So is the hangouts mic and upside down image bugs fixed now? Any word on the lingering proximity issues or compass? I'm waiting to switch until a few things get ironed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Well compass works to an extend. If you use an app that uses the magnometer is works. The hangouts issues should be fixed. The commits for those was merged a while back. Some compass apps won't work while others will. Its a 4.4 issue and not so much a CM issue. As for the proximity I haven't had any issues with using the phone during calls and such. To me its more than stable enough to run.

Truthfully. Unless someone just finds a miracle hack then yeah your pretty much SOL. Sorry man.

It really sucks that some of the newer people to this device will never get to taste AOSP. I will say they're some nice Touchwiz based builds out there that are pretty damn nice though. And you should be able to run those with SafeStrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
No you can't. I recommend looking at the Safe strap threads applicable to your phone. There is hope if hash code puts together some kexec based asp roms. But don't hold your breath, it will be a while if ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinaldistic:
well my bluetooth audio issue has been fixed, thanks.

now the only bugs I see are miracast and the compass, I know were working on the compas, but are we working in miracast?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
Freezes last a good 15-20 as stated above. Entire phone freezes, not just an individual app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
After dirty flashing a new nightly, is it necessary to reflash optimized dalvik or do the changes stick from the original flash? The only thing that is done besides the flash is a wipe of cache and dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Not sure about the Miracast but also the HDR needs tweaked I feel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amancini92292:
My microphone was operational today and the other person could hear me just fine I'm running the 1/09 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dspalphamu:
Yes. You have to reflash optimized Dalvik each time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
And where does one find that?? :)

DTMF Tones?

Anyone figured out how to dial DTMF tones after a call is connected?

Update - Not sure what I did, disabled/reenabled xPosed/GravityMod, rebooted several times, played with sounds, but....

It's working now. Not sure when it stopped, or what I did to make it work again, but DTMF tones are coming from the phone again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BaronLager:
What results? Battery life? Speed? I got significantly better benchmarks with Optimized Dalvik, but I've been running ART. Not real sure I've seen that much of a difference with respect to battery life between the two, and the speed improvements are marginally noticeable.

My original plan was to run each one a month and record observations, but then I got lazy. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
May not be the latest news but, I wonder what this may hold for CM11?

http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-android-4-4-kitkat-test-firmware-332930/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Interesting. Only effect it would have is maybe give cm more files they need to fix stuff. At least that's all I would think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dspalphamu:
Both Benchmark results and battery life. My battery life with ART was horrible. It has been fantastic with Optimized Dalvik, but I have seen many people say their battery life was great with ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I personally think there are many, many factors that affect battery life. The obvious ones are usage types and duration, screen brightness settings, etc. I also believe, however, which runtime one chooses, which individual apps are installed, and which Gapps package are being used also have an effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
If i was going to unroot my phone back to stock do i need to flashback the MDK modem prior to doing so? I am currently on the M2K package now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
If you wanted to go all the way back to MDK you would want to Odin a stock MDK package. That includes everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Great. So flash the stock MDK modem package in Odin first or do I just need to flash the entire stock package found here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Just the package in that link. It has everything in it including modems and so forth. Just make sure to reroot if you're wanting to keep it from updating and loosing the ability to run AOSP builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] R4NDR01D:
Why won't my build.prop edits stick? After I reboot it reverts back to original. Same thing when I try to switch to ART. When I reboot it says it's Dalvik. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Perfect- thank you. I am thinking about making the switch to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Anytime :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pmania:
[MENTION=399167]scar[/MENTION]mon you run art correct? Does that setting persist through nightlies if you dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
No I don't. It causes some effects with my games so I just run the normal dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I run ART and it does persist through flashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinert012:
Dirty flashes yes, clean flashes no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have not done a clean flash since mid December.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Is it me or is this thread kinda a catch all here lately?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Its not just you. It has kinda of gotten off track. If possible we do need to keep as CM related as possible. I'm as guilty of it as anyone if not more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Yeah I stalk this thread to check about updates and bugs then bug fixes and I see 2 new pages or 5 and its like damn must be good or bad then its just general questions about android ROMs and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jfu:
Not sure about the build.prop edits but do you have Xposed framework installed? Xposed doesn't let you switch to ART since it's not compatible yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Is your file system set to R/W? If it's not the changes will revert. That may explain what your are experiencing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DipRip:
Does anyone have the problem with not being able to dial any more numbers after the call is connected? If I call an automated service, I cannot press 1 for option 1. I have tried everything and have had this problem for a long time.

