gps trouble

Ciao

This ROM is fantastic in fastboot and is stable, but has trouble with GPS :crying: :if google maps 6.12.0 is running the GPS not working, BUT if I kill G-maps! all works fine and GPS fix in few seconds.

So: If G-Maps is running in backgrownd and an app asks for GPS (also G-maps itself), the GPS label flash 2 times and after it disappears and there's no GPS available.

someone have a solution without bloodshed :D ?

Thank you and ciao
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jufece:
i´ll test it, hope to not get blackscreen issues or bootlops.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jufece:
how can i get MediaGallery.apk working in this rom :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
try this one see if it works.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jufece:
Nope, It didn´t worked. :(

This rom could be perfect if just it had default camera and gallery app from motorola :(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] andrexo:
Hello friends, know if screen rotation works?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
It works if you have a milestone xt720 and their are bootfix and sensor fixes motoroi.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] andrexo:
Where can I find the sensor and fixes BootFix MOTOROI? I can install them at any time?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] pilev:

That was an [MENTION=3526783]fjfalcon[/MENTION] link. I assume he took it down, sorry
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Damn.. people...

First, WHY USE ALPHA of cm7?

Second, xt720.ru moved to android.fjfalcon.com/xt720

so use some imagination to get new woriking links :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Last build:

http://xt720.ru/Files/Mods/cm7/update-cm-7.1.0-MilestoneXT720-alpha-10192011-signed.zip

Tomorrow will establish nightly build server and nightly build will get on work at 0 am at Moscow(+4gmt).

So... after that will proceed with fixing.. and creating.

(As i promise media key get work... e.t.c)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I have to try the bravo but i have the impression to coming back after tsting cyanogen... I m still with 6.3 for the moment

This 7.1 seems good and stable but without contacts it s hard...

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Thanks but i don t understand what s new???

Is the contact working now???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Well,i'am sorry, but what contact problem?

I have everything working about contacts.

Is there problem with google account?

Well, have you installed latest gapps?

Also, i'am updating mine row so:

update latest build,

wipes,

update gapps

boot.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Yes of course i install the latest gapps

My google account for the market works fine

But i can t connect it to my contact. When trying to add an account it only let me choose between microsoft exchange account and facebook account...

I have no contact at all even after restoring my sd backup (but it find all the contact...)

edit i ll try all the process again.... we never know with the xt720...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Just for you.

Right now going to reflash mine phone with wipe all data and latest build.

And will check info about no google account option.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
I have a fix for that problem you will need system appremover.

With this app you will restore it to your system NOT install it.

It's back couple pages it's a paid app I can't post it.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Damn, once again forgot usb.apk =(
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ashish7350:
Hey B_e_n have you tried to check the display options in contacts.........
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Who already downloaded last build, redownload it.

Added usb.apk and lights.sholest from j.y.daddy build(once again mine liblights don't work)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ashish7350:
Hey fjfalcon I tried the last build (before this quote). One thing my xt720 is refusing to wakeup once I switch off the screen. Any suggestions....

Edit... now trying the reuploaded one, will report again......
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] warrenkb:
Hey FJ,

So far everything on this ROM has been great and just like CM7.1 on my nexus one. The only issue I am facing (aside from the camera not working but I know you are working on it) is that the media gallery freezes and requires me to FC it almost every time I use it.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I have tried both images stored in the /system folder as well as those on my sd card and both causes freezes.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
It s the same for me

After installing only your update (and the last gapps) my contact can t connect at all. No google account at all

And ext still don t work

After applying the ext update by fwals you can found it here

BTW no way to incorpore it in the rom?

And the last market update (i post it a few pages before)

it ask me for my google account and the market work but still the same for my contacts...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
please post logcat about that error
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
You have to explain how... Still a noob...

