I updated to latest nightly and did not have the issue for the last 6 hours (before, it would appear in minutes) I'll keep a spare launcher just in case it happens again. I'll shift launcher and see if the problem was that.

Also, another different "issue". Sometimes, when i boot up, the cyanogenmod boot animation is weirdly slow, like, for the "cyanogenmod" word to appear, it takes ten seconds, and so.... Like on slow motion. I get freaked out and force switch off, then switch back on and the issue is gone. Anyone else experiences the same issue? Not that it's something critical, but can be a signal of some bigger underlying issue..... Can't it?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GFXi0N:
The issue comes back eventually. I shift to another launcher, then back to trebuchet and it works again.

BTW, I thought I could use usb otg, and I actually got working a Kingston 16gb thumb drive. The problem is, if I use a USB adapter to plug a microsd card, the tablet won't notice it's plugged, like if it couldn't do usb otg. It happens with different size cards, I tried 8,16 and 32 Gb, and none of them work. Tested two otg cables and two different adapters. Am I doing anything wrong?

will cm11 ever fix lock screen rotation? having home screen locked in landscape and lock screen just reverts to portrait mode.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stephanes:
Use gravity box to enable this option.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dilldoe:
kinda sad that I need a 3rd party app to get a basic function back. cm11 was able to do this and then for some unknown reason it was gone.

build error

hi,

when i try to build the nightlies for grouper i get the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/asus/grouper/proprietary/btmacreader', needed by `/home/rod/android/system/out/target/product/grouper/obj/EXECUTABLES/btmacreader_intermediates/btmacreader'. Stop.​

there are proposed fixes like this one but i don't trust it. if it was right, it should be committed by now, right? can somebody tell me what's going on?

thank you!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] AndDiSa:
Most likely you do not have extracted / installed the proprietary files for the grouper device. You need to download them from the Google developer site or to extract them from a device and integrate them into your build environment.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Digidice:
Hey guys.

Thinking of installing the M9, is it the way to go or the nightly ?

I understand on some devices the nightly are more stable then the M builds.

This post says to use the M5, but i guess it is long since it have been updated.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] stephanes:
For me, M9 is so perfect. I get insane battery life and I have not found a single bug till now.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Digidice:
Sounds great, thanks man :good:
[Nexus 7 Original Development] n1kolaa:
there is no big update comming in nightilys im too using m9 :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Digidice:
Backed up my stock 4.4.4 now to OTG USB, it`s now or never :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
bluetooth?

i know someone posted...bluetooth does not turns on...M9...anyone having the same issue?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
no one reply or give feedback or confirm that bluetooth is broken on M9 version?

also can't stream tv nor movies using google play movies & tv app?

anyone having the same isssues on M9??
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
M9 is flawless on my N7, don't have any of your issues.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
very strange...and this is clean install....and having the issue...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Slim1023:
Been running M9 for a week or so. Everything was working great, but just yesterday my home button stopped working. It blinks when I tap it, but nothing happens. Thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
Delete cache + dalvik cache.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Slim1023:
That was the first thing I tried, but to no avail. It's weird that it was working fine for awhile then just stopped.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GFXi0N:
I experience still the slow boot up sometimes. It's like the cyanogenmod animation goes really slow and the system does not boot up. Looks kind of like the cpu being stuck at a very low speed or something. Happened before with nightlies, and still happens with m9. I wiped a couple of times already. Happens very randomly, like one time out of six bootups.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
I can confirm this....actually this long, slow boot up time was happening Purity ROM, SlimKat ROM,..etc. (probably all custom ROMs somehow based on the same source code)..only time fast boot up I observed was when I switch to stock ROM 4.4.4
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GFXi0N:
Did you permanently switch to stock? I'm kind of thinking about doing same with my Nexus 7, keeping cyanogenmod still on my Nexus 4, though.... Which were your main reasons for such change? Just a brief impression, not trying to start a debate here.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
well, custom ROMs are good, but sometimes not so great as far as performance goes - this is really personal opinion. most custom ROMs are also slimmed down version and based on Google's source code (AOSP, etc). For example, almost every custom ROMs require you to flash separate Gapps package, this is good and bad at the same time - because there's several different Gapps package out there and it is bit confusing for less experienced users. Of course, custom ROMs comes with great customization compare to stock limited customization. However, stock ROM is always stable if you ask me, it may not be the fastest ROM, stock ROM gets laggy, slow sometimes but stable at least...

That's why I always out there looking for new custom ROMs for N7, sometimes I just switch it back to stock ROM time to time.

[MENTION=4758472]jazzespresso[/MENTION] , [MENTION=2845551]GFXi0N[/MENTION] I'm using CM11/M9 with CM stock kernel and reboot is super fast. I don't use Gapps maybe that's your problem, it's really strange you've got it on so many different ROMs.

