ok, this seems fine by now... well I am not a dev so could not direct help, but try by post several threads in other forums in order to try to call other FlipSide users and may be Devs that may help to set this Rom to full.

Hope that lucky we may get some additional help to come.

Best regards and please keep the good work.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
Well... I tried your new release...

And everything works... except the phone for me

I can't call out... nor can I receive phone calls...

When I try... it reboots the phone...

That is the only thing keeping this from being my everyday ROM
[Flipside General] halsparks89:
i was having the same problem as well, mine included the market place too since i installed gapps... i kept messing around with different settings and finally found a solution...

in the settings under wireless and networks go to mobile network settings and change the network preferences to "gsm only" for some reason this beta version doesnt like wcdma yet... which kinda sucks cause you can only get edge that way and no hspda or 3g.. but i was able to make phone calls and download apps after changing that setting..

on another note everything works AWESOME the only problem other than that that ive had is when i changed my ringtones from the default to a custom mp3 or something other than what it comes set at default it doesnt ring anymore when i receive texts or calls... but vibrate mode works just fine which doesnt bother me for now! I'm just so excited to finally see some development on such a neglected device.. i was started ti lose hope and was just gonna let the phone meet the brick wall... i always thought it was odd that nothing was going on with this phone when its more powerful than the original Motorola Droid which was my first android device and its seeing ICS ports... hmm.. ICS ports just something for you guys to chew on.. i will keep playing with stuff on this beta and let you guys know if i find any other bugs!!!!

KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!!!!!!:D
[Flipside General] rignfool:
I have been in contact with laidaxin via pm... he says he knows what's wrong and is working on it...

Now if we could only get CWM to unmount system....
[Flipside General] rignfool:
Is it bad that I obsessively check this forum for laidaxin's next release?
[Flipside General] halsparks89:
lmao no.. i've been doing the exact same thing... im OBSESSED:eek:
[Flipside General] bakageta:
You guys aren't the only ones... :P The lack of dev support is honestly the only thing I dislike about the flipside, and it seems like we're well on the way to having a usable rom.
[Flipside General] xaser66:
Lol!!!... :-D

Yep... You are not alone, same by me.... I evolve to really appreciate my Flip, since by now is long time that it is serving me faithfully.... really wish and deserve a much better rom for so reliable hardware.

Best regards!
[Flipside General] rignfool:
To hell with it...

I'm gonna stick with CM7 for now...

Let's see how many reboots I get today
[Flipside General] halsparks89:
If you change the settings how I mentioned prior you won't have any reboots
[Flipside General] telegraph0000:
so...even though op says it's finished...it's not quite there yet, right? No 3g..? Hmmm....
[Flipside General] xaser66:
Hi!

Well, sadly I dont know how to help You better but I would like to share with you a trick that save me an XT 720 time ago when I got it bricked and the battery drained...

In such case and since I didnt have an external battery charger, I then test by using an usb cable, cut the female end, and split the wires... tehn I indetify the (+) and (-) leads and using duct tape I firmly stick the wires to the proper connectors on my battery and leave it connected around 15 min, and was maintain touching the battery to be sure that not heat too much... in that way I got my battery recharged and later I found a way to unbrick it...

So, I only share the trick if may be usefull since by the awful moto way of things in this details in some models if the phone is brick it tends to refuse to charge the battery in the normal way...

Good luck in unbrick your phone and best regards!...

Questions and battery recharge suggestion

Question about the Android Market/Google Play Store: When I installed this CM7.2 onto my flipside, I discovered there is no Market or Play Store. Was this an oversight or intentionally left out, or did I do something wrong? When I try to install any version of the Market or Play Store, either they won't load at all and force close (Market), or load, run, and browse, but when I try to actually download and install anything, they force close immediately and then won't restart (Play Store). Is there a fix for this?

There are a number of applications that don't work right with mine (or stop working after a while), and I'm not sure if it's something wrong with my phone or a bug with CM7.2. Being unable to use the Market/Play Store makes things harder to diagnose as I have to downloadk APK files to the SDcard and then install them from there.

Also, the Wi-Fi Hotspot doesn't work properly, it gives an error and doesn't work. Is this a known issue or is there just something wrong with mine?

