Many new releases break the GPS for me. Getting a fix can take 15 minutes - if it is got ever. Restart doesn't help, neither downloading the AGPS info.

I usually apply them as an upgrade, so you can say "no wipe no whine" - but If I need to reinstall the whole stuff, I do not need it I am pretty satisfied with targetbsp's latest.

Anyone saw similar?

There's not much point because that would just be the nightly.

Hi, your "CM7.2 Unofficial September 5th" download doesn't work. Not the one you've crossed over (obviously), but not the Mediafire either.
Could you or someone add them for download, please!

I made a newer build on 1st Oct and must have forgot to update the site! http://www.mediafire...2mm5pdkqex38b1d
The nightly is likely to be even newer though.

I've returned to CM7 from JB since today I found out i got 3.5GB data transffered over limit, which makes 860 eur lol. "Android OS" did this, no idea what happned I've always had 400 mb max. I have zero custom apps, i only use email gps calendar and gtalk...

But i miss soft buttons so much is there any way of getting them, flashable zip would be nice.

[judas1977]

@up
Yeah, that would be nice... i miss it too - after returning to CM7 (because of internet connection bug on CM9/CM10 builds)

[jackal-sk]

CM 7.2 is much more snappier and responsive, I got used to ICS/JB and hadn't noticed this before. Loading time of apps, calendar, phone etc etc is instant.

Battery life with my standard workday usage - gps, emails, gtalk, mp3 is with no exaggeration almost doubled.

But still I miss soft buttons so much I've seen them another modded cm 7.2 rom, I forgot the name, isn't there any way of getting them into nightly builds ? Or perhaps the notification area mini buttons ? I forgot where and how to get them. If anyone knows please say.

[dhoomktoo1]

can someone point me to a list of commonly used blade mods available for CM7 ( center clock, long press back key - kills tasks etc )? i tried XDA / droidd forums without much luck. Thanks in advance

[judas1977]

Long press back key to kill app is built-in functionality

Hi,

I have a ZTE Blade, Gen2. I just flashed a JB Rom and after some problems flashed the official CM7.2 (stable) right over it using CWM. Of course I wiped everything. I never tinkered with any TPT-stuff. Now my touchscreen is unresponsive from time to time. I read something about a kernel fix but I'm not sure if it's already included in 7.2 stable.

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!
Nico

PS: I need this phone to be pretty stable as it's for my girlfriend and she doesn't know anything about flashing..

[Smiff2]

so the last CM7.2 stable is June 2012 approx.. who's used this and the latest nightlies? any major improvements or breakages since the stable? would be very useful to know thanks.
i'm running 7.2 stable on mine and no major issues. want to upgrade another phone from an old CM7.0x build and not sure whether to use stable or nightly. many thanks!

[targetbsp]

I can't even remember what has changed since then.  But I use builds based on the latest nightlies without issue.

Oh there was that USSD bug.  I guess you'd want a nightly to not have that!  See post 14670 onwards

[Smiff2]

thanks cool sounds like latest nightly is way to go. or that CyanMobile mod..

just realised what you mean by USSD bug.. def. don't want family using that, so latest it will be, thanks.

maybe CM7 should put out another stable?

I think they've long since moved onto CM10.  There's never been all that much point in the stables anyway on the blade.  Outside of 7.2 which was fine, I'm pretty sure every previous stable was worse than the nightlies before and after it.

[Smiff2]

cool and all those extras from your page can be applied over older (2012) builds of CM7 without a wipe? or not recommended?

[targetbsp]

Yeah, except for the couple of ICS things obviously, most of them should all go on any CM7 without wipe.  The kernel, I'm less sure how far back it will safely go.  IIRC, it pre-dates 7.2 stable so it should be fine on that and newer.

[Smiff2]

sorry i worded that badly, i meant to update to latest nightly and then your stuff. all without wiping hopefully..
not really clear whether i should use the default kernel or yours (sej's) though?

So you find SmartassV2 better for battery life than Interactive? because with interactive i get superb battery life on last stable.. but then i changed battery at same time. anyone with a Blade from Xmas 2010, seriously consider a new battery from ebay now!

SmartassV2 IS better than Interactive, period. When it comes to kernels, targetbsp like me use the standard config and the only thing different between sejs and targets kernels are the version of wifi which some people prefer to use older versions of.

Personally i just use standard config of latest, it's given me great battery life with all CM7's i've tried.
