[ROM][GEN2]CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.7)

[Guest sej7278]

Hi sej7278,

I've just edited that post as I couldn't find the dchpcd download link when I checked and thought it may have been removed to avoid rogue roms being circulated. Sorry to ask and no offence intended, but I don't know your pedigree within MoDaCo and am not sure of the forum policy on this so do you have (or need) authority to make this widly available? I'll happily provide the file I downloaded if it's permitted.

do you have a link to the post with some explanation as to what it fixes, what rom it came from, how to install it etc? if its gone its gone, its more a matter of interest than actually requiring the fix (i don't need it with my routers).

if you need my pedigree, other than ~400 posts, i've compiled a few roms on here for folks. i would say ask anil but i shouted at him a bit earlier so he's probably not my biggest fan now, sorry anil :unsure:

Hi sej7278, you did shout, but, I deserved it. :( So no problem as far as I'm concerned. :) Anil.

I observe that new Google Maps makes for me wakeup. I see it on SpareParts and on Baterry usage.

TIME TO BREAK OUT THE BUBBLY (Not that I like the stuff) I've done it and can now logon to my BT Homehub 2

Hi Ray-man, excellent news. Nice to wake up this morning and read such a positive post from you. I hope you enjoy using your phone, technology keeps moving forward. and sometimes, even for a techie geek like me, I wish it would pull over, stop, have a cup of tea and watch the world go by. No chance! Keep learning or get left behind.

Anyway have fun, you've earned it.

Anil.

Morning all

I'm still using Sej's N142+

I would like to use the latest nightly and I would be very grateful if sej

would build one with softbuttons

or

teach me how to do it and I will stop bugging you

Thanks alot for your help mate

It is much appreciated

This morning I noticed that my phone started draining battery faster than usual, like 25 percent in 10 hours instead of 5~7 percent. And a quick check reveals that buttons are responsive all the time, meaning that it's kept awake by something. Following google research and checking with "dumpsys power" I think this is the reason:

mLocks.size=1:

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'GpsLocationProvider' activated (minState=0, uid=1000, pid=194)

mPokeLocks.size=1:

poke lock 'PhoneApp': POKE_LOCK_IGNORE_CHEEK_EVENTS

But GPS is disabled in my settings! I only enabled it once to play a bit with GPS Status app yesterday and disabled it again.There is nothing special with this device - stock N148 CM7 ROM, not used much in the last days besides of pure telephony and Google Talk.

Edit: and GPS itself does not work either. I can turn it on and apps attempt to use it but nothing happens. The flashing sat fix icon does not appear in the status bar. I have seen this problem a while ago, rebooting the device fixed helped if I remember correctly.

And I don't see anything GPS related in OS monitor.

i've looked into making a flashable zip to enable it, but there's just too much that could change in framework-res.apk based on other stuff (you could end up missing menu options for new features for example) i also spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to add a checkbox in the tablet tweaks preferences to turn it on or off but there's so many things relying on it being a compile-time flag that i couldn't figure out a way around it, its a poor design really.

if anything interesting comes into gerrit i'll do a build, but at the moment the nightlies are fine, so its not worth hosting a build just for softbuttons.

i've documented what to do to compile a build with it in, even made a patch to enable it, but you'd have to compile cm7 yourself then, which seems extreme just to enable softbuttons.

so bug tom_g to come up with something new or zte to release 2.6.35 kernel and i'll do a custom build then :D

[Guest]

Yes things really quite at the moment.calm before the storm maybe!

I guess CM are waiting for the .35 kernel.

ZTE will release source soon,so happy days for CM7 & GingerStirFry blade

Hi, I admit I'm a technically minded person, but I will also admit to my limitations. Therefore, with talk of ZTE 2.6.35 kernel source to be released soon. What can we, as Cyanogen users, expect from this? I expect notification lights to start working as expected. But that is just good house keeping. Will there be any substantial changes, improvements?

