The SDK houses ADB

The Android SDK houses "ADB". The info I gave you before lets ADB find your phone. Now install the SDK:

1)Download the SDK for Linux from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2)Extract it to wherever you want. I recommend you put it here: /home/username/Android/sdk

*If that is the case, adb will end up in the directory: /home/username/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

3)In your home folder is a file called ".bashrc" open it and append to the bottom these two lines and save:

#Android SDK Tools
export PATH=${PATH}:/home/username/Android/sdk/platform-tools/

4)Restart your computer.

ADB works the same way in Windows as it does on Linux. Open a terminal and type a command like "adb devices" to see which devices are connected to your PC.

You already have a device capable of the TV Out. Unless there is a source drop your not gonna see it in CM7 for a while. You could always ODIN back to 2.2 and have fully functioning TV out.

Cant restore WIFI access points using Titanium Backup

I have recently upgraded from another ROM. I did my standard process for a new ROM (ODIN to stock, flash, restore only "green" Titanium system items, restore applications).

I have the following issue - I am not able to restore my WIFI access points.

I have since re-flashed CM7 after a data wipe and I still can not restore a backup of my CM7 WIFI access points. With one minor exception (CM7 gestures) all other data restores OK.

I have already tried the suggestion of changing the domain channel value to 14 (as suggested in http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/12155-wifi-not-working/), but that did not help. I have tried changing my "app processing mode" in titanium.

Nothing seems to work. I have gotten no response from Titanium. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Ever since the new version of the market came out I have been having problems with updating some of my apps. Even the online version of the market now says certain apps are not compatible with my phone, even though the previous version of the app is currently working on my phone. Is there a way I can fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Next time just press and hold the power button until it turns on.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
ANDROID will restore your access points on it's own because they've been synced with your google account. It will also restore your bookmarks, apps (not data), and desktop background.

If you want stability, DON'T USE TITANIUM because often you'll restore bugs along with your data. Just suck it up and beat those Angry Birds levels all over again.
[Vibrant Android Development] CTown:
Sorry for being offtopic!

I wanted to try some bash scripting (this is my first script), so I made a script that installs the SDK and udev rules (there are no phone drivers on Linux).

Just put it in your home directory, open a terminal and type "./installsdk.txt" in the terminal. Enter your password when required. It will then open the sdk, so you can install the necessary components. (Make sure you at least install "the Android SDK platform-tools" and "SDK Platform Android 2.3.X ")

Also, open the file ".bashrc", with root, (located in your home directory) and add these two lines at the end (replacing USERNAME with your own username):

#Android SDK Tools
export PATH=${PATH}:export PATH=${PATH}:/home/[B][I]USERNAME[/I][/B]/Android/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools/
[Vibrant Android Development] iBustCh3rries:
I think you should be fine using titanium as long as you don't back up or restore system data... atleast going off my personal experience ..
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
I agree, only restore apps that are not system related. I have flashed back and forth between froyo and gingerbread and have never had any issues related to apps using titanium backup.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
You might have even better results if you don't use titanium at all.

Ok I need someone else to verify that this is a bug and not just my specific device. When using a wired headset on builds including the mute/unmute fix people report that I sound far away on incoming and outgoing calls. It seems like the microphone isn't activating but I still need to do more testing.

been having issues with the last couple builds.

my browser sometimes won't completely load a webpage and shows an "invalid user agent" error. I've tried Opera, Firefox and Dolphin and get the same errors. if I keep reloading, sometimes it'll fully load the page.

anyone else seeing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] dannydrift:
I have this same problem on CM7. I don't have the problem on MIUI. If I am using Android as the User Agent, I get the "invalid user agent". If I switch it to Linux Desktop, the problem goes away, but I have the inconvenience of loading the entire site, flash ads and all.

Is there a known fix for this? I'm thinking it's something I need to call T-Mobile for. This only started happening on my Vibrant. I never had this problem on my Nexus One (T-Mobile).
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
Having the same issue. Switching user agent to iPhone works fine for now.

All of your references to "/home/username" can be replaced with "$HOME".

