Dear followers of this ROM,

in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.

This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development

The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.

The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."

This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I download and install this ROM
5. Questions about ETA, etc

Cool!! I'll try it today.:good:

Quick other question. Do you happen to know if it is possible in kitKat to show which Profile is selected?
I created some profiles (day/Night/Work etc) But There no widget or something to show what's active at that time?
Yeah I know. But what i'd like is an icon in the statusbar or on the homescreen. :D
Having Profiles active, it is possible to add a "profile" tile in Quick Tiles and that will show you the current profile and also allows for quick change to another profile

Problem with Halo

Good morning,

In principle everything is fine with this rom on my phone. There is only one thing that didn't work and that's the Halo notification.
In most of the time the phone runs with the extended screen so I can't see the notification bar. In this case Halo would be a realy nice way to get the notification.

* Halo is enabled
* The policy is set to "White list policy"
* Some apps (like GMail or Outlook) are set to the "White list policy"

but there is no Halo notification.

Any hint? Any tip? Or is this a known bug?

Thanks a lot

Christian

Okay it seems that there is an general issue with Halo. Maybe just on my phone...?!?
I've disabled Halo and the special button in upper line of notification drawer didn't show up.

Well, it looks to me that one question is hanging out here - Dear Santa, will it be some candies for us on 2.16? Was good last year. ;)

Востани Сербие, востани царице
2.16 support built fine and is in the hands of testers now.

I have one kind request to anyone using this ROm or even if using any KK ROM. I've noticed that when I start a call, mobile data switches from H/H+ to 3G. I didn't noticed that before but now I've tested on 3 ROMs (Beanstalk, Twisted and CandyKat) and on all is doing the same. I even wiped everything and installed CandyKat clean without even GAPPS. I got an H+ mobile data icon and as soon as I made a call and the call was connected the icon changed to 3G. I really don't know what to try. Anyone can confirm this?

for me I've noticed this since the start of kitkat but not just during calls, for me when ever my phone is not currently sending or receiving data it drops to 3g but as soon as it needs data it goes back to h+. i just always assumed this was a battery saving feature not a bug.

I've tested now with Viper 3.1.3 and it's the same so is not related to KK. As soon as the call is connected, it goes to 3G...I'm driving crazy. A friend with a stock Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini doesn't have that...it stays on H/H+ all the time. Tried build.prop edits, different radios, different ROMs, dunno what else to try. I'm out of ideas

No, not for me. The friend with the Samsung is on the same carrier with me... I didn't tried different firmware but I bet it's not that either. I am on 1.06 and for sure you have 2.15 or something

Really loving this ROM. I have no issues besides an occasional random reboot.

Anyone got an idea what may cause it??

I'm on hboot 2.15 and radio 1.20.
