I'm using radio which shows on phone as 7.51.35.19 but download page says it will be 7.51.39.19

Is it just a typo and based on fact battery life is poor and calls are dropping in going to revert to 7.47.35.17 unless anyone can tell me it would be a bad move!

SuperOSR 2.5

[HTC ChaCha] g0rnex:
That's a good question. I also have radio: 7.51.35.19

Does anyone know wich are good radio for htc chacha

using cm7
[HTC ChaCha] Nicois:
I too have that radio, and while the gps worked a few weeks ago, it isn't working anymore. I am using the latest version. Don't know if it's something intermittant or a change in the latest version or two caused a regression.

I have tried using the gps status app to reset it, but that didn't help either.

Sorry about the grammar in my last post it was auto corrected by phone before I noticed!

Für die Deutschsprachigen hier :

Hatte ebenfalls dieses "Problem". Hab dann mit den Rootexplorer mine htclib_ril.so durch die von carstenheuer ausgetauscht, Neustart und es läuft.

for nongerman:

Also had this Problem.

Solution:

Install Rootexplorer, download libhtc_ril.so from carstenheuer and copy it by use of rootexporer to system/lib. reboot and erverything might be well.
[HTC ChaCha] johndaniel:
can any one help me, i installed this rom , except for the camera rest of it was ok, also the live wallpapers. my problem is , my camera when using flash doesn't take pics perfect, also the timing of flash is very early , the official rom , the cam was perfect. Can anyone help me by telling how to port my htc camera to this rom or how i can fix the issue
[HTC ChaCha] intel007:
I think you can change the timing of the flash in camera settings under exposure.

Change it to +1

has the development of cm7 for chacha stopped? i was really looking forward to the next version...
[HTC ChaCha] g0rnex:
yh, just the same here, tried gps status to, still no gps icon and no location.

Anyone else having issues issues with gps just recently like us?
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I tried an older radio and lost gps altogether, went back to 7 51 35 19 and it's taken a while but gps still working. I'm using gpstest. I its tired gps tools but that never seemed to get a lock at all.

I hope a new radio comes soon, but this one is not good for the battery.

[HTC ChaCha] nkoleff:
GPS was problematic on my side too. However, here's how i fixed it:

go to Settings > Locations and security. Tap on User wireless networks and then go to GPS Source. Now, when I installed the ROM GPS source was not selected, so I clicked on Internal GPS and it worked for me.

See if that helps.
[HTC ChaCha] Nicois:
no, that didn't help me: the radio button was already selected.

maybe I should revert to a previous superosr build which worked with this radio.
[HTC ChaCha] johndaniel:
thankz mate fr the reply but no hope, i am realy wondering havnt anyone got this issue.

the pics are perfect without the flash , but with the flash the pics are bit dark as if the flash ws slow or wasnt long enough for the shutter to tak the pic. dam the only reason i dont find this rom happy is this, rest the battery , storage and all are perfect. pls if any one can tell how to install the htc camera on this rom , will pay fr the troubles.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

also i got issue with playing games like nfs shift, gt racing and most of the games that use accelerometer , the steering in the game is always on the side wise, if i hav to turn the car i hav to tilt the screen 180, then play the game.
[HTC ChaCha] Ulatec:
I have been searching a bit for a good kernel source to work with on the ChaCha, but since I have been using this rom I was wondering if there is anyone source available? If not, is there any good repo's for a good source that is "non-sense"?

[HTC ChaCha] Ulatec:
Hey thanks, that's what I was looking for, but does that kernel source work with all CM builds?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
It's for Chacha/Status only, but yes, all the CM and SuperOSR use the same kernel source.
[HTC ChaCha] Ulatec:
Right, that's what I meant. Thank you.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Thank you for the great work!

I tried Super OSR now. One thing I had to do after installing it is to follow this guide because otherwise I wasn't able to install anything from the market, but that was mentioned here earlier.

So far I did not try too much but noticed some things:

+ Very clever, Status LED now flashes orange and green when you have a missed call while phone is charging! I don't know if you can flash the facebook button too, but LightFlow will still do the job I guess.

+ Lot of space free - even when I install apps, there will be enough free. I wonder if they went to the 2nd partition or the normal partition of the SD-card, but this is finally a big improvement!

+ and lot of other things I have to figure out.

+ Facebook button can be connected with apps, although it does not work as good as FB Button light. (I used it to have the function to open status bar, and use LED-light as torch on long press).

So, about my worries about the Keyboard and the caller:

o It's ok so far, when I start typing it will use the google search which shows both apps and contacts. I cannot directly call contacts from there with the call button, but I have a combined app and contact search.

o "End Call" button will switch the screen off. Can I use it as home button (like the Chacha standard behaviour).

