Clear Droid Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
So was it strange that I was never told this thread even existed and had no idea until just now? For anyone still having problems, a few troubleshooting techniques:
-When installing, are you sure you cleared cache and dalvik? If coming from a major release to a major release, did you do a full wipe instead?
-Are you using the proper radio, as posted in the first post of the thread?
-Are you using any task managers or antivirus apps?

i just flashed 1.2.11 to my phone which i decided to finally root after about 4 months, and i love it. I installed barnacle due to the stock hotspot debacle and when i go to use it it tells me that NAT is not connected. now here at work, where i am testing it, i dont have great connection but i can get 3g to work here. what does it mean when NAT does not connect?

Sorry, no answer here on the hotspot issue. Have you PMd Mister ClearD? He is very responsive and has been working hard on this whole hotspot issue... he'd likely be very interested in your problem.

I too am running 1.2.11, and am delighted with it. However, I am wondering if there is any way to get more volume out of the speaker for ringtones and alarms. I have them maxed out on the phone's adjustments, but it's still awfully quiet.

Michael look for an app called volume+ made by meltus I believe in the market. It works with gingerbread but not froyo. There is a few other fixes for the volume limit but I can't link them currently because I am on my phone. Do a search for it and it should come up. If someone doesn't post it up.

Thanks, got it and it does help!

i sent him a PM. if he gives an answer that works i will post it and let everyone know.

Hello,
Last night I flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM 1.1.51, but when I check under the software information menu, it says the Android version is 2.2.1
The flash seems to work because it says it's running Cleardroid.
Shouldn't it be running the Gingerbread (2.3) update or am I mistaken?
Also, the data connection seems to screw up, and only works when it wants. Sometimes ROM Manager will disappear from the apps menu.
I did a full wipe before flashing and it still won't work.
I also just flashed CoreDroid and it did update to 2.3 , but I want my stock HTC theme back!
Thanks!

The version 1.1.51 is still on froyo build but has the new ril for gingerbread. On the first page of the Dev post he has a link to the matching radio. Give it a flash and see if it helps with your data connection. If you want gingerbread his version 1.2.xx is the gingerbread Rom (still in beta), it has the fix for messaging but he is still working on tethering. It's still the stock look to the dot
On the app side I don't know what could be going on there, sorry I couldn't help on that point, (since I'm not having that particular error)

im personally running 1.2.12 RC2 which is his latest Beta, along with the suggested radio. i dont have any problems with network and it looks and behaves great while keeping that stock look. honestly i love this ROM. if you have any major questions just send ClearD a PM and he will get back to you. probably my favorite dev because he is so thorough and responsive to his followers.

to post my own answer ClearD told me that 1.2.12 has a working tether program. he is still working on making the stock tether work but for now the one he has included in the rom works great so no need for barnacle

Thanks Pytheous and Hiyabuz! I'll give the latest beta a shot because last night I flashed the rooted AT&T stock rom and my battery life improved but I'm still having data problems. Now I'm not sure if it's my cell company or the ROM that's causing the problems.
I'm afraid of flashing the radio and losing my signal completely!

This ROM, from what i can tell, is basically a stock ROM with all of the bloatware crap taken out, and a few cool gadgets added here and there. I love the ROM and the way it feels, but what i love the most is the responsiveness of the Dev for the ROM. If i have an issue i just send him a PM and he either sends me an answer or gets to work on it right away.
as for the radio i flashed the reccomended one on his original dev post and i actually get better signal in most places.

I also have another question of my own. i wanted to test out the GPS last night and it seemed a little more sluggish than stock. i could be immagining things but i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem also.

ok thanks buz. i just wanted to check
i only used it for about 3 min so it wasnt a very good judge of use

For example yesterday I retried mine first reconnect of gps after upping to new radio took 5 mins without vase and was sluggish. With case it took almost 10, today with case on first lock took 14secs with an 8 sat lock inside and using my case. its been awesome since he put in the gps fix. B4 it could take up to 30 mins for first lock without my case and it was only like 4 sats.

Noob here, I flashed the ClearDroid 1.2.12 rom a couple of days ago and love it. The only thing i want to change is the secure box in the messages menu. I would like to hide it or remove it, is it possible? Any help is appreciated, I did search I swear I did.

Will the Tiny audio fix work with this rom?

Issues with using latest gingerbread build.
Hello CleardDroid team;
I am a big fan your ROM, it works great on my phone. I have some serious issues using this ROM;
1) I am unable to compose message, when i try to compose message it force closes. I have tried alot to fix the issue but unable to resolve it. I have cleared its data, restarted it, fix the permissions using ROM manager, but failed to fix the issue.
2) Hotspot is not working, but I guess you are working on it.

[Q] [KatKiss 4.4.2 rev 019] Widgets disappear with Nova launcher

Hi community!
First of all, I want to thank Timduru. I'm using a fresh install of v19 stable of your rom on my TF101 and it is working great.
However, I have one small issue that bothers me:
With Nova Launcher as my default, from time to time all of my widgets on the homescreen are gone after booting. There is just a grey box as placeholder, and I have to tap it to restore the widget. (Like if you using a backup of a launcher and the widgets could not be restored)
This happened a couple of times now, but not after every boot. I was not able to reproduce this behavior.
Any clues what I could do?
Thanks.

