Anybody else getting constant fc on android.process.media? I've downloaded 3 times,formatted SD card, wiped cache and dalvik, factory reset, repaired permissions... still getting constant fc on latest 4.4.1 build. Is it just me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
I can confirm the media and SD card related fcs on the new build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Can you 2 get me a logcat from initial boot?

Or, if you are already back to the previous build, the name of the file at /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external-XXXXXXXX.db (the XX's being the key here).

EDIT: Have a feeling I know what the problem is, just want to confirm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I had force closes too. I used pawits vendor/cm commit , your sepolicy commit , and the normal data commits.

I flashed the rom and gapps and clean wiped about 4 times it still force closed.

I wiped system , data ... flashed rom then booted it. Then I rebooted back to recovery flashed gapps. Booted up still force closing went back to recovery and wiped data again I had already wiped my sdcard. Seems data is the issue after it's installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I believe the fix is here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55512/

The issue is the UUID, if the number is too high, it can't fully process it. And it all depends on the sdcard, since everyone has different numbers. Mine is only 36A3-C20D, so I wasn't affected.

** I have just added a new build to the OP that includes that patch which should resolve the issue some of you are having (if that is indeed your issue).
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
I see you've already got a new build up, but here is a logcat anyway.

I'll test the new build as soon as I can (at work right now).
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Thanks, that confirms it. Your UUID is E03A-414B, which is larger than the limit of 7FFF-FFFF (they are just hex numbers).
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Thank you Brian. No more FC's on 12/11/13 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] octantcomp:
Thanks

Thank you for this. I came from carbon rom, flash it without problem. The camera button not working but it doesn't matter. But i don't get the transparent status bar (no ro.config low_ram in build prop, i create it but no change). And in setting there is no development menu (for usb debugging so i use usb debugging app from playstore). Battery & ram much better than carbon (usually i play kairosoft games with gosms then the game restart, now i even can play brotherhood of violence during sms without the game restart). I use link2sd (sdext2) to extend more internal memory. It will better if the transparent status bar works.

Sorry for my bad english, thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Phenomenal work bbelos, I will once again be reselling my phone upgrade come May and holding onto my Epic for a few more years thanks to you:)

I believe you have to tap "About Phone" 3 times to bring up the development option in CyanogenMod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
My statusbar is transparent, so not sure what's wrong with yours. Developer settings is hidden by default, you have to to About phone and tap on "Build number" a bunch of times to enable it. My camera button works in the camera app, but the feature that allows the camera button to launch the app has not been implemented yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Is it still transparent in lockscreen? It's supposed to be, as seen on other devices' CM11 builds, but last I checked in our 4.4 build, lockscreen transparency isn't there. Home screen does have transparency though.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] octantcomp:
Yes developer setting enabled now thank you.. The camera button doesn't matter to me. Transparent statusbar works when in lockscreen, but not when in homescreen (btw i use apex launcher pro). *edit : transparent statusbar works with launcher or launcher 3. So the problem maybe in apex launcher, but it works well in carbon. maybe i have to change to another launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Oh, that's probably why. I believe the transparent statusbar is app specific.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Gah, updated to 20131211 build and Media FCs. What the hell... [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] you said it's solved, right? I'll try a clean flash and see what happens...

EDIT: Forgot to reboot after applying framework mod... Now it runs fine. Lockscreen transparency is also restored, so I have a perfect build in my hands. Bravo, [MENTION=4000778]bbelos[/MENTION] :thumbup:

[Epic 4G Android Development] octantcomp:
ok

So i change to holo launcher and add kitkat experience icon, add holo glass theme to theme chooser, now almost everything transparent (statusbar, setting, popup menu, etc and some app). It's perfect now. Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jabbajac:
Wow, I had no idea that CM11 was out much less so far developed. I'm always amazed at how fast the rom dev is.

So I have a few questions, I'm on a stock jelly bean rom and want to switch to CM11. How's the performance on CM11? I've had issues with the stock ROM being too slow and laggy in some cases. Also how stable is the ROM? I don't have any other phones so this will be my daily driver if I switch. Any recommended tips to which build I should use for the most stable with the most features?

