Snapshot build is nowhere near the stability of the nightly versions. I have flashed every single nightly nightly build posted, and they have all been great. They do not feel like experimental builds whatsoever. Lots of little fixes have been merged into the nightly versions that were not not present in the snapshot.

If you really want the best stability, any one of the nightlies(especially the past few) will make you a very happy camper. There is truly

nothing

special about the snapshot, so all this hype about getting someone to post a link to is pretty silly. I promise :-)

Go for it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twilightvanquisher:
i was gonna post something like this too. the snapshot is still in alpha stage, which means its not any more "stable" than the nightlies. if the snapshot was in RC stage, then i could see concern with stability but right now the nightlies are actually all upgrades to what the first snapshot is. the extra features and merges that the last few nightlies have are worth flashing them over the snapshot atm.

personally even back when cm7 was first out, i always flashed the newest nightlies even after a new RC was released because they always had new features and are just an expansion of something stable.

Let's just settle this now and go with the official word.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twilightvanquisher:
when reading how they describe a nightly, i just have to say, i disagree and thats all i can say. I have never had an issue with a nightly being unstable unless it was just one maybe 1 new feature that hadn't had the kinks worked out yet. it says they exist parallel to the RCs, and its my opinion that they run just like the latest RC with minor bugs on new features and tweaks. but considering that we do not have an RC on this phone yet, i would say that the nightlies are probably more stable than an alpha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
So youre disagreeing with CM's own descriptions of their own build tags?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtogami:
There isn't agreement within CM with those descriptions. Many things about how CM defines things do not match what actually happens in reality. It is a work in progress.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
So far the nightlies have been very stable but as they are test builds just to see if it will compile they can have bugs. On previous devices I've experienced some buggy nightlies that were troublesome to use as a daily and nightlies that were just unusable. Going forward there will be times where nightly builds will be problematic and builds like what we're experiencing now that are fairly rock solid and everything in between. Just keep in mind that nightlies will not receive official support so we rely on peer-to-peer help will any issues that show up but in most cases any issues are usually cleared up in a build or two but there will be times where an issue can go un-addressed for several weeks. Just don't expect every nightly to be as smooth as what we've experienced so far especially as new features are added.

Compass issues.

I popped into the IRC channel a little while ago and talked about how the compass was broken. It was suggested that I do a complete flash back to stock and report back. Trying to document as best as I can:

1. Complete flash back to stock under "[ACS] Return to stock" thread in this forum, used the first big link for FC12 Stock .tar (md5: 638d9b052b45396be345727ec0eedd64), which curiously is linked to "http://www.shabbypenguin.com/ACS/devices/Samsung/Sprint/GNexus/Stock/FC12/code_i9250xxsph-l700fd01.tar" and not *fd12.tar, like the mirror links to.

2. First reboot, downloaded Catch.com's Compass, compass works.

3. Baseband version lists as L700.05 V.FD01 / L700.FD02. I had previously flashed "toroplus_full_radios-FD02" a while ago.

4. Used Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v6.1, did option 7 for "all in one," though bootloader was already unlocked. Powered off, powered on, compass still works.

5. Copied over backed up zips, etc, flashed "toroplus_full_radios-FD02," rebooted. Compass still works. For kicks, updated to latest Google Maps, and Compass still works, GPS locks, location is correct. Baseband version lists L700.05 V.FD02 / L700.FD02.

6. Wiped system/cache/Dalvik & did factory reset. Flashed latest CM9 nightly (20120509-NIGHTLY-toroplus), GApps (20120429-signed), rebooted. AAAAND compass is broken again, as before.

Hope this gives you guys some information for a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
This has been my experience as well. The broken compass isn't a deal breaker though. It is an annoyance if you use apps like Sky Map.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
For me the compass has only been off when stationary but correct when in motion. That's been my experience with Google Maps.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
When stationary, the phone relies on the Compass sensors, but while moving it's using the GPS data to tell which direction you are headed/going. Like I said, it's not really a deal breaker, especially for things like navigation, but for apps that require accurate compass readings it's an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtogami:
Is compass working properly for anyone with CM9 stock?

