Ok people - just because we're nice.

Now you can install CM7 via ROMManager from a rooted Froyo as well as get updates via ROMManager once on CM7. Look for it under the ROMs for your device, it'll be under Teamhacksung. If you don't see it yet, wait a bit - things are still uploading, syncing.
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
Thanks man, downloading update now.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
Thanks man. This is really progressing nicely. Great job.
[Vibrant Android Development] boothten:
I know it's been discussed, but the instructions don't mention this at all.

Is there anything we should be doing everytime we do an update?

Factory wipe/any other sort of wipe?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
You forgot FORMAT /SYSTEM.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
not needed, Factory Reset/Data Wipe should be fine
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
See my post above for what happens when I try to flash manually from CWM 2.5.1.2
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
@creeve4

try odin back to stock and updating recovery to green CWM 2.5.1.2, flash a diff kernel like bali 1.8.8 and try it from the red recovery but still stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
Tried again:

It worked this time (except for a bootloop)

1. ODIN'd to stock JFD

2. Powered off and booted to recovery

3. Installed CWM Recovery 2.5.1.2

4. Installed EDT's Deodexed KB5 with root

5. Rebooted to recovery

6. Factory Reset/Data Wipe

7. Wiped Cache and Dalvik

8. Flashed nightly 157

9. Bootloop after "Checking state of BML/MTD..."

10. Pulled battery

11. Booted to recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6 installed!!!)

12. Wiped/Reset

13. Flashed build 157 again, it worked!!

Really weird on the bootloop

UPDATE:

Everything is still working well
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I have always had to double flash cm7 in the same cwm session when installing for the first time after a fresh odin. So far Build 157 works fabulous after a fresh odin and double flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] enzomtrx:
I've always wiped system on this phone some phones are different and when flashing the ROM itself might wipe certain things but from my understanding /system wiped IS needed...can't say I've had too many issues with CM7 installing.
[Vibrant Android Development] leungda:
Can someone tell me where is "Google voice recognition settings"?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
It helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
You don't have to disable Voodoo before flashing CM7. I always flash from a 2.2 Voodoo Rom and I never had a problem. The way I do it is: I go to mounts and storage and format System, Data, and Cache. Then I do a factory reset, then I wipe Cache Partition. Then I wipe Davlik and fix permissions then I flash CM7. Doing it this way works everytime for me. Give it a try. Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Flashing another rom before flashing cm7 is 100% pointless.

As long as you wipe data and format /system first you're starting from scratch anyway.

Odin to 2.1 and start from there with update.zip. don't even bother rooting the 2.1 as that accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Format system, wipe data again after flashing gapps, let it sit for 5-10 mins before setting up, and cancel the market search pop-up.

Follow my directions and you will be stable.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Best advice. Save OCLF and Rom Manager to sdcard. Everytime you go back to JFD, root with OCLF and flash recovery with Rom manager, then flash CM7. Bypassing EDT and additional steps.
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
Format /system, period. That step has fixed my force close issues among other things.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
See above. Update.zip gets you into clockwork and doesn't need root.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
I don't flash a 2.2 Rom before flashing CM7 everytime. I was just saying that you can do it without disabling Voodoo and it will still work. Most of the time Odin to JDF then flash CM7, but I always do all of the steps I indicated first and it works for me everytime.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Really? I wasn't aware you didn't need to root to flash recovery. That makes it even easier now!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
I miss CM7 so much but the browser an battery suck :( loce this ROM CM9 Ftw
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
You don't flash recovery, clockworkmod just puts an update.zip on root of sdcard and then you reinstall packages.
[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
How to install CM7 on Vibrant from CM wiki...

Method via Recovery

1. Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.

Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.

2. Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.

Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.

3. Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
4. Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
5. Select the option to [B][U]Wipe data/factory reset[/U][/B].
6. Then select the option to [B][U]Wipe cache partition[/U][/B].
7. Select Install zip from sdcard.
8. Select Choose zip from sdcard.
9. Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.

Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.

10. Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Vibrant should now boot into CyanogenMod.

Formatting anything is not needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] engineer14:
hi, i have tried installing the google apps addon through rom manager, but it doesnt seem to work.

