I hope everythings alright in nightlyland. Getting kind of worried :D

Although my phone running 260 has been pretty solid.

I had to go to the AT&T store for something today and was looking around at what's new. I'm due for an upgrade in February. Thinking about the Galaxy S II or the Captivate Glide. But we'll wait and see what (inevitably) will come out in the next two months. Also looking where the development is at.

For a small, not-so-popular phone, the Aria has a fantastic development community, even long after its shelf life. I'm hoping to find that kind of love in my next phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
Ya I keep checking out the HTC Vivid forums to see if they can find a permanent root for it and bootloader unlock. Seems ATT/HTC is really making it more difficult with the newer devices.

CM7 Nightly - Update Status

For those that are wondering about the future of CM7 nightly builds;

The full post is HERE

:(
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Not that I'm chomping at the bit to get a stable release, but it would be sensible, I think, to at least complete the build that was in the works - what with all the modifications in there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
+1 - The last nightly is running fine for me, but there's a bunch of pending changes since 260, not to mention all of the changes since the last Stable. The statement "There very well may be another stable release" kind of leaves me feeling that CM7 has been sort of abandoned before it's finished. :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
This is the same path they followed with cm6 as well. They stopped making nightlies before the last stable was completed. Then they never released a stable/final. It looks like nightly 260 is the end of the road. Especially since we are getting no CM9 love either.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
It would make sense to do one more stable CM7 release and for some reason I think they will.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
where is the stock gps?

do i just flash it over top of my n260?

wouldnt lock the other day.

What was the last 2.3.5 nightly?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Not sure about 2.3.5 but the last 2.3.7 was #260.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dustinhayes93:
I'm gonna to to build the latest cm7 soon
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Tumble weed blows by..........man ooh man its been slow show here. Been on n260 with gps stock zippy from ladios for like a month and steady without flashing anything else and its been great and totally stable. Thanks for the best stable- battery efficient stable ROM Eva! I've managed to get my fix by rooting friends Evo & captivate and putting cm7 on them and they love it. Sweet
[HTC Aria Android Development] dustinhayes93:
Hopefully ill have it by tomorrow. The source is almost dl'd but ill have to build it after school tomorrow. Hopefully I can bring weekly builds...
[HTC Aria Android Development] syed239:
Well 1: Im running build 8. I dont know if you are

and 2: I changed the settings in voice.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
im running 8 and i also have notfications on for google voice

Edit: Just had my girlfriend text my GV number and still nothing for LED & gmail also has no LED notifications

Edit2: LED is green for google voice, only pulses when the screens off
[HTC Aria Android Development] syed239:
I dont know about Gmail but the Voice one should light up. Have her text again, but this time leave your screen off.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tacitapproval:
Mistake, sorry.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
see the edits i did to the post it indeed is green. odd?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Spotty trackball wake, GPS won't work, and the compressed images are the only issues I notice in CM7. Although my GPS didn't work on 6.1.1 either, though. :P
[HTC Aria Android Development] seboj:
For those of you having battery issues, have you wiped battery stats from clockwork and re-calibrated?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
i see the messed up trackball wake is only when you let the screen time out or just generally when its plugged in

Compressed pictures u mean the pixelated checkboxes etc?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
How do you calibrate it? I've seen a few different ways. And what would happen if you just wiped the battery stats?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Red is not supported by the Aria. We have amber (which can look orange-ish) and green. The colors are what they are - and are not likely to be swapped.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Just let my screen time out, trackball wake worked for me
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, not with lithium-ion batteries. Full discharges can damage them.

There is a lot of bs folklore out there about calibrating and maintaining batteries.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
It's only SUPPOSED to pulse when the screen is off.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
That's what I thought. So don't worry about calibrating it? What about wiping battery stats?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Ooohhh... I see we're at 2.3.2 now :)

CM settings also look different.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
I think what he's trying to say is don't let it turn itself off. I usually charge mine when it reaches under 5%.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FEGuy:
Went straight from Liberated FR08 to nightly build 8 with no issues, just flashed up to 9. Haven't noticed any issues so far, although I'm still kind of adjusting to using a non-Sense ROM. GPS worked as well as it did before, no problems there. Did notice that when the default mail app added a notification the LED didn't start flashing, although I can't recall if it used to anyways.
[HTC Aria Android Development] syed239:
Sorry for this question(new to cm), but what's a dock??

