Anyone having problems with theme chooser?

See the attached picture. I have 5 themes installed, the 3 stock themes and two additional ones. The System theme the preview is full size, the other two stock ones are about 1/2 size and the two others don't show at all, I can select them, but it's hard. I am using the Mixer theme right now, and you can see it's selected, and them chooser is pointing between two themes. The other theme is in that same space also.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I flashed RC4 and started having connection issues (I wipe cache and dalvek and format /system between all builds) which i could not fix. Did a full wipe (fastboot erase, etc.) and reloaded RC3 - which gave me no problems).

PS - XDA was doing maintenance or something, timed out a lot and was very slow. Better today - but I don't think back to normal.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
Confirming the same problem, but I don't have as many themes so i was able to select the one i needed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
I got that too, got the minimal themes, so i got 7 themes to choose from and have no problem choosing them.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] XfooYen:
Theres a Theme Chooser.apk which is said to fix this issue. I think I saw it posted on the Buuf Theme thread in Android Themes forum.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] highv0ltage:
The custom agent for MMS didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Thanks, found it, but it did not fix it. Seems to be a problem in newer theme chooser if there is no preview for a theme.

Edit: ok, I unzipped there "flashable" fix and just installed the two apk's and it fixed it.

Cool. Good to know theres a fix. If it doesn't get implemented into nightlies, perhaps it should go into the faq.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
The "Fix" just looks to be the older version of the Theme Chooser.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
After rebooting phone, theme Chooser reverted back to skinny previews and no previews.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Really, Rebooting now.

Edit: you are correct. mmmmmmmmmm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
How did it go?

Edit: did you just install like any apk file or push with adb?

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
I just installed like any other apk, and you are right, goes back on reboot.

SO, I used Root Explorer and moved them in to /system/app and replaced the ones there and then clicked each one and installed.

Now on reboot, all is fine.

Also, I change Permissions on the files in root explorer
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Thanks, was just doing same thing. I must admit, I prefer skinnier previews. :-)

Edit: I was mistaken, prefer original size preview. ;-/ BTW, good to go after reboot.

I can't get oovoo to video chat at all. Just calls and messaging. Any help

Can't receive inbound calls

I am having the same issue. But I went from RC2 to RC4.

Outbound calls work fine. If I call my cell from my home it doesn't ring. but if i call my home from my cell all works.

Seems like a pretty high priority opportunity. Now to figure out the cause.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xdviper:
This is what I'm really paranoid about. Ive been dealing with a bunch of job interviews this week and I'm worried that this is the reason why they've been calling my house phone instead of cellphone. But I just tired it and it works but I'm guessing does it always work?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
I have rc4 on 4 mt4gs with out that issue. riding smooth daily
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
I upgraded from RC2 to RC4 today and when booting my phone just kept looping the cyanogenmod start up screen. I left it for about 10 minutes and it kept doing it. Even after doing a full wipe then reflashing RC4, same problem. Wiped again and went back to RC2 with no issues.

Not sure what was wrong, but I'll try maybe with the next RC as RC2 has been extremely stable for me with no issues at all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] johnjjschmidt:
Did you reboot after flashing but before tapping on the android upon bootup?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
And also make sure u wipe cache and dalvik...

Inbound call issues

I figured out the possible cause...

If I have my WIFI radio turned on then the calls do not come thru, but I I have the WIFI radio OFF I receive the calls as I should.

Now to figure out why...

Oovoo only supports 2.2.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] 2leaponover1:
Ugh did a full system wipe, dunked it in soapy water and cleaned out the insides and I still have that damn GPS problem where it won't lock on. I haven't had a chance to try wifi yet since i'm at work. I also noticed I get a crappy signal and am getting no signal at all in places where I used to have 1 to 2 bars. I hope I get Wifi at home because if I don't this is 3 major things wrong. I'll never understand why some people have problems and others don't. I know for a fact the gps and wifi has been an issue for other people. I might have to go back to Iced Glacier considering gingerbread isn't that much of a bump up or anything that special. So frustrated right now!!

