UNOFFICIAL FAQ FOR CM10.1/10.2
DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
Q: Where’s the download?A: The initial FXP release had an incorrect kernel – you can download a working version of ROM from here. http://d-h.st/TPT
This ROM has since been updated a download can be located here. http://d-h.st/i3V
If you wish to try a CM10.2 (that’s Jelly Bean 4.3 – have Sony actually released a 4.3 ROM yet?) one can be downloaded from the link above.You can also download the correct version of GAPPS for Jelly Bean 4.3 here. http://brintaylor.info/Android/CM/gapps/
For the CM10.2 build you should use this link to report bugs. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/185s...9UINQ/viewform
Uberlaggydarwin plans to take a 'light touch' approach to support via XDA, so don't necessarily expect an answer to a query if you post in this thread
It seems like FXP have delayed releasing for our device for now, but information about CM builds that are being actively supported and developed can be found in this thread for now.
Q: How do I install?
A: You need an unlocked bootloader and an installed recovery. BACK UP your current ROM to your external SD card. Put the ROM and GAPPS on your external SD card. Boot into your recovery, do the necessary wipes, flash the ROM, flash GAPPS, reboot, victory. Disclaimer: if it breaks your phone, it’s your fault.
Q: Do I need to install the supplied kernel before installing the ROM?
A: No, unlike older xperia models CWM is able to flash both the kernel and the ROM at the same time. There is no need to use fastboot or flashtools to flash the kernel first, just a working recovery and an unlocked bootloader on your phone.
Q: Can I use another kernel instead?
A: No, for now only the supplied kernel will work.
Q: I’ve installed the ROM but can’t find the play store?
A: Immediately after installing the ROM you should install the 4.2.2 version of GAPPS (Google Apps) – this installs the play store and several other applications that Google regard as essential to the Android experience. This can be found here – http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Q: How do I update to the latest version of the ROM?
A: Once you’ve downloaded the latest version to your SD card, boot into recovery. No need to wipe your data, though you probably should wipe cache and dalvik cache (I don’t know whether this is done automatically as part of the installation but it can’t do any harm). You don’t need to install GAPPS again as this is a firmware update, not a new installation.
However if you’re moving between versions i.e. 10.1 to 10.2 you should definitely do a factory reset – the ROM may well work fine without a data wipe, but it may not and any problems might not be immediately noticeable (making bug tracking difficult). I would advise you NOT to report bugs if you’ve moved between android versions without a factory reset.
Q: When will they release a version that works on a locked bootloader?
A: Never. Some the features of the ROM simply won’t work very well/at all on a stock kernel. If you are rooted you can simulate some of the features with apps and mods though.
POST-INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
Q: I’ve installed the ROM – I can use Titanium Backup to reinstall all my apps right?
A: Yes and no. They may work fine, they might not – you are better off letting Google’s back up service restore all your apps. If you restore an app using Titanium or similar software and it’s buggy, there’s no point reporting it – re-install the app instead, perhaps even the ROM.
Q: 4G isn’t working – what do I do?
A: It’s not enabled by default on CM10.1 so you must do the following.
Go to the dialpad/phone.
Dial in the this number: *#*#4636#*#* (This will bring up "Phone info").
Tap WCDMA from under "Set preferred network type".
Select "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)".
The 4G LTE network should now be activated.
Q:Where’s USB mass storage?
A: After ICS Google stopped including it in their Android builds, as such mass storage mode is not a feature that was kept by CM for Jelly Bean. Individual manufacturers do what they want though, which is why Sony, Samsung and others still have it. Skilled modders may be able to add to ROMS based on this development, I reckon they might be able to patch this one to include it too
Q: This ROM is buggy as hell and drains my battery – how do I let the developers know?
A: Logcat and/or a kernel log - or it didn’t happen for bugs.
Better battery stats for battery drain.
There are lots of guides out there showing you how to take logs and how to record battery stats.
Anecdote – I activated Google+ yesterday as I like the auto-photo upload feature but wakelock detector revealed it was killing my battery (I think it’s dodgy on stock too). The choice was the app or the ROM, I chose the ROM.
Q: After installation something random doesn’t work – what do I do?
A: Check the thread to see if other users have mentioned the issue and to see if the developer has posted a solution. Also, you’re on XDA, you’re an advanced user, you have unlocked your bootloader, thrown out your warranty and accepted the consequences. So please try to resolve the issue yourself. In general if you are having a problem and no one else is, it will be a problem with your phone/download/installation.
Phone - obviously a hardware fault can't be foreseen by the developer and have you unlocked your bootloader!
Download - Most downloads are fine. But I've flashed enough ROMS to know that sometimes a file gets corrupted and sometimes they say they are complete when they are not. Sometimes I've been careless and clicked on the wrong download, sometimes the website hosting the site is haveing a a bad day, sometimes the developer puts the download in the wrong place too The first things to check are the name and size of the file - if these tally you're probably fine to install. If you want to be extra cautious you can check the MD5 hash to see if your download matches. Sometimes the file gets corrupted on upload - nothing anyone can do about that...
Installation - (Please back up your orignal ROM). Typically you'll be installing this ROM using a recovery from another ROM/kernel/MOD - so if you have problems installing , it might be that you have a bad recovery.
The wipes really need to be done to ensure the smooth running of your phone, but as you've backed up, the 15 seconds you spend properly wiping should not be much of a chore.
If you're one of the first downloaders, I guess there is some merit in saying you couldn't install, but if it's been out for a while and there are loads of posts saying 'what a great ROM' there's little point posting 'won't install'. Describe exactly what you've done and someone might help.
Bear in mind there are apps/hardware that the developers of this ROM won’t have heard of/care about - so if something doesn’t work properly on your phone it could be for numerous reasons. Either way, this may be something you have to live with. Alternatively, if the app is essential to you, you’ll have to return to a backup.
Remember this ROM is in development, there are no promises of perfection and no one is forcing you to use it. However, the right kind of feedback is always welcomed by the developers and may be acted on – the wrong kind will often be ignored.
Q: What does a perfect bug report look like?
A: Go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46935640&postcount=313
Q: What are the known bugs?
A: FM radio doesn’t work.
A: Attempts to offline charge cause the phone to boot.
A: 4G activation is not remembered between boots for CM10.1.
A: For 10.2 there is a known battery drain issue related to WiFi. See the solution here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46923723&postcount=301
The following issues have been reported by some users, but others say it doesn’t affect them. They are regarded as hardware issues – anecdotal ‘me too’ posts will be ignored. However, supply a log and your phone’s date of manufacture and the developer may look into it (this might help you prove that your phone is faulty, so it’s a worthwhile exercise).
Erratic touch screen response.
Reading external SD Card in recovery and in use.
As others have said this is possibly the most stable first CM build they’ve encountered and I agree – it’s definitely suitable for daily use. I've been using it from release and haven't had a single reboot/app crash or freeze.

