CM 5.0.7 Stable

I noticed CM 5.0.7 was available in the ROM manager app (it doesn't show in CM updater - always says no updates found wish I knew why!?).
So just to confirm if I apply via ROM manager will it wipe out my current theme or any data?

(tweet from....cyanogen
Going to do a .1 for the N1 build, I didn't actually include the fixed Gallery3D. Also, the FroYo radio WON'T work with 5.0.7-N1.)
my advice is to wait for the cm updater to show it...rom manager may have jumped the gun

OK thanks.
So CM 5.0.7.1 works with froyo? Includes froyo?
How does that work?
1) apply stock
2) apply froyo
3) apply CM?
I hope someone posts a sticky guide for noobs or something - this is all getting rather daunting!

Don't apply Froyo before CM there's no need.
Root your phone
apply Amon Ra recovery
Back up
apply CM

Really? So CM 5.0.7 will include all the goodies from froyo? I don't have to instal froyo myself at all?

5.0.7 is based on the latest 2.1 Android cot NOT 2.2 code.
6.0.X will be based on 2.2 Froyo code.

Cyan said it himself that it will be cyan 6.0 for froyo. U do have most features as froyo but its not with everything. He said he is awaiting for the code to be released .He also said he will be updating his app soon.... via twitter yestarday.

[Q] Samsung Mesmerize Roms

Hello all,
I am new to the forums so I apologize if I posted in the wrong place! I am looking for a Froyo rom for the Samsung Mesmerize, I have spent quite a bit of time looking and have been quite unsuccessful so far. All I am looking for is a basic Froyo Rom, something that would be close to what Samsung themselves would actually release. I am new to Android so I do not know where to look exactly. I have hacked the PSP, jailbroken iPods, and installed custom roms for Windows Mobile phones so I am no total noob in the hacking aspect. If somebody could just point me in the way of some safe froyo roms that would be much appriciated, thanks in advance!

you can not yet

I think jt has a clean mesmerize rom for you...

There are no roms Froyo based at the moment but the current rom that is avalible is Deodexed and clean (striped of extra bloat) It is an Eclair DI14 based Rom. There is also voodoo and nonvoodoo kernels avalible and I just posted some MODS I created Accurate battery and notification Icon changes, as well as it gives you Custom bootanimations if you choose the voodoo kernel,as this kernel supports custom bootanimations...All kernels can use this mod you just wont have bootanimation change if you choose nonvoodoo...Hope this helps

CM7 Port For Mytouch 1.2/Fender?

I checked out the Cyanogenmod website to disappointed with the fact that official development for Dream/Sapphire devices has been stopped, so I was wondering if anybody was developing an unofficial CM7 port for the Fender/Mytouch 1.2?

Gingerbread with 2.2 Kernel

Hi,
Well we have an Froyo Kernel (UK,Orange,Chinese) well the guys at the XT720 got Froyo with 2.1 UK Kernel to Work.
Someone gonna try 2.3 with 2.2. UK/Orange Kernel?
That would be something really nice we could work on
Cause with 2.2 UK / Orange we have perfect working Froyo, now there ist only 720p (half done) ,FM-Transmitter (seems impossible) and finally Bootloader Cracking(really hard work) left for Developers
We could use CM7 or Milestone Gingerbread Port
Regards

the guys that are working on milestone baked a fully?! working gingerbread, can't the same method they used to get it working on milestone be used for our defy? i also read that custom kernels can be loaded on droid x and milestone

Unfortunately I can't find any information that they actually used the kexec method to load a fully custom kernel. I'm hoping they are still hiding it for the public to get rid of bugs. I fear though it's never going to happen. Despite that fear, a true CM7 on our Defy with a Moto kernel would already be quite nice. The custom roms so far are nice, but they are nothing more than adaptations of the original firmware. There is still Moto stuff in them, and don't we all just want to have Gingerbread on our Defy?

Honesty.... Gingerbread is the worst update google has done.. might as well wait for Icecream for some REAL update besides some phone off animations. Before we even got a froyo rom I attempted to port it with advice I got from dexter awhile ago... obviously didn't work.

All I can say is can't wait for blurless tmous froyo (cue jboogie)

2.3 doesn't seem to do much really...

It would be nice to have the latest ginger just to have the latest ginger to keep our Defy up to date.
I agree with jboogie3, it would be better keep some energy to concentrate our efforts on the next release during this time if you don't like blur stuff I would advise the latest jboogie3 rom which is really fast and as blurless as it's reasonable to be (only miss ginger keyboard which has improvements and drawbacks .
A core CM port would be nice though.
Cheers,
Kribou

I hope Motorola gives defy little ginger, because froyo its close to final release.
I think that Motorola developers will not stop there.
But its only me..

Yes, there are few small changes, but if the kernel could be ported that will be nice...maybe in some we could really have fully customizable roms on our defy

I just want 24bit gallery back.

