Anyone noticing a screen flicker when your running under low light levels, i found if i turn on use moving average, apply custom, edit other levels and changed the two lowest values from 40 to 39 the flikering others mentioned and i had, disappears :-) so far its a good rom as far as i can make out, fast, stable.

Rock on, just wanted to say thanks for another great ROM CM team.

PS Home button works fine, and although ive not tested GPS at any length that also appears to work.

poor battery life

I'm having battery issues. The phone discharges in 8 hours with very moderate use. Should I wipe everything and do a clear install? I changed back to 7.1 because I'd like to avoid it, but if that would solve the problem, I'd do that.
[Desire Android Development] effepas:
It's hard to understand if the battery consumption is anomalous due to the new Rom or if the battery is aged....

Maybe it could be sufficient to wipe the battery stats in CWM recovery after a full charge...

Try this way: full charge with the phone turned on (check the battery status and the led that have to be green), then turn off the phone and if the led is orange / red continue charging the battery until the led goes green again, then enter in recovery mode and wipe the battery stats.

It worked for me.

I hope it helps you!
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
I would do a full wipe mate, im noticing slightly better battery life over the 7.1 nightly i came from (264 i think).

If you do, i would give it 24 hours if you can before you reinstall all ur apps to prove/test if its the rom.

Finally not sure if it could be your battery stats are screwed up, so you could also fully charge the phone, reboot to recovery and wipe the stats, not sure if it will help, but worth a go.

Personally i always do a clean install now, after having issues when doing upgrades / switching roms.

Hope you get it sorted, as this really is a great rom.

cant download anything from the market

get an error -101 :confused:
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
I also had an issue initially with market, i think this is possibly due to the market update being pre google play... basically it wouldnt let me install any of my apps (i worked out this was because i didnt do a restore and it thought, wrongly my i add, that i already had them installed).

Firstly ensure you clear the cache on market, if you have not already.

Next try and download some random app you have not had before (you can remove it in a sec) after it downloads it should also download the market update to make it google play.

At this point market sorted it self out and started to work for me.

One other suggestion, someone else posted, although i didnt have to do this was to use market from a desktop pc (using your account) and ask it to install some random app from there, like i said i didnt have to do this and im sure the problem is that market is out of date and you need some way to force it up to the latest version.

Other people said wait 24 hours and it normally fixes it self (updates) hope that helps ;)

[Desire Android Development] leone510es:
Is it really....very very important to S-OFF my Desire before flashing Cyanogen 7.2 RC1?

Because I've rooted the device long ago and I flashed a lot of ROMs, but none of them needed to S-OFF. I saw in a forum that before flashing I have to S-OFF, but in another forum did not mention anything about the S-OFF. So what now? If it is not necessary, I would rather not do the S-OFF procedure. Can anyone help me with that?

One more thing. If I do the S-OFF, will it influence the other ROMs I will flash in the future?
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
I cant confirm it, but i cant see why the rom would need soff, make your you backup your existing rom first and flash it over and see what happens, you can always recover from the backup.

However if the only reason your worried about going soff is the procedure, just use the alphadev iso boot image/cd and use that its a peice of cake, then you have full control of boot images etc, cid cid locking etc.

Your phone cant still be in warwanty right? So what have you got to lose ;-)

And no going soff wont effect other roms, all your doing is unlocking the ability to control more of the phones settings/software. Like i said ive not seen a rom thats needed soff before..? Maybe someone can confirm this and if it does need soff, why??
[Desire Android Development] leone510es:
THX! This is the kind of answer that I expected :) I believe you :)
[Desire Android Development] goister:
Pardon my noob question, but my understanding of S-OFF is that it disables firmware signature checking, as well as allows write access to the internal NAND flash memory. AFAIK, the device ROM is stored in the internal NAND flash memory, and 3rd party ROMs don't have the correct credentials, so without S-OFF wouldn't it be impossible to flash 3rd party ROMs?

Hi i'm tossing up between CM7.2 RC2 and MildWild. I'm after a ROM that's stable and fast. I am curious to know whether the customisations made by MildWild makes the phone more buggy.
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
Nope you dont need soff to load thirdparty roms on the desire, i didnt have soff for ages and i was flashing roms, i only had root using unrevoked.
[Desire Android Development] leone510es:
That's exactly what I'm thinking about too. I'm using MildWild for a long time, very good ROM, but I also wanted to try the original Cyanogen ROM. Maybe it's more stable and faster and more people are working on that, not only one.

Although 7.2 RC2 is out, so we can expect an other update from MildWild with this base ROM. We will see which is better :)

For now I'm using Sandvold ICS 0.7 and the ROM is very good so far....
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
I asked over at the nightly thread for you, and someone posted back the same as i suspected, no soff required:

@leone510es & @dajackal123

I dont know if it helps, ive not used wildmilds rom, but cyanogenmod has always been rock solid stable for me.

I had a quick look at mildwilds mods, other than smaller os tweaks, the main differences appear to boil down to:

- XperiaArc Launcher (personally i like awd its lightweight and fast)

- 720p HW PLAYBACK (see my sig you can install on cm)

- Webkit hardware acceleration (from what i can make out this may cause force close issues, others reported post implementing it on the desire) and possibly why its not been implemented in CM. Also i found Ginger Villain added to a rom and then later removed it, possibly for that reason.

