Frequently Asked Questions
[Last updated on 03/01/12]
Q: I downloaded the latest CM9 build, but [XXX] isn't working!
A: Search! Search the CM9 threads, search Google, but for the love of God - please first search for the answer! If you did, and could not find it, you have three options:
1) Read this, it might very well answer your question.
2) Check out the live support chat But search first.
3) Go here and ask your question. But search first. Did I mention you should search first? You should search first.
In any case, if your question or query is not directly related to development, please do NOT post in the development section!
Q: I can't connect my phone to my PC! What can I do?
A: This is a known issue. There are several ways you go around this - either by downloading to your PC a program called Droid Explorer, or by downloading any of the wi-fi file transfer apps on the market.
Q: When I start up the Superuser app, it crashes! What do I do?
A: Users are reporting success by searching for Superuser updater on the Market, installing it, and forcing an upgrade.
Q: I can't buy apps from my phone! What can I do?
A: This is a known bug. The only way to buy apps right now is through your home computer. Refunding is reported working on the phone, though.
Q: When I download a big app from the market, I get an error message! What can I do?
A: This is a known bug. Nothing can currently be done about it, unless you already downloaded the app and have it backed up. In that case, there is an advanced work around that you can find by searching the CM9 threads.
Q: I heard Codeworkx got a Galaxy Nexus, is he going to stop supporting the Galaxy SII?
A: Nope, not currently. Actually, it means he can use his Nexus for day to day use, and only focus on development on his GSII. This is in our favor.
Q: I found and downloaded an ICS ROM by Airbus360, I heard its better than CM9, is that true?
A: Apparently, Airbus360 simply took what the CM team has been building, added a few useless lines of code (read: they don't do anything), and claimed that its faster. He also pretty much claims to be doing most of the hard work when in fact, he isn't adding much of anything.
If you have anymore frequently asked questions to add, please PM me and I'll add them as quickly as possible.
Thanks
To all the devs who put in the time and effort to make our phones shine.
To Stylez and Conantroutman, for their continuous support in managing this thread.
To Matriak for keeping the community up to date while he could.
To everyone who post updates here while I am away.
Note: If any updates come through between 21:30 - 05:00 UTC, they will not be reflected here because I will most likely be sleeping

That is 100% fake dude, No screenshots, and nothing, as well only 3 people commented yet.

Also found that blogpost. And it is said to be reposted from xda-developers. FAKE! Moreover, that source should be disputed for publishing misleading info hiding behind xda-developers. "I rewrite this tutorial from forum.xda-developers.com : " starts every post.

MIX FAQ

Hello Everyone,
In preparation for getting a MIX, I've gone through every single thread and compiled a quick reference page. I'll update it as I find out anything new.
I've posted it here:
http://lishutterbug.com/mimix/
If there are any corrections/additions/suggestions, please let me know. I hope this will avoid some stuff being posted over and over.
I'll note that I don't actually have the MIX yet, so I can't verify all of the steps I put in.

Is the build server stuck or down at the moment?

The following link is an official status checker for the primary Lineage servers. If you scroll down, you'll find previous dates with the status for them. It looks like 2 days ago there was an issue reported in the system.

Are you not able to download anything right now?

This URL shows the same four ROMs building and had not moved since yesterday. The queue seems stuck. I was looking forward to trying the Amoled burn feature.

That and the https://www.cmxlog.com are not official Lineage sites and is not endorsed by Lineage either.
This was a clarification made in response to an inquiry/message that I had sent a while ago by a few of the Official LineageOS Developers.
Those 2 websites just take the information from a few Lineage source locations and restructure them to display it in the way you can see on those links.
The LineageOS Developers stated that the Changelog is reflected at the top of the devices download page.
For example, if you had a kltevzw (Samsung Galaxy S5 - Verizon) device, the top of the "https://download.lineageos.org/kltevzw" page, you'll find a link labeled "Show all merged changes for kltevzw".
If you selected that link, you'll see all the changes that were both specific for that device as well as those that applied to 2 or more devices which included the device in question.
Then for further information regarding a specific change, you can select that change and the link will take you to the Official Gerrit website for the LineageOS with all the information regarding that change (and its everything from the developer who made the change to the lead Lineage team member who approved it and much much more).
This has been a, very brief, lesson regarding the Official Lineage Changelog 101... LMAO!
I hope i had explained this okay via text...

TWRP Available For OnePlus 8

[Mod Edit] Link removed as explained in announcement
Seems that TWRP is available for OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro. I can't read Chinese but it seems to work fairly well based on another user's post on XDA and on the OnePlus forums.

not on TWRP site...not real...

Hi everyone. I'm closing this one for an involuntary GPLv3 violation. More info: [Mandatory] XDA-Developers and the GPL
We understand that this is a helpful share but until we see the source code of these Chinese TWRP releases, we're keeping all links away from XDA. This is merely a precaution that benefits the security of our users. We would also like to avoid getting in trouble with the utmost respected Team Win Thank you for understanding. Useful feedback is welcome via PM.
