Help, why is this happening and how can I get them back? This my favorite os but yes a dealbreaker unless I can get this worked out... Not just on my evo either, grrr... Any answers would be wonderful, thanks in advance;-)
Are you flashing gapps with the fresh install?
Yep, lithid, but still did it on a different phone with stable gapps, no problems with lithosphere by the way, still does it but just been restoring the bar lol I can't get rid of cm7 with DH...

The biggest difference is that CM6 runs Froyo and CM7 runs Gingerbread.
http://www.androidtapp.com/whats-new-in-gingerbread-android-2-3/
Pretty much all of this applies, except for the NFC thing. That is a hardware thing specific to the Nexus S. I'm not sure if the internet calling thing works, but the option is there in CM7.
As for differences in terms of bugs, CM7 seems a bit more stable in terms of battery consumption and "Android System" wake locks (though I might jinks myself for saying that). Also, there's a bit of a GPS bug in CM7. For GPS to work properly you might need to punch ##GPSCLRX# into the phone on a Sense-based rom. Doing that will clear the data on the GPS chip and somehow make the GPS work in CM7.
Other than that, it's pretty much the same. Most apps work just fine in gingerbread. CM7 has added a few features. There's support for themes, for one. Also, you can have an unlimited number of notification bar widgets now, since you can now scroll the widgets.
Just from personal experience, CM7 was much buggier than CM6... I had all sorts of FC'S and stuff, plus there's no GPS on CM7 and I use that a lot....
But there's also the possibility that my problems were a combination of the kernel/ROM/whatever since I didn't try different configs on CM7...
they're definitely both worth tryin... And CM7 had some really cool features.. It just wasn't worth it to me to stick with it

The biggest thing is that CM6 is Froyo [2.2] and CM7 is Gingerbread [2.3]. CM7 has a lot of new features [one people like is the tv off screen off animation] The keyboard is a lot nicer. Though CM7 is still in the nightly phase, without WiMax [4G] though you can install the rom for CM7 with WiMax [found in the development section], while CM6 is stable.

There is a fix for the gps issue. You flash a sense rom open dialer run ##gpsclrx# it resets your phone after resetting restore your cm7 rom and you have fully functioning gps. As for the FC's I've had no more problems there. Sure some apps may not have been updated with Gingerbread in mind but that's the apps problem usually not the rom.

Yes, I did the GPS fix and mine is working fine. Also, I haven't had a single FC yet on CM7 w/wimax.

You realize that CM7 is in Nightly-only stage, right? There's not even a release candidate? It doesn't even qualify as Beta software (though is a bit past Alpha). If you're getting FCs in an RC or Stable, then you have just cause to complain.
Anybody know why my screen don't wake up when I receive a call??? I don't know who the hell is calling me!! Lol.. and also when I just need to unlock the phone to use it? Any suggestions appreciated!! Thanks
Oh ya I'm running cm7 rc2.. I also had the same problems with cm7rc1 and cm6..
Thanks

So im the only one with this problem?? anybody??????
Obviously you are. Try re-wiping everything, the re-flash the rom.
Any other ROM other then the CM's giving you this problem? I would switch and check it out. I'm running CM7 RC2 and not having that problem!
I have had that problem before with cm6 and can't remember if I noticed it on cm7 before.

I get terrible battery life, laggy home screen swyping lol. Ugh but on sense roms is always perfectly fine...lol whhhyyyy

Are you installing via clean install? Are you flashing the gapps if flashing a gingerbread rom? Have you tried changing kernels?
What rev is your phone?
Same here, ASOP roms always give me trouble. Never have problems with Sense.

Maybe you should listen to your phone.....
I've only experienced app issues with aosp. Like applanet not working, unable to download from market or applanet, etc. Only a little laggy when I first start up for a few seconds and then it's normal.
Hardware revision 0003 lol my evo hates aospn loves sense.

Personally I love AOSP roms , but my phone seems to dislike them like a plague . I make a phone call for 30 mins and Boom my android os is clocking in at 85% , but luckly my voice calls only stay at 6% . I gave up , you name it I did it . So now using a sensless Myn rom dressed up to look like aosp . I know it isnt AOSP but the asthetics is there and its good enough for me .
I think most of the issues with AOSP ROMs have to do with how people wipe before flashing. I would search the forums for a zip file that performs the wipe for you. There is one by Calkulkin (not sure if that the right spelling) but I heard that it doesn't wipe data. Just Google Search "Android data wipe zip file" and see what you get. I have one I can send you if you can't find anything.
Also, what recovery are you using? I know lots of people using Clockwork recovery that have all kinds of problems with AOSP ROMs because it doesn't wipe correctly. I recommend using AmonRA 2.3 recovery as I have had the best results with that.
Good luck. I hope you get it worked out. SOme of the latest AOSP ROMs are really awesome (I am running the Gingerbread-EVO-Deck ROM now and it is great)!
I have calkulins format all zip lol I have amon ra n I ask have problems lol. Sense for me it is

Hi guys, the last cm7.10 looks very buggy, so can anyone recommended me a nighly with the least bugs and stability?
thanks
In what way is it buggy? I've been running 7.1 since it was RC1 and now stable release and i've found no bugs. Everything works perfectly for me.

I've read the feedback from members with lots of threads and a lot of them are saying they are having various problems like gps, bluetooth, in call volume etc, so was wondering if there's a decent nightly after the lastest stable with minimum bugs??
Cany anyone in the meantime confirm that the latest cm7.10 rom has: theme chooser, call blacklist feature, and screenshot feature in the power menu??
Much appreciated thanks
If anything, nightly will have more bugs. but to be honest the rom is very stable. The first time you turn GPS on it takes a while but after that it's fine. In call volume is ok for me. I think the mentioned problems arise from people not wiping properly before they flash.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure about the blacklist feature, but theme chooser is there, and screenshot is there too.
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
I can confirm that the blacklist is also there. And I also think that CM 7.1 is very stable. I've used it since RC1 too and I've never had problems with bluetooth, gps or in call volume. The only bug I've found is that push notifications for new versions of CM is not working.
Thanks for the comments guys, can someone tell me what are the push notifications? And are there any seperate fixes for this and the the slow gps??
I will be switching from oxygen, so I would just need to ensure I do a clean wipe? When u say properly wipe what does it include? Thanks
I may be completely wrong about this, but I think the reason the first time using GPS is slow is because it needs to configure your location for the first time. After that you should have a quick GPS lock every time.
When wiping you should do factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache.

So I'm having this problem for a while now. Sometimes my phone locks up when I'm trying to install a new app. The only thing I can do when it happens is to hard reset the device. It seems to be happening mostly on relatively large applications (~30mb and up).
Initially I thought that maybe my sd-card is dying so I tried to unmount it, but it happened again on the second app that I tried to install.
Any ideas on what may cause this?
Give more details like what rom and kernel you're using.
I'm on CM 10.1, default kernel.

Which cm10.1 rom? And what date is the rom build?
I'm on official nightlies. Currently 3/20, but it also happened on the latest monthly.
Since no one reported this kind problem, I don't think it's a bug.
