You may want to wait on downgrading to old radio.

Someone will try porting to new radio within a day I bet.

I will do it if no one else jumps on it first, but I can't do it for another 10 hours until I am home.

Without looking at the rom yet, my guess is that it should be possible....but I should clarify I would only probably be able to swap the .33 kernel Cyanogen with Sanpei's .32 kernel for now. It would take me longer to figure out how to do a real port of the .33 kernel to 32ANR. Maybe a senior dev could jump on this.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
The battery time is awesome cynogen is the best
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gazorninplat:
Just flashed it, and it's AWESOME so far!

The 3D gallery is kinda slow though. Any way to just use the old gallery? Or can someone suggest an alternate app from the Market?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
If by "come up with a port" you mean simply producing a ROM "based" on CM5 using some existing NR kernel, then that should be quite easy.

If you mean really creating a full and proper port, then that would still be impossible, because we still don't have the kernel source for the new radio, therefore we can't compile Cyanogen's kernel to be compatible with the new radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
exactly

so right now there is only the option to use the only fully working radio > 1.5 which is 3.22 series

sanpeis selfish attitude of not releasing kernel fixes for the New Radio is what prevents you from using anything other than his kernel for that radio ....

I prefer old radio for the 295 mb data partition :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Whether you agree or not with Sanpei's position, he is definitely not the bottleneck or roadblock. The only thing he is preventing is potentially having other devs contribute to make his kernel better.

But Sanpei is not the source of the kernel.

In my opinion (my knowledge of kernel development is limited) the fact and recent posting of so many newly ported roms for the 6.35 radio in the past 2 weeks strengthens Sanpei's position. Many of these newly ported roms are based on his .32 kernel and some of them run really well. In one of Sanpei's posts, he stated that rom performance is influenced to a lesser degree by the kernel and that most performance gains are made outside of the kernel. This past week quite a few rom cooks and porters in the 32A forum have implemented Jit and have added the AutoKiller memory optimisation app, myself included. For the SuperEclair rom I have ported, I saw an increase in performance as measured by linpack scores from ~2.0 mflops to ~3.3 mflops. My point is that many of us have used and benefited from one single kernel - the version that Sanpei happened to post. My point is not to compliment Sanpei on his achievement (that is a different discussion). My point is that it seems to me Sanpei's position that devs should not put their names on the kernel if / when they only make a minor change here and there. I believe the Android community would benefit most by having a closer group of senior devs work on one kernel (compiled as boot.img-kernel). This boot.img-kernel can then combined with ramdisks from different source roms for easy development, cooking and porting by other groups and/or individuals. We would end up with the same situation we have now where many different roms are all based off one kernel - only the core kernel would be a better one. I believe this is the approach that is mostly taken for the Linux kernel used in desktop and server editions. At any rate, I think this part of Sanpei's position has been demonstrated to be correct.

Whether or not he has complied with GPL, etc. is another discussion.

I'm not trying to flame….
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
Im not trying to flame either but I would prefer to have a choice of Kernel

Wes is willing to build or make the build for his kernel work for NR for donut as well and I am sure Bcrook or some other skilled kernel dev would be able to port CM .33 kernel to NR

I would prefer to have a choice which is not what the New Radio provides

on old Radio I have like 8-10 kernels to test between....

alot has to do with the rom but when changing versions like eg sp .32 will not run anything but 2.1 well

same with CM .33

but WG .29 and CM .29 will run donut fine with full 3d capabilities and no bugs if they had all the code available for NR

sanpei seems to have figured out what wes needs to make his things works and refuses to help others bring their kernel revisions to working position on this hardware

edit yes SP has .29 as well but lets me honest

it has DIS and no 3d for 1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Agreed.

I just don't think most of the blame goes to Sanpei.

It's HTC we're waiting on....

(I would also stick to the old radio. I just don't want to deal with Rogers in Canada, have to sign their waver, and maybe get other headaches with them.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
honestly dude just sign the waiver

they wont bother you after - if they do u can probaly use it as leverage for credits

I signed the waiver and never had an issue with my data

i didnt have an issue on old radio for over a month before I signed the waiver after my initial network refresh

GPS Working Just fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gleonard3:
As the original poster I thought I should report that reverting to the old radio and sapphire recovery enabled me to successfully flash this ROM as suggested by some others. The ROM itself feels stable and snappy, but alas there still seem to be camera issues just like in 4.2.x. Pretty bummed out about that since I do rely on the camera as an integral part of my "quasi–superphone" ownership.

Recent ROMs with the new radio seem to have addressed this on the 32A. Seems there's always a trade-off somewhere in this ROM flashing game.

Thanks, everyone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
this is test1 ;p its gonna be fixed in the update this weekend the little glitch which doesnt really affect the camera - it just shows fuzzy for 1-2 seconds after you take the picture - still works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gleonard3:
@alan090, that's true and certainly I could live with that even if it were never fixed. But on my device it reboots when exiting the camera app. This had been a long standing issue pre CM5 and apparently is still there. Im not expecting any quick resolution on it, but I'd love to be surprised.

