ARCHIVED: [DEAD ROM]The Scott Pilgrim ROM (CM7 Gingerbread, Zefie Edition)

[zefie]

Still kind of curious as to whether there's any way at all I can replace fonts on this ROM. I don't care if I have to do it manually; that's a learning experience for me. Can anyone help?

whats wrong with the normal method of overwriting /system/fonts?

Of course the second you modify the rom you lose the right to report bugs

He was using the app "Type Fresh", I figured the Odex rom will not take the fonts until rom is DeOdex. To DeOdex a nightly is senseless though, a new build is released within a few days anyway.

Zefie, is it possible to get VPN on GB? I know that it is more kernel related but I was hoping for some VPN support for this crazy phone.

Edit:
Nervmind, figured out my own problem. I was using the wrong type of connection.
The PPTP connection works great!!!!!
(FYI Android does not like a username with a space in it...)

really? even with my kernel i could never get it to work in stock xD awesome.

Odex shouldn't matter, the fonts should be read from /system/fonts/

Odex only used to matter when wer were trying to retheme the images or even hack in a functionality. But we have the source, and T-Mobile theme engine.

I never planned on DeOdex'ing the ROM Even at stable but I guess you guys would want both an odex and deodex. But honestly with the TMobile theme switcher there is no point. Odex is the reason it loads so fast and why you have more space on /data

And, to make a theme, just pull Cyanbread.apk (not odexed coz its just a resource like framework-res)

Once you modify Cyanbread.apk, rename it to something else, install it (system or adb install) and try it

Once you make a theme, give me the modified APK, I can extract it and make the theme Open Source on my git (or you can do it yourself on your own git by forking tmobile's cyanbread source)

I have the Xionia Kernel 2.6.32.26 (v007) and when I install the current version of cm7 my phone goes to the new lg splash screen and then switches to nrom and hangs. Should nrom show up? Do I need to clear something else? I only see wipe cache partition, there is also a wipe data/factory reset. I dont see wipe data/cache.

Make sure you are installing the formatSYSTEM.zip BEFORE installing CM7, and yes "wipe data/factory reset" = "wipe data/cache" so run that.

I'm using thunderc (RA-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM) and I had no problems whatsoever.

Must've been my fault then... I edited the framework-res.apk to replace the dropdown background image with my own... it shouldn't have messed anything up when it "re-archived" the apk, but I've been out of the game for awhile, so who knows!

cyanogen uses different keys for different parts of the OS so justing using a testkey sign that we are accustomed to doesn't work on certain apps and framework files.

Its weird and annoying but meh, i'm not changing the norm.

I think framework-res is platform.x509.pem but not sure.

I didnt realize the themes/fonts were not Odex, and can be edited through the Cyangread.apk. I hadn't looked into what it would take to theme, was just assuming. LOL, I know what assume stands for too! Given themes can be changed/edited this way I agree on leaving the rom Odex assuming the status bar icons can be changed with the Cyanbread.apk too

I can confirm the cyanogenmod themes with duck icon in market work. I have d/l 3 of them and they now show up in theme changer. I am currently running the yellow theme.

I downloaded a Theme Chooser theme with a "percentage battery icon" and it applies fine (including the percentage battery icon), but upon reboot, the percentage battery icon reverts to the stock battery icon (no percentage).

The rest of the theme is still intact... just not the percentage battery icon. If I reapply the theme, I have the percentage battery icon again, until I reboot.

For me, that is the reason I have applied a new theme: I'd like to have a number in the icon telling me how much battery is left.

Here's the link to the theme (scroll down the first post, it's called "Stock gingerbread W/ Percentage icons"): [THREAD] T-Mobile Theme Chooser For CM7 / Percentage icons (UPDATED :02/18/11) - xda-developers

SOLVED: I completed a fresh install of CM7 and applied the theme. The percentage battery icon now remains active upon reboot.

you can change the icons in the staus bar with the themer, changing from default theme to cyanbread changes the battery/signal/wifi from green to blue so..

cause of volume fading found. <nevermind>

I see now why there are not more themes yet. The images are the same but names are different. What is commonly known as "textfield_search_selected.9.png" is now "frameworks_res_textfield_search_selected.9.png" in Cyanbread.apk. This is the case for all images that are normally changed in themes. Creating or porting a theme from earlier versions of CM or any theme for that matter is going to take some time, a lot of renaming

But if we edit the Framework.apk this renaming of the png's in NOT required

or based on the filenames you could just make a script to rename all the files to have "frameworks_res_" prepended

oh and i did finally figure out the cause of the volume thing so...
no more normalization and speaker is much louder

That's awesome!! I can't wait till I have time to switch my phone from LEGO to CM7. Is the volume fix going in tonights build?

 

[Gutterball]

I'm using thunderc (RA-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM) and I had no problems whatsoever.

Yeah same here thats the recovery I used to

 

[Supakitsune]

The rom is currently Odex, so that wont work. If and when we get a RC it will more than likely be DeOdex, then Type Fresh will work. As far as themes there are some on the market, search CM7 theme.

Very nice!
Also, if I can modify fonts by packing them into the theme, I'll pass on swapping out the normal fonts with Type Fresh. Is this possible?

I'm getting some intermittent wake up lag. I can see that te CPU is running at 806 and 99% for quite some time. What is the best way to find what's causing it?

Is this in the 218 build or a new one? Thanks for all your hard work Zefie.

I'm having problems with GPS in CM7: it works just fine in GPS Status, but in Google Maps, after about 30 seconds or so, it says "Your current location is temporarily unavailable."

GPS works just fine in TR 1.6.2 (Google Maps pinpoints my location within a few seconds).

I've done data/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped Dalvik, did a fresh install of Build 02182011, and immediately installed Google Maps (performed no other operations other than connect to my wifi network)... it still doesn't work.

I even updated to ZVC (and rooted)... it still doesn't work.

"Use wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites" are both enabled in "Location & security settings".

EDIT: After receiving "Your current location is temporarily unavailable" in Google Maps, the GPS icon (solid circle inside other circle) continues to blink indefinitely until I exit Google Maps.

SOLVED: Upon first boot of a freshly flashed CM7 rom, it prompts you to "Allow Google's location service to collect anonymous location data"... this must be enabled! This is independent of "Use wireless networks", "Use GPS satellites" settings, and I'm not sure how to access this setting if it is not initially enabled. So, make sure it is enabled when it first prompts you, otherwise you may have GPS problems like I did!
