Root condemned cm7

I don't know what the deal is but this forum takes forever to load on my phone! Is it just me or does everyone else have the same problem?

It's working fine for some and not for others. It's the same thing on unrooted phones too.

Prior to going on vacation in July I had been running GSB 2.9 where I was unable to download and install Maps 5.7, which I wanted for its ability to locally download maps.

So I upgraded to GSB 3.7 ODEX which combined with Maps 5.7 turned out to be a nightmare due to constant rebooting during navigation. I would have switched to a different ROM but read that these problems were common. (Downloading maps works great, though)

A few days ago i installed Maps 5.9 and have been running much more stably since then.

I will install a CS ROM next time since there will be no more GSB ones.

YMMV

FWIW, I have been running GSB 3.8 and the lastest maps since it came out. Last Wednesday I was using Maps - not to navigate, just to search around Portland, ME, when I was there for a visit - and had a spontaneous reboot. It looked like it was having problems with rotation (ie, switching from landscape to portrait.)

I'm also switching to CCM7 when it next updates, likely for good - I am due for an upgrade with the last "new every two" discount, but I'm going to wait patiently to see what the big, bad Apple comes out with in the next few weeks, as well as any new Android devices hitting in September.
 
It's been quiet... a little too quiet. Any word on an update, CS? I need my flashing fix.;) Also, is cm7 still in a feature freeze?

I've been trying to sync for an update now for a few days but it seems the aosp servers have been having issues. There is an update for this in the works just can't make any promises on a timeframe. Currently I'm trying to do a manual merge of things since i can't sync. I do hope to have it up by the weekend though especially with the bad hurricane we ate supposed to be getting. Could have the potential to really put a damper on me being able to do much for a little bit. Stay tuned though ;)

Good luck with Irene CS. I'm in Massachusetts, so she's heading this way too. Biggest danger here is the storm surge and I'm far enough inland that I shouldn't have to worry about that. I'm ready with the candles and flashlights. I lose power for every little thing that happens.

Where I live is almost in the middle of SC and we thought Hugo would never reach us. Well Hugo wiped my town completely out although it was never mentioned on the national news. I personally went without electricity for two weeks and our water was from a well. It took trailers and wiped them down to the frames and thru them across fields. There were thousands of people without homes. Churches gave away food and ice and water was shipped in on tractor trailers.

That sounds both scary and exciting at the same time! :eek:

The closest I've ever been to a hurricane was in Florida when a tropical storm came in that became a hurricane after it had passed us. It blew down trees and things but wasn't anything like you'd described. Of course, I'm sure it did do that kind of stuff once it became an actual hurricane.

Scary stuff. I hope everyone's okay when it's over.

Hugo was a Category 4 hurricane if I recall correctly. Nothing is that strong by the time it gets this far north. The cold water off the coast here weakens the storm.

The storm surge is always the biggest danger up here, but I'm too far from the coast to worry about it. I'm not in an area that is prone to flooding. Tree branches could cause some problems. I do expect to lose power for a period of time. We're on town water, so I don't have to worry about the pump for a well being out. My stove is gas. I have plenty of candles and a flashlight that can be cranked to charge up. For the most part, my storm "preparations" included going to the liquor store to stock up on wine and vodka.

They're saying cat 1 when it gets to us now but still high winds, 10"+ rain and 7-10 feet storm surge. On top of already wet and partially flooded ground. I'm sure we will lose power and lots of trees and I have a well. No city water for me Lol. Plenty of rum, whiskey, tequila and other goodies though. Even got a perculator I can stick on the grill for my all important coffee ;) lol. Oh... Candles and flashlights and batteries for the toys too ;) Lmao

Update should be ready sometime tonight BTW :D
 
What kinds of tweaks? I'm trying to determine whether it makes sense for me to upgrade, if it requires a full wipe. Is it worth it?

I can't link right now because I'm on my phone but there's a thread on xda for dialer lag fix. I've used a portion of that and merged a few other things for better memory management as well as speed and changed WiFi scan intervals.....alot. I think its about as fast now as running the supercharger scripts that some people use without the need for the script. If you want to hold off and wait for feedback that's understandable if you're happy with v17. Otherwise you could do a nand and try it out. Entirely up to you.

It's hard to resist those kinds of improvements! :)
 
I would be grateful to hear about which version(s) of Google Maps/Navigation operate stably with Condemned CM7 V18. And if it's an older version of Maps, any info on how to load this file (e.g., a link to an APK file) would be much appreciated.

The version included is 5.2 which is confirmed stable. The new one in market has been touch and go. Good for some bad for others. Personally I had no issues with the new one. If you have issues just uninstall update through market to go back to 5.2
 
Running 18 S2H, just installed. I'm changing things up a bit and loaded about a third of the apps that I used to have installed before - my new policy is install an app I have used in the last week, or which has data I can't get in the browser.

So much better!
