I installed [MENTION=268386]blade[/MENTION]'s version of CM11, and downloaded the stock Kitkat GoogleHome.apk, and it's running actually insanely smooth for what it is. I actually have no problems at all with the features I use consistently. I'll miss the trackpad wake until (if ever, cuz I have no idea) it gets implemented, but I've gotten used to the volume rocker wake.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
I'm using Nova launcher, which works great for me:) so if apex doesn't suit you.. ;)

UI of gmail is fine, it's opening mails that gives a black square instead of the content of the mail. Same goes for default browser ( I've always used opera classic so no problems there), but also nu.nl and WoT assistant don't work... probably using some libs from the browser..

Tried to switch from Dalvic to ART yesterday and my phone wouldn't boot past the Cyanogenmod screen... because of Whatsapp?

whats is the difference between Dalvic and ART?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MissyVixen:
i do have a question regarding this rom.

Since this is a new Build, has the sound handling been re-worked ?

in 4.1+ ( andromodus, flinny and neverru's, slimbean etc) on our phones the audio quality is terrible. Through the ear piece, the speaker, and the jack, it makes no difference all the sounds are heavily distorted.

They sound as if they are being over driven even below 25% volume, crackling, and sometimes makes stuff pretty hard to understand. I even had complaints from people that i called stating that it always sounded like i was making an ancient VIOP call, so i assume it affected the microphone pickup as well.

Has this been fixed on kitkat or your 4.3 JB ?

The OP's last build of 4.2 ran perfectly, as speedy as CM7, but it had this same Audio issue making it a pain to use.

curious to how you got gmail to work if that exists.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Tried blades files with no joy. Gmail still has a black screen. I'm using 4ext recovery. Has that something to do with it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerNetzreporter:
I have the same sound issues, its hard to understand the people I am talking with. With OLD sense-roms this problem wasnt present.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adknight87:
I doubt the recovery for my case its something with how webview shows content.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MissyVixen:
Any rom 2.2 up to 4.0 is fine. Sense or not, stock or not, CM or aokp Based. on 4.0 AOKP and mimicry it is not there either.

But once you step to JB or beyond the sound goes to crap. some people complain, others dont seem to notice. But no one ever seems to have any answers. To me, it is the same sort of issues as pulse audio does in debian 6. Just ff sounding, tin can, full of crackles > almost like a digital version of the "can-and-string" walkie-talkie you played with as a kid.

Edit :

As a note, the sound issues happen both on the phone.apk, and on skype calls too. No matter the music player i use it sounds bad, even removing the dsp manager and stuff to see if that was what was breaking it. Nothing i try on 4.1+ seems to make a difference on the sound quality.

Help ?

Can anyone confirm GPS not working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
Hey mates, sorry for late respond (i'm learining for an important exam right now).

You are right. I only tested to load up gmail, NOT open up a single mail!!! I too have got blackscreen while open up a message. It has nothing to do with recovery or similar. Its just the webview-component used by some applications (like the stock-browser).

I have regular problems with GPS getting fix.

Work-around:

Run GPS Status & Toolbox, go to Tools -> A-GPS Management -> Reset (Soft reset of GPS)

Put the phone to open sky

If it does not help, download vision_wipe_efs tool.

Wipe partitions 13 and 14 using that tool or using the superuser shell (Hard reset of GPS)

Put the phone to open sky

It always helped to me, but the problem with GPS repeats again after several days, especially in the car.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
just tried, doesn't help,

it isn't that it cant get a lock, I think it doesn't even recognize/init the gps module. Just as with the mobile data problem in the 10.2 rom, a gps icon appears (on the left side of the status bar) and immediately disappears again.

Igo doesnt show any gps sats and tells me that it is looking for GPS devices
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utx:
No, I did not see that problem. My problem is just getting GPS fix worse and worse over the time.

Could it be an issue of a different radio? My one is the latest stock GB WWE 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
On CM11 everything works except... AOSP Browser: black screen for everything, Instagram: black screen for notifications and Google Search als black screen, and also OK Google does not work for me. From a full wipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
strangem I'm using the exact same radio rom (for ages;)) never had gps problems before, just on the CM11 rom

I also notice that some apps fail to install and phone hangs.. xda app for example
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prairie-dad:
Giving up for now...

...unless somebody can tell me something obvious I'm doing wrong, I'm going back to NeverGone's last 10.1 build for now. Just too many issues with 11.0:

couldn't read mail with Gmail client, or K-9, or AquaMail...so what other third party client is likely to serve? Not the stock Email, surely!

Didn't have good luck with Opera Mini and reading my mail through the web interface rather than a client.

Lots of nerve-wracking issues with SuperUser...or the combo of SuperUser and Titanium Backup. When I restored backed-up apps that I'd been using in 10.1, many didn't come across at all, and in the oddest ways...all apps with the first letter "C" in their names weren't restored, for example! A pop-up from Titanium says that if it shows odd behavior with Android 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs, try switching to SuperSU (as opposed to ChainsDD's app, I guess; at least that's what I had.) So, I tried to move to SuperSU...and that didn't work at all...and getting back to where ChainsDD's app worked was a little scary...apps kept insisting that my device wasn't rooted.

