Is there any chance for the touchscreen problem?

Or a possibility of an older CWM that will fix the issue? I was told that installing IconiaN before CWM would fix the issue, but I'm still stuck in CWM without any ability to select/click on the screen.

Thank you in advance!

It has been mentioned many times. Locate a copy of the jellybean bootloader and updated touchscreen firmware and flash that (I believe a flashable zip is available somewhere in this forum). Alternatively, doing the official JB OTA will also update the bootloader and touchscreen firmware.

EDIT: It seems that the download link to Vorbeth's flashable zip is broken, so your only choice right now is to flash stock and take the JB OTA.

Problems with games and OBB files

Hello,

I got problems with games with OBB files since the 10.1 first nightly.
No problems at all with the 10 version.

In fact, it seems that the OBB files are not recognized - or perhaps the location of the OBB files is not recognized (sdcard0/Android/OBB).
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM (paranoid 2.99 beta 9) and all the games with obb files works perfectly.

Thanks in advance

Network performance

My a700 find only 2.4ghz wireless networks. 5ghz wireless networks not shown to me. Is this a problem from cm 10.1 or a problem from a700. I need a higher Network performance. The current connection is 65mbits an 2,4ghz wireless network. This is not enough to stream hd movies.

Have you tried reinstalling the games from the market? Android 4.2 uses a special location for obb files so they are not duplicated for multiple users.

My a700 find only 2.4ghz wireless networks. 5ghz wireless networks not shown to me. Is this a problem from cm 10.1 or a problem from a700. I need a higher Network performance. The current connection is 65mbits an 2,4ghz wireless network. This is not enough to stream hd movies.

I believe 5 GHz is not supported by the hardware. You can try confirming by going back to stock and check if it's shown there.

Fix worked for me, but after flashing the 26 nightly having same issue as before!

Flashing the fix again is working!

The fix is supposed to be included in the 27 nightly.

on 26 nightly i dont had any icons in the dock....

and after i tried to restore my nandroid, the ZERO folder with the content of MEDIA was also present and not restored back to root SD Folder

Restoring nandroid of 4.1? Nandroid does not touch /data/media, but Android 4.2 moves into the "0" folder for multiple users support (each user get their own folder). Due to potential data loss and path conflict, CWM will not touch your /data/media when downgrading and it is your job to move them back.

As for Trebuchet, it's in heavy development right now.

ah, okay, thanks

i know for the zero folder but thougt it restores back an nandroid, okay, then i will move it back

for trebuchet it´s doesn´t matter for me, i´m using GoLauncher, but to install any other thing, you´ve got to open filemanager or market, and both of them are NOT on any homescreen ;)

If you're using other launchers, then the bugs will have nothing to do with CM.

OBB files

I tried to install it from the market and it works, but what I want to do is to transfert files between my phone and my tablet without reinstalling everything (it is too long).

On my phone (Galaxy Nexus - Paranoid 2.99 beta 9 - 4.2.1), I can put file in Android/obb folder and it work perfectly but not on my tablet.

Could you do something ? Or help me to do something ?

Also, if you're not using a live wallpaper, you might want to try "wallpaper quick render" in Launcher setting, it will greatly increase the scrolling speed of your homescreen.

    CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    WARNING: I've bricked my tablet into APX mode around the 10th time of flashing this ROM (recovery froze and it rebooted into APX). The new (Update 1) recovery should be safer than the old one, but flash at your own risk!

    Code:
    #include 
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     */

    CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    Reporting Bugs

    You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread.

    • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
    • If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
    Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow.

    Code:
    What is your--
    Phone model:
    Radio (baseband):
    CM version:
    CM Download url:
    Gapps version:
    
    Did you--
    wipe:
     restore with titanium backup:
    reboot after having the issue:
    
    Are you using--
    a task killer:
    a non-stock kernel:
    CMSettings/Performance settings (other than stock):
    other modifications:
    
    Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:

    The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

    Note to Official JB Users

    Jelly Bean bootloader is only supported on 201212023-EXEPRIMENTAL and later NIGHTLIES.

    @pawitp Is Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3) realistic for our a700?

    Sent from my rooted Acer Iconia A700 running IconiaN with Tapatalk HD

    It'll probably eventually get it. I just don't have the free time right now to port it.

    Re: [NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Acer A700

    I'm aware of that. did you already tried it and how does it look? does the image gets upscaled and filtered or how?

    Run this from adb shell or root terminal

    Code:
    am display-size 1200x800
    am display-density 160

    Then reboot. Use this to restore original setting.

    Code:
    am display-size reset
    am display-density reset

    Thank you for the logcat! I've triggered a test build with the fix. Please test if it works or not.

    Has anyone had success tethering to a phone? I've tried tethering my A700 to my GT-i9300 both running cm10.1 and though they connect using Wi-Fi hotspot and bluetooth tethering, internet only works when the i9300 is using Wi-Fi from my router. If my i9300 is on data and I try to open a browser or internet reliant app like Facebook, Gmail etc., on the A700, it tries to load unsuccessfully. I know others on the i9300 cm10.1 discussion thread have had success with other tablets. I couldn't find a tethering setting when on stock (A700) but would expect it to work if it works when my phone has a Wi-Fi connection to my router!

    I tether from my Galaxy S1 just fine. Have you tried your accessing I9300's internet from another device (e.g. laptop) to verify that it is indeed providing a connection?

    Has anyone tried LagFix/FStrim on their device running this version of CM? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkeydonate.lagfix&hl=en

    As a side note, any idea if it is possible, in the works, etc to get TWRP working on our device? Is it possible or easy to port it? I find it more user friendly for flashing the nightlies along with the Chrome Desktop patch, Sony Certificate Installer etc that I do along with every update.

    FStrim will have no effect on our device since I've disabled TRIM support within the kernel, as it is this command that causes bricks on our device. (There is a bug in Samsung's EMMC firmware.)

    Porting TWRP should be fairly easy to do.

    EDIT: Attached. Not creating a new thread for this since I won't really be supporting it.

    Code:
    DEVICE_RESOLUTION := 1920x1200
    RECOVERY_SDCARD_ON_DATA := true
    TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/data/media"
    TW_INTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "data"
    TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/external_sd"
    TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "external_sd"
