A dirty flash is when you just flash the ROM over whatever is there without wiping the system partition. You DO NOT do this when going from one ROM to a different ROM or from Stock to a ROM. This can be done when flashing a new Nightly of the same ROM. For example, if you installed the 7/26 Nightly of this CM you can flash the 7/27 Nightly without wiping the system and it keeps your settings.

A clean flash is when you wipe the system partition. You HAVE to do that when switching ROMs or going from Stock to a ROM but its not needed when just installing a new Nightly of the same ROM.

I guess you can kind of think of a dirty flash as just doing an update.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cjvzla:
what if i stay on the 7/26 build and wait until 7/31 to update...can i dirty flash that many updates apart?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] bullet25:
I'm going to preface this with AS FAR AS I AM AWARE: yes, but I'm not 100% on that.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
Just reflash CM over your current setup.

Let me explain the softkey issue here:

In CM, the framework exists to add in a force navbar/key Disabler for softkey devices to give this option. CM is generally strict on certain design criteria in order to keep continuity among different devices. The rule here has been if the soft keys hide completely when disabled then it's OK to have this option. This is what you may see as backlit keys on Samsung or Oppo hardware.

Our keys however are not backlit, they are painted on, and cannot hide. Therefore, unless I hear different from CM on this matter, I will not be adding this feature. It makes little sense to have duplicate navigation options and waste screen space when your still stuck with the buttons.

I'm flash every time because some app missing after flash nightlybuild.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Abhishek1108:
One last thing

1)Do i need to reflash gapps??

2)Do i need to wipe cache?? (Before installing or after installing???)

3)Also when i first flashed cm using twrp it gave me an error executing the update binary. So i flashed using cm recovery.. So should i flash the newer one using cm recovery or twrp??

Edit: Couldn't wait for the new build to download (my internet is terribly slow) so just dirty flashed the same cm build as the previous one. Now it has booted up and is optimising apps. But still twrp couldn't flash cm (error executing the updater binary) so had to use CM Recovery.

Didn't wipe the cache.

Didn't flash Gapps again.

Once optimised i will see how it goes.

Edit: It has become terrible. All google apps are constantly crashing.

Notification bar is not working at all.

All my contacts are gone. So now doing clean install.

Sorry if this has been asked, I tried reading through most of the pages.

07/27 nightly, Is there a problem with data for Rogers? I couldn't find a way to get data to work, always had a ! in the signal bars. It would go away when my wifi was turned on.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hardwarechaos:
Hi there

Concerning the softkeys:

I use tasker to execute a "settings put secure dev_force_show_navbar 1" (as root) at boot.

SoftKeys show up and even the menu in the settings to add more stuff to the navbar.

If it is that easy to change, I don't mind the CM Standard here. ;)

Maybe someone else prefers this over flashing.

Hi, NFL Game Pass crashes when I play a vid. Camera exposure is also broken with the latest nightly

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7_1FZEjFLh5NXZKX2dGMGhJQU0

Here's the syslog, hope it helps.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Can any of the built in features somehow be added to the rom?

For example:

- the camera app (it has some cool features and it's quite nice overall).

- the gestures while the screen is turned off

- the ability to record calls

What's the chance of any of those to be added? What about other stuff?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Abhishek1108:
Does it work in CM,

if yes can u give me a step by step tutorial because i am new to tasker.

Thnx

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] HEZAiKU:
Please make it compatible with Z00D too
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hardwarechaos:
Hi

imho works only in CM.

gonna try (but due localisation some terms might differ):

Start Tasker and make sure you are on the Profile Tab.

Hit the Plus Symbol and select Event.

In the popup choose System and select Device Boot

Now here apears a edit event window (not sure why :P )just hit the back button.

The Profile list should appear and in the right half you can select New Task.

Optionally give it a name and hit the checkmark.

Now you should be in the edit task window.

Hit the plus button and select Code and the Execute Shell.

As Command enter

settings put secure dev_force_show_navbar 1

and make sure you check the use root checkbox.

Hit the back button whichshould bring you back to the edit task screen.

To test the action you can hit the play button down left.

You might get ask to confim root and your navbar should appear.

If the navbar appeared you can end the edit task with the back button.

