[Q] Installing the latest CM7 alpha5 - HTC Sensation

Hi,
I have have been using alpha4 and it works great for me, a couple of small things that need ironing out for sure but Im finding it VERY usable.
I would like to upgrade to alpha5 but I have spent a long time installing and configuring LauncherPro and I am wondering if I will loose all this.
Do I need to do a wipe and a fresh install to get 5 or do I just install over the top and will it keep my settings in place or not?
Thanks!
Nat.

Just flash over alpha 4. no probs. I went from alpha 3 to 4 witch launcher pro and everythink was in place
Edit: sorry i thought you were talking about adw launcher. I would make a backup in every case because adw could replace your launcher pro settings.

Ok thanks!

Just upgrade and you won't have any problems, when you are working with CM you don;t have to worry because all apps ans setting are secured when you upgrade.
Are you getting 4G on CM7?

Backup your launcherpro settings in preferences it saves to SD card the only thing it doesnt restore is your Widgets.

[MOD][LAUNCHER] TouchWiz 4.0 from SGSII [EDT][5.11.2011]

Hello everyone! Here is something new for you all to play with. This is the TouchWiz 4.0 Launcher on the SGSII for KC1 and KD1. THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH MY DEODEXED BUILDS. Download the respective zip for your build and flash through clockworm mod recovery (you read me right!). The KC1 version CAN be flashed over the lockscreen mod from my other thread.
This is a port of fr4gg0r's modified launcher with customizable options from this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883
KNOWN ISSUES
~ Launcher will FC on reboot
~ All Samsung widgets do not work
Thank you and please enjoy!
alright cool, downloading now..thanks
wow, guess its time to go ahead and flash deoxed!
Gonna try it now and well see what's up.

Oh, so to install this i would just have to put it in root of sd, then go to flash from sd, choose and flash it? ( do i need to wipe anything?)
Awesome job Whitehawkx!
Flashed with cwm and running fine. I like this version of tw much better. It's less Iphoney--It doesn't have those colored boxes behind the app icons in the app drawer. It also seems to be pretty snappy.
I will probably use this for my main launcher which I am surprised to say about a version of TW...lol. Great job on this!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Download to sdcard and then boot into cwm and look for install zip from sdcard, not the flash update.zip option. U will see your sdcard file layout find the file u downloaded and install. Hope this helps. Also when u reboot hit home and go to preferences and uncheck Landscape. It was causing force close on me everytime.

Is anyone who flashed this having an issue where the phone reboots by itself? I'm using KD1.
It's either this or the new CW mod. Andi can't seem to figure out what is causing it.

I've been rocking it this evening and it's pretty cool. It is particularly refreshing not to have to jump through hoops when restoring an EXT4 file system that gets downgraded with CWM by default to EXT3. Props to the dev of this. This is great work.
I'm rocking 4EXT right now. Very convenient. Ask the features of CWM with the added benefits of everything else

I did that to my ROM that was supposed to be EXT4 but was using a Nandroid so it was "downgraded" to EXT3. Didn't have any issues at all, but the ROM I'm running is supposed to be EXT4. Check your ROM dev's stats and see what file system the cache is supposed to be is one suggestion.
Converted cache fine on ninja 0716

You're welcome. I was just over in the Desire threads poking sticks in the bushes and ran across this. I've been flashing stuff...just so I can use it . No errors at all for me, and reformatting my partitions to the file systems they should be is a snap.
I just installed it a little bit ago. I've only been rooted for a few days and don't 100% know what I'm doing yet, but it installed without a hitch and seems cool. I'm trying to change the theme on mine, but it's not working exactly as planned.
Just install the zip file through recovery and depending on which version you are using you will either have to reboot the phone back into recovery to see the changes or if you are on 2.11b it will reboot for you.

I think any version will reboot its self as long as the person who made the theme set it up.to do so.

Yeah just download the theme to your SD card, do not unzip. Boot into recovery and then select instal from SD card, find file and click yes. It will reboot back into recovery and then your good to go!

