[CM ROM [hlte/universal] OFFICIAL CyanogenMod Builds (Nightlies)

New thread for CyanogenMod builds (currently nightlies) for hlte devices. Previously, Note 3 (qualcomm devices) builds were separate, but now they are unified. So, hltespr, hltetmo, hltevzw, htlexx are now all in one build: hlte.
Download page can be found here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte.
FAQs (please read before asking any questions):
AlecRobertson said:
Does this build work on the 4.4 bootloader? Yes! It works on the 4.4.2 NA6/NA7/NB3 bootloaders.
Is this build stable? No. There will be issues (see known issues below)
Where can I get the latest recovery that is compatible with this ROM? http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963. You can also use the latest version of TWRP.
Can I update OTA from an hltexx, etc. build to an hlte build? No.
Is there any advantage to upgrading to the 4.4 bootloader? No, not really, unless you call not being able to downgrade an advantage .
Can I downgrade from a 4.4 bootloader to a 4.3 bootloader. No (you can thank Samsung for that)! The only exception to this is if you have a Canadian variant of the Note 3. Then, you can downgrade
Can I install this on an Eyxnos device? No!
Which GApps should I use? I would recommend the Paranoid Android GApps. You can them from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942. If you want the Nexus experience, get the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE.

I know, today's changelog is not very useful. But "Tomorrow is another day"

Seems like date and time doesn't work on the 18/02/14 build except when synced with carrier, but it will lose the time data again after reboot.

Success on Rogers SM-N900W8 ...
Well, I took the plunge … once again … with surprising success.
Installation was quite simple on my Rogers (Canadian) SM-N900W8, so I would imagine that all Canadian variants will provide similar results.
Prior to installing the 20140218 unified (hlte) version of CM, I had stock Touchwiz installed, with TWRP 2.6.3.7 as my recovery.
I first performed a Nandroid (always suggested), and then simply flashed both CM and GAPPS through TWRP. Yes, you read the previous sentence correctly. I flashed right from my existing TWRP recovery.
Prior to flashing, I wiped System, Data, Dalvik and Cache, which I did twice (moderate OCD here); however, I did NOT touch Internal Storage.
So far, so good. The device booted very quickly, much more quickly than usual. I then entered all the initial set-up information, and arrived, quite smoothly, at the initial home screen. I then went into Settings and set-up virtually everything.
As I said above, so far, so good. Wifi works very well. LTE works, although, I had to manually go into the APN settings and select the pre-configured Rogers LTE APN. It took a few minutes, but LTE finally popped-up on the Notification Bar.
So, that's it. I'm now installing all my apps. I'll let you know how everything goes once they are all installed (about 100).
Good luck everyone.

Hey op just some advice. The main user page should be in general section for everyday talk of the builds.
The dev section should be problem solving and log cats.
Are you the maintainer as per cm or just another user making another thread here??
dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!

Can anybody tell me if this build will appear as an update to those of us already running CM11 for hltexx? Currently no Stable or Nightly update is showing since the 20140130-NIGHTLY-hltexx build.

I don't think so, as you've got an hltexx build, whereas this is an hlte build. I'll add this to the FAQ.

Thanks. The blog post earlier (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/unified-builds) mentioned they would add server-side checks to present the unified build via CM Updater, but I wasn't sure if that really meant upgrading from hltexx to hlte unified builds.

I'd always do a clean install by downloading it on your PC and clean flashing it anyway. I know it's a pain, but you'll get far less issues like this.

Agreed. I've been flashing for two years and I've never done a dirty flash. One less thing to troubleshoot if there's a problem.

Does anybody know of any big benefits to having the KK bootloader over the JB one? I'm on the JB bootloader but can upgrade to the KK one (I think?) by flashing the SM-N900W8 KitKat leak.

The KK bootloader doesn't offer any benefit/new feature over the JB one, SS just changed it to give us a hard time with custom ROMs and prevent us from downgrading. All the bootloader does is to allow the device to... boot (!)

I like this new version, I haven't gotten the black screen of death yet, and things seem to run smoother (probably placebo), and the battery seems better

Help backing up, rooting, installing custom ROM, and gapps.

