[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
No stable release until the final release of 7.1 comes along, the RC2 release will be classed as experimental.

I fully recommend running the nightlies. They are my code built automatically with the latest cyanogenmod code. 1.0.5 is out of date now.

1) That's correct behaviour.

2) The notification colour is default CyanogenMod behaviour, you can customise it to your liking in spare parts.

The "LED fix" in 1.0.5 was that spare parts was using the wrong LED colour when you selected a specific one. Green was Orange and Orange was Green. This fix is in the nightlies, as well as a bunch of others.

Thanks =) If enough people want the notification LED as green, I'l see if I can find where it's configured in CM and change it to green as default for you.

Correct.

Chasing this up, will let you know the outcome.

Those apps are automatically built from the latest source each night, if they're out of date it's because the CM source is slightly behind. What are you basing them being out of date on?

Nexx 1.0.5 vs Nightlies:

There's a lot of mis-information floating about regarding this. I figured it was time to set the record straight.

The "Nexx" builds were a way to get CyanogenMod out there for our phones until we could get the nightly builds running. They're aren't "stable" and are quite outdated now as all my changes go directly to the CyanogenMod gerrit to be included in the next nightly once they are approved.

Again, the "Nexx" builds were temporary, now that nightlies are being automatically created you should use those. No-one says you have to update every night ;)

I'm considering requesting that the other thread be closed and to start a fresh one once RC2 is released. Really no-one should be using those builds any more, unless you don't want the latest updates (and a lot has been done since 1.0.5!).

I hope this clears this matter up =)

Finally:

I wanted to extend a big thank you to those of you who have sent thanks and donations my way. It's really wonderful to know people appreciate the work I've put into this and it's a great incentive to continue doing so.

So, once again, thank you =)
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Superuser app was updated in the market, upon running it, it asks that the superuser binary needs to be updated as well. Flash a new nightly, superuser app remains updated but binary (presumably in /system) needs to be updated again. And apps requiring root start behaving oddly.

Thanks for bringing CM7 to this level. :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
CM7 = perfect, all thanks to you Nexx.
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
What is the best kernel now?

tiamat or cm?

Also is the cm7 kernel actively being developed?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Personally I recommend Tiamat, the power consumption is much better.

As for the maintenance of the stock CM kernel, it will get updates as and when they are needed, but it doesn't get new features. It's mainly there to include in the ROM, a stock CM ROM with a stock CM kernel =)
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
Thanks for the update :)

After coming from HTC Buzz with cm7 - the stock kernel included there was tip top with smartass governor etc and top battery consumption, hope we can get some good input on it :/
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
Nexx says we should be using the Nightlies because it much more updated. then im going to. :* thanks!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Just one thing - we don't need to wipe when updating nightlies right? Just cache and dalvik cache would do?
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, tried it before and it worked without any problems!
[HTC Desire S] f0xy:
You can wipe all just not data partition.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That is -

Format sytem

Format cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Install rom

Right?

Wiping data and doing a wipe data/factory reset isn't required right?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
1) Format Cache

2) Wipe Dalvik-Cache

3) Install ROM

4) Install Tiamat again if you were using it before

Done =)

No need to format system, the ROM installer does that.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Thanks Nexx
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Just wondering, what is the actual benefit/purpose of formatting cache and dalvik-cache, when installing an incremental upgrade?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Nothing. Just to avoid issues.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
Running the latest nightly and so far it works great! Just ran through LaKravens excellent battery guide as well.

One thing i don't really like about CM is the stock look, are there any themes out there that will work on this ROM?

And a while back when i ran CM on my hero there was an alternate call screen to avoid muting the call and so on, you had to pull the number dialer up, can that one be flashed on this rom, is so, where can i find it?

Gratitude for this awesome rom!
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
All themes for CM7 will work... like LunarUI 2.6 or other one...

a good place to start is the app Theme Chooser Themes

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
My pleasure =)

Exactly correct. Technically you don't have to wipe the cache and dalvik-cache, but I recommend doing so to avoid problems.
[HTC Desire S] bjohv052:
Search for "teamcarbon" on market and you'll find my favorites. They also have a thread on xda that offers metamorph additions that theme lockscreen. Worth every penny.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Are you using the stock kernel?

