I noticed that already for 2.8.0.0 -- I once tried it without even knowing where you need this for, afterwards the system didn't boot anymore...

Can anyone explain to me what exactly is the purpose of that function, what it does, and when to use it? Is it to force all files to be owned by root:root and have reasonable permissions (such as 644 for data file, 755 for exe), maybe apart from files/devices that may need "special" ownership and perms?

PS: Sorry if I'm not responsive these days, I had a little accident with my back hurt and can't spend much time sitting at the desk...
[HTC Desire S] kylon:
There s no need to use that option, only on rare cases when the phone does not boot because of a file with bad permission.

Observations in cm12-20150114

Hi guys.

Here's a couple of observations I made with build cm12-20150114:

"Settings > System Profiles > "gear" icon for a profile > Triggers > NFC" is not applicable for Saga as there is no NFC functionality

Firmware still seems to be configured so that device is treated as a "tablet" (instead of a mobile phone). This can be observed e. g. in Google's setup wizard, see attached images.

brightness meter now seems to be working well (previously it didn't, it only showed two discrete values IIRC, now if I cover it the brightness value decreases smoothly)

Facebook still doesn't install, for unknown reasons.

Kind regards,

Ralf

How to Share 'internet from laptop' to the mobile using USB??

Hi,

Is there any option of having internet access on mobile by

connecting the mobile using the USB cable

to my laptop which has access to high speed cable internet.

Files / Photos can be shared using the Settting > Storage > USB Computer Connection > MTP / PTP option.

But, I want to share the internet

from laptop to the mobile using USB cable

.

'Internet Pass-through' option was present in the original HTC Rom that came with the device.

Now, after upgrading to CM12, I just cannot find that option.

Any help ???

What do you mean transfering files.

I tried to install gapps on latest cm12 nightly release but after flashing the ROM TWRP called thats not enough free space to install gapps.

Did someone have the same problem?
[HTC Desire S] jrior001:
You need a smaller gapps package. Look for pagapps, pico package I think is the one that will install
[HTC Desire S] vojtah1:
Flashed zip, tried cm camera that closed, than opened google camera and wait for front camera error.

This allows your PC to use your phones data connection ( with proper drivers in windows I assume).

The build works great for me.

And it has one important thing (at least for me) fixed: When the mobile phone is switched off and I connect it to the charger, it will no longer power up and boot into the recovery system...

My device does not find my Accesspoint (fritzbox 7390)

Hi.

I flashed the actual nightly (20150119).

Everything fine so far, but the device doesn't see the WLAN sgnal of my fritzbox.

Another fritzbox in the neighbourhood is found sometimes.

A mobile hotspot of my HTC One is found too and an HP Officejet printer also.

But I cannot see my fritzbox.

Any idea?

Check that you have 2.4GHz frequency band enabled in the WiFi AP and that it uses one of the channels between 1-11.

I managed to build CM12 source on my own machine today and flashed it onto my device. There are no problems so far :victory: Of course it would be better if I could actually contribute to the project but I still don't have enough knowledge about what's what, how to configure stuff etc. There are some "tutorials" around but none of them explain every part of the project in depth, and instead they consist of downloading the source and building it with the default settings. For example what if I wanted to use dalvik instead of art (since I believe that art is the reason why apps take longer to install)? :confused:

Ok that was off topic. :D

Calculator is working now (but I don't like it at all).

Front camera still FC (I have a screenshot of the error message).

CM File manager hangs and then reboots my device when I set access mode to root.

I can see some icons have changed. "Themes" are now available.

Music app FC sometimes.
[HTC Desire S] Lapyyyyyy:
1. Phone.apk is soooo slow...

2. Messenger.apk sometimes freezes system and get random errors... (the proccess of app "Messenger" does not respond) and we can select choice - Send report and Wait.

3. Big apps, like as Facebook can't install.

'Internet Pass-through' (Reverse Tethering)

Yes, Exactly. I sort of wanted 'Reverse Tethering'.

But found out that it needs Xposed Installer (plus Xposed Modules), which is NOT currently supported in CM12. (Though Xposed developer rovo89 is working on it with. Check his thread here.

So reverted to CM11. Downloaded & followed the 'Reverse Tethering' instruction as per this link. Also an instructional video here. And got it working fine.

I've been experiencing facebook error 504 in latest builds but last night on build 0119 I managed to get it installed. The trick was to close all other apps and reboot. Then after reboot immediately open play store and it worked. The same happened with Google plus and the same trick worked again.

If we need install/delete app, we need to wait some time (don't know how much) and reboot. Then system will do own work - delete or install it.:laugh:

Firstly I should thank for this roms builders,it must be the great rom on saga! :D

And here were some problem I had found after I flashed the 20150119 yesterday.

