[Q] Cyanogen Mod 7.1

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.

ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.

Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense

lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.

Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.

Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.

I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

There are different methods, some more simple, what version you have?

if you mean andriod version... I have 2.2.2

Look for UPK 3.6 and from there you can root with Blackjack.
After the root process you won`t lose anything but the warranty.

Okay, will do. Thanks heaps!

rooting your phone is dangerous but once you have done it, you will get a chance to try different roms. In short, Its fun!!!

To the OP, always search for your question, it has no doubt been answered over and over again. Then, make sure you post your question in Q&A, not here in General.

Introducing

Hello everybody,
I've been watching the LG Optimus Black section for a while now and i wanna introduce myself on this forum, already know how to root, unbrick, install custom roms, flash cwm etc. but i'm not a developer so i can help you port or make roms or something like that.
Anyway, i wanna say thanks to the developers for their amazing work of making roms and i watch your progress
If i see the problem or know the answer i will try to help anyone but i don't know very much about development as i said before.
I know the answer of the question below but since i can't post in the developers section i will give my answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24777388&postcount=147
anyone knows how to make screenshots? I already tried menu+back, didn't work.
Can't capture my first "real" miui screens
Screen capture is included in this rom but doesn't work with me, i pressed volume button down and the menu key at the same time but can't find the screenshot anywere.
Hope this post isn't in conflict with the forum rules.

Try home button together with lock key
Or try volume down and home
Else download an app from playshop

[Q] Problem with SGA GT-S5830

Hi,
I don't know if this is the place to posting this but, anyway, i have to post it, if it's wrong please excuse me.
I have a SGA i'm root user and i've been flasing roms in my device for some time with CMW5. In this time I should made some mistake or smth...
I have an issue with the left touch-button on the screen, this button seems disabled... But when i was using StockLite v8 i discovered this button still works, this rom has the option to create a virtual button on state bar, when i touch this virtual botton it sounds two ticks, like it was executing both buttons, also this options table that appear when you tick in the button appears on its will. Anyway usb mass storage also don't work. This issue is fixed with terminal emulator tiping some lines. But left button's issue... I would appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Reflash with Odin
Try reflashing original stock rom with Odin and comment.

Well, I think thats a rom problem.
Try to post in your rom thread, maybe you'll get better help

hello viper, I know that you know more then me in android, and your help is always appreciated, unfortunately instead of helping, prefer kidding me. If you have a better solution would be good that you give it to help this friend. Actually I said I didnt knew this rom.
Notice that "screen filter" has a function "enable soft-key backlightt" that could help. If dont nothing more than uninstall it.
At least I tried to help, and you?

this is purely a rom problem, some roms dont allow for touch keys to be activated, or in your case, only allow 1 to be activated. UMS isnt supported on every rom, but u can flash a thing for it, search xda for a UMS thing, there is one, and i have used it before

I'm glad what I said first was true, was a rom issue.:laugh:
btw, although it was a mistake, as viper said, the soft-key function of the app I spoke about, doesnt work in ACE [but the app is interesting (I didnt knew it) when you have the screen brightness to the street and enters a house, you can instantly download the brightness, and turn it back when you leave. I'm gonna try it better)

i dont know what you are talking about, if its the thing where when u enter dark areas the screen brightness goes down, and in bright areas, brightness goes up, then u need a light sensor on ur phone, which the ace does not have

You' re rigth ace hasnt light sensor.that's why this app seems OK, to do it manually

[Q] Lost root after flashing Android 4.3

Hi guys, I know you have tons of rules here and I tried my best to respect all of then by searching for a thread containing info on what in looking for but I couldn't find one. I rooted my phone a couple of years back and have been flashing various ROMs since. About a week ago however I flashed an unofficial android 4.3 ROM by CyanogenMod and after that once I discovered how buggy it was (as per the developer's warning) I decided to flash something else. However I couldn't access my recovery menu no matter what I tried and it looks like I've list root but I can't be sure of that. Ask the root apps aren't working and I got a toast from one of them saying you need root access to use this. Right now what I want is a way to either reroot or maybe there's a simpler way of solving this problem. If I could access the recover mode menu I could use the conventional way of rooting but right now I can't even di that. I'd really appreciate a solution if any of you could take the time out to give me one. Thanks so much and I really hope to hear from you.

I assume you flashed Chas' rom. If you could just read the op.... Chas gave everyone a soultion on a silver plate..

er.sorry

To be really honest I'm not sure whether it was his ROM or not since I got it from a YouTube instructional video. There was a direct download link. Do you think you could please do me a favor and point me in the right direction to the solution? Losing my mind here since it's so buggy

At me it worked.
And saw it posted in a 4.3 thread/post
You have to disable and re enable it in developers option in settings.
And then try root privilege using apps to check if it worked like type su in terminal