First time i tried it (selecting cwm 3.x as my cwm version) it went through the process, but when rebooted, put me on the emergency dial screen. Had to reflash cm7

second time i tried it, it went through the process, rebooted, but nothing changed.

the version of android i have is 2.3.7 while the google apps add on is for 2.3.5, think that is the problem? any way around it?

thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
That's what I meant :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Oh ok, awesome, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
I have had this happen to me also and the way around it was to download the Google apps and flash them through recovery. Should be a link to them in the OP, if not you can probably just Google them, :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
The link was removed from the OP long ago. It's in the OP of the stable release thread though.

Link to the other thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] ew:
How do I get to the Samsung Service Mode (or can I get to it) in nightly 157 or later.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I was wondering the same thing. I noticed there was no service mode apk in 157 but there is one in 158. Is there any way to enter service mode without entering dial code? I just opened service mode with dial code and saw the audio handset sections. Does anyone know how to increase handset and speakerphone volume in service mode? What setting need changed and to what value. By the way 158 is super fast and stable with platypus!
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I installed nightly 157 manually (flashed the update zip from CWM Recovery), which updated the recovery to 5.0.2.6.

I have since installed ROM Manager, but it shows that I do not have a CWM recovery installed.

How do I get ROM Manager to recognize the 5.0.2.6 recovery that CM7 installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] Se7eN43:
here's an app that is no longer in the market. it worked with 154 but didn't have any options with the menu button. could you verify that it does in 158? im waiting for my phone to fully charge before i flash to 158. here's also a reference to editing outputs within the "diamond solution" menu.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735918
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
The menu works perfect in 158 but I can't find away to input changes. Nice app btw thanks. Why does the cm7 included Samsung service mode apologize not show up in launcher?
[Vibrant Android Development] Se7eN43:
i meant when you hit the menu button on your phone, within samsung service mode, you should have options pop up in which one of them is for inputting. i take it does not give you any options?
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
No options in menu to change.
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
So I see current stable is the one before 150. Is 99mb or so normal for a cyanogenmod? Seems half the size of anything else I've dabbled with.

I tried once before and I had all sorts of errors. Home button not doing anything, missing system apps, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Yes it is normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
That's why cm is so fast. No bloat.
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Nice, my home button actually does something now.

What are some of the issues with this?

Im coming from SimplyHoney and that had a bunch of awkward issues like random reboot when on the phone under 40% battery, and coming back to 15%, etc
[Vibrant Android Development] zenlakin:
Can someone confirm that both Bluetooth is working and that they are able to charge completely to 100% and able to successfully recondition their battery??

I have reflashed several times and still no go...
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Well seems super compass wont work.

Black screen and if i force close, phone vibrates nonstop until I pull the battery out..

I take that back, just hangs at the boot animation forever.

Nice to see only 45 minutes in and I have to factory reset it. Always a good sign..

Default videoplayer seems crap.

Whats the best suggestion for taking one from another rom? I tried dropping a videoplayer.apk into sys/app from simply honey and it just force closes.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I can confirm all the above
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
super compass installs and works fine for me.

As for the video player, Dropping in touch whizz apps almost never works since they need touch whizz

There are several on the market that may meet your needs.
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:

Cannot find mobile networks

after going from a froyo, to the nightly cm_vibrantmtd_full-158, my phone does not recognize the mobile network, thus unable to make calls.

did anyone have this issue? please help, i love the cyanogen mod, this is my first time, i really would like to keep it, see how it goes
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
Ehh, already not liking the sound of this.

Super compass data wiped, uninstalled, reinstalled fresh, same ****. instant black screen. If I wait, it will sometimes offer to force close. if I hit power, it shows power off animation but will never turn back on. If I press any of the face buttons it begins vibrating forever.

As for video players, I tried the majority of players out there already and didn't like them. Guess I'll have to give them another try.

And I noticed no gmail. And this is after I installed gapps.

Seems the last factory reset made it mad. Installed gapps twice and nothing. Had to go to market and grab it manually.

It was up and running prior to the factory reset.

Random reboots

Does anyone else experience random reboots? Mine happen at night 90% of the time and they typically will hang during the reboot and require a battery pull. It's not specific to any build, as I load new nightlies every couple days and the problem persists. I'd advice is much appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] tbrar:
Try rebooting. If that doesn't help download some other modem and flash it.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Have you under/over clocked your phone if yes reset to default and test. If not then its probably to due to remnants of some app which is causing that. Try odining back to stock and reinstalling cm7. Also don't restore /data. I have been using cm7 from quite some time and the recent nightlies a pretty stable havent seen a random reboot for quite some time
[Vibrant Android Development] Thelgow:
I dont think I'm destined for using cyanogen for long.

