Hi everyone! Thank you for your help in getting CM up to a flawless standard! We are now almost ready to deploy CM 1.5 - it will include MMS blocking, Class0 auto replies and many other new and very cool features.

We need your help now to iron out any remaining bugs before we embark on a daemon rebuild. Please download the app from the market and get testing! Here are the issues we want to address specifically:

- If you have problems regaining 3G after the telephony restart. This should have been fixed. If not, please try "Slow radio restart" in Debugging and report your results!

- Issues moving list priorities on Light or Dark theme. Again, if you have issues, please switch to the other theme, try again and then report back.

- Notification color schemes. We are interested if the new notifications comply with the majority of frameworks.

Thank you in advance for all your great work, this ultra-awesome app is as much a child of yours as it is of ours :)

Very cool. Will try this out and report back with my findings.

EDIT: After launching app (and giving SU permissions) 3G and all signs of data to and from my phone are gone. :( Uninstalled app and it's data, manually turned off data and turned back on and 3G appears once again.
[Motorola Droid X2] ftgg99:
The data connection will return, you just have to wait a bit.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I lost signal for a few seconds but then it came back, 3G never came back.
[Motorola Droid X2] ftgg99:
It should come back within a few minutes. This happens on many phones.

Please check by doing the following:

Uninstall, reboot.

Install, enable, grant root.

Keep screen on for 2-3 minues.

Tell me what happens.
[Motorola Droid X2] ftgg99:
OK guys, please sens some SMS to any number and then click "Write to us" in settings. We need to check how the SMS system functions currently.

Updated to r17,

- Tweaked password protection and hidden mode

- Added LED notifications

- Added private conversations
[Motorola Droid X2] ftgg99:
R19

- Many UI bugs fixed

- Help fixed

- Added data connectivity on CDMA/LTE workaround (beta)

We have released R19 - this fixes much of the help and (hopefully) data connectivity on CDMA phones and LTE enabled phones.

Data connectivity needs to be tested. This is very important. It may not work, but even if it doesnt you should send logs so we can finally fix this annoying issue on some of the lte phones and a few others.

So as usual, test connectivity by keeping your screen on at first boot, and then sending logs with a description!

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
Alright. Something has been driving me crazy. I know, short trip..right. However, I need your input to figure out what is going on here.

midNIGHT ROM is stripped of most of the bloatware. This is done by pulling the .apks out the the system/app folder prior to flashing the ROM. Now, one Sprint app in particular is, reinstalling itself after removal..

I have removed Sprint Zone from the system/app folder, however, after flashing the ROM it reappears over the next day or so. However, this time it shows up in the data. Meaning it was installed at some point after the apk was removed from the system/app folder at some point. The apk name has changes as well.

It has gone form this location and name:

system/app/SprintZone.apk

to

data/app/com.sprint.dsa.apk

Now anyone that has flashed my ROM will see that with the exception of Sprint Hotspot all other Sprint bloat has been removed. How many of you are seeing Sprint Zone show up later without your permission?

Is anyone else bothered by Sprints ability to do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
That's kinda weird. I'm running Starburst 1.5 and I look in my app drawer, and see no Sprint Zone. Then I go into settings > applications > all, and sure enough I see Sprint Zone there.

Edit - ooops, I missed it, I do see it in my app drawer now. No idea if Starburst 1.5 removes that or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
Most ROM's are stripped of Bloat prior to release. Where is yours installed? If it's in data/app it has been reinstalled at some point....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkasick:
I haven't looked into the actual mechanism so I can't provide directions on how to stop it. But what's likely happening is that Sprint has moved some of their stock-apps from being preinstalled to /system to being installed/downloaded on first boot to /data.

This gives users the ability to uninstall (certain) stock apps from /data and reclaim that space, which is something that users have long requested and carriers are finally making available.

I wouldn't assume at first that this is Sprint arbitrarilly pushing applications to phones at any time. Although they may have that capability as well, I don't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naerok:
Not sure about sprint zone, but once every few days, the sprint junk like Telenav, Nova, Nascar, and I think one more app randomly appears in my app drawer (installed to data partition).

It might do it every time our phones go through hands free activation (via ##72786#) but that's just pure speculation on my part from experience.

Sidenote, does anyone know what "Sprintandroidextension.apk" is responsible for? Seems to prohibit profile/prl updates when removed, but could be coincidence with less signal at my current location.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Yep, it was reinstalled at some point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
I have made sure to remove all the apks that can be removed safely, as far as sprint bloat is concerned. I never had this issue on the Epic 4G either, until recently.

If I remove Sprint Zone from data/app it will show up again in a few days and I begin receiving messages in the notification bar.

I have only experienced this with Sprint Zone but others are saying they are getting other Sprint Apps showing up. If Sprint ID was still present than I would think that could be a part of it, especially if it had been launched. However, Sprint ID was removed prior to flashing the ROM as were all the other Sprint bloat.

