Works fine except skype

First off, thanks for the great work with the ROM ports.

Installed V4 on my Nexus. Everything went smoothly.:D

Its been roughly 12 hours now. Some observations:

Google Now working great, even the voice part. The new google laucher and the look of the UI is great.

Whatsapp is working without issues.

Had backed up my SMS using backup+ so still cant restore them to the device. Thats expected, will wait for an update to the app.

Battery usage is on the higher side, but I guess will have to see after a couple of recharge cycles. Location History, Location Reporting both are on. Location mode set to high accuracy.

On a related note, have now installed radio version 0.54. The latest radio (0.84) never really worked for me even on 4.3. Have observed issues with deep sleeping of device when using 0.84. As of now 53% battery left after 5 hours 23 mins usage with 1 hour 30 mins screen on time. (Avg battery stats on 4.3 for me were about 30 hours with 3.5-4 hours screen on time)

Apps like BetterBattery Stats not working.

Weirdly, Skype is not working as well. App opens up -> login using microsoft account -> enter credentials+go -> app goes back to skype splashscreen.

Any heads up on the skype issue would be great. I am a regular user of skype chat so kinda important to me.

yeds but on Android 4.3 google now works on my smartphone. but not in 4.4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Czechnolog:
Thank you for you post.

I must say this PORT is one of the best I have ever tried.

Big thank to author.

I found today, that my device did not sleep during the night - check below.

It was awake even if screen was off.

Unfortunately, it discharged about 15% during 8 hours during night. :(

Normaly, it was about 3%.

Any tips?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ibkevin:
OK I'm gonna risk sounding like an a$$hat and ask, what's ART? And not the stuff u hang on a wall, haha very funny. But really, when u say what's app does not work with ART, what do u mean? I don't personally use what's app but I did read the post that states the ROM is even faster with ART so that struck my curiosity enough to ask. Not that this port is slow by any means. I'm loving it! :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] andersonaragao:
That's right, because I come from an iPhone and I was receiving notifications instantly but in android Apps like GTalk / Hangouts, Gmail, Whatsapp (partially push), Facebook Messenger, etc., use google's push service (GCM) through the TCP shared connection on the port 5228 between your phone and google servers.

But android by default use the periodic heartbeat (a small network data packet) Which is used to avoid the connection timeout. Unfortunately this heartbeat by default Occurs only on wifi every 15 minutes and every 28 minutes on 3G.

I put it 3 minutes over WiFi and 5 minutes over 3G and I get notifications of BBM, Facebook, and others, instantly.

I never more need an iPhone!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] boykioy:
Thank you for your review, i dont know about v4 as i am currently using the latest build which i am uploading now. as you may see skype is working.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] rohitsingh05:
Dont have any delay in push

I have read about this delay at quite a few places in the forum, however, I dont really think I have faced this problem with my phone. Push notifications are immediate and sometimes I get them on my phone before getting them on my laptop or the iPad, And I am talking about apps like Whatsapp, Facebook+Messenger, Exchange mail accounts (both office+personal).

So is this problem limited to specific operators/region/devices or am I missing something?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] :
Changelog V4 ( 05/11/2013)

Buid.prop tweaks from nexus 5

Deep sleep working properly

Insert sevaral libs from kit kat factory image nexus 5

More i can remember.

If you have troubles with busybox, flash this : busybox_armv7.zip and then reflash the super SU file.

If you want to use AK kernel combatible with 4.4 flash this : AK.106.KK.zip

Once more a suggest full wipe dalvick,data & cache before installing the rom, sppecially if you coming from 4.3.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] boykioy:
ha ha, no, its not uploaded yet...:laugh:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rohitsingh05:
Great!! And (I am sure I dont know but there must be) how do I flash the new version on without having to reinstall everything all over again. Pointing me to the relevant thread/comment would be enough. :)

Also, any major improvements? Changelog?

Once again, thanks!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] andersonaragao:
a new build is coming around?

I do not know, I think this happens if the connection goes down and back. Then he gives this heartbeat to check the connection again. I do not even know. I just know that before people talked to me and sometimes I received on time and sometimes not quite. After doing this, all resolved.

I can confirm this. Skype with Microsoft Account not working. Same problem here.

