Yes that's it exactly. Why are your call logs so important? You can find software which sync a this to a PC if backing up is that important.
Yes its in mature development but not many people require this otherwise it would be in it already. You can request new features on the main site but seeing as the ace won't get cm9 officially it won't be included.
I was using gosms and it was auto backing up once a week on sundays. So I can for now for this test use a 6 day old backup.
You can also back up whenever you require. Using a google account works far better for contacts too as that's what it is supposed to be used. every time you change phone or ROM it means you don't need to do anything to get your contacts.
Look in the market as there are plenty of back up apps you can try.
1 - I need it for my own reasons generally anyway.
2 - Part of my testing is that on stock rom my large cal log lags like hell when loading so I want to see if CM is improved, cant really test with no call log
Same for my sms messages as well, right now CM feels lightning fast but of course it has no data, so its by no means a meaningful comparison.
I am curious as well if its titanium backup been stupid and if other apps work, then that leaves me dissapointed in titanium a app recommended by many.
Go sms pro restored fine. As far as I know it keeps sms in the same place as stock because I know I was able to access my sms with sock and go sms, so it would seem titanium backup isnt very reliable. However sadly go sms does nothing for restoring contacts or call logs, the restored messages are seperated by contact but the contact name etc. is missing just shows the phone numbers. What I plan to do is restore my old setup. Then grab an app that does the call logs and contacts specifically and I will then try CM again. I dont plan to restore actual system settings as I respect CM has different settings to stock so I am at least prepared to reconfigure the system settings.
Also gosms does load my sms significantly faster than on stock, my biggest sms folder has 2116 messages in it, on stock it took about 3-4 seconds to display, its almost instant on CM.
Also whats interesting is I have one entry in favourites, as if titanium did a very partial restore.

You can use MyBakup Root to bakup all contacts, sms, call logs, calender, dictionaries, bookmarks, android settings etc easily. Its very fast and reliable. Got a good scheduling feature also. Been using it for a long time and no complaints yet.
TB works well for contacts, it backs up the entire contacts app data.
The only problem i ever faced while migrating was when i first installed CM7, its settings are different so needed manual changes. But once its done, you can bakup the settings and restore them on any CM7 rom. Same goes for Stock.
CM devs should provide an inbuilt migration feature, but heck we can find alternatives, can't trouble them for each and every minor difficulty we face.
I have put the phone back on my backup, just warning to others tho those using odin to go back to stock from CM may get a boot loop like I did, but I was able to go into recovery still and it booted after I wiped the cache and data. Then a CWM restore worked from there to go back to where I was but wow it feels slow now compared to CM.
I tested blackhawk's kernel on CM and that has BLN and the extra governors. But BLN is still a no go as a library is incompatible within CM, I will play with it more tommorow. Also thanks to ayush29k will try the mybackuproot for the system stuff and just use TB for apps.
Wifi was completely hosed for me tho on CM, I seen others had earlier reported wifi issues but they all said was fixed on the nightly so I seemed to be on my own with that issue. My wifi would turn on but didnt connect to anything as it found no networks and also sometimes it triggered force close's. CM has a fair few things nice about it tho and I am liking it enough to either wait for it to be more stable or to try and work around the issues so I can use it soon.
I am using the old unofficial CM7 KANG build, no problems at all. Everything works perfect, including the wifi and BLN. Though the gps was a problem but i fixed that with the stock libs mod by lagloose. I am using it for last 6 months and still i don't feel tempted by all the great roms coming these days. This is just a perfect rom for me. Super performance, full functionality, CM features and a great look,...just perfect!!
I would suggest you go for the unofficial builds like FATs CM7, the official still has many bugs, but those great devs at FAT have found work arounds through almost all the bugs.

ok so latest klang CM7 rom?
do you mind giving me a link to the GPS workaround thanks although I will try to search for it myself if you dont reply.
What you says makes sense, the guys doing unofficial roms I suspect are focusing on the ace itself, fixing specific issues whilst the official version is just a build of a rom for many devices so wont get as much focus.
when I restore with my backup root it says contacts failed because I dont have google sync enabled, I specifically want that off. So I need an offline migration process.
--edit--
ok I got the contacts imported, the app I found has an option to disable google sync.
Rom remains fast with the large call log and all the SMS imported.
The wifi also now works.
However.
There is a bug with the screen timeout setting, I set to 30 minutes and its defenitly not waiting that long.
I am getting occasional force close of foreground apps.
sd-ext is visible and mounted as I can browse it with root explorer (is empty), but titanium backup doesnt see it. I guess I actually need to install dt-apps2sd.
Not looked into BLN again.
ADW launcher mixed views, I like the alphabetical ordering, but when I switch to sideways scrolling, it seems less fluid than stock version, needing more of a swipe to change screens and its jerky losing the fast fluid immersion of the rest of the rom.
Was unable to import calender data, my backup root said no calender is on current rom but one is installed, so I am guessing its a different version or something and incompatible.
Looked at kang's rom feedback thread, I see its based on CM7.1 which I assume also means an older version of gingerbread, will install it now to see what I think of it.