In the past others had reported the issue was gone on the new radio. I will echo that finding with capychimp's Sense Hero ROM.

I hope i'm not coming across as ungrateful. I love all this stuff. So, whatever works. That's what i do.

Late.

1. .32 kernel could be used for donut too (maybe with some tweaks). and certainly I think it could be used for cm-5.x (directly) , unless Cyanogen changed some interface (it's not good).

I think that Cyanogen's kernel is just common .33 with some patches. and for our device, .33 is not so different from .32, the biggest difference is that .33 is under development.

so don't mislead others if you don't understand something.

2. .29 kernel have 3D and HD too. even in donut ROM. I had run the RAV-dount on my device with full features long time ago (with a different version which was made for donut).

actually, all kernels (and all kernels are just one thing) with proper hw3d driver and mem mapping could have full 3d capabilities.

it's just that some "kernel devs" couldn't found how-to, if the only things they could do were just using what Cyanogen or others provided, doing some tweaks and naming it. (I shouldn't say these words again, especially with my poor english ;))

3. only kernel patches wouldn't make your phone running properly.

because many libs communicate with hardware directly. for example: a lib send a "1", and kernel transmit it to radio, but what new radio needs is a "2", do you think it would work or not?

4. when I had tried RAV-donut with my kernel .29, it didn't have DIS. DIS would be caused by many reasons, and it is not only related with kernel.

-----

all "my" kernels are just common kernel from Google's repo, and ALL versions of common kernel could work properly and full functionally if you have enough skills (and the word "enough" means not too much here).

when you talked about "sanpei's kernel", you just talk about what Linux and Google provided. and all your "choices" are just same thing with small difference too. they should contribute their little patches into a common kernel which have a common name.

and you still have your choices: you could enable/disable these patches. that's how linux community works, but why we not?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sanpei:
:eek::eek: how did you know that, could you tell me more details of the reasons?

or do you need me to show how it could be done without any changes to .32 kernel binary? :)

maybe I will do it (if no others do) after Cyanogen release a stable version, though I don't like AOSP based ROM in many details.

and I think that CyanogenMod is a more standard AOSP ROM than HTC's ROM, it should be more easier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
You cannot tell me kernel had nothing to do with the breaks in the roms ive ported, most work perfect on wg donut kernel for 1.6, would be happy to release donut roms for nr if they worked 100% including 3d
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
that is odd, have never had that happen and ive taken many pictures on old radio, donut roms works fine with camera
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I'm not really sure what you mean, I'm having trouble understanding you, sorry, but I was talking about compiling the kernel from the source, with the exact same source and config as Cyanogen is using, not about using "your" .32 kernel binary.

If you can/want to produce a patch or guide enabling us to compile Cyanogen kernel for new radio, please, by all means do so, the sooner the better. It's already long overdue.

However, if you just want to slap "your" .32 kernel binary to CM5 to make it "run" on new radio, then as far as I am concerned, don't even bother. After all, anyone can do that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sanpei:
so what does this mean? :) do you mean that a "full and proper" port should have the bugs in .33 kernel? then maybe you are right, we could make everything working as they are working with Cyanogen's kernel build, but we can not sure all bugs could be copied.

I hope that you are a god, then you could delete any possibility you don't want. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gazorninplat:
Anybody having trouble with Nandroid after the update? Mine keeps quitting part way through. I finally got it to "finish", or appear to be finish after I wiped the dalvik cache and fixed uid mismatches, but it made a nandroid backup that was equal in size to the empty space on my SD card. Basically it made a 2.7GB backup that filled the card. I imagine it didn't actually finish the backup, but had an internal error and just kept writing to the card till it was full.

I also had a lot of problems flashing the black bar updated from Cloverdale. Kept giving errors until I cleared the dalvik and fixed uid mismatches. Then it flashed and it works now.

Everything in CM5.0.7 works perfect. Just odd that it would affect recovery somehow?

Rogers Magic, old radio.

Also, I'm using AmonRA recovery sapphire 1.6.2H
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I see what you did there, very funny.

So how about producing that guide/patch for compiling the generic kernel for new radio? Yeah, thought so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
alls I hear is I dont want anyone to use anything but my kernel

Yes I would rather use Cyanogen's work

He is a well known and rather talented coder for the N1 and mt3g

I trust his opensource work > your binary kernel

Thanks
[Desire General] sirride:
I'je just unpacked my desire yesterday.

When i am straight "connected" to the AP, i have full wifi

20cm makes it to ok

1 meter makes it to poor

next room no Wifi

My Hero has good Wifi even next floor and poor outside the building

How can I improve that?
[Desire General] jock23:
I have pretty much the same problem, very poor wifi access unless I am sat next to my router.

considering adding another wifi router to my home network to solve this issue
[Desire General] gogol:
I got the opposite ... My HTC Desire has very good wifi access.

