But i prefer Supersu to superuser.

I feel superuser is too slow.

And i read somewhere that disabling the CM11 superuser results in NO ROOT.

hmm, for me, the "add widget" button was lost and notifications were not shown, only clock. i´m happy that my statusbar isn´t laggy, so i dont need that build.prop entry and can have this notifications like on an iphone, i like it very much.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperia_ion:
still 8mpx.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

i think you should do a clean install again and edit build.prop then flash new gApps on OP post #4

enable the ART if u want to right before u flash new gApss

i did those step just now and having no issue at all.

some people said art can improve battery life .

is that true [MENTION=5031348]MrGezz[/MENTION] ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrGezz:
kinda true , because if you read at xperia s opensemc discussion thread , there is someone who manage to play sot for 4 hours ..

People having problems switching to ART, if you use xposed, it will conflict and it will automatically revert it with dalvik. If you want to use dalvik, disable xposed and then try switching, it will work :) [MENTION=4631413]utsav911[/MENTION] is this your issue as well?

[MENTION=5031348]MrGezz[/MENTION] : you can add this info in the OP, it might help others.

And yes, no battery charging icon since v3,

TEMPORARY SOLUTION: hide the battery icon from settings, interface. Use xposed module- Gravitybox and enable custom battery icon from there. I use the circle battery, and its great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrGezz:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
yes. I am using xposed framework.

Thanks for the solution :good:

[MENTION=5031348]MrGezz[/MENTION] sometimes the screen goes black and there is no response. I have to restart the phone.

@MrGezz

Do you notice a weird display issue on the screen?

It's something 1-2 px wide vertical line (to the leftmost side) that is overlayed almost everywhere. And its weird because when i am taking screenshot, it doesn't appear.

I noticed it on nova launcher, quickpic, Games, widgetlocker.

theres two type of widget option right?

i thought that u mentioned about widget on the homescreen.

do u have any idea to fix this ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Give MrGeez some time, i think he will look into it ;)

For now, i think you have to choose what you want: a smooth stausbar or custom widgets on lockscreen.

ro.config.low_ram=true is for devices with low ram, so i think, that it automatically disables the widgets.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperia_ion:
how do you fix your status bar ?

or u just dont mind having laggy statusbar again ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Its not that laggy on my Ion, and dont forget that this rom ist just v3 on alpha/beta status. I think its something i have to live with for now.

With the notifications on the lockscreen, i dont use the statusbar that much.

Hello MrGezz i installed this rom and alongwith it i installed the walkman port which is the latest one i.e. 8.1 via flashing and now whenever i play music from walkman or even apollo then the phone shows DSP manager crashing and after that i do not hear any sounds from phone not music or ringtones or anything else only except some notification tones and yes in equaliser it earlier showed sound enhancements and dsp manager and i selected sound enhancements . after that i reverted it back to the dSP manager and then the walkman keeps acting wierdly and the songs automatically start to shuffle continuously and doesn't stop untill i turn off my phone and when i restart it it shows updating android everytime(if that points to something it shows updating 22 apps) and then the phone behaves normally .

Please help me because it would really be good tohave walkman in the Cm11 build. Thank u so much

where do you download it ?? maybe it still not compatible with cm11 , is there any cm11 user that claim the mod work ???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] seymur993:
What i've found bout bugs (or other lacks of stuff): lots of stuff in camera are wrong (camera in photo mode is just lagging, lack of functions, no 12MP photos, scenery stuff is messed up, it also lags hard on recording fullHD, so the video comes out laggy too, HD mode only lags while recording, no lags on video after).

Couple of things arent working smooth: there are some nasty lags with drawing status bar up and down and when sliding into "google now".

"Ok, Google" voice command function doesnt work.

Kinda like that for now (thats what i found).

ports working in order to get the latest Activesync to work properly?

My Desktop PC currently has an issue where the USB2.0 controller isn't working as I cannot locate the correct drivers to install. Whenever I plug a device in, I get the 'This device could perform faster if connected to a USB2.0 port .. blah blah..' message.

