sth wrong with u? as u said, EVERYONE said its good, onli u say its bad. So obviously it's your own problem. back button not sensitive cz u tap at the wrong position. and this is a rooting thread, if u wanna troll, go somewhere else.

hi guys, any known issue for the CM9 nightly build for i9100g?

i saw someone mentioning about touch button and camera also GPS button. Do you guys encounter the same issue as well? I want to flash my gf's i9100G cz her vibration not working after update official ICS and wanna get her phone themed with S3 launcher and stuff as well.

but need to make sure the CM9 doesn't create more problems than ori rom. camera for her is a main function of the phone.

yea, apparently after reading many pages.. the camera issue seems to be solved. the touch button backlight can be disabled as long as don't reboot phone. will flash for her soon.

what's the use of the resurrection .tar file? i tot just flash the .zip file thru CMW will do?

did u factory reset after installing thru CWM?

CWM is not kernel FYI..

it's a modded recovery mode.

CWM is not rooted as well. both are separated. some CWM comes along with root or vice versa..

u can flash a custom ROM without root at all, u just need a recovery mode. although most custom ROM requires root or comes with root.

basically there are three different things here.

ROOT, RECOVERY, ROM

KERNEL is different.

even thou i see u r good at flashing, but it doesn't seem that u understand the difference. Hope this clears your confusion.

no.. one does not need to root to have CWM..

root is flashed via CWM

CWM is either flashed via Odin, or via stock recovery.

the kernel heading is for the LP7 zImage file via ktool. Don't mix up.

that rooting method is for ICS..

if u use method two and failed on method two advance, u have ady lost the CWM touch. So u won't be able to boot into CWM recovery.

flashing GB kernel into ICS will result in bootloop/brick.

OK, first of all, do not confuse between kernel, recovery, root and ROM.
in codeworkx thread, he mentioned:



then following that he has another instructions for kernel



similar case to method two and two advance.
in method two, u will get TEMPORARY CWM TOUCH.. once reboot then gone..
in method two advance, u will get PERMANENT CWM NON-TOUCH version

CWM is not a kernel, it's just a recovery mode.

codeworkx mentioned don't flash this on CM9, bcz CM9 is running a different kernel and will not work with this. U need to flash this BEFORE flashing CM9, so that CM9 will overwrite the existing kernels.

Fundamentals of flashing a new ROM requires ONLY CWM. Root or no root doesn't matter, cz the ROM itself will be pre-rooted if it requires root for it's custom apps. Kernels also separate one. Custom ROMs can work with stock kernels, unless they require special tweaking, then they will include their own kernels within the ROM .zip file.

u r confused with the kernels and recovery, that's y u can't really understand his situation.

no problem bro.. enjoy yr new S3 and happy birthday as well..
