sending "group" gmail (ver 4.8 or 4.9) does not work

I cannot send an email to one of the "groups" I have created in gmail (desktop). All the groups show up in android but when I type in the name of group into the "to" or "cc" field gmail will not recognize the group and either populate the field or show up like name would (the group just turns pink). One of the "top contributors" in google help said this was a "known issue" in kit kat for gmail but the two work arounds he proposed dont work. I tried going back from gmail ver 4.9 to 4.8. that downgrade worked but the "feature" to do group email still did not work. also sending to groups through android kit kat "contacts" did not work. any other ideas please?

the gps is not acting up as much now. But I am having trouble with no incoming notification sounds. been playing with this for days with no success. it was working originally. It may be a google voice issue. I may uninstall and reinstall google voice app but that scares me everytime as google is so screwed up on google voice its pitiful

It does seem that toggling on and off the "high accuracy" gps button in setting pull down menu seems to get gps to lock on to satellites again at least in maps 6.14 and strava app

Can the kernel work with 2 way call recording?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
Very happy with this 4.4.4 ROM. I've been installing the nightlies almost every morning and everything has been solid across the board. I can't imagine ever going back to any prior android release on this phone since this sets the new standard for a stable fully functional baseline on this hardware (sans BLN). I've never been able to say that about any other Android phone where the OS was a substantial revision ahead of what the manufacturer/carrier released as end of life.

The only good reason to install any other 4.4.4 ROM would be to expand the customization options availability where Bluetooth is not as important.

Thanks Sultanxda for your solid work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxboarderxx:
Here here. And thank you SoCal for pointing me to that GPS app. It seems to have helped with the locking. I've played a few rounds of golf and the GPS has been dead on. Also, really appreciate you rolling out those nightlies.

Hey guys can you help me out? I cant play any videos on chrome. I think the web videos are not playable. Isnt? Cant watch any online videos. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I don't use Chrome, but I just installed it (not the beta) and searched for web videos and started playing them just fine. Can you play this video?

http://devour.com/video/man-made-leaf/

Maybe the web videos you are trying to play are not made for mobile or are using codecs that are not supported by your device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
Just want to say thanks to [MENTION=2560027]SoCalHTCFuze[/MENTION] for the nightlies. Really feeds my addiction:) Usually checking http://www.cmxlog.com/11/skyrocket/# to see what changes i get.

I alternate between between this ROM and ParanoidAndroid. The other ROM's are superb, but for whatever reasons I come back to these.

[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION], what are your future Plans for this ROM/Kernel? BLN support (seen comments on this in other posts)? Have you got your computer back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Nope, my computer is still in repair. I don't mind adding BLN to the kernel. To give you an idea of future plans, I've compiled a list of issues that are sorted into 3 sections: issues specific to my kernel/ROM, remaining issues caused by Samsung, and optimizations I want to get done but are very difficult. The remaining issues caused by Samsung affect all ROMs.

Issues specific to my kernel/ROM:

MHL is disabled at the kernel level

New framebuffer drivers aren't working properly with full MDP composition

Issues with cast screen/WiFi direct reported (I don't have a fancy TV so I can't test this)

Remaining issues caused by Samsung:

camera: new focus position after using touch focus is forgotten after the touch focus duration expires (default 5 sec). The camera resets itself to infinity focus position after the focus event expires. The only case where a new focus position is remembered is when taking a picture. How to reproduce this bug: focus in on something close to you (like the text on your computer screen) by touching the screen to focus and then wait 5 seconds. After 5 seconds when the focus circle disappears, the text on your screen will appear blurry again. This issue is pretty much impossible to fix because Samsung put all of the code that handles focus positions into the proprietary camera HAL (/system/lib/hw/vendor-camera.msm8660.so). There is very little focus code in the kernel for me to play with to fix this.

Turning off NFC doesn't always work (I think this is an old CM bug?)

Optimizations I want to get done but are very difficult:

Fix new framebuffer drivers in the kernel so we can use full MDP composition again

Update to next-gen Ion memory drivers in the kernel from CAF (the proprietary camera HAL, vendor-camera.msm8660.so, was built for the old Ion API, so using the camera with the next-gen Ion drivers causes the phone to reboot)

Sweep2Wake Support

Since BLN is mentioned, would you kindly consider adding Sweep2Wake as well?

