Hey all
Jdelano started this for CM9 for the OG Epic; it seemed to workout well there. So I figure since CM10 has dropped. Lets get the ball rolling and compile a pseudo FAQ / Support thread to keep the development thread as clean as we can.
I'll scan the CM10 threads and attempt to complile a conprehensive list of problems and their solutions here in a formatted (hopefully) easy to read/find way.
Please feel free to assist in answering questions or letting me know where something new has popped up.
Thanks!!!

FAQ:
Q:Where is the Sprint CM10 Development Thread?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778266
Q: What version is CM10 currently at?
A: CM10 was just a preview build until the 8/15 release, after which it moved to nightly stage. The Nightly builds can be found HERE. Changelogs for nightly builds is found HERE
****DISCLAIMER**** Nightly builds are the time when many new features are being merged and removed on a regular basis. They are automatically built each evening (most of the time) and therefore aren't tested like the previews were prior to nightly status. Therefore, things are very likely going to get broken from build to build...luckily they often times are fixed within a build or two, but it's up to your tolerance of such activity to determine how you prepare for a new flash. PLEASE ACT ACCORDINGLY. Yes, most of the time you may get away with wiping only cache & dalvic cache before flashing Nightly Rom & GApps zips - but please, make a Nandroid backup just in case. If you really want the features a new nightly offers but a "dirty" flash is causing problems, simply restore your Nandroid and do a clean install for maximum effectiveness.

A: zanderman112 posted this; which says it may have to do with ROM Manager.
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
NOTE: you will still have to remove .nomedia files from the folders with media that you want the media scanner to find.

Anyone else getting "Damaged SD Card" notification?
So far, this seems more stable than the CM9 nightlies. So far, the only bugs I've encountered involves some of the already known issues including camera problems and losing root access (reflashing root from recovery worked), and when selecting notification/ringer sounds the sound preview doesn't seem to play (yes, I checked it wasn't on vibrate).
Overall, I am very impressed for such an early build. Will be my daily driver. Excited to start seeing the CM customizations merged.
I updated the thread.
Does LTE work on this Build?

I don't know if LTE works, but CM10 seems defaulted to CDMA only, so you'll need to change the mobile network mode in system settings to even try.
I cannot get my headphone jack to work with this ROM. Also the camera doesn't work for me if I try to only take a picture. It is completely capable of recording video and taking pictures while recording video.

thanks for posting; as I make my way around the forums and speak to the devs I'll see what I can find for you.
These things will be fixed some time early in the beta phase; I am sure (going by what I saw in the CM9 developement)
Of course my comments are my opinion and have no actual baring on the development time of CM10
Left out one thing, I'm not getting 3G unless I put the phone into LTE/CDMA mode

PA or cyanogenmod?
Hello everybody! Just a quick question: I am having huge issues with CM11 M11 on my maguro, so I would like to ask if this is a good moment to give PA a try? Any big downside of PA 4.6 beta4 compared to cyanogenmod (M10)?

OTA Can't update to Beta 6.
I am trying to update from beta 5 to beta 6 using OTA. After the reboot I get in CWM some error about the Rom Manager (which i have installed for my backups), I choose reboot and when I'm back in the OS, while the download bubble for the zip file still exists OTA does not "see" any recent files and I have to download it all over again. Any thoughts?

Nevermind just selected manually the zip in CWM and everything worked!
Could anyone speculate a reason why I wouldn't be receiving the latest google apps updates (maps 9.0 and calendar, for example) through play store? Its always upsetting receiving google apps updates on my iOS devices before receiving them on the Nexus.

Goodbye
Paranoid Android has become very laggy on my device. So i'll be moving to other roms now. It has been a nice journey. Hope you release Lollipop builds soon.
Sometimes the signal desapear , so i have to restart my phone to work.
The chrome issue can be 'fixed' by blacklisting chrome also in the xposed module xHaloFloatingWindow.
i think that p.a. 5.0 will never come on our Gnexus. he has 3 years, it's time to change it or stay with 4.4.4
Tablet / hybrid mode?
How can I use tablet/hybrid mode?
I have seen many reviews etc that are praising the tablet mode, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Using Galaxy Nexus, PA 4.6b6
in reply to Airlibik's post
I think you should try the paranoid 4.6 BETA 6 if you haven't tried it. If you tried it and you feel it is little bit sluggish, try it along with "Performance Booster" app from the app store and some overclocking app. I'm using the same combo and have overclocked to 1420 MHz (using SetCPU). Also, this time I installed Gapps MICRO version instead of the whole shebang. It's been almost a month and my phone is still usable - I don't use my phone for games though.
No wake on charge
my Gnex has the USB bug and I need the "no wake on charge" option. Is there any possibility that I can find this on this rom.

