[ROM][7.1.x][v500] Official CyanogenMod 14.1 (Nightly)
- Thread starter fefifofum
- Start date
It was there, I am coming from CM13... rebooted manually, seems working, thank you.
Please, Help;;;
I am using the CM13 and using the microSD as internal storage.
How do I not format my microSD?

SoundRecorder should now be fixed in next official build.
Stupid me tried to upgrade straight from 12.1 since the OTA update announcement popped up. I figured it would be fine if i just installed the Kitkat bootloader and updated, but that resulted in a stuck boot even if i rebooted manually. I solved it by wiping everything with TWRP and re-flashing from there, in case someone else does the same.
Anyway, ROM appears solid and it's good to have official support for the v500. I've been following the CM13 thread but never installed it because it didn't make it to the official repos. A couple issues though;
- the lockscreen is always in portrait mode, even if screen orientation is set to landscape.
- the privacy guard doesn't allow denying internet access, i wish this will be re-implemented, because then i don't need a third party firewall at all.
- VLC crashes when trying to set brightness by sliding a finger on the left-hand side of the screen, never done that before on 12.1 (same version of VLC)
Thanks!

settings -> display -> rotation settings -> rotate lock screen
https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/172995 is this the one you mentioned? It will arrive in tomorrow's nightly! :victory:
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to do what i mean. I usually use my v500 in landscape mode only, and the auto-rotation is disabled. When i lock the screen, the lockscreen (and pattern lock) is displayed in portrait mode, regardless of what i do on the settings page you mentioned. Rotate lock screen is enabled but greyed out since auto-rotate is disabled, as i prefer it to be.
In 12.1, lockscreen was also set to whatever the rotation mode was set to.
Sorry if already mentioned, if i update TWRP can I dirty flash CM 14.1 over official CM 12.1 ?
I tried it, and my device got stuck in the booting sequence, even if i rebooted it manually many times over. I had to do a full wipe, and then re-flash 14.1 for it to work. It might have been only my device, but i wouldn't try that again. Better do it clean.
I have installed today's official Build and stay with force close on SoundRecord, and now after boot or reboot i have an popup saying "Error report of CM have an system fail".
I submitted a fix yesterday on gerrit, but it looks like it has not been merged yet.

Nice to see that todays build was installed automatically in twrp, but booting was very long again, so had to restart.
It might just be optimizing.. depends on how many apps you have installed. How long is very long? It should not be more than 5 mins.
I just flashed yesterday's nightly, and i noticed 14.1 doesn't display the 'optimizing app' dialog at all? Only the blue bug shows up, and eventually it finished booting. Made me think it had hung up, again.
This may be a reason why I thought it hung up.
Edit: ok, now it finished booting after more than 8 mins
Edit2: today I experienced a lot of unexpected reboots...

Probably because you had already reset it in the middle of optimization a few times before. You might need to factory reset now.
