Hey there Ville folks!

I'm posting in here as an Evita user (and PA-Legacy [uses CM11 base trees] maintainer for our phone) who watches this thread with interest because as I'm sure most of you know, intervigil commits most of the Evita stuff too these days.

Well, we've been having the same SOD/reboot/shutdown issues related to memory, and I've been keeping an eye on our common kernel GitHub, and it looks like all of the fixes we need have been merged in, and should be getting built into the newer nightlies: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8960/commits/cm-11.0

I really hope we get this issue fixed entirely soon!
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Thanks for the tip. I used to get more info from the Evita forum than here, but the mods just killed that one.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Just got two notification bar freezes. Recovered from both, but they killed everything, including BT.

Looks like it's not fixed yet.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

... And just got number three, didn't recover from it though.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Intervigil responded to my log email. He's thinking it's the new theme engine and is going to ping those guys... Apparently some fixes are in process...

Strange behavior after M6

Hardware buttons

- Home button not responding as normal.

- Recent app button not responding

- Back botton not responding

Interface

- Actionbar does not provide access to quickmenu (tiles anymore)

- Actionbar does not show any notifications anymore.

- Long press power doesn't show full menu, only standards (reboot, shutdown or when in dev settings activate: Screenshot).

I have reverted to 4th of May and 3rd of May version, still the same. (UPD: Even went to 2nd of May, still same as above).

I am on Recovery CW 6.4.0.8 since 1st of May.

Anybody else experienced this?

By the way, I find it annoying, something as switching to video in standard camera app, which causes the app to force close, isn't solved yet, but we get another 'Flashlight' app which doesn't give anything new.
[HTC One S] Patrick-Mav:
Tried the same, but ran into serious wake up lag issues. I now reverted back to included CM-M6 Kernel and the wake up lags are gone. But I miss dt2w.
[HTC One S] Finnit0:
Sounds like dirty flashes?

And well cm developes the rom at first and than people like intervigil, luckily port them to devices like our one S. So they don't really deciding what new apps/features are getting implemented if I am right?! So there are priorities like freezes or hot reboot's they fix first.

Though I have the camera bug as well, when on stock camera I get fc's changing between camera modis aswell. Googles camera works fine though.

Homebutton sometimes doesn't work for me too. But still figuring out when and if it's xposed related.

cheers Finn
[HTC One S] Navid-CR7:
I have installed Snapshot M6 with latest Icecode Kernel and i have notification bar freez. is there any solve for this bug?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Read back the past few pages.
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
I flashed M6 around 18 hours ago (but 8 of those past hours I was asleep ^^) and I've actually seen zero instabilies. Normally I take around 24 hours to judge because the moment I say it works, it all goes to hell, but as a response to your bugs, I don't think that's M6.

I've actually dirty-flashed M6 over the 4/12 nightly, which is risky but even without cleanly flashing it's been stable until now. Battery still seems to suck, but no more hanging, status bar freezes and unlocking not turning on the screen.

So why did you change recovery? I read something about fstab updates but I don't really get it. I'm still on the TWRP SELinux thing that was the only option to flash this for some time, and it works for me. You could try downgrading it again, I don't know if wrong recoveries can lead to hardware problems.
[HTC One S] bassilap:
You may have figured this out already. But if you go to the blacklist settings, you can check the option to use wildcards.

To block an area code, you would do xxx.*
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Thanks! You may be the only person in history to read more than the latest 3 posts in an xda thread.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
FYI, the Evita guys appear to be freezing the new theme engine files and that is solving the notification lockup problem, so anyone who is getting frustrated can hit up the Evita Q&A thread for the files to freeze.
[HTC One S] Navid-CR7:
[MENTION=5350204]ThomasHunter[/MENTION] :you mean if i install TWRP SELinux .notification bar freez will be fix?

