I'll reflash in a min and check the different maps and youtube versions...but does anyone know how to enable haptic feedback on soft keys? No matter what settings i try, it doesn't work.
This is a great rom, that gives me the most battery life out of all mods i tried so far, i just hope i can get these bugs with google apps and haptic feedback worked out somehow, then it'll be perfect.

I had it working fine on b4, cant seem to get it going on 5 however.

Is anyone familiar with a bug that makes the phone randomly think its charging? I can't seem to track down anyone who's encountered this and and discovered a solution.
I was running beta 4 when this started to occur, but am now on beta 5. I have now tweaks of any kind although I did put a few items back from the removed apps zip but somehow I doubt that would make a difference.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

OK
I think I was able to fix the Maps issues, in a similar way psyke83 did his
I compiled a new kernel zImage with a patched kr3dm_accel_driver.c
I made 2 versions one that mounts the external sd-ext as data
mapfixkrnl-ext.zip
and one that mounts the internal stl13 as data
mapfixkrnl-no-ext.zip
can some people test these new kernels with the new version of Google Maps and report back what they find
thanks

Downloading now . Thx
Running DATA2EXT
UPDATE:
Seems to be working great . No lag what so ever on pinpointing position .
I am running the older Maps version that you provided earlier . Going to test the updated version now .
UPDATE:
New version of Maps seems to be working properly . No lag or freezing noticed . I'll test it further today . Good job Mr.Roark .

youtube 2.3.4 that was posted in this thread and maps 5.8.0 work perfectly on my phone without any flashing, just installed them regularly as user apps.
I cannot, for the life of me figure out that ringer bug i mentioned earlier. Doesn't matter what i do, turn all volumes down, put the phone on silent, put ringer as silent, deleted ALL media files i could find in /system/media and sdcard, that thing still rings once upon incoming call!!
I reflashed, even installed another mod, wiped many times over, then reflashed again, same result.
basically no matter my sound settings(vibrate,silent,etc..) phone rings once on incoming call with that distinct ringer sound(sounds like basic high pitched ringer sound). if ring volume is up then it rings once,then starts the ringtone i picked.
is there another directory with media files i can look at?? Ive searched everywhere, it seems like its hardcoded into the rom. would not be that big of a deal if it didnt ring when silenced...i have to turn my phone off to have it completely quiet.

I can confirm that the newest version of Google Maps is working on the mapfix-ext kernel.

Have you thought about using Odin and starting from scratch with the rooted version of Gingerbread? It actually wouldn't take that long at all to go that route. That would be an easy way to fix anything that may have been corrupted .
How can i COMPLETELY wipe the phone storage before flashing the rom?
I got a feeling it may be some leftovers from some rom i tried that's messing me up.
i always make sure to wipe everything including sdcard through cwm before and after installing anything, but maybe there's something still left over.

Use Odin and load the EJ06 image and then install beta 5, and then my latest beta 5 map fix no-ext kernel
do not install anything else or change any settings
and then test it and post results

Overall, the newest sd-ext kernel with Maps fixed is running better than ever.
No big deal and I am not sure where to point fingers, but I do notice that with the sd-ext kernels in general there is always a little lag at first. Then it goes away. This may be the nature of the Beast.
After Boot when the Lock Screen appears, I find that if I wait a little less than a minute to unlock the screen I have no problems at all. This is not at all a problem for me.
I use ADW EX, one Home Screen page with Two Widgets. Fancy Widgets Weather and Calengoo Agenda. Dock scrolls Three Sets of Five apps. Fancy Widgets Weather Hotspots all load apps.
I keep all automatic sync at boot options turned off and most of the time sync apps manually. I use the email app for gmail and Yahoo.
I get notifications from Tapatalk and FriendCaster Pro. Plus numerous SMS alerts from Handcent.
I move as many crucial BIG apps as possible to System, even though I use the sd-ext kernel.
I clear Dalvik Cache periodically using Root Explorer.
I always do a CWM Backup before making any configuration change. I also police my backups and only keep the major ones, deleting the unneeded ones with Root Explorer
16GB Class 10 with 1GB sd-ext. I assume that Beta 5 sets SD cache at 2048
I use Performance Governor with 32MB heap size.
No scripts except whatever comes with Beta 5.
I use Basic White for CM7 from Theme Chooser.
Any recommended Tweaks?

I have noticed this since I flashed beta 5, even after going back to 4 my phone still has this "feature". Honestly I don't mind it personally, however my wife does seem bothered by it at times.
Happens exactly the same way on my phone as well.abrahamramirez

So if I want a true clean install I have to odin back to stock then flash rom? I've been jumping back and forth between roms and I haven't been getting as good results as everyone

Formating system, data, cache, and sd-ext wouldnt do?

I had the same problem, i changed this line in the build prop
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
To
dalvik.vm.heapsize=23m
(don't ask, 23 just seems to be the number, lol)
And changed
/system/xbin/echo "2048"
To
/system/xbin/echo "1024"
In /system/etc/init.d/10sdcache
Fixed it right up, for me at least (ymmv)
Oh, i also have 66Citbun, but i took out the lines that conflict with Hroarks ram script... (And also made sure 66Citbun had a lower # than Hroarks ram script, so his gets the final say)

Odin overwrite almost all partitions if you flash all 3 tar files
When you install CM7, 3 partitions get formatted

Good day everyone. I have been lurking for a while, and enjoying the fruits of your labor. I must say, you who are responsible for CM7b5 deserve a round for your efforts. I initially started using CM7b3.5 and happened across b5 a couple of weeks ago while out in the field. I've been playing around with the kernels, but haven't been able to get one working correctly for me.
As it stands, I'm currently using the CM7b5 ROM from the first page and no matter which way I cut it, when I attempt to use one of the newer kernels, I end up with much the same problems as ***a previous poster***. After flashing any of the kernels with CWM, the phone process FCs and restarts the launcher when an app is installed. I'd typically make it through the download, and once the installation starts, the launcher restarts and goes back to the CM7 boot screen. Once I'd log back in, there would be an FC for the phone process. More often than not, it's just the phone process, at times, other Google process would FC with it (Gmail, Voice, Talk, etc.).
I have since completely wiped, repartitioned, and formatted everything, and am running CM7b5 with no issues thus far. When I'm out of the field, I'll be stocking my phone and re-flashing CM7b5 to try one of the kernels again. I can't offer much in the way of troubleshooting out here. I have plenty of computing power at my disposal, however, none of these systems can be configured for what I'd like to do, without repercussions that is.
Again, thanks to all responsible for the awesome package you've put together with CM7b5.
