Why is that when I flashed rc4 the mod version is dated 3-15-2011? Rc4 is a couple days old. Figured it out. Build.prop copy and paste. Duh!

Oops, wrong place to post.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
I know that is an option on HTC Sense. I don't remember seeing it in CM7, but someone please correct me if I'm wrong since it's been a while since I had CM 7 booted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Here's a solution to all: Get Tasker. It's expensive, but you won't regret it. You can do it on Tasker.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
You mean for the flip over silence thing?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
tasker also supports automation of cpu over/underclock and governor control on cm7 now. Haven't played with it yet other than to see it work, but it allows for some interesting possibilities...
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
+1 on this. Tasker can do almost anything. Its allowed me to eliminate several apps and ensures my phone does what I want it to and only when i want.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Is it capable of changing the Min & Max clock speeds and governor type based on whether BT is connected or a particular app is running?

build 35 is up...still see nothing regarding gps
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
I don't know if they're even working on the GPS issue that has not yet been listed on bug tracker. The person submitted the new GPS doesn't seem to maintain any of the MSM7227 devices.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:
So far seems like your test rom ladios is best one working with gps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I can confirm that GPS is still messed up on build 35, at least on my phone. Has me going backwards.

Anyone else having issues with Beautiful Widgets on this build? I can't get it to launch, force close every time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
yep...im still rocking out ladios's test rom cm7 rc2 kang with ladios kernal and gps works great. though i couldn't tell you what the kang part means but it's the only setup that works great. Also beautiful widgets runs smooth too. Im sure it will be a while before i get broken off of this rom being that there's bugs here and there with rc4 + nightlys after.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
About the widget, maybe it's also because the RTL thing: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4255

Try this rom: rtlfix-oldgps-cm-7.0.0-RC4-Liberty-KANG-signed.zip

md5sum: 313e1f28faf1b5382c049612bde592af

I just built it to test the RTL fix. It includes the new kernel, old gps libs, RTL fix (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4397, http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4398), and the AM/PM styles (not merged: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4298, http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4300)

I don't know what kang really means either. It automatically appends to rom zip file's basename when you build cm from source. It means custom build I guess.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Put your android homescreen tips widget on and it will tell you what kang is :)

Signatures are fancy.

Ahhhh... thanks. Tip 12 of 15 bro!! LOL.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
GPS fix? Mines been working flawless until rc4... now my directional arrow points the wrong way and I frequently lose a fix on my location. :/
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Yeah...I too am still rocking Ladios's test ROM...the battery life is killer sweet on it and everything works. I tried RC4 and everything was great except for the weird GPS problem and the battery life seemed to suck (compared to Ladios's ROM) Holding here until either Ladios's mods get integrated into the gerrit or the nightlies get better.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
thanks Ladios!!!! im going to try your test rom out. flashing......it's addicting. Downloading it right now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Ladios, so wifi and GPS on your rc4 kang rom is working good so far. Beautiful Widgets works too. Thanks buddy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] enewman17:
ladios

. does your rc4 kang have your test kernel already in it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
It does have the kernal included. I just checked and ladios mentioned it a couple posts back that he did.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
It's in the post above yours!

Ladios, your rom is working great but I still can't get Beautiful Widgets to load. Damn weird it is, never had a problem with this before. I'm gonna do some more testing.

Thanks for your effort.

UPDATE: Ok, I did a full wipe and flashed back to RC4 then flashed bkmo's GPS revert file. All is well including Beautiful Widgets. Not sure when or if they included the rtl fix in one of the nightlies, but it might be what is killing BW for me. If they did it must have been in build 35, I think 34 was fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] juggalofr33k:
Is it just me or in build 35 wifi doesn't turn on at boot? It has on every other build for me.

Thanks Ladios, your rc4 rom is working great, (rtlfix-oldgps-cm-7.0.0-RC4-Liberty-KANG-signed.zip)

I like the addition of the am/pm in the notification bar,

Although I never really thought battery life was bad to begin with, but I think you have a real winner with this kernel. Seems that battery drain is much improved over previous builds.

