Root [ROM][Beta][FINAL] CM7 Android For Triumph [Tickerguy Edition, Kernel: mine] 11/19

Switching back to CM7 today from MIUI... I mean haptic feedback, HDMI almost working, and an OC kernel posted for the new builds. I say YES and THANK YOU TG, Isaac, and Mantera for these beautiful things you have posted for us!!!!!

edit: on another note. i'm currently using the ICS keyboard posted on XDA which can be found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329759

I found that you should first have a secondary keyboard installed other than the stock GB keyboard that comes with CM7, and other than the ICS one i have posted because once you do one of the steps i'm going to put on here if you don't then you will not be able to edit the LatinIME_2.apk to what it needs to be...

follow the directions on XDA, but while following do this. before anything go into your system/app folder and rename LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk1

then put the LatinIME_2.apk into your system/app folder

now rename LatinIME_2.apk to LatinIME.apk like i said before since there is technically no keyboard because of the renaming of the first one to .apk1 then you'll need a new keyboard to do this... like i said.

now go into the permissions and set all the "read" checkmarks, and only the very first one in "write"

now reboot and you should now have the ICS keyboard installed. works great on my phone.

just uninstall any other keyboard you had to use to edit the apk file name and choose the "android keyboard" in settings ----> language and input setting.
 
I've been following this thread for a long time now (and read every single post), but yesterday I finally made the switch! It probably took me an hour to transition (including DLing all my apps and setting all my prefs again), but I had no issues, and this ROM is wonderful! The increased performance is awesome, and I've already noticed the greatly improved battery life. I'll miss the HDMI a little, though I've only actually made use of it once :)

So thank you Tickerguy and Isaac for all your efforts!

Thank you Tickerguy for all of your efforts.

I can't speak for anyone else, but do you think you would have time to complete the rom to the point of being picked up by the official CM7 team if the community stepped in and paid for your VM plan and phone? I can take care of the monthly plan for a couple months if the community can step in and pay for your phone.

I assume you're going to sell your Triumph. I figure you could get at least $200 out of it. So if we raised $200 to pay for your phone, and I picked up your VM fees, could you stick around and continue development?

The amount money I've saved over the past 2 months with my Triumph and VM compared to a similar Sprint phone/plan would basically be the difference in paying for your plan for a few months.

already made the same offer a page or two ago, I am in, either way
thanks Ticker
 
Hi,

I installed B.06 few days ago, upgrading from stock. So far I am liking it. Like the various little tweaks that are built in, so I don't have to rely on standalone apps/widgets to do the job. Thank Isaac and Tingerguy a lot for the great work!

I notice that maybe once or twice a day, the phone would not respond to anything, and then shows the CM7 boot logo, and then after a few seconds comes back alive. Is that a reboot? I think it's much faster than an actual reboot, but I don't know what it is doing...

The other things I see is:

1. The volume bug (appears in stock as well) is there. That is, when I am on headset listening to music, and then a notification comes, the media volume would go down. Anyone know how to fix that?

2. The headset volume, even at level 1, is too loud (well, when I am going to sleep). Is there anyway to tweak that?

Thank you!
 
Anyone else having an issue with not being able to set Google Voice as the default dialer? Am on the 11/6 build and can no longer set GV as the default dialer. I checked the GV Settings to make sure that it's set to be the default dialer and nothing! Any ideas? This is a deal breaker for me, thanks!

Works here, Did you reflash gapps?
 
I just uninstalled GV, rebooted, then reinstalled and made sure that it was enabled to make all calls from the GV menu and it still will not show up as an option when making a call! :-/

Did you check the settings? Menu, more, settings, making calls
 
Works like a charm.

I just switched from Miui for the same reasons. Will probably go back if and when the same amount of progress has been made. Has been my daily for over a week and I love it but wanted to give the ICS CM7 theme a shot and with the OC kernel it seemed to be perfect timing. The CM7 theme did not work out so well as most of my notifications had been blacked out and a few other bugs the app warned about after installing. So I went with the free launcher recommended by Life Rocks and shelled out the $1.50 for the combined free launcher and theme, guessing the theme is what I had paid for considering the launcher by itself is free. Anyhow after installing I appeared to have ICS everything except keyboard and notifications. Just installed the keyboard via bing7625’s instructions so now I only hope the theme I downloaded will update with ICS notifications pull down and all will be good.

