[Q] Test app under cyanogen - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe this should be a dummy question, sorry
I'm going to install cyanogenmod on my devices, and i use it for test and run some apps i wrote (all wrote and tested under stock device).
Can i find some problems if i run it under cyanogenmod?
And if i change kernel, something could change?
thanks.

if you change kernels, everything could change(or nothing could change). and you could have problems with cm where you dont get problems with another rom. the possibility exists.

Ok. But if i change only rom (no kernel), apps developped for the stock rom, will run under cyanogen ?

most will no problem. if you do run into issues, youll have to figure them out. cm and stock do differ enough.

so, if i want write apps to put on play store, i need to work under stock?

its better for a larger audience since more people use stock than cm.

you can do it yourself with any rom, just run total Commander then type extended rom, will opened then install the known cabs.
because many of extened roms contain fix cabs for its origional rom, you can't install all because these fix cabs will cause some issues with your new rom.

i don't think there a custom rom enable extened rom running because they don't want to install other roms extened rom.
so, you have to do it yourself.

camera would be a gapps issue. if it was only one rom giving him trouble, then the rom would be the issue. but since he says all roms are giving him camcorder issues, then its a user space issue. he needs to try different gapps. im running a custom rom, rastakat, and the camcorder is working fine here.
I have tried Cataclysm, Kangkat, and Omni All the 4.4.1 Versions Using the PA Gapps, I was going to use the new 4.4.1 Gapps by Banks. I am not sure what ones to download. I see so many on the list, Core, Standard, Face Unlock and more. Any Advice would be awesome.

user space is referring to it not being a problem within the rom but in the area that the user has access too(user space). use the standard 4.4.1 gapps by banks.
well the new gapps fixed it.

Help, Unable to flash kernel

Hi,
I have a issue that im not used to... i recently got a Nexus 5, and first thing i did was to unlock, root and install aokp rom(nightly)
Then i wanted to install Franco Kernel, using Francos own app to try flash... the device reboots, and are stuck on the google logo.
Have no other choice to enter fastboot mode, and reflash rom(to have it overwrite the kernel), and it starts up again.
Then tried to download kernel zip and flash it in TWRP instead, but with the same result. Also tried changeing to CWM but it doesnt work with encrypted devices.
I have always used AOKP + Franco Kernel on my older devices, but now it seems impossible.
I dont know why it doesnt work, but i have some ideas, and hope someone can put me in the right direction.
1. My device is encrypted and that makes it fail.
2. AOKP lastest nightly rom is not compatible with Franco Kernel or vice versa.
3. Something is broken...
Regards
Ranarn
aokp is cm based(CAF) i believe, which would make it incompatible with any aosp kernels.

Ah that makes sense, but i guess something have changed then, since i have AOKP + Franco running on 2 older devices.

yea, just last week cm source went back to CAF.
I know chaos kernel is CAF supported, I would give that a shot. I am still running 9.1 and it works the way I want it to for me (before they went CAF).

[Q] Anyone succeed with GPS with custom rom

Hi all,
Did anyone able to use gps with custom rom ( I would say CM base). I research and try everything that's I could find here but not success.
Every time I do clean wipe everything including a internal storage. So that will nothing left behind.
I know that stock is work fine with gps. some said that install and replace stock but I have no idea that what file will left in our device when we delete all.
Always had the same problem when running Paranoid Android (not tried other ROMs). Had to return to stock, where GPS runs fine. Would also love to kknow how people have got it functioning.
I am trying too. I modified gps.conf files, tried some workarounds mentioned in cm11 thread like restoring GPS Status backup from stock with titanium so far with no success. Some people say that it works but it doesn't on mine whatever I do.
I run on CM and I don't have any problem. Everything works fine with gps and I didn't use any fix or something similar.
I'm on CM 11-20140627 and I have 1032 phone.
Interesting, why does it work on some while it doesn't on others? Maybe some variants are having problems...
I have xt1033 asia version.

Which recovery did you use?
CWM
As I wonder is about library missing or some partition need from stock ?
I've also been using the micro gapps package, would this matter?
I had problems with Paranoid Android and GPS too... If anyone know something about that, please comment!

I am having he same problem on XT1032 running Carbon ROM. GPS worked fine on stock, no signal with Carbon.
I found many answers saying to flash stock and then reflash custom ROM. I will try it, but I wonder, how does this help? Isn't the phone restoring the whole system? Do I have to keep the gps.conf from stock?
I've read in some CM thread on here you need to flash stock ROM then enable GPS and get a lock. Once you've done that then flash your custom rom. Sounds STUPID and dosent make sense I know, but a lot of people say this is how they got it to work.
EDIT: I can confirm. I've just flashed stock 4.4.4 and played around with google maps. Flashed CM11 nightly and my GPS is now working ok

Did you wipe anything, like Dalvik, Cache and Data, or you just flashed it over?

Sorry people, I was so happy to have my phone back working, I forgot to write it back here.
Yes it worked indeed, all I did was flashing back the stock, going outside to have a gps lock with gmaps, then re-flashing back the Carbon. I also kept a copy of the gps.conf, but I never needed it, the GPS got a fix quickly. Working fine so far, it only takes some tens of seconds to fix, from time to time.
I can't remember if I also did all the wiping, I think I didn't, but I made so many trials in a couple days, I am not sure.
Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, this worked for me too on PA.
I couldn't even see a single sat (it wasn't just a lock problem). No matter with gps patch, gpx fix app, or gps.conf I used.
What I did?: Back to stock, lock GPS, flash again the custom ROM (but don't wipe /system!).
Good luck on that guys, it should work for you too.

GPS works fine on this unofficial CM11 rom for me. Stable daily driver rom for me, YMMV.
General advice is to:
- make sure you get a GPS lock on stock rom first
- flash CM11 (or other custom rom)
There may not be a file left on the device. it may just be that stock contains the code to initialize the GPS functionality on the SoC or chipset firmware. Whatever, it works...

custom rom and kernals, should one install them?

I recently ordered the OPO and I was wondering if there was any point to installing a rom and a kernal.
Are there any important/good/large beneficial features and stuff to installing them?
Is it recommended to install one?
I'm just trying to decide whether or not to install rom/kernal before I get the phone so when I get it, I can work on it right away.

The phone works great out of the box, although it has some bugs.
So you install custom ROMs and/or kernels if you want to get the bugs fixed (e.g. the battery drain), you have a ROM you like for other devices you had (e.g. Paranoid), or you just like the idea of flashing something every couple of weeks, when the ROM is updated...

I have to disagree with your first statement. I've had no bugs or battery drain with stock CM11s except for 30O which is now obsolete. Custom ROMs are for different feature sets and those who like to tinker

Nobody can answer this question for you. There are points to installing custom ROMs and kernels, and each user has their own reasons for doing so. Only you can decide whether CM11S is a good fit for you, if not then try custom ROMs. It all depends on what you want to get out of your phone.
