If this hacked phone.apk isn't causing problems for anyone, I don't see why it shouldn't be included for now...or at least until they get a real fix. People like me would benefit while those who had no problem will not suffer.

Seems that replacing the phone.apk in the nightly .zip is all that is needed before flashing. Still gonna do some more testing before I call it officially good in my book.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Mute/Unmute is gone from what I can tell.

On another note, the last couple of nightly's have had voice mail notifications that play the notification in a continuous loop until you pull down the notification menu? Does anyone else know anything about this? It's kinda annoying.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
It is a vibrant specific hack. I'm not sure how the overlay works in the cm7 repo with java files. That's the only way it would get included. Nightlies are built from source.

I tried contacting Atin via g+ but i don't think he wanted to talk to me :(
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Sorry man, I have not had nor have I heard of anyone else having this problem on cm7.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
was experiencing that after first flashing... then it mysteriously cleared itself up. However my visiual voicemal no longer works :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Nice work Roman!

I know that atin tried to implement something similar (I believe it still is incorporated in builds), what did you do differently.

Again, nice work.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
I literally toggled mute on then off after a phone call is answered
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, I never use visual voicemail, but I hope this somehow clears itself up. It's gonna get on my nerves when someone calls me. I'm on nightly 47 if anyone cares. Mostly, I'm just glad the mute/unmute issue is gone for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
I have the same problem with the email app notifications (using exchange for work).

Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA for Android app.
[Vibrant Android Development] Robert8457:
It's been talked about so much but i haven't seen any dev recognize the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
I also haven't seen any substantial evidence of the problem or logs to support it...

Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA for Android app.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I just went into menu/settings/call settings and turned off and back on the voicemail notifications. Seems to have fixed the issue of the notification sound looping.

Battery on 47 is draining like water through a sieve.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Why does battery life suck!!!

39 had best battery life, why don't the others :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Robert8457:
my evidence is on any rom other than miui/cm7 my wifi doesn't disconnect

but i still love cm7
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I wish I knew. That is the last thing for me to feel that this rom is perfect on my phone. Speed... clean... effective... oh, did I mention....speed.

[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Camera is not working. I tread clearing data on Applications. Tried wiping cache and wiping Dalvik cache. Nada. I guess I'll have to factory reset.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Did factory reset. Camera still not working. Black screen and then force close prompt.

I installed or did nothing after the factory reset... just opened the camera. I guess its Odin time?
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Try flashing the 5/03 gapps. That fixed my camera.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Just finishing with a fresh Odin. Will try that if its broken now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Camera issue is indeed fixed with the 0503 Gapps

Nenamark gets 44.5FPS with the default kernel. It then drops to 32.9FPS with the Kang kernel... gonna try Platypus.

-edit-

37FPS with Platypus... weird. I wonder if I should just buy Voodoo Sound and stick to the stock kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Alright I found that installing any of the optional kernels wrecks the camera software. In order to make it work again I gotta reinstall the ROM to get the original kernel. Then the camera will work but I dont get a preview image. I do get it back after wiping cache and dalvik. Will keep testing to see exactly what the deal is.
[Vibrant Android Development] javacody:
I cannot receive MMS either. I can send MMS to myself, but cannot download messages from others.

Is there a way to increase tethering through-put?
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
Did anyone manage to get call recording to work?

Every time I try to record a call, I hear some weird sound in the recording instead of the call.

It has always been like that in any other ROM but I thought maybe the devs can get it to work?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
CM7 does not support call recording. And it will most probably never support call recording due to legal issues in many places that CyanogenMod runs.
[Vibrant Android Development] Joeynathan:
I can't seem to find the efsbackup.zip it's just a link to the rom , the kernel, and the radio .... I can't seem to find a step by step that works I keep getting a soft brick .....then I have to start all over from eclair ...help please
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
The install does that for you. That's why you can't find it.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
For reference with other ROMS,

I get 50.3FPS on the same benchmark using Froyo 2.2.1 Darky 9.5 @ 1.0Ghz (stock)

I get 62.0FPS overclocked @ 1.42Ghz.

Moral of the story, it seems overclocking doesn't touch the GPU much and the GPU is the main component stressed. Also, CM7 is still not quite up to Froyo in 3D (though very close now).

