psyke83 has released new updated version of CyanogenMod ROM for G5 users. The new released version is CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1 v2.2.
Installation instructions can be found here: CyanogenMod 7 Installation Guide
What’s new?
- 20120317 [v2.2]
- Updated CyanogenMod source – version 7.2.0 RC1.
- Cherry-picked various patches from gerrit to fix issues with core binaries/libraries (dalvik, bionic, zlib, etc.).
- Kernel: updated europa-battery, pmem, fsa9280, android staging drivers.
- Kernel: reduce minimum CPU scaling frequency to 122Mhz (to see if sleep of death occurs with the new wireless driver).
- Wifi: using AR6kSDK.3.0_RC.298 source with patches to allow usage of Samsung’s firmware blobs, disable WoW (Wake on Wlan), and fix a certain case in which the driver blocks suspend. Note: the newest driver from freescale (AR6kSDK.3.1_RC.563) is not stable with our phone. This can’t be fixed easily, as the problem appears to be within the new proprietary firmware blobs, which is something I can’t fix. In the meantime, this driver should work well (and hopefully without any sleep of death issue).
- dhcpcd: patches to optimize dhcp requests for Atheros AR6003. This improves connection/reconnection speed and reliability.
- libhardware_legacy: increase wifi loader timeout from 1 second to 5 seconds. This ensures that the wireless driver is given time to settle before the first scan occurs.
- wpa_supplicant_6: wait for control interface monitor to be brought up before starting. Improves reliability of wireless when reconnecting from idle.
- libaudio: fix for minimum in-call volume being incorrectly muted in certain cases (including on speakerphone); fix FM audio when using no-microphone headphones.
- Switched to OuNao’s open libsensors – completely fixes accelerometer lag.
- Switched to “g5sensord”, Ounao’s open memsicd replacement based on freescale’s eCompass code – more battery efficient than proprietary memsicd daemon.
- GPS: use worldwide SUPL server by default. Initial reports indicate that people are having better connectivity with this setup overall.
- Compcache: back to 18%.
- ADWLauncher: lock action buttons by default (helps avoid cases in which users accidentally detach the icons for these buttons).
- Change scrolling cache setting to further improve scrolling speed.
- Disable automatic brightness setting by default. Our phone has no light sensor, and I suspect that the software implementation may be causing battery drain.
