[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I read somewhere (it may of been this thread) that there is an options that made it so when you restored all of your apps and whatnot, you did not have to re-add all of your widgets. Is there such a thing?
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
If you use launcher pro or adw you can create a launcher backup and restore after a wipe. Or you can backup and restore using titanium backup or similar app
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
I am quite sure that my issue was #14 related now. After switching back to #11, I have yet to get any strange reboot issues, which happened at least twice a day on #14. Oh well, let's hope the CM team is able to track and squash that nasty bug.
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Or my personal favorite:

Make a nandroid

Wipe

Install your new rom

Go into clockwork

Then advanced restore

Then restore data only

After booting all your apps and setting are how you left them.

Including your desktop and Widgets. :)

I got this method from someone off these forums just don't remember who.

Thanks whoever you are. :)
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
'

As long as system data is not restored then that is a good approach too. I'm always always nervous doing bulk restores but if you are careful its fine.
[Nexus S General] lfmmoura:
Titanium Backup is good, but breaks the widgets. Not that it's too big a deal, since the widgets do retain their config, so it's only a matter of excluding and reinserting them again.

I don't recall whether using ADW's restore option does bring back the widgets, but it's worth a shot. In any event, I'd install shootme and take a few screen caps of the home screens just to make sure you can restore all the widgets.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
+1.

I have actually restored a nandroid just to take screen shots of the way my home screen was set up.. haha
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Absolutely. There was a time when I dug updating as much as possible. But when they do nothing to fix the extremely buggy builds coming out lately I support the CM team getting it right before they release. Hopefully anyway. Recent history is not encouraging.
[Nexus S General] leonlmf:
Anyone else getting the radio dump .bin file? I got two more today 37m each. I restored back to #12 now. Not sure where that files came from
[Nexus S General] fchipm:
Did I read somewhere that widgets don't stay when rebooted?

I've been flashing nightlies since day one and never had the problem. Then this morning I reboot and all of my widgets are gone, both on Widgetlocker and LauncherPro. Frustrating!! Haven't mustered the courage to restart again, but I hope it's not an every time deal.... :confused:
[Nexus S General] avetny:
Its ok dude., just delete it, and restart the phone....
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
they stay for me, never had any problems with widgets

ADW EX / CM RC2
[Nexus S General] RaQHoliday:
Almost been late for work the last 2 days because my phone was boot looping at 7am when my alarm was supposed to go off :(

Nightly 14 w/Netarchy 1.2.7
[Nexus S General] Arcarsenal:
I know this is the nightly thread, but in the chance that someone reads this:

Anyone experience any weirdness with Exchange push syncing? I've got 2 Exchange 2010 accounts syncing via push. Randomly, one or both accounts will stop getting push e-mail. I'll see the messages in Outlook and on the web client, but not on the phone. It was bad yesterday, but today it seems to be okay - so far.

Nightly #11 with 1.2.7 cfs Netarchy
[Nexus S General] mrRobinson:
sometimes i have to remove the account on phone, then verify its gone via manage mobile devices in outlook 2010 or owa. then re-setup account. that usually solves any weirdness i see.
[Nexus S General] legojj:
Nightly 17 is out

10 char
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
thanks! its about time :)
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
So far I haven't had problems with RC2, was there much changed in this nightly or just bug fixes?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Bug fixes, Cyanogen tweeted on March 8th (same date as RC2 release)

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/

RC2 is pretty much nightly #14.. it is now on #17
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
Hmmm rom manager only shows #13 here. :(
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Something new that I noticed. Not sure if this was in previous builds or not.

I'm able to view 720p videos (mkv) and decode it using hardware now, and its smooth. However, there's no sound. If i decode with Software, its choppy but theres sound.
[Nexus S General] fataki:
Confirmed. Finally!
[Nexus S General] nickwarn:
seems like they fixed the boot times in #17. Atleast its much better. I dont know if any one else have had this storage problem at first boot after new flash. I had it in all 2.3.3 builds, the little sd card icon in the statusbar saying i need to format my storage. Now its gone. Nice, it was easy fixed by rebooting and it would never sshow its ugly face again. but tthings like that are iretating. All else seems to work, GPS works and locks fast and in ADW EX the 4D app drawer is actually silky smooth so far, been having trouble with that. Im using ogdobber`s 1.3.4 kernel and its exellent.
[Nexus S General] dudekiller:
so im still having hard ships with my phone ive only had 17 for a couple hours and it stopped working and went into a bootloop with very very dark blue and grey.... and everything was still stock.... am i the only one?
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
did you wipe dalvik/cache/factory? if not.. when was your last wipe?

what kernel? bootloader? radio?
[Nexus S General] fosdos4790:
Yea I had that same sdcard problem. A reboot usually fixed it but it was definitely annoying.
[Nexus S General] baolongn:
Any changes in nightly 17??
[Nexus S General] dudekiller:
Yea I always wipe before moving roms and I don't have any custom kernels and I'm runningkb3 for my radio I also don't use any backup apps I reflashed 17 again and it seems fine but I've only been running the reflashed for like an hour also since yesterday I haven't been able to find the free xda app it said it wasn't available when it was redownloading my apps and I haven't seen it since... I found the paid one but not the free one so if someone could be so kind as to post the APk so I can reinstall it... I'd be happy :)
[Nexus S General] graphreak:
Opps, guess I didn't have my coffee yet.

