Root CM 7.0 Nightlies

[tfleming23]

Who is using these? What are the major issues with them?

Check CM's website for the changelog.

I'm using it. CM Nightly build #5 is up on the website. The major issues thus far are still the issues with GB not recognizing the input from the accelerometer, compass and light sensor.

 

[RaFF_MyZZteR]

I started using this earlier today. It's running great but as johnlgalt said, there are issues with the accelerometer, compass and light sensor.

Ultimate droid 3.0 (what I was running before) is having the same issues plus some random restarts.

Both roms are having issues with 3G going away after phone calls (at least from what I've noticed)

 

[hellrazer1976]

mostly works good as mentioned some hardware problems to be ironed out. I been playing with alt kernels p3 so far has been the best for 1100 over clock

CVPCS is now maintaining CM for the D1, expect good things soon.

 

[tfleming23]

Not sure if you guys have noticed this or not, but after I installed last night's nightly, I stopped having the 3G problem after phone calls. I am installing tonight's nightly now, but made sure to save last night's in case that comes back, that was definitely a winner.

Installed the new nightly. So far the nightlies have been good, outside of accelerometer, light sensor, and camcorder not working. Other than that, I've been having good luck with the GPS functionality, and navigation. So far, they've been my daily driver, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

You know, I'm not sure what happened, but I made a few calls last night before going to bed, and this morning I still have 3G (without any toggling). However, I'm still running UD3
When I have time tomorrow, I'll have to give one of these CM nightly's a shot. What kernel do they come with preloaded, and which are most of you guys running?

Someone posted on droid forums about the data problem being fixed with the new update.

Do you know if the CM7 file comes with the Google apps or is there a separate file?

They are on a seperate file, i got them both in a thread here, that had a post with the links in it.

is anyone having issues with screen rotation? Is that somehow related to accelerometer? Mine won't rotate unless I open the keyboard on any app that has a portrait mode.

Which CM rom are you running? Currently im running CM7.0.0 RC0 Droid KANG, and the only problem ive had is the keyboard lights not working. 3g data is working for me without having to do the airplane mode trick.

Video camera working yet?

 

[AutoShadow]

The camcorder doesn't appear to be working but the camera does.

 

[johnlgalt]

The CM Nightlies around build 6 started including a scripted workaround for the 3G being dropped after phone calls.

However, it has been noted that a few users just simply left their phones alone after making a call and the 3G automatically picked itself back up after a period of ~10 minutes or so. So, based upon this, if you make calls the night before and then check the next morning it is likely that you'll have service restored.

The script included is a workaround and not a true fix.

That being said, Jeffv2 has posted a new build that has the accelerometer fixed.

And I see in the forums below that Liquid is back in the game again, too....

 

[publicanimal]

I'm super impressed with the latest CM Nightly, tons of stuff working including accelerometer.

 

[Jeffery]

I have issues with the Music app. It keeps skipping/flashing and not allowing me to pick songs, artists, etc.

 

[johnlgalt]

I installed the Honeycomb Music app on CM7 and made it hte default music player. It had issues the very first time I ran it - but after a reboot it is worknig perfectly fine.

Here is the link from my MediaFire account - http://www.mediafire.com/file/k177hww548l8roe/Honeycomb-Music.apk

I'm currently running the latest CM7 nightly and it runs really smooth. The only downside so far is that sometimes you get random reboots/shutdowns, but other than that everything seems to be working. I haven't tried out the camcorder but the camera works, they also seem to have a pretty good 'fix' for the 3G connection after a phone call. Also, their accelerometer seems to be a lot more responsive now and the keyboard lights will come on depending on the light (in most cases).

 

[Liebensaft]

Yeah, I'm running on these now too, and happy as a clam. Seems a lot more complete than the other GB ROMs I've tried out.

 

[lbaxter]

Running build 18, downloading 19 right now...not had any issues but the camcorder with build 18. Accelerometer is responsive all the way around, kb lights work, 3G after calls works (though I read this is actually a script that is set to 'run' after a call ends...whatever, it's working). Snappy and good battery life (plays well with sapphire LV 7 slot 1Ghz kernel so far).

**Update**
Got build 19 up and running (still w/Sapphire kernel). Looks purty - Cyan-themed (color) battery, signal, & wifi icons in the notification bar, as well as app icons. Camcorder still a no-go.
