CM7 Nightly Builds

[sushiguy732]

Hey Sushi you can kind of add me to that list. My SD card failed today and told me a I may need to format. I unmounted it and then put it back and it read it fine. I was on build 8 but I am now on build 11.

Sorry to hear JTI... What Kernel were you using? BTW.... I am on 12 since yesterday and it works nicely. I "think" the call issue might be gone but I am not 100% sure.

I actually think I am on a stock Cm7 kernel. I don't remember changing it since I came back from Vanilla. Kernel Version says 2.6.35.7-gd12fa81 jt1134@ubuntu #1.

Are you still using glitch? Are saying you got good call vol. with glitch on build 12? This would be amazing as glitch is greased lightning.

I will never go "on the record" with any official opinions as every phone is different than the next. What I will say is that on my phone with CM7 v12 and Gltich my wife can hear me and she is not telling me I am an idiot for messing with my phone.

I cannot decide which Glitch Kernel to run at this point so my plan is the following. Although I will get the itch, I am not going to flash any more CM7 builds until there is something real to me that improves my experience. Meanwhile I will be testing out Kernels 3-4 days at a time to give a good burn in process. I am on the ML build now and not getting great battery life but then again it has only been a day.

Just got another "blank sd card" message on build 11. ugh

I read in one of the threads that someone was able to recover their card completly by putting into a windows computer, right clicking on the drive, properties, Tools, and then Error Checking.

Give it a shot....

 

[JeremytheIndian]

I formatted the card on the phone at that seemed to work but when I booted into recovery it couldn't mount the sd card. I hooked my phone up to my Mac and tried to repair the drive but CwM still wouldn't see it. I could access on root explorer for a while but eventually it told me it needed formatting again. Ugh, I'm not even sure where to go from here. I luckily had time to save a titanium backup to my Mac while it was connected so at least I have that.

Do you think I need to ref lash CwM via Odin? Tis is my first sd card issue

 

[JeremytheIndian]

I was able to save my card by partitioning and formatting via CwM. Reverted back to build 7 for now I may move back to build 13 or later when/if I get a chance to ODIN the Gingerbread Bootloader that JT posted on RootzWiki as he said this could fix the issue.

Also, I have seen discussion saying that the sdcard issue is a (mostly) post build 8 problem. Hopefully there will be definite fix soon.

I am making backups of my data anytime I take new pics/video. If I lose the card at least I'll have everything else.

Thanks for letting us know your experiences.

Keep us posted on that. Good point on the nightlies as there is not much happening that seems to have major impacts. I'm on 13, running Glitch HL, though as you state, all the phones are different and what works for one does not necessarily work for all others.

JT made a post on twitter that said to use the V2 kernel that he has posted on Rom Manager if you're worried about your sd card.

Hopefully this is a solid fix.

I am going to hold out until any problems come up, if at all.
Besides, I don't have a paid version of ROM Manager so I can't DL it.

 

[JeremytheIndian]

Yeah you can. It's not under the premium section. I don't have the paid version either.

I'm still on build 7 but this kernel is working rather nicely. Call volume is good too. Maybe I'll get brave and try this kernel with build 13.

Thanks JTI! I never knew about this. DLing now.. Stay tuned for feedback...

Here is my feedback so far...

Speed is good but I don't have a benchmark score yet to compare it to Glitch.
Phone call volume is not great for me and I am not sure if it is my phone as you said yours is good.

My SD Card got fried when changed my radio to EC09.

It was working fine on CM7 & ED04. I wanted to see if the new radio would help GPS lock. I loaded EC09 in the morning, that night the phone locked up and I had to pull the battery. when it rebooted the card was bad.

I put an old 8GB card in and downgraded the radio to DL09. since then everything has been okay (except for call volume)

I have been using EC09 ever since it came out and to date, on CM7 I have not had an issue.

 

[JeremytheIndian]

Yeah there have been no reports that sd card frying is tied to the radio at all. Pretty sure that JT suggests EC09 as the radio to use with mtd really roms.

I'm pretty sure mine is just dead, but I'm always willing to try something. What size did you use for the partition? CWM gives about seven options...

 

[bigjobber69]

Yah mine fried on build 13....anyone have a suggestions for an SD card at bestbuy or target? what class to get..

The higher the class the better performance. Get as high as you can afford.

 

[JeremytheIndian]

I've seen landshark mention that class 10 could cause problems.
