Hello,
I'm a new member and since I do not currently have 10 posts yet, I cannot post in the Android Dev Forum. stupid rule IMO. So I am creating a new topic to make the bugs I have found known since I have not seen anyone talk about them in the dev forum.
*MODS* If you could move this topic into the dev forum that would be great!
Nexus S running Cm7 Rc1 with Netarchy 1.2.1 kernel. Great work guys!
Bugs:
1. When taking pictures in a dark room, the flash is not timed correctly. The flash lights up then turns off before the picture is captured. ( this happens about every other picture I take)
2. Lots of random reboots when doing cpu dependent tasks.
3. When saving pictures from MMS, pictures do not copy to SD. I've tried rebooting and re saving the photo's.
4. Apps freeze up and FC when started. It seems to be a different app every time I reboot the phone and it doesn't always happen.
5. Wifi is semi-broken. Sometimes it works fine, other times it will try to connect but fail. Under wifi it says connecting like its going to work but then just says disconnected.
I will post more bugs as I find them. Others are welcome to post bugs as well and I will update the list of bugs in my original post.
Thanks for all the hard work with the ROM and Kernel development!
Just a question, did you do a complete wipe before installing the rom?
Running the ROM with same Kernal for 24 hours and not had a single reboot or force close.
WiFi also working fine.
Haven't tested for the other bugs .
I haven't had a random reboot, frozen app or broken wifi yet but I do have the flash timing issue.
I had a baseband crash 2 hours after I installed CM7. Back on stock for now

1. works properly over here. when taking a pic with flash, there is a preflash first, then it focuses, flashes again and takes a pic.
2. whats your phone clocked to(setcpu)? is it overclocked? maybe your phone cant handle the overclock?
3. long press, press save attachment worked for me.
4. no problem like that
5. wifi works here. on the latest cm7 nightly with netarchys 1.2.4
Been running RC1 since it came out and haven't had but one random reboot. Wifi works perfectly, cell and data radios work perfectly, battery life is great, theme looks great, loving it. Seems like you're in the minority here lol
I haven't really experienced any of those problems actually.
Faced none of your issues although for me, if i get a random reboot due to overclocking my limit, my android.phone performs a force closed and i'm not able to have any cell signal until i do a wipe and to restore everything from my titanium backup.
Doing a nandroid restore doesn't help as well. Strange indeed.
you are running a outdated version of the kernel (1.2.1) 1.2.2 is the new stable version, and 1.2.4 is the latest beta. It could conflict with a newer version of CM7 (speculating).
Try wiping factory settings, cache and dalvik. Then reflash CM7 + gapps.
Not facing any of these problems, and this post wouldn't go into the dev forums at all.
i found a HUGE bug in cyanogenmod7 effecting all phone models. this might make ppl rethink using CM7. the info is posted here http://goo.gl/AZDtZ
I did a full data wipe and wipe Dalvik cache and almost all issues have been taken care of.
I still get lots of random reboots tho, I have switched to a stock kernel to rule out the OC.
Thanks for all the input
what exactly is the point of using CM7?

More customization, better performance, deodexed rom for theming, larger developer base, better features (power controls in the dropdown, more options for lockscreen...), support for Bluetooth input devices like the wiimote...do I need to keep going?

When I have rooted my phone and then booted into stock ROM I have faced with nonworking wifi and camera. Then I have installed CM7, and problems with wifi and camera fixed.

Everytime you change a theme using theme manager it changes all your ringtones to default ones.

