CM11 Vs Latest CM12 Bacon Nigthly - ONE General

Hey, i just want to know your opinions about why is better CM11S or why is better the latest CM12 Bacon Nightly ( cm-12-20150128-NIGHTLY-bacon)

I'm not trying to be a spoiler, but seriously, when it's so easy to do a nandroid backup and flash CM12, why not just try it? The only slight hassle is having to flash the old firmware if you decide to go back, but even that's not hard if you know how to use fasboot / recovery / flash ROMs.
And to answer your question, it's better because it's Lollipop, a step forward.
Bottom line: there is only one way for you to know.

As the above post said try it but myself i went back to cm11 as i tried every cm12 rom plus different kernals and my device would still be awake in wakelock app went back to mahdi rom with ak kernal and all good. still early stages for cm12 and cant wait to go back but will wait for a while

Your problems have nothing to do with the cm12 nightlies "early stage".
Using cm12 since unofficial builds in december. There were some problems,
but not the battery life. It is the same as on cm11 for me.

Thats good news for you but since going back to cm11 my device goes deep sleep im happy

I use official CM12 nightlies with stock kernel and no mods. I dirty flash, but clear cache / ART cache with every nightly.

Official CM12 Nightlies with stock kernel.
If you ask me ALL kernels are overrated in terms of battery life, but that is just my opinion (after some testing).
It is funny though how some users with custom kernels are undervolting and underclocking their
devices and yet never achieve the same battery life I get with all stock.
Some even claim that there device is more fluid than stock with kernel x or y. :laugh:
If you are into multirom or perhaps display color calibration then sure, a custom kernel is the way to go.
btw, I don't use greenify, I don't block play services wake permissions, I don't use the facebook app.

Tnx for both your replys I've always used cm 12 with custom kernels. Will try with stock and see how it goes

I reverted back to stock 44S after trying CM12 in Nov, was too unstable back then. Seems people are getting stable experience from CM12 now, think I am gonna flashing it later today
Thanks all!

I've gone from 11s to 12 to 11 again. Cm12 is stable but does have a few annoying bugs. The one that annoyed me the most was the audio buzzing bug. Many say enable the phone to always have 2 cores on, but that never fixed my issue. Buzzing always happened. Then there was the proximity issue which van be fixed by flashing a new firmware and modem but my phone doesn't take the modem. Lost lte and signal kept dropping every 3 minutes. Also had an issue when I was in a call, I often was a unable to hear the person. Only had to enable speaker and then Disable it again. That was the icing on the cake so I went back to cm11s. Now here I can say that battery life is almost identical. Just ever so slightly better on lollipop for me. The system is not as smooth specially with scrolling. I have scroll lag on instagram and Facebook again (minimal but noticeable) system, for a stock rom, isn't really too stable. Had the phone crash on me and when I turned it back on, it asked me to re set up the device but data was still in tac. So yeah. That's pretty much it.

Have tried CM12 nightly, and back to 44s because one game that I like didn't run smooth . I think ART cause this, been trying on CM12 unofficial builds also, same result. Maybe the game hasn't updated for lollipop yet.

JT's last build (19 August) had zero issues for me. Last night I dirty-flashed to the 8-23 nightly (after wiping caches) and all is well including app installs with market.

is anyone running the nightly on a alt carrier ?
if so can i get a link to the fix
The wifi reception on the 8/24 nightly with devil kernel 1.2.1 is not as strong as on ths ics build 15 with devil 1.1.3
Smoother than ics, but doesn't feel quite as fast.
What CWM are people using. I was running 7.2 and tried flashing while CWM 3 was installed, it rebooted in CWM 6 and it said it installed fine, but im stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen for like 10 minutes...
also is there a way to turn a ROM ZIP file into something I can use Odin to flash it with? I can get into recovery, but I dont ahve a mini USB reader to install a new ROM on.
I was running build 15 teamhacksung ICS, then went to 8/24 build CM10.. cleared all cache, etc, installed cleanly. Loved jelly bean, but it's still very half baked, not usable as an every day phone.
Just went back to CM9 nightly, into which teamhacksung ICS was rolled into today, and everything is nice and quick again. will go back to CM10 when the bugs are worked out.