Hi guys,
I recently purchased the Google Nexus 5. I had it rooted and a custom ROM installed for like $35 by oneclickroot. However, I ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it and when I peeled off the plastic they use for shipping the phone the phone had tiny little chips in the screen. Therefore, I contacted Google for a replacement. I now have the replacement and I would like to backup the stock image, apps, settings, etc. Then, root the phone, and install a custom ROM and gapps. When trying to return my damaged Nexus 5 to stock for sending it back I stumbled on the Nexus Root Toolkit which I used to flash the stock image back, and lock the bootloader again. Therefore, I will be using the Nexus Root Toolkit for the actual rooting process. Could you guys tell me what I would need to backup my stock ROM? Will using the backup button in the Nexus Root Toolkit backup my ROM, apps, and settings? If I was using a custom ROM and was rooted and restored the backup would it unroot my phone and put it all the way back to stock? I would like to flash Cyanogen Mod again. I have downloaded the hammerhead nightly build of Cyano Mod. Could someone tell where to get the proper apps version? I am confused on the whole gapps thing. For gapps is there one specific one I should be using for my phone, or will I need a different gapps version depending on the custom ROM?
Thanks,
Rocky

Don't know,I don't use tools kits. But I'd make a nandroid in a custom recovery then copy pics, music,etc to my pc. Don't backup your efs in the nandroid though

Don't use the toolkit. rooting is simple enough anyway and it really benefits you to know what you're doing.

Lets just talk about a basic AOSP / CM rom. As long as you have the latest gapps package for the version of android you are on, you're fine. You'd use the same one whether you're on AOSP, CM, Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 etc etc,,, as long as its the version for Android 4.4.2
Some ROMs such as Paranoid Andrid and SlimKat may have their own gapps packages. The norml gapps will work, but the special ones for slimkat my have more features for that rom built in,

Gapps will always be the same if the rom requires gapps. There are a few different gapps packages out there which contain everything from a minimum, banks comes to mind, to a full gapps package. But they are not rom specific

Thanks again fellas. I am looking up gapps now. I have 4.4.2 on my phone now. I have found a few different version and newer and older releases of gapps. For example goo.im gapps has this one gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and on the paranoid android website it has this one as the latest one pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140531-signed.zip. So if I want to install anything other than Paranoid Android I could use the first gapps I linked too and if I want to use Paranoid Android I should use the second I linked too from there page? I am almost positive when oneclickroot flashed my phone they used the first one but they flashed Carbon. Can I make nandroid backups without rooting? I want to make a backup that will take me completely back to stock for warranty purposes in case I ever have to return the phone like I did my first one. Therefore, if root is needed that won't work because it would be backing up the rooted stock.

You paid $35 for a custom rom? I've got some magic beans you can have for £100

You can use paranoid android gapps on any ROM. There is nothing specific. Read the gapps thread here on xda to find out which package includes which apps

Yeah its a lesson learned. I had actually rooted my moms ZTE Merit a while back but I though things would of changed by now. I just didn't want to mess up the phone and there was things I didn't know at the time I paid for the rooting. However, I went through the steps to root my new phone yesterday and it was successful and I also got CyanogenMod successfully installed with gapps. I can't believe how damn easy it was. Makes me wish I had my $35 back! Oh well lesson learned I guess.
If I want to return the custom ROM back to a fresh state like you can do with the stock ROM can I just use the backup/reset feature and do a factory reset? I did that yesterday and the phone seams to be okay.

Yes

A factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, it only erases the data partition, so any changes made to the system (i.e. root) will persist after a factory reset.

OTA Update

Hello guys, i rooted my device like 3 months ago and i felt like it really disabled my OTA update. Whenever i checked for such, it always says my system is the latest version. My question is, HOW DO I KNOW IF MY OTA UPDATE IS STILL WORKING OR NOT? I've searched for answers for like days. I think maybe its time to ask for answers here.

