Shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use TWRP. I'm pretty sure nard himself uses it. The CWM was a CM project for a long time, and still the recovery built within it. Everyone pushes their stuff.
been running M7 for about a day now. had one fc with touchdown, my work email client, but otherwise looks good. surprised i had to manually change build.prop to set the dpi. i'm not blind, so i hate the trend towards gigantic fonts even on smallish screens like this one.
i also wasn't able to use tibu to restore securid from my old phone (vzw droid4) but i suspect that app uses some system properties like imei to create its security, so it can't be moved... not a problem. just have to do clean in stall and reimport the token.
one thing i noticed even in cm11m2 on my d4 as well as on this phone in cm11m7 is that the included sms app doesn't actually have a dark theme, and that sticks out like a sore thumb. even when you check the box for dark theme in the sms app itself, it's still white. not a huge deal obviously but doesn't match the rest of cm's normal polish.

The "use dark theme" option only applies to the quick reply pop up windows. The option is conveniently listed in the "quick reply" section.

doh, you're right. my point still stands about messaging not matching the rest of cm's theming. i guess they expect people to just use chomp, go, handcent or whatever other app... i like the standard one in cm tho. except for how light it is.
What did change from the blobs for the builds after 14 /06 ?
Running 14/06 now, really good, battery charging issues are gone (i think), because a new kernel/other blobs.
Where can you find more info about blobs changes (propetary) ?
I've been having data and sms issues lately since I switched to cm11 or any of the latest 4.3.3 builds. Was there a recent radio firmware released?

Are you on T-Mo? Are you using a third party messenging app?
Did you wipe your data and cache before you flashed?

which build are you on? i'm running cm11-20140608-Snapshot-M7 (which is 4.4.2, not 4.3.3) and have no issues to report so far. i haven't given it a full shakedown yet - still haven't tried BT or GPS but so far so good. watched netflix on the bus this morning and never had an issue. my wife and i text a lot and haven't had issues w/ that either. this evening i'm going to try out BT with my elm327 obd-ii adapter and if i have time, test audio over an avantree cara adapter. i started google maps a couple times and it found me quickly and accurately but i haven't run gps for more than a minute or so at a time so i don't know how it'll do. maybe i'll turn it on while on the bus this afternoon and see if it works well for the whole ride home.

After a few minutes of playing with the CM M5 smartphone burned and became slow. Now the smartphone with the stock firmware does not burn more but it is slow. It works well this M7? You recommended me?
For a few months I used CM kitkat but I had to do a wipe. Now I do not know how to install the CM. I'm using the stock firmware.
To install:
1 rooted smartphone.

First, use the most up-to-date recovery; I'm pretty sure that cwm 6.0.1.2 isn't it if I see 6.0.4.7 on other devices. I like using TWRP personally, and there's a thread in this forum for that. The outdated recovery is probably the main problem right there for the failed flash.
Second, it doesn't look like you wiped anything in your steps. No factory reset, not even wiping cache and dalvik. Most people do a clean flash (that's a factory reset in recovery) when troubleshooting a failure to install a custom ROM.
Try using the latest recovery, wiping at least cache and dalvik, and see if it helps.
Good luck

i second this. my steps were:
1- boot to download mode, install twrp
2- boot to recovery, flash CM
3- while still in recovery, flash gapps if you want them (make sure you have the correct version of gapps from the CM site)
4- still in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik
5- still in recovery, do factory reset
6- reboot normally (it's called 'system' in twrp) and start using phone
note that there is no need to copy/flash SU at any time because CM is already rooted.
using nightly 22/06 my phone slowed down to unusable slow, flashed 24/06 yesterday.
Never had this before on cm nightly's for the relay.
And the charging (usb) problems aren't over yet (sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes a few minutes).
Did a clean install a week ago (didn't solve anything).

Ok. Now, find out what version of cpu you have and get some logs to help them track down your problems.
There's a search box in the corner.
I don't have any of the problems you are describing and I am betting the developers do not, either.

