Thanks a lot, dear Mustavaalkoista, and others. Kiitos paljon!

I think I want to do a full clean install, to try to get rid of that re-occurring optimizing procedure. I just want to make sure that I do it right. :)

You say I need to do this:

Download Nightlies

Ok, getting the latest one.

Download gapps from here

Is this the one I need? https://github.com/cgapps/vendor_google/blob/builds/arm/gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip

Put the files on SD card

Reboot to recovery

I have TWRP 2.8.1.2. I assume that is ok?

Do factory reset (ie. format /system, /data, /cache, /sd-ext and /sdcard/.android_secure)

The TWRP has this option:

FActory Reset

Android Secure

But I do not see the /Sd-ext. Oh I found it under Advanced Wipe

Will those things leave my CD card stuff alone?

Flash cm-12.1-YYYYMMDD-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip

Flash gapps zip

I assume I do them in one go, and not shut down in between?

Remember to flash boot.img via fastboot if you have S-ON

I have S-On so I need that.

Reboot and enjoy

I believe I will.

Also I will put that rjands static bootanimation on the card, from

http://xdaforums.com/htc-desire-hd/themes-apps/unofficial-cm-bootanimation-t3128006

Thanks a lot.

[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Nope, follow the link on "here" and you'll find DeltaDroid's gapps thread with various download links. You will need at least this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952615026

A few extra modules may fit but system storage space is very limited.

Yes.

Yes, and you don't need to format sd-ext if you haven't partitioned your sdcard for SD2EXT scripts etc.

Yes.

Yes.

You have to replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip with rjand's zip. If you just place the zip on sdcard it won't do anything. You can do this with basicly any file manager capable of root operations.
[Desire HD Android Development] calle2014:
Hi there

I installed the cm-12.1-20150605-unofficial and it went fine. But now it started suggesting ROM updates to my phone, like 20150608-unofficial one. But if I download them then I assume I need to use the fastboot command too to update the boot.img file, right, every time there is an update? Where would the updated file go on my HTC and how could I get the boot.img file out from there?

My phone has S-ON. I wanted to have S-Off but never got instructions that I felt comfortable with doing the S-Off.

Thanks

[Desire HD Android Development] calle2014:
Yes, I have seen that page earlier too, but I do not feel comfortable doing it that way. Too many variables that can go wrong. :(

What about my question about having to do the boot.img every time there is an update withing the phone? Correct or not?

Thanks

Calle
[Desire HD Android Development] marknoll:
Just download the update and flash normally with recovery and fastboot
[Desire HD Android Development] calle2014:
I see, so ignore the updates that the phone suggest I download and just use the computer to do it, like how I did install the latest ROM?

Is my thinking correct?

I thought I already had gotten rid of the optimizing thing when rebooting, as I managed to once reboot in under 1 minute with the latest ROM. But then something happened and the phone crashed in the middle of me trying the media app and now it is again doing the optimizing! Bah.

Thanks

Calle
[Desire HD Android Development] marknoll:
Yes..flash the boot.img via fastboot..until u get s off,that's how you'll have to do it, unfortunately. ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Yankee_VB:
I have exactly the same problem. My phone is optimizing all 100 apps with almost every boot (especially when it crashes). It takes like 0,5 hour which is really frustrating... I have done a clean installation (dalvik/cache cleaned, S-off, new TPRW, etc.).

I have also found out that in case I cannot turn on Wifi, I have to restart the phone with my SD card removed. Then the Wifi works. It looks like nonsense but I have found this solution on another Android related forum. It seems like a problem of Lollipop (not this ROM)...
[Desire HD Android Development] gongoscho:
same here :(
[Desire HD Android Development] iamSMR:
Will somebody please tell me that should I flash it or not? And is it stable enough to use I meant to say is that is it laggy or not??
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
It is stable, and it is more laggy than CM7 to CM12. Should you flash it - give it a go and see how it feels for you.

New static boot animations for unofficial CM releases by Mustaavalkosta available http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61308474&postcount=2

Mustaavalkosta's avatar, CM11 logo and CM12 (12.1) logo static boot animations available. Can be flashed in recovery after flashing the ROM.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Nice! Do you mind if I snatch the CM logo one and see if I can incorporate that into nightlies and ditch the animation one at some point when I find a moment of peace in the midst of chaos? I haven't been too interested to do this all by myself right now but if I can use your zip file it's more or less half of the job done already and maybe I can figure out how to include that from build system. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
They wouldn't exist without you so feel free to use / modify / redistribute, etc. as you wish. Same goes for anyone else who can make use of these in any way.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Ok, it was kind of easy to include. I'm not 100% happy with the setup but it works and I don't have time to satisfy myself right now so time for that later. :)

Going live for 12.0 and 12.1 in the next builds.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Has anyone tried 0612 nightly, I dirty flashed over 0605 nightly and it sits at Starting apps for ages.

