Works great! But have an issue, seems like I'm the only one :/

Through Rom Manager or Recovery itself, I can tell it to install this upgrade over my current install of CM7 RC4, but it seems like it won't run scripts (which are enabled) and thus doesn't back up my Gapps. It'll just say "Installing update" but nothing more until it's finished. Upon booting, all apps and everything are gone as if I installed a fresh copy of Cyanogenmod, then my wallpaper will show and a small number of my apps will populate the app drawer. Market isn't there, either. Where did I go wrong? First time I had this issue updating, and I've restored my latest nandroid of RC4 to try again and so far nothing. :/ Wanting to upgrade out of RC4, but it seems I'm stuck here for now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Great job, thank you, runs very smooth and no problems at all so far.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
thx cyanogen and team ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lolToasty:
Gorgeous. If I didn't love Sense, I'd use this.

By the way, I noticed that turning the screen back on would flash the previous screen before going to the lock screen. It seems like that would get annoying after a while. Just bringing it to your attention.

Thanks for the amazing ROM.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Primer65:
Wireless worked until I flashed miguel's kernel. Not entirely sure if the kernel broke wireless or no since I only gave it 10 minutes before I flashed the kernel. I have to go to work though so wont be able to figure it out till I get off, will report this afternoon. Wireless didn't work for me on any of the cm7 RC's or Nightlies, so this stable might be good news for those of us that have been having this known issue!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bearshare:
Things work flawlessly but I have to check how long the battery lasts...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nobreak1970:
Thanks brother!!! :)

Good stuff.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Is WiFi still an issue? WiFi never worked for me in any of the nightlies :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
GPS was back words for me today, I did a full wipe before installing the stable release last night.

The GPS worked fine for me on nightly 37, I used it yesterday.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
let me know please...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
Ever since RC4 I've been getting about 27 hours of battery life on 825 conservative.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kitila:
well im still have the same WIFI prob since CM6 says its working but doesnt...well back to arayray
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SlimDan22:
If anyone is having Wifi problems, it would be helpful to post your problems on the issue checker, also would be great to post a log as well as your radio, hboot, and rom version

For the log:

Just run ADB LOGCAT > Logfilename.txt

Here are the links to the WIFI issues on the issue tracker for the Slide

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Primer65:
Reflashed CM7, Miguel's kernel DOES break Wifi. Once again, wifi did not work for me on any of the nightlies or RC's, but is working flawlessly with this stable release. Sorry to the people still having issues, but hopefully most of us will be able to rejoice in the glory that is cm7 with wifi! Thank you Team Douche/Cyan
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingu:
It appears that the GPS isn't working backwards so much as it's working in a fixed direction. (Mines at 27 degrees off of north.) If someone could tell me how to extract the gps settings/files from nightly 32 to insert into cm7.0 stable, I'd appreciate it, as everything else appears to be working just fine; only the GPS issue of a fixed direction remains.

Edit: Using Waze and yes I moved it from the sd card with no change.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I experienced this today and I had not before. Very disconcerting. This was while using 7.0

I had been using RC4 and 31 prior to that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dgrwe2512:
CM7 Stable

Has anyone else had an issue with loosing root after flashing cm7 stable? I did and I cant figure out why. So I restored my last back up and everything was fine. I guess I'll wait a couple of days and try it again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] traderx2009:
Updated the wife's phone to the official release, and can't get a lock on gps? Tried reflashing radio to no avail, anyone else?

Edit- redownloaded and reflashed. All is well. Thanks...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] American Standard:
GPS does work for me somewhat, however, gps status reports that it takes between 119 - 136 seconds to get its first fix, despite seein 11 satellites.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SlimDan22:
Does anyone know what Clockworkmod recovery version is needed to properly flash CM7?

I'm just trying all possibilities to figure out why my WIFI worked great in CM6 for me and now barely works in CM7

I browsed the mirror for recoveries for CWM3 for the slide

http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/

but 2.5.07 is the latest which i already have flashed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MDSkinner:
I don't know the answer but do know that I am in the same boat as you where Wifi turns on but will just stop working. That said, it has been this way for me with every Nightly that I have flashed, each release candidate and now obviously with the stable release. Not sure what to say, since for some this is not a problem at all but it would seem that a few of us are very unlucky when it comes to this issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
Navigation is still terrible in RC4 and stable 7.

