how do i change my mobile hostname in this rom? it is showing something like android_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I've tried scripts and changing files. none worked...

[EDIT]

got it to work using this script:

#!/system/bin/sh
#change devName to whatever you want.
devName=NAME_YOU_WANT
devHostPath=$(which hostname)
devGetPath=$(which getprop)
devSetPath=$(which setprop)

if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
if [ "$devHostPath" != "which hostname" ]
then
$devHostPath $devName
fi
$devSetPath net.hostname $devName
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
else
echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
fi
fi

and the app Script Manager applying script to boot

[EDIT]

if the phone reconnects the hostname resets:mad::mad::mad:

Swipe to Clear Notifications addon..

Hey Sergio.....It would be gr8 if you could provide flashable zip addon for Swipe to Clear Notifications....One more observation would like to share that contact image is not appearing for whatapp contact.Is their any workaround for same.

Love you work as always:)
[HTC Desire S] talktoraj83:
Anyone can help me out with the abivr query...
[HTC Desire S] talktoraj83:
At least intimate if its possible or not....

Striked from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] :
Do you mean port the ICS swipe to clear into GB? Not even sure if that is possible.

Plus I think the Whatsapp contact picture problem is related to the app, as my wife has the same problem on her Sony Ericsson phone, and a few friends have it on the SGS2. Please e-mail the Whatsapp dev for a fix.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Swipe to remove a notification is also a cyanogen 7 feature, has been there before the first ics came up afaik ;)

Did anyone encounter signal problem in this Rom coz i m facing....is there any work around for same.I m using rapier governance with wake&sleep - 1075/255-max/min.

Please some one reply
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
I don't understand why do you use rapier governance.

What kernel do you use?
[HTC Desire S] talktoraj83:
Endymion v2.1...everything other network is working very smooth.Is there a problem
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
is it possible to customize this rom? all i want is to remove a few apps from system and add anothers...

i've also added and edited a lot of missing characters of a font thats its available via the coredroid tweaks app. do you want me to post it here so you can update it?
[HTC Desire S] :
You are welcome to play around with the contents of the ROM zip system/apps as you see fit prior to flashing, just can't promise what will happen if you remove essential apps.

Feel free to have a go. :)
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
so all i have to do is to open the CoreDroid_MULTI_DEVICE_Sense_3.5_8.3.12_RV.zip\system\app, remove what i dont want and put there what i want? is there a folder limit size? cause i dont know is these apps go into data partition or system...
[HTC Desire S] :
Yes that's all you need to do. Again, can't vouch for which are safe to remove. You'll have to do some trial and error there.

Any apk put in the system/app folder should go into the system partition. To find out what size partitions you have, if you are using the latest CWM it should tell you what partition sizes you have for system, data, etc in there. Sorry I do not have my DS to hand so I can't check for you.

Make sure to nandroid backup before experimenting!
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
i do a nandroid backup every weekend just in case. i have an exam this weekend so i wont be dooing that know, only after the exam. ill give a try and post here the results. and according to 4ext, if i remember, i have 88mb free on sytem partition. so if i still remove some apps and add anothers, 88mb is enough i think.

other thing. if i want to write some files to sdcard when we flash the rom. is it possible? how do i do it?
[HTC Desire S] :
In 4ext there is an option to mount usb storage if that is what you mean? Otherwise all apks need to be in the zip prior to it being moved to the phone for flashing.
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
no. what i meant is if its possible for the rom to write to sdcard on 1st start or something... like creating a folder named extras in sdcard after u flash the rom...
[HTC Desire S] :
Quite possibly, but not sure how you'd do it.
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
can i backup apps using titanium backup and after the rom reflash do a restore so the data from apps are kept? like for games, if i dont want to lose the saves/scores...
[HTC Desire S] :
Yep. That is the beauty of titanium backup.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
It's all benefit of Titanium Backup.

You have two versions: A free and a paid.

I recommend strongly the paid version has only benefits.

I use it since 2010
[HTC Desire S] PlayGhost2:
just to update you guys, if u were curious... i did what i wanted but it didnt go well as i expected. the i removed and were just fine. but when i tried to restore setting using titanium (sms, wireless passwords, etc...) it didnt work. so i did a full restore i started to change the /system on the fly.

so far these are mt changes

Patch for the LordClock kernel only for DS

THIS PATCH CONCERN ONLY DESIRE S

Here's a patch that should resolve the LordClock kernel bug (lot of freeze due at the value 1.7mHz, which is high at the boot)

I have tested on my DS before, and it works well.

