So, I decided to flash the AK Kernel to fix the ghost swipe issue and the slow keyboard etc. It worked, but now the battery life is fairly bad, I'm getting around 10-12 hours and I'm at work for 8 of those hours so it doesn't get used. Google Play wake-up services are off etc. Just wondering if there's a remedy for this?

You have to provide more information like screen on time, graphs etc.
Edit: You are running old AK kernel, version update to the latest to fix the drain.

Can you link me to it? I'll put a graph up later after I finish work.
Google play related wakelocks are more Rom related anyways.
Yeah. I was just saying that for process of elimination incase someone suggested it. I'm in work at the moment. If someone could link me to the newer kernel version. That'd be wicked. If not, not to worry. I'll have a quick look when I'm home.

Thanks for the effort. Managed to download their AK kernel updater app and it worked a charm. Thanks for your help. My battery now says 22hrs on 75% instead of about 5 hours. I'll leave this open for another day just incase it starts draining.
Can I flash this straight over francos kernel?
Yeah. Download it, wipe dalvik and cache before install and after install (always do it just incase)

Thanks mate. Does wiping dalvik/ cache delete any data, apps etc?
It deletes the data IN your apps. But not any apps or photos or any personal data. I.e. if you've got a game that's linked to Google Play, your data will save, if not back it up.

That's incorrect. Wiping cache and dalvik cache doesn't wipe any app data at all. Only wiping the /data partition will erase apps (and their data) from the device.

Hey guys,
I just installed CM7, which is awesome, but I'm wondering how everyone keeps up with the new nightly builds without spending an hour restoring their phone every day. Is there a way to backup everything about your phone - even your settings, shortcuts, widgets, etc. - and then restore those settings after you install a new ROM?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
U don't need to wipe data between every nightlie, I only do that when going from cm7 to faux Rom or vice versa. Just wipe cache, dalvik cache, install zip, fix permissions , reboot.

You probably wanna flash gapps after the nightly, as well...or you won't have much fun.

+1 to this. You wont lose any of your installed apps or settings this way. If you've edited your build.prop file for Netflix then you'll have to do that after flashing a new nightly. And if you are using a custom kernel then you'll have to re-flash that after each new nightly.
between google backup and titanium i have pretty much everything restored in 10 minutes
what about using ROM manager?
All good ways, but I agree with the not doing a full wipe. But if you want to full wipe before each nightly another quick way to restore your apps is Android Commander, a pc program. Also, you do not have to do this:

How?
I have to wait for market to download every app (including titanium). I can't figure out how to get titanium running without waiting for it to get downloaded from market in some random order.
Thanks.
ICBINB Froyo ROM, drhionk's Bali kernel with CWM. I'm getting a ton of force closes, and especially random reboots. Seems to happen mostly with GoSMS Pro and Boat Browser Mini. Possibly unrelated, but today I was unable to pull down my notifications bar for some reason.
What other info do you need about my setup to help me out? Would going into recovery and fixing permissions help?
That's always my first attempt at fixing issues. I boot to cwm and clear caches and fix permissions. It often helps.

Cool, I'll give it a shot and report back.
Gonna give it some time to cook up and see if anything sets it off like it has been.. now, does clearing the cache delete any of my SMS or anything? Or does it just shake off the proverbial dust on the system accumulated by apps having been open?

You can also clear cache data from each application giving you problems in your settings. If you do clear your dalvik cache let your device sit for at least 10 min after you reboot.

So the cache data is just temporary files and stuff? I'm always wary that I'll accidentally delete my settings or custom profiles or anything.
So if I clear my cache on GoSMS, nothing will happen to all my profiles, etc?

Nope, cache and data are completely different. Cache files are mostly temporary, data are your permanent files.

This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.
Changes Made:
Replaced Trebuchet launcher with Nova launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Replaced the default kernel with the kernel from CM10.1 Stable by verygreen.
Added BeatsAudio+xLoud+ClearAudio for audio effects and ViPER4Android for the sound engine. Settings I am using.
Added Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for improved video processing.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking. If you are having issues with adblocking see attachments to remove it.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother. To help improve performance even further see this post.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I would run this as soon as the ROM is setup..
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
V4A XHiFi may do a hot reboot when first getting root, same with Root Browser. This will only happen once and will work fine afterwards. This is only normally an issue if you try getting ROOT on first boot. On the second reboot this doesn't happen.
Wifi will turn off then back on while it is setting up wl1271-nvs.bin. Once the file is created Wifi shouldn't disconnect.
Any more issues please report them.

