experience with cm12

Having spent 3 days on cm12, the experience I got is with mixed emotions. The current build is not yet stable enough for the layman, however it doesn't seem to be very far from becoming. The wifi has issues connecting to certain rooters for no obvious reasons. There have been some random reboots but nothing alarming. The messaging app is not functional as it is crushing all the time. There is an issue with whatsapp and its notification pop up, while answering to messages. The Delta app for small updates for new nightlies works great. The themes section of the os is very well structured and operational. there is no fm radio app, while spirit2 is operating with very distorted sound, so I wouldn't recommend it.

The email app with exchange seems to work uninterrupted. The notification scheme is ok but needs some extra touch. The way to re obtain root took me a while to figure it out so an explanation is required at the installation process.

All in all, an experienced user can find his way for a day to day use of the os but wouldn't suggest a new user to install just yet!

update on wifi

It seems that for those rooters that the phone can't connect to, if you change their settings into open access, then the phone connects with no problem.

Im currently having issues getting a fresh install to work. I tried build 20150313 and 20150319 but everytime i come to the point after i added a CM account, even if i just skiped, i get a crash saying the setupwizard has stoped working.

Im using the e975, TWRP 2.6.3.0 (the only one that works without problems), wiped every partition and installed CM via sideload without GAPPS.
[LG Optimus G (International)] teacher77:
It's a known problem. Use an older build and update!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Toomkee:
20150313 was the oldest one i was able to download.
[LG Optimus G (International)] aaa29:
I have a problem with the version 20150318. The camera does not work with external app, for example with google translator. How can I fix? And how can I fix for the bug camera dark? Thank you very much.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Leavard:
Use the Aroma file manager in recovery and rename /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/SetupWizard.apk to SetupWizard.apk.old

Worked for me. Took me ages to figure it out though. Was stuck at work for about two hours with no functional OS on my phone and a very security conscious IT policy (i.e. couldn't plug my phone into a pc)

Flashing without gapps doesn't help because Setup Wizard is a CM app that wraps around the normal Google Setup app and it still runs even if the Google one isn't there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Toomkee:
i dont even have these file locations after installing a build o_O
[LG Optimus G (International)] Leavard:
Forgot about that. You'll have to enable the "mount all positions" (something like that) option in Aroma, or you don't have anything in system at all.
[LG Optimus G (International)] tabrizz:
renamed setupwizerd.apk didnt work does anyone have an old nightly version that works?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ircalf:
I deleted both SetupWizard and CyanogenSetupWizard (not sure about the name), and it started alright

I'm having a problem with Whatsapp Web, it's not scanning the qr code. It worked with CM11.

Anybody having this problem?

Already tried all the newest versions of recoverys and all the wipes.

Try this version of cwm. It is actually for e975, so doesn't have the asset problem.

The other cwm that is in the xda forum is for geehrc and gives me that error too on cm12.
[LG Optimus G (International)] alaskenikeni:
Thanks for the reply but still got the same error. Already tested removing the first line in the update-script but got an other error, just installation aborted. I think I'll wait for other nightlies to see if the problem goes away. Tested all the possible option I think. :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] Dimmm:
This is due to the small size of the partition "System". Install the firmware KDZ Baltics.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Leavard:
The option is there, not sure if it works yet. The option is buried in the messaging settings for some reason.

[LG Optimus G (International)] enapah:
If it's still the same issue I've experienced, given that Setup Wizard didn't work even without GApps, I guess it's safe to say this trouble isn't with the GApps package but rather the Wizard itself.

You either dirty flash from a working version (easiest and probably what others have done), or use ADB to delete the wizard APK, or wait for it to get fixed (by the looks of it, it may be a long wait).

And then there is still the SIM unlock issue. Nope, I don't consider removing the PIN a "solution" -- it's a work-around for those who are willing.

I suppose things may improve if Nexus 4 receives, at some point, an official version of Android 5.1.

I decided to go back to what I had working. I was going to compile CM11 from the latest sources (to get the latest security patches and the GMS wakelock fix), I even had everything ready to go in a decent compile machine, but then realized the device configuration had already been removed from the CM11 tree (at least for the built-in compile tools). Granted it's not the end of the world and should be easy to solve, I just "let it go" because I agreed myself not to lose too much time with *any* modification to the CM11 repository.

Will reconsider my options once I have more spare time.

I'm still grateful to whomever is maintaining this device though, don't mistake the pointing out of a few issues for ungratefulness of all the time spent supporting this device.
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
so i installed cm12 finished the setup wizard and then installed cm12.1 (both with the minimal gapps).

now i have a problem.....i cant modify/copy/delete/anything to files inside app created folders, for example on the folder Pictures i cant do anything at all from inside of es file explorer or the stock file manager (i have enabled root access and used both stock and supersu root options) even though i enabled root inside the apps also!

its like they are protected and no matter what i do i cant do anything inside those folders!

why is that? anyone knows of a solution?

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

also i have so many sdcard folders.... why is that?

inside "storage" folder i got "sdcard0" and "emulated" (sdcard0 goes to sdcard contents..)

inside emulated i got "legacy" and "0" folders (both goes to sdcard contents..)

is that the problem? can i do something about it? i use latest twrp from kev if that matters...

from the file manager inside twrp i dont see all this "****", i just see the "sdcard" folder. no storage no emulatied or legacy etc.... just one "sdcard" folder that is on the root of the phone. does this help at all?

