Where can I find the vorkKernal? I have been interested in changing mine out for awhile but I wasn't sure if they are CDMA/GSM specific, etc.

Also, how complicated is it to do the swap out? Just like flashing a zip from sd when installing cyanogen?

Thanks

Dave
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Well said! Totally agree...

You can find the vorkkernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8145535&postcount=1 Flash it in recovery. It's based on CM's kernel but with extra tweaks.

Haven't done the swap out thing, so not sure about that...
[Desire Android Development] aleksei87:
CM 6.1 is great, and one of my favourite functionalities is "vol key to skip song"

However there's a bug in it. Holding vol + changes to next song, but also increases volume, unless release it just before the song is skipped
[Desire Android Development] tiring_day:
Hi all

Total noob here, I have flashed 6.1 when it came out and love the speed and the battery saving it is giving me over Sense. The only gripe I have is the screen lagging when scrolling on stuff like the app drawer or a twitter feed. Just tried flashing the vorkKernel after reading through the thread but that does not appear to have helped. Restoring back to where I was 30 mins ago. Is it just my phone or is this just how it is?

Any other suggestion on making the experience smoother.

Thanks in Advance

Steve
[Desire Android Development] echohack:
You sure it flashed correctly? Try flashing an other kernel to see if it helps. I have no idea how just to Restore the kernel other than re flashing entire ROM.

Quick question: Firerat Apps2EXT on CM6 for Desire... Script or flashable zip file? Which do you recommend?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
The script has been abandoned and the flashable zip is in beta phase. So, difficult choice. I'm using the script now and it's working great. I like the fact that you can easily move programs from SD-ext to Data and vice versa. So for now I'm sticking with the script and I can definitely recommend it. But that's just my opinion...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
OK, trying the script now. Just run the latest version in the running system (not recovery), right?

Thanks! :)

BTW: Does moving /data/data/ to the SD card work well on CM6? Or really still just a buggy addition that should never be used...?

-edit- I just realized there isn't an option for moving Dalvik-Cache :o... is it alright to use the patch or that in addition to the script?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Yes, in running version. I believe I choose all the defaults, so if that included moving /data/data then it works without any problems ;)

Firerat responded that he doesn't believe in moving Dalvik-cache as mentioned in this post: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9830-61-rc1-and-partition-table/page__view__findpost__p__86495 I think it is okay to move DC though since Firerat uses it in other scripts...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Sounds good. I've run the script now, including moving /data/data, and everything works fine so far - except strangely, my Gmail app settings reset themselves... :confused:

Does this happen for all apps in /system/app/?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
That's strange. I've installed the script after a fresh install so I never experienced this issue. Does it happen on each reboot?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Not really sure... Twitter and Facebook aren't having the problem. Rebooting to check...

-edit- Looks like it only happened the first time.

Have you upgraded to a new CM6 version after installing Firerat's script? Does it all work well, even with /data/data/ moved?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Actually haven't tried upgrading since 6.1RC is just perfect for me... For the moment anyway ;) But I think it shouldn't cause issues.

As I recall, you developed some WIFI-no sleep modules in the past, right? I was just wondering, have you made one for 6.1 and if so, does it notably affect battery life??
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
This one works perfectly on 6.1RC1 and nightlies 150+: http://www.multiupload.com/X06O7IDIIU

No discernible effects on battery life. :)

Thanks a lot!!
[Desire Android Development] unnddd:
Am I the only person who is getting multi-coloured pixels for about 10 seconds at every boot, before ending up with 'process system is not responding'? My phone is AMOLED and S-OFF with H-BOOT 0.93. In addition, I've tried a number of different radios to no avail. Am I alone in this? Should I be concerned and return my phone (Three have told me that as they replaced my SLCD with AMOLED, I can send my AMOLED phone back and get an SLCD one instead)?

Thanks as it seems great from the comments. I just can't get it working. I've had this problem on some other ROMs also, but not all.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to add that I have the N1Table patch as well.
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
I'm not sure if its the rom or your phone but i dont have any of those problem. Did you full wipe? Try reflashing and most importantly, do a md5 checksum for the rom. Could be corrupted hence the system not responding. I have exactly same model as yours and s-off'edd, n1 table and such but it wont be related i guess.

Does apps2sd have to be specially fine tuned for CM6 or can I install just about any Apps2sd on it?

do we need to install setcpu to downclock the kernel?

even wiping everything 3 times.

I give up on this rom for now. I thought the RC1 would have fixed a lot of problems but it's a whole load of messing to get the rom how i like.

I have switched to Defrost now and it runs a lot smoother for me. Not sure if that is just the OC in it.

