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

wifi tether worked fine for my laptop, but now I am using my android pad which didn't see my phone before (ad-hoc) so confirmed TG. YOU ROCK

I mean native ("Wifi Hotspot") with the kernel taking care of it properly. Infrastructure mode and all. Try it and let me know if it works; I get connected on my laptop but can't go anywhere as my service is off since I ported.

Big thanks to you Tickerguy....I downloaded the latest .8 beta to my phone, backed up .7, wiped cache and Dalvik cache only and installed the Rom. As has happened to me earlier in these non full wipe updates of my choosing, I had to reinstall Youtube from titanium backup as well as MY Virgin Acc't app but that is all. Market without being flashed came up in record time and everything seems great.
My micro usb port on the phone is going and I read it is a weak link in the quality of the phone. I may send it to someone who can professionally solder or replace it better than new or I'll just see if I can RMA it to either Motorola or Virgin.
I had tethering working a beta or two back with an install of a couple of third party apps. Now my usb port is too fritzy to maintain a connection without me holding the phone and usb cord a certain way so sorry I can't test as a hot spot it but it appears to work... I got a 3rd party charger and batteries from China and I'm very happy with the batteries so I don't need to usb charge the phone. I can go with the phone this way for a little while until I reseach or hear about my repair or replace options....I got the phone in July right after I saw Isaac and Tickerguy sign on to get this thing updated and
glad I did.
Thanks Again Tickerguy! Awesome work!!!!

This is a sad final update in my honest opinion. I needed HDMI working for something coming up, now I'll have to go back to stock.

Plus, Wifi tethering has been working fine for me in 0.7 so I don't see this as an update at all.

The OP has been consistently clear about risks with the nature of this rom.

More importantly, you might at least be thankful that someone took the time and made the effort to give so much for free.

Hey Isaac how do I go about pushing this to the device? I'm really confused lol

Any way you can explain how to put this on my device? Greatly appreciated. I was looking through the phones directory and got so confused. I applied the front facing cam xml file via es file explorer, changed it to rw-r-r and booted into recovery to fix permissions and still haven't seen the join hangout button in Google+. What exactly should I be doing from your page?

@mantera that is how gingerbread is designed. tickerguy has nothing to do with it. I guess that ks why we need ICS to fix such usability quirks ;-)

btw @mantera and @haro138 have you at any point in time changed your computer's MTU? Mine simply remains in limited access mode :-(

I have not changed the MTU on my computer ever.

But with Barnacle it opens Google sites pretty well.

I was just stating that it was an odd behavior. The main thing is that it works! :)

As for changing the MTU, no. I was tethering on my wife's Xoom and didn't change anything from stock on there.
 
@tickerguy thanks so I'm assuming there are no final usability tweaks to the mod other than wifi tethering? (I imagine VM will be busting heads about this in the near future anyhow)
@Isaac (or anyone) is there a plan on porting ICS (really happy with the mod as is but new is always good, no?)
I cant code my way out of a wet paper-bag of bits so I appreciate all the hard brain work everyone's doing on our behalf!
:cool:
 
Very nice final! I love having a native hotspot instead of using an app. Having infrastructure mode is so much better as well. Is it possible to have a tethering toggle in the notification power widget buttons? It would be cool to just scroll the notification bar down and click on a button to start a hotspot/usb tether.

The WIFI tethering was Isaac's work. =] Though TG and Isaac do/have worked together. I think both of them are excellent but I have to give due where necessary.

I think Isaac said he can't wait for Cm9! Quite frankly neither can I! >_> LOL

It is in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widget > Widget Buttons ---- Toggle Wifi AP
 
Yep - Isaac fixed the tethering originally and when I noted it I pulled his work into my repos; our code bases have somewhat diverged. The primary place it matters is in the device folder; the rest of the code between his stuff and mine is probably interchangeable.

now that the final beta is out is anyone going to pick this up and keep developing it or do we need to move onto another rom?

It is a really solid ROM, why would you need to move on? I have so many fewer issues with this than I did with the stock OS.

Also, the source code is available to anyone who wants to work on it.
 
I dont understand the current ongoing theme I see in mobile phone communities..where people flash a new rom and all of a sudden..the stock rom was just hideous and unbearable to them!! I think this is the placebo effect really..I had ZERO issues with the stock rom so its amusing to me :)...now when I had the intercept..that was a crap stock rom lol..but this phone is so fast i just dont get it when ppl claim the stock rom is junk!

I hated stock on the Triumph...
1. I hated froyo
2. I hate the stock not bar - beyond ugly. Complete theming without the use of MIUI or theme chooser for CM7 is hard work that doesn't allow for quick changeups. I like a pretty phone...sue me
3. The GPS on my phone is not operational without the hard work isaac and/or ticker put into the fixes found on Cm7 and MIUI
4. My phone is faster on these alt ROMs
5. People like what they like. They also get excited when devs bend over backward to put a hell of a lot of work into these 'new' ROMS - which have features not found in stock, obviously

Well, I never said it was crap, I stated that I have less issues with CM7 than I did with stock. For instance my GPS works better, it wasn't as bad as some people have mentioned it was on stock, but it is much better with CM7. You can also do a wifi hotspot without downloading a 3rd party app with CM7 now, which is really nice. I also appreciate the notification bar power widgets a lot. I understand you can do many of the exact same things with stock, but I like the way CM7 does it better. I like the theme chooser application that CM7 has. I can go through and edit the .apk's for a lot of stuff to get similar results, but CM7 just makes it easier. I flash back to stock to use HDMI out every once in a while, and it is good. I just don't feel it is AS good for my personal tastes.

Also this, and the pulldown menu is much prettier in stock CM7 than stock froyo.

I never disliked the stock ROM. I don't even think it's ugly. Yeah, it's true the stock ROM works, but shouldn't it? Motorola/FIH/Huawei whoever spent time and money to make sure everything was "production" quality.

People, such as myself, are using 2.3 because there's features you can't use in 2.2. A really good example of this is FFC video calling (with either Skype or Google Talk). It's kind of stupid to put a FFC on a phone and then sell it with only 2.2 (a version that can't even take full advantage of the feature).

I was thinking of giving MIUI a try, any sage advice (other than do a nandroid)before I do?
whats the state of it ? is it feature comparable to CM7
