NoobROM 4.4.4 CM/AOSP based KitKat for Blaze 4G - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.

Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?

My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.

Every time I try to install setup wizard fails and the phone doesn't fully boot correctly. Any suggestions??

If it's the Cyanogenmod setup wizard, I cannot help, as I said development has been halted until I can get another Blaze.
It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.

I can't seem to be able to clear the defaults for Launcher so that I enable a new one. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?
By the way, the thanks button is right at the bottom of all of my posts.

Havent used it much, everytime I try and install, I get the error of Setupwizard force close and can never set up the ROM. When is your Blaze arriving? Any chances we will get any new updates or advances? I will try and reinstall today.

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.

Notes:
IMPORTANT: Although all of my scripts check for and handle appropriatly a2sd and other apps2sd utilities it is highly recomended that you move your apps back to the /data/app folder and remove or disable any a2sd utilities prior to flashing this ROM, once flashed you can reset all of your a2sd settings accordingly. It is also recomend that you leave your cache and dalvik cache alone as moving these can cause backup and restore to fail if there is insuffiecient space.
Enjoy, this is fast stable and very clean, I have even included some of my favorite backgrounds which can be found under "Menu - More - Wallpaper". And as always I am the only DEV (To my knowledge) that includes an antivirus app in my ROM and handles backups and restores of all user level apps (/data/app and /data/app-private) during the flash sequence. No matter what style or flavor of rom you currently have there is no need to wipe, my updater-script handles everything for you. I do still recomend a full nand backup first just for safety sake.
Thanks:
evanbigfan - for pointing out a flaw in my scripts
J074 - for all the testing (and the humor) LOL
existz - for the kernel
google - for android
cyanogenmod - for the stable base
and all of the devs that provided help with the backup and restore issues.

Nice. Really good rom. Thanks.
Thanks for your work...I tried it, but had to nand back. I followed instructions & everything went great until I tried to use Titantium Backup to add back a few apps it failed to install ...then it started restarting.
The apps were fancy Widgets & pro Widgets.
Gonna reflash when I stop for the night.
Thanks for all you do though....I'm still a rookie this.

without restoring the apps from titanium backup did all your other apps work as expected? when you are restoring your apps from TB are you choosing data as well? if your previous ROM was a sense rom this could be the cause of the problem. try restoring without data and then setup the apps again from scratch. let me know if that helps.
Looking good.

Previous rom was Ninja (aosp) .
It auto installed all but 6 previously installed apps...I tried twice today.
I think my problem lies with a auto update of superuser. It auto updated twice...I skipped all setup accounts until dead last in case something was triggering it...no dice, it still did it. Tried clearing data on superuser, but it was greyed-out because there wasn't any data as of yet.
Also, I always restore apps...never data.
I dunno what I'm doing wrong...never had an issue like this.
Maybe superuser updating?
Edit: forgot to mention that on the second time round....I also tried to use the market to re-install my missing apps...and the same thing happened (phone restarts)
I'm gonna try it again and reinstall nothing & I'll report back

AHA!! A brand-new ROM - lots of questions!!
As a confirmed "flash-junkie" on my older Aria, I now have a 2-month old Inspire, and have already tried SO MANY ROMS I have lost count I really need to stop having it "out of commission" all the time because I'm trying something new!!! So -- I am looking for a Gingerbread ROM - definitely "no-sense" or very minimal Sense! (I use 3rd party apps for almost everything that Sense does and it takes so much space and time to load and run it all, or to delete so much every time I update a Sense ROM...
I have tons!!! of apps, and have been using CM7 nightlies - hoping for just the "right one" but I have not been completely satisfied for one reason or another... (Wi-Fi, GPS, ADW launcher so slow, lack of A2sd/EXT4 support, etc...)
What I want: I want to keep my most-used apps "internal" to load faster, and most of my "other" stuff, such as games, "testing" apps, reference library apps, etc. on a separate partition. I would prefer S2E/Link2SD type EXT-4 for the speed and "wipability..." I have used the S2E app, but don't like to move everything, I have tried Link2SD without much success, so I have been pretty much using standard A2SD, which is a pain...
So... what options does your ROM have for something like that? And... what setup do you recommend prior to flashing?? (i.e. pre-set EXT4 secondary partition?)
And... Is data/GPS/Wi-Fi etc. pretty stable without all the "fixes" to apply each update? I'm getting tired of editing build.prop, gps.conf, kernel flashing, etc. on this phone - I'd like to leave all that to my old phone and have my Inspire nice and set for pretty much my daily user -- if an OCD flash junkie can actually do that, anyhow - he he he
OK - I realize this was a very long post, but if you don't think your new ROM is my best choice, I'm open to other ideas from anyone!!!
Thanks!

