Hi
has anyone tried the ICS encryption feature yet? Does it work? Performance impact?

It touches your SD card data so not recommended for now...

I have tried repeatedly on my new Galaxy Nexus to make it work, but I can never successfully encrypt the device. It fails half way and then everything is lost... so be careful if/when you decide to encrypt. Be aware if it does not work everything will be wiped; backup everything. Sorry I don't have more useful info. If I get it working I will re-post with my comments about speed etc.

The encryption is the only thing that will allow us to use an android device at work...quite sad to see it's still in such infant state...

@nameite The full disk encryption offered in the newer Moto updates seems to work well. I encrypted the NAND only on a d2g and everything worked smoothly.

New CM9 Nightly Builds for TF101

Hello people,
I was looking through the nightly builds on download.cyanogenmod.com
I saw a fresh build for TF101 dated for 2/27.
Check it out. I will flash it and see how it is.
Someone also needs to create an Official CM9 Nightly page in Dev section.
So who wants to be the Guinea pig? I'm already running that KANG that was posted up earlier this weekend. I may try it after I charge up.
yea...guinea pig here....goes through boot animation and then system ui and trebuchet (the launcher) fc...i would say stay away until some official announcement is made
Yeah. It doesn't even boot up probably. :-(... going back to stock

You have to start somewhere.
Now at least we have an official CM9 branch, which means someone is working on it

I got launcher force closes when i had an overclocked kernel with a stock rom. Gonna check this out a little later.

I'm surprised that this news seems to be not generating much buzz here. Not knocking any of the other devs, because most of them do amazing work, but CM is the bee's knees. When those nightlies get semi-mature, I'll be running them and never look back. They've never done me wrong before. Any device I've ever had that was supported, was the best ROM available for my needs. YMMV, of course.
I think when its own thread is created youll see the buzz, cm rocks lol

I tried flashing it and got the same fc, the system ui and launcher. I tried it again but formatted system this time. Got the same results but was able to see the clock and tablet reboot options.
Guess it's not ready yet

Yep, same here, even with wipe dalvik and fix permissions, FC´s :S
Let us wait for a new update....
Alas, I ran across this on get.cm also. Got excited and then had the FC issues like everyone else. At least it is a step in the right direction.
Don´t know if its related,
lost my wifi hability after trying this, anyone else?
it just won´t turn on :S
Was just about to try flashing it until I saw how many people were unsuccessful. Oh well, guess I'll wait until an official release.

Not sure if it's related or not but my wifi on a Kanged version of CM9 is acting weird, disconnecting and saying out of range.
I tried this one first but it could just be the ROM I'm on.

Ok got it to work again, had to use Super Wipe Lite from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
after running the script flashed latest revolver and got wifi backup....
Same here, will try your suggestion below.
Edit: Had to run the wipe zip, reflash and boot into current rom and the restore a backup to get it working again. PITA But it works.

i would like to see MIUI V4 on tab, as it will be easier to port than 2.x was ^_^
New official CM9 nightly on get.cm. It boots!!! Gonna test it and report back in a bit.
EDIT1: Wifi works and was able to log into my Google account. Currently restoring my Titanium Backup and will test a bit more after that. Also, camera makes the tablet reboot on first launch, but works after that. Odd. More info to come.
EDIT2: Face unlock is there, but doesn't recognize my face, so I can't test it out. It couldn't recognize my face on my Nexus S 4G either. Maybe my face is just derped up. Anyway, there is nothing that I could tell that is broken. Even the MicroSD mounted with no issue. I don't have a keyboard dock to test it out, otherwise I would. Games and videos both work fine.

Official CM12 nightly released

The nightlies have just been released for all your AOSP needs.

Very happy with this news. Trying to find out what is broken considering this is the first release.
Now I am ready to unlock BL. Any guides how to make DRM backup? Or restoring DRM etc? I heard they're lost forever.

Yep, you can't backup the DRM keys, but you won't know the difference if you follow the guide to restore DRM functions (camera etc...)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/drm-function-restore-t2995798
Note: you have to modify updater-script in the zip if you want to use with MultiROM or non-CM recovery..
They use "z3" to detect device, but actually it should be "leo"...
If someone can contact to CM team, please tell them to change it.
What are the know issues of the nightlies known so far? I know that RIL now works thanks to David_vaz, but are there any major issues or just random reboots/bugs?
No reboots whatsoever, one thing that is bothering me is I can't play YouTube in 720p & 1080p.. Other than that it's awesome.. Smooth as silk

They choose to use "z3", because Leo was codename of HTC HD2.

