Hmm, that's good news. Guess I just have to wait for launcher pro to be fixed then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Is this a launcher issue or a CM issue? I'm using ADW EX and I don't normally have a short cut set up to open the notification bar. I have just added a short cut to my screen and mapped my home key to open notifications and neither work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eFFeRaTuM:
hi. i can't understand why when i use this rom, i'm not be able to manage sim contacts.

for working reasons i need to keep synchronized my sim contacts with google ones.

the same thing happens when i flash cm6 or any other aosp based rom.

this doesn't happen if i use a sense rom instead.

can somebody help me to understand?

sorry for my english and sorry if this is an already asked question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] derykisonder:
Its not a launcher issue. Its more of a BW issue. That's why I'm using fancy widget pro right now for the time being
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
There are 2 issues being discussed here. I was referring to the notification issue, if you read a couple of posts up you will see that the BW is solved by simply updating to the newest version from the marke.t
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
the answer is "sort of". I don't think any of the devs have the problem which means there might be subtle hardware differences out there. there is a fix on page 7 on the thread I've been using on all the RCs with great results. I'm about to try this one to see what happens. -> LINK
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tackleberry:
I noticed that the notification bar does not pull down on adwex when I press the home button (my home button is set to go to preset screen then pull down notif bar and close it). But if the notif bar is on the bottom, it does work. Kinda weird. I can deal with that as I forget to hit home to pull it down anyways.

Also if anyone is interested, I found the forbidden girly wallpaper apk from nightly 6 on my sd card :) lol

A Stable CM7 posted this jibberish
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] droidoz:
GPS and Bluetooth ok for me.

Wipe data not necessary, unless a major upgrade. Only wipe cache and dalvick.

Always do nandroid backup in case you have problem.

Yes, you can install over RC4.

All those informations and more can be found by searching in forums.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
This seems to be an issue with all launchers when you have any shortcut setup to drop the notification bar down

Haven't noticed a change in beautiful widget. Still working here... as are the launcherpro features.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
Just moved to 7 from 6.1.1.

So themes are now a app in the app drawer, and there is no more option in CM settings for a light or dark theme, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Not all of the settings that were present are in CM6 are available yet, they should come with time there has been a feature freeze for the last month or so, so they could focus on bug fixes so the stable release would be as perfect as possible.

I'm assuming that some of the options from 6.1.1 will start to reappear in nightly releases soon.

The new theme chooser is awesome if you search for cm7 in the market you will find loads of themes to download and have a look in the General android themes section for them as well.

It makes customizing the look of your phone so much easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Longsh0t:
Will a wipe be required if upgrading from RC4?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
No, I all ways wipe cache and dalvik cache but it is not strictly necessary.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RobBull69:
Not required, but, in my experience it's not a bad idea to format /system, /data and /cache. You will generally use the stable builds far longer than the release candidates and wiping and formatting the partitions gets rid of any potential "ghosts". If you have the paid version of Titanium, it's pretty painless and worth it to spend the extra half hour. The time you spend fixing potential bugs that creep in from previous builds will exceed the extra time to do a full wipe and restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
This is sound advice and is exactly my philosophy too.

A note about full wipes: I was having problems once (a couple months back) with the notification power widget (I was unable to remove 2 widgets) so I decided to do a full wipe. I boot into recovery, format /system /data/ & /cache. Reinstalled CM and had the EXACT same problem on initial boot, the same two widgets were 'stuck'. I rebooted back into recovery, format /system /data & /cache twice this time, reinstalled CM and the problem was resolved!

So, long story short, there is something up with the recovery's format scripts as there are situations where formatting the partitions more than once is necessary even though it does seem to defy logic. People have talked about it before and I know temasek's wipe script (for the N1) does several passes for this very reason.

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but what does it mean when the signal bar goes from white to green?

Edit: nvm, found it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
When it is green, you have a connection with Google's servers (for syncing account information)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martx:
Green = connected to google servers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theSpam:
That's a Gingerbread feature. Green means you're connected to Google's services.

Hey guys, is there a reason that cm7.0.0 stable disappeared from my rom manager to download? Or am I having issues with rom manager?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Its still there; clear download cache and make sure you're on wifi
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Having the same issue with the notification pull down also. Anyone found the fix for it yet?

You're right, cleared cache, and connected to wifi and there it was. Thanks for the help! It is much appreciated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
it's a reported bug with no fix as of yet. hopefully the devs will get to it eventually
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geckobear:
Is anyone else having problems with mobile data working since flashing the final version? I've already paid my bill so that's not the issue :-). I have tried re-flashing several times, including doing a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) but nothing seems to work. It says I am connected to the network but it won't connect to google's servers and none of the apps can connect. Have a T-mobile G2 using the 26.03.02.26_M radio and using the CM kernel. I'm in Chicago btw if anyone else has this problem. Sorry if this has been answered, could not find it while searching. Never had this problem with the nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I think it may be a Google issue. I noticed a few days ago with RC4 that I'd get disconnected from Google services (signal bars go white) and reconnect after a minute or two. I have done nothing different to my phone. My wife's G2 has been experiencing the same thing with the same ROM and occurs at the same time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geckobear:
EDIT #3 (and Final): Data worked at first after my restore but quickly broke again. I'm guessing there's something going on with the servers over here. If anyone knows of a fix please let me know.

