My expierence about CM10.1 - LG Optimus 4X HD

It's of course the best os because it's the newest..
But it's faster than official v20a
I didn't find any bugs (for my usage) at the nightly
So for a nightly I can use it.
Even gaming is better! (for me) GTA III runs faster in my opinion
So CyanogenMod i should suggest usig it!

can't agree more

I find using the AOSP 4.2 launcher to be MUCH smoother than the Trebuchet launcher in CM10.1 - I actually felt that Trebuchet was quite laggy.

Nova, Apex and ADWEx are all top-notch launcher in regard of smoothness

battery drain so fast....device heated.....no custom kernel....

I'm not having this I can get a full day with CM10.1

My experience with latest build is awesome, everything is pretty stable! Now everything's working hopefully they start focusing on kernel features and performance
Sent from my rooted P880

impressed by the 'vanillaness' of system and settings.
battery saving wise i'm not experiencing any.

That's weird... My battery is three times better than it was on stock. CyanogenMod is working out so much better. With future improvements and a new kernel we shall have a worthy contender to beat nexus 4.

on cm 10.1 i have a fast battery drain. with light usage, my battery died after 9 hours. maybe i should do a reset. other features are great. better performance and gaming ^^

[ROM][DELETE]

is this ROM has default overclock?
Hey, I have any question ..
1. Is responsive touchscreen or not?
2. After Reboot, whether direct sdcard illegible or not? whether it should be off the first and re-enter.
can we install app or game on sd card without missing shortcut icon after reboot device?
Thanks man, hope there is no sd card problems
Yeahh i just moved an app to sd card, works perfectly
FEEDBACK
i tested just now ,and this is my feedback
first of all ,it's super fast .no lags anymore
rom is clean and beautiful ,no useless apps.but i think networkusage.apk is useless without LG home
quadrant score is over 2000,without overlock .very impressive score .you now ,original score is 1400+,so it has a lot of performance increase
i'm testing more things ,feedback later
This ROM has all my tweaks so it must be nice hehe.
When I get home monday I'll test it.
The additional increase on quadrant is due to kernel BFS that even though it betters cpu score, its also a bad idea to use on . 32 kernels since its an old and problematic BFS version. I told him this but its his ROM.

Fast, all okay with the reading of the SD-card, in my opinion disappeared 2-sec. delay when answering an incoming call.
Is established through a recovery-menu on top of the 10a or Nova. Does a full cleaning of the facility. You may need to manually enter the settings for the internet connection (through APN)
Titanium Backup doesn't work :S but root does. So maybe busybox issue? Or was just bad luck? Went back to previous rom (backup).
If someone can confirm Titanium works or it's fixed, I will test it again.

Used it for a while...here are my feedbacks, dont take it seriously! it might hurt you!
- A bit laggy(games and apps)yet the quadrant scores are better than Nova.
- Currently only have the 4 default governors. Add more!
- OI File Manager isn't that good! Root Explorer or File Expert!

Yes I'm going to take it seriously but in the good way man. It is the only way to make better. I think the lag you are talking about is because of BFS. Noejn advised me about it but I'm already working on replacing that buggy version. I also will add more governors, I'm working on it too and the File Manager will probably stay because as I already said I cannot add paid applications to my ROM it goes against XDA rules. Thanks for reporting

May be if it was more informative. Apps don't change size depending on ROM. So have you used any file explorer to see if you have logs filling in or lost+found folder. SD maid like apps.

dont think cm's camera has that option enabled yet. you may try few things, like using iodak's ported stock camera app for aosp roms, or extracting the gallery2.apk file from a rom which has "save to external sd card" option in their camera (probably all 4.2.2, 4.3 and some 4.4 roms)
I dont see that option to store pictutes, too. I use DSLR Camera

On Vanir but...
it's the same for me. Ever since moving from Vanir 4.3.x to Vanir 4.4.x. At first I thought it was just an omission in the cam settings, but since then I've encountered a few strange things that led me to believe it wasn't (just) an omission in the settings. I use FTPServer usually to transfer stuff from PC to ext SD and it too can't write to external SD, then I went and tried with ES File Explorer and RootExplorer - all same. This all seems to me as it's an permissions (mounting?) problem and, since I see now it's not specific to Vanir, I'm inclined to conclude it's got something to do with KitKat itself. I'm going to try and find a solution, if I do, I'll bring it back home (here). Beware, I'm a total noob Android-wise, so if anyone who knows better sees this thread, please help.
EDIT 1: Damn, I'm a new user, so I can't post external links. I'll try and "describe" it.

