[Q] Cyanogen mod 7 RC2 With Savage Zen Kernel - General Questions and Answers

--I hope somebody else has tried this mixture as well; I know a few have, and 1 person I seen on the internet said it was a good match and WIMAX worked fine.
--When I installed Savage Zen (The newest GB version) to my Evo4G with CyanogenMod7 - RC2, I had a few problems; but the primary problem I had was: WIMAX was NOT working. It worked at first (for maybe a minute or 2), then it turned off; I turned it back on, it connected, and then it turned off after something like 10 seconds.... I rebooted, did a battery pull, tried quite a few things and it kept doing that. Later that day it stopped connecting completely. When I hit "connect", it just said 'connecting', or 'Finding'.... cant remember exactly sorry, but It would just stay like that, and nothing would happen.
--Eventually I just re flashed CM7 RC2 and stayed with the original kernel and now WIMAX works fine; as far as I can see....
--I was wondering if anybody out there 'had the same problem'; 'didn't have the same problem'; or most importantly "'why it happened' and/or 'how to fix it'"? -AND if there are any Kernels that somebody would recommend with CM7 RC2 EVO4G that keeps WIMAX Working? Thanks Ahead of time to Anybody and Everybody that helps me out with this.
THANK YOU!!

What version of the kernel are you running?

I had the same problem. I was using the lastest version on Savage's website. Non-sbc, though. My 4g was crippled. I had to revert to stock CM7 RC2's kernel to get 4g working again. However, for some reason, when I tether it wireless, it slooowwssss down. The speed is great on the phone itself. Well over 6 mb's down. But tethering is another story.
What do you think I should do?

Ok.... I used the gb "bfs" I think it was called. (U know it started with BS) when I first installed cm7 rc2 the newest savage Zen version made the wimax and wifi not work.
Then there was a new savage Zen that released on March 15th: I again installed the "bfs" version(brain f#@% version), it even had wimax in the name so I thought it would fix the problem..... when I first installed it, it worked PERFECTLY, then 30 minutes later wifi and wimax stopped working again.
PLEASE HELP! I miss the battery life of savage Zen!!! What's the problem??

Ok so far I 'think' i "may" have gotten it to work by using the cfs version of savaged-zen instead of bfs.... (When I 1st installed the cfs version, the wifi and wimax worked fine just like the bfs version, and just like the bfs version after about 30 minutes wifi and wimax stopped working; but UNLIKE the bfs version, when I rebooted my phone with the cfs version, wifi and wimax work again[hopefully everybody followed that]. So we will see)
Hopefully i don't have to reboot my phone every 30 minutes to have wifi and wimax to work!! Thanks to everybody who helped; and good luck to everybody that needed help (Like there were SO many replies on this thread)(So far.........)

Any updates on this today? Thank You.

I can't get there new versions to work

[Q] Wifi Calling CM7?

Any one figure out how to flash the T-mobile Wifi Calling to the CM7, tired using the Nexis one and it says something about it failing and needing the correct code. I really don't know how to code to try to get it to work. I have little to no signal in my house and I can't seem to figure it out. The apk install force closes and give errors once system is loaded.
Try this it is pulled from eagleblood rom see if it will work with CM7 its a flashable install of the file that you need to flash through CWM.
http://www.multiupload.com/6I34S746Q8
Dowloading now will update if good or not. If this works I owe you a million...
Nope This applications wifi calling force close...
There has to be more to it than what was extracted....
Anyone else got any ideas
I tried that on CM #3 and it didn't work
I tried putting the original one from the g2x to cm7 - it did not work.
I was wondering - maybe someone can make it work if they get the one that comes for the nexus 1 or some other phone? One, thats actually designed to work for cm7 ?
here is the link to the one that works on nexus one HERE
I played around with getting this working last night, but basically only got as far as Wi-fi Calling loading, but not working. In other words, it would give an error about an Invalid SIM, and naturally wouldn't work. I might play around with it a bit more tonight and look at the logcat a bit more, but I suspect there is some glue code that is missing to make it work. It might make more sense to seriously consider getting it to work once CM7 gets a bit more stable on the phone.

