Hi [MENTION=2473151]macs18max[/MENTION],

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to fix things in nikez k3.0.16? I have seen that walter and you made great efforts on k3 for htc leo. Please correct me if I am wrong. Are you also in the g+ group with walter and gilbert? Maybe we could meet there for a chat.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] macs18max:
I was in the group before by the name bigjohn but not any more. I have used your device_bravo to compile a rom for bravo, I hope that they are updated. Anyways the goal is to get camcorder work, it doesnt matter if other thing works or not. I will compile the ROM after I release the ROM for leo which may be tonight if things go well adn post it here to test.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Alright, got your point. As for my bravo device tree you don't have to worry, it compiles without any issue. I have also updated my forked CM projects 4 days ago.

The only thing you need to take care of, is to modify the boardconfig make files to match with your toolchain (gcc 4.4.3). However, I believe that you are aware of this.

Best of luck! :D

EDIT: Please be aware of hboot for bravo. System partition has only 250mb. The rom has to be slimmed down before it can be flashed.

Test for camcorder and 720p playback on bravo

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION]

I have compile the cm11 ROM based on your repo and patch the ROM. Hopefully 720p playback and camcorder recording will work.

Download ROM here http://d-h.st/zwo

Hopefully the ROM boots fine.

I made the following changes in evervolv qsd8k kernel.

1. Used older venc driver. You can find it in the attached zip on this post. Add these files if you want to compile the kernel yourself

/arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp6/msm_q6venc.c

/include/linux/msm_q6venc_legacy.h

2. Changed MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE to 0x02C00000 in boardbravo.h

Do the following test.

For Playback 720p

First test playback the smaller resolution video files in Gallery. Playback a smaller resolution media files (mp4) 176 x 144.

If that is successful play this file http://www.h264info.com/clips.html serenity trailer 720p resolution.

Do the following test for camcorder

Open camcorder and record. If it fails go to setting and change audio from aac to amr or vice versa. Try both audtio setting. I have disable all other not working video setting so you will see only m4v

If both any one or both test fails.

Increase MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE to 0x03200000 and compile the kernel again (dont forget to include the attached files in the zip)

If both are working keep reducing MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE until one stops working, then increase a bit. (Reducing ADSP size will give more ram, so we need to find as low as possible working adsp) compile and test.

I will be out for couple of day so if still not working post logcat and dmseg and I will have a look when I come back.
[Desire Android Development] nickleby:
I've selected the related files to 720p playback because I don't wanna flash a whole ROM for the moment (I can't), and I can confirm that 720p playback works fine (at least under Evervolv, I'm sure it will be fine for CM too). However, I haven't tested camcoder yet, I'll try to compile the kernel right now and test. Thanks macs18max!!!

Edit: I had the chance to flash the complete ROM. 720p works fine. Camcoder using AAC or AMR with MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE = 0x02C00000 doesn't work. Using MSM_PMEM_ADSP_SIZE = 0x03200000 is the same. The phone/camera app hangs after pressing the record button.

Can you imagine that spezi77 will test every application?

According to its own capabilities, you first try to give something back (feedback: logcat, dmesg log).

You yourself first attempt to explore the issue and write what you exactly did you do to solve the problem.

Then let the spezzi77 or anyone else on this board, looked at the problem.

From myself I will add that sometimes you must install the apk very old versions to see what the cause.

Good luck!

Well, who said that spezi77 is a robot?!

And who said that he has to inspect each individual app in the world?!!! if your comments wont help then please don't type.

Fine, I followed the instruction as per first post, I have rooted device, 1gb ext4 sd-ext partition done by 4ext recovery, hboot stock with 250mb.

Full wipe

Flash the rom.

install Mounts2SD

reboot.

Then the rom works fine, the storage area showing only 147mb if checked through setup, but when I checked it through the Mounts2SD app it shown 1GB.

Anything wrong?

Battery life and GPS

I would like to flash this ROM on my old Desire, which I am using just as a GPS (Endomondo) tracker. Therefore my main concerns are GPS quality and battery life on this ROM. If somebody could compare it with CM7 it would be great, because currently my Desire runs CM 7.2. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] genseng:
Battery life will be worse. GPS should probably be about the same. You may get a quicker lock in 4.0+, but it's been so long since I ran GB I really couldn't say for sure.

1.0 Performances

Hi spezi77,

I installed the latest stable version (1.0) of your rom on my bravo device, but after a while (after installing all the apps that I need) performances dropped down dramatically and the device became unusable... so, I switched back to v.0.9 which I use for a long time...

I use a2sd and I have a Class 10 microSD (45MB/s); the only difference with respect to intasll instruction is that I move also app data to the SDext partition, because if I do not do this my internal storage drains quickly.

Any idea?

Hi spezy77,

I have some performance problem when I try to use versions of this rom newer than 0.9... when the system is clean, it is all right, but if I install any "big" app like whatsapp and facebook, performances drop down dramatically... this doesn't happen in v0.9... nevertheless, I'm not able to provide you with logcats :(

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hey lade,

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to use such "big" apps on my newer rom versions. One could check the code changes between 0.9 and 1.x -- which could easily turn out to become a sisyphus job. I have already switched my desire "back" to LP developments. Maybe other kitkang users could share their experience.

