Root [ROM][WIP]CM7 Port for Vortex VS660

Here's a logcat I ran while Enabling/Disabling Mobile data, International roaming & National roaming. First I enabled all three then I disabled. If you want me to run a logcat while trying to run the camera I'll do so too. I noticed the logcats are a lot more detailed when running through terminal :eek: or at least they appear to be.

Enable/Disabling Mobile data


Edit:

BTW, If you leave the charger plugged in when powering off the device it goes right back on.

Also reflashing from nandroid backup seems to have stopped the screen issue I was experiencing... for now. I wiped everything before restoring from backup, including battery stats & rotate settings. Market issues quit too.

Placing phone call drops mobile data
(was not an issue... stock rom can't talk & surf either)

When placing a phone call I lose mobile data connectivity.
Is that just a limitation of the baseband/kernel? & the cell signal indicator displays no signal (Doesn't happen in stock).

FYI, the issue with the camera is probably the same issue that occurred when the LG Ally was being devved - Velocity being the ROM I was most familiar with. The camera software is proprietary from LG. Not sure what the devs did to get that working, but you might try contacting some of the devs on that project - Getinnowmarketing might have some info about it.

I'm really wishing the data port on my phone worked right now! Adapter for the memory card should arrive soon though, then I can help test your rom.

Do you expect the camera to be working with the new permissions?
My main goal with this release was to fix the animation, with a minor goal of fixing camera. Hopefully, both issues have been fixed!

Just flashed the 11-09-11 version.

Camera: I get "Camera Error: Cannot connect to camera."

Before disabling animations: With 11-03-11, I could get back to the lockscreen after clicking around a bit, now, I can't seem to get back in. (Pulled battery, then disabled animations.)

After disabling animations, pressing Home from standby actually brings up the lockscreen now. (Previous version just brought up black screen, requiring me to touch the screen in order to see anything.)

More testing to follow.

Please re-read! I fixed a typo that would have been dangerous if followed!

Download the zip file that's attached to this post, extract the build.prop file to the root of your SDcard, then use either RootExplorer or ADB to replace the build.prop file already in the /system/ folder in the phone, then change the permissions to rw-r--r-- on the new one. Once you've done that, reboot your Vortex, and you should have signal.

What You'll Notice: When you get your signal, the Roaming indicator will be stuck, but 3G and Call and Texting strength will be shown in the notification bar and they both work. That's what the "Roaming Indicator" bug BobZhome was referring to in the topic's opening post.

Yep

The latest build is working just fine for me with the previously mentioned issues - lockscreen animations, and camera - still not working as reported and expected. I have had no other issues with anything - wifi works well, battery life continues to be good, call signal is strong, 3G works well, no market issues, no compatibility issues, no random reboots or freezes.

Keep up the fine work! :D

My camera log. Any help with the rotation issue yet? Won't even rotate my pictures...

Camera.log - Pastebin.com
Thanks for the log!
There are still a ton of "W/PackageManager( 1392): Unknown permission" in the log...can someone with the STOCK ROM, grab me the init.* files(yes, more than one-may be 3 or 4) from the root director.

The rotation issue is probably the "KR3DM" errors in the log, which relates to the gyroscope... I'll look into the AMI304 drivers.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114481

Here's the init files from stock 2.2.2 rom.

Kappacat beat me to it by 11 mins lol ;-)

Vortex Stock Init Files

Issues I am having:

None of the sensors on the device work, with the exception of the proximity sensor (Already known). Heres a log I ran while running sensors application. I'm probably gonna upload a log from stock too. Maybe you can compare the two.

Working great, aside from previously mentioned issues:

Camera error: Cannot connect to camera
No 3G data (until enabling international data roaming)
Screen won't rotate (Labyrinth, a game that relies solely on what angle the device is tilted, is also unresponsive in this manner)
Black unlock screen / on/off animation issue

I had the Market "insufficient space" issue. Uninstalling the Market update, and letting it re-update itself fixed the issue.

Google Voice "unexpectedly closed" (FC) every time I tried to run it. A re-install fixed the issue.

Overall, the phone runs much smoother. It's like an entirely different phone.
