There was a big security "scare" in the last week regarding a couple of flaws in android's code that could be exploited. The newest stable fixes both. Also the nightlies should include the patches.

I just downloaded CM 10.1.2. I'm guessing that still contains the MasterKey patch? Also...what is the MasterKey patch? :eek:

WTF 10.1.1 then 10.1.2 in one day? Crazy.

As cyanogenmod.org says officially, " CM 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 were shipped to address two separate bugs tentatively title as “Master Key” issues. "

Has anyone noticed the function key on the keyboard not working for web pages?

Like typing in a ! using the hardware keyboard in the search bar on www.google.com or in the Netflix app. Maybe I have setting wrong some place but I didn't see anything posted elsewhere so I figured I'd just ask if anyone else had the same issues.

I have had that problem as well, at least through the Chrome (beta) browser. I never thought to bring it up or report it, as I'm trying to wean myself away from the keyboard (my "upgrade" Kyocera Torque is sitting on the desk next to me, begging to be activated lol).

I remember having that problem once. I've found Chrome just runs so bad on the epic that I just ditched it and went back to browser.

In the doghouse with a rebooting phone

Wife's Epic is running a 10.1 nightly (Early June). I was running Titanium Backup (free) in prep for loading 10.1.2 stable. TBU was acting strange (screen went black [not off] then to desktop while SU was popping granting rights) so I booted the phone after a time that I would think TBU finished in the background. Noticed TBU did not backup all apps so I started a redo. It was still strange, so I rebooted into recovery and was going to clear the cache, but never got that far. The phone is rebooting constantly (makes it to the CM splash, then boots).

Same with a battery pull. Same with holding vol down+camera+power.

Obviously, something is hosed in recovery, so unless someone has a great trick up their sleeve, I would like to reload just CWM and hope everything else comes back. Can I simply ODIN CWM without reloading the ROM so it will boot normally? If so, do I need the same CWM version that came with the nightly, or will any version work?

Again, wife's phone, so I need the apps backed up so I can do a proper restore in TBU once I get CM 10.1.2 loaded - or else. LOL

Thanks...

If I am correct, there is only a BML CWM available to use with Odin. CM replaces that with a MTD version upon its install. You will probably be best served by Odining back to stock, rerooting, and push the BML recovery. Then flash CM. And if you have a recent nandroid, you can use titanium backup to restore the apps from that nandroid.

If the nandroid is recent enough, you will be able to restore the app and data with minimal loss. If it's an old nandroid, I guess you're out of luck unless you can get it rebooted and run a backup

I had something like this happen last week while on vacation. (Mind you I am still on one of the last CM10 nighties b/c of the lack of BLE in JB4.2.) On boot, CM would freeze on the animated circle (animation running). Usually a battery pull would fix this. But not this time.

I could still boot to CWM, so I did a Nandroid backup. Then re-flashed the nightly and gapps. But no joy. Still stuck on the animated circle after boot.

So I Odin'd back to stock, loaded CWM, and then flashed the nightly and gapps. That was a success. I was disappointed that the NEW nandroid backup was no where to be found. I saw it complete. Maybe it did not end up on the SD card? It was not a big disaster--only a couple weeks of *mostly junk* lost. I restored the latest (2 week old) nandroid. So be careful.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I ended up odin'ing back to stock, flashed cwm, then loaded cm. Titanium bu saved most app data, not all, so didnt stay in the doghouse too long.

I think the cause may be related to the free version of TBU, as i never had this with my pro version. Getting wife the pro key asap. Lol.

CM 10.1.2 rocks. Even bluetooth is behaving so far. Great job to all the devs!

    CyanogenMod 10.1 is a free, community built distribution of Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

    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.
     */

    This is a preview build of CM10.1 for the Samsung Epic 4G. It may cause all the things in the disclaimer to happen, or steal your girlfriend while you are busy flashing ROMs.

    Please submit a patch to our Gerrit instance if you want to help out.


    WARNING: If you are not already on an official CM10 or CM10.1 build, this will wipe your data due to a resizing of the mtd partitions. If you wish to go back to another ROM, you will need to ODIN back to stock. Currently, the partition sizes are the same between CM10 and CM10.1


    Recommended steps before you install:
    1. Install AppBak from Market, run it and save a list of all your apps.
    2. Install SMS Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your SMS history.
    3. Install Call Logs Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your call log history.
    4. Boot into CWM recovery. Make a full Backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
    5. It is recommended that you wipe data before installing CM10.1 for the first time.

    Additional Disclaimer:
    Any bug reports coming from an Unofficial CM10.1 build, or a modified/patched Official CM10.1 build (modem patch, kernels, etc.) should be directed to the originating thread. It is hard enough to provide bug support for the official releases without having to worry about bugs that may have been introduced by outside means. Bug reports are very welcome if you can reproduce them after flashing back to an official, stock build. We do want to be able to fix all the things. Thank you.

    Nightly Install Instructions:
    1. Download from get.cm. Pay attention to the filenames. Don't grab a CM9 or CM10 build by mistake!
    2. Reboot into recovery and install.

    Nightly Changelog: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#epicmtd/cm10.1/next

    **Google Apps are not included in these ROMs. You'll need to install those yourself if you want them. Recommended and highly suggested are the 4.2.1 gapps from goo.im. Any other versions could result in problems.

    Known Issues:

    - Bluetooth still needs some work. Things work (audio, tethering, file transfers) although they might not work every time. Also, there is a chance that it will get stuck "Turning bluetooth off..." when you attempt to, well, turn bluetooth off. If this happens, your best bet is to reboot your phone before the system bogs down due to logcat spam.

    - Wired headset mic & buttons.

    New Build, Jellybean 4.4.2

    Here you are, a fresh build with the new Jellybean 4.2.2. That said, I don't know if there are any new bugs introduced by the new code changes.

    - I have been using my BT headset for a few hours, doing my best to make it fail. So far it has been running very well, although I'm not going to declare it fixed yet. It's still early and I might just be getting lucky.

    - I am not yet aware of any new gapps, so keep using the 4.2.1 gapps from goo. I did a dirty flash over my previous 4.2.1 build and haven't noticed any issues yet. YMMV.

    New Build

    New build. I accidentally missed the M1 build, but this should be pretty close. Nightlies should be in the somewhat near future.

    No promises but check this build for any improvement in BT. It includes a test patch (more than just the upstream BT merges). The issues seem to still exist, but I've been having somewhat better luck.. with some things.

    It could be a coincidence but here are some observations:
    Pro:
    - Better chance that BT will turn off and back on again.
    - Better chance that the device will connect each time.
    -- When the device doesn't connect, turning BT off/on will allow it to connect (maybe a couple times as necessary).

    Con:
    - When using Apollo: If I let an album get to the end and stop audio on it's own, BT audio seems to stop working when beginning a new album. Needs more testing but it's happened more than once. Reboot will usually fix it. Maybe I need to stop letting the album end on its own :p I also need to test other music apps for similar behavior to rule out an Apollo bug.
    - Maybe more, but I forget for now. Let me know if anything is better.

    New Preview Build.

    Still just some upstream updates:

    - This has the new version of the lockscreen/homescreen clock/calendar/weather widget (You may recognize it from CM10)
    - Probably more... poke around :)

    I know it's a couple days old already, things have still been a little crazy as the holidays wrap up.

    The cm-10.1.3 stable build has a flaw with the hardware keyboard arrow keys. Flash the zip in this post to fix it.
