Yes, exactly in those places I had such options in my previous ROMs. In this one, I cannot find the Dev tools at all... They are installed (as I can see them in installed apps), but I do not know how to access them... the same with the Launcher settings - do not see the settings for that either... :confused:

By the way - today morning I experienced one not-nice behavior... Yesterday night, everything was working normally, I was using my phone as always. I shut it down for the night. When I turned it on in the morning, I got the same "message" as I get after activation A2SD - Optimizing applications 1 of XY... After this finished (no reason why it was running?), all of my installed applications were gone! I thought something has happened to my card, but everything was there (checked via File manager). Then I powered off my phone and entered Recovery. From there, I chose in tools "Fix permissions" (do not know what it does though) and after that I "Checked the filesystem for ext4". It found some errors there and fixed them. After another reboot I was able to see my applications again, so the issue was fixed - only few widgets disappeared from the home screen, but everything else was there... I hope this will not happen again in the future...
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
To access these settings, open the Developer options in the system Settings. On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options.
[Desire Android Development] skubko:
nice, thank you :good:... I had also 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 before (always different ROMs) and Dev tools were always available without this nice exercise... :laugh:
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
I have sent a solution about this problem in a few page before.
[Desire Android Development] dfs_:
one thing that is missing:

i can only select green notfication LED color, and i know that at least blue works also, maybe other colors too.

how can this be fixed?

Hey [MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION],

It seems that this is going to work out. At least it brings the missing module under /system/lib/modules/tun.ko -- and now I'm patiently waiting for the build process to finish..

Cheers! :good:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Great. If you could upload the module that would be nice :) I'd like to use some VPN apps.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Here you go.. :)

wating for new version with openvpn.
[Desire Android Development] kuskro:
Wow, amazing. Is it supposed that it can be only used over your rom or over chromium ones?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
It works with my rom as well. Im not 100% sure about with Evervolv since it is AOSP based, while both mine and spezi's are CM. But it should work.
[Desire Android Development] Pito_Urla:
This rom is amazing and fast, fast, fast.

FM

Fm was working in 0.4 but its not in 0.6

does someone have some idea?

using spirit ul

thanks
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Can anyone help me with a bit of a n00b question. I ran the A2SD command line (as told to do so in the first post) when I first installed the ROM. Everything seemed to be working OK in terms of installing apps but I can’t seem to install any more apps due to lack of space. Is there something I can do you update the A2SD as there is plenty of room on there, or have I done something wrong?

My readings are like this:

A2SD Storage: 1.05GB, Free 572MB

Internal Storage: 186MB, Free 19.91MB

System Storage: 250MB, Free 1.11MB

Also, I thought I would share this information with you all in case you have similar problem, but I was getting a problem where I would sometimes wake the phone to go to the lockscreen and look at the time. However, sometimes, I’d go back to use the phone and it had completely crashed and you had to take the battery out to restart it. This used to happen quite a bit. I did loads of searching on this problem but there isn’t much information out there, but I came across this solution. Apparently, if you use Gingerbread ROM’s and upwards on the Desire, there is an issue where the signal flicks between 3G and H data signal and the phone searching for the signal it crashes the phone out. The way around this is to go into the secret menu (*#*#4636*#*#) and change the signal to WCDMA only so it only gives you H data signal and won’t try anything else. Whilst this could be annoying, I’ve always found that you can’t do much on 3g anyway and I’ve not had an issue yet where I don’t have signal that it’s not picking up email or WhatsApp messages. But I’ve never had the freeze (not in this way anyway) again, it completely stopped it. So worth a go if you have this problem.
[Desire Android Development] eref:
Hi, I have this lack of space issue too. :(

Hope somebody will come up with the solution soon. Otherwise I like this ROM (0.6) so thanks again for your work Spezi77!
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
If you have a fast sd card, class 6 or above.

Instead of A2SD, you can also try disable A2SD and use INT2EXTV2+ instead.

See few pages back.

Data usage problems

Hi, just to let you know that I’ve just spotted my data usage spiralling out of control. It was downloading constantly without my knowledge. I managed to nip it in the bud before I went over my usage allowance (but I’m now very close to it).

I have found out that it was Google Play services that was pulling in the data. Looking around on Google, it appears to be that my phone is trying to update the KitKat software?? Could someone please confirm this?

Will there be a new release of this ROM with the new update of KitKat and also, I understand that you can download an app to disable OTA (Over The Air) updates, is this worth doing? And would it be possible to put this feature in this ROM? I know you want to keep the ROM apps down but as this is something that runs in the background and the fact that the stock KitKat ROM has issues, some people might not be as lucky as me to stop it before it becomes very costly. I have read elsewhere of people having their usage go over 3Gb!

