Nightly builds for the Thrill (P925) has stopped, P920 builds will work on Thrill P925.
Builds can be found here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p920
Changelog can be found here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p920
There should be NO problems at all to upgrade from the latest SelfKang to the lastest Nightly Build.
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Create a nandroid backup in CWM.
* Install the latest Nightly.
* Reboot.
If you're currently using a stock rom or a custom rom that is not based on CM then you must make a factory reset/format data in CWM after installing the latest nightly.
Else you'll get stuck in a bootloop.
NOTICE:
* Please note that this rom will replace your old one if you have a stock rom (Froyo or Gingerbread).
Everything on your current rom will be useless, so backup everything!
If you're currently using Froyo, then you need to flash the latest Baseband;
Use the "LG Updater tool" to update to the latest Stock version so you'll get the latest Baseband, re-root your phone and download Rom Manager from the market.
Install CWM, do a Nandroid backup and install the latest nightly build of CM7.
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T USE CM:
If you're using the 3D functions of your phone as well as the HDMI then you shouldn't change to CM at the moment.
3D and HDMI is broken.
And yes, these releases are newer than the SelfKang4.
This is Not my mod and try asking in this thread before posting me a PM, you'll get a faster reply here.
I've never understood Nightly builds.
What's most of the difference you'll see?

this may be a full ROM... right?
i used to use CM7 in my SE X10 Mini Pro, and i loved it...
but here on thrill one... what r the limits? does it has 3D??? Radio??? GPS??? Wifi??? it's all working?
i tried to read changelog, but as i am not a developer i cant understand clearly 80% of the info... can u tell what it's not working?
one more question is... is it running GB 2.3.7???? dn't i need to change baseband to GB one???? i have stock froyo rom from LG...

I think 3D and HDMI aren't working. Radio, GPS, and wifi were all working before the nightly. I can confirm that wifi is working great. I haven't used GPS so not sure how well it works or not.
It is running 2.3.7 . No you don't need to do anything with the baseband.
The only complaint I have is that the person i call using this rom hears a really bad echo

Also should cell standby be taking 72% of battery? Been barely using for hr and a half and already down to 70% seems to drain faster on standby than when I'm on it.

How about make it mount internal and external SD card?
Is there a way to get headset recognition as well? I pressed mine a couple time while playing music, wouldn't pause or skip tracks like normal CM7 would. I've had atleast 2 reboots now but everything else seems great
Alright, time to start building some nightlies.........Ill be on my own in a few weeks....
Yup, but we need something other than this trashy 'CyanogenMod'.
I personally hate CM in general, it's not n00b friendly and it just looks plain dumb.
But if anyone could rocket a GB ROM without having to install a GB break, then count me in.
I hope to see a Froyo ROM soon.
Love you guys but the Thrill is trash and the mods here suck.

Eh, I agree to a certain extent. However, I wouldn't count noobs as those rooting, flashing ROMs, etc etc. So if they can't be bothered to google some CM info, welll, then...
As far as dumb, most of the time, our phones look dumb out of the box. The CM ROM is just as customizable as any other ROM. I got rid of the skateboard alien ASAP. What is kinda cool is the theme chooser so that you make a bunch of the stuff like battery stat, various widgets, dialer, etc all look different in one click.
I think most of us are just kinda waiting until the new cool phones come out in 2012 and move on.
are there any kernels for this with OC? im coming from foryo and my benchmark would hit up to 3300. now i cant even reach 3k.
uhhhh I flash this rom... and when tried to go back on stock froyo. It stays stuck on LG logo... I did a backup .... flash other roms before and was able to return to stock rooted. It only works with this rom and two others roms" thriller and doomded ... what did I do wrong? I miss my 3D functions ;(

I think a lot of people are having the issue with the call echo. Seems to be a problem with the ambient/noise cancellation microphone. Not a big deal if you turn down the call volume.
I am having other issues with the first nightly; can't select items in the notification bar, misaligned keyboard, etc. so will be sticking with SK4 for the time being. That being said, however; it is nice that the Thrill is getting a little love. I'll still be checking the dailies and looking out for a stable build.

