Hello, I've worked with custom roms and such before, but only stable things. I installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds, and I've been updating them every day, through TWRP by just flashing the rom, and gapps. A snapshot was just released, and I was wondering if I just do it the same method, or do I have to do the wipe system and all that when you first install a brand new rom. I'm pretty sure I do it the same way, but I just want to make sure there isn't have to be anything else. Better safe than sorry.
Oh my why are you going through all that trouble CyanogenMod has a built in updater all you do is go to about and then CyanogenMod update I believe it will ask you the frequency to check for updates. Make sure you change the options to nightly builds. The phone will notify you when there's an update, after downloading the phone will update itself and all your apps will still be there so you won't need to flash G apps each time.

The process to do this is called a "dirty flash" because you are flashing over what you already have without wiping again. Usually if its an updated version of the same rom you dont need to rewipe everything
However, if you come upon this in some other rom (you're updating to a new version of it), make sure that the OP's instructions dont mention a full flash, because the nature of some big updates WILL require you to do a full wipe and then flash
But for this specific case, just do what the guy above me said

It is a more stable build designation. Still not an official release. Think of it as a monthly nightly!
Thank you!

I have been running through rubbish sense based ROMs that are easily flashable in clockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.0 , and i need to get cm7 ,right.. (excuse my n00b-ness) But how do i go about getting that , and then how do i go about installing the aosp ROMs? Also, nightlie, (checking to see if i researched correctly) They are basically over the air updates ect,ect.? Correct or am i missing something completely ? Help a n00b out. You'll get your thanks obviously =]
Cm7 is an aosp ROM all to itself. You don't need to run this ROM if you don't want to. But, a lot of people love cm7.
There are several aosp roms that are also very good. Liquid, miui, omfgb... To name a few.
Nightlies are roms that are built by a computer program. This process is used to develop a stable ROM. For the most part, nightlies are buggy and don't always completely work. As a noob, these might frustrate you. I would stick to a stable version. Just my opinion, try them if you want to.
Aosp roms are flashed in the same manner as a sense based ROM. Through recovery. It is important to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory data reset when you interchange between sense and aosp roms.
I hope I have answered some of your questions. XDA is an excellent place to expand your knowledge. Your noobness will wear off soon...

Here is a link to the stable cm7 ROM. You will need to download the ROM itself, and the Google apps (gapps) .zip files.
Do a full wipe, flash the rom, then flash the gapps file. This can be done in the same recovery session, no need to reboot first. But... Flash the ROM first, gapps second.
Also, check the stickies in the general section. There are several guides that fellow members have writen to help people who are new to all of this. I have found them quite helpful.

Huge thanks to Cyanogen and the rest of the CM team for bringing us JB so quickly!
I've bounced between CM9 nightlies and CM10 previews and CM10 is just as stable (if not more so) then CM9. CM10 is still lacking feature completeness especially with regards to the CM enhancements but its getting there.
Now with official nightlies us flash junkies can get our fixes.

I just saw this too and I am downloading it now to flash it. I have been on the CM9 nightlies for about a week and love it. I have tried a few other TW ROM's but I just keep going back to CM9. Thanks again Cyanogen!!
I got an error when flashing with ROM Manager.. Setup wiz FCs and I have to boot into recovery and load up a rom on the sd card. IDK..

Yes. Gapps has to be flashed every time you update to a new release. Cm team and Google came to an agreement that gapps with not be included in any of their releases due to licensing. So they will never be included.
Does anyone else have an issue waking up the device with the physical home button? Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times pressing it to wake it up.

Make sure you have the very latest version of cwm. I have seen that offered as a solution in other threads. If that doesn't work try twrp. It can be installed easily from the goo manager app available from the play store. The CM team seems to prefer cwm but in my expierence twrp has been much more stable.

I flashed with TWRP and it installed fine.
I was having a issue with GMail screen flickering but after I wiped my cache and Davlik it fixed that problem.
Is anyone having an issue with Google Now saying there is no internet connection? Fixed - Just had to reinstall ROM
For those who gets status 7 error, or build prop or whatever, it is usually the recovery. You'll need a D2ATT recovery, such as this http://www.datafilehost.com/download-fed9a267.html
Once you have that recovery installed, wipe data/cache and install CM10 + gapps = profit.
I wonder when they will change the boot animation from cm 9 to say cm10??

