[ROM] [CM10.1] OaT_LnT[July 25, 2013]

Background
This is a very light and tweaked version of CM10.1 along with a lightened and tweaked version of GApps. If you are familiar with my previous Light n Tasty (LnT) releases, you know what to expect, although as of late I am going even further. For example, I am not including the CM Browser or Calendar apps in the ROM as IMO there are much better 3rd party ones available in Google Play, generally for free. (I do encourage you to support the developer via a paid app if that is available.) LnT is ringing in at very svelte ~240MB, leaving ~73MB free in an unexpanded ROM partition via AcmeInstaller3, after flashing LnT_CM10.1 and LnT_GApps. With that kind of room, you could even consider applying AppstoROM if it were beneficial to your TP. The standard GApps should be able to be used with the ROM, if so desired. Updates to the ROM and GApps will be made as significant changes occur, or if I get bored and want to flash something new :silly: .
Flashing
Personally, coming from LnTTP_CM10, I just dirty flashed over it with no problems, using the latest (?) TWRP. If you are coming from another ROM, it is highly recommended that you do a full set of wipes before flashing the ROM. It is also recommended that GApps be concurrently flashed with the ROM.
Issues
The issues with LnT are the same as with other CM10.1 releases, which center around a non-working bluetooth. Presumably the camera has been enabled, but as I have never really used that capability in CM or WebOS, I have not verified that. In fact, no camera app is included in the ROM, so if one is interested in that feature, a working one would have to be found in Google Play or one 'extracted and installed' from a standard CM10.1 ROM. Finally, if one is having problems with sound cutting off when the display turns off, try switching bluetooth on. It will not stay on, but it does seem to fix the sound problem when the display turns off.
Acknowledgements
I'll use the 'trickle down' approach here, and personally thank milaq, whose git repository this build is based on. It then follows that I am indebted to the work of those he mentions who have specifically contributed in the development of CM for the TouchPad, and to the many others who make generic contributions to CM, and of course to Google and AOSP for providing open source, which without none of this could be accomplished.

System Add-Ons
Find your system add-ons to LnTTP here. They, of course, need to be placed in the system/apps directory, followed by setting the permissions appropriately, and then rebooting your TP. Since I don't use these I really can't verify if they work. Finally, if you are aware of a newer version, notify me and I will update here asap.

Been using this for a week, rock solid and very clean. I dirty flashed over his previous ROM using TWRP, along with the slimmed down Gapps. I am using Next browser and a calendar, both work well. I haven't been successful using Camera JB+, it tries to open, but when you try to take a picture it closes.
Great work as usual OaT!

Thanks O.a.T.!!! Been waiting for this new version to be released.

Thanks for the ROM OaT. I use my touchpad much more than my Galaxy Tab (that still sits in the box and turned on only once) b/c your ROMs are so much better.

Hell Yah! Thanks again Oat for another badass release. Downloading now and can't wait to flash. Was using your 10.1 before and I'm sure this will continue to only get better.

Kondik's/CM's New Privacy Guard
Hate to do this so soon after just posting the 0621 ROM, but oh well!
Have you heard about Kondik's/CM's new Privacy Guard capability? It's a WiP, but I've been using it most of the day on both my N4 and TP, and it seems to work very well and appears to be stabilizing in terms of changes. If you too want to give it a try, here you go...

No worries OaT, and I was able to download and flash the newer one successfully. I haven't opened up yet but I like the new boot animation. :laugh:

Getting pretty typical 10.1, but also not great battery life on this. Seeing about 30 to 40 mA drain when sleeping.

btw, camera works (at least Camera JB+), but appears to flip the image. Still, good to get the camera working in time for my trip (so I can use Skype).

There are 2 locations to set options. In Settings>>Security towards the very bottom you will see a toggle that sets the privacy option on in every new app installed. In Settings>>Apps, after you select an app, you will see a checkbox in the app information that turns the privacy option on for that app. With the option turned on, for example, apps will be told gps is off, whether in fact it is or not, thus protecting your location. Also, for example, apps seeking a list of contacts will be provided a false list. There are also a few other actions also done to protect your privacy from 'nosy' apps.

