First boot

How long takes the first boot with v1.7.1? I'm waiting for a while now without any result.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
It normally takes about 2-3 minutes for me. If it isn't done after 5-10 minutes something probably went wrong. Make sure you are using the newest Amon_RA recovery (1.7.0.1), and that you are wiping everything (data/cache/dalvik-cache/ext-partition) before flashing a Gingerbread ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MMaxim:
Krizp0, thanks very much. I did all again, now it works!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thantos2024:
It has always failed to render to texture with all GB Rom's and as of yet a fix hasn't been found. I have a feeling that this a an issue on the interaction between the driver and the GB framework, specifically the com.google.android.gles_jni module, but I'm no dev so probably talking crap. Given time I have no doubt one of the talented dev's out there will figure it out.

maps 3D

What's happened with maps-3D-update.zip? How does one enable 3D Google Maps without it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
GPS is working for me.

3D Maps is missing for me too. I have Maps vers. 5.2.1

And the blackscreen bug occured again in 1.7.1, even with libsurfaceflinger.zip. I did full wipe and format before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
For 3D map you need to change your OpenGL version in build.prop found in /system.

Change this ro.opengles.version=65536

To this: ro.opengles.version=165537
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
In previous versions I think it was on without any custom changes or am I wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Janzomaster:
Hi there,

first of all it's great to see you back in business :)

I've got one problem though: with 1.5 and also with 1.7.1 now, I can't mount my sdcard. The log says "Failed to unmount /mnt/secure/staging (Device or resource busy)" and then gives up after a couple of tries.

I can use the sdcard in a sdcard reader and I can mount it using the recovery image.

While researching I found this https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2181

Supposedly it is solved. USB debugging has no effect on my problem though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Krizp0:
You may be right about that, but for now you have to change it to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Done. ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
Same here for me, getting blackscreen even after the flashing the zip.

is there anyway you can make the phone app, more important to the memory manager so that it isnt killed so often and then having to wait for it to reopen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
+1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Matri}{:
I'm using Tasker to reopen dialer by Display OFF event.

Profile actions:

Load app Dialer

Load app GO Sms

Go Home

Then I made cooldown in task properties to 10 min.

And now there is no need to wait reopening of dialer or sms app :)

After CM7 final release I'll take a look at lowmemorykiller sourcecode. As for me it is more convenient to use text-file which contains a list of strings the presence of which cancels kill.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
I also have been hit with the black menu bug again, I have latest ROM elelinux 1.7.1 with the latest fix http://www.elelinux.se/7.0.0/v1.7.1_...aceflinger.zip installed.

Is this bug still alive with Riemer's kernel, or is the kernel not influencing this bug ? Maybe I should give it a try ...

*** Edit : this was with all animations enabled in the options menu. ***

anyone else have problems with Market,

not showing letters when i write in search?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
Think that is down to the graphics bug
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jh71:
I have had it in other applications, like Opera browser 11.

Sometimes it is fixed by rotating the phone.

I think it is linked to the memory leak problem (aka black menu bug).

A reboot should fix it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well I know it, would rather not post the fix as I had before, then graphics get laggy again not a good solution.Looking for other solutions have patience or downgrade to v 1.6

Is there a possibility to add h264 codec to browser or CM7 in general?

On the other hand, after installing 1.7.1 and restarting the phone the black screen bug disapeared.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Wait and after a day of phone usage it will say hello again.

A reboot a day, keep the blackscreen away ;)

Skyfire doesn't play nice with this or any other gingerbread rom. The video playback repeatedly jumps out after a minute or two. Is this in any way related to the graphic bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Whyt_e:
could be incompatible with 2.3 or the bug, wait and see once the bug has been ironed out.

Hey, what network are you using? in the UK, O2 are having problems with their internet, which is also affecting MVNO's using O2, like giffgaff, not sure about tesco, but that may be the cause of your mobile network problems, not the rom itself

Facebook photo uploading problem

Lately I've been having a problem with the facebook photo uploading. It just got stuck at 0% and the notification entry would never go away until reboot. And I'm pretty certain it's not a problem with my Internet connection..... trying both WiFi and mobile data with no luck :(

Also I'm not sure since when this problem has started to show its ugly face... because I haven't used such feature for a long time until recently.

I tried re-install facebook, wipe cache/dalvik-cache and re-flash the rom (didn't perform full wipe, just cache/dalvik-cache)..... all with no luck.

Any ideas anyone ??

Hi

Thanks for a great rom - it's really stable so far.

One issue I'm having is that I can't pair it to my bluetooth headset. The pairing request comes up and I enter the pin, but nothing happens.

I have bean experiencing a rather annoying bug with the ROM. every now and again menus and apps stop rendering but the app will still respond to my touches.

I have tried Re flashing the rom no luck :/ please if anyone know how to fix this bug please respond.

This bug is the only thing stoping me from making this ROM my daily use ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
This is the blackscreen bug, isn't it?

I use v1.6, there I have no problems. In newer versions >=1.7 the animations are smoother, but the bug is back too. The animations are not so important to me, so I put them off in 1.6 and I'm happy with it.

For downloading v1.6 google for it. It is on zippyshare, I think. If the interest is great enough, I will reupload it on my ftp, just give any feedback.

Is it possible for this rom to have the 3d app drawer instead of the 2d one

In launcher pro I have the opsion to have the 3d app drawer and it works pretty well

You can also simply install LauncherPro if you prefer to have that one over the one currently used (the stock 2.3 one from what I can see?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rfgamaral:
So, I'm going on this trip in May and I was thinking of updating my phone with this ROM in about a week (after that and til the trip day I won't have time to do so) but reading the posts from the last few pages is keeping me undecided if I should go for this ROM, or maybe the Froyo one (from Elelinux too).

I'll be needing my phone with everything working and I want to avoid huge problems that keep me from using the phone until I flash something else. I can't be bothered doing that during the trip.

What do yous guys think? Should I go for Gingerbread or Froyo, which I assume, is a lot more stable?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chadoe:
After using GPS I have to reboot or the battery will be drained within a couple of hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Froyo is very stable, if you exchange the maps framework(described in the thread). I use 1.6 gingerbread, because there is no blackscreen bug
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pkn3000:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
GPS get a fix in between 10-20 seconds for me. I use v1.8. Maybe try another radio. I tried an old one before and it did not get a gps fix either. This could be a solution.

At the moment i use the ...PU..., the ...SU... drains too much battery to my mind.

Did you try it outside? At home in our living room i did not get any gps fix. Too big walls and steelbeams which damp and absorb the signals.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bieniu:
I have invisible menu in one place. Google Maps 5.3 click menu -> Latitude -> menu -> Settings -> Manage my places (or something like that, I use polish version). And there should be a menu (on Froyo there is) but it's invisible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wdaccache:
Tried it everywhere outside, inside, near the windows without any luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcero:
Then maybe try another Radio or even another ROM.

I got no GPS fix with elelinux speedmachine and GB versions until I change my Radio

Thanks,in v1.8, I have submitted the patch erasmux suggested and added the code for 2.3.2 in SurfaceFlinger,did nothing with gralloc because I did not want to affect the graphics but may perhaps consider the matter.

Think it's strange that google does not do something about this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikarbach:
I always wondering about the bugfix policy of google. Actually I have a SMS-notification bug, which was not fixed over two years. And indeed it is a bug in android, which does not correctly handle the sms-delivered-notification, which every other phone-OS does correctly, actually unbelievable.