Doesnt it depend on wether you do a dirty flash or not? I havent flashed gapps since the 8/08 build and everything is working fine so far
Hmm, any news on a final release of cm9? According to cyanogen, the att s III was planned to make it in. I'd rather have a super stable nostalgic cm9 to fall back on if things go array on the bleeding edge (cm10).

Why is the official cm10 thread (in original development) still showing 8/14 build as the latest if there's a 8/18 build on the cm site?

After rooting my new galaxy s3 I'm having some issues with the custom kernel installation. I've tried wiping dalvik and cache after installing rom and then following through with the kernel installation and then repeat the wipe process. Without custom kernel installation the ROM works just fine. The problem I'm having is after kernel installation, the phone will not complete the boot process. It freezes at the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen and doesn't go any further. Sometimes it makes it to the boot animation for cm10.1. I'm running the 4/10 update for the cm10.1 nightlies. Trying to install the ktoonz kernel for JB 4.2.1 made for the cm 10.1 build. Can't figure out why I'm having issues. Any idea what's wrong?
I believe there are two different types of kernels: those based off of 3.0 and those based on 3.4.
Check the working CM 10.1 kernel. It should start with either 3.0 or 3.4. Make sure the custom kernel you're trying to install is the same. Some kernels haven't been updated to 3.4 yet, and installing the wrong kernel will result in a bootloop.

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Long story short, I haven't flashed a ROM since june.
I know at one point you needed an ODIN patch to flash along with the new radio for most ROMs. Is that still the case?
What are the more stable options right now?
Thank you for any help.

Depending on what your running you would need newest recovery and newest radio. About the most stable ROM you would have to test them out yourself
This ^^^^^
Its all taste and what's important to you. So certain bugs are deal breakers for some and completely irrelevant to others.
So, read the rom threads to get an idea about each...and see what members are saying about it.....and start flashing away.
And soon a moderator will close this thread.....and tell you the same thing. Just a heads up.

This is the support thread for CM11 on the AT&T Galaxy S3. It's a major work in progress. It may cause all the things in the disclaimer to happen, or steal your girlfriend while you are busy flashing ROMs.
Known issues:
Recording video can sometimes result in strange things happening. This includes random reboots or discoloration of the video stream.
Install instructions:
1. Install TWRP Recovery for "d2att".
2. Download your correct; updated bootloader/modem from here, and here.
3. Get the nightly build here.
4. Reboot into recovery and install both.
d2lte is all inclusive. It works with all of the phones listed here.
Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them. (Or just follow the link below.)
I prefer this.
Follow the changelog!

It will still work with CWM, but TWRP was recently updated to support some more aspects of KitKat, and it's what I use personally, and since I can confirm it works, I wanted to list it as my recommended recovery.
Any compatible kernels with the nightlies? I tried KT747 (3/9/14) and BMS (3/5/14) and they don't seem to work as the com.phone.application stops responding after a reboot from installing the kernel. In particular, I want to know why BMS doesn't work with CM11 because it's based on the same CM kernel and they even have the same Linux kernel (3.4.x) so what went wrong? What makes BMS kernel incompatible with the CM11 ROM? I'm currently using a d2lte build on an SGH-i747M.

Make sure you're using the latest d2lte nightly. I had the same issue a while ago. Apparently it had something to do with a ramdisk update.

Not sure if you installed the Google Dialer, but that will cause issues with the latest CM builds, so it may not be kernel related but I'm guessing without more info. Check your System/add-on directory and see if you have a Google dialer entry. If yes, in the FAQ it walks you through the steps to take to clear out the dialer, which is basically wipe system, install ROM, install gapps, wipe caches, good to go.

There's only the com.android. dialer entry that I've found so far. I've read the procedure that you suggested but I think that's the same thing as installing a new ROM and pushing out the GApps package again which might've included the Google dialer. AFAIK, CM intertwined the Dialer app with the Phone one so removing the Dialer one might not seem ideal..

To confirm it's in the add on folder, not the system folder. Meaning you shouldn't have a googledialer file in the add on folder.
