[ROM][4.4.4][Stable] CyanogenMod 11 with CAF 3.0.31 kernel [February 18, 2015]

[matmh]

Update recovery to v1.0.0.6rc3 (flash attached img through fastboot).
You're s-off, so no need for smartflash option.
With your phone info you should be good to flash this rom.
I'd also suggest to install rom only, boot it and let it settle (wait until screen goes off).
Reboot to recovery and flash gapps.
Reboot and setup phone.

Flashed the recovery so it's v1.0.0.6 RC3 now. Didn't help at all. ROM woudn't start. Now I see only HTC logo, then black screen backlighted for a sec, lights off and HTC logo again in a loop.
1. So at first using 4EXT 1.0.0.6 RC2 I flashed ROM and GApps. Effect: CM animation never stopped.
2. Then I flashed only ROM. Effect: HTC logo, CM animation for a sec and HTC logo again in a never-ending loop.
3. I flashed Kernel 2.0.2 Aroma install with default settings. Effect: HTC logo, black screen backlighted for a sec, lights off, HTC logo again in a loop.
Now no matter what I do, can't get to CM animation. I've even tried to flash my previous working ROM (well perhaps not the exact build, because I couldn't remember which one I've had) and still nothing...

EDIT:
I've managed to successfully flash different ROM. However, I had to flash kernel through fastboot. Before I did that, the issue was exactly the same.
Now I remembered. During updating 4EXT to v1.0.0.6RC2, I was asked if the device is S-ON or S-OFF. Because I didn't remember that, I left the option S-ON. That means SmartFlash was ON. Is it possible that it could cause all these issues?
I'll get back to trying to flash CM11 in a few days.

now that PA GAPPS has been discontinued does anyone have any advice on how to proceed with updating google apps?

are there other GAPPS compatible with a old PA GAPPS installation?

can this be installed over PA GAPPS or do I have to redo with a clean setup?

IS there anyway to completely remove PA GAPPS?

Hdmi/fast charge

Anyone who can fix hdmi? I wanted to play games/movies in my tv. Hopefully hdmi can be fix. And also why fast charge is disabled? We all knew that this rom eats battery a lot and the only way to supersede the badness is to enable the fast charge. Mabuhay sultan! Greetings from philippines.

Yes you can:
Step 1. Copy .zip to sdcard or internal storage
Step 2. Boot into recovery
Step 3. Flash .zip
Step 4. Wipe dalvik & cache
Step 5. Reboot system and bask in all your glory!

I don't think wiping caches will remove the files in /system installed by PA GApps. To remove them extract the PA GApps zip on your computer, see what it copied and remove the files (do a nandroid backup before). The flash the other gapps of your choice. You could also write your own gapps removal script to speed up the process and make a flashable zip. Feel free to post your tested outcome

hello,

I want to the mirroring with chromecast on my sensation but when I install this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/har...experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 , I have the message: "it seems that your rom is lacking the audio_submix.file"

do you think it's possible to add it manually or in the next release?

merci

Hi,
do you have any new info about using chromecast with this rom? Does mirroring now work? And what about the other functions of chromecast?

Does anyone else have a chromecast?

First a big thankyou to Sultanxda for his hard work and contributions.

Just sharing my experience. I used the suggested minimal Gapps in the link above. After flashing the Feb 2015 version and the Gapps, the AOSP keyboard kept crashing and I was not able to type or use the back button. Here's what I did to resolve the issue. I did a search for Gapps and discovered this . I searched for the latest 4.4.4 Gapps. Turns out to be 16 June 2014. The file is around 150MB. After installing the AOSP keyboard now works. I allowed the updates i.e. Google Play and Google Play Services etc since there has been a few updates since June 2014.

Must say that this version of the ROM is better than the Jan version. For a start the keyboard is more responsive. I found the earlier version not as responsive. I also like the home screen fix. Previously there's a choice of Trebuchet or Google Now.

Just my 2 cents. Trust this helps someone out there who may have similar issues with installing the Feb version.

My girlfriend use my old sensation with this ROM atm. She complain about uploading photos to instagram don't work while on mobile network, is this ROM related?

 

[Kameo]

I don't think so, i can't see how this can be related to the rom.
Does it work on wifi or not (poor mobile network transfer might be the problem) ?

 

[bovineuniversity]

I think it is the IG client..

I have had this rom for several months now. Instagram wouldn't work on it, then they updated their client and it worked. Then another update broke it, then another fixed it.... as it sits now, uploading photos doesn't work for me. Best thing to do is to get one that works then not auto-update, or use Titanium backup and roll it back to a 'good' version if they break it again.

Still problems with battery drain?

Still problems with battery drain?

Yup. Disabling Google Play services didn't help a lot.

I've just flashed this ROM with no troubles using 4ext 1.006 (latest RC) and smartflash for an S-ON rooted sensation but I'm having issues with bluetooth. I can try turning it on but it resets back to off after a few seconds and I have no indication bluetooth has started.

Ordinarily I wouldn't be bothered but I want to use this phone as a telemetry readout for my FPV quadcopters

Any ideas? Kernal troubles?

It could be kernel issues but we can't just help if you don't tell us what your firmware is and also since you don't provide a logcat.
You could always search the thread to see if other people are having issues.

It seems the only way is to downgrade google play services to an older version. OR the ROM gets updated with the cm fix in gerrit.

GPS - Weaker Signal?

Noticed that GPS is weaker when compared to the earlier version. While driving, I seem to loose GPS signal more frequently. Otherwise this version is smoother and would say battery life is better. Kudos to Sultan for this wonderful ROM.

I installed after doing a full wipe.

Just my 2 cents.
