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

[Guest fonix232]

The Hungarian Spica Community have been very hard at work translating all the CM apps and there are community teams for most of the other languages too. I believe when CM7 is final it'll be the best ROM for all users no matter what language spoken.

Indeed, but the languages what were included are Google translations, that caused the problems with the merge of theirs.

BUT, there were no translation to hungarian in the case of CM-specific apps (or I could not find any sign, haven't checked GitHub yet). I guess they were GoogleTranslate-ed :(

Maybe is connected...

That's just RGBA_8888 being used instead of the usual RGB_565. Does not affect the Blade as it has been disabled in our phone (this one caused the white-bug in the early builds).

[Guest Maz2011]

Guys, the proximity sensor does work, and if you put "mot.proximity.delay=150" into the build.prop file, it;ll speed up magnificently. It's all on the first page

I'm not complaining but if it's easy and it works why didnt someone just put it into the ROM instead of leaving it hanging in the air?

It's debatable if it works. People have said it does but Tom says it should do nothing.

i cant find the wifi hotspot settings under tethering using nightly 12. This is the first time i'm using cm7, is it just a missing feature or is something wrong with my phone?

[Guest Qwertzycoatl]

Build.prop is in the rom itself before you flash in /system

Or on your phone after flashing in /system

The change is meant to go somewhere in that file.....not sure if it really matters where exactly.

Anyway if Tom reckons its wonky and he's the man to do something about it, hopefully a full fix is in the pipeline...

It must matter because I put it at the end and it was still broken. n12

Im gonna restore back to n8. At least the prox. sensor works without doing anything.

[Guest Rotmann]

Guys, how to set my home screen to turn horizontal? Market is normally turning, home screen not

But - the Mod is great! Great job guys! Everything works for me :( only that home screen

You can install ADW/ADW Ex or LauncherPro/LauncherPro Plus and they rotate, but they seem to be slower on some devices, compared to the gingerbread launcher.

Didn't Tom G say that this setting only works for motorola phones?

Yes he said, but users reported that it works

Guys, maybe its funny for u but.. how to change that proximity delay? Where are build properties? :(

Get super manager from the market (free) or root explorer (not free), find the file build.prop in /system/, copy it to your pc or sd, edit it with a text manager and and put it back. With root explorer you can directly edit it, with super manager you can't, you have to copy it. Or edit it in the ROM zip before flashing.

i cant find the wifi hotspot settings under tethering using nightly 12. This is the first time i'm using cm7, is it just a missing feature or is something wrong with my phone?

Use search in this topic, a work-around has been provided.

you have to use an external app, look a few pages back for a solution or use barnacle

[Guest _amano]

Hotspot tethering is currently disabled in CM7 and the settings are hidden.

@Victor:

*Looking at the proximity bug, Tom G stated that he was working towards a more comprehensive fix and that the current one was just a workaround that didn't cover ALL usecases. Thus I would change [FIXED]Proximity Sensor --> [iMPROVED] Temporary proximity sensor workaround

*Spelling error: "Also, take a peek at the General CyanogenMod cahngelog to see ..."

*Remove from the broken issues: "Data connection established when turning wifi off"

Perhaps add: "Still some remaining proximity sensor usecases left (just partially fixed)"

*"BATTERY LIFE IS FIXED!" is probably too "much". "Some battery drainage improvements:" would probably be much closer to reality.

I hope that you had a great birthday!

[Guest t0mm13b]

Can anyone confirm this - have experienced the following

1. Download the Nightly 12 ROM via ROM Manager
   
2. Then prompted to wipe cache and reboot
   
3. Note: At this stage handset is plugged in for charging
   
4. Recovery clockwork fires up and starts doing the magic on the installation
   
5. Android Robot stays on screen and appears "locked up"
   
6. Unplug the cable, the handset vibrates and reboots then boots up normally :(
   

Then the CM7 ROM 12 appears....

[Guest fredewis]

about the tethering barnacle doesn't seem to work.......

[Guest t0mm13b]

Another query: In settings > Cyanogenmod settings > Performance Settings > CompCache RAM Usage - nothing is selected? Is that right? Despite the setting saying 18% (Default)?

[Guest gladiamos]

It don't work for me too

about the tethering barnacle doesn't seem to work.......

Barnacle Wifi is working very well in CM7 N12 for me

How you get wifi-tethering (mobile hotspot) on CM7 ...

1.) You need the "hostapd"-binary from any 2.2-rom (for the zte blade) - it's located in /system/bin (extract it from a update-zip-file).

2.) Now copy the hostapd-binary to /system/bin

CODE

adb remount

adb push hostapd /system/bin/.

adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/hostapd

3.) Install wifi/wireless-tether from the google-code page - I recommend the latest experimental version (version 3):

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

This version comes with/supports a toggle-widget, infrastructure/master-mode, wpa-encryption, access-control ... and other useful stuff like mss clamping ...

IT'S NOT AD-HOC!

CODE

adb install wifi_tether_v3_0-pre5.apk

I'm sure it will be integrated into CM7 soon ... but in the meantime ...

Happy Tethering!

what would i do if iam using terminal emulator on phone since adb is a nono on my laptop.

Barnacle may not work but I knew I'd read a solution on here somewhere - really couldn't find it though...

It was on the old CM6/CM7 thread - harry_m described it / thunk it up a couple of weeks back clever soul that he is

@Victor - maybe worth linking to this in post 2? (I hasten to add, I've not tested this yet - if anyone has, perhaps they can comment?)

EDIT - ahh - you found it yourself

The music app isn't switching between tracks when I hold down the volume key (screen off)

Can anyone else confirm this as a problem?

[Guest nunoar]

proximity doesnt work... i guess im gonna get back 2 jjrls9

anyway its good but the proximity makes me angry

I'm about to do the same. It works but it's buggy as hell and it's very annoying.

[Guest hc_1540]

I find that it seems to work inasmuch as following a call, if I take the phone away from my head and find it hasn't woken (the norm, in spite of having edited build.prop as per directions) covering the proximity sensor then uncovering it wakes the phone

My question is, why does it do this when I trigger the sensory a second time, but not the first time? (why doesn't this wake it when I first take it from my ear?)

Anyway if Tom reckons its wonky and he's the man to do something about it, hopefully a full fix is in the pipeline...

I've found the same in that randomly covering the screen seems to wake the phone (I've tried the build prop fix) although I can't replicate this every time. Can you tell me exactly where the proximity sensor is on the Blade?

[Guest doubleluckstur]

It don't work for me too

Barnacle Wifi is working very well in CM7 N12 for me

Yeh can we update the first and second posts please? Im sorry but I am not updating to nightly 11 because prox. sensor is broken and basically nothings changed since n8. n8 ftw :(

[Guest MYK-IT]

I was on RC7 Build 4 (stayed on this as I wasn't happy with Build 6, and I wanted a breather from changing the ROM daily!) until this morning, when I decided to install RC7 Build 12.

WOW, much noticeable improvement in performance etc.

I can also confirm that Barnacle Wifi Tether works fine (been using since Orange ROM upwards)

(Also pleased that Mr Number blocker now works great on 2.3 :( )
