Develop Bugs

All CM7 & CM9 Discussion

Since everyone is going crazy about not talking about it, I decided to create this thread to keep all discussion non-development related here for both Cyanogenmod 7 and Cyanogenmod 9. Keep in mind this is for discussion and should not be used to post this and that isn't working. Thanks!

Flasing method as on NanoSurfers thread
Wipe data
Wipe cache

All other problem from older builds are still present.
Data connection appears but no app can be connected
calling and messaging working fine with some Forceclose of messaging app

Atleast they have fixed the color swap bug, and soon other bug will be fixed.. let's hope for the best. What kernel did whitexp put on his latest release? Haven't tried it yet. :victory:

it is his kernel you can take a look at dev section

[Q] SPH-D710 on CM11.0 - problems with camera, slow menu navigation

Unfortunately I don't have rights to ask on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540250 ([ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 - VILLUMINATI - December 7, 2013) so I'm creating new thread here.
Yes, I did my best to search the question, but cannot find anything related.
I used CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 so I know what I'm talking about. I did NOT have the issues in these ROMs.
Current CM11.0 ROM dated by Dec. 7, 2013
Yesterday I've tried CM11.0 and found some issue which I cannot find mentioned anywhere.
1. Camera:
When I try to record video with [HD 720p|HD 1080p] resolution the picture is freezing after start of the recording and camera hangs.
I have to reboot my smartphone to get the camera (photo or video) working again.
I CAN successfully record video only with SD 480p resolution.
2. Slow Settings menu navigation (if compare with CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2).
Scroll is a bit slower, it's not critical.
Entering to a menu (for example About phone) is a bit slower - not critical but I don't like it.
Exiting from a menu (for example About phone) is MUCH slower - it's critical and very annoying.
Any idea ?
Did anyone have these issues ?
Currently I've downgraded back to CM10.2 (Andriod 4.3.1) where everything is fine.

(My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas.)​

What are the requirements ? I guess I should use the only recovery available for the device ? and also, since we don't have s-off working for this device I think we have to flash the boot.img right ?

I'd recommend using the recovery from this build for the job. It won't crash unlike the philz version.
And no, you don't need to flash boot seperately. The only requirement is an unlocked bootloader.
S-ON only protects hboot and radio from flashing so you can safely install this release from the recovery.
Don't forget to backup your current system.

I'm downloading the files now, will test and report ASAP

Can i promote this in 2 german Forums? ist German translation available?
when do you think you will fix wifi?
HUGE THANKS IN FORWARD FOR COMPILING CM!

After the experiment:
the Rom stable and fast, but Wi-Fi does not work and do not contain FM radio
Front camera not working
I wish you success in your work and I hope you update the version of Android to be higher than 4.1.2
Thank you very much ..

In which way will PhilZ CWM crash? will it still install the rom or not? will it brick my phone?

Ah yes FM. It's included in the custom libaudio that can't connect to the speaker.
Which I currently simply replace with the stock lib to make it work as a phone so it can be used to test battery consuption etc.
Sadly the cm apps used for fm won't compile for me. So even if I get libaudio working FM would still be untestable without non cm apps.
I'll add it to the todo once the libaudio trouble is resolved.
The wifi is an annoying issue. I manged to get it to load the drivers so the p2p0 socket gets created.
But it tries to restart it as STA which if my google fu is correct it shouldn't do, since this firmware does not need restarting.
The front camera is a curious bug. It works absoluetly fine for me until I point it towards my face.
So it's either a problem with the proximity sensor or the nasty htc camera tries some facial recognition crap and dies.
If I ever decide to logcat the camera I can tell you more.
Now for a higher version, don't get your hopes up. At least not from my side.
First I'll try my best to fix this up. Then I'll wait for htc to release the kernel so I can get a closer look at the configuration
for this device and maybe adjust it to make this rom even better. Then again the last kernel I compiled was 10 years ago for a gentoo install.

If you are quick it will install fine. So if you prefer to live dangereously, don't let me stop you
I don't know if it is only an error that is presented on my device. Or maybe it was updated since then.
But for me philz recovery by SPSPawn does boot into a dead state. If you reboot it will crash until a panic reset is triggered.
Actually it is allready crashed while you are in recovery. Therefore you are on a timer until the device resets or you decide to
take out the battery.
I had the same problem on my build and it was caused by cwm always ignoring the ueventd.rc I had prepared because I didn't know
I had to copy it to root and not to recovery.
I've never bothered to figure out which missing element of this script was responsible because I had to substitute it in any case.
But honestly, tell me. Why do you prefer philz? I'm allready (so far unsuccessfully) trying to port twrp. If you have a few good arguments
I might be willing to try compiling a fixed version of philz aswell.

Well i didnt want to use a pc right now ... A TWRP port would be amazing
Is mobile data working?
Can you make your recovery flashable via cwm?

