Are there any plans on a cm7r2 hboot compatible version? or you totally against it?

this roms quite interesting to me but im reluctant to switch to data++ hboot while most of the roms run on cm7r2 partition scheme.

This is not a complaint nor a request, just a query...

Thx in advance.
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
This doesn't run on data++ but on stock hboot!
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
LOL, sorry, my BAD!!

Still you didnt answer my question :\
[Desire Android Development] zedaale:
Hi. Does this rom include the full version of quick office?
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Getting FC every time on HTC Mail but fantastic battery life. Will live without HTC Mail if I have to just for the battery life. :)
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
I don't have this problem. I don't know why. But you can try K9 Mail from Market (free).
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
No, this ROM includes Polaris Office.
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
I don't have this problem either. The HTC flip clock with weather (the one that's on the first screen by default) says 'No weather data available' and I can't get it to show anything else for my current location, but that's no big deal at all. Great ROM! :cool:
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
Maybe there's no location for the city you put in the system, so the app will search the nearest city available and will name it with your position.

Sorry for bad english. :P
[Desire Android Development] neonoafs:
CorradoSud, Im loving your rom and Im using a week ago. I just miss one thing (for a while). Is there a way to add music control by volume buttons? I like it because i dont use the earphones that come in package, im using a better one. So i hate to take it out of my pocket just to change the songs in music player. I like this function on Oxygen and theres a way to add in MIUI. If theres a way to put it, can you tell me how can i do that, or at least teach me how to do it in my rom?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry for my bad, bad english :o
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
You can download an App like PowerAMP or Cubed that replaces your lockscreen with music control. Then you can use volume keys to change song. I suggest PowerAMP.
[Desire Android Development] sempi601:
Is that really true?

I have been using both players for some time and couldn't change songs with volume long press. Maybe I'm doing something wrong :(
[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
I too would like to see skip tracks with volume key, as this is the only reason I don't use this ROM.

In the past, I've used various music players, such as those you suggest, which have the option to skip tracks with volume keys in their settings, but in general they don't work. I think it depends on the capabilities of the ROM you're running. And, even when they do work, they wake the screen, so you may as well use onscreen controls anyway!!!

As far as I know, no other sense ROM has had this feature so far, so if you could add it you'd be the first dev to do so I think (fancy the challenge??!!!), and I'd be able to use this as my daily ROM :):)

Here's hoping......

Regards

Wildcardspv

EDIT:

Oh yeah, while I'm asking for stuff, volume toggles in quick settings would be reeeeeeaaally handy!!!
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
5000+ download, thanks everybody.
[Desire Android Development] neonoafs:
See CorradoSud, all your user want this feature in this ROM. Please watch our requests :D
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
I'm not a coder, i'm just a modder... maybe. However i'll give a try. But i'm not sure i'll be able.
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
I would like to try to mix this rom with something of sense 3.5. What do you think about?
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Go for it corrado. But maybe go back to 1.3 as for me anyway, the battery life is way better on 1.3 than 2
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
Truly? For me is the same with 1.3 and 2.0. Try to remove the Mail App.
[Desire Android Development] neonoafs:
Id love to see that mix, but as duryard said, you should make two versions, one with 1.3 and another with the mix of 3.5 =D
[Desire Android Development] Lord_Quack:
cm7r2 Please!

Hey Corrado, I'm really tempted by your ROM, but I would **LOVE** if you could do a cm7r2 version!

All this talk of speed and battery life is making me drool!
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
What is the battery like on this rom?

a) In general...

b) compared to AOSP roms?

Very tempted to try :)
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
Same of an AOSP.
[Desire Android Development] ingelore86:
Much better than an aosp! (i speak about 1.3 version. Not tried v2 yet)
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
eheh... it would be a great thing.
[Desire Android Development] Silverpoint94:
Hi guys been using v2 of this rom for like 2 weeks now and everything is buttery smooth :) i just have a tiny prob tho. The battery sometimes drops from yellow to 0 in like a few minutes. Just wondering if i was the only one facing this. I've tried calibrating the battery already
[Desire Android Development] snoopcool:
Where can i Download the f*** People widget..
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
Don't worry about battery, it'll do just fine. It's mostly like what you get on other stable ROMs, since I don't notice much of a difference between them. If you compare AOSP with GB Sense, your battery will last longer on AOSP due to the fact that the GB Senser kernel doesn't scale the voltage well, but it's really no that much of a hog. I've had a bit better experience with the latest radio (5.17.05.23), especially in areas with poor or no network coverage and it'll give me about a day and a half with moderate usage, but generally not enough so as no to charge it every morning / evening (however, there is no ROM that does this, so don't take it as a con).

