[PRJ] CM6 system 8/27/2010 ALPHA

Here is the CM6 system built last night by me. Go ahead and do whatever you want with it. This is for those having issues building. Here it is
www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/froyo.tgz
This is not a ready to flash ROM but just the system folder from the CM6 build for people to play with.
This is for devs looking to play with CM6 which was compiled for the vibrant and not just a generic build. This is NOT A READY TO FLASH ROM. I just built went to sleep and threw this up for people.
Enjoy!

?
can we flash this through odin? pda?

The CyanogenMod Wiki Full Update Guide for the Samsung Vibrant
The CyanogenMod wiki has the instructions for the Full CM6 update. I am unable to post the link since I am a new member! I haven't flashed the ROM since I just got my phone last night.

Where was that indicated? There are only two how-tos on the Wiki for CM6 of relevance for Galaxy S/Vibrant: building the CM6 kernel from source, and updating the Galaxy S/Vibrant to CM6. However, the "Full Update Guide" includes the following caveat: NOTE: As of right now CyanogenMod is not available for the Samsung Vibrant.
There are no full instructions on the wiki for building CM6, nor for truly updating a Vibrant since CM6 has not been built for the Vibrant. You will also not find even an alpha release, nor any nightlies.
For those who don't understand why this is the case, or why flashing a ROM through Odin is different than through the recovery console, it's probably best to wait until there is a "one-click" for you ...

so many people are going to download this without realizing that this is for development only and not even for use yet

I semi understand that stuff but know my limits... But a huge THANKS!!! to those who do!!!
Patiently waiting for "one-click"....

Sorry if you took that as a genuine offer of advice, but it was meant as a sarcastic retort. People who don't understand what is technically involved in "rooting", what it means to "mount" a device or where the line between Linux and Android lays really have no basis in asking for aid when things go awry. (Sorry if I offend you, but seriously, you're asking for help in a development thread without knowing about which what you're actually asking for help? Really? Seriously?!)
No one has created a reliable method to fully supplant the Vibrant's recovery console, the OTA package that is normally used to flashed Android devices cannot be properly compiled and packaged for the Vibrant, users are still having issues building an AOSP directory structure—let alone a truly usable boot.img—and a complete system replacement is expected?! It really is no wonder why those really building apps and systems for various Android platforms avoid XDA, and leave it to those merely "cooking" as was previously the standard with WinMo.
(When is the interrobang going to be finally accepted as a true form of punctuation?! Really?!)

nice work, seems like a lot of devs are finally on this

People don't stay away from XDA because of the sometimes foolish questions people ask. They stay away because of the way they get treated by pompous d*cks like you that have no tolerance for people trying to learn and enjoy their devices more.
Everyone starts out without a clue and without help from others we'd all still be drooling on ourselves and sh*tting in our diapers.
Grow up and help out... or just go away.

[ROM & Kernel] CyanogenMod 7

Hi. I'd like to announce you that I'll try to port CM7 to Arc.
I need some people to test it too as I don't have Arc.
It'll be system.img flashable via fastboot. So, ANYONE?
Of course that you need unlocked bootloader because there's no other way of flashing system.img file except fastboot!
Note: be prepared to most probably lose all data to ensure that CM7 will run on clean system (to avoid any additional bugs).
Brick recovery:
If CM7 system.img ever bricks your phone, simply connect it to the fastboot and flash Bin4ry's rooted system.img (easiest way), or reflash with FlashTool.
Some kind of global EULA. Breaking these terms will reflect as stopping releasing progress to the public on some time.
*Do not remind me about posting my progress. I know that I have to post progress when there will be any, I'm not stupid.
*Do NOT ask me to switch to 2.3.4 CM7 because there are only nightly builds for a few devices.
*Do NOT mirror my files once they appear. Reasons:
1) With no mirrors I can keep track of download counter.
2) With no mirrors I ensure that all people download latest release, not some outdated file from mirror.
3) Mediafire is FREE and it has NO DOWNLOAD WAITING.
Everything I publish will be in this Mediafire folder. Again, don't mirror.
Update - 16th May: I have plans to make a custom kernel too. Wait for further info
Update - June 2011: Jerpelea has taken over CM7 development for Arc. FreeXperia project expanded to Xperia Arc and Play. Play will be maintained by me. Arc project closed - thread closed.

If you're happy to explain things in terms so simple a 5 year old can understand them, I'm happy to test for you...

Do you have SIM-unlocked phone, and can you unlock bootloader?

I've already unlocked the bootloader.
And rooted via Bin4ry's method.
I'm working 12.00-16.00 (BST) tomorrow, then off 'til 12.00 (BST) on Wednesday, so I should be around quite a bit over the next few days.

