AWESOME! But 2 details

I've been using this for 3 days and it's working AWESOME. Even better than TakiJeden ROM (jb) which is an was amazing Slim based JB rom that I've been using.

However, I really miss something that was present in those ROMs I've been using lately. Please, add a "KILL ALL" (SLIDE ALL) button in recent apps. I didn't find any option to activate it, and it's really usefull.

Beside that, the only bugs in the rom are totally OK and reported with those CM11 bugs. Nothing serious for me.

I'm facing some trouble, however, with TWRP. I can't make backups with TWRP. It seems like it's doing it correctly, however when I try to restore, it wont, because the .win file is 0kb, and there are weird-named files in the backup folder. Any suggestion? I don't want to lose it all!Edit: My microSD is suddenly failing just after I installed the new TWRP and this rom, that's why I got confused. It's not a rom or twrp cause. I'll just have to get another micro SD. Edit2: After some testing, the SD card wasn't failing, but the file system was corrupted. I corrected those errors and the card got working properly again. Until I try a nandroid backup... This version of TWRP corrupt the SDCARD and the backup can't be completed correctly, even if it says it is completed, it is not.

Anyone else having the TWRP restore problem? Does it happen on CM11 too?
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
Hum about the TWRP... Never mind, but thank you for reading! It seems that the microSD card is just suddenly failing, after I installed the ROM. It must be just a coincidence, tho. Now the write/read rate is about 50 to 500 kB/s, in any device, and it's not working good at all. Before, it was > 4 MB/s. (class4 original defy micro sd). I'll have to get another one, that's it. I've edited the original post I made. Thanks again. :highfive:

Thank you! I'll try it. IDK why didn't I think about xposed :)

problems with titanium backup and bug reporting

Hi!

Does anyone else have these problems?

I had these problems also in the latest SlimBean build:

1) in Titanium Backup, the scheduled job (or multiple action job) starts and after a while (randomly) it stops or crashes and leaves the notification of the percentage in the status bar

2) when an app crashes or hangs and I tap on "send bug report" google play crashes (didn't have this problem in CM7)

BTW this Rom rocks! Much better even than SlimBean!!

Phone Ring Delay Wake UP was done? Or is there a solution to this problem?
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
Check CM11 known bugs thread. Link in the 2nd post. There is a workaround touching the hifreq and suspend option of the interactive governor. Still don't know if it worked well for me, but is reported as working pretty well.
[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
BUG with TWRP?

Well, there definitely IS something wrong with TWRP in my case. I tested the microSD card again and the bad performance was caused by some errors in the file system (fat32) but the card itself is not failing. I corrected those errors and the card is working properly again. Until I use TWRP:

In my case, TWRP can't make backups. Even when the backups (.win files) are not 0byte, the MD5 fail to match. If I bypass the md5 check, the restore can't be completed. Some of the times when I try a nandroid backup, the micro sd card get corrupted. At least which always is corrupted is the system.ext3 tar file. When I try to download those files (system.win data.win, etc..)to the computer, it says the file is illegible.

Can anybody confirm this? I really need some help because I've exhausted all the ideas I had to correct it.

I attach a recovery log of a folder where both system.win and data.win (tar files) are corrupted.

Edit1: After some hours of testing,I cannot backup

the System partition

. But I can backup and restore /data and /cache. System.ext3 always get corrupted. However I'm a little sad because I wanted to reproduce the data partition backup corruption, which happened too many times before this testing, but didn't happen again so far.

Edit2 (updating): I could reproduce the data.ext3 corruption too. It happened making a simple backup of cache, data, and system after rebooting. But now the SD had some errors after the creation of the backup too.

So I corrected the errors and did the same again after rebooting, but only backing up cache and data. Data again is corrupted and the SD card again have errors in the file system. So backing up system in particular, is not creating corrupted data.ext3 or errors in the SD card.

- I also checked if the reason was TWRP getting the name of the rom and putting it in the backup folder. Nope, same happens with a custom name.

- Tested unmounting and mounting again the partitions before backing up, but the same happens.

- Tested also with a 1Gb microSD card that I have, and it was not even recognized by TWRP, when it works. Untill I changed it to my 8gb Class4, TWRP couldn't even read the files in the mobile. Couldn't mount anything.

If anyone have some idea or can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I'll do more testing tomorrow.

You must have enabled the low mem flag using aero control or something. Kitkat disables lockscreen widgets when low mem flag is set, to improve performance :p

It's 2.6.3.0. And yes, I tried reflashing it and installing the ROM again (clean install). Didn't solve anything.

I don't know if there is a way to install TWRP after installing the ROM, because the flasheable zip file of TWRP 2.6.3.0 erase all the /system partition before installing it, so I need to reinstall the ROM again.

