My friend wants me to flash CM on his i9300. Should I flash the latest stable CM 10 or CM 11? How stable are the KitKat versions?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Psyloid:
I just came from CM10, go to CM11, its rock stable as long as he don't shoot video's (video recording crashes after shooting a few vid's)

making pics is no problem

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] eliash:
I'm with CM11 for 2 weeks, stable, not major problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] smarki:
Well... The capturing video part is probably going to be a problem as he wanted it to be as stable as possible. I guess I'll just flash 10.2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FlemishDroid:
Looks great much better then 'Sid'.

Personally, 10.2 camera was even more borked for me than 11, and 11 more than 10.1.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] victor_neves:
For me, CM10.1 is the most stable and smooth for now. I got laggy/stuttering transitions in CM10.2 and CM11, but CM11 are stable for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Notor1ouS-:
Yes boeffla.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] agusdallalba:
I'd wait two or three days for the M5 snapshot and flash that. The last (M4) snapshot had a battery drain after calls problem and the video camera was flaky. This has been been fixed in the nightlies, but those always have random problems.

EDIT: I checked and M5 is already out. I'll try it now, and edit again if I see anything fundamentally wrong, but I doubt I'll find such a thing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] agusdallalba:
So no, the fixed camera didn't make it to the M5 snapshot. It seems I'll have to keep 'nightlying' for another month.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Eleve11:
Then you need to change it in the Boeffla Kernel app!

Check under the Display section in the app!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kalda01:
I flashed CM11 yesterday and everything seems to be running smoothly so far.

Noticed one thing though. battery is draining 10% an hour when WIFI enabled and phone idle. deep sleep less than 25% of the time. with 3G only draining at 5% an hour.

is this normal with this rom ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] yossi2010:
Odin? Or any other flashing sw...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
20140406 nightly finally fixed ART support.

No more FC's after boot. :good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DonPhelippe:
Is the after-call-battery-drain also part of M5 features :laugh: or they removed it? Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Its in. They also dont remove anything from the monthly builds. They just have a certain deadline for it. So anything after wont be included and they just polish everything up in the last few days before the release.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] supreethms:
Quite normal. ONLY with WiFi turned on.

I have observed this on almost all AOSP ROMs. And i suffered WiFi battery drain on all of them.

But on stock, i found batter drain only if WiFi is CONNECTED. If it's not connected, it takes up a maximum of 3% of battery (Considering a stock battery).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] abdismoz:
I don't think it is normal my wifi is always on at home never got that much drain
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] makimo2989:
Hmmm... surprisingly the M5 Snapshot supports ART...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Because it's older then the nightlies. Probably before they broke ART.

Anyway 20140406 nightly also fixed ART support.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] makimo2989:
Actually that is why I'm on M5 Snapshot now... 06/4 is still broken for me... and I accidentally deleted 30/3... oh well... :o
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kalda01:
What modem are you using ?

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Why does Google Play Books app keep getting disabled ? I enable it and after a few minutes it is again disabled.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] agusdallalba:
Be careful if you find it because flashing 20140326 over M5 breaks settings, and maybe other things I didn't notice because I reverted a Nandroid.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] abdismoz:
GNA8
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] makimo2989:
I don't know about you but I did flash 06/3 over M5 Snapshot and it's still working... of course I revert back to Dalvik before I flashed the nightly... :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Actually I take it back 20140406 probably didn't fix ART. It automatically changes the runtime to dalvik. That's why it booted this time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] N-TheAndroNoob:
THANKS!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mickyman:
Yea, i changed back tot an earlier nightly and changed to dalvik so i could flash 06 and change tot ART but it didnt boot after the change.

secril_fd-interface wakelock (aka Fast Dormancy) solution on CM

I have updated the modem and it didn't help. It actually made me lose a lot of stuff from my phone... :(

Anyway, [MENTION=2035661]rwallach[/MENTION] found this on CM threads, from user dagmoller there. It worked! :victory:

If you find yourself with an empty /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/nwk_info.db file, the Fast Dormancy apk in Playstore builds one for you to apply the changes.

EDIT: This other tool here apparently does it all. Fast Dormancy Toggle App (Version 1.5) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647015

. I didn't try, though.

I found that you need not only nwk_info.db but nwk_info.db-journal for the thing to work.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RohanAJoshi:
Thank you, I will also try..