And, no amount of turning "gesture" typing on and off and rebooting made any difference...I couldn't "swype" in either guest1's or Blade's versions...even though the keyboard prefs offered the possibility.

So for now I am sticking with 10.1, and hoping that a more complete CM 11 will be with us shortly...my faith in NeverGone and the rest of the community is very great! And if anybody has any thoughts on these questions, especially the superuser issues I encountered, I'd love to hear back.

thanks to all,

p-d
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adknight87:
There's a issue with the graphics working with the new webview code that was apart of the chrome webkit that utilizes how to display web content in a frame. Any app that uses webview fails because of features not available. Run adb logcat -C and see for yourself. The apps themselves run it's missing features that the code calls for from the binary graphic drivers suppplied. I'm a complete noob at this but I can see there's an issue with that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] akamarukiba:
Does anyone else have the problem, that switching the network mode through Quick Settings does not work properly with CM 11?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bonusbartus:
Try opera classic instead of mini, works great ;)

as for SuperSU, I've got it working by setting grant permissions, from "ask" to "grant" or whatever its called in the english UI... hate my dutch ui but too lazy to switch ;)

can't get any life in the gps receiver though, still the only one here? or doesn't anyone use gps?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
For the GPS problems, i wonder if the rom has defaulted to some other AGPS server. Get fasterGPS app, and check/change your AGPS data server address according to where you are.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
I've had no GPS issues at all (but only using it for maps and navigation). If it is that worse, you could try this:

For the Browser Problem: There are two operas in the store and as mentioned before use the 14,68MB version. Works flawlessly :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser

For the Email-problem, you have to ask someone else here, because I dont use emails on my phone.

For the superuser problem: I had no problems at all with granting root premission for i.e.File-Manager (Did you do a clean wipe? Data, Cache, Dalvik?)

Perhaps your titanium is messing around with some files. Try a clean wipe without using titanium for restore.

Altough i use it as a daily-D its not ment to be. This is just a sneak preview, and we all know that Nevergone will bring out his work soon.

So please have a little patience
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revanmj:
Yeah, but Operas won't fix issues with WebView in apps. I can't even login to Google because of this (with 2 step verification it loads a web page with login form). So I wait for a fixed WebView.

I'd say there should be a fallback for graphic support.

Thanks guys to bring KK to my very old device :)

For me KK / CM11 is work very well, I have everything works: 3G, Wifi, GPS, SU, Gmail...

I have install full gapps - pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip and all work great.

Some problems:

- Titanium Backup: I have restore some apps and it make my phone hot reboot, restore <=5 apps at same time help a little, and problem look like gone away after I set IO schedule to noop.

- Look like webkit engine has problem when render web page with new graphics driver, always got black instead of content, but when in tab preview mode, I can see the content.

- Wifi sometime problem and it can not turn on again from Airplane mode or after hot reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 11mariom:
Are you shure? Have you check message or just looked that list of mails renders?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adknight87:
there's no hope for webview at this moment, Curious to the source for cm11.0 I can't figure out what he's doing to build it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raymondllr:
Any mirror for downloading kitkat？ coz i can't download from the link in the Op. Thx！
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
Confirmed, Gmaill content got black also, since it is using webkit view to render it's content, I was not check content because I'm using Gmail Checked on Chrome on my laptop.

Email and Browser black content caused by webkit renderer which may related to new graphic api or something like that. So Opera, Dolphin, Chrome or any web browsers which using Webkit to render the content will affect by this issue. I think we can try some another Web Browsers which use it's own web engine like: Firefox and some other but I don't remember yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adknight87:
Chrome is actually working for me

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
So, I think Chrome use same engine similar with Desktop version, it is slightly different with Webkit, that's why it work.

I was not use Chrome on Desire Z anymore from last time I installed it, because it is heavy and laggy on old devices. Anyway, thank for reporting, I will give it a try :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] manveruppd:
Thanks Nevergone, 10.2 works great! :) It's a little bit slow but that's to be expected from such an old phone, but it runs everything with only the occasional application crashing (Android itself almost never hangs, I've had only 3 reboots in the week I've been testing it). It even runs Ingress! :victory:

Only 1 bug I've been having: mobile data will almost never switch on by itself. To get it to work I have to go into settings/data usage and switch mobile data off and on again multiple times. Sometimes I'll get HSPCA for a split second and then it'll switch off again, other times it'll be nothing. When it eventually starts working everything is fine, rock-solid 3G in all apps, but I have to jump through hoops for it to work. Double and quadruple-checked my APN settings, and tested my SIM in another phone and it works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
There's a build.prop edit a few pages back that fixes this; I'm on my phone or I'd dig it up for you but a simple search should find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
No need to edit build.prop as Google Chrome work well on my phone. Firefox crashed.

I've read that this is the CyanogenMod fix for black webview - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54291/. But it has been merged to repo back in November so I don't know why this bug is still here on Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Apparently we will need ION memory allocator to eliminate this bug.

I hope to make a working build soon, I've collected (probably) all needed changes.

