What radio are you guys using to get decent life with this rom? When I installed swagged out stock, I updated to the newest radio.

Now I switched to cm7 and getting terrible battery life. Don't think my phone is sleeping.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
I flashed gapps, not newtalk. I'll try it again later today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dablackface:
Same here Love the CM7 smooth, fast but battery Life just not sure whats going on with it
[EVO 4G Android Development] gregabyte:
I flashed the latest radio when I was on Decks. I just did a full wipe and installed cm 7.1 stable, Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc, and Galandy's Vision 1.1 GPS fix. Everything is rock solid and battery life is fantastic. Not going to change a thing until the next stable release!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toney Starks:
it finds my location in maps, but as soon as i use navigation it says acquiring gps, or waiting for signal, and its always grey never blue (thats when the gps works, when it turns blue)

i got gps status from the market, and it cant find any satellites, always 0, and ive tried speed test, still not working.

pls help guys i really need gps!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Abstract520:
I'm also looking for a gps fix as well. It never locks while trying to use navigation app. Any Help will be appreciated. (I have done

Okay, I flashed CM 7.1 and gapps again this morning and this time I got the google account log in and the google apps. Not sure why it wasn't working before.

Anyone have the custom app working with the ring lockscreen or is this a known bug? When I enable the custom app, it shows an additional ring for the app in the middle, but no matter where I drag that ring, it never unlocks. The custom app works find using the rotary style, for what it's worth.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
I'm a little confused on something. Is DTa2sd built into CM7 or do I need to download and flash it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dynamicpda:
You have to flash dtas2d, and after every time you flash a nightly as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bleys43:
You need to assign one to four apps as custom apps. With the rotary style, it will just make messaging the custom app if you don't assign one, but with the ring lockscreen, you need to assign apps, because you can have more than one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Or turn off the custom app starter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wvufan:
I'm not sure where you can assign more than one application. I see under Lockscreen -> Style Options the option for "Custom app starter", which I check, then a single "Custom application" from the menu item.

However, I only want one application (Camera), and I have tried this and other applications, all with the same results. The problem is that the extra ring shows up, but no matter where I drag it, the app never launches. Drag to unlock or to mute works fine. I have tried dragging to every side/corner with no effect. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Drag the ring to the app icon and release.

I installed the Qualcomm 1.1 driver (first one at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1132412) and it fixed my Navigation problems. It took a couple of reboots to get it to take, but I use it a few times a week and haven't had any issues. Hope it works for you guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks, that's what I suspected. I haven't flashed any nightlies, just the official 7.1. Not sure yet if I want to mess with the nightlies.

I've been using CM7.1 for about a day and a half now and I seem to have gotten most things working. The only issue I'm having is that the wifi tether app doesn't work. In fact, whenever I try to run the wifi tether app it screws up my wifi period (meaning I can't access anything over my wifi). I have to reboot to get wifi working again. I searched but didn't really find a solution. Anyone have an idea what's happening?
[EVO 4G Android Development] asoong:
Use the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" that comes with CM7 instead. You "may" need to uninstall your wi-fi tether app first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
The wifi tether app is what came with CM7. How do I get to the portable wifi hotspots, cause I don't see it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amagnatta:
It's native: Settings>Wireless & network settings>Tethering & portable hotspot

You can also add this via notification power widget, widget buttons and tick the "Toggle Wifi AP"
[EVO 4G Android Development] asoong:
Errr... Are you sure? I don't see any separate app for wi-fi tethering and I've been using CM7 nightlies for a while.

+1. I just tried using the native tethering and was able to tether my iPood and my laptop just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Excellent, that worked perfectly. I can't see who's connected to my wifi as I can with the wifi tether app, but it seems pretty fast. I don't really want to put the power widget on my desktop, so I have to figure out how to add the toggle to the notifications pull-down.

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

Well I thought I was sure it was installed with CM7, but since you say it wasn't, I think I know what happened. I've been using Synergy and I selected the option to back up my phone to Google. I'm pretty sure the wifi tether app was restored to my phone automatically. At any rate, I removed it and the built in hotspot is working good.

