[Q] CyangenMod 10 Issues (Install,Voicemail,Skype)

I tried to post this on cyanogen mods website but I was not allowed to post
I bought a AT&T Galaxy S III for my wife this weekend and ran into several problems installing cyanogenmod 10 on it.
Installing:
First the Heimdall program failed to "initialize interface" and no matter what I tried it failed to connect.
I managed to get it installed by using the ODIN to flash different clockwork mod (but that errored out on the when I went to flash cyanogenmod 10 )
So I used that to root it then installed cyanogenmod via rom manager by having that install the right clockwork mod then cyanogen 10.
It would be nice if they provided a ODIN Image for cyanogenmod
VoiceMail:
voicemail was missing its number after I installed cyanogen mod.
It took me forever to get this correct. Found out that you just forward to your mobile number. In the phone settings. or dial **004*PhoneNumber#
Also Google voice failed to setup correctly as well and had to use the **004 path.
Skype:
downloading via google play kept returning "package file invalid" (I cleared /cache and dalvik cache still failed) I ended up downloading it via the androiddrawer website and it installed (sideload?).
The problem with this is when using the voice or video chat the other side just hears very load static. Found someone claiming these problems came from cyanogenmod 10 not using the correct mics all the time. This is still an issue.
My questions are these issues fixed in the most recent version of Cyanogen the M releases? And if not are they known and someone working on them?
And does anyone have a fix for the static issue in skype?

Unless your wife can troubleshoot issues why install a custom ROM on her phone. My wife would kill me since she has no clue but I digress.
Why not flash 10.1 on the phone and download the gapps from the goo.im site and see if hat helps your issues. Maybe you got a bad flash and/or download. For the short amount of time I tried it I didn't have any of these issues you do. Those don't seem to be any bugs in the known bugs beyond maybe the static. Task's AOKP is another one to try if you want a custom stable rom.
Try another ROM or maybe a fairly stock rooted rom and see if that clears up any issues.
Are you using a Mac or a PC ? You mentioned Odin (for windows PC's) and heimdall (for all others). Honestly the best way is to flash a stock rooted ROM from the no tripping flash counter Rooting thread in Development and then flashing CWM in rom manager. Limiting having to flash in odin is the far better option. I've never ha d a bad flash in a custom recovery but everytime I have to use Odin I get extremely nervous.
Read Beerdroid's guide and you can't go wrong

agreed.
there are a couple good and stable stock/touchwiz custom roms as well as AOSP-based roms on this forum. i would steer clear of nightlies and super-custom roms that are always posting new updates. these are less stable imo.
put something on her phone thats solid and be sure to use the proper wiping and flashing procedures when you do so. wiping/flashing correctly makes ALL the difference on the software's performance while it's running on a device

Well I went with Cyanogen because I used it on my old droid incredible and its was great. I also want a stock like rom because I personally use a stock Nexus 4 and want my wifes phone to be similar and wanted to remove all the retarded extra apps atnt and samsung threw on.
So no idea if the 10.1 would fix the static issue then?

I can't say for sure but download and see if it works out of you. Thing with bugs is that they aren't always reproducible. I don;t see your issue as a known bug on 4.2.2. There are a few other ROM like super nexus in the dev section that are a practically stock nexus feel. Why not give that one a try ? Give AOKP a try as well.

i'm an advocate of AOKP, but thats just my 2 cents. there is a very solid 4.1.2 milestone out and their 4.2.2 milestone will be released very soon.
although faryaab is a great kid and puts some good stuff together, remember that supernexus is a port and you could experience bugs (as i did). again, just my opinion

General:
These are UNOFFICIAL CM11.0 Kitkat Nightlies / Releases brought to you by AceEnablementProject and TeamCodefire as a continuum to CM10 and 10.1 nightlies. Builds are generated automatically each night. Process starts around 00:30 PDT. If it fails, then there will be no build until the reason for failure is taken care of which can take time. Latest 12 nightlies will be kept on the server. If you want a longer history of them, you are free to archive them yourself.

