new to CM7

Hi, im currently using MIUI (MIUI-XJ's D2Ext /X-Part rom) and am thinking of trying cm7 to get a feel for comparison and performance.

my only questions is:

does CM7.1.0 for desire support d2ext natively, or is there an easy to use app to apply this function.

My SD Card is 16gb Class6, Partitioned: Fat32=13.7gb, Ext4=1gb, Ext4=300mb.

Im hoping that there's a way to install CM7 without re-partioning and using the SD card as it is.?
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
Easiest way is with the app simple2ext from market, its build for CM7 and works like a charm. But you only need one ext partition for it, just install the app after you installed CM7 and select all you will move to ext, reboot.
[Desire Android Development] dsbnz:
Awesome thanks for the info. If i leave the SD Card as it is, will having the 2nd 300mb Ext partition have any bearing on performance? Can i leave it there without re-partitioning?
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
You can try it, dont know if there are problems with 2 exp partitions. Or you use gparted (linux) for repartitioning, with this method your data stays on the fat partition.
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
That's perfectly fine. I came from miui too and had an extra partition.
[Desire Android Development] dsbnz:
I tried cm7.1, flashed fine, but couldnt get s2e to work. app worked ok, but saw no difference in data size, still showed about 108mb app space. CM7 would be awesome if d2e would work out of the box like miui-xj´s xpart rom.

sd card was partitioned originally with gparted.

Any tips for a good call recorder . Maybe trehe is some mod addon for cm7 ?:-)

Not sure if d2ex works with cm7 but the gui a2sd in the market works perfectly fine.
[Desire Android Development] dsbnz:
I ended up trying Data2SDInstallerX1, which seems to work well, just flashed it after first reboot, and all good :)

[Desire Android Development] BorgCymru:
Is there going to be any more development for the Desire now? Or has it ran its course and the newer phones taking up the limited time for deveopers
[Desire Android Development] stephnd:
has the camera app been improved? the last time i used it, it was CM7 and the camera took awful pictures compared to sense UI roms.
[Desire Android Development] nightcrow:
You can read all about it at the cm-website: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update

Seems like their goal is to bring out cm9 for practically all devices that have cm7 now.
[Desire Android Development] nightcrow:
Actually I'm on cm7 for about a week now and my experiences with the camera so far have been the opposite. It's way better than the recent sense-roms I've been on. So if you're looking for aan well-working camera you might want to try cm7.

I switched to cm7 because I got tired of all sense-roms and I'm glad I tried cm7. It's very fast, stable, beautiful and has good battery-life. However I have to admit you'll start missing some sense-stuff like the weather/stock/calender widgets. But this is a matter of personal taste. For me cm7 is the best rom.

3. Update your radio! New radio from HTC 2.2+ roms is required

Can I flash the radio from the recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Rsdf430.:
Yup, flash radio in recovery like you do with any other rom
[Desire Android Development] BurningKoala:
thanks i'll try :D

---------- Post added at 08:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

ok I've flashed cm7 and it works fine,but when I start the phone i can still see the brand logo...should I flash a RUU?can i flash it in recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Rsdf430.:
You have splash screen and bootscreen.

splash screen is the first one and boot screen the second.

sometimes the boot screen changes when it is included in the rom.

The splash screen does not change by flashing roms.

you can flash a ruu to change the splash screen but that will unroot your phone.

With brand logo you mean vodafone or t-mobile right,the carrier?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
What brand logo are you talking about? The HTC white screen?
[Desire Android Development] ali8383:
No new version ?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
The CM team is using all their resources for CM9 so don't expect new updates for the time being.
[Desire Android Development] BurningKoala:
it's fastweb logo(an italian brand like vodafone),I really hate it...
[Desire Android Development] abellimz:
Using this rom with ics themes and go launcher makes it very nice looking and smooth, this should be the default look for all android devices before ics is released.

[Desire Android Development] BurningKoala:
so can I install a RUU from recovery?becose if I lunch the exe file from windows it don't recognize my desire...
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
Don't do that!

Use android flasher or fastboot commander (java applications for pc).

First find logo picture.

Then boot into fastboot (hold vol down while pressing power when phone off)

Plug usb cable in pc and phone

Start commander and flash logo.

Note, that adb driver must be setup on pc.

These are all steps you need to do. More info on xda and google.

I'm not sure whether you still have this question, but you can either use kernel manager from the market, or use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696846

I need some help.

When i try to install my radio it says:

-- Installing: /sdcard/bravo.5.17.05.23.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Amend scripting (update=script) is not longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessery to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script- and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aboerted.

