Updating from cm7 7.0 to the newest nightly build.

Alright, I know. It's here somewhere, but Google, and the search here aren't cutting it. I am on the old cm7(Emmc) with the old kernel, and I want to update to a newer nightly build. How do I go about doing it? I am afraid to flash a new nightly because of the kernel. Does it flash with the new build? I am running smooth now, but wanna try out the working USB. Thanks......

Just do a nandroid, flash the latest nightly, clear the caches. you are good to go. the nightly contains the new uboot and kernel.

Make sure you also flash the latest 6/13 gapps after you flash the latest nightly.

Im also going to update from nightly 87, .29 kernel and 1.1 uboot. I want to install nightly 117 or 118. I know the new uboot gets flash automatically. So just to clarify steps. First install nightly then kernel 6/30, gapps. Clean cache, wipe dalvik. Correct?

What about updating Clockwork Recovery? I've seen some people talking about it -- is it actually necessary?

Use Rom Manager to update clockwork to the latest. Can also use it for flashing nightlies... or RC1.

if you wish to check out usb hosting, you'll need to flash dal's new kernel 6/30 and his awesome app nook color tweaks

[Q] confused on cm7 latest versions and kernals

OK.
been out of the game for a couple of months not really keeping up to date.
i am running cm7 rc 1.5 at the moment.
all is well but i have noticed as few niggles and would like to flash the latest rc or maybe even the latest nightly.
so ok i see from doing a bit of reading that the latest is cm7 rc 1.0 and the latest nightly was 02/01/2012.
but i am now a bit confused as i see there are 2.2 and 2.3 kernals.
so question
do i need to flash just the latest cm7 rc1.0 and then flash the newest nightly over it or do i need to flash a kernal with them as well.
finally am i right in thinking these are indeed the latest releases?
answers appreciated before i flash them tonight.
cheers

If you want to use any defy+ builds (both cm7 and cm9), you have to flash cm9 kernel (i.e. gingerbread, 2.3).
Otherwise, just flash the cm7 kernel (i.e. froyo, 2.2).

Here're your options:
1. Flash any of the latest SBFs. You'll get the latest Gingerbread kernel in the process which works everthing - Stock, CM7 nightlies and CM9 nightlies.
2. Flash the CM9 Kernel. Then flash CM7 nightly, or CM9.

thanks for the replies.
ok i did quite a lot of reading of the cm7 and cm9 threads last night.
so it appears that if i want to use cm7 after the 12th decemeber i need to flash the 2.3 CM9 kernal but before that it is simply a matter of flashing the cm7 zip.
if i do flash the cm9 kernal and want to go back to cm7 2.2 then i simply flash the cm7 zip and the cm7 kernal.
pretty straightforward if i have it right.
however i am now not sure which cm7 is the latest stable release as i have found cm7 1.0 rc1 and cm7 1.0 rc0.
now i am gonna hazard a guess that the 0 is the latest but if someone can clarify that would be good.

now i use the lastest nightly version, if i wanna upgrade to the cm9, do I have to flash the Gingerbread kernel ?

Not necessarily. Quarx's ICS build is for the Froyo Kernel.

CM7.1 stable on tmobile USA
How does CM7.1. stable work on Defy with Tmobile USA. Any bugs like Wifi etc.
Thx

[Q] Defy+ - Help choosing CM7 ROM (Android 2.3.4)

I own a Defy+ with Android 2.3.4 (4.5.1-134_DFP-89) branded by Vodafone-Italy.
I would like to run a CM7 ROM without flashing kernel as I read that flashing kernel 2.3.6 is a one way operation and no downgrade is possible.
I read in other thread that this WhiteRabbit ROM which is flashable but uses GO Launcher that I do not like.
Are there other CM7 ROMs working with Defy+ and with less customization (CM7 "pure" would be great but I think epsilon3 ROMs are 2.3.6 kernel only)?
Thanks and sorry for being noob

defy+ cm7.2 nightlies for 2.3.4
If you want pure CM7.2 you could actually use epsylon's defy+ nightly builds
I suggest new CM7.2 Nightly build for defy+
Epsylon7 currently makes Cm7.2 defy+ nightly builds WITHOUT Kernel so that they are compatible with most (all?) current defy+ phones (i.e android 2.3.4 / 2.3.5 / 2.3.6).
from this great thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1458729 i found:

I used 2ndInit v2.0 from here (it has integrated busybox and CWM aka ClockWorkMod):

have fun!
p.s. a lot of different roms can be tried without having to upgrade SBF and blow those damned efuses.. do some reading around here on fixed SBFs and nandroid backups and you will understand more

Thanks for suggestions. I already have CWR and Snd Init. I will try CM in the weekend.
EDIT: writing from CM72, I could not resist. At a quick look... it is another phone
Some occasional app crash, but works great.

A little update and a big thanks.
Everything works fine here on CM 7.2.
The difference in fastness of CM is impressive, camera works and battery charges to 100%. It seems CM consumes a bit more battery but it worthes it.
The only feature which is significantly worse than the original are the vocal commands which does not understand italian at all, but the applications itself is ok.
I will investigate on that.
Does anybody know if CM 7.2 (whenever it will be out) will OFFICIALLY support Defy+?
I could not find anything neither here nor on CM forums.
Stock - Cyanogenmod 7.2

yes from what i understand the CM7.2 Nigtlies will become official when once they are stable Epsylon/Quarx (and maniac103 ?) are working as part of official CM team..

hi guys!
i have a annoying issue with this nightly version(cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). my wifi shot dawn after ~20 min, when im not using my phone (i dont switch on the screen) its a bug or thers a setting for solve that problem?
thanks!
ps: sry for my english, im kinda bigginer

It works fine if I start from 2.3.6? I've got me too the MB526 form Vodafone (si sono italiano pure io ).
What do you think about this room after 2 days? Yes, it's not a long time...but...i cloud not resist me too!!!!!!!

