Today i first tried to mount phone as usb storage on win7, it couldnt do it. Is it working for you normally with this rom?

sent from dz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Works for me without any problem on Win7 x64.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
No problems here either.

What's the deal with cm7 updates? Can we flash them and retain all the tweaks or do we have to compile a new version? Oooor are we going to see periodic updates as new nightlies are released?

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I can't just copy the mod over a new nightly if that's what you mean, it's part of the process but the userspace tweaks make this wee more complicated, especially after a big update in nightly like now. We will get our fix soon. Promise :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Nik3r as far as the Virtuous OC Daemon. I was switching between your rom and the IWLT for a while but decided battery life is more important for me. The OC Daemon made the ROM seem very efficient I think it would help with battery life as well. If you want me to be a guinnie pig I'm willing to. I just don't know how to incorporate the Daemon or else I would have already. If you don't want to mess around too much with your settings or phone I'm here for ya :) You're welcome to PM me or email at nshih422 at gmail and I can work on it with you.

Pardon my spelling its been a long day. :)

tl;dr

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I feared as much. That's cool. Take your time as 186 is running great with a heavy dose of UV and setcpu :-)

As above, if you need a guinea pig, just shout - mgambrill at googlemail dot com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Played around a little, got the OC Daemon running, but messed up wifi somehow. When I click on turn on wifi it says error underneath. Ill play with it some more tomorrow. :) Will keep you updated.

So far it seems much snappier, you lose the ability to set profiles because I can't get oc/uv beater to work, it FC everytime I open it.

Will test some more tomorrow as far as battery life and to see if I can get my wifi back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
try if fix permissions from recovery gets you WiFi back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Tried to fix permissions from recovery and from ROM manager. Both did not solve the wifi issue. The only way I could figure out to install the OC Daemon was to incorporate the files in your elitemod zip and then flash. I did remember seeing wifi fix while I was reading about the Daemon so I just need to get to a computer and pull that up and see what I need to do to get it working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Cool if you by any chance get it to work the way it's intended (ie. deactivates itself once SetCPU gets installed), PM me the required files please so I don't have to reinvent the wheel ;) Umaro confirmed new release so expect new ROM on saturday-sunday with latest nightly and some extra speed :) With a little luck update without wipe though no promises, I haven't seen the new kernel yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Will do, once I figure it out I will send you all files and what I changed. I can't wait for that, I'm super excited. Hopefully I can get this working by then too so we can have a new ROM with many new additions!

PS. This is my first venture into dev for phones. So its requiring a lot of reading on my part. Promise I will figure it out asap :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Nik3r, I got it working and sent you a PM. I'm not sure if the PM went through because it's not showing up in my "sent" list. Let me know if you received it please.

PS. If it did go through I might have sent it to you 3 times lol sorry.

EDIT!!!!!!

I forgot to mention, that would be a full flash with a nandroid backup and a full wipe. I couldn't get it to work any other way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gkenga:
Can't wait! I really like the current version but I noticed the color effect in Camera is broken. Sucks but I hope the new one upgrades tenfold :D Looking forward to flashing this weekend :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FoFoo:
next release

looking forward to it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New version

Since Umaro is still working on the new kernel I thought I would at least give you a sneak peek of what is to come. I'm just uploading a new version based on nightly #209, it has modded umaro's kernel 1.06 with call recording patch and a few more tweaks.

To name a few:

- fixed camera effects

- updated DSP speaker profile (old settings are not compatible with new manager)

- some performance tweaks (for better or worse - we'll see)

- support for Virtuous OC daemon (install SetCPU to disable it, uninstall to enable)

- default undervolting profile (for people who don't care, the tailored real deal is far better)

- default market is now the old one to prevent problems on non-us locales

- base updated to nightly #209 (obviously)

You can flash over old EliteMod, just wipe cache and dalvik afterwards - requires a reboot as well. It was dodgy for me but eventually booted and was OK, first start may take a sweet time on the green HTC logo - it's fixing permissions and a lot of installed apps may slow it down.

DOWNLOAD LINK:

DO NANDROID FIRST! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kokoskokis544:
alternative download link pls

tried to download the rom several times but the downloading process always stops just after 50%. i dont know if there is something wrong with the server..any alternative download link pls??

edit: tried without a download manager..same thing..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] charlieton:
thank you so much!

