[Q] About Defy+ & CM11 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using Quarx's CyanogenMod 11.0 (KitKat 4.4.2) since its January 20 release. However, my phone starting to become slow with the time (nothing related to the build but the extensive device use & data exchanging). Today i decided to upgrade to most recent build (NIGHTLY 23/03). Of course i wiped everything before. I installed the build directly from TWRP with no big problems, however, i disliked this "new"? recovery interface (this one that shows two options (RECOVERY) and (ANDROID) and this "Press search to load the system" thing. I Would like to disable it and return to the old M logo, where i had the blue led to warn me about the recovery thing. Is this possible? I mean, take this thing out?
Now the most important. As i said, i've been on the development thread since the beginning, but i didn't found any working answer to my situation. After trying both GAPPS 4.4.2, i see a black screen on first boot with the Standard GAPPS and only a "Choose your laguage" with Minimal, after chosen i get a "Launcher stopped working".I cant add the google account without the GAPPS, as some peoples suggested to another on that topic. I remember that i read something related to install the previous working build (20/01) and then upgrade to the newer, after setting the account on the older build. But theres no january 20 on quarxs ftp, what now? HELP PLS

System + data + cache wipe, use core gapps 2-26. If you encounter issues, then again install rom after full wipe, but don't install gapps immediately. Reboot, and delete unwanted system apps to free up space, and then flash gapps and wipe cache
No easy way to backport safestrap (replacement for boot menu)

[Q] Help with CarbonRom/TWRP/RazrM?

Question:will someone help me?
I will begin by saying that I have no idea where the problem exists for my individual situation, and it would be great if I could get some help.
Background:
I used to run Dead Rage 1.2.
Now I have been back and fourth between Skrilax nightlies and Bytecode's cm10.1 with little to no hiccups.
Over time I began to notice a little lag(notification drawer, swiftkey, and basic ui elements).
Problem description:
Then I decided to try some other roms to fix my issues.
When I flash Carbon rom:
- It has no lock screen by default (and I have not been able to fix this in lockscreen settings)
- The home button does not work (neither in pie controls)
- the quick settings panel button in the notification drawer does not open the quick settings( nor can I access the quick settings any other way)
- the home screen apps are strangely and slightly above the software buttons
I saw someone with similar problems in the posts of carbon but it was resolved by a single reflash.
I also tried a relatively new rom called Revolt on droidrzr:
- I experienced similar issues with the home button
- I did not delve into the issues more because the issues were similar to carbon
Explained, further:
As explained above I have flashed without issue before.
I am under the impression that the way to flash is:
1. mount system
2. wipe system
3. repeat
4. reboot recovery
5. mount system
6. flash
I have tried every variation on this set of rules I think is possible for carbon. I initially had TWRP 2.3. I have flashed without rebooting recovery, without mounting system, with a factory reset on the previous rom, wiping cache and delvik as well. If I don't wipe the system I get weird crashes and the home button still doesn't work but it fixes other things like quick settings. Sometimes when I would wipe system, and not do a factory reset, and flash carbon all my apps from the Bytecode build persisted. This made me think it was a recovery problem.
Then I flashed TWRP 2.5. I have similarly tried everything with TWRP 2.5 and get the same results. I have tried 6/21, 6/23, 7/2, 7/4 carbon on both recoveries.
I have a backup of bytecode cm10.1 and I am running that currently.
If some one would help me troubleshoot or fix my problem, I would love to get carbon. And I would be very much appreciative.
If I am in the wrong place please point me.
I did not post in the carbon topic because I do not have more than 10 posts.
I know that people are not paid to help me so I respect when they do.
Also if you need screenshots, I can reflash carbon and take some shots too.

