the script below works on sense roms, i use leedroid 2.4.1 on a cm7 hboot, everything seems stable and i can download all angry birds with no problem, its been copied from leedroid, i dont know whether someone can get it to work with gv?

Fixing market downloads

If you wish to bypass the problem of the small cache partition limiting market downloads, then do the following steps:

1. Use the wonderful dsixda kitchen to unpack your boot.img

2. Edit the init.rc. In the exports section add the following:

Code:

export DOWNLOAD_CACHE /mnt/asec/download

and add the following right under the section titled "# Secure container public mount points":

Code:

# Market downloads

mkdir /mnt/asec/download 0777 root system

mount tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/asec/download mode=0777,gid=1000

This will place all market downloads into a temporary ram disk, which will be deleted upon the completion of the installation.

3. Repack your boot.img and place it in the rom.

im using the a2sd script of first posts to move the virtual machine cache to sd.

My issue appear when the free space is least 80 Mb.

Then i reinstall and all is nice again.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe try changing the kernel and see if it helps? As some else posted, is you ext partition before or after the fat32?

Got my google music beta invite. Installed the app from market but now everytime i launch it, it crashes on me, launches and then back to main screen, tried clear cache of the GB original music app and this app also but still the same result? an solutions to this that I might have missed??
[Desire Android Development] daniel_costa_rj:
hi guys, why we can't use the theme change?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
You can't? It was working up to and including 2.3, when I got fed up with the little bugs (such as having to replace WidgetLocker's widgets after every boot) and got rid of it.

I assume it is the same in 2.4, but cannot test any more.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Still working fine for me... including the bugs...
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
I found out a few days ago that I can no longer download cm-themes from the market - they simply don´t appear, market enabler or not. When I try to install them via PC I can see them, but the install button is greyed out and says in a info-bubble, that the chosen app is not compatible with my device :(

I´m not sure if it´s a problem with GV or with the market itself. When I download a theme elsewhere I have no problems to install it via theme chooser.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The problem is probably that the developer has tagged the theme as being compatible with android 2.3 only. The market knows your device is a desire, and they don't have 2.3...

I found this with the market on the web - it would show apps my phone would not, but then told me they were incompatible with my phone when I signed in to install. I raised this with Google, but they have not responded.

Installation of Google Music (Beta) fails

Richard,

first of all thank you very much for this great ROM with additional features/extensions on top of CyanogenMod!

I'm currently trying to install the Google Music (Beta) app but I receive the error message

during installation. I've found this explanation from Google (I would like to add a weblink to the Google support page but the forum software doesn't let me...)

Is that something that the devs need to change for the ROM or can I somehow fix this? I'm using GingerVillain 2.4 by the way...

Many thanks,

Sven
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
I'm running Google Music in this moment and work fine. Try install Music from adb or gmail
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
Some assistance to diagnose please :)

Got my Desire a year a go, been running custom ROMs for about 10 month.

Last half year used GV without any major problems which I haven't been able to resolve myself. However now I've got one.

Got a reboot yesterday, using 2.3, flashed the latest version after that to see if that would solve the problem, no wipe. The reboots continued, so I wiped all via recovery and reflashed 2.4.

To start with sooo much more responsive than before I did a fresh wipe. Haven't wiped since 0.5.

Nevertheless, the reboots have continued, I tried flashing all kernels available in GVsetup but the problem persists.

Is there a recommended radio to try flashing?

Is there any good way of finding out if it can be a HW problem?

Is there a recommended .35 kernel I should try flashing?

Would it be beneficial to repartition the sd card?

Currently got a fat32 1.5 g and a 512 ext3.

Any advice is appreciated.

Will attach radio information in a couple of minutes.

Cheers!

[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
Since you've been using GV for a while, your radio should be compatible with Gingerbread.

What you describe is a lot like what happened when I flashed GV 2.3 (over 2.2).

In my case, it was caused by me restoring all missing apps with Titanium. As it turns out, I never deleted old backups, so when I restored all missing apps, I must have accidentally restored at least one MIUI or Sense app that was incompatible with GV.

My advice: Wipe, flash GV, don't restore apps or settings and see if your device is stable. If it is, do a Nandroid and try to restore apps through the market so you know they're compatible.

Edit:

You're using a fairly recent radio. That should be OK. I'm using 5.17.05.23, but the 5.14 one has always worked just fine.

The 2.4 default kernel has #872 instead of #871.. could that be significant?