Tiamat kernel has issues with sound on CM nightly builds.

[HTC Desire S] baqai:
no i am not on stock kernel, is there any way of going to stock kernel?
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Don't use tiamat kernel with cm for now... and flash boot.img from build which you using. It is in flashable zip
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
Edit - has started working again on its own a couple of hours later, weird
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
Read above in this thread - don't use tiamet kernel with 7.2.0
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
I hear u and clean install should be foolproof but takes a lot more time, nit something I want to do over and over again
[HTC Desire S] MarlX:

[HTC Desire S] baqai:
Thanks i reflashed with the stock kernel and now sound is coming, Is there any way of restoring my previously installed applications along with their data? I had contacts missing which i sorted out by syncing to my gmail account, Now what i am missing are the sms which were handled by HandCentSMS, so far so good coming from HTC Sense this ROM does not have the visual effects of HTC Sense but does seems to be faster and i think better on battery :)
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Here are a few possibilities todo that:

"SMS Backup+" for SMS and call log

"MyBackup (pro)" for SMS, apps and settings

Or if you rooted your phone with the original ROM, use "Titanium Backup" to backup just everything. I'd recommend using this!

Either way, you "actively" have to do your backup, it's not done automatically! So...

1. do a Nandroid backup with ROM Manager, then restore your old ROM (root with SuperOneClick (--> google it!) if not rooted yet)

2. Install Titanium Backup and go to batch mode. Do a complete backup.

3. Restore your Cyanogen backup

4. Install Titanium Backup, go to batch mode again and restore everything!

5. Restart, and your apps and messages will be back!

6. Give feedback if it worked and say thank you! ;-)
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
I'm finding 7.2.0 worse on battery life (interactive governor, no overclocking) than 7.1 stable with tiamet and smartass v2 governor.

Together with the intermittent 3g connection problems I'm getting I might have to revert back to 7.1 I think :(
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
I had no problems with 3g internet on 7.2. And use condemand.

sad day for me today... :( i restore my backup from ROM Manager, how ever... when it rebooted it got stuck on HTC White screen, so waiting for a long time, i tried to pull the battery out. then when i press power it wont power up, it vibrates... cannot fastboot, recover. not even LED light when plug on usb charger... T_T i think my phone got bricked. i am coming from CM9, restoring to CM7.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Bummer! Sorry to hear!

Next time: push vol up, vol down and power at the same time for a few seconds, and your phone will shut down and reboot. That's the only safe way! Never just pull the battery!

Btw: it's a chip that's f***ed up. There's a thread in the forum about this somewhere.
[HTC Desire S] scrack26:
tried almost everything, but the problem is laptop cannot detect the usb so that i can fastboot or recover. but everytime i press volume - and power, it vibrates then nothing.. no screen. no power. nothing.. :(
[HTC Desire S] adix631:
He's right. This is the easiest way to burn your chip...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
In all your days with this phone on xda, what is the ONE thing that EVERYBODY told you NOT to do? Answer : Pull the battery!! :eek:

I'm very sorry to hear what happened buddy :(, and you may or may not recover your device, but it amazes me to see how so many people on this forum are still pulling their batteries despite full knowledge of what it may do... so while in 99 out of a 100 cases, nothing bad may happen...there is that 1% which cannot be overlooked. If you KNOW what a battery pull might do...and you STILL DO IT nevertheless, i don't know what to say...:confused:

I am sympathetic towards what happened to you, and i hope you can fix your device, or get it replaced/repaired under warranty. But this was a completely avoidable situation, and you could have just waited till the battery discharged over time (it's not a nuclear reactor you know..., it will eventually run out of charge) and the phone shut down on it's own, even if the three button restart combo was not working... Pulling the battery is like deliberately wanting to kill your phone...! :rolleyes:

Best of luck getting your phone fixed brother. I really pray that you do. And I hope you, and other readers here can learn an important lesson from all this. It is better to listen to advice like "Do not pull battery under any circumstance", rather that screwing up your phone royally later on, and asking for advice with questions like "I ****ed up my phone by pulling battery despite what all of you advised me. Now while i unabashedly neglected your previous advice, i want to pester you for new advice on how to fix it!":mad:

LEARN people!! On the Desire S, you are not justified in doing a battery pull. For WHATEVER reason!
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
My phone freeze sometime and I cant do anything with it. Soft restart not working only batt pull out...

