Yeh i know, not implemented yet.

Hi @Alberto96, as I said in the CM general discussion thread I have noticed a buzz in the earpiece even with not in a call. I found that it's a know defect at least for Nexus 4 (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39936). But, while searching about this I found something about in call sound quality in droidforums.net (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/an...better-call-audio-how-change-voice-codec.html), it suggests to use another voice codec. I know the thread is old (2009), but I hope it can help.
Edit: Also found this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611599, relating the problem to kitkat update.

I don't know if it's a bug, but in some submenus of some configs when I press back or touch in the up left corner to go back for previous menu don't work, they just go for general config menu.
Example: Config. -> Screen and lights -> notification led if I press back it open Screen and lights menu again but themes menu and maybe some others don't work like this, it open Config menu directly.

How to restore CM apps
Hello everyone,I flashed CM 11 a couple of days ago and after that I flashed PA Gapps (Art + Dalvik) I knew that they would overwrite CM's apps but now I'm not satisfied with the apps and I want to restore to CM apps,what should I do?I tried reflashing CM rom but it didn't work.I also tried disabling gapps and installing CM apps and this also didn't work.

Do this (Recovery):
- Format /system
- Reinstall CM ROM
- Do not flash Google Addon
Done!

Well,I should do a backup cause I don't want to lose my apps data and then format.That's alot of work I wanted to know if there's an easier way or not ty anyway

If you format only /system you don't need to do a backup. You aren't formatting /data where user apps/settings are located

Well tried it multiple times but fails to install,gives installation aborted message "Sdcard:Setparam error,(Status7)".
So had to reinstall yours,But before that I did some stuff which helped a bit !
I formatted the SD card to start a fresh,with nothing on the card I copied the repartition image folder and did the repartition again just to make sure its not the issue with partition or size !
Next tried the Kangs ROM and failed as mentioned above,Next tried yours and was able to successfully install the ROM,installed Gapps from Kangs (after reboot from the first boot)
Long story short,it now performs much faster and better then earlier,Don't know what was the issue earlier but its sort of sorted for now (although some lag persists,but guess have to live with it).
Thanks once again for the replies. Any guesses as to why the original one failed and not yours ??
Also can we expect FM to be operational in your next build ??

Weird, no idea what caused all those issues, but if it's now working then awesome! I can't get FM to compile with my builds for some reason, I may be missing some patches so I'll try again tomorrow. You can just take the FM apk out of KonstaKANG zip and install it to your system, that should work. But I'll compile and upload another build tomorrow regardless of FM compiling or not. I'll add FM to my /system from KonstaKANG tomorrow and double check it works, which it should (may need some other files), if it does then I'll just copy paste the FM apk across.

[Q] Camera storage location using 4.4.2 KitKat CyanogenMod 11

Just installed the latest official CyanogenMod on my S3. Only problem I have is now there is no option to set the camera's storage to the external SD card like there used to be (I came from jelly bean). I have about 2GB free on internal and 20GB free on external, soo... kinda need to change that Any tips?
You could try Pictures2SD module for Xposed. Looks like there are a few users who had success with it on KitKat 4.4.2 but it is clearly stated in the OP that it is not compatible.

Uh, well that caused camera app to be completely gone for me. Any way to restore it? That post says to just rename Gallery2, but it was already renamed to that after a reboot, and I still have no camera at all now
EDIT never mind, got it back, guess I'll just deal with it as is for now.

Hmm yeah just Touch Focus Duration, Picture Quality, and Anti Banding in mine. I'm still running 1/20/2014 though. It seems like every build since then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558946&page=177 has had a bunch of problems, so I haven't updated.
This setting is indeed there in the Google Camera app on CM11M3. It is not present in the new one, that you can get from the Play Store.
Is the setting allowing to store on external SD in the “old” Google Camera a CM modification?

Don't worry buddy there is one way --- go to settings of System NOT of camera -> DEVICE -> Storage . Then check the Default Write Disk as 'SD card' and you are done.. Enjoy..