I want to install some programs onto my colleagues Exec and when I plug in the cable I get 'this device is not recognised' message..

So does the PC HAVE to have a working USB2.0 controller in order for Active sync to work correctly?!

Cheers!

Dennis! West London UK!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
i only have usb 1.1 on this laptop and it all works fine, my work lappy has usb 2 and that works fine, but quicker!!

try pluggin in the usb when the jasjar has been off for over 10 seconds, i used to have to do that until the latest rom was out.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kasu:
How 'bout trying synching through Bluetoooth or Irda ??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DennisCooper:
connecting to my PC...

Hiya !

Thanks so far!..

I've just tried connecting this Exec to my desktop and this time it connected .. weird!

the PC has been rebuilt about 2 weeks ago so it's a fresh install of XP Pro. I just cant locate the correct USB2.0 drivers that's all.

Connect up the Exec and it just connected, punch in the password and I get the confirmation of connection.

I run my TomTom install and i get past the first few splash screens until it gets to the confirm to install - usually at this point, clicking next will 'talk' to the PDA and then ask if you want to 'install in the default locations' (at least thats what it does on my Xda2i)

Here is just craps out with a windows error asking me if i want to send the error to MS.

bit weird huh guys?!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dah54:
Hmm what makes you believe you don't have the correct drives? From what you are seeing my guess is you have a USB 2.0 hub that you are plugging into a USB 1.2 port. The message is attempting to tell you that the hub would work faster if it was connected to a USB 2.0 port.

The JasJar as far as I know is NOT a USB 2.0 device, and should not give you this message. I've got a USB 2.0 hub that if I plug into my computers USB 1.2 port will generate this message, even with this message the JasJar will sync. Note that a JasJar with a low battery can trip the max amps draw that a hub will support and be disconnected from the HUB, preventing you from syncing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DennisCooper:
Hiya!

Dah 54 - The reason I know that the USB2.0 controller drivers are not installed is that I can see in Device Manager that there isn't a USB 2.0 Controller installed! - The reason I know it should be there is that before my PC rebuild 2 weeks ago, I HAD it there. The drivers are a problem to locate for this motherboard. It hasn't anything to do with USB2.0 external hubs at this stage. Once I get the USB 2.0 controller installed, I can test by plugging in my various external hard drives, USB mem sticks, etc etc. Once I know they work, I can then re plug my external USB2.0 hubs I use to connect all my peripherals together !

I think the boosting up of the battery did the trick, once it had some power, it continues to charge the battery and I could then indeed sync easily. I've installed a couple of required apps now, it's only the TT5.1 i'm having problems installing...

I'll see what else I can do for now...

Cheers!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
Well, as the name of the thread explains quite well, my dialer is not searching in the contact names. It only searches the numbers.

The phone is pretty new. Bought it last week while travelling internationally. Didn't use the phone features till today when I got back. I have downloaded and installed a lot of games so I don't want to factory reset it.

Any ideas?

PS: Tried searching through XDA and Google for a solution. Didn't find anything that could help me. Don't bash me if I missed something. :P

SOLUTION:

Delete google account and re-add it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Couple things I can think of.

1) Have you got your contact sync on?

2) dialed enough numbers? Think you need to dial 2-3 before it shows last I tried.

3) what FW you using etc?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
1. Sync is on.

2. Made enough calls but I don't see how that should affect searching.

3. PDA: N9005ZHUBMI7

PHONE: N9005XXUBMI5

CSC: N9005ZZHBMI7
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Ah One of the firmwares doesn't do the number prediction on dialling. Can't remember which one it was, but I've seen threads about it before. But it is possible it's your region
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
Oh. That's surprising.

Bah, will download another version tonight. Slow download speed here. Would report tomorrow.

Thanks. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
Update:

I had installed whatsapp (finally) and noticed that smart dialling started working after that.

But it only searches in the names of contacts who are linked to whatsapp. The ones who are linked only to my google account are still not searched.

