Yes, I know it must be 512Mb but I think the question is that it cannot create the full data.ext2 file and, for some reason, HaRET stucks at 136MB and cannot reach 512MB.

I was wondering why that didn't happen with other Android ports and is happening only with this CM7.2 port :confused:

I already formatted the SD and tried from scratch but always the same result.

One more question: the data.ext2 being created on the first boot is always the same? is it the same for all users?

If so, could someone share it ?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
yes seems some people having a problem there, will fix this lil bug!
[HD Mini Android Development] Vogelhaus7:
---sry false post---
[HD Mini Android Development] brontolo999:
Short update: CM7.2 creates the data.ext2 file of 136Mb in about 20 minutes (at least with my SD) and then stucks!!

Hope you'll do that very soon :p I can't wait to try your work

After a little more testing I noticed that there are still problems with battery. The phone was fully charged and in idle state for about 10 hours with all off except telephony and it was off. After booting up again with charger connected, it showed 35% remaining battery.

Also the % values seems wrong some times. After an hour of heavy use, it was still at 100%...
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
will be the next topic!

for those that can't wait until i uploaded new sd-boot release AND ONLY IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS ON FIRST BOOT!!!

use the kernel in attachment, extract it to sd-card and start a new installation!
[HD Mini Android Development] andyecht:
After 13h of usage, the battery drain is nice. Actually status 56%.

NAND is very good working, fast and nearly no probs. One time, the screen rotated to 90° and didn´t came back. After restart it was ok.

Only during loading, the 5 lights are lightening, also when phone is switched off.

Is it normal? When switched on and loading, LED is between orange and green.

I will leave the phone running until it switched off because of no battery power.

I will post later, when it is switched off.

[HD Mini Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Hi Zalaros.

Did you have GPS switched on or off (in SD-Version), before you flashed Nand Version again?
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
The first time i checked it was on but when i rebooted in windows gps didn't work. Then i run haret again and switched the gps off but in windows the gps didn't work again. Again run haret for the 3rd time, switched gps back to on and then gps started working in windows. After that i flashed android in nand and gps is working perfectly now ;) So i guess that it doesn't matter whether it is on or off in sd-version. It think it just needs to be switched on and off to get it working. But that's just my thought and i'm not so sure about it.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
ok to make it clear to everyone:

When charging, the LED will be a mix of Amber & Green, this is to make clear that its charging, amber is for warnings (like empty battery) and green is for notifications. i know it differs from previous version but its how it should work :)

When phone is off and you plug the charger the phone boots silent to charge. Thats why the button lights are turned on sometimes. This is not really working good, i know. But no reason to be scared: Charging works, its managed by hardware, so its SAFE!
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
I just saw a version called ( * NEW * Cyanogen Mod 7.2.0 NAND / Kernel: 6.2.35 (by Me )) by a member called "savvas" in 4pda forum. What's the difference from schlund's version?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
hi schlund

I was waiting few days so i can give an accurate feedback about battery life on your nand version and i must say it's AWESOME!;)

today after 12 hours in standby was used only 10% of battery..so less than 1% in an hour!:D

great job schlund(as always);)

P.S. for guys having problems with battery drain ,get the program called autostarts and remove apps which you installed from startup,because that can be the reason of battery draining fast..
[HD Mini Android Development] :
I hope Schlund wont mind if i answer this question :D

Apparently savvas (another russian hero of our hd mini community ;) ) from 4pda forum made nand version before Schlund but it had some problems (GPS not working and few others). Here is the changelog of his newest version:

-	gps fixed (Thanks to Schlund)

-	applied fewcpu patches

-	fixed ARM11 “going to sleep”

-	new battery driver (feom Schlund)

-	few changes and cleanings done in battery driver

-	fixed internet breaks

-	cleaned unneeded stuff from kernel

-	added tweaks to mobile internet

-	added 4pda ,App&Games 4pda,Wifi Tether apps

-	changed adw launcher to adw launcher ex

-	lasted Cyanogenmod from git

-	added changes in kgsl and pmem

-	added some gods power and few secret ingredients

I will test it and let you know how good it is if you're interested. I'm on Schlunds version and its great (except for 2 freezes, and some battery problems)
[HD Mini Android Development] andyecht:
Thanks Schlund,

battery drain is really Perfect. Actually 38% after 16h, last 4h with Wifi.

Now it would be perfect if Bluetooth Audio and BT handset would work....

THX a lot,

Andy
[HD Mini Android Development] fabian_s:
Just wanted to report back. Battery seems to last forever! 16h and 40min running now and still got 80% Oo that seems really strange to me but well it is still on.

I did wifi, calls, sms ...well everything but 3g and gps. GPS does not work because of the known bug.

Thx really great rom so far!
[HD Mini Android Development] ericsonicsson:
Well, it does not look like a hardware issue, when phone boots up colors are correct and backlight auto-ajustment works fine. Wake up of the display makes it like 4-bit colors.

There was no disassemble and in WM phone was OK as and with early SD builds.

Anyway as it is not a common issue I will try to update to next builds to see if issue will gone.
[HD Mini Android Development] jumperfreak:
After 2 days and 1 hour still 56% battery left :cool:

Great work Schlund!
[HD Mini Android Development] pravarth:
Really? Did you even use the phone at all?

