Hold power and select screenshot

 

[jackdsparker94]

Doesn't give me the option haha

 

[brezzo]

Don't you get this option?

 

[jackdsparker94]

No I'm using cyangenmod RC 7.1 if that helps

 

[brezzo]

Try upgrading to 7.1 stable or the latest nightly, the RC is just a really old nightly build, it probably doesn't have it.

That means loosing all my contacts and apps again

Actually updating you don't lose any data!

1. Download the update zip from cyanogen website.
2. Copy to SD card
3. Reboot into recovery with CWM (rom manager or nvflash, rom manager is easier)
4. Optional nandroid backup (recommended)
5. Navigate to advanced > wipe dalvik cache (optional but helps stop boot loops)
6. Clear Cache Partition
7. Install Zip from SD card - select the new cm7 zip

Enjoy

Just another thing, don't stress if it takes a while to reboot for the first time after the update. As long as it's not sitting there doing a vibrate and repeating for a long time, it's just loading Might take up to 5 mins or so. I say this because I thought it was stuck in a boot loop and shat a brick once, nearly gave up but it finally booted

 

[jackdsparker94]

Haha yeah i know same thing happened when i first flashed cyangenmod 7. 1

Good lord, RC1 is like two months out of date!

When updating, there is no need to wipe any caches, it's automatic as the old cache becomes invalid. The slow first boot is due to the dalvik-cache being rebuilt.

 

[jackdsparker94]

So just download a cyangenmod or a nightly? And flash.

Keep all apps and contacts though yeah?

 

[Rusty]

Take your pick, a nightly will have a few new bits/fixes. If you go the nightly route you'll end up with a flashing habit

Personally I would take a new nightly over release as there was a lot of changes to the O2X back end in #177.

CyanogenMod nightlies changelog for P990

Just grab it, and flash, no need to wipe anything.

 

[jackdsparker94]

Awesome im going to try it now :d

 

[jackdsparker94]

its just flashed

No real difference except i now have the screen shot option and i like how it says 2.3.7

 

[jackdsparker94]

Screen shots are working nicely now thanks