I gave up in the end, tried a few different Gapps, same problem with each. Might be because I dirty flashed, but don't want to full wipe unless I'm sure it's a problem with my install. Not planning on full wiping this month again.
[Desire HD Android Development] kchaisu:
It is the same as Saga build, neither dirty nor clean flashed get through starting apps. Thanks.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
The same thing with me. OTA flash over a working set-up - resulted in Starting Apps for hours. Pulling the battery does not help. Have to roll back to a fully downloaded build and clean install!
[Desire HD Android Development] Vega Bullet:
Same here. Starting apps in a loop.

Btw, is there any way to get apps updated in spite of low memory message?
[Desire HD Android Development] dxy_c1:
+1
[Desire HD Android Development] Macedo_apk:
It's happening the same with me. Yesterday the phone rebooted and move all my apps to phone memory again and mixed up with some apps installation. Since that happened my phone keep rebooting and removing battery doesn't help
[Desire HD Android Development] nijawang:
Me too.

Yesterday, my DHD entered bootloop after I powered on it after entering QuickBoot mode.

http://xdaforums.com/android/softwa...nogenmod-12-0-12-t3082041/page13#post61350166

I used QuickBoot in previous ROM versions before 0605 and it worked fine.

But this time the alarm in QuickBoot mode didn't work and DHD entered bootloop after I power-on it.

I am not sure if 0605 conflicts with QuickBoot or not.

Even I pull out the battery and wipe cache and system, DHD still could not enter Android.

I flash 0612 and Delta GAPPS 0605, but the APP optimizing process (127 APPs) spends 10 hours!!

After that, the DHD stocked in entering android screen for over-night and nothing happens. This morning it still stocked in that screen.

Fortunately, yesterday 0614 released, so I flash 0614 today and the setup speed is normal and now the DHD has entered android!!:good:
[Desire HD Android Development] Macedo_apk:
today I tried to update to version 0614 (clean install) however I got stucked in the select language installation menu. I can change the language but when I try press "Next" or "emergency call" nothing happens. This happened to someone else?
[Desire HD Android Development] xda-dhd:
All perfectly flashing.
[Desire HD Android Development] Macedo_apk:
I unplug phone from charging and wiped cached and all seems ok.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
How long did you wait before you resorted to wiping the cache? The phone may just have been very busy and felt unresponsive.
[Desire HD Android Development] Macedo_apk:
45min +/-
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
No problem with a completely clean (wipe system, as well as everything else) install of 20150614 with 20150605 gapps. No problems with re-booting (does not re-update the apps and re-boots in about 2 minutes). The static CM12.1 logo does appear to speed things up. Well done Musta and rjand.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Latest 0615 nightly booting okay. First few restarts also starting up normally.
[Desire HD Android Development] nijawang:
If this cm 12.1 ROM compatible with Xposed?
[Desire HD Android Development] pat99:
Indeed. But its in Alpha phase, which means you may encounter numerous issues with it.

Play safe, make backup of existing ROM first.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
For an Alpha it is pretty stable! There are issues with boot-looping with odd nightlies, but in general I find it remarkably stable and reliable.

[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
I haven't experienced the phone restart on charger connect before, does it just happen in this ROM or on other ROM's as well?

Stock browser crash is a result of bugs in WebView, no fix as yet. A few programs will crash due to this bug, the best solution at the minute is to use an alternative app.

This is a common error message with this rom along with "process has stopped". If you press Yes to continue, the DHD works fine despite these error messages.

How can i install this rom? TWRP 2.7.1.o gives me Status 0
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Use a newer version of TWRP. I'm not the best person to answer the meaning of that error code, a Google search will probably find it, but I don't have the time at the minute, but make sure your partitions are also formatted as either ext4 or f2fs before installing the ROM.

[Desire HD Android Development] xdagee:
Only God know how long this has been there' - Is this your first time you are experiencing this error?

I had it since May till now; (Cos I dont usually do texting, I ignored though i reported).

But now that you have also reported the same problem.

We can officially log a complain to [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION]
[Desire HD Android Development] kib0rg:
Yes, this is the first time (I update the ROM every week since first CM12 nightly).

I'll try to rolback to see if that helps. Anyway, we need more info.

Update:

Installed google sms app, here it shows GSM error code 332 which means "Network timeout".
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
I don't text very often, and I am currently on the 0615 nightly but I've never had a problem texting. Group texting had defaulted to using MMS, which didn't work for me as I had data turned off as I was at my allowance, but changing it so as not to use MMS for group texting also works for me.

With a network timeout, does everything else work, ie. calls and Internet / data when not using Wi-Fi?

Have you verified your APN settings?
[Desire HD Android Development] kib0rg:
Calls, data (2G/3G), wifi are working fine.

I have verified APN settings with my provider, everything is right.