Note: I'm posting this for reference only.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tynen:
I agree that the 3d has gotten a lot better in CM7 then it was. But still not on par with froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
This is actually a problem from the start. Its happens only on cm7 and miui. Its because the wifi drivers are weak. You guys probably just started using cm7 and havent had it yet, but it does happen often. Im only saying because I have no data plan and need wifi to work properly.
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
i dont think that post about gps that is updated daily is working so well :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ke.laguardia:
any chance that the messenging icon would come back as an option for the slider lockscreen?

i'm using handcent and it looks like i can only use the cyanogen icon or the normal custom app icon, but it doesnt fit with match with the cm7 theme i have
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Been using it for months. Probably since at least March. I had always just assumed the wifi signal is weak. I think the signal strength just isn't great and it's not that it's cutting in and out with a good signal. Just assumed it was the phone itself since I've been travelling and have been able to test it on a known connection compared to another ROM. That being said, it's never really struck me as a problem as much as others.

Nightly #48 is UP and Posted!
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
The phone apk hack cannot be put into CM7 as that is a common apk for all devices. I have been looking into the code to see what setMute() actually does underneath so I can do it in a device specific manner in Vibrant code. But need to hear from people for whom the APK doesn't work (after they've installed it correctly that is).

And I don't really respond to anything on G+ or anywhere unless it is someone I already know and work with - I'm very anti-social when I'm coding otherwise. Even if I saw your invite, I most probably ignored it without thinking about it. Sorry.

Wifi disconnects - do people on other kernels still have the issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
As long as they are following the gpl, they should be fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hung0702:
I'm assuming this regards MIUI. If so, you misunderstand the sentiment atinm was trying to get across. Nothing that MIUI does would be considered illegal, but it's highly disrespectful and does not honor the spirit of open-source development.

They need to release their code, because they benefited from source code that was made available to everyone. They receive donations which are intended to be recognition of their good work. The legality of the situation is not the crux.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewidtfeldt:
I have in the past on both neo and glitch.
[Vibrant Android Development] adyscorpius:
Its something like Linux Mint. Its built over Ubuntu, customized, themed, features added and removed. Now unlike MIUI, they keep their source open too !!!

I make something, borrowing almost 95% from you, and by adding 5%, if I'm adding value, and reselling, I should either provide source to you for benefiting from it or credit you for the 95% I took from you... Thats the reason why fixes appear first on Cyanogenmod and later on MIUI, unless its a fix for their own mistakes/programming errors !!!
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Is there a way to overlay Java files, similarly to how they overlay the config files?

Edit: on the other hand, couldn't we add a value into the config file and just add in code based off that? Or maybe something like

private static final boolean VIBRANT = Build.DEVICE.contains("vibrantmtd");

then

if(VIBRANT) {
PhoneUtils.setMute(true); PhoneUtils.setMute(false);
}

maybe...
[Vibrant Android Development] Hung0702:
Yes, without the reselling part, this is the issue with MIUI. If I make a work of art that it's supposed to be free to represent freedom, would be annoyed if someone incorporated it into their own art, then prevented anyone else from that art, even though it is sufficiently distinct from my own.

MIUI should not be using CM7 work if they don't want to release their source.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
No, at least not that I know of. But that isn't the correct way to fix this anyway. Phone app is generic code. It calls device specific code underneath - this code is hidden by some api layers until it finally gets to device specific code, but the hacking should be done at that point. It is harder, but cleaner. I tried to do it in the kernel, but that didn't help and I haven't spent the time to figure out everything that the upper layers are doing to the drivers to mute/unmute. It should just be a disable_rec_main_mic() and enable, but that doesn't seem to be all. I'll revisit it today.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
To make things clear, I have used about 15 different nightly builds of CM7. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not that new to it. I have also used many other roms and have not noticed a real difference in my wifi. Secondly, I do not have a data plan either so I rely completely on wifi. Don't go making assumptions about others because your phone sucks. That gets you nowhere fast.
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
I edited my post for possible code for the repo

I agree, it should be a lot cleaner, but if it works, it works. At least for the time being. I don't like doing things "hacky" ways, but sometimes it's hard to avoid it in Android :D
[Vibrant Android Development] vud911:
Nope. No wifi disconnect for me. Only had one issue where when going to sleep when I turn my screen off, the wifi disconnects so I would not see any new emails when I open my phone. Changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never" fixed that right up for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] vud911:
Maybe you had the same issue as me. Wifi disconnects when screen is turned off. Try going to Settings->Wireless & network->Wifi Settings->Press the Menu button->Advance->Wifi Sleep Policy->Set to Never.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Given that we know that mute/unmute in the phone app fixes incoming calls (for the phone app you modify), it is just a question of finding out what this actually does underneath at the device level and fixing it so that changing your phone app to another like MIUIs still keeps your mute/unmute bug dead and so the fix works for everything like MIUI etc. We have all the code for this - someone just has to spend the time to fix it. I haven't taken the time on this because I cannot duplicate the problem, which makes it impossible to test and debug. If you have taken the time on this, you can try to do more and fix it by enabling logging in the phone app, following the code down to the device layers and seeing what you can do there.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikeku:
Dumb question (don't laugh at me please) CM7

By mistake when I was receiving a call I long pressed the hang up and accidentally block a number ... now whatever that person try to call me my phone just hung the call , Please ... How can I fix this ... THX ...

