That's because no OD users knew how alike (=the same) OD and CM really were - they weren't aware that getting rid of CM would be like removing half of the ROM. :p
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Yeah that Kali huh :(

How much more exciting life would be with frequent reboots, F.C's and bootloops:p
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
u have to blames cm dev team and all contributor
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Yeah, but you're the one being so annoyingly helpful ;) :D :p

Thanks again for the .35.8 WiFi module btw... :)
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Soo true! I also was completly unaware of that until I tried out CM.

The CM hacks are making Android sooo convenient to use and alter. Making themes for Oxygen right now is jumping 1 year back in time (to my good old Samsung Galaxy I7500 days :D) when you had to dive into smali, baksmali and other stuff just to alter services.jar to change to clock color, or date, or notifications... And all the other stuff those hacks are giving us.

CM is 1 mile ahead of any other (Android) ROM out there. Just my impression of course...

So thanks a lot @kali- and everyone at dev team, you guys are awesome!
[Desire Android Development] simonthor:
CM 6.1 RC 2 is apparently out for some of the other devices. :)

We just need to pray to our god, (Kali-) to cook it together. :D
[Desire Android Development] mi3x:
I agree that CM is tha l33t, and DF and OD were 95% based on it, still I prefer OD to CM. It's a little more polished, so that s why i stay at .37, until the next RC2 appears of course :)

Respect kali-
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Oxygen Theme ;-)

The only thing I'm missing from OD is the OD Updater. That was a handy tool, it could update your ROM and provide themes :) I wish somebody would port/reanimate it to CM 6.1 ;) Anyone? :D

I ported the Oxygen theme to CM 6.1.0 RC1 because I really like it. I only replaced the Oxygen logo on top with a solid graphic and changed the battery symbols (one day I have to switch to a framework-res.apk that supports the 100 graphics for each battery percentage state ;) ) But in the meantime... it's looking good! Enjoy!

And if you want niiiiice transitions (the ones MIUI is using) then I recommend you to use Metamorph (from market) on the transitions-file ;)
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
some one have also RC3 and RC4 :)

this version was out to fix major bug, which was not found on N1 or Desire :)

@nachtschicht

OD Updater, better to call it CM Updater was discontinued

CM6 use Rom Manager, themes and addon can be shipped with it
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Yes of course, it's based on CM updater. I liked it for it's simplicity!

Can Rom Manager coexist with AmonRa recovery?

How to use it for themes? Does it work with theme servers like CM/OD updater?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
So it's quite reasonable to see the RC1 as a "final" release for the Desire? As a matter of fact i didn't get any bug at all, except the fc of quick system info and (but this one happens really seldom) gallery...so nice to have something so fast and reliable for our device :D
[Desire Android Development] rugrog:
Stupid question: why doesn't CM include the option to easily use ext-Partitions on the sd-card as other ROMs do?

Seems troublesome to use extra scripts and stuff.

Right now i'm running Open Desire with a big ext-Partition and lots of apps. Rooted but didn't do the S-Off stuff yet.

So how do i change to CM now? In which order do i have to do the S-Off thing, this: (to get more space)

and the firerat scripts?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
If you use the firerat script then you don't necessarily need to s-off your phone. it uses your ext partition just like with od. No need to have both I reckon...
[Desire Android Development] rugrog:
Hmm, so the steps to get more space through changing the partition layout and stuff are useless if i use Apps2sd with an ext-Partition?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
Final will be better :p

RC1 it's very stable but some bug (not huge) are present: camera, openvpn ...