1. Custom Lock Screens
2. Edit Auto Light settings ( when system is set to Auto Brightness )
3. Enable Quiet hours so your phone will never ring out loud between set hours e.g 11pm - 6am
4. Music Control from lockscreen
5. Notifications area Power controls e.g WIFI / GPRS / SOUND
6. Faster Phone Speed in general
7. Sound Tweeks ( Boost Notifications / Ringtone / Speaker Phone )
8. Ability to use Voodoo sound and EXT4 hacks ( with custom kernals )
9. Better Battery Life ( further improved by lowering Light settings and disabling V/A settings )
10. Haptic feedback improvments
11. long press buttons settings ( I.E long press home and launch an app e.c.t )
12. Rom manager allows you to back up your whole system and Titanium backup allows you to back up all your apps and system data.
Hey all. I do not know any reports about this so I wanted to make a thread revolving around it.
I do not go out much and have bad data plan, so at home I really lie using Wifi, or anywhere where a spot is available. I noticed now though that after activating the wifi, it can take time, but every so often the wifi would still be connected, but all data moveent halts, as if clogged hole, hence description of the problem. After you close and open wifi connection and it reconnects, everything goes fine until next clogging.
Is this problem specific to me only, anyone else noticed this?
Is this problem 2.3.5 and .35 kernel specific? Is anyone on 2.2 froyo and .32 kernel having this problem?
Custom roms: does current MIUI for example suffer from this?
I am trying to find something abou this, if it is U8800 harware specific problm, then I just continue dealing with it, but if it is software based, I will try to fix it. Even if it needs downgrading or anything.
Yes, had this myself... It's very annoying and it usually happens if I reboot when Wi-Fi is already on, or wake-up the device from sleeping when wifi was on. But I can pretty much detect when it happens, the "Wi-Fi" icon stays gray, which means it did not connect to Google servers properly.
It's not hardware specific, I'm 90% sure it's the kernel (like all other fails in .35). I was using CM7 based on .32 before, and it had super fast Wi-Fi with no fails.
Yeah. I can get little by luttle more nnoyed by the anticts 2.3.5 - i should do the trick for pink screen and reinstall froyo. Is there a froyo mod for the quick wifi access and stuff from notification bar? Ah, like i need that if after it my wifi works perfectly.
No wonder official huawei.com site and product catalog do not list it as 2.3.5 device or offer update for it. For now I really think I am better off downgrading and waiting in lay...
Hi Guys,
As I am forum n00b and have some small questions, i thought i'd open my thread here. If i need to move, let me know, and i will do so.
I have updated to the latest Blisspop (1.7, 01-12-14 build) and have installed the latest Ktoonsz Kernel (Rocks btw, keep it up dude, my god).
- When will Blissspop have updating from within the rom itself? I love testing the new versions, but i am also not in the mood to reflash and reinstall all my apps/configs on a daly basis.
- I still have the Bluetooth lagging on my wireless headset. Setting profile to performance, or changing the CPU governor settings (bluetooth/media to min 2ghz for example) do not really solve it yet. Just feedback.
- Occasionally I have dialer issues. Every now and again it opens very laggy.
Actually, the only main issue is the well known Bluetooth stuttering. I use a BT headset and I am more than willing to field test it, as i use it daily and update my roms almost daily. All I would need is someone telling me what you would want me testing, and I'm yours.
Keep up the great work guys, really!
Cheers,
Yves
ps: Ktoonsz...you sir, are a robot. My god
pps: It seems the blisspop download section is down at the moment?

Great ROM!
Beautiful ROM man, I'll be following the development. I'll test out a couple of fixes I found from beta testing my ancient Optimus S.
I posted directly to the blog, but I like following on the forums better
Quickest install I've ever seen.
No problems on NOOP. No lag that I notice.
One question, for the masses or developer. Any thoughts on how to root this sucker? I did the "sustain root" on CWM, I switched the root access on the settings to ADB and app.
Can't figure out how to get root though. Thrown various APKs at it, everyone gets a blocked install (third party apps is enabled too).
Easy root? and minimal Gapps working
Greetings all,
I tested this app package, it's much smaller than the primary app package. Store is working, no errors thrown up. Yet, I've been running for about 30 minutes now, and installed root checker, again, no errors. 5.0 is tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
Just don't like all the goole news, games, and music crap that comes with a full GAPPS package.
Comes from working on the LG Optimus project.
Also, am I going crazy, or did I just switch a toggle and get root access?
Seriously? No ADB, no chinese programming? Just handed me root access like it was nothing?
Friggin awesome.
Camera Fix
I got the camera to work better.
I had to use
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
In case this blog block the link, it’s Open Camera by Mark in the play store.
I have working video and pic on the rear camera, and the “selfie” front camera works for picture only. In video mode, It duplicates/tiles video. That’s the only thing.
Other than that, very few problems. Pretty zippy in terms of speed. Course I came from the LG Optimus S, so anything is zippy to me. Noop works good.
Annoying though that it seems to only save nandroid backups to some mysterious "secure" folder. I've looked for it, can't find it. Maybe it's just ROM Manager being a jerk though.
Why haven't you updated the ROM since April 24?
You are alive? Yay!
Very excited for the next build to go up, can't wait! Welcome back!

