Few n00b questions.
Firstly, how do i flash a nightly on my phone? lets say im running ofw 2.2 SEA edition? Do i follow the same procedure as if to flash RC1... do i also need to flash gapps similarly.
Secondly, are the links on quarxs' CM7 for defy thread up-to-date? or are there newer versions of gapps and nightlies floating around somewhere
Third, i have noticed that there is an issue with network and wi-fi when i flash cm7 RC1 over the nordic sbf. when i go back to official 2.2 SEA there is no hassle at all. Since i live in india i was wondering if that was the issue. I can easily take care of the network problem using "baseband switcher for defy" but it still doesnt help the wi-fi problem.
My question is.. will using the new BOOTSEA nightly solve this problem. I am assuming from the name is boot"SEA" im assuming its built southeastasia specific.
Fourth, ive used CM7 RC1 for a while and apart from the wifi issue i got problems with camera and video... it absolutely doesnt work, wether it be in potrait or landscape or whatever setting... the app just force closes. Any fixes for that.. ive got green lens.
please help!!! and i hope other similar questions can be added by members here so as to make this thread an FAQ for distressed users like me.
Thanks

--> I'd say install RC1 and gapps first, then try a nightly by just wiping cache and Dalvik - no need to install gapps again since they're on your phone now. If you install a BOOT version and want to go back to an earlier CM7 nightly, then you might want to start from scratch, reflash froyo and install RC1 + gapps again.
Secondly, are the links on quarxs' CM7 for defy thread up-to-date? or are there newer versions of gapps and nightlies floating around somewhere
--> mostly up to date, but I don't worry about gapps too much as I believe that the Market gets updated automatically anyway (but I might be wrong about that). On the OP, the link to the gapps should show you up to date versions; but read the comments on there - very important.
Third, i have noticed that there is an issue with network and wi-fi when i flash cm7 RC1 over the nordic sbf. when i go back to official 2.2 SEA there is no hassle at all. Since i live in india i was wondering if that was the issue. I can easily take care of the network problem using "baseband switcher for defy" but it still doesnt help the wi-fi problem. My question is.. will using the new BOOTSEA nightly solve this problem. I am assuming from the name is boot"SEA" im assuming its built southeastasia specific.
---> same here my wifi DL speed was really bad for the last month or so on CM7; only after BOOT179-4 install, my wifi speed somewhat got back to normal.
Fourth, ive used CM7 RC1 for a while and apart from the wifi issue i got problems with camera and video... it absolutely doesnt work, wether it be in potrait or landscape or whatever setting... the app just force closes. Any fixes for that.. ive got green lens.
---> My camera and video worked on RC1 (and earlier) but video recording had some chopiness at times. Around July 11th nightly, Quarx released a camera fix (in that nightly) that solved the problem for me. But then days later, on newer nightly builds, I got the FC problem on video camera (same as you but red lens here). Then with BOOT179-4, camera was fine again and so the wifi speed; so all good for me.
--------> I really don't know what's going on with the video camera: many poeple have problems and many have it working on every nightly builds. It has been a problem from day one for Quarx on CM7-jordan... You have to try and see which build works for you I guess. And like you said, BOOT-SEA definitely looks like something you should try - many people liked it and many people say yesterday nightly is the best for them so far... so go on and have fun with testing
---> Before you do more testing though, you can always do a backup from the custom recovery so it will be easy for you to restore your current phone state -if nothing improves. I do this all the time: stock recovery factory reset, nordic flashing, RC1 install then restore my (BOOT179-4 now) backup.
Please help!!! and i hope other similar questions can be added by members here so as to make this thread an FAQ for distressed users like me.
---> I did try to help - I hope I did! If so, you can use that "Thanks" button - hehe!
---> Not sure that a thread entitled "nightly doubts" will become a very popular
FAQ thread though

i went thru the whole FAQ but my doubts are regarding the nightlies which it doesnt address hence the thread.
thx for the concern though.
downloaded the BOOTSEA, but there is another file "cm7-110726-0018-BOOTSEA-Jordan.zip.md5sum" mentioned below it. ( there are similar md5sum files for all nightlies...) are they essential ? and how do i use them.
wanted to clarify before proceeding.

Md5 files are to verify your download is not corrupted one. Which you can compare the md5 after downloading the zip file and regenerating the md5 of downloaded file and check against the one in the server.

