Hey guys,
I just flashed the CM7 RC, which CM stated to pretty stable and fine for everyday use. I downloaded the RC from within ROM Manager and did a wipe. Install went perfect and everything was as it should be. I then go into Market to download the Google Apps. When I try to open any of these apps though they all force close. I went and tried to download a few other apps(FB, Twitter, etc) and they all do the same. The apps that came with the ROM (Torch, FileManager,ROM Manager) all work fine...
I tried a reboot, but the problems continue.
I guess I'll try to flash again form the SD-Card this time to see if it has the same problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Incredible510
Read through the development thread, people are having problems with rc 1 build.
For the time being, im sticking to nightliessince they are stable most of the time.
Ok thanks.
Do you know the differences between the RC and the nightly builds?

From what i have gathered, nightlies continue to be in development wirh new rhings being added. Rc are bundled wirh the most best applicable things and left as is...or to shiw what the final build will look like.
Nightlies continue even after final build most of the time.
A senior member might want to chime in on this as well.
Edit....in newer builds my simeji app seems to be colliding with android keyboard ap via adw launcher...dont know what to do haha.
Apps will FC because its gingerbread. Also this is a known problem with GB and CM7.

Oh ok. So its on the app side.
So i went and downloaded it again, this time flashing from the SD-Card. Everything came up fine, but when I started up I didnt go through a google account setup and theres no market.
Any way to get the market app?
Thanks
Here is the deal, first the permissions are not right when you are getting the FCs. Go into rom manager and click fix permissions. Also I thought this forum had intelligent members .... gingerbread is not to blame for any force closing. It is completely backwards compatible. I am running CM7 RC and it is working after 2 tries and fixed permissions. No problems.

And you forgot to download the Google apps package with your CM7. You will have to redownload and reinstall to get the market back on until they release a separate Google apps add on for GB

Ok thanks, but where is that Google Apps Package download?
It came with the download from ROM Manager, but not when I downloaded it from CM's site(http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/file/220-update-cm-700-rc1-inc-signedzip/).
If you could direct me to the download that includes the GApps it would be really appreciated it.
Thanks.

Thank You So Much!
This fixed all problems.
I'm also running CM7 RC1 with zero problems. When I first installed it, I got tons of FC's on the first boot. I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset. After that, everything has been running fantastic.
Everything has been fine for me running cm 7. Now today, force closes on anything internet related. Browsers, reader, market etc... Have fixed permissions, flashed clean on a factory reset. Any ideas?? Also are there other apps that fix permissions besides rom manager?
Edit: Got everything working off a clean install. Oh and cwrecovery fixes permissions (face palm).
Maybe unrelated but why does setcpu never give an accurate core speed report using the widget? Example: two hours ago I set the CPU to 1113 to test neocore. After the test I idled it back down to 998. The widget never updated and now two hours later it still hasn't updated and it still says its at 1113. The only way to get the widget to reflect my current setting is to remove it and then place it back on the screen.
DINC // CM7 RC2 // SLAYHER#9
Anyone run this latest version? If so are you having any issues with it?
I have 1.09.20 on mine. Im afraid to update. Everything runs great for me. Only reason I want to update is to use the ESCEnter, Left and Right mods. I cant find them for 1.09.20 anymore.
holy **** that's old
1.11.18 works fine for me at least

When you installed did you need to back up apps? Thats another reason I havent upgraded. I read the way themes were installed changed and locations changed. I dont want to lose my Jorte theming or my MIUI theming that Ive done.
Well, first off. You can always just make a nandroid of ur 1.9 rom, and just try 1.11.18. Anything you don't like and you can go right back. I always do a fresh install, and re-dl my apps manually from the market every friday. Just easier for me.
Titanium backup, or the miui app backup should work if you decide to do a fresh install.
Location of themes? Still in sdcard/miui/themes, still mtz's. They changed a way the file compresses a while back. But that doesn't hurt anything, or change.
I'm at like 160 mtz's on my sd card i've been gathering since march, none have ever gotten messed up or lost. Same with wallpapers I've collected from the theme manager.
Ive got it installed. So far no issues other than MIUI extended settings not working at all.

