[Q] Update from ARHD 3.0 to 3.3

Hey guys. I am fairly new to Android especially to flashing ROMs and stuff. I flashed ARHD 3.0 couple of weeks ago and Mike has released the 3.3 and am looking to update to it now. Now I have searched through ARHD 3.X thread and read that you only need a patch to update to 3.3 but the only thing I see is the downloading ROM option which is around 250 MBs on the 1st post. So is there a patch or do I download the 250 MB file everytime I wanna update.
Appreciate any help in advance
Cheers

Therese is no patch file. You have to download the komplett file but you only need to whipe dalvik catch and battery stat. You have all your setting there after upgrade.

I see you got an answer, so I hope you don't care of me asking something similar. (starting a new thread seems annoying)
I'm currently using ARHD 3.2,
I see that mike wrote: "- No full wipe needed if you have 3.0/3.1/3.2 already installed"
So I just need to flash the new version over the old one through recovery?
Will it keep my applications, settings, and everything else? (I'm planning to do a backup anyway, of course).

[Q] CM7 nightly doubts.

Few n00b questions.
Firstly, how do i flash a nightly on my phone? lets say im running ofw 2.2 SEA edition? Do i follow the same procedure as if to flash RC1... do i also need to flash gapps similarly.
Secondly, are the links on quarxs' CM7 for defy thread up-to-date? or are there newer versions of gapps and nightlies floating around somewhere
Third, i have noticed that there is an issue with network and wi-fi when i flash cm7 RC1 over the nordic sbf. when i go back to official 2.2 SEA there is no hassle at all. Since i live in india i was wondering if that was the issue. I can easily take care of the network problem using "baseband switcher for defy" but it still doesnt help the wi-fi problem.
My question is.. will using the new BOOTSEA nightly solve this problem. I am assuming from the name is boot"SEA" im assuming its built southeastasia specific.
Fourth, ive used CM7 RC1 for a while and apart from the wifi issue i got problems with camera and video... it absolutely doesnt work, wether it be in potrait or landscape or whatever setting... the app just force closes. Any fixes for that.. ive got green lens.
please help!!! and i hope other similar questions can be added by members here so as to make this thread an FAQ for distressed users like me.
Thanks

--> I'd say install RC1 and gapps first, then try a nightly by just wiping cache and Dalvik - no need to install gapps again since they're on your phone now. If you install a BOOT version and want to go back to an earlier CM7 nightly, then you might want to start from scratch, reflash froyo and install RC1 + gapps again.
Secondly, are the links on quarxs' CM7 for defy thread up-to-date? or are there newer versions of gapps and nightlies floating around somewhere
--> mostly up to date, but I don't worry about gapps too much as I believe that the Market gets updated automatically anyway (but I might be wrong about that). On the OP, the link to the gapps should show you up to date versions; but read the comments on there - very important.
Third, i have noticed that there is an issue with network and wi-fi when i flash cm7 RC1 over the nordic sbf. when i go back to official 2.2 SEA there is no hassle at all.

My question is.. will using the new BOOTSEA nightly solve this problem. I am assuming from the name is boot"SEA" im assuming its built southeastasia specific.
---> same here my wifi DL speed was really bad for the last month or so on CM7; only after BOOT179-4 install, my wifi speed somewhat got back to normal.
Fourth, ive used CM7 RC1 for a while and apart from the wifi issue i got problems with camera and video... it absolutely doesnt work, wether it be in potrait or landscape or whatever setting... the app just force closes. Any fixes for that.. ive got green lens.
---> My camera and video worked on RC1 (and earlier) but video recording had some chopiness at times. Around July 11th nightly, Quarx released a camera fix (in that nightly) that solved the problem for me. But then days later, on newer nightly builds, I got the FC problem on video camera (same as you but red lens here). Then with BOOT179-4, camera was fine again and so the wifi speed; so all good for me.
--------> I really don't know what's going on with the video camera: many poeple have problems and many have it working on every nightly builds. It has been a problem from day one for Quarx on CM7-jordan... You have to try and see which build works for you I guess. And like you said, BOOT-SEA definitely looks like something you should try - many people liked it and many people say yesterday nightly is the best for them so far... so go on and have fun with testing
---> Before you do more testing though, you can always do a backup from the custom recovery so it will be easy for you to restore your current phone state -if nothing improves. I do this all the time: stock recovery factory reset, nordic flashing, RC1 install then restore my (BOOT179-4 now) backup.
Please help!!! and i hope other similar questions can be added by members here so as to make this thread an FAQ for distressed users like me.
---> I did try to help - I hope I did! If so, you can use that "Thanks" button - hehe!
---> Not sure that a thread entitled "nightly doubts" will become a very popular
FAQ thread though