It is not necessary to reboot the Linux PC when the steps above are performed, only to open a new terminal window or at most logout and login again.

Check your /datadata partition's free space amount. You're likely running dangerously low and need to remove some user data. Unfortunately the partition is only 172mb.

I never use any of those utilities except to wipe cache of everything. I don't know why you Samsung guys are so obsessed with titanium backup, lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] mdkxtreme:
I don't know about the rest but I have never had any problems with titanium backup. That thing is a huge time saver every time I flash a rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
It gives you back all your apps like you never wiped an u can restore all at once

I know what it does but I prefer the peace of mind of a truly clean wipe to the convenience of keeping my angry birds levels.
[Vibrant Android Development] mdkxtreme:
I think you're being paranoid. How can angry birds affect the coding of the rom

Restoring data can cause rom instability. It's not about angry birds specifically.

I can confirm that 911 is still broken on Nightly #97. A woman was screaming for help in my neighborhood and when I went to call 911 my phone couldn't connect and then it lost all data functionality, so I had to reboot my phone. Thankfully someone else near by had a phone that could dial 911. This is an extremely serious problem and needs to be resolved asap.
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
Roman tried to upload his code to the CM7 repository but it failed for some reason. But he implemented the fix in Trigger Redux; for now I won't go back to vanilla CM7 until the fix is implemented there.

[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I wonder if using Google Voice as your default number and dialer would be a fix for 911? I am not willing to try it but it is just a thought.

As far as Titanium Backup, I have used it since I had my MT3G while running CM6. I have always restored just the apps & data and had very few problems. I think the problems people have with TB is when they restore system apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Probably, I just would rather redo all my apps settings in return for greater guarantee of stability. I've been here since mt3g as well. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Gamones:
Not trying to be rude or anything. Seriously, if you guys need/want 911 to work then don't use this rom. WTF? Obviously, you're not going to blame the cm7 devs if someone dies because of your 911 mishap. So why don't you guys paranoid about 911 just go ahead and use another rom until it gets fixed? Sheesh...
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
trigger 2.3.5 has the 911 fix if u really need it u should use that rom its just like cm7 just a few more tweaks and stuff, but it is a serious problem u never know when your going to need 911
[Vibrant Android Development] wyvernwaddell:
Has anyone built a cwm package for Romanbb's 911 fix? I'm willing to test if they have..
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Bull****. Absolute bull****. As an EMT I can tell you that when you NEED 911 is when you don't expect you would. You can't just say "I won't need 911 so I'll install CM7" because accidents happen when you least expect them. Good luck fumbling with your phone in the middle of a panic trying to contact your operator so they can relay you to the police or whoever. There are certain situations where 5 minutes are CRITICAL. There is a reason carriers are legally obligated to have 911 easily accessible.

That said, I keep certain emergency numbers stored in my phone in case of an emergency, and with the lack of 911, I suggest people using CM7 do the same. Store the police, firefighters, and an emergency dispatcher if you can find a direct number.
[Vibrant Android Development] MoWeb:
As an EMT first of all thanks for the work you do :) Having said this, everyone here knows this isn't an "Official ROM" and it's a without warranty use at your own risk ROM. 911 is critical but you should know better especially if this kind of bug exists. Use a ROM without this problem until it's resolved no one is forcing anyone to use it.
[Vibrant Android Development] droidfan77:
While you make a good point, these forums are the perfect place for people to learn if a bug like not being able to call 911 exists. This way we can make an informed decision as to which ROM to install. I discovered that Nightly #97 still wasn't able to connect to 911 when I needed to make the call and the very next morning I switched over to a froyo ROM. Thankfully I was in a situation where someone else had a phone that could call 911, but I don't want to risk being in that situation again and I wanted to pass on my experience with that nightly so that other members of this board could learn from my experience. Once the 911 bug gets resolved I will very happily come back to CM7 and I hope as soon as it's fixed people on this board will mention it since this is the exact place for these type of conversations.
[Vibrant Android Development] mrbradeli:
I really have to find a way to increase battery life on this thing. I have no widgets, I've undervolted the CPU at all frequencies, I haven't installed anything from the market yet, and I've 'calibrated' the battery. I can't think of anything else to improve the abysmal battery life I'm getting. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] gamikzone:
turn down the brightness and use a custom kernel :p
[Vibrant Android Development] bigtom624:
I use Juice Defender Beta and its great for saving battery. I have it set to Balanced mode and it turns off data when the screen is off. I've been getting 18- 20 hours with moderate to heavy use. I'm also using the kernel that came with the Rom, and no OC. Give it a try.
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedrz:
I've flashed Bali CM 2.0, and was wondering, is there an easy way to flash back the stock kernel from a cm7 file? Samsung kernel flasher worked great for that on 2.2 froyo. I tried but said it wasn't supported ....
[Vibrant Android Development] cwalker29:
This is just my personal opinion. But I think cm7 for the vibrant is just about done for! Everything that can be done on our vibrant has been. I doubt the source code will ever be release for the vibrant. People should look forward to another phone. I'm going with the hercules when it drops. I left cm7 for a froyo rom weeks ago. I do miss it but I need better battery life.

