ReplyDeleteyagya i need help. How can I play .aac in Cyanogen Default Music player. I tried Meridian,Winamp,others but they couldnot play .aac ,while plays only mp3. However Rock player played it but its interface wasnt too good. Is there any other way like codec to play the .aac in android??
ReplyDeletethx for this, but i can't find market or google things. can i use gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip for cm7.1.0.rc1. sorry for my bad engslish ....
ReplyDeleteso far so good!! LOVE this one compared to RC5.2 .kudos! [+]
ReplyDeletealready done that and its working fine now with CM 7.2 RC 5.3 thx for help :D
ReplyDeleteHello again! :P someone here tried to install FONT CHANGER on CM7.2? does it work? want to change mine to UBUNTU REGULAR font :D
ReplyDeletehey there! :D same here I cant see the market and google thins (Gsearch,Gtalk &ETC.) I tried to flash GAPPS download from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps after reboot, all google things were there but still no sign of MARKET.. just sharing, might be bug for rc5.3 or there's something wrong on my part of installing :D
ReplyDeleteI am sure it works. Try it and see.
ReplyDeletejust try it,,,haha cool...my firts custom rom installed with my own hand...just trying to get used with it
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use that Gapps or download another recent one for GB from this site.
ReplyDeleteNow, you have got one of the wiredest of the problem I have ever heard. Don't know any fix for it? Maybe it's a problem with your settings or with the rom. Try flashing the rom again or wipe data and cache and start from beginning.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome! But, sorry to say that a custom recovery or CWM recovery is a complusion to install Cyanogen Mod and other custom roms. You can install it simply by following step by step instructions provided here.
ReplyDeleteYes, as Mohd said, wipe both data and cache by going to recovery mod and your device should boot fine.
ReplyDeleteThe most stable and recommended frequency for most devices is around 753 MHz. Try it, you device should operate normally at this frequency.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your consideration. I took your suggestion and am thinking to work at a slow pace for a few days.
ReplyDeleteI got a problem, dont know where to download fonts. :D is regular fonts from PC is compatible?
ReplyDeletei have got a problem with GPRS(NTC/NCELL) setting.............
ReplyDeleteYes, regular PC fonts also do the trick. However any fonts with .ttf extension work fine on Android.
ReplyDeleteAfter flashing the ROM the settings for Gprs or mobile data are removed. And thus you need to create a new APN for your network. Go to Mobile Data Settings in wireless and network settings and then click on menu and choose add APN. For NTC use ntnet as APN name and leave other fields blank. For NCELL you can find good settings at NCELL's website. You can give any name for APN. Once created select it and also select use mobile data option on settings. You might also need to reboot your device before it works fine.
ReplyDeleteHi Yagya,
ReplyDeleteToday I finally took the step to change to Cyanogen! I ended up having to revert to CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5 to get it to work, but it's OK now!
My problem is that my Home button no longer takes me back to the home screen. Neither does long-press Power home option. The button physically works as it will wake the device from sleep.
I have looked through options but can't get this to work again; any ideas?
hey yagya good morning, after installing this rom can i partition my sd card and install DARKTREMOR to transfer dalvik cache to my ext3?... can i just follow your old post regarding the dark tremor?...
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the one you need to follow. Just follow the steps carefully in my old post about a2sd and you will be done.
ReplyDeleteWell! Glad everything is normal. Enjoy this rom, it's pretty nice!
ReplyDeletecan't seem to get my bluetooth working in rc 5.3.it only says paired but not connected when i tried to pair it to my pc..can u help?
ReplyDeleteI flash this costom rom but when i flash gapps then after tht i cant find gapps.. plz help..
ReplyDeletei have got one more problem "sending the application through bluetooth"....
ReplyDeleteokay thank you very much...
ReplyDeleteHow can i play .aac music file in this ROM
ReplyDeleteConvert the .aac file into .mp3 format using any Media Converter software on your PC and then you can play it on your galaxy mini.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is a know one. The workout is simple as renaming the app to some other format or using bluetooth file transfer app from market. Also, you need to use any other file manager otherwise the bluetooth send might not work properly.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you mount /system and /data partitions before flashing gapps and after you flash gapps you need to run any google app or go to Accounts and Sync Settings and add a google account. Find the article on how to get google apps here at this site.
ReplyDeleteFind article on how to flash google apps on your android smartphone and go through it. You need to mount /system and /data before flashing it. Market works fine.
ReplyDeleteHi Yagya, Out of box question.
ReplyDeleteHow to avoid the theme error. "Sorry, This theme is missing assets for device's screen size" in Theme Chooser app
Please help me.
hey is it possible to increase RAM..?
ReplyDeleteCan anybody help me? I need step-by-step instructions on how to use A2E with Cyanogen Mod 7.2.0 RC5.3 especially how to set-up A2E. Great work on RC5.3.
ReplyDeleteMARKET's icon is visible now.. what I did is connect my phone through wifi and registered my account. :) i didnt mount/system / data or anything cause i dont know it :D
ReplyDeleteOf course! I am here for the same purpose. I believe you meant S2E and not A2E. For that you install s2e app and then check move apps to sd-ext and reboot. You can also check other apps according to your preference. I don't recommend moving dalvik cache. Also, there is a post about s2e here please, search here and you will get it (and more details in it).
ReplyDeleteThe one who created the theme forgot to include assets for ldpi screens. You need to use themes made for QVGA screens only.
ReplyDeletehello bro,could you plese tell me how can i obliterate gprs data connection problem of cyanogenmod 7.2 rc5?I can make a phone call but i can't use the internet?i have faced the same problem while using emanon v3 and emanon v4 roms.