I don't know coming from 2.3.6, but coming from 2.3.4 I was really impressed.
PROs:
- phone is much more responsive
- switching wifi and silent mode on/off very fast and no need to confirm which wlan each time
- I got rid of Motoblur (common inbox is awful)
- audio volume increased
VSs:
- some occasional app crash
- camera works but the impression is a little less quality
- original vocal commands worked much better
From what I understood 2.3.6 should be ok as you don't flash kernel, but backup backup and backup again!
@lord: if the phone is idle why you need wifi? I would not notice that, but I will take a look.

Hi your posts were very helpfull to me, cause you have the same phone and build as I do. However, installing a CM7.2 on my Defy+ is still unsuccesfull.. As you said, I did not install a different SBF, but root my phone, install 2ndinit an made a nandroid backup (which I am now restoring after a failed ROM load )
I follow the steps in the topic you gave, but the problem is that my 2ndinit (CMW) says: "E:/Can't open /tmp/recovery.log" when I load the zip file from my SD card (after wiping cache and data). Pretty annoying. I tried now with "cm72.120127.0846-Nightly-Defy+" and a non Defy+ and more recent one: "CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip"
Have been googling the error message, but most people say it happens when the wrong CM is used (not for Defy+) but I am doing that right..

Which version of CWM did you install?
After you install 2nd init for defy and open the app there are two options:
Stable recovery
Latest recovery.
I think you installed the stable recovery. If yes, now try installing the Latest recovery and install CM7. If no may be we will have to figure out something else!

I did choose the stable version indeed 0.6.7.
Now i did uninstall it and installed the latest 1.0.7, but when I reboot my phone it won't get into the boot menu but just boots into android. Tried it several times, but only with 0.6.7 I seem to be able to get in the menu

I have white rabbit 1.3 right now and it came with a bunch of cool customizing installation options though aroma, including ICS style which runs ADW instead of GO, much cleaner/faster, also my battery life is awesome. or you could download CM7 Barebones Jordan and build your own. I'm pretty sure I found both ROMs somewhere in these pages.

Defy+ from MIUI to CM10 Jelly Bean (Quarx's Build)

Hi guys,
i know that there might already be an existing thread about this but i wouldn't create one if i had found something that helps me.
Im using a Defy+ with Miui 2.3.2 and i really want to move to CM10 Jelly Bean.
I've found a really cool thread from Quarx and Epsylon about installing CM10 on a Defy+.
I already downloaded the newest release (04.09.) zip file and also the google apps and put both on my SD card.
But as it seems and as i have heard, it's not possible to move from a NON-CM version like MIUI to a CM version by going the typical steps (booting phone in recovery mode, choosing the Quarx zip file and installing it).... or am i wrong?
Can i just put firmware and google apps on my SD card and install that zip from recovery mode and everything's working well?
I didn't mention to wipe the dalvik cache here cause it's just a detail. I just wanna know if this MIUI to CM transformation is possible.
Hope you can help me, i really wanna use Quarx's CM10 cause i've heard it's amazing.
Thank you guys

is there noone who can help me with this or at least give me a link to another thread that already deals about this?

I don't think there would be any problem provided you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM.

ahhh, now i remember which problem there was with changing from MIUI to CM.
Doesnt MIUI use another kernel than Quarx's newest CM?

Unless and utill you downgraded your kernel to the froyo one, you won't have any issues. I have flashed WIUI GB version for Defy+ and for me the kernel is still the stock one.

Can anyone hep me with this? I had miui then tried to flash cm10, i followed all the steps but when booting up for first time it got stuck miui screen. I guess this means i have the wrong kernel but im not sure how to correct it

1. Flash a new kernel OR
2. Flash your stock SBF, re-root and go from there OR
3 (New option now) Flash the latest quarx JB CM10 with custom kernel included.

I have tried out, Paranoid Android, AOKP, Omni and CM 11. So far Mahdi ROM is the most stable 4.4 rom out for the G2.
He contribute so fast, and bugs are fixed very fast. The ROM got OTA updates now awesell.
Go and check it out!

Thanks for the suggestion but the thing is I am new in these advanced android stuffs. So i would prefer to choose from the renowned rom makers. So far I only found my device d802 listed in cyanogenmod and aokp's website. So which one should I choose from these two?
And i should get the latest nightly build right? (as in today's one)

I would recommend the latest SNAPSHOT cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-d802.zip since it's a bit more stable then the nightlys.
And if you go for nightly, always check the CM 11 Official thread before upgrading the nightlys to see if some people have any big issues.
But like i said, I would recommend you to take the latest SNAPSHOP.
Cheers!

I would recommend, take advance wipe in twrp and check: Dalvik Cache + System + Data + Cache and you will be fine!
Much better to be on the safe side and do a real cleaning before flashing a ROM.

Thanks! Will download the rom and flash it now. Hope everything goes well
