Been running CM11, for the past couple of days now, and have to say that KitKat is mighty freakin' sweet. Seems to be fast as all get out, and the new contacts/dialer/caller ID are awesome. I haven't noticed any bugs, yet. Bluetooth streaming is working perfectly. Gotta love it. :good:
been thinking of trying CM but these are the things that keep me on the stock rooted rom....
camera app saving to SD card
IR blaster
is there a way i could get these inside the Rom to work?
With most of the kitkat ROMs BT streaming is an issue and other random bugs but yes its always been fast and pretty stable from my experience.
I have to take back what I said about Bluetooth working perfectly. Today, in the car, it "gargled" a little on me, but it straightened itself out after a few seconds.
i want to try cm11 but i am stuck on mk2
I loved cm 4.4 on my gnex. Too bad I'm also stuck on mk2 now.
Ir works for me as for pictures there's modded cameras to enable pic saving to SD

So why are you with them? Plenty of other carriers out there. Vote with your wallet. Leave VZW and try Sprint or T-Mo.

I've been running cm11 since the first nightly release, and so far it has been very stable for me. Definitely a few options missing that I like, but nothing that would stop me from using it daily.

Same here. I'm loving this. I found a theme that has blacked out most everything, so the only things I'm really missing are a rotating lockscreen, and center clock.
u can get the IR blaster to work, just download that app Smart Remote (unless it doesnt work for 4.4)
Widgetlocker for rotation

Rotating lockscreen, use Widgetlocker. Depending on your LS layout it can look strange, but I keep my layout simple and the rotation works fine and looks decent enough.
Flashed the CM11 12/24 nightly today and it is awesome. Totally slick and can't wait for the usual CM features to be reintroduced!

Awesome, Thanks! Can someone post some screens when they have it installed? Also are the GApps specific to the ROM or can you use Goo for them as well?

You should check the CM10 thread such as the post below to find out about issuers before loading this ROM.
cjm2576 said:
Hi. I'm a new user of the CM10 Alpha 2 and am very thankful for the work put into it. I have encountered some issues I wanted to report. I did search the thread before posting this but it's entirely possible I missed something.
I use an app called AutomateIt to do some stuff on demand. One of those things is to enabled Bluetooth when I put the phone in the car dock. The trigger still works as the other actions I have scheduled (volume changes, etc...) still happen but BT never turns on. Oddly it IS able to turn BT off when I undock.
When I undock and turn BT off my audio appears to stop working. I no longer hear media audio nor the UI sounds when I tap. I haven't tested call audio yet to find out if that's broken. Rebooting the phone restores audio.
Apps that install themselves on the SD card disappear on reboot. I found a post where someone suggested moving these to internal, which I have done. I've had about a 50% success rate so far as some of the apps crash on launch after moving to internal.
Netflix closes immediately upon launch. Several apps close intermittently: Email, Gmail, & Flipboard are some examples.

For some reason gps is a total ***** to get working on a non-aosp phone, running aosp. I think it is because their drivers are looking for touchwiz specific stuff. Seems like most phones are plagued with this issue at some point.
Wouldn't the gs3 have the same problem? Did they fix it?

GPS with CM 10.1 nightly 2/21
I'm running the 2/21 CM 10.1 nightly and GPS is still wonky for me. Can't get a lock unless you turn off network and WiFi assist. I'm wondering if others are having the same issue but no one seems to be talking about it in the dev section. Been on CM 10.1 from the start. BT is great now but GPS is still a no-go for me.
Edit: tried fixes 1 & 2 from the Q & A and so far nothing.

On the latest nightly's (I believe starting from 2/17) GPS has been fixed, the issue before was that if you had WiFi and Mobile network location on it would not lock, but like I said it has been fixed and works exactly like it should. I can now get a lock in under 5 seconds outdoors and within 30 seconds indoors.

Jedi ROMS and GPS
I have flashed several Jedi ROMS over the last two years and I have always gone back to stock for the sole purpose of GPS. I have tried all the fixes and none of them have ever resolved the problem for me. I like many others LOVE the Jedi ROMS but require GPS to function as well as it does on stock ROM. When a GPS fix that is solid comes around, I will be right back on Jedi. I would love it if someone could find and honest clean resolution for this issue.

So, I hope others add to this thread. I learned something new to me and thought I'd share.
There were several times when I picked up my phone, and it vibrated. For no reason. I thought this was odd. But, there was a reason. I just didn't know it. I have been reading the samsung site's FAQ and was enlightened.
When you pick up your mega and it vibrates, it is telling you there is a missed call, text, voicemail or other notification waiting. It's called Smart Alert. Very convenient if you have notifications limited to 1. Never had a phone do this before. I like it!!:laugh:
I learned my Mugen 6600mah battery is a beast giving me double battery life lol naw I'm playing. Glad to see someone else noticed that vibration thing...but running custom 4.4.2 it doesn't do it anymore.cheerz
*SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
I will throw in one. On the lock screen, I added a widget for the remote. Now, I don't even have to unlock the phone to turn the tv down. I really like the IR feature.
dmn i wasnt sure what those vibrations supose to do ( for me it was more like "haha im not sleepn any more" lol )
IR is pretty sweet. what apks u use to use ur mega as remote controller?
I just use the Samsung stock WatchOn for IR remote. It works well with my dish recievers and televisions. Is there something I should look at that is better?

I like your version of that vibration!! I used to think it was just saying "HI, still here!"
I use the stock watch on too. I found this by accident. Was going thru the unfamiliar apps in the apps drawer, clicked on it and found a very cool thing!!! Works on optonline's cable box! Very cool. I have the Note 8 and never found this one. It's there though! Just had to hunt for it.
Keep um coming guys!!! Thanks for your participation! :highfive:
I just learned over the weekend that my Mega can be used an an IR remote for my Nikon camera. Does all sorts of stuff that the Nikon remote does, and for free ($4 if I want the ad-free version, which I'm considering).
I like that when I am txting someone.... I can tap on the paperclip and choose "record audio".. then it gives me over 3 minutes of yapping and yapping.. so much easier than typing or even using the voice typing.. 3 minutes of my own speech.. in a txt message!!! love it

Can someone explain exactly why knox is so bad? Does it keep you from re-rooting?
This is what I know about it so far. It makes a separate "box" of stuff so you can keep your work stuff separate from your personal stuff and your employers have the ability to control this "box" somehow. I know it can't be un-installed. That's about all my knowledge, even after checking it out!

There is no going back to older version rom if you flash a knox enabled rom. You are stuck with it. You can't install custom roms either.

Sorry, but it's no way... new firmware is one way ticket - you can't go back even if you have nandroid backup. New bootloader prevent you from downgrading. Anyway in my opinion it is only matter of time to find a way to root new firmware with KNOX. And when 4.4.2 arrives there will be no other choice than upgrade with all what it contains... and one of this things will be KNOX for sure.
Since no one is jumping in here to explain why knox is so bad, I went back to find out exactly what knox is. Read the following link from samsung's site.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox/
This explains what it is. I still need to know why it is so bad for devs to get around it. Any one???
What I got so far after reading the above link is it is attached to the bootloader, and the kernel, so if anyone messes with these components, the phones senses it and shuts down the phone. Is this the huge block associated with the att version and knox in general?
I ha e discovered that in my text window, when I hit vol + or - , my text size will increase or decrease. Hmmmmm.

This has nothing to do with knox
The bootloader will block any older roms.
But it's still possbile to flash an older rom through custom recovery
