I can see why you might say that. But I was thinking about how easy that would be to abuse. Just fake your own wifi and free minutes everywhere you have 3g? Lmao it can't be that simple, can it?

Its not for your home WiFi. Its for ANY WiFi. At starbucks, or at ur neighbors, its all good. Not sure if its being taken advantage of because I don't think it would be a simple hack... but I'm sure it'll be done.

I think offering free WiFi calling for any supported device has 2 effects:
1) People get good service at home (less complaints) + good publicity for T-mo
2) More people are on WiFi for calls, so they're no longer using 3G for data either. Less stress on T-mo towers.

FWIW the new WiFi calling app is different from the old one, with new dialoges and changed fonts, but the status bar icon still says "WiFi calling uses plan minutes". Not sure if I need to call T-mo too...

OH: and MMS works fine.

A few observations on #78. First thing i noticed is that the 1017 MHz clock speed is no longer available as an option. Also I noticed that USB debugging does not seem to be working. Notify is checked but I did not get the notification on either my XP machine nor my Win 7 laptop. That said USB tether as well as WiFi hotspot are also not working.

Other than these issues the phone is running great. Everything is quick and responsive and I look forward to this being fully functional.

If you don't mind, please let me know if you guys are having better luck with any of my issues or if you are experiencing the same results. I'm just curious.

also noticed lack of 1017 mhz clock option. Probably collateral damage from all the kernel changes.

WiFi tether works fine with my Xoom and MacBook Pro.

msm7x30-common: Add USB accessory support
What in the world does this mean??

New stuff coming from Google. Search for Google IO USB accessory. Basically new tricks to avoid having your phone be a USB host when an accessory is plugged in. The accessory acts as the host and the two communicate via a new Google protocol.

Just as a general warning, DO NOT install any other kernels until they rebase to 2.6.35. That is if you want stability. I'm booting it now..
Click to expand...

Are you sure no other kernels will work (eg. Pershoots latest 2.6.32.40) or are you just assuming that? Given the kernel commits immediately after the build and people stating the lack of the 1017Mhz option, I'm assuming the included kernel will be buggy.

Um... Does anyone have gps these days?
So my device was at a temperature of 105f after an hour of standby with the new kernel.
I've decided to revert back to the pershoot kernel I've been using since the 13th.
If anyone is having excessive battery drain issues and/or excessive heat, I think it would be a good idea to do the same. Everything works as it should with the pershoot kernel so don't assume it won't...

I'm sure the wifi calling does not use plan minutes (if you have it enabled), would just like the app to reflect that. No biggie.

The app probably can't check your account settings to see if it's enabled for you.

I'm thinking it's a CYA thing. You don't want people to just assume they're getting free wifi calling when in fact it's using plan minutes.

I checked in spare parts and sure enough it shows running at 100%....I knew my battery was draining fast after upgrading last night.

Hopefully it'll get sorted out for the next nightly.

I went crazy over this myself. I ended up just downloading Eugene's stock gingerbread launcher and installing it like any other app and selecting it as default. Problem solved

I've worked out the Gmail battery drain problem & a sort of fix.

I noticed if I had mail sat in the inbox the service would constantly sync & hence the bad battery life, if you make sure you archive them emails then it stops syncing & all is well! :)

I now this is a half-ass solution but at lest I've found away around the battery drain :)

    Have a question or an issue? Try this before asking something silly:

    ​


    This thread is reserve for nightly build of @Cyanogen Mod Rom for HTC Vision
    You can report and discuss all issue you are having with nightly build here.

    What are Nightly build ? : auto compil build from the CyanogenMod github, each time there are new corrections on it. This version change each night, and aren't support officialy, if you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here.

    Warning : Not for new user, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!

    There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps from his roms, after flashing rom don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it.

    Gfree is needed to flash a Rom onto your phone!!!!
    or
    Perm Root with hboot-eng.....is needed to flash a custom ROM (still REQUIRED for the moment):

    Lastest version:
    Download: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vision
    MD5Sum: check the md5 under the files named associate with your build version

    Google Addon: 20110828: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
    Check the lastest package available on top

    Recovery needed: 3.0+
    vision-cwm3src3.0.0.5-1-16-11.img

    Rename the .img to recovery.img and have it on the root of the sdcard

    For reference-More detailed
    Code: 
    su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
    Wanna follow current modifications to builds?? http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:open,n,z

    Work In Progress F.A.Q.

    Work In Progress F.A.Q.


    No this ROM is NOT an official stable. No support other than community is offered for it so if you cannot live without the features that aren't available, keep the stock ROM. If you ask questions that are covered here then you will be ridiculed relentlessly and admonished, you've been warned.

    An important thing to remember is that this is an ALPHA, and as such has some issues which can't be foreseen, others that are actively being worked, and some that have work arounds.​

    If you are asking yourself the following questions, rethink this, learn some more, then come back:
    What is root?
    What is a recovery?
    What is Cyanogenmod?

    What works (besides the obvious stuff):
    Most things
    Wifi
    Bluetooth
    Wifi Calling
    Wifi tether (built-in or third party)

    What doesn't work:
    None at this moment

    Common issues and FAQs:

    • Recovery version issues:
    You MUST use Clockworkmod recovery v3.x. You CANNOT use recovery versions 2.5.x and below as Android 2.2 used ext3 file structure and Android 2.3 uses ext4. If you ask why you can't flash this ROM and you are using Clockwork 2.x, you will be ridiculed relentlessly for not reading thoroughly.

