No, I have not removed Adblock Plus. Just turned it off when testing. Uninstalled updates for Google play, it factory-restored to 4.3.11, issue still occurs. Google Play updated, issue persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaGamer12345:
I just found out what the problem was. I had Adblock Plus before root, and had custom network configs. Turns out, since ABP was no longer routing the connections, certain apps couldn't connect. I got rid of the configs, and started Google Play, and BAM it connected. So, I fixed the problem.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Have not installed gapps just been worried about getting the major things fixed like sd
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
I installed it, gsm and data work fine, signal bars only display 1 or 2 bars for me like evervolv, and still the graphical issues with browser and gapps. Very smooth though.

What makes this ROM bigger than the other? I'm bout to try out both but was just wondering also congrats and many thanks for the hard work
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I concur!!!

Same observations: ROM is as smooth as butter and quick. Data and WiFi acquisition is same as OEM sense. Excellent job! [MENTION=2681593]sportsstar89[/MENTION]

Only problems I've seen are the same as [MENTION=693610]jeepers007[/MENTION] evervolv kitkat, default browser and some gapps aren't rendering properly. They show as all black or have black blocks. Also camera issues, which has been mentioned. Again great work!

adapting for 3.4 kernel

hey sports is it alot of work to adapt a CM rom for the 3.4 kernel? if not can you adapt this or any JB version roughly for 3.4 kernel?? it's easier to test the kernel with a aosp rom than a sense rom..i dont have the minimum requirements to build up a rom from source cuz my whole pc has like less than 10GB free hard space :) ... just for the testing purposes of radio BT WIFI and sensors and audio :good:
[HTC Amaze 4G] lifeisfun:
This is awesome! Thanks for the great work!

Will have to revert back to jelly but once black box problem is solved

looking forward to this as daily driver. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] typolad:
I seem to be messing this install up, so I'm going to go back to your other awesome version. But first, a question:

Which gapps should one use with this?

Thank you,
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
I've been using PA Gapps and seems to work well. I've tried another in that past with Evervolv but can't remember which one but worked just as well...

here's a link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 there seems to be a lot there!
[HTC Amaze 4G] GoodOlTarvis:
Are those constant issues like call/speaker volume not working or external SD card mounting fixed at last? Is there maybe any chance of these fixes being backported to, say, 10.1 or 10.2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
well yeah i agree, i've been really into this ROM ever since i tested it, it wasn't an app issue since i flashed the ROM many times ending up in bootloops for the camera apps. i tried porting in the 4.4 camera from a nexus 4 to see if that worked since the libs are similar to an extent. bootloop... waiting for an update for the camera to be fixed

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

anyone tried contacting sports? i pm'd him, no response so far
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
No, I haven't. It's generally not good form to PM a dev about bugs. This is why we have the dev threads. He's a full-time student and involved with other projects besides this one. I imagine he's already read and knows about the issues. Usually most devs will post when they have updates or solutions. My take is this release was only a few days ago, so there has been no resolution yet. Perhaps when the latest PAC or Evervolv is released if there are improvements they can be cherry-picked back into this ROM.

In the meantime have patience, as all of these KK ROMs with ION kernels are very new and still works in progress.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Ok I finally got around to flashing the latest build. I didn't update the drivers because I would only get boot loop after... but either way it works really well!! always thought it was smooth! I tried transferring files to my laptop via Bluetooth and it worked very well, paired instantly and sent files flawlessly! I will try pairing it tonight to my wife's car and play music/make calls to test it out.

Tethering does start up and does show up on my laptop but it won't connect and I tried windows trouble shooting for the fun of it but nothing... so I decided to try Wifi Tether app and it says tethering started with error. I attached the screen shot of the log it produced for everyone's info as to what didn't work as it means nothing to me lol

The camera is as everyone else says... not working so well. If the flash is on auto and you take a picture the flash stays on (only if the flash is required, if not it takes ok pictures) until you go and manually turn it off with the Flash light app (anyone else get this?)

that seems to be the only issues I see... Thanks again Sport!

Edit: OK I tested Bluetooth with my wife's car and it did the same as WiFi.. The car would recognize it and vise versa but couldn't connect...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
i concur, tried connecting my phone to my car's audio system, took a while for it to pair, maybe it's the system in the car... but it did, played music flawlessly

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
Another bug I noticed today while playing music is that if you're moving around on the phone with music playing in the background it starts to skip. When you stop using your phone the music plays well. Same as when the phone is locked the music plays well, as soon as you unlock it it skips.