No problem.
Go read here on the official CM7-jordan thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654&page=943
And from post 9429 particularily; pretty much goes in the same direction I was pointing at regarding the wifi and video camera...
How's the BOOTSEA doing for you?
The nightly ones is just the output that the ones who are working on the rom ups to us. Normally have all that part on topic that say "next version:..."
If you wanna try the nightly one, use as the *.zip that you download when got the "rc1 v2" for exemple. So wipe the phone, choose install from a zip of the sdcard and choose the *.zip, been it the rc1 or the nightly build.
The md5sum file is the one that contains the 5sum from the file. Its nornaly given when you have to download a big file and have fear to corrupt the file. If you use linux, go on terminal and type "5sum file" when file is the name of any file that you have. It will give you a big number. This is the 5sum. The *.md5sum have the 5sum of the respective *.zip nightly rom.

how is the battery life with the nightly builds?
what android version is the 27/7 nightly build using? is it 2.3.5?
yup..its 2.3.5
First, i would like to congratulate every xda-developer for making this place.
My problem-
I want to install custom ROMs on my, 3 months old, phone DEFY+ (simple right??).
Thing is, i tried reading some threads related to "installing custom ROMs on DEFY+" but they all seem to leave a lot of unanswered question.
Here are my phone's specs-
rooted
system version - 45.0.891.MB526
Android version - 2.3.4
Kernel - 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
Build No. - 4.5.1-134_DFP-891
Burning points-
1. One thread suggests that kernel that came with android 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 are too uncommon and most of the CUSTOME ROMS are compatible with 2.3.6
Solution: ?? should i update my android version
2. Some threads suggest once i install custom ROM on defy+ i can't go back to stock rom
3. this thread say that you can get stuck on stock firmware after going back to stock firmware
4. Will i be able to access my purchased apps from the google play?
Can someone please guide us (defy+ owners) on how to install ICS or CM7.2, minimizing the mortal danger of bricking our precious.
A list of latest roms available for DEFY+ would be a bonus for us.
Thanks for reading. Please Help!

4. Yes, don't worry. Your Google Play purchases are tied to your Google account, so they will be accessible with any Android ROM/phone that uses the account on which they were bought. So, as long as you won't forget your account password and use an Android phone, they'll stick with you (even if they're not compatible with your new phone, they'll still be there) .
1. if u do update...then flash only those sbf's before DFP 188.....coz dfp 188'231 etc have bl7 ....n root access has not yet been acquired.....n since 2.3.6 would be better than 2.3.4 dun worry....i would suggest this coz this is what i use....
2. u can if u hav the right sbf.....or...make a nandroid backup of ur stock rom ....(which would obviously be rooted)
4. i think yes...because purchased apps are linked to ur google account and not to the phone.
5. maybe a thousand guides r available...sigh....try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100.....
ps. if u get any update binary errors while installation....try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540372....but this happened to ME.....i was on 2.3.6 n made a couple of mistakkes...now it works....1!!!!
Can some one please post a simple step by step guide for installing custom roms on defy+ (specifications mentioned in my first post).
I have really tried but its so confusing.
At present my phone is rooted and nothing more (no boot menu, CWM, etc.)
Please help!!
Hello
I'm noob with installing roms. I want to install cm because i'm tired for the orginal 2.3.4 and i'm wondering if the touchpads and game pads work with Cyanogenmod.
I want noob step by step how to install CM( which CM is the best Stable or Nightly?) and how to unlock bootloader
If there is better rom like a JB rom you can write it )
Did you search for it before asking?
bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017679
for cm9 based:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897
most cm roms for play have touchpad support
jb roms are cool but usually not what people want for gaming in comparison to gb
by best you must mean best for you so i wouldn't know, try some out.
here is a complete how-to:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_zeus
download the latest nightly build here:
http://get.cm/?type=nightly&device=zeus
cm9.1 is one of the most stable, reliable and fast ics out there. daily driver for me.
after krisdee's touchpad fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41961511&postcount=801), everything is perfect for me.
(you should get familiar with making your own cwm-patch or how to copy files to the /system dir. applying krissdee's fix works but to not mess with false updates in cm-updater, you should apply the build.prop edits yourself. copy the framework.jar and touchpadfix apk manually. or just edit krissdee's patch with the latest build.prop and just flash it.)
and no need for fancy mods to speed it up like adreno v3 drivers are needed. just watch our processes, disable some startup items and everything should run smooth and fine. but that are basics and to keep the phone clean and managed should be in every tech-savvy's mind.

Link For the new ROM (http://db.tt/bylFaYcO)
Link is same as of the old one. but rom is new
DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS ROM AS IT HAVE A BUG OF ALWAYS CRASHING "android.media.process" NOW I AM BUSY WITH MY M.S ADMISSION PROCESS SO I CAN'T DO MUCH FOR THIS....JUST FOLLOW THE ROM TWEAKING GUIDE AND YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN
GAPPS IS ALSO PRESENT AT ABOVE LINK
It's running very good on my device, only issue caused was "Android.process.media" stopped..it's B'coz of improper cleaning before installing the ROM.
You guys do a clean install and it'll be nice ...the original File is of 245MB and the one which is on my Link is just 190MB
unfortunately no new kernel I tired to flash the new kernel image onto it but the Wifi module is not running so enjoy as it is
Keyboard is present this time unlike the last one...
if you want you can still delete some apps after installing the ROM

