Hi all,
This is my first post in these forums but I've been lurking for some time. I just want to bring attention to a few minor issues I'm having with CM7.
1) Sometimes randomly, the main dock disappears and only comes back after a reboot. Anyone else experience this?
2) On the stock HTC Sense, all running apps, or recently run apps, would show up when I brought down the notification bar. For instance, if I was playing Angry Birds and decided I wanted to send a text, I could press Home, write the text, then quickly drag down the top bar and click Angry Birds, which would be sitting next to the Text icon ready to go. On CM7, the apps in use do not appear there (only Lookout security shows up under "ongoing"), so I have to go back into the drawer or choose the icon from the home screen. I found that having all running/recently running apps was very convenient to have on the drop-down bar.
3) When I first started using the camera it was okay, and then at some point every picture I started taking with the stock CM7 camera becomes extremely grainy. When I take a picture with other apps this does not happen, so I know it is not the hardware, but the actual app causing the problem.
4) Camera app menu is oriented only for landscape. Any possibility of changing this? Also [side note], the stock Incredible S camera used the entire screen for the picture which I really enjoyed - I haven't been able to find an app that does this on CM7
5) Contrary to what I've read, I find the audio is actually less powerful than the stock HTC Sense for Inc. S. Anyone agree?
6) On the mail app (not Gmail), there is no way to add mail to spam
These are all extremely minor issues. Overall CM7 is great, quick and lightweight. Kudos to all the developers on this, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say your work is beyond appreciated. You take the possibilities to enjoy these devices to the next level.
Hi key2gb, here's my experience with your above points:
1- This happened to me, but only once and it was fixed with a reboot. Although I thought it was because of ADWLauncher at first..
2- I hadn't realized this as I didn't get to play enough with Sense before moving on to CM7, but now that you mention it it does sound like a cool feature!
3- I have taken a few pictures with the CM7 camera and I haven't seen too much grain in the images. Maybe it depends on lighting and if the camera changes ISO's (I don't know if a phone camera can do this).
4- I am running CM7 Nightly#68 and the camera icons rotate when I place the phone in portrait "stance". Although I did overall prefer the Sense camera and have yet to find one in the market that comes close to it.
5- When you talk of audio, do you mean the front speaker, back speaker or headphone jack? I haven't used headphones with it yet, but as for the two speakers I have found the volume adequate for my needs as of now.
6- I only use Gmail
I have found that Nightly#68 "fixed" or added a lot of features from RC1 and since my switch to the Nightly build I feel that the phone is near perfection.
Thanks for the response. I am hesitant to switch to the Nightly build because I am not experienced enough with the tech-world yet, though I am getting more into it. It warns against non-experienced people using those so I don't mind waiting a few months for updates and more confirmation that the Nightly is completely stable. Then again, that's what backups are for, right?
For audio - I use my speaker phone for conference calls often and the speaker isn't nearly as loud as it was on the stock.
For the camera - it's a very strange problem on my phone because it only happens with the stock camera. You know how when you take a picture, as it's done processing the picture kind of sets into itself? Right after I take the picture, it sets and then it gets this weird staticy-grainy layer. It doesn't happen on other camera apps, just the stock. I use Streamzoo and that works fine. I really with I could get the Sense camera though it was really great.
I'm sorry I won't be able to furthur aid you as my knowledge in the field is limited. Hoping someone else comes along!
Although I was wary at first as well in trying the nightly builds. I gave it a try on #68 and it has been very stable (no problems at all).
For the audio, I just got an idea. Have you tried playing in the DSP Manager options? I don't know if there might be something there that might help a bit?

Good idea, I'll play around with the DSP Manager next time I'm on speaker.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Very happy to see this. Thanks for all your hard work! I hope this one reaches a level of stability the previous CM versions didn't, so that I can use it as a daily driver.
Sweet! Thank you hashcode once again! Looking forward to trying this and i am happy that screen rotation bug is cleared up, awesome. Also, i will be awaiting updated builds with great anticipation.
Damn you, hashcode! This ROM is so incredible I don't know if I'll be able to stand going back to ICS.
The improvements are stunning, I am very impressed to see the screen rotation/screenshot bug fixed. Smooth as butter, but I wont be able to use it as a daily driver until the camera is fixed (at least in 3rd party apps).
Thank you for all your hard work!

Awesome work! Just flashed the 12/17 update. 3rd party camera is working!
Getting some occasional screen tearing while scrolling, other than that everything else so far seems to be smoother and faster than CM10
Gonna take me a while to get use to the new toggles
Loving the updated recent apps screen and animations.
Hmm, while typing this, I'm getting some weird flickering and white vertical lines on my keyboard.

