Hey all

Jdelano started this for CM9 for the OG Epic; it seemed to workout well there. So I figure since CM10 has dropped. Lets get the ball rolling and compile a pseudo FAQ / Support thread to keep the development thread as clean as we can.

I'll scan the CM10 threads and attempt to complile a conprehensive list of problems and their solutions here in a formatted (hopefully) easy to read/find way.

Please feel free to assist in answering questions or letting me know where something new has popped up.

Thanks!!!

FAQ:

Q:Where is the Sprint CM10 Development Thread?
A: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778266

Q: What version is CM10 currently at?
A: CM10 was just a preview build until the 8/15 release, after which it moved to nightly stage. The Nightly builds can be found HERE. Changelogs for nightly builds is found HERE

****DISCLAIMER**** Nightly builds are the time when many new features are being merged and removed on a regular basis. They are automatically built each evening (most of the time) and therefore aren't tested like the previews were prior to nightly status. Therefore, things are very likely going to get broken from build to build...luckily they often times are fixed within a build or two, but it's up to your tolerance of such activity to determine how you prepare for a new flash. PLEASE ACT ACCORDINGLY. Yes, most of the time you may get away with wiping only cache & dalvic cache before flashing Nightly Rom & GApps zips - but please, make a Nandroid backup just in case. If you really want the features a new nightly offers but a "dirty" flash is causing problems, simply restore your Nandroid and do a clean install for maximum effectiveness.

Also on the list is to build our own audio driver based on the reference code like we did for the 8660 platform- that will solve all the audio issues properly."

Q: Is there anything I can do about my phone rebooting on its own?
A: The problem has been decreasing to next-to-nothing...but in case you're still having issues - check out the post by EndlessDissent

Q: Suddenly I have missing pictures using the stock gallery app, but apps like QuickPic see them fine. How can I fix that?
A: zanderman112 posted this; which says it may have to do with ROM Manager.
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
NOTE: you will still have to remove .nomedia files from the folders with media that you want the media scanner to find.

So far, this seems more stable than the CM9 nightlies. So far, the only bugs I've encountered involves some of the already known issues including camera problems and losing root access (reflashing root from recovery worked), and when selecting notification/ringer sounds the sound preview doesn't seem to play (yes, I checked it wasn't on vibrate).

Overall, I am very impressed for such an early build. Will be my daily driver. Excited to start seeing the CM customizations merged.

I cannot get my headphone jack to work with this ROM. Also the camera doesn't work for me if I try to only take a picture. It is completely capable of recording video and taking pictures while recording video.

thanks for posting; as I make my way around the forums and speak to the devs I'll see what I can find for you.
These things will be fixed some time early in the beta phase; I am sure (going by what I saw in the CM9 developement)

Of course my comments are my opinion and have no actual baring on the development time of CM10 :)

I haven't seen these issues reported over in the development thread, you may want to wipe everything and reflash and be sure to not restore any data (if you did) and see how things go.

Tried flashing several times, same issues appeared every time.

Followed standard flashing procedures. Wiped user data, cache partition, and davlik cache. The last time I flashed I also formatted system.

In the newest release the option for quick pin unlock is there, but doesn't work. And opening settings -> interface -> system crashes.

    As requested by the OP, Jdelano, I am closing this thread unless someone wants to take it over.
    I can reassign the OP to someone as long as they have a post somewhere older than July 17th.
    This would require updating the OP with current changes and answering questions or guiding users to the right place to look.
    If someone would like this spot please PM me.
    In the meantime join me in wishing my friend Jon, a speedy recovery
    Thanks for everything Jon!

    Hello all! I have taken over upkeep of this thread - please keep Jdelano, the original OP, in your thoughts & prayers for a speedy recovery from a health situation. I look forward to helping keep everybody up to date on what's going on with CM10. Thanks Kennyglass & Jdelano for their work thus far in this and other threads.

    EDIT: if you look over at the ATT&T build; they lost tethering as well, so I am guessing it is an upstream issue
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29538143

    Nope. I just tethered the newest CM build to my TF300. It worked perfectly. I used the native tether, fwiw.
