CyanogenMod just posted this on Facebook. Everyone read. ;)

*PSA - Nightlies*

As many of you have noticed, we have started releasing nightlies based on the Android 4.2.2 merger into the CM 10.1 branch, most recently including the HTC evita, jewel, and ville. In light of that, we’d like to take a moment to touch on something that has been affecting us lately.

Some folks have seemingly forgotten (or were never fully aware) what nightly builds are for.

*Nightlies are not released as an end product.*

What does this mean? It means they are built, automatically and periodically, with no human intervention and no audience in mind whatsoever. They are not verified before being published, and their principal purpose is to compile code and see if it builds on a per device basis. Build failed? That’s a positive result. Build completed? That’s a positive result.

What’s happening is we are getting JIRA reports, tweets, messages, pm’s, emails, you name it, complaining about failed builds or ‘bugs’ on nightlies; on widespread (popular or all devices) problems, we’re downright overrun with complaints. Quite frankly, we close them, delete them or otherwise ignore them. But even those actions divert our attention and time. There is a better way.

Let’s be honest, if we didn’t want you to use nightlies, we would just stop making them public. And truth be told, you guys flashing them and keeping track of issues _does_ have an upside, but only if it’s done in a constructive manner.

*How you can help:*

# If you have a bug that can be reproduced, flash the most recent *M-series or stable build*, reproduce it and open a JIRA ticket _with a log._

# Flash a recent nightly and see if you can recreate it. Post your result as a _comment_ to the issue created in the step above.

# Wait. We make an active effort to engage folks and assign out JIRA tickets. We don’t need updates on this for every nightly; and we don’t need “me too” comments, as long as the original ticket has all the requested information. If its not fixed in the next M-release or stable, add another comment to your issue saying so.

# Rinse and repeat.

Finally, one last point. While some issues have been corrected relatively quickly, we want to make it clear: this is not the norm. *If you opt to use a nightly build, do so expecting it to be broken, with no predictable time-frame for it to be right again.* Sometimes staring at the code in review doesn’t always make the repercussions of merger obvious; code goes in just to see what will break. Make a backup so you can restore to a solid state at all times, but otherwise understand that *this is a risk you run with using a nightly.* If you can’t handle that uncertainty, stick to M-releases and Stable builds.

I had this problem last night after doing a clean install of the 2/19 nightly. I finally went into settings, enabled swift key and made it default. Eventually it moved past the step to enable swift key which is where it was crashing.

I'm on the 2/19 nightly and used wifi tether today for 1/2 hour. Worked great.

People are going to rip you for that comment (but that is the SkyR forums) and it probably was unnecessary, but like others reading these fanboy posts it is easy to get dupped into believing that CM10.1 is hella stable. Give it about a month and it should be a more functional daily driver. Nightlies are nightlies and nothing more, nightly does not equal stable rom. Flashing nightlies is like watching a prescription drug commercial, some will praise the benefits then quickly skip through a laundry list of reactions you might have if you use it. I say once you do find a nightly that you like and all works, stick with it.

I can tell you that a CM10 10/12 nightly was perfect for me and I stayed there, and a cm-9.1.0 stable with InstigatorX v6.03 was beastmode, stability and speed would crush a stock Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3. Right now my bluetooth doesn't work but I rarely use anyways, I can make calls and sms so I guess I should be happy according to some posts, but I'm not a fan of koolaid either. #justsayin

The post below mine is an example of that. "It's nice" [smh]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:

Sounds like someone has no idea what he's doing because I'm not having half of the issues you guys are. I've never used BT so I can't comment but everything I use works flawlessly. So what's your problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Than don't drink it. No ones asking you to flash this. No one cares if you don't think it's "stable". It's a nightly which everyone knows aren't stable. Just sayin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Now I don't know why you are making this a personal attack, I never said I had a problem flashing, I learned a long time ago the hard way, I am just trying to spare somebody the hard lesson and maybe give them a fair warning, that's all.

Everyone does not know what nightly really stands for, look at Locoman's post above, that clearly shows that "everyone" does not know and that can be aggravating to the CM guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
I just had the weirdest thing I have seen on my SR.

I opened XDA app and the first half of my screen was like Middle Eastern.... Like it was hacked....

Not sure what that was about... Rebooted and all is fine... :eek:

First China now Middle Eastern.... I feel violated!!!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
It just didn't enable that's all, I actually just reflashed, and it seems to be working now, thanks for asking though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:
I've had issues where I'd open the xda and see a weird picture on every post. Nothing crazy but not right either.

