Dear gmarkall, thanks so much for this wonderful rom. Found some time this morning to flash your most recent version the first time and it works like a charm. The minor bugs you already posted don't bother me much because I am really impressed and happy for the real CyanogenMod-feeling on the A1. Thanks again and good luck for the future!

With greetings from Berlin,

Dirk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mistral84:
Hi gmarkall...first of all...thanks for your effort and thanks for this CM7...really appreciate...I installed it yesterday on my a1 without any problems and everything seems running smooth and well...I was just wondering if the OTG USB is still locked...after flashing the tablet, I tried to plug an usb drive with an usb otg cable but it didn't work...

thanks a lot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] glitterbox:
You sir are awesome!

I have Lenovo LePad A1 2Gb and had no problems installing this mod. It works nicely for the first glance, except for Wi-Fi which is utterly broken. It shows my network for a brief moment, then weird things happen and shortly after device reboots. Is there any hope for the Wi-Fi issues to be fixed?

After I restored backup device goes in continuous reboots.

By the way, hardware acceleration of video playback never worked for me on original firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I think this is the first report of such an issue with the wifi - it is semi-working for most people, in that it can be turned on and works until it is turned off again, but then cannot be turned on again. Can you send a logcat of when it reboots and the contents of /proc/last_kmsg after it reboots please?

Which version of CWM did you install? If you have 5.0.2.7, have you installed the stock-a1-ramdisk.zip after restoring your backup?

Thanks for adding this - I wasn't aware that it wasn't working on the stock firmware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tonyyeb:
Got my Ideapad A1 yesterday and so far I'm quite impressed with it. One thing I noticed was that whilst playing Angry Birds it doesn't seem as smooth as when playing on my phone or other devices I've tried. Is this resolved in the CyanogenMod build?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spiegeleixxl:
That looks interesting. That is the CM7 rom's last_kmsg and logcat, right?

If so, can you please post one from your stock system aswell?

Did installing the Clockwork Mod Recovery work thou?

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Hrrrm it seems smooth here. Maybe you're just used to the small format of your handdevices?

Does it have stocking movements across the screen when you scroll or anything "more" noticable?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tonyyeb:
No all other scrolling within Android seems fine. Just when you send a bird flying it isn't as smooth as what I'm used to. Maybe I'll do a video this weekend to show.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikelets456:
I am on build 20...I think. It's the build with the camera fix just after the internal SD card fix. It has been rock solid for 7 days with only 1 Wifi reboot. I was playing Angry birds HD last night with my daughter and it was smooth as butter. We played for 45 minutes with NO reboots. Actually a few force closes I had early on regarding the CM7 (Rev 20 build) are gone. Maps 5.2 works great, Wifi goes off when screen is off and goes on when screen is on. Battery life is awesome...I unplugged at 7:00 AM yesterday used on/off all day and was at 71% by 10:00 PM last night. I use "Juice defender", "spare parts". set cpu (1000/300 Mhz), titanium backup, etc.

Before CM7 I was not too happy with the A1. As time went on I got more and more reboots and was concerned. Now it's very stable...knock on wood.

EDIT: Also, LCD density is a must. I set to 185 seems to be the sweet spot for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tonyyeb:
Thanks for the info. I should have said that I am still on the stock build and I was just asking if the CM7 build had similar issues of non-smoothness in Angry Birds. I will at some point be changing to CM7 I think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nccruz:
thanks for the great ROM GMARKALL....

flashed 2643us and rooted with A1_rooter.zip as you suggested using CWM from sdcard...everything seems to work well but still testing... only hiccup is Amazon Appstore... seems not to get to login or myapps...

Maps 6.1.1 works with streetwiew.... have also backed up 2375 and 2643 with ROM...

Thanks again

So what do i do if i flash the CM7 and it continually cycles through the CM7 boot screen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Have you tried "Wipe data/factory reset" in CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] monsefito:
Hi, Gmarkall and thanks, thanks, thanks!

In the first time I tried to install it, i've found my tablet showing cyano's boot sequence all the time. That's it 'cause I don't wipe it.

Now i've started another blog in catalan, translating all the proces.

