I want to start using CM7 on my O2X, but a bit scared about the nightly's. I want something that is stable and that i can count on.
When do you think CM7 will enter beta? stable? Is it months? Weeks? 6 Months like LG is using to give us gingerbread? hehe.
Nothing to be scared of ;-)
Seriously, I've been using CM7 since build 40, and haven't experienced any serious trouble. No reboots, or loss of sound. Browsing is fast. Actually quite stable!

OK thanks
But can i update from nightly to nightly? And from nightly to beta and so on? Will i loose settings and app settings?
Yes you can, you don't lose anything.

Aslong as you dont wipe, all you need to do is flash over the the previous version of CM7
What about basebands and stuff? Is that included with CM7? Or do i have to patch and upgrade that myself?
You just download the latest build. Open up CWM, wipe your phone, flash the file you downloaded (you will also need the optional google apps addon) and you're good to go. You don't need to think about baseband unless you experience problems with communication.
And when a new build is out, you just flash it with CWM WITHOUT wiping. Every now and then it wouldn't hurt to wipe /system before installing new build though..
if I could, I would do it asp, but I'm having problems rooting my lg optimus 2x
Hmm... I just tried to install CM7 #47.
But after the backup of the current ROM, I just get an "!" as an icon and the phone restarts and im off to stock LG rom again.
What is happening??

Dodgy ROM download. Something that's happened to me a few times. Re download the zip and try again. BTW the latest nightly is very stable.

The problem is in cwm, because your download will be saved to the internal sd-card, but cwm can't read from the internal sd-card. Copy the clockworkmod directory to the root of your external sd-card, and try again.

You can see it, it's in /sdcard.
It's the internal one that's gone walkabout, it's in /mnt/emmc.
Ah thanks
But where are the apps installed from marked (the path)? They are installed in the internal right?
I was restoring some apps from titanium but they didnt show up in the marked again, so i redownloaded them after the restore. Is that ok?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
Most apps will install in /data/app, the few that default to SD are in /sdcard/.android_secure
Did you have the 'market link' option ticked in TB? If not, that will explain the lack of things showing in the Market.
Application data goes to external SD card, and the internal is useless the way it's mounted.

There should be no reason to reinstall stock 2.3.4 (it is installed into a read-only partition, so it can't be changed and is the same as when you got the phone updated to 2.3.4). All you should need to do is do a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. That will take you completely back to stock.
UPDATE
CM7 nightly build is available to download.
Go get it at :

Guys, I need help... I already flashed SK4 (I wiped everything before flashing SK4). Noticed that there's no Market App so I Googled it and found the apk. I installed it but whenever I try to open It just asks for an account then when I press OK, it just goes back to the home screen.
I downloaded the apk 3 times from 3 diferent sources, but it still doesn't work... I even flashed SK4 3 times also, same procedure, still, the Market doesn't work.
I hope u can help me...
I know it sounds weird. But, It is really happening with me. I tried to google but didn't find proper solution. Neither I'm expecting here. But, Any suggestions though?
PS: I already DID restore my nandroid backup.. But, Its the UOT kitchen what I'm doubting. Does anyone know how to see a log before my phone rebooted? It might help.
I experienced this too back then in CM7.2. Do you use link2sd or similar app? If so, try removing them and clean your init.d folder. And then clear dalvik cache.

I have roughly 130 apps installed currently. I used Jusada's ICS Final before my current ROM - CM7.2 by FrozenAce Team. The reason I switch to this ROM is, I had uncertain bootloops in previous ROM. It was really unusual experience for me. I put the phone in my pocket and when I get it out, its in bootloop. Anyway, I'm thinking to switch on "Ace of Spades V2- performance".
What my questions are:
1) Are you using Link2SD? Is it really as effective as S2E?
2) When I run batch to restore all user apps + data from SDcard, Is it really fast in moving apps and creating soft links?

Well, to be honest that would be pointless. I have already restored Nandroid backup which doesn't have this problem. But what I'm concern about is, I restored it 3rd time in last 4 days cause of this problem. Now, sometimes I even hesitate while installing a new app.
By the way, I'm seriously doubting on S2E now. I suspect Dragonoid is right. Does anyone using S2E have similar problem?
I also face this problem sometimes... dont know why!!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using CyanogenMod 7.2 by FAT
Yes, I had this problem with S2E.
I never get Link2SD to work, but it's actually great if you can get it to work, because you can select which app should go to SD and which app in /data. Some app like launcher, social, and instant messaging apps usually performs better in internal memory

This problem started when I partitioned my sd card 8gb class2
So phone started lagging a lot
And reboots on app install and uninstall... I had used s2e
Only solution I came across is buy
A faster SD card or don't partition it
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
This problem is pretty common,
The way i did it:
If you partitioned using desktop remove the partition format the SD so its back to factory Then insert it into the phone so the phone recognizes it again, then after that partition the SD card again.
If you did it through CWM, Then Format the EXT and the sd card, but make sure you have backed it up first.
Hope this helped.

I use the same version 0 file I had used the first time to install it. The firt time I installed I did v0 and then v0.1 and later v0.2 and then v0.4. Then I decided to try Mackay as I really want Jelly Bean, but the stability, battery life and camera on IZS is just great and that's why I wanted to go back.
Anyway, so my phone got stuck in a bootloop and the only way I could recover it was to use smart flash and flash my old v20e, then I did a full wipe and then tried IZS but got same boot loop. I then did the whole process again with smartflash and v20e and tried JellyBam v4 and Mackay version 2.6.3 and they worked fine. So not sure IZS won't work. Mackay is def not the worst rom to be stuck on, in fact if it had a better camera and not the sd card issues of cm10.1 then it would be just as good in my opinion.
So any ideas? Thanks in advance
Sv: Boot loop when I try install IZS
Try to use pre-izs package

As RomWiz said if you use Smartflash anyway use the PRE_IZS_IMAGE (do it like Huexxx explaind in 'case C') and next time you might know why it sometimes is very good to have a nandroid. If you had done that as you still where on IZS before you tryed Mackay you probably could have restored that nandroid much easyer.

Thanks, I will try the PRE IZS image. The funny thing is I did make a nandroid backup before changing to Mackay, but when I tried to restore it, the MD5sum didn't match for some reason. Any idea why that would be?

It can happen if you rename the nandroid. The name is part of the MD5sum and some programs that help you with reorg your backups should change that, but I had it already that they mess up. Or some backups are dammaged anyway. If you make the backup in CWM directly the changes that it's not OK are slimmer as when you make it with the online nandroid backup app, but both happend to me already. I think in some CWM you can turn the MD5 check off.
I tend to make a backup nearly every week, so if one is bad it might not be so bad. I copy the backups every 3-4 weeks to my PC that I can delete the older ones on my SD card and after 3-4 month I delete them on my PC. Hey hey I make more backups on my phone than on my PC. :laugh:
Good idea, I think that is a great plan. Thanks

PACman nightlies are out.Discuss all things PACman here.
anyone tried latest nightly ?
I tried the older one but I lost my root when Install the rom. And battery drain is too high.
Well, I tried it (10/06 release). Seemed like a nice rom, fast and no touch or stability issues. GPS also worked for me which is great, cause my GPS has been rather wonky for the past year or so (possible hardware defect). However, 2 big issues made me go back to Marvel V11:
1. I couldn't get my contacts from SDcard to show up, no matter what. It didnt see them and wouldn't import the vcards, for whatever reason.
2. Neither Superuser nor SuperSU working, which kind of kills the purpose of having a rooted phone, lol.
If you can fix those it'll be a great rom.