Not a kernel, but you can use the same script like before, Check Tekahuna's post, you can get the files for CM there aswell.

If you want to go back to froyo, use the LG updater tool to go back to stock, there is a few threads that describes how. After that, you can just root your device and go back to the old backup.
thank you very much.... I will do just that

Had the weirdest bug ever on the 2nd nightly last night. I was at the mall playing cards when my phone suddenly made this alarm-esque noise. No matter what I did, i couldn't get it to stop. I had to restart my phone which finally put an end to it. Hopefully i don't experience that again lol.
Nightly 2 still has the echo thing going on. I'll try the new ones as they come out.
I have a question : Before on froyo, my SD had a partition that i could put various things into. After flashing CM7, this partition seems to be invisible from my phone (root explorer). For some reason, my computer at home cannot access this partition, but my computer at work can. I have filled my internal sd card from restoring apps. How can I access this partition, or repartition so the internal SD has more space?
Any help with this would be appreciated.

I completely know what you mean by SD card.
If you goto CM7 settings> Application, there should be an option named "Use internal storage". If you check that box and reboot, it just flip flops the SD cards. You can access the other, but can't the other. Kinda annoying, wish I had a 32GB MicroSD right about now
i tried going back to froyo from this and it was stuck on LG too. i had many backups. i was able to go back to froyo by flashing doomed again. idk what it is about that one but it took it back to froyo just fine. and from there you can flash ur recovery and ull b fine
I had the crazy-alarm-type bug happen again just now. I believe it was caused by a notification sound that is supposed to play, but instead, starts clipping at an alarming rate at full volume. I tried just about everything you can think of to stop this cacophonous noise, but had to ultimately shut down the phone.
As far as the "SD thing", I did find out that the other portion of the card is actually listed under "mnt" and then "emmc" for anyone that was wondering. I can access this from the phone as well.
So far the nightly builds are great, thanks for the hard work!

Figured I'd make a thread, so its easier to follow and find this thing.
All bug reports and the majority of development for cyanogenmod 6 on the incredible on xda should remain in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722478
In fact, there really should be no reason to post anything here, but i know it will happen anyway...so lets try to keep it on topic and not let this thing run wild like so many other threads have been doing.
CREDITS
Before getting started, one thing needs to be clear. I did not do anything here other than smash together some things that other people did. No thanks is necessary to me, i did not code, nor compile anything.
Instead thank (in no particular order):
-koush, and cyanogenmod team for the rom
-koush, ejhart/hydra, rmk40 for the kernel with wifi bug fix. Get the here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7546856 (it should also be noted, that this may not be totally fixed, for now live without wifi or with an occasional lock up. when we get a .32 kernel this should be fixed)
-CaptainTaco for finding where to put the /emmc mount command
-Xevin for the cyanogenmod boot animation
-unrevoked for making this all possible on this, as well as several other phones
-and probably several others that i forgot or didnt know about
This is a straight cyanogenmod rom, with a couple modifications.
-rmk40 posted a kernel that fixes a bug that makes the phone lock up when resuming from 'sleep' mode. currently the kernel is v2 and included in this rom
-set /emmc to mount on boot. this does not mean that everything can see it (gallery, and music and such cannot) but it is accessible with astro, adb, etc.
-Xevin's boot animation from: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1985-custom-cyanogenmod-boot-animation/ this is now included by default
It should also be noted that eventually, i believe, this 'mash-up' will be obsolete. Once the rom is complete for the incredible, these sorts of features will most likely be included in the original rom. (maybe not the boot animation, but we'll see).
Basically what I am getting at is that you should check the linked thread at the top of this post, as well as stickies and popular threads in this sub-forum before using this rom. I will do my best to keep it updated if it needs to be done.
I also recommend doing a nandroid and a wipe (WIPE INSIDE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY, NOT FROM ROM MANAGER!) before trying to flash any of these.
You do not need to update your radio for this rom, but it wont hurt if you do/did.

Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
built in wireless tether probably wont work, it should work with the app though, "wireless tether for root users"
also, gps for me kinda works, but its a really big circle and im not really close to the center
i may be wrong, but i think these issues will subside once there is a .32 kernel to build for cyanogenmod
currently, since htc has not officially released froyo for the incredible, we do not have the source code for the .32 incredible kernel
once the officially release froyo, it will probably be a few weeks/months before the source is available
I just rooted my Dinc for the first time using the unrEVOked tool. What do I need to start install to put this ROM on my phone? Also what are the steps to installing the ROMs? Sorry I'm still super new to Android. I understand adb push and all of that to get a custom bootloader.

Hello
I currently have a nexus one flashed with CM 6 RC2. I would like to get the new korean radio and flash with the new CM RC3 rom or with LimeMOD R4. I am not sure which one is better I am quite new to this. I would like to have the 720p video function and would like to not have ADW launcher built in. Could you please tell me which one to get. Also if there is any way to be able to change the trackball color for incoming calls i would like to know how to do that.
Thanks
I am new to this could you please give me a step by step explanation on how to flash the new firmware, google apps and radio.
Thanks
To make things easy and since you're already running CM6 RC2, I would open up ROM Manager and simply download CM6 RC3. CM6 RC3 comes with 720p and is much easier to do rather than flash a new radio and then flash CM6 or the other ROM that you stated.
If you don't have ROM Manager, go install it from the Market. Click Download ROM>CyanogenMod>CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC3
Simple as that =).

To be completely honest, I get amazing speeds with RC3 and WildMonks Kernel, so for me to flash a radio isn't necessary. A lot of the speeds posted about the Korean radio are from domains that aren't completely accurate, so make sure you do your research first.
There is no doubt an increase in speed, but like I said, RC3 with WildMonks Kernel gives me phenomenal amount of speed.
Okay that sounds good. Does the kernel come with RC3 or is that something seperate? I am not really sure what the kernel is..
The kernel that comes with RC3 is good enough. I shot 720p @22 FPS and when I flashed WildMonks Kernel, I shot 720p @24 FPS.
I see what your saying. I was wondering if there is an ADW launcher in the RC3 and if there is a way to change the color of the trackball for incoming calls.
Yes ADW Launcher comes stock with it and yes there are trackball color notifications for your dialer.
So where do i change those notifications? Also currently when using RC2 I am having some issues with Launcher Pro and I do prefer that over the ADW Launcher. SOmetimes when I open the app drawer it gets glitchy and some of the app dont show up. Also a lot of the time launcher pro has to do a force close. Do you know if that it fixed in the RC3?
I use Launcher Pro and I haven't had any issues with lag or FC's with RC3. For the LED notifications you simply go to Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>User Interface>LED Notifications> Dialer .
Update to RC3. It's a big improvement from RC2 and plus, you get 720p
and RC3 doesn't include a radio it keeps your existing, so if you want to flash the korean radio, there shouldn't be any problems (im using it on mine as we speak)

Make sure you do a nandroid backup first... that is very important!!
This is how I did it...
1. Downloaded the radio update from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723839
2. Copied the update to the root of my SD card
3. Rebooted phone and help the power button and the VOL down button to enter the fastboot/recovery mode
4. Use the VOL down key to select "recovery"
5. Phone reboots into recovery mode (I am using Amon Ra's 1.7.0.1)
6. I selected the option "flash .zip from SDcard"
7. It gave me a selection of the .zip files I had on the root on the SD
8. I selected the file that I downloaded in step 1
9. I applied the update and then the phone rebooted
10. Phone came back in recovery mode (I believe it wiped the cache)
11. Once the cache was wiped (it was automatic) I just rebooted the phone and started using like normal
Let me know if you want some screenshots or if I didn't explain something right. That is pretty much exactly what I did... step by step. Hope that helps.

