New kernel with swap enabled. it will also now mount correctly your sd-ext partition as ext4 (if formated as ext4, which is the how my CWM will format it).

Thanks you for your hard work!
I fight with GPS, but now GPS is too strong for me :(
I quote here my PM to respect carstenheuer - I wrote him, because he had well work GPS on CM7:

Hi!
I try "clear" CM7 v.0150 and try to use Stock ROM libs for GPS but it's not working :(
On your screen with Maps (Post №759, Page №76) there are a GPS symbol in Status Bar (near "G" symbol), but it's not appeared for me all time, although GPS Test and GPS Status talk me, that GPS is enabled. And when I run Maps with GPS is enabled (Maps talk me, that GPS enabled too), I haven't this symbol also :(
Can I ask you to upload zip-file that you have flashed?

Maybe you can advise me something, because CM7 stable as rock and likely me...

In CM, check you have enabled GPS, and also that you have selected the Internal GPS in settings. There should be an icon, which looks like a target or a circle.

Thanks for the newer build.
Can I just flash through CWM without clearing cache and doing factory reset to retain my apps and data?

Yes, now GPS is worked and I have a blinking icon, when GPS is seeking and just "target in circle" when it's found!!!
I flashed Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2-PH06IMG.zip from Stock 1.33 and GPS start to work!
It seems to be that small hardware differences in ChaCha's for different markets and different date of manufacture required different Radio's for CM7 and OSR. And because carstenheuer has GPS worked with Radio_47.23.35.3033H_7.51.39.19-PH06IMG.zip, but GPS worked for me with Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2-PH06IMG.zip only!
And then one more question: I have second (black) ChaCha, but it's S-ON with unlocked HBOOT :(. If I'll make GoldCard for it, can I flash needed for GPS Radio version, or I must have S-OFF?

Hello, I have a question ... I have the CM7, I saw that when I go to choose the alarm, I can't also select a sound that is not the system .. well, I wanted to know if there is a how to choose a custom ringtone for the alarm. I tried to create a folder in the sd media> audio> alarm (as in the system folder), but does not work (tried it with files. Mp3 and. Ogg). Maybe you can not do, in this case does nothing, is not the end of the world Xd, or maybe I'm missing something ...?

PS: I take this opportunity to congratulate for this rom, it works great! I have not encountered any particular problem, except that the gallery takes a little 'to load the image, but it's the same beautiful =) and the fact that, unlike the stock rom, it does not read music files in WMA format (but simply convert them to. mp3), I just saw that the window animations seem to be slow, especially when running the music player, the first thing, with the stock rom, not the case. This said, there is always my favorite rom, congratulations to all developers =)

To install Radio, you must have S-OFF.

Hi,

I saw this phone at my local dealers and had a hands on with it.
I couldn't get it to bootloader because I forgot the key combo and the sales dude was eyeing me like a hawk.

Can Gtalk's video function work with the FFcamera on either CM or S-OSR?

I know the FFC is reported not working, but in what environment is it not working in?

It's not working at all. Exactly as if there were no frontal Cam unfortunately. Actually it's due to the fact that we are using libs from a stick HTC phone with no ffc. we already tried to use the one from the phone, with no luck :(

    Hello everyone!

    This topic contains all the development stages of custom ROMs, please read the full topic before asking any questions; refrain from asking silly questions/"questions that are easier to answer on Google than logging into XDA, browsing to HTC ChaCha, dev section, this thread, click on post reply, entering the question, clicking submit, waiting for someone to read and reply"/un-constructive feedback-criticism/anything unrelated to these two roms.

    In the order of their availability:

    NOTE: Give thanks and feedback to the developers. Install any of these roms for the purpose of testing and providing information/feedback in the thread. Neither of these are stable yet, they are experimental builds and this topic represents the simplest bug tracking database.


    Apparently users do not read the known issues list. FRONT CAMERA is NOT working. Do not switch to front camera, otherwise Camera.apk will crash constantly. To fix this go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage -> All -> Camera -> Clear data and cache -> Reboot your phone.

    I. SuperOSR by adlx.xda
    SuperOSR (OpenSourceRom and CM) based ROM: SuperOSR-chacha-2.5-20120724.zip - 83.13 MB
    Current version: 20120329-0005
    More information about the ROM HERE.

