very small issue here, for me anyway (I think) I am unable to run a third party app -

Rift Mobile Authenticator -

http://www.appbrain.com/app/rift-mobile-authenticator/com.trionworlds.mobile.auth

everytime I press to run it, it errors out about being unable to generate the code.. works fine on stock, mik, nfx, but can't get it to run on this. Any ideas, tried restoring a TBackup, install fresh, etc

like I said, small issue for me, but I like the prog (keeps my mmo account safer) and I would like to run CM7 with it if possible to be able to check this rom out for longer than a couple hours.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
On demand would be a better governor to use IMO for the best battery results. I have mine set at 184/1017 On Demand with the internel Cyanogen settings setting it at boot. So far its on par with the Sense roms except for when your talking about long term idle like 12 hours of no use.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BiffTirkle:
im having a hard time with gps functioning properly, it wont "Track" or follow my location. it will get a general idea of where i am, but be blocks off. navigation doesnt work either.

(this is important for me as i use it for work on a daily basis)

how did you get a lock?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
he made a backup of CM, went back to Sense (either restored a nandroid or flashed a ROM) got a GPS lock (most likely using GPS Status from the market) then rebooting to recovery, and restoring CM nandroid.

This has been talked about numerous times on this thread, as well as the Unofficial nightly thread.

You can also try turning off Wireless locations in the Locations menu.

Hope that helps.

I'm not having any luck in locating a thread to help with the gps issue. Can you help me out with a link?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
Its easy man. If you have a backup of the stock rom you need to restore it.

I would back up your CM7 rom and restore to your stock Sense rom or just flash one of the many on here. Than once your on the stock rom (Sense) either go into maps or install GPS Status from the market and get a solid GPS lock. Once your GPS is working on Sense than you can flash back to your Nandroid backup of your CM7 and your GPS will work perfect and much faster than when it was on the stock rom.

I Flashed this on my brother Evo Shift and he reported issues with the FN-Smiley key. Any idea on that?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blakeboys:
I loaded the rom on my brother's fiances phone and noticed the keyboard FN/Caps lights don't work. Also, she is experiencing a force close when she opens the physical keyboard, however, this is random and can't just duplicate the error. Anyone else experiencing this?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] cachorropedorro:
I noticed this problem on cm7 and evervolv when Handcent was installed and set as the primary messaging app. It might be a problem with Handcent and Gingerbread. I went back to the stock messaging app on both and I haven't seen that problem.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Well I installed the x99 kernel this morning and so far battery life has been great. After 9 hours I have 78% battery left with moderate use, but lots of text messaging. Liking this new kernel so far, the smartass governor seems to be doing its job.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
Smartass is a great kernel but if your talking longest battery life with a little less performance Ondemand is for you IMO. I prefer ondemand as it gives me a little better battery than smartass and I cant really tell the difference in performance myself. Find a kernel you like and experiement with it. I have since went to Scary's kernel and am getting better Benchmarks with the toasty governor (3420 Quadrant) and better battery life with his scary governor (12 hours heavy use consisting of 1.25 hours talk time etc).

I notice CM7 will use up 15-20% over a long idle period say 10-12 hours but the stock rom was around half that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
Well, I finally got the dreaded "stuck on 1x" problem that everybody talks about. I've spent hours trying to fix it--flashing back to Sense roms and editing settings in EPST, restoring my data profile, even reverting to a RUU and unrooting the device before re-editing EPST settings and re-restoring the profile. Didn't really help. I'm a little bit stumped here. I know I've been able to get perfectly good 3G signal here at my house before, on the Shift and on other devices.

Thanks for your input. She has handcent installed as well so putting two and two together must mean that's the problem. I'll give it a shot.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BiffTirkle:
I finally fixed the gps issue, thanks for the help guys. Since I do use navigation a lot for work I got used to using the telenav app on the stock rom. I tried to do a titanium backup of the app and restore it to cm7 with no luck. Anyone out there tried to install telenav on cm7?

One of the reasons I like telenav is the voice is smoother. Also I have magnets in my truck that mess up the compass on the phone which messes with the gmaps app.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Well if you were ever prompted to update telenav a month or so ago then it would still be on your memory card in the download folder. I just realized this myself but here is version 5.8 for the shift. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=57QLF9G6 The update was to version 6.2 and the filename will look like this "TN6.2-sprint-620186.apk" if its on your memory card.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Ok here goes the Telenav 6.2 for the shift and also sprint tv if you need it
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CrashV2010:
Thank you Bro !!!!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BiffTirkle:
Thank you! Now I have no reason to go back to sense rom. You guys are great!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] EmperorX:
Have you done anything other than install the kernel to achieve this? What sorts of settings are you using throughout the phone? All services on? Wifi? Application sync times? I really need to get my battery life near what others are reporting. So far, I am failing miserably.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sublime1184:
Most of the time I have data off, except when I need to use it. I use about 1-2 hours of wifi per day, off when I don't use it. Maybe 1-2 hour of calls, between 10-30 txts per day. cpu is max 1017 min 245 with smartass gov on x99 kernel. I can usually go about 35-45 hours before I have to charge again, with 45 being very light usage.

Multi-page SMS failure

I've been trying various versions of this since this topic came up, both nightly and stable builds, and have had this issue every single time.

I've noticed that if you try to send out a text message that is greater than 160 characters, it fails. Every single time, every build, multiple applications, it always fails. As soon as the length falls below 160, it sends just fine.

Does anyone have any tips about this, also experiencing this issue, or have any idea why it seems like I'm the only one getting this under every build?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] foolforfood:
If you use handcent, go into send settings and check "Split 160" and that will fix it.

