[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bobloblaw1:
Short answer: A lot of stuff in CM7 works. Somethings such as MMS do not. Whether you consider that build working depends on your needs.

Now, I don't say this to be mean. I say this to prevent you from numerous headaches and issues.

Basic reading comprehension and a willingness to search and research independently are required if you are going to successfully flash new software on your phone. That is to say little about bleeding edge Cyanogen which has its own set of eccentricities currently. If you don't have the time or patience to have those qualities then you should skip this process because you WILL end up with a "brick".

Again, I don't say this to be mean or cold-hearted. It is simply fact that if you aren't willing to invest the time to be painstaking in your steps and research that you will end up with a brick and very unhappy. Sorry to be a downer.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sneakysolidbake:
Hate to be a downer but its not really any different than installing another rom. Not that doing your own research is a bad thing but you seem like you're trying to frighten people. This phone does not brick easily. The only difference here with cm7 is that you have to odin to get off it.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bobloblaw1:
A person who can't take 30 seconds and read the first post in either of the two cyanogenmod threads and has to ask needs a dose of reality.

And yes, the phone is quite recoverable but only if you know what you are doing. We have seen enough of the "i've spent the last 12 hours trying to recover my phone because I flashed xyz incorrectly" to warrant some caution.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stephenwdaniels:
Why so grouchy?

At least the question wasn't posted in the Dev forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116424

That is where the info for the closest-to-pure CM7 ROM there is on the site.

WARNING: If you don't like it or it happens to brick your phone, you will need odin and a good working image to go back to. These are available on the site. I strongly recommend you find them and familiarize yourself on the how-to of those before embarking down the road of CM7.

I ran TestBuild2 from the above link for sever days. It is nice but has too many stability defects to be reasonable for me because I use my phone for work.

[Omnia 7 General] edefux:
Hi guy´s,

a couple of days ago I bought a T-mobile branded Samsung Omnia 7

System Ver: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware Rev: 2424.10.10.6

Hardware Rev: 3.15.0.4

Radio SW: 2424.10.10.6

Radio HW: 0.0.0.800

Bootloader Ver: 4.10.1.9 = "faulty" locked bootloader

Chip-soc-Ver: 0.36.2.0

HOW TO:

1. In order to debrand the phone I used these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973420

(since the bootloader ver 4.10.1.9 is locked, I had to get the updates (two!) through zune to unlock the bootloader. You can use the USB-Jigg as well to get rid of the faulty bootloader. After that I flashed back to I8700DBTJK1

2. Now you can do the "Chevron Unlock". I used these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127

3. Use tomXAPinstaller to keep the phone from relocking with samsung_tools.xap and advanced_config_tool.xap

4. Install the latest updates.

5. Enjoy!

Now you have a debranded and unlocked phone with the latest updates (7392). You can install custom ringtones, sideload apps, etc. pp.

Cheers

ede

ps.: advanced config tool crashes when you hit "prevent phone from relocking", but it is working anyway ... no relock through zune (sideloading apps still works).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pintycar:
Hi,

I've been terribly fustrated by the inability of the Desire HD to focus in low light (i.e. pub/disco). Usually, my previous phones would use the led first TO FOCUS and then again to take the picture. The Desire HD doesn't do that and hence the pictures are 99% out of focus and over/under-exposed.

Do any of you know of any way to fix this? Any app? Or is it simply just that crap?

Thank you.

I didn't even notice the lack of a Samsung note app.

I always just use Color Note from the market anyways. Odd that Samsung didn't include one, but they're are plenty of free alternatives.

I'll wager there are plenty of folks who would ***** about a Samsung notepad being bloatware. ;)

[Thunderbolt General] blmartin:
My Incredible is currently on its last leg...random reboots/shutdowns and I'm outside the warranty. I'm currently rooted, running CM7 and I love it (CM7 and my Inc). I don't flash roms everyday or even every week (really haven't changed since moving to CM) but I like having the flexibility to do so if I want. So the question is do I go with the Thunderbolt or the Incredible 2?

The 4G on the Thunderbolt would just be added feature to me...nothing I need. I looked at the Thunderbolt yesterday and it seemed bulky compared to my current Inc; before that I was set to buy the Thunderbolt. So now I'm struggling...do I get the Thunderbolt that has root or get the Inc2, which I like size wise but only has temp root (and hope full root comes along)?

Question: Rooted Thunderbolt or Temp Root (for now) Incredible 2?
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
Rooted/Unrooted shouldn't be an issue.. the Inc2 will have stable root for sure.

