I have requested the closure of this thread. The CM versions here are out of date compared to the nightly builds and I believe CM 7.1 RC2 will be released in the not-too-distant future.

Once RC2 is out I will create a new thread for experimental / stable builds. Until then, please use the nightly thread and builds found here:

Thanks!

From the other thread, regarding 1.0.5 vs nightly builds:
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
I found 2 bugs:

opera doesn`t wotk... bluetooth transfer files to phone from Pc doesn`t work.

but excelent ROM. :)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Which Opera? Mobile or Mini?

Both seem to work fine for me.
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
sorry mobile Opera
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Can you give a bit more detail as to how it doesn't work? Because it works fine for me.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I lack any PC with Bluetooth here so unfortunately the best I can test or debug regarding bluetooth is phone-to-phone.

As for Opera Mobile, just tested it on my phone, it seems to work fine. I'm able to browse the web without issue.

Did you clear the cache when you installed the ROM? If so, try deleting Opera's stored data, or un-installing and reinstalling.
[HTC Desire S] patko226:
i have still message about force close...
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
@NeoLojik

Not a bug, more of an observation, with regards to music attenuation when playing notification sounds. In previous ROMs, for example when a text came through, the music volume would be slightly lowered while the notification sound played, then it would fade back to normal volume. In this ROM, using the same settings, the music volume is muted completely when a notification sound is played. Am I missing a setting here? Music is being played through headphones.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Not sure, it's not something I use to be honest but I'll try and check it now and see what I come up with.

I'll update when I have something.
[HTC Desire S] trismegistos:
run fixpermissions in recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Ok, notifications / etc when music is playing.

When playing music through the speaker and a notification arrives, the music is slightly reduced and the notification plays, as you would expect.

With headphone plugged in the music does momentarily mute. Though honestly I'm not sure if this is by design or not in CM7. Unfortunately I don't have another Android handset to test with.

There are settings regarding this in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Sound, but in playing with them I haven't managed to change the behaviour described above.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Yup.. I have played with those settings too and couldn't get it to behave as it does when on speaker, which I believe is the correct behaviour. Not really an issue. Just trying to point out as many anomalies as I can in the effort to produce the perfect ROM. I wish I knew more about editing and building ROMs so I could offer more help than just complaining lol.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
You're not complaining, like everyone else I want this to be perfect so I'll take a look into the code and see if I can't find a solution =)
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
I have a small, yet important request.

On stock HTC Sense ROM, MMS messages are downloaded automatically, but not on any AOSP ROM out there.

On the stock ROM there is a setting under "APN settings" called "MMS-protocol" which can be set to "WAP 2.0".

This setting is missing from CM7, can the auto download feature from stock ROM be the "MMS-protocol" setting?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I'll try and take a look. The APN list in CM7 is handled by someone else, but like I said, I'll take a look =)

Update posted

v1.0.1

If you're already running the original release plus the camera fix you don't need this. It just has the camera fix already integrated. No other changes.
[HTC Desire S] okey666:
The 1.0.0 RC link seems to have stopped working (?) (404)
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
the link for v 1.0.1 doestn't work
[HTC Desire S] okey666:
Oh, it's been updated to 1.0.1

edit: which still doesn't work but I guess NeoLojik may be updating stuff.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Looking into this, it seems this is a CyanogenMod problem, not one with the port. I'm afraid it's something you will need to bring to their attention =( I'm unsure whether it's in development, or was removed in the past, but Google shows a few results for people talking about the missing setting.

Sorry I couldn't help further.

Apologies, broke the link when pasting, corrected now and it works =)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
One more thing: The "LED Flashlight" option seems to be disabled in the notification power widget button selection.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Confirmed, will try and track that down =)

Update:

Fixed, flashable zip in first post. Will be rolled into the next build too =)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I've noticed the Sense 3.0 2.3.5 ROM has an option in the reboot menu for a "hot reboot", is there any way to achieve this on CM7?
[HTC Desire S] bjohv052:
There is something weird about those settings, haven't managed to get it to work on my o2x either.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Unfortunately this is a question for the CM7 development team, I've only compiled it for our device, I don't work on the core code =)

Update:

Dropbox just killed my public file sharing for "excessive" bandwidth use. As I've got to re-upload the ROM I'm uploading version 1.0.2 with the power widget fix rolled in.

Should be done soon, apologies about this =\

Update 2:

v1.0.2 is now on-line. Links in first post.

Sorry for the delay. Lesson of the day, read the ToS >.<
[HTC Desire S] Wout2426:
This rom is super ! Flashed the camera fix, confirmed working. (no shutter sound, but no big deal)

I wil stick with this one after trying a few roms.

Thx !!
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
The shutter sound is intentionally disabled in the code to work around a bug with the sound chip in the Desire S and related handsets. Audio recording issues occur if the shutter sound plays.