I'm trying to remember what ver of SU is in the ROM i think it should be 3.0.2 (it was current as of the time i built the rom) I'm not convinced that that could be the issue. I dont use titanium backup as i just start from scratch, i dont much care about data just the apps so i havent tested anything with titanium backup. I'm curious what 6 apps don't install? is it the same 6 everytime? anything special about them? was your previous ROM an EXT3 or EXT4 ROM? are you using any apps2sd utils or have your sdcard partitioned? again thats one i don't use so havent tested for. (sorry if i tested for every possible scenario I'd never get anything done).
I'll try TB tonight and see what happens.

Well I'm probably the worst Flash junkie around I frequently run with broken ROMS just trying to test and build. since I only have one phone that becomes a real pain at times.
so to try to answer your questions. I don't use any apps2sd utils nor do i partion my sdcard nor move any apps to the sdcard and with this rom having on average around 400mb free I havent had much of a need to do so. that being said it does support extended partitions on the sdcard (up to 512mb) you can use any of the third party apps2sd utils just fine as well.
Data/GPS/WiFi including WiFi hotspot and tethering all work flawlessly in my opinion. stability has always been one of my biggest concerns that's why I started building ROMs so I could be the one in control of any stability issues that arose. there should be absolutly no need to edit the build.prop for anything that I'm aware of it is tweaked to provide the best results for the ROM.
Recomendations for prior to flashing. NAND NAND NAND Backups are your friend...
My updater-script is unique in that I am to my knowledge the only one who handles app backups and restores as well as cleanup and wiping through the script so in all reality you can download my ROM make a backup of your current ROM and then Flash mine with no concern of what style of ROM you came from.
I hope that helps answer some of your questions. in regards to whether or not i think this is the right one for you? that is a determination that only you can make. personally this has been my daily driver for nearly a week without issues and im not one for AOSP roms per say..
anyone having this problem?
when i try to install apps i have purchased, i try to install them after i downloaded them but when it trys to install my phone fast reboots, ig u could say lol, is this happening to anyone else.. cause i cant install any apps on my phone
Tried again ....this time I did not try to reinstall any apps via TIB...used market. Data shut off and phone rebooted with ANY app from the market.
It would download BUT then reboot before it finished installing.
Even tried apps at random...lol
Just to be sure it wasn't particular apps.
Tried clearing market data and also reformatted SD card ext4.
Lead me in the right direction if you can ...I'd really like to get this one running. I'm sure you put alot of time in on it & I think its gonna be a good one.

i have yyet to have any issues installing apps from the market yet others have had reboot issues when trying to restore from titanium backup. im not sure why this happens.
what rom did you come from? was it ext3 or ext4? sense or AOSP? and what apps are you trying to install, directly from market or from apk's downloaded to your sdcard? if previously downloaded can you adb them to your data/app folder?
both, and a miui rom the the one previous to the latest

[Q] System UI keeps crashing

Hey guys,
I am currently running skyICS 4.2F6-2.6.1B and recently, my phone has been crashing alot. I am using the Touchwix UX and that has been crashing, but today the system UI has been crashing as well. I also noticed today that the battery life is significantly lower than what it normally is. The camera fails when I try to use it and the flashlight makes the system lock up.
Do I just need to reflash a new ROM? Before this, it was running perfectly. Could I just clear the cache and will that fix it?
Thanks

I would try clearing cache and dalvick first. If that doesn't solve your problem ...then full wipe & flash rom fresh . Good Luck

I would probably say reflash the ROM is the correct way to go.
**MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE ROM IN YOUR EXTERNAL MEDIA CARD PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE STEPS PROVIDED!!***
Wipe X3
format /system X3
format /data X3
format /cache X3
format /emmc X3
Then install the ROM you want to install.
On SkyICS 4.2F6, right around update 2.5 / 2.6 is when the system partition got max'd out. If you have TiBu, check your "system ROM" free space... if next to nil, you will start running into issues. Are you on the BaseR2 ROM, BaseR3, or Dragon? If BaseR2, you will need to free up some headroom on the system partition (/system/app). Search the SkyICS 4.2F6 ATT Development thread for previous posts about freeing up space on system partition (I posted on Development thread regarding this). If you're not on R2, you should have enough system partition space, and most likely this is not the cause of your problem.

