I need help please. My phone is not in a good place.
Here's my current state:
AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] installed
Home Button doesn't work
Phone Button doesn't work
No Market app installed so can't download anything
Browser works
Incoming calls don't work
Outgoing calls do work
Lock screen doesn't show up
Probably many more issues with things I haven't tested
Here's how I got there:
1) Installed AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] with Firerat's Mod
2) Everything seemingly worked well. Was prompted by Market to install all of the google apps
3) The apps from Marketplace didn't install. I ended up finding the "fix the Market" link on the Wiki and that solved the problem
4) Installed the core apps but some wouldn't install - like Voice Search - failing with an Insufficient Space error I believe
5) Started revisiting the parameters for the Firerat mod (mtdpartmap.txt) and reflashing the FR-boot
6) Didn't solve problem so decided to flash/wipe/reinstall AOSP 2.3.2 again
7) Got me to the state I'm in now. I tried 3 more times, still this is happening.
Going to try now with the 20110210 build and see if that's better. I see there's a fix for the lock screen so maybe it's related. Meanwhile, has anyone seen these symptoms before?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that, but I would recommend you to follow the steps from here: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM. Try doing it without Firerat's MOD. Perform step # 2 - 2 to 3 times, before you flash the ROM.
Try and report back. Hope it helps.
SOLVED
2/10/2011 update solves this problem!
When you flash a different Ron, you need to go through the whole from process starting with fr- recovery after wiping/formatting everything. I have had troubles with 2/10. Maybe bad download. I get a weird keyboard error and it wants to send Google a report and can't get by that to start signing in.
I flashed on top of 2/6 yesterday, but still had VVM problems. I finally got that sorted out with 2nd method in GB wiki and started new TB folder.

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with Supernova?
After installing 2.0.6 I could not receive calls. I flashed back to Stock and re-flashed ROM. Everything worked fine except the battery. It would drop down to 98% after disconnecting from charger. I decided to try to 2.1. Every time i would install it would say error or bad. I redownloaded it twice and even went to stock. Still said the same thing. No idea what went wrong?
So i went back to 2.0.6 and now my gmail force closes when hitting the menu button. I tried to install it from market and it says unsuccessful.
Any solutions? Is there a similar ROM with the 5 screen lock?
battery drops to 98% is a known issue for any rom on 2.2.1.
supernova needs sometime to be mature ...
Did you unzip the supernova and try to add/remove any apks to it? That's the only time I've ever run into errors when flashing.
2.1 should have fixes for your gmail woes...
What is the exact error you are getting when you try to flash 2.1?

I can't remember exactly what it says, it starts to install then says aborted, error installing the supernova_2.1.zip <and under this says (bad) the rest i cannot remember.
Open the zip and rezip it it sounds like a bad DL or just go and grab the 2.3 JS5 and give it a go.

Did you install the 1.2 uBoot too?
What about the OC kernel? is it the 5/13 for 2.6.32 ?

Im not sure what the uboot is if im honest. the oc kernal is 5/13 2.6.32
i was unable to get into it before i installed the oc kernal so i don't think that is the problem.
anyone? still unable to get it working.
I've been having the exact same problem. After clicking on CyanogenMod Settings, I get the error "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I have tried three different CM7 nightlies (78,75,73) and all give the same error. No OC kernel, no uBoot.
looks like i've borked my system trying to fix this. I went into rom manager and chose to fix permissions. This has resulted in me getting fc on everything i do almost. I think best bet is to start from scratch. is there a guide on how to wipe everything & backup? Before i always installed over the top & i feel this is what could be causing the problem.
yeah, im no dev but it sound like it would be best to start over, and yes, you really should wipe cache before flashing. i hope this helps.
cm wiki, would be a good place to start.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
I get this as well. I finally got the 85 nightly working and this is the only force close that I get now. When I started, I tried nightly 87 and also loaded update-cm7-dalingrin-2.6.32-emmc-051311.zip. I have cleaned everything up and started fresh. Is it possible that kernel is still installed and I have to reinstall the .zip? I did not install the ALSA update as suggested as the link was dead.
Same issue on nightly 97. No uboot or kernel stuff, not even sure what that stuff is lol. I did run the wipe before flashing, but maybe that failed somehow? What does the CM settings allow you to do anyway?
Themes? PhireMod? You guys have something in common you need to figure out.
Did everyone use the instructions for flashing from the nook color portal (like me) or from the cm websites wiki which talks about the kernel and u boot?
Bump? Anyone else on how they installed?
I installed using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227. No issues.
This thread is for the support of CM9 ICS release by CyanogenMod
This is NOT an official CyanogenMod thread, and isn't officially supported by CyanogenMod or Teamhacksung.
This thread is designed to help keep the dev thread clean and clear for the dev's to do their magic. So please feel free to ask any questions about the ROM, but flaming will not give great results and will be reported
The main CyanogenMod CM9 ROM thread is HERE
The Nightlies can be found here
GAAPS can be found here
Look for 'gaaps-ics-********-signed.zip'
Modems for ICS:

Modem Coverage Map:
http://soggycashew.weebly.com/modem-location-map.html
ONLY USE THE MODEMS MADE FOR CM7/Miui/ICS.
Give the ROM thread and this one a good read before you post, you may find the answer is already available. Keep in mind that each device may behave slightly different, so YMMV
People have found different ways to successfully install, and it works for them, but their method may not work for everyone. So it is highly suggested to follow the method recommended by the developers.
This is copied directly from the dev OP:
"-First time flashing ICS to your Captivate (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
2. Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
3. Do a Nandroid backup!
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
6. Optionally install the Google Addon
7. WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work
-Upgrading from CM7?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
3. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
4. Optionally install the Google Addon
-Upgrading from another CM9 (or teamhacksung) Build?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Optionally install the Google Addon
Note: The upgrade process from CM7 to ICS is automatic, but downgrading from ICS to CM7 (or restoring Nandroid) requires flashing twice. Once from ICS and again from CM7's recovery."
FAQ
The FAQ is available on Teamhacksung's Wiki. Please read before asking any questions and please feel free to edit it.

