As I understood it the launcher crashing issue was a general thing, I know it was affecting GEL and Trebuchet both.

As far as launcher preference goes I'll just say that I own licenses for Go EX, Apex, Smart and probably others but with KitKat on my phone I prefer GEL (aka GNL), with Xposed and the GEL settings module. I won't get into a debate about what launcher is better, because they are all equally great.

Ti Backup menu button

Has anyone else noticed that the menu button doesn't work in Titanium backup, in any builds after May 20th?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Hadn't noticed that, until you mentioned it. Just tried on the latest nightly. Will have to try other apps now. This may be a titanium backup issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sfleury:
It would be nice to blame the app, except that it works with the May 20th build, but not any build since then.

There is a work around though. Go to Settings->Buttons and set the Long press action for the menu button to open/close menu.

After that long pressing the menu button while in Ti Backup opens the menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YrrchSebor:
Sorry for the quick question, but my friend says battery life isn't too good on the latest stable release, maybe worse than stock. Is there perhaps a kernel for that build that might help?

Issues with video calls (Hangouts and Skype)

Before I wipe the phone and start from scratch, I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with doing video calls in CM11. My phone can't start a video call in Hangouts and both Skype and Hangouts fail to ever hang up on the call. In order to get the ongoing call status to disappear, I have to reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Latest nightlies are 4.4.3! That was fast. I only put stock 4.4.3 on my n7 a couple of days ago.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Don't know anything video call issues, but the latest nightly seems to get a lot of fcs in themes provider.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlueZinc:
Updated via the CM autoflash to CyanogenMod11 6-22-2014 nightly release.

Now the camera will not work.

I installed the latest PA Gapps for 4.4.4 and wiped the Dalvik Cache and it did not fix the issue.

The Google Camera APK works fine as does the Gallery app.

Any ideas besides a wipe and starting over?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skiboardty:
Try popping off the back cover, ejecting the micro SD card, and then reinserting it. Before you do, kill the camera app. I've noticed a similar problem flashing some of the nightlies but wasn't sure if it was hardware related or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlueZinc:
No luck.

The camera forces closes with or without the microSD card in. Did not have this problem in the earlier version of 4.4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skiboardty:
I assume you've tried rebooting the device with the SD ejected? I can replicate the problem I have by removing my SD card, then launching the camera app - every time I get the attached error. Sometimes I need to reboot with the card removed in order to clear the issue, other times it will work when I insert the card and try again. Worth a shot if you haven't tried already...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlueZinc:
I will try it again. I basically said screw it at this point and ordered a Nexus 5.

Damn, this thread has really slowed down. Are there still problems with freezing in the latest nightlies? I haven't used any nightlies since May and reverted back to a backup I had from February. By the looks of it, I'll be switching to another ROM until I can get a new phone.

Issues with Bluetooth

I've been running nightlies of this ROM for the past month, and have had great success with everything with them.

The one issue I've had in the last couple weeks (might be coincidental due to actual usage) is with bluetooth: I've got a small portable bluetooth speaker (Rugged Rukus if it matters), and a Honda minivan. If I connect to the speaker, music and notifications play through it no problem. If I disconnect from the speaker and then connect to the minivan, usually the Bluetooth on the device connects for a short period before turning off the bluetooth radio. If I try to turn the radio back on, it fails to actually turn back on, and just loops back to "Off" in the settings menu. The only way to fix this issue is to reboot the phone, which may or may not allow the device to connect to the van's system.

I can connect to the bluetooth speaker after disconnecting from it and play music with no problems, so it seems to be an issue with switching between bluetooth devices.

Has anyone else run into any bluetooth connectivity issues with this device? I'm running the latest TELUS radio files (TLMC4) and connecting to the TELUS network if it matters.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Bluetooth hasn't worked correctly since 4.1.2, though Kitkat has the most functional Bluetooth since then.

This is my moms phone i want to make it as simple as ever, im sure majority of the people would understand why lol

Edit: i was exploring i found out the 3 dots in-front of the widget when you press the or hold on the wallpaper it resolved all my issues lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
It seems that the last few nightly builds have issues with Bluetooth. I have stereo Bluetooth headphones, and when I pair them with my phone, they work for a while and then Bluetooth crashes and won't turn back on until I reboot.

I see bt issues in the op for the blaze. I don't know if this is specific to stereo audio or not, so I'll try my old mono headset and see how it fares. One way or another, a logcat will get posted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Classic, the crash didn't happen yet. Got a "process Com.android.bluetooth has stopped" message after I rebooted, but that was a little too early for me to catch with adb.

New to T989

Hello,

I am transitioning from a Galaxy Exhibit (where I have been running an unofficial CM11) to a T989 that I just bought on ebay. My daughter has had a T989 running CM 10.2 Snapshot build.

My question is, why are there only nightly version available for CM11 for this device? Is the development not far enough along to issue a "M" build? I did try and search the thread, but couldn't find an answer for this. When would a M or snapshot (same thing?) build be anticipated?

Thank you so much. Please do not construe my questions as criticism. I am genuinely curious.

Looking forward to trying CM11 on this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
Not sure why it is not m yet. But the 4.4.4 Roms are very mature at this point. CM is great, if you want some more options, give frosted carbon audio a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Anyone else tried to use the Brookstone "StickNFind" app? When trying to use it to pair with and then find the togs, I pretty regularly crash Bluetooth. The "Please restart" toast comes up and the Bluetooth icon in the notification bar usually disappears.

