What are the steps in flashing this? And what are the nightlys? I have done roms before but mainly with other phones.. Do you flash 12.0 then the nightleys up update to newest build?
Need help, lol.. Do I use ODEN? Thanks everone.
If it is your first flash, just flash the newest nightly. Each nightly is a full rom (minus the g apps of course) with minor updates from the development from that day.
You do not have to flash every nightly. However I recommend not getting more than a week behind. Also you can just flash the newest nightly when you chose to you do not need to flash all of the ones in between.

And use ODIN? Where is the best place to find g apps?
and I want G apps 4.4 not 5.0 correct?
This is where I get my gapps. I've used 4.4.4 and the 5.0 gapps. And the tiny gapps and the pac rom gapps.

The 5.0 PA Gapps work great with CM 12.
If it is your first flash, I'd recommend a clean flash, as far as the nightlies are concerned you can just dirty flash over your current build.
Ok I did the PA Gapps.. now with the s view, is there a way to have it still? Also I added Facebook but cant get it to sync contacts
Have you tried these 2 things?

Hi all,
I am still running stock 2.3.6 but I am thinking about unlocking my phone to run CM. Anyway, I have been browsing through the dev CM7 thread and found that there are a lot of random reboots, lockups and other problems in the 7.1 stable release. I am thinking that installing the an older nightly perhaps would give me a better experience. Which nightly would you recommend?
Thanks.
I think its not good to stay on
a single nightly because there are few tweaks with every new nighty which makes it better from last one.
Anyway I recommend you to try cm7.1 rc1 before trying nightlies
For some time.

On my N1 Cm 7.1 is stable to but playing videos in flash full screen causes so many lock ups, i hope cyanogen would release a minor update for it

I'm one latest nightly, build 227. Very good and stable for me.
Just make sure you do a clean wipe including system partition
when coming from a different ROM.
Thanks guys! Do you know of a bug tracking page that lists all the bugs that CM7.1 currently has?
Thanks.
Not a bug tracker, but I find this page very useful and visit it daily to see if I want to upgrade to the latest nightly or not: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=passion
Looks like the latest nightly is marked as 7.1.0.1... #227 as baseballfanz said. Maybe that will fix the problems you mentioned... however, I will note that I've been running 7.1 stable since the day it was released (nightlies before that) and have had zero problems at all. No lockups, no reboots, no problems at all no matter what I do with it...
7.1.0.1 is a maintenance release for a few devices. The N1 was not included in this list. And most of the reboots and instability issues with the stable release are resolved when people perform full wipes of the phone. It has been rock solid for me.
Thanks guys... I have installed CM71 Nightly 231 last night. It was going smooth at the beginning but I got stuck on flashing Amon_Ra recovery. For some reason my phone wasn't taking the CM themed version but the original version installed fine.
First problem after flashing the ROM and gapps was Market wasn't downloading apps for some reason. I think it was because the phone was reinstalling all the apps at the same time and it just couldn't handle the load. I had to install the apps one after another and that got through it.
The phone rebooted itself when I played a video for the first time, but it's been working rock solid so far. Now I'll have to figure out how to use S2E!
Thanks!
I want to know that the official cm10 has any bugs??

The best way to know would be to read their thread (last few pages and OP) as well as trying it for yourself.
Not entirely sure if it's related to CM, but only on the latest stable (10.0) I've had issues with my WiFi not wanting to stay connected, even on a strong connection.
Everything else works great!

I just installed it yesterday. Problem with mine was that the ASOP keyboard not working. Luckily I just dled teh swiftkey.apk a day earlier. Play store wasn't working for me either and the browser just open and close. That's all i tried. I'm going back to CM9 til I know whats wrong and back up some data.
I installed the stable cm10 and the gapps. Hope others dont run in to the same problem as me
Did you restore your apps or app data? That would most likely cause this problem. Or flashing the wrong gapps.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
No, once I got cm10 installed. I was trying to change some of the settings and found "keyboard(ASOP) stopped working" or some error message along the line of that when I try to enter wireless password. After installing swiftkey, I tried opening play store and it just have "server error"
So I haven't gotten to getting titanium backup yet to restore apps
I just took the latest gapps (the first link on the list), so I'm not sure if that's the right one. I'll try again during the weekend. I'll let you guys know if it goes well.
I'm on CM 10 latest stable build, 4.1.2. Came from GB kk4 plus corn 7 kernel. with latest gapps. I use touchpal keyboard.
I have TiBU pro, but rather than batch install apps, I went though google play to install apps, then selectively restored data on apps with TiBU as needed. While this took some time with this approach (96 apps), CM10 is flawless, virtually no probs at all. it actually seems more stable than before.
at times a little laggy but not a showstopper.

