[ROM] CM7.2 Port for Optimus S by thekraven 3/9 zvd only
- Thread starter thekraven
- Start date
Whats the best way to flash the 10/10 build if i have the 10/6 build? can i just dirty flash it and gapps? i did that last time and it seemed to work with the 10/4 or 5 to 10/6. and i just want the easiest way to flash without having to put in account stuff. i use titanium to restore my applications, and that works, but could i use titanium to just restore system apps to the new build once flashed? and will that cause issues with the system apps? feedback before i download 10/10!!!
You shouldn't restore system apps! Just user apps. Sometimes issues will occur doing that.

You can try a dirty flash. Shouldn't hurt anything. When flashing an update its usually best to wipe everything but you probably won't experience issues if you dirty flash. Now, if you do experience issues, you know that you should go to recovery and wipe everything then flash the Rom and gapps.Whats the best way to flash the 10/10 build if i have the 10/6 build? can i just dirty flash it and gapps? i did that last time and it seemed to work with the 10/4 or 5 to 10/6. and i just want the easiest way to flash without having to put in account stuff. i use titanium to restore my applications, and that works, but could i use titanium to just restore system apps to the new build once flashed? and will that cause issues with the system apps? feedback before i download 10/10!!!
Just so you know. This is a cm7 issue and always has been. You're just going to have to get used to it using cm7....
This is very true! And sometimes issues will even occur when restoring user apps. For example, going from one Rom to another Rom, sometimes restoring apps will have unexplained issues. The best practice is to start fresh. Usually undesired results are not common but in the circumstance that it does occur, remove the app and try downloading fresh from the market. Again, I'm talking about user apps and for system apps, its just as pergerson6 said, don't do it.

[How-To] SetCPU profiles
I figured I'd document a fairly comprehensive profile setup in SetCPU to save battery but keep the phone acting snappy as ever.
WARNING:
CM7 users!! You need to make sure Menu>Settings>Cyanogenmod settings>Performance>CPU - "Set on boot" is not checked! If this is checked, please uncheck it, reboot the phone, then proceed.
Prereqs:
- Phone must be rooted
- You need the SetCPU app. There are 2 ways to obtain the app. The first is to buy it from the market. Yes, this costs money BUT your supporting a developer of an awesome app and anytime he updates said app you get notified through the market and can easily install the newest version. The second way to obtain the app is free from the developers thread on XDA.
- Make a fresh NAND backup of your phone (just in case you get crazy)
- An OC-able processor is suggested otherwise you need to adjust some numbers based on your phones inability to OC
Concept:
What we're going to do is setup specific scenarios which will control your CPU. These scenarios can be based on performance, battery saving, or general protection of your device. The profiles I am going to describe below are a mixture of these three things.
How-To setup profiles
- Open SetCPU
- Grant it SU permission
- Click the profiles tab
- Click enable profiles then click add profile
- Make your screen look like this (explanation/description below)
The first profile is to protect your phone from ... YOU! If the device gets to hot, it will automatically scale the processor down to allow it to cool. Once it cools it will obey the profile it would typically follow. This is the highest priority profile which is why it's at the top of the list. This profile will take priority over any other profile which is a good thing.
The second is to save battery while the screen is off. This will lock the CPU between these lower frequencies when the screen is off, using less mv, resulting in less battery usage. Think about it like this, do you need your phone to scale to 748MHz just to receive a text then of course scale all the way back down? No!
The next is for when the phone is charging. This includes USB and AC charging. The first 2 rules we discussed above have a higher priority so the phone will obey them first, but where this charging profile comes in to play is, even if you have 10% battery once you plug your phone into a charging source it will then be allowed to freely scale back up to 748. Without a charging profile the phone would stay locked at whatever frequency it's told to follow by a battery % profile.
Our first battery profile!!! I'm going to go really in depth and explain how this works in hopes it gives you a better idea on priorities. I will not do this for the rest of the battery profiles but the concept is the same.
What this profile means is ... When the phone is cooler than 104 degrees F, and the screen is on, is not plugged into an AC or USB power source, and has less than 10% battery remaining to set it so the CPU can only scale between 480 and 480.
What i just did was type out exactly how the phone views profiles based on priority. It's first priority is to protect from heat. It's second is to save battery when the screen is off. It's 3rd is to increase performance while charging, and finally it considered percentage of battery left. Hope that helps.
The rest are all battery profiles by reading my above description, they should make sense.
Of course these numbers are all dependent on your preference and your device. If you prefer to clock up to 768, make the necessary adjustments to your profiles. If you want to have the phone clock up to 748 while on AC power and only 729 while on USB power, make the necessary adjustments. This list is not the end all be all. It's very organic and very user dependent. My goal was to provide a pretty good setup for those who do not know all the in's and out's.
Enjoy.
EDIT - For those that may be curious, my phone was unplugged at 6:00am and has been used to browse, moderate forums , gtalk, send and receive about 10 emails, couple calls, few calendar reminder events ... what i consider standard usage. The battery was at 79% at 1pm so with all that usage i averaged 3% per hour and that while OC'ed to 25% higher than standard running CPU not too shabby

This may just be a theme issue but has happened on several different themes. In the browser I can't see certain checkboxes or radio buttons. Googlr has been a notorious website. I can get them to reappear sorta by switching themes to a stock theme and switching back.
Anyone else have this issue or know where to start looking. Link to screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/aKXw6.jpg
Note also buttons like Reply, Save etc on the bottom of the mobile version of this site only show the words and no box around them. Thanks
Edit: this is 10/10 with the Gingerblurb theme though problem persists with Crystal theme. Flashed over 10/6 after clearing dalvik and cache. 10/6 was a fresh install.

are you rebooting your phone after switching themes? if not i would do that and see if the problem persists. Also some themes for CM7 do not support MDPI phones which ours is. This can result in some of the weird problems you're having.This may just be a theme issue but has happened on several different themes.

If its not mdpi I don't think it would even let you change it through the theme Chooser.

It was hdpi but was reported to work well with mdpi. This isn't a huge issue so I can live with it until I try another theme later or do a fresh install later. I had the MIUI theme someone posted in this thread, oddly after I uninstalled it remained in Theme Chooser, it persisted though my cache wipe and sdext format and had to be reinstalled and uninstalled to disappear.
I'm just gonna call this an anomaly on my phone and deal with it. Thanks guys. Rom runs great XD
If you want to test its Crystal theme in the market. I saw it on the CM forum theme section.

That's a scary theme. One that lasts through wiping. Thanks for the warning. I'll be staying away from that one. Lol

To be fair I was having spontaneous reboots from overclocking too high. I don't remember but I may or may not of had one while uninstalling it. But ya, wasn't a full wipe but still weird it showed up under the Theme Chooser and not App Settings.
No it doesn't connect to any wifi. It sees it but if you try to connect it just says obtaining network and then keeps retrying.

Are there any other themes? The status bar at the top looks kind of ugly, but everything else is awesome.

Type in market cm7 themes and download the other theme Chooser or just download mdpi themes right from the market.

Anybody else have apps force closing on them music adw ex and browswers seem to be force closing! Have used debugg format and wiped dalvic and the cache. It has happened on the last few releases any ideas? Maybe a full wipe ugh lol

Its probably the garbage adw browser all together. I had issues with adw and the ex version also. Downloaded launcher pro and haven't had a single issue.
