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

Hi guys,
Just have a quick question- wondering if anyone is running into the same problem. I just installed Cyanogen 7 rc1, and it is force closing between the load screen and the welcome screen (for the first time).
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but any help would be great.
Thanks
Based off what I've read in the development threads, the RC does't seem to be too much of an RC. I'd restore and wait.
you have to flash RC1 over a nightly build.

Yep! Its was a known issue with the first build of RC1. Something was botched. I recommend you either flash RC1 over nightly build #38, or you just flash nightly build #39 (which already includes fixes that were left out of RC1).
Cheers!
Okay so I have a Motorola Defy running on Nordic Froyo Kernel and with CM7.1 nightly 63 as the real system and CM9 111202 Nightly on dual boot (SD Card)
I've heard about the Defy+ ROMs such as MS2Ginger. Moreover, recently Epsylon3, the dev working on the ICS port upgraded to the GB sbf. So maybe the next CM9 builds will be running only on the new kernel.
MY QUESTION IS: Will I be able to revert back to stock Froyo safely after flashing the GB sbf? Will I be able to use all the ROMs working on stock Froyo like CM7.1 (which I can't live without) or MIUI? Is it worth upgrading to stock GB now or should I wait for a few weeks so that CM9 gets stable?
Thanks in advance!!
PS : I'm sorry for just another GB to Froyo thread but none of the others answered my question.........

CM7 is apparently custom GB ROM on Froyo kernels
You can move between GB kernel and froyo kernel, just make sure you flash the kernel zip file through custom recovery. That's how I keep moving so often between CM9+GB kernel and CM7.1+Froyo kernel.
Do NOT flash the GB full SBF through rsdlite, you'll loose downgradability.
Some users have reported that customer service said Defy+ will get ICS official update, if so, we Defy non-plus users can get that kernel too
I apologize for the noob question.
I have cm7 stable for my defy and am very pleased w/ it. I am waiting for cm9 stable, but was curious if the very last nightl build of cm7 would be better than the stable mod (since it's the newest version)
I'm wondering if the latest cm7 nightly ( cm_jordan_full-63.zip ) is as stable/more stable than the cm7 stable release. also, can i install the nightly build over my current cm7 stable? or do i have to wipe all my data and start fresh?
thanks,
I hope i'm not repeating some other thread, but i couldn't find this specific answers around.

"Stable" is a subjective question, but no you don't have to wipe your data; just wipe cache (not data) install zip from sd, choose the new nightly, install it, then "advanced", "wipe dalvik cache" wipe and reboot. You should still have all your apps and everything still but be on the new version.
If you don't like 63 or whichever you tried, no big deal, wipe cache again, reinstall previous version (or if you made a backup just restore it) the same way and you'll be back on that version.
So it's not *that* risky, just make sure to use the CWM recovery for everything, not "stock" (I've done that by mistake and had to reflash sbf, re root, install 2nd init etc all over again).
hope this helps one noob to another.
@jpchopper:
thanks,
when you say don't use "stock" instead of cwm what do you mean? is there a stock way to flash the rom? i thought when booting to recovery it automatically goes to cwm?
wiui
Hi, thanks again for all the help. i've been using the latest cm7.2 nightly and all's good (except my earpiece died, and i'm waiting for my k850i earpiece off ebay.)
Anyways, I was curious about trying wiui (non ics) and wondered since Miui is based from cm7 originally, can i flash the zip the same way as i did when i replaced cm7.1 stable to a nightly, or to 7.2 nightly? or iswiui too different and would i need ot do a complete wipe to install wiui fresh?
thanks,
Hi to All!
My device is Defy with red lenses.
Currently I have cm7.2 by epsylon which is actually for Defy+ (13 dec release).
I want to move back on Quarx CM releases. But they have old kernel. So when I install Quarx releases my phone is getting stuck on moto logo
How can I normally move back on Quarx releases without data lost and flashing full sbf?
Thanks for any advice!
Wich version use your phone : Froyo, GB 2.3.4, GB 2.3.6... Because if your phone is on GB Version you can't use Quarks CM7 and all the other roms with Froyo kernel.

You have to flash the CM7 kernel from here and then you'll have to wipe data and/or cache before installing the Quarx's build. I think it's the only way without SBF :/
For the sake of updatedness, what are the best kernels for Froyo and Gingerbread?
Also, I flashed a GB kernel to try out a CM9 build. Now I want to install the official 7.2 RC. I need to flash a Froyo kernel again right?
There are no custom kernels for the defy as it has a locked bootloader, only the official signed motorola ones, the froyo which came with defy and gb which came with defy+.
For cm7 you need froyo kernel, just reflash it. Cm9 have 2 builds - one for froyo kernel and one for gb kernel. I think the green lense defys may only work with froyo kernel.

What abt the DHT kernel from Walter. I think its not ripped from defy or defy+.
It is used in Motoginger roms
Hi, sorry for my first noob question ...
Quite the same question as the original :
I found here on the github (I can't post link) that 2.2.2-177 & 2.2.2-179 have a different Kernel hashes 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4 or 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8.
I thought the latest CM7.2 were containing the lastest kernel id 179.
When I look at mine I have 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4, which seems to be 177 ...
I'm actually on cm7.2 20120509-NIGHTLY-jordan, from the official nightlies ...
here (on the dowload page from Epsylon3, can't post ...) i found the 179 kernel, would it be necessary to flash it in order to have a matching kernel with the lastest nightlies ?
Only talking of froyo kernels ...

So do I think. However some people are often saying that they flashed a cm9 or whatever kernel... what do they mean by this.
P.S.: There are some attempts to boot another kernel with the help of kexec/2ndboot, but currently only with minor succes afaik.
