Thanks so much for uploading this video guide. I have been thinking for many months about installing Cyanogen however i can't gather the confidence. After the latest forced app tgat i don't want/need, can't install to sd and can't uninstall altogether. I think it is now time to go ahead with the new Rom.

[S69NER]

is this the EOS 7D camera?

if it is dam i want it but the price is to much for my budget lol

[gdickinsense]

Hey man, I was at the verge of tearing my hair out until I found your video. Really appreciate your video.

[tomabud88]

ffs i forgot do copy gapps to sd card what now ffs... what a noob

[augsant02]

@tomabud88 well, just copy to your sd card and flash it, or wipe your phone again.

[augsant02]

Dude your video is awesome!!!! But is the cyanogen Mod reversible??(Befre I install and do shit)

[S69NER]

i have the gingerbread rom from my nexus one

[augsant02]

@S69NER me too!!But it's kinda laggy, and some apps don't run, so I installed cm6 1.1

[S69NER]

@augsant02 yea it is kinda laggy but with the new updates seems to work great for me

[augsant02]

@S69NER where did you download yours?

[S69NER]

@augsant02 from xda developers [ROM] Gingerbread v.19 (Stock/Trackball Wake/Gapps/DT-Ap2SD) (ThemePack v1.7) 1/06/11

Dude, what camera do use? im only watching in 480p and it looks high def, im actually afraid to put it on 720p..

[zedomax]

@johnathon124 Canon 7D, that's why I got it! U can get the Canon Rebel T2i also, much cheaper, same thing.

[rashawn770]

@zedomax

Dude...I'm watching it on this computer in 360p and it looks great! lol

But $1,300? Aww... The other one is $700+

I like cameras under $400 that can fit nicely into my pocket.

w/e

Would you be able to fill me in on key perks that you get with Cyanogen? I.E Why would I switch to Cyanogen vs. sticking with Gingerbread on my Nexus One?

[MatthewMitch]

HAHAAHAH I was having a hell of a time with the market not showing up but as i was watching this I tried it again and BAM There it was!

[warakito1]

[alamanatu]

[jabbeXD]

This is just like installing HBC on a Wii =)

[Tomsriversmith]

does this work on er27 because im getting no signatures

[2TC2]

can you tell me how do you install flashplayer

[keithkmj]

i get no signature (1591 files) help

[willis1116]

What do you do when updates start coming, I have the newest versions now but wondering when the update comes do i do the same thing like in this video. O yeah thanks for the vid and I found personally found your blog more helpful then the video hehehe.

[Blackman3030]

The first time I flashed this it didn't let me sign in my google account it said can not establish connection is that what happend to you?

Oh can you show us how to Flash the 5.0.3 update

[unbornG4]

Queston;

When you Download SDK in the tools folder it comes with a Fastboot inside of it, do you have to download a separate Fastboot file?

[zedomax]

@unbornG4 No, you can use the fastboot file in the Tools folder of the SDK.

[unbornG4]

Thnx for the reply :)

Hey when u install a modified rom how do u retrieve all the apps u had installed prior to the change?

Do u go to setttings and hit restore and the apps u have appear?

[zedomax]

@unbornG4 You will have to re-install them but again just for the first time or you need to use a backup app that will let you backup the apps.

Most of your apps might be stored under the apps directory in your SD card, you can also just install them back using apkInstaller app which is free.

[jfbaro]

At the end it seemed you edited the video to show another phone... did it really get stuck or it just took a long time to boot the first time you did it? Nice work though.

[zedomax]

It's the same phone, it just took a long time to boot the first time. Thanks!

[jfbaro]

Is it really that simple? I have been reading some foruns and they say I need the android SDK and connect my N1 to my laptop. I want to unlock my stock N1 and put the latest Cyanogen (I think 5.0.5.1). I have never done that before.

[zedomax]

Yes, pretty simple, the hard part is actually installing the SDK and USB drivers. Once you do it, it's a piece of cake.

[unbornG4]

I have a question

do you have to unzip the files once you download them to your computer or just drag and drop the entire unzipped folder into the SD Cards root folder???

Every video ive seen of the actual installation has skipped this part which i think is significant

This part is the most confusing everything else seems relatively easy

[zedomax]

You can drag and drop the zip files, no need to unzip!

[unbornG4]

Thanks for the reply bro!

very much appreciated :)

[whiteneoangel]

Great video! Thanks... so from everything I'm seeing you do in fact have to root your Nexus One to install the Cyanogen mod. Now, since this video was so easy to follow, perhaps you could show the process of rooting the Nexus One? Or point me in the direction of some good instructions on how to do so? A lot of the tutorials out there are quick versions for non-beginners; problem is, I'm a beginner ^_^'

Awesome work though! Keep it up!

[zedomax]

Once you've installed the recovery image, your Nexus One is "rooted", that's all there is to it, this video is the steps after that.
