An RC is nothing more than a Nightly with "RC#" attached instead of a build number.

A Release Candidate for CM is a lot different from other kinds of release candidates. For instance, Firefox 4 RC1 was saying "This is what we are planning to release as official Firefox 4.0. Unless there are major issues, this is final". There were a couple small bugs and Mozilla fixed them, then bumped it to RC2. RC2 and Firefox 4 that you could download on release day were identical.

When CM puts out an RC, it's nothing more than a measure of progress. "We've done a lot of work. We now consider it stable enough to say 'you could use this every day without major issues, but it is not likely that this will be considered a final build'."
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
also, as has been mentioned many times, the nightlies are built by the buildbot, and RCs are built by humans.

What speed settings do you use for the processor? I would change the default ringtone and when I was at 19 748 OnDemand, it would usually ring the default ringtone if the phone was coming from a screen off state. I raised screen off to 176 and haven't had any issues with it using the right ringtone.

Nightly #33

Anyone know what nightly 33 does? It also has an unfamiliar naming convention: tdud_heroc_full-33.zip

It's got a very funky boot screen (cartoon duck spinning around) and also appears to have rendered all google apps inoperable.

Is this an April Fool's joke?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
the name and the boot screen were a joke, but gapps probably not.

Yea yesterday cyanogen supposedly quit android, and it turned into tehduck uber android distro, also while it is still up you should check out the video walkthrough its very informative

Android market will not open as well as car home this was after about 2 hours of use, did a few reboots and still nothing. This is on #34 anyone else experience this? Should I just install gapps again?

Edit I'm a retard background data was off lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halrulez:
I had to reinstall gapps. Then all was well i kept 33 to pull the boot screen when i have time. I love the spinning duck.

What is up with this thread it's all going down hill. I am just so surprised that no one can read what's going or has been going on in the last three pages. No one has to read all postings most of them are repeated over and over again. And for those that can not get this through your heads read and when you think know everything about your phone get on another phones thread and read that one then come back to this one. Don't just put crap out because you are pissed or really confused just go on Oneida the chats and ask. People get lost by seeing the same questions over and over again especially for the ones on the mobile. Thank You for your time and good day.

Has anybody successfully flashed the 1.4 tweak on the #35 nightlies rom? I have tried many ways but never got it to boot up it always gets stuck on the htc screen. I use clockwork recovery 3.0.2.4

what exactly did you do to flash 1.4 properly? ive done everything possible and it always gets stuck at the htc screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bravo1565:
All I did was wipe cache and delvik and then flash tweak 1.4 it was on white screen for about a minute

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
That's because he put an infinite loop in it. No, seriously.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Jason,

Maybe this is the time to use the "format/misc in the 3.0.2.4 recovery so that there's nothing to loop? I'm just kidding, but it would probably stop the looping of that partition (and stop everything else I would guess.

Now I know how you stop rebooting issues- just don't let it boot in the 1st place. Lol!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Seems to be a good rom and I would guess that will be fixed quickly just like gps.

I'm wondering if maybe the official thread would tag it WIP? I would guess the dev would do that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Probably not since it's labeled "Nightly Discussion", and those are not known to be anything besides beta.

Wow, I was using cm6 cause aospgb had a video bug/limitation and I have to say this is super fast!!! Love everything about this Rom. Hopefully video play back gets fixed ;).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Riff76:
2/21 and "this" are two different roms and you should wipe when switching over to the other.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zanywood:
I flashed this over aosp 2/21 worked great except had to install different gapps

Everything seems to work fine I'm still experimenting.

GAPPS for CM7

I don't see the link for downloading GAPPS for the CM7 nightly. I can download the CM7 zip but which GAPPS version are you guys using?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
The ones in aosp's thread
[Hero CDMA Android Development] silberj:
This is why I as a user can't understand how this is in any way better or more aligned for my heroc that what aosp has already put out. I'm just going to stay with what is already working, but thanks for the work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Here is how its different

These are OFFICIAL nightly builds as part of OFFICAL cm7 also with nightly builds we will get newer commits every night hence the term nightly

aosp has done great work but he hasn't made his tree available so cyanogen wants no part of his work nor does aosp want to share
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Kyle, I've always valued your input, so don't take this as anything more than an innocent question, but what particular significance does the connotation "OFFICIAL" confer? Does that mean "stable"? I thought that the very notion of "nightlies" pretty much directly equates to "WIP", i.e. "not yet stable". So what particular advantage does "OFFICIAL" offer to the end user?

