Has anybody else on the latest nightly (8/21) experienced errors when trying to install any apps from the Google play store? The error says ”unable to retrieve information from server"

Already tried:

Wiped cache/dalvik

Reinstalled play store apk

Reflashed 4.3 gapps

The only options left are factory reset, and reflash nightly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Works fine for me. Just flashed latest nightly to test for you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalvarez0312:
Tried that already. This used to happen to me with the 4.2.2 ROM as well. I don't get why...maybe its just my phone. Hmmmm maybe I need to upgrade touch firmware again. I had it downgraded and never upgraded it back after the issues were solved because I didn't see the need to. I'll try that and then report back but it seems like it may be related.

I know the answer most probably but just need to confirm, Is the Camera Quality in AOSP CM Roms as good as the stock based Custom ROMs I never got good snaps in AOSP roms :(

Some1 please reply ASAP ...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
This is an opinion question as AOSP Pics have always looked better to me then sense pictures. If they look worse to you than that's your opinion.

I threw up some pics I took inside and outside with this ROM. Now you can decide for yourself.

Status 7 Error?

I have the AT&T HTC One X on CM10.1, kernel version 3.0.68-gf0a7a27.

Every time I try to flash to the 10.2 nightlies (or the last few 10.1's) TWRP gives me the Status 7 error. I did a full wipe/factory reset before trying to flash. Do I need to update the kernel to a newer version? Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Did you ruu to 3.17/3.18 first?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marlowewolram:
I read in another thread you didn't need to RUU if you'd never taken any OTA updates. Is that not the case?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
That should be the case but I would do it anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I do not believe that is true at all.

No OTA updates simply puts you on whatever version it was on out of the box. It could have been any version depending on when it was purchased.

You need 3.17/3.18 firmwares, so either you need to OTA up to that or RUU up to that at some point(a few other options exist).

Anybody else getting terrible battery life? I was at 50% at 12PM today and by 3PM my phone was at 4%, all I did was check the time on my phone, left WiFi on, data/NFC/bluetooth all off. No apps that I installed running at all... I watched the battery drop from 20% to 18% in 1 minute, then proceed to drop 2% every few minutes until it was dead....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
How long ago did you flash the ROM? Also, did you use better battery stats or gsam to investigate what was using the battery. 99% of the times bad battery is reported, it's on the user end, not the ROM.

Yes, it clearly says in the requirements for this ROM that you need to RUU up to the latest.

Just download it, put your phone in fastboot mode, and run the exe program.

Just wanted to say that these CM roms are freaking sweet.

I've been on xda since I got my HOX when it came out, but because everyone in these forums are so awesome, I am able to find answers to questions I have every time. I've merely been a lurker, and I am starting to want to change that! Anyways, I have a few questions about this rom that I am hoping someone can answer.

1- I am wondering if anyone can give me their opinion on pros/cons to dirty flashing the nightlies. Do you do this every day? How often then do you do a clean flash? I am wondering because I usually just flash once, and then wait a month, and flash again. I hate setting up my apps again. Which brings me to two.

2- When setting everything up, I found that Titanium backup is annoying in that you have to accept each app to install them again. I can go onto my computer and do it a lot faster. But, I lose all my pages and app histories. Maybe I'm not utilizing titanium backup the best? Does anyone use launchers on top of CM that do this too, like Nova? why or why not would you suggest that?

THANKS to everyone who contributes to this. I am amazed at how talented some of you crazy cats are. :cowboy:

I use chompSMS, and you can with that. I see no way to do it through the messaging app or the people (contacts) app.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Funny you should ask this since I just made a post in the dev section about this. I always clean flash. and only update every few releases. For me, setting up my apps and whatnot, I could care less. I keep the phone backed up and the apps auto download through wifi. I use ADW EX launcher which I bought ages ago and it backs up my homescreens as I have them set up and then I can restore that.

People argue that the CM team says it's safe to dirty flash. Sure it's safe. Safe means, it won't brick your phone that does not guaranty stability. They can only possible test on a certain amount of phones and you can't always predict how hardware will react to software overwrites. So much can go wrong. So, while many random posters may disagree. I, who have spent LOADS of time and read thousands of posts in this section, would say it is best to avoid dirty flashing if you can for maximum stability.

