I think you have to wipe data due to different runtime. Maybe (if you're still on cm11) try going in developer tools and switch to art and reboot and reboot to recovery and flash cm12 with Dalvik and cache wipe

If that doesn't work try what worked on me:

Recovery-->Wipe Cache/Dalvik/Android Secure/data-->flash cm12--> wipe Cache/Dalvik/AndroidSecure-->Reboot.

Ota= OverTheAir
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nkomp18:
okay just to be clear, the second option will wipe out all my apps and data? Because I made it work that way and that solution does not interest me.

I am only interested in a solution that will keep my apps and data intact.

Instead of developer tools, did you mean "Developer options"? In that case I can't see any option called "Switch to Art". I am not sure what that is. I am using CM11 and it's not there
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] alex1.salge:
Yes sorry meant developer options. Runtime should be at the end of the list.

If it doesn't show runtime option (or smth similar, can't remember exact) my suggestion would be, if you've got time of course, do a nandroid backup and try various combinations. As I said probably won't work without data wipe if you're still running Dalvik runtime. In case you don't want to lose game scores etc. try titanium backup or go backup pro (if you've got lucky patcher get the full version cuz it's simple)

Or you can hope that all your app data is linked to Google (Google games etc) cuz then when you do a full wipe Google kann restore your apps (which never worked with me)

And yes second option is losing data and apps.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] nkomp18:
Cool, thanks for all that info.

I'm still too scared to try anything, last two times were a nightmare.

So anyone who went from CM11 to CM12 most likely lost everything? Sounds a bit extreme to me.

Anyway, I'll try these when I'm feeling brave
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] alex1.salge:
In these situations nandroid backup is your best friend ;D good luck
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
Getting fed up waiting for Oppo to release COS 2.x OTA (and stable). Think I'll just flash this and be done with. Want to get past 4.3 for proper android wear support.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] kirkal01:
Hi guys!

Everytime that I install a new nightly I loose my personal ringtones in the system file and If I install them in the internal or external SD they does not work.

Everytime I need to copy my ringtones into system folder via ES Explorer and then reboot my Find 7a!

It's terrible, with CM11 never get this kind of issue!

Anyone know how to fix it?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tarun kambala:
bootloop

my phone always boot loops after i install a new update.this is happening because of the change in the system font.any solution for this?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] blackcracka:
Wiping cache and dalvik fixes bootloops for me after updating.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tobias14:
install this app and change selinux mode to permissive (requires root)

you will be able to apply custom ring tones without moving them to system folder

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] kirkal01:
Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried it but ecery time that I boot the device the selinux mode is enforcing instead of permissive.. how to fix it?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
Excuse the idiot question, but does the 7S denote the 7 QHD? Normally its just 7 and 7A, havent seen 7S used before.

Read the thread, got it ;)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Ha ha this thread is what I need I think.

I've been running CM12 since the first OTA update really with no problems. I update about every 3rd nightly. I am still on the 02/16 nightly, long weekend.

I've really had no issues, I think because I did a system wipe when I installed. What is the fix though for the 3GB internal memory partition? Or is there one yet. I do backups, save pics to dropbox etc. so if I need to wipe and lose apps and data, that's a non-issue for me. But being limited to 3GB and not having enough memory to download or update apps is killing me!

Thanks,

-AJ

Any troubleshooting tips? Its picking up other BT devices fine.

EDIT: Factory reset on the watch did it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Tibedabeeto:
So I looked in this thread and I can't seem to find anyone with WiFi issues. I came from Omni rom 5.0.x. I did full wipe and all before installing cm12. But noticed I'm having WiFi issues, cell signal stays connected but not my WiFi. So my question is do I need to install cos 2.0.x before installing cm12? Also noticed twrp 2.8.5.0 acts funky when installing so went back to 2.8.4.0 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jaykishankrk:
Each of cm 12 nightlies flash the latest modem.. You don't have to go back to any COS version to flash this. However, I am on CM12 since the day it got released (barring few nightlies with bricking problem). Best ROM on this device as far as stability and battery life is concerned. Can you tell me why are you switching from OMNI.. any concerns or issues you see with it?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
I found the work Coldbird did on the Oppoforums for unified storage. He says CM does not work with his unified storage swap.

But when I was running CM11 I didn't have a 3GB limit for apps. so what changed??

