New guy help anyone..?

First time running CM7.1 and liking it so far.. just had a few questions and searching has brought me here. I apologize in advance if these have already been well covered, searching brought up lots of hits but keep instructing me to do what I've already done.

Wiped everything I could, flashed CM7.1 nightly (cm_inc_full-233) and also flashed the gapps package (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) but the gmail and other gapps weren't showing up.

I rebooted a few times into recovery and reflashed them, still no go. Didn't get any errors, said it was removing previous APK's and such, everything seemed to go OK.

I finally downloaded maps and gmail apps from the market, but I'd like to be able to use the full package. Can anyone help, or point me to the right forum, if I'm in the wrong place?

Also, noticed that Theme Chooser is built in, and has 3 themes available... yet when I search around on the web, seems there's dozens more out there.. any correct method for getting those themes onto my phone, or do they all need to be downloaded individually?

Thanks in advance. Loving CM so far!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
GAAPS no longer includes the Google apps which are in the market, it includes the market so you can get them, and so they can be updated without a carrier approved OTA... so you are doing everything right...

I am not sure what you mean by the "full package." Everything is in the market version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidrage2010:
Thanks John!

I guess I'm not sure what else I'm missing by only installing Gmail and Maps from the market.. I figured there was more (much more?) in the gapps zip.

?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] droidrage2010:
Update - Fixed my own problem... I went into Rom Manager and updated my version of CWM to v5, booted into it, fixed permissions and reran the GAPPS zip file. Fixed permissions again, rebooted, and they were all there!

Not sure which step exactly fixed it, but good to go now.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
i thought the gapps zip was just a script to ask you what google apps you wanted from the market?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Nah if you open it up all the apks are in there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
It depends on which package you're downloading. Some of the GAPPS packages have all the apks inside. Some of them only have a few apks inside and then a utility that will ask you what you want, then load those from the market.

But if you download the one recommended for CM7 (gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip according to goo-inside.me), synisterwolf is correct in that a number of the apps will be downloaded from the market. The only apks included in that zip are:

CarHomeGoogle.apk
FOTAKill.apk
GenieWidget.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
LatinImeTutorial.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
MediaUploader.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk

So it will still take you to the market to get GMail, Voice, Maps, etc.

Hey guys quick question. My vibrate option stopped working. My vibrate option "works" iight I manually turn the volume down to vibrate, but when I get a text nothing happens. Trying to narrow down what the problem might be

I'm running HTC Evo CM nightly 7.1.0 supersonic Kernal 2.3.7. I already tried reflashing but nothing changed. Any ideas?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
well there's your problem. you have an EVO and this is the Incredible forum ;)

Have you tried to see if its a "profile" stopping you from get the vib on text.

are you using a 3rd part SMS for your SMS like handcent, or goSMS?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

:D thank you byrong. i knew there were apk's in the zip, but they are for apps that you cant get on the market right? Apps that need to be on a system level and not on a data partition.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
Glad to hear you got everything up and running. One thing else to keep in mind that if you are planning on flashing nightlies, you dont need to do a full wipe everytime between nightlies. just wipe cache and dalvik then flash away.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JohnKuczek:
Is vibration set to always in the messaging app settings? Default is not...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hemipwr07:
Haha yea my bad I'm using the XDA app and couldn't tell where I am. My bad. I'll search elsewhere lol but I'm running goSMS and the goLauncher but this problem happened when I downloaded the latest nightly. My brother has the same phone,same nightly and same apps and is fine so idk what's going on

Sent from my CM7 Rooted Evotastic-ness
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
Go into GOSMS and click "test notification " if it doesn't vib then you need to set it inside goSMS to vib on ever SMS.