Unfortunately it's either a case of no shutter sound or hitting a bug when using the camcorder ;)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Neo, another bug: trying to make a call while headphones are plugged in sometimes results in speakerphone being automatically enabled. I disabled it, hung up, made another call and it remained off. I tried another call (with headphones) after an hour or so and it was enabled again.
[HTC Desire S] bjohv052:
Interesting. The same behavior is being discussed in the cm7 nightly thread for o2x. Coincidence or common bug?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I thought perhaps it was caused by the fact we're not using the binary libaudio.so, instead I compile it from source-code, but the P990 (o2x) uses a propriety one, so that rules that out.

I too have the issue, but rarely and I believe it's a CM7 mainline bug rather than a device configuration one. Again I'm not a coder for the mainline CyanogenMod code, I only got an Android handset 7 weeks ago and I've learnt everything from scratch since then ;)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
A fast learner, you are.
[HTC Desire S] Wout2426:
Aaah ! You are right. When i had the Hydrogen rom the shutter sound was there but i had to play with volume up down while using the video cam to get sound with the recording. And that didn't work always.

Thx for the quick reply.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Exact same issue i had on MIUI, needed to choose, or shutter sound or sound when recording, it was a pretty obvious decision
[HTC Desire S] NICK^^:
Thank you for this ROM. Running well on my device. Very fast and clean! No bugs find yet.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
I think it's pretty soon to ask for battery life, but my phone doesn't seem to sleep well. Dropped 10% in 7 hours while it was sleeping. When I woke up, checked battery use and the phone was awake while the screen was off. I don't have any apps installed except gapps, I only flashed it last night. Wifi and mobile data were also switched off.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Something must be wrong...

You flashed it...after wiping everything right ???

Cos I have been using it for more than a day now...

35 hours to be exact...

With about 3 hours of music...an hour of calls and 200 mess...i am left with 50% battery...

So battery life is insane...

Just check your configuration...hope u didnt flash any tiamat kernel
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
According to this change request our device will be officially supported by Cyanogen soon!! Congratulations to all involved, great job guys!
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
No, I wipped everything. I will just wait and see. I didn't flash tiamat kernel yet, but will if everything sorts out correctly. Thanks for your response.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
extra :) thx for info.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Na I would suggest you stick to this kernel...it very good...

Tiamat m not yet satisfied....

Do lemme know if your battery thing solves...

Also check auto sync is switched off and also if some app is waking ur phone up unknowingly...that may prevent ur phone from sleeping properly...
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
Working well for me thanks! I think wifi signal is weaker than with stock and virtuous though, I'm seeing 1/3 to 1/2 of signal strength as normal.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Note: this bug occurs without headphones too. I didn't notice it in any of the other CM7 ROMs. I'm using the default kernel at the moment. May be worth investigating, as it is particularly annoying. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
:) So close to official! :P nice

The sound issues with headphones are known, we thought it was sound drivers in kernel, but the new ones didnt fix it, so we will need to look into it again
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I've been unable to cause the bug without headphones enabled. Is it possible you're hitting the speaker button on screen before the proximity sensor locks the screen?

I've made many calls on this ROM and not once had the issue without headphones, and I'm almost certain that's a CM7 bug because a few other devices have reported it.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Nope, I dialled a number just with the phone in my hand, and as soon as it initiates the call, with the phone still in my hand (and screen on) the speaker is enabled.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I'm afraid I cannot cause this to happen =\ I've made over 20 test calls to several different numbers and it didn't happen once.

All I can recommend is trying to obtain a logcat for me to look at. You'd need to know how to use ADB, hook up your phone to your PC, then do:

adb logcat *:V > cm7.log

Once the problem has occurred, restart the phone to end the log and then upload it somewhere and PM me a link. Perhaps there will be some clues in it but these things are hideous to debug without being able to test them in person I'm afraid.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
happened to me too
[HTC Desire S] Fidoble:
Has happend to me once, but it is a CM bug, the problem has been reported on the Legend too.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
^^ I had CM7 on the Legend and never experienced this bug. I also never experienced it on the Desire S with any other CM7 ROMs I've tried (superkid's, nightly, etc). So there must be a setting or something somewhere?
[HTC Desire S] Mental_Atom:
ROM is nice so far, fast and light!
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I've spent the better part of the day messing around trying to trigger the speaker-phone when making or receiving a call but I've been unsuccessful. Google turned up results showing it happens with other devices and without a detailed log of it occurring I'm not sure I can debug it further.

At this point I believe it's a core CM7 bug, not one relating to our device. I'll continue to look into it but until I can cause it to happen for me I've kind of got my hands tied regarding being able to debug it =(

If anyone can give me a log from it happening (instructions here) it would be very helpful.

