[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
yes i will, it takes some more time for the SD-Pack to be done, have to change some things in code and to recompile the whole kernel and android. then i have to test it -> going back to wm on my phone .. give me some time :)
[HD Mini Android Development] vpx:
Hi Schlund, thank you for your hard work and effort.

But have still the same problem in GPS, I never seen GPS working on every NAND build and with this release have the same problem.

I tried GPS on in WinMo, but still with no luck in Android.

any ideas ?

Thanks
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
well, its hard for me to fix a problem i have never had myself.

My recommendation:

-Install WM again, download the google code version for SD-Card

-Boot into it, try toggling GPS on/off <-> boot back to WM and see if it works again

-repeat/play with it until you succeed

Once working in WM it should do the job in Photonic, too

You see wether it works in WM when you are able to download AGPS-Data (somewhere in settings)

i have some strange behaviour. Phone wake up screen and go black from time to time by him self ... i have no idea what is cousing that. I did clean instal with lastest files from 1st post ( 18.06.2012 ).
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
@Schlund

I installed following the instructions on the front page all OK. How do I make a battery drive recovery? maybe wipe the battery?

grazie
[HD Mini Android Development] bas.bas:
Thank you very much Schlund

I'm so glad to see a new release that I have to write something. I have not found the time to try a new release but as soon as I manage to find time, I will notify you of my impressions. and of course I'll follow the experimental builds.

People who seek help on photonic: imagine how much time is needed for programming and for answers to your questions? So please write what version you use, be clear and informative when writing about a problem, because:

well-formulated question is half answered!

Hello, in HD Mini Sense 3.5 NAND version, GPS works fine.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Pls post the output when flashing bootloader and recovery
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
He has a hardware problem that has nothing to do with the android version
[HD Mini Android Development] ssamth2003:
Thks schlund, sorry that i dont capt that screen, but the wording is as i state there, but i try many times with out success so i flash back to Munjeni LK boot loader and CM9 ICS, I have to use my phone now, I will try again tomorrow and will report to you if things happend again.

About New Rom

Hello all, first of all I would like to express many thanks schlund for his work. And now about the new release:

1) The first thing I noticed is a little jerk at work!

2) The battery drained very quickly, even though I had disabled all of which can be (auto-brightness, internet, GPS, Wi fi, Bluetooth, auto-rotation) for 12 hours I was on the phone for 30 minutes and 10 minutes played in the game, and the phone is dead!!!:confused:

3) But when I connected to the charger, it showed 50% charge,that did not happen with me, I never, even in CM9
[HD Mini Android Development] ELdaArk:
For those of us with battery drain issues, you can try the CPU Tuner app from the Google Play Store. I used the extreme power saver setting for every trigger and saw my battery use dramatically increase. At its best, I was using up 2% and hour and after about 11 hrs use today with a twenty minute charge, I still have 90% left.

This is a great solution until the battery driver is done. Hopefully, we can lessen the pressure on Schlund for a bit. :-) keep up the good work.
[HD Mini Android Development] ashu's htc:
black calling screen solved ???

anyone can tell me updated rom solve the black calling screen problem ???
[HD Mini Android Development] destiniy:
Hi everybody,

Good Job !

Just a little question when SD-BOOT R10 will be released ?

Thanks for you answer
[HD Mini Android Development] ashu's htc:
i m also waiting..???
[HD Mini Android Development] solleh.mc:
wuhooo..!:victory:
[HD Mini Android Development] destiniy:
I asked for an estimation. Not an exact date. The work is great i wish to benefit of it :D
[HD Mini Android Development] vpx:
Thanks, GPS problem solved.

I tried WinMo with SD card version of Android from 10052011, then I went to Android r169 on SD card. GPS shown on status bar. Then I flash recovery + latest NAND release and GPS is working now.

Thank you very much.
[HD Mini Android Development] draltus:
schlund when you update battery driver in your rom. if you do it your rom is perfect for daily usage. because i think the big problem is battery life.

thanks to for your hard work.
[HD Mini Android Development] solleh.mc:
Yeahh.. solved my problem too... Did e same thing...

thanx 2 schlund for his hard works

just wait 4 e battery driver...

:silly:
[HD Mini Android Development] havlaz:
is my problam of phone doesnt turn on after battery drain is fixed?
[HD Mini Android Development] destiniy:
Hi ELdaArk,

Thx for your advice. I will try the solution because i have the same probleme the battery last only 9hours !!

Thank your very much for your work Schlund. Now i have a good phone. You gave him a new life !!
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
hey guys, i think i found the big battery draining bug last evening. I wanted to make an update zip on goo, but unfortunately my phone seems to be bricked now after testing some other things. After powering on its entering SPL (tri color mode). no matter what ir which os i flash its always stuck in bootloader.. hmm if you have an idea on this, tell me!

