Ok so im on RC1 if i go to nightly 8 will i have to wipe fully? or can i just wipe cache and update?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache and update.

man, i love these nightlies. reminds me of installing leaked OS' on my old blackberry 9700.... good night, sweet prince ='(

Yeah #8 nightly is a #win.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I was getting FC's at one point on nightly 7 they got worse and worse until I reboot. I tried fixing permissions after I got the FC from messaging, and frameworks before the bootloop. No help. Then I got major bootloopage lol. So I reflashed and I am currently going to try and charge it for a really long time to see if I can calibrate the battery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
I know I will feel totally stupid for asking this, but where in the camera do you change the settings for quality? I have tried every thing, it is probably starring me right in the face.

Thanks

Edit: I'm nightly #8
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
The option areas are scrollable, I didn't notice that until I accidentally slid my finger a bit when looking for more settings lol.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Are you talking camera menu / Advanced options? I am not finding anything scrollable.

Advanced options is scrollable, but nothing about quality, just Volume Shutter, Search Shutter, Volume Zoom, and Focus settings.

And nothing scrollable on the camera preview screen.

EDIT: Never mind, Like I said I feel stupid now. LOL found it.

The advanced menu I was talking about is if you are in the camera app and press the menu button, there is an advanced options area.

What I was looking for was changing quality, and to do that you press little settings icon. You will see it on the preview screen of the camera in the upper right. If you press it, it shows Focus Mode and Exposure. You can drag that screen up and down to get other settings.

Edit: Added Screen Captures

I have a version 7 nightly on the phone. I just tried flashing the new version 8. Both just installing then trying cache and dalvik cache wiping and my phone still shows version 7. Am I doing something wrong? Does version 8 accidentally show version 7?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Where are you checking at?

I go to Settings / About Phone

and under Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7-02262011-NIGHTLY-glacier

Which is Nightly 8, If you are referring to the "CyanogenMod-7" being build 7, nope, go by the date.

the 7 there is the Version not which nightly number

Oh, ok. Thanks alot. It flashed fine then.

Genius (Search) button question.

When I press the Genius (Search) button, it does nothing. How do I get it set to open Google Search App.

On long press, it will pop up with a few options I can set it to for long press, but can't get it to do anything on short press.

Thanks.

Never really played with it on previous builds. On Nightly #8 now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You can do that in applications settings.

Good to hear H speed is good. Guess Ill flash 8 and see how it is.

Edit: just flashed. So far it does seem smoother. H speed is faster for me at my house where I always got below 1mbps. Getting ~1.8now dl
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Ok, was playing in CyanogenMod Settings and found under "Input" there is a "Search key behaviour" (should be behavior, but oh well) where you can set a custom search key app and a search key long press app. I have never been in that setting before, but the custom search app was checked and NO custom app selected, so it just did nothing.

On a side note, if you install the Genius app from TrueBlue_Drew, you don't need to use the "Button Shortcut" app any longer to set long press.

Hey has anyone been having problems with google voice in CM7 and CM7 Nightly. I can get to where it says press next to setup google voice number than it just force closes. I've tried re-flashing CM7 but no luck. Any ideas, the devs might wanna look into this.

Unlikely that I'll go back to one of the other mods now that I'm on GB with cm7, but I do miss one feature of the DHD port I was running until recently. I miss the linking of contacts from separate sources. The biggest thing I miss about that is the automatic updating of contact photos from facebook. That may seem silly, but I was wondering if other folks know of a way to accomplish this?

ADW Ex NUKED

Hmmm I guess ill share it anyways not sure what happened. So this morning I flashed NB#8 as I always do on top of previous build which is mounted on top of previous build, you get the pix without full wipe. Now I always use ADW Ex as I remove stock ADW from CM7. Now the ROM installation went flawlessly as it has been for ages with setting already applied and some flashed manually along with backup restored for things that don't stick.

So everything is working fine normal as it should so I reboot (3-4 successful reboot since installation). BOOM ADW Ex FC and keep on FCing in loop so by then I try to restart via power button and it FC again and covers the power option so I can't select nothing. So I keep closing FC notice and keep trying hit reboot which I never able to hit as it always get buried under FC message. So finally I got to select the reboot option after few fast tries and now I can't hit the OK button as more FC message buried it so after few more tries I finally got it to reboot.

So I go back in and same thing as I get hit with numerous FC messages by this time I didn't wanna go though all that BS as I just simply took the case and battery cover off and did battery pull. I rebooted in to recovery and did cache wipe, dalvik and fix permission and reboot, as I go back I see same BS all over again so by now I am pissed as I never do backup as I never needed it before. So I had enough and I finally did full system wipe and nuked it all.

I am back now with most of the BS setting restored thank god for once Google's SkyNET came in handy :P and most other things I had to manually install and restore. So has this happened to anyone with ADW Ex or any other launchers?

After a while of flashing, without full wiping, things can get weird. Eventually, u will have to do a clean install.

Has anyone with a sprint evolution had problems with 4g, my friend wants me to root and install cm7 on his, I only know mytouch, evolution boards don't seem to have the info...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pinoyz:
I actually had that same thing happen to me. I set ADW EX as the default instead of the normal ADW and when it started up, it was FCing like yours was. Managed to get it to reboot and I went into recovery, picked a Nandroid backup that didn't have the ADW EX as the default launcher. After the Nandroid was done, I went into recovery again and flashed Nightly #8 and all is well, no more FC for the ADW EX but I didn't set ADW EX as the default launcher either.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kambiz.aghaiepour:
Sorry to reply to myself. But I thought I'd share. I ended up using syncmypix to snag my facebook pictures and autoupdate my contact photos. Currently using call one, but I'm considering using acontacts. Anyone have any experience or opinions on these alternate contacts and dialer apps ?

