Flashing cm9 nightlies - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running cm9 a2 on my touch pad and would like to know how I would go about flashing the latest nightly which now include everything in alpha 2. I gather you can't flash from from rom manager. Also where do I get the latest nightlies? Any help would be appreciated.

Do a search in the dev forum for 'nightlies'. In the thread you'll find the download link, I think it's 'terrachata'. Install the file with cwm. (install zip > choose zip from sdcard). Do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache beforehand . If coming from cm9 alpha 2, no need to wipe/delete data, factory reset.

Absolutely no need to wipe anything.
I've flashed each nightly "over the top" of the previous version without any problem.
You can use Rom Manager to flash. Just tell it to use the existing version of CWM when it asks and check the version you have manually installed either 2 or 3 and away you go.
Then you can install all zip updates and mods the same way.
Check out buildprop-supreme-rohan-v1.1 for some cool tweaks including 120dpi screen settings.

With any android system, you should ALWAYS wipe at least cache and dalvik after flashing a rom update. It only takes 5 seconds, and can help you avoid big issues.

DON'T use Rom Manager to flash roms, it's just a bad idea. Many devices have been bricked because of that app. Just boot into recovery, install the zip, and wipe cache and dalvik. It only takes an extra 30 seconds to do it through recovery, and will make it so you don't have any issues.

Thanks for all the great advice! It would be nice to have a thread about the stability of the latest nightlies before you do a flash. How do you do a nandroid backup before an update? Does it take a lot of space? How do you do a restore if all doesn't go well?

There's one in the dev section.

Boot into recovery, and before doing anything else, go to Backup and Restore, then hit Backup. Backups will probably take about 600mb or so, more if you have a lot of apps on there. You only need to keep one backup on the device, and you can copy the backup off the memory onto a computer if you want to save space.

The same way you would flash a rom. Boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, then go to backup and restore, and hit restore.

I hate being a NOOB about this...I know there is a changelog that you can find here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+branch:ics,n,z
My question is does anyone know where I can find a less complex or more simple explanation (for us noobs that doesn't understand computerish sometimes! ) of what changes they have made to the nightlies?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Sorry again for the very noob question!

The nightlies are basically compiled each night from the cm9 source. Its an automated process so the changes are what was changed in the cm source in the last 24 hours. Usually its nothing major, if its something big you'll probably see an alpha posted on rootzwiki.

I'm interested in moving my backup from my touchpad to my computer to save space, however, my "backups" folder is empty...
As I'm writing this I'm realizing that I may have preformed a backup before doing a factory settings/data reset/wipe so would that be erased when I did the wipe/reset?
I know now that if coming from another version of CM9 their is no need to wipe the factory data/settings, instead just wipe the other two (forget what their called)

Should be in a folder called ClockworkMod

After updating nightlies
What should I expect to have to re install?
gapps?
dpi fix?
any launcher settings?
what typically breaks/resets and has to be re-configured?

DPI fix is all.

Any changes you make to your build.prop file will be erased on an update from one nightly to the next (or CM9 to another nightly). Anything else - apps, gapps, settings, etc), should not change.
Personally, I've become used to the 160DPI default, which works quite nicely on the latest nightly. Yes, there isn't as much screen space, but I don't mind. I don't have THAT many things I need on the screen at once - one widget, half a dozen or so app shortcuts, that's about it for my main home screen. So 160 works pretty well, especially for office docs and kindle reading.

160 v 120, what do they actually look like when compared? I know that running 160 has the portrait app grid view off kilter (landscape looks fine)

120 I find ends up with a row and at least one column off of the screen, so you can't use them. 160 doesn't have that issue unless you go portrait.

[Q] if i change roms...

From CY6.1 rc1 to rc2 what do I need to do to restore everything like I was restoring a backup?
You don't have to wipe anything except cache and dalvik-cache which will not affect you. Thus, you will not lose anything you currently have...
Just go in the recovery, manually wipe cache and dalvik-cache, flash the RC2 zip file and reboot, you're good to go.
Thanks for reply. I know how to flash roms. I'm trying to get an answer about apps and settings and such. I apologize for not elaborating.

..as gravufo said: "Thus, you will not lose anything you currently have..."
Just to be sure. Sounds too easy and you know the saying.
go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and do not do full wipe.
Then flash cy6.1 RC 2 and reboot and I'm set? If its that easy ill poop my pants. And then send you guys a picture. Just kidding.
It´s just that easy.
(Nandroid before...is never bad to have)
I know lotsa four letter words if it doesn't work out.
I updated from stable 6.0 but i never wiped cache. Does it matter?