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Microsoft Account on Skype not working on V4 too.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ibkevin:
Wait! What? New build uploading now? If so man I'm glad I'm an insomniac and still awake at 5am! Go me! Actually, go you!! @ boykioy. You're the best bro! This is awesome! Quick question though, once a new build is uploaded, if I clean flash it, after install is done, do I need to reinstall the SuperSu zip in the op again? Or is that just a one time thing and still on my phone after I wipe clean?? Sorry for the newb questions guys. This is the first actually "ported" ROM I'm running really.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] delphiki:
Use SMS Backup & Restore, worked for me (from 4.3 to 4.4 or 4.4 to 4.4).

Note that it does not backup MMS or call logs, only SMS.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] boykioy:
Yes you have to reinstall super su file form the start. I always recomend full wipe when flashing but its up to you.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rohitsingh05:
Questions!!

For that I guess I will have to first downgrade back to 4.3, install sms backup+, restore messages, install sms backup & restore, make backup, upgrade to 4.4 and then finally restore my messages? that is a long process once I include app installations, settings, etc.,one I dont intend to do till the time official updates are available. But thanks anyways. :)

On a side, I have a nandroid of my 4.3 setup. Can I make another nadroid of my 4.4 setup, restore to 4.3 using nandroid, restore and backup messages, restore back to 4.4 using nandroid and finally restore the messages? Do the nandroid restore the phone to the exact same state in terms of every thing? Settings, app data, game saves? Anything that wont be backed up or restored through a nandroid?

I am a complete newcomer to the android scene so my apologies for asking so many questions. :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] neoruiz:
I just installed V4 and Skype is still working.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alekos panagulis:
ART seems very intresting. It seems to me the most important Kitkat innovation. I would like to try it out, too bad that Whatsapp is not working (I can live without). :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zeduaz:
Anyone who have android and whatsapp have also hangouts so the only one problem is, when somebody in your contacts have ios or wp... They will be dead for you when you enable ART :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] veteran_troller:
I'm sorry if I am asking retarded question, but does ART really provide any significant changes to performance or battery?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rohitsingh05:
Thats weird. In my case its just not signing in. Will reinstall it and try again.

EDIT: So apparently it works fine if you sign in using a skype username and password, but gets into a in loop if you try using a microsoft account to sign in. Thats weird.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bendavosvilla:
Thanks for this awesome port of KitKat. I've enabled ART and IMO this is a great addition to android everything is running silky smooth and lightning quick. Right now all is working great, thanks again for all your hard work on this ROM and for making it the best 4.4 ROM available.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] andersonaragao:
Yes. It work with Skype Account but not with Microsoft Account... But I think this is a bug of KitKat and not of the port.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alekos panagulis:
Sorry, my mistake. I wanted to say i can't live without it. Here in Italy we talk each other with Whatsapp, even if we sit at the same table :D

If I switch to ART runtime, my social life is DEAD. No thanks. :p:p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jyuuken:
Yup ur correct its found under dev options
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zeduaz:
I realy dont know yet... Just testing ART for a few hours, so maebe I will know more at the evening about battery consumption... But when I try google maps for example, its realy fast... No lags there when you compare it with stock 4.3... Its smooth like a charm ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mdk001:
I'm running v3 and all is well, except I set the DPI to 280 (which looks great) and there's issues with the notifications not displaying properly, like an out-of-place horizontal line under the time or overlapping action buttons under the notification text... I'll try to include a screen once I get a couple emails, but I was wondering if there's a quick fix for this that I'm unaware of
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zeduaz:
Try to use verbal comunication - I know this is old method of comunication, but u can still use it :laugh::good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] alekos panagulis:

:P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] neoruiz:
OK my bad, any of my MS account is not working in Skype right now. Only Skype account indeed.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] DaGr81:
after almost a week of use i noticed some issues such as - auto brightness level and battery is not optimized. (i know its not made for Nexus 4) just letting you guys know. Yes, ART makes it faster.

