I was trying out the "hold back button to kill foreground application" feature and had a thought, can we have an option to set one of our quick keys to kill foreground apps? I'd love to have a dedicated "kill" button lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I FREEZE the adw launcher in Titanium Backup for that 'just in case', I install adw ex - which i find to be a most premium launcher over the free version.

One time i uninstalled the launcher before installing another one, which made my screen black. Everything worked like it should, its just there wasn't a launcher. Well, instead of re-installing the rom, I simply click the search button (far right hot key) and searched for 'any' android launcher online, which directed my to the android market, which then I simply installed my ADW ex launcher.

I know it's my personal opinion, but the adw ex launcher runs WAY SMOOTHER than it's free counterpart.

Cheers :)

When I plug my phone into my computer via usb my computer is not recognizing it. Not the computers fault since my sisters stock g2 is doing fine. Any help?

That works too, but the average flasher who doesnt know would get the black screen and have no idea what to do lol

I changed my lock to the gesture in cm settings, but Ive realized that simply sliding out the keyboard unlocks the phone without doing the gesture, what setting am I missing?

I don't know if is a bug or is supposed to be like that, but every time I restart the phone my render effect reset to no effect. I'm trying to use N1.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The phone will always wake when opening the keyboard... even the stock ROM was that way. The only way to keep it from doing that is to set an unlock pattern or password.

I finally took the plunge and made some time to update to CM 7. I have to say that I can't believe I waited this long!

Everything is running is smooth as butter for me. Can't provide feedback on battery life just yet as I have only been running it for about the last 12 hours or so.

I love the new options for the lockscreen but one feature I am really missing is the option to be able to add custom text to it. Is there something I'm missing or has this feature been removed? I know there is an app in the market that does this, but the built in feature looked much better.

Great work CM team! Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Damn... seems kind of pointless to even use any of the cool CM locks then if they are that easy to get past.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Lockscreens are there to keep you from accidentally pushing buttons on the screen while it's in your pocket. Passcodes are are there to keep people out.

I think you need to re-think your strategy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YaKillaCJ:
+1

This is a nice idea. I mean its perfect for the G2 since I really dont use the quick keys anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
I mean, in my vocabular, anything with the term "lock" or "code" has to do with keeping everything out. This is my first android phone and with every other phone Ive had, any kind of lock that was more complex than swiping something, was meant to keep a person from unlocking it.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
Iphone also uses a swipe for unlocking the lockscreen if you don't use the pin or password feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HaMaHa:
Under the regular setting menu in the security section there is an option to use a lock of your choice (pattern, code, password). I use this feature and when I open the keyboard from a screen off state, it will ask me for my pattern before I can access the phone.

If it's not a problem with your ISP, then try to update the latest radio and match the rils.

I'd advise you to not match RILs, rmk (who created the automatcher) says that it often doesn't work as it should on AOSP ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I've heard the same story. However, with a stock cyanogenmod rom without ril matching I get no data connection when the 3G icon is on. I only get data when H is on and data drops when it changes back to 3G. With the latest ril_automatcher with .30 radio support I get data connection also with 3G icon on. So, it seems to be working.

Hello

Does this Rom have Danish/Nordic keyboard built in ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yes it does, but it doesn't have ä's and ö's in the default Finnish layout for example. It's better to download this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free and this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.languagepack.da and choose them as default keyboard.

Keyboard issue when adding a new contact

Hi all,

I am experiencing following keyboard issue, when creating a new contact (via exchange activesync):

-in phone number section of a new contactt, when I use HW keyboard and push FN button to enable numbers (arrow above the cursor) and type for example 123456780 it display 1937898467 instead of 1234567890.

So when I want to create a new contact, I must use SW keyboard, othervise I am not able to add the right phone number.

There was a Desire Z keyboard fix in MUIU section of ROM Manager, which fixed that, but now it's gone.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

EDIT: found and executed the MUIU fix, but the issue still persist, it's really very annoying....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
Anyone got a fully working flash yet? I tried the new one but it still doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
It's not a glitch or a problem; it's treating the keys as letter on a numpad. For example, the letters PQRS are on key 7 of a numpad, so pressing the R key on the hardware keyboard gives you a 7 instead of the 4 that's printed on the keyboard itself... make sense?

I know it's a little weird but that's the way it's designed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] doubleingram:
Thanks for info,

it's really a bit confusing, at least for me, but I will deal with that....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rohitramu:
Flash isn't working properly for me either, I just get a black box where the flash video should be playing. However, audio does play and the progress bar for the video does appear to work fine.

