Ad blocking in CM7

Is there a mod to block ads here in CM7...I was previously on UKB which blocked them....
[Fascinate Android Development] CGriffiths86:
Download "Ad-free" in the market.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
The easiest way is online at gmail.com. Go to contacts. More actions. Find & merge duplicates. Done.

You can also manually put a check next to identical contacts, the more actions and then merge contacts. I use this after I let it "auto merge" just to make sure I didn't miss anyone.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
Just tried that...but blocked stuff I use...like Weather bug, Pandora radio, google voice and talk..probably other stuff'

Anything else I could use...I think on ComRom, the ad blocking thing was in the kernel..
[Fascinate Android Development] raymechanic:
There is a keep awake setting in settings/call settings try it and see if it does what you need

[Fascinate Android Development] bilbotn:
Well you could always go back to ComRom since it apparently has everything you want in a rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] dr_w:
For the in call audio issue, when you make a call run the volume all the way up and then all the way down then back up. Should work.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
No.way...may be missing a few features I like...but...damn!!...this rom is the best I have ever had performance wise...also getting much better signal and gps seems to be working better also...got to find some themes...if there are any...If ComRom had the performance and awesomeness of CM then life would be perfect...but that's never gonna happen...

If it's a problem with the caller not being able to hear you then I found something that helped me. In the kernel module settings of voodoo control I enabled load sound driver. That immediately helped me. This will only work if you're running the kernel that came with CyanogenMod and not with Glitch. The option to load sound driver won't be clickable if you're running another kernel. That's the only sound issue i've had recently.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
On Glitch kernel...tried that a few times...no effect...earpice volume still about half what it should be...at least bluetooth works ok..

I have noticed that the mic volume increases slightly when you un-check Hi-fi record and DAC direct in Voodoo control...but even then, no where near as sensitive as it was on Verizon stock...hopefully a fix is right around the corner...
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I am using Ad Free with Google Voice and Talk with no issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] grillium:
thank you!
[Fascinate Android Development] nemesis2all:
Changes are in framework not kernel. My kernel should react the same to the changes as stock kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] krispuniq:
BTW.. theres a button for that.. posting thank you helps none ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] probbiethe1:
I was able to flash this, no problem, but for some reason i dont have gapps. Can someone help me figure out how to get them. thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] godihatework:
when you first log into the android market you should be prompted to download gapps.
[Fascinate Android Development] probbiethe1:
thanks for your quick response but i dont even have the market.
[Fascinate Android Development] jobu3434:
you have to flash gapps right after flashing rom
[Fascinate Android Development] probbiethe1:
ok that would explain it, i must have miss read the op because i thought it said everything was included in the zip. but thank you i will give that a try

tried it that didnt work either unless i had the wrong gapps, if you could direct me to where you got yours that would be awesome

Why why why can't we be as advanced as the captivate?!!? Updates every day. I'm happy we're making progress through the crap, but what makes the captivate more important than us?

Does anyone know of a way to make the volume keys wake the device? Done a search, and didn't come up with anything for cyanogen for the fascinate.

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Because God hates you.

Stupid question, stupid answer.
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
You do not flash gapps. It IS included in the Tom. When you finish setup you will get a window allowing you to choose the gapps pieces you want like maps gmail and everything else, at this point it will begin to download them from the market. The screen only shows up once so make sure you knock it out when it comes up. Hope this helps bro!

thanks thats what i thought, i have flashed cm7 to several devices and thats how it has always been. But i finally got it working. thanks all for your help
[Fascinate Android Development] jobu3434:
oh yeah sorry the past couple test builds that jt put on irc didnt have gapps included so i forgot that in 0609 it was in fact included. my bad. glad you gots it workin.
[Fascinate Android Development] CBMC:
If you don't mind me asking. What updates where in the "irc test builds" that aren't in the op test build #2?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I added bln back in, updated to latest cm codebase, and made some attempts at resolving the incoming call wake-up problem. Nothing major. Consider em nightlies :p

[Fascinate Android Development] HawaiianLaker:
before i came to this rom i was running Comm Rom 1.3 and using Wifi Tether to tether my SGT10.1 but now that i am running cm7 my tab no longer sees the phone. anyone know a fix other then rooting my tab. it worked before im just not sure why it doesnt now.....as the only thing i have changed was the rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
LED Flashlight?

Anyone find a flashlight app that engages the Camera LED that works in CM7 and Glitch kernel...I have tried a dozen or so and none will power up the camera LED.