I see a bit of lag. Camera works for me on 3rd party. Yay.
Biggest issue though is phone crashes when making and receiving calls. If that was fixed could use as daily driver

Mine did once, had to pull the battery . Wouldn't stop ringing. I had just installed small call and thought it was that, disabled it and was able to make and receive a call just fine.
I'm back on CM10 now, so I don't know if it is still an issue ... can't take the chance of missing a call right now

Edit: I can make calls fine, but after the call ends, the phone process crashes. When I get a call, the phone wouldn't stop ringing until I rebooted my phone. Nothing could fix it in my case
Back in eclipse ICS for now.
I've installed it twice and it ran fine both times. That is until I rebooted. At that point it continually says com.android.phone has stopped repeatedly. Can't do anything but pull battery and switch to a different ROM.
Same issues with receiving calls.
Funny when it went ape sht on me in Kohls, my case was a PITA to pull off to remove the battery. Oh the disapproving eyes of the old ladies,when SYL "You suck" kept going and going. Lmao

confirmed that phone locks for incoming calls - other than that everything seems great! camerazoom worked for both pictures and video on latest build!! Didn't run rom long enough to test stability, battery life, and other things but all seems good. hopefully the phone issue will be fixed soon and this rom will ROCK!!
Has anyone had success with the 12-17-2012 build? I installed it fresh into a new slot1, but it looped infinitely at the CM boot animation for me.
new load
When will the next release be that is a little more stable for the phone process....
OP Updated with new build.
CHANGES:
[01/16]Bluetooth device starts/stops correctly (audio issues still)
Keep phone on vibrate to avoid the incoming call bug (for now)
I had this for almost 24 hours and so far I love it. Just one thing that bugs me. It's the theme of the contacts, dialer, and messaging app. Why is white? When I was playing with the demo phone at best buy them 3 apps had a nice dark theme to them. I get home root the phone set it up and go to check out the contacts list I'm like wtf is this. Why Samsung why did you change the theme on them apps at gives us the option to pick dark or light. Well let's some of your complaints. A new phone is not complete without complaints.
I love the 90s. Good times.
You can change the text messaging app theme too dark. It's in the settings within that app. It would be nice to also change the contacts app, but I don't believe you can.

See when I was at best buy yesterday playing with the demo phone. The contacts and dialer was dark. I think sprint may have changed the theme I could be wrong. I noticed when I first turned on the phone it had the Samsung default boot up animation. Than the phone did a software update than rebooted with the sprint boot up. So maybe that could of changed the them. That I don't know. But I really don't care for the light theme
I love the 90s. Good times.
I hate that text flow is missing from the browser and that the buddy pages that were part of the Note 2 are missing from the S4. It is funny how you would think some standard features would follow through to the next versions of flagship devices.
I also think there is a bug in the stock email client on how many spam mails you can flag. This is annoying as well.

Yeah I noticed that too... Lets try to keep this thread going maybe some of the developers will see these issues and address once they are ready to start cooking up some roms and mods
I'm coming from the EVO 4G running MikRom, so some of my gripes may be common differences between HTC and Samsung, or they may be things I got used to by running a custom ROM. Speaking of cutom ROMs, I know some of these issues will be resolved w/ a custom ROM.
Regardless, this is what I got so far...
- Inability to sort bookmarks by A-Z order in stock browser
- Hate that if you have the volume button programmed to take picture, there's no other way to activate the zoom function
- Not wild about how the clipboard (copy/cut/paste) menu works
- Wish I could disable the shutter sound on the camera
That's it for now...
The bottom half of my screen is pink, I will be attempting an exchange tonight
I wish the volume was a little louder. On the s3 I ran freegs3 rom by clark44 great mods especially the sound boost mod he included with aroma installer. I was spoiled by the loud speaker. Where the hell is the Galaxy suite in this phone? This phone could definitely use a mean update.

Haven't had much time to actually use the phone yet but here are two that I know of.
1. Pinch to zoom
2. If you are rooted navigate to /system/csc. Edit feature.xml. Set shuttersoundmenu to true and reboot. You will now see an option to turn it on and off from settings. You can do a lot with that file like enable camera while in a call.

I am not happy with the video playback on this phone. When the movie is dark, the screen gets pixelated and the video looks terrible. Only happens when there is a lot of black in the video.
EDIT - I have quickly found the fix to that issue. I had to go to display options on the phone and set the screen mode to Movie.

