Howdy. I am about to install CM7. I looked in the downloads and am wondering which nightly I should download? Is the newest one stable or is there another that is stable. The file sizes are all around 92.7mb. Is this the entire MOD or is there a base that I need to install? I know these are noob questions....but I'm a noob to the droid scene. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Install latest nightly using CWM. Make sure you flashed CWM using NVflash.
That nightly is the actual ROM and only thing you need to flash separately is the goggle apps, which are called gapps

Thank you. I already rooted and flashed CWM on my phone itself. How would I go about the google apps. In other words, where do I download them and do I install them in the same way from my SD card? Tanks again and sorry for all of the questions.
Google Apps aka GAPPS is also found in the same post as the CM7 nightly.
Factory Reset>Flash CM7>Flash GAPPS>Reboot>Enjoy
Google asked Cyanogen not to include the Google Apps in this roms, so you have to manually install them after you flash his roms.
Once you get up in a good working CM7 rom, download Rom Manager and use it to download roms/Gapps in the future.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Format /system (found in mounts and storage)*
Wipe Dalvik Cache (found in Advanced)
Wipe Battery Stats*
Install latest nightly
Install Google Apps
Install whatever kernel you want, or just skip to use stock
Reboot
Entries marked with a * are not necessary but reduce the chance of something going wrong.
I'm on the latest nightly (78) and it's awesome.
Only jumped to CM a few days ago (from EB FR 1.05) and it's waaaaay better.

Having trouble finding a straight answer via Search.
I'm running stable CM7 (2.3.3), but I want to start using the CM7 nightlies (2.3.4) in order to use google talk video.
Can I just flash the latest nightly and gapps on top of CM7 stable?
Or do I need to wipe anything (and if so what do I need to wipe) ?
I have everything set up perfectly, so I'm not looking forward to having to wipe anything if I don't have to.
How about going from nightly to nightly?
I just did this on my fiancées EVO. I just wiped cache and dalvik and flashed the latest nightly (not even gapps) and it runs like a dream.
Thanks, I guess I give it a go.
The other issue I'm having is finding which gapps package to flash that will have working Gtalk video. I think this is it (link below), but if someone could confirm, that would be much appreciated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13953719&postcount=5405
EDIT: Looks like the answer is yes from another thread.
Also I wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the nightly and the gapps, and all is working swell.
As the subject says I just got through rooting, NvFlash/OneClick, and installing the CM7 mod for the G2x. I used update-cm-7.1.0.1-G2x-signed.zip and am now looking to add my Google account and get the apps.
I downloaded http://cmw.22aaf3.co...talk-signed.zip and installed it from recovery but I see no Google apps nor do I see anywhere in the mod settings to setup my Google account. Any help would be appreciated.
I was at stock.
Then I flashed Clockwork via NvFlash/Oneclick
I immediately performed a factory reset, partition clear, dalvik clear, battery stats clear
After that I installed CM7.
For previous ROMs I remember needing to run an "update.zip." Is this what I have overlooked?
This might sound dumb, but did you flash the gapps RIGHT after you flashed the rom? Or did you start up the rom and then decide you wanted gapps?
Cause that's a no-no.

That's exactly what I did. ;(
Wiped all and installed CM7 again then rebooted to recovery then installed latest gapps pack from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/. It appears that I have market now and it asked me to sign in with my gmail account, which I did but market won't connect.
The clock is effed up too. Clicking on google apps renders a force close. I just removed the apps panel icon from the launcher and have no idea how to get it back. WTF is happening?!
The phone is NvFlashed with Clockwork Recovery and the only two files on my "gold" card, if you will, are the CM7 zip file and the gapps file I got from goo-inside.me/gapps. As of now I've wiped EVERYTHING again and have ONLY installed CM7. Nothing else. No update.zip during flash process either. Just Stock > Clockwork > CM7. When flashing to previous mods on my old myTouch there was a need for the update.zip file is this not applicable here?
What's odd is on install #1 of CM there was no market. But now ~3 full wipes and installs later there is...
I fixed it!!
By installing Weapon... lol

If you still want CM7...I believe you used the wrong gapps. The correct file is named "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip"
I think I read somewhere that the newtalk file is an update that u can flash after installing the original gapps file.

