Just FYI, I used Go Backup Pro back on my TouchWiz ROM to keep call history and SMS and MMS backups on my SD card, but the SMS and MMS don't restore on CM 11. Must be a 4.4 thing, as others have this trouble. But I was able to dive into my backup I took with CWM Touch to get my texts back using the info from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47707137#post47707137

If you do use Go SMS Pro instead of Hangouts for texting (or the awesome stock MMS which now supports popups) rely on Go SMS Pro's internal backup tool to backup and restore texts. I'm so lean on my apps I really don't care about letting the Play store restore me between flashes. But I do care about my texts. Go Backup Pro works well to backup and restore call history, so far.

PA Gapps (for Android 4.4 Roms)

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=PA+GApps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
Works perfectly for me, right away nav begins. If anyone has GPS lock issues, try tightening the screws before blaming the ROM, this thing is mad fast on lock for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
Make sure it is set as the default messaging app (Settings->More->Default SMS App) then restore. After it's done then you can select Messaging or Hangouts. I know this works with SMS Backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
I did that, and I tried setting it to Hangouts, and Messaging (stock) before running the restore again. This isn't unique to CM 11.. I think all 4.4 ROMs are having this issue with Go Backup Pro SMS restore. It acts like it's successful then nothing changes, and it shows 0 to backup (or however many messages you have in there now if you've already received some).

11/21 Build

I cleaned flashed the 11/21 build this morning along with PA GApps, restored device ID through TiBu, restored apps through TiBu, themed, changed system font, set up screens and went through all the settings. I believe everything is working. WOW! This rom is starting to become refined! Having the home screen shortcuts is really nice! Here come the bells and whistles! :silly: I'm going to give the stock kernel a whirl for a couple of days, it seems pretty solid as well. Thanks everyone for participating with great feedback and suggestions! I really like this thread, very productive! :)

sspencer10, It seems like you are screening these builds before posting because it seems we are having far less trouble than other kitkat roms!

This is smoking fast and smooth!

Thanks a lot man! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
I got it to work. Here is the file you need to put in system/etc/permissions

https://www.dropbox.com/s/m2xm5fc9nwtpuvz/android.hardware.nfc.hce.xml

Tap and pay does not show up in settings however. I haven't tried to tap and pay yet, but once I droped that file into system/etc/permissions and rebooted and opened wallet again the tap and pay setup appeared.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
Yes I am, glad you are enjoying it. What problems are they having with other builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
I'm guessing by what I've read... but I believe it's from their cherry picks causing angst?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
The 4.4 front camera on my 11/21 build was acting up like it did before so I put the working 4.4 camera app from my 11/19 build into the zip before I posted it. That's just one example of the screening I do. Also, it has taken some manual code entry to get all the commits to merge properly. I was just curious to see if the 4.4 ffc issue returned for other roms or if it was something on my end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Bug: adding a sync toggle causes a constant SystemUI FC. Only a reflash of rom fixes this

Not blaming rom. I lock immediately and accurately. I just couldn't get nav to work. I'll flash new build and hopefully that will solve issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Defragger51:
What I find even more odd is that I can not find the System/etc/permissions folders to put the file in. Also I read earlier that the 11/21 build fixed the stock 4.4 camera, I installed it and the latest pa-gapps and now the camera freezes up when I open it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
nav is jacked up for me too bro. also i had to flash the 4.4 keyboard seperately to get the swype feature back. other than that this this kicks ass

Why can't you find it? /system/etc/permissions its there, trust me bro. Also camera is working for me, did u clean flash?

I found it was using CM file manager and I can never find anything with it. had to re install OI file manager and I was able to find it . May I as how did you change the permission, all I can do is view them don't have the option to change them. No I did not do a clean install just wipe cache and dalvik , but I will do a clean install now.

how to keep root

I keep losing root after flashing. I can't find the instructions and I feel like an idiot. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

it's a totally clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripdoozer:
donnyp1 mentioned the "New TWRP". Is there something newer than 2.6.3.0? I looked on their site, and nothing newer for d2vzw.

I am pretty sure I have tried flashing this rom with 2.6.3.0, and had no luck.

Sorry If I missed this earlier in the thread. I looked....I really did.

Would LOVE to be able to switch back to TWRP.

Thanks!

Edit: I found two ways of using TWRP with 4.4. You can change the binary.update .zip, or there is an Unofficial update of TWRP from Chevelle1768 on the KitKang thread. It's 2.6.3.1. Going to try it now.

I replaced my 4.4 camera with 4.3 until there is a setting for pictures to be stored into external sdcard. Hey spencer, any chance that you will be adding to be able to add a wallpaper to lock screen. Everything is working so much better after a clean install. Pain in rear, but well worth it.

Under developer options select Disable HW Overlays and that will fix it. You will need to select this option each time you boot, or go into the build.prop and edit the following line from debug.composition.type=dyn and change it to debug.composition.type=gpu . You will need to reboot if you edit the build.prop for the changes to go into effect.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StormFreak:
I'm really enjoying this ROM so far! So great to have KitKat on the S3. One thing I am noticing is if you swipe to the camera widget on the lockscreen, it will eventually cause the camera to crash. Then only a reboot will fix it. It seems if you open the camera from the app first, and then try the widget it works, but I'm not completely certain. Anyone else have any issues with this? I realize this is one of the first builds with the 4.4 camera so I'm sure there are bound to be wrinkles.

So my bluetooth suddenly stopped working, bluetooth share crashes and restarts on the build from the 18th. Then I lost all my texts. I tried wiping cache and fix permissions and other fun stuff. Even switched to ART but that borked my root. Switched back and updated to the latest build (dirty flashed) and all is well again for the most part. Just have issues with USB access to mtp, says device disconnected any time I tried to write a file. Oh and I switched to Super SU and installed it as a system binary. More of a precautionary thing. Camera works nice by the way.

For those of you that use GEL, give this KitKat Launcher a try. It's just like GEL but with features and much much smoother. There's a free version and a Pro key for $2 that unlocks more features, It's worth it IMO. No, I have nothing to do with this app.

I would like some help if i may please.

I downloaded the latest nightly 4.4 cm11 ROM and the PA 4.4 gapps full. I followed all instructions to wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, dalvik and format system. I then installed the 4.4 ROM and the gapps and selected reboot. It then told me I needed to fix root so I allowed it and it rebooted. It immediately booted into recovery. I thought I did something wrong so I repeated the process and got the same result. Thankfully I was able to format again and this time went back to a totally fresh install of cm10.2 M1 from earlier this month. What did I do wrong or where might the problem be? Thank you so much in advance.
