Looks like the crt/rotation graphics fix was a rom fix not kernel fix according to MW's changelog. Anything new added to CM's code last night or today?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
i think i may know what it is then.. theres a couple of commits that workaround the crt glitches.. specifically http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54546/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54545/ while the second is meant for maguro it could be applied to toro as well.. intriguing find.. i think i saw it earlier but didnt really look at them..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Playfulgod has a build for all 3 gnexus varients in the galaxy nexus development section and his change log states the fixes were cherry picked from CM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
You can check it on my GitHub in the android_device_samsung_tuna repo, that version of the fix doesn't require any changes to the device-specific repos (toro, maguro, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
that's even better than a response to my pm, thanks man =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I didn't even see that I got a PM! Sorry, I had thought tapatalk would tell me if I got one, guess not o.o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
no sweat, it was old info anyways.. question tho.. are u using dhackers tuna kernel PVR branch as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
so in the commit http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54546/ i reviewed it with a suggestion, rather forceful one, to include the other patch into the device.m k file as MWisBest has done.. hopefully this will all get situated =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
dhacker's PVR branch isn't working last I checked, it's still a work in progress.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
that's what I thought, as soon as he gets that done we'll be home free from bugs!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
So then we can assume at least for now the crt/rotation fix will be in the next build? :)

alright alright, let's stay on topic

Thanks for all your hard work on this excellent ROM, swordrune!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
So excited for the graphic fixes to be fixed. I asked this on rootz but didn't get an answer:is there any reason my maps wouldn't be doing the cool behind the nav bar thing they showed off?? Wrong gapps maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
never heard of such a thing.. sorry for no response
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
O no its fine. I just was worried I got a messed up gapps package or something since I wasn't getting it. If no one is getting that look then I'm good. Thanks for your work sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Do you mean having Maps sit fullscreen behind the statusbar and navbar like how Google Now does when you swipe to the right and open it?

I know that some UI related things are still only working 100% on the N5, even the N7 Flo and N4 don't have some of the cool features on the stock 4.4 rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
wait nephilim, are u saying this is a thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Although I have not seen it, I feel like that is the only reference that he could be making. I think it would be awesome if certain apps such as Maps, Google+, Facebook, Chrome etc would have that UI look where when you scroll everything runs behind the statusbar and navbar. As of right now it appears Google Now is the only app on our Gnex that operates that way though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
now that I think about it, it is a good UX decision.. I'm totally going to keep my nexus 5 stock for a while when I get it.. BTW, build just finished uploading now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
That's exactly what I'm asking for. So it isn't working cept for the gel and apps ripped from the n5? Damn. Its so cool looking but if it isn't doiv it it ain't doing it. Bummer though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Can't wait to install the new update.

When you planning on getting an N5 btw? I am holding off until around taxtime because by then I think alot of bugs will be resolved and the Paranoidandroid Team will have a decent Beta to play with. Also because there are usually some great deals around that time of year and I'm going to be ditching Verizon after 9yrs to go to T-mobile.

I believe we will see little by little things ported better to devices outside of N5 in the coming weeks/months. Even now the N4 does not have GEL launcher inlcuded with the stock 4.4 google image, only the N5 comes with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Same here been with Verizon forever but looking to switching to T-mo. Contract on all phones up in December but probably wait until after New Year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hack.Me:
Are we looking for a date of 20131125 in the build name? I see an 20131124 that was touched today..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I love Verizon's customer service and signal but I am sick of them being so restrictive on everything. T-mobile has excellent service in my city and I stand to spend about $20 less with them for no contract and unlimited data without throttle. It's a no brainer in my eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Believe 11/24 is maguro build.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Its up, DLing now.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Know what you mean about good signal, for me a lot is about cost. Paying on 3 phone lines is expensive. Hoping to save some at t-mo. Not really sure how their service is here. Don't know many people using it, all friends are Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
just with them for two years ending in December, ironically just for the galaxy nexus.. I'll be picking one up ASAP either full price or tmo's financing.. luckily I already have the Sim and a cheap cheap gsm phone

yes that is just maguro, sorry

luckily I wasn't paying for my plan ;) but the deal I had ends when the contract does so T-Mobile I go!

