Root CM7 problems

[RandyRucker]

I've been running Bamf forever 1.10 for a bit now and think its a good rom. I wanted to put some love on these Aosp roms so I flashed CM7. I have multiple problems with it and I hope someone can help be with the most annoying ones. First one- a flashing triangle in the notification area. No idea what this means. Second one - can't get 4g to work and I can't find anything in settings that would toggle it off. Third one - GPS will not fix a location in the weather app, it seems to work ok in the navigation app. Fourth one - no voice search option in google maps to input addresses, must be missing something to download here. I'll stop here cause I don't want to overload anyone with more of my issues. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does the triangle look like the one on the image below?

If so you are roaming. This would also explain the lack of 4G.

As for GPS you will more than likely need to do the AOSP GPS fix. But lets try to get your signal working first.

I can't help with the voice input as I don't use it. I think you need to download the libs from the market but I haven't been able to get it to work on my phone running a CM7 based rom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you on the OTA radio? If not I suggest flashing it.

Also you may want to try flashing CM7 again with a full wipe, this includes /data, cache, dalvik, and /system

Try those to see if it will fix the signal flashing triangle issue.

You are right about the triangle. The network mode was set to EvDo only. I guess it thought it was roaming and would only give me 3G. I went in and set the network mode to CDMA+LTE/EvDo Auto and got 4G up right away. I don't know why the CM7 network mode was defaulted to that.

I got the voice prompt to work by downloading the google voice plug in.

Where can I find out about the Aosp GPS fix?

Glad you to that working. The GPS fix is pretty easy. Boot into recovery, make a backup, flash or restore a sense rom, boot and get a gps fix with maps then boot into recovery again and restore your CM backup

^^^^This is why I love androidfourms/phandroid!! Most other sites Randy would have gotten flamed for something that has been asked a million times (in reference to the GPS fix). There are casual android fans who only come to forums for help.

I agree. This is the most helpful forum I have ever seen. I just bought a kindle fire. I hope some of you guys go to that forum when it comes time for some rooting and romifiying.

I will be there if I end up getting a kindle fire, still trying to work out my budget to pay for a new phone and a tablet, the new phone is more important however.
