Actually, you are talking bull****. :) It installs, backs up, restores fine. Check the mount in CM7 after a restore - it's EXT4, and that was after I did a system format before my restore. That's what matters.

Most of these other recoveries floating around fail flashing cm for whatever reason. If your recovery fails to flash this cm image with a good md5sum, then the recovery is crap, period.

The recovery I linked does what it is supposed to do, and it works with CM7.

you are the second report of this.

what carrier do you have?

can you please post a logcat of your startup at pastebin.com?
[HTC Incredible S] TiM3SH1FT:
Thanks everyone for releasing CM7, it is the best ROM so far IMO. However there is one feature that would be nice to be added and it is SRS enhancement.

Even in PowerAMP, choosing SRS or Dolby Mobile has no effect on the sound...

Please add this feature, thank you! :)

[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
those are the only two things I find good in sense, the rest IMO is bloatware.
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
I think the dialer is built using the sense framework, so it won't work without it.

As far as facebook integration, I'm not entirely sure. But it's pretty far nested into HTC's roms.

Wouldn't be something you could install as a simple .apk.

Did you try to search for some dialers in the market?

Maybe there are some skinnable available to download.

Cheers,

[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
No I'm not! ;)

That is a completely wrong assumption, because:

1. ANY ext4 rom, will mount ext3 partitions as "ext4"

2. ext4 is backwards compatible to ext3, meaning you can mount ext3 partitions ext4

3. To test that, mount your partition inside recovery..

4. recovery will mount them ext3, you'll see.

4. ONLY if mounting your partition -t ext3 fails, it is formatted with extents (ext4)

Who told you that my recovery doesn't flash CM7?

That's not the case..

It flashes it perfectly.

The reason why cm7 doesn't flash on some recoveries, is because build.props are all set to incs instead of vivo in other recoveries.. (in official clockworkmod recovery it at least WAS incs last time I checked)

And you are checking for vivo..

4extrecovery flashes both incs AND vivo..

Boot into recovery and mount your partitions (after you did a restore or wipe or whatever)... you will see it's mounted ext3

Only because cm7's init.vivo.rc mounts all the partitions ext4 doesn't mean that they are formatted ext4 ;)

Edit: this works everytime:

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system wait ro barrier=1

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 /devlog wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1

And the following will work too, but only after you have used "your" recovery to restore a backup

mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system wait ro barrier=1

mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1 noauto_da_alloc

mount ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev barrier=1

[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
LOL you made my night, can't sleep
[HTC Incredible S] attn1:
No one told me that your particular recovery didn't flash cm7. I was responding to complaints that some recovery or another was failing on asserts - and has nothing to do with filesystems.

I am quite sure your recovery is fine; but there are a lot of them out there that are not, including the one ROM Manager is currently flashing.

Yes, I realize that CWM formats system ext3 on restore - and it's fine. CM7 will mount it as ext4, and really, nothing practical is lost. System is a static, relatively small filesystem that wont benefit by extent one iota. Obsessing on ext4 formats for system is absolutely pointless.

"My" recovery is not mine - it was built by the cm build process that builds the most current version of CWM when CM is built. So "MY" recovery really CWM, and it's genuine, authentic and fully functional. It's what is part of the CM project, and therefore what I recommend and support.

Of course users are free to use whatever recovery they choose to use, but when it fails, I am not going to spend a minute supporting brandX, I am going to point them to a CM/CWM build that I know works right.

You are absolutely free to submit changes to CM's gerrit code review for approval and integration into CWM. But bear mind that these changes have to work for a great number of devices, and that changes have to be made so that things aren't breaking on devices that have different needs.

If you choose not to submit your changes, then you can't complain about CWM.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Yes we just talked about that on irc.. you might be right.. but without proper benchmarks we can only guess.

I know, that's why I used ""

I'm also building using cm repo. Just modifying the cwm source

I will submit them, but to make it clear: I never complained about CWM. Quite the opposite is true as I have the biggest respect of its code (stated on top of 1st post in my thread too).

But people who want to keep their ext4 partitions -be it reasonable or not- should know about that. That's why I posted!

Edit: BTW: even if the modifications I did will never work on any device, this mod still has its purpose: For the IS and the DS. I don't think everything must get approved by gerrit to be useful.
[HTC Incredible S] attn1:
Aye, we did talk about this but we need to let people know we are not as far apart on this as it may seem.

I don't think any benchmark is going to show a practical difference between system formatted ext3 vs ext4 in this kind of application, but whatever - it is what it is.

I think most people who are worried about ext4 formatting are like so-called "audiophiles" who have rarely ever heard live music (to know what it should sound like) and decide what loudspeakers sound best by reading specs and advertisements in magazines.

Sometimes, implementing "specs" just isn't important enough to prioritize them over other work impacting function more. Can things be improved? Always. That's where guys like you come in who can add to the project and enhance it with well thought out code change submissions.

The bottom line to the whole recovery thread (within this thread) is that if a user's md5 is fine on the sdcard and his recovery is producing assert errors trying to flash a known good build, that user is sitting on problem recovery and needs to install something that works.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Very good comparison :)

That's to be seen.. cm7 is really, really big.. submitting code that was, up until I started making it more dynamic that it will work on the bravo too, extremely device centric, wouldn't make sense at all.. would/will take lots of work to have something that MIGHT be useful / ready to submit.. anyhow I will at least publish the source somewhere.. wouldn't be fair otherwise I guess.

