crashes when trying to change wallpaper, sometimes also when coming home from an app

also unable to add apn, 3g not working
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] jaysoblitzed:
If you say something is not working then state the device your using. There are about 5 other versions of this device. Saying dual Sim isn't enough either.

Go into the bootloader and get the model where it says a5_***

Now you can say if its dual or single and more helpfully if you know where it came from. US, UK, Korea, India etc.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] abs3600:
A5_DWG India dual sim model, wallpaper thing was just a theme problem , but ya 3g is not working

Using single sim only in the 1st slot

Ty:)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajeshmanu:
My dear frnd.....u can add APN . First boot up the device....do necessary things ( let both the sims search for networks and connect to network) Then reboot again. Now u can add APNs. U can set any of the sims to 3G. First change both sims to 2G.(using network settings) then change ur desired slot to 3G. Bt on 2G sim u will not be able to hear the other side while making or recievings calls...

This ROM restarts my phone at random times any fixes or?

I have the virgin mobile variant.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Try to capture logcat and kernel logs as per the unofficial version thread's bug report. I have it too bit seems random, happened with g+, chrome, and on unlocking after a reboot.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Been running the ROM, for about a week. Have had zero reboots. Maybe I'm just lucky :P
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kr338r:
Same here, not any reboots at all w/ VM variant.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aerialdrone:
Yeah, I didn't get any reboots for like 5 hours + . Did u clean wipe everything etc? Anything special you did?

Is there anyway to get back on stock?

It hasn't reboot in 15+ hours in up time. Must be something specific I'm doing to get it to restart manually.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Good luck finding ;) seems fairly random from my ignorant user perspective but hasn't happened in days. Stock? Sure, look in other threads, must be possible (you mean you didn't keep your original backup)?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aerialdrone:
I think I have a backup. A nandriod zip. I'm not sure how to use it though. I try to flash the zip and it wont work. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] exProphecy:
For the VM variants here, are there any problems with calls or inability to hear caller etc? Maybe speakerphone issues? Please let me know! I'm thinking of finally making the move to this ROM :)

Smart Cover support?

This is the first time I'm on an official version of Cyanogenmod, so I'm not clear on how added features flow through the various devices.

Anyway, I'm missing the "smart cover" functionality of of the stock ROM (having the device wake/sleep based on opening/closing a "smart cover")... Googling about it turned up this link announcing that the feature was implemented in September as part of "11.0 M10", but there's no reference to which devices do or do not support that feature.

As far as I can tell, the feature is not functional on my Desire 816 -- can anyone else confirm this, or fill me in as to whether I'm just overlooking a setting somewhere? Also, If I'm not missing a setting, is this something I would put in a bug report about?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Not a daily user but a monthly one ,sense 6 and friends lasted 7days when I bought last month.

Some crashes but reboot puts it right, nothing blocking for daily use. Butter smooth more with dalvic than art runtime ... That's about it ;)

Compatibility Question

I see that it says (All variants) in the description so does that mean it will support virgin mobile usa as well? ive never flashed a ROM on an android with a SIM card before so i dont know how the GSM vs. CDMA thing comes into play. I know it used to be a big issue and just don't want to run into an issue again
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
It's not a bug

I just didn't added the ability to use covers.

Since I don't have one I can't add it without any testing
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mrbenji:
I'm running this on my Virgin Mobile 816... works well.

Few tips:

- Be sure to run the "Battery Calibration" app on it, or you'll think your battery life sucks. When I first installed CM it was alarming -- at one point I think I lost 20% of my battery in 15 minutes. After calibration, my battery is lasting at least 10hrs, even with the relatively heavy usage it's getting as a new phone.

- I was able to get around the incredibly-irritating Kitkat restrictions on writing to an external SD card (which hamstring Titanium Backup, among other popular apps) by flashing the zip referenced in this thread -- it appears to be surviving Cyanogenmod updates.

- I have link2SD working, so I have the leeway to keep my internal memory freed up. I made a 2GB partition on my 32GB microSD, but had problems until I formatted the partition ext3 instead of ext2. The mounting scripts need to be recreated after a CM Update, just run link2SD after your first boot, choose "ext3" and let it reboot your phone again.

- I've been able to get free Wi-Fi tethering working through the native Android Wi-Fi hotspot function by using these easy instructions -- none of the other apps or fixes I found online worked. You'll need to buy a $3 database-editing app, and I had to redo the fix after manually "dirty flashing" to a new Cyanogenmod build.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Okay, thank you so much for the info. So you didn't have to do anything other than flash the rom and gapps and such? (obviously after rooting and unlocking the bootloader)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
That external sd card won't survive any updates. I already made the external sd writeable without root access.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mrbenji:
No, I think I only did the stuff I mentioned. Oh, I guess I also flashed SuperSU.

