Alright, I installed the CM7 by Alquez, and of course it didn't boot. So I switched to jmz's kernel, and I got it to get to the boot screen. It has the CM7 logo and it's doing it's thing, but I figured it wouldn't fully boot. Anyways, so my question is.....
How can I get a stable and fully working CM7 on my Wildfire S CDMA by VM. Is there a way where I can just replace a working kernel or do I have to wait, or even try my hand at modding.
If I've got to try it for myself, could someone link my to a guide on how to start editing the files and all that.
Thanks.
Edit: Just got it to boot. There are graphical glitches and no data. but everything else seems to be working fine. Except the camera.
The only cm7 that works on cdma/MarvelC is simonsimons34 cm7 wip Rom, the only thing that dosent work is camera, it does not come rooted when you flash it. The Rom you flashed that had glitches is a gsm Rom

Obviously I understand that. What I was asking is... Is there a kernel that allows me to use Alquezs build. I'm new, but not entirely new to this stuff. I was just wondering if his build would work on CDMA models because it states in the post that it's a kernel problem. At least to my understanding.

What radio are you on - latest or the .9 or .7, and, are you using the kernel in Lou's ROM, or something other? If a different (non-stock) kernel, maybe try the stock one found in the Virtuous section or ROM manager. Radio is self-explanatory - there's a fine radio thread here on XDA.
Please post results/issues in the fix so others may benefit from your experience.
I would try something like Virtuous ROM and see if it works okay. His ROM is rock solid.

Agree w/ ejdavis' guidance - also check which version of the radio you are running.
The Virtuous ROM uses the stock kernel too.

Look for and follow the very good Radio thread here on XDA - following it as directed should not brick your device. The only way to know whether this solves your problem, or eliminates the radio from the list of issue candidates, is to flash it.
I am looking for dev help with this project. I am currently working on trying to get a successful compiled build. This is my first attempt at something like this. Please PM me if you are interested, Thanks!
im pretty sure i flashed the evervolv for the other gs2 on my tmo version and it worked just fine. like a lot of roms
I know that xboarder56 was working on one, but thats the skyrocket and his device tree thats released is not complete/finished. A lot of stuff was not working in it as well. I am looking to compile it specifically for the t989/hercules.
Why doesn't everyone mention the very hard to find zip your supposed to flash with it?

xboarders build definitly works on the t989 I flashed it just to check it out and it worked fine as far as what was supposed to be working. I was able to browse the net with the browser via wifi. Last I checked it was far from done though. It still is a promising sign and funny thing was rotation worked fine and I didnt flash any different kernel. Oh and what is this very hard to find .zip you are talking about? I havent heard anything about that yet.
There is no secondary zip required. If you have the ROM zip you can flash it just like normal and it works on our phone. I say it "works" meaning that it boots, loads the apps on it and is very responsive. The camera, SD card and GSM are not there yet, though.

Ok, if an ICS rom existed that was fully working then I would not be posting this. Hence why I posted this. This is a thread asking for help from others to get a fully working daily rom going.

I am currently working on the rom. However, I have no ETA for release. You can watch my github @ https://github.com/mikeyman77
I have compiled CM9 for the wildfires CDMA and have got it to boot. There is still alot wrong with it but this is taking over the CM7 project i was doing before this. I may go back and get CM7 stable when this is done though, just because I hate leaving things unfinished.
Anyways, so far I have used alot of modpunks folders and kernel and modified them to work with the cdma version of the wildfire s. Its still being worked on heavily however. If you would like to compile the rom, instructions below follow. Of course you will need to have the environment already ready to compile roms.
::::NEW::::
I set out to fix wifi, And in turn I actually fixed a lot of things. Enough that I classify it as a beta, so seeing as that. Download link is below. Please, only report logcats or unknown problems. Thanks
Code:
mkdir ~/cm9
cd ~/cm9
repo init -u git://github.com/simonsimons34/android.git -b ics
repo sync -j12
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch 5
make -j2 bacon
Note this rom doesnt function well but does boot. If you'd like proof a precompiled rom is located here in this folder. I will make them whenever i build a change, and send them off to my testers.

camcorder (video its in the libs)
Anything else, let us know!
Beta2test2:
Wifi fixed
wifi tether fix attemt (needs conferm)
camera/bt still broken
better HWA added in kernel and rom
Beta1test1:
took a go at fixing wifi and camera, could of made it worse needs testing
changed firmware for wifi
fixed line in buildprop
changed kernel config to try to fix wifi
Beta 1:
What Doesn't Work:
Camera
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
HQvideo is buggy (blame non opensource libs)
What Does Work:
Everything Else
unless I got some rotten downloads, neither one of those zips flash. (error 7)
That error 7 would be the recovery your using. I think i can say its not cwm official for cdma, yes?
works fine here when I tested it no mobile data wifi (maybe blue tooth) and no camera I'll test more tomorrow with logcats of everything

Why don't you just send me patches so we have just one tree instead of forking? Forking should normally only be the last option. There is a reason why the Liberty and Marvel have a common kernel tree. Less work and everyone gets the fixes.

