[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
All right, so I gave it another run and I've got a better idea of what's going on with it and how to make it running smoother (but not perfectly unfortunately). So these are my conclusions:

ART is actually working. I could see it from the logcat and then from some misbehaviors as shown later

The internal memory used gets (much) bigger (at least 700MB more) because other than ART having larger dalvik caches it actually has to rebuild the same for all odexed system apps (odexed apps don't create extra dalvik cache in dalvik).

For the reasons above the first boot takes much longer (it has at least 100 more apps to compile and ART at compiling is slower by default)

I don't know if it was a placebo effect but opening the apps did feel snappier. Also the the frame rate felt more stable. But again, I can't measure it.

Antutu bechmark doesn't really show much improvements. About 18400 instead of 18000. The Javascript bench was a bit better, about 6600 vs 6200.

Now, the ugly points:

An ART process after boot was getting quite stuck, eating all CPU thus slowing down each boot until I messed up around

Some background apps crashed. Like Maps. Deleting their data partially fixed the issue.

I had to reinstall Facebook (I know. I need it to make Facebook for Xperia working and sync the contacts...) because it was taking much CPU and who knows what else

Some apps, like Final fantasy VI simply do not install with ART on KitKat. In FFVI case it is even written in the Play Store page. I've seen posts reporting other apps as not working in other KK phones with ART enabled.

A Rebooter app I use instead of rebooting switches off the phone. o.0

Still a couple of issues apart the experience seemed smooth. The worst thing is the high internal memory usage. I can't really say much about the battery because I had issues already. Let's say it would be a must to use Link2SD if one has many apps and plans to use ART.

PS: In case anyone wants to test it themselves I recap the instructions to switch to ART.

Change the following line in /system/build.prop from

persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib=libdvm.so

to

persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib=libart.so

Delete the following file and directory

/data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib
/data/dalvik-cache

And then reboot.

To go back to Dalvik simply restore the old build.prop value, delete the files and reboot again.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :)
[Verizon LG G3] BadAndyAndroid:
just a few things i have noticed

Sorry I don't have 10 posts, I guess replies don't count. Anyways, I like the ROM so far. runs smooth. Battery life is actually really great. im coming off of one of the ODEX roms for the G3. I used to use CM all the time on my old S3. Here are things I have found that don't work yet.

Regular size icons. I feel as though my icons are stuck in "Large icon mode" regardless of if I toggle this function on or off. Too big for their own good.

Im sure this will come in later iterations, but icon pack compatibility? perhaps in lollipop it is in a different location from previous iterations of CM?
[Verizon LG G3] KagehiruJr:
This ROM has been eating my data up for no reason. I don't even have data on and it is destroying my data plan. 12-7-14 Build as of right now

Can't get Xposed to work

I can't get xposed to work on this ROM, that might be because it is still in alpha for lollipop though, I flash it, and when I bring up the Xposed installer, it says that it is not installed.
[Verizon LG G3] uberdaas:
is there a current maintainer for the vs985 for this rom?
[Verizon LG G3] UN5EEN:
Currently on the 12/19 build, getting freeze ups resulting in battery pull to reset. Happens usually at least twice a day. No mods are installed. Just the build itself. The previous build I was on did this as well.
[HTC One X] elidua:
Hi guys, even though my Battery Life is certified as good, the "Screen time" use of the phone is only about 2 hours of light use. I found it curious, so i've took a closer look after i rooted my 4.2.2 stock version rom, just to find out that my Panasonic 3 axis sensor (gyro) is allways on and the light sensor is on just as well but for about the quarter of the duration. I specify that i do not use the automatic brightness or other apps that might use one of these 2 features in standby. Any advice is well recieved, thanks

Looking to update to 4.4.2 without root Anyway i can do that?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tommhnyc:
Hi guys,

My touch screen is cracked and unfortunately I did a hard reset. Everything was working perfectly before but I wanted to clean up my phone before I receive new touch screen and fix it.

Now when I turn the phone on, it asks me to do alignment of the screen. Unfortunately I can't do that because my touch screen doesn't work properly. However, there is only 1 or 2 spots which respond to touch.

My question is: can I skip/pass this step (align the screen) and get inside the phone to use it without the touch screen as I could before hard reset?

Thank you very much for any replies and suggestions,

Tom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
After hard reset, connect the phone to the PC

The PPC will stop at the align touch screen bit obviously - but active sync will still allow you to set up a partnership.

Set up a partnership and navigate to Windows\Startup on the device

Delete Welcome.lnk from that directory.

Soft Reset

The welcome program where you align the screen and are forced to prove to Microsoft that you don't actually fall to the floor in a confused fit because right clicking is tap and hold, should not run.

Let me know if that works, as I've never actually tried it.

thanks

Hi,

thank you for suggestion but i can't delete this file. it says: "Cannot delete file welcome: The file may be in read-only memory, on a write-protected disk, or currently in use by another application." Probably it's the last thing that blocks deleting b/c after restarting a phone the screen pops-up saying "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile-based device"

What else can i do in that case?

