CM12 dead space on launcher screen

Installed this shakeout looks great!
I have unusable screen real estate on the left and right sidesnof the launcher is this normal?

Resolution and DPI changes in lollipop

With root enabled you can use ResUI from the themes and apps section and DPI changer from the play store. You have to have root enabled for the changes to take effect I believe.

If u make ur grid size custom and scroll down so its the largest, a 9x8 I believe, it uses most of it

ROM Pershoot TF701T 20150227 testing results

so, since I have less than 10 posts, this will automatically be put in the wrong Q&A section. Anyway, I'm running Pershoot's new TF701T Rom 20150227 and want to give some feedback since I also ran the prior version. If an OP would kindly take this restriction off so I can actually post in the correct thread...

This version is much more responsive than the 20150205 Rom. I am using this Rom with Google Keyboard to type this voice message! Everything seems to run very smooth YouTube is good. WiFi is quick, internet and embedded videos are great! Google Apps work fine. Almost 24 hours now and no slow down, battery use is normal and it barely uses any power during sleep.

The only thing I see missing is screen mirroring. Until that is implemented, it can't be a daily user for me. I have not tested GPS yet, & I wonder about the Nvidia specific drivers for the Tegra 4. I do not play games much and have not had a chance to test that either. All in all, it seems like a very stable base!

Miracast & Screen casting

Any idea when screen casting will be implemented? I have been playing with the latest build and all seems great! The settings menu is quite confusing and took forever to find the keyboard settings... I also find it difficult to find other settings that are common in prior Android versions. Is there anyway to keep the KitKat version of settings? ?

getting there... CM 12 testing

okay, so I'm using the current cm 12 20150309. I actually get to enable miracast and see receiving devices but I cannot connect to them. I have tried with a LC Smart TV and a Roku streaming stick which neither will connect. Also, the stock 442 version will only connect to the lc tv and not the streaming stick... the Roku is still in beta just to let you know.

this is also getting posted in the wrong thread again! hopefully the OP will recognize this and I don't think that is even recognizing that this is the third posting of mine! My posts are not getting counted...

 

[pershoot]

i've enabled wifi display and protected buffers support for it (also enabled in the CM11 build); ensure its checked (in casting; wireless display). i have no way to test. you'd need to post logs and i'll see what i can do, or submit a patch which sorts it out to gerrit, against the known working device.

more testing... 20150311

Once again I am using the latest cm build with Google keyboard to voice type this message. this build is definitely quick and responsive and miracast or screencasting is almost functional. I have tried about a hundred combinations of settings on both receiving devices and this tablet without success. Also I noticed that I cannot connect to an external Bluetooth speaker without the launcher crashing when trying to use the volume keys. The Bluetooth speaker will connect but there is no sound and it crashes the launcher. Seems to me as a buffering or memory allocation issue since both devices want to connect but cannot finalize the handshake.

Let me know what the easiest way to pull log files off of this tablet is and I will see what I can help with... ???

 

[pershoot]

Take note of the 'Known Issues' (on DB), and you will see the workaround for the Bluetooth issue (un-select Phone Audio on the device's BT settings).

Pull a logcat while trying to connect to a known working Miracast device and post it.

Thx.

Howdy strangers...!

So, I am just playing around with Pershoot's new cm 12 OS and I am wondering why hundreds of people view this thread and nobody contributes! There must be many more people out there that can provide debugging and log information than just me! Let's all work together and get this done ASAP! Don't be intimidated to contribute to this thread! We need all the input everybody has on everything!?

20150313 miracast log

Here is the log file... Tried to connect miracast to the LG TV 3 times in different ways. Also, the stock browser has no upload options for attaching documents to XDA posts. I got my Bluetooth speaker working... Thanks!!!

I do not know why this log file ended up having such a long name but it is the original file.

20150313 miracast log for Roku

Here is the log file for trying to connect miracast to the Roku streaming stick. I tried 3 times and it tries to connect then the roku immediately goes back to the home screen. Thanks!

more casting info

I have a verizon wireless galaxy s4 that connects to both the LG TV and the Roku streaming stick just fine running the latest stock 442. The latest stock version 11. 4.1. 29 for this tablet will only connect to the LG TV after numerous tries but not the Roku. ?

 

[pershoot]

I haven't looked at your log as of yet. but please only post the one from the device that is known working against stock.

Please also post a log from stock of it working.

Thx.

Just noticed this week while I was away that when a USB is plugged into the dock everything works however there is no notification that it is plugged in and there is no way to eject it. Also if you close the dock while it is plugged in and then open it it tells you that it was not safely removed. I am not sure if that is stock behavior or not and it is not really an issue if I could eject it properly.

Turn off MTP and you should get eject options in storage.

pick up 3/15 and you'll get the extended options for USB in storage.
