[Q][Still not Solved] Nexus one getting buggy with 7.1 mod

Greetings fellowmen!!
Recently i thought of rooting my nexus 1. So i did some research and found out that the easiest way to do it was by unlocking the bootloader installing a custom recovery (I did Amon Ra) and then wiping the data\factory settings and flashing the cm 7.1 zip. So i did all the above and there you go....I had an n1 running cm 7.1 smoothly but then after a few hours it starts to piss me of. The problem is that whenever i lock the homescreen with the power button and wake it up again it just displays the main homescreen and does nothing i cannot navigate to the left or right homescreen cannot open app drawer in short it just hung up there doing nothing. I had to take out the battery atleast 15 times. I rebooted my device and it kept on giving me the same problem.
So then i reflashed cm 7.1 by wiping the data and factory settings and installing it again. But still it gave me the same problem. So then i thought of flashing 7.0.3 version instead and surprisingly that works like a charm. So is it the mod thats buggy or is it my phone.
One more question. I have the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread rom which i got from here!!
Code:

This one in particular-
GRK39F OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):
MD5: 35C8B4B9FD22DD4CA19C5D026E74411D
So to install this rom do i have to install it the same way i did cm by wiping data/factory settings and then installing flash from zip or is there any other way to do it ?
Thanks in advance for taking out valuable time and reading my long problem!!

I am running the latest version of CM 7.1 that was released within the last week or so without any issues. Got it from here. http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=passion
Before that I was running the RC for 7.1. One thing to try it wiping multiple times before flashing. I assume you are running Amon RA 2.2.1, which is the latest. I have never had a problem with that recovery, however I flashed my ROM with this recovery. So far I think I like it better than Clockwork and Amon.

As for installing other ROMs yes you do flash them the same way you flashed CM.

So are you saying that it was the recovery that was causing the problem?
Yes I am using the latest Amon Ra 2.2.1 version.
I also got the rom from that link.
And can you explain whats the difference between all these recoveries?
Thanks for replying!

I am not saying it is the recovery, I highly doubt that is the problem. I was just comparing differences. There does not seem to be much difference in the recoveries for what you are trying to do. The recovery I am running is a fairly new one that I just wanted to test out. I do think I like it better than the others.
First thing I would do is wipe 3, 4 or 5 times before flashing. I have had rare occasions where a single wipe would not do it for me. Also have you verified the Checksum of the CM download? Does recovery say it installed successfully? I have also had error installing a ROM in recovery but then had the phone still load the ROM.

Yes i did check the md5 checksums and they match perfectly. Though i did wipe it out only one time so maybe that could be the problem. I think i should get clockworkmod and wipe it through that and then flash cm 7.1. Amon RA doesnt really give us the option of wiping the system partition. right?

Correct Amon Ra does not have an option to format system partition. It's recommend you also wipe system when coming from a different ROM.
Try this file by temasek's, format-signed.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?8vbd13b440coxx6
just flash it in recovery and it will clean everything, now you can flash CM7.1 again

Are you sure you can't wipe the system with Amon? I remember having that option, but it's been several months since I have used that recovery. Kind of makes me want to flash it to find out.
Before flashing a different ROM I always wipe system, cache and dalvik cache. It is definitely important to wipe the system before flashing a new ROM. I'm sure that is where your problem lies.

No, ClockworkMod has it, but Amon_RA doesn't. Supposedly it is in the works for the next version, but that was a long time ago when I heard that (probably back when v3 for clockworkmod came out).

I did a nandroid backup and flashed the format zip file and then flashed cm 7.1 and its giving me the same problem!!
I had to restore and go back to 7.0.3
Why is this happening
Edit: I also wiped the dalvik cache and factory reset it also but still it just freezes!!

Any advise?

Have you tried downloading the file again maybe form another location I doubt this is the problem but sometimes it's something you don't expect.
You could try from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version

But how does it matter I checked the md5 checksum and it matches!!

Why not stay on CM7.0.3 theres not much difference between the 2
if you dont want to i suggest to try to flash Clockwork recovery and do a full wipe then reflash CM7.1

But still I want to see how 7.1 is!
The main point here is to upgrade and not taking the alternative of staying at the older version!

