Seems so. Noticed more having performance issues with the new version. Good recommandation: GinTonic.SE v2 with the zombie panic kernel. Fast as hell ^^ Been testing it for a while now, and seems very stable and reliable :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] eaguirres:
Thank you, I'll give it a try after work. Cuz i'm getting tired of CM7 Pro :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pretis:
well i'm still sticking to v12 (cause v13 14 15 have serious issues). it's fast it's stable it's battery life is amazing. everything works what i'm using without a hitch. Dunno what else i'm expecting from later versions ... but still i'm waiting ;) it's now like a disease for me:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 6u4rdi4n:
Me too. No offence to the devs, but the rom is looking hopeless at the moment. Love the themes on it tho :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pretis:
i don't have anything against devs :) they are doing a good job. it's we who are getting impatient ;) so don't start blaming them for this and remember what they already did for our minis ;) when i installed v12 i thought i got a new phone. other roms work good and are really fast and stable but MiniCM7 pro satisfied all my needs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 6u4rdi4n:
No one is blaming the devs. But as you said, pretis, we are getting impatient. All of the devs have done a great job, but now, the MiniCM7 Pro is really messed up :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] eaguirres:
You guys have encouraged me to give it a chance to V12, I'm alredy downloading it, I'll tell you later if everything is going well, and by the way, I'm not blaming the devs, they're doing an amazing job, I can't even think of myself using Android 2.1 again in my cellphone, any rom with bugs is waaaay more better than that.

I'll install V12 and wait until a more stable version is released.

P.S. I'm dying to have 10 posts to be able to thank the devs in the dev forums. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benoitm974:
Thank you all I don't feel alone on this.. I've spend 1 week testing almost every gingerbread release from CMpro, DX & gin tonic, using the lasts kernel each time... and the more I'm testing the more I consider it is not usable on a daily basis. Main concerns to me are:

- battery life, compared to stock, it's difficult to keep 24h where stock is no issue with same sync/option on ...

- it lags! sometime it's lightning fast to go to home page and switch to the phone app, sometime you wait ages ...

- screen brightness is a mess (even If I've check multiple option and the posts about setting up custom level) still compared to stock SE, when you're out in the street on a shiny day you wait ages for the screen to adapt, where the stock 2.1 just works perfectly

- delay for lock screen or schema screen to show, with brightness issue... When you click on the on button on the stock, the screen just light up with good brightness and you can slide, on the 2.3.x, it lag and then brightness is slow to go tot the right level and then you can slide :(...

- video capture, lag, when you film, capture freeze sometimes ...

- FM radio issues: frequencies written in unreadable green, name of station overlapping with freq.

All these to say, after more than 35 flash or all Dx, CMpro & GT from v8 to v15, feeling is that it's getting worst :(... That's said, I'm more than happy to do those testing, yet I was wondering if any of you guys are really using those ROM on a daily basis without a second phone aside ?

I've turned back to 2.1 with go launcher and titanium backup to remove all SE crap tool/software and I'm quite happy with the phone :)... I'll wait for 2.3.5 to be brightness bug free and battery proof.

Regards,

Benoit

benoitm974:

For brightness, adjust it manually. Not only does it save power(if you set it to not more than you need at all times), but you also more or less get the light you need instant.

At the moment, Im using the lastes GinTonic with the zombie panic kernel, and I have to say that Ive not encountered any problem with it yet!

Even the lifetime of the battery is superior to the stock rom, and I tried a lot with the stock one before going for custom rom permanently.

This phone is used on a day to day basis and the only second phone I have avaible is somewhere in my basement :P
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zires:
I would like to change my mac address and cannot find out how. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
I'm almost positive you cannot. If I remember back from computer 101 a MAC address is hardcoded into the hardware.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
You could try editing the MACaddress plain text file on the ROM partition... I'd strongly encouraging backing it up first... just in case.

