[Q] Cm 11 Question - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all! I'm looking for a CM rom that works with PAD (Puzzle and Dragons). On a lot of the CM roms, PAD has an infinite download loop, which is a deal breaker for me. If you could give me the name of the rom and the kernel you're using, that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your time!

If it doesn't work on cm, or a bunch of cm based roms....seems pretty clear it's just not compatible with cm....And likely that will be the same for all cm based roms.

P&D stopped working after the M10 snapshot which was released back in September (16). There were some notable major framework changes, and I believe these are what lead the app to stop working/cause the infinite download loop.

The only workaround known at this time is to install a version older than that date.

[Q] CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 vs CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds

Hye, can I ask something?
What's the difference between
CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240177
and
CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268304
Try to search for it, but still cannot find the difference.
Thanks.
Ummm, the differences come...get ready....nightly.
Sorry, not trying to be an ass, but couldnt resist. Nightlies are updated more or less nightly with new tweaks and features. RC is the last known stable, non-experimental build. If you follow the nightly thread, I'm sure someone will be posting links to the changelog.

It's okay. Still newbie here.
Yes, the word nightly. I know that, but after try searching the difference, still know nothing.
So, what do you mean is, nightly builds is official rom from cyanogenmod?
They are both official, but nightlies contain changes done to improve the roms, ofcourse doesn't always mean that it improves. Those are what I like to think of as "experimental". RC stands for release candidate. Rc's have been known to be the latest stable rom that is ready for public testing. Still, rc's are just released to receive approval, once everyone likes it, it may become official, or Stable release. You'll know when they're unofficial, they will state so in the threads name.
RC[Release Candidate] is the Stable Release While Nightly Builds are often modified with new tweaks and always improved, which means nightly are quick updated
CyanogenMod RC and Nightly Builds explained
In the world of CyanogenMod...
7.1 = indicates the version number of the mod
RC = Release Candidate, mostly bug-free, also known as "stable", change log usually available
Nightly Builds are
Beta
No change-log. Cyanogen fans accept that they would rather a Modder/Developer spend time working on a new version, than taking precious time to write change logs documenting every thing they did/tweaked.
Not released at a certain time (night).
Not released EVERY night, could be weekly.
A new "nightly" version is released, when the developer/modder is ready to upload it.
Any inquiries of when a new RC or nightly will be available will receive the following tin-can reply, "it'll be ready when its ready."
"Nightly" CyanogenMod fans/users are like Pit Bulls who haven't been fed in 3 days. They look forward to a new version every "night", even if its bugged and bad. If the a new "nightly" released version is very buggy, the CyanogenMod fan/user will simply restore/revert to an earlier CyanogenMod version that worked, whether its nightly or RC version, simply using the "restore" of a backup function. All CyanogenMod fans are advised to backup, before doing any changes. Those that don't, usually regret it, and won't do it again.
Those Developers/Modders working tirelessly to improve upon the CyanogenMod are doing it for the most part on their own time late at night. Bugs expected, because it wasn't thoroughly tested because so many CyanogenMod fans are eager and hungry for the latest version with cool features and tweaks and hope to not wait a month+ for an official-mostly'debugged-version(RC).
Each Android Mobile requires dedicated Modders/Developers, because every mobile has different ram/rom/processor/buttons/irks/camera and requires a special build. Therefore if you have an outdated mobile (ie. G1) that no dedicated Modders/Developers are using, you may never see an CyanogenMod update again.
In the world of updating a Android OS, if you fix/add one feature, it may/will break/not-work another feature. Usually the first thing to break/not-work the camera &/or the video camera &/or the front camera. If you're planning to become a Developer/Modder, expect a lot of frustration.

In answer to the qusetion; nothing.
The RC1 in the link is an official port for Cyanogen7 that is so much of a recent development that it is not yet included in the CM Nightly releases that have already been explained. I'm guessing that it will still be a port until after this round of updates when Nexx's excellent "RC1" will finally be fully integrated into the Cm device family.
As very little can happen to a nightly build sometimes, Nexx just can't be arsed to update nightly, he just does it when there's a biggy in the changelog.
Keep up the good work Nexx. v105 is Solid.

hi
daily updates are nightly, every month the RC release that contains more 'updates nightly. After when a rom does not have bugs and 'head is released stable
Nightlies are like experimental or starting releases.the people interested try it,and the developers work hard to make it stable and usable for day to day use.i am a noob
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Ordinary Releases or sometimes in roms RC's are largely redone versions of the older versions with usually more features, bug fixes, and sometimes a complete rebuild/overhaul of the ROM. They are usually released from every few weeks to every few months. Nightlies are released daily or near daily with small bugfixes and sometimes new features. Sometimes could be a redo of an unstable build from the day before due to problems like bootloops and others which are due to a bug or a kernel problem as I used to deal with.

Sorry to dig this thread up, but I didn't want to start a new thread about nightlies when I found this one!
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 on my Xperia Tablet Z (SGP311) and was tempted to install the latest 'nightly' version... CM 10.2.
What I was wondering was... is there any chance my device could need flashing back to a stable build from installing nightly builds? It took a lot of perseverance to get CM 10.1.3 running on my tablet and since Cyanogenmod can now be updated as if it was the standard android (I mean you can just check for updates and install without any hassle with flashing) I want to avoid having to flash my device again.

