No I didn't misunderstand lol I knew it was a rom snapshot I just wasn't thinking about the version change from 2.2 to 2.3

Uhm, it wasn't a nandroid backup I posted there. It's CM7 Nightly #56 with the fixes included. The size is bigger because it's an uncompressed zip, thats all.

Is the bug where you couldnt toggle 3g on and off gone now? It took me forever to figure out it was 2g even though it said 3g a few months ago. Can i toggle now without any issues and it shows the correct band?

Are you sure? This was in the changelog about a week ago:

[Vibrant Android Development] Ch4m3l30n:
172MB /datadata partition is the Achilles Heel on CM7 (for me anyway)

I continue to bump into a disk space limitation in my /datadata partition since it is only 172MB. I tried a complete wipe re-installation of the current nightly a few releases back to no avail. I was hoping it would recreate the partition to be larger...

Is anyone else having issues due to the small /datadata partition?

The last time I searched through this thread I found a couple mentions of it, but no resolution.

My Vibrant running CM7 nightly #65 has these partitions:

I know it's apples to oranges, but for comparison my wife's Vibrant on a stock-rooted 2.2 ROM has the following partitions:

It seems that the stock image doesn't have a separate /datadata mount point and that the /data/data folder is within the 1.96 GB /data mountpoint. So why is CM7 placing a [small] limitation on the amount of application data one can store on their phone? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Haha, someone actually did that in the glacier forum!! Epic fail, he was still logged in to EVERYTHING in the nandroid until someone clued him in and he wiped and uploaded a new one.
[Vibrant Android Development] jwleonhart:
Sucks for him haha, I don't have anything that personal on my phone though... so short of someone seeing an MMS of maybe some slightly dirty txt to my girl, I don't think you'd find much. lol :o
[Vibrant Android Development] beren28:
I was hopeful too, but testing out led to fail.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Yeah, I don't even have a data plan so the data radios are always off for me except for WiFi if I'm in a known WiFi zone. That probably helps a ton.

Thoughts on battery life

Hey guys

I have nightly 62 + Glitch + GPS fix (I don't know if it works or not)

I made some research on battery life and have some findings + some questions. I don't know maybe you have already known the findings because they are common sense.

So here are 5 pictures attached. They belong to 2 consecutive nights that the phone was fully charged, reset, charged again back to 100%, and unplugged and not working at all during the sleep time also the data connection was disabled, so no 3G or WiFi either.

Night 1: I had the weather channel widget and it seems that it was consuming the battery

Night 2: I had alarm on

Findings:

1- Widgets consume battery whether or not you have data enabled or disabled. Some widgets more some less depending on how efficient they are coded.

2- I noticed that ever since I installed glitch sleeping pattern of my phone has changed but not sure how.

Questions:

1- Look at picture 1: why the awake behavior is like that? i.e. small steps then larger?

2- Look at picture 3: why the phone was always awake? what the hell? is it caused by alarm? or by that weather notification? (probably needs another test)

3- comparing picture 2 and 4, why cell standby is consuming much more than android OS in one and much less in the other one?

4- should angry gps be there?

Last but not least I put my background here too because I love it :) hopefully it makes me eat more fruit :p
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Just a quick tip I discovered. I always set the back button to kill my apps cuz I thought it would help with the battery. Downloaded cpuspy and my phone would only sleep for 30 min. in the day.Messing around yesterday I removed the kill app w/ back button feature and my phone would sleep perfectly. I also noticed when going into the Google website, the GPS would kick on .It wouldn't sleep afterwards. So turned off gps toggle and rebooted and completely goes to sleep now FIY.I'm at 89% after 3 hrs of heavy usage.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Next nightly seems to be a good time to flash for people who like to flash when there are a bit more than just 1 minor update. Seems as if there's a alot.

most of it is translations though.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
I think we should list these findings and send them to the dev team, some of them are app related but some are cm7 related. I don't know which one is which now but that can help finding bugs related to battery life.

