So, I have successfully rooted my phone and gained superuser rights. This was my first time rooting a phone. So, I get the cm7 rom from cm's website I. I put it on my sd card, and I go to flash it and it gives me some sort of error... Something about verification? If anyone could help out that would be splendid.
I have a galaxy s2 t989.
Our phone isn't on cyanogen mods website so u probably got the build for the wrong phone. Ur lucky it didn't install otherwise u would have a brick right now. Get the cyanogen build from the development section of this forum

Hmm...
Thanks for the info... glad I didnt brick my phone!
I found this Rom Cyanogenmod 7 Self-Kang For Tmo-Sgs2 Alphafied #2 2.3.7 Updated.. and the links were broken. Tried rootzwiki... broken as well.
Do you have any suggestions on a good build? I was looking for something with just gingerbread like the cm7 build...?

I would like good links to those too.
However, try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416445
It's a great Rom to hold you over for an official CM. Without trying Slayher's actual versions but reading comments I believe it might even be more stable than where he left off.

You are probably like me....
I came from the G2 and all I knew was CM7 (most roms based off cm7 in that section at that time). Once I got the Galaxy S II, I was sad that there was no completely finished and supported cm7 builds. I tried the ones mentioned and they do work for the most part but you have to turn on gps before rebooting or you lose audio in calls.
Anyways...long story short, try out some touchwizz roms. You will find that they are almost exactly like gingerbread roms from cm7. You can get a different launcher than TouchWizz (like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go, ect) and your basically there. The settings menu will look different, and some animations and tones will be a little different....(you can customize all of this stuff BTW!) but after I used it for a week I was used to it and I was over the whole Cm7 gingerbread look that I thought I had to have!
Hope this helps.
Anyways, l
Here you go
Here's a good link for CyanogenMod 7 Self Kang 2. http://www.4shared.com/zip/oGKIwRpK/update-cm-720-RC0-Self-KANG-2-.html . Enjoy.

i found 2 themes that I would love to put on my phone but they are for 4.0.4. Is there directions on how to port them as I did find a 4.1.9999 theme template but really have no idea wtf im doing with themes. Should I downgrade to 4.0.4 instead, or would I really be missing on key features. I mostly just call, txt, and web, maybe use google maps if im stuck somewhere. Is it as simple as wiping and writing the 4.0.4 over the 4.1.9999 and any clue where to find 4.0.4, found the one link in the development forum in offfical thread but its dead. Thanks for all help and opinions.
these two are pretty badass...

I think that if you want themes you have really only 2 options.
Learn how to make themes for yourself because it's really not that hard. Just time consuming.
Go to a stable build (like 4.0.4) and use the theme of your liking.
The main reason why there aren't a whole lot of themes out there for the experimental themes is because they are EXPERIEMENTAL. Experimental = possibly unstable. Adding themes to even a stable build can mess it up. Also, if you are using an experimental build and have problems while your using a theme it is likely that Cyanogen wouldn't easily offer you support because it's likely related to the theme. Besides until you either make a theme from scratch or port over your favorite theme you have no idea how much time it can take. And nothing is more aggravating than to successfully port over (or make) a theme just to find out that another ROM update has been released.
can i just go into recovery mode and put 4.0.4 over 4.1.9999 and should I do a wipe? or will I have to do more than that. Thanks

Yeah it's best to wipe. Normally you don't have to with Cyanogen's builds, but as 4.1.9999 is 1.6 AKA Donut and 4.04 is 1.5 AKA Cupcake then it's a very good idea.
After wiping just flash 4.04. You shouldn't need to wipe your ext partition.
know where i can find 4.0.4?

Just a couple questions about some stuff.
I'm running the Cannon 2.1 rom and I really enjoy iy. I've used a couple of the Froyo roms but can't seem to get the apps to install to anywhere except the phone so I'll just stay here. Anyway..I've seen a couple of boot animations I like but they says there for a different rom..Will they work with mine??
Also....THEMES..I like new themes..I like to switch em alot but I can't really find any..Is there a thread on here I'm missing?? Maybe a website in general?? Does it have to be for my phone/rom, or just for android in general???
Thanks folks.

i might not know alot about themes and roms seeing that im very new to this.. but i like the nexus one boot screen and i downloaded a flashable signed zip from the forum and ive used it with every rom ive flashed.. ( CM6 based).. but i dont reeally think it matters!
and ive used majority of the froyo roms and most of them have the app2sd fully working .. u just goto follow instructions on how to enable it
and theres like tons of themes and such in this forum , heck just search around.. ull find so many that u wont even have time to try em all XD
as for the theme for specifics... ye i think the theme has to go for the phone.. again this is just my assumption but im just saying cause most themes are custom made for resolution specific devices... also like wvga and hwvga but meh..
try and try and try..im very positive you cant brick your phone by theming

Like Dhruv94 said, most boot animations will work with any ROM. As far as themes, you have to find a theme made for the ROM your running. Most ROMS have different framework so just any ol' theme wont work. Unless its a metamorph and it says (Will work for any 2.1 ROM) or something like that.
Ok....since I'm using the SpeedTeam 2.2 build, I would have to find a them for that one, or any one compatible with all 2.2 builds...correct?
What about the Launcher Pro..I don't really like the other one..ADW??..I just find the icons cleaner and I've had crashes before,will I have to get a theme compatible with that as well?
Sorry for the noobish questions but I'm ust to WinMo.

