Just checked this on a Nexus 5 running LP (5.0.1). Conclusion? This doesn't look like something added by Google (you can check out the attached screenshot for more info on how does it look on the Nexus). It was most likely added by the CM team. Now, if this is ever gonna work (which I hope it will), it's gonna be sometime in the future. Right now, this looks like a bug. :)

i9190 Cynogenmode Lollipop - Quick Setting Customization????

Am new to lollipop, recently installed cm12 in my i9190.

It looks refreshed and new. Touch are smooth. Nice material look.

I would like to know- whether i can customize the quick settings (Add or remove new feature)

Also i couldn't see the 'mobile data connection' on/off button in it. Wifi ,bluetooth ,gps are there.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelsberg:
[MENTION=6338411]Shabeer_v1.2[/MENTION]: Next nightly will have most of these customizations. The current code base has errors though, so CM12 doesn't build for most devices.

FYI, in the beginning of the CM development cycle most unique features of CM are missing. They have to be gradually ported to Google's new code base, which is quite an effort.

So I just downloaded the 20150114 nightly through CyanogenMod Updates (settings menu) and flashed on top of my previous 20150106 (first official nightly) installation. My phone wouldn't boot. It was freezing at the S4 Mini logo and weird colors would appear on my screen.

Coming from CM11, you need a new recovery and a clean install. So, even if it were technically possible, I would still not recommend it. Make a backup of your internal memory (images, downloads etc) on your external memory or PC, then make sure you make a clean installation of the ROM. It's for your own good.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daredevil 720:
I know what you're talking about. The first time you boot CM after a clean installation the CM logo stays on screen while "Android is optimizing apps..." which takes a while so it's good to have the dialogue on first boot. However I'm talking about something else.

My device was freezing at the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195 logo, and the whole screen was slowly turning white with random R/G/B dots appearing all over the screen.

I checked the md5 checksum of the zip I installed and it appears to be correct so it wasn't a corrupt installation file. Only thing to blame is the installation process.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
I wonder how i can do a backup. I have TWRP and running the latest nightly build. I want to backup the whole system, apps and everything on the SD-card. I tried in recovery but it only did a backup of TWRP, even though i chose to backup everything, and Titanium fails too. So is there a possibility to do a backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
You might need CWM 6.0.5.1 or maybe a newer version of TWRP, if you wish to stick to that one. For as far as I know, previous CM12 builds (especially the unofficial one) were able to run with both TWRP and CWM. I personally never really liked TWRP so when I first installed CM12, the unofficial version, I was still using CWM.

Now with the official version, you need to install an updated version of CWM (6.0.5.1) for CM12. I'm guessing that if you wish to stick to TWRP and run the official CM12 build, you might want to also upgrade your TWRP to the latest version.

Ooor...you could simply switch to CWM 6.0.5.1 and problem solved. The backup feature works just fine with that one. So it's up to you.

Thank you so much. I don't know if my release is unofficial or not but the name is 12-20150114-NIGHTLY-serranoltex.

And lastly where do i find official builds?

Link is at the first page. Open your eyes, dude.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Link is broken dude
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
All the information you need is on the first page.

But let's take you step by step.

So, first of all, I'm gonna assume that you've got the LTE variant since you say that's what you got on your phone right now. Ok?

Good.

Second of all, from your message (12-20150114-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx) it does look like you've got the GT-I9195 and also, it looks like you already got the official build.

So, with that being said, let's go into flashing the recovery and getting your ROM back together.

For the recovery, you will need, of course, the actual CWM recovery that you can download from here (direct download link). And here is the actual thread, for future reference.

For the ROM installation, you will need the ROM, obviously, and the Gapps.

The ROM can be downloaded directly from here. And here is the link to the actual thread, for future reference.

Also, here is the direct download link for the Gapps. And here is the link to the actual thread, for future reference.

Now, put all these on your external SD card and let's proceed with the installation of the CWM recovery first.

For that, you've got multiple options. I like to use Flashify, a third party app that you can download from the Play Store (you need to have Root enabled in Developer settings, for Adb + Apps). In order to use that one, you need to extract the "recovery.img" file from the CWM archive that you downloaded above.

Once downloaded and granted Root permissions, select Recovery Image -> Choose a File, select the actual recovery.img file from wherever you might have put it, and add it inside the Flashify app. After that, flash it.

This should make sure that you've got your CWM recovery in place. You can reboot into recovery to check if everything is ok.

While you're there, you might want to select "wipe data (factory reset)" - this will wipe all your settings, contacts, calendar entries and messages - you can use any third party app to back those up as well, then go to "mounts and storage" and select format /system. This step is extremely important so be sure you don't miss it.

After that, select install zip, select sdcard1 (your external sd card), browse the ROM zip arhive and flash it.

After that, do exactly the same for the Gapps archive.

Once done, reboot your device.

*It might tell you that you lost root. You can ignore that. Root is enabled in Developer Options now, as I mentioned above.

If you've got any questions, please, let me know before you make a mistake.

If you only want the recovery, since you already got the official build (not sure how clean your installation was though, so I would still suggest formatting data and especially, system) you could just get Flashify, flash CWM recovery.img and there you go.

Thank you very much! I will do this asap.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
The zipped CWM recovery file, when i unzip it i get a md5-file not an image. Do i misunderstand something or is that the img-file?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
You did not misunderstand. The zip file contains a tar archive. They are both archives, one inside the other. And the last one contains the recovery.img I was talking about.

