Brave souls haha

If the GB D2 OTA does happen, I'd definitely give the CM7GB for D2 a try, in the mean time I might just keep living vicariously through yinz.

Flashed #54 this morning. I need to start using WIFI ... I'm six days into my VZW plan cycle and have already burned through a gig of data.

I wanna flash it and check it out, but the camera/video issue is a deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll check it out when they get that fixed. I hope it doesn't take too long to fix.

I rarely use my camcorder so I'm totally gonna flash this today sometime.

Plus, havens, you know it will be fixed within days so unless you need your camcorder this week give it a shot!

[havens1515]

I don't use my camcorder too often outside of practice (and we don't start practice for another couple weeks) but I do use my camera fairly often. Plus I have seen some other people say that ANY video won't play, so I don't really want that. I may take the plunge this weekend but, unless the camera is fixed before that, I most likely won't flash it during the week.

 

[ldopa]

Oh, ANY video? That's totally different. If I can't watch netflix or youtube, ill hold off too.

I'll just jump on build 54 for now.

From page 173:

Thanks dude! Guess you beat me to it! Glad it worked out! So um..I noticed there is no vid whatsoever? You gonna hang with it for a few days?


CM74D2 runnin to gingy kernal..

But then:

you can play video on a 3rd party video player. im using arcmedia. wont play .3gp which is the format the camera films.

So idk exactly what WILL play and what WON'T


ADDENDUM:

From Page 170:

I just installed cm7 with the gingerbread kernal. Seems nice so far, obviously there are a few bugs, camera, anything to do with video, and slightly worse 3g and wifi. No 1% battery fix so its a little hard to tell how battery life is but so far I think it has improved at least a little bit.

I think the 3G and wifi issue mentioned here have been fixed, but I'm pretty sure the video issues still exist, since they are fairly sure the video issues are linked to the camera.

Haven't tried netflix yet. I'm having trouble with my gps not working. Other than that all is smooth. Maybe mounting /system before flashing the battery patch messedup the gps. Gonna reflash everything after work today.

Simon - I think there is something odd about GPS on the new Gingerbread CM7 build....on the one hand, it does appear to be getting my location, on the other, there isn't any icon in the status bar, and GPS Test isn't showing any satellites or GPS signal strength.

At home now, so I can't test it's ability to track my progress in the car or navigate, etc.

Anyone else using the new Gingerbread CM7 build, try GPS Test app to check GPS, or used GPS for tracking movement or navigation. Kind of unclear what's working w/GPS and what isn't for me at this point.

Netflix isn't working for me on the GBCM7...launches, allows you to select a movie to play, play screen opens but the movie doesn't start playing, just sits on playback screen.

Just to clear this up, almost anything related to video doesn't work. That means youtube netflix and even quadrant(quadrant does some kind of video test) . Some people can get certain third party stuff working though. I tried a third party youtube player and it diddnt work. Games work but they are not really related to video.

If i'm already running the gingerbread leak, do I just need to wipe and install? Is that a zombie 1.7?

You have just been post pwned

Yes, just flash it like you would any rom with a GB Kernal.

I'm back to 54 froyo...but it was much better battery..need that vid fixed..and btw..gps worked but for some reason the status bar doesn't show either way? But if you don't need vid for a bit or camera...its definately doable! Good work to all involved...nice to see the hard work pay off! Go gingy!
