ARCHIVED: [ROM][WIP] Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) - 8/19/2011

[hamagc]

ath3nos, I've got four open issues right now... none of them are major. Barring any other significant bug reports, this is probably as good as it's going to get for right now. Eventually I'd like to get the audio (volume, postprocessing) and FM radio stuff sorted out, but the features I use on a regular basis are all working, so.

Can someone please open an issue if there are still BT audio (or other repeatable) problems? Thanks.

Also I'm still looking for the APN config info for the Optimus U, M, and C. Actually a zip (not a filesystem image) of the stock system FS for those phones would be killer.

Bt phone issues unless you got those fixed already. Once a new update is posted I can get logs.

Less hassle with Google voice. I've come to terms with this and just use it as it always works with Android...

I flashed this last night. It does seem to rock. Very smooth and clean response. I have noticed a slightly higher battery drain then aosp. My battery info claims cell standby as the culprit. 49% of battery usage and 48% time without signal. Now I am working at a new jobsite this week and signal is not great bit aosp seemed to handle weak signal better. Either way this is so much better then any froyo rom I have used. I do have all the same apps and services as before ln the phone so I feel this is a fairly good judge. Thanks again to both ath3nos and blarf.

With your current build:

What doesn't work with BT? Music playback? Calls? File transfers? Or?

Does wired headset audio work (calls, mic, and music)?

If someone wants to buy me a BT headset, that'd make testing a lot quicker. The only thing I use BT for is a serial adapter for my car.

The most common Bluetooth issue is that headsets will work for media but when a call comes in audio is lost. I don't use Bluetooth but I can only assume this what he means. It seems to be a common issue with cm7 Rome on the optiS.

Am i the only one who cannot get the visual voicemail to work? I migrated the apk, changed permissions, then reboot. Then restored data via titanium backup. It downloads the current vms but doesn't update. I get the txt messages tho...

I can't get it working either. I've always been able to with different roms until now using the same method you use. I get the message but it says "unable to play" when I click on it.

Yeah. That's where I am trying to learn my way around. I am not sure which things were changed in the framework. And as far as propritery stuff goes, I have no idea what would clobber it. It's all new to me still. I have a basic understanding, but not enough yet to know exactly where I need to make the changes. A lot of stuff to look through, lol.

Use github to pick out the commits I made. The graph will indicate where I've merged, or you can just look through the commit list. I think I've only made two commits to the base framework (audio and VM MMS).

The build config files in vendor/cyanogen will have to be worked over for the stock AOSP build. CM (and probably AOSP) include open source versions of things like the radio library and the lights library... neither of which work as well as the tweaked by LG versions. Stuff like that shouldn't be too bad, as I think the stock AOSP stuff already has the appropriate hooks.

But... I like CM7 better for a number of reasons so that's where my energy is focused.

how do you get the the logcat and dmesg output. i can see if i can get it.

You'll need the Android SDK (specifically the adb tool). Logcat (which is run via adb) just prints out the system log. If you leave it running there may be some clues when the phone reboots. OTOH dmesg prints out stuff from the kernel. Unsure if there'll be anything worthwhile, but there's no easy way that I know of to have it running in the background like logcat.

I can't get it working either. I've always been able to with different roms until now using the same method you use. I get the message but it says "unable to play" when I click on it.

See if you can get some logs from when the visual VM fails, and I /might/ be able to help. Otherwise this is probably best left to someone who uses Sprint and an OS... unless the visual voicemail is something standardized across different carriers.

Afaik everything other than calls work for bt. It has never worked for us on gb. Headset I think had a mute issue that was fixed already.

Also how do you like the obdii adapter? I've been wanting to get one.

I'll see what I can do with this tonight....and report back as soon as I can

It's actually not an OBD2 adapter. It's just a serial port adapter. At some point I'll hack something up for MegaSquirt, and in the long-run for the OE fuel injection on my car.

I guess it's sort of nice because it feels like a tablet in a way and I like the landscape lockscreen.
So Far:
-Forced Landscape
-Keyboard Broken
-Camera Preview is good although the camera app does not respond at all. (video/focus/capture)

The forced landscape orientation was actually a bug in CM7, and I've backed out that commit.

Coming from Zefie's to this, I just wiped dalvic and cache. Everything seems to have worked. Definitely seems more smooth and faster! Great work! I'll post any problems I have as I actually use it more.

Great! Maybe you can explain what this error means?

host C: libcrypto_static <= external/openssl/crypto/ebcdic.c
bootable/recovery/dedupe/dedupe.c:3:25: fatal error: openssl/md5.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/dedupe_intermediates/dedupe.o] Error 1

Looking further into the issue it looks like a recent change upstream broke something again. I changed it to an older (stable) source snapshot and now the issue is resolved. I won't be needing the recovery anyway.

EDIT:Now the recovery wont build. Trying to find how to omit the recovery completely from the build process.

EDIT 2: I omitted the dedupe.mk line of the Android.mk to bypass building the error and everything else built successfully.

I loaded the build on my phone now Portrait/Landscape both work now, Camera is still "not responding" when I try to select anything on the screen (I fixed it in my previous build I'm just not sure how), Keyboard works now. I did notice something strange with the keyboard. The letters in the top row would long-press for accented letters instead of numbers. So the keyboard only showed half of the normal small numbers on the top row. I went to the language/keyboard settings to check if something was wrong and the default language was "Md (United States)". Md wasn't on the list. I switched it to English and now it works normally.

Really these are minor problems I can correct at a later time. For now I'm satisfied with the build.

I don't know what could be causing issue after issue unless its related to a corrupted sync or compiler.

I can confirm the bt issues are the same as the same in this rom as the other gb versions for our device. The audio from games, music, videos, the web, pandora comes thru with good audio quality but when you make a phone call audio goes blank when you tap the bt button to turn it off the person couldnt hear me while it was on but out of six test calls two of them started off producing a static garbled noise that lasted for about five seconds before it went blank. I use a jawbone icon and works perfect on reborn rom use it allday to talk. didnt know how to post my test or where

Complete noob here. Optimus S came in the mail today. Can anybody link me to every file I will need in order to get this CM7 on my phone

if you can find this thread you can find a thread with the info you want.

Sounds like you've not pulled in all the needed repositories. Start from mine or ath3nos's fork of the android repo. It will build without hacking it up. I'm 90% sure you'll need Linux (64-bit) or OSX, and this won't build on Windows.

I've been running Ubuntu 11.04 x64
Maybe some of the issues are because I'm using the ath3nos fork instead of yours.

I pull directly from blarf's git. My fork is not updated with his newest changes.

Nope looks like he left OpenSSL in the manifest. I'd blow everything away and download again and make sure you're using the gingerbread branch.
