CM9 Nightly for P930 is up

[neuty]

Found these things with the stable release so far:

Volume gets lowered automatically- only way to fix this is to reboot that i know of.
Unlock screen stops working, it doesn't prompt to unlock.

Experiences with the "Stable" release:

-Random reboots
--Sometimes from LG screen all the way, most of the time just from CM9 loader
-Launcher crashes (pretty frequent)
-Digitizer lockup (pretty frequent)
-Random apps are quitting out- Twitter, Google Talk and Gmail have all done it to me

Stable, in my case, seems to be a misnomer

This is stable as in "there are no outstanding blocker issues open". And there still aren't any.

8/15 nightly Bugs:

Phone softboots when receiving phone calls (random)
Battery drains at 10% per hour at certain times, other times its fine (when compared to RC10 *using Hyperion Battery
Phone gets hot (something that RC1 rarely did)
GPS gets stuck repeating the name of the same street

Good thing about this nightly is that the browser search bar in Google no longer goes crazy like in RC1

RC1 keeps being the best for me, i could use notifications for the touch light, was stable, no reboots.
After downgrading to RC1, superuser stopped working and i cant use root priviliges, im stuck with having to use the latest nightly

Format system (in CWM) before flashing RC1 and it should work fine. You'll have to reflash gapps after that.

Thanks Drumist. I tried it but it didn't work. I also found out the phone wont recognize my mp3 files or pictures... Tried formatting my sd card and it didnt work either. Going to data wipe next.

Ah, I didn't realize you weren't wiping data. I dunno if RC1 and the latest nightlies are the same version of Android. Generally if the Android version number changes at all (e.g., 4.0.3 to 4.0.4), you MIGHT need to do a clean install to avoid issues.

Okay so i wiped everything started fresh, now superuser works.

But i have a BIG PROBLEM, my media players (even apollo) and gallery/quickpic(except for show hidden) cant view any files. Can anyone help me find out whats wrong or how i can fix this? i am able to play files from root, but from from my players or gallery...

Try updating rom manager. I read in a thread (forgot which one) that rom manager was causing this to happen to people

Update: its not apps or anything, i tried putting a different SD card and it read files fine. So i need to find a program that can properly reformat SD cards. Suggestions?
Update 2: I formatted the sd card again (quick formatted this time) and i loaded an mp3. Looks like its working now... THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! : )

Btw: updating ROM manager didn't do anything

FOUND THE SOLUTION: Pretty dumb of me... But i had this file called .nomedia- no idea how it got there. I just deleted it from the sd card and things worked again. Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

Rom Manager caused that file to be there. "The more you know" lol, glad you found it out yourself!

Lol, I read Neuty's post first regarding the .nomedia file so I gave it a shot. After a couple of reboots, everything came back to normal! All my ringtones r there too. Thanks man! And malnilion, thanks for informing about ROM manager! Its funny though cuz I've already have version 5.0.1.5, which is not even on play yet (v5.0.1.4) n I didn't even use ROM manager to flash anything. So its kinda weird.

Swapping SD cards has been known to brick the phone. Happened to me. Everything becomes super slow.

Well im all back to normal, i didnt lose root which was the most important so the unbricking was just the loading the 5 images back. I little part of me died lol. Not sure how it got so sluggish and laggy, but it could be bc of swapping sd cards

To the question about the RC's, RC's tend to be more stable, and nightlies can be less stable due to the fact that they arent tested too well.

Aha! Again swapping SD cards has caused a super laggy brick. Why is this??

We don't know why. We just know that flashing a KDZ (i.e., "unbricking") solves the issue.

So let's find out lol. What does a new SD card change that only a kdz overwrites?
