I'm using DT apps2sd with nightlies right now. I was having some occasional funky behavior using his most recent beta while I had dalvik on the SD card. I would have to flash the a2sd zip twice instead of once, and occasionally have to do a battery pull/second reboot after flashing to get it to start up. Once going, no issues.

right now, using it with dalvik on the device in /data. approx 100 apps, and 35MB free space.

with dalvik on sd, I had 200 apps on the device, and about 110MB free.

I was not having any specific problems with the dalvik on SD, but I was running into problems with vlingo and thought this might be the cause (it was not...I suspect vlingo hasn't been updated for 2.3 yet). I will likely go back to dalvik on SD shortly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
I always download to PC then copy. But not necessarily because of the DL issue on the phone.

I like to swap out the email.apk that comes with CM7 with the older one, which supports changing the color of the accounts.

I then load it to the phone and flash away...
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
If it helps, here's my typical ROM flash sequence:

Nandroid backup of current ROM situation

Flash new ROM (install zip from SD Card)

Install attached DT A2SD file (a zip file - install just like a ROM)

Install the A2SD file AGAIN (avoids boot loop)

Install AddFree_Fix (attached) - this will fix the issue with AdFree, if you use it. - Again, install it like you would install a ROM zip file.

Reboot phone

If you want the email client that allows you to change the colors of your accounts (to help identify them easily in the combined inbox), replace the Email.apk that comes with the CM7 ROM with the attached file.

NOTE: This is from an earlier CM7 nightly, and unless you swap it in the zip file, just installing it over the current one using the install feature in the phone, it will revert on reboot.

Note - I have stopped wiping the cache partition as well as the Davlik cache. It seems unnecessary, and also because Attn1's instructions didn't include these two steps. Your choice.

Same heeeeeeeere, it's stupid! I thought it was me who tampered with something on the phone...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Thank you sooooooooooo very much! You answered any questions I had and provided the files. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
No problem - I appreciate the thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sd73ta:
Ive got a couple questions I havent seen answered yet

1. is there a way to keep the gps on while the screen is off i use cardio trainer everyday and the precision isnt the same with cell tower triangulation.

2. what does each setting under cpu settings / governors do
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
To anyone having issues with downloading from the stock browser, i suggest using something like opera mini...i have had 0 unsuccessful downloads since i've switched to it...whereas it would take me between 3 and 15 tries to download ANYTHING on the stock browser.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
+1. Opera is the only browser I've used with cm7 that hasn't given me any issues. Miren fixed most of its issues but still had download issues. So I've ben using opera for a couple weeks now and its been rock solid. Of course I haven't used the stock browser since cm 6.0.0...
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
I'm using dolphin hd and not having any issues dl'ing from the intertubes. My problem is app updates. They always throw an error. Either unknown error 18 or it says insufficient storage space. But if I try again it always works. Sometimes it might take two tries. Anyone else have this problem? I've had it for a couple weeks
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Wisely, and possibly due to our own grumblings, it appears that the nightly builds are no longer being published to the mirror site.

We need to realize that our comments on these nightly builds need to be made with the undestanding they are test builds, and not really intended to be in any way final.

Unless I'mcompletely off the mark, we need to wait for a final release now.

Or... it could be that the final version is imminent.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Anyone know what it is that was put up last night?

It's named "cm_liberty_full-1.zip" with last nights date.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I'm too scared to flash it
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Looks like build number 1.

But for what?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Maybe to help with clutter?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
It's 19KB larger than nightly 43.

I don't get the confusing naming of this file, but I have a spare Aria so I'll see if it "flashes" or "blows up".

:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Well, it didn't blow-up.... :)

The phones changelog reads "CyanogenMod-7-02192011-Nightly-Liberty".

Guess I'll give it a test drive............
[HTC Aria Android Development] s14evil:
Can anyone confirm is there going to a real CM7 Nightly for the DREAM/SAPPHIRE? Or is CM7 D/S just someones side prodject
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
another +1: been having intermittent issues as well, since the early nightlies. seems like non-mobile sites really struggle to load in most browsers. I had been using xScope, which had been noticeably faster than others. now it, stock, and dolphin hd all are giving me issues. Opera mini seems ok at this point. I am on nightly 34 right now. have not done a factory wipe since nightly 1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Try Miren browser
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
Got the same thing jd. with the app updates off of last nightly - first time I had gotten it - retried and no issues on the update after that.

