an other question
i have download the 2 files from the site of joker that are in winrar. now i must put the two files in this way in sd card of the phone?
ok i have installed
thank you
but now i can't make call
anyone know what i do bad
Just as a suggestion...always do the clean install method:
- nandroid backup
- format system
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache/dalvik
- reboot recovery
- flash ICS ROM
- flash newest joker gapps
- reboot
- reboot again
Yeah. Most issues are caused by a failure to wipe.

Make sure you get the cwm from joker too. Dont use the one rom manager gives you. It wouldnt let me flash anything.

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.
Is it possible to get the SMS widget back? The simple one from Market sucks...
Do I need to partition the SD-card?? The directions made no mention of this.
how to enable 3G mode only in this rom ?
Good work, very useful.
Hi after spending a huge time I finally did it and got into recovery and made backup.
Of also made a titanium backup.
Obviously my mem card has backup folders should I save them?
How I mean is there any particular way?
After the answer to above then comes the next problem.
I just need to download the zip file of the custom rom and then just flash directly.
then one more thing
assuming that now I'm in a custom firmware and wanna switch back to the default is it easy?
How do I do the custom recovery? Of the default obviously.:-D
Thanks in advance.

Since ur done with recovery n backup,make sure u have the thunderg Custom recovery,clockwork isn't supported my majority of the roms u find here
Save the backup files from the sdcard to ur PC to be safe
Next just download a custom rom that suits ur need,copy it ur sdcard,boot into the recovery with the 3 button combo and just flash the zip from there
All instruction can be found in individual rom threads
Now,going back to the stock rom,its simple and easy
Just download the LG original firware and flash it with KDZ Updater
No warranty will be void so just chill play arnd with ur phone....
Thanks dude +1 for you.

And what about the titanium backup? Any use to store it?
I mean I thought that I could go back to the same state using all these and I mean the exact state as now.
if I have to flash with a new rom even if its default only then what it the use of back up that I just did if I won't be using it at all.?

truely make a backup in recovery its worth mentioning which recovery u r using as thunderg 1.2.1 cannot restore so use 1.2 or lower-clockwork is better but it doesnt support installing all rom at this point of time but its better than thunderg.once u get support from all rom its worth installing clockwork.
now the main part
boot into recovery
make a backup of current rom and transfer it to pc
Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe Cache.
4. Wipe sd-ext.
5. Format /system.
6.make partition swap 0 ,ext 512(convert ext 2 to ext 3 ,ext 3 to ext 4- class 4 sd card minimum required for ext4)
7.Select usb ms-toogle |copy the rom image to sd card
6. Intall zip from sd card.|Flash CM7.(if using cm7)
7. Reboot.
8. Done.
hope it was helpful.more tweaks and market zip is provided in differnt rom thread choose accordingly whatever u need.
ENJOY
if u get a bootloop just flash the zip file provided in mik rom for bootloop and then wipe again and flash the rom
AS FAR AS TITANIUM BACKUP IS CONCERNED ONCE U INSTALL THAT IN UR NEW ROM U GET TO RESTORE ALL APLLICATION U HAVE BACKUP EARLIER.JUST MAKE SURE U HAVE SAVED THE BACKUP FILE IN PC AND TRANSFER IT BACK AGAIN.AND IF U WANT TO GET BACK TO ORIGINAL JUST RESTORE THE BACKUP U CREATED EARLIER BEFORE FLASHING NEW ROM.

thunderg recovery is the old preocess of flashing file which sometimes leads to bootloop or unsupportive to some tweaks and add on as it is unable to run the scrip porperly hence clockwork is considered better which handles everything smoothly as it the latest way of flashing zip and files.
But i would suggest to use thunderg as for now as all rom developed here are not suppoting clockwork so once it gets updated u can flash the clockworkmode and yeah finally it does support cm7.
i just hope that clockwork gets some updates like it is in hd2 forum solving some minor issue
Clockworkmod doesnt support many ROMs because the ROMs are using the old Amend scripts. Even google has stopped supporting Amend from Android 1.6.
If you want the old roms to work with clockworkmod, you can use the amed to edify tool to make it compatible with clockworkmod.

Yes.you need to use the same flash image file to install v1.2 or v1.2.1.

I get some directory error that I can't copy and paste, but it has to do with the sdcard folder.
I wiped cache/dalvik before trying to install via clockwork 4.0.0.4.
Anyone have an idea what the issue is?
Many thanks, and happy browsing.

Just giving a quick bump because I still cant get this to work.
Do I need to factory reset as well? If so, this is new to me, and I think it may be wise to include these details in the Kernel thread, as not everyone is 100% on these sorts of things.
Many thanks.

So when you boot into CWM recovery do you see the kernel .zip on your sd card?
Steps for installing pershoot's kernel.
Place file in root of SD card
Boot into CWM Recovery
select install zip from SD
choose kernel zip file
select yes
reboot
No need to wipe anything, should be a quick boot up.
Hi!. I hate making my first post in a forum about some problem but I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong >.<.
So, I'm running this ROM on my S2 and I'm currently using the one released on 03/23. I want to update it to the latest one (03/31) and keep getting an error when I try to install the zip.
These are the steps I take: 1) Wipe cache 2) Wipe Dalvik 3) Format /system 4) Try to install the .zip file. At this point a get a bunch of "Assertion error" messages on the screen and it goes back CWM menu without actually doing anything.
I know the file was correctly downloaded because the MD5 checksum match.
I have DPI set to 160 and in the attached image you can see more info on the phone's software.
My other problem is that for some reason the USB file transfer stopped working. It worked great when I installed the ROM version that added it but now my computer simply won't detect it.
Thanks.
Flash stock rom start again.

Are you getting an error when you attempt to flash gapps? If so, what's the output?
The steps aren't very detailed, download the zip, check the MD5 and flash it from recovery. Wipe data and cache, reboot.

i think i may have downloaded a different file thanks for the help. Ill try it again in a little bit.
How exactly did it fail? Flash CM9 from the patched CM7 recovery if already on CM7 or CM9 - Flash Gapps zip - Wipe Data - Wipe cache. It's that simple. Never had a flash fail for me unless the zip was broken or my battery was too low. Oh yeah... Make sure your battery is charged 50% +
I believe there is an updated gapps zip for alpha 4 specifically, so make sure you use that one instead of the old one that's already on your sd card from alpha 3. FYI gapps zip does not install google apps on your phone. You will still need to download apps like maps, earth, youtube, goggles, etc from the market.
Sorry if you know/tried all of that... OP was kind of vague...
