Blargh, I mucked something up so I had to do a full wipe and my last nandroid backup was from when I flashed the Aug14th ROM so I'm missing about a weeks worth of data. I'm thinking it might have to do with re-flashing the recovery partition with a customMTD set but I'm not sure.

Are you running with customMTD?

I did try re-flashing the 4.0.0.5 CWM recovery but I wouldn't get past the HTC Magic bootscreen so I tried a nandroid backup. When I try to extract the data.img using unyaffs2 I don't have any applications show up, only a few hundred items in lost+found. I'm going to try and somehow restore data from it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Oh, if you had a custom part set up then after installing the new recovery you would have to run the custom mtd recovery file again and then reboot.

And , no I don't run custom mtd anymore, I've never come close to running out of space yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
I tried that. :( oh well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
So, having the Aug 14th backup means I didn't lose too much info.

I'm curious though what sort of performance changes are people running with this?

I'm trying

Compcache 18%

Surface Dithering Disabled

JIT Enabled

VM Heap 32M

Everything else disabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fr3quency:
Sorry for the random post, but I wanted to say it these past months. carz12, you're the best! I owned a Magic some months ago, and you, seriously, have helped the Magic community. We get 100% of the phone, thanks to you! And I'm very happy to see that, even though you bought a Nexus S(If I recall correctly you did...), you still help the Magic community, with the CM7 port and the DietGB. :)

That's all. I just wanted to thank you. Even though I got some other phone, I still check here to see if you update the ROMs. :33
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kanttii:
CPU: Min 245Mhz, max 614Mhz, governor ondemand

Compcache 18%

JIT off

Surface dithering on

Purging of assets off (what does this exactly do?)

VM heap size at 48m
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
Please forgive my ignorance... but why is this important?

EDIT: I guess it's used for benchmarking purposes...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cesco73:
;-)

Congratulations carz12 a spectacular job. the rom works like a charm, stable, fast!!!! :o:o:o if only flaw I can say is that the kernel has yet to be optimized for new radios
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
everything i use and test is working great.

the only thing i see that is not amazing is the amount of battery drain when using wifi. on standby battery life seems normal.

thanks carz for this rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Thanks Carz for your committment to our old fashioned devices. I am using your latest 7.1 Rom for three days now and am really happy with it. No issues so far!

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rabbit911:
Great ROM, only got some battery issues with it.

I leave home in the morning (full battery), and when I come home, SOMETIMES (about 30% of the time), my phone is just dead (empty battery).

(the other 70% of the time its at 97% life)

Do I need to flash a kernel or something? Dunno :) just asking
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
I'm also seeing a bit higher battery drain then the previous release (Aug 14th).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] killerbie:
Here the same (just know that my car charger is missing -_- )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
I'm pretty sure when I was using the Aug 14th release I was using the following kernel.

carz-2.6.34.4-07072011-signed.zip

I could just reflash this right? And I'd lose the LED notifications? What else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] killerbie:
I can't miss the LED notifications :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peppeuz:
I'm also experiencing a bit of drain battery...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Do you guys still see the Airplane Mode issue with the latest ROM and the kernel that comes with it?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
There are 2 google apps in Aug 20, and July 10 update.

Only differences in name is "S"at the end. So they same or not?

After flashing aug 20, flash the GAPPS again?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rabbit911:
This night my phone was plugged in, and he still died. This is strange, maybe its an usb issue on my part, I dunno. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Charger problem?

I had to replace mine after 2 years of use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
could be something running on background.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] catalin23x:
Hi cesco73. How would you compare the two (2.3.5) ROMs: CM 7.1 vs. Ginger yoshi 1.4? Which of the two is more stable, faster, complex?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peppeuz:
I used both of them (but Ginger Yoshi wih old radio and SPL) and I prefere this CM7.1 port by carz, but GY is good too...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
my phone is going randomly to the "sleep of death"

my minimum cpuspeed is set to 480 mhz

anyhow, thanks for all the work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peppeuz:
what do you mean with "sleep of death"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] aaplus12:
Camera / Audio bug

is anyone still having the camera / audio bug. My audio is muted after taking 3-4 pics.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
the phone turns off the screen, can't get it to turn on unless i take the battery off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pokgat:
i found out sometimes my phone going to mute..no sound/alert/music at all..its like no codec/driver to run the sound..pls advicse
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] killerbie:
I can't seem to be able to delete any widget's/links frome any of my home screens?!

