[ROM Feedback] CM 6.0.2 (09/05/10)

To my knowledge, there is no thread dedicated to the new numerical releases of CM. Let us start with the newest, CM 6.0.2.
Please post your anecdotal data, including benchmarking scores, bugs, and glowing experiences. Perhaps this will serve as an unofficial repository for issues that prove consistent.
Note: After modifying my WiFi settings, specifically disabling sleep mode while the screen is off, I've encountered no related instability.
Mail FC Fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=394316&d=1283500340
Systemic issues yet to be addressed:
-LEDs do not work save for charging
-Outgoing calls initially drop before reconnecting
-Lockups or reboots, likely stemming from SetCPU
-OS does not recognize internal storage

Does this version fix the wifi not staying on?

Did you change your settings to Never sleep for wifi and just left the wifi on? Thanks...I want to try different settings and see if I can eliminate reboots/shut downs.

are we waiting for the nightly for the newest fixes like LEDs or is there gonna be a new release like .3?

OP you are a month behind (it's 9/3 not 8/3)
After fixing the mail fc, this rom is very stable except for one lingering issue. I guess it might be wifi related. I went all day without any issues with wifi on constantly (and bt) but when I left work (and seemingly as soon as I got out of wifi range) the phone was locked up with nothing on the screen, unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. This has happened since RC3 for me. I am going to try it without wifi over the weekend. Otherwise, BT streaming adio now works perfect, and the internal memory gets scanned for pics/images. I'm going to keep running it though as this wifi bug should be fixed soon.

not to mention we're commenting on it in the more official thread posted up by the author of the rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755690&page=111
however just to say it.. so far its running quite well, I found a correlation between wifi and BT causing issues with each other... commented on it in the other main thread after some extensive testing today.

Yes, there definitely is still issues with wifi. The issue seems to be exacerbated when running SetCPU with a profile that underclocks when the screen is turned off. Since I've stopped using SetCPU I havent had a single freeze, although I might have just gotten lucky so far.
SetCPU will not run at startup for me, even with the option checked to start at boot. I had to set Tasker to run it at boot as a workaround.
When phone is in Airplane mode I still am able to recieve text messages.

I would have to second the issue with SetCPU. As soon as I overclocked it and began using the rom I noticed the phone would get hot abnormally fast and would reboot a few times within the first few hours. Not sure what is going on here as it worked fine on the RC.

My phone doesn't vibrate when I receive an incoming call when the phone is set to vibrate.

Has anyone else noticed the keyboard lag when using the Messaging app? Browser and this xda app seem to work fine with no lag..
Other than that, smooth.

I believe the thread referenced by you refers to RC3, whereas I am specifically looking for feedback on the newest numerical releases of CM 6 for the incredible.

Update: leaving battery percentage at 91 before bed with system panel running, will see whats eating up the most juice. So far stable n fast with no issues (except LCDs).

I get random reboots and freezes every thirty minutes if so on a fresh wipe of 6.0.3 I tried with setcpu and without but always with the built in hotspot running. Same issue since RC3

LED notifications dont work. LauncherPro Plus FCs on every reboot, other then those things im good with it, great wallpapers , great rom

Battery life is terrible compared to sky raider with king kernel. Once we get some real kernels for this rom it should be better...

actually if you read the thread, you'll see koush himself is in there dealing with 6.0.2, offering up kernels and fixes...
he just hasn't updated the topic title.

Okay this may be a stupid question but how do I apply the mail fix?

Battery life was down to 81% 11 hours later, and the phone had been placed in Airplane mode while running Gentle Alarm and a few widgets (no auto task killer).
Breakdown:
System 0.6%
System Processes 0.3%
System Panel 0.3%
android.process.acore 0.1%
Plus several honorable mentions with 0.0%. I have yet to perform this experiment with Ruby or ID.