Anyone have a fix for this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Go into terminal and type:

su
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

Should fix Flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
easy fix:

press alt (not twice - if you alt-lock it won't work) and then the number you want. it will work normally. press alt again and enter the next number. etc.

this quirk (I don't call it a bug ;)) has been around since the beginning.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
You know, while that works, I think it would be easier for folks if alt-lock gave us the actual numbers printed on the keys and caps-lock gave us the numpad letters 'feature'.

If only I was familiar with Android coding I'd submit the change myself; doesn't seem too hard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
What does that do? Anyone else confirm this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
I'm not sure, never used that. Go to the g2 general form and lock for the flash fixed for cm7 thread. Easy fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
It might be the way it's designed, but that doesn't make any sense design-wise when we have a hardware keyboard with numbers on. The hardware keyboard isn't being supported properly at that point.

Thanks for the info though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Yes it does work. After installing Flash 10.3, open the browser, then close it, run terminal emulator, type in the commands and that's it.

It works perfect!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] doubleingram:
I think exactly the same..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
It changes the priviledges for the flash's config, if I remember right the meaning of 000, it's write protected. It should fix it and also is safe to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Sorry for this question if the answer is right in front of me....

Does anyone know the original Radio img used in this? I flashed a few different radios to test them out but the original worked the best and want to revert back to it. I did a quick look in the change log and couldn't find any info.

few days i ago i swaped my sim card with my brothers (same phone/carrier) to check if it was the sim card causing errors in his phone

When i put it back into mine i lost service and got reboots every few minutes

finally, I reverted to my nandroid and it says it got service but calls/texts/3g dont work :confused:

if anyone could help that would be much appeciated :)

P.S. My brothers phone has no service but doesnt have random reboots like mine. Im thinking new sim cards
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
You can try flashing the baseband for your country again through AOR, maybe when you switched SIM cards, you got some but not all of the APN's needed for 3G, SMS, etc.

Other than that, it seems like your SIM card might be broken.

[HTC Aria Android Development] ChargingPaladin:
Flashed RC1 about 3 hours ago. (with kernel DC891). It was nearly unusable (slow) at first. Reboot helped a lot and speed seems to be improving with uptime. I've been watching for inordinate CPU usage but nothing out of the ordinary yet.

Looks like 7.1 final will be a good excuse to do a full wipe and clean install.

Flashed to above from nightly 111, DC87, gapps 613

[HTC Aria Android Development] ChargingPaladin:
It seems like I've been having awful battery life since nightly 111 + DC87 but I haven't done any real testing. Just reset battery stats to see how it goes. During the battery stats process, the phone was up with 18.5hrs of "normal" use before dying, so I might just be imagining things. :p

If it starts acting up again I will do a full wipe and stay with stock CM kernel to see how it performs.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I'll look at it, but a bad fingerprint can have a pretty negative impact on Market. I'd want to use one well tested before putting it in an RC. I am less concerned with the version of the fingerprint than compatibility.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Nice job devs, RC1 is running nicely!

I'm sure I missed something somewhere regarding this explanation, but adb gives "error: device not found" when trying to connect.

Wasn't too big of a problem, I just did it from recovery instead, but thought I should mention it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
2 things could cause this. You either don't have the HTC drivers installed or you have not enabled USB Debugging on the phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Jimmeh83:
Thanks, USB debugging was turned off for some reason. I have used adb to access the device before on this machine so I was sure the drivers were correct. I guess this preference must have been reset somewhere along the line.

[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
To those having battery drain problems. Which governor are you using, because I Drowning says that there is a problem with smartass2 in 88 and 89. I think the problem had something to do with the CPU not going below 768, which would drain your battery kinda quickly.

BTW, I am using 7.1 with Drowning 891 with the interactive governor and the battery life is as good as it has ever been.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I am one of those seeing some battery life strangeness as well.

Some time ago I updated to 7.0.3 with one of drownings 7 series kernels - and my battery life became fantastic - was averaging 3.5 - 4 % battery use per hour over a charge, with moderate usage. I stuck with this setup for over a week with that type of performance. I was running smartass 120/600.

My rom flashing addiction then took over, and I've been through quite a few setups since then. never got that fantastic battery life back. I am currently on n110 and drownings 8-9-1. Also running smartass 120/600.

Since I can't seem to nail down any particular cause for the change, I'm now doing a battery calibration to see if this makes a difference. First run from full to dead immediately after wiping batt stats was 12 hours, 6 of which I was sleeping. Not great. On seconf run from full charge, and used 24% battery in the first hour (very heavy use, screen mostly on)

guess we'll see...