For those whose batteries have discharged too far and are now stuck in the bootloader low battery situation, if you can find a phone or device that uses a similar sized battery contact (and uses a similar voltage battery), it's a simple matter to connect the battery up and let it charge in the other device. I found that the Droid X battery contacts are the same as the Flipside, it just uses a much bigger battery. With a little ingenuity I was able to hold the battery in contact long enough to get fully charged so that I could unbrick my Flipside. Maybe others will have equal success with other devices.
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
you should install gapps for CM7, it includes Playstore. And the specs said that MB508 don't have wifi hotspot :D
[Flipside General] jovanphilip:
It's not an issue with holding charge (at least I don't think it is). When I plug it into the charger, it turns on and from there I can go to the bootloader. From the bootloader (or any time I plug it into the charger and it turns on) I can unplug it and it will remain on. It's ONLY when I plug it into the PC that it switches off immediately and refuses to turn on again until I plug the charger back in.

At either rate, I carried it into the store from which I bought it as my warranty still has 3 months remaining. Since they likely don't have the technical means to verify that I tampered with the software, they'll either return it to me fully repaired (unlikely) or give me a new flipside or another phone worth the same value.

When/If I get a new flipside, I'll donate it to one of the devs here on the forum for development. I've had my eyes on the galaxy nexus. :D

Everyone wins in the end.
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Flash this ;) http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

And if you want a newer Google talk (think it comes with video chat), flash the above, then this on top: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip

No wifi hotspot/tethering is probably an issue with the ROM port.. I'll have to look into it when I get home
[Flipside General] isalandr:
Thanks for the quick responses. I really appreciate the help.

Please forgive my newness to all of this, but I'm not sure what you mean by flashing those two files. I got used to supporting Android on my old Tilt (that was an adventure). This is my first foray into aftermarket software on my Flipside. I had more than enough trouble learning how to flash CM7.2 onto the thing in the first place. Especially when I ran into that dead battery issue. I thought I'd bricked the phone for good.

What's the recommended method to use the two files you listed? Do I open them in RSDLite, or unpack them onto the phone's SDCard somewhere?
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Copy them to the SD card and flash using recovery the same way you flashed the CM7 ROM package :)
[Flipside General] isalandr:
Thank you! That worked like a charm! the Market/Play Store is now functioning as it should.
[Flipside General] isalandr:
Flipside keyboard question

Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, or the right thread I mean, but here goes anyway. So the CM7.2 keyboard map has the symbol key opening the input device menu, which only has the one keyboard entry. But this means that now I don't have access to the symbols like I used to. How do I change that? I really miss the symbols menu, and for certain daily tasks (like certain passwords), I genuinely need them. How do I get them back? Is there another keyboard keymap I can install?
[Flipside General] mustafu:
Does 3G work in the latest release? I've had enough with the stock ROM and want to give this a try. Thanks in advance.
[Flipside General] zizoux2:
Only EDGE

Buddy, in CM7.2 RC1 120526 only EDGE works.
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
No, 3G itself works fine. Just calling with it enabled has problems
[Flipside General] jovanphilip:
I don't think so. When I tested the ROM, I didn't have to disable 3G, and phone calls worked as usual. I didn't get 3G working of course. I was confused because I read that this had to be disabled to make calls, but it worked just fine for me.
[Flipside General] zizoux2:
I'll try flashing again

I did flash RC1 120526 twice and only can see EDGE connection.

I'll try flashing again
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Maybe something to do with a different country/carrier then? Works fine for me on AT&T.. just no calling with it enabled
[Flipside General] mustafu:
Thanks for the responses. As long as I can at least switch to EDGE only, I think I'll be OK. Hopefully EDGE speeds aren't terrible. I use my Flipside on Straight Talk (ATT MVNO). Sadly, the stock Froyo ROM is so terrible, I would rather use CM7 on EDGE than that with working 3G.
[Flipside General] jovanphilip:
EDGE speeds are unbearable for me lol. I'd rather switch back to Froyo with 3G. :D
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Open source components (including the kernel) have been released: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mb508.motorola/files/Flipside/

Might try some stuff out tonight, but won't have access to the phone for testing until tomorrow
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
I give up trying to do anything for this horrid phone & the company that "supports" it.

I'll help out a bit with CM9, other then that I'm just done
[Flipside General] mustafu:
Unfortunate but understandable. Wasn't the kernel source the last missing piece of the puzzle to squash the last few bugs with the CM7 port?
[Flipside General] jorgerivera:
Open issues?

Hi guys,

I'm very happy to find this thread! A big thanks to all the devs involved in making this happen!

One small question:

Do you have a list of open known issues for this ROM?
[Flipside General] WinSuk:
Maybe.. my idea was to see how the kernel works so the ROM can be adapted to it.. I'm not really skilled enough for that though.

