Same issue

I am having an issue as well. Getting Status 7 in Clockwork when it tries to install. Seems to be that I cannot flash any updates since upgrading Clockwork to 6.0.4.7. What version of Clockwork are you running?

I am getting the build.prop bootloader error as well when trying to flash the M3 build on my d2att. My baseband is currently I747UCUEMJB. That's the same as my bootloader version, right? Or are they separate flashes?

I'm not gonna mess with flashing another bootloader until we've confirmed which on M3 is looking for. I am on the latest CWM recovery as well.

Hey guys,

just figured out how to flash it properly! I had to update my bootloader to the most recent one, I flashed it through CWM, and downloaded it from here. Then I flashed the snapshot M3 and it worked!

Hope it works for you guys too!

Just a post as this seems to be the only place where people can talk about bugs and such;

On mine, the nightly from 1/27 worked reasonably well except bluetooth. I liked that google voice search worked even when plugged in a car dock and the phone connected by BT! woo hoo. The problem I was having with BT was that it would not reliably connect back to the car. I tried snapahot M3 and it was worse. I could not get a BT reconnect and now google voice search no longer worked when in the car dock. In CM11, CM10.2 and CM10.2.1 you cannot turn off the car dock audio if it is connected and the a2dp audio only sporadically would connect. I will wait for at least an RC before I try again. It looks like 4.4 is a significant change and a lot needs to be adjusted. I get random reboots with 10.2.1 and was getting them in the short time I was running 11. To me the most stable was CM10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Capa1970:
Browsing time: just as good as stock.

Video time: worse than stock.

Call time: worse than stock.

Similar to this:

As a general rule, you will lose battery life flashing a custom ROM. Even with Greenify, my battery life still isn't as good as stock. However, I have an extended battery (3500 mah) and I love the customizations and so don't mind.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmyclub:
Hi all,

I'm in the process of preparing a number of Acer Iconia 210a tablets (JB) for use in the school where I work.

They're going to be 'shared' devices used by up to 5 different users each day, from a user base of about 800. This presents some issues, some of which I have addressed already.

I started trialling the tablets this week and have realised that just using an AppLock-style app to keep the users away from the settings isn't enough: they can set the wallpaper from within the Gallery app (I had a wonderful array of inappropriate images to remove yesterday afternoon!)

I was hoping there might be some bright ideas from this forum as to what might be the best way to prevent the wallpaper being changed. I have root on the devices and already have a shell script that runs on boot that could be added to, if that helps. I am also using ADW launcher, in case that makes a difference.

I have contemplated a couple of approaches:

If I knew where the 'current wallpaper' file or setting was stored, I could just copy this to a read-only filesystem and copy it back into the correct location on a scheduled basis or on the device booting. I did wonder if it was stored within ADW and copied /data/data/org.adw.launcher to another location and overwrote it back after changing the wallpaper. This just reset ADW to default settings, except for the unwanted wallpaper!

There are a couple of threads on the forum that state the location of the wallpaper and suggest that changing the permissions of the file would solve this but they must be for older versions of the OS because the file in question does not exist.

I think Tasker can change the wallpaper, so I could go down that route and get Tasker to 'reset' the wallpaper every 5 mins but it might be expensive with the number of tablets we have. (If Tasker can set the wallpaper, surely I can find a command/simple app to do so??)

I was using a live wallpaper and my first thought was that I might be able to just start that process using the 'am start' command but I couldn't find the correct syntax/activity name to test that idea..

There are apps out there that will cycle through random wallpapers on a timer. I could use one of these and just have a 'pool' of one wallpaper for it to select from. I could then just hide the config for that app behind AppLock or similar. However, most of the similar apps I've looked at have a feature whereby you can 'easily add to your random wallpapers direct from the gallery app' - the exact thing I want to prevent. Maybe there is a similar app without this feature that would suit my needs better..?

Which route do you think might be best for me to investigate? Is there another direction that would be better?

Thanks for your toughts,

Tim

looked good save for wifi

I noticed some comments on the download saying after installing they fell into a boot loop, but I didn't have any problems like that. Only two issues I saw was rom mgr was gone and wifi couldn't get past "...turning on" (even after a reboot).

I went ahead and went back to my backup and will give cm11 a try every day or so - the wifi thing I suspect will work itself out.