i went thru the whole FAQ but my doubts are regarding the nightlies which it doesnt address hence the thread.
thx for the concern though.

downloaded the BOOTSEA, but there is another file "cm7-110726-0018-BOOTSEA-Jordan.zip.md5sum" mentioned below it. ( there are similar md5sum files for all nightlies...) are they essential ? and how do i use them.
wanted to clarify before proceeding.

Md5 files are to verify your download is not corrupted one. Which you can compare the md5 after downloading the zip file and regenerating the md5 of downloaded file and check against the one in the server.

No problem.
Go read here on the official CM7-jordan thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654&page=943
And from post 9429 particularily; pretty much goes in the same direction I was pointing at regarding the wifi and video camera...
How's the BOOTSEA doing for you?

The nightly ones is just the output that the ones who are working on the rom ups to us. Normally have all that part on topic that say "next version:..."
If you wanna try the nightly one, use as the *.zip that you download when got the "rc1 v2" for exemple. So wipe the phone, choose install from a zip of the sdcard and choose the *.zip, been it the rc1 or the nightly build.
The md5sum file is the one that contains the 5sum from the file. Its nornaly given when you have to download a big file and have fear to corrupt the file. If you use linux, go on terminal and type "5sum file" when file is the name of any file that you have. It will give you a big number. This is the 5sum. The *.md5sum have the 5sum of the respective *.zip nightly rom.

[Q] IceColdSandwich - 6.2 - AOKP | CBR1000 EDITION (Update.zip)

On march 19, I flashed this wonderful ics rom....and it was the latest ver (6.1)......but after few days, new ver 6.2 of it with new changelog was posted........I just wanted to ask that can u post a link of the update rather than downloading the whole rom and flash it again for 6.2 please...
I just love this fast ics rom.....
Thanx in advance!

Solution!
It is in the text, so I think it is clear
ROMS
ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy ICS. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, flash it, and go!
You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behaviour.

thanx piscaulos........very appreciated man.
just waiting to have a video rec and playback working.....and after this...its gonna create history!
peace!

[4.4] CyanogenMod 11 nightlies

They are released officially und http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=n1 :victory:
With the lastest "cm-11-20140126-NIGHTLY-n1.zip" I get no location data - wich makes the N1 unusable for Maps, Foursquare, Ingress aso..
Switches back to "cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-n1.zip" everything works fine again.

Flash with stock recovery?
Is there a way to flash a nightly build with the sotck recovery? If not how to change the recovery? Thx

You will not be able to flash this with the stock recovery. I imagine once it goes stable CM will push out an official update that will work on the stock recovery setup.
Until then, TWRP works great: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537080

I bet I could make that happen. Probably just a reverse of what I do to make it flash in TWRP instead of stock. I bet I could add the first line back in and have it flash properly.

Flashify works great for installing TWRP, just backup your stock recovery first, that way you can flash it back before rebooting recovery and flashing colour OS. 27th Nightly is available.

I'm 90% certain stock recovery will not flash nightlies, as it will only flash ZIPs signed with specific signing keys.
Unless CM is signing their nightly ZIPs with the same key as their "official" releases, which is highly unlikely.

Correct. Currently since they're coming direct from CM as nightlies, they aren't final stable versions. Those will be released like the other two were, and I'm sure will be built to flash in the N1 Stock Recovery.

Location not working
location still not working on latest nightly (130214).
anyone has any idea on how to fix it? the 240114 nightly is not longer on the getCM servers.

Anyone on M6? Thoughts?
I went straight from CM10.2 (CM edition N1) to 11 M6, so I don't know how battery life compares with Omni or other ROMs... would love to hear from those of you that have tried other ROMs and can compare with M6.
With M6, I am getting ~4% battery drain over 7 hours overnight (2G network on only).