LG G2 D02 CM 13 Problems

My boss rooted his LG G2-D02 and installing CM 12.1 in the process. Now, after knowing that CM 13 was already released, he downloaded a copy of it and immediately flashed it onto his phone. He got a problem with Gapps and DL-ed a problematic version which caused the notification,"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped" to pop up repeatedly. We had tried following a few advices from this website but to no avail.
1.) We already tried using Force Stop and Disable under Apps->(Show system apps)->Setup Wizard (CM). I had also tried giving it app permissions, but all app permissions were already available.
2.) The only option is to flash CM 12.1 back again but it can't be done. My boss set the default recovery app to Cyanogenmod's own recovery program, which had limited functions, so I can't
also use TWRP ATM.
3.) My boss also tried something on ADB but to no avail
4.) Factory reset didn't also solve the problems.
I'm almost running out of solutions... Perhaps, I can use a helping hand from brighter minds in this community.
TIA
I'm using cloudyg2 v3.3 because cm13 has got a lot of bug for example
-I can't proceeded to music
-systtem has stopped once a hour
-I can't close touching vibration
I can't remember now but cm13 has got really much bug (yeah my english is very bad,I know this)
Now system is stable and battery is very very good but still İ can't scretch to music

Refresher on world of custom ROM's

Hi all
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F, which when I got it 18 months ago was very eager to get involved in rooting and getting a custom ROM on it.
Fast forward to present day and the novelty has worn off, I haven't kept up to date with anything, and I am probably very out of date.
As such I would like to either update to the latest ROM or just flash the latest stock - I am not sure I really use much nowadays that even requires anything other than stock (used to play a lot with Tasker, sysadmin apps)
What has prompted this is of late my phone has been very laggy, crashing, sys apps hanging, etc. I also dropped my phone ages ago and occasionally the screen stops working (although still responsive) and I have to take the battery out to get it back (sometimes it reboots to a full screen of coloured static, and I have to repeat this several times). Now I know this seems like a hardware issue but at times the phone will not have been touched or moved and it'll do this, which makes me hope that maybe updating it will help.
I have a paid version of Omega Files Pro but apparently there has been no update for a very long time.
Hopefully you guys can help me get back up to date and on a level
Android Version: 5.0
Baseband version: G900FXXU1ANCE
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-Omega-1.0
Build Number: Omega V17 - XXU1POCF
I have PhilZ Recovery iirc.
Thanks in advance, if you need anymore info please say.
Install the rom from alxndr thread. Its a stock rom slightly optimized. It is the best for stability, performance and battery. There is only great reviews about it, it has a great community, and he updates it very frequently.
He has roms for either android 5 or android 6, which could can find in the second post of the thread.
If you choose to install android 6, you will have to update the bootloader and modem. They, as well as instructions, can be found in his thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
To correct the issues, you will probably need to perform a full factory reset before installing the rom. Before anything, I recommend you to do a full rom backup (using your recovery). That way, if you forgot to backup something (like your taskers profiles), you can always go back.
Before doing the factory reset, you should backup your SMS, calls and apps. The easiest way to do it is by using the integrated backup tools in your S5 options : in the backup&restore sections, you will find a Samsung section that can backup messages and phone calls. There will also be a Google section where you can choose to backup your apps. If everything is set up correctly, once you will boot the new rom, you will be asked sequentially if you want to restore the samsung (Messges, call logs) and google (apps) data.
Thank you I'll have a read.