some pieces of code might be written in a non-efficient way that for example that part stays active most or all of the time.
[Vibrant Android Development] ginzberg:
There's a mechanism for this, but not for nightlies. You can go back to RC1 and report your findings via the bug tracker -- OR, which I think makes more sense, is when RC2 is released verify the issues still exist and report then.
[Vibrant Android Development] sjohnjuan:
As you can see. #65 and Glitch has been good to me. No issues so far..
[Vibrant Android Development] sjohnjuan:
As you can see. # 65 and Glitch have been good to me.. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ironlood:
I'm impressed ... gonna have to try that combo out and see if it is good to me as well
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
#63, glitch ML, and MOMAX 2700 battery. Used the Edge network (on WIFI in the images to upload the pics) with my typical use, which is light. I got 49hrs and 40 minutes with 21% left. I would say that's pretty good. MOMAX is the best $35 I've spent. NO GPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] roffee:
#67 was out
[Vibrant Android Development] 啊喔鹅咦呜鱼:
:DI just download, and ready to flash it
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Running 67 with Glitch so far no issues. I did notice Facebook account no longer showing up on the sync list, and it won't let me add it. No biggie.
[Vibrant Android Development] vahdyx:
I've been using 63, but now I'm downloading 67.

I hate to noob it up, but what's "Glitch"

*Edit*I think I know what "Glitch" is, sorry for not trying to be self efficient
[Vibrant Android Development] Wizeblood:
Had the same problem ... DL the Facebook app and change the sync settings in it... then it will show...

~Thanx! You know what you did!~
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
anyone notice the new CWR on #67 is back to the old orange one and not the blue one?
[Vibrant Android Development] jay661972:

Duh... I should have known thanks that worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] buhlerbuhler:
I use the battery calibration app, works well for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
Exactly how you would in any other ROM. Kill battery, wipe stats, fully charge.
[Vibrant Android Development] buhlerbuhler:
I just flashed the same, looking forward to my phone not dying by noon :D

i tried glitch never was able to get it stable :mad:

On GB roms they say to fully charge then wipe stats.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jasonhunterx:
Cuz they say to charge while off an u can't on CM cuz it boots when on charger :-/ that's how
[Vibrant Android Development] sjohnjuan:
Now that's just insane. Good stuff bro.
[Vibrant Android Development] barribow:
But this will change the shape of your phone so you have to install their case with it as well, right?
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Is it my imagination or is 67 way faster and smoother than its predecessors?
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
Glitch is a different kernel, and it's self SUFFICIENT.
[Vibrant Android Development] }{Alienz}{:
I don't know what you are all complaining about but I'm having GREAT battery life with Glitch and nightly #47. Phone sleeps great. Battery left reports 17 hours of battery per charge with medium usage (screen on for about 3 hours total per battery charge).

When idle, my phone consumes about 2-3% battery per hour. That is with Wi-Fi constantly running...with it off it's even better.

I'm not sure if its the new GPS fix or something else is causing the terrible battery life everyone has been complaining of in the nightly 60 series but I definitely have no problems of any kind with CM7. No mute unmute bug and for GPS, I use an external receiver. It's finally there for me. 17 hours per charge and realistically about 22 hours per charge as I charge it some while driving in my car.
[Vibrant Android Development] cyberpyr8:
I agree, the Momax has allowed me to use my phone all day long. I only get about 18-24 hours of use but I am leaving the screen on and watching videos or listening to music non stop now. I also stay on wifi and I don't turn anything off. I run GPS and let my phone update Email, Gmail, G+, FB and Twitter all day long. I love being able to use my phone like it was intended to be used. I loved my tablet because I could use it and get the better battery life but I feel like the phone is now on par to it.

I think that CM7 and the Bali kernel has been running pretty good for me. I was running Glitch at 1.2 and now Bali and they both have been good on battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
67 is way faster than its predecessors for me also. gps also lock fairly fast i would say under 5sec so far for me. although i saw there were less language available in 67. hopefully there will be more added later as newer version comes out. thanks dev for all the great works.
[Vibrant Android Development] layzer253:
Updated to 67, installed glitch kernal and Kb1 modem. When I rebooted the top bar was missing, as well as the settings application. It also says no service. Rebooting did not fix it :( Upon the second reboot, it brought me back to first boot welcome screen, and when I tap the android to begin nothing happens.
[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Yes, however if you flash the Glitch Kernel then you get ver 4.0.1.0, blue version back. FYI
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
67 updated to Android 2.3.5. Glitch kernel probably isn't compatible yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
yep! noticed that for myself because I forgot to flash Glitch right after updating to a newer nightly. :P
[Vibrant Android Development] igor.ibit:
You should run the cleaning script from the Glitch installation page before flashing the kernel. I also had this, and the script helped.
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
Yes but it's not that bad looking and it gives you a kickstand. Here's the best vid I could find.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9bSERJHAfk&feature=related
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
The glitch kernels already have a kernel clearing script built-in. Next time you flash,pay attention to the cmw commands you'll see it...
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
With the latest nightly I'm getting 2008 on Quadrant Premium. Thats more than 500 points above the Froyo ROMs. I wonder if this is right.

