[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cpdbolinho:
Cyanogen 7 (Gingerbread 2.3.3)

Current version: test2.7GA - 25/April/2011

Hey folks,

I'm starting a new thread on my Gingerbread build to help me keep better track of releases (as I can't edit the first post in the existing topic). I'll keep a changelog in this first post, along with the latest news and links. When Motafoca resumes his development, we can merge the topics again, or keep them separate if we decide to maintain separate builds. Either way, we'll share the source for anyone to hack

Special thanks to Motafoca* for all the "help" given by constantly interrupting me during development...

WARNING!

* Please read the notes below before using this ROM!

* This is alpha-quality software, and some functions are still not available compared to the Froyo builds!

Release list/changelog:

* test2.7GA (fixed) - 25/Apr/2011 - fixed 3G, Bluetooth, root, ADWLauncher scrolling speed (fixed permissions)

* test2.6GA - 24/Apr/2011 - fixed lcd density (now 120); added low dpi resources to fix various graphical problems (such as lock widget, boot animation, overlapping widgets, badly sized icons); added FM Radio app (but hardware is not yet working).

* test2.5GA - 23/Apr/2011 - first release.

Instructions:

1. Flash .tar file in Odin with One Package option.

2. When recovery boots, do data/cache wipe.

Working:

* GPS

* Bluetooth (but needs testing)

* 3G

* Sensors

* Video

* Audio (recording and playback)

* Touchscreen (no multitouch, don't ask because I'm not working on it)

* Root

Partially working:

* Headphones - Samsung headphones work, regular headphones do not.

* WiFi

-- fully functional, but WiFi signal strength icon does not work correctly.

-- automatic reconnection doesn't always work correctly

* Telephony

-- on first boot, answering a call with hardware keys will cause a reboot. Can be worked around if you make a call and hang up after first boot.

-- While in a call, the wrong microphone is being used (the top microphone is activated, not the bottom)

Not working/unknown:

* EXT4 app2sd (regular Gingerbread app2sd -> FAT32 probably works)

* USB Storage Mode - see errata.

Errata:

1. You must use the Google Talk app to sign into your Google Account. You can then select and download the Google apps (Gmail, Maps, Youtube, etc.) that you desire.

2. The Market app will not work until you have first signed into your account (using Google Talk).

4. Some games (e.g. Angry Birds Rio, FPSE) are currently unstable due to audio bugs. This will be fixed as soon as possible.

4. USB Storage Mode doesn't work automatically when you connect to PC. You can use these workarounds:

adb push C:\your\file /mnt/sdcard/

adb install c:\your\file.apk

adb pull /mnt/sdcard/your/file

* He knows I'm only kidding . This build uses Motafoca's kernel and framework tweaks to fix telephony problems.

Hi People of XDA, i downloaded clockwork mod from rom manager not long ago and found out that if i hold the down volume button it takes you to something called HBOOT and some modes like fast boot mode, simlock and recovery and was just wondering what can i do with this and how and what potentials does it have??? any help would be great!:)
[Click General] charlesdg:
It's like the BIOS of a computer. HBOOT allows you to boot into recovery (only if you rooted your phone and flashed a recovery).

And you know that a recovery allows you to load roms, perform backups and restores, wipes data, cache and a lot of other utilities.
[Click General] jwils96:
What does simlock do?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sublimaze:
i had a great experience with both of these ebayers:

extra stock battery ($19) from this seller

wall charger ($4.89) from this seller

shipping for each was free, and i received both items within a week, in excellent condition. both the battery & charger work great. i have read many reviews about the seidio extended battery, and i don't think it is worth $50 (plus another $5-8 for a charger)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
That's about right for the charger. But if you aren't in a hurry, you can get 3 batteries and a wall charger here for $12.

