[Q]Cyanogenmod 7.1

should i install a froyo rom before i flash cyanogenmod 7.1???

No, cm 7.1 works better when your install base is Samsung gingerbread because of the bootloaders.
P.S. you don't need to create a topic when there is already thread for Q&A regarding CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067074

okay i tried to install it on jvs 2.3.5 now the phone shows cyanogenmod icon and keeps rebooting :S

Known issue. Flash it again from recovery and it should work.
Dont forget to clear dalvik cache.

thanks a lot m8

It runs great, of course.
CyanogenMod is by far my favourite ROM. I highly suggest it if you're a fan of power and awesomeness.

The very same thread u're referring to says one needs to running rooted Eclair/Froyo Bootloader.
My question is, Do i really need to Downgrade to Froyo if I'm already on stock Gingerbread?
and also, How would we know if Gingerbread bootloader becomes "safe" in future, if ever?

No need to downgrade, GB bootloaders are safe.
In the early(er) CM7 days Froyo bootloaders were needed for CM, for the last couple of months both bootloaders are supported, and GB bootloaders are preferred because of lower batt drain.
If needed you can always go back to Froyo bootloaders using Odinn/Heimdall.

Thanks for clarifying.
but, just to be sure, can you give me some link to any source that says this? every thread i could find tells you to downgrade first...

Can't find a source stating this, but i'm running CM7 with GB Bootloaders. Only risk you were running installing CM7 on GB was that your external SD-Card wouldn't be recognized, and there was a Loadscreen glitch when the phone booted.
Those issues was fixed a couple months ago, so there is no problem flashing CM7 over GB Bootloaders.

go to download section, take i9000.zip and common_2.2.zip

Ok thanks mate, I screwed up my phone while trying to install 2.1 before so thought better to ask
The thing is that I did download and install those 2 files only :?
Well hopefully it will work fine this time
BTW do I have to Wipe all (delvik, cache etc) or just the data?

I would do a full wipe for a clean install
P.s. btw i assume that you have cm9 or ics kernel installed before installing SlimICS?

BTW here's the screenshot of my cell-
Sorry can't post that will try that as attachment.
Great Rom, very fast. 3g/wifi is working great, Battery life is cool too. My cell was charged 8 hours ago and wifi have remain on since. Also about 25 min of conversation done too.

Hmmm i misread and thought u were installing SlimICS but good that u got JB working anyways! Btw, how much better is Slimbean compared to SlimIcs? Have been thinking about upgrading..

Can't compare it with Slim ICS as I haven't used that but it's one of the best for sure , using it for just about 24 hours but it's working great.
ICS 4.0.4 was one of the best I have used and I can say that this one beats that hands down.

Here is a video about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvGiOQAMI3o
So, is there any developer here, who could port it for our little Mini? :fingers-crossed:

Instead of starting new thread you should've look around first, as it's already proved to be working... I'm using it right now...

Right. I wanted it faster than google could find for me. sorry.

Choco bread is an old ROM, im not sure it will work on that, but it will definitely work on newer ROMS , even CM10 and 10.1
BTW why chocobread? There are so many other better ROMS. If you go to android development section you will find many better ROMs than chocobread. Hell, even cm10.1 works properly now (android development>>Bazinga ROM by The Alchemist)

I'm sorry to hear that. If your phone is still under warranty, flash stock ROM and take it to SSC. (Actually even if it not under warranty, take it to SSC to determine the cause of your problems- it could be hardware related...for all you know, you could have purchased a defective model)
As for the correct method to flash a ROM-
1) Boot into Recovery.
2) Wipe data, Cache partiton.
3) Go to advanced>>wipe Dalvik cache
4) Install update from sd card>>choose update>>ROM.zip
5) After flash wipe data and cache partition.
6) Reboot.
That's all.
Hope this helped. Best of luck in fixing your phone:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

[Q] Perform a clean downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.0.4

Hello there XDA.
First I would like to apologize if this has already been answered. I searched for the past 3 hours but did not find anything that would fully answer my questions.
So I have a Samsung GT-N7000 Galaxy Note running the stock 4.1.2 LT4 ROM (rooted). The device is unbranded and bought from Germany. Because it lags horribly everywhere, I want to get ICS and the old TouchWiz back, so I decided to downgrade to the latest ICS ROM that has TouchWiz 4, and, after searching, I found that it is N7000XXLRK.
These are my questions:
- what do I have to do to fully wipe the phone before I downgrade to N7000XXLRK, therefore completely removing any traces of older ROMs, in order to do a clean install? Do I have to use some option in PC Odin? Maybe wipe some partitions in Recovery (I have installed PhilZ CWM for LT4)? Cache, data, system, or maybe some others, too?
- what partitions are safe to wipe from CWM and what are not?
- what else should I do to ensure that the new ROM works properly?
- is there anything that needs to be backup-ed, aside from apps (I use TitaniumBackup for that) and all files on the sdcard and external_sd partitions?
I mention that before LT4 I had all Stock 2.3 ROMs, all Stock ICS ROMs 2 AllianceROMs and 3 leaked Jelly Bean ROMs.
Thanks in advance.

See friend... this is Easy, I think as you are on xxlt4 u must be running philz, c.o.h or speedmod//??.. if yes, boot to recovery and go to mount and storage option and then format everything... after that.. go to the bootloader, VOLdown+home+Power.. and then directly flash your ICS ROM, this would be a perfect clean install!!!
hit- THanks please

Hello NoteboyTech.
All right. Thanks for the answer. I will try it. Yes, I am on official XXLT4 with PhilZ CWM, but no custom kernel.
P.S. Have you or anybody else tested this before? I may be a little paranoid but I am afraid not to brick my device, as I have read that some users were unable to use the phone function after formatting /efs or /boot in CWM.

What is the most stable kernel? (aside from stock)

It's great you've got a note 2... my note has also started to lag as hell... I am thinking for a motherboard replacement.. to solve my lags.. hehe...

How root/new ROM

Hello,
I am a complete noob and need help figuring out how to do this, I have a kindle fire that i set up with the pure android 4.2 ROM, and was wondeing how i could do this with my captivate, and is there any way i can use this on AT&T without a data plan.
By the way the captivate is running the way it comes form at&t .

Click the link below and read (to get the idea), then read again (to understand what you are doing), then do exactly what it says (to get what you want). Start with CyanogenMod Stable 10.1.2, it's the most popular custom ROM (may change it later to whatever you want 4.2.2 based). Don't flash Android 4.3 beta ROMs as your first custom ROM. You need to download Google Apps too, version for 4.2.2 ROMs. Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading. Good luck!
