I also get the option, but it hangs on "Getting Current Location". Also seems to have made a few apps disapear when my phone boots up.
[Android Apps and Games] mrfurion:
I have a Galaxy S... similar hardware to the Nexus S but does anyone know whether changing the build.prop as described by dvinnen will cause problems with other apps or phone functions?
[Android Apps and Games] dvinnen:
I haven't run into any issues with it yet but I could see there being problems. An app might think you have the NFS radio or something. Worth it, for me atleast, to be able to watch games on my phone.

It is poor resolution though, dunno why they can't do a h.264 stream instead of a flash stream.
[Android Apps and Games] etamme:
I have followed dvinnen 's build.prop settings on my Viewsonic Gtablet running vegan 5.1.1 and have not gotten the mlb.tv option to show up.

Also - strangely, the app never asks for my user/pass, even after i have cleared cache and data for it ... weird.

I would like to be able to watch games on my nice tablet sized screen .. but no luck so far.

Any info is appreciated.

Do you have the paid app? Or just the free one?
[Android Apps and Games] cheezaliciouz:
fix works for me, im on an hd2 with a cm7 2.3.3 build, greatly appreciated seeing as i bought mlb.tv for the sole purpose of streaming on my phone and was pissed to see it wasnt working
[Android Apps and Games] cheezaliciouz:
it was doing that for me too, so i used "location spoofer" that i dled from the android market to spoof my location to anywhere outside the blacked out area of the game youre trying to watch. worked for me after that...

Hey Guys,

is there any possibility to change the "camera-button" back to phone-button?

Thank you for your answers
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Idhor Naergon:
There is already a thread about it... please, search before open new threads.

No, there is not any possibility to back the key to phone button, WP7 needs a hadware camera button.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
So I've been read a few threads, but haven't found anything yet. Not to break "the golden rule" of CM7, but are we close/will we ever get stock-like battery life for CM7? It has greatly improved since the early days of CM7 nightlies, and I've seen mad-murdock various fixes. I also know that dalingrin is working on it, but would like to know with the new 2.2 OEM ROM coming out, what the haps is ;)

Thanks all for the great work and great community!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woot1524:
We don't get stock-like battery because CM7 doesn't sleep. The current kernel (2.6.29 I think) panics when comming out of sleep, hence, 'sleep of death'. Dal says that he's solved the SOD problem in the new kernel (2.6.32) he's working on. It's just not stage ready yet.

There was talk last week about the new kernel possibly not being included in the first stable release of CM7. If I remember right, it's because they want to focus on getting a polished, bug-free, and stable version going on the current kernel (which has many backports from the new kernel, so we're not at a real big disadvantage) before completely debugging the new one.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
Thanks for the complete and informative reply. I just like being in the loop :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
My only correction is that most of the 2.6.32 work has been done by Verygreen. I don't want to take credit for his great work.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 511pf:
Just want to say thanks for all the hard work, and I too am interested in this issue being fixed. It's the only thing holding me back from what looks like a great release in CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennn:
Count me is as waiting for this.

For now I just shut down and reboot when I want to use it. Other then this issue, CM7 is great on the Nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambogt:
Once SOD is solved, the nook color is going to really shine. Dalingrin, your 413a kernel is absolutely stunning. Keep up the good work devs!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
have you seen the issues with latest ALSA and kernel?

Seems we are all having crashes of hardware acceleration after a while of use. Only fix is a reboot

Any change to kink at this before next week?

Must say otherwise this kernel had been with smooth high performance on video and games.

From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
Dal said he was busy/away this weekend, so won't see anything til later. It is a beta test kernel, after all :D I flashed it but had some crashes, so I restored a backup I made right before.

That being said, I hate sounding like a whining brat (like a lot of people on here). I really am just curious with how things are (in an inquisitive manor, not a "I WANT IT NOW" one). Truth be told, the NC has come SOOOO far in the last few months, and I have been so stoked to be along for the ride.

I like to think I was the first person ON EARTH :P to load up Dal's kernel the day he fixed the hardware acceleration. I love the discussions on here, and (most) of the people. It is really a cool and special thing to be involved in a community like this. I know most devs may think that when I (and others?) say thank you, it's in a manor that may sound insincere, but really, you guys are awesome.

