[Q] How to switch from a rom using cm6 to cm7?

Hi all, I recently took the plunge into the world of custom roms and its awesome, so much better then stock
I have flashed my x8 with the Froyo 2.2.1/Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 rom by ponanovn and he has just released a new rom Gingerbread 2.3.5/Cyanogenmod 7.1-Pre using cm7, When I first installed the orginal Froyo 2.2.1 I used x recovery and simply renamed the file to update.zip and simply flashed it and it worked however on his page he doesnt say rename the file to "update,zip" anymore and he says make a back up in "cwm recovery" instead of xrecovery is it neccesary to use cwm recovery with cm7? im just a bit confused if anyone could help me I would be gratefull Thanks

Too complicated! Download and install GingerDX instead. It's a FULLY working Gingerbread 2.3.5!

Thanks I was having a look at it before and it seemed pretty good, might just make the change to GingerDX, are you using it? if so are there any bugs etc? cheers

Yes, I'm using v005. SO SMOOTH!!! And 3MP camera!! I have no bugs at all. If you have bugs, make a full wipe.

I can recommend GingerDX as well, it is updated on a regular basis, and doixanh is one of the best ROM developers for X8 currently, he just seems to be able to pull things off that noone expected, like the 3mp camera fix for instance!

I agree, GingerDX is the most complete 2.3 Rom. There is updates nearly every day and each update will preserve your data, no major bugs and if there is DX will sort it.

Thanks for the help

I would suggest GingerDX.
But you can try to use multiboot if you have a class 6 or more sd card instead of changing a ROM.

I've tested a lot and I liked Miuiv4 and other builds of miui. But wasn't happy with the battery life. Not happy about ICS. Then I found this review:
http://bit.ly/IeL9Hi
[ROM ICS]Tiramisu+ I.C.E. A.G.E. V.1.8 I'M DIFFERENT! [ANDROID 4.0.4][CNA 2.0.0]
This ROM is the best of all that I tested. Very simple to install and modify if your not happy about a kernel or modem or launcher or fonts etcetera.

You coming from which Rom ?

I wouldn't recommend you to use MIUIv4 roms right now, but that doesn't mean you can't. I tried WEUI 4.0.4, very unstable, bad battery life and it kept rebooting for some reason. I didn't like it that much, except the UI looks fantastic. Now running CM9 and I love it

Not stable...
I had installed several versions of MIUI's and I can tell you that they're not stable. At least from my experience.
My last rom is MIUI V4 ASNET. Quite good. Battery wise is just ok when 3G is off that is. Out of nowhere, it kept fc's on me. Then I rebooted the phone. It entered CWM and I wasn't able to boot the phone after that. It kept going into CWM. The only way was to reflash the rom.
Currently, just flashed stock JVU with cf-root and thinking about the next rom to try.

MIUI V4 is not stablest ICS but in MIUI v4s this one is best:

Improving speed

Hey people. I would like to thank you guys for teaching me how to root and beibg patient with me. Yes i have done it. I succesfully rooted my phone. My next question would be, how fo i fix the lag on my phone? I tried olcf, which does not works on my phone as I am using gingerbread 2.3.3 . What are the methods to fix the lag? Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

U should try minfreemanager from the market. It kills apps faster by it self and improved my phone's speed.

Dl. "Easy cache cleaner" from market, it's developer is bazinga and just clear your cache once or twice a day.that will usually fix most lag.

Yes you could clean your cache but why don´t you flash a good rom? if you want to sty on gingerbread than you should check:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344489 and flash the latest semaphore kernel
If you want android 4.0.4 you should check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572705 and flash the latest semaphore ics 1.1.1s.
This are my favorite roms, because the batterylife is very good, they are very fast and there are no lags.
And you should download a taskkiller wich kills annoying apps in the background. This makes your phone faster and the batterylife is better.

Oh. Thanks for your advices. However, can someone please help me overhere? I know that flashing a rom increases your phone's speed greatly. I followed all the instructions from youtube, however when I was about to install the .zip file from my phone in recovery mode, it got aborted everytime it begins. Please help me.

dont use any task killers as it runs in the background and drains your battery. the best way is to flash a new rom.try out the slim ics rom.

Is there any link that you could provide of flashing a rom for my gingerbread 2.3.3?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

If you whant a gingerbread rom then you can use odin it is easy
in this thread you can see how you can flash with odin it´s only for gb roms --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17485710
you must have 4 files: a pit file, a code file, a modem file and a csc file you can see this at the thread i used this gb rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344489 it was fast and had a great batterylife with this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
but this rom looks also nice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626068
If you want a ics rom then you should flash a semaphore kernel, because you need a new recovery mod and then you can install the zip from your sdcard
I use this Taskkiller: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liveov.rebooter&feature=search_result
it doesn´t run in the background and kills all uneeded apps and you can reboot your device fast when you have root

