Hello,
I'm new here and i have a problem with my wifi.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1 and i never had problems with original rom.
The problem is that it makes a connection and keeps it when idling, but then when
i need to use it the connection falls away and doesn't reconnect automatically.
When i go to the wifi settings it does automatically tries to reconnect.
I found a fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177650
and i think that one should work. I tried to install the zip but it uses an older script version. I also tried to put the files on the cyanogenmod rom and flash it all again but i also get an error.
Is there any option to get it to the newer script version so I don't get errors anymore?

CM7.1 is old now. flash a newer version (the nightlies)
here:
Captivate: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=captivatemtd
Fascinate: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=fascinatemtd
Vibrant: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=vibrantmtd
i9000: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=galaxysmtd
download the newest file
I always thought that the nightly builds are like the experimental builds with possibly some glitches or something.
When i flash the newest version, do i lose all the settings and stuff or will it just update some files?

They are experimental...that's what makes them better. You get all the new features in it. Nd no they shouldnt wipe any of your data. Always make a backup though !!
They usually don't have any glitches...usually just new feature.
You should start looking at I cs roms though...they now pretty much all work flawlessly.
Been using my Vibrant ever since it came out and never deviated from the stock. The reason being that i intend my phone to be stable and want to use some of the t-mobile stuff which I fear may not be possible in other ROM. I've been reading the development section and I really have no idea which rom can fulfill my needs... since I couldn't find a list of stuff that doesn't work on those ROM.
Basically I'd like to retain the ability to use T-Mobile's wifi calling feature, plus the My Account app, (and 911, etc). Of course, the phone needs to be stable enough as I don't have a backup/landline phone. Optionally I'd like the new ROM to have a better reception in both cellular and wifi signal, as I feel they are somewhat lacking from all these years I've been using the phone.
If you think I should flash a custom ROM that's as bug-free as the rooted stock Froyo, I'd appreciate some suggestions
There is not a clear knowing of which rom will have issue with 911 dialing. As far as I know almost all if not all of the ICS and JB roms may have the issue. This user states he only managed to get 911 working on CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952311
With CyanogenMod roms, you will lose T-Mobile WiFi (unless there is a way to install it to CM7 I'm not sure). The alternative is using Talkatone or GrooveIP which utilize Google Voice to make free calls. My Account and other T-Mobile apps are available in the Play Store.
If you do want to install CM7:
Download the 3e Installer and update.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Follow the instruction on the 3e installer, then put update.zip into the "/sdcard" folder, also download a CM7 rom into there. Reboot into recovery by holding both Volume buttons and Power button, release them when the Samsung logo appears. In the recovery, choose and select "reinstall package" twice until the green ClockworkMod menu appears. Flash the cm7 zip file. Before you flash, you should create a Nandroid backup.

If you want to stick with stock, you can at least root the device. Follow the instruction above to get into ClockworkMod, but flash only the root package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479 (this only work with Android 2.1)
While you're at it, also flash the KB5 modem, which is the latest for the Vibrant, which can potentially improve signal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036161
Before you flash any custom roms, I suggest you root the phone and try out the app LBE Security Master (link in my sig). It can do things like freeze apps (similar to titanium backup) and prevent apps from auto launching. It does help make the phone lighter and have other useful features like quick toggles. It's a powerhouse tool. The recent version have some issues with freezing app on my XPeria Play Gingerbread though, so try an older version if you have issues.
As long as your USB port is still functional, you can always use ODIN to flash the device back to stock.
If you want Wifi calling you are going to have to stick with 2.2 / 2.2.1 / or it has been known to work with some 2.3 ROMs
If you want to remain with stock but have a little added features try this:

The last Froyo ROMs I was a part of was Bi-Winning Redux (2.2.1) and Axura - Resurrected (2.2). Both of those roms are able to use Wifi calling. All are also able to use T-mo and Samsung apps.
Bi-Winning Redux

Axura
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787267
Those ROMs above (or any 2.2 / 2.2.1 in vibrant forum) should have working 911, and GPS with little issues.
Thanks for the information. I'm currently using the stock 2.2 (UVKB5). Did that e3 recovery thing and clockwork recovery sorta works... (only used it once to flash the latest (bugged) su binary). Bi-winning and axura both are cool looking mods. both says able do make wifi calls... is it not the same thing as Tmobile's wifi? I'm aware there are ways to route gvoice via wireless lan, but I'm trying to maintain two numbers

Yes the Wifi calling on those two ROMs is the T-mo wifi calling. The Wifi calling apps should be attached in the treads as well.
Hey guys,
I have "cm-10.1-20131006-NIGHTLY-tf201" installed on my TF201.
There have been popping up notifications on newer Nightlies [cm-10.1-20131020-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip , cm-10.1-20131028-NIGHTLY-tf201.zip ].
I tried downloading both of the newer nightlies using the CMUploader integrater into the ROM but even when it does finish the download, it says that the "MD5 Checksum failed" and the download is cancelled.
I tried finding another route and downloaded the files straight from the CM website, uploaded them into the internal memory and flash them using TWRP but to no avail. I had to reflash the nightly mentioned above to get the system going on again.
How do I solve this situation?
The nightly I have installed is pretty unstable and I think upgrading to the newer versions could probably fix some of these crashes.
Another question:
Does the CM ROM support the keyboard extension for the device? I seem to be able to type and use the mouse but there is no indication whether there are 2 batteries and how much they are charged.
Hey Folks.
I recently purchased a Samsung Gear fit and was kinda assuming the apk floating around would install it and allow me to setup the device and then go from there. Well the app force closes upon opening the app. I am running Cyanide RC 17.1 - 5.1.1 Using his custom kernel. I have tried downgrading to a TW 4.4.? Rom and every single one just hangs on the Verizon logo on boot. I'm soft resetting the phone > CWM 6.0.4.3 (factory reset, Clear cache, Wipe Delvik) > Flash Rom. Every time same result. I am running the ND7 radio. I would really like to stay with 5.1.1 but I would also really like to be able to use the Gear fit.
I have run this Rom before upgrading to the LP versions. I really dont want to have to Odin back to stock and then root again and so but im starting to get that feeling it may be the only option. So i figured i would throw this out there first. This forum has some incredible Dev, Mods and users Im hoping someone might be struggling with the same prob.

I also tried this Rom

TIA for your help and Ideas.

I recently updated my brand new out of the box one max from version 4.3 stock to the latest sprint ota, updated profile and prl and then unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device via twrp. After following all these steps, I went to go install the latest CM12.1 nightlies and find the com.android.phone app constantly crashing on all calls. I cannot make nor recieve any calls, but LTE and text works. Is there any fix I should go about? I am trying to install a sense rom, update the profile/prl and test gps and make calls and then clean flash another cm rom.
Any thoughts from anyone? Also to add insult to injury, I am unsure if I HAVE to be S-Off to be able to flash cyanogenmod roms.
