We can expect new M-release prolly on next Monday (Aug 3) and updating from nightlies till around Jul 26 should be safe.

Current list of notable features for M9 compared to M8:

InCallUI improvements:

AOSP state: Contact picture spans room between status bar and call buttons

State after our first change: Contact picture always stretched over the whole screen, even if a large part of it was obscured by the call buttons.

With this patch: Contact picture during ringing is stretched to cover the space under the glowpad. In-call, the picture fills the room between top of screen and call buttons.

Also i am happy with M8, doesnt chnage anything just delete few apps from system/app which i never use. It runs Stable and very fast, so very good job :good:

I am currently running 20140726 and experiencing a disgusting amount of lag & battery drain. Has anyone else experienced this lately & if so, what were your fixes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Conte Mascetti:
No lags here running yesterday's nightly, but I confirm since the last month huge battery draining. I use fancy kernel so that's probably why I got no lags. But even with undervolted settings there definitely a battery drain. I think it's from the last Google service update, even if I full wiped a lot of times since that

Thanks. I just flashed SmittyV kernel & am going to try neph's kernel settings. Hopefully that will help a bit with both issues.

This is no CM-question, but I need some help.

I'm running ART (yeah, I know, CM doesn't "support that) and the problem is that I can UPDATE my Whatsapp. It's installed (with Titanium Backup) but I can't update it.

I've wiped cache and data for Google Play and Google Service, and for Whatsapp, uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted Whatsapp folders from /data/data, but every time I try to install it I get "invalid package error".

I've been using the older version of Whatsapp with success, but now it has some time limit that's made it stop working, and an update is a must.

There seems to have been a problem with Whatsapp and ART in the beginning, but now on 4.4.4 I guess that issue should be gone? http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/android/28000002

At the moment, I do not want to: 1. Go back to dalvik, and 2. Wipe the phone.

Does someone here got a Titanium Backup of the latest Whatsapp version, 2.11.301, "for ART", that I can try to restore?

EDIT: I once again restored my old TB, then manually downloaded the app from there site, them copied the downloaded file to /data/app and renamed it com.whatsapp-1.apk and the old one to .bak and rebooted. Now I got a working version, but I got no idea of if a new update will work.

Just flashed M9. Everything seems OK

I use gapps-gb-20130813-signed with no problems ever since I flashed CM for the first time!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Why not 2014-06-06 which is the official CM11 recommended version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
I am using YourZgapps, they are very small and runs fine without an problem.

The whole zip are just around 17mb big.

If you want to try them, HERE you can download them.

(Use 4.4 and not 4.4.3 version ;))

Thanks goes to [MENTION=4858134]ZordanKV[/MENTION], who made this gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:
Ehmm... I don't know.. I had it flashed when I installed cm for the first time which was an unofficial build, and ever since it works fine with every cm update I (dirty) flash!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Do some of the apps get outdated or all they all individually updated from play store? If they all get it updated then why do they even bother to release newer-version gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:
As far as I know with "my" gapps there is no problem with updates!

I don't use all the Google Apps though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
Everything installed from Play store uses the /data partition, even if it's an update of an app originally installed in /system. That's why you can just uninstall the updates of apps which are resident in /system (but not uninstall the app altogether), an that's why some gapps packages are constantly updated (so that they keep staying in /system only). BTW: again, I suggest PA gapps, expecially for those of you that want less apps than CM itself installs by default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
So I take it there is a storage and ram advantage of having the apps in /system and that's why they do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
Yes, because system partition size is fixed, so all its unused space is wasted. That's why you want to squeeze everything you possibly can into it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stamgastje:
I had the same problem. Upgrading to CM11 M9 (released today) did not solve anything. I could only update WhatsApp after switching back from ART to Dalvik; I have not yet tried to switch back to ART to see if it then still works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtoo941:
Any expressions on M9 running dalvik so far? How is it compared to M8? Also does anybody recommend any custom kernel for M9?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
I am running M9 dalvik and it feels same as M8 (fast and no problems), as i have seen there are one more setting and few fixes. Never used any custom kernel so that i can not answer...

M9 bugtracker:

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/issues/?jql=project = CYAN AND affectedVersion = "11.0m9"

In theory updates should work, but "CM" Gapps before 20140606 had at least some framework mess-up which breaks framework updates.

There's no RAM advantage [1] and Gapps aren't that big really.

Constantly flashing new Gapps packages (which might introduce new bugs) to save a few MBs sounds wasteful.

[1] There are still some Gapps like Google Search which cannot be disabled (if you want that), but if it isn't in your Gapps packages you won't have it running.

Custom kernels aren't recommended:

So in order to update my gapps with recovery should I delete the previous ones and flash the 20140606 .zip or I just flash the new zip?

How do I delete if I must?

For me, M9 is slower than M8. Flashed 2 times with diferent gapps. Stock kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danijel00:
My battery life is abysmal :( I don't know if my battery has lost its capacity, but with cm m8 an m9 I don't get a 24hr stand by, less than 2hr ost
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Try Fancy Kernel - it might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:
Thanx a lot!

So I just flash it over the existing gapps and if this does not work OK I follow the troubleshooting, by wiping and reinsralling system & gapps?

Or the second method is better all the way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rseiler:
Is there more information about that issue? I haven't run into it, at least, though I'm not exactly sure what a framework mess-up would look like.

