[DEV] - CyanogenMod - 7.1.0 {2.3.7} - 400/500 Only

3 Attachment(s)

This is a DEV thread so I expect valuable feedback. The process is the same install LK, flash recovery and install the rom

CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.7
CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1

I'm including my original recovery here as well since the button's on cmw based recovery don't respond properly at times. Also it does not charge the phone. Most of you think the charging is done via hardware which is completely wrong.

ACL recovery

Let the shenanigans begin !!!

Re: [DEV] - CyanogenMod -- -- -- TBA

Still compiling a list of what is working and what is not.

Notification LED doesn't notify, but just outputs whether your phone is in sleep (green) or active (orange). This is to debug the sleep status.
Light sensor and auto-backlight Fully working
Proximity sensor Fully Working
Wifi will not connect to WEP, only WPA or unencrypted.
Bluetooth is now working but needs more testing. (all i tested was file transfers)
3.5mm headset jack Not working.
extUSB headset jack Needs testing.
Location Not working and needs some love.
Battery level reading is pretty inaccurate, best around 50% and least accurate at the extremes. If you find yourself with a dead battery, just plug in the charger and let it sit there. THe light will not turn on green on its own so you will need to remove it from the charger and boot to see the status of the charge.
Stylus removal/insertion sensor is completely not working.
TV Out is completely not working.
Zoom Bar is completely not working.
Tethering Needs testing i suppose.
Speakerphone mute button on back doesn't do anything.
Special keyboard keys : Any volunteers to fix this?
Internal memory : fully working
USB Mass Storage : fully working
Shutdown : fully working
Reboot : fully working (including rebooting into recovery and bootloader)
Video playback works for low resolutions, but high resolutions such as Youtube HQ have only audio. This can be alleviated with highlandsun's experimental codecs.
Button Lights : Currently they work when light sensor detects a change. Not sure how they are actually supposed to work.
TS calibration : Currently its done automatically but no way of calibrating the points. Looking into calibration apps to use.
Overclock : Set cpu supported by the kernel.
CDMA DATA : working and ability to have the world phone [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]menu[/COLOR][/COLOR]. GSM mode not supported at the moment. Will fix soon.
Camera : not working

ELECTRIC SEX!

Clockworkmod seems to take a few minutes to get the menus working, but they showed up eventually. Reboot into recovery works nicely. Don't know if that is of any importance, but info either way. Gettin in to CWM with LK is a little tough for me for some reason. It didn't seem to have any ill effects on my current nand build though, and I mounted the usb to send CM7.1 over. AWSOME job guys! Now as soon as this menu loads so I can flash, I'll give you info on the rom.

EDIT 1: DOH, Send key instead of End key. My Bad number 1. What is the proper way to boot into Recovery?

good question. As soon as you see the welcome to poopy text, hold down the power button (top) and dont let go until you see it tell you "power button was pressed" then it will go into recovery. Once you have a rom installed, you can simply boot into recovery from the rom itself. When you hold down the powerbutton you are give options (recovery, bootloader and shutdown).

ppcg is going on and off for me so hopefully this post makes it through :bigsmurf:

Not sure what you mean. I'm talking about a cold boot with the charger plugged in.

11-06-2011 01:58 PM

If the charging isn't controlled by hardware that seemed like a good reason why mass storage didn't work in other builds. Similar to remapping the hard keys and 3.5 Jack along with the USB dongle situation.

Sound not working for me. Did a fresh install twice, using new recovery from OMGB. Sound seems to come from "ear speaker" instead of speaker phone(it just crackles).

The mass storage issue on HaRET was mainly because we were running everything off of the SD card, and that's all Android knew. That's how I understood it at least.

On a testing note, I've installed this and am subsequently reinstalling it. ACL - while LK still has the problems I've always had with it - mainly fastboot not wanting to work correctly so I can flash recovery, and then actually booting into recovery - the latter of which is usually solved by making it back into fastboot, then fastboot boot recovery.img... boom. So nothing changed there - but all the buttons are working correctly for me in CWM! Unlike the other recovery (stock AOSP I think you said) where the front buttons rarely ever worked for me - I always had to use the enter key on the keyboard. Now end call and send call are working, every single time I've made it into recovery.

But, it wasn't very rosy once I made it into CM7. It seemed a little slow flipping around the menus, but I hadn't done anything to it. Evidently the built-in overclock features don't work, so I went to the Market and got Titanium Backup in order to restore everything. That went off pretty easily, but then nothing seemed to work again... Literally. The launcher wouldn't even open the app drawer, it would FC. I looked at logcat, and I saw a bunch of anr's, and /data/anr/traces.txt files - just crap crashing over and over. Perhaps something with my backup... but I was also thinking maybe it was the gapps update I flashed? I noticed this is 2.3.7, but the gapps package was for 2.3.5.

I'm going to reflash just CM7 and go from there. Perhaps I won't be able to restore my backups thru TB...

Edit - poop. No Market w/o gapps. What was I thinking, lol. I shall try to shoehorn in a new Market, see if it works...

Yea, there's something really off. I'm going to go back to OMGB for the time being - CM kept freezing up on me, no matter what I was doing. Perhaps it was something with the light sensor, although that seemed to be adjusting quite well.... Hum.

On a positive note, I believe if we can get this build working properly, it should be the basis of all future development. This is what the TP2 should have been from day one IMHO.

