Is there anyway to get the user switcher ability on 8/7? Am I just blind or is it somewhere hiding?

Any info is appreciated!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dotnetguyaz:
It isn't available for phones. Only tablet devices.

Sent from my GT-P5113
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kant5t1km3:
Ah, I see...I came from PAC--rom so I'm use to a ton of features haha. Thanks for the answer!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dotnetguyaz:
No problem!!! I wanted the same thing... maybe 5.0 will have it.

I had some odd behavior today after a dirty flash of 8/7 but I suspect it was the loose nut behind the wheel. (stupid user error). Didn't clear cache/dalvik. It worked for a while then things started to get odd... Apps failing/Play Store error msg/keyboard crash/hot battery from charging.

Factory Reset seems to have resolved the bad install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
I've been dirty flashing since Pwncakes first 10.2 build. I just did a clean install of 8/7 after trying out PA's 10.2.

Not seeing the Hardware long press back to kill app option.

Anyone know when or why it was taken out? Love that feature.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dotnetguyaz:
Not sure WHY it was taken out, but I'm glad it was. Users shouldn't be killing apps unless an app is truly misbehaving. I've been a dev on Android since 1.5 and I can tell you first hand; let Android do what it is designed to do, especially on a beefy device like the S3. If an app is misbehaving, reboot. Plus, the "back to kill" and "swipe to kill" in Recents is a placebo anyhow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
It just got removed in stock CM for some reason. I'll try cherry picking it in. How is everyone liking the Krait? Iǘe been running some benchmarks and itś been blazing fast. I'll try putting out another build at some point tonight, there have been some nice minor bufixes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Just found out its still there. MY BAD

Developer options at the very bottom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dotnetguyaz:
No. Please. Leave it out. I really wish Google would just remove the functionality from Android altogether. *sigh* THIS is what makes being a developer a nightmare at times.

As for the ROM; The optimizations have been awesome! Not a single issue yet! Speed is simply incredible. Keep it up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
If I can ask, what's the harm in killing an app that way? I only ask cause you said users shouldn't be doing it.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dotnetguyaz:
I apologize in advance for the rambling... But you asked. :) LOL

Lots of things. First, you are basically defeating memory management as Android learns how to prioritize apps based upon your usage (granted, for us flashers, it's not so grand because we always wipe out the stats). When you "kill" an app, you are telling Android that you want to control memory usage. Additionally, when you switch away from an app, it's placed into a suspended state. For the most part, it shuts down (unless it is listening for intents or push notifications) so that it uses no CPU and/or battery. It is basically cached and just sitting there waiting for you to come back to it. When you send a SIG-HUP, you are telling it to be closed and removed from cache. So, when you go back to that app, you have to relaunch it all over again. Now, some apps aren't written as well as others and don't cache very well OR don't handle the finalization signals very well. Those apps silently crash in the background. It's well known in the developer community that it costs MORE resources to throw an exception (because you actually create an object to contain the exception) than to simply handle the error condition properly. You can take a look at a lot of this by simply pulling a logcat and see how many apps throw swallowed up exceptions upon being forced to shut down rather than having the OS do it gracefully.

Secondly, Android, being Linux, operates BETTER with more ram being used rather than less. It's an operating system that was built and designed from the ground up to operate on swap and caches. This isn't Windows.

Lastly, there is a reason why the "back to kill" is in the Developer Options. It's there so that as we are writing apps, we can kill them if we need to and a reason why Android "out of the box" now hides the Developer Options.

The bottom line is that when you force close apps to reclaim ram, you are actually causing Android to work harder because it has to recache what it already had cached in the first place. If your phone is acting sluggish, reboot it. You'll get better results as all the caches are cleared and the system can do what it was written to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
Well, I'm know longer using the Back to kill app option. Appreciate the explanation sir.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Got a prettttyyyy prettttttyyy prettttyyy good build cooking up in the oven. Lots of features, but I'll spill the beans once I figure out what works. I will have a private update running for it, so those of you who are slinking around the forum should check their PM's later.

For anyone interested I've been watching lots of Larry David stuff lately, especially the never ending stream when I'm working on 4.4 stuff. Gotta love that Seinfeld.

I used it once, and to be honest it was a little bit quicker in my opinion.

