This CM7 rom is not mtd right? I'm using it and it seems to work fine although it's not adding market links for me so now none of my apps will get updated though the market, is there any kind of work around or fix for that?

EDIT:

The rom has mtd in the name so I guess it is... what problems does TB cause? If it replaces busybox, then uninstalling TB isn't going to bring back the old busybox will it?

I don't think so. The Fascinate builds don't work on the mesmerize, JT has to port them over.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
When that happens. Try turning on airplane mode for a minute then turn it off.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
False. I've had TB on my phone for every MTD Rom for the last month or so and have had no issues from it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
Tried that didn't work. It could be cs. They seem to do that from time to time but if not then I don't know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
I am in N Ms, I am having the same problem right now with CS
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
Ok 3g is back. I tell ya when my contract is up I'm going to Verizon. Unless cs seriously upgrades their service.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
I just spoke with a CSR; they said the system was coming back up, should be back up next 10 to 15 minutes.

I switched to Verizon for about 2 wks; no different except better phone selection, and higher plan rates. Both carriers talk off the same towers (cdma).
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
Anyway back on subject. Can anyone tell me how the autobacklight settings work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] stephenj37826:
Hmmmm i was told on irc that there is issues with it. I know i would Odin to eclair to ee19 run rfs formater and still get force close hell after a week. I don't since i uninstall titanium. Maybe its my phone but i doubt it . This also happens 3 or 4 times
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Do you have the paid version of TB by chance? If so you can open it hit menu, more, market doctor.

Otherwise you can try clearing market data and/or upgrading to new market (assuming your on old one). I say that because the new market linked everything on my phone including stuff I didn't install from there. YMMV.
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Maybe I got lucky, but like others have stated, I have had zero problems with restoring apps via Titanium Backup on any MTD rom. Make sure you are not restoring system apps as well. That'll probably break ****.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
This is the first mention of it I have seen anywhere so I would guess it's something in your setup. A lot of people have TB and had success using it to restore on both MIUI and CM7.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
So I have one more minor issue with this ROM... in the browser, it is not formatting text to fit on the screen without scrolling sideways even though I have that option enabled. I also tried Miren Browser which is what I used on my old ROM and it too is not formatting the text even though the setting is enabled. Does anybody know why this might be happening or how I can fix it? I tried clearing the data for both browsers and that didn't work. I do a lot of reading so I'd love to get this working :D

Thank you! I cleared the data for the market app and then all my apps showed up!
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
BLN

Are there any kernels around that support BLN (the app, not the one built into it)?

Reason being that I like the blinking/customization in the BLN app...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Honeslty don't know. The only mtd kernels I know of is the one included in the rom, OTB, and glitches. I don't think any of them support the app. But I could be wrong.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Same here.

I wonder if it's hard to add in the mod yourself.

Making my list of "wants"...

Torch Mode

MMS on WIFI

BLN Control

Native "Merge/Delete All Contacts" option
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Ok I am having a problem with MMS. I am unable to send them now. But when I flashed the phone this morning, I sent out several and they all worked. Now the phone refuses to send them. I think I may have cleared the dalvik and regular cache to try and fix something. Could that have tanked MMS??? Wifi is OFF.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Did you try the apn settings. I haven't had an issues since I did those settings

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
I'm a bit confused about what to do. In the APN settings, there is already a field for USCC, but I can't see what the settings are. When I try to create a new one, it says that for the fields that are empty, to leave them that way even if they are listed on the forum there. And almost all were empty except a few ports.

If you are supposed to leave them empty then what is even the point of having a list of what they are in the first place? And it's also confusing about saving them. Do you press the back arrow when you need to scroll down to save what you've filled in?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
There was only a few places left empty on mine.

All I did was added a new apn and put in the info that was in the thread.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
You can just edit the pre-existing USCC APN.
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Or install apn manager from the market.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
I actually had issues with APN backup (it failed anytime it tried to).

I have the settings for MMS memorized now, thanks to trying to get them to work with the last build of CM7...I was persistent.