There must be some connection with ROM update as I didn't do anything on that week except a few calls/sms before that, strange coincidence.

I tried to rollback to 20150610 nightly and messaging still not work...

update:

I have tried random things like deleting some /data/android.providers and so on, reflashing, nothing helps...

I can recieve messages but can't send.

Next step is clean flash :).

update:

Ofcourse clean flash did the job and now it works but still it's not a good solution...

Also which version of Gapps is useful for this device ( -0 , -4 ) ? i will sideload it !!
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Try re-installing it after a full wipe (dalvik, cache, data AND system). You have to use the latest TWRP to install the rom and gapps. The best gapps for this rom are here: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368. First use the basic gapps set for your rom version, then if you want add the add-ons.
[Desire HD Android Development] xdagee:
Issues with Gapps

I guess the Gapps mentioned in the thread is too heavy and esp for our kind of device. Look elsewhere for slimmer and lighter gapps.

I think its time we provide our own gapps for our device which fully support or Dpi(very important).

I have been testing, trying and searching for a gapps package for our device. Most of us encounter issues when flashing gapps. Me for instant dont even use gapps, its bcause i havent find a suitable one. But after the retirement of our fav gapps devs, i have been searching... and i would present to you my findings, will make it availabe to all to test and dive feed back. Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
You can't really go any slimmer than what's in the minimal package without losing functionality as far as I know. I haven't had any gapps related issues apart from slowdown but that will likely happen with any kind of gapps due to heavy background tasks and again can't really cut those off without losing functionality so I'm not sure what's the fuss about.

[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I haven't tried but it should work without any extra zip files. Same commits that enabled support for F2FS in 12.0 seem to be in place for 12.1. This doesn't mean it will work though, just that it should work. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] xdagee:
Flashed with F2FS and no issues. As a reminder you don't need to flash f2fs script. Build comes with f2fs conversation. Also as I haven't test out on other Gapps, I encountered some few issues with Gapps minimal edition by jajb.

All About L Part II [Quick Breakdown]

OTA Updates

We’ve taken a lot of effort to make sure that should you jump from CM11 to 12.1 or 12.0 to 12.1, your data will stick with you.

Superuser (Root Privileges)

Integrated in Privacy Guard.

Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard for these controls (long press an app in this view to see all permissions it’s requesting and manage them accordingly).

Trebuchet

Trebuchet can now toggle between the traditional paged layout view of your app drawer and a new vertical layout – complete with quick scrubber to locate your needed app at a much improved pace (looking at you Uber). Find the setting in the overview drawer in Trebuchet (long press Trebuchet home screen, then slide the panel up).

Settings app (What's new)

added the top level on/off switches to Wireless settings (WiFi, BT, etc).

reduced the length of the settings dashboard

notification management

notification drawer

security and lockscreen settings

Navigation ring targets and Lock screen shortcuts have new configuration views

LiveDisplay

LiveDisplay is our new go to for panel calibration – color temperature, automated effective times, lower power consumption, screen color and color calibration. The final result brings something akin to f.lux control to your Android device (please note that the range of controls available will vary by device hardware and what your device actually supports).

Ambient Display (hardware dependent)

12/12.1 now makes it even easier to digest your content at-a-glance, and decide if notifications are worth your time.

nightlies, nightlies, nightlies ...

Happy Flashing... :laugh:

CM12.1 Quick Review [build 20150405]

After some few days of cm12.1 here are my takes

am not talking about features over here.

am looking at what has improved over cm12 and the improvement for our device. :)

first i ended up in a serious mess after flashing gapps minimal edition by jajb but thankfully am back on track with the latest build 20150404 everything works fine. :)

my little advice is that,

you flash cm-12.1-2015xxxx-UNOFFICIAL-ace build first, setup your device, wait for it to settle for some minutes.

flash gapps-5.1.x-2015xxxx-minimal-edition-signed.

experience the sweetness :p

little hicups

when setting up owner name under settings->users You(Owner) a dialogue box appears below that "the contact doesn't exit"

fix

sign in your gmail account. (i.e if you haven't)

cLock cannot automatically detect geolocation, unless set it manually.

this is also seen in cm12 (but i cant actually remember the build when i first discoreved it :()

fix

with the help of gapps, gps automatically detect your location, so flashing gapps fixes it.

screen pinning now works with hw keys

touch and hold back overview at the same time to unpin

aside that everything works fine on my side.

best regards

I have two questions for CM12.1:

Q1: What does this statement really mean?

///////////////////////////////

We’ve taken a lot of effort to make sure that should you jump from CM11 to 12.1 or 12.0 to 12.1, your data will stick with you.

///////////////////////////////

Does it mean I could upgrade from CM12 to CM12.1 thru OTA?

Q2: If I want to flash GAPPS 5.1, do I need to wipe GAPPS 5.0.2's /system or /data before flash it?

Or just flash it?

Thank you.
