[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yeah there's no doubt some things up with it. Hmm. Had a though. Think it may have anything to do with the MK2 modems? I am going to flash the full MDK package and see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Oh, FWIW, I switched runtime to Davlik and it has no effect. That said I'm going back to ART. Battery life and responsiveness of my S4 is better on ART. Everything else is good, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Well modem has no effect. And yeah I'm using dalvik and it doesn't work for me. So back to MK2 modem and wait patiently. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Anyone else notice, when running ART, it doesn't like to restore paid apps, that might have fallen off the back of the truck. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I've seen that in the past when running Davlik. Last time it was a PITA was on CM9 on a Sprint/Moto Photon 4G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
When I was running Dalvik, everything restored fine, but when I switched to ART, it borked those apps. I don't have a ton of them, but the one I'm really missing is the no ad, unlimited skip Pandora.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Ok, gotcha now. Must be an app that isn't compatible with ART. I would imagine there a are couple out there. I haven't run into any that ART doesn't like, yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
The only one I've found is gasbuddys I think its the app itself not the ROM, can somebody else test?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
It's working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 420haxr:
Does anyone else get there phones to stop charging at 92 percent ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I charge to 100%. You can try deleting batterystats.bin and then charging again too see if you hit 100%.

Edit: That is if it's part of KK somewhere. You can also see what happens when you charge with the phone off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I haven't had any trouble charging or with battery life. It's actually been quite good on that aspect. A lot better then I would have initially thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Agreed, battery life for me has been stellar. 15-16 hours off charge brings me down to around 30% +/- with 3-4 hours screen on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
And your running Art?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
I switched back from art and it worked fine then I switched to art and it just force closes idk what it is but I'm going to update to latest nightly and if anything its a art thing I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
ART is still Beta so one should not expect all apps to work correctly with it. Especially if an app hasn't been updated to work with ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Everything I switch to ART and reboot i get tons of FCs when the reboot comes back up, mostly seems like process.gapps and a few other ones (that may not be exactly right naming)

Am I doing something wrong here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Which Gapps package are you using? Some of them are not compatible with ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tithefug:
Has there been any progress on the microphone working in Hangouts?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Is everybody else upside down, when trying to do a video call with Hangouts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
This exact thing happens to me. I can confirm that its mostly package.gapps as well as a couple other process' but package.gapps continually force closes until you switch back to dalvik and reboot

Im using the gapps package from the invisiblek mirror here: http://invisiblek.org/gapps/ Is there another I should be using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yupp. Sure is. Probably an inadvertent bug. Probably be fixed soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ItsAaronR:
Yup, same here. Weird, when I record on instagram the video (and audio) are fine, in Snapchat video just freezes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinfulRoad:
Well with the 12/30 nightly, Light Flow seems to be working now.

Sent from my Unicorn'd S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I'm using the ones linked in the OP...i use ART with Slimkat with 0 issues and his gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandonair95:
I just did a clean flash with the 12/30 nightly and PA stock 4.4.2 gapps and ART is working now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris123NT:
Not lately and I can't look into it anymore since my S4 somehow bricked :/ Radio got boned and then the whole device failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crossoverdoc:
I got the same problem using those gapps. Switched to the PA gapps and haven't had the problem, try giving those a try!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 420haxr:
How do I delete that file u mention ? Its weird because with the phone off it will charge to 100 ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tithefug:
Damn. That sucks.

I did just do a test, though, and Hangouts seems to work with a BT microphone (I happened to be wearing Glass this time). Unfortunately, the FFC video was upside down.

Very strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Beautiful. About to do so myself, will report back.

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

working perfectly!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Icebluemale30:
Safe strap recovery

will the work with safe strap recovery method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
hmm...where did my quick unlock feature go for my PIN?

EDIT: Nevermind- Brainfart ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
If you're asking if this will work with SafeStrap I don't believe it will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Icebluemale30:
yes thats what im asking thank you .......oh so is there any 4.4 roms that work with safe strap recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dmarden:
You're probably better off asking in the Safestrap thread, but... My understanding, without having done any research (since I'm not using it) is that it doesn't work with AOSP ROMs and that is the only way you're getting 4.4.x right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
No custom kernel yet on SS, so only TW ROMs that can run with the stock boot image will work. They have other packages you flash to patch up the libraries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Wish I would have seen your post earlier. I've tried on MJ7 and MK2 and the modem has no effect.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

I had issues with FC's on that Gapps package, too. Switched to the PA Gapps and all has been good. Make sure you get the KK package that IS compatible with ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] isaacfinnegan:
+1 for PA Gapps packages. Going with that all the way.

I'm currently on 12/30 and using ART and LOVING IT! My phone has never been snappier using/opening apps. Wonderful, wonderful. Thanks to all who read this who work on this stuff. Well report on battery life after the next few days.