- The image of the contact will be covered by an "End Call" button during the call which I wouldn't need because of the keyboard.

- Lock screen only has the option to use one customized app. Since I use this for the Simple Sound Widget it makes now sense to have the sound on/off there too, but this cannot be changed then.

However, this is better than I expected, there just remains one thing that drives me really crazy:

- When I hit the call button, I'll see my last calls (so pressing it twice will redial). When I start typing now, the dialing application jumps to the dialer with numbers only instead of doing a combined number/contact combination. Is there anything that can be done there?

All in all I think I like that SuperOSR and it also is useful on the Chacha! Only the last point I mentioned would need some improvement. Or maybe did I overlook something there?
[HTC ChaCha] ladyhaly:
That function that drives you crazy without is called Smart Dialing.

Also, ChaCha stock ROM is able to do both app and contact search. Just press the Search key from Home Screen and the search will go over both your contacts and apps. But if you open the App Drawer, then it's just apps.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
- The search behaviour is the normal android search behaviour; what you experienced on stock ROM was something that HTC created for Sense (the Dialer search).

- End Call button behaviour - Change it from "Spare Parts" in you apps drawer.

- Lock screen is the default android one (afaik)

- Open the Dialer and go to Settings -> you have some nifty options there for different use cases (like no numbers typed in will perform a redial, and so on).
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Can this be confirmed in the thread please?
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Ah ok. But the problem is that the Dialer that comes with SuperOSR does not seem to have it. When I am in my call list and start typing, then I'll only get the numbers AND they even are not erased if I typed something before but did not call. This makes no sense to me, but I didn't find any option to change it which is a shame because I generally like the dialer.

Thanks, that was hard to find but now I'm happy with that. :)

Like mentioned above I did not find any option to get into some Smart Dialing function when i start typing during having the Dialer open. :(

BTW: My Chacha is S-On, so I can confirm that SuperOSR works on S-On too.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
For smart dialing, u can use DW contacts and phone. After the first install the dialer screen will not look as it will be occupied by keypad. You have to disable the on screen keypad and set dialer to full screen. It really works nice and smart dialing is enabled.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Ok, I'll try that. I noticed that there are some wired connection problems. My calls are often interrupted if and the phone says "no service". Since it works with hands free this might have to do something with switching off the screen.

Someone found a solution here. I did not try it yet. It is linked in this thread under the CM7 bugs, but it also affects SuperOSR!

Also I noticed that you the default maximum speed in the CPU settings is 600Mhz, but when I change this I only have 480 and 800Mhz. I wonder if the Chacha can do 600Mhz at all...
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Wow, this link seems to fix the issue that causes the phone diconnect from the network and WiFi when the screen is switched off!!

One thing I noticed: Space is calculated too small in the lauchner, Widgets might overlap!

And one recommandation: FB Lite is no use with SuperOSR but I use the Facebook button with Status Bar Expander - works fine!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
ChaCha by default is a device with a 600Mhz proc. It is overclocked by HTC to 800MHz.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
But this still is strange. Neither the CPU Manager (with stock rom) nor the SuperOSR will show 600 Mhz. They just have 480 and 800.

After having solved the problem with the GSM radio and the standby modus I noticed that SuperOSR still will disconnect the WiFi without trying to reconnect.

Also the Gallery that comes with SuperOSR is really slooooow compared to the stock gallery but I think that can be fixed by just finding a better gallery app.

Sorry about moaning around, in like SuperOSR on the Chacha, but I just have to fix some annoyances and will share the solution here too of course!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
When does the Wi-Fi disconnect?

If it disconnects when you lock your screen then you need to go to Wi-Fi settings and turn off "Turn off Wi-Fi when screen turns off".

How did you flash the ROM in the first place?
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Thank you. The menu was misleading there, it says something like (i translated from German) "select when usage of mobile data should be prefered to wifi". Since I switched off mobile data I thought that this won't have any effect anyway.

I'll have a look later, but it seemed that WiFi connection was lost some time after the screen goes off, so I hope that this might have solved the problem.

I used that CWM-Version I had to use for rooting the device.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Did you wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik-cache before? Usually when flashing another ROM on-top of a different one some files will not be removed/overwritten.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Yes, I did wipe everything.

And no, the WiFi still goes off as soon as the screen is switched off. :-(
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Quickpic will solve gallery issue, I had same problem!

sent usin' tapatalk innit.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
i second this. i use quickpic and it is nice pic gallery application
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
So you went to Settings -> Wireless -> Wi-Fi settings -> Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy -> Never and it still turns off?

Now that's weird.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Edit: I thought I had a solution, but unfortunately WiFi even goes off when I install WiFi keep alive and enabled all workarounds. So

no solution yet

.

