I'll preface with this:
1. I am not a dev.
2. I don't intend to take credit away from any of the CM7 devs.
3. I don't intend to take credit for any of the solutions posted here.
I like to keep up with the main thread, but it has become a little unruly, with the same questions being asked and answered repeatedly. I was thinking we could keep this thread as something of a troubleshooting thread, with known problems and solutions in the OP, in an attempt to keep the main CM7 thread (here) a bit more organized for dev related stuff.
Mods, if this thread is in the wrong forum or inappropriate, feel free to deal with it accordingly.
OK:
----------
CM7 for Thunderbolt
Current Version: RC1.4 (MR2/2.5 Radio Only)
Merged to Mainline: No
Wipe Required: No if upgrading from RC1.2 or RC1.3 (although if you are having ANY problems, first troubleshooting step is to reinstall following a complete wipe). Yes if you are coming from ANY OTHER PREVIOUS VERSION OR ROM
Problems With Known Fixes
Problem:
I just installed CM7, where is the Market?!
Solution:
Not a problem, you just have to install gapps.
- Easiest way is to download and install through ROM Manager: Rom Manager -> Download ROM -> Google Apps.
- Alternatively, you can download and install manually. Link. Flash using Recovery.
Problem:
GPS is not getting a fix
Solution:
1. Be sure that you are on RC1.2, and that you did a full wipe prior to installing.
2. Backup CM7 in Clockwork Recovery.
3. Do a full wipe.
4. Flash a Sense based ROM, such as BAMF.
5. Boot into the Sense based ROM that you flashed in Step 4, and obtain a GPS fix.
6. While your GPS is locked, reboot to recovery. (Hold Power -> Reboot to Recovery)
7. Do a full wipe.
8. Restore the CM7 backup you made in step 1.
9. Boot into CM7. Your GPS should now be working.
Problem:
Inaccurate signal bars/I only have two bars on LTE
Solution:
FIXED ON RC1.3
Problem:
Non-GPS geolocation is (very) inaccurate
Solution:
wraithdu said:
The inaccurate non-GPS location can be fixed by turning on WiFi (does not need to be connected, just ON). Obviously a temporary fix, but works for me - I can get location now in Beautiful Widgets, SiMi Clock, The Weather Channel, and the browser. I increased my WiFi scan interval to 3 minutes to try and help battery. But it beats getting the weather for Guam.

Problem:
Choppy Netflix playback
Solution:
Netflix now has official Thunderbolt support. Install the updated Netflix App from the Market.
Problem:
Unlock lag and/or no backlit softkeys
Solution:
Turn off auto brightness, should take care of both of these issues. (thanks to Mustang302LX)
Problems With Fixes of Questionable Effectiveness
Problem:
Problems with in-browser flash
Solution:
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
Varying reports of this working/not working
Problem:
Low volume
Solution:
Since perception of volume is subjective, it's difficult to say whether or not this is a true problem, and whether or not it's been fixed. Slayher has stated that it's been fixed since one of the earlier releases. Another possible solution is here (credit to utkanos), which has been used with varying results - again, volume perception is subjective.
Problem:
Included wireless tethering not working
Solution:
From what I've seen, you will be able to connect to the wireless network, but you will not be able to obtain an IP address. I have found that forcing an IP release/renew upon connecting generally takes care of this problem. On Windows, this can be done with the following:
1. Start -> Run -> "cmd"
2. ipconfig /release
3. ipconfig /renew
Problems Without Known Fixes
Problem:
Streaming audio over bluetooth is choppy
----------
OK, post problems (and fixes, if there are any) and I'll do my best to keep the OP updated in an attempt to keep the main dev thread more organized. When posting an issue, please include:
CM7 version
Kernel
Radio
Wipe
all aosp roms including gingerbread roms reads data strength instead of cellar radio strength. that's why it appears to have less bars. if you search there are mods i believe to give you the appearance of higher signal strength on the forums here.
cm7 and Netflix issues
I believe this is a CM7 issue, as it only happens with is rom and previous versions but I'm not sure if its FPS or just choppiness but Id like to get this fixed other fixes like chmod 000 have not worked.
On a different note I would like to thank everyone involved with CM7 its by far the best ROM.
Thank You Devs.

