[ROM] [6/6/2012] CM7 for the Droid Pro based on GB

[Astaroth]

After FRANTIC searching and learning how to delve deep into the backbone of Android (haha, some people on here would say "you call that deep?"), I figured out how to fix the APN issue and get 3G data. I deleted this database:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

I then edited this file:

/system/etc/apns-config.xml

to add my provider's APN based on this list:

https://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist

I rebooted, and I immediately had 3G data. Now to figure out Wifi.

Did you have any issue to edit new apn? Because the very issue of this build was the wifi connecting error with gsm...
After a few days anyone can't connect wifi anymore..

 

[Astaroth]

I was unable to add a new APN using the GUI, tapping "New APN" does nothing. The way I added the new APN was by editing/replacing apns-conf.xml. To do that, you need to write a new version of the file based on the APNs link I gave above (it's basically just <apns version="6"> then whatever APN you want out of that huge list), put the file on your SD card, then mount /system as read/write (mount -o remount,rw /system), and copy the new file over from your SD card into /system/etc, replacing the existing file. Delete telephony.db and reboot. If it doesn't work immediately, try fix permissions and reboot again.

Wifi just doesn't work. I can't get it to connect at all, it detects my network but can't get an IP address from it.

BTW this link is useful if you aren't familiar with using Terminal Emulator:

While I kept running into issues with the camera on the CM9/ICS ROMs for the Droid Pro, I took a look at stats.cyanogenmod.com and saw there are almost 300 CM7 users still out there and I felt that I owe you guys something

I'm working on a new CM7 zip for those who aren't ready to take the plunge to CM9 yet.

There are a few things that have been fixed since I started working on CM9 like the annoying issue where settings stay checked has been rectified as well as the voice button working too

Once everything gets sorted out I'll post it, but it might be a day or so

This is really exciting Jackpot! Is your new build going to be compatible with the new kernel from the 4.7.3 update? If you fix the data switching issues, I am definitely returning to CM7.

 

[JackpotClavin]

I honestly can't say if it will fix the data switching issue, but what I can say is that the data switching issue is linked to the sticky settings issue which has been resolved, now so it might bode well for the data switching issue. I've also fixed the torch that was broken. As for the kernel, this will be compatible with all Official Gingerbread kernels for the Droid Pro

Edit: Also. the 1% battery counter will be back too like the old Froyo kernel from like a year back

Edit2: Wow that was an entire year ago!

 

[r3j2]

Great news! Glad to hear it. Once you post a build I'll make the switch back. I miss my cyanogenmod.

The only thing that might confuse others from the old build from November is that the new build uses the bootmenu from the CM9/ICS builds. It makes things a little confusing when backing up and restoring to other ROMs but I will go into detail how to do it properly. The good thing about the implementation of the bootmenu from the CyanogenDefy team is that it saves a lot of SBFs if your system gets hosed. It isn't 100% SBF-safe, but I, nor anybody else that I know of have had to SBF because of a bootloop because if your device doesn't boot initially, you can get into Clockwork recovery via the bootmenu to save your device

Just got charging while off working as well as the voice button working. I'll post an alpha for those willing to test it out. The thing is I don't use the Pro anymore so I don't have any voice services or data so I cannot definitely say data will work, although I can connect to Verizon and attempt to make calls although they get shot down... so voice definitely works. Netflix works as well, as does YouTube. Everything seems to work perfectly. The only things I cannot be 100% on is data (although I'm sure this works) and GSM/UMTS service because it's a Global device. I've added things necessary for GSM but I cannot test it out to see if it works

I offer myself to try and give my opinion of the operation of cm7
:icon_ banana:

 

[TooUglyForU]

Good to see you back here Jackpot. I'll be willing to test out the Rom as well with GSM.

Keep up the good work!!

 

[JackpotClavin]

I'll cook it up tomorrow and post the alpha for those willing to test it out and see if I've missed anything

 

[dettofatto]

This is a very good news! Better than ics!
I hope that you can fix the gsm/wifi data...!!
Then I can delete my little rom! ;-)
Thank you!