Everything else I did was after the fact, like installing Xposed and Xposed modules like GravityBox and the Xposed extensions to Greenify.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Will the Kernal flash along with with the ROM or is that something I have to flash within fastboot?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mrbenji:
Weird... I could have sworn I was still having Titanium Backup issues until I ran the zip. I've been known to misremember, though, and that *would* explain why the fix is surviving updates! :D Thanks for all your work on this, by the way... this is the most solid ROM I've ever used on a new phone, by a long shot!
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Okay, I got everything flashed and it's all working very well, thank you for all the work that's gone into this ROM and making it work with our devices. Just a quick precautionary question, does the kernel used with this ROM support "tap to wake" features?

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
hi

A simple question please :)

If i move Nova.apk (launcher) and the prime License apk too in system/app, will it work and will i be able to OTA update?

thanks!

EDIT: i flashed yesterday, had a pb, reflashed today with a clean install too :

when you install a theme by the store or an apk (lollipop theme), the phone starts to meet systemUi & media process crash

i precise that of course my theme are fully supported and done for CM, and works perfectly for other people on other phones.

Can you check that please?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Allanco2:
thanks amigo
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] xxqxpxx:
everything looks good so far , i'm a daily user :D . i have few bugs

1- i can't install CM themes after the installation is successful it says failed to install theme and it's instantly removed

2- apollo stops playing music at random times at sec 0:03 to be exact and i have to replay the song

3- random hangs and i have to restart the phone

i'm dual sim and using link2sd :)

keep up the good work
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
More feedbacks on that rom, even if developer doesnt seems to be following his own thread :

- Theme are totally bugged, UI and some media force close depending the theme, wallpapercropper.apk bugged too (force close)

- Battery life is average...less than stock HTC rom, but, that's ok.

- Camera quality is totally, totally, crappy

Never saw that lol, it seemed i was downgrading to a 2mgpx camera, lot of noise on the image, focus almost not made..nah! :laugh:

Seems the most urgent things to fix, before stuff we dont even see inside the rom (changelog reference inside lol)

thank you for your work dev, i nonetheless appreciate. Hope u will take these feedback in consideration

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
i dont ask any answer to my questions. feel free to ignore.

Just reporting bugs, hoping to see them fixed, because they are not minor errors, but functionnal problems.

Just looking at all the changelogs : almost not anything related to a bug people could notice, or even understand.

Camera quality and theming crash, (one of the most important advantage of CM..), this needs a fix before this:

Simple observation. just sayin'

flashing this with gapps 20140606 as always, full wipe before all that, but cyanogen logo with the circle again and again :(
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I didn't mention to flash gapps. And you should only flash gapps which are made for Android 5.0
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
you didnt mentionned, but, how can you download any app if you dont flash them, at least for the playstore..?!

I was using them with success until now with your rom, i dont understand why it suddenly dont work. flashing 5.0 gapps will work with a 4.4.4 rom?

EDIT: wiped again

flashed only the rom, bootlooping again

weird.

restoring my backup
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
I thought you was talking about the CM 12 rom.

What gapps package do you use?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
i was using this one

gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

(top one)

but i stopped to use it, flashed only the rom to test, and the result is the same, phone dont boot
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Are sure you wiped data?

And format system partition too.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:

ok so i'm not alone, i was sure it was not me.

first time i see a CM rom not even booting lol :D

makes me ask myself if the dev even test his rom before release..
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Boots for him and most others (including me). Don't be a douche when you don't know exactly what the issue is yet.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
u certainly made an OTA update no?

I re-downloaded the rom, checked md5checksum, made full wipe, same result.

maybe there is a problem no?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Did you flash the latest OTA nightly build? 11-20141110? I flashed that one earlier (as an update not a clean install) and I'm not running into any issues with boot looping. Have you tried using an earlier build?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
i flashed the previous version and it worked, OTA worked too

very very weird, i dont understand what is the problem

do you know if putting some installed apps into /system will break the ability to OTA update?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] vgshah78:
Well there is certainly something wrong with cm-11-20141111-NIGHTLY-a5.zip build. It stucks in bootloop. I made a fresh install after wiping everything but no go.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Lawk:
Does CM11 make this phone support 5Ghz Wifi bands? The stock HTC Rom and or 816 Hardware seems to lack 5Ghz Wifi band support :(
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
they will tell you it's your fault ;)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kr338r:
I've modded about 12 or 15 Android tablets and phones in the past few years. Within hours of getting this phone, I switched over to the unofficial CyanogenMod released.

I've been on the official release since it was available. It has been downloaded several hundred times nightly and only a couple of people have had issues.

