Since this is a unofficial nightly thread, here is a unofficial nightly build with the following cherry-pick:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/18631/

I also included a memfree ramdisk patch and my favorite init.d scripts.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nwt0w1de4j6z81v

Must use your own gapps since this is a complete source build I didn't modify the zip at all once it compiled.
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
Thanks! Could you please give a quick description of what your init.d scripts do?
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Sure. It has a sdcard read speed booster to slightly raise the speed of the sdcard to 2mb/s for helping loading times of gallery and other apps that access the sdcard. Also has my more advanced apps2ext. By advanced I mean the 05mountsd script will remove and disbale apps2ext completely by removing the 10apps2sd script if you do not have a sd-ext partition. The 10apps2sd script is what does the apps2ext and the 05mountsd mounts the sd-ext partition.

The scripts can be viewed on gitorious.org

10apps2sd

06sdcardspeed

FAQ

What is apps2ext?

Apps2ext (previously called apps2SD) moved all user installed apps to a secondary ext partition on your sdcard. This method had the advantage of being straight forward and simple, However, it had the drawback of being difficult to set up. This method is no longer officially supported by CyanogenMod. But it is supported in these roms! :-)

Why did I include a apps2ext script to the rom?

The more apps that are installed, the slower our phones can get after time.

Apps2ext takes all of that stress from our internal storage and diverts it to our sd-ext partition if there's any. This results in our phones never have to worry about slowing down just because of the number of apps that we have installed or our internal storage filling up. You need a minimum of a 512mb ext partition for the HTC Evo Shift 4G. Other devices like the G2, HTC Sensation, and Mytouch 4G will need a 1GB ext partition. But don’t get it confused you don’t have to have a ext partition to run this rom, it will run just fine without one, but the option is always there. If you have just partitioned your sdcard, have used some other type of apps2sd, or have never used one of my roms, you’ll need to make sure your sd-ext partition gets wiped/formated in recovery before installing these roms.

i just installed the latest cm7 nightly, and for whatever reason, it cant play videos anymore. youtube, stock video player, flash plugin, etc. just a black screen. the device is still fully functional (not frozen) though. anyone else having these issues?

also using scary kernel, but i've been on it for a while now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Such an old thread. I remember when this was active
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
Bump for old times sake! Who still runs cm7 on the shift?

D3rped out Beastmode! HTC ONE!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I was actually messing with it the other day.

TEAM MiK

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
[EVO Shift 4G General] thronnos:
I went back to it on my shift. I just like how it feels.

HTC ONE! Everything your phone isn't.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
thats what i used to RUN on my speedy so i could use it as a modem for this dinosaur of a PC thats in the room. it was just a kernel machine so the ROM didnt have to be new, just had to work to get me the internet.

the speedy died rocking OMEGA though, so in a way it went out with a Big Bang lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zeropants:
I flashed directly over #31 and had no problems with MMS. Several others on IRC reported not wiping and ran it just fine, so it could just be hit or miss.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sarspants:
Can you elaborate at all? I managed to get titanium to restore data only but had to rely on the market to restore about 90% of my apps and install the rest through the market manually.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sublime1184:
Just flashed #32 last night and I'm really impressed by it. I'm kinda afraid to touch anything now because I went to sleep at 12:30 am with 61% battery and woke up at 5:30 am, still with 61% battery. I always turn data off overnight but to not lose a single percentage is odd for me. It's now close to 8 am and I have 60 % battery after using about 15 mins of web browsing on wifi. This can't be right lol

Anyway, I'm not complaining, I love it. Great job on this toast, it's awesome.
[EVO Shift 4G General] toastcfh:
glad to here things are better. i calmed down all the debugging i had going in 32, so batery life should improve along with other performance. mms DOES need a wipe depending on what apn u have stored in the telephony.db. wimax reconnect should be effecting the shift also. that said im working to fix that for both the evo and the shift. im getting close to a fix there so it wont belong. headset is irritating!!! im working on it also and hope to get it resolved here shortly.

all and all i think were getting close to an RC. i think we could do it now actually but i really want headset working. as i know a few people really want it. so again everyone thanx for the continued support, debugging and feedback. it helps :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
In Ti go into Settings and change apps processing mode to Interactive. Gotta confirm each install and takes a little longer but does restore the data.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
thanks for responding :D

sarspants hope that helps! i haven't used it but some people mention mybackup pro as working, as well
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
thanks for all the work toast. i guess i reboot my phone too much to notice the reconnect bug for wimax.

let us know if there is anything else we can do.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sarspants:
Awesome! Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
I've been using it daily, and update every new release.

Don't use MMS so never missed that, WIMAX is wayyy to overrated and a battery hog, so rarely ever use that.