APN manager looks like it's a pretty robust app. Personal Success?
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Ok, this is the weirdest thing. I've set the APN settings but I still have my problem. Although I think I found out more about it. I can send a picture. I can send a picture with text more than 160 chars, but I can NOT send a text with more than 160 chars if there is no picture.

Anybody wanna try this?
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Handcent or stock? In handcent there is a setting to auto split texts over 160. Maybe in stock too?

Edit: there is in stock too.
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
Apn manager worked great for me. For this purpose and also for backing up/restoring.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
I'm using goSMS and now I do have it set to split. But will I be able to receive texts longer than 160 characters? Can anybody else test if they can send or receive a text longer than 160 characters that does not have a picture with it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
I don't believe you can on cdma. They convert to mms or split.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
I was able to send and receive messages well over 1000 characters that had no image on the stock USCC Froyo ROM and on my old dumbphone from USCC. I did it all the time, that's why I noticed it didn't work right away. And they didn't split either. My family that is also on USCC sent me messages well over 160 characters and I got it as one message.

Exact same error I am getting on showcase.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
do you guys have your build.prop file altered to list your phone as something other than the mesmerize or showcase.

perfect example was the mods to make netflix work.

it or rather you had to change your build.prop to make it appear as if your phone was one that was auth. to use netflix for streaming.

did you do a complete wipe? data factory reset, dalvik, and what ever else?

do it again, atleast twice each. then make sure you downloaded the proper file.

might have to blow your phone back to stock, reroot, reinstall clockwork and then try and flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
for those asking about lagfix - this rom completely reformats your partitions to use MTD vs. BML that samsung uses - so there is no need to worry about it before flashing, and once you're on the rom you won't be enabling/disabling it because your rom will already be formatted.

And for those asking about scores - **** scores - i'll tell you right now it's super fast, unlike any rom we've had yet.

I will say this - if you rely heavily on getting phone calls, don't flash this yet - using softlocker hasn't worked for me so i'm still missing some calls when in deep sleep. remember, this is an ALPHA people.
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
I get this error, and my phone thinks it's on verizon. I can't recall how it got that way, but obviously it's something I did. It wasn't netflix.

But I wondered if this error had something to do with the file in the OP being named "update?"
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
Yeah, that's it. I went back to this post and installed the 6/20 build and then ran this build, and that worked.
[Samsung Mesmerize] godofwar762:
this is wut i did when i had tht problem flash a miui rom from fasinate and after u boot it up go to terminal type in reboot recovery and wipe data/cache,dalvik. then flash to cm7(mesmerize).. but stay in mesmerize radio the whole time.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
For those having issues getting CM7 flashed (you're getting an error code from CWM and installation is aborting) Follow the below!

Download this .zip here -> http://olvisfoundation.com/xdadump/bdemartino/ROMS/updater-script.zip

Open the ROM .zip that you downloaded from JT here in the OP - navigate to

/META-INf/com/google/android/

Delete the existing "updater-script" file

Drag the one out of the .zip you just downloaded and place in the ROM .zip. (I don't even extract the files, just use 7zip and you can browse the .zip without extracting.

After that, it should flash fine. Let me know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I'm using softlocker however CPU Spy is still showing some time in deep sleep. I don't know if I have missed any calls (unlikely as I don't generally get many) but any ideas why it would still be going to deep sleep?
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Quick bug report:

In call volume is still really quiet, idk if you could fix that or not but it has been an issue since the last cm7. I'm told that outgoing audio is also quiet.

DSPManager force closes every time audio things change, e.g. I plug in headphones or receive/end a call. I'm not sure if dspmanager came with your rom or if it has just held over from a previous rom but if you know a fix that would be great.

Apps that use the camera flash (cm7 torch, teslaled, etc.) don't seem to work at all. I've tried multiple flashlight apps and they don't activate the LED flash.

On the other hand, this rom is fantastic. Fastest my phone has ever been by far, and I haven't even installed anything to mess with CPU or voltages or anything whatsoever. It's so great to have a camera again. And to be able to actually use my phone while it is installing apps. Thanks again.