[Q] Problems with CyanogenMod 7 (mesmerizemtd)

I have a US Cellular Mesmerize and I recently installed CyanogenMod 7 (mesmerizemtd).
I am having the following problems and was wondering if it is just me:
1) USB mass storage doesn't work most of the time. If I connect my Mesmerize to my computer using the USB cable it will charge but it won't connect to the SD card and USB debugging doesn't appear.
2) LED flashlight apps don't work
3) Wi-fi hotspot doesn't work. I can get ad-hoc apps working but not the included hotspot.
I did a backup in cwm recovery before installing, can I restore this to go back to Froyo? And then can I go back to CyanogenMod by restoring another backup?
The flashligh apps won't work right now. They are still working on that.
The usb issue. Try installing the nexus drivers. If that doesn't fix it try a different usb cable
The wifi hotspot I have no idea as I personally never use it. I'm sure someone else will chime in with ideas for it though.

+1 to scarmon... cm7 uses nexus s USB drivers so install those. torch is not working yet but will come in a nightly eventually.
As for wifi hotspot, it doesn't work with the built in one. I've had no problems running as ad-hoc with wireless tether and with barnacle tether.

ongoing CM7 issue
I'm having quirky issues as well:
Can't stream for very long, not related to the screen timeout. It tends to be more aligned with a weak signal. I didn't have this problem with PnP or Heinz so I know it's not the location since I've always had a decent signal. I've tried *228 and reflashed multiple times and tried the 3 different governor settings with no difference.
Also related to this (I assume): my screen jumps back and forth and the keyboard posp up/disappears regularly with a low signal.
I like the ROM, speed, and options CM7 has provided but I need to stream since I commute 1 1/2 hrs to work!
Not complaining but I just wanted to discuss with others some issues and hopefully help each other out.
Thanks for the effort everyone puts into the community!
Are you us cellular or cell south. If uscc. See if its set to automatic under mobile networks. If cell south. Leave it on home only

As far as I know the Rom shouldn't impact your signal but I could be wrong. Your using the same radio as you did before. Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds or so and give it another try. Supposedly this reconnects your phone to the network with a fresh connection. Don't know if it's just tech BS or not but it seems to help me.

From the reading I've done its not BS. It resets some of the small componets that get trapped or gated or something. Apparently only removing all power for an extended period of time can fix this. Since finding this out I do it about once or twice a week. May be why I very rarely have issues. I don't know. Could just be luck

I tried the battery pull but didn't know it needed to be an extended period of time. Works like a charm for streaming now. I do still get the keyboard pop up when I'm at work because of the weak signal but no biggie. No other issues that no one else hasn't mentioned, but well worth the risk for the battery life and speed. As always, you guys kick a$$!

Wi-Fi staying awake on Froyo but not Gingerbread!

Hi, I've been lurking for answers regarding a Wi-Fi problem that I have on ANY gingerbread ROMs that I tried and I found no solution. Hence this new thread.
My Wi-Fi will not stay awake and will turn itself off (EVEN when it's set to NEVER sleep) a couple of minutes after the screen goes off. I tried many, if not all Wi-Fi lockers and none worked. The problem is that when I'm listening to streaming radio, for example, the data will switch from Wi-Fi to 4G without any warning. Asking Tasker to let the screen on work but gee, it's a workaround that uses a lot of battery. (Oh also, I asked Tasker to let my WiFi on and it didn't work neither.
The funny thing is: I have not this problem with Froyo. Only with Gingerbread. I tried the OTA 2.3.3, the Trigger ROM (from CM7), the Cyanogen RC1, nightly 97,98,99,100,101,102 and 103 ROMs, the KANG rom... NO one worked...
HELP!!
I have a P999.
Thanks!
I hope one of our amazing devs can fix this annoying bug.