I am on T-Mo, I get this via the default android messaging app as well as hangouts, but I also have times where mobile data refuses to work as well.
Right now, I'm having this issue on 11-20140608-Snapshot-M7-apexqtmo. I did wipe data and cache before I flashed. I'm not sure what is causing my issue.
I am tempted to reflash it back to factory, and take it back under my total care and get it replaced for a S5, but I really like my keyboard. :crying:
did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom? the only quirk i've noticed on m7 is that if i don't reboot every couple of days, my work email program (touchdown) likes to get slow and crashy while composing emails. going to the recent apps drawer and closing everything there usually fixes that. gps and bluetooth work fine even at the same time and battery life is great. after having tried multiple roms on my droid4 and having gps and camera issues, i am pleasently susprised how stable cm is on this relay (which i've only had a couple weeks now).

I even tried that too. My phone's about a year and a half old now. I've noticed recently if the keyboard is out, or i'm holding the phone sideways, and I get a call, the phone app crashes over and over till i rotate it upward so the display is vertical, then it stops crashing(all while the phone is still ringing so I can still answer it.)

So I had google wallet working properly using the fix on an earlier release of CM7 Nightly and then I tried the ICS Port for a few weeks. Well I came back to CM7 nightlies and before doing so i did a clean wipe and format and now when I try to install google wallet I get an error that says "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (test-keys). Please contact Google Support" By accident I pressed the search key and the window disappeared and it seemed like it let me go through the process of setting up google wallet. I even received an email from google confirming it. However, it doesn't load the $10 so there's no way of telling if it would still work given the error. Is there a simple fix to this? I tried removing it and re-installing the fix to no avail. I'm a n00b if you couldn't tell already.
Had the same issue earlier and now wallet just sits there and syncs first time this has done this. Using Petes Kernel and Bugless Beast rom which Ive flashed a few times before now
I'm having the same problems, so what I am doing is unrooting then reroot and see if the problem had to do with 4.0 I'll let y'all know my status in about 30 minutes.
** UnRooted, reRooted, and flashed over cm7 again and no fix..
***** Now I am completely unrooted and fully updated and still GW doesn't work*******
Flash the google wallet fix in the same recovery session when flashing your custom rom
this i do know but now i am completlely stock and my nfc can't uncheck, wont work at all... idk what happened but nothing is working now.
Had this problem too.
I was running ICS Dirty 3.6 for a few days and just flashed back to GPA18 and now wallet doesn't work, gives the above mentioned error. I contacted google wallet services and they are "investigating" the problem.
The support specialist I talked to let me know that wallet is not designed to work with custom roms and rooted phones because of security issues. I am wating to hear back from the wallet team about how they will resolve this. I will update here when I hear back from them and let you know how they resolved the issue.
See it isn't a Google Wallet problem its an NFC problem, you won't be able to uncheck the NFC option in the wireless settings. Lucky for me the balance in my Google Wallet account is $0.00 lol
I can check and uncheck my NFC option in settings. ?

Yea I can't, guess its broke on my phone now. When I press it to uncheck it, it just greys out then I press back then reenter wireless settings and it's still checked in green like normal

Something weird
ok as you know from reading these posts I cant uncheck NFC while Google Wallet is installed on the phone. when I use titanium back up to take it off then I can uncheck it. So I tried to install it again and then it still wouldn't uncheck it just greys out ( even the check ) and when I go to Google Wallet its just a straight Black Screen and it just sits there.

I tried this with cm7, ics, and oxygen. So I'm guessing it is an nfc related issue like everyone else is saying. It was working great before--not sure what went wrong in between.
Works Only on Rooted Stock ROM
I just installed this on my AT&T Nexus S and it works, got the $10 pre-paid card too. I switched to CM7 ROM and I got the "insufficient secure element privileges" error. Seems like Google Wallet is blocking CUSTOM ROMS -- It makes sense, it is dealing with money after all.
If you are getting the gray NFC and cannot check it on, just download the Nfc_fix.zip and flash it. It should work after that. Remember that flashes your Dalvik cache so the reboot will take longer.. don't panic and wait.