Unplugged phone at work, 94% battery. Went across the street, set up a new user's pc, blackberry and a 2nd monitor.

About 30 mins. I checked my phone, 62% and so hot I almost dropped it when I pulled it out of my case.

Pulled battery, restarted and down to 58%..
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Flash gapps.

[Vibrant Android Development] kas21:
I haven't under/over clocked since being on CyanagenMod , but I have on other ROMs. I have done full system wipes but have not tried going back to stock and then flashing CyanagenMod again. I have never restored /data or /system. The only restores I usually do are of individual apps via TB.

I'll Odin back to stock and give it another shot.

/fingers crossed
[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
As mentioned several times the past few days, format /system.

I don't care what a CM7 Wiki says to do or not do. People that have been running CM7 for a long time are giving advice on how to make it stable.

Format system and do NOT restore App or System Data. To be on the safe side, download your apps from the market again instead of restoring from Titanium. CM7 is stable, if it isn't on your device, it's user error.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
i never had a problem restoring app from Titanium on cm7. app only, not data. the only thing that made me leave cm7 is the battery life. so i see alot of people saying its stable now so i might give it another try.
[Vibrant Android Development] creeve4:
I plug my phone into the charger at night, when I wake up the battery is around 80-90%

With Froyo the battery would stop charging at 100%, but then start charging again when the battery dropped below 95%, so I would have at least 95% (usually 100%) when I unplugged it in the morning.

CM7.1 is not doing this. It seems that the battery is charging to 100% then charging shuts off. Is this a CM7 thing, a kernel thing, or a Gingerbread thing?

More importantly, is there a fix to get Froyo-like charging behavior?
[Vibrant Android Development] s44suman:
I have always restored apps plus data through titanium backup not a single problem.... only problem is less battery life but cm7 has soo many features which i loveee so no complainsss at all :)
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:

Wind Mobile CM7 Issues?

Any other members on Wind Mobile in Canada using this ROM? I have run into a few specific issues and I would like to know if others have experienced them as well or if it is related to my install.

1) Wind Away (i.e. roaming) does not work at all. I am unable to connect to any of the roaming networks. I receive "SIM not allowed on the network".

- prior to installing CM7 my roaming was working fine.

2) The SIM Toolkit always returns the error "Proactive command rejected by ME"

3) On reboot of the phone it fails to connect to Wind Home (network 302490) and I manually have to select the network. (I did see one other user report this issue)

I have tried the stable release, some of the nightlies, and different kernels (Bali, Glitch).

Issue #1 is the only one that really matters, but I thought I would check on the others as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] tbrar:
Try changing modem. My friend had a similar problem changing the modem fixed it.

Try installing google apps through rom manager if that doesn't work download it from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip and flash it through recovery. If it still force closes try wiping Dalvik cache and cache.

I installed the 7.1.0.1 ROM onto my phone and I'm having an issue with the external SD card. It doesn't seem to be recognized by the phone. I've tried flashing/reflashing the ROM, ODINing back to stock and then flashing the ROM, flashing Bionix 1.3.1, then flashing the ROM, nothing seems to work. I just can't get it to see the external SD card. Is there a trick to it that I'm missing?

You can use the sdcard for ether emmc or as sdcard one or the other. Changed in cm settings/application/use international storage. Need to reboot after changing.
[Vibrant Android Development] YodaEXE:
Well, my issue was that the SD card wasn't recognized at all, so I couldn't even try to change things. However, I ODIN'd to stock, flashed a Bionix backup, booted into it and verified that I could see my SD card, then wiped everything, flashed CM7 again, and it works now.

might be a dumb question, but what would be the best suitable, proven kernel for these nightly CM7 Roms??? or the rom comes with its own kernel???

Having issues with external SD card as well... card is very problematic.
[Vibrant Android Development] tbrar:
Does the external sd card work fine with 2.2 Roms? If it does there are couple of things which you should verify: do you have 2.2/2.1 bootloaders. Try formatting the card and using it. If all these dont work try using older cm7 like v 145 or earlier. There were some changes in cm7 regarding how sdcard is being handled which could be the causing problem in your case.

if you have the time and energy, consider nandroiding and flashing back to stock, then doing a logcat against the radio and call 911, as in the bug report request.