[MENTION=2101224]el_smurfo[/MENTION] : should i install anything to fix that bug?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
He was referring to freeze the apk's on your phone (with TitaniumBackup or other ways) that are related to the new Theme Engine so that those lockups wont happen anymore. The guys from Evita tracked down the notif freeze issues and as everybody else consider that are caused by the new Theme Engine. So they "freeze" the Theme Engine to have a stable ROM...for now

I don't think you have to install anything, just an app with which you can "freeze" the Theme Engine

EDIT: Found the post in the Evita forum...you can read HERE what you need to freeze. Maybe will work for us too.
[HTC One S] maluus:
Anybody else having problems with flashing latest nightlies with new twrp 2.7.0.8? My notifications completely gone and I had to restore a previous backup. Notification bar (left part of the upper bar) and notification pane are both empty and app icons (like taskers or weather apps) are not displayed although I confirmed that all the apps are running or there should be new notifications.

PS: After reading the comments about theme engine was the cause of the freezes, may it be related to that I was removing apks for theme engine and maybe latest changes requires theme engine for notifications to work properly?
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
No, but [MENTION=2992064]maddehaan[/MENTION] had hardware button problems with the new CWM, so could those problems be related?

I'm still on the old one and I have zero problems right now.

I've been on M6 for 24 hours or so now and I really recommend it in terms of stability. My battery is better as well and I've only had the notification freeze, but I've frozen the themer things so I hope that'll be better now as well. Looks like I might be on M6 until M7 if this stays as stable. :)
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I've flashed about 4 CM versions since updating to 2.7.0.8. I'm now running 5/6 for 18 hours or so without any issues, lockups or otherwise. I'm also using the new theme choser and a mix of theme elements.
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Hm okay! Well, the stability in general seems to differ a lot from device to device. It was just that I heard two people complain about newer recoveries and no one about how they worked, until now ;)
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
There were problems running the recovery until it was discovered you may need to delete your old TWRP settings file. This resulted in the recovery not loading though, not corrupted CM installs. I had variable lockups and other issues, but have been lucky with 5/6...5/7 just came off the build, but it has a bunch of Kondik cowboy commmits, so I'll let someone else give it a test first ;)
[HTC One S] nespresso33:
Someone has a mirror for the latest TWRP unofficial please ?

nevermind, link is now working http://mdmower.cmphys.com/twrp-ville/
[HTC One S] grorg:
can you share theme choser with us please?
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
The theme chooser is in the latest nightlies and in Milestone 6. It's under Settings > Themes but the interface has been overhauled with a lot more options.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
OK, froze both of the apks mentioned in that thread using the 06 May nightly.

...and I just got a notification bar freeze about six hours later.

Sucks, guess it's not a fix.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Not officially released, and missing a few patches, but working well enough for me. Definitely don't report bugs (such as wallpaper selection crashing via theme chooser). Flash in recovery and you will have the new UI.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzfnnr8182hyudu/FlashNewThemeChooser-updated4-25.zip
[HTC One S] grorg:
Thanks. I'll try

Вот это поворот..!!!
[HTC One S] jwhittenburg:
Maybe a bluetooth fix

This looks interesting - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63499/

Maybe the bluetooth stuttering will be a thing of the past...
[HTC One S] nicknc:
You know, I never get it on my BT headphones-- only on my car receiver and a BT speaker I have. Curious.
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
Anyone experiencing double beeping while do A call and during call on latest nightly? :-\ this nightly reduced display on issue but beeping during talk is very annoying... :(
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Bug...fixed tomorrow

https://plus.google.com/117962666888533781522/posts/JXfLX7wyRuE

I knew passing on this nightly would be a good idea.
[HTC One S] larrycl:
No one else having this problem? There's a thread about it in the Evita forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2677842
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Submit a bug report. I think the FAQ for the provisional TWRP indicated that the TWRP team (is that redundant?) is building an official version to get us off this temporary one. If there is an adb issue, it would be good to get that fixed.
[HTC One S] benyto:
Has anyone found a way to reliably replicate the freezes some of us have been experiencing? They seem to be fairly random for me, sometimes not occurring for days on the same build and then happening out of nowhere. It'd be nice to have some method to determine whether or not this is fixed. I haven't had any freezes yet on 20140507 with heavy use all day. However, in my experience with recent nightlies, that doesn't mean a whole lot.
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
I just had spontaneous reboot. Last_kmsg is attached if anyone want to see it...