OLD CONTENT of thread
20.07 tested the modified ROM its Running very smooth but experience some sluggishness because of that I didn't uploaded it yesterday
(20.07 @ 11:50 IST) NEW ROM TESTED AND ITS RUNNING GREAT
No bugs what so ever
1.REMOVED : ANTI-SPAM, Backup, Backup_restore_confirmation, Browser,Bug_report, Cloud Service, E-MAIL, Exchange, LatinIME (Google keyboard), MiUi_HOME, Theme Manager, Voice_Dialer, Weather, Weather_Provider.
2.ADDED : ActionLuancher Pro(it was there in 19.07 but it is causing much lag so removed it), ADW_Launcher, Google TTS
one important thing is there THIS ROM DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KEYBOARD the reason is that when i try to put them in ZIP and installed it I am getting an error showing "GoogleKeybaord stopped/ Sywpe stopped" instead I've given two separate .apk of Google_Keyboard(Gesture) and Swype(modified apk)
after installing the ROM, when you boot into it select English then skip the network and location settings (REMOVE SIM CARD TO AVOID MOBILE DATA CONNECTION as it will cost you if you are not subscribed for any data pack), Now goto file manager and install any one keyboard you like.
THE SIZE OF NEW ROM+Gapps is 179MB and the Original size was 201MB
[email protected]:40IST : uploaded the ROM and this is the link PLZ CHK AND GIVE ME (positive ) FEEDBACK
(http://db.tt/bylFaYcO)
"MiUi v5 3.7.19 is now available for download also OTA"
#this ROM is built on 3.7.12
#OTA will only work if you have pure MiUi...that is the one which is at the link which is given at start of the post
#if you are on Modified one that is, the one which I've shared will not cover OTA

I am using this ROM and its very very stable than any other great battery and no boot loops
further more you get realllllly coool looks...
NO WiFi BUG I DID NOTICED IT BUT IT IS BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO MODIFY SOME APPS AND LAUNCHER AND ACCIDENTALLY REMOVED A MAIN COMPONENT AND GOT STUCK WITH WiFi PROBLEM...
AFTER INSTALLING THAT THING M BACK ON STABLE ONE...
IF YOU WANNA TRY MORE MODIFIED VERSION OF THIS ROM, I'LL MAKE IT AVAIL BY THIS WEEKEND
STAY TUNED
I can't find the zip to install additional languages. Has it been abandoned or is the pack already included in the ROM itself?
edit: nevermind, I was searching en.miui instead of miuiandroid.

Actually, on V5 for both DEFY and DEFY+ on MIUI.com you can see this: Author: DreamTeam
On the other hand, for V2 on the DEFY page it says: Author: MIUI
That's what's confusing me... I'll try it anyway, hopefully it's much better than the previous builds (which were all ports afaik...)!

OHK! m also trying to make my port with different launchers and some removal of unnecessary apps WILL POST SOOON :angel:
will your rom work on defy also, when we can expect it? I see that it has a separate miui v5 download link for defy and defy+...
Previous releases were supposed to be private.
3.7.12 is the unofficial public release.
Defy and Defy+ each have their own release, but they should be the same. They probably separated them to prevent people from asking why there's only one release for both phones.
Why are you even asking? Both versions are available, just download yours!
I ask beacuase I would like to test coolshahabaz version without unnecessary apps....
SORRY

When you upload it I will try it on my defy and let you know how it works.... Tnx!
I tried 3.7.12 from miuiandroid and I get no sound when calling someone. I have to turn hands-free on to hear something.
The ROM is less snappy than mokee but it looks great. The no sound bug I face is quite ugly, though.

Hello guys.
I am a brand new Android user and a total noob when it comes to the whole terminology here (ROMs,Kernel,flash etc). I've been reading a lot and i got better i must say,but i still need to ask some questions and get some instructions.
I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE II - GTI 8160
The phone is rooted,i have SuperSU and this is the info bout the phone.
Firmware : I8180XXMF1
Kernel : 3.0.31D-K_v1.RC15
Android Version : 4.1.2. (official)
I'd like to flash a new ROM,and more specifically the 10.1 CM.
My questions are. Does the current firmware and Kernel version that my phone has,meet the requirements to flash the new ROM right away?
Even if they do,shall i "upgrade" Kernel to something better to increase performance (since i dont think i can upgrade firmware,couldnt find a newer Greek version).
New ROM will support Greek language normally?
Is there anything else i should notice before starting the procedure?
I'd appreciate some specific step to step instuctions of what should i do before flashing,if ofcourse there is something i should do.
Thank u in advance and sorry if there is a similar topic and i missed it

Don't have any fear about putting on a custom ROM, just follow the instructions carefully and double check you've downloaded the right gapps file. I've done it a fair few times now, and any problems I've had have been sorted by reading this forum.
Thanx a lot for ur responses guys. I'll try to read more before i do it,just to be absolutely sure about my moves.
