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

How's the call quality after root? Has anyone seen better signal or worse?
Same for battery life, with my old droid incredible i saw a huge improvement in battery life after CM7, same on the triumph?

Also a general question, this phone is buggy as all hell as I'm concerned. Say for example motorola pushes out an update. How does that work with root and roms, do you flash back to stock and install it? or are you just SOL? I've rooted and run CM7 before, I just never thought about how that works.

Flashing to CM7 tonight hopefully!

Call quality is identical.

Data speed seems to seems to be a smidge quicker for me (800k down as opposed to 700k)

As far as an update, don't worry about it. Chances are that it will be for Gingerbread (which CM7 already is) and maybe a slight update to the radio. We'll deal with that when (or if) it comes around.
 
Has anyone had success using a different launcher with the 9/24 build? I've tried both Launcher Pro and ADW and both seem to install fine and run fine but I can't locate the settings for either even when they are set to default and the defaults are cleared for the stock launcher. I first thought it may have been something different between TG's kernel and Isaac's preventing it from showing up but even after clearing everything and flashing back to a pure 9/24 build I'm unable to find the options for the other launchers. Am I missing something or could it be a bug?

I have Launcher Pro running just fine. The only way I know how to get to the settings for it is from within the launcher, by hitting menu and then preferences. If you can not get in at all, i would suggest first uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher if that doesn't work do a clean install of 9/25 and go from there

That got it, thanks. I was just going off of the CM7 that my wife uses on the Optimus. For her the options show up in the settings menus even if the rom didn't come stock with that particular launcher.
 
@Tickerguy --Just an FYI, if you want to fix your CWM description in the second post. The latest version that you have posted is 5.0.2.3 -- the blue one.

Also, I wonder if Tickerguy or Isaac would want to start a new ClockworkMod Recovery thread with an actual link to the latest CWM so that it can get stickied instead of that other thread that doesn't have any real current CWM info.

Otherwise, I or someone else could repost your Recovery. I just didn't want to offend either of you without checking first.
 
i was planning on getting the Motorola triumph on black Friday or on Christmas but the other day i took a pulse survey on virginmobile.com and they said they are coming out with 2 new phones so i decided i would wait and with some of the problems people were reporting would wait to see if they are fixed. i been following this thread and have to say good work ticker guy and Issac. anyway the lg optimus slider for virgin mobile wa just announced.

Virgin Mobile - LG Optimus Slider No-Contract Mobile Phone - Black - LG OPTIMUS SLIDER

do you think i should wait till like January or February for a better phone to come out.

thanks all opinions welcome.

edit: i didnt mean i was getting the optimus slider the triumph is better thhat that phone. i was just saying that one of the 2 new phones they mentioned is coming out. so i was wondering if the second will be better than the triumph. im not sure i might give in and not be able to wait it out.

i think you should go with the triumph! :D the triumph has a bigger screen... and you know what they say, BIGGER IS BETTER! LOL
 
First off, many thanks to TickerGuy and Isaac for all the work you guys have done to get CM7 on the Triumph. One of the main reasons I wanted to go to Android was to run CM and you guys are the ones who made it possible.

I'm having a bit of a problem though with the latest build:

update-cm-7.1.0-A0.5-Triumph-KANG-signed.zip

I'm using CWM 4.0.1.4 and until last night I'd never tried loading any of the CM7 builds on my Triumph. I was able to get CWM loaded, made a full backup with nandroid and tried updating to the the 7.1.0-A0.5. However all I ever get is the big red M staring at me, I even let it sit there for 20 minutes just to see if maybe I wasn't being patient enough.

Reading through the forums I did everything I could find. I've wiped the data, the cache, the davik cache, formatted system, formatted data, formatted the cache, applied the ZIP from SD, and even renamed the zip to update.zip

I cannot get 7.1.0-A0.5 to boot at all. However, I did grab the following previous build as well:

update-cm-7.1.0-AP0.3-Triumph-KANG-signed.zip

Using the same methods above, I can boot and load up CM7 without issue. I've restored back to my stock firmware and restored back to AP0.3 three times now without issue.

I know that recently there was a change from ext3 to ext4, am I using the right version of CWM? I used the one that was linked from post #2 of this thread last night by Ticker Guy and it loaded up AP0.3 without issue.

Last night was my first attempt at putting CM7 on and I do have it running as I mentioned earlier, but not the latest A0.5 release, but the previous one works just fine (in fact it really rocks).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

superdug
 
superdug, you need the 5.0.2.3 cwm with the blue background to flash A0.5. its in one of tickerguy's first posts here.

Edit: It's listed as 4.0.1.5 in post 2.
 
Thank you guy so much for this port! It's turned a phone with potential and poor execution into a pretty solid, usable phone!

A minor issue I've had is that when i change the WiFi setting to "Never" sleep, it still turns off when the screen turns off. i'm not sure if this is an issue specific to me or if it just hasn't been worked yet. just thought i'd give a heads up!

Thanks again, guys!

Maybe these specs will change your mind. besides motorola is one of the best android manufacturers.Motorola TRIUMPH specs
 
Hey guys. First off thanks to tickerguy and Issac for their great work! I can't believe how much progress has been made in such a short time. I am a programmer by profession and I have a little understanding of all the hard work they have put in.

This is not a complaint but I'm hoping I can help trouble shoot or investigate the flashing screen issue when on the phone. I just flashed my phone for the first time to cm7 and it is awesome! However I have the flashing screen when on the phone. I know that tickerguy wasn't able to reproduce the issue but it happened on mine right away and it is pretty consistent. I would be happy to document it in anyway possible to help track down the issue.

Also on a side note, I am a small business owner and I have my own exchange 2007 server. I know that some people were saying they were having an issue connecting to their exchange servers and I would be happy to provide an account for testing. I personally I use touchdown and it sync'd fine to my server using active sync over https.

Again thanks for all the hard work. I wish I knew more about java and android, I would love to get my hands dirty and help out!

That's what was confusing me, I got the actual latest one and it installs just wonderfully now!

The only problem I see is that the camera app says that it is not installed. I did a full restore with Titanium Backup of all apps and system data. I did this via batch and it worked without issue in the previous build, but not so much in this one.

I deleted the shortcut for the app from my launcher screen and placed the new camera app from the app menu where the old link was and it works fine, but that was kind of strange and I figured I'd mention it.

Everything else is working wonderfully now.
 
hey ticker jus flashed a05 version and im having a problem with my 3g cutting out when the phonea asleep i dont use juice defender or anything like that.....the usual airplane mode fixes it but its literally everytime i wake the phone
 
Using the latest build if I go into the CM settings and choose to use my default wallpaper on the lock screen the lock screen never comes back up after sleeping. I've changed it to be a solid color and everything seems to be working as it should again. I can reproduce this every time I set Kiera Knightley as my background image whether on charger or off.

I haven't tested any other backgrounds other than color fill and the one I mentioned above, so I'm assuming that it just hates poor Kiera.
