I suppose I've been lucky. I haven't had any issues with wifi or GPS. Started on build 8 (the original) that was my first fast of cm7. There were a few nightlys that had some horrible data issues. But so far 17 & 18 (recent) has been rock solid. And I switched from DT a2sd to s2e on 18 and everything is good. I love my little aria, but I've got my eye on that inspire. This really is a fine piece of hardware.

[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I didn't have any luck with the GPS on 17. Did 2 GPS /nandroid fixes but didn't stick. Went back to rc2, which works great. I wonder what's different with 18? And also noticed its a smaller file size than 17. Anyways, yes. S2e is a great app!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I cant seem to get the build to apply , i have tried 3 times now and it always shows mod version from 7-03122011-Nightly .... and a 2.6.32.17 on the kernel -

anyone else?
[HTC Aria Android Development] bikedogrun:
Isn't that what it should be?

So - yes; that is what mine is too and as I was coming from RC2 and not NB17... unless the download was labeled incorrectly, it must be correct, no?

That Inspire does look sweet. One of my coworkers got it and it's niiiice. I looked over the root/flash process for it and it looks to be a complete pita compared to our Aria's.
[HTC Aria Android Development] terces:
Finally got the Aria this weekend due to the AT&T merger with Alltel; came from an HTC Touch Pro with a cooked ROM that lasted me well.

I have nightly build #18 on now and am loving it, but I might have made a boo-boo and I've spent way too much time trying to resolve it (but that's good as then I learn).

The effects on the home screens have seemed to go missing; the original effects are those lines racing across the screen. I just put on the Tron Legacy theme and that has no animations either.

I have tried to reset ADW Laucher, tried the new free version and also bought the EX version... still no animations (though I do like the 3D window transistions of EX).

I noticed I lost these animations after I selected a new theme in Theme Chooser under apps... I now realize I was supposed to change themes in ADW Settings. I have it back to System (default) in Theme Chooser but no go. What is the Theme Chooser and how does it differ from ADW Launcher's themes?

Any idea on how to restore the animations back?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Build 18 is running sweet but it is the first in a long run of nightlies where my GPS will not lock on.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Ehm... yeah xD you are! (tested here, FM radio + GPS works fine)

Those are not "animations", that's called "Live Wallpapers". Try searching for fixes under that term.

Great will do; thanks.

I've got a weird behavior on the latest nightlies

"My Apps" in the market doesn't recognize all of my applications

There are a bunch of them installed but missing from the updates availability

Any one encountered it?

(Tried also Market enabler without success)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Anyone else having double songs on their music player?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Download the appbrain market app from the market and use it to sync your apps. Other than that you just have to manually redownload the ones with broken links.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bigfoot7375:
Yes...

Try to backup playlist and restore it (helped me few times...)

Thanks!

I'll try that (hopefully, it'll help)

Just one question - why it happens?

On previous nightlies it didn't had any problems (I always do a full wipe before installing, so why the different behavior?)
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Easiest way to fix this is to go into Settings --> Applications --> All --> Market, and clear the market data.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Not sure why. I suppose its data that just gets lost in mix when you do a wipe. Its happened to me a few times as well. You can try using titanium to force a link by detatching and reattaching the apps that have broken links back to the market (long press the app in titanium for the menu). Time consuming and it doesn't always work for me though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bigfoot7375:
Tried it already with no success
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:

Anyway - Both the WiFi Hotspot as well as tethering are working great here!

[HTC Aria Android Development] whynot_:
I flashed mine several times and it still reads cm7-03122011-nightly-liberty, so my question is does 18 say 03132011, or am i just missing something?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
Yes 18 reports mod version 031122011-nightly.

18 is running flawlessly for me without any addition kernel changes or ext3 mods. Hotspots, GPS, wireless detection, battery life. Even my build upgrades have gone flawlessly since I started at build 11 and incremented every one including rc1 and rc2
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
Ok, as soon as I read that someone was having GPS problems, I checked to see if mine was working. It was not. I was also noticing that the wifi was disconnected-ing when I turned off the screen.

So I nandroid restored back to 17 and all is back to normal.

PS. Not sure if anyone else noticed but the liberty nightly is not on the TD mirrors page, even though it is under liberty. Maybe its got issues?

Banging cm7-night's 17
[HTC Aria Android Development] whynot_:
There is a setting that allows the wifi to turn off when the screen goes out. I set mine to run that way to help conserve battery when I'm not using it. It is kinda funny how some aria's are OK with the gps and some are not. Seems strange as you think it would be something across the board and not just random happenings. Makes me wonder if there is an app/theme/etc. at play. As far as the mirror page your using, not sure here is where I DL from. http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly&device=liberty same one?????
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/

That's were I've been going for awhile.

But yes there's a good chance it was my fault that 18 didn't have GPS working properly. Now that I'm back on 17 it works. So idk?

I did try factory wipe,cashe wipe,dalvak wipe,format system and install cm18 nightly. Just to see if GPS would work , but no go. I did not try wiping every thing, and flashing cm6 and restore nand but only because my 14nb to 17nb went smoothly ...

