same for me too....:(
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I've been wittering on about this since 0.6 (?). As well as wifi points, your android market downloads don't get saved either.

As far as I can tell rt decided he didn't care, I guess he's happy using TB. I'm not, but I liked gv enough to reinstall all my market apps manually and since then I've not had to wipe...
[Desire Android Development] speedy_kevin:
I play my music on a BT carradio using 2.8

No reboot or connecting issues here.
[Desire Android Development] :
I'd be happy too if TB would work for me... But it doesnt. It doesnt restore my bluetooth devices and wifi points :(

so far i am very disappointed in CM7... It hasnt improved much lately :(

im sure hes got plenty of time to work on gv. his work on gv is incredible.

any one tried out redux rom??
[Desire Android Development] :
I did...

Pro:

- Speed (big difference to CM7/GV)

- BT works just fine (BT headset reacts much faster than with CM7/GV)

- less space needed

- Google App and Wifi Backup/Restore works (but does also in CM7... only GV is lacking that one)

Contra:

- no ThemeChooser

- no Trackball wakening and other (for me) important Cyanogenmod Settings

- Manu Kernel is not compatible
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
Ok I just saw the Redux notification pull down bar and was wondering if Richard could include that in gv.

Did Redux have special settings in it?
[Desire Android Development] :
Not really. And you can not enable/disable the "multitasking/energybar-thingy" in the notification bar. I use the normal energywidget and found that one so far disturbing.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
Oh ok....might use Redux till Bluetooth is sorted in gv....is Redux worth using than old version of gv? I really wanna use the Android 2.3.5 features... Hopefully in next update Bluetooth headset problem

Will be fixed....
[Desire Android Development] :
Well Redux is a dream for using a BT device. If you skip a song it reacts promptly. In GV/CM7 you have to wait a second or nearly a second.

But I was missing some stuff from CM. The customizable energywidget, trackball unlocking, you only got two tabs on your lockscreen, no battery percentage, and the battery duration is worse...

But you have to sort that out for your own ;) I think, since Richard is obviously back from his vacations there might be an update soon. If he gets the time and is able to solve the problems.

Edit: Which were the major features of

2.3.5

again?

Ooh ok....Ill just wait for Richard to update...the screenshot Feature....Redux isn't fully made is it so maybe more features to come.....

i was also wondering what sort of a2sd does gv have? does it obtain the same a2sd as the stock roms?
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
I read that some other ROMs can work with NTFS instead of fat32 partition on the sdcard..

How about GV and NTFS - or does it just depend on the kernel?

If it is possible - anyone having tested it (reliability, performance)?
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
It would depend on the kernel. If someone has already ported the linux NTFS code to Android (which I immagine could be a bit of a chore) then compiling the kernel module against your current library and kernel headers should be easy enough.

But... why would you want to use NTFS on an SD card?

It has a lot more overhead than FAT32 and it's main advantage, the ACL, is entirely useless on a phone device (the rest of the phone is tailored for use by a single user).
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
The main advantage that I see is that it is a journaling filesystem. Recently I had a phone freezee after that lots of my data on the fat32 became corrupted. As far as I understand (which is not too much..) NTFS may give more safety. (and on my desktop computers i had never again the problems on my harddisks like before on win95/98-fat32 - after migrating my harddisks to ntfs when win2k came out)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
But the main reason for the ntfs was to overcome 4gb limitations.. which would take a decade to transfer with our slower kernels, and who wants half there SD card filled up with 1 4gb file...

I have never had any data loss on any if my SD cards, and I believe that is why they are called a secure digital card, if treated correctly, they r secure... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It still has Google / stock a2sd... go to applications / manage apps / choose an app / move to SD card...

Gv also has the dark tremor a2sd script, for the a2sd on ext...
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
That's why some people use EXT4 on Android. If you need journalling, you could use this. I don't believe Windows reads SD cards in formats other than FAT32, so there's probably no upside to using NTFS (edit: aside from possibly overcoming the 4GB file limit on FAT32).

Personally, I don't get why people use journaling on SD cards to begin with. The slow write speeds of SD RAM and the limited read/write cycles mean that SD cards formatted for journaling would be significantly slower and wear out twice as fast. The only thing you will gain is possible recovery from inconsistency between contents tables and actual file data for files you happened to be writing to your SD card during an unexpected crash or reboot. Those files are probably incomplete anyway. I can't immagine having anything on my phone that needs that type of protection (unless you test new kernels, write your debug data to the SD card and are interested in what happened just prior to a crash).
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
Hi,

I started to get an issue with mobile data. If I want to enable it, it usually does not work. I have to turn on the airplane mode and then turn it off - after then the data start working.

Any idea what makes this issue?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I had a similar issue and think it was ril related... I now use standard ril with rom and it works fine..
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
Sorry, please, what is "ril"? and how shall I change it or which one (whatever it is) shall I use?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
If you're asking what a RIL is then that definitely isn't the issue your seeing. You could have problems if you had flashed another version of the RIL. But apparently this isn't the case.
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
RIL = Radio Interface Layer. It's a standardised software interface between the core Android system and your phone's specific firmware for radio, telephony, wifi and bluetooth.

It's possible to flash a different RIL and some people do so because they feel they might get better reception or power efficiency if the RIL is specifically tailored to the version of the radio firmware they're using.

GV contains a RIL which should work well with most recent radio firmwares.

If you don't know what a RIL is, then you probably haven't changed from the GV default. Thus the RIL is unlikely to be your problem.
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
I just dont know it is called RIL. I flashed it but nobody was able to recommend me a suitable one. So I just put something there.
[Desire Android Development] postwarbreakout:
I just installed GV (with full wipe for sure) and restored my apps with TB. Normally, apps that have been installed on the sd card with google a2sd get restored to the same location, but now all apps have been restored on the a2sd+ ext partition which is full now and some of my apps are still missing. I also can't move the apps manually, because it says that there is no free space on the sd card (but there is, 2GB or so)

I already used the disk repair feature in windows because some say this helps, but it didn't. Ideas anyone? Also, I'm getting FCs when trying to open Handcent or using Swype which worked fine before. (Switched from Oxygen and didn't restore any system files with TB)

edit: okay, moving the apps to the sd card seems to work fine with TB, but there has to be a reason for that? oO

Later, you can move some applications to an SD card. But applications such as widgets, and the alarm must not move the SD card.

Hi! Is there anyone using a network printer on GV 2.8? In my case the CyPria software (Epson's "official" app) used to work fine before (some weeks ago when I tried it last time), but now, on GV 2.8, it cannot access the wifi printer. All the other computers of the network can access it (so it cannot be a router problem), but on the other hand, another app (Epson iPrint) cannot reach the printer either. THis is why I think it might be a problem with the rom.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
To old radio. Flash a newer one to fix your camera problem.

Richard, many games are having problems on this rom. Is this something you could look into please? I have one called "lane splitter" which was working perfectly, they gave an update and it works on all other roms but this one... another app is "a monster ate my homework"

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
1 by 1... Na joke I have an app called a track dog which tracks your apps for updates, it tells you in there...

And I doubt it. As Google a2sd now moves more of the app than a2sd+ I think... last time I checked I saved more room having the app on Google a2sd than a2sd+
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
lol i need to research what da difference between a2sd and a2sd+.... oh waittt.... u can move apps manually using the manage application setting? will that work? is that the google a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] flipside101:
Ive had some luck using Titanium Backup and its "move app data too" option to move individual apps
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Some apps can be moved... settings / apps / manage app / "angry birds (as an example as it is big)" move app to SD... that is Google style... a2sd+ has been around for a long time!

You can disable it under the Automatic Backlight settings in Cyanogenmod Settings.

There isn't one. They all will do the same thing for you, some have packaged the android sdk, some don't. Some have eclipse, for development, some don't.

I'd say it's rather up to you to decide how comfortable you already are with linux - new to it, take mint, ubuntu or fedora, used it longtime, pick debian, slackware, gentoo.

I personally favour debian and gentoo.