running cm RC4 and faux kernel 2.4.4 or something like that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] G1-evolve:
Im pretty sure I saw moolie options to disable this but my phone keeps vibrating while calling people even if the call is dialing or connected
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daprince047:
It's in call settings
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
It is not unusual to have a slow initial connection of the GPS after installing a new ROM - especially after a full wipe (I did so a few days ago). If you do not have GPS Status app installed - do so from the market. Then use it to lock the GPS on first time after flashing. It includes A-GPS data updates - which really help. Even a full time GPS like a TomTom takes quite a while to lock on fist time and in different areas first time booted up there.

AS for the WiFi issue - this is a surprising and increasing frustrating issue that the CM7 developers have apparently put on the back burner (or no burner). So much effort goes into things like video, themes, and minor tweaks while a major issue like WiFi goes unaddressed.

Faux demonstrated that it is possible to get this working as good as the stock ROM (am not asking for better), but it needs to have a fair amount of additional work to make it error free (hotspot does not work with the trial version).

This is not a challenge to get faux to work more on it (he is working on so many projects I am surprised he gets any sleep). The challenge is to the rest of the community - please fix this one.

Many are noting the problem, and unlike many (possibly most) issues filling these threads that are largely due to the "noise" carried over from multiple flashes without doing a full wipe - this is directly tied to the CM7 WiFi driver and apparently it can be improved. Thanks again faux for demonstrating this.

gmail message format

everything in RC4 is working great for me but the gmail message format is off. the messages are word wrapping at about 50% of the screen, so the other 50% is only whitespace. does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
As of right now, turn it sideways then back to portrait.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
i think i did it, but just in case, how do you "lock the GPS on"

awesome app, by the way
[myTouch 4G Android Development] phaino00:
Once the GPS status app provides your latitude and longitude, the GPS is so called locked in.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
You (the user) can't *make* the phone get a GPS lock, but with GPS Status you can flush and re-download A-GPS data (under Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state), which should at least help it get a lock sooner.

You can also try turning on the GPS and then rebooting (with it still on).
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tnpapadakos:
cool, i got it then

thanx guys

I always leave my GPS on and it locks really quick. No noticeable battery impact from what I can tell since GPS seems to turn on only when needed. I'm on RC4 and Faux's LV 2.4.3.

Do you mean screenshots? There are some apps that do it (ShootMe, DroCap, probably more), but I do it through USB Debugging.

Never even heard that way...is that through the emulator?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fsrick:
after 2 days use, the system shows that display only takes 2% of the battery use and android system takes about 60%. in the stock rom, display normally takes 40% or more. is this normal?

Depends on how often the screen is on and brightness.

Anyone else having this issue: everything goes black meaning all icons dissapear , launcher icons, dock etc.. even pop-up prompts such as reboot or shutdown. And if an app is open every iinteractive thing disappears with the exception of the background. Could it be my metamorph themes???

Help would be appreciated

Btw rebooting the device by "guessing" where the reboot button is at fixes the issue temporarily
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fsrick:
brightness is set to auto as before. i used the phone to surf the web quite offten, so it is strange.

After attempting to just upgrade from rc2 I wiped everything then reflashed. Didn't work. I never even made it to the screen to click on the android. It just stayed at the cyanogen bootup screen.

U using recovery 3.0.0.5? Orange txt
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Marine6680:
Decided to try CM7 again after using sense ROMs for a while.

Did have one issue with everything though. When I enabled WiFi, the WiFi calling message popped up, shortly after the phone did a hot restart. I tried to disable WiFi with no luck, as the phone did a hot restart again. Tried to enable airplane mode, still no luck.

So either the WiFi driver was acting up, the WiFi calling was, or both were.

Went into the recovery and flashed the latest Faux kernel and all is good again. I did want to try out the default kernel for a while first, but oh well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Why just a hot restart, why not try a full reboot then see what happens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jlacy76:
Anyone tried to modify the refresh rate on the GPS reciever to update faster? I miss my turn before it updates sometimes.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jlacy76:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Marine6680:
The phone was doing it on its own. It wasn't doing a full reboot, just to the cyanogen boot screen. Basically just a kernel brain fart from what I could tell.