This kernel needs to be merged, gps libs needs to be reveted, till then I'm rock'n this! Thanks Ladios
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
I am running the Ladios RC4 as well and it is awesome. Ladios, could you add the AUFS module to this as well? Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
he already did in his kernel thread
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
Ladios rom is very accurate and snappy for GPS, wifi and screen rendering. Loving it. Please merge.

But I don't see anything in it that addresses the existing issues.

[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
No, we're actually going in reverse with the stability of the nightlies now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Jimmeh83:
I've noticed on the last few nightlies (currently 35) that when the phone rings the screen will not turn on to allow me to answer it for an extremely long time if at all.

It's quite a sporadic issue, but it has definitely caught me out 2 or 3 times so far since a while before RC4 hit.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I don't see pixelation - I see very thin lines that are meant to look faded/shadowed that probably don't look as good scaled to MDPI as they do on HDPI devices, where they are undoubtedly meant to exist.

No, the edges of those lines don't look crisp. I am not sure if they will ever be fixed.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
Flashed to build 6 and still can't get the GPS to work. It shows as on in the location settings but not seeing the indicator next to my wifi or cell level ones.

Tried GPS Status with no luck as well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
Could it possibly be a particular GPS chip revision that may be causing the inconsistent behavior. I have seen that happen with Mac hardware before.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
DATA is not always the same.

The software has to be properly installed (was clockwork started correctly? Is the image good?)

Everyone's environments are not the same. (Access points are not equal/everyone view of satellites differs, etc)

to level the playing field, wipe data/factory reset.

Early versions of liberty cm7 nightlies were not formatting system before install, which resulted in bad flashes that bootlooped and could corrupt data. I myself have had data corrupted between flashing updates in other situations for no explicable reason.

Wipe data/factory reset - flash

Wipe data/factory reset - flash

Wipe data/factory reset - flash

Wipe data/factory reset - flash

That's what levels the playing field and provides the best references.

Proper GPS operation is not just hardware and software. It's also data - AGPS data, and proper operation relies on acquiring and processing AGPS data - which requires solid network connections - when GPS is initialized.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
That may be my issue then.. my network connections have been flaky lately. Maybe I need to travel a little bit north to a 3G area and see if that helps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Edge or wifi should work. You need to be able to aquire and process the AGPS data when it's required.

now thats not nice attn1 -

i've been nothing but supportive to this group and you for that matter.

the aria isnt broken - the GPS does work w/ Stock and FR008 , its just wasnt working with version 0,4 or 6

I'll give 7 a try

I would think since there are many others that are also having the same issues with GPS you would take that into account.

PS: I like how the google apps install processing was changed between 4 and 6 - allowing the user to set up wifi first...
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
I did wipe/wipe/format/reflash today. Issue #1 and #2 above did get resolved.

I'm still not finding a non-broadcasting AP that has been functional for all other ROMs that I've tried (LAFR007, 8, Stock, and CM6). I did notice upon reflashing today that my AccessPoints were not wiped. Thought this was odd. Is there a mechanism for restoring APs that would be driven by the market?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rwelch:
I've been having the GPS problem also, now using build #6. Tomorrow I will wipe everything and see if another clean install fixes the issue.

Thank You to all of the developers. This alpha release seems to be working great, very stable.
[HTC Aria Android Development] seboj:
I'm also having a problem with the GPS - the only actual problem I've come across.

Reset & /system format back to CM6.1.1 and it works fine.

Reset & /system format to the initial build and nightly build 6, no GPS.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
Just did a fresh wipe and format of the system and still no luck with GPS will try build 7 tomorrow.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
I am not sure about a 'fastboot' , but I can tell you for sure - this version has the fastest PowerOff and PowerOn I have experienced.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
same here format back to fr008 gps fine, format to nightly 7 , still no GPS

Everything else working very, very well.

[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Fresh install (delete dalvik, cache partition, data; also a system format) of build #7 (as I switched back to CM6.1.1 after 4).

