[Q] CM11 Nightly to CM11 M# - AT&T LG Optimus G

I currently have CM11-20140310-NIGHTLY-e970 and am quite happy with it. Per CM the next CM11 M# will be M5 which should be available around 4/9/2014, (27 days). Can I safely update from the 0310 Nightly to CM11 M5 with a "dirty" update similar to how I've done nightly updates?

Although I don't recommend dirty flashes, it really won't hurt bumping from 1 version of the same rom to the updated version... So yeah you can dirty flash, but why not BU everything with TiBu. If you have the pro version, you can create an update.zip of all apps+data, flash in recovery to avoid that annoying 1 app at a time installation process. You can also BU call logs, mms/sms, browser pages, vice versa...

Only time dirty flash g isn't safe is when your jumping from say, mokee to slim, vice versa

Thank you jx. I suspected it might be ok. The post M4 update discussion at CM made it known that going from M# to M#+ is ok just as going from NIGHTLY 1 to NIGHTLY2 is ok. Implicit in the comments was the idea that one could go from NIGHTLY to M# so long as at least 8 days had passed between the NIGHTLY issue and M#. In other words the M# is very similar to a NIGHTLY except it is older by about 8 days so allowing that much time to pass would guarantee an upgrade instead of a downgrade.
I will research the TB option.

How'd it work for you ? Are you good to go ?

Sorry if I gave the impression I was doing this imediately. I will be doing the change when CM11-M5 is made available, which I expect will be around 4/9/2014. I think there should be a reasonable time between changing from a CM11-NIGHTLY to a CM11-M# to insure it is an upgrade and not a downgrade which I believe can cause havoc on the LGOG.
I will update this post when I transition.
I should add I will stay with the 3/10/2014 NIGHTLY until I change to the M5 snapshot.

Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention...why m5 ? M4s out btw...I was using m3 for a while..kind of like the clean look w/o all the extras I'll never use...I'm currently on carbon ROM...

If anyone is thinking of installing V4A on stock LG Android P769 it doesn't work

*UPDATE!* I found that using the V4A Tool apk fixed the effects! It was in Chinese, so I just selected an option. I didn't need to run that on my N7 but I guess I had to on my P769BK!
I don't recall that being mentioned in the install instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Please Disregard*
This audio mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 for Android does not work on the P769BK. I'm saving ya'll the trouble in going through the mess I have already been through.
I spent the last 2 hours on trying to make it function, safe mode, compatible mode, you name it, it has been done.
So if you are on LG/T-Mobile stock 4.1.2 for the P769BK and rooted, don't bother. It doesn't work.

It would be extra nice if you make a mini step by step guide to show how you made V4A work on you L9 . I followed the user guide and I only managed to make it work with Apollo Music player but it sort of prevents any other app from accessing the sound server even the system sounds and the ring tones; all become muted except for Apollo with V4A.

So have you downloaded the latest version and checked? I think not.
I tried with the newest version (which is a apk now), and it didn't work. I didn't hear any difference in quality.
The old version that was a recovery flashable zip worked. I wish I didn't delete that zip now.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who finds this is not working. I wish that senior member would have checked his attitude at the door and seen that its not working. Hopefully we will get a response from somone who can actually help us instead of insulting members.

No man, the version im running is the latest apk/play edition, the 4.3 apk and everything works im not being like that for no reason.
If he can't get it working he shouldn't announce things like that to the other folks who haven't tried and were curious, also the ones who don't even read threads.
And for the record you don't need to flash anything for viper4android, it does it all without recovery, idk why you installed that version kuma
and for OP, there's a reason i've been on xda for a while, if you can't take the harsh advice, grow a pair

I agree that the OP should have not jumped the gun and stated what he said. However, you could have spoke your mind and then helped. (In my opinion)
I was trying to point out that the previous version was a lot simpler. Anyways my bad.

When installing drivers you must select A9 Cortex with NEON. You then reboot.
If you want it to work with PowerAMP you must disable direct volume control and enable MusicFX.
Hopefully that somehow helped.

Known issues:
- Reboot once after first boot for sound
- Low speaker volume

Great looking ROM. Good to see some new things here.
Did you merge in changes yourself to get Active Display working? I've got a couple of ports cooking and I just haven't had the time to port Active Display and Touchless Control yet. If you've already figured out these details, I'd love to pick your brain on it and save myself some work.

