hi brother,
I’m using Kernel version” 2.6.35.7-perf-cl562111 ketut @ ketut-lenovo # 1″ in this version we cant disable camera shutter sound. Has this problem been solved in this version?
@Louis can you tell me which rom is stable and good enough for daily use
does proximity sensor work on your phone with this rom???
Since this thread is about CyanogenMod-7.2.0-by-FAT-KANG, this is the ROM I am using.
so proximity sensor is working???
actually i haven’t tried this rom yet and i don’t want to get stuck with bugs
Given this is neither final or the official CM7, there are bound to be bugs, so I think you’d be off sticking to the official Samsung ROMs since you are worried about bugs.
Actually i have become very bugged of the stock rom so i wanted to change to cyanogenmod
but i can’t decide which rom to choose
the xda page of this rom says that the proximity sensor is not working but over here everyone is saying that everything is fine and this rom is completely stable
so thats why i was asking if the proximity sensor is working in your phone or not
can you please tell me
See note for April 15. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4862
Somehow my reply got lost. Anyway see comment 2 (for KANG ROM) regarding the proximity sensor or the rest for CM7. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4862
Can someone pls tell me the bugs in this rom
Nothing dealbreaking I can remember!
are you sure??
because there are people here who are saying that packet data doesn’t work
What would happen if I did not format/system ????
packet data doesnt work…all apn are correct…anyone facing the same problem?pls help
yeah. Packet data is not working even i made a reflash still not working. Why was that? Any help? Thanks!
Pls help… My phone also face this issue…
Amazing ROM and very stable…
Only one problem, I can’t restore my messages and via TitaniumBackup. Can anyone help with restoring messages?
Thank yo
Indeed, it’s a stable release! I’m running it since today morning and the battery seems to be stabilized at 56%. Anyway, the GAPPS are working good, especially GMaps (I’m a heavy user of Google Maps)… I’ll post another comment tomorrow, after an entire day of usage.
Thanks for your useful feedback. Lookinf forward to hear more about this build.
Please ignore all the comments before this one! They were pertaining to a previous build before the article was update on 18th March.
what if u cant install CWM recovery, mine phone is GT-S5830D
How long i have to wait for official 7.2..there have been lots of post regarding the same coming up with official version
Don’t install this one, too buggy ATM, if Axel has time to update and fix all bugs, then it should be a good one.
Hi, can you elaborate on the bugs you mentioned? Just installed this ROM a couple of days ago (17 May) on my Ace and although everything seems fine so far, I’d like to know if there are still serious issues to watch out for.
does the packet data work???
Yes, packet data does work.
hmm… thanks!!!!!
any other bugs?????
None so far. By the way, I am not the person who mentioned bugs in the first place. Still waiting for him to shed some light on that.
just one last question!!!
does proximity sensor work???
I guess for proximity sensor (or anything that specific), you should consult changelog or error lists from cyanogenmod directly.