First thing I did was installed Google Maps, Google Street. Turned on GPS and Wireless Network Locations. Google Maps was able to load the area and pinpoint my location with both WiFi and 3G. Used the Street feature, was fine on both WiFi and 3G also.

Tested Navigation using WiFi (standing outside the building) and 3G to load the maps/directions to the nearest liquor store; I started a little jog. GPS was able to locate my location and give me directions with both networks. The only abnormality (from when I was using GPS on CM6.1.1) was that when using 3G, I had to turn off Wireless Network Locations setting off and ONLY use the GPS signal. Then it was able to find me; otherwise it would "find directions" indefinitely... well for 10 minutes as I was freezing my ass off outside (just wanted a quick test :P)

All in all, for my little test: GPS is working... for me at least.

LED notifications are still not working though. :(

EDIT: Just tested Navigation while inside a building also; found my location still and pretty fast o_O;
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
When you do this fresh install does it automatically load apps back to your phone? Mine does this and idk why... I think my GPS troubles might be a data issue bc of this. I'm not complaining... I don't use gps. I'm just trying to further the development
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
That's a google feature. You can disable it in the settings. I believe its under the privacy tab. I don't know if its related or not, but I always disable this feature and I never run into the rogue problems some people have. Or maybe I just got a lucky phone ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drjim:
And I've been off the grid for a few days. Who is Ladios, where did he come from, and why is his ROM seemingly much more stable than CM7 RC4?

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Not sure what its all about. Im not having any stability issues with the nightlies, and I didnt have any issues with RC4. I am using his kernel however, and I think thats the improvement. His Rom itself made absolutely no difference for me over the regular nightlies flashed with his kernel (I think it has the gps libs fix built into his ROM). His kernel, however, is amazing. Its running Super smooth, super quick with everything Ive flashed it over. DrowningChilds kernel is also very nice. I havent had any issues wit it either.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Can someone bring me up to speed about the battery life issue? I too was getting 2.5 days off a charge with 2G only and wifi always on with Liberated fr007 but less than a day with CM7.

What's causing this drastic drop in battery life and which kernels fix this? Are the fixes headed to main?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I can't speak for everyone but from my experience, around CM7 nightly build 11 or 12 the Android version went from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and this is where I noticed my biggest decline in battery life.

I have not seen anything to fix it but people are claiming they get better battery life using ladios's kernel flashed over CM7. I will find out tonight as I am now running CM7 nightly build 36 with ladios's kernel flashes over it.

Few questions

1. The ladios kernal, I have his rom but I read all about his kernal, how do I get it and how do I install it?

2. I have duplicates of my music but only one file, what can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
His ROM includes the kernel in it. Battery life and overall responsiveness is much higher on it. Nightlies have gone to ****; Ladios needs to be a CM Dev.

Sent from my CM7 Aria
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
+1 - Whether you use his complete RC4 ROM or choose to flash his kernel over the current Nightly, the results are impressive.

It's not a big deal to flash the kernel separately, but I'm a bit surprised it's taking so long to get this kernel into the official nightly releases. I also would have thought that after a week now, the screwy gps libs that seem to have been an April Fools joke and point you in the wrong direction, would have been replaced with the ones we already had that worked correctly. Yea, I've replaced the gps libs with the ones that work correctly, but it's just another unnecessary, time consuming process, if your trying to flash and test the nightlies on a daily basis.

None of the above should be taken as a complaint, the development of CM7 has been great. I'm just expressing my observations and opinions.

:o
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
As far as I can tell, the only difference between ladios rom and the reg cm7, other than the kernel obviously, is that his has the old GPS libs. The nightlys, as you put it, have NOT gone to ****. Ive been flashing almost every nightly and have yet to see any issues other than navigation. Sure some people are having issues. But there are always a few people that have issues with every release, even stable releases. This predates cm7, its just a part of the custom rom community. I've seen a handful of people mention issues on every release they try. But out of the thousands of people using the rom that dont have these problems, that number would indicate to me that the problems most likely lie in the hardware, not the software. I bought my aria within a couple weeks of release and gave never had a single issue with it that wasn't a known bug. Maybe parts quality went down as production went on? Idk. The reason you won't see fixes for the issues of a few random people is that the issues don't lie in cm7. From what I can tell, it seems like there is a pretty specific group of people that continually have issues, while others do not.

