I'm using the aosp launcher. Removed adw and set launcher2 as my system launcher. I just like the simplicity of it as well as I never have any issue with it. I do miss some of thd features of other launchers but in the end I just like the plain old android look and feel of it.

I have considered MIUI.but for me it just seems too appleish. I'm sure its a great ROM and it looks like it is very well made. But I just don't think its for me. And that is why I love android. Each person can have a differenr phone and different look and feel but its still android OS so one works with the other in most aspects.

I have been watching XDA long enough to know that he is working on it. He does have a life as well so I know he will get it to us as soon as he can.

Patience Grasshopper, good things come to those who wait.:D

while your waiting, you could try the MIUI rom. It is also MTD so flashing to CM7 won't be a big deal. I have been using it for almost a week and have had no problems with it and everything is working on it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
I would recommend making a nandroid of your CM7 and trying out MIUI with Launcher2. I know with LP you really didn't get any "MIUIness" other than the settings menu.

I do like the AOSP launcher...I actually miss the AOSP lockscreen (simple slider). It was my favorite.

Never hurts to try. Just restore if you don't like it.

Hitting 2100 Quad/16-17 Linpack. Just a hair over my CM7 benchmarks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I probably will at some point. Normally takes me getting bored and haveing flash withdrawals :D to try something new. So yeah. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.

[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
It was quite a bit before I tried it...but like you said, you gotta go where the development is.

I've gotta learn how some of this works...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah me and you both. I would love to be able to help out around here with porting a rom here and there. Don't think I could ever do true development but simple things would be nice

[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
I've dabbled in programming J2ME in the past...but it's not the same as this.

I'd like to sit down and tear apart one of these ROMs to see how they interact.

Know what they use for emulators?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Nopie but there is a guide in here somewhere about setting up an android unviroment and how to do that. I would assume whatever it tells ya to do would be what they big guys use to do what they do.

[GUIDE] How to set up a basic Android Dev Environment

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Oh, I already did that.

I just want to find a way to test builds before flashing them.

Edit: Wait...that shows how to create a virtual environment! :-)

Errrmmm....rfs...only? I will have to read much much more.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Oh I don't know bout that. I'm sure there's a way but damned if I know :) . Since Android is linux based I would assume there is some way to do it through a linux distro. But other than that flashing and trying it out is about the only way. Plus it would be hard to test things like data and sms ect through something like that

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
All I really care about is not bricking, since it's my only Mes.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Ahh gotcha. As long as you don't hose download mode there's not much you cant recover from. I've bricked mine so many times its not funny. Oding a full build with repartition checked does wonders. Not saying it can't be done just that its alot harder to do then on some phones. This is definately a good phone to learn on, or at least that's what I've been told

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Then I'm not too worried.

I bricked my Samsung Instinct a few times...unbricking was a pain to figure out, but easy once I did.

I wonder what you CAN'T repartition from...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I would assume anything that kills download mode. As long as that little yellow bastard pops up its all gravey :) but I have seen one that wouldn't but iI honestly think he fried out the phone with too much over clocking. So anything that caused a severe hardware failure or screws the download mode.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
No sweat, then.

Thanks for the dev link!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah hell I bricked my wifes today and still don't know how. All it would do is flash the samsung logo. Wouldn't even let me into recovery. Fixed it in like 20 minutes thanks to odin and nandroid its back the way it was. :)

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Your wife is mucho laid back, then.

If I bricked my gf's she'd probably lose it...lol. She's ON H57 right now, but complaining about battery life...debating whether MTD is ready for her, yet.

She might like MIUI...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah. I showed her screenshots of miui. Gonna flash it later today and let her see it first hand. May end up doing hers too. Just have to wait and see.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Funny, my wife is on cm7 5.1 or whatever our latest release is, and she really likes it. Better than h57. For whatever reason, on h57 and even bone stock, her phone kept random rebooting and stuff. But ever since flashing cm7, no problems at all.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Yeah I have to say I havent had any real issues since being on CM7. Other than the ones mentioned in the OP. There's even been a few issues I was having that CM7 actually cleared up for me.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
The only issues I can complain about are the phantom rings and the sluggish camera. The call volume is low, but I can live with that (I hate talking on the phone anyway). The other thing was when I got hit by the roaming bug at a time when I couldn't odin to fix it and had a day out of town without a phone. But that's just a risk of flashing.

This is by far the fastest rom I've used and really has far fewer bugs. On H57 I was getting reboots every 3 or 4 hours.

The only other real complaint is the stupid soft button weirdness that is on all roms (ie when you lose the signal and the phone pitches a fit).
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I tell ya what. I set a ringtone through the zedge app and haven't had the phantom ring since. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not but thought I would throw it.out there. The only issue I still have is when someone calls I get a small generic ring then my.ringtone starts playing.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
I will give that a try, thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
I found that waiting a bit before answering helped.

Almost like the phantom times out.

