Nope. Working fine for me. Maybe u can try clearing whatsapp's cache via settings/applications or even uninstall-reinstall the app.

You need to download the Gapps package.

Look for Google Apps Addon

Enjoy..

I don't think FM radio really works in CM7 yet.

From http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17020-a...post__p__149008

I believe there is no free and non-root full backup utility for Android at the present moment. Titanium Backup (needs root & paid license for full functionality) has been a real lifesaver for me countless times. More than worth its weight in gold, so to speak.

Isn't that a 30 day trial version and not technically a 'forever free' version? Anyway, I've always trusted Titanium Backup Pro, on my Tab and my SGS

Err, I use Titanium to backup apps (apk+data). For EFS, currently am using Root Explorer (paid app, bloody useful!) to copy the /efs folder to my sdcard (and then another copy over to my PC via mass storage mode). You can only access the EFS folder if your phone is rooted.

I am not sure how to backup the EFS using Titanium Backup, sorry.

Ha, can just copy and paste, as long as your phone is rooted and your file manager app has root support. Otherwise cannot, I think. Should have a number of files and folders inside the /efs folder.

Not sure if ES File Explorer has root features. Normally when an app has or needs root features, when you launch the app, SuperUser will prompt you to allow or disallow root access. My guess is ES doesn't have root functionality.

You may want to give SGS Tools a try..



Our resident guru had also mentioned SGS Tools way back in thread v14.



And the same info is on the first page of this thread, again by our resident guru..

Saw the updates posted in the xda-dev thread for CM7. Not available for download yet. The news is that we have to wait a few hours..

I can't wait, seriously. Gonna go watch Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and then check the forum again after that.

Lack of working TV-Out, FM-Radio and native AVI/MKV support are not important to me anymore since I have my Tab for that ha ha.. CM7 rulez!

Watched it at TGV (Penang). Not a bad movie, this 4th instalment of the Pirate saga. Not great though, IMHO. Peeps, don't waste money watching it in 3D - about the only thing really 3D about the movie are the subtitles and the credits..

Hmm, the latest CM7 zip seems to have trouble installing over existing CM7 installation unless you go back to stock Froyo or EZBase 2.0 first. Should I wait or should I revert to stock and install, decisions decisions..

Not that I know of. If your phone is rooted, do give Shootme a try, very easy to use, the default option is shake your phone to capture a screenshot. Can download from the Market. FOC.

A lot of things are made clear in the first few posts of this thread.

As to whether this phone is worth to buy now, based on your feedback above about wanting to just run stock ROM, I would suggest you go dual core. The SGS becomes very powerful and quick once you tweak and customise it although the more recent firmwares are pretty quick already.

Added on May 20, 2011, 2:55 pmYes, something's a bit off with the latest CM7 nightly's auto-brightness settings. Not a show stopper for me because I use PhoneWeaver (sadly, paid app) to set timed profiles on my phone (e.g. 9am-6pm 50% brightness, 6pm - 9am 20% brightness).

They're using iPhones

Ha ha, CM7 is really nice. Key features to note if you're considering it:

1. Doesn't have Samsung Touchwiz layer at all, meaning all the Samsung goodness (or badness) are not there.
2. Very fast and smooth, zero lag, I feel. Even the call log scrolls as smooth as butter.
3. Latest and greatest stuff from Google (i.e. Android 2.3.4).
4. Because of (1), FM Radio and TV-Out either don't work or have issues (didn't test since I don't use both).
5. No Samsung video player i.e. cannot play MKV, AVI files unless I install Moboplayer (which still has issues with MKV files in CM7).
6. Video camera does 720p recording, but output is a bit jerky to me.
7. Photo camera seems ok, probably slightly worse than Samsung cam app.
8. Slightly higher battery drain compared to stock or the popular custom roms available
9. Non-Wipe updates (called nightlies) are released very often (I like)

No problems, I don't leave ShootMe active all the time. I just run and 'hide' it when I want to capture screenshots, and quit it right after.

Anyway, CM7 is lightning fast, way faster than any Samsung stock ROM or any Samsung ROM-based custom ROMs that I have tried so a bit of slowdown wouldn't hurt ha ha.
