[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Hi guys

I have a OnePlus inbound and asked myself this: Users of about every single device from every single manufacturer have to make due with a worsened camera quality experience when moving away from stock ROMs to AOSP-based or vanilla Android builds. This is usually due to closed-source implementation of proprietary camera features which can only be enabled or accessed when using the stock camera app on a stock ROM etc and holds true for Sony, Samsung, LG and probably many more. Even Nexus-devices under certain circumstances. Usually caused by post-processing and image enhancement mechanisms to go haywire and (native/hardware) HDR being absent, resulting in much worsened image quality when taking pictures.

Is the OnePlus One also affected? When moving away from CM11S to AOSP, CM11, CM12 or ParanoidAndroid, will the camera experience be worse or are the OnePlus camera features documented well enough, so that custom ROMs can maintain the stock camera quality?

Thanks for answers.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can use the CM11S camera on any ROM for this device.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
No decline in quality when switching back and forth between whatever ROM fits this device then.

Good to head and thanks for answering.

Hey [MENTION=4451478]atlharp[/MENTION] did you flash other kernel?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
This ROM is based on 4.2.2. If you use 4.4.2 base you will have issues with screen brightness.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I have updated first post with a new download link. Hopefully this one is working better.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
You're welcome. I hope you like it!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Moe5508:
So best procedure is flash down if you are on 4.4.2 base (LG Stock 20d) to 4.2.2 (20a) and then flash this? To avoid the dimness issue I read about above here?

This rom is working perfectly fine. I did a factory reset (i was on liquidsmooth rom before) in recovery before flashing to avoid bugs.

If you like dark theme, you'll got pleny with this one ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Xup8:
thanks for answer! I was worry because i don't want lose my apps and configurations for nothing, but since there are not any issue i definitely will try this rom later!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Why don't you use titanium backup? Then you don't have to worry... Just backup and restore them as they are right now.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:

With titanium backup can I backup all my apps and their configurations?

couple of new option... again, thanks for this rom!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] evilhunter101:
Good ROM except the recents button* doesn't work most of the time. Makes a sound effect and then doesn't do anything. Occasionally happens with then home button too. Very strange. From a clean flash BTW.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
I can actually reproduce that. I think it has something to do with the new navbar customization. I have the same problem with my LG G2 running validus.

If I from home screen press recent button and then press on any app, the recent button doesn't do anything. Is that how it is for you?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] evilhunter101:
Yes and no. It is very random. Sometimes I can go in an app and hit recent and it'll be fine. Other times I can go into the same app and it behaves as you described.

It does seem to happen every time I open an app from another app. Like if I open an app from inside the play store. Seems to be happening to both the home and back button also but less frequently.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Thanks. I just got it confirmed that the team are aware of the problem. So hopefully it will be fixed in the next build. You could go back to 01/29 build if it bothers you to much.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] evilhunter101:
I think I can tough it out until it's fixed. Don't use my tablet too much these days. Thanks for a very good ROM.

And that is present in pretty much all the ROMs out there? I have never encountered black screen. So I can't investigate myself...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Jansxel:

Just flashed this today. ROM looks nice but Google Play services crashes immediately upon attempting to use any Google app making device useless. Thoughts?

Edit: going to re-download gapps and ROM and reflash in the meantime, hopefully that will fix it.

Edit2: Re-download and double check of MD5+ clean flash didn't help. Still Google Play Services crash over and over. Going to search for different gapps to try.

Hi

after using a few days, there are some bugs:

- lockscreen rotation: I disable the rotation on lockscreen, but it does rotating it.

- black screen: Random bug, I don't know why, but while using the tab it switch the screen to black. It does not freeze or reboot. It is running well, but the screen is totally black, so I don't see anything. If I turn it off, and on I can feel the vibration of pattern lock. I can restart it only pressing the power button for a while.

I use multirom, it needs a custom kernel. May it cause this bug?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] slebit:
Which ROM? Is it Tesla?

Black screen is a known bug with all cm based trees. I forgot to merge a couple of new commits to device tree. Will probably be fixed for next version of all my ROMs.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mityokm:
Tesla did it 3 times, so I switched to validus. It did it 3times so I will go back to stock + gravity box :(

It is slower I think, but stable...

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr.itdude:
So, the situation is I have moto g xt1033 with :- unlocked bootloader, rooted, stock rom 4.4.4 kitkat (i mean no custom rom). and fastboot flash mode 41.13 2014-06-16 and philz touch 6 clockworkmod v6.0.4.7

I want to know how to update to lollipop with official OTA update (not manually or sideloaded)?

Why I am asking this?

I got the prompt of official OTA available on my phone and then i clicked yes and downloaded the update. But when i clicked on install, it went in bootloop. It boots on the philz recovery mode and then nothing happens just restart again whatever i select.

As of now, as I backed up, I recovered to the before state of the phone. Do I need to lock the bootloader again or what? The official OTA update is not for me? Then how to get lollipop? I read the soak test etc threads but why not official update ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instinctblade:
Locking the bootloader won't do anything,so don't lock it

Ota update requires:

1.Stock firmware(unmodified and unchanged or tampered)

2.unrooted

3.Stock recovery

That probably happend becuZ your KitKat firmware was modified and you have custom recovery,root..

So just reflash the stock firmware

Do that on your own risk as failing this might brick your phone

Thank me if I helped :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr.itdude:
Thanks mate for reply.

1. I have stock firmware KK 4.4.4 (though xposed framework & few modules are installed currently)

2. Rooted

3. What is stock recovery? (m noob here)

And i guess reflashing the stock firmware wipes out all user data & apps, right?

Any other alternative which does not wipes out my data?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] instinctblade:
Actually there is no other way you could do it

i tried everything i could to stop the wipe procedure but it obviously wiped everything

you just backup everything you have got on your internal and external sd card ..

1.Stock Recovery:: Android devices come with Google’s recovery environment, which is often referred to as the “stock recovery.” You can boot to the recovery system by pressing device-specific buttons as your phone or tablet boots or by issuing an adb command that boots your device to recovery mode. The recovery menu provides options to help recover your device — for example, you can reset your device to its factory default state from here. The recovery mode can also be used to flash OTA update files.

2.Custom Recovery::A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod — but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.

what you have to do is:

Find the Kitkat official update on the internet accrouding to your [Build number],[model number] [system version] you can get this information in about phone....

If you have asia retail then follow this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700502
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr.itdude:
ok Here what i am planning:

1. Uninstall all modules & xposed framework

2. Unroot using supersu

3. Restore/reflash stock recovery (just recovery not whole firmware as I already have stock rom)

4. Install the update either manually via recovery or using auto install.

Am i on right path? Pls help me on step 3, any link or step-t-step guide? I couldn't find one, every post is abt restoring whole firmware.

TIA. Cheers !!