By the way: Is there any easy way I can change between the profiles and maybe avoid that I turn the phone to silence by mistake?
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Hmm... difficult to say. I tried to figure out the problem and have the phone running with WiFi and the tool "Keep WiFi alive" but it seems to switch off and on at some time.

This does not really affect mails because there you really don't notice if they arrive 10 minutes earlier or later but when you have a Google Talk conversation you notice that there won't be any new messages for some time.

Google Talk is a strange thing anyway - with the Android version mentioned it's expected to have video and call support. But it lacked both. On this ROM and on the stock ROM too.

[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Concerning SuperOSR:

After the update I had problems again with phone calls and the internet.

After changing the libhtc_ril.so it works again now. GPS does not work at all.

Since my phone is S-On I guess I can't flash a new radio (which should be the solution for not working GPS).

Is it possible to regard both issues in the next update? If you want to do some improvement there I could help you with testing. Battery improvement of SuperOSR seems to be great - my phone is running for 1 day 3 hours now and still has 45% battery.

By the way: I have

[HTC ChaCha] chubb16:
Thanks for the update. CM7 makes my chacha so much sweeter.
[HTC ChaCha] chubb16:
In call screen is fixed in the latest build of cm7.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
what do u mean by that? what was the original problem, can you share some screen shots?
[HTC ChaCha] chubb16:
When I was in a call the buttons and contact picture was laid out bad. In this latest build the contact picture is on the left and buttons on the right.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Another strang thing is that one App now is not available anymore for my Chacha. Maybe this is just a coincidence because there was an App-Update in the market at the same time, but since the Chacha now supports Flash with SuperOSR this App now will work. So how to get it on the phone? I was able to install it one week before with the stock ROM. :-/

Tried this. But one problem: When I type "rom" it will display "366" and search for "dom". It somehow maps the keyboard keys to number keys with 3 letters on it each. Strange. And when I start typing a "0" in the contact list i just will get "%" while the calling screen is still the same with the button in the middle of the face. I'll play around with this later, but are you sure this can be fixed?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
For those having issues with GPS due to different radio, I've made 2 testing builds. Would you test them? It's happening there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23976512#post23976512 ;)

[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I'm starting last few weeks to have an issue where the lock screen is unresponsive on boot up. The green trace line won't draw the shape to unlock - the phone has however ask for and accepted the sim pin.

This morning I had to re boot 8 times to get the lock screen to unlock phone.

This is a using osr version one before the latest one posted.

[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Thanks, that's great! Maybe that issue can be solved!

Another problem is that Google Talk and/or Airdroid always disconnect no mather if I am on WiFi or UMTS. :( There seem to be connection problems with the internet too. I thought I already had a solution but unfortunately not.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Are you sure that I can change the dialing window with DW contacts? I installed it but still have the same dialing screen where the picture and number is covere by the big End-Button:

Another question: On the HTC Chacha it never worked fine to record calls. Someone wrote that it needs some work on the kernal so that you could record both sides of the call at the same time. Is it possible to modify that part?
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
DW contacts cannot change this screen, i was talking about the call log and dial pad and no the 'in call' screen
[HTC ChaCha] chubb16:
The latest cm build posted fixes the in call screen.

http://db.tt/WPvOVjZB
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Hmm... For the Chacha it would be nice to completely disable the buttons for "End" and "Dialpad".

The End button is too close to that point i sometimes hit with my ear by mistake. :(
[HTC ChaCha] Nicois:
Running the latest SuperOSR, my main gripe is around the 2g/3g switching. It's been the same for a long time; it's nothing specific about this recent version.

Normally my phone has 'use only 2g networks' selected, and 'GMS/UMTS Network Preferences' set to GSM only. If I change the values, it seems to eventually 'reset' back to those values.

Anyone else experience things like this?
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
lockscreen clock

hi Alex C.

it's not really a bug, but when you use pattern to unclock, the clock on the lockscreen is cut by the pattern dots. i guess either the font size of the clock or the pattern image size needs to be smaller.

thanks.

[HTC ChaCha] ToJa92:
Hi, I was considering purchasing a Chacha. However, I live in Sweden where we have three national characters. Normally, they would reside on the Y,U and I buttons. Is it possible to make custom character maps? For instance, there's separate . , and ? buttons. I'd rather have those as the national keys and YUI as . , and ?.

Also, how's CM7 on it? I tried a ChaCha briefly at a local electronics retailer(w/ the stock rom obviously) and it felt rather zippy, but I imagine that CM7 will feel faster?
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
It should be possible I guess, but it will be tricky for sure - especially if no one else did this already.

