I've found that using any kernel other than stock causes major problems. When I used Franco I would get reboots like 20 times a day as well as general performance issues and poor battery life. Since I switched back to stock I've been having none of those problems. Maybe give stock a try!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesebastian:
- Install again the rom and latest dhacker's gapps

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe dalvik cache.

- Don't install 3rd party kernels!

- reboot.

ps: use latest CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banditnich:
What you mean dalvik? clear dalvik?

I never successfully use TC... everytime it loads a module there's a null error... what did you choose for the closest kernel?

the mpokang superram didn't work for me.... still using PGM with no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axlrvx:
So, only works with CWM Recovery? Not for TWRP?

Sorry for the noob question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
It works with TWRP too. You just need the latest one i.e. 2.6.3.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WythDryden:
It didn't for me and I am on that version. About to switch to cwm to see if that changes it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
No Offense, but screw butt dialing. ;)

I've not gotten that on mine and I get a few calls a day at least.

+1, dat wipe/factory reset not always needed if just updating from one build to the latest.

And Happy Bird Day!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banditnich:
latest cwm or twrp will do just fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm no fan of either of the kernels I mentioned, to be absolutely honest. I go the Lean way, but I guess each one has its own merits, or overlapping merits :P That was more of an fyi for those looking for it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
yea np, I enabled what I was asked to in the kernel so modules or whatever could be used, but tester said they still werent working. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScardracS:
my stability test. i think it's very good for a nightly rom like cm11
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WythDryden:
Hmm, failed in latest cwm too. Either a bad download or maybe toro specific issues..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardalaan:
flashed latest version + gapps provided in the first link

the problem is with the google sync it says that can not find a reliable connection to sing in !

i tried another gapps + Dalvik and ART both has this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Oh, it isn't your fault. And it's been rectified by the developer of the said app. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
About franco kernel. Are you using 4.4 version? You must go to present directory in his server and then go to 4.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
nope franco kernel r394 doeant work wd cm11. Someone posted a fixed version of it in the franco kernel thread. Use that for cm11
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razi914:
Cant find it, please point it out

Very easy, in order to fix TTS you have to delete GoogleTTS.apk from /system/app with root explorer (for example) and then redownload Google TTS from the play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
TTS is what makes GNow, Maps etc talk right?? All of which has been working fine for me. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagl0312:
I forgot to say that it crashes when using ART runtime, others are also reporting it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Google Now talking perfectly to me. On ART
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kergefarkas:
Thanks, I can confirm if you have TTS crashing on ART this will solve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
For me everything talked perfectly, only Google translate had crashes of Google tts. Turned out that everything else used pico tts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Just tried Google Translate (English to Hindi). The phone spoke Hindi perfectly.

Anybody experiencing wakelocks with exchange accounts and std mail app?

Running build 1125 with gapps from 1119.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
That's the app's problem. Happens on Jellybean too.

Only reason why I have stopped using it and have synced my exchange accounts to the Gmail inbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enlothien:
Hey man, awesome rom. I don't find any issues except 3 things.

1. Battery seems to drain really fast. Down 10% in 15 minutes.

2. Google Calendar doesn't sync. Pretty much everything viewable from Web calendar is not feeding into the phone calendar. The same with the calendar from the playstore. Keep getting unable to reach Google server.

3. Minor glitch in taking screenshot.

Perfect so far. New breath of air to the GNex.

2 just delete calendar from system app and install it from play store :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectre85:
quick question, if I flash this rom, when the offical version becomes available will I just be able to push the ota via settings like usual?? or will I have to manually wipe and manually install and official nightly?

Thx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Latter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
You will probably be able to just update ota, unless there is some big change. Only time will show.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Factory reset wipes dalvik cache anyway, no need for both an latest TWRP 2.6.3.1 works better than CWM an works with kitkat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
I use mpokangs's 1080p kernel and the 11/26 build with Banks Gapps and I have zero issues because I fully wiped my phone before upgrading.

Try doing a wipe and using good Gapps like those made by Banks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
It's a delicate matter which is better, TWRP or CWM, so please don't post such comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Well I have timed the time it takes to backup an restore with both TWRP & CMW an TWRP completes the process a lot quicker an I find the UI a lot nicer on TWRP, just my thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lawk:
How do I install the lib files that someone posted here to get Panorama working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
That is all a matter of opinion. CWM has always worked fine for me. ;)

This ROM is really great. Very fast, stable and just amazing (also love it has Quiet Hours!). The only graphical issues still present for me are when taking a screenshot.

But I envy those that show their battery life. I get good battery life, but when on WiFi. When I'm out, with mobile data on only, it lasts 5-6 hours, more or less, with little use (less than 1h of screen time). I'm using Mpokang's SuperRam v10 with stock settings. Any advice? :)

Also! Does anybody use UC Browser? I've been using it for a while, but since I installed this ROM it no longer works. I tried to see if maybe it was an issue with 4.4, but not I'm not so sure. It doesn't crash or anything like that, just shows a blank-light blue background when opening any webpage, so I can't really browse the web.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sheetzie03:
Check out out Neph's kernel setting thread and turn off location reporting if it's on.:)

Hey! :) I disabled location reporting since I installed this ROM. And by the way, there doesn't seem to be any app particularly draining my battery, since Better Battery Stats partial and kernel wakelocks seem normal.