If you would like to use the WALKMAN app from the Sony Xperia Z Ultra you can do so by flashing this: Xperia-Ultra_WALKMAN_SemcMusic.zip. Make sure you boot into the ROM before flashing. If you flash this without booting into the ROM first it will not work.
Most of the features in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WALKMAN are working but "Music Unlimited" service isn't.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
Do we use the gapps from the original carbon threads?
And how do you flash the scrips? Just like any other zip file? Can it be done when installing this ROM ?

I just added the scripts as a separate download so other devs can take a look at them without downloading the whole ROM. All the scripts are included in the ROM. Everything you need is built into the ROM. Just download it and install.

I installed on top of Carbon B9 without wiping anything and everything was forceclosing.Then I wiped cache partiion and Dalvick cache and reinstalled ,it was usable thistime but several apps still forceclosing including Chrome,I went back to Carbon.

If you did not install with full wipe I am note sure it is fair to mark it as unstable. Did you even attempt to clear the app data for the apps foreclosing?
have not tried this yet but just thought labeling the effort as unstable prior to proper install is not fair.

Just installed with full wipe restoring apps and data from TB. So far everything is ok.
Feels slightly less laggy than B9.
Dunno about battery life yet.
This is working great for me.
I did a dirty flash over RootBox and it's really nice.
Been the best rom for me on my Nook so far. Pinguy1982, please keep the thread updated mate.
Only issue I had was my usual
Android.process.acore has stopped
Which I resolved by following the text below. (cribbed from somewhere on the net)
If you go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ then choose the All tab. Scroll down to Contacts open it and clear the data cache. Now do the same again but this time open Contact Storage and also clear the data cache. This issue is related to an Android bug and affects many devices. It's related to apps that use the sync function.
Works for me.
Cheers all

I agree completely and would urge the poster to revise his comment or certainly remove the subject. Way too hasty and unfair to make such a quick judgment certainly in the absence of a full or data wipe.

Sorry if I offended you.My understanding is that you wipe data only if you are installing in place of different ROM.It was carbon on top of Carbonand I did not feel I needed to wipe data partition.

Dude it's all cool. But I have changed a fair bit to the ROM so just installing over it probably won't work. I have made drastic changes to how dalvik works so using pre-installed apps from a previous install probably won't work.

Apps no, dalvik cache maybe. Restoring apps settings and the apps won't be a problem, but using the dalvik cache might be.
The cache is in /data/dalvik-cache. Using that maybe an issue.

thanks.I always clear out dalvik cache anyway when I try new stuff. I was thinking of trying it. the new build of cm 10.1 seems to match up with my tablet perfectly so we will see. thanks for the ROM. the more the better

Just flashed a couple of hours ago and seems pretty rad so far. I'll give it some time to "settle" before passing judgement. Definitely like the idea!
Good to see more options around here. My hat goes off to all devs.

Battery drain so far seems to be no worse than B9 for me.
Definitely like this ROM, it is faster and smoother than any other I tried for my Nook, seems quite stable as well (no random reboots etc.)
Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?
have u flashed Gapps?
Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!
I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.
Are you using amplify?
No, I didn't use that.
Since yesterday my Facebook messenger app stopped working.
The chats are not loaded anymore, showing a white screen. Previously it worked fine without any issues in the app.
Tried to re-install the app, cleared data and cache. Even cleared all cache and dalvik cache.
Running CyanogenOS 13 6.0.1 Latest official OPO build.
Anyone ever experienced this error? And know how to resolve it?

Well i tried to disable AdAway blocking but that doesn't help either. I'm considering to perform a factory reset.. However its still a lot of work (restoring all data again..) so i don't want to but i think i don't have a choice.
Do you know if there is a way to preserve the creation dates on Android? For files and folders. Previously i zipped all my data but that took hours and resulted in a corrupt zip. I can't keep my data when performing a factory reset i suppose?
Instead of factory reset, can you try a dirtyflash of the ROM you are currently using? That will keep all your data.