I can t understand why you don t have this problem warrenkb

3dstring have the same and mhlbenner fix it by his own...

edit sorry ashish i forget you yes i check that too......
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
lights will not come back on after lights turn off you have to pull battery.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ashish7350:
I faced it too, but once I redownloaded it (as mentioned by fjfalcon, some posts back) its working fine for me.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Explaine me, why i install everything normally?

Maybe you use wrong gapps?

Maybe you restore some settings from tb or something like tb?

I done after launch:

skip, skip, skip, Settings, Acc and Sync -> add google acc.

Everything works.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Well, in log there is no errors.

I also have checked and played with gallery - everything works fine, photo can be viewed and e.t.c.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
If the video~decoding and work it would make this the best ROM out their he is getting closer with every new build.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Added it to 99touch in /etc/rootfs/init.d cause in sh_hijack it won't work.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] tiger2wander:
Sorry, wrong topic! My own Motoroi, not MS :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I can t understand what s going on...

I use the french sbf maybe that the point... It s the only difference...

I use the gapps of your first post (gapps-gb-20110828-signed)

I m going to start all over again... With the cbw sbf and i m going to download an other version of gapps...

It have to work!!!

And what about the market are you installing something to get it?

And to enable ext are you planning to add it to the rom??? Or you d rather keep the update separate?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Normally gettings all apps from market(xda-dev premium for example).

Ext will be added.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Hey buddy, I been away from this ROM for a few day's getting my nieces phone ready, I want to flash this on my xt do I just flash this last build you posted a page or 2 back? Or is it just an update to your O.P.? Sorry for the dumb question.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Just flash latest build =)

Thanks you were right it was my gapps file which seems to be corrupted... (but the installation was succesfull...) for those with the same issue download the last gapps from the official site here

I do all again and everything is working well now contacts market(no need to update) and the ext too with the fwals ext update (you can find it here)

Thanks a lot it seems really good for the moment... I think i m gonna try it for everyday use

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
Downloading. Will try this for the first time, coming from JY's Ho!No! port.

Looking forward to this one, thanks FJ!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I don t know why but after one day of use it become very very slow (about 2minute to launch the market i never had this....)

I think it s just after i try motomizer from J.Y.Daddy... I just install the one click pack but maybe it s not the good settings

I also try this an app only for cyanogen 7 to enable and manage app2ext but it make me a bootloop but i had already install the ext update maybe it create a conflict... if someone have the time to test it without the ext update...

I will see if its the same with the new version.

edit: what app have you try on this rom to improve perf??? supercharger? v6 or v8? motomizer?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] banshee56:
Just to be clear on this ROM, it must be updated via openrecovery from a 2.1 ROM rather than a 2.2 (i.e. CBW 2.2)?

I am excited about trying this ROM, but degrading speed and available RAM with CM6.3 and the other CM7 ROMs are keeping me at the basic CBW2.2 right now. I'm stuck with this phone for another 13 months unless this one messes up bad enough to get sent back via equipment insurance, so I want to have the best running ROM possible, but stability and steady RAM (I think having 45+ is necessary to make this phone feel right) are very important.

Of course, thanks to the devs for all their hard work. It's made owning this phone tolerable.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
I don't getted to improving for now..

But, for me - it really fast without any improvments.

BTW, what quadrant score with our rom ? =) (i haven't enabled any cheats,so...)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
It was really fast but after the ext update(i think i hace to much apps...) and the motomizer patch it s gone crazy... It wasn t fast enough to be able to answer to a call.....
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's a little confusing, but it's the SBF that matters not the ROM. You don't need to reflash anything (CBW 2.2 runs on the 2.1 SBF so it's fine). It's only the *Korean* 2.2.1 *sbf* that would require reflashing. But it's the SBF part that matters--the Korean ROMs have been ported to the 2.1 SBF (WanHu, Bravo). Anyway, I realize it's confusing... bottom line you're fine.