Its cm for our phone right?!??

Thanks for sharing. I saw yesterday in the changelog that both 10.1 and 10.2 where announced on FXP 242 (10.1 in beta and 10.2 in alpha), but I can't find the 10.2 download anywhere.
Maybe they don't publish public download links for alpha versions ?

Flashed and booted. Its nice. But some screen flickering while scrolling. Like in settings etc etc. But that can resolve with enable the " Disable Hardware Overlay" option from Developer Settings

What about performance ? Can you run antutu bench ? how much is free / used RAM ? etc.
thanks

Are mirrors allowed? Can somebody mirror this file? Im sorry but uploaded has failed me several times already...

Screen Flicker
Hi @Rajeev
I didn't experience screen flickering at ALL in ANY test builds so I find this really difficult to believe but I'm happy to take a detailed look at it ..
Log's plus video(so I can see what you mean) would be useful so I can get this possible ?issue? and if it is an issue then I'll get it resolved.
None whatsoever for me so this is a really weird issue....
Thanks

I have the flickering too ! And the phone often soft freezes. Seems like the app isnt updated anymore on screen. It can also be just the keyboard for example. Hiting recent tasks unfreezes it but systemui sometimes freezes until reboot.

LOG"S OR IT DIDN"T HAPPEN . I'm serious.
I'm downloading this release to test but I can't help much if you don't provide logs.
Are you sure its not auto-brightness being turned on as auto-brightness doesn't work very well in stock so the changes are probably more noticeable.
Reboots work perfectly fine for me..
On the recent test builds I haven't had a reboot issue but as you know the kernel is temporary so I'll redo it when 4.3 comes out....
WE NEED LOGS.

FYI, people still suffering from the OTA updater freezing mid-verify, mid-download or mid-patch, we've found a lot of way how it didn't get fixed Putting the sdcard handling code in debug mode gets rid of the problem, but obviously we don't want to do that in production, eh!