Deleted.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
http://review.cyanogenmod.com

@dudekiller: you need to use market enabler to fix it.

I'm sure the file is okay, but it doesn't hurt to validate the file you downloaded's MD5 and compare it to the one on the website. It is possible you got a bad download of it. But chances of it are low, but its possible.
[Nexus S General] fchipm:
So far so good on 17 with netarchy 1.2.7 cfs. Oc at 1.2 ghz.

Coming from 14 everything feels just a hair quicker.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
Turn off all animations and transitions in spare parts and it will feel a lot quicker ;)
[Nexus S General] graphreak:
Not to forget Settings>Sound>Haptic feedback too.

:D
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
Nice tip, that did speeds things up :)
[Nexus S General] mortal300:
Are nightly's nows tailored around CM7 RC2????
[Nexus S General] serrov91:
Have been running nightly #17 for several hours.. had a reboot.. Everything else is running super smoothly! Great work!
[Nexus S General] Ariozo:
Also been using #17 for some hours now and feels realy smooth. But i also had one Reboot so far, but that is all till now.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
latest cm7 kang anyone? its only 30min since uploaded. fresh! http://db.tt/SnLu8qF

thanks gearheadcustoms
[Nexus S General] zadnica:
Why does't include in cm Microbes LiveWallpaper?
[Nexus S General] mak213:
noooooo coming off of rc2 flashed #17 and phone is corrupt FC'ing haven't happened since pre rc1 why nooww :( lol damm right when i put a ****load of apps
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
fix permissions in recovery.

flash kernel if you used a custom kernel

and this is why you need titanium backup to backup apps if you havent already x_x
[Nexus S General] serrov91:
Hi!

What does the "kang" version means? Is that a nightly? Anything different from #17?

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
kang version means unofficial nightly.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/ for changelogs.. please stop asking if theres something different, just look at this and compare it to the release time frame of the previous nightly
[Nexus S General] serrov91:
Thanks for your answer! ^.^
[Nexus S General] :
figures i should have refreshed this thread again before I flashed #17. oh well time to flash again. thanks

oh anyone see/try this bootanimation? i just tried it and it looks pretty awesome:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990606
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Thanks for the heads up. Looks really good on boot.
[Nexus S General] Bronk93:
#17 is very smooth and no issues at all on my end. Adw is much more fluid in scrolling than in previous releases.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
Just downloaded it, looks awesome! This should be the default boot animation for CM7. I had been using the Xoom boot anumation but I like this even better! :D
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
I just got that too. Never had that at 11. :( The worst part it happened twice, with no phone activity. Just happened out of the blue. :(
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Check your GPS. Not sure if the latest broke it or not since I haven't used it much lately but today it was a quarter mile off. Useless. At one point, probably 5 or more builds ago, it worked perfectly.

Seems like there hasn't been a single build that has everything, and important things, working correctly.

I can deal with minor flaws but this is a release candidate. I typically donate to CM and will eventually, I hope anyway. It's got to be close to fully functional though and I can't see paying anything for what I have on my phone lately. Ok, off my high horse.

Still dig the effort for the most part. I swear I think Samsung has something to do with this somehow. Damn Google for picking that POS smartphone company to be a flagship device. If the G2X is a stock google device I'll write a bad check to get out from under Samsung's curse. My CM Nexus One was a killer phone. Amazing to think I should have just kept the damn thing.
[Nexus S General] jlevy73:
That's precisely the reason I am not on cm7 at the moment. Just too many weird quirks for me to deal with. I have no problem with some here and there but I think I'm going to let CM develop further before jumping back aboard.

One of the reasons the nexus one worked so well with CM is because that was Cyanogen's baby. So most of the commits he personally coded or oversaw. I mean no disrespect to Teamdouche but I think they overextended themselves as they try to take on every single device out there. There just isn't a one size commit all.

