Exactly what it means.

CM is making it as possible as you can to upgrade from CM11 upwards without any issues through OTA update.

Which Mustaavalkosta is also trying as much as possible to make it available to all of us on our legacy device.

no matter where you are.

Well if you still have doubts, here is what CM has to say about Android 5.1

Android 5.1

As we planned in the last blog post, the 5.1 code has officially migrated out of the staging branches and become the full fledge cm-12.1 branch. What does this mean? This means that we have fully merged in the upstream AOSP Android-5.1.0_r3 tag, implemented most (if not all) of the CM 12.0 features and begun focusing on hardware bring-up for our roster of devices. This also means that the buildbots can be switched over for CM 12.1 nightlies at any time. So what are we waiting for? We want you to ‘dirty flash’.

Dirty flashing is what some enthusiast have referred to as flashing one ROM zip on top of another. This is usually used to express that an adverse reaction (be it crashes or bootloops) would result from taking such an action.

In CM, we call this “updating normally” :)

The normal causes of issues when crossing across major versions of Android is not the update process itself, but usually items external to the ROM – for example ‘gapps’. In fact, Android has (for hopefully obvious reasons) mechanisms to gracefully update your settings and app databases, allowing updates between versions without loss of data – it would be insane for you to take a stock OTA update from your OEM and lose your data; that would not be a good experience.

To make sure we also retain your data on updates, Android makes use of database upgrades, modifying the tables of information that store your settings and making sure they work with what Lollipop expects. 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. For external packages, you’ll have to update that yourself, but 12.1 is near-ready for the big leagues. Stay tuned for those nightlies to roll out soon.

So, about those user space changes and features in CyanogenMod 12/12.1? Here’s a rundown of the most immediate.

I am seeing the same lag and the space 250M warning

is there any fix for those two important issues?
[Desire HD Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Quick question. I have a message "Storage Space Running Out. Not enough storage for system. Make sure you have 250Mb of free storage and restart". I doubt it's a ROM issue (most likely user issue). It's a clean install (pretty sure i wiped everything) installed 12.1 (20150405) and gapps-510-base-20150404-signed.zip. with no other app installed. Should I just start again, wipe install - just wondering whether my partitions sizes are configured incorrectly (i.e. too small) - is there any scripts out there where i can verify the size of the system partition?!
[Desire HD Android Development] graziano68:
Hello

OTA updates will be allowed also for people like me which have S-ON (which need to flash boot.img separately?)

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
egl.cfg is obsolete. As far as I understood it was only used from Android side so proprietary binaries shouldn't have anything to do with it (which kind of are the only black boxes that might be affected).
[Desire HD Android Development] jazzfrequency:
Can you post please the nightly version date-number?
[Desire HD Android Development] nijawang:
It should be 0705.

BTW, is the Performance Settings in Setting removed or not?

If yes, does it means we could not overclock CPU any more?

0705 changelog:

[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
My summer break is continuing although not by my own choice. Bankruptcy of the company I worked for turned into a major cluster**** once again from the bureaucracy side and after I finished moving and its aftermath I've been trying to figure out how to pay my rent next month since no one wants to give me unemployment benefits due to 3-4 months of salary the company still owes me but I haven't received. This useless waste of time with the paper-pushers is pretty much draining any motivation I have for anything else so I've been in a kind of paralyzed state recently. Hopefully this is resolved sooner rather than later so I can spare some brain cells for something productive instead of wasting them with all kinds of unproductive activities to keep roof over my head.

Anyways, this is just a little status update if someone is wondering why nothing's still happening. I've tried to keep the infrastructure going though so nightlies come out regularly even if they don't have much ace specific changes.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
I feel for you man. The last job I had the company went bankrupt too, went into work one day after being there for a few years and we where told we wouldn't be needed from that day on, company couldn't afford to pay us redundancy, but at least we where paid up to date to the end of the previous month.

I started working for myself after that, money not as good, but job satisfaction way better.

Hope it all works out for you.

P.S.

This happened shortly after I just bought my first house, thankfully my partner was working until I was able to start earning.