Batt sucks again on 8! Been watching it drop from 100 to 86 in no more then 30 min, maybe 45 min. Back to 38

I have just been texting...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
I fixed my battery issue in all nightlys by training the battery. its not the rom folks. A quick fix is to charge full, unplug, turn off (must have stock recovery) plug in, wait til light turns green, unplug, redo the plug in and out 10 times. Unplug, boot up. I'm still on 5 and got 80% after 5 hours of good use that includes bluetooth streaming of pandora onto my car navi, facebooking, texting, ect
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
LOL I use to actually do that with MP1300mAh battery for HD2. But stock 1400mAh on MT4G is decent with right resource management wait till I get MP1650mAh stock size for MT4G. ATM every NB I flash I wipe the battery stats.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Stock recovery? How do I get that back if I have the latest Clockwork?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
This is the same exact rom as my ****y battery life without wiping battery stats, just training it.

I even turned screen brightness back On and background data back On.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
What do you mean? CWM2.X (Green)? If you are using CWM 3.0.0.5 then you don't need to as you can apply green/orange based flash.

EDIT: But if it makes you feel better look at the bottom you will see All CWM Recoveries in Rom Manager and select 2.5.1.2 and you can go back, IDK why you want to but anyways.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
I downloaded it from jwhipple's thread, extracted it, and flashed via terminal.

Any clockwork will not let you accomplish this because if you plug the phone in while its off it boots.

I use launcher pro, every time I power on it force closes once, then smooth sailing.

Also. I still can NOT get email to work on my MT4G.. any idea's? I might just wipe my phone tonight. lol. it worked on Nexus One and I titanium restored everything and it doesn't work now. I've tried everything from uninstalling the email.apk and still can't get email to work. It's Yahoo btw.

oh and the MYTouch 4G with it's 4G speeds here in vegas is blowing up the speedtest results for me. I did this last night.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
It is a known issue with CWM 3.0.0.5, To charge with power off, you have to use Stock Recovery.

See TrueBlue_Drew's thread here, It's how I have mine set up and it works great

As for the email, not sure, I don't use the stock app, I use Enhanced Email from the market.

It's actually an issue with all aftermarket recoveries right now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
What was that process for helping boost the batt? I read it here but dont remember what page it was on.

EDIT: Just tried going to the 2.5.1.4 recovery and it said an error occurred but does not tell me anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
You do realize that zip tricks Rom Manager by making it think the stock recovery is the 2.5.1.4 recovery. So you have to flash it, and it does the rest for you.

Edit: By "does the rest" I mean, you have the stock recovery to train your battery correctly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
Not trying to be as ass, but what the hell did you just say? zip tricks rom manger ... so you have to flash it, and it does the rest for you....

Not following... sorry.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Haha, its all in the thread. It will make sense in the end.

Basically it flashes two files that will work with Rom Manager, one containing the new CWM recovery, and the stock recovery. Once you flash that file, you can flash the "2.5.1.4 recovery", but it really would be the stock recovery. Then you can drain, and train your battery. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I already have the latest clockwork. When I try to select 2.5.1.4 from "all clockworkmod recoveries" and then hit ok, that is when the error occurs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Just use fastboot or terminal to flash recovery, it's not hard.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
I hate being a noob, however. I know how to use them both except for the commands.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Its not hard, I know, but when you are away from home and you want to train your battery, this is a good solution. PLUS, its very easy to do once you have done it, it removed the need for a computer when you want to do it, its just 4 steps, open Rom Manager, flash stock recovery, drain battery, charge.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jentzschman2000:
So I just flashed that zip from the thread. It worked now.

Thanks guys. But what was the process to train the batt? I saw the steps here but cant remember where?

Drain till it wont turn on anymore(while you are on stock recovery), then charge for 13 hours +, then boot, flash CWM, then erase battery stats while in CWM recovery.

Whats bad, is thats better then my home wifi :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I don't believe the ROMs or builds have ANYTHING to do with network speeds.

I have had consistently the same speeds since the Stock ROM through Iced Glacier, CM6 RC's, and CM7 from the Alphas, Previews, Nightlies up to the RC, and now #8. My speeds at home have been in the low 5's for downloads and 1.7 upload through all of them.

I have found that the ROMs DO impact WiFi speeds and strength (how fast the signal degrades as you move away from the router) - but NOT Network performance. That is all a function of where you are located and what is going on with TMo.

On the llatter, very little varibility where I am, which is not a heavy use area on their system. I have noticed variability when I am in large metro areas, where bandwidth can be overloaded and of course speeds go down.

So I just ran speedtest.net on my phone and only show around 500kbps download on wifi? Is that normal or is there something wrong. The same speedtest run on my laptop shows 13.8Mbps download. This doesn't seem right.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
This is about the best I've gotten on wifi on the phone, I can get 13.8 Mbps on the laptop. Also, why does my wifi signal strength constantly fluctuate between good and poor when I'm setting less than 10 feet away from the router. I've actually had it drop wifi reception in the next room before. The laptop shows 100% excellent signal all over my house, so it's got to be something with the phone.

Here's the speedtest
[myTouch 4G Android Development] inkling:
For what it's worth, editing build.prop reduced my upload and download speeds by approx. 1/4 (download went from 4.5ish to 3.5ish)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 99danman:
Same over here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Here's after changing the build.prop settings, it's a little better but far from full speed.

Here's the computer test.

What speed is wifi limited to? Obviously the phone is not limited to 6Mbps because plenty of other people have posted speeds higher than that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
yea I did the speed test w/o edits and those where my speeds. so I think its something with the build that gave me the high speeds not the edit.