It always tried to download the google language pack for my region until I aborted it. So, yes mobile data should be available.
You mean put the recovery into an update zip thingy, right. Well I could, but you will have used a pc before I'll find the time to upload it.
I'll keep it in consideration for the next update.

Well, atleast internet
When do you think you'll fix wifi?

Regarding to wifi, it will be fixed once it's fixed. Or if you prefer the usual response: When it's done.
This will happen either after or before libaudio is fixed. And that's about as specific as I can get.

Well, it was worth a try still thanks for your effort!

Okay, here goes.
First I tried installing the ROM with the PhilZ recovery because I already had it on my phone, didn't work. Gave me some kind of error (not sure about the error code anymore). Flashed your recovery, worked flawlessly. Now for the ROM.
It's pretty stable, I've had only one strange crash and that was in the first 2 minutes of using it so I don't even know if it counts. The additional CM settings panel works fine, quick toggles are ok, I haven't tried overclocking yet - I'll leave that to someone else. But I have found some bugs:
-proximity sensor not working (screen doesn't go black when you place it up to your ear)
-ambient light sensor not working (auto brightness doesn't work)
-video recording doesn't work
-the camera app glitched up the first time I tried to zoom (was fine afterwards)
-sometimes when going from portrait to landscape I got 1 second of weird graphical glitches
-signal indicator seems to be stuck at 2 out of 4 bars and doesn't move
Overall very nice, keep up the good work!

I guess wifi isnt working for you right?

It's not working, but I didn't put it on the list since he already knows it's bugged.

Well, i'll try today
Lets see what happens

Anyway, forgot to unpack the file ... GApps come with it?
SOOO, booting went fine, working like a charm... quicksettings page not available, quicksettings bar is working properly
Mobile Data works flawless, and i guess the rest is just fine
German language worked instantly
it feels way faster then Sense, a HUGE Thanks for you, makes me actually like that phone again ...
I'd like to promote it in German forums if i WiFi is fixed in near future

No, you have to get gapps on your own. Since there are multiple options you can choose for yourself. But if you did not format system,
as I've mentioned in the install instructions, chances are high that google apps did get picked up by the install script.
I am not sure if it can take them from the stock rom but it can and will take them from a cm rom and keep them on reinstall.
(I am really not very pleased by this behavior!)
I also should have mentioned that the primary language is decided by the simcard. (Which is annoying since I prefer english in any case)
Randnotiz:
Es freut mich das ich Dir den Spass am Gerät zurückgeben konnte.
Natürlich darfst Du es in deutschen Foren weiterverbreiten sobald die gröbsten Fehler behoben sind.
Einzige Vorraussetzung ist, daß Du es nicht als Deine Arbeit ausgibst.

Wow. That's much more broken than I expected it to be. Kudos.
Regarding the sensors. I currently am using the stock lib. And logcat let's me assume that they are working as they should.
(i.e they don't crash or drift into madness afaik)
Maybe the stock lib doesn't play well with cm, or you are expecting features from cm that are not implemented.
I will definetly try to compile a working sensor lib in the future, so I guess we'll see....
Camera is also just the stock lib for now. So it's no surprise that somethings might be acting up.
I need a lot of research into that subject before I can specify the requirements for the camera in my boardconfig.
The graphical glitches are rather minor and can be ignored for now. I am aware they exist.
But for now I'd rather focus on the more prominent broken features.
Like wireless for those of us that can't or won't use mobile data. (I belong to the 2nd group)
I noticed the signal indicator aswell. but that should be a problem of the radio compatibility.
We can't flash radio and I'm using the stock libril as the radio interface which should give maximum compatibility in theory.
Of course it doesn't irl... typical -_- (I hate you, Murphy!)

Weird CM 11 and CM 11 based ROMS issue with calling

Hi fellow forum members!
I recently found great ROMS at Kevin's web storage. I tried them all and they work amazingly well except for one thing. When I make a call for a first time after a clean boot everything is fine. But when I make another call I can not hear anything nor the person I'm calling. After a reboot I have one shot again. Each time I want to call I need to reboot my phone. It only happens on CM 11 based GPROJ ROMS. Anyone encoutered this issue before? Any suggesting? Solutions?
Thanks, Zunex

Alright, so after chatting with a CM maintainer we've been able to narrow it down to an upstream CM issue along with the phone not going into deep sleep. So, point is, no matter how many of our commits I revert it still won't fix the problem until CM fixes it on their end. I'm told it shouldn't take too long and will keep an eye on CM gerrit to see when an update is pushed into their code to fix these issues. So its not just PAC it's an LGOG gproj that sync'd to CM after 10/4.
Until the issue is resolved you can use the nightly 10/4 as it doesn't have the dialer or deep sleep issues and I will update when I hear more.

Same problem here on PAC-man ROM

I am facing the same issue with 10/13 nightly build. Its so frustrating to miss out so many important calls due to this call issue. They pulled back their 10/16 and 10/17 nightly build citing some major issue with the builds. Expecting a build asap with fixed call issue.

