[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Heart Foxx:
Definitely a difference in quality. AOSP camera pictures tend to be slightly more grainy, at least from what I've noticed. I have both on Hyperdrive right now and, even after just playing with the AOSP camera, it's pretty clear that there is, at the very least, a slight difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crossoverdoc:
Seems like a very noticeable difference to me. Stock TW with this phone was absolutely mind-blowing. Now I'm running Liquid and I love every single thing about it, but the camera is lacking. I don't mind not having the features, but the lower quality makes me consider switching back to TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coderedpl:
I wonder if someone could figure out the camera enough to make the pictures be on par with tw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beanfield:
I just installed the google edition rom and haven't noticed any difference...then again I don't normally pay attention to that kind of stuff (unless the difference is glaring).

Is it the sharpness, light, dynamic range that doesn't compare?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:
Anyone try to flash the touchwiz camera on CM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ejhollyer:
I'm running PureGv3 and can honestly say I don't notice any stark difference in my photos. Granted, I haven't viewed them on an actual full screen, but I'm not a pixel connoisseur.

One thing I have noticed, however, is that my AOSP camera is just plain faster. I didn't need all the bells and whistles from TW. I just wanna take pictures. I HATED that "Processing..." screen I would occasionally get with my TW camera. I swore sometimes it took more than two full seconds to add a photo. Now it just zips right in there. I couldn't be happier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Claribelsmith:
I'm quite new to both the devices so can't say which one is best .. but looking closely over the comments to see what is good in snapping the poses

Vulnerability Allows Attackers to Modify Android Apps Without Breaking Their Signatures

This might be the reason why the new MF2 and ME6 are not downgradable and why the 4.2.2 update was delayed.

Source->http://www.cio.com/article/735878/V...ndroid_Apps_Without_Breaking_Their_Signatures
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
I really thought more people would be interested in knowing this. I would really like to know what you guys think about this.
[Galaxy Note II General] mpcjanssen:
Key phrase here is "for apps not installed through the google store". Hence not an issue for a large fraction of users. Total case of FUD. Someone must be wanting to sell some av software.
[Galaxy Note II General] mat9v:
Well, X-Ray scanner either does not detect this latest security flaw or N7100 (as of DM6) is allready patched.
[Galaxy Note II General] djmcnz:
This is the first link I found for XDA on this.

I think it's not that interesting because it's old, old news and exactly why it's being touted as a "new" discovery is beyond me, it's far from new.

We here at XDA have been using this method for years to modify stock Android and OEM system apps with great success. Here's an example by me from 2011: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=994544 there's a literally hundreds of examples all over XDA.

The real question here is how Bluebox security got everybody to act as a PR machine for them. If they turn up at Black Hat with this "amazing discovery" they're going to get laughed off the stage.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Ahh! Thats the answer I was waiting for (and from a Recognized Developer). I knew XDA Devs were using this method. My new question is.. If they fix it will it be harder to create Mods? Will it slow down development?
[Galaxy Note II General] FinancialWar:
Shouldn't this be posted in the generals forum?
[Galaxy Note II General] djmcnz:
I suspect so. If they fix it properly it would become impossible to change any aspect of the app without signing it again. If you wanted to maintain compatibility with the original then you'd need the developer's keys.

At the moment really only the manifest and some metadata within the apk is signed, if they extended that to the entire contents of the apk many mods (think themes for stock Google apps etc) are screwed unless users are happy to relinquish Play Store links and updates (i.e. backward compatibility).

Google may not go this far and may only choose to authenticate the code (smali) rather than all of the apk contents (graphics, strings etc), this approach would leave room for some mods to survive. Remains to be seen.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ligerblitz:
I have just noticed that the rubber on my charge port flap is loose from the flap on both long sides but still attached to the ends. I do not know if it is torn from the flap or unstuck. Does anyone else have this problem? I think my phone's water resistant capability has been compromised.

