It's not really stock android. It's close, but there's many improvements that work well with the system. OMFGB is much more vanilla than CM7. It's also 100% opensource (unlike sense roms and aosp roms like miui) which is useful if you care about more than the rom because you like to hack around on the source and don't trust certain roms like miui (no offense, but I am not using a rom made by chinese with no source given, just too creepy for me as far as how much control you are giving them aside from the fact they give back nothing to the community).

For the OP's information, there's plenty of information out there (including articles on wired and many screen casts on youtube) about CM7, besides their own site/wiki/forums/irc channel
[Thunderbolt General] phooky:
there is much about cm7 that you don't know.

start here for a very small list of features... http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features

but this list barely scratches the surface. none of my favorite features are even listed here, and the cyanogen settings menu has literally hundreds (thousands?) of additional modifications you can make to your device.

i flashed cm7 for the first time about a month ago, and i won't ever be able to run sense again. i've been converted
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
yeah tons of features you only wish other roms had most of the time. I love the media track skip via the volume buttons with the screen off (similar to what blackberry does). Makes it way easier to switch songs or repeat one when you are running.
[Thunderbolt General] stopswitch:
Its cause we want android without all the battery hogging and performance issues associated with crap like motoblur, sense, touchwiz etc. Plus cm7 has so much more features than being basically a asop rom. Its provides a lot of customization with your phone, which is what andrioid is all about.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Everything just works on CM7. I can use wimotes for my emulators.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I like the simplicity of stock-ish Android and all the tweaks and customizations CM offers. Sense is nice and all but way too heavy for my enjoyment.
[Thunderbolt General] mmxz3ro:
I've only used CM7 on my nook color and was very impressed by its responsiveness and options. I heard of using Android OS's with overlapping UI but I figured this would only hamper on the overall user experience. I'm def open to different versions of Android for tablets. Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt General] nucher:
Hello my name is _________, and I'm addicted to CM7..............

Another cool factor is that it's available for so many different phones. I had CM7 on my EVO with Sprint. When I got my Thunderbolt I immediately rooted it and flashed CM7. There is a CM7 build for every major carrier in the U.S., So as long as you chose a supported phone your not stuck with some crappy user interface or an older version of Android. The main reason I chose the Thunderbolt over other Verizon 4G phones was that there was a CM7 ROM for it, but then again I'm an addict.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
really? Then why are there all these threads about what is broken on cm7?

Some of my favorite features:

- skip tracks w/vol keys

- swipe notification bar to adjust brightness

- lockscreen gestures

- custom long press home/menu/search options

- long press back to kill current app

- hundreds of themes easily switched via Theme Chooser

- incoming calls in background when screen on

- permission management

- any app to sd

- built in performance and overclocking settings

...just to name a few. The real question is why do so many people have such a deep hatred of CM7? If you don't like the ROM you don't like it. Why make such a big stink out of it? If others want to like it then let them be :)

[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i remember putting CM on the first phone i rooted, the MyTouch 3G... and it was the only one i ever used on that phone. This time around, i've experimented and tried out just about every single ROM for the TB. This time i would say that Synergy is my fav only because i managed to get better battery life with it then CM7(and its overclocked).

that plus, i know its ridiculous but i prefer for the green light to come on when the battery is at 100%, not 90%(yes i know that's just how AOSP ROMs are). im just use to going "oh green light, time to unplug".
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
who says we hate cm7? I just said it wasn't the best thunderbolt ROM. It's quite buggy as far as cm7 builds go.

I guess my point is that if this is your first time using cm7, would you be defending it as much.
[Thunderbolt General] jesusice:
Like I said, if you like it you like it. If you don't you don't. Starting threads calling out a particular ROM seems a little haterish.

[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I think he was just looking for pros and cons of the ROM more than calling it out.

Thread is not titled

"CM7 Sucks!"
[Thunderbolt General] andr0id23:
I rarely use CM, but I think it is a really good ROM, with a good team behind it. Also, basically anyone who is into rooting/romming/modding their Android phone owes something to the CM team, in one way or another. I personally don't like it because, and this is hard to explain, it is almost too good. Lol. It feels like a stock, out-of-box software. I know there are tons of settings, and it runs great often times, but it just lacks the pizazz that I'm looking for. Not like overly flashy drag your phone down kinda stuff, but just a little something extra.