EDIT: Opps...already a thread on this in the general section...my bad
[Fascinate Android Development] mirrinigma:
If you delete a contact on your phone using google contacts it's removed from the cloud. This is where backup assistant is superior to gcontacts, for many people. Please do not rationalize with "Well, if you were going to delete in the first place why bother retaining the contacts?" because sometimes people make mistakes and that's part of what backup assistant was for. I know it's not going to be around for CM7 but that doesn't mean I have to stop preferring it.
[Fascinate Android Development] NoHolidaysForAHooker:
for anyone having in-call audio issues where the other person can't hear you, try and go into voodoo control and turn off hi-fi recording. i didn't know i had it on before on a conference call and after i was playing with settings and noticed it was on. on another call after one of the parties in the conference call commented that they could hear much better.

also, from his twitter imnuts updated this rom today http://imnuts.net/nV9zDO. although i'm not sure of the changes yet
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
For Verizon contacts, easiest way is to open contacts storage before flashing CM and choose the menu option "Export to SD." After you've flashed CM7, open contacts storage and this time choose "Import from SD." It took me flashing back to DL09 to figure it out, but it beats transferring them to Google and whatnot...
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
thats the only response i have because you can't just accidentally delete a contact. if you were drunk or something and did something you regret, nothing can help that.

you know you can have your contacts in google and also export them to your sd card also right?

so many reasons not to rely on BA.....just sayin' if that's what you like, go ahead, just know it's completely unnecessary
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
Well thats what you get for getting drunk
[Fascinate Android Development] shorttripp86:
I think I saw someone mention it earlier, but I can confirm that an easy fix for the GPS is using the app GPS Aids. Just be sure to choose "Other" under the "Select a device Brand:" drop down menu, during initial setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
It doesn't work for everyone, wish it did though.
[Fascinate Android Development] shorttripp86:
Did you try setting the NTP server to "World NTP Server" under the preferences menu?
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I chose to give up Glitch in exchange for the caller to be able to hear me. My phone runs great with the CM kernel and I don't have a volume issue. It's when I flash Glitch that the volume issue appears. With Glitch running the option to 'load sound driver' is not even an option, and that's what fixed mine.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hilbe:
Thanks! Updated :)
[Fascinate Android Development] vlucchetti:
How did it work for that 7/24 kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
It wasn't me, notice I was responding to someone else.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
i did not see this on his twitter page... where did this link come from?

Edit: nevermind... I was looking at JT's twitter page, sorry
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
What's this "load sound driver" option you refer to? Or rather, where is it?
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I've got Voodoo Control Plus ($), not the free Voodoo Control. Once it loads press the menu button, sound kernel module, then check or enable "load sound driver". This option will not work if you're running Glitch.
[Fascinate Android Development] soloblazer:
I asked this several pages back, but still have the issues, please help. thanks

Just installed rom, but have one major issue, wondering if anyone can help.

My phone thinks there is a wired headset or headphones plugged in. there is the headset icon on the top. And since it thinks its in headset mode the phone wont ring or i cant talk on it, i can use the bluetooth but not the actual headset. The phone was working great before i flashed it, i have done the wipe of the cache, data, etc, and have done it 3 times now and as soon as it boots it thinks its in the headset mode. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it.

I have tried to plug headphones in and out and still the same. I flashed back to froyo and it works fine, and then flashed back to this and same thing again.

Anyone else having this issue.

Other then that, the rom is very nice and fast.

Thanks and sorry for reposting it, but really need it fixed.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Since it sounds like you can still get to all your data, I would do a backup of all personal data / anything that can't be re-downloaded easily, Odin back to stock (don't forget to include the 2.2 PIT and check "re-partition"), follow jt's instructions to install CM7, and (finally) restore the aforementioned backup(s) from your previous CM7 setup.
[Fascinate Android Development] soloblazer:
Thanks for the reply, but i did odin back to stock and tried what you said, as soon as it boots up it shows the icon in the top before install anything. i odin to stock and go to evil rom and works fine, and then odin back to stock and back to this rom and same thing. i even downloaded a widget that lets you turn the headset on and off and does the exact same thing.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I wonder if the kernel could cause that. I might try flashing Glitch kernel on top of the rom and try it. You could always go back if it doesn't help.
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
try flashing this utility tool before flashing the ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090127

you flash it in CWR and flash it INSTEAD of wiping data, cache and dalvik.... it does it for you.