Free memory problems can usually be fixed on any ROM using a minfree tweaker (and sometimes by changing the vm heap size). The various ROMs just have different defaults--if you set the minfrees similarly then things are more comparable. Try Autokiller Memory Optimizer. Personally I think the sweet spot is around 30MB free for me--lower causes too many background processes to die, but it depends on your workloads. I don't really do "heavy gaming", from what I can tell that's what seems to benefit most from huge amounts of free RAM.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] banshee56:
Thanks for the SBF/ROM info on flashing this ROM!

I already do use Autokiller Memory Optimizer, and instead of V6 Supercharger which seems to make my phone chug. The CBW2.2 ROM seems to be running well so far with an average of 45 or so of available RAM. I do have to use Widgetoid to replace the notification power switcher funtionality from CM, so that takes a toll on RAM sometimes. I don't really care about FM radio or the gallery button (I use QuickPic and it works wonderfully), so I am most interested in the other core functions/options in the CM ROMs that are better than stock 2.2.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
fj, I pushed backported symsearch-based modules into android_device_motorola_sholest.git (I've been testing them privately on CM6.3 for a while). Not sure what the "protocol" is for github organizations... do you prefer I fork and make pull requests?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
For some reason the youtupe app will not work any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ashish7350:
Latest build have a very tiny keyboard. I mean keys are very small, and its difficult to type.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] fjfalcon:
Just install another keyboard.

For example i use Swype.

Youtube, live video apps not work for now...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I have the same issue...

It s the same we had in the beginning of the 6.3 rom

there is an keyboard update in the thread. It must work here too

You can also install another keyboard from the market (it was working with 6.3...)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Here is the post with the keyboard fix from 6.3 but not sure it will work on 7.1. Could be a base for it to get fixed though. DO NOT APPLY THIS TO CM7. I would think that it would have to be tweaked correctly for this ROM.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] banshee56:
I just flashed this ROM (along with the gapps and the KB from 6.3) and it gets to the setup screen where you touch the Android, but it reboots to the boot animation shortly after. Any ideas on what info I can get to help diagnose? I flashed over CBW2.2.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
This is the gingerbread keyboard I've been using (as an update.zip).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
peshovec found the fix for that in CM6.3. It was pretty easy:

I just flashed from 2.1 and The Gapps Ben posted didn't work for me, sent me thru a bootloop and when my phone is timed out the camera light blinks. Not sure if it's just my issue or what just reporting.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] brianlili:
Great job. All third party firmware have gaps with stock's in camera, camcorder. They are the hardest parts, maybe you will break them. thank you.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
are you sure you don t forget to wipe all before installing the gapps???
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I used the gapps from the CM website, no bootloops.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] banshee56:
I restored the CBW2.2 nandroid then OR updated the latest build and gapps from the OP and everything seemed to work. I did have to get the fwals ext fix from a coupe pages back to fix app2ext

Other than that, things are working great other than the things listed in the OP as not working.

RAM isn't as high as I'd hoped, but it doesn't seem to affect it yet. I will keep running this daily and see you're how it goes.

I try the Cyanogen cpu perf settings to remplace setcpu and it seems to do the work
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah and I just tried again, same result

Of course it's only my issue! Lmao. You guys aren't getting the camera light flashing either?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] JiroPrinz8:
I have the camera LED lights turn on when I charge my phone while turned off.. I think this is a cm7 thing..
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Mine stay flashing when just timed out not charging LOL. Oh well I will fix it sooner or later. Still trying to use my other 8gb card I was having trouble with.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Flashed 3-669-SuperScaryStable on top of nightly cm7 212. Subsequently, WiFi could not maintain a lock. The phone would find the wifi network get a lock for a moment and immediately lose the lock. Get a lock, lose the lock. . . . Settings I tried were Scary and smartass governors 245mhz - 1.2ghz

Anyway, flashed nightly 220 (back to regular cm7 kernel)-- back to wifi working fine.

Maybe I looked too quickly but all I saw in the development thread pertained to Super Scary not working with sense roms.

