CM7 Alpha 1 Bug Thread

I thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread where people post their bugs they're getting from the newly released cm7 alpha. I don't have cm7 myself yet, but I plan to so I think this thread would be useful to those who are thinking about trying it, and the CM team.
Thank you.

KNOWN BUGS
Apps such as Juice Defender, Angry Birds, ROM Manager, and Cordy do not work.
Backup and Restoring with GAAPS has some issues for users.
Videos from SD card will not play
Status Bar force close when receiving MMS
In-Call volume is unadjustable
Physical left & right arrow keys reversed [FIX] http://efragtv.com/android/cm7/keylayout-fix-cm7a1.zip
Full Screen Mode in Browser covers the Status Bar
Volume Levels low even when Maxed [NOT CONFIRMED YET]
I think that's all of them; PM me if I missed anything

Wiped Data/Cache 4 or 5 times. I do it more than I should just to make sure i get it..and im to lazy to count.
Flashed the Rom, Flashed GAPPS. Put it my gmail info. Checked a few boxes to download facebook, twitters, Maps, and such automagically... and after clicking install on all the market apps, I seem to be stuck on the "Backup and Restore" page...Been here for about 20 minutes. Now I know this works by downloading all of my apps again for me...but I think we should probably be able to get passed this point without waiting for 100 apps to download...
Not sure if I really am stuck or if its just taking its sweet time downloading my apps. I only have 2 bars and its kind of slow at work, but i really don't want to type a WEP key in right now for WiFi.

Sounds like the built in restore function takes a while and helps if you are wifi after you wipe.

I restored gapps and it didn't take longer than any normal operation.

Startup was slightly confusing because of the extra steps, but so far I'm bug free! I like it so far. I was playing with the customizations all for hours last night after installing.
EDIT: I forgot about one small problem. Juice defender widget seemed kinda hit or miss with turning data off. Never had trouble with syndicate.
2nd EDIT: Juice Defender doesn't work well with gingerbread yet.

Visual glitch
when you check full screen mode in the browser settings and then open a link up or load a page, theres a glitch in the top part of the browser where the status bar is supposed to be

I want to add, really quick, that the more you guys tweak your installation of the ROM the harder it is for us to pinpoint problems. Different apps, themes, tweaks, et cetera can break things that are known to work. Since we're trying to get the base system working, please only report bugs if you are mostly clean (apps are fine, obviously) and if it is directly related to the ROM itself.
EDIT: And as I've said in a previous thread, DO NOT restore data from a previous EB13 ROM. This isn't the ROMs you're used to. If you fail to fllow this step, your bug reports will be ignored. I don't mean to sound rude or whatever, but it doesn't help anyone if we're following false leads.

You can use the power widget for CM and just turn data on and off when you'd like to use it. Juice defender provably wont work with Gingerbread for a while until it comes out as a more mainstream Android OS.

The backup and restore that had me locked down for 35 minutes was not the Recovery Backup and Restore, it was the Android Backup and Restore right after selecting which applications you want to be automatically installed.
I ended up doing a battery pull because I needed to use the phone, after it rebooted I skipped the google account sign in and avoid this all together.
I was able to sign in after launching the market for the first time without any issue though.
Also on a side note, after I am up and running, I am trying to get the HoneyComb music app to work. .

Alright, so let me get this straight...
DO NOT restore apps w/ saved data, or do not restore system apps?
Also, things like this and the extra instructions you need to flash this ROM, gives more reason, and I've said it before, to show a video/tutorial from a person starting from stock EB13, to rooting, to flashing. I've seen lots of tutorials for the evo, and I'm sure it'll clear up a lot of mistakes.
In addition, if more people follow the video correctly, less bugs about improper flashing/restoring will be mentioned, and more bugs about the actual software will be more focused on, and help the devs see exactly what's wrong with the system, and not what the person did to flash the ROM.
I hope someone takes my advice, and that a video will be demonstrated on how to do this.
I would make a video myself, but not confident enough to flash cm7 quite yet.

Oh no no, it's basically like flashing any rom. If you're on a rooted EB13 all you have to do is wipe data 3x wipe cache and dalvik cache and install the zip file. It works as any rom all you have to do is wipe and put another rom on if you grow bored of this one. And use my backup pro to backup data from your app and restore it that way so that it's not something which is damaging to your phone as a whole.