Anyway i made a dirty kernel patch, that has to be installed over your existing system in recovery. make a backup before !

And of course, tell me about your experience!

if you have no idea what to do wait for an official update !

(DOWNLOAD SEE 1st (r11) or GOO)
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Thank you for the update.

Should we wipe battery stats also?

Sorry for your phone, i hope you will find a way (i believe there is one). I don't really have a clue, what can be done in such way, but maybe munjeni has an idea, cause he also did things with his phone like none of us.
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
I tried the "kernel patch" but I do not know if I have proceeded well:

wm> lk> cleand> flash kernel patch> cm7 Flash> Flash GAPPS -

everything seems to work now that the battery is performing well

now 66%, we will see tomorrow morning. good night

:victory:
[HD Mini Android Development] acrocosm:
kernel patch should come *after* rom flash, there;s no kernel to patch before that
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
You dont have to, if working you should feel the improvement
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
kernel patch is the last thing you have to install!

you can see wether the patch was successful when you go to settings-> info and see a kernel number greater 10, (#13) for example

still had no luck to bring my phone back, seems nand partition is broken somehow, have to try to connect via mtty to do some of the erasure tasks .. hope this will work
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
I read:

kernel version - 2.6.35.13-photonic-gc0219sec-dirtyschlund@Schlund # 19

okay?
[HD Mini Android Development] LingLOng:
Thank you schlund :)

@baggino

i installed the kernel update too, #19 seems to be ok

i made a clean installation of the rom and since 7:00h it still show me 100% battery :)
[HD Mini Android Development] kowal248:
try flash few times in a row wince rom like 3 attempts than again go to Android.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Gott IT working again... mtty and task2a did it :)

And yes, #19 is the right kernel
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Yeah, glad to hear that! :D

So, charged the phone overnight and used it today as main phone in my typical use (mostly for mobile network).

My first impression is, that battery life has improved, but its still hard to say, cause battery % values are still going up and down for me (when in use/not in use).

I dont know, if these battery rpc server calls are integrated?

About the long 100% value: its normal with nativ Android phones to stay longer on 100% and when it is in use its going down.
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
hey guys,

the battery is working fine for me. If all goes as it seems, to me is the number one rom. good at Schlund :victory:
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Nice to hear ! :)

I did not change battery driver,yet, only fixed USB ... battery driver is next!
[HD Mini Android Development] kowal248:
omg omg omg...... put update for battery driver ! :DDD
[HD Mini Android Development] draltus:
when you change batterydriver i think your rom is excellent. now battery life is better than without update
[HD Mini Android Development] siamboyecc:
Thanks a lot:good::good:

Great work

Thank you so much
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
uploaded an "undirty" version of the kernel update now, it will increase your Photonic version to "r11" EXPERIMENTAL.

You can find the link on first post, on Goo or in GooManager App!

Please do not forget to report your results !
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Little Feedback for you:

I didn't notice a big difference between dirty kernel and r11 until now, but i had the phone not fully charged and not under heavy usage.
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
hi all,

I am a big fan of this version and yesterday I've tried the updateprocedure in the first post (Instructions to UPDATE from a previous Photonic Release), but when at point 10, I get "error while flashing boot image".

now the phone is always booting in fastboot mode.

what am I doing wrong?

how can I fix this?

please help, thank you.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
try flashing bootloader & recovery again
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
tried that already 8 times, no luck.

maybe a fresh install and then use restore to put back last backup?

or format System, Data, Cache and Boot partitions?

would that work?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
ouh, forgot that step in the instructions :D you should format before restoring ..
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
okay, done that.

still the same message "error while flashing boot image" though, but continued with the procedure and this time after reboot the phone booted to android. :good:

although it seems I have a new install instead of a restore? but can live with that :)

thx Schlund
[HD Mini Android Development] ntkhoa:
Schlund,

I would like to have a clean installation with your new update. I have downloaded both folders cm-7-20120617-EXPERIMENTAL-photonic-r10.zip and update-kernel-r11.zip. Should I copy and overwrite all files from update-kernel-r11.zip folder to cm-7-20120617-EXPERIMENTAL-photonic-r10.zip folder before proceed to the installation instructions on first page?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
do the installation as described, with the difference that you also copy the update-kernel-r11.zip to your sd card and AFTER installing cm-7-20120617-EXPERIMENTAL-photonic-r10.zip in CWM recovery you do the same with the update-kernel...zip.
[HD Mini Android Development] lupoalberto74:
the r11 will drain the battery faster...I reinstalled update-kernel-dirty.zip
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
It is exactly the same Kernel ;) r11 updates build.prop .. thats all
[HD Mini Android Development] lupoalberto74:
I do not understand why the r11 discharge until the battery...I noticed this difference between the two updates....tested in equal times
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
than before the battery lasts much longer, I can use my mini full-time. I wanted to point out that the indicator of the percentage of battery charge is not reliable, but I think the thing is already known by Schlund
[HD Mini Android Development] maoz59:
Works AMAZING!

