Updates For Cyanogen Mod 7 2 RC5 5 For Galaxy Mini GT S5570 Smartphone

Updates For Cyanogen Mod 7 2 RC5 5 For Galaxy Mini GT S5570 Smartphone


It has been a while since the developer, squadzone, updated his Cyanogen Mod build; otherwise it was only the other day before we got updates. And, as the proverb runs "Whatever happens, happens for the best", it turned out to be quite helpful for me since I got some time to re-design my blog and make it look much better in the mean time. You can find more information about whats changed at this article. But, finally today we have an update for his latest Cyanogen Mod 7.2.0 RC5.5 custom rom and these updates are major ones so I thought of writing a whole new post to inform you about them. I have also managed to flash these updates on my Samsung Galaxy Pop and have got some screenshots of CM7.2 RC5.5 rom along with the updates at this article. I suggest you go through them before proceeding.

So, this time we have got two updates for both system and kernels. And this time  the changes include both addition of new features as well as removal of some other features; I believe it is so since the developer found these features unnecessary and obsolete. For more details on whats changed please view the changelog below :
CM7.2 RC5.5 with system and kernel updates.
  • Revert/Removed : Make WiFi network priorities configurable, Added option to first initial state of WiFi service
  • Fixed Proprietary info field skipping in Samuel Berubes voicemail notification.
  • Landscape Layouts for in-call screen.
  • Fix screen hang after dismissing a landscape alarm.
  • New Kernel with KSM enable.
  • Enable Enter Key on SMS/MMS.
  • Some Features Ported From Cyanogen Mod 9 rom :
    • Basic KSM Support.
    • Added Ice Cream Sandwich Pointer
    • Added KSM enable option.
    • Added build date.
    • Change ro.modversion into ro.cm.version.
    • Add Label to display Current CPU Frequency.
  • Added Screen OFF CPU Frequency (no require reboot)
  • Add NDROID_CPU_FEATURE_ARM_LDREX_STREX feature flag.
  • Added SD-Card Read ahead cache Option.
  • Added KSM Sleep time Option
  • Added KSM Scan Option
  • Added I/O Scheduler Option ( require reboot )
These are some of the major changes. Other minor fixes include: auto zipalign of apps, display supplementary Service Notifications, Refined Sim Toolkit (works but still buggy ), added ADW Launcher Dock bar option, Fixed compcache, Fixed Cm Compass, ability to change theme with androidian or cyanbread and many more. So, now that you know whats changed and improved, its time to flash this custom rom and test it on your android device. Get prepared and then follow the simple instructions from below.

Disclaimer : Do It At Your Own Risk!

Note : Those who have Gingerbread OS and any Custom Recovery installed on their device can skip Step 1 and Step 2. Also, those who have any custom rom installed can skip both Step 1 and 2.

1. Upgrade your firmware to Gingerbread using Odin Multidownloader v4.38.

2. Install any custom recovery available for Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop. You may either have Clock Work Mod Recovery or RZ Recovery - any is fine.

3. Download the two updates (both required) from below or from Roms and Utilities page.
  • update-kernel-system-cm-7.2.0-RC5.5.zip
  • update-second-kernel-system-cm-7.2.0-RC5.5.zip (Link Fixed !)
    Note : Though it is not necessary, I suggest you get CM7.2 RC5.5 rom installed on your galaxy pop/minii before you flash these updates as recommended by the developer.
4. Copy the downloaded files to the (root directory of) your sd-card.

5. Reboot your device to Custom Recovery (Press Home + Power Button).

6. [Optional but, Recommended] Do a Nandroid Backup of your current rom.

7. Flash both the zips one after another. Make sure you flash the first update (update-kernel-system-cm-7.2.0-RC5.5.zip) first and then the another one. Follow the steps as below :
  • Choose Install Zip From Sd Card>>Choose Zip From SD Card option and then select the file you downloaded from above using Home button and wait for it to be flashed. Install another one similarly.
  • Note : If you are using RZ Recovery instead, choose Install Menu>>Select update-kernel-system-cm-7.2.0-RC5.5.zip you downloaded>>Select Wipe Data and Wipe Cache>>Choose Install  [*update 1] and wait till it is flashed.After it is done repeat the steps for second update too.
8. Once both the updates are flashed, Wipe Data and Wipe cache from recovery menu.

9. Reboot your device from your recovery main menu.

So, thats all. You have flashed both update system and kernel zips for latest Cyanogen Mod 7.2.0 RC5.5 custom rom and your Samsung Galaxy Pop/Mini GT-S5570 smartphone is now up-to date with the latest features of CM7.2 rom. Now, search around the CM parts and check out all the cool features listed at the change log above. And once you are done with looking around please take some time to share this article with your friends as well as share you views with others at the comment-form below. P.S. You can find more information as well as say thanks to the developer at this thread on xda-developers forum.
