AWESOME!!! I'll hold off on flashing until a couple more updates because I actually use my Epic as a dedicated music player and other people use it, so it has to be totally reliable... but how is the performance boost? I'd imagine much of the boost is actually from the kernel, but am I wrong in assuming that? Or is this actually running something past 3.0? Seriously though thanks man, you are amazing. Any way for me to PayPal you or something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
Can someone explain what's the deal with Launcher and Launcher3? I am making a wild guess that Launcher is Google and Launcher3 is Cyanogenmod a la Trebuchet? Does it makes a difference which one I use?

As other have mentioned, I am also getting the black screen over the Browser and worse than that, any app that uses Browser's guts to render something as a web page. Same with the Parse error for apk's. However you can install them from the Terminal Emulator using su then pm install myapp.apk.

It seems to not like the ART runtime very much. Overall though, it seems noticeably snappier than 10.1. I am totally stunned how quickly came out, and how well the first build works. Amazing job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
What boost? I only noticed a noticeable speed decrease (particularly in UI - scrolling and expanding items feel laggy).

What Gapps did you use? Every time I flashed some all the apps force closed or it just gave my rom a black screen and I had to reflash.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Since every Gapps I flash seems to mess this rom up I'm trying to just install the basic launcher, google now, and the new keyboard but there is a parsing problem with any apk file. Help to fix or anybody know why?

Thanks!

What is cydia.saurik.com doing in this CM 11.0 Build?

Downloaded and installed this Preview 11.0 Build on my Epic. Had to install the gapps the second time in order to work. Phone appears to work fine so far in Wifi. Google Play Store works. However, when I open Google Settings and select Connected apps, I noticed 'cydia.saurik.com" is listed as a connected apps. This is strange. Don't see that when it was running CM10.2. I did not install any apps except the gapps packages from post #3. Anyone knows what this cydia.saurik.com app is?

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

CM 11.0 does not seem to include setting menus for Status Bar and Notification Drawer. In CM10.2, they were under Settings->System.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
I used the ones bbelos linked to in post #3 of this thread (http://d-h.st/MI8). I flashed them right after I flashed the ROM, then booted it up. The gapps were a little quirky, as in I could see some of them but I couldn't add a google account, so I rebooted to recovery and flashed them a second time and everything was fine. My guess is that some kind of initialization happens on the first boot that needs to run before gapps will install correctly, but that's just wild speculation.

ALSO, I had weird behavior and force close problems when I switched to ART. Dalvik works fine. Maybe that could be your issue with the force closing?

You can install an apk manually from terminal emulator. Run su first, then pm install your-totally-legit-app.apk from whatever directory you have it in. I used file manager to move and rename all mine to something easy to type because I couldn't figure out how to tab-complete and I'm lazy. xD

any reason to expect a different result coming from 10.1?

[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
I came from cm-10.1.2 (my best choice for daily use), no problem occurred when installing this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
here's some buggers..

the stock browser has serious flickering issues and chrome has a mild case the same

also idk this is due to a setting but while I'm typing this the text is HUGE
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
For the Browser issue, I've had best success working around it with Firefox. It's actually really snappy, seemed much more responsive than Chrome. And you can move some of it to the SD card.

Which brings me to this issue: whenever I reboot, all the apps I had installed on the SD card (using the native "Move to SD card" feature) are wiped out. I have a normal FAT32 formatted SD card with no symlink trickery. None of my other data appears to be missing. Just the apps.

Can you explain that further? How is D a year? I'm confused now.

D = 4 (the 4th Android year, starting from 2007), I = 9, DI18 means the firmware is cooked on 2010.09.18.

