Hello everyone. I'm running CM7 Nightly #134 with Aeroevan's .7 BFS Kernel. It appears I'm unable to recieve MMS messages. I'm using handcent, and I do have the option on to "automatically retrieve messages" under the MMS category. Is there any fix/patch that I could apply to my phone? I'd rather not reflash another ROM onto it as I like how it is right now. Thanks!
You could look into on of the cm7.2 kangs builds I'm pretty sure you can flash them over whatever cm rom you're running just wipe dalvik. You'll need to flash the kernel again and be sure to make a back up
Okay so dalvik-cache is the only thing I need to wipe, correct? Once I wipe the dalvik cache (assuming this is the only thing I need to do), I will flash one of the kangs. What exactly will I need to re-do? I've pretty much flashed/applied the following:
G-Apps
Aeroevan's 0.7 BFS Kernel
crypted's AGPS Patch
The kernel will need to be re-flashed for sure because it will revert to the stock CM kernel in the new kangs, and probably the AGPS patch as well. But dalvik-cache has nothing to do with applications right? I was reading online about it and it seems a bit confusing to me. Also, will I have to reconfigure all of my misc. settings again? IE: My overclock, preferences, launcher, etc?

Correct... You'll need to reflash kernel, agps patch and gapps. Unless you're flashing my kang in which case you won't need to flash gapps. I have them included in the ROM. I would always suggest a dalvik wipe as well as cache but a full wipe "might not" be needed.
Just do a back up before flashing in case you have any issues.

What's the difference between dalvik cache and normal cache? Also, is the MMS issue fixed in kangs/newer source builds? I'm hoping that flashing the newer stuff will not be in vain

Hey did you get your mms working on your phone? I'm having the same issue with cm7 and BFS Kernel on HTC aria. Can neither send nor receive.
Thanks!
When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application. Think of dalvik cache as Windows prefetch.
As far as mms.... It's working fine on my CM7 kang and I would assume the others as well. Once thing you can try though that worked on Eris when people had mms issues for one reason or another is:
1. Install Verizon Messages from the market and use that to send and receive a couple mms messages.
2. Once you confirm mms is working again you can uninstall it and go as normal.
Another option that takes a little more work is:
1. Make a nandroid backup of current ROM.
2. Install a stock based ROM.
3. Send and receive a few mms messages to verify everything is in working
order.
4. Install APN backup/restore from the market.
5. Open APN backup/restore and backup your APN's.
6. Restore backup you previously made.
7. Install and open APN backup/restore.
8. Restore APN's with the ones you backed up from stock.
@christophlend
Nope, haven't gotten it working yet.
@CondemnedSoul
Just wondering, why would installing Verizon Messages, then uninstalling it fix the problem? Is there something that gets activated/left over during this process that may / may not allow me to send MMS messages?
Also, I would definitely flash to your kang if I knew that all of my current settings/apps wouldn't be wiped out. If I could retain all of my current apps, and some of the more important settings, then I'd probably go for it.

The only thing I can figure the Verizon app does is reset your apns automatically vs restoring them from a stock ROM. We never quite figured out why it worked but 99% of the time it was successful when a few people had mms issues with a build. As far as your apps and settings going to my build... I can't promise a flash over will work. If you're on cm7.1 is suggest a full wipe of everything going to 7.2. You can always back up user apps and data with titanium backup and restore those however system settings would need to be reset manually. Restoring system data with ti backup is not recommended.

Alright I'm gonna try installing the Verizon app. If that fails, I'll be doing a full wipe (I'm guessing wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache then flash is what you mean, yes) and use TiBu to reinstall the apps I had.
Thanks for all the help.

Full wipe meaning data/factory reset, cache wipe then advanced-wipe dalvik.. yes.

I've been meaning to ask this, what does the data/factory reset function do in CWM? And well, now that I know what wiping dalvik does, what does just wiping the "cache" do? What is stored in there?
Ok so I got MMS to send and recieve using Nightly #134. First I installed Verizon Messaging, then I read something on here about using GoSMS and configuring it manually....so now it works and its awesome. Just search for a CM 7.2 kang thread and GoSMS

Dude, you're a genius!! This fixed my wife's inc running CCM7 v15. I'm out of thanks, but I'll get ya tomorrow.
NOTE: When I uninstalled the VZW app, MMS stopped working again. So I reinstalled it and turned off all its notifications.