[Q] Erratic Touchscreen Issues

No matter what I do and however many times I flash cm7, I seem to have erratic touchscreen behavior.
The nook is BRAND NEW (two days) and I flashed it with cm7 7.0.2 stable (after phiremod's 6.0 & 6.1) and flashed it about four times now.
I have tried it with the OC and without.
It's not the SD - it doesn't matter if it's in or not.
Not the wifi, since I didn't even set it up the third and fourth time - it was too erratic to even try.
Plugged in or not... still the same problem. Doesn't seem similar to the other forums topics about touchscreen issues WHILE charging.
Screen is near spotless... no smudges.
It is important to note, that it waits until I have done a few things to start going crazy. I restart it and it's fine, until I do some cpu intensive stuff - live wallpaper is the simplest activity that causes it.
Any ideas?
I have also tried NSR (screen re calibrator) to no avail.
Would love a quick fix rather than re-installing stock and returning it and convincing them to replace it. I am not sure if it does it with stock... didn't wait long enough to find out before flashing it.

have you tried a screen protector? my screen wasnt the best for precise touches but since i put a screen protector on and clean the screen regularly it has since changed my problems to almost non existant.

Others may be able to help you more than I can with exactly when the CM7 may be doing this, but returning to stock to find out is actually not hard at all.
In the development thread there is a post that has the 1.2 stock zips (one keeps CW in place, the other returns it completely to stock). Which ever one you pick it's still just as easy to return to stock as to reflash CM7 again. This is especially true if you used a SD card with CW to flash (which is what I do), since when you want to go back to CM7 you won't have to worry about flashing CW to emmc again.

Hate to say it but it sounds like it might turn out to be a hardware issue. This is not a CM7 issues that I've seen from anybody.
Can you describe the behavior in more detail?

It seems to start selecting things on its own after I have been using it for a while. It's difficult to describe except that there isn't really a pattern... it selects something different and keeps at it. At one point I almost purchased an app from the market before I had to power down.
I will return it to 1.2 stock and report back. I was mainly wanting to know if these was a commonly reported issue or not. I guess it's not. Thanks for the help everyone!

So my NC started to do the same thing last night. I have been running CM7 (at 7.0.2 now, but nightlies before then with dal's OC kernal) for quite a while now with no problems. Only thing I did last night was to delete about 1GB of ebooks off of my NC and reload them through Calibre.
I left it alone last night after it started doing it and then this morning it started doing crazy touches again. I was in Aldiko and it was selecting books and turning pages at random. Rebooted and it seems to be fine for now. Little odd though considering it has been running perfect for a few months.

So now I have installed nook stock 1.2 and NO PROBLEMS. I have run everything trying to get something to happen, and nothing.
Is it possible that I installed something the wrong way with cm7? Could I have used the wrong CWM version (3.0.0.6)?
Should I try cm7 7.0.2 or something else again?
I would try and return it, but I can't recreate the problem... if I could, I would be in their face right now.
Thanks for the help so far.

I think I solved it!
The newest nooks (in the last week or so) have 1.1.0 factory stock. Apparently there is a glitch that has been reported a lot recently about handling the touchscreen AND the SD card. These were fixed in the 1.2 upgrade. SO...
1. I flashed factory stock back on (in this case I went back to 1.0.1)
2. Then turned it off and "restored factory" settings using "Power+N" to turn it on. Repeated that a second time to get B&N's factory reset screen to come up.
3. Pressed N twice to accept restore prompts.
4. Upgraded to 1.2 (no glitches already by this point with touch or SD)
5. Booted CWM 3.0.0.6+
6. Formatted /system & /data
7. Flashed phiremod 6.1
8. OC'd to 1.1Ghz
...and DONE. No problems so far. I still see the "Read Forever" opening screen, but it still works wonders. WAY better than before.
I am still having issues with Wifi, but I can deal with that.
Now to attempt dalingrin's OC to 1.3!
Thanks guys... hope this helps others.

I think they call it "Touchscreen goshting". It started happening to me when I rooted the nook and the keyboard would go crazy. Now in CM7 7.0.2 with latest kernel, it happens more frequently. About 5 minutes in from boot, fast random touches occur. Most of the times this gets fixed by pressing the power button to turn the screen off (sleep), and on again. I guess it could be a hardware issue where some devices are affected. I haven't tried any recalibration apps to try to fix it yet, its kind of annoying when it happens in fast intervals.

