asop kernels work for roms like cm7, redux, ginervillian etc. senmse kernels work for sense roms like leedroid 2.2. rcsmixhd is a 2.3.3 gingersense rom which needs a gingersense kernel. so far, there is only the leaked gingersense kernel. thats it thats all. youll have 2 wait until the official kernel source code is released b4 they can creaate custom overclocked undervolted kernels
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inodder:
Sorry to interfear in Ts's topic, but i thought my question is somewhat realated.

Are the kernals included in the roms. or do you have to flash a apropriat kernal yourselve?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inodder:
Same question goes for radio and i flashed a wifi N thingy my previous rom advised. do i have to undo those things before installing a new rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
lnodder: custom ROMs include kernels already, but you always have the option of flashing a differenet kernel. Be careful to distinguish what kind of kernel you're flashing vis-a-vis what ROM you have (Sense, non-Sense, etc)

Radios by and large don't need to be flashed/reflashed if they're working fine. Flashing radios improperly is one of the biggest causes of bricked cellphones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inodder:
Okay thnx for the info.

But in case of an update from froyo to gingerbread. you do need to update the radio?

At least here the dev. states "Requirement:

Latest Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08"

Hey

So got myself a nexus S in Canada, hands down the best Android experience :)

So anyeone know if a mod exists for name display to work.?

Rogers has it working with there android phones but it doesn't seem to work on nexus s. I know not too many providers have this feature, but name display helps alot when screening calls.

Anyone know how to get it to work on nexus s?

Thanks

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
It probably won't be a simple file mod, but rather a customized firmware. It would be nice to see v2.3.4 with name display in it, as I like having it working, but it's not essential to me. I want a solid phone first, so I'd give up name display for that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
Caller id? i am on rogers with a nexus s and can see who is calling me to screen calls. Check your call settings perhaps you disabled it. Or maybe rogers is denying you the service (do you have it on your plan?).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfksc:
No he's talking about "name display" service which shows the name and number of inbound calls even if they're not in your contacts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
I can indeed see numbers of people who are not in my contact list. Names are a different matter, but i could not see them on my G1 either.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Name display (which is a service that shows you the NAME of a person calling, as well as the number, of numbers not in your contact list requires custom, i.e., Rogers, firmware. However, back in the WM6 days, all we had to do is switch up one file in a stock ROM with one from a Rogers ROM, and it worked fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0z3n:
Maybe a captivate file will work but I don't have a idea what to look for.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It probably would. I had used a file from an HTC touch diamond in an HTC touch pro and it worked fine. For wm6, the file was rilphone.dll. not sure which file it is for android, but I would assume that "ril" would be in the name somewhere.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I would suggest looking at all the files with "ril" in the name in both a rogers branded captivate rom and an unbranded captivate rom, and see if there is any difference. The one that is different is prob the one you need.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmcquake:
Are you paying for Caller ID? I had this problem with my Nexus One on Rogers. I couldn't get name display to work no matter what I tried. Once I started paying for Roger's caller i.d. then the name display on the phone worked.

I couldn't figure it out. Hopefully you have better luck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skorchir:
Yes im pretty sure i should call and check but it worked when i was using my Captivate as soon as i switched phones to nexus s it hasnt worked. Didnt change plans just swapped sims.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Don't think you are talking about name display. There is a difference between name display and caller id. Name display is a service provided by Rogers that displays the name of numbers that are NOT in your contact list. It costs an additional $2/month over and above the charge for caller id. So far (at least to my knowledge), no one has been able to get it to work on an HTC Android device...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkster:
Hey guys, i updated my CM7 from RC2 to final some days ago and i started to notice some strange behaivour.

I started getting the black screen during calls problem so i went back to RC2 but still happening.

So i installed Sensor Test from market and i can see that the light and proximity sensors are not working for some reason. The rest of the sensors have numbers changing but not the light or proximity.

This is not my first time flashing a rom and i did all the proper steps and wipes, now no matter to which rom i go cant see the sensors working.

Any idea??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzC:
I'm having the exact same issue. I flashed CM7 Final nearly the same time I replaced my digitizer so I thought it I messed up my install somehow but maybe it's actually software related.:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkster:
my workaround for the moment so i dont get the black screen of death is hexedit /system/lib/hw/sensors.mahimahi.so and change /dev/cm3602 to something else.

That way the sensor is disabled and i can talk normally and then return to homescreen without having to remove the battery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkster:
i found quite a few ppl with this problem, there isnt any official statement about this issue from cyanogen right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitamarr:
i have the same problem

What can i do?

I'm with nightly 51
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROM_Guest:
I have done the hex edit hack on /system/lib/hw/sensors.mahimahi.so, and that did turn off the proximity sensor. However changing the line /dev/cm3602 to /eev/cm3602 to turn off the proximity sensor, but this also turns off the accelerometer. No landscape view switch on 90 degree turns. (I'm guessing losing this functionality would also affect Navigation if i tried it).

