2 Quick Questions

1) If I hit cancel when I was going to install Google Apps, what's the method to bring up the process again other than flashing everything again?

2) Is there any way to get rid of the signal bars for calls? I don't remember it from the previous releases (or maybe I just never noticed it on my NC.)

Outstanding!

Now for a possibly stupid question. I upgraded to nightly 214 last night. Are there any significant differences between that and 7.1?

1. Just flash gapps. Only gapps.

2. A reboot or 2 usually clears that up.

It still seems to have the deep sleep issue, hung on me after 2 hrs of standby with the wifi on. Battery drained to zero too.

I should add that I didnt delete the data partition on upgrading, and had the issue beforehand.

Sleep of death is definitely still an active issue.

I'm using the program wakelock to see if it helps.

I posted on the standard CM7 thread as well, but yes, I also had an SOD this morning on 7.1.0. I've installed Wi-Fi Keep Alive for now from the market to see if that helps.

Battery life seems pretty epic.watched over 2 hours of video and still on 80%.. I wish err could lower the screen brightness add low as miui allows seems to reduce battery strain further when watching video.

I use quick settings to adjust many things including brightness. Most movie players (such as Mobo) also have gesture support to change brightness as the movie is playing.

Bummer... it seems it still crashes if you have too many apps installed to the SD card.
I wish more people experienced this, so maybe it might actually get fixed...

Oh well, looks like it's back to N136 for me...