Pretty sure this is handset specific because my nexus 7 doesn't act this way, even on the same nightly build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wrusry:
Thank you. CM's language is a bit confusing with M, stable, release candidate, etc. I see that there is an "experimental" build of CM11. From a CM blog post I see "“These builds (experimental) should be stable enough for daily use, and we encourage feedback and bug reports.” It’s important to note that these builds are tagged as “experimental” and that you still might run into some bugs, but not as much as a nightly.

So, perhaps I will start out with the experimental, even though it was dated February 16.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
Use the latest nightly. Anything around the July.

I just bought my s2 used and installed CM11 20140804 and I experienced this lag issue when trying to answer a call (missed the call). It also seems to sometimes not respond when I am waking the phone up with the power button. I have to do it twice or 3 times. Not always, just occasionally. But missing a call isn't good.

Thank you for bringing up this issue, so that I could see other people's solution to this.

Perhaps it will be fixed if CM ever makes a M version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Well, we have a new nightly as of yesterday... And it's not pretty. Key functions seem MUCH slower. I saw some performance degradation in my Nexus 7, so I know it's not exactly TC's fault, but on my S2, it's horrible. It seemed OK at first, but over the course of the day, things get slower and slower. I rebooted the phone (hard kill with power switch) and the phone is back to life (though it redownloaded at least one previous app update from this morning).

would a logcat tell us anything?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
And as a small aside, the current N7 nightly doesn't have the stock browser stall that the S2 one does.

EDIT: the 08/04 nightly build doesn't have the stock browser stall. Just backed down and things are somewhat better in that area.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Well, the most recent nightly seems to not have the weird stock browser stall.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charwinger21:
Really?

For me, everything past the 4th has a ton of lag (e.g. Hangouts takes 10+ seconds to open, and I almost can't answer the phone in time) and GPS does not work.

I may have to do a clean flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
I had serious lag on a clean flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Mine comes and goes. The only thing that seems consistently improved is the Web rendering. It doesn't completely stall like it used to do. I do deal with intermittent epic lag, like:

- 30+ seconds to get the keyboard to appear after selecting a text area.

- sometimes cannot answer the phone. (the screen usually sites blank for up to 15 seconds while the phone rings, this is something more like 30-45 seconds or more)

- unlock lag where the buttons light up when I press the power or volume buttons, but the screen doesn't. It takes 2-3 unlock attempts to get the screen to display. Or a forced reboot.

- App startup time is either snappy or awful. Doesn't seem to be much middle ground for me.

The unlock lag is also present on my N7 (2012) running cm11, and some - but not all - of the lag is there too.

are the recent builds stable and lag free like it used to be 2 months ago ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Sadly i think the support for this phone is all but dead.

Most people will be on 3+ years on these phones soon. Been a great phone but i suspect most people are onto better things by now.

Riddle me this, Batman!

After dealing with the near epic lag on CM11, I decided to broaden my horizons and try the latest Paranoid Android...

Lag? Not so far, but we'll see.

Hey! I have USB Mass Storage back!

So here's the "riddle me this" Question: Why can PA do this and CM not?

The biggest problem with PA vs CM is that it's "almost" identical, and that almost can be pretty jarring at times. Like "Where do I set up my notification bar tiles?" "Can I replace the battery icon?" etc.

I know that this isn't the latest and greated phone, but heck, there are still devs supporting my old phone (an HTC T-Mobile G2) who respond to the ROM thread...

Anyone from TeamChopsticks still reading this? Is this ROM AbandonWare?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Has anyone gotten lag with this? not with the nightly but the stable/snapshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Last I looked, there wasn't a snapshot. That being said, the 8/4 nightly was the last one without serious lag issues. Interestingly, the 8/4 Nexus 7 snapshot was the last really smooth one as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I don't know if CM guys are watching this thread or not anymore. ... But posts like yours certainly won't inspire them to say or do anything.

Comparing roms in rom threads is a big no no on XDA and considered disrespectful to the devs who do all this for free and share with us lucky users.

They owe us nothing and posts like yours only discourage them from continuing, especially on a three year old device. ?

Just something to consider. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rockzx:
interactive governor after 08/04 is causing the lag, you have to use other governor or flash another kernel to avoid lag.. conservative is working fine, but it have to be fixed at boot because when you change governor, kernel always crash and reboot the phone..

I started with a full wipe using CWM from page 1. Went thru CM and Google dialogs for logon and set up WiFi. It starts loading my apps from Play. I took a shower. An hour later it finished loading apps. I moved a few biggies to sdcard and rebooted. They were gone.

How do you add new pages to the launcher? Which Launcher is best?

Sure would be nice to get a CWM that understands Encryption of /data as my work requires me to do a full device encryption.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
Guys a few things to note about the alpha builds. We got this out really fast, so ...

Many of the CM features are NOT merged into the code yet.

No launcher work has really been done yet, google fundamentally changed how that works so either use a 3rd party launcher or the Google Home launcher for now if you need additional functionality.

You can add new screens by dragging an icon to the right side of the screen and it will add a new one.

See point #1 ... there is still a ton of work to do. So at this point we are really interested in significant crashes or failures of the system overall. Please provide logcats and last kmsg files when reporting major problems.

Beyond that, have fun and enjoy. Most major things are working, but this is certainly not a good daily driver yet.

Well, next chance I get, I'll be trying the more recent cm11 nightlies.
