Nope didn't even show the GPS icon in the notification bar. Also I couldn't get a signal in my house on sense and now I can, In seconds when out side it would take minutes. Finally happy with my phone. And battery wise I really couldn't tell you since I have been rebooting a lot for various reasons.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Sounds like a get out of jail card to me :) oh you said I "couldn't" go the bar, sorry honey, damn cm7!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MisterDonut:
I'm currently on MR2.5. is there anyway to have battery life.. i'm on dream kernel. but can't seem to tweak it to battery saving.. battery not saving as much as before compare to the first day on cm7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
Battery life is amazing

I could have easily gone another couple hours. This is with the extended 2750 batt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] strongergravity:
I did so yesterday...and I won't even have 4g for years!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ad78:
my only issue is the location. how can i fix this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Move.

Just kidding. Last I checked that was being worked on as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
If you mean GPS a longer workaround would be load a Sense based ROM turn GPS on and aquire a signal. Boot into recovery and wipe everything and then load CM7/AOSP ROM with GPS still on and apparently that makes GPS work.

I've come from Sense based ROMs and never leave GPS on and I've always gotten quick GPS fixes with AOSP-based ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Enable wifi when using anything location based. You don't have to connect to wifi just have it enabled.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] major_works:
This GPS fix worked surprisingly well for me. Since doing it, I have gone back and forth between CM7 and OMFGB about four times and rebooted a bunch of other times and the fix has stuck. The only thing is that I didn't do any wiping. I just did a restore of a Das BAMF Sense ROM, got a GPS fix, and restored back to CM7. GPS has worked great ever since on both AOSP ROMs; this was sometime last week. I get GPS fixes in 5 secs max.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Nice! You running the MR1 or MR2+ version? If MR2+ which radio you rocking?

Edit: I think I'm going to stick with MR1 as I have had zero issues with the signal strength I get or the speeds I've seen.

*Downloading MR1 RC1.1 currently! Excited to see CM7 again!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
I know you weren't asking me directly.....but currently I'm running GBMR2.5 and onestly, I haven't been able to tell a difference between any of the radios mr1 or 2. I get solid GPS fixes, solid data on 3g or 4g (I run 3g the majority of the time just to save battery), but still have to toggle to get 4g.

So far....real good. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
I just loaded CM7 back on after being on a Sense ROM. For the 4G toggle do you mean if you are on 3G when you get into a 4G area you have to turn airplane mode on then back off? I'm typically using CDMA/EvDo auto. So if I switch to CDMA/LTE I have to toggle airplane mode on then off?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
No airplane mode toggle is needed, only toggle from CDMA/Evdo to CDMA/LTE+Evdo from Settings>Wireless&Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode.

I've got very good 4g coverage at home, but work is hit or miss, so rather than have my phone sit and switch all day, I just toggle to CDMA/Evdo during the day, and then, IF needed, switch over to ...../LTE+Evdo when I get home.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] reuuin88:
Its going great, thx for the countless hours of work poured into this for us. I've been on RC.3+++ till now and can't stand any other rom I'm spoiled to my aosp world. Wtb themed 4g icon like everyone else lol, I know that's a bit low on the totem pole of the numerous other tasks at hand but it sure would make me a happy camper.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spikelangelo:
I want that bug! I've been trying to get notifications through the phone while its plugged in to my car speakers. If its a setting which one is it?

Is this what the notification focus does? I never was sure what that did never could configure it to do anything different.

Also, does anyone use the car dock from verizon? I really loved while on stock you plug it in and it loads the car dock up. I can't get this to work on CM7. Suggestions? I've downloaded a trial of tasker but if an option or dock replacement does this that would neater than convincing tasker to do it for me.

I'm using mr2.5 with dream kernel. 3/4 through my day with 47% battery left. default kernel/ cpu settings.