I'll check that thread!

Oh, OK, I'll try that as well!

Thank you both for your advice! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
Not sure if this was asked already, but I just saw on my brother's Nexus4 he has a feature in the dialer called NEARBY PLACES, this lets him search anything and dial directly from the dialer... wondering if this feature might be coming to our CM11. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kitaco:
Has anybody notice that Navigation now only says "turn right" "turn left" and no longer street names or highway exits? I don't like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
thats a feature in GooglePhone. ;)

other than that, its plausible. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
I'm very happy with this rom as the features which I needed are working properly and mostly all the graphic glitches are gone! In the last build I tried, Google Now wasn't working so I switched back to CM 10.2.

But now no problem at all! I'm just having one problem, I'm unable to add widgets on my lockscreen, even though I have enabled the option in Settings. That's not a big deal but it would be great if there is any solution.

I hope you'll soon add the 'Expanded Desktop' in the future builds as I use it a lot while playing games. And also if we can search contacts via the Phone app (KitKat feature).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Google Now works perfect for me, this is my daily driver, rom & phone. Make sure to be using Launcher w/ blue icon and not launcher3. ;)

Lockscreen, yea I know but the options to set widgets on the lockscreen isnt there yet, being worked I presume. ;)

Expanded Desktop prolly being worked on as well.

Search Contacts via the dialer is a GooglePhone feature, not kitkat itself. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joytsay:
When locking the screen directly in the camera app,

it sometimes makes the camera turn black,

have to reboot the phone to get the camera working again.

Also there's this bug since Jellybean,

if you swipe from right into the camera lockscreen widget, you get this instant unlock glitch (skipping the fade in animation when you unlock).

Small things, but it'll be great if it get fixed in future builds. Thanks PlayfulGod!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
I assume it means only N4 and N5 and all unofficial ROMS don't have access to it? How come?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_zero9392:
Anyone know how to disable 180 Rotate ?? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randommmm:
I would love to have a taste of kitkat, but those graphics glitch you guy talking scared me off. Can someone describe what exactly "glitch" likes and how often it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
All glitches have been fixed. Only one left is the screenshot animation. But the screenshot is NOT affected. It turns out fine.

You can flash without worries ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randommmm:
thanks.

downloading.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
Don't get scared buddy. Give this rom a try, you'll surely like it.

The glitches were nothing but some minor errors which used to occur for 1-2 secs. But now, as [MENTION=5056454]sd3993[/MENTION] said they have been fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
Its a gapp not on the store yet, only available in official AOSP on Nexus's & GE devices. Not seen any news on it being added to the store either. But I have attached it to this post. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
A question for all ART users here:

I selected ART almost 8-10 days back. It had asked me to reboot and after reboot optimized all my apps.

Everything worked flawlessly. Today when in Developer Options I noticed that 'Use Dalvik' is written. Is this normal?

Even after selecting ART does Dalvik stay as the visual text in select runtime?

Also when I choose Use ART now, it reboots and straightaway boots into the lockscreen ie no optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
So will this file work on our GNex? I'll give it a try in a few hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
mine shows Use ART from the developer options and when selected it has Use ART ticked.

I've not tried it on mine yet, but as long as there are no other dependencies files I dont see why it wouldnt. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
What happens when you tap on it? Is ART checked or is Dalvik checked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd3993:
That happened to me too. Are you using a custom kernel? I was using ART too and it reverted to dalvik and couldn't switch back to ART when i flashed franco kernel r394.

mpokang1080 and the stock kernel that comes with this ROM have no such problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] standa75:
Same for me, I changed to art yesterday,I was waiting 20 minutes for optimisation and today is written dalvik under dev.options.even restart is quick. I guess it is normal :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kostas1601:
What's app works fine if you enable Dalvik instead of ART ;)

Great work with the ROM! Anyone getting any reboots yet?? This is indeed the biggest problem about 4.4 roms for maguro at this poirnt...graphic glitches are annoying, but as someone else also pointed out, I think we can live with them until some fix comes up...

The reboots on the other hand are killing me!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kitaco:
With "Launcher" not "Launcher3", the status bar has a very transparent black gradient. It is almost 100% transparent.

Anyway,

Everything on this rom is extremely smooth and has brought an entire new life to my galaxy nexus. 4.3 was laggy, unresponsive, and a very poor experience. 4.4 must be optimized much more than 4.3. Also, the location based cards work with the odex'd apps and ART,

CM11/4.4 is usable as a DD for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ursus777:
Give SlimKat a try … , sorry! :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeman1996:
I made it for myself for the latest build:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4hdggnbkkbexxw/lockscreen-transluscent.zip

Just flash it in recovery and nav and status bar will be translucent in lockscreen. In the unlikely case that it bootloops (it really is unlikely), just reflash the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rtfpessoa:
Can you post the links for all the external repos to build?