I've also noticed that the flaps for the charger port and the micro sd slot are made with a thinner and probably less durable rubber seal than the headphone and dim card flaps.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunfl4sh:
I would send it to sony and buy myself a docking station
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] av4tar:
I've noticed with mine that the use port flap doesn't always close/seal first time as it pushes itself back out. Have to push it in a certain way before it stays closed, is going to go back via my network first as warranty is with them.

Something wrong with the flap either way for both of us
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Yes docking station is ur best bet. I try to use my flaps as minimum as I can. Or if u use them a lot leave them open most of the time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
In case you hadn't noticed, cyanogen has been releasing nightly builds for our device. There has been a release almost every day. I'm running today's release 20130705 and no issues yet.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
As a matter of fact I have a huge one for pure Google, plus other things. ;):D

There is work being done on the connection issues though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
I don't blame you. I hate sense and touchwiz and all other skins out there for the phones.

But the connection issue is a bigger problem for me, so hopefully they will get it fixed.

But i highly doubt they will since they never did with the original EVO.

All they said was "we are looking into it / working on it"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
ANYWAYS....

it exciting that the cm team is putting out nightlies. Also, I see that deck has been putting in work for this device and the newer kernel. As always, its fun and cool to watch development happening before our eyes.

If everything worked out of the box, and nothing was ever borked, then there wouldn't be much to develop and this website might not be here...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevlar3d:
Thanks for posting, I was bummed when they stopped nightlies for our device and wouldn't have known that they started again if it wasn't for your post.

fwiw - I get great reception with CM. I am currently running meanrom and it seems to put the phone in 2g in areas where other sprint customers have strong 3G. Reboot (or flip airplane mode on-off) and I get a strong 3g signal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
I find that my reception doesn't differ from ROM to ROM if I'm in a good signal area regardless.

But in area that switch from 1x of 3g to LTE I find that sense ROMs offer more data stability....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] orangekid:
Greetings!

I implore you to please try to keep this on topic and respectful. Civilized disagreements can certainly be had, but let us not stoop to sophomoric insults and puerile retorts.

Thank you for your participation, together we can make a difference :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
I had been looking for a CM ROM after all of the great things I've read about it, because the 10.0.0 stable release for 3.16 didn't include kernel updates for the touchscreen on my EVO, so I was glad to find the nightlies and give it a go.

Maybe it's only because I've gotten used to the stock Sense and MeanBean, but I really can't find any love for this ROM.

I really wanted to like it, too. I have often read about how its built-in tethering is first-rate along with a number of other advantages,

but I just can't discover them.

Signal strength for voice is abysmal; I can not get a data signal of any sort; USB tethering will not turn on; I can find no option to change the weather info from Celsius to Fahrenheit; some settings I have commonly adjusted are accessed in a much different fashion; and so forth...

The last straw was having an endless startup animation for well over an hour after restoring apps & data, rendering this ROM useless on my device. Granted, the backups came from a Sense-based ROM, so there's likely some incompatibility happening, but I've invested far too much time since I got this device a short time ago(May 10) into unlocking, rooting and S-OFF, and finding and installing apps and tweaks, just to start over from scratch as if I had never used the device before CM.

After all I have read about the CM mod, I honestly had high hopes and expectations for using it on my device. It's just not like anything I had expected, and maybe that's my own fault for not having researched it more fully, but it's been a major disappointment to me. I could also chalk up my disappointment in CM to being a complete N00B with Android devices, not really understanding much about the platform, but that's also a stupid n00b remark.:eek:

I truly appreciate all the time and effort that goes into compiling the CM ROM(and others), and understand a small bit of what it takes to accomplish it, but it's just not to my liking. Does that make me a bad person? :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
Not at all....

Like I said before the mods stepped in, don't knock it till ya try it, and if you don't like it then try something else.

My phone runs like a beast on AOSP ROMs , but that's my experience on my phone. I still run on sense though, because I like sense...