Guys, is camera working in latest nightly ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ClaudioIT:
how can i fix the camera?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
Look the post right above yours.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kalda01:
Latest Snapshot is again draining my battery fast. I was on 04-05 nightly before and battery was just fine.

Anyone noticed this ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] makimo2989:
The M5 Snapshot was compiled from way back then when the CPU "bug" was evident (all 4 cores is on full load even though no apps were running)... my advise to you is do a full wipe and flash the latest nightly and you should be fine....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] victor_neves:
I'm using M5 Snapshot + 2.2 Boeffla's Kernel (Lulzactive governor) and didn't have this bug
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kalda01:
I had only 25% in deep sleep with M5 version. WIFI was always on.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
I too have what seems to be a fairly large battery drain during moderate or low phone usage on CM11M5. For example today during my morning commute BBS showed me battery drain of ~16% per hour. All I was doing is reading news in gReader with occasional browsing for full articles in Chrome. Also had 2 or 3 whatsapp messages during this time.

I have auto brightness on, black theme in gReader.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kalda01:
Does any have any idea why Google Play Books app keeps being disabled? I have to unfreeze it every few hours.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] victor_neves:
I dont know about solve that but, if you can do a full wipe, flash some gapps that dont have Google Play Books and others gapps that you can download in Play Store. Then, download Play Books by Play Store.

Something is wrong today???
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cloudx720:
Latest nightly as of the 7th April build running extremely good, also camera and video camera at 1080p 30fps working flawlessly out of the box! No need for the fix anymore :D this is a good day. Cm team amazing great work :) thank you.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
It still crashes after some time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cloudx720:
Over 24hours usage, not a single crash :) dunno what you talking about.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] stephendt0:
My phone is completely messed up after using the 30th of march nightly for a while. All of a sudden (after an app update, it seems), all my user settings don't work, quick settings doesn't work, no lock screen, notifications don't work, calls don't work, all my settings are gone, home button doesn't work, amongst other stuff. ROM is completely screwed. Tried an update to the latest M5, no difference. Getting pretty sick and tired of bugs, I can't remember a point in time where everything just WORKED. /rage

Time for yet another factory reset and hours of messing around.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
I'm talking about the video camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 200:
Could it be?

On 20140407 nightly, camera is working flawlessly, both front and rear (so far, so good!) - using boeffla2.2 if it makes any difference.

(i temporarily switched from omni because of constant camera crash and think i will stay on cm11 for a while now!) :)

Looks like the camera hal has been removed for the moment. So I guess it should work better now.

Hello and thanks for your work.

Is anyone having increased battery issues? Battery life is really down comparing to February nightlies. Using googy max with zzmove
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
Hello.

Currently my sgs3 is on M5 snapshot. I noticed only one issue which was not there before. When swiping tabs in Chrome it's contents looks like this :
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
No, totally fine.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zeusalmighty:
I'm having that too though I've only seen this in chrome beta

I just took 4 videos in a row. They all play fine. The latest nightly has no camera issues for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] storchp:
How is ART in the latest nightly?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Still Broken.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Psyloid:
Running 28 march with boeffla and battery life is super (no oc, small uv, smartass v2, row)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 5ta1da:
My volume is lower than before when listening music.

Is there some way in ROM or MOD for increasing volume in CM11? I mean headphones volume...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] limitedMUSCL:
That's really freaking awesome! Battery life is incredible now after the after-call drain commits and the fast dormancy solution (in addition to the usual disabled services). No greenify, no custom kernel.

Took today a few dozen calls, some other sms's, a good measure of whatsapp, Facebook, chrome, and lost only 48% of battery in 12 hours.

Yeay! \o/

Ya bro i have the same problem. I think there is a new commit that does that? :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] stephendt0:
Seriously, what's the point of an M5 if it's super buggy? I thought the idea of an M snapshot was to generate a build that was semi-stable? Camera is barely functional, photos sometimes don't work, and videos are buggy at best, and getting weird corruption in chrome. Back to nightlies it seems...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Both can be buggy but nightlies can throw FC's at you right after boot.

The M snapshots are tested more I guess, they should at least boot your phone without major issues.

But yea, I would stick just to nightlies, worst case you can just go back to a previous nightly.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] calvinljh:
Hi All,

After update built 07 onward, me always has FC for Camera. can help on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xrad:
The Milestone releases are part of a process at Cyanogen to have less frequent and, as you say, semi stable updates. AFAIU they cherry pick commits from the main trunk once they've proven harmless. Hence every M release will (possibly significantly) lag behind the current nightly, but will most likely not suffer from last minute cutting edge changes. However - even the folks at CM Inc can't magically get a complete subsystem like the camera working when it simply isn't. If you are following the camera discussion here and in related threads you will notice that there is much activity, none of which is probably consired ready for prime time by the CM devs.

