Trying Banks Gapps with the 2/3/14 build, and getting pretty much the same results...

Cleared cache, dalvik, and data, S-ON, flashed boot.img from 2/3/14 build, gmail still doesn't sync :mad:

I think I'll switch back to PA Gapps as I prefer launcher3 over the Stock launcher and Trebuchet (since launcher3 allowed me to resize my rows/columns to 4/5, respectively. Can't find that option in Trebuchet...)

I'll re-wipe everything and try again with PA Gapps :fingers-crossed:

EDIT:

So I tried again with PA Gapps (this time with the Full Modular version), and now Gmail is synced and sending me notifications! :D

I'm not entirely sure what I did differently this time around, but I do know that after I re-installed and rebooted to the ROM, I unchecked the "Backup & Restore" option after I logged in with my Google account. I don't know why, but I got this feeling that it was using some old sync service which was not working with 4.4 but worked with 4.3 :confused:

Unfortunately, I also realized that launcher3 is removed not because of the Gapps version, but of the ROM build :( I still haven't discovered a way to resize the rows/columns to 4/5 though... But I suppose I can live with it over time.

Thanks for all the great work albinoman! :highfive:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] VividTheMan:
On the newest nightly build, still no MMS. What settings do I need for the MMS Settings in the KitKat messaging app?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skullman012291:
That's still an issue that is a work in progress. As of now, virtually nobody in this thread has MMS working. There was one case where it did work, but besides that, no one has MMS working.

You just have to be patient and wait for a fix to come (however long it takes).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
You might try looking at some other launchers. I have had great success with Solo Launcher (free on Play Store). Re-sizing the grid is easy, you can have folders on the desktop as well as the app drawer, many nice features.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skullman012291:
I did eventually reach that conclusion as I am now using Nova Launcher as my default launcher. It gets the job done as far as I'm concerned, so I've got no issues with it :p

0205 build

Yay! I installed 0205 today and my email problems all disappeared. I was having troubles with my wireless connection at work. Working fine now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] richpin2000:
Guys, sorry but how is the in call speaker volume in this build?

I can see great development here - thanks !
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] archioptrics:
Has the ability to use launcher 3 been restored in the latest build? Like to be able to set which screen is default
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
Been working fine for me all along.

Currently on 0205 build, full modular gapps

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] falcon7204:
Albinoman, I want to commend you on keeping the Vivid working and vibrant. It frankly beats the pants off my old Captivate, in terms of speed and screen size, although it's a bit heavier. Having KitKat on it makes it feel like a brand new phone.

One question: Occasionally when I install one of your nightlies, after the "Android is Upgrading" message disappears and the boot completes, when I unlock it I get a dialog that says, "SIM Card Installed - Restart your device to access the mobile network." Well, I haven't changed or removed the SIM card from the last installation, so basically I hit the "back" button and it continues to bring up the homescreens as normal. I look at the signal strength icon and it never shows that I'm not connected to the network. So, I'm wondering, is this just a bug in the interface? It does it sporadically - some nightly builds this will happen, while on others it won't.

It's a minor annoyance that doesn't appear to affect the functionality of the phone, but thought I'd bring it to your attention. Again, thanks for all your hard work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Stop rubbing it in...

You're the only one
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
That looks like Hangouts... Hangouts can send pictures via Google. Normally the name at the top will have small print SMS below the name when sending MMS. Notice how it says "Send a Message" and not "Send a SMS Messgae" ???

I only use GoSMS and can confirm that MMS is still not working. However, using GoSMS via there link system works. It uploads the picture to their cloud, and provides a link to non-gosms users.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Is anyone else having problems with the 0205 build forgetting that the phone is supposed to ring?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] max13b2:
No, my phone rings every time so far.

I'm on the 2/07 build with the 2/07 full modular pa gapps. This combined with ART and this ROM is blazing fast! I get much better AnTuTu scores with this combo at 1.5Mhz, than I ever did on my old ICS ROM at 1.76Mhz.

I'm S-Off but flashed the boot.img just in case.

I don't send a lot on MMS, so I'm not too worried about that not working, only thing I wish was improved as the in-call speaker (speakerphone) volume as its incredibly low. Any chance this can be increased like the in-call earpiece volume was? The loud speaker for PowerAmp or MoBoPlayer is awesome and loud, but the speakerphone is almost inaudible. Thanks to the dev for this super nice ROM!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] falcon7204:
My phone "rings" after each new flash, but it uses the notification tone instead of the default ring, so I miss some calls. I have to reset my custom ringtones each time I flash, it seems, but I can't copy my custom ringtones from my external SD card to the system ringtone folder (even as root I get "permission denied"). I know there'll be bugs to work out, so no worries. Speakerphone volume is also low, but audio playback is fine. Haven't tried ART yet, but heard it was still "experimental."
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] max13b2:
Yes it did state was it was experimental, but I have no problems at all. I have used it since I began using this ROM almost 2 moths ago. Try it, worse come to worse, just go back to the old school dalvik runtime. I think you will be impressed! Yes it does take a bit to "upgrade" but I can deff see improvement after is done and settled in
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
What do you mean it takes a bit to upgrade? Do you have to format your SD card or something?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
Last time I switched to ART runtime, I rebooted my phone and had to wait through a kinda lengthy "Android is Upgrading; optimizing application XX". Might give it a try myself though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Well I just went to 0208... And the phone is still ringing... Maybe it was a bug in 0205...

