A: No, they do not work.
Q: There is no photosphere A: The photosphere is a feature of Google Nexus devices. If you want a photosphere, then buy Nexus, or use third-party cameras.
Q: What recovery should be used with CM10.1? A: Use CWM 6.0.1.9 or higher.
Q: I want to post logcat / report an error. What should I do? A: Post in topics about nightly builds CM10.1. Since this is a nightly assembly, do not expect a quick fix. The remaining discussions, such as suggestions for what you would like to see in CM10.1, leave in the official topics for discussion of CM10.1 or in the topics for discussion of night assemblies. Do not forget to follow the rules.
Q: Some applications crash with / do not start. What can be done? Рћ: Settings ->Applications ->Find the problem application ->Clear data ->Reboot. If this does not help, then perhaps the application is not compatible with the current version of the android. In this case, check if the application has been updated to fix the problems or contact the developer and report the problem.
Q: Why was there no night build today? A: Either there were no new changes, or Jenkins (the assembly server) was unable to combine as a result of any problem. If the latter, then someone will manually check the problem and solve it. Please be patient and do not clutter up topics with similar questions.
Q: Is there a patch from Exynos root exploit and from Sudden Death ("Sudden Death") in CM10.1? A: Yes, there is. You should also use patched recovery to completely get rid of Sudden Death. Recovery can be found on xda.
Q: How to enable "Developer Mode"? Рћ: In Settings ->About phone, click 7 times on the "Build Number"
Q: What is Google Apps and what are they for? A: Google Apps are Google applications and services (for example, Google Play). Initially, they are not added to the firmware (under the license of Google, developers are not allowed to do this). GApps need to be installed independently after each update.
Q: I can not find a market / add a Google account / A: No Google Apps package installed. Download it from the links in the header and install via CWM.
Q: I installed CM some time ago. Now I saw that since then there have been several updates. Do I need to put all the updates in a row or is it enough to put the latest. A: It is enough to put the latest.
Q: Why does the network icon change color after connecting to the Internet (from gray to blue)? A: Blue is a connection to Google servers. You can disable the check only by turning off the background data transfer.
Q: Where can I turn on closing the application by holding the Back button? Рћ: Settings - For developers - Closing applications (check the box).
Q: Where can I see the numbers on the SIM card? A: In the standard contact manager, they can only be imported.
Q: The regular player does not play AVI files. A: There are no AVI codecs in the firmware - the Cyanogenmod team has no right to add them. they are proprietary. When developing CyanogenMod, only OpenSource is used. Use alternative video players.
Q: The program% name% does not work. A: Check the compatibility of the program with ICS / JB. Most likely, this is the problem of the application, not the firmware.
Q: The program% name% is not available in the Market. "Device not supported" A: The program may not be adapted for Android 4 ICS / JB. Perhaps the reason is the modified DPI, if you changed it.
Q: Why does the battery consume so much? A: 1. The first 2-3 days after the firmware can quickly discharge the battery. To calibrate the battery must go through 2-3 cycles of full discharge and battery charge.
O: 2. After disconnecting from the BB, reboot and turn off debugging, if enabled.
Q: How to configure the restriction of the use of Internet traffic? Рћ: Settings - Data transfer - Set a limit (put a checkbox). In the diagram, set limits for warning (orange slider) and shutdown (red slider). To view the use of Wi-Fi in the Menu (press the touch Menu button), you need to turn on Wi-Fi traffic display.
Q: How to disable background data transfer? Рћ: Settings - Data transfer - Menu - limit the background. dir (tick box)

Q: Does CyanogenMod switch music by holding the volume buttons? A: Yes, there is.
Q: Why does my light bulb turn green by 90%? A: Regular batteries are initially designed to charge up to 90% and not up to 90. Firstly, this prevents excessive battery wear, secondly, it helps to avoid overcharging (
link1,
link2).
Q: And why then on other firmware the light comes on at 100%? A: The most plausible explanation is that in official firmware, the threshold of current drop in charging, switching the light bulb to green, is significantly lower than in CyanogenMod. In fact, the battery still charges up to 90%, just Cyanogen shows it more honestly.
Q: Why does the first 10% charge go so fast? A: Because it’s actually not 10%, but much less, just the system displays them as 10% (
link).
Q: Is exFat supported in CyanogenMod? A: Supported from 07/08/13
Q: I flashed CyanogenMod and noticed that Bluetooth is too short. Can this be corrected? A: You can try this method:

Q: After the firmware CM9 / 10 / AOSP / AOKP, KIES does not see the connected phone. What to do? A: The fact is that the "Kies from Samsung" program works only with official firmware for phones that were officially released by Samsung. And all the mods coming out on the basis of or under the name CyanogenMod are an unofficial development. And in this case, the Kies program simply does not see the firmware data.
Q: What is the folder "0" and is it possible to remove it? A: This is because Android 4.2 supports multi-user profiles. You are the first user and your personal folder on sdcard "0". Add another user and a folder "10" will be created for the new user.