Why don't you try a fresh clean flash without Gapps just to test.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
a ROM without Gapps? of course it will boot fast...if you remove many other system apps, it will fly too....but removing all apps, and leaving minimal apps, then what's the point of having tablet in first place :p
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
You're kidding right? Do you realise your comment isn't an informed one right? Do you know how many people is leaving Google stuff?!

Gapps aren't system if you don't install them, Android don't need it to work. You have many alternatives around to choose and I assure you my tablet experience is way better without Google's trash. Your turtle N7 just proves it and your lack of privacy is your bonus.

Try to read a little more right here on Xda and you'll learn a lot, like be humble and learn from others experience.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] rockknee:
I guess his point was more like "if there is zero apps installed and nothing on /system partition it's pretty obvious that your device will be smooth"

But I believe too Gapps to be the cause of that lagginess mentioned above...or just some certain gapps package
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
No, he was questioning the usefulness of our tablet without Gapps, mocking about my advice. I respect who still use them but can't accept elitist comments, reminds me Apple fanboys.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Buggster:
I thinks he is saying that an tablet needs to fly with all the programs you need on it.

Also needs to be said that google apps and facebook hog an fair amount of power,

ram and cpu with all there hidden background features and services.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
I guess you guys not getting me what I was trying to say, and I am not going into detail - no offend please. You can use your tablet without Google apps or any other apps whatever you wish...it is all up to you....heck you can just install Android OS only and use just like ebook reader and show your friends how fast your tablet is how smooth CM11 is...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
... only proving what I've been saying from the start, the culprit here IS GAPPS not CM. Once again I'm telling you, I can easily replace ALL Google apps with more robust, privacy concerned and system friendly alternatives, stop saying my system is limited to basic stuff like ebook reading. It's you how can't accept the fact that your system laziness will always be related to Gapps. Accept it or leave it.

Once and for all try to understand with this basic examples:

- do you like to keep using your Gmail? It's your problem, but use it with k-9 or Aqua Mail.

- do you really want to keep using your YouTube account? Go on, but instead of YouTube app opt for Viral or PlayTube.

Google framework is worst each day, bad for system speed, bad for system privacy, bad for Android open coded from previous days. My examples don't need this stupid framework consuming precious resources and give me the exact, or even more, bells and whistles.

And this is my last post about this matter. Sorry all for these of topic posts.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GFXi0N:
Yeah, but looking for alternatives to Google framework could seem like a waste of time to others. I like Google framework, I know I sacrifice privacy, but I win cloud sync, Google now assistant, and the apps directly from Google, which work best with their services, which I use on a daily basis. I guess it's just bound to Android itself, heck, it's developed by Google, then, released as open source.... Saying the tablet works better without any app, for me, is like claiming that if you remove your wheels from your car, you won't have any accident. But this is just two ways of seeing android.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

And don't get me wrong, I've been there, I tried it and I didn't like it. I tested and tried with alternatives and i saw myself in a sea of apps that don't take full advantage of Google framework, wasting time and effort in the process. That is, I think, worse than the couple of bugs I talked about earlier. But as I said, just a different point of view than you have. :)

Don't get me wrong, this is not a rant. Just trying to clarify things.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Buggster:
Freedom and privacy take effort and thus not for everybody...
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:
Fully agree, but then is unfair to blame CyanogenMod for others mistakes.

Hey guys..

cant seem to figure this one out... My youtube app (google version) isnt working at all... whenever i try to load it, it force quits... then if i try again, it reboots my tablet... i cant even use youtube in the browser, does the same thing, reboots my tablet...

anyone have any ideas?

I have tried to delete, uninstall, wipe data on the app, everything
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jazzespresso:
First;

get the catlog app, run it on the background, and open youtube again, when it forecse quits, switch to catlog app and see why it failed...

Second;

a few people here suggested and recommended to not use Gapps all together, you may ask them if they have youtube replacement of their recomendation too..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] sancho_panzer:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] c_86:
Hey guys

thanks for the suggestions but i figured it out late last night

so i wiped and reloaded everything, trying to figure out what was going on...

as soon as it loaded, it youtube was working fine... i restored my apps, and set everything up, then it started force closing again and rebooting the tablet...

Then i thought to myself, maybe the theme is some how messing with it, because nothing else that i restored would mess with youtube in any way...

So i turned the system theme back on and rebooted, voila... youtube app working again...

So the Android L theme i have been using on the tablet is what was causing the issue... which is odd, because i am using the same theme on my nexus 5 without any issues at all...

Oh well, its been figured out... thank you everyone!
[Nexus 7 Original Development] GFXi0N:
OK! I managed to get a logcat while the "slow bootup bug" was happening: I can confirm the CPU gets stuck at 486 Mhz. I waited for the bootup process to finish, then went to performance, and saw this was the current speed of the CPU.

