Ugh... Nightly #5 killed my GPS. This is the first time CM7 kills something and I'm part of the CM7 nightly testers since Build uuhm... 3 or something mid January, long before RC1. Anyway, had to go back to #4 to get GPS back again. Btw, pershoot's kernel doesnt offer interactive governor.

I have a general question though: CM7 is how shall I put it, quite "americanized" it seems to me. I don't know if Android (last Android I saw was 1.6 on a Sapphire) generally is coming that way or if its just CM, but it somehow seems not internationalized enough. Let me explain:

Contacts messes up all my addresses

Contacts previously fine, and I mean fine as in Street No, ZIP Town (Somestreet 12, 9255 Anytown), get messed up (Somestreet 12, Switzerland, Anytown 9255) on the device (how so??). Then syncs to Google and finally causes massive duplicates when syncing with Outlook. Once the dupes were (manually) cleaned out I find that all the addresses inside a contacts details are duplicated: one contact, two addresses, once correct as before and a duplicate with the screwed up US formatting (screwed up as in not even correct by US standards...). How can that be?

Programs identify as US versions

For example Maps, is all US centric, of course as it identifies as gmm-android-tmobile-us. No way to switch it over to some European flavor? I'm not in the US and I'm far from any T-Mobile network...

Calendar settings all wrong

Monday is the first day in a week. For us, Germans, Austrians, Frenchies, for like all Europeans I can think of. On CM7 Calendar defaults to Sunday or so.

Hardwarekeyboard layouts

Well, when I type, the output on screen doesnt match the input of the keys, but obviously that has been addressed and should be fixed anytime soon in one of the nightlies... Btw: the modified layouts available (and the ones being submitted I reckon) only do lowercase umlaute, as in öäü, no uppercase as in ÄÖÜ...

Voice recognition/voice dialer English only

"Eva anrufen" just doesnt equal "dial 55 2875?"... While "Call Eva" doesn't work either. "Dial 12345" does on the other hand...

There was more...

...which of course I forgot about. I will stumble upon it again sooner or later, I'll post it here.

You guys still with me? Anyone got what I meant to say...?

messaging time / date stamp problem

came from 6.1.1. did a wipe & installed 7 rc1.

my time/date stamp is all screwy now. i *am* using handcent however the 'screwiness' appears in the stock messaging prog itself.

anyone else have/had this prob and know a fix?

any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
is there any other kernals that work with this rom? I am wanting to try a new one to see if it fixes the delay when I unlock the phone sometimes and also when a program takes a few seconds to close out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
What kernel are you using now?

What overclock settings (if any) are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJ ELITE:
i guess i'm not the only one:

I'm using the kernal that came with the rom. And I'm clocked at 1.1 and min 786 or whatever. No profiles. Not using setcpu anymore
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
With the default kernel (pershoots doesnt support it) try INTERACTIVE as governor.

So you control your CPU using CyanogenMods inbuilt control panel utility? Try the INTERACTIVE governor as suggested above for a couple hours, maybe it helps. Don't forget to reboot...

Anyone else have the flash video problem with the green bar on the top, and the rest of the video colors is a bit off? happening on #4 & #5.. should I re-install flash? kernel problem? or rom problem?

Anyone else having infuriating market problems? Its taking multiple tries to update and install applications for me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
since when?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Also.. most of my apps are missing in My Downloads section of the Market app.. Any fix? been like this since after RC1 to nightly #3,4, & 5.. also, SetCPU widget still doesn't [instant] refresh.

EDIT: To fix missing apps in Market Download section... Wipe Market data via Titanium Backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stshannon:
Ive noticed (since maybe the NEW nightlys #2?) that ive also had some "glitchy" marketplace behavior. Mostly, some apps will "fail to download" and ill get a popup, "insufficient space", however i have TONS of space, both in system and on SD. I retry updating the app, and it works.

Not a big deal, but i can confirm weird behavior in marketplace as well with updating apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I'm currently attempting to install something and I've tried 10+ times and its annoying the hell out of me. It just downloads, then nothing happens.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Clear data in Market app with Titanium.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Thx! It worked.. I did the wipe data in settings>applications, but it didn't work.. but wiping everything relating to market using TB actually wiped it.. wonder what's the difference? But thx again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
You cant wipe Market data in settings anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Do u know the reason? and since when?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
KEYBOARD LAYOUT:

I can confirm that indeed the recent fix for the German keyboard layout solves the problem only half-way. I hadn't thought to check capitalisation or else I would have noticed much sooner. It is weird though as I could swear that with CM6.1 the same layout file DID enable capitalised umlauts like ÄÖÜ. This needs some additional work!!

CALENDAR:

It's true that the calendar defaults to Sunday as the start of the week but it can be switched to Monday in the settings. I'm not sure however if this is a Google thing or a CM thing. National and religious idiosyncracies aside, ISO 8601 clearly states that Monday is the first day of the week - seen from that perspective, the calendar should default to that. But honestly, that's not a biggie. Also, I'm not sure to what dynamic default settings could be tied to. I don't think there's anything in the system settings that would allow for a reasonably safe determination.