It just takes 2-3 weeks to get here. I used them (same type) for my DInc and already have a set for my Bolt and they work the same as stock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sublimaze:
i saw lots of multiple battery deals on ebay, but i don't trust cheap knockoffs. i got a cheap generic battery for my nexus one and it lasted about 2/3 as long the stock battery
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
Stock battery: $19

Cheap battery: $2.75 (ish)

By your 2/3 estimate, you would pay up to $12.67 for a knock off battery, so by buying these cheap knock-offs, you are saving almost $10 for each battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sublimaze:
perhaps so, but i wanted a battery that would last at least as long as the stock battery. i didn't want my phone to get low during the day, replace it with the knockoff, and wake up late for work the next day because the knockoff died during the night. i value having a single, consistent OEM battery more than getting a group of low capacity batteries at the lowest possible price

if you are better served with multiple cheap knockoff batteries, then by all means get what suits you best. i just wanted to share my ebay experience with anyone looking for a reliable seller of OEM batteries, because there are tons of shysters selling worthless crap online
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BennyJr:
I had a cheap knock off for my D1 and it died so quick...never again buying a knockoff
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
Oh, you mean capacity wise? I find mine to be right on par with the stock battery. I thought you meant that they'll die in 9 months rather than a year (which I am fine with).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] lippstuh:
different strokes for different folks.

i bought generic ones off ebay for my gf's droidx. a week later the phone ran extremely hot on generic's. i'm guessing the chip in the generic batteries didn't work.

i paid full retail for my phone, im not going to try to save a few bucks on something as essential as a battery. $20 for something that will power your phone for another 10 hours EVERYDAY? worth it.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jaxidian:
Haha, the guy wants like $93 for the charger now. I think he typed in an extra 0 or something!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Droopie28:
Has anyone bought these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Thunderbolt...382478?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb78b124e

THEIR RED!! lol sorry
[Thunderbolt Accessories] WorldOfJohnboy:
$95+ now... I asked a question to see if it's a typo or not. (I basically asked what makes his $90 more valuable than other ones on eBay...)

I got a charger, but mine came from Hong Kong and took about 20 days to get to me. I wouldn't have cared to pay a couple of extra bucks to get one in 2 days instead, but $90 bucks is a different story!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] phooky:
thanks for the advice/links! i just bought both of these :D

i noticed that both of these sellers are located in brooklyn, ny... seems like a verrry odd coincidence that both of the sellers you recommended are located in the same borough (the usa is a huge place!). also seemed strange that you linked to the sellers' profiles, instead of the actual items.

so tell us, are you the seller? or are you just friends with the person who runs both of these ebay accounts?

either way, i bought em both. mainly because i live in brooklyn too, so the shipping shouldn't take too long.

thanks again! make sure to leave me good feedback :p also, any chance i can just come pick up both of the items so i don't need to wait for it to go through usps? you'll save some shipping money that way too!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sublimaze:
i also thought it was odd that both sellers were in brooklyn. i am not the seller and have no connection with either seller, i just thought another xda member or two would benefit from my experience with them. i'm glad to see you found some useful items :cool:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jaxidian:
Just to follow-up here. I bought one of this guy's batteries and am not happy with what I got. I believe it's not an OEM battery but a counterfeit battery (the void sticker is wrong, and other things aren't identical to my OEM battery). Additionally, it's somewhat defective. Once it hits ~30%, it dies and cannot power the phone any longer. I've gone on multiple charge cycles now and it's predictable that my phone will just randomly die somewhere between 30-34% battery left. If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't even attempt. After charging it for ~30-45 seconds, then I'm able to turn it back on and it immediately reports ~30-34% battery but will die if I pull the charger off of it. It's fine between 35%-100% though.

All-in-all, I have pretty much paid $20 for a mostly-useless battery. I've sent the guy a message - we'll see if he fixes the situation. But at this time, I definitely cannot recommend this guy and, in fact, I somewhat dis-recommend him. I see absolutely no reason to go with him over the $9 for 2 batteries + charger people.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jaxidian:
They've responded to me and are offering either a replacement or a refund. Of course I have to ship the defective one back on my own dime (that's not right imo - if they ship me a defective product, it should be their dime that fixes the problem).