Only things i'm missing are CM specific settings, menu to unlock, browser hide visual zoom controls. Oh and i miss the dark theme but not sure if the files that contain the dark elements are able to be applied to Defrost rom?

I mainly just like the messaging app being black/dark. How can i make this work on Defrost.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
not sure why people OC thier phones.

Seems a bit pointless.
[Desire Android Development] fuqi:
can't export my custom color settings to sdcard, says failed to write xml-file.

my sdcard is working for sure.

any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] SousukeUK:
Bcoz Google asked Cyanogen to exclude their apps from their so called open source OS on the ground of copyright.

So the google apps are not part of the rom package.

install the rom first then you can just install the zip file even without rebooting.

so when you reboot you got all your google apps including the phone setup wizard.

[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
Since I'm not in the US I dont need Amazon mp3 nor GoogleVoice. I removed these from the gapps zip prior to flashing it and they still got installed! anyone know why?

I've also followed the instructions how to remove system/app's with adb from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones without success.

What do I do? GoogleVoice is not a big deal, but that damn amazon always runs in the background.
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
Would help if you were a bit more specific, but I'm guessing you're not running adb from recovery and your changes are getting reverted due to the NAND lock - remember the Desire root doesn't give write access to /system while booted!

Reboot the phone into recovery mode, connect via USB and then execute the commands:

adb shell mount -a (mounts all the partitions so you can access them - might take a little while)

adb shell ls /system/app (displays a list of the applications on the system partition)

adb shell rm /system/app/whatever.apk

and so on, as on the guide you linked...
[Desire Android Development] Torhac:
I'm experiencing an issue with Rom Manager using this ROM. Every time I try flashing the Clockworkmod recovery, i get this message: "An error occurred while downloading your recovery". Anyone else?

Edit: Probably the recovery server that is down.

Love this ROM!!
[Desire Android Development] Marreboy:
Probably for the same reasons that dogs lick themselves... Because they can. :D
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
thank you. shell mount -a didn't work, but i figured it out.

I booted into recovery with

- ./adb reboot recovery

- plugged in phone to usb

- then ran a script called ./recovery-mac (which brings you to the screen where you can choose wipe, backup, etc)

- ./adb remount (this was finally successful)

- ./adb shell

- browsed to system/app and deleted the unwanted apks.

- find | grep amazon (in the case i wanted to get rid of amazon)

- rm -rf all the find results from the command above (i did this because the pm uninstall 'package name' did not work)

good night
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
thanks... I wasn't want to it, too...
[Desire Android Development] failers:
or because flash runs smoother on the phone and same goes for games
[Desire Android Development] georgemv:
I would prefer stock speeds, maybe with an under voltage option.

It's a mobile device after all. Like I don't want an i7 on my laptop, I don't want an o/c CPU on my phone.

This is a personal opinion, not a flame starter :)
[Desire Android Development] Dr.No.pt:
I cannot log in with my gmail account to sync my contacts in this version, why ?

"checking incoming server settings" and then "setup could not finish - Unable to open a connection to server"

If i browse it works fine and in the browser i can login to my gmail account fine.

Clean install with full wipe. Using latest radio too (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27)

The funny part is if i install the same way 6.02 it syncs my contacts fine.

Can someone help and point me in the right direction ?

Thank you :D
[Desire Android Development] franktitude:
hmm wheres the link to DL the rom?
[Desire Android Development] :
I installed CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC1 on my HTC Desire, and I was wondering if I would get OTA updates when I decide to upgrade to ROM Manager Premium.
[Desire Android Development] Dr.No.pt:
Forget about my last post. I forgot to install google apps. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] unnddd:
I've now restored everything to stock and I'm going to try again, without S-OFF. I'll see how it goes, but I'm not really expecting it to work...

Edit: I've now attempted it and this time the only difference is that I get horizontal lines for about 10 seconds. This doesn't surprise me as previously I had a Nexus One boot screen, which may have caused the multi-coloured pixels. It then continues to boot and I get 'Process system is not responding' much like I did previously. So it seems it has nothing to do with S-OFF. In addition, I've verified the checksums of all of the zips on the sd card. Could it be that my ext3 partition is corrupted in some way? That's the only thing that could possibly be different from anyone else's Desire...

Edit 2: Nope, it's not that either. I'm running out of ideas. I might as well return my phone. Any advantages to the SLCD other that getting rid of the awful pentile matrix on the AMOLED?
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
Try using other card then without any ext3 partition. If not, its gotta be the hardware i'm afraid. No idea bout the SLCD though~~
[Desire Android Development] :
I own the AMOLED Desire myself, and I've compared it with an SLCD version which I had in my hands a few days ago.