[CLOSED][KERNEL][UPDATE: 05/24/2012] bKernel-v2.3 & bKernel-CM7-v2.3 - 2.6.32.59[CLOS
Thread closed because I no longer own this device. The download links no longer work. Sorry for any inconvenience.
So it's time for my dumb question of the day. Does this work on CM7?
Nah sorry it doesn't. I may try to make a CM7 version but I don't know yet. I don't use CM so I don't build for it. All my stuff will be stock ROM based unless otherwise noted!
Alrighty. I can accept that. I'm trying to find the best and most stable ROM at the moment for my girlfriend. Preferably one that has wifi tethering but By the sounds of it it is a ***** on this phone.
Hey idk if you know this or not but I was talking to purple today about my phone and one of then said well thank good the stock kernel has iptables. I asked more about it and it's what let's my phone do wireless tethering. He said it isn't to hard to add into a kernel if you have the source, another I don't know.about this phone. But if you have the source for this kernel and want to take a shot at it then you could add that into this kernel. Just my thoughts on it. Also, how is everything coming on this. If the Dev for cm leaves I can't leave my girlfriends phone on a ROM not being supported anymore.

Posted a CM7 version, based off Tickerguy's latest CM7 kernel(found in Beta 7!!)
A new stockROM version of bKernel released. It's DEV-0.23!
Added a new CM7 version with updates from my last StockROM version release. It's super fast!!
Added a EXT3 stock ROM version of bKernel-DEV-0.23 for those of you who are worried about data corruption when using EXT2.
Added CM7-DEV-0.4 version that fixes WiFi hotspot issue on Tickerguy's latest beta build of CM7
Working great so far! I flashed this within minutes after it was posted with the WiFi fix. Running @ 1.5Ghz since I flashed it with no problems. I have profiles set-up in SetCPU to knock the MAX down when the screen turns off and I'm 86% after 3.5 hours of moderate use. WiFi tether is working fine with no issues so far.
Thanks again b_randon! You saved me from the horror of stock on my Intercept and I thank you for that as well!

Ha lol yeah what was your username on SDX? I guess I developed quite a reputation when working on the intercept. I wish I had more time free because I need to release a new intercept ROM and I would like to build a kernel for it as well, but I just have to much stuff to do as it is right now lol!
As long as people continue to like my stuff, I will keep releasing more and more lol!

I didn't post much on the forums unless I had a problem or a question. I am more of a lurker because I still consider myself a NOOB and don't want to ruffle peoples feathers. I'll tell you though, I was flipping back and forth between the three new phones on VM and I chose the Triumph because I saw that you were dev'ing for it. Anyway...enough of that.
I have noticed, after using it for a day or so, that the hotspot will intermittently turn off and on. The thing is that I didn't test the hotspot significantly prior to flashing your kernel so I don't know if it was just that way after the CM7 0.8 update or after flashing your kernel.
I will test it some more in the next few days and maybe re-flash CM7 0.8 without your kernel to see if the hotspot bug is still there. I'll let you know.
WiFi Tether Working Fine
I just wanted to give you an update on my WiFi testing.
Apparently, the WiFi tether issues I was having as stated in my earlier post were just anomalous. Since then I have tested it a few times and seem to have no more problems.
Thanks again for your AWESOME work and I look forward to any further work you do for this phone.
BTW...If you have the time, check out this link to my problem over on SDX and see if you can help out at all or have any ideas.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=18405.0
Installed this kernel and really like it, hopefully more enhancements will be added in the future. Just one minor thing I'd like is to be able to set frequency for OC/UC from within CM7's settings menu. Thanks.
UPDATE: Noticed it uses more battery just idling in airplane mode than TheOC, about 1-2%/hr vs <0.5%/hr. Going back to that one, the MT is fast enough for me, so battery life is more important.
Updated to stock rom version 0.24-DEV and CM7 version 0.5-DEV. OP updated
Updated to v1.01
I have update the FroYo kernel to v2.0!! I promise its the fastest kernel available for FroYo. I have patched the sources up to the Linux kernel 2.6.32.59 which is as high as you can go in the 2.6.32 kernel. I am still working on getting my CM7 kernel updated and I haven't got to test it yet on the new CM7 builds, but I will!!
Enjoy!!
I have just updated both kernels. The FroYo is at v2.2 and the CM7 kernel is a v1.4. They both include the same changes, and they both run very good.
I have flashed the CM7 one to g60's latest CM7 and it works fine, and it should work on any flavor of CM7.
I have flashed the FroYo kernel to bROM and the stock ROM and they both booted up fine. I have not been able to reproduce the hang at the splash screen that some of you all are experiencing on the stock ROM, but I am trying to recreate it so I can figure out what is happening. This latest kernel should flash fine, but if not, know that I am still trying to figure out what is causing it!
I changed zRam around a bit, and now it is setup by default with a disksize of around 96 mb, which I run 100 mb, but now all you should have to do is call mkswap on /dev/zram0 (on the FroYo kernel) and zRam should work fine!
Hope everyone enjoys the new kernels, and keep on the lookout for CM7 bROM edition, its in the works right now!!
im in love the the CM7 kernel =]

