Well.. That's mostly true. It depends on your installation techniques. I personally remove the script that clears /system, so my themed apps don't go away-just the framework does.. I also modify what's in the ROM .zip so I don't have to remove crap like File Manager and the like from within Android.

Please note: I do NOT recommend that anyone do this. This can cause a number of problems-especially if you're not entirely sure what you're doing. If you do decide to do this, you should probably not complain when something breaks.

It also depends on the theme. If the themer sets up the .zip to install anything in /data/app, then a new ROM flash will not overwrite some of those apps unless you wipe data.

Just wanted to clarify that a little. =)

I can't believe I never saw that....

[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:

Hey guys, lockscreen mods are updated for #36 if anyone is interested..

The second post on my theme thread (check my sig) has it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
I'm trying out CM7 RC4, wondering if the issue with screen auto-brightness not working well (way too dark), and gmail right margin bug have been fixed in the nightlies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
gmail bug NOT fixed.

screen autobrightness??? you can set it up anyway you want to... light, dark, whatever you want.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RobertMaurizio:
Cyanogen tweeted that stable will be out in the next few days.

Nice.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wamsille:
Stable? Really? What about the other bugs that have yet to be addressed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
The auto-brightness adjustment on CM7 is much slower than any other ROM I have used. Maybe that's not what the poster was referring to, I dunno.

Sometimes I turn the screen on and it literally takes 2-3 seconds to adjust.

Oh and I just happened to glance at the thread tags at the bottom of the page - pretty funny.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adianlorenzana:
What? But the theme changer needs so much work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sabbotage:
How did you get that 6 bar signal meter on CM7?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
You can adjust that... you can adjust how long it takes to adjust. Look at the signature of byrong... there is a link to an excellent discussion of exactly how the autobrightness works.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
I guess some things will either have to just stay like they are, or be addressed in 7.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
The theme chooser is the t-mobile theme chooser. Not the CM theme chooser.. Just like they're not going to fix any VZW apps, they're probably not going to fix much with that..

As for the other guy, what bugs have yet to be addressed beyond the gmail margin and lense lock showing am/pm??? Honestly, those are the ONLY bugs I've run into in quite some time.

Furthermore.... look at what HTC and VZW released to our devices. That sure as hell wasn't perfect. These guys aren't getting paid for what they do-who gives anyone the right to expect perfection from them like they owe you something?

Sorry about the little rant there, but that kinda stuff bothers me.

No need for that kind of post at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
He did say that the cm updater not working was a 7.0 blocker, so that will probably be working.

He also bumped up the priority of gmail, so I bet that gets fixed before the release too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RobertMaurizio:
Ah. Makes sense. Thanks for the info. We can always count on you to be on top of it, JF.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
Can someone tell me how a nightly build actually works, and what the benefits are?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
Nightly builds are made (usually) nightly, and contain whatever changes are in the changelog, if any. Simple as that. Sometimes they fix things, sometimes they break. The changelog tells every change. Lately it has just been stuff that doesn't affect us too much.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
So it pretty much updates itself then? I just don't want to have to flash a new build every night.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] userjf:
Your phone never updates by itself. Anytime you want a new nightly, you have to download and flash it. Look at the changelog to see if a nightly has any fixes relevant to the Incredible or your issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
Cool, thanks. One last question: Do I have to wipe data every time I flash a new build?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
Hehe. Let me get this one, userjf...

You sure don't!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
I checked it out, but if I was reading it right it was mostly talking about filtering and how to increase the amount and number of transition levels going from a dark area to a light one. The problem I have with it is that when it's set to auto-brightness, the screen is almost unreadably dim even in a dark room. It seems like in the CM settings display menu there are ways to tweak it, but I don't understand what you would change to increase brightness at a certain level.

Another thing I noticed was the screen seems to take a lot of battery when you look at your battery statistics. There's a thread in the CM forum about this but was just wondering what you guys thought about that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
yep wipe the whole damn thing :p

aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

@wamsille

Please check your PM.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
Screen should always take the highest percentage of battery unless you just don't use your phone.

