[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noriyori:
Hi all. I'm looking and trying but I can't find the setting to make all the buttons hidden during a call and just show a tab to drag up to show the dialer. I've set it before but it gets reset everytime I update cm7. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noriyori:
Ok, still no solution, so maybe this will help....

currently my in call screen looks like this:

It used to look like this:

Somewhere through updating the cyanogen 7 nightlies I lost the option for "Force Touch UI" so that option is of no help.

any help would be great as I keep hitting buttons with my face because the proximity sensor on the phone is crap :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
The heroc does not have a proximity sensor.

As to the other question, I have not been able to find the option to hide the buttons. The only thing I can think to do would be to set the screen to turn off sooner.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Biggz:
There was an app or mod a while back that used the light sensor to turn the screen off or make the buttons go away. I cant remember what it was called but should work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoMatt:
The second screen shot looks like an alternative dialer app. Might be worth it to try a non-stock dialer app to see if it does what you want.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LewsTherin006:
i tried the search and google but find nothing on this. Im not new to rooting, i rooted my OG droid, but now im trying to root my Mt4g and having trouble. I have the .86 boot loader and im trying to do the gfree method of rooting. Only problem is when i go to transfer my gfree files to data/local, i cant find data local. Im using astro file manager and i hit the up button to get as far as i can go. Once i do that i select the data folder, and it just says empty directory. so i can find /data, but not /data local. Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clone132:
Astro file manager will not show the /data/local folder. If you don't have root you have to push gfree using adb.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoilios:
i'm on a 4g slide with this same problem, i need to move a file to the /data/local, and my file managers cannot find 'local', and do not let me create one.

i am already rooted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
you need to use a root explorer.

or use the line command

adb push <file_name> /data/local
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Archangel:
Another thing you could do is download visionary, temp root, use a root required file manager to move the file to data/local. Then un temp your phone an run gfree

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riceje7:
seeing as i cant post to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996073) yet i'll ask here...so im in the process of flashing the new blackhole resurrection rom and im stuck at the loading screen that says 'android' i've been on it for about 15-20 minutes and the little lady hasn't spoken to me since i got to this screen... also the phone keeps vibrating randomly...did i do something wrong or is this just part of the process? if i have to restore via cwm and try again that's fine i did a full backup yesterday, i just want to know if it's broken or just taking forever
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riceje7:
still not working

just did a restore and it is still stuck at the boot animation and keeps vibrating randomly... am i going to have to do a full odin restore?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
If you are getting 3 vibrations after 1, then something is forceclosing. It would be best to do a odin restore.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riceje7:
yeah that's what was happening...i did an odin restore from this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977493...then i did a restore from a backup i had everything is working now except for boot animations custom or otherwise... i thought EB01 supported custom boot anis
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riceje7:
so i flashed the voodoo version of EB01 and my custom boot anis work now :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadent:
i have the same issue with Blackhole. during boot animation constantly haptics. once booted up force closes everything.

i'm using cmm 2.5 w/ voodoo disabled to flash it like the Blackhole 4.3 post recommended. but no luck. anyone know how to get Blackhole on correctly? thanks

U know when lock screen the taskbar on top doesnt remove.How can i hide it and how ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i dont think its possible, since i have had my SGS i had ran about 30 different ROMs and the notification bar is always there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pet1981:
It's possible. In Launcher pro there's a setting for it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmsnx:
Don't think launcher pro affects the lock screen though.

I know you can hide it if you're using widgetlocker.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
First time I've had issues with it. It will let me get to the point where I select try or buy but then when I go to verify it just continuously loads. I tried afterwards on the PC and it just says none of the above items are available for purchase. This was initially found on the moron test but I am having the same issue occur with all apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I had that happen about a week ago on the weekend. Come Monday, the market started working again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
quite lame... I can't even update my apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Neither could I. And some of the apps were paid apps that needed updating. It was quite annoying. But I was glad to see it working again come that Monday, without the need to do a hard reset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dyskmaster:
yup, having that issue here too, i think it's tied to either your account, or your location... not quite sure why tho...
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
I have had issue with market place a couple of times. Mostly the update won't succeed and I'll need to delete the app then install it again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
Having the same problem here to. Can't update or download apps (sweden).
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsacipher:
I'm having the same problem on the phone and trying to install from the Zune PC marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stebet:
Me too :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] xuegaoche:
yes, same in Dalian China from 19th Mar.

I tried to install apps from Zune on my PC but got error "None of the selected items is available for purchase". Anyway it worked well before. And then I tried to install using marketplace on my Focus but got another error "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."

Some Chinese uses got same error, but some can still download/install apps from marketplace. So it's very strange issue. Is it related to my live id?

Anyone can help on this? I only found US ZUNE support number but I cannot dial.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Just wait a day. Monday will bring it back to normal. It effects users at different times. MS might be doing some kind of tuning to the market to help refine it. At least that's what I rationalize it to be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rsacipher:
It's working this morning, I was able to download a few free apps and buy some songs without any issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Eshonline:
I still have the Problem, and also never got that pre-nodo update... Truly sucks...

