[UcanLEEKmaDEEK]

Is there a website that has all of these downloads grouped together?

[MobileTechVideos]

@UcanLEEKmaDEEK Yes it's already in the description. It's the CyanogenMOD website link. If you go to it, near the bottom you pick your device and then it takes you to the sourceforge page with all the links for the model you picked. People are getting upset but they just aren't looking.

@gabrielmendez1 you can do it officially with sgh t959v

[dawn1berlitz]

i dont trust cyanogen mod i put it on my phone testing it out and didnt like it it almost bricked my phone i had to find all the original files including the .pit partition file before i could really use my phone again and get dorian JVP back on my phone since it could do it without it cause it damaged a dev block called stl10 or something like that cyanogen mod is no good

[Shodan9168]

Amazing this is awesome

[gatecomingdown]

is that phone really worth all that work? , I don't think so

[PhoenixxxAz13]

WHEN I DID THE FIRST STEP THEN I HAVE TO CLICK ON APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD I CANT CLICK ON OK

[UcanLEEKmaDEEK]

I did this and ended up putting my phone back to stock w/ root. The battery life was beyond unacceptable. I only got 6hr battery life w/o using apps. While my phone had CM7, I would plug in my phone and open an application and the battery would still be draining! It was fun doing it though :)

i cant seem to find the market and every time i go to sync my gmail for contacts it says setup could not finish unable to connect to server anyone else have this problem??

[NeonGlowification]

@msreekm this happened for me at first too, but it was because i installed the latest sdk package. Before, i had to go to android-sdk> "tools", but from the latest sdk package, there should be a note that says the adb commands or something have been moved to "platform-tools." so instead of going to tools i go and type "platform-tools" instead.. idk if it helps, but try it out..

[gabrielmendez1]

[pivotmaster786]

[kidjames22]

dude can you give a list of instruction please because your subtitles helped a little i tried this on my vibrant and i went into a soft brick please help?

[jtkirk86]

does this work with the current INITIAL build which is 2.3.4, the instructions i found said to start with 2.2 froyo for that one, so wanted to know if I can still use these instructions and install CM7 2.3.4 or if I needed to use the other instructions.

Also Does this install superuser, if not can I still use the superoneclick to root after?
