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
Have you wiped cache/dalvink cache/android secure and the rest from the wipe menu?

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.
Hello NookPeeps!
TRIPLE-BOOT your nook color with Stock on EMMC and Dualboot CM7/CM9 on your SDcard!!

Well it's been a while since I've updated my DualbootSD thread. But since things are much bigger and better now with CM7 and CM9. Figured I'll prep a new IMG file that you can dualboot Mirage CM7 Kang and the latest greatest ICS CM9 off one SDcard. I did this because I do love ICS but still have the need to go back to CM7 for my own personal reasons, but figured I'd share it with everyone as well.
1-I've prepped the image file to be 3.7gb, so that no one will have issue's burning it to a 4gb SDcard or larger.
2-Both roms share the same SDcard partition. So on a 4gb card, the available space is limited to 1.4gb.
3-If you use an 8gb SDcard. To get use of the remaining storage on your SDcard. Just burn the image and then use EASUS Partition Manager to extend the SDcard partition. (Which is the 7th partition on the card)
4-Primary boot is Mirage CM7 Kang from his 01/13/2012 build (uImage/uRamdisk)
-V6 SuperCharger by zeppelinrox included (read below on how to install)
5-Secondary boot is ICS CM9 was built on 01/14/2012 with the following additions (uAltRam/uAltImg):
-Added telephony-permissions-fix by Samiam303 to allow phone specific apps to show in market
-Added bootanimation fix by Homer_S_XDA (make sure you thank him)
-Make sure you thank Samiam303 for posting the zips on his thread here
6-Gapps included but not baked into the rom, read below to find out how to install
7-This .img also includes a modded CWM Recovery that only works with .zips from this thread. Do not use it to flash with anything else besides .zips prepped by me for this thread!
Please follow below instructions completely before posting issues!
___________________________________________________________________________________
1-Download the .zip at the bottom of this post
2-Follow the same directions as you would burn a NookieFroyo SDcard from NookDevs.com here.
3-After you burn the card, plug the SDcard into your nook and power on. Leave it alone and it will boot to the primary boot which is Mirage CM7 Kang and connect to a wifi connection.
4-Power off nook or reboot and boot to secondary boot which is ICS CM9 by holding down the volup+voldown together during boot and it should boot up Alternate Boot which is (uAltImg/uAltRam)
5-Once booted to ICS CM9, again connect to a wifi and then power off.
6-Now power on nook again and this time hold down the button to get to the boot menu and choose SD Boot --> uRecImg/uRecRam.
7-Choose to 'Install zip from SDcard --> Choose zip from SDcard --> Now choose, gapps-GB-20110828-signed-DualbootSD.zip. Once that's completed now choose, gapps-ICS-20111125-2-DualbootSD.zip
8-After you're done flashing both Gapps, now you're ready to boot into your roms and sign into market. I don't think I need to go any further explaining how to do so.
9-Optional, but if you want to supercharge your Mirage CM7 Kang with the V6 SuperCharger Script by zeppelinrox. All you have to do is boot the Mirage and start up Terminal Emulator and do the following:
- su
- cd /sdcard
- sh V6*
- choose option 0 (fastest scroll)
- choose 9
- choose option 16 to reboot
10-Please be patient with your roms. Give it a minute or two on first boot. It also depends on what brand and class of SDcard you have. I've tested it on both a Sandisk 8gb Class 4, as well as a PNY 4gb Class 2. The roms ran much better on the Sandisk than it did on the PNY card. Read this thread by Blue6IX for more info on SDcard read/write speeds.
11-Oh for the ones that are gonna take this image and start selling it on Ebay as well as N2A, you guys suck!! But to each his own I guess.
12-And finally enjoy your DualbootSD roms!! Now you can triple-boot your nook!
Take it or leave it, just hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to all the devs for all their hard work in getting these great ROMs for our Nook Color.

Flashable zip for Mirage CM7.2 / ICS CM9 / MIUI v2.2.24
-First off I want to thank TeamWin, specifically Eyeballer & Kevank for setting me up with their server to host my files. Everything will be in much better order now! Thanks guys!
-Mirage CM7.2 update 3-1-2012. More info here.
-ICS CM9 OpenGL update 3-1-2012. My repo is full of changes uncommited at the moment. So eyeballer was nice enough for me to use his build.
-MIUI v2.2.24. Thanks to hockeyfamily for allowing me to prep this for my dualbootSD. This will install in the primary boot. So it will replace your current Mirage build. It is also recommended that you perform a full wipe when going from one rom to the next. You can do so by booting into the CWM that is included with the dualbootSD and go to "mounts and storage" and choose to format "/system1" "/data1". Remember to also wipe cache.
-For MIUI v2.2.24, after flashing. Make sure you download and flash "gapps-MIUI-v2.2.24-20111125-DualbootSD.zip"
-Gapps ICS 2-24-2012 are borked for some reason. I will reupload when I figure out what's going on.
-There's also a flashable zip for the new CM9 bootanimation in the miscellaneous folder if you want to flash that after flashing the rom.
-Download the zip and place it on the SDcard partition of your DualbootSD rom
-Everyone should know how to flash by this point. If not, you should continue reading.
-After done flashing, reboot and you should be good to go!

