The official blog of CyanogenMod has posted few points that the users must read before flashing a CM13 ROM, the points are listed below.
- If you are on CM 12.1 YOG4P or CM 12.1 YOG7D releases, we recommend you stay on course with the SNAPSHOT release channel and not jump to nightlies unless you are willing to accept a dip in quality. Our stable branches are vetted, CTS run and (in some cases) shipped on retail devices – which means the quality of those branches is far and above that of nightlies. We’d advise these folks to stay on the SNAPSHOT train, and we’ll have a quality approved SNAPSHOT for CM13 sometime Jan.
- If you are on a 12.1 nightly, you can ‘dirty flash’ CM13 (read update like any sane person) as long as you also update your third-party add-ons in the same pass. This means, if you use Xposed, OpenGapps, etc. flash a Marshmallow compatible version of them immediately after your CM13 flash.
- If you have taken any unofficial, XDA or self-made builds of the CM13 source code, we’d advise you to wipe upon coming to our official nightlies as we cannot ensure upgrade compatibility with third party distributions. Of course, you are welcome not to heed our suggestion, but don’t blame us if something goes sideways.
Please follow all the above-mentioned points before flashing CM13 else you may get a boot loop or other type of errors. CM13 id based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and consist of all the features that are available on Android 6.0 along with some modifications and features of CyanogenMod OS that include custom theme support.
