[Defy General] Sivaguru:
I have updated my phone to the latest froyo provided for south east asian region. Is it possible for me to install CM7 without flashing with Nordic SBF or the UK one...
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
You will have no problems

All you need is an installed official froyo sbf of any country
[Defy General] llccool:
Thank you for reminding
[Defy General] DIDI2002:
I flashed a french froyo, wiped, rooted, installed 2nd init, installed cm7 nightly, installed gapps.

Everything works BUT skype, swype and some other apps keep crashing with "...closed unexpectedly". Also I can't play any videos with the built-in player. Any ideas where to look for fixes? I tried another froyo sbf, but with the same result
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
Hello didi

For video you can use mobo player

Skype............I dont know the solution

swype is not working for me too............Try installing again.........

Wait for beta7.....Tomorrow is 1st june..........i think it ll be released tomo

Quarx ll work on it.........Bcos swype is an must needed feature
[Defy General] DIDI2002:
thanks. no showstopper for me,

I was just wondering if it works for others
[Defy General] memz180:
Guys I've tried to install gapps numerous times the market never showed up for me with this cm7 beta 6

I would enter custom recovery

Install gapps

And still no market

Can you please tell me how to install CM7 if you are on MIUI ROM?
[Defy General] chanmo:
Maybe we cannot just use "any" 2.2 SBF as the base to install CM7. I was on the Hong Kong official 2.2.2 SBF (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1085997). After following the steps listed here to install CM7, my phone boot loops and the CM logo could not be shown. But it was fixed after I flashed the 3.4.2_177_nordic fixed SBF (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12956423&postcount=18).
[Defy General] hahahari:
How can I maintain the ability to revert to stock?
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
You can revert to stock by clearing and wiping data and cache and flashing an sbf
[Defy General] hahahari:
I read that revertin gis not possible if you flash a full sbf... kinda confusing... can you pls explain?
[Defy General] techofweb:

Its true best guide out there if you want cm7on your phone
[Defy General] Azimuth0r:
I installed CM7 using this guide but my Defy shows the Cyanogen Mod 7 boot logo continuously for over 30 minutes.

I though maybe I could try and re-flash it but holding down vol down and powering up it will only take me to the yellow exclamation mark. pressing on the lower right of the screen will not show recovery.

Has anyone else had this?
[Defy General] Dewman4life:
When you get to that instead of pushing lower right screen, push volume up and down at same time

[Defy General] klickig:

[Defy General] Azimuth0r:
Wow. This is simply AMAZING! I Love CM7!

I actually have an SGS Vibrant that has CM7 but I needed something for my GF. this phone was a decent price used and can run CM7. Now I have to test it to ensure the WAF is high enough before I give it to her.

Are we supposed to be able to flash with Clockwork Mod and Rom Manager?
[Defy General] awo23:
Hi, i got a strange error, installing zip from SD when in custom recovery:

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted

i tried starting with full sbf flash (nordic, italian and cee with wipe from stock recovery too)

rooted with superoneclick (rebooted)

installed 2nd init 1.4_2 (rebooted 2 times)

in custom recovery wipe date and wipe cache

install zip from SD....but no success

any idea?
[Defy General] awo23:
i answer myself, was an error with checksum transferring files from PC to SD:confused:
[Defy General] Ramonsterator:
Hey dudes!

I'm new here, and my native language is ukrainian, so.. don't blame me please! :))

So.

I have done these steps:

1. SBFed my Defy with shadow_defy_2.3.3_85_Orange.sbf - so I have Android 2.3.3

2. Rooted it with GingerBreak-v1.20.apk - perfect!

3. Installed SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk - ok!

Now, when I reboot, I get into Bootmenu, ->Recovery -> Custom, I get into Clockwork.

Then I press Wipe Cache, Wipe Data...

Then I press "Install zip from SD card", I choose file, phone thinks for a bit, and then

can't make /tmp/update_binary

what the heck?

