Root CyanogenMod 7 Unofficial Beta 5 02/20/12

yo hroark i found out why settings are not saving. it has something to do with the wifi. i noticed when i rebooted the phone with wifi on the settings on the phone would not stick. If i rebooted the phone on 3g then everything works fine.
And i encountered another problem when i try to back up in cwm it says error while making a backup image. Any suggestions?

is the setting not being saved regardless of S2E or is it the combo of S2E and Wifi being on


when back fails. which partition is it failing on

Q1 i think the problem starts when u install and run a2sd or s2e when you reboot the settings dont work
Q2 i had just removed s2e did a factory reset did a backup and everything worked fine. installed s2e ran then rebooted. backup takes forever, hangs on sd ext for like 5 mins then it says error while making a backup image of sd-ext

how big is your sd-ext and how much space is being used on it?
 
can you try this init.d script for mounting an ext4 sd-ext partition

and see if you are having same issues with s2e and wifi

do not use the mount ext4 option in S2E


Install in CWM
mountext.zip



this is the new script I only added the nodev option

Code: 
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# mount ext partition from sd card
BB="logwrapper busybox";
$BB mount -o nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1 -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext
$BB chown 1000:1000 /sd-ext
$BB chmod 771 /sd-ext

is that the card or sd-ext partition

what I am asking is how big is your sd-ext partition

and how did you make it

if your sd-ext partition is 8GB that is too big

i dont make it any bigger than 1GB
 
Guys im having problems with my wifi. Before it used to disconnect alot because it was set to disconnect when screen off but it also did it with screen on. Now i set it to never disconnect and now it wont connect to my wifi at all. My wifi is working, im posting this from my tablet connected to my wifi

nvm
This was fixed by a simple reboot. How weird tho, all i did was set my wifi to never sleep

So your 3G is slow
GPS is not accurate
Your SD Card is not working, mainly the sd-ext with S2E or CWM
and now your WiFI is not woring

Are you still fresh from install or did you install any mods/scripts or apps that change the way the phone operates


I dont know man, does your phone work normally on other ROMS

It seems that every step we take foward we get knocked back 3 steps and we are not making progress.

I am starting to lose my desire to work on this thing.


I have a hard time telling what is causing these problems, if it is a problem with the ROM itself or with something that someone has added or installed.


If anyone brings up any new issues I want you to list what your configuration is, and what process you went threw to install the ROM and hot fixes


If you are installing 3G and RAM optimizing scripts, or apps that change the way the phone works, then your are not testing the ROM, you are testing your MODS

As far as external storage, yes we need a solution I prefer S2E but if it is causing issues we need to use something else. We need to get the process down for how to create the partition, what size it should be, and how the app can be configured. But I wanted this thread to be about fixing CM and not external storage.

Most of the posts in this thread are about things added to the ROM and not fixing the ROM itself.

Being that your are testing a beta, you should be giving your current config, If your current config has not changed since the last time you posted it, just point to the post that lists it. You should also be explaining how I can reproduce this issue on my phone.

Okay update on things from my phone.
Gps is working correctly, its as good as the stock rom.
My sd card wont work with s2e, a2sd, link2sd, or any of these. Might be my sd card or the phone, but i dont blame your rom and could live with out this
Wifi acted weird for a bit but not righ know. Idk y
3g speeds probably caused by the coverage in my area. I do live in the chicago land area with a ton of people switching over to boost.
Only mods i got now are v6 supercharger and kickass kernilizer.

I got problems with my setup, but most likely caused by how i set it up. This rom is amazing, especially v35hf2, and wouldnt trade for any other. Thank you hroark and all the other devs. You guys are really doing a good job

i can understand your frustration here are my specs
cm7.1.0 v3.5 hf2
with cleaned init

for users that cannot get s2e to work why don't you just use the application moving/install location feature in cm7 settings

I agree with you that a lot of us are posting our problems with our mods and we should maybe split testing into two threads if possible. One for the rom itself, probably this one, and new one for mods and apps. The thing is we dont have another centralized place to put our problems with tweaks and apps so we have been doing everything here.

What all the devs, especially you hroark, have been doing with this rom is a huge help. I use my phone for a ton of things and with the stock things it was extremely slow and almost useless, but this rom gave new light to my phone. I really appreciate all this.