RC3 works fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
CMW 3 is still experimental.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SlimDan22:
Yup i am in the same boat, i have not had any stable Wifi with any of the CM7 releases, it is just weird because wifi worked perfect for me in CM6, i dont have a data plan so wifi is pretty important for me

I guess i'm staying with CM6 for a while
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gtmaster303:
anyone having some intermittent issues should do a full wipe and flash.

a fresh install is the best way to go most of the time
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
No issues here. Running miguel kernel a2sd darktremor cm7 stable latest radio.

Gps fine

Wifi fine

Nav fine

Kb lights fine

Not seeing any of the issues others are seeing. I did a full wipe cleared caches and allowed google to restore my apps
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] phantomzer0:
Can anyone who has a 100% working install please post the links you used to get the CM7 package and the gapps?

I've downloaded both from different sources off the CM website and I cannot get wifi to work and gapps refuses to install the market. I'm about to pull out my hair on this. I've formatted system, data, cache, you name it. I don't now what else to try!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
I did mine through rom manager
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I did a clean install, wiped cache, battery stats, dalvik cache, formatted.

GPS is a bust. Seriously, some links to the working radio because this is not working for me.

RC3 install works. If I was messing something up on install it would mess up there as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] phantomzer0:
Sigh.

Followed instructions to a T and still no go. Tried manual download and ROM Manager download. Still no market or wifi access.

I didn't do S-OFF yet or update the radio. I'm doing the radio now, but is S-OFF required? Do you guys with 100% success have S-OFF?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
The latest radio is required for gps/wifi those having issues with these should download and flash the radio found in chiefz reloaded's post.

Flash in this order

Cm

Gapps 012011

Miguel kernerl (optional)

Radio from chiefz

Apps2sd-darktremor version (optional)

All of this after cache wipe dalvik wipe and factory reset. Do it 2x...I do.

Honestly no issues here and I have done nothing special.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] phantomzer0:
Thanks for that, of course I tried and it didn't work. I'm not a noob so I know this shouldn't be a problem.

I've tried everything ten times over and I get the same results every single time, no exception: no wifi and market not installed from gapps. Sigh. Thanks for trying though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Whoareyou:
Just go S-OFF, it has a fail safe built in, so if somthing goes wrong, it restores your original hboot
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pglegend:
I'm using the versions below...they work 100%. I had issues with RC3,4,and stable. I was very close to going back to CR's version OTA. I reconmend using RC2...

android Vers: 2.3.3

Mod Vers: CM7.0RC2

Theme Vers: BluMagic CM7-RC2-Slide

OC Kernel: 6-espressoMAX3
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
I am now rc3, it works perfectly. Previous to that I ran 31.

GPS was just not working with 7 stable or RC4
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] wave_sailor:
adw disappeared again

I've had adw, I think that's how you access the phone/apps/internet in the middle?, close twice on me now. I saw someone say they just reinstalled it. Is there anything special involved with uninstalling and reinstalling it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mmisko:
Issues with GPS

I've also been having issues with GPS after flashing the stable build. I was fine on all the RC builds. I did noticed RC4 seemed to be worse with GPS even though it did work, just took some time to find my location.

I tried re-flashing, full wipe, and re-flashed the radio. Still a no go for me... =(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlswaney73:
Went back to rc3, tried stable, gps is working but the pointer seems stuck in one direction...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lolToasty:
you know what would force me to use cyanogen instead of a sense rom? a way to incorporate the smart dialing that sense mods use. as in, when i open my phone screen and type the first few "letters" of a persons name, their name and picture pops up in the top line above the actual input.

if this was put into cyanogen, id switch over for sure. cyanogenmod is gorgeous but sense simply has a few things that are incredibly useful.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nikol4s:
Use an alternative dialer such as Dialer One like I do.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PhDCharlie:
I appreciate all of the time and effort from the developers.

I couldn't get the GPS to work properly on CM7 final. It took minutes for a GPS lock and was always stuck in the same direction.

I went back to CM6.1 and am happy with that. I get a GPS lock in seconds and it works fine.

Of course, I am missing out on wifi calling and bragging rights amongst friends regarding having Gingerbread.

But, I am happy with 6.1 and am glad that it works well. I guess I should just be happy with 6.1 until I am off contract in 15 months and then I can get a better phone with a carrier of my choice (among the few that are left). it's going to be a long 15 months!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mojoffdawal:
It disappears for me in CM 6.1.1 when I touch and hold the home screen for too long, really weird. I fixed it by going into Settings>ADWLauncher>General Behavior and changing the Swipe down and Swipe up actions. I set one to open/close dock bar and the other to open/close app drawer. Doesn't really work to close the app drawer so I press the home button to leave but it does open/close dock bar when on any of the home screens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rydr1:
GPS ISSUE

I was having a similar problem to other people on here with CM7 ROM where GPS would not lock in. I decided to download GPS status and see what was going on. It looked like the stallites kept being lost and would never get my actual location.