We're very close to getting the device merged into the main CyanogenMod repository, I'll let you all know when that happens =)
[HTC Desire S] tready:
Could some one tell me if they have a pic when viewing bbciplayer through app or web browser I haven't only got sound is it a bug or is it my phone thanks
[HTC Desire S] j0s3pH:
been using this rom for the past 2 days! so far no bugs yet! thx for the nice rom!
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
What's the battery life like on this rom?
[HTC Desire S] tankos:
This is a known problem on CM7 and MIUI. It's a problem with Flash rather than the ROM. You can use the following fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116618

Hope this helps! :)
[HTC Desire S] Wout2426:
Super. From yesterday 23:00 till now 08:00 lost 3%.
[HTC Desire S] lennshow66:
Is that 9hours?
[HTC Desire S] bjohv052:
Waiting anxiously for the patch to be merged into cm!

Could you please add md5 checksums in the OP?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Done!

We're nearly merged with CyanogenMod now. They have merged the device tree and the proprietary files, we're just waiting for the device to be added now and then we'll be official.

Cayniarb and I have worked on getting Saga added to the default CyanogenMod kernel too, so the official CM release will have a full CM kernel to go with it. Of course you can still flash whatever kernel you like afterwards =)

Thanks for all the support!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Now we just need to wait :P

This is amazing... great work guy's :)

same like any other rom, read this.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
fresh clean (except 3G Watchdog Pro) CM v.1.0.2 - current widget 20mA, in AirplaneMode 74mA
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
Im getting 6-8mA with 3g on, in airplane mode its a bit more 11-14mA.

This ROM is just wonderful, so far I found no bug. Thanks

ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1 Nexx 1.0.2

Radio: 20.41.30.0818U_3817.07.00.19_M
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
Using current widget?
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
Values above were obtianed using Battery Monitor widget. Tried CurrentWidget right now and in idle where Battery Monitor showed 6-7mA, CurrentWidget shows 12mA.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
Odd. I had good battery life at first but now it seems to lose charge quickly. I've lost 35% in 6 hours. 40% went to cell standby and 40% to phone idle.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Please bear in mind that after a full-wipe and ROM install, battery calibration is lost and takes some time to be regenerated accurately =)

Until you've fully discharged and charged your phone 2-3 times, don't trust the percentages.
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
I've installed the rom and haven't yet discovered any bugs apart from one which is critical in my case. Buttons backlight doesn't work or rather it works randomly. I've had this problem with stock rom as well like sometimes the backlight is on in bright light conditions and off in the dark or vice versa (correct behavior) or doesn't work at all for a while. I'm not sure why it's like that, perhaps I've got faulty sensor or whatever. So with previous AOSP roms I was happy because buttons backlight was persistent and I'd rather spend this extra bit of power but always have buttons backlight in dark environment. NeoLojik, my question is do you have some kind of a patch which can enable persistent buttons backlighting? If you don't have it at hand then don't bother - I'll simply roll to my backup. Thanks for your work and good luck with getting this rom official.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Unfortunately the backlight settings are hard-coded in the ROM. We use a system where we decide how bright the screen and button lights should be based on the ambient light.

To my knowledge there's no app to modify those settings as they are held in framework.jar and modifying it in it's compiled state is a nightmare, however I should be able to provide you with a flashable zip which will force them to be on at all light levels if that would help?

I cannot do it tonight as it's 3am local time, but tomorrow I'll see what I can throw together for you and I'll let you know.
[HTC Desire S] uoosuow:
Backlight can be set in CyanogenMod Settings.

Just go to Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Display -> Automatic backligh -> Light levels -> tick Use custom -> Edit other levels.

For buttons is 0 off and 1-255 on. Just set values for 640 - infinity from 0 to 1 for example. -> Save & apply and youre good to go.
[HTC Desire S] freedompie:
Good luck on getting official status on this rom, I bet they'll approve it in a couple of days. Btw this rom is very stable and has no bugs, good job!
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
I am loving this! Only problem I've got is that mobile data isn't working for me. It's obviously something with my phone since no one else has reported it but it won't connect to the internet unless on WiFi. I have checked and it is enabled but in my phone's status it says:

Mobile network type - HSDPA

Service status - In service

Roaming- not roaming

Mobile network state - Disconnected

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Maybe APN is not set correctly.
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
That was it and I am back online! Thanks very much! Much appreciated! :D

That's bizzare. I just checked the links from another PC, they work there too.

Just to rule out any cache issues, this is the link you should be seeing:

It was reported before, and i can confirm, that wifi signal strength is about half of what i had with stock rom.

Any solution for this? Different radio maybe?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Still not getting it on my PC...(have cleared cache and even rebooted PC & rooter) can't get it through phone either....