It is a great ext4 formatting tool.... download the one that says (formats everything)
[Fascinate Android Development] sorb3t:
I've gotten it to work. I installed both wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk and wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk. First I load wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk and try to tether, and it will get stuck on obtaining IP address. Then I turn that off and turn on the v3_1 and try to tether, and it will get stuck obtaining IP. Then I turn that off and turn the other one back on and it connects! Works for me every time now. Running this and tethering stock unrooted Tab 10.1. Hope this helps.
[Fascinate Android Development] jazzyjames:
Yup, it works for a little bit, but then stops working after a few hours.
[Fascinate Android Development] aolander:
Curious, this leads to navendrobs cwm3 ext4 formater. Does it work with cwm4?
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
It did for me
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
As I understand it though, CM7 and MIUI don't exclusively use ext4, so I would strongly advise against using that tool as a precursor to flashing a non-TW rom and kernel. The CM7 install reformats your file system as needed. Besides, unless you flash a Voodoo kernel and enable lagfix immediately after using the the tool, you'll end up with a plain old data wipe and stock recovery at best. Also, when using Odin, the following points are crucial, yet easily forgotten: ONLY use the USB cord that shipped with your phone, and ONLY connect it to one of your computer's integrated USB ports (ie the back panel, not a PCI slot or external hub). I also recommend testing your cable, as a worn connector will easily bork a flash. To do this, connect your powered-on phone to the charger via the USB cord and verify that the phone is charging. Next, lightly jiggle both connectors one at a time and see if the phone stops / restarts charging. If minor jostling disrupts the connection while both plugs are fully seated, the cable should not be used for flashing; you might still be able to recharge with it, but I'd just deep six it...
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I've just updated to the 7/24 release and noticed that the sound driver loads automatically as mentioned in the quote above and you don't have to go in and enable it manually. My sound still works fine across the board.
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
I'm not sure about microphone issues, but I bought VC+ and tried what you suggested and IMO it didn't really make much if any difference, at least for ear/speaker loudness. Minimal at best. Unticking every option in regular VC seems to help about as much if not more, but all are still sorely lacking compared to the dangerous-sounding levels of volume that TWiz roms produce.

Not a deal-breaker as I could never go back to VZW roms, but annoying nonetheless.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I guess I just got lucky then. The person on the other end of the line could not hear me before but after that change they could hear me almost whisper. Don't know what it was but that helped mine. Sorry you spent the money with no improvement though.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Regarding the sound module, what the Voodoo Control Plus app can do (among other things) is load the Voodoo sound driver on a stock kernel via root. If your kernel already includes the Voodoo sound driver, setting the Plus app to load its own driver over the kernel's can cause a conflict. The exception (that I've verified, at least) is if your (TW at least) kernel uses an earlier version of the driver. Long story short, if your kernel has Voodoo sound, ONLY use the free app to avoid issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] Holliday:
Installed this ROM and Glitch's kernel yesterday and I have to say holy crap is this thing smooth. Best UI experience yet.

So far my only issue seems to be intermittent network connectivity issues. Does not matter what app I am using(Facebook, Market, browser), but every couple of clicks or more and I will get an network error and simply hitting back and trying again usually works. Sometimes I have to do it a few times in a row, but I always get passed it. Annoying, but definately not a deal breaker.

This was happening when using wifi. Testing it using only 3G right now. Seeing if I can isolate it.

Mod

CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Fascinate-KANG-0717

Baseband version

V.EB01

Kernel

2.6.35.13_Glitch-V11
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
I've found that simply activating and then deactivating airplane mode seems to resolve those issues when they pop up. It's only a band-aid (or "adhesive strip" if your name is Dante), but it's less of a pain than a battery pull. All that said, have you tried a different radio? It's only been a couple days, but I'm having a lot of luck with ED05, CM7, and Glitch, myself...
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
I get the same thing on MIUI with Glitch Kernel, and EC01 modem. For me It happens on 3G and WiFi.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Yeah, I bought Plus while on UKB and was a bit bummed to find that the free version is all I need for CM7. Think of it like this though: Consider it more of a roundabout donation to supercurio and Project Voodoo. Since his brilliant work seems to be integrated into (as far as I know) practically every current Fascinate kernel (not to mention those for numerous other SGS models), be confident that your money was still well-spent :)
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
It's kind of a pain but try turning off 3g when on WiFi. It works for me. It seems that the fix to get MMS to work may be impacting the way WiFi and 3g interact. I know for me, if I had WiFi on, the market would ignore it entirely and try to use 3g anyway. Turning off the 3g radio has helped. Still will very occasionally have to toggle wifi on/off but this has helped a lot. Drawback is obviously you won't be able to send/receive MMS but there are issues with that on WiFi anyway.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Are either of you using custom voltages? My distinctly non-expert, non-empirical gut feeling has me wondering if it's the radio, but that's not a fun fix nor a solid conclusion to base on a sample set of, well, 2 people. Try resetting your voltages and see if that helps. Remember to clear any boot settings you may have in Voltage Control.

