One thing I can say about this forum we are blessed with a number of outstanding Dev's , so when it comes to custom roms you have a great selection to choose from.

One thing I do recommend to use for good battery life etc. is

I'm really happy with the battery consumption with the Echoe's 4.4 v1 Slim version.

Using it with a 4.2.2 MGA knox free bootloader , faux kernel and MKE modem. No random reboots since i started using it a week ago.

Only problem i had with the slim version was that calendar wasn't syncing due to it was "too slim" :)

Hi, i started using themer today and modded a theme for my use. But i noticed a really annoying slow changing of the current page. I have theme where are shortcuts for jumping to other screens. But when i tap on it i have to wait more than a second to make it change (with scrolling its the same). Any help for this issue?
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
What version of themer are you running,also what device are you running it on m8 and what firmware ? If it is the latest version of themer there is a known delay issue, this may be related to this.Please remember this is still in beta so please report any issues you have to help make themer better,thanks
[Themer General Discussion] Gnaver:
With the new version everything is ok. Only themes made for different dpi is lagging but that's understandable.
[Themer General Discussion] dj_mol3y_x8:
[MENTION=3056480]Gnaver[/MENTION]

Try this with any theme you use that is for a different DPI

1st get the theme all set as I should be (or till your happy with the look.

2nd now export the theme (this should now save the theme to your DPI)

3rd after exporting now set the theme again using the version you exported and see if you still have lag.

This is not 100% going to work but its 100% worth a try

Please report back if this works or not

All the best

I have an at&t phone my bro bought from NY and it has a UCALJ2 modem and omnirom 4.4.1 on it and works fine unlocked in India.

My question is that will updating it to UCAMH3 will firstly lock the phone?

2nd will it work in india as I think there is a bandwidth difference from US and here tho I haven't noticed any issues as such

3rd will the efs backup suffice from TWRP 2.6.3.1 and is TWRP the best method to flash the zip

and lastly will the flashing work on omnirom 4.4.1 and in case it gets locked any ideas how to unlock it before restore

also to restore what all will I have to wipe?Clean install or will just wiping some stuff do.Thank you just wanna be sure what i'm doing before I flash a modem and take out one of the most important part of a phone :P

2ndly could u please elaborate the 3 things so I don't do them

I'm a user not a developer so I just follow the steps I see on this forum,if I have something wrong would be good to know before I progress on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Nothing in UCAMH3 will lock your phone...

But the way you are asking about 3 different versions of android does concern me a bit...

As mentioned above...

Read the threads carefully in the OP for any rom you are considering...

Android 4.1 and 4.2 are pretty safe bets...but 4.3 and 4.4 introduce many changes that are more technical....and missing steps in the later versions "will" cause damage...

Regardless of what you decide...make a few good "full" backups and place them on external storage for that "oh crap" moment...g

what happened to A2DP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suxsem:
Now we have a fully working (?) cm11... the problem is that there are a lot of gapps packages and no one is "the final" one...

The point is, why we must release updated gapps every time google release new stuff... when there are other people that are already doing that? :D

The answer is: gapps packages for other phones break panorama on maguro

So I think that would be a good thing if I create a zip package with ONLY GOOGLE CAMERA for maguro. And i created it, picking the necessary files from dhacker29 (thanks!) 20131207 gapps.

So... WHAT DO YOU NEED to have a fully working cm11?

∗ = recommended

1) ROM

Official CM11 nightlies --- changelog ∗

PlayfulGod CM11 (may include addition features!)

2) GAPPS

Nexus 5 gapps (Standard or Core) ∗

ParanoidAndroid gapps

CM gapps

3) KERNEL (optional)

Mpokang_kernel-v10_1080p --- info

4) PANORAMA AND MMS VIDEO FIX

Panorama and mms video fix v4 (~0.4mb) by Suxsem

INSTALL IN THIS ORDER:

READ NOTES BELOW

WIPE DATA IF YOU ARE NOT YET ON CM11

FLASH ROM

FLASH GAPPS

FLASH KERNEL (optional)

FLASH FIX PACKAGE

NOTES

If you get errors while flashing be sure to be on latest

recovery

... you can use this one: TWRP

Not all gapps packages include

Google camera

! (for example Nexus 5 Core gapps doesn't include it)

If you have chosen a gapps package that doesn't include it, you can download it from here and flash after gapps: Nexus 5 Google camera

If you need

Face unlock

feature download it from here and flash after gapps: Nexus 5 Face unlock

Fix package must be last to flash

because some kernels include files that would overwrite the fixed ones

that's it. you will not have any more problems with sound search, panorama, face unlock, play store, ecc ecc... and all this stuff is compatible with ART.

most important thing: I didn't test all this really deep. I just tested with a limited types of configurations (didn't tested with pa gapps nor with cm gapps nor with different kernels ecc ecc), i only tested with PlayfulGod cm11, GApps Standard 4.4.1, mpokang kernel and ART... so please let me know if this works for you (and please test this with PA or CM gapps, also with ART)! :)

it's really strange because playfulgod should be EXACTLY the same of official cm11, except for screenshot fix that will be in official cm11 from 20131212 :) anyway, because they are the same rom i think that it is more kind to use playfulgod :)

while installing greenify. i discovered that was caused by a bad restoring with ROM TOOLBOX app and i fixed it deleting greenify folder from /data/data and greenify apk from /data/app

can you please try to locate something like com.whatsapp* in /data/data and /data/app and delete it?

or maybe you can try to do a full wipe, unless other users can confirm that they got the same error...