What can I do about this?
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Download the attached file, transfer it to your SD card, install it via recovery, then you'll have the "old" recovery (only temporary) and you can install radio. Btw., you cannot install radio via recovery if you have only 5MB cache (it's the case with cm7r2 hboot, data++...) as far as I know. If that's the case, you'll have to use fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] mayurh:
Has anyone experienced random reboots with cm7.1 ?

I've had it twice so far while phone is idle and screen off
[Desire Android Development] galom:
not since I uninstalled LBE. I removed it and all good here.
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
What is LBE? This?
[Desire Android Development] galom:
yes that's it. but since you asked that's not your issue. I haven't had any luck with any app that tries to limit permissions.

BUG - Charging state not detected by ROM

I discover a bug when charging via wall plug; the ROM does not detect the charging state and apps settings that depends on this status do not get triggered. The battery still gets charged, only the charging state is not detected. When charging via USB, ROM is able to detect state correctly.
[Desire Android Development] negative13:
Mine detects properly. Tested with Tasker.

hi everyone!!

i have a problem.

it happens to me when i send sms, the phone sends it to to wrong recipient. i have a delivery report, and in sms thread it shows me that message was sent to the recipient i wanted to send, but in fact it is sent to the wrong one
[Desire Android Development] ElZeck:
Hey guys!

First of all I really like this ROM, thanks to everyone involved.

I have one small problem though: once or twice a day my phone freezes and I have to take out the battery to reset it. It alway happens when going to or coming from lockscreen. any suggestions? you think a different launcher could fix this?

any comments will be greatly appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
The ROM in itself is stable. Do you undervolt or overclock? That can sometimes cause the issues that you are having.
[Desire Android Development] ElZeck:
i am doing neither.

at the moment i am running mildwild 2.9, which is based on oxygen and its fine.

but i like the cm7 functionality better, so i would like to swich. as it always happens with the lockscreen i thought it might have sth to do with that...
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Try the last official CM7 nightlies. It's pretty stable for me. I'm using v261 which is the second to the last nightlies they rolled out. You can try changing kernels if you feel like it too. If you like Mildwild I believe he released based on the CM7 version.

[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
HELP! Before my girlfriend kills me :O

I've just rooted her desire, Alpharev S-OFF and made a nandroid backup of the basic Froyo Sense ROM. Then I decided I wanted this Cyanogen ROM. So first thing I did was to flash the modified CM7 HBOOT r2 as suggested in the OP's first post. Then downloaded 'update-cm-7.1.0-Desire-signed'.

I flashed the HBOOT and rebooted (no probs there), went into Recovery. Put the update-cm-7.1.0-Desire-signed file on the SD and tried to flash. I select the flash option, it starts and literally just goes back to the main menu after 1/2 seconds :(

Have I downloaded the wrong thing or am I following the wrong procedure?

HELP!!
[Desire Android Development] redsmith:
Isn't there some kind of error information? Like "Installation aborted due to verification" or similar? Chances are your downloaded ROM is corrupt. Have you tried checking its md5sum?
[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
PHEW! Yea I checked the md5sum and it was fine, as it happens, it was the sd card?! Changed it and all was fine... I'll get to live another day.

Thanks Redsmith. :D
[Desire Android Development] wahur1:
can this rom be flashed on ext3 partition?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
yes ext3 is the best choice

to use the app2sd ext partition, u need to flash Simple2Ext or the CM7 Legacy App2SD Addon Script (see first post for those)
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
I thought that was better ext4. Do you suggest me to change?

Only for cyanogenmod 7 or others too?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
well, just i don't see big advantages using ext4..but maybe i'm wrong..there are different reports on this

(by the way cm7 mounts the sd-ext as ext3 by default; look inside the rom zip in system\etc\init.d\05mountsd ...if u want use it with an ext4, u should change it probably, otherwise ur sd-ext get mounted as ext3 anyway)

Video recording causes a reboot

Hi guys,

I have just flashed CyanaogenMod-7.1 on my Desire and the ROM is just awesom, except one thing.

When I use the Camera to record video, it force closes, and then it reboots... Any idea of what this might be?

I have tried using the several video quality, but it allways seems to reboot...
[Desire Android Development] skhell:
Solved.

My fault:mad:

When I first flashed CyanogenMod, I selected an old Radio, instead of the newest one.

Just flashed radio 5.17.05.23 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464 and its working ok. BTW, I was not able to flash the radio found in CyanogenMod webpage.
[Desire Android Development] Zammo76:
I've installed this ROM but I'm getting quite a lot of FC errors. I get them on ADW Launcher, Titanium, Calender and a lot of other apps. My WIFI is also painfully slow.

I couldn't install the updated radio when I first flashed the app, 4EXT recovery came up with the following error:

Amend scripting (update-scripting) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packges. Installation aborted.

So I guess this could be a reason for all my problems, but I havn't really got a clue on what the above means or how to rectify it.

I also did not install GAPPS but I have since downloaded all of the missing Google apps.

Any advise greatly appreciated!
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
did u do a full wipe/factory reset in the recovery before flash it?
[Desire Android Development] Zammo76:
Yes I did a factory wipe, wiped cache and dalvik cache.

TBH the more I think about the problem i'm sure its down to that I havn't got the updated radio installed. But I don't know how to go about getting it installed.
[Desire Android Development] Sandeman1976:
Download the zip, put it on your SD.

Boot to recovery, choose (something like) flash zip from SD, find the zip and flash it.

Yes, that's all. :D

I am installing the radio 5.17.05.23 is this correct?

[Desire Android Development] Sandeman1976:
Yes, that's the one I'm running. I can't help you with the other issues, I'm on another recovery and never experienced any of the problems you're mentioning.
[Desire Android Development] Zammo76:
I may try and switch back to Clockwork Mod and give it another go. If I can remember how too!

Edit.

I just installed Clockwork mod flashed the radio and again got the above error, grrrrr!

Can someone please put a link to the current radio as maybe I have the wrong one or mine is corrupt?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Use Android Flasher or better yet via adb command promt
[Desire Android Development] Zammo76:
Just tried it through adb command prompt and it still produced an error. I then tried downloading a different radio and flashing that but again I got the above error.

Hmm I'm running out of ideas and patience. How can I check what radio my phone has installed?
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Just go to settings -> about phone -> baseband version.

Also radio can only be flashed in adb via fastboot.

so the correct way to do this is,

adb reboot-bootloader

then when you are on the white screen,

fastboot flash radio radio.img

it should take a few seconds, the enter,

fastboot reboot, then check under about phone again.

Does anyone else get music playing out the speaker when they unplug their headphones?

If I am watching a film using the Videos app included in the ROM and then when I finish I close the Videos app. Then when I unplug the headphones the phone loads up the Music app and starts playing it through the phone speaker.It is getting a bit embarassing. Any ideas how I get round this?

Thanks

EDIT: This is using the HTC headphones with mic that came with the phone.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Some music apps offer a "resume when headphones are plugged in" option, and the jack sometimes mistakes unplugging for plugging in. Make sure all such options are disabled...

Also: Install "Hearing Saver" (mutes media volume when you unplug headphones)... :)

Hi,

I've a Desire with CM 7.0.3 installed on it, as well as DarkTremor A2SD. Should I follow the main page instructions to simply do a Nandroid backup and flash the newer 7.10 ROM, or do I need to wipe anything? Will my device configurations (settings, options, apps, desktop, etc) be preserved?

Thanks!

Sony Ericsson has promised ICS upgrades for a few phones that have similar SoCs - the MSM8255, for instance. Couldn't they just rip the drivers out of those?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
8255 is not 8x50

i hope all understand about ICS is 2 versions ahead from GB and thing, like camera and proper GL, without vendors support will be hard to do, dont forget about 8x50 is not supported on ICS by both QCOM and HTC

if u want some one to blame, blame HTC who have dropped support for this devices only after 1y

Ah, that's unfortunate. Still, CM7 works pretty much perfectly on the Desire :-)

No need to wipe.
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Yup. I fully understand where you guys are coming from.. you can only do so much for Desire. Just like what I said on my sig, if we want ICS badly its time to upgrade. :D

I do appreciate the fact that CM7 is still in development. That will satisfy me until I get a new unit to play with.

[Desire Android Development] dsbnz:
I've tried a handful of roms in various flavors, and for me (as its all down to the individual), I'm liking cm the most of all I've tried. Each person gets different mileage from each from, so best advice would be to try what appeals to you the most in terms of feature etc.

The latest cm7.2.0-rc1, for me, works excellent & tonnes of features. You can also use a free app on market called S2E, to utilize an ext partition to expand app memory, which I've found to be very reliable (but you need a quality SD card for performance). Its easy to setup.

Oddly enough cm was the first rom I tried when I started flashing, now its the one I stick with, while I wait and see where cm9 development goes.