Flashable zip for MIUI 2.2.3
1. MIUI 2.2.3 updated by 'hockeyfamily737'. This zip will replace your first boot rom on your DualbootSD. Which would be your CM7 rom. See more info here about MIUI 2.2.3.
2. If after flashing you find it unstable and since this is a completely new rom, I would recommend when booting into the DualbootSD CWM Recovery, go to 'Mounts and Storage' and choose to format '/data1' before flashing. You might not have to, and although MIUI is based off CM7. I'm not sure how it will affect your system without doing so.
3. Remember to flash the CM7 gapps that was included w/ your dualbootSD as well.
DualbootSD CWM Recovery Update v2:
1. You can now perform a full Nandroid backup of your DualbootSD, if you have the room to do so of course.
2. Unfortunately, when doing a Nandroid backup, it will backup both roms. I haven't edited the code to give you the option of which rom to backup yet. Maybe sometime in the future.
3. You can now choose which system you would like to wipe dalvik-cache for.
4. Restore only the /system you choose to by performing an 'Advance Restore' in the CWM menu
5. I will work on specific nandroid backups as well as fix permissions on next release.
-Download the zip and place it on the SDcard partition of your DualbootSD rom
-You should know how to flash by now.
-After done flashing, reboot and you should be good to go!

Reserved! Finally I've reserved the second post on my own thread!!
Well I don't plan on updating the roms often unless there are some major changes that calls for it. And I've made it simple for everyone to do so once that day comes. As I stated in the OP this .img comes with a modded CWM Recovery that is meant only for .zips that are prepped for this thread!
So I will be prepping update.zips when the day calls for it. Till then please enjoy your DualbootSD roms! And please keep issues with the DualbootSD in this DualbootSD thread and not clog up the other threads. I'll try and post known issues as the days go by.
Thanks again!

Hey Racks. It says on your post that this dualboot is for the sdcard. How about for eMMC? Any chance for that? Thanks and awesome work, man.
quick hints
volup+voldown together during boot should get you to the altboot automatically without having to go through any menu. (Not that I don't love the menu!)
Nook Color Tweaks should allow you to set a default boot configuration.

Wow, great timing racks I was just looking for a way to experiment with CM9 without losing CM7. This saves me having to switch cards (which I would invariably lose altogether). I guess it only works with your prepped CM7/9 builds though? Not that it matters, just making sure I understand correctly.

This is a prepped .img file with CM7/CM9 on it. If there are any updates. Only use the .zips from this thread because not only CWM Recovery has been modded to work only with the dualboot card. The zips itself needs to be modified to flash correctly. As well as modified ramdisk, fstab.... etc. to boot and work correctly with the DualbootSDcard.
But you could always use TitaniumBackup and backup all your apps and restore it to the Dualboot card if you wished. It should work. Haven't tried it myself though.
Good luck!

Should the gapps be included as part of the SD image? When I attempt to install update from SD, I am getting a No files found. message.
Thanks for this image. This is awesome!

Sorry, please ignore. I did not correctly boot via SD. My bad
Thanks again!
Thanks Rack, I'll give it a try soon.
Is CM9 the prebuilt one or your own compiled?
P.S: Thanks for posting on G+. Don't check these forums much