Headset, on the other hand is annoying. I got a free, 1 yr napster 2 go/mobile subscription and miss my decent headphones. :)

Side note, GPS hasn't ever worked for me with CM7, but if I flash over to a SENSE rom, I get instant locks and multiple sat's and it all works fine. Any suggestions?
[EVO Shift 4G General] toastcfh:
on gps try going into setting and clearing maps data. see if that helps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
smurf - check the 3rd post for a fix for GPS - its worked for 6-7 people now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
Does anyone have the same fn/shift lights staying on problem, in a text field, like the one im typing in right now? It's so annoying
[EVO Shift 4G General] mcarrion78:
We all appreciate the hard work you have put in for us toast. If not for devs like you we'd all be stuck with a stock phone. Not that it was a bad on stock but the ability to have multiple choice on what we would like our devices to be like just seems a lil bit more worth it to me. Plus it gives you devs something to do in ur spare time. So who am i to take that away from you lmao
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
If I have fn lock on while typing in a text field it will stay on after I exit the text field. I'm not sure if that is your issue or if yours is on allll the time? It cuts off when I close the keyboard so it isn't a problem for me.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
Hey toast if you still come on here and see this I was wondering if now that there are updated video drivers if the screen on/off animations would work better and could be turned back on.

I was also wondering if hibernation ever actually made it into CM... I remember cyanogen saying something about it before, and it was a feature I really enjoyed in nfinitefx's latest stock rom. Is it available on any CM devices yet?
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
I actually like GoSMS more than the regular SMS program, so the fix is nice to hear mainly from the standpoint that it's another bug squashed. Hopefully the headset and wimax things are fixed soon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
DL'ed nightly #32 from a freshly wipe. MMS works. I use Handcent to send it. Also receiving MMS is good.

My only problem is Titanium doesn't restore my data apps (even after going to settings-apps-interactive) All that setting did was restore apps, one by one...

CM7 & TB not compatible?

On a side note, Wireless Tether works flawlessly with CM7 (#32)

Thanks to all the Devs that worked on this...

Until the RC......

[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
you mean this:

GPS - Flash back to a sense based rom and get a GPS lock then flash back to cm7 and all should be well.

Been there, done that no less than 3 times now. I've factory reset, wiped, reinstalled, restored, etc. Works fine on Sense roms, nada on CM7.

Again, it's how I know that it works wonderfully well on SENSE roms.

It's not just MAPS, GPS status app, GPS Test app, nothing ever find satellites. Also, on SENSE roms, a GPS indicator shows up, I get nothing like that on CM7.

On the bright side, it's NOT a showstopper for me. I know where I am and where I live and how to get home. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] mcarrion78:
ive tried the restore sense rom fix and it took for me. took a lil while to get a lock the first time after restoring cm7 but after that it locks in just seconds. maybe it's just hit or miss with certain phones. who knows anymore
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
Exact same thing here, on all builds. Very minor problem but it is there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
That's what that setting does. That's the only work around until it gets fixed. Just be glad titanium works.
[EVO Shift 4G General] melficersx:
I am stuck in a boot loop. This is second time with CM7 first with nightly 31, now with 32. Please fix someone..
[EVO Shift 4G General] toastcfh:
ok so i fixed the headset issue last night. also added back the screen off animations and a few other minor changes. looking at the torch app now trying to figure out why it doesnt like our flashlight. either way, we should see a RC here soon. i think the last changes i made fixed most of the issues. i made changes to the ril which seem to improve data and such. anyhow just giving an update on progress.

at the post above did u do a full wipe before flashing? and are u using the latest clockwork recovery from rom manager in the market?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
I saw that and am anxiously awaiting this build! WOOT, you so rock! Now if that slacker "build bot" gets around to doing "his" job, you've just made tons of folks VERY happy campers!
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Thank you, Toast! Been refreshing all day, can't wait for working headphones :)

If it helps: Tesla LED from the Market works just fine on CM7 on the Shift. Maybe kang some of their ish? ;)

Also: Minor Glitch. LED shows orange as it should when charging but turns to green when it gets to 90%, instead of waiting until 100%.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] sarspants:
Tiny Flashlight + LED also works great!
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
The green at 90% thing happened on cm6 as well, so I would guess it will probably stay that way.

You mentioning the led reminded me that my notifications blink orange instead of green. Is everyone else's doing that too?
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
you can adjust the color of the notification LED in CM settings... and all aosp roms turn green at 90% charge

On the flashlight toast, I was using widgetsoid on sense roms, and it has multiple methods to try for the LED, and method two is the one that worked... just thought maybe it could help if you could compare the different methods in that app maybe.. just a thought.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bcellis:
Awesome news!