To do this, you need to flash the zip file via your recovery and reboot your DS.

[HTC Desire S] lippylion:
Really impressed

Just to say that I have flashed this ROM and looks really impressive with the CD tweaks and also the included theme, blue is the colour of choice (mine anyway).

Will test over the next few days and see if I have any problems, looking at the forum don't expect any hopefully. After flashing no problems at all and replaced data was easy with Titanium backup.

Keep up the good work, but please don't leave us with older phones get left behind.:)

Guys, for an explenation of what is going on with Coredroid - One X - especially. Head over to our site & read the article that was just posted. Be sure to share it on facebook & Twitter to get this message out there ok.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I am 100% with you and your team on this. While I do respect all the work that j4n87 has put into his awesome tweaks, I hate the fact that he isn't allowing others to use it. Isn't that what android is all about, open source? And kanging is one thing (which he may not allow if he doesn't want to, it's his code) but stealing ideas, especially when someone codes them from scratch?? That's just ridiculous. I hope your thread is restored, and someone can "port" YOUR tweaks on to the Desire S :)

Bro I assure you, when this is all said & done our suite tools WILL be open source & ready for anyone who chooses to use them. I can't even begin to tell you the ammount of pm's myself, Sergio, & other team members recieve on a daily basis about people wanting to port our Rom, skin, ideas etc. And the answer is always YES. Use as you want. Because at one time xda was a place where we could all share our ideas, parts & components to make the wonderful roms & ports we all love. But now its all about who has the coolest stuff & if I have it, you can't etc. This is why we see great devs like capy, & qlick leaving xda, guys refusing to dev here because its just way to much stress & bs to put up with. Hopefully xda can return to the way it was, the xda we all loved.

Sorry for the off topic. But. Had to get that off my chest :D

hi.............using coredroid from day 1 ...recently updated it 2 the newer version..........and there r lots of sudden boot up.............can u help plz
[HTC Desire S] :
hi there! Can you please check what the max cpu speed has defaulted to? If it has set itself to the max I recommend turning it down. Not every phone is stable at these speeds. Let me know if this doesn't fix it.
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
As of November 7th CoreDroid officially moved all its support to another site.

Due to repeated kanging from other Roms as well as needing CST paid version to obtain the latest version of the Rom, anything related to the CoreDroid team is not allowed to be posted anymore on XDA and is from now on considered warez.

This includes: Signatures, links, themes, as well as any work developed by the CD team or included in any Rom.

TL;dr: If you included anything from CD in your work, you have to remove it.

We appreciate your understanding on the matter in hand,

[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Looks like boot is not Ext4 partition, from what I've pieced together, it' RAW partition so it should not be formatted...that may be the reason this didn't work unless the kernel installed...

it can be then installed from RAW image like this:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22");

Can't Install ROM

Hi,

Thanks for the good work, and i know you have heard this before but..

I also cant get the rom to work, it does allways install well, i get the coredroid message at the end, but afterwards it stays hanging on the first boot image for ever (waited for 1 hr)

Tried wiping all i can find in recovery before installing :no diffference

I've tried to carry out the advise from marylandcookie & dutchdanny as well as possible, but the kernel does never install; i get errors.

Tried also coming from stockrom, and doing the above: no difference

Tried the correct format utility tool advised by mlc: the tool works well, after that installed rom; (coredroid mesage appears:OK) but again it hangs up on the boot.
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Great ROM, successful install from first shot :)!

To make the long story short:

- from brand new, out-of-the-box stock Desire S, find a friend with XTC Clip...:).

- gingerbreak v1.2

- busybox, rommanager, rootcheck...

- copy on SDcard: CoreDroid EXT4 Fromat utility, Kernel MDJ's_V2_2.6.35.13, CoreDroid_Desire_S_GB_2.3.3_v1.0_RV, PG88IMG-NEW-RADIO-20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.28.

- reboot in recovery, flash radio (rename-it to PG88IMG.zip), reboot phone.

- reboot in recovery, wipe all (check also in advanced settings)

- flash CoreDroid EXT4 Fromat utility

- flash ROM - CoreDroid_Desire_S_GB_2.3.3_v1.0_RV

- flash kernel - MDJ's_V2_2.6.35.13

- reboot, wait for 10-15 min, and enjoy your new Coredroid ROM!!!

extra:

- "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager - it helps.