It's not like cm10 where it would skip once every now and then this is worse, almost as if there is not enough ram.

Anyone else have this happening too them?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KT-82166:
You're not alone.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:

[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
Does this happens no matter which music player app you use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
No it doesn't matter what app... I tried play music and double twist (that's the one I always use) and it behaved the same on either one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Ok people with boot loop issue the kernel is very much under volted over volt it to +25 mv that solved my problems and you can over clock it to 1.7 not above if you over clock it even more it will instantly restart and interactive governor is better.

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

And the music only skips if you go to the home screen from anywhere or go anywhere from the home screen. And it not like it skips 2 secs and misses data , its like the system is overload and its difficult for it to perform so many tasks. Get the genuine idea????
[HTC Amaze 4G] incapable86:
You have to turn off Google now and OK Google and then the music won't skip/pause. Try opening Google search while playing music it will skip music because it's listening for your OK Google command.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Wow man great work such a simple solution thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dave O:
I just tried that and it didn't change anything.. It's weird because I've been playing sibs pretty heavy games and they work better then on super Sense (my dd).
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:

[HTC Amaze 4G] kusso92:
More great work from you Sports ur awesome! Thank you for still supporting the Amaze. And for still being so focused on fixing issues as well. You're probably one of if not the best dev for our Amaze.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Unfortunately, he forgot to add it to his update. He told us so when he posted. You're Correct they're easy to add with either WinZip or winrar. Just extract them and add the entire system folder to the zip which will overwrite the existing files, then flash as usual. You'll find this to be both snappy and quite battery efficient. It has a lot going for it. The black boxes are gone and most apps are working well. The main issues remaining are camera, Bluetooth, and WiFi tethering related. I never tried the messaging app, so I can't say if that's been resolved, but there has been much progress and it looks promising. For me it's not quite DD material yet, but for those not needing what is lacking, it's certainly a very good ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
The red boxes around the apps were because he had enabled some debugging features in that build. The last one doesn't have that issue since he turned them off. So no, the red boxes are gone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Sweet, I'll be downloading, adding libs and flashing soon.

Thanks for the help man :)

EDIT: The download keeps crashing at about 109mbs and the size file to be downloaded is 198mbs. I've tried a number of times, anyone else having this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Thanks, but Odysseus cleared that up for me already.

My main concern right now is that I'm getting incomplete downloads from goo.im, which sucks cause I wanna try adding the libs and flashing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Goo has got issues right now, that's for sure. I tried to download a fresh copy of energy last night that was corrupted. They've been having all sorts of issues since they changed hosting services.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Hmm damn, does that mean I have to keep trying or just wait till the servers are stable?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You can keep trying there really isn't another choice for this ROM as it probably isn't mirrored anywhere else.

My issue was the download says it's finished but the file was slightly smaller than it should have been. The strangest part is the hash check passed from what goo said it should be. Since NRGZ28 never posted a hash in his OP there's no other way to check. I also downloaded energy from a link someone posted on a Chinese website, but the hash on that one doesn't jibe with the one I previously downloaded and have stored on my PC which I know is a good version because I've been using it for 6 months.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Why does everyone have to get in to fights like seriously. I'm busy. I'm sorry that I can't cater to the XDA communitie's every whim.I work hard and put in alot of hours to try to get something I want on my device then to share it with you guys. I do this all for free because I believe in open-source if somebody does not like the speed I'm going or think that they can do better feel free to fork my repo and make you're own rom. run this

repo init -u git://github.com/TeamNightmare/android.git -b cm-11.0

and get to work if you think you can do better
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pons:
Thread cleaned. Alright, gents. This is a development thread, not a debate team. Keep the thread on topic with the OP. If any user is being argumentative, report the post and move along. Do not reply and egg them on; it only makes matter worse.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
AMAZing :D

I guess goo is working properly now :) I got the download, checked md5 and added the adreno libs to it, installed and I can't even begin to describe how much I love it.

The only thing that I wish was working is the camera, but that's on a hold for now.

Oh and the power menu, namely the reboot menu, I thought it'd have the advanced one, where you can go into recovery and have a hot reboot.

But I guess the 4ext app will compensate.

I noticed there's no volume wake mod on this, no biggie since there's the camcorder mod zip that I use

I took some screenshots of my Antutu results, and I haven't gotten results like this on any 4.3/4.4 rom that I've tried.