I bet I was one of the first to download your ROMS at a little after 10 last night. My husband is probably mad at you and me, since I played with my NC until after 2 am!
This is SO COOL! This takes me back to my first experience with Android, which was running Donut from an SD card in my old HTC Touch. Your ROMS are much faster, but so is the NC.
The file installs really easily to a uSD card. I have a bunch of cl 2 and cl 4 SD cards. None of them benchmark very fast, so I used a SanDisk Cl 4 8GB card that benches at .60, using the testing method in this thread. (Note, if you are using Crystal Disk Mark to test with, use 50MB file size and the 4k QD32 test for writing.) Mirage seems way faster than the NC's 1.3 software, which I am running blocking OTA updates.
I downloaded a bunch of the apps I use on my 3D EVO. I didn't try the Titanium Backup thing, as I doubt the app data would work from my phone, which is running a rooted Stock (Sense) ROM.
It took me a minute to figure out how the changing of selections worked in recovery. Maybe it's standard for CWM, but I haven't ever run it, preferring Amon_RA and then TWERP. Use volume up and down keys to move up and down the list. Then hit the home key (Nook button) to change your selections.
I forgot to mention, though I did flash both gapps zips, (from recovery), at least on Mirage, I had to download Maps, GMail and others from the Market. I'm not sure if I missed a step or something.
I have run CM on my OG EVO, as well as my 3D EVO. I like it very much, but I also like some of the widgets in Sense. I'll have to get a calendar widget for my NC. I am using GOWeather for a weather and digital clock widget.
I have already thanked you on your first post, racks, but I thank you again. I hate to sound piggy, but is there any chance you could make up a zip that includes Miui? It's not my favorite ROM, and there are problems with the Market on the NC. But it would be fun to be able to switch back and forth and show it off to my friends that run Miui on their phones.
OK...I installed and everything is perfect. Thanks Racks
I previously had cm7 and cm9 (both latest nightlies)on two separate SDcards. Because of this, and that fact I didn't want a lot of duplicate files, I had all my media and Titanium Backup directories (cm7 and cm9 with different dir names)on my internal sdcard. My emmc is stock un-rooted NC 1.4.1.
So I burned the img on a SanDisk 8GB cl4 SDcard, expanded the sdcard partition and followed the install proceedures. When complete I downloaded Titainium Backup from the market, pointed it to the correct backup, and restored all my apps for each OS.
All worked great...

Cool.
Also, if I flash CWM from ROM Manager in one of the sd roms it will still flash to the emmc right?
Thanks.

Hahaha, awesome. This is why I try to contribute what I can to this community. It's comments like these that makes it all worth while. Oh and I might (might being the keyword) prep an MIUI update zip for the dualboot card. It will probably replace the primary boot though. No ETA's yet.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that though. I have no idea what will happen. But most likely it would just flash to emmc boot. Let me know what happens if you do happen to be brave and do so.

Ok, so I guess you just flashed CWM Recovery to your EMMC then. Can you try booting to the uRecImg/uRecRam off the SDboot just to make sure it didn't replace the modded one I had there?
Thanks!

It is possible, but someone has to prep the .zips to flash to the correct partitions. If someone wants to take a crack at it. Just download one of the .zips from rookie1's thread here. And take a look at the edify script, you would also need to modify the uRamdisk so it boots the correct /system as well.
Don't have time for that at the moment. Working on something else with another dev for you great people!

Restart your phone manually, not from link2sd
Go to Link2sd settings
uncheck all options
exit from link2sd
Open root explorer or other file manager that have root access
Go to /data/sdext2, delete all folder if exist
Go back to /data
Copy app, data, app-private, and dalvik-cache to /sdext2
Wait a moment
Go to /sdext2
Create link to app (Long press the folder, scroll down, and choose "Link to this folder")
Go back to /data, and choose create link
There is a warning, and choose YES
Repeat this to data, app-private, and dalvik-cache
After that, restart your phone twice, and look at internal storage.

If your phone become laggy, you don't move data, so you just need to copy 3 folder.

great bro..:good:
i just want to know..it's that ok if i clear the dalvic cache via cwm?
all i know if the dalvic cache move to sdext..you can't clear the dalvic via cwm..cmiiw..
Proud to be Indonesian..
so basicly what this does?oO
and you werent quite clear on your tutorial how to do it... seems a bit complicated...
Go to Settings
uncheck all options > settings, phone settings or link2sd settings?And wich settings are you refering -.-
AngelusPT,
Link2sd settings,. Sorry
edit: cancel it
Thanks for the info...I will try this on my S5830 with Jellaxy 10.1, I am having problem with Link2SD and free space in /data because only apps linked to /sdext have its dalvik-cache linked too.
UPDATE: I 've messed up my phone , but I had many applications already installed. I will try after a fresh install
I've try this trick. awesome, csn reduce my internal memori use extremely. But problem shown when I'm installed new app and linked it, it always got force close. Is there something wrong?
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Sent from my HS-E910 using xda app-developers app
@sihung, you don't need to link your app.
Can I use this on S5830i???
And i already have 150 apps linked do can I use this???
But I don't wanna unlink or delete them
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
I think you can use it on S530i.
You can try this tutorial in a fresh phone.
What makes this "extreme" exactly?.. Links2SD is Links2SD and has been around for quite some time. It should work on all custom kernels without issues (won't work on stock roms). Fresh installs are the better choice as link2SD decides what is best for the app automatically.
There is another thread in the dev section which explains properly how to set this up.
Great app btw..
I wonder what was the experience of the earlier users as they didnt mention the results/experience with this trick. I would try this and post the results by tomorrow probably
Works grt.. Thanks for the guide...Cheers !! :good:
Maybe you missed to include one step in the guide,
Step 6: while uncheking all options under Link2DS settings > under Native Apps2sd sttings..choose install location as internal..
Hope it helps !!

