Root Gen1 to Gen2 this weekend - possibly!

[ElasticNinja]

Did you do this with yours Shadowninty? My battery barely lasts a day with moderate use (an hour or so of gaming, some forum browsing, a few phone calls to the misses etc).

Somebody at Modaco said:

Download libaudio.so

Push it to /system/lib

Then it should stop the drain. Use ES File explorer in root mode via settings and mount system as writable or push via ADB.

​

Is this what you meant? Would this need to be done each time a new Nightly is installed?

Yes to all!
You might be best staying on N104, or you could add the lib to your GAppps package!

N104 might be easier as I have no idea what a GAppps package is!

Another daft question:

How do I know what my partition size is? I updated to Gen2 using the TPT which installed CyanogenMod 7 Nightly 105 at the same time. It was listed here:

Gen1 to Gen2 TPT upgrade - Android @ MoDaCo

but it seems to have been removed now.

Is it easy to go from Gen2 to Gen2 with a different partition size?

Just wondered as I see the Blue Ginger V2 ROM needs a 136MB partition or more. Not sure if I'll try it but it got me thinking.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Your system partition should be 140MB, so it should be ok

CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution

The older nightlies don't seem to be available. D'oh!

 

[ElasticNinja]

What's wrong with that? Their servers are only so big.

Would the latest release candidate be better than Nightly 104?

update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Blade-signed.zip

Under the change log it says:

Revert "libaudio: Add missing GB function" (android_hardware_msm7k)

Fair do's. Didn't mean to sound like I was whining.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Its ok!
That libaudio revert is different I'm afraid :L
Its for some other thing that has no effect on battery

 

[Vorbis]

Ah righty. Cheers for the continued advice.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Its my pleasure mate

 

[Vorbis]

No it's my pleasure. Especially with the new avatar!

 

[ElasticNinja]

Well, it still needs some work with GIMP (I'm to poor for Photoshop)

I like the bit slightly lower than the middle.

 

[Vorbis]

Giggidy giggidy!

Ahem. Giving Nightly 104 a whirl anyway!

 

[Vorbis]

I see nightly 126 mentions updated kernal and libaudio for the ZTE Blade.

 

[ElasticNinja]

Yeah Ive been using them for a few days now and battery life seems better.

I try and follow this thread:

CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.4) is now GEN 2 ONLY! - Android @ MoDaCo

Some people suggest a full wipe. How is this done? In ClockworkMod Recovery I can see

wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

In advanced there is

Wipe Devik Cache
Wipe Battery Stats

Are all of the above necessary?

 

[ElasticNinja]

just the first one.
Ive been using CM since February and have only wiped once (In June), so I wouldnt be arsed, tbh

 

[Vorbis]

Danke! Giving 127 a bash.

Thanks for the info here guys. Thinking about taking the plunge from SSR5 on my Gen1 too. Though this phone needs to stay stable!