Really?? 8/24 nightly and all of Jt's builds before that worked great. Very snappy and I've had zero problems. I haven't been back to ICS since probably JT's second build. The nightlies or paranoid android are what I use now daily, and I haven't had a bug problem in quite some time.
I'm been on CM10 8/19 nightly since it dropped. Everything works. I use it heavily for work and personal.
I've put off updating my ROM to another nightly, because it takes me a hour or two to get everything restored back the way I want it. Seems you really do need to do both wipes and a cache flush, then flash ROM, then latest JB apps, to assure best results. I've tried cutting corners twice, and both times, it's bit me in the ass.
Kind of hoping they'll hit a "stable" point on the nightlies soon, and I'll catch up then. I ran CM9 happily for about a month, but I'm so pleased with the additional smoothness, stability and additional features of JB, I haven't looked back since I switched.

Strange, I have the exact opposite experience. I install everything clean, never cut corners.. CM10 seems to have some memory leak.. it start out really beautiful and smooth.. within hours, it's not usable. CM9 remains stable for days in a row, so i'm back to that for a while.
I've been using the nightly CM-10 builds since 8/23. What's the consensus? If I want to flash to the latest build, do I need to wipe the data and cache?
Thanks!

That's been my experience, and the thing holding me back from upgrading right now. Definitely going to flash to the latest by this weekend, to see if there are any changes/improvements.
I'm just glad I haven't experienced any memory-leak type behavior. I will admit, though, that I've had it do the "sleep of death" thing twice in ~2 weeks. It may have come back to life on it's own, but I was impatient and pulled the battery in both instances.
is anybody else not able to send mms ?

I've done a couple of flashes without wiping the data or cache with no ill effect.
Flashed the 9.1.12 CM10 nightly this morning. Only wiped Dalvik cache, nothing else. Kept all my apps/settings. Everything but Google Music was working great, so I flashed the GApps again, went into Play, uninstalled/reinstalled Music, and everything works now.
GPS locks in pretty quickly in GMaps and all of my GApp and 3rd party apps are working normally.
If this continues to be stable, I'll be more likely to flash more nightlies, with fewer days between upgrades.
phone call static
Has anyone experienced static when making phone calls. I was using the 8/26 build and everyone that I called complained that they couldn't understand me because there was a lot of static. I flashed the 9/1 build and I get the samething but a little worst. Other than the static everything is working great.

No static here... I've been running the cm10 nightlies (stock kernel) for about a week without any issues. I updated to the 09-04 build last night after just wiping cache and dalvik, along with a test kernel that JT posted yesterday that's designed to provide a bit more power to the radio in order to maybe fix the intermittent loss of data. So far so good.
One thing - I've had some issues after experimenting with using link2sd (a great tool) to move various apps to /system to save precious space on /data. It seems that after moving Google maps; voice; Gmail; and similar core apps to system, play store reports update after update for the apps I've moved.

i was running SC3 milestone 2 (gingerbread).
i odin'd to stock EH03 then rooted it.
tried flashing the CM10 ROM via CWM recovery 2.5.1.x (red), 3.0.0.5 (blue), and 3.0.0.8 (yellow). they all abort saying that there is an error on the .zip file.
any suggestions?
edit: followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070; stock GB -> THS ICS -> JB. yay!
Anyone else notice that auto brightness isn't working, or maybe it's just me? Using the 9/10 nightly.
Edit: Seems to be working now, before I had all -1's in the light sensor levels but now I'm getting actual values.

[Q] freezes on 4.4.2 custom roms / kernels

on the latest d802 4.4.2 custom roms and kernels i get a lot of freezes.
it will freeze in the middle of an animation and will take some seconds up to some minutes and then working normal again.
sometimes i have to hard-reboot to get out of freeze / lag.
on older 4.4.2 slimroms i never had this behavior, only since some weeks with new roms / kernels.
i`ve tried every rom / kernel combo but sooner or later i will get a freeze again.
could a revert to stock and re-rooting / flashing custom rom maybe a solution? i`m afraid to do this because of the long time to backup my 32gb data.
what are your experiences with the latest 4.4.2 roms and kernels? did you find a solution for this with any combo or fixes?
help would be appreciated.