Thanks :good:

Edit to say, I turned off data usage over mobile network and put the wifi (poor wifi reception where I am at the moment), and it doesn't appear to be updating any more, does this not update over wifi? Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] Mastermindsaifee:
(Y)
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Thanks for this. I don't have a class 6 or above micro SD card though. I think it's class 4, possibly class 2 but pretty sure it's 4.

Is there no other way? I keep getting the storage notification but it seems to come and go on it's own randomly. Is there a script I can run in Terminal Emulator?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Alternatively you could give mounts2sd a try.

Detailed instructions are given in Chromium's BS thread.

BY THE WAY: v0.7 is out and it runs even smoother than before!
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Thanks spezi, it is a lot smoother than your previous build. I will test it for a couple of days and report back any bugs. :)

Upgrade

Hi,

How to upgrade from version 0.6 to 0.7?
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Wish I had asked this before flashing, had to wipe my phone and start again!

Too many problems now and phone is not working. Whilst I don't want to use GApps, how can I do anything without Play Store?

On another note mounts2sd worked, all my data was hogging the phone internal memory and freed up lots of space. Worth a go. I tried this before trying to update to version 0.7. And now I don't have a phone any more, won't let me log in to Play services at all and keeps asking me to restart my phone due to the SIM card.

Maybe I should look at this in the morning when I'm not so tired! :D Lesson learned! :D

Edit to say that I now have Google Play working but only AFTER installing GApps. Also had to un-install GMail app and install it from Google Play to get it to work.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks for your enthusiasm to flash the rom immediately! It is very common that Play store comes with the Gapps package.

How is the performance for you?

I also have noticed at some point that I had to reboot due to "sim card added”. But then this message never popped up again. Maybe a new bug in CM code. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
The first possible bug that I discovered is that upon hitting Downloads app in drawer I get FC in android.process.media. is it just me or can someone confirm it? Not something major and I can live with it.

2 Questions

Hi Spezi,

I have 0.6 installed EXACTLY according to you installation guide (1 GB Ext 4, 250 MB HBoot, FullWipe, Gapps, A2SD, Xposed Framework, Gravity Box, Optimized Settings) + Nova Launcher

It runs very smoothly - Very stable - VERY GOOD ROM!!!

But :confused:

The fully charged phone went dead after 10 hours over night without usage with Mobile Network, WLAN and Bluetooth OFF. Android System and Google Play Services used 80% of the Battery. Can anybody confirm?

How can switch to 0.7? - hopefully not a full wipe ...

Regards,

Gregor
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
hi

I installing new version with full wipe but still the openvpn not work and say: tun.ko kernel module is not loaded in your android kernel.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
I cannot reproduce this. Could you please give me a logcat by chance?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
A full wipe is always recommended. You can try first to do a dirty flash and if it fails, do a full wipe. :eek:
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Sorry to hear about that. At least it has been worth a try.
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
I expect this was the Google update (the OTA for KitKat?) that was running in the background that did this. When it happened on my phone it was pulling huge amounts of data and was draining my battery very fast.

I am currently looking at an app to stop the OTA updates as I am guessing that all new KitKat updates will be included in newer versions of this ROM so I won't be needing OTA updates.

I tried to do a dirty flash with 0.7 and it didn't end well. Still putting phone back together with all the apps I had and settings (long story!).

Once I've run 0.7 for a bit longer, I will give my feedback :good:
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
Thanks for your support.I hope in new version op fixed.:good:
[Desire Android Development] taninos:
It is a pity but I'm sure spezi77 will achieve it. On ZeamDroid it is working (my apologize for trolling this thread).

On the other hand, what can I do for making Netflix workable on this rom???
[Desire Android Development] g1b50n:
Guys roms looks ok, but how to get old sms/mms messages from a backup? I am using go backup pro, and really works but when i move to kitkat roms my sms as hangouts messages didn't see my old messages, any sollution? Maybe i should install normal messages.apk instead hangouts? Please help i got this problem only on new kitkat roms on jellybean works.

just sent via tapatalk
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Getting there................

Still putting my phone back to how I had it (when I get spare time to do so).

I'm currently having issues with installing Xposed Framework. Worked absolutely fine on 0.6. The only things that I can think of (that's different this time round) is that I'm using Mounts2SD app (great app), and also, on every single reboot that I do, I get the "new SIM card added" please reboot message. It will not go away and is possibly causing a problem? Anyone with a bit of help? There are no Xposed logs as folder doesn't exist (?) and I couldn't do a workaround ZIP file (found HERE).