Great!!! Same way as you flashed Bin4ry's system.img, you'll flash this one too, so don't worry

Sounds fine to me.
I'll spend this evening getting my Defy ready to use again, just in case...

I'll be happy to test - I can also help with debugging and possibly porting too (no actual dev experience, but do have the ability to read and understand things, and have plenty of linux experience). I'll be able to test over the next 3 weeks, but I do have university exams, and they take priority obviously. Once those 3 weeks are over I'll have lots of spare time for a couple of months, so can help properly then! My phone is sim and bootloader unlocked, but not rooted at the moment.
Obviously, this is my main phone, so just for clarity, not doing anything that ca affect the ability of the phone to go into fastboot mode, correct?

Worst thing that can happen is that you'll have to reflash rooted system.img by Bin4ry. But better safe than sorry

Correct.

Well, knowing me luck...
I know there shouldn't be any risk, it'd just be simpler for me to have a fully functional phone to use while the Arc is being tinkered with.

Yes, if that's acceptable for you to have Arc for testing only, then cool!
It's always better to have backup phone so you have time to fix another one.

In that case, I think I'll buy myself a cheap £10 payg phone from the local supermarket, just in case - I can stick my current SIM in it while developing/testing.

I hope you both are ready for the data loss. It's necessary, to ensure that ROM will run on clean phone and avoid any bugs possible due to installed application and user settings.

I have Titanium Backup, I'll be fine
edit: to be honest, so long as I don't lose my text messages, which I back up regularly anyway, I don't really care about the rest.
I don't use my Arc for music, I have a proper Walkman for that. I basically haven't used the Arc's camera because it's a long time since I last had a phone with a good camera, so I'm unused to it now and I can always re-download apps...

Good luck guys nice to see a bit of community co-operation, hope all goes well
I shall follow the goings on with anticipation

Can redownload apps - it's a new phone, so don't have any text messages and music is all on my PC contacts, emails etc are all saved on google's servers and don't have any photos!

Thanks a lot
So, I can count on rustynuts34 too?
I hope you have MSN, Yahoo!, gTalk, or meet on IRC (MSN preferably) so we can discuss faster once I start with porting (that should be in next few days)

[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.

[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

Go to Chas' Asylum thread in Android development, and use the search option. He gave the solution on 8th of August.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

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

[SOLVED] Installing a custom ROM on Xperia Z1 using XZDualRecovery

Hello guys. I'm new to the community, but I did my homework and I can honestly say I've spent a good +40 hours on this site in the past month, and it paid off since I'm now the proud owner of a rooted Xperia Z1 running 4.4.2 KitKat with XZdualrecovery which is something I tought I would never do out of fear of bricking my device and the lack of information and support for my rather "slightly rare" C6906 model with annoyances like a non-unlockable bootloader , where the C6903 and C6902 models get all the attention. Anyway guys, I rooted my phone, awesome...but for me, the next step is installing a custom rom, because I feel that the stock xperia Z1 firmware is not enough for my customizing needs, plus I also envy the stock like experience it provides, even more than my Z1. I read up on a few guides for installing cyanogenmod on the Z1, but they all seem to be only supported for the C6903 and C6902 models. Plus, it doesn't help to motivate myself knowing that my C6906 model still has a locked bootloader (apparently) and I've read unlocking the bootloader is a requirement for installing custom ROMs. So, my questions are:
Is XZDualRecovery enough to install custom ROMs? Specially the version with the locked bootloader? Could I run into any issues?
If the answer to the previous question is yes, Are there any good guides concerning the C6906 model on how to install custom roms? (Or more importantly, cyanogenmod? [preferably versions that have been tested on the C6906])

You cannot install anything like Cyanogenmod as it needs an unlocked bootloader
You can install any rom from the development section, just follow the locked bootloader instructions
Now that you have recovery, make a backup and follow the instructions in the thread.

Thanks!

No, and xda mods don't like that question being asked. Best ROM and asking for best ROM threads get closed quickly. Here is why..
If you ask someone which pizza they should buy then people give their own favourites as a recommendation. I like hot, spicy and meaty ones, but if recommend that to you may say "That's disgusting!" you may be one of those people who like anchovies and sweetcorn on their pizza. That may be perfect for you, but I will hate it
In short, you have to try them yourself and see which one suits you best. One bit of advice though, even if someone recommends a ROM to you, its no guarantee you will like it.
Part of the appeal of android is that we can customise so much, so try, test for a week (It takes that long to get an idea of performance and battery) then move on and try another.
Once you have done that, flash your favourite.
