Strangest thing happened this morning. I updated to the latest nightly 5/1, and when my phone rebooted from recovery it went into "safe mode"...all my widgets were gone, etc...I rebooted, and they were still gone. Seems like the phone is running fine, so I don't know what might have caused my phone to boot into safe mode.

Anyone else ever expeirience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] d01100100:
I went from SOD to RR with 4/29.

I reverted all the way back to 4/22 which I know works well.

My GS4 just arrived so I'll be using that daily and willing to take some more chances with my GS2 and attempting to offload my Vibrant.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Do you think it could be any rogue apps or weird settings? When was the last time you did a full wipe?

Under threat of invoking Murphy's Law, I have not had a SOD in quite a long time, and I am using the stock CM kernel, just updated to the latest nightly today. Previously I was using the 4/22/13 build, I think. It was running so well with such excellent battery life that I wasn't sure I even wanted to update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I found the best thing to do is start fresh with each flash after 4/25. Wipe data, factory reset, flash ROM, flash Gapps, wipe cache/dalvik/fix perms, boot, wait 10 min, reboot, wait another 10 min, then install all apps fresh, not from backup. It's a lot of work since there is a new release just about every day, but for me I do these steps until I find one that I have no issues with. Once I do I stay on it until the next release that has something major included.

When I would dirty flash, or restore apps from backup, I found things would be broken, or just not work correctly, but if I would start fresh, the same version that didn't work correctly now does. Of course these are my observations, and may not work for all, but I think it's worth a try for those who keep having issues with things.

Application Functionality

Haven't tested out all the functions since updating to CM;

only have flashed 4/31 and 5/1 today: have been finding that opening the Instagram application forces a reboot.

Have tried uploading a photo, reboot.

Photo cropped becomes pitch black, unable to tell if it's a glitch.

Does anyone have this problem? or similar problem?

Also found myself getting a message most of the time saying the clock doesn't work?

Stock clock alarm feature is not working also.

4/23 has been running great for me... been too scared to flash since then after reading the complaints on here about newer nightlys.

Only real "problem" I have with 4/23 is that some times the screen doesn't come on and I have to hit the power button a few extra times.

Oh, and that transferring data to a computer via USB freezes the phone up, so I have to do that through recovery..

I would like to verify, because I have not been XDA for over two years (came back to fix a brick), and have noob knowledge on these matters.

I first started CM10.1 with 4/31 then flashed 5/1; had a SOD, a lot of RR when dealing with Instagram (haven't done much else).

Is it possible to flash 4/23 over 5/1?

As for wiping the (1) cache, (2) system, (3) dalvik and (4) factory/data reset:

A friend who recommend this, said I would not require to wipe again due to flashing only CM10.1 line.

But have seen posts where people have wiped/notwiped and are experiencing similar issues;

can I safely assume it wouldn't matter if I wiped or not?

Hi,

the version from 22(last month) works perfectly. All Version after 22, today i test 5-03, are buggy. They ask me over and over again for the Sim PIN. Sometime i past it, but i got no network connection. I disable my SIM PIN and now i dosnt come in the main menu...

I must go back to my old version from 4-22.

Why dos it happens? New Baseband version or what is new?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Primus76:
Yeah I tried that first before posting. Thanks though. It also used to be kernel so I tried cerux and no love PLUS the phone became unstable and got SOD. Never had that with stock on 5/1 so went back since it didn't help my lights issue.

I've just confirmed that Wi-Fi tethering is broken beyond nightly 4-23. I started noticing that it was broken at 4-25, but I just kept my head up and hoped that a future build would fix it. I continued updating until I've reached 5-3. I've noticed a lot of screens of death occurring, like many others have. So I've decided to flash back to 4-23 and see if it's better, also hoping that tethering would work. I didn't even wipe anything this time; I just flashed the zip right over 5-3. And low and behold, Wi-Fi tethering is working again like magic. Just a little information.

Hey guys,

I'm currently on the March 7th nightly build, though I should probably upgrade to one of the newer nightlies. Anyways, all has been well, except when I connect my phone via USB. The contents of the phone only show up on one of my four USB ports (and it's always the same one).

I've also noticed that if I rename my music files/folders, those changes don't reflect on my music player (I have Google Play Music, Apollo and Poweramp. Although, the name changes do show up, instantly, under CM's native file explorer as well as ES File Explorer. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:
The files are not updating/showing up in music players because they generate a list of files right after starting. Force closing them and restarting should make them regenerate the list.

Re: [ROM][OFFICIAL][CyanogenMod 10.1 Preview2 Hercules][TeamChopsticks]

Along then lines of what android88 writes, probably the single most important step in flashing anything new is to check the hash before committing it. Goo.im download pages will download the md5 file if you click on the hash, and most recoveries automatically seek an (optional) md5 verification step before flashing. If you don't download the md5 file, you should use a hash verification tool, like AFV or likewise.

I would like these two points to be clarified. I installed a different package for Photosphere, and it seemed to work just fine. How does it not "track right"? As for the camcorder, is it the issue of recording but not playing back?

Something strange started happening to me since the 20130504 nightly, and any ROMs built from it are doing the same thing. When I do a clean flash, my phone freezes up a few seconds after first boot-up and then crashes or I do a battery pull, and then when it boots up again it optimizes my apps for some unknown reason.

Because the changes are in the interest of improving the code and experience. These are are first(ish) steps with the new code, as always bugs will be presented and overcome during this time.

Thanks for your thorough reply! No, nothing at all I need, more just curiousity and trying to understand how it all works. I try to stay up to date on nightlies because I know there are changes under the hood that I don't understand.

Would you mind explaining to me what specific changes in the kernel are causing the issues and why? I don't have a programming background, but my fascination with Android is the ability to tinker and understand how it works.

Thanks again for the detailed explanation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdavekid:
How are you getting screwed exactly? There are builds available with stability and all the features included if that's what you want. The nightlies have and always will be experimental builds that are made for testing that eventually add up to a stable/milestone. We have been lucky for a while that the experimental builds have been pretty solid up till the last couple weeks. Sorry just don't think anyone is getting screwed, this process has been going on for some time and will result in better ROM.
