[Vibrant Android Development] Voltage Spike:
Excellent Work!

I am finally coming off Bionix V1. Fresh install (no restored applications), used strictlyrude27's GPS fix, set the max CPU to 1200, the governor to conservative, and changed the cell APN to T-Mobile.

The GPS didn't work initially. After the strictlyrude27 fix, I have the same problem with it coming up sometimes (but if it comes up once, it has always come up). It works no worse than Bionix, and perhaps slightly better.

The battery life was terrible, but changing the governor made a huge difference.

The camera crashes and becomes unavailable if I used Touch focus (so I don't).

Other than that, I'm very impressed. Great battery life, performance, and even Back-Light Notifications.

Need Help, why does my external SD card show blank?

If I move a file from internal sd if shows up in external, but if I copy from my pc to external card it dosen't show up in sd card.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
flashed that still does not work......:(
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
i'm glad this works for you - it still blows my mind that setting the NTP server to china helps so much.
[Vibrant Android Development] Nabeel10:
If you guys go to the MyUi Enhancer V3 MOD thread, And go on the bottom of the OP, there are GPS fixes posted their, and I was wondering, could those work with CM??

[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
I've been out of the vibrant loop all day, what is going on with the gps ? :)

We should change the NTP server to China?
[Vibrant Android Development] strictlyrude27:
MIUI guys have the NTP server set to China, and some users are reporting that this works wonders. But I wonder how much of this is just survivorship bias. In other words: YMMV
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:
I'm telling you I've tried everything.. New gpsd no gpsd.. Clean install.. Wipe cache & delvik.. Nothing helped. I couldn't get GPS to work ever since the stable version was released.. I was about to switch over to miui to see if the GPS will work there.

It's worth mentioning that I've always had a working GPS since Froyo days..

Anyway, before wiping everything and flashing miui I decided to try to use the miui GPS files with CM7.1 I had nothing to lose since I was gonna flash miui anyway.. And surprisingly it worked! (and still working btw)

I can't get my phone to charge to 100%... Anyone else having this issue?? I am trying to condition the battery but battery calibration app never shows the phone at 100%. It always stops at 97% and 4193Mv
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
Same here.....
[Vibrant Android Development] BUNZ1:
Same here. I read 4200MV is full charge. You might find the battery is discharging itself to protect itself (I suppose). I'm trying to get it at 100% myself so I can calibrate. Not sure if I should just reset where it's at or wait a few hours...

For those with GPS, the strictlyrude27 gps fix that was posted worked for me. I flashed it and rebooted a few times, then used GPS status to get a lock to check. I'm not sure if it helped, but in the app I did Menu > Toolbox > Manage A-GPS and did a reset and download. I was able to get locks within 20 seconds and I don't have to reboot for it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
So what you did is flash miui GPS fix?

or cut and paste its file?
[Vibrant Android Development] zenlakin:
Good to see someone else is having the same issue. Also, my Bluetooth isn't working either. Even after ODIN twice and doing factory reset and clearing data twice....

Gameloft Games

Does anyone know how to get the Gameloft games to show up? I only see a few of them and none of the ones I purchased.

Battery never fully charges/Speakerphone Low Volume

Experiencing similar problems similar to what others had mentioned in earlier posts on this thread. Even after a full night of charging, battery level never approaches 100%. Have wiped battery states, even done a fresh install but no luck. Batter drain is quite a lot, from coming over from Bionix v.1.3.1. Even with no calls, texts, etc. drain can be more than 10-20% per hour (and this is with a fresh install, and minimal apps to speak off). Speakerphone issue: when in speakerphone mode, the volume is very weak, even when volume levels on the phone are maxed out.
[Vibrant Android Development] MizSxxyBych:
Anyone else

Something is wrong with my display or graphics or something. Photos or YouTube videos are very grainy and pixelated... While I am viewing, lil black squares come in and out on the screen. I am using Glitch kernal and have reflashed several times. Anyone else have this problem or know what this is?

