Hey! thank you for your work! I just recently got an S2, and I love cyanogenmod. However, I tried installing the 2014-08-18 nightly, and I got a status(7) Installation aborted. set_metadata_recursive failed. I used to dev back in the day as well, and I know it has something to do with updater scripts. So I just wanted to give you a heads up! Thank you for your work again!

EDIT: I just tried the liquid smooth rom, and the same thing happened, it's probably just my device, I will investigate

EDIT EDIT: Did some research got it working, again, thank you for all of your great work!

Which recovery were you using? What ended up being the problem?

 

[torch2424]

Which recovery were you using? What ended up being the problem?

Um I was using the Agat recovery, I followed this guys guide(After following his rooting guide) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W-1FPfgclM

What ended up being the problem, is that I've never had a phone where every rom and kernel install an entirely new recovery, so I didn't understand that and messed some thing up, but I solved the problem by simply installing the blasphemy kernel, rebooting into recovery for the new recovery, and then installing this rom. Which I must say, is very sleek and smooth, much props the CM team and the dev!

@dastin1015 You're utterly amazing! :good::good::good::good::good:

 

[Linux guy]

Thanks dastin. Everybody make sure you're running the latest cwm recovery. Search first.

 

[torch2424]

Yo! by the way, I don't know if it's my device or kit kat, but I've tried liquid smooth and this rom, and for some reason everything displays kinda blurry, or like low res on the screen. Is it because my dpi is too high or low? or is it a setting I gotta switch. Hopefully someone can help me out here, thanks!

P.S this is my first time with a "higher-end" phone, and I'm extremely excited to be finally be using kit kat

Haha 'higher end' ^ ^
What is your DPI? Should be around 220. make it lower. Peeps like 182 for this phone.

 

[HulkSmashBurgers]

Is restoring apps + data still not recommended, like with Liquid Smooth?

You can do it if you want, but if you get issues that's a start of some of your woes

 

[torch2424]

Well its "higher end" to me haha. All my previous phones have been single core with very little ram. So experiencing dual cores on android is mind blowing to me haha.

And does CM11 has built in DPI settings? Or should I just get closed and do it?


One last question to everybody. The battery has been acting very wonky for me. It was charging really slow, and once it was fully charged I was playing with it for about an hour, and I lost not that much percent. Then I re booted it, and I only had 5% . is this normal for kitkat? Is the ROM or my phone?

 

[THIRSTY GNOMES]

LTE is still listed as Recommended when you go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network type


Otherwise newest nightly build is alot snappier! Keep on the good work man!

That's normal. I flashed the August 19 nightly over Villuminati and my battery dropped from 70% to 20%. Just charge it back up; the battery will stabilize in a day or two.

 

[AndyYan]

Ah hell yeah, CM11 going official soon after grabbing my own E4GT
Not gonna flash it though - with this 4.5' screen, I'd like to use CM11 in 320DPI glory, yet Exynos 4210 just lags under that configuration (tried in Villuminati). Sticking to CM10.2, but still huge thanks for bringing this over!

Oh, BTW, in case anyone wants to see what *my* configuration looks like, do these:
1. Change "ro.sf.lcd_density" from 240 to 320 in /system/build.prop.
2. (optional) Add a line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" in the same file. This gives you on-screen nav buttons. If you do this, remember to turn capacitive key backlight off in Settings-Buttons.
3. Open Terminal Emulator. Commands:
su
wm size 768x1280
reboot
DONE - E4GT is now a Nexus 4, though MUCH slower

Got a weird issue. My phone was rebooting randomly, and my battery spun like a top...so I replaced it. Now with this new battery its still randomly rebooting, but not as bad. If I used my phone with that bad battery long enough, could that hurt my phone?

BBQ Log Kinda Wonky

http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#/d710/

I like using the bbq app to follow along what is going on, it seems kind of wonky. The CM 11 nightlies are not showing up as next nightly yet. Is there something someone needs to do to "reset" the page or will it just straighten itself out as more nightlies get built?

Thanks!

By chance, do you use ANKR? I bought ANKR batteries and they reboot all the time but the battery doesn't spin yet.

Double-Tap To Sleep & Go To Sleep Commands

I've been running earlier versions of this ROM since early 2014 and love it. The latest "Nightly" (08-20) seems to be working fine on my E4GT. I do have two questions, both relating to making my device work a little better in absence of a working physical "Power Button".

1. Can anyone report success or failure of utilizing the Status Bar "Double-Tap To Sleep" function? I've been trying to use it after each update of this ROM and can never seem to get it working. The Status Bar "Brightness Control" sliding gesture works fine, but not the "Double-Tap To Sleep" gesture. I was concerned that my use of Nova Launcher might be the cause, so I tested the function using both the Trebuchet and Google Now Launchers, but experienced the same problem. I'd appreciate any feedback or guidance on this issue.

2. One of the nice CM11 features is the "Go To Sleep" tile that can be found in the "Notification Drawer" Tiles, as well as being added to the Notication Screen Ribbon. What I'm looking for is the name and/or location of the file/command that initiates this "Go To Sleep" function. I'm looking for this as I'd like to assign Home Screen Shortcut and/or Nova Launcher Gesture to activate the "Go To Sleep" command, without having to pull down the Notification Screen. Nova Launcher allows you to assign "Activities" to virtually any command that can be found in your system file structure. However, I can not find the "Go To Sleep" command. If someone can point me to where that file/command is located and/or advise me of the file's name with the system, I'd really appreciate it.

As a side note... I know (and have) many apps and widgets that can switch off the display with a screen touch. However, all of them that I've tried not only turn off the screen, but also immediately lock it, as well (which I do not want to do in this case). The CM11 "Go To Sleep" command is the only one I've found that will turn of the display, but NOT lock my system.

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance you can provide!

I've noticed a couple tantalizing mentions of "soft reboot" recently, as integrated into the power reboot menu. The first link mentions the S4 specifically, but the second doesn't. It's not in our current build, so does that mean it's really only for that one family? Or maybe it just takes more time to make its way around?

@drk65, I could have sworn that the double-tap to sleep worked in the build a few weeks ago, but you're right that it doesn't work in the current one, so now I'm not sure if I imagined it or just forgot the trick to it.

 

[frankx85]

hang after first reboot.

I wipe and install from a CWM recovery and everything is fine until I decide to reboot my device. Then I hang at Galaxy S2 screen.
My last rom was CM 10.1


Anyone have an idea what might be happening?