It's a known issue with CDMA networks, Sense takes care of it automatically, but AOSP doesn't seem to. Hope this helps, cheers!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] xeren:
I just noticed this on my Evo, the stock messaging app that comes with CM7 now has (or has had for a while, not sure) an option called "SMS Split" that took care of this problem for me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jchappies:
loving CM7 so far (2 days now)

I use X99 set at 245\1017 smartass and getting good battery life, battery does get alittle warm when i have it pluged in and streaming music for 4-5hrs. Temps are around 100*

GPS worked great yesterday, i got SAT lock within 10 seconds

WiFi worked great last night as well

One thing i did notice was after i used GPS and turned the GPS radio off the icon never went away, i had to reboot for it to go away.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] EmperorX:
Ok that makes sense then. I need data on all day because I use google apps accounts to run my business and need constant access to incoming emails, calendar etc etc. Thanks for the info though!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] CrashV2010:
For your gps, go into your gmaps app, and get out of it... the signal icon will go away.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] iczerjones:
Sorry for the delayed response. I leave wifi/data on, but only enable GPS when I need it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
I havent done anything but install the kernal, I never turn off data and when i'm at home I turn the wifi on. The only thing i have set to sync is the weather every 2 hours, everything else I do manually. Before I installed the x99 kernal my battery life was no where near this good though. Like I leave my house at 9:30pm to go to work and before I get to work which is only about 25 minutes away my battery would be at like 75% or less. Now everything is just great.

I guess I will try it out. Did you install the Theme Manager version, about 8.25MB apk? I found another link that gave me a huge (50+ mb) zip which I dont think is the right one.

Its about 8mb but I download the one that said steel blue CM7 at the bottom of his post. You do apply it with the theme chooser though.

Edit: I guess I did download the theme manager version then. The one thats 50mb changes the bootscreen and everything.

Why not just flash it? If anything it's more stable than 7.0.0. If you're coming from a previous CM7 build you don't have to wipe everything. Just flash and reboot.

Nightly 39 should fix charging issues while being off (booting to recovery without asking)

add offmode charging for htc (android_bootable_recovery)

and notably the notification bar stuttering was fixed.

Issue 3418: Show statusbar on ADW swype and fix velocity (android_frameworks_base)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
I normally like to read about people's experiences and stuff before I do just because it can get kind of old flashing and reflashing my phone every couple days. If it's not a significant change then I decide if I want to bother or not.

Flash and reboot without a wipe first has worked for me about 50% of the time. The other half of the time I end up with bugs and errors that can only be fixed with a wipe and flash.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
charging while off is not fixed. i think thats just part of it, because its a recovery thing as well, so we need a new one compiled I believe.

I know its not fixed because I tried it... :(

Is there a way to adjust the speed of the wifi connection or adjust the way cm7 handles data over wifi? I didn't have this problem on sense roms.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oxeneers:
This might sound crazy but CM7 has changed my GPS from unusable to amazing. In Sense, I had to wait at least a minute for a lock. Now, in multiple locations, I now get a lock within 15 seconds as opposed to minutes in previous Sense tries.

I did the GPSCLR thing on the EPST system in Sense before frlashbing CM7. So stoked. Thanks toast.

I remember seeing something about gps libs being built from source now...I think it made a world of difference too
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Mind telling me how you accomplished this? I flashed the ROM, GApps, a kernel and theme already. So I'll have to wipe everything (before making a back up) then do whatever you stated and then flash everything again right?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
Oh, I tried all that stuff. Believe me. My data is still in the dumps--in multiple locations where I used to reliably get a good 3G signal on this and other devices, I now get a painfully slow 1x signal. I haven't yet had a chance to see whether my 4G data has been affected. Wi-fi works fine.

I nandroid'ed, wiped, flashed ROM + GAPPS, then booted. Then tried to test GPS, which wouldn't even show up in the taskbar at the top - like it wasn't even enabled - but it was. So, I backed up then restored my Sense ROM and got a GPS lock (took literally 2+ minutes) then went into the EPST app and did the ##GPSCLR## thing. I forget the code but it's somewhere on the forums. It asked for my MSL code and then once it cleared GPS data or whatever it does, the phone restarted. But when it was booting up, I rebooted into recovery and restored my CM7 ROM and GPS was so ****ing amazing. It is so amazing.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Thanks I'll try that.

My GPS at the moment is not that bad actually. Just not a specific lock. It "functions" at least.

EDIT: Before doing any of the above mentioned steps, when out of my apartment, turned on Maps, then had set to give directions to another location (via walking) and it locked my exact location almost instantly. I was however, messing around with the GPS Status app before launching/test Maps and Navigation.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] c00ller:
If you check this changelog, http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=speedy you can see before downloading whether or not fixes like that have been implemented. If they are, it would start with "Speedy: ..."

It looks like nothing for the Shift has changed at all since the final, so I see no reason to go through the trouble of flashing 39 or 40 (unless you put the notification bar on the bottom, then it fixes the stuttering, but that's it).
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Compusmurf:
Nothing SPECIFIC has change, other things that are universal HAVE changed.

Also, if you use rom manager, how is there any trouble flashing the nightlies? No wiping, so no need to reinstall anything. With backup, takes, what, 15 mins max?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] SilentSummer:
I'll give that a shot, it's about the only thing I haven't tried.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] c00ller:
Even the universal changes in 39 and 40 don't affect the Speedy AFAIK (again, unless you care about notification bar stuttering). They're things for the Droid, language/translations, APN things that don't affect us...

Also, I don't know about you but I don't leave my setup as-is after a ROM flash. I go through the trouble of removing apks I don't want, change Effect_Tick.ogg, manually edit the build.prop, etc..

Correct me if I'm wrong but unless you care about notification bar stuttering, there is absolutely no reason to flash 39 and especially 40 if you already have CM7 final (unless you're in the very small minority that puts notification bar at the bottom).