I still check on this thread once a day to see what improvements was made. And all see is 911 and battery issues. Issues that I think is going to die with this rom. Its too many phone out that these dev's are focusing on now. We had a GREAT run people. But It might be time to move on. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into our phone's:)
[Vibrant Android Development] FReQ Z:
Could my invalid user agent issue be related to the wrong APN selected? Mine was set to Simple Mobile... not T-Mo.

Maybe that could be the 911 issue too?
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
Same here, went back to bionix next gen 2. Getting great battery life after a day or two it seems to improve. Love it
[Vibrant Android Development] jakemg:
Try removing the undervolt. My phone performed worse on an undervolt. Vibrants are testy little beasts

And I have no idea why people are getting such bad battery life. I'm on nightly 84 and I get about 16 hours with steady, moderate to heavy use. I have a few widgets going, tons of apps installed, autosync in the background for gmail, contacts, and calendar, twitter updating every hour, fancy widget updating every hour, brightness on auto. A good 6 hours a day is BeyondPod and a couple more are PowerAmp, so media server is constantly on. Not sure why I'm not getting terrible battery like everyone else. Oh, also on stock CM kernel, no undervolt, no overclock/underclock, and governor is set to on demand.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
Yeah, buy a bigger battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
Yeah, looks like. I m on build # 100 and the app still force closes. :(

a little help

Well, i have flashed some other roms before, but i decided to do exactly like descripted here.

the phone is rooted. i bought rom manager premium. i click flash clockworkmod recovery. it say its ok, but when i restart the phone in recovery, it stills blue. i skiped one step of an "normal flash"

i didnt put the phone in into shell root ADB and changed recovery 3e to 2e

should i do this?

thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
Go to recovery mode and select Reinstall Packages and press the Power button. The phone will reboot. Go back to recovery and see if you have Clockworkmod recovery or the basic one. If you're still on the basic recovery, try it again. I remembered doing it at least 4-5 times once to get the CWM recovery. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
CWM error

I m on build # 100 and I cant seem to flash any other ROM like Bionix-v 1.3.1 or any other via CWM. I get the following error:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

I tried using ROM manager and CWM 2.x.x.x and 3.x.x.x but it still shows up this error. How can I fix this apart from odining to stock JFD?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
You have to Odin to stock first to go back to any other non CM7 based roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] antrax360:
I had this happened to me on my g2x. There's another way though. Go into the cyanogen settings the hit interface than led notification then miscellaneous then click on the gmail app since that's the one u having problems and click on flash color to and set it to none. I actually did this on all the apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] lifehijack:
Well that's strange but I have been able to flash so many other ROMs directly from CM7 without ODIN to Stock. Nevermin, I will use ODIN once I m home.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Just flashed #101 and so far everything appears to be working. I'm trying my apps now. What works for me and has for a long time it to download the nightly OTA and then install it myself; I'll reboot into recovery and then wipe cache partition; go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache; then install the zip; once that's done I'll install Gapps; then reboot...always good to go and never have the issues some are reporting.