That being said, I, again, really appreciate the rom. I am currently using it on my Thunderbolt until we get some ROMs based off of the OTA if it ever comes, and have also used it on my D1 and Incredible.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
That's not an official Honeycomb wallpaper, at least not that I know of.

You can grab them all here. The one I use is Glowy Hex, looks awesome on my Tab:

The beauty is that you don't need to rebuild the launcher2.apk to insert those images... if you sync your tablet with a Google account, all you have to do is upload your preferred wallpaper to Gallery and use it as background.

If you ever flash your tablet or do a permanent erase, once you restore your Google account, it will also restore your background even if the image is not present anymore in your tablet sdcard. I was surprised to see that, when I did a complete wipe. :) It took a while, but eventually the background popped... I don't remember if it showed after I restarted the tablet... I know that after the initial app re-sync it was not there but it showed like magic 15-20min later on my tablet.

Just curious, I was noticing on one of the "Update" threads that someone had a A500 bought in the US but was living in NZ, and he recently got the OTA .42 update - my question is directed to anyone who has traveled with their A500 internationally - has your device received a local OTA, then OTA when you got home?

As I'm off to Perth in about a week I'm wondering if I should be turning off auto updates (or at least rejecting any AUS update I get while in country)? Will there be any functionality issues (GPS maybe?) if you take your US A500 into a different country and stay on your US update?

If anybody could provide me the way to flash the new radio I would love them. Thank you.

If i do three or four back ups one somtimes works
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Your recovery could be glitched. You could try reflashing it via PC36IMG file in the bootloader. Also make sure you have $500mb free storage for the backup, otherwis that could cause it to fail as well, causing it to be corrupted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyy:
Hello,

Today I flashed darky 10.2 onto my sgs i9000m (running darky 10.1) WITHOUT configuring the darky app to replace the modem and the kernel. Now when the phone boots it shows the new darky 10.2 animation with the floating letters followed by the glowing Darky's Rom title, which remains until I remove the battery. I've noticed that the black darky's rom title screen is like an overlay, since i can still hold down the lock key to open the power menu (even though i cant see it, I can feel the vibe when it opens). Once, I saw the screen try to display in landscape mode - part of it was covered by the overlay and the other part showed the rotary lockscreen.

I've been trying to flash the 10.2 darky resurrection rom through odin, but the phone is no longer detected in download mode! This is consistent over every usb port in two different computers that previously worked perfectly with odin. I also have all the latest drivers through kies and through the standalone driver pack.

This is ruining my (already bad) day! Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

*update

the phone is literally mocking me. It started playing my music somehow. beyond that i can sometimes answer calls by sliding where the call bar would be, and I can talk to people. It seems, other than the phone not being detected by odin, the only problem is that the Darky's Rom overlay won't go away...

*update 2

the song that my phone keeps playing is the text notification alert, it must've been set after the rom flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
Try deleting your drivers and plug your phone in and let it install new drivers by itself. By the way, does your computer tells you that your USB device is malfunctioned?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyy:
Thanks for your reply. I deleted the drivers and plugged it in, good news is the pc detected it being plugged in, not through odin, but just through the taskbar. It can't find the drivers on it's own however, so i'm stuck again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Try cleaning the usb port with rubbing alcohol and make sure kies agent is not active in task manager processes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyy:
Neither of these helped :(. So I'm finding that the main problem is that the Darky's Rom title page will not go away. I can play with the volume, recieve texts, and get vibration feedback from the buttons when the phone has finished booting, the only problem is i can't see through the darky title page.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
hmm,

Well I know the frustration. I've spent days on similar issues. What comes up on the PC? Unknown device? That is what mine was right before I got a clean connection (which would mean its close?) did you clean everything (computer port, cable connections, phone connections)?

I would do all those again, then download the standalone drivers (google them) and then disable or even uninstall kies.

Try another usb port on the computer (I recall some people found the rear ones work better - but I only had a laptop so ??).

but let us know what the PC says.

Sorry! I see you did half of the above. Well I'd still do it all over again, cleaning, standalone packs, etc.

Can you get to recovery and try a wipe? I assume you can get to the download screen - just not recognized?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyKnight:
Did you forced a wipe in the recovery menue.

As i understand you SGS is booting and running.

So try to go in the recovery mode and wipe everything, clear cache and format sd card.

May this helps.

Second:

May you can install a different theme via CWM in recovery menue.

May this solve the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastyy:
I don't believe it, I scrubbed around in the micro usb slot some more and now odin detects the phone properly! I spent hours trying all kinds of solutions but all it took was a little more thorough cleaning. I'm flashing the 10.2 resurrection through odin and will update when I find out if it works. In the meantime, thanks to all who replied, this forum has saved me numerous times because of great people like you!

So I rooted my phone a few months ago but there weren't many mods out yet, so I waited until just today. I saw this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1157593

I followed everything until I got to the part where I had to go into recovery mode, but before I was supposed to reinstall packages to get into CWM I accidently clicked on delete all user data and delete cache date because I misunderstood. So I got into CWM after and followed it and rebooted but nothing happened and the SGS4G screen just goes on and off. I didnt know what to do so I gave this a try. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

I thought it would bring my phone back to stock and rooted because I couldnt recover or restore anything. It just put me in a more confused situation. When I reboot in recovery or just turn the power button on, the SGS4G screen goes on and off still.

So all I can do is this. Go to recovery. reboot,reinstall,delete user data or cache data. It says "signature verification failed" then "installation aborted" when I reinstall packages. And like I said, when I reboot the system all it does is the SGS4G screen problem.

Is there a way to start me fresh to a stock and rooted point? I dont think I have any files or anything on my phone anymore(if that is possible). I wanted to try this over again, but correctly obviously :D

Thanks for any help. I really need my phone soon

Were you in download mode when you used Odin? It should have worked. Make sure that it shows a yellow symbol with the android alien holding a shovel.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mrchovee:
Thanks for the reply! And yeah i was in download mode. Odin said it went through and it lead my phone into recovery phone. After that I rebooted but I'm still experiencing the SGS4G screen going on and off still. Nothing else loads.

How did you set up Odin? You got the correct file loaded into the PDA box?

u can get that out of the cwm final thread and push it to system/bin folder overwrite the one dont replace it :P that will solve that issue for u
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mrchovee:
I did exactly what the thread for Odin said. I already had the 64bit drivers installed. I downloaded the link that was provided for the ROM and then Odin. The rom took a while to download but it finally did. After that I held both volume buttons and then plugged in the usb and then it went into download mode. After that I opened odin and then clicked on PDA. The only thing that I could click on was the non-extracted rom that I downloaded aforementioned above.Gave it time to download and it said successful. Then I rebooted once it sent me to recovery mode. It also states to try and do it without sim and sd card in the phone which i just tried. It went through as well, but still has the SGS4G going on and off
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mrchovee:
I would try that but idk how i would be able to push it into the system/bin folder when all my phone is letting me do is go into recovery mode
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nOl3ell:
Did u flash ext4 yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bytesfree:
A suggestion for you.

If you can get into Down load mode which it sounds like you can, I would use ODIN to flash KC1 with its pit, PDA, Phone and CSC files and let it fully load up. Then ODIN Whitehawk's deoxed KD1 + root and try to flash your other ROM again.

It is very hard to hard brick these phones. Always take care to make sure the mount points in recovery are set to unmount, mount, mount and finally unmount when instructed to do so.

If your getting stuck with the ext4 section which causes this boot loop alot, what I have done is to disable voodoo lagfix, reboot into the newly flashed ROM then go back into recovery and enable voodoo. Has always worked for me.

This is my first post so I apologize if I don't make any sense lol. I develop android apps for a medical software company and I'm wanting to start creating ROMs to help out this great community.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
icbinb is a great rom. you will definitely have to odin, as bytesfree says. you should use kc1 by raver. after you odin kc1, boot up normally and let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. then get a root manager, such as super manager or root explorer. download the 2 files from krylons final cwm thread. move both to the proper location using the root manager. make sure the recovery file is named properly. if it has the extra .bin extension in the filename, remove it. then shut down the phone, reboot into recovery, go to reinstall packages and the orange cwm will load. once that loads up, factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and check the mounts (u,m,m,u), go to install from sd card, flash the ext4 converter immediately followed by icbinb. all of these zip files should be on the root of your sd. let me know how it goes.

if you get it to flash, remember to leave the phone sitting for 10-15 minutes in order for it to settle in.

also, bytefree, welcome to xda. glad to have you contributing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bytesfree:
As Jager said, ICBINB and others such as Black Ice are great ROMS with lots of tweaks and features. The guys that create these ROMs are awesome in their intellect and programming abilities. Mrchovee, once you get the hang of the steps required to flash a ROM it becomes second nature, just keep at it and don't let a gimped flash bring ya down man. As I said before, these little phones are hard to brick.