This is the weirdest bug I have ever encountered in any phone/ROM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Hmm that is bizarre. open dialer > hit the soft key > settings and choose contacts to display? maybe it's not set to default (All) - or like I said previously, could be the firmware (cannot find the thread that mentions about it now :( )
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tclocki:
I see, thought it was gonna help. That happened to me right after I upgraded my s4 to 4.3 in october. It really annoyed me. Hope you get it sorted out soon.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] FeralFire:
Solved it by deleting the google account and readding it. DOn't know why I didn't think of it before. :P

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Odeon:
Smartdial (pinyin only) doesn't work on latest stock firmware (6.0.1) for Samsung Note 4 Duos, too.

Latin etc alphabetic languages OK.

Strange, because in stock contacts app, hieroglyphic names are grouped to the correct pinyin's first letter!

So the hieroglyphs are rendered to pinyin by system internally, but it's not used in the dialer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] udine1981:
Hi everyone !

I just would like to expose my solution about this problem. I have a Honor 9 with official firmware and this function worked like a charm for few weeks, but stop a day !

So to get back this function, I had to go to the contacts application, next click on "more", next "organize contacts" and finally "repair index data".

And it works !

So now if I want to make a phone call to "Sophie" for example, I can just type : "76" or "767".

My phone is in french. Application contacts, puis "plus", puis "organiser les contacts", puis enfin "Réparer l'index des données"
[Galaxy Note 3 General] TGeRi:
Hi udine1981!

I have the exact same problem with my Honor 8, but after I do reindexing, it only works for a few hours and after that I cannot find the contacts again...

Was reindexing once a permanent solution on your case?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pixle-Dude:
I'm trying to up date my parents Nexus 7 to 4.4.2 but it refuses to install.

The device advises that the update is available. It downloads without any issues. The device reboots and starts the install process. It reaches around 20% and displays "ERROR" with the android logo lying flat with an exclamation mark.

The device is brand new and has not been rooted etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
When you see the android with exclamation mark hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery. Use the volume button to highlight "wipe cache partition", press power button to select. Once that is done select reboot. Maybe wiping the cache well have helped. Try the update again. If that doesn't work, you have two choices that I can think of. Try a factory reset or adb sideload the update, for adb sideload you need a computer with adb setup on it. If it was rooted with a custom recovery there would be other options. Good luck!

To get to stock recovery... with the tablet off, hold down the power button and while you continue to hold it down press the volume down button until it boots into the bootloader screen. Use the volume button to select "Recovery mode" then press power button. Now you will see the android with exclamation mark again. Hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pixle-Dude:
many fauteo

Hi, thanks for replying.

I have tried this to no avail. I do however have further information regarding this error. When I press the power button and up I can see that it says "/system/lib/libchromeview.so" has unexpected contents. Does this mean that the software is not suitable for this particular device.

This all seems very strange as it's a brand new device and I'm getting the software from google directly?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
The OTA will check the "System" to see if anything has changed, if it thinks anything has changed then it will fail. The update should absolutely work for your device. If a factory reset doesn't give you the ability to do the update, and I have my doubts, return/exchange it. Don't wait too long! Otherwise you need to use adb and at the very least, flash the system image to fix the problem. I personally can't think of any other options that you have. I don't know for sure but maybe there was an app that changed "/system/lib/libchromeview.so." Maybe the Chrome Browser or Chrome Beta. Try and uninstall the Chrome updates and/or Chrome Beta if it is installed. Settings/Apps/All.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pixle-Dude:
areguen given

Yes, I was thinking exchange would be the best option. Thanks for your help with this.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
No problem!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pandae:
There's no need to exchange for what's a relatively simple software fix. If you search the forums, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for unlocking the bootloader, then flashing the stock recovery and latest ROM.

I no longer trust Google's OTA update process anyway. Flashing the full stock ROM ensures you'll start with a perfectly clean slate.

1- root your device by dr.ketan tool and be careful "backup backup backup" especially efs file cause you will lost your- imei - after downgrade.

2-copy the rom you have download to sdcard .

3-open the mobile odin apk and you will see somewhere 'open file' click this option and go to sdcard thats where you have save the rom lately