Sorry if this an open ended question, but it seems to me that Cyanogen is 90-95% there already. Or, will the release of the kernel source solve the holy grail? And give users 72 hour battery life? :) I want to be excited. But I don't know why I should.

really? where did you got that information from? and what means "soon"?

i think i would switch to gingerstirfry then (because it will get OC ability quick and is much faster then current CM7) and probably switch back to CM7 after some weeks when they adapted everything for the new kernel

i think we can expect a huge improvement in UI speed as currently the gingerstirfry shows combined with OC for more speed and the tons of CM7 features

but im quiet sure it will take some time for a stable CM7 .35 kernel nightly

Zte will be releasing the skate in september to my knowledge.(anyone correct me if thats wrong)

And Zte will have to release there source,which will give us the .35 kernel.

Not sure what that will mean for the blade,but I would expect some performance improvement,better battery maybe

UI speed? My system UI speed is practically instant, I do run at 787 Mhz, so maybe that is why. Will the UI of other apps run faster too or just the system?

Hi, I've seen a Tweet in the Skate forum from a person at ORANGE UK which states a UK release next week.

wow,so things could be moving forward soon.

I wonder if the honeycombe rom can be further developed with the new kernel ?

[Guest targetbsp]

There's a post somewhere in the main forum from ZTE PR saying source code before the 1st September IIRC.

Also... as the Skate has different hardware... is it's release that useful to us? Surely we're more interested in the source accompanying the new Libra?

Edited August 4, 2011 by targetbsp

[Guest sej7278]

yes looking at it ZTE may have to bring their "by september 1st" promise forwards a bit if the orange monte carlo is released in a week, they may riggle out of it until the skate is released by zte themselves.

between 2.6.32 and 2.6.35 there were many new cpu scheduling improvements, as well as power consumption changes (on regular linux) as well as whatever drivers ZTE have updated themselves.

so like the gingerstirfry roms we should see better speed, overclockability and battery life. as 2.6.35 is the "approved" kernel for android 2.3 it will unlock features like usb tethering and tunnelling.

i wonder if zte will beat around the bush a bit though, as a blade with cm7 running kernel 2.6.35 and android 2.3.5 and a bit of an overclock, is going to be in some regards as good as or better than a skate (obviously not all aspects).

targetbsp - the 2.6.32 kernel source mentions the skate and libra, and the leaked 2.6.35 roms mention the blade (and run on the blade) despite ZTE saying they had no 2.6.35 for the blade. so i suspect they all share binary compatibility (they all have the same cpu/gpu) and looking at the demo version paul has, its little more than a blade with a bigger screen - i suspect the blade was the development platform for the skate - probably why they stuck with arm6.

[Guest targetbsp]

I see the post about 1st september was intended for the Skate and was just in the Blade forum cause we didn't have a Skate one at the time but has since been moved there: http://android.modac...before-sep-1st/

Not sure how useful it's source will be to us Blade users.

[edit in light of sej7278's edit]

Ah good! True that, I kinda forgot about the fact we know they have something working cause we have the leak lol.

That's a good point for those wondering what we'll get with the new source too. Presumably tThe notable features of GSF. Smoother 2d (in games and UI) and the ability to keep your wifi connected whilst sleeping for starters.

A lot of change due in the next nightly, including the faster booting: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6886

ok i'll bite, expect a custom build (with fecking softbuttons) within an hour.

Yay +1 !

[Guest mullen666]

you rule

[Guest sej7278]

n151+

softbuttons enabled, 30 patches from changelog after n151 (should have called it n152+ i guess!)

quicker boot patch knocked 5secs off my boot to 40secs, but i guess most of my apps are on sdcard.

i forgot to run get-rommanager to fetch 4.3.3.0 so had to re-build, re-flash and re-upload, which is why its a bit late sorry (so if you were naughty and started to download early, check your md5sum as i stopped the first upload half way through).

hey anil, i even wiped /cache :P