I actually did run out of space when trying to move on with my updates, which is why I stopped there. I am not sure which items i could remove in the system partition so I also just left that. Any suggestions on which to get rid of?

It really depends on what apps you use / don't use. If you are on R2 safebase, and don't use "S-Voice" (since Sean added GoogleNow, he removed S-Voice from the R3 bases), start with removing it first. S-Voice is the "voicetalk.apk". I'd recommend first backing it up w/ TiBi (in case you want to restore it later), then using TiBu, uninstall S-Voice (voicetalk.apk). It's 30mb on the system partition and you can probably stop there. But if want to free up more space on system partition, SocialHub (SevenEngine.apk) is 8.5mb. I had removed 10 apps which freed plenty of space... but then at 2.8, I decided to reflash the R3 Dragon... really happy with it... no issues whatsoever.
I already removed S voice. I currently have 49.2MB free, is that good enough? Should I keep figuring what to delete? I would reflash R3 Dragon, but I just don't want to go through all the effort of recreating my home screen and my folders and such. :/ unless there is a way to save and restore that kind of thing.

49mb free should be more that sufficient to run without crashes. I think at this point your best best is to restore a recent nandroid (if you did one)... at least the last known good one where you were not encountering crashes and FCs. I use Apex Launcher which I really like, and it gives you the option to backup settings and homescreens. Other than these suggestions you might need to reflash. I'd recommend the R3 Dragon this time with the 2.8A.
Hmm... I've had similar problems when I upgraded to the OFFICIAL ICS update, and was the reason why I rooted in the first place. Now I'm running Jellybean and it's great
It looks like the I727 and ICS don't go along very well...

Is there already a Jellybean ROM for skyrocket? How stable is it?
It runs fine, but occasionally it shuts down randomly. Well, it hasnt for the past few days, but I'm keeping a close eye on everything. Also, I have no idea how to set the APN and the phone doesn't hve the right settings. I'm on Rogers and would appreciate any help
Otherwise, I really like it. The ROM is in the android development section of in the skyrocket section.

[Q] Status Bar disappeared w/ Slim Bean 4.2.2

I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2. Build 1 doing a complete wipe along with the Slim Gapps package yesterday. It installed fine and I was restoring my apps with Titanium as usual. After this completed I restarted my phone and now my entire status bar is gone. I can't pull down notifications or the quick settings. It's completely gone.
I've done some searching and only found a couple other people with this problem on other phones. Some suggestions have been forcing gpu rendering and playing with the status bar transparency. None of these work.
I also re flashed the rom again (just on top of the existing one as I'm at work and don't have the means to do a complete wipe + flash) to no avail.
I would like to say I love the Slim Bean roms and 4.2.1 was working just great for me but I am probably just going to wait for 4.2.2 Build 2 as this is not acceptable at all. I would have preferred to post this on the Slim Bean thread in the development thread but of course I'm not allowed cause my post count = noob (IMO this is a stupid rule)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Build 2 of Slim Bean has TRDS implemented into the settings, so make sure to download both the ROM and new Add-ons. During installation, be sure to fully wipe the phone meaning Wipe Data \ Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and format /system, flash the ROM and Add-ons. Also, the launcher has an ability to hide the status bar, so make sure it is working before restoring any backed up launcher settings.

If any launcher you have tried hides it, then probably flashing the new build will fix it, but yes Nova has an option to hide the Notification bar in 'Look and Feel'.
You don't have to flash the Add-ons but at least flash the Slim gapps, you need the Google framework to sync your account, and also so TRDS will work for the Google apps. Format /system this time because of the new TRDS implementation in settings. It's always good to format /system when changing ROMs, when the base has changed or updates are made that will affect the system partition because during the flashing process, it actually copies everything out of system and puts it back, it's why some issues from one ROM can carry over to another, if it isn't done.
A good dirty flash would be to do all of those steps except Wipe Data \ Factory Reset.

Thanks for the flashing tips, Good to know! I just got Build 2 installed with the new gapps, my status bar is back and it's running beautifully so far. Hopefully my titanium backups aren't the problem... I originally started using titanium back sometime during ICS so I hope some apps aren't corrupt.
So this probably wasn't even a ROM/Device specific problem so next time I'll just post in the general Q&A.
Thanks again and have a great weekend!

