I mentioned in the changelog that it's not unthinkable now that we'll be able to fit everything in /system!

I had an idea that I could update the kitchen so that as you selected bits, it calculated sizes and told you if everything was gonna fit in the /system partition, before building accordingly. How awesome would that be! Want it to fit in system? Leave out 'x' that you don't use anyway and it will! Genius! :P

See... It always works to think of the little things... Your just a trip Dude... HAhAHA :D
[Nexus One Android Development] DocRambone:
The fm-radio seem to scan stations and find them too, but no sound. Anyone noticed this?
[Nexus One Android Development] hypersonicx:
Lock Screen

Hey does the Desire not have the slide down image as a lock screen? I remember back on the hero roms when I was using them on my mt3g it let me set a image as the slide down wallpaper.

I notice the slide down walpaper does change when music is playing just like the other hero roms but I cant find where to set it manually.
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
yup... Did it here... And there.... And over there.. Lol...
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Anyone's contact pix actually working?
[Nexus One Android Development] Mi|enko:
Mine work.
[Nexus One Android Development] krumb:
the short time i had the rom on my phone, the contact pics worked fine!
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
Mine says fm turning on and then after the.bar fills up the app closes
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Ok so now all we need is for someone to figure out Titanium Backups for the home screens! Could I just backup all apps and all user data and then restore all? Would that do it?
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
I'm having numerous issues receiving calls and they seem to only occur when the phone is locked. I can't answer the call and the ring never stops. The call comes in, the lock screen displays for about 4 seconds, then goes to a black screen with the notification bar up top. The trackball continues to flash and the phone continues to ring indefinitely. After the point at which it would normally send to voicemail, I get a force close screen but I can't press "force close" or "wait" and it continues to ring/flash and I have to pull the battery. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Is anyone using Touchdown? I have been going back and forth with their support because the rom doesn't seem to have an option to display the TD contacts where it normally would give you that option.
[Nexus One Android Development] minogue:
Calls works like a charm, no issues at all & neither do i get for closes or any type of crashes. im on alpha 7 so i would recommend a qipe i guess, or just wait for alpha 8 and make sure you do a nice wipe and see if that fixes your problems. maybe something you installed, who knows:)

Good Luck!
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Any idea why the sync icon in the notifications bar won't go away?
[Nexus One Android Development] suhailtheboss:
also seems like i cant use more than 1 gmail account with the gmail app.

i set up one during the initial setup, and tried to add another afterwards, but now none show up in the app, only under settings - accounts.

and everything seems to be syncing nonstop.

otherwise everythign is good so far :D

edit - after a reboot both accounts are showing up in the gmail app
[Nexus One Android Development] minogue:
mine lasted for a long time, dont remember what made it go away, a reboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Also looks like the "Who Called" app doesn't actually load in this ROM. Anyone else using it?
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
And anyone know how long till all the camera bugs are worked out?
[Nexus One Android Development] altarity:
++1 I just downloaded a $10 app (Trimble Outdoors) on Cyn 5.0.3 and it's not available for download on the alpha 7.
[Nexus One Android Development] Redestwing:
It's caused by the Stocks and RSS/News app. Go into settings and turn the sync off for both of them (unless you use those) and it will go away.
[Nexus One Android Development] jp2000:
to make the sync icon go away, just do a reboot. That did the trick for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] suhailtheboss:
also when you select "live wallpapers" it shows you regular wallpapers.

"wallpapers" shows you user photos

"user photos" shows live wallpapers.
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Go through settings, not menu/long press.
[Nexus One Android Development] newjaruz:
Well, I have a few bugs to report... not sure if its already been mentioned.

1)When using the stock launcher after clearing default in sense... the app drawer while closed will do the animation affect and close again instead of opening.

2)Bookmark widget does not take screenshot of newly added bookmark pages.

3) random slowdowns or freezes in some apps like the browser.

I know its alpha but just reporting.. not complaining... I am glad I have the opp to test!
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
been said 50 million times... Wont be fixed until the next htc build drops... Keep learning your new desire rom... Thanks paul...
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
I don't have news/stocks on and I have rebooted... Any ideas
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
@@@@@ Modaco...