FYI - settings|CM Settings|Interface|Notification Power Widget|Widget Buttons|Toggle Wifi AP
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks. Looks like there is a lot of stuff in the CM Settings area. I'll play around with that tonight to see what all is available.

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

I think my battery might be at a point where the charge capacity has dwindled. I've always used Sense roms and got pretty good battery life (18 to 30 hours depending on usage). I was recently running Synergy and I wqas getting mayby 8-10 hours max, which is strange since during the Synergy beta phase I was still getting pretty good battery life. I switched to CM7.1 to see if things would improve. I'm also running the tiamat 4.1 sbc kernel, but it appears I'm getting only slightly better results than I was with Synergy. What kind of battery life are you all getting on average?

I have a spare battery that I've only used one time, so I'm charging it now and will pop it in the EVO once fully charged. That should tell me if it's a battery issue or if something else is going on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trancefreak64:
I'm using the latest nightly are some you using the nightly s or the RC. I think the newly compiled nightly s work very well. There was a pause in the nightly s but I have had great experience with latest. I am on 11/06/11 nightly with saveged Zen 2.2.1. And smart ass governor. I get really good battery life as well. I love this Rom I've been using it for awhile but stepped away for a little bit for mikg. I did have 1 issue with 1 of the recent updates on cm7 that caused my phone vibration to vibrate very hard. It's not a problem anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
I'll give the savaged zen kernel a try and see if my battery life improves. I've only tried tiamat to this point, and version 4.1 at that. As I said, I hadn't tried any of the nightlies yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Try Tiamat 3.3.7
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Thanks, I'll give 3.3.7 a try. Interestingly enough, I downloaded it at the same time I downloaded 4.1 since someone else said they were using it. I just though 4.1 might be even better, but as we know, newer doesn't always mean better. I'll flash 3.3.7 and report back the results after running it a day or so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] asoong:
I use SZ 2.2.1 CFS with SZ gov and typically get ~40 hours (personal best is 55 hours). I'm not sure how you're flashing your kernels but FYI, Kernel Mgr only goes up to 2.2.0.

I point this out because I *think* 2.2.1 is when SZ added SZStats to send data back to their mothership. Other than that, *.0 and *.1 seem to behave the same on my phone. I usually freeze/delete the SZStats app when I remember to. ;)

Good luck!

P.S. I tried tiamat (4.06) and my battery nose-dived so I switched to SZ and never looked back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Now that's more like what I have been used to since I rooted my EVO. I download everything and flash from recovery. I'll try SZ 2.1 as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Anyone have a working link to the savaged zen kernel? The links on the sz xda page appear to be down.

Decks v1.3d + LEE!
[EVO 4G Android Development] wvufan:
That's how the ring lockscreen works on Sense, but unless my CM 7.1 is different from yours, mine shows the custom app inside a third ring (one ring around lock, one around mute, and a third around the custom app icon), and no matter where you drag that, it does not launch the app.

Ding ding!! We have a winner. I flashed SZ 2.2.1 late last night and fully charged my phone. I've been off charger nearly 5 hours and I'm at 89% battery life. I've only checked a few emails, but this is much more in line with what I was getting a couple months ago and definitely better than I was getting with the stock and tiamat kernels. I left it at the default "smartass" governer, but I'll try the SZ governer tonight. Thanks again asoong!
[EVO 4G Android Development] asoong:
No problem - glad its working out for ya. After the kernel settles in for a few days and if you're still happy with it - there's also the SVZManager (or something like that) which you can download. Its a separate app that lets you toggle the SBC feature on and off. You can do the same through terminal I think but I've always been too lazy for that sort of stuff. :D

Good luck!

Hello all,

I'm new to this ROM, been a long time fan but never had a device that supported it, and now I just took the time and installed it. Everything is going great but one thing:

Today I've been experiencing some issues regarding SMS. I can receive without issues but if I attempt to send a long txt via the stock app or GO SMS PRO i get stalls from the system and my SMS (not MMS) are not sent. It happened to me 2 times already.

I've rebooted the system several times, deleted the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db and rebooted, cleared cache from the dialer and the messaging app without success.