Tried dialing the number to call each time instead of calling contact or history dial. Toggled dial tones option. Wiped and flashed several times. Turned flex dialer off and on.

I am on MJ7

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Two questions.

What did you come from before CM11?

Have you tried a factory reset instead of just wiping data, cache, and system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DipRip:
I have been on cm builds since they first came out in the summer. I have tried the factory reset option in twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Try the factory reset option in CM's settings menu. Make sure you save anything important as you want to make sure to wipe internal storage too. You'll want to make sure any remnant of past ROM's are gone.

I didn't have dialer issues but things would get "screwy" for no apparent reason. I did the above AND made sure to format both internal and external storage and I haven't had an issue since.

Just a thought. Maybe it will help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zmnypit:
Not sure if this has been posted yet or not but for anyone having battery issues with Location services check this out. I installed it yesterday and battery life is back to norm. Losing 1% in 1:30hr vs the 2-4% I was losing every hr. I also went back to high accuracy and location reporting on.

so weird bug: can't play youtube outside my home Wi-Fi, can't pay YouTube on lte (even though I get more speed on lte than at home) nor could I play it on an open wifi.

I tried clearing youtube cache and data, reflashing the rom, clearing both caches, not installing ktoons kernel, flashing the mk2 modem, basically I did everything but clear overall user data and I still can only play youtube at home.... anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Do you have a firewall or other security app that may be restricting it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jorceshaman:
I had the issue while calling the IRS the other day. I solved it by just closing and re-opening the dial menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jareddlc:
I did noticed my battery was being drained fast. matter of fast just last night i went into battery to confirm my suspicions and location services had the highest consuming percent. Did you install the apk from the link you posted and it fixed it? or what did u do? thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zmnypit:
Correct. Installed the apk listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Badger50:
OK guys. Forgive me for my question but I just can't find the answer. I'm running this Rom with no major problems. I'm running Verizon S4 MDK non safe strap. I understand that aosp 4.4 Roms change your partitions, yet I can read everything with root explorer on my internal and external sd cards. What I don't understand is why, when you want to move an apk or file to either system or data app folder do you get a notification that says you don't have enough space even though I have well over 6 gigs on each sd card. Is this a 4.4, Verizon, or just the way it is kinda thing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated :)

Anytime I try to use ART all my apps start crashing and I get message after message of "Google.apps.process stopped" and location services has stopped...etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
You may want to go back to Davlik runtime and see if things are better. ART is still "Beta" and things may not work properly. From what I see in this thread is it's either hit or miss as it works for some but not for others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Yes dalvik has always worked fine...everytime I try ART though it crashes the apps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SonicJoe:
Make sure you are using an ART compatible gapps package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Didn't think about that. There are two Gapps packages. One for Davlik and one for ART.

PA GAPPS works for both. Although I switched back to Dalvik due to significantly worse battery life on ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I have run into a strange issue today, although I am not sure if it is CM11 related or not, yet.

My wifi has worked without issue since moving up to CM11. Today things changed. Data transfer got very slow and now will only work for about five minutes after turning wifi on. After that I can see the icon say data is transferring, but nothing happens.

The reason I say I'm not sure if it's CM11 related is my signal strength was all over earlier this evening. Ranging from no service to 90db in a matter of moments. When off wifi I usually sit on LTE and occasionally 3G but when all this was happening I was also on 1xRTT (I never see 1x).

I currently run the MK2 modem+nonhlos, flashed it as soon as it became available and have not had an issue. I even reverted to my latest nandroid (1/04 nightly) and the issue persists. I may revert baseband package and see if it still happens, but it just don't make sense.

Once I get to a PC I have a logcat I can post up that on my Google Drive (can't share from the app). The bottom end has a whole bunch of stuff I believe is related to what's happening if someone wants to take a peek. I'll add it here in a few.