As for the G2X, I believe Engadget did a review on it and pretty sure it's got some LG layer of bologna built into it.
[Nexus S General] mak213:
thank you, also

ya im not sure how this is happening idk, but i dont have titanium backup etc. but when i wipe somehow my phone after sitting for 10mins after log in it restores all my apps + notification letting me know how many were successfully restored how is this happening lol
[Nexus S General] dsellers2:
Google's market does this now automatically for most apps but it will not store your data that was on the apps. Titanium backup is good for that. And about 6 months ago the market would not automatically restore your apps after a sign in to Google servers. This is a relatively new feature. :)
[Nexus S General] lpasq:
+1... ...also, we have no douche writing love for the NxS. Koush has been off the radar except for a Christmas alpha. Maybe the ATT/Canadian, Euro, and Asian NxS sales and the NFC capabilities will save us from the orphanage.

...sent from NxS
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
You know Koush is also the guy who built the RC2? It's not compiled by the buildbot. Koush is a busy man, he maintains Clockwork Recovery and does work on a variety of devices.

People these days can't appreciate what we have. The most important thing is that, WE HAVE CyanogenMod7. Before the Nexus S I had the Vibrant with high hopes when WesGarner picked it up and CM6 (or CM7) for Galaxy S series didn't really pick off. Sure theres a alpha/beta from here and there but its not officially supported.

These developers do this for free. They don't ask for anything in return. Feeling generous? Donate to them to support their work. I don't think its fair to bash anybody from CyanogenMod. All of it is open source, if you want to help commit to the Nexus S then commit. It's all open source, you can submit your changes.

So if you don't know how to.. then learn. Anybody can contribute to CyanogenMod7 Nexus S. There's nobody to blame but ourselves.

So unless you're contributing to CM7, its not fair to judge ANYBODY.

Thanks again to Team Douche for their contributions to the Android community.
[Nexus S General] leonlmf:
With the #17 the radio dump is back again. I don't know whats wrong with it. The first one since #13.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a good idea to have underclocking profiles in SetCPU for sleep mode. Never used it, but I have heard there are problems when you do that.
[Nexus S General] yungfresh:
Thanks a lot! Works like a charm now!
[Nexus S General] yungfresh:
The latest nightly is freakin nice! You guys do a bang up job! Really loving it. But I did run smartbench and the score is pretty low. Is anyone flashing an overclocked kernel with the nightlies? If so, what's the performance/bugs like?
[Nexus S General] TheMorpheus:
I like the new CmSettings, but I have a problem with the notification power widget: I'm unable to delete 3 buttons even they aren't enabled.

Anyone knows how to reset/delete the settings, without going thru a wipe?
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
Can one upgrade from #8 to #10 directly?
[Nexus S General] rb9228:
You shouldn't have any problems doing so. To my understanding, these are all stand alone builds, meaning you can jump around different custom ROMs as long as you wipe data and caches.
[Nexus S General] asci:
The Google apps package downloaded through ROM Manager is missing Gmail app. Isn't it?
[Nexus S General] crking1980:
I had the same problem for all the google apps. When I downloaded then all back in the market they would crash. So I went back into recovery reflashed gapps that I already had and everything is back to normal
[Nexus S General] asci:
The same I did it.
[Nexus S General] daffyno:
same here :(

[Nexus S General] Guitarfreak26:
Scratch that my button presses are blue too lol
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
By the way, I'm not experiencing any problems with themes on adw launcher ex. Which is a more superior version of adw launcher.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Im not getting cyan button presses.. How do i do that?
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Love Cyanogenmod.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Nothing special to it...? Just apply it and it works.

Only thing that seems messed up is the button press on the home screen (remains orange) but on the menu its fine.

I personally use Androidian.. I like the animation from one menu screen to another, it's more appealing than Cyanbread. Will probably go back to Cyanbread when CM7 implements the themes to change the status bars' icon colors to Cyan as well. That's going to be amazing :)

Edit: if you want to change the color on long press on icons on home screens.

ADW launcher settings -> ui settings -> icons -> highlights press color.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Yeah sorry I didnt specify, i meant on the home screen. But i figured if you go to adw settings > ui setting > Icons > highlight press color you can change the color of the icon press on the homescreen
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
yeah i just figured that out. hopefully theme selector will modify those as well in a future version

Default is #ffff9900 -- should get something started here to match with each theme ;)
[Nexus S General] willcpfc:
Mmmm build 10 and Trinity is good. Well worth the 10 mins to set up again :) the devs do us proud.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:

How are cm nighlies running on ns compaired to n1? Are there more or less bugs and such?I just got my ns a week ago and i miss cm

If anyone has still got their n1?
[Nexus S General] Ariozo:
All good on the new #17 exp. for this quick litle "rebbots" it does..and it is not like some old ones that did a full reboot and you have to wait and enter pin and all, just a quick reboot without enter pin or anything. :)
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
that's all complete BS. I've had enough of the "you can't complain its free" mantra. I've contributed numerous times to CM but I could still whine if I didn't without feeling one second of guilt. The "these guys do this for free" BS doesn't wash either. If you're going to post, and especially to a community that has the expectations the CM fans have, and I am definitely a fan, then there is a responsibility to present at least mostly functional software MODs. I've practically been a CM evangelist. I was in the Vibrant forums and the Euro SGS having had both devices. And it was painful. I bought the NS specifically because I knew TeamDouche would pick it up and they have removed most of the Samsung garbage. Regardless of the team doing it, if you can't post quality builds with working phone functionals, especially when it's a release candidate, then they shouldn't be posted. QA right now, in my opinion, for CM releases is lacking. Badly.

