Hi guys. I've been using Cyanogenmod 11 M6 build and the latest 4.4.2 Mahdi ROM. I have one question. I always use Chrome and I noticed that the browser no longer auto zooms when for example I'm trying to select which page to jump to on this forum. A bubble used to pop up and it would magnify the selection area. I don't remember if it was working on the stock LG 4.4.2 ROM. How come this no longer happens? The feature in Chrome I'm talking about is called link preview. On my Nexus 7 tablet running stock 4.4.2, the feature still works. There must be something in these ROMs that is somehow disabling it. Does it have to do with the LG G2's high resolution display? Can you guys test and see if you're getting the same thing? Please?

I've noticed since 4.2, any kind of grey popup overlay (such as menus and installing apps) has a weird banding effect either in the middle of the dialog or in the bottom right. Does anyone else have this problem? Was initially worried it was my screen, but I'm able to screenshot it, so I'm guessing it's a software side glitch. I have two imgur links of screenshots illustrating the problem, but can't link it since I haven't hit 10 posts yet.
Yes, I know what you mean. Running Paranoid Android 2.99b2 and M+ kernel a13. I think its an issue with 4.2 though...add it to the growing list.

well as a vine nut you can imagine how thrilled i was instagram announced its new update would allow video.
well i have tested 12 roms so far and only found 2 roms that work with the camera. i will list my own findings and hope others will so i can find the best rom for me.
all roms based on 4.1.2 seem fine. all roms based on 4.2.2 seem to have a generic rear video recording problem
1. neatrom - works fine but looks too much like stock rom for my liking
2. resurection remix 3.1.3 official- works fine but crashed on me 3 times in an hour so gave up on it
3. slimbean - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
4. avatar rom - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
5. thinkbridge - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
6. paranoid android official 3.40 - wont record at all
7. paranoid android unnoficial 3.60 - wont record at all
8. wanamlite - wont record at all
9. revolt - rom wouldnt said setup stopped responding. tried twice and wiped dalvik and fixed permissions still same so gave up
10. xenonhd - wont record at all
*edit*
11. P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[14/06][V23] - the usual green screen again
12. Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON - the usual green screen
13. GT-I9100 Vanilla RootBox [27/06][v4.1] - usual green screen
cant remember other 2 as i got rid of the files. by far my favourite 2 roms where
1. slimbean - loved the dpi - amount of icons per page - halo. everything was great except camera lol
2. thinkbridge - halo - 4.2.2
so if anyone knows of a camera fix or a way to alter the built in camera or a rom based on 4.2.2 with halo that is known to work with instagram video i would be eternaly grateful
lol dear oh dear. i finaly got it sorted with
[APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere)
this replaced my stock camera and low and behold it worked with instagram. also the photosphere worked good time
UNTIL
i find that there is now a bug in vine that i dont think will be sorted aarrgghhhh!!!!!
Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.
Best,

i dont think cm team will change itself for the sake of 1 app and i dont think vine will update itself what it considers a small user base. oh well i really am stuck on 4.1.2 lol
oh well happy hunting

its as i feared. its both their faults.
Problem is:
Video recorded on high resolution of 768xsome thing...
but video preview streaming is in 640x480 window! > APP BUG!
so video with higher resolution cant be displayed correctly.
now WHY it's working with JB STOCK kernel???
simple! it's recording on 640x480 as ROM/Kernel not allow higher...
our drivers and ROM code allow, but APP cant show the record streaming.
So when APP Dev will correct the preview streaming window to higher resolution.
problem will be solved!
i cant fix that, sorry.

instagram doesnt support a modified higher resolution and is unlikely to add the resolution as the hacked user base is too small
CM10 could add support by either an option to reduce resolution during install etc but is unlikely to as its a lot of work for a single app
as a workaround [APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere) works for instagram but vine wont work untill CM10.1 changes. i dont think thats going to happen and most 4.2.2 custom roms use CM10.1 as its core base

exactly like me ... the CM is very beautiful and fast, but these bugs really make me stick to NeatROM Lite. I also have bugs with the Spotify app (online music). And most of all: the stock keyboard from 4.1.2 is muuuuuuuuch better than AOSP.
Hi, I'm Nexus 7 2013 user and I have installed OmniROM today because I saw SplitView function, but I can't anywhere find it. I saw at video that I have to use multitask button and then choose from used apps list the second app, but there is no SplitView option. So, my question is how to turn on SplitView?

