Guest Vasily Mulukov Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Actually this makes pictures brighter but still way too dark. Usually I don't carry a spotlight with me :P But most important is that battery draining bug ;) You can use Go Dialer instead of standard one, works fine and no battery drain, + nice feature to locate contact name while typing - same as in my wife's Sony Ericsson :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Where exactly do I get to set exposure time? And also did you know you could use the Volume Buttons as camera the shutter button. Mmm I think it's the +xx in the settings when in the Camera app, although this is definitely not related to exposure time, afaik. Btw, I was surprised to see that the zoom had no effect when taking a photo : the result is not the zoomed area but the default view pic (x1)... Is it just me or?... Not that I happen to take photos very often, but well... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sej7278 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 i wrote this little shell script to build the ROM for myself. it may be of of some use. if you have installed the necessary prerequisites, the version of linux should not make a difference. i run this on a gentoo box. note that it assumes that the git repo has been copies to /usr/src/android/cm7 cd /usr/src/android/cm7 repo sync cd device/zte/blade sh unzip-files.sh cd ../../.. . build/envsetup.sh && brunch blade cp out/target/product/blade/update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-Blade-KANG-signed.zip ./cm7-`date +"%Y-%M-%d"`.zip shouldn't that be %m not %M otherwise you'll get minute instead of month why run unzip-files.sh - i don't think that will ever work as there is no blade_update.zip it also assumes that the "repo" in your $path is the android repo command and not linux's one. probably worth running get-rommanager and get-google-files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I dont think the blade camera supports zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I dont think the blade camera supports zoom Haha thanks, that would indeed be a good reason!! ;) As per the exposure setting, it's in the settings menu, on the right of the saturation/constrast one. Oh and it looks like that this setting also doesn't have any impact on the resulting photo, on my device... At least the photo is far darker that what I can see on the screen when taking it.

Usually I don't carry a spotlight with me :P But most important is that battery draining bug ;) The sensor isn't draining the battery! That was all a false alarm. The actual battery drain was fixed ages ago (to do with libaudio). The sensor still reports high usage but is actually harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nudnik_de Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Increasing exposure value helps to make pictures brighter. The key issue is that your exposure value gets lost everytime you exit the camera app and it's reset to 0 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual battery drain was fixed ages ago (to do with libaudio). The sensor still reports high usage but is actually harmless. Okay, good to know. But I can't explain myself how I get a 8% battery drain in one hour after I received a call and a 1% drain in two hours after a reboot? Can't imagine I'm the only one who's experiencing that. But thanks for GoDialer, I'll try that one. And I didn't know that you could take a picture with the volume button, that well ease up self portraits ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On new versions? I haven't experienced that since it was fixed. Mine you even before it was fixed I was only looking at 3% an hour after a call so maybe you have something else going on there...

Guest _amano Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Now the big question is: Does N102 bring back USB Tethering or did Tom_G remove its support from the kernel?

Guest MidaMilunk Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) The only two bugs that bother me never seem to get fixed :P It's that battery draining sensor after calls and the dark camera image. Are there any fixes yet I could add? Because all in all CyanogenMod is now a really stable and good working ROM, even for non-geeks. But with this bugs I can't afford to recommend this ROM to elder people... :D I have never seen the battery drain after call... Even when most of the people have suffered of this. Do not know why, but does not mind at all! ;) Anyway my Blade just eats the battery during phone calls! Five minute call may eat some 5%. Between calls, I do not have any problem, at least if I disable mobile data. Mobile data also eats a lot. Use camera360. I basicly agree, but for me the GPS reboots are the most annoying bug! Although it can be 90% cured with KK's fix. Edited June 15, 2011 by MidaMilunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simonckenyon Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Why do you have unzip-files.sh in the script? to get any necessary binary files which are not created as part of the build. there are about 20-30 of them. i re-run it to make sure that the build catches any changes that result from the "repo sync".

Guest simonckenyon Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 shouldn't that be %m not %M otherwise you'll get minute instead of month why run unzip-files.sh - i don't think that will ever work as there is no blade_update.zip it also assumes that the "repo" in your $path is the android repo command and not linux's one. probably worth running get-rommanager and get-google-files correct about the %m - damn, i read the date man page twice to make sure i got it correct - and even then i got it wrong :-( in my case the repo is in my path - but good point as for get-rommanager - i did that once - do i need to do it every time? i suppose i do thinking about it. i was not aware of get-google-files but now that i read it, i don't think i want to do that i alway install the google apps separately thanks for the tips!

Guest mitchde Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) On N102 I have a lot of reboots then on N100 while launching app that use GPS ;) Thanks sharing that info. I stay with NB 100 - i have no reboots, even without the install of gps_fix. With NB 88 (and around) i had massive reboots, even with gps_fix. I always did complete wipe (including /system format + Davic cache clean). wreid that some nigthies make massive GPS problems, even if there is no code changes in GPS code parts?! There must be some unknown sideeffect (code changes in other code sections) between NB codes belong to GPS reboot or not.

There must be some unknown sideeffect (code changes in other code sections) between NB codes belong to GPS reboot or not. N88 had old kernel , N100 has updated kernel which fights the wrong temperature reading (resulting in fewer/none reboots when using gps(which causes loads of heat)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