CM11-M11 stable?
Hello,
I have a short question regarding the stability of the newest snapshot M11 of CM11. Are there any bugs which may prevent using it in a productive environment? I'm giving the device away and it probably won't be updated afterwards. M11 would replace the currently installed M7, I stopped updating regularly after having endured an unstable device for two months prior to M7 (and I do not wish to give it away having a nightly installed).
Since a long time ago the native sip client has been fixed. There are other kitkat ROMs out there for other devices which still have an audio bug rendering the sip client useless. Could someone link me to this ROM's fix so other developers could apply it to their ROMs?
I've been trying to search for it myself but I can't find it. Thanks a lot! [emoji4]

When Galaxy Nexus Maguro CM M12 build?
Hello Ziyan,
[Edit]: Sorry, I saw the previous post after I posted this question.
I still don't see the M12 for Galaxy Nexus Maguro. Although I see in another thread you mentioned that it will happen once you ask the CM team to build it, but nothing seems to have happened. Just wanted to have this last one of CM11 as it might be better to keep for a long time (in the light of the fact CM12 is coming but might take some time to stabilize). So, any idea, when is the build going to take place?
Thanks...
(I would like to post in the mail thread, but my post count seems to be a problem, anyway..)
After the update to cm11 m12 my phone works really smooth.
As other I noticed that generally the rom degrades its performance after some days probably because of the memory trimm.
I also evidenced performance issues in cm 11 m11 due to Google now voice detection of "Ok google" so I disabled it.
I registered in xda to thank you.
In the CM12 roadmap [1] there's:
1) Watering down of SELINUX protections or Encryption by default. These are base protections L is introducing and we should support these items as such. If your device fails to allow encrypting, it will not get a CM sanctioned release.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Currently CM11 kernel has SELINUX set to permissive to fix some bugs (in the dialer iirc), but enforcing should be possible. Just have to add some rules:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/selinux/validate.html
Getting encryption to work without watering it down sounds impossible when it expects hardware backing, which tuna doesn't have. [2]
(Technically tuna hw has TEE support, but google disabled it for keystore already due to a power usage bug [3])
Edit:
Seems like Google left the old software encryption still in:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/+/69f4ebd
(use_keymaster == 0)
Didn't look at CTS yet if one still passes without hardware keymaster.
Or what's your take on it?

Hi there Ziyan,
I don't know if it's a choice or something went wrong in the 05-10 CM11 Weekly build for the Maguro Gnex but the SELinux is disabled... Just wanted to point it out since i know that you guys usualy build with SELinux set to Permessive...
Have a good day

Phone freezes and reboots right after wake up in CM11 20150626 Snapshot
Hi everyone,
I just updated the phone from CM11 nightly of a version maybe two months old to the latest CM11 20150626 Snapshot, and I get this problem.
Right after the phone reboots, the locking, unlocking works fine. After a while (seems every app finishes its starting up), when I lock the phone and wake it up, the phone freezes right away and reboots a while later.
Can anyone let me know how to identify or solve this problem? Thanks.
Edit:
Ok, I just did a factory reset and now it seems to be running ok.
Edit:
I finally found out it's because I forgot to flash kernel for the PGM app.. how stupid I am.
Thank for great ROM.
@Ziyan and any people who help to create the great ROM for our device, Last year we hope to use KITKAT and now we fulfill this great ROM. Thank you every one.