I had this on my Inc. I installed PhoneWeaver (QuickProfiles or any profile app should do) and set the profile to vibrate using the app. I removed the app while still set to vibrate and all is working as it used to using just the built in controls. I don't know why, but it worked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Hmmm.. and that's the exact zip I was referring to opening up... Thought I had em all :D Shows what I know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotroot801:
Quick question, since my searches have proven inconclusive:

Does anyone remember if native screenshot was rolled into CM7 before the move to 2.3.5? GPS polling issues with the latest nightlies have kept me at RC1 (it doesn't poll often enough for RunKeeper to remain accurate), and the fix k_flan posted here made it workable in 2.3.4. But I'd really like native screenshot...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
haven't had one problem with GPS. have you tried doing a full wipe and installing the latest nightly?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotroot801:
Yes, I have, and several times at that. Navigation works perfectly fine, but in order to accurately track distance while running or walking, I need k_flan's fix, and it won't work past 2.3.4.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dspcap:
Hey everyone, my wife uses my phone occasionally for looking up recipe's...etc. When she does that, it annoys her that the screen shuts off based on my settings. Isn't there a button that can be added to the notification bar for this? or, what is the easiest way to do this? App or setting please.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
oh. nevermind. i dont use my GPS that way. sorry. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
This is not a notification bar setting, but a widget that might do it for you..

Long press the home screen and select widgets. Next, select Power Control. Uncheck all that is checked and the check off "Screen Time-Out". Then at the VERY bottom you can pick from a few pre-set screen time out levels that can be toggled by pressing this widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
CM7 settings has the power buttons in the pull down menu. Use the screen timeout one and it's just a matter of pushing the button to toggle a longer period.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dspcap:
Thank you for the suggestion, but the screen awake is maxed at 5 minutes. But, based on your suggestion, I remembered Power Widget has an option to prevent the phone from sleeping. Which is perfect. Thank you again

Starting to remember why I switched to MIUI. Battery drain.

I was running MIUI ever since the GB builds started, always ran incredikernel. Battery life was amazing and I got used to having the nice folders, dialer and sms. But recently it started really bogging down, and not even fresh wipes were helping.

I switched to CM a few days ago and even using 128/883 smartassv2, -50mv undervolts, the drops i get are ridiculous and the battery use doesn't show an immense amount of apps running. I lost about 20% sitting in my apartment with wifi on, good signal reception and the screen off in the matter of around 2 hrs.

Does anyone else get this? Maybe it has something to do with that Pulse news app but i have that set to only update every few hours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bengals1975:
good call. I probably would have suggested building a tasker widget but this is simpler and he doesn't have to go buy tasker:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
is your wifi sleep profile set to never?

settings > wireless & network settings > Wi-Fi settings > press menu soft key > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy.

if not try that. if it set to turn off when screen is off that could have to do with it. phone will run back on 3g in the house.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blastthenoise:
I was under the impression that wifi could be as much of a culprit as well. I remember when the nightlies first kicked up, we had to have it set to never otherwise we would get random reboots, and i remembered having abysmal battery back then as well.

I really shouldn't complain, I do have quite a few apps on my phone. I can pretty much control the entire apartment from it (thanks samsung, xfinity, unified remote, phonemypc) lol. I'm starting to think I have a data vampire app running, since I do remember seeing plume constantly running when I checked MIUI battery stats.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SynisterWolf:
Well with wifi its only invoked data when needed. if you for some reason you were on 3g and it dropped the radio will switch to 1x causing more of a battery drain, because of the back and forth, than if it just had wifi all over the house. Because wifi would only be suspended for 3g or 1x if you got a call or MMS.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
I always keep 3G off whenever I am somewhere with wifi, I.e. home, work, friends, etc

I know undervolting is supposed to help but I have just seen more people having issues with it, am I wrong? Could that be a cause of his problems?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blastthenoise:
I really doubt it's my issue. A lot of undervolt issues arise from people who have taken the time to find the voltage values that work justbefore getting bootloops. My 50mv undervolt comes from when i used ViperMod's scripts. I never wanted to take the time to find the minimum possible voltages for all the speeds, and 50mv gives a bump in life without ever getting bootloops. The only thing that i feel occassionally gets me is the max being at 883, but unless I'm running something graphic intensive, it's perfect.