New User - CyanogenMod Questions

Hello,
I received my Nexus 6P yesterday and got my SIM card activated without any issues at Verizon. I immediately took it home, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then flashed CyanogenMod's latest nightly. After booting in, wireless networks weren't detected, and I only had 3G (no 4G LTE as I should). I restored my backup of the stock ROM that I made in TWRP and it hung at the Google logo. I'm not sure why. I then flashed all the latest factory restore images (MTC19X) to get it working again and determined that the issues I had in CyanogenMod might have happened due to the vendor.img I had on my phone at the time not being compatible with that build of CM13.
My questions are:
1) What are the known issues that would likely occur due to vendor.img being a different version than what CM13 was based on? The concept of vendor.img is new to me. I haven't had this, as far as I know, on any of my other phones (granted I'm coming from a locked Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had for almost 2 years)
2) How can you easily tell which vendor.img CM was based on so you know which one to flash?
3) Is there anything else I should be made aware of before attempting to flash CM13 again?
4) While using CM13, do most people recommend a custom kernel? If so, which one and how stable is it? What are the benefits of switching from the stock kernel, and how simple is it to go back if there's a problem?
Thanks!!
dude...I just got the N6P and ran CM13 within hours. This is what I did...
unlocked the bootloader
downloaded the lastest (MTC19X) image off of https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and unpacked it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
ran the flash-all.bat
fastbooted TWRP
installed CM13. (didn't wipe internal storage)
installed arm64 open Gapps pico
BAM!!!
right now running stock kernel. it's cool. I'm PrivacyGuard-ing the hell out of all my apps (turned off START AT BOOT and KEEP AWAKE for almost every downloaded app), though, so battery is OK
also using Kernel Adiutor but underclocking values for the CPUs doesn't seem to stick
So it likely worked for you since you had flashed the newest vendor.img first. Apparently there are compatibility issues with certain features that cause them not to work (such as WiFi) if you're using an older one.

1) Depends on ROM /VENDOR, sometimes nothings happens then an error message, sometimes things doesnt work
2) Just download fresh the latest snapshot, release or nightly (they are much more stable then for a few years!) and vendor image (use these ones which are recommended!)
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_angler (there is a link for the vendor)
3) If you stay close on the tutorials, i dont know what should happen (flashing a rom is normally not critical, installing a recovery can be!)
4) Custom kernels can be great, but its not a must-have. Which kernel you should use depends on your wishes: better battery, more power etc.
Hope i could have help you a little bit!

Very much so. I appreciate it!
Has anyone encountered the constant popup of the Select Sim Card message? I'm using project fi and I am still unable to find a solution to this issue.

@Hnk1 for making me aware that the builds had started
Don't expect support from anyone in this thread. Help might come but it's likely that if you're experiencing a problem that @invisiblek is already aware of it, or it's a CyanogenMod issue that all ROMs will have. In the meantime, please feel free to communicate with other CM13 for VK810 users here to confirm/deny the existence of any issues you might have, or discuss any workarounds when possible.
Please mention what build date of CM13 you're on when you're discussing issues.
Installation Notes:
It's smooth as butter.
Flashing this definitely doesn't work with a newer bootloader. I recommend flashing this from TWRP v2.8.7.0 after a fresh flash of the 11A KDZ and downgrading the bootloader in order to install the initial Loki'd version of TWRP v2.7.0.1 and then upgrading to 2.8.7.0, or if necessary, first the 22B TOT and then the 11A KDZ after. All necessary instructions are in my [VK810.4G] [altev] most reliable way to root and install a custom recovery thread. I actually manually downgraded the aboot (bootloader) even though I was on 11A and my instructions at that link specify that downgrading the bootloader further wasn't necessary, so I haven't tested straight from 11A's bootloader.
When I had tried @invisiblek's TWRP v3.0 July 19, 2016 build for the VK810 (the current build that's available), it accessed internal storage just fine - my MicroSD card is formatted ExFAT so that might be the trouble - I haven't tested USB OTG on this build, nor backing up or restoring. This build of TWRP flashed the ROM okay, and looked like it flashed OpenGApps Pico okay, but no matter how many times I tried or even trying to flash OpenGApps Nano, when the ROM was booted the Play Store still wasn't there. Reverted to a known good version of 2.8.7.0, wiped all and fresh flashed ROM and OpenGApps Pico and all's good so far.
I use Slim Zero GApps for Marshmallow (6.x) with this, available at [GAPPS][6.0/5.1/5.0][arm/arm64] Official Slim GApps. @invisiblek uses Open GApps (Pico Package). This tablet uses an ARM processor and CM13 is Android 6.0x.
OTA's work and point to @invisiblek 's newer builds when they're available. If you take OTAs and you had system Xposed installed, you'll have to flash Xposed again.
[*]Root can be enabled without SuperSU by first enabling the "Developer options' in Settings. Do so by going to Settings / About tablet / scroll down and touch "Build number" about 10 times in a row, then you can see "Developer options" in the main Settings menu immediately before the About menu. At the bottom of the first screen of the "Developer options", under "Root access", enable either "Apps only" or "Apps and ADB", for most users' purpose. I believe "Android debugging" (two options down further from the "Root access" in "Developer options") was already enabled.
System Xposed build 86 (sdk23) for Arm processor, and Greenify including the latter's Xposed module appears to work okay. Trying G3TweaksBox (made for stock but might still provide some functionality under CyanogenMod) rotation tweaks doesn't appear to help the rotation issue I'm having. G3TweaksBox's Sound options like "Link Ringtone and Notifications volume", "Force media volume control" and "Auto expand volume panel" all appear to work. Other modules I've tested: Amplify, Battery Home Icon (% text at least for 100% is offset), DirectAPKInstall Module doesn't work (I think it didn't work on stock on this device, it works fine on my VS985 G3), Flat Style Bar Indicators, Marshmallow SD fix, Play Store Changelog, installed but haven't tested YouTube AdAway and YouTube Background Playback. I had attempted Systemless Xposed and it wouldn't flash from TWRP, but it's supposed to specifically require SuperSU v2.76, so I didn't necessarily expect it to work with CM's built-in root. Haven't tried SuperSU yet, but if you do, disable CM's built-in root first.
Do not ask about when anything will be fixed, nor requests for features/new builds etc, or when CM14 (Nougat) or CM26 (Zagnut) will be released.
What's broke (at least on cm-13.0-20160716-UNOFFICIAL-vk810.zip):
Camera
Brightness adjustment (I recommend Lux Auto Brightness or Lux lite by Vito Cassisi and it can be chosen to integrate with CF.Lumen by @Chainfire)
Occasional black screen when you try to wake up the tablet. It's necessary to hold the power button in for 10 seconds or so to force turn it on, then either continue to hold the power button or let go and press again to turn boot the tablet back up. @invisiblek hasn't had this issue on his own VK810 in a while so I need to provide some further testing and reporting once I experience the issue again. I haven't yet tried the GApps that @invisiblek uses just to rule that out although I doubt if that'll make a difference.
Rotation might not work - I haven't tested on the fully "stock" ROM and have a bunch of apps/tweaks installed now so will have to double-check on a fresh flash later. The best app workaround I've found is Rotation Control. This enables you to manually control rotation via icons in the pull down notifications. There's other apps to do the same thing but one of the other highly rated ones didn't work for Reverse Portrait, and the other one didn't have Reverse Portrait at all. At this time I have no idea if the tweaks I made in G3TweaksBox might've improved the "Rotation Control" app's behavior, or if any other settings I have going on might've one of the other apps I tested.

Keep in mind these screenshots are after my tweak apps:
Using Style part of Dark F Material theme:
My process of elimination steps trying to diagnose why I always get 1) sudden black screen and also 2) sudden soft reboots (starts immediately with CM boot animation) and 3) UI restarts.
8/2/2016 morning: wiped Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data flashed the 8/1 build and OpenGApps Pico 8/1 or 8/2 from TWRP v3.0 M5 July 19 build, then booted the ROM and noticed GApps hadn't installed even though it looked like it went through the motions. Repeated attempts to flash GApps both Pico and Bank from TWRP v3.0 had same results. Flashed TWRP v2.8.7.0 by Brian someone and flashed GApps and they installed fine.
Set my Google account up, changed a bunch of settings and I think I enabled CM's root, installed some stuff, was satisfied and then by mid-afternoon I opened my case and found it had black screened.
8/2/2016 evening: Put his TWRP v3.0 July 19 build back on, wiped Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data, flashed the 8/1 build (but not OpenGApps), then wiped internal storage, turned the tablet off, ejected my MicroSD card which is formatted ExFAT, and booted the ROM. I turned WiFi and Mobile Data off but otherwise didn't touch it at all.
8/3/2016 late morning, tablet still hasn't had issue so I put it in Airplane Mode, one of the things I almost have it set to when I'm not using Mobile Data.
8/4/2016 late morning, still no trouble. Connected to unsecured work WiFi, downloaded latest OpenGApps pico and latest stable SuperSU.zip v2.76. Rebooted to TWRP v3.0 M5, flashed SuperSU.zip and the log looked perfect but apparently the ROM won't boot. This TWRP 3.0 M5 build won't read my USB-OTG or a 16 GB FAT32 MicroSD card I put in. Using USB, the PC does access internal storage through MTP in TWRP v3.0 M5, so putting a copy of CM13 on internal storage to flash. Dirty flashed CM13 8/01 build and it's booting okay.
Enabled Developer options and CM's built in root for Apps only. Tomorrow I'll install @Chainfire 's FlashFire and try to use it to flash OpenGApps since when I used TWRP v3.0 M5 to flash OpenGApps, once booted to Android GApps weren't there and I'm trying to avoid going back to TWRP v2.8.7.0 for now.
[*]8/4/2016 mid-afternoon. Interesting but not conclusive observation. My last action late this morning was to enable CM's built in root for Apps only, and just now (four hours later?) I opened my case and found the tablet was having the black screen issue (requiring a power button long press to force off and turn back on). I just re-disabled CM's built-in root, I'm rebooting the tablet again after having changed that setting, and we'll see if it black screens again anytime by tomorrow. If not, I may enable root again and see if it black screen relatively quickly.
One more.
Updated OP with accurate information about @invisiblek 's latest build of TWRP v3.0 for the VK810 as of July 19th, 2016. Summary: seems to work, just possibly not with ExFAT for my MicroSD card, or not with a 128 GB card.
Edited update: This build of TWRP flashed the ROM okay, and looked like it flashed OpenGApps Pico okay, but no matter how many times I tried or even trying to flash OpenGApps Nano, when the ROM was booted the Play Store still wasn't there. Reverted to a known good version of 2.8.7.0, wiped all and fresh flashed ROM and OpenGApps Pico and all's good so far.
Ugh...still got a black screen. I'll try without installing any apps or having or root enabled.
Delete.
I am gonna try this weeked. Any idea which build is the most stable?

I think all the most recent builds are the same - he hasn't made any new commits to GitHub at least not as of yesterday. He tried getting the camera working, but it still doesn't for me, it FCs.
That said, be very careful and slow in setting it up and installing. I don't know why I always have trouble with CM builds on this tablet (sudden black screen requiring a long power button press to force off and back on, sometimes just suddenly it soft reboots - starts immediately with the CM boot logo, not a full reboot). I used the latest build and OpenGApps this time, I had a reasonably full gambit of my apps installed and set up, CM's built-in root enabled in Developer options, but I didn't have Xposed installed this last time and it still went black screen later yesterday.
So I went into full-process-of-elimination mode. I had all the files I needed on internal storage, but also on the MicroSD card, I installed his TWRP v3.0 M5 for the VK810, wiped all again including internal storage this time, and only flashed the ROM. Then I shut down the tablet from TWRP's reboot menu, ejected my MicroSD card which is formatted ExFAT and his TWRP doesn't like anyway, although it's always worked fine itself in both CM and in the stock ROM, and I've left it like that since last evening and it hasn't black screened.
Next I'll probably flash OpenGApps and then leave it sit for a day to see if it does anything. Oh yeah, when i tried flashing OpenGApps from his TWRP I don't think it worked right so I might have to either downgrade to someone else's TWRP v2.8.7.0 or try FlashFire to flash GApps.
I'll continue like this in patient stages so that I can notice when it starts black screening again. I haven't touched any settings in Android yet, not even enabled the built in root. I might flash SuperSU from TWRP instead this time though, once I get around to it.
Good luck! Let us know how it works for you!
Updated the third post with my process of elimination steps and progress. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67819877&postcount=3
Interesting but not conclusive observation - I'll add to the third post. My last action late this morning was to enable CM's built in root for Apps only, and just now (four hours later?) I opened my case and found the tablet was having the black screen issue (requiring a power button long press to force off and turn back on). I just re-disabled CM's built-in root, I'm rebooting the tablet again after having changed that setting, and we'll see if it black screens again anytime by tomorrow. If not, I may enable root again and see if it black screen relatively quickly.
So the CM (CyanogenMod) 13 is the same as Android 6.0 Marshmallow?
EDIT:
I just flashed the CM13 Unofficial zip for VK810 in TWRP v2.8.7.0 and my tablet is now stuck in bootloop. It shows the Android for a minute then goes to blank screen.