if you've just got a rooted stock then when you do ota you lose root access, if you got a custom rom forget about ota altogether, rooted users are supposed to update their firmware/rom manually through custom recovery or flashing software(such as odin) always keep a couple backups around, be it nandroid or titanium bakups, now there are some apps out there that say they'll let you keep root after ota but i do not know how well they work, if you've just got a rooted stock, go back to stock, update to latest version, enable usb debugging, and use kingo on your pc(google it) for hassle free 2 second rooting process that works on just about any android device, and wouldnt take mor ethan 2 seconds to do again if you lose root after OTA next time

well if you just rooted, no custom rom, then the software that handles OTA must still be there, however, depending the method you used, the OTA might not work anymore or even be disabled on purpose so that you do not lose root upon update, simply, backup, flash back to a regular stock, then use kingo, then do an OTA after root to check if it works, then once you're certain your phone works fine and has OTA, restore your apps, data, contacts, and settings from your backup(make sure you backed all those up of course) as well as your sdcard and/or internal memory files, back those up too since depending on what flashing software you use or how you **** up(it's normal we all do it ) you may delete its contents, and there you should have a rooted stock phone that has OTA and you can root back after rly quick and easy.....

i just did this on my new KK g2, already had 4.4.2 on it when i got it friday and i asked this question in another thread, but didnt get a response. so this method of rooting will not keep us from getting future OTAs but will more than likely loose root, is that what you are saying? and that this method may not work on say 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 (which just hit the nexus 5)?

but will more than likely loose root... correct, but there are apk's that can prevent it
and that this method may not work on say 4.4.3 or 4.4.4... correct

Duties otas will probably beak root, yes.. And threes methods may not work.. But, who's saying that 4.4.3 comes to the G2, as it just saw 4.4.2.
4.5 is right around the corner..

Just to confirm i'm understanding this correctly, if i just install these two APKs i'd have root access and a recovery on my phone? I'm currently on Android 4.2.2.
Any reason not to do it in this manner, or a more recommended way of doing it?

Giggity gooooo. Thanks been waiting for something like this! Worked great! Gonna try out the G3 rom soon

I noticed that some of you worry about an update while being rooted. If you are rooted more than likely there will be a rooted version of your rom to flash via recovery. Dont worry about an update as long as you can flash an updated rooted rom.

Do the uploaded stock ROMs still come with all the TMO features? (Wifi Calling, ISIS, etc).

So I read the above thread, for the Nexus 5 and I am honestly confused. How do I flash a stock rom without being rooted in the first place? Don't you have to be rooted to have TWRP installed on your device? Cause I am interested installing Preview 2, fully stocked, but I'm confused how to achieve this, so if someone could share a method on how to do this via a Mac, id appreciate it.

The only thing needed to install another ROM is a custom recovery. Users can flash ROMs as they please without having root. Root is only required initially for most devices to unlock bootloaders or the equivalent, which is only necessary to allow users to install a custom recovery.

Thank you for your reply. If this is a reference to my bad English and miscommunication of specific terms, I'm sorry. If there's more to it, no, my phone is not in English. Why?

Because on previous preview releases changing the phones language has caused things to malfunction/force close. Try set your phone to English (hopefully you understand well enough to navigate the menus) and see if data still closes on you

You'll just have to wait for official release for it fixed (i assume they're not bothered because they're American and only need it working in English to develop it)

It doesn't bother me actually, just I didn't thought that could be an issue keeping my language (for some reasons, I thought that the developer preview came only in English and I was quite surprised when it suggested me Italian after unlocking the SIM).
Thank you again.

Dirty flashing while not clearing caches, or trying to install SuperSU on stock kernel will ends up in a boot loop

You probably wiped your recovery with stock one in fastboot. You can just re-use fastboot to install TWRP over stock.

Android Auto Map Permissions?
There can't be many people on Preview 3 who use Android Auto, but I'll throw it out there...anyone else running into an issue with navigation in Android Auto complaining about location permissions? It suggests granting Maps the location permission, which of course it has. I can navigate fine directly from the Maps app, but in AA I just get the screen with that error.

Anyone else having problems with 6.0.1
I can't get root to work.
I dirty flashed 6.0.1 acoording to instruktions, reboot installs elemental x kernel reboot and tries to install supersu 2.5.2. But it gets stuck att the boot animation.
I tried re flashing 6.0.1 again and install the kernel provided by stephan but twrp can't install the zip, I get a update failed.
Anyone hav any tips on how to root 6.0.1 preferably without wiping the the phone. Should I flash 2.6.2? But the instructions for that means that I need to wipe and reflash?