Absolutely should work, however, you have some homework to do in order to ensure success. You will need a new recovery, new radio and might need to jump to ICS first, not sure. One other thing I would recommend is turning on your GPS and getting a GPS lock before rebooting to flash a new radio, recovery and ROM if coming from GingerBread as you are...
Head on over to Vincom's 1-Stop Sticky Thread, which contains information all about the SGH-i727 Skyrocket, and the T-Mobile Dev Thread. The Hercules is almost identical and hardware, and most Skyrocket ROMs should work on both, with maybe one issue of screen orientation (turned 90 degrees).
There are radio links in the OP of my SlimKat Hercules thread.
Read up in those threads, and then find a newer recovery and radio that you need need to proceed.
Thank to Slimrom
I'm very happy to keep my old pal (T989) on working everyday with Slimrom.
I change from CM11 to Slimkat build 7 serveral months agos.
I flashed by zip with CWM, it was working but couldn't reboot by default, dark screen and no response anything. I think it was my fault.
Then I restored and flashed it again with Rom Manager, it's successful.
With mini gapps pack, Rom (build 7) works like a charm. Then I disabled some google services for better RAM and speed (for example Hangout is kinda heavy)
Herein is some point that I think could make it better:
There is no option to change launcher ( Nova launcher by default)
There is no option to change/customize clock widget on LockScreen (DashClock Widget by default)
Recent Apps function: didn't show the latest using app on the list (when my current screen is homescreen).
Recent Apps function: Couldn't access to previous app (Close App error)
Step to reproduce: If you're using App A, then App B, you try to access App A via Recent Apps function. Then error message "Close App" will be display. But luckily I've found my own way to resolve, just change to random App C, then back to App A as usual (a little bit unconvenience but it was not a problem)
Notification couldn't updated by user behavior. For example, I have notification for new message on Viber, then i access Viber to check a new message ( do not touch on Notification ), so this notification will be remained for a long time ( until I touch on it for re-read)
I couln't tested with build 8 due to camera error ( couldn't handle camcorder function, couldn't focus) but I'm really happy with the build 7.
Thank you.

Stable version 8? No such issues have been reported. Bugreport?
One Skyrocket user has reported the inability to receive casks in WEEKLY version 8.12.1. He went back to weekly version 8.10 and incoming calls are working. These phones share a lot of source code.
It must be caused by something merged since the 8.12.1 WEEKLY.
Read post 2 in the main thread for how to submit a Slim bugreport to help fix this.

Yes. 8.0 stable release from the site slim-hercules-4-4-4-build-8-0-official-6919
as for the bug report I panicked since I needed the phone in working state withing an hour so I flashed the stock firmware back so not much help from me now . But yeah I called a phone in the household and phone was making a call its just I couldn't hear the dialing tone and when the second person picked up it was dead silence on my side.
This is not he first time I had this issue previously I tried cyanogenmod 10.2.0 stable and had the same issue out of nowhere after month of working just fine
Thanks for the feedback. Full wipe, including /data wipe or factory reset?

Herein is some point that I think could make it better:
There is no option to change launcher ( Nova launcher by default)

All you have to do is install another launcher, then press the home key and select your preferred one and select "Always"...
There is no option to change/customize clock widget on LockScreen (DashClock Widget by default)

You have to allow lock screen widgets, then drag it off the screen and add what you want.
Recent Apps function: didn't show the latest using app on the list (when my current screen is homescreen).
Recent Apps function: Couldn't access to previous app (Close App error)

What other apps do this? Tapatalk does this for me on CM11S with my OnePlus One even. Probably an app issue.

Full wipe. Camera is fine on Build 8.

No problem. Sounds like a radio issue though or dirty flash.

I'm using the build by Dan that fixed calling, and I'm getting a huge memory leak problem. The Base System process would start using 100 MB to 200 MB of my RAM, while hogging a part of my CPU at all times. I was watching a video earlier and noticed my CPU usage jumped to 100% and the available RAM started going around 200 MB before the system killed my on-screen system stats display (Cool Tool). I didn't have any other apps running and nothing was being updated at that moment. The video started getting choppy and my phone froze soon after. If you need a log from me, I'll be happy to provide one.

Have you tried the 8.16 weekly from the Slim site, or the test build I posted? Either way, there shouldn't have been any changes (that I made, at least) which would cause such a memory leak...
Clean flash? What GApps version? What app were you using to watch video? YouTube has had some intermittent issues, and I have also heard of recent Google Play Services issues...
If you can start a new thread in the Slim Hercules forum and post a good description with a Slim bugreport, it may be helpful. See Post 2 of the main thread for more details on helping to squash any bugs.
After I installed the rom, the slim gapps, and supersu, my phone did not boot up and did not even show a bootanimation. I tried going into recovery to restore a backup but it would not enter recovery mode. There would just be gentle vibrations and then a black screen. I was using TWRP v2.8.4.0. I would prefer to avoid the hassle of flashing through odin. Please help, thank you.

Can you get to download mode? With phone off, hold both Vol Up & Vol Dn while plugging a computer USB cable in.
Sounds like a bad flash, bad download, recovery issue, or possible h/w problem. The fact that you can't get to recovery suggests a recovery or h/w issue to me.
Does the below work for Recovery mode?
Press and hold Vol Up, Vol Dn and Power for 2 seconds, then release Power but continue holding Vol Up & Vol Dn until recovery loads.