I could have sworn I had it working on CM7 originally. I remember getting the $10 as well. But maybe you're right and my memory is just serving me incorrectly.
edit: i got it to work on the latest oxygen. of course oxygen IS pretty much stock. i'm not sure that i did anything different though. i did a clean wipe, data, cache, dalvik, formatted system, cache, data, boot and installed rom gapps and wallet fix.

Everything you're telling I already know, I even unrooted the phone went back to 2.3.4 then updated to 2.3.5, then 2.3.7 I am still getting the same problem .. so it has nothing to do with root or the same way i've been flashing the fix. I flashed over the GW fix over 20 times with no problems until I flashed the ICS ROM that is out for the NS4G, after I flashed it, I've had nothing but problems.

Hi there,
I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.
The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.
Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.
Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:
- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install
- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps
- wiped data on the google services framework
- Installed different version of gapps
- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.
It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?
yea, Wifi is connected fine. Alternate markets like 'slideme', and browser, gmail, maps app etc work fine without problems.
I have flashed the latest gapps package as recommended by EOS rom makers (v. 10 i believe)
after installing the eos mod, did u restart before installing the gaps?
load a stock backup then reinstall your current flavor and gapps

First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.
Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.
IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.
Good luck!
ok- will try and respond with results. thanks for the patience/

Hi - I did the steps exactly as you said (with a full data wipe). Still getting nowhere?
Any more ideas?
Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.
Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.
Tapatalking
I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

Have you tried accessing the market through the browser? You will need to sign in...that may reestablish your link. I can't see why you need to go back to stock Honeycomb. It gets complicated getting cwm recovery back on (to stick).

Have you started simple - pulling the battery?
Also - any battery status apps installed? https://market.android.com/details?id=net.mobilemonkeys.Battery looks like some have the ability to automatically respond to a text with a battery level - one might be going rogue?? (SMS Commander is another that can do this)

No battery apps. Tried pulling battery, nothing.
If this just started today, there had to be something that triggered it. Have you considered flashing your backup (assuming you have one) to see if it goes away?

That's about where I'm at.
Seems like an app issue, rather than a carrier/rom/w/e issue.
And given it's obscurity, one is going to have to clean wipe down to base ROM without any installed apps/widgets and see if the issue persists.
If it doesn't, then reloading Apps-Data and see if it persists...
If it does persist before reloading apps-data, then they would have eliminated some unfathomable number of variables...

If something triggered it, I have no clue what did. Last night, I charged my phone, woke up for work, the wife sent me a text and that is when it happened. I have a back up yea, which I might have to do.
Did you ever fix this or figure out what it was? My GS3 has started doing this. No ROM, rooted and unlocked. Only SMS app I have installed would be Mighty Text.

That is weird!
Here's what I would do...
1. Check for any apps that updated through the Google Play Store overnight
a. If any updated, uninstall and see if that fixed your issue.
b. if none updated, continue to step 2
2. Reboot into CWM Recovery and wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions from CWM
3. Test your device
a. if problem is fixed stop here
b. if problem persists continue to step 4
4. Verify that you do have a nandroid backup of your phone
a. to do this, open file explorer and navigate to the you CWM folder on your SD card and verify a nandroid backup has been made
b. if one is not made, reboot into recovery and do this now!!!
5. Go to settings and reset your device.
6. When phone boots back up, test SMS
a. if issue persists, download CM 7.2 and re flash your rom and go to step 7
b. if issue is fixed, continue to step 7
7. If the issue is fixed, you know its a setting or app on your phone causing the problem.
8. If you have a previous nandroid backup, which you stated you did, flash the nandroid through CWM
9. Test SMS
a. if issue is fixed GREAT
b. if issue is not fixed, wipe your phone and install your apps back one by one from the google play store
Previously when I would flash a CM ROM I would dirty flash it so I didn't have to reinstall my apps back to my phone. If you are flashing nightlies of CM 7.2, I would do a regular flash to wipe the device completely.
On a side note, an Unofficial version of CM10 is available for the Inspire 4G... It will be picked up by the CM Dev team in about a month. That means we will have some Jelly Bean love official from CM.
Cheers!!!
Should I bother updating?

