From my experience gps works almost as good as stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Agreed. I tried to use it when it was stock, but... I wound up borrowing somebody's garmin instead
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
according you guys, 39 has improved battery right?

I'll be flashing that in a few minutes.

I got tired of flashing nightlies every day so i'm gonna flash ones that have the good updates from now on. lol.

Torrenting 100gigs + 100MB of CM7 = slow ass internet it takes like 20 mins for CM7 to finish.
[Vibrant Android Development] Droidicus:
Thanks for the suggestion!
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
Thank you for your complete answer I just checked the first two and probably will go with the Glitch, just waiting for their newer update.

Battery Life

Just wanted to share that switching off 3G to EDGE only made my discharge graph almost flat.

Also I am running DroidWall with most of Apps prohibited accessing web. It did not help much but 3G/H seems to be a major factor on this build.

FYI, I am running the latest #39 build on Tmo Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
oh my god.

39 has best battery life, no doubt.

I left phone alone for 1 hour (i take long showers) and it decreased 1% and thats it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Wouldn't turning off gps in settings accomplish the same thing as disabling it in the rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] granduke:
Will BlueTooth GPS receivers still work with gpsd disabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
Updating I'm at 5 hrs 24 mins and still got 84% F YEAH. AWESOME THANKS FOR THE GREAT WORK YOU ALL DO. I figured patience would pay off
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:

[Vibrant Android Development] TR88:
Looking at the changelog, this issue is being taken care of in the next nightly.
[Vibrant Android Development] sublimnl:
One hour showers? Hmmmmm....wonder what's happening there. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Can someone on 39 tell me if the blackscreen issue is random or does it happen frequently . Would you recommend waiting for 40 ?
[Vibrant Android Development] I7oobie:
This has happened to me once already since flashing #39. I'd reccomend #40.

Thats a general cm7 problem for all devices. The wifi drivers are weak and disconnect from time to time.

Clear data under apps settings. That always happens when you restore a nandroid.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
First off. WOW the battery life ****ing amazing compared to other nightly. THANK YOU big guy. Cheers #39 nice!
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
I never had a problem with wifi. Dunno what to say to that.
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
The only problem I had for the last couple of nightly, is 2g and 3g. I turn on 2g only and can't turn back on 3g. Anybody know why?

[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
It does not come with Voodoo sound. If you want that, you will have to get it elsewhere.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Weak. I wan't Voodoo Sound and BLN, but don't want UV or crazy overclocks and the two CM7 kernels I can find have both in spades.
[Vibrant Android Development] boothten:
Has anyone tried flashing different modems?

Which ones, if any, have helped even a little with getting better battery life?

:)
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
BLN is mainline. So you have that already. Voodoo sound needs to be worked on by supercurio before it will be included.
[Vibrant Android Development] boothten:
I'm not positive on this, but I could have sworn that neither UVing or OCing will occur unless you have SetCPU/Voltage Control and tell the phone to do so?

:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
I'm not positive either, I posted on the kernel thread asking the same question.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
1) other ROM's are based on samsung ROM's which lie about battery percentage (check a voltage table and you'll see it never goes beyond about 96%)

2) no support for low power mode in the kernel (which is something that comes with using nexus s source code for kernel)

3) they're just different modems for people to try if they want

if you want voodoo sound but want to stay on stock, feel free to purchase supercurio's "voodoo control plus" app which is able to insert the module on just about any kernel/ROM combination.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Do you know if his app will do the same for voodoo color?
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
I might just buy the app.

Question: regarding Voodoo kernel (EXT4) can I install this with it enabled? Does it have it, support it, or even need it? Just want to know what the Voodoo situation is with regards to CM7

Ok so Voodoo has to be disabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
It doesn't matter - we will kill everything anyway. Like dead.

More seriously, lagfix is not needed on CM7, we use a completely different device and underlying flash file system. Ext4 is only used on /data, and you don't have to go through lagfix contortions for it. We ignore whatever you have set and however you set it. You can keep writing enable_lagfix up the wazoo and up and down your file system and sdcard and we'll not even know what you're jumping up and down about. Though we might laugh. No promises.
[Vibrant Android Development] tsnow247:
Voodoo is irrelevant. Read the install instructions.

There is no conversion from rfs to ext4 if that helps.

[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Man, I hate when my deadpan derision isn't even understood . . .

Nevertheless - the fix requires coding knowledge to find and then fix the bug. Coding like programming computers? The stuff that software engineers do. Complicated coding because we don't know how to fix it yet, so first it requires some knowledge of how to find the bug in the code before one can fix it. Most probably the bug will require knowledge of both C++ and Java.

There is no user fix yet. Once we fix it, the issue will go away.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Not for me. I have something odd going on. Not sure what it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
Restart the phone. Your Android System is keeping it awake for FAR too long for some reason. Either something installed wrong, you are using something extensively...or your phone bugged out. My Android System had a total of 12% usage over more than 5 hours and kept the phone awake for 39 minutes, 30 of which were when the dysplay was on.
[Vibrant Android Development] CB620:
Ill wait for 40. Black screen sounds like the only issue

@People with bad battery life, specifically on standby

get app: CPU SPY

MAKE SURE that your cpu goes into deep sleep when you turn it off, and that app tells you if it does, if not, you may have a app using cpu, or flash went wrong or something, just post some pics and people will help.
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
Yeah,.deep sleep unused. I'll try a reflash when I get home.

