Not sure if any of you with the Canadian variant has had any trouble installing this, but I get an error while flashing and it seems to point out that it refuses to install unless the ro.product line in build.prop states "d2att" As far as the Telus variant goes, mine says "d2vl", anyway to bypass this without editing the build.prop? or maybe remove that portion where it checks the build.prop? Please and thanks

If I want to go from CM9 to CM10 do I need to wipe my data? I did a quick search but did not find anything in this thread. Now if I want to go back to CM9 I can do a nandroid backup (before going to CM10) and then use my Titanium backup to make sure everything is there, is this correct?

People do A LOT of different things. I don't know if you're "suppose to". But if I were doing it, I'd nandroid CM9, back up with Titanium(I save all my backups on my ext_sd), wipe data, and install CM10

So two questions. How do I use the themer? Is there somewhere to go download themes or is this really for people who can theme things themselves? Also, any word on if music over Bluetooth has been fixed yet?

Quick report. Can anyone else confirm?

Audio does not play while in MX player. Audio is pretty low when it comes to everything but notifications and ringtones. YouTube videos show a short flash when rotating.

Are any of you guys experiencing delay in the phone waking up? I press the power button and half second goes by before the screen comes on. It's very annoying. I'm running the packaged kernel and no custom CPU settings. I've had this issue in both CM10 and AOKP Jellybean though no such issues in AOKP ICS:eek:

Yeah, same here. It's not bothersome. At least it's not lag ;)

darn it. I was hoping it was an isolated case and I can just do a full wipe and fix it. I was just doing a nandroid and getting really to wipe. I'm surprise that a lot more people aren't complaining in the dev threads. I searched in both AOKP and CM10 threads and didn't see anyone mentioning this.

My guess is it'll be something worked out in future rev's. I imagine they are working on basic functionality now, and fine tuning later. I think Cyanogen said that he is using a new kernel, it might take some tweaking down the road too

All a guess on my part

Could someone verify for me whether or not CM's Quiet Hours have been implemented yet in this ROM? Pretty important that my flash addiction lets me sleep while I'm not flashing.

There it is :)

Does anyone know whether if is better to have "force GPU rendering" on or off? I am running the latest version of this ROM and it is so smooth and fast that I don't know if it would make a difference.

It's known to cause problems on pretty much every ROM (at least from what I've heard). You can always try it, and then log cat it if there's an issue.

Anyone else experiencing these problems? I went back to a stock rooted rom before flashing the new 7/27. I did a complete wipe of the phone as well. I mean COMPLETE! figured it would have less issue's lol..

1. I've noticed a decent amount of lag when the phone is sleeping and I wake it up. It takes about 2 seconds for it to wake up, regardless if its been just locked or sitting for 10 minutes.

2. If I set a PW for my lock screen it directly wakes up to the PW screen. Even if I set it to show widgets first. I use my lock screen shortcut's. I tried widget locker, but it gets overtaken by the stock lock PW screen every time. Regardless of widget lockers settings.

3. Flash player doesn't seem to be working on the 7/27 build. I installed the same apk I had from the last builds which worked fine on those with the stock browser. I'm still using the stock browser, but now it'll just freeze then FC when trying to watch flash related video's.

4. I know I mentioned this one a few pages back, but I figured I'd just make a compilation of bugs I experience here. The camera doesn't focus at all. It just stays blurry. I tried Camera ICS+. That focused perfect, but it kept FCing.

That's pretty much it for me lol Thanks for the amazing rom brotha!

Ok, I'll do my best here:
1. I did the same procedure you did, and I'm afraid I don't see any lag like that
2. Haven't tried this yet.....
3. Nor this one....
4. I had the same issue, but I cleared data on the camera, and rebooted. No more fc

    An amateur FAQ

    I have consolidated some information regarding frequent issues with the most recent nightly releases. Hopefully someone finds this useful, since I've dealt with most of them myself and I see someone ask about these things daily. If any of the info here is wrong or misleading please don't hesitate to correct me (just kidding, I know you won't) ;)

    GPS
    • When the option was added to use an external GPS it broke the default source to be undefined. Go to "System Settings->Location Services->GPS Source" and make sure "Use Internal GPS" is selected.
    • Some other update changed something with the permissions of the location services settings. Go to "System Settings->Location Services" and uncheck and recheck all the options to force it to ask for the proper permissions again.

    4G LTE/Wireless Data
    • Make sure you are aware of the difference between the service providers' terminology and the "real"/CM terminology (AT&T 4G is actually HSPA+, AT&T 4G LTE is actually 4G).
    • Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks" and make sure LTE is selected under Network Mode.
    • Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names" and verify versus known good LTE APN settings. Currently Rogers LTE APN is missing or incorrect. You will have to enter it manually or wait for the proper defaults to be merged.
    • You may have lost your IMEI. Check "System Settings->About Phone->Status". If your IMEI shows 0 you may have to follow the instructions in the IMEI recovery thread. After restoring your IMEI you may still need to do additional steps to restore LTE. To avoid this headache back up your IMEI before you lose it using the above thread. Make sure you try just rebooting first to see if that fixes the missing IMEI.
    • ** Seems to be fixed on 09/12 ** Currently you need to reboot after installing for the first time or upgrading to a new nightly in order to get any data signal.

