HI Alex,

thank you. I didn't know about Satfix before going to CM9. Now it looks better (just testet next to window). Tomorrow I'll try out outside.

Just a question: Am I "not allowed" to disable GPS because I could break GPS again, or may I disable it?

Yes I flashed gapps. This time I did it again, but still no gmail (yes, only gmail is missing). Hm?

[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Iirc, gmail is not included in the Google Apps, you need to install it from the Market.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
GMail is there as well. Quote from gapps page on CM wiki:

"These apps include Gmail, Maps, and the Android Market, just to name a few."
[HTC ChaCha] arvinivra:
waiting for new release

thanks for your awsome rom
[HTC ChaCha] Eyes-Killer:
Well... there is no gmail (see screenshot Screenshot_2012-08-05-23-45-32.png). But Maps were not there by default and I had to install from market.

@adis.xda:

I cannot find gmail, even I scrolled down and tried with "google mail" and "google gmail". But I was able to find and install google maps. See search result in screenshot Screenshot_2012-08-05-23-46-02.png.

So... how did you find gmail in market? Maybe there are apk-file I could download and install directly?

It's the market link for gmail.

I can find it from my chacha. Try to see which error gives when you go there from your computer and try to install it to the chacha.
[HTC ChaCha] Eyes-Killer:
Thank you... well I tried on my chacha and it tells gmail is not available for my country (Germany!). :-O

[HTC ChaCha] raymerjacque:
just use gmail in opera browser, works like a charm and will save on battery...
[HTC ChaCha] dapaua:
I sent you a private message with the apk. You can try that.
[HTC ChaCha] malikou:
Gmail

after installing GAPPS, I have not found gmail,and that it was impossible to install from google play so here is the apk installed successfully

sorry for my english .hope that can help someone
[HTC ChaCha] Eyes-Killer:
Hi Malikou & Dapaua,

thank you you provided me gmail apk file. Now at last my ChaCha has gmail app. :good:

raymerjacque:

I know I could just use browser but I still need notification if new mail comes. But its resolved now.

I like CM9 more and more. Just 2 issues is annoying (every issue else doesn't bother me (e.g. I don't need front cam) since they're nice to have for me):

- I often lost network (UMTS) so I have turn off and on again. This is annoying because I don't know when I'm not reachable by email then (working as administrator so mobile emails is essential for me.) Maybe someone know, when exactly this happens.

- I have 3 different places with wlan. Every wlan-network have different ssid/wpa2-key. If I enter another wlan-network, I have to turn off and on wlan in order to get online by wlan. I think this is because wlan scanning is not working, which is a know issue.

@adlx.xda:

I'm a software developer (unfortunatelly not in Java/Android), but do you think I could help you at debugging? I could collect some datas and provides them you if you need.

[HTC ChaCha] raymerjacque:
i see there is a app in market called "Network Signal Speed Booster". its suppose to boost and refresh all data and wifi connections. I wonder if this app can be used to refresh the dropped data signal issue with this rom ?

If someone running this rom could test and give feedback that would be super.

Link to app is here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freshnetwork&feature=search_result

I can get past the data dropped issue by just using edge, but the video recorder not working is a problem for me. when i record a video and try play it back the image is all scrambled.
[HTC ChaCha] Eyes-Killer:
@raymerjacque:

After I read your post, I tried that app because it sounds useful.

But after testing, I would say its a scrap. After I run that app I have to enter PIN several(!) times even I succesfully entered PIN. Sometimes I cannot enter PIN and it says Wrong PIN (dangerous because it could lock your SIM-Card because of wring tries).

It seems the app doesn't run in background so my ChaCha didn't get reconnected.

Not sure if its my fault (used wrong?) or the app is not working well with ChaCha.

I can't download CM9 for ChaCha from first page's link - "file not found".

Can somebody upload CM9 to file sharing host?

OK, I'll be patient.

Added a temp link. Use the link until goo hosting is back up.

Good News:

I managed to use the Facebook-Button with Button Remapper.

The possibilities however seem to be limited but you can use it as search or camera button. Maybe you can remap it to some other key that can use FB Lite.

The Facebook Button has Number 184 and the phone will be restarted as soon as you press the "Apply"-Button. You also will have to enable phone rotation and rotate it to portrait mode because otherwise you won't see all options.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
personally I'm hoping someone will find a method to map the key to an application, such as you know, opening facebook(for those of us who use it on the rare occasion) :P

but it would also be nice to be able to map both the short and long presses like we could using the old methods for previous roms
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
thank-a-you!! :D worked for me :) got it to play/pause music :) at least it does something useful now :) not a facebook user really, but I'm glad it has a purpose now :)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Already tried activating the FB key and assigned it to various things like end call or screen lock/power on but there seems to be a conflict with the SYM key when doing so. What's different with the app is that it takes any key input, even if it's assigned to a mapping or not.. Whilst android must be informed about mapping.. There should be a workaround though..
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Well, I edited chacha-keypad.kl and added next to the 184 key POWER WAKE_DROPPED and it is functioning as it is supposed to. It locks the screen (much easier than original power button), long press brings up the power menu which is convenient for taking screenshots. The only difference is that most of the time it will not wake our phone because when our phone is in deep sleep state the only thing that can wake it is the original power button. But still, I edit this line in every rom I use, without issues. The f button is more accessible for me to lock my screen then the original button and also this way I'm reducing the usage of the real power button by 50%.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Interesting, so the SYM button works as expected.
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Yes, every button works as expected. I also found a temporary workaround for wifi (when it gets stuck at obtaining IP address when it tries to reconnect after wake). I just set up a static IP address and my phone gets connected within 2 seconds. This is of course a solution for my home wifi.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
One major problem I'm still noticing is that data doesn't seem to work right away for me.

I open up my browser, and it won't do anything for a while. I usually have to go disable 3G data, then re-enable it for it to actually work.

This is even when the signal bar says 3G.

What might cause this, and is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'd love to see a fix.

as for wifi, apparently setting a static IP helps a lot if you're experiencing slow connect times. but I'm more interested in the wireless data I'm paying for :P
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Same problem here. Data connections (no matter if WiFi or 3G) are horrible.

Sometimes they work fine, sometimes they just don't. Most times I have to wait very long to get some site on the browser. And also sometimes one program works perfectly with the internet and another one at the same time just doesn't connect.

I had the problem that the WiFi connection got lost sometimes and the phone didn't reconnect. This could be fixed by using this app and changing the country code to my country.

However, the bug mentioned earlier still remains, so WiFi connection doesn't get lost but some apps for some reason still won't connect sometimes or need a lot of time until they get some data from the internet.

Not here, I have some problems with the key.

Other Bugs I found:

if you start typing very quickly (e.g. when sending sms), text will be reversed. that means instead of "abc" you get "cba"

if using the google search (which i set to contacs and apps only - i use it for typing right away from the home screen) then I have the problem that sometimes apps will not be found. when i search again it mostly works then.
[HTC ChaCha] mdbs:
Same here, as documented in the general chacha thread, see 2nd issue from the top.

It should be possible to work around it to an extent by using Llama to toggle 2g/3g every now and then. It's not elegant but helps.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Known Issue:

When you've used about 2gb of mobile data a "Data Usage Warning" comes up in notifications, and you can't get rid of it.

Steps to reproduce:

Use about 2gb of mobile data

Workaround: I found it so annoying I reflashed the ROM lol. But other than that, nothing :/
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Check in Settings / Data usage or whatever the name is. It's not an issue, is an ICS feature :P.

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I did yeah :/ the data usage feature doesn't seem to work on the chacha. I followed tutorials on how to limit data and set data warnings, but the options aren't there :S

The only thing that it does it tell you how much you've used lol
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Damn it! Another thing I'll need to check lol.

[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Not much of an issue for most users, just cos I usb tether my internet to my laptop and I'm a youtube addict xD

I couldn't get any wifi tether apps to work, but usb tether works out the box on ubuntu :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yeah, wifi tethering is broken, I don't know why though :(

[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
wish I had the knowledge to help :( only basic java programming behind my belt unfortunately D:
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Same with super OSR, but altough it is broken it is still possible to install some free app that can do the job. Try this one.
[HTC ChaCha] arvinivra:
everything is good but please work on:

main camera the quality is lower than original rom

if possible change the lock and unlock button to red (end call)

New build CM9-20120901

I've just built from updated sources and uploaded a new build of CM9.

I've fixed the link in the first post, which should now link again to the latest post.

I haven't been able to test it yet, I hope nothing is broken ...

Enjoy :).
[HTC ChaCha] arvinivra:
Thanks man but i cant found any new link
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Use the link in the first post, it's the same link that was already posted. Don't use the temp link anymore, which is a previous build. Don't pay attention to the build date in the OP, it needs to be updated.

Known Issue:

Superuser force closes when an app tries to get root permissions, and force closes when opening superuser app itself :(

Steps to reproduce: Start app which requires root or start superuser.

Workaround: I'm not clever enough to find one lol :( I was wondering if it could be fixed by flashing a new superuser in cwm recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Uch, try maybe to update or reinstall it from Market.

[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I think we should try out porting Jelly Bean/CM10 to the ChaCha soon! I just tried it out for the first time on my Acer Iconia A500 Tablet, and man does it perform well! The speed of my everyday tasks have increased by probably 50%! and that's using stock settings.

I think that this will be a major improvement for the ChaCha if it will run properly.

I'd be more than willing to help test, if someone would be willing to give porting it a try :)
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I did :( the only option is open, and I can't remove it with anything, cos I'd need root access to remove it *facepalm* haha :P

Can anyone make a flashable zip with the latest superuser.apk on it?
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
Use SuperSU for now. :)
[HTC ChaCha] LegibleEel:
i have the same problem as the guy above, tried SuperSU and still crash.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Remove superuser.apk (and .odx/odex if it's there).

Install superuser from the market.

Run superuser, allow it access.

Done.

Worth a try.
[HTC ChaCha] LegibleEel:
it just says 'super user cannot be deleted cause the file system is read only' and i cant get into rootexplorer to delete it that way because i cant get root on it. :/
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
All good, but you need root to delete it haha :P
[HTC ChaCha] Hongrois123:
delete superuser from system/app by adb fastboot in recovery mode after mounting system dir ...

use ADB
[HTC ChaCha] malikou:
any changlog for the new version ?

thank's
[HTC ChaCha] Hongrois123:
for me data works more reliable .. no need to 2g/3g or en/dis

video is fixed !!!

faster (?)

lol
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
As Hongrois said, you don't need root to do that. Just ADB.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Ah fair enough :) I'll have to try it :)
[HTC ChaCha] LegibleEel:
Followed and now I have root :D thanks muchly :)

us keyboard mappings

just installed latest drop. was hoping keyboard would be mapped correctly for us. i've gotten so used to incorrect mappings and learned them, so big deal. but hopefully we can include the updated mappings files in to the next release? thanks and great work!
[HTC ChaCha] kesongpinoy:
can somebody else confirm that the video playback is fixed? how about the hardware call buttons? are they working as intended?

EDIT:

nvm, I have flashed it :) the video has still lags but is now watchable. the hardware buttons are still the same though

yay for swipe to control brightness in status bar! :)
[HTC ChaCha] jumpinglewis:
agreed data is more reliable.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
Data was not more reliable on initial flash(upgraded from last release)

Wiped device, and reflashed - data is WAY more reliable.

Device even seems slightly faster? might just be placebo effect though.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
what is wrong with the mapping? Please contribute to it. IIRC the instructions to contribute to fix the mapping where somewhere up in this (long) thread.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
speaking of mapping.. have you had any insight into how we might be able to map the facebook button to launch facebook? :P

I -read- somewhere(havent tested) that in the cyanogenmod 7 rom for the chacha, that you can go under the cm settings or something under input, and map it to something. but again, this was me just skimming through threads.

I think the only major issues we have left are the front camera and the facebook button being useless.

performance is great, wifi locks quickly, mobile data works consistently now(at least mine has for the last 48 hours)

what else is left to do before this gets officialized and we start on CM10? :P
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yeah it's in CM Parts, which is included in the CM7 build. We don't have it yet on the CM9 though.

Nevertheless, I hate facecrap. I mean book.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I set my Facebook button as a torch xD
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
exactly. doesn't -have- to launch facebook. we just definitely need a way to set -what- it does in CM9.
[HTC ChaCha] ucafe:
is there any fix for the front camera.???????
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
not yet. hopefully soon. aldx was working on it I believe, but I'm not sure how far he got with it.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Does anyone else have problems with the sound? It's far too quiet when using navigation, even when I turn it to maximum. With the stock ROM sound was ok.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Same navi app? I'm using Sygic without any issues, sound is loud enough.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Sound seems to be too quiet no mather if it is Google Maps, Navigator or Mumble.
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Is there any fix for wifi tethering yet? :) I can't afford broadband, so tethering is a must for me, so I'm sticking with SuperOSR until it's fixed :)
[HTC ChaCha] Hongrois123:
http://qr.ai/qe5iv

try this
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
Thanks, but I tried that and all the other wireless tether apps on the market, root and non-root, and none of them worked :/

I had a little workaround, I USB tethered to my laptop (running ubuntu) and then I'd make my laptop into a wireless hotspot to share the internet with my fiancees laptop, but she couldn't connect to the adhoc network with her phone, even when running cm7.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yeah the wifi tether is broken, I tried several times to fix it, but I didn't managed it.
[HTC ChaCha] K3lthuzad:
Props to you, adlx!

Picked up a ChaCha the other day, 'cause they were going cheap.

I'm actually surprised how well this little guy performs on CM9. There's very little noticeable lag, it's amazing.

I'm going to see if I can change the DPI without exploding things, I need the Notification bar to be a tad bigger, so that the text displays nicer. :)

___

Oooh, small request. Would it be possible to add in a setting where we can map app quick launch things?

Like how at the moment Search + S is messages, Search + L is calendar.
[HTC ChaCha] Pollocedrone:
Sorry for this 2 stupid questions:

- with this ROM can i use italian language?

- to "flash google apps" i must do the same steps like "flash rom .zip file" right?

thnaks and sorry again!
[HTC ChaCha] K3lthuzad:
I think it supports Italian. CM9 does doesn't it? Not 100% sure.

And I'm pretty sure you can flash GApps at any time, but you might as well do it when flashing the ROM so that you have them.
[HTC ChaCha] Pollocedrone:
thanks for your reply! about google apps: i must use "install zip from sdcard" into recovery boot menu?
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
as for it supporting italian - I know it supports the italian keymapping so I would assume that it does support italian language.

correct :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
It's the same, but don't wipe :D

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC ChaCha] Pollocedrone:
great! all works, italian language is ok! i have only 1 problem: keymap is incorrect with those symbols: & or % or @...how can i solve it?

[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
-- cancelled --
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
I don't have any idea what you mean by that but I was able to fix the problem by

- installing an older superuser.apk from there with CWM

- updating it from the market

BTW: Any Idea how I can set the call-end-button to homescreen instead of screen off?
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
pretty sure we don't have remapping keys down just yet. at least not for CM9.

I've been wanting to map the Facebook button for a while now, and I'd also like to change the end/red button behavior both while not in a call, and while in a call.

From what I've read, the cyanogenmod settings("CM Parts") which allows you to do stuff like this is no longer being added to CyanogenMod. I'm not sure what people will do as an alternative, but I hope that they reverse this decision.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Keyboard behaviour is horrible... :( I can't even start calls with the green key.

This is something to be done for adding some key-pack for CM, etc.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
at this point I've basically forgotten the red and green buttons are there, because they currently have no useful purpose - but I'd prefer the green one to bring up either the dial pad or the recent calls list. it should also answer incoming calls.

the end button should bring you to the home screen, not lock the phone. and it should end calls if you're in one. There shouldn't even be a touchscreen option to end the call in my opinion. personally I went out of my way to find this phone when I bought it, because I prefer physical keys to touch screens. the touch screen is nice for games and such but the phone should be able to be navigated primarily from the buttons.

I'd love if someone could make keymapping more of a priority, but I won't push for it. honestly I'm more interested in a CM10 port right now xD
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Well, for the end call (red) button, install spare parts from market and set it to go home and it will end calls as well while you're in one. As for the green button, try alternative dialers like dialer one, it brings the call log when you press it and dials the last number when you press it again. Although the dial pad takes much screen I like it because it has number+name smart dialing and it sorts the contacts by call frequency.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
Thanks I'll give it a look. although I generally try to stay away from installing more apps due to the small amount of storage on this device. granted, we can store many of the apps on the SD card, but still. it would be nice to just have the functionality in the OS. but again, thanks, I'll give it a look :)
[HTC ChaCha] g0rnex:
hello,

First of all i want to congradulate all the devs working on this rom. You did a great job so far!

Just installed cm9 on my chacha and i think its great, very smooth.

Installed s2e and some apps and it works great. Internal memory does not get used at all.

Just have some problem I had before, when I get to about 10 installed apps my phone hard reboots when I try to install any app.

I found people saying i just have to delete some files from system and it should be solved. However i don't use adb but prefer terminal. i don't know the codes to solve this. If anyone has another idee to fix this let me know.

for the record I would like to say that the chacha is a very underrated device and hope since htc is not planning to that you guys get this rom stable and fully functional.
[HTC ChaCha] kesongpinoy:
thanks for this solution. end call button now works as it should. For the dialer, I used exDialer as it looks great and has no ads
[HTC ChaCha] Bunnybugs_007:
I'm just curious about this.

Does the network still drop when te proximity sensor is activated?

That was a big bummer when I flashed CM9 the last time... I wanna have it, but it has to function on a daily basis... Can't make calls all day on speaker....
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I've had almost zero issues with the last few builds - in fact, the latest build even fixed 3G data for me. for some reason it hadn't been working previously for me.

I havent noticed any issues with the proximity sensor or network dropping so hopefully you wont have any issues either!

good luck!

y is still htc chacha an unofficial port for cm

hi guys ,i had read in the official cm blog that some devices will get a official port which included htc chacha. as i remember the cm website had stated that at the launch of cm 7.2 and now cm 10 m1 is released.Plz guys request cm to give a offical rom for this port as this phone does not have a lot of roms. Cyanogen will free this phone from htc and easy to use.Htc has killed this lovely phone.So plz developers make this forum alive and ask cm ppl to port offical cm to this device.Else this forum will be removed from xda i am scared.:(
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Official CM was asked by me, and I have been asking for updates. For the moment I'm waiting they merge some branches so I can rebuild and see if it doesn't fail with their release branch. Things go slow, those people have their lives too :).

thank you for the reply,i know they also have a life but the development for this device is really very slow. Hardly we have any roms.This phone is really a great device.i am not angry but scared that what if xda removes this forum.
[HTC ChaCha] Bunnybugs_007:
Well, I couldn't find the workaround for the superuser problem... but found out that installing the apk from the web fixes temporary... after installing, just install SuperSU from Google Play
