[Q] Q&A CM11 - HTC Amaze 4G

Sorry if this thread already exists.
You have no idea how happy I am this ROM exists!! But I cannot get SMS working. I get FC's on every SMS app I try including Hangouts. Anybody else getting this and/or have a remedy? Thanks

I was about to post the same error here, I have an Amaze with Videotron, S-Off, Super CID, HBOOT-1.93.2222 (JuopunutBear), TWRP as a recovery.
I tried everything, I tried different Gapps, I also tried without installing Gapps, I tried sms apps from the Play Store and Hangouts too. The only thing I haven't tried is formatting my internal SD card. (it was a clean install, all formatted and cache cleared). I also tried switching to ART but I had the same problems.
Everytime I try to just open the sms apps, the app crashes. I managed to see the error once and it was something about SQL but it might be a misinterpretation from my part.
Calls, 4G and WiFi were all working perfectly too.
After some research on Google, I tried installing busybox, xposed framework and uninstalling Voice+, but nothing works. The basic messaging app just closes without any kind of message and other apps show that it stopped working.
(I tried the Evervolv rom 4.4 and SMS were working on that one, maybe it's a setting with my network type as I am on Videotron in Canada and it is using AWS, maybe a setting under *#*#4636*#*# ??)
I want to contribute and sen some log of that error, how can I do that? I am familiar with roms, kernels, etc but not that much with logs... I tried many roms before and never got that specific problem...
Thanks to anyone who can help with this issue!

It's not just you SMS simply doesn't work on this rom and I was surprised to see that no one else pointed this out in the original thread. The default Messaging app closes immediately when you try and open it. Other SMS apps also crash either immediately upon opening them, or when you try to send a message (hangouts & SMS Pro for example). This is the only thing keeping me from using this amazing rom as my DD.

I have the same exact problem with SMS- will try the evervolv 4.4 though was really looking forward to CM11
Edit: also didnt have any other problems with the rom except for the black boxes and the camera

Let's hope there is a way to fix it!
I would post the question in the official thread but I do not have enough posts to do so unfortunately

Heck I couldn't even try SMS due to the black box issue, that's why I didn't mention it in the original thread.

For those with the black box issue--are you using the correct gapps?
In olden days there were some issues with some google things not working, and people uninstalling the ones that came in gapps and downloading them fresh from the play store.
Have you gone into recovery and fixed permissions?
Again, in days of yore, this might straighten some things out.
Is it possible that black-boxing has something to do with CPU frequency, and is it possible to tweak up the speed through developer options and lose the boxes?
I haven't tried this rom yet, as I'm currently sticking with the stable(r) cm10.
Good luck.

anybody get the SMS working on this ROM so far?

The black box issue has nothing to do with GPU or CPU speeds. There are discussions on the dev threads. The issue affects other legacy devices on various KK based source builds, not just Amaze and CM. The consensus is this seems to be related to the default browser which has changed in KK. This would also explain why it effects other gapps too.

Not that I'm aware of.

Media Issues
The ROM is pretty good for the most part.
I just have this problem where Play Music gives this error, "Cannot play the music track you requested"
I clear my media storage and try to rescan my SD card but none of the apps work. They all crash.
Is there anyway to fix this?

as the OP says and i quote that only non working things are
1. camera exposure
2. tethering
but as the thread goes ahead we read more prolems/bugs
May i ask what is the current status for bugs/not working and other issues and what has been fixed and any other stuff we should flash over the ROM like driver, may it be upoaded to the OP for ease as its reall hard to search for those things on mobile app. thank you and good luck.

Anyone else have issue disabling their microphone while in a call? I tried with both the speaker phone and regular handset mode, the "no mic" icon enables but my caller can still hear me. The Hold button seems to work fine though.
FYI, it took a while for the battery to figure itself out. I wiped the battery stats before flashing everything and the first few days I got a lot of jumping battery levels. I let it charge all the way down as much as I could then rebooted and did a full charge and rebooted again and then full charge again. That seemed to reset the battery level to the correct state.
I also , enabled Device/GPS only for the location detection other wise the google services at 50% or more battery.
I'm running the 2014-02-16 build, with the updated video drivers.

Camera is not working
I have also installed this pacman rom 4.4.2. all is well instead of camera.

Any updates for the camera isssue??

Since PAC uses the CM device tree for its source any issues with CM will also be evident in PAC. Until the CM devs are able to resolve the camera exposure issue it will exist in both ROMs.