PAUL, question... The driver for the camera on the orginal Nexus rom, can this be carried over to the Desire rom, placed in the code for the camera... But, this will lose the face recognition and other htc goodies i noticed...

but it works.. I got the CAMERA to FLASH while on the Desire rom... Directed driver from when camera button is pressed to launch nexus camera instead of Desire camera...

Edit: I noticed that the Camera still does do the stablization and etc... It does flash... It WORKS>>>

Additional Edit: The N1 Torch causes interferance when changing the assignments on the camera Drives... If lit up works fine, if lit up for video rec shuts down, camera flashes but doesn't record with led on... Hence interference with N1 Torch...
[Nexus One Android Development] Redestwing:
You did not listen to what I said. It will sync no matter what because it is set up like that by default. You have to go in an turn them off, Unless you are saying that you have done what I said (which you did not specify to well with your reply) =)
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Alpha 8 is online!

You MUST wipe before installing.

The link is available for everyone in the first post, the online kitchen for MoDaCo Plus / Ad Free members will be available tomorrow, when I will also be comprehensively updating the first post with more detailed info.

For information, you can flash the full release now and then flash a kitchen build tomorrow without needing to re-wipe. :)

Enjoy... and goodnight!

P
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
WOOHOO doing this now.

Yes - I had already done what you mentioned. They are unchecked but it is moot since I am about to use Alpha 8!
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Online Kitchen...

Paul, Before you go, whats the diff between this and the online kitchen.. just wanted to know before i head over there...
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Changelog

Alpha 8

Hugely, HUGELY, optimised for space. Only the framework sits on /data now (and there's 12MB free on system currently!), and I foresee that with more work, we might even be able to fit everything on /system!

dalvik-cache moved to /cache, this frees up a ton of space on /data

.32 Custom kernel by myself and teknologist with undervolt for low frequencies only, our usual modules etc. for VPN, tun and the like, props to persiansown for the UC source and cyanogen for the kernel git - this should fix Bluetooth!

USB mount app preinstalled

Maps 4 port by Brut preinstalled which adds multitouch and non US navigation (both tested)

Gallery 3D app from Nexus One preinstalled (multitouch tested and working)

Added default android keyboard with voice search - also fixes voice search issues!

Added alternate news widget from Nexus One (GenieWidget)

Online kitchen for MoDaCo Ad Free / Plus members (see my sig for deets)

Slimmed down customize directory with added en-US - thanks qteknology for the inspiration. All the space counts!
[Nexus One Android Development] minogue:
Downloading now, will report back after i test it out! ill add a video on Youtube pretty soon and share it with everyone on my signature:)
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
Phone rebooted once during setup and again when phone was under load. Also cannot log into Facebook.

Paul, can you add the united states to the English list? It only has UK.
[Nexus One Android Development] GNOve:
When i dial out it does not state calling with google voice. I can open the app and text from within the gvoice app. but anything I do outside of it reverts to my carrier number.

I made a few calls and the number showing up is not my google voice number.

I changed the settings toi ask all the time i dial a number click on call with google voice and my carrier number is displayed.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
For alpha7 i'll move /system/fonts to data and put media back on /system. This will mean either some manual deleting or a (recommended) wipe.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Looks like I broke the touch keys backlight in alpha 6, will fix for alpha 7.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] kenyonj:
ok... same here. I was thinking that the actual Voice app was not functioning... I only use it to manage my voicemail, so it works for that.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
That'll be HTC's dialler baby!

P
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
I have no ringtones.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
See 'known issues' in post 2.

P
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
Do I need to download the whole Rom again when you release an update?
[Nexus One Android Development] a1t:
Thanks

Thanks for this ROM. This looks great. A few reboots but attempted to recreate and it works. Cant wait for hulu.

persiansown's kernal works on this uild to OC to 1.11 <--However the WiFi is then diabled. Choose to OC --or-- WiFi
[Nexus One Android Development] XZQ't:
now i'm able to sign in from fb android but not for fb HTC Sense
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Possible interim fix for missing ringtones - perform via adb:

adb remount
adb shell mkdir /data/system-fonts
adb shell cp -r /system/fonts/* /data/system-fonts/
adb shell rm -r /system/fonts
ln -s /data/system-fonts /system/fonts
adb shell chmod 0771 /data/system-fonts
adb shell rm /system/media
adb shell mv /system/bin/openvpn /data/xbin/
adb shell cp -r /data/system-media/* /system/media/
adb shell rm -r /data/system-media
adb shell reboot

This should work (give or take)...! :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
@Paul:

Not sure if you have been notified for these problems but heres what i have noticed:

- Sync appears to only work when sync'ing one by one and not as a whole in general. I had to go to the sync menu and individually select each item and sync to get them working.