Hmm oh ya the luminosity issue.. It's kinda messy but it's okay for me. The home button is working very well right here.. I haven't had any issues with the navigation bar. I have the d6653 variant.. The YouTube casting works as it should..
BTW I think you should flash this Rom with cwm recovery instead of flashing it with twrp to avoid some issues

I know, but it's just a problem for managing and they can avoid it like "leo (z3)".
Also, there is no download for HTC HD2 although there is device tree for it...

They should use "leo" to detect device since it is codename for our device.
It will create futile confusion for devs.

I saw you installed the David Vaz CM build.. Does the flashing using CWM still apply? Or is it fixed with the official CM Nightlies?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm just trying to pinpoint the problems with it before jumping the ship and rooting.. I originally planned on waiting for either the official Lollipop build from Sony, or for the Locked Bootloader exploit to come around.. but if theres a build of CM that seems to be not too many issues with, I might jump the ship

I'm not with AT&T but I can make and receive calls, except that if I don't enter the area code when dialing, the phone app crashes. I can still call even if the app crashed. Other than that, so far so good.
Edit: There's a time bug also as blackroseMD1 said.
Seems like it has the time bug too, where the clock will fall behind by minutes or hours (or freeze completely) after the phone has been put down for a while. Unfortunately that's a killer bug since it messes with alarms.

I am on AT&T and I was having the same issue on another rom. I believe it is because the roms are based off of the international version of the phone. I've only seen VOLTE work on the AT&T stock rom. To fix this I just called customer care and had them de-provision my line for VOLTE.

Many of the custom Roms support VoLTE. Ice does for sure and I think LeeDroid and ViperOne do too.

Try going into Developer Options and then going to "Select USB Configuration". Usually changing that to Audio Device and then back to MTP makes the internal SD show up on my PC.

I have not tested CM13 yet... how does it look like? are there still a lot of missing things?

JuSt rooted my phone (PB1 locked bootlader) what is the best ROM available to me?

I know it is a subjective question but what would you recommend? I'm hoping phoenix ROM becomes available to me. My main reason for rooting was to delete all of the Verizon and Samsung bloatware, but now I am interested in custom roms. Thanks a lot!
I'm on Phoenix ROM right now and it's really great, battery life is awful on Phoenix though so I'm considering going back to VanirAOSP

If you do not mind being on a 5.0 rom, OptimalROM has amazing battery life and is extremely stable. Viper4Android works on it 9/10 times where other ROMs have a success rate of around 6/10 (I have noticed significant abnormal status on other ROMs in comparison). If you are into Xposed, also works just fine. All S5 features work- including call recording, fingerprint, etc. I have yet to find a bug other than the S Health heart-rate bug (which was present in the stock ROM at the time).

Latest ROM advice- most stable Nougat?

Hi all,
Looked around forum but can't find up to date recommendations...
I'm looking to take the plunge into custom, non-stock-based roms and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good ROM that is totally bug free, preferably Nougat?
Thanks in advance :highfive:

I beg to differ!
What I mean is: a ROM that is as stable as and has same functionality as the stock ROM ( though I am aware that I lose DRM features with UB).

But all of nought roms almost share same bugs that some users reports
I myself didn't have a single problem using Carbon,LOS,RR
but as i said carbon is the most updated

Well, yeah, but why?
It's rather odd it disappeared with no notice, the thread closed, and the image files removed.
Almost as if something nasty was happening behind the scenes
Im still using the latest version of it, and i really have no reason to change since it works great.
But im left wondering if i should change because they may be something nefarious in the code or something similar?
I've been pondering the same thing.
Currently I'm on the 23.5.A.1.291 version, it works but is vulnerable to some of the exploits which have surfaced since that was built by Sony.
I use the Sony SBH54 bluetooth headset with it, if I go for a custom ROM I suspect I might have some problems with it. It mostly works now but isn't bug free by any stretch of the imagination, it will lose connection and reconnect as it pleases. Most irritating.
If I go down the unlocked bootloader path I'll lose the DRM _stuff_ for the camera but I've not got a good idea of how much difference that makes.
I've not run a custom ROM on my main phone, always on tablets and experimental things and none of them are Sony with it's extra quirks, I'm thinking the TA partition here.
How many of you use non-stock on your primary devices?
What problems do you encounter?
On my tablet I've lost data a few times as I've tried something which didn't work, I don't want that to happen on my phone!
