Guest Len Ash Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) I reckon the auto-brightness calibration is off, possibly due to a change in light sensor type on V/X880 and therefore the screen tends to be overly bright at a given ambient level. Similar to the JJ. Burns juice! I'll try the modded framework-res and see if it works/helps/fixes. And HTML5 doesn't work in the stock browser.

Yes, I agree screen is brighter compared to MCRr4 (2.1) and de-crossed (cheque) r0.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwertzycoatl Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi all, I'm currently running r6 and want to upgrade to the latest r7a / r8 when it's released. Can I ugrade without doin a wipe? Will i be able to flash from r6 directly to r7a or do i have to do r6 to r7 to r7a etc I never used r6a by danozl, instead I pulled down the contacts database and added the missing field using sqlite and then pushed it back up. Contacts have worked fine ever since for me. Any info/advice would be much appreciated. Cheers Well, I had to make changes to the contatcs too coming onto R6 and when I updated to R7 everything seemed to go great, except I got FCs on my contacts tab. When I looked it seemed I had no contacts storage app after the R7 upgrade. In the end I wiped and installed from fresh and resynced my contacts. All works beautifully afterwards. Pretty sure Flib mentioned if you had to fix the contatcs then a wipe will be needed..... then again I didn't SQLITE fix mine so I guess you could nandroid and try just an upgrade then you can always restore if needs be ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ficus Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 i still haven't got time to update to r7a (i've been busy these days). tomorrow i will have time to upgrade, but if you tell me that there are chances to have r8 next week, i will wait (to avoid installing apps and setting my phone again and again). of course it's just an indication to know if it's better to upgrade tomorrow or no, there's no prob if the r8 will be delayed.

Guest fmacbris Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 A few people have commented on slow GPS fix. My first fix took longer than on previous roms, I have also noticed that although coarse location works it puts me a couple of miles to the west of where I really am. My previous roms (stock, MCRr4 (2.1) and de-crossed (cheque) r0.2) and a pulse mini all put me at the phone mast 100m from my house. I used the Antennas application and this shows that I am connected to the same mast. If the coarse location passed to the GPS is out by this amount it could also be causing the slow GPS fix problem people are experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jtc42 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 For what it's worth, I have had no real issues with this, except for some messages not sending first time (which, tbh, I think it my network) and the GPS fix being a LITTLE slow. Not really slow, so I wouldnt really call it an issue. Amazing work! Great to see the ROM back and running this well ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len Ash Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yes, I agree screen is brighter compared to MCRr4 (2.1) and de-crossed (cheque) r0.2 I'm having fun and games with APKtools not compiling at the moment, I'm trying to integrate another screen brightness LUT and Frankish's circle mod...

Yeah I'm currently testing some fixes for the GPS as it seems slow to lock in r7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hirsel Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi there, first of all, very cool job with the MOD! It was the first time for me with an android and I used the r6 version with great pleasure. Today I tried to update to r7a as it was mentioned that a wipe was not necassary. Everything worked out fine, but I can't connect to the email anymore. A few investigations have turned out that you the r7a has the email version 2.2.1 onboard, whereas the r6 had the 2.2.2. I think there was a change in between the version affection connectivity with Exchange 2010 and security policies which prevent me now from access the emails. So two points: 1. Was there a reason that you went a version backwards? 2. Could you use the newer 2.2.2 in your next batch or point me in the direction on how I get the new version installed? I tried a few things(copying the apk file from the old release on the phone and installing etc.) but nothing worked so far It would be great if someone could help me! thanks a lot, Hirsel Hi, just for guys who have the same problem, i extractehd the apk file from the r6 and copied that on my phone via adb push and it is now working again! cheers, Hirsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I managed to released r7 with an older app but r8 will contain the email app from 2.2.2 which fully works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaphan58 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hopefully I'll have r8 released in the next day or two. Are there likely to be any major changes?

Guest rutteger Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Just given r7a a try. Very good it is too. Contacts work a treat, facebook and twitter merge. Couple of minor points, ->In the call log the expand/collapse item icon shows as a little monster face. Is this as designed? ->The email client listed as 2.2.1 doesn't work too well using exchane 2007 active sync. Hopefully the move to 2.2.2 will address these, might go back to r6 to give this a try. Out of interest the email client in Paul's r1 ROM was also listed as 2.2.1 yet is somewhat different to this ROMs mail client. What have I missed??

Guest saturnreturn Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Any chance that r8 can include a small change to the "Phone is SIM Network Subset Locked" message to make it something shorter that fits on one line? It just a slight irritation that happens when unlocking, that if you draw the wrong pattern, your finger immediately goes to redraw it properly, but in the meantime the message changes to say "Sorry, try again", which fits on one line and causes the unlock pattern grid to shift up slightly, which can then mean that you draw it wrong a second time, and have to do it a third time!

The application has been updated to 2.2.2 which should work fine. The application in r7 was from Cyanogenmod which has the bug (and not fixed yet I believe). Using the application direct from AOSP should be fine. Edited February 5, 2011 by flibblesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon O Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) r8 uploaded and released on the first page. r7 users can upgrade to r8 without wiping r6 users must have the contacts caller ID fix to upgrade to r8. If you don't then you will have to wipe and install fresh. Any force closes after upgrading - wipe. Backup before installing. (just realised I look like I'm talking to myself with 4 posts...)

Guest Bananazx Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Help needed. I installed the r7a version. It went well. I checked the size and everything and they are fine. It even boots to numlock screen. But when I try to open numlock my problem starts. First comes window saying "Sorry! Process system is not responding" And option is "Force close" or "Wait". If I wait or force close it start popping up more "Sorry!" windows saying "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try again." Option is "Force close". Then there's another window saying "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly". Then there's one last windows saying The Application setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly." When I click force close to everything, it just pops them up again. I can only turn my phone off and nothing else. Need help! D : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
