I am testing CM9 RC1. In 129 the image (fastboot) not working, added (fastboots) the one from 128.

No wi-fi issues.

No more screen autobrightnes.

No way to mute camera.

Flash LED is OK.

Pictures are to compressed. If we can chose the level of compression will be nice (or compression/none).

OC working till 1.6GHz.

Some themes/way to customize the interface colours/fonts?

Someone can please upload the originals ringtones/wallpapers from Ray?

Thx 4 the work!

Camera Save Issue?

Can anyone confirm the camera save issue I'm seeing?

It's pretty easy to reproduce:

1) Reboot phone.

2) Wait a minute for it to start up, load everything etc.

3) Activate the camera

4) Take a picture.

At this stage, I notice that picture is "frozen" on the main screen, as if I picture was taken, but it never moves into the small "last photo taken" window, no matter how long you wait. Then when you take another photo, it is saved correctly.

It's annoying because I've snapped photos twice now and they haven't saved.

Anyone able to test this for me? Requires CM7.2 FXP129 or FXP130, only since the new camera lib's basically.

I just want to check I'm not going crazy...

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Intuki:
I can.:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
Yeah I can confirm - the first picture you take seems to 'hang' the camera app.

You then have to go back to launcher - and try again - then it works
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Lupin The Third:
The same for me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babicka:
The ROM is great. Thank you guys for your work. Just a question. Anyone having problem with small battery life? I'm getting just one day in comparison with the stock's 2-3 days. Is there any other kernel that is compatible with CM7.2?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
A lot people report this but I can't really see any real evidence of it. However note that I myself used to think that there was a problem with this ROM too, but I realised it was just because I was playing with it so much more.

However, I'm curious, maybe there really is some issue. So could you answer some questions?

What's your WiFi Sleep policy currently set to?

Was it set the same in Stock?

Have you installed any new apps you weren't using in Stock?

Has your usage pattern changed much?

Any other information you could give? Are you really sure your battery life has decreased that much?

I've had a look at the various kernel options (available when building a kernel from source) and there's nothing that stands out to me with the FXP kernel over the stock one that'd cause issues. I'm not a guru however, so maybe there really is something going on...

Google Sync Issue

I cant find Google sync after upgrade to FXP130 .. so none of my google releated apps are not working any idea to a solution ? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babicka:
There is definitivelly something causing battery drain. But can't figure what. My baseband is .72, wifi sleep policy is "turn off when screen turns off" and I believe I used the same setting in the stock one. I don't use any new apps. I'm usually pretty careful with that. And about my usage pattern? I'm using it much less then I did actually. Battery statistics say that most of the juice is taken by cell standby (2G only) and phone idle whereas on stock it was always the screen.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
I had the same concern when I started using CM7.2, that Phone Idle and Cell Standby were "taking all the battery" but I'm fairly sure that's just a red herring. I don't think Stock reports them at all, thus why they seem wrong when you start using CM. If you think about it they are what's going to take most of the battery while the phone's asleep.

Are you sure your phone is going into Deep Sleep? Something hasn't changed that's keeping it awake, has it? BetterBatteryStats (from the app store) can tell you this, so can "Spare Parts -> Battery History" and looking how long the Phone reports "Running" which is time spent not in deep sleep.

I'm fairly sure I get the same amount of usage from my phone as I did with Stock, I've spoken to the FXP Dev and he's sure there's no problem with battery drain either.

So yea, can you check your phone is in Deep Sleep OK? And can you maybe post your usage patterns as well do I can compare? What apps do you have running etc?

Cheers,

Tim
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
I've had 'something' happening with the rom this weekend - I had pretty 'normal' battery time : 2 'day' with wifi almost constantly on + sync etc (no 3G data).

Suddenly it 'dropped' to less then a day.

To resolve it I took a backup of my apps with Titanium - and did a wipe.

Now everything is fine again; I have no idea what was causing it but there was one other 'strange' thing thats gone now:

When I unlocked the phone I hear the unlock sound ans usual but then immediatly a 'tickticktick' very faintly. Whatever it was it's gone - and so is the battery 'drain' :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babicka:
Hi, haven't done anything you suggested yet, but flashed kernel from stable 7.2 from CM site, set governor to ondemand, downgraded baseband to .64 and removed all widgets and everything looks good now. Even put the widgets back later today and it seems that they don't have any negative impact at all. If I learn anything new I'll post it later.

Cheers and thanks for your advice. Really appreciate it.