google sync is just a 1 time requirement, no idea why, but it never asks for that again. Do a sync once and then just restore your backup over it.
Try one thing, enable sync but turn off your wifi/packet data, see if it works then.
The Following User Says Thank You to ayush29k For This Useful Post:
It worked fine is an option in my backup to disable the requirement.
I enabled trackball lockscreen was this a mistake? I cant unlock it as I dont know what trackball is O_o
I was trying to get the easy unlock screen from 2.3.6 stock.
Also on a call it only rings once and thats it, stock rings repeatedly like any other phone.
I did get dt-apps2sd working also.
So whats left is.
1 - easy unlock from 2.3.6 stock.
2 - BLN
3 - get it to ring repeatedly.
The rest of everything else I think is fine. The phone is amazingly fast compared to stock,granted on my stock setup I underclock the CPU for battery life, but even when I ran at full clocks last night it still felt laggy in comparison.
I can confirm no issues with BLN on the vo-1 mod but I dont like either of the 2 themes he supplied, the CM7 stock theme is better. His rom also seems slower than official CM7.2.
dunno what that'll do, ace doesn't have a trackball
CM does have many options for lockscreen, look into the cyanogenmod settings>lockscreen, it has all the options of stock plus more.
Go through the CM settings, there's loads that you have never seen in stock.
I have never had a ringtone problem like such, it rings repeatedly. Try another ringtone and check the settings as well, might be an option somewhere.
Look into xda, there is a patch for BLN on CM there, use that.
For me, battery easily last 2 days, no networking, 100 sms and around 10 calls a day, lasts long and works fast.
There are lots of themes for CM7 on the net, i use Achep's ics theme. Change it as you like it, and its not permanent so you can use a new theme everyday.
For more speed remove the apps you don't like and use some ram scripts to improve the performance.
I am using Ice Cream Sunday rom, its a barebones CM7.2, so it easily gives 1900 quadrant score on 800mhz with no lags. I keep min frequency at 245mhz plus smartass governor.

Do you know how to get stock behaviour back on closing app?
on stock if I launched app from app drawer and closed app I went back to app drawer, on both CM roms I go back to home screen instead.
The lock screen isnt there I think, it has the lock screen from 2.3.3 stock where have to drag bar across, but 2.3.6 had a new lock screen where only had to swipe a tiny bit and was enough to unlock, also could swipe anywhere on screen, was no particular area.
I think this vo-1 rom is slower than official CM but still noticebly faster than stock.
Just incase was my ringtone I did try a generic ringtone and was same issue.but on both these CM roms its ringing just once and waits for me to answer or reject with no more rings.
Dont enable trackball lock screen its effectively a lockout until restore no way I found to unlock it.
sorry bro, no idea about the app closing behaviour.
I think what you are talking about is that in 2.3.6 you can slide the entire lockscreen wallpaper to unlock. I don't think its there in CM, but there are apps you can use for that. I have also found numerous unlock options in MiLocker app.
I use song ringtones and they are quite long, so probably i didn't notice the single run behaviour. i'll let you know if i find any solution for that.
You can try a barebones version of CM + overclock your cpu + ram scripts, that'll will give you the maximum speed the ACE can give, although it'll drain your battery quite fast.
thanks appreciated, and dont worry about the speed, its still damn fast compared to stock.
As a temporary workaround I will be using a long ringtone.
Also tommorow after some sleep will install that gps workaround,
BLN etc. I got configured.
I did notice they removed groups from contacts which I did find useful (is how I sorted out my work contacts and gave them overide ringtones and sms tones) Luckily tho they also added a overide ringtone for each contact meaning I wasnt stuck just a bit more work for the configuring.
I obviously cant comment on battery life yet, for now I configured smartassv2 governor which apparently is good for reducing clocks with the screen off so hopefully will be fairly efficient.
Also thanks to PJ147 of course for bringing it to the attention of this forum of the official rom and his help as well.
ok I found on another website a CM changelog.
according to that CM goes past 7.2 and this was added to 7.2.1.

