[Q] Help flashing from cm10.1.2 to cm11

Hi everyone, please delete if this has been posted elsewhere, I didn't find a similar thread nearby.
I've been happy with cm10.1.2 on my Verizon S3 for a while but am looking to update to cm11 m6. Noticed a couple things and had a few questions if you folks would be kind enough to oblige.
1. Cyanogenmod's built in updater (update types set to "All versions [incl. Nightlies]) only shows me cm10.x stable releases and cm11 nightlies up through february, no cm11 milestones before or since. Is this because of the consolidation of all S3s into the new "d2lte" device category?
2. If so, do I then just update TWRP, download cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-d2lte.zip, and flash away? Is it ok to do a dirty flash from cm10 to cm11 or do I have to do a full wipe (would prefer not to if at all possible)?
Sorry if these are noob questions - I only got into custom roms because I hate Touchwiz *that* much and have only been really learning on an as-needed basis, so I tend to approach new releases with caution. Thanks in advance!

I couldn't tell you why the M6 doesn't show up on the updater (but that's a good idea as to why), but as to the second question.. do a Nandroid backup, then update the TWRP, then wipe, then flash the rom, the gapps then wipe again for fun. Don't do that dirty.. 10.x to 11 would be a bad thing if done without wipe.

Thanks! Everything went off without a hitch.

[Q] is MoKee any good?

Hi there
I will shortly be joining either the custom rom user world or bricked phone world. :silly:
I am absolutely new to the topic and would love some advice from you all.
My phone is stock ICS and I want to switch to a ROM which is very stable and fast.
Earlier i was thinking of going for PA or Cyanogen but neither seem to officially support Motorola Atrix 2. :crying:
MoKee is the only distribution which apparently has official support for my phone.
I was wondering if there is any other ROM which officially supports Atrix 2?
How good is MoKee? Would you recommend this ROM to a newbie? From what i know, Cyanogen seems to be the easiest to install.
Also, can someone list the steps to installing Mokee?
I read the content at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305303
but for a 1st time newb all that seems very intimidating.
thank you
Rishav

All of new ROM's for our Atrix2 are fast and most of them are stable (depends on user )
& Even though CM 11 is not official for our phone, but currently it is the most stable and all bug fixed rom for our A2
(I am not saying Mokee or other ROMs are not stable, but at this stage CM 11 has all bug fixed and I am sure Mokee & other will incorporate it soon :fingers-crossed: )
Also all ROM's have same procedure to install, so all ROM's are easy to install (Thanks to BMM)
You can follow steps in that link or check this video tutorial for using BMM
"Axxiom Kat" also has official support to our device.
It doesn't matters (at least for this device) whether the ROM has official support or not, our device has a team of some Recognized Contributors and A2EPT (Atrix 2 edison porting team) which keep the ROM up to date as like it is an official ROM :victory:
So dont worry flash any ROM you want :highfive:

Thanks Sameer!
Guess CM11 is the best bet for me.
Btw, what is the kernel update?
Would you recommend me to go for a custom kernel now? or is it something i should attempt only when i have the hang of modding?

All rom's have inbuilt custom kernel (kexec kernel), if you wanna try overclocking your device you can use JBX kernel
JBX can be flashed after ROM installtion.
But for a newbie like you dont flash it yet, first try some ROM's; when you get used to it then try JBX.
And if this helps you, dont say thanks press Thanks button below the post !!
And we have separate Q&A section for question and answers
Please dont post questions here in general section

MoKee is bug free and gps works berry good

Mokee is stable and you can try SlimKat as well

Slimkat worked best for me as far as battery life, but cm11 was best overall
atrix 2 cm11

[Q] Need a custom rom suggestion

Im kind of new here, so hi Im looking for a good custom rom to flash on my GTab 2 P3110.
Im planning to use it on my car (already got a mount for it), so I need the rom to have a working gps and have compatibility with Here Maps.
Also, it would be good if it was the latest version (Lollipop), but it can be KitKat for the sake of stability and compatibility!
I had a Nexus 7 with AutoDroid installed, but my small cousin managed to crack the screen
So yeah, that's about it. Hope you guys can help me!

Look in the Development thread for 7" tab 2. Either I've tried SlimLP and CM12.1 on my tablet as far as Lollipop goes. If you want a KitKat ROM, SlimKat is a good choice. Be sure to click thanks on @Android-Andi in the ROM thread if you choose one of those. (Always click thanks on the ROM developers OP in the ROM thread)

I've tried both Lollipop ROMs. SlimLP causes Here to crash rly often (an user also reported that on the thread). So far, CM 12.1 is being stable as I needed. Thanked Andi already, he's an incredible guy! Also, thx for the suggestion, my friend

No problem! I am also running CM12.1 at the moment. Make sure you edit the thread title and add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of it before "[Q]".
Have a great weekend!

About Kernel....

Hello guys,
I try to be fast and clear, I´m on the latest version of BlissPop and I want to try Boeffla Kernel, I need to donwload the kernel from CM12.1 (unofficial builds and based ones) and this link right? http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/bacon/cm12.1/test/ also I´m a bit confussed about what I should download from the link (if it´s the correct link).
Thanks in advance!!!!

This is the right link I think: http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/boeffla-kernel-cm/cm12.1_download/Test/ if your Blisspop is based on cm 12.1 (Android 5.1.1) remember that this kernel Version is just a test version.

Thanks for your fast answer, I read a lot of good things about Boeffla kernel even with test version. I must dig a bit more to ensure that I have the correct link for the download before flash kernal, I come from a brick trying to change bootanimation and I don´t want more troubles
Anyway, thanks again!!

You just have to read carefully if you have the right files, it also helps if you read the last few pages of the thread if there are problems or something

What is the reason for the cyanogenmod 13 not working on the newer build numbers?

Is there any method we can change the build number on the cm13 zip file we download to be able to install it on a newer version?
or is there any method for us to build the cyanogenmod 13 rom on our own(since everything is available)? It should help many people. Also if possible I would like to build an aosp rom for our devices. I have another stupid question, please bear with me. Someone has created the cyanogenmod rom for us and it is official, but they did not make any posts in the xda forums .

Im curious about some of this stuff, too. Especially the reason why you can't flash on the newer firmware, and why no CM thread.

exactly! hope to find out soon.

newer builds have a different bootloader. probably just the guy hasnt noticed because he uses cm13 which doesnt touch the bootloader
