CM7 help.

Ok this is the first time I ever used CM anything. I figured out how to get the gapps but how to integrate my DB contacts with my reg. Ones? I've been on myn's so I don't know what I have been missing. I even read the wiki on this.
1. Fb integration
2. Changing toggles in notification bar.
3. Finding a red/black theme
4. Swype for cyan ?
5. Anything else useful I should know.
Please and thank you! (I'll be sure to hit the thank button if you help me.)

By DB contacts do you mean from a microsoft exchange account? Best to export them to a .vcf file and import them to your phone.
1. install facebook, under settings, accounts and sync, check the sync contacts box. That'll link it.
2. Settings, cyanogenmod settings, interface, notification power widget.
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11760329#post11760329
4. Go onto swype's website, sign up NOW, they'll send you an email with instructions. Do it now because its a beta that will close soon. Its still free.
5. Enjoy it.

I flashed the themes from the destroyer ROM over CM7 and they work great as well. They will give you a lot of options, about 13 in the theme manager.

Contrary to what the person above me said, most themes you no longer need to flash. CM has the T-Mobile Theme Engine now, which just lets you side-load an APK, then select the theme in the Theme Manager app, then reboot. That's it!
No more flashing crap that breaks on every other update.

where are they? My CM theme manager only came with 3 options. Love to get more easily

I mean fb contacts lol and I'll try these. I was gonna say I'm getting horrible battery but it's hard to judge cause my phone was in the coat room with no signal 58%.

All over the place! There's some in the Market, and dozens posted in all of the Themes sections here on XDA. You could give BlueBuzzer or Honeybread a try, for example.
Remember, just download the APK, install the APK, select the theme in the manager, and then reboot. No flashing or anything. Taking a backup beforehand though wouldn't hurt.

The red CM7 THEME is amazing. I would like to know why my juice defender isn't working though. I cannot accurately judge my battery life but I know Juice would help me.

I don't use it personally, but not all apps are compatible with 2.3 [gingerbread] yet, so you may have to wait.

It's probably cause I'm running an older version. Don't really like the new UI. I am gonna try installing a different version to see if it makes a difference. Now I understand what all this GB hype is about.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yea, I went gingerbread when it came out soon after I first rooted my phone and refuse to look back.

I can see why. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get my name on the lock screen in cm7.

Would look awesome but I'll have to use adb. Never used it before but I'm certain I can. Not exactly what I was looking for though, I'm still going to use it but I was looking for something to put text aka my name in my lock screen.

Well I think that is what you're looking for. You do that method, except he used "karadorde" for his phone, and I put it teh roxxorz on mine. You can make the text say whatever you want it to. And mine shows up like that on the lock screen and notification bar.

It worked. I used AndroZip and Terminal Emulator. Wasn't hard I just didn't read the second set of steps cause I thought it was an adb only thing. It effin' worked I'm "pimpin'" now hahaha.

Xda premium app update.

Ruining the xda app in my phone and can't find the glacier or dream thread anymore after doing the update. They are still in favorites but blank any help would be great.

I had an issue with favorites and reinstalling the app fixed it.
Have you tried that?

It seems this update wont allow you to add sub-forums as favourites

I'm sure they'll fix it at some point.

Favorites are listed in both the premium and free version of the XDA App, but no forum posts, listings, or content when a favorite is selected. Please fix.

Same issues, no posts and wouldn't load unless uninstalled through settings-applications. Then reinstalled and it works, pain to have to readd favorites though.

Is there somewhere we can adjust the color scheme? The light blue on white is do hard to see.

The new update to the premium app is terrible. It's so bad I reverted to a copy of the free app even though I paid for (and prefer) the premium one. It's not right that they just leave it like that.

What's so bad about it?

The only problem I really have with the update is that now, pictures aren't displayed full-screen. It was annoying before when a resized picture would be really blurry, but now I can't see any pictures, and that's much more irritating. They're way too small now. It's just a thumbnail, basically, and it makes screenshot threads completely infuriating.
Oh, another thing, with the notifications for subscribed threads, it will only notify me after the first check, and not on subsequent checks, if it's making subsequent checks. For instance, say I get a notification that 2 subscribed threads are updated. The notification will say that there are 2 subscribed threads. Now, say it's 30 minutes later (or more; I just used 30 since that's how often I set the app to check) and there are 2 more subscribed threads. Instead of updating the notification to 4 updated threads, it still says 2 even though I never cleared it the first time. For a real-world example, I went to bed yesterday and woke up with a notification for 2 updated threads, but when I opened the app, there were 6 or 7 updated threads. These were all updated within a period of 12 hours, and my XDA app is set to check every 30 minutes. For some reason, after the initial check where it found the updates, it never checked again, or if it did check, it didn't update the notification.
I hope this is a clear enough description. It sounds kind of confusing to me, but I can't think of a better way to explain it.

I was getting nothing but empty screens in every section, not just the favorites section. It took three uninstall/reinstall cycles to get it functioning again. It still doesn't show favorites but I can live with that (for awhile) but the whole empty app thing was disaapointing

Also had problems with blank screens in favorites and couldn't add a xda premium app shortcut to my home screen anymore.
After a long press on the home screen and selecting it from the shortcut list I got a white screen.
After uninstalling and re-installing it still won't generate a shortcut, but launch the app instead when going through the steps above.
The only way to add it as a shortcut was to long press it from the app drawer.

Delete reinstall works great.

Please fix premium app!!!! Cant open app from app drawer! Favorites won't stick...

+1 on the favorites issue after update. I delete and readd them then old ones sometimes reappear, requiring another removal, but without fail the newly added favorites will always show empty subforums at some point.
Keep having to revert to an old backup of XDA app if I "update all" from the market.

Same issue here with the favourite forums being empty. Can't even delete them. Well, you can, but they come back when you refresh. I deleted them and re-added them and it worked, but after a restart I was back to blank favourite forums again.
PLEASE, if the devs see this, let us know what's gonna happen.
Thanks

CPU Speed in Notification Bar?

Is there a way or an app that displays the current CPU Mhz on the notification bar? (Kind of like SetCPU but on the notification bar, instead of within the app).
Looking one for just testing. Don't want any of those swiss-army-knife apps that include a million things though.
Display CPU frequency (and maybe option of displaying percentage instead) should be the only feature.

Search market for temp+CPU pro. There's an option to put a selected state on your status bar.

Thanks, the market has really been bogged down with keywords and meta tags and such.
Even with filters it's hard to find what your looking for lol.

Yeah it seems like you need to put in the exact app name for it to show up correctly. Kind of strange that the search function could use improvement in the Google android market..

I thought that i was the only one trying to find things. Just recently i was trying to find Shoot me in the market but forgot the actual name of it, took forever with keywords. Didn't come right up with screenshot, screen grabber, root screen, etc...

[Q] GPS screen app

I had a GPS app way back on my hero that I would love to have again. I can't remember what it's called though and Ive searched for it for quite some time using all kinds of key words here and on Google.
Anyway. The app allows you to look up the street through the camera on your phone and it will show the locations of restaurants, gas stations, pool halls, whatever. All on the screen. Does anyone know what it is called if it even exists anymore?
I hope I put this question in the proper place. If not, please move it to the right place. Thanks for the help guys.

I believe it's called wikitude world browser. Hope I helped.

Yes!! I seen this option on my Epic and could never figure out what it did, recently re-enabled it on my SGSIII and finally figured out how to use it... pure awesomeness once I finally figured out where everything was. I love the extra vertical room it adds by hiding the address bar.