Thanks for taking the time to answer!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
I use it as my dd. Its stable. Good performance. Use latest build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Yea the fact that Bluetooth works wonderfully compared to 10.1 and 3G constantly stays connected compared to 10.2 makes this the most complete of the bunch.

I have to say that my phone also seems a lot more snappy compared to previous releases.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jabbajac:
Thanks guys for the quick reply. I'll be putting it on my phone tonight! One more question, which modem should I be using? I think I have a jelly bean modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
Thank you very much for this awesome build.

Installed cm-11-20131210-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd.zip (First 4.4.1 build) today. Switched to ART Runtime.

Gapps: gapps-kk-20131119.zip

All seems fine. But I have little problem.

I used Alternate Carrier Fix for CM10.2 when I was on Dalvik Runtime. It worked fine.

Then i reinstalled CM11 and switched to ART then installed Alternate Carrier Fix for CM10.2 but it didnt worked.

Any solutions?

Modem: FC09

Edit: I think the reason behind is lack of Root in ART runtime
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
ART is experimental. If things break, switch back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
Yup, back to Dalvik now. Trying to uninstall things which I dont need in the rom. accidentally i uninstalled the launcher ::p

There is no way to get into apps menu without having a launcher?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Make sure you're in the right forum. We don't have a stock jelly bean ROM or modem (don't even have ics).
[Epic 4G Android Development] jabbajac:
Actually there is a stock jelly bean ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2212584) for the epic4g touch, as well as JB Modems (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764210). I had gone back to stock on a JB modem a while ago, back then cm10 was working on experimental support for JB modems. I'll have to dig through the cm10 forums to see if they've gotten anywhere with it. Anyway, bbelos, thanks for the cm11!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Sesquipedalian:
I'm running 12/11 as my daily driver, and I'm very pleased. Amazing work!

Bluetooth seems to be a lot more stable than 10.1 for me.

Has anyone found a gapps other than the kk-20131119 that works without issues? That one is kinda bloated. I have to clear out some space in the system partition just to get AdAway to symlink hosts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:

To flash, or not to flash?

I'm using CM 10.1 (custom build with capacitive button backlight controls) as my DD, and aside from minor gripes (occasional crashes, not enough system space to update Google search, etc.,) I'm happy as a clam with it. Does the current build of CM 11 have enough life-changing ZOMG FEATURZ that it would be worth my time and effort to retweak all my apps and crap, or should I leave well-enough alone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
Is BLE working in the latest build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
I don't know about your tweak, seems you feel comfort with all the trouble from that ;) so, I guess install cm-11 won't hurt you that much

if wimax not on top of your required list, the latest build is stable enough for daily driver

here's noticeable bad thing I've remember:

- black screen on panorama mode

- incognito mode not supported in stock browser

- can't downgrade easily to cm-10.1 without Odin

others than that, I love to explore all new features in this rom :thumbup:
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
Does our phone even have the hardware necessary to fully utilize that feature?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I think I've claimed countless times that you don't actually need Odin if you want to revert to an older MTD layout, just clean flash that old ROM and everything will be okay.

If I'm wrong, please point out with proof (I'd love to see some) :cool:

Hi yall. I'm trying to remove the keyboard and launchers that come installed on this ROM by default so I can install the ones of my choice. Can anyone tell me the name of the apk files for the keyboard and the launchers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
Depends what you mean by "fully". The original capability broke after CM10 when google changed to a new bluetooth stack w/o BLE. I am hoping it will come back w/ Kitkat.

I am talking about BT for Heart rate monitors, etc. Worked in stock Eclair, stock GB, clean BG and CM10.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
So if I decide I don't care for CM11 in its present form, I COULD clean-flash the CM 10.1 ROM to fix whatever partition shenanigans CM11 puts in place, then do a restore from the CWM full backup I plan to make? Seems too easy... :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
BLE was only introduced in JB 4.3 meaning CM 10.2 was the first version of Cyanogen to support it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] labumm:
I doubt that. But that is not my point. So I am not going to argue.

