Is it possible to integrate barracuda's fix for the recent apps button into your builds?

Barracuda's recent apps button fix: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398461
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
His fix involves modifying the Generic.kl last I heard. Worst case I can modify that file but really sec_touchscreen.kl should work.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] dcshoes23:
Makes sense, so there is an underlying issue that is causing that file to be ignored and that's what you want to fix.

I'd love to help fix issues but I'm not having any luck even getting a cm12 klimtwifi build to complete successfully using your repo :( I'll keep at it.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] danny19901:
With this not flashing at all on T705 it's a shame really wish Samsung got there finger out of there ass and actually just gave everyone what they wanted pure Android L AOSP no touch wiz crap (Pardon My Language but if they did that then CM would be a hell of a lot easier to build )
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
CM doesn't include google play store for copyright reasons or some sort. This is from the wiki.

" Google Apps are the proprietary Google-branded applications that come pre-installed with most Android devices, such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc. Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CyanogenMod and must be installed separately."

And about the file explorer I think you need permission from the developer to do so. This is also CM so it will mostly include CM based apps/managers and UI. I really not a fan of touchwiz lol.

lets keep it civil lads this is xda not 9gag. But yeah Playstore can easily be added by flashing GAPPS and most of us certainly dont want any touchwiz related stuff in this rom ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] b3aucb:
Great work! No problem flashing with TWRP - no 5 min wait on 1st boot, ran through and configured all my settings, etc - everything running smooth. Ran into one glitch tho - I installed TiBu to restore some apps and got hit with a prompt to Restore my Android ID - hit OK, Reboot - Lost BOTH the Recents and HOME button on my NavBar. I reverted back to Hardware Buttons, no go there either. Down to a Back Button and it was Floating Toucher or Re-Flash and start over (I'm assuming it had to do with TiBu / AndroidID but I guess it could be something else).
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] patellison:
ROM developers are required by Google to leave Play store(and other other google apps) out of the distos to stay away from licensing issues. This is why there is a separate installer for them.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
I always wondered why it was this way. I always assumed it was because closed source vs open source, but then how are we able to find/host Gapps packages like CM gapps, pa gapps, etc
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
So I am getting a release 5 together for tomorrow. Should fix the video regression and the recent app_switch button will work.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] SS2006:
One more little thing, the menu button in Google Chrome doesn't show up. I remember this was the case with cm11 too.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] interfreak:
Fantastic work mate! This will pretty much make it my daily! :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] SS2006:
Swardmans fix for capacitive haptic feed back. If you'd like to add to realease 5 op

"I have a found a fix for the missing haptic feedback function on the app and back buttons on this rom,.

To fix this , do this:

1. Open your favorite filemanager

2. Locate system folder and open it

3. In that folder locate a folder called usr, open it and look for a another folder called keylayout, in that folder look for a file called sec_touchkey.kl open it with a text-editor and add the word virtual in uppercase letters after:

key 158 BACK and key 254 MENU.

Like this:

Key 158 BACK VIRTUAL

key 254 MENU VIRTUAL

When finshed save the file and do a hard reboot.

when your device has rebooted the haptic feedback on those keys should work.:'"
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] adelancker:
Yeah, I miss it too. I think it's CM12 specific. I have it on my S4's CM12 ROM too.

I just remapped my double-press home button to open/close menu

That fixes it (temporarily) :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] lonespeaker:
I have this already in my T800 build and sadly it doesn't enable haptic feedback, but it does enable recents button.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] haree87:
i wonder why it would not flash.. cm11 flashes fine. updater script has exact same codes to mount system in both but recovery cannot mount system
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Nxpx:
If your button combination doesnt work, try making a USB jig (google it), it worked perfectly when I hard bricked my samsung devices in the past. Good luck !
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] patellison:
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if it's a small distribution that contains only unmodified Google apps, then a distro creator is not taking credit for creating it. This is vs an author that gets credit for a rom build.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] barth2:
Just because a software is free (as in beer) and freely distributed does not mean you can include it in a package with other software. When you see bloat ware bundled with your device, even the ones you can download for free, be assured that there was some kind of deal/agreement to make this happen.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Release 5 is up.