[DISCUSSION] CM11 Weekly builds by Arslan Kirmani

Hello guys! This is my first post on XDA page so I would like to open a discussion about CM11 Weekly builds by Kirmani Arslan.
So,lets start.
For me: I tried every build (from 1. to 5.) and I can easily say that ROM is really smooth because of no FPS capping like on other CM11 ROMs.
Build no.1 Was the beggining of development of CM11 for our little Pico.
After a week using it,I found it very smooth,snappy and stable. Everbody started to using it. It showed how KitKat is used by legacy devices.
I found only one bug. Rebooting. After every reboot,my data gets lost and my phone starts again. This was very annoying so I was just waiting for a newer build.Finally,Arslan released a new build.
Build no.2. Devs are making huge progress by fixing almost all bugs. But they are still showing on testing. ROM keeps to be silky smooth. Bugs I found are: wallpaper managment.
Everytime I reboot,my wallpaper gets zoomed for some reason. Also,devs fixed the data loss problem appearing on previous build. I was very pleased to use the ROM.
Build no.3. Kirmani Arslan,Sachin Thomas and Terminal Unity (known as GalaxyFreak) are made ART compiler avalible for Pico users. Thats a huge suprise for Pico users. Also,they upgraded the Android version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3. Cool things about this build are:they moved from ARMV6 sources to ARMV7. That makes our phone snappier in form of performance and we can use ART! Also,we got the new blue dialer appearing in 4.4.3. Bugs I found: Really annoying graphical glitches, They are appearing as lines on screen when you touch it. I was hopping to fix that and VOILA! They were fixed in next build.! But not completely.
Build no.4. Devs put CM upstream so that made ROM pure CyanogenMod experience. Also,in build no.2,S2W and DT2W toggles were fixed so you could use them but a bug showing with using them. You can use them only if both of them are enabled. They also put a soundimage of HTC One M8. Problems (not bugs) occuring are: Sound volume at call,speaker volume at call and random reboots. That was not so annoying because reboots happened one in two days. But the call saund was not so good.
And latest BUILD no.5. They made huge progress. After putting it to CM upstream sources and fixing all display bugs,now they made sound quality great (but volume still remains the same). Thats not all,they updated Android version to latest KitKat: 4.4.4. That brought OpenSLL fixes,new web search engine and really cool CM wallpapers.Almost no bugs at all. Finally,they managed RAM usage to make phone more usable and making it as my daily driver. Now it is smoother,snappier more stable and no bugs. You can multitask more because of RAM management.
Comment your experiences!
Weekly Build 5 is obviously much better than other builds. :good: I like build 5 the most. Only one thing I didnt understood is the SD swap option in performance, what it is and how to use it?

In Linux when we create a partition There is a option on creating swap memory.. Which acts as a virtual memory.. Means you can say virtual RAM.. When a physical RAM is not available.. the app will use virtual ram to run..
You can use it only when you have swap partition in you card..
You can get the swap memory but you need to partition your card again..
You can do it vis recovery or minitool..
I'm currently using class 4 8gb card with 1gb for ext (int-expansion),but for every single rom I use,restarts start when I install some apps.I ordered a SanDisk class 10 uhs-1 8gb card yesterday to do the same. will it solve my prob?

I dont think its related to the class of your card.. Might be due to problems in your partition.. Format the partition in your PC.. Then install apps.. Always make sure you clean wipe everything before flashing ROM.. Unclean flashing sometimes also leads to reboots..
Partition is the important thing.. Even if you use class 10 card..

You can download and install cPanel for Cody Kernel and disable BLN notifications. I also did the same thing which drastically improved the battery performance.

