Netflix seems to load fine, but I don't have an account. I use xbmc. Why pay to watch something you can get for free???
[Desire HD Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I searched xmbc in the market but didn't see it? Any other name?
[Desire HD Android Development] thereian2:
You have to download it to your PC and stream it to your android device. There are tons of youtube videos to show you how. Here's a link to my favorite channel on xbmc. Netflix is garbage. http://www.1channel.ch/

Hi.

I have the r19. But there's something wrong with the sound. Musik sounds like rubbish.

R15 was okay. Then I have flashed r17 and there was the problem.
[Desire HD Android Development] raulz28:
I just got a non responsive blackscreen the keys lit up but the screen just stayed black had to pull battery to fix it. Here is the logcat and that last line came up every time I hit power button to see if it will light up. This is with full wipe using 4EXT recovery as always.
[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
Would you happen to be using an Inspire? R20 was the first build I didn't flash Inspiremod right off the bat and noticed the metallic/robotic call and sound quality. After flashing Inspiremod the sound issue cleared up nicely :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ehnemehnemu:
Now on R20, it's still there. Actually, it is happening all the time. So whenever I'm in the system settings menu and I hold my DHD across, the mode will change. When I turn it around by 180°, it also does that. But I can't get back to normal view.

Same issue when I use this "automatic view" option, the Launcher/Desktop then turs across, but not back to normal.

Is this one known, do logs even make sense here?
[Desire HD Android Development] hnkumar:
Status bar is not updating in R20. Did a clean installation.
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
I've always just disabled auto rotate because I don't Like the screen turning on me when I tilt it a little to far in a certain direction. I also think it saves on battery a little bit but could just be crazy.
[Desire HD Android Development] asif9t9:
Never had a problem since R18, since I started flashing Synerge's performance kernels..until today when I upgraded to R20. A black screen. Interesting.
[Desire HD Android Development] ehnemehnemu:
Well, I think it's useful for browsing, for menus I don't need it either.

BTW, I just found out that I got the same problem in my browser, I hope it's not a hardware problem on my side :/

FYI!!! on hardware overlays!!

Found some code on disabling HW overlays on android, but i am not sure if it would work on this ROM

Tried to find the place to implement it in, and did search the whole root to find the file but no luck

it should go in: frameworks/base/services/surfaceflinger/DisplayHardware/DisplayHardware.cpp

and the code is:

debug.sf.hw to 0.

125 // debug: disable h/w rendering

126 char property[PROPERTY_VALUE_MAX];

127 if (property_get("debug.sf.hw", property, NULL) > 0) {

128 if (atoi(property) == 0) {

129 LOGW("H/W composition disabled");

130 attribs[2] = EGL_CONFIG_CAVEAT;

131 attribs[3] = EGL_SLOW_CONFIG;

132 }

133 }

If anybody knows where to implement this code i would be happy to give it a try on my device, have made an nandroid and can always get back.
[Desire HD Android Development] Smedo:
Also had loads of black screens. Posted it yesterday. Thanks for your reaction people :)

By the reactions I got, it would seem it would be my fault by "dirty" flashing.

So I full wiped, flashed r20 with newest gapps form goo.im. found out that calander apk was missing so I copied it out of an other gapps. Restored apps (without data). Changes bootanimation, hosts file and dpi too 210. Btw, I have a DHD.

Device still has black screens while waking up. The buttons light up, I see the backlight of the screen going on, but no image on the screen. Press the power button again, screen goes off and also the buttons. Press power button again, nothing goes on again. Only option I got is to pull the battery....

I think that the device is really trying to get out of deep sleep mode, but it can't.

So I adjusted the minimum CPU speed from 240 to 384.

It looks better now. I'll report back when I get an other black screen.
[Desire HD Android Development] tedrogers61:
I've had r20 on all day. Dirty flash with system wipe, and its been brilliant... the best yet. Having said that r19 was solid for a few days... but then black screened on me while downing r20! Go figure!
[Desire HD Android Development] zlmitchell:
This is what I did to Clean wipe

1) Boot into Recovery (4EXT)

a) Factory Reset (Which formats Cache, Data, and .android_secure)

b) Dalvik

c) Battery Stats

d) System

2) Flashed zips

a) JellyTime ROM

b) Inspiremod

c) gapps

3) Fix permisions

4) Reboot

Have i missed something?

Do the whole process again, just ditch the inspire mod Flash!!!!

