Hello everyone, I have built CM7 for our A70 from CyanogenMod sources after lots of changes in the device tree

Test round #2 will begin today probably, the build is around 80mb
I won't be flooding this post with features so as to maintain the cleanliness of it :)

Usually the first build doesn't boot and you might get stuck on the logo, that won't be a problem.

Just get a copy of Android-SDK which is around 358mb from here Android SDK | Android Developers and install it as you may need to run a logcat using that

After the Android-SDK installation, go to your installation dir might be C:/Program Files/Android and shift to the tools folder in it and execute the ddms.bat file in it by double clicking.

Next connect your device using USB and see if the device shows up (Remember, do this as soon as you reboot from recovery so as to collect most of the log)

If your device shows up on it then click on it and In Device tab on the top right, click on Run logcat option.


Before reporting that the device doesn't show on the list first confirm whether it shows on froyo.

The flashing instructions are bit different here

1. Factory reset
2. Format system-->In mounts and storage
3. Format cache
4. Format data
5. Install the cm7 zip

Varun, I have everything installed but the only problem is I'm using wimdows 8 and the device is not being recognised.....[adb -d devices] is not showing anything..
 
yeah, i did it....driver is successfully installed but still no adb device...copied the [usb.ini file also]

and, monitor.bat can be used instead of ddms.bat..it says
 
Its not working even in XP...what is happening? Earlier, i had made it work

what's ddms and logcat, can you please explain?
Second question is that, can we flash this zip using cwm (v4.0.1.5 on which currently a70 works) ?
 
No, it doesn't starts up.... i waited for 3-5 mins....
I have done the flashing twice but it stops at logo....no activity after that
that logcat was of hybrid v3
 
thanks buddy!
I'm flashing it using cwm then. (can't really wait to download 350mb android sdk app to test it)

btw, it would be great if you could post some screenies of the rom?
