Newbie guide for flashing Verizon Tab to CM7? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Never flashed before but I am rooted.
Is there a guide for installing CM7? I didn't see one (for CDMA).
Thanks!!

As far as I know, CM7 isn't available yet for CDMA tabs.

a) Wrong sub-forum
b) There is no CDMA version
c) Flashing CM7 even onto the GSM is NOT for newbies, stick with the Jxx series until there's a proper port.

Thanks. I'll search for them.
What the heck is that ROM manager good for then? I figured it would make everything stupid easy.

It's good on devices that are supported by Koush, nothing more. Now let the thread die (given that I'm sure you have more questions about ROM manager, you are welcome to PM me, or open a thread in Q&A/general)

Just a random question. Im a newbie on the gtab. How do i do a nandroid backup on the gtab

You want the Q&A forum, not Development.
Wait for the official OTA update if you're unable to use Google and/or search (or look at the obvious topic headings) to find these.

Sorry, in order for you to install froyo, you need to update your radio and install a custom recovery. This all requires your n1 to be rooted.

[Q] Installing themes on the Captivate

If this has been asked more than once, I apologize!
I got this phone couple days ago and I stumbled upon this forum to notice many different themes. I was wondering how you change it from the original Captivate theme to the themes the makers made here. Thanks
Are you rooted? Do you have a certain rom? Because you cant get a theme from developers until your rooted and have a Rom that the theme is for?

Here's an easy way to see if your rooted, go into your apps and see if you have an app called superuser. If you do, then you are rooted but if not then you are not. As for the rom I'm not sure as to what rom you have I'm not sure.

Read this guide over, it will explain how to install a custom rom, which is basically ( in very simplified terms) just a new very advanced theme that replaces the old stock one that comes with the phone. That link can tell you everything you need to know. Just be REALLY careful! the first time I tried to install a new rom my phone got messed up and i couldn't use it for three days. But anyways, have fun and welcome to the site!

I suggest Phoenix as your ROM. Its very simple to use and has good speed and good battery life. It's the first rom I had .
Here's the link http://www.phoenix-hq.com/ to the site with the downloads from everything from the Rom to Themes for the Rom to wallpapers.

Also afaik the current release does not have the orientation fix

I get your joke lol anyway it will run on the Captivate but without any changes to the Kernel it has some wrong settings like orientation and stuff. Also in general it's quite buggy and does not have all features working. The Devs working on it have made GREAT Progress but they only released this "test build" because someone built it from their source and released it before it was meant to be released.

To answer your question it does work. Turn auto rotate off unless you want everything in landscape, use the speaker to listen to the phone, and set the notification ring tones to come through the speaker-just like with any other other I9000 rom whose kernel has not been reoriented for the Captivate. You also may need an external SD card for applications to function. On earlier versions this was a necessity but it may be different on the newer builds. You previously could not save anything to the internal SD card.
I installed it and got everything working using the JK4 modem, but I'm just using the stock kernel right now so Home and Search buttons don't work. Anyone who's reoriented the cm7 kernel mind posting it or pming me a link? Thanks.
I reoriented a kernel but I haven't compiled it yet. #cm7oncappy on freenide for more info

New nook color. Have some questions

Love it so far. Few questions:
1) Whats the best rom for it so far?
2) Once its rooted can you use the kindle app on it?
3) I currently have a few megazine subscriptions set to it. Once its rooted will I still be able to access them using the Nook app? Thanks!

1) CyanogenMod 7, IMO, is the best for any number of reasons. Read the the threads on this board for more info.
2)Yes
3)The nook app in the market can now read magazines. I've read NatGeo and it works great.
Also whats the best kernel for the nook?

Kernels are Rom specific. Find a rom you want to use, read the entire thread regarding said rom, and pick you kernel after that. For example....CM7 nightlies, stables, and Phiremod all use a .29 kernel. CM7.1 Beta 3 uses a .32 kernel, and the stock Barnes & Noble Firmware has it's own kernels with their own thread in the dev. section. Make sure to read any applicable threads, so you don't have to start a new thread about how you broke your Nook LOL.

Wind Mobile One Rom questions

I've been in the rom flashing world for a while now..but I just recently purchased the HTC ONE.
Going into uni and kinda dont have as much time to mess around as I did.
So can anyone give me a clear answer to as whether the WIND Mobile HTC ONE can flash the roms in the development section? Would I have to change radios or anything after ROM Flash to make my Wind 3G work?(Unlimited data...dont wanna waste that).
To be more specific..i'm just interested in the VIPER and the 4.3 AOSP roms.
Also, would I be able to flash kernels?
My biggest worry is whether I can flash these roms and kernels, and whether I would loose my phone's phone abilities afterwards.
Sorry for the dumb questions..hopefully someone can answer these. thks

I want to know this as well. I found a post but the answer wasn't that great. I used the t-mobile Roms on my Wind Note 2HTC one as used other gsm Roma on it as well. So I'm guessing it T-Mobile roms work on the htc as well. But that forum seems dead and there are not any forums dedicated to unbricking the Wind HTC one so that's why I'm just waiting for a confirm.
P.s do you know where to download the HTC One wind radio from?

I've tried Viper, Android Revolution (Sense / GPe), and CM 10.2 (AOSP 4.3). They all work on the Wind version of the HTC One (which is exactly the same version as the T-Mobile variant except with a different CID).

The Wind variant came out less than a month ago. It isn't avaliable to download as of today. Maybe check back in a few weeks-months.

In case you're TL;DR you can flash any UL Rom (except Sprint).