PS!!! choose on 4EXT to wipe everything but sd! on CWM choose factory reset then go into mound/format and format system, cache, and data!
[Desire HD Android Development] Longstreet:
Ok, been on 20 for 6 hours now, this is about the time I've historically had my first black screen. Nothing so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The new Gmail is pretty slick. But gapps isn't the latest and greatest. Must have done something wrong.

This may not be a bad idea. As I mentioned, you and I follow a very similar procedure, but only one of us is having problems! I flashed following usual practice but leaving off inspiremod. We'll see how it goes. Haven't flashed the radio you recommended yet. I'm doing one thing at a time, very slowly this time.

One step at a time......that´s the right attitude Longstreet...same here.....cause if You just implement the whole thing at once....one will never figure out what wend wrong...or wend right!!!:fingers-crossed: but i anticipate :victory:!!!:laugh:

Now the same time 2moro, when You have been running without any blacks whatsoever.....You can flash the radio!.....and after that.....when that is good....it is time to lower Your dpi on the phone.....but that is an experience of perhaps 2moro!

By the way.....You look like a low rider.....You have a mc??? if yes...witch?? i have a warrior! 1700cc just tucked it in for the winter!!!!:)
[Desire HD Android Development] Cliff1:
Just got my 1st black screen about 7 hours into r20. :/

So inspire users no longer need to flash the inspire mod??
[Desire HD Android Development] zlmitchell:
Agreed... I'm on Inspire 4G... are you saying that i dont need to flash the inspiremod anymore... i know mostly what it does is change the branding but... it does clear up some tinny-ness in the phone calls and stuff.

[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
if i interpret the strings in 4ext (last RC) correctly, maybe someone can correct if he/she knows better

wipe data/factory reset does

- recursive remove all directories in /data except /data/media (which exists on devices without physical sdcard as alias for virtual sdcard mount point)

- removes /sdcard/.android_secure

as /data/dalvik-cache and /data/system/batterystats.bin are removed with the above - there is no need to wipe dalvik-cache or batterstats (well, i guess someone cannot remove the same twice ;)

format all partitions exept sdcard does

- format system data cache sd-ext (if it exists) lib (if it exists) partitions

- removes /sdcard/.android_secure

there is no need to wipe (better words would be remove or delete) something that was on a partition after you allready formated the partition - it's gone (for example battery stats, dalvik-cache on data partition)

installer does

in almost all roms (some may backup some files on system partition first and restore after formating)

- format system with a command in installer script

in most cases format system in recovery is pointless as the installer does it - except you want to get sure that nothing can be preserved from the installer

in some roms

- format additional data and/or cache mostly optional for example in aroma installer

in "super wipe" scripts

- basically all the above and additional remove some directories and files on sdcard

(ie directory /sdcard/Android)

so basically wipe is using the rm command to delete directories and files

format is the mkfs command to (re-)create a filesystem on a partition

Hi all, is wifi hotspot working properly on this rom ? cheers
[Desire HD Android Development] nagpochenpo:
i got a very weak wifi with this here - since r17 -- hope it is fixed one day ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Factory reset formats data and cache then clears android secure from SD. That's usually the pre flash protocol. A full wipe is formatting boot and system in addition to above steps. Its also the same as selecting wipe everything except SD. I have always done the latter when doing a clean install.
[Desire HD Android Development] randomblame:
testing r21 things are looking up

display is drastically improved updated on the kernel and userland side hw overlays are disabled for video playback automatically now

wifi improvements

all sorts of stuff

I worked on kernel side display changes for hours today didn't realize synergye had already done it :P
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
i don't think so

factory reset removes directories in /data with the command rm (remove), it does not format (as with mkfs "make filesystem"), and it removes /sdcard/.android_secure

formatting boot partition is pointless because the boot.img is written directly to the partition (it does not copy the content of the image as files to a filesystem)

a full wipe is formatting data and cache (and probably system, but thats done in most roms in the installer anyway), removing /sdcard/.android_secure

[Desire HD Android Development] RoelJamil:
So what is the proper procedure for Full Wipe in CWM?
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Well when I select factory reset in 4ext or cwm it states on the screen formatting data and formatting cache. Not really an argument. Have you even used recovery? And everybody knows a full wipe is formatting all partitions. Not really an argument there either. You are way over complicating this.
[Desire HD Android Development] Guust21:
Hi! I just joined rooted my device and installed the r20 release plus the new gapps.