Quick question for anybody who might know: Can we use nemesis2all's OTB kernel with this or do we need to get a port first? It's been so long since I've done anything with kernels that I can't remember what is safe or not. I would really love to have some OC, voodoo sound, etc. on this.

Sent from my CM7 SCH-i500
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I am currently using OTB with no problems. Read the OP for voltage setting info though as too much undervolting can cause problems per nemesis.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
The LED flash isn't working yet, needs hacks to work and I believe jt will get around to it eventually
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
No dice. After replacing the previous updater-script file with this one, I get the following error:

E:Error in <location of the cm7 zip>
(Status 4)
Installation aborted.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
that's a new one :(, the person in IRC that had the assert errors was able to use it just fine, so hopefully jt can advise.
[Samsung Mesmerize] asmith001:
I can say that swapping the update-script in the rom .zip worked for me. Thanks, bdemartino... and others who helped!
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Thanks for the answers guys!

[Samsung Mesmerize] Masta Of Evil:
I think that would be a bad idea.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
damn....

I could not get this to install properly for the life of me. The very first time I flashed it, however, it worked fine, booted up and connected to network. I then rebooted into recovery to flash gapps and after that it again booted with the "touch the android to continue" screen, but no matter what I did, I could not get past that screen. I tried rebooting it a few times to no avail. I then odined back to stock ec10 and tried it all over again. That's when I started to get the assert errors and the status 4 error. I removed those 4 lines from the com/google/android/updater.script file and got it to start installing. Unfortunately it just hung up on the Galaxy S/Cyanogenmod 7 screen. After about 30 minutes I pulled the battery and tried it again. This time it went through the first part of the install process, but could not reboot into CWM 4 Recovery, it would just flash a few errors on the screen real fast then do it all over again... :mad: damn I'm giving up on it for now but I will try again some more later...:confused:
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
In case anyone wondered, netflix works on this!
[Samsung Mesmerize] MrSpradlen:
Woohoo! Wonder if my account is still active.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
It was converting the messages to MMS, period.
[Samsung Mesmerize] userno69:
Yes it was an mms but why can't that happen on cm7? I thought when the message goes over 160 characters it is automatically an mms?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Mines the same way. If I try sending a message over 160 without a pic it just sits there. So I just set it to split the message. Solved. I don't send alot of long messages anyway .

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] gIMpSTa:
That's a feature dependant on the app you use. Handcent has that option, again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I can receive text over 160 formatted as mms just fine. No pic attached. Just tested with my wifes phone. It didn't split it either. So easy fix seems to.be tl just set it to.split messages over 160. It has.no effect on receiving mms. At least not on mine

There is an option in tib to force it to use the system busy box and other system things if you are having issues with it.

Guys, my GPS does not work at all. I'm not sure what modem I have, but I do know that on the official USCC Froyo rom, the GPS did work. Sometimes I had to clear and re-download the GPS assistance data for it to get a lock, but it did work.

Now, it seems to get my location, but it will not work for navigation. It just has a large blue circle on the map that never gets smaller and says searching for GPS.

Has anybody else had trouble with the GPS or knows how to fix it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
I can get lock no prob but will have to wait till I go somewhere to test navigation. You can try clearing data under manage apps for maps and its associated apps. That's fixed problems like that for me in the past. Ill post back when I get a chance to test navigation

This is running great on Cell South Showcase. Best Gingerbread so far. Does anyone know if the mobile network settings have been fixed on this rom? Some other GB roms will force us off Cell South Network if we even open the mobile network settings. I'm afraid to even touch it.

It's fantastic to be back on Cyanogenmod. Thanks JT.

I agree. My showcase is now a new phone again. Would also like to know about the network settings issue.

[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Curious. Does anyone still have the deal were the people on the other end of the call say you sound distant. I kinda think it has to do with the glitch kernel and will be fixed in the next update but wanna make sure that's what it is

Edit. NM. Unchecking DAC Direct and Hifi Record in the Voodoo Control app fixed it.

[Samsung Mesmerize] analogfire:
Did anyone else have to use the "updater-script fix" to install this new version (0721)?