I'm not saying they have any malicious intent behind this but I don't want anyone pushing apps to my device, if that is indeed what is happening, without me providing permission prior to install..... :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
You can add me to the list. I keep getting it!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Me too. I noticed when I called *2. I immediately uninstalled it after. I just checked and sprint music, TV, Nascar, hotspot and movies have all returned, as well. Going to uninstall them with titanium. This is bull****.

I am running midNIGHT 2.1 and it reinstalled on mine as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Its not pushing to your phone... they are on a /preinstall partition...

When I get to my pc ill give more details
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Sprint Zone popped up for me and I thought maybe it's because I reinstalled TW Launcher (along with the bloat) but I 100% removed it shortly after installation and now it's back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ptfdmedic:
That's interesting. I know on the Photon there is a visible folder labled preinstall. It makes things pretty difficult to remove at times.

I would be very interested in learning more. Thank you ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fnut6969:
I've removed it successfully with both Titanium Backup and SDX app remover, it hasn't returned for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
I am running Midnight 2.1 and mine has not returned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
ok excuse me, its /preload...

anyway.. i found it while doing some test via teamviewer trying to remedy the yellow triangle

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw / /
mkdir -p /preload
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /preload
mount -o remount,ro / /

to look at it.. as for when it prompts a restore of these apps, I don't know... as for what happens if you were to delete them, again.. I don't know...

if you do, back them up so you can put them back in case something goes wrong...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I thought I remember some stuff showing up in stock recovery saying it was installing some apks when I chose the boot system now option, even though I didn't ask it do anything. I just figured it was some residual stuff left over from initial startup. Possibly it is reinstalling the preload stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Is that why we can delete some is the bloatware because they are held on a preload partition

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I believe what is happening is when you do certain operations like booting into stock recovery or doing ##786# reset, it is copying the files in the hidden partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) to /data/app

These are the contents of the hidden partition

-rw-r--r-- root root 15354 2011-07-30 07:56 MobiTV.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 16271 2011-07-30 07:56 NOVA2HD.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 17349 2011-07-30 07:56 SprintMusicPlus.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 15996 2011-07-30 07:56 Telenav.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 14643 2011-07-30 07:56 mSpotRadioSprint_VPL.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 17197 2011-07-30 07:56 nascar09_prod.apk

As far as "bloatware" goes, this is pretty minimal and relatively easy to remove (you can remove them from Android using the Android app manager). These aren't the "actual" apps, they are just placeholders which download the actual apps when you first click on them. Even if you didn't remove them, they don't take up significant space, nor do they run anything in the background. Essentially they are just shortcuts on the desktop. You could theoretically remove the files from the hidden partition (backing them up if you want) and they'd be done for good, never showing up again even on resets.

With respect to Sprint Zone that is actually an app in /system. Usually it shows up after you remove it because Sprint Installer runs in the background and "updates" Sprint's "system" apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Taking this into consideration, I just uninstalled all the crap apps again and also uninstalled Sprint Installer. Hopefully, this will stop it from happening again.

Wouldn't that be something if we found out that the Sprint Installer running in the background was the culprit for LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
yep it re-installed on mine also, midnight rom

WEIRD?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Isn't s Sprint Zone required for dialing *2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
No. it just goes to sprint zone instead of dialing direct, if you have sprint zone. It's a pain in the ass, really.

When it's not installed, *2 takes you right to customer service.

Sent from my extra sensory space modulator while performing the slippery cricket
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I only mentioned it was responsible for keeping the Sprint system apps up to date. LOS is a whole different story.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Are you sure about that?

Because that's not how it worked on Evo3d - the dialer would crash if Sprint Zone was uninstalled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Yeah. I'm sure. I have had Sprint Zone uninstalled since OG Epic. I just dialed *2 and put the phone to my ear and I immediately hear, "welcome to Sprint".

How do I open zimage
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_t321:
You can't unzip the zImage and make changes. You'll need to compile the kernel from source yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13pointseven:
Ok thanks for the reply. I am currently downloading the cm7 source code from github. Can you help with regard to overclocking?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_t321:
You could try looking at the original overclocking commit and modifying it.

Why would you ever want 1.8GHz though? It'll almost certainly be unstable.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13pointseven:
OK so what I've sussed out so far is as Oxygen ROM is cm7 based I can extract the boot.img from stable cm7 ROM (which is the kernel) and replace it with the Oxygen boot.img thus creating oxygen 2.3.1/wolverine, clockable to 1.6ghz.

I have found a tut on unpacking ramdisk, is this the boot.img?

If so can anybody tell me how id go about further increasing clock speed once unpacked?

Any help appreciated, cheers Andy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave_t321:
Like I said, it's not possible to change the available frequency steps in a compiled kernel. You can't unpack it and make changes, you've got to build it from source.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13pointseven:
Thanks for the reply, I believe I have the source and instructions on compiling unsure what to edit. Am I rite in saying the kernel is generic to all devices and need tailoring to suite? Please forgive the noobness I like to dive in deep end. Hopefully studying comp sci in sept if I get my grades so maybe then ill be able to contribute to the forum a little better :)
