Looking for some help with this:

I have a LeeDroid rom and I want to switch to Cyanogen 7. However, on the LeeDroid rom, I bought the premium navigation for HTC's Car Panel. If I were to switch roms to Cyanogen, will I have to repurchase it?

Also, when switching roms, do I just follow the last few steps of the newb guide?

Or is there something special I need to do?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Where did you buy it? Google Market? If yes, you can easily download it again since it is synced in your account.

When switching ROMs, I usually format all EXCEPT sdcard. (/data /sd-ext /sd-ext2, etc)

Of course, do a nandroid backup first just in case things get awry. But that's most unlikely.

Hi

I have a problem. After I had a corruptet sdcard, I installed cyanogenmod 7.1 on my desire (naturally after rebuilding boot sector and formating the card). I flashed cm r2 hboot, the newest radio, cm 7.1 and google apps. All went perfectly smooth so far. Then I tried to download an app and install it and suddenly my desire reboots. Happens also when I try to install an app from the sdcard. Any ideas? Additionally I have random reboots.
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Maybe your card is broken already. Try copying files on to your card via your pc and see if it sticks.
[Desire Android Development] Taiko0:
Resolved it by reformatting and repartitioning my sdcard. Now it works perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] romvahav:
hi all,

I have some problems with this rom:

1. while I charging the phone the led goes green and stop chareing when the battery level is 90%.

another problem with the battery is the pgone shutdown himself when the battery is on 20%.

what can I do ?
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
It doesn't stop charging at 90%. That's how cm7 works. When battery level reaches 90 led goes green and charges until 100. Then stops charging until it reaches 90 then it charges again.

As for your second concern, have you tried wiping battery stats?
[Desire Android Development] !@ndre@!:
Hi!

I have a noob question but I haven't understand it yet. Is it possible to install CM without using the cm hboot?
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Yes, a stock hboot will work just fine.
[Desire Android Development] !@ndre@!:
Thanks!

But is it possible to add A2SD+ after installing this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Sillik:
Yes, with the S2E app. You activate A2SD+ when you want. You need an ext partition on your SD when you do though...

Having a problem with incoming call notifications

I made new ringtone with the app Ringdroid and activated it, it worked for a while then I noticed my phone isnt ringing any more, just one vibrate when the call comes through then nothing!

I have tried everything I can think of like switching ringtones, reboots, wiped data for Ringdroid, even done a complete wipe and reinstalled the ROM and restored apps and data using titanium backup, which worked for a while but as soon as I changed ringtone again the problem came back

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Is there data I can wipe in settings or titanium to reset ringtone settings to default?
[Desire Android Development] romvahav:
hi,

yes I wipe battery state several times to try calibrate the battery but it's still do this thing.

any other idea?

thanks a lot !
[Desire Android Development] Dr Byte:
Not wishing to be negative, but that isn't true any more. :)

The algorithm charges until BATFULL and then turns off charging and simply runs the phone off external power while it is still connected.

The orange light is changed to green at 90%, and remains green until unplugged.

The new battery driver is much kinder on the battery, by not doing that continual 90-100-90-100-90 sawtooth; it also means that when you unplug (an hour or more after the green light first goes on) that your battery will be at 99-100% rather than "anything over 89%" from the old algorithm.

I have no idea why the original Googlers and HTCers thought that was a good idea, when there was a way to turn off charging and keep running on external power. Maybe they had a vested interest in selling replacement batteries from the excess wear caused by charging at over 90%? :) :)
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Oh, didn't know this, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Dr Byte:
No, it doesn't. 90% is considered the minimum "full charge." Charging beyond this point pushes the battery chemistry a little harder, so for maximum life unplug anytime it's green - the first time you see it. For maximum charge, otoh, wait 50-90 minutes after the green light first comes on.

Your problems would be exactly the same on almost ANY ROM, apart from the above, where some chefs have coded the green threshold higher. 95% or 99%.

Run a battery calibration. 'Battery stats' really only affects the phone's reporting of how much charge you have left, based on mV and mAh reported by the battery.

If your battery is dying at 20%, it has probably aged to 80% capacity and is considered "worn out." You can try to revive it by calibrating it (see link below) and/or charging it from empty on a computer USB port a few times. The slow charge from empty should help settle the chemistry and revive it a bit.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765609

For optimal life, charge before dropping to 40%, don't charge while still above 90% (wait until it drops to 80% or lower), and occasionally do a "forming charge" at low current as above (using a computer USB port).

Time to order a new battery, methinks :)
[Desire Android Development] romvahav:
thank you for your whole comment!