I tried flashing the new ROM and I got that "assert(getprop("ro.product.device"...." error.

so I tried inserting the "fixed" updater-script from the first release and the ROM will start to install, but after it boots into CWM4 it goes into a boot loop in CWM with some error that I can't read because it reboots too fast.

If anyone has any ideas let me know. I can still install the first release fine from CWM3.

BTW, I'm trying to install this on my Showcase.

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Are you trying to install it from the blue cwm4 or the cwm3 fixed for cm7

If you are using cwm4. Then may wanna do what I did and Odin to stock and flash it fresh.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] analogfire:
I used the three button method to boot into CWM3.0.2.8xti (red). The thing I don't understand is why the 0705 release installs just fine (using the fixed updater-script).

Is there a different CWM version I should be using? or should I just odin back and start all over.

I did notice that in CWM3 there are a lot of errors about can't mount /cache or /system...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Try installing the new version from cwm4. You shouldn't have any issues. Once the phone is on a mtd rom you can no longer use cwm3. So use the reboot to recovery from the power menu.

What little kinks do you speak of. I would like to know. Thx.

[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Well like the call volume thing and the color on.glitches kernel and the mms thing. The little things like that. They're minor little things and honestly I can't recall them all but little things. Probably not even rom related and just issues with my device.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
How would i get my call volume higher. Sometimes at my work it gets kinda noisy. And also what kind of problems are you having with Glitch's kernal as i am thinking about flashing it but cant make up my mind for sure. Thx again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
The call.volume issue I was having was others couldn't hear me. They said I sounded distant. I unchecked DAC direct and Hifi record in voodoo control and that fixed it. The ringer volume is still low but I think that has to do with the kernel. As for glitches kernel. The only issue was the default color of the screen was off. Thanks to everyone posting there color settings I was able to find some that make the screen look great. Other than that glitches kernel is freaking sweet. He will be updating his before too long and it will have fixes for volume and color in it. But until then these little work arounds work just fine for me

As for the ringer volume. I have messed with the DSP manager and made it a little louder. But that's about it for that. Haven't found a complete work around for it.

Tap-a-Talked from my CM7'd Mesmerize :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] 93foxgt:
OK thx again. My ringer volume is plenty loud. Also i havent had anyone tell me i sounded funny on other end of line. I think I may hold off for a min on the glitch kernal untill the update (been reading good things about it by the way).

If all else fails. Odin to stock and the flash fresh using the cwm fixed for cm7. But that recovery only works when on a tw rom. Once your on cm7 you have to use the reboot to recovery option under the power menu.

Ok this is what i had to do to get mine to work. I am on cell south however it should work.

Odin back to stock for your phone with repartition checked

Boot straight back into download mode and then Odin cwr 4 fixed by jt

Boot straight into recovery using 3 button method

Flash CM7 7/21

This is what worked for me after about 4 tries.

Anyone else having issues with WiFi downloads? Mine will work if I disable/enable it, but it just stops working after a little bit.

I've tried rebooting and a battery pull, both with the same result.

3G works all the time though, but I also have a download cap and it's slow as hell. lol

Edit:

I also had to remove the assert in the update script in order for it to install... I came from stock froyo.

I actually got 0721 to install finally, I did have to edit the updater-script and remove the first couple lines that were erroring out in CWM. I ended up installing version 0705 and then installing 0721 from CWM4.

Only problem now is getting 3G to work, the indicator displays but data is not working (tried switching airplane mode on/off)....I'm going to try reinstalling again.

Did anything change from the last release to this one that would cause problems with 3g. I am on Cellcom in WI using the showcase so maybe there are some small differences.

Update: reinstalled ROM, cleared partitions/cache, still no data...
[Samsung Mesmerize] sreister:
Ahh, after some help from the guy's in the IRC chat, I got mine working. Here are the steps. Also, I'm assuming you will all clear data when able to.

1. Went back to Stock USCC Froyo

2. Odin CWM2.5

3. Odin CWM4 fix for CW7

4. Flash CM7

5. Flash GAPPS

It was buggy for a while, after a few reboots it seems to be in working order. It's amazing how this can breath new life in my phone!

PS Thanks to Skeeter_ and Sighcosis for the IRC Chat help!