If you are having issues, it IS your own fault; I'm on 11.11 and this phone is working great, I'm posting from it now.

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Swapan1801:
when recording video, its audio recording is too low. There is mic problem in this rom.

Anyone please bring this issue to the developer.

Otherwise for me it is daily driver.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
dude dont get me wrong.

u are on the CM11 since the first release, but now u updated via OTA

OTA

OTA

the problem i and some others are pointing is that if somebody flash the latest release, he will end in a bootloop. if he flash any of the previous version, he will be able to boot and update via OTA.

Not on the latest release, that's why i think there is a problem in the file.

im able to flash any previous CM build, not the one dated 11/11/2014

u get it?

:rolleyes:

[MENTION=4699296]kr338r[/MENTION]: Buddy, it's not for the first time I am flashing a custom ROM. I've multiple devices on which I use CM11/PA. I am facing error for this specific device only. If I make a dirty flash of 11.11 build, it works fine but as soon as I make a fresh install, it gets stuck in bootloop. Just fyi, I made this update via OTA.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kr338r:
I'd forgotten that the official build has OTA, been doing it manually this whole time actually.

I've also gone back to stock several times and flashed the latest nightly to come back.

No problems...

Full of bugs, crashes everytime when changing wallpaper. Still waiting for a better version :(
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
yes wallpapercropper.apk and so on seems to be very buggy

They said in the first version (changelog) that they fixed theme bugs but they are always here, and this annoying systemUI crash

I dont know why this is not the priority, because these bugs are the most iritating ones.

EDIT: changelog of next version

i hope this is what we are talking about
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
So here's the weird thing about using the themes that I have noticed. If you use a third party lock screen (I use ACdisplay) and turn off the phones system lock screen and have these settings enabled

Themes seem to work fine with no crash or lag. As you can see I'm using the android L theme

Edit: having boot animations on won't hurt. I just use a custom one. Also don't seem to have issues with changing wallpaper

Battery life?

Hey guys, has the battery life in CM11 improved? I had noticed some folks saying that CM11 battery life was less than stock (I get well over a day on my phone with very heavy usage and power saving enabled).

Any feedback?

it is surely less than stock but i can go through a day with greenify app and some adjustments ;)

I'm using it with nova launcher prime, installed Moonshine icon pack (playstore, free app), the theme i said, and now my phone seems to be running android 5.0 :p
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] NeoGraven:
I'm back on stock atm, but I will change back over to CM11 later. The battery life is really bad on CM compared to the stock rom, but I'm in the process of tweaking it. Can't wait to try out the theme, haven't gotten around to it yet
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mrbenji:
Really bad? Sorry to ask the obvious, but have you done a battery calibration?

That has to be done every time you switch to a completely different ROM... FWIW, I forgot to calibrate after I made the same switch, and my battery life seemed absolutely horrible. Calibrated, and it seems very close to stock now.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] NeoGraven:
CM11 runs "hotter" than stock, once I tweaked everything battery life is pretty close to stock, within about 90% or so. You shouldn't have to recalibrate unless you change batteries or change your kernel.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mart3:
I have tried cm11 to. But am back to stock. Am waiting for a bit better battery life. Thanks for your hard work.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] fabulous69:
back on stock too

Main drawbacks of CM on this kind of phone with special features as boomsound and good camera is that you loose all that added-value

Camera and boomsound requires special HTC files/drivers to work properly and i just can't loose these quality features.

As said, battery life management is a bit bad in CM11 too, but it could be something you can go through if there wasnt all these others drawbacks.

Personnally, i prefer the look of the phone with the sense icons and stuffs, it fits the phone better but it is only a personnal taste, very subjective.

Anyway a good rom that deserves to give a try. But not a daily driver for me :good:
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] NeoGraven:
I agree, I have always liked HTC Sense (some versions are better than others). If you prefer a stock experience, this rom is quite good. As I said earlier, I configured CM on my phone to give almost the same battery life as stock. That being said, I prefer Sense on this phone to stock. Now, as for lollipop, I may change my mind :D
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] mrbenji:
Can I ask what you tweaked?

BTW, you may not have needed a battery calibration, but I sure did... when I first switched to CM11 it told me I was losing something like 2% of my battery PER MINUTE! The phone did not feel the slightest bit hot, so I don't believe it was actually burning through battery that quickly... it was just miscalibrated.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] NeoGraven:
First thing I did was adjust the luminosity for auto brightness. It's usually too bright for me anyway. I will use an app to adjust my cpu speed and io scheduler. I set the cpu speed to the speed stock runs at in power saving mode. I always change my io scheduler to cfq regardless the rom because you will rarely even see a difference an io scheduler will make, our devices basically run ssd. Cfq is generally the most stable anyway.
