Hello guys!
My Wildfire is running CM 7.1b at the moment but earlier on the stock ROM there was an option, that when you turn phone upside down when somebody is calling it will automatically mute itself. I've tried to find such an option through the settings menu (because it's not working) but with no luck. Can anyone relate to that?
Flip4Silence from Market. Never seen this on CM7.

Yeah I think this was a feature built into sense, flip4silence is the best way of getting this to work on CM7. Give it a go!

I love the DINC2 so far, but one thing that I wish I could change is the softkey brightness.
Are they supposed to be always on? Even with the clock in night mode?
I tried LED hacks and a few other brightness control apps, but no luck so far.
Does anyone know of an app that can dim/turn off the softkey backlight?

LOL just flash virtuous 2.35 softkeys don't work, but everything else does. No softkeys lighting up is not all that bad.

That's an idea! *g*
If I get desperate and there are no other solutions, I might try it.
Does global mode work with virtuous?
Nope

Well, so much for that!
Thanks for letting me know.
what rom are you running? stock? on cyanogen mod the softkeys go out on night mode in the clock app.
Right now I'm running the debloated stock, but am thinking of skyraider zeus.
Had it on there yesterday, but then lost mobile service after unlocking the SIM, and decided to try the stock rom. Service came back, and now I'm chicken to try flashing again.
Does global mode work with cyanogen? I will use this phone in Europe later this year and want a stable rom with working global.

According to post #18 SkyRaider Zeus does work in global mode. I haven't tested it, but I have been running SkyRaider Zeus for about a week now and I love it.
Yep, that's part of the reason I want to use it, but I'd like it even better if it had softkey backlight control, too. I guess I will have to risk flashing and seeing what happens with the softkeys.
When I ran it yesterday, it was bright daylight, and I only noticed how annoying the backlit keys were later that night, when the phone was running debloated stock.
There's no risk flashing most stable roms from the dev section. Make sure you have a working backup of your current rom and you're good to flash new ones. I had an issue trying to mess with global mode on my phone once and it required me to do a restore of a working backup I had then all was fine again.
Also in the cm7 thread this post confirmed working global mode recently. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17245922

Thanks for the info!
When I ran into the no service problem after unlocking the Sim, I restored via cwm, but nothing
worked. Got an endless 'loading, this can take several minutes. Please wait.
This was the backup of the stock ROM, though.

if you had issues restoring a backup in clockwork then it wouldnt have been because you unlocked the sim card. sounds like you had a corrupt backup or something went wrong with the backup you were trying to restore. but out of curiosity, how long did you let it try to restore before you gave up?
The restore went through successfully, according to CWM, but when the phone restarted, I was stuck with: Loading! It can take several minutes. Please wait.
I waited for an hour, and then flashed the debloated ROM.
What happened after the SIM unlock (I was running Skyraider Zeus at the time), was that I lost my mobile service.
I am sorry to hear you are having problems. I hope you didn't lose any data. I run cm7 nightlies. I have heard that cm7 supports global mode. I also use an app called "Screen Filter". When I was unrooted/stock, the app would not turn off my softkey backlight (there is an option to enable or disable softkey backlight), but on cm7, the feature works. I have two widgets, one set at 46.8% without softkey backlight, and one set at 97.8%, also without softkey backlight. The second one barely dims the screen, and turns the softkey backlight off. And best of all, with cm7 I am able to assign one of them to long press search key, so I can turn off the softkey lights from anywhere. I have not tested it, but there is a chance this could work on a rooted sense rom (the screen filter setting). I know it works on cm7 though.
Also, with cm7 you can control the brightness of the softkeys (if you only want to dim them) if you customize the auto-brightness (the setting is built into the rom), but then you have to use auto-brightness (I do that as well).
Hope that helped!

Thank you!
You don't know how happy it makes me to hear that cm7 does global and screen filter works with the softkey backlight!
I'm a big fan of Screen Filter, anyhow.
Can you tell me where I can find the latest stable version of cm7 to try out? Or do I need to grab a nightly?
Any ideas on battery use, and signal strength with cm7? I have pretty horrible signal strength with the debloated stock rom, though it was no better with the unrooted stock.