Is there an icon pack that features the MIUI icons which can be used with RoyalGinger?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
Unzip the miui rom and get the icons out. Place them on your sdcard. Pick either. LPP OR ADW to change the icons. If you want to run the stock launcher in Royalginger, download desktop Visualizer. You can chagne the icons that way also.

Hi,

I have noticed that the date picker does not show name of weekday or name of the month.

The date is represented like this:

Not very legible.

If I change to English everything is fine. Switching back to norwegian and it goes bad again.

Can anyone check if this is the same in every phone?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmw_4814:
Is there any way to change the notification sound for text messages to a .wma file I copied to my SD card? When I go into the settings to change the text message notification sound, the sound I want to use doesn't show up amongst the possible choices. However, if I go into the menu to change my ringer sound, the five .wma files I placed in a folder I created (named "Ringtones") on my SD card DO show up. How can I make them appear amongst the text message alert choices? Is there any possible way to do this?

Thanks,

Dennis
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmw_4814:
Nevermind - I figured it out! I just placed the file in the "Media" folder (I think that's what it was). Now, it shows up in my alert sounds list.

[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
I am not a member of the CM team, I am just a CM user trying to help the community.

Official CM7 Wiki can be found here.

Fixes:

Missing Market/Google Apps (or market force closing):

You either forgot to download and flash Gapps, or got the wrong one, or RomManager/Clockwork didn't flash it right. If you used are on nightly 11 or newer or RC2 or newer you will need the latest gapps. They were updated 03/07 (20110307).

Download the CM7/Gingerbread Gapps Universal here and flash in recovery

While in recovery remember to wipe cache/dalvic and Fix Permissions (after flashing while still in AmonRA recovery go to "Other > Fix apk uid mismatches").

GPS:

Firstly, Cyanogen himself knows this is a problem

There is a "temporary fix" that seems to work for most people. It does not work 100% of the time nor does it work on 100% of phones. (Sorry I couldn't find the original poster of this for credit, if someone knows who discovered this I will give credit where it is due).

Wifi Sleeping

This is yet another tricky issue. For some the "fix" works but others say it does nothing and makes the problem worse. Some say that the problem is the router or security type (WEP theoretically is to blame).

Go to: Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>Never

Facebook Contacts do not sync:

There are two fixes for this:

By phone:Open Facebook app settings> Sync Contacts: pick either sync existing if you only want to match up current contacts or pick sync all if you want to add Facebook friends to your contacts list.

Now open your Contacts app and select a contact to "fix": then hit Menu>Edit Contact>Menu>Join

You will have to do this will all bad contacts.

By computer: Start on your phone and go to Facebook settings and sync contacts as before. Then go to your homescreen>Menu>settings>Accounts and sync and manually sync BOTH Google and Facebook contacts.

Then go to your Gmail on your computer (You can probably do this through your phone's browser but I have not tested it).

Click: Contacts then "More actions \/" then "Find and merge duplicates..." Be sure to double check them!

After that be sure to go back to your phone and manually sync. It may alert you saying that a LOT of contacts have been deleted, just accept that.

Wimax Disconnect Bug:

Problem with wimax/4G disconnecting? Open "Terminal Emulator" and type:

su <press enter>
killall dhcpcd <press enter>

Swype double tap to change word not working:

This is an issue with the text selection built in to Gingerbread itself. There are two fixes that are essentially the same. First is to single tap the word (placing the cursor in or next to it) then tap the "Swype" key. The second is to upgrade to the latest version of Swype (be sure to uninstall and current version). Instructions are in the next post. The most recent version simply stops trying to change the word on double tap so you will still have to tap the "Swype" key to change the word.

That is all I have for Fixes! Next post will be Tweaks and/or workarounds!
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Tweaks to CM7:

4G:

4G/Wimax is a part of the nightlies and is in RC2. Simply update to the latest nightly/RC to enjoy!

HDMI:

#teamwin has this one figured out as well! As of this posting sound through HDMI is still not working but it works through the phone still (or external headset/speakers plugged in the headphone jack). You can download the app through the Market (Click here for market page). This no longer requires an accelerated kernel but it is helpful. If you are running CM7 Nightlies this has been included since Nightly 23. If you are on an older nightly, or RC1 or RC2 you can download it here.

Camera Shutter Sound Removal:

To remove the shutter sound remove or rename (through adb or Root Explorer or other file manager) shutter.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui (if it won't let you remember to mount R/W first!)

Swype:

Go to http://beta.swype.com and register for the beta. When installing a notification will pop up saying that it may interfere with stock beta; do not worry, this is for Sense users and Swype comes in stock Sense now.

Contact searching:

Again there are multiple work arounds:

The simplest is under the stock contacts tab (won't work under phone tab) simply long press Menu. This will bring the keyboard up and you can type to search.

You can also download "Dialer one" or "Dialer2" from the Market.

Visual Voicemail:

There is argument about this fix working.

Nandroid Backup your current CM7 setup. Wipe and flash a stock ROM. Use titanium backup to backup the app and data for VVM. Then Nandroid restore CM7 and restore the app and data for VVM.