If you go back to AOSP, does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peabody42:
All I know is that flashing back to stock as detailed in previous post fixed it. 8/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblank0:
I Flashed stock just to see if compass was working properly on stock and it sure was. Flashed back to cm9 and its not working right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
If you really want to see how haywire the compass is install google sky map. You can see that program struggling to point itself in the right direction but something is fighting it.

Launcher Settings not in 5/13 nightly?

Is any one else not seeing the launcher settings any longer?

I know in the changelogs its stated:

Use preferences from default launcher

Add a new category "com.cyanogenmod.category.LAUNCHER_PREFERENCES"

which should be added to a launchers preference activity manifest.

Then the "Launcher" button will link to the default launcher's

preferences screen.

Change-Id: I53ce6393e151995a54a252690da0113082ea39a4

But I dont see any settings any longer? Is this just me or is everyone missing this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Are you into System Settings? Like this? They're under Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acedooncoon:
Ok so this is the 2nd time this has happened to me...it happened with Sundays Nightly and now with todays Nightly....

When I try to flash the newer Nightly it says:

E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-9-20120513-NIGHTLY(bad)

Installation aborted.

Is this just me? If so what can or do I do about this?

The funny thing is I can flash Saturdays release with no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bdonjuan:
Thats where it was in the previous nightly but now I am missing the launcher settings in the current nightly (5/13) that I flashed this morning .

Are you on 5/13?

If so do you think i should do a reflash or redownload?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I'm actually on a Kang from 5/12 right now so not sure. But you haven't changed launchers or made any other mods?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
There is something you can flash on virtually any CM9 rom called " ICS Reloaded" that opens up all kinds of themeing options for you - including modifying the navigation menu - this program lets you change colors throughout - or use 'standard ICS" settings - I have flashed this on both of the CM9 roms that have been released for the GNEX and had no issues of any kind.

you can find more by going here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531222

I personally wasn't comfortable with changing colors -but I found the things that were most important to me like the navigaiton menu - (I really miss having the ablity to launch settings from the menu so that is one thing I added)

For those that want to take the time and go thru al of the various options - the number of things you can 'theme yourself" are pretty impressive.

Good luck

I hope this helps

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
So nice to have CM9 back again! (Coming from the NS4G) Only issues I've noticed is the "battery usage information unavailable" and that it doesn't give you the option of restoring apps and settings from your Google account and doesn't allow you to select a Google account to use as a backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtogami:
Haven't seen the battery usage problem. There is some talk that the latest gapps broke the google backup thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Like this.

Yours doesn't look like that?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Stock. Only flashed ROM and 4/22 Gapps.

I'm not saying it is the kernel but there are a few out if you want to give them a try to see if they work better for you.

I have the same battery stats issue as he described
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CruzECO13:
Is everyone having this "battery usage data not available" issue?? Or is it more of a hit and miss??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
It's an inconsequential problem. I used CM9 on my NS4G and preferred the stock kernel over others so I'll probably stick with stock for now. I have already purchased Ezskeel's, Franco's, and Morfic's apps tho, as a show of appreciation for their excellent work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patass:
ihave the battery usage thing too, wouldnt have noticed if it werent for the thread though. Also earlier today I got "cannot connect to camera" that a reboot fixed. Fine otherwise, might try the ICS reloaded thing later.

Oh, yeah. I use navigation as my main gps, and I have a USB car charger rated at 1.2 amps. The nexus discharged 6% on a 20 minute drive while plugged in. I read it wont take more than .5 amps from a USB ports, and you can fix it with a kernel or app or something. I tihnk it's called enable fast charge? Any tips on what to do?

wipe?

can i just wipe cache/dalvik without doing system coming from the Kang version of CM9 in this forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
You can make a nandroid and try but officially you should do a full wipe. If you experience any problems don't report them until you've wiped and flashed again or we will laugh at you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsolo1717:
Ha! no doubt. Let's see how this goes. Have any recommendations on returning all my apps without individually putting 128 apps back on after doing a full wipe?

If you have "Backup My data" and "Automatic restore" checked under "Backup & Reset" in settings you shouldn't have an issue.

If its been checked, your apps should backup during new rom setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Going back to stock fixes it for me, but flashing CM9 breaks again.