EDIT: second reboot while typing sms... 20140507 nightly... No such problems with 20140503 nightly.... :(

I will try 0506 version right now...
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
New Theme Chooser in tomorrow's nightly. Since using it, I get very few reboots or lockups and all recover back to lockscreen, so maybe it will help you all out.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
...or maybe not. ;)
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
20140506 version HAVE spontaneous reboots... :/
[HTC One S] Navid-CR7:
i have installed M6 with selinux and ice code kernel .i have freezed theme engine but notification bar freez still there
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
I have stock kernel, but yeah, it's kinda there. I have the idea that the chance the phone freezes, increases the longer I use it actively. Like, when I've read hundreds of tweets on Falcon Pro, it just gets very messy, while if I boot it up just to check my calendar or something, it just works.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
For me, it's the exact opposite. Go figure.
[HTC One S] nespresso33:
Now, we need a beautiful theme made for new theme engine.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Thyrus holo
[HTC One S] nicknc:
How about a completely black screen for the lock screen? Boot animation could be one of the cm logo looping over and over. Sounds could all be set to stutter every few seconds and the ringer could be very faint.

I think that would be a fitting start. ;)
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Yeah, what I figure is that stability is randomly between 1 and 99% when you flash the ROM right. :')
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Such a cynic. 5/9 running great for me since 11. New theme chooser lets you pick the best parts of some themes, without the dreadful wallpapers, sounds or fonts of others.
[HTC One S] larrycl:
OK, I reported it on the wiki page; is that the best place to make the bug report?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Yeah, that sounds about right. Have used my phone heavily for the past two days work no freezes.

Just picked it up after letting it sit for for hours and instantly got two freezes.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Someone had to be-- you've been so optimistic the past few weeks...
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
No other choice. I'm stuck with this phone until November, or until I come up with $300 and get over my annoyance with the oneplus marketing team
[HTC One S] antaine:
Hi there, it's been a while since I last posted here after one of my friend broke my screen ...

But as I was changing my screen I chose to also change my battery and I chose a 2100mah one from the One X+, but after I installed it I did not notice any battery improvement, I read in the accessories battery thread that a mod of the kernel is necessary to make android know I change my battery to a larger one and to benefit from my new battery.

Do you think it would be possible to integrate such thing in the kernel or to make something to detect the battery capacity ?

[HTC One S] Navid-CR7:
does notification bar freez fixed in latest nightly?
[HTC One S] grorg:
Yap, it is in a default.prop file (if I remember right, anyway you can decompile boot.img and search it in the files).

there is a line with battery capacity. But I can't say would it be enough or not.
[HTC One S] nespresso33:
Do you have any issue with GPS ?
[HTC One S] grorg:
No issues on latest nihgtly.

Вот это поворот..!!!
[HTC One S] nicknc:
You would need to run a custom kernel or submit a feature request through cyanogenmod. This is not the place for either, unfortunately.

I believe bubba kernel has that battery support.
[HTC One S] Albino_Mexican:
Notification sounds stop every now and then for me requiring a shutdown/start to restore. Reboot does not always fix it. Been a long standing issue for me across multiple nightlies and snapshots. When I have time I will try to get some log files to Intervigil.
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
I have a problem. About 3 or 4 minutes into a call I get an f/c & phone restarts. Very annoying. I'm on the current nightly (9/5) but this has happened on previous nightlies and M4 all on stock kernel.

I'm assuming that it's just me because I haven't seen anyone else reporting this issue.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
I just noticed that I missing HDR mode in Stock Camera. Do I miss something or what? Have we HDR at all in CM11?

PS. InCallUI process is broken in latest nightly (for me)...
[HTC One S] larrycl:
This has been a long-standing problem for me as well, and not just with this ROM. If I can help you debug in any way (log files, etc) just let me know & I'll help in any way I can.
[HTC One S] intervigil:
Progress on the SystemUI ANR/OOM:

Clark traced it down to native allocations in libskia. See:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63806/

He should be able to have a proper fix soon.
[HTC One S] benyto:
Thanks for the update.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Thanks for sticking with it!
[HTC One S] Patrick-Mav:
Same here. Had to revert back to M6.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
My rule stands... If there are cowboy kondik commits, skip it...

