THANKS:
Special thanks go out to IssacJ, Tickerguy, Mantera & Whyzor for breaking ground on Source Code Development for the Motorola Triumph! With out the their hard work and efforts, none of this would be possible.

VIDEO PLAY BACK
Thanks to Izzard for recommending MX Player. The app bases specific media to be played from either HW or Software decoding in the new version. VitalPlayer also works extremely well.

KNOWN ISSUES

Sorry if I missed something, but what is the difference between CM7 and CM7.2.0. I assume that it's going to be more stable and faster??? Maybe other options???

Correct, it will be more stable as CM7 was really CM7.2 RC1. CM7.2.0 is the code finally making it to stable release from Cyanogenmod. While the CM team has said they will still add to CM7, we broke the code away from the main line so we can make this the most stable build possible for our phone.

With out getting to technical our phone is a very unique animal and lots of things that work for all the other phones do not work for ours. In the past we developers would updated the code from CM7 and it would break aspects of our phone. The goal with this project was to take the most stable code from CM team and break away from the main line of their code. This allow us to redesign CM7.2.0 code specifically for our phone.

Right now it's a pretty darn good release but since we revamped the device files and it's still in development this is a BETA release. As we get further with the code the stability should continue to get better with each release.

Really looking forward to using this. I just sent $20 dollars to help keep this moving. Thanks again for all your time and effort!

jdaman5518,

Thank you for the donation! Your donation, along with all the other donations that have been coming in is much appreciated!!! Your donation will be going towards (2) new 3.16Ghz Quad Core Xeon processors for my workstation. Since we are almost their I decided to add to the money pile and I am selling my Dx6i 6 Channel Helicopter Remote to help the cause.

Chairsho215 will be purchasing a Dell T5400 workstation like mine, in the coming weeks and I will be sending him some extra ram and processor that was purchased using previous donation from g60style. Also I believe dsmryder will also be doing the same thing. That way the three of us will all have the same setup for building the code. This saves lots of time and energy for us developers as 1-3 hours is a long time to wait for a build to complete to find out it doesn't work.

To you, and all the other donator's that has donated, we truly appreciate it!!

:party:

Hey guys, I noticing a sleep of death problem with my phone with Wifi on. Reminds me of the initial problems Tickerguy had about a year ago.. Is anyone else seeing this?

Mine keeps shutting off and i cant turn it back on unless i take out the battery, my wifi was on whenever it happened.

Yeah this is the problem with the deep sleep listed above in the Known Issues. We should hopefully have this resolved in the next build.

EDIT: I did notice this does happen when Wifi is connected and data stops. As long as pandora is running it's fine. As soon as I stop it and turn off the screen it's done.

This rocking agps support?

No, however there has been some radical changes to the gps.conf and also some updates to the boardconfig.mk to help with faster locks. I actually used one of the Alpha builds to drive me to a surprise party for my Uncle. I have never been to that house much less that area of town before and it was perfect as I could imagine. Over 3g I believe it took about 5-10 seconds to lock. After that google maps told me where to drive over my bluetooth device while I was jamming tunes. First time I have ever dared to use the GPS on our phone. But it worked perfect and google maps was pretty cool to boot. The drive was over 30 minutes and I didn't loose lock once.
