I rooted my skyrocket and flashed CM7 Alpha Version 3 ROM.
I wasn't able to receive calls, or txt messages.
Also, does anyone know if I can uninstall ADW.Launcher From CM7? I want a pure google based ROM. I like Pure google, but dont wanna slap down the price for a unlocked nexus...
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
Flash the new version alpha 4 with da_g new cm7 v4 kernel and that should solve your problem

I had to flash DaG's kernel even with the latest update to CM7. My WiFi wasn't working before I did.
You will also need to restore backed up APN settings for data and LTE to work. I tried entering them manually (as outlined in the OP for the ROM) and it didn't work.
There isn't a vanilla Android ROM for this phone yet, at least not to my knowledge. You could try making one I suppose, but that is no easy task (nor is it risk-free!).
Good luck!
i've been searching a bit and haven't found the answer yet.
but does anyone know which rom should i get if i'm looking for a ROM similar to the stock rom? except with a few tweaks of course, and removed bloatware.
imo, i don't like these custom builds.. the UI format always changes. if i get used to a particular ROM, i'll have to make a change later down the line when i get a new phone.

To be honest the best you will have is mohans embryo based on stock with ROM customizer very closed thing you can get with stock and some tweaks. Besides that the next thing is mohans pure stock ROM and then u can search xda to add your tweaks your self

thanks for recommendation. i'll look up that ROM.
currently im using sky jellybean.. GPS doesn't work, as well as pinch zooming. those are 2 really important features for me, so im going to have to find a new ROM.
i have it installed, and so far so good. pinch to zoom actually works as well as GPS. that's all i really wanted. thanks.
Ya, Embryo is indeed your best option as it's stock based and ICS.

actually the data does not work. there's always something wrong with a custom ROM for me. maybe there is a fix for it, but i dont want to continue changing custom roms. think i'll just root the stock ics rom.
i've flashed to 4 roms now. sky ics was first. data did not work. then sky jellybean, where pinch to zoom didn't work along with GPS. now with this rom, then alien rom, where the rom would not load. data does not work but pinch to zoom and GPS work. kind of strange to me, since i never experienced this many issues with the galaxy s or the i777.

Embryo works great, you have a case of user error. I've used all those roms with no problem. Think about it, every Rom is not messed up, it's you that's messed up.

no, not really. i flashed the roms as per instructions except for the backup part. sky ICS didn't have the APN info set up by default, so i could have fixed the issue by adding the info.. but it was never provided in the original OP.
i just fixed the problem by adding all the APN info, which was not included in the OP. i was lucky and ran into a post with all the info on settings.

That's not luck; it's called reading. The dev doesn't have to include every little detail in the OP that will address every single possible issue. Knowing that data problems correlate to APN settings is common knowledge if you have read enough.

Hello all,
I made this over at the GNex forums for a stock GNex 4.2/4.2.1 kernel... here it is for the Nexus 7 for those that accidentally flashed a 4.1.2 kernel or just want to get back to stock.
Flash at your own risk, should work just fine though!
UPDATED: Kernel should work now! Sorry about the bad zip before!
Will it work on 4.1.2? I have AOKP on my device, would like to flash this, just need to check if it's safe...
Cheers

where were you couple of days ago when I was dealing with the issue - trying to flash stock kernel.....wish you posted this before.
I will save this just in case :silly:
thanks!!!
I flashed LeanKernel and then wanted to go back to stock kernel before flashing latest Faux Kernel.
So I have just flashed your kernel but "about tablet" is telling me I still have LeanKernel installed?
If you can overclock then you're still on lean kernel. Either way, I'd suggest a reflash.

It was definetely still on LeanKernel, I tried it twice.
Only issue could be that I was using an older version of TWRP that wasn't updated for 4.2, but it seemed to flash ok.
edit
Ok, tried it again now I have the updated TWRP and the same thing happens...i.e. nothing, it flashes in the normal way but changes nothing.
This is all wrong. The boot.img inside does not match the one from the N7 nakasi factory image and the updater-script is written for the Galaxy Nexus.
Code:
"of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot");
N7 certainly doesn't run OMAP. Flash at your own risk, indeed.
I urge you to take this down and make sure you know you've got it right before you put it up again. Only saving grace here is you were using the platform by-name method (which just plain won't work on the N7) instead of the actual mmc block names or you could have really messed up some peoples' devices.

My mistake. I thought it would just transfer over. I will fix the link... Didn't realize when I tested it I already had the stock kernel on there. Gimme a minute to fix it!
OK should be fixed and good to go! Again, my apologies!

Please try again... I have updated my zip and tested it by flashing a 4.1.2 kernel, having the device sit at the X for a few minutes without doing anything (to test a non-working kernel) then flashing my zip, and my N7 is back up and running again.
I am still learning about kernel stuff... sorry about any confusion!