I had weird touchscreen issues when using the interactive cpu governor. I later found only performance is supported. Using performance setting, everything works much better.

I had the same issue. I exchanged it the other night and now my new one does not have the problem. It probably a hardware issue...i hope you are still under warranty!

ICS Troubles...

Finally took the OTA update to ICS after fighting it for so long.. Just as i suspected, i have a host of issues.. Rooted via razr
Bluetooth constantly dropping out. Just like it did with the leak, for me. I can't seem to find ANY fix, anywhere out there. I need my bluetooth, i use it for so many things.
Significantly slower than the leak was. Ugh.. The leak was ultra snappy, and this is constantly bogged down. Everything takes twice as long
Lots of FCs. Seems unstable.
Now, i thought about FDR'ing and starting from scratch.. however.. i'll still have the bluetooth problem. I'm thinking of unrooting and going to verizon to see what they say.
So few questions:
1. Can i unroot via razr also? If not, how do i? Should i delete titanium or any other "root only" apps?
2. Would verizon actually be able to do anything about the bluetooth issue? Would they swap out a different phone perhaps?
3. Lastly, my screen is broken. Think they'll hold that against me?

This is from Imish Android Forums:
Restarted Phone
Restarted Bluetooth Device
Went into settings --> applications --> all -> bluetooth share - and clear all data
Went into settings --> applications --> all --> Bluetooth Test - and clear all data
Tapped already paired bluetooth device and hold it for few seconds and at the same time hold the bluetooth device
and here you go, it got paired....
Not sure if this process works for all, but it certainly helped me
Thanks for all the help, and i never saw the GEAR icon on the already paired device
And Architech:
EDIT: Nevermind. I fixed mine by turning off my Pro Plantronics headset. Then, I held the power button in until it started flashing blue and red. I did a scan for it and it paired. This was after I did the clear data thing, so maybe that helped too. Anyway, fyi for anyone that comes across this thread.
From the sounds of it factory reset your phone or if you can just flash a rom to it to get rid of the updates, like you said, seems like the updates coz problems, frankly, take a look at eclipse ICS or Icarus HD ICS roms, hope this helps.

I wouldn't assume this is true. Your Bluetooth issues could be caused by leftover gunk from Gingerbread, in which case an FDR would fix the problem. Personally I use multiple Bluetooth devices and they all work flawlessly with my Bionic running stock ICS.
Official ICS should also not be running slower than the leaks. You should definitely try an FDR before attempting anything else. It has helped numerous people with speed/battery/other issues after the upgrade.

[Q] Problems with Touchpad CM

Have been using Touchpad CM9 for a long time, and 2 months ago reflashed it due to the '50 apps in sd card' issue. I reflashed it to the most recent CM9 nightly and it was stable with camera working and all. However what I realised was that there was this space at the top of the screen, about 2cm long, that does not detect any touch at all. This give problems as certain apps have tabs at the top and I can't access those tabs (for e.g. Browsers). On landscape the back button can't detect my touch (on landscape and with the "space" on my left). I wasn't really using my Touchpad much during this period but have recently been more active on it, thus its problematic for daily use.
I have just flashed CM10 over CM9 and this problem persists. I have went into developer options and enabled "Show Touches" and when I reach that "space" it stops detecting my touch and disappears. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some help :/

Sigh guess I should look into the chinapads my friend was recommending just this morning

Just wondering, is it possible to have android ruin the "hardware" aspect of the tablet? I am thinking of removing android and seeing if it exists still on my Touchpad.. Hmm..

No, android does not cause a hardware problem, AFAIK.
Use acmeuninstaller then follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
If you have problems with novaterm, there is a workaround on page 12.
If after this you still have the problem, then you know that it's hardware.
Read the whole thing, it's very informative.
Edit : use cm10.1, it should give you access to the back button in landscape mode.

Thanks for the help! Will try this after backing up my stuff via Helium.
I have the impression that 10.1 isn't that stable, but I am likely wrong. Dont seem to see any cm10.1 with low deep sleep drain + working camera & mic + most other functions, or I could be looking at the wrong places.

I use milaq's nightlies, and for my needs, it's more than adequate.

Invisiblek's 4.4 12-30-13 Nightly Impression

I can't post this on the Milaq thread (where most of the invisiblek discussion is) so I thought I would post it here to give anyone else a heads up.
The Good:
It's a fairly stable kernel and all my apps run seemingly just fine. I mean I've only been running it about 5 hours but not a single FC. I did have a weird bootup glitch that locked it up right away after install but after that I loaded all the apps just fine. Super exciting to see it so far!
The Bad:
Screen pixelation/tearing from left to right, especailly on grey backgrounds. Something is up with the video driver/gpu voltage. Certain icons like the Settings sprocket will have a few pixels that will flash and other times you'll see lines all the way across the screen. It might be color specific. I was playing Quadropus Rampage and never noticed it but then went back to the home screen or typing an e-mail and it's very much there.
Pandora plays music fine. If you turn off the screen while playing, horrific things happen like ZZZZZZZZZZZZ and then hard lock. I didn't like that station anyway..
The "OK Google" voice command doesn't seem to work though voice typing does. I'm pretty sure this worked on the Milaq build of the same date.
It's a bit slow and CPU is stuck to 1188. There is a bit of a lag switching apps but I don't notice any core functions slow.
The Different:
The home button doesn't wake up the TP. Only the power button.
Can't say anything about battery life quite yet but I'll keep a gander on it. Battery hasn't been a super concern of mine because I plug it in ever night

The Different:
The typical 15 second reset switch mult-button key is more like 3 seconds now. I like this a lot better.

Positive:
--backup and restore work
--it is getting much better.
Negatives:
--Microphone does not work, so I could not use any vioce search or voice dialer/sound recorder.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" has black box issue.
--Youtube still has reboot issue.
--TV streams app "syncbak" has similar reboot issue.

My wifi keeps shutting off and won't restart without reboot. Not even sleeping. Other than that it runs nicely.

Switched to milaq's 3.0 kernel.
The CPU is pre-configured to run at much higher 1.5Ghz, yet the 3.0 rom is still able to run very stable.
I am waiting for camera fix to enable video calls.
Since both 3.0/3.4 rom are using the same CWM, it makes 3.0/3.4 rom switch very easy.

Waiting on Flintmans as it is the only non data media rom. Not a big fan of all the repartitioning. For several reasons. Good to see choices still available. God bless the developers for all their time and effort. Wish I could do what they do.

I flashed 3.4 rom (0103) over 3.0, and tried briefly.
--3.4 rom seems running OK, except it runs relatively slower at 1.1Ghz.
--camera is not working on both 3.0/3.4 rom.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" seems not compatible with 3.x kernel. It also cannot run on Samsung S3.

Same here. Also double check that the setting took. I swear I unchecked it and it went back or didn't take the first time. Perhaps give it a toggle or two. I also noticed that if wifi turns off, it won't turn back on.

Anyone else having a problem with rebooting from within CM and it just goes to a blank screen?

Dirty flashed to the 1/5 nigthly. Reboot issues seems gone now, or just that a reflash has fixed mine specifically.

Just noticed that there is an official thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592909

Negative on the posting. I'm still seeing the bzzzz when the screen shuts off while playing music. Have disabled the mic (I think). Curious that nobody on that thread has reported that quite yet.

I'm very excited to see all of this development on our old TPs! I'm currently running Milaq's latest 3.0 kernel test build. It is running almost perfectly for me! I cannot wait for 3.4 to finish getting smoothed out. I've tried Invisiblek's builds out, and they currently seem a little laggy compared to Milaq's 3.0 test build. Great work all around though! Thanks to Invisiblek, Flintman, Milaq, JCSullins, Dorregary, and all of the others that I haven't mentioned who have contributed so much of their time and skill toward keeping our Touchpads relevant, even competitive with the current crop of tablets on the market!