Its a problem with Cyanogen and the launcher rotations, go into the launcher settings and disable auto rotation and all the FC's go away.Im not sure if this was fixed in RC3, but that was the problem in Rc2
Thank you very much! I will try this out and let you know. Also would it be better to do this before or after i install RC3? Or does it not matter.

yes, the radio is something totally separate from the rom, which is why it is so important not to mess up a radio update, you can brick your phone if a radio update goes south, not even a nandroid can fix that. But yup your radio is stuck at 5.08 until you flash over it with a newer/older radio image.
Thank you very much! It its all done now

Hi Guys,
I am a Galaxy S user. My Galaxy S was bought in Finland and still running (basically stuck with) Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU). The phone's hardware is just fine (except slow GPS) but it has become paninfully slow and sometime shutting down/restarting on it's own.
Is it a good idea to reset the existing GingerBread 2.3.6 or get a different ROM?
I am a total novice and have not tried any other ROMs on it. I did some research about the alternative ROMs but there are so many options it made me really confused.
Could you guys suggest any stable and fast option for my Galaxy S i9000?
Also, if you could guide how I could migrate to that particular ROM from present Gingerbread, it would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for your support and for this great forum.

Could anyone please help?
Hi,I'm not going to be much help as I'm a noob myself but I can say I had same stock laggy gt 19000 which through like u said a lot of confusion about rooting and ROMs researching XDA and YouTube you can do it my galaxy s is like a new phone so stick with it,one tip is always stick to you model and kernel version and write things down and I hope it goes as well as it did for me. Btw I used Odin 3.1 and clockwork to root and Flashed ROM with Cm 10.1 stable.

if you want to stay to 2.3.6 you can just factory reset your phone
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.

Thank you mistrp74 and The Tox for the help.
I am still a bit confused, I cant seem to locate the right cf-root [Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU)] from the thread you mentioned.
One more thing, how is your experience of running the Custom Roms, is it much better than the Samsung Firmware? Does all the function work fine?
I will need a bit of spoon feeding in the beginning for the update... as I have never tried it before and I am scared of bricking my phone.
So, please don't give up on me

The right CF-Root is in the seond to last post on the first page I believe- if you can fnd the one for XXJW4, the one you need is right above it
Custom ICS/JB roms are definitely smoother in many ways, although bear in mind because stock Jelly Bean don't include them, both FM Radio and 3G video calling won't work by default (two features of stock roms, I guess AllShare is another if you use it like me). Otherwise every other function is stable and rock solid. Except for the CM10.2 builds, which are still in an initial stage, the JB roms here should have everything working fine.

Thanks a lot guys!
I finally managed to do it.
I installed the CF-Root without any problem but RemICS-UX v1.3.1 (Team Remics) didn't load. It was stuck at the boot screen.
I thought I bricked my phone... but then I installed Ginerbread 2.3.6 (I9000xxJVU) using Odin and then installed plain vanilla ICS 4.0.3
Coming from Ginerbread 2.3.6 I find a lot of new things and the phone is also snappy and responsive... my old Galaxy S is acting almost like a new phone! So I am really happy.
Now that I am familiar with the process I am confident to tryout other ROMs...
I would like something simple, lightweight and fully-functional/bug-free.
So please let me know if there is any other better ROM I should try.
Thanks again guys!

Just one more question, what's your backup strategy that you guys use?
Or else it a lot of work to update each and every app... one by one... also what about the SMS, call log etc?

