2. wipe cache partition

4. reboot

5. be happy again :D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
that happens to me too but I just gotta remove battery and reboot and it works. :)
[Desire Android Development] Waza_Be:
Hello all,

I have read this really interesting thread.

It seem that the tweak is only one comment to remove in the ROM. Do you think that can be done in CM?

I hope that a flashable update.zip may be done by "the one who have the knowledge" no?

Am I wrong?
[Desire Android Development] Jedipottsy:
how did you add A2SD? is there an updated version?
[Desire Android Development] erousr:
Facebook Sync, build.prop

I have compared your build.prop with the one installed with the latest nightly build and I can't figure out why it should work with your build.prop. Please tell me what lines I should edit in my own build.prop to make the Facebook Sync work.

Thanks

As pointed out the answer was found in a earlier post. The correct line to edit is ro.product.device=bravo into ro.product.device=passion

[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Already been posted. Read the thread or compare harder.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
No some kind Guy wrote us a script to run on Linux. It adds Google apps and a2sd and packs it into a new zip to flash.

Just noticed two more nightlys. Can't imagine they fix anything major as the one from the 19th is running just fine.
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
I really love the lockscreen music controls in the new build!!!!

Haven't found any new features beside that...
[Desire Android Development] MrPaveL:
Just a little bit OT: why plenty of you using kernal instead of kernel? Which is a proper name.

It sounds like something from hell ;)
[Desire Android Development] Mestr:
I just downloaded the latest nightly and i don't see any diffrence!
[Desire Android Development] k4r1m:
any issues with the latest nightly?
[Desire Android Development] robnemma:
Market missing for me in the new nightly.

Full wipe, flashed rom then flashed gapps. still no market

flashed gapps again with full wipe. still no market.

not had this problem with previous nightlies.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Discovering latest nightly with a2sd atm and can't find any issue...
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
The new nightly has lockscreen music controls.. It's REALLY nice!

Btw.. You have to enable it in CyanogenMod settings...
[Desire Android Development] Mestr:
720p video recording coming soon??
[Desire Android Development] kokwei:
Hi all,

I've been using this ROM for a day now. So far, everything works:

1) Trackball's fine

2) Froyo A2SD works, tho I'm only seeing 20+MB left despite having moved most of the apps I installed to the SD card. I'm not confident to move apps which are widget based to the SD. Any advise here would be appreciated.

3) LED works perfectly.

4) Battery life is good. Starting using since 930am in the morning, with quite heavy calls in between (total about 1 hr talk time), background sync of 3 gapps account, hourly twitter & FB updates. I'm left with 53% at 5pm. That's good sign that a full charge will last me the whole day.

5) I'm using Launcher Pro (instead of ADW). Works fine so far.

6) WIFI, Bluetooth, Edge, GPRS works fine. I've not tested 3G/HSDPA yet. Will try it tonight.

7) Battery percentage via CyanogenMod settings works like a gem.

8) No echo in calls.

9) Gallery works fine - no saturation issues.

Generally, it looks like a perfect ROM to me. Fulfills my daily needs.

However, I've got 1 question. Prior to flashing CM6 nightly onto my Desire I've been using the Official Froyo Sense ROM 1.0c. I noticed that the GMAIL client is much more sophisticated. It has this floating toolbar that allows you to reply/forward even when you're half-way through an email thread. The floating bar also displays the sender's name ... particularly useful when reading long email threads.

Any idea how to get that copy of the GMAIL client?
[Desire Android Development] kokwei:
Guys,

When updating from 1 nightly to another, does it require a full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
I've been doing it without, no problems so far. My approach is - backup, update without wipe, if there are problems then wipe + reinstall.

Lockscreen music controls!!! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
can someone please post the permissions for /system/audio?

messed with permissions and can't get the ringtones now...
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
/system/media/audio is 755 (dont have system/audio)
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
thank you. thats the correct path. mhh... messed with ringtone permissions and now the ringtonepicker doesn't show any ringtones anymore...
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
most of the system folders are 755, its the most common permissions as it only gives write permissions to SU, so thats always my first try when i screw them up :)
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
Hi, it appears in this build dalvik-cache lives in /data, which is why there is such little free space. How do I move this to /cache?

By the way I am building from source, so if somebody could just point me towards the code I need, or some references that would be great. I've search google but cannot find specific code.

Thanks

EDIT: Worked it out myself
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
I finally made it in recovery mode :

Boot in recovery mode

And from a PC :

adb shell mount /system

adb pull /system/build.prop C:\

Modify the line (i don't remember which one) in C:\build.prop and save it

adb push C:\build.prop /system/build.prop

adb reboot

Thank you bjehsus
[Desire Android Development] sangreal:
Hi could you point me the right direction in obtaining the files for enabling a2sd or the post if on XDA forums please?