According to Dameon it works on both RFS and EXT4 so whichever clockwork you have should be fine. People were trying to restore EB13 NAND backups onto CM7 I believe as well as applications which rely on frameworks which are not present. But I would say make a NAND Back up and have a stock EB13 update.zip or have the tar for Odin, just the usual procedure if you think you revert and really just use that if you feel like reverting or going back to a rom as a failsafe. Whatever you're comfortable with using.

[BUG] in Kwiboo 's ICS v2

Many thanks to Kwiboo first for making a mostly daily ICS rom.
I flashed it last night and would like to talk about some bugs.
1. "android.process.acore" error
It comes frequently after using a third part Contacts Sync App.
That is to say, only System Account Sync is OK to avoid this error.
2. Apps bugs
a. "root explorer" UI error.
b. "QQ" force quit.
Other function is still tested, but so far so good.
I can't wait any longer for the next more perfect version.
Come on Kwiboo !
ICS from Kwiboo is really nice enough to be a daily ICS rom.

Posting here to say thanks to kwiboo! ****ty 10 post to write in dev section! xD
And with franco kernel it's awesome!
Anyway to get rid of the flashing screen on lock?

I noticed Google Wallet won't work. It says something about insufficient privileges. Which sucks because I actually use Google Wallet.

Nevermind about the flashing screen. It disappeared after flashing the new version of the kernel! : )

damn it
have to post 10 posts before starting a thread... i am not gonnaa forget my account again,<3 android, was, is, always

haha, actually same purpose for me, no bug like flashing screen on lock wor, just use the whole rom from Kwiboo.

- In Spare Parts, uncheck 'Compatibility Mode'
- Reboot

when is the v3, eeee

I noticed that GoSMS is unable to load my contacts, just shows phones #'s. I assume it's due to GoSMS not being ICS compatible?

I also signed up to say thanks for this So if you read this kwiboo.. thanks

I have a NexusS i9020XXKD1 (Wind/Tmo)
I am running kwiboo's v2
patched with Franco (No OC)
For the most part everything works, I have found these problems.
In addition to kwiboo's issues
Not working at this time:
Enhanced Email app (FC, Based on GB Email app, needs to update)
Viber app (FC)
VPN PPTP (Doesn't connect, worked fine in 2.3.7)
Google Wallet v5 Patch (FC)
Occasional Lockups (1-2x a day, attribute to Franco's kernel, if I had to guess)

Go SMS works alright, but your contacts are deleted in the flashing process, no Google services yet, no market but will be fixed in near future (I hope)

Trouble installing 3rd party apps.

I'm trying to install some of the Humble Indie Bundle 6 games on my N4 and I'm running into a problem I've never faced before. The APK files download just fine, but when it comes to actually opening them to start the installation, it won't install. The button that says "install" does nothing when I press it. I checked in my security settings and "unknown sources" are allowed. I included screenshots of both these in the attached files. I even tried un-selecting the "verify apps" option, in case the humble bundle app had been removed from their white list for some reason, it still won't install.
I thought it might be a bug with the Humble Bundle beta app so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but it too is getting stuck on the installation. It downloads just fine but it won't install. I've tried rebooting my phone, still no luck. I'm on the latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Has anyone else been getting this problem, or does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? I didn't pay much for the games but it sort of sucks to have bought them and be unable to play any of them like this.
I'd like to try with some more third party apps to see if it's all of them, or if it's just the Humble Bundle APKs that are causing me trouble (if it's the later I can probably contact Humble Bundle and ask them for assistance), but I'm not familiar with those. Could someone please recommend some good safe ones I can test out?

My humble bundle beta installed fine. So at least you know the app should work. Sorry can't help you more. Hopefully someone else has a solution. Silly question... have you tried rebooting?

are you running paranoid android? disable halo, or so ive read.

