Please check the stability of the nightlies before flashing or updading: http://tinyurl.com/noobdevFebruary CM has been merging some problematic commits lately.

The noobdev team is proud to present its noobdev CyanogenMod nightlies! This ROM is pure unmodified CyanogenMod with additional useful features, such as IR and app2sd support, as well as other device specific fixes and features. If you want me to add a specific commit or feature, just leave a post here.

Huge thanks to all the developers that made this possible and also the donators for supporting this ROM!

Enjoy!

Features:

Instructions:

  1. Flash CM 11.0 and the gapps below.
  2. Clear /data and /cache if you are coming from another ROM.
  3. Reboot.

Dual boot instructions:



[LINK] DualBootUtilities zip
[LINK] Dual Boot Enabler/Disabler
[LINK] Dual Boot Switcher app
[LINK] Gapps for secondary ROM

NOTE: Before you do anything, download the DualBootUtilities zip and dual-boot enabler/disabler zips to your SD card. They'll really come in handy if something doesn't work right ;)

1. Download the Dual Boot Switcher app and install it.
2. Open the app and set the current kernel as the primary kernel (screenshot)
3. Remove some bloatware with Titanium Backup or convert some system apps to user apps (ChatON, WatchON, S Health, Chrome) with this app Stock TouchWiz + this ROM will not fit on the /system partition
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Flash DualBootEnable.zip
6. Flash a >= 20130908 build of this ROM
7. Flash the dual boot Gapps above
8. Reboot
9. Install the Dual Boot Switcher app again in the secondary ROM
10. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT: Please don't use the recovery's built-in wiping features. Use the zip files in the "helpful zips" instead.

How do I...?

  • Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
    • Flash DualBootUtilities.zip. You will get a menu allowing you to switch to the primary or secondary ROM.

  • Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
    • Flash DualBootUtilities.zip. You will get a menu that lets to wipe the respective partitions for either the primary or the secondary ROM.
    • It's important to not use the recovery's built-in wiping functions because they may delete files needed for the secondary ROM.

  • Update the primary ROM?
    • Edit META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script so that it does not format /system or /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 (because the 16th partition is /system)
    • Flash DualBootUtilities.zip before updating the ROM and choose Wipe Primary /system. If the primary ROM is AOSP-based, you will need to reflash Gapps.
    • Make sure to set the kernel as primary in the dual boot switcher app

  • Update the secondary ROM (this ROM)?
    • Just flash the update as usual :)

  • Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
    • Just flash it :)
    • If it's a custom kernel, make sure you set it in the dual boot switcher app.

Yeah, that must be specific to jfltexx. I just tried taking about 20 pictures and a few videos and I didn't get any FCs.

By the way, I'm using the CM camera. I didn't try the one from the Google Edition i9505G.

    I just merged the 4947-line mega patch for the feature I hinted at earlier :D https://github.com/chenxiaolong/hud...e-dialer/0001-Open-source-Google-Dialer.patch

    I spent the last two days reverse-engineering the Google Dialer and I'm happy to say we now have a working open-source implementation of it! Because my implementation is open-source, it is built into the CyanogenMod dialer, meaning you don't lose any features, like call blocking.

    Prerequisites:

    You need to have a Google Apps package installed for the Nearby Places and Caller ID features to work. For those who don't use Google Apps, the dialer will continue to work as before.

    WILL YOU FINALLY ANSWER MY QUESTION AND RESPOND, PLEASE!! WHAT ARE U COMPARING YOUR EXPERIENCE TO? WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT???? WHAT LAG, WHAT STUTTER!?! WHAT KIND OF DEVICE ARE YOU COMPARING YOUR EXPERIENCE TO!?

    You really have to start to elaborate on what it is you are CONSTANTLY complaining about. You, the man on top of all cherry picks and commits should know that we have an in rom screen recorder now....

    SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE CONSTANTLY *****ING ABOUT. SHOW US THIS LAG, THIS HORRIBLE, LIFE RUINING, MUST HAVE BETTER, MIND BLOWING, BUTTERY SMOOTH THING YOUR SAD, CLOSED LIFE DESIRES.

    Your immature, feed me attitude is ruining the experience for other users.

    PRODUCE SOMETHING. A log cat, definitive evidence, A DONATION, anything!!!!!

    If you can't, just stfu, this isn't a complaint thread for the inept. This is a development thread. If you have some OCD or some kind of perfectionism issue, see a therapist. Leave KT and this thread alone, you contribute ZERO.

    An hero, please.

    To clarify the problem and hopefully ease tensions....

    In Android 4.4 just about everything is a improvement. The only main issue that we've noticed is that Google basically screwed over the stock browser and webkit. They plan on phasing it out soon and using Blink most likely or switching Android to include Chrome by default. Because of that, there are many new issues and performance issues with Stock Browser / Webkit. As far as if there's anything that can fix it, there is most likely nothing any dev's for CM or maintainers of this ROM can do, as it's a upstream problem with Google. Maybe they'll fix it in the upcoming 4.4.1 release that's been spotted across the web. May not. Either way it's out of their hands. If this is really such a huge issue that makes your phone unusable, then Android 4.3.1 is the way to go, or earlier. Given also CyanogenMod11 / 4.4 is still in pretty much Alpha form, and the fact that CyanogenMod lost many developers for Samsung between both Samsung's policy against modding, and the larger drama involved with so call "commercialization" of CyanogenMod, our devices are not as well maintained as they once were, so it will take longer for 4.4 to become stable on these vs 4.3 and 4.2. (Reason why I'm selling my S4 and just picked up a Nexus 5...)

    Now. Onward to your specific case @iamnotkurtcobain You've been helpful in this thread. However, constantly complaining about the lag does not help when others cannot reproduce it. Most people here use Chrome, and what stock browser experience they have seems normal. We would need a logcat of this issue, or better yet with screen recording a option now, a video or something of this behavior. I understand you're complaining about Google, and being nice to everyone in this thread and not blaming the dev's or anything, but it creates a somewhat negative vibe about something no one can do anything about (Perhaps overall because of a upstream issue, most definitely nothing without a logcat or a video). If you show me something specific I can even test it on my Nexus 5 to see if it's a specific problem with the S4 or not as well. Just we need _something_ to go on. The reason why everyone here seems to be "jumping out" at you is because of their frustration. They want to help you, after all that's what this thread and XDA is all about in general. Helping. They just need the tools/details from you to help figure it out or at least try to. I am sure if you posted a video detailing the problem with a logcat everywhere would be fine and happy.
