Just updated the latest nightly and noticed that “setcpu” now goes up to 1200 MHZ…this thing really flies! Just had a quick question, is the new kernel “2.6.35_CM”? I noticed at boot up the Lenovo logo was still there, so I was just making sure. Once again thanks!!

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Try using a program on the market called "fasterfix"... makes a huge difference. I use it on my Droid X. What used to take 5-7 minutes to lock on now takes 5-10 seconds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wlmzfx:
Occasionally cannot boot after installed 5.1 CM7

Last night, I flashed the 5.1 rom, and I cannot boot to system while it stops at the start "lenovo" screen.

Then I went to the recovery and done double wipe, however I still cannot boot, and even I cannot boot to the recovery! (it appears that when the recovery screen appears, A1 shutdown automatically, do I need to flash the latest recovery? I am using the cm7-a1-recovery-2012-03-02.ub)

This morning, I tried again, luckly I boot the system, and this morning, I had 3 reboots, while 2 succeed and 1 failed.

where can I find some log files? this could probably a hidden issue.

PS: it takes a while to shutdown(about 10 seconds, I remember that I can shutdown it within 5 seconds before)

PS: it seems that if I hold the power button for a while (after the "lenovo" disappears) then I can boot successfully; if I just hold the power button for 3 seconds, the "lenovo" appears and then disappeared, then it appear again but hand on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
Usually it rebooted at least once at night during standby
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Is that with the new kernel roms or just in general. I know some people were having this issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
With the new kernel too

It didn't happen with 0501 build

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

It just happened :(

A1 in standby on the table, out of sudden - reboot

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7r4wkcnom04i1o/last_kmsg.txt
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpo234:
I can confirm this. With CM7 my A1 only occasionally gets a GPS fix. With stock this was not an issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drozda:
Me too :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
For those having GPS problems, I followed the instructions in this thread and now usually get a lock in under 15 seconds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpo234:
I tried FasterFix from the Market. This did not really help. My A1 sees a number of satellites, but still doesn't get a reliable lock.

With the stock ROM I once logged a complete train ride to work. This is simply impossible with CM7. I'm almost 100% sure that there is a regression relative to the Lenovo stock ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
Fasterfix didn't work for me either. If you check your gps.conf file you'll see that it's missing a lot of the entries that thread suggests.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
i have no /etc/gps.conf file, but Google Maps and Sygic are getting location in less than 10 seconds (when out of building)

no tweaks were made, no any 3rd party software used

0501 build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
Gps is working, seems only to initialize not so fast...strange...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
I'm still on 0501 build

The tablet was left in standby for couple of hours

Was found as switched off (not rebooted)

Here's the last_kmsg

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7r4wkcnom04i1o/last_kmsg.txt

I'm wondering what does this mean?

157 Corrected bytes, 874 unrecoverable blocks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
The last_kmsg has portions of it checksummed so the kernel knows if it got corrupted. Yours got corrupted (which is why much of it looks like gibberish), probably because the tablet was off for a while.

I suspect what happened is that your tablet crashed because of the wifi, and then failed to boot for some other reason then turned off.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drozda:
Just bought this mouse:

http://www.manta.com.pl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51&lang=en&dl=MM764#!dl=MM764

~ 10 Euro - works out of the box with CM7.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
On a related note, is anyone having success/failures with bluetooth file transfers with CM7?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
Just tried and failed both ways a1 <> pc and a1 <> galaxy s2.

It has worked in the past, but it may well have been when it was still on the factory rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Thanks for checking this. :)

I'd guess that there's something missing for BT file transfer in CM7, but as no-one has complained yet i'll leave it down the list of priorities.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
Certainly no problem for me, I tend to use wifi for moving stuff around.

Help

Good evening, if there is anyone Files " Restoration," Put pliz. P.S.stal set Cyanogenmod 7 logo is now on Android will not idet_Zaranee Thankful
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
If you're stuck on the Cyanogenmod 7 logo and you just installed it, you might not have wiped data/factory reset.