I thought that there was insuficcient disk space, but I still have almost 1gb free..

help me please! I want CM7!!
[Defy General] gameputra:
Is it necessary to flash with 3.4.3-11 before installing CM7? my phone came with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7. I installed the CM7 over it......
[Defy General] thesoze:
Why should we use RSD lite? and to flash froyo and the gingerbread.apk for root

I just flashed the new CM7 Rom on my lover's Defy and she loves it. I was researching to find the easiest way before doing this and there are many methods.

I honestly did my own thing. And I was successful. Here's what I did.

1) yes, I backup'd sms, bookmarks (via apps), etc - made sure I had a good amount of space on the SD card.

2) used SuperOne Click 2.1.1 to root the Defy

3) downloaded 2nd init app from market and ran it - makes sure it's the option for CM ROMS - installs clockwork recovery on device

4) downloaded CM7 and google apps file and placed it in root directory of SD card

5) turned off phone and booted phone via -vol and power into recovery - I backup'd the ROM and then chose factory defaults(superfulous since I am going to wipe partition next) - wipe partition

6) then back to flash CM7 and then google apps

7) reboot and voila! it worked

8) via power button choose recovery to reboot - you'll get yellow trianlge so press both up.down vol to go into recovery

9) just in case - I cleared cache and Dalvik

10) reboot and you are done!

Thanks for everyone's instructions and ideas!!

A special Hurray! for the Cyanogen team and every involved!

Many thanks and cya soon!

EDIT:

Then I found this guide that was written before me

I have A Rooted Nexus One running STOCK GingerBread 2.3.4.

I've been trying to flash a couple of Deodexed ROMs through ClockWorkMod Recovery, so i can later flash Arabic RTL support... But after installing these ROMs, my phone stalls at the Nexus One logo... and i endup restoring my previous ROM.

Do I have to Unlock The Bootloader, for me to install a Deodexed ROM?!

Hi,

I am just wondering, i am rooting my Nexus one 2.3.3 and in the instruction it says "Also download and copy the SU program to your SD card and name it sd.zip."

My question is where do i get this file from?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Go to the "rooted" link in my signature, and take the Eclair/Froyo version
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masantula:
Isnt the Su file in your signature for froyo? And isnt 2.3.3 gingerbread? or it works?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The file in the thread that you want is: su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip It works for Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread.

Great, thanks alot for the help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdaburby:
im also rooting but grj22 build, what do i need to download to my sd before i unlock my boot loader?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
To unlock your bootloader, you don't need anything on the sdcard. To continue with rooting, you would need to have a custom recovery on your computer and use fastboot to install it after you unlock it, then flash the zip that was mentioned above (which would need to be on the sdcard) to actually root your phone from the custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdaburby:
can i use adb to put the file on the sd card i tried unsuccessfully and now my phone wont boot. but i still have bootloader and fastboot, also adb devices works? ugh , such a newb but it seems all is not lost, right?

ok col, now heres the kicker...i flashed recovery-RA-nexus-v2.1.1.img as my recovery , and im pretty sure i put cryogen 7 on the sd so i fudged it up pretty good.whats the best recovery to flash i, if had gingerbread 2.3.4 which came ota au natural? also im finding the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file either, anyone have a proper link to it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
If you're going to flash cm7 or ANY pre-rooted rom you do not need to bother with the su.zip. Just flash the rom from custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdaburby:
i keep getting the no img wrong img message in fastboot when i try to hboot?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Fastboot is used to flash the custom recovery. The recovery flashes the rom.

I can't understand your post in the first place so I dont know what is your actual issue.

But read the wiki.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackdaburby:
yes!!! it worked i knew i was close.