(I can add new ones..)

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cesco73:
hi =)

it must be said that the rom created for new radio, able to take full advantage of hardware on your phone!! then speed, stability, better signal strength!! there is to say that the kernel for new radios still have problems.

CM 7.1 vs. Ginger yoshi 1.4 : provided that you use the new radio, I would say that the differences are really minimal, I would say that counts your preference try them both because they are all wonderful.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cesco73:
suggest using the internal cpu Governor =) is set to a minimum 352Mhz. Governor = conservative and you'll see that the whole system is!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cesco73:
as if the phone is asleep and does not unlock more. This problem is caused by the kernel that does not yet support the low frequency of new radio, I do not know why =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] killerbie:
one more bug: screen sensor seems to work, but after a couple of hours it stops working. after a reboot it works again (for a couple of hours).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Screen sensor is what? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] killerbie:
the orientation sensor :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
No issues with screen orientation here.

Also for the death in sleep I find that pushing menu to wake up the screen comes on however there is no display (you can see the back light come on). You can still swipe and feel the vibrations of it unlocking but still no display. Just push power (red button). Then green button and the screen comes back on fine. Mind you I haven't had this issue since I made a profile in setcpu for screen off to have a minimum and maximum of 325 (or whatever the number is. Can't check while on the phone, don't want to lose this post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
minimum 352 cpu prevents death sleep.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
just to say that my phone is running great... no problems... with standard processor speeds... 245 - 528

maybe problems only appear when this settings are changed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
blizard, you have no sleep death with those cpu setting? and which cpu governor?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
I didn't touch any performance settings. It's ondemand governator
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
How to download mms pictures?

Found.

Aplication "save mms".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
MMS pic questions.

I have had issues receiving mms for a few updates don't remember which one it last worked on as I don't use it that much. The message shows up but it just says something like <Subject: no subject> and there is no image.

I thought that it must have something to do with either my APN settings, currently using the default built into the rom but have tried my old rogers ones that use to work before and it is the same issue. Or it was an issue with the Rom however no one else seems to have an issue.

I recently bought DeskSMS and it's been very handy, last night I got a mms and on my phone no image appeared however when I got to work this morning DeskSMS had the image O_o.

I am not really sure however I believe that DeskSMS just forwards your received messages to it's server so you can view them there. If that is the case then why did my phone receive the image but not display it however it was able to forward it back to DeskSMS....

Anyone have any thoughts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Any update to 2.3.6? I've bee read in some many place that recently was a update to 2.3.6 and will be fine if can update this amazing release too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
with 672 mhz max on cpu and launchepro the rom is really really fast.

do you have problems using metamorph?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
2.3.6 is just a bug fix to voice search I think. But when Google releases the source code and cyanogen merges that and carz makes the Rom to sapphire... we will have it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thorinside:
I tried the August 20 release out on my Magic, and I have a couple of major problems. This ROM and many of the others have been doing the same thing. It's the black sleep of death. The easiest way I've been able to replicate it is to turn on Airplane mode, and then turn off the screen. The phone will never wake up. I need to pull the battery, wait until it boots and quickly turn off airplane mode before the screen turns off after booting otherwise it goes back to sleep and never wakes up.

I'm not sure what would be causing such a thing, but it happens to me quite often. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the CPU governor modes or the min and max frequencies. It has more to do with the state of the radios. The other day it happened to me when I was texting a friend, and he decided to phone me. I was using the previous Carz release then. Last night I updated hoping this problem had been fixed, but after turning on Airplane mode and turning off the screen (single press of red hangup button) the poor phone stopped responding.

I know that the OS is still working when this happens because if I'm listening to podcasts the audio keeps going. But none of the buttons seem to work.

My stats are:

HBOOT-1.76.2007

RADIO-6.35.16.19

Thanks for any assistance you can give.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
It is there for a while.

Usually after it goes into airplane mode and turn off screen and in sleep mode for some time(not sure how long), then it wont come up unless pull battery.

New kernel

Hi carz12

news on the new kernel?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dobah:
I know the spl and radio are required. Where do I get these files?

