Now I have done a full wipe but Storm8 games still doesnt work. :mad:

Time to try a new rom?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Have you tried contacting storm8? Maybe they know about this bug, and can tell you what to do to fix it... how do you know another Rom won't do the same?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
because I belive the webkit acc that comes with GV 2.5 causes it
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Can you explain to me what the webkit acceleration does? And also why you think it clashes with storm8?

I cannot find any info about it?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Because the storm8 games work with all other roms than Gingervillain 2.5. I just installed on my wifes Samsung Spica and not problem there either.

It worked perfect with all earlier GV and the new major change in 2.5 was the webkit acc, right? What the webkit acc does I have no idea but something **** up the game.
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Can anybody install any of the storm8 game and see if you get the same **** as I do?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
give me link to a storm8 game .. ill try it out
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
fair enough, however, after doing some googling, it looks like it only does something to the web drowser! not too sure though...

Maybe see if it is the same as cm7, as if not, it is the work of Mr. Trip.
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
Okay.. I might be totally wrong here (and if so, I apologise).. but here goes:

From a quick websearch, it would seem that a fairly recent change to the webkit code allows it to "automagically" make use of hardware 3D acceleration when it could improve the rendering speed. This causes switching between accelerated and non-accelerated graphics contexts. Unfortunately, there has been a bug where accelerated rendering of one part of the screen could cause hardware acceleration to be unnecessarily and incorrectly applied to other parts as well.

There have been cases where this switching had unintended side-effects which could affect subpixel anti-aliasing or cause different elements on a screen to bleed over their borders somehow.

For example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...tion-bleeding-into-other-elements-on-the-page

I have not seen this happen, but it's conceivable that this is what's happening with these games. I'm just speculating, but this might well have something to do with the webkit acceleration, as Unikum's assumes.

If it's indeed this bug, then it might be fixed in a later version of Webkit.

what I understand the game is web based
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea I know it is web based... I have a team lava game which is storm8 (uses storm8 id.) and it is working fine...
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
No one?

I've read something about metamorph, but don't know how it works and can't use it because of low space in /system...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I can take a look at this for you tomorrow... how transparent do you want it? For instance in blufrost the pull down is transparent.. is a dark transparent though...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
shall i use manu kernel 1.4 or 2.0?
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
That's the same kernel that i use and i get great battery life with the 5.14.05.17 radio
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
oh woow i guess i should try out that kernel before i try manu kernel. anyone else think gv havs cfs (900mv minimum) is better than the manu kernels?
[Desire Android Development] naguz:
Ok, but I would still like to give it try, so if anyone knows what keeps a2sd cachepart from working here, is welcome to shout out. I've just moved the cache to sd, and I seem to have some performance hot, although it might just be my imagination.
[Desire Android Development] fossean:
I have exactly the same issue (with World War Storm8 game). Interesting idea about the webkit acceleration being the culprit. I searched thoroughly on the Storm8 forum, but it doesn't seem to be a common problem.
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
sounds great, thank you very much.

i'd like to see my wallpaper especially through the statusbar , so transparency level like this one has

would be nice. pull down similar...

@richardtrip:

are you willing to add the permission management of cm7 into GV?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i flashed this kernel through villain setup. but how to i know that i actually successfullt flashed it as in kernel version its named with a number at the end and not gv 2.2 HAVS 1113Mhz + CFS.

lol i found the culprit that keep waking my phone when its idle. its the weather and google search app which has networklocation service running.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Unfortunately rt's kernels aren't named, so you must remember what you flashed, or flash again :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok thanks. btw new cm7 hboot released and apparently it works with gv.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Just seen that, thanks for pointing it out, may still get market issues though...! will have to see! I've actually moved to custom MTDs and it is so much better! got 244mb internal :) with like 100mb free! :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
btw when i was on cm7 i has 5mb cache and it did not cause market issue, why would it cause issues on gv? nice but i alwys thought custom MTD is too difficult to do. btw which version of manu kernel u using?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Posted the other day about it...

and then -
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
nice to see I am not alone.