I also went back to stock 2.2, and did the OTA to 2.3.4 from an old nandroid backup. The problem of the screen going off during a call (as others have described above), still occurs. Starting to think its a hardware problem.

I have tried the following apps to turn the proximity sensor off, or, lock the screen on in phone calls - to no avail:

- Screen Suite

- Todds Droid Tools

- Screebl

- Flip it!

I made 2 folders on my SD Card for sensors.mahimahi.so.

/Sensors switch/sensors.mahimahi.so (contains the hex edited on that turns off Prox)

/Sensors original/sensors.mahimahi.so

My thinking was I could copy/paste the files into system/lib/hw depending on the day and my needs. Eg.: If I need to do a lot of phone calls that day requiring dialpad on, or even check my voicemail. However reverting back to the original file still keeps the phone's proximity sensor and accelerometer off'd, even after rebooting. A Nandroid backup is all that will restore this functionality. Hence that approach will not work.

NEways, at this point I'm thinking of doing an HTC repair. I want to know if they will still be able to provide me an N1 (credit card hold on charge...how much?...do they even have N1s?), while sending this one in for repair.

Incidentally, I don't think I will qualify for warranty as this phone has previous water damage. I replaced the screen because of it with an ebay one, but the prox sensor worked for a long time after that.

In general, I'm not sure if a $$ repair is worth it, but on the other hand I just bought a $500 phone in the N1 less than 6 months ago.

What to do...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROM_Guest:
bump.

What would you guys do? in this situation?

its too good a phone to just sell, even if it just does web/tethering/low profile/android apps awesome.

(i can always switch /sensors.mahimahi.so filez on the fly, worst case scenario. with nandroid restores in between(saving refurb monies)).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROM_Guest:
nm,

ghetto Romguest 2005 fix:

(hope this helps someone googling same said problem. which i've heard appears on faulty proximity sensors on Droid_1s, and Nexus'ses)

2 Nandroid backups:

1. With the original sensor file of system/lib/hw (in an SD card folder)

2. with the hex edited sensor lib/hw (in an SD card folder number 2)

Copy both respectively into your current rom, and nandroid both respectively into two nandroid versions.

On the days you need touchpad/dialpad, restore 2.

On the days you need landscape/gps/accelerometer, restore 1.

Problem solved, if no hardware warranty options available like me.

$190 saved.

Priceless..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROM_Guest:
PROGRESS ON THIS THING! :))

Ok, so the last time I left this thread i was at the point of sending the phone in for an RMA. The reason I'm writing on this thread is in case someone on an android phone comes up with the Proximity sensor issue ( and it seems a lot of droid devices have this bug, whether its a hw failure like mine on the sensor, or not) ... then at least this thread will be here for the body of knowledge.

So just to summarize:

- hacking the sensor file mentioned above will disable the proximity sensor from working.

- having two nandroids of the proximity file (hacked and normal), will allow you to switch between normal phone (where the screen blanks), and proximity hacked phone (where the screen stays on in call, but never landscapes).

Is there an APK app to manually switch from Landscape to Portrait? Nope... there is code for it that devs can use to force their programs to run in a certain way, but not an on the fly solution.

'Screen Lock' , a program that comes closest simply locks the phone into Portrait.

What if you want to view a web page sideways then? Do you have to nandroid restore the original OS before the hack?

I just found out you don't. I ran Asphalt to see if it would run in portrait or landscape, and it ran in landscape surprisingly. So the portrait locked fone can be tricked in to landscape. woot

On exiting Asphalt, it keeps the phone in landscape :)

Goto web browser...browse all u want.

Want it back to portrait?

Go to Phone dialer, and it forces portrait. On exit, of fone, your home screen goes back to portrait.

Does proximity sensor off affect the GPS positioning? I'm not sure, it might - have to test.

Does the proximity sensor disabled, mean the accelerometer still works? No, the accelerometer doesnt work in this mode. ;P cant play Asphalt.

Why don't i just warranty my phone? ...I might. Its just that HTC doesnt send out replacement N1s anymore for the warranty period (with a Credit card debit), AND, my ASDF provider, :D doesn't give out loaners.

Hope this helps out anyone in the meantime!

Hope my GPS still works :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROM_Guest:
UPDATE: Moving to a new phone.....

UPDATE:

So I decided to fold on my software fixes, and went for the Warranty route. Unfortunately HTC couldnt do the warranty themselves, and forwarded me to my Carriers reseller (not the private store I bought the phone from, but the Corporation who bought N1s in bulk from HTC, and sold them to my Carrier), which turned to be a one room office with a personal voicemail machine....

