I didn't want to clutter up the dev thread with these questions, but I've never used any CM build on any phone.
I unzipped Bryan's CM7 build to see what was inside and noticed it didn't seem to have a launcher and didn't seem to have any market app. Ok so does that mean you have to pre install Google apps from the SDcard to be able to access the market?
In reading the instructions, it seems like Bryan's CM7 build uses the same kernel as his regular beta kernel thread but that can't be right, can it, with the discussion on the thread....
I noticed that the Google apps were all modified for CM7, so does that mean that ordinary apps won't work unless they're modified?
Can I still use the TW4 launcher on CM7? Used to it.
The business about USB storage not working in Android. I assume that means you can't put anything on the SDcard using the USB cable after Android has booted up so that you have to push everything on there with ADB, is that it, in recovery mode?
1. It does contain a launcher; Its called ADW Launcher.
2. Yes, you would need to flash the google apps. I use this one
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
and this one http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip​
3. You flash the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file then the gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip google talk with video chat support.
4. Its a different kernel. CM7 is using the MTD version. While regular stock roms use BML.
5. I believe you can use the google apps on those files on any rom. But most roms already bring them integrated.
6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.
7. As mentioned in 6, you cannot use TWLauncher on cm7.
8. Yes you would have to push everything through ADB in the meantime. Pushing/puling through adb does not require rebooting to recovery though.
Can someone make a video on how to install the rom?
Just follow the written instructions on the thread and you'll be fine

Honestly they confuse the crap outta me. A video would dumb it down for me and im sure a few others.
IDK how the heck I made my efs backup.
But if anyhow, you manage to make some sort of a tar file with your efs files, you should be fine.
After that,
do the erase_image
and mount /efs
and cd /efs
and tar xf anybackupname.tar
you will install. That is if you get your.

My suggestion is to wait until the install procedure is easier.
In the CM7 OP, Bryan said (twice) to re-read OP after updates.
Making a video will give you proper instructions for this build, but if Bryan updates the install procedure users following the video are going to have a mixed bag of results, and possible bricks.

I have a question as well. Yes, I know that this isnt exactly high priority, but I'm wondering if later there will be a build with Wifi calling. I was trying to install it myself, but it kept force closing, and I don't wanna try anything that'll mess up my phone any worse than I have before.
Wifi calling is basically a must for me since I basically live in Smallville, KS. I get little to no service here, and without it, it usually takes forever to get anything. And yes, I've tried every modem I could, KG4 works best, since I can sometimes get one bar.
I'm trying to complain or anything, and I thank Team Acid for bringing us CM7.
Neo I'm sure at one point bryan will get that working.

So does that mean that NONE of the apps will work unless modified to run on CM7? Or are you just talking about certain Samsung issued apps? I'm in the middle of an old Tarzan novel on my e-reader program on the phone...
I have a question with the process flash boot.img with heimdall...when i open heimdall front end and put boot.img into the flash local package..i get a error the tar header contained an invalid file size..on the flash tab, it only takes pit files..also when i just use the heimdall ..a black screen happens similar like a command prompt and just exits..
how do i flash the boot.img with heimdall?
This is using fbs instructions that I am using and i am stuck on step 7. flash the latest boot.img from bryans op..

Are you on windows? If so open command promt. Cd into the heimdall suite directory. Put your phone in DL mode and connect to usb. From command type "heimdall detect". Should say device detected. Then just put the boot.img in the same directory and follow the OP.

That's just Samsung-specific stuff like TouchWiz that require Samsung's modified frameworks and extra libraries.
Just use FB's install guide instead. I was going to wait until it was installable through CWM, but this is essentially the same thing with a few extra steps.