General probs I have with Rom
_
I would love to use this rom as my daily driver but due to some issues I have reverted to my previous setup slimsabre.
Phone gets very hot whilst charging - but charges at acceptable rate. I have replaced battery but still same.
Sometimes phone gets very hot even when not in use - I could not find any reason even looking at better batt stats and cpu spy - tried reinstalling rom and gapps only and this still happened - Phone would just become very hot to hold at some random time.
Any help on this appreciated as I do not know what is causing this.

having really bad battery drain.. using latest raw kernel.. any suggestions? maybe another supported kernel with better batterylife?

If you got the new battery cheap off eBay or similar it's a good chance that it's fake. I've had a couple of those, heating up to the point where you're afraid of damages.
Sent from my phone using some app

When I first installed Omni my phone stayed hot for ages. It turned out that Google+, which normally I do not use and have frozen on previous ROMs, was going absolutely nuts doing some sort of background sync and downloading truckloads of data. The app was running in the background for over an hour with the CPU cores pretty much maxed out. Maybe your problem is the same. Maybe not. Eventually G+ finished its evil work and the phone performance and temperature returned to normal.
I ran with the ROM for a few days and it seemed stable, but I've actually reverted to Samsung's latest stock ROM as KitKat really wasn't doing it for me. Basically I saw no tangible benefits but did lose some convenient features and interface changes were definitely a backward step with Omni. Maybe when it's matured and ART is working fully I'll take another run at it.

Omni kernel(with SD access) was only available after flashing ROM since 12th Dec nightly, so it depends what rom you're on right now. Or perhaps you flashed Raw Kernel over it?
I would advise you to do a clean install. There's no other kernel available right now for 4.4 But it should work.

i solved it by flashing the Google keyboard from the pa gapps thread.
rebooting the device after clearing the aosp keyboard data didn't work.
the Google keyboard has no difference over the aosp one but has a working gesture typing.
you could do that too
-download Google keyboard zip
-reboot to recovery
-flash the zip
-clear cache and dalvik cache
-reboot
-select Google keyboard from settings->language and input
done
hope it helps

Guys, a little confused here,
is openDelta already integrated into the 12/15 Nightly?
if so, then why is it trying to download the whole ROM?
I think the first time we use it, it Downloads the entire ROM and then the next time it checks hashes and then only downloads updated files...
please clarify, as I thought It only downlods changed files and checks hash for that.
thought downloading fails midway, tried almost 7-8 times now,
I already increased the screen time on to 30 minues, what else can I do to get it downloaded completely

Unhappy slow charging and poor battery life.. over heating while using mobile interne
First of all many thanks for developing such a good rom. everything is upto the mark the only critical issue i am facing is very very slow charging, and along with very poor battery life i am using build of 12-12-2013. i charge my phone to 100% (it takes almost 6hrs) and it drains within 1hr (normal usage). Also i tried with two other new batteries as well same issue.
And there is one more issue whenever we change the music (forward/play-pause) using headset screen automatically turns on. Screen also turns on automatically sometimes without going on anything.
Phone over heats while running multiple application or using internet
Screen brightness is way to high on automatic setting mode even though i adjusted it with the flux response settings, in the settings of phone.
Guys please help me out i don't know much abt anroid programming and bug fixing please.

For battery drain. Install better battery stats as system app (settings > advanced) which you can find on xda. Check which app and service is driving your phone nuts.

Best ROM for the P7000

We were supposed to get 5 different polished ROMs and, instead of that, we need to find our way to get a barely working phone.
Which is the most stable? Which is the most beautiful?

What's your deal? Taking so much bull**** that you need to spread it?

Right now I'm using MDS rom it's working good. Everything is working. Supersu is updated and xposed is too. I'm still having some visual problems but nothing to worry about... My album art work wasn't working on stock but it is on this ROM. They just took stock and made it better... I do have a question. Can you send me cm12.1 that I can flash in CWM. I can't get the tool to work for me.

look, the way you asked the question is how you got the first reponse. the same can be asked with you, whats your deal?
just calm down and let it go. keep it clean.
also what works for the other users might not work for you. so much hype around this phone and they didn't dissapoint-they market the item well and always sell half finished goods.
maybe the only good thing going for it is they "might" release source code which they should be doing any way so the community irons out the bugs.
they're trying a different approach with the P8000 saying we will give out the kernel source code blah blah blah developer friendly etc but i will wait and see. i tried for 3 weeks to get P7000 in flash sales. twice i had in my basket trying to check out and the price jumped from 159usd to 209usd by the time i checked out. i thought it was a sign, wait... wait until reviews and see if any shipping issues. i'm glad i did.
now to answer your question to the best of my ability...the stock rom is the only one that i know off that allows the fingerprint reader to work properly.
each of the other firmwares have their advantages and disadvantages.
XDA doesn't allow "best rom" threads but i understand where you are coming from.
are you looking in terms of stability or most working features?

look @ my signature, so far is the best rom, few bugs that needs to be iron out "other roms have not been updated recently"

@TopoX84
How did you get the Build 20150629? On the phone Wireless update it is Build 20150617 only?