[Vibrant Android Development] ericbechtel:
Install

After a few days here are my results...

A few unwanted reboots, camera FC, gps doesn't work. Besides that I love it. But that doesn't mean I love it enough to keep from switching back to Bionix-V. Sorry.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Everything you experienced has an easy fix located in the thread.. The reboots and Camera FC's are from a bad flash, I had similar issues and just reflashed and never happened again. GPS works for some out of the box and other needed to flash a fix.. either way easily fixable.. Just sayin those things are not really "Broken" they just need a bit of attention at first..

I will say that I usually turn my gps off since it causes the system to burn through battery, i left it on by accident last night unplugged this morning and in 3 hours was @ 42% :eek: However when it is off I am getting 11+ hours with heavy use..
[Vibrant Android Development] celltestr:

[Vibrant Android Development] BUNZ1:
The last hour I lost about 8% and in that time I did some facebook usage. I'm using the new Bali-CM kernel and I have setcpu setup with profiles and some undervoltage. Also made sure the phone is deep sleeping. Still trying to get it stable but for the most part it seems to be helping. I'm in the middle of calibrating so I'll report back with results.
[Vibrant Android Development] Voltage Spike:
Cyanogen doesn't use the external_sd mount point. external_sd is simply a directory, so you are copying files to internal storage.

The SD card is now under "/mnt/emmc" (hopefully you know how to take advantage of that).
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
Oh that one....tried but still not working :(
[Vibrant Android Development] DJ_MiX:
Found option CyanogenMod Settings, application

Now see my external sd card and can use it and apps are installed in internal storage card

Still no speakerphone volume fix?

I've been desperately searching for a way to increase the IN-CALL external SPEAKERPHONE volume.

[Vibrant Android Development] k9982874:
hi, guys. i flash this rom, it working, but voodoo looking not good.

i tune off voodoo and odin to jfd.

wipe the phone and flash the cwrecovery.

after this i flash update-cm-7.1.0.1-Vibrant-signed.zip to my phone.

after reboot i got bootlooping :(

at last i flash update-cm-7.1.0.1-Vibrant-signed.zip again, it working!

everything looking great, but when i reboot to recovery i got a blue one not a red one, and no lagfix option.

is voodoo disabled on my phone? how can i fix it?

help pls.

attachment is my boot.txt, i can't find voodoo.txt or voodoo.log and no voodoo folder in /sdcard.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
No voodoo on this ROM ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] BUNZ1:
whoa! that's crazy good. do you use apps like FB, twitter, etc?

I drove to work starting at 96%, didn't use my phone at all and it was at 91% an hour later. The phone was in deep sleep and I have it undervolting pretty good. My battery must be screwed.

Anything specific that you've done to make it so well?
[Vibrant Android Development] JimDog:
Just posting my experience.

1. Stock CM7 (didn't flash any other kernels)

2. GPS only worked on first boot if it was enabled (i.e. turning off GPS and then back on required a reboot for it to work).

3. Flashed (in this order):

3a. Vibrant_CM7_GPSFix_V1.5.1-CWM-nogpsd-signed

* Same issue, fast lock but not if you turn GPS off and then back on again.

3b. Vibrant_CM7_GPSFix_V1.5.1-CWM-newgpsd-signed

* Worst. No lock at all even after a fresh reboot

3c. Vibrant_CM7_GPSFix_mod-signed (link quoted above)

* WORKS!!! Even after turning GPS off and then on again, still locked right away.

Note: I don't know what AngryGPS is and did not flash anything other than what is listed above. Hope that helps others.

Battery Charge

Bunz1, or anyone else, is there any methods you found that increased or improved the battery life with CyanogenMod? Any resolution to the speaker volume being so low?
[Vibrant Android Development] BUNZ1:
Make sure your phone is going into deep sleep when you turn it off. You can use CPU Spy to figure this one out.

