Remember you may need to use " ./ " before your adb command, depending upon your system.

Once you have the SDK, it's as simple as:

./adb remount

./adb push blablablaupdate.zip /sdcard/blablablaupdate.zip

Any idea how to get the auto brightness to work. My brightness is set to automatic but it does not seem to work. I went in the CyanogenMod Settings and enabled the functionality under Display but moving from a dark room to a brighter room does not seem to change my screen's brightness. This works fine in FR008. Anybody has the same issue?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ValkyrieLiberty:
Book app? I'm lost lol....
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I haven't had issues other than the typical slightly wonky behavior.

first thing to check would be to see if your sensor is working in this rom. Go to:

settings>cyanogenmod settings> display> automatic backlight> edit other levels

Hold your thumb over the sensor (just above the a in att) and see of it drops (mine goes to 33 minimum). Hold it right up to a bright light to see if it goes up.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Outta curiosity, did the screen on/off animations stop working for anyone else quite a while ago?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Check spare parts and see if animations are set to fast. Screen on/off will only work at normal or slower.
[HTC Aria Android Development] powerchess:
Does anyone else find that wifi is a bit more unstable than it used to be? I noticed that turning off and turning on the wifi is not sufficient to to make the wifi work, I need to forget and reconnect..

No Connect or Disconnects using USB data cable

I've seen several posts on here about people having intermittent trouble getting the phone to either connect or stay connected to a system via the USB data cable. I never had this problem with the stock 2.1 or on FR008, but have had it happen repeatedly since going to CM7, and when it occurs, it doesn't matter which one of my Win7 or Linux systems I try to connect to, the problem persists with all of them.

Contrary to suggestions that have been posted here, that it must be a system USB driver issue, it appears that this is not the case.

I finally figured out that rebooting the phone will fix the problem every time, at least in my case.

So, if your having this problem, try rebooting the phone. ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] ValkyrieLiberty:
How do I install gapps after flashing just the gapps.zip?
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
Not for me. Sceen animations are go.

[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
That's why. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Wifi was a little flaky for me at first with build 14 but it seems to have settled down.

One thing I have noticed is that I have more battery drain with these latter builds. Usually I charge at night, I pull the phone off the charger around 10 PM and by 5 AM I would lose around 5% of battery. Now overnight I seem to lose closer to 30%. The battery drain seems to coordinate with the version change to 2.3.3, not sure though.

I do a full wipe before each flash and set the phone up the same way each time.

Regardless this is an amazing rom! Thanks for your hard work devs!
[HTC Aria Android Development] R2D2_SW:
I tested as you indicated and my sensor seems to work. It dropped to 33 with my thumb and went up after I removed it. So I guess my brightness adjustment are not set-up to be as responsive as in the FR008 rom. There are so many settings in there and some I have no idea what they do. I'll keep trying different settings and see if I get a quicker reaction when the lighting changes.

Many Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Anyone know if geotagging is enabled or disabled in cm7 or at least the latest nightly?

There are very few options in the camera menu.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
A couple things that are set as default, that I don't use, will limit the "changeyness" of the screen:

in the automatic backlight menu, make sure the light sensor filter is disabled (unchecked). This will slow the change both up and down, as it averages sensor readings over time. tweak to your preference, mine is off.

also check the box for allow light decrease: if this is unchecked, the display will never dim once a level has been set by the sensor, until the display turns off again. I believe this is default not checked. Along with this, go into hysteresis, and turn it down to 0 or 10%; it is default at 50%, which makes it rare, unless you are going from sunlight to a darkish room, for the display to be allowed to dim.

These items are there to decrease the amount of change the screen has while you are looking at it, but for me, they keep it too bright too often at default.

I have also significantly lowered the light levels at each sensor span - again, too bright for me at default. I haven't played with the ranges on the spans, but I suspect that they could be more optimized for our device

Hope that helps
[HTC Aria Android Development] woodbane:
This helped me and I didn't even ask the question! :D I've been looking for a simple explanation of what all the light tweaks do for ages - to date I've been leaving them alone as I haven't dared fiddle with them.

Many thanks!:D

Just decided to try once more and factory data reset and format /system install cm7 then install gb gapps and all has been fine for over 2 hours now.... when at first you dont succeed try again try again then whine about it then try again and it will work to make you look like a fool. :)

[HTC Aria Android Development] indy55:
As stated earlier, there certainly is something going on with hidden wifi networks. I was unable to see or connect to my hidden network, but as soon as I changed it to broadcast ssid, it connected right away. I am using build 6 at the moment and this is the first build that I have tested.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Well you won't be able to "see" your SSID in the list if you have broadcast off, but I'm sure you know that already. As for connecting, did it work on whatever ROM you were using before CM7? Out of curiosity, what happens if you connect while broadcast is on and then turn broadcast back off?
[HTC Aria Android Development] indy55:
It worked fine before using CM 6.1.1. When turning off broadcasting, my aria loses the wifi connection, so it appears it has something to do with connecting to hidden networks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jbizz:
Everything is running great for me except for 1 small Wi-Fi issue. When I connect to my home router, I connect fine and stay connected. If I leave the hosue, and come back, it will say looking for networks. I will toggle Wi-Fi and it still will not find it in the list. Last night it said I was out of range. Leave Wi-Fi on, and reboot, it picks it up instantly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
I just have a Ext3 partition with DT A2SD for Apps + Dalvik. GPS didnt work with build 4, then wiped out everything, including formatting the Ext3 partition and proceded to install build 6 and DT A2SD. Still no GPS lock. Not even one sat shows up.