Source code?

Could some one please point me to the correct github source which is being used for nightlies builds including Kernel, because I think kernel is not the part of the source.

There are multiple sources, and I am little confused.

I am sorry, it is very diffcult going through 600+ pages to find the answers.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kaik541:
https://github.com/cyanogenmod for android source

https://github.com/teamhacksung/android_kernel_samsung_aries for kernel source

kernel source is never included with CM repo by default, because that's a crapload of source that 99% of builds/builders will never use so you must add it manually, as CM uses prebuilt kernels to reduce load and bandwidth consumption. (Samsung builders don't need HTC kernel source, and vice versa, for example)
[Vibrant Android Development] notverycreative:
It seems to be working fine for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
Disk Space Limitation.

I am having a similar issue with #67... I can only install a few apps before i have to reboot and wipe my cache, so that i can begin re-installing the rest of my apps. There have been suggestions that the new market app is causing the problem, but i don't know. I have moved most of my apps to my sd card and nothing changes. I install 5 apps reboot clear cache and start again. :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] apollo15rover:
Was working ok at LL, then around 65 I had to go to ML, then 67 nothing worked well even HL.

Seems the kernel for me lasts through 4-5 nightlies.

Keeping away for now until the final release. .
[Vibrant Android Development] Mannymal:
How was it that one could enable CM7's built-in backlight notification?
[Vibrant Android Development] gustavct:
Whenever I put my SIM Card into a phone, it creates a SIM Toolkit Icon where I can access some carrier info. After installing Cyanogen ROMs this icon is not created.

[Vibrant Android Development] nedlog:
Mixed discussions?? What about all the gps fix discussions are you including those too? I agree the main focus is the latest CM7 but we also need to discuss how other "fixes"..battery, gps...kernels are affected by the nightlies. Until the battery drain issues disappear with the stock kernel then one of the fixes is to use a kernel we can uv. Just saying.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] Phateless:
That's good to know.

[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
I have been running Bali 1.1.1 rock solid and it is smooth and stable on Nightly #68. GPS also locks down to 5m accuracy with angrygps and Trigger Redux Build 12 gpsd. I am running at 1.2ghz and UVing from -25 to -125mv.
[Vibrant Android Development] jad3675:
#67 with Glitch ML OC'ed to 1.2 and uv'ed -30 has given me 14.5 hours of light use - push email, 4 or 5 calendar alerts, some web browsing, wi-fi use, handful of texts, 30 minutes of actual phone calls and TinyShark music lstreaming - with 30% left. That is by far the best battery life I've gotten out of a GB based ROM.

Your Google Apps is borken. Reflash Gapps again. That drain may be from something trying to access Google but being unable to because of a lack of the app with which to do it.

Using nb # 68 at first I had a crazy battery drain of almost 15% in about 40mins, for some reason my phone wasn't going to sleep. I did a battery reconditioning and now its much better and battery drain seems better than when I was on build 64. I got a gps lock within 1min with 20meter accuracy and that's with a stock no mods added such as glitch or angrygps.

Note: after a few hrs I tried getting a lock on gps and 5mins later it wouldn't lock. I turned gps off/on and it locked within 30secs, a lil of a hassle but better than before when it would take almost 10mins to lock.

[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
do a full format of system/data/cache/boot and then install the rom
[Vibrant Android Development] quadratic:
The integrated LED notification mentioned is for phones that have a dedicated notification LED. The Vibrant is, unfortunately, not one of those phones.

If you're thinking of backlight notification, that was removed a while back for reasons I don't recall. (If they were ever stated...) I believe the Bali and Glitch kernels enable BLN, but I haven't tried them out.