This is also true for embedded flash videos. If I use the chmod 000 it skips if I go above 360 but it works. Older versions don't let me go above 360 because the video menu, it just closes whenever I open it.
The one issue that bugs me the most about this ROM is that it does not find my location correctly. Not talking about GPS because that works perfectly, but how I'm found through the network does not work. Google Maps works perfectly at finding my location but apps like fancy widget and even google.com locate me in different places.
I live in Buffalo, NY but my phone insists I move frequently around the world. First I'm in Fort Wayne, IN, then Houston, TX, then Nairobi, Kenya, and sometimes in Lawndale, CA.
Something's wrong and no one seems to have a fix that'll work for me. I'm assuming that's cause no one cares about it because its so miniscule.
Tried different radios and GPS status but nothing has worked.
Fix? Slayher?
I am absolutely loving this rom, I flashed it on my girls Droid x and instantly had to have it on my tbolt. GPS works great, more than great, and no other issues except two things.
First, when streaming Pandora or slacker through bt the skip like crazy, but when played through the phones speaker they're fine. No big deal.
Secondly I must be doing something wrong because my battery life is terrible. I have an extended battery that the phone ate through in 8 hours moderate use. And my stock battery is dropping about 30% an hour...
I'm not a noob with screen time out to 10 mins and brightness all the way up, so its got to have something to do with my CPU settings. I'm using set CPU to over clock to 1450. Tried different goveners. I assume there's different kernels out there I'm gonna have to try out, what kernel is included? Running mr2 ota

What rom were you running before, and did you wipe?
In any case, easiest solution would be to install GAPPS from ROM Manager.
Can't seem to connect to my home wifi network. Anyone else experience this issue?
From looking through the main thread, saw one suggestion, which didn't work for me: post 7360
OTA MR2; full wipe; RC1.1; gapps; set up accounts; cache wipe; RC1.2

Try a full wipe before installing 1.2. I believe that was recommended by slayher.
Is it only your home wifi, or are you having trouble with all wifi connectivity?
problem: voice to text works intermittently and not at all with any background noise
corrective solutions taken that haven't corrected problem: installed talkback, kickback and google voice search.
CM 1.2
OTA radio
stock kernel
full partition wipe, also formatted SD prior to install

Installed CM7 and purchased ROM Manager Premium. I enabled advanced mode in settings. But I still can't download Cyanogenmod ROMs via ROM Manager? It doesn't appear in the list. Anyone have a similar problem, and preferably a solution? What's going on? Thanks.

it's not officially supported by cyanogenmod yet, therefore you can't obtain it via ROM manger.

I'm interested to know the answer to this battery issue. Which kernel is best for battery life/stability? I'm running stock right now, but I really haven't ran it long enough to get good usage stats.
just want to say that LG´s Gingerbread release (v20c, v20g, v20e,...) is biggest sh... ever!
- ugly, unaligned icons in statusbar
- very bad battery life -> phone doesn´t sleep very well (it´s always active - so battery life is bad)
- sluggish menus
- problems with proximity sensor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jAmMgh0uY8)
- first 2~3 seconds of a call the microphone doesn´t work
- apps which use files on SD-Card and need read&write privileges most probably crash
The same problem for me but after i rooted the phone seem is better, at leat with the batery.

LG gb is a disaster. But I benefitted accidently and immensely from it. Lol. I got libbundlewrapper.so file for audio effects. Lol, I could have had this file from any gb rom in the android universe.
My cm7 is now complete with this file and I am enjoying cm7.
Top notch music, rocket speed, visually satisfying theming, excellent 3d, useful cm settings, internet. That's what I need. And, CM has it all.

LOL We should thank LG for atleast providing us such files, and already thank given to you for the idea of those files.
Somehow I feel you cant expect much from a low end phone but as devs say LG is **** with software development.
LG´s 2.2.2 was ok, but 2.3.3 is pure ****...
i don´t understand why they released it (everything is worse than in 2.2.2).
...unbelievable.

