Rock on. BTW, Now that you're part of the official CM crew, any chance you could pick some brains about our HWoverlay issue? I'm hitting a brick wall with trying to fix it.

Yeah I'll check into that.

Being using last 3 days latest Neph81 cm-11-20140130unofficial rom with Gapps-kk-20131208 and it is very smooth and fast and only experienced 2/3 reboots mainly when using Netflix 2.4 version ( which does work with Spectrum and this Rom) which has caused 2 reboots so far . I found that I can "activate " Google Now hands free, by saying ...ok Google..from any of my 6 screens and get phone to play music , text, navigate ,open apps, emails, set alarms ,make phone calls very easily . Also the battery will use almost no juice at all while not in use but turned on.Using Google Now does use a significant battery juice . Overall I found that the battery life has increased by about 15 % to 20% . Also the Kitkat Wallpapers are beautiful..I use the yellow one . I tried the cm -11-20140202-Nightly from Cyanogen and it has caught up with Neph81 cm11 but its a little on the sluggish side .Really a great job , thank you so much.

I pushed the Neph's asec fix.

Also got a new CWM built. It's on rommanager now, version 6.0.4.7. Please let me know if it works properly -- it seems to be okay from what I can tell.

I'll try to squeeze iproj into CM11 M3 but the cutoff is Friday so no promises.

Just flashed CWM Touch 6.0.4.7. Was able to format /system and /cache, wipe davlik, flash 0130 unofficial, pagapps stock 0201, and pa google dialer addon. Looks good all around so far.

Reminder to all... if you have the google dialer addon installed and you wipe /data, expect to have to wipe /system as well and reflash rom + gapps, boot, setup, then flash dialer. They mean it when they say not to install that addon on a clean system. I didn't suffer through that this time, but I did *once* before.

So I got a full logcat going on the device. I attached two text files. One is the full verbose version with everything you wanted. The second one is the error log only. I found out that upon looking at the error log there is null exception within the graphics hardware from what I gather as the adreno200 is the graphics processor of the device. So maybe it could be related to the hardware overlay issue?... :thinking:

Just out of curiosity also, how did you set Google now to activate hands free from the home screen? I tried that with mine and it won't do that. I am on the same build. Just thought it would be cool to be able to do google now hands free.

koki7710 · Feb 6, 2014

In Neph81 latest build cm-11-20140130unofficial with Gapps-kk-20131208 only comes with one Launcher ( it looks like a blue home icon ) after updating Google search to latest it self install as a whole screen like a full page Widget ,and also installs a status bar in all my 5 screens that says ...ok Google ...if you see any screen like that then you can activate Google Now hands free by saying out loud every time..."Ok..Google.." . Some builds come with two choices of launchers , you gotta choose as "always" the little blue home icon that represents the Launcher (4.00kb in pics ) that gives you hands free Google now .

https://github.com/Neph81/cm-kernel_lge_iproj/commit/adb28c069e6bf82206e4d89bf7917ff3355b695c

Progress, but not a full fix. Instead of thinking the FB should be in RGB_565, it properly thinks of it as RGBA_8888. Once I fix the orientation/screen draw size, this should be finally fixed.

The good:
https://github.com/Neph81/cm-kernel_lge_iproj/commit/b97448a5f3d85fdc08a1bf4b18cfc49ccdf2f217

This commit fixes the annoying LG logo being everywhere when you have a blank screen.

The Bad:
This means I need to stop putting bandages in place and figure out what mfd->index == 0 is and how to fix it. There are other things in the kernel that all depend on this or a variation of this, so hopefully fixing this will fix all the other issues.

MFD is supposed to be multifunction device drivers. What that's *probably* supposed to be doing is checking to see if there are any drivers initialized (ie: during boot) and show the LG screen while that's happening. As far as a little searching has done, it looks like MFD as being called like that is either a list or a database reference, as values get pulled from it. Perhaps that reference has changed, or the index cannot be pulled like that anymore.

For the hack you're doing there, you could have just redid you kernel config and disabled "CONFIG_LGE_I_DISP_BOOTLOGO" which would make it ignore that entire block. Though, that would cause some other things to go wonky (backlight on boot and such).

Unfortunately, Im at work and our browsers don't play well with Github so Im having a tough time trying to dig through and find anything useful.

tdm · Feb 12, 2014

Also I hear the camcorder is laggy. I'm making good progress on other things so I'll try to take a look this week.

domsdabomb · Feb 12, 2014

I didn't see link in OP for Gapps for rom, I didn't see it in the usual spot on goo.im. Someone link for me?

This is the CM page:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

Other ROMs have their own packaging but I think they are all pretty much the same.

Don't know why goo doesn't have them listed.

domsdabomb · Feb 12, 2014

Thanks

domsdabomb · Feb 12, 2014

Followup question. Do I need to activate the device on a stock rom, or will it activate on on this rom?

BlasterMaster5 · Feb 19, 2014

Is this project using the V9 baseband?

aaronp121 · Feb 19, 2014

This ROM does not install baseband. You can update V9 baseband on stock ROM 4.0.4 (original system when you received new phone). If you installed custom ROM and changed recovery in phone still you can updade with seperate zip file (not here in this topic).

Drockadroid · Feb 20, 2014

Kinda new here but I wanted to help out by providing logs, are you guys using any specific log apps to upload or copy here into the forum?

We're not really looking for specific logs atm, unless you find something wrong that hasn't already been discovered. Right now, TDM is attempting to fix an issue with mfd, in the kernel, that is causing the overlay issues.

Neph81 · Feb 20, 2014

Minor Update:
http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/cm11/cm-11-20140220-UNOFFICIAL-vs920.zip

File is uploaded. Not much was fixed, but I did repo sync with CM again, so this should be everything that CM has updated in the last few weeks. One thing I did notice is that the 4G icon is now LTE. Still trying to find out what else has changed.

smashmash · Feb 20, 2014

just wondering can I install this? I just rooted my phone for the first time and I never done any of this before but I'd like to use 4.4 if its ready.
thanks
Marshall

p930 users are reporting increased crashing since about 2/14 or so. Anyone here notice that? If so you may need a new system property: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59877/

Please let me know so that I can submit that for iproj if it's needed.

From the looks of it, Steve K. pushed it to auto enable it on Qcom chips as of 2/18. I've yet to see any issues from it, but I also build off the stable/CM11 branch.

Thanks I didn't see that commit. But this doesn't change anything for iproj ... the default, both before and after, is enabled.