All People Update CM. there is the cm-11-20140724-NIGHTLY
First update to the latest nightly in CM page, after that you can update via OTA in your phone, there is Daily updates!!
O-Click, Works, meaby a second lag (while focusing?)
O-Touch Works, not as the touchpad of your lap but works, And for some reason changing the VM to ART works better for me.
3G works
Battery last very good, and its suposed to las more in stand-by if you use ART instead of Dalvik
ART works well by the way.

Sorry to bump a 3 year old thread for such an unrelated reason, but you have PMs disabled, and, well, CM11 is not that appealing anymore so I'm confident not many people are gonna read this anyway [any mods reading this, please spare my soul :silly: ]
That said, I just wanted to ask you why you rated my porting of LAOS 15 Trebuchet so poorly, since you didn't leave any comment; if it's some bug, crash or other error i can look into it.
BTW you can answer me on the app's thread if you wish (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageos-15-trebuchet-laucher-rom-t3667436)

Thank you for leaving your feedback, here are some answers to your points:
- (update mechanism) i actually caught a nasty bug in XDA Labs web console which prevents me from uploading new builds there (and I also deleted all previous reviews in the attempt to reupload the app ??); (i already filed a bug report and managed to get the dev's attention so I hope it gets fixed soon)
- (open source) being a porting, the app mostly shares the original staging/trebuchet15.1 source code, with only a handful edits for fixing crashes due to compatibility errors (and is built with gradle plugin 2.3.3 instead of 3.0.1)
- (very buggy) it inherits all current staging/trebuchet15.1 bugs, not that much from my tests, but yes, there are some

Updating twrp without a pc ?

My laptop blew up a capacitor, i have twrp 2.6 x x i we need 2. 7 x x for cm11. Is there a way to update without a pc ?

Download it on the kindle, flash the zip from inside of twrp, reboot into twrp again and you will notice the version is newer. If you have issues downloading the zip on your kindle just tell me I could temporarily host it somewhere for ya.

you can download HashCode's TWRP Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218802
and install from your current TWRP, just as you flash a ROM.

Thanks guys
thanks both of ya, one last question.
for the official cm11 release, the nightly mean u guys keep wiping and installing new os everyday ?
Is there any older release with no bugs ? If they did nightlies for older versions, one of them must have all bugs fixed right ?

CM nightly build works good for me, you don't need to wiping new buld everyday, just choise one.
CM team will release a new month build every month, that build will be better than nightly build.
It takes time for the CM team to build a ROM with no bugs, so, just be patient.

I installed the 4/14 unofficial CM11 build that Hashcode posted over in development and am stunned at how well it works! I'll be sticking with this one for the interim. The TWRP upgrade is necessary, but Hashcode made it easy (see link in gatalon's post). In my case, I think it may have even fixed a long standing issue I had.
I've had my kindle HD 8.9" for over a year now, and have always been disappointed with it's performance. Even after I rooted it and put the CM10.1 build on it, it still exhibited weird sluggish, unresponsive behavior. This upgrade to TWRP 2.7 and CM11 has made all the difference in the world. All the weird sluggishness is magically gone.
It was noticeable as soon as I used TWRP 2.7 to wipe everything out. I'm half suspecting I had something wonky going on with the file system that wasn't getting addressed with the older version of recovery. I noticed 2.7 explicitly states that it's calling mkfs during the wipe process where the older version didn't. My uneducated theory is that the older version, 2.6.0.0, just deleted everything where the newer version is actually re-formatting the partitions. I could be way off base though. Just happy it's finally working like I thought a piece of hardware like this should! :victory:

No wipe is needed (normally) when updating from one CM official nightly to a subsequent one. It will even detect if the engine has changed and recompile the davlik cache as needed. Personally, I'm a big fan of wiping cache (and only cache) with each new build and I also install any update PA GApps when available ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 ).
Caveat emptor: The CM team makes ever effort to make builds backwards compatible, but always take a backup and be prepared to do a factory reset / data wipe. It very rarely is needed, but you don't want to need a backup and not have one!

If the problem hasn't already been solved, here is an alternative: fireflash. Look it up.