Hi All... Familiar with the basics of rooting/ROMs... I've upgraded my GB 3.2.4 Xoom 4G to the EOS ICS 4.0.3 Nightly #25 a couple of nights ago, and DANG.... impressive stuff! I'm absolutely loving it!
I had a quick question on what the preferred way is of keeping up-to-date with these nightlies? Is it acceptable to just apply a new nightly upgrade from CWM directly ontop of the ROM itself? Do I have to do any wiping of cache beforehand? Also, I was reading you have to reapply the GApps 10.3 afterwards? Can that be done at the same time (one after the other) in CWM?
Does this have any effect on apps that are installed, or email accounts that are already configured?
Thanks much in advance!

You normally wouldn't need to wipe, unless they have a new version of gapps which you would have to flash.

Thank you... just to followup... so if a new nightly comes out, I can just apply it through recovery without doing anything else... but if a new version of gapps comes out, then I have to go through the process of backing up my stuff with titanium backup, go into recovery, wipe data/cache/factory reset, install the nightly and the new gapps, then restore my apps? Sounds painful just for gapps... why doesn't it play nice by just overinstalling it ontop of an older version?
Hi guys. Al thou this is my first post I've been flashing my i9003 for a year or so and i've never had any problems until now.
I have an stock gingerbread installed (XXKPQ) that I flashed using odin, kernel version (2.6.35.7-CL709629 [email protected] #1)
Just so you know, I'm from Argentina, and in order to be able to use 3g, had to keep the modem in I9003LUBKB1 version.
I also flashed cf root (by Skin1980) and I'm using CWM v1.80
I get the latest jellybam (1.3) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972087
And followed the instructions in the official website : http://www.igio90.net/how-to-install/
Just in case you're too lazy to follow the link here are the instructions:
What to do if you are coming from a Stock, CyanogenMod, MIUI, AOKP and any other custom ROM different from JellyBam
-Download the latest revision of JellyBam ROM for your device
-Place the zip into your internal SDCard
-Boot into CWM recovery (Home+Power+Volume up until samsung logo appear)
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe dalvik cache (Inside advanced tab)
-Install zip from internal SDCard
-Welcome to JellyBam!
(I had to wipe the data first and then put the zip in the sd card because wiping the data was erasing the jellybam zip)
The first time I run the installer it got stuck at 50% while installing sony's media player. So i just started the process again and uncheked sony walkman player, it installed "successfully".
When the phone restarted, it was just the old gingerbread, in the about phone panel, it was all the same that before installing jellybam.
So it obviously didn't installed. I can make calls, send and receive messages, wifi is working fine.
So can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Do i have to flash a jellybean kernel?, I dont really know hoe to do that but I'm sure there's more than one post around here that explains that process.
If this question has already been posted I'm really sorry, I did search for any post that could help me with this problem but I didn't find any real answer.
I really hope somebody can help me, and sorry for the bad english, I did study the language but it was a long time ago.
Thanks everybody, specially to developers, you're awesome.:good:
I think you should fist flash theJellyBam v1.1.0 alpha4 in order to repartition before flash the v1.3. hope it can help u.

Wiping the data does not affect your Internal/External storage.

First of all thank you for your helpful answer (I clicked the thank you button).
I have cwm version 5 and I have been having the same problem than the OP. I'd like to flash a CM rom before going on to JB 1.3 so my question is, knowing that I currently have an I9003XXKPR 2.3.6 rom, can I flash CM 10 or should I start by a previous version? And, if so, which one?
Thank you for your help.

i think you should start from zero. take a backup of your files, flash a stock rom and then use universal cf root to root your phone. then flash cm 10 alpha 4 and then the jellybam 1.3. that's the way i have flashed mine. i hope it helps.

