Would it be worthwhile to install the latest CM nightly for the modem and then restore before your next release?

(I've always clean installed and haven't had any non-connectivity issues)

OR is it your opinion it would

break

more than help?
[ONE Android Development] Vortex1969:
Yes you and everyone should backup and flash the latest Nightly. I flashed the 20/01 last night.
[ONE Android Development] fiz:ik:
Flash the latest CM nightly and clean flash the latest blisspop over it :)

Oh, you're talking about updating the ROM. Yes, backup current ROM, flash the nightly and restore the backup
[ONE Android Development] ek69:
Thanks I didn't know there was yet again another new radio/modem/whatever lol

CM really needs to start numbering stuff somehow. That way it's easy to just look at the numbers and tell if you're up to date or not [emoji58]

Not that I know there was a new because CM doesn't change serial numbers. But the faster everyone flashes the new firmware we can put this behind us.

I always deactivate some Google stuff I never use like the videos thing, news & weather, etc. It shouldn't be a problem but if you're getting a FC when doing that, that's a problem lol. I don't remember reading that before in this thread but I'm not on the latest ROM update yet either

but [MENTION=5168118]Vortex1969[/MENTION] why aren't you putting this new firmware inside bacon builds of Bliss.? (if the Firmware is mandatory for Lollipop to work properly, there is no point in not flashing it if one wants Lollipop), so why not just merge the update.zip and bacon-bliss.zip (at least for a while, with a HUGE Disclaimer :D )

as a heads up for those with keyboard problems and should the problem for some reason persist, that's what works for me: i chose launcher icon edit function as to bring the keyboard up on desktop so you can see date and time :) same reason for the second shot, just to show version number etc.

BTW using the opportunity to again mention that smaller font for the battery percentage, would be great to see this sooner or later the size of the icons like on CM11 ( 3rd screenshot )

Yo guys, slight OT.

I got a few FCs with settings due to theme manager(understandable, I dirty flashed and it's still new, not a problem) which led to forcing of default theme & wallpaper. Thing is, I DLed the wall straight from g+ and I can't find it anywhere now in my phone(it should be saved somewhere, right?). So does anyone know where to dig up the wall?

- So I flashed 1.7 over 1.8, did a clear cache and was unable to get a GPS lock.

(To fix I just did a clean install and GPS started working again, got me to and from NYC this morning)

Does the new firmware have to be flashed every time before a new version of Bliss is flashed?

Or is it just flash once and never worry about it again, type of thing?

Not sure if you, or anyone can answer this, what is actually flashed with a firmware update?

I'm no stranger to flashing firmware for computer components, but when it comes to android, it's the first time I hear of firmware updates.

I've heard of official ROM updates being called firmware update, is it that? Some sort of official ROM base that can't be integrated into custom ROM?

Thanks for helping.
[ONE Android Development] Mikey:
Per CM Wiki:

What's a "firmware", anyway?

Okay, here's a little history:

In the past, many simple appliances and electronics-- everything ranging from advanced toasters to microwaves to industrial machines ran on "embedded", limited-purpose computer chips (micro-controllers and such) to control their operations and user interfaces. Those embedded systems would require miniature, specialized software to, say, let someone program the VCR or to receive input from a remote control to change a TV's channel.

Traditionally, this software would be written on small-capacity memory chips, usually to be written once during manufacturing and never upgraded during the life of the product. This embedded software was known as "firmware" (halfway between software and hardware), and it still exists on many electronic products, containing the programming/logic stuff that makes much of the electronic gizmos you own work. Sometimes this firmware can be updated and new functions or bug fixes may be added. For something like a refrigerator or microwave, updating the firmware is usually a torturous process, and for most electronic things, it isn't necessary.

In the case of Android phones and tablets, as well as iOS devices-- despite the fact that they may appear simply to be a phone that can run apps, what you actually have in your hand is a full-fledged, general-purpose computer. So while in the past, the "firmware" was just the simple software to make a mobile phone work, the name "firmware" has stuck to describe the software you load onto your phone, much like you'd load any operating system onto a computer.

So to be clear-- today, your Android devices are in fact very similar to your laptop and desktop computers. Because they are now based on so-called SoCs, or "system on a chip"s, modern Android devices are effectively tiny, low-power laptops, only with touch screens instead of keyboards. CyanogenMod, based on Android, is a full-fledged operating system, just like Windows, OS X, or Linux are on laptop computers. In fact, Android runs on a version of the Linux kernel, and you can even run a full Linux desktop on many Android devices just as you would on a regular laptop.

The term "firmware", then, is just a legacy terminology to refer to the software you put on your handheld devices. But speaking realistically, you may as well think of it as "software, particularly an operating system and apps, that can be put on my device."

