CM7 Nightly Discussion Thread [Old, please use new thread]

[Guest StevenHarperUK]

Maybe we can encourage people to read the Issues Tracker and also add feedback and detail by linking each one of the known issues on the first page.

• 5mp only shoots Black and White photos link
  
• Random Touchscreen Freezes link
  
• Variable battery draining link
  
• Data connection established when turning wifi off, make sure to check and turn data off after using Wifi
  
• FM Radio may be out for a while link
  
• Apps with libs included within them, Angry Birds for example won't start when installed on the SD card. linkSimply move these apps to the phone for them to work.

So do you mean that 2147483647 is recommended instead of 250? Great news about the garbage collector. Did you only type su and echo 2147483647 > /data/delay in the terminal emulator or did you type the other stuff too?

@People who were successful, please state what you applied, the long or the short version and the 250 or the 2147483647 one?

Personally I used adb from my laptop. I entered all the commands from the first post - namely the big number:

chown compass:compass /data/misc/akmd_set.txt

echo "2147483647" > /data/delay

chown compass:compass /data/delay

No reboot, job done.

Ah, thanks for doing that for me good sir, saves a bit of effort. Good idea, also.

[Guest rayraven]

Do we know if the Apps2Fat issue is blade only or does it affect all cyanogen 7 roms?

[Guest r0by]

Same here, lets see how this baby does. Although i'm desperately looking forward to Nightly 10, NIghtly 8's laggy, as i didn't wipe, I guess, and thus i want Nightly 10 as an excuse to do so.

I did the job. At the moment the battery status is on 85% from yesterday 22.00 (this is 9 hours and no airplane mode, etc.).

On a different subject, I would appreciate it if someone could explain the situation with wifi tethering. I understand its not included atm because it doesn't work yet, but does anyone know how big the fix would have to be and whether anyone is working on it? And should its absence be posted to the bug tracker? I've heard here and there that making it work would require a new kernel. If so, is that being worked on?

I say this because I think wifi hotspot is one of the most useful features of android 2.2+.

[Guest alex1alex2alex3alex4]

For those of you waiting for nightly 10 - bad news, there won't be one !

The good news: nightly 11 is up there now ;-)

I second that... the hotspot feature was a brilliant addition to 2.2+ and very much missed in this rom. I am sure there is already people on this though, I look forward to the results. :huh:

[Guest lordofangels]

if using rom manager, try looking over 3g, then download with wifi or 3g

no, I'm using download links posted on the first side...

[Guest pellen]

Nice, anyone have a clue whats new in n11? :huh:

[Guest rayraven]

^ 2.3.3 for starters i suppose.

[Guest BigD18t]

Downloading 11 now and will flash in a bit.

[Guest siddorr]

no, I'm using download links posted on the first side...

try this: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nigh...mp;device=blade

[Guest Chaz_UK]

I updated via Rom Manager this morning and first thing I checked was the version number. Its 2.3.3.

Lovingcthe development of CM7 so far.

[Guest Victor von Zeppelin]

Battery report after one night with akmd fix... lost 25%. GOD DAMMIT false alarm. All normal measures in place otherwise.

[Guest Maringer]

I did the job. At the moment the battery status is on 85% from yesterday 22.00 (this is 9 hours and no airplane mode, etc.).

That's pretty much exactly the same as my battery drain - this morning, mine was down to 84% from full charged around 9 hours ago.

I haven't applied any akmd2 fixes to my phone so it wouldn't appear that there is much, if any, difference in the battery life.

Hopefully nightly 11 will help out a bit here though I won't have chance to install it until this evening.

Seems to be on another CM7 ROMs, no idea if on all of them.

What workaround did you apply? The 250 or the long one? Did you restart after applying?

[Guest Pakatus]

Seems they fixed the Wifi off - 3G on problem.

Really nice...

Now...i wait the battery usage issue...

Showstopper. :huh:

[Guest SWOriginal]

Showstopper. :huh:

EDIT : Seems my reply didn't send , " not really, use an ext3 partition & simple2ext "

Edited March 2, 2011 by SWOriginal

[Guest Rotmann]

Move it to the phone, where is the problem? If you have more than 20 apps and games format an ext3 primary partition to it, get s2e from the market, enable install onto the ext partition and you're good to go.
