[Q] CM 10.1 - 20121227 Nightly - Home Screen Bar

Good evening. Lastnight I updated my system to the latest CM - CM10.1-20121227 Nightly. Everything went smooth except an odd occurance is happening now. I noticed after the reboot, that all my 'favoriates' that I put on the home page bar (sorry new to N7 and not sure the proper name) disappeared, so I remade them and went about my business. Today after logging in, I noticed that they are gone again, so remade them and they seemed to stay put this time. But I just logged in again (after not using the tablet for about 4hrs) and yup you guessed it, they are gone! The only thing that stays on the bar is of course the 'button' that brings up the apps/widgets screen. So, what am I missing here? After the last 3 updates, I've never ran into this problem. Sorry for the noobish question, just new to the scene. Thanks in advance...

Are you talking about the 5ish icons at the bottom of the launcher? If you are, I think this is caused by a bug in the default launcher (see the comments at the bottom of this page http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28994/ ). There are quite a bit of changes getting committed to trebuchet, and when using nightly builds, you are the beta tester. You can install a different launcher that has been tested by more people and is considered stable.

@Gianptune - Yes, the '5ish icons' at the bottom of the page. I knew after researching CM, that any nightly builds would be ' as is ' because they are considered work in progress, but I have CM selected to only notify me of when a 'stable' build is avail. Thanks for the link and can you tell me, or recommend a popular launcher to use? Did not know that you could replace that one. (BTW that link was broken on this puters IE). Thaks again

Nova launcher

Awsome thanks much ...

Hi all,
Not to hijack the thread, its almost the same topic i would guess...
I was running 12.22.12 nightly, i think, and all was well until i updated to the 27th. that when i noticed problems with the shortcuts at the bottom as well. Tried to flash back to previous version and noticed that I lost the quick settings pull down (upper right, opposite of the notification pull down)
I have tried to flash every single CM10.1 i can find and not a single one would bring it back.
Has anyone ran in to that?
thanks

I had this issue going to 12/27 too. I did not have it happen on today's nightly however.

That's strange, on CM10.1 thread someone just reported it with latest build.
I dont know why, but when i install 12/15 unofficial CM10.1 build, the pull down is not available as well, yet i had that build for several days two weeks ago and everything worked fine.
basically any CM build i install does not have the pull down. only if i restore my backup of the stock rom it comes back.

[Guide] Newbie to Epic 4G Cyanogen - Common problems solved

Hello,
I am writing this to help other newbies who may want to switch to Cyanogen for the first time on their Epic 4G. There were a few things I needed to do after to get everything working the way I liked and I figure this will save some people time.
What do I need to do prior?
There are many how-to's which will help but I had my Epic stock rom rooted so it was as simple as flashing cyanogen through recovery. Here is the link for a "how-to" root the stock rom if you wish to do it this way. It was the easiest way for me though the official guide says "Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9eaCtiS0Bo​
Where do I get Cyanogen?:
You can download it here. I am running the 10.0.0 stable build.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Epicmtd_Info​
I have no google apps:
This is a problem with any Cyanogen installation. Easy fix, download & install the gaaps package from the link below and your marketplace will be back.
http://goo.im/gapps​
I don’t have Navigation:
Easy fix again, download the google maps app. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLm1hcHMiXQ..​
I don’t have voicemail:
While you can use any voicemail app I wanted the one I had on the stock rom. I linked the app below and your voicemail will be back as soon as you install it. You need to open the app after so that it will activate.
https://od.lk/d/MjRfMjc2MDY5MF8/vtt-sprint.apk​
I am getting texts from 9016 every time I get a voicemail:
From reading it seems the stock rom blocks us from seeing these but they are in fact needed for voicemail to work. To fix this I used a free app called “RedList”. Simply add 9016 to the RedList within the app, change the settings to disable both notifications, and this will problem will be solved. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5saW5ub3IuUmVkTGlzdCJd​
Text messages no longer have separate colors for me and my recipient:
The stock android text display is white and I hated this after getting used to Samsung’s nice colors but luckily you can solve this in two ways.
(One) A theme manager is built into the interface section of your settings page. After searching through almost every free CM10 theme I found this one I liked. It does NOT touch too many things only adding a brushed metal look and displaying text messages how I wanted them. There are a few colors to choose from but I went with Blue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992980
(Two) Replace only the MMS app with one that is color coded. Please note that unlike the above, to reverse this down the road you will need to find a stock mms app package with an installer. This is good for people who are sure they want this and only wish to change the colors of the messenger, while the above is good for people who like to switch themes often being able to revert back at any second. Link for the colored mms app.

