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

[Guest]

What Kernel version is CM7 using at the moment and is it as fast as Ginger Stir Fry?

GSF would seem to be faster,but is no comparison to cm7 feature wise.And not forgetting cm7 for blade is still work in progress.

With the .35 kernel from the skate we should see some more improvements.

Cm7 is .32 kernel still I believe

I use nightly 152 and it is very stable. Do not know about n156/n157 but i think they are also stable. Anyone tried?

Do we know a changelog between .32 and .35?

Well flashing GSF after CM7 makes you know what's changed. Battery life is superb so as speed. Wifi bugs are fixed and many things more

Hi Maxsas360, Which GSF build are you using?

Thanks,

Do the latest nightlies have USB host?

[Guest The_Duck]

Hi Ciels, I'm running the latest nightly, N156, and I have no Wi-Fi issues. This morning I tested the Wi-Fi hot spot feature with a new ANDROID tablet, and that worked fine too.

Which version of Cyanogen are you running?

Anil.

I recently purchased an ASUS Transformer and I use my Blade as a WiFi hotspot for it when I am out and about. My problem is actually the opposite, I can't keep WiFi active when the screen turns off.

I have had to set the screen timeout on the blade to 10 mins and remember to wake the screen periodically to ensure it doesn't sleep.

You wanna see battery drain... try running both 3G and WiFi full tilt for a while !! The poor Blade doesn't seem to know what hit it.

Might have to get me one of the high capacity battery packs and use the original as a spare.

Would it be possible to overvolt the CPU so that we can achieve higher clocks? Mine does only 710Mhz. :(

Well I used latest builds. I was satisfied. But CM7 has the features I need and battery life is not a most needed thing so OCing makes it as fast as GSF

I am running n157 and it is stable (14 hours so far).

[Guest Anil k Solanki]

That may be perfect for you, but for others that is a huge bug.

Hi ididmytime, Fortunately I've never had the issue your reporting. Can you provide more info of your set-up. Which version of Cyanogen, type of Wi-Fi network B/G, Network security used. Have you added any apps which have control over network access?

Sounds like you'd be better off with GSF for your usage.

Nope. 710 seems the most common from what I've read anyway. It's hardly 'only'. :)

its a known problem isn't it - there's no way in cm7 to force the wifi to stay on with the screen off, it may reconnect properly these days, but any downloads will drop off.

GSF doesn't have this issue, although personally i don't fancy it, it would mean a wakelock and having to manually turn off wifi all the time.

[Guest appolus]

do you need gapps or is it included?

[Guest sm4tik]

do you need gapps or is it included?

Yes you do, and always will because of licencing issues.

You do suffer from this issue, for me personally, there are three major bugs Blade users are currently experiencing.

Loss of Wifi when device sleeps.

Loss of LED usage when device sleeps.

Improper audio rooting for VOIP apps (eg Skype)

There are also other issues, such as GPS, FM Radio, Wifi Reconnection, Bluetooth connectivity to devices, which all vary depending on the rom/kernel being used.

GSF currently fixes one of these (wifi)

Current kernel CM7 fixes one (audio)

Older kernel CM7 fixes two (audio + LED)

It's not about what rom is better, it's all about what bugs you are willing to accept, and accepting bugs seems to be a habbit of this community. I have a feeling because this device is so cheap that people accept it for what it is. ZTE is budget through and through, there is no denying that considering how poorly built and buggy their roms are, but if these problems existed on high end devices people would not stand for it.

[Guest lordofangels]

No specific Blade fixes/updates in this build.

[Guest reallordx]

hey, since I updated GMail to newest version, cyanogen's dock setting: "unread Gmail count" doesn't work anymore. I'm on an awesomely stable v125ish (cant remember exactly ;)) version, with great battery performance and working fm radio...

Has this unread thing been fixed im some later version?

[Guest Stuart_f]

Not sure it can be "fixed". Google removed the API that it used to get the unread count.

Hide yo kidz. Hide your wives cuz ThermalDroid is double postin here