**************************************************

EDIT #2: Data's broken again. There goes my T-mobile conspiracy theory. Gonna restore back to nightly #36 and see what happens

********************************************************

EDIT: Data's working again now as of around 5 pm CT. Didn't do anything, just came on again. I'm wondering if T-mobile's throttling data during the day? I don't think i'm even close to the 5 GB cap though.

****************************************************

Thanks for your help. I did notice the random disconnect issues with Google the other day but it would usually reconnect without a problem. I'm not sure if it's just Google to blame since no data is working at all (can't use xda app, browser, dolphin, etc). Sometimes I can get it to connect to Talk or Gmail but that's about it. I ran speed test and I'm getting 0 MBPS up and down, while my phone status says I'm connected to HSDPA
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
status bars changing color do not mean you are connected to google servers. it means background data is enabled/in use.

proof:

turn it off. sync contacts, you are connected to google servers but your status bars stay white.

uninstall gapps, turn it on, stasus icons color again despite no google related content.

I'm coming from Cyanogen 6.1.1 and I want to do a complete wipe and go to Cyanogen 7 stable via recovery mode.

Can an experienced user make sure I have these steps right or suggest anything further? (e.g. - pulling battery at some point before rebooting into CM7?)

1. Download and put the CM7 and latest Google Apps .zip files on the root of my SD card.

2. Update ROM Manager app and flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery (current recovery is 2.5.1.3 on my phone, latest is 3.0.2.4).

3. Boot into Recovery mode and perform a Nandroid backup.

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset (not sure if I need to reboot after the backup?)

5. Wipe Cache Partition.

6. Advanced -> Wipe Davlik cache.

7. Install CyanogenMod-7 .zip file from SD card.

8. Install Google Apps .zip file from SD card.

9. Reboot.

10. Win?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
Network status icons turn green if you have a Google Account added to your phone

and the phone is connected to Google services, for syncing your Gmail, Calendar

events, contacts, for backing up your settings, and so on. If you don’t have a Google

Account or if, for example, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network that is not connected

to the Internet, the network icons are white.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geckobear:
I would just add:

7.1. Mount system and data (before flashing google apps)

8.1 Advanced -> Fix Permissions (after flashing google apps)

Be careful with #3 - if your recovery is orange (and not green) you are good to go.

You don't need to reboot after performing the nandroid backup. I would recommend backing up your apps with Titanium Backup if you are going to wipe data.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jquantum:
Thank you for the suggestions!

What do you mean by orange and not green? What does that signify exactly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stealthx32:
The text color.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
You should also format system when you wipe data/factory reset as per the Cyanogenmod website. You can find that option in the mounts and storage section of recovery.

You can just download what he uploaded, extract it. Put libhtc_ril.so on the root of your sdcard and use terminal emulator and run these commands

su

mount -o remount rw /system

cp /sdcard/libhtc_ril.so /system/lib

chmod 644 /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

reboot

boot loop

love the new ROM, looks and feels great!

however, when I try opening GMail after installing CM7 RC1 from 6.1.1 (no wipe) it just flashes and never opens, and market doesn't appear in my apps list.. reflashed gapps and it started boot looping.. cleared data, cache, and dalvik, reflashed cm7 rc1 and still boot looping. starts all the way up to where you click on the android for setup but before i can click on it, it restarts. restored back to cm 6.1.1 and everything is fine. any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Yeah you are coming from a 2.2 rom to a 2.3 rom, do a full wipe w/ data too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ender666666:
So far, I haven't had any trouble coming from 6.1.1 to 7.0.0 RC1 without wiping. Made a backup in Clockwork and Titanium before hand just to be safe, but all seems fine here. My Gmail definatly works, as does my Market
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ranyvern:
yeah, like i said, I wiped everything and THEN it started boot looping. it seems though if I don't install the GAPPS addon, it does not boot loop. i'm going to re-download that zip and see if that could be the issue

I flashed CM7 today, very speedy and looks like really stable rom!

I have noticed one problem though: I flashed radio 26.08.04.16_M because I had problem with gps. Now gps works, but from time to time, when the screen is off and I want to use my phone I notice that network signal is lost, and as soon as phone gets unlocked my signal is back again. Is this because of the radio?

Thanks in advance!

I successfully updated from CM 6.1.1 to CM 7.0!

One issue though, I chose to install Google Apps ("gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip") from the SDCard in recovery, and when I boot into CM7, I don't see Gmail, Google Maps, etc. under my apps drawer.

I tried installing the zip again after a reboot into recovery, but they still don't show up.

Do I need to Fix Permissions again?

Here are the steps I took from 6.1.1 to 7.0:

So what is the final answer on the icons turning from green to grey? I quit useing CM7 because of how often I would loose sync (icons grey). I liked useing this rom but if I couldn't depend on it syncing properly I couldn't use it. I would loose sync a lot some times wakeing phone to find them grey and wouldn't get green back for a couple of minutes. And not knowing how long they were out.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chinam4n:
I believe you wipe everything, and then just flash CM6.1.1 without flashing a different clockwork.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chinam4n:
If you can't flash via in recovery, and it's saying something about the signatures, then you'll have to flash to a 2.X.X.X clockwork in Rom Manager, just make a Nadroid when you do decide to go back to CM6.1.1.

If you just restore the app data you should be good its all the system data that may cause the problem. The apps you had will all download themselves so after a fresh install let the phone sit for a good while before you get all crazy and start restoring things.
