If what is in your sig is correct you have to small a data partition for this rom, on install of non mtd version with gapps installed you get about 137 of 179 used in system so you need about 140 3 in mtdpartmap.

I'll put that in the first post, without gapps its 124 3 with gapps it should be a minimum 140 3.

I'm on what I built last night, I sync'd right after cm posted the cm7 release, so far it's working fine, I had a problem this weekend with a failed HD is why nothing got released, I have several nightly versions here and I didn't even know what i built last night was a CM7 release for many phones until I saw twitter.

Usb tether doesn't crash anymore...but I also don't see it connect on my laptop either, I'm on ubuntu, needs more investigation because it works fine in DietGB with no changes to kernel or rom.

I also had to wipe everything this time, including "fastboot erase system -w"

They are still labeled as nightly's as I had no idea at the time it was release, I'd rather not say release until it's fully tested anyways.

Here are the links until I update the first post.

CM7 04112011

CM7 04112011 MTD Minimum 138 in mtdpartmap if you install gapps, also if you change your mtdpartmap you have to flash the recovery file again to set up the recovery kernel properly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I found the fix, or what was the fix, it no longer works on gingerbread though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
@carz12 Are the battery icons fixed in this release? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
They are whatever is in cm7 frameworks mdpi folder, I haven't changed anything, cosmetics are secondary to me, functional is what I care about. if you have some icons in mind I can add them I guess, I can't see anything wrong with these ones myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leave:
Is this rom made from the CM7 for HERO ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
No, I use cm sources straight from github.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
I thought this was a port.. But it's better this way. :) I'm already testing the final release. I'll give feedback as soon as possible. By the way, regarding the nightly thing, maybe this was still labeled like that because they might be working in CM7.1 or something like that. It was the same with CM6 i think. :)

Once again, Great Job and Thank You very much for all the work and "wasted" hours/days around this project. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leave:
Thank you very much! I'll try this rom..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tera89:
did if i flash oshaka superwipe v2 .. does it include ur quote command ?

do i need to flash gps_asia_fix over this rom ??

im at south east asia ..

thx in advance for helping
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
@carz: thx. one question: is the market issue (missing directory) fixed with this release?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leave:
Another question, does the usb tethering work in this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
Earlier I asked you:

To which you replied:

Again, thank you very much for your hard work making what is in my opinion the best Magic ROM :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
LoL, ok, I guess I did say it haha. I'll look tonight.

Usb tethering is broken in cm7 I see on many phones, turn on unknown sources in settings and use this.

wired tether
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
I don't want you to feel obliged to look into it just because you said it. You've done an excellent work so far and I'm more than happy with the end result, the battery icons are just a minor nuisance ;)

Also in which direction would you point someone that would want to start helping out on ROM porting/building that has no experience at all with Android development? I have general programming skills and I feel like I could help out. Sorry for the offtopic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
All works on new version? superuser, etc? No DISes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
reset i mean reboot - did u install busybox from market - try..

I don't have any problems with titanium
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reflog@gmail.com:
Well, in my install there was a symbolic link loop between bin and xbin for su command.

I've deleted the problematic link, pushed a good su binary and ran:

shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

That fixed it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Hi Carz? Is your 710 kernel get 10MB RAM Extra?

A stupid question but is there any different between this ROM and GBRider Cronos ROM?

Flashing right now with OC 710 kernel (10MB RAM extra)

My first thoughts is this ROM seems faster than Cronos ROM

* Get problem with Titanium and busy box, Could not install busybox --> Change SU, working

* Booting is faster than Cronos (40s with HTC Magic Image, 35s with CM7 Image), total 75s vs 90s of Cronos

* Button light is working well. (Cronos 1.94 did not)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
issue found:

when phone is charged -> no charging animation
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
after reboot, it is there...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tera89:
on off animation dint work out ...

still fastest gingerbread ROM i've tested ... thumbs up!!!!! and million thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
How did u fixed this?