You must have 1.76.2007 spl

You should have 6.35.16.19 radio

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hi guys,

I've been using carz ROMs for some time now and they are very good but with most of them the GPS functionality is not that reliable.

This thing is very annoying for me since I use an app (SportyPal Pro) to track my running sessions and I get crashes from time to time and sometimes it takes forever to lock on the satellites.

This behavior (although seems a bit better) continues with the latest Aug 20th release that I have properly installed after full wipe.

Many things can be at fault for this behavior...starting with the actual app that is probably not tested on our phones, lack of memory, CM's code, kernel, drivers...

Do you guys have any idea how to tackle this issue once and for all?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Corvus Corax:
@carz: Great ROM! Congratz! The fastest ROM I used!

BUT... I have that problem with battery charging very long and draining fast. :/ With that, I have sleep of death issue which I solved with raising the min CPU value to 352MHz. Could you solve these problems?

All the best.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
i have this problem too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
set the cpu frequency doesnt solve the air plane mode problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Hi, I've been using this ROM for a while and it's amazing but I'm having some problems this are maybe bugs :(. First when I take a few pictures (3 or maybe 4) the sound dissapear but for all the phone meaning I can ear any call or sound in my phone and I need to restart. The bluetooth doesn't work either. Any help for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Carz I saw you release a new diet gingerbread with new kernel.

Will that kernel work here or will you update this rom also?

Thanks for keeping my Magic 32A alive!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hope we also get an update for this ROM after the one for Diet :P

good work carz!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enek:
Does anyone else use Google Goggles? I find that after first launch it horribly drains the battery until the next phone reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kilovar40:
I had airplane mode problems on previously releases, but on Aug 20 release I have not been able to reproduce the problem again?!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peppeuz:
Still no update for us? :(

Should we move to DietGingerbread?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Relax. Let him get one Rom stable and good before he moves on to his next free rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
hi guys, i have a problem,

when i charge my phone, my battery never reach 100%, (always around 80% ~ 90%)

but when i reboot it, it suddenly change into 100%..

do you know how to fix it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] peppeuz:
It used to happen to me too.

Don't know why it worked for me but try this: when the battery seems to be fully recharged, at 90% for example, don't plug it off but start to use your phone: use the browser, some apps... you'll see that the battery will start to recharge againg, and this time it will arrive to 100%.

Don't know why, probably a battery calibration matter, but it worked for me and after some times i hadn't the issue anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mp00:
Charge your phone while it's off, go to recovery, wipe battery stats, turn off, charge once more (preferably whole night) and than turn it on.

Should help, this way you should recalibrate your battery.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
Woke up today and phone was fine. Got into work 3 hours ago and about 30 minutes ago I'm now in a CM7 boot loop. Phone was just sitting in my pocket not doing anything for the 3 hours...

http://pastebin.com/01fAHSKp

Tried re-flashing Aug. 20th ROM, then reflashing the CustomMTD boot zip. Tried wiping cache/davlik-cache. Tried re-flashing gapps.

Edit:

Restored just the data partition from recovery from a nandroid backup from 20 days ago. Can boot into the launcher now and am just reconfiguring. Still curious what might have caused this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I updated the OP with a new, much better release I believe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I posted an update but yes it works awesome in cm7, I use cm7 now instead of dietgb (don't tell anyone)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I believe the sound issue is fixed now, I'll check Bluetooth, I only tested bt pan and it worked great
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Just got the latest, thanks for all of your hard work.

I was just wondering if I am missing something as I can't find the bubble lock screen?

It's not an option in the Lockscreen style?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Thanks carz! Your latest ROM works like a charm.

Hopefully the Airplane mode battery drain is fixed too :P any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wookiee82:
Hi to all!!

I have a problem since I updated to the 20th August release that I can't find the google+ app in the market anymore!! I installed the first app in the beginning of september with the previus version of the rom and everything was fine.

What do you thinki is the problem now?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I did not have that problem with Aug 20th but I've got it with the latest Sep28th.

From what I could find so far Market is hiding that application for me because it deems it incompatible with my device (Rogers' HTC Magic).