Due to all the development here, I started teaching myself Java and how to use the SDK to try and make apps that can benefit people on here in some way. I just wish I knew more about development of the actual kernel/rom. After this term I plan on dual booting to ubuntu on my x64 desktop to try and get into compiling/editing the source, but have to get through this term. CFD and incomp. fluid mechanics take up a bit of time :D

Really. Thank you all! You are all awesome!

Another perspective

Let me offer some perspective on this.

We used to have Motion LS800 WinXP tablet at work. It basically had standby SOD problem. Would not wake from sleep (power down, suspend to RAM). We ended up putting it in hibernation (power down, suspend to HDD) instead. Those of you who remember WinXP laptops may know what I'm talking about.

We went through updates, hotfixes, service packs, an entire upgrade to Win Vista. Nothing solved problem. Finally an upgrade to Win 7 allowed the LS800 to sleep properly. All in all, it took Microsoft 3+ years to give us a fix.

Going by that performance standard, CM7 should have Nook standby SOD issue solved sometime in the year 2014. Anything before then would be pure gravy.

EDIT: Actually, I hope I didn't offend CM7. It's not a standby "problem," it is a standby compromise, to allow development on other front.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swaaye:
Some PCs have sleep problems because of USB and ACPI quirks unfortunately. They are usually hardware and/or BIOS issues not related to the OS. I think MS tightened down the requirements for Windows certification since. But there are ways to get XP usually sleeping right (I've spent a lot of time on it lol).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedLine:
True, lab mainly rocking pre-Prescott p4 Dell-branded boxes, no reason to upgrade, but none can really sleep.

Regarding the LS800, same hardware, different OS, still counts as a software fix. How many thousands of engineers in MS Windows division? There's only three developers for CM7 Nook.

I'd say that merits cutting them some slack, not a lot, just a little, maybe expect fix by year 2015.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDidItAll4theNookie:
If you want sleep issues, try building a hackintosh! :p At least CM7 turns off the screen and then turns back on again. My hackintosh experiment ran great other than sleep, which left me frustrated to the point of selling off the hardware.

Anyway, I love CM7. Works great on all other fronts. While I appreciate the battery life of stock, everything else is just frustrating by comparison. I'd love to see a nice HC build someday, along with app-makers getting some tablet-compatible updates out (at least so the apps don't force quit). I'm so conflicted on what to run at this point that I dare not try any other ROMs. I don't want all my time on my NC to be in CWM. :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matyou98:
I am looking for a stable 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom for my wifes g2. I have glanced at the development forum and it seems gingerbread is all the rage right now. My wife just needs a solid, dependable, daily driver. I just want to flash something for her that works and be done with it. The stock rom seems to have some bloat and I am hoping for better battery life as well.

What is the most popular rom at the moment? I rooted her phone (permanent s-off) so I am ready to go. Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
I would honestly suggest cm7. Or for the best sense rom, virtuous. You could just remove the bloat with Titanium backup from the stock rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matyou98:
Thanks for the info. I will probably give virtuous a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Highly recommend virtuous' froyo offering until the dev releases the gingerbread version. I've been using it since I got my DZ and it's simply amazing how stable and fast it really is.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astriaos:
I actually flashed Virtuous this morning to see if it was any good and all I can say is it was laggy as a shaggy sheep. I flashed the whole thing through rom manager and did a full wipe so I don't know what the hell but it was insanely laggy. You could hit a button and wait well over a second for a response. Maybe I needed to flash a new kernel? Maybe I needed to run the update from .0 to .1? Who knows?! I found it aesthetically pleasing but that is about it. (Maybe it is because I have a g2 and it is for desire z?)

For stable daily drivers I've been using Cm6.1.1 for nearly a month. I found Cm7RC4 to have to many niggling issues like my camera locking up the phone every couple times I tried to use it. Let alone needing to use gps.

I hear good things about miui but I cannot speak from experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db1911:
I've been using CM7 RC2 for a couple of weeks now without issue. It has been stable, improved battery life and performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engorge:
I'd also suggest CM7. I've been using that ever since i rooted my phone, and havent had any problems with it so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
I have never flashed a rom through rom manager. Only really used it to get CWM installed. I prefer to get a rom going the old fashioned way and flash through recovery. Did a full wipe of data, battery, davlik then installed the rom on day one and has been running flawless ever since.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
While CM7 is working good its not 100% stable yet. There are random reboots and freezes. I would say the most stable ROM at the moment is CM6.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841275 It's not Gingerbread but still everything works and there are no problems to report.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Keep in mind that CyanogenMod is designed specifically to be *fast*. Virtuous is simply a port of the HTC Sense ROM. Also, keep in mind that Virtuous comes 'out of the box' with the regular HTC kernel - 800MHz, no changes. There are 2 additional kernels available: Standard - OC'd to 1GHz (highest you can go without changing voltage) and a built-in screen off profile. Does not support SetCPU or anything. Advanced is a full-blown open kernel - you can setup your own profiles, overclock (I think to 1.5GHz or so). I personally run Advanced to 1.2GHz with some other profiles, but if it was my wife's phone, I'd toss the Standard kernel in there and call it a day.

Also, Sense *does* add some bloat (it's an entirely new UI), but it's totally worth it, IMO (especially for a girl's phone). The improved visuals, extra features, etc make it totally worth it. If you're doing that much, go ahead and setup LauncherPro instead of the stock Sense launcher and she'll be rocking and rolling.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matyou98:
This is very helpful info everyone. I now have to decide between cm 6.1 and virtuous. Sounds like both of these roms are the set it and forget it variety which is what I was looking for. She is not a flashaholic like myself so one stable rom is all I need.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
I used to use virtuous but now I'm running sense ginger from team villain. Flawless IMHO. By far the best battery life I have ever had with normal use. Give it a shot. Also FYI you need to OC virtuous to run good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foksh:
From experience... Virtuous

Nice and stable
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astriaos:
See that is the thing, I don't like the fact that I will have to overclock my phone to make Virtuous "run good". That is pretty damn silly in fact. I mean they package the kernel for stock speeds since it is based on the DZ stock rom. What about all those desireZ owners? They surely don't have to overclock to make their phones run without any lag. Why not package a kernel that is capable of overclocking to a reasonable speed out of the box like any one of the cyanogen releases?

I feel this is a tremendous oversight on the ROM developers part. I would love to rock their rom and get a good feel for Sense UI so all the people who come to me for advice on tech related matters can have my unbiased opinion on the UI, not what I had to go through to make it run without any lag. That is some Grade A bull****.

I suppose it would be less bull**** if I knew how to flash a kernel. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
You flash it the same as a Rom except no wipe and it takes about 30 seconds. Also virtuous used to come stock with overclock but took many people were having issues with it. As in they don't know how to set up proper profiles with a setcpu type program. So the overlook kernels became an extra add-on for more advanced users.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontornblom:
Virtuous is good with overclock. I found the untouched gingerbread sense ruu that rmk prepared to be a lot smoother. Bluetooth was a bit hit and miss though.

I'm on the saga ginger sense rom right now and no issues at all. Had to tweak some aesthetic things like font, but it's good.

Still haven't found a rom on the dz as good as Super D was on the G1 yet...

Man, Super D rocked...I'm getting all nostalgic. I'm gonna have to go visit my g1 soon (I sold it to my buddy) lol oh yeah...I'll visit my buddy too haha
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
Funny thing, I think the first 20 or so minutes on a new rom may not be representative. I flashed my wife's mt3g slide using the stock update, and it lagged BADLY for the first 20 min. Including a battery pull because the phone app (com.android.phone) went non responsive. Just my $0.02.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepaddedroom:
I mess around with other roms, but I keep coming back to CM6.1.1. Virtuous is nice, but I'm not a fan of Sense UI.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slider6000:
Ultimate Droid 3.2.5

This rom gives you plenty of options, is as stable as CM6.1 or more stable. Runs faster.

I do think it scores somewhat slower on the benchmarks, however in this users opinion it is much faster in scrolling, loading, and general usage.

You will have to google to find it, but give it a try. You can have lots of the sense elements or disable them if you want a more plan vanilla experience.