I have used and found this new rooting method with awesome recovery that totally works compared to clockworks mod 2.x and 3.x You can now use your phone as a usb device to access your memory card while in the custom recovery. and now most of the no we dont need are gone just one above and below yes are their! I was able to even flash the leaked ee03 leaked gingerbread build. This is so awesome.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
You can't be too mad at XDA. They want to promote open development here, and that means that they have to adhere to their own strict guidelines without fail. They cannot promote payment modeled websites, as that detracts from the idea of open-source how they present it. Furthermore, when a user comes to XDA looking for help and mods and what have you, they prefer to find it all in one place. Many people dislike coming here only to be bounced around to different websites and be forced to manage multiple online profiles towards one cause. Unfortunately, while Bonsai has maintained a free and open-source model, the model they have chosen strongly conflicts with XDA's standards and they cannot be a part of that without sacrificing the very thing that makes this site function, flaws and all.

Any drama beyond that, I am unaware of and do not understand.

Bonsai is a great project. Go to their website, enjoy it, but it can't be linked here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
I don't even think its about the donate to get early releease issue. I'm pretty sure it was only about registering to download even though registering is free xda I think wants it to be easy for members to download. Personally I don't care I've used bonsai and it is a nice rom. I've also donated to be an early tester but rules are rules.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Which just goes to show what is so terribly wrong with XDA, and why it has such a horrible reputation in the Android community

It can be phrased in any manner the runners of the site wish, but it all is the same thing.

An overt effort to crush any ability to get any information or help from anywhere but XDA

For supporting an open source platform, XDA is incredibly closed

Nothing to do with pay, as links to 100% free sites are blasted just as much as links to pay sites

And the need to "register" is simply more fluff and feathers, as everyone had to register for XDA as well.

And sadly, despite the Bonsai being 100% free to use and get stuff from, the link will be removed by the rules of this site, after all, can't maintain a Steve Job's like closed wall system, if you allow links to the outside.

It just flashes a recovery partition. You need a rooted rom to flash with. Much easier to use and should also be working on Gingerbread and Honeycomb as they develop the app. In essence it is a cross platform (Win 32, Win 64, Linux, OSX) tool that is expected to work with multiple devices.

Personally I think the whole issue is semantics. If you want to dl a piece of code from the download companies you need to register and often pay $ or you get thrown under the bus while waiting for all the regular customers to finish their business. Personally I would rather register somewhere where I can get something for free without a lot of hassle.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
If you did it over 3.0.2.5 that may have made a difference as Bonsai MasterKey was sourced and forked from that level of CWM. Perhaps using Masterkey on 3.0.0.6 causes the other issues. Personally I didn't alpha test MasterKey in this manner and would have to defer to my fellow testers as to the usability in this regard. Master Qu and mattallica where are you?

[Epic 4G Android Development] pulser_g2:
Closed. Per XDA rules, we don't carry links to "pay in advance for early access" sites, just as we don't allow it here at xda-developers.

The site has what we view as some commercial content, ie. if you donate a minimum of $5 you get access to content you won't otherwise get. Requiring a donation is in fact a payment as it is not voluntarily made after receiving the content. ie it is a commercial transaction.

Commercial sites may have links posted IF the link takes you directly to the free download.

Morning all :)

I'm getting a bit frustrated my the inability of the Samung music library to pick up and sort my mp3's into the correct albums :mad:

I have one album split into two albums, one with 6 tracks on, the other with 2 tracks on and then a number of individual songs with no artist name associated just a track number?

I've tried retagging them but can't really find a decent app for it... what do you guys use?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Xero Xenith:
On my PC I use EasyTAG (Linux only I think) and MusicBrainz Picard (cross-platform). The latter has the ability to take a fingerprint of any music file, match it up against its online database, and download complete ID3 information. It's generally accurate and a huge time-saver. :)

I don't know of any retagging apps for Android, though.

try this...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mrdo:
if you're using windows, try this - it's free :

http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html

it's important to make sure that each file only has a single set of tags rather than multiple tags which confuse applications. mp3tag can do all sorts of things like set your tags based on the filename and delete old tags.

Cheers lads, I'll check em all out asap...

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sckc23:
make sure the album title is exactly the same as a tiny differences (e.g. caps) might result in your situation.

mp3tag is great in recognizing and editing tags and i think it changes them all so you dun have to worry about v1/v2=)
