[ROM][4.4.4][AOSP][{Un,}Official] CM11.0 (KitKat)

[Bobcus Leper]

uh oh!

The phone was running really well for a while, but today it went a bit haywire. When I was turning off the hotspot, it became unresponsive to the touch screen, and was also clicking things on it's own. I was eventually able to reboot, but then fell into a boot loop. It gets through one rotation of the Lineage loading Logo and then freezes and tries to reboot again.

I tried booting into safestrap and wiped the cache and dalvik, as well as installing the rom overtop without doing a data wipe, as has been recommended to others in this thread. But that didn't seem to have any affect.

Do I have any other recourse? Or should I just wipe and reinstall the Rom? Just got things tweaked the way I like it, don't really relish having to go through all the setup again.

Thanks.

Hi,
Try wiping everything but your data and then reflash the ROM.

Hi,
Try wiping everything but your data and then reflash the ROM.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up doing the factory reset wipe, then reflashed and that got me back up and running. This time I made sure to make a safestrap backup.

It seems like I enountered the quirk a few more times that led to the initial crash. A few times, when I was on the lock screen the touchscreen would become unresponsive and then go crazy auto clicking things. Maybe a delay, combined with the wrong rotation or something? In any case the problem only seems to occur when the phone is fully charged and still plugged in. When I'm experiencing the delay, if I unplug, it goes right away.

For now I have disabled the lock screen and the phone continues to work amazingly well on Lineage 11 :good:

Wondering if anyone has any tips for getting Caller ID to work properly? I'm pretty certain in my original install of this ROM it was properly displaying the Caller ID of an incoming call. On this fresh install though it doesn't seem to be working. When a call comes in it just says "Pay Phone - Unknown caller". If I click on the message icon to send the unknown caller a text, it goes to the person in the contact list who called. So it does know who called, just seems to be having trouble connecting the dialer with my contacts list. Appreciate any thoughts.

I read someone solved a similar sounding problem relating to the contact list being set to International calling? Not quite sure.

I found the problem it was when you have your contacts using international dial, the phone doesnt associate with your phone contact on recent call or history screen...sorry 4 my bad english. - rblanca - 13th May 2015, 09:49 AM |#1667

Snapchat doesn't currently work with the camera in CM11/lineageos, is there a fix so that it can record video? Currently using the 20170417 build.

No.



Well you're both in luck. I wanted a more functional keyboard ever since I got the D4. I think I posted all about it before. Anyway, I had to do updates to my method since updating to KitKat, and I'm willing to share. Here are my keychar and keylayout files, also in flashable zip form... (also includes a ringtone and notification tone) that I use whenever I update CM.

These might take some getting used to, there are quite a number of changes. I'll try to list them all here.

Caps Lock ---> Shift
Shift ---> Alt

ALT+e = 0x0301 = combining acute accent = turns e to é, o to ó, etc
ALT+i = 0x0302 = combining circumflex accent = turns e to ê, o to ô, etc
ALT+k = [
ALT+l = ]
ALT+SHIFT+K = {
ALT+SHIFT+L = }
ALT+n = 0x0303 = combining tilde = turns n to ñ, o to õ, etc
ALT+o = ~
ALT+p = |
ALT+r = $
ALT+u = 0x0308 = combining diaeresis = turns e to ë, o to ö, etc

ALT+SHIFT+U ... this one is special, it is unicode 0xEF00, but that doesn't really mean anything. But to Android, it will take the previous 4 characters and try to turn them into the unicode character for that. With knowledge of unicode you should be able to type any character you want with it. Lets say you wanted to type the copyright symbol, 0x00A9 ... you'd type "A9" then hit ALT+SHIFT+U and it'd turn into ©

ALT+0 = )
ALT+1 = !
ALT+2 = @
ALT+3 = #
ALT+4 = £
ALT+SHIFT+4 = ¥
ALT+5 = %
ALT+6 = ^
ALT+7 = &
ALT+8 = *
ALT+9 = (

ALT+, = <
ALT+. = >
ALT+/ = \
ALT+SHIFT+/ = |
ALT+' = `

lineage-11-20170417-UNOFFICIAL-maserati.zip: Mediafire (Private Mirror)
Older Builds on Mediafire

Build with Uber Toolchain 4.9

Changes from Upstream:
- New LineageOS Bootanimation
- Can be installed to Safe slot (Info & Source)
- Localized keypad layouts based on AsantiKeypad from XT897 (Source)
- April security patch commits included.

Changes from March build:
- Keypad layouts renamed from Asanti to Maserati

If you are on GSM Network, you still need the GSM Patch.
If you want to use Xposed, you need to flash this fix and use this Xposed Installer.
If you have problems with Swype in AOSP Keyboard flash this fix after Gapps. (Usually happens if you use gapps newer than 2014, should also help if you don't use any gapps)

Thanks ^-^



I forked both device trees on github: maserati and omap4-common.
To change bootanimation, just replace /vendor/cm/prebuilt/common/bootanimation/480.zip with bootanimation.zip from my build or generate it by yourself using this script based on android_vendor_cm.
To find and include latest commits, take a look on review.lineageos.org

This is probably the best daily driver 4.4 ROM for the droid4 and should have its own thread for visibility.