I ask because the latest "small" version is still 20140105. I think that version is more appropriate for phones with less than sprawling system space like the Gnex. It's only about half the size of the larger file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I don't see where this answers Dominic65s question. He asked specifically if it was advised to delete the previous gapps before flashing newer gapps. The link addresses new installs and troubleshooting but I didn't specifically see updating and whether you should flash over old gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JuggaloDroid:
I think the message trying to be conveyed (correct me if I'm wrong) is that option #4 in that troubleshooting section might be the best way of going about things as it could just be considered a best practice.

As for myself, the research I have done suggests that this may be a good course of action: wipe cache/dalvik > reinstall rom > install latest gapps > flash any other mods if you want > wipe cache/dalvik > reboot

If anyone has any other suggestion or improvements on the steps above, please feel free to contribute. I'm very new when it comes to best gapp practices and usually just update from playstore (not sure if that's an issue or not).

Hope this helps :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
In order to update or install a different gapps version, I suggest to do the following:

1. Manually wipe system partition

2. Flash rom

3. Flash gapps

4. Flash kernel or any other add-on (optional)

5. Wipe cache and dalvik

6. Reboot

This method won't make you lose any data or settings. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DomieMic65:
So guys any more comments about what gapps is preferable for the gnex... Normal or small?? THNX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
I am completely satisfied with this solution, all the documentation here:

1) PA Gapps mini, removing stock launcher and Pico TTS

2) Google play services/play games update module

3) Google camera addon (optional)

4) Google keyboard addon (optional)

5) Gapps remover, that I use to get rid of Books, Music, Gallery, Movies, Newsstand, Sound search, Face unlock, Email, Exchange and several other bits and pieces that I don't use or like. I'm not even sure which ones of these are actually installed by CM11, but I don't care, I've compiled a text file with a list of unwanted packages that, if found, are removed during the process.

Check it out, it's constantly updated and works beautifully!

sgspluss, if it's happening only when you are on the phone (like happened to me), you could have a look at this:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/fix-proximity-sensor-call-issue-t2016338

Disabling the proximity sensor worked for me. FYI - I'm on a late June nightly (not quite M8, but something close to it).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
I've had a couple of battery pulls during the month of M8 use, but wasn't really too annoyed by that, still much more stable than most nightlies or previous M releases I've had before. If that happens on a daily basis, I suggest a clean wipe (dirty flashes often LOOK like they went fine, but did not quite ;))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgspluss:
No i get freezes when i was sufring or writting, every time i do an other thing.

Sure i always flash clean, dont like dirty flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hordarian:
Switched on ART today (from developer options).

What a phenomenal difference. All CM11 releases I've used have had sluggish behaviour and hangs, reliable but feeling dated. Not any more, its as snappy as a piranha. No amount of messing with governors has given anywhere close to this amount of response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
When I tried ART a while ago, the only real difference I noticed was the agonizing slowness of the first boot after every rom update... I'm really surprised when I hear people raving about it with such enthusiasm. Maybe it's just me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
I had the same experience...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
No big difference for me neither. My phone is still laggy and lack RAM. A lot of app installed and Tasker and CallRecorder and some other **** always running I guess both Dalvik and ART will be laggy for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpw13:
Make sure you're formatting /system in addition to /data when you do a clean install. I've found that that step has cleaned up lingering issues for me. Also if you see this with other ROMs you might consider reformatting your SD; it's rare, but I've seen instability result from corrupted SD cards before.

I've seen zero hard hangs on M8 (using dalvik) since it came out. I've seen one dalvik crash (boot animation starts without full reboot), but that was while watching video and I wasn't able to reproduce.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Has anyone's navbar stopped being transparent in the launcher? I use Nova and it was transparent before. I dirty flashed M9 over the 0725 nightly.

I had this exact same problem and a combination of clearing google frameworks cache, restoring play store to factory settings, and switching back to Dalvik plus uninstalling and reinstalling Whatsapp fixed it

Yeah, for me to on some apps, not Google Launcher, but in Gmail, messages. Though that had to do with me using a theme?

/Söder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
I'm using a theme as well but temporarily switching back to CM default doesn't change this behavior. Plus it only happened after flashing M9. I've been using the theme a little while longer.

Also strange is that M9 is very laggy at times but fine at others. I have no idea why. It's quite speedy at the moment even though lots of apps are running including Facebook and FB Messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
For all of you with lag problems, this maybe won't solve ALL of them, but I suggest you give Smart Launcher a try. It is different, may take a while to get used to, but when you do you'll probably won't come back. And it's super-fast... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
WTF, lag problems doesn't only appear on the homescreen.

Changing the launcher is like "the first" thing people talk about, and was something that made a difference in 2010. It will not fix lag problems somewhere else. =)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klingklang76:
Fair enough, but still... I'm better off with it than I was without ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rseiler:
Am I correct that the Protected Apps feature does not truly disable apps like, say, Autoruns would (upon reboot) on Windows?

To test this, I toggled Whatsapp in Protected Apps and rebooted. Whatsapp was still listed in my running processes, however. The icon was gone from the launcher, but I think that's all it did.

BTW, when re-toggling Whatsapp, the icon didn't return, which is odd, but that's not my main concern.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Conte Mascetti:
1. Double tap to wake: it's Kernel related, so if you use cm Kernel you don't have it. Must use another Kernel (fancy or dirty v... Xda it's full..)

2. That is "aospa lockscreen notifications" and no, that feature (very sadly) is not in Cyanogenmod.