allright. So I'll pull the plunge on this one.
TWRP and the regular update process don't seem to work. So square one from what it seems

I updated with theOTA from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/android-5-1-t3115536 just download the ota and supersu from that link and flash the OTA first then supersu and your done. I didnt even lose recovery after i flashed these!
Oh yeah and I used google sheets and docs for 4 hours this morning without a single freeze or crash normally i would've had at least 10 during that time. So yes its def. worth it.
So far.... I installed about 3 hours after release, it's much much smoother. Only once have I gotten the "what the frig is this thing doing" hang and sputter, while installing busy box. Colors are great. It's like flashing a new screen. Xposed super alpha for 5.1 working. Gravity box works, flat style colored bars works.
Now just waiting for custom kernels....
Depends. Update 3.0 has these issues:
1- Apps optimization on every reboot. (rebooting takes 5 or more minutes)
2- USB OTG not working (tried usb flash drives and nothing)
3- Controller not turning off when button pressed (by design)
I was on 5.0.1 rooted, I wiped everything, flashed 5.1 and rooted again, if you are wondering.

Something may have gone wrong. I've only had the optimization come up if I clear cache or install apps via recovery so far... And I've been trying to get it to crash at reboot....
Judging from the responses in this thread, it looks like it's finally time for me to unlock my bootloader and update from 4.4. Wish me luck, guys!

I've had it come up on several reboots. Many people report it too on the official Nvidia forums.
But the USB OTG thing did it, Im staying on 2.2.1 until a hotfix is released.
I stand corrected, =x I have 2 apps optimizing at boot.
No problems here
I installed ota 3.0 from twrp after wiping everything including internal memory and I have no problems....
No app optimizations after every reboot or havent encountered any lags or sound glitches + wifi performance is much better and no issues with hdmi or usb otg either, played half life 2 for like 2.5 hours straight and had no issues even for a second...
Don't now what happened with the people who are having problems with this update. I have 32gb lte version and the tab performance is perfect now, for me atleast.
So i would suggest wiping everything except external sdcard and flashing full rom + latest supersu
USB OTG is working for me. I can use my 8GB drive.
I also have the Apps optimizing at every boot bug. 189 of them nonetheless... So the wait is huge.
Full OTA dirty flash over previous 2.2.1, dalvik/cache wipe. I hope for a fix soon.
Wipe everything then install full rom, i am pretty sure u wont get apps optimizing every boot. For me after the update the boot cycles are the fastest yet and I also do have around 180 apps...

I wiped everything except internal and external storage, I rooted and I still had the optimizing apps every reboot. And not just 2 or 3 apps, all of them.

Well the only difference now is i wiped internal storage too and i have no idea if this helps but i have selinux mode set to permissive, if this doesnt work then i guess i am one of the lucky ones...
I also found that the speakers has a screeching irritating sounds when playing media on my wifi version.
Anybody else having the same problem?
I have a rooted Verizon device that is running stock 4.1.2, since I have the unlimited data and use the free hotspot toggle.
Well, almost none of the current apps works with my phone anymore, its getting very frustrating. I'd like to unroot my phone and just get to the most recent software, then buy Foxfi for the hotspot...will that work?
Is there a better option? Can I upgrade the software without unrooting ?
Any help would be apprecaited, thanks!

If you want to take the OTA update you will need to unroot. I would highly advise against this as you will permanently lock your bootloader down but if that's what you choose then so be it

Ok, then what would you suggest I do?? Is there a ROM i can flash to update the software and still use the hotspot free?

I see foxfi hasn't been updated in the play store in nearly 3 years. Some roms have the Hotspot feature built in as far as what roms have it built in, as far as newer roms that much I don't know. I'm running the last build of CleanRom and its built in.
I understand a lot of apps currently require a newer version of Android to run. My suggestion would be to check out the development forums for the VZW S3 and see which roms have it built in rather than having to buy the app itself

I tried reading up, but this seems intimidating. Maybe you can point me in the right direction...my ONLY needs are a working camera (slow motion would be VERY nice to have if available), hotspot tether that I can use without paying the monthly fee (I have unlimited data), and software version that actually works with apps from the playstore.
As far as I know, I have 4.1.2 software, unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted.

