Isn't that the purpose of making a backup?
My googlefu may be weak but it seems like everywhere I look theres almost no information on the admire or what little there is is obsolete or extremely vague. If I didn't hate the stock system so much I wouldn't bother but I simply can't stand all this crap that came bundled with my phone.

Then rooting your phone and using Titanium to remove all the bloatware would have sufficed just fine. The purpose of making a back-up is if you know what you're doing when flashing but you flub something up.
 
every time i flash this to my phone, everything works as listed but i always get error (492) when i try to download something from the market
 
im using the OC kernel with monster 4 and it is perfectly fine, though before my phone would reboot at random times also but it is fine now

Well what I did was
1. Installed CWM through odin using the tutorial and files here
CWM? Custom Kernel? Custom ROM? Samsung Admire - Page 2 - xda-developers
2. Made nandroid backup
3. Downloaded beta2.zip and installed it as a zip from CWM
4. Same for gapps and Overclocked kernel in that order
5. When that didnt work I tried going into recovery and restoring boot and system files
Now im just stuck at the glowing samsung screen and it loops.

I'm pretty sure you have to have it flashed to cricket but check your apns make sure theyare for the cricket network just because you have the cricket prl doesn't mean your phone is connecting to the cricket network
 
okay i tried it. i connected to wifi and download apn manager pro. the settings are cricket. still no access and in the about phone section network type is metro pc.

In my experiences with the OC, I've had several random reboots. Is this normal?

As requisite0 has stated before in the Stock++ thread, even though we all have the same phones, that doesn't mean that our CPU's are identical. If you're experiencing random reboots/freezes, it's probably because your phone's CPU is from batch that simply can't handle being overclocked. There really is nothing else you can do if that's the case, besides getting a new phone of course. I know because I speak from experience :/
 
I installed the stock++ on my admire, it works perfectly but I am eager to try this. Could someone tell me if I can simply install CM7 and gapps even though I already installed the OC kernel?

I also would like to thank you requisite for the EXCELLENT work :P.

Stock++ and CM7 use different initialization scripts, which are packaged with the kernel image. You could probably get either to boot with each other's kernels, but you might be missing a few things. Flashing Stock++ installs the kernel specific for booting a Stock-based ROM, while CM7 has it's own kernel and own scripts.

In short, it'd probably work, but I wouldn't suggest it.
 
Hey req how's the development coming along? I'm not here to badger or what not, I was asking if you've made any breakthroughs with our camera working on this wonderful rom. I am so happy with what you've done so far and will donate when it's final. Also I'm not asking for an ETA, just any positive progress, because that's the number one rule with cm7 ;)

lol rest assured if/when I make progress, it'll be posted here.
 
ok, so after i thought i bricked my phone cause i couldnt get back into cwm i found out that it was pwr+vol dn+back buttons, when i was holding camera instead (damn odin threw me off... anyways, i usually use anreboot to load cwm or adb commandline "reboot recovery") but i was on the road and away from my home pc, at work 1/2 way accross the country... well anyways, i fixed my phone in a few min after i got home...

how in the hell do you get ext4 on the admire? been trying to figure it out, but ummm.. i had some serious problems trying to boot this kernel and rom...

nothing on this thread works for me, and i am an experienced user, i have cracked many phones and tablets....

im sure if i played with it enough i could get it, but im tired of trying... last error i got, when playing with the cwm provided with this kernel was "./system/format_reiserfs not found" or something similar like that...

i have 2 of these phones, and would love to get cyanogenmod to work on them.... i have all the extras too, like solar charger, extended battery, 16gig tf cards, etc....

would be willing to donate if i could get this to fully work, and would it be possibly to oc the gpu? as well as the cpu...

If you're an experienced user, why is there all this trouble? I don't doubt your credibility. But the instructions to follow in the OP are fairly simple. This is my first Android phone and I've had no problems flashing any of this. You did make sure to flash from 5.0.2.7 to 5.0.2.8 CWM right?

i think i did that... i had the original cwm that was the first release for this phone... this is the first cm availible...

no comment on credibility, i have a super computer to build my own custom android kernels for tablets and stuff, to split kernels and make ram disk boot images... and yes it takes at least 4 hours to compile a kernel... so im patient... if that isnt enough... try my website www.zero1ware.com (i hate being flamed on the net... i remember back in 1992 when it wasnt commercialized...)

i probly could build this cyanogen if i had the source, and i am very capable of getting it, but i dont have the time...

ext4 would be nice....

Well this does use the ext4 filesytem (I'm sure you know that.)

So you said you had the original CWM, that means hopefully you flashed the newer one afterwards. After which you should have installed CM7.2 Beta 2, then flashed GApps after mounting the system. Just trying to make sure everything is clear for you.

yea i think i did that, the resolution changed on my cwm.... and then when i tried to flash the rom, it said the "./dir/app/.reiser_format" (something like that) "not found... error.."

yep.... i dunno...

some things dont work yet, im patient, i have waited about 5 months for this version to release,.,, i understand progress... in fact i tried to build a custom kernel from stupid chinese source, and failed misserably.. not my fault, stupid chinese source....

Hmm.. I have actually never seen that before. Could it be a faulty CM7.2 download? Like have you tried re-downloading it?

No idea why you're getting a ReiserFS error, as we're not using Reiser, we're using ext4. You're using my CWM and my CM7 ROM as posted in the original post?

Fun fact, creator of ReiserFS, Hans Reiser murdered his wife. :D
