Guest FelixL Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) You should add: Gen2-TPT rocks! Edit: And wait, you need a PC for doing the TPT? O.o Maybe you should remove I don't have a PC to do it on. Edited April 29, 2011 by FelixL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MDCFan Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I don't like losing various ways to restore my phone if something goes wrong (no fastboot, no TPT and sometimes even no DFU), but since Gen2-TPT retains TPT I might go for it.

TPT also allows us to revert back so we lose nothing :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rwalton159 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Gen 2 was easy to upgrade to and is fine. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sej7278 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 TPT also allows us to revert back so we lose nothing :mellow: as i understand it you can only revert back to earlier cm7 builds, not mcr12/jj9 for example - is that right?

If you have upgraded your phone to Gen2 by TPT method (did not use that windows flasher) you should be able to revert to those Gen1 ROMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theShire Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Still on FLB Froyo r10 and don't have any issues, so no need to go Gen2 yet. Might look at CM7 again, tried a few nightlies when it was still Gen1 but decided to stick with FLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 For me, there's just not been any point yet. N35 is rock solid for me and latter versions (mostly cause of the charging bug) aren't. Once the charging bug is fixed I'll go gen 2 i expect. There's nothing especially putting me off it besides the inability to run N35. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azurana Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Currently on SS rls4, and like it. Good enough for me. I'll update as soon as I think CM7 is far enough for me to be using it :mellow: (other words.. can't be bothered yet cause I'm a lazy-ass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest veehexx Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 CBA for me. so far, none of the new roms sync properly with exchange 2010, so i'm still on flb 11b rom. if i've done my research right, you cant use a gen1 rom (ie: flb's) on gen2 phones. if roms came out that worked properly, then i'd likely be on gen2! :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benti77 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I follow an old statement, If a device is ok and a upgrade doesn't change the way I can use it, why spend my time upgrading, reinstalling and re-configuring it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hans Gruber Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I've not updated as my Gen1 CM7.0.0 is solid as a rock. I'll update once all the Gen2 GPS and charging issues are fixed. Edited April 30, 2011 by Hans Gruber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lesa0208 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I broke my notebook and did not followed the forum for ten days, and I do not know what has been fixed and what not on Cyanogem mode 7 rom :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldfella Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 using FLB 9b - its solid, smooth and battery friendly. Only reason to change would be to move to 2.3 - as CM7 still seems to have problems there is no value in changing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Armod Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm on SS rls3 and I missed the whole Gen1/Gen2 thing. My current rom works fine so I see no reason to change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShahinTehShiz Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm on SS RLS4b, I haven;t upgraded to 5 since that 1 person who says they have issues gets me scared! xD And I haven't dont Gen 2 since I don't know what the heck a TPT is or how to do it, and I don't want to mess it up + The guide is a bit unclear to me :S (I had to follow the dumbed down guide on orangesanfrancisco.co.uk to flash RLS4b) If the GEN 1 to GEN 2 guide was like the one of orangesanfrancisco.co.uk then I would've done it, otherwise I'm fine with the oh so stable RLS4b :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popoyaya Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 For those sitting on the fence, too scared or too lazy to go for CM7, I've finally taken the plunge after waiting for months and it's so worth it. Using Curl66's one-step Gen2 convert & install could not be simpler and after a few tweaks the phone is now so much smoother and feature packed. No freezing, rebooting, force-closing issues at all and battery life is excellent. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green text will show and it will boot into recovery (your now GEN2) 6. wipe, and install the GEN2 rom you picked 7. done curl66 method is even quicker though..

Not necessary for me at now : Swedish Spring RLS5 (GEN1) gives total satisfaction for my present Blade's use !! +1 Swedish Spring with darktremor's Apps2SD is (nearly) the perfect ROM for me. I will stay on Froyo until I get my next phone in 2-3 years. Regards Wolfgang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
