Root CM7 RC2 - Incredible

shred1 · Mar 18, 2011

Flashed last night and seems to be working well. This is my first non-sense rom so it takes a little getting used to.

I've been stuck in the cyangen bootloop many times now.I have given up on it for the time being and have reverted to virtuous.Some say it is enabling wifi.

When its fixed ill be back.

has anyone tried and other kernels for better battery?

I noticed that after flashing RC2, the leading battery drainer for my phone is now "Display" which consumes over 25% of every charge.

I am coming over from Virtuous 3.2 where dicplay was a very small drain.

Anyone else seeing this?

You need to "Wipe" data, cache, delvic (advanced) first. You're most likely having an issue with the fact that you have Froyo System files and are trying to boot GB.

Perform a backup, then full wipe, and flash. I good thing to do first is use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and such, but when you restore, just restore "Missing Apps and data".

The issue I've have from time to time is in the actual charging process. I read somewhere that when some phones were brought up from 1.6 to 2.+, they ran into some issues with charging. Well, right now I cannot use my normal chargers, all chargers that have worked in the past. They go from Charging to not charging, actually draining my battery faster. When this happened during the first set of nightlies (pre-RC1), I eventually switched to MIUI to get away from GB and it worked fine. Now, I'm back and the charging issue has returned. Fortunately, I've since picked up an 1800mA battery, so I can get by with just swapping batteries, but it's certainly more than annoying.

Trouble is, I haven't seen anyone with this same issue on the DInc. That or I just don't know what to search for. Has anyone heard of or seen this personally? And if so, any suggestions on how to correct it?

So with CM7 for some reason my apps button on the bottom between dialer and browser has gone away so now I can't access my apps. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I'm assuming you've fixed this by now, but incase anyone else has this problem at some type just do the following:

Press-Hold Home Screen
From list of items to add, select "Launcher Actions"
Click third option down, "Open/close App Drawer"

This is function of ADW Launcher, not CM7.

Bluemumba · Mar 21, 2011

Well I thank everyone for there help but I was able to flash the Rom by downgrading clockworkMod to 2.5x.x. I have also notice that the rom does have a lot of display use for battery drain. I may try different screen colors to see if it helps

gparadox · Mar 27, 2011

Im not sure what to do; besides doing a reformat. I put Mod 7 RC 2 twice now; but everytime I turn the phone off and then try to turn it back on; the loops animation just keeps going and going; Doesn't stop.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What version of CWM are you running? You need 3.0.x.x. It souns like you have a 2.5.x.x version

I have CWM 3.0.0.8. I upgraded before installing cyanogen.

However, I think I did find the problem. Whenever I run Titanium Backup to restore my app data; the next time I turn off the phone it will loop on the restart.

I must be restoring something I'm not supposed to.

Has anyone switched over to RC3 yet, I'm downloading it now.

mlam93 · Mar 29, 2011

ive been on rc 3 all day, not bad battery i guess, same as the others, display takes up most of it. had a little hiccup before where the unlock screen was frozen. i was still able to reboot from holding the power button. all in all everything seems to be working fine, ill give a day or two before my final verdict.

I had the same problem on my lockscreen once (with RC3), all has been fine since a reboot though.

Rigg3L · Mar 30, 2011

I switched to RC3 from MIUI, and have been getting random reboots but seems nice so far.

xzero425x · Mar 30, 2011

im going to wait a little longer to see about RC3, if someone can post a "review" on how it is from RC2 that would be great..like does the battery life get any better.

Autonomy · Mar 30, 2011

I just switched to RC4, RC3 would reboot on me every time I plugged it in to charge but it wouldn't boot back up, just stay at the CM screen... one of the random nightlies did that same thing to me, hopefully 4 clears that up.

tluv00 · Mar 30, 2011

Upgrading to RC4 right now from RC3. Clockwork 3.* doesn't seem to work with it. I am still on CW 2.5 and CM7 works fine.

sdrawkcab25 · Mar 30, 2011

Cyanogen recommends only using clockwork 3.*** for cm7. Clockwork 2.*** will work but may cause issues.

jmar · Mar 31, 2011

RC4 is out but no nightly build after 32??? Weird.

bgrutter · Apr 1, 2011

Anyone notice vastly decreased boot times? I'm loving how quick it boots. Been since either RC3 or RC4. Hard to say which, since 3 was only out for like a week before 4 was released (or so it seemed).

Side Note: Would any of the mods mind changing the title of the thread to not specify RC2?

pharpe · Apr 4, 2011

I'm on RC2 right now. If I want to go to RC4 do I need to wipe, install RC4, and then restore or can I just install RC4 on top of what I have now?

You should be able to flash over top. For whatever reason, I had to reflash GApps. Personally, I'd recommend just wiping and Flashing. With big updates like this, I just like to start fresh, that way I KNOW there are no prior system data conflicts.