Facts are My HRM works in CM10 and not in CM10.1 or early builds of CM10.2. I am hoping it will in CM11. Was hoping someone has tested.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
CM 10.1 had bluetooth connection issues, I was not able to connect my phone to my car for more than a few minutes. 10.2 fixed this issue for me but I still had problems with 3G signals. CM 11 fixes both of these issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
That's what I've done and zero issues for me.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Nexus @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
zero issue for me too in other build than the latest build on op :) with selinux enforced in recovery (cwm 6.0.4.5), you'll got trouble to downgrade

flash stock cm-10.1.2 will failed. from cwm 6.0.4

5 (maybe works if assert check removed)

in i9000 cm-11 thread, must flash cm-10.2 before downgrade to others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Half noob questions...how are the patches from post #3 applied, and what is the preferred way to report a bug?

While a LOT is right with the 12/11 build, and I am very impressed over 10.1.3.1, there a few gotchas that no one has mentioned in this thread. BTW, bluetooth is awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Anyone able to help out with the name of the two .apk files which are for the launchers? I'm tight on space and just want to keep one of my choice.

Also, what other kernels are compatible with this awesome ROM? I want to experiment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
Launcher 3 and LatinIME

Look for the launcher in the new priv-app directory.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
The patches are only necessary if you are compiling your own version from the source. They are otherwise already included in the build.

Preferred method for bug reporting is posting here for now, what are your "gotchas"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Gotchas...part 1

1. Cosmetic, while i have transparency of the notification bar, it uses all white for the foreground and gradient black for background. Previously, you could tell when you were connected to goo services via wifi by it being blue. Now everything is white.

2. Bookmarks widget will regularly lose their thumbnails and become inoperative. Will recover with removing and setting widget again.

3. Cannot bookmark to home using stock browser in either launcher

4. Some apps will show installed from play store but not in app drawer or home or app settings. Tried reinstall but no joy. Even tried restoring from tbu. Example is 'simple calculator' by techno...something. If the app isnt compat w os, it shouldnt show in store, right? Worked in cm10

5. I thought there was more space free for apps with new partitions, but i didnt write down numbers. It seems that with everything i can being moved to sd, i still am struggling for space.

6. With the restricted goo apps, the startup experience isnt there with google restoring wallpaper and other settings. I know this isnt the rom but we are missing some things until valid goo apps are out.

7. While BT is great so far with my older mot headset, i cant even see a mot s10hd, let alone trying to pair. I think the s10 uses a newer or different spec. Note that i didnt try this with cm10 so i cant compare.

More later as its getting late...bb
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Thanks, I didn't even know such a folder existed. I guess I have a lot of catching up to do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dsmryder:
Yeah, if I read it right it's for real system apps and the normal /system/app directory is more for OEM add-ons.
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
I wish bbelos latest patch related to data connection will get merged & satisfying other devs :fingercrossed: so epicmtd can get nightlies :thumbup:

latest 4.4.1 build runs very well for me, it makes me left old cm-10.1.2 as my daily driver :D lol

How has battery life been?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
GREAT. I've never had such minimal battery drains since ICS.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
So here's what happened:

I backed up everything, wiped system and data, flashed the CM11 zip. FIRST time I flashed it, it caused a reboot (incomplete flash? Flashing new recovery?) So I pulled the battery, booted back into CWM, flashed the CM11 image and gapps.

Booted up fine, played with it for a while. Smooth as butter (aside from some frequent crashes in one of the launchers while I was setting up some widgets on my homescreens.)

Then came the dealbreaker: After a reboot, any homescreen shortcuts to apps installed to my SD card vanish from my homescreen folders. Same behavior, whether I used "launcher" or "launcher 3."

So I decided to go back to CM 10.1. I booted into CWM, wiped everything, and tried to install the 10.1 zip. I got errors telling me the zip was broken.

Uh-oh.

So I tried again. Still no luck. So I did a full restore, which brought up a LOT of bugginess. So THEN, I flashed the 10.1 zip, followed by the full restore AGAIN - and THAT fixed it. Back to 10.1, nothing broken.