I do have a question: what exactly determines the battery charging AC vs. USB state? I found that it changes depending on what cable I use, but I'm not sure what the difference is between cables. I have 2 micro USB cables, one from a nook simple. They both work as full USB, but only when using the nook simple cable does my phone show Charging (AC) when plugged in (to wall or computer). But the other cable only ever shows USB, even when plugged into wall outlet that has 2.1A output.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
I dirty flashed 12.30 and Google will not sync. Have I missed something? Just checking before I wipe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Mine had an issue syncing at first. I just resync it and it worked. Which gapps are you using.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
I'm using PA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
I'm using the ones from the CM wiki site. Try reflashing the PA gapps. That should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
Ya that was the first thing I tried. Oh well clean flash time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yankeetim92:
twiz0r, I'm on 4.2.2 I have TWRP installed. I can just install this onto my phone wipe everything and install the rom? That will update me to 4.4.2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Use a app such as Root Exlorer and navigate to /data/system and you'll find batterystats.bin, it is recreated by the system. After you delete it charge to completion without unplugging and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] macravin:
Yes, you can wipe everything, and then flash this ROM. Then flash the PA gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I've noticed different charge rates with different cables as well. I'm going to assume that the quality of the wires (conductivity) is the difference. But there's no way to really tell without trial and error. I'm sure there's good cheap ones and bad expensive ones.

Edit: Quoted the wrong post.

Edit 2: My bad, that's what I get for glancing. But I think the real answer to your question is the type of circuits used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Snapchat video froze for me on Christmas build, but I dirty flashed the 12/29 build and now Snapchat works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Grenwar:
Any others experiencing battery issues? I have my usb plugged into a 2amp output charger and it's still draining lol. I have also deleted the battery stats .bin as well.

Other than that it's been stable and good for me!

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

Actually I tried with a different cable and now it's charging more than consuming. Strange though since I've been using the older cable for a very long time and never had this issue before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Accidentally thanked you but oh well lol. I had my OEM charging cable crap out and now it charges between 200-600 mAh no matter what. I definitely didn't abuse it, I hardly ever moved it from next to my nightstand. I tried a new cable with the same wall piece, and it charges really fast again. I guess there's just a possibility they can crap out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yankeetim92:
Macravin, Im on 4.2.2 I downloaded the rom from my phone, so it's fine if I'm on 4.2.2 and it will automatically update to 4.4.2??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Definitely do a clean flash if coming from 4.2.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrw1215:
Just out of curiosity, what would be the difference between this ROM and the Euroskank builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ItsAaronR:
Really? Even the FFC? It seems to work fine with the back camera for me, but freezes using the FFC.

Euroskank is Cyanogenmod with cherry picks (features that are usually up for review, but not merged), a list of the cherry picks from Euroskank builds are found on: http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm11&device=jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yankeetim92:
Factory restore, and wipe everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
If coming from 4.2.2, yes. Wipe Cache, data, system. Then flash 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
You're right. FFC doesn't work with video. For me, the rear camera would also freeze until I was on 12/29.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ItsAaronR:
Darn :P was hoping I just needed to do a clean flash, thanks for letting me know! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dspalphamu:
Upside down video in Hangouts seems to be fixed. Running Euroskanks 12/31 build :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Cool! :good: I loaded up this morning's build, and didn't even think to try Hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Is this normal battery life for everyone? It has never been this good for me.

Starting to think TouchWiz really sucks after all, I'd be lucky to get 3 hours screen time...on WiFi :thumbdown: This was 75% LTE.

Anybody else's battery stats show WiFi enabled when it's really off? It shows WiFi was on nearly the whole time when it definitely was off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Wifi on could be related to your location settings, too. Even when turned off it can be turned on if location settings are set to precise. Google Services is one that uses that function.

As for battery, that's normal. I get 2-3 hours more battery but I have about an hour less screen time. Also, don't know where your display brightness is set, but mine is fairly low,too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
CM Updater auto install is not working, it will reboot but just sit at the recovery screen. I am running the 12/30 build and tried to go to the 12/31 build with TWRP 2.3.6.1

I will try updating TWRP and see what happens

EDIT- I am on the latest TWRP already. I was thinking that by 10.1 tab wasn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
It worked for me updating from 12/30 to 12/31. I use CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
odd, it worked for me yesterday going from 12/25 - 12/30. No big deal as the ROM still downloads and I can still flash it in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Didn't even think about that, I did have location turned on so that's probably what it is.