[ROM] [Cyanogenmod] BASIK (5/9/2012)

I AM OFFICIALLY ABANDONING THIS ROM. It is already mostly working and has very little difference from regular CM7. You can still feel free to download it though.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Based on CM7, this is a ROM that provides a basic experience while keeping all features.
Working:
Pretty much everything.
The goods:
zipaligned
Minumum RAM usage
Using T-Mobile/ CM7 theme engine
Fully customizable
4G (maybe- not availible where I live.)
Standard Gingerbread launcher
Note: the messaging app might fail to send any messages. To fix this, go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> messaging -> clear data. Then restart your device.

I have not seen this issue before, even with several re-flashes of the ROM. Go back to the recovery, wipe everything but the SD card and flash both files again. Might be your data connection. Can you specify this error or even better send us screen caps of it? Just hold power button and tap Screenshot.

For the market errors, try going into language and keyboard, select any other English language. Open market then close the market. Go back into language and select united states English again. This was recommended and it worked for me. Also, adding an additional Gmail account was recommended as well. Good luck.

There is really only one GB AOSP rom other than CM that can't be considered a kang in one way or another. That's SalvageMod. Really there is no shame in the kang, so long as the dev gives proper creds. (Which he did) I have a couple here in dev section myself.

[Q] CM9 nighty and CM10 ??

I've noticed on the CM website there are nighty builds for CM9 being released relatively frequently. My question is that are these more advance than the stable CM9 releases? Or are they beta builds for CM10? If so, why aren't they labelled CM10?
That's because there not cm10. They haven't even started to release one build so they won't be.
Nightlies are more stable then the stable build
Your so called stable build is just a label. It's just another nightly
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for the response. Why do u think they are just labels rather than proper stable releases?
Is there a change log anywhere so u can see what new features have been added or fixed?

Two reasons I think. Both of which make me sound like a wimp by the way.
I don't want to venture away too much from aosp and I don't have the technical knowledge to see what the main differences are with the variations.
Also because I've only installed two roms, both have been CM ones and I'm too cautious to try something new!

True. I just don't like having to install all apps again etc. Plus all of my apps are installed on my SD card (the ones that allow anyway) so I hate having to format my SD card to get rid of all unnecessary stuff (I'm ocd about that!).
I will start being more experimental I think though. Its the only way forward!

ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup works pretty well in restoring non-system apps across ROM changes but not sure how it handles apps moved to SD card.
If you restore ROM from nandroid backup, it will be like nothing has really changed. It's worth trying different ROM's given different optimized ROM's and even different kernels are out there. Or Bruce CM10 which is pretty awesome.
I've heard nothing but good things about Bruce's ROM so I think I may head over there. One of the things stopping me is that there are so many updates being released for it all of the time I feel I should keep waiting!
Thanks for all of the advice guys.

Updates are awesome. I could hardly notice difference between updates but I like keeping my phone updated.
Best thing you can just flash new update on top of whatever you have no need to wipe even cache. Totally effortless.
If it fails, flash previous ROM.
I wasn't aware it was that easy. Thanks for the information. When I get time I am definitely gonna give it a go.

I have one more question please.
So if I want to update my current version of CM9, which is the most recent stable version, to the last version released, which is a nightly build - do I have to wipe everything (phone, cache etc) or do I just flash the rom and that's it?
Many thanks once more.

Wipe Dalvik and Cache only, then install. (You might not even have to do that, but I don't know if the CM9 install scripts wipe those for you.)
When it boots everything will be just like you left it.
That's ONLY if you are upgrading to the newest Cm9 build.
If you want to go to any CM10 builds do a full wipe first.
If everything is going to be as I left it (apps, settings etc) I will try the latest cm9 before I try cm10.
Many thanks.

IMHO, give a try to Bruce CM10, now it's in release candidate, and there aren't non working stuff. I ude it, and i will not use ICS rom anymore

Though all the features are working on his build now, if there are small bugs that may or may not happen then it's not completely a release candidate yet
