Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM7 build 2013-03-03

Geez with all the releases I have become a ninja at flashing and installing everything fresh from the market. What used to take hours I can now do in under half an hour. :)

Thanks Chairshot, G60, and the rest of the MTDEV crew for all your hard work!

Best app I use is Titanium Backup it's free and backs up your apps. So wipe, reload setup market install Titanium Backup and restore.

I was under the impression that freshly installing everything was recommended... Is that incorrect?
I have used titanium backup and appextractor in the past, but I thought it was recommended to install everything fresh to avoid problems. Maybe I was wrong about that.

No not at all, the only thing we recommend is doing a full wipe and reload ROM. From there it's safe to restore apps. If the app is having problems you can always wipe cache on the app under settings < apps. That usually works fine.

hahaha. Oh man, I feel like I goof. I must have misread a post on here or something(likely after knocking a few cold ones back) and got that idea stuck in my head and I've been doing fresh installs of all my apps for a while now.

Thanks for the info g60. My flashes will be much easier now. :smokingsomb:

About the only thing I can add is when switching from FroYo to GB or ICS....
I would consider redownloading an app that goofs up. On a rare occasion the app isn't made to work with the newer APIs and can have issues. What I would do is wait for a failure then update. I haven't had that for quite a while, but it can happen.

OK, I see. G60 fixed what I messed up. I added in a part to the updater script that in later versions of CWR would somehow mess up the process. That has been removed and I will update my CWR so I don't do something like that again.

Guys, I'm sorry. You are used to better than that. You will get better than that.

If I get this other MT I will be able to test under a wider veriety of conditions and will be able to produce better work.

Hey I gotta say today's build is quite fancy fast! Since I had got my replacement I had been running on a tweaked stock rom(I know lame of me right!!) And today I got a notion to download this latest build and flash it!

Dude it's sweet and so far no wifi issues or cm settings not sticking issues. Everything runs smooth!! Nice work guys!!

With the pro licence you can create a backup zip that you can flash when you flash a new rom & gapps. Remember to run as a system app (you can select option when creating zip). Worked quite well for me while flashing last mtdev cm7.2 rom.

The free version of Titanium also allows you to create a zip file for restore.

It isn't necessary to make it a system app but the only catch is if you make it a user app is you can't apply update.zip right after loading the new ROM/gapps but you need to do it later after the phone has initialized. I'm not sure which way is better or that it really matters.

I just like how titanium shows up in app drawer when using system app option after flashing all 3 (rom, gapps & update. zip) on reboot. Have had pro for a while now, but since zip can be created with free version others can save $$. If anybody wants to try this, im sure they can use whichever method floats their boat :dontknow:

cheers!

reflashed the latest 9.23
and still I have a blue and green video playback when I take a video and still very very choppy but the color thing is totally weird its normal colors with taking pictures and records in normal colors but then as soon as it goes to preview box everything is heavily tinted like the RGB is off.
Anyone else expeiriencing this?

Just as soon as I say no widow issues I start having them! Still having the issue where if you reboot with wifi on it keeps turning itself on over and over again until you reboot again, and it will connect to wifi networks but most of the time the icon stays gray and the internet wont work or it will turn green but the internet still wont work. It seems to be a DNS issue. Its done this on several networks including my home!

And has anyone had an issue where while in call it will mute your call then when you try to turn the screen on to unmute it, it drops the call? Its done this to me on just about every cm build. Not sure what's causing it!

Just thought I'd throw in some bug reports here!!
