Could somebody tell me what the factory partition is for?

Coming from 4.3.1 to 4.4.x, what steps would one normally take to clean the phone before upgrade?

I have cwm 6.4.4

Wipe data/cache

Wipe dalvik

Format system

Reboot to recovery while root is placed in /xbin/root, I think

Install ROM

Install gapps and any other fix

Format sdcard

Reboot to ROM

What do you guys do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Prasad:
Ideally,

Factory reset

Format /system

Flash ROM

Flash gapps

Clear dalvik/cache

Reboot

THEN return to recovery for additional fixes

Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrs:
I've gone with the SlimKat instructions which are short:

In CWM perform wipe data/factory reset and in mount section format system.

In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.

After this (the CWM part since that's what I use) I just flash ROM and gapps and reboot.

What I don't know is why it says to wipe Dalvik cache in TWRP but not in CWM... Ignoring /cache with CWM is clear since formatting /system in CWM formats cache as well. Any ideas on whether wiping the Dalvik cache is actually important anyways? Isn't that what gets rebuilt in the first boot when you have the window saying "Android is updating" and there's a count of apps getting optimized?

Hello,

I posted a few pages back that i had problem with wifi-scan interval, when i come from outside to home, the phone doesn't connect to my wifi.

I have checked my build.prop file, and there is no "wifi.interval_scan=" parameter (don't remember the exact value) there. If that is a problem?

Running latest nightly :),

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stupendousman2012:
Anyone else having this issue?

I just switched to ART for the first time, using the latest nightly and the ART-compatible GAPPS from the OP.

I keep getting "android.process.media has stopped" And I hit the OK button to clear it.

Seems to happen randomly. It can pop up 4 or more times times in a row, and then stop appearing, or just appear randomly once, and then go away.

I'm not playing any media or sounds. The problem seems to be random in nature.

I have tried clearing data on the Media Storage app, but the problem persists.

Any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enlothien:
Yes I have this issue as well with the latest build. Dirty flashed.

Moment I leave my house and walked backed in, the wifi doesn't automatically connect. I have to go into wifi setting to get it connected. It didn't happened in the previous build.

Anyone else having the same issue?

When I don't use Lagfix my phone starts to lag after a while. I'm also wondering if there's something preventing vold from issuing fstrim. I hope there is someone who can give a definitive answer. Maybe it's root? Because on rooted stock, I experienced the same thing.

For the time being, I'm scheduling an overnight fstrim with lagfix premium.

The CyanogenMod updater has worked twice now for me however I've lost camera and gallery both times. This was no big deal since I also flashed playfulgods gapps file and both camera and gallery were re-installed. [ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 11 is now my daily driver.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] databoy2k:
With regards to the latest CM Nightly, I see that 4.4.2 has now been merged. Has that nuked App Ops, or has the team found a way to keep it in? Anybody know what the status of App Ops are from the CM perspective? I know I sure enjoyed the built-in implementation on PA.

Hello,

just installed this ROM, but I'm not successful to make my NEXUS to be recognized on WINDOWS, although the MTP option is marked.

Only the PTP (Camera) option works fine.

What can I do?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pianistaPL:
Did you make CLEAN install (factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and wipe /system)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m2millenium:
maybe only the /system one I skipped... so a solution is to reinstall the zip?

Sometimes linking ringtone and notification volumes is not working, it only changes ringtone volume.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
it was removed as it was a hidden 'for dev purposes' feature that if you really think about was a bad idea. Lets say you have a car, you have complete control of it, so you decide to restrict one of the wheels from turning, boom, tire locks up smoke starts boiling off it. Okay, now you decide, pff I dont need all 4/6/8 cylinders, so you restrict all but one, boom, car starts gugging and smoking, and bucking. But you have full control, car doesnt run for ****, but you were able torestrict thing 'you' deemed it didnt need. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
what ? O.o 650 mb free ram ? your running kitkat on 44 mb ram ? LOL for me its using about 450 mb used ram while 200ish is free.at the build that was posted on twitter but the experience is very smooth, no random reboots no lags :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Now that I'm not in recovery lol, mines showing 387MB used and 306MB free.