Please guys any help would be appreciated!!

Doesn't CM7 need clockworkmod 3.x?? Try to flash CWM3.x over Amon if you can get your hands on the flashable zip or if you can get into a working rom, use romManager to switch from amon.

Make no different if you use amon Ra or CWM. I would definitely stay away from cwm 3.x or higher if you're using sd-ext

Looks like Ill have to stay with 7.0.3 there doesnt seem to be a solution!!

[Q] TeamHeroC2.3.7 No market, some gapps

My current ROM is jaybob's CM6.2 w/ firerat and using Darchstar's RA recovery 1.7. heroc is s-on.
Removed firerats and tried flashing TeamHeroC-2.3.7-22OCT.zip plus several gapps but cannot get Market to show up in the app drawer. Car home, talk and books sometimes show up. They all flash ok but market does not show up in the app drawer. I've tried to the following gapps each time wiping cache, dalvik+factory reset:
From CM7
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
From OMFGB thread
lithid-gapps-0504-signed.zip
GAPPS.zip
From Hero deck thread
gapps-hero-20110522.zip
I would post in the android dev section but cannot since my post count is < 10. I've gotten by in the past by searching and reading threads but this issue I can't resolve. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi
U may have to either update ur recovery or try ROM manager recovery, then factory reset, wipe all, then under under recovery format everything except the SD card stuff under mounts abd storage...then
reflash ROM by itself. While there sync ur account, then flash the gapps. The hero deck gapps with voicemail worked for me.
I hope it works.

Agreed, it sounds like a recovery issue. I'd flash a CWM recovery and see if that fixes things.

In order to get rid of Firerat's you have to either flash a new recovery and then format/wipe boot, system, data, and cache (you can use Rom Manager or just find one to flash from recovery) or you need to use the Firerat's removal tool and then do all of the format/wiping in order to really get rid of firerat's. Any of those gapps should work though as I believe they are all universal GB gapps. I use Jaybob's with some 6/13 gapps.

thanks guys! resolved it by flashing cwm2.5.0.7 and wiping everything.

[Q] CM9 + Gapps Problem

I have a problem with humbertOS' RC0 of CM9 or rather with his gapps zip...
I followed the instructions and did a factory reset and wiped everything (cache, dalvik). after that i installed the newest build (CM9-SGT7-TE4M-20120202) via CWM, didn't reboot and also flashed the kernel for my model (P1000) and flashed the gapps zip right after that and then i finally rebooted the tab...
everything works fine, wait..not everything:
the gapps dont show up...no market, no gmail etc... also it seems that i dont have CWM anymore, since i cant boot into it. but that seems to be normal from what i've read...
so i cant flash the gApps zip again...is there any other way to install it?
i did the whole procedure (installing froyo and the overcome kernel, wipeing everything and flashing humbertOS' files) 4 or 5 times already, but no luck
any1 xperiencing the same? any solutions that i'm not aware of?
i wouldve posted this in the original thread in the dev forum, but i'm not allowed to bc of my 0 posts...

I have a Sprint Galaxy Tab and running JT's ICS build but try this.
Get to CWM, wipe everything, flash the rom. Then mount /system. Then flash GAPPS.
Should work then.

works like a charm thx!

that is not CM9 + Gapps problem.
That is CM9 for SGT in general and we all know that.

[Q] Flashing ICS Roms when you are already on ICS

Hello guys!
I was wondering how should I go about flashing another ICS Rom. I am already on AOKP build 23. If I want to flash another rom do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install from SD card?
Also, to change a kernel do I just install from SD card?
Many thanks!!

its no difficult man

Just reading. No so difficult like he said.

erm, so is what i said correct?

Factory reset (which is the same as wipe) -> install from SD. Done.

Yes, you got it right. Also follow instruction for the specific rom you want to use.
If there are problems flash to stock with odin + repartition.

Restore and flash
I tried to flash slim rom from sharing rc 4.2.but failed to pass the kernel screen. Don't know what went wrong

Upgrading cm 7.2 to cm9

Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..

Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.

thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..

took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.
