[Q] How to Install Cyanogen Mod ROM - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a rooted nexus S..
how i gonna install Cynogen Mod Rom..
i get this link..
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-cyanogen-mod-rom-on-your-nexus-s/
but my question is...can Cynogen Mod Rom can be install using ROM Manager??
Why Cynogen Mod Rom have to install googleapps after we have installed Cynogen Mod Rom??is that necessary??
Do others ROM have to install googleapps too??
thank you...

Last i checked that website was pretty outdated.
Yes it can be done using rom manager. You have to flash the gapps after as they are not included in the rom. This is because Google asked cyanogen to not include closed source apps in his open source rom.
You will want rom manager premium so you can download the cumulative nightlies. Otherwise just download the necessary files and install zip with rom manager. Make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvic cache before flashing the rom.
I recommended you install the latest nightly as it has included alot more fixes since the rc1 release.

not exactly
RC1 is the last official "stable" version
the link you provided is to the nightlies which are very random in nature, and many times it might not even work as pointed out on CM website itself
and when you are NEW to the flashing game, it's best to work with files you know it will work for sure, to minimize the unknown and fear factor

CM7 was on a code freeze. No additional code was being added because they were about to release rc2. It would have been out by now but kernel.org was hacked. The latest nightly is far more stable than rc1.

[ROM] Cyanogenmod 7.1 Nightly-Unofficial HTC DREAM

I've compiled Cyanogenmod rom from source for Dream and Magic and I want to share.
I want to thank farmatito for his kernel.
Now on Dream the rom seems ok.
I have DangerSPL and it's necessary because of system size.
Links to download the rom and the gapps are in the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106091
flash it at your own risk and all comments are useful!

Thanks. This is amazing rom. It is butter smooth (though I did my own settings.)
I removed the unnecessary apps from Gapps. It gave more free system rom.

Solved APP2EXT problem by downloading S2E app from the market. Now almost whole internal is free.

This rom is way faster than other Ginger bread roms. Pure Cyanogen Mod experience after all. It reminds me of the excitement I had when I first flashed Cyanogen Mod 6.
Excellent work Jordan. Two thumbs up.

Guys,
I tweaked this ROM a bit and I am now able to get the BT working.
I have informed Jordan about my tweaks. I think he will incorporate them in the next build or look into them.
Update:
Tweaked the ROM a bit more to add app2sd to it and it is working good now.

If you want a more stock experience, I strongly recommend EaglesBlood ICS 4.04 AOSP, build 5.5 with 5.6 kernel. These guys also fixed the data drop problem. It's the smoothest ICS ROM I've seen. Also, it uses the Aroma Installer, and supports both the OLD and NEW baseband.. it defaults to the OLD baseband when installing, so you shouldn't have any problems.
For this sweet setup, just do the following and you should be good to go:
1.) Install Build 5.5 zip through CWM Recovery - developer.clockworkmod.com/downloads/718/3127/egb-nightly-2012-07-01-signed.zip
2.) Install latest GApps zip RIGHT after that in CWM Recovery - goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3.) Install Kernel 5.6 zip right after that in CWM Recovery - dropbox.com/s/p8z8sdy7iwemegk/eb_p999_beta5.6.zip
4.) [Added Bonus] Install Default Browser Rotation/Flickering Fix right after THAT in CWM Recovery - charlie.d-h.st/k7J/00010/Browser-rotationfixed-tonyp.zip?key=1343730743 (by tonyp)
The above links work. Unfortunately, I can't supply the nice clickable outside links until I have more postings under my belt.
genesis is pretty awesome, too. Tons of options, aroma installer, both basebands supported, CM9 and AOKP fusion.
My advice is try them all out. Pretty much anything on here is better than stock. See what fits you and your phone the best

Says it's not compatible with my device. Running CM10. But it says it's for ICS and JB devices so i'm not sure why it's not compatible.
Anyone else have any luck installing?

If you have any version of adobe flash on your phone uninstall it before you I stall the browser. Then you should get link to I stall modded flash.
Edit... If you have flash player 11 it doesn't need to be removed,the link in the app is because you can't install from market on jb.Sorry for not doing my homework beforehand.
Nice, I'll give this a try

There are many nighty builds of the PAC ROM which give your phone android 4.3 version !! You can get them from here -http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/p3100/nightly/ .
The Nightly Version isnt stable right...could u give me the link to the rom u currrently using and the instruction pls..as im quite new to flashing custom rom

Click to collapse
Yeah i agree , there are many bugs in the nightly so i immediately switched back to the stable version .
Requirements : a rooted phone with an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery like cwm or twrp .
Read these instructions to the letter :
1)Make a nandroid backup of your android before flashing anything in case you ever brick your device and also make a separate backup of your applications using titanium backup
2) download the .zip file from this link http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/p3100/release/ and put it in your sd card. This is the .zip file for your rom. (If you have any other device than the p3100 then put that device's name in the link instead of p3100.)
3) then download the latest gapps version from here goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and put it in your SD card. This is for the google apps .
4) open the custom recovery you have on your phone.
5) there, click on the wipe data /reset button and then the wipe cache button
6) click on the install zip from sd card button. There select the .zip file for the pac rom.
7) then install the latest gapps version by the same method as above.
8) after all this press the reboot now button .
Now you got the PAC rom giving you android v4.2 on your galaxy tab 2.
ENJOY and press thanks if i helped you ...