Thank you mate!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tedhrs:
That worked. Currently customizing

I noticed that when i put it in airplane mode and then turned on wifi, when clicked for it to scan it then proceeded to turn wifi back off. other than that, nothing quirky yet.

Also, how much trouble would it be to remove all things Cell phone related out of this? After all, it's only a wifi tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sinanju:
Gingerbread thinks everything is a phone. Even Honeycomb, which was intended only for tablets, still occasionally refers to tablet devices as phones. CM9, which is ICS-based, on my Touchpad is the first example I've seen that doesn't do that.

I just flashed clockwork, and grabbed cm7-a1-2012-02-25 and flashed it. After some intial wifi wonkiness it's solid now. I had to grab the google apps download as well. If you have any issues, the wiki is a great resource; wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Troubleshooting (I can't yet post a URL it seems)

Audio recording is indeed broken, tested with the built in sound recorder.

I have yet to test Skype.

Overall a super upgrade, a huge thanks making this happen!

Couple of things

Hey guys sorry if the following has been addressed, I haven't read the entire thread.

A couple of things I've come across.

1. The latest version of Google Nav still crashes the A1.

2. Google voice force closes and I'm guessing because of the phone apk it won't recognize my google voice number but does try to use my cell phone number.

3. It won't recognize the internal sd card only the installed ext sd card.

I'm using the latest nightly build 0225.

I'm using my A1 in a very unique way being installed in my dashboard of my car. It make for quite an entertainment center.

Other than the above the build seems pretty stable!! GREAT WORK!!!!

Thank you!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ehsangolpesar12:
Hi guys

I don't know if it's an implemented future in CM7 for a1 but some times the back light of capacitive butoms stays in dim mode and dosen't turn off completely, which is realy cool and needed future. But as it's not dim all time, I am note sure if there is any setting for that or not.

I'm on nightly v 18 feb. It's realy stable and the battery performance is realy good,

Im not sure if it's worth it to update to latest nightly

Juz a new user of android with A1

Hi..gmarkall .. thanks u so much for your development here...and i m so glad to see ur works and today i've flashed one of your nightly builds.

At first, i installed LCD density and applied some settings on my pad in stock.

today..after i flashed CM7, the very first issue's displaying small fonts and icons.

i installed lcd density again and it seems to be quite right .. but when i restart my pad, the fonts and icons ( in the home screen and Menu screen : not from Settings Page ) returned to so small . :( . how can i fix that ?

So much appreciations for your work here .. thanks ...

About the WIFI and Asphalt6

First of all ,Thanks for your hard work .The CM7 for A1 is awesome ...

I flash cm7-a1-2012-2-21.zip on my Lenovo A1 and happy with it some days ago ...

But after a time used , I find some problem in the CM7....

First is the Asphalt6 ,I install the apk ,then open it ,but it doesn't work ,it will crash.

And Second is the WIFI .Wifi goes off when screen is off ,but when screen is on I still can't turn on it ,After some times try ,it show " error". And then the pad is Reboot ...

I think it is a big problem ,because the A1 is only a pad with only WIFI ....

How long does it takes to make the WIFI stable work .....

Looking forword for you reply .

Thanks...

PS:I am from China ,my English is poor ...I am just regist in order can discuss with you direct ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milaq:
wifi should work fine (see first post caveat)

which kernel are you using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Google Maps crash

Some thoughts on the Google Maps crash:

The Maps crash is related to the sensor service trying to initialise the magnetometer, which doesn't exist. The last few frames of the stack:

#00 frameworks/base/services/sensorservice/SensorDevice.cpp:387
#01 frameworks/base/services/sensorservice/RotationVectorSensor.cpp:137
#02 frameworks/base/services/sensorservice/SensorService.cpp:330
#03 frameworks/base/services/sensorservice/SensorService.cpp:532
#04 frameworks/base/libs/gui/ISensorEventConnection.cpp:94

In RotationVectorSensor.cpp, when the RotationVectorSensor::activate method is called:

status_t RotationVectorSensor::activate(void* ident, bool enabled) {
mSensorDevice.activate(this, mAcc.getHandle(), enabled);
mSensorDevice.activate(this, mMag.getHandle(), enabled); // Stack frame #01
if (enabled) {
mMagTime = 0;
mAccTime = 0;
}
return NO_ERROR;
}

There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to disable the magnetometer through a #define in BoardConfig.mk. I'm currently thinking about the fix...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Google Maps update

After a bit of reading, I found that the RotationVectorSensor is a virtual sensor that is a composite of the accelerometer and magnetometer - since we don't have a magnetometer we shouldn't create a RotationVectorSensor in the initialisation of SensorService.

I'm just compiling a potential fix.

EDIT: The fix worked. I'll push it to Github tomorrow, and hopefully it will end up in tomorrow's nightly build.

i just pushed a few bits to an experimental branch for testing.

https://github.com/gmarkall/android...mmit/45d89a7982a88e0e3a42a4a227fcb24c5e2612ca

if the changes prove to be stable (already tested them a day with no problems) they will find their way into the main branch (read: for you to download) soon.

thx mate, but my question was aimed at Butteryfly450 ;)

but nevertheless, do you have problems with wifi too?

Simple2Ext works with this CM7/A1 ?

thx gmarkall (also ... Milaq, SpiegelEiXXL, Pati) for the CM7, now both my nexus one and ideapad a1 get the cyanogenmod in the heart.

Want to ask whether it's possible to use simple2ext to make sure my external sd spacing for apps installaion ?

p.s. In lenovomobile forum (CN), there is a way to re-partition the Android Partitions, I was failed with this way with CWM recovery (people say it works with stock recovery) but keep my eyes on it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hkbennyboy:
Thanks gmarkall and all other talent afford.

Glad to see the device supported by CM7

wifi will disconnect when the screen off, is it normal?

besides, the device reboot periodically (around 10mins), any log or record can help to find and solve the problem?

Thanks

27 Feb build

Last night's build went off smoothly, except that I didn't get round to re-running extract-files.sh before the build commenced. This was required for that build, so there might be some weirdness with it.

I'll make sure I get extract-files.sh run in time for tonight's build. In the meantime, please don't report bugs with the 27th Feb build because they could be spurious issues.

Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kryszan:

The vold.fstab change was merged two weeks ago. The internal and external SD card should be swapped using Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Application -> Use Internal Storage.

Hi,

I've been testing and what I've found is that we can see one, and only one of the sdcards. When we set the cyanogen apps storage options to inernal, wwe can see that. When we don't, we only see the ext-sdcard.

I hope this will help for fixing.

Now... if I'd like to flash newer version (eg. tommorow), have I to wipe cache again and again?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikelets456:
Did you try an older CM7 A1 build? Clear cache/Data/Dalvik and install the (17...camera fix) version. I have used this for almost 12 days with only one reboot. It is stable as can be..I can read the SD cards both internal and external. Camera works, Tango works, etc, etc, etc.

However, I had to wipe data,etc 3-4 times before everything stabilized. Good luck and it's worth giving it a try. Also, WIFI comes on instantly when the screen comes on and battery life gets better each day...which I find kind of weird.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mucho79:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] milaq:
no need to wipe data/cache.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I'm afraid that I have deleted them and didn't keep a copy. I'm very pushed for space on the server I'm using and couldn't afford to store many days' builds. The only way is going to be if someone else has kept a copy and can upload it.

Fortunately SpiegelEiXXL has set up hosting for us on a much bigger server, where we should be able to keep more than just a couple of nights' builds. I've not yet had the chance to put this into production, but we should be using it shortly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Tonight's build

I re-ran extract-files.sh on the build server in time for tonight's build. This means that it should come exactly as Milaq intended with all his fixes for codecs and audio etc.

I've not yet got the Google Maps fix merged yet. The change had to be made in frameworks/base, which is a fairly fast-changing repository in Cyanogenmod, and to have our own fork of it would require extra effort merging things in from CM every day. As an alternative, we're going to compile a fixed libsensorservice.so from it and include that as a binary blob in the device/lenovo/A1_07 repository. I could make this change and merge it quickly, but I'm not comfortable doing that without building it myself and testing it first.