I know I seen what I said b4 tho, I might not had gapps install at the time tho. :)

i wonder how we can free up ram. i remember on 4.3 if i kept the device running constantly for 60 hours of uptime without reboot i would just run out of ram. apps right ? nope uninstalled every user app and still the same ram was used. what can cause this ? os monitor barely shows any apps in memory.

i hope thats fixed with 4.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Thanks I have picked those.

TBH I;ve not even paid attention to ram use, never seemed a issues for me. I been fighting to figure out why my build still have gmail etc fc'ing. I chatted with dhacker29 earlier today to see if evverything he used to build had been merged into cm-11.0 and he said yea. I'm sitting here baffled. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
plus they deleted art option from dev options...I don't like cyano when they just take this useless stands not giving a damn about user's freedom of choice..they said it was better because too unexperienced users were complaining about art..I don't really get the point here..plus in latest official nightly I can't either find the battery menu option in settings..what the heck is going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kustaa:
Uhmm..it's there, at least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
No art isn't deleted they moved it all the way to the bottom in dev options where it says apps, I thought the samething but I'm on the 12/15 build so I'm not sure if they did completely remove it on the newer nightlies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
oh, you're right, thanks mate! Another weird thing on latest official, the battery isn't showing any graphical increase/decrease, there is this new voice in the menu that says "portrait icon" that shows the full battery icon, same goes for the circle...then if you choose "show percentage" the % is completely wrong..are you experiencing the same?

Bu the way, I'm talking about this stuff here because maybe we could choose not to merge everything from their repo, since a lot is going on and not all of us may like it..just a point of view though..I'm reflashing this rom again, but i did a clean installation, don't know what is wrong honestly..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
They just moved it down to under Apps and added a Warning/disclaimer basically saying if you use art you're on your own. ;)

My battery and % look to be correct (circle w/ %).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckana:
newest nightly shows 12523958 percent of battery and the green dot below the navbar is always green, there is no battery options in settings, battery temperature shows 0 degrees and the voltage is -282148274 mV, WHAT the hell is going on
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55609/

will they remove it completely? Looks like they will from this commit...anyway, reflashing and everything seems to be ok...so it could be two things, super ram mopkang that I usually flash right after gapps in any kk rom, or twrp failed to wipe something, cause I'm sure like hell i did a complete and proper wipe of any partition..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
it was exactly like this at the first flash! I'm not crazy after all LOL reflash it mate, format system,data,cache,flash rom,gapps and boot it, it should look fine..try a custom kernel later, let's see if that could be the reason
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sik-1:
Nope [MENTION=3709686]memnoc[/MENTION], I'm on the build 15 and none of those problems occur, simple fix would b just to flash the 15th over the 16th until they clean up the code, so far this build has been extremely solid for the past day and a half

battery stats bug

Same here, i did a clean install twice of the 1215 version but no battery stats neither battery menu in options !

in fact, in about menu, battery is still said to be charging, 3951% but my phone is not plugged :confused:

so battery circle show no percentage et the flash led stay always green !

i've tried to delete battery stats via SDMaid option, but no change, bug still there.

i've tried to pulled off the battery too, nothing change too !

so back to last working version, waiting for your next release !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith:
Probably a known issue but hardware decoding of 720p mkv files with BS Player results in a lot of stuttering. Unfortunately software decoding cannot keep up resulting in too many dropped frames. Is there a video player that does a better job? With CM 10.x this problem did not occur. I'm using the official 1216 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
Ok since I started the fuss about the latest cyano nightly (12/16) I feel guilty that I had to do this here and I'm gonna fix it:fingers-crossed:

First flash was wrong for me, led always on, no battery option, wrong percentage, etc...so I flashed it again this way

format system, data, cache, flashed rom and gapps (I use banks gapps)

It's all ok, battery option, percentage, like usual, just perfect

I flashed mopkang again, 4.4 super ram, and voilà, all is screwed up again! Reason? The ramdisk of course, they (cyano) changed something, so mopkang needs to update his ramdisk..solution? Flash a ramdisk free kernel, like 1080 version, or just don't flash any kernel

sorry [MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION], it was my fault this time :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inateur:
[MENTION=3709686]memnoc[/MENTION], thanks, i will try !

EDIT : it works !!

i was using osmosis fixed f.K v394 for 4.4 (forgot to mention it though , my bad !!)

so it need to be updated too ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
let's be prepared to the complaining - flood about practically any rom outside not compatible with any custom kernel anymore LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jac0verflow:
It seems like flashing Mpokang kernel (CM version of course) on top on the latest nightly (131216) breaks battery stats completely: they disappear from settings menu and consequently, from quick settings.

