Qbking on op

One last question for you guys before i take the plunge. I currently have the acs recovery 1.0 and thinking of just flashing the ACSRecovery5 1.0.0.0 before all this. Does that version work fine for flashing these mtd roms
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Haha yes. I just flashed it with CWM 3.1.0.1!

And when you flash CM7 it will automatically install CWM5.

But as far as putting ACSRecovery on there...I don't see why not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
This is great.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Thanks for your hard work and congrats on becoming official. Is installing this is as simple as flashing the zip with CWM 5? The reason I ask is that on the CWM 5 page it says that it doesn't support MTD and should not be used. Has this changed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
can someone recomend a decent tethering program for the meantime? i can live without 4g but i have to be able to tether
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
CM7 automatically flashes CWM5 upon installation.

That one has always worked for me. Open Garden in the market works well too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
crap... my browser is force closing... am i going to have to reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
Thanks for the reply. I already have CWM5--so if I use it to flash CM7, CM7 will install a (presumably) MTD compatible version of CWM5? (Just based on the CWM5 page that I got my particular version from, which says BML only) I apologize to be picking the point like this, I just cant afford to damage my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Yep yep yep!

And if that's the case do not flash ACSRecovery5.

Try clearing everything(cache, data, etc) in applications.

Or else yes. Or you could try an alternative. My favorite is Opera. But you could also try Dolphin, Boat, or any other.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
nice... clearing data seemed to fix it

I guess my phone just doesn't like cm cause after every attempt that I think is possible the battery still won't last 6 hours!

Still an awesome rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
I'm having the same issue as seoulseek.. seems to happen randomly when switching between wifi and data. Says its connected to wifi but no internet and then the 3g won't connect. Pain in my ass lol I almost threw my phone, but I reflashed the rc0 KANG and its working now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] titosapien:
There is bug with changing wallpapers. You need to reboot you're phone in order to change wallpaper..
[Epic 4G Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Battery seems a lil better with the nightly. Speaker phone works now! Wallpaper changes normally for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
This not a bug it is how cm7 works, with every single theme you flash using theme chooser it expresses the fact that you should always revert to the basic cm7 theme then flash theme or wp then reboot phone. It's sop for this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tony45x220:
What's going on with my root access this 3.0.7 isn't giving me root access...I had it for about an hour then it just stopped working...updated SU binary...still a no go...anyone have a solution!?!?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Yes as the other poster said reflash the rom to revert back to official kernel. The cm team that developed this rom will not assist you if you have altered the kernel or framework of this rom. At that point you would be on your own. You can always pm someone who's taken the time to try to help you without adding to this thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Not too s of an op. I've never had to reboot to change my wallpaper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aestil:
What do I need to be able to do to get the right permissions to change / delete the file in system/etc/wifi?

Right now I get errors saying I don't have permissions to do that.

I'm having problems with the wifi where it connects just fine, but when my screen is off, i lose the connection and when I turn the screen back on, it won't reconnect to the wifi.

I have the 'never sleep' option checked for the wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Didn't say anything about op, said its sop (standard operating procedures) If you read the wikis and the instructions from every theme developers they all say the same thing. This is not only for this rom but every cm7 build on any phone. Sometimes it will flash right but others it won't. They actually say to revert to std cm7 theme, reboot, flash new theme or wp, then reboot again. I have seen where multiple themes have combined and made a mess. Hey I'm just relaying what I have read and experienced.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Quick question are you using any app like juicedefender or anything that is supposed to assist you with battery saving technique?
[Epic 4G Android Development] haas599:
No audio out through USB

What are the chances of this ever working with CM7 or CM9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Go somewhere in the cyanogenmod settings and change the lockscreen time out to immediate, and make sure yu have no new notifications and the camera button won't wake your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aestil:
No. No battery saving apps like that at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
It doesn't get slower and your post doesn't make sense either.

Come to my neighborhood and see how long the little punk down the street with his modified wifi dish antenna takes to hijack your network.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
lol I know, I was just saying that it wasn't too Standard of an Operating Procedure ... all I am saying is that I've never changed my wallpaper and had to reboot. Guess I've just gotten lucky. Wonder if it matters how you change the wallpaper. I usually do it through the gallery or browser.
[Epic 4G Android Development] EV0LUTIONX:
I'm having an issue pairing bluetooth devices. It pairs but does not connect. Can anyone help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Actually if you say "unencrypt" I'm not sure you know what your talking about...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Same with me on wp, I do it through adw and sometimes it doesn't load so I just go back and load it again. But in those moments when it hasn't loaded, if I would have rebooted it would have been there when it restarted. Tested that theory also. But hey like I said just relaying what the instructions said, even though most people here don't read instructions, they where the ones building model plains all jacked up that the companies came out with snap together models.... Lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Sorry can't help you, I was just thinking that you may have loaded something that was controlling your data since you said it happens when it goes to sleep.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I never said unencrypt. You can use whatever encryption you like but I spent my money on speed and I think some of you are just paranoid that someone is sitting in your driveway just trying to hack into your wifi. If they are so broke they can't afford their own internet. Then odds are they can't afford a wifi enabled device. Unless you paid $700 for a cisco wifi access point your wifi is not broadcasting past your driveway and they do that for your security.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Kewl... I experienced a brief outage, but I was on a different kernel... I just toggled data on and off a couple of times to restore... I switched back to stock rom to see battery life is better... was on RandomRom with excellent battery life prior to plunging into the world of CM7... But I like the features of CM7, which I why I am sticking with it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Something i have to chime in and say, if you're going to flash this rom and use it with a third party kernel do not for a second be surprised if something odd is to happen. The intended way for CM7 to be run is with it's stock kernel.