CONTACTS:

The only scenario that has produced messed up US-style addresses for me is when I enter a new address on the phone using the dedicated fields for zip code, city, street, etc. which aren't available in the web-based contacts manager. Then and only then addresses will show up malformed on the web - malformed that is from our European perspective. Here again, I don't know how this could be resolved unless there were an additional field specifying the country in which the address is located, then using that field to look up the corresponding style of address representation. But again, that's not a real biggie - at least not from my perspective.

Just tried to use my gps and after 10 minutes no lock. I'm sad

Yeah I tried that with no luck. I should add that its when I hit the home button to exit out it takes a few seconds

Nightly #6 broke the market for me. Already tried a reboot

Edit: Gmail is broken too, but other google apps are fine

Edit #2: its because i got lazy and flash through rom manager... just had to reflash gapps

Loving this ROM so far... but in RC1 I'm having trouble with wifi tethering. Client connects without a problem to my Desire Z but cannot access the web. In stock ROM it works flawlessly. Any fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
+1 on this. I had to do a road trip yesterday and really needed gps and it didn't work. It worked a couple of builds ago, not sure what keeps happening
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Everything works here apart from Video playback. Doesn't bother me to much, Ill find a 3rd party video player for know :)

I'm running a UK DesireZ btw :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BBOOZE:
Great rom...very impressed with speed!

Sorry for the noob/dumb question but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to disable those stupid clouds that go across the screen with I unlock my phone. I've looked in all the settings and disabled any animations to no avail. I have ADW and Widgetlocker installed as well as this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I think my phone did that, but it just took awhile for the pc to get internet access.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stshannon:
You have beautiful widgets installed, and another add-on, weather widget forecast (or something like that). I cant remember its been a while, but i had that as well. There is a setting either in weather widget forecast, or beautiful widgets home that you can disable something like "Wake animation" or something like that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Just noticed my WiFi Hotspot isn't working either, Not to fussed as I never use it but just reporting the problem as well :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
I finally took the time to set up Ubuntu in a virtual machine, familiarised myself with Git and added the missing capital German umlauts ÄÖÜ in vision-keypad-ger.kcm.bin. The fix is uploaded and should be merged soon:

text messages

is anyone else have a delay with the text messages.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
^^ No.. but I do use Handcent SMS.. I do still have the SetCPU widget issue where it doesn't instant refresh the MHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stshannon:
Out of curiosity, why are the notification icons (signal strength, battery, wifi icon, edge/3g/H/ icon etc) usually green, but sometimes gray? whats the difference?

I haven't been able to correlate the color change to anything in particular yet, and am curious as hell.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I'm noticing this as well on #6
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Wow you're flashing nightlies and havent read the reason behind this yet? I just assumed everyone knew this by now.

Sorry not trying to be rude. When they're Green, it means that you're connected and synced to google servers and your Google account is all hooked up.

When they're grey, it means that you're not synced/connected to Google fully. This can happen when you switch networks (i.e. from WiFi to 3G and vice versa) or when you power on the device (usually for the first 30sec or so while it syncs) or when you're in a situation with low or no internet connection signal.

This is just a feature of Gingerbread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stshannon:
Thank you for the explanation. And no i didn't take it as being rude. Appreciate the info.

And yeah, well,I'im lazy. =) I haven't read the changelog on the nightly's. =)

Any one having trouble with service? I am, and I am blaming the rom because my sister galaxy s t mobile works just fine, my friends g2 also, so that leaves the rom... anyone else having trouble?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] juanshop:
Annddd now I'm 100% sure is the room because I just flashed my stock room back up and service is fast, and working again... sadly this problems with my networks started with the nightlies and all the answers I always had was blaming. Tmobile, but by this, flashing stock and my network problems magically dissapeared... I think is the room.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
np. Glad I could help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Utorrent76:
Please help!

I was really looking forward to this release so as soon as i read that it was available of course I downloaded it. I did a wipe & dalvik cache wipe & proceeded to install via recovery. After it installed I rebooted my G2 it got to the setup screen and when I clicked on the little android to get started it keeps looping the splash image & back to setup. I tried to wipe again,rebooted and again it starts to loop.Please help.Thx.(CM 7 RC 1)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] txcyko:
coming from the last nightly cm7 build...what are the steps to installing rc1....wipe dalvic and cache, then flash the rc1, and than google apps? sorry if for the nooby question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ldf913:
tq

thanks man
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] txcyko:
i would try to dload the .zip again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Yes, just no gapps. You should be fine with cache and dalvik wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
I didn't wipe and everything is fine so far. Probably should have but it's past my bed time and I don't have time to set everything back up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Well for some reason no mater how manytimes I wipe and reflash I get no gps... Checked gps status and nothing.. But if I turn the gps off the app can see that and tell me to turn it on, but then nothing. Tge gps symbol never even shows on the status bar. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
I was on Nightly build #38 prior to the RC1 and I too only wiped Cache and dalvik, then flashed only RC1.zip without flashing the gapps.zip and all works perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
Maybe it's possible that the gps in your phone is just broken. That would suck. Maybe a hard reset.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] txcyko:
thank you sir!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Thanks for the release candidate. I don't know what you guys did since the last nightly but my phone is much more responsive and snappier. My benchmarks have also improved showing this, went from at most 2500's in quandrant to now 2800's.