Nik3r. Just wanted to say thank you for this fantastic rom! I see that 209 is out! awesome work.

I get the most stunning battery life on this rom by far in comparison.

this after running elitemod 186 for a couple of days. i just had to share.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gkenga:
THANK YOU!!! Flashing now :DDDD This is new favorite ROM :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Not trying to be a pain, but do you have the kernel alone for download?

Or is it the same you are linking in first post and have for a while?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
it's the same one by churchmice. Umaro has some issues with the new build so it might take a while longer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gnurf:
Oh, to bad.

I have FCs on VC controller (other ROM) and got my hopes up for a new version that fixed it.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noob15:
hello i am just wondering is it possible to get lpp to work on this rom because it seems that it will not register the unlocker i got from the market... would be nice to have those widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
No idea why the plus unlocker wouldn't work for you but you can always delete com.EM.LauncherPro.apk from /system/app/ and install it as normal app from market. But be advised - you need at least one launcher present or the system will bootloop. You can temporarily install ADW from /data/local.

I also recommend backing up LP settings first (or even titaniumbackup data) so that you can transfer all tweaks to market version.

Basically:

adb remount
adb pull /data/local/ADWLauncher.apk ADWLauncher.apk
adb install ADWLauncher.apk
adb shell
# rm /system/app/com.EM.LauncherPro.apk
# exit
adb reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
My LPP works fine everything works except my gmail widget, I don't know if its from this ROM though as I haven't really tried it with anything else. Maybe ill nandroid and try it with a different ROM soon and post an update.

But as far as the LPP it installs and works fine without any extra steps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajm2387:
The GMail widget is broken due to a change on Google's side.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coredalae:
could you maybe post your auto backlight settings? wanna use them on a diff rom, but yours were the best! :o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gkenga:
Nevermind :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
i run 209

What are the recommended settings for Daemon Controller?

its default is set at 768min, 950max Smartass on Wake State

and 245min, 768max Scary on Sleep State
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well obviously, the defaults are recommended. Adapt them to your UV peaks of course.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coredalae:
Thanks tons for your levels, just started playing with UV a bit as well, combined they should save me some batt ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
I'd like to start with a copliment. Great idea of putting together a highly optimized version of CM7. And the execution seems to be rather fine as well, no real complaints ;)

A couple questions though. I noticed that the kernel you use doesnt offer the greaselightning governor but umaros kernel does. Did you tinker around with it and its a very specific version of umaros kernel? Noticed it when I had a look at the governors available. And what does greaselightning do anyway..?

Second question is a question of taste and personal preference. Do you see a way to somehow influence the installation process to have certain thing retained or removed? I for example, living in europe, have to fight the wifi calling app after every single rom update. This app really is a pain to fully get rid of including all libs and stuff.

And then theres the camera app, I have to confess I like the newest stock cam better than miui's cam. Replacing that one, moving the stock cam to /system, migrating the setting and all that is quite... well, the process could be improved if you know what I mean :p Do you see any possibility get this done without causing to much work? Just asking...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yes this is a modded version with call recording support, greaselightning I think is much similar to smartass, but it won't even come close after my tweaks.

Uhm... not likely. Write an adb script that does all the stuff you need in one click. :D

But you are right about the wifi calling thingie.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1rome:
First time flashing this rom, its snappier than any other rom I've used. Will see how's the bettery on this one =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Well I'm the best tester there is but the storie pretty much ends there without being instructed any further :D Ok, seriously. Is an "adb script" something specific or are you basically just refering to a BAT or CMD file with the instructions put in which will be run on the host Windows machine (or whatever...)?

Or could that be achieved with an update.zip with the respective scripts inside? I'm asking because I guess theres more than just me and I would do it for anyone interested, I just dont yet know how to... :o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SwordLaker:
Have been trying for days, besides the horrible speed, I could not manage to get the whole file off your servers successfully.

Any alternate option for me? How about Multiupload?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Mirror :Link
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
is this going to be updated or has nothing major changed in the nightlies ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Don't worry, there will be an update.

I prefer less frequent, reliable updates than bleeding edge as this is supposed to be a high performance + long battery daily driver ;) It's also slightly more complicated to update to new base than your regular ROM due to the nature of tweaks included. Plus my hopes are that Umaro will stabilize his new kernel and release it any day now per his PMs, though I'm not holding my breath. But you are right the changes in last nightlies are worth the update and I will try hard to get to it sometime this week.