- wifi adhoc (use patch for v0.6)

- Android Commander

Hope it helps!
[HTC Desire S] Lacuna666:
hmm, so the only differnce is my kernel, i never could get that installed, maybe its broken, will re-download it, and try again, thanks..

after seining previous post did:

reloaded kernel this time from the 2nd site

wiped all by hand in recovery and also in advanced

flashed format tool ;OK

flashed rom : ok

flashed kernel ; OK !!! (for the first time)\

reboot

within 1 minute i already had the new bootloader and the rom running!

thanks !
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Have been using marylandcookie's port and this is indeed more stable and more languages etc love the eye candy over a plain old sense.

All works well apart from two issues dunno if I can call it bugs.

1. In call screen is very unresponsive, the screen wouldn't come on when taking it away from ear to activate like the dial pad or check something.

2. Clock and Light sensor issue on night clock wouldn't turn off the soft keys light where in stock it would de-activate the light sensor and only screen clock shown. As with night clock it doesn't stay on it would jump back to main clock screen after a while.

Edit: problem solved after performing permission fix in Rom manager.

Hope this can be fixed in next update and I think that the data wiping should be done manually rather than integrated to allow flexibility.

Thanks for the wonderful rom.

[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
That probably explains alot :D

Working fine here. When you did a system restore did you restore apps & data? As that can cause this issue. Also some people are using nand backups to restore their data, this is not advised unless the ROM's where the same with only a minor update.
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Totally fully wiped all partitions with factory reset and then individually again in mount option also wiped dalvik. All apps were redownloaded from market no restores. Have flashed mdj's kernel.

Might even point out camera has issues force closing when trying to use enhanced modes. Also Shooting at 5mp in landscape becomes distorted in gallery (shows thumbnails ok but viewing full picture is distorted) strangely ok shooting in portrait.

Edit: yeah disabling widescreen solved camera, just some scene modes and front camera not present, some apps do use it.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
We are aware of the camera issue, seems to be an issue with the sense 3.0 camera app. Disabling widescreen mode should fix most problems for now.

Cant see how your having an issue with the incall screen :confused:

I just checked mine and it works as it should.

Anyone else have this??
[HTC Desire S] nicky7166:
Flashed ROM, wait near 10 min. with HTC logo, than flashed kernel :)

But, No problem in MarylandCookie rom yet on the same basis
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Error: on "mail for exchange" when "search contacts in your Company Directory" I have an error: "Ooops, there was a problem with the network. Please try again". This error appears on all connections (mobile, wifi).

Edit: the problem described is located in Mail.apk. Installed Email.apk from CM7 and search is working.

Maybe this issue can be fixed.

[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
As long as you're S-OFF via XTC Clip, install gingerbreak v1.2.apk (check xda forums)

after reboot, you'll have superuser app on device.

after that you must install busybox (from market)

i use root checker (from market) to see that everything works.

then RomManager (from Market) - install clockworkmod from RomManager.

pull battery, reboot vol-down+power - choose "recovery" - now you're good to go :)!

Thank you very much! :D

My phone finally got the XTC Clip treatment yesterday afternoon at a local shop, I rooted it on the walk back to my car (had Gingerbreak 1.2 ready on my SD card!) and had this Rom up and running an hour later. Very nice work. I will be sending some beer tokens your way on payday.

So far after extensive fettling, no issues whatsoever. Loving the Sense 3.0 stuff.

Very much appreciated. Keep up the good work.
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
If you are already Coredroid rom 1.0, you can flash without any problems.

You must take just wipe dalvik cache and cache partition. Your settings and data has been preserved.

Except if you come from an another rom. YOU MUST MAKE A FULL WIPE BEFORE YOUR FLASH.

Flash news version Coredroid, and ~2mnn after (first reboot with new version), your DS is on Coredroid 1.1 (When it will be online very soon. A few more minor adjustments) ;)

Full day with this ROM and still no issues. Excellent work. Battery life is good, and I haven’t even flashed the recommended radio yet. Going to wait until I’m not playing around with the phone all the time (S-Off + Root is like new toy!) to get a good idea of battery life and take a view on flashing the radio then.

For those of you who are interested, I used the UOT Kitchen to cook the status bar mod you see here. Wanted a nice silver/grey monochrome look. (I’ve also changed the font as you can see.) The one included although good, was a little too bright for me and clashed with most of my skins and wallpapers. This one is a little more neutral.

If you like, download and flash!