- ICS Apps, theme and animations

- MVPS hosts file (can be applied manually to any rom)

[Desire Android Development] dajackal123:
Excellent post. Many thanks for your insight. I'm currently using MildWild 4.4 and really loving it, having come from the bloated, slow and buggy RunnyMede AIO. My only concern is the frequency of the MildWild builds and new bugs being introduced. e.g. version 4.4 was deemed to be buggy.

I was hoping that sticking with stock CyanogenMod that it would be more stable, without taking away functionality/usability, due to more extensive testing efforts.

However, the mildwild community on xda-devs seems more active than stock cyanogenmod. How come?

How about the Euroskank CM7 KANG builds? What does that bring to the table?
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
@dajackal123

I think your comparing apples and oranges there, let me explain.

CM provide two versions of roms, RC and nightly, normally people running nightly are developers or people just keen to get the latest build, before a rom becomes RC it goes through some pretty extensive testing cycle so when a rom is released as RC there are virtually no issues with it.

People like mildwild are mostly going to release roms that i would consider to be mostly development roms with the community doing the testing and bug finding which means possibly bigger threads and more activity. Thats not saying after enough testing a rom could eventually be considered on par with RC assuming all that was happening between cycles was big fixing and not more modding and new features.

Euroskank kang:

"kanger [kahng-ger] noun : A person with enough skill to compile CyanogenMod from source, but generally does not have enough coding experience to provide fixes or support."

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigglebread/?id=bravo

is complied from what appears to be CM nightly and not RC, the level of rom mods appear to be fairly light in comparison to for example mildwild.

Now nightly are not a bad thing, ive ran them before, but there are good and bad, depending on how much was changed/added between roms.

At the end of the day CM RC are going to be as stable and as bug free as possible. Kang builds may come close to this, but if they are building from a nightly source and fixing stuff that is likely to be implemented back into the cm base before an RC release, i personally would wait for the next CM RC.

Due to this i would put Kang builds falling between a CM nightly and an RC on the stability ladder for the most part.

It all depends on what your looking for, a fast release cycle, level of testing, stability, new features..etc

CM RC's tend to be far apart, i personally like this as ever few months i get to install a rom that i knows stable and stick with it (i use the phone for business daily and needs something i can run without fear of issues). Other people who are flash addicts are more likely to run something with a smaller release window to fuel their addiction.

Also as a side note the apparent lack of of activity on CM7 for the desire is likely also to be down to many of the devs shifting to CM9 as CM7 for the desire had appeared to stopped development at the end of last year to focus on CM9. But due to issues with drivers etc on CM9 for the desire im guessing a few have come back to keep the CM7 rom alive until were also able to move to CM9. From what i can make out this wont be to far in the future as many of the hurdles have now been overcome.

I wont be running ICS until i see a CM9 RC of it

Has market updated to play or is it still old school market?

If its old school market still and has not updated, you might be able to force it to update manually using:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-5-15-apk-with-a-brand-new-my-apps-interface/

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535071

When you loaded the rom, did you also clean/wipe cache and dalvik ? I would do this and then possibly try and force up market using the above.

The other possibility is your out of space some place, what hboot are you using, i would consider loading the alphadev cm hboot (see my sig) and starting from scratch again if your using a stock hboot. It should work, but ive seen a couple of similar reports earlier on in this thread with people using the stock hboot.

$ cd ~/Develpoment/CM-GB/
$ repo sync
[I]repo always seem to be updated, OK[/I]

$ . build/envsetup.sh && brunch bravo

each time i saw there were some update i made a repo sync an thought my build was updated :

$ cd ~/Develpoment/CM-GB/
$ make clean
$ make clobber
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh && brunch bravo

I just flashed 7.2.0 RC2 (stock HBOOT, S-ON), on my 8 Gb SDCard. I have 1 Gb EXT4 partition on it and the rest is FAT32. I always use the SDCard like this. But I cant use the EXT4 because I think the phone cant see it. I installed simple2ext also, but it seem this app also dont see it. So what am I have to do to use EXT4?? I installed a few apps and I have a Low disk space warning!! :(
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
You need to edit 05mountsd file on found on \system\etc\init.d

There is a string there that says "ext3". You just change it to "ext4"

Alternatively, you can just flash ManU kernel and it will see your ext4 partition when you reboot after flashing.
[Desire Android Development] dajackal123:
Thanks PLAzmA! Very insightful post yet again. I'm alot like you; I only flash every few months when there are sufficiently more features (and stable) to warrant the hassle.

I might wait to see if mildwild does a build based on CM RC2 (or rather the Kang build based on CM RC2), because I do enjoy his customisations (e.g. xperia launcher, ICS theme, etc). But this time I'll wait a couple of weeks to make sure users have reported it to be stable.

Which google app pack should i be using with this gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip the ones above it have ics in there name?

when i installed the previous build of cyan i installed the rom then loaded it up once it was setup i would reboot into recovery then install google pack is this the right thing to do not install both together at the start?
[Desire Android Development] plazma247:
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip should be the latest Ginger Bread Google Apps, your right all the other with ICS are for ice cream sandwich.

If your doing a clean install you need to flash the rom and then flash google apps (before rebooting the rom the first time), that way google apps with configure as you boot the first time.

Note this is a version of market before it became google play, a few people have had issues, if you do hop back a few posts ive given some fixes of how to convince it to upgrade to google play. My advise is get it to upgrade before you do any major setup/install of apps.