to the devs: any chance you can give me info about what file(s) I can remove or modify to solve this problem?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok thank. well ill flash new cm7r2 hboot and let you guys know if i get any problems. oh well atleast i found which radio works best for me. still on my quest to find best kernel.

jst tried new hboot. sadly it causes fone to reboot wen using market :( do not flash new hboot, it doesnt let you to flash n1table over it. gota use cm7 :(
[Desire Android Development] :
Oh well you made it work? :)

I got /system ... 130MB , /cache 25MB and it is working great :)

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
When I take a picture with my phone, it gets saved on my SD card and I can see it in the gallery. But when I restart the phone, I can't see the newly taken pictures in the gallery and I have to uae the Astro file manager in order to see those new pictures under the DCIM/Camera section .. why is it like that ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, no thanks to you getting yours to work and then leaving me ;) lol, joking... yea got it to work... Felt like a right fool when I realised my mistake...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
When u open up the gallery does the toast POP up and say "loading new thumbs and albums" or something...
[Desire Android Development] :
Tell me about it :D My mistake was hilarious, too ;)

Why did you choose to make the /cache that big?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
gallery is the worst app ever, totally useless

use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result instead
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
cos, I have seen my /cache fill up to the top... so I wanted to make it a bit larger tha nwhat otehr people have done... yes, i'm only using 16mb now, but in the future I may use more! if not, bring it down... I'm not low on internal anyway, so didnt really "need" to do this, just frees up some /cache space...

Do you know, can I know just change the mtdpartmap.txt to another value and then do the boot, or have to do the whole thing again?
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
I think you want to run the recovery eboot as well as the boot if changing the file
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
not an android magician but i guess you need to do the whole process again.

the tricky part is that once you change the mtd layout the system will adress sth in the data partition which is already in the cache and vice versa.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I was expecting to do it all over again...! plus i suppose it is safer! :)
[Desire Android Development] zocker7:
hi @all i want this 2.5 update and im on 2.4..must i do an new install+wipe or can in update this without loose any data
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
if you do not have any tweaks over it it should be ok.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
pheww im back on gv :) dont use new hboots.
[Desire Android Development] zocker7:
@lexxa no i have the blank 2.4 but a lots of apps installed
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, i've spent from 10 o clock till now (almost 2 o clock) getting the status bar transparent!!! its diddicult, to say the least! I have achieved what you wanted, but not to the best of standards! infact, I dont really like it, and think that with more time, it could be a lot better!

Because the statusbar is not supposed to be transparent, when in the app, it displays a horrid colour (in my opinion). and doesnt really look good. The only time it may look good is the homepage - but then i would just hide the notification bar (with launcher pro).

I even had to download smali and baksmali to decompile the classes.dex and search for the bloody mod! it was difficult!

I think it looks better with the non transparent bar... let me know what you think... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
just flash over the top of 2.4 then... take a nandroid first just incase! :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
out of curosity ,,,, do i need to have fully charged battery to flash kernel?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
no, but this may help you http://www.xda-developers.com/android/calibrate-your-htc-desire-battery/
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
no u dont need a full charge, and as MM stated, a calibration helps
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
cheers guys. is cm lockscreen gestures in gv 2.4? because i cant seem to find it in v2.5
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
guess not, do you use it anyways, cause i don't
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
yh i use it. because i have been using cm7 before. so anyone know if itll be there in the next version?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
you could extract a cmparts from an older GV i.e. GV 2.4 and place that apk into a flashable.zip... ;)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ill just wait for next version lol....do you wipe battery stats after callibration or before. im confused.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I thought you might say that; so I done it for you! ;)

Please nandroid though, I havent tested it!

EDIT: one download, did this work?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
umm lets see...

Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.

Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.

Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.

Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

It doesnt actually say, (cos to delete bat stats u need to be rooted), but I would delete them before!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ops ill wipe battery stats and carry on charging..
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
A hundred million thanks.

I did not know that it lasts so long to change this, sry. :o

Shame on me, but i quite agree with you :(

On homescreen and pull down it looks really nice but in some apps it is terrible.

