[BobZhome]

Developer: Blarf

Builder: BobZhome

Current Version: CM7.2.0 RC0-LW690-BobZhome (1-17-2011)
Description: Well, let's be honest. Unless you're living under a rock, you probably know what Android 2.3.7 (Gingerbread) is. Furthermore, you should know what the CyanogenMod project is. However, if a rock is really your home and you'd like to learn more, please visit their site: http://www.cyanogenmod.com


People worked with/owe thanks to:

• Alex Zepeda a.k.a Blarf - For his great skills on developing for the Android.
• Koushik Dutta a.k.a Koush - For his bad-ass recover.
• Steve Kondik a.k.a Cyanogen - Seriously? Do I need to state why we owe thanks to this guy?
• PlayfulGod - For help with getting need files and his CWM recovery for this phone

What Does Not work?

• Probably MMS

NOTE: If you end up having issues, always go back and try wiping. Start fresh and see if things don't improve.
NOTE 2: It'll take awhile for everything to settle down. Especially after installing gapps and syncing accounts. Give it a few minutes to settle and reboot a couple times. The system will speed up after that.

PlayfulGod's ClockworkMod Recovery: recovery.img

Helpful Tips

Overclocking is available in Settings --> CyanogenMod settings --> Performance --> CPU settings. Tweak it as you like, but know this: not all OC's were created equally.

Best port so far. Anything I can do to help you get wifi up?
Edit: oops didn't notice new build. Awesome. Thanks

 

[vinxra]

Love it. I could not get wifi to work, kept saying error, everything else I tried worked great, including overclocking.

 

[BobZhome]

Wifi should(others have said it is) be working on the newest build CM7.1RC1-LW690-BobZhome-090511.zip
Make sure your on the 9/5 build, if you are try re-flashing it.

I was just wondering (noob question) do i have to use PlayfulGod's ClockworkMod Recovery: recovery.img or can i use whatever CWM i have on there currently?

 

[kidricky]

You can use any recovery you have on your phone, just be sure to backup your current ROM, just in case anything goes wrong.

Ok so everything seems to be working except the camera which reboots sometimes and works fine other times, and the gps. But I have tried a variety of games and apps with great success. A big thanks to all who have devoted time and effort on this project.

 

[BobZhome]

Updated to 9/8 ROM on OP, feedback is very welcomed.
Enjoy!

If your have issues with your camera, try lowering you Over Clocking a little bit

Well camera doesn't cause reboot. But it does take pictures upside down. Kinda weird. Other than that no bugs. Animations work. No insufficient space errors. Good job. Thanks

Mms doesn't seem to workeither

Does your mms work? I flashed playfulgods plague kernel and it fixed the camera

Yea mms works just not pic messaging

 

[BobZhome]

I figured out the camera issue, it will be fixed with next build.
Try sending a picture message when you have good reception(4 or 5 bars) and let me know if it works or not.
Thanks for the feedback,
Bob

Good to here about MMS working for you...and now the camera works correctly

 

[0DD]

The fix gives me error status 6

 

[BobZhome]

The fix gives me error status 6

When do you see that error?

 

[0DD]

When flashing the mms fix. It starts installing the zip then aborts it.

what recovery are you using?

 

[0DD]

cwm.
it's a common problem I think. I've seen people in playfulgod's thread complain about it but haven't seen a fix
