CM11 and Bluetooth Low Energy

Hi,
I installed CM11 a few days ago & I have to say that after not using CM on any of my devices for a while I am really impressed.
I didn't think there would be much benefit over the moto rom as it was so close to stock, but this is really something.
I have noticed today however when trying to install the fitbit app I got a message saying BLE has problems in android 4.x, thought this was a bit strange as I never had any issues on the moto rom. But there is no sync at all.
A quick google tells me that BLE isn't supported in CM. I have tried the following suggested fix http://ruidacosta.com/2014/01/06/bluetooth-le-with-cm11-on-razr-m/ which is said to work on the razrM but no such luck.
So just wanted to ask about the status of BLE, is it not supported, will it be included in the future, is there any other work arounds?

I'm really loving this rom so it would be a shame to have to go back to the moto rom just to use my fitbit, but obviously it's important when it's something I refer to several times throughout the day.

Thanks

Motorola & Co. are using a proprietary profiles as far as I know. I guess it is highly unlikely to come to CM anytime soon. I don't know any workaround and I can't test it neither (I don't have any BLE device). Maybe you can raise your question on the Cyanogenmod G+ page. They are usually pretty quick with replies.

The "Show Clock" setting under Setting > Interface > Status Bar

Whenever i untick it to hide the clock then lock the screen, the clock re-appears.

OK so I'm still a little new to all this but I did successfully unlock the boot loader and install cwm with root now all I want to do is install cm11. So just to clarify all I do is flash the latest nightly update (clean flash) through cwm and I'm set right ?

Yeah, basically. It's always good to wipe cache before and after to minimize errors. So you should:

Boot into recovery
Backup (optional)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Install zip of cm11
Wipe cache
Reboot

You should be sorted :)

Yes, just clean /data /system /cache and flash the rom and Google Apps (that includes Google Play Store and other Google Apps).

Is there a way in cm to hide the status bar only? I got the immersive mode or how it's called but it hides navigation bar too. Any help would be nice thanks.

Xposed framework has a module called GravityBox that supports semi-immersive mode. I am not sure if that is what you are looking for but I can imagine that Xposed has a module for what you are looking for even if GravityBox isn't the right one. Good luck :)

Didn't want to use xposed but we'll see. Thanks for your help.

No problem, since it's not supported by cyanogenmod your only chance to get it is via Xposed or something similar... Sorry :/

GPS is generally working for me. But it regularly looses GPS fix when car navigating though it sees enough satellites. Does anybody else see this bug? Stock Rom never lost GPS signal.

Has anyone tried using CM with ART on any of the recent nightly builds? How did it work for you?

Thanks.
It should be working. However, keep in mind that it is only experimental and it might break with future updates. That means that your device might get stuck in a bootloop or applications crash. So if you want to use it you can and it should work in 95% without flaws.
