[ROM] [BETA] CyanogenMod 7 for Droid 2

[droid2drummer]

so i got my extended battery and im charging it right now. i also just purchased one of those 3500mAh batteries....i figured it such a good deal why not get it while its hot cant wait to use my 1800mAh battery and see how much more battery life i get.

Its probably gonna take awhile to condition these batteries. Its doing about the same or a little worse than stock at the moment.

Yeah I was wondering with it being after market if it would give more life or bout the same..but extra batts are always good! I heard from a few people getting regular stock voltage batts for under five bucks.. but lemme know guys how the extendeds work.. also, crazy off topic question.. why is htc such a bixxx to root? Seems like we would just use verizons motorola rsd to put the file in and just flash, but guess after studying up, the brand new bricked eris I've been trying to fix will have to wait till I have patience enough to mess with it...

*Yup just flashed that one too!*

Got the new battery huh? Hope it works out nice! I'm using 2 standard ones. It's been great and cheap. Make sure you charge it uninterrupted and calibrate that baby!

Is anyone having an issue with Pandora? With other ROMS it only took 10 seconds or so for Pandora to fire up. With CM7/40 its been taking a minute or more to start up.... any idea why?

Thanks.

I'm having tons of issues with Pandora too, and I'm on MIUI 1.85.

But it also happened all the time on stock, so I think its just Verizon's network being stupid.

Wowie. Nightly 40 was so bad. I don't know what happened. My phone kept boot looping even after wiping data/cache. For some reason it would be stuck in airplane mode, and you could not reboot into recovery. I ended up having to sbf. Still left with a bitter taste so I am staying with rooted froyo for now, overclocked of course. When there's an official release of cm7, I will be the first to install it!

You screwed something up. I installed build #40 today (clean), and it's working fine.

 

[jfriend33]

You are probably right, but I have done nothing different. I didn't install any new apps or change any settings. Still confused as to why I couldn't boot into recovery.

Ok so I recently went from nightly 20-something all the way to 40...and there seems to be nothing different. Am I missing something, or are they just releasing the same thing over and over?

Read the changelogs. Those will tell you what the differences are.

Certain things I noticed while running 40:

- Data connection would hiccup one of both ways:
- a particular app would be unable to use it while others did (Market!)
- it would act like its in airplane mode while showing bars albeit a few of them

- The keyboard:
- the bakclight works for me and i'm not on AUTO, so that's awesome (for me anyways)
- AltLock doesn't work but tapping ALT twice does the trick

- Battery life:
- the meter or the script exagerates the voltage difference charging super fast on a wall outlet and super slow via USB hub.
- while the charging discrepancies are weird, I do seem to be getting a day's use
- overall battery performance i dont think is up to par with rooted stock

...off to flash 43!!

Alt-lock is a known issue, and has been since day 1 of this ROM. Other known issues include:
stock live wallpapers do not work (but market ones do)
USB sometimes needs to be plugged-unplugged-plugged to work (Turning off USB debugging seems to fix this)
voice-commands over Blue Tooth do not work

I think the market issue with data is a problem with the new market app (if you're using the new version.) I have noticed that it has issues connecting randomly, while other apps seem to have no problem.

Battery life has been good for some people and not-so-good for others. I think a lot of it is your personal expectation of your battery, but some of it is from 2nd-init too I think.

The slow usb charge is something I've experience even on stock unrooted roms. I don't think the usb charge provides as much current as a wall charge. You can power on your phone with no battery while connected to a wall plug but no while connected to your computer, unless you have a usb programming cable which is different from the usb cable that comes with your phone.