Even when I am in my bed room at 1st floor where it can only got 1-2 wifi signal, it is still damn fast. Also no problem in the 2nd floor although the signal indicater is just 1.

The wifi router is located in the ground floor.

When I used my old HTC Kaiser, there is no way I can access wifi from there.

Now, I got wifi all over :)

So, I think, it could be the way you configure your wifi router. Here are some pointers:

- Set to "g" ONLY

- Set to use non-crowded wifi channel

I set my wifi channel to 6, which it is not being used by neighbors wifis.

There is also an application in the market called "Wifi Analyzer":

http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.farproc.wifi.analyzer/

It is free and it is damn good for showing your wifi signal strength and channels etc.

Install that and let us know your situation.
[Desire General] sirride:
Installed WifiAnalyzer

In my office building (which has plenty WiFis) i only sometimes see our Wifi which as a 7dBI antenna. but this shows with "half -90dbm"

our Linksys Wag160N has -40 when Desire touches the AP and -60 when 1 meter away

How can I set "g only" on my desire?
[Desire General] sirride:
HTC sais I have to

- have a small distance between AP and Desire

- Check the "angle and how I have it in my hands" between AP and Desire

-enable WiFi

--> I gonna change the phone
[Desire General] gogol:
The "g" only is setting in your wifi router, not desire.

I am now in the attic and my wifi signal is not that good.

When the signal is -90, I got about 500 kbps (using SpeedTest app), not quite usable, sometimes the connection was dropped.

When the signal is -80, I got about 2000 kbps ... usable

Those are examples on the worst condition at my place and my HTC Desire.
[Desire General] roybert:
I've had my phone conected to my WiFi while I was in my car on the drive which is 15 metres away.
[Desire General] pickie:
yep same prob here if in same room of router sinal fine, if i move out of the room and about meters away then i almost loose it :( will try the HD, but im sure it was the SPV m3100 i could get my wifi out in my street,

Why is the desire wifi so poor ??

its a great phone, but it seems to be going from Desire to Dire
[Desire General] sirride:
i went to the shop where I bouhgt the desire and they were changing it.

Now I have good WiFi again
[Desire General] oursoul:
The Wifi signal is fantastic, its stronger and faster than any of my other devices connected to my Netgear DG834g (custom)

Wifi connection loss an reconect

Hi there,

i have also a problem with my wifi connection. The connection to the router works fine, but every 3 or 6 seconds the connection is lost and the phone reconnects. One to 4 pings to my HTC Desire are lost, then 7 to 10 pings work fine, and again some pings ar lost. Its somhow a bouncing conanection.

I´ve testet the app wifi analyzer and i can´t see any problem - connection strength is around -36 to -40 dbm, so what could it be?

I am using a Zyxel nbg460n, the connection to my notebook just works fine...

I hope, anyone has any idea :)
[Desire General] th3:
Same here for everything you said. -60dBm on 2nd floor right now with router on ground about 90m away. The reason why I predominately use WiFi.

More in general, but I boosted signal quality by switching back to b instead of g.
[Desire General] Miathan01:
Yes, i noticed that switching channels improves my pings... but just for a while and just for this time - next day i have the same problem again. switching the channel while my phone is connected helps a bit though - but i guess this can only be a workaround than the solution.

and it does not matter if my phone is in my hand or just lays on the table and the distance to my router doesn´t matter.

Couldnt find downloads of any I liked actually. why is this so difficult to get the stupid file i want. if anyone knows were i may find it please give me a link to the download, not just some thread about it, i've almost given up completely.

hers the one i want Mr. X Touch Pro 2 CDMA WM 6.5 Custom Rom Stock
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PRBajista:
Your going to have to be more specific. I found the download page but there are 2 versions for that specific rom. The difference is in the version of sense installed. One has sense 2.1, the other has 2.5. The page is here. I would suggest you look at the change log & support threads listed underneath the links for each rom in order to decide which is the one you wanted. They are both graphically (and probably functionally) different from each other but they are both windows 6.5. Hope this helps. Oh and by the way, welcome to XDA. Questions are always welcome here.

[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Yes that's what I meant :p Besides YOU are posting on an rom development site anyways! What AREN'T you going to ask about
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Reason why...

The hardest part about this is that only certain questions get answered on the Q&A section, and the vast majority of them are questions that n00bs were too lazy to search for. It is a valid question and yes it probably should go on the Q&A, but I doubt that it would be answered in a short amount of time. I also tried pushing the Launcher2.apk to this rom and had FC's all over the place. I tried via root explorer, via astro, via console in recovery mode and even:

su

mount -o remount, rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

install /sdcard/Launcher2.apk /system/app/

reboot

(this was in terminal emulator)

This also was just FC's all over the place. So I have a feeling that it has to do with either libraries or some other issue with the build itself. Hope this helps, and I'm sorry that you had to resort to asking this question outside of the Q&A forum.