This is why we rooted and unlocked our devices, to make them ours.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ppcpirate:
do the CM nightlies fix or alleviate some of the connection issues (dropping down from 4g to 3g or 2g) or is it a hardware problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
It's got to be a software issue, as the CM has given me almost no signal whatsoever, whereas MeanBean and stock has always provided usable signal strength. And I'm in a fringe area for 3G/4G signal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What I assume most people don't understand is that "Nightlies" are by definition test builds. They are simply built automatically, regardless of whether they work.

kushdeck is the Dev that maintains CM for our device, and he is working on solving ALL of the outstanding issues. In fact, on the EVO 4G LTE IRC channel (#htc-evo-4g-lte), there is a build that has all but eradicated the data issues. That's really the best place to go for CM builds, as it takes a while for changes and updates to be merged once fixes are discovered. By flashing builds from IRC, you can also take an active role in helping to test the builds by providing meaningful feedback and logs that can assist deck to identify and fix issues.

While the CM Nighlies are back, they do not have all of the current updates, changes and tweaks that deck has made to the kernel source and ROM to add features and improve stability. So those of you that have tried CM and had a bunch of issues, that's why. The ROM is still in development. So your options are either to assist with that development by helping with the testing, or waiting until everything is fixed and merged to CM. The choice is yours.

P.S. AOSP and Sense are VERY different. CM is very close to what Google intended when they built Android 4.2.2. Sense is HTC's overlay on Android 4.1.2, so if you've gotten used to Sense, there will be a learning curve involved, as HTC has obfuscated, modified or removed a significant amount of the stock Android features. But if you can get past that point, the benchmarking and speed comparison of the ROMs isn't even close, since Sense is such an immense RAM hog. And with the 3.4 kernel being integrated into CM, available memory is at 790MB, which makes multitasking an extremely pleasant experience.

P.P.S. To answer the original question - no, the Nightlies do not fix the data connection issues. However, the latest build I previously mentioned on IRC does. But it's indeterminate when those changes will be merged. Once this ROM is stable and close to 100%, deck will update his thread here with a link to the stable build. That's when you'll know it's ready for prime time.

P.P.P.S. Speaking of hardware issues, though, the EVO 4G LTE is known for being notoriously unreliable for holding signal, especially in fringe areas, when compared to other LTE-capable devices. So don't be surprised by that if you're comparing it to a different device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ppcpirate:
Thanks for the explanation, I've dabbled in AOSP on HTC touch pro 2 and used CM as a daily driver on my previous phone (galaxy s2). I'm a bit hesitant now because of a hard brick on the sgs2 (CM stopped working one day and couldn't flash recovery). but still wanting the improved experience stock offers. though nowadays some manufacturer's UI overlay do give you some useful features like the camera UI.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

another issue i've noticed is that when I'm on wifi and leave the phone idle for a while, the wifi seems to go to sleep along with any other data connection and won't wake up till i cycle either the wifi radio or toggle airplane mode. then get a flood of emails & messages. this is probably the most aggravating problem along with turrible 3g data speeds & not holding onto 4G connection.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
This sounds far more promising. Can I then assume that the URL displayed upon joining the channel(CM10.1: http://......) contains the build which is the most current, actively-developed one you mentioned?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trsix:
evervolv

Evervolv never stopped releasing nightlies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, that is the latest - but please remove the link from your post, as it's preferred to go to IRC to retrieve the link than having it here in open forum. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
Done, and thanks for the confirmation.

I'm off to give the fresh build a try. :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SkedAddled:
CM10.1 running and working great here, including touchscreen kernel support.

As suggested by Captain_Throwback, whom I have thanked, go grab the latest build from the IRC channel as mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1643396

Fixes for data, voice, and a lot of other functions are to be found.

Thanks, Cap'n!

Hmmm....

Stuck in a bootloop after trying a WiFi tether to my desktop machine.

Doesn't happen when tethering to my laptop.

Wonder what's wrong?

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Nope. I'm giving up on this one.

I honestly tried to like it, but it simply doesn't work in the way I expected it to.

A WiFi tether shouldn't send it into an endless boot loop.

I'm really sorry that I couldn't find the love for this ROM, but it's been more headache than anything.

I'm going back to the MeanBean.

Can you install the latest CM10.1 with s-on, then?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowmixtoo:
So when I first got the HTC One (on ATT) I was super pissed to find out Google Wallet or Google Hangouts (the A/V) portion was somehow disabled.

