This is the version you should be using since you are on stock rom :

RFS version (for stock ROMs only, don't expect constant updates): v0.4-RFS tar |
Note: the 0.4 RFS version is not working fully - it cannot reformat partitions from EXT4 to RFS format. If you only use stock roms, this will not be a problem, but if you switch between custom and stock ROMs, it will cause issues. Please wait for the next release for this to be fixed.

So. I shud put in the rfs version first, then install cyanogen? After that put in normal version?

Yes, do in these steps :

Install/Flash :

1) CWM RFS .tar with odin.
2) CM v.1.2 (don't worry about the google apps as you'll have to re-install again) with CWM.
3) CWM v.0.5 (.zip) with CWM. Perform data wipe. Reboot.
4) CM v.1.2 follow by Google apps.
5) Reboot.
6) Download S2E or Link2SD (your preference) But I prefer S2E.
7) Reboot.
Done.

Note : FIrst time reboot may take a longer time. If after 5mins and still doesn't reboot (don't worry, this is normal), Press > Volume Up button + Off Button and hold them for about 8 - 10 secs . The phone will reboot.

During the flashing, CWM will boot up. Do data wipe and wait for Odin to finished. Reboot.

And then install using CWM , the v1.2 and google apps. (DON"T DO DATA WIPE HERE)

Reboot.

Intend to use CM?
Does that means that CM is not the reconmended rom to flash?
I see that the newer posts are about Cm1.2 so I thought it's the latest and should be the best one?

Or am I wrong?



Got CM1.2 working.
Thanks to alexysc!
Do I have to install baseband?

CM v.1.2 is the latest and the best one to-date. I said 'Intend to use" is because some people likes stock roms and don't like to 'play' around with customizations.

If you have used CM latest version, I think you wouldn't want to go back to froyo rom again. It's can be highly customized to your preference and it's fast and smooth...

waa so many update on cm.. good feedback also on new rom..
upgrade lg laa n big thanks to our fren here

Got CM1.2 working.
Thanks to alexysc!
Do I have to install baseband?
But now my bluetooth can't be turned on..

You're welcome, buddy.

Your phone already have the baseband. Check > Settings > About Phone > Baseband version. I think you should have I5503DXJP6 or JP7.
Strange, my bluetooth is working fine.

I recommend you to back up with CWM. In case anything goes wrong, you can restore everything exactly as when you backed up.

Hi I want to upgrade from CM7.1 v1.0 to v1.2, please review my steps below especially in question mark, in case there are wrong steps. thank you before.

. Remove widgets
. Move apps to sdcard (fat32 partition?) (use app app2sd for simultaneously move the apps?)
. Disable mad2sd: su -> mad2sd off
. Reboot to CWM
. Flash CWM 4.0.1.5 -> CM 7.1 v1.2 -> Gapps -> reboot
. Install simple2ext -> open -> tick all boxes
. Reboot
. Transfer back apps to phone (will be transfered to sd-ext (ext4) partition?)

1) No need to remove widgets.
2) Try to disable mad2sd first. If you have many apps and your phone doesn't have enough space, the system will abort the disabling.
If so, I would recommend you to move the apps one by one ( >settings > applications > manage applications >>>> select one by one.
You can use app2sd, link2sd to move, but these may mess up your apps data when you install S2E. So it's better to do a little more work now than to gamble with problems later on.
3) The rest of the steps you mentioned are right.
4) With S2E, the apps will be transferred to your ext4 partition.

Strange, I have gapps installed. But no youtube.

The gapps doesn't come with all the google apps as our G5 doesn't have enough memory to store all. If you want more google apps, go to this link :
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335141-add...pps-2011-08-15/

Don't install the full package. If you do, you will still able to install, but you'll get corrupted files and they will be installed partially (due to memory space).

Select Option 1b - individual apps.

You can install via 2 methods :

1) Instal using CWM as .zip file or
2) Extract the .zip file and use the .apk file and install it as usual using your phone installer. (I prefer this method).

Added on August 27, 2011, 7:42 pmFolks,

CM v.1.2 hotfix 1 is released. This is extremely fast and smooth!

Guides (Credit to Psyke83):

1) If you are using S2E, you must ensure that you have selected "Mount as ext4" in the application's preferences before upgrading.
2) Also select "Set Read buffer"
3) Don't reboot! Boot up CWM and install hotfix1
4) Now reboot.

If you are not using S2E,

1) Install S2E from Market.
2) Open S2E, click the Menu key -> Settings. Enable "Mount as ext4" (mandatory) and "Set read buffer" (optional, may improve performance). Choosing "Advanced mode" is not recommended, as it will cause extreme lag.
3) Close the app and reboot.
4) Open S2E, select the folders you wish to place on the SD card, and then close the app. (This means tick all the check boxes which can be ticked in the 1st page of S2E).
5) Changes will take effect on the next reboot.
6) Install hotfix1
7) Reboot.

Done and enjoy the experience of smoothness!

s2e doesnt work when I flash to hotfix 1

P/S: actually.. almost all my apps were corrupt after i flash into hotfix 1.. but S2E is working before I data wipe everything.. than i reinstall S2E.. and i cant even tick anything except cache

Did you select "Mount as ext4" first before installing hotfix1?
You shouldn't have performed data wipe.

Solution :

1) Restore using CWM.
2) Perform the steps stated in the previous post.

what u mean by "Boot up CWM"...is it normal recovery reboot to CWM or other else??

does we need to install update v1.2 again with hotfix1 & gapps,
or just install the hotfix1?
(im not really clear...)

TQ ^^

1) Boot up CWM means 'open' CWM.
2) You use recovery when you want to use CWM to backup/restore, install roms/hotfixes, etc.
3) Not need to install v.1.2 again, but you need to select "Mount as ext4" in the S2E first, then install hotfix1 and reboot. No need data wipe. Done.

wanna clear my head before doing it...
is it:
1)open S2E>setting>select "mount as ext4" & "set read buffer"
2)recovery reboot to CWM>install 'hotfix-1' from sd ??
3)reboot

correct my steps if im wrong... ^^ TQ alexysc

Yes, you got it all right, buddy!

OMG after flashing to CWM v0.5 + CM7.1 v1.2 + gapps, I lost all settings and apps a.k.a everything is new again, no data wipe. hmm what did I miss?
also previous folders is still there.

I just got the latest clarification from the dev. (Psyke) :
http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/%2...7-port/new/#new



Some of my apps uninstalled by themselves.
I couldn't download anything from the market and the phone reboot itself.

My solution was I restore back my previous v.1.2 without the hotfix.

If you want to use the hotfix1, do as what Psyke prescribed.

Sorry Folks, I too had the same problem...

Added on August 28, 2011, 1:02 pmA more simple solution (If you have backed up your v.1.2 WITHOUT hotfix1) :

EDIT : Move your apps to you phone first - untick all the checkboxes in S2E and reboot to take effect.

1) Remove (uninstall) your S2E.
2) Install hotfix1
3) Reboot
4) Install S2E from market.
5) Tick all the check boxes in the 1st page of S2E.
6) In the settings of S2E, Enable "Mount as ext4" (mandatory) and "Set read buffer"
7) Reboot.
8) Done.
