[Q&A][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12 Nightlies

[Hagarthehorrible]

Yes, I must have done a dirty flash as I didn't wipe anything beforehand. As far as the gapps, I only ever use the pico sized one. So far I haven't tried any overclocking but I will try your suggestion of 1.2 or 1.3 ghz. Thanks.

I wiped everything, including sd card and started with fresh install of Feb 6 nightly. Performance has improved a lot, everything appears to be a lot smoother and faster. I was notified of 3 new updates of CyanogenMod, for the last 3 days, how often or when should I do an update?

As often as you want. There will be new build every day if nothing breaks the build process. There will be different release channel, M-snapshots, which will only update ~once a month after upstream (CM) has finished code freeze and branches for M1. You can also use that after it's been released and receive updates much less often. This may require full wipe though as crossing release channels is not always very good idea.

Sorry for asking but I've a question that the ROM lags very much. When will be its stable version available?

When you find some build stable. This will likely stay in beta all the way just like CM11 did. It's up to you when it's stable enough for you. I'm not having any special lag issues though. If you are using inspiremod try a installation without it.

There probably won't be an official CM12 stable release, as there wasn't for CM11. As this is an unofficial CM12 ROM, there definitely won't be a stable release.

The last stable CM release for our device was CM7, or Android 2.3, as that was the last Android version HTC released the source code for.

When you decide the ROM is stable is up to you - most users will already find it stable enough for them to use as their daily driver, I find it more stable than the stock Android 2.2 / 2.3 my phone came with. It won't be as fast as Android 2.2 or 2.3, but as there is no HTC Sense interface layered on top of Android it should be fast enough without lag, although depending on what additional apps you install to make the phone usable for yourself, the amount of lag will vary.

I have similar apps installed as on CM11, with a similar CPU overclock, and Greenify set up in the same way and I find little difference in speed and responsiveness as compared to CM11 - a few apps are faster and a few are slower. I have tested with a higher overclock than I had on CM11, and my phone was faster than it was on CM11, but normally I run with a small overclock, and the same settings as I did with CM11. If I find my phone getting laggy / unresponsive, I just press the power button and let Greenify do its stuff, screen back on after about 70 secs and the phone is responsive again.

First post of main development thread has the details of what recovery you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57013085&postcount=1. Scroll down to the FAQ's.

Not Clockwork, use only TWRP 2.8.1.2 ACE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780164
Reboot to bootloader and use : fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img

I noticed when I go to performance in settings to try and overclock the processor the minimum cpu frequency is 1024 mhz and the maximum cpu frequency is 245 mhz. This looks backwards to me, am I correct in this assumption? Thanks.

Well there are plenty of light browsers available on Play Store.

Ex. Lightning Browser Pro
Shark Browser Pro
Now Browser Pro/ Extended.

Most importantly they supports Adblock!

Please state if you have full wiped or dirty flashed the ROM when you are reporting problems. A lot of problems can be fixed just by full wiping. It's also possible that dirty flashing can introduce problems.

Does the Kernel support OTG for Inspire 4G

Hi Musta,

I am having HTC Inspire 4G and running CM12 Nightly build. Many thanks for the wonderful work and as many other said keeping our devices live with the newer versions!

I have a question regarding OTG support for this Kernel. I tried connecting a Mass Storage device using OTG cable, but the device do not recognize it. I searched and found few issues like issue with cable or with filesystem on mass storage device. So, I tried checking it with couple of cables and it did not help. I also tried with NTFS, FAT 32 filesyetm on Mass storage device and it did not help either. I can see OS support it and has the required API, however not sure if the Kernel supports it or not. I tried using Stickmount, OTG checker and Diagnostic apps but none of them could detect the device.

I am not an experienced person and has very minimal understanding of Android architecture. So, it would be great if you can help me with this query. Please let me know if you need any further information for the response and excuse me if it is not the right forum for this question.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Vishal Mahajan

Dunno. Due to lack of current output on ace's USB jack I can't test it and I don't want to buy Y-cable because it pretty much kills the whole point of OTG. Some support is there but it can be very broken for all I know.