- Facebook sync with contacts doesn't seem to work properly as some people got pix and some did not

- Weather and the Friend thing widgets dont appear to work. The weather widget finds my location but no weather images on the largest widget. Friend thingy widget just shows nothing.

these are very small things but just incase you haven;t noticed i have put them here for you to see
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
Hang on a minute, my keypad lights ARE working in alpha 6... but only when i'm in the dark! :) Clearly using the light sensor... did they do that before?

P
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
mine worked in alph5 :confused: i flashed back to CM now but im 100% sure they worked!
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
My keypad lights are working fine. On alpha 5 right now. Sitting under flourescent lights.
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
can this be done through terminal? don't have access to adb right now
[Nexus One Android Development] minelbp:
I reflashed to cm and I still can't log in to facebook. Might be Facebook's problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
I'm uploading alpha7 with this fixed anyway. :)

P
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
Can you release it as a small update.zip or does it have to be the full rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] paulobrien:
The online kitchen lets you put things in and out that you want in the ROM.

Like this - Nexus One Stock Kitchen

P
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
I Know... I know.. I paid my 50 USD to support you, always wanted to... Why wouldn't I... I just wasn't sure if i had to go over.. If it wasn't anything major.

Edit: Looked, minor things I could use.. Thanks...:p From the Stock Kitchen.. ERE36B Radio...

Plus: I am going to have a Good Extensive video on this for you.. Hope you see them.. had two last night on Alpha 7.....
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:

[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:

Apps2sd possible? Sorry if its been asked before. Not trying to be a pest.
[Nexus One Android Development] GodDriven:
Tomorrow In the Online Kitchen... It's me again...

[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Can anyone confirm whether V8 has BT working. Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Antiskunk:
Hmm, Is there any way to check if the download is corrupt?

I've just downloaded it but whilst it was downloading I was downstairs and my brother restarted the router, when I came back upstairs it was done... Not sure if something may have happened.

I guess I'll just flash it and see, I just don't want to Brick my phone or something :P
[Nexus One Android Development] Vision77:
It's a big NEGATORY on the bluetooth working for me.....is anyone else's working?
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
That's a big fat bummer. Will prevent me from using this kick ass ROM because here in Southern California, driving without your BT is $150 ticket. And no offense but I didn't like the UV/OC kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] Domskibus:
Why not?!:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
My phone felt like I could fry an egg on it
[Nexus One Android Development] Domskibus:
Mhh....crazy because the kernel should be undervolted --> temp should be the same or even lower...
[Nexus One Android Development] sinbonders:
I'm waiting to see if you can get the camera flash working, and some reliable comparisons of battery life between this and stock or CM5 (which is damn good)
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I know that's the general idea. However, I was seeing temps that were way too high. All was fine when I change back to the .32 kernel
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Which BT do you have?
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:
Hm.. Wasnt A7 with high-mem? Only getting 160MB free with A8.

But I could be wrong. I usually are.

//P
[Nexus One Android Development] hkfriends:
why flashed Alpha 8 and my N1 keeps on "boot screen" and reboot cycles :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] theomajigga:
anyone have any luck with the few missing apps on the market?
[Nexus One Android Development] tokyomonster:
Did you wipe? They moved some stuff around on partitions it seems like you may have to wipe(I could be wrong)
[Nexus One Android Development] empeker:
Bluetooth

Hi All,

Just flashed to Alpha8... My bluetooth does work... but, I still can not pair my headset with the phone? Any ideas?:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] mcp2009:
i didn't wipe from 7 to 8 and seems to work fine
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Are you supposed to clear dalvik cache before installing?
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Correct, wiping is a must.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
I think with A7 you only got 90mb, so 160mb is a nice improvement.
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:
"Software number" in About Phone still says Alpha 7.

Wonder if I downloaded the correct zip :-) Could perhapse explain the apparent loss of the hi-mem-patch..

//P
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:
No, thats not correct. It was about 250+ MB free. The himem-patch is mentioned in the first post also.

