Hey guys, newbie on the forum. I was very excited when I saw that this phone has CyanogenMod. I downloaded it and flashed it three days ago. Was very happy cos I loved the UI and hoe stable it was. Unfortunayely it didn't go as I was expecting. I know it's in beta-ish state so I will like to point out somethings that are not working( working incorrectly).
Bluetooth turns on and off every 30 sec.
WiFi hotspot not working.
After the screen turns off and when I try to turn it on, only the front keys lights up. After a short time it displays my boot animation. This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes.
And please work on the camera.
In-call volumes are too low even on loudspeaker. Using headset seems ok.
With the exception of the mentioned bugs, I love this Rom. Best ever for this phone. Well done getting Cyanogen on this phone.
Yeah, I never could figure out the bluetooth completely... I honestly don't know why the wifi hotspot isn't working for you, as I use it nearly every day.
As for the boot animation thing, the current vibrator driver causes SurfaceFlinger (the UI in android) to freeze and the system_server will kill it when it becomes unresponsive for around 30 seconds, which causes the boot animation to be played back again.
The camera uses (damn awful, ugly, annoying) proprietary binary blobs which do not appear to work at all with any version of android newer than jellybean. I seriously do not understand AT ALL why the hardware manufacturers have to go out of their way to make SURE that the camera won't work with newer versions of android.
I learned some things a while back while poking through various linux kernels, and I noticed that ov8830_v4l2.c (the video 4 linux 2) driver was missing from the F6 kernel I'm using. Stay tuned...
The call volumes are wonky, yes, and I don't really know why... I think xclusive36 had a go at the speakerphone volume, I might ask him about it or something.
And thank you for trying my rom, and especially for reporting your problems!
EDIT: Oh, and to fix the vibrator crashing SurfaceFlinger, you can try this:
Settings -> Sound -> Uncheck 'Vibrate when ringing'
Settings -> Sound -> Uncheck 'Vibrate on notification'
Settings -> Sound -> Uncheck 'Vibrate on touch' (this one especially, mine only reboots once in a blue moon with that unchecked)
Settings -> Sound -> Uncheck 'Vibrate' (under the 'CHARGING SOUNDS' heading)
HELP I HAVE NO AUDIO. AND THIS IS THE ONLY ROM (besides slow xperion) THAT WORKS. only thing is sound. there is none
xperion also has no sound. and those are the only 2 roms i got working.
*note, i tried freedom kernal, but i couldnt find any other kernal. my options are . twrp, freedom kernal, cm 4.4.4 and xperion. and thats all i had to work with
Huh... That's odd, I'd bet that some dirt got in your audio jack or something (that happened to mine, as it was torn up and went through hell and back before it came into my possession).
I just wanted to ask, has anyone tried installing Xposed Module on this? I heard that it should work on CM11.
I've used Xposed on this rom before, just use the 'Classical (write to /system directly)' installation, as the TWRP method may wipe your data partition.
Well folks, daemon32 (the OP and creator of this ROM) hasn't logged in for over 5 months, so I think it's safe to assume we can expect no further updates from him/her. If we want bug fixes, someone else will have to take over.
Well yeah, I've basically gone as far as my limited knowledge has allowed me to go (this is the first ROM I've ever done).
hi guys, I'm using the gamer rom 4 v1.0.3 le tmob/metro on my sprint lg ls720 (whatever its called). It works awesome, everything, vibration, etc (except the camera, but dude took it out of his rom anyway). Its fast, stable, it works great. I'm on ring+ on their LTE. Not sure what's going on with other people's phones. Have you guys tried the gamer rom v103 le? I didn't even change the apn or anything for that matter.
He got vibration to work? Maybe I will talk to him and see how he did that...
