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.

Nightly: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2vzw&type=nightly

Google apps addon:
OpenGapps: http://opengapps.org/ (you'll want a zip for the ARM platform, Android version 6.0)
HEADS UP: Be sure you flash the gapps package with your rom. If you boot your rom, then go back and try to flash gapps after the fact, you're gonna have a bad time.

Firmware:
Your best bet is to be on the MF1 bootstack/NE1 modem combo. Here's a flashable zip (this only needs to be done once): http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip

Clean flashed earlier today and seems to be running great. Haven't found anything that doesn't work yet, camera, video, phone calls, GPS all seem to be working fine. Might be the best first nightly for any CM release on this device.

So installed Stock Gapps and the 1st nightly. So far so good, though I didn't get any of the stock CM software like messaging and the browser.

The default google camera gave me the typical "camera has failed" error that I got non stop on 12.1. My solution was always going with Open Camera. Never had issues but in a blue moon.

Any clue why?

So if we are on 12.1, do we need to use the nuke it wiper that was mentioned in the unofficial nightlies?

I remember CyanogenMod said a dirty flash from 12.1 is possible, but just not tried it yet

 

[Samsung.Galaxy.S3]

Do we need any special version of TWRP to flash this for 6.0?

Nope, flashed it with the latest twrp image from their site on my old s3 and it booted up just fine

So what exactly is working right and what still needs tweaking? Is this a daily driver at this point?

I'm getting a no SIM error. I tried using the Nuke_it.zip from Invisiblek's unofficial builds thread and it didn't work.

All Hail to @invisiblek!

Hmmm... I've had this before but not on the last 4 builds or so. Dirty flashed originally over the 12/10 unofficial, and have been going on - now on 12/14. If you flash from 12.1 it seems you'd have to use the nuke_it.zip. I tried it on the other MM ROM out there without success, too. Started from scratch here, as baaaaaaaaaad as I hate to clean flash.

Yeah, I hate to clean flash, too. It's almost never actually necessary.

However this time it doesn't seem to matter if I clean or dirty flash, or whether I use the nuke_it.zip or not. I've tried the 12/13 and 12/14 builds with no luck. I've not tried any others.

I doubt it's possible, but I wonder if it has to do with either the fact that I've encrypted my storage or if it matters that I'm using f2fs on my cache and data partitions. Neither of those obviously mattered for 12.1 and neither *should* have anything to do with reading from the SIM...

Don't use nuke-it.zip if you're clean flashing. They changed the database files for the phone, etc , from @Stealth111's thread "nuking your old telephony and settings databases." on 11/21 cm13 or so. Everything after that is the new ones.

This has been a strange gremlin popping up - I'm surprised to see it still rear it's ugly head. You could use one of the last unofficial builds and then update on that - that's what I've done just out of laziness. Got Xposed and Gravity Box running.

Front facing camera will lock the app when clicked. Logcat to come.

Thanks for the reply. I do understand what the nuke_it.zip was for and why it's unnecessary on a clean flash. I didn't articulate that.

I think I will try your suggestion of trying out an unofficial build and see if that works. Do you have any suggestions for which build to try? I'm wondering if I should try one before 11/21, then run the nuke_it.zip on upgrade, or if I should try one after the database change over.

I'll probably end up doing both strategies because neither will work...

I used 11/25 which didn't need the zip and have just kept going.

Here's the new changelogs for CM13 builds: http://www.cmxlog.com/13/d2vzw/

Thanks to invisiblek and CM Team for keeping us current!

Great work!

Anyone try navigation with this rom and 6.0 gapps? Btw, glad to see @invisiblek back in the d2 saddle. Thanks!

 

[Master Cylinder]

The d2vzw must have 9 lives because this is gonna make it last quite awhile longer!!
Let's give it up for @invisiblek once more!

Darn! Gif animation doesn't work on the XDA phone app.

Mine seems to do better in battery saving mode than the other 2 - puts my address across the street but the dot is next door.

I haven't tried it while driving, but I've used it while walking, biking, and hiking. I have no idea what the difference is, but GPS is flawless on MM whereas I couldn't get a lock since KK. I usually get GPS fix in ~30-40s to ~5m accuracy. [[EDIT: That's actually in GPS only mode.]] My experience is that Mapquest is better for handling navigation purposes than Maps. Idk. Personal preference.

I follow in the footsteps of those before me, and hail the mighty invisiblek!

 

[Jaws4God]

does anyone have a list of what currently doesn't work? I accidently flashed this when doing the weekly updates..
From what i noticed when just quickly messing with it..
Video Camera did not work (said couldn't access camera)
Front Facing camera froze (took picture but then would not let me click anything)