Hey guys,
Still relatively new to flashing/upgrading ROMs. I have CM 6.1 and pershoots kernel flashed. If I want to upgrade pershoots from ROM manager, do I need to select the wipe/cache data option in order to upgrade? Does that mean I have to backup my sms, bookmarks, etc? Thanks in advance
Ok here's a brief breakdown for you.
When flashing KERNELS you only wipe cache and dalvik cache (can be found under advance settings.
When flashing ROMS you wipe everything , data/cache/dalvik.
Make sure you make a nand backup just incase you don't like the rom / kernel you've flashed.
As far as backing up sms and other things saved to your current rom, you wouldn't have to as your only flashing the kernel.
Now if your flashing to a new rom for example.
Flashing from CM to Virtous
Then yes you would need to backup all your sms and etc...
If your running CM and want to upgrade to a newer version of CM. I would usually just wipe cache and dalvik and flash ontop of current rom. No sms back needed. Unless you want to start from scratch and reload the rom fresh. Then yes backup your sms. Hope this helps.

thanks luis, I really appreciate your information, it was very helpful. What does wiping the cache/dalvik entail though? As in, would I see any noticeable changes by doing so or are the effects simply behind the scenes.
Wiping cache and dalvik cache just helps with the flashing of your new kernel or rom. Its the proper way to flash. I mean some people don't. I usually do and my flashes never give me much problems.

I have never wiped when coming from an older CM version. It is not necessary at all.

Hello,
I've recently installed Oxygen on my Desire. And it was working flawlessly untill a few days back, when my Data/3G stopped working all together.
I inserted my SIM card into an X10i and 3G was working on that phone. But on my Desire, even though all setting are turned on, nothing seems to be working ?
Any help ? As i have very limited knowledge or rooting and custom ROMs, there might be something that i might be doing wrong ?
Thanks
Did you do a full wipe, data/factory rest, cache and dalvik cache when flashing the rom?
Also have you tried resetting or manual reading the apn settings? And do you use any app to control data connection?

1. Yes I did all of those things specifically, while flashing a new ROM.
2. I have tried resetting the APN settings. The thing is that my phone wont even detect that my Carrier has 3G or even Edge for that matter. Whereas, in the same area when I inserted my SIM into an X10i (or any other phone, just for comparison) it worked flawlessly.
3. No I dont use any app. I did install a widget to switch on/off data from my home screen but since it didnt work i uninstalled it. If I were to guess since when Im having this problem, I'd say somewhere around this widget incident. Its possible it has some connection. But I already uninstalled it.
Thanks for your time.
If it was a third party widget it might have messed it up. Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing to see if you get a connection. Beforehand you can back up your apps with titanium backup so that you can restore them on the fresh install if that fixed the data problem.

It was a third party widget, actually. Since Im new to the process, could you expand on "Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing", or perhaps, direct me to a place where I can see how its done.
Ill download the titanium back up from the market and back-up the apps. Wouldn't it reload the settings and the apps when I restore the backup, and possible the bug too ? Assuming the widget messed up some sort of setting or somethin ?
First make the nandorid, to do this boot in to recovery and go to backup, from that point on it should be self explanatory. You can also use rom manager and the backup feature. Once the nandroid is done you wipe (still in recovery) data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache under advanced, then hit back and reboot.
I don't think titanium will restore the "bug" because you already removed the app that probably caused it, just make sure you only backup/restore the green apps and data and check the list you restore to be sure that the switch widget isn't included.

Thanks man, it worked. I guess I have to be cautious on a Custom ROM before installing any apps, keeping in mind the compatiblity.
I have the same problem. I get no 3g icons in oxygen rc7 or in cyanogen mod7 build 32.
I have istalled both roms with full wipe of cache and dalvik. Nothing helps.
It is only green when wifi is on. If i turn it off, the netstatus is becoming grey.
It is a HTC Desire
And 3G is working perfect with Leedroid 2.3d
Wifi Issue, try out : "In wifi settings, advanced, set regulatory domain to 14 channels. I suspect what happens is that it cures the problem for those of us with channel = auto on the accesspoint."
3G Issue : Configurate manually your access points depending on your provider, it worked for a friend.
Good Luck!
So i just flashed cm7 the stable version, first thing i do is turn on my wifi, but when it obtains the ip adress etc, it keeps rebooting and turning off rebooting, and just keeps doing that over and over again. any suggestions?? anyone?
Have you tried reflashing it on a clean install? You also flashed gapps with it?
yes, i even wiped alll that thing like dalvik and all that good stuff and flashed gapps right after. this started happening to me with rc3 rc4 and now stable cm7, works fine with cm2
Did you flash a kernel with it?
whats that?
cocoes4o8 said:

Well that's a no then. And the kernel is basically the heart of the phone operation. Different kernels do different things, but we can worry about that later.
Now I'd like you to backup your apps, then re-flash the rom completely, along with gapps.
If it is turning on Wifi only that causes the issue, it may be something with what is remembered in your wifi access points.
Delete your access point. Turn on Wifi and re-attach.
should i wipe dalvik cache also?
cocoes4o8 said:

Yes; you need to wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache. The flash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash gapps, then reboot.

When you flashed, did you flash the gapps?
And facebook app has been giving people problems...I think the word was to go back to 1.52 [the previous version before latest update] and you should be good.
I don't have a facebook, so no help with that app, sorry.