Usb comm not worked too
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Probably you undervolted it too much...
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
As said earlier, if you want to be absolutely sure to not frie your DS then wait for an empty battery. But before waiting a few hours you can try the following:

Hold VOL UP + DOWN and press the POWER button

If that doesn't work open a CMD/shell and type:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot erase cache OR fastboot erase userdata (more or less a factory reset)

fastboot reboot

(optionally) fastboot reboot bootloader - go into recovery and flash another ROM

if that doesn't work you have to wait a few hours to emty your battery

You should wonder yourself why it freezes so much though. Most likely it's a corrupt ROM/app or you have OC-ed too much. Make a backup and flash a new ROM and see if that helps
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
Pulling the battery doesn't really killed his phone. Last time my phone hanged, I didn't pull the battery, I used the 3 button combo. Then I need to send my phone to htc for repair.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Not undervolted.

[HTC Desire S] cuppacup:
after update go to setting -> about phone...

name of your new rom will be stated there...
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
Yes... but I have before first Jorgens update and now I have in "About phone" this information: Mod version- Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-RC0-DesireS-Jorgen

And when I had Jorgens first build I had this same version...
[HTC Desire S] cuppacup:
ops!! my bad! sorry about that. i have no idea actually. how about the build no? is it same for both version?
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
I don't remember build No... but now I have GWK74....

I think in new Jorgens build is new style of lock screen.... but I don't have new style... in CyanogenMod settings->Lock screen->Style settings->Lock screen style I have only 3 options... (shift tab, rotary, ray)
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
The latest build has the Holo ringstyle. You can find it in Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Lockscreen - Style options - Ring-Lock style. All older builds only have the Bubble and Revamped style. The Holo style is a bit more like ICS has
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
yes... I found this options... but if I set Language on Slovakia, I don't see ring options.... I must set English, then select ring options in lock screen style and then set Slovakia language... it's small issue but it work pefectly. Thanks a lot for help.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Btw: no need to rename the file for the next time! Makes life a little easier ;-)
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
ok thanks for tip.... I'm new in flashing ROMs

Other steps which I do are correctly?
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Thanks, but I can't see "Holo" or "Minimal" lock screen options?
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Yeah, i think so! Just select the file in rom manager, leave the 'wipe dalvik' checked and you'll be fine!

In case you want to try other ROMs some day, make a backup with titanium backup, then same procedure as above, but check 'wipe data' too. After the restart, your new rom will be on, and you can restore apps and data again with titanium backup. (And it's worth to buy the pro version by the way!)
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
Ring style has to be ring.
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
First make sure you have the Ring style in "Settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Lockscreen - Style options - Lockscreen style". Once you selected that there should be a style specific option called Ring-Lock style where you'll find the option to select the Holo style

[HTC Desire S] Bulkatos:
Hello,

I don't know if it an issue, but after a fresh flash (I come from MIUI with full wipe!) I can see in the batterystats, that the phone is always aktiv. Is this normal or did I something wrong?

And I think that I have a bad battery life time. Still I'm writing this, the battery goes from 96 to 91 percent. If a load the battery the LED glow green from 90 to 100 percent. But I think it should glow green only at 100%.

Sent from my HTC Desire S using SwiftKey X.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
Green at 90% is "as designed". It is ok.

[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
Lithium ion batteries can be preserved by careful charging and avoiding storing them at full charge.[6] They do not require "reconditioning." The other thing is battery calibration where you need to charge battery to 100%. But you need to do it just once for fresh ROM.
