Test

Hello.
I just settle the cm.-12. I'm testing it. and I've got no problem superuser. have to skip the 1st settings because you have no keyboard, you'll settings and activate and configure and arranged. I keep trying. -The Zoom cam remains. (As in CM-11) -Do not let me install anything because I advised that I have no space on any partition, is false, I have two gb in every hole, did you three wipes data / cache / davil -cache, and still have all the folders in the CM-11, so do not let me install anything, I'll format the card and make the wipes again.
-After Format and partition the sd I keep saying there is no space, internally or externally but recognizes both and the huge space there is both internal and external looks, not let me install apps, anyone know how to fix this?

My thanks to those who made this great work.

@kostoulhs Lollipop uses more storage because of the way ART operates.
As AnandTech explains in a post from July 1st:
"The big paradigm-shift that ART brings, is that instead of being a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler, it now compiles application code Ahead-of-Time (AOT). The runtime goes from having to compile from bytecode to native code each time you run an application, to having it to do it only once, and any subsequent execution from that point forward is done from the existing compiled native code.

Of course, these native translations of the applications take up space, and this new methodology is something that has been made possible today only due to the vast increases in available storage space on today’s devices, a big shift from the early beginnings of Android devices."

Cheers

New Rom-Version

Hi,
is ist really necessary to install the new CWM and do we have to format the system?
I installed build 20141122 and have a huge battery drain. The settings show that the phone is always active. It is never in real Stand-By. In the CM 11 - Version for the I-8730 there was also a build that had this huge battery drain.
Am I the only one, who has it? I installed it correctly.

Thanks,

yFalcon

Low Storage possible fix

Hi @kostoulhs In reply to this message "I am trying to figure out why, all this weird thing with low storage happes, but only assumptions for now, any ideas?
Does this happen to everybody? "

I am on build 21/11/14 and I DID have the low storage message appear until I restored a backup of my apps using 'Helium' and rebooted, and since then i have not had this issue

Also, it would be great if you could try and add a screenshot function

sorry for my english
memory storage is full.
Play store doesn't install the app (Error -504).
Home button not working when screen is locked.

I also have the home button not working when device is locked may just be something with Android 5?
Also, I am not a Dev but this may help others answer this fully

But what version are you using? 21/11/14 or 22/11/14 <--- this one has many known bugs

Can you help me ?

Thanks a lot

With that baseband i obtain no sound with the cm 12 rom AND with the stock samsung rom.
The Nandroid backup doesen't restore my old baseband... what i have to do to restore it?

EDIT: I've restored my phone by downloading the stock firmware and flash it with odin 3.09

Upgrading ROM

Hey

I have actually CM11 if I want to install this I just have to backup/wipe and install from CWM?

not everything is translated in polish i upgraded from CM11 by Szezso...

Yes to install another ROM just go into recovery and data factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe delvik cache
Then the rest is just installing it