Thanks,

What's the different between Find 7A and Find 7S, i'm using Oppo Find 7 QHD 9076 about 1 week ago and now i don't know what's my device name to find some rom or find CM rom.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mikeioannina:
You probably flashed the wrong build. find7 is for find7a, find7s is for QHD find7s

Look my answer right above
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] alex1.salge:
Install Device Control

Go to "more" ->build.prop->smth like screen resolution

Set to about 500 for 7s and don't know for 7

Worked with my 7s
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Why has this thread gone so quiet?? I've just got CM12 fully working on my Find 7.

On the latest nightlie, is anyone else having problems with messaging app crashing? Trying to make a new message by pressing the floating + button, go to type a name, crash.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Except for dealing with the 3GB internal memory limit CM12 has been flawless for me. I will download the latest nightly Adam3Sixty and see what happens. I'm a few nightlies behind.

_AJ
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
The limit totally sucks, was going to go with Nameless as it supports unified storage, but Xposed doesn't work with it, so went for the split storage and Xposed, lol.

Fingers crossed next nightlie fixes the SMS bug.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
I've also just noticed that for some reason, notification sound isn't working, I sent an mp3 as my notification tone and it just goes "dong" instead of playing my chosen tone.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Custom ringtones and notifications seem to reset every nightly upgrade. You might have to add your MP3 to the proper folder. For example, for ringtones you need to a the file to /device/system/media/audio/ringtones. Try adding you custom sound to /device/system/media/audio/notifications.

Another caveat, I find I have to add the file back after each nightly update. I am limiting myself to two custom sounds for that reason right now for my own convenience.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] soulja85:
Why does it have a 3gb limit?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
I have no idea. I don't remember having it with CM11 but it does with CM12. I've read a lot it's because Oppo set a partition for apps at 3GB. Some have suggested unifying the storage but that CM12 doesn't support unified storage.. But I don't understand why it wasn't an issue with CM11.

-AJ
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
The 3Gb limit is because of the phone's internal storage partitioning. It has nothing to do with the ROM version, so it was already there with CM11 or even the original COS (android 4.3) from oppo.

But CM11 still uses the Dalvik runtime by default, while CM12 uses ART, which needs quite a bit more space for apps to work properly.

Hence, if you were running CM11 and were already close to filling the 3Gb limit, and you then switch to CM12 with the same amount of apps, there probably won't be enough space left for all of them and it becomes a real problem...

To get past this limit, you may use either the unified partitions method, or the LVM one.

Both methods will let you use one big and unique partition instead of the separate system + apps + data partitions.

However, you also need to install a ROM and recovery that knows how to deal with these unified partitions.

And sadly, as you already mentioned, CM doesn't seem interested in making their ROM compatible with these kind of partitions "hacks" and mods. :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] sof006:
Just gotten my Find 7 today and have found out mine is using the new R63419 LCD screen and doesn't support every rom except official color OS.

When will Cyanogen support the new screen? I am sad that this is something Oppo would do :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Doomboss:
Sorry that I keep bringing this topic up, but I hope the CM team will focus on solving the BSOD issue that most of us Find7s users are having... Are there anything we can do to help debugging this problem? I really want it to be fixed because it kind of decrease the usability of this phone. :(
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Probably a known issue, but does anyone have an idea about the 4k video recording? Google Camera now supports the resolution, and the stock CM12 camera also has it in its settings, but neither work for me.

Probably gonna get mass hate for asking that so I'll take it gladly, if at least one person gives me the answer, lol.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
I cant record ANY video :/

Tried two nightlys, one from end of Feb and one from the 14th (two days ago, latest). On CM12 camera or downloaded google camera it just doesnt record, on other apps it crashes the camera process. Rather big bug now that I've noticed it, went to record something with the family yesterday and couldn't.

EDIT: Dropped to 1080 there and it works, so it just 4K like you said.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
I'm on holiday at the moment, and the only reason I brought my Find7s was for the 4k video recording, I can do 1080p on my half-dead HTC Desire HD (which is basically just a camera now as locked by network)

It is a pretty annoying bug, but at least the camera does work.

Anyway, that's me being off topic, sorry.

Hopefully this is something that may be addressed in the future, at the moment I am sticking on 5.0.x to continue using Xposed, as [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] is making it stable on that before bringing it to 5.1 and I'd rather have Xposed!!!

Just wondered if everyone else still has NFC issues?? Issues being it doesn't work, lol.