Judging by the amount of free memory, you have quite a lot of apps installed. Could any of them be to blame?
[Desire Android Development] trion:
since your dutch and using vodafone, read this in tweakers (dutch):

http://tweakers.net/nieuws/74707/vodafone-klanten-klagen-over-herstartende-htc-telefoons.html

It's an article about HTC phones rebooting on the vodafone network.

It seems related to the 3g connection, so try switching 3g off and if that solves your problem then it's vodafone and not your phone.

Here is a translated url:

http://translate.google.com/transla...n-klagen-over-herstartende-htc-telefoons.html

BTW: i'm also using vodafone and have no problems, altough my headset connection seems to disconect sometimes and that causes it to reboot :(
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
@Martijn haven't restored any apps, had a "tough" nigh yesterday and managed to remove both nandroid and TI backups, but it's just nice to get a fresh start again ;-)

@Trion Thnx for the link! and information, shut the 3g off and only using wifi.

The problem appeared yesterday on the train back to NL, just after the border when I reconnected to the 3g network, so it would match what is being said

# Update

Just got a restart when just on wifi.

Will progress with switching radio and speak to Vodafone.
[Desire Android Development] trion:
what radio are you using?

i'm using: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

It could also be simcard number related. Vodafone are looking at it, but some people also seem to have it in other countries.

Edit: already saw you have a different radio ;-) try it on mine :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You said you tried all the kernels? Does it only happen when using the phone, or when on idle too?
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
At any time basically.

Left it over night after doing a clean install, only installed a terminal emulator and did the cachesd.

Had pinlock when I woke up. Other times whilst browsing menus and doing basic changes other times when browsing Internet or just leaving the phone idle. Very random.

Only had one reboot since going to wlan instead of 3g.

Hoping for the best and still blame Vodafone :)

At further inspections, it seems to somewhat correlate with the phone loosing network connection, see link.

Have been using the phone heavily, trying to reproduce the restarts.

http://db.tt/Y4IHGzA

Or it might be that I left it without entering the pin after a reboot :)
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Have you tested also this kernel? It's less speed focused so maybe less hw stressful.

http://famille.viollet.free.fr/DeFrostKernels/kernel.zip
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Just for my info, didn't pin-lock also pop when 3G-signal is lost and reestablished?
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
@eldinne: not that I have noticed. And I usually hear the vibration from the restarts. Had yet another when phone was laying idle.

Will google a bit more about the Vodafone related problems.

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Not for me it doesn't.. only if gone in aeroplane mode.. I use pattern for lock screen and a sim card pin lock.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are you using any undervolting script? Or undercloking and overclocking.? Using set CPU for anything? Are you using a havs kernel at the moment.. SVS should be more stable..
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
As I still blame Vodafone I've now taken the sim card out.

If no restart appear now I know for sure what it is, otherwise more checks tomorrow.

Currently running the top havs kernel in GVsetup, never had problems with a HAVS kernel before. Tried svs for a couple hours today but the problem still appeared.

No extra scripts at all.

Will report back tomorrow morning if it stayed on through the night without sim.

[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
Well, I didn't have the problem before (we don't get 3G where I work) but I've had at least two reboots since I left work. So it might be the same issue.
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
So, uptime +12h since pulling the sim card.

Fault is definitely with our lovely Vodafone.

Thnx for the help guys, now I'm looking forward to a pointless call with Vodafone-CS.

#Update#

For sure not ROM-related, Any Moderator can remove most of my above posts, perhaps just leave the link from @Trion as that is the root-cause of my problem. Uptime 16h since removal of SIM-card

[Desire Android Development] kboeckx:
Is your phone getting hot just before the reboot? Also are you using GPS during the time that it reboot.

If so you probaly have a hardware issue... do a stress test with setcpu. If phone reboots during stress test You have a hardware issue for sure.
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
Which radio would you recommend? I have 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 but I'm totally unhappy with it. A lot of signal losses happen.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Try them all out until you find one that suits your needs.

Unfortunately there is no universal answer to this question. For instance, I'm using 05.23 and it's working great for me. I even seem to be getting better battery life with it (to be confirmed...)
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
hey EV, is your kernel still compatible with the latest GV? cant find it in GVSetup though
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
HI. Yes. My kernels are still compatible with GV. They were removed from GVSetup because at one point the 1.4 version was incompatible with a version of GV. It was fixed with a future version of GV (can't remember which one though).

However, 1.4 and 2.0 versions of the kernel are compatible with GV.