For the ringtone you can also use an external app for the market.
OR
use a good music editor and cut paste your favorite ringtone one after another and make one long ringtone file.
Yeah there's no groups in CM contacts app, i have resorted to using the favorites instead.
Its been 6 months and there are still days when i find new settings and options in this, its really too customizable

I am assuming grif's 7.1 build.
I just switched to it as BLN was too buggy in RC2. The bug isnt present on RC1. This one cm-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG-10.10.11-Grif_07.zip and the fix file for it.
Grifs build is great. There is work going on on the official version and when it gets a stable release it will be perfect. By the way the GPS fix is http://db.tt/hUEtwHL3
Unforteantly it does still have the BLN issue, I was fooled by that the issue doesnt show so much when the usb is plugged in. It seems CM has an underlying issue affected BLN in 7.1 and 7.2 that is getting no attention, probably due to the limtied way bugs can be reported.
I have noticed a new nightly is done now and I have downloaded it.
Here is a summary of my ups and downs so far.
Quote:
CM 7.x problems
1 - Flash doesnt work in browsers and bbc app.
2 - BLN Pro is very broken, LED blinks chaoticly.
3 - BLN Free is partially broken LED occasionally turns off momentarily.
4 - Screen timeout setting is inaccurate on 10 and 30 minute settings.
5 - It allows trackball lockscreen when not fitted meaning cant unlock device.
CM 7.x Missing Features
1 - No built in BLN support meaning using 3rd party kernel which CM dev's will then not support.
2 - No Groups in contacts, every phone I have owned has this feature.
3 - Ringtone doesnt loop just plays once.
4 - Android easy swipe lockscreen not included.
5 - No built in debug tool so easy to send bug's to CM dev's on their bugtracker using their logging requirements.
CM 7.x plus points.
1 - Phone is blazing fast to use compared to stock, I havent compared to modified stock roms tho.
2 - Theme is nice mostly.
3 - Extra options to tune performance related stuff.
4 - Enhanced power menu.
5 - Lots of space free on system.
6 - Extra options for 2G data use.
7 - Audio is better quality and clearer
PJ147 you seem in the loop on internal CM development, can you draw attention to what I summarised?
Last edited by chrcol; May 15th, 2012 at 07:02 AM.
1 - Flash doesnt work in browsers and bbc app. nor does it properly on stock.change the flash verison. It works in browsers (not opera) for me - by the way the aces armv6 processor is not supported for flash.
2 - BLN Pro is very broken, LED blinks chaoticly. 3rd party app
3 - BLN Free is partially broken LED occasionally turns off momentarily. see above
4 - Screen timeout setting is inaccurate on 10 and 30 minute settings.
5 - It allows trackball lockscreen when not fitted meaning cant unlock device. dont press it as you know the phone has no trackball
CM 7.x Missing Features
1 - No built in BLN support meaning using 3rd party kernel which CM dev's will then not support. this is not a ROM missing feature - its an app limitation
2 - No Groups in contacts, every phone I have owned has this feature.
3 - Ringtone doesnt loop just plays once. worked ok for me
4 - Android easy swipe lockscreen not included. you can change this in adw settings
5 - No built in debug tool so easy to send bug's to CM dev's on their bugtracker using their logging requirements. for bug tracking see what you were informed on XDA - no other rom has inbuild debug tool either??
CM 7.x plus points.
1 - Phone is blazing fast to use compared to stock, I havent compared to modified stock roms tho. check out angry birds etc for real difference!
2 - Theme is nice mostly. adw launcher is very customisable
3 - Extra options to tune performance related stuff.
4 - Enhanced power menu.
5 - Lots of space free on system.
6 - Extra options for 2G data use.
It seems that you might be expecting too much from this as a lot of your problems are apparent in lots of other roms too. Most other roms (which are based on stock or CM 7.x) have lots of issues and outside XDA or such sites have no way to feed back issues. Things like BLN support are more of the app developers issue than CMs.
From what you have said here have you tried other (unnoffcial) CM roms like Jusada's Ice Cream Sunday Final for example. As flash works (not BBC - its a phone hardware limitation), BLN works too.
I want to report stuff not start collecting debug logs.
Your reply is what I expected that washing hands of the issue on BLN, because all the app does is tell the rom/kernel when to turn on the LED. So something in the ROM is making it go crazy when the screen is off. Or maybe the kernel is using a dodgy driver, which is why this should be built into CM, BLN is commonly used and CM refuse to include it in their kernel, maybe they couldnt get it to work, too much work perhaps? ok not include it and blame 3rd party easy Am I been harsh? maybe, but I would have more respect if was something like ok we will look into it because we want you to use our rom and this leaves a bad impression.
Regarding the bbc news app I did a test.
I went back to stock, played a video, it redirects to an app called movies and plays. On CM it redirects to an app called films and says cant play the video.
Your comment about trackball is bad very bad, I didnt know what the hell a trackball was and I would expect the software to at the very least to warn me.
The reason the other roms (based on CM) also have the problems is well because they are ultimately still CM just with their own fixes and skinning etc.
This new build is marked as UNOFFICIAL so I guess not quite a nightly, I installed it now here is whats interesting on the BLN.
I installed a BLN kernel again, but like the offical nightly BLN still doesnt work, which backs up what I am saying, the ROM itself also handles the backlights because I have the liblights error again. So those guys grif and vo-1 who made BLN compatible versions have used some modifications to the rom. Most likely they did something wrong but all this stems from CM from CM modifiying liblights because on stock its enough to just install cf-root and not also mess with liblights. What I would try if I knew how is to grab stock liblights and put in this rom to see if it works. But I dont know what the filenames are.
Finally on this new build superuser is hosed, I had to redownload it of the market and a fix app for the updater to force it to update, it wasnt detecting root apps so they were all been refused root access.
If CM want to make some money and see sense, pass me their email address, I will talk to them and pay for this fix. If not I guess I need to try and find my own solution or see if there is other roms as fast as CM ideally I dont want to go back to stock because its sooo much slower.
Look. Its not washing my hands its a fact bln quite clearly state on the market that it doesn't work with all kernels. That is the app developers skills or choice not cm. Cm is free and built the way cm want it. like it or dont. I'm not in any way shape or form associated with them I just took time to put up a thread and a guide on how to install it. If you want to report a bug then report it in the way that is set out. But a fault with an app designed by someone else or someone elses kernel probably won't be looked at as its not their software........
ok I got an old liblights from a CWM backup and BLN pro appears to be working normal. I say appear as in the past I have jumped the gun a bit.
Ths is the 14may build.
BLN is defenitly improved with the stock liblights, now if set to keep led's on non blinking they stay on all the time. However blinking is still messed up. I may attempt to work on this myself actually
Sorry if I took it out on you, sometimes I get over frustrated and am not polite.