Morror: https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDY5MV8​
Facebook pictures no longer sync with my existing contacts:
This is a small problem, but still one that I got used to having with the stock rom and wanted to correct. From reading this seems to be a problem related to later Android versions, not just Cyanogen. The fix for this is easy as well, search out a free app called “UberSync for Facebook”. I had the regular facebook app installed & logged in prior and UberSync logged right in, got the pictures, and updated my contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.​
I no longer have Swype:
Despite having the nice physical keyboard (the whole reason I got the Epic) I still got used to using Swype here or there. I don't think I will be allowed to link this file here but you can find it on "certain" sites.​
Notes:
Despite reports that Bluetooth can be problematic, I use it daily with an earpiece and have yet to experience any issues. GPS & 4G also work great. If any links are broken send me a PM! I check my email daily.​

Get rid of the dropbox download links. Those are absolutely horrible when posting a guide for others to use.

Why are they so bad? The bring you right to the download and I won't be deleting these files from my dropbox. Much better IMO than dealing with one of those sites where you have to wait 45 seconds for a download link to appear in a sea of other spam download buttons.

Well...
No MD5/SHA1 to compare against to make sure you have a complete download.
People's dropbox tends to get too much traffic and the link becomes dead.
You basically cut out the original author(s) of the file.
Based off # 3: They could need the ad revenue, and/or want to track download activity if they're self-hosting.

I know this isn't directed at me, but the things I have on my box account are older things( Samsung Moment update tool), things I've done for myself, or things that I've found for other people. In other words, things many people don't care about.

#1 - I think more people are concerned with a working link, if they download the archive after and it somehow gets corrupted i'm sure they will just try again
#2 - Valid point though my files don't have a great enough of demand to warrant this. If this changes I will change my links.
#3 The only thing that wasn't mine with a dropbox link was the MMS app and I only mirrored it in case the original link were ever taken down. If it will make you happy I can include the original link as well. For the voice mail app, its simply the sprint one ripped from a stock rom.
Though your points are valid, I think you are sort of just being picky bud

Thanks for the VM download link. Only thing I want is task manager which I had installed on CM9. Is there stockish one that works for 10?

Try the flashable one from here

swype
I reinstalled swype 3 or 4 times with various upgrades and it would always "expire" and I'd have to figure out how to get it working again. I am running 10.1 RC5 now and it has a decent generic swype-ish virtual keyboard. The thing missing is that you can't finish your text and go back and fix any misspelled words by touching alternate suggestions. You have to catch them as they come up. It seems like at first I could still do that, but I can't figure out how to get the suggestions to come back up.
I'm over swype.

Just flashed CyanogenMod 10.1... is there any built in overclocking?
I installed SetCPU and it won't step above 1000 MHz.

You need a different Kernel. I have been using didy's kernel for a while. You flash CM10.1 and then you flash the kernel. CM10.1 has its own kernel that overwrites what you flash. So when you update, i think you have to reflash the kernel. I haven't screwed around with it since I installed rc5. I think I did CM, then the kernel, then the big mem patch. I never was able to figure out how to update the radio. I always ended up with "no voice service" or worse.
There is a thread in the developer forum that has the links to the kernel downloads. I am running one from may 30 and haven't updated.

[KERNEL][CM10.1]Nitest Kernel for Crespo4G/Epic4G Modem with Voodoo Sound&Color
When you say you couldn't update the radio, you just mean the cell service radio, right? Not wifi? I don't have cell service on my Epic, so that wouldn't be a problem for me... just as long as the wifi radio still works
Also, what specifically do you mean by "or worse"?

Yeah. That's the one. I looked at my about phone and it said "didy".
I saw a thread about the nexus radio being hot **** and I fooled around with it. I got either "no voice service" or no nuthin. I was able to flash back to the regular epic radio. there is another thread that had all the flashable zips with different modems. luckily the epic one undid my stupidity - at least on my phone.