But like I say, I noob often and badly :)

[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
I discovered an oddity today that a reboot did not fix as it returned. My GPS says it is on, on the top status bar... even if I turn GPS off in settings, which Google maps agrees GPS is unavailable when off. So it seems like its an artifact rather than a real indication of activity or availability.

Btw on 18. This first apeared with 18.

[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
The format system step was only for the very early nightlies because there were booting issues. It was found to cause GPS issues and is no longer recommended (or necessary).
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
Thank you.

Tried again, wiped cashe/dalvik and installed.

GPS is working. That's with out wifi on or mobile data on.

The status bar indicator is only showing when maps is running.

But it works.

Banging cm7-night's 18
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
That's the thing about the GPS, turning it on doesn't mean its actually active. Its only actually on when an app is using it. I just leave mine toggled on because the only I have configured to use it is maps/navigation. That way i can use 'wheres my droid' should i ever leave my phone somewhere. GPS doesn't actually use any battery while dormant.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Along with what CallMeAria said, i think it's safe to say you're wrong.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DougG_ATL:
Wow...did not know this! I'm leaving my GPS toggled on from here forward.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I have been doing a full wipe and flash of every CM7 Nightly for quite a bit now, 18 is the first one for me where GPS would not lock since build 4 or so. I have not changed my phone setup or apps for at least 4 builds. 18 is not ok as far as GPS goes, at least on my phone and a few others from the looks of it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
It looks like some sort of a GPS fix may be coming in the next nightly.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Good to hear. Now if we could just get the increased battery drain under wraps life would be good.(I suspect that is due to Android 2.3.3 not this rom)
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
I'm back on 17, the GPS only worked once on 18. Format system has never created problems for me. My 14 to 17 jump, I just flashed, no wipe and it worked.

[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
While Android has gotten pretty good at managing memory, to the point that auto task killers apps are not needed and cause more problems than they solve, we still get eaten alive by crap running in the background that starts at boot.

It's great that everyone is tweaking minimum clock speeds to optimize battery life, but when you have a bunch of unneeded apps running in the background, they are going to constantly keep ramping up the cpu which chews up the battery.

I'm doing pretty good in terms of battery life, but when I boot the phone, I go into applications and force stop all the background apps that I don't need on a regular basis.

What I'd love is a widget that I could set up with a Force kill/stop list of apps that I only seldom use.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Isn't that basically what a task killer does? Won't the apps just restart?

Prior to nighly 11(think this is where 2.3.3 came in) I could take my phone off the charger at 10PM and still have 50 to 60% battery left when I got home the next day at 6PM. Now on the 2.3.3 builds I'm at 10% battery by 6PM next day.

Did some hunting and it seems to be the case in multiple roms on 2.3.3.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
I am still running Nightly 14 since it is causing me no problems and my battery life is now great, but I had to do two things: 1. Let my battery go completely dead and then recharge and reset the battery stats. 2. G0t rid of my CPU tuning app and just use the CPU tuning ability built into the Performance Settings of CM7. My settings are 245 mhz minimum and 787 maximum with the Ondemand governor.

Life is better than when my Aria was stock.

I have found that a CPU tuning app is just one more service running in the background to sap battery life.

I also check Running Applications often to kill some service that pop up such as Maps which I am not using (I guess Maps does this because it is tied into Location Services?).

Overall performance and battery life with 2.3.3 > 2.1, 2.2, & 2.3
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Try Autorun Manager. It stops a bunch of the apps from running in the background at startup. It really cleaned things up for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
No, a task killer will kill the app temporarily, and the the app will restart on its own, ie. Maps, Gallery, etc. But, if you go into Menu, Settings, Applications.... and Force Stop the above apps, they won't start again unless you start start them manually.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
I'm using Watchdog Lite to monitor CPU usage as well as stop things that I desire. It's a very nice app
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
This is FAR from an issue, more like a curiosity, why doesn't the time inside the clock app use text? It looks like clockopia, but if you change clockopia to something else, it still looks like real clockopia even though the lockscreen font changes?

Does that make sense?

I'm running a hacked up sense 2.2.2 based system, but basically I'm running my kernel the same way you describe above (245 min, 768 max, ondemand gov), but I hard-coded it into the kernel. I find this seems to work out the best for me for optimal battery life.

GPS is not working in 21 for me
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
I have run most every nightly and never had a gps problem, usually getting a location lock in 3-7 seconds. I found it notable that it took almost a minute to get a lock in my usual place today on 21. But it did get eventually a lock. All subsequent locks have been in the 10 second range. This is a bit longer than usual.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
When testing the GPS do u leave the wireless networks on or do u just leave GPS checked!?
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
I leave wireless and GPS on all the time although my test area does not have wireless available.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Yea because when I leave wireless networks on I get a lock on 5 to 7 seconds but when I have just GPS checked I don't get a lock on
[HTC Aria Android Development] ARMarlowe:
what app are you using when you test the gps? Google maps? GPS Status tells you how fast (time to fix) and how accurate it is (meters or feet). among other things

the news and weather app uses gps, and you get a lock like that? Try using gps status or google maps, those tell you exactly where you are and don't (usually) need data