I used Dolphin HD Mini as well - no issues dl'ing
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
EDIT: Build 1 is the newest nightly, they reset the counter.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I tried Miren in the recent past - it was a background data/battery hog compared to all the other browsers I have used. with minimal (a couple minute use, 3 pages browsed) it used vastly more data than any other app on my device over the course of several hours use, including 2 other browsers that saw more browsing use than miren. I appreciate the suggestion, but I'll stick to Opera until this gets sorted.

Edit: just for grins, I re-installed miren. It exhibits the same hanging data behavior as xScope, DolphinHD and stock browsers. typically hangs at 50% or just below 90% of page load. Loading same pages from same links in Opera (neither browser having opened that particular page before) Opera still exhibiting no data hang.

Edit 2: Just flashed most recent nightly (#2 released 2/19/11) and xScope is now behaving itself, getting normal load times. Stock browser also working normally, and Opera still working.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Hi everyone,

first of all I would like to thank everyone contributing, the results are simply great and it is quite nice having GB on my Aria.

There is one thing I would like to do, but I have not had any success so far: even thought ADW is nice, I would like to use the stock launcher. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

I thought that by just deleting the ADW apk it would do it, but after doing so I get a blank screen. Anyone know how to do it the right way?

Thank you in advance!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Go to market and type 2.3 launcher.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
I will try out Opera because of what you said. I like the minimalist feel of Miren though, but I'm all about saving ,y battery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
FWIW, the stock browser has worked correctly since 43 and still does in the new #1 nightly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I have to say I've noticed this too. My battery life while actually using the phone had increased noticeably.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
I'll have to mess with the settings again, but I seem to have worse battery life; but that could be just a new-ROM psychological effect so I'll need to look into it more.

Also, GPS is working perfectly fine for me, it was able to lock-on my location and give me directions while I was inside a building.
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
Did you wipe everything properly? I'm also using the 4th nightly build and have no encountered any of those problems personally if that helps.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
This is awesome

I keep getting "loading new albums and photos" stuck on my screen, even after i exit the gallery. Only a reboot gets rid of it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hungmung:
Anybody having trouble worth gps on cm7 reinstall it and do the partition- system format as well as a full wipe and cache wipe after I did that I was able to get a lock pretty quick.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Yeah that happened to me too on build 0
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
I originally didn't format system. I'm debating whether to re-flash CM7. But I think I'm going to go ahead and wait for the official beta.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
My battery life is better; nanodroid backup your current stuff and try it. Its stable for a nightly and nightlies get a new version almost every night. I have no problems mentioned on here and you may have to install the rom twice to get it at its finest, but try it out and if you don't like it then switch back to cm6.1.1

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
The 2 nightlies thus far are quite good, stability-wise. I haven't had any of the Wifi or GPS problems that others have reported.

I haven't noticed any difference with the battery, however. The status bar icon never seems to drop, but if you go into About Phone> Status, you can see what your true % is....
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispcat89:
Nope. I have no idea how to do half the ****. I'm used to the OS for iPhone. I'm new to android.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
I still can not get GPS to lock.. it keeps saying checking navigation availability and never locks on.. Using Nightly Build 4 and followed all the steps including formatting system. Since I don't need GPS anytime soon I may leave it and see if it comes back with one of the next nightly builds. Either that or if I need GPS set it back to CM6.1.1.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
still not running? Make sure that USB is NOT connected when you do all this stuff in Recovery. Clockwork is unstable when USB is plugged in. Also, have you checked the MD5 sum of the downloaded file? It could be corrupted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sluzi26:
So the GPS thing is a universal constant? Otherwise I was gonna give it a shot (I use my Aria as a GPS)
[HTC Aria Android Development] chmod777:
Flashed build 4 a few hours ago. WiFi is working a lot better.

My GPS is working just fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
My GPS is perfect pretty much slightly slower than cm6
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I don't think it's universal but I went back to 6.1.1 due to a trip tomorrow, I could not get the GPS to lock. I'll try again later or wait for a beta build.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
A few notes:

The problem with the install script was that the script was issuing an incorrect format command. This caused cm7 to install directly over cm6, retaining incompatible 2.2 code and causing bootloops in most cases unless a system format was done in clockwork manually prior to flashing cm7. This has been corrected, and system no longer has to be formatted before the cm7 is flashed for reliable operation as of the 01/19 nightly. You may still want to do this if you want to do a clean install with no gapps backup/restores.

A few of you have noted problems with wifi. There is no reason to expect CM7 to perform any differently than cm6.1.1 did regarding wifi. If you do, then there is probably an issue with your flash or with your wifi data. We are using essentially the same kernel and wifi drivers. Once again, no Broadcom driver set works with every access point out there. I've selected the ones that seem to work best for most people, including myself.

