Nope, no CM7

You installed 2575 and 2673. Where should CM7 come from?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akulp:
Hi,

one more question.

I installed CifsManager and when I try to mount a share i get this error:

"No such device".

A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.

I don't understand this problem...is maybe something in kernel or have I made a mistake somewhere? Is there any option in ROM settings which I have to turn on?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nccruz:
Now I am really confused... I show CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7.... is that not CWM 7?

Thanks....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jouwheld:
Cwm is clockworkmod used to backup and flash updates

Cm7 is cyanogenmod what is a actual rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amjl2000:
The accelerometer lock switch.

I have rarely used it. When I did try to use it, it didn't really work. There are reports that it was bugged in the lenovo roms (something about when locked in landscape and the menu button was hit, the screen would go into portrait and remain there).

If it is a complicated bit to fix (noticing that it hasn't been looked at in detail yet?), could it be simpler to assign the switch as an 'orientation toggle'? so position A for landscape, position B for portrait.

Just a suggestion that's all :)

Still impressed with all the work guys!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] barrielui:
No

CWM recovery stands for ClockWork Mod recovery. It is used to flash ROM

CM7, which is not CWM7, stands for CyanogenMod 7, is this ROM

You need to install the ROM in the recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
It's a nice suggestion - I'm not sure how much work it would be to implement - I guess we'd have to have a setting in the settings menu to turn that behaviour on and off. Anyone else like this idea?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I do use the lock switch very handy when reading on the train. The bumps cause the screen to rotate. I could see a real use for an a/b type switch as.long as the apps followed it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] barrielui:
Try putting toggle orientation on notification drawer. ;)

GPS issues

I'm pretty sure this isn't date bug related (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm on 8March build, and my GPS doesn't pick up any satellites. On stock2643, with the A1 in the same physical location I was able to get a 7/7 Sat lock in under 20 seconds. GPS data has been downloaded, I checked.

Is it just me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I have never noticed that setting where is it located?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kojoebc:
Like it. + it would be nice to see lockscreen in landscape mode....

Nice work done here...

One more aobut CifsManager.

I followed this one:

But I still get error:

Did someone use CifsManager?

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] J_T:
AFAIK, there is not a cifs.ko that works with the A1. I'd also love to have this.

Do i only need to flash this, or after that cwm 5.0.2.7?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9001 mit Tapatalk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I'm fairly sure you need to flash cwm 5.0.2.7 as well, because 5.0.2.8 will complain when it can't find the extra partitions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mikelets456:
Or you can install an app from the market called "auto rotate" and it can be turned off/on from the "icon bar". Works well turning landscape "on/off".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] akulp:
Eh...thanks for the answer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amjl2000:
I have now tried a few 'auto-rotate' apps - they just toggle the setting to turn auto-rotate on or off. When I turn off auto-rotate, the screen defaults back to portrait regardless of what orientation it was in before. So it's a bit fail really.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] barrielui:
sorry for answering so late, because I don't have the device on my hand. if I remember correctly, settings for notification drawer Widgets is in CyanogenMod Settings

Accelerometer switch thoughts

I noticed whilst examining /debug/gpio, that the accelerometer switch is connected to GPIO 161. When the switch is in the lock position, GPIO 161 is low.

I also notice that the status of the switch is reflected in /sys/devices/virtual/switch/Gensor_IRQ - not sure why it has this name though!

Whenever I reboot or start A1, the Wifi is always off. Are there any setup to make it always on?

...Hi,

Im trying to build my own bootanimation and something doesn't work.

I think I'm doing it Ok: folders, desc... etc

Someone could help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tinybeetle:
If this is about the A1, your question would probably make more sense here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355319. This forum thread is about CM7 for the A1.

I have built a few boot animations for my A1. The standard steps found elsewhere on XDA worked fine for me.

You need to put your animation in \system\media. In the zip I used the same folder structure the A1 used originally and started with part1 as the image folder instead of the standard part0. In my part1 folder I have 000001.png - 000104.png.

My desc.txt reads:

600 1024 25

p 0 0 part1

25 frames per second was probably a bit ambitious as was my image size, I get stuttering. But it does work. An earlier one I build used a smaller image size and a frame rate of 15. That was much smoother.

Make sure you are not compressing your zip file at all. Your zip must store only.

Hope this helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] monsefito:
thanks tinybeqtle for your answer... I was tring the built with the steps of many xda thread. Now I've found what it means store zip...

sorry about that and thanks.

NC Tether don't work

Hi...

for same reason "NC Tether" don't work on CM7 (cm7-a1-2012-03-10.zip); it was working fine with factory ROM.

Really useful application to tethering over bluetooth.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milaq:
why dont you tether over wifi then? ;)

bt tethering is old, slow and deprecated
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sinanju:
I'm glad you find it useful. Unfortunately, I no longer have an A1 (nor do I have my refund check from Lenovo, but that's a different story), so I can't debug it. Can you describe the behaviour of the widget when you an attempt a connection and can you send me the logcat of an attempt? If you don't know how to gather the logcat yourself, check the market for an app that will do so for you... this for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat

It's probably best to PM me since this issue is really off-topic for this thread.

BT tethering is, most importantly, better on battery life for both the tablet and phone than WiFi.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hd2509:
"NC Tether" don't work on CM7

Attached the log...

Steps

1 - Disable the wireless

2 - Active Bluetooth in the tablet and in the phone.

3 - Active navigation data in the phone.

4 - Active the widget NC Tether

4.1- NC Tether request permission of super user

4.2 Short time after the connection indicator is green. At the same time the tablet up the option of "Tethering & portable hotspot" in the status bar, this is rare ...

5 In the same time the phone up the option of "Tethering & portable hotspot" in the status bar, this is ok...

6 - Then run the browser in the table to test ... and no internet access !!!

thank you for the help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Whayle:
Bluetooth

Are there any outstanding issues with Bluetooth? Where can I find out? (sorry if I missed this info)

My A1 will work for a good while on WIFI and Buetooth (hour or two), and then reboot whenever I bring it out of sleep. After that it will reboot whenever I turn on my BT device...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sinanju:
There doesn't seem to be anything surprising in the logcat. Perhaps the browser is checking for a proper internet connection, which it won't find... BT tethering won't register with that check. Try Opera and let me know what happens.

I noticed a strange problem with Android keyboard included in CM7.

Sometimes keys act strange, especially when tapping BCKSPC button. Instead of erasing the text, the letter L or P (depending on the language you're using) shows up. These are the letters located above the BCKSPC button... but I'm sure it's not about my fingers being so large :) My girlfriend has the same problem.

Anyway, this only happens when tablet is in portrait position. Once you turn it to landscape position, the problem disappears. When you turn it back to portrait position, the problem is still there...

thx!

100 days of willful non-compliance with the GPL

Speaking of which...

I thought I'd mention that Wednesday will mark 100 days since I called Lenovo to request the source code.

In return I received case number WN431741 and, shortly after that, a call from Lenovo in North Carolina. That day I posted "I got a call back from a Customer Advocate in NC. Seems like a nice guy, but not sure about the technology. We'll see what happens" in the Lenovo forum source code thread.

I thought I'd mention it in case anyone wanted to plan a 'celebration'. Considering how quiet Mr. Hopkins (aka Mark_Lenovo, aka @lenovoforums) has become, its as good a reason as any to remind him you're still waiting...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tinybeetle:

I have my internal SD not being auto-mounted either, using CWM 5.0.2.8 since @gmarkall suggested that on his page if you want to be able to get back to stock ROM.

So what do I do from here? Since CWM modified the MBR, I don't think I can just wing it and put CWM5027 on it?

Any help would be appreciated - CM looks GREAT so far, I'd hate to have to live without it again..

Edit: I know my way around in Android/Linux, so I wouldn't mind changing an mtab/fstab/init-script. Maybe that's the easiest way to go about it?

THANK YOU!

I just wanted to take the time to write and say, "thank you," Gmarkall, on behalf of myself and all the rest of us who picked up this tablet because it was a great little device at a great price. Some of the shortcomings of it (the wifi and restart issues) have been bothering a lot of us for a long time, and I was worried that, because it didn't become as popular a tablet, no one would bother to work on it.

You have our undying gratitude for breathing some new life into our tablets. Keep up the good work! I hope more people continue to work on the project and I hope to eventually see a serving of Ice Cream Sandwich make it to the A1!

Thanks again!

~Walter
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Thanks for your kind words. I must add that the reason that a lot of things are working are down to Milaq's contributions, and also some important fixes from Pati- for the SD card and fixing the original reboot issue.

Hopefully we will see ICS and/or CM9 builds for the A1 - the brakes are currently on this without a working kernel source.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wingzfly:
Huge thanks to Milaq and Pati too, and everyone else involved. I wish Lenovo would just release the kernel source. We're far more inclined to shop from companies that are responsive on things like this. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wlmak:
which version of kernal using in nightly build? 2643?

Thx for reply
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
No kernel is included, it just uses whichever one you already have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milaq:
depends on from what version of the stock rom you're coming. none included in the update.zip atm.

personally i use 2643.

when proper kernel sources are released, we will most likely include our own custom kernel in the update package.

cheers

EDIT: just a tad too late :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] W0nk0:
Thanks! I looked 7 or 8 pages back and didn't see it - now that I looked again I found it, I think I missed the one page I needed to see :(. But yes, thanks! I hope I read the post right in thinking I need to install the stock MBR and then 5027 CWM..

Also, I managed to get the SD mounted within the CWM 5028 with an init.d script. Not sure if that will do what I need for now or if I will need to use the MBR reinstall.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amjl2000:
Does this mean that the nightly build releases are automated and that nothing is changing at the moment? Or just tiny improvements here and there... no problems, just want to understand :)

As for my GPS issues, I went back to my 2643 backup yesterday for something, and the gps didn't work there either (it did before). Very strange. Maybe the solar activity the other week burnt my chip :(

[edit]

[embarrassment]

found the case of the issue: impatience. After first lock (eventually), subsequent locks around 10 seconds (even after reboot). [/embarrassment]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
When I said about "the brakes on this", I only meant for Ice Cream Sandwich. There are some changes being made occasionally to the CM7 source - see https://github.com/gmarkall/android_device_ideapad_a1/commits/gingerbread/ to figure out what changes are going into the nightlies.

Turning on unlock sound should solve this.

At my A1 with unlocksound activeded the noise is still there but after unlocking the A1 the noise disappears.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milaq:
yup, that partly eliminates the issue.

nevertheless, whenever a sound is routed through the speaker, the static noise reappears, but vanishes when the speaker stream times out (3-4 secs).

i had the idea of reducing the "keep-speaker-buffer-open-delay" to zero, which would eliminate the fuzzing sound (even in standby from time to time).

i have exams coming up tomorrow, but i have a look into that issue more deeply once i have more spare time available (read: probably this weekend).