Q&A for [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][5/7] CyanogenMod 12.1 | Beta 1
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][5/7] CyanogenMod 12.1 | Beta 1. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Great job guys. Going to wait till a more stable build but you guys should be very proud of yourselfs. None the less this is great work. Made my day knowing there are people like you guys.
Build you just posted
Just downloaded it and tested, the issues with the navbar/status bar etc. are still there.
Can' t wait for this to be finished, thanks for the hard work.
I just got to flashing this
I don't get navbars, status bar, or notifications shade either.
Volume buttons do nothing, trying to change brightness crashes Settings, there is no power menu.
The default CM12.1 wallpaper is also missing (black screen) and there is an icon missing from the dock.
Strange.
I couldn't test the camera (because I can't navigate anything without back or home buttons), so I can't say much about that.
Keep up the good work though, I'm more than willing to test any new builds!
Keep us posted!
Camera m9 sense port
Has anyone tried using the sense port for all aosp roms from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/mod-htc-one-m9-camera-port-t3056305
To see if that makes the camera work?
After flashing the 2 June build and then the current build, all seems to be working.
Interested....however need 2.8 firmware as base and everything working good battery life before I make the transition which I'm guessing could be awhile. Dolby audio also very important.. will keep checking thread for updates thanks for your efforts

In safe mode :/
I installed it and everything but it boots into safe mode, problem is when i try to turn it off using power button it just restarts phone into safe mode without asking to power off or anything! Anyone got anything?
Not sure if OP or any of the devs are reading the Q&A section,
but I've been using the latest build (with the 2 June flash before, of course) on 1.32.* as my daily ROM since the statusbar/softkeys fix was posted.
Some interesting negatives/bugs I've noticed:
No double tap to wake
Battery usage data never shows up
Cannot search for service providers (Get an error, but selecting auto works and finds the correct carrier)
Possibly unrelated but the quick settings tiles for the notifications shade are extremely limited (No volume or independent brightness tiles, et cetera. I think these need to be implemented by the rom developer, as they exist for other CM12.1 devices on official roms)
Otherwise, I think all is working fine. (Well, minus what was marked "broken" (camera, USB OTG, ...) but it looks like there were recent commits on github for the SoC, so maybe this or a fix for newer frameworks is coming!)
Battery life is better than sense, and everything is much snappier. Xposed works (using v65 for now), as do most lollipop modules. (Except Amplify which blocks no wakelocks, but I think this is an arm64 issue because many M9 users are reporting this in the Amplify thread, even on Sense/"stock" roms.)
If anyone sees this (with more than 10 posts lol) please direct OP to the Q&A section so he can see these issues.
I'll continue to use this for now, I haven't had the reboot problem other people are experiencing.
If there's anything someone would like me to test, I'm more than willing, just let me know.

I think the actual rom implementation (drivers/firmware) is the problem with the camera.|
It turns out that mods removed the download link in that thread anyway.
Sorry!
Unofficial cm 12.1 hima
I have flashed the ROM as instructed ... And all works well until the phone goes to "sleep". I an unable to wake the device. I have to power off and reboot phone. Is there a fix for this?
Downgrading Firmware
I've frankly had quite enough of the Sense UI, however, after flashing this ROM, I experienced the sporadic reboots and navbar issues which many other users have posted about. Some say that flashing back to the 1.32 firmware (in my case from 2.7) will fix the issue, but won't this bring back overheating issues and terrible performance?
@BananaMasamune and @rickymartel01,
Did you both flash the 2 June build before the 5 July build? That seems to have fixed navbar issues for most people.
Downgrading firmware fixed sleep and reboot problems for most of us as well.
I was never on 2.x so I'm not sure about performance problems, but it definitely feels faster and more fluid than Sense on 1.32.x
European
Is it working for European device?
---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------
Is it working for Eruropean devices?
@dreznik82,
My device isn't from the United States, and it works for me.
Check to see if your phone is GSM or CDMA.
There is a list on HTC's website somewhere that lists carriers, and tells what version of the phone they have. Many of the GSM phones are WWE (world-wide edition, international) and can be used with this.
Nice work
Good work guys. How long you reckon it would take to get this as a stable nightly build once broken items have been resolved?
Also no status bar and navigation bar on mine as well
Does anyone know if xposed works ?
fix for downgrade
could you try to fix the ''downgrade'' problem in the next update?
because I am not able to downgrade (don't know why)
thanks
@Galaxysm , Xposed works.
@Rogi1997 , Are you S-Off?
