I am not new to flashing custom Roms. I purchased this Xoom 3g tablet used. I thought the stock OS was a bit sluggish. So, I decided to install Cyanogenmod CM11 (everest). For some reason the tablet seems to freeze / lock-up intermittently. I did some research and found an article stating there was some compatibility issues with the newest "p-gapps" package. So, I flashed an older version. I also read about some potential issues with the newest version of Chrome browser. I have since disabled it.
I am still having the same issue.
Ideas? I was thinking about OmniRom, only if it will fix my issue.
Thanks in advance.
I have attached a screenshot of the Cyanogenmod version.

Figured I would start a thread for us Canadian I337 S4 owners, since our devices come bootloader unlocked and we are able to load the experimental ROMs at this time.
So far, I've rooted and loaded CWM Touch recovery via ROM Manager. About to install CM now and give it a spin. I'll be back with my findings after a bit of playing around.

I would be curious to know if the ghosting and black crush issues are the same on CM10 as on the stock since some people say it's a software issue while others contend it's the screen itself. Also, I'm pretty jealous that you Canadian SIV owners get to try this stuff out already.

No ghosting here! And man, I forgot how fast and smooth AOSP is. Can't wait until this thing hits stable status.
Wifi doesn't work on mine. Also, hangs during GAPPS 'Welcome' process, using goo.im's 10.1 gapps.
CM10 jfleatt Nightly 20130612 - WIFI Issue
Anyone experiencing Wifi issues after upgrading to last nights nightly build on the Samsung Galaxy S4 on ATT? May have to revert to 20130610 or 09...
Thoughts?
I have a AT&T galaxy note 2 SGH-I317 upon which I recently installed the latest available nightly CM rom (10.2), which only gives me to Android 4.3.1.
I was wondering if its ok to upgrade the phone using a more recent rom for a different phone from the CM website, ie CM 11 for the Galaxy Note II (GSM LTE), keeping in mind that I do NOT need any radio functionality (I only use the phone in airplane mode and connect to a freedompop hotspot).
If this isn't possible, I did find a custom CM rom with CM11/4.4 on the web, but I'm unsure how this differs from my current CM setup, ie. will I still have options to upgrade my phone via the regular OTA CM updates if I am running this custom ROM? Are there any other issues I should be aware of with custom CM roms?
Also, since CM hasn't upgraded my phone since April, what are the chances they will be any updates at all for the SGH-I317 in the near future?
I've searched the threads/web extensively on both topics but I am still unclear on the ramifications, so any help is much appreciated.
Hi all,
I have installed the CM12-20141225-UNOFFICIAL-d850 ROM and it runs ok. But, the only two reasons I moved from the stock to a custom ROM were since I'm not on AT&T coverage, the stock would not find updates (even connect to the update servers) and that it would not register to a 4G LTE network here in Brazil.
The first time I installed the ROM I'm using now, I could get no APN here and managed to correct that with a multi-apn.zip file provided on a thread somewhere here (sorry! I can't seem to find it again!).
I'm considering going back to the stock ROM as I did not enjoyed the CM12 ROM all that much.
I'm sure there are other ROMs I could try, but I'd like to know if this multi-apn.zip patch would work with the stock rom as well.
Thanks in advance,

I have encountered APN issues on more than one cm/aosp based rom.
I would suggest trying Illusion rom (5.0.2), as I have not had the issue on this one and I personally find it more feature rich than CM12.
First of all, this issue isn't just gonna get fixed by flashing a Sense-based ROM, then going back to CM12. This goes deeper than that...it seems to be working fine for guys running the same ROM with TMO and other carriers.
What does anyone know about GPS not being able to communicate with GPS satellites when running most CM12 ROMs with Verizon's 4.4.4 firmware on your M8? Could this be kernel related? Is it that Verizon 4.4.4 firmware (CDMA) is conflicting with something? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
same issue on Sprint m8

I just flased to CM 12 Nightlies and my GPS lost as well. The GPS worked great on stock kit Kat.

That does fix the issue for a lot of people and is recommended across devices when trying to get a GPS lock on an aosp Rom (example: vzw note 2) also, some people have to do it a couple times before it works. If it still isn't working for you you can try a clean flash to stock sense get the lock etc, and then copy gps.conf from /system/etc, restore your bAckup of cm12 and paste it in the same place (back up the original first), set perms to 644, reboot and hope for the best

Just so I said it, I've got the same issue on the sprint version.
Lost GPS
I did as you suggested and tried Skyfire. The gps worked But no service or mobile data (waa waa). I made a copy of the ect/gps file and replaced it once I flashed back CM 12. Un fortunatly that didn't do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Greetings everybody! I just purchased a refurb M8 (stupid duo cam isnt working, but I'm not here for that) and noticed the lack of forums for CM13 support. I had a rezound many many years ago and back then there was a "dont want sense, dont get an HTC" sort of mentality. Is this still true? I want to try CM13 on it and can't find a certain link to a download. Do the nighties on the CM site work for all carrier variants, and generally are there problems on the device? Thanks in advance.
I think the GSM phones work better with CM13. Verizon seems to always be a little difficult. I think CM13 only has one unified build.
CM13 Builds
You can use CM13 on a Verizon M8, but my experience is that you'll lose 4G LTE unless you flash CM13, flash stock recovery, then factory reset. From there you can do whatever (including reflash a custom recovery). I'm currently using a stock ROM because CM13 was too buggy.
Any other major problems? Thanks for the feedback

CM13 user here, just wanted to chime in and say I've had basically 0 issues with it on the VZW M8 over the past several months. 4G works perfectly fine, it's nice and clean, just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-htc-one-t3256696
Every few weeks someone manages to work a minor bug into the nightlies (that's why they exist), but they are usually patched next day or overcome by simply reverting a day and waiting for a quick fix.
I can neither confirm nor deny the need to flash/revert/reset for 4G because this is something I already needed to do a while back for a completely different GPE ROM, but I didn't have any 4G issues when I switched to CM. I consider it an inevitable step when initially starting down the ROM path. Just back up whatever's important and go for it
