[AOSP ROM] BETA CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha Release

[ItsTrentB]

From Hashcode via XDA:​

** [UPDATE 11/16] = Minor update adding Droid3Bootstrap / RomManager support for installs. You DO NOT need Safestrap to install CM7 now. Any Bootstrap will work.

[UPDATE 11/10] = Better audio (still debugging why volume will occassionally fall back down -- if it does go into settings -> sound -> volume and drag the media slider up -- will reset it), fixed bluetooth -- 2nd ota patch .zip for 5.7.894 OTA users

It's an OMAP4 optimized AOSP build using CyanogenMod sources. I used some of the published Moto Source (9/18) where I felt it was appropriate to get the low level services running. You will not see any Blur files in this build.

If you're running the 5.7.894 OTA, you will also want to apply a 2nd .zip afterward to update the few stock binaries that are in the build. It's under the .zip download links.

What is working in this build:

• Phone dial and recieve calls (10/18)
• Wifi
• SD Cards
• Audio is getting better
• GPS
• 3G data
• Bluetooth
• lots I can't list

Feel free to flash gapps and test away.
See 2nd post.

What isn't working:

• Camera app doesn't soft reset the phone anymore, but it isn't working yet either.
• Phone app FC's on the boot. Just close the notification and it'll restart 3G immediately.
• Audio is very funky atm. It's getting better. If you lose volume, try opening Setting -> Sound -> Volume and drag the "media" slider down and then back up.

GSM Users:

• I reviewed some changes submitted by XDA's coreless88 and for the moment I'm just not comfortable putting them in the main build. They would default the phone to GSM/WCDMA. I WILL absolutely get the native support for both GSM and CDMA working as this build matures. It just may take a while. If you really want a GSM variant of this build let me know and I'll reproduce a version with his build.prop changes. For me personally, this can't be a daily driver till the audio issues are fixed.

I am just relaying a message. I have been granted permission by Hashcode to help post where needed, and show support. Hashcode is available at the forums of XDA.. Support him && Check it out

Can we use the v.92 Bootstrap for other ROMs as well as for this CM7 alpha. In other words, is it ok to scrap the TWEAKED version of d3 bootstrap?
Please clarify for me. I am confused because i have seen three or more d3 bootstrap floating around.
Thanks.

No.....the board.config of Hashcode's CM7 compile is built around his safebootstrap and is only for his CM7. Nothing else is and requires the standard bootstrap.

He has also stated that he will (when the build is more beta and less alpha) compile one for the standard bootstrap recovery as well.

Thank you for your clarification.

I would flash this but I kinda need to be able to use my phone as a phone. Can't wait for the bugs to get ironed out!

Just be careful and note the voice coming from the other end is a little quiet. But it does work just a little quiet

I hope you have better luck then me. Hashcode said that some people are getting this. He is working on it though.

This rom is actually pretty fast considering the few things that are broken as if yet. I really like how there is zero blur involved.
