I flashed the full, and it works fine. The extra google apps are just annoying to remove, plus google wallet isnt in system/apps. I have no use for that app so its impossible to remove. Thanks

This ROM seems to be working rather well. I haven't gotten a good chance to tinker with everything but I noticed a bug backing out of some apps (ex. Ingress). I have to hit the home button to escape. Other than that, thank you so much for providing us with an early adoption of 4.4. Much appreciated!

*edit* issue resolved itself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenixaldana01:
yup same for me guess i we have to flash the full
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
K, so I flashed cwm 6.0.3.1 and I'm still getting status 7 errors. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
Lol, yeah flash the latest cwm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Gotta be at least 6.0.4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
Grab the ROM Manager app it'll get the latest CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
funny i was getting the keyboard fc's on the full and perfect on the mini :)

good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Yea, I was using rom toolbox and saw it didn't have the newest. I got it to boot, but keep getting 'phone' fc'ing on me... Like constantly to the point where it's hard to reboot. Gapps, maybe the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid0351:
Use ROM installer from the market. It has the latest recoveries. Its the easiest way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phoenixaldana01:
Well I might just hold off on flashing those gapps everything's running great thx you spenc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iclickjohn:
Network extender causes location problems. Not ROM. I'm still reading every post from the sidelines on cm10.2 and getting itchy for this. Also 10.2 is 4.3 and Poweramp does work on it. Assuming you meant 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
those Kanged GAPPS gave me nothing but FC's from Phone. Wanted to try that new dialer too! DANG
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bamdroid:
I used PA's 4.4 gapps (art compatible). No issues.. working dialer too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Its the mini gapps that are giving problems. Flash the full and your good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
On the new Kanged Gaaps (Full) is anyone's android keyboard causing wakelocks?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I did flash the full. is the a way to just pull the apk for the new dialer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
This ROM already uses the 4.3 camera, thus no FFC problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Sorry just trying to help. Havnet been stalking this thread as much. Im using Invisibleks latest so I wasnt aware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Yep. Just open the zip file. Its in system/app. Push to the same directory on your phone. Match the permissions and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
No biggie, just pointing it out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
What the apk listed as? I can't find it? Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
How do I get rid of a voicemail notification that says I have 3 voicemails even though I just deleted them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
I found it in system/priv-app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
May or may not b as easy as pushing the apk tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
I've had to wait till I got another voicemail to get it straightened out b4 after flashing roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gordo80:
Do we need to flash gapps? If we do where do we get the gapps for 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stump909:
I'm having the same issue. I'm wondering if the new dialer is incompatible with activation. I'm going to try again with the standard gapp package, activate, then try flashing the new dialer gapp again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I had to clear data in the phone app to get that pesky notification to die.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
Use paranoid android gapps for 4.4. I Believe it's in the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donnyp1:
Any news on a compatible twrp update? I really don't like cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
ClockworkMod Recovery (often abbreviated to CWM, although CWR and CWMR are sometimes used) - Perhaps the most popular, and the one that is frequently associated with CyanogenMod

CWM is mostly used with CM so deal with it :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I'd reflash ROM. Then flash the new kang gaaps (full).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] donnyp1:
I've been running a version of cm for a long time on many devices. This is the first time in a long time it's required. I'm actually considering not running 4.4 roms till its updated. These rons are really great, but just enough small issues plus cwm is enough to make me consider.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Crazy.. I flashed the mini non-kang apps and it worked just fine. I'm digging it, but I'm going to wait for aokp to push 4.4, because I want the nav bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cinco312:
Same here brother. CWM is just plain awful. The dev for TWRP said it will be compatible with 4.4 in the next update, but no ETA was given. I tried CWM and this ROM for a day, the ROM was great but I had to go back to TWRP and LS 2.37

it works ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
If you want navbar, add this on a new line in your build.prop in /system.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

This is the legit navbar found on Nexus's, no silly app.

It always worked for me on every ROM and phone, but I disabled since games aren't updated for 4.4 and don't hide the navbar. Owning a nexus 5 now might be tough lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ranger7424:
Is there a way to take screenshots with this ROM, I was told VOL Down and PWR at the same time would do it, but no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Interesting... I'll try that and let ya know if it works!

*Edit*

HA! I tested it on AOKP 4.3 (after turning off the nav bar in rom settings) and after a reboot, it was there!

Nice one, sir... now I'm making the leap to cm11 as my daily driver. :D

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

Yea, that's the ICS/JB method for screenshots. Might be a feature that's not worked into CM yet with 4.4. I didn't check, but you should be able to add it as an option under 'power' settings when you press and hold power for 1 second. That's how I take screenshots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ranger7424:
Thanks for the advice, but I do not see Power or an option to change the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
works here. He has to be doing it wrong. Maybe he isn't holding the buttons down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ranger7424:
I got it, just wasnt holding the keys long enough

