Recent build

Since the build server is still up (just not the hosting one), I've taken last night's build and put it on the download page.

I've done some cursory testing of the wifi on this build, which seems to be in the pre-may 10th state (i.e. working as it was in the same way as the stock ROM, stably for most for a reasonable period of time), as everything wifi change-related was reverted yesterday. (shouldn't be black screens and other weirdness anymore).

If you found the May 10th onwards build to be more stable for you, you might want to stick with those builds instead. I'll still be working on making the wifi work properly, but only on a separate branch that won't go in the nightlies.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Excellent I am taking tomorrow off for a nice long weekend I will definitely try this one out. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] imritechere:
What download page are you referring to?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
The one that I linked to in the post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
So I installed about two hours ago. Too soon to judge battery life. System booted fine I have noticed on reboot or power on the wireless is always off with this version 05/04/12 did not have that issue for me. It works once I turn it on and I don't notice a difference in speed surfing the web.

I am Using ADW EX right now for a shell and I notice the text on icons seems to get a little funky restarting just the shell will fix it, didn't have that on the other version.

Overall it feels pretty smooth but I have noticed games seem a touch slower if you have ever tried alpha quadrant you can see the difference.

Pretty nice overall. I will try it for a couple of days and let you know if I notice anything else.

Another spontainious reboot. on 0524 build

A1 on charge, powered up on home screen. Wifi connected.

last_kmsg

After it had rebooted and settled down, it popped up that there where google play updates available, I've noticed it do the same thing a few times before, i.e. reboot and then display updates.

It might not mean anything but I thought I'd mention it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
I spoke too soon my wireless shut down and then would only error out. Then buttons (soft) stopped responding then the tablet locked up and wouldn't boot normally had to roll back. Very strange.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aswdv:
Updated from 20120507 nightly build to 0524, then wifi cannot turn on again if turned off by hand or by sleep. wifi can only turn on once for each boot.

Now flashed 0521 nightly, the problem does not happen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I must have failed to revert something correctly, or in time. Looking into it...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] imritechere:
05/24

I'm running the 05/24 and it seems to run real nice no issues at all
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
I can confirm, wifi works ok until it gets turned off. From then on it will not restart until I reboot the tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leejairo:
Where can I download?, the server it´s down!:confused::confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
From the download page.

The version I've just uploaded has the problem reported by jpisini et al with the wifi only being able to be turned on once fixed as it was in the pre-may 10th builds - should fix the issues seen with the 24th/25th nightlies.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
Help! :-)

How do I get my Internal SD card to show? I can see the external SD card either at /sdcard or /emmc depending on whether set "Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->Application-->Use Internal Storage" or not. But it seems internal storage is never mounted either way.

After lurking here since the beginning of this thread, I finally made the jump to CM7 last night by (in this order):

Booted into CWM 5.0.2.7rev3 recovery

Flashed "CWM 5.0.2.8 installer"

Flashed "Modified partition table installer" (I have 16gb model)

Reboot into CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery

Backed Up current (buggy) stock ROM

Did Wipe Data/Factory reset

Did Wipe of Cace and Dalvik cache and battery stats (just to be sure)

Flashed update-cm7-A1_07-2012-05-24_01-01-31.zip

Did Wipe Data/Factory reset

Reboot into CM7

I can see both internal and external in recovery, so I know the format and data is there.

I got each file (and verified MD5) from here:

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/

and:

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod/

What am I missing or what did I do wrong? How do I mount the internal SD card? (All my titanium backup files are on that thing! :-)

BTW, I can tell you, even with my issues (and known bugs), this CM7 is worlds crisper and more stable than the stock 2643 build.

Thanks in advance,

Todd

really appreciate your work, thank you, the tablet deserves a better system!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
I believe the missing internal storage issue is due to CWM 5.0.2.8

I would suggest reverting to 5.0.2.7
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
I don't see how recovery has anything to do with a normal boot, but I will try it. Oddly I can see both storage devices perfectly fine in 5.0.2.8, so it puzzles me why it wouldn't be visible when booting normally.

Either way, thanks for the tip, I will try it.

Todd
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
It is a known issue revert like mentioned storage will come back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
Ok, reverted...no dice. Should the checkbox be checked or not to see both internal and external?

EDIT: turned option on, rebooted recovery, cleared al caches, no dice. Turned option off, rebooted, cleared caches, no dice?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] barrielui:
To mount internal storage, try running this in emulator

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /emmc
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
It's actually the modified partition table that goes with 5028 that causes the mounting problem, so you need to revert the MBR as well. Sorry I can't squeeze in more detail now, but you might be able to find more info by searching this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
I can search. Thanks for the direction to go find it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
Thanks! This got me unstuck. I am good now (until I reboot).

cyanogenmod is not booting on my a1, i would like to try a different nightly, where can i find an older one?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
http://www.mediafire.com/?fwp9nf5xg1bdlel

This is the April 26th version it was the last one that didn't overwrite the kernel. If you are having trouble with new ones try this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
Before you revert, you should clear your caches in recovery...make sure you do Advanced-->Clear Dalvik cache in addition to the top level menu pick to format the cache partition. (Try it again even if you have already done it before.)

Hope that helps,

Todd
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flossemd:
I started here:

Kernel: 2.6.35.7 kevin@ubuntu#0 (is that stock?)

Build A107W0_A234_001_015_2525_GR (i've tried it with an ROW, too)

then i booted into cwm 5.0.2.7

then i wiped data/factory reset

then i wiped chache partition - to be shure

then i wiped dalvik in advanced

then i installed zip from sd - update-cw-7.2.0-RC0-A1_07-KANG-signed.zip

then i wiped data/factory reset

then i wiped chache partition

then i wiped dalvik in advanced

it still freezes at the silver lenovo bootimage

did i do sth wrong?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] buddn07:
Check the m5sum of the file you downloaded, otherwise try redownloading the zip.

I don't normally wipe after flashing, only before.

I generally wipe data > wipe cache > wipe davlik > flash cm > flash gapps > reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flossemd:
i've downloaded the update-cw-7.2.0-RC0-A1_07-KANG-signed.zip twice, same result.

Edit: downloaded an older version, it worked.

On 0526 build

My A1 rebooted again this morning and showed play store updates waiting when it had finished booting. I uploaded last-kmsg to dropbox and did the updates. Half way through I had another reboot, then while it was checking storage it rebooted again.

It finished settling down and 5 mins later rebooted again.

I manually rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted and a few mins later it rebooted again.

At this point I decided to do a factory reset.

It booted ok , I turned on wifi, and within 30 sec it rebooted again

It's just sat for 5 min and rebooted again. I let it reboot, plugged it into my laptop and copied last_kmsg over and it rebooted again.

Last 2 last_kmsgs

http://db.tt/EeeFYXOx

I'm going to try reverting to the 0510 build, and do another factory reset.

Edit: while typing this it's rebooted agin, it doesn't seem to be able to keep running for more than ~5 mins. Not a happy A1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
This build: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod/update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-A1_07-KANG-signed.zip

is the one I'd recommend right now - there's an inconsistency in the repositories that I need to fix up to stop this behaviour that makes it crash very easily in the nightlies. Will post when I've done that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
I'm back on 0510.

I'll stick with it for now, as it's seems to have been the most stable for while.

Thanks though, for all the time and effort you're putting into this.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
I have been running well for many days on nightly 5/24.

Although I am very happy, how soon would you predict you will fix the mounting problems with the internal sdcard when using the updated MBR?

EDIT: Or...update CWM recovery to not need the updated MBR and still backup the ramdisk? :-)

Thanks,

Another reboot, coming out of standby. 0525 build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
Is that the 25th May build from the nightlies on goo-inside.me or the 25 May build from http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod/ ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aswdv:
Flashed 25 May build from doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod

wifi works fine now.

Really appreciate your work, thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
I flashed from doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod as well about the 25th USA time. I had been running great without reboot (with a manual mount of internal SD card because I had also updated the MBR) up until yesterday when intentionally reboot the A1. It is still running great...but may not notice if I reboot now that I reverted my MBR. (I know, I can look at uptime.)

I have all kinds of crap running as well including Facebook, skype, google currents (highly recommended over pulse) and who knows what else. The only thing that might be a little odd is that I have installed or moved every app to be "on the phone"...so nothing is installed on "the SD Card".

I also have the CPU governor set to 1ghz max in the CM7 performance settings. (I can't remember, but I think I am using OnDemand)

Everything else I believe is set stock from CM7. I have noticed the WiFi or whole device must sleep sometimes. When I pick it up to use it, the sync double arrow lights up after about 1 second an stays that way for many minutes...which seems like correct behavior to me since I have excellent battery life.

Hope that helps someone debug...thank god I am they guy this time where things just work. It seem like I always end-up with the busted corner-case. :-)

Thanks TONS again for this CM7...it is very very worth changing from the stock ROM. Even with all my crap stuff running in the background this thing runs great now.

Wifi issue

I finally found some time to get the wifi working with the nightlies. It *should* be working as it does on stock from the next nightly onwards. (i.e. shouldn't be any sleeps of death, but will be the odd restart coming out of standby, as per stock).

The fix is thanks to Bewahn, who spotted my bad commit that caused the original issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bejay:
It's the build from http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
my a1 doesn't have them on 0510 build

BTW

I have a big problem typing text when my thumbs are on the black bezel (which is around the actual screen)

Every time I type a character, another character is typed with it.

Am I the only one with this issue? If not - how do you overcome it?

I use the stock CM7 keyboard
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I know - unfortunately that build causes lots of problems for other people. I still want to sort it out properly and get a version that's rock solid for everyone, but finding the time is really tricky.

I don't think it's a common problem - have you tried touch calibration?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
more than ones :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shil40:
Restart issue

As my observation, this issue might cause by I/O schedule.

whatever Stock or CM7 kernel, CFQ & Noop are only 2 options.

I always switch I/O schedule to Noop, and never get any abnormal restart.

If more schedule option could be added into kernel such as SIO & BFQ, we might find more interesting result? (BFQ is benefit on HQ video playing, which is A1's shortage.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rhay:
Still no camera fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Do you have a case? The back of the A1 flexes a lot and causes phantom presses doesn't happen with a case.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
...and my nipples are really sore this morning. Mostly it feels like I fell down the stairs on my ass. can you recompile the kernal to see if it helps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tron1911:
Concerning the ghost typing:

Same with me, but only since moving to cm7...

I have a similar issue with the right side of my screen(when in portrait mode). Randomly the touch is sensed in a spot where I'm not actually touching. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work well at all. This makes me think this is a software issue and not a hardware issue. I have also run the calibration and it still randomly happens.

I've read last 15 pages of this post...

Is upper version still recommended for now?

EDIT!

I already upgraded with version (link above). There's a HUUUGEE battery drain over night (35% in 7h, sleep with wifi policy off). Before there was a few %.

A I read this problem was noticed wih versions before...

And I'm still getting those strange "noises" from speaker (i tried to clear DSMP cache...)
