Well, you don't NEED to, but you know how curiosity works ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
The problem is that TWRP hasn't been updated to support 4.4 yet.

Nova Launcher and Google Home are two separate launchers. You can use one or the other, with Google Home providing the "OK, Google" functionality at the home screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
That may be so, however I took what SuperFilapo said to mean that he was unable to leave his recovery and I did mention that he should still be able to flash a 4.3 ROM through it. I was just posting the only Odin flashable recoveries that I knew of since that's what was asked for. CWM may have been asked for but I only knew of the TWRP links.

Also there is an unofficial build of TWRP that supports 4.4 ROMs. It's only a flashable zip though and a link can be found in the Quantum thread. I personally haven't tried it though.

Sorry to clutter your thread and keep up the great work jermaine151.

Here's the link to the Unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
Yes I know they are separate, that's why I stated that I just would like the functionality of saying OK GOOGLE with Nova Launcher. Guess I'll have to wait and hope they do that for their launcher.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Did a dirty flash everything working great and no more Google search errors and getting Google now notifications

Will test Bluetooth tethering a bit later tonight
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
I did the same thing and so far so good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Wow and Google wallet just works out of the gate with tap and pay... I am impressed lol

Anyone using the QuantumKernel 11/20 on this latest beta?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfangs:
Clean flash and all is well. Thanks again jermaine151 for another great build. Unfortunately however v4a doesn't seem to work on this build for me. Will try some more testing though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
V4A seems to be working fine in headphone and speaker... Haven't tried bluetooth yet

EDIT1: I take that back... you're right... V4A stopped working

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

EDIT2: Ok Looks like this ROM broke V4A in a WEIRD way. I figured out a way to make it "work" (for one song).

Start a music player without the headphones. Make sure you have "Phone Speaker" portion enabled. Now once the music is play... plug in your headphones and it will continue to play with V4A enabled and processing.

BETA 6 wasn't like this.

EDIT3: iHeartRadio apps are also broken now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
I am on an AT&T i747 but now the info say I have a tmo sgs3 hopefully won't be a big mess in the Play Store with this, specially managing devices

Do I have to wipe and flash if I'm on an earlier version of the beta?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperFilapo:
I ran out of "Thanks" for today... so thanks to spongdangly. I was looking for CWM 6.0.4.3 to install this ROM because I'm one of the idiots who let the 4.3 OTA brick one of my devices. After I replaced that device(and mine for good measure) I was not aware that the 4.3 OTA was the cause, with it's bootloader. So I allowed the two new devices to receive the OTA. I wasn't going to flash anything on the new devices because I thought I had bricked the old GS3... but the flash craving came and I gave my GS3, running 4.3 OTA, a shot today and after reading another thread was told that this ROM was confirmed to work on a GS3 that had been imprisoned by 4.3 OTA. So I was trying to get off the stock ROM and get back to custom.

When I backed up the stock ROM, I made the mistake of doing a full wipe before reading the installation instructions for this ROM... and had no way to get that version of CWM. So I went to load the backup(Restore) and it would not boot... I was freaking out a bit. But all is well, I rooted both of my Stock 4.3 GS3's with Auto Root using Odin. Installed TWRP(that spongdangly linked me to) using Odin. Then flashed SlimBean 4.3 + Gapps. Now that I have an operating system that not only has no Knox, but also boots, I can use that to get CWM Touch from ROM manager and give Beta 7 a shot!

So moral of the story, I semi bricked my device, and was able to recover. :)

Currently running My GS3 & My GF's GS3 on SlimBean 4.3 and will be trying Beta 7(from here) ASAP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
BIGGER PROBLEM! I just rebooted my phone and now it's asking for a PIN #. I never set anything of that sort... how do I get back in??!?!?

I've searched the treads for about an hour now does anyone have a mirror for the CWM that we're posed to use when flashing Android 4.4.+ Kit Kat?

I'm old and don't know what v4a is..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rdoac:
Slingplayer still not working, so not the same issue as Netflix. If anyone wants to look into it, I'll open my slingbox for them, send me a pm.

Otherwise, all looks good. I miss the experimental dialer from the kanged apps (can we just take the apk out and copy it to system?).

Phone now believes its a d2tmo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tenorntex:
v4a is viper 4 android. It is an audio enhancement settings and app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VashTS:
sorry to add more questions, but jermaine whats going on with installing apps? do you have any idea why some fail but some work? i find it weird.

i am thankful for your work sir! you rock, i've been jumping back and forth to see the improvements and that is the only things that bothers me. i've tried installing via adb but that fails as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlothlyDX:
It's a play store issue. I get out on all roms. Google needs to fix this issue. I don't believe roms have too much control over installing apps

Crack-Flasher
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jermaine151:
What he said and ART will make some apps not work as well, if that's what you're running.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuxattack80:
awesome release man!!! smooth, great performance and great battery life! quick question? Is the kernel that you are using a truley stock cm kernel or have you tweaked it? Looking at possible getting back into building some on the side and trying to find out what device trees are working best.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jermaine151:
It's the stock CM kernel with the cherry picks for d2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:
Really solid ROM Jermaine! not a single issue up to this point!

Quick question(because the memory thing again ::silly: ): In settings/About Device, the device is listed as a SGH-T999, this info comes from the build.prop, right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jermaine151:
Thanks bud!! That's correct.

It's an audio "app". A Very good one at that. Its like the king kong of DSP Manager. :D

As mentioned before it was working beautifully from Beta 5(RLS1) to Beta 6. Beta 7 is broken

Anyway hope there is a fix for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VashTS:
guess that solves it! im using ART. i guess the devs of the apps will need to update?

i dont have any issues from the play store and ive installed a good 20-25 apps from it. its just my apk backups that fail and its random, like rayman jungle run fails, moon reader + pro, ePSXe, and others. even apps with root permission to install fail, like blackmart.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mikessv:
My phone said T999 too but I changed it in the build.prop, the rom is running smooth and because I'm on T-Mobile this build works out for me. Thanks for all the hard work.

