Gonna build cyanogenmod 7 for the pro

[paulieleilani]

thanks...Im trying to use the z4root app but I cant get to work. is there a nother app i should be using? or a diffrent method all togeather?

If you are currently running 3.8.7 I believe that zroot will not work...you will need to download and use "Aroot"...you can find on xda in the Atrix forums....

Aroot involves using your PC in the rooting process rather than just an app on your Pro...

thanks I'll try that

k guys heres my alpha build: cyanogen_venus2-ota-eng.jonathan.zip it is a direct port of the droid x by cvpcs. i'd like to thank cvpcs, koush, and cyanogenmod and tbh for the help and guidance. you should make a clockwork backup of whatever version youre running and then you gotta sbf back to 2.26.60. if you bootloop on the initial reboot, pull the battery and reinsert it while pressing r+m+power and wipe data and cache then reboot. you should reactivate your phone when it prompts you to do so. after the long 2.26.60 start up process, you should root (i use z4root), then install droid 2/x bootstrapper and reboot into recovery. after you boot into clockwork, go to mounts and storage and wipe system, data, and cache. the go back to the initial screen and select choose zip from sd card and install the zip i posted. there are dumb bugs i know this is only my alpha build. this is just a showing of the progress ive been able to make between work and enjoying the summer life. enjoy guys more and only better things to come for the pro in the near future

edit if you want gmail and the marketplace and such, you need to download gapps from the bottom of the cyanogenmod website here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version (the cm7 one) then put that zip on your sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard and pick that one

Great work on getting the alpha ready for download! Can you give us an overview of what works/doesn't work? That way, people will know if a feature they need isn't working properly yet.

 

[JackpotClavin]

data, voice, and wifi work. camera and camcorder do not, the landscape virtual keyboard does not which is my main priority right now, light sensor does not work which means the keyboard backlights do not work as they are tied together but i do believe i have a workaround for my next build to have the keyboard backlight function but everything else works to my knowledge. one big thing i should let you know before you install is that suggestions while typing do now work as of right now so if you rely on suggestions a lot this build may not be your build yet

 

[patmw123]

Sounds like you've done a fantastic job so far. Try downloading keyboard backlight from the market to see if it is a possible work-around for the backlight issue. It most likely won't work but its worth a shot.

Got any guinea pigs yet?

I've been running it for a few hours now, it seems ok. That boot animation could some work, but that is not an essential function, lol.

Edit: Theme chooser does not work. It will reset to the default theme after a reboot.
Edit: When in multimedia cock, the clock is in landscape mode instead of portrait mode.

Can someone lay out the steps? I assume it's:

1) SBF to 2.26
2) Download ROM Manager
3) Boot into CWM
4) Install zip
5) Voila!

 

[patmw123]

Are we supposed to be on 2.26.20 or 2.26.60 in order to install? I have sbfed to 2.26.20 and am confused as to whether or not I need to OTA update to 2.26.60 in order to get this running.
