[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hey, my nexus 7 only boots in recovery mode to CWM, it has no ROM installed on it because I was trying to install a ROM from CWM and didn't back up my initial one (I'm a dingus, I know). Because the CWM version I have is 6.0.1.9., it won't install KitKat roms, since 6.0.4 or higher is needed.

How do I update my CWM from within recovery mode? I can sideload .zip files, but they give status 7 errors. Can I just sideload the CWM .img and have it work? Or do I need a different approach?

I am working with a Mac os X Yosemite and a Nexus 7 2012 WiFi.
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, I'd highly recommend you use twrp instead of cwm. There is very little support for cwm. Google nexus 7 teamwin. Flash the.img file in fastboot. Then boot into twrp, recovery, and flash your rom.

I achieved root today, and am looking into Xposed but so far it seems to be only in BETA mode for lollypop/Sony phones.

Is this right, or is there a confirmed working version?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
yes xposed works fine
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrled:
Its in Alpha state, but is working. Many modules is not working on LP yet.

I use ALPHA 4 and NUTs dual recovery 2.8.14.

here a thread with the modules that I tested and work

Sorry for my English!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abprie:
here's another thread that lists working xposed modules. I installed many of them myself:

the easiest way for me to get xposed was to root, install dual recovery, and flash this:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1yal:
So I'm trying to flash Cyanogenmod12 in TWRP But whenever I try to do, It shows me Error executing updater binary in zip twrp. The problem is that whenever I try to flash a lollipop ROM I get this error. Anyone know how can I fix it? Flashing Other ROMs is fine.

Thanks in advance.

do you use twrp 2.8.0.0?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobie81:
Hi all,

I still use my old defy sometimes as a gps when I'm out and about. I'm running the official stable cm7.2 build. It has no sim card so I just connect to wifi at home to update apps etc. I find that after a couple of months wifi stops working properly. It's still connected but no traffic comes in or out. Happens on all wifi networks. I've found the only way to fix it is to wipe and reflash Cm. Then it's fine again for a few more months. Any ideas? It's a bit of a pain to have to set it up each time.

Are there any other roms that perform well, good battery life etc but are also very stable?

Thanks a lot
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobie81:
It looks like disabling wifi-n by editing the tiwlan.ini has solved the problem for now. But I'll wait and see if the issue happens again. The process is simple and described here: http://chromloop.com/2011/09/how-to...roblem-wifi-connected-but-no-internet-access/ The hardest part is probably making sure that you have read/write access to the files in question.

Note that I had to edit two files, tiwlan.ini and tiwlan_ap.ini (as someone mentioned in the comments of the above link) to get wifi working properly.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
may i suggest you do a nandroid backup after you reflash your rom. then the next time it plays up again you just have to do a recovery instead of re-flashing and re-setup your gps again?

edit:especially now that you've edited your rom as in your second post.

Suggest:

Make backup of all camera apps you have (Instagram, WhatsApp, Retrica, Camera360, etc...) in front camera mode, because most of them crash if are in back camera mode.

I used Titanium Backup to make it!:highfive:

Thanks working good, perfect :D
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] KCKitsune:
Does anyone here know of a tool to determine why a phone doesn't go into deep sleep? The reason I'm asking this is that I installed this ROM and the phone doesn't go into deep sleep that much. I just want to eliminate any possible app as being the culprit for the problem.

Also when I try to use CPU-Z to look at the information about the phone, the phone reboots... every time. Can anyone help me identify WHY that happens?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] falcaobr:
To run deep sleep put these lines at the build.prop:

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.power_collapse=1

Don't forget to adjust then the build.prop permission before restarting.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] SomeDuder:
EDIT: Nevermind! Turns out that using EXT4 for your external SD card isn't a smart move! Crisis averted. ROM works like a charm!

I know we've been waiting for a while for a stable, fully functional ROM for our S5 Mini, but spamming the board asking for an update gets people like me hopeful that there is an update from jackeagle and we then have to live with the disappointment that it is NOT.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] jackeagle:
LOL what is the meaning of this statement ?

Fixing Camera is not easy task and blame Samsung for it for their incomplete sources .. You wanna know status of fixing ask [MENTION=6208265]kaiodduarte[/MENTION] everyday day and night I m giving test builds to him in order of trying fixing Camera .. Its not a easy task has Samsung never released Sensor sources in their any kernel source :eek: So please do not ask same question again and again i know all need camera but there is no other way then waiting .. you are on user side hence your happy but when you see developer side work it is lot lot lot tough .. :eek: just wait and be happy that atleast there is some development for this device now when comparing past were all were making threads asking for any developer to develop cm ..:eek: :)

had stock bootloader 5.1.1 yes

i use liveboot, is that the problem ?

and i also added the following lines in the build.prop :-

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.power_collapse=1

that might also be the problem

did you,or anyone else for that matter,do any of these things ?

btw-i re flashed and will be refraining from doing all the above listed things

hopefully it'll all be good this time

Did you flash stock 5.1.1 for updating bootloader & baseband before?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] freitaz:
I was on 4.4, flashing to 5.1 before installing cm solved it, thanks
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] GuessWhatBBQ:
Not really

But I may have found the issue .Maybe

Will comment later
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] jackeagle:
Yes i have checked. have you flashed latest Gapps ? download new gapps and flash it.