Well, that's what it said on the ele flash app that they have on their website, if I check the settings it does states 20150617

The 20150629 release doesn't seem to be an official one, just a modded version of the 20150617 release.

Is there a English option for this rom?

Yes there is. Please test it and report back because I too am having problems with A2DP bluetooth audio and my car: only plays on the first try. If I close the app and open it again, it does not send any audio through.

A new version of the stock OS came in OTA. If you want to test it you have to reset to the stock rom and install the OTA update. It's way more fluid than the original, seriously for me it was day and night. I didn't get trouble with the photo and the new launcher is nice. It's still Android 5.0.

I'm assuming your mobile is a LG G2 D802
You should be able to go back to stock, I'm on a LG D802 you will find links to everything you need to do it here. Lollipop KDZ is preferred then you won't need a bootstack.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71085495&postcount=574
Lineage OS works for me, root is installed as a separate zip from the download page.
Don't take OTA updates from lineage OS until the OTA bug is fixed, do manual downloads until then

LineageOS is what I am using, it is working really well for me on D802. I didn't root it cause I have no need for it right now.

I'm not havining any issues other than battery drain when a webpage is using a lot of java script, so I now use opera to browse. I've also set most apps in privacy guard to either always ask for location or to disabled, I disable individually so if a system app really really has to have location and causes problems with the phone I know which one to enable. Battery is set to efficiency, .I've been on XDA for the last 15 mins, look at the attachment the battery life is really good, mind you I installed a new battery just before Xmas. WiFi is stable, LTE and h+ switch without problems. FM works with spiritf. You could always try open camera if snap doesn't cut it. I don't notice any major lag even on the efficiency setting.. Sound is the same as cm13 not as loud as we'd like. All in all no major problems. Until you do something I'm not of course lol

Create a backup so you can restore aicp
Update to TWRP 3.1.0-0
Clean flash latest official and gapps
Lineage doesn't have root out of the box if you want it go to the download page.at the bottom of the list of phones is 'extras' choose the arm zips one to install root one to remove it. Don't use super su.
Don't take OTA updates, the fix is still under test and not merged yet

Yep, we were meant to have a new build today but there's a problem with Jenkins and the builds have stopped.

I don't know what your original stock firmware was, if it was jellybean then expect problems kit kat should be OK lollipop advised as I said earlier
If you really need a lollipop bootstack then look at the cm13 thread, I used to use Daniel Stuarts bootstack on cm13

AL00 chinese version new firmware is out (B225) with one particular issue

Hi
I downloaded the b225 firmware 3-4 days ago and since then the battery from its over 5 hours average SOT has lost +20% of its power...
Has anyone else faced a similar issue after updating??!!
The old issues for me still not resolved :
Google now does not get activated by voice command
Whatsapp/telegram/etc social apps dont download latest messages unless the apps are open and running in background
Oh well....

I'm not facing the battery issue.
But the WhatsApp messages' auto receive failure persists.

Better battery life...

I upgraded from B213 to B225 and I've actually seen slight improvement in battery life overall. FYI, I use Brevent.
As for notification issues.. still there... no change since I bought the phone in December last year.

Interesting answers...
Thanks.
Will keep on monitoring battery...

Have you installed google framework to use push.
Test with the app PNF push.

Yes, Chinese version is updated frequently.
Additionally, it has call recording out-of-box and option to hide navigation keys
But there are some disadvantages too, like some specific problems with Google apps. I can't say that it is big problem, but in some cases it can broke your common way of using phone (navigation, Google assistant...). Yeah, it can be fixed, but you have to do something instead of gaining same in world roms.
There are also some bloatware with Chinese symbols which you have to disable or uninstall.
And Chinese version has tough algorithm to unload apps from memory, so user will get some problems with notifications. There is workaround to lock apps in memory. But it is another fix that you have to do manually in Chinese roms.
Anyway, you can try rebrand to Chinese rom, use it a few time, then back to US version or stay.