Q&A:
Q: I tried to flash the ROM and got this:
Code:
Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/..path od ROM.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
A: Update your recovery to one that is compatible with new recovery functions. See the list below.
4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC 3 or newer
CWM 6.0.4.8 Advanced Edition / PhilZ Touch 6.29.8 or newer
TWRP 2.7.1.0 ACE or newer
Q: I've used HTC Dev unlock and flashed the rom but it won't boot. What should I do?
A: You need to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have fastboot executable anymore from flashing recovery, install Android SDK platform tools (Linux users should find it from distro's package management) and then reboot to bootloader, open command prompt and navigate to the location you extracted your boot.img and type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You need to repeat this everytime you flash new version of this rom to ensure everything will work fluently as long as you have just basic HTC Dev unlock.
Q: Where are my developer and performance options?
A: http://goo.gl/jpS8r
Q: Feature X doesn't work, let's make 1000 posts about it to annoy everyone.
A: Please, dont. Use search and then use search again and only then report your problem with necessary logs. [Logcat guide, thanks to MusikMonk for the link]
Q: I hate you for not fixing this issue X!!!
A: I love you too.
Q: How I can build CM11.0 myself?
A: Setup a basic Android build environment.
Code:
mkdir cm11
cd cm11/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests

CM11 latest release freezes after first reboot
GD to all. I am trying to install CM11 latest release, first time starts ok, but after reboot it doesn't start, freezes with black screen before bootanimation. Tried to flash boot.img via ADB & also tried to install CM 10.1 SR3, nothing helped, same situation. Waiting for your replies. Thx in advance.

Hey!
Would it be possible to you to add gpu overclock to that kernel?
Thx

Question about bugfixes
Hi,
at the moment i have M10 installed but i want to ask if there is a fix in M11 included which fixes sudden restarts.
My DHD restarts over night or when i want to something (it doesnt depends on what i am doing).
And another Problem sometimes the screen wont turn on when pressing the power button only the menu keys lighten up.
And i think it is more like off topic but how i can unlock the phone that i do not need to flash boot.img it is at the moment only HTC-Unlocked.
And very much thanks for this ROM it is great!
Thanks in advance for your answers

Cannot dirty flash Nightlies
Hi
Since sometime around M11 release, I can not dirty flash nightlies on nightlies. The phone stuck at booting with the message "Android is upgrading / Finishing boot".
I'm using TWRP 2.7.1.0 for recovery.
1. Install Rom
2. Wipe Cache/Dalvik (I've tried without wipe too)
3. Reboot System
Am I missing something here?
I'm using non-English locale. Could it be the reason?
Best Regards,

Solved

Just figured it out that PA_GAPPS requires flash every update for recent ROMs.

Hi and thx for your rom!
I flashed the cm-11-20141008-UNOFFICIAL-M11-ace from releases, using twrp 2.7.1.0 for the recovery on a HTC Desire HD.
I am experiencing some lag when opening the screen or starting apps / widgets. It can take be almost instant up to 3-5 sec for the app to launch and be accessible (camera, gallery, weather, settings, mail anything really).
Also once in a while parts of the text in the screen get deformed (example here), any action by me (moving my finger around) or by the OS (some notification) fixes it.
As far as I can tell I followed your instructions properly. Is there anything I could try?

Are you using the latest recoveries mentioned in the first post's Q&A section in the development thread? If your issue is what I think it is, full wipe with the previously mentioned recoveries should fix it.

Is there working GPU OC for ace? I thought it was hardware locked thus can't be overclocked via software.

I haven't heard any complaints about frequent reboots. I know that there are those but it's been said to happen like once a week or so. M11 may change something if your issues come from corrupted devlog partition but if it's something else, then M11 won't do anything for your reboot issue.

It's a bit slow but I suppose that's understandable considering we are talking about 4 year old device. People have reported it gets slower the more apps you install. I'm not sure why.
I'm seeing that kind corruption on the screen graphics for the first time. Any chance of figuring out how to reproduce it and write step-by-step what to do so I could maybe replicate the issue on my end?

