[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Just thought this would be helpful and possibly remove some clutter from the actual dev thread.. so now people can find fixes to some common problems without having to look very hard or ask.. Will update if I see anything new.

Oh and I assume no responsibility for anyone that decides to use any of these fixes. I just decided to consolidate everything I could into one thread to help some people.

Before I download CM7, I want to follow the creator on twitter!

OFFICIAL MR2 OTA RADIO

CM7 as it is is built off of and tested on basebands 1.16.00.0223r and 1.16.00.0402w_1. I personally have reliable data on the former, but recently few have posted that the latter retains 4G after a reboot. Get your radios below.

**As of RC 1.1, there are two separate builds, for those of us that want to use MR2/MR2.5, and those of us that wish to stay stock. YMMV.

Where can I find GAPPS?

I’ve been using the same GAPPS for every release, Lithid’s 5/04 GAPPS, which can be found here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?p05q54839gjzt

Note: don’t download the larger file, it’s not for our phones :)

6/13 GAPPS, heard they didn't have gtalk with video, but they're newer if you're into that ;)

http://goo-inside.me/gapps//gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

This GAPPS includes Gtalk with video, while the 6/13 GAPPS in Rom Manager does not.

GPS:

1. From your CM7 rom, boot into Clockwork Recovery.

2. Back up your CM7, and wipe data/cache as well as Dalvik.

3. Flash a Sense based rom.

4. Boot into Sense based rom.

5. Turn GPS on in Sense based rom.

6. From the market, download GPS Status & Toolbox (free, unless you’re in a giving mood)

7. Open GPS Status & Toolbox, hit menu, then tools.

8. Hit “Manage A-GPS state”

9. Hit “Reset”

10. Go back to tools, and “Manage A-GPS state”, and select download.

11. Go outside, or near a window and point your phone to the sky. There will be two numbers near the bottom right of the compass denoting how many Satellites you’ve found and how many fixes you have. (I usually get 8-11 fixes on 8-11 satellites but it should work with less fixes and satellites)

12. Straight from this screen (if you have the power menus), reboot into recovery leaving GPS on.

13. In recovery, wipe data/cache as well as Dalvik.

14. Restore your CM7 backup, and you should now have GPS :)

Where can I get kernels for CM7?

You have a few choices:

The stock kernel which has been reported to work very nicely.

Why do I have worse signal on CM7 than I do on Sense-based roms?

In short, you don't. AOSP roms usually reflect your DATA signal, not your signal in DBM which is your voice signal. If this really upsets you, some themes make it look like you have more bars :)

In Call Volume Fix (ALL RC's)

This was originally released for RC .4, and some say it is not needed on RC .6, but here it is if you’re still on .4, or maybe still aren’t experiencing adequate volume on RC .6.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121517**This has since been updated to work on ALL releases currently available.

Phone not ringing when called:

While there are no *definitive* fixes for this, there are two things that people have reported as working..

1. If you have Google Voice tied to your mobile phone, delete your mobile phone number from the GV website, and then re-add it.

2. Go to Settings > Profiles > Manage App Groups > and delete the Phone(or dialer, not sure which it is) from the application groups window.

4G does not stick:

I recommend MrB’s method of getting 4G to stick if you’re having problems. I can’t find the thread right now, but since I’ve done it so many times here is the process:

1. Go to Wireless and set yourself to CDMA/EVDO auto.

2. Wait for a solid 3G connection.

3. Switch your radios to CDMA/EVDO + LTE auto. (Even if you don’t get signal, it’s ok)

4. Open up Rom Manager, and select Fix Permissions.

5. Let the phone do its thing, you’re free to go make a sandwich (this takes considerably less time on a fresh install due to the lack of apps)

6. Once Fix Permissions is finished, GO BACK TO THE WIRELESS SETTINGS, and turn your radio back to CDMA/EVDO auto.

7. Reboot.

8. Wait for solid 3G to pick up on the fresh boot, then change your radios back to CDMA/EVDO + LTE auto.

Note: This won’t work for everyone, I have seen plenty examples of it not working, but I have also seen plenty examples of it working as well. I do this everytime I flash a RC, and the only time I lose 4G is after a reboot.

Trouble getting 4G/keeping 4G? (cont.)

Simple fix if you're having trouble getting and keeping 4G, don't forget to try formatting your /system in CWM. (You'll have to reinstall the rom, so only do this as a last resort). It's under Mounts and Storage. :)

Sound only coming out of ONE headphone/Sound is mono:

I haven’t seen this pop up too recently, so I’m assuming it is fixed but most people have noted that if they start having this problem a reboot usually fixes it. IF NOT, open your voice search app (doesn't hurt to place a search), and then your sound should work :)

Try one of the older flash.apks provided here:

The plus side of one of these older flash.apks is the thread also has hulu apps attached ;)

Now that our phones are officially supported, be sure to uninstall any pre-support versions and grab the newest from the market :)

This is something handy made by breakerfall so all credit goes to him- What this setup does is if your wifi/data handoff isn't functioning as intended, this little popup reminds you to toggle your network settings after you come off of wifi ;)
