use rockplayer for avi videos, works great on cm7! they even mention it in the cm7 faq...

cm7 nightlie #6 is out hell yah
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
Wi-Fi calling depends on T-Mobile making the app Gingerbread compatible, and even then it might not be compatible with CM7.

If its your wife's phone why don't you install a stable 2.2 ROM? Does she appreciate the added functionality of CM7 enough to deal with the defects? On other peoples phones I put Bionix 1.3.1.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
After installing the latest nightly I had to reinstall GApps. Otherwise things are running smoothly.
[Vibrant Android Development] romitkin:
How do I change the bluetooth "Discoverable" timeout?

From the changelog I understand that this option should be available in the latest update.

Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
when installing a nightlie, if u click on no wipe data then u will still have all ur apps and all ur setting in place still? Because i clicked on wipe data and i had to restore everything again.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
you just answered your own question.
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
I just installed the -6 version, booted up and didn't have to blink my screen to get connection. Progress excites me, everything seems to be good.
[Vibrant Android Development] archie53:
Installed nightly 6 through 3 button method into CWM. All went well and Gapps were still there upon reboot. Rom is still smooth and so far no problems. Awesome job guys.

[Vibrant Android Development] jordanjf86:
Not a big deal but for some reason the newest nightly wouldn't flash through rom manager. It would download and then ask if I wanted to wipe and then just reboot...... I just flashed manually through recovery. Just wondering if anyone else has ran into this.
[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
I flashed the 5/21 nightly using ROM manager.
[Vibrant Android Development] movieaddict:
jordan mine wouldnt download either through rom manager it kept rebooting it like urs. Then i just clicked flash clockwork recovery again and like last time press vibrantmt and press 3x and then it worked for me. So maybe that will work u next time...

I have a question. Is it better to flash CM7 from a stock ROM or can I flash from bionix 1.3.1???

Sent from my VIBRANT Using TW's Bionix-v 1.3.1 w/o Voodoo

[Vibrant Android Development] jordanjf86:
Ok thanks. I think I have the MTD 2x selected so maybe that's the problem. I will try 3x with the next nightly. No big deal to me to flash from recovery manually but its cool to just do it through rom manager.

Hey guys after i intall everything and did the wipe/factory settings and then reboot i get an error that saids: e:no partition and ideas? So I cant boot the phone it just takes me back to cwm
[Vibrant Android Development] DaSmittyman:
this happened to me when i did not have voodoo enabled, your gonna have to start over with a voodoo kernel and make sure its enabled
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
crap now i cant get the phone to turn on:mad: luckly im still able to get to cwm i went back to stock but when i reboot the screen is completely black ****!!! any ideas man.
[Vibrant Android Development] derrickps3:
damn bruh lol........is the screen black even when flashed back to 2.1?
[Vibrant Android Development] diorDNA:
Nope, just the cyanogen kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] cal4877:
yup screen was black even on 2.1 stock lol but i flash lidroid 233 gb and now is working ssshhwweee that was close lidroid rom saved my phones life man lol
[Vibrant Android Development] warfenix:
Probably stupied for asking but is 2.3.4 gonna have an increase in speed/performamce.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nowaysout:
whoa serious? snappiest rom i've ever used...
[Vibrant Android Development] warfenix:
Just asking lol havent tried it yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nowaysout:
oh haha sorry. i misread it the first time. it's up to you! just try it out. i think it's snappy
[Vibrant Android Development] Hung0702:
I'm having problems when I change the pixel density. The first time I tried it, I couldn't get signal (this is happened before with 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs alike, but rebooting and trying again would yield a 'RIL reset' message and the signal would return following that). The second time I tried (after a reboot), and it hung at the boot animation. Both times, I turned the screen on and off.