It happens to me as well. It's quite normal for it to be like this, because the system normally shuts down the phone at about 5%, but our batteries have degraded over time. So I find mine turning off even at 15% some times, but there's really nothing you can do about it other than buying a new battery. This is the way those batteries are -they don't have memory, don't mind being fully discharged or kept full almost all the time, not even being let plugged in all night, but their capacity drops by up to a third after 500 charge cycles...

One thing I've found you can do is after you calibrate the battery, fully discharge it, then plug it in and turn on the phone. Keep an eye on it and you'll notice it'll slow down charging up to a stop at about 85-95%, depending on how much capacity is lost. If you were to continue leaving it plugged in and watch a battery widget, you'd see it would just jump to 100% in a couple of minutes. Instead, unplug it when it stops charging (you can you Battery Monitor Widget to keep an eye on the electric current level and you'll know it's over when it goes under 100mA in). This way, you'll be able to get your battery down to the normal ~5% limit before your phone shuts down, because it'll no longer think it's actually more charged than it really is due to its being degraded. Otherwise, just leave it until 100%, but keep in mind it'll turn off before the battery level indicator hits 10% because of the lost capacity.

Hope this helps! :D
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Not wanting to put any pressure as I know you are busy with other stuff but when can we expect sense 3.5???

Don't know, really. :(

[Desire Android Development] nixey55:
Hi, many thanks for you efforts is making a quick and very smooth lightweight Sense Rom. I have extracted the people widget from another GB Sense Rom but I can't install it. Any ideas why?

P.S. good luck at uni
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
I'm not very sure of this, but I think it's because of the way the HTC apps are meant to stay together and not installed individually (the same reason you can't have Sense apps on an AOSP ROM). Push it to /system/app with adb and it should be fine :cool:
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
Thanks! However, you shoul try to adb push. It should work. Let me know! :D
[Desire Android Development] nixey55:
Not quite sure about how to use ADB but it is not really important anyway, I got launcer pro and it has a very similar People widget.

But I do have one important problem, I cant get it to tether either by wireless or USB cable. I wonder if the Radio and/or Kernel need updating. Do it work OK for you?

I am using Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and the snq v5 kernel supplied with the ROM.

If you have time I would appreciate your advice.
[Desire Android Development] CorradoSud:
It works for me. I use it everyday. It should work also for you!

[General Questions and Answers] hasenbein1966:
Hello,

yes, I'm new to this forum. And yes, I right away have a really special problem :)

I have ripped my 2000+ CD's onto a harddisk. Now I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 which has the USB host feature which works without problems.

When I use the stock music player, I can't remove the USB harddisk with the large MP3 library because when I do, the automatic media scanning removes all files from the database, and when I connect the harddisk again, all files are scanned anew which lasts an eternity :(

So I looked for a music player which maintains its own database independent from the Android one. After a REALLY long search I found

TTpod

which works well - when I remove the USB harddisk, the TTpod library remains unmodified and doesn't get rescanned when connecting again, just like I wanted it. The music folder on the harddisk got a ".nomedia" file so it's invisible to the Android media scanner.

BUT (!), and that's why I'm asking here for help:

TTpod doesn't have a search function! (The stock player and some others have.)

But I need one! Often I have to search for something like "Err... there was this piano prelude by Brahms...", and in other players it's easy: I type "brahms piano prelude" into the search box, and voilà - there are all matching files listed. But with TTpod it's very awkward to find something in a larger collection!

So, my question in short:

Is there any media player

1) which has an own independent media library with search function

2) which can use a folder on a USB device as root folder

3) whose library remains unaltered when the storage medium is disconnected

4) which can index this folder in spite of a ".nomedia" file in it?

Or is there any other possibility to solve my problem and maintain a huge MP3 library with my SGS2 comfortably?

