Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM7 build 2013-03-03

Few random reboots but other then that no issues I have run into. Smooth.

For those with network issue this may help.
If other devices are having issue with wifi (like getting bumped off) when the Triumph is connected to the network, (if you have no wifi B devices) try changing the routers preamble. For me 0 or short preamble worked. I found this issue with certain wifi chip-sets the triumph was bumping off.

What is Preamble type, when do I need to change it?
SG FAQ :: What is Preamble type, when do I need to change it?
 
I seem to have the same issue posted here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732722

And they were able to fix it with an edited power_profiles.xml in res/xml of their framework. Maybe we could update our overlay?

I just looked into this and I don't think we will be able to benifit from this kind of mod. This is the power_profile.xml that we are using in CM7 right now[HIGH]

Yea I was actually about to say that the only difference between the power_profile.xml from the CM7 to StockROM is that the
<item name="battery.capacity">1000</item>
line is omitted. And I don't believe this is what causes the high cell standby battery usage reporting.
 
i am having wifi and data issues on 11/13.

everything will work fine then I'll leave the phone plugged in overnight with 3g off and Wi-Fi and sync on. unplug it and turn Wi-Fi and sync off and turn mobile on. I'll get the 3g icon but data won't work. try turning on/off airplane but it hangs up after i try to turn it on, from there i have to reboot, 3g will be working after that. when i get home i turn the settings back to Wi-Fi and sync w/ mobile off and it works fine to till the next morning when i change it back, never fails. I've tired clearing cache and devlik, no change.

edit:
ive tryed reflashing the rom

I had that problem a little while ago. I kicked on my data to check something out and the icon came on, but I didn't have a connection. I used my wifi and haven't thought of it sence.

+1 Random data weirdness where it either won't connect to Wi-Fi, won't connect to 3G, or both. Airplane mode doesn't seem to help though reboots do. Wiping cache and dalvik from CWM didn't seem to improve the situation. I do turn my wi-fi off during the day to allow deep sleep while working. However I believe switching wi-fi on and off may be the root of this...

I'm thinking that it might be VM's fault. They have been known to have issues in the past.
 
I've had an issue these past few days where my phone won't deep sleep. It's been working fine for weeks / months, so I'm guessing a recent app update is misbehaving, but I've updated so many recently it could be almost anything.

BetterBatteryStats lists the wakelock as "event4-166" which perhaps someone more knowledgeable can translate into something useful.

(Edit) Think I have tracked it down; will know more in a few hours.

I'm. Getting this one.
 
11.13 test build fixed my wifi woes from 10.21. More results later. So far, so good!

Wifi issues are back after further usage.
Damn I thought you had nailed it.

Anyway... it seems about like before.
Wifi errors out. Reboot fixes it, but camera goes out. Wifi off and reboot gets camera back.

Sorry for my preliminary report that it was fixed. I'll try to reinstall this weekend just for s&giggles.
 
Nailed my problem down to an updated version of Accupedo, which is a pedometer app.

After the update this week it defaulted itself to on instead of off, and was holding a wakelock for that.

Disabled the app and all is well now.

I'm glad you figured it out as I haven't even barely looked at the computer in the past couple of days. I have some free time coming up and hope to do something more useful than making changes that don't work :p. Anyone have an idea that they would like to see changed (I'm still going to try out some ideas for the center clock in the status bar) let us know. I would like something to put on my radar.
 
Hey I just wanna say thank you for all of the hard work you have put into this ROM and the Triumph community in general. The ROM works pretty well and is a definate improvement over stock.

However I have noticed a few persistent bugs in the ROM and I apologize if they are already known.

1. Phone will occasionally stay in a wake lock after turning off Wi-Fi but a reboot fixes it.
2. After a call if the other person hangs up first, the phone won't wake up for about 30-45 seconds.
3. Audio is very low while listening to music
4. Some games will freeze up and reboot the phone (temple run, plaque Inc, glu mobile games, 3D games for example)
5. Camera will force close and crash occasionally until phone is rebooted.
6. Wi-Fi will lose connection if no data is being transferred while in use (reading a news article)
 
On the main post there is an update description for 20121022 Beta, but no link, and a link for 20121113 Beta, but no update description :D

Edit- Just flashed the 20121021 Beta, so far no issues with wifi and nothing unusual to report. Will test it out a bit more tomorrow

Hmm, nice catch. I wonder if it was taken down for some reason. Or not put up. If I get a chance, I'll ask chairshot, if he doesn't see this first.
 