Does anyone have any idea when the nightly will be out? My ipod got stolen out of my car last night and I'd love to use my phone to listen to music on my drive home.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EmperorX:
RC is out. Go go go!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Geeble:
Just flashed the RC! Headset means headphones? D: I still cannot hear using the headphone jack but I did not wipe just updated, if it does work for someone else let me know please .

Otherwise great work love this rom thanks for all the work you put into it.

Just refreshed headset fix was forgotten in recent update xD
[EVO Shift 4G General] melficersx:
I did a full wipe of everything twice and my clockwork is the newest version. I tried it again this afternoon and still the same thing, just a boot loop over and over.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Should be up shortly
[EVO Shift 4G General] Geeble:
Headphones fixed! And everything done in such a short amount of time thanks again.

Side note will cm7 have ad hoc support? Don't know to much about it but I know I need it to connect my obd code reader to torque.
[EVO Shift 4G General] navy17:
Flashed the latest RC. Headphones work beautifully. Thanks for all the work, this ROM is great!
[EVO Shift 4G General] sarspants:
Need to wipe to fix headphones?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Geeble:
no need to wipe to fix headphones xD atleast not for me
[EVO Shift 4G General] navy17:
Yeah same here, no wipe and everything seems to work fine
[EVO Shift 4G General] sarspants:
Headphones not working for me without wiping. Coming from a clean install of build #32. I'm wiping now and will update.

update: still no worky :(

I'm going to redownload and try again.

update 2: got headphones to work with a clean install, going to flash it over my nandroid and see if it works then so I don't have to bother with restoring all of my apps.

Update 3: works great flashing on top! That'll teach me for downloading the rom over 3G!
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyf27:
I'm coming from a pre-nightly build and just flashed with no wipe. Headphones are working great.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art77:
Installed Syndicate ROM Frozen (Malanga) Full version, and when i turn on the WiFi tether(3.0 pre11) that comes with the ROM, it turns on automatically the Sprint Hotspot, then the phone crashes turns off and thenb back on, by itself

I get both App. running at the same, what do i have to do, to run the wifi tether only???????? :confused:

thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om3ga1582:
In wifi tether go to settings and the first option is device profile. Make sure you have the right one selected. And yes, wifi tether does turn on the sprint hot spot app. That's how it works in infrastructure mode.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art77:
ok, thanks , i downloaded tether 3.0 pre10 , people r saying that is faster than 3.0 pre11, it works fine now, thanks..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giftedx29:
i had the same problem you are having, after the reboot half my apps force close i've given up on acs every release i have problems
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art77:
You know what, im having problems too with new Synd. ROM frozen(full) version, my phone is acting weird, i download GoSMS app, made it my default text app, and i keep receiving text's on Messaging, its annoing.... looks nice the rom and is super fast, but i needs a couple tweaks to make it stable...

So giftedx29 which ROM are u using now???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] grcd:
I have been a user of Elelinux for a long while -- after trying several other ROMs: I simply think it is the best out there in terms of long term stability.

About a couple of days ago, I decided to give a try to CM7 and so far I am pretty impressed with it, but it does have its bad moments here and there with some unexpected slowdowns or FCs.

Which of the two is better in your opinion and why? Also, if you have another 2.3 ROM in mind let me know which it is, so I can give it a try.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ciprilik:
Elelinux : Continous development so it's updated frequently, A2SD-EXT included.

CM7 : The development for the hero stopped. AFAIK they don't have a dedicated developer for HTC HERO GSM anymore so it's outdated. A2SD-EXT is missing and if you flash one, you are stuck in a bootloop.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thompson2009:
Elelinux is the best i think

I use Elelinux which i think is the best for my hero.

It has been so reliable and fast. not had any problems.

Tried others and none where as good i think.

It is great i can run gingerbread on my hero so well.

Love it.

Well done Elelinux for a great rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] illumii:
Long time CM user here.

Changes specifically made for the CM7 hero / base can be seen here:

(The forum requires me to have 8 posts to post a useful link. This isn't fun.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] grcd:
Also, what do you guys think of Cronos Ginger?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nolochemical:
The last CM 7 nightly I Flashed was #22, hero GSM. Very active and stable.. performance/19-748/no-compcache /32mb-vmheap

Had a few force closes due to me pushing it.. but less than i expected at 748..

Avoided good advice .. installed setCPU to try ' interactive ' governor.. What was striking is that after seeing a report after checking mail, twitter, YouTube, etc. I spent very little time @ 748 .. spent most time under 567.. quite smooth.. oc over 567+ really makes little difference for light usage.. wish I kept the report to post here.. just my 2cents..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bochdi:
Elelinux ROM...

