Hey folks, owner of the GApps host here. Could I get a few users running this to test a new Google Apps package, and report back?

Info, link, and place to report to: http://redd.it/jq0eu

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Is that the new 2.3.5a package or what?

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Samsung Mesmerize] drmacinyasha:
It's for 2.3.5, yes, but the main thing is that Market and Talk have been updated. Talk now includes voice/video chat for all devices. I want to make sure that it works properly. It *should* work with 2.3.4 as there's no real difference between them, as long as the ROM's not too old. I just require 2.3.5 in that post so that there's no several-months-old ports being tested and bawwed about.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
gotcha. well I've got miui so I can't use it, we already have the latest 2.3.5 packages.

I'm having some trouble with the Wireless tether... I want to be able to use my phone to tether to my HP TouchPad, but it doesn't support Ad-Hoc networks. I tried using the built-in Wireless Tether in CM7, it sees it, but can't connect out to the internet. Same with my laptop. It can see the connection, but it can't get out to the internet.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Try using the pre-alpha of wifi tether and setting it to nexus s as the device.

[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Will do. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] canaanp:
I can confirm that the wireless tether app in the market works just fine.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Sorry, I typed wrong and left out a part:

For device profile set it to Google NexusOne, for setup method change it to Netd (master) and that should work right.

Here's the link:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta5.apk&can=2&q=
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
I changed to Nexus One, and left everything else as-is and I can see the wifi tether and connect to the internet via the TouchPad. Very cool, makes that $150 32GB tab useful on the go now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] canaanp:
That version caused my phone to reboot... there is no difference between it and the one on the market except you can choose a device profile. The one in the market works well, so I'm not sure why anyone would want to use that beta version.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Because some devices can't get internet via the adhoc method of the market version. The beta supports infrastructure mode which will work with teblets and such.

You were saying the newer version can be run from a tablet, which is irrelevant.

[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
No you jackass, he wasn't saying the beta can be run from a tablet, I don't know where you got that. He was saying some devices cant use adhoc as a means to get an internet connection over wifi, and the version of that app from the market tethers through adhoc. So he was saying try the beta version which supports infrastructure mode and not just adhoc.

Quit bickering and pay attention.
[Samsung Mesmerize] canaanp:
Jackass, seriously? I know exactly what he's saying, I use the market tether app to give my laptop wifi internet as well as my ipad. I understand that this touchpad thing may require some special voodoo to make it connect but has the OP even tried the other app? The built in tethering does not work for me, which sounded exactly like what he was describing.... so my only point that I have been trying to make this whole time is that the very same effect could probably be achieved by using the standard app in the market instead of using an unstable beta version.

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
The built-in tethering from CM7 didn't seem to work, neither did the one from the market... Hence why I asked for other options. I needed something that had infrastructure mode, which the beta mode does. It's slightly unstable, but it gets my tablet online through the Mes, and that's all that matters.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jt1134:
If ihave time tonight I'll do a fresh mesmerize build since it hasn't been added to the cm buildbot yet. Built in tether should work now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
That would be awesome! I assume updated to 2.3.5 as well?
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
I had already established that the built in didn't work and that he had tried the market version. I also knew beforehand from my own experience that the touchpad (and many other tablets) does not play well with ad hoc tethering so I suggested he use the beta (on his phone!) to run tethering in infrastructure mode since I know that that will give the tablet the internet connection.

Never did anybody say to install tethering on a tablet, that would be a waste of time since the tablet doesn't have internet unless you tether it from a phone or use wifi.

( edit: Sorry for posting the same solution sage had... some how the xda app didn't refresh correctly)

Check out the latest wifi tether app ... you may need to check out their site and get the beta version.

You'll need to change the the device profile and definitely the setup method (softap most likely)

That should do infrastructure mode over the default adhoc

Good luck

Settings/About Phone/Status - but if you didn't know what it was before you won't know if it changed now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
Ah. I will remember that the next time I do something stupid.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
There were some mentions in IRC last night about issues with roaming. I don't remember if it was with this or MIUI but I will share here anyway. It appears that CM7 defaults to home location only and you have to change the settings to allow roaming networks. Go to wireless & networks, mobile networks, and set up the roaming options. You will likely want to reboot at this point.

If someone knows of a reason that this would be a bad idea please let me know but I don't know why it would be a problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
There could potentially be a problem there because of networks, if you have data roaming enabled but your plan doesn't support the area you are in you could incur charges. I personally have never had that problem when roaming/travelling but some people might.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Wyman881:
Can we make a backup then restore to a different ROM?

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Mesmerize] MrSpradlen:
No, the recovery is different from the one that you use for non cm7 and would have to follow the instructions in the op to do so.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BubbaKush:
This is best rom I've used since using ROMs on this bad boy, which was the first PnP for the showcase lol.

Netflix works, YouTube works again, got the camera back, and its the fastest out there. Thanks everyone who made this gift possible ha.

And sidenote, wtf @ the address for the GAPPS lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] foofoo982:
Flashed today and works great so far. Really really fast. Just had. To change the updater script.
[Samsung Mesmerize] godofwar762:
flash miui mtd first then cm7
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
Just a message for everyone I flashed MIUI before this and it destroyed the data on my sd card in the process...dammit....Rocking CM7 now tho and it was worth it... Titanium backup pro synced with drop box worth every penny! Stable overclock to 1.4 ghz too wicked fast!
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
well i was talking on my phone today when it died. When I charged it some and turned it back on it was stuck in airplane mode. I tried everything even dialed 911 and it tried to activate the radio with no success. When I checked my prl meid all of the stuff was gone. I flashed to stock then to ee11 and i get a bunch of errors when trying to flash it again. error 7. idk
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Does anybody know where the setting is to make holding the back button kill the active application? I enabled it because it seemed like a good idea but now the buttons keep getting pressed randomly, it's really annoying, and the active app always gets closed. I can't for the life of me find where the setting is to turn it off. Help! haha it is pissing me off.

Yeah I was at work so I was worried and brought my laptop. Flashed back to stock till I got home then had to patch to her it to reinstall because I kept getting errors.

Alright I flashed this last night and no complaints so far except for at work they have a verizon extender and now my phone does not pick up a signal from it, before it was roaming and 1x but it was alot better than having no service at all. I have both of the roaming settings checked and I have rebooted and pulled the battery but could not get service off of it. Am i just out of luck now or anybody have any more ideas?

Ok, Showcase here..

I've tried everything I can think of, but I keep getting stuck on "Installing update.."

I changed the updater script already, which helped it get past the abort message, but still won't install.
[Samsung Mesmerize] andrewc513:
Flashed this and the Gapps on my bosses phone, cannot add a Google account. When you go to add an account, it takes you straight to adding an Exchange account, you can't choose to add a Google account. So... no Market, Gmail, etc.

He's on the Showcase, not the Mesmerize.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Fixed that, now Market downloads are unsuccessful. Trying another wipe now. Permission fix did nothing to help.

Portable hotspot on CM 7 Showcase

Does anyone have the portable hotspot working? I would like to share wifi with my Samsung tab 10.1 as wireless tethering ad-hoc doesn't show up on the android Samsung tab 10.1. Portable hotspot wifi shows up but will not connect to internet sites.
[Samsung Mesmerize] godofwar762:

Again, wireless tethering ad-hoc doesn't show up on android devices But the built in wifi hotspot will!

I can't confirm anything for sure but you should give the experimental prewhatever version of wifi tether on the Google code site. It has multiple options for network types that might work for you.

Wow... this is VERY well put together. Love it! Only snag I had was having to modify the updater-script but only took a second.

Thanks to all involved.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Actually doing a complete Odin reflash with all everything checked to the Stock ROM will put the PRL back to what it was on stock (Which will be an Odd number instead of Even). Of course this will also remove the programming in the phone as well.. *228 with Stock will now do Programming over the Air, so if you do a full wipe, reboot and do a *228 it will re-program the phone for you (as long as you are in a USCC area)
[Samsung Mesmerize] myjellio:
All of that is ad-hoc!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Masta Of Evil:
No, doing a stock Odin flash will not reset the PRL, i will still be the same......
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Are you sure that it wont work? I've used tethering with a 7" tab before and it worked fine.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Yep you are right, my bad... However using the Samsung PST will do what I state. However thats an internal USCC tool.. Uses the same ROMS too, so it is stored in the flash ROM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Got my camera flash working.

Talked to jt about it on twitter and he pointed me to this link:

http://t.co/ZablxCP

Downloaded the libcamera.so from there and then renamed mine in /system/lib to libcamera.bak, copied the new one over, rebooted, and viola camera flash.