Read the OP of the extended settings mod thread here. It's not just a flashable zip any more, there is the zip but you also need the apk, it should explain everything. I'd select the no-overscroll mod, last time I tried overscroll there were network issues (basically no service). I'm still on 11.11 but the no-overscroll works perfectly for me.

Not sure what to tell you, I just updated to 11.18 to see if it works and it's fine for me. You have to reboot or reset your status bar by changing themes in the theme manager for the right/center/switched layouts to take effect.
Everything works now except the volume button. It works in recovery, but not in the rom.

Did some more testing. The volume also works in apps to turn down the music level and the volume works if I open the notification toggles and hit the sound button and the volume button right after.
With two different nightlies being released by Quarx at different times, I thought it would be a good idea to put both in one thread and keep the first post updated with the latest nightlies, install instructions, and links to gapps. All roms are on Quarx's server @ http://quarx2k.ru Use the builds for Kobe, Kobe is Bravo.

Wow, that's honestly amazing. And do you see how many phones he has supported? How does he keep this all maintained? I just don't understand how it's even possible. Quarx does a wonderful job. I would have ditched the Bravo so long ago! LOL.
Yes, I agree completely. I'm just glad Motorola's lazy and made basicly the same device with different cameras and touch buttons (and a keyboard if you include the Milestone2).
New cm9 out. Will update main post when I install on phone and have access to my PC.
i will upload new build soon, because this build doesn't have root access.
HWA build has partial hwui

I've been using the Newest HWUI for about 30 minutes now. Almost everything listed has been fixed. Only bugs I've seen so far are that 2 partitions won't mount, sd-ext and cdrom; and youtube videos won't play. Other than that, I haven't seen any major issues. The ui likes to lag a bit, but I haven't even rebooted yet and rebooting fixed some of the hwui lag from yesterday's build.
Now that we have data tethering, I can finally move on to CM9 as a primary nand rom....Except for the 5 gigs of music I keep on sd-ext....looks like I get to format and partition my sdcard later.
I'm about to install the non hwui version and I'll post back on how it goes.
5MIN UPDATE
HWUI Started rebootlooping. All I did was take picture, shoot video, crashed panoroama, enabled data tethering, and watched(tried to) a video on youtube. My guess was it was panorama. If anyone else rebootloops, post what you think might have caused it. BTW rebootlooping is what I call when the phone works fine, reboots out of nowhere to bootanimation, works fine for a while and then back to bootanimation and repeat.
NON HWUI UPDATE
Youtube works. UI is smooth. Other bugs same. Great rom overall.

I'm not sure why they don't work for you. Both downloaded and installed fine for me.
Also, the nonhwui version has randomly rebooted twice on my in the past 12 hours (maybe more while I was sleeping, Its hard to check that). The only thing I was doing was using usb tethering at the time. It doesn't really surprise me since we just got usb tethering with CM9, prolly just some kinks that need worked out. Even with the random reboots its an awesome rom.
@Quarx, could you add the following line to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. Its the US ATT APN.
<apn carrier="ATT" mcc="310" mnc="410" apn="wap.cingular" user="[email protected]" mmsc="http://mmsc.cingular.com" mmsproxy="wireless.cingular.com" mmsport="80" type="default,supl,mms" />
is anyone having trouble getting data connection? i had to manually input the ATT apn. and then when i switched on data, H logo came on. but i wasn't able to use the browser, go to the play store, etc..
suggestions? i'm on the 4/17 non-hwui build.