Hopefully you find something you enjoy doing in your new place that pays the bills.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Really sorry to hear about this. Thought that things in Finland were better organised than elsewhere and the economy was better! Hope you managed to fight through the bureaucracy and managed to get a new and better job soon.
[Desire HD Android Development] kchaisu:
Hope you could get a better job soon.
[Desire HD Android Development] jazzfrequency:
I understand and I feel very well with all that happened to you man and I wish to solve all the problems asap.

Greece speaking here !
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Well, I can't really speak how things are organised elsewhere but the benefit system here is overly complicated and in the end no one knows who should get what and when and then nothing happens. I suppose if you are very generically unemployed things might be easier but I'm going through a kind of corner-case. Also more generically speaking the idea of unemployment benefits and various incentive rules involved are inherently backwards and are doing much less than could be done with more straight forward approach. No one is complaining that there's nothing to do thus the unemployed people are unemployed because of our institutions, not by natural laws, and in my opinion institutions that produce unemployment and/or misery are broken.

Economy here is also turning into <insert S-word> as everyone is trying to save simultaneously which is logically impossible thing to do without aggregate demand shrinking in the process leading people to lose their jobs but politics nor mainstream economics haven't relied much on logical thinking in the recent decades. We recently hit 400,000 unemployed which is little over 7% of the whole population thus the workforce based unemployment rate is much higher and will get higher as the large generations are moving out of the workforce. If someone says we are doing great here they are either blind, dumb or just trying to keep up the façade for the draconian trust-based house of cards economy. Things will get ugly in the coming years if current policies and the way of thinking are kept going.

Anyways, I suppose no one here wants to read me ranting about socio-economic philosophy so I'll leave it to this.

Luckily the important parts of producing new builds are automated so my personal situation doesn't put the whole project on a standstill. My lazyness with manual labour and generic tasks is bearing fruit by making myself obsolete. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] kchaisu:
Since we are from different countries which are differ in environments and nature of social political and economic problems, it is great to learn how the way of thinking are differences in social and politics. Thanks for yours elaboration.

I've just today upgraded from CM 11 to 12.1. I remember I've read somewhere that the phone becomes super laggy after exiting the camera app. Is there a workaround for that?

Other things seem fine

for now

, except Mixcloud app forceclosing constantly...
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Clear / kill open apps, don't leave them running in the background - best way to reduce lag.
[Desire HD Android Development] joriq:
I usually don't... Still, it is unfortunate that 2 apps that I use the most do not work properly or at all. Can someone check if Mixcloud app works for them. I just get "failed to load page". Updated to a new nightly a few hours ago...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixcloud.player&hl=en
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
The camera works okay, it's just that when you leave it the phones performance really suffers due to the lack of RAM.

I set up Greenify to hibernate apps I don't need running in the background, such as the camera, so when I am finished with it, I turn the screen off and after a minute when I turn the screen back on, it has been hibernated and the RAM freed.

I've never used Mixcloud, I wonder if the error in it is Webview related? If it is, does installing Google Webview from the Play store fix the error - try at your own risk as this may cause other errors but it would be nice to know.
[Desire HD Android Development] joriq:
tried installing webview, but no luck. Also, Antutu gets stuck at 3% :-/

for now, app compatibility is pretty horrendous for my needs :(
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
It's amazing that we even got the latest versions, but thanks to Mustaavalkosta we get to play with them.

Our devices where never made for them though, so it's always going to be a trade off between performance, usability and looks (the latest versions of Android look amazing).

I'm planning to upgrade my phone at the end of this year, although it works well enough for me, increasingly I just wish it was faster, and if I ever reach it to someone else it isn't long before it comes back - with an lot of complaints.
[Desire HD Android Development] joriq:
yeah, I know, but we are getting closer and closer to "proof of concept" phase - when OS can boot, but it's not usable as a daily driver. I wonder if cm 12.0 is any better, at least when it comes to the 2-3 apps I use the most...

Good evening !

I just learnt about the Stagefright MMS exploit : http://arstechnica.com/security/201...s-can-be-hijacked-by-malicious-text-messages/

Is it already fixed in any of the 12.1, 12.0 or 11 ?

I read somewhere that a fix had been pushed by google but i can't find it to link, sorry

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
12.0 doesn't have WebView related crash issue.
[Desire HD Android Development] joriq:
but I installed webview and nothing changed? Still, I'll give it a go sooner or later, now that I've made a clean wipe and install already

What's the meaning for a nightlies without changelog?