I have used many roms...see pico isn't my primary phone and I don't want the phone capabilities but only a proper android device with apps working...I always flash roms after wiping everything data,system,cache,dalvik,ext etc...I don't think it's the problem of wiping...also when I flashed this CM rom,my phone got fixed from following bugs:
•When locking the system locks but screen turns on(i thought it was the switch but now it's working wonderfully)
•The system is very much responsive.
I have only formatted and partitioned the sd card through recovery (don't have a card reader)

1. be sure you have a custom recovery like TWRP (I use v3.0.0.0 for klte) or similar
Everyone using those Nightly's is advised to use TWRP 3.0.0.0 for SM-G900F only!!!
Wipe/Clear data/cache function is not working in TWRP 3.0.2.1 and higher!!!
2. download desired NIGHTLY and GAPPS via link from above
3. put files on your SD-card and enter recovery mode via 3 button-combo or extended menu
3. wipe data/cache/dalvik, format system
4. flash Nightly
5. flash GAPPS (if Aroma is faster than 10 seconds, flash again. Aroma full installer aborts atm)
6. wipe cache/dalvik again (optional)
7. restart and have fun with your NIGHTLY
Note: This is not a development thread. All credits are on CM and Xposed devs​
Okay guys,
here's my report for the nightly from 10th of August.
As I can say, everything is working soft and properly except of some small issues:
- multi-user-profiles are not adjustable
When I try to set a picture or change the account name a toast-message with "contact does not exist" appears. Profiles are shown as "Owner", "New User" and "Guest".
- when in 2nd user-account sometimes new installed apps are force closed
First time I noticed this, was when installing the new user-account, google framework had a fc, but afterwards everything worked great.
Second fc was on installation of SwiftKey Keyboard. To use it, I had to switch back to "owner", then the Keyboard is shown in the options
- Bluetooth music play on my car is stuttering, when phone is in use, f. e. when radar control app is in background. BT phone was fine in my car, but I read about other users, who had the same issues with their headsets.
Thats all so far.
I hope we can start a little discussion on your experiences and faced problems.
It will be great if someone can find an official way to report issues directly to the builders of this ROM.
However, the progress of development of this ROM is remarkable!

As you can read here its a known issue that is related on missing drivers for the button sensor. So waiting is the only option that us non-developing-skills-blessed-users will have.

Thanks, Nice Rom. Working fine except that video cam features missing, sometimes reboot itself. Overall excellent working, worth daily use

Yes you're right.
The CM Camera is stripped down to the bones very much. Just use third-party-apps like open camera or original google camera instead to more features. There's another project called Camera Next which is a port from the OnePlusOne. You'll find it on XDA.
Sadly, they all are not as capable as the Samsung Cam, but for a quickshot, they're fine.
THX for your report.
Anyone know how to get separate icon in status bar when using mobile data like the 4G and H+ icons?

What do you mean with separate icons? Do you think about data traffic arrows? My icons are changing from H, H+ to LTE as they should.

Yes, but as you can see I only see the arrows and not the LTE indicator, I think may be its because my sim is on roaming.

Hi, Thanks for the Rom. It works great. I am just facing one issue.
I had Philz touch recovery and after I installed this rom, its seems like the phone isnt rooted anymore. I tried updating the recovery to latest TWRP and it didnt work and also to CM recovery, that also didnt work. Any suggestions to get the root back?
Thanks,
Lalit

Hi,
first have a look in developer settings and switch on systemwide root access. Sometimes it get lost when flashing a new recovery. I use the TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery. It is not buildt for the S5 duos, but it works perfect. With this recovery I never lost root access by flashing a new ROM.
BTW, CM provides a custom recovery since the Nightly 13th of August. Anyone tried this?
Please report back.

Facing the same issue but its not this massive. just my opinion. If you like testing to get Xposed working for our Duos variant with CM 12.1 u r able to set new volume specs with V4A.
Pls report back.
...but as seen, getting Xposed working is easy, Viper 4 Android is not!
Another bug, Bluetooth disconnected and connected for few seconds randomly and shutter while audio playing. Any temporary fix please. Thanks.*
