Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.

-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.

-You might want to detail these better.

-I do this through tasker.

-Dont know
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.

-CM7

I actually just found this one for KF3 so I'm going to test it in a moment

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?
Okay here are my phone's specs:
Model number - SGH-T959
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - T959UVKA7
Kernel version - 2.6.35.12-ge334261 [email protected] #1
Mod version - CyanogenMod-7-08252011-NIGHTLY-Vibrant

Here's when the problem started then I'll explain it.
I was trying to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751031
But when I did it said something about CM 3.0 doesn't support a certain kind of script so it aborted.
My problems:
When I turn on my phone it says that the Wi-Fi calling has stopped
I had it set so my phone would vibrate when I press the home bar buttons.
Every time I try to run the Wi-Fi calling ,it stops.
I have it set so when ever I press a button on the on-screen keyboard it should vibrate but it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.
If you need logs then I can get them, just need to tell me where they are.
EDIT - Also, the LEDs on my phone never blink, not when I have an email or text message, nor when I charge my phone. Is this just a limitation with CM7? Or how do I fix it?
Also, I realize that CM7 drains batteries pretty quickly, if you have a suggestion for an easy to install ROM/Kernel that is great at saving batteries, but keeps ADW, and most of the customization options available in CM7, do share.
Thanks again.
Also it seems that my phone is stuck charging at 57%
It's been there for a few hours now.
UPDATE -
I have it now so that the phone vibrates when I press a button with the on screen keyboard
It is charging past 57%
The home bar buttons still do not vibrate even though I have it set so they do.
UPDATE -
The video recording is very choppy. I took a video yesterday and it wasn't this choppy.
Umm so I'm guessing, nobody can help me?

dunno bro,,, just try another kernel,, i think wolvireine is a good kernel,, im trying Reduct kernel better for OC, but i think it uses battery more then wolve!
Hi, i was delaying this topic but i can't help it, i need your expertise.
When i answer calls and get the phone close to the ear the phone constantly vibrates, like in 10 and 10 seconds. Even if i have an unread message or not ... How can i disable this thing ? My girlfriend hears the sound of the vibration from the other side of the call .. and annoys me too ...
xLoud feature never works ... or at least i think it doesn't, because when i select it at definitions -> sound and return to the sound menu it will be disabled again ...
When i'm on a call, i hear some interference like the sound of a television getting radio interference from a cell phone but in a microscopic way .. Not that this annoys me that much, but you know i like my stuff to be 100% pimped and fully working.
Thanks.

i think it should be setted in setting open settings<cyanogenmod setting<sound<and there you found the setting that vibrate during calls so u disable that then u can be away from ur problem
or other wise open settings<call settings < there u can find the setting that to vibrate for every 45 sec option so disable that uthen you can be away from ur problem
and u can enjoy talking with ur gf
Sorry for the long time to respond, thanks that helped. What about the other problems ?
I'hav got another problem now, sometimes after charging, i turn on the phone and it freezes in sony ericsson logo, i have to remove the battery and turn it on again ....
So, someone have this types of bugs ?
thank you
Used pauls awesome rom v21 for a long time, didnt experience this problem though
How screens actually has a screen proximity sensor, when we move phone close to our ear during phonecall, it detects it and turns off the screen. When you pull it away the screen comes back on. This is for battery saving.
In your case if it vibrates every 10 seconds during a call i think it is uncommon, maybe u can try setting vibration off for notification sounds and see how that works? Like reddy suggested?
Could be a bad installation. But just a suggestion, i recently unlocked bootloader, installed nAa kernel and install pauls cyanogenmod 9 v2 rom and it works ultra smooth, i recommend you try it out. The nAa kernel should give u general improvements in the phone also
Hi,
Have you this requirements:
- Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware
- Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
If you have, try to make a full factory reset and wipe cache and see how it work's, if you have the same problems you should conciderer make a new reinstalation.
This topic will be posted and discussed bugs CM7.2 by FAT. I did not give a GitHub bugtracker because the mode is more convenient forum to work with users.
Bugs:
1. massive battery drain.
2. camera goes darker when switching to video mode, and still dark when switching back to photo mode. need to close and reopen camera to make it normal again
Total bugs:

btw bugs from previous/other cm7 version that still plague later build including yours
1. massive battery drain.
2. camera goes darker when switching to video mode, and still dark when switching back to photo mode. need to close and reopen camera to make it normal again
Latest Google Maps not working (according to reports, haven't tested), this is an important app!!!
A Github available so you can share your code. Android is open-source, and it is important that you share your fixes with the community, not just compile "closed" ROMs!!!

Same here..And I don't know why CM touch screen sensitivity always have different 'feel' compared to stock ROM, without notice I'm always touch the screen more tightly to prevent miss touch. I think you guys understand well
Ps. Since this ROM is nearest to official then I'll tell more CM bug:
The bass sound's ugly than stock. You can check with mort player with same equalizer (without DSP mgr of course). Also the equalizer freq change from 5 freq (stock) to 6 freq (CM) and if you slide bass booster on mort, the sound more awkward
Um..oh. Laggy gallery! LOL

Not only for messages but when someone is talking to you in WhatApp and others, with all notifications. I think this is to warn you that something happened when the phone was in standby. It's not a bug imo.
The same thing happens with others CM7 roms that I've tested and the AOSP too.
but until you use them do not light. remember that in another CM7 ROM, this does not happen if I went to Settings-> CyanogenMod-> Interface-> LED Notification, except that in this rom, there is no menu Led Notification
is a very good rom but i have a problem, i test smartass, v2, conservative and never enter in deep sleep always 245mhz (my min frequency).
ps: sorry my bad english.

That is common..
Market does not get updated to the latest version. In earlier CM versions, it used to get updated.
Market.
*edit Fixed the problem with market icon
Great ROM so far.
text messaging touch goes rumbled, maybe coz of sensitivity... hope to fix it on next release :clap: more power to Frozen Ace Team...
After two days of usage, I would like to report that this ROM has battery drain issues. Much more than the vo-1 version of CM 7.2
wifi?
Wifi does not work for me. It doesnt scan. When I turn it on in the notifications bar it just turns itself off again after a minute or so.
In the settings the same thing happens. (sometime here it even force-closes)
I found this in the ROM-Thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292):

Wi-Fi works fine, but when you turn it ON you can`t see all points, as on stock FW. You must go to the Wireless setting and insert your password there."
When I tried several times to type in the password and SSID it still didnt connect and just turned wifi off again.
Unfortunaly, this link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41455-cyanogenmod-7172-samsung-galaxy-ace/ does not work for some reason. (maybe just my computer...)
just checked, it worked: link is not helpfull
i just upgraded to stock jb but i just found that vibration doesn't work with notifications mostly when in vibration mode that's number one and i noticed that battery drains much faster than the ics is these normal or not srry i am noob..... so any help would be appreciated
1) Vibration: adjust the settings. It works, but you have to set it accordingly
2) Batt. drain: that is really a problem with the JB ROMs and everyone - myself included - has been complaining about it. Let's just wait and see if there are updates to the ROMs in a near future. So solution so far
i got the sound and vibration checked in setting but still don't get any vibration when i get a message in vibration mode
I managed to fix the vib problem, vibration was disabled in messaging