Here's the logcat:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzP9_0-z4CyhYzhlQ3hHbF93WHM/edit?usp=sharing

Edit:

It's appears it's possible it could be my internet provider. The missus told me a few minutes ago that the internet on the PC has been acting funny, too. I guess I'll look into that. I almost never use the PC anymore so I don't know how it has been behaving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
That's really odd. Do you have your network mode set to global? I haven't had any WiFi issues in a good while. Running the latest nightly and the MK2 modem + HLOS modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Nope. CDMA+LTE/EVDO. Been that way since the beginning. Gotta be something stupid. Time for a little research so I can get to the bottom of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Normally what it ends up being. Something small that would never think to cause an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swordmastr54:
Are there any known bugs or issues on the latest nightly I'm thinking of doing a clean install I've been running this for 2 months just dirty flashing every few days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crookedview:
Ouy of curiosity, was your battery low (~20%)? Mine has been having strange WiFi slowness when the battery is low.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
There are a couple. Miracast doesn't work. HDR needs some tweaking. Compass doesn't work partially (more of a 4.4 issue) That's about it that I can think of.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

I did find one other little quirk. If you go into developer options and then launch tools. The scan SD option under media tools force closes when you select it. Big whoop I know right lol. Just one of those things I just came across.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
If you go into mobile networks and select carrier settings it FC's, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Sure does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
My kid has an idea about what's up with the phone. He has service issues, too. Says maybe it's because of the CME.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinaldistic:
miracast works, but its like watching youtube on dialup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
No, battery was around 65%.

Well, checked a whole bunch of stuff last night and never figured out what it was. Nothing had changed anywhere and today it is working flawlessly. I guess I'll just chalk it up to an unknown mystery of the universe.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
So you flash this I545VRUEMK2_modem_apnhlos.zip ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yup. That's the one I flashed. Works like a charm.

Yes, it's safe to flash that on CM11. But if you switch to a different ROM, keep in mind that it could cause unwanted issues flashing the full package.

By different Rom you mean a TW one can I still flash that package and say Slimkat or Beanstalk 4.4 ?

Well going from 12-7 to 12-8 I've had to flash gaps each time. I didn't wipe, dirty flash. Only thing different is I enabled ART on 12-7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
Figured that out first try, but it didn't help. The third try I flashed the 12/8 build then the 11/19 gapps. First boot stopped at the Samsung logo. Pulled the battery, booted into CWM, reflashed everything a second time, and it booted. I'm gonna run it for a few and see how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
So just switched over to ART. Did the fridge trick at boot to compensate the heat at first boot. Will see if that effects gapps on update. Will post back with my findings.

Thanks scarmon25 I'll straighten this out on my end then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ups2525:
I tried both ART and optimized Dalvik/Bionic libraries. All I did to enable ART was change Dalvik to ART and reboot. Did you do anything additional to enable ART on your device?

That was it. Just in developer options switched to ART and rebooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Does anyone know how to change an apps dpi? I changed the dpi in build.prop but some apps don't work if you do that. I don't want to use xposed because it isn't compatible with ART.

Btw, I'm on 12/08 and its running very well. Nothing at all to complain about. ART is the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I used the same process as well.

Since installing about 6 hours ago things seem to be settling in. Wifi speeds are still off from CM10.2, but they are not as slow as they were. It only took about two minutes to download CM 10.2.0. Earlier it took 8-10 minutes to download Google Earth (22.3mb vs 200 mb).

I'm sure things will improve as nightly builds are released. Definately gonna daily drive this now that it's better.

Can't wait until the features start to be brought back, actually I can, it's gonna be awsome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Yeah it is solid enough to run daily. All the basic functions are there and working. The minor things like the camera stuff will be addressed as builds come along. But for now this is good. On another note. The new dialer is freaking awesome.

Well. I notice some apps like tapatalk seem to open faster. Others are the same really. I haven't noticed any adverse effects yet.

But as for anything else negative I haven't really seen any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FernBch:
I didn't do the davlik to art swap until a few hours after initial setup. When I rebooted t only took a minute or two to boot and my device never got warm. Could that be due to the wait?

Battery life seems to have improved since initial boot as well. Much slower drain than in the beginning.

Hey, thanks for the help, but I already figured it out, I just google Nova Beta and that got me where I needed to be.

Now here is another question though that maybe you or someone else can answer. I really like the "ok google" hotword detection built into the stock launcher homepages. Anyone know of an app/widget that enables that in other launchers like nova?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scarmon25:
Anyone else running ART. When you go to charge your phone see if it gets warmer than usual when charging. I haven't really used my phone other than to post here and it is warmer than usual. Not horrible warm but enough to notice it. Wonder if its just CM or ART or just mine.

I just switched over about 10 minutes ago and have had mine charging since (although obviously 10 minutes isn't a huge sample size), but mine doesn't seem to be any hotter than normal.
