At least some major improvements for CM7.
Doesn't have to pretend to be GB in build.prop.

Niceee. When you say working camera is that to say the camera in the dev section isnt 'working'? I've tried it out and it works great!

Probably add the add the ability to have different governors on custom kernals now

Is there an updated "how to install CM7"? I've searched around and keep finding bits and pieces of what I want, but not the whole picture.
I'm on a stock rooted g2x but want to make sure I do this right. I've flashed CWM recovery with NVFlash. Do I need to update with LG tool to get the latest baseband, or do I just flash CM7?

I thought this was caused by Tegra 2 not being compatible with certain governors... That's what I heard anyway. Hope it's not true. I miss the freq governors.

If you want the latest baseband, you have to go through LG's flasher or the OTA update. However, this is not required for CM7. CM7 is happy with either baseband version.

Thank you very much.

Finally! Maybe now, we can fix the data issues in CM7!

A2DP!
I, for one, can't wait for A2DP on CM7. That would make this device PERFECT for me.

I haven't noticed any improvement from old baseband to new, so just flash CM7 and don't worry about the LG updater tool.
1. Nandroid backup using cwm
2. wipe using cwm
3. flash cm7 (just get the latest nightly: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=p999)
When you flash subsequent nightlies/RCs of CM7, you can flash right over the previous CM7 flash, just be sure to wipe cache/dalvik cache and do a repair permissions before booting into new CM7 flash. At least that's my little ritual, not sure how much it helps.

No we still need source from nvidia for a2dp, this does nothing for us in terms of that, just custom kernels, roms etc

Inspire 4G and the cyanogenmod (questions)

Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?

please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock

This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

ALL the information you seek is already here, but you have to READ
Sorry if all you want is someone to hold your hand and spoonfeed information to you
NEW or not, it doesnt matter. I was NEW to this phone when i got it. I READ, the same way i have done with all my other phones. I READ to understand what i am doing and how to do it.
heres the first thing you should have read when you came to the inspire boards:

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine

Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?

Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?

you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section

Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?

did you touch the android to begin?

Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

you can install any rom you like in recovery.
boot into recovery
go to mounts and storage
mount usb storage
on your computer, copy the rom zip onto the phone
back,
install zip file from sdcard
browse to rom zip
confirm flash

no. this will leave you an unrooted stock rom
why dont you browse the dev forum here and look at all the ROM offerings?

I think i will just go with the stock one and the do the same procedure (using the hack kit and just leave it stock rooted....
would that be ok?

What is this rom manager you speak of? I've never heard of a working rom manager for this device. Does rom manager work? Perhaps the answer is posted here somewhere?

No. Not yet.

For GB, just flash (oden/heimdall/heimdall one-click) any gb kernel in the dev forum and you should get CWM (unless the kernel is a fully stock kernel, like the first one in my one-click collection).

A little lecture could help you. This has been answered like 100 times a day.
Use latestodin, flash ravers kj6 odin rom (yes, you have to be in dl mode and rom file goes in pda and i think you need to decompress the .zip file so u use the .tar) and after that just flash drhonk kj1 kernel so you can get root and cwm. Then you can flash gb roms without problem.
Theres a big post saying that Rom Manaher doesnt work wotj raver.

actualy rom manager has a Galaxy s 4G setting now so yes it does work

No. "NO" means "no".
If you don't believe me. Go ahead. Flash it, then wonder why you can't flash anything from it or do anything with it.
Everyone who has told you that it doesn't work is trying to save you time and headache.

Also, tehgyb gave you all the good links (thanks man!)
Instead of insisting on using rom mangler, you should listen and read.
If all you want is clockwork mod + root + gb, just heimdall one-click my kj6 kernel and stock rom... The link that says: Download SMS KJ6 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders
After you run that, you can flash roms with CWM (not rom manager) as you wish, and you will always have root with that kernel.

i traded my samsung galaxy s 4g phone for a g2x and the g2x is flashed and rooted. now there are a few problems with it. one manger one is that there is no market/play store icon anywhere im running on 2.3.7 model number is LG-P999
kernel version is 2.6.32.55-cyanogenmod [email protected] and mod version is cyanogenmod-eaglesblood_build-2.8 now im not sure if everything is up to date. figured if someone can help me with this.

For the market and other apparently missing. You need to download the latest Google apps. The link is on some of the android development pages. I would look but iI'm on my phone.e

Go to eagles blood ROM 2.8 GB in Android development. Read thru it to get your gapps.

Using your phone , go to eagles blood website.
www.eaglesblood.com
Click on the download tab and select the phone that is P999... at the bottom of that page is the gapps download link.
Once you have downloaded Google apps, you can then install it using CWM. If you need more detailed instructions, they have them posted on their website. If you need more help , just ask. This is a pretty friendly forum.
Don't quote me. I'm probably wrong.

Go on cyanogenmod's website. They'll have flashable zips if you prefer to go that way.
LG and T-Mobile will be pushing the V21y baseband update over the air, so you'll be able to get it by going into the software update menu in Settings> About phone. This was posted in another thread about the updates - http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362

No, the latest is March 2012 baseband but then you can't use any other custom ROM with that baseband so in a way you are up to date.

No go. You will be able to use it but your calling feature will be abnormal. That is static sound when you call or when some1 calls you. Basically defeats the purpose of having a phone.

[Q] Bricked my phone

Hello,
First of all I'm a n00b at this, so bear with me.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S phone that came with FROYO 2.2.1. I tried upgrading to CM9 following the instructions in cyanogenmod full update guide wiki.
I encountered a few problems though:
1. That guide is for Android 2.3+, so I had to go to the Samsung website and upgrade the firmware to GINGERBREAD.
2. Apparently, my phone doesn't go into download mode by using the side buttons. So I had to do it using ABM.EXE.
Finally, I was able to install CWM Recovery 2.5 using heimdall. I wiped out data/factory reset, cache partition and Dalvik cache. I go to the download folder to install CM9 nighlty zip and I get a STATUS 7 error.
Now my phone doesn't even load. WHAT DO I DO?!!!!!!

Fancy paperweight

Do you have a Samsung t959v or t959? If its t959 ur in the wrong forum and if u have a t959v then you flashed a rom meant for another phone.
If you have a t959v and can get to rec or download mode then try flashing kj6 one click but seems like you don't have this phone.
