[KK] [4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11.0 [ROM] [WEEKLY BUILDS ON FRIDAY]

[Guest xzx]

Is there still that problem that when update via cyanogenmodupdater google play starts saying no connection?

I would like  to update without full wipes.

Yes,i agree with we, our own way is always the best way, and this the first time that my way fails :D

I did allt the wipes, installed other versions of the application, and still nothing, back to the build  1213, everyday we see another build coming out so it's not a big problem

I had the same problem, but it's now working in today's nightly 1215.

 

(BTW, thanks Daz, truely awesome work!)

I still don't see my question answered earlier on:

How do I install the rom on SD card only (not the internal one, I bought a 32 GB one)

 

If that is imposible, how do I put all the apps on the SD and maybe even turn the sd as primary app install spot?

Download the rom to your lappy or pc. Connect your phone via usb to the computer, like you would when charging it. Connect it as a media centre. The computer will recognise the phone as Huawei U8815 or it may recognise the 2 cards in the phone, depending on which OS you have on the computer.. Open the folder that contains the rom in your computer . Then Copy and paste the rom from the computer to the larger of the 2 cards showing, as this will be the 32gb card.

 

Hope this helps.

Great work again, daz. :D

 

One question: Is possible move apps to SD card? I found that in the last build is not possible, giving a error.

Ok, thanks. One last question: How about the SMS's? I cannot receive them...

It will only be fixed when Google have updated the apps in gapps. Every time you flash a new ROM to /system it wipes the old /system. Gapps resides in /system UNLESS the individual packages are updated(play store, gmail, services etc). If you reflash your gapps.zip it puts back to /system the missing apks. The rest is kept in /data.(That's how me thinks it works anyhow)

It seems like the installation problem of apps that uses SD and the app moving to SD will be fixed in the next build. (But check the changelog tomorrow)

I never had problems with SMS sending and receiving.

This is not how it works. There is a script in /system/addon.d for gapps backup and restore for ROM update. In reality, on the update process, the script make a backup of the data defined in the script. After formatting the /system and install the new ROM, the script restore the saved data to /system.

Update your gapps to the latest version. (see my signature)

Install the pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131214-purge_offline_speech-signed.zip then the pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.2-20131214-stripped-signed.zip then wipe dalvik cache.

Thanks rhen. Thats good to know. :)

 

About the SMS's, i have flashed the latest build (15-12) and your gapps (in your signature), and is working fine now. The app is working and also the sent/receave of SMS's. :)

good to know, since the only build with this problem is 1213 i was a little bit scared by the fact that the new releases might have the same problem

Working fine here. I use ext4 partition. Still using default internal SD if that makes any difference. Oh, you might want to check you have some free space in /system for link2sd to write the script.

Thank you wbrambley and rhen now link2sd works with my ext3 partition after deleting the offline speech.

[Guest Balerion]

Let me know if the next build fixes the problem with installing apps on the SD card guys, I am still on the EXPERIMENTAL build because the only bug that bothered me was that one.

Also, having skipped some posts, what is the optimal method to install this ROM without getting problems? (No launcher, play store error etc.) :) ?

Wipe Data/cache/dalvik -> Flash Recovery R7 (if is not already) and reboot recovery -> Flash latest EXPERIMENTAL or NIGHTLY zip -> Flash Gapps from rhen (http://www.modaco.com/topic/367187-gapps-for-cm11-last-updated-2013-12-14/ ) -> Reboot -> Enjoy

 

I have done that and everything is smooth...

:D

[Guest Amonshy]

I use this Gapps http://www.modaco.com/topic/367187-gapps-for-cm11-last-updated-2013-12-14/ but the app of Play Store doesn't appear to me as installed. Can someone help me?

Run the Offline speech recognition files eraser module then install the latest GApps. The order is important.

Wipe dalvik cache before reboot.

That is fine. Do you have play store now?

[Guest Amonshy]

No

[Guest rhen]

No

Can you check that /system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk exists on your phone?

And how many free space you have on /system? In file manager, go into the /system, "click" to the small padlock then storagesomething.

Free space: 4kb, Use space: 378 Mb

 

Phonesky.apk exists  size: 0 bytes

[Guest rhen]

Phonesky.apk doesn't exist.

You don't have enough space to install gapps properly.

 

Do you installed the Offline speech recognition files eraser and the GApps from here? http://www.modaco.com/topic/367187-gapps-for-cm11-last-updated-2013-12-14/

If you installed it, and you still have not enough space, something was left on the /system partition.

 

PlanB:

- Download the latest nightly from http://getcm.thebronasium.com/

- Download the latest GApps from my signature.

- Copy it to your SD card.

- Boot into CWM and format /system (under the mounts and storage options) and wipe dalvik cache. (not the factory reset, under the mount and storage options)

- Install the latest nightly then the latest gapps from your SD card.

 

This doesn't delete your data or installed apps.

@rhen

 

one noob question. do i have to reflash gapps every time a flash a new nightly ?

thx
