Why is it not recommended to go from 4.3 to 4.4 kit-kat?

In preparation for CM11, I updated to the latest TWRP beta (flashed it using ADB)

I then made a backup of my 10.2 (12/01) nightly build.

Edit:

I then flashed the CM 11 11/30 nightly build right over CM 10.2 and flashed gapps-kk-20131113

I wiped davlik/cache and rebooted - all seems well.

I keep reading from this thread to not update from 10.2 and am wondering why?

Assume I was on 4.3 and got an OTA update to 4.4.

Would this be a similar case where I would be upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 without a fresh or clean install?

So far so good and its blazing fast.

Am I missing something?

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I installed this dialer and have not really used it yet.

I am waiting for a phone call to see the caller info.

I did see the callerID settings in the menu.

That makes it different than the stock dialer.

Now I have 2 dialers app (dialer and Google dialer), both named "Phone" - so when I get a call, which one is being used?

My better sense tell me to un-install the stock one - but I only want to disable it for now - just to test.

So I disabled "dialer" for now and waiting for a call to confirm CallerID is working.

Thanks for posting this app.

Just to clarify MMS does not work in general correct? Because I still need to turn on my data to send and receive MMS either it be Hangouts or the regular Messaging app. Also is it safe to use ART or just stick to dalvik runtime?
[HTC Droid DNA] nsmal24:
Where did you get the twrp beta?

Edit: found it way back there
[HTC Droid DNA] maxjivi05:
ART works but is buggy and some apps are not compatible which makes it aggravating for me so I stay away from it until they get the bugs worked out.

MMS requires data to send or receive because it uses data to send it over even though you don't get charged data it does require it on to work.
[HTC Droid DNA] durgis:
Amazing battery life, thanks for the great work.

Is anyone else getting a horrible data signal, usually around my house its at about 2-3 bars now I'm at like .5-1

So far so good! Although the stock messaging app doesn't work at all. I open it and it hangs for a few seconds until the screen just goes black

Edit: Never mind. Apparently hangouts is the new stock messaging app
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
Works fine here. Did you wipe everything?
[HTC Droid DNA] jailbird2:
Settings->Wireless & Networks->More->Default SMS App

You can change it to Messaging there. I don't use Hangouts at all (in fact I removed it), but Messaging works great for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] huntb:
Awesome thanks! It works after doing this but I had to reboot. After the reboot I can use this to switch between stock messaging app without having to reboot again
[HTC Droid DNA] jailbird2:
Since I can't get the built-in AP Hotspot to work, I tried the ol' faithful root Wifi Tether app. Strangely on Sense ROMs AP mode works great with it. In CM11, I can only get it to work using AdHoc. Seems like something in CM11 is breaking AP mode, which probably explains why the built-in AP Hotspot isn't working right either.
[HTC Droid DNA] mjpitts:
Anybody else having problems with Wifi with the latest build? It says failed to connect for everyone I try to connect to.
[HTC Droid DNA] d3xt3rlab:
If you tried to enable wireless display that will mess wifi completely and you can't turn it off because it's disabled and says wifi is off, only solution I found is wipe and don't use wireless display at all.

Have you tried a clean install. I use the built in ap all the time without issues.

Isn't the "Okay Google" feature a hardware-dependent Nexus 5 exclusive? I haven't checked out any other CM 11 threads, so I'm not sure if that was ported from the N5-exclusive launcher or not.

here's a screen shot of my OK Google working perfectly.

I have the OK Google option. I have since I started using the Google launcher. I haven't had any issues calling or txting are you guys Verizon users? I also haven't had any issues with Google play.
[HTC Droid DNA] djelement1:
I did notice that if you pick "launcher 3" as your launcher instead of the Google home launcher the "ok Google" feature doesn't work. Seems like the "ok Google" feature is dependent on the Google home launcher.

@amit_sen

What differences have you noticed between compiling JB and KK?
[HTC Droid DNA] Sambena:
Google wallet tap and pay

From what I have read tap and pay should work on any kit kat rom. I have tried to install google wallet and tap and pay is disabled.

I am wondering if I change the build.prop to HTC one, if tap and pay will work.

Has any one done this or is there more to it then tricking the wallet app into thinking you have an authorized phone to get tap and pay to work?
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
It is dependent on that launcher and that's the one I'm using.
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
What recovery you used? This is how I flashed from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and has been flawless
[HTC Droid DNA] djh816:
sms working fine here (VZW). also for anyone curious, ART runtime works great with op's gapps and has very good app compatibility in general. there's a thread on xda somewhere.

Edit: Only thing I feel is missing is the "Buttons" section of settings to remap long press hold of recents. But that will come with time :] Thanks for the great build, everyone involved!
[HTC Droid DNA] durgis:
Used the recovery from the second post, CWM 6.0.4.5, which needed to be flashed manually using fastboot.