Think about your question for a minute. Have you seen any recent posts in the CM dev thread indicating an update which solves this issue? If you had just taken a moment to look at the dev thread instead of posting this you would have answered your own question. It's not like the CM-11 thread is incredibly long, it's only 28 pages total. This post is just laziness on your part and an unnecessary waste of bandwidth.

is there any alternate app in the market, i tried couple of apps but nothing useful

@Odysseus1962
If I were to compile AOSP, which variant would you suggest for me to build?

epinter CM10 questions/bug list

Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.
Anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

I am not talking about chrome itself I was talking about the chrome to phone app that works with the desktop chrome add on. I should have specified a little more.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chrometophone&hl=en
I use this all the time with going between my phone, my work, and my home computers.
So is there a work around to install flash on CM10. Also mkv files do not work even with mx player correct? Anything else that doesn't work? A complete list would be appreciated!

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.
Now this ROM is running like butter!

[Q] cm 10.1 can't update google apps

This seems like a common problem, but I haven't seen this specific form of it, so I'll lay it out.
Running CM10.1 I get the common Play Store error "insufficient storage available" when I try to update apps. I've recently noticed that it only happens with apps with "Google Inc" listed as the developer. Everything else works fine. I've tried wiping every cache I can find. I've tried booting in recovery and wiping the cache (including the Dalvik cache) that way.
I've uninstalled the updates to the Play Store app and related system framework. I have not tried uninstalling the updates to any other Google apps, because I'm currently unable to update or install any Google app.
As much as I hate to admit it, I've even tried Lucky Patcher. It has worked for me in the past with similar issues, but not this time.
A cursory Google seems to suggest that this problem is gone (or at least MUCH less common) in CM11, but CM11 hasn't been released for the Note 2 yet.
Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to reflash, because that's not a solution. I'll just have the same problem again in a month. If nothing else works, I will reflash, but I really don't want to.

Maybe I'll give that a try. If I have to flash, I'd really rather be certain that it will solve my problem without creating new ones. If I flash a nightly, then decide I need to go back to the 10.1 release, I'll feel like I wasted a day trying to get blood from a stone since I could have just reflashed my current rom and only set everything up once.
It's not the flashing that bothers me. I'll flash four devices before breakfast and not even blink. I actually enjoy the hackery. It's the hour of work flipping through all the system settings and installing apps to get things running the way I like them that makes me want to flash as infrequently as possible.
But two important questions remain. First (and most relevant): is this issue (inability to update Google apps) as common and crippling in CM 11 as it is in CM 10? Second: does CM 11 restore the "move app to SD card" button to the app manager?
To be honest, that's more important to me. Less relevant to this conversation, but more important to my workflow. It's actually a dealbreaker. I love CM, but I'll flash back to CleanVZW before I load another OS that doesn't give me that functionality.

Anyone having issues with your device heating up?
This is amazing, one great first lollipop build. Most of my issues had easy fixes and I can live without some other things. Now all I want is xposed to be updated to run on ary and I'll be awesome.
Just flashed seems to be very snappy. Can confirm moto 360 with smart unlock works! Facebook works fine for me. However SD card won't read probably because its formatted exfat. Had the data bug upon reboot. But just rebooted and it was fine again. MMS works and so does GPS. Overall a very good first build

Same here. also, I'm having problems staying connected to WiFi.
It seems like if I have the screen off too long it loses WiFi connection. (could be a coincidence with the screen off) I go back I to WiFi settings and reconnect to the network.
So far, so good.
For a first build, this is running remarkably well. I HAVE to give it up to the dev team, notably ivisiblek, and Codefire and the Bump! team for making this all possible, and furthermore for working so diligently and quickly just so we could all have a little more fun with our devices.
That being said, for the sole purpose of hopefully helping solve issues in further builds, here are the bugs I've experienced:
Major:
Random reboots. This is to be expected, but still.
Data is flaky. It works for the most part, but after crashes, device will often start up with no working 4G or data of any kind. Rebooting normally usually fixed it.
Device seems to be running warmer than usual.
Minor:
Cannot play video. Device resets upon trying to play a video file in Chrome or Snapchat. No other apps tested but it can be assumed that for the most part videos will result in a crash.
Gesture typing on the AOSP keyboard doesn't work. I don't know if this is a localized issue or a build issue. I tried downloading the Google Keyboard to combat this, but experienced a crash every time I tried to open Google Keyboard. Regular typing on AOSP keyboard works fine.
EDIT: Also, for those experiencing any problem playing music through Google Play or Apollo or whatever music player, go into Dev Settings and switch from "Nu Player" back to "Awesome Player".
Loving It.
From what I've noticed:
Flashed with TWRP and all went well. (Don't get mad at OP if it doesn't work for you).
ROM is gorgeous...only slightly buggy, which is incredible.
Individual contact view FC's from outside Contacts app. i.e. when clicking contact picture in Messages.
APN + Network select fixes data
NuPlayer option change fixes Music
Usable as DD thus far.
Fantastic work...looking forward to future releases.
html5 video?
Has anyone had the issue with phone crashing when playing html5 video?

