CM7 Alpha 1 Bug Thread

I thought it'd be a good idea to make a thread where people post their bugs they're getting from the newly released cm7 alpha. I don't have cm7 myself yet, but I plan to so I think this thread would be useful to those who are thinking about trying it, and the CM team.
Thank you.

KNOWN BUGS
Apps such as Juice Defender, Angry Birds, ROM Manager, and Cordy do not work.
Backup and Restoring with GAAPS has some issues for users.
Videos from SD card will not play
Status Bar force close when receiving MMS
In-Call volume is unadjustable
Physical left & right arrow keys reversed [FIX] http://efragtv.com/android/cm7/keylayout-fix-cm7a1.zip
Full Screen Mode in Browser covers the Status Bar
Volume Levels low even when Maxed [NOT CONFIRMED YET]
I think that's all of them; PM me if I missed anything

Wiped Data/Cache 4 or 5 times. I do it more than I should just to make sure i get it..and im to lazy to count.
Flashed the Rom, Flashed GAPPS. Put it my gmail info. Checked a few boxes to download facebook, twitters, Maps, and such automagically... and after clicking install on all the market apps, I seem to be stuck on the "Backup and Restore" page...Been here for about 20 minutes. Now I know this works by downloading all of my apps again for me...but I think we should probably be able to get passed this point without waiting for 100 apps to download...
Not sure if I really am stuck or if its just taking its sweet time downloading my apps. I only have 2 bars and its kind of slow at work, but i really don't want to type a WEP key in right now for WiFi.

Why not just post bugs in its own thread? The one in the development section

Sounds like the built in restore function takes a while and helps if you are wifi after you wipe.

I restored gapps and it didn't take longer than any normal operation.

Startup was slightly confusing because of the extra steps, but so far I'm bug free! I like it so far. I was playing with the customizations all for hours last night after installing.
EDIT: I forgot about one small problem. Juice defender widget seemed kinda hit or miss with turning data off. Never had trouble with syndicate.
2nd EDIT: Juice Defender doesn't work well with gingerbread yet.

If you re boot to recovery it will just hang at samsungmobile screen. Pulled battery rebooted 3 finger to cwm3 then wiped cach and dalvik and rebooed fine.

when you check full screen mode in the browser settings and then open a link up or load a page, theres a glitch in the top part of the browser where the status bar is supposed to be

I want to add, really quick, that the more you guys tweak your installation of the ROM the harder it is for us to pinpoint problems. Different apps, themes, tweaks, et cetera can break things that are known to work. Since we're trying to get the base system working, please only report bugs if you are mostly clean (apps are fine, obviously) and if it is directly related to the ROM itself.
EDIT: And as I've said in a previous thread, DO NOT restore data from a previous EB13 ROM. This isn't the ROMs you're used to. If you fail to fllow this step, your bug reports will be ignored. I don't mean to sound rude or whatever, but it doesn't help anyone if we're following false leads.

I've restored apps only. I don't backup system data for that reason.

You can use the power widget for CM and just turn data on and off when you'd like to use it. Juice defender provably wont work with Gingerbread for a while until it comes out as a more mainstream Android OS.

The backup and restore that had me locked down for 35 minutes was not the Recovery Backup and Restore, it was the Android Backup and Restore right after selecting which applications you want to be automatically installed.
I ended up doing a battery pull because I needed to use the phone, after it rebooted I skipped the google account sign in and avoid this all together.
I was able to sign in after launching the market for the first time without any issue though.
Also on a side note, after I am up and running, I am trying to get the HoneyComb music app to work. .

Alright, so let me get this straight...
DO NOT restore apps w/ saved data, or do not restore system apps?
Also, things like this and the extra instructions you need to flash this ROM, gives more reason, and I've said it before, to show a video/tutorial from a person starting from stock EB13, to rooting, to flashing. I've seen lots of tutorials for the evo, and I'm sure it'll clear up a lot of mistakes.
In addition, if more people follow the video correctly, less bugs about improper flashing/restoring will be mentioned, and more bugs about the actual software will be more focused on, and help the devs see exactly what's wrong with the system, and not what the person did to flash the ROM.
I hope someone takes my advice, and that a video will be demonstrated on how to do this.
I would make a video myself, but not confident enough to flash cm7 quite yet.

Oh no no, it's basically like flashing any rom. If you're on a rooted EB13 all you have to do is wipe data 3x wipe cache and dalvik cache and install the zip file. It works as any rom all you have to do is wipe and put another rom on if you grow bored of this one. And use my backup pro to backup data from your app and restore it that way so that it's not something which is damaging to your phone as a whole.

According to Dameon it works on both RFS and EXT4 so whichever clockwork you have should be fine. People were trying to restore EB13 NAND backups onto CM7 I believe as well as applications which rely on frameworks which are not present. But I would say make a NAND Back up and have a stock EB13 update.zip or have the tar for Odin, just the usual procedure if you think you revert and really just use that if you feel like reverting or going back to a rom as a failsafe. Whatever you're comfortable with using.

