I am running Quarx's last CM10.2 build (10/30/2013) for the MB520 for a while now and I am quite happy with it. There is one issue I have found which seems to be a bug though. The problem has to do with Privacy Guard: every time I boot the phone and go to Privacy Guard to check its settings some apps seem to have been "turned off". These are Privacy Guard's Alzheimer symptoms:
The more apps you have selected, the worse it gets.
Privacy Guard does not forget the individual settings for that app, just the general on/off switch for that app is "off".
Privacy Guard does not always "forget" the same apps, but it has clear favorites for "forgetting", like Google Play Books (not a system app on my phone)
Anyone else who noticed the same problem? Is there another version of Privacy Guard which might have the bug fixed?
Thanks,
Markus

+1 just buy Nokia 1100 or 3310 and go ahead ! IMO the manufacturers try to find the way our phones will last 1 working day. This will be the flagman of the year for sure !

GREAT tip.
Thanks man.
I have noticed minor issues cyanogen 12s issues on the ONEPLUS ONE. Anyone with issue can can report them here. Hopefully everyone here has a work around or modification to fix the issue.
BT headset, have 3 different one. Pressing the button will kill the call while on GV. IDEAS?
I'm occasionally seeing the lockscreen flash up when turning the screen off.
Also, if there's a way to disable the lockscreen transparency I'd be interested to hear it - it looks rubbish.
Seeing the old issue of the notification drawer appearing in/after calls, too. Hadn't had this for a while on latest nightlies

Go to Google play services in privacy guard and deny it the permission to keep awake. Then reboot.

I don't want to reset my phone lol. Everything is working fine other than that.
color os camera problem
It worked perfectly on kitkat .
After updating to lollipop (official update) cm 12s , it seems to show some problem.
I can't see any live preview of the effects. It just shows the normal camera without any effects. But after I click, the picture comes with effect. So its just a problem about the live preview of the effects. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Plz help me.
The now infamous two halves in pictures with flash are still there. I wonder if the community could extract the camera driver from oxygenOS kernel sources (when OP will finally release them) and use them, since it doesn't happen on that ROM.

I prefer using this method. Much cleaner IMO.

I think the lockscreen flashing after the screen turns off is a lollipop thing. I noticed it when I had a nexus 5 and upgraded to 5.0. I think I noticed it out of the corner of my eye so to speak, after I had set my phone down and the screen timed out, thought it flickered/flashed but that's just the screen off animation now.
Still playing around with all the settings to see what's new (and removed) and noticed:
No longer have the ability to configure the auto-brightness settings which I actually quite liked in 11S if for no other reason that I could set the auto brightness for low light down to 0% (instead of the, what... 5% normal setting?).
Screen Color calibration wouldn't work and crashed the settings app (screen went black and I couldn't get back into settings). A reboot seems to have fixed it.
The settings app may just be buggy as it crashed again when trying to access Developer Options (screen went black and required a reboot).
EDIT: Couldn't sign into my Cyanogen account but that could be a problem on Cyanogen's side as it didn't recognize my account.
Still seems like there are a lot of new things to try and there are more options than Oxygen OS.
Switching profiles:
from owner to guest: Cyanogenmod-log crashes
from guest to owner: code to unlock phone isn't shown and no matter what you type, it always incorrect. Fixed by rebooting

