Hey anyone have their camera flash quit working on CM7? I am using the stock camera, miui camera 1.7 and an HDR camera app and my flash won't fire in any one of them. Ideas? I am on the release of CM7 for Fascinate, haven't done any of the recent nightlies but this issue was back on nightly 87 as well.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
I've tried CM7 several times and it always runs great but I always have the same issue. I might be on the web or XDA forum or pretty much anything resource intensive and the keyboard opens and the phone backs out of everything. If I could get help on this I would stay with it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
Sounds like an issue due to overclocking or more typically undervolting.

Either apply to you?

If not, I'm not sure. I've had the keyboard open up once or twice (during my whole usage) and experienced non-application-related force closes here and there (again, can count on one hand), but nothing constant.

Running the regular kernel that comes with it?
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
It's an annoying issue that is usually caused by low signal areas. Ssewk2x is on a mission to fix it over in the Glitch thread. I believe he may have done it with his last test kernel, try it out.

I live in a bad signal area so it plagues me usually, but it hasn't happened yet since flashing his latest test.

[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
Dunno man, I was in a massively low signal area all Summer and didn't suffer from this problem - only when I undervolted I ran into softkey problems such as the keyboard.

What problem I did run into, though, and it still exists in this ROM, is that in low signal areas you lose data, both 1X and 3G, and despite the similar issues, it's not related to the key jam-up on VZW end that an ESN swap can fix, and it's not related to the wireless/3G trade-off issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toddw:
That's exactly what I've noticed. Weak signal areas seem to make the problem really bad. If I've got full 3g signal it usually doesn't do it. I was running it just as it came, with no oc or uv.

[Fascinate Android Development] Dirt_Bag:
What is the "stock" CM7 kernel? Is it custom or Verizon?

I flashed Glitch v13.1 at the same time as CM7, but I want to go back to the stock CM7 kernel without reflashing the entire ROM. Is it possible to just flash the CM7 kernel? Will I be able to tether with the stock CM7 kernel without Verizon knowing?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
As the op says, all discussions of this rom has moved to rootz.

That said, if you want to stay on cm7, I don't think this time is being maintained anymore. Cherrykangs by makelegs may be more up to date.

As to your questions, verizon doesn't support custom roms so all kernels, including stock, are custom cooked. Custom kernels don't have the tether tracker but if you abuse tethering verizon will be able to tell by usage or deep packet inspection. If you want to go back to stock kernel reflash the rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] Syndacate:
I believe you'll be able to tether just fine, I think I was able to on the last CM7 build I used. You *should* just be able to load the regular CM7 kernel, though I don't know where you can snag it. Just installs via recovery, no flash.

Get with the times man, I'm on teambrissen's ICS build, soon to be CM9 (or already starting to be CM9), it's rock solid!
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirt_Bag:
Can I just do a recovery of CM7 over my existing CM7 without data wipe? Would that replace the kernel and keep all my data, apps, ans settings?

Do you have a link for the CM9 rom? RootzWiki seems to be down at the moment...

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
yes you can flash cm7 over the top of cm7 without wiping data...as for cm9 look around here in this section, its right under your nose.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dirt_Bag:
Can I re-install CM7 from CWM Red Recovery (Glitched), or do I need to Odin CWM Blue first?

My Fassy is quickly becoming unusable in it's current state, and I want to see if I can get it back to CM7 without Glitch while I am at work. If I need Odin, I'll have to wait until I am at home...

Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
glitch recovery...you will need to flash cm7 twice tho as it will bootloop back into recovery on the 1st attempt!
[Fascinate Android Development] dkotoric:
hey guys can anyone tell me if all these roms on her work with all fascinates, i just pucked a fascinate for telus and wanted to know if this rom will work

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
No....telus and the fascinate are completely different. If you see [Telus] in the thread title then your good, if not, well then stay away unless you want to end up with a paperweight.
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
Just wanted to report that I flashed this from AKOP. Omg this is so fast. No slow Downs like on ICS. Gonna be here a while! Please keep the nightlys coming!
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
What slow downs? Ics runs faster on the fascinate then it did on my gnex?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
seriously?? this thread is outdated and cm7 is no longer being developed.
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
Over the past few months that I have been on aokp and other ics roms, ics would start to lag after a few days. Even with nova I would get redraws. I would reboot a few times a day only to get the same slow downs. So like stevespear suggested, I wiped cache and for a little while it would be fast again. Then after a day or so it would crawl again. Even with oc and live oc I would get the same results. And all benchmarks I've run claim that r/w speeds of internal and sd are about half that of gb roms. I'm oc to the same speed I was with ics and am running much smoother. (1.4 w/ 233 gpu)

Ang while this thread is outdated, the dl link has nightlys up to a few days ago. I can't explain this nor do I know who is maintaining it, but I am glad they are. Everything is fast like it should be and every sensor a d light just work. Can't ask for more.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Install cache cleaner ng and let it run nightly or use the data data fix script. Problem solved.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
didnt realize cyanogen was still releasing nightlies for the fascinate. i figured it was all cm9 now, since that what the word was awhile back. i do agree cm7 is fast but i dont have any of the issues you do on aokp. also i wouldnt be suprised if you end up having the same issue on cm7 as ics since both are mtd and have a small datadata partition. point is you have to many apps on the internal storage....move some to sd and or follow what bobloblaw said... this topic has been discussed countless times. i have 35 apps installed with no issues and see no reason to have anymore. normall if i download an app, i freeze or uninstall a app that no longer is being used.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
I would also second what droidstyle said about too many apps being installed.