Just flashed the newest build (cm-12-20150321-NIGHTLY-find7s)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mosfet321:
CM12 works on unified storage

CM12 latest nightly perfectly work with unified storage the only issue is the 4k video recording with integrated camera app or google camera (I use Open Camera from playstore and 4K video record works perfect), everything else works like a charm (NFC, etc), the duration of the battery is much better than with ColorOS 1.2.X or 2.X.X and the Wi-Fi detection signal and conection is a lot better. I use the cm-12-20150321-NIGHTLY-find7.zip

My step by step to install CyanogenMOD 12 with unified storage.

1- IMPORTANT! Clean instal ColorOS 1.2.8i (I downgraded from 2.0.7i beta) search for it in the Oppo Forums.

2- Install Gummy-CWM-based-touch-recovery-find7.img in fastboot mode (rename to recovery.img for practicity and flash in fastboot mode in the known manner).

3- Install CyanogenMOD 12 last nigthtly with the Gummy-CWM-based-touch-recovery already installed.

4- I used the Coldbird method -- partitiontool.zip -- to unify storage just run swaplayout.BAT with the phone in fastboot mode (Coldbird tutorial search for it in the third party development forum for Oppo Find 7 in the Oppo forums if you dont know what are you doing ) ---- during this proces I only get a black screen for 5 or 6 minutes, wait for the tool to end the process the phone reboot itself ----.

5- Let run the first boot of CyanogenMOD 12 with unified storage.

6- Install the recovery unify-recovery-2.7.1.0-find7v2.zip just run installrecovery.BAT in fastboot mode. (Same Coldbird tutorial on the Oppo forums If you do not understand what I'm talking).

7- Enter in recovery and install gaaps of your choice clean cache and davlink then reboot and enjoy!

8- DONE!!

9- OPTIONAL flash the lastest TWRP for Oppo Find 7 in fastboot mode.

15 minutes from the begining to the end (Previous download of the tools required and the CyanogenMOD 12 ROM and Gaaps .ZIP)

Link to download the Tools

Download from MEGA

Edit: I moved to NamelessROM and seem pretty good I would try some OTA whit this to see if works.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
I'm using the exact same build, and NFC isn't working for me.

Maybe I will have to do a clean install with the newest build and see why happens.

Also, can u post a screen shot of the storage section on ur About Phone please, I tried the unified storage thing and it kinda worked, but I had a second section saying it had a very small amount of storage in it, looked really weird.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mosfet321:
Remember to avoid problems with NFC and others you need install a fresh base of ColorOS 1.2.x I recomend the 1.2.8i.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Yeah, I did, maybe a week and a half ago.

My phone was totally dead and I had to use the brick recovery that does the cleanest install u can wish for, fully wipes EVERYTHING on phone memory and takes it back to 100% stock.

Still have issues with NFC, quick settings tiles coming, going and not even working at all, ringtones and notification tones not sticking or working at all and the 4k video thing, using ANY camera app.

Guess I'm just one of the unlucky ones.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] alex1.salge:
Scrolling

Every time I scroll somewhere it lags and jumps around unless I hold while scrolling. So everytime I release my finger it lags extremely. Already tried reinstalling and wiping and and and... Anybody?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mosfet321:
With the 03-25 nightly and google camera the 4K video records finally works, and Im sorry I made a mistake with the open camera app does not record video on 4K is a lie and record on 720i but the google camera app works great en 4K.

Im sorry Adam3Sixty :( when I buyed this phone the find 7 come with ColorOS 2.0.0 and I immediatly upgraded to 2.0.7i version then I searched in the forums and make a downgrade to a 1.2.8i and then I make the steps described above and everything works without problems.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Dude, no need to say sorry, lol.

I have no idea what ColorOS the phone came with, cos the first thing I did was install OmniROM 4.4.4 lol, but I have used the unbrick tool a few times, and that puts a totally clean base on the phone.

Anyway, I'm gonna update tonight, dirty flash as usual, see how things go, no time over the weekend to do a clean install due to working, that may be a job for next weekend, I just want my NFC and 4k to work.....

(Tho I have just bought a GoPro Hero 4 Black, which records in 4k30 ;) so that takes care of that)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
UPDATE:

Just dirty flashed the 20150327 nightlie, still have no NFC, no 4k video recording, and my quick settings tiles are still coming and going/not sticking as they should.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
Thanks for this, works pretty well. First videos I shot glitched out the aspect res and distorted themselves but after a reboot 4K recording works, and GIF support works :) ColorOSCam > Google Cam > CM12 Cam.