Thanks in advance,

best wishes,

Hasenbein1966
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Try PowerAmp,

You can turn off system media scanning and i believe it keeps its own database.
[General Questions and Answers] hasenbein1966:
I'm sorry, but PowerAmp uses the built-in Android library.

AND it can't use a folder on an external USB device.

*sigh*

Best Wishes,

Hasenbein1966
[General Questions and Answers] petulikt:
Try power player..
[General Questions and Answers] hasenbein1966:
Do you mean "Power Music Player"? There's one app named Power Player but that's for streaming...

Power Music Player doesn't work. Shows empty Library tab; I can't choose any folders.

I don't want to be impolite, but please suggest an app ONLY if you tested it yourself, otherwise this thread will be filled with suggestions like "Try Mixzing...", "Try PlayerPro..." :-P I REALLY have tested MANY apps myself already, otherwise I wouldn't ask here!

Thanks!

Best Wishes,

Hasenbein1966

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak074:
i have no idea what apps wont work. but from what i can tell if fastboot is on the phone hibernates instead of completely turning off. it also boots up faster because of this...hence 'fastboot'. it saves about a minute or two on boot time.

Recommendation - turn off "Fast Boot" option

I tried to download / install Google Voice onto my Evo 3D today. After download and install, I could not get Google Voice to run at all. I was truly mystified as to why it wouldn't run.

Then I remembered reading somewhere about "Fast Boot" setting, and I checked under "Menu > Settings > Power" and sure enough Fast Boot was checked on by default.

I unchecked it, rebooted my Evo 3D. Then I got a Swiftkey X error that the language module couldn't be loaded. Then I rebooted one more time, and the Swiftkey X error went away - it ran fine. Then I tried Google Voice, and voila, it worked!!

IMHO this "Fast Boot" option is an unnecessary headache that can cause issues for users, the vast majority of whom will not know that this little setting is the culprit for their app issues. "
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I think some apps require a reboot to work or to fully change based on your settings. Since "fastboot" does not actually reboot your device, any time an application needs a reboot to function fully it doesn't get what it needs.

If you like the fastboot option but sometimes need to do a full reboot, simply pull the battery. This will cut through the "hibernation" and completely power down your phone allowing for a proper restart.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ive been told that this was fixed in JVR

at least some calendar sync issue, do not know if this particular error...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
This issue is not fixed in JVR. I loaded JVR specifically to see if it had been fixed, and it has not. I rolled back to stock JVH.

I have seen this issue on every Gingerbread ROM to date.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16273547&postcount=321

so i gues he is wrong :)

ever thinked this might some issue on your site?

or your company server?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
btw after a short google search
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
The same server works perfectly well with Android 2.2.1, Nokia MailforExchange, and WindowsMobile 6.5 -

It worked perfectly well syncing the Calendar on this phone too while it was on Android 2.2.1 - it was only when I went to 2.3.x that the problem surfaced, and it has been identical on all builds.

Regarding your other post - my phone was recently in for repair and came back completely wiped with a fresh install of the latest Vodafone approved 2.3.3

As soon as I set up the email client it immediately began to spin on the Calnedar again - so it seems very unlikely that clearing data would do anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
trying it would hurt yes?

well all i am saying it works for anyone around you

you are aware that this version as well as jvr one got updated

maybe it needs updating on server side also to latest idk

try other server maybe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skibbi_pl:
No, I'm not wrong :) On JVR exchange calendar sync works fine (finally).

Of course you may say that I photoshopped images, or created manually the calendar entry in my phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
Don't get me wrong. It is working for me too. I get all the appointments across.

It is just that the calendar is constantly synching for some reason.

If you look at the account sync options as I showed above, does your Calendar - last update timestamp change every minute ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skibbi_pl:
I don't use autosynchronization but my calendar entries are updated when I change something in my exchange calendar (currently my last update was around 10:00 AM). I believe it works the same way the email does - by "push". Maybe when using autosynchronization it does this constant updates? What are your email settings? It's also possible that some Exchange setting is forcing constant updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
Following the suggestion $omator found from someone with a HTC Incredible, I did the following

1. Moved all my appointments on the server to a secondary (non-sync'ed calendar) - this step may not be necessary but I had already begun moving them anyway to see if one was corrupted.

