[Q] Updating OmniROM 4.4 daily on a device

Hi Everyone -
First off, let me apologize in advance for asking this question as I imagine it has been asked dozens of times previously.
I recently installed a custom ROM (OmniROM 4.4 'KitKat') on my Galaxy Note 2. I backed everything up, rooted it, installed recovery, etc. and then installed the nightly build of the ROM at that time.
The ROM is currently undergoing heavy development/nightly builds and I'd like to update from time to time.
Here's my question: do I need to wipe the device completely every time to UPGRADE the same ROM to a newer build? installing the ROM is straightforward enough, it's reinstalling all the apps, reconnecting email, etc. that's a PITA if I were to do this several times per week.
Can someone let me know what the process is for upgrading? Or point me to a link!
Thanks a ton in advance!
B

Hi, I've updated ist daily in the last 5 days. I just checked for updates in the phone settings and the phone (GT.I9100G) does everything automatically. All my apps and data are still there after an update. Nothing was deleted.

GPS?
Does the gps work on this rom?

gapps info
MC, could you provide a link to dhackers29 gapps and a little more info on deleting unwanted stuff from zip? This d2 is my DD, so I need my ducks in a row when I flash. Thanks.
Also, please reconsider this q&a bs. It's really just counter productive--that is, if you or anyone else ever even sees it.
BTW, downloaded 4/10 build with dolphin mini and it saved correctly as a zip.

It's working fine for me. Previously I couldn't get GPS locks on any AOSP ROM, but before switching to these builds from KitKat I flashed to Alliance ROM (stock-based TouchWiz - this is important) and got a GPS lock there. After a wipe I flashed the 4/6 build and GPS still worked.

Cool! Thank you for the tip.

Load rom from phone after wipe
Pardon my ignorance, but if i copy a rom and gapps to my phone and then do a full wipe, won't that wipe out the rom and gapps files? Is it stored in 2 different partitions, or do I put it on an external SD? I have TWRP 2.8.5, cm-12.1-20150407-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw and gapps-L-4-15-15. Currently running cm11x.
1) Make sure you're on the latest TWRP
2) Download gapps from euroskank's site
3) Full wipe, flash ROM and gapps

Advice on which version is consider to be a Stable Daily Driver
Hello everyone I'm currently using version date 4/7 however I'm having problems with Bluetooth when playing music and battery life is horrible. I'm going to try and go with 4/10 which from what I read seems to be very stable and great battery life. I simply want a good daily driver. Has anyone perform a dirty upgrade to a newer version successfully without issues. I want to perform this since it is quicker and I won't have to re-add my email exchange accounts again. How is the latest version 4/15?
Please advise,

MMS and bluetooth audio (music) not working.
I'm using the lastest build 4/15 with 4/15 gapps which is running great. The only 2 problems i'm seeing is not being able to receive and send MMS and blue tooth audio isn't working properly. Are these know issues? Thank you guys for all the work that you have been doing thus far. My phone is like new again!!!

agree textra as alternative msg app
Been using textra for about a year and like it better than stock and other apps. Would use it even if stock worked.

need to cut invisi-k a break
That's rough indeed. I for one would be fine with him doing weeklies, instead of nightlies, so dude can have time to live and work.

Latest Gaps 4/18 installation procedure.
Can I dirty install the latest gaps over our current installation or do I need to perform and clean installation of both zip files with the latest gaps? I'm currently running zips 4/15 with 4/15 gaps. Therefore can I just in recovery mode installed 4/18 gaps over the 4/15 gaps successfully without issues? Has anyone seen a big difference in the 4/18 gaps opposed to the 4/15?
Thank you,

I don't think there would be any true difference between the two gapps. I don't really see a need to update the gapps unless your updating to a newer android version. I know android 5.1.1 was released recently but I doubt the S3 could even run this version

Has anyone tested Bluetooth (Audio) and being able to send and receive MMS? Is that working successfully on the 4/19 build?

4/22 wont boot for me!!! (Beware)
Just a heads up I just tried to install zip file 4/22 and my phone wont boot therefore I had to restore back to 4/21. I performed a full wipe before trying to install 4/22 however no luck. Yes MMS are now working on 4/21 !!!
Thanks for all the great work,

I recently flashed this on my Verizon S3, however it seems that it has borked my SMS, possibly MMS (tested much less). I cannot send/receive SMS messages whatsoever. I have tried to manually set my SMSC, and have updated to the newest modem. Any ideas why this could be happening and how to fix it?

dirty flash 4/22?
anyone tried a dirty flash (I'm lazy) over 4/7? I'm stuck on "Android is starting.... starting apps". Never could get 4/15 to work. Tried dirty, clean, gapps, no gapps. Guess I'll give this an hour and then try a clean flash.

I cleaned flashed 4/22 and my phone would not boot therefore I flashed 4/21 which is working well for me.
Good luck,

Bluetooth Audio not working using 4/21 build however I know they will get this figured out soon.
Thanks for all the great work thus far!!!

Tried the 4/22 release and phone would not boot up. I got no boot animation, but eventually the Updating apps showed up. Got to the starting apps screen and after 35 minutes, nothing changed.
This was on a dirty flash. So I wiped everything and started from scratch and had the same problems. Back to 4/15 for now for me.

