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

Attic - there may not be. This appears to be yet another one of the fun "features" of this phone where you need to poke registers to turn things on and off (e.g. the GPS LNA) and fortunately there was a reference to that in the source for the kernel that I was able to find.

I have ZERO belief that such a reference will be found for the Wifi side of things, as that's all in the libra.ko loadable and we have NO source for it. I also have good reason to believe the same issue exists in the wifi module as other libra.ko files, which should work (same hardware) don't, and some throw errors strongly implying that the power is off to parts of the wifi chipset.

There's certain things that are kinda hard without source but you can find pieces of what you need and then there are things that are just a real BITCH. The Wifi driver is a major problem and among other things is likely to preclude the hotspot working too.
 
well, I took the plunge once TickerGuy got the gps working. All I can say is WOW! very nice. the whole install went so smooth exactly as described. gps works exactly as before cold lock within 30 seconds and instant afterwards. have not as yet experienced any bugs that have not been answered in this thread. I could probably use this build until the rest of the issues are worked out. Thanks TickerGuy.
 
if going back to my stock nandroid backup. should i do a cache/dalvik cache wipe then format my system then restore the nandroid? im using isaacj87's latest build and i love the overclocking ability on it i just want gps to work... but i know that once the next build on here comes out with ext4 enabled we will hopefully get a link up for just the OC kernel from isaacj87's build that way the option will be there so someone (like me :-) ) who doesn't have one of the oddball phones, or the oddball oddball phones, can use it at their own risk, and i gladly will!

as it is this is what my phone looks like right now.

IT'S AWESOME THAT I SET MY LOCATION TO NOWHERE AND I TOOK THE SNAP RIGHT AT 12:00AM LOL PERFECTION!

one other question. does this build need the GAPPS zip file to complete google apps installation? or is it prebuilt into the install package?

That's a shame. Is it possible to get the chip maker to release the source? Maybe if we all email and ask for it? I really want to use this rom and I hate that something as little as wifi is keeping me from using it.
 
Hahahaha... yeah, good luck with that. Foxconn would be the folks you need to talk to. If you can bribe some Chinese guy that might work, otherwise, probably not.

If you're plugged in on USB setting the phone to not sleep is trivial, incidentally, which keeps the Wifi up as the screen's on. That's how I have mine set so when it's plugged at my desk it's "on"
 
Haven't tried the new rom yet. I'll try it when it is officially Alpha (probably the next build). Two quick questions:

1. Does it have built-in support for corded (USB) tethering?
2. When the phone tries to connect to a WiFi router, is WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) an option?

Well Ticker, I don't know if this will help but...

The Thunderbolt's Gingerbread Update was leaked today, and as far as I know, the specs. (I think its the same Qualcomm Chipset too) are nearly identical to the MT.


http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...build-2-11-605-2-ruu-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/

I believe there was a leak before, but this one seems to be one of the final builds.

Maybe that ROM can provide information as how to get the Sleep WiFi or the A-GPS working on the MT?

I don't know if that would be of any help, just putting it out there.

Thanks for all the work you've done Tinker!
 
Well... damn...


Pity.


What is keeping you from getting the Haptic Feedback to work?

Or is there no Documentation on that either?


Pretty much the only thing keeping me now from making it my permanent rom.

Thanks

You have a nearly fully-functional 2.3 ROM and haptic feedback is thing holding you back? This is Android 2.3.5 (soon to be 2.3.7, I'm assuming). The latest version with all the security fixes, speed tweaks, and features... A version even Motorola hasn't given us.

To each his own, I suppose.
 
Isaac I love your honesty and realism lol perhaps some one could shed some light... How would we go about using the oc kernel Isaac had in his ROM and still tether!?!? I can't seem to clamp at the moment
 
One question guys, i installed the umph kernel on my stock rom, and when i flashed the previous cm7 build, i could still set the processor up to 1.9 with setcpu, but this latest build it sent it back to only 1024mhz, did i do something wrong?? I formatted the system and installed this build like it said in the instructions

Don't get me wrong, its a GREAT rom!

Its just that I have had issues with the touch buttons...

On stock whenever they stopped working (almost always the god forsaken back button) Haptic touch would not activate, and I could notice whether it registered or not. (They stop working for 10-20 secs.)