Try this:

1. Power off by holding the power button for 10 seconds

2. Boot up into recovery by holding power and Volume down

3. Scroll down to "wipe data/factory reset" using the volume keys, then press power to select

4. When asked if you really want to wipe data/factory reset, confirm by scrolling down and use power to select.

5. Reboot - hopefully it should get past the Cyanogenmod 7 logo.

I have a "brick" with the logo of Lenovo .. How to recover ? All of the above described, I tried. As I understand it, I fell off the "System Bootloader ". Can you put it, or give a link..?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
AFAIK, if you cannot go to recovery - no link will help you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SlaWkin-73:

I would be very grateful for the help. I " killed " boot Lenovo .. I hope for your help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
You can always get into recovery by booting from SD card, no matter how badly messed up your internal filesystem is.

SlawKin-73, you need to follow the instructions in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25470134&postcount=763

- this will get you into recovery and allow you to flash a Lenovo OTA package to restore your tablet.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Installed 5/04 today. Overall everything seems to be working pretty well so far. I do have a GPS signal at least in my house I have not tried it traveling so it may not work on a trip I will test it tomorrow. The only real difference I have noticed is video playback off SDcard seems more grainy. Playback is OK but videos I know were clear before are definitely grainy. I have not tested dsp manager. I will do that now. Overall a good release game play seems about the same.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

DSP mnager still has the same issue and work around. No wifi issues so far although I didn't under the old kernel either. I am not sure I like the soft keys on all the time any better than I liked them off all the time. We will see if it affects the battery at all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
GPS update if I stop it catches.up and shows where I am bit can't actually be used for directions. For me it is not a big deal I always have my phone with me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Further wifi tweaks

The changes I made to the wifi driver seem to have not cured the restart issue, although some users have reported that it has occurred less frequently. I've made some further changes to the wifi driver, which will be in the next nightly (06/05/12).

Although I made several changes to the driver source, the only one which is of note is this one.

Again, I look forward to receving your feedback! Please let me know how you get on with it!

On another note, does anyone know of an Android app that will repeteadly toggle the wifi on/off? It might help me replicate the crash once in a while, as my A1 is pretty stable - it often takes a week to crash.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Does that mean it is in this one cm7-a1-2012-05-05.zip or the one that comes out tomorrow?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
It should be cm7-a1-2012-05-06.zip - I guess it'll be there in an hour or two.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Upgraded testing now. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
It takes about a minute to connect to my wireless now. It used to take a few seconds.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
Installed, rebooted, wifi connected in seconds as usual

My "ultimate test" - video on YouTube

on the 2nd video the tablet went to shutdown

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7r4wkcnom04i1o/last_kmsg.txt
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmmurphy:
hi guys,

i want to say thanks to the op and all the others. recieved my a1 about a month ago. been watching this thread since. my a1 is like a real tablet now. directions were simple went without a hitch. many thanks. the biggest like is not only the speed but the menu buttons being visible now! i am willing to test and help any way i can. cant write code but good with adb and flashing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I watched 5 videos in a row with out a reboot. It may be a time thing how long were the videos you watched? Mine were all 3 minutes or less.

On a side note I see a little sluggishness on wake and then it smooths out in about 20 to 30 seconds. This could be related to why my wireless takes a minute to connect. Anyone else notice this?

Video playback off SDcard is better than last build not as grainy.

I am wiping cache and dalvik when installing new versions since they have their own kernels can anyone tell me if this is correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bewahn:
Can't say anything about sluggishness but I also have problems with wifi after waking up the device.

Seems to be caused by a hanging driver that needs to be resetted before wifi works again. If I disable and enable wifi manually it reconnects fast. Can you confirm that?

At the moment I'm trying to figure out what change introduced this problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
My tablet is constantly resetting when watching YouTube videos

It does it on a second or third video (2-3 minutes per clip)

As for the latest nightly - when waking up, the wifi isn't starting
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Yes I can confirm, if I go into settings shut it off then turn it back on it connects in a couple of seconds.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

If you wait a minute just let it sit will the wireless connect or does it not start at all?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Temaki:
I didn't have Wifi trouble with the last couple of nightlies until today's one.

Every now and then it drops connection and starts to reboot after two three times.

How are others experiencing this version?

Thanks to all who are doing this great job.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I have gone back to 5/4/12 version for now that one works very well and no wifi issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kryszan:
Is there any way to plug a keyboard and/or mouse? Or will there be sth like this in the future? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Wifi

I've reverted back to the previous kernel that was used for nightlies a few days ago. The next nightly should see the wifi return to its previous behaviour.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Brancaleone:
You mean - this device is "unbrickable"? :D

Good to know.

