After a few weeks of keeping an eye of CM12 nightly, I finally bite the bullet and upgraded. \u00a0Since the first nightly on 6 Jan, the patches for each nightly has been really long. \u00a0On some days (or nights) it even flows to 2 pages. \u00a0These patches include some of the CM goodness (eg Theme Engine) on top of the Android Open Source Project or AOSP.<\/p>\n

On 27 Jan, there were only 1 page long of patches and there were no adverse feedback for sometime. I thought why not give it a go. \u00a0Dirty flashing from CM11S 44S gave a black screen. \u00a0A phone reset kick started the initial setup screen. \u00a0This time enrolling Google Account with 2FA is much easier. \u00a0The installer listened for the SMS message, send back the code and continued the enrollment smoothly. \u00a0On KitKat, it would just hang. \u00a0you will need to skip the Google Account step and manually add it in later. I did not get the restore screen for apps. \u00a0Small matter, I just re-installed \u00a0from Play Store and restored the data\/config from Titanium Backup. \u00a0Since I prefer the OnePlus or Cyanogen camera, I sided loaded it from APKmirror.<\/p>\n

Not surprising root access was lost. \u00a0I installed SuperSu from Play Store but the app could not root. \u00a0It turns out that I need to enable root access in Settings, Development tab.<\/p>\n

Weird stuff:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There is no indication of charging with the battery icon. \u00a0Usually there is a \u00a0lightning indicator or a wavy percentage indicator. \u00a0Nothing.<\/del> Somebody suggested to change the battery from text to text and icon.<\/li>\n
  2. Alarm volume is way too loud. \u00a0So loud that it gets distorted.\u00a0This was caused by the app.\u00a0<\/del> A volume big fixed in later nightlies<\/li>\n
  3. Some apps may not work properly. \u00a0Dialer One, my favorite dailer app since Jelly Bean does not pop up to answer a call. I could use it to make calls. Removed it and the stock dailer took over to answer calls.<\/del> Fixed in later nightlies<\/li>\n
  4. Priority and Interruptions mode is strange. \u00a0Does data sync still works? It doesn’t. \u00a0Only alarms and SMS.<\/li>\n
  5. The new boot animation is really bright and it sears into your eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So far, camera, video and conference call works. \u00a0Gestures are installed but disabled. \u00a0Screencast app is not installed. \u00a0I guess there are more features to come.<\/p>\n

    CM12 changelog<\/a>\u00a0Nightlies<\/a><\/p>\n

    Edit: 2 Feb<\/h4>\n

    6. WiFi is unstable. \u00a0It keeps crashing and the logcat shows DHCP failure. \u00a0I think it even causes the DHCP pool to be exhausted causing my AP to deny access. \u00a0Rebooted the AP, so far so good.<\/p>\n

    7. Audio glitches. \u00a0Not so apparent when listening to rock music, on classical it is a showstopper.<\/p>\n

    8.. Ghost touch. \u00a0It suddenly made an appearance during dinner time. \u00a0So I just cleared the caches and luckily it came back.<\/p>\n

    Edit: 21 Feb<\/p>\n

    9. Mysterious changes to display brightness. \u00a0Sometimes the Display will get set to maximum or minimum brightness.<\/p>\n

    10. WhatsApp have stopped resulting in no incoming messages. \u00a0Data was working though.<\/p>\n

    When WhatsApp problem occurred twice in 4 days, I gave up and went back to CM11s KitKat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
