CyanogenMod

Okay I am trying to understand everything with cyanogenmod here. so far i have rooted my phone (2.2 voodoo kernel/custom recovery). I am wanting to put cyanogenmod on it because ive seen/heard the many features that it has to offer. Upon reading all this I am coming confused and need to know is there a "Stable and working" cyanogenmod for the samsung mesmerize? and how to put it on the phone if there is. Please and thank you

This has all been covered in the actual CM thread, all of our ROM's are stable they just have some missing features (AOSP built ones anyway)

MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.

So the only thing not working is MMS?

Jesus Christ. Yall read the damn CyanogenMod ROM thread, come on.

Lol... @add im becoming a big fan of yours you are blunt and don't beat around the bush!!!! Funny **** comes from your fingers...

Any tips for using wireless tethering on this ROM? I couldn't find it in Settings so I'm using an app but it unusably slow. Has the stock menu option been removed? I don't see USB tethering either.
Also, is there a way to get Swype back? Maybe this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841603.html

Barnacle wifi seems to work.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I went back to super clean for the time being, as I also couldn't find any way to access my phone from my windows pc with cyanogenmod - I guess you need a separate app for that too? I will have to do some more research before using that rom. Can't wait, it is by far the easiest on the eyes.

From now on the answer is always 42. roflcopters!

Any word an a "my contacts backup" apk that will run on the cm6?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

Why don't you just put your contacts on your Google account?

thats the best way to save contacts cause then it auto syncs back to the phone on any rom

In hindsight ... it would have been the wiser choice.

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues. I can't even enable mine. A friend is running the pbj time kernel says his is running fine. I flashed as posted and I get no Bluetooth. Also he claims to not have the roam triangle. The only difference is the kernel. Any thoughts?
I changed to pbj time kernel. I can now enable and file transfer via Bluetooth

Netflix has vanished

I can't find netflix on the market anymore. anyone else having this issue? I'm guessing this might be an isolated incident. I've had a couple market issues since flashing synergy 6/1 but I thought I had squashed them.

I'm pretty sure that it's due to it not working on the official Gingerbread release. I updated my wife's unrooted phone today, and Netflix stopped working. It would start the stream, but it would stop and then go back to the queue.

I just checked market and sure enough, its gone. Maybe good news is just around the corner for us who havent been able to run it.

I just called netflix their words were "Near Future" Which means yes they will fix sense 2.1

Very cool. Thanks for making that call. Thanks button mashed.

I wonder why they would take it off though. Why not just release an update when it's ready. Hmm. Oh well.

Because it would reduce call volume if people thought it was gone and new users wouldn't even know it existed.

I see. That makes sense. Makes me happy! The only draw back to this rom has been not having netflix. Hopefully that will be remedied soon.

After speaking with my Dad who didnt even know there was a Netflix App, decided to download it before it disappeared and the Market said that his EVO wasnt a supported phone. I am under the impression that Netflix dropped support for both 2.2 and 2.3 on the EVO until they can fix it for both.

hmmm i still have it in the market but heres a change
Currently Netflix playback is supported on the following phones:
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
• Motorola Droid with Android 2.2
• LG Revolution with Android 2.2
• Casio G'zOne Commando C771 with Android 2.2

There is no proof I called the source directly has to do with the new update.

I noticed that, and trust your input. I'll never understand why some people just post stupid crap like this guy did. If I'd noticed it was his first post I wouldn't have bothered.

I have an older .apk for the NetFlix app and when I install it and open it, it tells me I HAVE to upgrade to continue, then searches the market and says requested item cannot be found, click OK and right back to the you must upgrade screen.. so it appears that the NetFlix app is gone completely for the Evo until the fix the 2.3 issue. Can anyone else confirm the same?

I noticed that too! This really sucks ! Now what am I going to do at work? Maybe its time to introduce ubuntu to the work place

why wouldn't it work on the new update? it works on cm7 and thats running 2.3.4 -.-

Have you tried running it recently (since the update?) Possibly if you were lucky enough to have the last version they had before they pulled it for the EVO then maybe it will still work for you, but the older version I have doesn't work.

I have the last version. When I tried playing anything it would load and say that netflix had not been activated on my device. Not that it worked to begin with, but that message is new to me.

Guys server side Netflix has pulled support for our phone until they fix it. It will not work on any version

Looking for external camera.

Anyone know of a way to hook up an external camera, perhaps to the USB port? Maybe for video calling?

Why would you do that you have a front facing camera....smh... and no your phone can't do that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Actually I thought of a work around....smh...no faith. And not specifically the skyrocket. Gotta think outside the box to see the reason for a miniture camera that can video call.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

How are you gonna build a driver to recognize an input device like that on top of making it recognize a video input over USB and then activate it based on app demand when apps don't natively support it so you would have to trick the phone into thinking its the ffcamera seems like an awful lot of work for something built in already IMO.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Like I said...think outside the box. Bring the camera out or make a daisey chain with a simple switch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I thought of that after I posted it...then I was thinking it would be easier to extend the camera out and have it functional.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

The easiest way to do it, I thing is to use the Eye-Fi connect SD card in you camera. ( http://goo.gl/dxXK ) and especially the Mobile X2.
There is an app for android. I never used it but I read a lot on it lately and it seems really interesting

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468531
don't think this does what you want but there ya go

I was thinking about being able to do video chat with someone but be able to have the camera pinned to my jacket or something slllowing person I'm talking to see what I'm seeing. Extending the lens out is easiest thing I can think of. Will check out those links though.
Thanks guys

Calling

One my brand new art hox, I can hear them but they can't hear me ?? How come. Not every time, just once in a while??
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Try downloading an app called RecForge from the Google Play Store and record a short audio clip. If you don't hear any audio when playing it back then you may have a hardware issue and a legit reason to exchange it at the place where you purchased it.
Also, have you loaded a custom ROM on your device or are you using the stock OS?

Well yea I'm running a custom ROM
It only happens at work.

Which ROM are you running? Some of the earlier versions of CM10 had microphone issues that were causing what you are explaining.

Google Play Movies

I am trying to watch my movies on my Rooted Xoom with CM10. I read that the app now allows streaming for rooted devices. This isn't the case for me. That doesn't work at all and I have reinstalled the app and rebooted numerous times. So here is what I am asking. First off is there anyway to get a real full functioning Google play movies app for my Xoom, if not how can I get the streaming to work?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app

I know that xoom users are using a modified gapps, I made a symlinked gapps for systems with small system partitions. I posted in the general area, but haven't got any feedback. I figured it was because you guys are used to using the xoom gapps. This is the complete gapps package, with everything included. We are still in alpha with CM10 since we got stuck at froyo, so only me and a few other devs have really used it. Our CM10 is not fully functional so I can't test everything, but everything I could test did work. Hope this might help.