The changelogs for recent few nightlies all are empty.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Nothing but there's no check for new changes - nightlies will be built regardless. You don't have to download nightlies without changes though.
[Desire HD Android Development] netsach:
Thanks a bunch.

If i understand correctly :

- Cyanogenmod will push the changes on CM11 this weekend

- you're doing monthly builds from CM11 on the first saturday of the month

So it "won't be inlcuded in your build of the 1st of august build, is it ?

Then i'll have to build it myself, or wait for the build of 5th of september, am i right ?

Good night everyone
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Well, it's not fully clear what they mean but I'd assume fixes are already in place for 11.0 too but they only do weekly builds so fixes aren't available to general public until those new weekly builds arrive.
[Desire HD Android Development] netsach:
Ok.

So as i understand (edit: in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533007) you use most of their sources, right ?

So your next monthly build should include it ?

Edit: i just noticed this was the 12.1 thread and not the 11.0 thread ... sorry

Hi Musta,

When I try to Flash the 2nd Aug nightly (Clean Install) the installation script takes along time, at the line:

'detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/by-name/system'

And then I get the following error:

'ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-12.1-20150802-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip

Any idea what's going wrong? Or am I doing something wrong?

Trying to setup my Desire (took it out after ages) as my backup phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Are you using the latest TWRP recovery (or at least a very recent version). Also it would be a good idea to format your /data and /cache partitions as either ext4 or f2fs - ext4 is regarded as being more stable as it has been out for ages, I use f2fs myself and haven't heard of any negative reports from other users.

PS.

As it has been ages since you last used your phone, do you have a /lib partition?
[Desire HD Android Development] dg170775:
I am currently on 4EXT Recovery v1.0.0.6 RC2, don't know if that's too old. Should I flash TWRP 2.8.7 ? Also, now that I don't have a working phone as wiped everything, and update failed, How can I flash TWRP?

Both /data and /cache as ext4 only.

I don't have a /lib partition.
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
Yes you need to "upgrade" to TWRP as 4EXT hasn't been supported for a long time.

I have attached a zip file which you need to put in the root (top level) of your sdcard. Boot your phone into the bootloader (hold volume down as you press the power button) - fastboot will detect the file and ask you if you want to install it, use the volume keys to select yes and press the power button to confirm - this will install TWRP 2.8.7.0 into recovery for you.

Reboot into recovery again (you may need to delete that zip file from sdcard first) and wipe everything except sdcard, to make sure there are no leftover files from an earlier version of Android, and to ensure that the partitions are properly formatted as ext4 - there was a bug in previous versions of 4EXT which may cause problems later on.

Sorry for the more detailed instructions - I'm not sure what your experience levels are / how good your memory is if you haven't updated this phone for a while.
[Desire HD Android Development] dg170775:
Awesome!! It looks like the Recovery was the problem.

I now have latest TWRP recovery and have managed to get the 2nd Aug nightly + GAPPS successfully installed.

Thanks rjand, your instructions were spot on..
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
F2FS

A friendly notification to those using F2FS: it uses more space for filesystem internals than EXT4. So if you want to max out how much space you have on data partition, stick with EXT4.

I hadn't noticed this before. It came out now while messing with F2FS for system partition.
[Desire HD Android Development] Waheed Hassan:
Thank you Mustaavalkosta

You're good dev, because of you I tasted all android flavors on my htc desire hd. It was truly amazing experience and now I moved on and bought Samsung galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) and I rooted it because I like customs roms based on cyanogenmod. :cool:

I flashed this rom today (updated from randomblames TakTik rom) and my phone doesn't overheat.

I don't use facebook, hangouts and skype and try to close apps I don't need. For what it is it works quite well but I had to flash the rom twice. When I tried it the first time it seemed extremely sluggish and barely usable. It froze when I first tried to select my region, then it didn't connect to my WLAN (had to connect to my router as a new device) and then it didn't want to log into my Google account.

I'd like to try this rom, but I do need a recovery with touch screen functionality, since, like many others Ace owners, my volume rocker is dead, and so touch screen is the only way the recovery can be controlled.
