I understand this fully.

But nevertheless i mean that having the CM Changelog in this Thread would make this ROM more popular.

The Changelog in Twitter is nothing a "no-dev-noob" user like me and thousands others are able to find and understand.

A weekly Human-understandable :rolleyes: Changelog Update in the first post would help.

The default-users don't search for Changelogs on Twitter or Github, they look into this thread then they see nothing, next they look to the OD or DF thread and see many changes and news that are making curious.

So the ROM-choice goes often to the Copy-ROMs with better noob-friendly documentation.

My personal opinion : A good documentation is the best advertisement for a good piece of Software.
[Desire Android Development] Nodders:
Is it really that simple? I read on the relevant thread about stability issues identified ny the app2sd dev with different nightlies, as you would expect really.

Oh and just to add my voice to the folk noting they will stay to use cm base when out gets app2sd legacy. I tried anyway but the phone ran out of memory when reloading my apps.from market.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Doesn't seem to have anything to do with SetCPU. I haven't had the OJ problem with CM nightlies for a couple of weeks now (although some have). Used to have it die at least once every day. Tried OpenDesire again for a bit with exactly the same settings, same SetCPU profile as I use now, and it died on me several times again within a day.
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
i never installed app2sd only got some report

Core CM Dev team refuse to use old 2.1 apps2sd because there is some problem on froyo

ROM based on AOSP and CM6 like OpenDesire and DeFrost "sames" to work but i'm pretty sure some bug still exists
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
if some one with darktremor apps2sd want to try, i have made custom_backup_list.txt which i hope work, but need to be tested

push this file on /system/etc during recovery

# adb shell mount /system

# adb push custom_backup_list.txt /system/etc

# adb shell umount /system

then reflash the same nightlies and check if apps2sd still work after reboot
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
Is froyo's native a2sd even usable?

Never tried it myself, but reading about disappearing widgets and things, and apps being unstable when being forced onto sd.

Seems like whether you use native or oldschool a2sd, there's problems.

The only problem i've had with old a2sd is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748793

gonna try it
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
Great. Which v of Darktremor did you use?

I'm getting a new SD card this weekend, and will do this as well.

thanks,
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
Are you meant to use the 'release' version or the 'update/tester' version of DarkTremor's a2sd, with cm6.
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
Just a small status update. Running the 0823 nightly, 40 hours uptime, no headset in use, OJ still working.

Defers driver seems to do its magic. ^^
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
with few bug (blame google :D):

widget on sd disappear after reboot

apps is not fully moved on sd

slow mount of mass storage
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
That's also an issue with traditional Apps2EXT if I'm not mistaken?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
i didn't think, but i'm not sure (never tried it)
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
There are several types of Apps2Ext. Most scripts move the dalvik cache to the ext partition too. But that causes (minimal but still) slowdowns if you do not have a Class 6 SD card.

What still resists on the internal memory is the app data, including settings, libraries, etc.

(one of the main reasons people complain that "da a2sd scripz doeznt workzz")

Some people even want to move these to the ext partition, but that causes even more slowdowns

(when opening apps for example) and problems when moving to other ROMs.

Apps will never be fully on the SD cards until SD r/w speeds are good enough.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
so its better to let dalvik on system or data cache?
[Desire Android Development] The Transporter:
Problem with the latest nightly, it seems that there is a problem with the Proxy settings in Wireless & Network, I can't save the configuration.

It's also impossible to install any apps from market when connected in Wifi.
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
That depends. I have a class 6+ SD Card, so I prefer my cache to be on the card.
[Desire Android Development] FrancisFuku:
Even with a class 4 SD card, you can put the dalvik-cache on your SD card. That's what I've had for 4 months, and I didn't notice any problems or slowdowns.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
how can i find out which class my sd card got?
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
There is a speed test on the market. Just run it and find out. :)

There should also be a number printed somewhere on your card. However, that only represents the min. speeds you card should be capable off. Usually most higher quality cards tend to be a lot fast than indicated by it's class.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
damn .. i found it on the package of the sd... only class 2. it suxx. anyway its only 2 gb i will buy a class 6 16GB card soon
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
usually there is a number wrote on it

this is a class 6
[Desire Android Development] wingphil:
I have a class 2 16GB card but its a sandisk mobile ultra so its a good high quality one. I got 9MB/s write and 15MB/s read with SD Card Speed Test from the market. How does everyone else do?
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
It seems market installation of Adobe Flash was broken recently.

If you had flash installed from before it was broken, and then update to the latest nightly, it will continue work.

But it you install flash on a clean/wiped install of the latest nightly, it won't work.

It installs but the browser doesn't seem to load it.