Stock rooted and CM9 nightlies/snapshots are the only setups I've had on this device. Has anyone noticed this funky Compass behavior on AOKP, Apex, or any other ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
Could be a bad download. Did you check the MD5?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acedooncoon:
I've download the others from the same place I always download them. Im not sure what that MD5 is. Although I have seen it b4. what do I do with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griemster1:
Last 2 nightly downloads won't finish downloading. I tried from my phone and computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
I've tried them all here and its the same for all of them. I've tried em all with all the different kernels. Only fix is to restore the nandroid of my stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
So you're saying the compass is broken on these other ROMs as well? Are these other ROMs based on CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acedooncoon:
I still cant seem to update to the new nightlies...every time I try 2 flash it say its "Bad" and Ive downloaded them from to different locations. I dont understand whats wrong.....b4 I flash I wipe Cache..is that sumthing I shouldnt be doing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcusva79:
Just like redneck said it could be a bad download. Give it a while and see if it works. Buildbot must be having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] umbra6:
Both CM7 and AOKP. I personally think it has something to do with the kernels being used in the ROMs. I'd like to try the stock kernel and see what happens with the compass. How do we extract the stock kernel out of the stock rom to test?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattallica76:
Just use ROM Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Acedooncoon:
I tired Rom Manager and it gave the same outcome....and actually it was worse because it wiped everything...good thing I had a backup from Friday otherwise I would have been very upset...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lnchbx13:
I have had an issue like that before where the first time i tried to flash the file it gave me the error and then I tried it a second or third time directly after and it worked. Maybe try multiple times if it doesn't work the first time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JBabey:
Only issue other than the compass that I don't use, is that the "Bluetooth Share" service errors every time i connect to my car. It still works fine, but the pop-up error is really annoying. I've tried fixing permissions and updating to the latest nightlies but still error ><

You must be running the 5/12 nightly still because the "Launcher" option is gone from today's release.

why did they do that? im running 13 and i noticed that as well what the heck? i dont like having 5 screens i want 3 thats one of the primary reasons why i went from stock to cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twilightvanquisher:
thanks for posting the screen shot i was about to do the same. yeah the 5/13 build has no launcher settings, tho im hoping its just a bug and will be fixed tomorrow. normally i use apex launcher but it doesnt change color with themes like the stock one does, so i've reverted back to that but now i cant even customize it.

Revert back to the 0512 nightly, just because a nightly was released doesn't mean it is better than previous. Nightlies are test build that are automated.

Fd02 the fixed ones from wtogami. But it works fine on my main router.. pulling 28mbps on my main router. I have two to compensate the terrible signal range on ics.

Guess I need a new one that and my Ethernet cable is borked...so it must just be my fault.... what's weird is my epic and my laptop pull the 28mbps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twilightvanquisher:
while true, the newest nightly does have the merge for power option theming for theme chooser. so i'll wait til tomorrow to see what happens, either way its not the end of the world, was just curious if it got moved somewhere i couldnt find or if it was just gone.

After a while it would stop downloading again and then I would pause it..and so on and so forth. Yes it was annoying, and I dunno why it was doing that...but that's what I had to do.

As of the 5/14 nightly, Cyanogen has it set up now so that the "Launcher" option in Settings is tied to your default launcher. Yes, the Launcher settings are back in the main settings menu again, but only if your default launcher is compatible with the new mod. For example, Nova Launcher just updated today with that compatibility. Here is the changelog from today's Nova Launcher update-

"What's in this version:

Unread counts via TeslaUnread (Prime)

New Gestures: Rotate Clockwise, Rotate CCW, and Double-tap (Prime)

Support for selecting icon from Go Launcher icon packs

Set default screen by dragging checkmark on preview screen

Hide scroll indicator

"Reverse" wallpaper scrolling mode

Animation/Scroll speed preferences

Show Recent Apps Nova Action

Support for Cyanogenmod nightlies "Launcher" setting

Misc fixes"

Saw in another thread someone suggesting compass worked with stock kernel.

Anyone here running cm9 with a working compass? If so, which kernel are you running? Trying to see if that's the cause/fix.

Tried stock cm9, on Franco, no dice.
