I recently installed CM9 on my phone but I want to downgrade because I think CM7 is better, for performance, stability and most of all, apps and games compatibility. I'm a gamer so it's really annoying a lot of games with high quality graphics don't work with ICS and with gingerbread works pretty well. But the problem is that I flash CM9 kernel (the one that comes with the ROM "boot.img") before flashing cm9 rom, and now to downgrade, what i did is put the cm7 rom and gapps.zip on sd card, the do the wipes, install zip and selected cm7 rom, then gapps, then wipe again and reboot. But it's stuck in cm7 bootloop..... what can I do? Please help :/

Related
I couldnt find relevant answers bt searching so i am creating a new thread.
I just now installed open optimus rom for 2.3.3(build 2.202.1)
2.6.35.14-franco kernel
i followed this thread
now i am facing some problems
when usb debugging is on, and i plug in usb, it tickers usb debugging connected and then phone freezes, and reboots and keeps on rebooting itself. windows keeps on finding and losing the phone. so i cannot connect in debugging mode. However when i disable debugging and enable mass storage only i can access the mass storage mode
also phone freezes up when i run certain apps(like proxydroid)
and refreshes(ie does not reboots but does some kind of reset of launcher etc which is fast)
secondly
the theme is very dark, i want a more light theme.
edit: i liked the gingerbread theme, this one is bluish, i want black like gingerbread. plz tell how to do i change to gingerbread theme
this is first time i am installling custom rom, (i had upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 manually some days back though)
What should i do to get debugging mode
plz some1 reply to this thread
yes even me faced some problems with open optimus (gingerbread), it has some bugs.
I suggest change your rom ?
ya, i did that, went back to my backuped 2.3.3 stock rom.
i guess i have to say, all custom roms have some bugs, so u cant use them if u want just stable and reliable use of ur phone.
if anyone can suggest a custom rom with no freezes, crashes, and most functionality working, ill be very happy to switch
and i would like to say that i upgraded to 2.3.3 from froyo using info from mak.3736 signature. so thanks to u

This isnt true.I think the most stable custom roms arexygen rom,aosp rom,mik's cm7(both stable & testing) and Andy's rom(but it has video bug,but i cn live without it).And almost all froyo roms are stable.
can u plz tell which rom, kernel u using, is it bug free? and i want gingerbread roms only.. coz stock gingerbread looks way more cool than stock froyo and since i have baseband v20 i dont want to change it.
thanks..
I m using the openoptimus rom I suggest u reflash ur rom and cleaar the dalvik cache from recovery to solve the problems u are facing. The only bug in this rom m facing is tethering errors

ok ill trying it again, this time i wiped dalvik cache too.
EDIT: it is working properly now. i guess the problem resolves after wiping dalvik cache and reflashing rom
and how to theme this rom? i want it to closely resemble gingerbread rom in terms of colors
i am still facing crashes or freezeups afterwhich phone kinda reboots. i guess ill stick to stock rom.
if you want to switch to gingerbread cutom roms
first downgrade baseband to v10 follow : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504
then you can flash mik's rom or andy's rom or aosp or oxygen , all are good, but as you are new you might like mik's rom 6.5.8 , as according to my view its more stable and most of the functionality working.
ok ill try mik rom sometime(its the one by mik_os cm7 rit 6.5.8-beta1)?
also tell me how can i add powermenu, remove some stock crapware apps and other goodies to a stock rom 2.3.3 , kinda what cyber_avjit did. his rom cannot be downloaded, none of download link is working
i know there is a 'kitchen' but i am a not a pro cook.
so i need some cooking tips too.
thanks for ur patience to bear with me
for building power menu there is a thread in xda (search it)
for removing stock apps from rom you can use titanium back up, but remember there are some apps that should not be removed (if removed causes force close or boot loops), there is a thread in xda (search) which tells which app from stock rom can be removed safely.
If u want stock then I suggest aga rom I used and I really like this rom

Sorry for my bad henglish but i need help
I have a serious problem with the touch screen and custom rom. With the CM9, CM7 and MIUI, and its kernel, touchscreen does not work! But if I use the stock rom and kernel the touch screen works, or if I use the official ICS kernel beta with ICS Rom: KA15 Team Ice Cream or Sony Xperia Hybryd rom or ICS official Sony touch screen works ...
So I think that the touch screen works only with the official kernel!
Here's how I do:
1 - flash with fastboot kernel
2-cwm go to recovery and wipe data / factory reset, and Dalvik cache partition
3-zip file with the flash custom roms
4-reboot
But with CM9, CM7, Miui and their kernels touch screen does not respond
Please Help!
Try to use KA1x kernel with miui/CM roms; Maybe it works.
Could you give me the link of this kernel?
I have used PwnKernel 1.6 with miui and SETweaked android 2.3.x and PwnKernel ICS for KA15 and it worked very well.
PwnKernel 1.6: click
PwnKernel ICS(no bluetooth): click
Inside the zips you will find the boot.img(kernel) and Pwnkernel-modules. For wifi and bluetooth(BT only for pwnk 1.6) you have to install them under recovery after flashing the kernel.
If they don't work, take a look here; it's a list with kernels and roms for neo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
I have used 1.6 Pwnkernel with CM7.1 but the touch screen does not work the same!
In my opinion the problem is another, looks like this user has solved the same problem but with a ZTE phone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKO9flwApD0. I tried doing the same thing but my Neo does not work without batteries, then the user updating the video wrote that he found a better way to solve with a fixed kernel. I also tried the kernel FXP but the problem returns! is very strange but I can not find solutions!
maybe it's depends on hardware, maybe your phone has other touchscreen (like there was with SE X8)
Trust me the stock Rom is much faster than many others. I've give up on trying any android 2.x based roms and the ICS ones are, at least for now, laggy and/or buggy. Don't feel bad if you can't solve this problem
Use the fxp kernel provided in the rom and download the latest cm7.2
Pwn kernel will give problems for cm7 and miui.
And since miui is based on cm7 and cm9 ...they share the same bugs...if you are facing dead portion of screen at the bottom in landscape mode...then only latest fxp kernel can help.
And if the whole screen is non functional ...then there is something wrong with your flashing...and it is obviously kernel related.