The source release is pretty sloppy... most of the packages are .rar renamed to .tgz (wtf?), and the kernel won't even build (which looks like it was on purpose)
[Flipside General] cyber72589:
I need help!!

Everytime i open Google Playstore it asks me for a account and when i go to settings to make one i can only make a exchange account....how can i fix this problem?

Im new at this sorry :/

see you
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
i have read this information from Laidaxin's forum :

Does that mean we can use 3G 2100MHz on Flipside ????
[Flipside General] zizoux2:
when received incoming calls, phone reboot ?

First thanks, i flash "defy baseband switcher" like you did.

Question, when received incoming calls, phone reboot ?
[Flipside General] mustafu:
According to this site, there seems to be a newer version available, dated 6/19:

http://www.591fan.com/forum-76-1.html

Google Translate is terrible, and it seems to need a 'Reading Access 10', whatever that is. Any way this newer release can make it over here, I wonder?
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
here is link : http://115.com/file/e785sovq
[Flipside General] mustafu:
Thanks very much!
[Flipside General] jorgerivera:
Hey, thanks man! Did you find any info on what is new (or fixed) on this version?
[Flipside General] jorgerivera:
OK, I went for it and tried the version labeled "7-20120619". Before this, I had the one labeled "7.2.0-RC1".

So far, I have seen the following improvements:

1. Camcorder works for me now.

2. Localization has been fixed for Spare Parts. (It was in Chinese when I had English selected as my language.)

Issues that still happen:

3. Calling with 3G enabled reboots phone. (I'm trying it on a 850MHz network in Costa Rica. 2G network works fine.)

4. FM radio app is Chinese-only.

New issues:

5. It used to have a Spanish localization, but maybe this is just a nightly-style release and it makes sense to reduce locales during tests.

I'm glad that progress is being made!

@laidaxin: if you need help testing, just let me know!
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
the 3g still not work but the 2G, EDGE work more stable, the GPS is also more stable. The wifi hotspot perhaps work :good:

keyboard symbols mapped wrong

Hi,

I just flashed the ROM and I seem to have a problem with the physical keyboard's symbols. The letters and anything in white work fine, but when I push the Fn key and try to type a number or symbol, they come out weird. None are correctly mapped.

for example, pushing Fn+T(which should insert 5) it creates a +

any help on this?

In addition, pushing the SYM key will not give me a list of symbols, but rather a prompt for the input method.

I didnt notice these bugs being discussed, so I thought I'd share

Thanks!
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Yep, exact same issues here with the 6/19 build, wiped data/cache and reflashed just in case and same results. Oh well, going back to the previous build.
[Flipside General] gagdude:
Like bakageta, I decided to flash an older build. To be exact, the 5/26 RC1. The SYM key still brings up the input menu prompt, but frankly, with the function keys working again, I dont care whatsoever.

In addition, I dont notice many differences between the two, so theres not much loss.

I would like to point out this small bug that I really don't think anyone cares about, but in landscape, the status bar is a hassle to pull back up once its down. *shrugs*

But I just wanted to say WOW! I bought this phone used (at $20 :D) to hold off until I can get a better phone during the winter of this year. Coming from a Moto Cliq, I feel like I have a superphone right now, especially with Cyanogenmod7.2! Before I bought this, my biggest concern was dev support and whereas the CLIQ is officially supported by Cyanogen, this is not. But who needs official support when you've got laidaxin? Besides, the stable release of CM7.2 had a fatal error on my Cliq, forcing me to use another dev's CM7.1 and the only big problem here is no 3G+Calling. Not that it matters since I never use data, I'm around wifi 90% of the time.

Thank you again, Froyo, Motoblur, and extreme lack of internal memory was killing me for a few days when I first got this, but this ROM and Link2SD has made it so much better.
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
Download the Fix keyboard.rar, extract, copy two file : sholes-keypad.kcm and umts_sage-keypad.kcm to sdcard

On phone, use Root Explorer to copy that files to system/usr/keychars and set all permissions.
[Flipside General] gagdude:
Yeah I thought it had something to do with those .kcm files, I just didn't how I should edit them... by now I flashed an older build, but I would like to try your method. The problem is, I don't seem to have a recovery...?

When I go to power menu, reboot, then recovery, its stuck on motorola logo and I have to yank the battery. When I power up holding down the x, I go to the STOCK android recovery (eeek). I attempted to flash use one of the custom recoveries for the flipout on eclair (which worked on stock froyo) it said successful but I still got stock recovery.
[Flipside General] phapsubongtoi:
you should choose Reboot--->bootmenu ;)
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Our recovery doesn't actually replace the stock one, it hijacks the boot process. You need to reboot the phone and watch for the notification led to light up, then hit the volume down button. It should still be on the red M boot logo at that point, the screen should dim slightly just as the led lights up. From there, you're in the boot menu, and can pick recovery > stable recovery.

hi..... so..... you´re running cm7.... works well?..... do you have any bugs?.... is it true that it reboots a lot?......

can you tell me if this rom is a good choice????
[Flipside General] supernewbdev:
This rom is the only option for this phone to be even semi usable. I also use link2sd so I have space for apps. The rebooting problem is fixed by going into settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>use only 2g networks. the only other bugs ive noticed are the symbol key on the device keyboard gives select input method, and mobile data connection is disconnected while on a phone call. but even with these slight bugs, it runs so much smoother than on the stock rom. I usually have 300+ mb ram when I have disabled surface dithering and enable purging of assets and I have no apps running
[Flipside General] oskrferbr:
ok.... i´ve found it... a link in "mediafire" for the last release.....

Anyone else have problems with the screen coming back on when you take it down from your ear?

I think the proximity sensor isn't waking the screen up?
[Flipside General] rignfool:
Ok... to you guys with more experience than me....

I was reading my build.prop file and noticed that umts(3G) requires a libril-moto-umts-1.so

Wondering if maybe we have a ****ty copy of it in our /system/lib/ directory and that's what is causing the reboots?

So maybe if we pull the one out of the defy tree we can fix it that way?

If not... anyone know where I could find instructions on how to fix it?

Ditto on the sensors since they still ain't working 100%
[Flipside General] bakageta:
So, I realized that the bootmenu and cwm recovery using in this CM7 build were newer than the one in the other thread, I extracted them and replaced my recovery with this one and was able to nandroid restore, so I wiped and installed CM7.

My initial thoughts:

Haptic feedback settings for hardware buttons don't take effect until after a reboot. I initially thought they were broken altogether, but rebooting put them to the values I had set. Stock levels are entirely too low, IMO, it's really not noticeable.

I'm having problems with Better Terminal Emulator Pro and the hardware keyboard. In text messaging and such, the function key layer works as expected, but in BTEP function does nothing, making it impossible to get to several key characters. In the stock rom, there were no problems with BTEP, and I've tried both a fresh reinstall from the market as well as restoring my previous working copy from Titanium Backup.

On the first couple of boots, the wifi hotspot ongoing status wouldn't go away, then it randomly stopped showing up... *shrugs*

The rotation sensor seems overly sensitive, it will flip the screen at the strangest moments on me.

Was the stock CM7 code changed for the lockscreen? I seem to recall the option to unlock on trackball in CM7 on my dream, but that's been replaced by unlock with menu here. Any chance to get both included? I dislike using the capacitive keys for unlocking, having the hardward button to unlock has always been my preference.

I have yet to test GPS, something I use regularly, but navigation didn't immediately crash, so that's a good sign. I didn't want to take a trip outside to see if it'd sync up, but I'll report back on that after my next trip out.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
I have issues with GPS... it doesn't fix fast enough to be able to use navigation...

However... I installed a stable release on my buddy's atrix and the results are the same as on my flipside...

I assumed it was a cyanogenmod issue... and if you tell me it worked fine on your dream... then I will assume its a cyanogen+motorola issue
[Flipside General] halsparks89:
Has anyone heard from laidaxin on the estimated arrival of the next release? I've been sitting here chewing my nails down to the nub wondering what's going on... just curious about an update on progress :):confused:
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Other than the dream being too slow of a phone, navigation worked properly, the gps signal sync'd up pretty reasonably and such. CM7 on my friend's Nexus had no navigation issues either, so it's not a CM-specific bug.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
As far as I can tell... via PM... he's almost given up... he was talking about uploading his source so others could help...

I'm not sure if he's stumped or what... I'm waiting to see it... though I don't know how much help I'll be

And... don't forget... the first rule of CM... don't ask for ETAs
[Flipside General] halsparks89:
Wasn't asking for an eta lol just the progress
[Flipside General] bakageta:

[Flipside General] bakageta:
Having yet another bug, and this one is critical enough that I'm probably going to be going back to stock if no one has a workaround... :( For some reason, my notification sound doesn't play for new notifications if the screen is off, and then as soon as I get to the lock screen it will play them. Since I don't check my phone unless it's made noise or I need to see the time, I've missed a ton of texts to this.
