Yes but in real live i never use this feature because my GPS starts automatically when I open an app that needs it and shuts down when exiting the app.

After the errors I experienced installing GPS status I just went back to a previous backup. It didn't seem the problem started with installing GPS Status but after selecting it as first GPS app after a reboot I was able to reproduce the errors as mentioned in this thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
sure it does. its the same as a nightly - just i build it myself, because there are no nightlies for you for 2 days. and i prefer building it myself instead seeing crackflashers ad sites again (:

about duckload over dropbox: last time i put a build on my dropbox (a week ago?) my dropbox was suspended for 5 days due to overloading it... dont wanna repeat - so i choose duckload this time.

thx mad.

do you intend to release a changelog?

i assume your batt fix isn't included in this nightly..?!

greets

edit: found this for changelog issue http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=ace
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
yeah - this changelog totally rocks - i just wish it had an option to disable output of translations at all.

and no, no fixes included - as i wrote, its just a plain compilation of latest sources - a nightly wouldnt have fixes in it, too (:

What does this mean?

mtpd: Add BOARD_KERNEL_NEW_PPPOX option for 2.6.37+ (android_external_mtpd)

Are we finally moving towards 2.6.37 kernel? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
No, the bug you are documenting is apparently with GPS on cyanogen the problem we are reporting is with GPS Status apparently buggering up our perfectly fine GPS. To re-itterate my GPS is fine I can switch it off and on as much as i like day in day out and it works, yesterday when I installed GPS Status my phone was unable to get a lock after turning GPS off and on again (just the once), removing GPS Status and rebooting and it all works fine again and I can switch it on and off all day long and it still works.
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
maybe gps status got gingerbread/2.3.3 issues as so many apps had/have?
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
I have issue and have never had gps status.

Swyped on transparent XDA app.
[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
Loving the new build.....smooth as silk. Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
I accept that, and it must be a nightmare, but I suspect it's something to do with your particular hardware itteration, so i think to uncover the issue is gonna require some serious tinkering and some exhaustive logcats, but calling out CM as the sole cause of your problem and monopolising this thread ain't helping as it appears the majority of users (please correct me if i'm wrong) simply don't have this issue
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
well, consider it is the only rom of the ones i tested that has this issue.

neither current leaked sense gingerbread based roms, nor previous froyo ones had them for me.

anyway. the bug has been filled in. i posted a full log (kernel and syslog) so we will see what's happening.

i currently cant stay because of this at cm7.
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Some issues may be acceptable to some and may not be for others.

Some may choose to be silence knowing that the matter has been raised and others may choose to voice out .

And I don't see why we can't talk or discuss about it since this is the development thread.

There are the lucky ones like you, I'm happy for you but for the rest of us, we just hope that things would turn out for the best.

CM is great and I love this rom. All thumbs up for a great team that they have.

Hey, nightly #17 is up :)
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Yup yup, downloaded :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] gururajkg:
is the GPS issue addressed in #17, what about the battery fix
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Haven't played with GPS yet, but you still need to apply Mad's #5 battery patch if you want to benefit from that.
[Desire HD Android Development] shotgunzo:
What about hrkfdn's kernel fix?
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Apparently @hrkfdn has introduced a battery fix. You could try out the test zip.

The workaround is still required.
[Desire HD Android Development] gururajkg:
I have downloade the GPS status with #17.

Following is the findings.

1. At reboot , there is no problem with the notification icon or the fix.

2. Close GPS status application, and run it without closing the GPS, the fix is fast with the notification icon.

3.But once the GPs is closed either in the power widget or the settings and location and securities, then the GPs icon is not seen and also the fix is not there

With the above observation, if you ar a navigation savvy then, after reboot dont close the GPS.If you close then a reboot is must.

Applications checked with.

1. GPS Status

2.Sygic mobile maps 10
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Exactly the same for me, #17 didn't change the issue at all. Also there is nothing special about GPS Status. It's the same with Share My Position

[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
Cyanogenmod is the only rom using the qualcomm optimizations from code Aurora. That's one of the reasons cm7 is lightning fast. Sure some of the optimizations have side effects.

Maybe you now understand a bit better what's going on.

Err, cm7 lightning fast? Any of the custom roms here are faster. Dont get me wrong, I very like cm7 but has the slowest kernel of all custom roms here (except for the roms based on the leaked gingerbread sense ones).
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
Is there a documentation of these new 'profiles' feature somewhere? I find it rather confusing.