I think the paid versions allow you to restore without prompting? I could be wrong. I never bought it since I just let google backup and restore my apps. Though I realize not everyone can/wants to wait for the apps to download.

Hope this little bit of info helps in some way. Good luck. Agreed CM10.2 is AMAZING.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Pros of dirty flashing - All settings saved, including system & CM specifics. Apps & app data are saved as well.

Cons of dirty flashing - If there is a major merge a dirty flash could potentially hinder the merge. This is a case by case basis though as I've seen people who have said they've been dirty flashing since CM 10.1 up to 10.2 with no problems.

I usually just see what's merged & flash one way or the other accordingly. Unnoficial status roms (like CM 10.2 was for a while) always get clean flashes. The way I flash nightlites are again contingent on what's merged.

I highly suggest you invest in Titanium Backup Pro. I think it was on sale not too long ago but it's definitely worth it. In your case you have to accept each app install because the free version doesn't allow you to use hypershell. Hypershell streamlines the app installations, you just click batch restore, play the waiting game & then voila, all your apps & app data are restored completely.

TB Pro also has the cloud storage option & you can schedule regular backups to Box, Dropbox & Google Drive. I schedule a backup every 3 days to Google Drive & absolutely love not having to do it manually like before.

I also use Nova launcher & aside from a few weird closing animations with xda premium 4 it works perfectly fine. Launchers are strictly preference to be honest. I prefer Nova to Trebuchet (CM's default launcher) because of the gesture features & deeper customization options. I can't really suggest for or against though as I said it's preference. If trebuchet works for you then by all means use it...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FSB:
What backup do you use in titanium

There are so many choices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Backup all user apps + system data. I only sync my apps to the cloud though...

I flashed the 8-20 nightly probably right after it came out. Everything looked normal in BBS.

Today everything looks fine however, 20hours on battery and I'm at 50% battery left... Must have just had to break-in the kernel or something? I really would like to know what causes this crazy battery life..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] themoose:
Ouch!!

So I updated to the latest nightly last night before I went to bed and apparently my phone spent the night constantly rebooting. I've gone through the ritual and reinstalling after a clean wipe instead of dirty flash with the same results then wiped everything including the SD card portion with the same results. Then I dropped down to CM10.1 thinking it might be a .2 issue. Best I can manage is an uptime of 5-10 minutes before it reboots or have it reboot immediately upon plugging in to recharge. Is my phone totally scrawed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sagar_tiru2006:
Will I loose my ROOT ??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Ruu and see if it continues. If so, it's a hardware issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] themoose:
Thanks for the assist! I'll give it a shot tonight!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It seems to me that you need to do some more learning about modifying these phones. RUU will return your phone to being completely stock, so yes you will lose root. But all you need to do is flash TWRP again afterwards and then you can flash a rooted ROM. I honestly think you're in over your head, this is very basic stuff, maybe you should RUU and stay stock.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Your perspective might change if you spent countless hours writing guides and answering the same questions over and over. The information is all here for those who are not too lazy to read and learn. A lot of this basic information is just a matter of reading the stickies or using the search feature which is an XDA rule. I'd rather discourage someone then watch them brick out of ignorance.

If you don't understand what root is, why are you rooting?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I agree 100% with what Exad said. I spend countless hours on here, and it's always answering the same questions over and over. The information is there (many times over) for people who actually take the initiative to read and learn before they start the whole process.

My point was that there are some people who are modifying their devices without even having a slight understanding of what they're doing. It's these people who start the "I've bricked my phone" threads, many times the phone isn't bricked but it's a case of them doing something without knowledge of it and they can't recover because they never learnt what they were doing.

I would much rather discourage someone who is too lazy to learn than have to see them destroy their device.

All of you do this voluntarily, you are not obligated to help these people so why complain about something you don't

It's also not as if he doesn't know what root is, he's asking if RUU will make him unrooted again. This could've been answered in a simple yes or no but there's always complicated & condescending reply. If it's as basic as you claim then it shouldn't be that hard to be as basic in your response...

There is a power management bug present in this device, things like that happen now and again, I have no idea why though. The blinking led when you connect it just means that it doesn't have enough charge to be powered on yet, that usually only lasts 1-2 minutes. You're battery is most likely ok.