Just tried SuperOSR which is similar. It improves battery life and feels a little bit faster, but unfortunately does not work with my GPS yet. But still the Chacha is not a phone that is fast like hell. You might consider trying the Motorola Pro which has 1 Ghz and 2GB internal memory which might be less trouble but misses cursor keys as well as keys for answering a call. So all in all I'm fine with the chacha.
[HTC ChaCha] ToJa92:
Thanks for the answers, even though it's off-topic.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Though copying over old keymaps is still possible, right? As in, I can still have the correct layout, pressing Sym and Y/U/I to get the national symbols?

Yeah, the Motorola seemed interesting. However, there doesn't seem to be a nicely working CM build for it. Also, Motorola have not released it here in Sweden. One shop lists the Motorola Fire(which is worse compared to ChaCha) but I think it's imported from Germany or some other EU country. They're also asking the same price as the ChaCha.

As for memory I'd use a 32GB microSD anyway so that's not really an issue.

Re "not a phone that is fast like hell", does it load for example web pages at a decent speed and is able to keep up with scrolling, or does it suffer from the [somewhat prevalent amongst Android] stuttering?

A flattened out and slightly larger Xperia Mini Pro would be excellent, but I'm guessing Sony has no such plans :(
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
That's still a problem if you plan to use many apps. Unlike Symbian, Android can only install to the SD card with additional software, and some of the Apps still will leave data on the internal memory. If you use CM7 or SuperOSR this will be enough but with the stock ROM I had always to fight against low memory. However I counted about 100 apps (with the ones coming from stock).

Yes I was satisfied with the speed I had when viewing websites. There are only problems if you did bad CPU settings (which is not an issue if you use the stock ROM).

I had the Xperia Mini before, but the Chacha keyboard is much better although it is smaller. It's always available and the Chacha has keys for answering and ending calls (something I missed on the Xperia Mini).

However SuperOSR does not work 100% and I don't know about CM7 but it seems to have similar problems. Still there were some things I preferred in the stock ROM.
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
oc kernel?

i just wonder why this cm7 build doesn't have any oc options. if we can choose clocks over 800mhz, chacha would be snappier... any plans?

also, why is the default clock set 600mhz?? (for old chacha??)

thx!
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
That's an odd question!

Mini Cooper r56 with factory Bluetooth.

Works well with Android, phonebook shows up.

On my old Nokia s60 phones it only worked on the very latest FW. Which was rather tedious..

I do use call confirm app, with Bluetooth bypass selected, that works well too.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Ah, don't know about the mini cooper internal module. Unfortunately we make for other companies :)
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Although I fixed the keyboard, it remains stuck in qwerty -- other international keyboard (kcm/kl) files are not taken into account. Any ideas?
[HTC ChaCha] hashtowent:
does simple editing of kcm/kl files work? (or can i rename qwertz kcl/kl file to english kcl/kl file to work?)
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
It does work, but I can't expect each CM7 user to manually adb push new files, it's simply not a good user experience ;)
[HTC ChaCha] hashtowent:
won't, if not someone maintains a cm7 port for chacha(who does insert this change by default), not a apk do do this job?

i assume you need to aply this apk after installing cm and never again.

;)

would be better then adb for everyone and with root this should work shouldn't it?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Absolutely, I think it's actually the best approach to the issue, at least as a workarround at the beginning.

The app could have all the possible kl/kcm.bin as assets, the user select the one he want from a ListView and the app copy the selected pair of kl/kcm.bin in the right place in /system.

Is there anyone willing to collaborate and make the app (I could myself by it's not what I'd prefer to dedicate my time to do lol)?

Having the sources we could then add it to the device source files so it will get built with the whole rom.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Well, if C is of use I could try helping.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
It's rather Java, but thanks, C could also be useful with other stuff :)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hit me up on GTalk if you want to chat or something.

As for the both of you, congratulations for all your hard work. Both of you deserve a statue in the ChaCha section :)

Edit: come to think about it, I could give it a go and check out some tuts on Java. Depends on the amount of free time I can come up with.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Thanks a lot, but so far this was the easy part -- basically I barely had to touch any source code, apart from tweaking some little things (like the kcm). The real hard part is making the camera and bluetooth work.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Meh, found the snippet for su access to be used inside the program:

Basically this should be at the beginning of the program, to request super user access and then allow the user to copy/replace keyboard files.

I presume that two/three buttons with a simple "copy" file function should do the trick..
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I believe it's not necessary! I'll check that later.
[HTC ChaCha] xd.bx:
Cool. On the subject on Bluetooth, I believe I know how to make it work -- the chacha board files in the kernel were missing CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM_HS_PURE_ANDROID. I can tweak them using the Liberty as a template.
