[ROM] CyanogenMod - No, you can't have a pony (STABLE) [UPDATED 03/04 - v4.2.15.1]

[raven_raven]

Is the Samsung i5800 supported by this mod? I mean, can I flash this also on the i5800?

Thanks in advance.

OMG NO O_O. Why would it be? While it was created no one really knowed that something like Samsung i5800 will be produced...

Just flashed my G1 to 4.2.15.1 and now my Enter, Home, and Call buttons don't work. The phone recognizes that they've been pressed (if the phone is dark, the buttons all light up) but nothing happens. Enter doesn't send my texts, Home doesn't bump me back to my Home screen, and Call doesn't bring up my Dialer. Oddly, Call still sends what has been typed into the dialer and answers incoming calls.

Edit: Also trying to get Android Market on this...

Sounds like a bad flash.

Use Ohsaka's superwipe, then power the phone all the way off.
Reboot back into recovery and flash the gapps base FIRST.
Then flash rom.

On first boot, let it sit for a solid 10 to 15 mins before you sign into google. There are lots of background processes going and interrupting them too early can cause instability in the rom.

Slow down and reread everything very carefully.

2708 ports?

Does anyone know if there is any ports for this rom to work with the 2708 radio and the new spl? I'd like to take advantage of the extra ram. what about a kernel?

Use the 28.25 radio instead. Should work fine with ezterry's kernel. Link in my sig. I used that kernel successfully with my oem Donut on the newest radio and spl, and it was ****ing FAST!! Pandora and Navi at the same time with no lag.

I am coming from LeeDroid where I am having unacceptable issues, and since LeeDroid doesnt make a difference between GSM and CDMA ROMS I am feeling a bit stupid to ask the following, although I googled quite a bit to no avail:

How can I find out whether my Desire A8181 (bought in France) is GSM or CDMA, which Cyanogen ROM to install respectively?

Thanks for your patience!

Phateless,
thanks for your quick reply!

The specifications for both phones on the (generally pretty helpful) wiki vary in either the cpu and connectivities. While I am not able to find out about which cpu is in my device, the connectivities might give some more clear hints.

CDMA:
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, microUSB, A-GPS, FM Radio

GSM:
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, microUSB, A-GPS, FM Radio
Quad-band GSM 850 900 1800 1900 MHz GPRS/EDGE and Dual-band 900 2100 MHz HSPA/WCDMA

If these lists are each complete, and since my display does show "E", "G" or "H", can I safely assume my phone is a GSM one?

Sorry to bother more, but I am certainly concerned about choosing the wrong one since I read it could ultimately brick my phone.

It's tough because what displays is partially controlled by the ROM. You said you're on a Desire? I wasn't aware that the Desire could share ROMs with the G1... How did you find your way to this thread?

The best place to start is in hboot, and the Desire part of this forum. There's bound to be a newbie guide/FAQ that will help you figure this out.

 

[phensta77]

How did you find your way to this thread?

I was simply using the search function - sheesh, and of course I didnt pay attention on the forum this thread is in.

I will move over to forum.cyanogenmod.com (or the Desire section in here) and see if I can have anyone confirming my assumption - in the proper subforum

Thanks again, Phateless!

Haha no worries, you're not the first, you won't be the last, and of course I've done it myself. Good luck!

Btw, this thread is a DONUT ROM, lol. It's that old.

If you bought it and used it in France then it is a GSM capable unit. France only has GSM. GSM is used throughout Europe and there is no CDMA here that I am aware of.

That doesn't mean that the hardware can't do CDMA, simply that it was set up and used for GSM.

anyone still using this able to update google maps?

 

[cj chitwood]

Pretty sure the newer GMaps require Froyo or better. Or was it Eclair? Regardless, my wife couldn't get new GMaps on her MT3G until she got the Froyo OTA update.

I tried it with the 2708 kenel and it just stays on the 1st boot logo!

Which kernel did you use?

 

[roccoadam32]

Ezterry's old kernel works fine with this

ezterry's compatible kernel. you must be on a compatible spl as well though. ezterry's thread explains it all.

 

[Unrelashade]

I just flashed the newest CM4 rom but it gets stuck at first boot logo. Ezterry's newest kernel version. Are they not compatible?

I also tried installing original AOSP 1.6 but it said the update.zip is not signed. Does anyone got a signed original version? Has to be for german/ european G1 though and German language or installable afterwards (need it German for my mother).

Thanks

[demkantor]

depends on your radio/spl/kernel if the rom will work for you. can you tell us what all you have and we can let you know how to make it work

 

[Djripper66]

If you're having problems with Google Partner Setup FC's, flash the DRC83 base "defanged" rom found here and then flash CM on top of it. No wipe should be necessary.
The people having problems with Gapps FC's is because they're using an earlier release of the DRC 83 rom from HTC that had a problem with signatures. They've since corrected it, so you can grab the new rom from there (specially since the dl-links in HTC's site are down).
Remember not to reboot between flashes, flash both in one go, first the DRC83 defanged and then cm 4.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.....

May I ask what is drc83? What foes it do sorry I'm very new to CyanogenMod.