    Release notes for 1314
    - New kernel with swap enabled. it will also now mount correctly your sd-ext partition as ext4 (if formated as ext4, which is the how my CWM will format it).
    Release notes for 0159
    - FB key remap option in SupSetup/Parts
    - All the keypad fixes avail to date (only for unlocked users, S-Off will still need the patches)
    Release notes for 0513
    - Build is odexed --> I believe it is a significant gain of space in /data (now it will occupy <30 Mb after first start, leaving 120 Mb free)
    - Comes with all the keyboard kl/kcm.bin. (only usefull if S-On, bc S-Off lost their CID. If S-Off flash a keypad patch after the rom)
    - Removed bloat
    ​
    Tips and tricks, known issues and workarounds:
    1. Wi-Fi module is not connecting to hidden networks. - reported as fixed, router channel must be set <13
    2. Sometimes Wi-Fi will not connect to an AP after setting it up (Scanning -> Connecting -> Disconnected -> Scanning -> Connecting.. etc.). In this case press and hold the connection, remove it, create it again, then switch Wi-Fi off/on.
    3. I suggest performing the following if you still cannot connect to a visible Wi-Fi AP: Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Press menu button -> Advanced -> Regulatory domain -> 13 channels -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> Never
    4. Front camera is not working. In study.
    5. Default battery icon and percentage battery icon shown at the same time if activated from the CM settings. No workaround available yet.
    6. Facebook button is unassigned (does nothing). What should it open?​


    II. CyanogenMod (by xd.bx) since 19.01.2012 adlx.xda took over
    CM 7.2.0 (CyanogenMod) based ROM: DOWNLOAD Release No.: 20120321-2039

    These should be placed on your device to change your keyboard layout.

    Google Apps - Used for Google account (contacts/calendar sync); also contains GMail/Market. This is not included in the CM rom (by default, CyanogenMod does not contain Google services and applications; these can be added separately by users that want them). Remember that there are users who would like to remove everything Google related from their roms as there are some services which use internet/battery when they want and have dependencies with Google Contacts Sync/Calendar Sync/Gmail. Include requests of gapps into a custom ROM by default will be declined.

    Another thing has come to our attention: a new region-based model is out, the A810b.
    Do not flash any of the radios available around here as they are mostly based for the A810e model, which uses a different network bandwidth and a lot of issues might occur.

    For more information regarding GSM network frequency, check here: http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?
    This might also provide some information as to why 3G doesn't work, for example.

    Small adb kit
    For people that need adb without installing the whole SDK kit, adlx.xda provided a little bit of knowledge regarding this nifty little thing included in other applications.

    GPS fix
    For people out there without a working GPS on one of the two builds the fix is:
    1. Get a stock ROM.
    2. Go outside using a GPS application (like GPS Test from the Market)
    3. Wait until you get a fix and a location.
    4. Flash SuperOSR/CM.
    5. Redo step 2.

    working so far

    yesterday late I tried with xdbg's kernel, init.chacha.rc & bcm module and the TS worked. using his kernel I got to test more things:

    So far, in my build this is what I have tested:

    - Touchscreen: OK
    - Calls (with audio): OK
    - Data (3g): OK
    - Wifi: OK

    Doesn't work (yet):
    - Physical keyboard :( (I can get data from input device though)
    - leds and backlight, not well tested, but didn't seem to be working (it work manually though, by echoing in the /proc)
    - Camara
    - GPS
    - Sensors

    SMS, MMS: untested

    Hi.

    A couple of pointers/possible solutions:

    You must patch frameworks/base/include/ui/KeycodeLabels.h or remove the unknown keys from chacha-keypad.kl. I suspect other files must be patched as well, for example to make the 0 work.

    Check that you have lights.msm7k.so and also check the permissions in init.chacha.rc. You might need a newer lights than the one used in the Liberty.

    adlx.xda said:
    - Camara
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    I think the libcamera.so from HTC has a different API than CM7. Also you must uncomment PRODUCT_SPECIFIC_DEFINES += TARGET_PRELINKER_MAP... in your vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_chacha.mk.
    Check the libcameraservice source code. This problem could be slightly harder to fix.

    adlx.xda said:
    - GPS

    I think the radio is more recent than on the Liberty, hence the loc_api version will be higher. Try 20000 and 50000. Also try with the gps.chacha.so from stock ROM.

    adlx.xda said:
    - Sensors
    Click to expand...

    Try with a newer libsensors or sensors.chacha.so from stock ROM.