I tried some different and cannot make it boot. It compiles fine but bootloops..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edin.gacan:
Excellent ROM, great work OP! Installed it, and everything is smooth and fast. Installed some apps, and switched to ART (previously installed gapps for ART). Very smooth and fast, so far. Only ONE bad thing (besides graphic glitches) ... Google Search is crashing whenever I try to enter text to search, or using voice, with message: "Unfortenately, Google Search has stopped". I am using latest Google Search, version 3.1.8. DAE getting this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Justhim:
I've tried it with the SlimKat gapps version, but same Gmail problem (crash on opening email).

Maybe because I just flashed the zip and cleared the cache, is there more 'cleanup' required? Popups of crashed Google Search were also showing very often, so switching back to the pa version now..

Loving this rom, it's really the best kitkat rom I've tried so far. Only missing the cm features, but will wait for them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
I added links to the repo's I used and stated what to do (if any) next to the links. The rest is straight up CM on the cm-11.0 branch. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rtfpessoa:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
As soon as I saw your post, I went straight into Developer Options and verified that this thing has occured to me as well. Yesterday, I switched to ART and then flashed Mphokang 1080p kernel, which might be the reason behind this. And I'm too unable to select ART now.

I'll flash stock kernel, to get this problem solved. And now no flashing of custom kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Do let me know whether flashing stock kernel solves the problem or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
It won't install, do I just copy it to apps folder or is there something else needs to be done? I'm willing to test and let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Can anyone give a download link of the kernel included in the ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
He said reinstalling the stock kernel fixed it. ;)

I'll have to mess with it and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Cool. So as I asked in previous post, can you give a link to download it? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
Found this just now. Will test

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542081
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
you can pull it out of the rom zip and flash it with fastboot. ;)

I will try to toss a zip together with the stock kernel tho. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Its just a surface bandaid solution fix for the screen glitches such as the black boxes ect, you can still notice the lag an slight stuttering of screen when viewing webview applications with this rom.There is no proper fix yet unless somehow the drivers for gpu are updated for gnex.This is the best your going to get when it comes to kitkat on gnex for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
Unfortunately after setting correct permissions and reboot - if crashes on launch....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlayfulGod:
which applications would those be??? I'm not seeing them in the apps I use or when I mess with the stock Browser to test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
No, I actually meant "I will flash stock kernel to check whether it is the kernel that caused this problem."

But what I did is, a clean install of the rom and selected ART as runtime, it booted with ART successfully. Then after a while, I flashed Mphokang kernel 1080p and again optimisation took place. The device is still using ART runtime, so I think kernel is not causing the problem. I don't know what it is but from now I'll stick to stock kernel only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
It's not the kernel. I'm on stock kernel.

Installed the ROM. Selected ART. Booted fine after optimizing apps for almost 5 minutes. Installed Xposed Framework. Rebooted. Apps were optimized again. This time just around a minute. Checked the developer options and I was on Dalvik again.

So it's not the kernel. Maybe Xposed? Maybe GravityBox?

[MENTION=4661040]hemantv[/MENTION]: Did you have Xposed installed earlier?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razi914:
i feel lagging OR low fps rate in stock browser and also in dolphin,boat browser etc.. only firefox is fluid ATM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
Yeah, you're correct, I think. To get some of the features of CM which are not implemented yet in the rom, I had installed Xposed Framework + GravityBox.

This is what I found from the Xposed Framework thread -
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crowmaster:
Hi i realy like this rom, i was suprised that there are no visual glitches ! :good: but im here to ask - is there any solution to reduce lag on lockscreen? When i wake up phone animation is a bit laggy and when i take down notificaton bar it also lags a bit. And i dont know if this is an issue but when i turned off mobile transfer and turned it again it couldn't connect to 3g. I had to reboot my GNex.

Ouu and one more question. In 4.3 i had working gesture typing im my language but with updated keyboard it does not work. Is there any way to fix it? I have working 4.3 keyboard app i can flash it, but maybe there is a way to port these gesture settings? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razi914:
the lagging will go away after a day of use,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
In the settings/Lockscreen/Widget pager allows widgets in lockscreen.

Xposed reverts to dalvik. Otherwise it will bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Did you clear cache and dalvik when on ART before flashing Mpokang?

I'm afraid wiping Dalvik may enable Dalvik again. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hemantv:
I think those two things are different.

And yes, I did wipe cache and dalvik cache while installing the Mphokang kernel. And that doesn't affect anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markop90:
Xposed reverts the runtime back to dalvik, because it is not compatible with ART

Yes, it is totally a workaround for now. Yes, someone will have to pour over source code to find the root cause. No, I don't think new drivers are required since everything was dandy less than 2 months ago. :)
