I've been using Lollipop for some time now, almost since it reached CM official downloads, and i'm finding issues with time.

At the beginning there was the lack of some stuff but everything worked fine. Then, those features appeared (can't remember wich ones....) and everything seemed great. But a couple weeks ago i found out my earphones weren't working fine, i couldn't stop music and then I found neither can take a call with the hands free.

I tought it was the earphones issue, broken cable maybe, so last week i got another one, but the problem persists.

I tried the new earphone on another phone, also the old one, both work on other phones, so the problem is here on my XT926

It seems somewhere, someone forgot to include the remote controls to music and calls.

¿Is this only me?

I'm going back to KK for some time and wait until there's some measure taken about this. Is sad because on everything else, this rom is working like a charm.
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
Was your wired headset button working in CM12 nightlies built before March 3?
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Thanks.

I read several posts about C's tweaks and his "VIP" build being in the work. Looking forward to it.

I also read about other customizations (OOM, ...) that improve usability, but I'm not sure what these are.

What I am looking at is how to get rid of these annoying lags... and killed apps in the background... Really painful... I've even considered going back to cm11...

Hopefully, cm12.1 will be here soon and put an end to these.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Tweaks work great, almost completely eliminate background apps get killed problem and lags. I can run Here maps navigation and music player in background, open three test web pages in FF, gmail, hangout, play Xelorians without background app get killed or even web pages reloading when going back to FF. Of course, phone slows down with all those apps but still works just fine. Hopefully C is going to make it public soon.

Unfortunately calc bug is still happening.
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
Can't wait...

Do you apply any extra customizations on top of the build?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Well I combined he's previous tweaks (zram) with the latest. As we're in touch, he's also accepting my suggestions and I think he's currently using about the same tweak as me.

No other customization of the rom, except turning off window animation and animator off. But that's what I usually do, to speed up GUI a little bit.
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
OK. Thanks for the update. I'll patiently wait for a release then.
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Has anyone actually tried building CM12.1 yet?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
AFAIK, no. If you can, we would be very thankful :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Caliburno:
Can't tell the exact date, but it was working at the beggining of CM12 and i noticed about a couple weeks ago, so i guess yes, that may be the date.

To be clear, I love how it works and feels, it has some annoying bugs but i'm waiting until becomes a bit more stable to go back.

I just have found I lost HDR photography and some customization stuff with my return to KK. and the camera is about 60% my Droid usage.

Other issues are: (Lollipop of course)

_Calculator - Going nuts (just hangs somewhere between i push the icon to open and i start the first operation) Is this calc bug mentioned above?

_Camera - When using ISO100, frame (preview before taking the picture) refreshes way too slow, while on KK is as smooth as 2400ISO.

_Audio Recording - SmartVoice Recorder(app) From some time on (can't tell exactly for how long has been happening but probably no more than a week) Audio recording is not good at all, it seems like noise cancellation is in a way too high setting, most of the time there's no audio recording (it records just silence) or seldom beep/blip tones and only when sound reaches a certain level, it gets recorded.

If i remember anything else, ii will post.
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
I would, but I'm actually TDY learning new stuff, so just checking in on things is all I can do. I don't necessarily have the time to sit down and build at the moment.
[RAZR HD Android Development] djvita:
why not use another calc app?

I mean if its a lot of bugs with the stock app, might as well use an alternative.

i use graph89 free, and the ti89 rom is in the TI website download, load rom and off i go!

a less cumbersome alternative with a nice ui is this one cal pro

just my $0.02

I found the best cameras to be

A better camera

Camera fv-5 (pro)

CameraNext

DLSR Camera

Can't wait for 5.1 to drop, there are a lot of fixes.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If you read more carefully is not about calc but itself. Bug is just first time noticed with the calc and got that name. Actually even that is wrong, first time I saw the same bug was with business calendar 2. Back then I had the same opinion as you now, problem is with app. But later I figured out that the same bug is happening with calc, bc2, even google play! and many more. Unfortunately bug (according my bc2 experience) is since the first LP build for our phone.
[RAZR HD Android Development] madmonkey57:
"Calc bug" is just a name for a severe bug (i.e GPU crash more or less) that many apps may suffer from, including stock calc which was one of the first app to trigger the bug, hence the name.