Hello, I am using CM 7.2 stable version, after the new Viber update today, when opening Viber settings, it is crashing... Anyone experience this?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apocalyps2:
I'm running FXP130 of the 7.2 and I don't have your issue...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] babicka:
Well it seems that the kernel from 130 is the problem. The battery life is shorter in comparison to the stable kernel from CM site. That's really a shame as I love this one because it's giving me more than 200MB of free RAM :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
annoying battery drain solved

I am running the CM7.2 stable with the built in kernel (think its fxp125) - tried different fxp kernels but most are not stable enough for me

The following build.prop tweaks will work for any android device but NOT along side other tweaks such as init.d scripts

The two that really make the difference for battery saving I think are;

sleep mode and power collapse, the others are mainly for performance

pm.sleepmode=1

mot.proximity.delay=150

ro.lge.proximity.delay=25

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=120

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=120

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

video.accelerate.hw=1

debug.sf.hw=1

debug.performance.tuning=1

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0

Now with the above settings I am seeing some wonderful battery saving of less then 1% drain per hour in deep sleep mode

Can someone please confirm my findings before CM7.2 GB becomes obsolete and no one ever uses it again!

I know these settings are all over the forum that's where I got them from and put together what I needed

However there is no real answer as to whether they work or NOT!

init.d scripts don't work for me.......... placebo effect!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
There is no such setting. You might as well set pm.save.battery.magically=1

As best as I can tell from reading the source, these will change a few things, none of them battery saving.

Appears to change how often the Wifi scans for a known SSID, haven't managed to read that bit of a code yet.

This is already the default in CM7.2 - Look in /system/build.prop

Don't have any answer for these two - potentially allowing power collapse might help if you're on a 3G network.

Doesn't do anything at all.

Haven't had a change to look at these.

Well the only thing I'll say is that if these collection of "tweaks" - (which no one ever has a seen a source for, by the way, they're just passed around as fact, never referenced) really worked, don't you think they'd be documented somewhere? And the official ROM makers would use them?

Some of these tweaks do change valid settings - but I'd be amazed if they do much to improve battery life. Are you sure you're really getting that much better battery stats because of these? Or maybe just because you rebooted your phone? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
Very interesting read, thank you for the comments, have looked at what you said and removed a few things, shame build.prop is not covered much anywhere.... maybe restarting the phone after all improved my battery however I do not run windows?!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
Yes, it's one of the things that I'm going to try to document when I get time to understand what they do by reading the source.

Some, though, like the ril ones can't be understood because we don't have the source for the radio subsystem.

What kernel is this based on? FXP128? FXP130?

Any kernel after FXP128 makes my camera freeze for the first time taking photos.

I can try that if that issue doesn't exist.

Well I gave I shot. I flashed before going to bed, I used for a few minutes then fall asleep.

Thanks anyway.

PS. Camera is fine, no freezing bugs.

I am using latest nightly release "cm-7-20120805-NIGHTLY-urushi.zip " from get.cm and I couldn't get S2E to work. Also tried FXP 130 and it has the same problem. Logcat shows that S2E has problems running "busybox df /sd-ext". Due to which, S2E shows blank stats for sd-ext. The mountpoints doesnt have entry for sd-ext but sd-ext is mounted and accessible from file manager.

Camera bug

Hi,

was anyone successful resolving the camera bug (first picture)? I also noticed that after I use camera a i need to do a reboot otherwise I experience battery drain. It's really a shame 7.2 is not being developed anymore. ICS and JB seem just not responsive enough for comfotable usage not talking about the RAM needs :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] muppetmania:
I never found a solution and I spent quite some time looking at code etc (I'm not a great coder though). In the end, sick of the stupid phone I bought a S3. I did test CM10 before selling my ray though and it was coming along very nicely, have you given it a look recently?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mycorrhiza:

In this thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32774-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-xperia-ray-v7101-11-oct-2011/ we can read:

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 7?

Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

Flash CyanogenMod (your Google Apps will be backed up & restored automatically).

Can anyone please explain it how does it work? What should I do to have all my apps and data after next update?

1. I have to boot my phone in recovery mode (reboot, then when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times).

2. enter "backup and restore" option

3. hit "backup" (it will make full backup of current rom)

and now what? Just Flash new version of CM and everything will be automatically restored from performed backup in step 3?

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Brightness Bug

Hello,

I noticed a brightness bug within FXP042.

When I chose a brightness setting then turn off the display and turn it back on again the display is darker. When I then go to settings again the brightness slider is still at max, but when I touch it, the brightness jumps.

This occors on all brightness levels, although it is easiest to test at lowest and at maximum brightness.

Also using the status bar to slide the brightness doesn't work.

The results where the same whether I used the CM7 kernel or Doom kernel for CM7.

Maybe someone can reproduce the error on their phone and tell me if they have the same error or not.

Here are the steps again summed up:

1. go to display settings.

2. slide brightness to max

3. turn off.

4. turn on

5. touch the slider at the max position and see if brightness jumps

Thank you :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] add2005:
Tested FXP 42. Everything works ok, except that i can't import my call logs and contacts using Titanium Backup anymore. I think this is from 2.3.7 storage differences.

Anyway, comparing with my personal optimised stock .283, Cyanogen seems to be more slower. Including the boot time. Stock .283 with exactly the same applications boots faster... i have about 190 applications installed. With stock hard reboot takes about 35 seconds. With FXP 42 takes more than one minute :)

I wait for Cyanogen with stock apps integrated. I personaly dont like the colors from cyanogen themes. I dont like the phone app and the messaging application.

Best regards :)