I am myself coming from the incredible.. (which too I loved).. but I don't regret going over to the TB. The TB looks damn good.. better than the incredible in my opinion.

The extra real estate comes in handy quite a bit when you are browsing or when you are typing.

4G is a HUGE factor for me. Now that I have 4G all around my area.. I can't imagine going back to 3G. Market updates on the go are a lot faster.. downloads are a lot faster and apps that depend on the internet are a lot snappier..... plus the fact that VZW is offering unlimited 4G for 29.99 sweetens the deal.. (not sure if that offer will last for long though).

The bulk factor of the TB that you are talking about..is something you'll get used to within a few days.. so it really is no biggie.. but of course it feels builky to you now because it is new... and you are still using your incredible... But trust me.. after a few days.. it'll feel right.
[Thunderbolt General] blmartin:
Thanks for the quick response. I really have been trying not to factor root into the equation. Are there stability issues with the TB? I've been reading the TB forums for a week, since I decided I needed a new phone, and it seems like there might be issues. I also asked some friends at Verizon what their thoughts were and they pretty much told me to steer clear of the TB for now due to buginess...has that been your experience? I don't expect to have some of the problems they mentioned since it most likely wouldn't stay stock for too long.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
It depends on what you are running. The latest MR2 has been as stable as a ROM could be... battery life even with 4G is pretty decent... no random reboots.. 4G to 3G exchange is seamless.. and over all it is pretty stable.

Gingerbread on the other hand has memory issues, battery issues etc.. though over all it IS kinda stable with the newer radio..

I don't think the leaked GB RUU is as stable or efficient as the latest FRoyo.. and most of them out there are running GB mainly because of the sense 3.0 lockscreen and weather aspects that have been cooked into it (they ARE pretty cool).. but honestly for me.. the stock MR2 Froyo is rock solid and unbeatable.. and I can easily wait until a better GB RUU is dropped.

You have 2 weeks to try out a new phone anyways.. so get yourself a TB.. root it.. install the MR2 stock.. and see how you like it..

If you don't.. then return it back to stock and exchange your phone for something you'll like better.
[Thunderbolt General] Carnage9270:
Another thing that a lot of people don't really mention but has a huge impact on how you use your phone. 4g allows you to browse the internet, recieve emails, texts etc while youre talking on it. Kind of nice in some situations. I take full advantage of it.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
excellent point.. but I believe it is possible only on 3G with the Thunderbolt (correct me if I am wrong).
[Thunderbolt General] blmartin:
That is what I thought as well...think I'm leaning that direction at this point.

I didn't think about that...good point. 4G might be a selling point for me after all.
[Thunderbolt General] kriskmk:
Once you experience 4G .. you wouldn't wanna go back to 3G.. plus the fact that you are getting 4G for the same price from VZW (cheapest in the industry at the moment).. is too good a deal to pass over.

Also factor in the fact the verizon's LTE network.. is wayyy better than sprints WiMax's or AT&T (infact ATT even released a statement that their 4G is not as advanced as Verizon's).
[Thunderbolt General] dwittmier:
I have the Tbolt and my son has the Inc2. Both have been kept stock (no rooting/roms/etc) and neither one of us have experienced any of the problems that others complain about in the forums, with one exception. Both of have occasional problems syncing multiple email accounts. We live in an area with excellent signal coverage so I don't think that is the issue.

I liked the (slightly) smaller size of the Inc2 better (coming from an Imagio) but have gotten used to the Tbolt. I now prefer the larger screen since it is a bit easier on my eyes. Both phone screens are clear and bright. The on-screen keyboard is easier (for my fat fingers) to use on the Tbolt since it is a bit larger.

The external buttons on the Inc2 are better. The ones on the Tbolt feel mushy but work ok.

Speed of the apps on both seems similar. There is, of course, a bigger memory card on the Tbolt.

Inc2 is global, Tbolt is not so if you travel out of country a lot that might be a consideration.

We live in a 4g area so we can compare network speeds. This is where the huge difference is. The Tbolt download speeds on 4g typically run at 20 to 35 mbps. The best the Inc2 (3g) gets is 2.5 mbps. We can download the same program at the same time, and I will be downloaded, installed, and playing long before my son is finished downloading. I didn't think I would care that much but the Tbolt is a real pleasure in that regard. Unfortunately battery life on the Tbolt is somewhat worse as a result. The Inc2 will consistently go the whole day without charging. The Tbolt seems to be much more random, sometimes getting through the day (16-18 hrs), sometimes half that even though my usage is fairly consistent from day to day. I've disabled/changed settings on all the usual suspects without much effect.