Hope that works.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] texla:
Thanks to all for this amazing ROM. The little issues are not so bad for me. Google app crashes every once in a while but no biggie. Camera is pretty unusable and I did install the Asus one but found the same bug with ISO or exposure apparently constantly making image bright.

I did go to manual ISO and chose 400 instead of auto and that stopped this issue completely. Don't know if that helps you guys find a fix. Either way this is a much better experience on my phone then Asus is giving us. Hats off to you guys!

You 550 people we haven't forgotten you guys just don't have a experienced dev in group who has one, so hard to work. One guy should have one in a few days so hopefully we can get that one covered soon too.

Ugh...xposed. Good luck. We have enough issues still I don't even want to hear xposed yet, let alone work on it.

For now it will be manual updates just like you just did to install. If/when we hit official status you will get OTA's like other official CM devices

Just need to wipe /System and install latest nightlie CyanogenMod and GAPPS.

Everything work fine ;)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Mononon:
So, there are a couple of things to consider here. The answer to your question is no, you do not. You can flash without wiping anything. BUT, wiping system is a safer option when flashing nightlies, as you can't be sure what will break with a dirty flash. Some people are having MMS, cell signal, and camera issues (among other things) with dirty flashes. So, flash without wiping at your own risk. That being said, dirty flashing doesn't seem to brick the device, so you can also try to dirty flash an update and if something isn't working go back and clean flash instead.

Keep in mind there seems to be a bug with TWRP Backup/Recovery. If you decide you just want to dirty flash a test then revert back to your previous build. That's not an option. Your SIM1 slot will stop working if you try to revert back using recovery. Several people (including myself) have reported that issue. It's super annoying. So, basically, whatever you do, understand that your decision is essentially final.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] 104921:

________________________________________________________

I lost MMS but was able to get it back by following these steps:

If You have two APNs showing ->

-Keep the Cricket AIO and delete the Internet one. With only the Cricket AIO one showing and selected it should start working. Go airplane mode and back if needed.

If you only have the original Cricket AIO showing ->

-Select Menu on the APN screen

--choose Reset to default. It will add the Internet APN.

Then follow steps above. Select the Internet APN and delete it leaving only the Cricket AIO APN.

*The correct settings seem to be mmsc.aiowireless.net & proxy.aiowireless.net not the mmsc.cricketwireless settings.

I think I may have narrowed it down to what's causing it. It might be the reboot option in the power menu. I'll run down the steps what happened (I'm on TMo/metroPCS since this does narrow down a lot of people with the same issue)

>Installed LTE/4G indicator in xposed

>ofc you have to enable it and reboot

>Decided to not use the reboot option in xposed and use the power menu instead

>reboot went fine, had to reoptimize a few apps no big deal

>Finished boot, no data. The "!" Came up, 3646 into the phone dialer and saw connected to HSPA+ but GPRS was disconnected.

>Waited 5 minutes since TMo can be a bit slow

>Still no connection.

>Did a full shutdown and waited 30 seconds

>Powered right back on

>Had 4G

I also want to add that I've also used the reboot option before, and I would still have data. So the occurance is probilby random

The only other thing I can think of is that your download is corrupt. Redownload the latest nightly and try flashing it again. If that doesn't work I don't know. I doubt it as anything with the install script because nobody else is reporting this issue.

I installed CM 12.1 7/27 build cleanly. I used TWRP to wipe clean everything but the microSD card. I installed it followed by gApps immediately. No dirty flashing here ;)

I double, triple and quadruple checked my APN settings. I deleted and manually added them. I also used Textra and evolveSMS and manually setup the APNs in those apps. With stock ZenUI ROM MMS won't work unless I use a 3rd Party app like Textra when the device is connected to wifi. The stock messaging app won't automatically switch to Cellular data for MMS messages.

Unfortunately with CM12.1 soi far it doesn't matter. I am going to try the 7/28 build right now and see if it works. I'll let you know. Oh and just a reminder I'm talking about Cricket Wireless. I would post my APN settings but can't because I'm new and it interprets some of my settings as outside urls. urgh.

Thanks for the help guys and gals!

MMS working for Cricket

Update. I now having working MMS with CM12.1 (0728 build) on cricket wireless. The only differences between my attempt today from yesterday are these. 1. I cleared cache/dalvik after installing CM and GApps and 2. In the APN settings I saved my entry with the name Cricket rather than Cricket AIO or Internet. That's it so I don't really know.
