Can I have a backup of both TW and AOSP?

Can I backup a TW ROM and an AOSP ROM and switch between both whenever I want and it run smoothly no matter which one I'm on?

Halo is interesting, but I'm not a huge fan. I really don't have a use case for it. I also don't really like constantly having the halo on my screen when I'm not using it. Lots of people seem to love it though.

From what I've read it doesn't have to be on your screen at all times.

I guess I'm just not a fan of how multitasking is implemented with Halo. I applaud the developers for making it, but it's just not for me. Honestly, I wish Google would just add an app drawer to Android that can be accessed from within any app. Part of my problem with Halo is that I have to preconfigure which apps I can multitask with (notifications notwithstanding), rather than being able to fire up any app I want regardless of what I happen to be doing at the time.

If you want that you should try out Floating notifications then.

Fitbit sync on aosp roms?

I was just wondering if I need a touchwiz based ROM in order to sync with my fitbit. It says the gs4 is compatible but it won't sync with my aokp rom. I'm guessing because of the bluetooth differences?

It requires bluetooth 4.0 low energy which the gs4 has. Apparently the stack that Samsung uses in touchwiz works. I don't see why googles wouldn't.

Super lame. I guess your options are using one of the Stock-based roms or maybe just use Nova launcher over stock to get the aosp look you're going for.

true.
I was on task's aokp which i loved. i then switched to ib4's GE 4.3 which i am using now, and it is amazing. i dont really want to go back to TW but it is a first world problem i suppose.

They just updated the app for google edition 4.3

I just got a fitbit and I love LIQUIDSMOOTH.
I will be Syncing on my PC and tablet till they get all of 4.3 figured out. Haven't been impressed with the development of Google edition ROMS.

Hey, so I found this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1ol2g8/fyi_using_a_modified_fitbit_apk_you_can_now/
They link to this xda thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46041881&postcount=26
It is basically a modified fitbit apk that makes it work on more devices. If someone with a fitbit who is currently running a ROM like CM or AOKP could try it out and see if it works that would be awesome.

please don't report any CM 10.2 bugs
there are a lot of them
I will not start to fix CM bugs cause I will not stay on CM. So I will just sync whatever CM has changed
so this is mostly to find device specific issues cause those will happen on all custom roms

First of all, congrats on the build. It's running much better than I could have hoped for, and I haven't seen a bug so far.
I'd like to let you know that the application I mentioned in the official CM thread a couple of days back runs properly on this build. I haven't had time to compile a proper test app for you, so I'll just throw the APK in here if you'd still like to test it. I'm suspecting it's an issue on 4.2, but I haven't had access to another 4.2 device so far. If you'd prefer I post this in the official thread instead, just let me know.
Anyway, the APK can be found here. The included fade animations turned out to have no effect on performance, so don't worry about that. The mere presence of the two backgrounds causes the application to grind to a halt, I noticed it in another app as well.

I just tried it too - but I had reports in the past of such hangs
so it might be only happening random - which doesnt make it better

A rather minor bug, but the hardware key LEDs don't dim with the screen like they would on CM10.1. I must say they're quite bright in a dark room.

oh thanks - thats because I still use the liblights from my AOKP rom
which supports separate settings for screen and keys
and that doesnt play nice with CM which only supports settings
both to the same value

missed call unlocks screen

Hi all, when i get a missed call on stock android 4.4, the screen simply gets unlocked. It can do crazy things if the phone is in ur pocket. right now I am using an app to prevent such thing but if somebody suggests me which apk needs to be modified it will be highly appreciated.

strange that u and some others not facing it. bdw it only happens on stock rom with slide lock. pattern lock, pin lock and others dont have this bug.
I will upload that patch when I get on pc. Have also requested for an xposed module for this.

[Help] Official Games Unresponsive on AOSP Roms Thread [1/7/14]

This thread is to put all the games/apps in one Thread that do not have touch screen response after starting them on ALL AOSP Roms for the G2. If anyone has a game/app that they would like to mention that has "Unresponsive Screen" go ahead and post here and i'll add it to the OP. This thread is also here possibly to get a fix for this issue please. Here is a list so far:
GUIDE: *=Free, $=Paid
GAMES
$Need For Speed
$Dead Space
$10000000
$Granny Smith
$Shadowgun
$Fiz Brewery Management
*Temple Run
*Nimble Quest
*Into The Dead
*Puppet War
*Critical Strike Portable
*Air Navy Fighters
*Critter Escape
*Major Mayhem
*Cordy Sky
*Rocket Bunnies
*Strike Fighters
*Slingshot Racing
*Battleheart
*NBA Jam

If anyone wants to take a look at it here is a Logcat from the 1/7/14 CM11 Nightly VS980, I opened Temple Run and got a Logcat for anyone that can take a look at it to see whats causing the Unresponsive Screen.

Dead Space has the same issue. And the G2 is the only device I own that I can install it on... Maybe I have to break out my old Droid X.

Using regular dalvik, I know it's phone specific with all the LG G2's because on the Nexus 4 & Galaxy S III they work fine. So it's not a issue with Android 4.4.

Do they work on the N5? It might not be a 4.4 issue, but it could a SnapDragon 800 issue that they need to update for.

These all have not worked since the very first AOSP rom on our phone, if you look back at my comment history it has been a common complaint and the reason I am on stock. It does not matter if it is 4.4 or 4.3 any AOSP does not seem to work with various different games AND apps. My best guess is something wrong with the touch driver that reacts to certain apps..