Just flashed #40 and everything seems fine so far. No bootloops.

What's the consensus on the best modem to use now? I'm still on KA7.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Number 40 running good!
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
A lot of people prefer KB5 they say its good on speed and great battery life, but in my area KB1 is best for me because i only get "E" and on KB5 "E" was slow and it would sometimes just stop loading on the browser. So either KB1 or KB5 try them both and choose.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
Hmmm so I looked in cpu spy and I was looking at cpu clocks, and it said "Deep sleep" so is my deep sleep not working? I tried this on 39, and 40. Maybe widgetlocker causing this? Or is this happening to anyone else?
[Vibrant Android Development] iwapu:
Does it say any percentage about "Deep sleep"? If it is greater than 0% your deep sleep is working.

BTW, Deep sleep seems not to be working when charging.
[Vibrant Android Development] cashyftw:
cpu spy is saying deep sleep is unused.
[Vibrant Android Development] iwapu:
In that case it is not working.

My unanswered question from yesterday got buried.

Pardon my asking again.

With gpsd now being disabled in the nightlies, will bluetooth gps receivers no longer work?
[Vibrant Android Development] sil3ncer7:
ok, some weird issues after flashing 40. Flashed 40 like I normally do to all the other roms, (Wipe cache, backup rom)

Booted up and had no contacts and only half my gapps

Went and reflashed gapps, and I had to redo all the signing in and syncing with my google account. Didnt do a full wipe, looks like I have all my apps and screens, I just thought it was VERY odd..
[Vibrant Android Development] hoquangthaiholy:
Hi, everybody. I'm do step-by-step to flash this rom except the step "Check Backup current ROM!". That's right ?

I tested on #40. On without SIM. My Battery decrease 2% in 1 min (with wifi).

On standby, My Battery decrease 1% in 3 min.

Why my vibrant still drain battery when i don't use SIM ? Although without SIM, I saw have signal on signal bar.
[Vibrant Android Development] sil3ncer7:
Best bet is to wipe batt stats and recondition the battery. Takes a few days but its worth it. I do it every few flashes or so
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
That is strange; however I have to reinstall gapps every time I flash a new nightly and I let Google re-sync each time; don't know why it works any other way for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] wergeld:
Odd issue last night: my alarm never went off. Did not have SoD since phone responded to power button. Nothing in the logs. Volume was on. Yes, alarm was set to correct time. Alarm volume and sound was how it has always been. Good thing I still use my G1 for a second alarm :).

Let's see how 40 works.

No they should still work fine. But only way to be sure is to try.

Mine usually work now that I am just using the CM7 bundled Clock app (the stock Vibrant clock/alarm app was a steaming pile is crap...I still get angry at the lack of documentation and LOGIC in that software).

It was just odd that it did not go off and that there was nothing in the log that said it had failed or that my phone had some other issue during the time it was supposed to go off. This happened on RC1. I am on 40 now - we shall see what happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] ker0zene:
For anyone asking about GPS.. it has been disabled.. It won't be working anytime soon for reasons beyond the developer's control.

Please stop asking about it, it really won't lead to anything productive. As a work around, you can get a Bluetooth GPS receiver for ~$35 that you can leave in the car and will give your CM7 Vibrant the ability to use Google Nav when needed. I find that I can usually get a decent estimate of my location without GPS most of the time anyways.

As much as I love Voodoo Color, both Neo10 and Glitch V10C are giving me random reboots (at least no loops though) so sticking with stock until those guys can update.

Currently on Build 40.

Question: Why can't CM7 just add Voodoo Color to their own stock kernel?

[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
You guys do know that the kernel devs aren't updating their kernel's daily/nightly.

You will run into problems.

For the time being, it is best to stick with the stock kernel unless you have a build the kernel was made to work with.

One more thing, you will not get support from the CM SGS devs as long as you are not running stock.

Because the Voodoo Color driver is using the Nexus S driver while we are using the I9000 driver. Until they move to the i9000 driver, we can't do anything related to Voodoo color even if we wanted to.

CM7 is super fast, full of features, and over all a great rom. I know we are working with nightly builds and issues are expected right now. I'm totally fine with not having gps. The poor battery life and the mute/unmute issues were the only things that moved me on to another rom. I am so wanting to come back. Looks like many are saying battery life has improved and yet some are still reporting that the mute/unmute issue is still there.

Do we know what is causing the mute/unmute issue, and is it being worked on currently, or is it something on the back burner for now?

I'm simply shopping around for a stable and effective rom right now, and I'm very grateful for the development teams that produce them. Any info would be appreciated. I would really like to be using CM7. It kills everything else when it comes to speed. Thanks.

The mute/unmute is basically on the back burner - I've tried whatever I could think of (the latest hack was to actually do a mute/unmute in software, and might try one more thing by adding a short msleep() call after the mute!) and now am just waiting for a source code drop for Gingerbread for Vibrant specifically to see if we get anything useful related to GPS and headset and maybe even battery issues.