Here's a txt file with all the dupm from bootup until shutdown (Pastebin didn't let me upload it, sorry) https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzyvhavdx46qtef/n7SlowBoot.txt?dl=0

PVZ2

Just a quick check,,

Has anyone else been getting a black screen on PvZ2 on CM11?

Just reinstalled it after finding my TB backup and just get nothing.

Im sure it was working on 4.3. Tried the ole Goggling and found a few cases but never any definitive answers or fixes.

Ill try MultiRomming a 4.3 ROM over the weekend but thought Id check first.

I have a tilipia but wanted to check the grouper situation.

Hi,

is NFC and Bluetooth working for you in the latest nightlies? I was using Android L for some time and now got back to cyanogenmod and found out that I can't turn bluetooth on and NFC isn't even in the settings.

If it works for you, what kernel do you use?

Thanks.

EDIT:

My bad, I found out it all works with the stock CM kernel. I was using XPerience-19 before and it probably hasn't incorporated latest upstream changes, so some features didn't work. I'm gonna try to find a kernel where everything works and F2FS is supported.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] agentfazexx:

Hi, I tried updating to m10 ota.

Now the tablet is in a bootloop.

Process media and process acore fail to start, then softReboot.

Tried to wipe cache dalvik, didnt help.

I would reinstall the update but have no clue where the updater stores them.

Any hints?

I got the same problem, clean install solved it, btw the ota updates are stored in "cmupdater" folder in the sdcard

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Obscurax:
Peoples with bootloop, did you come from the Nightly releases?

Because Nightlies and Milestones are NOT interchangable.

I will try and report when I get home:

Nandroid backup,

Format system partition,

Flash CM M10 F2FS,

Flash Gapps,

Wipe cache & dalvik.,

Reboot

EDIT: can't report back, have problems with encryption will install factory image later.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tronmech:
Forewarned being Forewarned, I:

1) made a backup

2).used cm updater to update from the 9/15 nightly to m10

3) bootloop.

Restored the backup and twrp froze on reboot (that kind of a day). Forced a power off and was able to boot into my restored backup without further incident.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] durgis:
9/15 nightly is after the M10 branch was created. Upgrading from M9 should be fine, and nightlies before September *might* be alright. Please make a backup before updating.

I get a boot loop on my GS4. M10 has to be installed cleanly.

Btw, the devs don't seem to notice my error reports I posted on cm forum and g+ community (and i think here as well) should I open a jira issue? I have logs and all (slow boot animation caused by the cpu being stuck at 486 mhz for some reason)

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

Another question. Aren't milestones just nightly releases with a different naming? I mean, don't they have the same features? I don't really get why m releases and nightlies would be incompatible
[Nexus 7 Original Development] frantisek.nesveda:
Not really. Milestone releases are meant for bigger stability, so they don't include all the latest commits that go into nightlies.

For example, with the M10 milestone, CyanogenMod branched the latest code base on September 9, and then only pushed bug fixes to this branch. From the branch they then later built the M10 release.

So, if you are running a nightly older than September 9, you should theoretically be able to update to M10 without issues. But if you are running a later one, you need to do a clean install when installing M10, or you can update to the latest nightly, which should have all the same features as M10 and more.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mondokat:
If a maintainer picks it up we'll get snapshots again. Besides, isn't this tablet still supported by google? Stock L should be available right away if you really want it, and source will be available for aosp builds. CM isn't everything.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Angristan:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] Reptilez_DK:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] bluebirch:
If even the old HTC Desire S (saga) can still have active CM11 development, it shouldn't be impossible to find a maintainter, right?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Reptilez_DK:
Impossible, no. But highly unlikely. And you *can't* compare devices like that. If no developers wants a WiFi only tablet, then we're out of luck. The Desire S, is an all different device, I all aspects. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bluebirch:
True. But it is old. Antique compared to the N7.

There is also a newer N7. Age is not necessarily a bad thing here. That could mean more upcoming developers have it, as a spare device. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] jolle-pe:
I wondered why i get no cm11 m11 update.

If there is no maintainer, why is there a new nightly available?

Because nightly builds are build by a bot. If device-specific things break, there is nobody to fix them. :)
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Mr-Glass:

[Nexus 7 Original Development] jolle-pe:
I would also help the cyanogenmod team to improve their work flow for m-builds
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Thömy:
Sure! What are you willing to help with exactly? Can you code (C, C++, Java) and are you willing to code? Do you have problem with something that you want to see fixed? Clone the CyanogenMod repositories and start digging around. There are also some bug reports that cloud need attention: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5388 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-5369

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4599 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4107 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1869

Or are you more thinking about testing the builds that are potentially going to be an M release? That could get a bit difficult when you can't build the ROM yourself. Because those builds are different from the nightly builds. You can read more about that here http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-11-m4-post-release-items and here http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m6-release.