I love the 90s. Good times.
Just 2 on my end. Other than these, I couldn't be much happier.
1: The wifi problems I'm having where it drops the connection, then re-connects every minute or two. Sometimes it doesn't actually drop it, but it won't pass data through. Does it at home and at work, so I'm fairly sure it's phone related. If it keeps up, I may be exchanging it.
2: It doesn't send my contacts to the bluetooth system in my car. This one is pretty minor, so as long as it gets fixed at some point in the future, I'll be ok with it.

I had that the first day I had my phone but only happened when updating one app, the rest updated fine and quickly. After a few hours went again and updated as fast as it should have first.
The svdo capability was only available in the s4 krait chip set. Snapdragon600 doesn't support 3g data while on a call. You do have svLTE, though.

Samsung didn't do that.....Qualcomm did.
Hello Boys and Girls,
Everyone at XDA loves AOSP based projects. However AOSP is designed only for the Nexus devices. For most other devices, a significant ammount of extra code needs to be added for them to run properly. For Qualcomm devices, most of this extra code is supplied by the Code Aurora Forums. Here you can find a variant of AOSP that is not only designed specifically for Qualcomm based devices, but it also includes various tricks and enhancements.
So today I'm introducing a little project I've been cooking up for myself, which might also be interesting for other Xperia SP users.
It's called recaf - adding the CAF optimizations back into your AOSP rom.
This is now based on Android 4.4 KitKat. On the surface, it looks almost exactly like pure AOSP as provided by Google. You wouldn't know just by looking at it, but under the surface there are lots of changes to dalvik, the frameworks and the hardware drivers to massively improve battery life.
However, pure AOSP sometimes feels a little bit featureless compared to advanced roms such as CyanogenMod, so I have included a few basic tweaks that I feel make life easier when using an AOSP-like rom:
CyanogenMod camera app - because AOSP camera app is rubbish
CyanogenMod cLock widget - because it's actually pretty nice
Integrated Superuser - it's right there in the settings menu!
exFAT and NTFS - needed for larger SDCards
Multicoloured notification lights - AOSP gives us white lights only
Quick settings - easily accessible by swiping down the right side of the status bar
Advanced reboot - Always available in the power menu
ADB and SU security - root access is disabled by default
So without further delay, here is your download link:
recaf-4.K1-20131212-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131207-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131202-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131129-huashan.zip
recaf-4.K1-20131127-huashan.zip
I assume you will also want to install GAPPS, the version I recommend is the FULL version created by the Paranoid Android team from THIS THREAD.
For your first install you will need to flash the boot.img from inside the zip - SELinux changes for Android 4.4 will cause the zip to fail on other recoveries.
If you want to chat about recaf, join the Freenode IRC chat room #recaf.

Known Major Bugs
Location services are currently broken for certain apps. fixed in 4.K1.
GSM data sometimes (very rarely) randomly disconnects until reboot - I need help to determine what causes this. If you can reliably reproduce this, let me know.
Android RunTime (ART) will fail at boot time fixed.
Known Minor Bugs
WiFi does not connect to WPA secured networks. WPA2 security works as expected.
For Superuser to work you need to change ADB access to apps and adb (in developer settings)
Language does not change in some parts of Android, most notably the Settings app. Most other apps work fine and I didn't touch the language code, so this is a CAF bug I will need to fix.
Custom notification colours for missed calls and voice mail don't work
LED on charging sometimes gets stuck when disconnected until reboot.
These are features, not bugs
Facebook sync cannot be activated.

I created a poll about Quick Settings (discuss it there)

One question though, did you manage to fix the "Phone" app battery drain issue?
Ahh yes the setup wizard will crash due to the above bug. You can skip it by pressing the four corners of the screen, start top left then go clockwise.

@adfad666 thank you so much for sharing this rom! I have decided to switch to this one as my daily driver, pure stock 4.3 jellybean just the way i like it battery life is significantly better than cm10.2 and lag is non existent. Looking forward to future updates/bug fixes and of course AOSP kitkat roms!
Bug report: The notification light doesnt seem to work when charging via usb but works for notifications. Also, even though ive changed the notification lights to custom color values it still blinks white
ive attached a logcat below hope it helps.
Going to test this out as I'm currently running PAC and my battery ran out in 6 hours with 1 hour tops screen time. Hope this is better like the previous comment stated. Will post a small review afterwards.
Ok first off: battery life seems to be A LOT better than CM10.2/PAC.
Doesn't have SU installed by default, so I had to flash it.
Seems to be smoother than PAC. Might be placebo effect though.
1 question as well. Is there a way to enable facebook sync? I did it on CM10.* with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064859, but the CM10.2 apk doesn't work with AOSP

Super user is for sure installed, but I think you need to enable developer settings for it to work. It's the exact same code as for CyanogenMod ( I didn't even fork it I just link to their projects) and I think super user is hidden and disabled there until developer mode is enabled. I'll add the code like CM has to hide it unless developer mode is enabled.

undoubtedly the best work so far
the ram and the battery is what most pleased in this rom
but heating in many aspect
I did return to the stock expecting some solution
or next actulizacion
SuperUser is working fine for me .
-I've some force closes in Drive app; but i disabled this app so the force closes are gone.
-I suffer a reboot when i start the camera for first time -> The screen turns purple and like "melted" and after that turns off. And later turns on again (reboot). Note: i've this bug in CM10.1 and CM10.2 when i was playing HD videos.