[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
+1 on the kernel being pushed. His kernel should definitely be committed to cm7. Or atleast the kernel version. Drowningchild uses the same kernel and its also working beautifully. And gps libs def need to be reverted.

Sent from my cm7 Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
See, you keep referencing thousands of people who supposedly are on the nightlies not having problems. I think it'd be fair to say that a majority of the people who mod their Aria (a niche market) to the point of putting CM7 on it are active on XDA/CM world. So, it'd also be fair to say that a majority of people are, in fact, having issues. Ever since Build 11, my battery life, WiFi, GPS, and overall responsiveness has dipped drastically. I have never had the amount of stability I had on CM6.1.1 until I flashed Ladios's ROM. In addition to using old GPS drivers, it also uses WiFi drivers and it's tweaked so slightly for better performance (visit his thread). In addition, his kernel has fixed the battery life issues that people have suffered. It's not my hardware, it's the fact that CM7 nightlies/RCs have degraded to the point of lack of usability; you seem to be the minority that isn't facing GPS/WiFi/performance problems. Ladios's ROM is a gigantic step-up. I mean, okay, two pages back someone said they were downgrading to CM6.1.1. When people are downgrading, there is a serious problem.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
For the record Ladios is a CM dev. He is a contributor to CM7. He submitted the kernel changes a while back to code review, but I never saw anyone approve them for committal.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Oh, I didn't know that. Well, he has fixed all my problems, so the CM team really should take note of his kernel/minor fixes on CM7.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ARMarlowe:
All right, that's good to know about his rom having the kernel.

Thanks to you all who answered that.

however, there was one more question, not nearly as important, but has anyone had the problem of duplicate music and how did they fix it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
I haven't seen anyone post a similar problem, but if it was me, I'd start by deleting your (known) music folder and then start the player and see if it still finds music files. (you might have duplicate files on your SD card that you're not aware of.

Obviously, backup your music files before you delete the music folder.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tedkunich:
You can place me in the camp with relatively few issues with CM7 (on nightly 35 right now). If anything, I have noticed a slight increase in battery life over over CM6 and FR builds. I have never seen any lag or other performance hits you speak of (other than a few minutes after a restart) - the only laggy part of this phone, is the camera - takes forever to autofocus and take the picture, but I can live with it as it is not my primary camera.

T
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Keep in mind that a majority of people only post when they have a problem. If you go back through the posts of who's having problems its the same people posting in multiple cm7 related threads about their problems. Ill bet of you go back to the recent nightlys the number if people posting that's its unuseable is 10 or less. Hardly a majority. Certain phones just don't play well with certain drivers for whatever reason. People have said they had to step back to cm6/fr008 since cm7 arrived. Its nothing new.

The wifi drivers have been fixed for a while. Jznomoney submitted those a while ago and they were merged. Again, people had problems either way while others have never had a wifi issue. Same goes for GPS, some had problems, some didn't. As a matter of fact, the GPS libs in ladios rom ate the old ones people were having trouble with. The new ones work, with exception of an orientation problem in navigation. Which is still better than no GPS at all.

This is not to take anything away from ladios. His kernel is amazing and should be merged. Its tge kernel in using. But at the same time there is really nothing wrong with the current cm kernel. Its not as zippy and the battery life seems to be a little better. But that doesn't make the cm kernel garbage. I can flash ladios kernel over any nightly and everything is kosher. I'm on 36 and it's perfectly stable. There are absolutely no useability issues I'm seeing.

Well this is my second aria because a few days ago I smashed the screen on it and rooted my new one with ease and have had no problems with either one with anything from cm7 I have loved it and still do I agree that some problems are hardware but sometimes it is from flashing and maybe not wiping cache or dalvik and with people changing the build.prop that gives more chance for people to unnoticably make a misteak or not rezip correctly cause problems anywhere along the line