Can anyone other than sspencer (OP) confirm that Netflix video is working with a clean or dirty flash? I dirty flashed so that may be why it's not working for me, but just want to be sure before I got through and either clean wipe or do a clean flash. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickhex89:
Sent you a PM sspenser10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
So I had a Google Search fc as I was setting up apps (clean flash, just like in OP instructions), so I did the usual clear data on google search and it resets the launcher. All the icons went back to if I first flashed, and it gave the little tutorial. Anyone run into this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Search is the launcher or at least they are very closely integrated now. I couldn't sideload the new launcher without first loading Google search and Google services. That's probably why it reset the launcher for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sspencer10:
Clean flash, follow op flashing instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Can we have details? The entire time, were you on LTE, strong signal, WiFi... Also, does anyone know an aosp camera that can use external sd card? Thanks

My phone reboots when take a picture with front camera. Build 11-13, clean flashed and proud :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickhex89:
What Is the latest gapps for this ROM...as to make sure I do this properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Ahh ok. I was wondering if that was the case, thanks for clearing that up!

okay doing this really annoying clean flash ish about to see if it solves front camera issues, like it alot... more stable to come everyday i hope.... if it just doesnt work ill try to live it as long as i can, i can always fall back to a dirty flash to cm10.2

Be careful of this, because the newest gapps won't work with 4.3 without massive errors.

alright nice, thanks for the reply

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

i can cope with not having a FFC. the rom runs pretty damn smooth otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I'm with Cinco... the CWM touch is great, but the newest version isn't free and you can't set custom names for a backup in regular cwm (I change the folder name later... but that's not really a solution, more than it's a workaround). TWRP is the joint, so I'm anxiously awaiting the update that will jive with 4.4. I'll use the wonky CWM til then, but it's really a pain to flash the KK deliciousness. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
CWM touch recovery is free and available here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. You can flash with EZ recovery or other apps available at the playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
The latest CWM Touch is free, just requires you to download it and flash it manually.

Download: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-d2vzw.img

and open up a terminal application and:

su
ls /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-d2vzw.img
# the above is just to see if you have the recovery downloaded to the /sdcard/ folder, if not, replace with the correct path.. could be /sdcard/Downloads/
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-d2vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Or what he said, lol!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I tried flashing several with EZ Recovery, but nothing happens and it reverts to whatever I previously had flashed. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I don't see how it's possible with how simple the app is. Thx for that Touch info... I'll flash it manually :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Make sure you change the name of the recovery file to recovery.img and then flash otherwise it won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
That's odd, since EZ Recovery has full file names, as does the CWM app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenbrownstone:
It worked thanks... Anyway to rearrange them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
the search on the dialer isn't working so great. it is accurate if i type a name of a store like WAWA or Sears. it displays close by locations but if i put pizza or liquor or any other general search i always get responses that are from other states. i searched for google locations and the google dialer is set to low battery drain. anyone know how to change that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:
I used to have the same issue so now I am using Flashify (Free app) without any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
The kanged gaps were giving such a huge battery drain. The google keyboard was some of the problem. I uninstalled a few system apks and let my phone charge, and it was going slowly and I kept letting it sit and out of nowhere it was charging normally. Look at the awake on the picture, my phone wasn't sleeping for some reason. I re flashed the ROM with an older gapps and all seems well, but battery drain is at least 24% an hour, when on a older build I was getting 20-29% an hour draining. If it's not better by tonight, I'm flashing the old build... AGAIN. I just can never have good battery though :/ just my luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I gave up on them after I tried the full and mini with no luck. I went to the regular PA GAPPS mini and have no issues at all.

What's odd is I just tried it and now it will flash the recovery... I just flashed the downloaded img of CWM Touch. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
In using the same gapps, but I am going to drain my battery fast, and then charge it up and see how my better is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
Name, Backup, Delete. All easily done with the free version of ROM Manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Yea, you can do the same in a file manager or Rom Toolbox; all you're doing is changing the name of the folder/bucket the backup files are in, not the name of the files. I'm talking about setting a backup name BEFORE you start backing up a rom, like you can in TWRP. If you back up your rom, flash a new one, then back that one up, you now have 2 backups with CWM that are only defined by the date/time they were made. It's not user-friendly and many of us have complained to Koush about it in the past. Besides, I shouldn't have to use a rely on an app to use a recovery; it's a waste of space for something that can and was coded into the recovery itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
anyone using BMS kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
CWM after upgrading to install the CM11 has been acting up and it seems anything you want to do must be done manually after boot into recovery. I reverted back to CWM 6.0.3.1 touch through Rom Toolbox and now it is working like it used to. I can perform a backup and give it a name before it runs and then reboots after the backup is complete. CM11 seems to be runnning fine on this revert. I imagine that flashing an upgrade to CM11 will involve re-flashing CWM 6.0.4.3 again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
Yea, that's what it does. Backup Current and it comes up with the default date/time name but you can edit /rename it anything you want before it jumps to recovery, performs the backup and reboots me back to ROM Manager

Maybe you should try it yourself before you tell me what it doesn't do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
how do you avoid the phone error repeating indefinitely? i have tried almost every 4.4 gapps i can find. help would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

i am on the most recent cwm. i have tried the kang gapps and plain old PA gapps. both full and mini of both of them. to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Are you using rom manager? I found when I updated to CWM 6.0.4.3 (and with 6.0.3.8), I could not do a backup from rom manager directly When I try to initiate a backup through Rom Manager, I get an error message in CWM. It looks like the path(s) have been reconfigured? I still can do backups manually through CMW. These errors occurred in all android builds. Apparently, Koush knows about the problem but it has yet to be corrected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flowah:
I clean flashed 11-18 and I lost data. Doesn't seem like other people are having that problem though. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
AGAIN... I'm not talking about ROM MANAGER! I know what that app does (I've used it since the Droid 1 came out) and I've already said I refuse to keep an extra app on my phone anymore, when I can use shortcuts from Rom Toolbox, or the power/reboot menu to reboot into recovery.