So they're at least doing most of what they should do in this scenario. Not a "bad" buyer in all regards, but bad in that 1) they sent me a counterfeit product while claiming it's OEM and 2) they won't cover return shipping the defective/counterfeit product that they sent me. I'll never shop with them again but rather than advising others to not shop with them, I'll simply advise them that the one product I bought from them was a counterfeit while it was advertised as OEM, so be informed if you buy from them.

EDIT:

I noticed in their return policy that they say they'll charge a 15% restocking fee for any refunded item. I asked and they will NOT be charging me this fee. So they're doing right in this aspect. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
I've had the G2X since Saturday and I'm having a few "strange" issues. I admit it could be that I'm an idiot but I've tried everything I can think of and still have the issue(s).

Bluetooth, so I attach my Jawbone Era to my phone and guess what? It works, however the phone doesn't like the Sync in my truck (2011 F150). It will pair just fine and everything, but when I go to make a call or after about 5-10 minutes it simply disconnects. The interesting thing is this, the BT logo on my phone at the top of the screen still shows connected, BT settings says it's not connected, and when you try to disable / re-enable BT it just hangs there forever and you have to reboot the phone to get BT working again. Didnt have this issue at all with my Vibrant 3G and Sync.

I've also noticed that some have a battery issue with cell standby sucking the battery dry. Here's my results unser settings, about phone, battery use:

Cell Standby 27%

Bluetooth 27%

Phone idle 21%

Voice Calls 17%

Display 9%

Hotspot, the phone has the built in hotspot feature (which rocks!) but I have noticed that sometimes when I enable the hotspot I have to go and turn data off and back on for it to actually get internet. Works fine after that, and I also had to do the same on my Vibrant. Any ideas why? Just curious...

Thanks everyone! If I can get the BT issue fixed I'd be a super happy man.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Don't have those problems, but no need to warranty the phone!

Just go to the store or call CS and exchange it!

You're still within your 14 days of exchange, after that you'll have to warranty it!

G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] radarweave:
Ok so get this, I can't exchange the phone till I get back to my home town in a WEEK! This is total crap....

But I did notice something very odd!

I changed the device name of my phone under the BT settings to ARES.... phone worked fine and paired, then of course flipped out and died.

Rebooted phone went back into BT settins and it defaulted back to "T-Mobile G2X" so i left it like that, paired again... and of course it blew up....

Rebooted AGAIN and my original name was back in BT settings! (Ares) with no devices paired.... paired again, same issue, reboot, and went back to "T-Mobile G2X" for the device name and no devices pairs....

I'm starting to think this is a software issue??? Why else would it not remember the name i put in there??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitingChaos:
Phone: T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream

Recovery installed: RA-dream-v1.7.0

SPL installed: 1.33.0013d

Radio installed: 2.22.28.25

I was trying to install CM6 stock and ended up with a reboot loop (2708 issue?). I wanted to go with the "official" CyanogenMod 6 for documentation reasons.

I found information on "SpoofSPL" to get stock CM6 to work. The instructions for use are rather poor, and I haven't been able to find any information that helped me with it.

SpoofSPL:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9068311&postcount=84

The instructions seem to say "just flash it". Ok. When? Before installing the ROM? After?

I tried this:

- wiped device ("fastboot system erase -w", etc)

- installed SpoofSPL via Recovery

- Typed "reboot recovery", per on-screen instructions (via "adb shell")

- installed CM6

* fail * (reboot loop)

- wiped device ("fastboot system erase -w", etc)

- installed SpoofSPL via Recovery, but did not reboot.

- installed CM6

* fail * (reboot loop)

- wiped device ("fastboot system erase -w", etc)

- installed SpoofSPL via Recovery, but did not reboot.