I haven't had any data problems, just to check I swithched to 3g and used data tethering to post this message from my pc. Also, it should be 3g above signal bars on CM9, not H like in CM7. Make sure you're not in 2g only mode, and if that doesn't work, try enabling National Data Roaming. I used to have to use National Data Roaming awhile back on 3g to work with CM7 (not anymore though).
Did you enter everything exactly? One wrong character will cause it to fail and not connect.
I really need to make a CM9 APN Patch. I just figured Quarx would have that fixed by now, so I haven't.
If you look a few posts up, you'll see the correct line that needs to be added to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. You can manually add that line in preflash, or add it in afterwords and then use 0664 permissions (adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) or just use root explorer and make its permissions look like everything else in that directory.
I'll attach the cm7 apns-conf.xml. It'll work with CM9. Remove the .txt, open a terminal in the directory with the xml, then just push to the phone with (adb push ./apns-conf.xml /system/etc/apns-conf.xml) then use (adb shell chmod 0644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml). Parenthesis aren't needed, just using them to distinguish the commands from the text. Or use a root explorer. Just make sure you set the proper permissions or you may not boot.
I will add that data does seem a bit slower with CM9 than CM7 right now, but that could just be the time of day and a possible 3g load on my cell tower. And I haven't used 3gTurbocharger yet.
Does anybody else get random reboots out of nowhere when doing nothing what so ever? I get one every hour or two it seems. I still think its data tethering causing the reboots. I need to leave a terminal running adb logcat to catch what may be causing that. Other than the random reboots, I'm loving the new CM9 Build.
thanks, tried all of that. still same problem. when i try to access a webpage, usually if i don't have internet connection it will show that "browser can't connect to webpage", but instead i'm getting a blank screen with a line that says "access to the url is blocked". sigh i guess i'll just wait for the next build, hopefully flashing will fix it.
I am having issues with the status bar freezing up and the only way to fix it is to revolt. But overall it is a great Rom.

Sounds like your behind a proxy or firewall. Have you installed any firewall or access control programs similar to Pdroid? Does the internet work on wifi? Other than that, have there been storms in you area lately? Have you been playing with build.prop?
About a month or so ago, I was having similar issuss, then I realized Droidwall installed itself (along with every app I ever installed) and Droidwall was blocking network access. Its possible the Gapps app sync at first boot installed something that's giving you problems.
Its kind of a guessing game now. The only network problem I have now, other than APN, is the random reboots that occur when using data tethering. You could try installing a different browser. I like Dolphin HD. I actually use Dolphin to test undervolting....just open a ton of loading tabs, it'll crash after 8-10 if you volted too low.
If an alternate web browser doesn't work, try the baseband switcher and use Argentina RT. Next try using wifi. If the internet doesn't work with wifi its probably bad settings\firewall program. After that, install CM7 or MIUI on multiboot and see if they have mobile data. If they don't, then your 3g tower may be down. BTW, I've only installed Mortplayer and Mortplayer Widget. I like to run as stock as possible when I'm bug testing.
I'm suggesting so much because I don't have much to go on other than its not the APN and you're using CM9 0417 non hwui.

Revolt??? I'm assuming you mean reboot.
HWUI or not? If its hwui, then it doesn't surprise me. The status bar was my first FC on hwui, followed by Trebuchet. I haven't had the status bar freeze on the regular version.
Have you messed with the Notification Power Widget? I remember it had issues on CM7 at the end of February\beginning of March. Back then, the settings wouldn't stick and it would act wonky until a reboot. All system settings acted funny until reboot when that bug occurred.
Hi,
Since i can't post in the thread, so I just highlight in here.
I've been using this rom for about a month. This rom is really nice but since the new update, it gets even better. Only one small thing, the LED flashlight widget in the quickpanel didn't show up although you have tick it in the settings.
That's all. I hope someone could tell this to Spizzy01 so that he can fix this.
Thanks...

Aurora Play Problems
Hello,
I just installed Aurora Play 1.1.0 and I am having problems which I think might be related to superuser.
The Rom works fine, but anything that requires root access gets frozen in place. My phone is rooted, I am pretty sure of it - not only the bootloader is unlocked but also, I did manage to initially change the clock speed to 1.4 ghz, and that change has remained so far.
However, if, for example, I try enabling root access on the ES File Explorer, it simply freezes the app (sort of like it is waiting for the confirmation from Superuser, but it never comes). I only ever saw the superuser authorization screen once when I changed the clock at first.
I am pretty sure the OC is not the problem, since I reinstalled the rom and did no OC on the 1st time at all, but the same problem persisted.
I would try uninstalling SU and installing that other superuser app on the market to see if that would solve the problem, but I couldn't manage to uninstall it.
Any thoughts on this? I would love to solve this problem since this room is outstanding on all other accounts.
PS.: I followed all instructions to the letter, and like I said I tried reinstalling the rom already. I am using Lupus v10 (tried Lupus v11 before on the 1st installation).