Just asking, and kind regards to all involved!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Official means that its part of cyanogenmod its supported on their site and come with a sort of agreement that it will have RC and stable releases instead of just compiled from their source it also means that the code is public,

anybody can go on and patch or fix something for our tree with aosp keeping his tree hidden only himself and a few other people have access.

Sometimes this works out for the better in the case of jaybobs cm6.1 builds since he made custom tweaks after getting it from the source but would probably hurt support for another device so it would never get approved for cm , but by aosp keeping his tree hidden it means that jaybob, darch, and others have to redo things aosp already fixed

Sorry about the rant and im happy for the work that has been done but its just annoying he didn't share his tree
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
Instead of going to look in aosp's thread, there is a link in the first post of this thread, don't know how you missed it.

Nightly #36 Image gallery distortion

I haven't seen this happen since before the final release of CM6.1 but, and haven't seen this at all since flashing CM7, but after flashing the #36 nightly I'm getting that distorted display in the Gallery. Rotating the orientation fixes it.

Just passing this along...is anyone else noticing this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Funny, I have seen that since CM6.1 and all RC releases of CM7. For me it only happens when I enable or disable auto-rotate while the gallery is open.

Build 36 battery issues

Anyone else seem to be having problems with Build 36 killing the battery more quickly than usual? I've been running the CM7 nightlies since they began and haven't really had too many issues, but yesterday my battery went from 60% to 0% in less than an hour. Today it was done from 100% to 60% within about an hour and a half and I had to stick it on the charger. I know it can take awhile to calibrate after wiping dalvik and cache, but I have never seen kind of behavior on the CM7 builds I have flashed.

Not a big deal, I'll just flash 37 when it is released, or go back a build or two, but wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same.

I am running a version of Kifno's tweak, maybe I need to put on the most recent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
If you're running the one labeled [MP], it's going to kill your battery very quickly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jwhistler:
I'm not running any tweaks, but battery life seems to be much less than with CM6.1.

How much less? 75% would be my guess.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trentonite:
Updated to 32 about 3-4 days ago and I'm still having an issue with ringtones. The phone ends up playing only the default ringtone instead of the one assigned to contacts. I checked the profile and nothing is being overridden, not really sure what's causing it. any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
It's a known bug. Happens to me every time I re-flash. It probably had something to do with the way profiles are implemented.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kurigowa:
heres the prob Bob

Using nightly 35 (came from AOSP, tried RC4 too) my phone is running pretty darn well. A couple things though...

Still have GPS reboot after 30 min of usage,

Scrolling menus still occasionally disappear forcing me to reboot

Other than this, I'd say my phone is probably running as well if not better than it ever has. Thanks yall!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Please try disabling the "Allow purging of assets" option under CyanogenMod performance settings, and report back regarding GPS.

What does "add offmode charging for HTC" mean?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
Some newer HTC devices (such as the Aria) display a charge meter if "powered off" and charging. They do this by booting into recovery when plugged in, with a special conmandline parameter if I recall correctly. Up to now, ClockworkMod recovery didn't support this mode; instead of showing the charge meter, recovery would start up in an unreliable state. This patch begins the process of supporting charge mode.

