CM10 Nightly 9/10 App Switcher inop. - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I went from the 9/8 build to the 9/10 build, and the Recent Apps hardware key does absolutely nothing, no matter what function i assign it in system settings (very annoying not having a Menu button!). Tried flashing multiple times, re-downloading multiple times, flash boot.img, fix permissions, wipe cache/dalvik, etc. Nothing fixes it. Flashed back to the 9/8 build and everything works like a charm. Anyone else having this issue?

Came here to investigate the same thing, except I went from 9/7 to 9/10, looks like we're having the same problem tho. Initially neither the app-switch button or long pressing home worked. Ran fix permissions from twrp and got the long press home working again. You think reverting to an earlier build would fix it?

Do a clean flash mine still works on 0910 nightly

As always......
If you dirty flash and have issues.... do a full wipe. Making bug reports on a dirty flash doesn't help anyone. If the problem persists after a clean wipe then I'd like to know about it

My apologies, i guess i just learned the hard way what the definitions of clean and dirty flashing are. Sorry to waste your time, and thank you for the learning experience! (And for not tearing me a new(b) one!!!)

This is still useful for others that have dirty flashed and will experience issues.
But now you know to do a clean wipe if you run into issues after dirty flashing :highfive:

Not a problem I actually dirty flashed up. Always do then if I have a issue. I clean install to make sure it's not my end. Usually fixes things.

Since these are nightlies you should do a clean install or factory reset after flashing

Alright, so I rebooted into TWRP 2.2.2.0 and did wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and wipe system, in that order. I then flashed from my SD card CM10 nightly 9/10 and gapps jb. Cleared cache/dalvik. Booted up, ran fix permissions. Still no luck; recent apps hard key still doesn't do anything (yes, I went in to system settings and set the key functions,) but it does vibrate when touched. Did I miss a step somewhere?

Idk basically what I've done. Mine all works. Flash the 0911 build in irc then
Sent from my Cm10 powered Evo Lte!!

I suppose you could try a wipe script as they are written to erase all possible data that could cause unintended side effects with a new flash

Had the same problem going from 9/8 to 9/10 but I just went into the settings and changed the hard key functions. Then everything was all goodie goodie again
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

Ok. Did a superwipe 3 times, clean install 9/10 build, changed system settings hard key function, still doesnt work. I'm downloading the 9/12 build so hopefully i get better results with that one.

Benefits of Excess Wiping

Just a quick comment, FWIW...
There was a time, when I was more of a noob than I am now, that I used to smirk at people who said they always wiped cache and data 2 or 3 times between loading different ROMs. I thought they were being a little anal - after all, a wipe's a wipe.
I've since learned differently. Recently I had a nasty FC problem that just wouldn't go away until I wiped data three times and then reflashed my ROM. Don't know why, but it works sometimes when nothing else will.
I thought it was anal too haha
I wipe 2 times before a flash.
Its weird how things work

Cvpcs wrote a great blog on wiping. I too have had nasty fc issues w/ our current recovery. You would think if it's not wiping correctly then 50 wipes would still produce the same bad wipe. I mean, the code doesn't change w/ each wipe we perform
Never had an issue with other recoveries on older phones. Properly written cwmr shouldn't need to wipe more than once b/c the code will only do what it's written to do. Improper coding leads to improper wiping. Just my $.02

Right, but if one wipe fails to wipe correctly do you suppose the second will clean up what it missed? I don't think code has become self aware of mistakes.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
All I know is I always wipe data 3 times andncache/dalvik twice each.
And have never had 99% of the.problems I see others having after flashes such as FCs and all...unless it was a known bug everyone was experience.

Here is more irritation : I ran 234update.zip from stock 233 recovery FOUR TIMES w/o leaving recovery. 1st: got a status (0) and stopped. 2nd correct status err and went faster. 3rd went fastest. 4th no more speedup.

Glad I'm not the only one laughing at this entire thread of puns of whiping, being anal about doing it over and over and wiping again!
You guys are right though, everytime a wipe is done, seems the later ones are much faster.
Apparently the more you wipe, the cleaner you get, it get's easier it is to wipe again.

Yeah, that was my point. It's definetly a progressive action. Very strange. I wudda thought like XOdus, that the code would do exactly the same thing each time.
The puns are fun.
They get faster b/c there's nothing else to wipe from the directory. My final post here.

Of course. But all punning aside, the point he was making is that they get progressively faster, indicating that not all is cleared with earlier wipes. There's no denying that multiple wipes can clear up sticky problems. Even if the reason is "bad code", that's still strange.