A few of you have noted issues with GPS. My experience with CM7 is that GPS locks very, very quickly. I used it today on a short road trip, and there was zero wait for GPS sync even after a. not using it for a few days and b. flashing a new test ROM. (Nothing changed regarding GPS). AGPS data is critical. If it's out of date, it can be a bear to sync. I suggest using GPS status (free in market) to update AGPS data and sync for the first time. Once that's done, GPS should be reliable thereafter.

Quadrant Benchmark does not work on Gingerbread. Notes for the product in market indicate that it does not yet support the Nexus S (the only production Gingerbread phone to date). If the Nexus S doesn't work with Quadrant, then I am afraid we all wait for a fix for Gingerbread before we worry about it any further.

For people who noted that the game "Air Control" did not work in CM6 - well, it does in CM7. Go figure.

jznomoney and I (for the Liberty device) and the rest of the CM team are still working hard & fast as we can to bring a full set of CM features and even more stability to this project. Enjoy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
Usually when i flash to a new rom mmy battery life suffers for the first few charges but cm7 for runtime of 11 hours now and phone reads 57% with GPS on and mild email use
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
As always, thanks to attn1 for maintenance and support.

I didn't use CM6 much opting for LA mostly FR007 and FR008. Are the same wireless driver in play for LA and CM? The reason I'm asking is that an access point that I used daily with LA is not available with CM7 (and I'm not sure about CM6). It is a non-broadcasting AP...

CM7 has been pretty solid for me, I've seen FCs in two spots:

1. Settings->Sound: (everytime) Is is possible I got too trigger happy with my Ti restores?

2. Settings->CM Settings->UI->Widget Buttons: On two occasions, I got a FC upon selecting (BT once and Sound the other). No I can no longer get them off the StatusBar. (Selecting BT puts two on the bar, and deselecting it leaves one, etc.)

I assume that I could Recovery->Partition->Format system again and start over, is there an easier way to clear the Power Widget settings?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Furies:
Is anyone else noticing that the LED notification flash is no longer enabled? (or working at the moment, not sure which).

So far I have a small amount of scroll lag switching between home screens with LauncherPro Plus. Interestingly enough however, applications load smoother and text scrolling is smoother as well in 2.3.

Great work everyone who worked on this ROM. Everything about this alpha is working except my LED flash which im sure will be dealt with.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Nightly 2 is available.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Worked great in both the RC and in build 43 as well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
The browser issues are back in these last two builds. I have to find my dl of 43 so I can flash back to it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
CRAP!

By chance, does anyone still have their download of 43 they wouldn't mind hosting for re-dl?

Edit: I restored the wrong backup at first. All is well now :p
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Browser issues

I had browser issues in both RC1 and nightly 43, but I am not having them in the nightly 2 that was released today (2/19).

Edit: Dan.Georges and TX Redneck: are you guys flashing over existing roms or doing clean installs? using DT a2sd? Just trying to narrow down what variables might be causing this issue...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
I generally wipe cache and dalvik but not on the last few. I haven't gone through the process of partitioning my card yet to use dt a2sd yet either.

I just flash over and use adfree+fix.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
thank you for the feedback
[HTC Aria Android Development] TDQuiksilver:
I'm still a bit confused. Will flashing over one nightly with a more current one retain my apps, settings and data? Or will it wipe clean when installing?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
If you only wipe cache partition and dalvik cache then flash the new nightly, everything will still be there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Lord Alekosh:
Strange

I noticed something strange after I flashed the new nightly build 2. I chose lense as my lockscreen type, and it's not gone or anything, just fatter. I read in the settings there's a "minimalistic lense" but I haven't found anything like that. My pulldown bar is now transparent, also. These aren't big deals at all to me, I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed these changes, as well. :confused:

[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Ever since the RC, I nandroid then flash the new ROM without any preliminaries.

Then I flash DT a2SD twice (to avoid boot loops) and finally affix_free.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
thanks for your input as well. out of curiosity, are you running your dalvik on sd? since I have moved it back to /data on the device, as of rc1, I have been flashing dt a2sd beta 4 only once, and have had zero boot loops. not sure if this is due to changes in the rom, having dalvik on device, or coincidence.

edit: flashed nightly 2 from 2/19 last night, and browsers behaved normally. as of sometime this morning, with no changes to device configuration, xscope and stock browser are again failing to load regular web pages. mobile pages continue to work, and opera mini still loads regular pages normally. tried uninstall/reinstall of xscope, with no change.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
42 rocks my socks off!!! Good so far.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
How did u get the transparent pull down bar?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I wonder if its a new addition to the settings...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:
downloaded latest nightly - everything running fast and smooth

Great work Devs!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Does the browser load non-mobile native pages quickly for you? I don't use tapatalk or anything like that so any page/site that doesn't have a mobile version takes FOREVER.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
TX - have you tried Opera on your install to compare with other browsers? I am still seeing this problem with every browser I try except Opera.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Hi Moh_Jay,

thanks for the tip.

