[Q] CyanogenMod 9 kernel - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed cm9 nightly on my nexus s. After that, I've installed matrix kernel.
Now I want to install again original cm9 kernel, without losing installed apps and settings, can I?

Sure ... just wipe cache and dalvik cache, and then reflash CM9. All your settings, apps will still be there.

[Q] CM7/Rom Manager Premium doesn't show Nightlies?

Isn't it supposed to at least show the most current nightly or am I using it wrong?
I have premium Rom Manager.
Will it not show the nightly I am currently running?
Actually rm will always be behind one or two builds, if u want the latest get it from here...
G2X
i had the same problem, i actually saw it once... then it disappeared.. weird.
So instead I copied the zip file to my sd card, then hit the button Reboot into recovery from inside Rom manager and did it that way. Works like a champ
So each time you want to install a nightly, you have to wipe data, cache, etc thus losing apps, etc. ? I know there's titanium backup, but just seems like a lot of work to continually have to go thru the setup process again.
You don't have to wipe every night. You only have to wipe if you change roms. CM7 to CM7 doesn't require a wipe.
Just like Stock to roms that are based off stock. You can flash EagleBlood right over stock, reboot and not have to setup a thing.
I only see 1 nightly.

[Q] CM7

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.

No need to remove anything. Just boot into clockworth mod, Back up your current rom.
Then wipe your data, cache and dalvik cache.
Install CM nightly.

[Q] Xoom 4G EOS ICS 4.0.3 Nightly #25 Questions

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?

Problems with the Team EOS ROM

Hi there,
My first post in here
So I rooted my Xoom (it's a UK Wi-Fi only model (MZ604) and the root worked perfectly. So I decided that I wanted ICS so tried to install the Team EOS ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484770. It installs fine but is staying on what I assume is the "flashing/loading screen" where in the bottom right hand corner the animation just keeps coming up. What am I doing wrong?
Could I just maybe install a US ROM and then use that to get the "official ICS ROM"? Can I even do that anymore? Thanks in advance for any help...

Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvk prior to flashing rom?
Did you also remember to flash the gapps right after?

Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik and then reinstall your ROM and gapps. Then reboot and enjoy.

Thanks guys, I actually managed to install the US ROM and then just updated to ICS but thanks all the same, but I've lost root access now.
Is there any significant difference from the Team EOS rom and the official ICS update?
just search the thread - universal root xoom
root your xoom
flash eos 1.0
before flashing eos 1.0
wipe data, cache, dalvik in cwm
then flash eos 1.0 and right after that (same cwm session) flash gapps!!
now you should be on 1.0 without problems

Root, custom OC GpU kernel, various driver support, full r/w on SD card, fat/ntfs USB drives, various CPU governors. Also includes EOS tools, which for example change the system icons in the bar and add batter percentage.
Not whole list, but there you go.