What all this really comes down to is that it is very hard to bring AOSP to any device which a) is not fully open to the devs (read: chips specs are available) and b) has dedicated and devoted device maintainers. Like [MENTION=4694692]FDisk80[/MENTION] said someone like yourself is probably best off with nightlies.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mickyman:
I have this too. No idea why.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xeizo:
Use Viper4Android IF you use stock kernel, or dedicated sound engine IF you use custom kernel ...

Camera in latest nightly

I'm running cm-11-20140409-NIGHTLY-i9300 and camera is ok except that it crashes when I try to select an item from the menu. Like for example I try to change the picture size - I tap the menu item, the menu disappears and the camera crashes. To use the camera again I have to restart the phone. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

after reverting to camera blob, camera is working fine but getting preview stop errors in some app.

Hello,

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
I Hello.

People keep telling how amazing battery life of CM11 is. After switching location service to 'Device Only' thus eliminating various NLP* wakelocks I tend to agree about idle power usage.

As for power drain when device is active I wasn't able to get good results yet. F.e. on my morning commute I mainly read news in gReader and book in Google Books. And for ~40min of usage I have ~15% of battery drain. I think it is too much. Because of screen shows as main consumer I removed wallpaper, turned black themes in all apps where available. It seems not to be helping much.

I even tried boeffla 2.2 kernel with undervolting and more conservative cpu governer.

How can I check what consumes battery most when phone is not sleeping? On standard batter screen I have 'Screen' on first place, 'Android OS' and 'Android System' on second and third respectively.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xrad:
If you convert that to per-hour drain, you get about 22% per hour with screen on, or more than 4 hours screen on from a fully charged battery. I think that is actually a very reasonable value for this device and is consistent with countless results/measurements I read in different threads over the time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] :
Use BetterBatteryStats app
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Psyloid:
For those complaining about low hp volume. Use boeffla kernel and app to beef up the volume
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
May be you are right. But I was wondering why system_server and com.android.systemui processes are always active while phone is completely idle?

BTW, now I have 38% of charge left and only 2h 15m screen time.

Where should I look in it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] vldesco:
Here :laugh:

You can use the version in the Play Store or the version posted here in its XDA Forum thread.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FlemishDroid:
No nightlies today? :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
I know what BBS is and where to get it. Thank you.

The question was what should I look for in it to find what is active when screen on?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] cornelha:
Black wallpaper and dark themes will only help if the screen background is dark all the time while reading. Does gReader and Google Books display the news/books on a black background? If not, there is your problem. Also, try setting screen brightness. I have found on odd occasions that Auto Brightness doesn't always work the way it should on 4.4 roms.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Yesterdays nightly failed, but it got fixed. New one is out.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] -error:
Here's how my screen looks like when I'm reading.

Google Books looks quite the same with night theme.

I wonder what surfaceflinger, system_server and systemui are doing when device is idle with screen turned on?

P.S. What about lux for managing screen brightness? Is it more adequate in doing this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xrad:
But for some strange reason neither CyanDelta nor CM's built-in updater picks up the new build. Does this work for others?

Issues mounting ext sd

I have the oddest of issues. Reliably, I can boot into (TWRP) recovery and the external sd card is mounted and writable. When I boot CM (stock kernel or latest stable boeffla kernel), I get errors like this:

<3>[ 35.557368] c0 mmc1: cmd 18 data timeout error
<3>[ 38.594455] c0 mmc1: cmd 17 data timeout error

However, when I remove the sdcard from its slot, then boot, and then insert it when the device is up, the card is mounted and writable.

This started with todays nightly (11 APR) but reverting to 9 APR did not change a thing.

Has anyone ever seen this?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:

Hey there, I have 2 questions for the experts here:

1. Is there a way to use a RTL language (like Hebrew) but still keep the normal LTR status bar, menus and icon positions?

2. Can one update from a nightly to a snapshot, or even a nightly newer than said snapshot? Regularly? Without wiping data and such?

On 2, you'll probably run into trouble doing that. A nightly is ahead in time compared to a snapshot. There were a few issues like that around snapshot m4 release here.