I must say that I haven't actually seen any differences. The AMOLED screen has more vivid colors, and is using less battery power than the SLCD screen.

When you display webpages with white backgrounds, it will be better to have an SLCD screen instead, because white consumes more power on an AMOLED screen.
[Desire Android Development] rynon:
what do I need? gsm or cdma? and where can i find the download link?
[Desire Android Development] d2kx:
After, just for fun, having used the stock HTC Desire firmware (2.29.405.2) for a week now, I can only say that CyanogenMod is the way to go tbh... I hate the HTC Sense versions of Contacts, Twitter, Mail etc. and CyanogenMod is just Vanilla-Android with very useful additions (with the launcher the only thing that I do not 100% like but hey that's okay).
[Desire Android Development] unnddd:
I've tried booting without a card altogether and exactly the same thing happened. Unfortunately, if it is hardware, I can imagine it causing even more problems later on. Maybe that's why it was refurbished in the first place...

In that case I'll probably just exchange my phone again. I had none of these problems when I had the SLCD phone. I can't stand the pentile matrix and pinkish whites I get either!
[Desire Android Development] spudley:
random corruption?

Do you guys never see random corruption with this rom? My install seem to run good for a week, then it goes all to hell.

Sometimes I can clear the cache and davlik cache and it' all good again. Today, though, an error popped about google interface and now my maps & navigation is "gone"... at the same time, a few other apps disappeared too.

reboot, wipe cache/etc doesn't fix it. I have to redownload all from the market. Another reboot, and maps/nav is gone again.

Suggestions? I'm thinking of trying a different ROM suggestions there (need wifi router and camera)? or just do a full wipe and install of CM 6.1?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Been using RC1 since the day it was put up, no corruption whatsoever. Yes try full wipe and reflashing the rom and gapps (the latest one).
[Desire Android Development] deaglun:
Ive been using RC1 for a couple of days now, with the N1 partition table. I haven't encountered any issues as yet. not one. Radio volume is a bit loud for my tastes, but aside from that I'm a happy camper. Getting good battery life. I'm also using the no-sleep wifi driver posted by Bemymonkey. Loving the extra app storage space with the N1 table too.

Thanks to all involved.

OpenVPN

Hi all!

I've updated to CM6.1rc1 yesterday. Pretty good so far :) Only thing I'm missing is a working OpenVPN :( I can connect for one time without LZO compression. But no further time. With LZO no connection happens at all :( Any ideas, anyone?

Was working fine with 6.0.2
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
about openvpn, is a kernel bug and will be fixed with experimental kernel merge

I have an issue related to wifi. I always keep wifi on when i'm home or open wifi zones, and this is the first time i have this issue: spare parts has got 100% usage on both Wifi On and Wifi Running. Is anyone experiencing similar problems?
[Desire Android Development] echohack:
Hmm, im not. My wifi goes to sleep on standby it seems like. I'v had the same problem you have on other roms tho. Does it drain more battery you think? If not it doesnt really matter right ;)
[Desire Android Development] Fain:
Settings - Wireless & networks - Wi-Fi settings - Press the Menu key - Advanced - Wi-Fi sleep policy - Never

Sleep on standby issue resolved.
[Desire Android Development] c4p3fi3rr:
The weird thing is that it worked perfectly till a couple of days ago.Wifi sleep policy always set on "never". I didn't change anything in my configuration, other than flashing AmonRA in place of PSFreedom.

Does wifi use more energy than mobile data?
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
Yes, exactly...more energy than mobile data
[Desire Android Development] deaglun:
najar360: I'm not using either. I flashed the nexus one partition table which gives you more storage space for apps on the device itself. Between that and froyo's built-in app moving to SD, I don't need any other app2sd solution. You may need more apps than me though!
[Desire Android Development] MercuryStar:
While not transferring data, yes. It uses much more energy while idle.

While transferring data, however, wifi typically uses less energy. But then, for most people the connection will be idle a lot more than it is transferring data so overall wifi will suck more battery.
[Desire Android Development] tabsina:
When I hold the power button and select Power Off, about 50% of the time it'll turn off, the other 50% it'll show the cyanogen logo and start up the phone again (a soft reboot? i don't know, it doesn't show the first bootscreen)

is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Interesting i leave wifi on most of the time whilst at home and screen off idle battery use seems negligible and in use it also seems to use very little battery

Wifi on screen off <1% an hour
[Desire Android Development] MercuryStar:
If you set the wifi to stay on with screen off, wifi on this device goes into a special power saving mode. It tries to recover some battery life. There is a patch floating around (probably in this thread) which disables that, so you get fast, smooth wifi operation even with the screen off. It uses more battery though.

Even with the screen off and power saving though, idle wifi should still use more power than idle 3G.