I'm also getting really iffy modem presence on AT&T. I'm always in areas of great signal (signal was great on 2.1/2.2), but sometimes when I boot, the signal is gone and never comes back. A reboot, or waiting a really long time, might resolve the issue, but I'm not sure what precisely the problem actually is.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Atin (or other devs), will there be any progress for the FFC mod on the vibrant for this rom in the near future?

I have the new gapps and would love to get the front cam working for video chats. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
i got a com.android.phone fc continued when i restart the phone.

what can i do?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
kinda sounds like you toggled 2g/3g using the widget.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Only the one rule, and you went and broke it.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
is the phone crashing on first boot when enabling the sensors still present? because i just had that happen twice now :\

D/Sensors ( 289):Smb380Sensor::~enable(0,1) open /sys/class/input/event1/device/enable

is where it hangs.

also, i would have gotten a logcat, but i didn't know my usb would actually work at the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] paranoia_gu:
Perhaps i used. I use gsm.

cannot toggled 2g/3g using the widget??

is there any task manager? just asking...
[Vibrant Android Development] badazyelaboi:
Where is everybody getting a compatible KB5 modem?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
scrizz has modems posted here.
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Select modems are also found on the CMSGSteam Sourceforge page as of recently.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Nope. That's a Samsung feature. You really don't need it, but if you insist on using one, there are plenty in the market.

Sent from my Vibrant on CM7
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
Thanks, I didn't see the KB5 modem there though.
[Vibrant Android Development] thermanlee:
With the initial install, when casually drawing a line across the screen horizontally, it jumps all over the screen vertically. I installed a multitouch test and confirmed that it is thinking I am touching with 2 or even 3 fingers at times.

I installed the recent update, and this hasn't changed. I also don't remember seeing it mentioned, and I've been following this thread pretty closely. Anyone else having the problem?

Other than that, the rom seems to be working very well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
System Panel has a built in task manager. You can set up CM7 (in settings) to access it by long pressing too.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
No matter what for some reason I have to always reinstall GAPPS and manually re-signto the market and gmail accounts?? I am backing up the whole app + data with Titanium, but that isn't restoring the data. Not sure what to do, I can't always be re-signing in after each nightly....
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Isn't KB5 Already in The ROM?

Looking at Settings.. About Phone..

The baseband ends in "...KB5" which I take to indicate that is a KB5 modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
How are you installing? Doing it from CWM directly backs it up and restores it for you, doing it from ROMManager you need to choose the GApps addon but then it should be fine. Just don't clear data - that will get rid of your GApps data.
[Vibrant Android Development] TR88:
What kernel would you all recommend?
[Vibrant Android Development] Vizone-:
The one where the OP states it will break your system. O wait, that's if you aren't using the one that comes with it!

Yes. I believe it was KA7 in mtd4.

I'm liking Kernel du Jour by Escapist. Nothing out of the ordinary's broken and it loads Voodoo Color & Sound. I think Zack's Platypus is also going to be updated and I've had great luck with his on the pre-merged versions of CM7
[Vibrant Android Development] bigchris774:
quick question

this rom works great the only problem i am runnin into is if some one calls me and i answer i sound like im a robot far away, but if i call them i sound fine. is this a quick fix? or am i missing sumthing?

if this is like a repost i do apoligise.

and sorry for misspelling!
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
I noticed battery life improved well over last 2 updates.... any thoughts on this?

[Vibrant Android Development] masr1979:
Anybody else having issues connecting to routers using WPA2 security? I had been able to connect fine, but since v4 I haven't been able, I've tried 2 different routers.

For the time being I disabled security and stopped SSID broadcast... but I can't say I'm looking forward to everyone that uses a PC in my home to be asking me why their connection isn't working.

I was also experiencing the 3 second (don't know exactly how long it actually was) delay when you pick up a call in v4. I need to verify if I'm still having it with v6.
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
atinm, first let me say, thanks for the response. I really love and appreciate all the work you are doing.