If you have to have 100 apps or whatever move everything "non-essential" to sd storage. I define "non-essential" as:

Not a widget on you home screen.

Not used daily.

Not running a background service.

If an app satisfies this criteria then move it to SD.

I would still recommend installing and sceduling cache cleaner ng to run nightly.

Taking these steps should eliminate the need to use the datdata fix but if you still have issuesthen run it.
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
Not to be rude, bc I do appreciate the responses, I am not having an issue with apps. I wasn't getting low space messages. I only ran around 40ish apps. The problem was that even with all the suggestions for oc and rom control tweaks I was having major lag after a day or so of usage. Sure I understand that we have very little ram, however, when I add a number to contacts and the phone app takes over 20 seconds to load, I consider this significant lag. And all apps were do this. Nova launcher. OC'd a little or a lot.

The deciding factor for me was just simply search Google to see if other people with different phones were having the same issue. And in overwhelming numbers even people with stock phones updated by carrier and brand to ics, they were having same issues as me.

There is no denying the new hardware rendering is great and prettiness is great, but maintenance is key. I feel I should be able to use the phone for what it is without problem, lag, or having to reboot or clear cache or have to worry about 5 apps optimizing it.

It's a computer. Imo it should run just as fast as day one all the time. Take care of maintenance by itself without bothering me. And accomplish everything I need it to. And Imo ics just isn't there yet. (as I'm a full time mac user, all this is true and so I expect the same out of other computers) So back to cm7 gb until this fall for a new contract and shinny new iphone.

I know, blasphemy! But just as Steve said, "it just works."

And btw I am very thankful for Android and all of our devs! It's great to see these phones are still unable years later and for now, not more hazardous waste in a landfill.
[Fascinate Android Development] davwman:
Been on glitched aokp 37 for about a week with no reboots and it runs just as fast as it did first flash
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
Dunno man. All I can say is I have been running Milestone 5 since it released a month or so ago. I use cache cleaner and also have about 40 apps. It hasn't slowed down a bit since I flashed it.

I guess it's possible you had a bad flash or bad partitioning or something. Also voltage and OC tweaks can actually hurt performance on certain SoC if they aren't particularly amenable to overclocking.

Oh well. No big, whatever works, right?
[Fascinate Android Development] thisguy23:
I understand what you mean. Maybe one day I'll give it another try. For now I'm soaking up speed my phone hasn't felt in a good while. I also understand the complexity of this new oc and have played with it through tons of possibilities. One thing I couldn't figure out was why my phone ran so hot on ics. Anything above 1170 and 117live oc my heat broke 44. On gb while charging and using the phone for stress tests I can't break 43 @1400 with 233 gpu. I've always heard some roms can make your phone run hot, but have never experienced it until ics. Amyway, thanks for your thoughts.
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
if it takes 20 seconds for a app to load imo the sd card my have issues. im using a class 10 and apps open instantly on aokp 37. fyi i dont use any overclock most of the time as it seems to introduce hot boots with certain apps. for voltage i pull -50uv across the board and disable the 100mhz step. everything runs rock solid and is fast like cm7. I really like cm7 aswell, but to say ICS is not ready is absurd. the folks who are making complaints about ICS roms such as AOKP, simply are not doing something right.
[Fascinate Android Development] bobloblaw1:
It could conceivably take 20 seconds from a class 2 SD card. With how cheap SD cards are nowadays it makes little sense to still be running a card that slow. Class 6 is probably the minimum I'd buy for the fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] sageDieu:
also by comparing it to a computer, yes it is expected that it would be slow after some use. windows has to be reinstalled after a while, all those commercials that try and sell you fake antivirus programs or "SpeedMyPC" or whatever BS are there because computers eventually slow down. it's what happens.
[Fascinate Android Development] shag_on_e:
Don't forget about the V6 Supercharger script guys. On gingerbread it's as easy as just running the script, no modifying services.jar. I've found that option 7 has the best performance as far as memory management goes for our phone, it completely silences lag and has options to flush caches and stuff, give it a shot and I can almost guarantee your lag problems will go away. I use it for every ROM and since you can customize your minfree values and launcher priority, it allows solid speed for any situation.

[Fascinate Android Development] Dirt_Bag:
Stuck on boot screen :-(

I can't get past the blue guy on the skateboard...

When I 3-finger into CWM Blue Recovery, it says:

"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command"

"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log"

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log"

"E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log"

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"

Tried wiping cache partition and dalvik cache, and the "fix permissions" option.

It's probably also worth mentioning that I get an error about not being able to mount /sd-ext/ and not being able to format the cache partition.

Running the CM7 kernel fwiw...