Why is it that when I install a new rom and restore data or installa nightly without wiping data. Most of the apps stop giving notifications when they are supposed to??
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
Could you be alot more specific?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I used to get notifications from Facebook, ask.fm, and a few other apps. But then I updated my rom and restored a backup from Titanium. I stopped getting notifications from both, I installed an app called slk notifications for facebook so I can get the notifications from facebook. It worked but I updated the rom again and now I don't get notifications from that either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Have you tried to clear data in the app to see if the issue is the rom, the dirty flash, or the restore process? If you clear data, you will have to set your app preferences again, but you can at least see if the notifications will come again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
oh hai guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I cleared the data for ask.fm and facebook, I'm getting notifications for ask.fm again, but I haven't received anything on my facebook account so I can't confirm its working for that. So is there a way to fix this without clearing data?

Also, when I try to install the latest version of Talkatone and Tapatalk, it gives me an error saying "insufficient storage available" even though that is not true. I can install any other app but I can't install these two apps. Why not? I'm on the january 13th nightly.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
[MENTION=5562721]epicboy[/MENTION], when doing a dirty upgrade, there is no guarantee that the data will be preserved. This is one of the risks you take. Personally, i clean install nightlies for this reason. I just did the 0125 nightly this morning and let google reinstall and update all apps. After that, i moved everything to SD and reboot. Finally used TB to restore just a handful of just the app data-only like bookmarks and calendar entries...then merge rom updates (although it didnt like play store merge today). If it is something like FB, hell...thats just my logon that needs to be entered. NBD. All apps are clean and notifications work.

On the space issue, just because you have 50MB free and are trying to install a 10MB app, that doesnt mean you have space. Apps expand from the download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I found out the problem with the insufficient storage bug. You must go to data/app-lib and delete the folders of the apps that are saying insufficient storage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
My phone is currently off (had to put the money toward a more important bill), so even without data, I'm only getting 4 hours total of battery usage. So while I have my phone off, I'm going to try this ROM and make the jump. I'm currently downloading the latest nightly (cm-11-20140125-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip) to my PC, and when its done I'll move it to my phone (I put the SD card into a USB SD card reader when I have to transfer big files).

Two things

1) what is the best gapp to use? Someone mentioned they are using 2014 KK gapps?

2) I have only ever used CWM to wipe things and flash roms. So I have no idea whatsoever how to, I guess, create a restoration point if I somehow bork my phone. I guess I'm using the wrong verbiage when I Google search. Can someone tell me how to do this or at least point me in the direction that explains this? Otherwise, normally what I do is wipe, flash, and hope for the best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I used the gapps found in the cm wiki for cm11 today and they worked just fine except when trying to merge the update of the playstore into the rom using TB once everything was up. Borked so i had to do again and will live with the update taking up room. Everything else worked fine so far. I have used the 2014kk before.

What i do in cwm is to format data, system, and cache in the mount options...then wipe dalvik in advanced...although some people say thats not required. It has always produced a clean install for me. Maybe its extra but it only takes seconds to do.

Todays upgrade was totally hands off after that. If it only remembered which apps were installed to sd and reinstall accordingly, that would be sweet. Got over 100MB leftover once everything was moved to sd, so no complaints.

Before flashing cm, i do remove some apps, languages, and ring tones i dont want in the zip which does free some space.

Bluetooth?

Any insight on bluetooth working on these nightlies?

With the didhiy kernel it says it turns on, but then crashes out after a few seconds and will not make a connection let alone hold one.

I think on the default CM kernel I had it connect for a little while before dumping out (that was on some older nightly).

Is everyone having problems with BT or just me?

Should bluetooth be solved soon? Do the devs know about the issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I'm on the nightly for the 25th, used the gapps dated 20131113. Um...I like it. Seems faster. However it takes up more internal space. And of course bluetooth is non existent. Ironically bluetooth sorta worked on 10.1.3. I couldn't send anything but I could receive anything. Now I can only pair, no sending nor receiving. ShootMe, a screencapture ap I've been using since Gingerbread, it will work, but it will force close after taking one picture.