For those of you who use both ADW's swype to hide feature and the "bar on bottom" feature and find it frustrating, this should soothe your nerves (nightly 39)

Issue 3418: Show statusbar on ADW swype and fix velocity (android_frameworks_base)

Main post updated, trimmed, and message about CM7 Final added.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trentonite:
Not sure why it is, but 39 has almost twice the battery life than stable does. No complaints from me though lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
It was my opinion that stable battery life wasn't that good either, but I've stuck with it as I couldn't see anything between 38 and stable that would change it. Same as between stable and 39, nothing that would do it, but now I think I'll definitely jump in on 40 when it comes out.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wingman1659:
I noticed the same, but I can say with stable that after maybe 5 full drains the life seems to be where I would expect it to be.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] painter_:
I also got the same error. But to my surprise the core part of the rom flashed, it looks like it failed on updating /boot.

My phone booted without problems and under settings > about phone > mod version it shows 04162011.

I think I am going to run it like this until the next nightly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I was thinking that it had something to do with firerats (I run it) but would like a confirmation. May try flashing it again if it works regardless of the error.

edit: I went ahead and flashed it and fr-boot and it seems to work just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
looking at the changelog as usual,

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=heroc

it looks like absolutely nothing has changed for our device since CM7 Final, so I can't see how 39 or 40 could cause any problems..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
If thats the case then I shouldn't bs able to boot the final. hmmm but I can
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
You don't think that changes to the framework affect our devices?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Do you see any particular changes that could affect us? The only one I see is the fix velocity for notification stutter when notification bar is on top and on the bottom (I flashed 39 for that fix). Other than that most are actually specific to other devices or language/translation issues.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
I see no device specific changes.

But changes are changes and it's misleading of you to say that there are no changes that affect our devices as the framework changes (or changes to other parts) affect every device.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is even the framework changes in 39 and 40 don't do anything for the Hero if you already have CM7 final. This is what I see:

-reverted 2 fixes for Droid1

-an MMS color/theme change (this can affect some of us who use the black messaging background theme?)

-APN fixes that don't affect us

-database version matching (for those upgrading from CM6)

-bidirectional text and other language changes (nothing functional)

-things for "Zeppelin, as well as other Motorola phones (Motus, Morrison, etc)" data connection

-something for the Vega Tablet

-offmode charging fix (only affects new HTC devices)

-added maintainer for the Harmony

-the notification velocity and ADW swipe fixes (I did mention this as the only real change that includes us)

So from my point of view, it is misleading to say that nightlies contain changes in framework that affect all devices but when if you look at the details, they really don't.

how does this rom compare to AOSP? I want less bugs, faster and more battery efficient...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rundmcarlson:
Why don't you read a few pages of each rom's thread and see for yourself? Its no one's job to do research for you and tell you what to do. If you want to try it, try it. Everyone gets different results on every rom so no one could tell you anyway.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bruce777:
Always fresh nightlies

Well, I thought I wouldn't have to flash anymore nightlies after the "final build" until I realized that my "down swipe" would hesitate and no longer open up my notification bar. Something VERY minor in the grand scheme of things; but I had to nandroid back because I realized that I relied on that particular feature A LOT. So...I flashed #39 nightly and BAM! it was fixed :^) Things are always improving and changing overall on the nightlies page.

Well the nightlies are just bots building whatever is in the repo, so nightlies will likely continue till the bots are either turned off or the repo becomes too far changed to successfully build

Thank you! I never would have thought of something that deep! You're so awesome!

Now on to intelligent conversation... Kyle thanks for the info. I didn't know that's how it works. So is the entire process automated? It just builds what's in the repo and the devs just kinda let it build? That's pretty cool if I'm understanding it right. Can anyone add to the repo? If not who has to approve the changes? Who decides when it's classified as RC or 1.0?

Facebook Force Close

I have been having Facebook force closing on me. The app opens but if I try to check my messages, or profile it automatically force closes. I have tried uninstalling it and installing it again, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, fixed permisssions like 10x, updated my ROM to nightly #42, and it is still doing the same thing. I believe it started happening on nightly #41. I am just running the ROM, with no other hacks. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dpeeps74:
That's because they broke it with the last update. Check the comments on market. I just uninstalled it and switched to Flow. The dev for it is actually responsive. It does most everything the official app does too except chat and if you just have to have that, go chat works fine. Facebook development for Android just blows. They are slow to update or enhance the app.