@nachtschicht

There is no problem with amonra recovery

Rom Manager is a "frontend" to distribute and download content

Themes are mostly (but not only) framework repacked rebuilt with different artwork
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Kali- thanks for the explanation. I dared to install Clockwork recovery and it didn't affect my AmonRa, yeah :)

One more question: How do I get to provide ROMs and themes in Rom Manager? Do I have to buy the premium version to do that?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just read about it on the net. Now I have to find myself some webspace and traffic ;)
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
In my opinion they are. When using Apps2sd with ext partition hardly any data will be placed on /data, so expanding that partition is unnecessary...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Only with a /data/data bind... without it, /data/ still fills up pretty quickly :p
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
but i'm not very expert on Rom Manager and very tired to write a guide, but can be useful to share this info or write a mini guide
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Thanks, good to know!
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
I found these instructions here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/03/rom-manager-and-third-party-roms.html

This should be enough information I think...
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:

[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Could anybody hand me a link for the default kernel (if there's a flashable zip ofc)? Just in case i wanna revert back after trying different kernels...
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
just reflash the RC1 over
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yeah i know that works...i was just wondering if there was a way to change only the kernel: that way i'll have to reflash also my theme, the addons, remake the mods and the like :(
[Desire Android Development] skinnypupp:
I'm constantly having my sync accounts for Twitter and Facebook disappear. This doesn't even happen after a reboot, they just go away after a while. Is this a known issue?
[Desire Android Development] c4p3fi3rr:
I have a problem with mobile data connection. The phone is always disconnected from mobile network, even if it is activated in the menu. I have to manually turn it off and on again to get it to work.
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
I have a question about framework-res.apk:

The standard Android file doesn't come with as many graphics as e.g. the Oxygen file (the battery symbol has graphics for each %, or there are other files to make animations smoother etc.). So I wonder how I can do the same to our framework-file?

If I include additional files to framework-res.apk then I will have to sign it again, but I only have the test signature and not the one used by kali- when he built the ROM, so this would end in bootloops, right?

Does anybody know how I could solve this? Maybe there is already a themed file with these additions that I could use but I'm not aware of? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Try this Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

Lots of customization;) options
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Yeah, the kitchen is looking good, might be what I was looking for :-) thanks!
[Desire Android Development] str355:
if you want to learn how it all works and do it manually (rather than take the lazy option), you just have to edit the .xml files that relate to the extra .png's in the framework. (decompile the original framework so you can read the .xml code)

use autosign to sign the flashable .zip (if you want to sign it) before flashing.

it will only bootloop if you screw the files up.
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Cool, thanks for the explanation. And yes, I always want to understand what I'm doing ;)

But I still have the question about signing the framework-res.apk file: When I edit the XML files and if I include more pics then there were before, will I have to sign the apk itself? If yes, how could I do that (I only have the test key)?
[Desire Android Development] str355:
same as me then, i like to know how it all works :)

no you dont need to sign the framework-res.apk only the flashable .zip (optional).
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
RC2 up for both gsm and cdma
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yeah, let's flash ;)
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Just as I get it like i like it....lmfao
[Desire Android Development] fenderf4i:
The screen tearing while scrolling is present in RC2.
[Desire Android Development] howdid:

[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Yea I just got bootloop. Gonna try again. Should I flash like a regular Rom with full wipe or flash update.zip? (Sorry new to clockwork with this device)
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Nice, finally a snappier stock kernel ;)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
No idea why that is mine is fine never seen that problem:o
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
I concur...

SLCD screen, if that makes any difference.
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:

other than the font being tiny on the droid2 keyboard with RC2 (fine on RC1 and all other ROMS i've used) all is good for me, thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
bemymonkey! got a pm_fast wifi module for the new kernel??? :D

I spent several hours setting up a ubuntu install, downloading the CM source and trying to build the wifi module myself.

Couldn't get it going.

:mad:
[Desire Android Development] dbolichowski:
For those having the screen tear issue, just download and flash the latest version of vork Kernel.
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yep, but they're better off flashing r8 or previous, otherwise they'll get insanely high call volume :D
[Desire Android Development] laurence0609:
Can anybody pls tell me where is the CM Wallpapers located in the system? Looking for it using File Manager but could not find it. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Does that work for cdma?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
no, but i think u find a prebuilt version on cyanogenmod forum

please, do not report bug with that kernel, if u get problem revert to stock and check if is also present on it before report (also for GSM user)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You're in luck, Kali was nice enough to compile one a few days ago ;)

[Desire Android Development] najar360:
bemy,

how to use?
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Installed RC2 and it works great... havnt had any problems so far :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Copy to /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko (overwrite old one). Make sure to backup the old one though, that hasn't been tested on RC2 yet (but works fine on the latest nightlies, so shouldn't have any problems).
[Desire Android Development] sjgore:
RC2 working fine so far. No screen tear here.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
so is it safe to say the screen tear is just affecting those with SLCD screens?