no problem like yours.
but there's no led notification (when lock and screen on) only ambient flashed-up display.
i do agree that autobrightness is not working like in cm11s.
But, i do have those problems after flashing from stock cm11s 05Q and via bootloader with fastboot image from the cyngn.
And cm12s from cm11s is have this kind of lagging typing/touching to be compared if you were flashing from cm12/cm12.1, strange indeed.
I'm back on nightlies. CM12S ain't for me, thought OxygenOS was better
Lags on interactive governor
Hi guys, did you notice any lags on interactive governor in games ? It lags on cm11s too, I thought that they will fix it in today released cm12s. It didn't happen before brick of my phone, since unbrick and flash of cm11s, games are lagging so much on interactive governor. Do you know how to fix that without any change of governor, hotplug or profiles ? Thanks a lot.
Com. Google. Gapps. Continual fc so rapid about impossible use phone.. Back to O2 for now which is very smooth
All of you with issues, did you dirty flash or wipe first? it DOES matter...
Hi, I've a rooted (SuperSU) P Smart. I'm struggling with the background app killing policy: lots of apps that should remain in background and send me notifications are costantly removed (the system is also randomly killing the superuser process too!). For instance, Pushbullet is not usable, Fabulous doesn't start its rituals and so on.
Searching the net it seems that I need to add the desired apps to a "protected apps" list, but there is no such section on my phone. The only similar thing I've managed to find is "ignore battery optimization" (per app) in settings -> apps and settings -> battery, but no way.
Any suggestions?
Ok, solved... I made a factory reset, removed SuperSU and installed Magisk, the "ignore battery optimization" now works perfectly. The thread can be closed.
Hi everyone, I really hope that some of you know how to give me some info about it. I am currently using the Lineageos Pie ROM, with Magisk attached, and all without any particular problems and using both Naptime and Servicely for the Doze service. The only problem I have is with Whatsapp notifications. I don't care about the others. ROM is obviously perfectly optimized, so the app is also optimized in the "optimization" section. So I removed the flag up and left the app without optimization, because of this app I want notifications to arrive.
I removed the battery limitations, so the app can act in the background too. On Servicely is obviously the only social app to have permissions from awakening, and despite everything, the Doze affects all the apps without distinction, including Whatsapp. Now, you know, is there any .prop string, or can you give me some suggestions? I really kindly ask you for a hand. Thanks for reading.
You can tune / turn off any battery saving level for every app.
1) Just open the app,
2) after that open app drawer (app switcher)
3) hold your finger on Whatsapp application in. Then click on settings (third icon i think)
4) click battery saver / miui optimalizations
5) select None / turn off battery saver

thanks for the matrix answer, as I wrote I am already using a custom ROM and no longer MIUI; anyway I had already removed battery saver, but despite this, Whatsapp continues to be afflicted by Doze. I can not understand.

Not only you... Whatsapp Battery Drain/Consumption since the last few updates is just "yack"...
Sending the App into the Background limits notifications in a random manner etc...

did you restore WhatsApp from a backup (Titanium Backup)? if so, uninstall and reinstall from playstore, it happened to me that I did that and MIUI keeps closing it, till I reinstalled from Playstore and now it stay active
Hello everyone !
I just bought a Redmi Note 7. This morning my alarm didn't ring for some reason. I use the Google Clock. Also I can't make "OK Google" working when my screen is off. Some notifications take time to be showed. Etc.
Is the battery manager thing responsible of all those "bugs" ? Is that a weird "Greenify" ?
Since I didn't unlock the device and install a real Android ROM, any of you have a solution for alarm so my boss don't kill me tomorrow ?
Thanks for your help guys.
Settings > manage apps > clock (or any other app) > battery saver > no restrictions.
Also enable autostart in the same settings menue.
And avoid stuff like naptime, if you are not experienced with such things.
Hi there. It's probably a MIUI battery saver thing. So for all of your mission critical apps whose notifications you want to receive instantly, do this:
1) Go to app settings for the app in question
2) Toggle on Auto start
3) Turn on all notifications that you want to receive
4) Set the battery saving setting to no restrictions.
If you notice that an app still gets closed in the background for some reason, add another step:
5) Open the app and then open the Recent apps screen. Tap and hold the preview image of the app in question. Tap the first icon (lock app). This will lock it in memory and only you will be able to manually swipe it off and clear it from memory. Tapping the Close All button in Recents will not close the locked apps.
After I had done this with the apps that I wanted real time notifications from (or battery tracking apps that I wanted always running in the background), I've never had any issues with late or missed notifications.
I don't use 'OK Google' to wake the phone. I'm not sure if this is possible with all newer phones or only with specific SoCs.
Thanks for your answers. That was that battery saver options. Have a nice weekend.