Can u tell me?

Where did u get the SU?

Tks

OK, I have replaced SU 2.3.1, now Superuser is working well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Yes. I didn't know if you left it off on purpose, but i turned it on anyway. So far the ROM is working flawlessly. :D It´s possible to apply the same MTD partitions that are used in your Diet Gingerbread?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
just waking up, see below
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Hmm, no problems here with su, and yes I can do a custom mtd version. This rom isn't bad as far as partitions go though. only 20% free on system and 156m free on data. Cache is crazy big though.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
This are great news. I was getting claustrophobic. :P The only problem with the new Radio e this odd partitions. I know they are meant to the giant Sense UI based ROM's, but when you use skinny ROM like this, the remaining space in the system partition is almost useless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
As far as default settings go everything is bone stock cm7, I have changed nothing, remember the cm team has it labeled as an RC not release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pajaSRB:
Great ROM carz12, ty for hard work.For me is working imba and batery life is much better then on magic with old radio.No bug found yet...keep up the good work cant w8 for honeycomb ))))
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Uploading a custom MTD version now, same instructions as my diet rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I Need to replace SU in order to get Titanium worked (can install Busybox)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
I had no problem related to SU too! Everything worked like it was supposed to work..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
* My phone could not wake up after screen off. need to pull out the battery to reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
What min value are you using for CPU Speed? I used to have this issue with Cronos ROM when i set min speed lower than 245. Try to increase it a litle. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kargi:
Battery life??? Anyone???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
So far it's very effective. It's like Cronos without the battery drain. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xguciox:
Superuser works well. I'm testing this rom on this cpu setting

min 352

max 710

ondemand

about 6h and everything is fine no dead in sleep ;) yet:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I flashed with full wipe, not with super wipe.

SU did not work.

Market can not download.

FC of android keyboard when install other keyboard app. Run Fix permission to fix it.

Low free memory issue happened making the phone very lag
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xbloody:
hi all

well just upgraded yesterday withoud doing a wipe, and so far everything is working like a charm, the only thing i had to do was to fix the su problem, but no biggies.

So far the phone is workin even better than what it was with rc4.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
My phone freeze and restart after first/second boot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Don't worry. My to, but only after first boot. Later all was good and is good now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
But why? What's wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
On 0411 version, reboot two times after clean install(erase system), unplug this morning and 50% battery use after 11h34m. Quiet good than last version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
But why it's rebooting?

Edit:

DIS, DIS, DIS- why it is in nightlies? Why on RC4 this doesn't exist?

Edit2:

This is great ROM. The best ROM. But DIS :/ And long movies :/

Edit3:

Can I update only CM parts(I think about tablet tweaks- statusbar in bottom) in RC4? How?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fr3quency:
I tried to use SD Increase, but it couldn't edit the read_ahead_kb. Tried editing it myself with Root Explorer afterwards, but it wouldn't save. It would always be 128kb. Help, anyone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthurcswang:
Thanks , It really works :)

BTW , how about compile/fixing camera issues ? please advise also !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
To Carz: can u have a look at minifree memory function of the ROM? I think it does not work totally. When my phone is too lag, it automatically reboot the phone (start from CM logo).

I think this is the biggest issue of this ROM in my phone. Today, i need to reboot phone twice within 12 hours plus 1 more auto reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
My remix:

How do I get my market to start working?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
If u have market download issue with mtd , try following in terminal.

#su

$cp -a /dev/cache/download /cache
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
I do have this problem too, sometimes RAM lower to 5mb and phone very lagged. Even install autokiller still no improve.

Another issue is market. I found app downloaded in /cache/download but will not start install or that apks won't delete after installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] treebeard09:
Having the same problem.

Other than this the only problem is that my GPS seems to hang when I use it to track my training runs while listening to music on Bluetooth. It will just stop tracking after a few k's. Never had trouble on CM 6.1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthurcswang:
I did not have memory/GPS issue ..