My battery life has gotten better since my afternoon charge. I think I'm going to wipe batt stats, I havent done that in a while even with me flashing weekly miui builds and the incredikernel every time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
I am one of those guys who's tested every frequency Individually at it's max load and found where they become unstable. After I made all my settings I added an extra +25 to all and haven't had problems since.

Dear lord, it's a nicely formated link, complete with OP info...

Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing) by byrong

And now back to my preferred site :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blastthenoise:
Trust me I've read that. I have never been one to bump charge or use SBC. I use my phone as my alarm so bump charging would require turning it off once i get up in the morning and letting it charge more. Not something a college student has time for when we wait til the last minute to get up for class. The only reason I really said anything was because I'm used to losing 20% an hour while in my lab (I work in the middle of a building surrounded by brick, wire, metal and plenty of cabling). I was just concerned with losing 20% sitting on my couch in my apartment where the phone isn't struggling for cell signal.

Offtopic- I think I'm going to follow to Rootz after reading the people whine about the delays on the ICS launcher that IntelSoftApps is working on. Ridiculous how much people beg, or like to think they'll be good beta testers so they get a free app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Just did a fresh install of nightly 235 and before I got anything set up it had reboot on me 3 times. Guess it's hardware related and not software. Back to Verizon I go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
Have you tried neo's wipe method prior to flashing. I remember reading someone else with similar issues and his wipe method seemed to help the other user. Crazy how many issues you are having.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotroot801:
Anyone know the answer?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Which wipe method is that?

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
In cwm recovery, do a data factory reset, wipe cache partition, white Dalvik under advanced options, then under mounts (in main menu) format boot, cache, data, datadata (if there), and system. Do all this only if you're doing a fresh install. This is a method I adopted from WildStang and it apparently cleans your system pretty well

Sent from Tapatalk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
I believe it is a 2x wipe of cache, dalvik, factory, and one other I can't remember. I thought it was this thread he was helping someone else but it may have been in Rootz. When you are doing fresh installs what are you wiping? I have never had any issues and when I flash nightlies I just wipe cache and dalvik and rarely have any issues. My advice would be to go back to the last nand that you had running and flash nightly with just a cache and dalvik and see what happens
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
And you do that 2x right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Well it's actually redundant. Pretty sure only 1 time of each step should work.

Sent from Tapatalk
[Droid Incredible Android Development] POQbum:
useless to do it 2 times, but go ahead :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
I have always thought so too but I remember someone suggesting it and I thought it was Neo, but I guess not. The person having the isues did it after only wiping 1x before and it said it helped.

I have noticed that when I would do multiple cache and dalvik wipes between nightlies that some settings would revert back, i.e. ringtones would be reset. Happened several times.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
no it was me :D I was telling people to factory reset X2, wipe cache partition X2, wipe Dalvik X3, and then format boot X2, System X2, cache X2, and data X2. I think the reason that process has been working for everyone is simply because they hadn't been doing all those steps at least once through. Also, newer versions of CWM already do a number of these steps for you like when you factory reset it wipes cache for you and other stuff.

Hey you should give it a shot. Latest release solved the boot loop issues and I gotta say, everything loads and runs faster.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoops5:
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction GooTz. I did a fresh install of 235 without flashing anything else and it finally dawned on me that I was flashing a morph for the rings as well. It wasn't the morph's fault though. I started using ZipThemer when I flashed 230 and used that build to update the Edify scripting that's used to build the .zip files. I updated the Edify scripting with the 235 nightly and rebuilt the .zip. Flashed it and everything is working perfectly. I'll have to keep that in mind from now on...that's again for the help!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GooTz66:
NP! That was my exact issue too. At the time didn't realize that the mod had to go through ZipThemer for every nightly. Glad you are back up and running.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] br125:
Not sure if any of you have tried the TSM Pool party rom posted by OldManJames. It's a pretty damn good rom, but I've found myself back on cm7, for now at least.