Well, since no one has mentioned this yet, hope has returned for the quick computerless root, via apk!
This is not my work, it is Chainfire's apk, with Android Exploid Crew's gingerbreak binary inside... brought to you by the makers of rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin... anyways, here's the xda post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Note: this only installs su with superuser.apk, and not busybox, from what I've seen, I tested this with stock EC05. I'm glad busybox is not included, since it would be broken, due to the limited space of the stock EC05 system. So for most using this, the first steps, after rooting with this, would be the following:
Edit: new instructions, for installing rooted kernel, and Clockworkmod 2.5.1.0, all without a computer:
* on the phone, goto menu > settings > applications. Make sure Unknown sources is checked. Goto Development, and make sure USB debugging is checked.
* Install the following apps from the market: SGS Kernel Flasher, ROM Manager, Astro File Manager, and Dolphin Browser HD, all available free from the market, the names here are market links, for your convenience. If opening the links on the phone, make sure to choose the market, when opening them.
Note: Astro File Manager is for ease of locating and installing the gingerbreak.apk on your sdcard. Dolphin Browser HD is recommended, so that downloads don't get the names truncated... The stock browser has been known to do this, especially on my kernel zip downloads.
* Grab the gingerbreak.apk from here (I used the 1.2 version of the apk). either tap the apk download from the dropdown menu, or use astro file manager to locate the apk, and install it. Now close astro file manager, and any other apps that may be using the sdcard.
Now it's time to open gingerbreak from your applications, and choose, "Root Device". It may take up to several minutes, before the phone reboots itself. If all has gone according to plan, you will now have a very basic root, with the Superuser app, so that you can control what apps have root permissions. If for some reason you don't have superuser in your apps, or the gingerbreak has frozen past 10 minutes, reboot the phone, and run the gingerbreak app again.
Note: I am not directly linking the apk here, out of respect for Chainfire, who developed this apk... I wouldn't do it without his permission anyways.
* download DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.02.zip and put on your sdcard
Original kernel post with sources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053252
* Open SGS kernel flasher, and be sure to give permission when the superuser prompt appears. Tap "choose kernel", tap .. , locate DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.02.zip on your sdcard, and flash the kernel. It should reboot the phone when done. You'll now be running a rooted stock kernel, with some nice added features.
* download cwm2.5.1.0.zip.
Original ReRFS Stock ROM and tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
Note: It's a really good idea to download ReRFS Stock ROM, in case you need to stock the phone, in a jam.
* open ROM Manager app, and Tap "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Choose the Epic 4G.
The following message will appear:
"Epic4G does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod recovery manually?"
choose yes, and select ClockworkMod 2.x.
Next, tap "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to, and choose the cwm2.5.1.0.zip on your sdcard.
Tap OK at "Reboot and Install", and be sure to give permission, when the superuser prompt appears.
Presto... rooted kernel with full busybox, and Clockworkmod, with no computer needed, for the epic!
Note: Here's cwm3.0.0.6.zip, if you're ready to plunge into ext4. Make sure you have an ext4 compatible ROM ready to flash, on your you sdcard, before converting to ext4. The stock EC05 system will not boot after converting to ext4. Also, be warned, that as of yet, no posted Epic kernels are ROM Manager compatible with ext4, though I am quite certain that tanimn is very hard at work, doing his best to make this happen.
Anyways, I figured all this would be welcome news, and gives me hope again, that an all in one apk can be mustered for the Epic.
I know some are you are saying, "But this is all so complicated, can't you make this any easier?" Well, I say, having dealt with driver and cable issues galore for months, supporting one click root adb scripts... that this is, in fact, no more complicated at all. It may even be easier.
Maybe with some luck and a little skill, I can do a custom apk for us in the future, but for now, this *will* work.

It's been mentioned in "themes and apps" where it belongs not here in development.
OK, I did look there first (in the Epic section, anyways), but I must have missed it...
Some of the devs in the irc channel didn't even know, so I thought it was worthy of mention here, as much as a one click root is stickied in this very section.
If this thread needs to be deleted, so be it, I thought I was doing a service, calling people's attention to it, and outlining what steps should be taken, after using it.
Edit: now I see a post in the apps section, but my notes here are still very pertinent, to anyone relying on the gingerbreak.apk
theimpaler747: do what you will on this thread, it was intended as a public service announcement, and just might affect the development of the epic, especially since it'll most likely become the new root for gingerbread. I leave it up to you and your judgement.

First off, I suspect any one click scripts for gingerbread, would have to use the gingerbreak binary, also listed and linked in the Chainfire post.
Hopefully, before GB is released (and hopefully a patch hasn't been, for rooter's sake), we can make an apk that flashes a proper recovery in bml8. (Preferably, in my opinion, to cwm 2.5.1.0, until the user decides to convert to ext4, which can be done with a subsequent cwm zip, like the cwm3.0.0.6.zip in my ReRFS Stock ROM post.)
joeykrim has made a kernel flashing apk (FlashImage GUI, in market), but at my behest, left out the ability to flash bml8, due to the fact that if a corrupt kernel is flashed there, odin or heimdall is required to fix it, once a 3 button boot is attempted to a corrupt bml8 flash.
For now, I would recommend a manual bmlwrite bml8 flash for a known good recovery kernel, for anyone using the gingerbreak method.
Also, some kernels, like my Clean Kernel, have reboot recovery to cwm 2.5.1.0 if RFS, and, can be flashed with the free SGS Kernel Flasher apk from the market. Once reboot recovery is achieved, cwm can be flashed to bml8, using the zip tools in the ReRFS post.