Sorry for the circumstances.

In launcher pro the statusbar is hidden permanently, thats annoying...

Have a nice weekend!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The downgrade hboot is now available.

Also all of the hboots have been replaced, even those whose mtds have not changed (they add new features). So I expect you could flash new versions of the old ones over the new ones with no problems.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No need to apolgies, I wanted to take on the challange!

I do think that if you set the picture to a correct place, then you may get away with it! however, in those apps, it just doesnt look to good!

Launcherpro has the option to hide the status bar. I set it to hide, and then have a swipe to see it again!

I guess you are now wanting the orginial framework too, to get rid of the mods? or are you keeping it for a while... it is starting to grow on me though! lol
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Just downgraded to 2.4. Storm8 games works as it should again.

Unless something very important will show up in future releases I think I will stay with 2.4
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i thought the oxygen r2 and cm7 r2 is the only new hboots? :confused: ....callibrated battery and now find out i need to flash updated version of the n1table... just great....my battery must be recked
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Nope, just the that CM7 and Oxygen are the only ones with r2 in the names (as sizes have changed).

I downloaded new versions of all of them, and files are different (slightly smaller, different names for the PB99IMGs). Makes sense - why add new features only to 2 of them?
[Desire Android Development] :
What new features?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Main ones are cid hiding (so no goldcard needed), RUU-proof (downgradeable hboot available if need to go S-On). Can't remember whether misc flashing was already available or not.

Alpharev website updated with details.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
battery drains so quik from 100% to 99% in a few seconds after i unplug charger? and takes ages to charge to 100%. is this normal?

i see my self next year with icecream villain ;) i like the sound of that.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
No it doesnt
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Thnx man
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
I have a custom MTD with 5MB /cache partition, impossible for the Market to download apps bigger than 5MB.

I tested symbolic links and special mounting like "mount -o bind /data/local/download /cache/download", it doesn't work.

Any idea ? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Mohan herle:
Thanks a ton for the information which worked like a charm. I had this problem of space on my Desire from quite a long time.
[Desire Android Development] yeahimdukenukem:
Hey Guys,

Just changed my Defrost to GingerVillain and have to say: IT'S GREAT :)))

But I have 2 questions:

1. Which is the default kernel? Is it the 1113 HAVS CFS @ 900 mV? Where can I find that?

2. I have read that the SetCPU settings should be different than those from Defrost. I had 128-998 with smartass governor on EVioletts HAVS-AXI CFS kernel. Shall I set the same settings here?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
you can find that kernel under the villain setup.
[Desire Android Development] yeahimdukenukem:
Sorry, I meant, where can I get the info which kernel is installed?

BTW: Second question is already solved :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
go to settings then about phone . it should say somewhere in there. richard trip kernel are tagged with a number so it will not say if its 1113mhz hav 900mv.
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
could you please post a link.

would like to give it a try during the weekend
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
its on the alpharev website. (www.alpharev.nl) the new n1table has different md5sum from the old one. thats how you know its the new one as the old and new one do not have a name change.
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:

I just flashed 2.5 again to get back the original framework. No more work for you :rolleyes:

If i hide the status bar in launcherpro there is see no option to swipe to see it again. Isn't that awd launcher?

A2SD+ Problem?

Hey Guys.

I experienced a problem with A2SD+.

Flashed the newest 2.5 rom and installed titanium backup (to restore my apps) and a2sd gui.

CyanogenMod App Setting is "Internal".

A2SD GUI says "Apps on SD"

Also the symlinks points to the SD-ext/app folder (checked with adb shell).

Looks good so far.

If i rerstore an app the app goes to sd-ext/app (checked with "adb shell").

The problem is my internal storage run out of memory (checked with a2sd gui and titanium backup) :(

Example: When i install/restore Google Earth (~14MB) the internal storage decreases :(

Have tried:

su

a2sd check

Output looks good, script says all on SD-EXT

Also tried: a2sd reinstall

The last thing what i have tried is to wipe all userdata and reflash the whole image -> same problem.

