Alright guys, I have a simple question for ya.
I've recently flashed CyanogenMod 7 onto my Droid 1, and have been experiencing problems. They are as follows:
1) After a phone call, I either need to wait about 5 minutes to get my data(3G) signal back, or reboot because it never gets a data connection back
2) I can no longer multitask as efficiently, and example is if I'm listening to music (Pandora, Rhapsody, or the default music app) and I go home to do another activity (Facebook, Browser, Pulse, etc.) my music app stops playing and the ongoing notification disapears.
3) My Facebook contacts are no longer kept in sync. It still is the same version as the one I used on CM6.1.2. However, when I do select to sync, it adds the contacts, without pictures, and within an hour, they are removed.
4) My messaging app, although it is locked in my memory, still is being killed by my system.
I've tried restoring, fixing permissions, formatting data and system.
So: has anyone else that hs CM7 expierenced these problems and if you did, did you have a solution?
Thanks in advance

I have the problem with Pandora/slacker and mutlitasking... though I haven't had any of the other problems. I'm on nightly #25. No solutions yet.

1) Known issue with all GB based ROM's for the D1. Enable airplane mode a few times to force it to come back.
2) This is due to GB's aggressive memory management and the D1's lack of RAM. To help this you can do 1 of 3 things.
A. Use Swappa 2 to make a swap space on your SDcard.
B. Enable Compcache at about 18% or so.
C. Change ROM's and use Project Elite 5.0.2. They have a function that allows you to lock up to three apps into memory so they don't get auto-closed.
3) I don't use Facebook so I'm no help there.
4) Refer to number 2.
Good Luck!
Hello I'm having the same problem. My Droid seems to not be able to multitask very well anymore. My music player will often get killed by the system randomly, and it has made this phone pretty much useless for music.
I have tried enabling compcache and everything and it doesn't seem to help. I assume this is a problem of the Droid not having enough memory?

I'm running CM7 RC4 on my droid and the only "issue" I've noticed is that I get a low memory warning from time to time.
What kernel are you running?
Perhaps CM7 is too much for droid at stock speeds.
The 1.1Ghz low volt Chevy kernel does a very good job for me.
Do you have any issues with music playback? Maybe my kernel is the problem. The 1.2 ghz slayher kernel bootloops with my CM7 but it worked fine on CM6.

Sorry to post again, but I just wanted to update you guys. Flashed the Chevy 1.1 LV kernel and am still having the music player shut itself off when I try to open other apps. If I leave the music player up in the foreground, it will run all day with no issues. The minute it gets sent to the background, android seems to kill it within seconds.
The taskbar notification for the player will also disappear, but may reappear randomly as I continue to use my phone. It will appear briefly, then vanish. The music will never resume playback, however, until you physically hit the pause button and then the play button.
The sad part is that this behavior was exactly what my Motorola Q used to do. The thing had so little memory that the minute apps were released from the foreground view, they'd almost instantly close. I hate to say this but I think the only solution is a new phone... I guess android has finally outpaced the hardware on the OG Droid.
I've tried everything setting the music & media processes to 'always keep alive' using the little blue fish memory manager, but that doesn't seem to work. Like I said before, *something* is closing the music process very aggressively when it leaves the foreground and I'm not sure why it's doing this.

Yeah I'm using cm7 on my Droid incredible. Everything works fine except, sometimes applications such as messaging app and the default web browser restart randomly. I'm also using the kernel that came with it.

I've found that particular memory-hungry apps tend to cause the music player to close itself. The browser for one, almost guarantees that the music playback will stop. Last night I was able to keep the music playback going while switching between my SMS inbox and Tweetdeck. However certain other app combinations don't seem to work so well.
I've heard some talk of "bulletproofing" ... is this something that could help in my case? What does it do and how do I go about locking the music player in memory?

I have tried a couple of music players and they start but always freeze on me.
Only thing I could think of was I froze the drm.apk. I unfroze anything I could think of but still have problems. My phone just froze up anytime I try and use the music app. I can start to play a song but thats it.

that drm apk needs to be unfrozen me thinks
blazing through on my Galaxy Nexus via XDA app
Yeah thats what I thought.
Digital Rights Management of something like that. I unfroze the 3 I thought pertained to that and still had problems.
clear the caches and data on the music player reboot.
I lowered my memory settings and that seemed to help.
I've been freezing DRM related stuff for almost 2 years now without any harm to media playback so i doubt that's the problem. Glad you got it figured out though.

Well now that you say that I will go back and freeze those and see what happens.
Seems like the memory settings could have been the problem. Couldnt multitask because it ran out of memory.
As the title The app acts like the song went to that spot and stays where you put it but the song will be at the beginning. Doesnt happen every time, force closing it and reopening will fix just wondering if this happens to anyone else?

Hey guys,
I recently noticed that on long videos with flash player, it will start to glitch out and stop working. The audio glitches for a second and the video freezes, and the audio still doesn't stop when you return to the launcher. The only way to stop it is to force close the app and open it again to play the video again. This happens anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes into a video, and it get very irritating. I have tried reinstalling multiple versions, changing permissions, wiping dalvik and cache, and I am beginning to the think that there is an app that is interfering with the flash player in the background. The problem is, I am on gingerbread and so apps like greenify don't work, and so tracking the app down what be quite a task. Does anyone know any other solutions to try to fix this glitching? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
Sorry to bump, but I forgot that when the video crashes and audio continues , sometimes a music player will open up and start playing music. Also, it seems to trigger by an app in the background. Thanks for ypur help.

There is a stream specific audio app I use that quits if I switch to the home screen or another app, instead of keeping the audio going. The display has nothing useful other than a pause/play button. This means I can't check my email without starting the app all over again.
I know that the app can be designed differently to avoid this, but thats not happening. Is there any way to trick the app into thinking its still being displayed?
By the way thiis is the behavior on my Nexus 4 phone. On my Nexus 7 tablet it keeps playing in the background. Both run 4.4.2.