For example, what is this 'vibration mode'? If it is set as 'on', it makes my dialer crazy. Whenever during call screen switches on or off, there is this crazy double vibration. Intentional? Hard to say. I would like to read some docs regarding the functions to make some logic on the options.
[Desire HD Android Development] igor.tonky:
omfg, so this is the cause! i set it and forgot about it, all those in-call vibrations in my ear, without apparent reason, were driving me crazy %-F
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
I'm sure it's a nice feature but I really don't think its intuitive either.

+1 on that documentation!
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
its there another kernel that i can try with this ROM?

The battery drain is still an issue for me with this ROM. battery monitor show that am at around 40 - 50mA all the time, even over night.
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
Yep, have a look see at this thread
[Desire HD Android Development] off centre:
Are you serious? You must be using a different CM7 to me then lol... I've always found CM7 to be easily the fastest ROM out of the ones I've tried. If you think it's so slow, why do you use it then?
[Desire HD Android Development] codeworkx:
CM7 is the fastet ROM out for DHD.

All other ROMs out are just themed proprietary ****.

Sorry, but thats the truth.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i DID NOT said cm7 is slow!!!

read what i wrote!

yes i am serious. i just tired this weak leedroid 2.2.2 with kernel 2.2.5r2, actual coredroid (froyo based), actual arhd (froyo based) and they are all a bit faster in all benchmarks (leedroid + that kernel above is the very fastest).

during normal day usage they all feel at least as fluent as cm7 but their raw performance is superior to cm7, not much but definately messurable with all available bechmark tools.

i switched last 3 days around 6 time my rom to try different things and that was my resultss. cm7 is definitely not the fastest rom!

(edit: until i tried cm7 i used leedroid + his kernel - allways updateting - for over a month).

just to point out: it also uses the OLDEST kernel subversion. it is only kernel 2.6.32.28, where all the others use 2.6.32.30/31. and the kernel is missing several optimizations like smartass and other stuff. again not much, but there are something that makes probably the above difference.

now if you feel offended by my test findings you better shouldn't read a developer forum and better read church news. if you have tested it yourself and have other results fine. that's my results: all tested more than once.
[Desire HD Android Development] hrkfdn:
i think you've read too much of the church news.

you can't honestly claim that the user experience of cm is slower than the one on sense roms. and don't even get me started on the benchmarks-argument, leave alone the rest.. omg.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
WTF? haven't you got teched READING in school? where the **** did i claimed THIS?

here in this thread someone CLAIMED cm7 kernel to be the fasted due to some exclusive optimizations. this is something that can be messured only by benchmarks! and if cm7 is in every benchmark, yes EVERY ONE! slower than the above mentioned roms/kernels you can't seriously claim cm7 to be the fastest.

regarding day to day usage experience i NEVER claimed cm7 feels slower! NEVER!!!!

oh my god, you guys really sound like blind fanatics.... KILL THE HERETICS!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
Those roms are faster only if you apply no-sense patch IMHO
[Desire HD Android Development] phunkycow:
What people don't understand is that benchmark scores are a bucketload of crap. User experience and quadrant scores are irrelevent and this has been proven multiple times in the past.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Maybe it's wrong for me to say this since I'm not a moderator, but it won't help anyone to argue so strongly about the fastest of CM7. Both of you have had useful input in the past that helped the rest of us... let's keep that going :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
NOT TRUE!!!

i used them (especially leedroids rom) without nosense rom (i just tired that out the last week with no-sense patch and it didn't made ANY difference).
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
ok this may be a stupid question but what is the difference between this ROM and this ROM CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD & Inspire: V7.0.0-RC2?
[Desire HD Android Development] hedayat7:
Please stop this childish fight. Don't spam this thread. Back to topic. If you don't like cm7 then go out from this thread and don't came back.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
that's only partially true!

benchmarks are messuring different aspects of the rom BUT NOT all. that's why relying only on benchmarks is bull****. but when it comes to several applications that need performance in benchmarkable aspects they are usefull. formaly games! there are also other usefull informations you get out of it.

cm7 is working absolutely smooth and i never claimed somethign else! but its raw cpu and gpu performance IS a bit (not much) slower than of the above mentioned roms. the difference is really not much, in fact very slow. hence in real life it does not matter.

but i started on this lightning fast due to some cpu optimization that only cm7 claims to has. it may hgave this optimization exclusive, but it does not help to make cm7 being faster than the others without it. THAT was what i said.

and if you don't have any objective messure than don't start claiming such things! performace is messureablle!
[Desire HD Android Development] hedayat7:
Nightly is actually for developement purpose where some of bugs fixed most of every night while release candidate is for normal day use with 'minimal' issue. :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] PoseyBAH:
does this contain the new battery patch?
[Desire HD Android Development] 007K:
No. You'll have to flash murdoch patch from the first page
[Desire HD Android Development] mrjonnyrock:
can you link that patch please, dont have time to go search atm :)
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
May be a stupid question but here goes....