The phone is dying by afternoon after about 2 hrs of call (2g). All other radios off. Running an almost barebones setup.

I'm not really complaining. I just want to know how you did it.
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
After clearing caches and battery stats, some fine tuning of various settings I managed to get rid of most of my problems.

Battery is stable now. On battery use graph, instead of up/down spikes it shows nice slope when using radio and apps and stays flat when on standby. I'm really happy with this. I also fine tuned some settings like disabling wake/sleep animation, no wallpaper, ringtones to audible minimum etc. Generally disabling everything which is not essential.

Will report on USB transfer/sleep behavior later.

Is it normal to android phones that they boot from off when connected to charger/pc or should it stay off ?

Also, is it possible on android that app will switch on the data radio automatically like it was on windows or when I manually set data off there is no way any service will access data transfer. I don't remember but I think that before I started messing with settings/power widget when I entered market it connected to net. Maybe I had Data Always On set. Hmm, can someone clarify ?

This whole Android thing is very promising. Never going back to Windows :)
[HD Mini Android Development] MobileMini:
Hi, I am currently not running Android, but will do so again when Android is stable enough for daily use! My question, there are many tips and tricks about tweaking Android for maximizing battery time. Can you recall which you used for optimizing your phone?

Maybe making a small list of tweaks, so we all can add to the list and make some sort of battery optimization tutorial :). I can remember somebody did that before, but with the new nand version an update would be welcome ;).
[HD Mini Android Development] prohibeat:
^ This:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1241694

and google and experiments. I'm still experimenting to see what really saves battery and what sacrifices do not and are not really needed. There is nice graph in android that shows how quickly battery is drained during given period so you get feedback after changes in settings.

From my experience this release is stable enough for daily use for now. I had some problems during first day and was worried but after tweaking it runs really good. Things like fm radio or video recording are not essential for me but it would be great to see finished release. Good luck Schlund :)
[HD Mini Android Development] pravarth:
I think i have found a bug.

Whenever i receive a call when im using the wired headset the other person cant hear what i say. It works if i switch on speaker but otherwise no. This happens only in this scenario.

It works fine when i use the headset and call the other person, the problem is only for incoming calls. im using the nand build

Can anyone else confirm this?
[HD Mini Android Development] halybobo:
3g don't work on my device , plz fix it
[HD Mini Android Development] jumperfreak:
also a barebone setup.

Set cpu performance to the most min and max as possible and ondemand.

I'll have to admit that I don't call a lot. maybe 10 mins this charge.

Got exchange push though and a lot of sms messages.

Most of the time he's on Edge or HSDPA.

I'm not yet very familiar to CM7, used it a couple of days now and so far I'm very pleased with it, but it seems there is no dutch dictionary included?

when typing a message, there are no proposed words.

it works when changing the dictionary to english though... so I guess there is only the english dictionary included?

can one get other dictionaries and install them in CM7?

I will test the sd version.

... And a big thank you for your work !
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Today i haven't used gprs or 3g at all and everything works perfectly. I'm 100% sure that gprs and/or 3g cause huge battery drain.
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
already searched everywhere, tried AnySoftKeyboard, but no luck.

I'm having issues right now with android market again... (android.process.media stopped working).

had this before, did a factory reset and issues stopped.

but now they are back :(

it looks they emerge after pulling out and putting back the SD-card, have to test this more to be sure though.

any suggestions on that? its annoying to change all my settings over and over again after a factory reset.
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
on EVERY CyanogenMod: (you will find it in their wiki):

if you get android.process.*** stopped messages: type fix_permissions to terminal.. EDIT: (see 2 posts below for howto)
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
thx Schlund,

tried with the terminal, but no luck.

tried fixing with reboot to recovery, it's much worse now, lots of errors!
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
honestly i have never tried recovery method :D

ok try following (did it myself now):

enter terminal

-enter "su"

-confirm superuser request

-enter "fix_permissions" (if keyboard is hidden press windows button and toggle keyboard)

-if backlight lowers before finished touch display

you should now see it changing permissions (no permission denied messages)
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
have done it exactly like you, with su and touching display and all that.

I'm resetting to factory again now :D
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
can confirm .. the recovery method was a really bad idea :) phone is going crazy now ..

the terminal version is safe!

BTW: if you have set up a system with all your apps, contacts etc, make a backup in recovery !

If you do something wrong later you can simply restore it in recovery :)
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
I will try that this time.

thx!

I'm such a n00b :D
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
So no one can confirm the battery drain when using gprs in 2g or 3g? If i am the only one then something else is causing the battery drain and i have to find it. That's why i'm asking ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
having 160 mA with display on (auto brightness at normal daylight) with HSDPA on .. so unfortunately NO :(

EDIT: when brightness is set to 30% drain is about 100 mA
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Ok schlund thank you for your reply. Any idea on how to find out what's causing the battery drain? Any app that I could install and see what's going on?
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
try what happens if you coose gsm auto (prl) in the hidden phone menu
[HD Mini Android Development] zalaros:
Ok i will try it tomorrow and let you know the results. Thank's again and congratulations for your great work :D
[HD Mini Android Development] ¨K¨:
okay, I made a backup in recovery.

where does the phone saves the backup, is it on the SD-card?
[HD Mini Android Development] edition-:
Yes it's inside the sdcard :)

Probably on this folder /clockmodwork/backups/
[HD Mini Android Development] ecstasynathan:
I have tried the SD card version but the the screen freezes as soon as i run HAret.it remained the same for almost 20mins. i had to remove the battery to get it back to Winmo.

