Root [ROM][WIP] CyanogenMod 7 | Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) | Current Version: 09122011

I like the new ROM PG, had an issue with it not booting, but I flashed my backed up boot .img and now all is well. Quesiton - On the Apps2sd gui, there is an option for swap, but it says it wont work with this Kernel. Any way around this you know of? Do you think swap helps with low ram device, or not really necessary?

Really? This is the first time ever, my swap actually activated on boot. Ive always had to run the TE commands to activate it. Wonder why it isnt working for you.

Ok, I'm officially calling ROM Manager "bloatware."

Flashed the new version this morning and everything signed to be working ok until I realized that even though a2sdgui said that apps were on sd, they were still going to internal and tibu wasn't showing the ext. I ran a2sd check on terminal and it said something like my ext wasn't mounted. I tried a reinstall but that failed. I noticed that the rom uses DT a2sd version 2.7.5.2 so I tried flashing 2.7.5.3 beta 4. things were looking goods until it got to the fix permissions part. It rebooted about 80% through and would not boot. Then I tried wiping and reflashing and this time I flashed beta 4 right after I flashes gapps. But still no boot. Restored backup and am gonna try again tonight. I think my ext is ext4 and that may be the issue with 2.7.5.2. might have to repartition but hoping to avoid that.

Hey guys, I flashed the newest rom of CM7 and it got past the ascend screen but now it's stuck and the back light is on but nothing's on the screen.

I had the Metro 2.2 update installed, flashed back to stock 2.1, formatted the SD card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, Wipe dalvik cache, formatted: boot,data,system, and cache and it's still locking up any ideas?

umm why would you think a 'beta' would work or be more stable than a stable release? its working on mine, but I do not use tibu. ;)

It could be that you have a card issue. I have TB and everything is working fine. You might want to do a complete format of your sdcard on your computer, repartition it, and reflash. If nothing else works, that is.