I've wanted to keep my phone stock (or stock-ish) so the most invasive thing I've tried was TrickDroid. Still no dice.

Finally, I figured that the GE edition ROMs would stop this tomfoolery, nope... still blocked.

So my questions are:

1) Are there any (hacky) ways to get this apps working?

2) Via what methods are they being block?

3) If it is truly ATT being the jerks here, does anyone want to help me create a ****-storm about this?

I know carrier blocking apps is old but coming from Tmo, this is really, really pissing me off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBishopOfSoho:
No matter what you do, Google wallet wont work properly, as the One doesnt have the required secure element to run it.

As for hangouts, they are working fine for me, not sure what might be happening there...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhatsAUsername:
Blatant misinformation. I know for a fact that you can get Google Wallet to run on the HTC One. Someone mentioned it earlier and took pictures to prove it. He even posted how he was able to do it, but I wasn't interested in rooting my phone, so I didn't look into it any further.

Oh, and as for Hangout, my HTC One came with Google Talk, and after a normal Play Store update, it changed to "Hangout" (Rogers HTC One, not rooted).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihavoc:
I know att announced that the av portion (video chat) will be enabled over the next few months. Starting with unlimited users and going down the line. I think it works for me now as I am on the unlimited data plan.

Also search there is a hack if rooted to allow this now. You have to modify a file.

As far as wallet. Att Verizon and t mobile have rejected wallet for there own proprietary system called Isis. Currently only available in salt lake city and Austin. www.paywithisis.com

It sucks because they have not expanded the system beyond those 2 cities in a long time.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
Wohah there. Unless you have a source that isn't blatent misinformation. Google wallet is not offically supported on the HTC One unless you are on the sprint network in the states. Source: http://support.google.com/wallet/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1347934

As the model in question is the AT&T version he is telling the truth. Getting it to work otherwise is a hack.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBishopOfSoho:
"Blatant" misinformation? Hardly. Try googling it, only Sprint editions of the One support wallet, there are many and varied references to other One versions lacking the hardware to support Wallet in its current incarnation.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
How's this? ;)

One thing worth mentioning: The HTC One Google Play Edition doesn't come with Google Wallet -- and the app also isn't available for installation on the device via the Play Store. (Wallet is installed on the GS4 Play Edition.) A Google spokesperson tells me this is due to the One's hardware lacking an embedded secure element that Wallet requires in order to run.​

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowmixtoo:
So there's a hardware deficiency on the GSM version?

Why even both putting NFC on the phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
NFC has other uses as well. You can share things easily between phones. Also some places have NFC payments without google wallet. In Canada Rogers and CIBC have teamed up and made NFC payments for the s3 (another phone without google wallet).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowmixtoo:
Google Wallet is the biggest NFC payment network for a phone. For people coming from Wallet devices (like I had the GN and the N4 before) this is an insane let down.

I would have never bought the HTC Onc and moved to ATT if this lack of functionality was made clear.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
All it took me to look up was a quick google search. And Google Wallet is only the biggest NFC payment system in the UnS. Everywhere else does not have that option. NFC does have other uses, limited yes, but other ones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Carrier Issue

IMO, this is a carrier's issue or fault, not HTC's.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
You're both missing the point. The issue being discussed is a h/w issue where, for some reason, HTC's omitted the secure element in the NFC chip they use that Google Wallet (and any other payment systems) is dependent on. Carrier's block access to Google Wallet but if the phone's properly equipped h/w wise you can work around it. You can't work around the absence of a secure element. If you want to know what the secure element does do a Google search on "Google Wallet secure element."
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
For the s3 I was not talking about google wallet there. I was talking about the Canadian variant of the s3. Google wallet is not available up here on any device on any carrier. That's why I was mentioning that. I may be incorect about the hardware component on that variant however my point of there are alternatives in other outcries remains.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsass600:
So, is the problem with NFC a physical hardware piece, or can it be fixed with software? "Lack of a secure element" is why Verizon blocked Google Wallet on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus but that still ended up working.