Unfortunately even the deblurred ROMs aren't running stock apps. They still have Moto contacts, moto dialler, cmp and more at a minimum, not to mention there are moto services you can't get rid of.
It's not that I don't appreciate the work the devs are doing with ROMs but all I really want is a proper Froyo stock ROM, maybe one day I'll get bothered enough to try and make one

at this moment the most we can do with rom deblur, is to change
some applications aosp with some blur .... not easy to delete all app
motorola, there are some default app that you just replace them, but must rewrite the correct library for it to work properly, such (for example) as a keyboard (or gingerbread Android) ..

Everyone, could you plz save your efforts with all the blur roms and start baking stock roms cz I believe it is possible but just needs alot of work, so to all the devs here can u all work on the same project of unlocking the bootloader and porting stock roms, plz!!!

are you serious?

Gingerbread keyboard works dandy on my defy.
There is a port for 2.2 devices...
Gingerbread is all in all a nice update. made my hd2 faster, better looking and added this little orange bumps to the lists...
btw: 2.3.3 enables a lot of apps made for multiple processors.

There are many kernel sources (and more sources) available on motodev
ex:
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/go/projects.moto_defy/frs.defy_skt.jdskt_u3_02_20_0
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/...ects.moto_defy/frs.defy_latam.jorla_u3_6_14_5
There are sources of the 2.1.1, but i find nothing related to the 3.4.2 build
but kernel Makefile shows v2.6.29 and not 2.6.32

ICS(CM9) and CM7 experiences with froyo/ginger bread kernel

I write this new thread because that`s important new
experiences i think!!!!!!!!
I found out that now you can choose Gingerbread or Froyo Kernel
on your CM9 (versions from 4.february 2012)
I´ve installed CM7 Kang RC1 3 feb.2012 , you can find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470721
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/index.php?id=jordan
And in second boot ICS CM9 Nightley 4.feb.2012 , it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003
http://tanguy.forumdoandroid.com/
http://defy-cm.net/defy-cm9-nightly/
First i was on CM7(Froyo Kernel) -- Everything exept. the known issues was working....
Then i Flashed the CM9 kernel wich could be fount in the upper links
and Everythings......... works .......
For me thats new because of in my last experiences with those Roms ,
there were two Versions with different Kernel usage :
CM7/CM9 version for Defy with Froyo kernel
CM7 /CM9version for Defy/Defy+ with Gingerbread Kernel
And now one and the same CM7 can be used on both kernel
And the gingerbread telephone network bug in 2nd boot is fixed!!!!!!!!!!!
3d Gallery works in ICS!!!
Thanks to kang,epsilon,walter,quarks ....

This should not be in the development section.

No, that's what the "thanks" and "donate" buttons are for.

@bone101 : Thanks! Exciting report!
Can you specify what hardware you have, Defy green/redlens, Defy+ ?
and also specify what SBF build you use as base before you flash ?
When you write "Froyo kernel" and "Ginger bread Kernel", do you mean: "CM7_Kernel-signed.zip" and "CM9_Kernel-signed.zip" (Fritolays http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20148046&postcount=1624 )
or do you refer to some other Kernel files ???
(I guess the 2 filenames below are the same as the ones fritolays re-packed. I'll update here when i get answer )
CM9-ICS-multiboot kernel_2.3.4.zip = the kernel from CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan.zip
CM7.1-11-kernel_2.2.2.zip = ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353003&highlight=cm7+kernel+froyo&page=162
So much stuff around we needs to be very specific so that we understand eachother.
You might want to check this thread where I am trying to collect some info about the Kernel versions that are used in the CM7 & CM9 builds after 7:th December 2011

Info about my DEFY PLUS
System Version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3
[email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-74

I flashed CM9 over Feb 4 build, it bootloops.

ICS is working very good, but it has very little in common with CyanogenMod.
It is very AOSP-like now.
If you are okay with vanilla Android, then you can use ICS very soon (because camera will be working soon, I think).
If you are like me, and need the functions of CM that make CM so great, than ICS isn't usable at all (for now) for you.

Nope. Just not true. In CM7 everything works just fine AND the excellent configurability of a true Custom Rom is there. That is what I expect from CM.
The ICS Versions for the Defy are very good, but they lack those parts of CM that make it excellent. And that is not the Quarks' fault or Epsylon's fault, it just isn't finished yet.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking to me ? It sounds like an insult.
Just because the current CM9 Roms are good enough for you, it doesn't mean they are good enough for everyone.

My first intention to open this thread was that its possible to run the new CM7 and CM9
on Defy or Defy+ --- the same Rom for both
But now im think its not possible , because i´ve tried to install MS2Ginger 3.0NG-RC which work very well, but my CM7Fryo in 2nd boot dosent...
I will try my luck with CM9ICSFroyo in 2nd, maybe 2nd boot need CM9/ICS
CM9/ICS for Defy+ would work