Any app that requires permission to draw over other apps can potentially cause what you're experiencing. Examples include but are not limited to:
- the HALO feature in PA ROMs
- Screen filter apps
- Other floating apps

Could any of that happen if I haven't rooted?
Also,
I've just tried to reinstall TubeMate, another third party app I like. It's APK also refuses to install, which probably means there's a problem with my phone and not just the Humble Bundle app. I'm starting to think I'll have to factory reset the phone, which is certainly do-able, just... not very fun.

Yes, this can happen without root access. I've seen your problem addressed several times in multiple forums and ALL of them is because of a floating app.
Look through your app list. Is there ANY app that, as a feature, floats on top of other apps?
Eg, Facebook Messenger, Screen Filter, Floating Stickies, AirCalc, etc
Just force stop them and you should be able to sideload apk's again.

The phone says 1.68 GB are free, but when I plug it into my desktop it tells me 1.57 GBs. So... somewhere between those two.
EDIT:
Found it... It was the Twilight app (no, not THAT Twilight... lol), it's an app that tints the whole screen a slight redish color so it doesn't hurt my eyes too much when I use the phone in the evening. That must count as a "floating". The moment I disabled that I was able to successfully install the APK. YOU SIR, ohyearar, have won a thanks.

Beanstalk Port Q&A

Hey Guys,
I am not the person who ports the Roms, that's @chrisc93 & @CPA Poke, I just thought it would be nice to have an actual Q&A. So what I'm planning on doing is I'm going to go through the S4 beanstalk forum, and try to move all the commonly asked questions with answers over here. I'll try to keep the OP updated daily, this is also to try to keep the beanstalk Dev forum clean. :laugh:
A few things:
1 Tell if you have done a clean flash or not
(A clean flash is wiping your phone's data completely)
2 Which Beanstalk version you are on
(4.3, 4.4, 4.4.100, 4.4.200, etc.)
3 What gapps package have you flashed
- Who made it if not in the Beanstalk OP
4 What kernel have you flashed
5 Which runtime you are using: Dalvik or ART
6 What mods are you using: crossbreeder, xposed, etc.
7 If your problem is GUI related, if you have dark stalk on or not.

Q: The Samsung screen on my device isn't changing to beanstalk. IM BOOTLOOPING HELP!
A: For some unknown reason, sometimes it gets stuck in a bootloop, DON'T WORRY, just turn off your phone and turn it back on, it may take a few times, but it will boot, if it doesn't boot after quite a few you may have gotten a bad download, still, DONT WORRY, you can still get into recovery mode by holding down the volume up & home buttons while your device is being turned on.
Q: I'm on the runtime ART, and I keep getting process.gapps has quit unexpectedly. What am I doing wrong/ why is this happening?
A: The runtime ART is quite new and Google is slowly but surely working out the kinks, its not perfect yet, so you may have some troubles with it, if you get a lot of these errors, I suggest going back to the Dalvik runtime for the time being.
- I have also read that having multiple Google accounts can cause this. If someone would confirm this for me, that would be great.
Q: Can I dirty flash?
A: if you want to be laughed at by all your friends... No but seriously, don't dirty flash when installing your operating system because there are a plethora of problems that can go on if you dirty flash, if you have problems and you dirty flashed, the first thing someone is going to tell you is that you need to go clean flash your phone and then tell you to come back if you still have the problem. So personally, I wouldn't take the chance.
Q: People who are helping me are asking for a "logcat"... Uhhh?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

I hadn't checked my compass until I read your post but it appears I have the same problem (compass locked on North with GPS Status). My actual GPS seems to work fine.
I'm using Poke's 4.4.205 build (Dec 31) with Jan 3rd KT Kernel.

Am I missing something or are there three options no longer available in the newest Beanstalk? I'm coming from the last JB to KK, in the OP.
1 - Long press hold the back button to kill app
2 - Breathing missed text message and phone call icons option to turn on and off
3 - No custom quick settings tile

I only know what I've read, but long back press and custom qs tiles are missing, I'll check the newest update for breathing.

None of those are available in 4.4 Beanstalk yet. Personally, I prefer holding back to switch to last app over back to kill but either way there's no custom back button yet...

I've been getting a strange "SIM has been removed, please reboot" error where the phone would just all of the sudden lose contact with the SIM on the latest 4.4.2 builds. Anyone else experience that?

only thing i could think of would be first do a clean flash and then if you still have a problem, then try redownloading. do you have a custom kernel?