U should 1st flash the .64 baseband coz cm7/9 n miui need .64 baseband to work properly
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
I have flashed .64 firmware official, then i have flashed kernel included in the zip file of CM7.1.0.1, then i have format and wipe everything and flashed rom, but Touch doesn't work!!
Same thing with CM9!
I do not know what to invent to make it work!
I have flashed the official SE beta Ics kernel and everything works! means that the flash is correct. Right?
As the title suggests, I recently tried all ICS kernels that I know and none of them booted to even the recovery screen before I got a WLOD. I really want to be on ICS so can someone please help?
I have tried all available ICS in this forum, but none of them seem to work properly or im flashing something wrong... So stick to GB for now and when you get a very stable kernel and ROM... flash that... as fas as i know Championswimmers AKOP port is almost done expect some data issues (thats what i red when i saw it last)... But if you decide to flash ICS, just amke sure you are using proper "Kernel"....
Happened the same to me with kcernel. What I did was flash a stock room with flashtool and then flash fxp-127 kernel, and that worked for me to instal remyICS.

Hi,
Thanks for helping me in advance.

Does downgrading to CyanogenMOD 7 will help?
If I install CM7 I just have to flash the CM7 ZIP via CWM or anything else needed? I hope I dont have to get back to STOCK ROM and again get back to CM7. The process is so lengthy and I don't wanna waste time. So asking you Geeks.
I just don't want to brick my phone.
HELP PLEASE?
Well you can debug cm9 . Just flash WiFi fix zip. You can obtain it from the tutorial posted on spicy gadgets website. Google it.
If you are insistent on flashing cm7, then there's absolutely no need to flash stock rom. Just keep in mind to flash cm7 boot image before flashing Rom in cmw. ( extract cm7 and flash the obtained boot image in fast boot mode ) ...
My recommendation is that you flash stock rom only . It's most stable and has working xLoud. Also can root it if you're unsatisfied with the stock performance..

A while earlier i tried the lupus kernel. but from the moment i boot, the phone starts heating like mad. I didn't get a rom just got stuck in the boot process So i flashed stock with lupus kernel. as soon as it turned on, battery would heat up. Baattery life was crazy ( like 4 hours or so).I didn't have wifi or data then ( long story), so i don't know if its governor based problem.
Thing is i wanna know whether it was caused by the governor and whether changing it would help the issue.

Depending on how the developer set up lupus kernel, it may boot up fully overclocked, which could be as high as 2.2 GHz. Next time, make sure you have something like incredicontrol (from the play store) loaded onto your device and then flash over Lupus kernel. As soon as it boots, use
incredicontrol to set the cpu max freq to something safe for your phone.
With lupus kernel you will need to flash the wifi modules with CWM recovery in order to get wifi to work.

Incredicontrol is from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ontrol&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Lupus wifi modules are from here: http://dds.vigaas.com/kernels/LuPuS_kernel/Version3/ You should download both the modules zip and the ti wlan zip and flash them both. One contains the stuff for wifi and the other stuff for things like OTG.
I am not sure what you are asking about with the nandroid back up. If the back up is made by the same version of Recovery then it should restore with out errors. For example if the kernel that made the back up had CWM v5 and Lupus kernel has CWM v5 then you should be OK. But if your version of Lupus kernel has CWM v6 or TWRP, then you are likely to have issues with the restore.

I think there is a downloard link for Lupus kernel with TWRP, it is the same link where you get the modules. I believe there is also a dual version (has both cwm and twrp). Check the OP for Lupus kernel.
I think you will have issues with trying to restore a back up made with CWMv6 using a kernel with CWMv5. Might work the other way around,
but I am not completely sure. Certainly, the back up made with CWM and TWRP are not compatible.

I am not sure if you need to flash a new ROM or not. It will depend on whether the kernel and the ROM are compatible. As long as you are staying with ICS based ROMs, I would first try to flash the new ROM with out factory reseting. This way you won't lose all your apps that are in
/data. So I would:
1. Flash new kernel
2. Boot into the new kernel's recovery
3. Flash the ROM that you want
4. Flash the modules that you need for the new kernel (these have to be flashed after the ROM is flashed)
5. Flash anything else you like.
6. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
7. Boot into ROM.
I rarely do a factory reset unless I am changing different versions of Android (ICS to JB for example) or if the new ROM is behaving badly. If I have to, I typically get all the apps back from the play store. Often times the play store does it automatically, but you can do it really fast from your computer. I also use Flashbackups: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951478 but I had to change the update-binary to get it to work properly on my device.

Titanium Backup is also good if you are new to android btw I think in some roms wiping dalvik-cache and cache just before flashing causes bootloop so I think he should first check without wiping them, then wipe if necessary.