Hope that helps.
[ONE Android Development] tobitege:
In this case the firmware is mostly by QCOMM itself, so really hardware-level stuff. :D

hah, ninja'd by Mikey, nice
[ONE Android Development] Shemploo:
Thank you for enlightenment :)

Do these hardware component firmware updates usually happen when a new version of a ROM is being flashed to a device?

I guess the whole reason for a separate firmware update (separate from ROM update) is that CM12 is taking it's good ole time getting here, and thus someone made it available to the custom community prior to official release.

anyone know how to disable toast in android L?
[ONE Android Development] 530farm:
Settings > display > advanced settings > toast animations
[ONE Android Development] shank007:
Thank you for answering my question. I meant the popup heads up notification.

I really like cm11 version of it where you can touch anywhere on the screen an fit will go away, but the notification would still be in the status bar. For Android L, I couldn't find any settings for it to adjust how long it can be on the screen and when you swipe it away the notification in the status bar will also go away.

So if anyone can assist me in either disabling it or know of settings to make it more customizable it would be great.
[ONE Android Development] CoBfan1987:
So is it possible to edit the nav buttons for the on screen nav bar like it is in cm11? As far as moving their position around and/or adding buttons? Really missing that feature and just wondering if it will be added via cyan team upcoming hopefully or if that is something you could institute.
[ONE Android Development] scarletbaron:
Missing features?

Applying themes is not possible right with the 5.0 build of yours right? Also some of the features mentioned on the 1st post is only for the 4.4 build as I couldn't find them on the new 5.0 build.

[ONE Android Development] Mikey:
No, firmware normally isn't updated often. In this case......they are nightlies, they are making sure anyone that hasnt flashed in a while get the proper firmware without problems.

In our case, we dont know if firmware is updated inbetween nightly versions, till its an official firmware.
[ONE Android Development] ek69:
You are right, it's a poorly worded way of saying what it actually is. There are certain files (for example radio/modem related files) that are flashed because they have been updated. If you look back, an alpha version of modem/radio related files were found to exist and at that point people were saying "flash the new radio/modem update before continuing with updated ROM versions" which eventually changed to "flash the new firmware" because more than just the radio related files were found to be updated and were necessary going forward due to the new files being used in the code.

Almost every custom ROM does NOT include those files when making a custom ROM because those files are on separate partitions (that a custom ROM doesn't touch) of the phone that are static and don't change unless the manufacturer releases an update. They are already present on the phone and don't need to be changed when flashing custom ROMs because they are universal among all ROMs, so no need to include them.

If you look at a factory Google image for example, the radio files (among others) are included, because you would presumably need them since you are probably flashing the factory ROM because something has gone wrong with the phones current files. This way you start from scratch with all the correct "base" files. Those specific files are from the hardware manufacturers like Qualcomm in our case. CM is the factory ROM for this phone, so CM includes them with their factory images of the ROM due to the same idea.

Hope that helps clear things up. I also understand what you are saying with how things should be said and referred to, but I'm just lazy and go with the flow since it's easier to do so lol

It appears to be a CM problem, I've read the same thing in many different ROM threads.

Remember, cm12 (s) hasn't been officially released yet these are all nightly alpha/beta/whatever builds that people are building from source. Things are being worked on and fixed by CM as we speak (write?)

TWRP

Sorry for being a noob here.

I've got TWRP 2.8.0.1. Would like to upgrade to 2.8.4.1. Searching tells me to install TWRP manager from the Play Store and flash latest recovery from there.

The confusion with doing this is that the app show 2.8.4.0 as the latest version. Any way I could manage to flash the latest recovery? Using a Mac while rooting and flashing sucks as there's hardly any tools to do the same manually,

Thanks.

For the same reason when you originally unlocked and flashed a new recovery on your phone would you want a ROM to change that stuff back same goes for other systems on the phone that aren't directly related to the ROM like on my old s2 we had lots of different radios for it and I wouldn't want the rom I was flashing to change the radio I found that finally worked really good on it.

I see what you mean, a valid point. - Thanks.

I guess the devils advocate in me would say, flashing one zip + gapps is easy and streamlined, and inclusion of any firmware, patches, radios, and modems, would make flashing easy, and possibly eliminate issues of end user flashing the wrong thing with multiple parts flashes.

I guess one way to satisfy both parts of the argument would be to release a ROM in a format that lets you select what "components" you want to flash. - I've only seen that done with Gapps however, not sure if possible with a ROM.

If you are new to the ROM and have never Flashed CM12 Nightly in the last day or two you will need to flash the updater. If your using MultiRom you need to flash as primary.