Nightly 260

Have been on Nightly 260 since it was posted. Only issue was GPS lock and was easily resolved reading other posts in this thread.

Have had no battery or data issues. All apps work as advertised.

Very content and consider it stable and can stay here as a final release in my opinion.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Yeah...I did that a couple weeks back and wound up reverting to n260. Had some weirdness going on with my networks.

I've been getting my fix with my HP Touchpad. Running a CM7 based rom on it and man is it nice.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
wow, still no nightly.

luckily i've been keeping myself busy with my galaxy tab 10.1 32 GB. rooted it, and installed a bunch of apps/games, but haven't really got down into the nitty gritty yet.

N260 working great except for gps. havent flashed the stock one yet since i havent really needed my gps.

my poor aria...probably get replaced soon with the samsung galaxy s2 if it ever comes down to $99 with my 2yr extension.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
+1

SGS2 looks pretty good but my contract is not up until March and I'm sure the landscape will change by then...should be cheaper.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
At least there's a treatment for flashaholics :D:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21072750.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
what is that exactly? as compared to N260?

yeah we have a family plan with 5 people, so i gave my upgrade for my wife last month, her moms is eligible, hers & her dads is in march and her bros is in june.

plenty of times to upgrade when the time is right. i know there will be a better phone out by march, so hopefully the SG2 will come down in price. i'm used to paying $1-$100 for a phone, so $200 is a little much.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
It should include the changes listed here that were added after nightly 260 was built:

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=liberty
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
My upgrade has been available since November and everyone keeps suggesting the sg2 and was kinda upset to find out last nite that radio shack was offering for $49 bucks from black Friday till December 31st and it's back up to $199 again. Hate missing that deal.

Sent from wherever I am?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
Walmart has it for $139... I'm gonna snag that deal next month.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Theonew:
...if it's still available :p.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tomtommy306:
I would still pay the $200 + for it, but cheaper is better.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lsusparky621:
IMO, I just hate the screen on the SGS2. The image is stretched on the device and it's not even HD. I am seriously contemplating moving to Verizon because it seems like they always have the better Android devices. I don't mind dropping a few hundred on a phone, but I'm not going to pay $500-$700 for an unlocked device. What's everyone else's opinion?

Edit: I just saw on Engadget that AT&T is more than likely releasing the Galaxy Note around Valentine's Day (not official). It frustrates me that AT&T would release ANOTHER Gingerbread device! Not to mention how far behind AT&T is in LTE coverage compared to Verizon. --Rant Ended--
[HTC Aria Android Development] tedkunich:
Picked mine up at Frys Electronics for $60 as an upgrade just before the holidays. Totally digging the phone, but its forums has some, ahem, very strong personalities ;) Definitely need Nomex over there.

T
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
Yeah I'm sure I missed some deals over the holidays but my wife needed the upgrade first cause her non rooted aria sucked. I can wait. I like my aria so I can wait.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
I'm still holding out for the LG Nitro HD. They've made some progress and it seems like they will have CWM working on the device soon. I probably wouldn't buy it today since it's uncertain if there will be significant development on the device at this point in time, but when I'm eligible for an upgrade in late February, hopefully we'll have a better idea if it'll be worth it or not.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
well i guess this thread is totally dead.

even my nightlies bookmark is dead

guess i'll stick with N260 until i get a new phone in march
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
CM7 nightlies are no longer being built automatically. However, some people are still compiling new versions every so often. You can check them out here:

ok thanks

maybe i'll try one.

doing a nandroid backup now.

is the gps fixed in the new ones? my n260 has messed up gps and i have the stock gps on the sd card, but havent flashed it yet. (i dont use the gps much at all but want it to work when i need it)
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
I don't believe it has been fixed, but you can still flash the same "stock GPS" zip to fix it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dh4645:
thanks, i flashed the 1/23 release

wanted to test the gps this morning but forgot

i'll just go into recovery then and flash the stock one and see how that works.

thanks again
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
Yup, Format System was key for me to get it to work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Furies:
No problems here other than the led notification seems to be disabled.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
Yeah same here
[HTC Aria Android Development] rkrishnan2012:
please help. I tried like 8 times and it keeps getting stuck after i instal the google apps mdpi thing. It just keeps bouncing back to the cyanogen mod animation. Can someone please tell me what im doing wrong? I did the format system as well and that didn't work either.

-Thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rkrishnan2012:
thanks but I did that as well. Did this happen to anyone else?
[HTC Aria Android Development] rkrishnan2012:
I installed the rom on the phone without gapps and it works fine. (The sd card is out now anyway) and when I go and install gapps, I reboot and it goes through animation.....waiting....then the "welcome to android" comes and I click the android and it goes like half way through the setup and then the animation kicks in again before I can click "skip" really fast. Which gapps should i use?
[HTC Aria Android Development] rkrishnan2012:
Thank you so much. I was stupid and downloaded the wrong version yesterday and today i downloaded the right one but forgot to copy it on to the sd card :P
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Those with two Terminals, one is loaded as Term.apk and the other is AndroidTerm.apk within /system/app.

At least, that was it for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jonandkym:
I was only able to get it to work with Gapps from 12/11/2010.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Hmmm...you couldn't get it to work with the GB 01152011 gapps?
[HTC Aria Android Development] shobon:
Asside from the icons being pixely, everything has been working fantastically. But for the first nightly that is so much better than expected.

Thanks to everyone involved!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Sounds like you didn't use the modified procedure as outlined by ATTN1 over on the CyanogenMod forum:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

4. Partitions menu > Format System

5. Install CM 7. Nightly

6. Install GB-GoogleApps!

7. Reboot and hello CM7

The older version of GoogleApps apparently left some settings behind in /system that didn't get cleared with a Wipe data and will interfere with the GB Google Apps. and seems to be the source of the bootlooping. By installing the older Google Apps with CM 7, the old settings didn't have the same affect.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jonandkym:
Yeah, I did it before that was all set out... I'm trying right now and I am hoping it fixes my wifi issues too.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
Kinda laggy when I compare Liberated FR008 (same configuration, same programs), I hope that coz of RC build. Because CM6 was smoother than Liberated. At least for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] seangprice:
Working great at the moment! The format step seems to be the key for a clean error free install. 008 seems to be snappier but that should be expected with an early release.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
Cm7 is already snappy and buttery smooth...I can't say the same for the default ADW launcher though. Anyone that feels it is laggy, try launcherpro or another good one and watch it fly. I use ADW EX.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Yup adw ex is what I use...another thing I've noticed is gmail isn't auto retrieving emails...i have to manually sync...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
After everyone gets what they want on this rom (apps, etc) you should go to rom manager and do fix permissions. First time i did it, it fixed a lot of permissions.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
Already using LauncherPRO Plus. Still more laggy than FR008. Maybe just for me.. idk
[HTC Aria Android Development] Lobo173:
I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and it's got no lag
[HTC Aria Android Development] skidog326:
Great work guys! Love'n my new Aria!

[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Saw in the Twitter posts about a theme chooser and... Just applied the Androidian theme... wow lol. Diggin' the green :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
X2, those old stories about fully discharging batteries helped to calibrate them was with old nickel cadmium ones and its just the opposite story for the lithium ion ones of cellphone batteries of today.

In fact, the less you discharge it, the better battery life you'll get. Ie, plug your cellphone to the charger as soon as you can and your battery will last more.

PS: with the li-on batteries of your notebook it's good you let them fully discharge every 3 months or so, to calibrate the fuel gauges it has. Cellphone doesn't have this gauges.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Build 8 Nightly is rockin! Gotta go outside and see if I can get my GPS working, not hooking up indoors. Nice work to all involved!
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
FYI, this thread gives some good and accurate information about Li-Ion batteries (the kind that the Aria uses).
[HTC Aria Android Development] j.fignole:
I did everything. Still no GPS. Not quite sure what's up

BUild #9 is up fellas :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] gdgeorge:
Make sure you boot the phone in 6.1. It worked for me. Like others GPS worked originally and in Attn1's Froyo release but not here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dude71:
The GPS fix mentioned earlier by mellowdude88 where you load CM6 first and then CM7 after worked for me for about 1 day then it reverted to same behavior. GPS stays on for a few seconds and then goes off again. I tried the process again, it worked for about a day and then again, reverted back to the same behavior. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] j.fignole:
I booted in 6.1 but I didn't install gapps or go through the initial setup. I just went straight through to the home screen then finished the steps of reverting back to cm7. Maybe that was my issue? I'll give it a go
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
I did the same, not installing gapps, but I installed gps status to get a gps lock. And my gps is working still on cm7.
[HTC Aria Android Development] enewman17:
CM 7