Poor camera quality

Has anyone noticed poor image quality with the default camera?

[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Tired this out and it feels slower than 4.3.1. Glad we have kit kat!!!! Looking forward to the future. BTW I dirty flashed and no problems.
[HTC Droid DNA] johnwaug:
Crazy great work amit. Been running since posted. DD for sure. I haven't found any issues yet. I did have to install the photosphere camera but everything else smooth as can be. Thanks for making my phone cutting edge again. I knew the hardware was awesome when I bought at launch however the developers are the ones that have made this phone great.

I used the theme choose and installed a red theme. Everything worked except the battery and clock part of the theme.

Smooth, No FCs Yet, GPS Working on GSM

Using DNA on GSM, flashed ROM, GAPPS and GSM patch earlier today, no hiccups. Smooth, no FCs. I did a full wipe.

Google Now works, "OK Google" commands work from stock launcher.

GPS works as well (screenshot from indoors). I'll keep it as my daily for now and see how it goes.
[HTC Droid DNA] thekidmoon:
I dirty flashed and it was slow also, but once I tried a clean flash it become faster than cm 10.2

I will try it out! Def waiting for CP to release a kernel! I miss the HTC Color Enhancement!
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
This is an alpha build. The most important thing is to get all BASIC functionalities working, which are working.

Then moving onto custom features we love tinkering with.

I personally think its a DD for me.

It a MUST that you clean flash this build. You are changing android version from 4.3 to 4.4 and you are dirty flashing and then commenting that it feels slow :eek::eek:

Glad that you are njoying the rom :thumbup:

Currently no theme is fully compatible with cm11 theme chooser. Give some time it will be ;)

Glad that you are njoying the rom :thumbup:

For me its a DD as well. Dont know how people are getting issues/fc with it if they follow the instructions to T :confused:

Clean flash is MUST

[HTC Droid DNA] brennam7:
Probably doing something wrong. What version of CWRM are you using? Make sure you're using the one from the 2nd post. If it stilll fails, i'd try to download again. I downloaded it, dirty flashed over the last build, liking it so far. No more double texts!

On a side note, when i try to open an incognito window in the stock browser it crashes.

I finally figured it out - its not obvious.

You need to click on the button that displays all the recent apps

Then there's an image (with 3 small white lines) on the the top right corner of the screen just below the status bar.

When you touch it, it clears all the apps :eek:

Has anybody successfully used Google Wallet + NFC to pay using these builds?
[HTC Droid DNA] jasoraso:
I tried about 10 days ago - it didn't work; I haven't tried with the more recent builds.

From what I understand, AOSP 4.4 does create a "Hardware Secure Element", however it only has the driver for a Broadcom NFC chip, and unfortunately the DNA (and the majority of devices) don't use the Broadcom NFC chip. Sounds like it is a licensing issue for the chip that the DNA has. Maybe somone will write a driver?

[HTC Droid DNA] Phibernaut:
I'm seeing pulldown menu flicker issues and an odd security certificate warning when installing Foxfi WiFi hotspot on the latest build.
[HTC Droid DNA] times_infinity:
Seems like once or if they get an update driver that can do HCE without a secure element for NXP NFC chips, then everything should work no problem.

Also, to get GPS locks do I have to flash back to Sense, open up a GPS app, then immediately boot into recovery and reflash CM11 or is there a more efficent way to do it?
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Foxfi always requires that
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Download fastergps from the play store, it's worked almost every time for me.

Also in my experience if you do end up having to flash a sense ROM, you don't have to reinstall cm from scratch. Just restore your backup.

[HTC Droid DNA] d3xt3rlab:
I'm on cmw and no luck
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
The size of the first nightly looks too small. It's probably a bad build. Without having looked at it, I would guess it is missing all the vendor libs so you'll just need to wait for the next one to see if it comes out right.

Well the call and root problem was related with Dalvik and ART. They dont work on ART. But I guess CM11 suffers from same problem as CM10.2 and i.e., mic wooes in google now, hagouts, and other voip service and recurrent bluetooth music skipping/pausing.

Also, I cant seem to install or restore whatsapp. Installing from play store says error 24

[HTC Droid DNA] IcyAgitator:
Reflash ROM.

Recovery wipe and format:

/data

/system

/cache

/dalvik

Do not format /sdcard

Flash ROM and reboot

After first boot to home screen change sim settings to sim

Optional - Change dalvik to ART. Device will automatcally reboot. You will need to re-root the device with supersu 1.69 after reboot

Boot to recovery. Flash gapps. Wipe cache and dalvik.

Reboot.

That is how did it.