I only wipe once with our recovery and only once have I had an issue. I simply reflashed the ROM and it went away.
I bet he wiped the second time though. So he wiped twice

I hear ya. The blog article makes perfect sense. Hard to argue with the logic expressed there. And yet... experience tells me otherwise. As I said in the OP, I resenctly had a persistent FC problem with a system file - may have been ProgramMenuSystem.apk, can't remember for sure. Re-loaded my nandroid (that was fine before). While anyone would fully expect that to reslove the problem, the problem continued. Wiped again and re-flashed same version of my ROM. Problem still there. Wiped three times and re-flashed ROM again. Problem gone and never re-appeared.
I cannot explain why wiping data three times eliminated the problem that persisted even after wiping and re-flashing. Yet it did. Go figure.

yerp..seems that it'll happen everytime cache/dalvik is wiped. Since I'm assuming you're not new to this wiping process, you'll probly remember that boot always take a little longer after you wipe the dalvik..it's still the same, just now it provides a visual indication of its progress.
I like it since now you know your phone has actually booted as opposed to the OG Evo where you're left wondering whether it's stuck or not

Flashlight and Flash

Seems that recently the LEDs for the flash and what are also used for the flashlight are no longer operating on my husbands phone. I've tried wiping and reflashing JellyBlur v1.3 and trying various applications - but it seems that this doesn't help and that those LEDs just don't want to come on. Is there something that I can do to fix this or are they out for good?
I'm also running JellyBlur v1.3 on my phone and my flash/flashlight are working fine. While I'm waiting I'm going to try flashing another ROM to see if that solves the problem, but any tips or helpful posts are greatly appreciated. Thank You. :good:
Update It seems that switching ROMs didn't help it either. The flash still doesn't want to work nor does any flashlight application including stock. Not sure what happened, but hopefully someone can suggest a fix. (Could it be kernel or something similar related?)
- Tried reflashing JellyBlur v1.3 and Skyraider Zeus v1.3

Do you think flashing that might fix the flash issue? I've never encountered this problem before on our phones so it's new to me.
I would definitely make a backup of what you have now, do a good/clean wipe and install a nandroid backup from a different ROM in which the flash was working to see if the flash will work for you again.
If not, the flash may have just given up on you. =\
Note: Clear data 3x, cache once, and dalvik once. (I always recommend clearing data at least 3x because data doesn't always clear within the first or even second time around)

Good news. I was able to put ICS (Liquid Desensed36) and applied the new combo radio someone developed.
Using the Wi-Fi w/ root from play store using generic ics/jb (wlan0), channel 2, password protected, with router fix was able to fix his Wi-Fi tether.
Also the ICS Liquid Desenesed36 fixed his Flash and flashlight! (Don't know how; I don't question it) :good::good::good::good::good:

[Q] problems booting to twisted's CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS

good day all,
i'm trying to flash to this rom, i've tried both clockworkmod recovery and 4ext. the rom flashes, reboots and stays at the cool blue "Startingi ICS" for 10's of minutes, resulting in a pulled battery/recovery/restore to backup.
i'm a complete n00b at this, so its likely i'm making mistakes but cannot figure out the path forward. i've not tried any other roms yet, may have a look at nusense and see it if boots.
any help appreciated.

You have to wipe between flashes most of the time. There some times were wiping only caches will work but it really is better to just wipe everything and eliminate any issues that could come from not wiping everything.

I have wiped & wiped and also tried 3 different releases of this rom but I always get caught in the bootloop. I know that some folks are having the same issue but I was hoping that my TB wouldn't be one of them.
My first foray into this ROM is 12/6 build and I haven't seen a reason to try a newer build. Works pretty good, very few complaints.

Sms "sending" bug

I am rooted and all the stuff that comes with that but I wiped all contents of system data cache dalvik and flashed just cm11 and no matter what I do, my sms fails to send until I toggle my radio or reboot. I even wiped. I didn't even flash a kernel. I tryed to look for the thread to see what I missed but I couldnt find the thread. I have been superusering since the ally but I haven't in a little while. It's weird cause it has no problems on the source based roms like Venom.

The kit kat roms are ported. There are several issues with them that cannot be "fixed" until the source code is released.. Viper 2.52 is an excellent rom that has no bugs to speak of.
Agreed...
Apparently Verizon changed some SMSC numbers to screw with rooted people. I guess we will have to wait for the updates to resolve this.
