Root CM7 Random Issue Thread

[kingjay2012]

ok i have had metamorph pro for a while now and just downloaded metamorph, when i first started off morphing everything was going through just fine, now i have playfulgod rom 07282011 and some of the themes im trying to morph from theme choosers theme isnt working and when it say it requires a reboot and i press yes it says rebooting and it keeps prompting for a reboot, am i doing something wrong?

 

[kevinrubio]

Just reboot yourself manually, either from taking out the battery or just reboot without pressing the optionit gives you to reboot. And it'll work

 

[kingjay2012]

I have to reboot manually but the theme still doesnt appear as far as changes.

 

[kevinrubio]

this happens with all themes?

Alright heres the 2 files I put in CM7 from CM6 that made the lights work, that I threw up on my Mediafire. You CAN get to the system>lib>hw section via Root Explorer. But I dont know if after doing this in RE if the 2 files will stick after a reboot.

First download this: LightsFixCM7.zip

Put it on your SD card and in root explorer or an alike app long press it and select extract.

Then move both files to system>lib>hw and paste them both in there.

And youre done. You may have to reboot and honestly I dont even know if it will "stick" after a reboot. I did all this on the computer and flashed the zip so I dont know if this method will completely work. But if someone wants to try it out and see if it works and sticks, leave a comment if it does!

I tried this with root explorer and it didn't work either my screen light flickers when phone light is off or a dim light is on the whole time can you give me a copy of the old one for the lights I didn't copy it first

Edit: never mind I just did a restore

Flash PG's new 09122011 build. He put them in there so the lights work.

Theres a trick to get it to work. Ive never done it tho. Ive heard people say it will work if you turn your phone off plug the headset in and then turn your phone on.

it didn't work for me, I would hear the other person thru the phone speaker, not the headset, even though the headset icon was displayed on the bar

I'm almost switching to PG 2.2...

Does the head set work on PlayfulMod v1.1?

Does the head set work on PlayfulMod v1.1?

I belive so, AFAIK the headset problem is CM7 related...

 

[Johnny Crapple]

i flashed the new build thanks it works fine

 

[gamomoftwo]

My friend has this phone for MetroPCS, but after rooting and installing CM7, the headset jack isn't functioning properly:

While on a call, she can't hear anything on the other end, but the person can hear her just fine.

Has anyone had this issue or know of a fix?

Had the same thing, someone told me to turn off the phone, plug in the headset, then turn on the phone, somehow it got it working.

Hi everyone
A while back I purchased a Ascend. I did update it to 2.3 However my problem is that when you use the player,gps,voice etc it has very low volume max volume is still way low. Anyone with this problem and a fix without actually having to buy a app? any ideas?
Thanks

 

[Can0dope]

If you have 2.3 that means you're on cm7, right? I'm pretty sure cm7 comes with DSP Manager, the newer builds do anyways. Use that to adjust the volume to your liking. If you don't have it for whatever reason, just Google DSP Manager.apk or wait for someone to post a link...

Have you tried any of the more recent builds? I know there's been at least 3 new builds since those, I think more like 5 or 6.

I had the same problem when I went to CM7-09132011. If your on Cricket just go into your App Drawer and go down and select Voice dialer. Then say APN and it should give you an option to Open APN. Go in and edit Cricket and change the user name to (your 10digit phone number)@mms.mycricket.com and set Authentication Type to "Pap or Chap" then hit the menu button and save it..

Atleast it fixed mine..

If you can't get it going, flash back to stock, restore your backups, go into settings, then accounts, then sync contacts with your Google account. You'll have them no matter what ROM or phone you use. And if you don't want to sync any contacts you might have on your account with your phone, make a Google account that you'll use for contacts only, and sync with that. You can have multiple accounts, after all.

You can also create a shortcut to APN settings using Anycut if Voice Dialer won't work for you (didn't for me.) Just run it, tap New shortcut, tap Activity, scroll down and tap APNs.

I had a s dickens of a time with syncing.
I find it much easier to just save contacts to SD card.

Open contacts > menu> import/export contacts > export to SD card

flashed back to CM7

repeated steps and chose > import from SD card

Brought em right back with their contact images too.

You could try to install the new one. I've got it here.

Ok, I Downloaded It, And It Workeddd, Buttt.. When I Click The "Market" App.. It Says. " You Must Have A Email For This, Create One Now. Yes OR No" I Click "Yes" And It Just Takes Me To My Home Screen.. And Does Nothing.

 

[Scur]

So when you say you unhacked then redone CM7, what did you do exactly? You have your Google account added, right? If it was me, I would do a clean flash of CM7.