The Kernel works like a charme with GV
[Desire Android Development] rexzooly:
Hey I updated with OTA update from 2.1 to 2.3 all went well then I did the 2.4 update and it dropped in to recovery and crashed restarted the device and it was ok popped back in to 2.3 did the update again this time it started the update said it was completed and then it restarted and hang at the HTC screen anyone know why this might of happened and and can I reisntall from the 2.3 zip?
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
possible a corrupted download, redownload 2.4 and retry,clear cache too
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What ota version.did you use? How did you flash the new version? You can turn the phone off, hold the down button while turning the phone on and it will take you to hboot.. go to recovery with the volume keys and then hit the power button, this will take you to recovery where you can restore your 2.3 nandroid or flash the 2.3...
[Desire Android Development] rexzooly:
Yes the 2.4 OTA download seemed to be damaged so I reinstalled from the 2.3 OTA update so I could redownload the 2.4 downloaded it then cleaned it all and installed via the sdcard, the auto install did not work but that don't matter 2.4 with android 2.3.4

@

mattmanwrx

I really sorry but I really don't get what your post means end of the day I stated what version I was using 2.1(android 2.3.3) > 2.3 (android 2.3.4)> 2.4(android 2.3.4)

I already fixed it before anyone replied but

was on the ball so anyone else with this fault should follow his post.

Thanks anyway guys.

Hi folks,

I have had GV 2.4 for a couple of days now and I don't seem to get any sound after disconnecting from bluetooth. I noticed a few folks mentioned that they were having this problem as well, has anyone seen or know of a solution to this?

Thanks,

There's no solution, but there's a workaround. You can switch off your phone's Bluetooth before switching off your Bluetooth device. It works that way.

Battery drain issues

I didn't have battery drain in 2.3 but for the first time after moving to the latest GV (2.4) I experienced twice more drain as I was used to. I couldn't figure out where it came from so I decided to do a reset to default and clear all cache, dalvik, etc. Then a restore of applications and data but not system settings. After this it was all fine again .. problem solved. It seems that sometimes a reset to defaults and clear your stuff is needed ;) but that's just my thought.

It could have been because of an application but I didn't want to spend too much time in investigating which one it was .. this was faster :D
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Im not sure, but I think it was after installing 2.3 that when Im using google maps, while loading the maps via wifi or mobile internet, its extremley laggy !! .. Im 100% sure its not the connection problem, and the navigation works fine with no lag at all. Its just maps, when I search for a place or zoom in/out. In some cases when it slows down alot, my phone reboots it self !! .. I never had that problem, any suggestions ? Thnx !
[Desire Android Development] :
When I enable/disable wifi I get the message:

Network mode state unknown. Please change it manually.

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Can you forget the network and reconnect to see if it fixes problem?

you could try restarting the phone, then forget the network. failing which, wiping and reinstalling GV would be a good idea

Nope.

There is nothing in my kernel that fixes the problem. I can assure you that the call delay still exists in the 2.0 kernels.

However, the problem seems to have been fixed for me with GV 2.4. I don't seem to have the delay any more.

Hi !

I've switched today from OpenDesire to GingerVilain and i'm quite happy.

I have two questions :

1- Is it possible to get back easily the battery icon from OpenDesire, i loved it

2- Is it possible to change the default color to white ?

Another remark for the 1st topic: please add a note saying the Oxygen en CM7 HBOOT are NOT compatible with GingerVilain => I spent hours on the "Why so serious" screen !

I finally used the DATA++ HBOOT

Thanks !
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Then it seems normal to me.. is strange though.. maybe as I say you had the gmail notification for that long?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I've not seen the open desire bat mod but you can go settings / cm settings / interface / status bar / batt mod.. or you can try the other themes and mods out like hoolms circlesmod..

For the second question you could try the theme choser app and find a theme on xda.. there are loads on the board, even just searching cm7 theme choser on Google gets results..

And it has been said about the cm7 hboot in the thread, a post would have gotten you a reply, and a search within the thread would have been even quicker ;)

Edit, you know about the gingerbread feature for when.the status bar icons turn from white to green?
[Desire Android Development] i6bazar:
Thanks for your answer :)

1/ I was thinking about using a mod but i cannot find the same. I was wondering if it was easy to extract from the framework-res.apk or any other file from the OpenDesire rom archive.

2/ I'll check but if an option for the default font color were available, it would have been easier :) I'll check for an app chooser in the forum

3/ No I didn't know this feature (seems related to the fact to be connected with google servers)

Cheers,

Just to make sure, you dont have "use only 2g networks" ticked..?

Anyway, you're comparing results from two different roms on the same phone... meaning you must have taken at least 5 minutes (to flash the Rom) before doing the second part of the test, meaning that the results are not done at the same.time, making.the test irrelevant, as far as I'm concerned.. :)

If you still feel it is an issue, please ring your network provider.