I actually tried to made the list... you are missing the Mic bug I've added in my other post
Extending the item refereed to apps crashing...
I've been trying a few apps that before worked fine, and now it doesn't.
I contacted the devs of one of the apps, which kindly told me it was a problem with my phone because of this error... (taken from the error report)
Code:
"attempt to write a readonly database"
So, any app which uses files in SD and need read&write privileges, most probably it wont work

Totally agree with the topic's author. Especially with this problem:
- very bad battery life -> phone doesn´t sleep very well (it´s always active - so battery life is bad)
Any ideas how to fix it? As I have everything stock and have rooted the phone... Which option would be better: leave stock rom and flash, for example, franco's kernel? I don't want to change the rom, because I am satisfied with the stock one, but that battery problem drives me vrazy
Or maybe try to go back to 2.2 ?
Anyway, all possible solutions are welcome...
Thank you!
@up - use [APP] BetterBatteryStats to see which process wakelock your's phone.
If You use 3G/HSDPA data connection there is next bug in Gingerbread - DataTracker-FastDormancy will always awake phone - see Brainstorming: how to completely disable DataTracker-FD and Fast Dormancy (but this metod work only when You do not turn on data).
FastDormancy not turn off even when you turn off data, and make your phone always awake (in my phone i get 5% draining battery in 1,5h when not use).

Wow, now it is much more clear after your reply! Yes, I use 3G, and often notice, that battery drain occurs after using internet and turning it off...And after that, in battery monitor I always see uninterrupted blue line... Now it's clear.
However, I haven't tried the BetterBatteryStats. Now I am going to install it and see what I would get I can't live without 3G on the phone...So don't know what to do if there are no any other solutions...
UPDATE: Yes, You were right. The battery drain cause was by DataTracker-FD. I disabled Fast Dormancy and will see how it will behave in the future.

Hey XDA,
I'm looking for a rom with reliable gps.
I've used CM7 and Trigger and they both give me the same problems (probably cuz trigger is based off cm7).
I know people using CM7 are having issues getting a lock with the GPS but for me, my gps doesn't even try. for example, when i turn on my maps/navigation/gps test app, the blinking gps icon doesn't even show up. I can only get it to appear if i restart my phone and that's only the first time i run an app that uses gps. once it closes and i open an app to use gps again, nothing.
I'm going on a trip this weekend and I think it would be handy to have.
So my questions are.
1. If you're using cm7 or trigger, are you having the same experience? I assume people do get the icon in the notification bar but just can't lock satellites.
2. If your gps works, which rom are you using?
3. If you got your gps to work on cm7 or trigger, how did you do it? i think i've tried all the "working" ones from this forum. but i could be wrong/doing it wrong.
Thanks guys!
ps. I've done the hardware gps "fix" if that matters at all.
I am running MIUI revamped and managed to get it to work.
I think that some of the gps config tweaks were included in the 1.8.5 build.
I'm not entirely sure how (I tried a lot of the fixes), but right now it is locking, and can relock. I ran it this morning on my way to work and again on my way home.
Here's what I remember doing:
Replaced AngryGPS with AngryGPSMod (Then executed the apk in root explorer to install it into the apps list)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172428
Flashed the CM7 GPS fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199613
Flashed the regional gps data file (I'm in Oklahoma, so mid-south states)
I don't remember where the thread was, you'll need to search for it.
Make sure to use the google supl server settings. You can find them in various ROM threads.
An alternate supl server is the nokia one (worked well for me in Froyo)
Settings are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912777&highlight=nokia+gps+settings
[I started with these settings and then changed to the google supl settings, which are working now.]
Use GPS Test to see if it locks onto the birds.
Good Luck

Agreed. People keep claiming GB has GPS working reliably, but it doesn't. Even the devs who engineered the current GPS fixes admit they are "half-assed". No slight to the devs, but until Samsung mans up and releases GB for the Vibrant (which they won't because TMO hates us), it's not going to get better. Between this and the battery life, GB is just a toy. Go back to 2.2 like I did.
ODIN to JFD = No - Maybe - Yes depending on who you ask
Custom 2.2 / stock 2.2 = Yes
CM7/MIUI/Trigger = Maybe, not reliable.
If on 2.2 you have issues, the solution posted by digitaltoddy always works for me.
Thanks for the responses. I'm going to try some of the things HeavyA suggested. In case it doesn't work, can you suggest a good rom that runs on 2.2? Thanks again!
The best froyo roms I tried were trigger and project v.
As for my suggestions, the regional GPS flashables are from the HD2 forum.