TIA
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Read this thread, starting at page 43...
[Desire Android Development] heartwork:
hm...in newest nightly my screen won't rotate anymore...did wipe before flashing, reboot doesn't help either.
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
On my phone, only green and orange are working (testing with Handcent SMS). Blue doesn't.

Anyway, thank you all of you for this GREAT rom !!!!
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
Latest nightly build (a2sd+gapps+signed)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8543276/cm_bravo-07202010-032417-gapps-a2sd-signed.zip
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I hope in CM6 final we get blue LED.
[Desire Android Development] Kollegah:
eta :confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
blue led is working, just not used
[Desire Android Development] deovferreira:
Handcent hardcodes the path for the blue led. You can contact the developer, he should use the framework to write to leds instead of /sys, there's nothing I can do to fix it.
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
Thank you for your answer !

This doesn't matter, I configured it green and it's ok for me ;)
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
Is there a voice recorder application included in the rom ?

I see an application (in android parameters) called 'magnétophone' (recorder in french) but I can't figure out how to launch it, I don't see it in the launcher application list. Is there a way to get it ?

EDIT:

The recorder application is only 32kB... weird...

EDIT2:

Here is the icon

EDIT3:

I can launch it in k9mail when adding a sound to an email ! Great :D

-> But is it possible to launch it directly ?!
[Desire Android Development] planter88:
Didn't work.

Just keeps on booting..
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
I do not see the Market either...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Market works fine for me, has done on all the nightlies, I don't wipe either!
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
Maybe that's why... I did a wipe and installed latest nightly, Market does not appear. Although Vending.apk is in /system/app.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
did you try going through the setup wizard again?

Sometimes that brings Market back.
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
I know what the problem was, I think.

I moved dalvik-cache from /data to /cache, and it filled /cache there was only 44KB free.

Is it possible to remap the MTD partitions on the Desire like it is on the G1 and other devices?

The partitions are way out of whack for running Cyanogenmod, a 250MB system partition is rediculous.

I'd like to give it a try but don't think I have enough spare time.
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
What are you talking about ? I can't see anything new on my lockscreen :(
[Desire Android Development] 77flem:
Read few post before
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Enable it in Cyanogenmod settings.

And when flashing this rom always go through with the setup wizard or market does not appear.
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
maybe partition can be remapped but is not useful, spl lock address not logical partition :(

ask htc an unlocked spl
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
ah damn, oh well thanks for the info, maybe I'll just push dalvik-cache to my sdcard.
[Desire Android Development] planter88:
Just installed the latest Nightly and i love it.

A lot of nice Settings and it's stable and fast too. Have to see how the Battery Life will be.

Best Froyo Rom till now (I'm not a big fan of Sense).
[Desire Android Development] metalk9:
Imo, this Rom is really good with regards to battery life.
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
agree with both of you, although i'm using yesterdays build. can't update every day. I'll stick with it for now.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I keep saying i will not update every day but then i do. Every time. Takes a lot of time to set my homescreen back right (MyBackup Pro doesn't do it properly) and re-enter passwords for my websites and the add a2sd to each nightly.

Why can't i stop updating? :( lol
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
if you install the new nightly over old then your home screen and settings stay the same. I aint done a wipe since my first CM install 4 days ago. :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I just got this thing where i have to wipe every time. That way i know any bugs or niggles are not due to the non-wiping. I don't know why. i just do.

I love this rom. Just wondering how much it would mess it up if i were to try and use an UVOC kernel from another 2.2 non sense rom.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
as your installing the same kernal u wont get any bugs due to no wipe.

u need to wipe if u change from 2.2 to 2.1 or Sense to vanilla
[Desire Android Development] Dactylion:
does somone have problems with the orientation sensor?

it stops working after reboot
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
You can even change the kernel. The database tables containing the user settings, mms/sms, andriod settings etc aren't compatible between htc sense, vanilla, eclair, froyo etc.
[Desire Android Development] heartwork:
Yep...no rotation here as well :(
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
I got plenty of rotation :-s
[Desire Android Development] Dactylion:
y but after some time it stops working completly
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
I'm going to upgrade to the last nightly. I want to try it without doing system wipe.

Do I have to flash gapps too ? (I read and search the entire thread, I can't find it)
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
I installed the newest nightly 17 hours ago, and i still have no problem with the rotations... And i've rebooted like 3 times...
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
I rarely wipe, but i allways Install the gapps... Don't know wether you have to or not... But better safe than sorry ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Demostrike:
My rotation is also fine with this (Jul 20th). Facebook contacts won't sync for me however. Gonna try Jul 21st now.
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
I discovered why the market wasn't appearing..

If you build from source with google apps, then run squisher it optimizes the gapp apk's and breaks some of them.

