Root [ROM][PORT] Sharp ROM 2.2.2 for the Triumph (Updated: 12/16/12)

Thanks! Flashed back to MIUI and still the same issue. Either the network here has an issue or my phone hardware is wonked. Thanks!!
 
Do I have to install the GPS Fix zip or is it already built into ver7?

I installed Version 7 with a clean install. Everything is so far so good. I didn't know if I'd really like the dark theme of GB but I gotta say, I really like it. I restored my sharp launcher back up from ver6 with titanium backup and it only put my folders and shortcuts on, no wallpaper or widgets. No big deal though.

Some suggestions. A Triumph version complete with Triumph build prop and with the voicemail fix built in. I still have to do these.
Thanks, the network location fix is included now. I guess my point of keeping it Sharp is my little way of saying screw you to Motorola and VM for no support. If you want to modify the build.prop feel free, I stopped putting up build.props cause it was changing so much I figured I'd wait til everything was finished. Also, feel free to try your hand at the voicemail issue, some of the information needed is here, minus anything sms mms or message related cause I already fixed them. I'm sure that other files in the framework will have to be edited but those are a start. If anybody has any ideas about a possible fix for the voicemail issue I would be glad to hear them, cause what I think needs to be done is quite tedious, and I have too much on my plate right now.

No need to fix the voice mail anymore than it is in my oppinion. I don't care if *86 works or not. Adding the line to the com.android.phone.xml is a good enough fix for me. I click on the voice mail notification in the status bar, it goes to voice mail.

I agree about the "screw Motorola and vm". I wish they would hire people like you and the devs that care about the functionality of the devices. I think they just release stuff without any testing. It's cool though, we've got you on our side. It's finally a really nice phone on a cheap plan. I had 2 offers to buy my Triumph for around $175. I was ready to jump on the Evo V band wagon. Glad I didn't go through with it.

Time to give you some coffee money.
 
I didn't have a chance to read through this thread completely yet, just last few pages.

Is there any documentation on the hybrid kernel in terms of features?

I see the tethering is built in, is it working? I see a post where a user was only able to access Google and they were on usb

Any Bluetooth/Wi-Fi bugs? I seem to have the b_random randomised where Bluetooth puts the phone in searching after a few minutes, hard to deal with when I use the Bluetooth keyboard. Btw any hope for built in hid support?

Sigh stock or custom kernel and absinthe still random record may as well try a good Rom soon
 
Hey, is there any way to get the cm7 rotation settings on this Rom? Maybe a work around app or something? I've found it's hard to play games when you keep hitting the home key accidentally.

from my understanding the kernel is bone stock sharp, but should verify with bsydes

i tried hotspot seems to work fine for me

wifi bug i had is non existant in ver. 7 whatever it was bsydes fixed somehow, bluetooth i havnt used but no bug reports of bluetooth sooo thats a good sign.

this rom for me is 100% working it runs great and every feature works 90 times better than stock, i say try it and fall in love...

yea its not 2.3 gb, but it runs better than most custom gb roms i have tried, and all features of the phone work great including hdmi i am told, gps is nearly instant lock, and good on battery. only used 30% for half hour of gps guidance...

this is my new perminant rom, no need to experiment to fix issues, all are working so far...

I had a little issue but it is gone now. The first time I started bluetooth with wifi on, it shut the wifi off for a second and it came back on. I was pairing my head set. It hasn't done it since though.
 
Has anyone tried the OC kernel and found any downsides (like wifi/bluetooth deep sleep issues)? Or everything working fine w/ that?

Thanks.
 
Hey bsydes!!!

I am trying to use my gps and when it tries to connect it kills data, 3g and 1x. And cannot connect to download maps...

This is new since update to ver 7 first time ive tried gps on this update
also since the update the data seems slower, i dunno if i hit my throttle cap but its just a lil slower...

navigation seems to be working now but i have had this data loss issues 2 seperate times using ver. 7
 
I didn't realize this until I read on a thread at HoFo but *86 is suppose to dial VM customer service. I dialed it on both of my kids phones and it goes to CS. I always presumed that *86 was another way to get into your voice mail. So really there is no *86 problem since it does go to CS, right?

Right. The problem was that the voice mail notification was calling CS instead of your voicemail: It had nothing to do with what happened when you manually dial *86.

Glad that's clear now. I was completely misunderstanding that issue.

On a separate note, I've had my wifi switch off and back on 2 times now. It happened when I was connecting my Bluetooth headset. It would shut wifi off and it would come back on all within a second of the headset connecting. I'm not worried about it but just wanted to report it. Another problem I've had with all the versions including this one. Every time I power down and then backup, it wants to remove a few apps. It's always the same apps. The road ninja one I'll uninstall but the other 3 I use. I can click and drag them back into their folders but the minute I reboot this the screen I see. It's the edit screen.

Edit: Just to clarify, it doesn' t try to uninstall them. Just takes them out of the folder.

It looks like this:

Maybe try de-selecting "Use assisted GPS" in location settings- it'll take longer to get a GPS lock, but might be worth seeing if it fixes your data problem. I'm on the U9000-81 ROM & it seems to stop my data from dropping to 1X when using apps like Maps.

i didnt have this problem with ver. 6, and the data doesnt drop to 1x it drops all together like i have no signal, and cannot download any data.

i will try disabling agps if i continue to have this issue, i might just go back to ver. 6 since it seems a little faster with data, i used gps a couple times with ver. 6, i also noticed how it would drop to 1x, but data speed was not really comprimised

so i either messed something up when installing the new version or something that was updated in the new version is being wacky with my phone.

when installing the ver. 7 rom, i did a clean install. instead of an update...

I haven't seen any issues with the wifi and bluetooth but I don't use BT very often. Did the wifi disconnect or was it just the status bar refreshing when the headset connected? Any more details would be helpful.

It is the launcher, when you fill your homescreen it starts adding shortcuts where the phone shorcut usually is, it is like an active folder, if you put them in a regular folder it won't give that option. It has nothing to do with the apps.

It is a bug that is an either or. With earlier versions, if you have wifi enabled and not connected, and try to use aGPS then it will knock you down to 1x but only two people said it knocked out service all together. More info can be found here and after. I can't get it to drop completely on my phone, so it may have to do with strength of signal at the time. It may have to do with the kernel objects for wifi, cause I changed them back for Ver7 to what they were before to fix some wifi issues. So that is where the either or comes in. With wifi on and not connected but aGPS disabled it will get a quick lock with network location, and then the GPS will tighten up the lock when it gets it, and it shouldn't knock down 3G at all. Hope this helps.

is there an app to record what happens when this occurs, for more information, and i have not checked your link yet but this data loss issue is when wifi is and is not enabled

i just tested the gps indoors with only 1 bar 1x no 3g, connected to data and satellites fine had map and gps within 90 seconds, ive gotten the no data issue only twice, the first i was connected to wifi when i drove off and i thought it was due to that, but the second time i was in the city with 4 bars 1x and 3g wifi was 100% off. just reporting a bug, not an issue

The wifi only disconnected for a second so no way that I know of to tell if it actually disconnected. Maybe it was just refreshing like you said. It isn't a big deal for me.

Do you mean that particular home screen page or the 6 screens in total are too full? The page wasn't full, or at least it didn't look full. There's 4 spaces left by my count. Also the apps were in the folders on the home screen. The folders weren't full either. I'm anal about dividing my apps by category so that's what the folders are for. There are other folders that are fuller than the ones these apps were in. I'll try to put these apps onto another screen and see if that helps.

The folder that is popping up with the option to clear all, is the folder where the phone icon usually is. If you drop an app on the phone button, the left tab at the bottom, it will make it a folder. I can see in your pic that that is what is happening. If you have those apps in a different folder then just clear them and the phone icon will come back, or just hit menu and then edit and it will show you the folder, it is called cabinet. I don't know if it is another quick launch option or what, there are things I am learning about this launcher everyday.
 
when i had ver 7 installed, the wifi tether would only allow google access also.

is there a way to fix it?


The cm7's work but not this one unless you reset the "mtu" on the computer itself. You can usb tether with things like pdanet though, thats the one I use.
 
yeah, that's the only reason why i'm using cm7. I'd love to be able to use a stock rom and easily use the tethering like i was able to do on my optimus.

Well, I've tried removing app icons to test this. I've also tried moving them to a differant screen. Neither of these worked. Every time I reboot the phone it puts those same icons in that folder except when I remove them completely off the home screen. It is really anoying because those are apps I use regularly. I like having them where I can get to them quickly without scrolling through all my apps. This is the only issue I have and it's not even a bug. It's how the launcher works. :( I wish there was a setting for this.
 
I re flashed the go 60 ROM just to see what's new, restored back to this after an hour or so. This is just to damn smooth, lol.
 
So between this and the u9000 so far it sounds like this is more stable but doesn't support Wi-Fi tethering and looks a bit different.

Is it possible to install the stock camera on this via the apk?
Tempted to try this out the other one soon. But it's like an unstable install of Windows, you deal with it because of laziness and it's like eh a few random record is okay right... haha
