Does everyone here forget that cm is intertwined through almost every rom out there in some areas?? Aside from that its already been said what they have been working on as far as starting from scratch... you all sound (the negative ones) sound like a bunch of ungrateful spoiled rich kids with your perfection expectations... how many of you donated financially to cm team? They do this stuff for the love of the game and and don't get rewarded financially for it... so what's their incentive to even continue, especially if they read threads like this? Forget just them, any dev that reads a thread like this filled with ignorant posts would probably think twice before spending more time to bring the community something awesome... get over yourselves people... or build your own rom!

Did I forget to mention that your point of how cm functions on your phone becomes mute the second you decide to flash a custom kernal?

I for one can't wait for cm10 to come out...

[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
Lol. Yes. The CM Team got cocky :rolleyes:. Let's forget those guys took time out of their lives to bring us awesome customization which has been used in many roms and a bunch of other stuff. They don't/didn't have to provide us with anything. Now like I said, its up to choice but to anyone bashing the team, that's straight up disrespectful.

I'm a fan of CM, but when I comment, its unbiased. I look at the whole picture and how things have changed over time.

Not to start a war but why do some think the only opinion that can be given must be good? Do we forget that it's the bad opinions that get things improved? Don't get mad because someone has a negative experience, you're the one that sounds like the spoiled one.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
I don't know who is dumber. The troll op or some of the responses.

Did it catch on? Go to cm stats and look at the damn stats. You know the place where it tells you how many installs ( those that opt in for cm statistics) each damn device has .....

Not to mention all the kangs....

Did the most popular aftermarket android fw catch on? I guess no. Because some fools feeding a troll are running another ROM and those almost 7000 post and 1million views of cm9 dev thread along with cm stats only exist in the land of make believe.
[Nexus S General] SimDroid:
I agree with OP. I used to always run CyanogenMod on my device. But now I mostly prefer other custom roms out there.

But the interesting part is why some of us feel like this. I personaly think its because I went from a serie of non-nexus devices where CyanogenMod was the best and most pure Google-experience I could get on my device.

Now that I got my lovely Google Nexus S I dont really mind whether Im running CyanogenMod or any other rom based of pure Google or sometimes a branded port. So It could feel like that "CM9 didnt really catch on" even though its one of the best roms for this phone still. But some features is lacking sometimes...

Some of you might have always been on a Nexus device and find CM the obvious choice?

Some might find it too experimental?

Some of you might have recently moved to a Nexus device and either find CM the only rom to rely on, or like me, just one in many alternatives?

Now that would be much more interesting to read discussions about in this thread, instead of impatient crackflashers whit a huge appetite of candy throwing **** at eachother for thinking differently and licking on other brands of ice cream or candy...

Let's not make this a Nazi-thread. :silly:
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Must be hard going through life not knowing others feel differently than you.
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
Of course it feels like cyanogenmod doesn't really catch on because they took their time to rewrite their stuff with ICS. Meanwhile there emerged a lot of new Roms like aokp which I first used before cm because they were just more developed than cm. But cm will catch on with jelly bean. And I also feel like cm is one of the ROMs which are providing the most pure Google experience. Aokp is further away from this experience in my opinion

Nope. Its great not being a idiot
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
Whatever allows you to sleep at night, because we all know not approving of Cyanogen makes you an idiot.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Nope. We all know that not knowing how to read and use basic logic makes you idiot.

This is not about using or liking cm9. Not at all or even close. It was about it in the ops words catching on.

Which is why I stated it has caught on..... Backed up by ....go check the stats, look at how many post and views its thread has.

Fact. It has caught on. No ifs ands or butts about it. What rom any of you are running does not change that fact.

In your backwards logic I am now a cm fan just because I stated the obvious. Not that it even matters but I am far from that. Actually the opposite but again none of that matters. Nobody gives a crap what ROM I am running or what ROM you're running. Fact is the ROM has caught on.