I have heard of this happening before in other ROMs when people have optimized them.
[Desire Android Development] TickyDraconia:
If you follow the instructions to modify the build.prop that were linked in the first post, Facebook sync works just fine. :)

Good luck with the new nightly, let us know how you go. :)
[Desire Android Development] Spidsen:
Okay... I just installed the newest nightly...

I think it runs on a new kernel, but i'm not sure... Other than that, i can't really see any big changes... It runs very smooth!
[Desire Android Development] zw4mp:
Very smooth here too
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
Is Facebook sync fixed in the latest build?
[Desire Android Development] zw4mp:
I didnt wipe and its still there without modifying build.prop..
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
Is there a way to do that ? just to move dalvik-cache to the sdcard ?

I still have an ext3 partition on my sdcard (apps2sd remains) !

Guys, how to do it please ?
[Desire Android Development] nbedford:
07212010 nightly is running a 2.6.34 kernel, must be getting close now :D
[Desire Android Development] TickyDraconia:
Sweet. Can't wait to get home and try the new build out. :)
[Desire Android Development] NmE-:
LED´s

Loving CM so far, but having some issues with the latest build.

1. I cant, for the life of me, get LED´s working for notications. It works when i plug in the charger etc, but not on notfications.

2. Sometimes i get a "com.android.acore" FC ?

3. When trying to modify the build.prop for the facebook sync, I get stuck at "adb shell mount -a" I get the following error :

" - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Desperate for help here.

Edit: forgot to note that I did a full wipe before flashing this rom.
[Desire Android Development] TickyDraconia:
These two will surely be fixed in future builds. Remembering this is nowhere near production-ready right now.

I'm not sure why that would be happening. How did you root?
[Desire Android Development] NmE-:
By using Pauls R6 method.
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
Please stop reporting this as a cm bug :/

This is Facebook application bug/feature, which disable sync if your phone is an htc with proprietary tool for fb sync.

If u want a fix, ask FB to fix it !
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
I have been having a serious problem with these CM roms but I'm not sure if anyone can help me; I am developing apps & games for Android but for some reason, programs which will run on other roms ( e.g. DeFrost ), give me an error on this rom.

The output from logcat indicates that they are running out of memory:

E/dalvikvm-heap( 1080): 1620000-byte external allocation too large for this process.
E/GraphicsJNI( 1080): VM won't let us allocate 1620000 bytes
D/AndroidRuntime( 1080): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm( 1080): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001d7e0)
E/AndroidRuntime( 1080): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime( 1080): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget

The exact same .apk file runs fine on other roms so it can't be something I've done ( or can it!? ). The strangest thing from the above output is the byte value of 1620000 which translates to 1.6MB but as I understood it, Android gives each app 16MB of memory to use. Maybe its just a coincidence that the value above is exactly 10% of the total allowed, I don't know.

If anyone could take a look, I'd be most grateful & if I can provide any other help ( log files, etc ) I'd be happy to.

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] nbedford:
My notification LED's are working in 07212010, but only when the screen is off.
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
Can't download the newest nightly (0721) - the download ends at 40 megs with an incomplete file. Didn't notice the first time - good thing recovery threw up an error. Anyone else getting this?
[Desire Android Development] NmE-:
Happened to me aswell in Chrome. Tried downloading it in IE, and it worked :o
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
+1

try other browser
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
Well, that's a first :rolleyes: Trying another browser, thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Safari was fine, so it's not a webkit issue.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Yep, this is not a bug: it is the default behaviour for Facebook NOT TO ADD a new sync-able account.

Actually, the "build.prop" fix IS a bug: by applying that fix, you are showing to Market and to your application that you have got a Nexus One.

That way, Facebook thinks that you have got a Nexus and the new account is active.

HTC Sense have already its facebook "sort of" sync, via the crappy widget. So it is deactivated.

And, since there are NO Desire without Sense (it SHOULD be that way ;) ) no FB sync for everyone.
[Desire Android Development] gues42:
sorry, but where are the chanlog for the cyanogen rom (CM6 - 07212010, CM6 - 07202010....)

thank you very much
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
I just integrated Darktremor A2SD into the source and build it, seems to work well.

Had a problem with init.d/05mountsd, it was running prior to the block device being ready and failing to mount the ext partition.

I added the following to 05mountsd and it works great now:

MMC=/dev/block/mmcblk0
if [ ! -b "$MMC" ];
then
mknod ${MMC} b 179 0
chmod 600 ${MMC}
for i in 1 2 3;do
mknod ${MMC}p${i} b 179 $i
chmod 600 ${MMC}p${i}
done
fi

Credit for the code goes to Firerat, thanks.