Back to the GApps, I would like to have as less possible Google related things as possible, so I was hoping not to install the GApps ZIP. I found a Google Play apk (the latest one) on another thread but it wouldn't let me log in. So I used the GApps ZIP and managed to log in. So I'm guessing that there must be some kind of framework to help make Google Play work? The reason I bring all of this up is that I'm guessing 90% of people need the Google Play app, and if this only works with the GApps ZIP then it may as well stay in the original ROM? I think when I tried to do a dirty flash without using the GApps ZIP, that's what caused my problems whereas if the ROM had stayed roughly where it is (Google wise), then it may have flashed better? I've only come to this conclusion as I have had similar things with a different ROM when I was trying to delete certain things on the ZIP file. It works OK if you do a brand new clean install but if you don't then it gets confused and gets stuck in a boot cycle. Sorry for the rambling!

One thing I have noticed with 0.7 is that it is smoother. I mentioned in a previous post about a bit of lag and delay, especially when waking the phone to check the time, for it to display the current time. This has seemed to have gone, and when I use my invisible lock widget, it locks much faster than on 0.6 (locks as quick as it should). I will keep looking for more pro's about 0.7 to balance out all the con's ;) :D
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks for your report. Highly appreciated! :good:

I have discovered that you can bypass the message "new SIM card added" by pushing the back button. I think that it is a bug which comes from CM introducing "Multiple SIM Manager" recently. I hope they will improve this.

Afaik Google Play (Phonesky.apk) requires PrebuiltGmsCore.apk. Please don't make a dirty flash. You can combine apps you need with the original rom before flashing it.

I have installed Xposed Framework without a prob using a2sd. Just don't use mounts2sd if you want Xposed.

Have a nice day..
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
Is v0.7 update from CyanogenMod 11 M4 recently released?
[Desire Android Development] dark$hadow:
Updating from CM7, I have successfully installed 0.7 following your instructions. The UI now feels much snappier and more responsive, except the lock animation (analog tv) looked better on CM7. Battery usage so far looks great, in general a big improvement for such an "old" phone.

There is a reproducible force close when I try to change anything in Settings->Storage->USB connection (via the menu at the right top corner). Currently it is set to export the sdcard as a USB mass storage. Is this a known issue, I have not read about here yet?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
It is based on the commits from 5th March. So I believe that it is very close to M4 (released on 7th March).

I have seen a few changes (mentioned here) when merging :

- Immersive Mode – prevent accidental clicks on swipe gesture (EdgeGesture service)

- Bluetooth LE – Wipower SDK apis, various fixes

- Volume Panel – transparency support

- Translations – new language additions, localization and long-string fixes

- QuickSettings – volume Tile sync fix, Quick Config, Alarm tile shows alarms, User Profile fix

- Recent Apps Panel – low-end device tweaks

- Theme Engine – Fix crashes

- Performance – Speed up booting on multi-core devices, add option to force high-end graphics option on low-end devices
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Users of CM11 nightlies confirm that this is a known issue. Meanwhile it has been fixed. Well, I don't consider this to be a big problem because the message can be bypassed. I will wait a little before doing another repo sync since M4 has been launched yesterday.

P.S.: this weekend I will take care of my carbon baby..
[Desire Android Development] Serrano:
Hi, could you try to manually load the tun kernel module before connecting via OpenVPN?

Open the Terminal app and type the commands below:

$ su
# modprobe tun

Try again to connect via OpenVPN

If that works, it's just a matter of loading the tun kernel module at boot-time (by issuing an insmod in init.rc or better, using a specific init script).

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION], as explained here, could you please include an additional init script /system/etc/init.d/99tunmodule with the content:

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Battery drain went back to normal without changes. Android System and Google Services do not drain my battery anymore. So everything is ok now without changing anything.

... I think I will stay on 0.6 for a while. Runs well (and I am too lazy for another full wipe :laugh:)
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
This method is not work. still it say : tun.ko kernel module is not loaded .....
[Desire Android Development] Serrano:
Let's try this, again in Terminal:

$ su
# insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
# lsmod

The last command, lsmod, should list a line per each and every one of the kernel modules which have been loaded, starting with the name of the module. Can you check that there is no line starting with "tun" after having issued the insmod command?
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
After line2 this message show: insmod: init_module /system/lib/modules/tun.ko failed (file exists)
[Desire Android Development] taninos:
Hi spezi77, I know that it is too much to ask but we will be glad if you were able to build a CM10.2 (android 4.3) taking as a base the WoH sources of Paranoid and his kernel. It would let us have a workable tun.ko on our Desire. Please, please, please, I'm begging you.

Best.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
WoH used evervolv kernel, and I'm not sure if he made any changes to it, but he didn't push anything to his git.

Anyone know if tun.ko is working on kitkat evervolv?
[Desire Android Development] Serrano:
IIRW, if insmod fails with "file exists", it means that the module has been already loaded. Can you verify it with lsmod (looking if the tun module is listed in lsmod output list)?

