Root [ROM] GB-CMod7-Beta

so i followed the link from this thread to try from scratch. Flashed with success. But something didn't seem right. So i went into about phone and it showed i was running a cm7 version for cricket dated from Feb.
 
That's weird maybe reppard updated the wrong rom? But then again I wouldn't have worked for other people. Ill redownload and try flashing again before I give up on this rom :(
 
I'm having the force close problem. I can't get passed the setup because it force closes and reopens only to force close again in an infinite loop. Is there any fix for that?
 
First off, thanks for the wonderful rom and all your hard work, Reppard.
Inspired by this rom to join the world of development I have created a simple fix for that annoying "Metro PCS" that haunts the status bar and lockscreen.

#DO NOT USE WITH ANY OTHER CM7 PORTS...it only works for this one :(#


To install do the following:
1:Place file in a folder that's easy to spot in custom recovery
2:Wipe the dalvik-cache to be safe
3Disable signature verification, flash, and say goodbye to the last piece of metro likeness.

This update does not change anything except the Metro PCS in status bar and lockscreen. It does not alter any images and shouldn't damage your device at all.

PM works wonders for contacting me as I use the Phandroid app more than I use my PC :D

I'll be updating this in the near future...I'll also post the UnDo if anyone wants it

(I'll be starting a new thread for updates and possibly add-ons)

To repair possible Ext: damage due to flashing over a previous rom with a2sd to a completly different rom (ex: sense to cm7)

1.Enter Reboot Recovery (i use adb for crisis control)
2.Select Partition sdcard
3.Repair SD:ext

sometimes with partitioning I've noticed the device holds on to previous .apks saved to the partion and may try to reinstall them with the flash. (Car Home is a good example)
 
you know, tweeks, i never thought of that. last time i tried flashing cm7 to check a couple features on it, i had the same problem, but the recovery i was using couldn't do a damn thing with any existing sd-ext, and that includes wiping it. so when i tried to flash cm7, i had only wiped the phone, not my ext partition. the one i'm using now works just fine, so i might try it again. =>

Joniedy's recovery doesn't always play nice with ext partitions probably due to an incorrect mount point. It will create them just fine but other than that I couldn't do much else with it. Gnm seems to work fine with ext.

Did you change anything with the animations? Windows and the lock-screen seem to slide to the right.
 
Custom recovery can be a pain...try using 7 zip to compress any valuable information or what not. Then move it tI your pc and then re partition and unzip the contents to your sdcard

Can you give me a little more detail of the problem. What exactly is force closing? Sounds like something isn't configured correctly or you haven't wiped correctly. I have flashed roms numerous times only wiping ALL cache options. That goes for dalvik cache too. You might try hooking up your USB cable and using adb run adb logcat while your phone is booting up. Pay close attention to the log when you get to where it force closes. Sounds to me like something is lingering from a previous rom installation. Lemme know what you come up with.
 
alright, so the rundown of my problem is that setup manager is force closing in an infinite loop, not being able to do anything other than to shut down the phone, i am running joneidy's recovery and had sence rom on before switching to this, ive cleared all userdata, /data,/cache,cleared dalvik cache, partitioned (ive also done ext:repair), upgraded ext3, then ive tried formatting my sd via windows then tried everything over again. nothing seems to work, hopefully you can shed some light on this problem, as for the adb log im working on it right now ill post results as soon as im done.
Cheers

Is your ext partition located before your data partition? It needs to be first in your partition table.
 
When using joneidy's recovery or i would guess GNM's recovery as well (hadn't tried it in GNM's yet but joneidy's is based off of his) to partition your sd card, it should be putting the partitions in the correct order for you, with linux swap coming first if you make one, then sd-ext, and then the rest of it for general use. At least that's the order it asks me about the partitions in.