[Q] Custom ROM bug reports

How do I report a bug for CM Nightly ROMs?
report it
find the developer in charge of your rom and tell him or go to the fourm under android development and comment it and boom you told him.
I have no reply option in any threads in the development section. Obviously I do here. Any ideas?

You have to post 10 times or more in the general areas of the forum before you can post in the development side.

BTW, I'm using the latest nightly. Deleted my slot 1, created a 2 GB app partition, flashed the 16 and then the 18 nightly. Had a few bumps but after several reboots is seems solid now.
Might be a battery hog but that will take awhile to determine.

Not many problems. I did have an issue where I would get an occasional signal loss that would not come back without a reboot. I was able to fix it though. Go to Safestrap boot menu. Go to Advanced. Then do "Fix Permissions". It seems to have fixed this problem. So far, it is a very solid and smooth ROM.

[Q] What are the current known issues with CM11?

Hey guys..
I'm still on 4.1.2 (by @newtoroot) because I'm an overseas GSM user and all of those new verizon roms (such as Nu and such) aren't so good for me..
I was thinking about switching between sense (although I love it) to CM.. I could tell that CM10.2 is pretty solid, by if I'm bothering and going to update - might as well update to the latest..
So why shouldn't I upgrade to CM11 (KK)? Are the current bugs/knows issues disruptive of normal function?
Cheers..
None that I know of. It was released as stable

Answers like this kill me. I haven't run it so I don't know the answer but I do know that what is acceptable to some isn't acceptable to others.
How about specifics:
How is the volume on ringtones?
Are their any delays with camera flash when taking a photo?
How is the sound quality on phonecalls?
Does WiFi consistently stay connected or does it feel as though it's not connected even though the phone says it is?
I ask these specifically because these are issues that have caused me to go back to sense from CM in the past.
Sorry if this post sounds accusatory or hostile. That is not my intention.

Don't use ringtones, vibrate only. Seriously, I don't need audio notifications when the thing vibrates loud enough to wake me.
No issues that I've found with the camera or flash, the HDR functionality is pretty amazing.
No issues with wifi, other than it tries to hang on too long some times.
Haven't had an issues with phone calls, although I don't make them very often.
LTE has been solid as well no throughput issues. It generally reports low signal strength, but that's because it's telling the truth.
Any other specifics you'd like?

I just wifi tether but it's still an issue with the rom.
couple of game issues?
I normally don't chime in, but this may be the place for me to get some help. So, let me start off that I'm S-off, latest RUU, latest radio. Ok, now that's out of the way.:good: I can run Sense ROM's with no issues, but when I flash a non-Sense ROM (or variant like ProBam most recently, but also CM11, CyanFox, etc.) everything works flawlessly - except Word with Friends and Whats the Phrase. If I'm on 3G or WiFi there seems to be no problems at all, but if I try to play on 4G the games lose their mind. Meaning - my move says submitting forever and I don't receive other players moves and at times each game will toast a message that it needs a network. I know, I know, it's trivial and I could just switch to 3G or WiFi (where available) and play, but I'd just like to know if anyone else has this experience? If so, is there a way to "fix" these games?
I've been to Google and back but can't find a solution.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.....

If you don't mind a somewhat dated ROM, Succulent's CM10.0 dated 12/31/12 is the most reliable http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/.
If you decide to try it, make sure that you flash the Gapps version corresponding to CM10.0 (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).
Just remember, the Google Now launcher still doesn't like the nook tablet and can cause a variety of issues. I just had it Bork my NT when it updated last night (even though I use nova launcher set as my home). I've sense entirely removed Google Now from the device and it seems to be running better than before.

i've had that rom reboot randomly for me several times before. cm11 doesn't do that.
I have loaded up cm11 bit haven't much time to pay with it. I am not partitioning the sdcard. The gapps I downloaded doesn't have enough space to install. I've seen people mention a micro gapps but... The links I have found for that seem to be dead. Still looking for a gapps I can install to internal.

Do a Google search for "pa gapps" and it should be the first link taking you to the XDA forum. Select the mini or micro gapps for 4.4.2 (be careful as the 4.4.3 gapps just released, you don't want them)

All experience of ROM performance is in part a case of YMMV depending on individual use.
I had a spontaneous reboot once in ~10 months running Succulent's CM10.0 12/31. No other issue whatsoever. Other folks also have had good experiences with it -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572987.
I've been running CM11 M6 since it first came out, my one significant issue with it is Google Search freezing & crashing the NT about half of the times -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560827&highlight=google+search&page=40.