The only thing I can say is I own the VS980 version of the device and i've tried every single 4.4 rom offered on this sight and have the same issue with all. Most of the time i'm using the device and it freezes, sometimes reboots, and sometimes comes out of it after a few minutes. Also not being able to wake the device only seeing a black screen and forced to hard reboot device. 4.3 seems to be a much better with these issues but not completely solved for me. I'm hoping the release of 4.4 source from lg will fix these issues but i'm unsure. So at least your not alone in these problems lol. I've tried multiple kernels and governors etc. Bumping up the min freq on the cpu seems to help and changing to interactive governor but doesn't eliminate the issue just help. I thought my next move would be to use lg flash tool and update to latest firmware reroot and install cwm.

i think i will do the same today after work. hopefully this helps.
the better option would be to stay some days on stock rom to ensure there is no hardware defect. but i can`t stand stock so this would be a hard route! ^_^

Yea unfortunately it seems very common among these devices so i'm pretty confident it's a software issue although i'm not 100% sure of that. I ran a flex rom for a few days on 4.2.2 and didn't have any of the same issues.
added a poll as a matter of interest.
omni-ROM, Mokee rom, vanir rom etc.freezing problem still continues.
Using CM11 (4.4.2) for 5 days with zero freezes so far.. note that this is on D800, not 802.

Yes, stock cm kernel.
I'm thinking back now and it did freeze once when first signing into the Google account immediately after flashing the ROM, but nothing after that. So.. nearly spotless
Nice! Maybe they are getting the issues ironed out. Haven't been on cm11 for a week or so since it was the worst with freezes for me. I'll have to give it another shot.

Best of luck! To be specific, I'm using the snapshot release of cm11... still don't trust the nightly releases
i did a lg flash tool stock restore, factory reset and OTA updates. now the freezes did not come back until now *knock on wood*.
when i did a backup of the sd there was one corrupt media file which was not able to transfer.
maybe the media scanner did go crazy and was the reason for the freezes.
using cm11 m3 on my d802... very little freezes compared to previous nightlies, fingers crossed

CM11 M4 snapshot.

Anyone try this yet? Impressions?
Sent from my Nook HD CM11.
I tried it last night. I flashed over the 3-6 nightly and had many force closes and network issues. I did not try and do a clean flash.
On an attempt to just hit update and go it got stuck in a reboot loop. Attempting a clean install results in network seen but not connecting. Rolling back to 10.1.3.
Edit now it seems no matter what version I try installing networking is hosed. I feel kinda stupid here guys.
Edit: Had to go through reflashing cwm-5 the m4 rom, gapps, and all that as if I wee going from 10.2 rather than update 'just working' Most annoyed.
I should have left well enough lone. I had installed the 3/8 nightly and it was working great.
Then I saw the 3/8 snapshot and decided to install it.
The Snapshot seems to be no good. It throws errors when logging in and I also lost WiFi.
I have re-installed the 3/8 Nightly and am a happy camper again.
In fairness leaving well enough alone would have left you with B&N's stock environment. We tinker, it's what we do.
I gave this a shot myself and got a bunch of fc's. Went back to the last nightly. From what I heard the M should be more stable so much for that.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I updated from 01/18 to the M4 and it has been very stable.
See http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items for important considerations in switching between the two branches snapshot/stable and nightlies of CM11. The blog explains why going from some of the most recent nightlies to M4 might be a downgrade and as such can cause the problems reported above.
I don't know if I just have bad luck (or a bad device), but I haven't had a single official CM11 build without random reboots and screen flashing / flickering. Anyone else here?
You should not flash the m4 if your nightly is newer than 20140308 otherwise you will get FC's.