Re: [DEV] - CyanogenMod - 7.1.0 {2.3.7} - 400/500 Only

Haha, i step out this afternoon and come back to all these replies. The only issue that really worries me is the sound for now. I'll look into that and see why my build is different. I may have missed something which always happens when you try to debug. Also im surprised thats all considering this is the first round of many.

As for the LS and Prox. Well cm has a different way of dealing with all that. Actually i think you can even turn it off in the settings so i havent gone too deep into it. It would be hard to believe it's broken since it works on omgb which is almost pure aosp. I am however working on improving the LS a little more. The issue is that it takes a good amount of light to actually brighten the screen. No problem, we can adjust some values right? wrong because lets say you turn off the lights and you want to just browse something on the phone, the screen will blind you if we change the values too much.

So the key is to find a happy medium. Almost all kernel updates from me lately have some sort of LS adjustment. I'll know when to stop when everyone no longer complains about it .. lol

FYI apn won't "show/save" after saving, hence no mms both cm7 and omgb

Also using any value on sdbooster for me = black screen of death(on sleep)...have to pull out battery(both cm7 and omgb). Staying with stock value 128 running like a champ(omgb)

adb into the phone. do a logcat and run thatever is crashing. See what the logcat says. If it kills adb, then just copy and past the last thing you see.

Do the same for kernel but this is tricky. Adb into the phone and type "cat /proc/kmsg" This will show you the dmesg as it runs. THen crash the phone again with the app and see whats the last thing.

Well here's a dmesg, logcat and logcat radio I threw together after playing sound, crashing the market and crashing launcherpro. May be of use so here ya go. I've had plenty of failed unblanks with SCREEN_STATE: error: com.android.internal.telephony.CommandException: RADIO_NOT_AVAILABLE, but no soft reboots or crashed system server yet... I dont think. Probably cause I dont have service on this phone now.

Also, I see this after LauncherPro crashes
E/ActivityManager( 1075): ANR in android.process.acore (com.fede.launcher/.Launcher)
E/ActivityManager( 1075): Reason: keyDispatchingTimedOut

and I noticed the hard keyboard d=pad keys are off, and FN key doesnt seem to work. Not sure if this is related to the same theoretical "keys".

Edit - I'll check it out and post some logs if he doesn't. I'm not on CM, I jumped ship back to OMGB... Evidently it fails on both tho.

On another note installing the minimal gapps (that i posted on omgb thread) on cm7 no fc's, no sluggishness,no fail to wake issues(turned off auto brightness) running upto par with omgb or maybe better, dont know might be a placebo effect. Only thing from keeping me running cm7 is for lack of sound on speakerphone, i do like the sound volume on ear speaker, really loud!

This is looking really good, I had problem booting into android on the latest OMGB, so i had given up.

so far been using for couple of hours.
-After market fix, no fc (change language to english(us))
-USB thetering works great (using PDAnet from market)

issues so far
-Used the custom shortcut trick to get to WifiHotspot (ap), but would not start.
-No sound at all during calls
-Sound only comes from external speaker, and the volume is very low

looks promising!

Great job

11-10-2011 02:05 PM

Could the sound problem be an audiopara file? Can I just switch it with omgb and be good?

Unlikely based on the title of the thread.

The pattern I've seen is:

[DEV] - first round, for the hardcore testers.
[TESTING] - most of the really nasty bits have been worked out, but there are some lurking and still some significant deficiencies.
[BUILD] - ready for the masses to run/test, at this point they are trying to uncover the bugs that only get found with large scale testing.

I've run FRX7.1 for over two months and it's plenty stable for every day use.

IMO, A smooth running cyanogenmod7 on ANY gb kernel would be capable of thrashing any flavor of Android. I know it runs with the jitters and much is broken, but I would take the 100mb or less CM7 over a 200mb ISC build any day. I still check this thread daily. Every time something is almost done, someone else decides to start all over with newer builds. We never got one that fully worked in the first place. Maybe 12 people frequent this site these days, but 2 years later I've gotten a new phone as most others have, and was STILL psych'd as all hell to see this build show up. You CAN make it smooth, and if you make it stable, it'll be the choice for anyone looking to re-create their old TP2. I know newer kernels run newer components/code, but look in any other forum and you'll see which rom wins all. Even Miui (not a fan, but some are) is built off CM.

Dont give up now buddy. Wistilt2, Jonpry, emwe, bzo, d3tule, Wozzer, 95-civic, arrrghhh, rpierce99 and all the ones i've forgotten. You've started it out and kept it going after months on the back burner. I watch you. I see you. I troll you. I would miss you. I'm sexy and I know it. "You cannn dooiitttt".

My vote: CM7.1 -> Never give up. Never surrender.

I'm still kickin' the TP2 for my daily use, and at the moment I'm using 7.1 off the SD and it runs pretty dang well. While that might not be the ultimate goal of getting things to run off NAND and all, it still is well capable and better imo than WM. The other guys I work with are floored when I show them my phone.

ICS or CM, I'll punt like I normally do and say whatever ACL and the others who are doing the actual heavy lifting of these projects think is ultimately the best route to take. ICS might be bigger bragging rights to get running, however it's done....? :>

Choices?

Between OMGB, CM7 and ICS ... I'm going to be selfish and vote for the most responsive phone experience (OMGB ?).

However, if ICS is what it takes to keep you interested in supporting the device, I'd rather have you go down that path than risk being abandoned.