I heard there was a setup like this that let you OC to 1.7ghz is that true?
[Samsung Mesmerize] con247:
Part of the changelog is a bit confusing to me. What are the current issues with this rom aside from MMS? Does it still freeze in sleep or whatever? Or is it a daily use rom?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Definitely a daily driver. Sleep was fixed by nemesis2all and JT, but Glitch seems to be more battery efficient...search for their kernels.

MMS, Phantom Ring and no torch feature are the only things missing from this, AFAIK.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
Does anyone have a link to the glitch kernal.

Don't change your settings from "Home Only"!
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:

(extra question marks are to reach 10 characters.)
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
Unless something has changed recently; Cellular South users cannot change their settings from "Home Only", if you do you will not be able to get a signal and your phone will connect to Verizon towers. I had to Odin back to stock, do the adw data fix, then reload CM7 and leave on Home Only.

Good to know. Thx man I knew it was something I shouldn't do so I wont. I very rarely go out of town so I should be fine.

Also last question. Should I go ahead and flash the dock,compass fix. Thx again.

Anybody who can answer my quick question will have my eternal gratitude!

So currently I am on a stock Froyo USCC ROM (rooted) with one of JT's TouchWiz kernels with the lagfix enabled and I have red CWM 2.5.x.

If I am understanding correctly, I am able to flash this ROM in my phone's current state using cwm and it will work off the bat and also update cwm for me?

Or is there anything else I've also gotta do? Thanks guys! JT is going to go down in history as a god!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Same thing. I can receive em tho.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Well hell. Receiving is all I care about as I never send any mms.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
I would recommend updating to CWM3, but yeah...that's the jist.

Wipe data, flash in CWM3, it will reboot into CWM4 (blue)...wipe data again and flash from there.

I wipe data a lot...lol.

Oh...backup first (I feel like I say that a lot...).

What app are you guys using for SMS/MMS? Just the stock one, or are you using a 3rd party (like Handcent)?

TB is restoring right now...but I noticed with the stock Messaging app there is no "return" button...stupid smiley where it should be.

Odd.

Running very smoothly, though. Going to test MMS once I'm done with the restore.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Is it absolutely necessary to update to CWM3? I thought it's still supposed to flash with 2.5.x.

Also what do you mean flash in cwm3 and then flash again in cwm4? Do you have to flash this twice? For the gaaps do I just flash that after I've got the rom flashed and everything?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I use the stock mms app

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
CWM3 just plays nicer, from my experience.

When you flash the file in CWM 2.5/3 it will install CWM4, then reboot itself. Once it reboots you will have to flash the same file (it checks the MTD state, to ensure you are running CWM4/MTD filesystems). Wait a bit and revel in the glory.

Yes, flash gapps from CWM4 (blue) once CM7 is done flashing.

Side note...restored using TB and everything was going well. Gapps started FCing, so I decided a reboot was in order...shut off, pulled the battery, booted up...and bootlooped.

First time for that on CM7 for me...never showed anything other than the droid rolling in, circle 2-3 times, freeze and restart the cycle. No Samsung or Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen.

Reflashing now...see if it happens again or if it was just a bad flash.

Going to just stick with the flashable Gapps this time...lol.

Forgot to uncheck "repartition" when flashing CWM3...interesting "!" between the phone and computer image once I tried booting...lol.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Hey so I have a weird issue. I have CWM 2.5.x and I just flashed this ROM for the first time, coming from stock USCC Froyo.

It said it was installing CWM 4.0, then rebooted, and entered in what appeared to be CWM 4.0 and then proceeded to flash the actual ROM. This all went without error, and then the next time the phone booted it had CM7 and seems to be working great.

So then the next order of business was to flash gapps, so I booted back into cwm, but oddly, it was still 2.5.1.x red. I thought that CWM 4.0 got flashed? Did something not work right, and how can I get the new cwm?

Anyway, I then flashed gapps in cwm 2.5.x and that said it also worked successfully. But on a reboot of the phone I don't have any market and I can't seem to find a way to log into my google account. Anybody know how I can fix these issues? Aside from this the rom seems to be working perfectly.

I had originally backed up my APNs from the stock rom before ever flashing anything and restored those after flashing the new rom from JT last night. I would've assumed that would have been enough, however the settings were slightly different then what's in that post and changing them did the trick!

Thank you, sorry I missed that. I was just very excited to get going with this ROM! :D

By the way, one thing I've noticed is that if I try to power the phone off while it's plugged in, it just restarts, and if I plug it in while it's off, it turns on. Has that happened with anybody else and is there a way to fix it? If not, it's really not that big a deal.

Another quick question here... I installed the SPB Shell 3D launcher and set it as my default, which all worked great. But now, auto rotation does not seem to work.

Thanks the the tips, I've tried both but the rotation still does not seem to work. Is the setting to enable/disable it the one where you just check all the boxes for 0, 90, 180, etc.. or is there a master setting somewhere?

Also, one other issue, I've used TB to restore some of my apps, and it worked fine and the apps work fine as well. But they do not appear in the market as installed and therefore will never get updated. Can I get my restored apps to appear in the market?