And ART is working for me... But... I liked Xposed... So I might switch back...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] max13b2:
I have found that the first time you open a app after you switch to ART, I did not see a change in speed. But after the first time, once you reopen it and it is committed to memory, they open much faster and overall the ROM feels more fluid after letting it settle in for a few hours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
Wow, just checking in after some months. Never thought I would see the day when the volume issue gets fixed. Huge thanks albinoman :good:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] martinmaxs:
Bug report : This bug wasn't reported by anyone so far , im experiencing it from 31.12 build and now im on the newest nightly , after using the Airplane mode on/off couple of times WIFI doen't work ( It stuck on turning on and stays like that ) in order to get it work you have to put in in Airplane mode -> reset the phone -> turn wifi on - > turn airplane off - > profit :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drstalint63:
Been trying every nightly. Wired headset in line mic non functional only during calls. Found it to be an issue even with nexus with most of the head sets. Any fix..?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I use airplane mode all the time... No issue...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gevans01:
I've recently experienced that problem on my last flight. I put my phone in airplane mode to save battery and noticed WIFI stayed on. I tired to turn WIFI but it didn't work until I turn airplane mode on-off-on again. I would have never noticed until my flight.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Is this an issue in the lastest nightly? Never an issue on my current setup which I won't change until I get some confirmations that MMS is back. :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drstalint63:
Its been an isuue right from the build dated Jan 15th. I tried using different headsets [Beats,Samsung,Apple]. Headset mic works fine during other operations like voice commands, OK GOOGLE, Text to speech. Its non functional selectively when on a voice call. I searched some threads and tried editing mixer_paths.xml. But there was no such file in /system/etc. So, i installed a zip file actually meant for nexus and edited it, but no improvement.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
I haven't had this issue at all. Maybe post your setup. Mine is below in my signature. I use Skullcandy headset and all voice commands and phone calls work great. All functions work without the headset. Haven't tested any bluetooth devices since this build. The only two issues I have are MMS, and Rear Speaker Volume during a call.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drstalint63:
I was S-on when i first flashed this ROM on TWRP recovery. so i had to flash boot.img through fastboot. I noticed the headset issue right then, tried different nightlies there after. Also interchanged CWM/TWRP recovery. Then i did an S-off and flashed the .zip rom directly and have been trying almost all the nightly releases. At the movement i am on nightly dated feb 9 2014. with bank gapps, TWRP recovery S-off. By the way.. i had to flash back to stock ROM to do the s-off. All the headsets worked perfect with stock ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] youcef1x:

Has anyone tried the latest nightly, to say i miss launcher 3 is an understatement
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
Which gapps version did you try to flash? If you read through this thread you'll notice some gapps versions did not work, and others found some that do.

As for the internal storage issue, that is a problem that has been answered before. I can't remember of it's in this thread, but in fairly certain it's in the q & a section.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Just curious, what is it that makes launcher 3 your preferred launcher? In currently using apex, and it suits me great, but I'm always looking for something that might be better for me.

I'm on Feb 1 nightly and my Trebuchet keeps crashing. Usually when I restart my phone. Also, a bunch of other bugs that were already mentioned.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ghitim:
could you be a little more specific than "a bunch of other bugs"

also a little more info about Trebuchet crashing, what does it say when it crashes? how often? does it only do it once and then stop? or repeatedly for a bit? everytime you reboot?

usually force close's are caused by permissions errors, have you tried fixing permissions?

on another note, i have this silly little question to all the people running nightlies... if you're running nightlies, why arn't you on the newest one? or atleast within a week or so.

as for bugs for me, mms, bluetooth headset just wont do phone calls(phone keeps disconnecting the headset), and speakerphone isn't tons louder than earpeice. everything else works perfectly for me. mms is the only thing that slightly bugs me. keep up the awesome work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Thanks for that update. I've been waiting for someone to confirm the lastest updates. I'm still holding off until someone says something has changed for the better. Please keep posting your updates for the latest nightlies. Thanks again! :highfive:

Before I had commented that Netflix wasn't working nice with this rom; it still doesn't, in spite of the updates it has recently received, but by searching the forums (I am ashamed I had not been as thorough before), I found a workaround. Turns out the Xposed workaround for CM 10.1 works for CM 11 too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101525

All I did was follow the instructions and voila! Netflix no longer tries to use JPlayer or whatever it is that's failing.

Having problems with proximity sensor. It doesn't block and turn off touchscreen whili performijg a call. Does anybody know how to fix it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Didn't mean to thank your post...

The proximity sensor has been a problem on any AOSP based ROM since CM10... It doesn't react fast enough... You have to modify how you hold the phone... Keep it away from your face until it triggers.... Then you're fine
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Elected:
It's a pity, maybe will find some software solution for it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pinchild:
This got Netflix working on mine as well, I'm currently running the Feb14 nightly. One item of note that was stumping me. After you install the Xposed framework and the Netflix module you have to open the Xposed app and specifically enable the module.

