Question about nightly updates and Gapps bootloops. - Omni Q&A

Recently updated my old Nexus 10/Manta to OmniROM 6.0.1 and I couldn't be happier. I had a fair bit of messing around on the first try until I got the sequence right...full wipe, flash ROM, flash Gapps pico and everything works REALLY well.
However, installing nightly updates is the same for me as the initial flash...I have to do a full wipe or I get the Google Services loop.
Am i doing something wrong is that how nightlies work currently?
Thanks.

Anyone? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Still looking for help. Thanks.

CM10 Nightlies for Fascinate!

Just noticed that fascinatemtd is finally being included on the CM10 nightlies! I've been following the Jelly Bro roms up to last week. Although I've been using it as my daily driver, I'm looking forward to even more stability.

I couldn't get the market to download any apps on 8/22. 7/26 gapps. Wiped all three coming from Jt's newest build. Tried twice.

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] Paranoid Android 2.99 & Gapps

Sadly, since I'm a new user I can't post this in the Nexus 7 Android Development forum so I'm posting it here.
Simply, what version of Gapps should I be using with Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta 3? Whenever I install the ROM with the latest version of Gapps available on their site it will boot but go into a "crash loop" as Gapps attempts to set up my Nexus 7.
If I install the ROM without Gapps it boots just fine. However, I don't have access to Play Store, etc...
Please point me in the direction of the proper version of Gapps.

The package you install is for JB. For 4.2 you need the new one or you will get boot loop. Google it.

Omg thank you... I've been trying to flash gapps on pa 2.99 but nothing worked.
well on the OP it states that to look for those with JB in it.
That confused the hell. Out of many ppl
Its been posted multiple times in the PA thread as of late.

is there a way to delete some of the useless gapps before flashing? I just want maps and google playstore.
Hello there, just wanted to clarify - when I upgrade to a newer version of PA, I reckon it is also necessary to update the gapps, right? If so, when dirty flashing, should I just wipe the cache and install proper version of the gapps after flashing the ROM or is factory reset required? Thanks for any advice.

Just cache and dalvik. Factory reset would only be necessary if they made substantial changes to the rom base.

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.

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.
srry for dis messy post btw qq

[Q] Nexus 7 2012 not updating after flash

Hello all,
I am fairly new to rooting so please bare with me, I'll keep this short since I know I screwed up big time. I have a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.2.1, I rooted it no problem. My issue is that I had the cyanogen mod rom and the gapps that I wanted to flash but couldn't flash the cyanogen, so I flashed the gapps. Needless to say..now google doesn't work (youtube, gmail, etc.). Tried to restore, but it keeps doing the same thing and it won't update at all. Still running the stock recovery and just wanted to know how to fix this problem so that I can eventually get on android 4.4.4.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, but I tried that and once it comes back up I still get the "Unfortunately, Gmail, Youtube, Google Play Music, & Text-to-Speech has stopped." Should I try to manually update to 4.3, I read that I can't get to 4.4 without being on the earlier version.
Flash the stock gapps.

[CM 13 122715 unoffcl] Setup Wizard Loop after upgrading to May 25 Nightly and Gapps

After upgrading to the newest 25 May nightly I've got a pop-up that play store has stopped working, so clearly a gapps fail. Checked and saw that there were new gapps (May 25) so I dirty flashed them (without cleaning cache). And then I fell into the loop. I panicked and rolled to the May 22 Nightly to see if there was any change but it was the same, so I hope I didn't mess something up with this stupid move. Anyway, is there a way I can continue using my gapps without full factory wipe and without reinstalling the ROM?

They just tweeted there was an issue with 5/25 nightlies and gapps just reinstall gapps I guess, I don't use CM so that's all I can say.

Okay, thank you! After all the mess I had done though, will I be alright with just installing the new nightly update when it comes out?
