CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are 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 us for messing up your device, we 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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). 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 our Gerrit Code Review.

Before You Post a Bug
PLEASE include steps to reproduce the bug, and a logcat would be nice. If it's hardware related or your device reboots please post your last_kmsg.

How to logcat?
See here (read up to the end of the "logcat" section).
Upload it to a pastebin, include the link in your bug report.

or if you're on your phone and can't get to a computer:



If you install a terminal (this one works nicely) and type this:
Code:
su
then, accept the superuser prompt, and type
Code:
logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
it should save a logcat at /sdcard/logcat.txt. You can change the filename, and it will overwrite whatever exists already at /sdcard/logcat.txt

How to get last_kmsg?
Copy /proc/last_kmsg and upload the file contents to a pastebin, include the link to that in your bug report

Please feel free to ask questions pertaining to this rom and post bugs or any issues you may run into. Any help/contributions would also be appreciated as my free time is limited. :)

Works pretty good so far, thanks! Only thing I noticed is slow animation on the notification bar and auto rotation doesn't seem to work... Other than that great work!

I've noticed the same things. What I've found for auto rotation is a reboot or soft reboot temporarily fixes the issue for me. I'm going to look into fixing the camera and then look into auto rotation. As for the animation I haven't experienced it myself but will look out for it and take it from there.

I/we have the exact same issue with CM13 and picassolte. Autorotation works after a reboot, but once the device goes to sleep for the first time it stops working. Logcat shows all kinds of activity related to rotation when it works, but once it stops, nothing is logged. It looks like the motion sensor is not reactivated when the device wakes from sleep.

I'm currently experiencing the same issues (auto-rotation, no camera, SD not mounting), but this is simply fantastic. And the awesome battery life from Android M makes it all worth it while you work out the bugs. Way to go keeping this device alive!

Ok, so I gave it a try and it seems quite smooth and stable. Awesome work awidawad, thank you again!

Because I use this tablet for online television streaming with the magineTV app (in Germany) I recognized that "widevine DRM" is not installed.. so I can't start streaming.
I guess this is also necessary to have if you're using google play movie or other streaming apps.
I just wanted to tell

Thanks for letting me know. Tested my own SD card and have it noted. Will add this to bug list and work on a fix.

There is problem in flashing of cm-13.0-20160505-UNOFFICIAL-picassowifi.zip.
Permanent return in TWRP.
Are you using the latest TWRP?

Newbie approach also possible?

Thanks for all the good work you're doing. I'm thrilled that I can upgrade my device to MM 6.0.

Sorry for my newbie questions, but as more readers are not really techies, maybe you can give an answer to these two questions?

1) Do you need root to flash this ROM? If so, how can I do that? Is there a sort of manual for non-techies available?
2) Where can I find TWRP Recovery, I can only find TWRP Manager (Requires root), TWRP Coordinatot (Requires root). Or do you mean something else? Can you give a link, please? How does it work?

Thanks a lot.
Also on behalf of lots of unexperienced users.

Best,

Hans