Also I did very much like cm6.1

Cm7 is coming along but still working out many bugs... see the changelog. Many will say this is stable enough for daily use.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NAM_killer:
I used to use virtuous, have since moved on to gingerbread ROMs though. When I was using virtuous it was brilliant. Fast and stable. It was not laggy like another user said. I used CWM recovery to flash it and did a full data/cache wipe beforehand and you should do whenever you change ROMs. Another vote for senses ease of use and virtuous' reliability!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcdeux:
I use cm7 rc4. Never had one random reboot or whatever was said earlier. No rom is going to be perfect other than stock. I'm a rom whore and in my opinion cm7 just plain works the best and smoothest.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astriaos:
Guy, I already said that I did a full wipe of the phone and cache before flashing the rom. I realize this is all rather elementary now that Cm7 stable has dropped but at least get your facts right.

Speaking of CM7 stable I'm still having GPS connection issues nor was the Gmail margin issue fixed however my issues with battery life I was seeing on RC4 have vanished so that is a plus, but still no cigar. Stick with cm6.1.1 if you're never wanting to have to mess with it. Wait till the next update or patch for Cm7 drops before you reflash if you ever use GPS. I just sat outside under clear skies and smoked 3 cigarettes and downed half a strong mixed drink waiting for gps to hook up and no dice.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumitg2:
Honestly I would recomend you stick with stock and just remove all the bloat apps with Titanium. Its the most stable, battery efficient and smooth. I'm only running GB cause I love flashing roms but for the average user (I'm assuming your wife won't be flashing or doing anythink serious) Stock is always the bettter option.if you want more speed just flash preshoots kernel for her and overclock it. Trust me nothing better

EDIT: I wouldn't recomend Cyanogen because you have to tweek it a lot to get good battery life.Personal experience

Hello

My Desire is gets stuck on HTC bootlogo screen when trying to startup.

I had USB debugging disabled so Unrevoked doenst work.

I'm now searching for the right RUU file for my phone. Because I can't boot my phone, I'm not sure about the software version... (I remembered the radio version by heart: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27)

But I found a file on my SD card, it was the first ROM ever installed on my phone. The filename is: "ns160311-2147-2.29.405.2-update-desire-stock-kitchen-unsigned-MD5-27f95c98b078b357770c47340ab9253c"

So might it be possible that my software version was 2.29.405.2 ?

So I tried the according RUU file from shipped-roms.com, but the file is corrupt. Which other RUU files would be suitable for my phone? I have an unbranded phone, so I think I need WWE release?

Also, the latest ROM I had running on my Desire was LeeDroid 2.3d

Grtz
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Going by that radio, this is what you want:

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH

Assuming you've always had that radio since rooting
[Desire General] swimon:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I bought my phone second hand, previous owner put a rooted stock rom on the phone for me (the one I quoted in my first post)

Then I put Leedroid 2.3d on there.

Both ROMs had Radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, so I'll be safe right?

What does the software number mean? Is it not a problem that I'm going from 2.29.405.2 to 2.29.405.5 ?

Edit: I just read the Leedroid 2.3d thread, It seems that Leedroid 2.3d also uses 2.29.405.5, I'm just curious what this means? Is it important to have the same software version when flashing a RUU? Because I thought the purpose of doing the RUU was to install a new software, so it shouldn't matter which version I'm flashing? (sorry for my confusing English :D)

Thanks again.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
2.29.405.5 is the latest WWE ROM so you're fine, worst case is it won't install due to CID error but at least you'd know you're on a branded handset
[Desire General] swimon:
Thanks again,

also the RUU installers prompts me to connect the USB cable and turn on my phone. Obviously my phone can't be turned on (that's the whole problem :D).

Should I put it in HBOOT Bootloader?

or should I boot it in Recovery (I have "Android system recovery <2e>", not ClockWorkMod Recovery)?

or should I just power it on to the HTC Logo where it gets stuck?

I think I have the right drivers already on my PC, I did the install/uninstall of HTC Sense.

Grtz
[Desire General] swimon:
Thanks EddyOS, it worked, I'm back on stock ROM now, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction

(btw, to answer my last question myself: I just turned on the phone and let it boot to where it got stuck, and than I ran the RUU and the phone got recognized)

Thanks again, Grtz!

I am toying with an idea of using a cheap and chearful android tablet as a car pc. To achieve what I want though I would require linux (ubuntu) running on it not android.

I have been searching around but I couldn't find any non-specific information on booting linux from android. I was wondering if anything similar to HaReT for WinMo exists for android?