[edit] oh and 4g is strong, toggle works every time
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stoudtlr:
I've got the car dock and haven't had any issues with it. But, I would also like a way to switch where the notifications come from. My phone automatically connects Bluetooth phone and media so notifications don't come thru the phone speakers, but if I have my stereo set to Sirius or anything other than phone I don't get the notifications thru the car speakers either. A switch to make notifications always come thru the phone would be nice.

Global video playback is broken for me. Videos (online, and offline stored on umicroSD) play for half a second and stop. Youtube, PowerAMP, built-in movie player, ES video player, Netflix, everything does the same thing.

In the stock CM7 browser, while on a webpage, press menu key >> more >> Settings >> Select User Agent. Android or Froyo = mobile view, the rest are various desktop browsers. Hope this helps

Boot Loop

So I'm from the Captivate forums running CM7, and was working to get CM7 on my friends TBolt

Was able to get him rooted, and on bamf rom to get GPS lock.. However his phone is just boot loops the CM7 logo once installed.

We are using RC1.1, MR2 Radio.

Cleaned the caches before and after flash for good measure.

Not bricked as I can flash out of HBOOT to another ROM.

Am I missing a step anywhere?

Searched this thread quite a bit for boot loops, and it doesn't seem to be a common problem..

My gut tells me is I'm missing a step with the file structure, knowing cm7's file structure is different the most roms..

Any ideas?

EDIT - FIXED-

For anyone else, this got me up and running.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ilovesoad:
I bootlooped once on rc 3 or so for a few mins. Wipe /system and Reflash. Should be good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bL33d:
Try wiping bat stats and davlik along with going into mounts and storage and formatting system then wipe data/cache and reinstall cm7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wrich73:
Lost my 4G today, everything was working fine until about 10 AM then it just stopped and can't get an LTE signal. My fiance's phone is running MR2 radio/same set up as me on CM7 and her's works just fine.

I did a data wipe, factory reset, fresh install still nothing..what gives? Could something have happened on Verizon's end to bork my LTE? I am flashing a Sense ROM now to see if I can get a lock, so frustrating!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zack84a:
This worked.. Appreciate the help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
Anyone else notice when screen locked for a while a huge lag in unlock and having 20 some odd apps running that task killer ends? After killing tasks tho, lock and unlock work perfectly!

Never had this issue with cm7 on my MT4G running the exact same apps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrewc513:
Don't use a task killer with an AOSP Gingerbread rom, it's not really necessary anymore. See if removing that task killer (whichever you're using) helps with the issue.

On another note-- The Showcase CM7 rom just got updated, fingers crossed for the Tbolt soon!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] funkybside:
Running rc1.1 w mr1 radio, and while home I'm on wifi. When I lock my phone for a while, when I unlock I notice the wifi icon is off and the 3/4g is on. Wifi immediately reconnects Once unlocked. Is this normal?

Depends on what your wifi sleep policy is set to. You can set it to never sleep in advanced wifi settings or in spare parts

What do you mean the tbolt just got showcase does this mean update tonight sorry for the nov question as I don't know much but love cm7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrewc513:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dc iz 2 legit:
Yeah can't wait:) now that the ril is fixed I hope it also means stable signal bars for 3g/4g
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tbot:
I'll give that a shot...although I do notice improved performance after killing what's running.

Btw I had advanced task killer free.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gixxertriplezero:
Same thing happens to me if I reboot in a 4g area. Ill loose all data have to switch to cdma evdo auto just to get 3g. Then when I get home which is out of a 4g area I can switch back to LTE evdo cdma auto.and.ill pick up 3 g. Then in the morning go back to 4g area and all is fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wrich73:
Hmm, interesting. I have pretty good 4G at home too, guess I need to drive somewhere without 4G and give that a shot, thanks!

The lockscreen lag seemed to be from a setcpu screen off profile I had too low. At 184/184 id have lockscreen lag. I upped the max to 245, and now maybe once a day I'll notice it, sometimes not. Check your clock settings as others have said.