I think you misunderstood the question LOL
When you restore from titanium backup a popup will come up saying your android id has changed with three options. Ignore, keep, and cancel(I think is the last one) which option are you choosing? Keep will bring over any build specific data that has been used by the apps and will cause issues, ignore is the best option.

Yes, its device specific. Any time you flash a new ROM your device creates a new id which is then assigned to the data of your apps. Ota automatically discards this id and assigns a new one, where restoring from tb would try to keep that info and it would cause conflicts

Well, I didn't follow through with reading this whole thread but there was a similar one last week. If you can't see your status bar in any launcher turn off extended desktop by holding down the power key and selecting it. Save you a lot of reinstall time in the future.

That option allows you to select whether it will be shown in your extended power menu... The Expanded Desktop has different options to hide the Status and / or Navigation bar... You can also bind hardware keys to the Expanded Desktop... It may have been your issue, but now you are on Build 2 with a fresh install, things should run great...

Woes of my Infuse

I start with a fresh wipe of my phone and then install BeanStalk with gapps (I'm currently using BS version 4.4.275 with gapps 20140105. Everything is fine for months. Then a couple of apps will start to crash a few times (the camera, dialer, browser and google apps). I've stopped using titanium backup and clockwork mod to restore my data because they were causing issues. Then the force closes become more and more frequent. I ran fix permissions and i have know clue if it helped or not. Then finally all hell breaks loose and everything begins to force close and give errors of no space left on phone. No launcher will stay open everything just bugs out. This seems to be an on going matter. It doesn't seem to resolve no matter what rom I run. I've gone through every folder sizing it and my phone is not out of space. I am getting very frustrated with my Infuse. I don't understand what some of the stuff means in my catlog file. If someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.
i found out that Google+ and Google Drive might be the cause (such as when you upload or backup your photos to those clouds)
if you have time, go read those last 10 pages of BeanStalks, you will see what others have offered to resolve this issues
as for me, I'd do full wipe, specially format the sdcard0 (keep the Rom and Gapps to your SDcard1), and stop using the two Google services mentioned above. and use another Gapps (I am using the minimal one) Good luck!
Same problem with Unofficial CM 11.2 also
Exactly the same issue I am having with Unofficial CM 11.2 from scott.
I have been using Scott Harts Unofficial CM from 10.1 to 11.2 on my Samsung infuse and each time i notice a pattern.
Each of the above ROMs start out pretty smooth, and the phone works without any issues for 6 months or so. Then occasionally and app or two start crashing. Then in a weeks time all hell breaks loose and almost all apps start crashing such that the phone becomes unusable. Especially trebuchet starts crashing and that is the end of story.
In the past i have noticed this happens a month or so after an updated rom has been released and I used to upgrade to the new one and the cycle continues.
I am currently on the latest Unoffical CM 11_2 (Kitkat) and the appropriate Gapps installed and the same issue has happened twice.
I have tried the following to fix the issue and nothing helps
1. Clear data for trebuchet and a bunch of other apps.
2. Reinstall Gapps
3. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install Gapps
5. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install custom Rom >> install gapps >> wipe cache and dalvik again
The only way I have been able to get it working in the past is
1. Wipe data/factory reset > Clear Cache > clear Dalvik cache and possibly reinstall ROM and gapps (not sure, but I guess factory reset also does the trick)
So my phone is stuck in this mode and I would like to help debug the situation. Can someone help with the next steps? So that I can capture all required information before I do a factory reset .
Unable to get RSA prompt
Well I went ahead with a factory reset, installed Unofficial CM11_2 from Scott. Got the latest gapps from goo.im and phone seems normal again. But that is the expected behavior untill it starts acting up again.
I tried a lot to connect the phone through ADB and each time it remains unauthorized.
I tried on 2 different laptops, Windows 7, Windows Vista as well as Ubuntu - it always remained unauthorized and no matter what i tried ... changing USB ports , OS machines...nothing helped.
I never got the RSA signature prompt on my phone so could not do anything with ADB.
Any body has any ideas ?

Not sure about the other ROM's. I could go on a flashing journey, but I have two new devices I'm getting adjusted to right now. If you are not tied down to CM (don't know if it's your DD), I would suggest trying Carbon or CyanFox.
Me, I didn't need ADB that much at the time so I stuck with what I have. Not a solution, but I hope you find a ROM that works (partnered with a minimal gapps).

