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

[Guest Matthew Ferguson]

Hell no, for me with GO launcher and ADW EX before that, it's perfectly smooth, remove the stock ADW launcher.

If you read what he was asking, you'd see he wasn't even talking about the launcher. Yes, it's still slow when doing these things, zhcimon.

You don't need to flash the universal converter if you're already on Gen2, especially with Nightly 41. Just wipe your cache/data, install the ROM and leave it alone.

I gave it a try, just in case.. I'm installing the stable version, not the nightly. Installed, rebboted and stuck on the Logo... I'll try with the nighlty.

[Guest Peter H]

After flashing it three times, trying the Universal converter, i'm still stuck on the operator logo.

Nothing can falsh the CM7 on my finnish gen2 Blade... Now I'm back to the Swedish Spring RLS5.

Anyone having the same issue?

The order you flash in matters - N41 first then the converter. Also check which version of Clockwork you are using. I used an older version than specified and it worked but I believe later ones have a problem.

It never really went away...

It did, I'm on n39 and can get up to a full week of battery life with light use,

and no overnight drain anymore.

1. launcher affects scrolling, CM is not slow in performance, it is on par with 2.2 or a couple milliseconds slow, people wouldn't stick with a sluggish rom. app performance is generally what is important for some, which is faster in CM7.

2. four posts in a row is a bit messy, edit button comes in handy. :)

+1

It went away around RC4, a new install will read battery statistics bad anyway, don't trust the percentage till a couple days atleast :)

1. He was talking about scrolling in apps such as settings and the web browser. Launcher has NOTHING to do with this, so my point still stands. Can't believe I pointed this out and you still didn't get it.

2. Unnecessary criticism much...

Once again, praising RC4... I've always had poor battery in CM7 with recalibration. On every version.

The stable version isn't for Gen2. Just try Nightly 41, it should work :)

Yeah okay... I don't think anyone's gotten this with ANY ROM on the Blade.

I dont know airplane mode and full system sleep it could make 5 days i reckon

Very true :) But he said light use so I'm a lil suspect.

[Guest targetbsp]

Mine is on 2 days 20 hours and 59% battery so I'm on track for that! Only used it for downloading app updates, 1 level of refraction and a few texts the past few days though.

your entitled to your own opinion about launcher.

Never tried recalibtation, im a heavy battery user, and at night lose 1-2% battery with 3G on, i tested a PlayStation app "Fpse" for 5hrs it lasted from 100-5%, i figure that's good performance as 3G is never off and it's hardcore gaming, without using that app, just charge daily like Norm.

I recommend roms when a majority of user's write good experiences about it, yes..

It seems that people have stopped discussing the shut down while charging issue on gen1 final. has this issue been resolved? I'm very happy with cm7 stable and don't really want to go to gen2... but I'd like to know if the issue has been solved. thanks for everyone's hard work. :)

No, it isn't resolved, how could it, Gen1 is "stable" and no further changes to be expected,

which means there will be no correction to ANY problem we are seeing with n39 and below.

So there's no point in "discussing" it.

Although, the workaround do seem to work, at least with N41 on Gen1. If you tick 'Aktiv lassen' (Stay awake) in Einstellungen (Settings) - Anwendungen (Applcation) - Entwicklung (Development), no reboot while charging even overnght.

[Guest Zythus]

Yes, I had the problem with shutdown when charging. I was like omg wtf noob phone. But I used that "converter" for those, which don't want to go GEN2. And with that converter I installed N41. Guess what - no shutdowns :).

Tried that (n39), it did stay responsive while charging, but as soon as I pulled the plug my Blade locked up and rebooted after a minute or so.

[Guest qwertymz]

I'll try the 'stay awake' option, thanks. The reason I'm not willing to GEN2/move up to N41 is that it seems to have re-introduced the GPS bug, which I had with RLS3, and not CM7 Stable. That, and I'm not sure I want to re-flash everything!

Shame there's no solution though. It makes my alarm pretty much unreliable (as there's a change the phone will have switched off during charge).

how often? on N35 i had that happen once, killed all apps,turn off 3g, plugged in charger then it reboot instantly, that is the only time, more common was a lockscreen freeze when turn on screen while on charge, happens 1-3 times a week, N25 didn't reboot on charge either.

something must be different between our apps/settings or nightly that caused this?

anyone else on N35 and gets a reboot charge issue?

Try N41 with k_k's universal converter CM7 universal converter. No GPS bug there.

That's on the separate thread so keep that separate from this thread preferably as we'll only be muddying the waters here.... :)

Hmm it seems users are also getting GPS related reboots on CM7 on the Motorola Defy. It's an unofficial port but you know...just thought it worth mentioning. No charging shutdowns for me on the Defy one though.