Actually, that's a problem with all the lollipop roms that I have tried for the e970 (and most of the KK, except for some the MAKO based). Seems that our camera is quite difficult to please....
BTW dandrumheller, it seems that you have tried most of the roms out there for our device, which one did you find more stable? At the time I'm using the official CM12 with Solid Kernel and in my opinion is really good (except for the camera and the bluetooth address, which aren't dealer breakers for me). Thanks.

I actually haven't tried many of the Lp roms. Candy5 has been the most stable and battery efficient for me. Had some issues with bsod on beanstalk 5.0, though 4.4 versions were excellent. Blisspop has been quite stable, but uninspiring in terms of battery life. My phone hates solid kernel - tons of freeze and crash issues. In general I seem to have better luck with mako based roms. Have not tried CM12 yet.

Cool. I might try Candy5 and see how it goes. Thanks for you answers!
I'm having an issue where the contact names aren't showing up in the stock messenger, or gosms (haven't tried at other). The full number shows, but never the names. I've tried clearing caches and data on contacts and messengers. Tried resyncing the contacts from Google. I've double checked the privacy guard settings. Basically, I've searched around and tried everything I can think of, but still no luck! So I figured I'd ask the experts! Any ideas???
Ive noticed a few other minor issues. ...
I've had the problem with not being able to move the download, as someone mentioned above. Ive had to connect to PC, transfer from phones internal storage to the PC, then back to EXT SD card in the phone.
The 2/13 build does seem to be a little harder on the battery, and runs a lil warm (also mentioned above). I haven't had any crashing issues, but can feel the temp difference over the average.
Possibley related to the heat and battery issues; I noticed that there are two interfaces for the CPU/GPU clocking and scheduling, under the Performance section of System Settings. Maybe there's a conflict happening there? From memory, I don't remember the "Device Control" section being there in the previous build. It seems redundant to have both. Although Device Settings is much more robust, and I would prefer it be integrated instead of keeping the old, minimal interface. Some adjustments to Device Settings, while disabling the other minimal settings on boot, seems to have helped with heat and battery drain a little bit.
No problems with GPS, that I've noticed
Titanium Backup v6 has problem gaining root access in all cm12 ROMs I've tried. To fix, go to Titanium BU Preferences, scroll to bottom, select Troubleshoot Options (or something like that), and highlight/select the option to force the app to use the SYSTEM busybox, not the one baked into Titanium BU. Restart the app, and root works. Also worth mentioning is that you may have to enable root access under Developer Options in System Settings before any app can gain root. Otherwise, no issues with root, or Super SU.
Hi,
After using Beanstalk 4.4 for several months, finally I tried first LP based ROM BlissPop...so far it seem good, only couple of crashes in last week, few issues are present that are highlighted already (like camera panorama not working...battery life affected).
Since last couple days, the strange issue is being encountered, when i get a call, phone rings but there is no interface to receive the call, i then have to go to call screen and there it says "return to the active call" when i click, i get to the screen where i can receive the call. This started happening without any updates so not sure what caused it? I even tried latest version of ROM but same issue present.
Any ideas?
P.S: thanks to everybody who contributes to this excellent site, i have been a regular reader of the site but got to post something today for the first time.

I actually haven't tried many of the Lp roms. Candy5 has been the most stable and battery efficient for me. Had some issues with bsod on beanstalk 5.0, though 4.4 versions were excellent. Blisspop has been quite stable, but uninspiring in terms of battery life. My phone hates solid kernel - tons of freeze and crash issues. In general I seem to have better luck with mako based roms. Have not tried CM12 yet.

Okay, it turned out to be a feature that some one must have activated on my cell (my little kiddo likes to tinker with my cell)
In App Notification section, Dialer was blocked and that was causing it to not show up whenever i got a call.
Its working great now

system control issue
I went through all 9 pages of the thread and didnt notice anyone else having this issue. In 2.2 under performance and then system control app when one goes to features and then vibration intensity it just force closes on me...is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions on what I can do to fix?
So I'd like to see what was being discussed in the normal thread for this great rom but the following link isn't working and since I'm a forum baby I'm not allowed to post in the grownup thread... Can anyone help me out with this? Does anyone check this side of the thread?

Also, the last build(the one before latest) ... The vibration control in performance>device control was fixed and working.... In the latest build it's broken once again and force closing every time I select it. Just wanted to mention in case no one is aware of it.
So if 4.8.15 is the latest build why does the ota update app found in the app drawer ask me to update to the latest version so my configuration will be appropriate for ota updates? Is there something specific I have to do in order for that feature to work properly?
Lol is this thing on?
In the latest build, was the performance tab in settings cut out of the build?

It contained the free app that allowed you to do all kinds of different things with the phone...I forget what it was called....I know part of the file name was x.nameless rom.com
You can try kenvinjoa kernel or nitro kernel
Does this build allow encryption?