The levels are definitely able to be tweaked. Play with them a little-maybe raise them all enough so its visible, but keep in mind that the brighter it is, the more battery it'll use.. I know there was some discussion a while back where people listed their settings. Try searching and use those as a guide.

The transition levels are also helpful because it sets how long it takes your screen to brighten up when walking out into the sunlight from a dimly lit room, or something similar. You wany instant transition, set it to be like that.

If you're having issues seeing your display in a dimly lit room, I think there would have to be something more going on there. The only time I have any issues is in direct sunlight, and even then, its not terrible...

For those of you who are trying to get a sense like experience for your facebook and twitter a la friendstream you should check out Pure Messenger Widget from the market it does a very good job of consolidating facebook, twitter, or you can even add SMS, calls and email all in one scrollable widgets.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWhiteBandito:
Or you could use LauncherPro Plus and use the "Friends" widget which does Facebook and Twitter as well!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Seraph552:
Absolutely awesome! I have had LP+ for a long time and had been using the separate FB and Twitter widgets, I had not noticed that inclusion. Thanks a lot!

P. S. Pure Messenger is great as an option for Adw :-)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWizKid95:
Sorry if I'm being a bother, but I'm on mobile and can't search, but was anyone aware of the mms bug? I can't receive or send any pictures. Is there aa fix for this yet? And will this be fixed in the upcoming CM7 final? Thanks for putting up with my stupidness! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
I haven't had any mms issues. What I want more than anything is a fix for the pmem/black screen/ghost menus bug.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] The Black Droid:
Camera flash won't work. Any ideas? It's not on the bug list...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWizKid95:
Can you elaborate on this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
After a day or so without a reboot, using apps will yield a black screen. The content is there, its just not displaying. Pulling a logcat will show that its out of memory/resources.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rom-Addict:
I get that to, havta hit home button to get off black screen

sent from dinc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Seems as though the battery life I was getting was pretty poor, I could see my battery ticking away when the screen was on and for some reason the battery stats showed the display taking 70-80%. Not quite sure why it's like that, and just on cm7. I'd definitely be interested in trying it again when the final release comes out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheWizKid95:
When this happens, would every other screen change show? Like if you hold the power button, the pop up would show, you would click reboot and nothing would happen, but you can still navigate it and reboot. Same with settings and apps right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Rom-Addict:
on mine,went to msg app was all black,held home to get back to home screen, then email again all black, home again. Held power, all black but buttons are there cause i stabbed at where reboot was & it rebooted.

This is a known issue and is being worked on. Its a 2.3.3 issue. Not CM7. People with stock Nexus One/S have the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
I'm not sure if this is part of your issue, but the auto-brightness transitions are an open bug with CM.

(Please star the issue, everyone. I'm hoping they haven't decided to let it slip to 7.1)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bucwylde23:
Is this when you can't see any menus but you can still press them? Or if you open an application and you get a black screen? I never said anything because it is hard to explain but i've seen this at least 3-4 times. The only fix for me was a battery pull.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mlawson:
Did you do a full wipe coming from another ROM to this one?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Finally, I've been waiting to do a long needed full wipe until the stable came out...been having alot of fcs and reboots on rc4, although its not rc4s fault, just some bug in my phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
Exactly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I never had this happen until recently... like over the past 2 weeks. But I've had it happen twice. I usually have my phone on for days at a time, sometimes up to a week. So its pretty rare for me. For me, its always related to Messages or Contacts. Either one will just display a black screen until I reboot, and in both cases I can't see the reboot dialog.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itch808:
There must've been more added changes because now it has bumped up to 3hrs until the next build.

I'm not getting any errors here, on my very thorough 20 minutes of testing so far... ;-p. Mounting is working fine for me (OSX 10.6.6). The aforementioned "build" is the one that already happened (#9). There won't be another one til tomorrow night, from what I see.

Just flashed #7 and it works beautifully. So worth rooting my DInc :D I am playing around with the settings and such. But I do have one question. Where is the Market?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HoochieCoo:
OK... So ROM Manager tells me 10 is ready, so I download it, but flash it via Recovery. It boots, and ROM Manager tells me 10 is ready. Runs just as good as #9. Whatevs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jes7er:
Just downloaded - took about a minute. Same with #7 the other night. What are you guys all complaining about with 90 minute download times?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpcdeux:
Can someone with cm7 do me a HUGE favor and search in the market for Hide It Pro (not the result that says Hide It Pro Key)? I need the app but never saw it with a gb rom. The second its there ill go back!