I've enabled the split outgoing messages and still wont work.

For sometimes it works and everything is ok, but I've notice that If i send a longer than usual SMS the sending process will stall.

Any suggestions?

losing setup on reboot

I'm running nightly 243 with dtapp2sd, "a2sd datasd", ie /data/data and /data/app are on the sd card.

Every few reboots, CM7 will go dumb and forget my google account information and desktop configurations, but it will remember all my app settings, eg Facebook.

Anyone have an idea on what could possibly be wrong?

I figured this out. Do not use "a2sd datasd" on CM7.1, at least not with dtapps2sd version 2.7.5.3b4. "a2sd cachesd" works fine. (I had the opposite problem with a Sense ROM before this.)

Incoming Calls Stop Music

Hello.

I love -- Love -- LOVE the CMod7 on my Sprint EVO.

My only beef is this:

I've tried multiple music apps. When a call comes in, the music pauses. When I deny the call, it goes back to the music player, but it doesn't auto-start the music player.

No matter what settings I use in PowerAMP, stock Music app, or Power Music or TuneWIKI . . . I even set up Tasker with a rule that when a music player is running, no notifications can come through, ringer is off.

So it doesn't ring, but it still cuts off the music.

Is there a setting with CMod7 that I may be missing?

MIUI seems to do this natively, I think, but after trying both, I think I prefer CMod (the battery life is AMAZING with how I use my device).
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
Do you often keep your phone in your pocket?

In all the threads about Cyanogen over the years one of the most common things people have talked about is the problem where the screen stays dark when you touch the power button to wake it up from sleep.

This often manifests itself as a complaint like "My phone won't wake up"

(Often countered with "Your phone is waking up fine but the backlight is just very very dark for some reason")

Some say they have the problem a lot, some say occasionally, some say they never do.

Has anyone ever put forth the theory that this issue is more likely to happen when the phone has been in your pocket or some other dark place just before you try to wake it up?

This might explain why "turning off auto-brightness" is an effective workaround?

And why some people never report the issue at all (ie they just don't keep their phones in their pockets)?

Just throwing it out there..

I don't get to keep up with the thread...but I check in from time to time.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Rapture Veteran:
i tried using SZ on my Evo but it wouldn't let me put the phone into USB mode to transfer files. I went to Tiamet (ive used SZ on all previous versions of CM) and I havent had the issue yet. Maybe I will try to go back to SZ since Tiamet isnt giving me the battery life I want
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
I may have spoken too soon. Since the initial flash of SZ and the good battery life initially, it hasn't been so great since. I'm gonna keep using it a bit more to make sure it isn't just settling in. Also, I flashed the SZManager, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] SirSigma:
Just when I switched over to SalvageMod a couple days ago. I've already started to like the rom, but at the same time, the allure of a stable and updated CM7.1 release is so tempting...

I'm backing up SalvageMod right now and I'm going to test both CyanogenMod and SalvageMod at one critical thing tomorrow: to see which of the two work with XpressConnect at my university, since CM7 regular never worked because some file to use it would be missing. I don't know if SM works, either, though, but I can find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sheeksta:
Yes sir! It's better but for me and some other EVOs which i support its still present.

First I've heard of this. I always assumed it was voltage related because in SZ you can adjust the voltages easily and it would instantly resolve my screen wake issues. I'll try the CPU min fix and post back with an update... Thank you!

I've tried several kernels in the past and I usually stick with Tiamat or SZ, both of which never resolved it for me. I'll try the minimum CPU fix and post back in a day or so. Thank you too!

I'm also using MrDSL's mixer theme (circle battery edition is my fav), but that really shouldn't make much of a difference. Oh yeah, i'm also using adw ex, and beautiful widgets (but beautiful widgets might actually hinder performance especially using the weather animation like I do).

[EVO 4G Android Development] linsalata28:
If you mean by couldn't get the phone to turn on that when you hit the power button the phone wouldn't come on the first time , you need to make sure your screen on and off animations are both on , also make sure your minimum cpu is 245 not 128.

I would recommend using tiamat 3.3.7 with the smartass governor or sz 2.2.1 with the interactiveX governor for kernels.