I must say... It's simple, sleek, clean and I love it. Thanks for the hard work :D :D :D

This is definitely going to be my new daily driver.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tnkrer:
You have to turn on the advanced power menu from developer options which you have to turn on by pressing on about phone multiple times.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
Did u have any connectivity problem with bluetooth?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
a full wipe using superwipe helped, my bluetooth wasn't working either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
If the camera is ever fixed try focal its in play store its especcially designed for cm roms and the features on that baby are beyond awesome it will be better than the stock camera.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
i second that, i did however try to replace the lib files, ended up a bootloop, it's certain it's the ROM not the app :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Oh! Thanks so much, I forgot about that. I kept tapping kernel, but it's build date or something you have to tap lolol

The bluetooth is recognised and connected to my laptop but I haven't been successful in sending anything today. I'll try sending something to somebody's phone today at school.

Did superwipe help getting your bluetooth fully functional or is it still not working?

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

I tried Focal, but I think it's something in the rom itself that's messing up the exposure in our device. Tapping the screen to focus gets you either a properly focused black screen or a blurry image of where you're pointing the camera.

I don't see much need for using my phone as a camera in the near future, so I'll hope that sports finds a fix whenever he can. :) :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
yep, my bluetooth connected fine with another phone, was able to recieve a photo and send one, then it just fails to recognize, have to wipe again to make it work though :confused:

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

i think everything in the ROM is awesome, only for the camera, i managed to get one or two snaps that were ok, though but it's on your luck, sometimes the exposure is too much but when it's ok it's kinda blurry ... overall the battery life is really amazing, i couldn't get this much time when my phone was Nergized :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
I've never actually used Nergy but I've heard great things about it.

I loved the Sense 4.1 interface I had with Sensai Rom (thanks [MENTION=4935918]SuperAfnan[/MENTION] :D )

One of the main issues I had with the 4.3/4.4 roms were the gpu and camera, but this rom only has the camera issue to deal with so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I barely use bluetooth so it wouldn't matter to me anyway lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
I've tried nearly every one here and each and everyone of these roms are excellent depending on your taste, but energy is one I keep coming back to, just that everything works, because it's based on the stock one. This is the best as far as kit Kat is concerned` I just hope the last remaining bugs are squashed so I can get some kit Kat love
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Wow I did not know I would miss a camera this much, I hope it's not too complex. This rom is amazing, I'd love to see it perfected.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jafferkhan:
it's kinda unfortunate hTC made hardware so complicated and unsupported for the Amaze, even though the sensation is less powerful but the hardware support is pretty extensive. i have tried to get a hold of the qualcomm drivers and the cyanogenmod team to develop or help develop the libs for the camera, still haven't gotten back to me though :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Muneeb Saeed:
Hhahahaha!!! They arent going to help you, you think sportstar didnt think of this. The one who can fix this, is the one who has the device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sarnz:
I came across temasake's unofficial cm11 galaxy s3 thread. They had a similar problem with exposure meter and i know our hardwares are miles apart but they fixed it. They made a patch to correct the value exposure meter was returning and other stuff i didnt understand but can we use their solution in any way to find a solution for our cm11 ?

Someone know why we just have 774 mb of RAM? It's a bit less then the first release, no?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I'm not sure, but in the past the "missing" RAM has been utilized by the GPU which always reserves some portion system memory, as it has no discrete memory for itself. Perhaps with the new ION kernel more memory is allocated for this purpose than was the case in the older legacy PMEM kernels. Again, this is just an educated guess, perhaps [MENTION=2681593]sportsstar89[/MENTION] will be able to chime in and elaborate when he has the time to post here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Odysseus is exactly right. I allocated more ram to the gpu to help ION performance.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
This has been a problem with JellyBean and newer ROMs, not only for our Amaze, but on my old HD2 as well (and it used TWRP not 4ext). ROM Toolbox has a tool called "scripter" that can do it. The creator, JRummy16, also has a scripting tool in his busybox download tool. I'm sure there are others.

ok the next thing i would do is to reflash the stock ruu :confused: just to be sure i've got everything configured properly and then reflash everything again... i walked through 4ext settings, the only settings we need to check is to smartflash enable, other than that it should fix permissions itself ... you can also make a backup with 4ext and wipe everything, then restore from the backup, the backup made by 4ext fixes permissions by default