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63810/
[HTC One S] magnetboy:
I just had this same issue running M6. Phone vibrating on call/SMS, but no audible notification sounds.

I had all volumes set to maximum, then tried selecting different Ringtones in Sound Settings - this did not play the selected samples, as it normally does.

Rebooted phone. All back to normal.

Online, I have seen a comment that this may occur after listening to music/podcast on a headset. (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/89570-cm11-ringnoification-issue/). if this is the case for me then it does not happen every time I plug/unplug headphones (just tried it, all notifications still ok).

Thanks.
[HTC One S] Candlemass:
Hello, does this ROM support Bluetooth Low Energy (i.e. Bluetooth Smart) and more specifically, the GATT profile?

And if anyone could check it with this simple app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magicalboy.btd , I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] proudazzzm:
Can anyone suggest me which version batter to flash M6 (05/05) , experimental (05/03) or nightly and what are the difference between ?.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
The answer to both of these questions can be easily and quickly found on the cyanogenmod website.
[HTC One S] floppes:
Yes it does support BT LE (4.0) and it works perfectly with my Runtastic Bluetooth Smart Combo chest belt.
[HTC One S] thiasB:
Didn't worked for me a month ago. I had to to return the smart variant and ordered the standard variant which is working fine.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Incallui is working again.

Getting really good results with 12May and IceCode.
[HTC One S] Patrick-Mav:
Do you have some wake up lag with Ice?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
No, no negative side effects.
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Guys, the best of luck, after all the hassle with chronically unstable ROMs, I've decided to buy a Nexus 5. I'll probably try the next M-releases but aside from that I'm moving to the Nexus 5 subforum!

Not sure when I'm going to flash CM, but the irresistible moment will probably come soon ?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I'd definitely give some Xposed modules a try first...seems like a better option of picking and choosing your tweaks, without all the bloat. Good luck and hope to see you over there soon.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
My daughter lost her phone, so I will likely see you over there soon.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
That's OK...I'll just paint the back of my phone to keep me company until my contract is up in November.

Why don't you put cerberus or prey (or even use android device manager) on your kid's phone?
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Yeah, I'll definitely weigh my options before I'm going to tweak anything. Options enough!

What bloat though? My reasons for not flashing CM on day one have more to do with stability and fear of bugs (especially on a brand new phone, that attitude will change) than with bloat, I actually like CM's feature set.

Hm, sucks about the lost phone! So your daughter will get a Nexus then? Oh well, sounds like it's gonna get cosy up there!
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I only run CM because it's closest to AOSP and delete a ton of CM stuff. Apollo, DeskClock (or is it LockClock), CM Account, Whisperpush, DSP Manager, Trebuchet. I used to love running CM for the stripped down AOSP feel, but some of their new apps, like GalleryNext are just sooo opposite that original vision they might as well have come from Samsung. Every setting or tweak that distinguishes CM from AOSP can be done in Xposed...most with just GravityBox.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Because they don't work if the phone is off. She turns her phone off for some crazy reason and THEN takes it somewhere random and loses it. I have Avast on it with anti theft enabled, but it's pretty useless in this situation.

She would get this phone, so I'm not going away.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

I'm sorry I apparently gave you the impression that I'm insane. :)
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Ah yes, I agree with you on things like GalleryNext, I tried to get used to it but I just couldn't. On the other hand, I think the CM additions are subtle enough to be ignored. And whenever they replace an app, Google's app is mostly downloadable from the Play Store or still pre-installed.

Haha, you gave me a good laugh. Nah, I didn't know the current situation, could be that your daughter had the One S, I think there's also someone here that only maintains the One S for his wife? Could've been the same for you!

