Hello everyone,
I want to know how to update CM7 to latest nightlies without waiting devs to make an update to the ROM.
Im using GingerDX.
Is it just flashing the cm7 zip in CWM? Which file to download from official CM7 site.
Any idea is welcome.
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=shakira
Install only rom, not kernel.
Use one of FXP028 FXP030 or stable CM71 kernel.
Means i download the nightly zip and flash in cwm, thats all?
Why need to flash kernal?
nAa's kernel seemed to be working fine also with CM nightly
i would like to know how too...
Can u explain? I dont want any kernal, i just want CM7 nightlies. Im using stock kernal.

Only those kernals work? Im using stock kernal.
How to install the rom? flash using cwm?
Custom kernels works only with unlock bootloader.
CM7 rom doesn't work on stock kernel. Only on custom kernel.
If your bootloader is unlock, the best kernel for CM7 right now is either nAa's kernel or fxp028/030 as mentioned previously.
But cam is vga only and fm radio doesn't work yet on CM rom.
If you still want to try CM rom, flash kernel i mentioned and install CM update zip in CWM.

Im using stock kernal and im using CM7 rom. In other words, i want to update cm7 like the developer.

Hi, I need help with my Galaxy Note. I just buy secondhand Galaxy Note, it has XXLS2 4.1.1 rom for now. I want flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom on it. My previous phone was HTC HD2, so I'm used to flashing without limitation So, I need your help to tell me if I'm thing good about it. So, firstly I must flash Philz kernel for my phone, to get root and recovery. But for my rom is only version 2.7... is it safe to flash? And next I can just do full wipe, reboot, and flash AOSPA 4.2.1 rom, yes?
You won't be able to flash a aokp rom using philz 2.7 as it will not install and error 7.
-Install Philz and gain root and cwm
-Then place all the required files to flash the rom to storage.
-Then flash a different safe kernel like hydracore or cm kernel.
-Boot into recovery and do wipes and formats and flash. the rom. (while on a different kernel you might not be able to boot into the rom. Just recovery)
And version 2.7 is safe? Why there is no 3.99 version for this rom? But when I finally flash PA rom, I can stay with kernel included in this rom? Or I need to flash cm kernel second time? I'm going to make backup before flashing new rom, but I'm just wondering if I can normally recover this on PA rom or I need to flash stock philz kernel before restoring... So the "diffrent safe" kernel may be "Kernel_CM10.1_20130126_Nightly_CWM.zip", yes? It will work with aosp based pa rom? I'm going to flash 2.99 version...

Yes 2.7 is safe. Just that it cannot install some roms.
Because it's and old kernel.
Yes stay with the kernel included in the rom
Yes PA has a safe kernel and the backup can be restored.
Any kernel like hydracore or cm will do.
Also 2.99 PA might not to that's stable. So.. Your choice. You can use and older version like 2.57 as well
Actually Philz 2.7 is ICS/older JB, and therefore not subject to error 7. Good to wipe and Flash ROMs with. (It's safe too)

I forget to reply, sorry. Thanks! It is all working good, so I have now my Galaxy Note with newest Paranoidandroid rom
I have problem with roms with android jb 4.2.1.
All the people write how excellent is c-rom mix 4.2.1.
I installed this rom but I have a lot of stucks, the battery is not good, its not smooth and fast.
I tried others roms of 4.2.1 (like RemICS) but with all of them I have the same problems.
I do always wipes and format before install.
There is something that I can do that will cause the 4.2.1 roms work better?
Thanks for helpers
If i experience problems with any of my current Rom, i go back to GB via Odin and remove everything on my internal SD card that i do not need.
After that i flash a CM9 Rom to use only as base before finally flashing the JB Rom.
With this method, i always get a clean trouble free installation, resulting in a problem free Rom.
Device: GT-i9000
Rom: JB 4.2.1 Vanilla Rootbox v0.0.2
Gapps +..: JusTunBean Inverted
Kernel: Mackay 0.241