Call quality, bluetooth, speakerphone, and voice commands are very good on both phones. Cameras work well on both.

All things considered, I do not regret getting the Tbolt and probably would again, even though the battery life is not the best. The only thing my son would change about his Inc2 is the lack of 4g. Otherwise he loves it.
[Thunderbolt General] blmartin:
Thanks for the comparison...it sounds like the TB size is something I could get use to. I think I'm leaning back towards the TB at this point.

My DIY - Using Defy original retail box. Cutting, folding, align and done.

Magnet at the back(near USB port) is use to trigger the Cardock and HomeDock based on its polarity. Never use strong magnet as it will damaged your Defy. Some custom rom might not working if your cardock.apk or homedock.apk has been removed, depending on your running firmware or custom rom.

This is simple, easy and free.

Mine running rooted Gingerbread 2.3.3 with original motoblur home screen, it worked nicely.

A few pictures to show it on the dock.

I will upload my DIY video to youtube with same title "My Defy CarDock and HomeDock - DIY"

Edit: Here's the youtube I made. Watch HERE
[Defy Accessories] scrannel:
You do not need a magnet to get those dock formats. The car dock comes with a short cut and you can make one for the desk dock.
[Defy Accessories] farsight73:
Yep, it's true... but it would be awesome if you put in a dock and it transformed automatically and goes back to default screen when you take it away.

Besides, I put these shortcuts hidden too. :D
[Defy Accessories] t1MzN:

What effect do you mean? Or the animation of the screen auto rotate? This animation is available from setting - display. Not sure your rom have it or not. Try set your animation to 'all' and see.

BTW: I have even better dock: my laptop has so big speakers that when I put my defy on it (under numeric block) it turns to homedock :D
[Defy Accessories] farsight73:
The HomeDock is for you to see the clock, play your favourite music or have your picture in slideshow. Even if the phone goes to sleep(under clock mode), just press the volume and it goes back to HomeDock. This HomeDock is like your bedside clock.. So from now on you can throw away your conventional bedside clock and have Defy sleep beside you... :D

i am searching hi and lo for the pinouts of the usb port and still cannot find the secret behind the cardock.

where did u get the datasheet for this?
[Defy Accessories] farsight73:
It's not from the usb pinouts... it uses magnet to trigger the Defy into CarDock or MediaDock depending on the polarity of the magnet placed at the back of the Defy.

It´s really done by a magnet? Umm have to try that :)

Thanks for the hint!
[Defy Accessories] farsight73:
Yes, by a magnet. Try put a magnet near around the usb port. Never use powerful magnet or your phone might damage.. Still depend on which custom rom you're using as some custom rom has the cardock.apk and mediadock.apk removed.

The magnet in the car dock has a different polarity from the magnet in the home dock thus causing the different docking apps to activate. But, unless you removed the app shortcuts you don't need a magnet. I use mine in either format w/o any magnets.

Great work!

Maybe a Magnet will make your works better.

Try to put a Magnet near home and menu button,See what happen!

(Maybe different rom have different effects.)

If you are satisfied with the effects,Try to set a magnet on your docking at a right position.

Wish you success!
[Defy Accessories] nutzu4ever:
Really good idea :)

I want to try it out. What magnet do you recommend for using?

Genius!
[Defy Accessories] LeoShi:
Actually,There is a hall-ic designed in Defy to detect some peripherals like Docking,Cover...

Flip phone,some laptops also use hall-ic to detect flip.

So,I think magnet is not the important problem if the magnetic force is strong enough.

The position where the magnet set and the direction of the magnet is important.

Set N or S vertical to DEFY at the right position will make it work well.

Before you set the megnet into your dock,find a small magnet and try it first.
[Defy Accessories] farsight73:
The Milestone mediaDock can be DIY to fit the DEFY and it look almost like original DIY docking. You would need to reposition the usb charger and the magenet. I made my CarDock And HomeDock DIY as shown in first post with only light magnet just enough for the device to triggered into the CarDock screen and HomeDock screen.

I would still prefer weaker magnet to start with. Who knows too strong magnet would damaged your internal system/boards. Defy came with built-in E-Compass and it required true magnetic field to work properly in pointing the right directions. Having strong magnet for the docking would interfear the calibrated compass or worst damaged it.

The display screen is another one which I think couldn't stand a strong magnet either putting in a very close proximity..