Makes up for the lack of data/cache space, now I can move dalvik and/or apps to SD. woot! Almost perfect now.
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:
yup, with darktremor a2sd you simple open up terminal and type

su
a2sd cachesd

i'm just doing some testing now, i might make the rom available.

just moved davlik to my sd, runs smoothly, now there is 145mb free in data after install.

edit: just re-installed all my apps (thanks to titanium backup) and now have 65mb free instead in data instead of it being full when dalvik was there! i'm very happy :D

and the ROM runs like a breeze, big thanks to everybody who is working on it
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
the new nightly has the new .34 kernal I think.

anyone notice anything different?
[Desire Android Development] wingphil:
@Kali- have you decided not to pretend that we are a nexus one then? e.g. in here http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/froyo/products/cyanogen_bravo.mk

Would this break something else or have you decided not to for some other reason. Seeing as many/most people will be patching the build.prop anyway. I would just like to know, sorry to ask again :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
@kali- Thanks for explaining the Facebook issue it makes sense now. I always thought it was a bug too. Is there any downside to me editing my build.prop to say it's a Nexus at all. or is that just fine to do each time? I don't mind having to add one extra file each time. I have to edit the keys to wake with menu anyway.
[Desire Android Development] daedelus82:

[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
im running latest build fine.

no FC's yet.
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
For those who miss Facebook contacts sync, I've written a small app for you. ;)

The difference between the app and the build.prop "fix" you've seen in this thread:

My app modifies the build.prop you already have on your phone instead of using a build.prop from an old version.

There are 2 important files, one is the actual app, the other is cmfbrepair.zip

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Install the app on your phone.

2) Copy the cmfbrepair.zip file to the root of your sd card and do not rename it!!

3) Do not flash the cmfbrepair.zip!!!

4) Start the app.

If it doesn't work, disable the signature verification in recovery.
[Desire Android Development] frans0023:
Woh thank you for your answer, I will test it today !
[Desire Android Development] Rohaq:
Would flashing cmfbrepair.zip from my RA recovery console suffice? I don't have Clockwork Recovery Mod installed as I like to be able to use my phone as a USB storage device from the recovery menu - Very useful if I can't find an SD card reader and I've buggered up a flash ;)
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
You shouldn't flash anything, the app does that for you.

But it should work from AmonRa's recovery too.

Btw: ClockworkMod also allows to use the phone as a USB storage device ;)
[Desire Android Development] Rohaq:
Hmm, where? I never spotted that, but it could have been down the the version I was using.

I flashed it manually and it applied successfully, but I still can't add a Facebook account; Facebook does think I have a Nexus One though.
[Desire Android Development] wingphil:
from the evo 4g cm6 nightly thread. beidl, could your zip file just run the two sed commands (suitably modified for bravo->passion)? then there'd be no need for the apk part at all.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I did wipe and I just re flashed gapps and still no Market :(

plus facebook did not install

does FB sync work?
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Man, please read first post, I'm trying to keep it updated as soon as I discover a bug.

If you discover a bug that's not mentioned, please report with a big red text so I can see it.

But please, only if not already mentioned :D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
so far its good.

but going back to OD 1.5

till the final version of CM6 is out. :)

good work tho by the CM team
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Nekro i have no idea why you don't have Market as it has worked for the rest of us.

I think this will be the last rom i ever use on my Desire...obviously i will update it :D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I know its not the final release so not expecting everything to go smooth :)

Am excited for final release though.

With this and the Sense ROM we will have awesome ROMs to use.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
When it will become stable enough, we will get OTA updates too, since it's common to have OTA on CyanogenMod releases ;)

No more recovery with that, until Gingerbread ;)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
OTA updates...is that a joke? That would be totally sick. Will that mean no more wipes? When can we expect it to be implemented? Once it is stable enough? I think I'm going to love this rom.

I hope we see led colors in this like old CM roms.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Not kidding, a friend of mine have OTA on his Magic, since Magic is one of the older device ever supported by Cyanogen.

Cyanogen > HTC, support-wise.

We Hero owners had to wait for months before having official 2.1 on our Heros.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
OTA sounds awesome

lets hope the newer nightlys contain old skool a2sd
[Desire Android Development] jshields:
I had the same problem when I skipped the initial setup soon as I wiped and signed in properly it appears :)

Send from Shields's DESIRE
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
ah kool

Yeh I skipped it too at the start
[Desire Android Development] onkelsatan:
I am a little surprised that no one have answered THE question of them all (on page 2). Is the echo/white noise gone ?

Hoping someone can answer so I do not have to flash my phone again (I just got my phone rooted last friday so I have been though pretty much all the roms over the weekend :D ). If not Ill flash my own and report back with an answer.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
I had serious problems with echo's and they all disapeared when I lowered the volume just a little bit. Guess some people need loud volume at work and such, but the volume solution is a really easy fix, if you've got the possibility that is.
