CM7 Alpha 7 Comments

I just had to tell people, in case you have been worried about trying. I am running this rom right now, the battery life seems improved and the performance is phenomenal. The time I have spent with this phone I have been constantly trying new kernels and roms to see which runs the best, runs games smooth, generally works. And kept coming up with nice looking smooth roms missing the normal umph I am used to.
Updated to C7 A7 today and it works great smooth gaming everything works, the camera is much improved over the previous cm7's. I have no kernel flashed just the one that came with CM7 and it runs games like asphalt 6 perfectly smooth. This is clocked at 1124 as well so it runs cool (Temperature.) .. Fast and Cool Also has 380ish free RAM so it doesn't have allot of background stuff going, I would imaging the battery life is pretty good, don't know for sure yet. And the GPS works quick, connects to 10 satellites sitting on my couch in my living room!
The only real issue is the wifi signal is not as strong, though it doesn't disconnect or anything its just the signal is lower.
I know this is a bit random and what not but I wanted this out here for anyone that was looking for smooth gaming like I was, after all this is supposed to be faster than the tegra chipset!

Cool. I was waiting for it to be out of Alpha, but I may just go ahead and flash it sooner rather than later.

Yeah, take the jump. I haven't found a reason yet to not recommend it to anyone. Been playing with it pretty heavy today too.

Is anyone having issues with the wallpaper not sticking in cm7. Mine keeps changing randomly.

I'm on 6 right now and it's great. Quick and easy just like any other asop or CM rom.
Battery life is the best thing about this rom not including the other great modifications.

for me battery life is the worst thing =[

Battery life - (Light to moderate usage today) I've unplugged it and left it on from 3am to 8am and it showed 100% still. google and xda forum a little like 5mins and it dropped 2%. It hasn't been charged since and its been 15hours with 40% batt life.
Front camera looks hazy, not sure why but it'll probably get fixed by devs sooner or later. lock screen is awesome, really fast. Graphically every thing looks really good. On sense 3.0 we need to unlock to see time, with CM7 we don't need to any longer General text in CM7 is much biggerand Incoming call text is way-way-Wayyyy bigger compared to other roms Thank you devs ! it made it so much easier to see who's calling now.
i've been using various phones for the past few years and they all had this particular problem i've been facing. if someone calls me and hangs up and speed dials and calls me back immediately, my phone would be engaged. on CM7 and that problem has gone away!!! woohoo!!!!
i can't wait for it to go Beta/stable

have you tried clearing your batt stats in recovery ?
its been reported batt charging is a little off for some people. i was charging it last night and it usually takes between 3~4 hours. on CM7 it only took like 1.5 hours.
I've unplugged it after charging and left it on to see how the drainage goes. its seems alright here.

Hmm been thinking about using this but not sure since it's still in Alpha. I will probably just wait until it's out of alpha/beta. I want a solid rom without many glitches/bugs =p

Few people see the serious bugs that others do. I dont see any serious issues with my phone...There are "quirks" but not really bugs. (Alpha 7).
Matt

Use "FXR WIFI fix and rescue" from market..Fixed my low wifi signal bug instantly!!.Still have issue with wifi calling after all update/zip patches.Battery life great after stat wipe and calibration..Stable fast ROM with few bugs @-A7..Already dreaming of a ICS Cyanogen..

I think about 9/10 bugs in the CM7 thread now are due to noob mistakes or people not wiping properly or people restoring bad data into the ROM with titanium backup or its a badly behaving app not the ROM.
This ROM is rock solid for me and many others. Looking at the main thread it might seem otherwise because of all the people reporting errors. Not many happy users pop in to talk about how smooth and stable this ROM is.

All I normally do is just restore apps with data from Titanium backup is not the best route to take with CM?

Mokee "RELEASE" is out !!!

Woah Woah, My favorite ROM is on Progress.
Mokee Release
For those who wants to know :
Nightly - usually generated every 24 hours, experimental, newest features, unstable!
M Snapshot - milestone snapshot, more stable than a nightly but potentially some issues
Release Candidate - last builds before stable release, few minor issues, mostly stable and safe for daily use
Stable - most stable version available, all or nearly all issues resolved

Why does it have such a large file size? does it have gapps included ?

need more opinions
if you 've tried this sir ??
and what your opinion ?? any serious bug ??

Very smooth but bluetooth doesnt work for me.

Not yet, I'm travelling these days (3 more weeks). So I've to be on very much stable ROM, in which everything works all the time. That's why I'm running with Stock ROM.
Will give it a try after that.

After using if for a day. The ROM is pretty good. It works so smooth. The battery is amazing. I am sure it will 5-6 hrs of SOT I got 4 hrs and still have 40% remaining.
Camera is not so good. Its a bit dark and grainy. Tried Clash of Clans it didn't work. The phone doesn't heat that much. I didn't modify any CPU settings and still got such a good battery life. While installing initially it all Chinese and you have to change the language at welcome screen of the setup. The Music playback and video playback worked for a few hours but now when I try to play it works well in headphones but in speaker it just hangs and goes into BSOD. Then I have to reboot by long pressing. The animations are smooth and everything else works as for now
May the bugs be fixed in the next build If the bugs are resolved it hands down my favorite ROM..