I flashed it and got the tear. SLCD here
[Desire Android Development] remalifrank:
RC2 working fine till now. No tear.
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
Is this file included in latest nightly?
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
Don't really see any point in installing this unless you're experiencing major problems with RC1, just wait for the final release.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
A bcm4329.ko file? Of course, it's required if you want working WiFi and Bluetooth ;)

The one I uploaded is a tweaked one that allows WiFi to work at full throttle when the phone's screen is off. The default module goes into PowerSave Polling mode when the screen turns off, meaning data rates drop to less than 1KB/s and incoming VoIP audio stutters or even drops out completely.

Unless you want the new features... take a look at the changelog ;)
[Desire Android Development] chtamina:
hello I'm experiencing some issues with the notification bar widget, as you can see the gps icon is NOT activated but the gps icon is there and I can't remove it, any idea?

running 6.1 rc2
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Tried looking but couldn't see any new features. Probably wasn't looking hard enough. Lol :p

Seriously what is a screen tear? I wanna update to this release but...
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Kinda like half the screen scrolls then the other half starts a second later. Looking like it's torn and scrolling separately.

But the vork kernel in the cm forums for cdma worked and seems to be all smooth now.

And I can't see anything new either.
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Luckily I never had this, maybe because I have an AMOLED Desire?

I love the RC2 so far, everything is working really smooth here and battery life seems good! Well done CM team!
[Desire Android Development] mr.vandalay:
RC2 runing great except screen tear...

desire slcd
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Should have said before Amoled no screen tear here;)
[Desire Android Development] genschsa:
Same here. Desire CDMA SLCD.
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Check out the cm forums. There is a port of the vork kernel for cdma and it fixes the screen tear. Gives a little more overclock as well.
[Desire Android Development] iamdata:
i have a s-off desire SLCD and have the scrolling tear :-( anyone got a fix for this? i read about the vork being on CDMA, but im using GSM, so i dont think i should apply this, im going to check out CM forums now. But as soon as i find a solution i will post here. :D
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Its been written a gazillion times, for now the fix is flashing the vork kernel.
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Vork is for GSM, in the forums there is a port for cdma. So all the ones in xda forums you can use since they are for GSM not cdma.
[Desire Android Development] wolfeno:
Is it needed to change something in rom for installing it with n1 partition sizes?

Does the lockscreen dialer slider always go only to Phone.apk ? Because i use Youlu dialer for default and it would be nice if the shortcut would follow the "default dialer selected". Or there would be some option to select it .. Same thing for messaging app, im sure quite some people use Handcent or other.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Blufrost and Gefrost are available for RC2. Find them at http://www.iinga.net/desire/themes

Any problems please pm me or dm me on twitter (@iinga_droid)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Nightly 195 allows you to select the app, just like the dialer button on Launcher Pro. Should be the same on RC2 I suppose... :)
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Just delete Phone.apk and Mms.apk from /system/app/ and it should work fine!
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Or settings>applications>manage applications>all>Messaging>Clear Defaults (same for phone) probably should clear the defaults
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Where is that setting ?

Doesnt work, i dont even get my SIM recognized without Phone.apk. Have you tried this yourself ?

