[Rom] CyanogenMod - Optimization is soooo last year [UPDATED 7/14 - v3.6.6]

[mdavidf]

Yes i did do a nandroid back up. Thanks for the quick response

I would and flash Cyanogen's 1.3.1 (Pimped Out Recovery Image on the 1st page) - it's phenomenal.

I'm sure this has been mentioned at least once per page for the entire thread, but for now... Yes, it is possible. I haven't wiped in weeks. CM upgrades usually go smoothly without wipes.

I vote that we ignore the repetitive questions and put a disclaimer that reads something like, "If your question gets ignore that means it's been answered at least 1,000 times - do some research!"

How do you use the exchange? I love your roms, but do not see an exchange option on the phone like on the Rogers version. I downloaded the mail.apk that gives exchange support, but does not sync calendar, please advise.

It was something that Cyanogen put into his ROM yesterday. The Exchange app is supported here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536727

Yes it does NOT support calender. Does everything else i believe

 

[bonanza87]

Dude, the mail.apk work email apk works with exchange email. I just wish it would work with the exchange calendar. I can live without contacts, but the calendar would be nice.

Also can I suggest an option to disable the 2 extra home screens? I only use 1 home screen for 4 key apps and my Voicemail widget. Also, If possible, is it possible to give the option to have 1 home screen? or is that not possible? Thanks.

Ummm what the hell....are you serious?

Loving the CM ROM, that being said, I am having a few issues. I'm having FC issues with the camcorder, but I don't use it much. Still having issues with the HTC on screen keyboard settings taking over the physical keyboard settings. Right hand shift and alt key not working when that happens and the auto caps correct feature stops working as well. Its rather annoying at times. I prefer the HTC version over the google on screen keyboard, its more accurate and easy to use. But it conflicts with the physical keyboard when settings are concerned, it treats the physical keyboard as the on screen version. As opposed to the original one, that kindly gets out of the way when you slide the phone open. The keyboard doesn't stay on the screen, but if you have the HTC word suggestion on, the HTC suggestion bubble will pop up at the bottom of the screen while typing on the physical keys, I don't have suggestion on for the physical keyboard. Its funny how it happens. Sometimes I will be a few words in typing and then the HTC kicks in, other times in the browser, it will start fine unless I scroll the page then need to tap the text field again to finish typing. Had this problem with 3.6.5 also. I guess the HTC version was never meant for devices with a physical keyboard. Some tweaks may be needed.

Just got a report from my GF that her bluetooth is not working properly. She has a car with the built in touch screen GPS and bluetooth. She can pair her phone to the car, and can use the screen to start a call, but there is no sound on both ends of the call. Same if someone calls her, it will ring in the car but no audio during a call. It worked fine before her phone was rooted. If I can't get it to work, I will need to go to another ROM or the official build on her phone. Its a big deal for her for it not to work.

you don't say...



I like that solution...



I'd rather have a fellow poster asking me to read than a moderator.

If your going to help than help but dont be a smart ass about it people like you get discarded by me

For the camera FC issues jsut download old camera.apk from 3.6.5 and do this, put it on your sdcard

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
cp Camera.apk /system/app
reboot

Do your research...use search...and now discard me too.

Can I replace the Camera.apk in the update.zip before flashing

Can I not just copy the Camera.apk file into the new update.zip file and then flash?

 

[dthadamaja]

thats what i did, just make sure you sign your update

If you have to use Outlook (spit!) there's a semi-solution that works really well for me. Simply use Google's Calendar Sync to keep your Google and Exchange calendars synchronised.

 

[angelogiuffrida]

Yeah I loved this plugin when I used to use Outlook. Thank God I've made the full migration over to the web-based applications.

Never looking back now!

Not worried about the camcorder, the still camera works fine, but I would like to put the audio resources back into system/media. Would that remount command allow me to move the files from my sd card to the /system/media directory? I tried before but I don't think I typed with proper parameters.

That would be nice.

Now if we can figure out the keyboard problem I mentioned, and the bluetooth thing.

Yes, that remount should work for that.

Thats what themes are for. to customize, customize, customize.