I tried NAnd already but was experiencing huge battery drain. so switching back to WIn mo was not so easy while in work. so am prefering to using the sd version till the battery is fixed.

Appreciate any help...

I tried changing a few settings and whatnot but to no avail....do you guys have any ideas as to how i could fix this problem?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrapster:
It is with a heavy heart that I must post a question.

I have scoured not only the forums but the internet as a whole for the answer, yet can find none..

Still I am prepared for flaming if I have missed the obvious somewhere. That is how much I would like an answer to this one! :)

So here goes...

I would like to change my boot animation.

I am running Westcrip's resurrection v7.3 ICS XXLP2 with 3.0.13-I9100XXKP8-CL42141 se.infra@SEP-53 #3.

Is this possible?

....there, I said it!

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1. Choose a boot animation,

2. it must be named bootanimation.zip,

3. place the zip in system/media,

4. reboot/enjoy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrapster:
Many thanks Mudferret.

However, when I do this (I previously tried this & have just tried again to check) I get no animation. Just a blank screen & the audio, not even the Samsung stock animation.

I dont think I need to remove the 'bootsamsung.qmg' or 'bootsamsungloop.qmg' from what I have read. So I'm starting to think that the rom / kernel do not support custom animation.

If anyone knows better please let me know.

Ta.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Assuming that like other CF kernels BA's are supported on KP8 it should work just fine.

Does the ROM come with a custom ba already, or is it stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamaliqwan:
im facing the same problem...blank screen with sound...

so whats that?im always change my bootanimation before on GB but now i cant!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Perhaps try data/local/bootanimation.zip
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
Is there even bootanimation.zip support in the ICS kernels? I don't think there is... Might be wrong though. Considering we don't really have kernel source for ICS, I strongly doubt it was built in to stock kernels. You might just have to wait for the first custom kernel to incorporate it. We don't have BLN either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
There is in AOSP (no kernel source yet either).

And there likely is in TW as well; Chainfire just modifies the stock kernel to support it.

If the ROM mentioned above does have a custom ba it will likely be in system/media (slim chance it's in data/local). If the ba that the user is replacing it with doesn't work, then there's something wrong with the zip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrapster:
Thanks both.

Stock BA, and data/local/ doesn't work either Mudferret.

Guessing you may well have it right there karendar.

Hardly the end of the world for me I geuss, and certainly not worth going back for! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Pre install .

In a custom rom open with winrar win zip or whatever .

Use the ADD button to add bootanimation zip to SYSTEM >>> MEDIA .

close zip copy to phone and boot through recovery and install .

QMG files do not need removing .

It will run at boot providing kernel supports bootanimation zip .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
I don't like being right in this case. ;) But it is true that AOSP has custom boot anim support in system/media, nexus S stock ICS ROM has the support for it.

I read another forum saying it was disabled in KPA... So... Yeah.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrapster:
I guess if bootanimation.zip doesn't work, a bootsamsung.qmg replacement file probably would.

Looks difficult to convert to .qmg though

If anyone has seen any custom made bootsamsung.qmg files I'd be interested to see them.

Can't find any on the net though so I guess this is a long shot!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Found boot animation QMG

Unzip and replace both QMG files in System/media .

Hello folks,

since all other threads concerning this topic are either outdated or are about trying to fix this problem by themselves I've decided to open a new one.

The problem mentioned above should be well known to almost any android user who uses Gmail to manage and sync their contacts.

Because Google ignored earlier requests I'm trying to spread this one single request as far as possible. If enough Gmail users read and star this thread Google has to react in any way.

Link to Google-Discussion

Link to direct suggestion of features for Gmail<-- German, but don't hesitate to like the feature suggestion there too!

If you are registered in another major forum please share the link so we reach as many frustrated users as possible.

[Android General] Dirk:
Voted.

In fact i've added my support to many threads like this on the Google Forums over the last year, as have hundreds of other users. I find it utterly baffling how after all this time, Google still haven't addressed this issue.
[Android General] iridaki:
If Google were to increase the contact picture size even by merely 10 pixels, they would need massive amount of additional server space.

I'm not saying it's not doable, just not as simple as we'd like to think.

[Android General] namelessrabbit:
Actually I thought of that point too, but I made a quick calculation.

I am able to get a decent picture quality (JPEG,256x256px,8bit,quality 65) at under 15kb per picture.

Now imagine you are having 1000 contacts, it would be around 15MB of data just for the pictures. And now take into consideration that any Gmail user already has over 7,6GB(!) of free storage. Would anybody miss 15 or even 50MB?

But all this has already been written in the request thread :rolleyes:
