Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM9 build 20130120 [BETA]

I had a battery drain with 10-25, but it turned out that the CPU was clocking at the default speeds and not my normal underclocked settings. You might want to check to make sure that your cpu is set at speed that you run normally. I was using system tuner using init.d scripts to set the speed at startup. Unfortunately, this does not always seem to work with cm9. I switched to apply after boot completed.

You can also check data usage. That might help you pinpoint alternative causes of battery drain. I don't think the battery stats app is fully functional.

I don't think you mention whether you did a complete wipe before flashing the new rom. Not wiping can cause problems.

In any case, other than cpu settings issue, i have not noticed any other unusual battery drains from 10-25 or 10-28.

Good luck.

I actually wipe everything twice when switching between ROMs just to be safe. With the 10-25 build I used the smooth governor to try it out, and now I'm using savagedzen with no problems. Maybe that was the issue?

OK, I'll be the "immature" one....Always better to be safe then sorry, good to hear you wipe twice...sometimes I wipe 3 times, no one wants a browner eye than need be! :vroam:

Haha I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone commented. I was thinking as I was writing my response that it wouldn't sound right no matter how I worded it lol.
 
Only problem I have noticed is wifi...when I turn it off for an extended period and turn it back on it only shows my home wifi connection and says it is out of range...90% of the time requires reboot to fix it

I've found just turning Wifi on and off a few times fixes it.

I doesn't seem like it should because smoothass is supposed to keep your phone clocked at lower frequencies when sleeping than many other governors. However, those smartass based govenors can be erratic.

As a test, you can try switching back to see if it happens again. If i get the chance, i might try it for a short period to see if there is a drain on my phone.

I ahve been having the issue, weather on stock with the DEV phone, or no MY (CM7) phone. If I go into my router settings I can hit "apply" and all will be good for a while. I guess I need to bust out the old laptop and test it with that thing to try to test the router.

Have y'all tried to reset your routers? Either by a software or "pull the plug" methods? I'm just currious for right now.
 
just wanted to jump in and say thank you to the entire mtdev team g60 you are the man if it wasnt for you and the team this phone would be garbage.ive been watching the threads for a couple months and gotta say the progress ive been noticing on this rom with the quality work you guys do is phenominal..i really appreciate it..looking forward to the rom being fully functinal as i know one day in the future it will be :)
 
I do know that apparently you cannot just install whatever Rom you want because of how the service works.
 
Just going out on a limb here: I read something about Linaro open source software for ARM SOCs and was wondering if it could help the devs get the camera working.

It looks like TG got the Facebook sync working in build 0.6.2 I wonder if something got lost when G60 reverted back to the original codebase? It looks like this guy has a fix that involves hacking the ContactsProvider.apk.

Mantera had a hack on this. I will go back and look into this. Even though I stated I won't add any more on this ROM. But clearly if there is problems I will add the fixes in :) is there anything else people are seeing? Been down and out for most of today due to getting my (4) Wisdom teeth pulled but don't worry I am doing really well considering all things :cool:

However this is good time for people to start use our issue tracker. It makes it easier for us to see all the issues instead of crawling the forums.

Ouch! Getting wisdom teeth pulled is no joke. Get better man.

I seem to notice the GPS isn't locking on well this round. Did something change from earlier revisions?

Linaro offers another tootlchain it's supposed to help speed up the code more. I have been wanting to mess around with it and try to build the complete source code using it but this is way on the back burner. It won't help with the camera sadly though just help with the ROM running faster from what others have said.

The key to the camera is finding the kernel source code for Aptina MT9P111 and also the libcamera software for it. I recently also reached out to TomGiordano who also has the same camera as the Triumph. I have tried to compile his code in the past but it didn't work.

The plans are to use the hex-rays on the cameralib and try and work some magic. I am hoping soon we will have some success on the camera front. If I can solve the camera this ROM will almost be complete and next up with be HDMI. Taking the same process of stripping the hdmid bin file and trying to do the same with the code.

Again all these problems range from the fact Motorola never released the source code so we need to decompile almost everything, and make changes to the code to work with our kernel settings just like our Audio.

Yeah I am doing a lot better. Nothing changed in GPS, I don't know enough how bad weather effects GPS due to hurricane sandy. But nothing changed on my part.

Hi g60, I did a bit of searching and found this: https://github.com/suapapa/aptina_mt9p111_genfw

could it be of any help?

Don't know about with ICS, but with CM7 I had added the linaro 4.6 toolchain into the CM7 source I had and was compiling with it successfully. ICS may be trickier because I believe they had to change some things with the linaro toolchain in order to get it to compile ICS based ROMs but I'm not for sure. I always used Linaro on my kernels. Some say there aint to much of a difference between all the toolchains either, but I had just always used Linaro!
 
Have used Linaro with both CM9 & cm10 on my Kindle and there at least seems to be an improvement, have been meaning to look into it as a possibility for CM7 but always end up getting sidetracked. That and its unfamiliar territory so not sure I understand it all at this point.

Good god man! No need for a Codeine induced hacking. Let the wife/girlfriend take care of you for a couple days!

You know, the Ballmer Peak applies here.

I can't wait for a version of Android 4.0 that has a camera. I really love this rom as I find the battery usage is great! Are there going to be anymore updates in the future? Sorry if I've sounded picky over the camera. It's just that for me, it's a key feature. I could care less about hdmi mirroring.
 
Great work g60! Glad to hear about your progress. I hope you have a safe full recovery. Will the camera work better than the stock camera app? And will the updated rom be posted on the 1st page when it's ready?