Yea that is very much true, this might sound bad but would is there some other version you would recommend (even if it's a previous android release) which would be snappier? (your ROM so far is absolutely fine outside of that lag which as you stated is probably because DHDs hardware can't handle it).
As for that graphics glitch can't think of something, any apps were installed from play store (not restored by titanium for example) it happens on different ones but a lot more often on k-9 email client (from which the screenshot is).
If there is something that you would like me to try, feel free to tell me, though any action on the screen restores it to its normal way.

I don't mind people looking for better solution for their needs. You may want to try my CM10.1 builds which were noticeably faster if I recall correctly. I haven't been using other ROMs that much during the time I've kept my own stuff going here so I can't really recommend anything else. A fellow user may be a bit less biased to recommend other options.
I'll see if I can catch that graphical glitch with K-9 myself. Thanks for reporting it!

I get that black boxes glitch with the standard Email app all the time. They usually go away in less than a second. I also checked for those when I was testing the 4.4 adreno drivers and it was still not fixed.

Doing a backup in recovery should be sufficient to backup everything except sdcard.

Update from M11 to Nightly
It is possible to flash the newest nightly over the M11 release?
Or I need a full wipe.

Well, generally it's recommended to wipe if you switch from one to another but it may work in this case without wiping. Make a nandroid backup and try it.

You can get original Desire HD battery on ebay cheaply, no point looking at other batteries which cost almost the same. Just look for one in your region.
Install Wakelock Detector from the Play store and find out what is causing your battery drain. Depending on phone use it should be able to last all day, 2 days if just left on standby all the time. Screen on all the time will be around 3-4 hours.

I'm having issues with it as well. Sometimes it sits there thinking it works, other times it waits a few seconds and then crashes. It worked for a day...not sure what I did past that to break it.

Is there anyway to overclock the latest update? I know I can't install a new kernel with this ROM.
Also, any option for Volume Rocker unlock? I'm new to this ROM, coming from CM. I kinda rely on that option, since my power button is kinda on the fritz.

Which gapps package are you using? I'm using the modular mini. Try another clean flash (sorry) and use a different package than you are now.

aaa
nothing

I've tried a lot of KitKat ROMs, but each one with a lot of issues. So I came back to the 4.3, it surprised me for his stability (1 year with bugged ROM make you feel that your phone sucks more than it actually does [no, it doesn't, I love it!]) and I decided to don't try your FML. Now I can't wait for Lollipop, and even if I haven't tried your ROM, I trust in it and I think it will be the best choice. Good work and thanks!

Could some1 possibly upload a video of this good work ? Got a maguro and I'm very curious
thx in advance!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus FML Lollipop
Hello. I hope this is the right place to post this. I have less than 10 posts so I have to post here...
I've tried to install your FML rom (the lollipop beta) on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I seem to be having the same issue that coleburns is having. Namely, I flashed the rom from recovery, but when I reboot the phone, it shows the Google splash screen and then keep rebooting over and over again.
I understand that the first boot is supposed to take some time, but I've left it for over an hour and it still won't boot into the OS. Is there a step I'm missing?
I'm using the custom version of TWRP that you linked to in the first post. I also formatted all the partitions to ext4. Before flashing the rom, I performed the factory reset from recovery and also cleared the /system folder.
I've managed to load on the KitKat version of your ROM just fine...I can't work out what I'm doing wrong!
Anyway, if you need some logs or something to help debug the issue, let me know. Or, if I'm doing something wrong, could you please let me know? I'm very keen to try Lollipop!
Thanks.

lollipop build 2
Haven't seen anybody ask... In your changelog for lollipop you said the rom takes a VERY LENGTHY FLASH TIME. Are we looking at 5 minutes or more?
edit: VERY LONG... over 5 minutes for me

This is the best rom ever!
When you said, "These builds are very early! They aren't daily-driver-stable, but they are progressing extremely fast." I was expecting junk, then I tried it. I was a big fan of your kit kat rom as well but once I tried this android l rom I fell in love. I have used this all day and it is extremly stable. The only bug I have to report that isnt even a need is the app drawer is the app drawer animation is very laggy. I tried enableing 2d gpu acceleration just in case that had something to do with it but it still didnt help. Any suggestions would be great. Oh and yes I have tried closing other apps, multitasking is no issue with this rom, the memory management is great. I thank you so much for such a great rom, keep up the amazing work.