TL : DR, Tried CM11, successfully returned to CM10.1 with a RESTORE, cm 10.1 zip, RESTORE AGAIN. YMMV.

Hi to all,

My battery is worst since i've updated to last version of firmware (UDMJ7) with the OTA way.

If I flash it with Odin, does my Knox will be enabled (0x0 -> 0x1)?

Thanks for future answers.

Cause this MJ7 is terrible for my battery, I don't know why, but I want downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killberty:
You cannot.

Some ppl in other threads tried, bootlooped and finaly flashed mj7 again.

Leave a 'Thanks' if i helped you

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamyi:
Yes, definitely. You won't be able to downgrade back to previous bootloader. Even if it is booted you won't have any sound and data. But you can still downgrade to MJ6 firmware where there are reported case that it is successfully done.

And regarding on your battery issue, just stating your battery is worst doesn't help. I would suggest you to download BetterBatteryStat or WakeLock Detector. Then it will give you a better statistic on what is draining your battery. In fact I find the MJ7 battery life is better than MJ1
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basongwe:
I just flashed the ROM again yesterday and wiped data & cache again, and then the battery seems to be better :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
Yes! Of course you can flash stock firmware without tripping anything.

Just don't flash rooting files or custom recovery...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you want to be able to go back to a lower version of firmware if you want, root your phone with URDLV and then install MJ7 with Mobile ODIN Pro....

MOP doesn't flash bootloaders leaving you the option to try any rom you want.

Just be aware rooting with cf-autoroot, flashing custom recoveries or kernels WILL trip Knox counter.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drjff:
Dear xda users.

In my personal lazyness I used some of those easy toolkits instead of updating adb.

This resulted in my n5 not being able to access FS. It barely boots once in 10 times, but most of the apps does not work, because /data cannot be mounted. (both in recovery and after booting).

I tried changing the recovery system, flashing CM11 and rasta android, does not help at all.

Is there a way to fix this?

I think I'm addicted to flashing ROMS. I've flashed just about everyone I can find for my T. Even when I get settled with a ROM I truly like (Hybrid/ CM 10.2) I think to myself 'oooh, I'll just try that one with a different kernel on the off chance I can get 4 minutes more battery and a speed increase that can't be registered with the human eye.'

I'm now checking XDA more than I check Facebook on the off chance that some genius like [MENTION=3381828]tilal6991[/MENTION] has posted a semi-stable 4.4 build.

I only rooted/ unlocked bootloader 4 weeks ago. I feel I've come a long way!

Weird thing is that i don't feel the need to do the same with this phone, i feel like the last jb firmware Works perfect and i don't have the need to mess with it. I rooted this phone a few months ago but it resulted in a performance decrease. So i.haven't felt the need to root again since then.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] oddeceed:
i used to be exactly the same i have calmed down a lot now i used to flash a rom at least once a day even if it was one i had used a couple of days ago just to see the difference the rom i am currently using makes if any or i would grow tireless knowing i have the ability to flash new roms but was not doing so .... i bricked a few galaxy ace's in the early days when i didn't know what i was doing and thought i could skip steps etc but once i knew what i was doing there was no stopping me i became that addicted i was flashing my friends phones with different roms too .... i have calmed down a lot now flashing only 3 - 4 times a week instead of the 7 - 100000000000000000's of times a week

(100000000000000000's is not literal but just a way of expressing countless amounts of times)

i think i have had almost all JB roms running on my T at least twice now i flick between omni, honami v5, and keep trying the 4.3 version of pacman from buildbasket waiting for a stable release .... honami is my daily because i get to use doomkernel and OC and its got enough tweaks in it to make me feel like im not stuck on boring stock rom lol for me im always looking for functions and OC and unfortunatly unless you ar on stock OC just isnt there .... sure on one of the AOKP projects you can OC to 1.7 but thats a whole 0.2 less than on a stock with doomkernel might not sound like much but it can make a difference also doomkernel comes with governors that are tweaked for dual core again something that is missing from CM AOKP etc ....... hopefully omni will resolve this issue for me and i can spread my wings a little once they have a few more settings and OC / governors are fixed up