Clearing cookies, history, etc., clears that up. I bet this website has issues w/ hacks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
OK so how is it not stable? What in your eyes makes this not ready for nightlies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
XDA also reports its name as the com.app name...

Had a few other apps do this after the 2/19 update...

Just some oddities... Nothing big... Love the work DFerg has done with our device.

I can take this phone another year or year and a half and be quite content....

Glad I am not limited my Sammy or AT&T....:beer:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Stable has a different meaning when it comes to flashing ROMs (which is obvious to me and a lot of members) vs what stable means in the typical software environment, I was just trying to let newer members understand that, like I said I learned the hard way, I am just trying to save someone spending a night trying to learn ODIN or adb, or worse having to look up what JTAG means. Luckily for me I have only had to deal with ODIN a couple times (flashed Rogers ROM on accident :D) and it was ez-peazy for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
My view is that it is fairly stable with a few minor bugs. A lot was fixed with 2/19 and us staying on topic will hopefully seal the deal.

Make calls, check.

Get online, check.

Get email, check.

Take pictures, check.

Listen to music, check.

Pretty darn stable... IMO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Not that I don't somewhat agree with you trying to make it known that these are nightlies and bugs are to be expected (I mean, top even requested everyone to throw bugs at him a few posts back).... but there's nothing wrong with flashing Rogers ROM. Especially nothing that would require Odin...

Just flashed this ROM everything is great except for the GPS. Anybody else having this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pilotgav:
I can't tell you how many times I've done that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dotnetguyaz:
I've been on XDA for years now (very quiet for the past year though). TBH, I tried the same thing you are doing. It got me banned for some time and did nothing but instigate arguments between the "seniors".

With that said, I'm a strong believer in letting people learn on their own. Back when most of us started this, there was nothing in terms of documentation and no one there to hold our hands. We bricked devices, mucked up boot loaders, ran scary versions of CWM and learned our lessons the hard way. My opinion is to let them learn what ODIN and adb is and how to use them. Let them read pages upon pages of posts to figure out how to properly ask a question. Let them look up what JTAG stands for.

I'm not trying to be a ****, but in all my years on XDA (and other forums as well), the hand holding has gotten out of control. I wouldn't recommend someone flash a ROM if they can't get a basic understanding of the tools and processes needed to do it on their own.

Oh yeah, 2/19 nightly running stable as hell. :) (No reboots, no GPS bugs, can't say anything about BT, WiFi tether is awesome, ummm, battery life is awesome). LOL :good:

10.1 on top of 10.0

Let me first say that I like CM very much, and was very happy with the 10.0. I wanted to try the new one, light installed on top of 10.0 and the play store and gmail don't work. Did a clean install of the 2.19 nightly, and ended up with no play store application.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Nope. You need to flash the Google apps, because ... Y'know ... It's a Google app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Capt. Martin#30:
He go to it first but gapps aren't bundled into the ROM. Download the gapps on first thread and flash ROM than gapps than rebot. Enjoy :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
Some feedback. Is it just me or the volumes on the ROM are low, lower than usual.

Loving it otherwise. Everything works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
I agree. When I call someone on Bluetooth my volume it's low. When someone calls into me the volume is regular. I also agree that the ROM is badass.

180 degree rotation fix should be in the upcoming 20130221. Sorry that I can't remember who posted this bug first, but thanks for the report. I would never have thought to try 180 degree rotation :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] topprospect:
dotnetguyaz, with respect, wiping multiple times is a complete myth. If you format a partition in recovery, formatting it again two more times makes zero difference. Please don't spread this myth on this thread.

For me, I love it when ROM builders put "wipe x3" in their installation instructions. It makes it very easy to weed out snake oil ROMs. :)

I like this post from arcee: https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts/7u9rJsNrYzd

LoSt180, I'll try to reproduce. That obviously shouldn't happen.

Sorry, x61tab, I just updated our "known issues" list on the blog. Yes, tethering is fixed (thanks for replies from others.)

If you are having problems with the current CM10.1 nightly, please post and give detailed feedback about how to reproduce the problem. So far we have had a pretty good track record of fixing problems as they are reported, I think. Please continue to post detailed problem reports!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ki77erB:
So far this ROM has been amazing. Hats off to all the devs. I'm on 2/19 and loving it. Only issues I have noticed so far are...

