[ROM] CM7 I727 Kang R7 Update {4/26/2012} Nightly 4/21/2012

bts0uth · Apr 22, 2012

The T-Mobile guys are reporting that wireless tethering works for them. When I try turning it on it just says error and turns back off. Another guy on page 3 reported the same issue.

I'm using UCLA3.

Can anyone confirm wireless tethering is working ?

absolutely loving this rom so far, had a few force closes with gallery but froze it and use quickpic which is a million times better, and battery life on this is ridiculous for a cm rom, after using it all day which included over a hour of screen time, many pictures and mms, and a good amount of browsing the internet im down to 68%, which is only because for some reason battery use is showing that dialer used 32% which seems a little weird, does anyone have a clue why its doing this or a solution to it??? Could i possibly freeze the dialer and use a third party one such as exdialer or do you think the problem is something else to do with it??

Anyone thinking of downloading this should definitely follow these steps for a clean, fast and great battery life experience...(if coming from an ics rom)
1. Boot into recovery and use darkside wipe
2. Wipe batterystats
3. Flash rom
4. Let it boot and sit around like 10 mins then set up phone
5. Reboot to recovery and clear cache, dalvik cache and then fix permissions
6. Run the phone hard all day, and if towards the end of the day you still have a good amount of battery left download the app juice offender, and run it until it drains almost all of your battery ( i recommend turning of flash every 20 minutes for a few minutes so you dont burn out the bulb, then turn it back in when it cools down)
7. Recharge the phone
8.Enjoy

*only problem i have is the one i stated above, no other force closes or lag

Tethering actually works on ucld2 after flashing the kernel.zip, it messes up auto ratote for me though, so I just turned it off in settings.

Here's the Gallery Fix, it pull both pic's from the internal & external sd & work faster than R4 did...

Gallery3D.apk

I found that deleting all screenshots great improved speed of gallery for some odd reason.

App is just the .apk & need to be dropped in the r5 .zip or pushed / however you want to add it..

Thank You! Been testing this rom for a few days now no issues for me so now i am going to Odin back to stock and and set this up on a fresh phone.Once again thank you for your work in getting this working

tjsooley & I figured out the tethering issue, so R6 will fix tether, Browser Fc / Gallery FC

Can't wait.

Another issue that will only effect a few users (including myself) so it isn't priority but the application, "Square Card Reader" doesn't work on this ROM. It detects when you plug the card reader in via the headset jack but when scanning a card it does nothing and gives you no notice a card has been scanned. Not sure what causes this but I have had it work on certain ICS roms and not on others.

I am an on site Computer Technician and have to use this app and wireless tethering on the regular so I have to go back and forth between nandroid backups after I get off work but it's worth it to have CM7.

Keep up the amazing work! So close to being 100% on the Skyrocket!

I'm getting sub par battery life on R5. CPU Spy doesn't show anything out of whack, but didn't install batterystats yet to check for wakelocks. Any secrets to extend battery that anyone can share?

I don't want to say poor battery life because I am a heavy user, but I'm charging after about 6 hours versus 9 to 10 hours on my 2.3.6 Samsung build

Thanks for the update Eugene!!

luigic81 · Apr 24, 2012

Loving this thanks!!
Ics is too slow, this is speed

How are you guys getting visual vm to work? I can't restore with tb, it just hangs. Anyone have the apk?

Heres the Visual Voicemail apk
Haven't tried it though. It's deisgned for AT&T phones but since the buildprop shows t989, it may or may not work

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

I wasn't sure since it's branded AT&T in the app itself. Good to know tho

I get LTE speeds on R5. I used APN Backup and Restore to pull in the APNs from a stock SR. Haven't updated to R6 yet, so cant say on that release.

**EDIT**
I'm about to fresh flash the R6 using LA3 modem. I'll update in a bit on that release

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

weird as hell, but I just got a capcha prompt when setting up my Google account.
Error 462 when downloading an app from the market first time also
Now market FC when launching

Davlik wipe and reflash (no Darkside)
rebooted and hung at CM logo
Back to recovery, Davlik, Darkside, flash ROM, reboot
Booted to homescreen, let settle for a bit, added Google acct (no capcha or errors) and DL APN Backup and Restore from Market and saw all my previous apps downloading. Didn't happen any time before using this (again weird as hell, but it's spose to do that)

Home button not working either
Waited for my apps to finish from market then rebooted again
Everything smooth as butter
Restored APNs and selected the PTA, rebooted
Weak LTE where I am but hit 10 down
Upstream was really weak at 723k though

That was the strangest flash process I've had in a while
something must be screwy with my phone lol

Yea, doing that now. That was just weird though. This is the only ROM I've used since I started using it. Almost back to the homescreen for setup though. I'll be in a full LTE area in a while and will post results also

luigic81 · Apr 24, 2012

Thanks for the vvm apk!
I can't get past the set password screen though it keeps hanging, I've tried clearing data on the app, fixing permissions etc, it still won't take, do I need to do something else? Like. Something with apn settings?
