In case anyone is interested I have cooked some CM7.1.0 themes at the UOT kitchen to simply add circle battery icons on top of the standard Androidian theme. Download them from here. These add the same icons with the same colours as made previously for GSF.

Yes! Nice!  I always use your circle mod on GSF - good work compiling it for CM7.

I was thinking the same, but the thing is I AM on a 160mb partition.. wbaw's 7 or 7a partition layout, I forget which was 160mb.

Have you done a df in Terminal to see how much space you have used in /system ? or if you are out of space in any other directories..

I don't get it. I have 2 blades and both of them do the same

Upgrade from nightly 210 to stable and the battery doesn't last 1 day (with no use). The phone is not sleeping UNLESS I enable airplane mode. Once it's enabled, phone sleeps (pressing the 3 hard keys don't wake up the screen / spare parts shows low running percentage).

I've tried wiping and formating everything, installing 7.1 without any app (and without gapps) and just enter the sim code. Both phones don't suspend like they should.

solution: revert to nightly 210 or older...

md5sum's are ok, TPT v9



Am I the only one?

i've never had problems before and i do some rom's based on this one for zte racer, all of them have the same problem...

Maybe it is some app doing that ?

I am on 221 (same as 7.1.0), and in 12H I was still with 87% of battery, having played a game (10min or so) and, some wifi .

Ok just noticed that screen auto dimming is not working. It tends to blast out at max brightness, even in a dark room. Using 220+. Even turning on CM7's brightness override does nothing.

I have a blade V880 (256 RAM, China unicom), using the firmware from sej7278, subjectively his firmware a little faster than the nightly build from Tom G. Within 20 days using firmware "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Blade-KANG-2635p7-signed", CPU overclocked to 710 MHz, uptime on this firmware for 17 days,everything is working stable. Now use the "update-cm-7.1.0-n220plus-KANG". Personally i think "KANG" the best firmware for this model (V880). Thank you very much sej7278! A small request, if possible, put online your firmware for public access. Have fun

You need to configure it under 'edit other levels'.  Personally I've configured it how I want.  But there is a generic layout that's been linked a few times through this thread.  Hopefully someone can link it for you again.  Also, tick 'allow light decrease'

It's the same source.   Just with some as yet unreleased patches added to it.  It's possible it previews upcoming speed improvements.  P7 certainly did vs N179 which was out at the time.  But then P7 became N206

These can be made yourself at the UOT kitchen website. You can also change colour there.

I have been holding off cm7 becouse the battery life used to be kinda bad.
But this week i decided to switch becous gfs isnt being developed anymore, and i read that cm7 battery life been much approved.
Im now running cm7.1.0 and i havnt had any issues this far.

I have a tip for the people that want to impove thier batterylife even move.
use:
http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=739530

it switches your data connection to 2g when the screen has been off for some time, it results in much better battery life.

Does anyone have a clue why Backup / Restore of desktop settings in CM ADW launcher does not work? I try internal CM and market version of ADW launcher and i can confirm that restoring desktop configuration is not working. Also, renaming of desktop shortcut is forgotten after reboot in CM ADW (in market version works). Don't know for others, but in case when you have a lot icons on desktop this really is life saver after full wipe. I'm quite happy with ADW, really so i don't wanna switch launcher and setting it over and over from scratch is kind of ... really annoying I know you all knows what i mean I write this because when i use SS5 by kalltkaffe, same market version of ADW was ok and was able to backup / restore ADW and Desktop settings, but in CM this is somehow not working anymore. And let's clear: CM is the best (i use 7.1), but this is really annoying

I use ADW.EX and I find the successfulness off it's ability to restore previous setups fairly random in any rom.  Don't know about renaming shortcuts. I don't have any. Let alone any I've renamed.

Alright after much fiddling, these are the settings necessary to have auto-brightness working correctly.

I noticed this is a long-standing problem.  It is kinda disappointing that it doesn't work 'out of the box' but hey..

LED notifications work with SMS Popup
You can change the colour used under Cm Settings -> Interface -> Led Notifications.  You can set it for various apps and for missed calls.  Note that I've not actually tried doing this yet though.

I presume the working notification are on sej's rom rather than the Stable 7.1.0 rom? I'm on the official 7.1.0 ROM and no notifications work. Having trawled through these pages, I think that the fix will be included in a nightly soon. Does anyone know if there is a simple way of being notified when that have been included?

I might just flash sej's rom instead of using the official one as I'm missing the led notifications.

On a different matter, a couple of times after I have rebooted, the phone freezes completely (with the screen on) for minutes, the only fix is to take out the battery? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, or how I could track it down?

Thanks,

Jim

Settings -> Cm Settings -> Display -> Auto Backlight. Tick 'Use custom' and 'allow light decrease' then hit edit other levels.  Set the number of levels (bottom button) to how many rows there are in the spreadsheet, copy in the numbers from the spreadsheet and hit save and apply.

TomG did ask a week or 2 back if users here thought the defaults should be changed to those but he didn't get much feedback from us.   During the early days they kept trying to find defaults but couldn't find a set that left everyone happy so they pretty much left it up to us to configure ourselves.

They are brightness ranges that you need to tweak in CyanogenMod Settings:

Menu...Settings...SyanogenMod settings...Display...Automatic Backlight...
- make sure there is a tick in "Use Custom" and "Allow light decrease"
- then click Edit other levels...
- scroll down to "Set number of levels" and change it to 10.
- then for each of the ranges in the other post set the Lower number (the Upper will auto calculate as you add levels) and the desired Screen brightness level
- If you put a value of 255 for Buttons then the hard buttons will be lit as well (use 255 for first 2 levels, 0 for rest)

My own levels are:
Lower-Upper = Screen
0-9 = 20
10-19 = 35
20-49 = 50
50-99 = 70
100-199 = 90
200-499 = 110
500-999 = 140
1000-2999 = 190
3000-4999 = 230
5000-infinity = 255

Enjoy!

These settings are definitely better for me. A much more natural response to lighting conditions. I wouldn't complain if these were defaults.

Yes, but i don't know why your "Sensor (filtered/ raw)" at the top is showing -1/-1, it should reflect the light levels being sensed!

[Carbonize]

Not sure on that neither. Just checked and it's as expected now.
