So when I went to upgrade last night, all of my apps, data, and Widgets were gone. I promptly restored my nandroid and decided to deal with it later. Is this how the update is supposed to work? I thought it would be like an OTA and keep all of the apps, homescreens, and Widgets. Or do I just have to back up and bite the bullet and reorganize everything?

Apps, data, and homescreen are suppose to be there. Was data wiped when you installed it?

My GPS seems to be running fine. I've used Waze twice since updating with no problems and I've used Foursquare several times as well.

It could be my area is just spotty. As long as I have a correct map route then that will work for me.

I don't think so. At least I didn't explicitly tell it to. You are supposed to clear both caches right? I just updated via Rom manager and told it to clear the caches and not the data. Can anyone point me in the direction of the proper update method?

 

[SmokeCrawler]

I don't use Rom Manager, but all you need to wipe when doing it manually is wipe cache and dalvik cache. Everything will look the same after installing the updated version.

When using Rom Manager, and you wipe data the Rom that appears will be as if you bought a phone from the store with ASOP installed. You will start basically from scratch with the exception of a few additives. So unless you back up you apps within the apps on the SD card or use something like Titataium Backup, every time you flash a new Rom using Rom Manger and clear the data you will have to start from scratch.

Toss my hat in the ring as another person whose GPS is now working flawlessly. Locked on right away and displayed accuracy was within about 10 feet of where I am in my apartment building, if I can in any way trust the blue indicator on the overlay.

Gotcha. I just upgraded via recovery menu with no issues. I'm all set with 7.0.2.1. I have found that rom manager is only useful for the clockwork mod recovery.

Normally I would go ahead and flash #57 but this the first time I have a stable release that is actually working for me (7.0.2.1). I think I might actually settle down with this release and see what comes in a later date.

I just flashed (7.0.2.1). I was the same way. I was very have with CM 7.0 and I hope 7.0.2.1 runs just as good or better. I'm have been using the Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc kernel with the CM 7.0 and have been VERY VERY happy with Tiamat.

I remember not to long ago someone was talking about facebook app crashing. Well, a new update is out 1.5.4 with bug fixes, maybe that will help ya out.

I been using nightly builds for so long I almost forgot about using others kernels. lol
I think the time is now to play around with them again.

I was one that was having major f/c problems with version 1.5.3. Thanks for the heads up. Going to uninstall the version I have now and give the new version a shot. I still got the old version handy just in case.

Does this post-1.5.2 version still prevent contact picture syncing?

I havent tried. If your having trouble I found this on a XDA Developers

Facebook Contacts do not sync:There are two fixes for this:
By phone:Open Facebook app settings> Sync Contacts: pick either sync existing if you only want to match up current contacts or pick sync all if you want to add Facebook friends to your contacts list.
Now open your Contacts app and select a contact to "fix": then hit Menu>Edit Contact>Menu>Join
You will have to do this will all bad contacts.
By computer: Start on your phone and go to Facebook settings and sync contacts as before. Then go to your homescreen>Menu>settings>Accounts and sync and manually sync BOTH Google and Facebook contacts.
Then go to your Gmail on your computer (You can probably do this through your phone's browser but I have not tested it).
Click: Contacts then "More actions \/" then "Find and merge duplicates..." Be sure to double check them!
After that be sure to go back to your phone and manually sync. It may alert you saying that a LOT of contacts have been deleted, just accept that.