Well I've got 10.2 (2013/08/24) and I am very impressed.

Only problems so far (anyone else having these?):

When using the camera app there is serious lag. Possibly goin on when uploading to Dropbox?

The battery seems to die very quickly. I have disabled the weather 'auto-location' since I heard that may be killing it. Doesn't seem to make a difference

Thanks to all the developers/contributors
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dave-:
Also noticed some battery life issues which BetterBatteryStats pointed to a google app. As I went from CM10.1-20130806 to CM10.1-20130818 and then CM10.2-20130823 with new GAPPS all in one shot, I couldn't say when it happened exactly.

But BBS indicated that the phone was not going into deep sleep when idle. The partial wakelock (12hrs straight) responsible was "sound search for google play" which was an installed app that I didn't install myself and had no uninstall option. As it appears to just be a soundhound/shazam app, I disabled it and rebooted. No futher issues with deep sleep.

Side note, very happy with BT streaming now doing track text. No idea when that came in either but completed my wishlist. :good: devs
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] me_is_rushin:
Avid xda user here. My gf has the At&t One X and I have no doubt I could root/s-off whatever.

For those of you running this rom, as of the latest nightlies what would you say the only issues would be for someone who just uses their phone for the usual stuff calls, text, fb, camera, etc?

There use to be a issues list in the Dev thread OP, but I can't seem to find it.

I probably will not flash until the first milestone anyways, but I am just curious on how dev progress is coming along for the evita.

No, it's not the end of the freaking world, but asking without searching is against the rules and sometimes these people do not deserve responses, but depriving them of this info results in them causing bricks and in the end more useless posts/threads and more issues on the boards. It's a never ending circle of frustration for those of us that actually take the time.

The point is that people who do not take the time to read/learn should not be doing this stuff in the first place and I've said that multiple times on the forum for my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Notorio:
Actually it can end...if you quit. Like I said before you are not required by any obligation to help, so if you feel like you're wasting your time guess who's fault that is?

I could understand if he asked how to RUU or something but he just asked if it would make him unrooted again. Why couldn't you have just said yes or no instead of whining about how many times it's been answered? One of those options takes far less time than the other & since that seems to be of the essence in all of this I still can't understand why it's such a big deal.

I swear you guys make the easiest things the most complicated...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
The screen is slow to turn on when you wake it. And I notice that if I haven't rebooted my phone for a few days I get weird glitch type issues, for instance yesterday, there was screen tearing and artifacts. Rebooted and it was gone. The phone gets pretty hot from time to time too but that could also be due to the unusually warm weather we've been having here. 30-35c with high humidity.

Other than that, everything seems to work fine for me and I've watched videos, made phone calls, Web surf, play games, blue tooth, wifi, lte, all seems to work.

[MENTION=4915151]Notorio[/MENTION]

The line has to be drawn somewhere. If you keep answering the easy questions over and over no one will learn to search and read. We get it, you don't agree. From now on well leave the easy questions to you. -_-
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aaronDroid80:
If you want, the last 10.1 nightly is a good place to start, as there are very few issues. Personally, I'm sticking with that one for now because there are still some things to get worked out with 10.2, but from what I've read, there's nothing major.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vanja_z:
I completely understand where exad and timaa are coming from since they spend a lot of time on these forums volunteering help and it must get annoying seeing the same questions over and over but just to play devils advocate, the information isn't always clear. There are often many conflicting opinions spread across several threads which can be tens or hundreds of pages long.

Pick a topic (root, RUU, supercid, etc.) and do a forum search, its quite frankly a mess and asking for confirmation is really not a bad idea. I also have to agree with Notorio that this is the most hostile forum I've ever encountered.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Hostile, really?! I wasn't being hostile towards anybody, when I'm expressing frustration it's usually because the "I'll read after I've done it" mentality is rampant here. It's usually someone who should have searched before posting (XDA rules), or educated themselves about what they were doing. Then you get someone who doesn't spend any time at all helping people on here come at you with some snipy comment. That's where the hostility lies. People are so quick to label my reminder of XDA rules or reminder to educate yourself before action as hostility, which is total bs.

I never said there didn't need to be a line. In an ideal world everyone would search & nothing would ever have to be repeated. But in reality? These things happen.