No im just a dumb ass and listed 11.13 as 10.22 in the description. Going forword just going to put a discription under the beta download instead as Im only going to have at the most 2 test builds up at a time. That and because of the experemental fetures think listing what has changed between each beta can get old, confusing and annoying. rather just list what is different from the most recent stable builds like for example what is different between 11.13 & 10.15 rather then what is different between 10.21 & 11.13. Hope to soon be releasing a test build intended on replacing 10.15 as the most stable and less experimental then the previous 2 beta builds. After that plan on continueing what I was working on in the 10.21 & 11.13 test builds.
 
Just updated from a May 20th build (CyanogenMod-7.2.0-rc1-triumph-g60style-r0.9) to this 11.13 build. I was happy with the previous for a time, especially compared to stock, but it started getting frustrating. Chose to look for an update instead of replacing phone - and glad I did! THANKS, I think all my frustrations are gone with all the changes you've incorporated!
 
just wanted to say I'm still having Wi-Fi issues on the newer builds, went back to the 8/10 build and everything is fine. just that Wi-Fi/3g aren't as fast as the newer builds.
 
OK added one of what is going to be two test builds. Decided on a last minute change so the second will be up soon. Removed some of the experimental stuff from the two previous test builds so will be a nice way of judging any effect they may have made, Wifi / BT for example, I still haven't personally experienced any wifi issues so definitely will need to let me know. Also removed listings for test builds from the change log to try and avoid any confusion and will start listing changes for these builds underneath the corresponding download link. Otherwise the hope is if all goes well with these two builds we will soon have an updated Rom to add into the main line. In other words a new build without the &#8220;test&#8221; label. So with these builds am looking more for a comparison like for example GPS is faster in A but Audio sounds better on B.


Both builds are now using code for AMSS version 6225 based on our Kernel config.


https://github.com/MTDEV-KERNEL/MOTO-KERNEL/blob/master/arch/arm/configs/FB400_defconfig#L251


https://github.com/MTDEV-CM7/hardware/commit/e368175bf2a57639af6dbf35558bd8764d1756a7


Also picked up on a mistake probably missed by TG when he modified Dzo's x5 GPS hardware code to work with the Triumph. Not sure it makes much a difference though.


Looking around noticed there has surprisingly been allot of work done on CM7 from Cyanogen since starting the MTDEV version and freezing the code in time so to speak. Had even seen a commit adding actual support for VM MMS. Haven't gone all out on updating all the new commits as I'm sure doing so will cause more harm then good but have updated all the Bionic code and set to use the Bionic Scorpion Optimizations like in CM9. Otherwise may start cherry picking updates here and there that would have an impact on the Triumph.


https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bionic/commit/6ae6d5ddfb5b92b8c72054d5de404340f09f4bce


May have seen the thread I started listing what files are needed for each lib used for media. In doing this added in any missing files listed like the opencore libs for example so look out for any differences with overall media.


Some other notes that will be added after eating some dinner.
 
just wanted to say I'm still having Wi-Fi issues on the newer builds, went back to the 8/10 build and everything is fine. just that Wi-Fi/3g aren't as fast as the newer builds.

What kind of speed differences are we talking about? Do you have any numbers?

Like I said earlier, I'm now on the 11.13 build, and I just ran some speedtests from the Speedtest.net app and on my PC for comparison.

My PC connected via ethernet: [test server ~50 miles away]
Ping/DL/UL
24ms/31.33mbps/3.25mbps
24ms/31.36mbps/3.25mbps
25ms/31.26mbps/3.26mbps

My Moto Triumph running CM7 11.13 build [wifi, same server ~50 miles away]
Ping/DL/UL
39ms/27.39mbps/3.16mbps
37ms/27.75mbps/3.93mbps
36ms/28.47mbps/4.03mbps

My disclaimer is that I've tested a lot in the last hour, while in different rooms, and saw my speeds fluctuate between 7mbps, then 18, then 9. That's the nature of wifi signals in a home I guess. Sitting in my office with the only a wooden wall, a bookshelf full of stuff, and 25 feet separating me from the router, I get the speeds listed above.

Also, my router is a Belkin F9K1103v1 (N 750) and my wifi is using WPA/WPA2 PSK.