I've just seen too many posts in here based on another kernel and not the stock kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nutswillkillme:
This was left in the dust real fast. Anyone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Bad battery life is due to you guys using kernels that use barely modified tweaks from touchwiz, broken sound drivers, broken overclocking methods (tegrak). If you run stock with no tweaks or modded kernels you will get good battery life.

THE ONLY ISSUES IVE SEEN ARE TEGRAK OR SAMURAI RELATED
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjh8812:
try this, i kept finding some that installed but the icons were blurry so i kinda patched a zip together..worked fine on my end icons are clear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Not necessarily... Started with stock... no tweaks of any kind. After my second battery swap, installed latest Samurai kernel, which was had slightly better battery life, but had the mic squeak and comms disconnects... reloaded stock rom, after I reloaded I went back in to wipe cache and dalvik... when the phone is "idle" battery is good... but when actively used... 3 hrs... the lion's share of the usage is attributed to the display. Which is on its lowest setting... still experimenting with governors...
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i wouldn't expect very good battery life when actively using the phone for 3 hours...
[Epic 4G Android Development] txtmikhail:

[Epic 4G Android Development] worldwidepmp:
I didn't touch anything at all and had bad battery life, but with the latest "nightly" everything seems to be right in the universe including no distorted speakerphone which I use a lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
Anyone know if there's a way to disable phone-wake via camera button? It kept turning my screen on during the day today. It might just be a bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sollord:
I hate it when people way over power a WiFi signal since it causes issues for the neighbors by making a single channel useless and it's even worse when they do it using 40mhz HT and provides almost no real benefit. You should have the same mW setting on your AP as your wifi enabled device or it can cause issues on it's own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I disagree. I'm using the samurai kernel and having great battery life... but as always YMMV depending on the way you actually use the phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] midnighttoker:
I'm having troubles with receiving phone calls. The caller will here 4-5 rings on their end but I will hear only one ring on my end before it goes to voicemail. I haven't been able to to pick the phone up fast enough a single time.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bigdbag:
That 'solution' doesn't do anything to affect the problem at hand. I'm pretty sure it's a bug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangambino:

[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:

THIS IS THE ZIP FOR FIXING THE CAMERA WAKE ISSUE( SORRY FOR THE CAPS LOL)

i hope this and the rotation lag fix are implemented to the new nightly because it is pretty annoying when you are playing music and the phone keeps waking up in your pocket..

p.s. please don't flame me lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
If the guy you quoted had said "themes" instead of "wallpapers" then you would be correct - but he didn't, so you're not.

His issue is a bug, because the standard operation of CM has been to change the wallpaper immediately (or else I have the most awesome, convenient bug ever, and it has been present since the first Epic CM7 build - please, dev team, hurry up and don't change it!) ;)

I've got my samsung battery it came with and 2 ebay batteries with a wall charger (cost an $10 shipped, even found a us supplier) I went from 8am to 6pm, my work schedule on normal useage, including pandora from points a-b in the car and I still had plenty of battery left.. I don't know the exact percentage but no battery issues here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Battery discharge that fast is def. not normal. Maybe you had a bad download and/or flash idk....

My battery life is amazing.... i can go all day on a with a single charge... I have posted a few screen shots in this thread. OEM Battery produced on 09/26/2010.

If you have battery life issue's I can say it's not ROM related, I have been on CM7 ever since E911 was fixed and have never had battery life issue's.... I'm willing to bet rouge app or possibly app syncing to much or just in sucky service area and trying to use the phone like it's a super computer.

Download the app Battery Calibration and follow the instructions. This is not the ROM, this is you failing to properly calibrate your battery between flashing ROMs. Nobody else is seeing this crazy battery drain you're seeing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
ERA should have a working mtd rom tonight so you could return. You can enter your ip address to connect but I would clear all data reset your router and try again having the phone find the wifi signal. You may have to toggle wifi on and off several times. Once it connects it usually never has a problem again.

Small bug. Some old videos taken with my camera now play in incorrect orientation from how they were originally recorded.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
This is not a normal week for me. I am on vacation but this is my stats over the last day and a half. You take what you want from it but I usually have around 60-40% left when I go to bed at night. That consist of 3+ hours of music a day and heavy texting and somewhat dismal work environment where the signal can drop. I have a AIR at my house so I haven't been away from home a whole lot this week or the pass day or two. But your numbers just don't add up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
What ?

Ok

1) Charge the phone to 100% & Blue LED turns on then unplug.

2) now power down phone leave it off & plug it back in until the the LED turns blue again,

3) Now that its 100% & Blue unplug boot into CWM & wipe battery stats.

Thats how its done. Also i like to let the phone run down to 20% or so before i recharge it, & on the first recharge i keep it plugged in until its blue. after that fist cycle charge how ever you want.

I'm not even sure it's motion of the camera. I just took a few more vids to test it and it seems to just get screwy at random.
