i have just taken the plunge into cyanogen because of the OTA updates and with 7.0.3.1 they have fixed the GPS. this is a hugely important feature for me as I use gps to track my training logs on SportyPal. The gps works, but not great, and not as quickly as it did in sense and this affects the accuracy of recorded speed and distance.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the polling rate somewhere in the settings of cyanogen?
the examples i can offer are
sense polling - about 3-5secs apart
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
cyanogen polling - about 30sec to 1 min apart
these were taken only one day apart and the only difference is cyanogen.
thanks for any help!
You could try a different gps driver like this one and see if it polls more often? As far as I know, there is no way to currently configure the polling time.

Yeah I sent a PM to the guy suggesting he try to merge these drivers into cyanogen.

It has been asked here and there over this forum, but this is the main area, so its better to ask here...
Any way we can get the rom to extract a cab or something? I dont think its hardware dependent, so it should work on our machines...
Anybody...?
PS: I think the iphone came and slap M$ and all the ppc makers right on the face with its 200mhz machines since 2003 and 64/128 low ram micro upgrades...
Now these great plugins start showing up here and there and machines suddently have 4 gb of rom, finally some long-awaited REAL upgrades!
I wonder if the rotation animations can be ported i mean even though you may not have a accelerometer it my still hide the usual lag.
Actually I was refering only to the gadgets...
The diamond album was easily re-used by other htc's, but you couldnt turn the images because you had no accelarometer, it worked fine without anyway...

Agreed! The way the screen changes orientation is slick.
its cool..oh man why nowadays peoples brain are getting smarter..always out with something new
I know some people don't believe in benchmarks for Android, so take it for what it's worth. To me, the results have been somewhat on point, in terms of the speed of the ROM. I will be updating this as more ROMs come out, but if anyone wants another ROM tested, just let me know.
About the benchmarks...
- All test were done after a clean flash of the ROM.
- ROM was never signed into Google.
- Only apps installed were Advanced Task Manager, SetCPU and Swapper(and benchmark apps).
- All test were done while in Airplane Mode(to cut down on background network activity).
- Ended all processes before running each test.
- Alls ROMs(except the Hero ROMs) had Swap/Compcache disabled and CPU set at 384min/528max.
- Hero ROMs were set with 96MB swap and CPU set at 384min/528max.
- The results here are from the best of 5 runs. I did not want to take the average because there were some inconsistent results that would have thrown it off.
Lower = Faster only for the first test.

It really doesnt take that long. Just flash the new test ROM, batch install a few apps, run the test, then nandroid back to my everyday ROM.

Is faster lower on all 3 tests or just on the first one?

Just the first one is lower=faster.
I was thinking about either me or someone else starting a test to compare all the ROMs. This way people can just look and compare to see what ROM they want, whether it be for performance, battery, ect. I was think about creating something like the attached table on how to compare the ROMs and was wondering would this cover everything? And would anyone like to help?
additional details on test:
The ROMs will have nothing installed them except SETCPU
All ROMs will be using sense except CM6
ROMS that have preset profiles can will be used e.g. DC battery profile during the battery test, but this will also be noted in additional details

If you do, share your results with ROM Watch, it'd be a good matrix to include somewhere, especially if you do a "what works/what doesn't" thing.

Yea I have a section on the spread sheet that contains features that work. All I have under it so far is Camera, 4G, Bluetooth. But will put more columns on if anyone has any suggestions.
I believe they are all going to be pretty much similiar for the moment. CM6 might be the most different since it is built from the ground up while the other ones are all built on the same thing.
Is anyone interested in helping me test some of the ROMs?
Hey everyone-
I'm asking for help from anyone who's willing to. I don't care if it's not normal for "devs" to ask everyone else for help, this is a community and we thrive on helping one another (by the way, I'm no dev).
Here's my situation: I have the next SkinnyEvo rom ready to be released. It's awesome. The only thing holding me back is a 'flickering' of system animations.
I've attached pictures so you can see what I'm talking about - notice the horizontal lines in the battery status when it's charging, or the downloading icon when using the market. It also happens when typing, scrolling text (like music), the launcher, and even some widgets when simply sitting on the homescreen.
From what I've been able to find, this 'flickering' issue used to be common back before I was involved with the HD2. It may seem like a small issue, but after a day of glitchy animations, you'll go crazy.
I've tried different kernels (only hastarins) and many other things.. but I would like to open it up to other suggestions so we can get this rom released! If you would like the rom "as is" to troubleshoot on your own, PM me and I will provide a link for you.
Thanks a bunch!

Well thanks to you both then. That did the trick Much appreciated!
Is it possible to get the mobile signal strength on GT 7.7
I had try lots of ways but can't successful.
What you mean "get"? To get it as a function in your own app's code or just you want to see it?
Turn off WiFi and you'll see strength bars in notification popup (on the place where you usually see WiFi signal bars).
There are plenty of apps like this one that display signal info:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cellsignaltester.moby
You can also get that in the About page of the device settings. What exactly are you after?
nooooo, use this one instead, this Widget is better

It's all the same data obtained from the phone. A widget tends to suck battery and performance so that's why I recommended a simpler app. Since there are a ton of them, it's really incumbent on the end user to decide what they like.
All of that apps doesn't work on SGS2/Tab7.7 (Exynos-based chipsets).
No, they work (run), but unable to show correct signal level due to a "bug" in modem FW. They always show +85dbm. So the only way to see correct signal strength is the system signal meter in statusbar.
Any way to update the modem driver to fix the Bug ?

Don't think so. Samsung does not care about it - still not fixed even on SGS2, which is already on the market for a long time. Maybe it will be fixed with ICS release, nobody knows.