My Apps Missing From Android Market

This morning, I decided to look at the 'My Apps' list through Android Market to see if I had anything to update. Typically there are about 20 apps to look at. Now there are only 3. I am running a stock Epic. I powered cycled the phone thinking it might have been a glitch. Same problem still occurring. Has anyone had this happen to them?
sent from my go-go Gadget phone

Indeed it did, and the issue lasted for a long time and I have no idea why. But I *may* have done a few things which helped fix it and perhaps Google was also at fault on their end, because the issue resolved and never came back (yet). Here's what helped:
-in the Market, download a program which clears your cache. 2 I use are Apps2SD and AntTek App Manager (requires root). The AntTek one is used less often because it clears more caches at a deeper level, but you may want to try it. First:
-go to phone settings/applications/manage applications. Find the Market app and clear both cache and data. You will receive a warning, but don't worry, all you'll need to do is accept Market terms and conditions again when launching. But don't launch Market yet.
-now, clear cache using the apps I suggested or maybe one or more of your own choice.
-launch Market again, accept T+C and now you hopefully will have all your apps back. The problem may reoccur but somehow I doubt your phone is at fault if it does. Eventually a combination of what you do and whatever the big G does may solve it like I think it did with me. Good luck.

Thanks!

Also should have said that your suggestion about app2sd worked.

Glad it helped. It would be nice if it was only a one-time event for you, unlike it was for me (about a dozen). Maybe (haha) this upcoming new version of the Market will be more *reliable* too.

That has happened a few times to me. I usually have to remove the battery to get them to show up again

I've also found that if you search for them and select or update them, usually they repopulate. It happens a lot to me when I flash the rom when restoring a nandroid backup.

Hi guys,
I used several roms lately Juwe and jingereal JVQ.
In all roms I used the phone dialer application self exit to launcher when I push 4 or 5 numbers.
Anyone experience such weird behavior?
Any help?
Thank you
Andrea

i've had a similar issue with the keypad as well and a few times when I have opened clicked the call log tab; both would just close and bring me back to desktop/homescreen...not sure why either. I've also had a few dropped calls (tried both KC1 and KG3 modems)
edit: other than root, I'm on stock JVQ with KC1/KG3 modem

i'm beginning to wonder if this has to do with the launcher i'm using as I've only recently started to use GoLauncher (used to use LauncherPro)

update: nope...doesn't seem to have to do with the launcher

This is happening to me now on JVS (found this with search). Phone just closes, no force close dialog it just kicks back to home screen.

I think I solved it!
Used Titanium Backup (f*** is there anything that program can't do? cleaning dalvik cache with it also fixes android OS drain!) to wipe data from Phone app (after backing it up first just in case).
Tested it out about 10 times opening it, switching tabs, dialing numbers..before it would've quit 8 of 10 times but now not a problem.

cleaning dalvik eh?...i'll try that later.

Yes I forgot who put me on to that but it has worked all 3 times that I have tried it after a flash to kill android os drain, twice on 2.3.3 and lastly on 2.3.5. Do it and then restart.

I must give u a big Thanks!
This is a very annoying problem and it seems to be quite random that I originally did not think that I can find the solution when I searched this issue in google.
Thank you and this solved my issue!
*EDIT*
I just found that I have this issue in my Whatsapp as well. When I browse the contact list in Whatsapp, when i scroll down the list to about 1/3 what's app will close automatically...... Should I erase the data of Whatsapp as well?

Yep tap on Phone in the app list in Titanium and hit 'wipe data'.

For me, the problem disappears if I simply reboot phone.

Hard lag

I've been using Mint Jelly for a few months now. But lately I've been having a slight delay in my home button.
Whenever I hit home from any app, my screen will show the wallpaper and then after a second, load the home apps. This also happens when I'm simply backing out of an app, so it's not limited to home button only.
I disabled s voice but that didn't solve it. Any one else had this happen?

Just give her the ol' cache and dalvik cache wipe in recovery and reboot. See if that simple drill fixes your issue. Cheers

Welp, sorry for the late reply. Thank you, and I just wiped it. I am waiting for it to finish "upgrading" now and test it out. I don't think it was the rom, but some things started messing up for me.
for example, Quick Pic stopped responding and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. It never was a problem app for me and shouldn't have froze my phone the way it did.
Any recommended, non CM roms around lately? So many to choose from and I like to just stick to one at a time.
Edit: well, looks like that did the trick. Thank you!

Facebook crash on Android P

Every time I click on the comment button of a post the Facebook app crashes. Anyone else with the same issue?

With as crappy as the coding on Facebooks app is who knows. I have not seen this and I am on 9

Hmm, discouraging. I've cleared cache, deleted data, uninstalled and installed the app to no avail.
I am on totally stock unrooted 9

I am having similar lockups on multiple apps. Stock-unrooted aug 6 build of P and I tried a full device reset.

Not seeing any app issues same release of P ...hmm have you done a cache clear on the device? Meaning the os not indevidual apps.

I get exactly the same thing on my stock Pixel 2 XL since upgrading to Pie. However, it works fine on a Pixel 1.
I've tried uninstalling FB and re-installing and no joy.
The Facebook Lite app works ok, but that's garbage and doesn't have all the functionality I need.

Being out of the scene for a while, how do you delete the dalvic cache... ie how do you put the PH-1 in recovery, and do you have the delete cache in stock recovery?
Edit : I did put the phone in recovery mode but, as I expected, the stock recovery image does not have the delete cache option like a custom recovery. Hmm surprised to read that not even a factory reset solved the issue.

I've never used the FB app. Who knows what it is doing when you aren't using it, even if it is closed/stopped.
Better way...open your browser, instead of going to www.facebook.com, go to www.m.facebook.com which
loads the mobile version, and in your browser settings, you can always use the desktop version if needed.

More likely an issue with your Facebook account. Facebook has AI doing code corrections all the time in the background. They also sometimes fubar stuff and then correct it a couple of days later. This has happened to my account more than once.

Mystery of Technology... LOL, no, more like Bugs of Technology, and Pie just came out, so expect plenty of them until it matures a bit...
