In fact, I'm getting a whole host of issues with CM6.1 that I wasn't getting on the nightly I was using (219). I just went ahead and restored the nandroid I made before moving to CM6.1 as I didn't see any features I needed that were added and it sure seemed like a lot of stuff wasn't working correctly.

Sanchless posted:I'm about to do a fresh reflash on my phone with a tweaked and updated ROM and I wanted to double check something. That said, I have a question regarding Angry Birds that I'm hoping someone can answer: I did a full wipe when I went to CM6.1 and my Angry Birds progress was wiped. It was only then that I discovered that Titanium Backup doesn't have Angry Birds in the app list for me to even try to back up, and the progress apparently isn't saved to the SD card where I thought it would be. Edit: My Google-fu was apparently weak-- Here's the answer for anyone interested. Curiously it also mentions TB as doing it and it definitely doesn't for me.

big mean giraffe posted:I installed it, but if rumors are true I'm probably going to just wipe and put a rooted 2.3 on tomorrow if it drops. I absolutely love the bounce-back scrolling. Hopefully Gingerbread has enough eye candy to make up for it. I want the eye candy of Gingerbread like the screen-off animation (drat that looks awesome) but I don't think I could live without those little things that make CM6 great. The trouble is you know there's going to be some feature or two in Gingerbread that no one's mentioned prior to the release like there was with C2DM in Froyo that you're going absolutely have to have, then you'll be stuck between the two until CM catches up.

Every other app I've tried to run has worked without problems, including other Google apps. I used the file permissions fixer in ROM manager for good measure but it didn't fix anything. Any ideas? Secondly, what are you doing to restore what is presumably the stock ROM? Why didn't you just restore a nandroid? You shouldn't need to touch TiBackup at all.

I went to 6.1.1 on my N1 today and had GMail force close constantly. The solution was to go to the Market and redownload GMail. There sure seems to be something flaky with the GApps.

Zarkov Cortez posted:I had been having issues with my orientation detection in maps & browser with my N1 using CM 6.1.1 (I don't know when it first started) and tried the built in factory restore with no luck. Long story short, I finally get the waybill for FedEx but was able to fix the issue by installing FRG33 then going back to FRG83(D). CM6 just does this. I want to say it's like 191MB on CM6 versus 170-something MB on stock. Obviously CM6 does a better job of managing space than stock.

To everyone saying we're close to an RC on CM7, I thought there were still quite a few features missing, mostly related to the new status bar? Things like battery percentage, signal meter, etc? Is this not the case?

letsgoflyers81 posted:Have you tried this? I know it works great on Froyo but I don't know about Gingerbread.

In fact, that's the exact kitchen I want to use as I've become quite addicted to the circle with the disappearing hashes at the points of my choosing.

Primworm posted:A while back I rooted my friends lg ally for her so she could use wifi tethering. Today there was apparently a system update and it broke the root I had done, and I hadn't made a nandroid just because it seemed un needed. Well now I can't seem to get it to re root with z4root. Even after a factory reset, which I think just deleted all user data, I can't get it to root, but the superuser icon is still in the app drawer. I'm guessing the only solution is to use adb to fix it but I'm not too sure. Anyone have any insight on this? That said, I'm sure there will be a root exploit for the Ally update that just rolled out. Keep checking xda and hope it comes soon. Edit: deong posted:edit: speaking of themes.. the kitchen at http://circle.glx.nl/ has become quite comprehensive. It has options for status bar icons (batt, signal etc), the status bar, the boot animation. It apparently works with CM6&7, but I've not yet tried it. That might be old info though. Truthfully I was waiting for that kitchen to work for the battery circle before moving to CM7, right now the only thing holding me back are worries about the Dialer "wonkiness" that plague the threads on it (although I think I have the same issues in CM6.1.1). Is everyone still happy with CM7 on their N1s? Some positivity might move me off the fence. ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jan 22, 2011 |

I've been using CM7 build 14 on my N1 for a day now. I wish I could say I liked it more than I do. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it (although I've received no phone calls) but I just don't see a lot of differences. I'm 99% sure I'm going to nandroid back to my CM6.1.1 install and see if miss anything I had in CM7. It seemed like it was all aesthetics, as I like the screen off animation and dislike all the black everywhere. Once things move along further in CM7 development I might try to learn theming or whatnot but for right now it just doesn't have anything for me that CM6 didn't.

Is there a way to remove the clock from the statusbar in CM7 yet? And if not, is there a way to do it myself? I can live with my signal meter being bars (though I greatly prefer dB numbers) but having a clock on the statusbar just makes me feel like an Android stereotype and it's just useless anyway.

Could someone running CM7 check something for me (even better if it's on an N1)? Add lockscreen toggle to the notification widget, and set your lockscreen for gestures (and make one for unlocking). Then disable your unlock sliders and run with it for a while. I've never enabled trackball or menu wake. Eventually the lockscreen toggle stops functioning for me. It will either never engage the lockscreen or it always will, regardless of the setting in the toggle. If it gets stuck off, you can reenable it by setting a security pattern (or PIN), then disabling it. If it gets stuck on, only a reboot will make it work again. I'm trying to see if this is just me or reproduceable. I started with a clean wipe on the latest nightly, and it did it the previous nightly as well.

The bug is lovingly called the "wonked" and someone on XDA has come up with an app called Dewonkifier that keeps the mic on the active device list that prevents the bug from happening. Despite continual mic pinging it hasn't effected my battery life at all. Ahem... it's Dewonkificator. The Dewonkifier is obviously some cheap Chinese patent-infringing knockoff thankyouverymuch.

Thanks for checking, FACKER, I really appreciate it. That's exactly the behavior I'm getting.