I have a request if you can fit it in is there anyway you can change the clock and everything up top to blue like the older versions of Cm?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
The white status bar icons are sort of a 4.4 staple :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kangi26:
IMHO, I've tried TONS of different "Audio Enhancements" throughout the years/Devices, and to be honest, what works the best for me? I purchased Poweramp for my audio playback(Screen is too small for any video playback to be worth it for me).

If all you're looking for is higher quality music playback, get Poweramp, it's a ton easier than messing with all of the enhancements

Again it's just my opinion/experience
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Problem with power amp you are limited to only what you play through poweramp

V4A IS SYSTEM WIDE... People that loves poweramp are turning off its feature to get V4A because it's that good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] john.fast:
Beta 7 is very smooth so far for me. Only one issue, using the experimental gapps with the new dialer is causing me a few "com.android.phone" errors....has anyone been able to fix this? or is it just an issue with the experimental gapps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ariesdroid:
Beta 7 is RAD

Hey [MENTION=2672626]jermaine151[/MENTION] thanks again for an amazing build!! Its kind of weird seeing the different model # and tmo in my about phone section but i will change it on my own.. :)

The ONLY issue i have came across so far is that on my first 2 try's at installing beta 7 i installed my SuperSU v 1.75 zip that i have become accustom to using to make sure root is all good. Both of those installs i LOST root...very weird. So on the 3rd install i didn't flash it and now i have root through superuser for the first time on these builds. Its working great. Just kind of confused because SuperSU just updated to 1.75 and it was what i used on all other builds until now. Anyway, heads up for anyone else that has been using SuperSU , it doesnt seem to be working with this newest build.

Just switching to art now.... :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larz_Plummer:
Working like a champ! Thank you for the build.

Notes for future releases:

Wallpaper cropper crashes when trying to set an image as wallpaper from both the gallery & the Photos app.

Inability to save camera images to SD.

The cool thing is that both are not show stoppers or issues because there are ways around both.

Thank you again

Sit tight...as soon as xposed framework is updated to run with 4.4 this wont be a issue anymore. But personally i was always using xposed to change the statusbar white!! haha...so i love it.

I am not sure if I can ask this here. But I can't seem to find a thread... anyway.. if needed please move.

Since TiBu doesn't work in ART runtime. Is there another app that someone can recommend that will backup/freeze/remove system apps that WILL work in ART runtime?

I prefer ART over Xposed at the moment.

Read the thread before u try running ART with Xposed.

Anyone uses Hulu Plus? Seems like it won't play the main video kinda like Netflix back in the earlier betas
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
XPosed will get updated soon I'm sure. The demand and utility for it it's high enough, and since there are already 4.4 builds, it's only a matter of time until it works with ART.

On a side note, is anyone successfully using the experimental gapps package with Beta 7 and ART?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbze430:
Personally I love this new ART runtime. Everything is fast! At first I thought it was pseudo effect but it's really much faster with all apps.

Only thing is... gotta find alternative apps from what I am used to.

I'm not seeing posts with all the issues I saw before. Does this mean that this build is running well for you folks? :) Running great for me. 22 hours off of the charger and 59% remaining.

It's running GREAT, although I'm not seeing quite that good of battery life, currently at 63% 6hrs off charge, 1hr screen time, and crap cell signal. But there was a LOT of messing around, configuring etc.

The AOSP keyboard ("LatinIME"?) crashes when I swipe to enter a word. (Non-swipey input is fine.)

Logcat

Note that I've set up my phone without any Google anything, so the keyboard has not gotten replaced by the Google keyboard--it's the keyboard that ships in the ROM.

Thanks for your work!

Update: Looks like this might be fixed once this commit is brought over. TIL that scoring for the swipey-keyboard is Google-proprietary. Interesting.

Am I missing something? I go to flash Beta7 and get a bunch of Bootloader errors, and "Installation Aborted".

Thank you guys for the sanity check. I haven't had any of these issues either. My phone has NOT randomly rebooted on any of my builds. I don't change the kernel and I flash it according to my instructions in the OP. I'm amazed at how good it runs and I'm impressed with the battery life. If I posted a screenshot of my current battery life, I'd blow your mind. This rom is super stable if you follow instructions.

With the new build, I was also pleasantly surprised to find I had Tap-to-pay functionality in Google wallet as well. I happy danced when that occurred.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DrownedElf:
I have to say beta 7 has been the best yet. For whatever reason, every prior beta gave me some pretty horrible battery life. Beta 7 has been some of the best battery I've had in a CM release in quite awhile.

I did have one random reboot where it came back without sound, but it's something I've randomly had even in past CM builds. This is easily one of the most stable betas I've used.

I didn't let the battery drain fully, but I was on pace for ~24 hours with moderate use.

Xposed...

So this Beta 7 build has still been running flawless...Has anyone ever lost the "ok Google" voice command though? I'm running Dalvik again this morning so i could play with xposed and see whats working and what isn't...The main thing i noticed was as soon as i went back to dalvik with xposed installed the ok google voice command stopped working. I have to press on the mic manually to open it...hmmm...

As for xposed, xblast mod works (some of it) I was able to change holo background theme and wifi and data icons and clock position...although the xlocky feature wont add a custom lockscreen wallpaper or change the lockring or anything. none of it works.

Xui Mod works to add listview and system animations, and advanced power menu works to add screenshot back to your power menu...

that's as far as i have got so far. Still trying to figure out the google now problem though...very strange...going to restore my backup with Art enabled and see if it was even working then...pretty sure it was though...