Reporting Bugs
You are allowed to report bugs ONLY in the Development thread. Before reporting a bug, please make sure you are running as stock as possible. This means no custom kernel, no custom framework modification, etc. If you are using any of the above modifications, please flash the rom again to get rid of the modifications before reporting.
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred.
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. The following is a useful format to follow.
Thanks to the entire CyanogenMod Team for creating their magic for our aging Captivates!
I just registered so I can't post in the development thread... I hope this is the next best place...
I flashed build 3 of the ICS ROM and the DNS, at least for wifi, seems hardcoded to 8.8.8.8. I changed it to my local DNS ('su', 'setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1'), checked that I could ping a local name, turned wifi off and on again, and it had gone back to 8.8.8.8. I'm new to Android so I don't know whether there's a way to set it harder, but I had expected that it would get the DNS servers from DHCP... that is definitely what stock Gingerbread and CM7 both did.
Hopefully some kind person will pass this message on to the developers... I am not sure whether this is the wifi DNS update issue listed in the Known Issues on the dev thread but if so maybe that should be marked confirmed
What should i do before flashing this rom? I'm currently with gal net miui. I assume that's cm7? So should i just flash after wipe? Or go back to stock first?
Sent from my I897 using XDA App
it states to wipe data and cache, then install from miui or CM7, no need to return to stock. Some run it better than others, mines running just fine with their release 3
Facebook Widget
Anyone having issues with the facebook widget?
Can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Uninstall the app and reinstall from the market.
Glitch kernel let me OC to 1.4!
Thanks flashman that worked.
Dunno if anyone else has this issue but both mornings since flashing, I've woken up to an unresponsive touchscreen. clicking the hard button brings up the lock screen and everything looks right but it's just unresponsive to touch. I've had to fiddle with the hard buttons to be able to use the touchscreen again.
When finding things wrong with this build, you do have to realize that it's not even a beta yet, and things are gonna be slow/broken/or not integrated yet. I'm sure the devs will add all this stuff once the basic framework is solid. And like someone else stated, the best way is to go from CM7. It's very easy. I can even flash back and forth no hassle

Is there a zoom on this camera?

after updating (after clearing the phone again) to build 5, i get more errors than with build 3. Gonna go back and try it again.
Two issues in build 5, calendar issues, no sync. Tried custom apk's, no luck with that. Reflashed gappsv5 still no good. Was working on build3 with gapps v4.1. Also anyone able to get their facebook account to sync. Try adding facebook account and just nothing...

Having market download issues, even with free apps it just hangs on the downloading line. Wipe cache and reflashed GAPPS v.5 and it still is having issues. I was able to download World of Goo last night but nothing good this AM. Any other suggestions that may work?
I am also was having market issues. What helped me was making them download to phone from the market website. It helped a bit. And yes, the Facebook sync seems broken

I had the same calendar sync problem. Did a wipe, flashed build 5, immediately flashed Gapps v5.1 before rebooting, and that fixed it for me.
any specific kernel? where do I pick up just the kernal? just moved from cm7 nightly b181

FB sync doesn't work on ICS at all so I wouldn't expect a quick fix. I downloaded the friendcaster app and used that to sync with my contacts.

You don't need to flash a kernel for this. At least it's a very bad idea in this stage of development. But if you need it for some other purpose, it's in the OP of the ICS thread
I'm new to non-stock roms and on a steep learning curve.
I've just installed CM 7.2 (I guess the "official version" - the one from the ClockworkMod website). I'm mostly very happy with it, but keep running into problems with permissions.
If I try almost any command using either the terminal emulator or adb, I get "permission denied" even after su-ing and/or adb root.
Even the most basic command "ls", returns "permission denied".
This problem also seems to be affecting the system a bit. For example, I can't get ClockSync to work - it shows the error message: "Failed to change /dev/alarm permissions, please check that chmod works."
So two questions:
Is this normal for CM 7.2, or is there something wrong with my system?
If it is normal, I notice that there is another version (Mebitek), does that have the same restrictions?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Go for mebitek's version...

Thanks yackovsky.
I've just read the last few pages of the mebitek thread and I noticed that several people were complaining about battery life in the latest version.
Would you recommend the latest, or going back to 1.0, or even 0.7 as some others have done?

well, if latest version have bad battery backup (i didn't test latest one, but was using it for a while) go for previous one, or try finding kittenlinux build in dev section, i was very happy with it, and it doesn't have options unsupported by mini's hardware like automatic backlight
Just in case anyone else has similar problems and ends up here, it turns out my permission problems were not caused by the official CM7.2 rom.
I did install the mebitek version as suggested by yackovsky, and indeed, when I checked on the terminal emulator, permissions were back to normal.
But this got me thinking, so I did a fresh install of the official rom, and permissions were also back to normal.
So I must have done something to mess up my system
Unfortunately, because of the permission problems, I couldn't do a titanium backup, so I'm having to start from scratch with apps.
Anyway, thanks again to yackovsky; I think I'll stay with mebitek now, it does seem a little snappier.