No more Mr-Nice-Guy ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
It didn't start
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
Can you elaborate?

how do you do it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I go into CWM I am running 5.0.2.7 I go to advanced wipe dalvik then back to main screen wipe cache (don't wipe data factory reset you will lose installed apps) then do an install zip. I didn't use to do this but I figured switching kernels I probably should.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
I did it with the lastest nightly

Still reboots in the middle of playing the second video

Wifi connects with no problem, after sleep looks like working normally
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Try the 5/4/12 May 4th version. I am not having any issues watching YouTube videos. Wi-Fi is really strong for me as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] digim:
Bluetooth mouse works

I tried Lenovo blue tooth mouse on A1. It works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
I have no problems with wifi strength

And I'm too lazy to revert to the stock ROM to check if it's not a device issue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
That's correct. The only way to brick it is to throw a brick at it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpo234:
Does this mean the warning from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23852341

is not longer valid?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drozda:
Well , it could be difficult to create proper boot SD card for most of the users.

So it's unbrickable but in some cases hard to recover without linux box and some knowledge.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Actually I meant the CM7 from May 4th.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I agree I looked at those instructions they are not very easy to follow.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
Graham, I don't know if it helps debug the problem but on my A1 using the 06/05/2012 build, the wifi issue only occurs if the tablet is running on battery. If it's connected to a charger the wifi behaves as usual/expected.

I have the wifi sleep policy set to never.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
Both 0504 and 0507 builds work fine for me

Actually, I'm thinking of testing the video on YouTube on a stock ROM

What software is best to backup all my current settings and installed applications so that I'll be able to restore them once I'm back to the CM7?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
I don't know if you're using the overclock feature but if you are it might be worth trying youtube either at stock or maybe just a lower max speed (say 1.1 Ghz) before you go to the trouble of reflashing back to a stock rom.

As far as backup is concerned, do a nandroid backup from CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Thanks - this is because when the charger is plugged in, the mmc controller doesn't get suspended when the screen goes off. When its running on battery, the mmc controller goes into suspend when the screen goes off, leading to the forced "removal" of the wifi controller.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
I'm not overclocking, just use it at the default settings
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Thanks - I've edited the warning in the kernel dev thread so that it mentions that you need a bootable SD card instead.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
BTW,

when my tablet sits in standby connected to power, it doesn't reboot

(I will do the test tomorrow too just to confirm it's consistent)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
You can use the free version of titanium backup to backup apps. Data just copy over to a pc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bjanice44:
nightly builds server

Anyone know what's going on with the nightlies server?. Getting a webpage not found.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I can't get there either.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bjanice44:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
I guess we'll have to wait till the morning

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Temaki:
It seems there are others with this morning ritual, to check for the newest nightly full of hope for a better day with a much better device.:):):)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] weini1:
Sound

When waking up the A1 there is a noise coming out of the speaker till I move sound button. The noise exists only working with battery. No noise when charging up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
If you are using DSP manager try shutting it off. The alternative is to turn on lock screen sounds those seem to be the two things that help that issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Looks like the nightlies server is gone. I understood that it was on a server that someone forgot to decommission - I imagine the server's owner spotted the large bandwidth usage and decided to shut it off.

I'll upload a current build to my www.doc.ic.ac.uk webpage when I get the opportunity to build it, and will update it as an when interesting changes are made - basically back to the old way of doing things as a temporary measure.

In the long term, does anyone have a spare linux server that could be used to build and host the nightlies? (it does take a hammering - I don't have recent stats since the nightlies were hosted by SpiegelEiXXL's server, but it was around 100GB per day when it was on my doc page).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
Someone probably went mad with the bandwidth :)

I'm on 0507 build

It did reboot in the standby during the nighttime and wifi went off

I couldn't get it on until rebooted

Will you want the last_kmsg?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
There's no such thing as too many last_kmsgs! :-)

Hi guys, I think I may have bricked my A1. I updated to the newest nightly build, but something must have gone wrong. I can still get into CWM, but my internal SD card won't mount. It just says Error mounting SD-CARD. Same if I try mounting emmc. Any ideas? Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Magnusmarshall:
Have you tried clearing cache and data?

when the device is on, go to the settings, cm settings and enable internal storage

(or are you referring to the external card?)