Because I'm a person who 1.) doesn't use too many apps and 2.) tries to be as economical as possible, I don't have a large amount to backup. My contacts and calendar are always through Google, and for SMS I use SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Call log I don't keep, because I'm not a person who really cares for call logs. I only have one other app, Colornote, and that's cloud-synced as well.
Everything else I need is in internal storage :3

More or less similar situation as TS
Hey guys,
Im in a more or less similar situation as the topic starter. My Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 has gotten slow and unresponsive with time.
I would like to update to a custom ROM, and got a little curious about the Slim Bean. But I feel a little unsure about how to proceed.
I'm currently running a custom Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM, my device is rooted. I flashed this ROM from the Froyo that came with the phone about 2 years ago. It's been so long since I flashed this, I need some directions, as Im afraid I will brick my device.
When I go to recovery mode I see it runs ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix.
Can I just put a Slim Bean 4.2 android version on my internal sd card and run "install zip from sdcard" in ClockwordMod? I would prefer to flash the latest stable version of Slim Bean, which would that be 4.2.2.build7-OFFICIAL?'
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bootism
Best way to update from gb or even older to jb is imo the way over cyanogenmod.
Follow this tutorial for 10.1: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
And then you can upgrade via cwm to the very good slim bean.

Thanks for the answer!
I recall reading about lots of issues with the lagfix and flashing ROMs. My file storage system is in ext4 instead of standard rfs, I think I should somehow undo this if I recall correct. Is this true?
Do you have an option to unlagfix in recovery?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I can choose "voodoo lagfix" in recovery.
It has the following options:
- disable lagfix
- enable lagfix (default)
- /system lagfix on (default)
- /system lagfix off
- debug off (default)
- debug on
Enter disable lagfix and reboot

Ok, so I got Cyanogenmod 10.1.0 running! so far so good
Good job. Now you can flash a zip in cwm.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, it's a whole new world opening up. Old phone runs relatively smooth, at least way better than before thanks for helping. I will stay on this Cyanogenmod for a bit and explore. Can I just flash in any of the ROMs as .zip in CWM later? I will look for a lightweight ROM for my old phone, any suggestions?
Ok guys, so here's what's happening... I have tried every method I could find online in order to get my IMEI to be recognized in the CM11. At first I tried it with the CM10.2 to no avail, and now I am failing with the latest one.
When I rollback to 2.2 or 2.3.3 my IMEI starts working again. HOWEVER, even with these stock versions, my efs folder contains a DIFFERENT set of files inside. In particular I have one file LESS (I think). It is the nv_data.bin. I do not know why I don't have that file, nor why my IMEI works without it!
But the point is that I, then, cannot use that "stock" efs folder to replace the new one created when I flash the CM11! Do you see my problem?! What should I do?! I really don't want to keep the 2.3.3 having experimented the CM11! I am sending a printscreen of my "backed-up" efs stock folder with hidden files enabled to see if anyone has an idea.
Please help me out! I am desperate here!
PS: MY model is the i9000b (from brazil) which is why I do not have a stock 2.3.6 (I think).
Go back to GB and then upgrade to KK in steps.
GB/ICS/JB/KK
I know some people haven't had any problems with jumping straight to KK from GB, but the only ever time that I personally lost my IMEI was when I was on GB and installed JB, missing out ICS...

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try that in the future, I'm kind of sick of rolling back and flashing over and over again for now. The good news is that my problem is (partially) fixed. I went back to KK (CM11) and still don't have IMEI but I can call and get calls again. It turns out my stupid carrier had blocked my SIM for some reason, so at least now it's useable again!
But my battery is being eaten like it's candy, though...

After installing which ROM?
Download betterbatterystats, it will tell you what the problem is. What does even settings>battery tell you is using battery?
To help someone information is required, not to be told 'it's not working!"

I've got a nightly CM11 for I9000B running. The battery tells me it's the screen (34%), the Android System (20%) and then surprisingly a game I play not as often as the 10% would represent. I already have my brightness lowered to half and still my battery seems to be getting worse and worse.
Going to try batterybetterystats and get back to you now!
Ok so batterybatterystats is paid :/ Any other free suggestions?
How long is your full time from a charge, and how much screen on time?