It is what exactly what I did before I installed RemICS JB (this is the rom that I have now on my phone) and I have a lot of lugs and it is not fast and the battery drain is fast.
I have some questions regarding the installation of SlimBean ROMs from Stock ROMs:
Upgrading Slim Bean
Unless we specify otherwise in changelog
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip.
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. I'm from GingerBread. Does this refer to the "[NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Samsung Captivate" from Android Development?
From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. Assuming I'm from JellyBean Stock ROM, do I have to install cm9 or cm10 as well like the one posted above? Before proceeding to these steps?
From Other Custom ROMs:
Wipe data
Format /system
Flash rom
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. Do they still require cm9 or cm10 installed as well? Or no need?
GB > CM10 > Slim
Just follow instructions for each step, nothing special or too complicated.
You can use CM10 stable. Get the files + instructions from http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
For Slim files + instructions go to http://www.slimroms.net/
Yes, Slim requires CM10, can't upgrade GB to Slim directly. There is no Jelly Bean stock ROM for Captivate.
If you already have working Jelly Bean custom ROM, then flash Slim directly, no need to go through CM10 again.
Is your GB rooted and with CWM already?

I suppose you could change out CM10 for a Custom CM10 based rom? That's what I did and it seems to run fine.

Yeah, that works as well. CM10 is just the simpler option as it's more popular/easy to find.
Yes, and CM10 has a stable release, no issues expected with installation.

So I can dirty flash Slim 3.0 over cm10 without the factory reset? Just Dalvik and cache? Not the newest Slim for cm10.1...
I never recommend dirty flashing. If you want to move to Slim, then go for the latest 4.2 version. It has many new and improved features.
Thanks for the reply.
Some follow ups:
1. Is it recommended to use CM10 Stable instead of CM10 Nightlies? Does it matter in installing custom roms?
2. Nope. Not yet rooted and without CWM. How to do those for this phone?
3. Is rooting required before installing custom roms from stock? Are all custom roms already rooted?
1. CM10 has stable version (tested), CM10.1 is still in experimental stage (may contain bugs, including installation process). It is my personal preference to use CM10 stable.
2. You may start from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 or here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YvC_lLbjk06WOttsifG8fD2QUHvC9_rDtZdNrDZKAFc/edit?pli=1, both very good guides.
3. Yes, Root/CWM is required. Yes, custom ROM's are rooted and with CWM. Once you have custom JB ROM installed, switching to another JB based is very easy.

Does this mean if I'm from Gingerbread stock and choosing another custom rom besides SlimBean, there's no need of installing CM10 because they are already "Custom CM10 based rom"? So all I have to do from stock GB, is to flash a kernel with CWM to be able to flash the custom rom zip from sd card?
It is always good to flash any rom which is complete in itself
Slim rom is not as its slimmed
Say it can be captivating, hellybean, any cm10
Then flash slim rom
Wiping data is necessary when switching from one rom to another as every rom contains different features

You ALWAYS gotta follow the FULL ROM instructions posted in their OP.
Coming from GB, you'll have to flash the ROM twice. You'll need their respective Gapps.
There are plenty of guides on this, you need to do some reading if you're not sure of what you're doing.

Well, that's what I did. Was on GB 2.3.5, rooted/cwm with tut in my sig, then from that flashed Captivating X5 with no issues (that may have been hellybean based idk I lose track since sepphi switches bases a decent bit). Currently running SlimBean Build 4.2 with no issues (Captivating X5 -> X6 -> SaltyBean Final -> SlimBean 3 - > SlimBean 4 - > SlimBean 4.2 (my cappys life in the past few weeks).

What do you mean by flashing the ROM twice? Please explain. I didn't understand that part.
And regarding Gapps, if I'm not wrong, most custom roms have it already included?
If ever it's not installed, will flashing the latest Gapps zip be compatible with this device? No compatibility issues?

When coming from something else than JB, you need to repartition, which is what flashing the ROM twice will do; Flash the ROM, get back in recovery and flash it again.
Also, Gapps aren't cooked into JB ROMs. They need to be flashed right after flashing the ROM.

Simply grab the one provided in their OP. If some apps need updating, just do so through the play store.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Gapps for Captivating included in the ROM? If not now, were they prior to X5? Don't remember flashing Gapps when I used to run Captivating.

They could be, I haven't looked at Captivating all too much as I gave my cappy to my little brother before it got released. (I'm actually quite behind on ROM updates for the cappy tbh)
Thanks. I think I could handle it with regards to the Gapps thing.
Lastly, I just wanted to clarify if I'm directly going to a Custom ROM from stock, do I still need to be rooted? Or just CWM installed?