Actually, you can convert to ext4 too, with the cwm3.0.0.6.zip posted in the ReRFS ROM thread... just flash it through cwm 3 button boot, or from reboot recovery with the kernel... keep in mind, that reboot recovery won't work for ext4 with the Clean Kernel, at this point in time.
but anyway, there's still nothing you can't do without a computer!

Also, almost all the links are phone friendly now, especially if you use the Dolphin HD Browser to download files, and the app names, are now market links, in the hopes that will make installing them even easier from the phone.
The only link that is not a direct link, is to the actual gingerbreak.apk itself, which is contained in an xda post, that requires xda registration to see. I respect that and the original dev, and will not give a direct download link, without Chainfire's expressed permission. I do think others will understand this.
Anyways,
Hope you all dig it!

The one-click is super simple. It only requires that you have Java installed. There are three different ones here:[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. Whatever you're getting from samfirmware.com is old, as I recall. I don't think they had anything past KI1 or KI3...something like that. The one-clicks are all based on KJ6.

It's OS-agnostic because it uses Java. You can execute that command on Windows, Linux, or MAC OS. I also want to say that you can double-click it from Windows and/or MAC and it will execute. I have not tried that method.
If you want to see if Java is installed (I don't know MACs) open a terminal and issue the command: java -version
It should return the version of Java you have installed, if it's there.
The one-click kernels are not available on the market; you'll have to grab 'em from here

hmm ok.. i think i'm going a bit over my head on this...
Basically all I want to do is to install a custom ROM on my phone. I dont really know all the terms bootloaders and kernals and the like (the one click on the VIbrant was super easy.. just plug and play..)..
But I don t want to download the wrong thing and brick my phone either..
So a couple of questions:
1. So on the link, which one am i supposed to download?
2. As per instructions on the link, do I type the commands in the terminal window? And if so does it download automatically into my phone?

Hey I think this was one of the problems I was having with Heimdall.. some files are missing or I can't find them:
On 4B (on your instructions page) it says "Open the unziped heimdall folder then open the the "drivers" folder and run (double click) the "zadig" application"
But there is no "drivers" folder (I downloaded Heimdall Suite 1.3.1 (Binaries) from the glassenchida site)

My guide is for windows installation. if you did it right you got the Mac version. It sounds like you already un zipped it so Try putting your device in download mode and opening the one click you downloaded or heimdall front end. It should auto install drivers or prompt you with on screen instructions to do so (if not drivers whatever Mac calls them).

I was looking at that at one time... and I started writing down all of the files that get installed with the mod... but then I got to the /system/etc/ folder and gave up...
If you're feeling motivated, check out the attached zip for everything it installs, and then you could attempt to remove those files... by your method of choice.
NOTE: NO ONE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO FLASH THE ATTACHMENT - sorry for yelling, but it's not a flashable zip, just the system folder from the BeatsAudiob0314.zip for reference...
You should probably cross-reference and take the proper files from a stock ROM you have lying around though, because a few of the files are replaced, like /system/etc/media_profiles.xml and /lib/libreverbwrapper.so & libvisualizer.so (and possibly others?)... In fact, if you do manage to do all of that it would definitely be worth making a "remove beats audio" script/zip
Well, I removed it from the rom after setting it up with rom kitchen. This has worked before, but now it will not flash, I get an error in CWM that says something about status 0 and it aborts the zip install I think that has something to do with the update binary. anyone have any ideas?

Yea, that sounds like an updater-script or update-binary file issue... You could try borrowing the META-INF folder from a different flashable rom...
Or maybe you could remove the necessary files through adb in recovery (or make a script if you can - that's beyond me) and make a smaller update.zip with the files you need to replace. I have much better luck making small flashable zips as opposed to full roms. Either way, good luck! And keep us posted..

Well, I removed it from the rom after setting it up with rom kitchen. This has worked before, but now it will not flash, I get an error in CWM that says something about status 0 and it aborts the zip install I think that has something to do with the update binary. anyone have any ideas?

Status 0 refers to an issue eighths updater-script. Make sure you have a semicolon at the end of every line, and the line endings are in Linux format if you using windows.