Flashing CM11.zip Problem

mine is having issues flashing the rom, anybody know i running TWRP recovery could be my issue? Thanks in advance

im flashing this since this morning i flashed the newest CM 10.2 nightly and it some how it broke all my gapps and could only fix it to where the phone worked except most Google apps, therefore i decided to do a full wipe and istall CM11 but it is not flashing :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Most likely yes, TWRP is the culprit. Try Philz Touch 6.0.0.8, it has been amazing for me. Make sure to do a complete wipe of system, Dalvik-cache, and cache, the option on Philz is called "complete wipe to install new ROM" and then make sure to flash 4.4 GApps as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chombombo:
Philz Touch worked perfectly. Thanks! now im running 4.4.1 and its running pretty smooth i must say. Two things i didnt not find was the capability to change the brightness with the notification bar and the option to remove the name of the apps on the home screen. If anybody finds a work around lemme know thanks in advance.

Cyanogenmod did a hell of a good job on this update!

I have read that if you use GAPPS, you need to flash a special ART compatible version if you want to use the ART runtime.

it was the same GAPPS i used on my Nexus 7 tho, ohh well, im gonna have to read up on it, i did try looking for info here at xda but couldnt find much, didnt have much much time to look though.

I just Installed the newest nightly and Xposed Installer+GravityBox(KK) to make up for the past CM features such as controlling the brightness witht the status bar and changing the launching application on the notification bar's Time & Date. One feature I am still missing is removing the names of the apps on the homescreen... If you like extra features and modifications to your guy's phone i highly recomment Xposed+Gravitybox.

Xposed is a must-have in my book, I always use it regardless of how many customizations are available in a custom ROM. Currently it fills a lot of customization gaps for me on the first official CM 11 nightly, I really like XBlast Tools and XUI Mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chombombo:
I tried installing 2 different GAPPS i believe both from PA. well... it erased the CM launcher which i was using only in my phone (using googles launcher in my CM11 nexus 7) and it would still not go to ART runtime. I tried reflashing the nightlie rom to see if it would install back the launcher...it didnt, no big deal... decided to install the previous batch of GAPPS for some weird reason. As stubborn as I am I tried the ART runtime again and it works now... no CM launcher but thats an easy fix :) it just gave me some issues with apps like G+ and keep but that should be another easy fix...

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

after ALL that, i went to xposed put all my setting back restarted the phone and ART was gone... so at the moment its either ART or extra featured from Xposed...bummer I really want to try ART with the extra features... hopefully CM puts them back on their settings just as an FYI for everyone...

Hi, a friend wanted to update to KitKat on his i9000. He is currently running MIUI based off 4.1.2 (I don't have the phone with me at this time) so it is rooted with a custom recovery.

How does KitKat work on the i9000? Is it nearly on par with 4.3 ROMs?

Is there a noticeable increase in performance?

Any big issues that one should be aware of? I heard ART doesn't work yet (will it?)

Any special procedures for flashing? Will I need to do it from a selinux compatible kernel (if so then which one would be recommended)?

Thanks for all the help and sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for all the answers, you've all helped me a lot. I just have one more question... is everything working in a stable way in 4.4? Because on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000) then many things don't work, such as screen recording, hwcomposer, hdmi, video recording is a bit iffy and many other small things. Does the i9000 have any issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysGhost:
For me it was the other way around.

CM10.x was slower than CM11.

I was surprised how snappy and responsive CM11 is.

Sure the boot is about the same, but once started, and settled down after boot, it is really responsive and quick.

CM10.x was "kinda" fast before, but CM11 is even faster.

Also it seems all the bluetooth problems have been solved with CM11.

(Some might remember that bluetooth A2DP was extremely laggy/skippy, due to a "bug", that even Google themselves admitted)

EDIT/Append:

720p recording?

Well... I really don't see why this is important on the i9000, as the camera itself is pretty darn poor in image-quality. There is really no qualty-difference from 360p and up anyway. Sure one get a "higher resolution" in the video file, but it doesn't add any more details due to the poor lens/camera sensor in this device. Kinda pointless in my honest opinion.

Good to know- I'm really glad it works fine with your i9000 and many others.

I really love pawitp's work and have no doubt that the CM11 will be working absolutely great. I will return to it at some later point, or during X'mas vacations I may flash each nightly and try- and possibly help with feedbacks. But now, while my everyday's work is going on I just must have all my phones working perfectly reliable.

BTW, the resolution in CalenGoo was very unsharp and I'm just dependent on that App. It is my schedule. I could read that setting sharpness to higher value brings FC's. I have no time to experiment now, that's all.

5109 without OC and with stock kernel. All other kernels were slower.

I don't care so much for Antutu score, feeling of UI responsivity and speed is more important for me. And that is where this ROM is just to be inloved with. Few KK roms were also close to this in the score number, but they felt much heavier and all KKs had smaller or bigger incomming call delay.

Lucky you. Mine was never yet stable with OC. Either FCs or SOD as soon as not actively used.

If you're happy, stay on it. You can try this ICS ocassionally once if you have to flash stock GB with PIT file anyway. ICS uses stoxk partition sizes. This ICS isn't good for people who use very many apps.
