[CM11] Android 4.4 Kitkat Preview By temasek Video REVIEW

Hey guys! So as you would have probably seen, Android 4.4 kitkat is out for the Galaxy S3 ! Big news right, I know im excited!
So I checked it out, its smooth and as far as I can tell pretty damn stable, no crashes or bugs for the short time I was using it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVipBbrfCkQ
This video goes over the basics, Theres not a lot in it which is to be expected and the video doesnt contain as much information as id like, you could probably hear I was talking fast and too excited to actually record! nevertheless, I will make another video when its got more features or if theres a newer version Etc.
Let me know what you think, are you going to install it?
- Jack

I, for one, can't see the video.

Honestly, I forgot to test it, and it doesnt say it in the XDA Rom thread, Could be working, dont expect it to be used as a daily driver though

thanks for clearing that up so everyone can know

Theres been quiet a few new versions out for this ROM, might give it a go

Good review. I've now got version 10 installed and it is working perfectly. Super fast, no fc issues, and pretty decent battery life so far.

Thanks for all.

Hello,
Great ROM! I have a question though... Does anyone know where I can find the setting for Active Display? I'm not sure if the functionality is in there... I'm on V8.
Thank you in advance!

Nice video. I have a lot of faith in Temasek. He is a great dev!
Cheers

I am interested in whether there is support for Bulgarian language! This stops me try! Sorry for bad English!

This ROM is amazing. There are some camera issues but as I never use the camera it's become my daily. The battery life is a huge step up from samsung ROMs, I put my phone through quite heavy usage and 1 charge a day is more than enough. Compare that to it basically living on the charger cable with other ROMs. I've had 6 devices and many variants of CM, this is right up there in terms of optimisation and speed. I'm sure once temasek resolves the few remaining issues it will be one to beat. Can't recommend it enough. Haven't been this excited for ROM releases since codefirex on my old desire HD.

There are a few things I could have you try, if you were rooted. But since it seems you're not here are a couple of other things you can try.
Go to settings/storage. Click on cache data. Select ok to clear and restart your phone.

Also, are you on the latest update? What browser are you using?

muchmovies.com movies lag streaming
Thank you for your advice I'm going to try that and yes my phone is updated with the latest software. What is strange is that it doesn't lag on YouTube it's just seems to be there. But it makes me mad because it's a great site to stream new movies and it works fine on my mom's iphone. I am using Google Chrome when I go to try it. Thanks keep up with ttrying to help the new guy.

I'm using the stock browser and it worked fine on the movie I tried. Great quality, quick loading.

Flashlight app isn't lighting up the physical camera flash? See if it requires root access to do so, and consider rooting. Rooting = admin access on your phone basically, good to have if you don't care about warranty

[Q] Those who are now on KitKat (TouchWiz) any regrets?

It's been eating at me since ROMs started coming out for KitKat whether I should upgrade to it or not. I'm quite happy with my 4.3 Custom Roms and CM11 Roms. The only thing I dont like about the CM11 is the bad sound and the obvious lack of note 3 specific features such as one handed mode and S-Pen and S-Note.
I can't get it out of my head and I would like to hear some feedback for people who already upgraded to Samsung's KitKat.
What are the main issues with most roms right now? Any regrets being in the new bootloader? Worth it?
Should I be a bit more patient and give DEVS more time to master 4.4?
For those that don't know when you upgrade to the new bootloader to try and install KitKat roms you cannot revert to the previous one so hence cannot flash 4.3 roms or AOSP roms.
(AFAIK only the Mexican Note 3 or Canadian I think have a way to go back or install 4.3 roms after going to the new bootleader)

I don't know what others are experiencing at the moment - but I recently flashed Kit Kat and the only problem I seem to be having is that the WIFI will periodically disconnect for 5 second intervals about 10 times an hour. Other than that nothing else is a problem
I do really enjoy the new galaxy s voice. But mind you - I havent installed a custom rom yet

satisfied with kitkat.. no regret

i heard it brakes compatibility with call recording software.
4.3 is stable enough for my liking.

BUMP

Call recording doesn't work and the camera is worse, I have flickering lines on my camera which I never had. But the phone is super fast and the battery is a great improvement. I wouldn't say you need to be on kit Kat if you are happy on 4.3....but the Poland firmware is obviously a test firmware.... So when all regions get it... Should be much better.

love the kitkat update but just upset i cant try the latest cm till they fix the bootloader issue

On aosp kitkat I'm running acid audio engine with great results!

I actually love the battery life on Kitkat... I have removed both Note 3's, sporting JB and Kitkat from power at the same time. I've been using the Kitkat phone all day making calls, sms'ing and other various things not to mention the auto updates...
Both phones have the same setup and syncing but the Kitkat phone which is being used has more power than JB phone which has sat on my bed all day long doing what it wants and not being used. It's down to 78% over about 11 hours. The Kiktkat one is at 86% ad has been used all day.
That's brilliant as far as I'm concerned...