Since I'm on ICS I have this strange problem with the official FB client.
As Soon as i start FB my processor gets pumped up to the maximum of 1ghz. Even when i click the Home Button and start up Voltage Control i can see the processor is at max.
Only when i close FB (with task manager or long press back key on CM9) the processor goes down to 200mhz and stays there...
effect : as soon as i start FB and don't quit it right my battery will be drained in a short time..
Since the first ICS release I am googling this problem but can't find any information about this. Now I'm a little bit fed up with it, thats why i'm posting it here...does anyone else recognize this? is there a workaround?
thanks for the help...
check your battery info,get cpuspy to see what speed your cpu has been going at and the deepsleep and betterbatterystats for wakelocks etc
this guy has similar issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571518
i already checked with all mentioned tools.
strange thing is there is no wakelock... it's only when screen is on but application is in background.
i have this problem on different ICS Roms. at the moment i am on cm9 and it is still present. when i check with "top" in terminal i can see that facebook.katana is at the top keeping the cpu pretty busy.
with samsung roms and the original samsung task manager i can see that it's always using over 50% cpu power.
i tried older versions. tried deinstalling. nothing helps.
i just dont know what it is doing in the background. cpuspy shows me that the cpu is mostly in 1ghz and deepsleep.
edit: i double checked and its also killing deepsleep. sometimes it enters sometimes not...

It happens to me on cm9 also... Every ICS Rom.
So No one has a solution for US?
Just to let you guys know that this also happens on my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.4 stock
In fact it happened also with Gingerbread... it started happening when Facebook made a major app overhaul to what is currently the new "user experience" for the past 4-5 months or so... that's when Watchdog which I have installed suddenly started complaining
Sorry for digging out this bit older thread, but have you found a solution yet ? I got the same problem since i changed to ics roms - first sammy leaks, then official, now nightlies. Tried wiping cache, dalvik, userdata, reinstalled app, ... to no effort.
Thinking about coding a facebook-killer widget. Take a look on this screens, 2 hours of cpu time for nothing...

I just use Watchdog what normally complains about Facebook a few minutes after I stop using it. Then I just kill the process from within Watchdog.
Using the browser is fine though.. however some things don't work so well in the mobile browser version.
To me this problem is quite symptomatic however from what I read on the internet it doesn't happen all the time.. even sometimes for me it doesn't stay clogging the cpu but most of the times it does.
I guess they will fix it one day but I wouldn't hold my breath that it will be soon. I read that on the iPhone the way they designed the app is pretty bad (it's sort of a skin over the actual mobile website). For Android it might be the same..
That the facebook devs are coding big BS (sorry) is really known.

Seems that it's a problem with the official ICS ROMs. Try Friendcaster and see if that's any better.

i uninstalled facebook for this
friends caster is A LOT better than facebook app
personally I didn't like Friendcaster. It was smoother in operation that Facebook's official app but it had some quirks (now can't remember them but there were a few things you couldn't do as opposed to FB's official app). But what stopped me from using it was the extended awake times I was getting even without automatic refreshes set up.

Q: I flashed CM10.1 but my GPS won't lock. Is there a solution?
A: Absolutely!
(Optional) Use TitaniumBackup to backup your apps+data
Use Recovery to Backup your current state (System, Data, Boot)
Flash a Sense ROM of any kind (I use MeanBean)
(Don't forget to do your wipes, of course)
*Once booted into a Sense ROM*
Make sure your GPS is turned ON and open up Google Maps
Wait for your GPS to lock
Reboot into Recovery and Restore your Backup
(Don't forget to do your wipes, of course)
*Once booted back onto your CM10.1*
Make sure GPS is turned ON and open up Google Maps
Your GPS should now lock.
Q: I noticed screen tearing (glitch-like symptoms) on my CM10.1. Is there a solution?
A: Absolutely!
Go into Developer Options
Scroll down to "Disable HW Overlays"
Check the box to disable
Screen tearing is now gone.
NOTE! You will need to do this on each reboot!
Q: Developer Options don't exist on my CM10.1. Is it hidden?
A: Kind of.
Go into About
Scroll all the way down and tap the build 7 times
You will notice a message saying Developer Options was unlocked.
Q: How do I get the Play Store on my CM10X?
A: You'll need to download a compatible GApps (Google Apps
You can find the latest GApps in this thread
Q: Why isn't my WiFi connecting?
A: That issue is usually caused by your router. Simply reset or unplug your router for 15 seconds and try again.
Q: I installed an AOSP kernel and my phone has been rebooting. Why is that?
A: The kernel may not be supported with your current ROM.
Some kernels have a voltage script provided by the builder. Ask the developer if there is one available.
You can also download Kernel Tuner from the Play Store to change voltage.
Q: Voltage? Kernel Tuner? What now...?
A: Within' Kernel Tuner you will want to go into Voltage and use the "All +12.5 mV" which will up the Voltage in all areas. I found that having 192MHz at 900mV will make CM10.1 plenty stable while not affecting battery life significantly. ROM and Kernel may very. Do some Trial and Error to see what is suitable for you
Q: My internal storage says I have less than I really should. Did I ruin my internal SD Card?
A: No. Don't panic.
All you need to do is Wipe your Internal Storage.
Backup your files if you don't want to lose them, of course.
Problem should be solved.
Issue usually occurs when flashing from Sense to AOSP or flashing numerous ROM's in a short period of time.
Q: Where can I find the latest Deck Builds?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110920
You can also check the iRC channel (info in the thread above)
Also, search Google for "CM10 EVO LTE irc" and click the first link
Q: Should I flash Nightly Builds or Deck's Builds?
A: Nightly Builds are official CM builds which don't include all of Deck's maintenance, tweaks, etc... You'll find that Deck's Builds just happen to be more stable.