ReplyDeleteTo use GPRS you need to setup a working APN settings at Mobile Data Settings in Wireless and Network settings. The settings of your APN differs from network provider to providers so, I suggest you ask help from your network operator, once you configure a working APN and select it and also check Use Mobile Data option in settings, you ought not have any problem while accessing internet.
ReplyDeleteyagya u didn't reply to my question is it possible to increase RAM.?
ReplyDeleteI don't need any apn configaration for cyanogenmod 7.2 music edition.Whenever i flash this rom i can use intenet connection without any problem.Then why should i be needing apn configuration for other roms such as emanon v3,emanon v4 and cyanogenmod 7.2 rc5.3 .this problem also persists in cyanogenmod 9.
ReplyDeleteBy the way bro bluetooth seems to be not working in cyanogenmod 9 rom.Bro should i update my clockwork mod recovery.I got cwm version 4.0.3.and thanks for your quick response.
ReplyDeleteBluetooth should have worked fine in Beta 2... And, you can upgrade to latest version of CWM if you want but it is not required to do so.
ReplyDeleteNow, how can I reply that why you should or shouldn't. That is the not the question that you should or shouldn't, it a fact that configuration is needed and you better set it up (by taking help from your operator) and try again. Also, make sure Use Mobile Data is checked in Mobile Data Settings in Wireless and Networks settings.
ReplyDeleteQUESTION: what if I wipe cache / data ? should I install the updates again?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot bro.Now i can use data connection.One more thing bro,could you please suggest me whether i should update my clockworm mod recovery or not.My current cwm version is 4.0.3
ReplyDeleteThat's not a question to ask. Just don't wipe data and cache if it is not needed. But, I don't think you need to install updates again even if you wipe data and cache.
ReplyDeleteOk! Then update your cwm recovery to v5.0.2.8.
ReplyDeletewhich is the most stable cyanogenmod version for galaxy mini....
ReplyDeleteAll cyanogen builds are stable, however I found rc 5.1 much better since it has got all the extra features, I have longed for.
ReplyDeletethanks Yagya ... today installed music2.1 mix... it's based on cm7.1? or 7.2? and how to remove default apps on cm7????
ReplyDeleteplease help, titanium backup is getting force close in Cm7.2.0 rc5.3 updated, so i can't back up my "apps" and there is no 'market app' available so i can't even download apps! what to do?
ReplyDeleteTo get market and all flash google apps first in clockwork mod recovery and then sign in with a google account (by adding one at Account and Sync Settings> Add account). Titanium backup should work fine, wipe data and cache in CWM recovery and try again.
ReplyDeleteEvrything is except that the icons are higly pixelated any fix for that and good job with the blog
ReplyDeleten frgot i thing the apps take way too much space than it used to in stock gingerbread
ReplyDeleteMaybe the updates have got the fixes; try flashing them in recovery. Otherwise, you might consider waiting for next release.
ReplyDeleteApps take the same space as on Gingerbread; it's just your illusion not to think so.
ReplyDeleteanyone having a problem with the WIFI connection? already flashed the latest system update but WIFI connection is stll obtaining IP > refresh > obtaining IP again > refresh > REMEBERED (not connected) - EVEN THOUGH im just a meter away from the router.. any idea anyone? already tried to wipe CACHE / DATA.
ReplyDeleteI have flashed it .good news--every hdpi theme I downloaded are now working well there's no status bar problem.now downloading hdpi theme :-) I like the back and menu button on the status bar
ReplyDeleteguys who are facing problem in making internet connection.,go to settings create an apn,type internet at apn box,then in the 'apn type' box write 'default,supl' I was facing same problem i thought its a bug then flashed back to my previous rom and checked that.after following these steps to my utter surprise it works for me now i can see the internet logo RC 5.3 is really stable. screen back button is great no need to touch hardware button .I'm so happy thanks to tj, yagya and squadzone
ReplyDeletemaybe your Mac address has been changed. Try to flash the ROM and see if it can be restored. Also, disable ant Mac filtering settings in your router and try to connect again.
ReplyDeleteI'v got a problem with my internet coz it keeps on force closing.
ReplyDeleteI hope to get advise on how to deal with this prob...
fixed by flashing the ROM again :D
ReplyDeleteand oh is it safe to update superuser on the market? i see an update is available :D
ReplyDeletehi yagya, I got some questions, I'm using cyanogenmod 7.2.0 rc5 at the moment, if I flash this rom, will I still need to flash the google apps again? and what benefit do I get on partitioning my SD card? the maps on the CM7.2 always force closes on my mini, is that bug fixed on this update?
ReplyDeletethanks in advance, I LOVE your roms! :)
Yes, maps v5.9 or below is supposed to work fine. Also, search for an article how to install apps to sd card article and go through it to know the benefits of partitioning and a2sd. Yes, you might need to flash gapps --it is not a big issues, is it? Hope everything is clear. Just do a backup and get started.
ReplyDeleteThe apps updates itself so don't bother.
ReplyDeleteBro,whwnever i reboot/boot my cell i find my android market app's icon missing.I even tried to replace the existed app with a updated version but even though i get the same symptom.It seems to me this app is working fine then why its icon is missing from the appdrawer.
ReplyDeleteNot sure, wait for tomorrow and I will post the updated version. And who knows all your problem might just be solved after updating to RC5.4.
ReplyDeletethanks bro.you're a real life saver.and many many thanks for your quick response
ReplyDeleteyagya, can u help me with my prob with cm7 rc5.3? my launcher always force close. and i cant turn on my usb storage. it closes then restarts my phone... tnx
ReplyDeleteDo a data and cache wipe in click work mod recovery and reboot your device. The problem are likely too be solved.
ReplyDeletei did d wipe things but still having d same issues... guess il wait for another release.... or maybe emanon v5... do u think its way more better than cm7? how bout cm9? us there any update? tnx...