I'm not talking about the latest nightlies, I'm just talking about the initial "official" release. I downloaded the first preliminary one off of "teamhacksung" in ROM manager a day before the official release, but I can't find the official initial release anywhere in ROM manager under the free "Cyanogenmod" listing...

Is it not available?
[Vibrant Android Development] jimmyhawk:
I use wpa2 security and have had no issues.

cm7 latest, le kernel @ 1400 and kb5 modem....awesome
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
Working good here.

Use WEP with AES.
[Vibrant Android Development] 12paq:
Try turning off AES on your router, then choose forget networks on the Vibrant.

edit: funny, the post above says the opposite, just try both.

Not sure of this build, but many preliminary CM7 builds have back ported drivers from previous kernel sources and as devs squeeze more performance from kernels, drivers can suffer.

Turning off AES on my router and upgrading the firmware to dd-wrt, eliminated my router problems at home and work for CM7 devices.

..ps hey Shed and Jackdog! nice to see you guys on 2.3.4 :)

Do we need the logs that are in the sd card, for example, bml_over_mtd.log, cyanogen_mtd.log, cyanogen_bml.log?
[Vibrant Android Development] numberoneoppa:
Ditto. Auto brightness is dysfunctional in -6.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Ah ok got it, I always thought that would just reinstall a fresh copy. Thanks for the info!!

Also, I would HIGHLY recommend sticking with STOCK KERNEL. Use KB1 modem, and you will be getting 24+ hours of battery life, this setup I have now might actually be better than 2.2 if not the same. I had 1 day plus 27% left. Moderate use. This ROM is PURE.
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
Hmmm.... Sywpe has not worked since latest CM7 update. Tryed to re-install and nogo. Shows trace however sywpe function not working. Solutions anyone?
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
WiFi Calling is CM7 compatible on the G2, and the G2 was used to "port" over to the N1, so I figure there's a *chance* of it coming over to the Vibrant...

Also, she likes CM7 and is fine with putting up with hiccups in the software, etc. Enough so that she put up with CM4Morrison for her old Cliq, and *that* was a nightmare!! :O
[Vibrant Android Development] ChristoA1:
You might be confusing "official" and "stable"... Vibrantmtd is now officially supported on CM7, but it's still only available as a nightly. There hasn't been a RC/Stable release yet...
[Vibrant Android Development] OPTheory:
Same issue here. I ended up switching to SlideIt (works almost exactly like swype, it's faster, but not as clean looking) and I think I'll be sticking with this one.
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
Thanks!! You saved my life. The missus threatened me with bodily harm if I did not get her swype back. But she loves the new one that you suggested.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
they are no longer separate zips. both initial install and updates utilize the same zip.

they're there if you run into errors so you can report to us. and they'll be recreated on every update anyway.

relicense swype. it broke because of the changed naming convention.

someone would have to write the necessary kernel interfaces and whatnot to make it work. as none of our maintainers have a tmobile account, it's kind of hard for them to debug and test.
[Vibrant Android Development] McBang2023:
as a warning to all, if you flash back to a nand of another rom. YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. i shall try ODIN tonight but if nogo, off to the tmo store with a clever excuse...
[Vibrant Android Development] lotherius:
Looks good here so far except for the audio issue on phone calls, which is a pretty major issue. Boss called me first thing this morning and I was too asleep to remember to toggle mute and he kept saying hello over and over.... this really needs to be priority number one fix. Any idea on if this will be easy or is it due to lack if something from Samsung?

running cm7 a couple days, things keep getting better with each release. keep up the good work!

one minor glitch ive found, haven't seen it mentioned,

when running quadrant, every things smooth, but im lacking any shading or textures. ie: the planets are just 2 grey circles, the dungeon walls are smooth grey etc.

ive flashed several kernels thinking that'd fix it, but nope...

any suggestions?

Swype is working fine for me you just have to download swype beta installer, and then your good to go.

