Hello,
i have a question regarding updating nightlies. Sorry about yet another question about updating, but I haven't found a clear answer in related threads.
I am wondering if it is safe to update between CM9 nightlies made by Epsylon3 and Quarx. If yes, can I update it without wiping (as I do when updating from one Eppy's nightly to another), or should I perform some wipes (which ones)?
I don't think you can, but wait for more expert users that can help you
Good luck

I think you can(I do it without wipe first time) but if you flash new built without wipe then you can have some bugs. Wiping is better and clear cache,dalvik cache.
I recommend multiboot to you, as you can enjoy both Quarx & Epsylon3's build on your virtual, while still base on stable ROM (CM7/Miui/ec) on your primary

I don't see why you couldn't switch between them. The "core" of the builds are similar, like CM7. For example, I'm flashing CM7 between Quarx/Eppy/maniac using the following steps:
-go to recovery
-wipe cache partition
-advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard (for the nightly)
-and optionally install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard (for Google aps)
@antukubo - Thanks for suggestion, but maybe in the future.
@deiuPP - Encouraged by your statement that the "core" of the builds are similar, I decided to try flashing without data wipe (only cache and dalvik) and it works like charm. Thanks
I do exactly as deiuPP said:

I have cyanogen mod 7.1.0 RC 1-vision installed on G2 already. Can somebody explain to me how I get to v 2.3.5? I know it has something to do with nightly builds and xboarder56. Im just a little confused on how and what order to flash things. Do I have to install every Nightly update or will the newest one be fine? And exactly what it xboarder56? Is that a modification of Cyanogensmod?
Thanks Sean.....
just install the newest nightly and youll have 2.3.5
xboarder56 is a guy that made a thread on how to install the stock launcher over the ADWlauncher
but you can alternately download a gingerbread launcher from the market and install it
Wipe, and flash the newest nightly just how you flashed RC1
Sent from my T-mobile G2 using Tapatalk
download the latest nightly, put on your SDcard
1) enter recovery (power button -> reboot -> 'recovery')
2) 'backup and restore' -> backup current ROM
3) wipe cache, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
4) 'Install zip from SDcard' -> Flash nightly.zip
5) reboot
6) fix permissions (ROM manager -> 'fix permissions'
7) reboot again
xboarder56 is a dev on here. he makes several different mods for CM7. The main one that people use is to put the stock GB launcher on CM7. CM7 by default has ADW launcher, but some prefer the stock one. Xboarder56 isn't the only one that has a stock launcher.zip available.
If you want the stock launcher, check the post in my sig. follow the directions carefully if you intend to re-flash nightlies and want to keep your screen placement.
Do I have to download each nightly build? Or can I skip builds from time to time? Are these beta builds? and if so any idea on a final version?
Thanks... Sean...

You can download and install every nightly. But you dont HAVE to. There is a group that only flashes one every few weeks. Either way you will be fine but if you want to be on the cutting edge of new features i would recommend installing it every day. For our phone specifically they come out between 115 am and 130 am. Like said above, wipe cache wipe dalvik install nightly fix permissions reboot with each nightly

Dalvik cache is under advanced. I believe if you're not running Apps2SD you can go without it.

Apps2SD has nothing to do with the Dalvik cache. Wipe it regardless of whether or not you use Apps2SD (which is unneeded unless ur still on a G1).

They are effectively beta builds. They're not official and not necessarily meant for the general flashing community, as they often contain bugs and untested changes.

like I said above, its under advanced -> wipe dalvik cache.
It has nothing to do with Apps2SD. On a related note, there's no need to run Apps2SD unless you have several gigantic games or something filling up internal memory. You should have more than enough internal memory to keep all apps on the phone itself.
When I wipe my Dalvik Cache, CWM says it cannot find the drive/partition for it. Its never caused a problem for me. I assumed it was due to sdcard partitions, which I used to use for Swap and Apps2SD only. Is it an internal memory partition for performance related caching? If so somethings messed up with my partitions.

