EDIT 6:

I do NOT recommend build #6, my status bar has had to FC twice in a day. it's never done that before, ever

EDIT 5:

Build #5 is really good!

EDIT 4:

Now running nightly build #3 same link as before http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=legend

Fixes:
Not quite sure, but I think when in automatic brightness there's no flickering

Bugs:
there are always bugs can't find any biggens though, I think we might be near stable...

EDIT 3 (at the top because it's important):

CM7 updated http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=legend&type=nightly

Fixes:
Torch
Charging light
Notification LED
Mobile data problems
I think it fixes 3D problems... only played a bit of Light Racer 3D

Bug reports:

Torch app doesn't fit screen and you can't scroll down. stuck with strobing at 6Hz

Signal indicator started white, but is now green, same with WiFi

No LED light when charging or when charged

LED light stays on solidly for notifications

WHOA! didn't notice this before. My 3G isn't working!

Hey Adi (or anyone reading this thread and are thinking about CM7),
I was just fiddling around with my phone, and after much hassle trying to get CM6 all set up for my phone, with the intention of getting 3G Data back, I finally gave up. I ran a Nandroid restore back to CM7, and guess what! I figured out the 3G issue - the catch is you have to add it manually. Not as nice as the automatic connection most ROMs seem to enable (that's probably why I didn't even think of it before), but hey - it works, and if the other bugs aren't an issue for you, it makes CM7 all the more worth it!

Here's a quick rundown on how I did it:
I went to "Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Acess Point Names" and realized that there was an option to add a new APN (Menu > New APN). Then I googled my network's APN (I used this website, it has most of the Canadian networks), copied over the details, and after a reboot (important step - I didn't realize I had done it right until reboot), it worked!
I hope this helps someone - the lack of data on CM7 was sure a pain in the arse, and had me looking for other options.

 

[adi19956]

I tried adding it manually... didn't work, I'll edit the post though

 

[TheLamma]

Really? That's odd...Did you double and triple check your provider's APN settings, as well as reboot when you're done? And, this might be a stupid question, but did you turn your wifi off?

 

[adi19956]

no didn't, I did reboot though and yes I turned my WiFi off.

CM7 has been updated now by the way, just about to flash it TeamDouche Mirror System

 

[TheLamma]

Hm, weird. Because my data definitely works now.

That page doesn't have an update list, and it says its a nightly build. Aren't nightlies buggy...?

 

[adi19956]

compared to the one that I posted originally, this is perfect!
it's just got another one, I'll try it in a bit

 

[TheLamma]

Your post confuses me. Lol

 

[adi19956]

it confuses me and I wrote it :rollseyes: well it's been updated again but I CBA flash another ROM

 

[adi19956]

I think the layout is easier on the eye now

 

[TheLamma]

Any bugs?

 

[adi19956]

most seem to be ironed out now. just about to flash build #6.
I just tried to flash an MIUI ROM for the G1 and Mucked up my phone
sorted now...

 

[adi19956]

hmm it's still mucked up, took me 8 tries to get to recovery and build #6 is taking aaaages

 

[TheLamma]

I'mm gonna wait on flashing those updates. Unless you're saying there was a #5 that you had just tried that was okay?

 

[adi19956]

yeah #5 was pretty good. just about to flash #7, I'm going to stop doing everyone and do every other one, restoring takes too long

 

[TheLamma]

Pretty good as in stable?
I'm a bit unsure on how flashing updates work...do you just flash in ROM Manager without checking the wipe data box, or what?
But keep me posted on any big changes!

 

[benno92]

is it safe?
and im in australia so will that be fine?

 

[TheLamma]

Adi, I'm missing your nightly updates. I'm currently on build #5, because you said it was good, but I'm not sure if I want to try out #17, because #15 and #16 have a phone FC problem. Plus, I can't find many reviews of the actual builds out there. [=

 

[TheLamma]

Oh, and just a couple of thoughts on what you posted about bugs / fixes:

Fixes:
Torch
Charging light
Notification LED
Mobile data problems
I think it fixes 3D problems... only played a bit of Light Racer 3D

.............

Signal indicator started white, but is now green, same with WiFi

No LED light when charging or when charged

LED light stays on solidly for notifications

Firstly, I didn't notice any difference with the notification LED - its still solid for me (build #5).

Secondly, I noticed you mention the indicators starting white and changing to green - I don't believe that's a bug, but is actually stating whether or not it is able to receive. For example, when I am at home, my wifi indicator turns green right away, because it only needs to connect. However, when I am at work at Starbucks, I have to go into my browser and click "agree" and "connect" and blah blah blah. My indicator stays grey (white) until I do this - and then it turns green once connected. If you ask me, this is no bug - its telling you that its connected.