I am on the latest TWRP as well and just updated from 12/29 to 12/31. Everything went smoothly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanberge:
Mine's done this a couple times with CWM. I just battery pulled, held power for ~10 seconds with battery out, then re-inserted battery and powered on. Every time so far it's picked up right where it left off and went into recovery and updated fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have noticed similar. I can start the update process and the new nightly will flash without issue. My problem happens after reboot. For the last three nightlies the system will hang at the Samsung logo and the only option is to do a battery pull and then restart. Once I power back on it will boot fine. The same thing started happening on CM10.2 and, IIRC, it only affected users with CWM (I run CWM 6.0.4.4). I believe there was an issue with the way CM10.2 interacted with CWM and the devs identified and fixed it. I wonder if there is a similar issue with CM11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Yep same issues here for the most part. Battery life has been not that great as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loonie01:
Has anybody gotten audio to work through the USB cable? I have an xbolt pro dock that I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] racerx250:
Came from DU 4.0. CM11 + ART = WOW!! Phone hasn't been this snappy since the day I bought it. Feels like a quad core phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dikm7:
Anybody having issues with video chats? I've tried both Skype and Hangouts and the other person can't hear me. I can hear them fine but they get no audio from me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mindflayyer:
It's a known issue with the phone's microphone software at the moment. We'll have to sit tight and wait for a fix to be merged. In the meantime, Bluetooth audio still works during video calls. Use a headset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dikm7:
Got it. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Just flashed the 1/1 build. Rebooted into CWM 6.0.4.4, flashed the nightly, and rebooted without issue this time.

Only thing I had to do was go into settings and choose "mobile network type". Just selecting it would return me to the previous menu. I opened it again and touched and held CDMA+LTE/EVDO for a moment and it stuck. It sat for a couple seconds at the selection menu then returned to the previous menu and showed the proper selection. I am currently connected to the LTE network and showing a stable signal so all is good.

Everything else seems fine so far (about 45 minutes uptime).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
First build of the new year seems like a pretty good build. You know what they say. Whatever you're doing on new years day you'll be doing for the rest of the year. Guess it won't be dealing with bugs and an unstable phone. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I guess I'll be a sportin CM all year. This is really smooth!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
I still can't automatically update with the latest version of TWRP, it will reboot into recovery, briefly blink like its going to install and then go back to the recovery menu...

Any ideas here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuckleb0ne:

Anyone have any idea what this commit from the 12/29 build is?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I saw that as well. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
They may be one step closer. With the 1/1 build I have noticed that location services go off immediately after leaving GPS toolbox instead of staying on like it did before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Looks like it was left over stuff from focal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
No idea, but I lol'd when I saw it.

I'm still getting a BSOD when connected to WiFi and I have no clue why. It started with a clean flash of 12/25 and still does it on new builds (although a dirty flash). Looks like I'll need to do a clean flash soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
You think that's funny. Read the patch comments on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iwearthebelt:
Having the same problem on my S3. When it reboots into recovery select install, then Internal Storage, scroll down to the cmupdater folder, open it then select the file you want to flash (today's date). Let me know if that worked for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
That what i've been doing as a workaround... I just switched to CWM and it worked flawlessly. Now if i can only get CWM touch to install.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmp029:
I am testing the usb audio breakout cable from the ibolt xpro dock and noticed these things:

System sounds / clicks / alarms etc will output to usb audio.

Google maps/navigation outputs to usb audio (I wish I could choose to output nav to the phone's speaker instead...)

Phone calls output to the phone's speaker.

Apollo and Pandora will output to usb audio.

Volume control on the phone is either max or mute, nothing in between. Max volume is VERY loud (at least on the little portable speaker I am using).

Although DSP Manager has a section for "USB/Dock", these settings do not seem to have any effect on the sound quality.

Play Music does NOT output to usb audio.

When I attempt to play a song in Play Music it looks like the song is starting but no audio comes out, and the song progress is stuck at 0:00.

Going to settings ==> equalizer in Play Music causes the app to crash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Logano520:
Sorry for the random question, but what selection in the picture quality settings produces the best quality pictures? I thought the "Super Fine" setting would, but I think I may be wrong.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
I use TWRP and have the same issue. Sometimes, not even after a flash, during reboot, it just hangs on the Samsung logo and I have to do a battery pull. Odd, but I have had this same issue from 10.1 - 10.2 - 11.

Worth it to have CM on here and not have to deal with bloat or TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slim1023:
So what is the consensus for best recovery to use? I've had the hangs on the Samsung logo with the newest CWM. Switched to most recent TWRP yesterday and it seems worse. It'll actually hang trying to boot into recovery now. Before it would only hang when trying to boot into CM. Also had the issue when I ran Dirty Unicorns for awhile, so I'm not sure if it's a CM issue. Although, before running DU I was running CM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
I've been running CWM Touch, with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flyinj54:
I have been using PhilzTouch which is based off of cwm 6.0.4.5 and haven't had a boot hang in a long time. I was browsing some other forums yesterday and noticed someone speaking that his boot hangs were all caused by his sd card. Everytime he would have a boot hang he would remove the sd card and it would boot. He also stated that when removing his sd card that he would never experience the boot hang until he reinstalled it. Don't know if this can help anyone since I cannot test this without having the boot hang issues. Just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:

Having proximity issues during phone calls. Whenever I remove the phone from my ear, it stays black. When I hit the home button, the screen will light up, but shut off before I'm able to do anything. Is this a kernel issue? Anyone know a fix for this?

Is your data service on?

Do you have a good service signal? (I have horrible service at my desk so I use Profiles to disable data service (based on wifi no location) but its still a battery killer).

Can you share your setup and see if those of us unlucky enough to have solid signal can replicate your awesome battery life?
