[ROM] Cyanogenmod Nightly Builds - Builds for P920 works on P925!

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!

I am using AOKP build 40.
Faster than froyo, a lot more available apps in market because it is ICS.
no FC at all.

Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
But since you want ICS, continue reading the guide.
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
You have ICS after a few minutes of booting.

You are here too. Btw thank you for your help last time. Now i want to get cm9 on my tab. I used cubed 3d, it was stable but i really want ics feel. I am currently on froyo and wanting to get cm9 installed. Any help is appreciated.

Hi droidxrooting,
I hope you are comfortable using Heimdall.
The last round you didn't get to use it on linux?
Most of the CDMA guide is using heimdall, some guides on Windows.
The process is similar, you want to flash a kernel that has CWM 5.x and support Ext4 conversion (so called lagfix).
Then flash ICS, the gapps.
there is cyanogenmod wiki too, but I don't know if it is clear or not

flash cyanogenMod 9 Stable version,.

Now I am very comfortable with heimdall. My first experience was horrible because of the drivers on my PC. I used other computers and it worked like a charm. I can not ask for more.
The problem that I was facing with flashing cm9 over cubed 3d is the error I was getting in cwm. Error 7 installation aborted. I tried to flash other ROMs as well with out any luck. Even after master reset and clearing the caches.
Now I am back to stock and rooted. I need the way to get recovery on my tab. If you can help me it would be great.
Once I get the recovery I think I should be able to flash cm with out any problems.

[Q] Baked Black Bean 9 ROM

Hey guys and gals,
First off, I want to thank all the devs for their hard work on creating these roms and kernels for such a great phone. I rooted my phone a little less than a year ago following a guide by jocala, and using RebelRom. From my understanding, the phone is still rooted. I have done nothing to change that so I hope it remained rooted.
My question today is in regards to the Baked Black Bean 9 release. Does it follow the same installation as other roms? Such that download the rom, move it to the sdcard, boot into the recovery mode, wipe it all, flash the room then gapps? If so, that is fine, I will just have to reread on how to do all that to the T so the phone does not get bricked, lol. If it is different, can anyone please explain?
My current phone state is :
Model Number: SGH-T679
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-custom [email protected] #7
Build Number: RebelRom 3.0.7 Milestone 2.A
Also, is swype supported by this ROM ? I loved swype but couldn't seem to get it to work with RebelRom.
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Yes Baked is installed like the others. Nandroid your setup however in case you don't like how things turn out. Wipe everything, flash the ROM and then Gapps. Please keep in mind the latest Baked is funny on first boot. You have to let it sit for around 5 minutes or so. Press the power key once (screen will be black) and then it will reboot in a bit. Everything is easy breezy Japanesey after that.
On Swype I can't tell you, I use Swiftkey.

THANK YOU. Finally something new and it comes preinstalled with a swype or something of that sort. Now I need to figure out how block the used dial attacks said in the wiki. It seems I'm still on uvl1. Nonetheless this forum is fantastic and the people are tremendously helpful. Also I flashed black Bean first top give it a go.
Any other amazing apps to try out?

Well I hate to tell you this but the only way to get the latest baseband is to flash Peach or the latest stock ROM, then revert back to Baked. What I did was nandroid, flash Peach, then restore the nandroid. Do NOT sign in to Google when/if you flash Peach or stock. Otherwise you will lose sync with Google Play which is a mess to re-sync. Just reboot recovery immediately after install.
On apps, there's a lot of good ones but depends on what you're looking for. For basics go with Boat Browser mini for web browsing and Poweramp for music. Use Seeder for a little less lag (Google "entropy" to learn more). And yes, I would pay the $5 for Poweramp especially if you're a music lover. Very worth it. The Google music app is awful IMO. Also make sure you have Google Maps installed so Google Now works properly.
Hope that helps you get started.

[Q] Updating Cyanvivo 10.1

Hello, I am happily running Cyanvivo 10.1 (thanks developers!). I know there is an update due out soon, and this was my first time installing a custom rom. My question is, knowing that OTA isn't supported, when the update comes out will have have to wipe and re-flash, loosing everything, or is there an easier process saving my data? I looked around for the answer some but have not found it as of yet. Thanks!

The way I do it, I use SMS Backup&Restore and Titanium Backup. When I finish saving all my files, reboot into recovery, wipe everything but the SD card, and flash the ROM. When it boots up and setup is finished, then I just restore everything back using the apps listed previously.
Of course you can just dirty-flash if you're lazy but don't expect help if you run into problems. The only place where a dirty-flash should not be done is if:
1. You're switching ROM (ex. you are going from CyanVivo10.1 to SVHD v1.7.1)
2. It's the same ROM but it has a different base.

yes it is. I wrote this post before I went to the development to see PACman
I recommend PACman ROM as well due to its immense number of features (CM+AOKP+AOSPA)(CyanogenMod, Android Open Kang Project, Parnaoid Android).
That is if you don't mind the occasional bug here and there.

[Q] Stuck with Ginerbread 2.3.6, Slowdown. Need Help

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.
Cheers

No reply?!
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.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is coming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the chosen option. ( factory reset )

if you want to upgrade to ICS or JB rom

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!

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?

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.

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?