1.Flashlight can not work(In quick setting)

2.When you want to use the 3rd-party input(such as Baidu IME),it will be FC.

intelliactive

I picked up faux123's intelliactive governor from his Galaxy Nexus (tuna) kernel. Tweaked it to match frequencies and touchscreens on ace/saga and played around with it a bit. It doesn't seem to cause planets to collide and on paper this sounds good so it's now default governor as of tomorrow (20150122).

It has builtin touch boost which means that it gets notified when you touch your screen and ramps up the clocks just like power HAL has been doing since CM10(?) for ondemand/interactive/smartass2. Not using external tool and writing to sysfs entries for this might be faster though which means less latency and more fluid UX. Well, this is what I gathered from the information available to me. Don't shoot me if I got some of this wrong. :p

You can still switch back to smartass2 under performance options if you so desire.

ps. I'm using same governor on my Nexus 5 although I guess comparing it and ace is like apples and oranges.

I have absolutely no issues installing Google+, no need to use any "tricks." (And the FB doesn't seem to work for me, I'm currently still on 2015-01-14.)

Are we sure that the FB install issues are due to the size of the app, as some people seem to believe?

(BTW, some people suggest that the "504" error be an HTTP status, when downloading the app. This is definitely not the case. The error doesn't happen during download -- I can download FB in 100% of all cases without any issues -- but it happens during installation of it! Me thinks that maybe some library or API is missing or incompatible?!)

Google+ is 24.5 MB, while FB is just slightly larger (29.5 MB). Plus I have apps which are much larger than FB, e. g. Chrome is 73 MB (just the app, without the data!).

PS: I swear that in the very beginning of CM12 for Saga I could install FB once without any issue. But after that I never managed to do so again... :(

---------- Post added at 22:22 ---------- Previous post was at 22:12 ----------

I would like to understand why you are emphasizing to use a channel between 1-11.

For North America that certainly holds true -- only those channels can be legally used.

But what about other regions of the world? Youself, being from FI (Europe), are allowed to use 1-13. As am I, being from DE. As a matter of fact CM12 seems to limit me to 1-11, too. I have many networks around me, and I can't see any network using 13. However it would be very surprising if none actually used 13...

How does our fine CM12 determine which channels to use? It should certainly not do so based on the language the device is set to. I usually set all of my devices to EN(-US), and I don't want to be limited to the channels the folks in the US can use...
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Basicly just because 1-11 should work for everyone without any doubt. I've no idea if our wifi implementation even has support for channels 12 and 13. Maybe this is something worth investigating later on when there's nothing else to do. :)
[HTC Desire S] karma0321:
One thing is the size of the app and another one is the memory needed by the system to process the content of the apk to install it, and the final size of the app once installed.. My idea (and it's only an idea) is that apps like FB or G+ need a lot of processing resources and memory to finalize the installation successfully, that might explain why some of us managed to get FB installed after it being impossible during some time. Independently of the size of the app.

Furthermore, FB app is 29 MB before installing (play store apk size) but it turns into 128MB after being installed (app info in settings) so i think it needs to do so many things to finish installation, hence the need of memory and resources.

Same thing happened to me with google plus (24MB in play store, 39 after installed - only the app, not counting data, of course)

And there's where i think you have confused the two values, because chrome (in my phone) is even bigger, 73MB after installed, but the original apk is only 29MB.

Anyways, at least the trick worked! :D :D
[HTC Desire S] Mustaavalkosta:
Facebook app is also famous for this insanity: https://www.facebook.com/notes/face...ch-for-facebook-for-android/10151345597798920

I wouldn't be amazed if something like that kills ART's dex2aot too. I haven't actually looked what's the error in logcat if there's any so dunno what crashes with FB app.

You have a good point...

If we had a bug-tracker we could register it there... ;)
[HTC Desire S] karma0321:
You have to keep in mind that lollipop differs from previous versions of android because it keeps previously opened apps in task manager even after a reboot, so if you want to get to free all the memory before installing you have to do it and then reboot. A simple reboot would give you the same task manager scenario.

So, close all your open apps and reboot, then, once the phone has booted, you should have as much resources as possible available: open play store and install FB as the very first thing you do. Wait and cross your fingers! :D :D

It's kind of a para-scientific method but while it works.. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :p

Changelogs

I did some bash voodoo the other night and now there will be rough changelogs available. Since it's based on time instead of per repo git commit IDs it's not 100% accurate which means that if something changes within the minute when changelog was created it may be included or left out. But as long as my build automation is purely bash scripts this is pretty much "close enough" when it comes to time spent setting it up.

The method has also a few caveats that make it a bit unreliable. If something happens to the files I use for storing last sync time the whole thing gets quite messed up.

Anyways, now that you have been warned not to treat these changelogs as gospel, for nightlies the changelogs are available here: http://downloads.codefi.re/mustaavalkosta/cm-12-unofficial-saga/nightlies/changelogs
