[ROM][NIGHTLY] CyanogenMod 7 for vendor Vision (HTC Vision)

[fermunky]

Man, just came back to these roms after torturing myself with various ICS roms. Nice to have a snappy phone again, AND a working ".com" button!

Quick question since I am certainly not going to find it within the 12,325 posts prior to mine... I think I remember previuously being able to simply flash the new nightly over top of my current one, that still accurate?

Thanks for replying.

I've been doing the factory reset, cache partition wipe and dalvik wipe before every flash. I've just flashed once again without restoring any mybackup pro settings and the home button still doesn't do much. If I click on the clock, the home button closes it and takes me to the homescreen but any other app and the home button does nothing. Also a long press of the home button doesn't take me to recent apps. A bit strange.

It will properly format all your partitions for a fresh install of a new ROM. (Superwipe)

then flash the CM nightly followed by gapps. As soon as the phone boots and you gwy through the setup prompts, test your home button. CM should work fine with your phone.

I'd love to be able to test this but I've now got meXdroidMod installed, spent a few hours configuring it to my liking and it's running wonderfully well. I will, however, use Superwipe next time I experiement with CM7. Thank you

Interesting. I had a Q&A thread about going from ICS back to GB and someone mentioned formatting my partitions to ext4. Since I onyl really root my devices to do wifi hotspots, I did not remember doing anything special to get my partitions to ext4. However, mine were already. Is that because I have always used Superwipe when wanting to clear out my phone?

Ok, I think the kangs should be back on the usual schedule. I had some weirdness with repo that would cause the sync to hang forever. I saw there was a new version of repo available and all seems well after upgrading. We'll find out tonight. Of course, I'm travelling again this weekend, but I set up ssh before I left. If I read the commit properly, there should be a new version of busybox installed tonight.

A bit off topic, but I used to have an overnight virus scan run and my computer would email me the results. Every once in a while, the email command would get messed up and it would send the same email over and over and over... Of course, this happened one weekend when I was away, and I woke up with over 400 emails and it was still sending! I had ssh set up, so I was able to log in and stop the emails. I thought my isp was going to shut me down for spamming. I've since added a counter to the script to stop it if it starts to get out of hand.

Looks like official nightlies are getting built more regularly now. 7.2-RC3 is there too - http://cm-7-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision

Forgive my ignorance, but the kangs released on the same day that the "official" nightlies come out are generally the same thing, right?

But you can't download them at the moment.
@ gee one: please keep your cm7 server going

They should be. My script will repo sync at 12.01 central time, so any changes before that should be included. That being said, I'm a bit surprised to see RC3 is out, while the gingerbread source is still on RC1?? I think these are set with flags, so perhaps they are set manually for the RCs. I didn't see any updates to bump the RC version in the changelog/gerrit review.

Thank pfak for the server space. Every thing on my end is completely automatic as long as my computer is on and the internet is working.

This is quite curious... there seem to be three gingerbread branchs... gingerbread, gingerbread-release, and gb-release-7.2. The bump to RC3 is in the gb-release-7.2 branch. The change shows up in github, but not in the gerrit review.

I'm building the gingerbread branch, which seems to have most of the changes, but not the bump to RC3. Holler if anyone has any insight on what the different branches are for.

EDIT: and what's the deal with get.cm - I tried a few downloads and they were all empty files??? maybe I should see what's shaking on google+ :smart:

 

[gee one]

The latest nightly didn't upload. I'm correcting that now. It should be uploaded in an hour. It takes about 15 mins to build and 40 mins to upload. I guess my cpu is faster than my internet connection.

It seems like the output zip file changed names, which confused the script I use. It didn't find the file it was expecting so it skipped the upload. Everything else completed, inluding the clobber!

 

[fermunky]

Hmm, not sure if anyone else tried the rebuild or 467, but when I tried to flash the 467, mine hung at the HTC boot image. Restored without issue, but I may have to wait for a post 467 build.

 

[gee one]

The output zup file name changed- perhaps a few other things were changed too? Does the md5 hash match?

 

[gee one]

I'm trying something new tonight. I'm using the new "UNOFFICIAL" naming convention that has been committed recently. The file names will change to cm-7-<build-date>-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip, which is the file name that the build generates. I believe the build dates are based on UTC. I will also upload the md5 hash which the build spits out. I'll load the zip file first and the hash second, so when you see the hash, the zip file is already completed.

Also, it appears that the official cm7 is being built weekly and the downloads are working. The next build *might* be this Sunday, so we'll see what happens. I'll give it a few weeks to make sure things are actually going.

 

[fermunky]

Not sure if it is the same thing when installed, but I just flashed the nightly from June 10 and in About Phone, the build date says "Sun Jun 10 04:51:12 PDT 2012"

There are two dates in the about phone, the build date for the rom, and the date in the kernel build. The build date in the rom is in the /system/build.prop.

The official nightly from get.cm has the build date that you posted. In terminal, type "grep ro.build.date /system/build.prop" and you will see the actual build date. I'm not sure where the CM build farm is located, but they seem to have PDT as their local time zone.

Here's the jenkins output http://jenkins.cyanogenmod.com/view/All/job/android/2624/

Note the build time is xx:49:06, so the rom started building 2 mins later.

It looks like the cm-7 weeklies are running. If all goes well with the official cm-7, I'll probably stop building after the 6/24 build. The changes are trickling in and I suspect 7.2 stable is around the corner.

I should throw out a free ad for Audacity by the Andromadus team. It's pretty smooth and great for a daily driver. They are merging a lot of the cm-9 commits, so it feels a lot like cm ics. They are also using parts of the linaro kernel to speed things up.

But ICS has the wifi to data issue (after 2hours or more) for european users.
If you ignore that bug both andromadus or aokp is great (both are faster then cm7).

I may have to try the aokp then. I tried Andromadus and Audacity and ICS just seemed buggy and jerky. I gladly came back to CM7 after few months of torture.

I think andromadus/CM9 and aokp work much better, the wifi to data issue is solved (flash the european RIL).