Me too. It's going up later this morning.
Sweet, looking forward to notifications on my lockscreen. Going to have to swap out the font for the clock though, Roboto looks weird when thin.
Thanks for taking the time to build this for us.
I didn't build this. But be warned, Telephony, bluetooth, camera, and flashlight doesn't work.
Mostly nitpicking, but after about an hour of testing, here's what I found, on 12-20150424:
Telephony requires a two+ rings prior to the other phone ringing at all. May be a carrier issue.
The Location quick setting tile for the notification drawer disappears when accessing the tiles from the lockscreen, at least with a pattern lock. Unaffected are WiFi, mobile data, Bluetooth, tethering/hotspot, airplane mode, rotation control, flashlight, AudioFX, ADB over network, Compass, battery mode, color inversion, LTE
, LiveDisplay, NFC, screen timeout and profiles. (logcat for disappearing tile: pastebin.com backslash 4Ny6rR58)
Compass in said notification drawer does not function correctly, tilting devices does not equal change in heading. i437 hardware issue?
SMS is vulnerable to Stagefright, as expected of pre-August 2015 builds.
Settings > Storage: Overflow menu option 'USB computer connection' activity never starts if phone is not plugged into computer. IMO, should offer options even if not connected.
Cannot remove guest user under Settings > User without first being ON guest account.
Camera findings:
Rear camera 4.9 mp pictures do not preview correctly in camera app, appear as pure gray. Opening files with third-party app resulted in expected photo.
720p rear camera never saves video; must lower resolution to function. In addition, appears R and B channels get swapped in preview.
Beyond those, no complaints so far, and been using this for about two months now. Any bootloops are the result of an improper Xposed installation
(please don't stop making this, it's much fun to poke and prod D:)
WiFi radio not working
Hey guys, so I have a Samsung Galaxy Alpha that I rooted and flashed CM12.1 along with Gapps on to it and it worked fine. Then I flashed my aunt's Samsung Galaxy Light SGH-T399 with CM12.0 too (with Gapps) and again everything worked fine including WiFi except that she had no service from her provider but still could receive calls but neither call nor Message. So I flashed a new radio (SGH-T399N) which I found somewhere in the discussion page and everything worked! She now got service, meaning she could make calls and message too.
Now I flashed my uncle's Samsung Galaxy AT&T SGH-i437 along with Gapps and again, everything worked including Camera (Google Camera not stock). Except the WiFi. When the CyanogenMod set up screen loaded and asked for my preferred language I chose English as always but when the WiFi screen popped up, it simply said "WiFi turning on" but it didn't! For 10 minutes I sat there waiting for it to enable but no such luck. So I skipped ahead to the home screen and I noticed that Mobile Service worked 100% for the phone. So basically, is there a WiFi radio I must flash for the WiFi to turn on? Right now I just downgraded him to CM11 KK 4.4.4 with Nova Launcher and the WiFi is enabled. Thanks in advance!
tl;dr WiFi doesn't turn on SGH-i437, mobile service does. Any radio or something I need to flash?
Hey silents090,
I have a sgh-t399, any chance you could forward me the link for cm12 you got working on your relatives? cuz I flashed cm12 and had issues with mobile carrier, and regular sms texts....
thanks in advance

Sure,http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-cm12-light-beta-t3154688
Flash this rom on TWRP recovery, then flash this radio right after flashing the rom also using TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2978028&d=1413801605

it was a T-Mobile t-399
Out of curiosity, which version of the rom did you use? I used vanilla.
Secondly, does the rom work when you do not flash the radio?
Thirdly and lastly, you clear the cache, data, dalvik etc before flashing, right?
