Root CM7 RC2 - Incredible

djkeller3 · Mar 11, 2011

Since this was released a few days ago, I've been amazed that no one has posted about it.

Honestly, I was all over RC1 when it first came out and used it for about 15 minutes after downloading my apps, and that was in fact too long. There were just too many bugs, and it did not play well at all with my Droid. Since then, I went back to the Nightlies.

Finally decided to take a stab at RC2, not knowing what to expect since apparently no one has mentioned it here. However, I want to say that - after having used it extensively for the past 48 hours - I believe this ROM is literally perfect.

Everything works, wifi, tethering, all notifications and synchronizing, everything. And there are some kick-ass kick-ass wallpapers too. This ROM is absolutely SWEET, and very fast... 1500+ in Quadrant.

Using ADW EX Launcher and the stock kernel maxed out on the low and high. Anyone out there waiting for perfection before going Gingerbread, you got it now.

TV out functioning? camera can use emmc? Serious questions here I'd try it but there were always things in the asop roms that were deal breakers for me and those were 2 of em. I nailed a 1540 in quadrant on skyraider 3.5 so not sure that is a huge selling point.

You should just try it. I mean, why would you not want to? ASOP ROMs give you the maximum control of your device and CyanogenMod has more customization and tweaks than most if not anything else I've tried, and I've tried LOTS of ROMs. CyanogenMod has always been the best all-around ROM for me and for each device I've flashed it on.

A lot of people have been using it. In fact, while the build bot isn't pumping out nightlies like it used to, there's a guy on XDA that's been doing the compiling for us. I'm on what would be the equivalent of nightly #15,16 or 17, and it's been fantastic.

So with CM7 for some reason my apps button on the bottom between dialer and browser has gone away so now I can't access my apps. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I understand why you say that. My experience with RC1 was horrible. However, RC2 is the real deal. This is good enough they could make it the official release.

mine was about that stock? and on incredibly re-engineered. i scored 16something on cm7 at 1000hz and 1769 on cm7 at 1100hz :eek:

i havent loaded rc2. to me its pointless... there will always be more nightlys that contain the same code. ill stick with them untill its officially a stable release(i.e. no more nightlys,lol)

I think the battery life with this is still worse than magnolia/sense roms, and I could never get wireless tether working. I'm holding out.

If you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, everything will work fine, including wireless tether. Battery life is as good as I've ever had with my Dinc. If you're not willing to do that, then yes - you should hold out.

RC2 is running great for me I've seen Quadrant as high as 1600 at 1.075mhz mine phone won't complete a Quadrant at 1.113 ... I've only been running it for 2 days but I got 30hrs out of one charge and still had 18% left (1500mah battery) Everything I've used so far has worked flawlessly .

I went away from CM7 for a few days and went to a couple different Sense roms and man I just missed CM7 . I'm really hoping it comes out fast for the Thunderbolt once it's released I love CM7 and I don't care who knows

SecretSexyNinja · Mar 15, 2011

weird.. i just tried installing the rom and it worked. I went to the rom manager and downloaded gapps and let it reboot to install those as well. when it loaded the cynanogen 7 animation comes up, it loads and then goes to the "welcome to Adr6300" screen and when I try to press to continue it doesn't really respond and cycles back to the load screen. I can get it to go to the next menu for a brief period of time but its stuck in a loop.

Ive already recovered and wiped, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache and the same thing.. seems as if the gapps are still here and causing the issue.

Do i need to do a hard reset vs recovery and then wipe?

SecretSexyNinja · Mar 15, 2011

okay so I wiped the phone and loaded my last backup (clean install of latest official rom from VWZ). I reinstalled CM7 and it worked (like it did before). I downloaded the gapps from the sticky for the CM6 incredible over at the cm forums. I put it on the sd card (root). I restarted the phone, installed the gapps (said it was successful) and upon hitting the load screen...

its stuck in a loop again. Any ideas why? The load screen runs ~4 cycles, then the welcome screen pops up. I can get it to respond and move to the next screen... where it won't respond at all. I then goes back to the load screen and starts all over.

I have no idea what to do to fix this. I've cleared both cache and wiped in recovery. The cyanogen mod works fine until i try to install gapps.. which i pretty much have to have for all my contacts email etc.

helP?

SecretSexyNinja · Mar 15, 2011

figured it out. there's a new gapps file for cm7, dont get the one from their sticky for cm6.

I'll tell you what I miss from Sense especially the Z roms is how easy it integrates your facebook to your contacts. And maybe I'm just missing it but I see no way to manually link a contact to a FB contact, it's like ithas to be the exact name for it to auto do link them and some of my contacts have shortened names or nicknames .

Honestly that is the only thing I miss from Sense ROMS

When you're on a Google contact: menu softkey/edit contact/menu softkey/join contacts

Wow... I'm really at a loss on this... RC2 is such a sweet ROM, and I wish it was working for you. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do?

only other thing I will add is that I've noticed that occasionally, a single wipe on each of those is not enough, and there could still be data left behind that is conflicting with the ROM you're installing. I always wipe 4 times each and then install just to make sure. If you haven't done that, you might try it - it might do the trick. If you do, let us know if it works.

Have you tried changing channels? I could not connect until I did this.

I don't know if anyone has helped you or not, but try sliding your dock from right to left. This worked for me.