You could not even counter anything I said at all. Just a typical idiot response oh it must be a great life...... which is a typical response from a self important stupid little brat.
[Nexus S General] jayjay3333:
First, Shark on Land is a notorious troll in the Nexus S forums...hence the troll comments. Second, CM9 is the basis of most ROMs flashed by most people here. Just check the thanks area and Cyanogen is somewhere in there. Without them our sweet little ROM flashing world would be very different. Show respect for those who have put their life into this for nothing but the love of it. I agree there are many great ROMs and some parts are better than CM. I am on AOKP right now and it's awesome...but Cyanogenmod has earned nothing but respect from me for what they have done for our community. You should not start threads that would create negative comments like this one has induced. I for one am disappointed in the comments and feel that CM should be thanked and this thread closed. :thumbup:

[Nexus S General] migz012788:
It is about the different opinions and different experiences about their rom. I also have experience CM9. It is good. And whenbi experienced Resurrection Remix, it is much better for me. I appreciate that AOKP lately.
[Nexus S General] donnieace:
I can only get an idea of how popular a ROM is by the threads posted on websites. Every Android I have seen in the wild are unrooted, besides one friend who refuses to leave CM7.

I tend to flash between CM9, AOKP, MIUI and among others. No matter which one I try, I always end up going back to stock. Gotta love the support this phone gets.

Please i need the ORIGINAL stock ROM that compatible with that Phone SI Number ( 1253-5373 )

Recently I have flashed another ROMs [ The famous 2 ROMs around all the threads .58 and 4.0.4 ]

in order to get the untouched official ICS ROM Updated + Rooted

My Original ROM was a little bit different from the famous one.

for example: The Sony Unlimited Entertainment app doesn't exist in the original FW.

BUT absolutely this ain't the problem.. My important problem is all about my Carrier (Service Provider)

Since updating manually those ROMs, Google doesn't recognizing my carrier! Unlike my old original stock ROM.

Also some of apps like Go SMS Pro, Whatsapp. Both are saying: This item cannot be installed on your device's country. !!

In the past with my original stock ROM.. i was able to see those apps and also was updating them.

But Unfortunately, from the first step i didn't know that getting back to the original stock ROM is that hard task,

Even didn't imagine that doing the manual update could lead to those annoying problems !!

Another thing to add, while i was flashing the ICS ROM the flashtool ignored that file ' Simlock.ta ' !

I tried again flashing with the option ' Exclude TA '. Anyways, both results are the same at the end.

Also i got an old screenshots to my Original stock Rom Software Info, Here:

oi46.tinypic.com/6thd0k.jpg

oi47.tinypic.com/vcb6a.jpg

Please, Copy the links of the pics to your address bar, so that you could see them.

*As a new user XDA prevented me from posting links becuase i didn't reach 10 posts yet !

I searched alot around the internet for the same original stock rom.. but got nothing ! :\

It's very important to me to get my region ORIGINAL ROM to get everything back to it's right way!

I don't know if here in XDA are enough Egyptian members with Sony Ericcson Xperia Live With Walkman WT19I Or Not !

If you are Egyptian with original stock ROM Or know someone who could help with it, Please contact me.

If you could help me, you gonna save a deadly phone's life. DON'T HESITATE : )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] boyq:
Based on your software info:

Your CDA number is 1254-1848

This corresponds to CUSTOMIZED MEA WORLD I 1254-1848 based on this WT19i CDA list.

You can try this yourself:

Change your current CDA number to 1254-1848 by editing your build.prop located in /system/build.prop. Open it with Text Editor.

Replace the highlighted lines with 1254-1848.

Reboot your phone and use PC Companion to repair it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
First - There are no differences in the LWW firmwares.

Second - We do not have firmwares for every SI number.

Third - Why do you need that specific firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MegaSterious:
I have already mentioned that i faced some weird problems after installing the ROMs.

for sure. that doesn't mean all the people who are doing the same is going to face those problems.

----------------------

i'll try to change my cda number, hopfully to get the original ROM of my region.

Thanks dude for caring And also for your great topics : )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MegaSterious:
Many thanks for your post.. i'll try it. = )
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xdevilium:
i believe that simlock.ta is for the sim lock, so i don't think you want that :D

It's not hard at all to flash stock roms :)

Just download Flashtool and search development section for something like "[stock rom] 'some numbers' 1234-1234"

Open flashtool and click on the lightning icon and choose the firmware you want ;) first boot is long.