[Q] How to overclocked s6500D to 1.1 ghz on CM 10.1 rom and more free ram

Most custom roms for mini 2 like cyanogenmod does not support overclock. Will just unlock the stock processor speed 1Ghz. I said that, because if you select an higher value phone will crash or reboot.
Just stock rom can be overclocked up to 1,12 Ghz and cm9 at 1,1 Ghz.
Also brian kernel can be installed on stock rom (but camcorder will not work) and cm10.1 but wifi and camera will not work. Brian kernel have 411 mb Ram avaiable for OS.
Also, to make this phone fast you should be rooted and deodexed and rom should be zipalligned with int.d scripts. To boost OS speed use squadzone kernel. To improve rom stability flash lastest 2014 rom from samsung (branded movistar). /Or another rom, but you will also need to de-bloatware it (deleting useless apps/files)

1)To root mini 2 is enough to install clockworkmod recovery and reboot phone. If you're not rooted it will ask you if you want to write su (superuser) binary.
To overclock stock rom you will need to install squadzone's kernel from an custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
2) Mini 2 does not have full working custom roms like stock rom. Cyanogenmod 10.1 rom have problems with fm radio and whitescreen. Well, all mini 2 cm have that problems.
If you decided to use cm10.1 and you want to boost it , delete useless apps (not neessary apps), like voice dialer or vpn config, gmail, dev tools, and other apps that you don't use.
Also, I need to mention here that all mini 2 custom roms have a problem with camcorder performance. It will lag while you rec. a video. I noticed , the bad video performance on cm10.1 and higher like cm10.2, cm11 (games have graphical issues instead stock rom) .
Else I don't know what to do to boost cm...
Playstore promoted apps in app or ads will just clear ram, and tell you to delete useless user apps.
There are 2 kind of apps:
-user apps (installed from playstore, sdcard, ext. sdcard, adb...)
-system apps (preinstalled rom apps, like phone , internet browser..., this apps can be deleted from rom .zip , before you flash it/ or if you're rooted, download root browser and go to system/app and delete what you want.)
Just search on internet (google) squadzone kernel mini 2 s6500, and flash it.
Tell me if you don't found it. I have it saved on my sdcard, and I will upload it. :thumbup:

Squadzone kernel does not have bugs till MD1 PDA verdsion.
If you flash MK1 ROM, wifi will be broken. A fix for that is avaiable on dev forum.

Last summer I've tried to flash squadzone's kernel into CyanogenMod 10.1 but I had a bootloop!

Read this.
If you want a fast device then try Mackay ICS.
For gaming try CyanAOSP (Jelly Bean), CyanAOSP (KitKat).
For customizations try Cyanogenmod or Cyanogenmod based ROMS.
Also Omni is pretty good.

That's a good choice. To take advantage of the Semaphore's kernel features download Semaphore Manager from Play Store.
If you want to overclock your device choose 1.2 MHz and the ondemand Governor. Also for 400+ MB of RAM choose the s Semaphore version and also download the Bigmem libs.

Can i Overclock the cpu more than 1.2Ghz ?

Yes you can but not with Semaphore kernel. Mackay kernel supports up to 1.4 MHz.
Keep in mind that with clock speeds over 1.2 MHz you will experience a lot of crashes and reboots, your device will get hot etc.

Now i understood thanks!

When im installing the rom (CyanAOSP) and the kernel (Semaphore) is it need to have installed custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROM first ? Or i can install everyting from the stock rom ?
Sent from my PAP3540DUO using XDA Free mobile app

You might lose your IMEI if you install 4.4 straight from stock. The right way is to install ICS first then JB and finally KK (or you can install KK straight from ICS).

You only need to flash a kernel once you install the final ROM, in your case KK.

Hi to all
After to try upgrade my GT-I9000 by KIES (realy bad choice) my phone crash and can't coming back in original without any issues.
I was going and in samsung service to setback but the problems are still there.
Boot freezings and random of sorry the android.process.media has stopped. acore, keybord etc.
I try to fix them first by cache or apps settings but no luck- i was try everything.
Next step for - i had a feeling my phone is not dead and i can't to use it like this - is try to fount a rom in all net.
To many rom's and installs clears with full format or not - with xp,7 or 8 - but all they have same problems (slim,paranoid,etc.). Full of Sorry's that service or other has stop and press the ok every sec.or rom apps crash down or freezings and next black screen or freezing and many reboot's auto.
2 weeks try and try again. It must to save my phone.
And yesterday i try another rom.
1. set (must have) the I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA by ODIN 1.83 with repartition s1_odin_20100512.pit
1st reboot auto and freezing again (many auto reboots) but final open the phone in settings.I didn't stop so must see the next step
2. Set Kernel by Odin again CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.
The phone reboot but boot over and over without go in. Again i didn't stop so i go in recovery (other way to take the install file) and mount usb (i can't go in phone) and take the ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 rom in internal sd (no external sd and no sim in the phone).
3. Clear the data/factory, reset data cache and dalvic cache and install it (i can say the install it was slowest by the others rom's and more stady in the load bar).
No extra gapps files to install need.
The phone auto reboot and i wait with hope again.
Boom. The phone open in the setting without single problem.:victory:
The Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 is there all works perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I save my phone and is realy fast because the phone have a realy good hardwear.
So the Final answer is the rom must fit in your phone
I hope to help i wish a nice day to all.
