i think uk phones are gsm, read it somewhere, that one is for putting them onto sim cards, i need one to get them off, when i go into contacts and try to import from sim card, it says none on there, yet when i have rebooted back to 2.1 they come up automatically, and flb rom aswell.

Sync them to your google account, its much easier because if you decide to use a different sim card then you can access your contacts easily from your google accounts.

Hmmmm!! i think its impossible to port your contacts to your sim on 2.1 :/

[Guest will8578]

Thanks for keeping up the work on this Antonio.

I don't know if this feedback is useful or not, but here goes.

I tested 04/20 for a few hours last night and this morning. On a clean boot, it seems to work fairly well, not as fast as CM6 with the same settings, but close.

But there is some sort of major problem still for me with the gallery app. Any attempt at using it brings the whole system to a standstill, from which it doesn't seem to recover until I reboot.

Having a look at running processes, it seems that there are some media and calendar processes that are continuously "restarting" and never become stable. I don't know what it means, but when it happens, the phone becomes almost unusable.

The battery is used very quickly for me, but maybe that is related to the above mentioned problems.

Yeah, im getting the calender problem too, it keeps appearing in my task manager. Twrock use TasKiller and set it to autokill. This should fix the battery issue.

Thanks for the tip.

However, I'm sticking with CM6 for now. It remains the most stable and feature rich OS I've used so far. But I will keep testing each release of CM7 as those come out.

[Guest Mr Dai]

any one found the touch screen calibration? :)

[Guest jeddy1]

did anyone had this problem?every time in every cm7 i flashed it wasn´t rooted(i wasat terminal emulator but it kept saying permission denied) typing su .the superuser apk it was there in the begin but when i flashed superuser.zip the superuser.apk was not on the screen even typing su was saying permission denied.why? BTW i was using official 2.1 DE update.

do you think that is the problem ? the DE update???

EDIT: also in cm plus i have problems.

EDIT2: i cant even flash FLB-mod (2.1)

so i gues its maybe bec of the DE update.

but what are ur thoughts???

almost bricked my baby :)

but it's working nicely now, just dont try to manually copy the contents of the dta2sd.zip to bin :)

installed cm>dta2sd>gapps, also made sure before every one that sd-ext is mounted

(from almost brick state; official 2.1-hu > amon-ra > flb 1.7 > cmr > cm7)

u8220, 4gb class 2 (!) sandisk microsd

768MB ext2 part, no swap (but a2sd reports 60MB and uses it *scratch head*)

swappiness 30, apps on sd-ext (internal ~28/80MB used)

cache on sd

cpu at ~740 MHz

gallery is slow...

Set MAC address app not working (reports inconsistent MAC, will look into it further)

no idea about cam freeze bug yet

replaced adw with launcher pro (feels a bit faster really)

Market working perfectly

(( compared to flb 1.7 (used in the last 5 months) feels a lot smoother, with minimal amounts of fc, the former caused at least 5 at startup, and 3-10 at every app install in market :/ ))

sometimes gets stuck at "android" at boot but battery removal helps

all-in-all a nice and usable rom imo, Thank you

(looking for a simple gallery and a simple camera app, should be fast and lightweight)

edit: camera not working at all, neither "stock" or FxCamera gives any picture

Reinstall the ROM, this should fix the issue.

Antonio said its a driver problem with the camera, so any alternatives wont work. You should enable SWAP on your phone, this will increase the speed of your phone |^__^

Thanks, missed that post

Swap is enabled btw, i just don't know where is the swap partition or file atm, but i don't really care about that, it works and thats fine for me :)

Hope a fix (another version of the rom?) will be available soon

Download a2sd gui from the android market, it tells where your dalvik cache is stored, set your swappiness, enable a2sd etc etc :)

Hello

With the official 2.1 rom uk June 2010 the system partition is not large enough on our phone, the fat to use another ROM. (thank Totiadrenalin)

Hi.

I've been having problems installing custom roms after having official 2.1 TM UK rom for a while as detailed here.

Does your suggestion just install a ROM that fits those partitions or does it correct the partition sizes so any rom can be installed?

Do you install all of these through clockworkmod or through the dload folder update route?

Thanks

[Guest pedrojaime]

Thanks for the Moboplayer media player tip - its a great program althouh its rather large and give an error when run from SD, although it seems to run smoothly from SD all the same and nice interface! Still trying to decide whether to use Doubletwist or Moboplayer.

Does anyone get Gapps prompting to select and install google apps on every boot of the phone? Freezing 'Google one time Init' for now to try to get rid of this (using Titanium backup). I love this rom, so stable and almost everything works well for me that I haven't flashed the April 20th version yet. Just wondering, do people recommend taskkill over advanced task killer?

Found a good article here:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php...on-memory-usage

on reducing memory usage. If anyone else has more tips (aside from moving Dalvik cache + apps to SD card), would really love to know. Also SD Increase settings do not seem to stick - guess my sdcard does not support higher read-write speed.. How do I know what class SD card I have?

cheers,

Peter

[Guest freakeao]

this rom has already final version? if so anyone knows or has some bugs reported

esta rom ya tiene version definitiva? de ser asi alguien conoce o ha reportado algun error conocido

[Guest pedrojaime]

Official to CyanogenMod7 only (Gnigerbread-based), there are a few bugs (eg camera/video not working) but mostly it is functioning well and almost as fast as Cyanogenmod6 (Froyo-based). I am very pleased with it. It depends if you use your camera a lot, I don't. Don't configure too many screens/transparencies/widgets/animations/live wallpapers or system will run out of memory and will slow down and freeze at times. Pages 22-25 of this thread cover some of the problems people are experiencing with this version. I am very happy with this version though have not tested lates (April 20) release yet.

I'd recommend you make an nandroid backup and upgrade to the April 20th update. The update has increased the battery life on the phone alot compared to the 2nd april release

[Guest jeddy1]

Try the UK update.

i tried also UK update.that wasnt ok also.i flashed TRE update.that fixed everything!

Thanks for your post UTOPY. Your suggestion resolved my partition size problems :-D

[Guest asec]

I'm currently running the April 20th update. It's mostly running okay for me. Except - today my headset stopped working for phone calls.

For some weird reason after a few calls, it went silent. Well. If I tried to call my other phone and rejected the call, I got a busy tone, but no waiting tone, no audio either way during a call. All other sound works as a charm..

Has any of you had any experience with this too?

[Guest totiadrenalin]

Hey!

I create one interesting script, with which you can increase and decrease the memory IO speed.

Install this through recovery mode.

And after the phone boot up, open the terminal and type

sysinfo

With that command you will get some interesting and useful informations.

If you wan't to increase the memory IO buffers speed type

iofix

And if you want to reverse the iofix "implementation" type

ioreverse.

After you implement the iofix, get some SD speedtest tools and test it!

On reboot you will not loose the implementation.

Best regards

TOTI

:mellow:

I Update the script!

[Release Notes]

Fixed some minor bugs when sometime the script does not read the correct values.

This is not some urgent update!