Negative. This is the stock 4.2 kernel... I found the stock 4.1.2 kernel on XDA... Should be easy to find!

Where can I find the stock kernel for the Galaxy Nexus running on 4.2? If you can redirect me to the link, I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

wasn't that hard to find out, but here you go: stock kernel
This is JOP40C kernel for 4.2 but will it work on JOP40D 4.2.1 stock ROM please ?
I've added this kernel to the Nexus 7 Complete Index

BTW..Excellent system stability with this kernel and rasbeanjelly ROM. Tested on my daughter.

Can anyone confirm if the kernel listed (jop40c) is the actual kernel used in the stock 4.2.1 system? The build is jop40d, and the question seams to be getting overlooked. I cannot find the stock jop40d 4.2.1 kernel anywhere, and just do not have any interest at this time in flashing the factory image/re-rooting etc. Any help would be appreciated.

This.. I was about to post, my N7 (16g, wifi) is JOP40D as well, not 40C.
Thinking about trying out a custom kernel, but want the stock to fall back on, as it's super stable.

As it turns out, I built a "slightly rooted" JOP40D stock flash kit yesterday (mods to build.prop in boot.img, and su/SuperSU in system.img). I'm posting this reply from that.
I started with the Google JOP40D (grouper) distro to do that. I thought I was going to need to unpack the boot.img from the OP's .zip to do comparisons of the kernels (to answer your question) ... but it turns out that his boot.img has the same MD5 sig as the boot.img from Google's JOP40D... and the OP's updater-script merely flashes boot.img to the /boot partition.
That means one of two things: either the two successive Google releases (for grouper) had identical boot images (which implies identical kernels), or there is some mistake by the OP. (I don't have the 40C distro to check ... only picked up my N7 a few days ago.)
It should work in your specific case though, as you are on JOP40D.
In any event, flashing boot.img is way way more than just a kernel replacement. I haven't looked at it for a while, but I would suppose that Koush's kernel flasher is a much more appropriate technique for switching ONLY the kernel out from underneath an arbitrary ROM.
cheers
That's great info there. I'm searching for the simplicity of just flashing a kernel instead of pushing the entire boot image. Thanks for a step in clarifying this question

So I recently acquired my second G2x. I rooted it with no prob just like i did my last one,and began installing custom roms. All was going well as i had flashed a few roms with no problem. I was running Eaglesblood ICS for a cpl days,and it was working good. A few days in,it started acting funny,apps force closing,random reboots,so i decided to go back to a GB rom,Hellfire Phoenix. Flashed it,went to boot,Lg icon appears for a few seconds,then nothing. Ok,no problem,tried clearing caches and fixing permissions,still no go. At this point,I tried CM7 and could get it to boot,but calls wouldnt work,some odd clicking sound. Did some research and found out this could be caused by a bad baseband,so i flashed my backup of the stock rom,and it works perfectly,only problem is whenever i flash any rom other than stock,it either wont boot,or in call audio is borked. Any advice or links to a tutorial to fix this would be much appreciated! I am on the stock 2.3.4 GB rom with the March 11 2012 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernal....
Prepare to get flamed for not searching first. The answers you seek are already on the forum. I'll give u a quick answer anyways. Check the original post for the ROM you flash for if it's new or old baseband. Then check the stickies for info about a patch for each instance of incompatibility. If you're using a T-Mobile G2x, all this baseband/RIL stuff has been addressed. Check out the sticky thread by noahk423 in the General section.
Why would he get flammed? He searched, he just misunderstood what the info was.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843
Go there, flash the zip to fix the noise. If a phone has the newer baseband but you are using a ROM which wasn't built from G2x CM7 sources, eg, Temansek CM7, you will need to flash that zip.

A few simple questions I have about the new PACman ROM I have:
Since it's a mashup of ROMs, does the developer put out new builds based on new releases of the ROMs it's comprised of? How does that work?
When I first flashed, (from Bean's ROM, full wipe) I lost all data and was left in roaming like on the CM10 nightlies and ended up having to Odin completely back to stock and reflash from scratch, and my data was back. Now I can't seem to connect to 4G, and I've taken all the steps described in the CM10.1 thread's second post. The problem is, I didn't have to CHANGE CDMA mode to RUIM/SIM, it was already set on that setting so do I do something different or can I rule that out already?
I really hope someone can help, I can't provide any logcats, but I can see if I can come up with more detailed information if this isn't enough. Thanks!

Well I got the 4G problem worked out... Lol
Now I just have a question about how mashup ROMs are updated... Are New ones put out once one of the ROMs it's based off of has a new build, or does it just depend on the developer?