Good luck! i hope you flash it correctly! just read and follow the instructions in the cm10 thread thoroughly so you can avoid any problems.
All custom rom unofficial, not compile, but directly modify our base cyanogen
It is recommended to start on a CM10 origin
Example A3 to A4
KPE> LF2> CF-LF2
Wipe Data / Factory Reset. (MUST DO THIS STEP)
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash.
Auto rebooted into recovery (if it show error mounting / cache, and cant mount in manually mount and storage, do wipe / cache)
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery
Select the CM10 A4.zip from your SD Card and flash again
Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata (you would not find this in CWM so just ignor 6)
8. reboot
You can then flash all based on Unofficial Alpha 4
Just do the basic procedure wipe
Hi All,
I have posted this on the GooManager thread but there hasn't been much activity there recently so asking here as well. Noob question on GooManager...I have the AOKP rom installed on my Sensation and GooManager notifies me of updates to my ROM every now and then. I just want to know if updating my ROM build with GooManager will reset all my custom ROM settings and preferences or will they all be preserved? I'd like to keep my ROM up to date but if it means spending all the time again to setup my preferences and icons/widgets/home screens etc. then I'd rather stick with what I have.
TIA!
I'd recommend to use GooManager only to download the newest ROM and flash it from recovery.
I asume you're using AOKP Swagger from frankenstine, the same I use.
I just download the update from GooManager, boot to recovery, flash ROM, gapps and 4.2 stuff and are ready to go.
All my settings are their after updating - only AdAway needs a reconfiguration and a reboot (and I need to set my alarm clock since I'm overwriting that). Basically you keep all your settings except those you made to the kernel.
Regards

Oh perfect, yes indeed I am using that exact ROM.
OK so when I boot to recovery, I shouldn't do any wiping? Just simply flash the new file? Will the updated gapps package be in the download I get from GooManager?

I only wipe dalvik & cache after each update.
I can't say something about what GooManager downloads as "gapps", I use some I downloaded some weeks ago + some old version of 4.2 stuff. I might need to update my flash-setup too

Thanks lolmachine, for the benefit of anyone who might have the same question as me the following worked:
- Downloaded latest build of my AOKP Rom via GooManager
- Downloaded latest gapps package for my ROM via GooManager
- Boot to Recovery
- Flash new ROM file and then gapps package
- Restart.
My only question is, I didn't wipe davlik and cache so should I, and what difference does it make if I don't?
I used Goo the other day to flash, ummm, bugger, can't remember if it was an update or a new rom.
Oh now I remember, the latest one was an update to Bruce's Rom. I do believe when I tapped flash rom it booted to recovery (the one it installs) and I may have had to select "Install" from there, don't think so though. Either way, I used Goo to handle the install.
I didn't do a wipe. From what I've picked up, wiping is a good way to cover your butt. So if you're having issues and didn't wipe, you go back and do it all again with a wipe. Doing the wipe to start with means you can eliminate those types of issues from the start.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am )
Hi there, I also received an update to my ROM via Goo Manager. It is CyanogenMod 10.1 by Albinoman887 for my HTC Sensation XE. I am using the EXT4 bootloader. I just installed it a few nights ago so I am completely new to rooting. My question is that there is no option to wipe dalvik cach. EXT4 just says wipe cache, wipe data and wipe system. Does wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as well. Also do I need to re-flash gapps as well after updating and will this wipe my gmail accounts etc?
Thanks,
Adam

You want to select "wipe dalvik+cache" option when you flash an update.
There's no need to flash gapps after a ROM update.

Simple.
Go to recovery.
For s-on you must enable smartflash.
Do a nandroid backup.
Dirty flash the update (meaning flash over the previous rom without wiping).
Dirty flash gapps (signed only).
Wipe cache + dalvik.
Reboot.
If it can't boot/run properly then you can just restore the backup or do a clean flash.
First off I'm not experienced in any way, got my Sensation unlocked, rootet and installed Sultanxda's 4.4.2 ROM for sensation. I'm on S-On, too, if anyone wonders.
Updating didnt affect my apps as far as I can tell. Everything seems to be the way as before and everything seems to be working.
What I did was download the ROM manually since the download with goomanager didn't work. I downloaded gapps as backup because I didnt have the zip on my SD, just in case anything would go wrong.
You only need to boot into recovery, with S-On make sure smartflashing or something like that is on, select the zip, flash it and then select wipe cache +dalvik.
It's pretty much what AndroidSupporter318 wrote, just wanted to give feedback and say what I did in detail in case anyone was still wondering.

I guaranted 4EXT Recovery for this type of problem. U don't need to boot into recovery and work with 4ext is very simple.