I think it's not yet merged in Kitkat Android 4.4, the videos you saw were taken using an older version of Android.
Not sure if this is in the right place/appropriate, but I noticed that the unofficial CarbonROM thread has been closed. Seeing as how Carbon recently released their first batch of KK nightlies, I figured that it would be good to have a place for bug reports, thoughts on stability, etc, at least until an official ROM thread is opened. Sort of like what is being done with PA4, although that is a bit more official than this. I have the LS980, for what it's worth(which is why I have stuff on that, I can't confirm other variants). :good:
Reported Bugs:
D800
D801
Call Echo present as of 1/30
D802
LS980
Immersive QS tile does not work(Enable through "Expanded Desktop")
VS980
Downloads: http://carbon-rom.com/downloads/
Gerrit: http://review.carbon-rom.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z
Official Changelog(Google Doc): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zcp6iVWVw_7iH-ErnKgkYy3r5QuqV8PHFoQMb8hoBwQ/edit
MMS/Voice over LTE fixed in 1/31. Also Immersive mode isn't broken, it is labeled as "Expanded Desktop," but all references to Immersive mode(QS tile and such) do nothing.
D801 - Great ROM only issue is the Echo on other end for person you are calling on original nightly. I have not checked 1/31 as of yet. Can't wait for the Echo to be gone...
This is the correct place for this thread.
Is Pie on this ROM or some version? I ran Carbon on my Rezound and loved it.

From what I understand, Carbon is waiting for the Paranoid Android Team to release the new KitKat PIE before they merge it. It may be in the old 4.3 builds though(It was on manta at least).
Couple things.
1. Someone on G+ said call echo is there on LS980. I have not been able to replicate the issue. Anybody else?
2. I seem to have Launcher3, rather than the "true" GEL. It is the same, except for GNow functionality(swipe to left to access, namely) is absent. Could be the Gapps package, I'll have to test further.
3. Anyone else unable to download today's nightly? For LS980 2/01, I keep getting bad downloads with md5 mismatches. I tried on my home Wifi and LTE, both have the same issue.
All in all, amazing. I'd like to see some more custimization options, and Halo, but all in due time I suppose. ART also works very well.

GEL (Launcher) is dependent on the gapps package. Always has been. Always will be.
On another note, this is the first time I've used Carbon. Very smooth. There are a few things that I've noticed that are "missing". I realize that they may be that way intentionally or not yet implemented. I see that you can't add custom widgets to the lockscreen. The other item is quick reply for text messages. If that's how things have always been, then that's cool.
I've also seen some buggy behavior with active display, but I'll report on that later with logs.

Checking into see if anyone knows if the other end caller ECHO is gone or ? I can't hear it , the party you are calling hears the Echo. This is for the D801 if anyone knows by chance, I just downloaded the latest yet wanted to check prior.
TIA
Running on my vs980, no issues to report. Immersive mode works as advertised, as long as you have it enabled in the carbon fibres. Then the toggle works.

Can someone say me if carbon roms have to posibility to turn off expanded mode temporarely if I am on the lock screen?
So on lock screen - statusbar
device unlocked - no statusbar
just like in RR for example.
Thanks in advance
Are there any people here that have problems with the AOSP-browser which is pre-installed on the Tegra Note (I have an Advent Vega edition)
YouTube-movie of my problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-T3R7E4s20
1. The browser-bar isn't functioning as a Google searchbar? Nothing happens when I type something
When I try another search-engine like Bing! my browser automatically stops working when trying to search for something
2. The browser-bar is allways flickering / refreshing / not going to the 100% and fully loads
3. Flash isn't incluced anymore in 4.4? But I think that's a 4.4 'feature' (which I think is crap)
So can I fix this with an .apk-file for flash, or isn't it going to work anymore on KitKat?
4. How can I make a local bookmark? Can't do it in the browser? Do I need a third party-app?
I haven't got root-acces and I'm running on the KitKat 4.4.2 Android-version, buildnumber KOT49H.16492_340.8117
Yes the Google search bar problem is really annoying.

I have the Advent Vega edition on 4.4.2 as well and I can confirm I have none of these issues (except no flash of course). I can search from the address bar, no flickering, and I can add a local bookmark by just hitting the star. So it doesn't sound like an across the board issue. Only thing I did was to reset after the 4.4.2 update. I tend to do that these days after significant updates. Mostly out of superstition but I feel it probably makes for less potential bugs...
I have EVGA note at am also seeing the same problems with aosp browser am using chrome instead but am trying to figure out a solution
