Hello all.... can i get some assistance please???

ROM Manager should make your life a little easier.
Install ROM Manager, start it up, make sure that you RTFM.
To save yourself from making unrecoverable mistakes, search the forum for "nandroid backup" and do one before you start messing about with updating your ROM. You might want to investigate Titanium Backup so that your installed programs and data can be reloaded after a wipe.

Or:
Download 7.0.3, like you probably downloaded your nightly build, and flash it on CWR (ClockWork Recovery).
You'll probably need to convert your Gen (I had to), for that I used a thing called CM7 Universal Converter, worked for me, should work for you. Download it, put it into your SD card (like CM) and then install CM and after CM install the converter.

[Q] MIUI Weekly update how to help

For people using MIUI, does anyone know step-by-step what to do in order to flash the updated MIUI each week for the bravo?
I'm currently on 1.9.9 via rdannar's link and want to flash to 1.9.16.
I tried doing some research on these threads and so far I:
-downloaded the defy update rom from miuiandroid.com and then deleted boot, devtree, and logo
-replaced the defy update META-INF folder, with rdannar's META-INF from his first MIUI version.
what next?
Thanks for the help!

Could someone write a step-by-step instruction for miui update? I always get camera message "cannot connect to camera" before camera even started.

Camera doesn't work with stock app... that's why you get this message.
Sent from my CM7 Motorola Bravo

Yes, I know that stock app doesn't work. What I'm trying to say is that 3rd p. apps like Action Snap or Fast Burst Camera doesn't work either when I'm trying to port the miui rom. In addition, the stock camera doesn't even start and I get this message in a second when I'm trying to open it. For instance, camera starts and this message appears after I'm trying to shot a pic in roms by MotorolaBravo user. I hope I made my statement more clear.

Latest/ best current Ginger Mod for A953?

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.

As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)

Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.

after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !

Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.

Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.

exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++

So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?

Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.
CU,
Mészi.

O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?

MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.

[Q] Camera issue with CM 7.2

Hello,
I have a Defy with red lens and after I install the CM 7.1.0-11 Stable, my camera display shows all images inverted.
So I searched for solutions in this forum, and read that some nightly builds has this problem solved.
I tried 3 different ROMs,
cm7-02162012-NIGHTLY-Defy from Quarx,
cm72-120131.0531-NIGHTLY-Defy from Epsylon3 with this fix
and Maniac103 builds from this link, and the problem persists.
Before every install, I wipe data/cache and Dalvik.
I tried to clear camera data in manage applications too. No results.
What more I can do to fix this issue?

reflash a good froyo sbf and then try installing stable cm7 7.1

There's a fix for that issue.
Download that and update via CWM

It worked on my MB526 running CM7.2 GB.

After a lot of tries of different ROMs, builds and fixes, the camera preview still inverted.
I attached a catlog file.I entered in the Camera app and take a shot. If someone can help me to find a solution for this issue.
Actually, I'm using the White Rabbit 1.3 rom.
