Status/Quality of CM7.2

For a number of reasons, I'm thinking of rooting my Droid R2D2 and installing CM7.2. Given that I'm on 2.3.4 and the hoops required to root it, I would love it if someone could verify that the following features all work on their Droid2 or R2D2 with CM7.2. I haven't been able to find a consolidated list of what does or doesn't work on this particular phone. I'll update this post with reported statuses as people respond for others to use as a reference.
Comments in blue are consolidated feedback from others. Comments in green are my own experiences after taking the plunge.
Phone calls: Yes Confirmed
3G Data: Yes Confirmed
WiFi: Intermittent. Sometimes people have to reboot every time you toggle, but not everyone has this issue I've noticed sometimes when on WiFi I lose all data connectivity. Disabling WiFi sometimes fixes it, but not always. Rebooting seems to do the trick every time though.
GPS: Yes Confirmed
Phone-over-Bluetooth: Yes Confirmed
Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Yes, possible lag entering menus/rotating screen/unlocking due to using power amp Pandora works fine for me
Still Camera: Yes Confirmed
Video Camera: Yes Confirmed
Physical Keyboard: Every key except 'ALT LOCK' Confirmed
Motorola Desktop Dock detection/integration: Yes, though it doesn't seem to remember that I've hit the brightness/dim button between inserts as it used to when on stock.
Motorola Car Dock detection/integration: Yes
SMS/MMS (I use Google Voice for most of my SMS needs, but for sake of completeness):Yes SMS - yes. MMS - haven't tested.
In addition, if you could address the following, that would be great: One of the reasons I want to get rid of the installed firmware is because of a strange problem I have when I stream audio over bluetooth to my car. The problem is: when I'm streaming audio, and only when I'm streaming audio, if I use my car's steering-mounted controls to initiate a phone call, it seems to sever the bluetooth connection with the phone. I have to manually re-connect the car to the phone (not re-pair, just re-connect). When I'm not streaming audio, using the steering wheel-mounted controls don't cause the sever to occur. I use both Pandora and iHeartRadio, and have seen the same problem in both apps. Using the iOS version of the same apps on my work-issued iPhone don't have the problem, so I don't think it is an problem inherent with my car, I think it is an issue with the Android installation. If switching to CM7.2 suffers this same problem as the official 2.3.4, it wouldn't be worth the effort to me to switch. But if it DOES fix the problem ... I might be more forgiving if everything in the above list doesn't work fully. I still suffer the same problem.
Thanks in advance!
Other things I've noticed:
Airplane Mode: I've noticed that trying to trigger Airplane Mode doesn't seem to work properly. When I attempt to trigger it, nothing appears to happen. If I then reboot the phone, I see the airplane icon in the status bar, data doesn't work (as one would expect when in Airplane Mode), but the Bluetooth icon is visible, as if Bluetooth were still turned on. Attempting to turn off Airplane Mode also requires a reboot.
Lock Screen: Initially, changing the settings for the lock screen worked just fine. Now, for some reason, the settings don't seem to "stick" ... I set them, but they have no effect. But, if I then reboot, the settings that I tried to set take effect. So they are being persisted somewhere, somehow ...​Airplane Mode and Lock Screen: Originally I noticed the two above items. I just did a factory reset of the phone (Settings --> Privacy --> Factory data reset), and the problems went away. Airplane Mode seems to work properly, and the Lock Screen settings update as expected, just like when I first installed CM. I didn't do all that much previously, so I can't imagine what broke these the first time, but if I happen to recreate the problem and isolate the cause I'll mention it here.
ADW Launcher: When Cyanogenmod first booted up, I couldn't add, move, or remove anything from the default home screens by long-pressing. The haptic would trigger, so I know it was recognizing the presses. By going through the ADW settings and choosing simply to restart ADW, everything started working fine.
Lock Screen: I love the flexibility and customization it allows. At first though, I thought it wasn't showing the time/date of the next upcoming alarm. Then I realized that by disabling the "show next calendar event" feature, it would show up in the same place that the calendar event was otherwise appearing in.
It's fast!: The phone feels MUCH more responsive than when I was on stock.

Phone calls: Yes
3G Data: Yes
WiFi: Intermittent. I have to reboot every time you toggle, but not everyone has this issue.
GPS: Yes
Phone-over-Bluetooth: Yes
Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Never tried
Still Camera: Yes
Video Camera: Yes
Physical Keyboard: Every key except 'ALT LOCK'
Motorola Media Dock detection/integration: Never tried
Motorola Car Dock detection/integration: Never tried
SMS/MMS (I use Google Voice for most of my SMS needs, but for sake of completeness): Yes. I use both also

Does it do this with your standard music app while playing music off your SD card?
Your logic seems sound enough, but you assume Android is a perfect OS. It might just be the way Pandora and iHeartRadio are designed to handle that situation in the Android operating environment and it might just be a bug across 2.3.4. My suggestion to you would be to try these same exact things with a couple DIFFERENT Android phones (a friend's, the wife's, etc.) to see if that's just how it plays out within the Android OS. Worst case scenario, that's just a problem with the apps themselves and you write an email to them asking for an update with a solution.