Wipe data*, wipe cache and dalvik cache
*If you're coming from another ROM, even PACman 4.2.2
Install zips from SD card
Enjoy the ROM

FAQs
Q. Don't have bootanimation, why?
A. Because you didn't use CWM or TWRP.
Q. My baseband version it's unknown, why?
A. Read the first answer.
How do I make the status bar transparent?
A. In your homescreen, open quick settings panel and choose Hybrid Properties (the one with the name of the launcher on it, there, slide to the right and set the status bar color to transparent.
Can I use a custom kernel with this ROM?
A. Yes, you can. Just make sure that the kernel is for AOSP.
This ROM bricked my phone
A. No, you did it. Because you were too stubborn to read.
Ask for help instead of blaming.

I have two issues -
Google Now/Google Voice Search seems to trigger quite often and I don't know why. Surely it should only trigger when I press the home button?
When I swipe in a ribbon from the right, two ribbons appear. One I can scroll, I see the other behind it, not moving, which then falls away (I have 3 second fade away)
Any ideas on either of these? Thanks.

About the Google Now activation, in AOSP it activates with the menu button, maybe that's why you don't feel when it presses, I was having sort of the same issue but I assigned new custom actions.
With the ribbons, I really don't use them.

Yeah, I see I can hold menu down to launch voice search. It's definitely not that.
At one point yesterday I double taped my screen to open my app drawer and two seconds after the drawer opened, Google voice searching opened!?
I've even been looking to see if there's voice /sound activation of something... It's really annoying.

Actually, here's a related question that someone might be able to help with.
I use the home button to wake my phone, but half the time it wakes AND does the home button action. If in cycling, it wakes and drops to the home screen instead of Strava. If in at the gym, it closes Jefit. If i was on the home screen, it asks and launched voice search!
Any ideas?

I think some app is messing with the home button actions.
Have yo set any app as a device administrator?
Also, wich build are you running?

Yeah, I think it was Nova messing with my home button. I turned off home = Voice search and it seems okay now.

By the way, why is useful to turn off Fast Dormancy?

Fast Dormancy will save battery life if your carrier supports it. I won't go into the details. However, if your carrier does not support it, and your phone has fast dormancy on, it will drain the battery as the process keeps trying to look for the carrier-side fast dormancy feature.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
I guess it might be back to the touchwiz bs...

You can always try different apps, like Greenify or Better Battery Stats, also, KT kernel is very battery friendly but I prefer the stock kernel with that apps and the battery is always good.

Seems good to me. The only two things pushing me back to a Samsung based ROM are the battery life and I find the camera unreliable. (Often opens but with a blank black screen)

You can try with KT kernel, it improves the battery life considerably, reduces the heat but you may lose some smoothness compare to the stock kernel.
The camera seems an unresolved issue at the moment, but all the cons that the ROM currently have, for me, are very depreciable against the features.

In only use KT because of the battery life, that was very poor with the latest build, but if you're experiencing a decent battery life my suggestion is to be in the stock kernel.

No, you can't use that kernel because it's not labeled for AOSP ROMs, you have to be careful when you flash kernels because them can really brick your device.

just tested IR with smart tv remote app. worked like a charm. i have not found anything nonfunctional at this time =) looks and runs terrific!

forgot to mention that the build is 4.4.1 as well

two issues?
This ROM is so smooth, no crashes or anything. That being said the Google now voice activation ( OK Google ) and the internet local results by garb shown up on the stock kitkat dialer are not working. The dialer search is only giving results from the device itself
Any word on this?

there's a bug with the CPU performance in that if you try and set the max and min values and check "set on boot" they somehow get reset to the default settings or get maxed out. this only happens when "set on boot" is activated.

Just an FYI the CM Nightlies have a CPU bug. Mine was charging for an hour and it gained 8% battery and was so hot I didn't even feel safe holding it. (This is coming from someone who has done alot of crazy and stupid stuff with my phones) The charger was hot as hell as well. Not sure if its a charging issue or CPU clock/voltage issue (it runs a lot hotter then GPE under load) but be warned.
Switched it back to GPE and its fine.. Also keep an eye out for ART, don't have it charging while making the switch (android is upgrading screen). The phone will get molten and I am not joking.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

the CPU wasn't an issue in CM10.2 so it's something in CM11...will probably end up going to OmniROM instead.

