CM11 upadeter

Hi,

Just for i want to be sure...

I want to update CM11 on my Galaxy Y with the built-in updater, but the updater says download failed. SD card and RAM is low on space. Am i right that this can cause the failure, and when i put in a SD card with enough free space, it will work?
I want to update to the latest nightly, for the wake lag fix :)

Thanks for any replies!

- First of all this i any stock or stock based ROM. I it still in the process of development. There is a some or the other lag here and there. Lags also depend on your usage(of course :) )
-Calls work seamlessly. But there is a lag of about 3-5 sec (in the latest update) in the popping up of call screen .
- Google play works only when you install gapps which can be done after installing ROM. ( preferable @bhargav 's gapps)
- Reboots are some time common esp. when ram is almost full. Again it depends on you usage. At start you may have random reboots but they stop.
- Well as I think it is quite usable for daily usage....

Do press thanks if i helped you... :D

I am using xposed. Now what shohould I do to regain delta updates???
Restore the original app_process in system/bin and you're good to go. Then, after flashing the update, open Xposed Installer & set it up again..

About Xposed, in my experience, you can use more than 3 modules without a problem.

TuneIn Radio

Anyone else having trouble getting the latest version of TuneIn Radio (12.8) to play? The app runs, but the playback screen never loads and obviously no playback. Just wondering if anyone is able to make it work. The previous version works well though.
 
how to clear RAM in cm11 ...just like in stock

CM11 doesn't have Task Manager like stock rom for our device. Simply hold home button and clear recent, so running apps will be close. Hope this helping. :fingers-crossed:

People seem to ignore the text on my threads, so I'll mention it again: simple2ext_mod requires you to use ext4 format. Using ext3 or ext2 format may cause data corruption.

Sorry for interupting. :silly: My phone wont detect any /sd-ext in CWM if i create ext3 or ext4. I think my SD seem weird. :confused: Im using 4GB class 4. Now im using ext2, linked by simple2ext_mod and everything work well.

Call screen delay haven't disappeared

Hi,

I have suffered from the call screen delay on incoming calls on my Galaxy Y, and i have read there, that the call screen lag disappeared after a recent (2014-11-12 or so) nightly CM update. I want to report that the lag is still there, i have tested today. I have now the 11-20141122-NIGHTLY-totoro version. Here many users reported that the lag disappeared at their Y's.

The same as described above by DinethIrusha... :S Not that 1-2s delay what comes from the slow CPU and we have expected, but a massive 8-10s delay between the call sound and ringing screen on incoming call.

Has anyone a solution for this? Or just another job for Psyke83? :)

Thanks, :)

As far as I know, pyske83 only fix screen delay from lock screen. Not from call.

Thanks for help :)

For me, for the lag on incoming call screen, is much better when setting the I/O scheduler to deadline, setting CPU governor do Ondemand, and disable KSM, and disable memory freeing. The delay now is 3-5s, which is much better than the original 10s. When not locked, and having a call, it takes 2-3s to the call screen appear, so from lock the 3-5s is not bad.
But i think it can be faster, when some software optimization is done... Am i right?

I downgraded my device from CM11-11-22-2014 to CM9.2(first time to install on my device), CM9.2 is 2x faster than CM11. I can't use this as a daily rom because of the audio routing bug. We need developers to port audio libs from cm11, I tried putting the driver to CM9.2 but no luck. We're very happy to see Stable CM9.2 and CM11 on Galaxy Y. Stable ANDROID 4 on galaxy y. :p
BTW, the latest nightly CM11 is very good. Screen wake is still not yet perfect. INCallui delay is less but it is still not perfect, sometimes the device's screen is not waking up.

    Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-0-Users-Get-a-Taste-of-Android-4-4-Thanks-to-CyanogenMod-11-414700-2.jpg

    For Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 (totoro)

    Code:
    * Your warranty is now void.
     * Me / CM / AndroidARMv6 Team are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at any of us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
     * Collectively, and at the same time.

    Hello everybody.. Our lovely Galaxy Y S5360 (totoro) has been added to official AndroidARMv6 branch and is now running CyanogenMod 11, Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Samsung stopped any further updates for this device and now the devs will develop it further.
    The ROM is stable enough for daily use, this thread is created to have discussions related to CM11 totoro.
    Thanks to all the devs for developing this, lets build together for this device!

    About CyanogenMod:

    CyanogenMod is an enhanced open source firmware distribution for smartphones and tablet computers based on the Android mobile operating system. It offers features and options not found in the official firmware distributed by vendors of these devices. Get more information on CyanogenMod Wiki.

    Brief Information:
    The ROM is stable enough for daily use. Most of the bugs have been sorted out, but some are yet to be fixed. Me and other devs are regularly working on it so don't ask for ETAs and don't ever think of writing to Fix this or Fix that. This thread is only for information and discussion about the ROM. So, it depends on you whether you choose to flash the builds or not. The ROM is now OTA supported and Nightlies are being released.