Note that things like Torch.apk and TeslaLED still do not work as the kernel uses them in a different way, but this will fix flash for when taking pictures which is great.
[Samsung Mesmerize] andrewc513:
Very strange issue here on the Showcase. After a while of sitting around doing nothing, the phone will start to do a very soft ringing noise. Almost like a call coming in, but it's not the ringtone. If you hit the volume rocker, you can change the noise's volume, and the volume will say "in-call volume". But the phone is, with 100% certainty, not in an active call. The only way to stop this noise is to actually place a call, or reboot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Thats called a phantom ring. Very common on all aosp builds and really nobody knows why it happens. Just place a random call to some number (63917473960, just spaz out) and it will go away.

So this is the first time I've used this rom in a different town, and suddenly my phone won't get on us cellular. It worked fine at home but now it thinks its home network is verizon. Any suggestions? And I can only get data - 1x - if I turn on international roaming.
[Samsung Mesmerize] btoast777:
Might be a silly question, but would the "fixed deep sleep" kernel on the MIUI forum post be compatible with this ROM too?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
Even though the sensors are "fixed" they are quite horrible and have some major issues still.

Load up Google Sky Map and try to use it. We had a huge delay in the fireworks tonight so I loaded it up to show a friend how it worked and to show off my phone... Quite Embarrassing to see it running like Quake runs on a 386 CPU. Needless to say it didnt impress them one bit.. lol!!

[Samsung Mesmerize] secbrad:
I am on the Showcase but I and others(Mesmerize, Fascinate, Showcase, and any other phone running CM7) have experienced this same problem. I had to Odin back to EE23, showcase only, with repartition checked and everything eventually went back to normal. While typing this I realized that I am still not being very helpful but there are certain files that should be flashed to fix your certain problem. I'll look around and post back if I find something if you haven't already fixed it.

I also need to add that I attempted to Odin back using a different file and I started to get errors in recovery which made me have to flash the certain file. APN settings will have to change for your phone to recognize what Network to use and I don't know how to do this. If you can't find the answer you will probalbly just have to Odin.

I ended up taking it back to ee19, and it's running fine now on stock. On vacation, so I probably won't screw with it again till I get home.

Already missing the awesomeness, tho.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
The APN Settings cant be changed on this or the MIUI ROM at the moment. They dont stick or use the saved data. Its a known issue, and I am sure it will be fixed at some point (its also one of the reasons the MMS doesnt work as well - Note I said ONE of the reasons..)
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Yea, I'm sure he's just not even bothering with setting the APN until MMS is working properly, so no need to worry about it at this time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cythrawl:
I also forgot to add that its the PRL not the APN that tells the phone what networks to use and not to use. Its basically a database file that tells the phone what towers the carrier you are using has roaming agreements with. If there is a problem with the ROM reading the PRL this would cuase this.. not the APN.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Hopefully the new build will be here soon. Seen update for fascinate and deep sleep problem fixed as well as camera flash

No...just the kernel that came with it. I did a Data wipe and it seems to be running better now. I figured the data wipe before the flash would have been good.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I've look through her and not found a solution to the problem of flashing this.

When I try I get error 7 and when I change the updater script I get error 4.

What would cause this. Also I'm running ee19 pnp and cannot flash anything in CWM. No kernels or themes. Always aborts installation. Could it be a CWM issue?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
OK so I decided to take the leap and holy cow. This is freakin sweet. Used the updated kernel from nem and so far so good.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Circle. Sounds like it. I used a specific CWM by jt made for flashing cm7. Its in his thread in the facsinate forums

So far the only issues I have had has been with my apps. And that's due to some not being made for gingerbread I think. As far as the rom it is running great. I did read on this for about a week before flashing and decided to odin the full ee19 build first. Then flashed the rom. Booted and then flashed gapps and nem's kernel. Couldn't be happier :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
I got the Error 7 until I enabled lagfix then it flashed for me. Try that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
If you flash and use the fixed CWM he has posted in his original fascinate thread, I think it'll solve the issue too.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Gotta a question and sorry if this has been answered before. The stand alone zip. It fixes the things that OTB fixes? Also. How many are using the OTB kernel and do you think it performs better than the included one. Just wanna make sure I got everything so I can get the best experience. Thanks for any input.