Installing TWRP Problem
So I am currently on CWM and am trying to switch over to TWRP. I'm have a slight problem. When I install TWRP (via twrp manager app), I am also using the recommended custom twrp from the first post. It installs successfully, then I go into reboot options and reboot into recovery...and it's still CWM. I've tried it multiple times. I am rooted, I do have busybox installed, I can't figure out what the problem is. IM STUCK WITH CWM, HALP!

Download the file in the OP for FML (twrp 2.7.1). Flash with Flashify. Reboot to recovery.

Don't worry too much about it not working. It's fully working for me but it's pretty slow when you actually need to use it. If you get it going it will pick up the pace, but it's far from usable, being in an app for longer than a minute and touching the home screen button will freeze it up for 10 seconds before it takes you to an empty screen that takes another few seconds to load all the apps and widgets back in. I'd wait for a newer release.

Feedback
Hello i have tried the older version and it was great but i really need my camera so i went back to 4.4 but i appreciate you so much thanks !
Please fix the camera asap and i will definitely install this rom ! and i tried to install the new version but it said Error Binary something in TWRP recovery what can i do thanks!

Q
Is the camera fixed yet?

Notification Light
Is there a way to disable the notification light while the phone is plugged in via USB? It's a little annoying to be on while I'm sleeping. It's not a huge issue though.

I don't think so.

I found that the miscellaneous section of the battery stats was taking up most of the battery usage. I don't have any apps installed other than the stock standard.

Hello,
I had a problem with my HTC desire 300 and I took it to a servis, there they put the cwm on my phone but my wifi isn't working, or its working a little bit and then it says that I can't connect.
So, I'm new here and I don't understand all the words here and I'm confused, so can you please explain me how to restore my htc to stock rom?

Interesting, I didn't even know my thread had a Q&A section
May I ask what was wrong with the phone before you had it serviced?
So the service center unlocked your bootloader and flashed a custom recovery?
They deliberatly voided your waranty? This sounds wrong on so many levels, please tell me you gave them permission to do so.
cwm is clockworkmod recovery btw and you are asking in the cm10 thread, does that imply that they also flashed this rom?
I don't know what to say to this except get your money back and/or sue them unless you actually asked them to do so.
Flashing a userdebug build on an enduser phone in a service center without being asked to do so is criminaly negligant imho.
The wifi in this rom is working fine (at least in the latest available build) so it might also be a hardware problem.
Could you tell me the version number of the rom you have on your device? (Settings->About Phone->CyanogenMod version)
To return to stock you would need the backup of your original rom and use cwm to restore the device.
That's why the OP includes a reminder that you should always make a backup before flashing a different rom.
There are no official htc RUUs available for this device, so without that backup you are out of luck.

I couldn't turn on my phone, it was stuck with the HTC logo, so I took it to the service and they told me it was a software problem and that they can fix it. After fixing it wifi worked 3-4 days and then stopped, all passwords are forgotten and its says '' Failed to connect network''. I know that its the clockworkmod when I press volume down and power.
When I go to recovery it says cwm advanced edition 5 cwm base version v6.0.3.7 philZ
I'm sorry If I asked in the wrong field but I'm so frustrated and just want my wifi to work somehow..

I don't mind you asking. I was just surprised to get a pm from a bot saying that my thread now has a Q&A.
I'm glad to see that it's still the stock rom you are on. But I don't know why it would bootloop or suddenly loose wifi.
Just out of curiosity, is the bootloader still locked? And is it the broken philz recovery with the graphical glitches that crashes on exit?
I don't understand why they would need to change the recovery. If the device is not repairable via factory reset or original recovery.
They should've just sent it in to htc for a replacement unit.
There are 2 things you can try now:
Try the factory reset option in the bootloader and if it doesn't work get in contact with htc customer support.
or
Replace the recovery, backup your system, check if wifi works in the cm10 rom and if it doesn't work
then reflash your backup before asking the htc customer support for assistance.
But be aware that the more you mess around with the device the less inclined htc will be willing to help you without charging you for the repair.