After that do what boyq said.

Does the toolkit work for the sgs3? its something similar to the gnex toolkit will it work the same way ? because i read through here there is other ways to root and install cwm but with the toolkit its easier which way would be easiest?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The toolkit is similar to the Galaxy nexus one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Odin is far from being complicated.

Several people have had softbrick issues with the toolkit, I'd avways prefer having control over the individual steps and see what goes wrong.

It's nott like there are that many, you need 1step to root (flash kernel through Odin) or 2 steps to change Rom (root, then install new Rom through CWM) and there are plenty howto's.
[HTC EVO 3D] chfields:
I have an EVO 3D not rooted, no new apps, purchased new 4-5 months ago. Last week lock screen stopped showing up when turning on the phone. removal of battery is the only thing that fixed it. It stopped working again today and removed battery to fix. any ideas on what the problem is and how to resolve?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
That's an option I'd love to have actually. I've never heard of that happening but I'm sure that if you ran an ruu, it would fix the issue. It will also erase all of your user data. If you look in the sticky section of evo 3d development, general or q&a, you'll find the links for an ruu. If you are on sprint, you have a cdma evo 3d and you'll want the 2.17 ruu.

Edit... Here's the site http://www.filefactory.com/f/4ef0ef536face67a/ the 10th one down is the 2.17, only use it if you are cdma.
[HTC EVO 3D] chfields:
Since I haven't rooted my phone, why would I need to RUU? Can I RUU a nonrooted phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes, an ruu most definitely works on a non rooted phone, your problem sounds like a software issue and the ruu will reinstall all of the software.

An ruu isn't a hack, its official HTC signed software. If you've got software issues and your not rooted, I'd think the ruu is your only option.
[HTC EVO 3D] chfields:
I appreciate your quick response. I will look into this further when I get off work....Thanks again!
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Any time. Remember that the ruu will erase your user data so you might want to get an sms backup app, I think they work without root.
[HTC EVO 3D] NineInchNails:
Great advise wikd. For stock users and rooted alike the ruu can solve many many issues. Not all but a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] chfields:
I will probably try calling Sprint before the RUU just to see what they say....Really don't want to put all my info back in.....
[HTC EVO 3D] NineInchNails:
They'll tell you to do a factory reset in which case you'll have to do it anyways. Running the ruu resets the partitions and ensures a clean install of the stock Rom from the factory.
[HTC EVO 3D] chfields:
I'm not sure this issue is really worth the hassle of doing a full reset. I'll just keep pulling the battery or just live without the lock screen.

I appreciate all the help....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid1:
Ok I wrote the generic image file to sd card through winimage or whatever its called. Then I went here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore. I downloaded the first one dated 7/8/12 and put it on the sd card also. I installed sd card in nook and turned on. It went through a bunch of installing but the last few sentences say:

"Looking for the install images...

Initial install files not found.

Please download it from nook.linuxhacker.ru

and put on first partition of this SD Card

the name should start with updatei-cm and end with .zip"

What does this mean and what am I doing wrong? Right now looking at the SD card file on my computer i see files: MLO, u-boot, uImage, URamdsk, and a zip folder that says: cm-7-20120701-NIGHTLY-encore. I did not unzip the file, all I did was download it right to the computer and dragged to SD card and I even tried downloading straight to to SD Card and no luck.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anniraff:
You can download CM7 RC 3 from the same source and try to add itfirst. If it loads,then rename your other zip with an update_ prefix, put it on your boot partition, boot into recovery and you should be where you want to be. (You'll prolly need to install GAPPS zip after first load of RC3 to get google apps, too).

Follow advice on lepanlar's tip site and you won't go wrong.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Just make sure the file name starts with update- instead of cm- and all will be well.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akn2102:
Hi, i am an absolute noob! I tried updating to CM10 from CM7 on my Nook Color. I got the same error message and did also try update instead of cm. But I keep getting the same message. Additionally the message also says "Please put on first partition of this SD card." I tried this with an 8 GB class 4 Strontium card. After I first burnt the image onto the SD card, after that the SD card reads as "boot" with 297 mb of 297 mb remaining. By the time I burn the image again and then load the update/cm.zip and gapps-jb.zip there is only 50.1 mb remaining. What could be the problem?