I am confused about the kernel though. Do i need to install it seperately or is it included in the r20 release?

Dose this ROM support sd-ext and swap partition, and dose the kernel support 2way voice record to allow Call Recorder 1.2.9 full recording calls clearly, thanx for ur efforts.

ONE MORE TO CONFIRM ONLY HEADSET IS THE BROKEN?
[Desire HD Android Development] nm8:
i will defo try this when i get home
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
well, i looked in the /sbin/recovery binary from 4ext as i nowhere could find the sourcecode. it uses linux (busybox) rm for what it calls wipe and linux mkfs for format, as far i can see. you can even see the command for wiping data and excluding /data/media. seems only logical.

and when it uses linux commands why should they do fundamently do other things than on linux. wipe = some sort of deleting of files and directories and format is creating a filsystem on an unmounted partition.

("And everybody knows ..." is not an argument either)

And do these kernel updates remove the problem where the battery spikes up, looking like it recharged :p

RB you make too many updates, I think people get frustrated that they need to keep on flashing :silly:
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
I have always formatted all partitions instead of factory reset and there is no need to retain /data/media. I didn't create the term or procedure for a "Full Wipe" but if you pull apart a full wipe script you can clearly see it formats boot as well. As for the commands you see in the binary, those are for various tasks. Such as when you select wipe cache+dalvik. You didn't write either recovery programs and you don't know what those commands are exactly for. It would seem you are suggesting the creator of both recovery versions are just ignorant and post "formatting data" and "formatting cache" when in fact they aren't. I apologize in advance if I offend you but I'm going to assume the people who created recovery know better than you and that what the program actually tells you its doing is what its doing.
[Desire HD Android Development] woti23:
i did not assume they do something other than its indended. i assumed they use just command line tools to do the job as you could do with an adb shell too, line for line.

unfortunatly the terms wipe and format are mixed up a lot - but technical (at least in the linux/unix world) its not the same. so i wanted to know what exactly is done when factory reset is choosed and what when format all exept sdcard. i even stated when somebody knows better correct me.

personally i don't care what its called. it's nessacary to clean up before installing a rom. i want to do this and do only this. and if factory reset removes everything on /data and /cache (either through rm or formatting) i don't see why i should wipe battery stats additionally (rm /data/system/batterystats.bin). or dalvik-cache (rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*).

anyway, when a full wipe is suggested, i do a format all except sdcard like you. even if it should format boot partition which i don't think its nessesary. and system (which the rom installer does anyway). but sorry for wanting to know more technical what's going on behind and not blindly "wipe whatever you get in your fingers".
[Desire HD Android Development] thekayman:
can we try and keep on topic please?

you can take the convo to pm's if you all want :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
@woti23

I am not going to pretend I know for a matter of fact whether wipe data removes or formats on data. I just see it says format when performing the function and assume that's what it is doing. I totally agree if you are wiping out the data partition there is no need to do dalvik or battery stats since those are just sub directories. I also don't fully understand the purpose of wiping boot but devs seem to recommend it in a full wipe. Also you are correct in that wiping system is redundant since every ROM pre formats system before install. I think the whole full wipe term was created by devs who required partitions to be set at ext4 or ext3 and would make a script to ensure all the prerequisites to installing the ROM where fulfilled to reduce thread clutter. With that said I'm sure just factory reset is fine before an install but for me wipe all partitions has just become my ritual just to be sure.

"A hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is an abstraction layer, implemented in software, between the physical hardware of a computer and the software that runs on that computer. Its function is to hide differences in hardware from most of the operating system kernel, so that most of the kernel-mode code does not need to be changed to run on systems with different hardware."

[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
That's a good description, makes a lot more sense now. Thanks!

Just to add to the confusion, I was getting the odd blackscreen on R18.2... did a dirty flash to R20 last night, not a single blackscreen since (although there was one random reboot in the middle of a call earlier today). R20 so far has been rock-solid even after the dirty flash.
[Desire HD Android Development] geko1966:
As i recollect way back, RB fixed the issue and therefore there is no need to flash the mod. I may be wrong....getting old....perhaps RB could enlighten us on the subj.
[Desire HD Android Development] Soundy106:
I've found through the last few ROMs, any processing in DSP Manager or another equalizer app sharply degrades sound quality (bass boost of any kind is the worst). With all extra processing turned off, sound is about as good as I'd expect from an MP3.
[Desire HD Android Development] geko1966:
+1 therefore i use equalizer from playS, performs great!
