Cyanogen is playing tonight! :)

hey new to flashing roms. i think i have the jist of this after reading for a while.

i have full root. i installed clockwork rom manager. i backed up my old config. then i placed the cm_nightly build in the root, and asked clock work to load it. is that all? seems pretty easy am i missing somethin?

then if i feel like going back i install clockwork again (or titanium load my back up) and load the rom from my back up directory?

thanks.

sorry if thats a lame step by step. but i didnt see 1,2,3 instructions like on the root process.

That is most of it, You also need to make sure your Radio is up to date, and also flash the google apps so you can get into the market. You also need to do a full wipe to make sure everything goes smoothly (well gives you the best chance)
 
Also make sure you wipe completely and wipe dalvik cache too before flashing over CM6.

hey thanks. im just playing now. how do i install the google apps. i do not have the market. and this is annoying. i did get titanium, from the url...and have loaded back most of my stuff. but i can reload the market and other google apps.
 
thanks. this is pretty cool. now im excited i feel like i can switch around and its really not all that much work. once i have it all setup, can i backup with clockwork then load any version of my "full" back up and have it go back to where i left off?

once again...hope this isnt a bad place for this ? im making progress. 2.2 is much faster than the 2.1 build. very fun.
 
thanks for the link. but im now getting force closes on market and many other google apps. is there a way to fix this?
 
i just used rom manager to download the nightly, the google apps, then to wipe and install rom ... easy as it gets

I would say rewipe and reflash and right after it flashes the rom flash the Google apps. I have not had any force closes

i just got finished setting everything up. this seems to work very well. but im missing 2 things from the stock EVO build. Is there a way to get the Sense Calendar, or Sense clock? those are the only 2 things i cant seem to find in th e market that are as nice.
 
I wanted to bang my head into a wall after loading and unloading and doing command prompts, rebooting, waiting, renaming, rebooting, ugh..

thank GOD thats all over..

Finally fully rooted- Nand unlocked- froyo 2.2 cyanogen cm6
 
I don't know how it was for everyone else, but this latest nightly got my Qik Video Chat working. Slowly but surely each build is fixing what it needs to. Soon enough we'll all have Froyo and Sprint will be out of luck because no one will want the real update! Haha!

Sounds like just about everyone can't get MMS to work- save a few lucky souls.

Many FroYo ROMs don't have the option to update PRL. You should make sure you are up-to-date in a 2.1 ROM before you flash a 2.2- PRL is sticky between ROMs, unless you flash a new radio. If you flashed a new radio, you need to flash back to a 2.1 ROM, update PRL, then flash back to CM6. Nandroid makes this very painless :cool:

No idea on Dev Tools.

It is not possible to run Sense widgets or Apps on any launcher other than Sense.

Try Fancy Widget in the market as a sense clock replacement, looks the same.

As for the calendar, give the AOSP email program a chance, I think it's miles superior to the Sense cal. For a nice cal widget try, "android agenda widget."
Android Agenda Widget:

For every one that i having gapps issues, and issues messaging. Be careful what you restore with titanium. I don't know which ones for sure, but some of the data you might restore conflicts with parts of the Cyan rom. If you just restore your apps, and be very careful restoring data, you should be fine.

Also, you can try to use Handcent for SMS/MMS messaging, you'll have to install the apk since you wont find it in the market.