Also, I note that after an unsuccessful attempt only the image remains when I view the SD card on the computer. I have to then again copy the update/cm.zip and gapps.zip file. Any assistance would be much appreciated! Cheers,,
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It needs to be update-, with the dash.

Also, if going to CM10 from CM7, you need to reburn your SD with the new image from my updated instruction thread linked in my signature. The old image will not work properly with CM10.

Thanks for the quick response. I did use update- . Also, the thread you mentioned was the one I used to attempt the upgrade. Somehow it isn't working. This is the full message

"it appears that the sd card is already properly formatted initial install files not found"
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
And when you put the SD in the PC, you can see the cm- zip? It needs to be named just right, beginning with cm- or update- and ending in .zip

You have gotten past the hard part, getting it to boot in the first place. You just are not getting the files right. If it is on the card and named right it would try to install. And since you put both the cm zip and the gapps zip there, one or both should try to install. They must not be on the card right.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akn2102:
The strange thing is that after I put back the SD after an unsuccessful install, I can no longer seem the cm-.zip and gapps-,zip files. I can see that they are successfully copied onto the SD card after first burning the image and taking out the SD card and then copying those two files like you mention in your post.

After I first burned the image onto the SD card and then deleted it after the first unsuccessful attempt, the SD card shows up as a boot drive and only shows 297 MB space available and after the image and the two files are copied as above then only 50.1 MB space is left available.

Can't figure out where it's going wrong.

Alright, I know what is wrong. It is that strontium card. You need to use a SanDisk class 4 card. You are getting read/write errors on that card. I had that happen to me when I used a cheap card. Find a quality SanDisk.

Similar problems here. I'll explain step by step what I did and maybe someone can tell me where I went wrong.

I'm using a MacBook Air running 10.8.3 (not that it makes a difference, but I am using Terminal and DiskUtility for some of these operations).

I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on a Nook Color 1.4.3 following the directions given here.

1. Downloaded generic-sdcard-v1.3.img and cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip

2. Installed the .img on a SanDisk 4GB microSD card. Ejected it, remounted it, it mounts as a single partition named "boot" that's 121 MB in size with 112 MB available. The files on "boot" are MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk.

3. Tried to copy cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip to "boot" but there is not enough space.

In a previous attempt, I forgot to copy the cm-10 file to "boot" and was able to get the linux sdcard image to temporarily mount on my Nook, but then received the error mentioned earlier by someone else:

Then, when I ejected "boot" and mounted it on the Airbook, I saw two partitions: "boot" and "CM7 SDCARD." The latter partition had plenty of room for the cm-10.1-20130521-NIGHTLY-encore.zip file, so I put it on there. But it didn't matter if I leave the filename as "cm-" or change it to either "updatei-cm-" or "update-cm" or whatever; the same error occurs.

What am I doing wrong? I assume there is a way to force the sdcard image to create a "boot" with plenty of room for the cm-10 zip file. But how? And do I rename the cm-10 to updatei-cm-10 or what?

Thanks in advance.

so i loaded cm9 ics on my fire and everything worked great. then i flashed the gapps zip and when i turn on the fire the prompt screen comes on that comes on everytime you buy a new device, the one where you are prompted to touch the android and then you will enter your info and stuff. well, everytime i touch the android, it says "unfortunately the setup wizard has stopped" with a force close button. any ideas how to get gapps on?

May not have wiped everything properly, or flashed a corrupt gapps zip.

Either way, you can get around the issue from TWRP by deleting the file /system/app/SetupWizard.apk using the built-in file manager or ADB.

Agreed, first try to wipe again. Factory reset (2x) for good measure, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, Flash ROM, flash Gapps, boot. May even wipe cache/dalvik again after flashing. Not usually needed, but sometimes KF can get stubborn.