I skip the kernel and it works. Try flashing the kernel afterwards, stuck again. Try another version still stuck. Now I need a working kernel! My phone doesnt boot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suxsem:
ahah i just got the same problem :D we must remember that other kernels don't have ramdisk and must be flashed over cm!

great! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
It's better to flash all gapps and free up space on other partition for other stuff downloaded from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
How is that applicable on the Galaxy Nexus!? There is no partition and the space used will be same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M5devil:
Sorry for my ignorance... I read that on the PA site where it lists different types of gapps to choose from. I guess it's referring to N4 and N5

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

This is what I was referring to:

[*]Full GApps are so big. Will I have any space left over for my stuff after I install?

Full GApps will use LESS of your device's available storage than using a 'bare bones' GApps and downloading the apps from the Play Store. This is because GApps are installed entirely in the System partition, leaving the Data (User) partition for your non-Google apps. Since the System partition is a fixed size, installing GApps here uses storage that would otherwise be left unused (and unavailable for other use).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
I guess this is what he is saying. Let's say u flash a bare bones GApps but end up using all of Google's Play services. This will hog up your /data partition by installing all the Google apps one by one. But if u flash a complete GApps package like PA GApps, those get installed in /system partition and not /data.

This saves space as normally sdcard is also mounted in /data/media.

By using less space in /data you get to use more space for your music videos or other apps, etc.

On the other hand if u r someone who ends up NOT using all of Google's Play apps and prefer a small portion of Google's apps (like me), a bare bones GApps package is easier to manage and install. You do loose out a bit of space in /data but at least you don't need to manage wavelocks or other derps that can happen with Google Play apps. This is also the approach Banks uses more or less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Yes I get a that. But the Galaxy Nexus gives around 13.3GB of space and it includes the system as well as the data.

So how would it eventually matter whether the APK is placed in /system/app or /data/app.

I think the point is valid only for phones having expandable memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] movelbit:
Easy.

1- No gapps, you have 13.3gb left on /data.

2- You install full gapps on system and you still have 13.3gb left on /data.

3- You install it on data and you will only have about 13.2gb left on /data.

That's because /system has a fixed partition size, whatever you install gapps there or not. It's space is not available to users. It is reserved to /system

Enviado do meu Galaxy Nexus através de Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Oh is it! Wow. Had no idea about it. How much space is reserved for /system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
670 MB or some such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
According to Titanium Backup 674 MB for system. So basically we have ~13 GB of space for /data and another ~650 MB on /system

The difference is where the apks are stored haha.

Now that both the nightly and Banks' GAPPS have been updated to 4.4.2, does your "fixing package" for panorama and face unlock need to be upgraded to 4.4.2, or is it usable as is?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cubeever:
Flashed it as it is with Playfulgod's 4.4.2.

No Problems:good: U can use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiderat:
Thanks. Good to know.

Let me revise the question. [MENTION=2576353]Suxsem[/MENTION] Do you plan to release an update of your "fixing package" now that 4.4.2 has been released, or does 4.4.2 not affect (update) any of the files that are included in it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suxsem:
works as is! :) when dhacker or playfulgod will update their gapps package i will extract the new files (if will be there) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suxsem:
FIRST POST UPDATED!

- added link to PA and CM gapps, i still strony recommend nexus 5 gapps

- post cleaned

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiderat:
The link to CM GAPPs and to Nexus 5 GAPPs is the same (i.e., it is to BANKs' GAPPs). I assume that you meant for the CM link to be to the GAAPs by dhacker29. As the dhacker29 package is dated 9 Dec, I'm not sure it is 4.4.2; more likely it is 4.4.1.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Suxsem:
BIG NEWS!

after a lot of try-fail i found the exact file that broke panorama! it's system/lib/libjni_mosaic.so

This has 2 benefits:

I have uploaded the new panorama fix v3 that includes only this file, and it's only 400kb!

Now we can use Nexus 5 Google camera (available in standard gapps or as separate package) and i think it's a little better!

Be sure to read the updated NOTES in first post :)

if anyone want to update just flash ROM > STANDARD GAPPS > FIX > KERNEL without any wipe

enjoy!

oh, and i will ask paranoidandroid gapps maintainer to include this file in their gapps so maybe in the future we can just flash their gapps without any fix :)