Regards,
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hazwheel:
Final version in OP is V5?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] saintsinner25:
Battery is the best i have had on any rom imho.but that maybe because I'm using different kernel settings/manual brightness for the first time.and yeah auto brightness is brighter than 4.3 stock/custom roms.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ChrisHRocks:
Anyone having trouble with titanium backup? It just crashed when I open it. I have converted to ART this may be the problem.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blackhartct:
Prob. I'm on art running v4. Better than asop IMO. Battery isn't optimal yet but once the image gets released I'm sure that will get fixed
[Nexus 4 Android Development] amapi:
Yep, Titanium did not work with ART, working fine with Dalvik
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dr_iggy:
Yes.

I know that this is the final version, but please update this when the drivers for the 4.4 out!! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fanpengyuan:
V4 with ART turned on is truly AMAZING. This definitely lifts the Android experience to a new level. But a few apps does crash.

Just saw V5 is uploaded, will give it a try tonight.

The only problem I have so far is I am unable to import sms from backup into Hangout. Without downgrading to 4.3, and import into Hangout then upgrade again, does any one have suggestions on how to import the sms?

Many thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Perilla_:
Probably, when the drives become available, we will have the factory image, so we will not need a port.

- titanium backup crash with ART

- Libon crash with ART
[Nexus 4 Android Development] andersonaragao:
Yes, but if it happens as written in the manual of KitKat and Nexus 5 launcher is different and also has other functions that do not have the Nexus 4, I wish I could test the Port with the drivers understood.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] MacFett:
If they have a ios or a windows phone they're dead to me already.

I've run into a problem with in-call volume. I have none. I've never flashed the LTE enabler and unless it is in an official CM rom or this rom. It started when I flashed from my 10.2.1 RC (forget the exact) to the 10.3 snapshot released at the start of Nov. At first if I went to speaker phone then back I have no in-call volume until I rebooted, now I never do. This ROM included.

This morning I went back to 10.1.0-RC2-mako and I have in-call again. Then flashed to this ROM and no in-call. I've tried the in-call volume fix scripts with no luck. I am on t-mobile.

I don't think this is a ROM problem, just hoping someone can help me figure out why it is doing this.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] misterk267:
I'm not sure but there is a free app called "nandroid manager" that can.

lol remove chrome with tittanium and install from market :P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] carepack:
If you habe problems with gapps try the odex gapps package provided by #gnome KK aosp rom or sometimes it helps to update chrome immediately after install rom via playstore. With Odex gapps ART is working.

Don't restore apps from 4.3. Install Thema apps as normal and restore with TB only appdata. More safe in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kBTWOFOUR:
Is anyone else having to charge the battery much longer compare to the first version of this ROM?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] absoluterebirth:
can i just flash this over v4 and wipe the caches after the install, like with the other versions?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] wietse1988:
Yes, I did, and worked oke,
[Nexus 4 Android Development] franzfume:
I have same question. I have v4 how I can install that final release?

tks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] absoluterebirth:
would you recommend that i reflash supersu along with v5?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] wietse1988:
Yes, otherwise you would loose root ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] absoluterebirth:
make sure you have the latest cwm recovery. then, download the zip and place it into your Nexus 4. Go into recovery. Flash the zip. Wait. Then when you boot in, reboot into recovery again and clear the caches. That's it :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hw0603:
Can I ask how did you port this rom?

If you did this by changing and modding some files, I wonder that other nexus 5's rom can be ported to our devices with your method.

Thanks for this great rom!:)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zeduaz:
Yes, after this step its working, but why to do that? Everytime I released my own MIUI roms I control them for the first time before uploading them... Its easier to check it before, than repair it later...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] linelock:
Gapps are included in the port. No need to flash any.

If you want root, yes.

There are sevaral thread about porting roms in general thread,start from there.its not easy but its also not that hard.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] carepack:
yes. but when chrome had fc's a reflash of the right gapps package helps. try it.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Foolishbison:
I don't think you need to apologize for giving us a free taste of KitKat. For me to uninstall with TB and reinstall from the play store is about 15 seconds worth of work. Not a problem. Thanks for all your hard work on this. I can't wait to see what you do once the official drops.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] wietse1988:
Maybe if you try search, and search for mirror, you could perhaps find a mirror of V5 which downloads fast ;)

So I'm on v4 and saw that there is a toggle for LTE. I activated it and LTE works. Is there a hybrid kernel included in this ROM? Or enabled by n5 port or 4.4? I know there were rumors of a LTE n4 to be released with n5.