I don't know if it will do you any good... but it is there, so i assume its there for a reason.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zires:
@DizzyDen,

What is the path? TIA
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
That's the difference between Computer 101 and Computer 450 :p

MAC addresses are burned into the hardware but transmitted/recognized using software...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
make sure /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is mounted

the path is /devconf/

the file is MACAddress
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
So one cannot in reality change it but you can spoof it?

I think I stopped after computer 330.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
Pretty much. You could read the hardcoded value from the network adapter. Then, you could either let the adapter do its own thing, or you could tell it to use and respond to a different MAC address. In Windows, the spoofed MAC is contained under a registry key; in Linux, we use ifconfig. Quite simple, in practice :cool:

Now, Android... well, that's not really Linux, is it :3
[Trophy General] Xodium:
Hey guys, HTC Arrive owner here, and I just wanted to ask a question, mostly because I haven't seen it anywhere on the internet, and I don't have a Verizon store convenient to me that has a Trophy on display to try this with.

Does the Trophy (NoDo or Mango, doesn't matter) allow you to create messages over 160 characters? Does it split them, or does it just stop you (saying something like "Message is too long")?

I just wanted to ask because the Arrive currently is stuck with a 160-character cap, and I am trying to find out if it's because WP7 doesn't know how to step around that limit (on CDMA networks), or if it's just isolated to Sprint.

Thanks in advance.
[Trophy General] jvward:
I don't think this is the case on the trophy
[Trophy General] Xodium:
If that's the case, it's isolated to the phone.

If anyone else could chime in confirming this, it'd be awesome.
[Trophy General] Protocol114:
Chiming in letting you know that it's definitely not the case. I'm pretty sure it splits it, but I know for a fact you can go over 160.
[Trophy General] tsupersonic:
Yes, it does split the messages. This is related to SMS, and is not specific to the Trophy. At 130 characters, it will show you the character count. After 160 characters, it splits the message.
[Trophy General] 12voltsho:
I called htc on this issue and they claim its a carrier issue called microsoft they claim its a htc issue and possibley a carrier issue ive pounded the pavement on this im going to take this phone and find who ever designed the software and give them a not so nice piece of mind. i mean really this is ridiculous i cant send segmented choppedn up messages to my clients its a joke. i mean ive had a htc snap tp and a tp2 non of them had this issue no problem after you reach a certain amount of characters bam message 2. That what the receiver wont think i am a moron and cannot finish my messages because right now before i have a chance to type of the second half of my thought i get a reply from ther receiver say huh is there more to your message its madening and im pissed off. How hard is it some top paid programmers cant hash out its a insult to their skills if they are that stupid to leave something so basic out of the equation.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiphile:
I have installed CM7 203 from 200, just to see if that would fix the issue - it didn't:

Ever since the Nook APP updated to 2.7.2, it doesn't work right. it opens up, in much larger fonts than before, and when you hit the mag you want to read, there is no longer a list of issues from newest to oldest - now it seems the issues are all overlaid on top of each other and only the oldest is reachable.. which of course is no fun..

any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiphile:
installed an older version of nook app, and the problem remains. I guess the CM7 200+ resolution change screwed this up.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiphile:
back to CM7 nightly version 175.

Cleared nook app data and I can now see the latest issues
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerflop:
Okay, this was very helpful... I was having the same problem and couldn't figure it out... Back to CM175 for me too...

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMikeSS:
If you switch to screen density 161 it fixes the display, the only problem is, you'll run into market issues. It's a way to fix it temporarily, but I'd like to see if anyone can solve this one so I don't need to switch density back and forth just to read a magazine. And I don't really want to step back to an older nightly.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behic:
I'm having the same issue. Bump to see if anyone else has any ideas. I'd like to install CM7 to the emmc instead of using the uSD card, but not if I cannot select my magazines.

This is using both nightly build 213 and the stable 7.1.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Try an older version found here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/nook

The problem with magazines seems to have started in 2.7....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiphile:
didn't work for me... same issue
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiphile:
just installed LCD Density app from market and at 180, the nook app is fine for magazines, but not books. I get "this title cannot be viewed on this device"..
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Just for kicks, has anyone tried an old nightly to see if this is an app problem or a CM7 problem?