There is no stable version yet, but here is the link for the nightlies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156343
I find them stable enough for daily use. I have used WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G, Tethering, SMS and MMS with Handcent, etc. and have never had any problems (other than the compass issue with AOSP, which I really don't mind, as it's fine when I'm moving).
There is also a beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153261
if you don't want to deal with nightlies. I haven't used it, but I have heard it's good enough for daily use.
I do have pretty bad signal strength with this rom, however I have always had bad signal strength and have never dropped a call/had to resend a message. At best I can get around -80 dbm, but usually I'm around -90.
My battery use has been okay. Not 72 hours like some people report (I don't see how that's possible with any rom), but with ~2 hours of screen on time, I'm usually just below 50% at the end of the day. So I charge every night, but I never worry about making it through a day. I use the Tiamat kernel because without it the speaker on calls is too low for me, but another benefit is that Tiamat includes the smartass governor, which is supposed to help battery life.
Thanks again!
I'll check out cm7.
Yes! It works!
I have the latest nightly and screen filter controls the backlight!
Thanks a million, and also for mentioning the long press option.
Now I use that for turning off the soft keys when reading. Much nicer than having to go back to the home screen.
I actually think this happens mostly when I call and when I answer sometimes. It seems maybe 1 out of 5 times when I call someone they can't hear me, as if I'm muted. My only choice is to hang up and dial again.
This appears to only happen with CM7. I tried a few stock based ROMs and they worked fine.
I've searched around but can't see any similar issues. Anyone heard of this? Thanks!

I've had bad experiences with CM7
Hi. I actually don't have a solution to your problem. I've personally used CM7 many times, but every time I couldn't put up with it as a lot of issues used to pop up.
Constant reboots. My battery always showed as low on CM7. The major problem is the SD Card file transfer speeds on CM7.
I use ARHD 6.3.3. with a couple of scripts that come with it. No matter how hard I try moving away from this ROM, I always come back to it.
If you want Sense-less ROM, I suggest MIUI is a lot better option than CM7.
I would say reflash and see how that fairs
It might work

So i am new to this forum and ive rooted my evo since November of 2011 and like 4 Months After rooting it ive noticed some really bad issues that i can't seem to be able to fix by myself so here are my issue 1. Car home App by google starts up when ever i reboot or turn off and then on my phone or will come on by itself for no reason and it happens on any rom whether it's HTC Sense or Cyanogen Mod or any Rom. My second problem is that when i am on HTC Sense Rom Or Any other HTC Sense Based rom like warm two point two For Example My Media Volume Wont work like there is sound but i cant control the volume level of it whether i want it all the way down or all the way up there's no difference in sound it just stays the same PLEASE HELP Me FIX THIS ISSUE I REALLY AM STARTING TO HATE IT ILL EVEN UN-ROOT IT IF I HAVE TO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO FIX IT BUT PLEASE HELP I AM A NOOB AND I AM PRETTY MUCH NEW AT THIS STUFF!!!!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
OOHHH P.S.
The Media Volume Thing Only Happens When I Use The Headphone Jack (Again It Only Happens When Im Using a HTC Sense Rom Not When Using Something Like Cyanogen Mod)!!!!!
To answer the first question, I'm pretty sure the car home thing is due to a broken usb port.
As for the second, can't help ya there.

Hi, I am currently on CM10.1 nightly, however sometimes, VERY VERY rarely, my phone crash when i receive a call, I can hear the phone ringing, but the screen just wont turn on.
I am not able to replicate the error, but it happens, and it is very rare.
So here comes the question, i assume switching back to stock would solve this issue for me. Will stock have better battery life as well? Assuming I am using the same kernel (ak kernel).
If not, how much of a difference are we talking about? I am currently very satisfied by the cm10.1 stock launcher with ak kernel. The main reason why am i even using cm10 is because of the resizable widgets (yes i know i can get custom launcher but i dont like to install them somehow.......personal issues).
Any idea guys? I am facing the same problem on my nexus 7 as well. Any input is greatly appreciated