On CM7 I don't have that, and I end up exiting of whatever I was doing (posting, texting, browsing) and its aggravating (I'd tap it again, and again thinking maybe its stuck again, then it would back-up all those touches 1 or 2 secs. later)

What I meant by "not my permanent ROM" was, I'd switch back to stock if these issues got unbearable.

I don't want to come off as ungrateful or rude!
My posts aren't like that!

Again, great job guys!


You've done what not many have been able to pull off in just a month!

I'm just messing with ya. ;)

I agree there's something wonky with the hard keys as I've had issues as well.
 
I achieved this particular lock indoors in under 30 seconds with the "updated" GPS libraries for Gingerbread from XDA installed.

Skitched-image0-1-1-1-1-1.jpg

Since installing CM7, I've noticed that my GPS fixes are consistently faster, as in under a minute. I'm unsure if the "updated" library that I installed is a contributor to this speed; however, the time until I get a lat/long fix is most certainly less than on the stock ROM, even without A-GPS.
 
Fantastic work! About the only thing I miss is the hdmi output but I don't use it enough for it to stop me from using this ROM. Overall speed and responsiveness are much improved over froyo and so far I've only had one spontaneous reboot... And I think that might have been the fault of Firefox for Android lol

Thanks to tickerguy and issac for your continued work!

Now we know where you live >:)
 
Im having a issue with the 3g cutting out after not using it after awhile. I usually have to turn airplane mode on and off to get it back on. Is anyone else having this issue and is their a simple fix for it? :o
 
This is a great job. Thumbs up for Tickerguy.

I have a potential BUG to report.

With the 9/20 version, is it possible to keep wifi on when screen is turned off?

I tried to set "wifi sleep policy to never", it did not work.

Did Tickerguy set the wifi to be turned off when screen is off to fix the wifi lockup bug?

It was fine for the 9/5 version.

Thanks.

I am not running any sort of wifi management program in the background. With the change I made Wifi will always sleep when the phone goes to sleep. There appears to be no capability in the interface code to play nice otherwise. What's worse is that it appears there's no choice on this one, as none of the other drivers I have access to that are allegedly for the same chip work at all.

That is, trying to use the Cherry, AndroID or Huawei Wifi drivers result in a driver that refuses to load. I found this option and its effect while attempting to get tethering working. It's not a complete solution but it does stop the lockups 100% of the time on my phone and I've had no blow-ups. If you're using some sort of software to try to "manage" Wifi beyond the stock OS software I have no idea what it will do - unload that and see if the problem goes away. I'm kinda bummed that even with the sleep policy set to "never' it still sleeps, but that beats the alternative. I don't have an issue with sleeping while plugged as I have the Application tab set to "never sleep while plugged" anyway.

I also have this issue and use airplane mode to remedy it.. I also noticed if I wake up the phone while WiFi is on the screen takes longer to turn on and sometimes it hangs and reboots my phone.. But with WiFi off the screen wakes up at it's normal speed with no issues other than the 3G not working that you mentioned..

What's weird is I never had any of the Wifi lock up issues with the 9/12 version that people said was there. The WiFi actually functioned normally and never slowed down my wake up under the 9/12 version..

Anyway this rom is still way better than stock and really gives the phone great performance! Good job Tickerguy!
 
Well, I was hesitant to report the phone locking with the latest, 9/20 build, so I made sure to wipe cache, I did a factory reset of the phone, reinstalled the 9/20 build....

It appears that the WiFi is still causing the phone to lock. I have my screen timeout set to 10 minutes, so I never let the phone "sleep" on it's own. I always push the power button manually to darken the screen.

So last night, with the WiFi on, darkening the screen by pushing the power button, and after charging on A/C -- the phone would not wake-up and I had to pull the battery.

I then kept WiFi on and kept the phone on A/C all night. I work in the basement of a building with no signal (not sure if this matters or not) -- so before going to the basement, I pushed the power button, got the the lock screen, and I got into the phone with no troubles.

Then just now, while in the basement with no reception (WiFi set to on) -- I pushed the power button and only the softkeys lit up -- screen stayed dark. After attempting to push the power button numerous times, the phone rebooted and I was able to get into the phone.

Not sure what else to say, but I guess that I'm surprised that nobody else is having this problem with the 9/20 build.

EDIT: Oh wow, the person just before my post reports the rebooting of his phone to....so it's not just me.
