[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Last night i read this n no root access n then now we got screenshot. Gjoob bigbro :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gonna test this room after backing up my data today :)
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Congratulations!!! You have really put a lot of work behind and finally a dream comes true for you... Am testing the rom... will data2sd work???
[HTC Salsa] uberano26:
Kudos

And with CM7 somewhat working, the other CMs shouldn't be that far off im hoping?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Yes data2sd works on the latest one. And give it time and other cm roms will follow.

[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Oh...my phone looks like a ballerina after using this rom, never been better. Its light, fast, and very stable.

I LOVE THIS :D:D:D

I only have lil problem, my network didn't configured automatic so i must doing it manually n i miss quick setting option on notification tray and htc sync.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
with cm7 theres gonna be no HTC stuff lol, im gonna look at the FB button though
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Lol...i knew that, even better with more notification widgets option. For the FB button i prefer going like this than d original function. :p

Right now, I'm using custom theme but every time I rebooting i must reselect theme to makes it work again. Is this an issue or only incompatible theme?? Btw, i only used mdpi cm7 theme :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found USB Tethering and wifi hotspot not working

brightness control and auto rotation not going well too
[HTC Salsa] kanded:
you rock, mate. you did it. it took long time, but worthy for me. once again, you rock ! one question, is ext4 working ?
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
It's just disabled in kernel, I don't see any advantage of using ext4, but if it is a demanded feature I will build a new kernel with ext4 support.

I'd like to fix Bluetooth and Front Camera first, sensors should work now (in a new rom that's not available atm).
[HTC Salsa] godsgreat_87:
Awesome work guys!. Tried it...its very smooth and nice...
[HTC Salsa] sakisuren:
Sometimes winning is everything. Big B Rox :) Gonna flash now
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Good rom.

Camera app is ok

Flash not working.

rom is nice light and fast
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
Thanks, it's not ready for everyday use, but I hope we'll publish soon a better rom.

Do you mean Adobe Flash or camera flash? Because the first one it's not included atm.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
The camera flash.. now the camera app not responding.:confused:
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Seriously?? I got no problems with them only front camera that no option because wildfire dont have it.
[HTC Salsa] baji240588:
any changelog for the update ?

OP make me confused

yesterday have some bugs ( bluetooth, and other ) but now its gone.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
So what to do now?:confused:
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Try open settings > applications > camera, and clear the data. Its usually works
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
There is a new version coming asap, don't panic people, just ironing out the bugs lol.

[HTC Salsa] vigoos:

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Still not working .. :(
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
I hope wifispot will be priors or at least tether. Its very usefull in an emergency case, lol

Umm... dunno im not d expert but my camera working when i cleaning the data n then rebooting it
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Thanks bro that worked
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Our cm7 is unofficail so any updates would be from us, as and when we sort them. As for camera, I didn't gave any issues with it. But will have a closer look into it for you.

[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Thanks bro that worked.. k no probs for the update.... wish u luck for the next build..
[HTC Salsa] kanded:
Smithing bigger is coming. I'm pretty sure. ;)
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
No one doubts that.

Jingle bells,

jingle bells,

Jellybean on the way,

Bigbearevo is coming along with,

JB on his way.
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
bugs: Bluetooth not working, Front camera broken, abnormal cpu usage after opened the settings menu (workaround: force close of background application). Sensors (will be fixed in the next rom).

I didn't know it wasn't working, I'll check when I have time.

Don't try to use front camera, it's not supported. Flash works for me.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
GPS should be fixed, changed libs over with newer faster ones. Updating the Launcher. Im playing with the camera libs to make the front one work. its complicated somewhat so may not be working in this next release. I've removed androidian/cyanbread themes and inputting a nicer one ;)

Have also got a new data2sd script which allows more free space and responds better.

Keep your eyes peeled, once ive sorted as much as i can i will release the next one :D
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
new version is up people, see change log in post 2
[HTC Salsa] sakisuren:
End call issue. Every time I want to click power button to end the call. Does anyone have this issue ?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Previous version or new version. You can change the end call option in cyanogen settings menu.

Are this ROM use salsa aosp kernel ?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
AOSP kernel?....its a port in from wildfire s by drowningchild/alquez modified to work on the salsa
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Well, what i found in new version

-auto rotation and brightness worked very well

-nice ics theme

-more responsive (i thought :p)

Still problem

-network auto configuration still not working

-wifi hotspot/ usb tether not working

I think im gonna stick with this rom until hotspot/tether working :D

HTC Salsa with Unofficial CM7
[HTC Salsa] meswar:
Good Job done, thanks to BB and Darkorn. Still to test 2nd version.

What a change for this poor SALSA!

A stable and good looking alternate to 'bored' sense 2.1

My priority for bugs clearing, no panic, just take your own time,

Proximity Sensor

USB tether

WIFI hot spot and

others.

Great, go ahead...
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Proximity sensor works, haven't fully checked USB tether, i know hotspot does not work, we are working on these.

