FAQ / Q&A​
Some known problems/bugs & their (hopefully working) workarounds:

Note: before complaining, please try a clean (wipe everything at least 3 times) installation first!
& PLEASE READ AT LEAST THE LAST 5 PAGES OF THIS THREAD!

  1. Wi-Fi is not working:

    • Make sure you flashed the right boot.img with fastboot
    • if your Wi-Fi Channel is higher than 10, try a lower one
    • try changing your wifi country code in Settings / Wifi / Menu / Advance to e.g. Europe or US
  2. App-Switch is no longer "Menu" by default:

    • go to Settings - System - Hardware keys
    • configure it like you want
  3. Do I need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot?:

    • No, if you're using TWRP and are on a Hboot-version lower than 1.13
    • Yes, if you're using any other recovery (like CWM)
    • Yes, if you're using TWRP and your ville has the Hboot-version 1.13 or higher
  4. Phone doesn't boot beyond the CM-Bootanimation:

    • download the boot.img for the build you're running here, or extract it from the .zip you flashed
    • flash the (right!) boot.img in fastboot
    • if you erased/deleted cache in fastboot, go into recovery and erase it again
  5. Notification LED's don't work:

    • go to Settings - Display - Notification Light - Use custom values
    • Set it (green/red) for every app just like you want it to be
  6. App XY doens't work:

    • try clearing cache or/and data
    • try fixing permissions
  7. Massive battery drain & device is getting hot: (should not happen anymore)

    • enable 2G only
    • update to the latest radio, fix permissions and clear the caches
    • try a simple reboot
    • turn off Google Now & location history (you will still get the answercards when using voice search)
    • reboot everytime after you are using camera or gallery
    • turn off/disconnect GPS Services, reboot & keep them unconnected/turned off (thanks to djsubtronic)
    • [advanced: deactivate gallery & try e.g. Quickpic & ICS Camera (don't forget to reboot after using camera)]
    • turn off WiFi if you don't need it and you're not connected
    • adjust the screen-off time & the brightness
    • recalibrate battery
  8. "SIM Network Unlock PIN" gets asked for: (should not happen anymore)

    • just hit "Dismiss"
  9. only a handful of ringtones are shown: (should not happen anymore)

    • download the app zedge
    • download & set the ringtones you like just as you like
  10. Sound/Music/whatever only plays through the speakers: (should not happen anymore)

Please tell me what to add/delete!






hey folks,

I decided (& asked for xkonnis permission) to open a new thread where we can talk about the new features and things that (don't) work yet to keep the original CM10 DEVELOPMENT Thread clean!

Nightlies can be found here:
http://get.cm/?device=ville
[watch out that you DON'T FLASH CM9 OVER CM10!]


please note that atm these builds (& the nightlies!) are not stable, & you should only flash this if you are REALLY comfortable with it.
You should also be experienced in flashing & fastboot, adb & other stuff.
If you aren't then better read, read & read!
Nobody is responsible if this breaks or bricks your phone other than yourself!!!

TMoUS_0.16
TMoUS_1.08ts Radio

  • Bluetooth, Bluetooth tethering & Bluetooth Audio
  • Quick toggles in navigationbar

Anyone else have issues with restoring a nandroid after testing jb? I use twrp and the restore goes fine but after booting the restored rom the microphone won't work and data becomes very flaky.

did you delete everything before restoring? perhaps JB adds things that are not overwritten by an ICS backup?

Tried installing the build with today's date, and it won't boot like everyone else reported.

Going to try yesterday's build and see if there's a difference. Will post another update with the results.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Got yesterday's build to boot.

No data or other radios (of course).

Most other things seemed to work. Butter is very nice and I love that lockscreen.

The auto-re sizing widgets didn't work, that is: When you try to put a widget on a page that has some space, but not enough for the widget in it's native form, it didn't re-size automatically.

--------UPDATE--------
Installed today's build over yesterday's and wiped cache/dalvik and it boots and it looks like I have a cell signal! I'll report back shortly!

Also meant to add, I am using TWRP and did NOT flash a boot image.