Need to sort them out and update our repos accordingly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Are you kidding?

I would have donated a hard drive for you.

A 2TB hard drive costs what 80 bucks?

Deleteing your old CM builds from a dev point of view is one of the worst things you could have done.

Not to be mentioned GDrive/Skydrive/MEGA/etc....

I mean yeah you are a great developer, I have no doubts in that (I or anyone) but doing something as stupid as deleting old builds and/or removing your build configuration because you have no space left on your SSD is simply stupid.

Im sorry: It just pisses me off when inteligent people to stupid things.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jacakk:
Which version of KitKat are you working at? 4.4 (.0) or maybe newer eg. 4.4.2?

4.4.2, the latest one that's in CM repos.

I use cm-11.0 branch which gets these minor updates as soon as they're merged in AOSP :)

Oh....God, i dont understand, why are you being so hard on every developers around here. You are a senior member, just keep your dignity. His builds are still available in google drive. He just changed his build environment for ANDROID KITKAT. Which we all know is a bit different than other android versions.

And about his SSD, its costlier than HDD. So if your really wanna donate, then please go on.

Please dont hurt someones feelings.

Thanking you.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kruze:
I guess the title pretty much sums up my question :) but just to let you know what I've done so far I'll explain fully.

I've been dropping my audio files into the 'Rings' directory for my ringtones without problem. I can then assign these with Start-->Settings-->Phone.

However my dilemma arises when I wish to use a personal audio file as my incoming SMS tone. I've tried copying these to both 'Rings' and also to 'My Music' (although anywhere would be ok I'm sure?). When I try to select an audio file from Start-->Sounds & Notifications-->Notifications I can't see any of my audio files in the 'Event' list to choose for 'Messagin: New Text Message'.

Can you help? Thx in advance.

ROM : 1.40.00 WWE

Radio : 1.12.00

EXT : 1.40.176 WWE
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MrPhilly:
Try reading the instruction manual..

Start\Sounds & Notifications\Notifications Tab\

User drop down menu to get to Messaging: New Next Message.. Make sure the 'Tick Box' is filled in and use drop down menu to change sound.

If you desire a custom sound, put custom .wma sound into "Windows" on PPC.

Hope this helps..?

Cheers!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kruze:
After searching for the present notification samples (namely Alarm1, Alarm2 etc...) and finding these within the windows directory of the handset I simply decided I'd store my audio files in the 'Windows' directory to see if they appeared in the 'Event' list.

Tada! I now have funky audio files for my incoming SMS tone. Hope this helps anyone else having difficulty with this problem.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kruze:
Try reading my post :P j/k

As I mentioned I can change the Event sound for Windows actions but I want a personal audio file to be used instead. I since worked it out but you managed to get your reply in before I posted mine :D

I haven't got a manual btw it was an eBay PDA2K purchase and came with no manual :( a little annoying being a PPC noob but easy enough to use anyway. Just need to find some regedit tools now and see what's really under the bonnet!

Thx for your reply btw ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MrPhilly:
It's not got everything but try here.. It's on the T-Mobile UK site..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kruze:
The online manual is VERY HANDY, thanks for that link *bookmarked*

I'll probably d/l the pages and reference images to use offline incase T-Mobile suddenly decide to remove the pages one day (knowing my luck this week).

I'm actually unable to register fully with http://www.clubimate.com as the PDA2K is pre-owned and consequently I need to pay $59.99 to get access to updates and downloads. Which unfortunately for me includes manuals and ROM upgrades. So again I can't thank you enough for the MDAIII link ;)

You are a star!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MrPhilly:
I wouldn't worry about the clubimate registration as, if required, an i-mate ROM update would proabably be posted in here..

Regarding the Manual, it's probably best to made it usable off-line as I'm not too sure how long the On-line manual will be available.. They've recently stopped selling the MDA3, you know!

Enjoy the BA!

Cheers!

Hey, guys, I've been happy using my original nook rooted for several years now. My wife just got me the new nook with Glowlight.

Is there any hope of this thing being rooted? Is there any ongoing development toward that?

...in the washing machine, for the full cycle! :mad:

But it survived!!

I discovered it in the washing machine the other night while looking to charge it. So I took it out of the case and shoved it in a box of Minute Rice we had in the cupboard and let it sit there overnight. The battery was dead when I got home from work earlier that day so I wasn't worried too badly. Anyway, I took it to work and disassembled it (thanks iFixit), washed all the parts in 91% isopropyl alcohol, and put everything in a bag with rice for a few hours. I'm a mechanic and have a lot of side projects so this wasn't out of the ordinary for the other guys.

I started assembling the phone, cleaning the rice dust off as I went. I plugged it in before I put the back cover on just to see if it would charge; lo and behold the screen flashed on with the animated battery icon! It powered on just fine, so on went the back cover. Everything else checked out as it charged. The only issue is the screen discolored around the edges... Oh well. After the whole ordeal, I'm just happy it works. :)

TL;DR- N4 went through wash cycle. disassembled and cleaned, works fine, but screen discolored.

Also, would have been cool if you called your phone while it was spinning! and got it in video! (good for the n4 community! haha):laugh:
