I have been putting off on installing 7.1.0.rc1 update for fear of messing up what is currently runnning ok.
I just got a notification on the bottom bar from Rom Manager that the new CM7 is available and if I would like to update to the lastest version. I may be mistaken but I remember reading some posts here from people who have gone this route and screwed up their CM7 to the point of having to reinstall from scratch. So the question is: Is it safe to update from Rom Manager or is it better to do the copy the new CM7 zip to /boot and reboot into recovery mode?
I downloaded it from the developer site, booted into recovery, wiped and installed it then installed kernel 6/30. Running at 1200mhz interactiveX/ quadrant 2969 / nenamark 23.5 / neocore 29.5
TMI?

Depends on whether you are running CM7 from the sdcard or emmc. You can't use Rom Manager for much of anything if you're running off the sd. I'm running off the sd, so I can't tell you anything more, but there's a lot of information on this forum about RM if you search for it.

Ya, I forgot to add that I am running off of SD also. I guess that answers my question.
Hi.
My nook color was on 1.4 (latest bn update), I dual boot it with cm7 following this set of instructions - youtube.com/watch?v=OxDEZ1Fc6iE
when started, the android guy didn't appear and it didn't ask to log in to my google account. in the menu, there's no market.
went to settings - manage applications - there's no google service framework nor market.
I then rooted it instead with cm7 again following - youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0
same thing, no google service framework, no market.
I've dual booted, rooted, unrooted to 1.0, rooted, over and over again but no luck. I doubt there's something wrong with the files, is it not reading/installing it properly? I downloaded the files through the right links multiple times.
since then, I tried all sorts of ways to try to download the apps but nothing works as well. I also tried installing the files individually (google service framework, onetimeinitializer, setupwizard, talk, vending) but it keeps saying "Application not installed."
Once I did manage to download market, but when I open it, it just gets out and crashes.
Is there another way to root it with a sure way of having market on it? or what am I doing wrong?
Please help. ): I'm not an expert with all these things so if you could explain it in simple terms.
So are you running from an SD card? Did you download gapps.zip and put it on the boot partition?
Sent from space
yes, I rooted from an sdcard. I followed the exact instructions on the video - (youtube.com/watch?v=lmmmm8cBpe0) Is something missing? Am I suppose to partition the sd? By my understanding, partition is something like splitting the memory on the sd? is it?
Sorry, I'm a real beginner on this.
Well the video you followed on Failtube has you installing to your internal memory. Did you flash the google apps zip while in clockwork?

My connection is horrible for video right now so please forgive me for not watching the video... did you include the latest GApps.zip and install that too?
Put the latest GApps*.zip on a sd card and install using ROM Manager.

yup I tried doing that too. the files still didn't appear.
Okay, I managed to install CM7 and market! I followed eyeballer's guide at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227&fb_source=message through Koopakid08's link on his/her signature.
There was market on it and it opens. but doesn't start dowloads. I did the usual of delete the caches, reboot and now, it downloads fine.
I then overclocked it with www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mvwmx9qSZY guidance. not much of a guide but i managed to find the files and installed. but it overclocked to 1.1ghz, not 1.3. I don't really mind, but just wondering what I did wrong.. I'm thinking of trying it again but using the latest phiremod 7.1. I used the old 6.1 yesterday instead because I wasn't very sure.
So, now my question would be do I have to revert it back to cm7 then overclock it again? or can I just do it over what I've already done? or must I start from scratch, unroot, root to cm7 then overclock?

You can just install it as an update using ROM Manager and not lose any data. Just make sure the only boxes checked when you update are wipe dalvik cache and backup.

I was about to update it, but now, my google account keeps saying my password is wrong, and I can't sign in. What can I do now? I tried updating the rom from rom manager but it says there's no updates available.
if I were to do it through recovery, I need to burn the clockwork on the sd, put the files in, and just install zip? or do i need to format system and data first?

Go to download a rom to choose the rom you want.
You should install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards. If you want to update manualy through recovery then you need to wipe dalvik cache and then use the install a zip option. To boot into recovery hold volume up on boot.

I went - Rom manager - Download ROM - Error occured while processing the ROM list/Error occured while Developing Download list
How do I continue? ):
If I do update it manually through recovery, I need to install the phiremod v7.1, do I need to install gapps_phiremod_7.1 as well? the instructions are gone since phiredrop deleted his website. I can't find any other instructions for updating from 6.1 to 7.1
I still can't sign into my google account, keeps saying my password is incorrect. Any way to fix this?
"install clockwork to your internal memory using rom manager and then you won't have to fool around with SD cards."
so thats how it works. hahaha, that'll be great and less of a hassle for me. I've been repeating the burn clockwork, install, flash all sorts of roms too many times.