Installing from apk seems to work though.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
I agree. Class doesn't say much. If you have a high quality card even the lower class cards might be fast enough already.
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
Normal class 2 16GB sandisk (no ultra) so I get 3-4MB/s write and 6-7MB/s read. Works ok, not very good for 720p recording, though
[Desire Android Development] mr.vandalay:
on 25.8 nightly with new radio i got 23fps filming outside :) and the best of all it's mp4 format
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
is there a setting to change the highlighting color of widgets? i changed the normal icon highlight color through adw settings but can't seem to find a setting for widgets. i'm kind of anal retentive about this sorta thing. is this something that can be changed in the framework through cm-settings, or am i barking up the wrong tree and should go bug anderweb about this?
[Desire Android Development] dkm111:
now tried to update from 23 to 25(without wipe).... and again, hangs in bootscreen.

also 23 to 24 went wrong..... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

if i do a wipe, evrything goes fine..... no wipe = hang!

could there be an app, which blocks the update?

thc ahead

dkm
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Try to wipe only the Dalvik cache.
[Desire Android Development] dbolichowski:
I've been having issues with WiFi on any Nightly build newer than 8/23. I believe the issue is related to the PROXY Option that was added to the Wireless Settings in the recent nightly's.

I have no issues on RC2, though. I just flashed the 8/26 nightly and am having the same issue -- WiFi will connect and give me an IP Address, but I cannot go to any webpages.

I verified that WiFi is working by running the SpeedTest app from my phone, and I get speeds of approx 7mbps down, which I cannot get from 3G in my area.

It seems the issue is isolated to the browser. Has anyone else experienced this, and how might I fix it?

Yes, I have tried a full wipe/reflash and have also cycled WiFi on and off and have tried even another router!
[Desire Android Development] Kollegah:
ehm on the new nightly of 0826 i cant add a facebook, twitter and google account oO

i can only add a exchange account so my contacts are emtpy, what the **** ???!
[Desire Android Development] kokwei:
I have a 8GB Sandisk Class-4, with Dalvik-Cache running from the SD's EXT Partition. No issue with slowdowns.
[Desire Android Development] zw4mp:
Flash gapps?
[Desire Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
From memory, widgets define the image to be displayed when they are highlighted. That means the colour is hardcoded into the widget itself. If you badly need to change the colour, I suspect you'll need to modify the resources of each widget individually.

This is definitely something I hope Google makes easier with Gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] jokeyrhyme:
Google's official A2SD method in Froyo is fine, provided it isn't modified in anyway by your custom ROM.

By default, the Froyo method only works on applications that have been specially enabled by their developers. It also only engages automatically when you have run out of internal storage. You can also manually move (developer-designated) applications between internal and external storage if you wish.

Custom ROMs can enable the Froyo method for all applications, and that's when bad things happen. This feature was never intended for widgets or applications with background services, and these will malfunction if you try it.

There are many ways in which traditional A2SD is superior to the Froyo method, but as far as offering a gentle solution for normal people, I personally believe the Froyo method is the best.

People on these forums are happy with partitioning SD cards and exercising complete control over their phones, and the Froyo method was never designed for this.

I am having the issue that no icon is shown when my headphones are plugged in. I guess that is a known problem. I was just wondering if this is gonna be fixed in CM?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
StR@ng3r

are u an OD user?
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
Personally using WhiteExperience as my default actually until CM turns 6.1 :)

Because for me that's basically a CM RC with A2SD already built in and some optical tweaks.

I just tried OD 3.6 to see what changed. Guess that's why you are asking. I like how empty the applist is on it. However, OD seems to gradually become more of a mine field as every new version lately seemed to add more new issues than it fixed - at least for me.

So don't worry. I am with you and your epic ROM as soon as y'all decide to release 6.1. Until then I have to rely on other chefs cooking CM with A2SD in it.

Originally I was a big fan of Modaco and still am but don't really like the sense UI and don't wonna have the whole htc framework for only maybe the dialer and the cam as the only htc apps I miss a little.

Therefore I am just glad that ppl like you keep developing a kernel for us vanilla fans.
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
I believe the icon is a HTC Sense thing. As far as I know no AOSP rom has it. Besides, why would you need an icon to show that something is plugged in? It is kind of obvious ;)
[Desire Android Development] hensk:
looks different cards Cianomod ROmot gives the same results

also my 16Gb klasa6 and the same result like yours:rolleyes:

with OpenDesire klasa6 , write 6Mb and it reads 15Mb

Nextsense writes 5Mb read 8MB

now you can see where is speed from;):D
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
You can always flash the Darktremor a2sd script right after a CM flash update. Then in a terminal use "a2sd cachesd" if you want the dalvik-cache on the sd card. Takes 5 minutes longer. Have been doing that for weeks now with the CM nightlies without any problems at all.
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
Well, I kinda got used to it and liked it. :)
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
i understand a2sd is really needed for Desire, i also have many problem for the low space on data.