Will make this a rolling update as I'm still playing around. Will try installing today's build on top of this to see if that's successful.

Tried fastboot flashing the kernel you had before trying JB? Or maybe its just some butter leftovers smeared into the mic opening;)

Does this mean you where able to boot?
Oh yeah.

Here's the latest:

Able to boot.

What works for me:

SD Mount Works
Data Works
Installed Gapps package from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/aosp-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-rom-nexus-s-guide/

One issue I had was, after installing today's build for the first time over yesterday's, it got stuck on the "Android is upgrading..." screen. Had to go back into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik for it to behave. Same thing after installing the Gapps package. Then it booted after a few minutes (first boot might take a while.

Still playing around, will report more successes/failures in a bit.

Try flashing, the one from the 17th first, boot up, then go back into recovery and flash the one from the 18th right over it (don't wipe anything). It should boot after that but will definitely take several minutes.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

I ran this only for short while but here's what I've found:

WORKING:
Data
Gapps from here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/aosp-c...nexus-s-guide/
Linking to Google account
GMail
SD Mount Works

NOT WORKING:
After using a bit phone started lagging, got force closes on various things
Phone does not work, can't make calls. Phone rings if you call it but freezes and phone app crashes if you try to answer.

Other issues:

1. After installing today's build for the first time over yesterday's, it got stuck on the "Android is upgrading..." screen. Had to go back into recovery and wipe cache/dalvik for it to behave. Same thing after installing the Gapps package. Then it booted after a few minutes (first boot might take a while.

2. The auto-re sizing widgets didn't work, that is: When you try to put a widget on a page that has some space, but not enough for the widget in it's native form, it didn't re-size automatically.

3. After trying to install 1 more app (Camera360 for fun)then the screen went black and wouldn't turn back on. Tried wiping caches and rebooting, but it hung on boot again.

INFO:
Also, I am using TWRP and did NOT flash a boot image.

Had to go back to ICS for now since I'll be running around this afternoon. Will keep playing with subsequent builds though. Seems like we're getting close! These devs are awesome!

Do these jb roms come with Google now, and the new voice search?

Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Couldn't find it on CM10 but it's possible I just missed it (since I wasn't really looking for it).

BiteBlaze's ROM has it though.

Not sure if you're aware, but you can get a somewhat function versions of Google Now running on ICS (I've had to work on TrickDroid, CM9 and Liquid ICS so far) here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749045 Voice search does not work yet, just cards, but they're pretty cool.

    cm-10-20120722-EXPERIMENTAL-ville-1.zip
    intervigil fixed signal strength display, and i sorted out some (but not all) camera problems.

    you can start the camera from the lockscreen by swiping left and it can take still pics + panorama.
    note that after taking a pic you need to restart the camera app as the preview is locking up and also the wake-lock we had on ics for a while is back. this means you will suffer a massive battery drain if you use the camera and don't restart your phone afterwards.
    the solution we used on ics unfortunately does not work on jellybean anymore.

    while this isn't ideal, its better than not being able to use the camera at all.

    Does anyone know why the Play Music app sends Track and Artist info to my car stereo via Bluetooth on CM9 but does not on CM10 (or any other ROM for that matter?)

    I really like having that ability and I have only ever seen it on CM9.

    This was merged recently and should work in today's release iirc.





    I was wondering now that panorama is working in cm10 can't we have it on cm9 as well?

    Sent from my HTC One S

    If we sacrifice video recording completely, yes. But we're getting closer now to fixing that in jb and will backport it to ics once it works.

    I haven't been able to figure out what the deal is with the graphical glitches. It's a webkit problem for sure, as it only manifests on WebViews (ie. Facebook, regular browser, Gmail message view, etc). I'm fairly certain it was caused by a set of patches a while back to WebKit, will have to dig around later.
    Been looking at kernel stuff recently, hoping to get a build released off the more recent 2.xx kernels soon.

    Confirmed. It doesn't work for me either. I made sure to flash the boot.img too. Baseband version 016.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L

    uploading fix... forgot one of 8 patches... ;/
