Help with Cyanogensmod 2.3.5 nightly

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

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.

[Q] About installing CM7 Nightly builds

Hey guys just a quick question about installing nightly builds on the nook. When Rom Manager asks whether to wipe data/cache and what not, if I select it, will it wipe the internal memory completely? leaving no user files behind? or will it only wipe the system files?

It will wipe everything and it will be a fresh install.

If you update, just wipe cache

It wipes the /data partition but doesn't wipe /sdcard /sd-ext or /met/emmc.

Note: wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache are 2 different things.
+ wipe cache is a quick way to clean the current running ROM
+ wipe Dalvik is a completely clean.
After wipe Dalvik, next time it boots, it will take a lot longer time due to the device has to re-compile the whole thing before ROM start running and booting.

I think I need to drop a few lines about wipe cache/Dalvik.
As I posted above, I said it wiped clean.
Apparently, I am NOT 100% correct.
I just updated to nb198, wiped cache (formatting /cache) then wipe Dalvik cache.
After done updating ROM, booting up, I expected everything clean, completely fresh.
It's not the case, I went to Market and all old search history were still shown. Not only with Market but other apps too.
So
a. either wipe cache/Dalvik is NOT completely clean wipe or
b. it was completely clean but somehow, those old cache info, which stored somewhere I don't know, get automatically restored back.

Okay, I did a quick read of the FAQ for CWR, and came across these:
Wipe cache partition
Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.
So, I'm taking this guide on board and will wiping Cache AND Davlik. So that's two steps prior to installing a new CM7 nightly build.

You didn't happen to store them in uSD card? Or perhaps app data/cache are separate from system data/cache...
Will look into it further...

ok thanks Vabs.
More replies about settings?

OK, here's the process:
0: Boot to CWM Recovery
1: Wipe cache
2: Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
3: Flash 7.2
4: Reboot
If it doesn't boot, just pull out the battery and go to factory reset. (That obviously wipes everything, but is still better than going back to stock )

So you saying only if it dosen't boot i should wipe everything by choosing factory reset, but if i was "lucky" and the phone boot i stay with all my apps and settings?
By the way, what cache and dalvik cache exactly are?

Cache is the place for apps to store all their temporary data files, dalvik is explained here: Linky!

if you go in to recovery and go to mounts and storage, format the /sdcard

[Q] [Solved] Data not being formatted!

Hi,
I have installed Ultra Gb revolutionary 1.6 Rom and have been using it for a while. I wanted to remove all content on phone..so i tried to wipe data and reinstall the rom again. Rom flashed correctly and i rebooted the phone..but user apps were not removed, they are still on the phone.
I tried changing kernel, flash another rom, flashed utra gb again, the apps are still there, why?

You can try to conenct your sdcard to your PC and delete .android_secure, it contains sd apps that don't get deleted with /data
If it doesn't work you can use Wipe data option in settings :good:

Well, that may be a kernel issue! Try to install stock kernel/ROM via odin and get it all clean!

I think that's not the kernel, he said he tried to change it, i think he haves a problem because /data is not mounted,
OP use CWM and mount /data, then do wipe data & cache

While selecting Factory reset on cwm, data & cache are automatically mounted and both data, cache and .andtoid_secure is wiped! I'm jst sharing my experience, it happened with me few times while using percy_g2 kernel! The best option for me was odin!

In CWM in general partition is mounted when wiped, I think switching kernel and try again
Flash another CM kernel and wipe data then return to your kernel, or do a factory reset from setting in phone

Try to use odin. Your userdata.img may be Corrupted
Press Thanks if Helped

Well a simple solution to the problem :
1.Go to CWM,mount all the partitions and flash percy's kernel (CyanogenMod #2)
2.Go back and then go to advanced > reboot recovery
3.Now you'll be in Percy's recovery and from there,under mounts and storage,format data and format cache.
4.Go back and then go to mounts and storage and mount all the partitions.
5.Flash back to bieltv.3's kernel and reboot.

Finally, i had to flash flash stock Rom via Odin and go back to ultra gb.. Thanks for all the help guys