Fair enough CM officially dont want to enable BLN, so really I should be reporting to BLN dev which I did and/or the rom dev for the modded rom.
But anyway I am going to migrate all my apps etc. today to the 14th may build and see how that runs. On BLN I found if I set the blink on period for under 4 seconds it works as it should, so I have it set a bit different now so it works ok with CM, but I want to migrate to the 14th may build as that works better than the earlier build with it.
Battery drain at the moment seems high when idle using smartassv2 on it but its still a lot of short term use between charges as I am playing with it so not a long term report on that.
on the other builds it worked fine, now its using my fat sdcard space as sd-ext. However I did a test, restored the CWM backup prior to installing dt and sd-ext was mounted fine on the ext3 partition, but after installing the zip that partition is not mounted and it mounts the fat sdcard partition twice as sd-ext and sdcard. So looks like some other funky bug in this build breaking dtapps now.
--edit--
I see is 2se for CM which seems the same as DT. So using that now on this new rom with my testing and seems to work.

ok sorry for the mess but I need to clear this up.
The BLN issue is kernel based. As I tested on some stock based roms which had the same issue, but I fixed them by downgrading their kernels to cf-root b82 (b83 and b84 have same problems as CM). Of course to use BLN on CM I have to use an unofficial kernel which was blackhawk meaning its not a CM rom issue.
2se seems a good enough replacement for DT as well. So that issue on the latest build is a minor issue regarding DT.
After trying a couple of other roms I probably am going to go back to CM now, it feels cleaner than other non stock roms and is still the fastest out of all I have tried.
Finally I noticed my backup root loses the date's on sms backups, when restored they all have the current date/time. GoSMS if people are using that, use the backup/restore from that instead as it preserves the date/time.
Hi, i'm new with android. I read lots of information, but i bricked my phone....
Let me tell you what i did:
I follow the steps 1 to 5 without any problem. In step 6, reboot in recovery from CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache....
When i need to apply update from sdcard, i remember that i forgot to put the CM7 zip file in sd, so i try to reboot my phone, and then connect it to my pc and transfer the file...
But when i reboot the phone it remains on a cycle between operator logo and samsung logo....and never finish starting..
Some help?
edit:
I try to restore (from bacup and restore) in the recovery mode, but it doesn't works, the phone continue with the cycle between operator logo and samsung logo.

