CM7 vs CM9 kernel

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.

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.

Thanks for the correction, but I've just came back to CM7 by restoring my old nandroid, without wipe and worked well.

camera doesn't work.and some small bugs

[Q]": DEFY+ BL7 Rooted .. now what for CM7.2

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

Auris.. you have a paypal id?

[Q] Soft bricked the phone!

Hi guys,
I was running on CM10 11.18. However, wanted to switch back to CM7.2. Phone is now unable to boot up.
This is what I did.
1. Wiped Cache and data in stock recovery.
2. Wiped Cache, dalvik, data in custom recovery.
3. Installed CM7.2 and gapps
When I tried booting it up, the phone was on bootloops.
Then I picked my SEA sbf and flashed it using RDS Lite. However, problem persists. . Can anybody guide me through. I am without a phone now. Help!

You'll have to convert data to ext3.
Install cm10, in boot menu select tools then filesystem tools then convert to ext3

Have you tried to wipe data in stock recovery again? (volume down + power on)
If bootloops persist try to flash your sbf again, after flashing go to stock recovery immediately and wipe data again.

CM10.1 RC2 update question

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

So what do I do just download the ROM and its gapps again and flash them both? Which one first?

Wipe Cache and Dalvik -> Flash ROM -> Flash GApps -> Reboot.
And don't forget custom kernels

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.

everything I try goes to bootloop or blank screen

Hi All, I can flash a rom using RSD lite and then root using super one Click, then install 2nd init. I can access the custom recovery to install new roms. I do a factory reset/wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then install a rom. After install, I do a second wipe then reboot. Everything I try goes to a bootloop or does not work. When I am in a newer recovery, I wipe the /system folder too before installing a rom. and still no dice.
Any Ideas.

Use defy full wiper or aroma wiper to wipe everything and then flash. Then immediately reboot after flashing, no wipes required.

I tried the aroma wiper but still does not boot properly Thanks for the link though, I will try to use it more and see what if I can get something to stick.

Don't wipe after installing the ROM.