I'll be honest, my fingers can get useless and forgetful more often than not to reach for that darn power button. Adding this feature would not only be novel and convenient but also eliminate at least one of my already mounting first-world problems.

All kidding aside, fantastic plan you've shared with us. Much gratitude for all the effort and hope you're giving our legacy devices!

MSMFB_OVERLAY_SET errors? (HTC Pico with KK_2.7 msmfb)

Aug 2 nightly

So far so good. Erased all old stuff and flashed the 8/2 rom. Im not giving up on this ROM. The problem I began having with one from a few weeks ago was I started loosing notification sounds. First texts, the email then phone calls then finally alarms. that was the last straw. the wake up type alarm would ring for about a second and just stop. So I had to do something. what was irritating was that it just kept getting worse over time. After cleaning flashing 8/2 version of nightly all is back as before. I just hate the hassle of loading gaaps and custom apps again one by one. but it helps me really learn about this whole rom movement. its making me more adventurous. next I need to learn how to use "catlog". I did load that again. I am fearful that loading a log will reveal a bunch of personal info that NSA does not yet have...

anyway thanks Sultan and keep up the good work. I really do think breathing life into old phone may be the future (although samsung wont like that our landfills will)

When will you start work on the new Andoid "L" which is supposed to finally unify all google hangout communications and usher in Nirvana..lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
For some reason, that doesn't happen on the Skyrocket. Maybe because it has an lcdc panel and not mipi? Because of its low screen-resolution? I don't know. With the Skyrocket's CM kernel, full MDP composition works fine. Right now with my kernel (kk_2,7 msmfb) it also works fine, but there's a certain app with an animation when it is opened that causes it to start glitching. The app is called 10News San Diego. With full MDP composition enabled on the Sensation, opening this app freezes the screen and the only way to fix it is by rebooting.

On the Sensation, I get lots of MSMFB_OVERLAY_SET errors complaining about no memory. It seems to be a kernel issue because the kernel log also shows out-of-memory errors. I tried increasing the sizes of all the memory allocations I could thing of (framebuffer memory, SF heap, etc.) but nothing worked. I also saw these errors on the Sensation:

<3>[ 296.038726] mdp4_allocate_writeback_buf:2309 In valid size
<3>[ 296.038818] mdp4_dsi_cmd_do_blt: no blt_base assigned
<6>[ 296.039062] mdp4_overlay_mdp_perf_upd mixer0 start blt [1] from 0 to 1.
<3>[ 298.511627] mdp4_allocate_writeback_buf:2309 In valid size
<3>[ 298.511749] mdp4_dsi_cmd_do_blt: no blt_base assigned
<6>[ 298.511810] mdp4_overlay_mdp_perf_upd mixer0 stop blt [0] from 1 to 0.

What kernel version does it say you have in Settings -> About Phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nickargas:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Install the latest ROM nightly, the kernel you are using is old. The newest kernel (v1.3.4) has this issue fixed. The latest ROM nightly comes with the v1.3.4 kernel.

There's no need to flash both...

Hello all, does this rom support BLN? THANKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DSDONE:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OBAMASUCKS:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DSDONE:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OBAMASUCKS:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DSDONE:
That's the reason why I had this phone for so long is because of the support for it here... I've learned so much from here and using my Skyrocket... I've bootlooped and soft bricked this phone so many times but, I'm always able to bring it back...

I'm still installing each nightly and so far EVERYTHING has been working flawlessly. I did experience a camera induced reboot at 25% battery with the flash on when taking rapid back to back pictures a few builds ago... but nothing in the logs and I couldn't recreate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
I never noticed the camera issue, but have been dirty flashing each nightly (well, most of them:)). No issues so far!

Thanks for doing this. Anxiously awaiting a new kernel update:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
That happens sometimes when you use flash with older batteries that are low on power. It happened a lot on my old phone with a 3-year-old battery until I got a new battery. Did your screen immediately go black when the flash turned on?

