Re: [ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) - 7/9/2011

The Sprint build will pull binaries from the same location. So unless you overwrite them with Sprint blobs you'll get the same thing, just configured with Sprint branding. If cnd is missing (and yeah, I haven't added that to the repository yet), copy it over from a stock ROM to the indicated vendor path or just comment that line out from the device mk file. Really. Look at device_thunderc.mk. The only conditional bits are where it sets the ERI file, the kernel and modules, the carrier ID, and the google branding. Everything else is shared (whether or not this is a good idea, I dunno).

I use swype, but last I checked the stock keyboard worked fine too with Spanish and US English (as well as it can be expected to work), and I've just ignored the build warnings.

The connection errors are because git is preferring the IPv6 AAAA records to the IPv4 A records. Unless you've got an IPv6 tunnel set up, you're not going to be able to connect to them. It's then going to fall back on the IPv4 A records which will work for you. You can probably configure git to prefer IPv4 by default and thus quash the needless warnings.

Not likely but if you try make sure you grab the clicker.apk aswell as it's required for that keyboard to function.

Was I halucinating when I read the change log I thought wired headsets were fixed? Still getting the same issues as before with mine...

On a side note; got my lcd density set back down to 140, WOOOO!!! :D

Set my density to 140 and don't notice a difference... is something supposed to be different?

Everything should be a little smaller. I like to run mine at 120. Try that and see if you notice a difference.

Didn't realize there was two values. Changed both to 140 and now it works. Anybody have a recommendation on the best size? This one seems tolerable. I don't see a benefit yet but I'm going to try it. Who knows? :)

I've also noticed a small bug. If you toggle the volume down while in a call, if you go down to about 1/4 volume it cuts out the person on the other line. You have to get it just right to have the volume low and still be able to hear the person on the other end. Never had this problem with stock or a rom built off the stock rom (ie reborn, etc). I have seen this issue with the AOSPCMOD and this rom only. Of sure if its the cm7 or gingerbread port portion that's causing the issue but figured I'd report it...

Is this normal?

Depends on what "normal" is. All your percentages seem to look like all the ones I've ever seen. I'm not sure how long the battery holds on this rom. Maybe its appropriate to get everyone's feedback on battery life and have them list what they are using.


I'm using CPU tuner, news and weather widget, and Google search widget. Data2sd running with about 40ish apps right now. 800mb of internal left. Haven't had a full charge and discharge since I've had this rom but I'm gonna get my battery full, wipe stats and discharge then recharge and report back.

This is my first cm7 based rom so im not acquainted with the battery life of gingerbread roms but on froyo i can definitely say i got much better battery life. I also want to point out that during those nine hours i was not using my phone. I left it on standby over night. So basically it went from around 90% to 12% while doing almost nothing in 9 hours. I don't believe thats normal.
 
Re: [ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) - 7/9/2011

This build seems to be working quicker for me. Even with 192mb of apps (data2sd of course). :)
very nice work. Loving it!

I've been searching for the last 15 minutes or so but I just can't find it. How exactly do you make data2sd work on this phone.

My next question is for ath3nos or anyone else who's familiar with both this rom and zefie's Scott Pilgrim Rom. Is this rom at the point where it isn't any more broken than that one now? I want to switch to this rom but I don't want to lose any functionality in the switch. As far as I can tell, there's no regression between Scott Pilgrim 04/19 and this rom's 07/09 builds but I just want to make sure.

Lastly, will it be ok if I either dirty flash this one over the Scott Pilgrim rom or if that's not a good idea, can I simply perform a Titanium Backup data restore and not risk breaking anything? I don't like restoring the apps one by one but I know that in the past restoring 2.3.n app data over a fresh 2.3.n+1 flash was a bad idea.

Thanks for the help. I hope to be joining you on this rom shortly ^_^

No that's not normal its basically showing that your phone is staying awake while your not using it and cell standby at 50% could be the reason which is a defect in the rom... We also had this problem on the HTC Hero and was draining my battery...

Is there a fix? I've heard of the TWS 50% bug, if thats the one your referring to, but I've never heard anything of the phone staying awake.

The lowest volume will be zero which is "near mute", but will be indicated on screen as one and not muted. I'm on the fence about that as a bug as I'd like to be able to mute the phone not just the mic if needed. The real bug to me is that volume indicator won't go down to zero and I've no idea why. Anyhow one click up from the lowest volume will re-enable sound.

Something's holding a wakelock and it's not ROM related. AIM is a common culprit.

Wired headsets work (ear + mic), but I did just notice I had to twiddle the volume for the earpiece to start working. Pretty sure I know what's broken. Also the speakerphone volume is /way too loud/ even at the lowest setting.

Is this density thing is for the keyboard?

It resizes the entire screen for the most part, it's almost like resolution in the respect that all the icons and text appear smaller and the screen eludes to being larger. However it is very clearly not resolution.

The absolute best example I can give to judge the density it to pull up your dialer. My mom was complaining about everything being too small on her phone so we set her density to 170, she wanted higher but it was chopping buttons off her dialer :D

Edit: before anyone asks, yes I bought my mom a smart phone; now I can actually get a hold of her if I need ;)

Is there an issue with signal strength bars on cm7? When I use this vs reborn, this shows 1 to 2 bars versus reborn being full bars. However, when I look at phone status they both sit around 78db....any thoughts? Great ROM by the way!!

On 2.2 froyo on all phones there is an issue where the status bar signal icon basically over exaggerates the signal strength. For example it may show that you have four bars when you really have two.

Also I resigned and zipaligned the .apk's in my build and some how the camera works now.
I recompiled the build using different vendor proprietary files and omitting the cnd from the thunderc_device.mk
Next test in about two hours. Maybe something will change. If that doesn't work I'll have to try changing something with the build environment. Maybe I'm getting bad builds because I'm using wrong gcc version or something.

Are you compiling your own rom from the source for the optimus v?