Thinking about taking this opportunity to flash CM9.
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Anyone have issues with the latest stable(7.2.0) or nightlies? I just rooted my GF's fascinate and got her set up with the latest cm7 stable but she's having these problems...

-Some weird data issues. Sometimes mobile data doesn't work, sometimes wifi data doesn't work.

-Gallery won't load anything. Just sits there empty.

-Her flashlight app would only keep the cam light on for a few seconds then it shuts off. The problem appears to be intermittent.

Is any of this stuff known to be an issue, and if so, was any of it fixed in the later nightlies? I'm wondering if I should try the latest nightly or just give up and go back to stock. Unlike me she needs her phone to work at all times and can't have the same expectations we would with hacking our phones(issues, bugs, sleep-deaths, etc). The stock software was bulky and slow so I was doing this to help her out but so far it's been more headaches than it's worth, nothing like my Captivate which runs like clockwork on the latest CM9 stable while awaiting CM10.
[Fascinate Android Development] A-L31:
Try geewiz, stock-ish with tweaks. There's still minor problem though.
[Fascinate Android Development] blaze2051:
try CM11 i tried the use them but it either doesnt install or it gets stuck in the boot screen

[Fascinate Android Development] shorttripp86:
My apologies. I've actually visited this thread multiple timed per day since it was originally posted, and have flashed both nightly updates, but somehow I managed to completely overlook that second post.

My bad on the above fail post.
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
Thanks, I actually just tried that a few minutes ago....still no dice. I wasn't going to ask any further about it here as it isn't that important to me....and it seems to have developed into more of a general theme struggle rather than a ROM-specific struggle.....although I really have no clue. It has certainly seemed to prove true that there is no real danger here....so I might keep trying some different things. If I do get it to work I will post the solution in case others are nerdy enough to care about what their phone looks like in the 6 seconds it is booting up.

:)
[Fascinate Android Development] wideopn11:
On your PC, open the Rom zip you are using, better yet make a copy and open the copy with winrar/7zip. Go to system/media and drop in your bootanimation.zip to overwrite the one there. Put the new Rom zip on your card, wipe cache and flash. Welcome to your new bootanimation.
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
Excellent. You were right. This seems to have worked perfectly. Guess the difference is in the scripting within the .zip files?

Either way, thank you.

On a different subject, when people talk about the "phantom ring" are they talking about a ring within a phone call?
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
No. They are talking about a low continuous ring that cannot be 'answered' and is not a ringtone ring. It seems to generally be an indication of a missed call due to deep sleep issues. I believe I read the nightly builds have this problem, though the more recent builds (pre nightly) had resolved this. The issue you are talking about is also verified, and has not been resolved afaik.
[Fascinate Android Development] Aali1011:
This is what i was talking about previously. The different stable builds should be identified and also have included their underlying issues that numerous people have experienced listed like the "phantom ring" or "deep sleep". It becomes difficult to read through and entire thread to know exactly what is going on unless you have followed it from the get go. It also gives people the oppourtunity to know what build would be best for them pertaining to their given needs.

On another note though I am still confused though as to how many stable builds there are and where to get the 7.25/7.26 build that has been previously mentioned.
[Fascinate Android Development] solido888:
I have been running 7/17 stable since it released. The other 2 builds you mention were released either in the old CM7 thread or on twitter by other devs. The nightly builds are not going to be accompanied by changelogs, and if this is a problem for you, do not flash them. Currently, as has been stated in this thread, the nightly builds are LESS functional than the 2.3.4 releases 7/17 7/18 7/25 7/26. Those releases will not see progress, the current 2.3.5 releases will, and they will be fully functional in time.
[Fascinate Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
Actually, the phantom ring will follow you into a phone call, making that phone call almost impossible to hear. It's only happened to me twice, once while on a nightly. I've gone back to 7/17 and will probably try the nightlies again once JT has merged a few of his fixes into the CM official code.

Oh, and spearoid, does the fact that you pointing out the posts you see as clutter is, by your definition, clutter bother you at all? Just thought I'd ask here, since I also answered a question.
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Actually I'm on 7/17 and have flashed the 7/25 and 7/26 builds and I remember the 7/26 build had 2.3.5 as the build and I think 7/25 was like that too. These are the builds that were merged with the mainline CM code. Its why I reverted at the 7/17 build as the later ones have all the flaws of the nighly's.
[Fascinate Android Development] nunyazz:
Put your bootanimation.zip file in /data/local

it works.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
I also found on froyo at least, when you create your zip file, make sure you turn off compression completely. 7zip does that fairly easily. Idk if it's still necessary for gb, though, but it's something to try if everything else looks right and it's still not working.
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
Dang, you got me....let's make some more stupid posts to each other. That ought to entertain everyone!

If my post causes you or others like you to pause for even a second before making a superfluous condescending post, then I will be happy with my one (now two) posts on the matter.

and next time, a simple "you were right, I was wrong" will suffice....if you actually read that complaint post I made you would have noticed I was resubmitting my question....I wasn't just hoping to stop some of the nonsense in these threads. And a few posts later my question was answered, so no, I don't consider my post just more clutter.

this one however.....but sometimes you've got to kill to stop more killing