    Clockworkmod is the official recovery supported by Cyanogenmod. However, since this is an alpha release, the current 3.x version of Clockworkmod is a little buggy while it's still in development.

    If you wish to flash back to Android 2.2, you MUST flash Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.x or below (or compatible). If you try to flash a Android 2.2 version ROM with recovery 3.x, it WILL NOT work!!!


    • Wifi Not Working
    Reboot
    • If you are sending or receiving blurry photos:
    Open Messenger->Settings->Custom User Agent->select Default Android

    • Trackpad wake:
    This is currently a hack developed by the CM team while they find a permanent solution. Consequently, it causes some unexpected behavior sometimes. But it mostly works.
    Menu->Settings->CyanogenMod settings->Input settings->select Trackball wake

    • CRT (cathode ray tube) Screen-on/Screen-off animations:
    In progress of being added

     Menu->Settings->CyanogenMod settings->User interface->Screen-on animation/screen-off animation

    • How do I set up ADB/Fastboot?
    See thread here for Windows 7:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897368

    See thread here for Linux:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537508

    Generalized Windows info:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500196

    • How can I compile Cyanogenmod for myself?
    See gridlock32404's post here:
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915435

    • My [insert favorite app name] doesn't work right, what are you going to do about it?
    Probably nothing. If it isn't Cyanogenmod's then they don't offer direct support for it, generally just service level issues that may need code changes. In CM7, it's based off Android 2.3 which some developers haven't offered full support for. Officially there's only one phone running 2.3, the Samsung Nexus S. Some known non-working apps include, but are not limited to:
    Quadrant Standard

    • How do I install boot animations/boot splash/any other add on?
    See other threads in the theme section.

    • What if I'm having random issues such as freezing, stuttering, force closes, or anything else?
    Try these steps before posting a question about any issues to see if any of them fix it:
    1. Reboot
    2. Perform fix permissions, from recovery mode
    3. Do a nandroid backup and then perform a complete data/factory wipe and flash again
    4. Politely ask if anyone has had this issue in the thread

    • Do any overclock (OC) kernels work with this?
    There are a few in this thread. Be warned that the CM team offers no support whatsoever for these kernels, you must ask the dev of that particular kernel about any issues you have.

    • What settings should I use in SetCPU?
    There's really no reason to overclock your phone on a regular basis, so your safe bet is at a minimum:
    Max: 1017, Min: 245, Scaling: ondemand
    Screen-off: Max:768, Min. 245, Scaling: ondemand

    • I can't find my random issue/concern/question in this faq, what do I do now?
    First, try the “search this thread” function at the top of the screen. Then try a quick google search with the device name and a general idea of what's wrong, it will probably point you back at this thread. Then do what any good tinkerer does and play around with different things and read up a little bit. If none of these gives you any results, politely ask the question on the thread and wait patiently for someone to answer who may have the same problem. It is no one's responsibility to support you in any way. After all, you bought the phone and then started screwing with it. The least you can do is be patient and try to solve the problem yourself. Who knows, you might learn something and be able to help someone else out.

    I'm syncing the t9 changes and building.... I'll update after it's uploaded.

    This includes gingerbread commits up to Change I5867f82b: Dialpad: T9 Dialer - Fixes

    The dialer layout is better. It seems as if it stays in portrait mode unless you open the keyboard. It might be my rotation settings?

    New Server - http://crash.pfak.org/~gee_one/
    ####

    FYI about the kanged nightlies- pfak offered to host these on his server, which has a faster download speed. The new download page will be http://crash.pfak.org/~gee_one/

    Tonight's nightly (build 331) will be hosted there.

    One restriction is file space, so there will only be a few weeks worth of nightlies and older ones will automatically be deleted. Since these are nightlies, I don't see a strong reason to keep older versions unless the builds start to break.

    Be sure to thank Niksie for offering his server space and check out the other offerings he has on his site. I will miss the download counter- it was nice to see the activity.

    CM9 progress update from http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update

    Good to see MSM7x30 in the list of probable initial devices, that's us ! :)

    Also, 7.2 is still coming.


    We’ve been hard at work on CM9 since Google released Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) into the wild last month, and things are slowly starting to come together. Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations. A number of devices are already up and running with CM9, and the focus is currently on getting as many devices ready as we can. The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos. We also have some Tegra2 tablets in the pipeline such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer. Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan. And sorry Droid1 owners, we’re dropping support for you. Time to upgrade

    There are a number of challenges that we are up against. Google has made some pretty major changes to the Android framework that break compatibility with older proprietary camera and graphics drivers in order to achieve some pretty insane performance, but I am confident that the team will be able to overcome these issues like we have in the past.

    For those of you who like to build CM from source yourself, you probably know that the spin-up time when starting a CM7 build is absurdly long due to the high number of devices in our repository. Koush and Arcee have put together a solution to this problem that adds new devices on-demand to your local repository, saving on both bandwidth and the long startup time. Some other great enhancements are coming too, like a completely overhauled music app, a new file manager, and a new launcher based on stock 4.0.

    If you have a Nexus S, you can check out the code and build for yourself today. More devices are on the way, and I’ll send out these status updates as we make more progress.