    Whats working, Whats not?:
    If you came here, its your prime duty to go through all the posts and check out whats working whats not OR you can check the DEV thread here.

    Links:
    Recovery: ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.3
    ROM: Latest OTA supported totoro builds.
    Gerrit Code Review: AndroidARMv6 code review.

    Installing Instructions: (Its highly recommended to strictly follow the below given instructions to avoid any problems during installation of ROM or Recovery)
    • Download the Recovery from above provided link. Either .zip Or .tar.md5. Your choice.
    • Download the Full OTA build from above provided link.
    • Boot into Stock Recovery and flash the recovery you downloaded (.zip). Or if you have problems with .zip package, you can manually flash the .tar.md5 package via Odin.
    • After flash, reboot into New Recovery.
    • Perform a Full data and cache wipe.
    • Now flash the OTA ROM package, then Reboot.

    Version Information:
    OS Version: Android 4.4.4 KitKat
    Based On: CyanogenMod 11
    ROM Status: NIGHTLY

    I see a lot of flaming going on here, so I feel that some clarification is needed.

    First of all, this talk of "not having permission" is nonsense. Any code that I have submitted inherits the license of the parent project, and I have not changed any licenses for projects that I forked. I am not withholding anything, and I am not trying to prevent anyone from having access to the code. The androidarmv6 project is a collaborative project in which anyone can participate and contribute.

    What I actually requested - as a courtesy - was for users not to test the Jenkins builds yet.

    The Jenkins build server is owned by my friend @erikcas (one of the original androidarmv6 founders), and he graciously allows its use by myself and the other core members of the team. The server is used to provide stable builds for supported devices to the public, but it is also used by developers to test code changes (i.e. the android-experimental or submission-test builds). Normally, these builds are usually focused on testing only one specific change. The build can be completely broken apart from the one change that needs to be tested... and for a developer, that's no problem. We know what to expect from a particular build - what should work and what shouldn't. However, when random users start flashing these builds, without any knowledge of the functional status the build has, things can be chaotic.

    It takes >3 hours to run a build on my laptop (and my machine becomes practically unusable during that time). Jenkins can do the same job in forty minutes... and this greatly helps me with development. But what I don't like is that it exposes all of those builds (that are clearly not ready for wider usage) to the public.

    If I didn't explain it well enough, here are some more reasons not to flash builds from Jenkins:
    • Because you'll piss me off. This is my hobby... something done in my free time for a bit of fun (and practice with programming). When you start ignoring my instructions/requests, and start spamming my PMs or development topics with silly questions, it just makes me want to stop working on the project altogether. Have some respect for your developers, please.
    • You're wasting Jenkin's server bandwidth. The test builds are only supposed to be downloaded once by the developer to test a specific change.
    • Builds are extremely unstable and not ready to be used. Even if you get it working and it doesn't damage your phone, you will be severely disappointed in performance and features.
    • Basic features are not working, such as telephony and audio. Someone once tried to blame me for not being able to call an ambulance in an emergency situation (they had flashed one of my alpha builds for another device in which I specifically warned that the microphone was broken).

    Having said all that, I'm not going to lose sleep if people ignore my requests and test the builds - as long as such talk is kept here in the general thread.
    26
    A reminder: unannounced experimental builds that you may see on Jenkins are made by and for developers alone, and are definitely not suitable to be flashed by users. The cm12 totoro build from today doesn't install or boot, and I expect many future builds will be the same, so don't waste your time with it.

    Also, a reminder of some things you shouldn't do (now or ever): don't ask for ETAs, don't spam the dev thread, and don't PM me asking for information that isn't on a public post.

    There are many things that need to be fixed for armv6 devices. I've sorted out the major issues specific to Broadcom hardware, but there are more important issues that need solving for ARMv6 devices in general that are being working on by several people (assembly errors, ART compatibility, build system integration, etc.). It's going to take time. Thanks for your understanding.

    You better buy Galaxy Ace 3. The price is dropped. My sister bought the phone for $150.

    Sent from my GT-S5830i using Tapatalk 2

    I would agree with this sentiment in general. Nobody should willingly buy an ARMv6 device, especially considering that you can get newer budget devices with ARMv7 chipsets for reasonable prices. $150 still seems too expensive to me, though. Perhaps it's harder to get bargains on prepay phones in the USA compared to Europe. As an example, Vodafone were selling their Vodafone Smart III for €40 recently (and I missed that offer, unfortunately).

    I didn't even buy the Galaxy Y that I use for development - it was left abandoned in a field! My sister happened to stumble upon it, and later gave it to me. When I managed to get it working (as it originally refused to turn on or charge, possibly due to water damage) I decided to develop CM11 on it just for a bit of fun.

    News: tonight's OTA now includes the new wifi driver (with further stability improvements over the version that was in the experimental build). If you're still testing the experimental build, I recommend that you switch back to the regular OTA build.

    Please keep an eye on wireless functionality and let me know if there are any problems with the new driver. Thanks.