...and a blank line at the bottom of the script..
Another thought... don't know how well it would work but - you could possibly make a cwm backup, get it on to your comp, open the system.ext3.tar with 7-zip, and do all of your deleting/replacing through 7-zip... then close her up, move it back to your sdcard and restore as normal (or restore system only).. obviously not touching the name or md5 sum..
again, never tried anything like that, but it sounds possible (in my head at least)...

well all I need to do is replace and delete the right files, I am almost done with a flashable zip to just do that. do you know if the files that were listed as needing to be replaced instead of deleted (which is true) will work on all devices? I would like to post this for other device users to use if so.

That I do not know.
But, if you could do it for our phone first (keep it in the family ), I'm sure others would eventually port it to their device if it doesn't work right.. sounds like it'd be a very useful "anti-mod", if you will...

EDIT: Just found an unistall zip by H3ROS here (check posts #18 & 20). But, I think it's a dud.. I opened the zip and it's only the pvplayer.cfg.

all right, I will finish it with what I have for replacements on our phone, then see if anyone else will test it on some others. is there a good way to make sure it worked other than making sure nothing is force closing and the files are gone?

That's probably the best you can do.. if it boots, no FC's, audio still works, files gone, then you're probably good to go. I would offer to test it but I got no beats mod installed right now... Did you successfully remove it on yours?

not yet, there are a ton of files and I have to manually type out all the file names into the zip updater file, so it is taking forever, I'm getting close though. I will put it up in an hour or so, assuming it works.
What a pain in the arse. I installed beats, to my dismay, it hurt sound quality. The voodoo sound mod is much better. If you made a backup, I didn't, prior to install you are in good shape otherwise, full wipe and reinstall rom. It would be great if someone made an uninstall zip. Good luck!

my uninstall zip will be up in less than an hour, assuming I am not doing it completely wrong! It should work on the Atrix 2, but some files get replaced, not deleted. I think this should be fine, cross platform but you know the drill, not my problem if it does something bad and all that stuff.
getting status 0with the zip even though I wrote it in Ubuntu. any ideas

Trying to root and install CM10. On CM's wiki it says to Place the libusb-1.0.0.dylib library from the zip inside /opt/local/lib on the machine...I've researched and played with this all day, and I have no clue what they are asking me to do. I am pretty sure that's where my error is. When handshaking with Loke it fails to respond. Using Heimdall on a mac.

Heimdall is very flaky on the Mac. Try completely removing Kies and see if that helps. Thats what got it working for me the last time I used it. Now I just boot into my windows partition and use Odin. It never fails.
And btw - there is no /opt directory on the Mac unless youve installed Darwinports or made it yourself. Even still you would have to add it to your $ PATH. You could move it to /local/lib if your comfy with unix commands. I dont remember having to do anything like that though but its been awhile.

Already removed Kies, that was the first problem. Was saying no device connected for download mode beforehand. I have parallels and may just download odin and find other instructions to do it through windows. Not sure if it's Heimdall being flaky or me just not understanding what CM means by placing that file in the library.

Yeah opt=optional. Its just another directory you can put executables in to keep them separate from the system and users own /bin, /lib, etc. Port apps like Darwinports installs its stuff to /opt and Fink uses /sw. Same function but different locations.
I think I tried Odin using Parallels/Win 7 (that was before I just boot camped it) and I think it worked. Just gotta install the samsung usb drivers.

I have a non-rooted Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 that was factory reset, so I'm trying to dump the data partition sector-by-sector to microSD to try to recover data.
Since there is no way to mount the internal memory as a hard drive through USB, it makes the most sense to use an aftermarket recovery which can read the sectors and write them to an image file on the microSD.
But I don't know if CWM or TWRP can do this. Obviously they can back up to microSD, but I've never heard of someone having issues with the 4gb file size limit of FAT32. That means the backups are always smaller than the full size of the internal memory!! Somehow they have a way of distinguishing used space from empty space, but the empty space is exactly what I need to copy in order to recover files.
Which brings me to the next issue-- the size of the partition images. TWRP apparently supports exFAT so that shouldn't be a problem. CWM seems to require some hacks. So does anybody know how to force TWRP to backup ALL sectors of a partition to microSD?
Edit: The DD command would also work but I don't know if it's enabled when you ADB in to a Galaxy in TWRP. I can't just try it because I lost the USB cable.
You can use Android Terminal Emulator on the phone and use the dd command providing you have Busybox installed.