Other than that, which method do you use to move apps to SD? A2SD (yny or yyy?) or M2SD?

VPNDialogs.apk (most important for some users like me!!!)

VPNDialogs.apk (most important for some users like me!!! -> VPN doesn't work on 4.x rom for htc desire)

Hi everyone,

I've tried to get this Rom to work for 3 days now, and I just cannot seem to accomplish it. But even though I've gotten CM to boot every single time the system gets stuck in bootloop after I flash Gapps or install apps manually and use them for a while. My guess so far is that it's a space issue but I just can't figure it out. I hope you can help me.

I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and have formatted my 16GB microSD using Windows to have a 2GB ext4 partition. I've followed the instructions in OP countless times. I format everything, copy the zips to the phone will in recovery, install CM, reboot, let it settle, activate App2SD, reboot to CM, flash Gapps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53319258#post53319258), reboot.

At this point the system normally loads but is very laggy. If I do manage to get into the app drawer, there is no play store to be seen. The system will then freeze very soon and never boot up again (stuck on CM screen indefinetly).

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thanks,

rien

P.S.: I've tried another Gapps package, too.

Thank you spezi77.

If the previous KitKANG v1.0 (CyanogenMod 11.0 M10) is already installed, is it possible to simply flash the new KitKANG v1.1 (CyanogenMod 11.0 M12) over it without having to wipe before?

Or is a wipe mandatory?

And what about the new GApps v1.1 package?

If upgrading from KitKANG v1.0 to KitKANG v.1.1 is possible without a wipe, and the GApps v1.0 was also installed previously, is it necessary to flash the new GApps v1.1 package? Or is it enough to simply flash the new KitKANG v1.1 and update the GApps via the Play Store / Play Services?

The CyanogenMod Barebones Wiki page says this regarding Browser.apk:

So, can anyone confirm that voice search does FC when Browser.apk is missing?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] wq0913562:
PS:

Is KitKANG v1.1 a standard CM 11.0 M12, or is ist based on a more recent CM 11.0 nightly (i.e. newer that Milestone 12)?

And if yes: Which nightly?

And does it include the patch for this:

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6438

?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Full wipe is always recommended. Do a backup and try a dirty flash on your own risk.

I don't think so -- but you may give it a try. As mentioned above doing a "full wipe" is the cleanest and most stable way of upgrading. Just use Titanium backup to save your personal apps + data before you flash the new rom version. That's not really so much effort, isn't it?

Hum, good point. I dunno. If desired, I could look into my linux build machine and try to find the browser.apk for you, if I didn't clean it up.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Yes, the patch is included: https://github.com/spezi77/android_vendor_cm/commit/8a20fb5ab8beb63d142803d6d340d475311ca3dc

I have synced with CM's codebase on the 4th of April which equals the build date of the rom.
[Desire Android Development] wq0913562:
Ah, just saw that the filename of the KitKANG v1.1 ZIP actually is:

Might make sense to rename the thread title from:

[ROM] [4.4.4] [Apr-4] CyanogenMod 11.0 M12 | KitKANG | v1.1 | STABLE & SNAPPY

to:

[ROM] [4.4.4] [Apr-4] CyanogenMod 11.0 20150404 UNOFFICIAL | KitKANG | v1.1 | STABLE & SNAPPY

or something like that then, since it's not Milestone 12 but essentially a much more recent nightly.

Milestone 12 was 20141103.

[Desire Android Development] PapaJasy:
No, I just installed it and gave to my sis. I usually don't use that stuff. Maybe I'll try it.

Edit:

I don't think that google voice exists.

Can anyone tell me which apps gapps contains in order to see if everything is alright with my installation?
[Desire Android Development] wq0913562:
The Google App:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

can be used for voice search for example.
[Desire Android Development] PapaJasy:
I know what it is and it's not included in the ROM...
[Desire Android Development] wq0913562:
I have also tested the ROM now.

And I can also confirm that it is no longer possible to flash the ROM and the GApps at the same time. Not even with the AlphaRev Jelly Hboot (250/5/182).

You need enable A2SD first before flashing the GApps.

Otherwise the ROM will hang on boot.

But when doing it like PapaJasy described above it works fine.

Thanks, but Google Voice Search does not seem to crash.

So Browser.apk apparently is not needed :good:.

But I was really surprised to see that you removed the CyanogenMod Trebuchet Launcher.

Why did you do that?

KitKANG v1.0 came with the CyanogenMod Trebuchet Launcher and with Nova Launcher and with Holo Launcher HD.

But now the CyanogenMod Trebuchet Launcher is missing and it only comes with Nova Launcher and with Holo Launcher HD.

Why?

Anyway, there apparently still is a pretty big and annoying BUG in this ROM:

When you go into a phone call, the screen goes blank and it is not possible to get the screen to wake up again while the call is still ongoing.

You can only get the screen to wake up again if the conversation partner ends the call. Then you need to press the power button to lock the device and then press it again to wake it up. Otherwise the screen will remain blank.

This bug was already in KitKANG v0.9 and in KitKANG v1.0. So I hoped it could be solved by upgrading to KitKANG v.1.1.

But the bug unfortunately is still there.

Does anyone know a workaround or fix for this bug?

And are there any other stable KitKat based ROMs available for the HTC Desire (Bravo) which do not have this bug?