Thank you,

Tom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:
Hmm its only a shortcut so it can't "be in use". Its only a symbolic link to another file.

Don't know to be honest - can you not remove the read only attribute (right click properites)? Try that. If i think of anything else Ill let you know.

Lewis
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BigDamHero:

Thank you,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tommhnyc:
ok, i tried the solution described in this article . Downloaded a program called Remote Screen Alignment from this website. File is placed in the very bottom section of the site. If you want to use this program, I suggest to download User's Manual placed below as well.

After installing this program on your computer, run it and chose one of the options. Program has few features that you might want to use in the futer. One that I used was SKIP, basicaly to avoid the Align Screen step after hard reset because my touch screen is broken.

Once again thank you BigDamHero for your help.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Tom

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: wifi calling issues

Generally speaking people having issues with wifi calling with dropped calls either have a rom

or kernel misbehaving or the wifi signal is not as good as it should be for various reasons.

Even things like the atmoshere can effect it if the signal is not strong enough to overcome it.

Personally I have no wifi calling issues myself.

Have a great day!

re: rom name

That's for sure, I gave up trying to find a better name for it using google a long time ago. LOL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] glensta:
Weird, I clean flashed, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, and system (yes I'm on the stock NK4 firmware) and it started bootloping, then flashed the rom and got stuck in a bootloop.

I'll try and flash a kernel separately maybe that'll help. Just an FYI.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: bootloop

Is your phone a N910T Tmobile?

Besides flashing did you do a factory reset?

A factory reset is just as important as wiping.

(at least that's what I do)

Very cool rom . I like the transparent drop down and icons . I hope theres no trouble with the afore mentioned rom issues. I'd like to see this rom stick around.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

One thing I am not finding I was hoping would be there is a toggle for data ? Am I just not seeing it or ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: mobile data

Adding mobile data is not too difficult, you can simply follow this step by step:

1) Download sqlite editor app from the Playstore.

2) Open the app and give it root permissions.

3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"

4) Tap "Settings.db"

5) Tap "System"

6) Scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list",

tap to highlight it.

7) Once it is highlighted tap the phones menu button.

8) Tap "Edit Record"

9) You'll see a list of all the toggles that are currently enabled to show in notification area.

10) At the bottom of the list add ; and the words MobileData then another ;.

So it will look like this at the end. ;AirplaneMode;MobileData; Then press Save.

11) Reboot and you should have a data toggle now.

Here is the play store download link for the sqlite editor:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksk.sqliteeditor

OR if you know how to use a root capable file explorer like root explorer then here

is a zip file with the modified settings.db file which adds the MobileData toggle by

simply copying one file. This zip file also contains step by step instructions.

Here is the direct download link for the MobileToggle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7oab1k1dao1e3n/MobileDataToggle.zip?dl=0

Please NOTE: This is NOT a flashable zipfile.

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
Ok will do .
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: permissions

If it does not ask it means it already has permissions or it does not

need any. So just skip the part which talks about permissions.

Open Database is what you need to do first, then scroll

and find "setting storage" and continue from there.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Some_dude36:
I was looking around for settings.db and when I tapped several folders it said no root access.

Once I had the correct editor that was fairly painless. Thanks alot . Personally , these days I dont see how a data toggle isnt added to every rom but I guess if there is a silver lining in that cloud is it appears to be easy as pie to add one.

Might this same procedure work to add a flashlight toggle too ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: Toggles

I am not sure about the flashlight, will try adding it on my rom to find out.

Here are a lot of toggles you can add (or remove):

FlashLight; (or Flashlight)

MobileData;

AirplaneMode;

SmartPause;

Brightness;

WiFiHotspot;

SmartScroll;

SmartStay;

SBeam;

Nfc;

AirGesture;

DormantMode;

This rom has tethering, what it doesn't have is tethering which defeats tmobile's data plans.

Wifi Tethering

For those wanting an excellent way to get free unlimited wifi tethering

here is the play store link for "Wifi Tether Router", check it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

This is not a free app but it's definitely worth a couple of bucks.

You need to change your APN, simply navigate to:

Settings > More > Mobile networks >Access Point Names.

Select your T-Mobile APN, and scroll to APN protocol.

Change this to IPv4, and then save your APN.

Turn your Note 4 device into a WiFi Router.

WiFi Tether Router lets you use your smartphone as a WiFi hotspot without

any additional costs.

Most cellular providers charge additional rates on top of your smartphone

data plan for tethering or hotspot usage.

With WiFi Tether Router, however, you can connect to the internet via another

wifi-enabled device through your carrier’s data plan that is already associated

with your phone.

WiFi Tether Router is simple to use without any complexities.

Simply configure the your hotspot by first naming your personal network

located under “Configure WiFi Router” then select “Enable WiFi Router”

to begin surfing the web from your secondary device or PC.

Have a great day...