Thank you so much!!
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
First of all thank you very much for your excellent piece of work ;) Great job my friend :) Can you please be more specific on the setting that i quoted? What exactly do i have to choose? Thank you again :D
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
Settings->CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance(confirm)-> CPU Settings:

Govern: on demand

min CPU frequency: 245 Mhz

max CPU frequency: 600 Mhz

Set on boot = yes
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Excuse my ignorance, I'm about to flash this rom to my Mini when battery reaches 100% and this will be my first experience with Android (other than fiddling with friend's phones). I'm doing this just for fun and curiosity being happy WM user for long time.

So the question is: is there any way to get HTC Sense for this release ? Is it possible at all ? Is it planned in future and how hard is it to get it ported ?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
its up to the kitchen chiefs now to make an port, i gave you the ingredients ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] Chief92:
I made a Video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5B5_CpVnjY

It runs Fantastic Dankeschön schlund!
[HD Mini Android Development] Smudoooo:
can we charge the phone under this nand version or could it damage the battery or decrease our battery life?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
you can charge without any fear! Important battery features are controlled by ARM9 copr. , not by software
[HD Mini Android Development] jomaga:
Working perfect so far, great job Schlund!

Personally I don't miss sense at all, CM7 is great.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Battery usage under

GSM only mode

: 4 calls (10 min each), some wifi (about 15-20min), wifi and gps allways on, a couple of SMS..... Charged this night 100%, now 65%.

So.. very happy so far
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
My Report

In the SD-Build; everything is fine. (only I had problem when booting it first time ~30Minutes, so I ought to put battery out and run it again, also data must be 512MB to run).

And the problems I liked to be fixed is that Cut Screen, laggy or buggy Graphic (exactly the before releases are like that), with that Video bug.

And of course, Thanks to Schlund CM7.2 project, and thanks to all Devs...*

only just a Q: if a new NAND Rom or SD-Build Android release, should you remove all the data, or it's just like Update.. if known.
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
I note that:

I put the mini charging off after a short, 5 buttons light up, if I press the start button, is connected with cable usb wireless usb, no part, but I have to remove the battery to restart the device. The battery consumption is a bit inconsistent.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
thanks for all reports!

first of all i have to update the issuelist with all your reports. then i have to clean up the last updates on sources and commit them :/ then i have to make a decision what will be done next.

the audio part (bluetooth fm) doenst seem to be that complicated to fix, but the battery driver for example is really anoying me and there is much more work to do -.-

but whatever will be the next fix i will make a update, too, if you want :)
[HD Mini Android Development] kira1511:
thanks for all what you do schlund to make CM7 work in our HD mini :D

I think that video recording and FM radio is the difficulte issue for now , because in all the realeses ( CM6 , sense , cm7 ..) it wasn't working ; I hope that you will fix it in this one :D

another thx for what u did :D
[HD Mini Android Development] jomaga:
Thanks a lot Schlund. Battery is a bit inconsistent but IMHO not very important now, but audio bluetooth is a must for driving, so 1 vote for audio if you don't mind.

Btw, it's possible to fix audio stereo from headphones?

thanks!
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
Does anyone else have problem with importing/accessing SIM contacts ? Stock contact app import thing says there is no contacts on SIM. I checked on other phones that SIM contacts are there, then downloaded two apps to manage SIM contacts and they show no contacts at all.

Is this a common bug or problem on my side ?
[HD Mini Android Development] cbolumar:
+1 Bluetooth

Schlund, thank's for all your work , GPS , wifi data, .... all is working very well.

If you are selecting your new fix , for me , the most important problem is the bluetooth . I need it working in my car.

If someone need video : Videocam ilusion works.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
It is a know problem with all aosp androids and HTC phones, if you google that issue you will find hundrets of entries. Only solution is backup with other os or phone and import in cm7. I recommend syncing with google :)
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
We're Very Thankfully, Great job. ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] swissly:
Schlund, also from my side thank you very much for your great work!! :)

As for the remaining bugs it is also clear for me: I need my phone for work, I need to phone with my phone and not to play. So bluetooth is essential, other things like video are nice to have but not really necessary. This is my opinion...

And is there nobody who can help Schlund with the battery? Is this not something every phone running Android has to handle? And the hardware cannot be that different, is it??
[HD Mini Android Development] Mystikal57:
The battery consumption is very important for me, i don't use bluetooth lol

But sorry, i can't help you with this problem :(
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Last feedback for today:

Charged overnight and restarted the phone in the morning.