1. Try pressing menu- clear download cache and see if that changes anything.
2. Yes you should flash gapps again seeing how you are having problems with your google account.
3. I've never used phiremod so I am not sure if that is a problem. I would suggest that you go with just virgin CM7.1 but I'm sure phiremod will be fine too.

cleared download cache, didn't work. ): how do I revert back to cm7?
I found out the problem to my google account. turns out, my account was freezed by gmail because of suspicious activities. so, I changed my password and it all works again. yay!
update: OH!! after I signed into the google account, I can go into download roms! double yay! I'm downloading it right now, will see if it works once done! question, would I still need to download gapps again?
Not if they are all working fine.

Okay, after all the trial and errors, my nook color is finally up and running awesomely on cm7,phiremod 7.1 at 1.2ghz.
Went to rom manager - download rom - phiremod - v7.1 - reboot after that, I had to do gapps again because some files like market wasn't in the menu, but on the homepage. rom manager - download rom - phiremod - gapps - reboot.
so everything is working well so far.
thanks to all the help I received, especially koopakid08!
If you want to easily overclock your nook to the Max, along with adjusting voltage to handle it and adjusting speaker gain and other stuff, look up Nook Tweaks (icon is a nook outline with gears inside). The process is very simple, just make sure you install it to the device not SD (I made that mistake), because otherwise it won't set the CPU speed and voltage settings on boot (even with the boxes checked). I am able to get my nook running smoothly at 1300MHz, but the option goes up to 1600. So wherever your nook's Max is can be found with this app. No need to readjust your kernel, just install the app and go. If you want to make sure that it is working on boot, download autostarts, which shows what starts during boot.

True but you will not gain any performance by going over 1.2, only worse battery life and the chance of overheating.
Sent from space
Well I certainly don't think I know any better than anyone else, its just that I recorded a pretty decent increase from 1.2 to 1.3 when I ran a benchmark using Quadrant Standard. That's the only basis I currently have, but I figured since Quadrant Standard got good reviews that it was creditable... do you know of a better benchmark?

Oh, sounds great but I think I'll keep it at 1.3 rather than 1.6, I don't want it to overheat it or something. I've already downloaded the app and tried to change it to 1.3, but what is the CPU stepping 1,2,3,4,5? I changed it to 800, 900, 1000, 1200 and 1300. Is that okay?
what's the consensus about stability, supprot development and battery life? It seems like CM7 offers the most battery life, CM10 is still unstable and CM9 has hardware acceleration but battery drain. I am on CM9 and wondering whether I should move forward to CM10 or just keep waiting for Qarx to release better releases?
Also is there a way, on my phone, to be notified of build releases?
What is the difference (I have a Bravo) between Kobe and Qarx builds? I have been using Kobe can I just flash to Qarx?
Also if I'm upgrading from CM9 to CM10 is there a way to keep my settings, files, homscreen icons and simply flash to CM10?
I am on the KOBE build, and wanted to know will I have things like HWA with the generic CM9 build...is there any advantage of the generic CM9 builds? Also will I be able to go to settings->:system updates and update using CM9's update service?
My battery life stinks on CM9!

Cm9 was alredy left in the past, there will be no more changes to fix battery drain, you should move alredy to cm10, the problem is present but it still has support from devs.
In the lastest build from quarx for bravo, bravo rom updater is working, but the app says defy rom updater and you just need to change some things inside config to make it work

For the rom updater do you have the thread for how to change the config file? I can't seem to find it on google.
Also no way to set the number of homescreens on cm10? Any other big changes they are looking forward to? That already seemed to slow down my bravo more than cm9.
Say I want to try to flash CM7 Kobe...could I simply do what I did for upgrading CM9->CM10..wipe the cache/davlik
So I'm on CM10 right now. Can I wipe the cache/davlik and flash the CM7 nightly/gapps?
There is no smartass profile on the bravo. Can I add it somehow?
I flashed CM10 fine with CWM. Only did a cache/davlik
Some people recommend a factory reset though? Why is that? I mean why go through the hassle of changing all your settings and reinstalling all your apps? I find it that I can't titanium restore my apps because the googleapps store from cm9 has a different account id than the current google apps installation on cm10.
Much slower startup too

The easiest way to check for updates is to check up on the forums where updates/changelogs are being posted.
For homescreens in cm10, I don't use trebuchet. Alternatively, apex launcher and nova allow you to change the number of homescreens.
Personally, I wipe cache/dalvik and wipe data each time I flash roms. It just seems safer that way, even though it's a pain to restore. Can you explain the app id problem you're talking about?
Governors are found in the development section of bravo forums, posted by skeevy420.

So I remember from stock->cm9 when I tried to restore my apps via titanium backup (and maybe in retrospect I erred when I tried to restore google store) there was some difference in the google store id off my old phone and my new phone's google store account on cm9...the difference in the store ids between my old apps and my new apps wouldn't allow me to authenticate all my applications. That and a lot of apps failed on startup because of it. Basically I dont think there is an easy way around reinstalling everything between cm9 and cm10

Hmmm. The only issue I've had is trying to restore system apps/data between android 2.3.x and 4.0.x/4.1.x. Never had problems with restoring various other apps. That being said, you shouldn't have an issue restoring any apps from ics to jb.
Don't restore the google play store. That's a system app and I think that's why you've had problems. Just flash gapps when you flash roms. You can then do batch restore in titanium and it will restore your missing apps/data. I think that should fix the problems you've been having.

Always factory reset when switching the rom base; eg. CM7 to CM9 or CM10. The reason is that the apps use the same filenames for sqlite databases, which don't have the same values from CM7\Miui\9\10\stock\MS2. That's where all the bugs come from when you don't wipe data\factory reset.
Google "fixed" Play to make it like that. If I remember correctly, there's an option in TB Pro that allows you to change the market id to your current rom's id. Under Batch\Market, if memory serves me well.
SmartassV2 is in the DX Gov pack. A trick is to just push it to /system/lib/modules/cpufreq_smartass.ko and overwrite the default smartass module with V2, since they use the same values to be tweaked you'll be able to configure V2 this way. This trick doesn't work with boostedass to overwrite boosted; only smartassV2 over smartass works.
Smartass sucks and is bugged by not using the 2nd vsel profile. Use SmartassV2 or Boosted. Oddly enough, I've found that if I use boosted\smartassV2 in combination with the vsel settings of [email protected]\[email protected]\[email protected] I get better battery life than when using [email protected]\[email protected]\[email protected] since 700mhz can handle more crap than 600 and doesn't need to jump up to vsel3 for greater processing power. Hell, I get 24 hrs easily like that and I use a Live Wallpaper (Galaxy Pack, its awesome so go buy it; Have Planet Pack from the same dev and its awesome as well).
You can speed up the startup by disabling the boot animation, removing unused system apps, using V6 properly, using F The Logs mod. Set the Governor to Ondemand\Performance\UserSpace (performance\userspace force it to use vsel3 exclusively) in the bootmenu for booting up and use something like NoFrills\CM Performance Menu\SetCpu to change to boosted\smartassV2 once you're fully booted and in the system. Another good tweak is to modify the sio scheduler scripts. I've done plenty of posts on how I mod bootmenu scripts to fix sio and to make it work better. The sio fix will give you much faster read times for the system memory (twice as fast for some apps, literally twice).
You can use the /system/bootmenu/scripts/overclock.sh and /system/bootmenu/config/overclock.conf from my latest CM7 Kang to apply the sio tweak. Just replace them before you flash the rom or adb push with 0777 permissions.

Most devices have 4+ vsel slots. Moto phones are screwed by the bootloader\limited Moto Kernel features.
It should be. The thing with the bravo (when tweaking governors) is trying to find the magic values that use vsel2 more than vsel3 and still provide a smooth ui. The reason that a 700mhz vsel2 works good is that the Bravo comes with a stock vsel3 of 800mhz. CM7\9 work\use resources much better than our stock Froyo making that 700mhz perform like 800mhz on a stock rom.
I want to know is the motorola defy+ 2.3.6 gingerbread stock rom that comes in built from the factory very buggy in nature??
are other users facing problems too??
i am facing some problems..such as
1.Low RAM availability
2. Bluetooth transfer from pc or laptop can only send zip files and nothing else..in all my previous phones..samsung,nokia etc.there was never such a problem
3.The phone restarts automatically sometimes.
4. SOme applications crash on their own..such as swiftkey.
5: 2gb sd cards run good.while 8gb sd cards cause problems.

please reply
I have a Defy+ with an 8 GB SD. My rom is CM10 2ndboot by Quarx. It has no problems. If your system is not stable you can set an higher Vsel in CPU settings in bootmenu (65 max). Every CPU is different.
Ps: I can only send zip files too via bluetooth, but you can use ES File manager to compress your files easily.
Sent from my flying overclocked Motorola Defy+ MB526 with CyanogenMod 10 and custom kernel using XDA app
With the stock file manager you can't send files with some extensions, like .apk etc...
Just install ES File Explorer or other similar and you will bypass this limitation.
I recommend you to try quarx's CM10 and maniac's CM7, and choose.
For me CM10 is fast at first and laggy after installing some apps.
So, I'm using CM7.
Good luck.
With the stock rom the phone lags a lot with a few apps installed . I'm considering switching to either CM7 or CM10.
