Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM7 build 2013-03-03

how goes in the land of the Motorola Triumph ? The Wife wants something new & yes she's still rocking the her OG triumph. I on the other hand have been off inside of so many of the newer Android devices, like i'm rocking the new Samsung Galaxy S2 4G. Anyway so i see there's still no love in the camera department area, what a bummer the wife won't let me put her Triumph on ICS or Jellybean being as she can't live without the camera, lol. So what's new in the CyanogenMod development ? Anyboby got any suggestions for me on the Triumph ? Stability & functionality are a must i'm so sick of having to hear about the little problems when i'm trying to focos on building HTC & Samsung roms from source or make kernels. I haven't been in this section for awhile now, but i had forgotten how much of my work is posted here in the MT section. Also am i blind or is there no link for the Gapps in the MTDEV CM7 section ? I'd prefer to keep her phone on gingerbread or higher but ?????
 
If you flash your wife's phone to Gingerbread, you will experience what is listed in the known issues section. GAPPs sounds like it should be added to the OPs and my FAQ. Thanks for the idea, even though you probably don't know I even had an FAQ. It has been ages since you were cooking up ROMs. I was just a lurker on the forums then. How time flies. :D
 
I will test this out ASAP and post my results. But give me until the weekend. I have defective technology to deal with. Windows 8 is having issues activating after some hardware repairs, my Nexus 7 is having issues with the charging circuit, and my Desktop is currently being repaired. Technology isn't made like it used to be... Oops. Sorry for the double post. Could a mod please merge the two?
 
i have been testing the rom all morning with nothing to see as a bugs also no clicking on recording good work chairshot and bsyds

Seems to me that the new build doesn't allow both Wifi and BT to remain on simultaneously, other than that, no other bugs that I can see.

Sorry if this is an old question but what is meant by "Better video" in the 9/23 update?

Haven't updated since the 8/19 release :o but gonna update soon so I was just wondering about that change.
 
anyone using copilot live premium with this rom? The gps locks and works in google maps, but copilot live does not see the gps data. I had it working properly with an earlier version of this rom MT-DEV.
thanks.

Yeah I fudged a file, just posted a fixed version without the issue.

Actually more like I forgot to push a change in permissions. The file itself is ok, I just did not make the permission change in the "init.triumph.rc" needed for it to work properly.

I just checked out the Theme chooser and it at least seemed to work fine for me. Downloaded and did a clean flash of the update.zip and this is what I have seen the after changing the theme to Androidian with both flashes. Otherwise let me know if I am missing something as I don't generally use the Theme but it seems to be working as expected. ?

When I get set back up I and see what elements are themed by the theme. Just because the theme's preview has it doesn't mean it's in the actual theme.
 
Another thing to consider is that the preview image may be using the ADW launcher used in most CM7 Roms ware we are using the Stock GB Launcher instead. Just a thought but may be why some of the previews would look different. Have since recompiled using my Starship overlay so don't have the Theme chooser installed at the Moment to check it out.
 
OK guys, I am back up and running. I got my remote connections (teamviewer) working properly now. Now I just need to start working on things.

If you guys could open up tickets on our wiki so I could keep track of things I'll try to work from there first.
 
Since going to the 12-28 ROM, GPS has been a real dog. I have tried Faster GPS and do GPS test, but Navigation is very difficult to get going.

Maps normally shows my location exactly to the room, but when it comes time to locate GPS for Navigation it takes forever (searching for GPS). Now after letting the phone sit for an extended period of time, it does eventually find GPS and subsequent queries bring very quick results, but if I reboot, the same delay occurs.

Is anyone else having the same issue. With the Sharp ROM Navigation is always very quick.

Is anyone (hopefully more than one) willing to test the ROMs through the versions? I would like to get an opinioned listing for what version of the various ROM (MTDEV ROMs) have the best performace. That way I could look into the files and configurations that were used and maybe figure what combonation will work best.
 
dsmryder im running 12/28 right now and its as smooth as sharp only bug i found is infamous flicker on youtube
 
I flashed the one with the boot sound... I can disable it be deleting the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media or do I have to flash the version without the boot sound? I wouldn't mind it as much if it was silenced with the phone.