Launcher3 reminds me a lot of the launcher from Gingerbread. And its better than the stock launcher (simply titled Launcher). Trebuchet launcher works just fine (I save an apk of it on my SD Card), I just don't have room for it with the other apps I reinstalled with TA.

My question is, what can I delete from internal storage without borking my phone? There seems to be a lot of google services that I don't use. I mean I'll use Google Hangouts when Google merges Google Voice into it, but that's going to be in May. Can I get rid of GoogleEars.apk, GoogleHome.apk? WhisperPush? Or the ones circled in the pic?

All things considered, I like it. Works on wifi, not sure about data since my phone is off, but I went ahead and flashed the alternate carrier fix just to be on the safe side.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbellot:
I'm using the default kernel (and build) from bbelos's latest unofficial (to get MMS working) and bluetooth has been OK for me with my car unit.

The only thing that's off is I'm getting a notification on the phone that it's attached to the radio with "message access" (MAP), but that part doesn't work. Audio (calls) work fine.

This has actually been the behavior since I started running KK.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

I delete a bunch of stuff and haven't noticed any ill effects.

WhisperPush

VideoEditor

VoicePlus

CMWallPapers (it's almost 12M of wallpapers!!!)

Term (I use ConnectBot)

From Gapps I removed

Hangouts
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Bluetooth: I am on the Jan 25 nightly, and have no issues with my older Motorola H720 headset for voice only. Dont use BT for anything else.

Gapps: I am using the Jan 5 CM11 GoogleApps from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps and have not had ANY issues so far (2 days on it).

Storage: I have deleted Hangouts and Launcher without issue. My only concern in the screenshot would be the download manager. Brian will have to answer this.

Screenshot: Is built into CM11 so you can get rid of ShootMe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lattiboy:
Havne't used the Epic in a year and a half!

EDIT: Okay, had to run the installer twice. Once again after failed install. CM11 working now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Oh I always delete CMWallpapers. Never use them. I prefer to use my own photos for wallpapers.

I also always delete VideoEditor. I have a copy of it saved on my SD Card, never know when it'll come in handy.

I deleted WhisperPush. Haven't deleted the others from your list yet.

"From Gapps"? I just removed it via Titanium Backup.

I'm using an older gapps. If I want to flash a newer gapps, can I dirty flash it, or would have to wipe everything and start from scratch, flashing both the nightly AND the newer gapps?

Though everything seems to be working fine. Just wondering, in case someone from CM says I need a newer gapps.

Ah ok. Took some searching but its hold volume down and power simultaneously. I wish there was a way to route it to one of the bottom keys. I have nothing assigned to the search key, so it would be cool if I could make that its new function.

Also, this is to anyone who would know the answer to this: Google+ and G+Photos are safe to delete? The former takes up almost 18mb of space in /system/app. If I can get rid of that I think I can reinstall Trebuchet without issue. Honestly the only thing I want Google related is Gmail2.apk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Go to Settings-Buttons-Power menu and turn on Screenshots. After that you can long press POWER key to bring up the Screenshot option.

And yes, you can have G+ removed if you don't use it... But I think it would be better to extract the gapps, pick out the few apps you want and repackage it into your ROM, instead of installing the full gapps and trimming it afterwards.

Ha! Thanks a bunch! Now I can finally delete ShootMe. :good:

:eek: I have no idea how to do that. If I had to guess, open the winrar and delete from there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Yes...or 7zip works too. Work on a backup just in case. File name doesnt matter.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I think it's safe to simply add/delete APKs inside WinRAR, but for safety concerns I always extract, modify, repackage and re-sign, that way everything goes definitely right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caspboy:
correct gapps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Still wondering about dirty flashing gapps. :confused:

Otherwise, I'm very impressed with this ROM. No major issues. Well, bluetooth, but I only use bluetooth to transfer songs from PC to phone, and its quicker to just connect via USB anyway. Seems stable, battery life is WAY BETTER. Thanks CM Team! :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
I had no probs modifying from within 7zip as every delete saved the zip as it deleted. I did this on the rom and gapps. What do you mean by re-signing?