All in all though, you're right that in the scheme of things low-usage wifi is a small percentage of your battery use - screen backlight is the 800 pound gorilla.
[Desire Android Development] sjgore:
I get exactly this too, when either powering off or rebooting. It didn't used to happen, only for about the last couple of weeks. Can't say exactly when, I'm afraid. I'm on 182 now, and it still does it.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Don't have that problem here and I'm running 6.1 for quite a while now. Did it happen immediately after installing RC6.1? If so, did you perform a full-wipe? Or did it start to happen after installing certain apps? Anyway, I'd recommend a full-wipe and reinstall...

Started happening when I switched from OpenDesire 4.0.36 to RC1, i did a full wipe prior to installing RC1.. the only other big "root" type thing i remember doing since then was restore using titanium backup. I'll do a rewipe later, it has only been issue when i'm walking into an exam and i have to pull out my battery because the phone decides to not turn off by normal methods
[Desire Android Development] mi3x:
Hello,

Just switch from Oxygen, done a little cleaning in the rom, I have a few problems though.

1st - I am s-off + N1 Table, having 195 mb free after flashing the ROM. when I restore my apps with TB (should still have ~45 mb free after this), I get ~80% during restoring the :low space: notification, and then it reboots in an endless loop, this is normal I guess, no space ... but why since I have 195 after flashing?

2nd - what is the DEV tools apk to remove before flashing the rom, I don t use that.

That would be all. Thanks. Hope to solve this, else I will be forced to switch to OD, though it has been discontinued.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
hmm, strange behavior... I think a full-wipe/reinstall should help, just don't restore system settings with TB. Hope it helps, goodluck...
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
First, maybe you just have too many apps. Try restoring them not all at once. See what happens. When running out of space, you could always move apps to SD or you could install Firerat/Darktremor apps2sd.

Second, you can easily remove dev tools before flashing...
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
It's normal as RC1 don't have A2SD like oxygen. SO here's whats happening when u restore the apps they directly use the available memory i.e 195 mb. But if u install Darktremors a2sd just execute it and don't execute the Cachesd command u will be all right. Ur apps will be on SD card while your cache will be used from 195 mb and shall be all right. If this does not suits u. Simply move the large size apps to sd card via application manager and remember don't move apps with widgets as moving then to SD card will make them unusable.
[Desire Android Development] mi3x:
thx for explaining, can I just flash Darktremor Apps2SD flashable zip? ( dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-signed.zip ), or do I need to do something else first? As said I am s-off, N1 Table.

Please advise. Ty!
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
do you even need darktremor/firerat script? - use the froyo style a2ext first. this is the froyo native app2sd. in the application settings you can move your app 2 sd, if the developer allowed it.
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
yesterday, my phones hangs a lot. require lots of battery removing. then i let it standby without touching it for 10 hours and yay its back to smooth again.

then i went to sleep, and when i woke up, there is no mobile connection? why is it? i tried flight mode, rebooting, removing battery, removing sims but no good. then i have a plane to catch today, so i turn it into flight mode(in my mind, is it hardware, or rom? and i plan to change rom after my flight), then i turn it on again after my flight(took about an hour) and my mobile network is back. yay! i'm still wondering, why is it? and now my phone is laggy as hell, especially waking up and opening the gallery. been using rc1 for 3 weeks and this is the first time it happens. i even get the no sim card error 2 days ago. i wanna go to new roms but everytime i wanna go, it works. ya know everybody loves CM, and when it works why leave right?

I am s-off, using latest BFS vorkKernel by benee and no recent apps installed. and love flashing themes~
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Are there any plans when the next RC (or the final version) will be released? :)
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
we are waiting RC2 patiently. ;)
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Although it would be nice to know, the first rule of Cyanogen is to never ask for ETA's... ;)
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
I didn't know that :D

In the meantime I'm checking out Oxygen. It's nice, but feels like 2 steps behind CyanogenMod with it's nice CM menu and all the tweaks. Also it isn't faster at all, so as soon as CM RC2 comes out I'm switching back ;)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
For me the nightly builds are very stable and almost perfect for everyday use:D

I did try oxygen and although initially impressed the longer i used it the more i thought i wish it had this, that and the other CM feature;)

But each to his own:cool:
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Tried Oxygen too, however, switched back almost immediately. I find it kinda funny that in the end stages of OD both the users and the creator were saying they wanted to step away from CM and start from scratch, but now everyone is asking for Cyanogen implementations. Anyway, CM is great and the RC1 feels really stable and fast. I can recommend it to everyone for daily usage -although it might become boring since I can't find any flaws, but I guess Kali- is to blame for that ;) -...