my wife is on T-Mobile, she has never complained

and yes the build is up in Google drive, will be uploading to the rest soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hack.Me:
Got it, Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Lastest install no problem. Everything working as far as I can tell so far. Graphical glitches gone also. Big thanks for this build and your ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Everything's perfect here as well. Just get the gapps fc toast a few times after each boot, probably because I never clean installed from shiny rom. Not effecting anything though so when I feel like not being lazy I'll prolly do a fresh install lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Yes not getting any fc here but had to redo clean install prior to 11/23 build for same reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jlvlawrence:
I did the opposite of you guys about a year and a half ago and dropped T-Mobile to switch to vzw. Their coverage and customer service are excellent. I have LTE pretty everywhere and I live in Kansas. I'm starting to think that having a Nexus phone isn't that big of a deal anymore. If I was due for an upgrade right now, I'd probably get the g2 since it's supported by CM or the moto x. If moto is gonna be speedy with the updates, that would be sweet and take away a little of the sting of vzw not getting the nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treubber:
I agree. I know the gnex is outside the 18 month support window, but I was seriously surprised that it didn't get an official KitKat update. It's really lessened the value of the nexus program in my opinion. I agree, I'd consider a Moto again now because of their recent changes. Nevertheless, I'm incredibly thankful for all the devoted developers we have here. Thanks for a great Rom!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
Worming great loving it. Going to finally settle into this. Anyone know if we will be able to just go straight from this to normal cm11?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
that's why I don't cherry pick and stuff, so we can just go straight into nightlies =]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewsipher:
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Just did a full wipe and clean flash of 11/25, still getting com.google.gapps force closes a couple times after every reboot in ART. Can't figure out what could be causing it.

Sent from my Android 4.4 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I saw, somewhere, a suggested solution for this. It seems to have worked for me so far. Somewhat different setup, but likely the same issue (?). For comparison, I'm running XP ROM on my GNex and using 11/19 PA GApps, and have ART turned on. Solution I followed that seems to have worked for me is: go into Settings / Apps, tap the 3 dot menu button (upper right) and select "reset app preferences". Among other things, your default app choices will disappear, but it seems to do more. Don't know if this is real, or superstitious behavior. But it really seems good here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Happened few times with me, only time has happened is when backing out of Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
Well...I'm sorry to report that the "fix" I mentioned two posts back seems to NOT be the answer.

Your description of Chrome being involved is, I believe tightly tied to the issue. I've got 4.4 ROMs (both using ART instead of Dalvik, too) on my GNex and Nexus 10. Interestingly, I'm NOT seeing the issue any more on the GNex using the XP ("The Experience") ROM -- not sure what's different about this install. Using Rastakat on the N10.

When I see the error, it seems that it's typically two -- one right after the other. It also seems to happen related to my use of Chrome, and seemed worse when I had Chrome Beta installed side-by-side with the production 31.xxx version. Uninstalling the beta reduced the incidence of the problem, but didn't eliminate it entirely on the N10. I'm thinking that it's probably the same issue with both versions of the browser, and having two installed simply created more opportunities for the issue to appear.

Anyway - the times I've been offered an opportunity to report the error, I've taken the time to look at a preview of what will be submitted, and this looked like it was giving a pretty consistent clue. The preview included a stack trace, and it appeared - every time - that there was an issue related to a routine looking for ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter. The odd thing is that the error seemed to show that the APK was not found in the given path -- but when I looked via a root file manager, ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk was indeed, where the code seemed to be looking for it. I don't know WHY an error is occurring, but I'm pretty convinced that this is at the center of it -- or at least part of it.

A thought: although I DO like having my bookmarks sync'd between all my devices that use Chrome, I wonder if turning off bookmarks sync would stop this issue cold. It would certainly be a good diagnostic test.

Anyone here have insight into the bookmarks sync adapter, and why this might be creating an error? (and what might fix it?) :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Backing out of chrome doesn't cause the gapps fc every time, can't pinpoint what actually causes. Going to keep closer eye to see if anything in particular.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I'm looking around for discussions of the bookmarks sync adapter - might find some clues there. Also will try going without "sync" turned on in Chrome to see if that makes a difference. If any of us experiencing this can catch a logcat when it happens, we'll have a better shot at homing in on the exact issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
[MENTION=1666775]swordrune10[/MENTION] it looks like CM merged in the fix, with it only affecting android_device_samsung_tuna as well like we had asked for. I really respect your decision not to do cherry-picks, I've always found those to be annoying, especially when they're in bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Thanks for all the replies on the gapps force close issue, good to see I'm not the only one. I am using Chrome Beta so that may just be it. I only get the force closes a couple times upon booting the phone and thats it.

