latest cm10.1 20130113 update not compatible with siyah?

[kchung1980]

Hi guys

I just updated to the latest cm10.1 nightly update today and when I reflash siyah 1.8.6 All problems seems to happen. The cyanogen boot up logo started extremely slow and when the phone booted up the ui and the whole phone just unusably lags.
I had to restore from a backup and when I tried to reinstall siyah again the same thing happens.
Now Im just using the stock cm kernel but missing my over clock
Anyone else going through this problem?

What ROM were you running prior? Try a clean install and let CM 10.1 settle a bit then flash your kernel.

[Kernel] [Aosp] [JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel (JB41 V1.10, JB42 V2.2, 1/10/13) - Verizon Galaxy S III Development - RootzWiki you could give this a go as well.

I was simply using the cm10.1 nightlies...it was just an update.

I did however not have the kernel flashed when I updated the ROM through cmupdater. But I don't think that should make a difference right?

 

[clueless77]

I wouldn't think so but I can't be for sure. I never update a ROM in that manner. I always flash in CWM just so I know every step was taken. I've only dirty flashed a few times even. But that's a personal preference.

The SIYAH kernel is for the INT version of the S3 only... Not the VZW....

I am using i9300...always have been.
Its working now.

There was an update siyah 1.8.7 yesterday also which has solved the problem.
Thanks

What steps do you take when you update a nightly on CWM?

What steps do you take when you update a nightly on CWM?

Just the normal steps. Wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. Flash ROM then the proper gapps. Then wipe cache, dalvik again. Then reboot. Are you having an issue?

 

[kchung1980]

I never go through that whole process...I just update thru cmudater. I can understand the benefits of flashing everything from scratch but the annoying thing is you lose all data and all games and apps will be cleared.

That, my friend is why I use titanium back up

 

[kchung1980]

I never gave titanium backup a chance really...I just always make a cwm backup and have gotten used to updating in that manner. Never really has any issues tho?

 

[clueless77]

Well back in my Droid X days I never stayed on one ROM for very long. Most were kangs anyway. Never really a CM 7 official nightly I never had an updater option that I can recall and very rarely use the nandroid backups I make so titanium backup is just another part of flashing to me.

 

[kchung1980]

Ok..I have downloaded titanium pro. Just backed everything up. Cleared my whole phone data dalvik etc etc. Just thought I would start fresh. However when I booted up titanium needed downloading again?

I would have thought superuser would have somehow kept titanium?

I backed up a nandroid with cwm just before hand just invade so I'm back to where I was.

So do I have to download titanium again or am I doing something wrong?

 

[clueless77]

Yes just go to market and get titanium backup and don't forget to allow 3rd party apps in settings then run titanium backup edit filters for your backed up apps. I'd personally spend a few bucks and get the pro key but again personal preference

Also when restoring from titanium you have the option restore app only or data only or both
