Root [ROM] CM7 Nightlies EVO Community

Im currently using LP with nightly 38. I notice that whenever I reboot my phone any widgets I have setup no longer load or work. I have to delete them and reads them to my desktop. I use weatherbug, simi clock, and batter monitor widget. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
I also noticed that the charging led turns green at about 90% based on battery monitor widget. Anyone else encounter this?

LP (i'm a long time fan) does not play nice with cm7. I found that by fixing permissions I was able to resolve all but a startup issue when rebooting the phone.. it would lag and ask to force close..by waiting it would clear in ~5-10 seconds. I tried adw ex and have better results. I did find that adw handles the startup lag better. although it fires up, its not all there for the same amount of tine that LP hung up. I did find that with lots of tweets, I was able to match LP with everything except LP widget support... still miss that

here is a more up to date unofficial link on cm7 nightlies if you like.
[INFO/FAQ] Unofficial Cyanogen Mod 7 Nightly (2/9 - Busy Laydros has been busy) - Page 1159 - xda-developers

also if you read ahead in the forum there are reports of the gps still not working properly...
i cant test that build(36) myself because after using the older gps fix i dont have any issues even after flashing multiple roms.

Is there any type of wifi mod? It seems like the wifi signal is weaker in cm7 than other sense roms Ive used.

yeah i've been running the nightlies for almost a month now and this is one of the problems that i have with it. the wifi seems cut in and out all the time and it drops when i hold it. Hopefully it's looking like 4g will be ready to go in the next month or so. I'll take a break and come back then unless theres a fix for this.
 
Two issues I've been running into.

1. The WiFi issue that's been previously stated in this thread. My WiFi cuts in and out and sometimes I lose signal completely and my phone jumps to 3G. I check if WiFi is still on and sure enough, it is. My wifi works fine when this happens, both my laptop and xbox run just fine.

2. This is an issue that bothers me the most. I get random reboots when my phone is plugged in.

Any solutions to these? Especially the second one?

Thanks.

Did you set your wifi policy to never sleep? Go to wifi settings then hit the menu button and select advanced. There should be an option to never let it sleep.

That might work :D
Jeeze, I learn new things about this phone everyday. Never had the problem before, but this might solve it.

Have you tried it out yet, how does it compare to the wimax release from a couple weeks ago?

Running really smooth right now. Honestly i havent had any problems with the nightlies. Only reboot i ever had was with over clocking.

I'll give it a day or two to see how the battery lasts and what not. Will report back.

Ok, so I tested this out and it works; however not fully. When following these steps you will find that your GPS work perfectly fine, but when and if you update your rom build it seems to break the fix. This is what I did and here are my theories. I downloaded and flashed the latest Fresh rom, followed the steps to the GPS fix and once I was done I rebooted back into recovery and wiped the data and both cache and dalvik cache. Finally I nand restored CM7 build 20. All in all about 10 mins or so of fiddling around and I was able to use my GPS. I tested it out along the way to the gym. I had it take me there and on my way there I changed locations several times to test its capability to reroute and maintain its lock.

All is well at this point (at this point I've had the fix working for approximately 2 hours. To get me to the gym and back home) So I decided to check out the latest build, build 21 and downloaded it, wiped cache's and flashed it on.... Once I was back in, I tried the GPS and it just wouldn't lock. Even data seems slower.

I decided to return to my nandroid backup for build 20 and we're back up and running.

So, my finding would suggest:

1.) Build #21 breaks the newly found fix or

2.) The fix only works it you have a nandroid back up of CM7

If this is the case, Rom flashing just got slower until a true fix is implemented. I implore everyone to please continue to read and post any and all findings. I remember back before the EVO launched and the EVO anticipation thread just blew up.... We had thousands of posts and a community was born. Share here and help us all.

Matlock.... Thanks for posting and trying to keep it alive here bud...

ive done the fix once and flashed many times over... if at a new rom and i dont get a lock from NAV, try locking thru maps first (plot a route nav to, from maps and back out. go to NAV see if locks.) FIX still tracks..
 
I was running the nightly builds, most recently #37 and it kept rebooting every time I would screen off and wifi was on. I eventually flashed back to a Joey Krim sense ROM.

Overall I really liked what Cyanogen was doing, but the lack of Wimax in the nightly builds, is kind of a deal breaker for me. I'm assuming the RC doesn't have it either, right?

Is the reboot issue I mentioned before, still there? Did anyone else have it as well?

That is all.

I did start a CM7 EVO group; let’s try to keep it in one place. The reason I started the thread was because it seemed every other phone had a dedicated thread to CM7 except the EVO.... In any case, thank for the post.

The RC looks smaller then the other files. Has anyone noticed anything missing from the earlier nightlies that just are here?