good job!
i'm using this now.works great!it is easy to do.but if you're new to android,you will be confuse with the tutorial.
to make things clear,if you ever heard of "app2sd" or "S2E",the idea is just the same.it is just manually mounting sdext2 as the default install location.we just just have to take advantage of the script created by the link2sd app.
this will work on stock or custom rom that has init.d.and you don't have to manually link apps using libk2sd app.the system will decide where to install.after you done this,link2sd app will be useless.
Where is that "init.d" be found?
And what particular root explorer app that has so called "linking" capability?

it's in system/etc/init.d.your rom should have init.d support.if your on stock rom,try the init.d enabler via terminal emulator,via cwm,or via app.i think you will have that option in root explorer if you have installed the link2sd.

My S5830i won´t boot up
Hi Guys,
its great to see, that there are still some users of this device and this rom. I try to flash a rom for the Ace for at least 7 Days now. I bricked it already, restored it with a full Stock firmware. I tried a lot of cm7 roms but none of them would boot up. I installed them like described. Recovery, wipe, install kernel reboot recovery install rom and gaps. After rebooting it stucks at the "Samsung Galaxy Ace" start screen. I already wiped Data and Cache after this, but it wont fix this problem. I would absolutely happy if someone could give me a hint what could be wrong.
Thanks for your help, cheers!
@NootYest, I am really concerned about the correct way you have been restoring your device back into stock firmware [ RFS partitions ] though. please follow my instruction @ post#6 for wipe flash-able zip packages , if you are doing other methods.
As for your problems , I am going to devise an experiment to force your partitions being transformed into EXT4, before flashing our CM Specific Basic Kernel. ( Method would apply only to CM7/7.2 based on kernel CM7 v4.0 (cooperVe). Do not use it on newer CM's please. )
Requirements :
SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4
Temporary CWM for s5830i/c/M/s5839i devices , known as cooperVe.
CM Specific Basic Kernel - BroadcomCM[COOPERVE][v4.0 ]
EXT4 Formatter Tool
SLIMGapps by mathm2013 (Optional) >> This is an extreme bare bone Rom , check Dev section; his topic; for more instruction on how to flash this package.
1.. Copy them in the root of your SD card. ( Full back ; EFS partition back up; CWM back up is advised)
2.Boot into stock e3 recovery >> wipe data and flash your Temp CWM
3.cwm > wipe data > wipe cache > wipe dalvik cache
4.flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS).
5.Install kernel_CM7_v4.0_cooperVe .
6.When the Kernel is installed, go to the advanced menu --> "reboot recovery" (this will reboot the device, thus you will be directed into your new CWM built-in, which is implanted inside Kernel ).
7.Wipe data, cache and dalvik
8.Go to "mounts and storage", and make sure /system partition is mounted (will show unmounted)
9. Main menu > "Install zip from SD Card" > choose "zip from SD card" and install the ROM.
10.Reboot
I am going to check on your progress later ,,,,,

Hi ehsanotaku,
thank you for your reply!!!!! I did the trick! I tried different processes of installing cm7 and i think i know where the problem were.
First let me explain how i installed the rom. The Situation is a s5830i with Stock GB and an empty SDCard:
1. I copied the temporary cwm, the kernel, the cm7 and the gapps on the root of the SD
2. Reboot into stock recovery and start tmp recovery
3. Wipe data cache and dalvik
4. Install cm7 kerne and reboot recovery
5. Now I am in the new kernel recovery. There I go to mounts and storage, unmount system and format system
6. After formating system I installed the cm7, went back to mounts and storage and check if system is mounted
7. If system is mounted UNmount System
8. Install gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot
The things i did in another way were formating system and unmount system before installation. So the update package had to mount the partition on its own. This process worked for me two times on two different devices. Perhaps you can add this to the main thread for future users.
Thank you!
@NootYest, I was going to recommend you to format your /System partition where your previous Android OS was resided, after your initial test. However this process is not necessary by default , when you are coming from stock GB -based OS ( unless you didn't revert back completely to your OLD RFS partitions as I did instruct ) . And for any modification/suggestion in regards of installation alternative methods please pm OP of ROM . I am just a regular novice helper @ XDA.
Have fun tinkering
I can confirm this works on a s5839i. Installed today on s5839i.
Any themes available for this rom as the packaged theme leaves a little to be desired, on all levels.
Oh dear this post seems to have been redirected to a different thread, so the question by the previous users in the other thread goes unanswered.
can you make a video on it pls pls ..............

Thanks for this ROM
my 5830i was actually unusable on stock rom due to too many built in apps....This Slimcm7 rom actually solved my cell problem...too stable too light fluid performance.
Just on negligible issue is that sygic maps are not working on it but as i said its negligible.
Thanks developer for this wonderful rom