You can either use WinRAR and extract the recovery.img from the tar archive, or click here and get it already extracted. Please, do not rename the file.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Thank you again. I have done exactly now as you have written and i see now that the installation is finished on the S4 mini. Now a further question,i have bought from store two different busy box pro before, and SuperSu from Chainfire. Shall i let it be as it is now or can i install one of the busybox pro? I assume SuperSu from Chainfire is not a good idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooon3:

Any news from CM about further nightlies. Is the theme integration the reason for these four days without any update? Just wondering... I'm a patient dude!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
The ROM comes with Superuser preinstalled (built into the OS). You don't need anything else. I would also not mix them together.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooleo:
Ok, then i will not install any busybox or superuser app, just let it be as it is. Million thanks to you for taking your time helping me out with this.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
You're welcome. I like Google Launcher over Trebuchet. It doesn't bring a lot of customization as the other ones do, but it runs ok and it brings me all the features I personally need. Also, it syncs with Google so that when you restore your backup (by the way, having most of your stuff backed up on your Google account is not a bad idea, in my opinion), it also restores all the apps and all the layout (including your wallpaper, lol) exactly as they were the last time it synced those things. So..up to you. I usually prefer a less cluttered phone. Otherwise I would have stuck with Samsung's TouchWiz ROM which has plenty of bull**** I don't need.

So which is the most less consuming memory launcher? I want to have the feature to make different maps with certain apps into like in Nova.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericlnu:
Yes, but you'll have have to do "factory reset", as some stuff isn't compatible between CM 11 and 12 (Android 4.4.x and 5.x). 11 to 12 is a major update. As in, very different not just in looks, but behind the scenes, so to speak.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seesawCharli:
Uh, do you mean the default launcher that comes with CM12? You can actually disable the search bar easily under home screen settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsradu:
Well, first thing, make sure you always make a clean installation of the ROM. This is really important.

After that, no, I don't use any cleaning app. I don't need any cleaning/speed-up app. And I'll tell you this: if your phone is laggy, the last thing you want is another app running in background, eating memory just to "manage" the other apps.

What I can tell you is that, if your phone is laggy with NO apps installed (other than the stock Gapps of course) then you can ask yourself if there isn't probably something wrong with the phone/ROM. But if you're using apps that are running in background, eating A LOT of memory and data (such as Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp) then you should not expect great performance. And that's not because of the phone.

So, I don't use Facebook, Twitter or Whatsapp. I don't need them. At least not running on my phone. I do however use Hangouts, which is built-in (well, it comes with the Gapps) and runs ok, Gmail app for Gmail and other accounts (since the newer version comes with multi-protocol support) and, of course, the built-in Messaging app.

So...what can I say, just be careful what you're installing. I don't need a cleanup app and, at least to me, Google Launcher performs very well. No stuttering whatsoever. I'm not saying it's the best launcher out there. I'm just saying it's the best for my personal needs. And having a persistent Google Search bar doesn't bother me at all, to be honest.

The trick is to use as few applications as possible, if you don't necessarily need them or if there are other apps that do the same thing. The idea is to minimize the number of running apps in the background.

If you don't need an app, don't use another app to stop the first app. Just uninstall the damn thing (unless it's a system app in which case things become a little more complicated, but not by much).

For as far as I know, LP comes with a pretty decent memory management. So, in theory, you don't need any other third party app running in background. What you need is your mind, and your judgement, sorting priorities and telling you what you need and what you don't need. In a word: order.

CM12 comes with Trebuchet, not Google Now Launcher. They look similar, but they are far from being the same thing.

Wise words that comes in handy. The phone after clean install is superfast. I was amazed of the difference to the stock KK that was on the phone when bought it. I will strongly consider my need of apps now to what i Really need!

If I had to do clean installs with every nightly, I wouldn't update. It's a major hassle reinstalling and configuring everything from scratch. Took me well over half a day when I moved from KK to Lollipop

Sure some might say just use titanium backup to restore all apps but that would defeat the point of doing a clean install not mentioning that TB does have issues restoring between Kk and lollipop.

I make weekly nandroid backups and whenever there is a nightly that feels fishy, I do a pre update backup too, just in case.

If you really can't do it otherwise, you can at least format /system and not always format /data (except for the first install, coming from another ROM or coming from KK to LP). This way you will keep your data but the system folder will always be clean.

Also, I'm not sure how can you "feel" when a nightly update is fishy before installing it. But anyway, it's your phone.

Most customs ROMs I've used do "format /system" before installing the new version but checking the updater-script on CM12, I can't see that so thanks for the heads up.

About the "fishy" part. As you might now, several nightly's have been skipped for our device. Once the next update is indeed released, don't you agree it would be one of those times where its advisable to make a backup before "just in case"? Same things goes when you start reading multiple reports about things not working with a new release but you still want to try it out. Thats what I mean by "fishy"... but as you said, its my phone and my time to do a clean install if things go wrong so yeah, I rather loose 3 minutes doing a full backup just in case when something smells "fishy" :D

Hey, Tony

No problem. Yeah, for this particular case, you could say that the next update might smell "fishy "and it is recommended to do a backup, just in case some things might be broken. :) Though, from my personal experience, even if the updates come on time, you could still have surprises. And not pleasant ones. Especially during the early development stages. So...I don't know. It's always good to have a backup. Preferably and updated one.