[Q] On CyanogenMod 10.1-20130624 nightly but can't figure out how to update =/

Hey guys,
So I haven't picked up my tf300t for quite a long time and I'm on CyanogenMod nightlys and I go to update it but it keeps looping the asus logo on me.
running
CyanogenMod 10.1-20130624-NIGHTLY-tf300t
I try and use goomanager to update my nightly to the newest nightly build "cm-10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-tf300t.zip" and when it reboots it just loops on me.
So thankfully i've backed up myself and restore to my current build cm10.1-20130624nightly.
Anways, so I install the latest TWRP build
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-JB.blob 2013-08-29 21:45:14 PDT
thinking that that might help, seeing as how i'm running android v. 4.2.2
It doesn't help. So i try and flash the 9/4 cm 10.2 nightly via TWRP and it still won't work.
I'm just really wondering what step I'm missing. I know I've probably missed something obvious so I don't mind if you guys lay into me for being a moron. I just would like to be running the latest CM10.2 nightly out there right now.
TIA you guys, I'll keep searching these threads for help, but if you can, tell this idiot OP what he's missing and what he should do. Stay classy yall

It might be an issue with the version of your bootloader, to use CM 10.2 yo need to update your bootloader and to do so yo need update to the latest stock and then update to the custom rom you wan´t.
Also is it unlock, if you you need to install twrp 2.5

Need STABLE 4.2+ ROM...

I have a WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0"). I bought this for the SOLE purpose of swapping it into my vehicle as the main media source - radio, video, navigation. I need to root it for a few pieces of software to make this an easy swap (mostly need it to behave like a newer LG phone where you double tap to wake up) so I need a custom kernel and/or ROM to enable this feature via software I guess... So, if I wanted a custom ROM, what is the most STABLE ROM to date. I have used probably 15 different ROM's between my S3, Note2 and older phones and with just about every one of them, there was some random problem with glitches or restarts... Just want this to be as seamless as possible.
I have found Slimkat to be very stable on my 5113. I wanted a tablet that had a very light ROM and Slimkat delivered.

Slimkat had some sound issues on my 5113, Omnirom works great for me!
I think the best way is to install one, make a backup in TWRP and then you can wipe and try other roms.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 for the last year and it's lite and super stable, no glitches nothing wierd. Everything works. W/great battery life. Check out

I am going through the process of assessing the last official release for the Tab 2 7" and 10.1" (4.2.2) and comparing them to the last official stable release from CM and the CM11 nightlies.
I can tell you that so far, as much as I hate the TW interface, the last official stock ROM is stellar for battery life. I seem to remember (But been too long to trust the memories) that the last official stable CM10 was really really good on battery and overall performance/stability.
I am commenting on the progress in the p5110 experimental forum at CM if you want to follow. my user name there is Frontlinegeek.
The CM11 nightlies are stable. I have been running them since December and never had any issues.

Oh they are plenty stable but there is a known KitKat battery drain issue in it that has not been fixed. You need to install a custom Kernel to get around the issue till they finally fix it in the official ROM downloads from CM.
I used Dhollmen's Kernel to get past the issue.
I had stupidly not done any research on XDA over the issue and have since moved back to CM11 nightlies and the mentioned Kernel and the battery life is stellar. Again.

Interesting, because in the two years I have owned my tab 2 and the 6 months I've owned my LG g2, I have never had to flash a custom kernel. I guess I just get lucky. [emoji41]
Ya, I never had an issue on CM10 or with CM11 in the early days but it cropped up in the spring and I was far too tolerant of the issue all this time. Only learned that it can be an issue this week.

Which KitKat ROM for the Xoom (Wingray) is the Best?

Motorola stopped supporting the device past 4.1.2 Jellybean. I've been running Team EOS on 4.2.2 for a long time, but I've waited long enough, and I'm ready to go about making the necessary preparations (such as installing the BigPart partition) in order to flash ROMs running on later Android versions. I was hoping to push my ROM to Lollipop, but it appears all the Lollipop/Marshmallow ROMs in development are still in the Alpha stage. I'm not interested in that. I value system functionality, stability, and streamlining above all things-- such as the depth of features and customization in the OS skin's framework itself-- so I tend to gravitate towards the barer AOSP ROMs with the deepest histories of support.
Fortunately, it appears there are a platter of ROMs out on KitKat 4.4.4 that appear to have been troubleshot extensively and mostly ironed out.
CyanogenMod 11.0 (4.4.4) [BIGPART]
CyanogenMod 11.0 (4.4.4) [No BIGPART]
Team EOS (4.4.4)
Assefmod (4.4.4)
OmniROM (4.4.4)
Assefmod uses Team EOS nightlies as its skeleton.
It was my understanding that CyanogenMod was the most universal firmware because this was its chief function: to be a skeleton on which ROM developers could craft their personal skins for their personal devices. I have always presumed that CyanogenMod doesn't necessarily offer the most stable experience due to this because I figured device-specific support would be most intensively assumed by grassroots coders who crafted their own ROMs on top of CM before tweaking & troubleshooting (where needed) to rein in the loose wires. If this is ignorant or inaccurate, then please correct and educate me on the matter.
Would like some feedback on this as well. I've got two XOOM's, one which I just managed to revive after hosing it up, that I would like to update to the best ROM.

Where did you find the files? Looked around omnirom.org and found nothing for Motorola devices.
