3. I would like the number of messages/emails received to show up on my home screen. I have seen it in screenshots from other users. How can I get that to work? Do I need other Apps for that or do I need to change a setting somewhere?
I found a widget that seems to do what I wanted. I will test it and report any anomalies if found. Providing a screenshot for review.
So far I am liking the new (to me) ROM, but scrolling between home screens seems to be in slow motion.. any one else experience this when flashing to a new ROM?

I could be one of many factors. The launcher, the gonernor, or system load. What launcher do you have? What governor are using?
I was on Froyocream Sandwhich before going to CM7, and it was smoother than this
I know ADW isn't the smoothest launcher out there. I also know that the default settings for interactive was set by Whyzor a little more for battery settings, not speed. I use it also, but I set it to my own custome settings with SetCPU. It takes some practice, but I have found that if I set the upkick to 65% and set the power savings to 35%. That worked for me, I would suggest trial and error for your settings.

It seems the more I use my phone, the faster things get.. could it be that its a new flash? I think I remember reading about something to that effect, but I could be wrong

On a fresh flash you don't have any cache. That does take time and will increase the time your apps load, but after that they should run just fine.
its the ADW launcher, i would bet on it lol, i love the adw launcher in this version, built in, got its own area in the settings, and it allows you to use 2 extra settings that ive never gotten if i downloaded the new ADW separate, screen transitions and workspace loop
but ADW is known to slow down and speed up at times, its just the launcher
i can even bet, if you were to download, just for test purposes, 360 launcher you would immediately notice its super smooth
ADW has grown on me so i stick with it lol even thru its little slow downs
but if you wanna just try out and see install 360 launcher while ADW is on there, adw will stay but the settings area wont say ADW anymore till 360 launcher in uninstalled, then press the home key and choose 360, check out the smoothness, then press home button again and choose ADW youll see adw isnt as smooth, but it changes pages a lil faster
Would there be a way to restore the standard stock gingerbread launcher to replace ADW?
i believe Launcher2 is what you would want, ill see if i can find 1 around for ya
but you would need to install the launcher2.apk with the file manager(or whatever file manager you use) and then just uninstall the adw and reboot and it should all be fine
note: some widgets you may have had May remain on the screen, or some widgets that are usually on the stock launcher may appear, but they will probly crash "Problem Loading Widgets", deleting the crashed ones and just replacing the widget should fix it
also most if not all of the app icons you had placed on your homescreens will need to be put back
Here i pulled this launcher2.apk from g60's CM7 so it should work fine

To uninstall ADW, do I use the file manager also? Sorry for the inconvenience, but you are being a great help
Edit- Or replacing ADW with launcher2.apk in the script maybe?
The best way is to edit the .zip. The app is located in system\apps. Just delete ADW.apk and you should be good to go as launcher2.apk has always been installed by default.
I don't know if it's been mentioned but you may want to download g60-final ROM.
While Whyzor's ROM is solid there is a few issues I resolved that where major bugs like volume issue with notifications, and also the proximity sensor. Also I took out AWD of the build a long with all the other apps not needed like rom manger, file manager, terminal, as they all can be downloaded from the market. Just an FYI.

Can someone tell me how to stop the 4 touch buttons at the bottom of the phone to stop flickering?
I see people posting this from time to time. I haven't had my buttons flicker yet. I have had them change light levels kinda quickly. One way, assuming I know what you are talking about, would be to set you button light levels to something close. It would be under CyanogenMod settings--> Display--> Automatic Settings--> Edit other levels. You may have to change the number of levels (at the bottom) to make the settings stick.
You could also try one of the more up-to-date CM7 variants. G60 style, or the one that's under construction, MTDEV. They are all based off of the same code. MTDEV is a fresh start, but just started from a clean sheet and fast forwarded.
i noticed it on g60 rom and this rom as well! The flickering even did it way back on tickerguy cm7 rom on my old triumph! Im running miui now and no issues with that as well! Funny since their coming from the same sources

Welldiagnosticly, I wonder if it's a flicker or a quick change in brightness? Sense it's never happened to me I can't say one way or another.
Would you mind posting your setings for your backlight? And I mean all of them, light sensor filter, allow light decrease and maybe a sxreenshot of your light sensor levels.
Im running miui at the moment. Unless you want a screenshot of the settings on miui lol
No.LOL. I would only want something that I can use to work on MTDEV.
On that note (don't feel like reading who I was talking to) The reason the Sharp ROM and some of the other ROMs don't have a "flicker" is they don't vary the button backlights. They only have full brightness or off. Under CM7, and one of my favorate features, there's a setting to vary the button brightness with the screen brightness. One could set the rules to their liking, which I do. I would like to know if the people who have a flicker would like to test out some settings with the buttons set to a less varied amount for me. I can guide them if nessesary.

