I'm sorry, but I have to ask a stupid question, here. I'm thinking of trying a second init rom, again. Are there are gb based or are they all .340? I'm on .602.

The reason I have to ask this is because after becoming a mod, I feel as if I've lost a bit of touch with dx rooting. I've been more busy around the forum that with my phone. Tia.

CM7 with Gingerbread Kernal (.602)
[DEV_THREAD]DroidX CM7 with Gingerbread Kernel
 
Is this the latest available through rom mgr? (I hate to use rom mgr, though)
 
the GB kernel 2init roms have market downloading issues, i am remaining on the froyo kernel til those issues are resolved. cvpcs is going to include the newest gb kernel cm7 in the nightlies once he gets it straightened out.

I can't say that I have seen issues downloading from the market, weren't some people speculating that it had to do with the newest gapps?


Steven if you do take the plunge there is a gingerblur theme out now for CM7 so you don't have to dive in all at once. :)
 
People are also saying not to use the prerooted .602 because it's causing issues with swype and netflix. They are saying to get the .602 ota and root it with the new exploit.
 
i just prefer the froyo kernel method for right now because it works, and i kinda like having a phone :p my weekend didnt have my phone for reasons i may explain tonight in the Guides Central forum :p
 
I just don't like the idea of having to flash nightlies. I fully understand bringing out fixes for various issues but I feel once every, or most, glitches are fixed a whole new Rom should be zipped up with all those fixes so you are flashing one file to get to cm7.

But hey, that's just me I guess....lol.

I'm not a big fan of nighlites either, but you don't have to install every single nightly. Only a few nightlies have really been DX specific.........I guess my point is only flash the nightlies specific to the DX or ones that have major code changes to CM7.

That makes sense but the only problem for me is I wouln't know where to begin. I haven't been keeping up with cm7 at all so I have no idea what file to flash to even get on cm7 nor do I know which nightlies to flash to fix the glitches.

I know, I should have been paying attention......lol.
 
I've been running the 09.02.11 GB CM7 since release and haven't had any issues. Flash that and sit back for a while until a nightly piques your interest.

I had to reinstall everything last night due to my own stupidity, and with the .602 sbf file everything goes pretty quick.. sbf - root - install gb cm7 - flash gapps and jakebite - restore apps

That's what I'm running right now with Jakebite Mods v8.......been running very smooth with really good battery life, just as good as ApeX in my opinion (battery life that is, it feels snappier than ApeX to me, but all 2nd-init Roms feels snappier to me :D).

Mine doesn't have any Market issues (I didn't try the stock Market, I'm using one that I themed myself :D), but I wouldn't expect any issues. It just depends on whether or not you remove any Market updates before updating the Market, but that can cause issues for any Rom.
 
I'm holding on to the .340 based CM7 for now. Like mentioned above i'm just going to wait until the GB Kernel gets rolled into a nightly.


Cougar put your big girl panties on and try CM7. I like it and i've only flashed 2 nightlies in the last 3 months because there is no point in flashing everyone....

Its obvious a huge misconception that running CM7 requires the flashing of every nightly. I have seen this brought up in many threads.
 
I was in cwr for 20 minutes debating whether or not to pull the trigger. I backed off for now. I read that some people were having trouble flashing this and I'm at work.
 
well, i tried it. wiped system/data/cache and selected mount system and then instead selecting install from zip, i selected reboot!!! oh well. I was distracted.. sbf'd and will do it right next time.
 
I can just flash the latest nightly correct? Its a standalone image? I just sbfed to froyo and I want to install cm7 now

yes just flash the latest nightly. Then flash gapps, then the all in one fix.

go here for the full instructions scroll to the red part in the first post.
 
You shouldn't need to flash anything else with the GB CM7 except gapps (unless you want to install them individually) and the jakebite mod (good tweaks).

Bigbabys: if you want the GB CM7 (the one from cougar's link) , which I highly recommend over the FroYo 2nd-init one, you need to be on .602.