Latest sync of cm12

App_switch + haptic keys working

Some video issues fixed.

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
I just flashed and tested a few videos. I'm still getting flickers of a black screen while playing them in BS Player. I also noticed that the tablet was getting hot while playing videos on the last build. I'll test the heat later tonight for this build. This makes me believe that hardware acceleration wasn't working on the last build.

I was able to get by this by using the newly released VLC player application and that seemed to do much better than BS Player.

But yea, this new build is still flickering when playing videos without the HW overlay feature disabled. I'm not even sure what HW overlays are, and I don't mind turning that feature off. I'm not complaining or anything cause I really don't mind turning that feature off, I'm just giving feedback on the new build
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] win81-64:
Thanks for the new build and the spending time on getting all things working. If you could get Hw overlays on without the video blinking and Dolphin with Jetpack on without the lag in the next build that would be great. Apart from those two bugs and not being able to turn off keyboard sounds this rom is running great for me and I can use the workarounds until the fixes.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
I think this ROM is in its "regular way" now. We only need to Wipe cache and Dalvik when updating to a new version, right ? Factory reset is only necessary for a fresh install only I suppose..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] clutz2000:
I have not had a chance to report multi-user issues with Release 4. I have 2 users setup on my tablet and go between both of them quite often. Mainly one is for me and the other is for my son to play games. When I tried with r4, I was able to get myself setup as default user, but there was some issues with creating a new user. I didn't take screenshots. I regret not doing so now, but was worried about getting my tablet setup backup. I removed CM12 and went back to a backup I made before hand.

Anyone know if they where fixed in Release 5? If not, I will give it another go soon and report back.

Is anyone getting any video from apps such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go? I can hear audio but there is no video
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kchinth:
You can turn the keyboard sounds off in the keyboard settings.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

I think you still need to disable hw overlay. It's in developer options in the settings.

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Correct. There is a thread for the T800, but not sure about T805.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] mgrass:
No Netflix, Hulu, or HBOGo for me either. Also, Plex force quits when attempting to stream video. I'm able to view offline movie content after disabling H/W overlays.

The haptic back button works, but the other for panning open apps doesn't work. This clearly isn't a big deal. I haven't seen any other issues note worthy at the moment.

Thanks for the awesome work.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kevman8396:
Hmmmm that fixed it for Hulu and HBO Go but not Netflix, strange.

No think guide to Flashing CM12 on the Tab S 8.4 using TWRP

[Reboot into TWRP Recovery]

[Wipe]

You DID move your other TWRP backups to the ExtSD right!

[Advanced Wipe]

ALL except Micro SD, this wipes the /data/ where the TWRP Backups are stored.

[Back]

[Return button]

[Format Data]

type 'yes' then [Go] This wipes the /data/ that was killing the CM12 installer

[Back]

[Return button]

[Return button]

Now your system is perfectly clean except the Mico SD.

[Install]

choose "(Up A Level)"

choose "external_sd"

choose the directory where you put the CM12 zip file

choose the CM12 .zip file.

Slide the "Swipe to Confirm Flash"

Your Flashing!

[Reboot System]

wait during the black blank screen where you start panicking .. tee hee

after the panic really get's going.. you see the Cyan start up screen showing you all is perfect.

I see Youtube working consistently but Netflix gives just audio and Black video with Nuplayer on either setting (On/Off). Yes I rebooted between setting changes.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kevman8396:
Yeah I wonder why other video streaming services like Hulu and HBO GO show audio and video but not Netflix.

Menu button

First, let me thank the developer for all your work. I really like this rom. It's smooth and sweet!

