Hi every1,

is there any chance that i can update from 31072014-Nightly to M9 without wiping data? I am thinking about a "dirty flash" like from nightly to nightly, where i just have to wipe dalvik+chace if bootloop for example.

Ty for answer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sronweb:
In my opinion should be sufficient to wipe system, cache and dalvik cache.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nadejo:
there are new gpu drivers, can you include them?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kalapyu:
Ok guys. I am going to do another clean install to avoid bugs on my friend's S4 (she runs GPE).

What should I wipe in Philz recovery? Data? Cache? system?... others?

Wipe data cache system preload?

Thanks all for your kind guidance ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nommy:
jupp, that's correct.

Wipe Data/Factory reset and

format

system

1. Yes, they started to make unified builds 2/18 and you can ofcourse use them. Check the unified builds link and you'll find the latest nigthlies and m-builds available.

2. If you want to make a really clean install, you should copy your important stuff from internal sd card to external or computer and format the internal sd card. That's not necessary, but I would do it if coming from a Touchwiz ROM.

Then in Philz recovery make the 'full wipe before flashing a new ROM' (or something like that), wipe cache and dalvik (not sure if really necessary) and you should be good to go and flash CM :)

After the flash you can move your important stuff back to your internal sd card.

OK i founf this on philz's thread "full wipe before flashing new ROM: wipe user data + format /system and /preload. SD card content is not affected"

If not available on mine, i will manually flash user data and format system
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aleksik:
Yeap, if you're using an older version of Philz which doesn't have that option, you can totally do it that way :)

Guys any idea why I cannot install any Amazon related app while using Cm11? My phone is correctly identified by play store and I haven't any trouble whatsoever with other apps.

I tried to install the Amazon app shop apk manually and it worked, only to find out that the app doesn't allow me to download any app in its marketplace.

Same goes with Amazon mobile, can't install it!

Any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SnoopyDog:
I also had reproducable problems with battery drain when i updated from 16.07. to a newer build > 23.07. Update means: clean cache + dalvik + system.

After a full wipe, re-installing the Version >= 23.07. plus all my apps, the battery behaves better again - like the older build.

But I am fully satisfied with m8 And its not necessary to upgrade to nightly for me unless that has some visual changes because I so happy with m8 performance with battery life.

Hello, I have a problem when I make phone calls.

When I call, I hear perfectly when I speak the other person, but after a few seconds, the other person will not listen to me, (not broadcasting my voice) but I would still listen to the other person.

Interestingly, hang up, and I'll call and everything is always correct.

This error happens whenever I make a call.

Anyone same thing happens? What solutions can there be?

Thats good. Now try wipe cache and dalvik cache ig that also will not work then try to reflesh rom with full wipe.

No, you do not have to purchase again mate. Just login with same google account and download your paid apps. There you will see purchased instead of price in those apps.

Btw - you can also take titanium backup of apps before flashing any new rom later you can restore all your apps with titanium backup app.

Guys I know it's a recurring question, but any idea on how to approach the GPS fix issue? Sometimes it gets a fix but it's terribly imprecise! I tried with GPS status app but It didn't get any better.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
I'm on the M8 in Germany and have no problem with my gps.

I set my gps region to europe in the gps.conf:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.europe.pool.ntp.org

maybe you can do the same for your region to get better gps positions

Go to privacy settings and check you have allowed Google services to use your location do the same with all location things and it will work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
That looks like a more serious issue, hardware, or software (corrupted file or something.). Which CM version your are on?

I have issues with time which takes for fix to happen, but when it happens it works well. If I am not able to get fix with Google maps for example, I start GPS Status pro, and wait for it to locate GPS and GLONASS satellites, and that's it, I can than switch to maps and it will work.

If GPS Status takes long to display satellites, try opening tools, manage A-GPS States and choose download.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aznkenshin:
Okay, praying someone else has this issue... But has anyone been experiencing 5-second freezes where the phone is totally inoperable and is stuck. Then usually followed by a FC when it unfreezes? This happens about once every 10 mins or so when I use it. This has been happening for about a month, and I do nightlies everytime they're out. Currently on 8/3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
This happens a lot to me when i'm on ART. Switching back to Dalvik fixes it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] aznkenshin:
Snap! Really? Was the move-back to Dalvik worth it? I assume so, right? Thanks for this suggestion mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] boqonx:
Unfortunately yes. although ART gives you a nice boost on butteryness on certain apps, it's just not worth the trouble due to the amount of funkyness you get on unsupported apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dmb219:
I've had similar issues for the last few weeks, sometimes when I switched to ART but not always. This morning it happened again while using The Score sports app. I wiped the data for the app and it seemed to fix it but I've not stayed on CM for more than a couple days lately without issues. A clean install with the stock runtime and kernel has been solid as a rock in the past for me but not so much lately. M9 is on the way out, maybe I'll try it and leave it alone. Battery life has also been off for me recently. I try the nightlies because there are things I like about CM but end up back on Shoman's ROM, it's the best I've used. Stable, good features and excellent battery life. Not everyone likes TW but I do and it's been my go to when I need my phone to work. Nothing against CM, it's great, I hope they keep it up I'm feeling a change coming, we'll see...

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

I see others have also had issues with ART, maybe that's the source of some of the trouble. Can't say I notice the difference anyway. Good to hear from everyone.:good:

M9 and other question

Hi every1,

i thinking about flashing M9 on my GT-I9505. I am on 11-20140731-NIGHTLY. May i just dirty-flash (like from nightly to nightly)?

If not: What wipe i should do? Cache+dalvik+facrotyreset? befor/atfter flashing? formating data or system? Wich GApps i should use? Those, i used to first install CM11? (gapps-kk-20140105)? Is there any problem if i use them?

Are there any knowen bugs or not working thing in M9?

If i have to clean install, does any1 know an easy (and no cost way) to backup/restore my sms conversations? Is this possible if i go from nightly to M9 with clean install?

Other Question:

"Settings" -> "Mobile Network", what is the setting "Network operators for? If i click on it, my device is searching and after some time it shows me "search networks", "Choose automatically" and "Telekom.de", "E-Plus", "o2-de", "Vodafone.de"

My sim-card is from German Telekom/T-Mobile. What happens if i click on "Telekom.de" or "Choose automatically"? Or if i click on one of the 3 "not Telekom"?

Thanks for answer :)