Can CWM coexist with TWRP? I think I only have TWRP installed. Or can I just use TWRP instead?
missing pixels in landscape app drawer
Spizzy, first and foremost congratulations on this great rom, it is fantastic! The only gripe I'm having is that when the app drawer is in Landscape mode it is cutting some pixels on the bottom (can't see the lower end of the blue highlight when using the ps controls). Other than that, all is perfect so far.
It worked!
Thanks a lot, Spizzy! Whatever that package was, it worked great and now superuser is not giving me any headaches anymore. Everything works great and the rom is blazing fast!
Just one thing - when I checked the info that comes up on the pachage before installing it, it said it was for locked bootloaders, but I assume that was a typo (since the zip file is for unlocked, and mine is unlocked as well). Just mentioning since it could maybe cause a little confusion on people downloading it in the future.
Oh and I did use TWRP in the end - I guess it's the same thing.

I've been using this with Ting. Seems more stable than the CM-11 build that I was using. Mms & cell data are the two things that do not work out of the gate for me. Wondering how this shapes up with Sprint. I vaguely remember cell data working, but I don't think the default mms app did. However, I was able to use a third party mms app for pictures.
If this works well for people I'll see what I can do about getting my changes pulled upstream.

What gapps version to use?
Thanks for providing this! I've installed it, to replace my cm-12-20151108-NIGHTLY-ls970.zip ROM. But I haven't been able to find a gapps download that will work with this (all Google services keep crashing) or fail to installed (Status 6). Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
gapps version
I was able to get this working. After battling through a barrage of pop-up messages telling me that various google apps had crashed (repeatedly for each one), I got into Play Store and did an update all. I had to uninstall/reinstall Keep and Messenger, and now all seems well.
The only thing I'm currently having a problem with is Titanium Backup, which keeps crashing no matter what I've tried.
Otherwise, all seems to be working well. I'm hoping that a the flaky problems I was having with the previous CM-12 ROM will be fixed with this version.
For whatever reason, no matter what version of CM12 I install, wifi does not work. I'll put in the password and then it times out "failing to authenticate." Have you run into this issue? Any known fixes?

My wifi is working. With the previous CM12 install I did have a problem where wifi would stop working after it was connected ("!" next to the wifi indicator), and I'd have to turn the wifi off and on again to fix it. I haven't experienced that problem yet with this build, though it's too soon to know if that problem has gone away.

Yeah I just went through unrooting and going to stock (where it worked fine) and now tried again to install without luck. I don't understand this problem or what could possibly be the issue at this point.
Edit: I have noticed that I'm not seeing my 5 GHz network although it was available in stock.
Profile switcher
It seems the option to switch profiles from the power button is gone. In the settings for buttons, there's an option to show "Airplane Mode", but not the profile selector. I do have multiple profiles created, so it's not because of that.

Hey geodosch, same experience here with pop up errors with one difference, I was not able to get into Play Store... I only have four com.google.* green droid icons, and after clicking them I get 'App isn't installed'. Which gapps did you install, any other tips?
Many thanks!
I tried quite a few, but the one I eventually used was downloaded from opengapps.org. Select ARM; 5.1; Micro. You may want to use a different variant based on your needs. The details of what's in each is here.
The filename for the one I used is 'open_gapps-arm-5.1-micro-20160304.zip'
I don't recall anything else special I needed to do. I hope this helps!
A couple of issues
I've found was appears to be a bug in the call log. Whenever I make an outgoing call, the call log shows an incoming call at the same time, with the ID of "unknown".
The other is an intermittent problem, which I haven't been able to determine how to reproduce. Sometimes the screen will go black, with the exception of the top status bar. I've had it happen when unlocking the phone, and also when opening a new app. Once this occurs, I've only been able to recover by rebooting. Holding the power button does bring-up the reboot screen, and as mentioned the status bar is fine, so it doesn't appear to be related to the display driver. I also took a screenshot when it was in this state, and the image is what the screen looks like: black with a status bar.
Sorry for the seemingly silly question, but where is the download? Following the link leads me to a wiki which leads me to a nightly build from mid 2015.