Appreciate the fast replies guys. I just realized I wiped rc2 last night when I was cleaning up excess and stuff. So I guess ill wait. The gamble of a headache is not worth it for the small differences. I wish gingerbread would hurry up. I'm eager to see if it allows custom/assignable ringtones. My Nokia e71 is sorely missed for that feature.
It is not a gamble, and there won't be any headaches. Just flash the RC2 zip. Don't wipe anything, even the cache, just so you can feel safe.
Of course, make a full backup to appease your fears, but that won't matter.
Just flash the RC2 on top of your system.
I did it this morning while still laying in bed with only 70% battery left and not plugged into the wall. And I didn't even make a nandroid backup.
+1, just flash...
I mean even if you don't wipe cache and dalvik-cache it won't matter...it's just a preventive measure and even if you DO wipe them, you won't even notice since you DO NOT lose anything
I flash new nightlies every day and you can trust me on this one
Ok all you pushy Smarty pants. Do I need to worry about Google apps or just flash rc2?
Very simple answer that most managed to miss.
If you want to back up all data and apps, use titanium backup.(buy it, its worth it) if you ever lose everything or move to a different rom, this will bring your apps, data and settings along to a new rom, or after a wipe
If you want to make a back up of your rom, in case something goes wrong, do a nandroid backup from recovery. And yes nandroid before you flash ANYTHING. You never know what could go wrong.

No, you do not need to worry about Google apps...think of RC2 as an update, not a different ROM...When you update your stock from from an OTA, do you lose anything? Nope. That is exactly the same thing here.
Put the RC2.zip in your sdcard
Reboot in recovery
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache (you will NOT lose anything)
Flash zip from sdcard
Reboot
Voilà

So you don't have to reflash gapps? A couple if days ago I went from a 6.1 nightly to RC2 - I didn't wipe anything, but when it booted I did not have gapps (everything else remained)... I then flashed gapps and they returned, but I had to reconfigure everything related to gapps (notifications etc). This has dissuaded me from flashing the new nightlies because I do not want to set up gapps every time...

Well, I did hear about people losing their Gapps when flashing a few of the latest nightlies (right before RC2), but it never happened to me...Maybe it depends on where you had them installed before? I installed the updates from the market, so they ended up in /data/ and not in /system...since flashing overwrites /system I guess that could be the reason?
Dunno...Worst case, you just reflash the Gapps and restore the settings through Titanium Backup

Fairly sure if you flash Gapps at the same time as the latest rom, you don't have that problem.

[Q] Backup/Recovery account issues

Running CM7RC
Decided to try one of the themes so I did a backup first using ROM Manager.
Didn't like the themes so I tried to restore.
It is coming up without my google account and there is no option to add it in the account settings.
I've wiped and reapplied the backup and also fixed permissions to no avail so far.
I'm finishing a 2nd fix permissions after wiping everything (even Davlik).
Has anyone ever had this happen to them? If so, what was the fix?
I'd rather get it restored than start over...
Restoring the account settings in Titanium doesn't help either.
I'm screwed, aren't I?
Do you have the Google apps installed (market, etc)?

Did you use clockworkmod 3.0? It's been known to messed things up during nandroid restore.
Flash GAPPS like other have mentioned.
If not full wipe and start over, use AMon Ra or an older CWM version

Yeah, they were there when I restored the backup but they wouldn't open because there was no google account in the phone. Could flashing gapps fix this?

Yes, it is cwm 3.0
For now I've done a full wipe and started over and after a couple of days of tweaking I'll likely forget the incident. I might try restoring and flashing gapps but I have my doubts as to whether that would work.
I'm going to have to start being more vigilant about backing up apps/settings/data in other ways if a nandroid backup isn't dependable...
Thanks for the comments.
OK, I just flashed RC2 and the account issue popped back up so it isn't necessarily that backup I did before.

[ROM][FRUITCAKE] en.UK Stock 2.3.4 ROOTED - Made With ROM Factory

It appears that the package is broken. For the time being I have no way of remaking it. I hopefully soon will be able to make it again.
The other day I managed to get my hands on a UK ATRIX that was still running the official 2.3.4 rom (T-Mobile I think) so I stuck ROM Factory on it and made a fruitcake of it for your enjoyment.
As always with custom ROMs I am not responsible for anything you do to your device, you don't have to flash this if you don't want to!.
Also this is the first time I have used Rom Factory to do anything and I am completely unable to test it as the phone I made it from has an locked bootloader (does this matter?) so again flash with caution.
Features:
Rooted
No Webtop (Sorry )
Up to date Apps including super user
Here's a mirror on 4shared if anyone needs it

Yup. It is exactly that. It has no unique features other than the fact that it is the stock UK ROM that went missing at the same time as all of the file sharing websites in the form of a fruitcake.
Has anyone tried it to see if it works? I still have to phone (locked bootloader & It's not mine) I made it from (though not for much longer) and can have another go!
Thanks, I'll try it when I get back home.

Tried this yesterday. Had CM7 latest nightly running. Did a full wipe and clean install. But unfortunately, it kept booting into CM7 (not the one I had before flashing). I anyways tried logging into my Google account and the setup wizard force closed every time I tried. Had to revert to my previous setup
Not sure if I did anything wrong, I know the usual drill of installing custom ROMs.
Did anyone else give a try?