I havent been having any issues with overheating. in the latest build however there are constantly force closes of the sound search process. not sure what thats about.
Anyone else having issues with the internet search results not coming up in the dialer search bar?
also why is this thread in the general category and not development?

yes, i am replying to my own post... apparently if you go to settings -> accounts -> Google -> Search and enable google now, then the "ok Google" hot word that activates search in the persistent search bar on the home screens does not work.
As soon as i disabled google now, the ok google hotword activates voice commands again, as it should.
Is this normal?

Fixed!
I was getting these error messages and all the latest nightlies weren't installing for me either, with no information given with the error message,
So after many hours of messing around, I figured out the problem. I use clockwork to flash my mods. And I downloaded "ROM Manager" from Play Store. When starting the program, I noticed a message saying there was a new version of clockwork available and asked if I wanted to download it. I figured, what the hell, couldn't hurt! So I downloaded, installed it. Then updating to the latest nightly (cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-m7.zip) worked! No more problem!
I hope this helps some people install their newest nightlies!!!!#@ Enjoy,

[Q] [d801] PA LATEST BUILDS 12/27 & 12/31

Hey, @houstonn! Everyone,
First, I've really wanted to thank you for the longest for all the work you've put in for for all LGG2 variants. I've been with you from the beginning, the quiet kid at the back of the class without the ten notches to do anything other than click Thanks! But it's been awesome. Even getting myself out of some sticky situations alone has tested my metal. It's a good thing I like to read.
K. More adulation later. Just have wanted to make note of something that I haven't ever seen throughout the PA thread concerning the d801 from the 12/24 build to present working 12/31. Don't wanna bring you more headaches after reading about v.01/03, but I'm hoping you or someone can verify an issue I've been experiencing on the three latest builds.
I can clean install PA using TWRP 2.6.3.4 Do so always as with the 2day 12/27 skin I was wearing until dirty flashing the 12/31 just now. Upon initial boot everything is spot on. I'll have already flashed my backup apps post gapps and be setting up, Google Now and offline voice recognition downloaed then set to auto update. Google Now will work hands free for a good while so I can't be exact about the interval between it working and losing the prompt in the Search box, which in turn leads to SMS fails in both stock messaging and Hangouts. I still receive SMS via both apps, but my sends fail every time after something 'breaks'.
I did notice something yesterday while running forensics. I switched Hangouts to batch MMS mode and texted to one party and pinged myself as well. So Hangouts/Messaging only works in MMS mode for me. I've yet to read this anywhere in the novel that is your thread and I do read, so correct me if this has been addressed. I checked App Ops and found the SMS send set to off in Stock Messaging but everything on in Hangouts, but figured that had to be the cause or Hangouts' doing by default since both apps must use the same broadcast intent, thus why both don't audibly run at once. It's really the only problem I have but it seemed strangely obscure enough to mention. I can't think of a possible cause or a way to track it other than running a log. Fall short of doing so cuz I have another phone running custom KK 4.4.2 and I have no problems messaging with it. As for Google Now and voice Recog, when I go back into language settings, my alternate languages will have disappeared until I toggle back and forth between 'when to update' and 'available to DL languages'. By then, English UK (US), French & Spanish have repopulated the downloaded field, yet hands free voice recog fails.
Otherwise, no other errors. I freakin love this ROM and with UV/OC, I'm maxing out some lengthy battery life upwards of 14 hours with screen on for 8 out of the whole! Yea, I'm on it feverishly but who can blame me. It's wicked smooth and you're awesome!!!
Thanks heaps!

I'm sorry, if it is a problem having my post here under the labeled Q&A thread for my device, I understand if you need to move it. As I really had a minute issue and was unable to post directly to the PA forum at the time, searched and evidently missed the thread you mentioned, I saw no problem in posting under the General device specific Q&A. Thanks for the correction. I'll be more thorough in searching next time.

ExistenZ Marshmallow problems and solutions

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:
