CM9 Official Nightly Discussion Thread

UPDATED: Official 20120707 has new Audio Libs, Adreno Drivers and new Wifi Drivers ATH6KL v4.4 added !

Objective: For those that Flash the official nightlies to post questions, concerns, updates and fixes. We are here for each other. We are community.

The Official Nightly is for those that want to be current with updates, in other words the BLOODY edge of the blade. This discussion forum is for the official nightlies that come out when CM releases them. They are not on a schedule nor are they released nightly. Check the below link for the most recent ROM.

There are a few that ask if the wipes can be done before the flash of the ROM and GAPPs and yes they can. I have experienced that the wipe works best after, but the wipes can be done before. It is up to the individual doing the flash. You can wipe as much as you like before or after the flash.

Do a Nandriod Backup with your recovery, such as CWM or TWRP.
1. Flash current nightly http://get.cm/?device=tenderloin
2. Flash current GApps http://goo-inside.me/gapps
3. Wipe cache and dalvik with your recovery.
4. Reboot and enjoy.

QUICK TROUBLE SHOOTING
> If you have problems with bootloops try wiping Dalvik and Cache once again. This works most of the time. If those wipes don't work try a factory wipe along with dalvik and cache, bewarned that a factory wipe will clear all of your app and user data, but this might be good if the data is causing the bootloops. It has been reported that factory wipes in some cases help a great deal. If you use TiBu, just remember, before restoring your data why you wiped it to begin with. If you restore you might be restoring the problem.
> If you have problems flashing, check the MD5 of the file to see if it matches the download link. The majority of the flash failures are caused by bad downloads.

> If you have WIFI issues click here to follow Nevertells FIX summary http://rootzwiki.com..._10#entry557589

> USB won't connect to PC: Settings/Storage/Menu (3 dots upper right)/USB computer connection/check Media Device (MTP). Then Settings/Developer options/Uncheck Andriod Debugging. Then you should be able to connect.

Please PM with suggestions.

Know issues:

Camera is broken

VPN is broken

For Gapps issues flash this https://www.box.com/...c28d6d80fb71bdb (Gapps Fixer) only if current Gapps are broken. Issue is unknown at this point.
*** NEW GApps Available gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip*** TRY THESE FIRST!
(Always try to flash current Gapps)
CM7 had this issue and it was caused by the incorrect date and time setting, check this first. The best case scenario would be to wipe cache, factory wipe and wipe dalvik then reflash rom and gapps, this should correct the problem, but if it doesn't try the Gapps Fixer.

Thanks and enjoy.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO JCSULLINS FOR ALL OF THE TENDERLOIN ATTENTION!

I would like to thank first and foremost the CyanogenMod team for making this possible. Without the hard work of Dalingrin and all of the devs that have put their talents into this ROM we wouldn't have ICS. Thank you.

I would also like to thank Eyeballer for his unofficial nightlys for keeping us on the BLOODY edge. Thank you.

I have read through the merges that you've presented (thank you for that), and I've been 'lightly' following the unofficial nightlies thread. I was wondering, for those of us running CM9, Alpha 2, what are the immediately noticable differences between the A2 and the latest nightlies, as of 3/31? (it's only been about a month)

I see:
1. Improved translations to non-English language elements. Specifically, Polish, Japanese, French, Korean, Croatian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish
2. Removal of Root access (while this is the most secure thing to do, I do wonder how it impacts how apps run)
3. Touchscreen stuff? What's so different about it?
4. Facebook Contact Sync - how is this different than what's in A2?
5. NTFS Read only support - where does it add this?
6. New boot animation
7. There are a couple of DSP fixes mentioned, does that mean audio clipping is a thing of the past on the TP?

How about camera? Any WiFi improvements?

Thanks for the info, and while I understand this thread is mostly for help in flashing the nightlies, given that it's a new thread, I thought it'd be a nice place to summarize the progress that's been made...

The recent Official nightly includes ICS 4.0.4, Google's newest release, which is much smoother and faster than ICS 4.0.3. CM still has not fixed the camera or microphone. They also include the new wifi drivers, which report to help, but wifi is an individual and I personally have not had any issues with wifi. The root access change is located in settings/developers option and you can set it as you wish. I have mine set fully rooted.

What I have noticed is that 20120329 nightly has increased responce and is a little more stable. Just keep in mind to always have a back up and we are on the bleeding edge of the ROM.

Excellent, succinct response, thank you.

I'll also add here the relevant element from the home page post: "there is a noticeable increase in smoothness from previous official builds and some users are reporting Antutu Benchmark improvements of up to 400 points without the need to install any of the driver add-ons - the Adreno 2XX drivers, for example - that had become commonly used to bolster device performance. These builds are being released still running the 2.6.35 kernel; CM Developer Dalingrin is working on getting the 3.0 kernel ready but there is no target release date at this time."

I'm almost ready to dive into nightlies, but I need to run some backups first.
BTW, I've really liked this community... I mostly lurk, but have been impressed with most peoples' attitudes and skillbase. Nice is good. :)

I've moved this topic to the official CyanogenMod Touchpad subforum. I'll be directing traffic to this thread from the official Alpha 2 thread for discussion of nightly builds.

This might be caused by a bad download. It is always good practice to ensure the checksums are the same, if not then the download is the cause. As for flashing nightlys on a clean install it would be the same as anyother flash. The nightly would be sufficient to put on the Tpad. Always do a nandriod back up just in case and always check the download.

installed latest nightly and gapps. Had the problem of play store not working also.

Tried gapps fixer mentioned a few posts back without success, however a second install of gapps via cwm, wiping cache and davlik again before reboot did the trick.

looking forward to using my first official nightly. Great work guys, thanks for all the great effort.

Hey guys.


I'm new to this community. I have experience Of Flashing Files on Android devices, I Currently Own TP running ICs 4.0.3 LCD Density 120 Alpha 2. ran with some Issue.

*Wi-Fi
*Web Browser Crashing.
*Power off ,Reboot Bottom Not synchronized.
*Camera, MIC not Working.
*E-MAIL SYNC .

Do Nightly Build Fix Those Issues ?

Reflashing gapps seems to work best.

I have been looking at the update script, which backs up gaaps and then reinstalls it when a nightly is flashed and it seems to be the same as other CM nightlys. I'll keep digging but from what I can tell it's the Play Store that's messing with things.

Either way, flashing gaaps again seems to fix it. Might be worth adding this to the op, as a known issue.

Thanks for starting this general discussion thread! One less thing for dalingrin to maintain, he might still start a development thread, but who knows. Either way thanks!

I have noticed in the general thread that people are starting to have issues with their gapps. From what I read it is more than just our device, it might be a googleserver issue. I'm on 20120317 and they work fine while others are having problems with them. Thank you and I will update the OP tonight.

Yup. My gapps is really unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, I've been cutoff from many of the market apps.
I tried using my VPN (shared via connectify from my desktop PC) to connect to different servers in the US and Hong Kong... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I think I need to grab apk files of all my favorite apps. This thing is driving me nuts.

Edit: A helpful alternative to Market (Play) would be the Amazon Appstore. Using your device go here: https://www.amazon.com/app-email

Try this link, it has worked for others. When I get home tonight I will do some research on the issue. If anyone else has some input please provide it.

This is a much better fix, I even notice that the USB joystick somewhat works now. Somewhat means that Buttons work but actual Joystick Up/Down/Left/Right do not work yet.

Also USB/BT Joystick program doesn't recognize it plugged in. I am sure it's because the joystick portion isn't working.

This is my first experience with nightlies, so I am also not sure how they work. But you can see they aren't released every day. Can I suggest it would be helpful if the thread title was always updated with the date of the latest nightly? If that's not proper rom protocol then nevermind.

Check Settings/Developer options/user interface/ then Window animation scale and Transition animation scale. If you click on these they will have an off button.

I flashed the nightly, the latest gapps and the apps fixer, then clear the cache and dalvik.

GApps still fail to work (play store exits). Accounts + Sync in settings doesn't list my google account, and there is no way to add it. Calender app appears to not be syncing.

Is there anything it's worth trying, or should I retry with the next nightly ?

Try clearing all data first before you flash. Report back if that helps. Thanks

I've noticed that I've been getting stuck on a lot of web pages in the stock browser, meaning if I try to use the browser back button or the system exit or whatever the button left arrow is called, it simply refreshes the page. I know there are some pages in desktop browsers that do this but for the stock browser on the TP it seems like it affects a lot of pages. Is this an ICS problem or something that could be remedied?

I was having the problem with calendar sync, too (although my Gmail was working just fine, and I was having no problems with Google Play).

Originally, I had installed Gapps 4.0.3 11.12.22.

So, I did a factory wipe, cleared the cache and Dalvik (just for good measure -- I'm guessing that it was overkill), and reflashed Gapps with 20120317.

Sure enough, after re-associating with my Google account, my events in all my calendars showed up!

Thanks for all the hard work, devs!
