Cant add a google account for some reason, used the latest opengapps pico package, it always says that google services has stopped
Yep, I already installed nano and have the same issue ... I'll check logat to see what is wrong here :confused:


Edit :

There is a issue on logcat :

AndroidRuntime: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.auth.uiflows.minutemaid.MinuteMaidActivity}: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: android.webkit.WebViewFactory$MissingWebViewPackageException: Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed

Here and here is what I found on google !

Really don't know why it happen !

With your logcat i was able to fix it.

Since CM does not come with Android System WebView pre-installed and the opengapps also doesnt install the WebSystem, i pulled the apk from google and sucessfully installed and now everything is working as it should be.

The ROM is suberb, many thanks surdu !

Everything's quite good. It has few hiccups here and there, but it doesn't affect the experience.

Update: CM File Manager cannot access the sdcard even when given root access.

I will provide more info and logcat within the day.

Thanks for your feedback !

I have not this issue on my RIO-L01, I can access on CM File Manager , "Internal shared storage" and "sdcard1" without issue and even not root ... so this cannot be a CM-14.1 issue :eek:


Excuse me sir, this ROM works also with the L03 version?
It should also works on your device, please let me to know your feedback ! Thanks !

Using it right now. Amazingly, it works better than cm13. It's fast, it's good looking and the location works flawlessly even with GPS turned off. Thing is that even both LEDs light up now (which used to happen only on stock), so this is pretty full fledged stable, almost complete OS from the first release. Fingerprint is not working for the moment, but I'm sure the GOAT developer @surdu_petru will find a way to make it work.

Amazing. Great work.

When someone calls me, the other person listens to himself. It is very annoying and does not allow fluent conversation.

Otherwise great, thank you very much

I just had some calls and I don't have this issue. People hear me perfectly. Try reinstalling after a clean wipe? Also, the stock open gapps seem to provide the best functionality. I know it replaces the dialer and the dialer framework so it might be worth a shot.