2. Removed my ActiveSync account

3. Cleared the data from the Email application (it was showing that there was still 76K of data associated with it after removing the account)

4. Turned off the phone, and turned it back on again.

5. Added my ActiveSync account back, and allowed it to sync all content (Emails and Contacts - Calendar was still empty)

6. Once everything was settled (including calendar sync) - I moved back all my appointments to my synched calendar on the server.

7. Happy days ! No more constant synching.

Thanks again $omator for the suggestion. I am always nervous about that "Clear Data" button.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
happy to hear!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
and the fix i was talking about in jvr

is enabling multi calendars sync or something like that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leak73:
I am using a stock JVR and have this problem as well. I also tried the solution posted but that didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
Found root cause - Contact BIRTHDAY field !

The problem came back. And my original cure did not work.

However, in troubleshooting, I realised that one of my colleagues phone's had also started doing the same - at the same time ! Tracing back I found that I had added a birthday field to one of our shared contacts (that both phones were synching) just before the issue started happening. So, having deleted/re-added/cleared data/etc. to no avail, I simply edited the contact on the server to remove the birthday from the contact and everything settled down again.

To verify the fix, I re-added a birthday record to another contact, and immediately the calendar sync started to spin again. I removed it, and immediately it settled down again.

(NOTE: This ties back to my original "fix" too as I had cleared out any suspect appointments/birthdays/anniversaries/etc during original troubleshooting, but the birthday fields were in non-"ping"ed Contact folders - so the contact records had not been refreshed on the phone until I had done a clear data and reloaded them.)

So, my suspicion is that when Android 2.3.3+ finds a birthday field on a contact it tries to add some kind of calendar event for it (I don't know where this event is, as it does not show up on the calendar as far as I can see.) Every time it asks the server to sync the calendar, it expects the server to have the same event - but when it doesn't find it, it asks for another Calendar sync again.

I also tried the same test with the Anniversary field, but that one did not appear to cause any issues.

Hopefully this will help others.

If anyone else is experiencing the issue, please report back if this fixes it for you.

And, if anyone has any ideas why the birthday field is breaking the sync, it would be great to get a full understanding.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
do not forget to report it also to google

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pwhooftman:
Thank you very much for this find! I too suffer from this problem since leaving 2.1 (i think). To all others: this IS a bug, even in JVR. Just about when you think deleting & recreating your exchange account solved this, this problem tends to raise its head again (sometimes after a day or so). Two independent Exchange servers cause this problem for me. The result is that the Calendar still syncs, but at the expense of a constant 10% load, halving battery life. Its even visible in the sync settings of the Exchange account; the spinning circle icon never disappears indicating the looping process. This has been reported to Google multiple times (search code.google.com) but they dont seem to mind.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmax2k1:
I have exactly the same issue with GingerBread on an HTC EVO 3D, I followed your instructions to clear any Birthday info on my Exchange contacts, I will report back in a few days to see if this fixes my problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chadmd23:
I only started having the sync issue when my company upgraded to Exchange 2010.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onecosmic:
We've experienced sync issues on my company (using exchange 2003/2007) after some microsoft patches.... we still have MS engineers working to find what the heck broke the sync but without success...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madmax2k1:
The clearing of birthday info in contacts did not resolve my problem. The constant synching with the calendar and sometimes with mail occurs every couple of weeks, and the only solution is to clear past appointments in my calendar and re-enable push synching on my phone afterwards. I believe it's a bug between ActiveSync in GB and Exchange 2010. I hope that ICS resolves this annoying issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sandhall:
YES!! My ActiveSync calendar has been driving my crasy, draining the battery on my GS2. I use zarafa and z-push, not Exchange.

Found one contact with the birthday date set and after removing this the calendar behaves as expected. THANK YOU!!

This is clearly a bug. Anyone knows if it has been reported?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] the_gunners:
i'm using 2.3.5 and having issue for calendar sync, somehow it's only work if the autosync set to ON, if using scheduled sync it will not work :confused:

as i don't want to set autosync always on, the only workaround is by using task scheduler to set up the autosync schedule on certain time :rolleyes:
