Hey guys,
I have a nexus one currently running cm7 rc1.
I heard that rc2 came out.
Is there anyway that I could upgrade to rc2 without loosing anything that I currently have on rc1?
What do I do? Could I use rom manager?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Just flash it over but do a backup first just in case.
Yes, just use ROM Manager to flash to RC2, just don't do a factory reset / wipe and all your settings and apps will carry over.
Depending on what kid of user you are, you may also want to look at Titanium Backup, its a pretty amazing tool. It has a slight learning curve but it really lets you take control of what you want to carry over from one build to the next, specially when you are going between different rom products that require a complete wipe
Soooo, all I have to do is to download the rom and gapps, and only do a backup- no wipe. After I do that will I have the same layout as rc1 but it will be rc2?

Yes, but be careful, flashing can be habit forming and RC's are a gateway drug. You'll be a crackflasher in no time.

On and it worked. I flashed rc2 over rc1 with no wipe and everything works fine.

Should we wipe to move from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You shouldn't need to wipe whenever you move minor versions, but it doesn't always work perfectly, and sometimes you end up needing to wipe anyway. Always nandroid, just in case something ends up going wrong on the new install.
I'm gonna be that guy though, can anyone give me a link to aaarghhh's kernel for our device for cm11? I've searched a bunch and just can't find it... I've found the flashable for other devices and other versions but not the atrix and not cm11. Thanks

I'm using the Validus13 custom 4.4.2 rom which is based on CM. In build 3.0, "arrrghhh kernel no longer included due to version incompatibilities". See the changelog here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564418
Not sure if it was removed only from the Validus13 ROM or other CM11-based roms too.

Use the one for the razr hd xt925. I cannot provide a link for it.
I've just installed arrrghhh's kernel on my phone, which is running the 12/25 nightly of CM11. So far, things seem pretty stable. I read about issues with the battery calibration on CM11, but according to arrrghhh, it seemed to be CM's fault. It looks like it's measuring the battery fine though, and I've overclocked to 1.8 GHz and lowered the minimum frequency to 96 MHz just fine
Here's the link to the thread on the Photon Q forum (it works on all devices running the Photon's SoC, including the Atrix HD): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31717152#post31717152
The link should send you to post #5, just click on the blue CM11 link to download.
This is awesome info. Thanks a bunch guys

So a strange issue... I installed the kernel. And all lag is officially gone. Its awesome. But, I've lost my battery stats? Literally all references to my battery percentage are gone? Weirdest thing I've encountered as of yet.

That was the issue that I read about on the thread...
I don't have this issue, but I installed this kernel on the 12/25 CM11 nightly. If you're running a rom that is CM based, it probably doesn't have the latest commits from the later CM11 nightlies fixing this issue. If you're not running a nightly/running an older nightly, try installing the latest one and see if that fixes your issue. If you're already on a new nightly though, I don't know what to say..
On the 12/17 nightly I'll give the latest a download and dirty flash it, along with reflashing arrrghhh to see if that fixes it. I'll report back with results for anyone else having the issue in the future. Thanks for the continued responses man. Very helpful.

I'm new to the whole kernel thing but I feel stupid for asking this.. My battery is doing what yours was. I have the 2-21-2014 kernel and I can't figure out how to fix my situation, it's quite annoying.. I would be very grateful for some help.. Thank you.

Hey guys I just flashed the latest Cyanogen Mod M6 test build this is after about a year of having a messed up Stock Kindle fire UI where the only thing that worked was the YouTube app which my daughter would watch from time to time. Well I decided to reroot and install teamwin recovery and Cyanogen Mod so my girl could use it as a tablet again, everything went fine and she is happy to have her tablet back but the YouTube app has since in the last three days started freezing when playing videos and the only way to fix it is to clear the cache and data in settings and reboot . Is this common ? Is anyone else having the issue?? Or is just this build???

I've heard of some saying this about M6. The newest nightly, which is newer than M6, is very smooth. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=tate&type=nightly give it a shot.

I have a Nook HD running CM 10.1 - 20130801 UNOFFICIAL -hummingbird ROM and [email protected] kernal. For the last month or so I have been getting random freezes and restarts. I keep downloading updates but they won't install.
Is it worth staying with this ROM or should I move to something else at this point? Is there one out there with Nightlies? I have attempted to go through the ROMs section but there are so many different ones there its very confusing.

I recommend going to CM10.1.3 stable. Start fresh with a new install by factory reseting.

Is there a particular way to factory reset? Or do I just go into the settings on the tablet and do it from there? I am familiar with phones but not with tablets of this nature.
Also, are there no Nightly ROMS for the HD?

Use CWM to factory reset. And there are nightlies, but they are CM11 and are bleeding edge. I thought you wanted stable.

Yes I do want stable. OK so the CM10.1.3 stable is the best option at this point. Right I will have to work on it here at work on Thursday as I don't have all my SD Cards here etc.

I have been running 10.1.3 stable since February. Yesterday my Nook HD started doing the exact same thing. It would freeze then restart. I couldn't even shut it down. It just restarted when I held down the power button.

Do you have Play Store set to automatically update your apps? If so, one of your apps may have updated and is causing that problem.

Yes I do. The Nook was in my car yesterday for a few hours in 100+ temps. I wonder if the heat could have damaged something.

I was having the same issue (freezing, shut downs and reboots) when I was using stable and snapshot builds so I did a full wipe and switched to CM11 nightlies and haven't had that issue since

By full wipe, do you mean data, cache and Dalvik? And you do this before installing the nightly and gapps?

A full wipe generally means a factory reset with CWM. That wipes /data, /cache, and dalvik. But it leaves intact your /sdcard that has your media files. And yes, that is usually done before rebooting from CWM either before or after flashing the nightly and gapps. But remember, if moving to CM11 and associated gapps you must use CWM v6045 or higher.

I think I have a hardware problem. Mine started freezing and rebooting on 10.1.3. I did a factory reset with CWM and installed 10.2.1. After less than a day, it started doing the same thing. If it's not hardware then I've got a very poorly behaving app but tracing that down would be difficult.

Why not;
-wipe/factory reset
-install the latest nightly (No Gapps)
-No extra apps just bare bones vanilla cm
-use it for a day browsing, checking out vids
-all goes well after one day start installing your apps one at a time
Narrow the issue down...I would figure if its having those issues even with a bare bones install then perhaps you do have a hardware issue but I doubt you do

That will have to be my next step. How do you keep Google from automatically reloading all your apps?

During the initial setup, after you've entered your gmail account info, there is an option for you to Restore from Google servers or something (can't remember the exact wording, sorry)? Uncheck the box and that should stop the auto download.
sometimes when I forget to untick that I immediately go into the play store and cancel all of the installs one by one manually and usually catch most of them

Dirty flashing isn't recommended because it can cause a fair few issues. So it's always better to clean flash.

I know for a fact that dirty flash of CM11 will work just fine - one exception is RC2, and RC2 Update 1, because these are ION builds. My guess is that it is possible, but you are on your own. What is stoping you from testing? Just do a backup from TWRP and flash the ROM and boot.img. You will get "Android is upgrading" and ROM will boot for sure. If my latest porting of old framebuffer to new ion graphics stack turns out sucessful, minimum brightness bug and blocked proximity sensor during call will be fixed also, so only the Viber problem will remain - this problem plagues a lot of CM11 builds for similar devices - Blade III, Huawei, Pico...
Soft reboot and Wifi tether are fixed because I ported the proper driver from 3.4 kernel in the meanwhile.

I do not know. I think that there will be no issues, can't guarantee that. If you make a backup of your current state, and fail to dirty flash, you can always return to that backup, dirty flash RC1 and it's boot.img. Upgrade to RC1 should be without issues, probably to RC2 U1 as well. But, I can't be sure.