NEVER MIND .. just find it ..
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Specifically, the proprietary samsung RIL is causing massive headaches for the devs. It is difficult to reverse engineer and for some reason (as previously stated by atinm) samsung used framework hooks that are not only proprietary, but apparently counter-intuitive. Most of what we have in terms of RIL (I may be mistaken) has been derived or engineered from i9000 source, which in itself is a kick in the nuts, because the the t959 has different chips for both gps and radio. Thats why when Froyo iterations were first floating around in December, battery life was substantially less than stock... locked down RIL.

For the sake of experiment... turn off all of your syncing data (facebook, twitter, emails etc...) and use your phone for tasks that don't require data (i.e. gaming, texting, ebook reading, photo editing etc...) for about an hour. Note your batt percentage before and after.

Charge you battery back to the same starting percentage, do the same activities under the same conditions... EXCEPT this time toggle off mobile data. After the hour note your batt percentage.

I have tried this several times and my results have been that I get roughly 3x the drain with mobile data enabled... even though I am not using any data enabled/intensive tasks.

The devs need t959 source. Samsung needs to code cleaner. We need to remain patient.

Pretty remarkable what they have accomplished thus far.

Fwiw I've never encountered the mute unmute bug so I don't want hacks in general code.
[Vibrant Android Development] twistkill:
thanks birg! the "fix" works like a charm :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
That's why they haven't already put in :)

Atin, I'd be willing to put some time into this, I'm more of a java guy so i'm not sure where to look under the layers. If you could point me in the direction, I'd check it out. (is it in the kernel?)

[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
Been getting an issue that has been happening more recently. I've been noticing that nearly everything Google is force closing. Then the Google framework FC.

Has this happened to any one else or does any one know what could be causing this.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
You will basically need to enable DBG in Phone app, and see what gets called. Add some more as you find the lowest layers. Eventually you'll hit something that will go into something in the framework, like audioflinger most probably. That's where things get interesting - I don't know what it will do there, but will finally write something to send a command into the kernel. There will be a hardware dependent layer in this area, that's what we'd want to muck in.

But I might be able to just fix this in the kernel. Will put up something soon to test that doesn't touch anything except the kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Most probably won't get fixed until we have Gingerbread source code for Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I always set the sleep policy to never and still have the issue. The wifi disconnects when the screen is on. When im watching a video on youtube it gives me an error in the middle of the video and tells me to touch to retry the video.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
Yeah man this happened to me before. What I did was flash the Gapps again and sign into my Google account and it fixed it for me. I kept getting a sync error in Google that was f/cing all my Google apps.

[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
Atinm,

Please advise as to the best way to do this. There are over 600 thousand views on this thread. Samsung has only sold around a million units thus far. What can we all do, even knowing the nda issues involved?

I am about to talk to some "friends" to see if they can "find" it, but please tell us a better way before I go down that path.
[Vibrant Android Development] ewidtfeldt:
Trying this now will test all day and post back later because I too suffered the wifi disconnect I thought it was a known issue actually.

Edit: one router seems good. Played a whole youtube video without crapping out. Will test on second and more notoriously dropy router tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
I remember the wifi being fixes at one time. The fix was that they updated the wifi drivers. Then they updated it again and it broke. I think it was sometime right before cm7 being official.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
I have no 'better' way than just asking for it. They cannot do it due to NDAs - so asking doesn't really help. We've asked.

[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
that happens to me from time to time, too. sometimes clearing the cache /dalvik doesn't help -- neither does reflashing gApps or fixing permissions.

what works for me is nandroiding back to a known working build, reflashing the current nightly, then restoring missing apps with titanium. and this works well for me. good luck!
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
Yeah I know. I dont why it only happens to cm7 and miui. I have provided dmesg and logcats and they couldnt find the problem, so I dont know if it will ever get fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
yes.

2wire support
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman818:
You know a way to update my wifi router firmware?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Not without knowing the model number of your modem/router/gateway or your service provider (sometimes the service provider has support).

PM me and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction. This is getting off topic.;)