our external sd card isn't mounted as writable by default in kitkat. danny1990 has a fix in beanstalk topic, you gotta change permissions.xml file, really easy to do. the important thing is if there is an *option* inside camera app to save to sd-ext (if there is, your pictures will turn out corrupted untill you fix permissions.xml)
edit:
yeah, it's platform.xml, and the fix is the same as the one in that article.
Thanks
Yeah, I've just "fixed" the permissions in platform.xml and all the file explorers and the ftp server now work as before. Unfortunately, the cam app still doesn't have "choose storage location" option; it's obviously left out in the app. Thanks for your help, mate.
Also, if there's anyone on the new Vanir Nightly, did your cam app start lagging like crazy on the last two nigthlies? On 011714 and 011814 my cam is unusable. What's it like for you on CM? It takes about 20 seconds from "button press" to it taking the photo. Everything else in the cam app works without lag (focusing, change of focal point, settings, switching to gallery, between gallery and cam-view, between taken pictures... I'm to new to post in the development section, so if there's anyone that has a simmilar experience with our cam app on the latest nigthtlies, it'd be very nice if he/she'd post it in the Vanir thread. Thanks

try grabbing gallery2.apk from beanstalk, and using it in your vanir nightly; beanstalk build has a camera that supports choosing of storage location.
also, does the lag you get from camera happen only when you manually focus, or even when you just press shutter without manually focusing?

Thanks. Will look into it. (I've never disassembled an Android ROM, so I don't know what I'll find in the zip, but I'll gladly read up on it and learn).
EDIT: Tried the gallery2.apk from beanstalk, no changes. The option for storage location doesn't appear. Tried installing camera2.apk from the same ROM, but got denied with something like "the same apk already installed, conflicting signatures". There's also no change in camera lag.

Unfortunately it happens no matter what I do / how I take a photo (I've just tried doing it without focusing manually.). About 15-20 second lag. Also, I've just noticed that it doesn't record video. When I press the "rec" button, the timer starts counting, but the display freezes (not the whole display, but the "live action display" (displays what you're recording) and when I stop the recording after about 30 seconds, nothing is saved.
EDIT: I've also noticed that Instagram (unlike foursquare, whatsapp & facebook, which obviously use the "stock" cam app) takes photos in normal time frame, but that it also doesn't save the video. I press&hold to record, when I release, there's nothing recorded.
Hmmm, maybe official cm11 team derped sth in last nightlies. And my bad, you meed camera2.apk,not the gallery one, but first you must delete your original camera2.apk, then put beanstalks camera2.apk in system/app and set permissions like other apks have, and reboot. This is screenshot of beanstalks camera settings, notice the location is set as sd card.
Thanks. Will try that as soon as I'm done with work stuff... Maybe the Beanstalk cam helps. Thanks again

Done as you've said, now both the front camera (that doesn't work in latest three Vanir nightlies - 19,18,17) and the "main" camera work. The lag isn't present when automatically focusing, but presents itself when using manual focus (manual focal point selection). Also, it now saves to external sd.
The video still freezes after a couple of seconds, the timer continues counting, but no video saved.
Thanks a lot for your help. I'll try and learn about logging and reporting bugs to the devs... give, what little I have to give, back to the guys who spend their precious time and brainpower for all of us. See you around.

lag is present in manual focus, yeah, hopefully that'll be fixed soon. if you don't want to bother, install iodak's ported official camera, it has working manual focus, and it also has save to external sd option. check themes&apps subforum.
video isn't working yet on roms based on unofficial cm11, and vanir official (like omni official, and slimkat (un)official) is based on our unofficial cm11 sources ^^
if you really really need video, try cyanfox or official cm11 nightlies, they have working camera, but at the cost of lower performance and some other bugs
devs already know about the issue we have with camera, so no need to report it (you can check cm11 unofficial/omnirom threads for updates about camera problems). good luck and enjoy :good:

I've didnt see such option from time when internal memory get more than 5GB.
Only whith apps 5GB of memory is enough. Link2SD or Integrated Apps2SD moved only APK files and datas like saves which is also stored in internal memory. For data files (games obb files for example) you have to use apps like Folder Mount, or mount folders by ownmade script, or "from finger" in Terminal Emulator.
That's a shame I'll stick with stock running version . 257

internal is more than enough... theres app called app2sd or link2sd... those should do it.. but things u have to rmember.. why sony dont put app into sd is it will make the app run slower n laggy... bcos the pathways is bcame complex and the read/write from external is much more slower than internal.. just put music n photo to external.. clear everything except apps into it.. that should do it
That confirms to me that I should stick with what I have currently.

Advantages of CM 12.1 over stock with different laucher

At the moment I'm very satisfied with my rooted fire having stock firmware and Nova launcher.
Anyway, many people are happy about having the possibility to change from stock to CM 12.1 firmware.
Question is: what are the main advantages of CM 12.1 compared to a rooted stock firmware?

