There isn't a way to get GPS to work 100% yet.

CM7 themes here
[CM7 Theme Chooser] Sony, Samsung, Motorola themes for CM7 (HDPI/MDPI - Updated 13/6) - xda-developers

I downloaded and installed XperiaArc and GingerBlur.

From the theme chooser app ( already installed on the phone, part of the CM7 ROM ) I select XperiaArc and it worked fine. Update status bar, some icons and colors here and there, keyboard looks MUCH better.

When I went to apply GingerBlur, it said some assets were missing from the theme package. I could apply anyway or abort, I skipped it.

I downloaded them all. If assets are missing, install anyway. It works (it's in the thread). I still prefer the Cyanbread.

I followed the directions. 2nd I installed monster, it asks me a initial *228 type thing. When I connect to vzw, there's no phone keypad and I can't hit 1 to get initial activation.. Anyone else have this problem?

I think I've read where you have to hold down the menu key or something to access the dialpad initially.

Steven, hold down the menu button and the keyboard will pop up to use.

VoidedSaint · Jun 15, 2011

@Steven

hold down your menu button

Keyboard actually. I know it's a minute detail but my OCD got the best of me.

EDIT: Love how everyone wants to help Steven

nnnnope. no telephone keypad. can't dial the 1 needed to activate. :mad:

z0mb13m4n · Jun 15, 2011

you should just hold down the menu button, which brings up the keyboard. switch to numbers, and hit 1

VoidedSaint · Jun 15, 2011

Uber fast and FYI, I couldn't get the "new" wireless tether to work on Apex 2.0 RC2, works perfect on CyanogenMod7.

I think there are video codec issues. Streaming media from youtube and netflix still broke. However, as mentioned before, moboplayer works for some things.

txeris · Jun 15, 2011

Anybody else notice how much more available RAM you have? With similar apps/widgets, I have about 140 more MB (at 270 free right now) than .596.

Airmaxx23 · Jun 15, 2011

I got some green circle icons done for this using the uot kitchen, there is a post on this forum with the .zip for those who'd like to use it.

novemberwhiskey · Jun 15, 2011

Battery seems to not be good on CM7 beta. Woke up and dropped 30% while idle. Noticed no battery saver function like in blur.

however, i did mess with the LED notification settings and the LEDs appeared to be on consistently from whenever I got the email until I checked. so maybe that has to do with it.

novemberwhiskey · Jun 15, 2011

Man, the lockscreen here is so amazing. Don't even need widgetlocker. Why do the makers mess up what CM7 does so well? So responsive and the gestures are really cool.

What gestures? Did I miss something?

novemberwhiskey · Jun 15, 2011

Settings, lockscreen, lockscreen gestures.

You can draw gestures as shortcuts to certain tasks, like direct dialing a contact or opening an app.

I found this on the Droid X forum and didn't see it here. If it was posted then I apologize. It changes the T- CDMA thing to say Cyanogen.

Cyanogen Carrier Edit for those who don't want T-CDMA 64