There are a few new tweaks I want to test first though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
No offence intended, but why base it on the nightlies then? It should base on the RC in that case, no? ;)

However, I understand the nature of your tweaking and the work involved. Brought me onto something though: the ILWT CM7 mod is basically a CM7 with modifications applied while or after flashing using scripts. Couldn't you automate the process of applying your tweaks similar to that? Like pack them all nicely up in an update.zip to be flashed over a regular CM7 nightly. Then people could benefit from latest CM7 code updates, your tweaks and you could release tuning add-on packages in your own speed.

To avoid crippled builds, a certain add-on version could be labelled (or scripted) to only work for a specific nightly or a specific range of nightlies, e.g. EliteModPlus2011-10-02.zip is recommended for usage on nightlies 208 up to 212. 213+ not yet supported, flash on own risk, full support will follow with next add-on.

What do you think?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jiddahidda:
Just wanted to pipe up and let you know how fast your ROM is. I have this habit of downloading and installing every ROM that gets released, and I run 5 Quadrants on it and compare the average result to it's CPU clock speed. Yours is the fastest so far, roughly 16 different ROM's + various updates to them over the past few months tested.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
schaggo:

Honestly the nightlies have been more stable for me than the "official" builds, especially when talking about compatibility with apps.

I see you understand how ROMs are made, actually the original idea of this mod was exactly that - a mod that you can flash over CM7 and get a turbo boost. The problem is I'm using some tweaks which are not part of /system but userspace /data. Another complication is these tweaks need to be generated again manually every time a significant change in androids settings module or other relevant apk is released. And the worst is that some data to be tweaked are generated AFTER first boot, long after init.d scripts can run. Unless I find a suitable workaround (I think impossible without recompiling all relevant modules from source myself every time) I am stuck with first boot reboot requirement and very delicate surgical modifications in userspace. Dunno about raw speed but the difference in battery life without these procedures is significant enough to justify this extra effort and added inconvenience of slower updates.

jiddahidda:

That's a good news, I never actually pitted mine against other ROMs out there, I just assumed it's fast because I never had a ROM this snappy with all my apks installed (ya - I have a LOT of them). So I made my own to fix it :rolleyes:

Just BTW I will reveal some changes planned for next release:

- no need to re-train battery stats after clean flash, you will have the ability to make battery stats persistent even through a superwipe or even use battery stats from another ROM (I have some neat ideas on how to achieve this easily)

- ability to chose between Umaro and Tiamat kernels (there will be mods to switch them because their features differ and it might render some tweaks useless if you just flash over)

- new base of the day of course

ETA: when it's done, most likely this week :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
That is good news. I am good with the latest of your releases though, it is the best running tweaked cm rom I have tried (others had lots of random freezes/shutdowns). I will be patiently waiting with this great rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coredalae:
Are you gonna include the OC daemon with OC/UV beater in the next release? this would really ease up access to undervolting for a lot of ppl :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Link me up for a review? :) I don't follow the development much as I use SetCPU or CPU Tuner with great success. Still I put a link to an UV app in the FAQ.

I advise against this though as you really do want to have a hard copy of your voltage table somewhere safe - my UV tools are better in that matter and much safer. Also UVing using an app is quite a bit slower, you can use ADB before your device even boots properly, to UV or fix a bootstuck without the need to wait for a launcher to load.

It is a viable alternative for people who want to UV on the go or linux folk who can't write scripts (I mean really??). Win users are better off doing this comfortably over ADB.

But to each his own ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Nik3r,

Any chance for an update this week since there is a new RC or are you still waiting on umaro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I am working on a new version, had some issues with recovery scripts and now they released new stable, that possibly can't be safely flashed over older nightlies like last time. I have it 2/3 ready right now but haven't flashed it yet to test. Next time a regular nightly comes out (likely tomorrow morning) I will update the base and do the necessary postprocessing before release. I have the batteru stats persistence ready BTW :)

And Umaro is silent for now so I will adapt accordingly.

EDIT: One more major feature is incoming in next build, should make your multimedia far less painful :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Awesome looking forward to it. Thanks for the work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] franceschiv:
Runtime error

Somebody seeing this errors? it's constantly showing that on logcat and not booting, either clearing the partitions or re-imaging are not working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Clean cache and dalvik and/or superwipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] franceschiv:
data, Cache, dalvik, battery.

I'm gonna try superwipe and see what happens.

...... and nope, didn't work, still on the same loop with those errors....

Wondering if this works only with certain radios, I haven't changed the original one on my Desire Z.......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New version

Quick change log:

- loads more speed than last version

- dramatically reduced stuttering under heavy load

- highly optimized Opera for butter-smooth browsing (tweaks for full wipe only)

- no more slow buggy battery-hogging 3D gallery, got permission to use something much better and faster :)

- QuickPic is now default gallery, filter out your music folders, insta-view pictures from 3rd party apps, hide and password your secret pics and so much more for free

- set K9 mail as default email app

- re-based on latest nightly, obviously

Mods changes:

- market mods now prevent updating

- kernel mods added - switch safely between Umaro and Tiamat including tweaks (Umaro is still recommended for better speed/battery balance unless you have problems)

- battery stats will get restored from SD after full-wipe installation (you need to manually save your current batt stats using my tool BEFORE WIPE ;) )

Basically when you are happy with how your battery is calibrated, flash the mod/tool to save your stats to your SD Card. The stats will be restored automatically when EliteMod detects a full wipe OR you can return to that state any time using batt stat restore tool.

IMPORTANT:

- NANDROID&/Titanium BEFORE FLASHING! You have been waned!

- Full Wipe is encouraged (I will not invasively destroy your data so Opera tweaks will not be installed without full wipe)

- Flashing over 209/186 should work (cache+dalvik wipe necessary) - the first/second boot may be stuck on HTC logo for longer period of time to deliver updates safely; patience.

- Umaro is still the recommended kernel even though it's older. I don't know about benchmarks but it feels smoother and has scary for battery saving.

- You can install the Tiamat mod now and safely move between the two kernels. Be advised you need to flash the modified versions in this thread, flashing vanilla kernels will disable kernel-specific tweaks and you don't want that.

Have fun!

BTW it's my birthday today and I am working my a.. off for you. You better enjoy this release :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neejay:
hotness...will try in a few.

EDIT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyflyguy:
Can't seem to download the rom straight to my phone no matter what browser I use. I don't have access to a computer right now, but I would like to update to 227. Has anyone been able to download from the phone's browser without an error?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] javierdihu:
I'm also unable to download 227, even through desktop.

btw, happy birthday nik3r !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
Hey, happy birthday man!!!

New Rom is looking pretty sweet. I'll get my kernel updated asap and let you know.

Keep up the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jacklc000:
No luck with download on PC....Have managed a dozen partials 127MB's the closest to complete...then just stops and seems to be complete but is not.

Finally download complete..installing now!

Don't know whats up with the download server. It just completes the download at 66 MB
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Happy birthday nik3r :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
Happy Birthday Nik3r, cant wait to test this out! :)

Thanks for the hard work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
EDIT: Downloaded and tested and everything was just fine, I will put up a mirror nevertheless.

Thanks kaijura
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Happy birthday and thanks for the hard work!! Rom download was no problem for me (downloaded with my phone on cm7). Now I am enjoying the speed and hopefully long lasting battery :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New mod added

New mod is available in the download section!

Do you use different programs for sms/contacts/email/people but like the original EliteMod dockbar style?

Just set your apps associations and flash the mod to restore original dock icons, it won't touch anything else :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Quadrants for you performance freaks :)

First maximum OC (1.9GHz performance).

Second standard smartass at 940MHz max.

Both with Umaro kernel.

EDIT: I am pretty disappointed with the Tiamat Kernel efficiency it scored over 40% less - 2620 and 2165 points respectively. And that was 2.0GHz instead of 1.9.

Umaro hurry up ^^
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FoFoo:
live wallpaper picker

Hello. Just flashed your new rom. Its amazing, nice work man.

Only one thing. I can't install LiveWallpapersPicker.apk, only LiveWallpapers.apk

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
just move both apks from /data/local to /system/app and reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FoFoo:
nice, worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jacklc000:
Virtuous OC daemon

When using the Virtuous daemon should the governers be changed to Ondemand?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
hey nik3r,

your MOD_OldMarket2.zip link is dead.

Is there anything special about your oldmarket file, or is it the same as the ones in the apps forum?

Thanks

Umaro

P.S. Saw the benchmarks, I'll hurry on the update :)