Took it in my pocket to work, where i had a look at it. Everything looked fine, battery values were at -50mA to -60mA (round about).

Back into pocket. At 12 h break out of the pocket, display & charging/notification light are on and phone think it is charging.

Reboot, and unticked in settings "Always Active" (while charging)

After that no problem with drain for the rest of the day.

Or should i tick "Always Active" on again?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
thanks for reporting, i noticed the same behavior.

either there is something wrong with the interrupts (this would explain some other strange things) or its buggy code in battery driver,

have to do some test to find out
[HD Mini Android Development] acrocosm:
I hope you are exchanging knowledge with munjeni on the battery matter. His ICS rom has brilliant battery life.

I can't come over the fact that I have managed to get almost full 3 days of usage with some calls and wifi. I had never been able to get as much even on official WM rom. The usage counter is not reliable, it seems like when it's sleeping it doesn't count the time but not always. For example I disconnect the charger at 9.00 and at 20.00 it could say it's being on battery for 2h 30m. Althought not perfectly it's still the best I have experienced so far and the reason I keeping it for everyday usage even with the gps/camera/audio quality issues.
[HD Mini Android Development] Holzbrett:
Hey Schlund,

great work! Can you tell when we can expect the updated SD-Build?

Thanks!
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
in my opinion, at present, an SD version is useless, it's just a waste of time, better to focus solely on Nand
[HD Mini Android Development] draltus:
is there any updates about battery driver?
[HD Mini Android Development] elgendy:
I defiantly agree with you.
[HD Mini Android Development] billomon:
Hi,

first, thx for your good job,

but do you had fixe the battery problems?

(I'm sorry I'm French, so sorry for the mystakes)
[HD Mini Android Development] Benjos:
can you explain me were exactly in settings you find "Always Active" (while charging) because i didn't manage to find it
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Settings -> Apps -> Development -> Always Active (In germany "Aktiv lassen")

Edit:

In english language it's called "Stay awake"
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Schlund, where are you? We need you!
[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
For a nice ICS Feeling on Schlund's CM 7 ROM i recommend the following:

- Holo Launcher

- Holo Locker (from Jelly Bean)

- Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 Theme mdpi

© Pictures @ Google Play

To keep the thread alive ;) :angel:
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
Cool!

Does 'Ice Cream Sandwich MDPI Theme' require any other soft?

Have installed the theme but can not see where to activate it.
[HD Mini Android Development] ajoygupta:
Sound Quality update

Any updates for media / sound quality.

No stereo sound in CM 7

Thanx
[HD Mini Android Development] draltus:
schlund where are you. we are waiting good news from you. :)
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
Finally got the time to test this Android version. Installation went very easy, thanx schlund for your clear instructions! Will report back when i have used it for some time :).

Hopefully you will proceed your development on this great rom! cheers :)
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
Have been playing around with this rom for approx one day. Here are my initial findings.

Performance = very good / smooth graphics (and very fast boot!)

Camera (photo function) = OK

GPS = OK (GPS fix takes more time than with WM6.5)

Wifi = Not tested

3G phone conversations = OK (No black screens until now)

3G internet = OK

Battery drain = Bad (phone becomes pretty warm)

Charging battery when phone is powered off = buggy (phone led and button lights stay on when disconnecting power cable, need to pull the battery)
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
Schlund hello, are you working on a project or have some surprises in Serbian?

I ask this because we all look forward to your best project.

good holiday ..........

:)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
keep calm, i am still working on it ;)

Actually i am just doing to get jtag working, happily with great support of munjeni,

with hope to get liberty rom working on photon, and finding a possibility to hack bootloader
[HD Mini Android Development] thethiny:
Hi, is there anyway I can copy the apps I have to this new one? I have the old CM7.2 (before r10) , and I have 90% most of the games , how can I save them? thanks!

Also , how can I update only (instead of reinstalling the new rev)
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:
Hey, the easiest way to transfer your games/apps is to download and use the Titanium Backup app.

After the new Rom installation you have simply to install the Titanium Backup app again and restore your apps ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] solleh.mc:
Schlund or anybody...

My battery indicator seems not stable.. example the battery showing left 78%... the next minute 82%.. then the next minute 68%..

Why is that?

p/s: pardon me for my bad english..
[HD Mini Android Development] baggino:
This problem, I think it should be fixed with the next release. When FM radio will work, I'm not going to ask you anything to this rom :silly:
[HD Mini Android Development] kowal248:
any news :> ? how things are going :>?
[HD Mini Android Development] caplicornus:
wifi problem

wifi always error.

what should I do?

thanks.