EDIT: nvm. Fwiw, I did not resign so either 7zip has this built in or cwm did not care.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
True, looks like CWM/TWRP has the option to skip signature verification, which is turned on by default, hence you're getting no problem even if you don't re-sign.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Dont think you are ever gonna get a solid answer on that Mike as each rom version MAY change something in storage. YMMV.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I'm familiar with 7zip, so next time I'll use that. No idea with "signing" is, so good to know its turned off by default in CWM. And since I can't(?) dirty flash a gapp, I'm not going to mess with it and just continue to use the gapps I have at the moment. If I use a new gapp I'll do a clean install (full wipe), though I'm leaning toward waiting till I get Titanium Backup Pro. Reinstalling all my apps is a pain. :rolleyes:

In any case...still satisfied with the battery life and stability. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Totally agree on the pain aspect, but when I clean installed the Jan 25 nightly from a previous CM11 nightly, the Google auto-restore

only

put the applications that were previously installed on my phone...instead of what was linked to my account in the Play Store which has apps I dont usually run or have installed.

Literally, the only thing I had to do was to let Google do its thing, move all eligible apps to SD, do just a

few

'data only' restores from TBU, call logs, mms, and finally merge into the ROM to gain space.

I cant begin to describe how nice this was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jcruz767:
Is mms working on any of the builds?

MMS is working for me on Boost Mobile with the 0121 UNOFFICIAL build bbelos posted.

I did notice one odd thing, for some reason my APN selection got unselected, so MMS stopped working until I reselected it.

I'm hoping the patch gets merged soon, I'd like to get back to nightly builds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
In the nightly changelog it said added trebuchet again. Does that mean its back instead of launcher3 for the epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I think that only means Launcher3 gets enough customization options to be worthy of renamed into Trebuchet. Jelly Bean's Trebuchet will never come back.

So I have the Nightly for the 31st now. So far so good.

Ok, so in the quest for more app space I have been using Link2SD and I found a thread to use L2SD with foldermount. Has anyone successfully done this on the latest CM11 nightly?

Thanks

Sno
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Settings only brings up regular settings, not any sort of customization for Trebuchet itself. Though long pressing it on desktop gives you the option to set the default screen and scroll effect for Trebuchet. Cube out is back, just minus the lines. :(

Seems if I want to use the older, 12mb Trebuchet, I'll have to do a clean install each and everytime I flash a newer nightly. I thought flashing the newer nightly would simply overwrite the 12mb file. Not so. *shrugs*
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Wow, I don't know that (still using an older nightly without built-in Trebuchet - do you mean that Trebuchet is already in the latest nightlies?), the behaviour I talked about is of Launcher3's.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Yeah Launcher3 is gone. So is the other one (I forget what its called). Its just Trebuchet again. But there's no setting in Settings or otherwise to customize anything, just to change the default screen and the transition effect. Well, and to add widgets, but I never add widgets.

I was on the nightly for the 25th for a while, so when I finally flashed the 31st nightly (on the 31st), the newer Trebuchet was there. So I don't know if the two launchers were removed and replaced with "mini" Trebuchet on the 31st or sometime between the 26th and the 31st.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I'm on the February 1st nightly and it's just as AndyYan said, you can customize rows, columns, default screen, and other little things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Haven't checked out the latest nightly's yet but is Google Now included in Trebuchet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I'm on the February 2nd nightly and...its just as I said. So, think you could maybe put a screen shot if this is the case?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
So this functionality was added then taken away on subsequent releases? If you're on the Nightly from the 1st and you have it, and I'm on the Nightly for the 2nd and I don't...
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicboy:
I don't think they would do such a thing. But what you should do is install another launcher and try to see if you get the settings for Trebuchet.