I have just one question. Apparently, the open/close menu feature isn't working yet. I selected it for a long press of the home button, but it doesn't do anything in most apps. There are some apps, though, for which accessing the menu is important. Is there a workaround for this until the feature can be fixed?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] win81-64:
Thanks. Thought the keyboard settings weren't in CM12 but had a closer look after you said they were. :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] interfreak:
Issues I've noticed on V5:

* As mentioned, the 'recent app's button now works, but you can't assign any commands to it (long press/ double tap etc). I'm using my home button to open in app menus (double tap) in the meantime.

* The stock AOSP keyboard's 'Swipe' feature does not work, even when turned on in settings. Installing the Google Keyboard from the app store (which looks identical to the AOSP one) fixes this

* You can't resize icons in the home screen settings menu, they stay at large even if small is selected

* There's no where to log into cyanogenmod to download themes etc

* As mentioned Dolphin Jetpack introduces lag, this is solved by turning jetpack off - but it would be nice to use it.

Other than those things, I'm LOVING CM12!!!!! :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
I don't think CM12 has theme support at all yet
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Nxpx:
themes arent supported yer

swype on keyboard doesnt work on my phone on lollipop either,not specific to this rom !!!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
I remember doing my first port to this device months back. The issues people are having now are great. Some of them like jetpack are more likely the apps responsibility to fix. Others are just features not completed in cm12 yet.

Remember folks, cm12 isn't even doing official night lies for any device. You are an early alpha tester. Thank you all for the reports. I feel like we have a prettybgood base moving forward.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] PewPewK:
I just want to say thank you for porting CM12 (and CM11, a while ago) to the Tab S! Your work has made my tablet experience 100 times better and, while the old CM11 had tons of problems back when you first started working on it, CM12 today is running flawlessly. I have maybe only the smallest complaints now with CM12, but other than that you've provided a new and excellent experience for us. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] interfreak:
Yup, agree with this 1 million percent. :D

Without you eousphoros, we wouldn't ever of had the pleasure of running CM12 on this device, at least not for a while!!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] open1your1eyes0:
In case anyone was holding back just wanted to update that I just now successfully dirty-flashed CM12 on top of my previous latest CM11 build and everything went by smoothly after a fairly lengthy boot (10-15 mins or so). I was really trying to avoid having to reinstall all my apps/games from scratch again and even I'm shocked that it worked and no issues thus far. :)

EDIT: Only issue so far I noticed is Netflix is not working (which I believe was already mentioned before however). Black screen on video but audio is there. FWIW, I don't think it's a Lollipop compatibility issue since it works on my Nexus 6 even with the default "NuPlayer" option checked in Developer options.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] GeorgeNav:
Wow I should have done that.. O.o
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
New bug found : there is no equal sign on calculator.

Else, I'm surprised how smooth this ROM is. I didn't expected it works so well (except already known video problem off course). Good job

Edit : the quick setting /notification panel is very little. Is it normal or is it kind of dpi problem ?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] PewPewK:
Normal. It's pretty small on the Nexus 9, too. You could always increase your DPI size if it's a problem, but otherwise that's just how it is.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
I can live with that and moreover, I don't want to change dpi of the entire screen, just for this It's just it looks like a phone ROM which has been ported to a tab

Titanium Backup

eousphoros:

Discovered a small issue. Titanium Backup doesn't work with the built-in Superuser. Not a terrible problem; the solution is to install SuperSU by chainfire from the Play store.

What do you means by "Titanium doesnt work" ? It worked for me, I saved/restaured data properly..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:

Funnily enough I was able to restore a TWRP backup without issues. So it might just be TWRP not liking whatever FS the CM12 ROM formats the system.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] skawtnyc:
It's actually a known issue for a number of people currently using CM12 on various devices. The app would run, but it wouldn't restore anything. It would just start, then hang. Installing SuperSU fixed this.

The new Screen Cast feature for Chromecast is not working with this Rom tho.