You should always do a factory like reset before flashing a rom.
When I went to CM7 I did this.
Ran a Nandroid backup of Stock rom
Ran the GPS Fix for CM7 before going to CM7
Cleared Dalvik cache
Cleared Cache
Cleared Data
Flashed CM7
Flashed GApps
ReBooted
If you used TB to backup everything on your old rom then ONLY install the Apps NOT the data. Also I have noticed that a lot of people are just running a Restore everything from TB that may have something to do with it. I only installed third party apps like barcode scanner, Game Fly, PicSay, Directv. Do not restore anything that was a system app from your other rom.
And so far everything has been great.
hi,
just installed the rom. but now i got problems with contacts. the contact app won't
load the contacts. and if i try another contact app it just crashes. any ideas why?
thx...
were you coming from a different ROM? did you do a full wipe?
I've got the same problem. I can see all the contacts from "call" menu, but when I want to enter details the app crashes. Whn I simply open contacts app, loading circle appears and nothing happens, sometimes also crashes after few mins of "loading".
Had the exact same problem weeks ago on InsertCoinHD 2.0.0, got used to it but it's kinda annoying. Both times I did full wipe of everything, however I restored contacts data using Titanium (from stock rom).
Tried to fix permissions too...
Used to get this too. Found out I hadn't done a proper full wipe. Now, after nandroid b/u, my procedure goes:
- Wipe data/factory reset
Then in mounts/storage
- format sys
- format data
- format cache
- format SD-Ext
Then advanced
- wipe Dalvic
Flash ROM.
I came from a LeeDroid ROM and until I tried this, I got the same problem with contacts every time. It drove me nuts! All good now!

well, i did following things..
i did a fullwipe, then, wipe-dalvic and after it flash rom again..and now it works
perfect
btw: i'm using amon-ra for hboot..great piece of work..it also has a option to
format your sdcard with ext2,3,4 and so on..
Sorry to hijack this thread but I am using this rom and have a problem with text messages disappearing. When I receive a text, read it and then go back in to messages the inbox is empty. The option to delete old messages in settings is unchecked.
Any ideas?

I normally wipe data, cache and dalvik, then install ROM and restore settings using Titaniuim - always the same problem. I'm starting to think that it might be related to my contacts data, did you have that problem even without restoring your contacts on a clear ROM install? Or, as you managed to fix it, can you restore your contacts without problems or you just sync them using Google account?

Try backing up your contacts/data with "mybackup root". Heard of a lot of problems with Titanium.
I have all my contacts saved on the google account (nothing on the phone itsels) and never had any issues like you're describing with viewing/editing contacts.
so the idea woud be... back-up -> wipe all + dalvik ->reflash ROM -> restore
I am currently using CM9 on my GNex because it has a built-in Profiles management application in Settings.
Is this feature exclusive to CM? Do other ROMs have this feature? I have tried various market apps to replicate this functionality, but none of them seem to work the way the CM9 one does.
I thought I had seen someone using AOKP and it had this in his Settings, but when I tried to Flash that ROM, I got a ton of errors on reboot and didn't find Profiles in the Settings section either.
Also, as I am relatively new to Android (this is my first Android device), should I do a complete wipe data before installing a totally different ROM to avoid process errors? I am using Clockwork Mod recovery to flash ROMs and just performing the default "wipe Dalvik cache" before installing a new ROM. So far, the only ROM I am able to install/update is CM9. AOKP and Codename Android just gave me a ton of process errors after booting and were just unusable. As such, i am currently stuck using CM9, but have really bad wifi performance with it.
TIA!

Yes. Yes Yes Yes Yes. ALWAYS do a full data wipe when moving from one ROM to another ROM. You can sometimes get away with not wiping if you are simply upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM, but anytime that you run into issues after installing a new ROM please do make sure that you wiped data before posting/complaining about issues.
Thank you for your clarification. The next time I try a completely different ROM I will do a full data wipe. I assume flashing new Nightlies of the ROM I am already running doesn't require a full data wipe?
But can you or anyone else tell me if AOKP or any other ROMs have the "Profiles" feature in Settings, like CM9 does? Or is this exclusive to the CM9 ROM?
Thanks again.

Using your suggestion to do a wipe data when flashing a rom, I downloaded the latest CM9 nightly, and just installed it wiping both the data and cache.
After my initial setup and installing the speedtest app, my ping is back to normal at ~25ms and 15mb down and 2 up!
Do you always (or recommend) wipe the data even if you are just updating the current ROM?
Hopefully one of my other apps wasn't the cause of this issue, but I'll soon find out once I have re-installed everything.
Thanks again.

The ROM developer will usually state in the changelog / release notes if a wipe is required/recommended for an upgrade. Rule of thumb though:
1) Updating ROM to newer version, same Android release (ex: 4.0.3 -> 4.0.3) ==> No wipe
2) Updating ROM to newer version, different Android release (ex: 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4) ==> WIPE
3) Changing from one ROM to another ROM (CM9 -> AOKP) ==> WIPE
Interesting. After reinstalling my apps one by one, I've been running speedtest and found that Airsync/Doubletwist is the cause of my slowness. Uninstalling and rebooting fixes the speed/ping issue right away. Glad I bought this app. Not.