$ su
# lsmod

Can you also attach the kernel log? You can get it using adb, for example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell dmesg > %TEMP%\dmesg.log

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

Hi, I'm on Evervolv's Kitkat (2014.02.17 nightly). tun.ko is not included. I cannot use KitKANG CM11 0.7 tun.ko, as the Kernel signature is different to Evervolv's:

<3>[ 8172.706512] tun: version magic '2.6.38.8-evervolv-02126-g2a19fcb preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.38.8-everv
olv-02125-g65700ab preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

Tried to use Tun.ko installer, just in case, but it cannot find a pre-compiled tun.ko which suits my Evervolv build kernel.
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
for adb shell dmseg this eror : klogctl: Operation not permitted

and for $ su

# lsmod
[Desire Android Development] Serrano:
So, to sum it up:

The tun kernel module is loaded

The insmod error you reported in post #298 was caused by the tun moduled having been already loaded by modprobe (as expected)

Pending questions:

Why are you experiencing the error " tun.ko kernel module is not loaded" as reported in your post #296, if the module had already been successfully loaded (modprobe)? We need the output of dmesg.

Can you check if the file /dev/tun exists?

Looks like adb is not running as root. Try this:

adb root
adb shell dmesg > wherever_you_can.log
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
It worked fine when I had a2sd and a2sd was working fine for awhile too. But then it seemed to not be working correctly (a2sd that is), and mounts2sd seems to work much better (imo).

I can live without Xposed (kind of), but there are a few tweaks (or modules) that I do like, like holding down the volume button for the torch and setting LED colours to certain apps (although I've found that the Desire has always been buggy and not to the written rule so it can still be a bit tricky to get the LED's set up to how you would like). I also miss the module that allows you to modify the clock in the top right hand corner of the notification bar.

Do you know of anything similar to Xposed? No biggy if not as I prefer stability over design :cool:

Also, just a suggestion, and maybe a N00b thing, but it would be great if you added in your first post along with the how to install guide, a how to install a newer version (for example, the best method to go from 0.6 to 0.7 without losing too much information and keeping all your apps). It may help more people than you would know (and this would apply to all the other ROM's out there too).

Looking forward to when the camera is smooth and not so juddery (and video recording works). You can take some decent pictures but the process could be a bit better. I'm sure Google have it at the top of their to do list! :silly: :laugh:

manually start synchronization

Hi all,

simple user question:

How can I manually start synchronization in this ROM?

In MIUI I had a "Sync" button in the quick settings. This was very handy to save battery because I could leave WLAN and mobile network off and only start it upon request.
[Desire Android Development] rao.vinay:
Thank you Spezi77 for this awesome ROM! Fast and stable. It has become my daily use ROM.

Can we have the bonus n5 package for 0.7, please?

Cheers!

Phone restart issue..

Hey Spezi77,

Wanted to report an issue - When I try to reply to an SMS from the notifications bar, the phone freeze for 3-4 seconds and then restarts.

Another thing - I had seen the exact same issue with Chromium_'s beanstalk rom. Must be a bug with something common between your roms.

Just wanted to report - not a big deal, can live with it.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hey Rao,

Yes this is a known issue as mentioned in 1st post. How's everything else? How do you experience the increased performance in v0.7? You could try to flash N5 bonus package for v0.6.. Not sure if it works well. Do a backup beforehand.

Cheers :D
[Desire Android Development] rao.vinay:
My bad...

OOps!! I totally missed out that one :silly:

Sry about that.

I actually jumped from v0.5 to 0.7 and I indeed see a difference!

N5 package - I'll try that out and let you know in some time!

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] leonisk:
Hi, i am really excited from the developement that keeps going on for desire!

I wouldn't expect it to run so good on a 4+ rom because of the lack of version 3 kernel, drivers, ect. Anyway, the problem with the video recording is known as 'impossible' to fix so i won't talk about it, even though illusion camera works:confused:.

Well, I want to report a bug from a day of use, the stock internet app crashes often, did clear data and keeps crushing. Chrome's working good on the other side. The sms quick reply bug is fixable and i hope soon there will be a workaround. I don't have that much knowledge of programming, i've just begun it so i can't help rigth now.

Another thing that concerns me is the storage, i have installed skype, viber, chrome and some others (no games) and there's only 55mb left. I've enabled a2sd script as you suggest on the first page. Is there any better solution? I come from supernova with data2sd script where i was able to extent to 1+gb of internal storage. Are there any alternatives that you can suggest? Also do you think data2sd script is good or laggy? On supernova when i was installing an app phone became very laggy for some seconds but with cm11 it is running smooth!

Keep up the good work..