You will need to change the icon settings in the launcher as for some reason ics icons are not the default. I bring this up because most of the market reviews made comments of uninstalling because their icons did not change.
 
Another question, the music player, when launched from the browser or file manager, won't multitask. E.g. if i click a mp3 file within a browser, the music player would pay the mp3. But once I exit the browser (e.g. click home), the music would stop.

The behavior on the stock rom is different, the music would continue to play, any idea or suggestion?

Thanks!

you won't get a prompt if you have it set to always use. it just says it is at the top.

try putting it on "always ask"

Just tried it, still not working. I can make calls from within GV and it will bring up the dialer app and make the call without a problem which is weird.
 
Hey! I've stalked this thread a very long time and read every single post. I've searched around other forums a bit also and have a few ?s If you can't tell from the screen name ... 1st time messing with a phone, 1st smartphone in fact. Had to return 3 before I got a good one and have had it for 5 months or so. I came from a cricket flip phone:o. I'm actually happy with stock (don't know any better) and amazed I can surf internet and watch video ON A PHONE! Can't wait to see what CM7 has to offer to make it better. O ya, I'm lucky and was grandfathered into the $25/mo :D. OK on to the ?s.

1. Just to be sure: I don't need to gingerbreak or similar (I think CM7 does it)?

2. I got CWM 5.0.2.3 from OP pg.1 and have a NANDROID backup. How can I save it to my comp? Don't trust my only backup on my phone which could brick/blowup.

3. I saw Minus's Vids (thx by the way) but how do I get the gapps and cm7 onto the phone so I can flash them from CWM? (Maybe include this in vids Minus) I'm just a bit scared messing with my pricey new toy.

4. We need to flash gapps b/c it gives us the market and can't install anything w/o it right? why do we have to flash gtalk? Can't we get it from the market after booting into CM7?

5. Titanium backup: this will let me restore my settings and apps after I move from Stock to CM7? Or do I have to re-download all my apps? Or is there something else?

6. @ Ticker (and other smart ones), are you using anything for protection or to optimize performance...(on the phone I mean:o) like juicedefender anti virus or anything or is CM7 good to go as is?

HUGE thx @ Ticker, Isaac, Minus n I know I'm missing some but thx everyone. Can't wait! I'm heading to dinner, charging my phone and when I'm back hopefully w/ ya'lls help I can wrap this cm7 install up tonight! Thanks for the hand holding.

Question 1: Some have said Triumph comes rooted out of the box, but I downloaded Gingerbreak to root the Triumph. VERY simple process. You must enable the checkbox to allow "Unknown Sources" in the application settings to be able to install this. Someone else may have a better answer on this one??

Question 2: If you made a back up with CWM, the dated backup file is on your SD Card under the "Clockworkmod" directory. Simply mount your phone to your pc and copy the file from you SD Card onto your computer. Or if you have a microSD adapter use that and just copy the backup file over.

Question 3: To get the ZIP files onto your phone so that you can flash them with CWM, you just need to save the file to your SD Card. Either save them on your pc and transfer them to your SD Card or use your phones web browser to download the file and save it that way. Just be sure you know exactly where the file is so that you can navigate to it once your in CWM. I personally have a folder on my SD Card named "ZIP Installs" and that way when CWM asks me to select update to install I can navigate to that directory and easily find the downloaded zip file.

Question 4: You don't technically have to flash Gtalk unless you want to. Not sure if it's available on Market.. I have never used Gtalk. Many have and will be able to answer this one better.

Question 5: Titanium backup has been a lifesaver for me. The only thing you will need to do, is go to Market and download Titanium Backup. Once you reinstall it, it is instantly able to detect your Titanium Backups on your SD card and it will restore all of your free and paid apps including the apps data onto your phone. If you have backed up settings, it can restore these as well. I had no problem recovering stock backups onto the CM7 ROM. Titanium Backup has saved me hours of time when flashing new ROMS or performing full factory resets.
 
And yes, Minus5252's videos are excellent. He has a fantastic YouTube channel. I find it to be extremely helpful as a valuable resource.

Thanks Minus! :)