I will try to celibrate in the way you gave me.

p.s.

the battery is new.. I bought her for 2 months ago =]
[Desire Android Development] digge:
Have had similar issues in the past, from what i recall ringtones saved on sd card is the problem. Once you have had your sd card unmounted due to connecting to computer or similar for a file transfer, for some reason it might choose a random of the stock ringtones or not ring at all.

If this is the case what will help is to push the ringtone to phone memory through adb or similar.

PS this was observed on older cyanogen but im guessing it still holds true?
[Desire Android Development] NoRmAlY_CrAzY:
Also file can be easily copied by root explorer or some FM like that which has acess to system.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
Was really doing my nut in so I done a complete wipe again and restored my apps without restoring any data.

Seems to have fixed it for now but if it happens again I will try copying my ringtones to system.

Not convinced that is the problem I had though as the vibrate also stopped working, I suspect it was some settings I had restored were somehow corrupting the notification.

Havent bothered reinstalling ringdroid for now if I feel the need to make a new ringtone in future I will install from the market rather than restoring from titanium.
[Desire Android Development] HwyXingFrog:
I can't get the gapps to install properly.

I install update-cm-7.1.0-Desire-signed.zip in ClockworkMod Recovery, then I install gapps-gb-2011-08-28-signed.zip in the same ClockworkMod Recovery session before reboot.

Whenever I boot into Android it doesn't ask me at all to activate my account or anything.

I even tried installing a com.android.vending-3.1.3.apk file separately once in Android, and the farthest I get is "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" as soon as I click "Yes" it exits the app.

I've also tried changing the language setting to English (US) and English (Canada).

I thought maybe something was messed up, so I even bought a new SD card. I decided to just try Oxygen a few weeks ago, but I miss Cyanogenmod so much.

Please Help!!!

Hi all! Before installing this ROM I have to wipe data/factory reset. Is it ok if I do not wipe Dalvik Cache? Will the ROM install anyway?
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
Full wipe CM7

Full wipe is required coming from another rom, i will recomend you to wipe Dalvik cache too :cool:

Hope it helps you :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
full wipe is always recommended :)

I always wipe also dalvik cache
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Thanks for your advice guys!
[Desire Android Development] Ruwin:
Thanks, but thats not a problem, i already have that apk installed. But the funny part is that i see my data partition is like 81% and the ext partition has 70% free space. I was wondering if that is not a problem. I thought that if the rom has apps2sd it will use only the ext partition and not the data partition. How is working for you guys? Do you have the data partition occupied like that?

Just as info, i use the S2E app to manage the script in CM, and i set both Applications and Dalvik Cache to go to the ext partition of the SD. Do you recommend other methods?

P.S. I have never used apps2sd scripts because they were buggy in the past, and now its like a new world for me, so sorry about this stupid questions (dont usually do that :P).

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Did you set application data to /SD-ext too?
[Desire Android Development] VK7HSE:
Have you added A2SD? and if so have you moved those apps to the SDcard? If you have then that's your issue ;)
[Desire Android Development] naguz:
As long as you don't move Application Data to sd too, they will still reside on the /data partition. Especially mail /w attachments can take up quite a bit of space. Also, every app uses SOME space on the /data partition, so the more apps, the more space used.

I'd suggest you don't move the app data unless you absolutely have to, because it is the mos prone to cause slowdowns. You will be better off flashing a HBOOT with a larger /data partition unless you have done that already. :)

I too love the stability of cm7 but I hated the delay upon answering a call, I'm currently using RevoloutioN 2.0 data++ and I love it, its stable and fast plus it also has sense 2.1/3.0 which I miss in cm7.

Hi

I just installed CM7, and i'm pretty pleased about the result!

However, I can't get my navigon (2.6.1) to work. I can install it, but when I try to open the program it crashes.

Anybody knows how to fix this?

Or anybody knows another free gps program?

[Desire Android Development] keibeel:
CM or other AOSP roms are faster than Sense, but you will be going through more bugs, and need more attention to read through here and tweak the roms to get things fixed. Sometimes this will end up getting you frustrated if you could not pay enough patience or if you needed your phone to make your living.

My current rom is CM but for 90% of my previous experiences stay in Sense (in fact they were custom Sense) which are more stable.

Having a rooted Android shall enjoy the fun of trying out different ROMs. Do nandroid backups and you are free to go! :)
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
This old version of navigon doesnt run under gingerbread roms. You need to update navigon, think above 3.5 it works. Google maps also has a free navigation uncluded, but without offline maps.
[Desire Android Development] muku_:
I just got curious and decided to try this rom to see the difference compared to sense roms. I have one question though. I saw the cyanogen wiki and read that it doesn't support saving apps to the ext partition of the SDCard. Only google's app2SD and a slightly tweaked version are available. Is this correct? Then how much space is left in the phone's internal memory for apps?
[Desire Android Development] c4p3fi3rr:
It happens to me too... Must be some sort of bug. It does happen rarely, though.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
By default yes, only Google's a2sd but you can put a script yourself or simply download Simple2Ext from the market and you'll have a2sd or even data2sd like in your sense roms!
[Desire Android Development] muku_:
thanks! I read people suggesting either darktremor or S2e. Which method would be better? The script or the app?
[Desire Android Development] eddie_gordo:
Actually in my case it isn't that rare, it happens quite often.. :(
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I use the app for months now without any problems. It's really easy, just chose the options, then reboot and it's done!
[Desire Android Development] muku_:
So I had a problem yesterday and restored the phone back to my sense rom. I flashed cyanogenmod, then flashed the darktremor script and then rebooted. Everything seemed fine but it wasn't. The Rom couldn't see my ext partition. I tried both A2SDGui which configures the darktremor script and S2e. Have you heard of a similar problem? I will flash CM again today and try to use s2e from the beginning instead of flashing the script. Maybe that caused a problem, dunno.
[Desire Android Development] keibeel:
I used 7.1.0 for about a week, came across an SD problem on the last two days and need to revert to my sense rom too.

Upon booting, the "preparing SD card" icon didn't go off, ADW FC when launching, and need to reboot for a few times to get a successful one. When I thought that it's back to normal, I noticed the rom has problem reading the SD card.

Since I'm using stock partition table I was using S2E. I selected data/apps and download cache to sd-ext only. I donno if S2E was causing the problem.

At the moment I returned to my custom sense rom everything is working normally. My experiences with CM since 7.0.3 till then weren't so good. What a pity! :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] eddie_gordo:
Although I have the options checked in settings, my Market isn't notifying me about app updates I have.. Neither it is auto updating the apps... I'm using Market 3.3.11, I guess it has been updated since when I flashed the ROM it was an older version... Is this happening to me only?

Thanks, regards..

Hi yeah flashed, then wiped cache & Dalvic rebooted, stuck in bootloop so then reflashed, wiped settings, cache and dalvic, got stuck again!!! Should i try a new kitchen mod again, all i have to do is select the kitchen list i take it? then i selected Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1 Desire Rom would this be correct???:confused:
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
I would suggest that you extract the framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk from the downloaded CM7 ROM file and upload those system files to the kitchen.

Make sure that under "Flashing folders for system files" you have it on /system/framework and /system/app respectively. I leave the others on default.

Once created, flash the downloaded UOT.zip. Clear dalvik and cache prior to flashing for good measure

Alternatively you can extract the files from the UOT zip and manually replace the ones on the CM7 ROM before flashing the entire ROM. (This is how I do it most of the time.)

If you still having problems check this thread they will be able to help you with it. But as far as the CM7 rom goes, it works fine with UOT kitchen. IMO :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990829

AFAIK only Sense Roms can do that. Although HTC released the kernel source code for the Desire, maybe the cyanogen team needs something else to deliver a camera software that uses all the hardware capabilities from this phone.

Anyone else having problems with the signal bar? Despite having no available signal, my phone shows some bars to indicate there is signal. I tried sending an sms and I can't send it.

When using others ROMs such as MIUI and Sense, the problem is gone. So I'm assuming this is software related and not hardware.

Any ideas? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] digge:
Im guessing it shows signal strength of other operators. Meaning if you dont have roaming with them all you can do is call emergency number? I have the same but the bars are grey when my operator not availible and green when my operator is availible. I think thats how it works at least.
[Desire Android Development] gunther82:
I checked light flow, but I saw that it requires a lot of authorizations and above all full accessibility. I tried it anyway for a few minutes, and I continuously saw the message "light flow has obtained super user rights" even when there was no notification.

Do you trust this program?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Check the notifications drop down menu. The carrier name should be displayed if you are getting signal from your provider. Otherwise it should say 'emergency calls only' and that signal bar usually indicates that there is a signal for you to make an emergency call to the other network provider that is available at the time.

[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Exactly, the full bars you see are signals coming from other networks that can be used to make emergency calls. It's telling you that there is a good signal from other providers to make an emergency call.

If you are getting signal from your provider then it will say "Globe" and the corresponding full bar.

The only way that you'll not see any bars on the notification is if there is no signal at all from any provider afaik