[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
not sure if your question has been answered yet but here it goes.

i did the same thing as you, i was too excited waiting for the first official release, i downloaded the one off rom manager acouple hours before the official release.

i think where you are going off track here is this, the first initial release was only a nightly, which is a update, not a full rom flash.

im pretty sure u can downloaded the latest (nightly6, i think) and flash via recovery and be caught up.
[Vibrant Android Development] cojonesx:
launch the swype installer and click generate license it sometimes happens when switching between any roms
[Vibrant Android Development] dietdrpeper:
Yes, swype works fine. You have to install it again, not just restore it with titanium.

I'm running WAP2 security with TKIP OR AES encryption settings and haven't had a problem connecting. Maybe it's the AES encryption. :confused:

[Vibrant Android Development] parmijo11:
Over 7 hours on newest nightly and I'm at 51% percent still with my normal usage. Well Done!
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
I had the same problem on my wife's HD2 running CM7. I have no idea what she did, I'm sure she doesn't either, but it stopped working. :p

Anyways, the only way I could get it to run again was by uninstalling swype and the installer. Then reinstall the installer and swype.

As someone else already mentioned you can try re-licensing swype again, but that didn't work for me.

Good luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
You should be able to ODIN without a hitch. I did the same thing in the past.

The reason you soft bricked is because a nand backup does not back up the kernel. So you essentially restored data from a 2.2 (?) ROM, while still on a 2.3.4 kernel.

There is an application that you can use to restore the kernel as well, but I've found it easier to flash the original ROM and then restore your nand. If done this way, the correct kernel is restored prior to applying your backup.

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:
Why not just flash a previous kernel version then do the nandroid backup?
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
nandroid backups and restores on CM7 also back up the kernel and recovery image.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
I believe the original poster was talking about reverting to another ROM from CM7. I don't believe the correct kernel would be restored in this instance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jackdog89:
You can do that, but it's a little more complicated than just re-flashing the ROM that the nand is based off of and then restoring.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
There are no official releases right now - just nightlies.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
No, but they're small - don't worry about them. They don't grow forever.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
You need to flash back to a rom that has the PIT file. I use JFD.
[Vibrant Android Development] masr1979:
Ok guys I'll try turning off AES and get back to yous. It's not really a biggie, but just in case anybody else has the issues in the future. Oh by the way, the router in question is an actiontech MI424WR on verizon Fios.

I also experienced another weird issue where I couldn't properly format my external sdcard after updating from v4 to v6, but I odin-ed back to stock and when straight to v6 and that resolved the problem.

Anyways, report back later.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
It is not easy, if it was, it would be fixed by now. Let's see what happens after some work we've done that will be going up in a nightly soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] atinm:
Auto-brightness works. You need to enable some settings in CyanogenMod Settings > Display > Auto Backlight. Check Use Custom, Edit levels and tell it to load defaults, save and apply. Or Edit as you want, then Save and Apply. Check Allow Decrease.

I was getting the no space error sporadically. Most (all?) times trying a second time would be successful, but I changed the default location to store apps from "Auto" to "Internal" in the CM settings and haven't had any problems... not like I need APP2SD on the Vibrant.

As far as my previous issue, in WPA2 I can only pick TKIP & AES or AES only. For now I'll just deal with the little annoyance until I can properly test things out better. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Team Whiskey's Next Gen is a 2.2 based ROM, so would it be safe if I flashed Cyanogen from there? I got build 7, does it matter which one I choose? And, must I flash from CWM, or can I do it from Recovery? I apologize for all the questions, and to sound so inexperienced, I've just never flashed a GB ROM, and I'm not so sure if it works the same way.
[Vibrant Android Development] mikka06:

Do I really need to go back to eclair/froyo to install this if i am using Simply Honey 3.1? I guess I could odin back to stock but I am just curous if that is really necessary or if I can just flash it in recovery and go.

[Vibrant Android Development] Abu-7abash:
You've to be on froyo or eclair before flashing this. Doesn't matter how you get your phone to that.