But half a day in, I really like the Nexus. I hope the battery won't disappoint, but it must be better than the One S's. :)
[HTC One S] nicknc:
One S ain't bad at all with a custom kernel...
[HTC One S] ThomasHunter:
Yeah, kernels were always, well.. Not a step too far, but something I didn't feel like investing time in. But maybe now I've switched to another daily driver it's worth a shot experimenting with that. :)
[HTC One S] Canard:
A few days ago I flashed M6, after running M4 for while (with a few reboots a week). I both flashed it with TWRP 2.7.0.0.

Now I read about the new fstab and I should have used TWRP 2.7.0.8 for flashing...

What are the side effects not using the newer build of TWRP?

I'm not happy with M6 at the moment, battery drains a lot faster, and it's just stable enough for me... but I'm not sure CM is the sole cause. Could this be a side effect?

[edit]

Mmm, only

nightlies

after May 1st are subject to the new fstab layout, correct?

[/edit]
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Check your changelog, but I believe it's only nightlies as you note. It would not have flashed or booted if updated recovery was required.
[HTC One S] Navid-CR7:
is there any new way to fix notification bar freez?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
No
[HTC One S] NGD1:
Hey how hard would it be to add things like darkui and performance back into the cm settings?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Just use a theme like Thyrus Holo Basic to theme the UI. Performance setting never left...there's even a quick tile for it.
[HTC One S] nespresso33:
Performance menu is unlocked in the same way as developper options.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Looks like the freeze issue is affecting a multitude of devices now, but they seem to have it almost completely narrowed down.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63806/

FWIW, it seems that Ville is not as heavily affected as some other phones.

The end is in sight. :)

---

I see now that tonight's nightly seems to include the patch set to fix the freezing. Hopefully this is it.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Doesn't look like their half of the required patch is merged yet...might be a few more days. Hard to believe it has languished this long, while other theme chooser commits kept coming.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
The question is whether the patch will arrive before my nexus does, Lol..
[HTC One S] larrycl:
This is happening to me more and more, to the point where repeated shutdown/starts would not fix it. Only way I fixed it today was to wipe the rom and reflash. After doing that, it still occurs, just not as often.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm >thisclose< to just throwing the towel in and buying a new phone.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Is it just happening on this ROM?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I feel like this or something similar is happening to me. I have it sitting next to me at work, and will often unlock the phone and find notifications which I was not alerted to. It's not permanent though, and a reboot fixes.

On another note, my frustration with this phone has had me searching out options. I contacted TMOUS and they would give me a $100 credit on a new phone, but that's it.

Anyone here using prepaid? Looks like I can get 2 lines, 200 minutes (I hate talking), 1GB for $45 on Consumer Cellular (ATT). Virgin is a bit more, at closer to $70 (Sprint), but both are less than the $100 I pay for 2 lines on TMOUS. For the savings, I'd have a Nexus 5 paid for in half a year...
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Virgin is abysmal for speeds AND they throttle. There are much better deals for $45 than that consumer cellular. Straight talk is much better for the same price and let's you choose between at&t or T-Mobile service.

Howard forums is pretty much the place to go to research carriers.
[HTC One S] larrycl:
Audio problem seems to happen on different roms; it's happened to me on stock, liberty, and CM11. I've spent hours googling it; there are a few posts I've found but no one seems to have a fix. (ex: here, and the fix mentioned in that thread (soundabout) doesn't help) It's clearly happening to a few people but not to everyone. I'm also wondering now if it's hardware related.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
[HTC One S] Albino_Mexican:
I only have issues with CM. Stock & Maximus I have zero issues. I am anxiously awaiting the day when all CM11 bugs get worked out and I appreciate all the effort thus far.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Carve it on your tombstone
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Performance Control might have been replaced with something else or could be in the future, but I don't remember about CM having a "darkui" ever. That darkui (originally TRDS) means "The Real Dark Slim" and it was introduced by SlimROM from where it was ported to other ROMs. Don't think CM has ever had that.

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Htc1neS:
I have 2.15 rooted tampered unlocked stock rom, kernel, radio. Do I need to change kernel and radio and if so how, and can I revert the process?