I looked for 2.3 launcher on the market, but I decided to just copy Launcher2.apk from the SDK emulator and flash it to my phone. It is working pretty good :).

Regards.
[HTC Aria Android Development] L551:
I'd use opera if it supported my Lastpass bookmarklets. But it doesn't so I use skyfire for now.

I also have the issue with normal sites loading slow on stock and Dolphin browsers.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-2
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
with all this controversy surrounding hsupa on the inspire i found out its disabled in the aria too through the build.prop

i edited the line: ro.ril.hsxpa=1 to ro.ril.hsxpa=2

went from upload speeds of 250-300ish max to over 1000kbps :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
I don't in 43, that's why I asked earlier if someone had the zip they could host before I realized I still had my nandroid of it. I used Om on my old SE C905 because it was better and much quicker but it doesn't feel the same on the Aria.

I tried skyfire but the screen real estate is 60% gone from the two toolbars plus it wasn't any quicker than webkit.

What I'd really like is to be able to use Firefox on here but the Aria gets no love.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Hello everyone,

just wanted to report something I am experiencing; not sure if it is an actual issue in the build (- currently using nightly #2 from Feb/20/2011 -) or with my device itself.

When I try to replace (- delete, overwrite or re-install -) any file, be that an apk or .db file the new file exists on the system until the next reboot; after this the new files are gone and the ones that were replaced are back like they were never deleted.

I also noticed this behavior even with the Nexus 1 live wall-paper: I customize the settings and but it goes back to the default settings as soon as the next reboot finishes.

Has anyone seen this either in previous builds or with this build? And if so how can this be fixed?

Thank you in advance,

J.C.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
This will happen with all ROMs on the Aria. The only way to permanently make changes to the /system partition is to use adb while the phone is in Recovery to make the changes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Drowningchild, how do you go about changing the line in the build? Would this fix upload speed? Cause it's slow on the aria. How would you do this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
I would also like to know what you did.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
One other way -

On a PC -

view the ROM zip file and replace the file in that Zip file with the one you want (e.g., Email.apk).

save the zip file

copy it to your device using your preferred techinque

the new file will not be overwritten on reboot, since IT'S the original file.

I do this with the email client, which was modified somewhere along the line to not allow changes to the color of each email account -

Works like a charm.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
That is exactly how I did it; I tried with files in both the /system and /data partitions; the result is the same.

Also notice it also happens with basic items like wall-paper settings, so seems it is something else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
1) Reboot into recovery. From partitions menu, select mount /system.

2) Open a cmd window pointed at your tools folder.

3) Type 'adb remount'.

4) Type 'adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop'. This pulls the build.prop into your tools folder.

5) Open build.prop in notepad++ or other suitable text editor.

6) Find the appropriate line: ro.ril.hsxpa=1 and change the value to 2. Save and close.

7) Type 'adb push build.prop /system/build.prop'. This pushes the modified build.prop back to the phone.

8) Reboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] woodbane:
If you like the ADW launcher I highly recommend ADWEX (the paid version) which gives many more features. In my opinion it gives Launcher Pro a run for its money.

*Sent from my HTC Aria using Tapatalk*
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
or you can just open the update.zip and pull the build.prop file edit it and put it back into the zip and keep the build.prop you edited for future use :)

this should be added into cm
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
now how do you do that drowningchild? please explain. i would love to know how to do this by just using my phone and not plugged into computer if possible.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
the update.zip(nightly you downloaded) open it up on PC with winzip 7zip or any other archive manager.

go to /system in the zip pull out 'build.prop', open in notepad++ or any other text editor of your choosing, change the hsxpa=1 to =2 and save!

put the 'build.prop' file you extracted back into the zip you opened and flash!

you can do this with every nightly if u save the edited build.prop and repeat everytime you flash

EDIT: should also work with liberated roms/any phones that are hspa

i dont think you can do it on only ur phone its s-on sadly :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
thanks so much for your time drowningchild. I'm new to the editing build.prop thing. gonna give it a try. then ill try a speed test. sweet, something else to tinker with. thanks again.