On a positive note, a fresh install seemed to make performance even smoother on this incredible rom!

Sent from my Android 4.4 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
I'm also glad that it was merged.. yep this is how I've handled this all the way back in cm9 days.. even before cm got their three pacman named servers =] I appreciate ur work especially since ur definitely helping us move along to a stable build, keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
strangely enough I don't get any force closes ever.. but than in running on dalvik
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Yea, it only happens in ART, dalvik is fine for me as well. Either way, it only happens on boot so not affecting how well the rom works. :)

Sent from my Android 4.4 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
I get the force closes periodically and I do not have Chrome installed. I'm using the stock browser. I haven't noticed exactly when it happens, but it isn't Chrome causing it as I am not using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KJW979:
Sure most are aware but tibu working with ART, update pushed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Just made the same post over on Rootzwiki lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonstrong:
I flashed the new 11/26 PA GApps about an hour ago.. Haven't seen one of those FCs since then. Might mean nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Thanks for the tip, downloading right now and going to give a try.

I'll post back in a little bit. :D :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sashusmom:
Used Wugs toolkit to root my stock nexus 7 lte, and put on twrp, and I ended up on stock 4.3.1 JLS361. But I flashed DSP.zip(went into system) to help with the low sound and realized it changed the stock rom so no OTA 4.4 for me.

So, I just backed up my tablet thru Wugs- never did a nandroid BU before that way- and put the file directly on my PC. Very cool. I was gonna put it back to stock thru Wugs too in anticipation of the OTA update. I get to chose what stock file to flash, and it will download it for me and install it. But, here's the question. It offers 4.4. Can I choose that file to make my tablet stock even though I'm on 4.3.1? I don't have much experience using this tool kit, but If I can do that, Verry Cool.

****************************************************************************************

My first attempt failed. I was able to DL the 4.4 file, and go thru the motions, but it stuck on the bootloader screen, and when I rebooted manually my tablet was as before with all my data. No changes.

My 2nd try was to DL the original 4.3.1 stock file. First try was a mismatch. 2nd try was good, hit ok to wipe, and was successful putting back to stock and tablet wiped.

Now trying to DL 4.4 file again. 1st try was a mismatch. Trying again. Finally got the DL, but it failed due to the basebands not matching.

So it doesn't work to update to 4.4.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
What the Magician needs is a 128MB RAM upgrade. Although Big Storage helps a bit but the database is in RAM and with a lot of applications that use the database, you won't be able to move to ROM or external card.

When I installed applications on RAM, I keep them to a minimum but the more programs you install, the more files get written to RAM. Even though I installed lots of programs directly to the sd-card, some of those programs come with files that has to be installed in RAM that's why you can see your RAM bloat even though you have only installed 5 programs in RAM.

I have stripped my RAM to pencil thin by moving any .unload files, help files, and unwanted graphic files to my sd-card, and apps that are in RAM and only those that cannot be installed anywhere else. ie. apps that will only install directly to RAM regardless where you specify you want to install them to.

BigStorage only increases the ROM space but the main increase required is still RAM.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Here's how BigStorage will help create more RAM space for you. Download a program called Tweaks2k from Handango

http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...atformId=2&N=96806 33&productId=24717&R=24717

You can move DLLs from RAM to your BigStorage automatically. Tweaks2k will move the dlls and update the registry for you so the more BigStorage space you have, the more dlls can be moved. You don't need to know which one to move and calculate the space required...Tweaks2k does it all for you at a click of the button.

after unlocking my device will i be able to upgrade to 4.3 or do i have to stay on 4.1.1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Do not attempt this downgrade if you have upgraded to the official 4.3 ota. It will brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tky_Electronics:
Once done you can upgrade to any firmware you want as it is a permanent unlock. Also if you downgrade from 4.3 i dont see why it would brick, but if the admin says so then i believe it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
You should probably put a large RED warning in the first post that if they down grade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 to unlock they will hard brick. Specifically flashing the 4.1.X bootloaders cause the brick.

also on 4.3 this appears to work and retains sim unlock SHA256 OFF