What exactly is it saying? usually it will throw an error about SD-EXT. disregard the error.
For me when I flash new ROMs I use Superwipe+ to do all my wiping in one step. Its quick and effective.
Check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
Each and every morning, I make it my habit to launch Rom Manager (paid version), and select 'Check for updateds'. After it tells me there's an update available, I approve it and select to download (via wifi) gapps. Once it done downloading it then prompts me to choose wipe data & cashed, backup existing rom, or wipe dalvik cashe. I always select wipe Dalvik cashe, then I approve it to power off.
Bamb! easy sneesy .. My nightly rom gets updated!

I had the same question as the OP. I've been running CM v.7.1 RC1 for a while now and I love it. But I would like to check out the nightlies. Just so I am clear, to go from my current ROM to the latest nightly, I only need to to wipe cache and dalvik cache - and that's it? Somehow I thought the process was more difficult. I thought I'd have to restore my apps with TB and reconfigure all my settings...
And one last quick question. I've never needed to run 'fix permissions.' The sole FC I get is with LauncherPro, but only when I reboot. It doesn't bother me, and it seems like I've read about users who have problems after running the 'fix permissions' in RM. Can anyone elaborate on why that might be?
Thanks so much, guys.

upgrading from an older version of CM7 to a Nightly you don't have to wipe data. Just cache/dalvik and flash the nightly.

Fixing permissions is just a good rule of thumb to follow after flashing a new ROM so all your apps are setup properly. I haven't heard of Fix Permissions breaking anything.
Hello,
I have old Defy with Bayer module. Which software is better for me? I heard that GB kernel has a bug - full CPU thortle. But when it happens ? Does CM9 have any other bugs ? And is it possible to record videos on this?
Thank you for answers !
Hi,
which Kernel is better is related to the software you are using. But you can't be wrong to use the CM7 Kerner with Quarx newest builds. If you want to use Cyanogenmod 9 I would also recommend you to stay on Froyo-Builds, it causes less problems with the camera.
Im of course considering proper kernel for proper CM7 version.
If you use CM7, I see no reason to change to a GB-Kernel-Version, cause it makes nothing better. In additional the newest nighties are made by Quarx for the Froyo-Kernel. See on ge. tt/8rDd1nC
Edit: No space between the dot and the t
But I've heard that GB kernel is much faster... This problem with max CPU use is problem of soft and will be never fixed on this kernel ?
kernel doubt
hi sorry to bother you
i flashed cm7.1.0-rc1.5-jordan-signed.zip a couple months ago, working fine.
i've been wanting to try out the new cm9 builds.
mi kernel version is [email protected]# 1 i dont know if this "froyo kernel" o "gingerbread kernel"
1_which rom sould i flash... quarx (29 jan) or epsylon3 ( 31 jan)?
2_do i need to flash another kernel previously?
3_what steps do i need to take to flash it?
4_will i be able to downgrade back to froyo 2.2.1 or at least my current cm7 ?
thanks a million

1) both roms use froyo kernel, so you can try anyone.
2) you don't have to flash any kernel, cm7 uses froyo kernel aswell
3) I've just flashed 31Jan, I was using cm7 previously. What i did:
-reboot, when the motorolla logo displays, wait for the blue led to show and then press volume down.
-then you go to recovery, latest recovery. (I highly recomend to do a backup (nandroid) before wiping data)
-wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
-install from zip file, and choose either 29jan or 31jan zipfile. (remeber 31jan has gapps included, if you go for 29jan you should install gapps too)
-wipe cache.
-go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache.
-reboot!
First time to boot will take some minutes.
4) If you want to get back to cm7, just recover your backup (nandroid) or follow the same steps in 3) but installing cm7 zipfile.
Hope it helps you, if any more experienced user finds an error in what i've said, please correct me.

