FAQ:
- I cant boot CM7.2 after installing / I get boot loops after installing / Why do I need to do two different factory resets?
- Each factory reset clears different sets of data, the stock one only clears what's normally needed to be cleared.
An analogy would be that: stock clears: ABCD, recovery clears: CDEF.
- Each factory reset clears different sets of data, the stock one only clears what's normally needed to be cleared.
- My battery life is bad / My wifi does not automatically turn off at sleep
- The rom currently has a bug in that it ignores the current wifi sleep setting and always leaves it on, a workaround is to manually turn it on and off via the notification bar
- Does the rom really support overclocking to 2.5 GHZ?
- No, it was mistakenly added, it only really supports OCing up to 1.190 GHZ, anything higher does nothing.
There is a patch in the files section to set it back to the stock defaults
- No, it was mistakenly added, it only really supports OCing up to 1.190 GHZ, anything higher does nothing.
- Google Market is missing
- You must also flash the GApps package, it is not included by default in CM roms
- What is the difference between the normal (MDPI) and HDPI zips?
- Each rom only includes assets (icons/bitmaps/etc) for their respective DPIs, you should pick MDPI if you prefer 160 DPI and HDPI if you prefer 240 DPI
- What does the RC0 in the title stand for?
- Cyanogen 7.2 itself is not released yet, this rom is based off 7.2-RC0 (ie when it was still in beta), the latest build is RC1
- Does this mean there will eventually be a CM9/ICS port?
- No, as this rom uses the stock 407 drivers. The drivers would need to be ported to ICS before you can have a working ICS rom.
- Are there any themes for this rom?
- Not directly, but there are hundreds of compatable themes for CM7/Tmobile theme engine enabled roms.
Any theme made for CM7 should work on CM7.2
- Not directly, but there are hundreds of compatable themes for CM7/Tmobile theme engine enabled roms.
- How do I install the apks in the Optional Mods section?
- If they are update.zips: Flash them though a custom recovery
If they are apks: Sideload them though your preferred method (Browser, Root explorer, adb, etc)
- If they are update.zips: Flash them though a custom recovery