I tried the factory reset and nothing happens, still no wifi.
How can I replace the recovery?
Thank you!

First you need to set up your pc so it can communicate with the device via the android debug bridge.
There should be many tutorials on how to do that on this site. Just find one that explains how to get adb and fastboot working.
Since your radio and build version are different then mine I'd like to be on the safe side since I don't know what the service center did.
So activate the usb debug in the stock rom, and open a terminal.
Type: "adb shell" to connect to your phone and then type "cat /proc/emmc" and post the output here.
It should look something like:
Code:
dev: size erasesize name
mmcblk0p17: 000ffa00 00000200 "misc"
mmcblk0p34: 00fffe00 00000200 "recovery"
[...]

thank youuu so much I will try it..
I'll take it to the service again, and I'll let you know what he told me about the new recovery, and the wifi and everything that he made on my phone :crying:

Don't forget to ask them why they think it would be better to void a customers warenty by unlocking the bootloader,
instead of using it to get the manufacturer to replace the device if it's broken.

just to let you know that I took my htc to the service again, and they told me that the wifi is broken and they need to change the wifi chip or card I think...

Google Play has stopped working
Hi guys.
I have problem with Google play. I have instaled gapps for CM 10 (downloaded from cyanogen wiki). Everything works (youtube, gmail, google music, google sync,...) except Google play store...
Gapps was instal via recovery.
I tried to donwload only Google play app, but it get : Android App Not Install. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed.
Did anybody has same problem?
Thanks

Hi,
Just flashed the ROM on my girlfriend's phone and I gotta say its pretty nice she's quite happy with it and I gotta say it made her phone a lot faster so thanks for that from her ill keep an eye on it to see if she experiences any problems and let you know.

So far you are the first with such a problem. I can only assume that you grabbed the wrong gapps version.
In order to start fresh you'll have to do a full wipe (format system & data) because gapps will persist if you simply reflash the rom.

hello,
can you please upload the source of your rom to github?
thank you

Progress?

2 problems
day 2 of testing. nice work, thank you for providing this custom rom. signal strength is an issue. but battery usage is normal. I have two problems:
1. the weather does not display on lock screen.
2. google or other location based services cannot identify my location.
3. When I try to install Facebook app, it says this version of android is not supported.
can you please help me on this?

I have been using this ROM for a while, I have to say it was a horrible thing to install (not because of the ROM though, my phone doesnt read the internal SDCard in recovery.) and I have not had any issues apart from one which I will get to later, than you OP for making this, now what we need is a custom kernal to overclock this sadly weak phone.
CyanogenMod runs so much better than Stock sense 5, but I have a issue when exiting or entering apps, it will get a certain area of the frame and make a grid, this also sometimes happens while changing rotation, however it is alright to live with.
We need a cyanogenmod 11/12 port now

i'm willing to make cm 12 for this device as i own it, but HTC hasn't released the kernal source as of yet and i don't think they will at all.
if they do, send me a message and i'll start to port cm 11 or 12 and an overclocked kernel

app2sd
hi
i installed and used this rom for about a month and it was really OK. thanks
but the only thing that needed is Move2sd option in app settings and i dont know how to enable it, the 2 gig internal memory really bothers!
thanks again for your attention

Its a great rom just a pity that libaudio is not working as normal

keyboard ?
works Good to what i see but there's no keyboard . Any fix for that ?

Working great no issues with phone, gps or camera. Great job and I look forward to the updates. Seems great so far.