I also have setcpu setup with profiles, as well as undervolting it for the 1000,800,400,200,100 speeds. I think i'm doing -25,-50,-125,-125,-125 on mines. I am not overclocking. Since the phone deep sleeps I don't have a screen off profile set.

I think the biggest thing that is helping ( i just started using this ) is juice defender (free version). It will turn off your data when the phone is off and check back for updates. In my situation I don't really need instant notifications so thus far this has been the best thing i've done to save battery life.

Hope this helps!
[Vibrant Android Development] dvargas2000:
thanks bunz1, i will try those things out.

CM7 7.1 Vibrant USB Mounting Issue

Hi, Im new to cm7 community i used use bionix 1.3.1 and changed to cm7 7.1.. I did search the forums and google.. But i cant find the solution. I have a problem mounting my USB to my computer. Is there any problem? My phone wont give the option to mount.. If anyone knows the fix. Please help me. Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mirmensky:
I am having the exact same problem, my computer can see the device for a second but for some reason it keeps saying "device driver not installed correctly" or something like thatand it goes away. One time it even saw the phone and sd card but disappeared quickly. I am probably going to use the software data cable app to copy the files I need on my pc, but if anyone knows how to get around it let me know.

Also, I am thinking about doing some light theming using uot kitchen. Does anyone know if this uses Edify or Amend scripting?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] CobraGT2000:
I believe the issues you guys are experiencing is due to a bad usb cable. Try a different one. Ones with ferrite cores work better and last longer.
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Sad to say I went back to 2.2 this morning. Really unfortunate because CM-7 made my phone feel so fast.

The GPS was really annoying on CM-7. I had to reboot the phone everytime I wanted to use it.

I couldn't resolve the low speakerphone volume

Also, I send a lot of attachments via email. I noticed the phone was getting uncomfortabily hot while synching and sending large attachments.

Not to mention I never got a clear answer on 911.

I'm dying to come back to CM-7. Hopefully those issues will be resolved soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] zenlakin:
Just odin'ed and flashed cm7 again and still can't get phone to charge to 100%. Maybe it is just my battery at this point?
[Vibrant Android Development] pelmenept:
Hmm. Have to take my words back.

Worked like a charm for couple of days and BAM doesn't go to deep sleep anymore.
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
How high does it charge? Mine would only go to 98% so I charged it while off to 100 and then calibrated my battery and how its fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] BBOXPT:
Same here! Not even if it has been charging all night long :\
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Cyanogen mod uses a different file system voodoo file conversion is unnecessary. Voodoo sound and color are still present via the voodoo app.

Almost every app is FC'ng!

well out of the blue after 2 weeks of bliss now almost every app is doing the FC!

Ive done Wipe cache and davlik cache, fix permissions, format cache. rebooted countless times not sure what to do. other than updates haven't installed anything since the initial rom flash.

short of reflashing...any Ideas please! on how to fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] MizSxxyBych:
I been having the same issues
[Vibrant Android Development] Emama:
Tried flashing all the above fix....

none of these work :(:(

one of it worked one time, but only one time and never happen again...

after mix and flash...I forgot which one and cant get it work anymore:(
[Vibrant Android Development] BUNZ1:
Finally got it to 100% using battery calibration app. Just charge it up as much as you can and do the calibration. Drain it till it dies and charge it up (i let mine charge overnight on OFF) when I woke up it was only at 97%. I went to work, let it run down again, then when I charged it back up it went to 100%.
[Vibrant Android Development] tsmithjr85:
just running it through a few battery cycles oughta fix the issues. i was charging full at 97% aswell, but i just unplug and replug charger until it went 100% full, then battery calibrated, and unplugged and went thru a buncha battery cycles over a span of a few days, 100% fully everytime i charge now.
[Vibrant Android Development] amwilliams9:
Well guys I think I have found a app that does not play fair with CM7. Ivona HD somehow screws up my permissions and causes my phone to go psycho. Massive FC's and does not allow me to access SU functions. I have been able to reproduce this multiple times. Is there a cure for this? If not I will go back to SVOX and just use it.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdm4u:
Flashed this last night. Gotta say, it's an awesome ROM. Best 2.3 ROM i've had. I have a question though, I dont seem to have an option anywhere to use the Front Facing camera. Anyone know how to fix this, or if there's even a fix for this?