    Wi-Fi
    • Some people report problems with Wi-Fi signal or connection. Try going to "System Settings->Wi-Fi->Menu/Advanced" and un-check "Avoid Poor Connections".

    Volume/Sound Problems
    • Audio drivers are currently a work-in-progress. Updates are still coming all the time.
    • If you have no sound try turning the volume all the way down then up again for alarms, calls, notification, etc.
    • Try re-selecting your ring tones in the app or clearing cache and/or data for that app.
    • Call volume is known to be a bit loud now. Try pulling the phone away from your face during the call so that the screen turns on and turn up/down the volume.
    • There seems to be an issue with Google Now voice recognition mic volume. Try talking into the noise cancellation mic (top).
    • If your phone is not speaking Google Now results or street names in Navigation properly make sure you are using English (US) in the language settings (other languages/nationalities are currently not supported).

    Camera/Gallery
    • There is currently no option to store to external SD (yet).
    • The built in gallery does not sync to Picasa. This is a known bug.
    • **Reverted and reportedly fixed in 9/10** Swipe to gallery feature was "broken" by the addition of pinch to zoom. To get it to work swipe outside of image and buttons (in the grey area).

    Battery Life
    • Battery calibration is wiped after first installing or upgrading. Wait a full cycle before trusting percent reported.
    • Install BBS to track alarms and wake locks.
    • Battery use after clearing caches after upgrading is high. Wait til it is finished rebuilding before gauging drain.
    • Other kernels give more control over battery and performance. You can try those but don't report any other bugs here if you do.

    Screen Flicker
    • Has improved recently but can be seen occasionally, particularly with 3rd party keyboards or graphics intensive apps.
    • Going to "System Settings->Developer Options" and choosing "Disable HW Overlays" fixes the flicker at the expense of performance.

    USB Storage
    • There is no UMS (Generic USB Mass Storage) mode by default on our phones. You may need to install MTP drivers or a different OS that supports it. There are apps that allow UMS access but there are drawbacks.
    • If you followed any of the procedures in the IMEI thread and did not properly revert to MTP mode you may need to do so before being able to access your storage via USB.

    Home button wake
    • Going to System "Settings->Performance->Processor" and increasing the minimum CPU frequency from 384 to 486 is reported to fix it.

    64GB+ SD Cards
    • CM will not directly support the exFAT format due to licensing restrictions
    • You can format as FAT32 (with the restriction of not being able to have files over 4GB each)
    • Not sure if it is supported at the moment, but in the future you should be able to format as ext (fixes the 4GB file problem, but makes the card unreadable by Windows without special tools)

    Anything gapps related involving non-recommended gapps
    • For example problems with text messaging when using inverted gapps
    • Use recommended gapps.

    Anything system related involving non-CM kernels
    • Use the default kernel.

    Installing/Upgrading
    When updating from Nightlies MAKE SURE you are downloading the CM10 zip file. The CM9 weekly files show up in the same list.

    The M flagged zip files are the same as every other nightly, except care is taken in the days/week before releasing the M edition to not introduce any new features into Nightlies that might break the system. This means that if you flash only the M files you are less likely to run into "show-stopping" bugs. After the M edition is released developers will continue adding new features to the Nightlies that may or may not result in instability.

    The recommended nightly upgrade procedure should be:
    • Backup/Nandroid
    • Format "/system" (under Mounts and Storage)
    • Wipe cache
    • Wipe Dalvik cache (under Advanced)
    • Install Nightly ROM zip
    • Install gapps zip
    • Reboot System

    You may be able to get away with only:
    • Backup/Nandroid (not technically required, but you're a crazy-pants if you don't)
    • Wipe cache
    • Wipe Dalvik cache (under Advanced)
    • Install Nightly Rom zip
    • Reboot System

    Apps Force Closing/Other Strange Behaviour That Other People Are Not Reporting
    • Try running Fix Permissions from recovery
    • After backing up, try a Factory Reset combined with the above flashing steps to see if the error occurs on a clean system (Factory Reset does not wipe/format your SD card(s), only erases all apps and app/system data)

    Hi all,

    For those of who on Rogers Wireless and having problem on WiFi tethering under LTE network on their CM 10.2, here is the solution I found on CM forum. Credit goes to op of http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/76413-wifi-tethering-and-cm-102-issues/.

    I tested it on my Rogers rooted SGS3 with the latest NIGHTLY "10/04" and working well to share WiFi under LTE network to my TouchPad!!!

    Cheers!

    It will continue to write to the file as long as terminal is open and when you experience the bug, it will catch it. When you reboot you should have a nice text file for uploading to the thread

    *** If you are getting errors playing Media Files or are seeing multiples of the same image or Grey items. This is "Ghosting", for some reason(what/why this is is unknown to me). The Fix:
    Go to Settings/Apps/All/scroll down to Media Storage, and Clear Data. Reboot, and Scan your media again. Depending how much you have will determine how long it takes. This will happen again when rebooting, maybe not the first or second reboot, but it'll happen again