Ok what android version are you looking to be on?
Sent from my Nexus 6
I dont' really care at all, just one that will work with apps from the play store. Most apps now need at least version 4.2.....I'd like to be on the newest version I can be that has a working camera and hotspot....i'm assuming if I go to a ROM i can still use apps from the play store?

Of course. I hardly ever run stock on any of my devices. I think my N6 is the only one but it's customized. CleanRom is on version 4.3 I'm not sure about AllianceRom which I also have uploaded to my AFH account

I'll send you a PM with the link

I'll also chime in. If OP is looking to update his phone, there are 2 paths. The stock path, which will be up to KitKat based roms (android 4.4) because that was the last update the S3 ever received. You could install something like superliterom (found in our android developement thread). But from your needs (hotspot, and camera) you can go all the way on to marshmallow (android 6) using CM13 which is what I'm running. The only bugs now are bluetooth (it may crash if you're playing music through bluetooth and receiving a call through bluetooth like in a car for example), gps is slow to lock (which is a problem is most of the CM roms), and some minor front camera bugs ie. instagram will crash, but every other camera and video camera/video calling app will work that I've tried. If I was in your shoes, I would try CM13 to see if you like it, and then bounce down from there to a 4.4 or 4.3 rom as a solid 2nd or third choice. I went from cleanrom, to alliance 4.3, to cm12.1 (I could never get gps to lock on this, but everything else worked), to cm13. They are all solid. Even something like slimkat 4.4 has pretty good reviews. But don't ever take the OTA update...there is no point in that now besides locking your phone forever and limiting the usability of your phone.
I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but if I install cm13 will I lose all my text messages, emails, app settings, etc.??

Yes. I wouldn't suggest updating to a newer rom without wiping the internal storage. You could always backup text messages. Emails automatically save to the Gmail app and the app settings well that can't be recovered but you could always set it the way it was previously

Correct. You can use third party apps as well. I've been using one for years and it catches call logs also

Ok, so I've downloaded "Oct-M-R1-6.0.1 for d2vzw", the MD5 checksum, and "open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160806".
I have just installed TWRP 3.0.2 on my device and it appears to be working.
Now what?
Put the files onto my microsd or onto my phone storage?
Install from TWRP and that's it?
I have titanium backup, should I run that first? OR is there a backup option from twrp??
VERY specific directions would be appreciated! Thanks LOL
PS - One last thing, what developer options need to be checked or unchecked if any in my phone settings.

In developer options you really only need to enable USB debugging.
As far as installing the rom putting it on your SD card should be efficient or once in TWRP you can mount the internal and move it into there if connected to a pc. As far as installing it's pretty straight forward.
Wipe internal completely but DO NOT wipe your SD card. Install the zip first then gapps and ensure you wipe cache and dalvik. Once done reboot and let the device sit for about 10 minutes without touching it to let the rom settle down, once done just reinstall everything. I do not recommend to install apps via titanium backup (i.e. Data for those apps) anymore questions feel free to ask

Ok, I started the process. Did my backup from twrp and then installed the zip from my sd and gapp at same time...phone has been in a boot loop for about an hour....every now and then it says "Android Starting - optimizing apps", then starting apps....should i just keep waiting or redo it???

The rom may of not played well with the device. I installed lollipop on my S3 and it was quite slow. I'd say restore the backup but you can try installing it again but I forewarn you that it may just not work at all
Sent from my Nexus 6
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I restored my version, worked fine...then tried again and got boot loop again...back to my 4.1.2 for now until I can figure it out. Second time I went into advanced and wiped the system, too...didn't help.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated....could I have a bad zip file?
I came across this link https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2vzw , which should I download? What's the difference between all of these versions? Nightly vs. Snapshot vs. Stable? Also, what is the "Release" and the "Recovery"