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. CM10.1 is running pretty smoothly on my phone, but it could be better and battery life is not an issue for me.
I'll be sure to run backups before I do though :good:

Thanks
These tips helped - I just made the jump to CM 10.1, and although there are a few quirks it has been great. Your list really helped.
FYI, one thing I ran into was the auto-rotate didn't work. I followed the directions here:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
the first time, there was no change. I tried again (and calibrated like 6 times) and it worked.
Has anyone noticed the physical keyboard doesn't always work the same? In some places, you have to hold down shift or Fn while pressing the key you want (for example - hold shift while pressing A, rather then pressing shift then pressing A). It's not consistent - some inputs work like the keyboard did before. Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this. Not the worst thing (I'm just glad I still have a physical keyboard), but I would prefer it work the way it did before, or if that's not possible, at least be consistent.
And the smiley face button on the physical keyboard doesn't work either. I mean, it's like 2005 where I have to type out my 's!!

any phantom voicemail fix?

phantom voicemails?

I have noticed that the physical keyboard doesn't work right in the browser. Shift and Fn don't seem to work. I am usually in such a hurry that I just close it up and use the virtual keyboard if I want to have punctuation. It honestly didn't occur to me that it might be fixed. I can't offer that fix. I am just offering emotional support and validation.:good:

I noticed that the default browser you have to hold the shift or fn key while pressing the desired key to get it to work. Apps and os seem to work with a tap od these keys and then a hit of the desired key.I recall a while back a thread about the smiley and since it was not a default key the consensus was that they would not be adding the functionality to cm. While on the topic...same goes with the .com function.

Halo option NOT showing in Paranoid

I have the latest version of Paranoid Android installed on my Nexus 4 and for some strange reason, the option to turn on Halo isn't in the notification shade. It's weird because I have a version of PA installed on my GS4 and it works just fine - like it should. Am I missing something? I've spent hours looking through the settings app/reinstalling different versions of PA on the N4... I really want Halo.

Are you sure its not already on? In the new version it hides itself so that only around 10% of it is visible. Its sometimes hard to see.

110% positive. When I pull down the notification shade, I don't even have the blue circle to enable/disable Halo. I know what you're talking about though, as I'm familiar with Halo from my GS4.

Ok, I gotta ask just in case.
When you say "latest" version of Paranoid Android, which version is that? The latest stable version (3.15) does NOT have Halo in it.
The version with Halo in it is 3.60, it's a development version, inside the "dev" folder in their download links, here.

[Q] Does Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro) have multiwindow ?

Hey guys, so I would just like to start off by saying I am new to this rom (coming from CM11) and one feature I heard about and was looking forward to trying was the multiwindow feature. However, when I go to recent application and try long pressing to get the option it's no where to be found? I have the latest omnirom update for the Verizon galaxy nexus and I'm not sure if there is something extra I missed or might have to do somewhere in the settings to enable multi window ? If anyone knows the answer to this problem it would really help. Thanks to anyone who replies.

Multiwindow is still a WIP, so it doesn't come by default. You'd either have to add it and compile yourself, or find an unofficial build with it already in. That, or wait.

Aosp dialer on tw

I like the aosp dialer. I have searched both xda and Internet to find out how i can get it on my phone with stock rom. I have tried to push Google dialer and contacts to system. I can install them but i can't use them because of fc.
Anyone with a idea or something that could help..?

You can move to aosp rom
AFAIK TW is too deep in the system, I think it is not possible without breaking something. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes i it is deep, therefore I didn't delete Samsung's dialer...etc. I am actually on aosp now. But sometimes I need s-pen, gear menager...

I think most of those random reboot issues are gone. I am on Slim rom, Lean kernel, and did not have any issues for weeks. It all depends if you are using 'nightlies', which might be unstable, or official releases. Every rom has official 'stable' release once in a while. Stick to that and you will not have any issues. If you install slim rom, go with weekly 7.9, not the latest 8.0 (new release, although stable, you should probably wait for 8.1 or 8.2). If you go with cyanogen, install M10 release. On top of that you might want to use stable kernel, such as lean kernel, for additional speed and battery life.

I will try it. Actually maybe I have tried it before. I guess reboot problems causes by bluetooth. It happens when I connect it to my car. Not always but often.
Btw, i have also a problem that exists in every aosp/cm rom. You know when you tap and hold an app from app drewer you have two options on the top of screen. One is app info and the other is uninstall. After a few reboots the options disapper. You can still move the icon to the top and choose one of options even these options are unvisiable.
Any help?

I don't use bluetooth, so I can not tell. As for the icon problem, never seen that before, but it is definitely related to the launcher. Which one were you using, stock, trebuchet, or nova? Slim comes with nova and doesn't have such issues.