I am using CM for 2 days now
+ Square.Home launcher is finally fully working (on stock firmware - widgets and notifications where not avaliable for it, even after made it system)
+ Modded playstore with patched jar file (was not able to patch it on original)
+ Normal downloads (It was so stretched, made my eyes bleed)
+ Much more free space - and much less in-built ****
+ Normal system search (say bb to bing)
+ Normal system settings (Manual time set, full Notifications management, accounts management, etc)
- No bluetooth
- No SIM icon (can be fixed now, i am just too lazy)
- No battery stats
I tried out CM12.1 and while it's great to have stock, playing videos isn't working quite right (the system seems to hang for about 15 seconds, plays a bit of video, then hangs again, and repeats). I got Netflix to work, but PLEX and other forum apps didn't work right.
my only problem with CM 12.1 atm is no exFat or NTFS support, so my 64gb and 128gb sdcards are useless

It's odd, I've seen reports that they don't work & reports that they do work for some people. No mention of having to reformat or anything to get it working.

PLEX was the big one for me. I'd see the first frame of video, then the system would freeze (no response to tapping back/home), then 10-15 seconds later it might play a few more frames, then do the same thing. .gifv links in imgur also fail to animate in Chrome (and I think I tried Firefox).
No problems with video using FireOS.

my only problem with CM 12.1 atm is no exFat or NTFS support, so my 64gb and 128gb sdcards are useless

You can format a 64 Gb in FAT 32 with guiformat.

Same story, video doesn't work under CM 12 while there is no problem with Fire OS.

SlimLP developers csolanol, diegocr have put out an update, v2.0, just yesterday 12/01 with a fix (or potential fix) for video. Post 47. At least one report that it fixed plex. Post 60:

Just flashed the new rom and got to say THANK YOU!
Before I had problems playing videos in both VLC and Plex, both are now working flawlessly!

I've personally only tried youtube in firefox & local video files in vlc & mx player. Those worked fine for me in CM v2015-11-22.
Fixes for various bugs and new rom updates seem to be coming fast. At least to me. Untethered boot from ggow, OTG, battery stats, no sim bug, bluetooth, multiuser, video fix, feels like every couple days there is an improvement. Major props to all developers & contributors.

Users have reported a couple potential solutions in the CM12.1 thread. Which videos hang for you? I actually haven't seen that on my Fire yet.
It's odd, I've seen reports that they don't work & reports that they do work for some people. No mention of having to reformat or anything to get it working.
Just tried my 64gb samsung evo card, no joy, CM12.1 does not see it.

Use Fat32 format, the card will be seen.

Admittedly I've only tested for a few minutes on a couple of movies, one basic mp4 and one divx but I had no problems with MX using the latest CM build. As blueberry.sky said the devs are working their little cotton socks off on this and achieving rapid progress.
Big thanks to ggow et. al.

At the moment I'm very satisfied with my rooted fire having stock firmware and Nova launcher.
Anyway, many people are happy about having the possibility to change from stock to CM 12.1 firmware.
Question is: what are the main advantages of CM 12.1 compared to a rooted stock firmware?

Lockscreen can be changed, all widgets work with any launcher, debloated all of amazon, cyanogenmod customization, etc. I have run my Fire in both stock rooted with a launcher and with Cyanogenmod, trust me it is worth it.

I reinstall last version of CM, install MX Playrer and the AIO Codec neon and did the two settings reco. It works perfectly. Thanks for support and the great job done by the CM 12.1 team.

You were absolutely right - I'm on SlimLP now and very satisfied
Thx.
Another question: is it possible/advisable transfering the SlimLP-installation from one Fire to another Fire via TWRP-backup/restore, or is there any danger messing up with google sync or something else?

Why wouldn't you just do a clean install? Getting the device to TWRP is 90% of the effort. If you are going from stock to a custom ROM, you really should wipe out all the old data.

Well, I got two devices. One is on stock (rooted and so on) the other one is on SlimLP since today. On SlimLP's device I've downloaded all the apps needed and made all the configurations I want. So if I could backup/restore the SlimLP (with all the apps and configurations) to the stock device I'd save about 2-3 hours of work.

Yes, that should work fine.
restore system has not worked for me, stock or cm12.1, so I have been
In Twrp: Install rom, Supersu, gapps, then restore> uncheck all except data>swipe to restore
Like what shadow said.. Both systems are altered after boot ( differ even just slightly) so completely porting may crack your wallpaper but its safe .. You should try it .. If I were you .. I would have tried 2 different roms on each.. But yeah it takes time .. So ...