I have successfully rooted my DEFY+ (BL7, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-231) using this post
I got root and have the 2nd-init apk in my phone. I installed the stable for Cm version of bootloader, and tried to install CM7.2 nightly from 27th Jan (here). but after reboot, it went to a bootloop.
For now, I have reflashed the original sfbs in the first link and restored to stock.
Now, can anyone detail me the steps from installing the 2nd-init to geting the CM7.2 live on my phone please..
PS: I don't mind buying a beer or two for the help
Try flashing cm72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip by Quarx. Just root your phone again, install 2nd-init 2.0, chose LATEST and then flash the above build, without flashing kernels. Remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache before flashing CM7.2 and cache and dalvik after that.
Thanks Auris! I am already rooted now. So below are the steps I should take: ?
1. Install 2nd-init. Choose latest.
2. Reboot, it will go to 2nd-init menu.
3. Choose recovery--custom recovery
4. Wipe data, cache & dalvik cache
5. Install the Quarx Build you linked
6. Install Gapps
7. Wipe Cache & Dalvik cache
8. Reboot
9. In 2nd-init menu, choose 2nd-init boot
Is that all? Please let me know if I missed anything

Hello everybody, as stated i title, i need a noob-mode step by step guide to install the new superb innatural quarx's '2ndboot-CM10' in my green lense 525 with the latest CM7 nighly in it.
I know most of us are using the phone for everyday use, so most likely is using the "stable" CM7 as well.
I read that cm10 is almost good for everyday use by now, and it's time to upgrade.
Somebody could do me this favour, I promise to thank...
just reboot into recovery and wipe data and chache, if u want wipe battery stats also and it's done. simply install it like all custom roms.
0. Go to recovery
1. Make a Nandroid backup (recommended)
2. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
3. Install non-2ndboot CM10 (MB525 for Defy or MB526 for Defy+ or red lense Defy with Gingerbread kernel)
4. Reboot to stable recovery
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Install latest 2ndboot CM10 build (one build for MB525 and MB526)
7. Install Gapps
8. Wipe cache and dalvik
9. Reboot

hi nasty and thanks for the complete answer.
I read somewhere that the 'old' non 2ndboot cm10 doesn't contains the kernel, it is true or not?
If yes do i need to flash actually only the kernel or the complete 'old' rom?

Why those steps ? They are not necessary !
As already mentioned the steps above me are not necessary and for your question
The kernel is included in the Rom simply choose the latest nightly, BUT sometimes Quarx makes some Kernel Updates for a specific nightly then this is only a Kernel Update but atm there are no Kernel Updates so its not necessary

It is safer to update from a CM10 ROM.

Only 2ndboot ROMs contain custom kernel. You can install 2ndboot CM10 directly, but it is safer to install from CM10 Stable Recovery.
This is my first android phone and therefore cm10.1 is the first ROM I've ever had so I've never updated my ROM before. Goo manager sent me a notification saying that Cm10.1 rc2 is now available but in order to download it do I have to wipe my phone to factory default or can I just install it over my old cm10.1 and keep my apps and stuff?? Thanks

The whole point of the CM updater is that you don't have to wipe anything - not data, not cache. Just start the download, click OK to install when it finishes downloading, and it'll flash itself over your previous installation. The same applies to downgrading to an earlier release - no wipe needed.
Yes, you can keep your apps and system settings. No need to backup and restore - they'll be exactly the way they were before you downloaded the update.
However, if you are migrating to an entirely different ROM (i.e. not the official CM), then yes, you probably need to wipe. Going back and forth between different updates of the same ROM doesn't need wiping though.
You can just flash it normally using CWM. It's called Dirty Flashing. DO clear Cache and Dalvik before flashing

No need to flash Gapps again on CM, unless data is wiped because of the b/u scripts.
The updater script in the ROM also wipes the Dalvik for you.

Actually you don't have to do any of that except flash the rom and reboot. All the rest is automatic.
I reverted to my backup that I made before flashing. Franco kernel didn't work and I had all the crappy apps I uninstalled from cm10.1 like Apollo and stuff .. What's new is rc2 anyways?
updating cm10.1
Hi all
I am currently using cmw6.0.2.3 and rom cm10.1.20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p3100-M3 and would like to switch to using cm10.1 nightly. Reason to switch is because pie control in M3 is not working and I saw in some video that it is working in nightly. May i know how to update usingmanual mode please? And also will it deketenall my installed apps and data?
Thanking you all in advance
People,
1) Nandroid Backup.
2) Dirty Flash, if something doesn't work or it starts to fails, restore nandroid, backup everything (needed) with Titanium backup or similar, wipe everything, flash, restore, win.