If I have GPS enabled in settings will it always try and get a lock leading to poor battery, or will it only try and get a lock when an app such as google maps or navigation is running?

At the moment I enable/disable it through the power widget every time I need it. Im not sure if i'm wasting my time or not?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Thats great news as I use GPS a lot. I swear on my HTC sense rom it didnt do that, so I just assumed CM7 was the same. This is just another small way CM7 is so much better! :D

Probably not the correct topic to ask, if so can anyone show me where to ask this :) there goes:

I'm building cm7 locally but the modversion showing up is "cm-7.0.0-RC1-DesireHD-KANG" eventhough the build.prob for ace is referring to RC2 and I thought i was making a nightly :s I;m probably doing something completely wrong but can't seem to find what exactly.

[Desire HD Android Development] vinokirk:
I would like to report three bugs. Thankyou Please.

1: Setting the LCD density directly via editing the build.prop doesn't work. You change it, restart and nothing happens. I've tried it with multiple text editors and multiple DPIs.

2: The only way I can change the LCD density is via the app 'LCDDensity for Root' by Elviss. This program does a semi-reset (the phone doesn't reset but the boot screen comes up for a bit, hope you know what I mean) and the density has changed. This changes the Density, but when you reboot your phone it resets back to normal so you need to change it again.

3: When the screen density has been changed from the default of 240, some apps do not scale properly. My previous phone was able to scale properly at all DPIs. Currently I am on a DPI of 190, people pictures in Maps do not scale properly, Root Explorer, Life360 also do not scale properly. Facebook does scale properly but on some other DPIs it doesn't.

Is there an official place I can report these bugs?

I'm on nightly #15 and have 180dpi via bulid.prop without problems. Everything works. Is this an issue only in #17? If it is than I' skipping this one

Running 200 dpi via build.prop on build 17 here no problems, re apps not scaling that's an issue for the developers of the app not a CM issue

Hmm, maybe it was a problem in an earlier build, I havent tried it since #12 or perhaps earlier.

Same here. 200 in build.prop works fine. Try unckecking compatibility in spare parts for the scaling issue

recently i had notice that battery drain on RC2 + nightly roms has gone worse.

specially when you do a a full wipe.

now i had a poke at the wifi policies and i found that CM7 RC2 + has gone back to putting ..wifi sleep when not use...

on CM6 it was found that if you have the correct radio and wifi policy of never..the battery will perform excellent.

well i changed it to wifi policy of never and my battery has been excellent.

! :D

maybe Kali can set the default for wifi policy to never sleep
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
1:like the rest, cannot confirm.

2:take a look at the included spare parts and the font size settings.

3:changing LCD density and also any other settings in build. Prop is absolutely not supported by Google, cm or any app. Some devs do pay attention to it, if it's not too complicated to obey changed dpi, some devs simply ignore it.

In any way, you are on your own changing those settings. According to Google, there are only 2 phone resolutions and one tablet.

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Desire HD Android Development] off centre:
Just wanted to say I've just come back to the CM7 nightlies again, used some of the earlier nightlies but the battery drain turned me off. Now, using CM7 nightly #17 plus Mad Murdock's patch #5, it's running great! Battery drain is possibly the best it's ever been, only losing about 1% every hour on standby. In my opinion it's at least as good if not better than when I was using Sense ROMs (and I used to have Juice Defender as well, don't use it with CM7). :)

Also, sorry that this is off topic, but I'm sure when using CM7 previously, I used to be able to set an MP3 song as an alarm, but I can't seem to work out how to do it now. When I go into alarm settings I'm sure it used to give me the option to select a song as an alarm, but now all I get is the default Android ones. Anyone here able to tell me how I can do this? Thanks :)
[Desire HD Android Development] deadcookie:
afaik u have to put that mp3 song into sdcard/media/audio/alarms :D