EDIT: Almost forgot... which leakage version of the kernel are each of you using?
[Fascinate Android Development] MJMcMahon:
where are you guys finding these newer releases? I've tried registering for updates from CM and, of course, it doesn't work at this point. I've looked at the CM forums and didn't see a fascinatemtd section??
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
I'm -50 on everything, and I'm using HL at the moment. I'll try clearing my voltage settings and test it out for a bit.
[Fascinate Android Development] akellar:
I had the issue on "stock" and Glitch. And it's likely not the radio as I am on USCC.
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
That may help, especially if you're OCing at all. YMMV, but I wouldn't recommend anything lower than -25 on frequencies over and including 1000Mhz on Glitch. If you try a different kernel, keep in mind that some of them come pre-undervolted and usually have their settings listed in their associated OP.
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
ya so..just tried a wired headset..volume is muted when bar gets to half mark..on full its quite loud..one click down and its too low...Bluetooth its more gradual, but still goes mute about half way..the built in earpiece is the same way..I do have the options in voodoo control off, so that does help a little..glitch kernel..not sure if there is a difference on stock kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
you know what this sounds like to me...

It sounds like the value to increase the volume in software is being increased linearly when it should be increased logarithmically .. Or maybe the other way around. I'm starting to think I'd like to get my hands on the source code, muhahaha
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
I flat-out don't know enough about the interactions between carrier and radio firmware, but my gut (remember, he's impulsive and poorly educated) has me wondering whether the radio can be ruled out solely by virtue of the carrier. I have zero experience with USCC, so let me see if I can find someone better-suited to advise on your issue. Also, if you have the time, I would greatly appreciate if you could direct me via PM to the source of your info so that I can bring myself up to speed. No worries if you're busy though.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
High school physics FTW
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Out of curiosity, what's the bit depth on your source files? Might not be the case here, but upsampling 16bit to 24bit can play all sorts of havoc on your dynamic range. IIRC, our beloved WM8994 does 24bit, but I'm not sure how that's handled at the kernel level. IS THERE A DEV IN THE HOUSE?!?!
[Fascinate Android Development] jami2976:
A couple of pages back someone posted the link to a newer release
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
Clearing voltage settings doesn't change anything so we can rule that out. Also, now that I look at it closer the data issue only happens when both wifi and 3G are on so something is messing up the way they interact like you (or someone) said.
[Fascinate Android Development] rigglemania:
Oh no worries, that's what the 15-minute refund window is for :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Jazz848:
Just a thought... if you add a Power Control widget to your home screen, it first takes you to an extensive config menu. Near the bottom, check out the WiFi settings, particularly the toggle for "Wi-Fi disables 3G; 2G when Wi-Fi enabled." I'm very curious to see if this helps at all...
[Fascinate Android Development] BSayre18:
I was wondering if anyone could help me. I posted before, but haven't fixed my issue. I am not able to install any apps or flash the gapps. Every time I flash gapps it says install complete, but then after a reboot they are not there. I get to CWM through the power menu options. So, I decided to try to install the amazon market and get apps through there. However, the market installed fine, but the apps will not install. I've went to stock and back to CM7 several times and have had no luck. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] JOrtenzi:
GAPPS does not put the apps on your phone (except for the Market) what it does is put a prompt for the first time you open the market to install them all from the market
[Fascinate Android Development] sendan:
I'm almost positive this would work, considering disabling either WiFi or 3G almost always makes the other connection work. However, can I receive calls and or text messages if I'm not connected to 3g?

Edit: Okay I guess calls do work, not sure about text messages though.
[Fascinate Android Development] HawaiianLaker:
awesome! that worked like a charm, you saved me. thanks a bunch. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] scarmon25:
Text and calls are over basic connection. Only thing 3g effects is data such as internet and mms.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Fascinate Android Development] prenedo:
I may have missed something in the past 3XX pages, but wireless tether is an option in the advanced power widget. Hopefully that helps...

How's everyone/anyone feeling about CM7 and the new ED05 radio? I was flashing alot these last few weeks and jacked up my partitions (I'm pretty sure that's what happened, ROM's would take perfect for like 24 hours than FC's all day). So I ODIN'd this ED05 package from the stickied post and came on over to CM7, no major issues yet, but have been reading some negative things about ED05.
