Root [ROM/CWM/Kernel] CM7.2-RC1-requisite0 [BETA2]

Status
Not open for further replies.
What the hell is this?
It's my build(s) of Cyanogenmod 7.2 Release Candidate 1, ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.8, and my custom Kernel.

How do I use it?

  1. First make sure you do a nandroid backup.
  2. Flash my CWM Recovery and Kernel package, then go to Advanced->Reboot recovery..
  3. Install the latest version of my Cyanogenmod 7.2 ROM.
  4. (This step is only for non-MetroPCS users) Install the Cricket Wireless or nTelos APN configuration for your data carrier (MetroPCS users can safely skip this step).
  5. Install the latest gapps (no longer necessary to mount system beforehand) zip.
  6. (OPTIONAL) Install the overclocked kernel.
  7. Select Reboot system now and wait at least 10 minutes for the market updates to take effect (connect to wifi first if data connection isn't working)(first boot might take a minute).

What works?

Wifi
Bluetooth
Data
Texting
Cell Service
USB
Camera (video)
Data/MMS (in 90% of cases)


What doeswn't work?

Camera (still pictures)
Data/MMS (in 10% of cases)

Do you provide source code?
Yes. You can check my GitHub here.

What did you change recently?
You can always see my latest changes in my commit log here.

Did anybody help you?
Of course. Shabbypenguin was there for me in the beginning. Unforgiven512 provided me a basic device profile to go off of. SuigintouLain provided the original CWM I used to flash my kernel and CWM. hroark13 helped me indirectly by providing his Galaxy Prevail device profile which helped me learn quite a bit, and directly by providing his RIL, Battery Server, and USB Controller code, and nudging me in the right direction for fixing data. Angablade has helped me with many ideas, and eventually we'll be collaborating on the kernel. And last but not least, pressy4pie for helping me test and being a good little monkey.

Can I PM you?
You can, but you'll get a faster response if you join us on IRC. (irc.irondust.net/#admire)

Wait, I want to go back to stock, but your recovery won't let me!?
Don't panic, just install SuigintouLain's original CWM and restore from your nandroid backup you made earlier. (You DID make one, didn't you?)
HERPEDY DURPEDY YOU CAN INSTALL THIS USING CWM HERPDERP


Me want eye candy!
Easy, it's attached below.​

REMEMBER:
Back up everything. This is alpha quality software.


Alright, so this is a prerequisite for the CM7 alpha I'll be posting in a little bit.
This will give you a kernel and recovery with ext4 support. You can flash the zip in your current CWM (hopefully).

Download here.

CM7 is coming soon. Just a few kinks to work out.

So my phone is stuck on the ANDROID screen before it boots into CWM.

**EDIT: Got it to boot into CWM by holding the buttons.

The cwm and kernal installed but when I choose reboot system now it gets stuck at the small font Android screen. So basically I cant get into my phone. Gonna use Odin to get the old cwm back

All you have to do is keep holding the buttons to boot into recovery.
Go to restore.
Hit advanced and restore boot.
Fixed my device.
