Root [ROM][Beta][FINAL] CM7 Android For Triumph [Tickerguy Edition, Kernel: mine] 11/19

You shouldn't have to, provided you were on the current GAAPS version (in the top post) and do NOT clear /system.

Do not clear system? I did format the system before updating to the BETA from the last ALPHA build.. should I have not done that?

Also, 3G is connected but icon is not turning green and not allowing me to connect to Google sites/apps..

Nevermind.. I see what I did now.. since I cleared SYSTEM, I need to flash the Google apps again. Do we need to wipe system in future builds and flash GAPPS?

EDIT: TG beat me to it.. thanks! :)

I haven't tried my bluetooth headset until now, and I am having some issues with it. I had a normal phone call and it worked fine, until I ended the call. It went right into Airplane mode. So I took it back out, then later had another call so I talked and when I hit End, it turned off my bluetooth. Now, whenever I finish a call, it shows it's still connected, but never actually sends the audio to my headset. The phone screen also stays green and never turns blue like it is on bluetooth. I have to turn off bluetooth and then re-connect to it. I also tried to find if it was a setting, but couldn't find too much. Is anyone else having this problem? It could be my headset as it's BlueAnt. Thanks for any help!

I am still having an issue with using Wifi. Not while the phone is asleep, but awake. I am having to stream content via 3G because as soon as Wifi is enabled, my CPU is locked at 100% speed/usage which makes any apps that I use for streaming (such as netflix or crackle) lock up. Does ANYONE have any suggestions on what this might be and how I may correct it? Everything lags severely and locks up when Wifi is enabled. Is anyone experiencing this? I did a complete factory wipe and reflashed the ROM and GAPPS.

EDIT: If I received data speeds better than 128kbps I wouldn't care :-/

Can I use the Umph Kernel with this? sorry in advance if it's a stupid question im kind of a noob at this stuff:eek:
There is an overclocking kernel somewhere on the forums that will work with CM7, but it will break all of the FFC improvements that were made in the 10/2 build and later (and maybe the other improvements as well, I'm not sure).

Does it do it on the stock rom? Perhaps there's something wrong with your phone if it does.

Also, what are you using to see that your cpu usage is locked at 100%? Perhaps it's the monitoring app or another app that you have installed causing it? Have you tried having wifi enabled on a bare cm7 + gapps? with nothing custom installed?

Basically just trying to narrow down if it's a software problem or something wrong with your phone. I run on wifi all of the time and have not had the issue that you state.

Okay, that's good advice. No, I have always been able to use Wifi. In fact, I set it to never sleep because signal is very weak in my area. I have a widget on my home screen and I open up SetCPU to view the current clock/usage to verify. It usually sits around 245mhz with the screen on and idle. I turn on Wifi and let it sit and the CPU usage never drops below 100%. It just sits there which keeps all programs from running the way they should. 3G works fine but the constant buffering is irritating.

I will do what you suggested. I will factory reset the phone, load the ROM and then turn on Wifi to see if the issue is still occurring. SOMETHING on my phone doesn't like Wifi on at all and I aim to find it. I was just curious if anyone else was having an issue and/or if it was related to the known wifi wake lock issue and the memory leak issue.

This page seems to be helpful. The string mentioned though is not there in my framework so just use those directions but instead of res/values/strings.xml and deleting resources.arsc while compiling use res/xml/eri.xml and delete res/xml/eri.xml when asked in compiling. Remember that it is a system apk.

[TIP] How to change the carrier name - xda-developers


EDIT* I did it and tried to flash over the framework but for some reason it was not changing the carrier name. When I used the battery mod zip and placed my framework in there it was successful. Long story short. Here is the site to get the battery mod

[MOD] 1% Battery icons for CM7 10-2 Tickerguy build - xda-developers

Just right click select 7zip "Extract to "cm7_10-2_batteryicon/"" then go into system/framework and use that framework-res.apk to edit. Use the same directions as I gave before. But this time res/xml/eri.xml will say

<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="1" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="CyanogenMod 7" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0" />

Just change CyanogenMod 7 to what you want

That is if you want to do it yourself; which can be gratifying. BUT

I still have all of the files needed so If you want I can make it for you and post the zip. Just tell me the name you want. It will take me all of 5 minutes.

Well, it took an hour or so of battling with my PC to get it to read my phone as well as ADB, but it was well worth it to get it working on my own. For your info, here's why it didn't work using his empty zip file: he says it's designed for ext3, and that it may not work with ext4, which TickerGuy currently uses in his build. No worries, though--TickerGuy was kind enough to have perfect timing by releasing a new build right as I finished setting up the .apk, so I just flashed it with that (with no problems, thankfully--though I didn't see a reason for there to be any).

It was fun figuring that out. Reminded me of my old high school C++ class (it and another CSC course I took in college are the only experience I have with programming, though I'm always up for learning more about it, as it's rather fun if not frustrating). Thanks for the helpful info and everything. :cool: Maybe I'll urge myself to learn a bit more, though I'd like to have a spare, dummy phone before trying anything drastic. heh

EDIT: Now that I think of it, could you theoretically edit the file itself each time you flash one of the new builds by doing all of the steps required but without having to pull it from the phone, just the zip file? That would not only make it easier but would ensure I'm still getting any updates the framework apk might get, if any at all.

Yeah there's definitely a plethora of issues related to the wifi. I haven't had this particular issue, but I've had several issues related to the wifi, with things that have absolutely nothing to do with the wifi. Hopefully ticker can work out the wifi issues. Motorola should definitely replace their whole Triumph dev team with him cause he's done a way better job with this phone than they did.

Yes, you could just pull the framework-res.apk file from the ROM, make the changes, then put the file back into the ROM and then flash the whole thing. You don't need to pull it from your phone. It's much quicker just to grab it from the ROM Zip file.

I couldn't agree more.. not to mention my STOCK triumph contained way more issues than what I am having now.

By the way, I pinpointed the issue with my Wifi.. I am RIGHT NOW streaming Netflix on Wifi without any flaws whatsoever.. the problem occurs the instant I turn on bluetooth at the same time as Wifi. Turns out that when I stream wifi and use wired headset as opposed to bluetooth headset the CPU is at normal usage and I experience no lagginess or lockups. So now my question is, can anyone else stream content via wifi and listen to audio via bluetooth stereo. NOTE: It is not my headset causing the issue because it occurs when bluetooth is enabled and my headset hasn't been turned on yet.
I wonder why bluetooth and wifi being on simultaneously is causing such severe lockups on my phone?

AH, thank you. I didn't even think about that. It is rather fun to figure those type things out then show off your edited work to friends. I was changing the boot image and animation today along with more editing of the framework.
Yes you can edit each framework. I just finished editing the most current framework-res.apk. Tickerguy said on that batterymod website I posted that most of his changes have been on the framework.

http://androidforums.com/triumph-al...1-battery-icons-cm7-10-2-tickerguy-build.html

So it would probably be good to go ahead and just edit the most current framework instead of flashing an older one onto it.

Ah. Well then I'll just re-download it, edit that file and re-flash it then. No worries, there.
