Setting up CM6

[oOMavrikOo]

Here are Dec's kernels [Kernel] UncappedKernel (CFS/BFS versions) [2.6.29.6][10/12/2010] - xda-developers

The CFS kernels are the stable kernels for everyday use

The BFS kernels are great for gamers, but may have trouble holding a solid gps lock

Do I flash these like I would a ROM in recovery?

Do I flash these like I would a ROM in recovery?

Yes, flash them from recovery

In order, nandroid, wipe Davlik cache and cache, flash the new kernel

 

[oOMavrikOo]

Will doing this affect CM6? Will wiping the cache and the dalvik affect anything? Will I have to flash CM6 again?

Sorry for all the questions. I just want to make sure I understand everything before I actually do it. I don't wanna screw up my phone.

No it won't affect anything with the CM6 except you will have a new kernel and not the stock kernel

That's why you do nandroid before doing anything, then if something happens you can restore your nandroid and the phone will be as you left it

The only way you are going to screw your phone up is by flashing a GSM rom or a wrong radio. Otherwise if you are not sure about a specific rom, ask away, I'm sure someone will be able to tell you what a GSM rom is or what a wrong radio is

so what is a good starting point for min and max when overclocking? I'm gonna use OC widget.

also, will flashing a newer nightly erase the settings from the one I was previously using, or will they carry over?

Every phone will be different when setting frequencies, so there's no set frequency. You're just going to have to do trial and error.

If you flash a new nightly, you will have the stock kernel again. You will have to flash an uncapped kernel after flashing the rom

Sorry, I was asking two questions at the same time and didn't realize it. First; are you talking about the OC frequencies? Second; will the CM6, ADW, and phone settings carry over to the new nightly? Or do I still have to flash an uncapped kernal for that also?

If you flash the CM6, you will have the stock kernel. To get the uncapped kernels, you will have to flash them in recovery. If you decide to flash a new nightly, you will then have the stock kernel again. You will have to flash the uncapped again.

If flashing a new nightly, from another nightly or stable, you will need to wipe davlik cache and cache. NO NEED TO WIPE DATA. All settings will be the same as before you flashed the nightly

thanks alot. something else I was wondering was why my phone signal never says 'ev' anymore. it's always on 3g. what can I do to improve this?

I don't use CM6, but I am pretty sure 3G and EV are the same. Just a different way to name the same thing, as the CM6 ROM isn't from a Sprint phone.

Anyone using CM6...please correct me if I am wrong!

You, sir are correct. I don't know the reason, but Sprint uses the EvDo nomenclature for their 3G network. I think Verizon does too. The difference is that most aosp Roms are based from other carriers, and the 3G sticks when they port the rom.

is the version of cm6 in this thread a stable, less buggy version than the nightlies?

 

[andygu3]

The 9/18 is the stable build. At the beginning of the 'setting up CM6' thread.

The nightly builds are at the bottom of the 'setting up CM6'. Just remember there could be bugs in the nightlies so if there is a problem, they could be fixed in the next nightly

 

[andygu3]

New gapps are out http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/various/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip

Enjoy

What all does the new one have?

 

[andygu3]

What all does the new one have?

Just flashed, will let you know later. But I'm thinking there is an issue with the native email application (not Gmail app) that was causing force close issues. Don't know if this will solve that issue or the problem is with the 95/96 builds of the CM6.

FYI, I only use Gmail so maybe someone else can chime in about the email app

 

[andygu3]

What are you on now?

 

[330D]

I flashed the last newest Gapps, and it had car home, and the updated Gmail app (which is really great, BTW) Other than that, it was about the same as the old Gapps. I don't know what today's update contains, but will be looking forward to Andy's post to see what is up...

 

[BOO5TED]

What are you on now?

CM6 with the 10-08 gapps.

Nothing to report on that I'm seeing right away, again it just may be email app 2.2.1

I didn't flash gapps after I flashed the 95 nightly because Gmail, Market, Car Home, etc. are already in there. Since I did a full wipe before I flashed the 95, I should not have had the gapps I flashed with the previous ROM, so this must be from the 95 nightly, right?

If you do a full wipe, everything should be there anyways. Not sure if this is a feature of froyo or CM, but it just like doing a factory wipe on stock

 

[oOMavrikOo]

does anyone know if using rom manager to apply nightlies automatically updates to the newest gapps too?

Not sure, I believe you still have to flash the gapps from recovery

 

[Danokan]

I have the 95 nightly, the newest Gapps, and the newest kernel

For some reason my autokiller preset isn't sticking.

Anyone?