Sadly, everyone that I know is an iPhone fanboy. I'm the only one with an Android-based phone!

I'm also aware that the ROM has baked-in support for Motorola's media and car docks, though I don't own one to tell you how well it works. I assume its the same code, just stolen from source, and I've NEVER seen anyone complaining about it on Gingerbread. Maybe head over to the Droid 2 Accessories part of the forum and see if there are any complaints.

Per your advice, I ran a couple of more tests, and found the following. In addition to severing the bluetooth connection when streaming audio from Pandora or iHeartRadio and using the steering wheel-mounted controls to initiate a phone call, the bluetooth connection also gets severed in the same manner when streaming sound from YouTube.
Interestingly, it does NOT sever the connection when streaming audio from the local media player or through Play Music when streaming over 3G. However, even in this circumstance, if I hit the steering wheel "Mode" button to switch to AM/FM, it severs the bluetooth connection. If I recall from past tests, this also would also sever Pandora/iHeartRadio, though I didn't repeat that this morning.
So ... it's not just Pandora or iHeartRadio, but some of Google's own software, though sometimes only when switching radio modes and not always when placing a call.
Is anyone out there running CM7.2 connected to a car and able to verify whether the same problems plague CM7.2 as stock 2.3.4?

2.3.4 and the hoops required to root it,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's not that difficult, just need a decent pc
download iso file (50mb),
mount image to cd, dvd, or usb drive
reboot pc to drive
run program, read onscreen instructions, takes about 10 mins or less
wipe cache, reboot
done your rooted
just know how to boot to bootloader and recovery, read http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome
written for d2G, but same steps

Stream Audio over Bluetooth: Yes, possible lag (music pausing/skipping for a split second ) entering menus/rotating screen/unlocking but maybe because I am using power amp or the kernel that I am using
Dock: There is a dock menu in settings that looks to be specific to this phone (as in I have not seen it on other cm7.2 phones) so it may work
Edit: FYI I had a fun (hard) time getting from stock (froyo) to CM7.2. I had to flash the stock (gingerbread) before I could get to 7.2 (Someone here provided me the file to flash which I may be able to dig up)

Well, I hooped myself crazy, am rooted and on 2.3.4 - and the CM7.2 install script still honks that I'm not on the right version.
Anyone else seen this one?
(I realize I'm a little late to the game - I just got a D2 off of craigslist...)

You may need to tweak the Cyanogenmod installer. See the following post for instructions on how to fix. Copying/pasting the instructions here for reference. This worked for me. I ran CM7.2 for quite a while, but eventually got rid of it due to my R2D2 having WiFi issues under CM7.2 (it would sometimes stop having internet connectivity over WiFi, and the only way to fix the issue was to reboot).

GregMoens said:
Look like you're failing the check_kernel script. This was put in place to prevent someone with a Froyo based kernel from flashing a CM version that required the Gingerbread kernel. If you open up the cm-7.2.0-droid2.zip file and look at /system/etc/check_kernel, you'll see that the required kernel version is 2.6.32.9-gca08d89, which matches my Droid2 exactly. I'm assuming your version does not match. That 2.3.4 update must have bumped the kernel version. This new kernel may or may not work with CM7.2.
Couple options I can think of. You could change the required version in the check_kernel script. Or you can blank out that entire file and replace it with:
#!/sbin/sh
exit 0
You could also edit the main update script found under /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and delete this line:
assert(run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0);
Just make any of those changes, repackage the zip file, and try flashing that. You could very well get stuck in a bootloop due to the new kernel being incompatible and you may have to SBF back to rooted 2.3.4 and live with that for now. Good luck!

Is it factory or after-market radio? I'm waiting on my S8 to arrive today...Android Auto is one thing I've been wondering about...whether it's going to screw up or not with the new phone. Mine is an after-market (Pioneer).

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I have the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX and I have come to rely on AA with my S7E, it didn't work at first a while back, but after an (phone) update it works fine. I can't see going without it at this point, very useful. I'll chime in when I get my S8+ (hopefully tomorrow) if I have any issues.

Same here...that's exactly what I have and I've gotten so used to it, it's a must have for my new phone to work with it! My S8 should be arriving any minute and top of my priority list is connecting it to my car. I'll keep you posted.

Works fine for me. Hyundai with AVN 4.0 (latest) stock head unit. Remember too that if you used Smart Switch to set up your phone you need to uninstall and reinstall all your AA dependent apps. AA doesn't see them for some reason when they're copied vs. installed from scratch.

It worked flawlessly on my way home from work!