I'm having an issue with call waiting on RC4. If I'm on the phone and get a second call but don't pick it up, the phone will drop my current call when I get the missed call notification. Anyone else?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mdkathon:
I will see if this can be reproduced on my device tonight.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gordonzhao:
Ditto on my end, in 8 hours, with moderate use of 2-3 1 minute calls and 20 or so SMS I'm down to 35%, and I'm running on Faux's Kernel, Smartass.

This answer may be irrelevant because I'm not positive, I'm still touching the surface of Android, but that sounds like the radio, when I was running a WinMo phone the radios came in separate flashes, you can look into that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mstreet28:
+1 - running Faux 2.4.3. LV Kernel. GPS locks on quick. With WIFI good reception. Battery life on my MT4G leaves a tremendous amount to be desired.

Should I switch back to the stock radio/kernel? Any links to to a good a radio? Also running RC4.

Another note - when using Google's Car Home app I've noticed that when I have a music player running (Player Pro / SoundCloud / Songbird) and the Navigation/Maps app running, the announcements for Voice Guided directions are extremely muted. All volumes settings are at full tilt.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dybrn:
I flashed the faux123 "CM7 2.3.0 Special CFS tweaked Kernel" and then "CM Kernel 2.4.4 Stock Voltage #86" and it resolved my issues.

I have found best battery life with faux lv kernels and either smartass or minmax governor. I am Oc'd at 1612. You did not say if you ere oc'd nor which governor you were using.

I have also found the speaker output somewhat muted with volume set full on, but that seems to be a CM7 issues I have noticed for some time.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
Hm, my speaker is really loud. I always here good about faux kernels but when i try em they always make my fone lag.

How is your battery life? Mine seems to be significantly worse than nightlies. Market is being fussy as well. Funny, I had zero problems on nightlies without wiping ever. As soon as I decide to do it right and do fastboot wipe, data/cache wipe and install RC - all of the sudden I have more problems then ever. Still, nice to have gingerbread before any other phone gets it officially :-)

Running a clean install of RC4 after a full factory reset, format /system, wiped cache and dalvik. Been running very well for a few days and having very good battery life and performance.

But now for the second time my phone has locked up when sleeping (with screen off). I could not wake via power button or via trackpad. Had to do a battery pull to get it back. What could be the cause of this? What would be the best way to determine what caused it?

Thanks for any help...

[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
same here but my phone actually wakes up does the screen on animation, but lockscreen stays cannot move the lockscreen to unlock position. Although I can see my nexus revamped live wallpaper moving as the lockscreen is transparent. when I hold the power button, nothing comes up just blurs the screen, I have to guess and push reboot or shutdown to resolve this issue... also my messaging app goes dark, sometimes browser goes white, only way to solve this issue is to long press back button to kill the task but then my HOME screen disappears! and after killing everything using the back button everything seems to be static or invisible only the live wallpaper can be seen moving...

any help?

Actually am using the SV kernel.

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Out of real ideas now.

Since you started with a clean wipe, carryover flash stuff should not be the cause. But it would not hurt to maybe wipe cache and dalvek, format /system and reflash the nightly (or an RC), gapps and the kernel again.

No idea if that will clear it up, but only takes about 5 minutes to do this. I do that before every flash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
Thank you for the ideas and follow up. Do you know if there is a log file or something that would indicate which app is causing an issue? Maybe it is Widget Locker which I installed just so I could have a custom picture on my lockscreen.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Faux specifically asks for a logcat to determine issues with his kernels. I have never set one up, but I have seen instructions in this forum which might pop up with a search.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mulletcutter:
There is a app in the market, logcat.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
Have you used a logcat capture program before? I ran one (CatLog) a few times and it seems to record what is happening in real time. My issue is causing a lockup that forces me to reboot. Will the logcat program be able to show me what happened during the time leading up to the reboot?