Hmmmm.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Download wifi analyzer from market and figure out what is conflicting with your wireless router.

toastcfh's stock kernel is considered the most stable kernel because it's been tested and proven to work with everything time and time again.

However, I have no problems with wifi on Scary's kernel. Again, I'm not saying there are no issues because when I'm at work I do have issues but I have wifi issues on my laptop with the wifi here as well, they have way too many APs broadcasting on the same channel (4-5 APs for channel 3, 4-5 APs for channel 7, 4-5 APs for channel 11) so I seriously doubt it's a problem with the kernel but more a problem with your local wifi router configuration.

Run wifi analyzer and it will answer this question.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Am I right to assume that I should run the test you recommend after flashing Scary and recreating the problem - cause on Toastcfh's kernel there is no problem connecting to that router whatsoever?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
You can run the same test on toast's kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Well, you know, maybe it's just all about the goofy phone itself after all.

Trying to do the test (following a reboot) I'm just about sitting on top of the router (that I've confirmed is working) with wifi enabled on the shift and all I'm getting is "not in range." Can't get the wifi icon to even display at the moment.

Thanks for the help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Open ROM manager and run fix permissions and reboot again, then turn on wifi and open wifi analyzer again.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Did it. But seems that I've got the same problem. Connects for a little bit and then disconnects. It just can't maintain the wifi link. Doesn't stay up long enough to even get a screen shot of wifi analyzer.

Maybe I should try another nightly, stable cm7 or sense?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
You can't take screenshots on wifi analyzer. Just analyze it yourself. How many APs are broadcasting on the same channel as you? More than 1? Change the channel.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
There are two and they don't overlap. One is centered over channel 6, the other (weaker one) centered over channel 11. But the problem is that the parabolas that show the signal strength disappear pretty quickly and the wifi indicator at the top of the phone just disappears. What do you think about the possibility that I should switch to a different nightly or sense?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Ignore the APs disappearing. It sounds like your router is either a piece of junk or misconfigured.

Try configuring the wireless radio on channel 1.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Shouldn't be a piece of junk. wasn't that cheap ;-)

Works fine with my computer anyway.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
That means nothing.

What kind of router is it? Manufacturer / Model number?

Also please remove ScaryKernel from the title of this thread since we have proven this problem happens on toastcfh's kernel as well.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Netgear N600 WNDR3400

Why's it meaningless that I have no trouble with WIFI on laptop?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Netgear sucks. Do yourself a favor and go buy a Linksys WRT610N or one of the new models.

Other than that all I can tell you is switch your wireless channel.

It's not a problem with the phone or the kernel, it's the router.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Ok - I'll try switching the channel first ;-)

Also - going to find some other routers to test the phone against

Thanks for all the time spent troubleshooting here
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
Ok - Vic - here's the end of the story, since you've been good enough to work with me on this - -

Installed and ran an app called "FXR WiFi fix and rescue" from the market. Didn't appear to help.

So, restored nandroid of Mik 1.6 and WIFI WORKS PERFECTLY once again. Strong, stable, consistent lock on the Netgear signal (and another close-by router as well.) Problem solved for me.

Not going to make any rash accusations ;) about what the culprit may be which caused wifi to fail for me on cm7.

I'm happy I've confirmed it's not the phone.

Maybe my shift just likes MikRoms and Supreme Sense and was punishing me for experimenting!! :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Glad to hear it but I'm still wondering.. did you even TRY changing the channel?

I get 20+Mbps over Wifi on 2.4ghz.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sdk234:
I was planning to try changing the channel, but you know what -- just happened to restore Mik 1.6 first.

And the result was dramatic. On the nightly CM7 the graphs displayed on wifi analyzer weren't stable at all. Even when the parabola's appeared for a few moments, their height was shifting up and down. It was like the signal strength was fluctuating.

On Mik's rom the height of the parabolas is higher than I saw before and just stays put.