I decided to put look at the compas and turn the compas 360 degrees a few times and my location showed up with all the regular readings. I checked google maps for my location and GPS located me within a few seconds. I then rebooted the phone and restarted google maps and within a few seconds GPS locked me in again.

Im not sure if the GPS is the same as some digital compases where they have to be turned 360 for them to work properly...talking about working properly when I first initiated GPS status it was showing that I facing south east when I was actauly facing west. After the 360 this fixed itself.

Just my personal experience, hopefully it can help a few people.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gtmaster303:
I've been getting a lot of random force closes and app freeze and crashes in CM7 stable.

almost any app on my phone from messaging, angry birds, system panel, and the status bar.

it happens without warning and then my phone will occasionally soft reboot.

any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jacewt:
But then did you navigate with it? The problems really get going when you start moving in a car, Navigation is really a showstopping mess.

I did download a few gps apps and they helped me lock the gps in but none of them helped navigation. i especially notice it when I go the wrong way from what they suggest. It really loses its mind then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
i too was experiencing a lot of random problems with apps closing or freezing. some apps even refused to install. i gave up with the "stable" CM7. RC2 seems to work the better for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kufudo:
I have the gps navigation bugs too :(

I can't complain since this is a free thing and all... but once something goes RC, it means feature freeze and bug fixes only. Why does it feel like full of untested last-minute changes instead?

That's what branching is for...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gregb7677:
Did you try doing a "fix permissions" under rom manager?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I eat my word...when I click wifi to enable it it just immediately says "error"...This fix did work for arayray revamped though
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
arayray revamped is CM6 not CM7
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
I know, but I figured if it worked on cm6 it might on 7. I was the guinea pig do not attempt the wifi fix it doesnt work on cm7.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
I know whats wrong.. with CM7..

All i need IS ANY DEV to.. take.. all of CM7 RC1 and take the BT/WIFI Drivers from BUILD #19 CM7 Nightly and replace them with the CM7 RC1 drivers..

THIS WILL FIX THE WIFI ISSUES WITH CM7 RC1

CM7 19 NIGHTLY was the ONLY NIGHTLY that had fully WORKING wifi for my Slide..

My slide has the broken WIFI issue

any dev WHO can do this..

Will have a HUGE DONATION from me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droopypillow:
My wifi is workin but I do have the max cpu bug..I've tried wiping..reflashing and leaving the stock kernal..but nothing helps..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
if you turn off 3g it will bug out or maybe you were blessed with getting a NON-WIFI ERROR SLIDE
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vietnamazing:
I also am suffering from the max cpu bug. Anyone have any advice on how to fix this? Other than this problem everything else seems to work flawlessly (wifi/gps). I already tried doing clean wipe but still no luck.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
If anyone gets a bootloop it is could be because the google add on is not up to date
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Runs well.

Idk if its heating up, or its cuz I'm on the sun. Its gettin somewhat hot on Miguel ke

rnel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlswaney73:
I also have the max cpu bug, its been there in 38, 39, 40, & now RC1. back to 37

edit: when I try to change the govener it stays stuck on-demand no matter which one I choose.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cswroe:
I appreciate all the work being done, the ROM is nice. I have experienced the CPU issue, as well as a small issue with WiFi. The RC seems to have some problems staying connected to WiFi and the signal strength is also lower. I have reverted to my backup on Nightly 31 and all is running fantastic, smooth, and reliable.

The market does not seem to automatically download apps as well in the RC.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kitila:
Im also have the wifi prob says its on but then tell me so connection on web page been like this since cm6.......
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
Strangely I was one of the unlucky ones having cpu problems with the last few nightlies, but after a dalvik wipe batt stat wipe cache partition wipe rc1 install miguel's kernel install reboot system and waited about 30 minutes everything seems to be running smoothly. I went into my setcpu widget a cpl times and it kept saying setcpu granted superuser permission and then nothing. Finally after doing that a few times the granted superuser permission msg stopped showing up and the governer started working.

Thanks for all the hard work devs gingerbread on my Slide before the official release for the N1...pretty cool!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
Yeah! Its here :D

I like the new lense unlock and am currently using it. Could we plz have the ability to customize it? It looks rather plain.

