Root [BETA][4.4.4] Cyanogenmod 11 9/19/2015

Hey, thanks for sharing your work here.
I'm wondering if this is still being actively pursued and how I can help us get GPS and offline charging working on this ROM.
Incidentally, offline charging is a deal-breaker for my usage case. GPS is not necessarily.
 
I've been busy developing for the volt but I still use my awe and hope to revisit this at some point. otherwise we need someone else to download my source code and tinker until it works
 
I just installed this build on my second Awe and its looking good.
Off the bat the camera seems to have problems with video, and the Bluetooth connects and promptly disconnects, although it got it working once (of maybe 20 tries). Let me know if you want/need me to test something or send logs etc.
 
I have been using this as a daily driver and it is very stable. Only real problems I have is battery life and no hardware video acceleration. The battery seems to drain fast and when I get to 17 to 15 percent it goes to zero in less than a minute. To bad there is no kernel mod for this and no gps. I have had lots of problems with the cm11 and + builds from Phenomx4. I know everyone has moved on to bigger better devices I just wanted to mainly say thanks for giving my device a stable cm11 even if it has the problems I mentioned I still wouldn’t run anything else as I feel this is the best rom for are phone. Thanks again.

The problems I mentioned above still arise, so I'm running LAwe, also daily driver, everything runs fine for me, and I get good battery life. Except GPS, I think that might be a hardware issue, its borked for me on multiple builds for multiple devices.

I'm still on the grandfathered $25 plan, so not yet an option :p

I only pay 33 bucks for unlimited call text 5 gigs of data then slows down to 2g 8 bucks won't hurt u

Thanks for the kind words. Believe it or not I still come back to the ROM source every now and then trying to get GPS fixed. I can't tell if I'm close or not. I think it'll work if you run my "stock 4.4.2" ROM, get a GPS lock, and then switch to this ROM. Unfortunately I need to get the GPS HAL to build correctly first.

Your battery problem sounds like the battery is just worn out. I have the same problem with my Force. My recommendation would be a replacement from Onite, but unfortunately I don't think those are sold any more.

I have multiple devices and they even had problems with GPS out of the box, so I always expected it to be a hardware problem....
Does the GPS work in the Stock 4.4.2 build? I haven't tried that one, where is it? Its not in the All things root guide sticky...

It's a port from the Warp LTE, and also has a critical flaw. I never figured out how to disable the keystore and our radio image doesn't have the necessary files, so the Security menu crashes, no sideloading without a PC, and you can't uninstall apps

So, if I install this build and get a GPS lock then flash another build, the GPS should work reliably? Would that work with L-Awe? Seems counter-intuitive to me but I'm surely willing to try it, the GPS is awful on my phone, I only have the location service active, with GPS on it jams up apps when they try to get a lock...

I only meant flashing 4.4.2 as a way to get 4.4.4 fully working. L-Awe is based on stock and shouldn't need any special treatment. The GPS software that came with the Awe is mediocre. I'm hoping if I get GPS worked out in 4.4.4 it'll be better.

To that end, I spent the last few nights trying to create a new build. I built something of a GPS into it, so hopefully it'll either work on its own or after flashing 4.4.2. I haven't had the opportunity to test and probably won't until the weekend.

*edit* broken build, don't use

If you give it a try, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=en to see if you get any satellite fixes.

Thanks for the info! I downloaded that app and I'm on L-Awe and I can't even get a fix... it just keeps "Looking for GPS location." *sigh*
 
When flashing from your 4.4.2 rom to this in twrp it says that the 2 roms are not compatible and that to get it installed I would have to do the clean rom wipes. Not being able to install unknown sorces easily kills it for me on your 4.4.2 rom. It seems to be very fast otherwise and gps works. Back to your cm 11 rom for me! Thanks again.
