Are you guys using WiFi? I've been getting random reboots for some time, and for me it seems to be related to when I've got wifi enabled. I haven't narrowed it down entirely though.
Are there logs that I can post to help the devs? Not sure how to pull any up.

BSydz mentioned a couple of things relating to what you said. One of them is about the kernel, more about the modem in fact. The other thing is a file, last.proc I think. I looked at it a while back. Look back maybe a couple of pages in this thread.
Sorry if this has been previously addressed, but does our ROM suffer from this same issue, or have you devs corrected this already in CM7 & CM9? I don't have my son's phone handy to see if these logs are present and/or their size.

Most custom roms already have this problem fixed. Some of the stock roms still have it though.

Thanks, but that's not a memory leak. It's more like a storage space leak. A memory leak is when a program doesn't remove itself after being closed, thus the memory isn't available to another process.
I've been running the CM7 20130303 No Bootsound ROM for about a month. The GPS fix is still rather slow. It took 2 minutes to get a fix sitting on the stairs in front of my house. And the fix it came up with was about 150ft off. Is there anyway the AGPS from the Sharp or U9000 be incorporated into this ROM? I like all the additional CM7 features but the GPS is still a little wanting. I just flashed back to the U9000, sat in the same spot and it took 30 secs to get a fix.

We couldn't incorporate the AGPS. It would take some real coding. Me personally I have been crazy busy and only have been able to write a couple of demo apps while reading my book. I'm not sure what is involved exactly, but I'm sure there are some specific calls made to the a particular set of libraries that are in the U9000.
Thanks for the feedback! I use my phone for geocaching so a snappy GPS is a plus for me. If it could be done, that would lock in CM7 permanently for me! Overall I'm pretty happy with this phone. I would never have gotten it based upon reviews I read on how crappy the stock GPS was. When I found this forum and the ROM's you all have put together, I was sold! Thanks!

Is anyone else having trouble sending and receiving texts on their Triumph running this ROM? I've tried reflashing, format then reflash, going to a NANDroid backup, and for the last week I seem to get spotty and hit-and-miss texting. Of course, it might just be my store brand SD card flaking out.

Do you know if anyone has looked at porting AGPS from Sharp/U9000? Are there blobs involved here?
I have spent quite some time looking in to this. I have seen warnings during errors in the build related to AGPS server not set from the hardware/qcom/gps in ICS. I have found two keys to the puzzle, one is the apn has to be correct for it to use AGPS, and also I was recently reading about it and it said something about having the correct info related to ril (telephony). I still don't know how to get it set in the settings though, it will have to be done in the device files overlay I believe, as changes there make options available in settings. Since reading about the ril part, I have used both Froyo Sharp and U9000 ril files. They both work with our ICS builds. I did pull the apns from the Cherry ROM but after putting those two peices together I am going to use the apns and the rill from the U9000 ROM in my next build. I know that the GPS files from ICS CAF source is way different than what we use so that may be a factor or just missing settings in the 50001 files in hardware/qcom/gps. I figured out that chairshot had used the AGPS patch found over at XDA which was just the gps.conf in system/etc. But from reading, it was a hit or miss on helping or not. I can not find any documentation on it as everything is about developing apps, it is hard to find a pure ROM development thread anywhere on the net, I just search for ROMs that say AGPS and try to find a repo for the ROM and sift through the code but haven't found anything yet.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Well, just from a very high level, my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that we have a GPS device that we talk to via a UART, and a wireless modem we talk to via a UART as well. So, it should be some matter of taking a cell tower location from modem and passing on to GPS.
I'm not sure what apn is (access point name)?
Do you know if we have the source to this stuff? I have seen some RIL related java code, but I also see a proprietary libgps.so...
While familiar with the term, UART is foreign language to me still. but yes we need to get the gps to receive info from the modem. I was looking at the settings in ICS and saw that the description for Googles location service says wifi and cell towers, so maybe it has been bundled together. I haven't run CM7 in a long time so I don't know if it may have been combined, but all the X6 GB ROMs have AGPS as an option in the location settings.
The apns-conf.xml is in the device file in prebuilt, it is put in system/etc. Can't remember off hand what apn stands for but yeah I think it is access point name.
From what I can see there is no libgps.so in the proprietary files, it must be built. It can be found at hardware/qcom/gps we use 50001. The sensors file may have to do with it though. Back when I was looking at the sensor lib I noticed that we have five sensors and I think the triumph file was the only one to name all five the others only named 3. Don't remember if I looked at the Froyo ROMs, it was a long time ago. More than likely it will have to do with the gps source but it may be in frameworks.
I was very excited about the last two updates since I use tasker to automate Bt/wifi/3g for Bt audio in my car, Bt headphones, etc depending on location/available wifi networks. BT works great now, but ever since I went from cm9 to cm7 03-03, wifi and 3g will both stop working at random times, not able to obtain a network address for either. Wifi either gets stuck obtaining an IP address or connects with the IP address reading unavailable, no matter my location or connected network, and 3g stays white when not using wifi. Bt always works. Airplane mode doesn't fix this, only a reboot. Wouldn't be a huge problem, except it can happen multiple times a day.
Also, built in tether always fails to initialize and barnacle suffers from the mtu problem. I rarely have a need to tether but would like the option, especially for my rooted tablet, which has no way to easily change mtu.
Sorry for the questions, but I haven't kept up with development recently.

No problem. Development has been slowed this year with chairshot and g60 moving to the evo v. We did get a rush from adamto and BSydz. That was nice.
I don't remember if tethering ever worked for this ROM. Maybe someone could tell me? I know it worked on other CM7 ROMs.
Anyway, I hope to keep up working on these ROMs and see where the MT can go.
I know built in tethering worked on a CM7 MTDEV build I used last summer, but there are few, rare occasions I'd need to use it. I tried testing it out a few days ago, so was wondering the current state/other apps that might play nice.
The networks dropping have proven to be a huge annoyance even though I really only use my MT for calls, texts, and podcast playing. This is the main reason I haven't bought a new phone because the MT works great as a phone/podplayer. Recently, having to reboot to look up an address in maps while out and about has really brought this to my attention.
The MT has come a looooong way. It is all thanks to the devs, and I greatly appreciate all the hard work!

The main reason I ask is because I can find the differences and make the changes. I don't have the patients to reload all my settings after flashing. That's why I have a DEV phone. The only problem is the DEV phone doesn't have service, just WiFi. On top of that I have been working on CM9 lately and have flashed a ton of tests.
Anyway, for anybody who wants to help out, could you find the versions that have the functions that are needed? From there I could work out the changes and build some testers and maybe trace down a perfect combination of settings and device files.

I tried it and couldn't get any satellites to show.
It acted like GPS was off. Tried to toggle GPS, but never could get anything. I'll try further tomorrow.

So I've downloaded CM7 I like it but I have a couple questions.
Is there a feature to change the notification color? I notice that sometimes its flashes like a red/orange amber type color?
I've also noticed that when I'm charging my phone, when it gets to about 90% the LED turns green like its done when its not, just wondering why this is happening

I tried it as well. No GPS at all. Nuts!

As someone else said it turns green at 90 due to the intervals set on the charging, typically its something like 20% or less its red, 90% or higher is green, if u use the uot kitchen tool u can change the on screen battery colors to whatever u like at whatever charge level but that wont effect the notification light
And to answer ur other question about the notification light no u can't change it, our phone LED has green and red, or it can be amber if its both but that's it,some other phones have multi color LED's so it can be changed with an app but our device sadly doesn't have that option