Not true.
M4 was taken from the nightly branch on 2/28. If you have flashed a nightly to your device newer than 2/28, you will be downgrading if you flash M4 afterwards - resulting in unpredictable results.
Based on this thread, the results will be WiFi issues and possible boot issues.
If you want to switch to the monthly builds, do not take anymore nightly builds, and wait until April to take the M5. If you want to stick with the nightly s, then do not flash the monthly's.

need to do wipe data/factory reset and not restore the old data. otherwise, "android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly" for me.
I guess I got lucky. I dirty flashed m4 over 10.1.3 stable and everything is running perfectly. I wasn't expecting it, but m4 is much speedier than 10.1.3, only downside is battery life seems to be not as good.
Beware!
There was a post I found a while back on the official Cyanogemod site that went into details about Nightlies, Milestones, Release Candidates, and Stable Releases. What would be most important for users of CM11 at this time which was explained in the post is that you either stick with updating from nightly to nightly OR milestone to milestone. If you're on a nightly and you update to a milestone snapshot, you risk damaging and messing up the OS. Vice-versa as well and should also apply to RCs and Stables. Nightlies are bleeding edge and have the latest code while a milestone snapshot is more stable, but has older cold. So going from nightly to milestone snapshot would be one heck of a messy downgrade.

[Q] last fast (really) android version?

ok, we have a nexus, so we deserve updates and we have them....that's why we bought a nexus no?....
yes....but every update is a hit for our device's performance...I thought that last one would fix performance issues, but is not .
so...I bought one of these to my gf, sure that it would work well, I owned one a year ago and it was very good! nope....is slow, lags, remembers me a 100$ cheap tablet.
I considered to downgrade....is frustrating...what version do you remember as stunning fast, like a nexus should be?
4.1? damn, is too 2012-ish....
4.2? old but at least we have tiles on notification drawer...
4.3? good, some performance goodies, hw vsync...
4.4? I thought this would be the best choice because in theory is optimised for 512mb ram devices too....but was not performing well
5.0? don't say nothing...pff
I also read about f2fs as a revolution, but is not my tablet and my gf uses it for study and I can't take it to test...
thanks for reading and answering
My 2012 Nexus 7 (wifi) I had been on Android 4.4.4 when I updated to Android 5.0 using Wugs nexus root tool kit.
It had been sluggish on Kit Kat, but got more so when I went to Lollipop, even with a full wipe.
After about a week on 5.0 I rolled back to Android 4.3, and have been happy since.
Everyone is having different experiences and mine personally is that 5.0 is running greater for me then 4.4.4. That was with a complete full wipe (including data) when I flashed the image through wugs toolkit. There were initially bouts of lag (waking up screen, lock screen, etc) but the lags pretty much gone bar a few occasions. 5.0.1 will hopefully make the system more stable and not repeat what happened with 4.4.4 because my n7 ran like a pig after that update.

No words about f2fs?
I have just updated my n7 to Slim rom 5.0.1.
I have been frustrated by not being able to read a simple email using gmail application. Lags, lags, and "gmail is not responding do you want to close it"
I need to have two accounts for me and my wife, so the performance was even more slow.
Now with f2fs it is a rocket. I have installed every toolvI wanted and now also the Godfire game, and I must admit that it was a hit.
So thank you google to slow our machines to force buying the new ones, but my nexus7 from 2012 acts lighning fast now.

No, I don't have it. I just asked is there slim lollipop on f2fs, because I tried rastapop and SleamFreak which are on 5.0 and have f2fs support, but I had problems like rebooting, problem with installing new apps, etc.
So for now, till I get answer from user emmyhi, I back to slimkat KK which run fantastic on our Nexus 7.

I will try an evening every factory image and a kk f2fs rom to see which one performs better...then I'll let you know!
I'm running stock rooted 4.4.4 kitkat on mine with Lean Kernel 4.1. No lag, no issues with apps not working like on 5.0. Good battery life ,watched over 5 hours of movies last night and still had 49% left from a full charge. Standby time is excellent, I've only lost 2% over the last 9 hours.

