Same Problem : once you switch to "front" camera, it FC always. Your solution helps...

it is an impression or flashlight also does not work ?

Why would you switch to front camera if OP clearly states as a known issue that front camera does not work? The whole OP feels a bit useless...

Why switch to front camera... perhaps because there is a button to do so and it was not obvious for me that it would switch can :) sorry for the op...

Yet i have an issue and no way to work around... and found no statement about it here... it is impossible for me to install the 'voice search... well it installs but FC as soon as i use it... anybody has this problem?

Voice search by Google? You might also need a TTS module installed (like PicoTTS).

CM7 Flashlight Battery bar button (the one that can be put next to wifi, bluetooth, data, etc enable/disable buttons) doesn't work, with Normal or High flash settings. I'm using a flashlight app that works, but would like to use the button on the bar.

Text reading is completely fine

in MAPS : voice search and reading works fine

but when I use "voice search" (to make a normal search via voice) it FC

I noted that any "one word" works... it displays the word... but starting 2 words, it always FC. Memory available is rather good (230Mo more or less at any time) so I don't think this is the problem ?



I am also looking for a way to use "voice composition" for SMS under Cyanogen ? there is (was) a shortcut button for this on the keyboard which put automatically in "voice input" on any part I was to write texte under original ROM, while driving it is very usefull to make a calendar entry, send a quick sms etc... any clue how to have a similar (or same) function back ? :(

Hi, I had some other questions. Is there any way to enable live wallpapers ? And are you working on the front camera or did you stop working on it (or don't have time to work on it) ? Thanks in advance for your answers :) !

I think no. I have two phones (black and white) and both had not working GPS after flashing CM7 only. I flash Radio (or Base) module and GPS start to work in White ChaCha (it's S-OFF), but I try different things for my black chacha (I try flash CWM Recovery from white and so on), but GPS was not working anymore. Black was S-ON, I made it S-OFF for 10 bucks and flashed CM7 only - GPS not working. I flash Radio only (from 1.54 stock rom) and GPS start to work!
I don't know why, but GPS start work when I flashed Radio AFTER flashed CM7.

Hello,

I've just installed SuperOSR and its looking GREAT. I'm seeing strange behavior of the touchscreen sometimes. It happened two times today and it just stops working at all. Any idea why is this happening? I couldn't find anything with the search and decided to write a reply :(

I have a Thai model which replace tab/* key with E/T/* key (change keyboard layout between Thai and English). When I use both SuperOSR and CM7, even my flash the keyboard fix, I can't use this key to switch the layout. I tried to find system software in my phone and I found this. Maybe it is the apps to switch the layout. Thanks for everyone who can incorporate this apk to rom.

PS. Or can ณ extract them with Titanium backup, install SuperOSR or CM7 and then restore it back to enable ability to switch layout?

    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.

    Radio - for people having GPS issues (unable to find sats/get a fix)

    A810b
    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:

    - Physical keyboard :( (I can get data from input device though)

    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.

    - leds and backlight, not well tested, but didn't seem to be working (it work manually though, by echoing in the /proc)

    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.


    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.


    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.


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