happy rooting!
secondary note: the camera seems to be not working but all you need to do is uninstall fring (it comes pre installed) and and re install it from the market(or not if you dont want fring) reset and according to everyone else (and myself) who has used this rom everything works perfectly.
Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Edit: Worked great. Thanks! I didn't even need to uninstall fring for the camera to work.
worked like a charm
rooted to OMJ's ROM - then flashed the latest radio and so far looking good - very glad to dump that Sprint bloat
Thanks for the help

Hello! I am fairly new to the android scene (to rooting/using roms that is) and well, I recently installed the Skyraider ROM and well, I quite love it (3.0 Vanilla RC3) and well, everything... is absolutely perfect... except the camera.
Now, I have done extensive searching and reading and well, supposedly there is a "koush's kernel" that fixes the camera issue...
My question is.. where can I find this "kernel?" I have spent hours searching online and well, I found a couple of files but none that actually worked.
Supposedly the fix is in ROM Manager, but under "koush" there is only a "test" kernel, which needless to say did not work at all and forced me to do a clockworkmod nand restore.
I looked on the CyanogenMod 6 that the camera works perfectly, and the kernel version is 2.6.32.15-ga81a44fkoush koushik-OSx86 #4, so I partly assume that would be the kernel I need to install, but I can't find it anywhere. The "test" one in ROM Manager is named similarly, except "...dirtykoush koushik-OSx86 #6"
Tried it... didn't work, at all.
Everywhere I look says that the fix is on ROM Manager, but unless I have missed something, it is not there...
Some help on this would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!
So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
Hello XDA fourm people! First of all, I want to say thank you to all the devs out there working hard to get us nice things on our phones
I am a noobie at flashing custom roms so I need a bit of help. I have a cricket Huawei Ascend running 2.1 update 1. I recently read about the CM7 rom that has been succesfully ported over to the ascend but I have no idea where to even start. My phone IS rooted using z4root, but i really want to install CM7.
I know you have to do a nandroid back up and then used clockwork mod? I have somewhat of an idea of what these things do, but I dont know how to use them or where to get them. Any help would be appreciated.
Lol and I know that some of you are looking at this rolling your eyes, but I'm just new and trying to get the hang of it.
prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=CM7-Ascend
They make it where almost anyone can do this so if you have further questions feel free to ask as I have been bricking my phone and reflashing it back to normal since I bought it lol...also you might look into getting multiple custom ROMS at that same site as one is not really better than the other so you'll want to check out all of em at some point
Myself I have flashed Icarus 1.1 and CM7-Ascend-04052011 (also flashed the nightly release of this but just for a recovery reason which failed) I would suggest Icarus 1.1 if you want an extremely stable ROM that runs off the current system you have on your phone. CM7 is still a little unstable but I run it as an everyday driver because it uses 2.3.3 gingerbread and it also allows for system overclocking to 710mhz without the use of third party apps. Like I said though, test drive them all and have fun with it. Just make sure you make a factory back up and a back up directly after each launch of flashing just in case something does go wrong you can also go back to the bulky OS your running now ;-)

Thank you! I followed a thread that showed me how to flash CM7. It is buggy and unstable, but I love it! I've wanted to flash Icarus too, but i think Im going to play around with CM7 for a bit and see how it works out.
Ok.. The manufacturer finally release ICS for this tablet, it initially does not have gapps..... you need to install CWM and reboot into recovery through ADB... like i said you need to have CWM already installed!!!!! this works on ALL my tablets i just checked it out... it has market, gmail, and superuser. once it is installed you can access recovery by holding down volume:up and power until recovery shows up... ( before It could not be done)
here is the link and instructions for CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378594
here is my nandroid:
http://www.2shared.com/file/HInNxhH1/2012-02-13143731.html
(i had to strip out google talk, it kept on giving me problems..)
on a side note you need a external card to access the nandroid, put it in /clockworkmod/backup/
i haven't tested anything else, ie can not load youtube app and not sure about video playback... netflix only plays sound not video...
if this helped you hit the like button.. i am poor and i only do this when i have time and out of love for this great device and OS.... i am not responsible if your wife leaves you or a natural disaster happens in your area or you brick that sucker.... flash at your own risk...
thanks goes out to everyone that made this possible... maybe i will see if i can port CM9 but don't hold me to that..
Good job, I was actually going to post this today as well until I searched to make sure no one else had already done it. CWM works great with this now that the capacitive buttons work, now to do some modding so we can get cm9 running on it. I still can't get netflix apk to stream, the sound works but no video.
ya i know! that sucks... i need to try to get a youtube app and push it to see if it works.. but i really love it... i wonder if i can try the momo9 cm9 and see what works and go from there.. but school and work keeps me busy as hell!!!
Google Talk works for me with "newtech25_for_ics4.0.3"- script
Google Talk does not work with anything I tried. Tried a lot of patches and versions. Any ideas ?
Try to reflash manufacture rom then newtech25_for_ics4.0.3 script.
i used this one http://www.sappasit.go.th/android/newtech25_for_ics4.0.3.zip
but if figured out there is bug in calendar sync with newtheck script. talk works also with video no problems at all
The gapps package I installed from clockwork mod had youtube in it and it works fine so I have no idea why netflix wouldn't work on ics when it was fine on the stock gb firmware.
what was the gapps package you used?
At this point two main issues
Market does not show system apps.
Some apps (google), even if installed from the Market gives a android system stop responding...
Update
Errors were due to Gapps not properly installed...
Small issue though Camera photos are up side down ?! Can anyone test it for me as well? as this may affect skype video calling ie.
Last thing to sort out Full market support and flash...
my camera works fine on mine, and i restored on 3 of the same tablets... i am working on finding a working google apps i guess... but everything works on mine. Weird, but i will lool for another ICS google apps and then do another nandroid. thanks for your feedback..
Use gapps v11 from CM9. Just flash them from CWM.