You need to flash at least the Gapps from the link in the OP to have the Market.

I haven't noticed anything unusual with gmail. Here's some screen shots of mine:

+1 here also
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cwoomer:
guys correct me if I'm wrong here but I believe that sms and mms are only sent using 3g. wifi will not send mms or sms. if you have 3g disabled when on wifi then this is why it won't send. when I'm on wifi and send mms our sms, my 3g icon appears just to send message then goes away again.

someone feel free to chime in here
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bradm23:
So was the person with the theme question a few pages back. I had installed the theme via recovery not using the theme Chooser. I am still alittle confused on how to reverse the changes in the dialer. I used root explorer to move a new phone apk to the app.folder in system, I installed that and it replaced the old one. However nothing really changed, the dialer still looks the same. I mostly do not like the people icons instead of the Droid Guy and the overall look of the dialer. How would I go about changing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Same here. Just tested it. However sms does not need 3g to be sent, just a signal. Wifi will not send either.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] LifTeD_JK:
I too get the black screen. I use cache cleaner all the time so I don't see how it can be a memory shortage. First time I noticed it was on the calender app, but now I've seen it on many others.

On a side note for the guy thats pulling his battery: I've stopped doing battery pulls and started using the 3 button reboot. Its power + vol down + track ball.

SMS only needs 1XRTT data to send. This is why you can send a text during a call but not MMS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AdhvanIt:
All of you that are running into this issue with the black screen thing...

Nightly#? Kernel? And mods/themes applied? And when was the last time you performed a data wipe?

Seems like there are a lot of you with the issue, has anyone reported it as a bug?

I realize data wipes are not necessary between nightlies, but your first step when you encounter issues. I clear data every time I run into problems-this has fixed virtually every issue I've had except the two that are known bugs.

Edit: just saw the link to bugtracker.. hmm

via CM7 Inc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] keith.mcintyre26:
This issue has happened to me on all nightlies since 2.3.3 was merged. I always do a full wipe and have used incredikernel and slayhers stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Menu > Settings > CM Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Edit other levels

The first and second columns (lower and upper) have to do with readings from the sensor. The third column is what you want the screen brightness to be. If you set every value in the third column to 255, it would mean that auto-brightness would just use max brightness at every level.

If you just want to bump all the stock levels up a little, that would be the easiest place to start before getting into a completely custom setup.

That only affects transitions: it does not limit screen brightness.

As others have noted, this is standard on all ROMs. The display is a huge battery drain.

Over the course of the last 15 hours, my Display is showing 50% for battery usage. The only reason it's even that low is because the screen has been off for most of the last 15 hours.

When you were watching the battery ticking away, what was the battery level? I.E. were you watching it tick away from 100% to 90%?

Whenever you're changing ROMs or kernels, it's a good idea to give your phone a few days before making any hard and fast judgments on battery life. Your phone needs to recalibrate.

Well, I doubt it will be "fixed" in the upcoming releases since it's not a documented bug. Only a small handful of people have reported any issue with MMS, and in all the cases I've read, it has been traced back to other causes besides CM7. The last person who reported issues was able to trace them back to the fact that he was restoring back-ups of all his old MMS.

Any chance someone can create me an installer to change the signal bar to 6 bars?

Also curious if anyone found a sure-fire way to change the system font relatively easily. I see all kinds of threads of people doing it so many different ways. Which way is right and which way works best?

Or better, can I just put the font on the drive somewhere and pick it?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] elpeterson:
when you say lockscreen mods. do you mean a fix for the AM/PM issue??

Also as an FYI to the auto brightness issues. Turning off the CRT Screen Off/On Animation will make the transitions smoother/quicker.

Showing a screen shot is a PITA for me right now, but i think i have a pretty awesome auto brightness setup. I've taken a look at a lot of peoples and made my own off of it. It saves on battery life too. So just PM me and Ill list or send a screen shot later
