Great work, kallt_kaffe. :)

Nightly 41 now running on my Gen 1 B10 blade.

Hopefully, I'll see fewer or no touch screen freezes from now on.

Thanks for allowing us more cautious types (warranty wise!) access the latest CM7 ROMs.

i used the converter (thank you) with N41 on a TFT San Francisco

yet (although i haven't tried) i believe that SS has a working FM radio with RDS but on CM7 it just gives me an FC

both have

CONFIG_FM_SI4708=y

The kernel must support (RDS) FM radio, which cm7 does not, yet at least. FM radio was a notorious battery drainer in all froyos, so I guess, you will reevaluate your decision to use RDS radio. :)

this is a different kernel

If I already used converter, and now I will try to install next nightly - do I need to install converter every time when I try to install new ROM?

considering what it is doing (replacing the kernel and some libs) the answer would have to be yes

Do whatever you want with it. These kernels will NOT work with other ROMs as they are VMSPLIT_3G and all other ROMs, except CM7 is VMSPLIT_2G.

Sorry to be sounding pedantic but you did say CM7 is VMSPLIT_2G - that is not true.... :) :)

That is NOT what he is saying, he is saying that:

CM7 is VMSPLIT_3G

ALL OTHER ROMS are VMSPLIT_2G

I think what he was aiming for was: all roms, except cm7, are vmsplit_2g :)

Installed N42 using the converter for GEN1, worked perfectly and N42 is running without problems so far, smoother than N35 :)

Thanks again Kallt Kaffe!

just quick question i now have cm7 nightly 41, and have customised the homescreen, widgets etc, how do i upgrade to nightly 42 onwards, without losing my home screen customisation and apps?

sorry for being a noob (oops sorry for accidental swear)

Hi

Whenever i install a newer cm build, i need to install the converter also? or enough just once?

Yes, always install the converter directly after installing the ROM!

Because the converter changes the kernel so that it can be used with Gen.1

Search function is available in this thread ;-)

I know this won't work with other ROMs besides CM7, but if you took the Libs from this package and combined it with the kernel from SS for Gen2, would this work on, say, FLB r11?