Have tried multiple times.....
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
WiFi seems just fine here, I use it all day but I'll look into the firmware we're using and see if there's not a better one in a newer ROM or something.

Hmm, ok I'll upload a mirror to another sharing site. Will be about half-an-hour.

I had this issue with the wi-fi:

yesterday was the first time I turned it on and it worked smoothly with no flaws, even if the signal wasn't as strong as the one of the stock rom.

Today I tried to connect again to the same router, but this time it couldn't see it (which doesn't require any key to access), even if I put the Desire S really close to the router, and it started to find for a couple of minutes just the locked wi-fi lines (even if they are way much farther than my router) and then it wasn't able to find any wi-fi signal at all.
[HTC Desire S] DukE_2k3:
Offline calendar like the stock "PC Sync" possible?

Hi @all!

I really would like to switch over to this marvelous rom but just one tiny problem - I currently can't have an internal/offline calendar like the one of the stock rom which is called "PC Sync". The calendar which is never been synced to google at all but is used with HTC sync for outlook etc.

I already fiddled with the calendar.db in /data/data/com.android.providers/calendar/database but actually the modification isn't stable at all. I can see the newly added calendar which isn't syncable but the standard calendar app FCs if I check which calendars are available. My fav calendar app "business calendar" is OK with the newly added offline calendar. But I feel quite uncomfortable with a FCing app on the other hand.

Anybody tried the same and succeeded?

Any help is much appreciated ...

Thanx and cheers
[HTC Desire S] sebas_tytn2:
Maybe i'm not looking in the right place, but where are the original HTC clocks?

cant find it !
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
You wont find them, it isn't a HTC rom so no HTC widgets.
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
Worked perfectly, thanks!
[HTC Desire S] freedompie:
i think factory reset and erasing your sd card doesn't work on this rom, can someone comfirm this.
[HTC Desire S] DukE_2k3:
*confirmed*

after factory reset I ended up in a boot-loop :-(
[HTC Desire S] bjohv052:
I would highly recommend gSyncit to sync your Outlook items to your Gmail account. Those items are then synced to your phone automagically.
[HTC Desire S] DukE_2k3:
I actually don't want my "special" appointments in the cloud at all. Therefore I'd like to have this offline calendar. I use my custom own software to do the sync - on stock it works flawlessly.

But thanx!
[HTC Desire S] sebas_tytn2:
Where can i get htc-like clocks? I tries to flash transparent clock but it doesnt work.
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
From Market. They are not included in non-sense ROMs.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Try Beautiful widgets
[HTC Desire S] shizuku:
Tried this rom for a few days and overall it's running well, except i have some battery drain than when using the Zulugen rom. That rom i use the Tiamat kernel.

I switched back to the Zulugen rom for now.
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I put it into airplane mode overnight and lost almost no power. I wonder if the cell standby drain and weak wi-fi issues are related?

I'm using baseband 20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Looking into this now.

I ran a power consumption test overnight using Tiamat 1.1.2. Consumption was less than the stock HTC ROM which means battery life is better.

I'll try to remember to run one tonight with the kernel included in v1.0.2 of CM7 and compare the results. In the mean time, grab Tiamat 1.1.2 and flash that from recovery, it works fine with our ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Ok, just ran some tests.

Formatting the SD doesn't work, so this is confirmed. I know why it doesn't work and I'm looking into it but there is mention of it failing on other CM devices too, so this may be a CM bug rather than a device one.

Factory reset works correctly. You select it, then the phone reboots to the reset screen which shows a progress bar and a small box in the background. After a minute or so the phone reboots again then sits at the HTC logo for about 45-60 seconds before changing to the CyanogenMod bootscreen and loading normally.

Could anyone who has a boot-loop with factory reset tell me what sequence of events you see happening? Are you sure it's boot-looping and not just taking longer than you expect?

Thanks =)
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I've flashed Tiamat 1.1.2, I'll see if it makes a difference here to battery and wifi strength.
[HTC Desire S] DukE_2k3:
Strange, I can't reproduce the boot loop. I checked that yesterday and ended in a boot loop - but today - it works.

Sorry for the false positive from my side!

Cheers

BTW: yesterday I had Tiamat 1.1.2 installed - today I tested the delivered kernel.
[HTC Desire S] freedompie:
My factory reset works but I have found the problem, if you checkmarked erase sd card, then you'll get something like "invalid path: null" but if you didn't then factory reset is ok.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Likely related to the SD wiping bug.

I know exactly where and why the error occurs but from testing it doesn't seem related to anything in my device layout. I'm still not ready to 100% call it a CyanogenMod bug, but it's been reported on 2 other devices so far.
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
Big thanks, downloading now. Loved Superkids ROM. Looking forward to giving this one a spin. :)
