CM10 Nightly 8/25 Question

Hi all, first time poster! I was going to post in the development section (CM10 releases) but since I'm a new user, I came here
I just had a few questions about the 8/25 nightly and flashing new ones in general.
The first time, I was on stock (rooted, unlocked), went to CWR, flashed both nightly & gapps without doing a fact reset.
Didn't exactly put me in a bootloop, but it would go to a nexus 7 bootscreen (which I had installed myself, I think), and it would continue forever without visually appearing to loop to boot animation. So maybe it was a bootloop, but the animation just seemed to continue smoothly without any visual glitches...forever. If that made sense. Since it smoothly loops in the first place, I thought a bootloop might make the loop irregular etc. OKAY MOVING ON.
I got back into recovery mode, did a factory reset, wiped the cache partition, flashed everything, then booted it up...and it worked (thank god, no $600 brick)! But for some reason it showed the CM9 boot animation for some reason. Is this what's supposed to happen?
Also, when I flash new nightlies, will I have to factory reset every time? Is there anything else a noob might have to know about CM10, flashing, etc that isn't immediately obvious?
Thanks a lot for your time (fantastic noob video, by the way, and I apologize for my lack of brevity but I try to make up for it with sincerity in thanks)! Any help is greatly appreciated!

It still has the cm9 boot animation(doesnt bother me) it will get updated soon for the cm10 bootanimation. I think you can flash the cm10 bootanimation. You don't have to factory reset every nightly but you mightrun into problems if you dont. for sure wipe dalvik and cache every nightly.For now i would factory reset every nightly because they are still changing alot of things.

Gotcha! Thanks, yeah at first I just went WTF because I thought I had flashed the wrong ROM ^^;;
Hope I'm able to find a stable version then so I can at least get set up and back up my apps etc before having to fact reset for the next nightly haha.
Another issue I was having on stock TW was that for some reason installing third-party apps would be impossible--I could click on cancel but not on install when the package installer screen came up. Flashing CM10 actually fixed this

cm10 freezes periodically

i downloaded and flashed cm10 on my phone from xda and it was the att version of cm10. everything works perfectly except it freezes sometimes when in use. i have to reboot phone to make it work. i wiped before flashing and cleared cahe and factory reset and everything and it still freezes. i also downloaded jb gapps from link on xda. any suggestions?

Cm10 is not fully functional its still under construction

CM10 is stated in that thread as being in an "early state". Its basically still beta. If you did a full wipe (particularly data), probably not much else you can do.
If you want the cutting edge, you will have to expect some random bugs and freezes. If its not for you, try a more mature ROM.

I haven't had one single reboot and I've been running it for at least a week(streaming music,playing games,watching vids etc.) and each time I flash a new nightly? All I do is clear both caches then install cm10 nightly plus gapps then clear caches again for good measure then reboot. It's been great for me! In the earlier stages it was worse but too me its quite stable now. :good:

I had CM10 for a while and never had that issue. Make sure to wipe everything (cache, dalvik, factory reset, & system). Hell, do it twice to be sure. Then reflash.

[Q] Help!! No call/data connection on Verizon GSIII after flashing CM10.1-20121221

Hello XDA,
Sorry for the long post but I am desperate!
The first ROM I ever flashed was CM 10 M2 which ran well and went without any problems. For this I used CWM. I found a stable nightly early in December and decided to update. I also wanted to store my backups on my external however, so I switched to TWRP and created a new backup of my stock TouchWiz rom using TWRP then backed my CM10 M2 up just in case. I flashed the update without wiping the data (factory reset) but did wipe the dalvik cache. This worked fine; all my apps were still there as well as my background. So when GooManager told me there was a 10.1 update for my Rom I thought why not try it out. I figured this was a big update so I wiped dalvik and did a factory reset. After flashing I ended up in a loop of "com.android.something or other has stopped" which turned into "setup wizard has stopped". The homescreen would not load. Fine. Booted into recovery last night after this and reinstalled my latest backup of the nightly I had been using for about 20 days. Seemed OK but the "android activation" screen was taking forever so I pushed home, plugged my phone in and passed out. I Woke up this morning and tried to send a text but it wouldn't send. Tried to call and I couldn't. Now I have restored every recovery I had (Stock, M2, Nightly) multiple times and same problem except that in stock I get a roaming charge warning. I was sure returning to stock would solve this. Does anyone know what I can do? Im not sure exactly how to factory reset but am willing if thats what it takes.
Thanks a ton!

[Q] Need Help!

Hi, I just tried flashing cyanogenmod on my us cellular galaxy s3, and I ran into a problem. I followed a great youtube tutorial on how to flash cyanogen, and everything went fine. the tutorial used goomanager, and was done only using the phone, no computer. I flashed the rom after backing everything up through titanium, and everything appeared to be working like it should. After the flash was complete, the cyanogen animation popped up on my screen, but as soon as it finished loading, two messages popped up: setup wizard has stopped and goo.apps has stopped. I would hit okay, but the two messages just kept popping up. I restored my stock rom, but id still like to flash cyanogen and I need to know what I need to do to prevent this from happening again and how to restart the flash process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

before you flashed the rom did you wipe data and cache? you might also be on the nightly version, try looking for the stable version, and if its on 10.1 its on 10.1, theres nothing you can do but wait for it to become stable if it isent already.

Everything was wiped. what I think happened was when I backed everything up, I didn't set titanium to not restore my app data, causing a bootloop. I could be very wrong about that though. What I need to know is how to reflash it, as I have already tried to but when I do it brings up system recovery instead of reflashing. Is it because I already tried flashing it once? and if that's the case how do I start from scratch? Oh, and I did flash the stable version. it was 10.1.2

might want to try flashing a stock rom via odin cause it sounds like you have stock recovery now, i dont know if anyone will pick you up in the q&a section, since yours is us cellular i dont think they have a forum for that specific contractor just only t-mobile at&t and verizon would have one. you can ask them in their q&a but tell them your situation and that your on us cellular. good luck mate. if ya have any questions just ask right here.

Stuck at launch screen - Tried wipe cache etc

Hi
I got a jiayu s3 advance and it has been working quite allright. Installed a new rom and was working just fine until now when it just gets stuck at logo (launch screen). Anyways, I entered recovery and wiped all cache etc, it didnt work. I really do not want to factory reset and lose all the data unless I have too. Is there anything else I can try?
I am also thinking about getting a new rom. I see there are a lot of version but really dont know the big difference between Miu, CM, official, cyanogen, also some google pixel mod official.