Hey all:p I have 4 captivates running in my household, all are running different ROM's:eek: My youngest daughter loves her ARIA and I just repaired her broken screen and I'm ready to try and root this one:confused:

It has become so easy to root and unroot a Cappy. I read several of the first pages of this ROM. Several mid forum and the last few. Is it any more simple to root this since the start or is the methods shown (TheUnlockr) still standard issue? If so, I guess I'm to spoiled to know better. Starting with, as simple as, loading the android usb drivers. How do you know if they've installed? As I read it the next step to rooting would be getting into cwm recovery but when I vol.dn/pow It still goes to the same screen I saw when I tryed installing the drivers. I knwo I had to miss a BIG step! Help please?

Just installed Nightly #23 and no change with the Bluetooth address. Is there a cache file I need to delete? Before installing I delete the system cache and the Dalvik cache and then install the nightly. Does it matter if the Dalvik cache is on the SD card when deleting in recovery? :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yes, if it's been moved to an ext partition, the dalvik won't get deleted (wiped) when you do a wipe dalvik. If you've got enough room, I suggest moving dalvik back to internal before beginning the wipe & flash process.
[HTC Aria Android Development] wdavis0911:
Moved the Dalvik cache back, cleared the cache and re-installed the nightly #23. Bluetooth address has not changed.

Not end-of-the-world but it would be nice to not have to turn off bluetooth when in my wife's car etc.

Thanks for the Dalvik clarification.

Installed nightly 23 and I can't seem to authenticate with google either through wifi or cell data. Anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
There haven't been any recent Nightly changes, that I see, merged & released at this point that would fix this issue. You can see what's changed with each release HERE.

As an FYI, the release of a new Nighlty at this point, doesn't mean that there are any significant changes in the new release that apply to your model phone.

IMO, Nighlty 21 was the last noteworthy update for the Aria, and if you are a WiFi user, you may want to try the ROM below which is based on N-21. It dramatically improves WiFi performance as well as fixes the hidden SSID problem. I expect these changes will get incorporated into the Nightlies pretty quickly.

[HTC Aria Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
All's copasetic w/ cm7 works like a champ. I have asked the following questions in and around CM7 and haven't gotten a clear understanding of the issue, nor the fix (if any). When the phone is turned off it doesn't seem to really shut down all the way. Is this my imagination? I aslo have an issue w/ shut down and charging through USB. Why do I get thrown into cwm? The second question is the one that really baffles me. I'm told don't worry "leave the phone on and charge it" or, "just use the wall charger". Neither one of these comments fix the issue, nor explain why they exist. Finally if there is no fix, is there an ARIA ROM that does not have this happen?

I once again reiterate, this is my 14yo daughters phone. Things aren't as simple as "don't charge it this way, or "you can only do it this way".
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
When the batts real low and you charge, it puts you into recovery. Don't know why. It pissed me off at first, but then I wouldn't let my battery get so low before I charged

Sent from my Liberty
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
It has been answered... multiple times. It seems you just do not want to accept that. But let me explain it again.

The stock recovery that came with your phone included the charging battery icon. Your phone would boot into that when it was off and plugged in (USB to a computer or a wall, does not matter). Because of your phone booting on again, even if it was not to your home, it is never truly off to begin with when charging.

It is not the ROM that is throwing you into ClockworkMod. When you root the phone, you also install CWM, a custom RECOVERY. This replaces the old recovery on your phone to allow you to flash custom updates to your phone. Because the charging battery icon was part of the original recovery... ding dong, it got replaced. Thus, it is not the ROM's fault but the fault of the root.

It's not an issue. It's not a problem. It's what happens when you root. The only known fix to it is to flash the original stock RUU to gain the original recovery. This allows you to 1) have your battery icon back, 2) not flash custom updates, and 3) return back to the Eclair 2.1 build (or Froyo 2.2 build, whichever RUU you attain).
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I don't know what else to tell you, you've posted this same question in at least a 1/2 dozen threads and received many answers, none of which seem satisfactory for you. Sorry, but I fail to understand your obsession with the necessity to power off the phone while charging it, if you don't want it to ring or receive data while charging just put it in Airplane mode.

Since the phone is to be used by a 14yo, why are you messing with custom software to begin with, and why not just revert it back to stock 2.1 Sense and be done with it?

As fragile as the Aria's digitizer is, I suspect in the hands of a 14yo, the phone will have a relatively short life anyway. ;)

Really??? Not a problem on a Captivate running CyanogenMod 7 for Captivate (Gingerbread 2.3.3)

See previous

Not really. If you are trying to say it's purly an ARIA thing ok but you're throwing this out there like it's everywhere!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
This is true on most HTC devices that have ClockworkMod installed, not just the Aria. That is the point that is trying to be made. By replacing the stock HTC Recovery with ClockworkMod recovery, you lose the battery charging icon screen.

If CWM doesn't cause this issue on the Samsung Galaxy S, then perhaps you should get your daugther a Captivate instead.
