Got a "new" touch pro2. Will update this cm7.2 build. But i will need some time for this.

I hacked up a zip file that installs the kernel from the latest OMGB release as it has some new battery code. I though I would post it in case someone wants to play with it. The kernel will not work on the 3.x.x versions of this rom I suspect, but I was able to use it with the 2.6.x version. Also some gps libs I pulled from GBX. Not sure if they are newer than the ones in this rom, but there they are. No warranty or support for this is offered. It should be fine, but if your phone becomes Skynet after installing I take no responsibility.

Information about 3.3.4 kernel build!

- Display will be black if you try to press power and devices sleeps and USB-cable is plugged.
- without plugged USB-cable display works normal
- wifi is not working (fixed with 2012-05-22 build)
- data works only with enabled national/international roaming
- automatic APN settings did not work
- autobacklight is not working - switch to manual

- detule 3.3.4 (6) kernel
- ramdisk modded to work with cm7.2
- /lib/hw used from Xdandroid GBX0C nand
- mediaprovider.apk form Xdandroid GBX0C nand (CM7.2 mediaprovider = FC)


CDMA build is not tested.

Happened again, I made a phone call, the screen went of when I raised the phone near my face, called finished and the screen never came on again, the phone was completely unresponsive. Left alone for a while. Nothing. As as I plugged in the USB cable it rebooted.

Thing is, for me this issue is easy to replicate. It happens only on long calls (over 10 minutes give or take). On short calls I never experience this. But during long calls it happens each and every time.

Posting last kmsg.

Maybe less ram. You run some havy background apps. Try without whatsapp.