Free memory >80mb after one day running Angry birds RIO/G-News /G-MAP.

ALL fine except Camera & WIFI (i don't care). Cam not working .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sp33dyS:
I've got GPS issue. Both Google Navi and Waze loses signal 1-2 min. after i run them. Only restart of app helps, but problem occurs every time. Any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Sorry about the delay guys, I was in hospital for a bit, good news is my heart is ok. Bad news is my ct scan... I have to go see a neurologist on tuesday.

Cam isn't working? you compiling your own? cam works for me.

I had a few problems with the last repo sync, well I though I did, turns out I just had to wipe system, I think the min low free memory is fixed, usb tether(native) is 2/3 fixed, su is fixed, market on mtd version is fixed(I'm not using auto mtd anymore, I'm fixing at compile time) updated kernel and modules plus all of cm7's updates.

I'll test it out this afternoon and post it later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] treebeard09:
Sorry to hear about that. Praying there's no bad news on Tuesday. I appreciate your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Thankyou, and so far this new build is working great
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saibot64:
that sucks.. i do hope it's nothing major! take care!

not to be completely off topic (blah) - would it be posssible to incorporate the low-voltage portion of pershoot's old radio kernel? i hope you know what i mean:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pckeung:
I tried flashing it. I like it using stock Launcher. But I find that the sd-ext can not find in Titanium backup and all app installed in internal storage.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthurcswang:
You did CT scan? What happened to you?

Take care, sir.

Of course your CM7 cam works :)

I did check some cam issues, some post show vga recording is possible.

Smoki's rom show it in low frame rate.

Some post mention about the oemcamera(larger) and normal camera(smaller, your CM7 apply this, right?)

BTW, rumour said the Android 3.0 will need Google's approval, will it block Andorid 3.0 for Sapphire?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Hope the exams run ok.

When ROM is online i will test.

Thanks for great work.

Hey guys,

Is anyone having problems with 3g net ? On EDGE all is working fine, but on 3g sometimes it works sometimes not?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vieto2m:
I've flashed Remix posted by blaster44 and it seems be fine. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I posted a new release to the OP
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
I've had no issues with the latest nightly. I'll try this new release as soon as I get home. Thanks a lot for your effort and I wish you all the best.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
which one is it?

update-cm-CyanogenCARZ-7-04062011-2-NIGHTLY-DS-signed.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
if you read the OP you will find it fast.

i will install it soon... i first have to slim it a little :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Sorry, messed up OP the second link is mtd
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
"I used google to save settings and apps before wiping and then used it to restore everything, worked like a charm."

Carz how did you use Google to backup apps and data?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
I remember its in "settings->privacy"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
You are talking about "Back up my data" and " Automatic restore" check boxes?

I've always had those checked but I have never seen Google restoring my apps.

Let's say I have Facebook app installed before and after a full wipe and a clean Facebook installation they are supposed to restore the app to the state it was before the wipe...I highly doubt that ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mhc19881010:
take care carz12.

保重。
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
The auto restore from google only happen at the first boot after flash ROM. You need to sign-up google account at first time, then it will restore all your apps and setting...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pckeung:
I think the googles restore only affect on the same rom ( i dont know name or build).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
Flashing 0418 version now, non-MTD version OK, MTD version got Status 7 error when Installing update... assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot") ... don't know why~~~ I use "CM7-boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip"

Try old one and report later...

Try DGB CustomMTD and got same error, I really don't know how to make the MTD works ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Straightflush:
thats not true... my apps restored after I switched here from Yoshi's Rom... but for some reason, my apps didn't reload after RC4 to the old version of the new release...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I chose Backup options, flash the MTD and use restore from Google.