Anyway, I could go on and on but I'm rambling. I couldn't let the "you don't pay for this" crap go though. Enough. This is a message board. Peoples opinions are what drive the f'n thing. And right now, opinions about these builds is turning negative because of what is being delivered. You have every right to debate the negativity with reasonable rebuttals but saying don't post it because this is free isn't valid. And every single person here has the right to say whatever the hell it is they want to say as long as it's respectful and within the guidelines.
[Nexus S General] badboyvtec:
Btw regarding this issue, this was not a rom issue. Tried a full wipe with no luck and then swapped my sim into my old hero no SMS! Returned to my nexus and nandroided back installed #17 update then rang 150 and got SMS settings sent via text. Rebooted phone and SMS is back :D weird that it should have stopped.
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Man, it's so annoying when I hit the power button, and try to unlock the screen, only to see it freeze and then go to a bootloop. I still have no idea why this is happening...

[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
I think I'll be going back to #11 again, happened twice today. Are you by any chance using ADW Launcher EX? :( I'm really hoping it a software problem rather than a firmware one.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
still a RC...going to have bugs.

keep in mind that officially only 2 phones have gingerbread right now...

so in koush's defense, he has to wait for all the other phones to "catch up"
[Nexus S General] liorry:
Happens to me as well, using ADW EX.

BUT it happened to me on almost every nightly using Zeam and Launcher Pro so it's not related.

Really frustrating, back to stock...
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Oh well, I guess I'll try the Modaco one for now. Hope the bugs get fixed eventually, I'll still continue to donate to the team.

It's been like that for a little while. Probably just needs a little Koush updgrade to smooth that out.

Same here. The issue was corrected previously but was bug returned after a few nightlies. Sent paid app developer email of device ID error within CWM-RM. RM not syncing with CM for some and CM notification unable to recognize my IEMI.

i know right. i love to re emphasize the same idea for the past two pages about the same thing ;)

but yeah.. in other news, build #17 + Netarchy 1.2.8-BFS is running pretty smooth.

I'll probably wait for #19 or #20 for my next flash build. Doesn't seem like too much has changed in #18.

Just need that MKV (720p) to render with sound now!

[Nexus S General] Ariozo:
Been on #18 with 1.2.8 now sense it came out, and so far not reboots and smooth and realy fast.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
I have no issues with Koush in general, or any other developer on the CM team. But I am not going to bite my lip just because I haven't contributed money on the CM7 builds. When they are useable I will. Have many times before pre release 7.

My issue isn't with CM in that post. I can do what anyone can. Try another MOD. Right now I'm on Modaco. GPS is flawless. No reboots, no Cyanogenmod process error loops. No black screens. And so on.

I'll be back on the CM train when it's ready and for me, it isn't ready right now. And when I do come back, assuming they've got the bugs worked out, I'll be more than happy to not only contribute to the fund, but praise and prop up righteously.

So I hear ya. And I agree but my post wasn't about bashing CM. It was about the absurdity of the argument being spewed forth about how nobody should ever complain unless we can code ourselves or are bankrolling the development teams. That's BS.

It's a generality. Not CM specific. My patience wore thin in the Vibrant forums when OP's boasted about how fast and stable their "ROM" was, and then proceeded to blow up my phone.

Anyway, next...
[Nexus S General] newspeak:
18 seems to drain battery faster ...time without sleeping in an hour was 75% ...dropped 28% in 1 hour
[Nexus S General] Vulpix:
Oh yeah, for those who underclock their processor during sleep mode assuming it will save battery life in SetCPU, please don't do it. I tried it out a few times, and found battery life to be worse when I set the sleep profile to 200-400. Battery life improved substantially when I removed the sleep profile. Using #11 and netarchy 1.2.7 for my tests during the week.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
I don't use any profiles and last 24 hours+

But yeah that seems reasonable, your CPU is being bottlenecked and its trying to keep up and its using more processing power due to underclocking.
[Nexus S General] mrRobinson:
I agree but I think you just had set too low. With mine now at 100-800 I have better life than without a screen off profile.