EDIT: Damn it, Z, you're too fast!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Maybe because I just came from workout :D

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Just got idea, maybe we can find how to restart crashed GPU without reboot? As we had for radio (rild process).
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
[MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION] noted that the GPU does eventually recover. But that being said, I suppose there may be a programmatic way to do it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
When calc bug happens, that's it. Phone could start calc or problematic app again but if is cleared from recent or get auto killed by the system, next start will be the same, gray app, crash or maybe start after long wait. Only solution for now is hard reboot, soft doesn't help.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GrimV2:
Anyone got any stable lollipop build reccomendations? I can't listen to music with audio fx crashing constantly and my music randomly stopping and closing..on top of that when I upload vids to snapchat and instagram. it's all fine until it finishes, all you see is a glitched black and grey striped/blotched all over the screen when you play it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Settings>apps>all apps>media storage>clear data, then reboot. Fixes music player. If audio fx is the issue, clear data on that app and reboot. If audio fx issue continues, disable the app
[RAZR HD Android Development] kabaldan:
Unless you're willing to spend a considerable time fixing and uploading fixes for the mismerges, missing commits and generally fixing-up a broken stuff, trying to build from the staging/cm12.1 branches is not for you yet, at this moment...
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
I was just curious on it. I know i'm popping up in a few places with posts, but i've been bogged down with work and travel lately. Wasn't sure if i missed an attempt at the build, even though i did look around first.
[RAZR HD Android Development] gappledroid:
When I run calc or Google Play and I see that it will not open, I touch the power button and wait until phone lock. Then unlock, open the app again sometimes works without the need to hard reboot.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
So my AHD guy is pretty busy -- can I get another AHD volunteer? I'd like to see their results before I release the tweaks publicly. I'll probably create a new thread for it but I'd really like to get some more non-XT92x folks (such as AHD) to test before this happens.
[RAZR HD Android Development] djvita:
Blue flickering screen

I've seen it happen playing vids, gifs in baconreader, and some animations. What is this? The CRT? Ill turn off animations and see if there is a change....
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Not just ordinary CRT, AMOLED CRT :D

I remember even worse on Atrix, lost of synchronization like on old CRT TVs. Problem was in the kernel and different panel used in phone variation. Hope now is not the case. Was it any kernel related commits recently?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
There was some but none that I would attribute to the problem as it existed before the commits.
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
I'll help out. PM me with what info i need to be brought up to date and to help out.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
PM sent. Thanks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] IronTechmonkey:
Yep, sorry about that. Will be able to go at it for a couple of days starting day after tomorrow.
[RAZR HD Android Development] lcc014:
Speaker Phone Volume

After upgraded to CM12, speaker phone volume is not loud enough when comparing with my wife Moto G running stock 5.0.1 and CM11. I have already turned up the volume to max., still not much louder than without speaker phone. Does anyone has similar experience ?

On the other hand, ringtone is very loud, like it :)

Thanks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] TecknoFreak:
A ROM from you to Atrix HD awesome mate. I'd that is the case you should be our device maintainer. You really know what you doing. Where is the link for the ahd ROM?
[RAZR HD Android Development] djvita:
5.1 coming soon

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/all-about-l-part-1

"Let’s start with the latest and greatest Lollipop release, Android 5.1. Released in the second week of March, 5.1 has actually seen two releases – 5.1_r1 earlier in the month and 5.1_r3 just this week. The team has been plugging away at these releases, rebasing and merging like fiends. We’re not quite at the point where nightlies will cross over to being officially branded CM12.1, but as always, you are welcome to track our progress.

The CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) source is available to sync, and up and running with few issues on various devices – including the latest developer device the Nexus 6. When you repo init the source, just point the branch to ‘staging/cm-12.1’. The staging branch is where we are making things ‘just work’ (you’ll see many patches simply labelled “Fix build”). These patches will be cleaned up prior to moving the source code over to our active mainline branches.

We’d expect another week of this cleanup before CM 12.1 nightlies start flying out the gates."
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Is this, by any chance, similar to calc bug?

[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Something just occurred to me -- a while back, someone here (sorry buddy, forgot your name) put out a ZIP with updated blobs from KDA20.127 (xt925) and I'm wondering if CM12 uses the newer blobs for XT92x that may result in either fixing or causing the GPU crash? I got the ZIP here, I should compare against the CM prop blobs and see. I can see the full set of display drivers/bits sitting in this archive.

