There is abit of a disconnect here though. If X user has a question about Cyanogenmod, its sad but previous posts say on this thread it will be met with hostility. If they post it somewhere else, say the Q&A threads, they will be told to post to the Cyanogenmod thread. I've seen it happen several times. My point is, hostility towards said users is belligerent and unnecessary.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] phoenix2217:
Agreed. There is no place for the same questions over and over again, ESPECIALLY questions that having nothing to do with this ROM. Third party kernels are not supported.

[MENTION=5502753]polaric[/MENTION] Weren't you the one asking EVERY DAY in multiple AOSP threads why cpu-boost was a part of the kernel and complaining about the devs not "fixing it"? I'm going to be blunt and I'm sorry if it sounds rude, but we don't need more users like you.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

If you are referring to task's response, the user wasn't asking about this ROM. He was asking where to find a custom kernel.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
I did complain about cpu-boost, after which I said I'd compile my own kernel, which I did. And I nor anyone else has mentioned it since. I solved my own issue by compiling a kernel. Though I did myself snap at someone a few days ago who asked about the speaker distortion, I will agree repeated questions are again and again annoying. But hostility doesn't help. A better response might be simply to post a link to the already answered question rather than insulting them.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] electric turd:
All this talk about Cpu-Boost......Does anyone really know if it makes a difference in bad way if its active? Battery or heat issues from the boost? I guess what i'm asking is.....all of the people complaining about it but do they know why they are complaining?

On another note.....Does anyone run this instead of GPE and why? I keep going back and forth and I need to settle on one or another. Whats everyone thoughts on this vs GPE?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] darienms1986:
Or an Even better solution would be to....... You guessed it use the damn search feature. There is a reason it's there after all.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
There was a series of.. Whatever you want to call it about it a week or two ago. The benefits/advantages of it are nuances. Its more of ocd. As to GPE, I ran GPE for awhile, I like cyanogenmod for my ability to freely recompile, if I don't agree with a Dev decision I can change it myself. As it stands gpe -might- preform a little better, though I could be wrong. Cyanogen's source is available obviously, and has features such as heads up notifications, etc. Its more personal preference. Would knowing others preference really change your own?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
Belligerent? You must have no clue what was being said/asked. Searching is a rule here on XDA. Not sure how that accounts for whatever you're trying to call it. And yes, not everyone thinks to search. That's why it good for those that do think to search to remind those that don't. Its actually how they learn not only what they are searching for, but they usually obtain more information that they weren't. Its the XDA handshake dude. Its always made me wonder why so many of you decide its a bad thing when those are told to search for something. That's like saying "hey, don't learn anything or take any initiative ."

My recovery is 2.6.3.3, should do the job. Also tried all the other nightlies (from 7.17, 7.15, 7.14, none worked).

I feel like I'm missing something very obvious, but I'm not sure what it is. (Didn't see it mentioned in the OP, but is S-OFF necessary? 'cause I'm S-ON. Everything else should be in order.)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
You should just try out a different recovery like TWRP and see if that works for you.

Yeah, TWRP is what I'm using (so maybe I should try something like CWM, I guess).

How is battery life on this ROM compared to Sense? Is it better or on par with Google Play Edition ROM? :D

Hey, long time Cyanogenmod lover here.. how stable is CM11? What issues are present?

I just HATE how bloated my phone is stock!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
There's some off and on GPS issues that's different for each person, using speakerphone ends up muting the mic. Other than that it's a great daily driver.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leobg:
Almost OK. There are some sound related problems primarily with the speaker phone, microphone and the earpiece. Sound quality is poor compared to stock/GPE, I believe a related issue. Other than that - it's great!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Fraught:
Yep, had to upgrade to the latest recovery (2.7.1.0). Got it flashed now, thanks for the help (and everyone else too)!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MrMarkEdward:
Flash it and find out.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heffzilla:
Actually it does respect the proximity sensor. I still have my g2. If you cover the proximity sensor it will NOT turn on with knock on. Just wanted to clarify.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
Really? I never thought it did. Maybe a merge of the G2' knock code would be better than the HTC apk.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] akabillybob:
Can't compare with GPE but compared to stock I would say slightly better thanks to removed bloatware and ability to adjust performance. I work in a concrete tomb with poor signal that switches from 4G to 3G constantly, and after 8 hours I've still got roughly half a charge. Battery stats don't show anything particular using excessive battery either.

hi guys

sorry for asking this question (i know i have to search but i cant find my answer because reading 100+ pages is very hard)

what are the current minor bugs of the rom?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] iceman667:
Just check the changelog !