I flashed build 8 yesterday from cm 6.1.1, updated to build 9 this morning. no problems to report install was super easy. Wifi, GPS, notification, all seem to be working just fine. GPS locked on very quickly, seems to have accuracy within 5-10 feet or so. And so far every apps that i notice uses GPS acquires signal in a few seconds. I am just loving this, not that it's too much different from cm6, but all the little things like the slider in the text when you want to edit a word that is awesome. The screen animations are spectacular. all in all it is very nice, I wont revert back. I don't know if it made any difference to the gps but i added all the newest maps, voice search, youtube, ect... and the htc settings, emailpolicy and copyright.apk's to the google apps.zip when i flashed the new rom. Have know idea if they were necessary. So far i haven't noticed any ill effects of them being installed. Still can't believe I'm running 2.3.2 and even the newest baddest phones of 2011 will only ship with 2.2 totally lame on the phone makers part.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
.

Still I'm missing some little things like... wasnt the gingerbread stock keyboard supposed to be multitouch to be able to do stuff like allt+key?
[HTC Aria Android Development] enewman17:
here is the link where I got the new google apps. Gmail is an older one and vending.apk is old so dont use them I just added a few things that are missing from the 20110120 gb apps from cyanogen

These are extra's like Sky, Translate, goggles, shopper, ect...

[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
When you set up your account with Build #7 and on, it brings up a screen to choose which GApps you want to install. So, really no need to package it in anymore.

EDIT: Unless you DO want to just flash them while installing the whole ROM.. whatever suits you. Lol
[HTC Aria Android Development] j.fignole:
Is GPS status an app?

Edit***

Hot damn that worked. Downloaded the app from the market. Gave of a min to run outside. Then opened maps and it found me in 5 secs. Thanks for the tip
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I give up. My GPS won't work at all anymore.

What tricks have you tried? Try to be detailed, maybe there's something we did differently.

I don't think I saw it anywhere else on this thread, is anyone else having problems getting music controls on the lockscreen? I've tried all the settings and they still won't show.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
The music controls are visible for me - CM7 build 9.

Make sure to actually have music playing or queued up first. I don't believe the controls are supposed to show up unless you're actually in the process of listening to music...

.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I have tried all of the tricks list on this page to try to get the GPS working and I can't seem to get it to turn on. I have just tried fresh installing both with formating system and without formating system partition and nothing. GPS is checked in Location and Security and it is selected in the Power Control but no icon in the notification area when using Maps. GPS works just fine in CM 6.1.1 but I have not been able to get it to work in CM 7. Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Since this is an early nightly I normally wouldn't be too worried about things that don't work, but since others have gotten GPS to work, I wonder what's going on on my end. Everything else runs like a dream, it actually runs a lot smoother than CM 6, great job ATTN1 and jznomoney!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I don't know if this will help, but try downloading GPS Test (free version).

Maybe your GPS just needs a kick from an app...

I'm not a developer, but you never know...
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Thanks, I tried that too and it didn't help. But I did get it to work. Basically what I did was was Factory Wipe and Format system, then restore my CM 6 then I factory wiped again and installed CM 7 (#9) but forgot to install GAPPS so after the phone rebooted I restarted and installed GAPPS and when I brought it back up I installed maps and it worked. Thanks!! Anyone have a list of the apps that the new GAPPS installs? When I installed this last time I only installed maps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Good to hear you've got it working now. It locks for me (9 satellites typically) in less than 3 seconds. Simply amazing! Faster than a standard GPS unit.

It may have been the factory wipe. I did that when flashing the first CM7 (when there were problems with the boot-loop).

Maybe that's the ticket?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mellowdude88:
When moving from 8 to 9 do I need to do:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partion

(advanced) Wipe Dalvik Cache?

or just flash it?

Hey, I'm learning as I go here!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob889:
wipe cache partition, (advanced) wipe dalvik cache, then flash.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
just flash :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I had GPS issues on CM6.1.1 as well, but I'm going to restore it back to CM6.1.1, then do a complete factory wipe, system format, everything, then install CM7 build 9 without Google apps. I'm going to let CM boot without Gapps, then I'll flash Gapps. And hope and pray this works. I use my Nav a lot...

EDIT: Okay, so there's some issue with CM7's GPS, for real. CM6 just picked up GPS INSIDE my dorm room.