#23c is the latest 4.4.2 KatKiss ROM

I know
But am a bit afraid of updating ... cause beside the widgets, everything is working great. *Never change a running system*
Maybe I take the risk ... thanks anyhow!

23 is the best so far - no point trying to troubleshoot an old build, new builds are released to fix old problems
Make a Nandroid backup first, then you can always go back if you want to, but 23 is by far the best

Ok, you got me.
I have just flashed it and it seams to work fine. Hopefully my widget problems are gone now, too.
Thanks for your help.

Update: After testing a couple of days with version #23c of the rom, my problem is still there :crying:
Still with Nova Launcher my widgets disappear after startup from time to time. Everythin else is working great, so my guess is, that it has something to do with the launcher.
Anyone else is using nova or has similar problems?

You can't use the circle widgets on a custom rom nor in a third parth launcher. About Motorola's stock launcher, I'm not so sure it's even possible to do what you want. I believe it cannot be done.

I know this can be done because i remmember long ago, i think when 4.2.2 was new on this phone someone posted a way to have the circle widget. It was importing the stock launcher.
I want to know if anyone on official kk would be kond enogh to privide me with an apk or zip file.
Just reallg like those circle widgets.

Well, at least I tried to port the circles widget to CM11 M7 but it was impossible, so I'm skeptic that will ever work again, unless of course, you use the KK stock launcher.

[Q] Retail CM11 vs non-retail CM11

Hi, does anybody know what the differences between the retail CM11 and the CM11 rom from the cyanogenmod.org website (nightlies or stable)?
The main thing I noticed about the retail version was the lockscreen but that was about it. Other than that it was still on 4.4.2 and didn't have the additions in Trebuchet that I had become accustomed-to (namely the grid size customization). So after playing with the retail version a bit I quickly switched over to the nightly-builds (4.4.4). But I did keep a back-up of the retail version in case I wanted to revert.
But I'm just wondering if others noticed any differences/ advantages to keeping the retail version of the OS.
Also, I did an app back-up of everything using Titanium-backup but when I tried to restore some of the apps/ theme TB would just hang.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if people here are keeping the retail version and for what reasons.

I'm losing patience for waiting for an invite, and I want to buy OPO one Oppo's site but it comes with Color OS.
I know i can install CM11 from they site, but with that version will I get OTA updates?

I think he thinks oppomart is affiliated with oneplus and oppo. Even mentioning oppomart on oneplus's forums is the quickest way to get banned.

Very important: the 3G/LTE bands are different between the international OPO and the chinese version so it may not work as desired.
You will get OTA updates after flashing CM11S according to other forum members.

Yeah that's not oppo's website. Like the other gentleman said they are not affiliated. Nice try though.

Ok, so it seems that the only major difference besides UI tweaks is the 4k video recording. Does anyone know of any replacement apps that also do 4k?

If you read my post, you can do 4K recording on custom roms. Just install the apk.

I see very little differences, they're almost identical, but the CM11 nightly version fix some of the bugs currently in the official 'stable' CM11S version.
With regular CM, you lack certain things from the CM11S:
AudioFX, 4K camera, GalleryNext, Theme Showcase, Screencast (to record phone screen, but you can substitute it with an app called Rec.)
As for the Trebuchet launcher, the lastest CM11 nightly will have the same one as found in CM11S.
You can get the CM11S specific apks from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/download-oneplus-firmware-dumpsnexus-4-t2752484

CM11s will be always be behind CM11 nightlys. All specific apks you can flash on nightlys.

[Q] Powered Off, Battery Animation

Hi, I tried the XDA Assist board and was redirected here so I was wondering if anyone here knows how to modify the Battery Animation in the Powered Off State, currently on my current ROM (BrokenOS 1.4 Official 4.4.4) the animation is gone and is just a static image so I'm unable to tell if the battery is charging/battery level.
I found the stock images in the res/images/charger and that's not at all what I currently have with this ROM and I'm unable to find the ones I do have. Is this a glitch on my part and if so how do I fix this, I really like charging my phone while off so that it can rest.
Below is the image of what I currently have,it just looks like a fat cigarette too me which urks me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3061739&d=1418452145
Device Info (Incase it Helps)
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 - BrokenOS 1.4 (Official 4.4.4) - BMS (Kernel) - SuperSU 2.3.7 Pro - TWRP 2.8.1.0

Anyone have a idea of what direction to go in to resolve my problem?

I still haven't figured a solution to this,anyone?.. any enlightenment on this?

Alright, well I just flashed my previous ROM I was using (BlissStalk) alongside all my other things I would flash and it works, so I'll try flashing the ROM (BrokenOS,what I was using) standalone and see if it reoccurs. Might switch ROMs if it really is the ROM,there was features in BlissStalk that BrokenOS doesn't have. (Power Widget for one, I had just learnt to dealt with the Toggles and use Quick Pulldown)