I notice the newest build includes a new Launcher option called Launcher3, is this a Trebuchet style baked in launcher based on the Google Experience Launcher? If so I look forward to it being developed further, especially if it's possible to use it in conjunction with Google Now in the future.

Our beloved developer @niaboc79 is getting very tired of people always asking the same questions and posting their problems in the development topic of his rom.
So I decided to make this topic in the "general" section of the forum where people can post about their problems and hopefully some solutions, in the hopes that it will help him and the people having problems at the same time.
Whenever a cause or a solution for a problem is found, I will put it in the second post, right underneath this one.
I want to make clear that I'm not an expert and cannot help much myself, I will just collect and centralize information, and I'm in no way affiliated with @niaboc79 and his work, and do absolutely not deserve any credits for his work.
Also there is no guarantee that the information I collect and post in the second post will be a solution for your problem even if it has apparently worked for other people with similar symptoms.
I invite everyone that uses his rom to share helpful information here. (please)

Firstly ; a copy of the FAQ that @niaboc79 posted himself. You should read it before asking questions.

Recovery access problems:
-Don't update busybox
-Don't update Kernel
-Don't flash DRM fix (see FAQ)
If you haven't done one of the above, you should be able to enter recovery by pressing volume down (repeatedly) while starting up the phone.
If you did do one of the above, simply reflash the rom.
Note: since version 4.7 (or alternatively version 3.9) lag is no longer appearing in the rom. If you do witness lag on 4.7 (3.9) there is probably something that you have done that is causing it. Check and double check your apps and settings before trying other solutions in that case!
Lag problems:
-Update to rom version 4.7 (or 3.9 for the rom based on the beta firmware)
-Follow the instructions posted here on rom version prior to 4.7 (3.9)
If you still witness lag after that:
-After installing, give the rom some time to settle, it has to index all your files and the memory management still has to find out what apps (you) are running. This takes a long time (depending on your usage) so give it some days.
-Some xposed modules and Greenify are known causes. Disable that if you use them and see if the lag still persists. If it is gone, you can find the exact module/setting that is the cause by disabling just one module/setting at a time and try if the lag has gone. (this also counts for other problems by the way)
-Stamina mode makes the phone slower as it lowers processor speed etc. Turn it off and check if the lag has gone.
-Many (also popular) apps use quite a lot of system ressources even if you aren't using them. You could uninstall your apps, then reinstall them one at a time, use the phone a bit to check if the lag came back, if not install the next app, and so on until you find the app that is making your phone lag/behave weird.
-Never restore a titanium backup (or similar) when coming from a lollipop rom. There are several differences between lollipop and marshmallow so you risk to restore incompatible stuff.
-Activating blur in recents causes lag (v 3.5, should be solved with the next update of the rom) Fixed in final version
Profile picture (top right of status bar) won't remain after reboot:
-Open the contacts app and go to the first contact (that should contain info about you, and no image) and choose the picture you would like to see in stead of the blue user icon (click on the pencil and then on the image)
Now the image for the user switch in the status bar has been changed too, and it will stick after reboot.
Switch user causes a crash of the beta feedback app and doesn't work
-Remove beta feedback app
You can now switch users, although the system will crash/reboot, it does switch. (will be fixed in a future release of the rom) Fixed in final version

The second post of this topic right here...

i did try to reflash the rom after upgrading busybox, but i just cant find a way to flash zip file through pc.
is there a way to flash the rom without flashing back to stock?

Maybe this will work
But if you have problems, there is nothing better than starting from scratch and do a clean install imo

Good morning guys

By just looking at that image, not really.
I see that you haven't used your phone much during the time of the picture, so no apps are using battery, nor your screen. That automatically makes the operating system the most consuming thing, as it is needed to keep the phone running.

Click on the app to see what is consuming (radio, processing.... ) if it is the radio, maybe you had very bad connection. If it's the process that prevents the processor going to sleep you should try to find out what is running all the time.

Actually, I take at least 7 pictures with Camera FV-5/ 7 with stock app, with screen brightness full. Used WhatsApp and Telegram too, normally these apps and screen should be on top of the list. I have no idea of what the hell I do :silly:
