Battery life?

Rooted MT3G XM-8 Even Moar Stripped with XDA Premium..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ladderwalker:
Seems good to me, sym key doesn't work but I never use the hardware keyboard. I had to flash the wifi signed zip at first but since then its been fine. The battery seems better.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
Wifi signed zip, please explain? Alright so I took the plunge again and my home key works and market is up. Stock browser had an issue so I'm using Dolphin HD, which I think is faster anyway. I like it, I think I've got another new DD for sure!

Also my SYM key hasn't worked with CM7 since I started using it so to the guy above asking, mine doesn't work either.

It's a wifi fix for cm7 nightlies, not sure if it would do anything for wifi reboots since I've never had a wifi reboot. I flash it because sometimes when i flash a new ROM the wifi doesn't work.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
Okay thank you for explaining.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
Everything is great except for broken gps. Love the new rotation effect.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
My GPS works fine? I use the GpsFix apk from the market and it works great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fiveseven808:
Tried the latest nightly, but wifi didn't work at all :[ I couldnt access it via settings, so I flashed to 7.1

7.1 seems to be working a lot better, but one of the APs in my house has it's security settings incorrectly identified WEP instead of WPA2.

Any idea what's going on here?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
I tried getting a GPS lock on my drive home from work yesterday. I could not get one and I have a modified gps.conf files that usually makes my locks happen in under a minute.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
My WiFi works fine, using it now..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fiveseven808:
I had to flash dirty over 7.1 for my wifi to start working. Even then I had to flash the wifi fix :/

At least I got it working and it's beautiful :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
Flash dirty lol!

Is anyone having issues with the 'Status Bar' force closing frequently? I have been having this happen a few times a day since switching to this latest nightly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fiveseven808:
I have on a different device actually... I wonder if the latest build broke something with the status bar in a generic sense?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Does anyone know if the 'WIFI calling' app can run on other builds, roms? Is it just an app or are their library binaries it depends on that are unique to cm7?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
May just be a slide thing. We officially got it with that OTA update last year. But I'm sure someone can find a way.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
This proly isn't the best place for this but I am trying to get my feet wet with Android Dev. I have grown tired of some nagging issues with the Espresso. I really like like CM7 and with a few bug fixes this could be a super solid build for the Espresso. Unfortunately it seems that we are out of devs for our device.

I have started reading up on developing but am looking for a mentor of sorts. If anyone is willing to work with me I would appreciate it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HD Case:
Hi Everybody,

I haven't been around in a while as things have seemed a little dead. But I see there's finally a new nightly, so gotta try it out.

So, you know I haven't flashed a new rom in months and I know google's been busy with their cloud.

I use S2E and my question is: If I do a totally clean wipe 'n flash, is it better to:

a. Reinstall apps from TB

b. Let the google cloud reinstall the apps

c. Will S2E just make the apps available to reinstall

d. Reinstall from a backup folder from ES File Explorer or whatever.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of these methods size/bloat-wise?

Thanks in advance...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HD Case:
Also it looks like the link to the new Nightlie is down. Anyone know where I can get it?

SKam69 - Thanks! Got it...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
Was bored and decided to give the new nightly a shot, but it just stays on the S-Off boot screen. I Wiped system, data, cache. Do i have to upgrade my recovery from 2.5.0.7 to 3.0.0.5 something else for it to work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
No but the first boot may take several minutes
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
Thanks for the reply, i tried and waited several times without success but it worked after I flash the cwm 5 recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:
I have also encountered the issue of home key not working after I was reflashing the rom. Data wipe helped.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SKAm69:

Goood, next week should be final release and hopefully and CM9 beta after lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
How is the new 7.2? Anyone using it yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] aaldiar:
Battery life seems much better, last nightly drained more than 40% overnight just sitting there. The RC only drained 3%. Wi-Fi works without patching it, and using the kernel it came with.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] t_bone77:
works the sym key??

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
And visual differences?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] aaldiar:
Looks like the CAPS and FN lights work while typing this message. Doesn't seem like any visual differences from that latest nightly. If you haven't checked out that nightly then the biggest visual difference is the transition from portrait to landscape. It retains the screen image and kinda 'squeezes' into place.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vnuk1:
Yeah I'm using the latest nightly, hmm doesn't seem like checking out then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
I just got a reboot when I turned my wifi off and back on a hour later so it seems like that problem still exist.Its kind of strange how they released a final version of CM7.1 with this same problem and now continuing on with a CM7.2RC with the same problem. Oh yeah and my USB mass storage mode doesn't work either, goes into the mode but never shows up on the computer.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hitorijanae:
For some weird reason, when I flash dark tremor apps2sd, Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 guys into an indefinite bootloop.

Edit: Also I haven't had any problems with the WiFi.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
It's because there is not CM dev for our phone anymore. Things like reboots on wifi toggle, keyboard sym key not working, GPS taking a long time to lock have been issues since 7.0.3rc1 for the most part.

I'm swamped with work right now but I do have some coding knowledge and would like to get a dev env up and running.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
Ohhhh I see, I thought Wes was in charge of the espresso for the CM team. Thanks for the reply.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
That may be true still but given some of the issues that the slide has had and the length of time without fixing its hard to believe anyone is working on slide specific issues. For instance the sym key on the keyboard is just a matter of adding a single line if code to the map file.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
yeah makes sense.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] loo432:
My symbol key has always worked... only thing I could complain about it is the fact that I can't change what symbols are there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
really? what rom are you on?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ladderwalker:
Now that I'm on latest nightly/7.2 the phone hangs when I snooze the alarm, not a very good glitch
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] loo432:
At the moment I am on 7.1.0 RC1 but my symbol key has worked through all versions of CM6 and CM7 (at least til RC1)

This is the popup I get when I use my sym key on the keyboard
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Uhg, that means it's hardware then. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

EDIT:

I believe it broke right after 7.1.0 RC1. Can you confirm that later releases are working for you?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Marcovecchio:
If someone wants to join forces to fix these bugs, please pm me! I'm a C++ and Java developer, not an Android one, but I want to learn and help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
So I was able to fix my random reboots on the toggling of WIFI by taking twlan driver from CM 7.0.0. I tried to copy over the system/usr/key* folders as well to fix the physical SYM key not working but this had no effect.

Does anyone know how I can go about pulling keyboard mapping/binaries from a working version of CM7 to the most recent CM 7.2.0 rc1?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] t_bone77:
The Files in /usr/keychars and /usr/keylaout are binary identical...

There is no difference between CM 7.0.3 and 7.2.0RC1

I think the problem is anywhere else...

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Anyone getting random freeze then reboots with RC2? I had to nandroid to an older nightly I was using.

Was wondering if I should try flashing a latest nightly instead?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ovar:
Please detail the process you used to upgrade.

I do get random reboots when toggling wifi, but I just replace the twlan driver with one from the 7.0 build and it runs great for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Must think I'm a newbie or something!

Full wipe from CM7.1.0.

Flashed manually from Recovery.

Wifi didn't seem to be a problem for me, just random freeze/reboots at times. Mostly in menus (a lot in Ringtones selection).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Can't download from CyanogenMod for 2 days now.

Well, I just now tried and it connected, but it's suuuuuuuuuuper slow.

Installed the latest nightly. Seems to be smoother than the 7.2.0 RC2 that I was on.

The 810 build is pretty stable but wifi tether will make the device reboot... not the built in tether but Android WiFi Tether app.

Anyone else?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
Stock slide does run 2.1, however so does the desire and the EVO 4G until recently. When I get home tonight I will provide the link in the desire forum about it. Its just a way that a line of code was written to support it. If they can find that line and change it, then perhaps we can get 10.1 with CM6.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
are we.. HDPI or MDPI?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eleeo037037:
Do I have to do a full wipe for every nightly build I flash. I think the rom is stable enought to stick with. Going to flash through rom manager.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
No. You can go from nightly to nightly without wiping.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
Anyone link me to the torch they have on the nightly
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Why don't you just flash the nightly? Or, if you don't want to do that, download the nightly, unzip it and grab the torch app from /system/app.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eleeo037037:
Thanks.

Is anyone else having problems with the home screen rotation I restored my adw setting so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Even when I open the keyboard rotation is not working but if I'm in a app it works =/ ???

I don't know if this have been mentioned, but the mod may delete this post if it has.

I love this ROM, my issues are the accelometer runs very slow and sometimes it just hangs there.

My other issue is after taking a picture i go back and take it a look at it then decide I want to delete it and once I delete it the camera stays blurry unless I restard the camera.

I also have one question does any one know if the wifi tether will be added to ROM in the future?

Thanks for the good work and effort put on to this ROM

By the way I have gapps uninstall because I enjoy the 143 mb free space.

Is there a way to just install the Android market only?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hardkorekid:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hardkorekid:

Can any one assist if there is a way to check accelometer or this is aa issue with this ROM?

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
I've been running the latest since last night and have not had any issues with the accelerometer. Have you tried another ROM since your issue started?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Thanks for you response.

I was able to get it to work by going into cyanogenMod settings> user interface>accelerometer and unchecking all then reboot go back to accelerometer and setting 90 and 270 back and reboot and that seem to fix the problem. I will continue to check and report back if the problem comesback. At this instant is workng great.

Again thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hardkorekid:
Cool thanks trying that now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Has anyone been able to see the camera problem I mentioned or this just my phone?

I am eager to find out is this is fix this one will be a keeper for me.

Nice build

Google

The new google voice search doesn't want to install on the latest nightly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It wont update the VoiceSearch.apk in the /system/app directory. You have to boot into recovery, mount system, open an ADB SHELL and rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk

Please please please - make a nandroid backup before doing anything to your system.

Once you've removed the apk, reboot the phone and download Voice Search from the Market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ya, I was just trying to keep people informed. I would do it, but I'm conditioning my battery right now and don't want to plug it in. :) Besides, it'll make it in the build pretty soon anyway.

Thanks for the command though! :cool:

I'm using tweetdeck beta right now and it runs pretty well. You can post to twitter, fb, foursquare, buzz and myspace. I don't remember if there's any more. It's not on the market, though. You'll have to go to the tweetdeck website and find it there or do a google search. Weird thing though, there's no update frequency option so it updates all the time. But it doesn't seem to be running my battery down.

So far everything seems about the same. My wifi stops working after a few minutes, but just clicking it off and back on again seems to fix it. Its like it goes to sleep or something. Says its working but everything will time out. Only in browser and xscope. Market wifi stays working, still get email and texts. Might just be on my end.

Also, I am running dumfuqs oc kernel so might be related to that. Started after flashing the 8/14 though