Great job cyanogen and team!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] katbastard:
thanx, i am staying at 37 untill it smooths out more though
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rlswaney73:
Tried this, but didn't help me, cpu stuck @ max
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
I cant seem to figure out how to get ride of the rotary thingy when receiving or placing a call
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Did you wipe before flashing the rc? I'm no longer having cpu issues, nor wifi, nor market. Working seamlessly.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Irisservice:
ok 37 backed up and doing a clean wipe and gapps with rc1...

all seems fine

Wifi is working

market works

how do i check if cpu is maxing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cswroe:
Yes, tried it twice. I think the CPU issue worked out if I use SetCPU with the Smartass kernel. The WiFi is noticeably different. In the same locations, WiFi calling will not enable due to signal strength where I am using it flawlessly on 31.

No biggie, will mess with it later when I have time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rydr1:
@ jace, I failed to navigate with it. I will give it a shot over the weekend.

@ cory, make sure you do a full wipe of everything and start out with a clean SD card. I was having a lot of issues with FCing, i figured out that my problem was caused because I was over writing some of the files on the SD card that the phone uses with the SD card junk i had before the flash.

My wife txt me complaining about dropping out wifi, so I have to look into that.

I am running CM7 on my Nexus one and have not had any issues whatsoever. That was the reason I decided to install the latest CM build on my wifes slide.:rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dogfest15:
Stuck in bootloop and I can't get back into recovery via hboot. Any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] F0rgiven:
I can also attest that the gps is working but it is in fact positioning at a weird angle. Also, for what ever reason, the gps indicator is stuck in the notification bar after I activate it and it didn't used to do that until just recently.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
guuuhh, but on previous cm7's i wasnt having this issue. dont really want to wipe my sd card. but if i do will i lose root since i do not have s-off?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
You won't lose root from wiping your sd card.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
No you won't lose root but make sure you get the update.zip file back as soon as possible. Just incase you need it for recovery :)

Sent from my BluMagic Glacier using the XDA App
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rydr1:
@cory, just make sure you back up some of the important files, pics, music.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gregb7677:
is anyone else having problems sending MMS? I can receive just fine, but sending is not working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ekorshus:
MMS working fine for me, (knock on wood) however, since the launch of that bobsled wifi calling or whatever for FB, I get a lotta FC's.. thinking I might try what was mentioned above w/ the SD card.. I've done numerous wipes/installs w/ this rom & others & have never once formatted my SD card... well aside from when it was new!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xenoletum:
If you're using the recently updated Facebook App, it's broken as hell with 2.3 at the moment. I had to revert to the former 1.5.2 version of the app for it to work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
I'd like to try that myself, if you could point me in the direction of being able to. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ekorshus:
Me too!

Yeah me 3! It freaking force closes when you click on anyones profile :/ how gay!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SlimDan22:
Cyanogen announced via his twitter that HTC has finally released the entire source code for the wifi drivers on the expresso

http://twitter.com/#!/cyanogen/status/61224547843715073

Nightly build #42 seems to have the new drivers integrated

WIFI actually works for me now, no lag, no drop out

I dont know if this will have any effect on the GPS problems, maybe someone can confirm

Update: I had a few problems with the market so far, but it has not affect web browsing or other apps that require internet access, its progress!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] scoob8000:
Just wanted to chime in here..

Last week I noticed this. The GPS works fine for positioning, but navigation is facing the wrong way or something. It actually has you go left when you need to go right and vice versa.

I'm also a user of the gps status app, and the magnetic compass seems fine.

[Edit]

Just saw this in the Nightly 54 changes. Going to give it a shot and see!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MohitPatel:
facebook.

hey!

for yall who are also having facebook

heres the link for 1.5. this works perfectly on cm 7 2.3.

" or has been since this morning. no issues so far"

http://www.4shared.com/file/XFLXRDKt/Facebook_for_Android__151_.htm
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] N1M1TZ:
So if I installed the stable version and want to add this Nightly build 54, I follow the same procedure as installing the Stable mod correct? Place the 54 in root of SD and go into CW and select this build?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] scoob8000:
Yes, or grab ROMManager Premium for five bucks (helps support the devs). With premium you can download, rate and comment on the nightly builds.

Make sure you do a nandroid before ya flash though!

I was thinking of doing the same thing, I can confirm this one works fine in CM7.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SefEXE:
Thank you for the Facebook, I was hoping someone would.

Although, after thinking about it, I guess I could have just searched the internet. However I thought it'd be faster asking here when xenoletum mentioned it.

I guess he hasn't been back since then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyanogen:
7.0.1 is here.. This should fix WiFi and GPS for those still having problems. Enjoy :)