I had issues as well. I flashed clockwork mod through rom manager and then I was finally able to flash the rom.
All I get is freezes and restarts, no matter how I try to flash with this official. It's quite ironic really. Something that will FINALLY get me to shut up, and I can't flash it....

Yeah I used to get a lot of freezes and restarts when I was a noob and did not know what I was doing wrong with the flashing until I figured out it was my recovery. My phone (CDMA) doesn't like CWM version 5.0.2.6 or 5.0.2.8 or whatever those versions are. I am using 4.0.1.5 and things flash fine without restart. I have not tried this ROM and will try it later when I get more time but if it's random restarts during flashing and backups, then change your CWM to version 4.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't, sorry that I misunderstood your problem.

One more thing while I'm on this thread, does the phone get recognized as an Android phone under this ROM? I know with Sense 3.5, it didn't and so I could not install Swype Beta and I can't live without swype on this small phone. Thanks to whoever answers this.

Rename the zip file. I've had this with twrp before and shoving a few _s on the end in front of the .zip seemed to work.
If that doesn't work I would normally rebuild but in your case you would re download so try that.

I use cm10 build 6, can I go ahead and pick a kernel to flash over the stock cm kernel?
Well the kernel you want must be compatible with the rom you are using and your device. For example if you are on CM10 you must flash kernels built for CM10/jelly bean. Otherwise you will get boot loops.
There might be some kernels for CM10 in the development section of Galaxy wonder.

It's better to stay with the same Kernel, from my point of view, I guess if you shared with us why do you wanna change the Kernel, there might be a solution for your problem, a friend of mine Flashed a different kernel and it was supposed to be compatible, but still he had problems and he flashed everything back again.
I wanted to use other governors. Btw I flashed a new kernel and it seems fine as of now

Good for you, as long as everything is working smoothly, then good luck with the new Kernel:good:
is it really just limited by CM9/CM10? Like if I am using acro's cm9 RC6 and the kernel was released after RC7 was released, maybe some of the extra features in RC7 causes a slightly different coding for the kernel which of course may cause problems if you use it on RC6?
also i suppose there's no need for clearing data/cache, fixing permission etc when flashing kernel right?
sorry if I'm not supposed to ask questions in a question. I just feel this is relevant to the title and i feel that it is better when people can just read this post and learn more about kernels. The list of how-tos in the dev section has not much details on kernels

Nope no problem at all. You can even flash R7 kernel on every previous version of arco cm. as long it is for the same android version
No need to do that. But just to play everything save it is better to do wipe cache and dalvik no need to wipe data

So, I've got the ugly duckling of the Defy line(but I love it), the Defy Pro XT560. I was able to root using some adapted steps from a Motorola Motoluxe procedure(http://bruno.tuy.com.br/blog/?p=173, not in english). I'm wondering if anyone knows if this would mean there's a chance the phones are similar enough to possibly, maybe, someday get an updated ROM on the thing?
Similar? Not. Screens are not similar, hardware keyboard. I dont think its possible cuz of the screen resolution. It will be a pain in the "face".
I don't know enough about it. Apps seem to work fine with the resolution...is there a good guide for rom cooking somewhere? Maybe I'll play around myself since I doubt I can find anything that'll work with the phone.
Most of the apps are able to run on many devices cuz they support different resolution. It has nothing to do with the ROM.

What is the fundamental issue with a different resolution?
Check some ROM porting guide. Its written there that you have to choose ROMs with the same resolution cuz it will be easier to port. It means that u cant use the same ROM on 2 different phones with different resolution.

Yes, we are very interesting with CM7 ROM - I had used it on my ChaCha and it was very nice. But, I believe that if I want to install custom ROM, I must have CWM Recovery (custom recovery) already installed, isn't it?
Sorry for my bad English .
CWM is installed using the Bootmenu installer. Right now I am running CM 7.2 off my SD card so I can dual boot. To access bootmenu cleanly I am currently using battery_charger mode,but, I have been able to get into CM7.2 using the first run service vpnmanagerpm. also. I still need to get the camera working, but, hope to have something up soon.

not all of us can post there
maybe you should look into particulars(and post them) about instructions in number 2 and installing 2ndinit
Ok, sorry about that. The bootmenu installer takes care of installing the initial 2ndinit for you. The rom has 2ndinit built in for future boots. You just need to connect your rooted phone and run the batch file.

maybe others can say something
tryied with and without adb, with and wihout drivers, with two different phones and with 2 xp pc.
maybe something is't right with installer, or it is necessary use other os or to install something for it to work?
The installer needs to access adb. So either set your path to include the adb location or copy adb to the same directory as the installer script.
