Thanks netas3k ..... I have successfully flashed (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tass-KANG-signed) CM7 ... yesterday unfortunately I did not get any google apps... so I tried the link you provided and boss... :) it worked like charm ... I flashed gapp (gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip) in recovery mode... and after rebooting it asked me choose my google account and my location etc.. etc.. now I have my device synced with google and market.... a BIG thanks to you really... I also flash OC kernel firstly 806 but my devise keep on rebooting after some time... so I flashed OC 748 and it worked and my device is now working fine without any prob... THANKS a billion to you.... suddenly my device battery backup has boosted..:)

I have some queries though to understand CM7 further... please help

1) There is no FM radio application in CM7.... why..?
2) My wifi keep on scanning for long but do not find any network.. though there are few networks available... what do I do to rectify this prob... also I do not get wifi status in status bar ?
3) I have installed VIVID theme and applied it on my device.. How to take screenshot of my device... like you have done..?
4) Which video player should I use which supports maximum video formats like .wmv .avi etc.. CM7 player does not support these formats..?
5) what is CM update notifications under CM system settings.. I try to register but no response...

thanks buddy help me understand the above issues.... please :) :)

manishgade,

1) The FM Radio driver couldn't be ported to the CM7 so there is or will be any radio.

2) I don't understand thsi part repeat it and explain it more.

3) Hold the power button and there you will see a menu and there will be a Screen Shot option :)

4) I use QQPlayer and i'm happy with it but i opened with it only .avi files. :)

5) When you register you won't get a response :)

Hope this helps you :)

griffin2,

Do you have the KIES installed on your Win7 to have the drivers for the connection? If you don't install KIES and try then :) I use Wireless Hotspot function :)

Yes it did helped me a lot... SAD that no FM radio on CM7.. is there any possibility or any other way to have FM radio (Tuner) on our device running CM7... and yes QQplayer is awesome... I used Rockolayer before but this one is really good looking... Thanks for your screenshot regarding tip... As I said when I turn wifi on I do not get any network my device just shows status as scanning...???. I also wish to know as what is the difference between Theme Chooser (application installed in device) and the one in ADW settings as Theme preference... I have installed many themes from market but they do not show up in Theme chooser ... while the themes like NT sense installed from .apk file is showing in theme chooser...?? how do I get those themes listed in theme chooser.... ????

Many thanks :):)

griffin2,

Please stop double posting on here and on CM7 forum in XDA. Ask help either from me or from them cause if you get help from there, it's no need for me to post the answer....

manishgade,

As i said the drivers for the FM Radio couldn't be ported to CM7 so there will be NO RADIO. The theme chooser changes the theme on the whole system (system bar, icons and etc.). The theme option on ADW settings changes the theme on the Launcher :)

And the themes you downloaded from the market isn't for the CM7's Theme Chooser :)

Netas3k, Thanks and Nice... one... so would you please share the source of getting good CM7 themes ... as I do not like the signal and data signal bar in green... and which is the good launcher to have from Go launcher ex, Launcher pro, ADWlauncher pro, zeam launcher etc... (I like Go launcher's look) and which launcher are you using....? Can a theme meant for ADW launcher be applied in any other launcher and vice versa.... ?? :) :)

roofrider,

I'm using eyecandy theme :) Google it you will find it for sure :)

manishgade,

You always have a lot of questions ;) For the themes google them. I find mine from google :) I use LauncherPro Plus but i think i will change it :) Use what ever launcher you like and the one that suits your needs :) And no i think theme meant for ADW is only for ADW...

ok, i've tried installing andro-id rom by reading instructions from XDA and i was successful in flashing with andro-id, and i managed to overclock to about 700 something mhz but the problem was i can only overclock if there is no application on the sd (hope i'm right) once i tried installing angry birds on my sd and rebooted my mobile and it was stuck at boot animation i tried to go back to 600 mhz in recovery but no use, i re-flashed using odin back to stock rom, i want to know weather in CM can i overclock without need to put all my apps only in phone memory only?

Dude you didn't have to erase your whole SD Card to OverClock. But Andro - ID overclocking kernels not working quite well. CM overclocking kernels work. And i didn't need to erase the whole SD Card. Just remember to do wipe data/cache after flashing the ROM

I didn't mean to wipe the sd card, I came to know from XDA that in andro-id we can't have apps on sd card if we want to overclock, is it the same way in CM too? I know that we should only wipe the cache/data from recovery.

Actually in Andro - ID there already is DarkTremor Apps2SD setup. So you can have apps on SD without even doing something. But the OverClocking kernels doesn't work properly so.....

The new patch is a fix for the mic that some users are having. If everything works correct for you. You don't have to flash it. But i recommend to install it. When the .zip file or .apk file is signed you can be sure that the files is made by the author and it's ok. And that there are no viruses or something else :)