I'm running stock rooted 4.4.4 kitkat on mine with Lean Kernel 4.1. No lag, no issues with apps not working like on 5.0. Good battery life ,watched over 5 hours of movies last night and still had 49% left from a full charge. Standby time is excellent, I've only lost 2% over the last 9 hours.

that stock one with f2fs?
No, not here. Pure stock, rooted 4.4.4 KitKat. Removed a few Google apps I don't use, but still ext4. Lean Kennel really make a difference.
and....after a flashing afternoon....
4.2.2 stock was damn fast....
4.3 stock was even faster and smoother than 4.2.2
4.4 was worse......got better with lean kernel, but wasn't just fast and responsive enough.
the winner is....4.3......that's what I left on my gf's tablet....
everything runs good, apps opening instantly, look much 2013 but google launcher and google keyboard help...
this is my suggestion after my tests. good luck and hope next LP ota will fix some performance issues, not only on this one but for every phone which got slower with this update

CPU Cores Stuck At Max

Anyone have anything similar happen?
On OOS 10.5.13 rooted with Magisk stable 20.4.
Tested on several kernels, same results.
A reboot fixes this temporarily but eventually will go back to max. Any help would be appreciated!
What kernel are you using?
What ROM?
Are you in performance mode?

Currently on blu_spark, also happens on Kiri, and Franken
Running stock OOS
No performance mode enabled

For how long stuck on this frequency?
Just flash stock boot img

So it's not going to be anything to do with the ROM. I'm on 10.5.12 UK which is the same as 13 in your region.
Honestly, I'm on xXx and rooted.
Just don't flash the kernel tweaks..
Just go with the stock kernel.. performance seems to be the emphasis on all of the custom kernels yet battery doesn't..
This is a side effect of it..
The reason it's been inherited between kernels is because there are values or even a few changes which haven't reverted.
You may even need to reinstall the OS. Unless you can isolate the changes causing it..just saying. Maybe quicker.

It stays stuck permanently. Rebooting helps for a short while but then it goes back.
Yeah I haven't tried stock yet but something tells me it's not kernel related, but possibly some app or module.

I don't have any kernel tweaks installed, just a couple of Magisk modules like systemless hosts for AdAway, fonts, and BusyBox.
Having trouble isolating the issue so I may need to wipe and start fresh. Just thought maybe a user here had a similar experience and could tell me what caused it for them so I can fix it myself.
Appreciate the responses!
Welcome mate, tbh though I don't shouldn't say you need a kernel for performance.
Maybe battery life but tbh the stock kernel does a decent enough job..if you do wipe, I wouldn't bother with custom kernels.
The performance is defined there already.

Yeah I just try to find a more lightweight kernel where OnePlus' debugging is removed. Maybe the difference is not noticeable in performance/day to day use so I guess for me it's more of a OCD thing lol
I mainly only like high brightness mode in terms of kernel features. Otherwise I get about the same battery results with every kernel, which is 11%-15% drain per hour.
As for this CPU issue, it's been flawless all day. I'm trying my hardest to stress test the device to see what exactly triggers it. If it remains fine throughout the night and by morning, I guess I saved myself a couple of hours for wiping and getting my setup back!
Will keep this thread posted if I ever manage to find the culprit.
Did you end up finding the culprit? I'm facing the exact same problem. I'm on stock 10.5.13 global, stock kernel. Rooted with magisk 20.4, No mods except for youtube vanced and adaway. Any help is appreciate Ed.

Unfortunately no, however I don't have the issue anymore after switching to Omega Kernel.
I'm not trying to say the kernel I was previously on caused the issue, and that Omega resolved it; just saying that's the only change I made and now my CPU cores are behaving normally and haven't given me problems since.
Maybe try playing around with custom kernels yourself? Also check for what apps you have chosen not to be battery optimized, could be a potential culprit as well.

I flashed omega kernel like you suggested, and the problem just went away. It's been three days now with omega and everything has been great so far. Thanks again!

Which app you used to check the cpu cores?

EX Kernel Manager.
Issue came back just last night...frustrating. Noticed battery life was going fast, might need to factory reset at this point.

Mine hasn't come back yet, everything is still good thankfully. I'm still on omega. I just can't wrap my brain around this one. And no one else seem to be experiencing this problem.. I searched high and low on this forum, believe me. You and I are the only ones reporting this so far i think.

Yup, seems like it.
Might bite the bullet and reset this thing when I get some time this week.
Update on this issue:
Ended up factory resetting shortly after I originally posted this and everything is working as normal!
Switched to the Pixel 5 though, so will not be keeping an eye on this thread any longer. If anyone else experiences this, seems like a factory reset will do the trick if all else fails! Just install everything back one by one to ensure it's not an app or mod causing it.