//P
[Nexus One Android Development] briangnyc:
Me too on the camera flash. I was able to get the Nexus Torch App working no problem. I am wondering if another camera app from the market would work. One thing I always hated about my G-1 was no flash for the camera. Now that I have one I can't live without it....although....this rom is so impressive that I probably can, LOL

:)
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Anyone? Dalvik-cache, wipe or no?
[Nexus One Android Development] Vision77:
A8 BT isn't working for me I have tried it with my BT headset and my Laptop.....No go so far....Which means there is a highly probable chance this won't work with the BT Stereo in my car.....But let me make one thing clear (in Obama voice LOL) I am totally grateful! Thanx Paul!!
[Nexus One Android Development] hondasr:
yes you can just need to bypass with like me. In my contry i cant use gv but i made a skype account and buy a USA skype telepone number for $18 for 3 month and i have gv working :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Vision77:
I did a dalvik wipe
[Nexus One Android Development] Break Action:
Hi All,

please help, ho to get bluetooth working?!
[Nexus One Android Development] hkfriends:
hi Paul,

The boot.img in A8 is too big (file size) for me to flash....

pls help to trim down, thx
[Nexus One Android Development] jdoo:
same here. does anyone have any idea as to why this would happen to some users and not others?
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
Transparent notification bar

If anyone is interested I have sorta "themed" the desire rom. I replaced the notification bar with a transparent one. I don't know anything about making update.zips so I'll just upload the framework-res.apk that has the modified file in it.

Heres a screen shot

EDIT: Sorry I completely forgot to give instructions on how to install

-put the apk in your android tools folder

-load up adb

adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /data/system-framework/
adb shell reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] The_Adjudicator:
Me too, I can't get past the X screen with the unlocked padlock. Boot loop.
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:
My findings so far:

* After first boot it _does_ say Alpha 8 in the about phone, but after first reboot it changes back to Alpha 7

* Himem is gone :-(

Feels more sluggish for me now. Have tried reflashing with full wipe of everything on the menu in RA:s 1.6.0 recovery with no change.

//P
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Hmm, anyone able to get live wallpapers to work. Under live wallpapers there is just a gallery of stands HTC walls.
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
I still have highmem. 200+mb free according to taskiller.
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
Mine says Sense Alpha 7.... Is this the right version
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
select photos instead of live wallpaper.
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
if you have the new programs that paul added then your running 8. there must be a bug in the code that shows it as 7.
[Nexus One Android Development] PiCkLeS:
Are you still on your first boot? If so, please try to reboot once, check the About Phone and see if you get the same as me - it changes "back" to Alpha 7 in the text, and perhapse that first reboot takes away himem? Appreciate it if you could.

Very strange, what else could it be on my end - nothing gets stored on the SDCard right? (Never played around with a2sd).

//P

EDIT: More confirms that himem is gone in Modacos forum.
[Nexus One Android Development] mcp2009:
go to photos not live wallpapers
[Nexus One Android Development] Vision77:
I'm back to A7 as well
[Nexus One Android Development] kevinniven:
a7 ROM

Im on A7 and works great. Should I flash to 8 or just wait? Thx
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Thanks......
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
What new programs should I be looking for? Also - any negative ramifications of taking a FULL Titanium Backup from A7, wiping, flashing A8 and doing a "Missing Apps + System Data" restore from Titanium?
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
if you go into adb shell and type free what does it say?

mine says mem free: 394776

I will reboot again and see if that changes.

Edit: still have 394776 available
[Nexus One Android Development] mgorman:
he added in the nexus news & weather app, also MountUSB and gmaps with MT
[Nexus One Android Development] jdoo:
I got around the too big boot.img by:

1 - flash alpha 8 update in recovery

2 - after boot.img fail reboot into fastboot.

3 - unzip alpha7 update.zip file and flash boot.img from alpha7 in fastboot

4 - grab latest .32 undervolt stock clock kernel at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=634587

5 - flash zimage zImage

6 - adb remount; adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

definitely running alpha8 as I have the pinchzoom maps :)

I guess the only downside of this is I'll be missing whatever kernel mods that modaco did that the .32 undervolt kernel doesnt have??? wifi works and I have himem though so i'm happy.
[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
For those that asked, flash is not working with the camera.

But I am not feeling the sluggish part :)
[Nexus One Android Development] hah2110:
