GENERAL INFORMATION AND HOW-TO INSTALL / UPDATE CM7​

Alright kids,

We are all very happy that CM7 finally came out to play. And we thank kmobs and the whole CM7 team for all the hard work. They are just... AWESOME! :D

But while we have that, we also have a lot of people that are either first time android users, or that are just too busy to follow the thread, or just are too lazy (nothing wrong with that, im lazy too :D )

So here is a guide on how to install CM7, and I will gather all the fixes from the other thread, and will also if I forget something - let me know what I am forgetting and will add it in this thread.

Now here we go:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am not to be held responsible if you brick your device following these guides. If you brick it - blame Santa, not me!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

INSTALLING CM7​

To install CM7 on your device, you need to first download it from HERE. Once you do that - please follow the next steps:

1. - Put the ROM on your SD card
2. - Reboot into CWM Recovery
3. - Do a Nandroid backup of your current rom. Just in case.
4. - Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. - Wipe Cache
6. - Go into Mounts
7. - Format /system
----- I always do that, and dont have a single issue..
8. - Flash your Rom
9. - Go into Advanced, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Fix Permissions
10. - Reboot phone

Alright, once you are done with the reboot, it will start loading the ROM. Let it be for around 10 minutes, so its done with everything. Dont set it up, Dont do ANYTHING. Just watch some youtube, or have a beer, or call that girlfriend of yours. Now after the 10 minutes are done (or at least 40 minutes if you talked with the girlfriend :D ) - reboot the phone again.

INSTALLING GOOGLE APPS​

Now its time to get Market, Gmail and all the other goods.

Here is the newest google apps - HERE

Now download the newest Talk with video - HERE

Once you do that - Put them on your SD card and reboot into CWM Recovery and follow the steps:

1. - Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM. Just in case things go south.
2. - Flash the Google Apps
3. - [B][I][U]AFTER THAT[/U][/I][/B] flash the gapps with new Talk
4. - Wipe Cache
5. - Go to advanced
6. - Wipe Dalvik Cache

Now set them up, and you are set. You have MARKET! :)

UPDATING FROM AN OLDER BUILD

​

If you already had the CM7 on your device, and want to install to the latest Alpha - follow the instructions:

1. - Download New Update
2. - Reboot into CWM Recovery
3. - DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!
4. - Install the new update
5. - Wipe Cache
6. - Go into Advanced, and wipe Dalvik Cache
7. - Reboot and enjoy the newest Alpha!