As for other bugs:

- MMS, of course

- Mine occasionally (once per week and I can't seem to intentionally recreate it) freaks out, reports no SIM and I have to run through a myriad of airplane mode and WiFi enables/disables before it comes back. This happened with the 01FEB nightly I was running as well.

- I can hear my voice echoed back to me while on calls and the caller reports that my voice is not clear.

Video Calls no Voice

I tried searching this thread but could not find anything regarding my problem. Although, I did find something of this sort on Galaxy-SIII CM11 forum.

Whenever I make a video call to someone I cna see and hear them fine. They can also see me fine, but they can't hear me at all. I have called multiple contacts from Hangouts. The video seems flawless, but they don't get any audio from my end. I have tried wired headphones and bluetooth earpiece however, the issue still remains. I have tried reflashing but still the issue remains. Any clues?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
I've experienced the same thing. Tried wired headphones but still the person on the other end can't hear me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Does anyone have MMS settings that work?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drstalint63:
been flashing the nightlies one after another. wired headset mic still not functional during calls. Is it just me... or anyone else has this problem
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] skullman012291:
I don't really know why others are having this issue. I received a call from my boss about a week ago (on the 7th) and I was using my Skullcandy earbuds with a built-in mic and I didn't get any complaints whatsoever from him regarding audio.

I haven't changed builds since then (running on Feb 6 build), but I'll probably upgrade to today's build later today. Apart from the common MMS issue, I haven't had any other issues.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] daedalas1981:
Nightlies Explained!

Nightlies are exactly that. Small changes and tests. These builds are *NOT* stable enough to count as a full version. For instance, one problem is addressed causing another problem. People who use nightlies, report their findings on the forum. Some nightlies have more functionality in certain areas.

The best way to put it, i think, is that you are essentially testing the latest Beta of a particular Rom. Knowing that, you may install a Rom, find that it doesn't work in areas that you need to be a daily driver, and have to re-install an older nightly to your liking.

Download the Holiday Nightlies here:

After installing your Nightly, post your findings here, along with what your setup is. :good:

lol so long last time I think I saw you post you had Senior Member. Now it says Recognized Contributor. Congrats on that! :) Long over-due I think...though I think it should even be rec dev/contributor IMO (who builds for phones they don't have, and successfully fix bugs devs with the phone couldn't fix...even goes and buys the phone to help us....). Well deserved man GJ!

On-Topic

The nightlies seem very stable to me, 99% of the phone functions great. Few minor tweaks may need to be done but overall very good builds

- Netflix works out of the box without running the Xposed Framework workaround.*Cheers*

- Others have reported problems with inline mics not working. I do not have one to test with but I can say that my Jawbone bluetooth works flawlessly.

- MMS does not work.

- Soundhound reports "Unable to detect a working microphone."

- In call mute button does not work both standard and bluetooth. It shows that mute is on but the distant end can still hear you.

Does vpn work on this rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ehidle:
Yes I use OpenVPN and it works great.

Has anyone had a problem where tethering just "breaks" and has to be restarted? I had a Vivid laying around so I'm using it to tether a PC in my house to route some priority traffic around our slow DSL. But, at least once or twice a day the link between the PC and the phone breaks and I have to restart tethering on the phone to bring it back up. I don't think it's a keepalive issue because there is always some traffic going (APRS packets at least once every minute or so).

Sometimes I look at it and the USB Tethering box is no longer unchecked, and sometimes it is still checked but just not working. It may or may not be the ROM, but I thought I would run it by the group..

The PC is running Linux Mint 15... I recently did a dist-upgrade to get to the latest kernel but that didn't seem to improve anything.

TIA... and thanks again for putting this ROM together!

I was able to update trough my SD card but my Internal memory still isn't working. When I connect it to the PC I get a message that I need to format it, to work again. I have so much important media on it. Is there a way to fix this? Without anything getting deleted?

Looks like my internal memory card got corrupted. Can't open my galary. When I look in my storage it only sees 3.81 GB of internal instead of 8 GB.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Geckodudes:
The only way I fixed mine was to re-flash the HTC ROM using their provided RUU. Search around and you can find it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kevinkdc:
That's what I'm doing now. Here's hoping it works. Will I get my files back? Or are they gone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Geckodudes:
Only if you backed them up. Always make backups. Always.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kevinkdc:
So everything from my Internal memory card is gone? Are you sure :rip:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Geckodudes:
If you didn't back it up, I think it's pretty well gone.

You could try to explore it if you can still see your device in adb, or a recovery file explorer.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kevinkdc:
Please tell me more. Where and how can I do that?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Geckodudes:
Boot into your recovery and find the file explorer. If you have CWM, I'm not sure if it has one. You can see if you have the files actually still there, I think. You can also try adb, if you can still connect.

Use the adb pull commands, google how to use it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kevinkdc:
Thanks. One last question. Should I boot into recovery or fastboot to do the commands?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Geckodudes:
Recovery = adb

Fastbot = fastboot. ;)