Also do not use any such props and while using them if you face issues then its not CM fault or build fault but its the prop modification you did. such bugs will be ignored because you have chosen to modify system with something. Since many those who have used didnt have any such issues its evident your modification in system props is the cause of the issue you are facing.

on a side note its been already said and saying again FLASH CM AFTER UPGRADING STOCK TO LOLLIPOP. DO NOT FLASH ON STOCK KK BOOTLOADER.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] GuessWhatBBQ:
I've flashed it over the 5.1.1 bootloader as I've said numerous times

And I think the problem happens when I use the night mode in the ' live display' settings. I will keep on checking this theory

I found the build prop lines in this very thread and have heard no negative comments about it so it's most likely not the cause of the problem.

I will also refrain from using liveboot just to be sure.

I am not blaming either cyanogenmod or the build, just trying to find a solution to a problem.

And I hope the problem won't persist.

And no I've not flashed the latest gapps as the old ones work just fine

How to use 1.33 Gb of RAM instead of 1 Gb. There's a solution for TouchWiz 5.1.1. So what about CyanogenMod?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] GuessWhatBBQ:
Problem has returned

what was the problem found in the catlogs again ? [MENTION=5216756]jackeagle[/MENTION]

not blaming build

probably some stupid backed-up setting that keeps coming back by logging-in to google or its a hardware issue

btw-didnt use liveboot, didnt modify build.prop (except for soft-keys),didnt use live-display

i dont what to do,please advice
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] martikyan:
Solution for the "Soft keys" problem

Extract zipped file and paste it into the folder /system/usr/keylayout/ (needs root). Make sure that the permissions of the Genetic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout/ are rw- r-- r-- then reboot your phone... Tadaam :)

Impressions of CM

I just install this ROM on my G800H in order to verify that the locating satellites (satellites fix) would be faster.

Only 3 bugs:

Not working Brightness Adjustment

Capactive buttons not working

GPS not working

Referring to brightness adjustment, managed to solve installing and uninstalling Lux Lite app from playstore (Thanks Sasukame).

Referring to the capacitive buttons, I realized that sometimes when switching on phone capacitive buttons function normal, but after a while they stopped working. You can use the free app "softkey Enabler" from google play (there is also the paid app "Virtual Button Bar"), bypassing this problem until a solution is found.

However, the GPS does not work at all (I used the app "GPS Status" for testing and not satellite located).

In all, this ROM is faster than stock rom.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] El-capo:
Please and when I try to uninstall an app the phone just restarts without removing the app any solution to this?:confused:

And the capacitive buttons are giving me serious problem please help!!!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] Pepe1234pepe:
question - answer

I see it very difficult for developers to write a code for a device that they don't own. Always relaying in others' assistance, reviews and, why not, complains.

What jackeagle has done is admirable.

Since the very beginning, it is definitively a flaw. Never mind capacitive keys.

Maybe that's why not so much interest since middle of January.

I have always installed CyanogenMod in my androids, but they were always very/way superior than stock ROMs.

I only wish this were the case for my almost perfect Mini S5.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] rxmd:
I've been using this ROM for two months now on my G800H, in daily use. It's certaily stable enough for that.

Capacitive buttons are erratic. I ended up using soft keys all the time.

GPS seems to be working on my device.

The battery sometimes behaves erratically. Normally it lasts 1,5-2 days on a charge, but sometimes it eats through 50% in two to three hours. This type of problem tends to be difficult to diagnose and to clearly attribute to a ROM, but for what it's worth I didn't have that issue with the same apps on a stock ROM.

The one issue that bothers me is that there is a persistent problem with the SIM card settings when switching internet connectivity from one SIM card to the other. Often when I change that setting, it looks as if the change has been accepted, but when I close the SIM card settings and reopen it, I find that the change has reverted to its previous value. Similarly, when I want to change which SIM slot is 2G and which is 3G, I find that the change is registered, but does not apply; in that case the setting that formerly showed 2G would show "3G (currently: 2G)" and won't actually make the change. In that case, deactivating and reactivating the SIM cards or entering flight mode does not work, I have to reboot the phone.

It's a pity that development has stalled, but if jackeagle indeed does not own a G800H then it's admirable that we got as far as we did. I really like the phone and I'm ready to make a donation to continue development. Alternatively, if there is volunteer developer with a good track record of CM maintenance, and he is ready to commit himself to producing a stable release of CM 12.1 and/or 13.0 (I'm dreaming here ;)) I'm also ready to donate a G800H. Maybe on permanent loan while the development is going, and as a donation when the 13.0 release for the G800H appears on the Cyanogenmod site ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] sasukesama:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] Be.0:
Thank you for your work on this. I thought I had everything work (except for the known bugs), but when I turned off WiFi, I realized there is one critical bug preventing me from keeping CM on my new phone. My data connection does not work at all! The reception icon on the top shows I have full signal strength but there's a "!" next to it. I tried toggling data off and on in the settings and switching my preferred network to 2G, but there was no change. When I try to go to any web site, I immediately get a domain name not resolved error. I am in the US (Chicago) and my carrier is AT&T and I only have one SIM. For now I have flashed back to the 5.1.1 India stock firmware from Sammobile.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] cwfocke:
I have 2 SIMs, and on seldom occasions I get 2 !s. Up to now, reboot always resolved this.

Dual SIM, in general, is implemented better in CM than in stock ROMs in my opinion.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Original Android Development] Be.0:
I wish it was that simple.

I don't know if this matters, but my device only has one SIM slot. I can see there's a spot next to the SIM slot where there could be another one, but it is filled with a plastic filler piece.