- installed CM6

- installed SpoofSPL again (I saw a post where someone said do it last)

* fail * (reboot loop)

What is the correct install method?

Is it possible to *verify* that it even installed or did anything?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
just flash it

all it does is setup your recovery image to pass a kernel command to override the bootloader version so checks in the updater-script pass

BUT it will make no difference to the newer CM 6 ROMs as all of the checks were removed

see this commit

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/5593d2899203ec378c306701788f1c43af9a6935

for the ROM to boot on a 2708/2825 radio then you *must* use a compatible kernel
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitingChaos:
So stock CM6 not booting has nothing to do with my SPL (1.33.0013d), but instead because I'm using Radio 2.22.28.25?

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
if you have problems in installing, you should spoof SPL, if you have problems in booting you most likely need an adapted (2708) kernel.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excision:
im having this problem too
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
stock CM6 doesn't support 2708 or 2825 radio

you must flash a compatible kernel

spoofing the SPL will only let you get round the checks without needing to edit the updater script

but as I mentioned above the checks were removed

CM6 after Nov 27 do not need spoofing

if you guys want to be on the bleeding edge then you must learn to read and understand things before doing.

to help you out I googled

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitingChaos:
I wanted to go with "stock" CyanogenMod since it's one of the few (only?) ROMs that has a "real", dedicated site for it.

It's documented, has a wiki, and it's own forum. From a professional viewpoint, it's the one to get.

Most ROMs and kernels are from "random person X" on "random site Y", have little-to-no documentation, poor or incomplete documentation, "mystery files" packed in, etc. With so many kernels and ROMs posted all over, how am I supposed to know what to use?

Is there some site where I can find what most people use on a G1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Not to drive you away from Cyanogenmod. Have you try looking at SuperAosp? They have a dedicated site and they only support their ROM there only. The only thing is the site is in Spanish. They currently just released Rom SuperAosp 6.0 for HTC Magic & Dream (I have not install it yet) this past weekend. It's supposed to be faster and more stable with the battery (according to the members here that already installed it).

There also have a [ROM]SuperAosp-ST@-DM-2.8.2 GINGERBREAD 2.3.3 forum that keep up the status here for XDA Members.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
xda

and you failed to keep it stock by installing 1.33.0013d

that spl is not directly supported by CM

you must use a compatible kernel - stock cm6 does not have compatible kernel

if you want CM 6

flash it

then flash the kernel I linked

or do your own research

I won't be spoon feeding you again as you just spat it out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
@BitingChaos - Effdee has already provided you with what you need to do. I suggest that you follow it, if CM6 is what you want to use. You needs to have a compatible Radio/SPL to the ROM or it will not work.

Either that then flash other ROM that will be compatible to what Radio/SPL you already have.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderman09:
Make sure the file is named PG05IMG.zip and is on the root of your SD card. Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down and then turn on the phone - will load into bootloader.

Bootloader should automatically see the update, and will ask you to update. Press Volume up when it says to, and let it update. Then, when done, follow instructions on-screen to reboot.

why cant i flash any kernals. ive wiped the devik/cache partitions and still doesnt work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
CM7 is an AOSP rom so make sure the kernel you are flashing is for AOSP based roms. Try a Tiamat kernel. Many of the Netarchy kernels are for Sense-based roms.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Netarchy is a Sense kernel and CM6 snap kernels are for, um, CM6/Froyo. You need to flash a compatible kernel - AOSP Gingerbread. Tiamat is good, SavagedZen is another alternative.

I want to update the kernel now, but I just want to make sure that there isn't some very good reason why I shouldn't stick the voodoo kernel on my vibrant at this point in time? Is the warning in the CM7 thread saying to update to the other kernel at the same time as the ROM due to the fact that I'll just have to reinstall all of my programs or what? Thanks for helping!

Just download and flash like you normally would, nothing odd or weird steps, just download/internal/cwr/flash from sd like normal.

Before you flash, make a nandroid backup in cwr if it makes you feel better :)