I didn't try other kernels, so I really don't know if this behaviour is related only to Mpokang.

EDIT: Oooops, I'm late! Thanks to [MENTION=3709686]memnoc[/MENTION] for the full explanation :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] databoy2k:
(Total aside; there are vehicles that are able to restrict cylinders for the sake of fuel efficiency. That said, I understand your point).

Honestly, my take on it was that if the app didn't support having certain wheels pulled off, then c'est la vie. For example, I'm refusing to install the new twitter app which requires access to my texts. It has no need for that, so not going to happen. I'd be inclined to install it with app ops, however, and restrict its access to my texts and see if it still works. If it borks, then I'm in no better or worse position than I currently am; if it works, then I don't have to use twitter through chrome. Too many apps are adding unnecessary permissions, and I like to see which ones are legitimate and which ones are not.

It seems like a bit of a power-user, developers-only feature, kind of like ART. Those features are the reason why I use Androids (particularly custom ROMs). Increased flexibility is always better to me, even if I don't use the feature much (or at all).

I'm guessing that your answer is the answer to my question, though, and that the feature is gone. Too bad, and hopefully it gets cooked back in at some point.

Thx PlayfulGod.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] *se-nsei.:
Very good job by the developer thank you very much.

Two quick questions:

1. Can I update to later builds without wipe without any problems? Or..? What is the best way to do this?

2. Is it possible to use custom overclock kernels with this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
yes, but issues can arise tho. I'm not experienced any but everyones exp isnt the same. ;)

and yes, but I dont support issues that might arise from use of other kernels. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memnoc:
1-best way is: format system, cache, flash new update, reflash gapps (data stays unotuched, no data loss whatsoever, but a almost 100% clean installation)

2-read my post one page back, it will explain you why, for now, it would be better not to install a custom kernel with ramdisk (most of them have one)..my suggestion is mopkang kernel 1080 version, it has no ramdisk and it will always work on any rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brankoni33:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
The only difference would be that formatting system will remove the addon.d scripts and ensure a complete flash (though require you flash gapps). Not formatting system will run the addon.d scripts and should* mean you don't need to flash gapps each time.

*Currently, somehow my camera is being deleted in this process.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spacemanr:
Yap, it's quite strange, I'm not any kind of dev but as I see in rom/system/app there is gallery2.apk and in gapss/system/app there isn't, so how it is possible that you have to flash gapps so you can bring camera back. If you just upgrade to new build of rom there is no camera nor gallery?

Maybe an explanation if someone can?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acras13:
Wanted to say a big thanks PlayfulGod , SMS problem I had with 12/14 has been fixed with 12/15 build , looking forward to running this for a bit to see how 4.4 feels . I haven't run someone elses ROM for more than about a week for quite a while , but my initial impression is that this might keep me on it for a bit , it doesn't feel bogged down or overloaded with things I don't use . Thank you for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m.is.for.michael:
There are some rm -f commands which remove individual apks as part of the addon.d scripts. I commented out the ones which remove messaging and browser, but I can't see (yet) where it removes gallery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daniol71:
Hey guys, I haven't been here in a while (exams) so sorry if this has been answered, but I wouldn't think it has since it's such a strange bug that I'm experiencing.

Today I swapped my UK SIM card to my Luxemburg SIM since I'm traveling back to Luxemburg today. What happened after I rebooted the phone and entered the PIN was that data, wifi and gps were automatically on. When I turned off gps it would just go back on, same with data, but after a few tries they would remain off. The one that wouldn't go off was wifi. As soon as I turned it off it turned back on and reenabled data at the same time! I even put the phone in airplane mode and wifi would still override it and turn on!!

I swapped back to my uk sim and problem was gone. Back to lux sim and it was there again. I'm guessing it's more related to the sim than the rom, but it still seems rom related. If anybody has any idea on how to fix this please tell me. I can't troubleshoot this now since I'm at the airport but I'll give it a try tomorrow. Also keep in mind that I'm still on 9 december build, I'll update soon and see if that changes anything.

I haven't had any problems with this rom in over a month and when I need it the most it decides to bug out grrrr -.-

EDIT: My bad guys, it was my anti-theft doing that :P