On the TSM rom I loved the honeycomb lockscreen and it went really well with the ICS themes. Has anyone looked at trying to get that over to cm7? I'm trying to re-download TSM to look into making a morph for it but his link is down right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
I have a theme I created that modifies you current lockscreen through metamorph that somewhat resembles it? I'm re-doing it though since I've again modified the icons. It'll be released as a version two today. Here is a link to the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1281572

It still follows the CM7 layout of a lockscreen though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] br125:
Yeah I've seen this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959602

It still follows the rotary lock motion, not quite the same. PoolParty has it just like honeycomb.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
WidgetLocker released a great update today featuring both HoneyComb and ICS style locks. I've been a die-hard WL user for a while and this is just icing on the cake, especially since you can mix/match different styles/widgets to your heart's content. Here's a ridiculous example using ICS, HoneyComb, and Sense 3 all on the same lock screen. There are other styles as well...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Has anybody noticed on nightly 235 that when you unlock the lock circle pops up again after it unlocks?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Neo:
Well here it is in case you feel like giving it a look see and for anyone else interested.

Use Metamorph or Zipthemer

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Compare the phone.apk's first. Sense, the one he's using, and CM are different. I took a glance at it, and saw 6 lines that needed to be edited out on the phone.apk, but didn't get a chance to look at the other one.

Is anyone having any bluetooth issues? I have my phone paired to the stereo in my car for phone calls (no A2DP, just phone capability). This morning, about 2 minutes after starting up the car the BT just dropped the connection. I wasn't using it at all. When I looked at the phone, BT was enabled and it could see the car but just showed "paired but not connected". I turned off the car and when I restarted it, BT paired back up like it was supposed to. So BT on the phone hadn't gone into a wonky state (which was my first thought). This is the 2nd time this has happened in a week, the first time I just wrote it off as a fluke. I've tried to recreate the problem but nothing I try has any affect. Other than these 2 incidents, BT pairing has been fine.

I'm running #12 right now and given how stable it is, I see no reason to upgrade unless another nightly maintains the same stability/features while addressing my concerns below. So, anyone have any idea on the following?

Battery meter - in 6.1.0 I had the option to turn on a percentage display on the battery icon. I can't find that option here, or it's not included. If the latter, is it just excluded from this nightly, or does it look like Cyanogen(mod) won't include this option anymore?

Kernel clock speeds - in 6.1.0 my minimum speed was 128mhz. In this one it's 245. The former allowed me to use SetCPU profiles to further throttle down in certain cases which resulted in a nice battery life gain. Any input on their reasoning behind this?

HTC Tablets...

There are tons of juicy rumors around the "twittersphere" regarding HTC tabs...but there has been some spec leaks on a tablet the HTC "Flyer". I found it over at androidheadlines.com and androidcentral...7 in 1024x600 res, Qualcomm MSM8255 processor, HDMI port, DLNA enabled, 5mp rear dual led flash, 1.3 mp front, HSPA connectivity, LTE and a new version of Sense thats more desktop like...I REALLY hope to see CM ported to the tablets it would be like a NOS injection lol. The test units have GB but they will more than likely ship with Honeycomb. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaykresge:
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm guessing the new music app, or other changes outside the music app, now makes this more demanding. At 128mhz on 6.1.0, music played fine. Still, I won't complain.

You may be a lucky one of the few. I know I can't play at 128 with any rom, you could always ask invisiblek to make you a custom kernel with that frequency included

[Droid Incredible Android Development] sunder74:
wipe, wipe and wipe again...

I know some people say there's no need to wipe between bot build flashes but...Ive been using android since the beginning and I wipe every flash every time. The main reason is it simply eliminates the "what if it was cache/data" causing issues between flashes. I live by "when in doubt wipe it out" lol...I know its a pain to reload and set everything up every flash but that's the price we pay for being rom whores no? I really think they're getting close to a public RC and considering these aren't even "beta" the final build should be butter smooth. The whole CM team deserves mad kudos for being this far along.