I tried CM 7.2 last week end and i am quite impressed with it specially the customization it allows to do but at the same time i noticed the the battery consumption is very high and i was wondering if there is any way to fix this.. but all an all gr8 work guys its good to know that there will be other options out there for our SGA when samsung stops supporting it.
Dude this is the OFFICIAL CYANOGENMOD thread
PJ147 is merely comparing the battery on official CM with the unofficial KANG builds. This is the best battery you will get on a default(no tweeks) CM rom.
If battery is a big issue for you then its better that you switch back to stock.

I think what many of us are thinking tho is do the CM dev's see battery life as a bug that needs fixing, or is it something that will never change. I am dissapointed if its the latter and would at least like to see an answer as to why that is. I plan to go revert back to CM soon (I still need to make a looping ringtone and fix BLN) and still havent really used it for any long stretches of time to make a proper judgement on the battery life. But what I did observe is that the ebay app on CM kept trying to access the internet whilst the screen was off, lots of requests in droidwall and wakelocks. On stock the app doesnt do this, so CM dev's seem to have changed things to break some apps, as I already noted problems with the bbc app as well.
Going back to stock isnt an answer as that has its own issues
For me its.
Stock, poor predict text feature on keyboard, is quite bad such as missing lots of words and forcing bad words on you with an auto correct that cant be turned off. Poor phone dialer compared to CM. Laggy contacts app. Laggy in general which is still evident even on ext4.
CM, weird design choice to not loop ringtones, no groups in contacts, poorer battery life?? and BLN issue (although this appears to be app/kernel issue). Poorer screen lock.
CM has a nicer predictive text on the keyboard, a better dialer prediction as well, much nicer theme, is on steroids with the speed, extra settings.
Long term I will be using CM but it needs work from me to get round the issues I have with it and I havent the time at the moment as it gives phone downtime, also CM is still not in gold status so lots of updates so wiping apps etc. restoring them for each update also requires time although it may be possible to install these updates just on top of each other?

Basicially you have wiped the rom so there is nothing to boot into. Restoring a CWM backup wont work as the file systems are different. See the uninstalling guide and flash a stock rom with ODIN and start the process again (not forgetting to put the file on SD this time!)
1 - installing apps from play store causes black screen and reboot, at first thought was just google maps but is every app, sometimes no reboot and just says "invalid package data" if lucky. Never had this before on any other rom including older CM builds.
2 - compass function doesnt work, noticed on GPS TEST app that it doesnt show my heading.
3 - Sometimes phone stays booting forever, forcing another reboot with power button it then boots.
4 - No gpsd binary, had to copy one from lagloose fix package.

This is a kernel issue it seems, works ok on stock CM kernel, but many people dont use stock kernel as it lacks features, on vo-1's build this is fixed with better kernel.

Seems fixed.

Fixed in vo-1 build. Although lock time is slower than I had with stock CM (after I manually fixed).
OK. Thanks for the feedback. Ill push this back to CM. Hopefully they will work them out as changing to a KANG build like VO-1's is not a fix as it uses a different kernel.
Ill let you know what they say.
The Following User Says Thank You to PJ147 For This Useful Post:
Ok spoke to coolya on XDA on the looping ringtones, progress.
If I understand him right mp3 files are actually supposed to loop and so may be a bug, waiting for clarification on this.
He told me OGG files need a variable adding to their headers to make them loop, so I converted it to OGG and added the variable and now my ringtone loops, great!!
I reported back to him it worked but also told him it was originally a mp3.
I have been searching a way to replace system app with other app. I successfully replaced my music app in cyanogenmod 7.2 with a miui music app through root explorer but when I tried to do same with the message app nothing happens and the message app disappears from the app drawer.
Please tell me a way to replace it
1) by root explorer.
2) by flashing a zip of that app.
I have a link where a tutorial on replacing a system message app is given but it is for stock rom
Can you also tell me is it possible to make a flashable zip of any .apk file.
I am on cm7.2 nightly cooper.
I need to this as the default mms.apk has no option for selecting recipients neither from contacts nor from recently contacted.
Please see the link above and tell me why that tutorial didn't work.
Too many tutorials on the net copying and pasting from othe rplaces without testing accuracy.
I dont know if its a good idea to wipe the stock messaging app, all I did was install gosms pro and then disabled notifications in the stock app, I then also dragged the gosms logo to the home screen for easy access. So when you get new sms the stock messaging app wont notify anymore and is effectively invisible.
Its possible that the app you were trying to replace your mms.apk was incompatible with the rom's framework, in this case the app doesn't get installed in the system.
Usually the stock mms.apk might not install on a CM rom as there framework is different.
P.S never replace system launcher untill unless you have another one installed and working properly.

very true. Had problems where I have rolled back with a CWM backup after deleting the launcher and forgetting to install another one. Makes an interesting reflash scenario!
