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

[Cuzuaintme]

Is this working? I would love to flash


Edit: By working, I mean can I format to Ext4, and flash a normal ROM, like Borai Stock, or Monster?

I would not recommend flashing this now. It does work, but its not ready.

requisite0, question for you.
Are battery meter and data issues kernel related, CM7 problems, or a combination of both?

I don't believe the data issue to be kernel related, as the radio is working, it's just not getting on the network.

As far as the battery goes, it could be either or both, hard to tell. Most phones have a battd (battery daemon) that CM would interface with to get the battery meter going, but apparently Samsung does this differently, and I've yet to figure it out.

Only "bug" I've ran into is not being able to restore non-ext4 backups (which is to be expected).

Okay, i'll just flash CM7 just to take a 5 minute peek at it. How to i install it? (Format data,system??)

I don't know how to use the adb shell thingie wouldn't it be possible to make that command into a batch file just wondering otherwise I'm going to wait and thanks for the hard work op

Only "bug" I've ran into is not being able to restore non-ext4 backups (which is to be expected).

The reason for that is because the file system was backed up as RFS, formatting back to RFS from Ext4 should solve the issue.

hey.. is there anyone in here who actually is about to flash this alpha for a quick peek?..or am i alone?

 

[blizzardproof]

I want to but I have no knowledge of who to do adb shell commands

What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK

Thanks but my linix pc is down for the moment I was tinkering with it and messed up my knowledge of java didnt help but is there a way to make a batch

 

[SamsungAdmire]

@op, there is a bug that happened before. if you try to reboot the device it'll be stuck on the android screen, this is possibly due to it reflashing the new recovery, idk.

you don't need Linux. I'm using it on my Windows PC. I only use linux for more complex things, like recompiling a kernel, or messing with Java. This is actually really simple.

He gave you the command to do -_______-

Okay, so I tested it before with Req. for data. It looks frozen at first when you install the CM7 Alpha but give it a few minutes and it will move on.

Thanks about to attempt if I mess up can I return to stock

You may have to use ODIN to recover the old 5.0.2.7 version of CWM to use your back-up. But yes.

 

[SamsungAdmire]

restored everything just fine+smoothly.

You probably should do that. I didn't and it worked but I reccomend it.

After flashing everything I left my phone alone for a little bit and did the adb command.

I hate to be the n00b of the thread (and Android as a whole), but can I flash the kernel and recovery and maintain/reflash Admiral Beast? I'm waiting on CM7 to be a little cleaner, but if I can't do the above I'll wait.

If so, what bugs may I encounter?