Please help me out.

thx

pOpY

Edit: ext partion has ext4 filesystem
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Did you do what's written on the first page?

su
a2sd cachesd
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Sorry about that. I read your problem too quickly.

It is absolutely normal for an app to take up internal space. This ALWAYS happens regardless of where you put your apps.

So nothing to be worried about.
[Desire Android Development] popy2006:
am i missing something ;) !?

normally the apps goes to data/app

a2sd script symlinks this directory and points to sd-ext/app.

so now all apps goes to the ext partition.

rigth?

so why applications like a2sd gui and titanium backup shows a "wrong" free space.

My free memory on sd-ext is ~850MB - shouldnt a2sd gui and TB show this value?

Before i have moved cache to sd i had about 90MB free in internal memory.

After restoring all my apps i ran out of internal space.

BUT a2sd+ is running correctly!?

cu

pOpY
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Where are you getting the figures from? Use quick system.info, its reliable..

Eviollet is right, and I think Google earth may be a bad example.. try with something like angry birds? Although, moving angry birds to SD card Google style takes up less internal space than on ext.. as it has been improved since froyo.
[Desire Android Development] popy2006:
You are rigth!!! My faul!!

No idea from where i have this info :rolleyes:

Installed angry birds and internal storage hasnt changed.

thx and sorry

[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Nope... first thing I do after a wipe and a fresh flash is to d/l a terminal and the above commands.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
is it possible to use s2e application to move data to sd card?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You can try, but other cm7 scripts don't work with gv..
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
I notice the same sort of effect when using 'reddit is fun' and zooming in/out of images...

I'd suspect the same thing as well: the webkit acceleration causing the issues.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
what other cm7 scripts?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Like the symlinking /cache to /data
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok i guess the s2e wont work then.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:

Where do I set Contact specific ringtones in this ROM? I only see my Contacts via the call-log basically. When I opt to Edit the contact there is nothing related to its ringtone selection. Weird, I would think this would be a given, the cheapest phones out there already offer this option.. Anyone?
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
I found Green Hornet somwhere. It is the best one. Black/green (limo) with half-transparent notification bar.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What's wrong with blufrost? ;)

But yes , search theme chooser on the market and you can then use the theme chooser app to choose them :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It will be the kernel.. if I have something big to copy over I use my SD card reader... I think booting into recovery may bring.the speeds up too, can't remember..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Contacts / contact name / menu button / options / ringtone option :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You can try... take a nandroid first...
[Desire Android Development] jult:
Thanks! It's sort of hidden under the Options when you've selected the contact as if you would go Call/Message them etc. Never knew that ;-)
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
Yeah, I've already read that it could be the kernel. The thing is which one shall I choose? :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Not too sure, I haven't kept up with kernels.. I only use the manu kernel and not really tried any others...
[Desire Android Development] franklinvv:
I also experienced problems using the CM7r2 hboot, when trying to download 'large' apps from the Market. I switched to 'stock' CM7 because of this problem.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
If you don't need large /system then n1table will be pretty good as well.
[Desire Android Development] pcardenas:
Try moving download cache to the sd card. I had same problem and used S2E.
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Unfortunateley this won´t give many hits in my experience. There is a heap of themes in the market and there is even a link to many in the Android/Themes forum.

But most of them simply aren´t installable because the market says, my device is incompatible :(

I suppose GV doesn´t signalize the market the compatibility correctly - running CM and it works fine.

Hi is it possible to change the emoticons and the status bar icons with the uot kitchen? I tried it a few times with wipes,... Everything works (glowing, battery icons,...) except the emoticons. I'm S-OFF and tried to copy the files with adb and nothing worked. Is it possible that the rom is odexed and therefore I'm not possible to install them? I tried it in the Q&A forum, but no one was able to help me. Ty in advance ;-)

Yessir!
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
It works.

Now, I don't have any issues with speed transfer using it. I actually get better speeds than with 1.4.

However, some have reported lower speeds than with 1.4.

So try it out...

Hm, that might be something I should try.

However, I recall reading that S2E didn't really work with Ginger Villain but it does on your Desire?