Holla
The flicker is caused by PWM (pulse width modulation) it is a control mechanism for electric motors and lights, LED especially, It pulses the electricity to have the desired effect, such as controling the speed of the motor or never giving the light enough time to reach full brightness. Just figured I would throw this out there for anybody that didn't know. Good luck guys.

Yeah, but I don't have a flicker. I really think it's not a flicker, but a on-off deal caused by being at the edge of that part of the table.
I have the last build of cm7 and I really like it but on the lock screen it shows the time in 24 hour format. I have check in the settings to change this and the one I found was not checked (I believe that is for the home screen clock though). Is there a way to change the lockscreen time format to show a 12 hour format?

Under settings, look for Date and time. From there look for the "Use 24-hour format" button.

That is the one I checked on and it was unchecked and that is for the homescreen time format. The one I can't seem to find is for the lock screen, which mine shows 24 hour format time when my homescreen shows 12 hour format

Well, I tried it and it changes my time for the whole system time. Do you have a custom lock screen? I don't think there's a different lock screen time format.
I do not think its custom, I used CM7-TG-Reloaded-2012-03-25 and I assume its part of that. I installed the same rom on wife's phone and it does same thing. I've been using it a while now it doesn't bother me that much but the wife would like the 12 hour format. Maybe I should try a custom lock screen?

Not yet. I haven't running Whyzor's work for a while. Well, not sense g60, Whyzor, and mantera tought me how to build. Well you have some choices. You could try one of G60's ROMs, the work he did when Whyzor left or his new one MTDEV
The first one is a continuation of what you have now. The second is a start-from-scatch that has some improvments in over all that has been done.
The other choice you have is wait untill someone figures out what is going on on you ROM.
Another thing I can recommend is to do a nandroid backup of what you have and try one of the ROMs listed. If you want to move I would recommend SMSBackup to backup your messages so you can move them to the new ROM.
Hi,
Thanks for the excellent work. I successfully installed and have a working unit. However, I find that although initially the phone was fast responding, now it has slowed down. Specifically I see (through SeePU app) that the processor is always at work (the bar is almost all the time red, means processor is 80-100 % in use) and memory slowly goes down and does not recover. My personal experience of the difference between Froyo and Gingerbread has been the more efficient handling of the memory. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a memory leak. That points to either a bad flash/download, our a naughty app. I would start with a reflash, then introduce the apps one at a time.
So I love this rom, but it can be quite buggy and I'm 90% its the ICS animations. Is there anything I could flash to remove them? Other than that its great, the battery life is incredible.
I would recommend installing the mtdev-cm7 rom. Its much more stable due to the fact whyzor's build is based on cm7 rc1 and MTDEV is based on cm7.2 stable. Also we have updated a lot of the library files for the phone including fixing lots of bugs. You should see in increase in overall performance and battery life.

I can second that remark. We also included some tweaks and are still making more. Plus, you can get a heads up on our ICS and JB ROMs.

Missing the Android Market/Google Play
I flashed this ROM along with the gapps, but the Play Store/Android Market appears to be missing. Is there a more up to date version of this or is this an issue with my ROM/gapp.zip flashing?
Thanks.

Flashed the other ROM and the gapps. Still didn't show. I cleared data, cache, and Dalvik and then flashed the ROM. After it finished I flashed the gapps and then rebooted, but the gapps don't show; just Google Talk. Am I doing something wrong?

You might have a bad download of gapps. Make sure it's named with GB in it.

That means you are only flashing gapps Talk. There are two different zip files for CM7. One is called just gapps. The other is called gapp Talk.
Is there another rom with stable tethering? I love this rom because tethering works really well once I force it to use evdo...... email works fine.... but nothing else really works.... 2/3 of apps just randomly disappear or FC....

Have you tried CM7 by MTDEV. It had it working, I haven't tested it myself for like 6 months, but it should work. If it doesn't please report it and I can put it on my list of things to do.