The script said that the flash was successful. Also it said that I should not forget to wipe cache and data, which I did anyways. No errors in the install script.
Not sure if the zip had the original ROM, coz it was booting into CM7, which is obviously not what you are trying to do. I did a full wipe, 3 times, so I guess there is no possibility for it to boot into my previous installation of CM7 nightly.
I saw your PM. Thanks. I will try today if I get some time off work and let you know.

[Q] No Google Play or app market

Hi Guys,
Ok, I've got an HP Touchpad 16gig. I've installed: CM9 Kernal version 2.6.35-palm-tenderloin (9-20121125-Nightly), Android 4.0.4,
I used Acme Installer3, gapps-jb-20121011.
So far it looks great and the touchpad is a joy to use. I also installed gapps but this is where something is wrong, for the life of me I cannot get Google Play store to work. When I click on the Play Store icon or the 'SHOP' shopping bag icon the app starts to open then it just returns to the page I'm on.
I do have an old Google Play accout that I can still access and see the apps I downloaded last year when I had a Flytouch pad. I also have a current gmail account and Google+ account.
So far I have tried:
Updating apps and ROMs using goo.im
Uninstalling and re-installing the gapps folder using a couple of different versions
Clearing the cache and making backups before making any changes etc.
Now I am very new to this game although I'm computer savvy, if anyone can help me with getting Google Play Store to work then that'd be great but please be gentle with me as I am learning as I go....
Many thanks,
Mark

Hi guys, many thanks for all the suggestions,
I can enter recovery but then the pad just starts as normal.
I've re-flashed everything but it has just made the touchpad slower and does not respond to touches very well and seems out of calibration.
I still don't have Google Play/Store even though I used gapps 29/04.
Can I completely wipe all traces of Android from the touchpad back to webos (which still works fine) and then I'll pay someone to install Android on the touchpad. I fear if I carry on trying to get this working properly I'll either completely foobar the pad or I'll throw it against the wall.....
Many thanks,

A massive thumbs up sstar for helping me out with my problems with googleapps/store etc. He explained a few things to try and now its all working
I also want to thank all the other members that contributed, I wasn't sure of how to do some of the things you suggested but I read and re-read what you all said and it finally sunk in...
I reflashed and installed cLockworkmod to delete all the Android guff and clear the cache etc, then I re-flashed using the latest CM9, ACMEInstaller 3, 6update and 29/04 gapps, it took two attempts but on the second attempt, success!!!
I now have a fully working Android pad with google store and I'm able to install all the apps I previously had on an older Android pad and a few new ones that look tasty and are essential for day to day usage and also give me better control over what I can actually do with the working device.
You guys have made my day.....:highfive:
Cheers, Mark.

Are you wiping cache/dalvik cache when flashing?
Yes, first try wiped cache/davlik, flashed, fixed permissions, then rebooted.
Second try, wiped cache/davlik, flashed, wiped again, fixed permissions, reboot.
Third try, same as first minus fixed permissions.
Fourth try, same as second minus fixed permissions.

It's a flashable zip(right) perms should be good. What rls you on. You haven't flash anything else that may cause problems when flashing the theme?

Yes, it's a flashable zip - downloaded from steal25's post in the Tranquil 4.3 RLS2 thread. Running 4.3 RLS2 and everything was fine until today when I flashed the theme (only thing I flashed in recent memory).

Maybe try a fresh install of rls2,let it boot,dont change anything in tweaks or setting then flash the theme,wipe dalvik and cache and see if it works then. I flashed it with no problems yesterday so maybe it has something to do with your settings

At this point, I'll settle for going back to the standard blue theme. So I tried a dirty flash of 4.3 RLS2 (wiping cache and davlik and then a reboot) but it didn't help either. Did that because, like a fool, I didn't backup anything before I flashed the theme. If nothing helps, I try to backup as much data as I can and then do a full wipe - but I would only like to do that as a last resort.

Thanks BD! Tried to post in that thread but I didn't have permissions to do so. Also, PM'ed steal25 and he asked if I could send him a log but when I run logcat all I get is:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
He suggested alogcat from the market so I got that a saved a log after a few of those errors. Let me know if I should let it run a bit longer and I'll re-post the log.

By the way, can I attach files to the post instead? If so, where is that option?

Well if you dirty flashed the original rom and it didn't fix the issue, then there really isn't anything anyone could give you to recover from your situation.
Be careful what you back up now as that data could be corrupted. At least I would suggest not to back up any system data.
I would do a clean install and then the theme again before bothering with more logcats.

First, thanks to everyone for their time and suggestions.
Decided to try another launcher (GO Launcher EX), which would buy me time until RLS3 is available. I remembered that I had TI installed and hoped to find a backup of Sense that I made after installing RLS2. Found it, restored it and rebooted and I'm up and running RLS2. There are some things that aren't functioning normally - can't go into Settings/Personalize, every reboot resets my home page, and I'm guessing a few others that I haven't found yet. I was able to make a backup of my Call Log, SMS, MMS, and pictures - the only items I was really worried about anyway - and will wait until RLS3 is ready.
Thanks again for everyone's help!