Unfortunately the infuse is the only phone I have (so my DD)...but the lure to test the ADB on carbon is also compelling for me. Let me try moving to a non smart phone and try this out.
OK. So i installed the Carbon KK nightly, and encountered the same issue. adb devices always lists the phone as
0123456789ABCDEF unauthorized.
Also i never received the rsa prompt...
Moreover the device key seems to suggest it is some default value as compared to an actual device key.
Got it Working !!!
Ok so finally got it working.
I moved away from Scott's Unofficial CM11_2 on my daily driver and moved to Carbon ROM. Loving the new rom so far.
Once i moved to this ROM, I started adb on my desktop (adb kill-server, adb start-server) and was waiting
then on phone enabled Developer options and Android debugging over USB and connected the phone to desktop, and zingggg I get the RSA prompt.
One important thing it read is that you phone should be unlocked when you connect it to your desktop, so in case you have things like PIN or gestures that lock your screen....ensure that your screen is not locked when the phone is being connected.
Not sure if this was the issue or if it was the CM rom,,,but issue is resolved, I am loving Carbon...so not going back to CM to check the lockscreen theory....but worth a try for someone who is pulling his/her hair out like i was.
Ciao !!!
---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
missed mentioning that do not worry about the device id of 0123456789ABCDEF....i noticed it does not change for me even when adb connects properly.
It is the unauthorised state that needs to change to device.
What's the default launcher on Carbon, or does it give you a choice like Beanstalk?
Will be retiring the Infuse soon, so am thinking on what ROM to put on when I go to sell it (or give away). The requirement is that is not overwhelming to a new user. Cyanogenmod has a lot of customization, but it doesn't necessarily get in the way. I'd call it borderline overwhelming. Beanstalk is quite overwhelming, because you are forced to pick a launcher right from the beginning (even though I like it for the Jellybean qualities).
Because of these, I just may return it to stock, but have it rooted and with CWM.

I do not see any option to select a launcher like Scotts CM had. So i guess there is no direct option to select it.
Quick search in the running apps shows Launcher 3 running, and apk also available in the priv-app folder in rom, so can conclude launcher is Launcher3.
I did not find it overwhelming in any way.

I flashed it last night (latest nightly), and it gave me the option of either Launcher3 or Google Now Launcher. I think if someone who was new to the device would be stumped a little by this, but would probably select the Google Now one (the question would be would they press once or always) and be done with it.
Having something recognizable runs at an advantage here compared to Beanstalk, where, unless you know CyanogenMod (or have played with a lot of launchers) you wouldn't know what to select. That would be overwhelming.
Anyway, I wiped the data again, breezed through setup (skipped everything but language and time zone), so it's all ready to go. If need be I can get them set up with a network and Google account before I throw them to the wind.
EDIT:
I see why I got the prompt ... I used the Paranoid Android micro apps package, which includes ... the Google Now Launcher.

Hi,
I was using CM 10.1 from Scott for like a year and didn't have any trouble at all, really the best ROM. Only had two small problems: wouldn't film on 720p without bugging, and MHL to HDMI was not working.
Now I installed CM 11, with latest gapps ( didn't know there was a CM11.2 ), and camera issue on filming is the same. But now it's worse, battery life is lasting half the time it was before, and gallery is crap, bugging every time. Did you have the same issues? Tell me the post of CM11.2 please..

Not sure about this, but I think CM 11.2 is referred to as KitKat 4.4.4, which would be latest in the CM thread. So you are probably already running it.

I was using CM 10.1 from Scott for like a year and didn't have any trouble at all, really the best ROM. Only had two small problems: wouldn't film on 720p without bugging, and MHL to HDMI was not working.
Now I installed CM 11, with latest gapps ( didn't know there was a CM11.2 ), and camera issue on filming is the same. But now it's worse, battery life is lasting half the time it was before, and gallery is crap, bugging every time. Did you have the same issues? Tell me the post of CM11.2 please..

apart from the issues that i mentioned - my experience with CM 11.2 has been great. There are some obvious things like MHL etc that do not work, but those are known issues.

I flashed it last night (latest nightly), and it gave me the option of either Launcher3 or Google Now Launcher. I think if someone who was new to the device would be stumped a little by this, but would probably select the Google Now one (the question would be would they press once or always) and be done with it.
Having something recognizable runs at an advantage here compared to Beanstalk, where, unless you know CyanogenMod (or have played with a lot of launchers) you wouldn't know what to select. That would be overwhelming.
Anyway, I wiped the data again, breezed through setup (skipped everything but language and time zone), so it's all ready to go. If need be I can get them set up with a network and Google account before I throw them to the wind.
EDIT:
I see why I got the prompt ... I used the Paranoid Android micro apps package, which includes ... the Google Now Launcher.