EDIT: It was [MENTION=4282647]MCP1[/MENTION] who did the original work on this.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I think that calc bug is reported by xt925 users too but good idea! Could you upload the zip?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Here: http://d-h.st/f46t

Remember though that flashing this ZIP breaks the Camera (in fact, I think it happened to you, Z) but you can see the video driver bits in there as well so to flash this would break Camera but I suppose would allow one to test if the "calc" bug still happens but would require a reinstall at the end of testing (unless you can live without camera or modify the zip to exclude the camera bits, I seem to recall the original author did that for ya Z)

EDIT: Oh yeah, it was only tested against CM11 afaik -- although I seem to recall Z testing it on CM12 back when it was just starting up.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Now I remember that was something about libs...If I don't flash video driver and video driver causing calc/GPU crash...

Could someone else with xt926 test instead of me as I need my phone for next few days?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
If you search the CM11 thread, you should find the altered ZIP he made for you to exclude the Camera bits from being updated.

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518701&highlight=kda20&page=111 start @ post #5526
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I definitely remember now and that something bad happened so I had to restore backup far away from home to use navigation back :D Maybe wasn't because of blobs.
[RAZR HD Android Development] MCP1:
The original zip was not supposed to break the camera, as it preserves the renaming convention that Kabaldan used to make HDR work.

I tested the zip once in a older version of cm12 (January?) and it was ok (but then I reverted to cm11 because of the crazy background killings...). If you really need I prepare a version of the zip to only update the video, driver, let me know.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Would like to see this for testing purposes. Thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:

[RAZR HD Android Development] beefx:
So what I should expect after flashing this blobs? I wanna test it

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] MCP1:
C would like to test if this may affect the calc bug. Better wait his evaluation before flashing.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Blobs are coming from blow up :D

Hopefully some improvement, maybe solution for calc bug...
[RAZR HD Android Development] elektronAu:
Hi MCP1,

I've captured the Australian Retail KitKat OTA at the beginning of the year, it was delayed by quite a few months with respect to other worldwide releases, apparently in order to implement some further fixes.

I'll try to do a binary comparison between the blobs you have included and the ones within the OTA I've got.

Are you interested in a copy anyway?
[RAZR HD Android Development] JoseBerga:
I'm interested in whole OTA package.. Could you upload it please? :fingers-crossed::D
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I think we all interested in the latest release. Question is why is not yet uploaded :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I've suddenly developed an interest in implementing the MSM powerHAL bits for the 8960 that I see for other MSM SoCs. Since today is a slow day for me, sounds like a good day to try some kernel hacking.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Got calc bug again on fresh flashed CM12. Not doing anything special except clearing recent.

Edit: I was using here, gmail, hangout and gmail.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Kind of topic. GitHub is under DDoS attack.

https://twitter.com/githubstatus
[RAZR HD Android Development] MCP1:
Hi.

It's always nice to have newer blobs. Please upload so we can test.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
After one simple change, for now I cannot reproduce calc bug. Finger crossed that is real workaround. Keep testing...:fingers-crossed:

Also, interesting commit is coming (epinter :good:) http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/92507/
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
What was the change?
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Let me be sure. I'm struggling with it so long and know how to replicate. If I cannot replicate than is really solved :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
And still you haven't said what it was ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For the same reason you haven't published your tweaks yet. Unfortunately, after about 24h without calc bug, I've managed to get it :(

I turned on force GPU rendering for 2d drawing. I think that I've tried that already but at first helped or it was just coincidence.

I was doing what I usually do to get calc bug, running many apps as possible to force OS to kill some in background. Everything was fine until I played Xelorians, instead of exit, pressed home then cleared recent. After that... calc, business calendar 2, play...bug.

Now you understand why I didn't say what I did. Maybe will make bug less often, maybe...
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Enabling GPU rendering for 2D is a performance hit and generally not recommended. [MENTION=2218140]kabaldan[/MENTION] noted this in either the CM11 or this thread, but many moons ago. It's like disabling H/W layers to get rid of the blue flicker, it works but not recommended and can be a performance hit.