Just check the last 3-4 pages - it covers it I think. But in short - audio related problems.

Speaker phone don't work
[One (M8) Original Android Development] darienms1986:
Anyone else have this issue with deleting texts? It delete them but a new text is created with Dec 31 1969 timestamp. And cannot be deleted permanently. Hoping it's a network issue. But it started with this newest nightly. Stock SMS and Cm messaging
[One (M8) Original Android Development] elir41:
FWIW, for those asking, CM in my experience seems to have the better battery life than a Sense ROM.

I've been using CM since June and just 2 days ago, switched to a Sense ROM and battery life seems worse. As of right now, I'm at 88% and usually at this time (with fairly the same daily usage of the M8) I'm in the lower 90's with CM.

I usually go to bed around 10 and I would still have about 20-25% battery left & since being back on Sense, I have to plug in around 7 in order to make to 10.

Of course, YMMV, but just thought I'd throw my experience in for those asking. Oh, and other than speaker phone, it's acceptable for daily use.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MrMarkEdward:
I dont have that issue try to wipe cache and dalvik see if that helps.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] darienms1986:
It has to with network time I believe. It is a glitch in unix as it shows the beginning of time. Only fix is network fixing it
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
Is anyone noticing a large battery drain lately? My best guess is maybe the keep 2 cores online change for the 15 nightly, but I wanted to check if anyone else noticed a battery drain before I remove it from my custom kernel.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
How are you going to remove it from the kernel? Nothing was added to the kernel in terms of keeping two cores online. A system property was added. Haven't seen any battery drain from it. It's how it's supposed to be.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
Huh your right, it was just a prop change. I assumed it'd end up being changed in a similar fashion to boost. Good I won't have to recompile. Is anyone else noticing the drain or is it just me?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
Have you even checked what is draining your battery? BBS?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] polaric:
No I just assumed. Yes I checked. I'm not new to this. Anyway, I edited the prop and took it back to 1 core and at least in the last 10 minutes my battery % isn't falling noticeably anymore. So if anyone else notices a battery drain edit it back to 1 core.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
So what was the output when you checked? Who said anything about being new?

Anyone have any weird system UI issues? I've noticed a couple times where when I unlock the screen the status bar and bottom nav is gone and takes a few second to show up.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bill.allrobots.org:
SystemUI has crashed once in a while for me lately. Haven't tracked down exactly why, but it's the current biggest (non-work) topic on my mind.

Have you managed to pull a usable log immediately after the event? I have gotten a couple, but haven't found the smoking gun yet.

I haven't been near a computer each time it's happened for me but I'll try and reproduce it near a computer to be able to grab a logcat.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
No need to be at a computer. There are quite a few apps that can handle it. Like this one for example. ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] termleech:
Hmm interesting, I thought that Google has prevented logcat apps in kit kat. Guess I haven't paid attention since I've always done it old school through adb.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bill.allrobots.org:
If you can find a routine to reproduce it AT ALL, it would be hugely helpful... I still haven't been able to.

If you don't mind my asking to narrow it down: Are you using a (style and/or font) theme? Are you using the Dot View case?

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Starting with Jellybean, reading logs requires system privilege (being installed in /system/app in JB or /system/priv-app in KK), or root access.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] termleech:
I'll see what I can do to track it down. I'm not using a dot case but I am using an L theme which is what I figured what the cause of it. It's happened so infrequently though that I haven't been too bothered by it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bill.allrobots.org:
IS IT L-READY??

If so, we may have found our culprit (though we should still track it down so it can be fixed, a wonky theme shouldn't be able to crash the system).
[One (M8) Original Android Development] termleech:
The one I'm using is called Android L by tung91. However it's entirely possible that theming is the culprit.

Are you using stock launcher or a third party launcher? I'm using nova.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bill.allrobots.org:
I'm using Google Now launcher.