Yes, there is a way. Unfortunately I can't get the TWRP zip file here to point the exact line for you, but if you open it and go to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script you see a line with a format command or similar. Just delete it and repackage. Take care to edit in Linux, or save the script in Unix format! This operation also will only work if you flash over a working Rom...

Did you try CM from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515036 ? I mean, are you sure it's a Rom thing?

Did you once had CWM? In the link above there is an update to CWM. You can use either recoveries, TWRP or CWM.

I had lots of problems with gapps other than the ones in this thread because of the size of the gapps. Worst is, it won't install correctly and won't let you know, then you have these weird behaviours.

The latest build is slightly larger in size, so that might be it...

You could try Suspend_freq 600 mhz and Suspend_enable 1 as well. Doesn't hurt the battery too much and helps too with wakeupdelay.

Have you changed the dpi by any chance? Or display font size? If you haven't then try changing dpi to stock value (240) and try. Use an app like textdroider or similar, or edit in build.prop if you are confident.
[Defy Android Development] patriiice:
I have this even on first boot after setup, so with default build.prop. I recently changed dpi to to 240 for better readability but it doesn't affect this screen. The font size setting doesn't affect it either. Maybe it's because of the french language, I really don't know. Am I the only one with this problem?

I have some troubles with the default browser (browser that I always use). It's closing itself sometimes (no error message in screen). Mostly with Facebook page. Some functions are not working, as instance "+" add photo to posts. It doesn't even open the gallery to select the image. It does nothing. I don't know if it's something with javascript handling or what. I need more testing, and I'll try to log what's happening and post it.

With Opera, everything is working fine. It can open the gallery correctly.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
TWRP zip provided by quarx actuallly has nothing to do with twrp, it contains a kernel and ramdisk. Start afresh with SBF, manually format your SD Card (first on PC and then on Stock ROM), and then come to kitkat and see.

In fact english language did nothing, you're right, it was because of the 240 dpi. I forgot I did the change in the zip before the flash. When I put 213 it's OK, but I really prefer the look and readability at 240.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:

Good in performance and battery.

But i found problems in data connection
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Seems like I've hit a bug (?) with Build 2.6 RC2.

During the night the phone turns itself off, just like it drained the battery, and basically can't be turned on without pulling the battery out first. But it's not hot or anything. The battery itself was about 80% before that. Strange thing is that the battery status graph shows no activity during this time period; ie. nothing, like it never existed - although we are talking about >6 hours period. [screenshot]

This happened second time for me now, last time was two days ago. This time I also got data partition corruption (?), ie. android was optimising apps on the startup (I should say-only user apps and not system apps-because it was only 39 of them), messages are gone, launcher went restoring settings, etc.

Been using this build for a few weeks, everything was okay, maybe got a random reboot or two and thats all.

Kernel bug?

My settings are basically original (default), wifi is turned on always, network is 2G only, no overclock, no overvolt/undervolt... I just set the 'performace' governor with the AeroControl app. Never had any problems with that. No apps installed during the last week or so.

Although this post is probably not very helpful, maybe you can point me out what exactly to do to get some logs if this should happen next time?

Btw. great rom :) Will install build 3 now...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
You can run a "cat /proc/kmsg > kmsg.txt" through adb or terminal emulator (type the correct path to the output accordingly) and leave it, hoping it happens again. Same for logcat. I don't think we have last_kmsg yet, would have been helpful in this case.

[Defy Android Development] leandeganis:
About the data partition corruption, have you checked if Dynamic FSync is disabled in Aero Control? The same thing happened to me yesterday. I think DynFSync is OFF by default in this ROM, but after this corruption happened (I've lost ringtones settings, some user apps settings....) I checked again and Dynamic FSync was ON. I don't know what turned it on, or what happened. But it always caused me data corruption.

Edit: Hum, actually I guess It's turning itself on again after each reboot, because I flashed that zip from Quarx that has a kernel image too, as [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] stated. It must be off in your case.

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

I will try reflashing the sdcard in stock ROM, because other than that, I guess did everything correctly. I did a clean install the first time and TWRP was not backing up (before installing the Quarx zip): Stock 2.2 SBF > Root > CWM (2nd init apk) > caches&data wipe > TWRP 2.6.3.0 zip (reboot) > safewipe > this ROM > caches wipe > GApps > caches wipe (reboot) .

The SDcard had still all the things that JB left on it, so I'm not sure about that. I erased ALL, but just after the first or second boot.

Also, thank you limited. I'll try that too before starting all over, just to test. But I will need to do a clean install once again, since I've installed that kernel image from the Quarx zip. I can just mess with the system partition (wipe it, reinstall the ROM and then recover data with a backup apk) but I want to be sure that there's nothing causing the fail other than TWRP itself or sth with the rom.