The other option is simply to use Google Voice, you do NOT have to get a new number to do this. You can set this up at www.google.com/voice

SD Card speeds:

Transfer speeds are currently very slow with the newest kernel. This is being worked on and should be fixed before CM7 final. Until then you can either boot into recovery and use USB-MS to transfer files or you can download an app called Multi Mount SD-Card from the Market.

Force close ANY app via long-pressing back button:

Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > check "Stop app via long-press"

ADW Launcher "Slow"?
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
For now I am using this for kernels.

Savaged-Zen [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+CFS/BFS!] [with SBC]

Savaged-Zen [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+CFS/BFS!] [with noSBC]

Tiamat [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+BFS] [with or without SBC]

If you are having any problems while using these kernels please flash the stock kernel back (by reflashing the ROM) to see if the problem is the kernel or CM itself.

Changelog:

For a changelog of CM7 go here.

And lastly if you are having any hardware problems with your phone and need to return it to Sprint: Click here to unroot.

Hope this doesn't sound too dumb...

But how do you get holding the "back" capacitive button to force close the app you're in? I always thought that was a CM feature, but I've never been able to figure out how to enable it...

Its for the wimax disconnect bug. You can put that into terminal instead of reseting your phone to get back onto wimax.

Good post. Can you link the OP to the Wiki as well? There's a CM7-specific page that has a lot of this information. Would be good to cross-pollinate.

Added to the OP, thanks (ran out of xda thanks.... I'll hit you back tomorrow)

I know it may seem arbitrary but I'm trying to keep this just fixes and small tweaks that improve usability. Other mods are more of a person preference issue. I would like to see a thread for that, though. Maybe you could start it ;);)

[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Also one thing that might want to note:

RC1 requires the 20110120 GApps which are designed for Android 2.3-2.3.2.

RC2 and Nightly 11+ require the 20110307 GApps which are designed for Android 2.3.3.

The 20110120 GApps can be grabbed from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and the 20110307 (since they're newest) can be found at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Yeah, that is actually where I kanged some of the material. I just hoped that having a fresh topic would help people to find the answer as many have trouble searching the CM and nightly thread.

Yeah, I was aware of that but I figured no one would be on RC1 or pre-11 nightly anymore.

Thanks for all the help guys!
[EVO 4G General] strung:
I just want to point out that the CyanogenMod kernel shipped by default uses the BFS scheduler. BFS in theory should be a better scheduler for a device like a cell phone than CFS.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Where did you hear that? CM stock kernel should be CFS.

And the CFS/BFS issue varies greatly by user habits, personal preferences, and phone hardware.
[EVO 4G General] Shidell:
Any idea how we can help out on the GPS 'binary blob' troubleshooting?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
I think it would be more helpful for people who maybe download Gapps many moons ago and stuck it on their SD card, and are trying to flash them on newer CM7 builds and don't realize why it's not working because they don't know the need a newer version.
[EVO 4G General] Wasney:
Just a quick question for anyone that may know.

When using swype, if I need to change a word, when I double-tap the word I get a "edit text" menu (for cut, copy, and paste) that comes up on top of the swype word menu. Does this happen to anyone else? It makes it so I can not select an alternative word, and I have to minimize and then bring back up my keyboard to continue typing.

EDIT: Never mind, found out in the wiki that this is a known issue with 2.3.3 -_-
[EVO 4G General] jlew2:
thanks

ledders n **** yo
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Upgrade to the latest version of Swype. The double-tap should be disabled, and instead you tap once, then tap the Swype key.

[EVO 4G General] Darkmx2000:
I tried this and i dont know if anyone else gets this but when i hold the back button it kills the app, but when i go into menu to my apps they are start to load again which ends up causing lag till they are done loading back up?
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
If you are using long press back to kill ADW launcher then this will happen.

Perhaps what you are finding is that when you first touch back it exits the app you are in, then you continue to hold and it FCs ADW. There is really no fix for this as the app you were trying to FC closed on its own.
[EVO 4G General] wmdunn:
Very minor issue ... but wondering. In the CM7 builds, under ringtones and notifications there is always a double entry for "Shocking" and "Teleport". I typically delete any rings, alarms, notifications (other than my favs) from the system/media/audio folder, but even after deletion, these two remain under settings/sound. Any advice as to where they are located, or is it simply a file edit? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
Hmm, I never venture in to "Android System" ringtones. I looked in mine and I have two "Spacious" (under notifications) but not doubles of the ones you mentioned (but they are there singley). I went into Root Explorer and ran a search for "Spacious" and oddly enough it found zero... (and it's not in /system/media/audio/* either)

I'm going to keep digging but if anyone else has any thoughts please post them.
[EVO 4G General] wmdunn:
Actually, I'm not surprised that you have different duplicates ... I think this might vary from rom to rom. I think that it is somehow related to themes, but I'm not sure. When you go into menu/sounds to select a ring or notification, one of the duplicates will most likely not make a sound when selected. That's what I can't find the source of ... thanks for trying to help.