How to update firmware on my phone?
【Release Note】
1. Enable IN Airtel/Idea/Vodafone & ID smarfren & TH DTAC/AIS/True 3rd & RU Megafon/MTS VoLTE & RU MTS VoWifi
2. Optimize fingerprint unlock speed.
3. Improve Camera performance.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please download and give review about camera and finger print scanner.
PS : Reminding me of my first Motorola Moto G (1st gen) 's frequently updates ( Lenovo killed it though)
Fingerprint scanner is faster now.
Camera slightly better .. especially front camera.
Device is HD capable notification removed with VoLTE icon added in status bar.
New setting under Display named Smart Screen which will prevent screen timeout if you are looking at the screen.
Battery seems to be even better but it's too early to tell.
Face unlock improved slightly.
Yeah the device now supports Airtel Idea and Vodafone VoLTE.
Camera (Especially Front Cam) has improved a lot since last update.
Added VoLTE icon instead of previous 'HD' icon.
Fingerprint sensor is also working more fluidly and efficiently.
Face Unlock is also better than before but still needs a bit fixing maybe with future updates it'll become more secure and efficient.
Attaching a screenshot for those who complained about the Device not supporting Airtel Volte!
We can even alter the temperature of screen within display settings.
Fingerprint and face unlock has surely improved alot.
Camera has now better accuracy in portraits.
But still no support for live wallpapers.
Even, no improvement in audio through wired or bluetooth earphones.
This update removed MusicFX (system equalizer)?
For some reason my MusicFX is gone after this update. Screenshot attached, every music player i have (PowerAmp, Retro Music, Play Music) can't find the system equalizer. How do you report this (and other possible bugs) to Asus anyway?
And yes, fingerprint got better.
pls provide latest xxxxxx309 ota update zip file for
ZB601KL
The multi touch issue still hasn't been fixed. I thought it will be fixed with the May Security patch. Can anyone else check the same?

Hell Yeah No Equalizer in Play Music! Earlier it had Equalizer settings and although i didn't have any issues regarding the audio quality (I have used K3 Note which has Dolby Atmos) still I changed Equalizer Setting to get more Bass! But Now no Equalizer! No MusicFX. Is there any way to Give Feedback about this to Asus.
**Update** I've found some articles(From BGR) on Google regarding installation of Snapdragon Music App and MusicFX. Originally they were posted for OnePlus 5 but now it shows that the apps can be installed on any Snapdragon Device without Root. So can anyone check whether I should install it or not? will it cause any trouble to my phone afterwards? Please Reply!!!

Yes .. Asus has atleast communicated to reviewers that it will provide bi-monthly security updates.
The updates are minor changes and not major upgrades like MIUI8 to MIUI9 or Nougat to Oreo .. so safe to assume that it will get security patches atleast.

Check the Screenshots.
Temporary fix for missing MusicFX after update

Thanks a lot! So i tested it right away, and it works, at least the MusicFX came back and worked without the need to manually push it to system. Once you installed it, you'll be presented with 2 options when you go to the EQ screen, to use Snapdragon Audio+ or just MusicFX (look at my screenshot). Use whichever you want, it will open the same EQ screen with same setting.
I used the XDA link, there you have the option to download 2, APKs: MusicFX.apk, and SnapdragonMusic.apk. The Snapdragon Music didn't work, however. It forces closes. Don't really matter tho.

You're Welcome! Hey but one thing I've noticed is that my device doesn't show any option for Snapdragon Audio+. Mine just shows Equaliser and MusicFX while choosing Equalizer settings in Play Music.

It is enabled in settings but still not working, after the new update..

Try this ..
Go to ZenMotion settings ( System - Gesture -ZenMotion )
Disable it with the Toggle on the top & enable it again.
Disable double-tap-to-wake and enable it again.
See if it is fixed.

will not work.. you will have to flash the 247 fastboot ROM first and then update using the 309 ROM. Remember that with fastboot 247 ROM the bootloader will get locked again (you can edit the flashall.bat file to remove the commands for locking the bootloader). Unfortunately the fastboot method will reset your phone.