Understood :)

Does anyone know how to overclock?

I can set the parameters, but it's not doing anything.

I use CPU Gauge to check the speed and overclock widget.

CPU Gauge is showing 1009.58 MHz max and overclock widget is showing what I set it to.

I'm guessing overclock widget is wrong?

edit: I did some benchmarks. With CPU set to 1516 MHz I got over 3000 in quadrant, where with 1024 MHz I would get about 2400.

So overclocking is working fine, Overclock Widget is working fine.

CPU Gauge was giving false results.

great work to all the CM folk.. it's always great to see how much bloat sneaks along with Sense! 250mb vs 87mb update.zip is quite a difference. I've had 2 main issues with the ROM... will get logcats later today but wondering where i should put them? in the CM pastebin?

Issues:

1. Camera: Lack of touch to focus, whether by design or a bug. I would like to see this in future builds.

Workaround: this kinda helps... under advanced settings, checking the "pre-Focus" box at least focuses the centre of the image.

2. Buttons: Not rotating... as discussed previously this is due to proprietary HTC drivers.. not a bug as such.. but still would be a nice to have

Workaround: install a sense rom :)

3. Flash: I've noticed that flash content does not play properly.. by that i mean i get the sound, but am unable to see any visual content, this is not the case with any other videos. Tried it on a few websites: the escapist, engadget, hardocp, bbc.

Still love the rom though :)
[HTC Incredible S] nintendolinky:
So it there any nightlies for this rom yet.
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
thanks for issues

will the rotating buttons work eventually? i mean is it simply not possible for them to work because theres no sense in the rom? its one of my favourite features of the phone :(

what about the rose coloured tint in the photos? can this be fixed? or was the person who highlighted it just a one off?

thanks

Strange request...I know but...

Would it be possible, well yes, but would anyone else like to see a sense 3.0 style lock screen on cm7?

I love cm7, from my nexus one, and it is pretty much a must for my future android phones to be supported by cyanogenmod. But after using android revolution hd with sense 3.0 features on my IS, I find myself holding off on cm7 for stable release purely because of sense 3.0 lock screen

So...anyone else interested in this?

Sorry for off topic in dev thread

Great work on porting cm7 to IS by the way, very happy to have it coming

Shure?

It only happens while it is plugged with the headphone jack.

I'm talking in my car, plugged into the Aux jack of the radio and noone can understand, what I say.

This problem exist within the Sense FroYo Rom. HTC has fixed it in the Gingerbread ROM.

It was on Nexus One ROMs, too. There you can disable the noise cancellation in the build.prop.

Please, you can try it.

Plug your phone to an audio jack and speak through the microphone of the IncredibleS. The IncS gets your voice as noice and filter it out.

[HTC Incredible S] P.Pan:
First of all I would like to thank you for this great ROM!:cool:

I am very happy, that there is now a ROM apart from the Sense Stock ROMS!!!

In general everything works very good and fast for me, and for the battery usage it is the best performance I had so far - from first sight (I already tried Revolution ROM and Virtuous ROM)

I can also assume, that the parameters I get in Battery Usage are completely different than in all other ROMs.

Display is listed at the 5th position, with 10% using the display 4h55min.

I don't know if that is correct as with other ROMs it has always taken 1rst position, especially with such intensive usage.

I found some bugs and some things that might be worth to improve:

1. most important (for me) is sound improvement for headphone. The SRS Enhancement of PowerAmp is not working - the same for DSP Manager.

(it was mentioned already by someone else)

2. The widgets losses part of their function. For example the PowerAmp widget works for starting the music but is not displaying than the Pause button instead of play button.

The same happened for BeyonPod widget and AudioManager does not display the changes made in the widget.

They work fine for some time after deleting from homescreen and placing it again. Then they "freeze" again.

3. UKW-Radio: I can't adjust stations with a frequency .0 for example 88.0 is not possible to adjust. Not by scroling the wheel neither by typing with softkeyboard. As I use the radio every morning and my favourite station is located there (88.0) it is quite annoying for me.

4. The camera works fine...but the quality of the photos is not good as in other ROMs. The best performance got the Virtuous ROM. The results are really amazing and gives you a idea who good smartphone photos can be.

I have to admit that the size of the photos is around double, so may be it is just the way of the compression.

5. The already known bug with the torch - which does not bother me, as the torch works fine as long as it is not super-bright.

6. Widgets disapear from lockscreen (widget Locker) after restart (not always - but happened twice already)

Pls. keep up your fantastic work!!!:D

I am already very curious to the next release.

Cheers!

Hi,

Last night I tried CM7 on my Incredible S with RADIO 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M. It's amazingly smooth and fast, but there is one bug that's kind of serious I'd like to report.

When I added the flashlight widget onto Homescreen and used it to turn on the flashlight, the whole screen turned black. I mean, not the kind of black when the screen is turned off, but like when the screen is displaying a black background. I can operate the phone though the screen is displaying nothing. I rebooted the phone, and although the booting process is all right, the screen goes black the moment the phone boots into the system.

Could anyone please fix it? After this it will be a great ROM.

BTW, would you mind telling other developers how you made the hardware backlight work while keeping CRT animation? It would be so great if we can get them both working on Sense ROMs too. What you guys did was absolutely stunning!

Thanks for your awesome work!