As soon as I typed it I realized the particular theme is probably far less interesting than the use of theme engine in general. I'm now torn between keeping my system as-is and hoping to get more logs, and setting the themes to default to see if it stops crashing (and narrowing it down to the theme engine for sure). Not sure which result will be more useful long-term...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] termleech:
Long term if it's a result of the theme engine getting a log to help narrow it down would probably be beneficial to the CM team. But it's also entirely possible they already know about the issue, they like to keep things secret sometimes on what they do and don't know and don't always care what the community says.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SeanHacker:
How do you know this? Sounds like you're just making things up dude. Afterall they are a company. They have every right and should keep some things to themselves. It would be bad business practice not to.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bill.allrobots.org:
In the end I'm sure the logs are needed, but I'm wondering if it will be easier to sort through if we can know for sure that it's theming-related. Adding more debugging messages into the theming stuff is a waste of time if it's not the theme engine, etc.

I'll think it over. At any rate, let's capture any logs we can, and report any trends we notice (if anything, including changing theme, makes it more or less likely to happen), and hopefully

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

We should all probably avoid making this thread another "CM team does/doesn't care about the community" argument.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] kickassdave:
This phrase is almost as bad as the YOLO mentality.

And you're completely right too.

Just nobody who actually codes custom ROMs actually wants anyone to think like this. You want everyone to download, debug, praise, test, hell even donate towards your work.... Not go elsewhere! This is how it gets better. If everyone who used cyanogen mod who didn't like it for whatever bugs at some point "moved on", there'd be hardly anyone left flashing these ROMs.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] David 617:
Got you a log. I'm not sure what happened to cause my systemUI to crash. I was using my phone perfectly fine. Then I walked a way for abt 15 min. When I came back I noticed that the screen wouldn't turn off when I closed the cover. I turns out sysUI crashed bringing down Dotcase as well.

Btw, my build of dotcase includes your patch from here - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/68164/.

My working theory is that Dotcase is not the culprit here. I noticed systemUI crash earlier for other reasons, such as toggling expanded desktop (I will try to replicate that and collect more logs).

I added the caller name to Dotcase.

I don't know how to submit the code to CyanogenMod just yet, so I figured I'd share the apk here for whoever wants.

It also includes a potential stability fix that bill.allrobots.org is working on.

Hey guys, I need some help for some reason I have flashed the latest nightly and fell asleep last night after I booted into the OS making sure everything was okay. This morning I found my phone to be very hot so I shut it off. After cooling down I went to turn it back on and it wont turn on. Also the charger does not work on it, its like I bricked it but dont know how that is even possible given I was in the OS not too long ago.

Bluetooth SPP

:good: I hope you are right. Many people don't use speakerphone, but I am far too busy (or lazy, depending on how you look at it) to bother holding a phone to my ear to talk to someone, so I use speakerphone extensively (unless I am around others, then it is just rude).

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone use Pandora but control it via bluetooth on another device? Such as a headunit that has Pandora built into it? I do, and I initially put this in my first post about the consolidated list of issues but removed it after a couple of weeks without incident. July 17th nightly build, Pandora worked (uses SPP) with my headunit. July 18th through 20th, it does not. The SPP does not seem to be working properly, and I can't find anything in the changelogs that would justify it. Anyone else use a similar setup and having the same issues?

I started at July 20th nightly and rolled it back a day each time until SPP worked properly on the 17th nightly. So it was something between the 17th and 18th that broke it.

Thanks.

Hey, I am contemplating getting a M8. I assumed since there is a Google Play Edition of the device that CM/AOSP would work pretty flawlessly on it, but that doesnt seem to be the case as there are a few minor issues present it seems. Are there any hardware differences between the Google Play edition and the regular M8 or is it just that HTC hasnt released the necessary source yet?

I use GPE ROM on an AT&T M8. That said I use the GPE Roms most of the time but try Sense and AOSP or CM Roms intermittently. I see no issues for me. I think the minor ones are the lack of some source.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
No there isn't any hardware difference between the GPE and non-GPE (Dev Edition) versions of the M8. But GPE is not the same as AOSP. AOSP only uses open source drivers for hardware and GPE can use closed source drivers. That is why there is a difference.