I've been using CM 10.1 ever since it first came out .I love it but the only problem i got is the terrible battery life I've been experiencing .It has gotten lot worst over time now my phone barely last a couple of hours per charge.Is there any advice you can give me to get better battery life?
ive done clean and dirty installs to find a solution but still get the same result and i've never use another kernel with the ROM. The best battery life i've experience with my phone was with stock rom when i used to get 24hrs on one charge .i'm seriously thinking about going back to stock but i love CM10.1

That is pretty weird. I had that problem on the EVO 3D before. Were you or are you using any custom kernel, kernel tuner, or scripts at all?
I know, too, that the battery does seem to drain a bit fast at first but then it gets more subtle. MeanBean has been draining me worse than CM10.1 right now.

MeanBean has never treated me well on battery life no matter what I do. Not on my replacement anyway. On my other LTEvo it was working great. But... CM10.1's battery life shouldn't be that bad. Could always use Kernel Tuner to manage the CPU and Gov. a bit. Trial and error until you find a satisfied combination. I generally use Ondemand as opposed the interactive. I noticed Ondemand gave me better battery life. Haven't done much with the CPU speeds in a while so I'm not going to be too much help there... I also use System Panel to monitor apps, system, memory, and use its built-in task killer.

How to disable shutter sound?
In older versions of CM there used to be an option in system settings to disable the shutter sound in the camera app. I can't seem to find any options either in the camera settings or in the system settings for this in CM10.1. Anyone know if this is there or not? Or is it coming in a future version?

I had some trouble with apps wakelocking (for lack of a better word) when I first installed CM10.1. You can identify some of those with the wakelock detector app.

Thanks for putting this post together. I have always used Sense but have been wanting to try a CM10.1 ROM. This information is very helpful.
A question that I have is what bugs or issues are currently associated with CM10.1? Most of the CM10.1 ROMs under Bug List say "Any bugs currently in latest CM10.1." Is there a centralized place that lists all of the issues? Thanks.

The only thing I noticed going wrong was my background will occasionally disappear (go black). Sometimes it will pulsate or strobe. Only happens when I sleep the phone while in Messages, and wake the phone. After unlocking, the background will either be black, be black for a while and all of the sudden pop my background image back up, or just act normal. I have no customizations or anything so I'm not sure why this occurs. Otherwise, the Vertical orientation option for the App Drawer is still messy as it always has been. That's all I've noticed but I haven't tested the music player yet .

Power Shutter? If so, that's in the Camera app settings. Click the bottom-right screen-button and choose the bottom-center settings screen-button. I also have apps that'll randomly open when I wake the phone but I figured that was just because of the phone being in my pocket, turning on, and going to the app. It will open to the clock.

Actually, not referring to Power-Shutter. I'm referring to the actual sound that is made when you take a photo. It's a bit jarring/annoying to have it "dleep!" when I take photos. Back in CM7 I remember that we could turn that sound off.

Any source of info or attempt to help folks that either dont know or cant figure things out on their own is never a waste of time bro. Thanks

I looked everywhere and couldn't find an option. I really don't have the time to dig further into the actual coding either, unfortunately.

When I flashed CM 10.1 the only thing that worked was power button and volume. The screen was unresponsive, my bootloader is unlocked and I'm s-off hboot 2.09

And as you'll find stated numerous times: the latest touchpanel firmware isn't yet supported with most, if not all, AOSP ROM's. S-OFF, which will make you downgrade, and you'll be able to use your AOSP ROM's. And then you can update to the latest firmware minus the tp update.