Right now I'm working on fixing and improving official CM for my phone (Nexus 5). The current nightlies for the N5 are super buggy and laggy so I'm going to be working on that for a while :p School starts in 2 weeks and I'm going to be busy with college applications, so it may be a while until I add BLN and such to this kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
Yep, blacked out and locked up. I had to pull the battery as holding power didn't do anything. Unfortunately, this is with a brand new battery. :( But again, I could put the same battery back in, boot up, and could't recreate it so I'm hesitant to say it was the battery or the typical low charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
[MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] this is likely a CM bug. When selecting settings, broadband, preferred network... It's will not change from LTE, and doesn't show a 4g option. I frequently visit an area with poor LTE and even though there is a strong 4g and 3g the phone constantly tries to use the piss poor LTE that drops constantly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Open the dialer, type *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information, scroll down to 'Set preferred network type', and choose WCDMA preferred. This change will be cleared after a reboot.

The Ultra-fast charging over USB that this kernel provides has been working great. However, I recently bought some USB cables off of ebay and I notice a significant increase in the time it took to charge the phone.

For customized rom try dirty u.. As for the kernel it used to be able to use on other roms but sulport for other roms was removed at some point . as far as make it work in other rom the kernel you cant i already told sultan his answer was to ask the rom developer to use his kernel and make it work.. The charging time is faster and battery last long. So is the usb wackelock gone with this kernel.. I wish some roms with diferent kernels implement this features for charging and new drivers.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
I suspect that may be some type of installation artifact. I install and run every nightly and no issues with developer options, which I use frequently. Maybe time for a fresh install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] anomalya:
Does that include your latest 8/22 nightly?

Because I get FCs as well whenever I open Settings or Chainfire's SuperSU on it.

Dirty-flashed back to 8/21 nightly and all is well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SoCalHTCFuze:
Correct, I installed this morning and just verified its working correctly. I overwrote 8/21 over 8/20. I will try a clean flash and see if that is different.

Installed fresh, developer options work fine. There must be something else causing it.

Bootanimation.zip

I was wondering how you change the boot animation? went to system, media found the file and replaced it with the one I wanted to use then set permissions reboot and nothing, when it boots up shows Samsung then a black screen for a sec then has android across the screen till boot up finishes. put the original back in and rebooted and now the original no longer works???????? Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Thats how is done. Move the file to another folder in sd .. Make sure its name its like this.. bootanimation.zip set permission to r.w.rr

It should be ok then.. Maybe the file its corrupt but then again with other file it does not work anymore.. Its the one you want for the skyrocket. ? Have you check to see if its a flashable one? If so just unzip and use the file inside..the zip if it is a flashable file..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blake .l:

Very Nice ROM

Have only been running it for 2 days so far, but it's very nice so far. Thank you for this.

I'm running the 22Aug nightly. Installed the 27Jun nightly after a full wipe then a dirty install a few hours later of 22Aug.

Some questions:

1. Where is undervolting controlled? I don't see options anywhere

2. I get a vibration everytime I touch the hardkeys or perform a pattern unlock. Can I turn this off? It's not controlled by the keyboard settings.

3. Messaging Dark Theme doesn't work on my phone. I think this is a general CM11 issue, maybe not specific to this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
1. I used kernel tweaker on google playstore.

2. Am using other rom now might be the same.. Go to settings...sounds. And untick vibrate on touch..or go to every setting it must be there..

For the theme . used one called dark holo donation all its dark..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Robnw:
Thank you.

1. I thought it would be part of the existing ROM functionality. Not really important to me but I might try the app later.

2. Arg. Thought I had cleared that but it turns out I hadn't.

3. I'll try that but wondering why the dark setting in messaging doesn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
The dark messenger option has been not working for some time, and it's in most CM based ROM's that I've tried. However, likementioned above, the CM11 theme engine is really nice. Been sampling many different themes.

Here's a thread that lists a bunch (free & paid):

Official CM 11 Theme Chooser Thread

And here's 2 I've been using:

Xen I really wish this one was orange instead of green, but I'm getting used to it

Simplex

I've paid for 3 or 4 as well. Just search for CM11 theme on Play.