I put nightly 86 here if someone with magazines wants to try....

Updated to the new nook app in the Android market and still the same issue. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
Added uninstall protection. The engine is in test stage so feel free to report problems.
[Android Apps and Games] hbr7:
It does not recognize sms commands, phone just acting like receiving ordinary message. I have GO Sms pro installed, maybe that's the reason...
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
Yeap thats the reason!
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
Wipedata and Admin rights options added. Also the uninstall protection will now protect all the apps from unauthorized uninstall
[Android Apps and Games] denyboy:
while been locked just by pressing HOME button i get to home screen and i have access to do anything.

Then after 5 seconds Locked screen returns asking for unlock password.

Then again i press home buttom and i get access. So accually this isnt working quite well.

Im using latest MIUI on HD2.
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
Hello Sir,

Please read the documentation and watch the introductory video to understant how the system works.

Android os dont allow the devs to overwrite the home key so yes any time you press the home key will get you to the home screen ( this happens with all the security apps in the android market ) but anti theft control has a smart engine to not allow you to navigate anywhere else. For example you press home key and the lock screen disappears for 3 seconds if you try fast to open anything between these 3 seconds it will not let you and will popup faster the lock screen. The phone is totally unusable even with the ability to hide the lock screen for 3 seconds. Thats the reason there is the uninstall protection and the Administrator rights for the app so even if you are able to hide the screen for 3 seconds (until pop ups again) you cant close services or uninstall anything.

hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Oneo Solutions
[Android Apps and Games] denyboy:
Thanks my reply. This is accually great app and im sattisfied with it. Few smaller issues but other than that great.

It would be great if you could create SMS command to send GPS location when you send that GPS command. Not only when you lock your phone.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Svjatosha:
Hi there

After last update, the phone locked by itself,now I can move just between sms (double click on home screen) and AntiTheftControl lock screen

Is there any way to temporary disable software or bypass this screen ?

Thanks a lot in advance

[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
Hello and thank you for your attention. I will not release the apk to the forums but its so easy to install it from the market what's the problem? :D
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
The brand New Engine "Perimeter Security Zone". Now you can set a perimeter zone from your location (center point) and when this perimeter is bridged the phone will take immediate action. With this way you can secure that your phone is in the place you left it.

We really dont know. We never got a reply from google about the removal. however the app is again available on the Play Store with some changes.
[Android Apps and Games] crslaytor:
what happens if someone steal it and want to restore the factory settings or perhaps go to recovery :(
[Android Apps and Games] merquise:
If he goes to recovery you can't help it.. Password protecting download/recovery mode isn't supported atm..
[Android Apps and Games] nmsv:
Seems nice, I might try it on my S3 but I would like to see a few questions answered first :)

You can send a SMS command to the phone without locking it down? The purpose is to get as much as GPS positions first without the robber knowing. The program sends the new SIM card info (number) to a predefined number? :good:

btw, if I don't like the app, disabling Administration Rights option and uninstall protection option and uninstalling it normally (as I would do with any app) will remove it as if it was never on the phone?
[Android Apps and Games] DaRkRaGe:
This will answer all of your questions in just a few seconds :)

look on the market for xperia play camera mod, lets you use the L button for focus and R button for taking a picture.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netorino:
Just want to make sure, it will focus where you touch right? Because otherwise it'll just be like the [amazing] app that focus with L and shoots with R, which is easier to handle.

Yes, where ever you touch. Just try the free version, if you are unsure.
[Atrix 4G General] barry_:
having gravitated over from using Miui on my XT720, I now have an Atrix. Only problem I am having is finding a music player that I can shake to change a track when the screen is off (say if I am driving for e.g).

My Miui player used to do it on old phone but sadly, once the screen goes off, it doesn't work on the Atrix.

Any help would be appreciated.:o
[Atrix 4G General] georgemurango:
music player pro has this option, i believe, but it's a paid app. The miui player worked for me, but only when there was no security lock. Alternatively, you might try shake 2 play next on the market.