You can download the Nova Launcher from the google play store if you want to have the same experience as with Scotts Beanstalk. I love the carbon ROM but I am so accustomed to the Nova launcher that I cant live without it.

Exactly the same issue I am having with Unofficial CM 11.2 from scott.
I have been using Scott Harts Unofficial CM from 10.1 to 11.2 on my Samsung infuse and each time i notice a pattern.
Each of the above ROMs start out pretty smooth, and the phone works without any issues for 6 months or so. Then occasionally and app or two start crashing. Then in a weeks time all hell breaks loose and almost all apps start crashing such that the phone becomes unusable. Especially trebuchet starts crashing and that is the end of story.
In the past i have noticed this happens a month or so after an updated rom has been released and I used to upgrade to the new one and the cycle continues.
I am currently on the latest Unoffical CM 11_2 (Kitkat) and the appropriate Gapps installed and the same issue has happened twice.
I have tried the following to fix the issue and nothing helps
1. Clear data for trebuchet and a bunch of other apps.
2. Reinstall Gapps
3. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install Gapps
5. Wipe Cache >> Wipe Dalvik Cache > install custom Rom >> install gapps >> wipe cache and dalvik again
The only way I have been able to get it working in the past is
1. Wipe data/factory reset > Clear Cache > clear Dalvik cache and possibly reinstall ROM and gapps (not sure, but I guess factory reset also does the trick)
So my phone is stuck in this mode and I would like to help debug the situation. Can someone help with the next steps? So that I can capture all required information before I do a factory reset .

OK the exact same problem has started again today on Carbon ROM. Wonder if this is a Cyanogen thing, as that seems to be common between the two.
Anyone else facing this ?

Hmm, don't think I kept a ROM on my Infuse long enough to encounter this problem (except for my several months with CM 10.1, no issues). As for other phones, I use Jellybean on my semi-retired HTC and did not have this problem (closest I came was when I tried out Fly-On mod - lag closures often). But I don't think It's a Jellybean problem.
I think (and this may have been covered already) this has to do with the piddly datadata partition filling up. One way to check is open a terminal emulator (app on the phone of adb shell) and type:
Code:
df
Look for datadata in that listing. If it is in the 90% range, that spells trouble. If that is the case, you could try one of two solutions.
I don't know what possessed the developers to separate the data partitions in KitKat (I know, for "performance reasons") but leave 1/2 a GB for it. Lower end phones these days give you twice that.
Over the past few years or so I've installed ROMs going back to ICS. 99% of the time there was absolutely no issue. I habitually do a (1) factory wipe, (2) dalvik wipe, (3) system format, (4) sdcard0 format, (5) install ROM zip, (6) install gapps, (7) wipe cache and (8) wipe dalvik.
In the hundreds of ROMs I've installed and tested, 1 or 2 were bad compiles, and everyone soon knew it. They were immediately removed from any host site. So, if you're having issues, (1) install you ROM as above, (2) perhaps install a smaller gapps, and/or (3) check that you're not overloading your phone from the PlayStore.
The last and rarest issue could be your phone, but rule of thumb that works 99% of the time is: (1) assume it's always your fault first, and (2) read, read, read, read, read.

Found the sprintdm bug, beanstown fixed it up for me
Going to flash this, love your work on layers. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this!
Edit: It booted, with a little bit of nostalgia, lollipop boot animation with a twist. nice! However it went straight into "android is optimizing" even after a clean flash. Will report back after I've played a little.

Did you make sure to wipe your caches? Coming from the factory image, you should mount your system in twrp, wipe it, wipe dalvik and dalik-caches and most likely data
I'm working on fixing the camera, didn't realize it was broken till I took a actual picture (I just loaded it up and checked but didn't take a picture)

? Android pay works by cts verification, people are having a hard enough time on even keeping it working on stock with root, it will be a long while till we get it on working on aosp.
Been running it for few hours now, no major bugs so far.
Missing the camera app in the rom tho.
Using snap camera and it is as good as the stock one

I remove old aosp apps since most people replace them with Google apps or equivalent, that includes aosp browser, MMS, and a few others which is pretty standard in aosp ROMs since the apps still look like ics (I kept gallery because quickpic was bought out)