So I went to my Carriers corporate store, as they said they'd do the warranty. The CSR said that he's had people waiting >1 month for Nexus One replacements, with no idea what they'd replace it with. I would have to buy a phone too to use in the interim because they had not loaners.

His guess was that if the warranty might be accepted (mine may have not been a warranty cover because I changed the LCD once and stuff), I might get a Nexus S, or the next HTC phone they offered. All guesses, and all with a month long wait time with no smartphone, and $100 out for a secondary phone...in the interim.

So last night I tried a fix that worked for some Droid owners failed proximity sensor. It involves a rubber grommet set in place between the screen and the sensor, to let it "see" properly again.

No go. As well, my Camera and LED no longer work. (from before the fix attempt btw). Go figure.

So I folded, and bought the next best option for my Carrier, and AWS HTC Mytouch 4g. I decided to forgo Ebay, and buy off newegg, b/c there is some ambiguity into the quality of SLCD and Eeprom (?) chip you may get, so at least Newegg has great service.

I tossed around the idea of selling my N1 last night, but I won't. First too much hassle explaining to a buyer all these issues, and getting a worthy price. They could just Paypal revoke their payment when they get as pissed off with my particular fones lack of function as well.

I'm really going to miss the form factor of the N1 the most, and already am. I think I may wifi tether it to the Mytouch, and use it with Google voice or something.

Anyways, that is the end of my story. Wished I could keep the N1. Even tossed up buying a used N1 off ebay, for the form factor and hacking alone.

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Not all kernels work for all ROM's. Some are made up for Froyo, and some for Gingerbread. I read the OP and I did not see any restrictions, so it is probably fine for 2.2 and 2.3. Also, make sure the kernel is for your phone. You cannot use a kernel made for another phone. Make a nandroid backup before you flash.

Edit: I just saw you have a desire and the phone was from the desire forum...soooo you should be good..but like I said, you should make a backup before flashing anything.

I'm currently running the COS-DS 2.3.3 ROM with the latest BiffMod 2.2.1 Kernel. It works better than the kernel, which comes with COS-DS, but not every kernel will work with every rom. It also depends on your phones hardware.

hi im new to the forum and have a quick question. i just flashed viperrom 5.0 yesterday and everything worked great and really like the rom. only problem is when i shut down the phone and restart it i loose all apps including the market. ive tried reflashing it again and its doing the same thing. this is the only issue im experiencing so far. thanks!
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Are you pulling the battery to shut the phone down? i think Journaling is turned off which can cause data loss.
[Epic 4G General] mk4cam:
no just turned it off no battery pull. i also noticed that when i restarted the phone usb debugging came back on. is this normal? how would i solve the journaling issue? i just flashed back to eb13 for now and its working alright. sorry im fairly new to flashing roms so bare with me:)
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Not not normal. I would re download all files and flash again, with starting with Fresh EC05 with ODIN.
[Epic 4G General] mk4cam:
i cant use odin cause im on linux so i have to flash through cwm everytime. but i did switch to ec05 today. i did notice that when i flashed viperrom one last time i restarted the phone before sync'ing with gmail and it kept the market upon restart. but when i synced gmail and restart i lost the apps including the market again. thats when i got real confused so i went to ec05.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
in case it's caused by journaling being turned off, here's what I would suggest:

1) get the ROM installed (like you did previously)

2) get your apps downloaded and installed (as you did previously)

3) DON'T restart the phone yet....

4) after getting all your settings/apps setup

5) boot into clockwork mod and do a complete backup.

6) after making a backup, boot the phone. .if it's missing stuff.. don't worry..

7) boot back into clockwork mod and do a restore. Restore system/data, etc..

by doing a nandroid restore (step 7) you will enable journaling.. now when your phone boots back up, you'll have all your settings in place.. and you shouldn't lose them after a re-start (check it and see)

Hope this helps (if it does, hit thanks :) )
[Epic 4G General] mikey80021:
Journaling is on in the viper rom, but making a backup in cwm after you get it set up is a good idea. Also using an app backup, such as titanium, will let you restore your apps while on if you notice them missing.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
i wasn't sure about Viper.. I use ACS and journaling is off by default but I like the piece of mind from journaling so I got all set up, did a backup, then restore LOL..

tomato tomatoe :)
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Step 7 above is not a good way to turn on journaling. I've seen instances where some partitions have it and some don't. Best just to get a rom that has journaling on in the first place. Please also keep in mind that with journaling on it really slows down your system. You might not notice it now, but if you have been used to running ext4 for a while it will seem like molasses some how got in your phone.

Sent from Bonsai 7.0.3
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
not to start a debate, but all the posts/advice that I've seen in the fora here have suggested that doing a restore will enable journaling..

I am currently running a nandroid restore and have been running the same for the last 2 weeks and I have no molasses :) Although, running ACS, maybe my phone is too "frozen" for the molasses to run out hahaha :D

YMMV..