Storage limitations have really been driving me nuts of late after I installed a few more apps and thus updating was a right pain in the arse. So after seeing your confirmation that I works I said f'ckit and went for it.

My steps:

Backup everything

Boot Fasboot, run partition script

Wait 5 mins

Let it upgrade apps

Reboot into TWRP

Flash Latest nightly(Today, 29/3/2015), about a 2wk update from current

Factory reset

Boot and recover whats needed. That storage!

Less steps/flashes than what you required Mosfet but it worked, phone seems stable and performing well.

Havent fully tested it yet but everything Ive tried appears to be working. Having the usual problem where my Moto360 wont re-pair with the phone, but working on that now.

EDIT: Problem! Dont follow these steps.

Same issue as this poster. Follow the FULL guide.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Ok, so here is my questions for u.

1. U were obviously already on CM12, how did u get ur apps and data back after the full wipe?

2. Did the back up script wipe everything?

I have been thinking about doing this for a while, but I don't wanna lose all my data and stuff, what's the easiest way of getting it back??

By the way, before anyone asks, I'm not a noob, I know about nandroid back ups, titanium back up, contact and message back ups, blah blah blah, I just wanna know how someone who has done the procedure I am about to carry out did it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Whoo hoo! Did the partition swap and CM12 is working! Mostly. I had a lot of crashes with the setup wizard. Think I'm past that now. Can't update CM, won't download to phone. Will try to sideload latest update tomorrow. And fix the remaining glitches. Thanks Mosfet321 and Scratchling!

-AJ
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
NANDroid is an image, dont think itll work across resizes. TB all the way.

It involves a factory reset yes.

Hopefully you followed MOSFETs steps not mine. See edit, mine has a glitch.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Aw bummer, I see what you mean now. So close! So the CM12 --> Back to ColorOS step is important??? I was hoping to avoid that part.

-AJ
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Easy way, use this:

http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/

Even if ur not bricked, it works!!

Gonna be doing it this afternoon.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
I think I'm ok. Not bricked. I just swapped the partitions back and then recovered my backup. 80% right. I'm missing some of my apps, but the phone works . Reinstalling missing apps is easy enough just annoying.

-AJ
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Sorry, I wasn't suggesting u were bricked, I was just saying that this is the easiest way to get back to a ColorOS base, ready to start everything in the guide.

This was the bit I was hoping to avoid too of I'm honest, but at least there are easy ways to do bits, and a very nice guide to doing it :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ajhuff:
Oh I get it. Follow the unbricking steps to restore ColorOS. Gotchya.

Thanks for the idea!

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
I flashed back to 1.2.8i successfully then ran the partition swap a few times. Every time it unified it left a ~90MB partition in there that f'cks the mappings up.

So I went back to "normal" 3GB/Rest and flashed CM12 again, she no longer boots. Gets stuck at the CM splash screen. Now to go get her back into a bootable state.....

What Im wondering is, is the mini partition a remnant of TWRP and I need to switch recovery not just use TWRP like the lazy guy I am, or is it due to the process I followed before? Or CM12 not really being a Find7su supporting rom?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
That is EXACTLY what happened to me when I used the partition script the last time.

Now I am really unsure I'd I should bother doing it or not......
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
Normally I dont bother spending too much time on my phone once its mostly operational, but I've got two weeks off (off means part time in my busy existence) for easter so Ive enough time to wrestle with it.

1.2.7i now flashed and booted. Gonna used that as a base as soon as VOOC does its thing.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Adam3Sixty:
Same with me, and I'm loving CM12 right now, I just want everything working, lol, and from what I've heard the only way to get NFC working is to do Full clean flash from a ColorOS base.

I've got a long weekend coming up so may just wait until Friday to do anything.

If u make any decent discoveries then please post here so we all know :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:
If I can get:

Stable CM12

Unified Storage

Good Android Wear Support

Then I'll be happy, well at least for 6 months.

For some bloody reason I cant get CM12 to boot any more. Any C-OS image I flash works fine, but once I try to upgrade to CM12 it gets stuck at boot. Le sigh.

I'm taking notes so when I get it going, I'll know what I did to share.

EDIT:

Trying to work out what I was on when I went to CM12 first, cause I know that worked at the time. EDIT2: 90% sure it was 1.2.7i. Bollix....