For now Front camera won't be worked on, i personally don't think its a neccesity really, but i know some of you guys do use it. we will do our best.
[HTC Salsa] Raneet:
The camera is not working.. Gives FC.. And on restoring data (only), the contacts, phone, call log and some other apps go missing..
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
We know mate.

As for restoring stuff and things going missing. Here's a suggestion. I did use that method. Now, don't. If your using titanium backup then only restore the titanium bits on on the system ie wifi, settings etc. If you restore anything else it will effect running and cause fc. This isn't just with this rom. Its with all roms.

If you wwant to restore SMS and call logs, use a seperate backup app from play. I do, this way I get then saved every 4 hrs.

If you do use titanium backup do you restore the red bits? You have 3 colors red/yellow/green

Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Xparent ICS Blue Tapatalk 2
[HTC Salsa] Raneet:
Ok.. Suggested apps to backup call logs and messages? Those are my main priorities..
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Ritesh Sahu on Google play. He has a call backup and SMS backup. Brilliant apps, Been using them for months and never failed.

watching you from somewhere......outthere!
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Hey is there any app to reinstall previous apps on a new rom??
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
titanium backup? mentioned hundreds of times, root only app and is the best around!
[HTC Salsa] sakisuren:
Cam is not working for me in New CM rom. Does anyone has this issue ?
[HTC Salsa] godsgreat_87:
Me too..Cam not working, Wifi not working..disconnecting every few seconds.

Please fix this both soon. Apart from that the ROM is rocking!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
camera i know about, WiFi works spot on. it will not connect via hotspot though. to be honest there's nothing we can do on this either...

camera we are working on though.
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Im using camera fx instead and there's no problem

If you all really need to use camera i think there's a lot in gplay n they're might work :D

Maybe you should list every features that are not working in the front with big notice as a warn n put little solution :thumbup:

HTC Salsa with Unofficial CM7
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
done :good:
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
Hey guys i found some settings with ics design in android app section it looks like this

I got no adw settings because im not using it as my launcher anymore

To install it

-back up and delete d original settings apk in system app

-put in this app to your system

-make it rw-r--r--

-reboot

This app wasn't me it belongs to someone in android app section

This is the app from my dropbox link

HTC Salsa with Unofficial CM7
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Please be careful. This wasn't designed for us and may have undesirable effects. I won't use it. Oh by the way. Now you removed ads yes you will see it removed, I found after a day or so, few reboots the fcs started. Mainly due to this cm7 being built on its own adw cm7 version Made for it. Good luck using this but your support stops when you modify it past what we provided I'm afraid.

So please don't ask for help when running stuff not made by us for this. Same rule applys on all other roms.

This also looks like the xperia ics settings menu from the new phones..

[HTC Salsa] kanded:
any news mate ?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
not yet still testing stuff out.
[HTC Salsa] karanparikh:
Finally, my ten post rule has been crossed. So here it goes -

1. Performance Settings - Specifically the governors aren't functioning :confused:

2. Is any one else facing battery drain issues.

3. Apart from the camera, my GPS has died, cant get it to work at all :crying: BigBear or anyone has stock Gps.config :mad:

4. Wifi works flawlessly.

5. Bluetooth, cant get it to scan.

6. The new Data2ext works fine too. :laugh:

Everything else works fine for a CM7 device. Kudos. :highfive:
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
So what don't work

Front camera, now i have an idea why this is and will work on this in due course.

The FB Button, sorry guys, till further notice it remains as the menu button. i can provide an option to change this, but its a pain if you get it wrong.

Bluetooth. Now it activates, but will not scan properly.

WiFi Hotspot/Tethering. Tried to sort this, so left for now till further development can be done

If it feels sluggish use your sd-booster app to speed it up and use the the cyanogen option for cpu. be careful plying with it.

GPS, it locks, then scans again..anyone confirm good lock/signal?

as for battery drain we know why...its the gps trying to get lock.

i have another version with working Governor but somethings dont wanna work at all, hence why i haven't released it yet
[HTC Salsa] godsgreat_87:
Same here..Battery Draining a lot!.

And please please fix the Auto network selection thing first.. All of a sudden in night the network goes off n unitl i see in the morning my mobile is waste. I missed out on emergency calls..Turned back to STock OS. once this is fixed i will use this ROM. thanks Anyhow for the wonderful job. Keep them coming!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
Auto network? You mean your cell operator turns off? Never did on mine, I actually got a recent test version to run 36hrs on standby, no wifi etc. Calls etc worked fine for the duration. If your reffering to the network selection. Then turn it to manual as this is something I do not have control over this. Same as wifi,if its hit detecting your network then manually add it in. This is based on a euro design so it will pick up majority of wifi points. Ones that don't can be added manually.

I will sort another version out soon. As GPS bluertoth are both not working right now.

Please remember I will not jump to commands to fix right now. This is our first version and its gonna be buggy as heel for awhile.

I'm using this rom for past two days, really great... :thumbup: apart from bugs, its awesome... Hope u ppl fix it very soon..
[HTC Salsa] yuva0103:
Other camera also not working for me, tried half a dozen of camera apps from Google play.. :confused::(
[HTC Salsa] rohanpatkar:
same problems wid my cell too....the battery drain problem will probably force me too flash other sense based rom for a while until this piece of hard work gets fixed appropriately.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
My GPS is actually working quite well. Tried easy battery saver but still battery draining.

Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
if people have issues with battery drain then turn gps off completely. this is the main cause of it. also try thinking about how much you use the WiFi and data services (3g etc), as if these are connected constant then battery drain will seriously be bad.

i do understand it is frustrating using a new rom and there is problems but like everyone else things will be fixed in time...you only have to look at other handsets using cm7, some don't even have WiFi ability some do...some can't even get cell signal. this is highly experimental and u all know the risks involved using roms that are new especially these kind of ports!
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Thanks. Yeah I know how tough it is to port stuff. Anyways good luck for all cm roms to follow.

Was actually wondering if the f button can be remapped to launch Facebook app. We don't need Facebook for htc sense but this might be a good fix we ourselves can do to make f button working. Even sharing current activity can work.

i tried this out when he first developed it back in January, so i don't know how it will perform on cm7.

i suggest using the lite version unless you want to pay for the full version.

please report back how you get on.
[HTC Salsa] vigoos:
Okay but what us the button code for the f button? Because in cm7 f button acts as menu.

Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
You asked for a way to change it lol, you will find there's a code mapper within that p[package, IE press a button and a code appears. if you read the thread properly it does state it there.

Due to my Army training this weekend i won't be releasing the next CM7 release till mid next week due to these commitments. It will have changes in there which should help calm it down. NOTE :- NO GPS OR BLUETOOTH abilities will be in this ROM. there is Scalable governors though which you can change to your taste.

Thanks for your patience.

Does the rear camera work in this new Version 3?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
should do, i just did a crash test due to time, will try again later hopefully
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
Does volume Up/Down works? Because I may have forgotten to copy the correct layout.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
er no..just checked it again. also seems the data2sd, they flash fine and ive tried 7 of them lol..ive tried to figure out whats gone off...can you try again?
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33680627/latest kernel/icong-keypad.kl

try putting this file in /system/usr/keylayout for the volume key.

Use this command if you want to fix it without reflash all the rom.

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push icong-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout

Then reboot and tell me if it works again.

I've never used data2sd, it stopped working?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
has on latest one. didn't want to work with it. will add file into base rom and flash it...file just opens, cannot download it
[HTC Salsa] Go.Bin:
So happy to see new version but im thinking not go to flash it cuz too lazy doing back up. But about the gps function, so gmaps won't fully working or not wotking at all?

In second version when im disabled gps my battery still draining n completely died in 1hrs, but when im disabled auto brightness my battery life saved about 4-5hrs longer :)

[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
GPS is something that don't work. This is the problem when porting lol. No one seems to bebe able to complile a Version from scratch as it requires a really powerful PC setup to do it. It's an on going problem which hopefully will get fixed.

Can u upload volume button fixed version of ROM , so I can flash it ...
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
BigBearEvo is testing it, I think..
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
new modified version uploaded to first page, i have changed theme over too, which i forgot the first time around.

Please check if this works, test the keylayout and i want to know which data2sd version you find works as i can't get mine to work again, but i am having problems with my ext3 though so maybe down to my system and not yours.
[HTC Salsa] yuva0103:
I tried. camera works, volume button works but data2sd v 0.43 not worked for me. In order to flash another version of data2ext tried to install busy box 1.17.1, it throws "this version not compatible with this ROM, change ROM or busy box version"
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
when flashing a different version of data2sd you must redo the rom flash again. you cannot simply flash over the other. triple wipe flash rom. try booting the rom first then rebooting to recovery and flashing the data2sd after the first boot.

it looks like its not just me though. this sometimes happens when flashing roms a lot. i have to wipe and reset my ext3 partition a few times a month when flashing a lot
[HTC Salsa] yuva0103:
Found any working data2ext for the latest version of this ROM guys..? My version of data2ext not worked ...
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
im working on it now. till further notice use the previous version while i find the error.
[HTC Salsa] yuva0103:
Ok bb thx
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
I wouldn't say that, but I think this rom has few room for improvement. I hope someone could get further, because I can't. It's always CM7 for marvel, even if we made it works, so something won't ever works unless we recompile the rom for our device (something that I can't do with my hardware).

Even I can help too...
[HTC Salsa] Darkorn:
For any adventurous who are interested, recompiling the rom could fix some annoying bug.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Liberty:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux)

(Read until Copy proprietary files, but don't exec extract-files.sh )

Now after you've read the first link and you've downloaded cyanogenmod, download the marvel repo:

https://github.com/alquez/android_device_htc_marvel

exec extract-files.sh from here with your phone connected with the original firmware.

I'm not sure here, I mean you should see if there's something to be changed.

and now go back on the first link and read Building CyanogenMod.

I know, it's not easy and it's time consuming.

an update.zip....hope you didn't try flashing it as an update zip lol.

normally when creating these, you name it with a name of random sort. if the program you used has created it as an update.zip then it won't flash or boot properly.