Finally figured it out. Turns out the play services app need updating and wouldn't update unless connected to Wi-Fi. All works now!

Also having some issues it seems with android auto, s8, and connection to my car.
I love having new technology but I wish things like this were already hammered out.

Did you try uninstalling Android Auto app? I uninstalled mine then went plug it up in my car and let it prompt me to download everything and allow permissions, etc. I had to put my emergency brake on and go through the whole nine yards, but it worked perfectly once all done.

Yes. This was the first step I did. Uninstalled AA, Spotify, and then installed AA. Once done with that I went into android auto and downloaded Spotify. Still not listed as an option. Also tried another USB cord just for good measure.

Finally got to use android auto this morning. I used a micro USB to USB C adapter I had bought earlier. Everything ran perfectly, I didn't need to install anything, spotify worked, everything so far exactly as before with no hiccups.

I had to do this twice to get it working right lol.
But now... Sometimes it tells me Spotify isn't working and has a spinning icon. I have to restart the phone and car to remedy. This has been happening since android 7 came out to update on my devices. S7Edge before and now the S8

I hadn't realized it till over the weekend that my iHeart Radio wasn't appearing in my music choice either. I uninstalled and re-installed iHeart Radio app to see if that helped but it didn't. Then suddenly I get in my car this morning and it's working! IDK what the deal is.

Android auto, s8, google maps
Somebody please help. 2016 jeep wrangled. When I TRY to use Google maps nav as soon as my s8+ display goes black I get the searching for GPS. So frustrating. Any advice??? Please and thank you

Android Auto and non-OEM Kenwood headunit

Hello,
Having issues connecting with a Kenwood headunit, it has literally worked twice in a week. It continuously cycles in and out and simply says "an access error of the USB device has occurred." Has anyone else have this issues? I've tried MTP settings, debugging, and nothing seems to do it.

I'm on my third USB cable now, and I got it to work for about 30 minutes at one point last week, unplugged it and plugged it back in and boom, no more Android Auto.

Is there any update on this thread? I am having dificulties with the PH-1 running the latest OREO from Essential. The phone will never attempt to make the connection to the head unit, that has run AA for the last 2 1/2 years without a problem on my Nexus 6P and my iPhone. I have tried 3 different cables some short some long. I have tried the same cables that I use to reflash the PH-1 as well.
I reflashed back to Nougat to see if it was an upgrade problem, and I was not even able to load AA on the phone, so I promptly went back to 8.1.
I am considering trying Linage OS to see if that might fix the problem, but would love to have a little feedback here if people have had success.

I'm new to the Essential (just got it yesterday) but I'm also having AA problems with my Honda Ridgeline. Absolutley no problems with my Pixel XL for over a year (same cable) but AA refuses to load on the truck. Actually, it did load once, but not again. I have removed the app & reinstalled it. Nothing. Rebooted the phone, nothing. Tried two different cables, nothing. Sometimes it will cycle ("Connected to Car") for a bit but then ultimately give up. What up with this phone?? I'm running factory stock Oreo 8.1. Help?!

Ugh, I wished I read this before buying my head unit. I can't get AA to work for anything. My iPhone works fine, but Carplay sucks!

Waze in Android auto issues

Anyone have so many problems as me when using Waze in Android auto?
1) street names text is so pixelated and not crisp/smooth
2) freezing
3) sometime it doesn't even update the location and blank map
Etc..

Are you using a Oneplus 6T? I just got off the phone with Oneplus support because I cannot get Android Auto to work at all.

I'm in similar boat too.
Android Auto is messed up on this phone.
OnePlus has been of no help whatsoever.
I have been providing them logs they requested. No reply from them.

works great for me... I'm on the latest 9.0.11 with root and twrp and haven't seen any problems

I ranted about this on Twitter. Probably not gonna make a difference, but did it anyway..
https://twitter.com/iamshahaz/status/1081590759935987713?s=19

I posted on another thread, but I'll update this one too. I have an almost clean install as my phone was only hours old. I upgraded to the latest oxygen build (non-beta) and still no-dice. Tier 1 customer support was worthless, as was the advanced support team. It wasn't until after they told me to return the phone and hope for the feature to be fixed eventually in another build, that I again tried but with the factory dash cable. Android Auto worked immediately! I'm not sure why, but the cable that I was using with my other phone for AA wouldn't work for the 6T. Now that it is working, it works amazing.
I hope this helps someone else... Best of luck.

I can tell you my non-standard cables on my Essential phone are intermittent with AA in my car, but the stock cord, works...only phone I now that didn't work at all is the Pixel 2 XL...sold it anyway. But I use AA daily and about to buy this phone because I'm on Verizon and been awaiting support. So as long as the cable is just the issue, no biggie..can always buy a spare one for the car.

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.

I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.

I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.

I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

I have my animations set to 1,0 and i don`t have a delay, on 0,5 however there is a slight delay.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