Dialer isnt default anymore, default is Youlu, but it still goes to Vanilla Dialer. I guess its hardcoded for RC2, I wonder if i could manually change it, if it's in a .xml config file (devs?).
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Hm, i installed Dialer One and then i got the "Complete action using" dialog with Dialer One app and Vanilla Phone app. I guess the Youlu adress book doesn't have an Intent as a Dialer ? But funny, I've set it as default when I clicked on a phone number in an SMS and after I selected the Youlu app as default, the number was opened in Youlu's dialer part. Weird.

Did I read somewhere that there is a script to stop mobile internet sleeping? I am having problems with XfDroid disconnecting after approximately 2 min 40 seconds from the moment the screen is switched off. Any ideas guys?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] deaglun:
I don't know of any such script for mobile internet (i didn't think mobile internet slept when the screen was off).

however, if you're using wifi and you mean your wifi turns off when the screen turns off, then there is a solution. Firstly check your wifi sleep policiy under settings, wireless and networks, wifi settings, menu button, advanced. Make sure wifi is set to never sleep.

Then go back about 4 pages in this thread and look for the .ko file that bemymonkey has linked to. Push this to /lib/modules and your wifi will stay connected and operational at all times. I use it myself and haven't noticed any extra battery drain. My voip and media streaming work well.

[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yeah i know that tip, but idk why at times it doesn't work on my device, maybe my oj is half fried...actually yes, i was using interactive, but that never happened to me on RC1, and i used that governor all the time there, that's weird imo :(
[Desire Android Development] Twau:
I always had the freeze problem while browsing when using interactive scaling. :-(

[Desire Android Development] boelze:
just a quick note that RC2 runs fine on my device. no bugs noticed yet (installed since the day availabe).

one thing i wonder: can i install the market app without adding all of the google apps? i just want market, all the other google stuff i don't need. (installing just vending.apk doesn't work for me, crashes)

and big thanks to the devs for this great rom!
[Desire Android Development] leadfoot9281:
Only thing I ran across was a freeze up while viewing a mms message, and the over scroll would glitch if I moved the screen like a mad man lol. But I also am using the vork kernel port for cdma. Other than that it is smooth as glass.

Oh, and quad is at 1500ish, with rc1 I was getting high 1700~1800ish but it isn't noticeable.

Kudos on a great Rom!

I tried this, but then my text messaging quit working! Any ideas? I think I'm the only one with this problem.

Since running RC2, my battery drains a lot faster(30% in 6 hours standby). I flashed the 5.09.30 something radio, but in case it doesn't solve the problem, could somebody suggest a tool that is able to determine what's using the battery? With RC1 i never experienced this. Thanks in advance

[Desire Android Development] Z0l:
Thanks for the app, I'll take a look at it. Could you please also mention which radio you're using? Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] triciens:
The problem I was talking about is with mobile internet not wifi. Or maybe it's a bug in the XfDroid app. When I'm on wifi and have the screen off the app works fine. But if I'm on mobile internet and switch the screen off then the app disconnects 2 mins 40 secs later. This made me think mobile internet was sleeping but if no one else has a problem then maybe it's the app.

Anyway, back to wifi...if we need to use a script to do what the 'never sleep' option does then the 'never sleep' option is broken, right? Can the wifi module be fixed or the script be included in the CM rom?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The "Never Sleep" option isn't broken per se... the WiFi doesn't actually turn off or disconnect, but rather goes into a extremely low power mode called PowerSave Polling. While it's still associated with the access point and will receive packets eventually, any time- or throughput- sensitive applications are completely screwed.

See here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9781 or here http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2403

What we've been doing here is recompiling bcm4329.ko with ConstantAwakeMode (PM_FAST) in place of PowerSave Polling (PM_MAX)... supposedly PM_FAST uses more power in standby, but in my case there is absolutely no difference whatsoever (maybe because I have apps running that are constantly connected - Sipdroid, Skype, Trillian etc.)...
[Desire Android Development] DiamondGar:
Just want to say that i am loving RC2. I am getting much better battery life than i was on RC1. Its smooth, and i love the overscrolling.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Battery Use in "settings about phone" will give basic usage and Spare parts has more detailed battery info ( Battery history) + there are several apps on the market