Nothing happened, need to re install app

SU still did not work

Market still could not download, I already have ext4
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
How did u do to flash the MTD version, mine got status 7 error like my last po. My steps are:

fastboot erase system -w

flash recovery (seo 2.0)

flash CustomMTD and reboot to recovery

flash Carz 7 MTD and got Status 7 ~~~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
Getting DIS on the new nightly. I can overcome this issue by pressing various keys and with luck I can unlock it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Hm, the latest ROM - see my signature - works like a charm and have no issue. Very good ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Maybe that's where I'm wrong...I always skip that, enable Wifi & connect and after that I go back to accounts to add the Gmail account.

Reason is I don't want the phone to do the whole data sync on my mobile data account.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
During the check-in process you can always choose to use WIFI, this is not limited to your data connection.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
You only get that if you set the min CPU speed to less than 245MHz..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
Do your first boot without the sim card ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Must be some sort of issue with the latest MTD version I was getting the status 7 error as well.

I tried to update without wipe (I know it says that you should but what ever) and that didn't work.

Then tried wiping all same error. Then fastboot erase then back to recovery and wiped all just to make sure and still error 7.

Downloaded the non MTD version and tried to push it as I was still in recovery and it couldn't find the sdcard, so I thought what ever I will just mount the sdcard and drop it in that way.

I went to the mount the sdcard from recovery and it said that it was already mounted :confused: unmounted and remounted didn't show up in windows.

Unmounted and tried to push and it couldn't find the sdcard... mounted it again but it didn't show up in windows so I thought that I would try pushing it just for fun and it went... Oh well.

Flashed it, then flashed the FR-boot-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip.

Booted like butter. Currently using MyBackup Root (free) to restore all apps and settings :)

IMHO: MyBackup Root is easier and more straight forward than Titanium backup.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
Does somebody else have problem with root?

I dont have root...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I'm having issues myself on this release, low memory slowdowns. Will have a look tonight and see what changed. RC2 is still my favorite.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
After flashing everything seemed to work fine but it was a little slow so I decided to reboot. But I got stuck at the splash screen. I waited about half an hour but never got passed it. Had to reflash but same thing happened after reboot. Done it 3 times now all with the same problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
sorry guys, I uploaded a borked mtd rom by mistake
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
OP updated with proper mtd rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ginoyang:
Thanks carz, should be download the correct one and try again after I get in office.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
No worries, I did it the long way but its working now.

Thanks for all your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saibot64:
Decided to try the rom again, it's still the fastests GB on Magic, but battery life is still way worse than when running Yoshi mod on old radio with pershoot's kernel. Carz's kernel uses like 63-273 mA where on Yoshi it's less than 10.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
to carz:

i'm using latest version (non MTD because i do my own MTD :))

i did not touch any performance option... this version has the same i usually use by default...

everything works ok until now...

only problem i see for now is the memory management... sometimes it gets very very low and lags... that is not fixed yet...

thanks for this ROM's!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Low memory happened wih all version but new version is terrible.

one more issue is phone app, ,it took long time to see the incoming number or sometimes did not appear
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Offtopic question: how do you find the value of the current drawn by the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
i think minifree options in the rom should be more agressive.

i will test it with more agressive values...

standard now are: 1536, 2048, 4096, 9216, 10240, 10240

testing with: 1536, 2048, 4096, 9216, 10240, 13240
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Last time when.I used automemory killer, the app seemed not work. But i did not chose the agressive option, just the moderator. But I think this relates to the ROM .

Hope to get news from u, I got crazy with new update from yesterday. My phone lag and lag
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
is running great until now...

i reduced a bit to 11240 and testing... to have more things in memory...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saibot64:
I use this app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Can u tell me how to do that?

su/Root problems

hi,

very nice ROM and thanx for all the work that is done for all us newbies.

I have discovered that i have no root access(tethering not working,su denied in terminal and so on)

I also read in this thread about xbloody tip

to fix the su permission.

So my question is could I flash this su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip in recovery?

or should I push it in adb shell?

As a newbie I just wanna do it easy and safe for myself, this adb is not my cup of tea:-)

Again, thanx carz12 for your work and all others that are helping out!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xbloody:
just push it throu adb is fast and safe :)
