[ROMS] Latest 2.3.7 cm7.1.0/7.2.0 Racerboy-ROMS


Guest Racerboy

Recommended Posts

Nice job. The little racer is suprisingly capable..

However, I'm seeing Compass Issues - 90deg off (East is showing North), from what I can google, it seems common for the Racer to have compass grief.

Do you have a repo or build process that I can use? I'd like to have a crack at resolving that one - it's probably not a high priority thing, but seems it might be constrained enough that I can use it as a good deep dive point. My main device is an HTC desire (running self built CM kang), but the little racer will get used as a navigation device, or be used in places that might result in its death.

Cheers

Darren

hi Darren, welcome to the forum........The compass issue has been a problem for a while now, for the majority people it does like you say (90 degrees out) very few find it works which i`m baffled by, anyway i dont have a repo, i port them from Blade builds although soon i hope to be building from source (cm7.2.0).......deadlink who is memeber of 4pda team has github where you`ll find sources for the Racer HERE and merge with cm7 sources.........that is all their is regards to source code for Racer....hope you find it helpful

easiest way to activate swap is to just download swapper for root from market( free) and let this do the rest :)

hi, yes the zoom hack works but only in gallery or webpages maybe some games, i find the best way to use it is to press 1 finger in the corner and then slide another finger up or down on the other side of screen, only thing is their is no Haptic Feedback enabled in that kernel..........

Hi Racerboy, thanks for the ROM...

I've been having some troubles that i'd like to report...

I can't use the latest foursquare app downloaded from the market. It crashes when opening. I had to download the previous release from other site; now the foursquare app is working well, except when i try to see the map. If i tap the map button on the explore tab or the map option in the friends menu, it crashes.

Twicca also crashes when taping on the gps button while typing a tweet, so i can't use gps on twicca.

Everything else works fine, using gps on other apps works fine (using it on foursquare too, except when trying to see the map, as explained above).

Hello,

I've installed #257v2 and everything was great except for the lockscreen issue. To fix that I updated to vamshi's kernel 2.6.32.9 #68, after this the lockscreen issue is gonem but now the camera does not work.

The camera on my phone did not work with previous ROMs from RacerBoy (using vamshi's kernel), but it did work with deadlink 's kernel.

copy the attached file to sdcard and install through CWM, then delete cache (mounts and storage) reboot, done........

should work fine you now, only reason it didnt was i used vamshi`s old kernel in the roms and only supported older lib for kernel, now kernel has been updated the updated lib file is used in ALL new roms........

lib_update.zip

NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO APPLY THIS UPDATE FIX ONLY FOR Glock24

Hi guys

Installed this ROM the other day and performance and the screen looks pretty good i got some problems:

*I cant receive calls altrough i can call or send/receive SMS, caller hears busy signal

*The Home button no longer brings me to the home screen, in fact it does nothing other than vibrate

*The phone no longer uses my pattern to unlock, though it is still enabled in the settings. I can press any key (including end) when the screen turns off and it just brings the screen right back up (whichever screen/application I was on last).

*Holding down the Power button no longer gives me the options of Airplain mode . Only reboot screenshot or shutdown are available.

Lockscreen and airplain mode is not a big problem but not receiving calls its too much afterall this is a PHONE

Problem start when i installed rom i think or maybe i configured somthing wrong.

I have been surfing the web for a solution at this point i tried this

Works for me (TMobile MyTouch 3G 3.5mm 1.6)

and this

The new versions of Market do not have a Clear Data button. Here is what I did instead.

Go to Settings, Accounts, Add Account. Add another google account. Don't sync anything. Remove that google account. My lock screen, power options, and Home button started working again. Quick and easy and the best thing is you don't lose your main account. Enjoy!

Needless to say it didnt Work

Please help me

PS: dont know if it matters but im using TMN Softstone (Portuguese version of ZTE Racer)
