Guest twrock Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Only drawback is that keypad lights will not work, as no compat patch for lights is in that kernel. Thanks. It is working well for me in the Styx rom (after replacing ramdisk). Is the compat patch for lights something you can put back in so that in roms other than UM840 we can have lights? (My question probably shows my ignorance of what it takes to do what you do.) :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jafp Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, I have the same trouble with this rom. I can't play any videos that I take. Some times the camera/videorecorder app doesn't work or crashes after a short time. If i change the video record quality from high to low i do not have this problem, i can play my recorded videos without any problem, i have done some tests and until now it's ok. I tried the solution of desalesouche "the only thing i could find is:in build.ro you write 30000000 instead 10000000 and you can make video hq with camera in ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=10000000 you put instead 30000000 " but for me it didn't work, the camera crashe at high quality. twrock, i hope some day we will have a CM7 rom version from you with some of your magic I think it will have to be this year, since next year you will probably change to another phone, i think i read it somewhere (i hope not).

Guest twrock Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 twrock, i hope some day we will have a CM7 rom version from you with some of your magic I already built it! ;) I called it "Onyx", and I tested it for two days. But I never released it because I had so much trouble with the camera. It's hard to try to support too many different roms, especially the ones I'm not using myself. I keep trying to update to Pier's CM7, but the problems I have are frustrating. BTW, the things I do really are very simple. I believe a lot of people around here could do what I do without much effort.

I was using the CM7 from pier with JIT enables and i never see that green screen, even in the older version's of CM7 i never had that green screen. Only a few days ago i try to disable the JIT in CM7 pier's rom and in the reboot it get stuck, sometimes it reboot ok but the i have that green screens, i though that was happening because i did something wrong. But then i install the CM7 from twrock (thanks one more time for twrock work!!!) and i notice the green screen too. In CM7 twrock rom i enable JIT and until now is working great. About camera, to make video i have to change the quality of video to low and i have no problem. I hope you guys don't give up from CM7 rom, i steel believe that we will have a stable CM7 rom.

JIT is easy to enable in build.prop. Funny though, I installed this rom last night and ran it for a few hours (with JIT disabled), and for the first time I did not have green screens with CM7. :huh: So I don't know what is going on. But I went right back to using Styx. CM7 is definitely slower when using the same settings. Sure, I can boost the CPU speed and improve it, but then I'm going to be using more power. There is always a trade-off. I wish that we had a completely bug-free/stable CM6 or CM7, but there are still a few little problems. :( But if anyone finds Onyx useful, enjoy. :) OT, but I stopped in to an HTC store today. They had just gotten the One V delivered but not unboxed and no demo available to play with yet. I do want to look at that phone. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest doc_relax Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Hello all, you´re so lucky with your camera problems. Meanwhile the "occasional reboot" issue on my 8230 got worse. Therefore I reapeat my question, perhaps someone has an idea on this. Problem: Phone is accidentally rebooting. Funny thing is, this phenomenon (plus the "horizontal lines in cam pics" bug) also appeared some time ago when I was using the CM 6.2 Mod by Tom G (look at ) My questions are: In which way does this 7.2 ROM build up on Tom G´s? Does the 8220 differ from the 8230 in some way? Thanks guys. Edited April 15, 2012 by doc_relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tico1003 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi Twrock, Desalesouche, Pier11 and all, I have installed Onyx ROM on Friday, since I haven finished it seems quite stable it means no green screens, no FCs, camera works nicely even with high quality and top resolution configuration. My conclusion is that definitely is a ROM much more stable than Pier11's which I have tried almost for a month (last march) cause I did like it, triying to sort out all posible combinations and tweaks but eventualy I got defeated. Now with Onyx it seems quite different story and here below my experiences: I have installed the ROM and immediately DarkTremor A2SD 2.7.5.2, after the first boot and after I've restored my contacts I have tried the camera and it got frozen to the point I had to remove the battery to reboot. But I haven't panicked and I continued in my test so after this second foced reboot (in which) I got the unique green screen I started to configure the DT A2SD using some of the tweaks Twrock have suggested for his CM 6.1 version, TXG and Styx. So I went to Terminal and after "su" command I've run "a2sd chachesd" of course my SD is properly formatted. After the command the phone reboots normally without green screen. I did not hurried and I finished with DT just setting the swappiness "a2sd swappy30" and afterwards I have rebooted from terminal typing "reboot". After another normal reboot I went to CM configuration and there move the CPU frequency Max to 614 and Min to 320, cause I have read the bigger CPU range may causes some freezing and FC's. I know I may sacrifying a bit of battery but I don't care if I gain some stability with this ROM. I have check the "Set on boot" option to keep the configuration after any boot. The Compcache and JIT I have leave them both disable. I have set the options "Lock home in memory" and "Lock messaging app in memory". I have rebooted later with Pwr key and option menu. Later I have installed some apps without problems or green screens, I have run several times camera both photos and videos without bugs. For the first time I tried to play a video made by the camera I got a "Cannot play video" but I retried and it was succesful. I have corrected the MAC by using the terminal and typing the code "echo 1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f > /data/misc/wifi/softmac" (of course with my MAC) as suggested by Twrock in his Styx thread. I have my WiFi conection nicely even I have not tried speed yet. As Twrock appointed Onyx ROM is quite minimalist but as of today for me is very stable. I missed in this ROM the Android keyboard which in the original version from Pier11 comes with a nice Spanish dictionary (it's my mother language) ;-) , so for Onyx version I had to install the Spanish pack for TouchPal. Thanks to you all for your hard work! I will come again with more details if something arises. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original keyboard is very easy to return to the rom. Unzip the Onyx rom file. Delete /system/app/Touchpal.apk and /system/lib/libtouchpal.so. Unzip Pier's rom. Find /system/app/LatinIME.apk and copy it to the Onyx rom /system/app. Rezip Onyx rom and install. However, the rom will be larger. Just make sure you have enough space to do it. Regarding "minimalism", I modified this rom similar to the way that I modified dr.flo's CM6. I try to eliminate things I consider bloat as well as make the rom small enough that I can install Chinese IME into the rom. But Onyx is as "featured" as Styx.

No ideas, sorry. Like I said, I don't know much about this rom because I don't use it. I used to get a lot of green screens, then the camera trouble. Both were not a problem with this latest build of Onyx. But no matter what else, CM7 just seems slow to me. Everything reacts slower than with CM6, so there are not enough advantages for me to run CM7 long enough to understand all of the problems. But, I can say that I did not notice the trouble you are describing with Play Store search function. It worked fine for me. I never even tried the screenshot app, so I have no feedback on that. Sorry, but I'm of no real help on this rom. But I hope you and others can get things figured out and fixed. Then maybe I can update to your fixed rom myself. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jafp Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 @twrock about Onyx:nice rom.i have a problem with google play.when i touch the magnifying glass symbol to seek for an app nothing his happening...any idea... i tried to make screenshot whith result of speedtest but fc of screenshot app... i had that problem in the first time i open google play, after a reboot it didn't happen again. Until now i only detect two bugs: - video record at high quality - it crash the app and corrupt the video file, the workaround is change the video record to low quality - rotation - after some time it don't work, i had try several things but it didn't work, the workaround is put the rotation options in the power control widget so i can easily disable and enable the roation. Desalesouche, i pretend to test your tweaks to boost wireless, but until now i didn't have the time. Thanks for sharing those tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