Sorry for the question.
Can i use CWM linked on first thread post for LY-F1?

Thanks for the answer.
I'm on 2.3.4 from 20120107 when i press vol+ and power i only get a triangle with exclamation point inside and an android icon but nothing else.
So i need to flash ics first and then use cwm to flash the nandroid with gapps, right?

Hey I was trying to install CWM into my F1 and I cannot run the given scripts. It says permission denied. Any way to work this around?
It needs root. The easiest way is with Unlock Root.

As far as I know, the device comes pre rooted. I tried to root it again with superoneclick and it says it is already rooted.
Successfully deodexed/debloated original Rogers 1.73 RUU ROM using CleanROM tools/script. Why? I am sure I am not the only Rogers phone user itching to have a debloated/deodexed ROM experience. My main goal is to get sk806's mod to work. Debloat wanted for obvious reasons.
What I did:
- I updated the CleanROM installer script, removed two processes for at&t, replaced all system/apps and framework files from Sirius-X.
The install process was rather slow at first, took me three soft bricks, and basically a full day to get my phone up and running again.
I am just testing this now to make sure this is fully functional. For some reason I lost the stock phone.apk app, I have tried all my known methods to reinstall, but still not working. My workaround is using exDialer from the market...sorry the Play Store, for the time being. Also hoping to get the 3-dot mod working on this, main reason for wanting deodex files.
Because I am new to this, and still testing, I don't plan to share at this time ...but depending on demand in this thread, and lack of Rogers Deodex/debloated ROMS available(that can be installed), I would be willing to share. I would also have to msg JSLEntreprises to make sure i could reuse his SiriusX Rom files, also msg scrosler to chg/reuse his CleanROM toosl(although it seems he has opened them up for all to use).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credits go to:
scrosler: for his CleanROM Tool/Installer (thanks for all the hard work!)
JSLEnterprises: for his Sirius ROM pieces, and deodexed files (there are still a couple of odexed files left over, I assume there is good reason for this, so I left them in)
SK806: for all the hard work he is doing to get an unlocked bootloader and 3-dot MOD(hopefully we will have the files for 1.73 RUU again soon, to use with this mod.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
Both the Camera and Phone apps weren't working..I ended merging a few of the deodexed AT&T apps from scroslers ClearnROM AT&T Beta 1...and it seems to all be fixed.
I wanted to add a poll at this point to see the demand for this from Rogers users, but I can't figure out how, after already making this thread.
GOD If you do share the how-to for Rogers. I'd be happy to give that a GO. Mind you I've done a good job at it myself but I'd be happy to factory reset my phone and proceed with your steps and see the difference.
Cheers bud!

Hey fluxgfx,
If you already have the deodexed files booted on your phone, I wouldn't bother going through the process again, it probably wouldn't be worth it. However, if you still wanted to, I can send you the updated installer script..then you could download SiriusX ROM, AT&T CleanMOD beta1, and copy over the system/apps and framework files, to the proper places in the CleanMod folder(I also suggest extacting the Phone.apk, Camera.apk and any files not deodexed from SiruisX ROM, you will already have these in the CleanMOD app folder)..and do it from there...remember you need stock recovery for this to work, so you can only start with a fresh Rogers RUU flash (so have that downloaded as well).
Let me know after reading that paragraph if you are still interested and I can write out the full procedure, there doesn't seem to be a big demand for this, + at&t users will soon have a CWM recovery, which means we will probably get ours fully functional soon as well, which makes this process MUCH easier and probably safer.
I'm definitely interested in a debloat and deodex rogers HTC one X rom. How well did it fare for you?
Umm isnt it called cleanrom? Im using lite 1.1 and its great.
id be very interested, basically my only itch on the rogers stock rom is that super annoying bottom bar that needs a deodexed rom to get rid of !!
Truthfully I consider this thread/proposal dead at this point...it was only mentioned when there was no working recovery. As soon as we got superCID I flashed at&t and haven't looked back...Been using cleanrom standard ever since.
Go with any of the custom ROM, they should all be much superior to Rogers stock...WiFi crap is fixed, multitasking and much more.