[ROM][CM7][Latest Nightly][8APR]

Hello everyone:
I've used quite a few of the ROMs on here, so I thought I'd give back what I can.
Because CM has quit putting out nightlies for us, I used lithid's CMCompiler to build the latest CM7 ROM for our Evos.
Some caveats to these builds:
- I have done no actual coding. I just took the time to download, compile, and make it available to y'all. I take no credit for any of the work.
- Standard disclaimers apply - not my fault for anything that might happen to your phone.
- You can ask me to troubleshoot, and I will try to help, but I do not claim any expertise other than I've been doing this for a while.

EDIT: I've been drinking a little bit so I'm gonna toot my own horn:
this is fastest, smoothest, most efficient version of CM I've ever flashed and I've been using for over a year and half. GPS locks in seconds, battery will last 24 hours on light-medium usage, and 4G is flawless. The only thing that I haven't been able to test is bluetooth but as far as I can tell CM has always been a little wonky with that so take it or leave it. #hahawoo
EDIT2: I will update this ROM every few days and update this post with the latest.
EDIT3: BLUETOOTH IS ****ING AWESOME
Works Great
Just flashed this over the latest #256 nightly and didnt have any problems. Thanks
Just as I finished installing the repo yesterday, lol. Good job.
Put this on the cm7 thread but was wondering if anyone knows how to get the honeycomb lockscreen on this rom. I know its possible just can't remember how. All help is much appreciated
Look in cyanogenmod settings-lockscreen settings. Find minimal ring style and that should get you what you are looking for. Here is my layout.

You know... I sh** you not, but this is the fastest version of any Cyanogen ROM I have ever used on my Evo. Smooth as ever. I'm using the stock kernel, though. Flashing SavagedZen 2.2.0 CFS leads to boot loops and Taimat 3.3.7 has turrets syndrome, lol.
My only prob with this rom so far is how long it takes to load a2sd when i restart it. 7.1 ran and loaded up rather quickly around 30 sec this one seems sluggish. I have about 165 apps but this rom ranges from 2-3 min at least. Not horrible just weird this one takes 4-6x longer
Works great....Thanks for compiling.

Thanks for updating it for us,keep it coming!
Thanks. This is the first build of CM7 (2.3.7) I haven't had trouble with. I had everything up to 2.3.4 working beautifully but had gone back to sense ROMs because every time I loaded anything AOSP 2.3.5 and above I'd get 1 or 2 problems that were extremely inconvenient (IE: No GPS, Data connection on 3G wouldn't work, stuff like that).
I've been testing this for a few hours and while I don't want to jinx anything, it seems to be 100%. GPS locked on really fast, stable data connection, AOSP speed.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks man! I'm running it now and its just buttery smooth. I like it better then 7.1

I have tried Skype once or twice. It usually doesn't work. I stick with Gtalk for video chatting.
Is anyone having overheating issues with this one? I am on 256 and even tried the stable one and my phone overheats alot. I am unable to use the GPS very often because it heats the phone up past 112. Which then crashes the GPS. I have to turn the ac on in my car and hold the phone there until it cools down again. Then I have to reboot the phone. Will try going to this one this weekend to see if it helps.
Sae I have not had any of those issues with this Kang. Are you running GPS while your phone is plugged in? Maybe try redownloading and reflashing.