(edit: added keyboard info)
UPDATE: Just flashed to CM10 stable. I found out that the GAPPS I used last time was actually for CM10.1.0 while the CM10 that is out is only CM10.0.0
Be sure to get the right version of GAPPS. The latest one they have is for CM10.1.0

Looks like I'm the unlucky one den. I'm about to try again. I'm using cm's 3.0.8-g2311908 kernel.
Wish me luck.
you are correct, you want the 10.0.0 version from goo, which points to gapps 4.2, backward compatible to 4.1.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
thats what I used. I guess the 4.2 set the 'latest' bit in my brain.

Hello, I am happily running Cyanvivo 10.1 (thanks developers!). I know there is an update due out soon, and this was my first time installing a custom rom. My question is, knowing that OTA isn't supported, when the update comes out will have have to wipe and re-flash, loosing everything, or is there an easier process saving my data? I looked around for the answer some but have not found it as of yet. Thanks!

The way I do it, I use SMS Backup&Restore and Titanium Backup. When I finish saving all my files, reboot into recovery, wipe everything but the SD card, and flash the ROM. When it boots up and setup is finished, then I just restore everything back using the apps listed previously.
Of course you can just dirty-flash if you're lazy but don't expect help if you run into problems. The only place where a dirty-flash should not be done is if:
1. You're switching ROM (ex. you are going from CyanVivo10.1 to SVHD v1.7.1)
2. It's the same ROM but it has a different base.

yes it is. I wrote this post before I went to the development to see PACman
I recommend PACman ROM as well due to its immense number of features (CM+AOKP+AOSPA)(CyanogenMod, Android Open Kang Project, Parnaoid Android).
That is if you don't mind the occasional bug here and there.
Hi everyone, i've tested various custom roms for my xt1052 (from cm 11 to cm12), and with every rom the gps isn't working....so i'm thinking that it's impossible that every rom has that bug..... is there someone that have solved to this problem? i read something about gps locking from stock, but i don't understand... can you explain it to me? Now i'm using the last aicp 5.0.2... Thanks
Reflash stock from clean wipe. Get a GPS lock. Install a custom ROM.... Profit?!?
My gps works fine on Eclipse rom 4.4.4

I've been using Here Maps on Epsilon project Rom for work with no problems. Last I read, several Lollipop Roms have bugs related to GPS?
Epsilon and Eclipse are stock roms, Custom roms are like Liquid Smooth, PAC, CM, PA, and others.
And I'm also with those GPS problems.

Well, i can't pass directly from stock to lollipop...i must flash a 4.4.4 rom first (if not i have bootloop)...i had locked gps in stock, then went to recovery, wipe, install 4.4.4 rom and when boot no gps signal....i'm doing something wrong?!
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can jump from 4.2.2 all the way to 4.4.4 or 5.0 if you like. However, going going backwards is a different story and should not be done.
Which version of Android are you currently running?

I'm using the latest aicp nightly 5.0.2.....but the gps on every cusyom rom doesn't work, only with stock.
I take no credit for this ROM as i am just posting a ROM from vanir. This is a link to the official nightly builds. We need more builds to try as the m7spr development is slowing down.
http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/m7spr/
I hope this is the right place for this if not it can be moved
I will give more information as soon as I flash and test it but for everyone else have fun
This build is stock lollipop with custom stock kernel, must install su app either via recovery or chainfire su app which works the best , also change animation effects to 0.25 for a quicker response, apps and features are in the screenshots , you will also see the recovery screenshots as this has a new feature which will find and resurrect your old gapps from previous ROM so if not using lollipop before please flash the correct gapps, also I am not using cellular service to test so anyone that does and tries it please post if working or not but everything else runs great. I will also attempt exposed on this ROM to see if it works.
Update - exposed settings confirmed working must flash via recovery with Selinux set to permissive then soft reboot , may take a couple reboots to get things settled but is confirmed working
Update 2 - if you think this ROM is too slow or battery life sucks use the elite aosp kernel by brymaster5000
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57240975
Update 3 - camera not working unsure if its the app it's self or an issue with the ROM
Tap and Pay work on this?
NFC works fine but no tap and pay option in settings , a work around is using google wallet app as I'm not the developer of this ROM their are other ROMs to choose from on the URL for the ROM I posted earlier I just posted the nightlies so there's always some bug check it out and give them a try something new to mess with
Hello I recently download Vanir ROM android 6.0.1 but any time I update the sim card is not detected but the rom works fine any help
