[Q] CM 10.1 question - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello,
I have the OG Motorola Razr (XT912). I have flashed CM builds before on my OG Droid but they have all been the final builds. With the nightly builds is there an updater built in? Or will I have to download and flash each nightly (and do I need to wipe cache/davlik/system/factory reset in safestrap for each nightly)?

i usually do them manually i dont think there is an updater built in unless im wrong

As far as I know, there is an updater built in. I flash all my nightlies manually, but there is an updater if you go into settings>about phone>CyanogenMod updates

[Request] Official CM9 and AOKP support.

I was wondering how to request the developers of Cyanogenmod and AOKP to make an official port of the RAZR XT910/912. I mean, we've got an unofficial port working already and MIUI is also making an official RAZR ROM, so how to get started with CM9 and AOKP. I know that the code freeze for CM9 has started already; but they have mentioned that they'll take new devices into considerations.
Not possible. we need a unlocked bootloader for a custom kernel, to have fully functional aosp

Not completely true. There are some rom based on cm9 and aokp that works on gb kernel and ics leak but they are cdma only (you need a gsm patch to make them work on the xt910)

Nightly Builds Cyanogenmod

I currently have the Stock software atm on my Galaxy S III. I was planning to get Cyanogenmod 10, but I see that it is nightly builds.
I was wondering how nightly builds work? Does that mean that everyday you have to update your phone? Also, doing so, will you have to wipe your phone with every build?
If I decide to wait for a stable Cyanogenmod 10 instead of using the nightly builds, and I use Cyanogenmod 9, then want to re-flash to Cyanogenmod 10 would I have to wipe? I know that I can use titanium backup to backup my apps, I am just curious.

CM10 is amazing and quite stable. You don't need to update everyday though if you do you don't need to wipe(though it's better if you wipe in some cases). Stable CM10 is going to take alot of time. CM9-->CM10 is better with wipe.
My advice to you just flash CM10 and update when you want to the latest nightly.

If I have one of the nightly builds already, all I would need to do is go into CWM Recovery and flash the new build. And it wouldn't erase anything on my phone, all it will do is update the software files of CyanogenMod 10. Is this correct?

Yes correct, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the update. You also don`t have to reinstall google apps every time you flash.
Would I just download the nightly build daily from the Cyanogenmod website? Or is there other places I can download it easier from?
Bookmark this : http://get.cm/?device=i9300
In fact, I believe you don't even have to wipe cache as it automatically wiped by the script when you flash CM10..
Here is the link mate http://get.cm/?device=i9300. If you have Rom Manager Premium the update will be downloaded automaticly.
Thanks guys ^ ^ Just what I needed. I'll try flashing the nightlies after I fix my CMW problem with extsdcard, which is at CWM Recovery ExtSDCard Problem if you can help.
Oh and I just realized from the links that you 2 have linked me to. I believe that I have a SGH-T999 since I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S III (USA) and on that link, it says i9300 which is the international one. Would it still works on a SGH-T999?
Edit: Nevermind, I think I found the T-Mobile US one. Samsung Galaxy S III (TMUS) - d2tmo. I got it from Cyanogenmod Devices Overview.

No it will not, go to the US T-Mobile forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1706, read this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756332 and do not flash anything from here.
Oh… I did not realized that I have been posted in the international forum. Thank you for your help/information though, it was useful nonetheless.

Hi mate, I had installed directly cm10 nightly builds on my galxy s3 international version and i found that there is a battery drainage in cm10 nightly build. usually my mobiles battery life is 15hours (3g on). but i found that in cm10 its only 8hours or even less. is there any solution for this? you are also facing the same issue?
i got CM10 on my GS2 and it works great.
I only wonder, if i use the cynogen updater to update the nightly. do i need to run every single update between my current version and the newest. or do i only need the latest?

How can I duplicate a nightly build? Is there a manifest included in the zip of the build that I can copy into my build tree somewhere? I ask because my local build after repo sync does NOT succeed, whereas it previously did work.

CyanogenMod 10.1 becomes Officially Nightly

Just sharing the information I saw today in Google+:
Motorola Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX (XT910) and Motorola Droid RAZR (XT912) are now officially supported by CyanogenMod Team.
As they said in this post, the developers who are porting this ROM to us joined the CM family.
You can see the Device page here:
CDMA
GSM
Hope we all could enjoy it's stable release soon!
wow I have been waiting for this, very awesome. I hope we can see stable builds soon :good::good::victory:

Per the web site: "This is for XT912 with stock ICS KERNEL ONLY!"
Awesome... hope they solve the bluetooth issue soon.
We'll likely see it stick to ICS Kernel only until a bit after the official Jelly Bean OTA, at which point you'll start to see dhacker and Hash switch things over permanently. I still can't believe that a new Motorola device is supported, much less one as locked down as Verizon has the CDMA version haha. Kudos to both dhacker and Hash for their hard work on all this.

Great news! I'm glad all their hard work has paid off
Running it now. Works fine although there's still no Bluetooth and no flash.

The bluetooth has been my biggest pet peeve with 10.1. I really wish I could use 10.1 daily but it doesn't make sense for me without bluetooth functioning correctly.

Running this with the 20th March nightly on SS3.11. Wondering if anyone has been successful getting it working under BMM or if anyone has even tried with CWM? Happy it works under SS but kind of perfer the way BMM opperates and would like to give it a go... any thoughts ??
Many thanks,
:fingers-crossed:

Well, I'm using it at the moment, so the current kexec official builds definitely work with BMM
JFYI, the kexec official builds also work after performing the OTA JB EU update. Just removed SS3.11 saved root with OTA Root Keeper, Flashed (held breath) booted all good.. renabled root, reinstalled SS.. booted into recovery, selected by CM10.1, wiped cache and dalvic (a few times each for good measure) rebooted and away she goes... now I've got 4.1.2 Stock and CM10.1 4.2.2 under SS. Happy Days!
working fine with bmm.there are some issues.but it is good enough for daily use.:good:

[Q] Will CM work with new partitions post HTC RUU 2013

You guys have any idea if CM will start making nightlies and roms in general for Jewel post RUU that HTC officially launched for Android 4.3 and Sense 5?
I am aware that using the RUU on the device will update radios, bootloader, etc and partitions. The existing CMs (I have tried nightlies) don't flash because of different partitions.
GoblinZ, here on XDA, uploads the nightlies for CM with the modified partitions and this leads me to my second question. Every time I flash one of his roms of CM (unofficial) does that mean if I want to update then I need to factory reset and install rom from recovery? I cannot use the CM updater in the settings menu because it is unofficial right?
Whoever can help, thanks very much! I am new but feel welcome!

Updater will not work because unofficial right. CM will probably not be doing official with new partitions.

That means that any time I want to update from your nightlies, I would have to factory reset and loose my phone data? Thanks

In order to go from that new format CM I built to an official cyanogenmod build on the old format, you would need an RUU to go back to the old format...this alone would require a clean flash (ie you would lose your data). I built this as a stop gap for people who would like to still use an updated CM on the new format.