Hey i downloaded the new rom and the wifi will not stay on. I turn it on and then it shuts off after a few seconds. Any help please??? I may have to go back to 6 if this isnt fixed

GPS does work

my g2 is CHIP S-OFF, does it matter?

Followed the nightly build from Jan till now, GPS does not work in 37, 38 and RC1.

Flashed cyanogenmod 7.0 rc1, wipe data, cache, dovik, system before flashing, flash gapp, when start Maps, the icon of GPS does not appears, can not locate position.

Any idea?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slashjiang:
Reboot your g2 might solve this problem.:p

Maybe its just me, but pressing the optical pad doesnt wake the screen?? I have the "Trackball wake" selected in the settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enserio:
Yeah, you have to go download and flash manually from the CM Forums.

Edit: I responded to this comment when the thread was 3 pages, now it's 6. I'm sure someone answered it for him. Anywho, trackball wake and GPS are fine for me.

After flashing this on top of CM7 Nightly, my market stopped working. The download is working but it doesn't install. If I tap the download notification it showed a random app instead of the one currently downloading.

I try clearing the data on Download manager and clear cache in Market, but it still doesn't work.

Anyone can help me here?

So, I just flashed this after coming from CM 6.1.1. I can't seem to add my Yahoo accounts to my email app. I wiped data, cache, dalvik. Rebooted a few times and I still can't get it working. It was working earlier, any suggestions?

what's the difference between this rom & the gingervillain rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Gingervillain is a regular rom. This one cooks dinner.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] daboma:
Gingervillian is based on an earlier build of this rom and includes some of the appearances of sense (from what I can tell, the status bar, settings, etc). Cyanogenmod aims to stick with a stock look and feel, but make all sorts of behind the scenes improvements. All the latest fixes are implemented in CM7-RC1, except for what they've come out with in the last 8 nightly (highly experimental) builds. Gingervillian also appears to have not been updated this whole month.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaykruer:

Settings, applications, development, Stay awake (uncheck this)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Reflash CM7 only without wiping anything and that will give you the default kernel without erasing any of your apps or settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
Didnt work for me at all :s still have no signal for a few seconds when i turn off my display :(

Also my GPS is not working so i'm back to 6.1.1 :s
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
^^ Flash a nightly over it. A user suggested that fix for me and it worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] diogoperas:
Thanks :)

yeah my gps wasn't working too. So back to 6.1.1.

I searched the thread and the suggestion was to use the built in WiFi Tether, but I like the App that allows me to change settings (WiFi Tether http://android-wireless-tether.googlecode.com).

Is there any way to get that to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goorpy:
Didn't find anything in the thread when searching for "battery widget" but I'm having trouble.

I've read that the battery percentage was removed due to the smaller space in the vertical icon, and have seen the themes with alternate icons.

However, the two battery widgets ("Battery Widget" and "BatteryLife") I've tried to install do not appear in the list of widgets when I try to add to my homescreen. The market/phone understand that they are installed, but they are not available to actually use.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sh0rty007:
And after that, flash the RC1 again?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
They added the battery percentage feature back in...download CM7 Nightly #8 from http:/slashmirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vision(replace slash with /)

Then go to Menu/settings/cyanogen-mod settings/interface/status bar tweaks/battery percentage

Found a small problem with g-mail, Not sure of it is this ROM or g-mail itself so thought I would ask here to see if anyone else if having this problem.

I cant seam to send E-mails, I press send nothing. No force close, no error just nothing. Stays on the same screen & just sits there.

Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.youngberg:
I am now having an issue with my mobile data connection and speeds. When I am trying to load a webpage my connection switches back on forth from umts to hsdpa. Either I get no data movement or very slow data at this point. I know it isn't location related because it happens in two different cities, Austin and Kansas City. On the stock ROM I had no problem in either city. My wireless connection works flawlessly however.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.youngberg:
Also, to those of you having trouble with tethering, like me, I noticed that it only works while the G2s screen is on. As soon as the screen turns off all data stops. Is there a workaround for this?

I was running the latest RC1 #8 nightly and my GPS didn't work and my phone calls kept getting dropped.

I have tried Clearing data & Cache, Rebooting & I even switched to Pershoots Gingerbread Kernel and it is still happening. I had to go back to 6.1.1 for the time being.

Any one have any ideas?

anyone else getting random fc for process.android.media? I don't know why I'm getting this but it comes up randomly and usually when I open the market..hasn't happened with virtuous, only with cm7..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
YES! This happened to me a few days ago and then the same thing today and I thought it was just me. It's driving me nuts because there's also no way to cancel the sending so it just sticks there until I go into gmail from my laptop. Perhaps it's something network related? I'm in NYC...

[EDIT] By the way, the only fix I've found is to uninstall gmail (I use Titanium), and then reinstall from the Market. All's good now (though who knows if it's just coincidence with some other change).