Updated OP with accurate information about @invisiblek 's latest build of TWRP v3.0 for the VK810 as of July 19th, 2016. Summary: seems to work, just possibly not with ExFAT for my MicroSD card, or not with a 128 GB card.
Edited update: This build of TWRP flashed the ROM okay, and looked like it flashed OpenGApps Pico okay, but no matter how many times I tried or even trying to flash OpenGApps Nano, when the ROM was booted the Play Store still wasn't there. Reverted to a known good version of 2.8.7.0, wiped all and fresh flashed ROM and OpenGApps Pico and all's good so far.
Ugh...still got a black screen. I'll try without installing any apps or having or root enabled.

I got a black screen after I flashed this http://www.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-13.0/vk810/. Is there another solution for this?

Yep.
Doubtfull, another user reported the same problem (in a different thread, unfortunately). You had wiped Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data, right?

Whenever I wipe the data/cache from TWRP, it wipes the OS because it says afterwards there is no OS installed.
If I follow these instructions, do they also take me to Android 6.0 Marshmallow? http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...t-install-t3283027/post64577888#post64577888

I don't know what's going wrong for you. Wiping Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data never wipes the OS on any device for me. You have to wipe those things before booting a new ROM, especially when going from stock LG ROMs to CyanogenMod/non-stock ROMs, or the ROM won't boot or work right.

No. This is the only Android 6.0 I've noticed for the VK810. My thread you referenced deals with stock LG ROMs, and there is no stock Marshmallow for the VK810, only Lollipop 5.0.2 which runs laggy, and is why I'm running 24A KitKat instead.

This goes to show how different devices act differently. My tab was real laggy on kitkat, but on lollipop it's been pretty smooth. I'm counting on you for some marshmallow action! lol

Absolutely! (different people's devices acting different with the same model). Of course, I've hardly been using my tablet at all and only have a couple dozen maximum apps installed, and I have severely debloated the stock stuff. Who knows. Make sure and gives thanks to @invisiblek, he's the one developing CM13 for the VK810 - I just created the thread. Since it's not mine is why I created it in the General section and since it's just a pretty much an announcement thread.

I wiped the Cache, Dalvik, and Data and flashed the CM13 Unofficial ROM. It takes me all the way to Starting Preparation/Optimization Completed and reboots and gives me a dark screen and doesn't get past the blue android and gets stuck in boot loop. I am thinking of just upgrading to Lollipop. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...10-4g-official-lollipop-5-0-2-35a08-t3113607

One or two other users had problems with the latest builds too. I had problems with builds from a couple of weeks back, as you can read in this thread, but not that problem. That's part of the trouble with CM, it takes a long time (and effort of the person doing the compiler, or others who submit commits to the device-specific source code) to iron out bugs. People have other troubles with CM13 on the LG G3, too.
I liked stock debloated Lollipop but it would just get so slow for me eventually - I used it for a year or so. I hope it works better for you.

Is there any other way to get past this when flashing CM13? Sorry, I probably asked this before but I really want to be able to use this on my (VK810) device.

I've told you everything I know about it. I wish it worked better too, but I'm not in control of it, @invisiblek is most likely busy with lots of other things. The only other solution is for you to learn how to compile, debug and fix source code. I've never done any of those things.
