Cyanogen's Nightly Builds

[forrest09]

idk has anyone else had an issue running snap 7.0 on rc2 were acore.android craps out and nothing works period? acore.android has stopped working just keeps popping up. when i went to try and run a nandroid backup it says error use adb for backup... idk snap is great but im gonna leave it be for now. i got kick *** numbers outta it but the phone runs just fine without it too =P

Why 7.0? Get the 7.2 it works fine for me.

 

[oldsmobuick#AC]

Has to do with asian keyboards included in ROM. search XDA for an easy fix.

IIRC it involves deleting two files from the phone...

uhh....wtf.

Just flashed to the latest nightly from rom manager (8-17-2010) and now I am getting this force close error message randomly or everytime I try to type in something anywhere.

"The application [japanese letters] (process com.android.inputmethod.pinyin) has stopped unexpectedly please try again."

This sucks cause im at work to. Going to have to wait till I get home then im going to try to manually flash the latest nightly again or try a different one. Anyone else have this problem?

Edit: Rushed home during my lunch break and flashed 8-14-2010 to use with snap. Seems to be working just fine. I have no clue wtf is up with 8-17-2010 nightly. I flashed that again BEFORE I flashed back to 8-14-2010 and I got the same error message.

I just want to say thank you to Jcarter11, I didnt realize you had this thread up and have been looking for someone that was keeping track of the nightly's. If you try and keep track of them by CyanogenMod posts you'll go absolutely nuts... Thank you again and keep up the great work !

 

[SamJamz]

Now if someone could point me in the direction of a post or video that describes how to work with command promps, pushing files and other related info that tells you what to do word for word ( Because for some reason I just can't seem to get a couple things) I would be very great full!

 

[Eric1987]

Uh what do you need to do?

 

[chaosrecords]

I wasn't able to flash to the 8-17 or 8-18 nightly builds, after i flashed the rom it went right back to the HTC evo white screen and constantly rebooted.

This is after clearing cache/dalvik/wiping data etc..

I flashed back to my 8-6 build and it worked fine.

 

[Eric1987]

why would you flash to such an old build? The only one that didnt work fine for me was like the 15th nightly build. I'm on the latest one right now.

Anything ground breaking in the nightlies since RC2 ?

 

[eric.atx]

I am using the new RC2 of cyanogen and I love it. Can't wait for this to get fully released and working.

 

[Eric1987]

Does anyone know why the 8-21-2010 nightly is smaller than 8-20-2010?

 

[RiZZ]

because its broken.

Use 20 untill 22 is my suggestion.

 

[shaker3818]

alright everyone, i am going from stock 2.1 using unrevoked 3 to cyanogen. I'm going to do this in a few hours. Should I just go with RC2 or one of the other nightlys?

I don't need high fps (I don't play games) I just want a very stable yet very fast vanilla froyo with the great mod's cyanogen has put together.

THANK YOU!!!

Running 8/21 w/ Snap kernel. Good so far.

@shaker3818 : I would choose RC2 simply because nightlies can be an up/down adventure... and then wait for RC3.

 

[shaker3818]

@ Kedar: I like the idea of running a snap kernel because I understand they are much better on battery life and performance but I'm not sure how to install them. I downloaded 7.3beta3 from [Kernel] CM6-Snapv7.3beta3/OC/UV/AVS/BFQ. - xda-developers but I'm using this method:
How To: Unlock NAND on the HTC Evo 4G | TheUnlockr

to root my evo and this method

How To: Load a Custom ROM on the HTC Evo 4G | TheUnlockr

to load a custom rom.

Those are the only sites that seem to explain things on such a basic level that I can follow the directions simply. With that in mind, how can I get the 8/21 nightly and snap kernel like you have? (obviously I've downloaded the files but I'm just not sure how they fit into the instructions for "how to load a custom rom" that i posted)

THANKS!!

Hey!
Okay, I'm a bit fuzzy on the root process.
Have you finished the whole root + nand unlock process?

If so, then I can help you. I just did root one and never really did it again.

Warning! You'll have to wipe your data!
TBH... These are bad steps. I really suggest you just follow the ones on XDA cause they are better, but use mine as a reference.


1. Go to market and install "Rom Manager"... free version is what i use.
2. Sorry, messed up steps.
3. Again, messed up.
4. Open Rom Manager. Go down to Flash Alternate Recovery. Tap it to get Amon RA recovery. I say to do this because Clockwork, last time I checked, doesn't wipe properly.
5. Tap on Reboot into Recovery. It'll take you to a screen with options. You navigate up/down with the volume keys, choose with power key, and go back by pressing up/down volume keys at same time.
6. Go to backup and create a nand backup. It's a complete image of your phone at that time. So if something happens, you can always bring back the backup and restore it.
6. Go to wipe and wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Do it twice if you want to to make sure.
7. Go to flash zip --> from sd card--> Flash the 8/21 nightly and then the snap kernel. Basically you choose a zip to flash and press power to select it. Flash the nightly first... it'll take some time and then the snap kernel afterwards.
8. Reboot. If you get bootloops, then pull the battery. Hold the volume down button while holding power button to get into the bootloader screen. Choose Recovery to get back into recovery. Then restore that nand backup you did earlier.

TBH... These are bad steps. I really suggest you just follow the ones on XDA cause they are better, but use mine as a reference.

Just use his directions.


It's really not that complicated. However, it'll seem that way the first time you do these things.
Hope that helps. Sorry it's vauge.

 

[shaker3818]

just one quick question...Step 8. If I DO NOT get boot-loops, do i still need to restore my nand backup from earlier?

THanks!

Nope! You're good to go!

Nand restore only if you get bootloops so you can get back to a stable phone.
Nand backups and restore are used so that if you flash something not good or your phone is acting up, you can nand restore to something before that was stable and worked well.

 

[shaker3818]

Thanks for all your help. Now some ?'s about cyanogen 8/21 build:

1) Am I the only one that doesn't seem to have access to my browsing history?

2) Am I the only one that gets an error saying I don't have enough space on my phone when I try to download files?

3) The gallery is crazy slow to load then locks up my whole phone.

WTF? I never had these problems with 2.1.

Don't use the newest nightly. Go to like the 8-18 or so.
