Root Anybody running CM7 source?

Anyone else having an issue with wifi? My router is always out of range, even if im right next to it.

This has been persistant with many builds, and i also updated radio and did *228

I was not having Wifi issues until #46. #47 was worse. I flashed back to #45 and it seems to work for me. I'd try all the builds that are up there and see which one works for you. Different builds seem to run better on some devices. If your wifi network is hidden, change that. It should make it a little better(from what I have read).
 
I tried the AdFree apk, but I cant get it moved to system/app

I am very new to the root world and I have no idea how to do adb mount.

Otherwise, I love this ROM. Camcorder still not working for me but I can live with that for now since everything else rocks.
 
the cam should be fixed by the next build according to xda which if the time line is right should be out sometime tonight and the next build about 5 to 7 hours after that one but the cam should be fixed tonight :D
 
I am looking forward to the next build. I figured we would not get one today with all the BS gridlock was dealing with(broken Mytouch).

Looks like he got it resolved.

Can anyone walk me through how to do adb mount? Is it something I do from my phone or my computer?

I got the AdFree moved but dont know what to do from there.
 
It has been forever since I have done it. go into CMD prompt.
cd\
cd sdk
cd tools
adb shell

Should be mounted at that point. Assuming you have the SDK tools installed to your C drive and have HTC sync. Then you just follow their instructions. I would do it myself and run you through it, but I am on my wife's macbook this evening and I hate this POS OS.

Been forever since I did it too but do you have to include the full path each time?
cd\sdk\tools

I'm not by my pc right now and it's been awhile since I've used sdk. I'm probably wrong.

Thanks man. I get to adb shell and I have the file in the right place but no idea how to install from here.

Stinks to be a newbie but AdFree isnt needed.

Should not need to. You are just accessing each file. this is all predicated on having the SDK files in the root of your C drive. I have all that on my PC from when I rooted the old fashioned way.
One could probably push the APK to the phone through Terminal emulator or via Root Explorer(paid app)

That's exactly what I figured but for some reason it's not working with RE. At least everyone I've heard has failed. Another thought though...do you want shell for a push command? I was thinking once at tools, skip shell and

adb push filename.apk /system/app/

Probably wrong again though. Maybe I should STFU. :D

Well between the two of us we might get him there. :D I can't believe how rusty my ADB has got since the invention of Root Explorer. I failed like the others when trying it though. Pasting the app there isn't cutting it for some reason. Seems like you gotta use ADB in this case.

DONT STFU... you hit it!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!
 
A few weeks ago I was afraid to root.

Now I flash CM7 nightly, use the circle battery, use a modded flash and hulu app.

I am still ignorant as heck about many things, so I thanky ou both for your efforts in helping me with this!!!! I am now AdFree again.

Change me to us. :D

Now I'm trying to get Hulu working. I've never had success before so this should be interesting. Installed both hulu and mod flash from Rom Manager and been on splash screen now for about 4 minutes. Could be the first sign of badness. lol.