1. Phone locks up sometimes when transferring files over USB. The Daydream clock would come on along with the button lights and it would freeze. I disable Daydream and will try it a few times today to see if the problem happens again.

2. This was a weird one but only happened once last night. My 11 month old son grabbed my phone, when I grabbed it back and hit the power button the screen was upside down and had a weird green tint. I hit the power button (screen off) and hit it again (screen on) and it was back to normal. Not sure what that was about.

HDMI?

Hey, onealvideo:

I tried adding ro.hdmi.enable=true to build.prop and still couldn't get HDMI working on my TV. It appears to me that 4.2 changed how HDMI is started, so I'm confused how this works for you. Is that the only change you made, to add the prop?

Anyone else experimented with HDMI on the CM10.1 nightlies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ItsDon:
+1 on this. Wiping more than once makes absolutely no difference, just wastes your time. That's funny Top as I also use the "wipe X3" method to determine if I want to flash a particular rom :laugh: This myth does need to die though....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dotnetguyaz:
top: I'll agree with you that it's a myth, but I think it also has to do with personal experience. I've seen artifacts left over from a single wipe on the SR before (could also have been the version of CWM that I was using at the time too). With that said, consider me educated on that. :)

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

I just noticed this also on my commute into work. On a whim, I installed KingBeatz and that seems to help a bit, but otherwise, all the media/call volumes seem low. Notifications don't seem to be affected though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
What artifacts have you physically seen and do you have evidence of these claims.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
I have the opposite experience with call volume, I cannot seem to turn it down low enough at times. It is inconsistent though, but I've had a few calls where the lowest volume was as loud as speaker phone.

Not reporting an issue, just chiming in on my experience with the volume.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:

Anybody else having GPS issues with the ROM ? I am flashing with T-Mobile radio. Should that make a difference ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Nope I have been getting quick lock on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] radump:
Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dotnetguyaz:
Noooo... not anymore. I haven't experienced this since CWM 5.x. The artifacts left over were a bunch of 0 byte files in /system and /data and also some subdirectories weren't wiped. To me, it looked like parted & mkpartfs wasn't being used and instead rm was called (and failed while trying to remove a subdirectory). This was right around the same time that we were having issues with nandroid backups/restores.

Granted, it could be my device (and/or the CWM version that I was using at the time), but ever since seeing that, I've been on the 3x bandwagon. Given that you and top (and arcee) have debunked that, I'm more than willing to get off that bandwagon (happily. Flashing will go faster ;) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Locoman_:

Holy Moses! The 2/21 nightly is crazy fast! I've noticed an increase in speed in my browser (using LI3 radio recommended during the preview) and overall responsiveness of the OS. I can't believe how rapidly everything is improving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] x61tab:
Alright, when you swipe both figures from the notification area down, does the GPS appear among the items in the list?

This is what I did to flash the ROM:

1) Wipe the usual, factory reset, system reset, Delvik, etc.

2) Flash T-mobile radio found on TeamChopsticks' site

3) Flash the ROM (both 2-19 and 2-21 versions produced the same result---without GPS working)

4) Flash Gapps.

Anything I'm missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Not by default, you have to add it in settings.

Also, you do not need to reflash your radio each time you flash a ROM. The radio sticks between rom flashes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] x61tab:
How do you add it? I went to settings --> locations and enable GPS but it's not showing and when I tried to use the GPS, it says "Searching for GPS". Is there another way of setting it up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
GPS is enabled by default, you shouldn't have to do anything to activate it. I'd recommend grabbing one of the many free GPS Status apps from the Play Store to help determine why you are not getting a GPS lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Capt. Martin#30:
Not sure if your still having the problem or what Provider your using but ive tried alot of Radios which made big difference the one im using now is the Tmo Galaxy Note Radio and its amazing, Fast 4g and get snappy GPS. While testing radio each gave me different results as for speed or how fast gps locks on

http://d-h.st/zrg here a Link you can try it out,

1. Download

2. Recovery

3. Wipe Both Cache (This is personal prefrence it clear out everything)

4. Flash only Radio (Dont have to reflash anything else)

5. Reboot

6. Enjoy :)

Hope This help. Dont forget to thank if does.

I can confirm that HDMI is broken since moving to 4.2. I had it working prior to that. That enable is no longer working. I am wondering if we are now missing a lib?