Thanks
I just installed the new build I am only wondering how do I turn off my mobile data. This ROM is amazing and everything works except for data turning off and front camera

Battery Life
When i flashed this rom onto my device, i noticed a significant drop in battery life. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix for this?

thnx
Thank you sooooooooooo much man ,,, its sooooooo cooool ROM
working Perfectly on my sprint Note 2 SPH-L900
camera works fine ,,, everything is cool ,,, downloading now gapps

So I'm relatively new to the forums, I mostly just read, learn and try to stay out of way. Just flashed latest nightly last night. So far very smooth and stable. I did some poking a prodding this morning to answer some questions I had coming from CM11 which I was also new to.
Nice to see Sprint carrier billing back in this version. I know I saw it posted that NFC was not working but everything but Tap & Pay seems to work fine for me. Beam and Tags all function okay.
On top of Netflix not working yet, Play Movies 3.6.16 FCs on launch and after reverting to 3.4.23 it waits until you press play to FC.
I did have the keyboard issue that has been mentioned but was prepared with SwiftKey apk on my sdcard just in case. After finishing setup ALL keyboards seem to function just fine.
BT and GPS both working great.
All in all very usable and I'm going to give it a go as a daily for as long as possible though I may have to revert back to CM11 just for the Netflix/Play Movies since we only stream in my household. We'll see.
Not sure if this thread was the best place to share (I can't seem to comment on the main thread) but if there's a more appropriate place to provide feedback that someone wants to point me at, happy to do it.
Nice work everyone who's contributing. Thanks for your efforts keeping my Note 2 relevant.?

GPS
How did you get the GPS working? I tried flashing the GPS fix linked in the thread and a clean install with the latest nightly. I drive around and never obtain a GPS lock.

So I've been following the change log for this Rom, and I can't understand much.
I'm still on the 1/5/15 non nightly version and it's pretty much functional as a daily driver. What I'm wondering is are there any major differences for the newer nightlies?
Perhaps in addition to being a Q&A on these nightlies, everyone can post which version they're on, how it is (what's broken/what's been fixed), and what's new if anything.....

Newb question: This is the first time I've started on a ROM at such an early stage of its development. Typically how fast does CM development progress once a new version is started? Idle curiosity mostly.

Haha, thanks. ? I understand the nightly releases. What I meant was I guess is how long after a new version is started does it normally take to get to the first milestone or even snapshot release for instance? Like I said, I'm just curious about the process.

Keeps restarting on cm12 boot screen
Hey guys,
I have a situation I've never come across and wanted to see if someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I have two Samsung Note 2(l900) and running on cm12 as of this morning. I installed the new nightly on both devices the same exact way by opening clockwork recovery and installing zip. One device was successful and is working just fine, the other seemed to flash fine until it had finished loading the apps and going into boot. The device would restart on the note 2 logo screen and then proceed to the cm12 boot screen and then restart after a few seconds. I went back into recovery which took longer than usual, and proceeded to clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, and install older nightlies. I had the same result no matter what nightly I went with.
I decided to set the device back to stock rom and root again. I it worked just fine, so I went through the process about 4 times installing different nightlies but had the same restarting results. It was then I noticed that getting in clockwork recovery manually lagged about 30 seconds. I took the advice of someone on the Google plus forum and switched the recovery from clockwork to twrp. Tried again with the same restarting results and with the manual recovery lagging about 30 seconds to get into.
It seems to work just fine if I flash to stock touchwiz but recovery seems to have issues.

Anyone getting Netflix or Play Movies to work yet on the latest versions? It's the only thing that made me have to revert back to CM11. I tried looking over the change log but honestly I don't know what half that stuff means.?

I've tried several methods and combinations of wiping at every possible opportunity before pressing reboot and i'm still having

Sorry, I'm probably not the most knowledgeable. If it wasn't for these forums I wouldn't know how to do any of it. I haven't had any issues flashing, but I followed the steps I quoted from the get go and do that every time. Currently I'm back on the last KitKat nightly because Netflix/Play Movies is still not working on CM12. Have you tried any of the CM11 builds? Im currently using:

Odd that Netflix and Play Movies don't work. Plex, Amazon Instant Video, MX Movie Player, and Chromecast all work.