A2SD-Ext include, that's why...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hhsun:
isn't elelinux's rom built on CM7 rom?

it should contains good points of CM7, with more great features
[Hero, G2 Touch General] timqqq:
Elelinux is absolutionly better than Cronos , coz i tried Cronos. Cronos is a degrade version of Elelinux
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k0zmic:
Why is that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] VillainRocks:
You do know that if you are running Elelinux, means you are running Officially: Cronos.... I do not understand why Elelinux has not been banned because of releasing a rom based fully on Cronos.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boonhoong:
I am planning on upgrading from CM612 to CM7. Can I get away with just wiping the Dalvik cache and Cache Partition only, or do I need to wipe data/factory reset as well? I am contemplating on whether to do a full Titanium Backup prior to the upgrade.

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find any reference in the forum after searching.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mobilarz85:
You have to wipe when going from cm6 to cm7

Sent from htc espresso	CM7
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boonhoong:
You mean wipe data/factory reset as well?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Yes, preferable. CM6 is Froyo, CM7 is GB.

You can take a nandroid backup of your data partition and flash it after installing CM7. May work.

Or you could use TB or Mybackup pro to get it done.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boonhoong:
Ok. Thanks for the advice!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boonhoong:
Made the transition to CM7 RC3 last night. Didn't know why I waited so long. It's fantastic!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jafargio:
I am always doing dalvic clean and factory reset before upgrading or downgrading to any rom.

Hi all,

I want to start application development for android. Can anyone please let me know the requirements for this?

I know that I am asking very general question and please let me know if this is not the correct place to ask this query.

I know C/C++...what things I need to learn before starting application development for android?

Waiting for reply!!
[Android Software Development] skulk3r:
From what I can tell:

Java.

Then hit the android developer's website and they'll teach you how to write for android platform.
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
Thanks skulk, but do I need to start learning Java from scratch for that?

Can anyone please guide me in this?
[Android Software Development] FloatingFatMan:
Well, it's pretty hard to learn a new programming language from the middle! :p

Go to the Android devs site... There are plenty of tutorials there, as well as links to Eclipse (favoured Android development platform).
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
sorry to be so naive...but what is the link of android dev website?
[Android Software Development] FloatingFatMan:
Clicky the linky.
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
many thanks floating man. I didn't knew that this is different forum from any android developer forum...btw can you please let me know the difference between this forum and any android dev forum?
[Android Software Development] FloatingFatMan:
This is a general smartphone forum, mainly catering for HTC made devices, but covering "some" others as well.
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
Thanks floating man. I will subscribe to any of the android dev forum and ask the same query there. But there is one doubt: whether such a basic (and naive) query be resolved there?

Do you recommend any particular android dev forum?
[Android Software Development] elgubbo:
since you already know c/c++ you already know the basics of programming which are the same for each language i guess.

in my opinion writing basic/simple apps for android is more easy than writing the same app in c/c++.

so for basic/simple apps you could start with some general java tutorials especially about OOP and then go on to Android ...
[Android Software Development] skulk3r:
just simply Google search terms like "android development for beginners" or "android app development tutorial" and plenty of websites come up offering handy dandy hints =]
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
Thanks elgubbo,

I will try that and let u know if thwre is any issue...let me kbow if anyone else has any suggestions....
[Android Software Development] clownfish:
For me it always helps to try to understand other code samples. Thats why I am looking for a book wich explains a few basic (and some advanced) code samples.

Sent from my fishbowl...
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Java was originally created as a successor to C++ and if you know C++ the syntax of Java should look very familiar. It was designed to make OOP concepts more accessible to C++. It was also set up to make pointers and memory management a thing of the past.

Actually in a lot of ways, knowing C++ will give you an advantage over devs who only know Java. Eventually you'll be able to use Android's NDK (Native Development Kit). Although you will have to use some Java as all apps require the use of some java and the SDK on Android. But even then, you'll have a better idea of what is happening "under the hood" due to your C++ knowledge.

As for where to get started I would suggesst learning applications fundamentals:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html

Especially the Activity lifecycle and Component lifecycles.

Do all the "Hello World!" tutorials and then you should be well on your way to becoming the next Angry Brid..... err Angry Bird dev.
[Android Software Development] vijay.gupta:
Thanks alostpacket. That is a very useful link. I will read it and let u know if i have any queries. I just have a doubt, moreover, i am fearing because i have only written simple c++ programs till now. Will i be able to do it?
[Android Software Development] FloatingFatMan:
Instead of being scared by it, TRY it! Install Eclipse. Install the Android SDK. Try the tutorials. Only you can know if you can do it or not.
