Known Issues
  • SELinux context of some files not always being set properly
  • No access to DeviceParts (HSDPA settings, TV out)

Reporting Bugs

You are allowed to report bugs only in this thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.

REPORT BUGS IN THIS THREAD ONLY

  • 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. Note: If you can provide the latest night/build that the bug didn't exist, it would greatly help in tracking down what caused it.

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:

FAQ

If it is a feature in general CyanogenMod, please post the request at the CyanogenMod bug tracker.

android.process.media

I am not sure if it is the gapps file or something on my device. Haven't played with 4.3 yet.
Already wiped cache, dalvik, data
Will fixing the permissions fix it all?

@PaWipt. I have the encryption unsuccessful bug on phone and my internal sdcard is unusable. In 4.2.2 I switched the vold.Fstab to boot from external sdcard. Is it possible to switch sdcards in 4.3. There is no vold anymore supposedly its only in kernel now, is it at all possible to use 4.3 on my phone.

Unfortunately, you'll have to compile your own kernel with the edited fstab.

The smaller alternative gapps package causes Google keep and Google music to force close. Don't know what other Google services might be affected.

Important information about repartitioning

The next nightly will repartition /system to be 600 MB (from the previous 400 MB) to fit the ever enlarging Android system. The repartition process is automatic, but you will lose your /data. When flashing, the first installation will fail with a warning that your /data will be wiped, simply select the .zip again and the install will proceed. If you've backed up your phone before installation (which you should), you may restore /data from backup (using "Advanced Restore" option in CWM) with no ill effect.

Alrighty!

Did a clean flash and it still does the same thing...focal closes when trying to switch to any other mode (i.e. panorama, video camera, picsphere). I can take on or two regular pics without it closing. Browsing and changing settings is no issue.

Otherwise, system run super smooth, apps install and run with no issue. No fc or random reboots (yet :p)

I'm new to custom android on phones I have Transformer Infinity with TWRP CM 10.2 but what does I need to know of baseband and modems? Do I need to update them from stock. I'm planing on putting CyanogenMod on my friends Samsung Captivate SGH–I897.

    Any news on KitKat for our cappy????

    I'm busy with life at the moment, so it won't be soon. Eventually, probably.

    Maybe DerTeuful can beat Pawitp with the kernel ;)

    Talked to him earlier and he is planning on supporting the cappy officially for cm11 ROMs/kernels

    I've made a disappointing discovery with these 4.3 Nightlies. As long as you stick with the stock kernel and upgrade through CM Updater, things seem to be getting pretty stable. However, try flashing ANY other kernel and you've nearly destroyed the Rom. First I tried Gear Kernel 1.09c and upon reboot and optimization, it starts out with either AOSP keyboard crashing, (if your lucky), or most always every system in the Rom quits responding. I can't even get the Semaphore 3.2 to even boot up. I actually did get the 10-11-13 nightly to run after disabling the AOSP keyboard and installing SwiftKey, but had sluggish performance at times and phone call issues. Plus, all my text messages were wiped along with my contacts. One would've thought I could just flash the original Rom over the Gear Kernel or the latest update downloaded from get.cm, but nope, my old Cappy still goes berserk. Only fix I've found if I got another kernel to work and wanted the latest nightly, was to wipe everything and format system before flashing new update. Anyone know why this is happening? Has CM put a copyright on their kernel or Rom? Lol. Thanks

    Recent builds have updated ramdisk which custom kernels need to be updated by their developers to be compatible.