Did you click the "Downloads" tab near the top of this topic? (Between "Discussion" and "Reviews") There should be a link there to "cm-12.1-20160127-UNOFFICIAL-ls970.zip", dated 2016-01-28.
Thanks for the tip on where to find the download. This is actually a really clever thing to do; integrating the download into the forum navigation itself.

I'm having a lot of trouble getting Google Apps installed. I get the messages about the failures, but no Google Play store appears. I've tried on the latest "nano" release -- I'll try the exact file you mentioned.
One difference may be that I'm on TWRP 2.8.3.0 -- what's your recovery? Mine cries foul about no SELinux context support in the kernel, and I also noticed the Gapps blob said something about fixing SELinux permissions (it doesn't report success or failure). After installation there are 4 or 5 "google logo" icons that don't do anything, labeled com.android.google.whatever that don't open, instead claiming "XXX isn't installed" where XXX is the name of the app. Another poster here said the same. Anyway, I'll try that particular file and cross my fingers!
Edit: nope. Transferred the Gapps zip to the storage, booted into recovery, wiped everything except internal storage, flashed the ROM, flashed the GApps, reboot. Still get a bunch of green lifeless icons that won't load any app. What to do?
Ah, looks like I was right. It's the silly SELinux thing. The trick is to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524485 and set the phone to permissive. Which you can totally do because you can go into the build info and click build number until you get "developer mode" enabled and enable root access in apps. Then everything works perfectly, even from a seemingly glitched install, regardless of GApps version. Pretty nice eh?
I'm gonna let everything update and then try reenabling SELinux, for kicks.
[edit]Ah, rebooting screws everything up again until the SELinux changer finally loads and changes things to permissive. So it doesn't exactly stick at boot. Still looking for a permanent fix...

I'm running ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7. It's been a while since I originally installed the CM ROM, but I know I didn't have any luck with TWRP, though I can't say for certain that it was at fault... it may have been due to some other issue which I later fixed, and switching to CWM may have been incidental.
I've found that using the official CM recovery fixed my gapps woes.
On another note, GPS isn't working for me.
So, I totally didn't see any notifications that this thread was active. I've been working on trying to get Marshmallow up and ran into a dead end. So, I came here.

Same here, although it doesn't do it for all callers, I'll rebase on the newest code and see that does the trick.

I experienced the same. Although, I haven't in some time, since I stopped trying to use multiple profiles, that must contribute. adb still works as well, and I tracked the error in the code and it was right next to a TODO item. Go figure. If you see it again and are next to a computer, see if you can't get a logcat so I can check on that code again.

It seems the option to switch profiles from the power button is gone. In the settings for buttons, there's an option to show "Airplane Mode", but not the profile selector. I do have multiple profiles created, so it's not because of that.

It's there, under "Power menu". Just search for power.

I read somewhere that you may need to get a lock in a ZVC build before flashing. Try that. It sounded like hog wash to me, and didn't work when I tried it. But, after updating the libs, all was fine. So, maybe both conditions must be met. On a positive note, I rarely have GPS enabled, but when I flip the switch, it comes on. So, it's not like you need to leave it on across reboots.

Glad to see you taking I look here. I really don't want to replace my Optimus G, since all phones now seem to be either low-end performance or over-sized. So I'm glad I can still keep mine going with these builds.

I hadn't tried adb before rebooting (Murphy's Law: whenever it happened I was often doing some time-constrained task, so I just rebooted as quickly as I could.) But the next time it happens I'll connect and check the logs. It's interesting that you mention multiple profiles, because it seems to have happened several times in my car, and I have profiles set-up to switch when the car bluetooth connects/disconnects.
If you're going to be poking around in the code, another issue that I've been having is the default app for the browser no longer seems to work consistently. I know this worked on an older CM12 build, and think it used to work on this one. But when something launches a browser I'm very often prompted for which one (Chrome or Browser.)

In the power menu, I see an option to switch users (which is disabled, since I don't have multiple users set-up), but I don't see an option for Profiles.