Thats interesting, you never had flickering before you updated?
Mines been off for repair and is due back today. I dont know what they've done yet but I'd be surprised if software was the problem.

Apparently the Balitic now has 4.4.2 firmware, according to Sammobile... Its the same build though...

Well I would say the only regret is missing the ability to flash 4.3 ROMs and CM. Otherwise seems smoother and faster. So if you do like the TW features I would suggest upgrading.
Been upgraded for a couple of days know, busting my head around how to revert back to CM but I realized putting CM is not very productive when you think about it. The 4.4 stock ROM is damn fast so the only difference I'm seeing is in RAM Usage (stock ROM using much more ram naturally), but does it really matter on a device with 3GBs of Ram? I've never once been close to hitting that mark.. You do get all the S Pen features and stuff that probably made you buy the device in the first place.
So basically:
TW pluses
no bugs
S Pen and other features
CM pluses
no bloat
more customization options and annoyances fixed that should've been there in the first place.

Who's service do you use and which modem or radio do you have loaded. I have wind in Vancouver which does not use LTE but wonder if a different radio will allow me to use LTE from another carrier ie. say Rogers if I am out of coverage area of Wind. I notice with the stock Samsung software and Wind in Vancouver if I loose signal it sometimes does not automatically log back in even though I am within coverage area. My only complaint so far.

[Q] GPS lock is awful

I'm currently on Optimus DE v2.3 with Sprint as my carrier. I've tried multiple ROMs, including stock, and the GPS is wildly inaccurate. Sometimes it'll get a good enough fix to navigate, and other times it'll get confused and freeze my location or be really inaccurate. I honestly think these problems started after the KitKat update because it wasn't quite this bad on Jelly Bean. This makes me think it's software related, not hardware related. Take a look at this picture below, I have an S3 on the left and the G2 on the right:

Any ideas on possible fixes? I really don't want to downgrade to Jelly Bean just because of this. I've tried using GPS apps from the Play Store, such as GPS Status and Toolbox, GPS Test, etc. but they haven't made any difference.

Guessing you already have it on high accuracy? Might have to flash a stock ROM and get a good GPS lock then reflash again

I had the same issue. Let me tell you absolutely no stock ROMs helped either. Oddly enough only aosp is 100% accurate and gives me zero gps issues. I'm running paranoid android and while it does have it's issues like volumes are a tad too high and there are wakelock issues.... Having the ability to use my GPS far outweighs that. I need to use GPS quite a lot.
Try out paranoid android and let me know if you see the same.

It helped me alot, my GPS used to always lose signal mid road and I can't describe how frustrating it was.
This fix solved it for me, it can now stay connected for over an hour without losing signal.
Try putting a thicker layer under the antennas.

CM11S XNPH52Q leaked ??

The CM11s XNPH52Q leaked for brief period of time according to some news in languages I don't know, thanks to google translate, but apparently Oneplus has taken down the source of leak in matter of hours, IF someone has it already, please share
http://gizchina.it/2015/02/oneplus-one-arrivo-lultimo-ota-della-cm-11s-xnph52q/
But, Oneplus team had to say the following in Oneplus official blogs ::
"Hi All!
It's come to our attention that one of our factory test builds was accidentally released sometime yesterday on the OnePlus China forum.
I'd like to clarify that this is a completely unsupported build that was not meant for official roll-out - it was one of our QA/QE releases for factory testing. A proper CM11S (XNPH05Q) is already in certification process with Google.
If you choose to install the leaked build please recognize the following:
We offer zero support for this leaked build
We will not be updating users of the leak to XNPH05Q or the Lollipop release - you will not receive an OTA notification.
The build has been removed from the leak's origin. We encourage folks not to share the build further, in light of the two items mentioned above.
Thank you,
The Cyanogen Team"

Personally, I don't care if it's not officially supported by OnePlus, I just want to get my hands on it so I can see what changes are there. I'm sure people have it, so if anyone does, please send me a link so I can play with it

I dont get it. In one sentence, they say that they sent off build XNPH05Q for certification from Google... and then in another sentence, they call the XNPH05Q build the leaked version and will not support it.

Leaked version is XNPH52Q. Version for certification is XNPH05Q.

The fact that it is not supported does not make me want it any less
In fact, I want it more than the official OTA, since this test build has the hot word wake bits, while the official OTA will not.
Frankly, I'm surprise nobody has gotten that working on the One yet, and pretty sure we could get it working pretty easily, especially with an updated ROM with it active.

I came here looking for it bc NEW CAMERA!!!! and maybe the other apps are updated too. Final CM11S should be out in a few days tho, looking fwd to what @Calkulin comes up with

Seriously the real question is why would we get another cm11s update if cm12s was almost ready?
But sure, that doesn't make it any less interesting.

Cm says don't flash