+1
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
did u use it?
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
Well even if that actually worked flawlessly each time, why should I? Don't get me wrong. As said before, I love CM but I don't really feel the need to fiddle f*ck around with it every day jumping on every nightly which is supposed to be experimental. At least not, when I am rather satisfied with the stability of the RC's and some one else has already cooked A2SD into them. After all that nifty toy is still a communications device that I kinda have to be able to rely on to some degree. ;)
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
I use the darktremor rc1 version modified for CM6 (not sure what was modified exactly). Think it was mentioned in this thread somewhere. Have been using it for quite a while now and haven't experienced any problems myself.

Currently running the 0823 nightly using the latest radio.

Only having some problems with camera apps I downloaded yesterday but haven't looked into it long enough to see what might be causing it.

Any news on the GPS locking problems?

[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
That's fine. That's why it's great to have options ;). Just mentioning it's possible.
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
but do not forgot: this mod with A2SD is based on CM6 nightlies :)
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
Kali can you please explain very shortly the Changes in the last nightly? I dont understand this things at twiter....if not already ok. Thank you for the best and original rom
[Desire Android Development] mr.vandalay:
i only use default a2sd in CM and really like it...

i have ~50apps and navigon installed and 37.55mb left

when i used a2ext apps seemed to load slower... or maybe CM is just a lot faster than my previous roms...
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
DennisG1:

CM6 it's very big project with many developer (it's now developed for 10+ smartphone), and it's very hard track all changes in a human readable format, but CM6 is now in feature freeze, it's just fix

it's really hard follow all changes (also to me)
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
okay. sounds good. i'll use now every new nightly. i'm happy. please go on with you great work.
[Desire Android Development] hensk:
OK,10кс &

continued with exelent work
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
newest nightly with full wipe etc.: no apn, can't add a google account. just exchange. damn whats worng? omg i forgott the gapps...excuse me :(
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
a question for kali i think.

is it possible for you to fix that sometimes there is no unlock/lock (and ringtone) sound?

or is it just me who have this problem? (i've had it with df and od too, but both of them are just copies of cm. so i think more people will have the problem)
[Desire Android Development] mr.vandalay:
had the sam problem on 24.8 nightly(sometimes there's sound sometimes not)... now i'm on 25.8 and the sound is there all the time...

EDIT: also on 25.8 i had no OJ bug , it's been only around 24hrs but still ;)
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
okay. i'm flashing now 26.8.. i'll report a little bit later my experience with the newest nightly

For the info: i am on vodafone germany
[Desire Android Development] dr0bz:
Thx for the link. Adding ,supl to the type doesn't helps. I only once got GPS Lock this way in Navigation. But switching to maps right after resulted in losing the lock. After that i can't get the lock with default,supl anymore. The only workaround i found out: warm up with gps test app and then it should work.

Even if setting default,supl as type in the apn is imho the wrong way it should work. In stockrom it worked without just fine.

did u try my config for auto restore a2sd ?

not sure, but if u get a FC from a single application, try to remove cache and/or data for the single application before wipe

i think there's a camera problem on 25 nightly

when i take a macro picture and than want to take a video it doesn't focus back to normal... the focus stays macro and the recording is naturally very blurry... i figured that after macro shot you have to make one normal picture (something a few meters away) and than it records fine...

does anyone have this problem on 26 nightly??

hope you all can understand what i meant...
[Desire Android Development] df9517:
First thing, many thanks to our great leader Cyanogen and to bravo devs.

I am considering wiping and not install Google apps. If so, what functionality will I loose andwhat can be fixed well using apps?

I need:

Maps

Sync calendar and contact with Google

Gmail

Market

And maybe some more

Kali your commentd earlier on convinced me to give the latest CM nightly a shot. The boot animation is kinda beautiful (but maybe screaming cyanogen mod just a little to much).

Anyways, I have the same issue in that Rom as I have with the current version of OD. I wiped, flashed with gapps and cannot connect to my google account because my mobile has no data connection anymore. It show full bars but does not establish a data connection anymore. Any ideas how to fix this?

Btw, I just got you a small beer. Enjoy. cheers.

I'm using the 8/26 Nightly right now and cannot download any apps from the Market. I can search just fine, I select the app I want to install and it says my item will be downloaded. I see the download arrow in the notification bar for a brief second, then it goes away.

The app does not get installed. I've tried on WiFi and 3G, tried re-flashing the ROM and Google Apps package, and tried clearing Market data/cache. Any help?

or the lazy way

install cm6 rc2, check if apn is correct the install a nightlies without wipe
