[Q] Updating between nightly rom updates - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

hi sorry if this is a bit of a noob question, but im currently using one of the 4.3.0 CyanogenMod 10.2 nightly updates which is great, but I am wondering when there is a newer nightly update with a few more bug fixes to install this, can i simply using clockworkmod install the newer version from install from sdcard or.... should i do i need to do a full installation. i.e. do a full data wipe, wipe cache and then install the new version from zip.
just if i can i would like to save my data and just get the bug fixes, but if not so be it dont want to brick my phone, lol

They put today update. The root aces is fixed since last night update. But I still got problems with the browser..

Oh I'm not having any problems with the browser, I find my applications disappear out of folders and the folders themselves disappear off of the home screen but everything else works fine.

actually fixed this problem by replacing the trebuchet browser with nova launcher which works perfectly on my 4.3 rom

market Delays

Hi everyone,
I got a little problem with my market. When i try t install apps there is a delay in showing the app content, the delay is about 32 seconds.
Ok no wipe is helping i wiped everything including SD. But i think it's because the google restore off apps.
Here is a logcat http://pastebin.com/rBYNK9sd i don't know where to look at so if someone can give a look?
I also started a thread at cyanogenmod > http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/2589-market-slow/ But i didn't get reallt help there so i'm trying here.
I'm running CM 5.0.6 Fresh install
Seems to be an issue with the Market itself. Been seeing the same thing here with both my N1 running Enoms and my partners stock MT3G
it always worked till i installed a fresh install then everything broke, if its the market then a wipe should had fixed it, right? or am i wrong here. anyways it really annoying the market doesn't work well anymore.
If you look at CM forum you will see that after a fresh isntall using another google account doesn't cause a problem. so i'm 99% sure it's because of the google restore off apps. how can i delete that back-up.
I saw in settings you could disable it and delete everything but that didn't work.

New market - automatic?

Is the new market pushed to our phones automatically? I'm on CM7.1 nightly. Just wondering if I should just install it manually or wait.
Thanks!
Why not install manually in any case?
Look for 3.0.27

Good point, not like it would make a difference. Thanks Jack.
is it still enormous? The last time I tried installing it the thing was 8mb in size...seriously hurt my poor n1's space-free so i uninstalled it.
It has always auto update for me. You can wipe data for market using TB to speed up the process.
If not you can manually install it, make no diffrent how you get it, work the same.

wiped with TB, rebooted and received the new market
@disgustip8ted If you are rooted and have Titanium Backup installed (you might need the pay version... I can't remember), you can select these updates and merge them back into the ROM to replace the original market. This will clear up all that space.
@baseballfanz My market update worked every time except for this last one. I was at the old one until I decided to wipe and update my gapps to T's latest unofficial gapps file with the #151.
Uninstalled it too. New Market was too slow and clunky for me.

problems

Hey all
I've had my vivid for a while, I'm running CM10 with sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39590429). The other day I rebooted my phone and it took longer to boot than usual, it randomly reset itself and I lost everything (luckily I had a backup ). for some reason the kernel had downgraded itself, went from beta 14 to beta 12. I restored it from my backup but then it kept resetting itself, all the while I stayed on beta 12. Now I've decided to start a fresh, reinstalled CM10 to find that its not installing google play, another weird thing is that my kernel wont change, it stays as beta 12 even after following the instructions fully to upgrade. I need the newer kernel because it has some fixes I need. Also I need ideas as to why google play isn't installing. Any help/ideas are appreciated
Thanks in advance

Which version of TWRP ?
latest i believe
The disappearing apps is because of a problem with sultan kernel... it seems to corrupt the file system if you reboot at a certain time... I have no idea what causes it to corrupt
The play store problem is from you doing a full wipe without installing GAPPS...
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
Really? I didn't think CM10 needed gapps. I just tried a standalone install of play store 4.0.26 and it installed, but it just crashes when I try open it
That's cause you need other files from GAPPS for it to work
And the play store MUST be a system app
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
ok thanks, will try that
Trust rignfool he knows what he's talking about lol. And yes you do need gapps for cm10. The only problem with cm10 that I have is very poor in call volume. Since I'm speaking of it. @ rignfool do you know a fix for that? (very low in call volume)

CM 11 erros.