No biggy, its good to ask questions when your new to things like this. As far as launcherpro, it doesnt have anything to do with any themes you will install so you dont have to wory about that. Also, alot of people that make ROM's, base there ROM's off of cyanogenmods (including speedteams i think). So if you find a theme that is made for cyanogenmod RC3 or something like that you can use it with speedteams ROM if they based theres off of cyanogenmod RC3. If you look in the first post of the thread where you found your ROM it will tell you what they based there ROM from. If i were you i would flash the new cyanogenmod RC3. Its running very good and alot of people will make themes for it. Go to cyanogenmod.com and go to dream magic themes and you'll probably find one you like. If you need any help at all just let me know.
As title says..what do you think is the best ROM? and why? I have finally rooted the DHD and I want to try something new
Pls suggests me
thanks in advance for the answers
Can't really comment on Android revolution as I have never used it, don't like sense and hadn't realised there was a no sense option.
Cm 6 is great and the latest release is very stable, but...
Cm 7 brings gingerbread I have had no stability issues, and have been running it since the builds where unofficially compiled from source, current nightly builds are great.
But everyone has different needs / likes, I have been a CM fan since I first installed it on my HTC Magic and it suits me, give Android revolution a go and see what you think you've nothing to lose except your time
yea you can't compare those roms
sense vs. clean 2.2 vs. clean 2.3
depending on what u prefer
some like sense, some like a full stable 2.2, some like to play test person and use 2.3 nightly
I used PNK22 for my day to day rom. For a time had no real problems with it other then no camara yet, this was and still is the only reason i am not using it today..

good
just a question..there's update manager or something like this in the CM7?
I mean, if I install build 18 then build 19 is released how can I upgrade?
download it from thread and flash or use rom manager (the paid version) to get notified and download it on your mobile + update

by simply installing the zip, you dont need to wipe anything as long as only a small amount has changed. Using rom manager or rebooting into recovery and installing zip with that will work.
but, if there is a large change you will need to wipe data etc. Just make sure you dont wipe your sd card
can someone give me a link to the "stable" version of cm7? the development forum is a bit confusing cause there are too many links of CM7 and I can't understand the one you are talking about
h t t p ://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
There is not yet a stable ROM of CM7 for Desire HD.
I'm running Nightly Build #14 smoothly.

i loved CM7, but i also liked the integration with sense so i went with revolution, but i prefer the gingerbread keyboard
I'm currently running Android Revolution 2.0.8 with a few customisations of my own and I love it. That said I can't use a ROM which doesn't have Sense UI.
If I could put up with not having the additions that Sense UI adds to a ROM, I'd probably be using a CM7 nightly.
It's Revolution 2.0.9 now (fast developer ), but I find this best for my needs personally. It's all about individuality, so try each one you like the look of and stick with the one that works best for you.
Hi everyone,
I just bought an i927, and I'm really looking forward to installing some custom ROMs. Above all, I'd love to see a MIUI rom for this device. MIUI is hands down my favorite Android flavor. What do you think about these instructions for creating a "MIUI PatchROM"?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483332It looks to me like it should be possible to MIUI-ify an existing stable ROM for the i927 with this method. What do you think?
Thanks, cheers.
interesting if you will to do this I would recommend you use the "[07.06.12]Osimood v2.06.07" ROM as that one is based off of 2.35 and has all bloat removed. Will make for a good starting point for you. you can find it at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462298 good luck and I hope you get it working MIUI is a nice looking ROM

That would be interesting, but it's dated february and based on GB.
I think we should consider basing it on ICS: CM9 is coming, it should be easier (assuming CM9 works well).
Hmm, I was also wondering if those instructions would work for ICS too. I know that MIUI is currently running with the ICS base on other devices.
As for me, I doubt I have the skills to pull this off.
Is this still stands? It would be really cool to have MIUI v4 on the glide!
Someone recently mentioned wanting to give it a try in the CM10 topic, so it seems it's on!

Unfortunately I think I'm too dumb to follow those sketchy instructions that I linked to, which assume a huge amount of knowledge of the Android base system and its frameworks. But, for those who have already created ROMs for the i927 or even other devices, I suspect it would be relatively easy.
I though I'd look into trying this! I'll need some help from some willing dev' s and Linux gurus!
So far I have followed the instructions from get hub, synced the patchrom. Following the command to adb pull "stockrom.zip" from my glide is getting errors and won't make the zip.
I'm currently running the new UCLJ3 ics update that is rooted, deodexed, and zipaligned, with litekernel v1.1. I'll have to redo the adb pull to get the error, can't remember what it was. It was at the end when it was about to make the zip.
If anyone is willing to help, I'll post the exact error later tonight after work!

It looks like CondemnedSoul's Kangdemnation v5 is the only ROM with the rotating softkey fix. Aeroevan's unofficial CM9 Rom used to have it but it hasn't been implemented in his past few releases. Also, the newer CM9 and CM10 Roms that have been released also don't have this fix (probably because they use Aeroevan's Rom as a base). Anyway, if someone can point me or set up a flashable zip file that we can install on top of the newer AOSP Roms, it'll be definitely appreciated! :highfive:
P.S.: I was told to put it here so excuse me if I posted the same question in another section :cyclops:

If the suggestion I gave you in the other thread didn't work then there isn't currently a tool available. So maybe someone will be nice and make it for you, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Yeah I responded to you in the other thread but that was deleted from the section. The fix you mentioned only fixes the issue with the softkey lights turning off really quickly instead of turning off when the screen turns off. It references another link where you can download some libraries but it's missing the key library to make fix the issue.
Thanks anyway!
Aero did have it working in most of the older cm9 builds and if you don't mind gb I believe he has them on his cm7.2 build. At the moment I know he is working mostly on cm10 across a few devices and he just recently got married so since the soft keys not rotating doesn't prevent them from working it is kind of far down on the list of things to work on. Just have patience I am sure they will be rotating soon enough as aero has done a fantastic job so far.