I don't know if it's because it "thinks" I'm supposed to run Android 2.2.1 as officially supported by Rogers or some other stuff got mixed in there...but I can tell you I was running Google+ with Aug 20 ROM without any problem.

...I was thinking to full wipe and see maybe that fixes it, although I don't feel like that will be a solution.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Strange about the g+ app, I have it installed just fine, even uninstalled and went to market, there it was, are you using the new market of old?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hmm...than maybe there is a chance I could get it too if I do a full wipe.

So, while I was using your Aug 20th ROM Market updated itself to a newer & crazier version and that process worked fine. After you posted Sept 28th I just flashed ROM zip followed by the latest gapps that you recommend with this ROM and rebooted.

After that I noticed G+ was missing and Market thinks is not supported on my phone. I also got SU updated to ver 3 from ver 2.3.2, but I don't think it plays a role.

Let me know if you have any idea...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Any thoughts on the bubble lock screen?

I didn't wipe and couldn't find it... but I was only getting Edge connections which was strange.

I wiped and re-installed and didn't see an option for it, downloaded My Backup Pro to re-install all of my apps while it was re-installing everything it caused a reboot (sort of normal for that app, no big deal) after it rebooted I wasn't really paying attention and swiped to unlock and it kind of looked like a bubble but it was to quick while I wasn't paying attention. My Backup Pro finished restoring the rest and I don't see anything that looks like bubbles now o_O

Any suggestions?

I think I am going to update recovery also as I am not an older one and try re-wiping again, unless someone has any other suggestion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wookiee82:
Hi have the old market and i don't know why but it doesn't update itself to the newest version. On the web version of the market it tells me that the application is not compatible with my phone which it sees as HTC Dream Sapphire...So what to do?! Update to the new release of the rom?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
ok, found out whats going on with lockscreen and market, repo sync messed up somewhere, I'll sync and recompile tonight when I get home
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xbloody:
hi all

Great rom Carz!!!

for all that have problems with su like i had extract the file su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and do this:

adb remount

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb push su /system/bin

adb shell

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

that should fix the su problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
The kernel in the rom is the 710 2.6.34 it has a 528/245 default boot setting though.

These reboots and screen freeze ups are strange, it seems to be on the European/Asian sapphire mostly. I have never had a single freeze or wake issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
Flashing this kernel 614-2.6.34-GB-v0.02-signed.zip and setting the min CPU speed to 352 Mhz seems to have solved the wake issue I've been having. I never had reboots of freezes though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
Carz why the first cm7 you upload was so much light, than the second one... are u gonna keep on your dietGB??

how is batery drain?? have you tested it when wi fi is turned on always???

i test DietGB was great in every way.. but GBrider not so good and i wanna know if this cm7 has the same bad battery life?? anyone can tell me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
I did this and in fact the wake issue vanished. :)

Everything work except downloading apps from market.

I hv try fix uid mismatch from recovery NG too.

I could use TB restore apps and work fine also install apks from file manager in SDCARD...

What should I do next~~~?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Well, I'll add back the 352 freq I took out in the stock kernel and set the min to 352 also for you guys.

New nightly being built now.

No major changes to our phone.

I'll say it again also, all i did was make cm7 work on my phone with new radio, then I shared it, as far as bugs... you have to go read the cm forums because unless you can supply a logcat kmesg and dmeg I can do nothing, as my phone has none of these problems.

Now if you find things like you just posted here (fixes) I'll do my best to incorporate them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
This market problem has been reported with almost every ROM. I'm almost sure that this is not ROM related. Maybe there is some problem with your WiFi network or your operator. I didn't have this problem with this ROM so far, but i had it with GBRider_Cronos and it suddenly vanished. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
This is an awesome ROM carz...keep it up!! :)

No problems and works like a charm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Ok, I'm testing a new kernel build on todays build, so far I'm good, but I always was, I hope it helps.

added 352000 back to table
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
The market thing might be because of the version of gapps I supply, try the small one from cm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I turn on WIFI always and I think that the battery is same with GB Rider.

But I think carz ROM is less laggy than GB ROM

To carz: As my though, the nightly build does not improve the speed vs the first build.

About the kernel, I think can u combine the OC 710 with 10MB RAM with the ROM, I think this kernel have no issue with your ROM. Also, how about the new kernel u r building now?