You guys are the usuals so of course. There is the chance of me falling asleep before it compiles, but that probably won't happen. I'll also start to post the changleogs in the Google Documents link that's in the OP, so check there for the latest changes and such.

Beta 6 so far is already missing the Camera fixes that we need. I don't get what the problem is but hopefully it'll be worked out soon. Quicksettings stuff is working nicely though.

Superuser IS fixed in ART!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brobinson2102:
Yep, supersu survives the ART cutover.

My early morning duck-face selfies are rebooting the phone.

Seems pretty snappy on first pass.

Just installed PA GApps. Received fc on the initialization wizard.

Still banging away.

Oh its pm.sleep_mode=1 not pcm mistype? Lol

And also I've noticed log cats can't be disabled on 4.4 useing profiler.force_disable_ulog=1

&

profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1

So those 2 are useless as of 4.4.

But other than that most of these tweaks have a function and work nicely.

Me and berryman have been collaborating the perfect tweaks. Adding some and getting rid off the useless. There's always room for improvement and I'm always looking.

edit

Oh and vaccum sqlite script is very useful...unlike someone else had said but putting that aside I think it well worth adding it in. Because it optimizes the databases and it takes less time accessing the files within the .db files. For instance the script optimized the database for my some 200 songs on neutron. Now neutron scans media every app boot and takes a little especially with lots of MP3s. With this script it has cut the loading time by more than half. Seriously. I kid you not. Not to mention all of the other databases it has optimized for quicker file access. If your skeptical about it that's fine its not like I'm forcing anyone to use them I'm just spreading my experience with them. But you should use em for a better user experience. ;)

Quantum 2.4, games, black screen

Hello all,

I'm running Quantum 2.4 with the default kernel. Great job, super stable and rich

I noticed a few of my games do not open on this ROM (Daddy was a thief, muffin knight). They'll open up and stay at a full black screen indefinitely.

Any ideas? It's likely not a Quantum issue directly. I've noticed it with a couple of CM10.2 ROMS as well.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brobinson2102:
Beta six is smooth.

I reinstalled with a little more patience this morning, wiping cache/delvik between ROM and gapps flashes.

Camera from Jermaine as mentioned works fine.

Performance is slick.

With Art on, biggest improvement I saw was loading up SMS backup and restore. Restore was lightening fast.

Gapps didn't trigger it's setup wizard. I'm using PA Full Modular dated Nov 18.

Instead, I just restored with Titanium before switching to ART.

Will drive it today to see how battery performs.

Hope this helps.

Posting in the thread for a link is a definite way to not get one :) I'm trying to keep it so that the thread is only actual bug reports and stuff like that for a while. Last release was a disaster due to the fact that everyone and their mother let me know that camera wasn't working. never seen so much discussion over that one issue :silly: I mostly want to fix camera before the next release, but ART being fixed also seems pretty cool...

1. Factory Reset X 3

2. Format System

3. Format internal SD

4. Factory Reset

5. Flash Beta 6

6. Flash PA Full GAPPS

7. Flash Jermaine's Camera Fix

8. Reboot Systam

Set up Wizard work flawlessly, apps are currently restoring. I have two camera apps. Original 4.4. camera causes reboot when taking front camera photos. Jermaine's fix has a working front camera. Once everything is set up and restored. I plan on flashing PA modified Gapps with Google contacts and testing ART. Will report and further developments after restore and set up is completed.

Meant to get to you before... I do like Odexing, I find it makes a whole lot of stuff a lot quicker at opening. No battery life differences.

For those who haven't gotten a PM for Beta 6, don't worry. Beta 7 is already in the oven and has a ton of even bigger fixes. Some of our favorite things like smurf colors got Shareef'd so I have to keep porting this stupid apk over. Smurf colors may be gone in regular 4.4 forever.

Bummed that I never got a PM, been around this thread for ages.

Beta 7 sounds very promising. I'm very glad that you're including the sql and color tweaks into the ROM. I am also interested in what your build prop looks like once I get the newest release. As for right now, I'm running beta 2 because the later builds have issues with the camera but more importantly with battery. Really excited to update though, I'm in withdrawal from not flashing for more than a day :crying:

Good times!