Edit: Ok I found the Q&A section saying to push the libcamera.so from a galaxy s rom over. I did that, and overwrote the old one, but when I reboot, it just stays at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod boot screen.It doesn't move from there at all. I've pushed it with root explorer. Is there another method to push it without having this issue?

Still nobody has an answer to the apps that no longer show up in market????

I want to play the Gameloft games that I paid for in Market but cannot install them because they nolonger show up.

Is there no way to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Nits, I flash all the time and able to keep my Gameloft games functional by making sure I backup the gameloft folder that's in the internal sd and then restoring the apps with titanium backup using the app only not data+app. Make a copy of that folder and keep in a safe place, then after flashing a new rom if that folder is deleted, lost, or corrupted you can always replace it.

Hope this helps

Version

Long-time poster, thinking of moving from 2.2 to a GB-based ROM finally.

Quick question: What is the difference between this CM7 ROM and the one that you can DL in the nightly thread. Confused. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] pelmenept:
dddddddddddddddd
[Vibrant Android Development] 2000nits:
Thanks. I usually do use titanium, but when I switched back to CM (used the nightlies for quite a while, then went back to 2.2) I had a lot of issues with my phone so did not use titanium before switching this time. Is the only way to get these games to work to install another ROM then back them up and switch back to CM and restore them?

I would rather be able to install fresh from Market if there is some build.prop edit or something similar.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
The way I get them to always work on any ROM I flash is make sure the gameloft folder is in the internal SD card and restore App only with TB. I bought and downloaded the game directly from Gameloft so not sure how it would work buying and restoring them from the Android market. I know I have to guard my gameloft folder very carefully because my time is expired to re-download them from Gameloft so if I loose the folder I would have to buy them again.

[Vibrant Android Development] t1h5ta3:
just a heads up, 100% is 4.2v. all you have done is fooled the phone into thinking your 80% battery is fully charged.

the cm kernel shuld allow you to hit atleast 4.19v
[Vibrant Android Development] chingoo04:
That happen to me and the battery will drain fast. I did calibration but still the same. So what i did was charge the battery full and odin to 2.1 and then charge my phone again while turned off, then flashed to cm7. Now my battery is at 4.19v used to be at 4.24 with bionix 1.3.1. Well at least the battery drains less than before.

Other than that the ROM has been incredible, just wish I knew how to theme this with uot kitchen, I've been missing my transparent status bar mod I made for Zendroid, I created a theme but it said something about missing assets for my screen size. Same thing happened with a transparent theme I dl'd.
[Vibrant Android Development] DxTcmix:
I fixed the build.prop and all of Gameloft's games show up on the market, and their WAP site.

Make a backup of your current build.prop

download, and overwrite the build.prop in your system folder with my modded one.

clear market cache/data and reboot. Now all should work :)

I've been running cm7 for almost a week now and everything was working perfectly, but now all of a sudden my data doesn't work. I tried resetting the apn and even entering it in myself but it wont save. It happened once before and i rebooted and 3g worked again but now I cant get data at all. I even reflashed and everything. any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
Those with bad battery life. Maybe someone mentioned this already, but I had noticed it was connected to gps.

If you use the gps, lets say you just navigated somewhere, then you exit out of navigation once you arrive to your desitination. The icon in the notification bar for GPS turns off, so you assume GPS is off. However, in my experience GPS keeps running hidden in the background or something. The battery drains like crazy.

If you turn GPS off, then reboot and leave it off. Meaning don't ever initiate the GPS. The battery won't drain.

Maybe it was a fluke, I'm not a developer but it's just something random I noticed while I was on CM-7.

Can't wait to possibly come back if eugenes kernel fixed GPS issues. Waiting for the verdict anxiously!
