taktiK 4.4 - Beta4 Available

Kevin,

I reinstalled the ROM at home after a full 4ext wipe and I was able to connect to my home Wi-Fi.

When I flashed the ROM earlier today I was away from available Wi-Fi and I was forced to skip Wi-Fi step during setup. My phone's Wi-Fi didn't like that at all and it gave me the cold shoulder after that (Temporamental old girl! My goodness, "It's Alive!").

After doing a reinstall at home and connecting to Wi-Fi during setup, I had no problem connecting to Wi-Fi.

I recommend anyone else flashing this ROM to do so with Wi-Fi available and not skip the step during setup.

You're doing a great job. Thanks heaps!

Regards,

Carlo

edit:

I lost Wi-Fi again, and fixed it again with reinstall, etc.

The common thing on both occasions was that I used Mybackup Pro on both occasions to reinstall my Apps from a previous taktiK beta. I think now that this was the problem. There was something in that process that broke my Wi-Fi.

This last time, I didn't use Mybackup Pro and I manually installed every App...took ages but it didn't break my Wi-Fi.

Hi,

I have a question about using sd-ext.

I have an sd-ext on my SD : 2 Gig

I see when I install an application a little notification with : 3.4Gig left....

But when I go to the application setting, I see only the 1Gig.

Normal? Is there something to do?

Been running this for about an hour or so, aside from the mentioned bugs, I've noticed that multitasking previews are garbled/not producing a preview but aside from that and the mentioned bugs, its been fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] evronetwork:
First impressions:

Boot animation reminded me the old android in a tablet I had (I like it :P)

Asking for pin number has some problems, none of the numbers appear correctly(it can be fixed if you change the dpi but hey, it should be fine without any mod). The android.process.media crashes(as many time as it can :P) but that's a known bug.

When you slide your finger from top to buttom the window that drops down goes very choppy, same applies when you do the opposite thing(so it's not even close to smooth)

With menu softkey and settings you were going to the actual settings not google settings(I prefer the old way). Although it feel snappy sometimes it's choppy when rolling the settings(for half second or less :))

if the calls(cannot set a ringtone, default is none) and sms were working and the android.process.media didn't pop up like every second, I could use it for a few days to play around.

P.S. The above are notation on what I've seen, you don't have to agree or disagree with me, I just wanted to tell you what I saw :cool:

EDIT: Calling a person works fine, answering the phone is fine but the answer-delay-bug is still there so I believe it's kernel related (in case you don't know about this, when you answer the phone there's a delay..so for 1-2 seconds the other party can't hear you ..sure you can say "f_\/-Ck" to your boss when you answer the phone and continue to talk normal(he won't even notice it) but this is present since android 4.0 in our dhd if I remember right(in the past there was the led-charging-delay and when you was charging the phone the led didn't turn off even if you took of the plug but this is fixed, now only the answer-delay-bug is present)

To the testers - does taktiK feel more responsive than JellyTime (4.2)? I heard 4.4 reduces memory usage, that sounds like a very positive thing for DHDs tiny 768MB RAM.

Mobile data connects fine but not browsing.

WiFi connects fine but not browsing.

sometimes sound lags (volume goes up at its peak, and them comes to normal) i experienced this when i was using a headphone.

ringtone was not working until i received a couple of calls.

lock screen shows a robotic android icon over; when you're trying to unlock your phone (i managed to get a screenshot below).

BETA 4 Experience

Thank you RB for your dedicated and excellent work. Installed TaktiK Beta 4 and like it very much, but as I need a fully working DHD for work I have had to go back to the excellent R11 for the time being, because of the black boxes in emails. Hope this does get resolved some time.

Are black box a problem on any latest phones released with 4.4 on board? I could not follow RB's comment that the black boxes were a bug in a generally used part of the rom.

I tried now to reflash radio. These were my results: (NB "Wi-Fi broken" = can't turn Wi-Fi on at all)

1) 1st time, flashed radio, rebooted phone. Unlocked sim and unlocked screen. Phone randomly rebooted about 10 seconds later. Wi-Fi broken.

2) 2nd time, flashed radio, rebooted. Unlocked my sim but didn't unlock my screen. I turned the phone off (NB not shutdown). It randomly rebooted within around 10 seconds. Wi-Fi broken.

3) 3rd time, flashed radio. Pulled battery out. Put battery in. Restarted phone. Unlocked Sim. Unlocked Screen. Wi-Fi working for about half a minute to a minute. Then the phone randomly rebooted. Unlocked sim and screen. Wi-Fi was broken again.

Next step. I will download Beta 4 and Gapps, full wipe and reinstall. Then I will manually reboot and see if the problem happens again.

Clean install with fresh downloads of taktiK beta 4 and PA GAPPS. So far no issues with breaking Wi-Fi after rebooting.

I'm now going to proceed with app installs to see if it is any particular app causing the problem.

The fact that this doesn't seem to be happening to anyone else suggests to me that it is a problem with one particular app I download and not with RB's Rom.

If I can't replicate the problem at all, then knowing my luck, I probably had a corrupted file I was flashing.