The problem is that requires rooting and downloading/installing a big app, which will overwrite a bunch of data... Right? Unless you can keep the files confined to the system partition I guess.
Just found out that TWRP can split up the backup so it can even use a FAT32 microSD. Pretty cool.
I just wish I could find out if it backs up the "empty" sectors. I emailed Team Win and they didn't reply.
I imagine that you could write a CWM zip that would copy the terminal emulator apk to the /system partition, but if I were you I would just shell out for a stock USB cord to use with ADB shell. You can find them online cheaply, and if you plan on doing any sort of rooting/customizing, you'll need one.

Oh I ordered a cord. I just meant I couldn't try it right away.
I tried some ADB shell stuff before I lost the cord and I couldn't even get it to list partitions. They really lock it down I guess. As I understand, you do have ADB access from TWRP, but I don't know if all the commands work or if you have root access.
Edit: It turns out TWRP backs up the boot and system partition as IMG files using the DD command, but all the others are backed up as simple zip files. I guess they decided no one would want to get a raw image of the data partition. Seems strange because extracting files from raw sectors is a common method of recovering files from camera memory cards etc, so why not a tablet/phone?

Try the adb root command.

That would give root access while you're connected to the Recovery with ADB shell? Just type "root"?
So long as the device is actually rooted... Oh. Darn. I just remembered that the stock ROM has a bug that stops this from working. There's a kernel (flashed with ODIN) that fixes this for p5xxx, but it's not for 3xxx tabs. Maybe that's because they don't have the bug, though. Try it and see, but it may or may not work.

Well it's not rooted to begin with.
I'd be happy to root IF I can root without writing anything to the data partition. So far that seems to be impossible.
What Android version are you using? I might be able to modify the standard root zip to use the /system partition exclusively.

Wow, that's possible? I think that would be useful for a lot of people trying to recover data.
Oh and what about the cache partition? Does the camera app store pictures temporarily there? If so that would be another source to try to recover pics from. Or do apps ever store docs there? Or is it not worth trying to preserve?
I was planning to use CF Auto Root but I asked Chainfire about it and he said that it can format the data partition if it becomes unreadable, so I didn't want to risk it.

Build number IML74K.P3113UEALD3
Model number GT-P3113
Well I guess this is all moot because I can't even figure out how to flash TWRP for the P3113. I downloaded an the .img file, Odin recognizes my device, and I got it into Download Mode, but I don't know how to set up the img as a tar.md5. You would think whoever made that .img would have provided instructions on flashing it, or just uploaded it as a tar.md5 since that's what you need. That's something that really annoys me about the Android community-- folks assume everybody knows what they're doing.
But the worst is all the threads where people ask how to flash TWRP to a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with Odin, and the replies are all "Just use CWM".
I found a download for the TWRP 2.2 for some Galaxy phone but I can't even examine the format of the tar.md5 because the freaking download site requires registration. Even if I duplicated the format, no idea if it would work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30694404
I think all you need to do is rename the file to "recovery. img" and use 7-zip to put it inside a tar archive, then flash the tar with ODIN.

Apparently it's not that simple. Somehow you have to integrate an MD5 checksum with Linux console commands http://androidadn.com/2012/09/how-to-convert-img-files-to-tar-md5-to-do-a-flash-with-odin3/
Edit: Better thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304
This is the IMG file I'm talking about http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27140-recoverytouchtwrp211galaxy-tab-2-7-and-10662012/
Edit: I do have a Macbook running 10.6 Snow Leopard so I think this might work http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14503/gui-tar
Edit: It can create a .tar but I don't know how to turn it into a tar.md5
Also, I was reading about Heimdall. Anybody know if it will work with just the .img file? http://www.thepowerbase.com/2012/04/slay-odin-with-the-mighty-heimdall/
Yeah, if you can get Heimdall running, you should be able to flash TWRP with that.

I will warn you, however, that I think that by default TWRP backs up to /sdcard, which is located in /data/media, so make sure to switch that.

There's now a TWRP for the Tab 2 7.0! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38809460&posted=1#post38809460
I installed TWRP and now I'm trying to use ADB to see if I have root access. But Windows fails to install drivers for the tablet while in recovery mode
Well I've tried every driver I can find but I can't install the tablet in TWRP Recovery mode. Windows sees it as "GT-P3113"
Wait... Can't I load a rooted system image onto the tablet from Odin? Wouldn't that leave the other partitions unaffected?