[ROM] Mokee 5.1.1 STABLE (Daily Driver)

First Thing First : I'm not the developer of this ROM. Just Sharing "MY" experience
It's been a long time Mokee builds are available for Mi 4i. I've been using it since 2nd last build (more than 10 days) and currently on latest built i.e. 25th Jan 2016. And I can say that it's Stable.
What's Working :
Everything, except volume rocker keys on earphone.
Highlights:
DT2W
D2TS
Ambient Display
Not even a single FCs or Reboot since installation (more than 10 days now)
CoC is working fine
FB is working fine
More than 24 hours backup (With normal use, NO intensive gaming and ~4 hours SOT)
Installation Instruction (Which I followed, You can go with normal way):
1. Flash MIUI ROM 5.6.11 (I tried to install on 7.1.1, it keep on rebooting. Tried everything, but no luck)
2. Flash TWRP as permanent Recovery
3. Root using SuperSU
4. Wipe everything (but ROM & Gapps Folders)
5. Flash ROM
6. Reboot to System (No need to set-up anything, just do next next)
7. Go to Recovery, Flash Gapps
8. Reboot to system (Again no need to set-up anything, just do next next)
9. Factory Reset (From settings, NOT from recovery)
10. Set-up now
11. Enjoy and All the Best
I know it's painful the way I set-up ROM, but yes I'm not facing any problem at all (Fingers-crossed ). We three colleagues are using it. So it's tested now (you can say)
I've only one phone and I'm using it as a daily driver.
Downloads:
ROM
Gapps : pico version

Enjoy the New ROM guys

You are very much correct my friend, but again it's a very good alternative for :
1. Those who don't wanna be on MIUI.
2. Struggling to find a CM daily driver.
//TM

good to know. I couldn't take the constant reboot from Remix ROM. Just installed Mokee yesterday. So far so good. Keep my fingers crossed.

getting very high wakelock on *alarms* on any mokee rom

Yeah this is the most stable custom rom for mi4i ...
- official
- update OTA almost every week ..

Can anyone verify if fast dormancy is present in the rom? either through wakelocks or logcat(it should say fast dormancy service or otherwise)

Try a different GAPPS package, maybe a larger one. Just to see. For one, some people complained of missing features like notification bar pulldown with the very smallest GAPPS package. Now this isn't a reason it shouldn't install, but try a different package to see if it make a difference in completing the installation.

Same thing here, using a 2014811 (Wt88047, Redmi 2 WCDMA).
Tried ""nightly" 20160512, 20160517 and 20160519. Did the usual Wipes, tried also with no wifi and no SIM card.
Nothing seems to help, I am stuck at "Just a Sec..."
The SKIP option does not work.
The back button works and let me get back until the Language selector.

First, restore your backup. You did make a backup, right?
Then re-flash after you download a different GAPPs package. Some say Open Gapps works great for them, while others say Slim GAPPS is best. We don't know why some don't work for some people but work for others.
If that doesn't fix your issue, then try this:
Download the unofficial CM13 found here in this forum and try it.
Also, download Resurrection Remix (Marshmallow) and try it.
Both are variants of CM13 anyways. Just trying to see if something is wrong with your phone and you can't flash any ROM whatsoever or if it's something your phone doesn't like about official CM13.
The unofficial CM13 is CM13 with just a few of the Resurrection Remix tweaks thrown in, like permissions to download Moto apps from the Google Store, etc. It's 90% CM13, 10% RR.
If none of those CM13 variants work, you can alway try AOSP Mokee (Marshmallow).
IF NONE of those work, either your phone is severely messed up or you are doing something wrong.

Right. This one installed without any problems.
Still, I would like to be able to install the "official" one.
I wonder, what may be the bug in that keeps it "freezing" at the "Just a Sec..." message.

I don't know. Not everything with our phones is completely logical. Occasionally more of an art than science. Same reason one GAPPs package works well for someone but won't install for another person. Open GAPPS vs Slim Gapps.
Here's a personal example... My wife and I both have XT1225 with CM12.1 and yet hers can't run BHB27 kernel. Occasionally I'll get it to install, and run OK for a day or two but then next time I reboot it it does endless bootloops. I even tried different governors and I/O schedulers. Nada.
Mine is a Puerto Rico (unlocked Claro) XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Her's is a Mexico direct-from-China-Motorola factory XT1225 I flashed to India 5.0.2 before flashing to CM.
Later I flashed Puerto Rico XT1225 radio over both.
There's just some difference there in her XT1225 which does not like BHB27 kernel.
Maybe if I did an exhaustive formatting of the entire internal memory and reinstallation of everything on her phone, it would work. But instead I take the easy way out and she's just running CM12.1 with default CM kernel, and that's running well. So, I go with what works.

I don't even think you are using this phone, to be honest. So, why did you post here? You posted same thing in another thread, for ANOTHER PHONE, not even related to Quark.
You seem to be using this phone: Xiaomi Redmi 2 -- since all your other posts before this and after this are over there.

Each time, my synchronization with google don't work, ang playstore always crash.
Anyone have the secret ?

Use AOSP android 8, since the development is a bit further and more stable than LineageOS 15 at the moment

Official open gapps is already available and working very fine. Download the package from below link

I personally prefer nano package