I'm talking about CWM itself and how it, as a recovery, is deficient to TWRP, because you cannot preset a backup name in CWM. PERIOD. Please read the posts before chiming in. Now, enough with the threadjacking.

@ Lorenzo - I had the same issue... I had to wipe data/cache/dalvik 2 times, THEN flash the rom, then flash non-kanged mini to get it to work. Seems stable now, but the kanged gapps really do not agree with my device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
My phone shut off at 20% and when i turn it on it vibrates and does nothing. So i guess it died. Maybe the battery needs a calibration? The charging battery says 0%, so im going to leave it off and let it charge and then calibrate it. Can this also mean a bad battery, if it cannot read it correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
When you charge your phone to 100% the battery stats get wiped, it's no different than calibrating it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256038
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsmiff:
It's ridiculous that there's multiple posts about this. Use what you want. But don't claim CWM is deficient just because there's an extra app installed. You can actually do many of the functions from the app and never have to touch recovery to accomplish them so I think that is a bonus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Even when the phone is charging while off? Now i could have a bad battery? Can this be a problem with the rom? This sucks :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
Yes, I am using ROM Manager. And I had the same exact problem as you have described. However, I also have Rom Toolbox and under rom management within Rom Toolbox I flashed CWR Touch v. 6.0.3.1, this is the revert that I was talking about. Everytime I flash the latest CWR (6.0.4.3) I always have the same errors that you describe. I believe that it is a pathway description problem (I save all backups to my ext sd card) and CWR (CWM) shows a different label for that path in different places. I have sent multiple error reports to CWR developer.

In the meantime, I use this as a work-around.

Good Luck.

(we should probably be discussing this in a different thread?) :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
You should be able to start the phone with the charger with a dead battery.

It is possible that your battery is going. I very seldom every charge my phone, I always have a charged one in my pocket and never had to calibrate any of them. Once in a while I'll get one that starts to act up, and that's when I'll just order a few more. You can pick up two batteries and a charger for around $20 on amazon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Isn't there supposed to be 'Status Bar Settings' for changing the battery icon, time display and all that..... or is that just on AOKP-based roms? I haven't flashed CM in quite some time, but I thought that was a CM feature, not AOKP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
There's not a lot of settings right now while they work out the bugs. Although yes, they usually do have settings like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Im not sure what its called, but its charging and its off. I found an OEM battery on amazon for about 7 dollars. Thanks for your help :)

EDIT: After all this time, it went up to 13%. Something is really up :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Is anybody having an issue where AOSP keyboard is constantly running draining battery and is actually using up data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
I have, dont flash the kanged gapps, and the issue is resolved. Only thing missing is the new shiny dialer. :(

After about 30 minutes it went to 13%. I pulled battery and plugged in again and it was 47%. This is looking like a bad battery i think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
I flashed the kanged gapps and also use swiftkey (not google keyboard) over night my device only used 10% of the battery's charge.

Is anyone experiencing slow charging, and wrong battery percentages even when charging the phone while its off? Just trying to figure out if my battery is bad, or its the rom. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
I had the same problem. It's like the battery notification stopped working after hitting 20%.

It's definitely not a bad battery because when I had that problem I tried it with the stock battery and my 2 hyperion extended batteries, and still had the same result. It fixed itself after I flashed the 11-18 build. I clean flashed, and restored my apps from the play store and manually set everything up. The only thing I restored from rom toolbox was my text messages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve97ta:
Haven't had that problem at all, on the latest build running the BMS kernel

Try going into Advanced Wifi settings and uncheck "Scanning Always Available" I noticed this kept my Wifi on no matter what. Looks like your keyboard is pulling data from that. Just a possibility but see if it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Wow... that's a TON of data too. I wonder if the new keyboard do what SwiftKey does and use cloud storage to save personal dictionaries and preferences. That could be a hang up. Did you see the same data drain after a reboot? If so, that could indicate a wonky app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
I am running the 11-18 build heh. The problem was that my battery was actually lower than 20%, but it told me it was at 20%. My phone was off and was charging and it was still charging slow, it went up about less than 10% in 30 minutes. I shut it off and pulled the battery, and plugged it back in, and it jumped to 50%. So looks like my issue is a bit different than yours, and i really think my battery is bad now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteBoy997:
That's been a known issue with these Kitkat nightlies. I use SwiftKey, and only use the aosp keyboard when I need emoji in certain apps.