COC and Boom Beach
Everything is working fine here (using nightly build MK51.1-ferrari-201510181717). But still can't play COC and Boom Beach

Can we use Omniswitch as recent apps list in Mokee rom?? and how??

tried this... it's a very good stable build.
annoying scroll animation - but can easily be disabled.
regular updates as well...

Need recommendation for KitKat rom

Hi,
Every KitKat Rom that I tried was affected by some kind of battery draining bug which has to do sth with Google Play services. Can you recommend a fix which works by doing it a single time? Uninstalling/stopping Google play services fixes the problem for a few hours only.
However, I would prefer a rom which is not affected By the bug out of the box.

I'm testing Racpu_ cm11s. Was having Google Play service wakelock, but learned somewhere on Oneplus forum about this: Install Disable Service from play store, switch to system tab, check SystemUpdateService. That somehow eliminates the wakelock. Today is 2nd cycle, 4hr screen on for youtube netflix under wifi, still rocking 48% of battery.

Cool, Ty, didn't know about this Bugfix,will try it. Why are you testing kitkat Roms in 2016?

Please tell me about your (major) findings about your research. How do you log and observe your the battery consumption? Which configs for sync, screen-of-gestures, brightness ?
I can share my findings also, if you want.

Sure. I wouldn't call mine "research" tho haha
Now I'm on slimsaber kk build, about the same SOT, feels slightly smoother than cm11s maybe.
Did my trick for the battery drain, but now Google Play services FC unless I set location to device only, oh well...opengapps btw.

Since I opened this thread, I am on Karbon kitkat which seems to be a fork of Slimxxxx
Fortunately, I did not get an always active bug until now, so I didn't try your Bugfix.
How much SoT do you get with your roms and which configuration.?
Most times I get 4 hours with the following config
- brightness static 50%
- sync, tapToWake and offscreen gestures off ( just in case...)
With following usage profile:
- no 3d
- no video (out of short clips)
- chrome, messenger, quora, Google news
- telephone 45min
- 75% WiFi, 25% 3G

With Racpu's cm11s and Slimsaber KK build, I didn't get to use the battery all the way to like 1%, but I already got 5hr SOT before that. Here are more details.
Racpu's:
- auto brightness
- youtube and netflix a lot, some xda and chrome, abou 30min phone call
- always on wifi
- greenify in exposed mode
Slimsaber KK:
- auto brightness
- 3hr LTE, rest on wifi
- about 2hrs of youtube and netflix
- 40min navigation with google maps
- a few camera shots
Don't think this is scientific enough, but hope it gives some idea on my usage.

YouTube, video in general does really really impact SOT measurements. You get about 1,5 to 1,8 times more, I measured it a lot. Navigation is the other extreme : 3d, GPS and most times a high brightness because you are outside (on daylight)

Ah OK, that seems right. I didn't do such detailed research
Now I'm leaning towards what most people say: Battery life depends on how you use the phone.
Also, I think OPO has an amazing developer community and all roms are of high quality and yet retain their own unique qualities like functions etc.

which is Best battery & speed rom/kernel

I'm looking for someway to get best battery backup with good screen on time without compromising phone speed (mainly for multitasking and app open times)
Thanks in advance

I've had good luck using the Smurf kernel with the battery spectrum profile on Havoc Oreo.
I'm going to upgrade to Havoc ? with Smurf's new ? kernel this weekend as the issue with screen off battery drain has supposedly been fixed.

According to Accubattery (awesome app BTW), I'm averaging about 10hrs (discharging 10%/hr) screen-on time and about 115hrs 35mins (discharging 0.9%/hr) screen-off time.

I should also mention that I use Greenify religiously. I also have it running as a privileged app (always root mode) via the Magisk module.

I can recommend Radioactive Kernel

Can't go wrong with any of them.
My personal experience says EX kernel, Blu(more battery focused), or Radioactive.
I use EX personally since I've had history with it before and trust it the most.

Fastest and more stable ROM?

If I'm looking for a lightweight and stable ROM that improves my battery life (this one is very important), which one is the best?
I don't care about extra features and customization. I just want stability, smooth experience and battery life.

No choice
Stock rom!

Lineage OS 16 night mode true black + magisk universal gsm doze module and L module in battery save mode + ex kernel manager and turn down one big cpu = 7, 8 SOT

Hilarious response

Official Lineage 17 is pretty good. Smooth and most importantly STABLE.
4h+ SOT from a full charge on (underclocked) ElementalX.

BlissRom for sure, 5h sot from full charge on stock kernel. Stable, ota updates and lots of features
If you have an european pixel, you need to flash the special kernel, otherwise no sound in calls

You don't need a guide, it's all in the ElementalX zip
Flash in TWRP and the installer will start automatically, there you can select the max frequencies for the little and big clusters.

Those estimations totally depend on usage, but in my experience it would last a day, with below 10% left at the end of the day. So the battery does not offer a usage time anything better than average.