Yeah, happened something like that, like it wasnt scanning for new networks, but I turned it off and on and it found my house ap.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MythicBlue:
the biggest issue for me is the wifi....it's all but reliable...constant disconnects while browsing the web and the market and it took me five attempts to download the nightly(i actually gave up on the wifi and just downloaded the nightly via 3g... which had no problems)... i am really liking this rom so hopefully the wifi bugs will be worked out... with froyo i had a quadrant of 1075 and now with gingerbread i have 1177...woohoo!
[HTC Aria Android Development] zervic:
Just figured I'd point this out to you :D
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Currently running build 4, with dt apps2ext with an ext3 partition. Seeing slight instability when overclocking to 806 with interactive governor (same as I had on cm6.1.1) seems to be fine at 787. GPS working fine, just did a test and l locked 8 sats in about 90 seconds while sitting at my kitchen table. First use of gps since flashing this version. No wifi connection issues - superpower doesn't seem to kill wifi when not connected though...will have to further test that.

Battery life so far seems better when device is idle, and worse when screen on, relative to 6.1.1. This may be due to higher than normal usage levels though.

DD
[HTC Aria Android Development] msherwood:
I don't know what was different in CM 6.1, but I believe this was a problem inherent to Android, not just the ROM. I've heard of people on almost every device and iteration of Android (all the way up to 2.3 now) who have problems connecting to hidden SSIDs. Unfortunately I've never had the problem so never bothered to find an answer.

On a side note, I have CM7 build 4 on my Aria and absolutely love it - everything is working great, save a small bug where I can't use USB storage mode when connected to my PC. Anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Nutshell69:

adfree

So before I flashed nightly 14, I extracted with 7 zip, added the hosts file to system/etc then zipped it. So my question would be why would it not be there after flashing? adfree works after I pushed the hosts file with ADB. :confused:

[HTC Aria Android Development] DroidRunner:
Hebrew and English
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
As it applies to English installations, the only significant thing I know of is that RC2 had one settings screen that was in the wrong (Hebrew) language. That was corrected in 14.

There may be some other minor changes though that I'm not aware of.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bikedogrun:
Ah... CM Settings/System/Update notifications are indeed in Hebrew!

Got it, thanks... unless there is anything else, I'll just hang with RC2 (for now).

Yea sorta, it's weird but I either just redo the password and everything and it fixes or I just turn it off. i think its the wifi network or whatever you want to call it that messes up not the phone because I go to another room and its fine. Hope I could be a little helpful

[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Hmmm...I'm digging here, as I haven't heard of this since early attn1 builds (can't remember if it was liberated or early cm6). Is it possible you either ended up with a screwed up APN, or the APN got edited?

For MMS on ATT, check here for your APN:

Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>access point names>ATT

In the list of settings after clicking on ATT, check the last setting - it should be:

default,supl,mms

I am not really familiar with what other settings in this page are acceptable or not, so can't troubleshoot for you. If you make a change here, try rebooting and re-trying mms.

Hope that helps.

[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
So I just partitioned my SD card ext3, and downloaded S2E. I want to flash the new nightly 17. Do I just do the normal wipe cache and dalvik and install? Curious to know if anything were to change. Being that I have a partitioned card. I'm currently running cm7 rc2. Thanks guys.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
You shouldn't need to wipe cache or dalvik, but it doesn't hurt anything if you do.

If you haven't installed s2e yet, I would proceed as follows:

nandroid backup

install s2e and reboot (the reboot may take a while)

make sure things are working correctly

flash 17
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tx Redneck:
Just flash, no need to wipe this and that. Be sure to nandroid as always.

Mine has always worked from the get-go. the only explanation that I can think of is that I did a complete wipe before I installed my first nightly. have not done a complete wipe since. just cache and dalvik.

+1 here, full wipe including format /system (after a couple boot loops and a more thorough read of the instructions) going to original nightly 1 from cm6.1.1 and I have never had gps failure. I use it almost daily.

I jumped on the nightly wagon later than than first, but I feel like a complete wipe to the nightlies might solve issues.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Cmon, dont be flojo and just do the nandroid back up from 6 and then to 7, it takes 10 mins :P

[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I had to do a nandoid from 6 to 7 and that's what always gets the GPS working. It really does take an easy 10mins. Every 3-4 nightlys I see myself doing the GPS trick. No worries though. I Love this cm7 rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vicmora5:
I'm pretty sure these are the steps to correct that problem

No GPS issues here on nightly 17. I haven't had any GPS issues since nightly 1 when I applied the flash cm6 fix. I have no rhyme or reason to how i flash nightlys. I usually wipe cache/dalvik, but not always. Every once in a while ill do a full data wipe before flashing if I get bored.

Nightly 17

Ok, so I have flashed several nightlys and nightly 17 is the first one where I'm having GPS problems. I have done the cm6 to nandroid several times now. Usually it take once. I've rebooted several times on top of it. It would get a lock the first time, but then later I'd check on it and there would be no GPS icon in the top. I had the GPS on. No biggie, reverted back to rc2 where everything is solid for now. Oh, I also tried clearing data on maps and still nothing. Running 5.1.0. Just putting it out there.

Weird GPS + latest update of maps work. I did a clean install of nightly 17 after some recent nightly problems and everything seems better.

[HTC Aria Android Development] mellowdude88:
I followed this and it seemed to go through just fine, however...

My problem is that when I go to clockwork and attempt to flash the file, I get an error that the SD card is unable to mount.

When I first started flashing mods, I would simply use a card reader to put the latest flash on my sd card, pop it into the Aria, and flash away.

I don't understand why it won't work now.

I am thinking about using nandroid to go way way back, and try starting from a much earlier build.

I am a bit reluctant to go there if I don't have to.