Too bad it didn't resolve the issue though, would have been something to look at.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I remember his comment about it and it was just attempt. Phone works really smooth with that.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
IIRC, this value is controlled by "debug.composition.type" in build.prop -- we use a default of "dyn" for dynamic meaning it'll flip between GPU/CPU as it determines the needs of the device. Forcing "gpu" or any other value (it supports 3-4 from memory) shouldn't improve the UI/graphics in any particular way over dynamic mode (at least, from what I've read anyways but I'm hardly an expert....)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Without technical explanation, user experience (mine :)) was/is smooth. I'm still going to use it and see does it really help or it was just a luck.
[RAZR HD Android Development] cleiton.a:
CM12.1

On DHacker's Dev-Host, have a path called grouper... Inside this path, have a file for CM-12.1 and TWRP (2.8.4.1). Booth files have grouper in the name... Someone knows what this grouper means? This files could be for us msm8960 with another name? Someone tried install this files?
[RAZR HD Android Development] TBueno:
I guess that would be the Nexus 7.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Yes, it's code name for the Nexus 7. I had it and built CM rom few times for it :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] KC69:
3/30 seems pretty smooth to me , running it as flashed. So far no real lag like it was doing, and no freezes or reboots like it was doing.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
For the first time I've managed to start calc normally after "calc bug" happened. Got bug as usual, waited calc to crash, launcher reloaded and then turned on:

Force GPU rendering (was on)

Show GPU view updates (wanted to see what's going on)

Show hardware layers updates (the same reason as above)

Disable HW overlays (to always use GPU for screen composting)

Every time after calc bug the only solution was to reboot. Now, somehow, I can start calc and other problematic applications even after clearing recent.

Now I have turned on Force GPU rendering and Disable HW overlays. Everything works fine so far. Notice, without reboot!
[RAZR HD Android Development] niksy+:
I could say I've had the same experience while I wasn't putting any pressure on it. As soon as I had Music playing, with Browser running, trying to run anything third would result in a slow down and music playback skipping... And the

calculator bug was there, I actually needed the calculator on multiple occasions today and the whole system locked up each time I tried to run it. All of those trials were after multitasking, so I guess that matters. I haven't even made it past 20h uptime yet :rolleyes:

With C's tweaks it's a different story and I suspect the default setup will also be much better now, looking at the commits that are to be included in the next nightly ;)
[RAZR HD Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Played Xelorians, pressed home button, cleared recent (calc and bc2 was there) and started calc normally... Today with the same scenario, bug happened.

Would be nice if someone can do the same test with those two GPU settings on. [MENTION=4442286]niksy+[/MENTION] jump in :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] lcc014:
CM12 Camera App Slow !

Have anyone noticed that camera app is slow in recent nightly builds ? After picture was taken, screen was frozen for as few seconds before I could take another picture again. Before, I could take picture without waiting for the current one to be processed.

Here is a commit to fix the memory leak lollipop have. Maybe it can be add it to newer releases

https://github.com/tonyp/FixLollipopMemoryLeak

That's already been fixed at the source level not too long ago, maybe a few weeks ago. No need for an Xposed module to do it.

April fools?
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
Never occurred to me it'd be an April Fool's joke :)

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

It's a "holiday" in North America (maybe elsewhere). It's the only day that's it's acceptable to play tricks and jokes on people and you can't get mad about it :)

EDIT: 04-01 is better than previous builds but still suffers from the same perf issues by and large. I/O and CPU starvation, LMK still too aggressive, etc.

EDIT: OK, it's not as bad as it used to be but could be better. Had one spontaneous reboot so far but missed why as I wasn't logging.

EDIT: Actually, it's quite a bit better than it used to be. I/O could be tweaked but I'm seeing similar results as I would using my perf tweaks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] juanepichio:
Yeah, it was a rethorical question :silly: now give me your magical build to compensate.

:laugh:

Well played by CM, btw.
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
I don't have a magical build :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] CWGSM3VO:
New calculator commits coming up in next nightly.

With recent commits from [MENTION=3721576]epinter[/MENTION], I think everyone will be impressed with the next nightly. Some tuning makes a big difference when compared to previous builds:

- zRam is enabled and tuned

- new LMK settings (no more spurious app killing; I tried, couldn't get it to start reloading apps)

- the device idles properly as well

- filesystem and VM still need some TLC

It's a noticeable improvement and big kudos to the devs for their work.

EDIT: Brainfart. Those using 03-31 would enjoy these benefits.
[RAZR HD Android Development] MCP1:
This OTA is also KDA20.127, produced the same day as the RTFR we already have. All blobs are the same :crying:

Thanks anyway!
[RAZR HD Android Development] palmbeach05:
Is this also something those of us on jbbl can look forward to or is this a kkbl thing only?
[RAZR HD Android Development] elektronAu:
Is there anything different about that thing? You know they delayed Australian update for months "fixing" issues... :/

It'd be really good if someone could compare the Telstra OTA...