Please keep in mind that I haven't compiled any of these recoveries. Only uploaded and edited scripts.

Which recovery do you use?

It was a problem of first Lollipop roms by kevinjoa for lgog but I think it's solved now.. Maybe format internal memory and clean flash rom

Sent from LG Optimus G
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
i tried e975 one and works perfect!

now i use your twrp 2.8.6 e975 one! (tried with kev's 2.8.5 before also but it was the same)

well, what i did was: install this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60423302&postcount=274 & those gapps http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330 (the 5.0.x ones)

after i finish setup wizard (i dont connect my google account, i just finish it skipping most of it) i reboot to recovery and flash the latest e975 cm12.1 and the 5.1.x gapps with the patch that deletes some of the apps (i tried without that patch and using cm's filemanager but still same problem, i even tried without gapps!)

i have to mention i cleared EVERYTHING, i mean: do factory reset, then do ALL the wipes and restart to recovery. then delete media (the option you have to write the word "yes") and reboot again, then again all the wipes and again reboot to recovery! so everything is as clean as it can get!

i also use the latest mako bootloader: z30f

have tried both with cm's own root method and with supersu (ofc i enabled it on dev settings), i enabled root on es file explorer (and cm's file manager) i made all 3 options RW but nothing :( (root works fine on all my aps).

i have unlocked using freegee and mako method (before all those ofc) and stock kit kat was working fine! (rooted and all...)

i dont understand why i cant change any file/folder in "sdcard" on lollipop (ofc the ones that apps are using them... like Pictures Music etc) and as i said before i have all those locations that takes me to the "sdcard"

but in twrp's file manager i see just ONE "sdcard" location (the "storage" folder isnt even there...).

sorry for the long post but i have searched for hours on google but i cant find any solution! i truly hope you or someone else can help me cause i cant edit anything at all in my sdcard! (except if i connect the phone to the pc...).
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
i tried lots of staff... and came to this http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/help/sdcard-read-restoring-t1902124/page2

the problem is it cant find the "cd /data/media" (not even data) while i do it from twrp recovery!

in normal adb (with device booted) it can find data but not media! am i doing something wrong? i even tried terminal emulator... and even the adb terminal (the one you get from inside dev options) but there it cant find the device for some reason...
[LG Optimus G (International)] enapah:
So, for the sake of clarity, you "dirty flash" CM12.1 from a clean CM12 or have you actually found out that one needs to first flash CM12 (at some point) in order to subsequently get CM12.1 working? (Key difference is if after flashing CM12 one can fully wipe the device and from there onwards install CM12.1 without issues or the step-gap CM12).

Hows the SIM unlock going? Can you (reliably) restart the phone and enter the PIN to unlock your SIM card?
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
i dont use a pin on my phone so i dont know...

i clean flash cm12, and boot it up just so it will finish the setup wizard, after that i flash cm12.1.... atm there is no other way to flash cm12.1 and not have setup wizard problems.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Btob6:
Unlocking is not solved! :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] clonfsp:
I had problems also with 12.1 ,watchdog alert me often that mediaserver drains my battery. So I downgraded and installed 12. Anyone having this problem also?
[LG Optimus G (International)] gemusehander:
there is another way, just flash offical cm12.1 (dont reboot system), then navigate to /system/priv-app/ with the trwp file manager and delete cmsetupwizard. reboot and profit.
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
There is nothing in the system folder...
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
You should first mount it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
thank you, that did it!

btw i was able to find a workaround to the problem i had here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60661111&postcount=301

the mistake was that if i copied the whole previous folder (like folder "pictures") then i got the problem above! BUT if a) let the folder get created by system or b) create it from a file explorer (but NOT from PC ) then the problem goes away!

i hope it will help someone else!

Guys, if you want the SIM unlock issue to ever be solved don't forget to vote for it in the official cyanogenmod issue tracker (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-1141)

That's not my report by the way, someone had already reported the issue a while back but didn't post here the ticket so that we could bring more attention to it.

The same guy also reported the wizard bug, but the ticket got marked as stale because there wasn't a recent confirmation that the issue still exists in the latest nightly (https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-1142).

Yeah, apparently they want a confirmation (at least) every five days (nighties).

Haven't voted for that one yet, will do if we manage to get that ticket going once again...
[LG Optimus G (International)] iakoboss7:
latest build is from 18/5 anyone knows why we dont have new ones?
[LG Optimus G (International)] PsychoGame:
Yesterday a new CM12.1 nightly 20150523 came out. Unfortunately still the same bugs (Setup quitting and Sim pin not accepted) apply to this build. Why there weren't any builds between 1805 and 2305 is pure speculation, but I think it had to do with the Android base code switch from 5.1.1_r1 to 5.1.1_r2.
[LG Optimus G (International)] PsychoGame:
Is somebody willing to supply me with system logs from a running CM12.1 nighly (preferably latest)? This way I might be able to pinpoint where the problem with accepting the Pin code might be coming from. I suspect some changes in LgeLteRIL have to be made in order to be fully CM12.1 compatible. A good app for taking logs is the app SysLog from the PlayStore. This will create a zip file from all the logs which were selected (preferably the default option [all logs]), which can be sent to me or made public if you like.