I had same problem. I was going back to CM snapshot-M11. This doesn't have call problem.

Is it fixed yet? Any news on this?

Updated today to cm-11-20141025-NIGHTLY-e975 but the calls bug is still there...
So, what should we do to solve this?

Thanks for the heads up. I don't know. I really don't wanna go back to stock because of dsp manager but this bug forces me to. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Reading This I found the solution to audio-caf problem. The solution is replace in system/lib/hw the library audio.primary.msm8960.so for a working one, I used the library from official M11 and now everything is OK. Attached is the library I used.

I installed the stock rom after this issus. I think the stock rom has a good battery life.

Thanks cabe2001.
Does anyone have the skills to create a flashable zip that overwrites audio.primary.msm8960.so with a working version?
Is it as simple as deleting everything from a standard CM zip?

List of roms with "Novatek NT36672" touch screen module support so far.

UPDATE: There is a telegram group with latest nightly builds of genom kernel, they are mostly stable, there may be a couple of ussues with some of them (like phantom touches or random battery inefficiency), however you can find kernels that support our touch panel in android pie, and oreo roms, and they run butter smooth compared to stock rom, (thank you rama982 and all contrubutors to Genom kernel). Just download a kernel build you like, and then flash it after the installation of rom. genom_ci
It has been an issue for a long time, since Xiaomi refuses to release kernel sources for this module (or so i been told), anyways, many people encouter the issue with touch screen that doesn't work after flashing custom rom (screen flickering, response lag e.t.c). This issue was brought up in this thread, however there is no answer to a question that excites most of "novatek" owners that are here - "what can i actually install of all roms". I decided to make a list of roms that happened to avoid this issue, i hope this will help users like me, so they don't have to spend literally weeks stalking, testing, looking around at all sorts of places only to find another rom that doesn't work.
1. This is the easiest one, all MIUI roms that are available for our device are working flawlessly, official global roms, custom ones, they all work (i personally prefer Revolution OS MIUI 8.10, since it has an option for the chinese bloatware and spyware to be removed, and i find it the fastest one).
2. Almost all nougat roms ( the ones that are based on android 7.1, (and maybe 7) ). Or at least 95% of them, i had issues with some of them, but it's okay that some roms are less stable than the others, you will have to find what works best for you.
3. As far as i remember, all roms based on android 8, 8.1 DO NOT work with our touch screen, except the ones that were mentioned here.
4. Who wan'ts a piece of a pie? I think everyone, but not all of us can get it, since there is only a couple of pie roms that work with our panels:
Aosp extended 6.0 (only 28/10/2018 release so far, developers told that they will fix it but they didn't so far, this release is pretty stable and snappy though).
Dirty Unicorns 13.0
(I really like the esthetics of this rom, and a philosophy that stands behind it, but release is missing some important features for me personally.)
lineage-16.0-20181115 (As stable as aosp extended, or even more. Perfect rom for a new user that doesn't care about a lot of features, and just wants to do basic stuff without any bugs and crushes) (IMO)
GZOSP from Here, it's even more simple compared to lineage, but a a bit less stable.
Thanks to rama982 we have Nitrogen Os, it works fine, things are strating to change. (Live a like to Rama982).
This list is potentially suitable for EBBG touch panel users, but as i have no device on hands to test it, i can't say anything about it. If you are wondering wich type of touch screen you have, you can dowload AIDA from play store, or any other "sysinfo" type of app.
That's all. I hope this will help you, it's the smallest thing i can do, as i love the community of this place even more than my morning coffee.
P.S. If i missed something, you can comment down below, or send a private message, we all make mistakes.

Try LOS16, Havoc, or Bootleggers - or try the latest Genom kernels.

I tried out AEX 10-28 for a couple of days. i went back to xiaomi eu beta for full screen navigation. i also opted for genom eas nightly for miui. i think i'll stick with this setup for a while.

In case anyone is interested, nitrogen os is working great on my ebbg display

i've tried pixel experience like @jharone23 said and it's working fine. i also installed genom nightly and it runs smooth. i think they worked out most of the kinks for novatek panel. i haven't tried the 12-31 build of the rom yet. gcam v5 works great. i also installed gcam v6 for better back cam low light and i'm satisfied so far. no problems with gps and lte. no network drops on wifi and data. i have mine rooted and installed kernel aduitor, also installed blex and youtube vanced from magisk repo. google backup works like a charm. played ro mobile for 4 hours straight on wifi. everything is great. note for benchmarkers, you would get lesser score in antutu compared to xiaomi eu rom with genom. i used to get 84k score with that setup but with p.e. and genom i only get 80k with performance setting in kernel aduitor. overall a 4/5 stars for user experience just because i was accustomed to full screen navigation in mi eu rom. A 5/5 stars in stability kudos to p.e. developers and genom. i won't be flashing any other rom for quite sometime as my current setup is stable enough as daily driver. maybe t.s. could include rom in the list. thanks jharone23 for the tip.
