[ROM] [NIGHTLY] CM7 on the G2x.

Important!
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
NVFlash for Linux
NVFlash for Windows
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.
Instructions
Download from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999 and flash like you would any other ROM (via recovery or ROM Manager).
Be sure to backup before flashing, and of course a wipe is necessary when coming from stock.
Gapps are available from the usual places, however do not download the version that says it is for Tegra, even though this is a tegra device, as it will not flash.

ChrisSoyars Edit:
After skimming some of the posts in this thread, here are some things that you can expect.
What to expect
- Everything working including Wifi, GPS, Audio, Camera, Front Facing Camera
- Screen off animation is not enabled, therefore it isn't broken.
- Occasional audio problems (as far as I know they have not been fixed). If audio does not play just reboot.
- Automagical brightness weridness, this is controlled by the kernel and not userspace, even having it working is very hacky.

are the battery drivers still borked?

yes, yes they are

What exactly is a nightly? Is it just like an alpha build or something? I never understood the term.

Exactly what the name implies....they make a build nightly. Consider it beta.

They are also usually buggy; so if that isn't your thing, I would avoid flashing CM 7 (or 7.1) until it's final release.

Interesting... thanks for the reply.

thanks for this. I was syncing my repo and was going to compile from source, any reason as to not continue?

ChrisSoyars tweeted half an hour ago that he is about to do the first nightly build.

Does this fix the reboot problem?

We don't do nightly builds until most everything is working, our nightly builds are "beta" status. We don't externally "alpha" test.

[ROM] [CM7] unofficial nightly

As long there is no official CyanogenMOD support on the Desire S, we must compile the nightlys from source for the Desire S.
I will compile a nightly if there are important changes or bugfixes in the cyanogen changelog.
These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
DO NOT: Post to the bug tracker
DO NOT: Think of this as official forum support; this thread will be strictly user to user support. Don't expect CM-dev help.

I think the idea with nightlies(official ones anyway) is that the users find all the bugs so the stable version can be updated with only the things that work, although i may be completely wrong

Well I think we already have too many CM version to test...No Stable version exists for cm7 though 1.3.2 of superkid is mighty close....
Even nightlys do have specs if you go through the sites....

you are right. i test every release before i upload it. if i found bugs i will not release it. but mainly the users should tell me what they find.

do not get me rom, but nightlys are not stable cm7 roms, they are nighlys with the most features in it. and if you find one rom too much.....don't test others

Btw dn't worry i test all d cfws released thru d day at nyt...
so wud test both ur releases today...
btw zulugen d download link d same as prev for new version...didnt find a new link i guess

Just my 2 cents, but I'm thinkig, there's no need of CM nightlies. We should focus first on a real stable version, like superkid's one.

We are all working together on making the cm... we are all on the same team.. and what he does can help me, and what i do can help him

hi trismegistos
Does your rom contain some custom kernel or do I need to flash Tiamat?

I agree with that, but I think it's more useful to focus on a stable version rather than on a nightly build.

KT747 10/3 wont boot

When I flash the KT747 kernel it doesn't boot, never even gets to the boot animation. (EDIT: Updating from 9/23)

I just installed. Everything good

Are you installing the correct version of the kernel for the base you are using and are you unlocked.

I posted that because the op's information was about as pertinent as my previous post. Rule of thumb, if ya want help, no problem...but atleast give us some information to work with.

What ROM are you trying to boot on? Chances are there are some merges in the new Kernel that will make an older ROM not boot.
Example: I was on CM10 M1. Couldn't boot on any of Faux's new kernels or KT747. Old ROMS didn't have new merges necessary to boot with newer kernels that had them..
or something like that. Solution - update to a newer ROM.

I'm running MIUI 2.9.7, worked with 9/23 can't see why it would work with 10/3
If the issue is ROM related I guess I'll just wait for an update on the rom

There are new merges from 9/27 that will make roms older than that incompatible.

camera not working on cm nightly 10.1

How do I fix it?
Baseband Vrlg1
Kernel 3.4.45 cm

I believe it was firmware related, but that was do to the latest firmware. I don't think that is the issue though. Have you tried flashing a different kernal?

I dont think the camera is going to work on a newer cm10.1 build w/o MF1.

Yup, needs MF1. I just flashed over 3 days ago from tw rooms that didn't need it.

Installed mf1..no luck. Do I need to wipe? I'm pretty sure worked when I first installed cm

camera not working also
Hey I had mf1, installed cm nightly 6/30. At first my camera worked no problem...but now it doesn't work at all. I'm considering updating a newer nightly hoping it may fix the problem.

TWRP 2.6

Ummm maybe I should just try myself but hows twrp 2.6 working out for those who have flashed it? Are the bugs that were in 2.5 and 2.4 still present?

I haven't done a whole lot of testing, but 2.6 has worked fine for me.

Cool. Ill give it a try myself.'

TWRP 2.6 is working just fine for me. It hangs for a couple (2-5) seconds before doing a couple of specific actions like rebooting, but that is not a bother for me because I have not problem with it.
Flashing ROMs is no problem either. I've flashed CM10.1 nightlies, Viper, bpear's seneless ROM, and another one that I cannot remember all without hiccups.