Hello,
I installed CM11 on my galaxy s gti9000. All went fine but I get some errors. I tried one nightly build and I constantly got this error: " Unfortunately media manager has stopped." Now with the latest build Download manager isn't working, neither does the gallery. I get a similar error. I can disable those apps but I'll not be able to download apps from google play store. I'm certain that I did something wrong as I'm a newbie in this stuff. Any help?
Hi,
from which version you have installed cm11 ??? Did you wiping cache and data-partition??? Please give us more infos, what you have done ...

I think it was from 2.3 as the tutorial said. It was like a month ago so I'm not sure... Is there anyway I can downgrade to a good version and then install CM11 again? If yes, what version do you recommend me?

Actually, downgrade doesn't seem to be necessary in your case. I would on your place first try to install ROM again as "clean installation" and it should work well.
download latest CM11 nigtly ROM
download Gapps from the opening post
paste the files on the root folder of either internal or external SD card of your i9000
reboot to recovery mode
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
install zip CM11
install Gapps
reboot
enjoy
Any news about your CM11-Installation??? Does it work now with clean-install-tutorial ???

Hello, sorry for late response. I did a clean install as suggested with the 29 december nightly rom and everything works great now. Before the install, I was getting another error, something with android.process.media has stopped working and I deleted every media file on my internal sdcard because I had lots it (few hundreds I think). I don't know which solution worked but everything works fine now. Thx for the support.

No problem, thanks and great to hear that your CM11 now works as desgined :good:
The media-process sometimes makes problems, you can clean data and a few time later it will start again searching for media files ...this should work ...

CM12.1 to CM13 update help

I have a quick questions concerning the update to CM13:
(I'm running the latest 12.1 nightly, which is getting quite old I guess, so I read in the developer forum that the latest CM13 build are running quite well, but I'm not really sure how to update..)
- In the developer forum I seem to understand it's recommended to download the nightly, also download gapps and install both before booting again, right?!
- But - will I keep my data, apps, settings?
- Do I have to take care of sth else? (I already made a nandroid backup and copied the sd card)
- I'm also unsure because the CM updater just offers me the newest CM13 nightlies .... could I just click on install there?!!?!
(Hope it's okay to ask these questions )
Yes, you could just install CM 13 from the updater and lose nothing. However it is recommended to wipe the device, then install CM 13.
THanks for help, it didn't work as easy yesterday. (I had to flash cm-13.0-20160119-NIGHTLY-victara and open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160120 in TWRP manually, or maybe just the gapps manually because before that CM would "optimize apps" until it would reboot again, it never stopped. After flashing nano gapps it worked somehow...)
But today I destroyed everything again, :crying:
I clicked on the cm-13.0-20160120-NIGHTLY-victara update from within CM (CM updater)
It went to TWRP, applied the update, rebooted and since then it is in this bootloop again, I had yesterday
but flashing gapps doesn't fix it today
- someone got an idea how to fix this?; the most thing I care about are the new Messages in Whatsapp Messenger I didn't read before clicking on the update ... is there a way to keep them? (For example, if I back up /data now, wipe my phone, install CM13, restore /data ... would this work?!)
it would be great if someone could help me, I read the forums, but so far nothing I tried worked.
(I tried flashing todays nightly, yesterdays, my last step was wiping /system and then installing CM, gapps ... but it stays in this bootloop)
Sorry for being a newbie; if there's no help, please just tell me that there's no way to get back my unread messages, then I'll wipe and start from scratch :crying:
I somehow managed to boot once again, backup my Whatsapp data, then I wiped everything, made a clean install and everything was fine exept some data loss ..
(If someone has the same problem I might have some tips, but I'm not sure)
Until it started to bootloop again
But I think I know what my problem was and is. Back in CM12.1 I had the Google Search app "deactivated", after the update to CM13 ... I think I deactivated it again and that's what caused the endless boot.
(I just tried it again now after an backup, it's the cause, I hope after restoring the backup I didn't destroy everything again
But ... is this okay behavior? Back in CM12 I could disable Google Search without problems..
- Should I report this somewhere? Where? or is it not important?
- Would there be a way to "activate" Google Search from outside the OS?