Try switching back to MR1 ROM+radio. I also had battery life reminiscent of early CM7 on MR2/2.5. I switched to the MR1 variant of the latest release and battery life looks like last release all over again. :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] julian.o.neill:
One thing to consider... A 100% charged Lithium Ion battery does not exist. Lithium Ion batteries start loosing usable capacity after manufacturing has ended. A good Lithium ion battery will store between 90% to 99% of its design charge (the mAh number on the battery). The usable charge amount goes down with battery age. The battery itself can not determine what the 100% usable charge amount is. The operating system (Android) has to use a combination of past battery history along with current/voltage charging trends to determine the 100% usable charge amount. This process is why Lithium Ion battery charging slows considerably after around 90% of design capacity. This is also why Android considers 90%+ charged batteries as fully charged (green light) and why charging will hang at a certain percentage and then jump to 100%.

A good feature for future Android revisions would be more fine grained controls over the charging process. Options to change parameters such as end charge hang time, low battery charge percentage, and green light charge percentage would be useful.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] orcsbane13:
All aosp roms led turns green at 90% and above.

I'm sure I'm just missing this but I can't find it. Could you point an old noob in the right direction? Also what's the consensus on this? I have also noticed that wifi goes to sleep but I'm not sure that's a bad thing. It's annoying on the nook, since there's no 3g to fall back to.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] funkybside:
Thank you both, found it. Never even considered hitting menu from there.

So why would you ever want wifi to sleep if it just falls back to 3/4g, when the vzw radios are more power hungry (and for me, slower) than wifi?

Screen off min and max is set to 368.

Edit: It was on interactive and I changed it to performance (even though 368 max and min interactive should still always keep it on 368. It seems less laggy now not sure why but oh well. Hopefully it stays running smooth.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] ncwildcat:
You do realize performance basically pegs the CPU at max
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ricwhic414:
I had that issue then reflashed the rom and it went away. But the one issue I can not figure out is the 3g and 4g issue. I get reception using the mr2 radio but no 3g or 4g.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Yes I'm aware but if the min is 368 and the max is 368 it can't go higher than 368.

I know this has been discussed many times before, but what combination radio and kernel is everyone using? I hate having to toggle 4G off, then on in order to get it working everytime...

I'm currently on CM7 for MR2, with the included slayher #36 kernel. Tried dreamskernel, drod kernel and lean kernel, same issue... Also tried CM7 for MR1 with the stock radio...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
Did you toggle? You first have to go in and toggle to get it up and running. It will then work very well, but occasionally you will have to toggle again. It's one of the things we have to put up with until the RIL gets fully worked out.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MrKleen1:
This is one of the things we have to deal with until the RIL gets fully worked out. This is pretty much the only thing keeping this rom from being the mac daddy... lol

It will get there I'm sure and I agree and wish it would speed up since Cyanogenmod just runs so much better and leaner than Sense roms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Overall it runs pretty damn good though! 4G handoff isn't huge for me because I'm not always in 4G areas but I do get me some 4G love every now and then on travels and it would be nice to not have to toggle but it's worth it to me to be away from Sense.

For the person asking about hiding gallery pictures check out PhotoVault it's like $1 in the market and well worth it!

Can you explain how to toggle it. I saw a thread that tried to explain it but it doesnt really make sense to me.

Setting min and max at the same value used to cause a problem. Not sure if it does anymore but at that time I just set the max at the next slot up and used the powersave governor to lock at the min. Although lately on the Tbolt for screenoff profiles and such I've been setting 245/368 ondemand and haven't had any problems.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Absolute_Zero:
Yea, this happened to me as well. Although just rotating to landscape and back to portrait should reload it. Not sure why GPS problems would cause the widget not to load but I noticed BW has problems with it's weather somewhat often for me (thinks I'm a thousand miles away) even when I have a lock in maps and status.

Out of curiosity, what is your setup in terms of radio/kernel? I'm in a thoroughly blanketed 4G area, and with sense based roms, I was getting 20+ Mbps, both on the phone and while tethered. On CM7/MR2.5/included kernel, I'm getting about 8-10 Mbps on the phone, and 1Mbps or less while tethered.