Stable roms?

Can everyone post a list of stable roms for I717? I don't like going through the trouble of backing up all my data and flashing a new rom only to have it crash multiple times per day and have something like bluetooth not work reliably at all. Maybe some people enjoy playing with that (a lot of the most popular roms at the top of the forum are like this), but I don't!
I'll start the list and say that Beanstalk 4.4 is extremely stable, only had it reset on me twice in one year, and bluetooth works 100%. Only issue is that you can't move apps to SD so you run out of space quick (thanks to kitkat). I'd love to find something above kitkat this stable...
And I'll add some that I have tried and failed:
Candy5: No matter what Gapps I tried (yes pico etc), none of them installed and even after going through every suggestion in the thread I could not get a simple google play installed. Stock browser crashes every 2 minutes.
Pac-rom: Promising but crashes 10+ times per day. Often does not power on unless you boot into recovery and select reboot. GPS is terrible, google maps often loses it's place and gives turn-by-turn directions 60 seconds too late. Stock browser crashes all the time as well.
CM: Bluetooth reliability is terrible. Quincyatt not updated since 2014.
Sounds like you should stick with beanstalk or return the device to stock. When you rooted your device, it opened up security issues so it'll never be as solid as you'd like. What hasn't been updated since 2014?

CM for I717.
I don't like going back to stock because IMO it's less secure (heartbleed is a pretty big security hole). If you leave root access disabled and don't download shady apps a custom rom isn't any more insecure.

Edit: Just seen you have tried my roms? You should check the dates on them because most are from 2015. If you need more help than that then post in the thread for the rom you need help with. Read read read. Your issue with gapps has been discussed over and over again! Nobody is here to spoonfeed anyone.

Sorry ment stock CM, here download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=quincyatt
Just listing the roms I've tried and have been unusable (crashing 1 or more times per day and something major like bluetooth being unreliable)

Yes, I tried every suggestion in the thread and it still didn't work. After trying pac-rom for a couple days (and having it crash 20+ times) I just tried wiping it and flashing candy again, and now Gapps with google play worked the first time with no troubleshooting. Shrug.
Seems rock-solid so far though. Can't post in that thread since I have too few posts, so one question, if I do the OTA download for the new 4.0, can I just flash it on top of my 3.9 version or do I need to wipe everything and start over? Also, under Settings, Apps, if I click an app and move to SD card, it will sit there and say "moving" forever. If I exit settings and come back sometimes the app will actually show moved to SD list though.
And the stock calendar app doesn't seem to let me log in, it says "Sign in to get the most out of your device". Then I enter the email I've always used and it says "This account already exists on your device." But there's no other way to actually select that account. What am I doing wrong?

Don't do the OTA yet since BB won't let me upload my roms. The ota notification is a fluke. You'll have to flash the rom fresh between trying to find the right gapps which will work on your device. Candy is the most stable of all my builds currently.

The ota is ready now if you wish to try that.

Still can't post in the main thread but:
-If you turn on "Directly show pattern view", nothing shows on the lock screen besides the dots (time, weather, owner info, notifications).
-I had the dreaded bluetooth bug happen the other day, do you get many reports of this? (bluetooth stops working while streaming music, and does not turn back on until a phone reset).
-Stock calendar cannot be logged into (edit: just installed the google calendar from the app store which worked fine)
Unfortunately these are all deal breakers for me but I really like the rom otherwise, I don't want to switch back
Any way to enable HDMI output? (I have the adapter which worked before).

Must be on stock based rom and that being said, not all of those work. I know Saurom, Blackstar Blackjelly and OnlyOne Goldie work.
Edit: on my device.

I heavily utilize the "Move to SD card" option because otherwise the default storage doesn't hold more than 10 or so apps, but I've had a problem with Candy5 twice now where my phone will crash, and upon reboot, all the apps that were moved to SD card are gone. Anyone else encounter this?
I wish I could post in the normal thread.
Installed the latest Candy5 20151031, did a complete wipe of everything per the instructions, and after installing 1 app (gmail), the phone reboot the first time gmail opened while placing the gmail widget down.
Here's a list of ROMs I've tested:
BlackSTAR XI - Best ROM for the i717. Super stable and fast.
CM Official - Good, but very buggy. SD card breaks, phone reboots often, HW overlays, etc.
Padawan - Not much new here, just a simple modded version of stock. Very stable but not too fast.
Candy5 - Very laggy, as LP is still in development for i717.
CM11 Unofficial - A bit laggy, HW overlays.
All in all I'm a huge fan of BlackSTAR XI, best ROM I've seen so far.

-Which CM official version (10.1, 10.2,etc)? HW overlays can be worked around by switching off in developer options.
