[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
Yes, it's too small. You need a bigger cache to be able to download biggish stuff from the market.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
one of the SVS ones. Go Settings>Cyanogen settings>performance>CPU. How high does it clock to? Bet its not 1190.

[Desire Android Development] :
Hmm maybe I am wrong :D
[Desire Android Development] :
Which kernel from eviollet did you flash? HAVS or SVS?

In case the HAVS kernel wasnt stable then you should try his SVS. It is way more efficient than the gv kernels...

Guys I'm really struggling with this as i cant install anything now, not any roms or kernels, same thing happens with the progress bar on the install screen gets to about 25%, stops, flashes and repeats this over and over. Tried a couple of suggestions by downloading the link directly but nothing works. It seems the problem is not with what i'm trying to install but the installer itself.

Also i now cant get into recovery from the bootloader, when i click recovery all i get is the white HTC screen.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So are u in the Rom? If so, can you flash the recovery again?
[Desire Android Development] qprneil:
Yes i can use the rom and phone fine just cant install anything. Sorry dont know that you mean by flashing the recovery again?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Yes, I sometimes have the problem with or without the software.

I can't say the program fixed anything for me. Using bluetooth that is. Maybe it works fine without BT.

As for 1.4, I haven't been very far yet. Not much to see, because I haven't had much time. Should be better now though. Things should calm down... :)

Limited internal memory

the internal storage is still 148 mb leaving almost no space for more apps. Already have installed the 512 mb ext3 partition, even then why doesn't the storage memory increase.

if i did something wrong pls correct me:

- i formatted the sd card & it made all the partitions to vanish & were back to fat 32.

- i made the ext3 partition post installation of the rom.

is this the reason why the app2sd is not functioning as expected????
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Is dalvik-cache being stored internally? a2sd cachesd via adb or via connectbot or terminal emulator, it'll reboot your phone and should free up the internal space however it might slow down your phone due to cache being used on the SDcard.

Yes i always use clockwork mod recovery. So in ROM manager I flashed the clockwork recovery then i selected reboot in recovery from ROM manager but it still wont go to recovery, i get the white htc screen then the install screen (box with arrow coming out of it) and the same problem with the progress bar.

I have to do 4 battery pulls before the volume down power function works, then from the bootloader (as recovery doesn't work) i just select reboot to get back into the rom.

You boot the handset into fastboot (from off hold back and press power), then run the exe from your PC. Ignore any steps about htc sync

[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
Hi Guys,

Could someone tell me what to change in the build prop before flashing the ROM to ensure that I have the full 195MB free on the /data partition. I am using the N1 table.

On Defrost, removing "dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1" from the build prop achieved this.

Also, how would I remove a2sd+? Is just removing the 04apps2sd file from system\etc\init.d sufficient? Or would I also have to remove busybox.a2sd from system\bin?

Thanks

Look on hboot screen, if it says pvt4 you need to check erase size via terminal emulator.

You cant flash themes that are not using your specific rom's AND version of rom's framework-res.apk.

Then, everytime you upgrade to a new version, that theme no longer works.

I have done a full backup with CWMR 3.0.0.5 R3 (used for new google script),

put bravo hboot (180-40-217),

and do a restore with CWMR 2.5.0.7 (The only that full works in restore EXT image)

Now i have a 40mb of cache partition (as original Bravo)...

But the market still not download updates... :o

I have tried to clean Data/cache of market, but it still don't want download...

Market sometime auto close with errors...

So i think that it is a market bug... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] danarama:

I'm running Alpharev Bravo Sense (180M/40M/217M) HBOOT, have no problems with both 2.2.11 and 2.3.4 Markets.

Check if you actually have enough space in your /cache partition. If you have a lot of apps installed but never moved dalvik to system or sd-ext, /cache may be just full.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
:o Good for you... i am unlucky, i know... :p

/cache = 912Kb used :rolleyes:

i know it.

I have moved the dalvik cache to sd with terminal emulator as post#1 :o

In/cache i have only:

/lost+found (0kb)

/recovery (last_log 3,3kb)

dalvik-cache (link file)

WiFi work (Email, web, etc)

DroidWall don't log a blocked app (also tried to disable it)

I had also tried disabling the Host (AdFree-restore)...

I also checked my firewall and tried disabling it
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
So, what actually happens when you try to download an update from the Market? Can you get aLogCat (from Market or .apk) and see what happens when the Market is running / FCs?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I not understand your question...

I touch market icon...

It start correctly and show me the suggested apps.

I can see/search any app.

I can see all apps info as score (stars), comment, screenshot...

If i chose an app, i see the permission request for the app...

I touch install button...

I see the animated progress bar... but the market don't start the download (don't appear the blu progress bar growing from left to right)
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
aLogcat is a tool to view logs: http://code.google.com/p/alogcat/ If the Market force closes, you can check what's happened to it and may be find some hints.

Regarding downloads that never start, did they work for you before? A couple of weeks ago there was a problem with Google Market and I was unable to download anything either, but then it started working again.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Try This:

0º. Settings -> Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache/Data

1º. Remove Vending.apk from /System/app (you can use adb, root explorer or anything you want).

2º. Recovery -> Wipe cache & Dalvik Cache -> Reboot System

3º. Recovery -> Flash from SD Market 2.3.4 -> Reboot System

You can check if any Vending reference are present on /data/data and delete them, prior to last 3º step
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Just to ask a further question for your market issue, the progress bar doesnt come up in market but what does the download arrow do in the status bar? Anything? nothing?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
No arrow appear in status bar...

so the device isn't downloading anything...

Downloading from web is working (i have tested to download a 5MB file), and the download arrow in status bar is working... :)

So the problem is caused by Market... ok by market's servers... maybe... :confused:

Now i try the Theliels solution...

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Can you answer all the questions AlboGio was asked please?
[Desire Android Development] :
Ok, I have a big problem ....

Windows does not recognize the phone properly !

Windows recognizes as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM, Unknown Device.

I can not access the SD card !

I can not roll back the installation !

When did the installation, I did a full wipe.

How do you install a new ROM without an SD card??
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
All done...

I have reinstall the Market from the Villian setup ( Market2.3.4.Zip )

Ok, now all work! :D

I have tried to reuse the Data++ Hboot 180-5-252

(Doing a backup with CWM3.0.0.5-r3 and a restore with CWMR2.5.0.7)

But the market seem to start download, but it stop for apps biggest 5m.

So the " big " (40MB) cache partition is needed for store the temporary downloaded file from the marlet...

The partial solution of my problem, after restore Market's APP functionality as Theliels has suggested, is:

1) use a stock cache's partition (Now i am using the Bravo Sense HBOOT 180-40-217)

2) or redirect the market's temporary downloaded files from cache's partition to an sd's directory... (tips?)

However now all is working :D
[Desire Android Development] palokalo:
I thik it was Google problem.. Now is all OK without clearing cache or reinstall market.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
In my case the market's app was damaged (?) and the cache partition was too small. :rolleyes:

Maybe google servers have also helped to make me "angry" :p
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I have been trying to do this this lately but havent got very far.

Basically, I created a folder on sd-ext called sd-ext/cache.

Then I redirect entire cache there in terminal emulator.

It shows in Quick system info as 1GB /cache.

Markets download fine but then the install fails. In fact many a2sd apps fail. Its as if it conflicts with Dark Tremor a2sd and I cant get around it.

Work around for that is to reboot cache is then back on /cache and browse to sd-ext/cache.blahblah.apk and install it manually.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Ok, i keep my 40MB /cache on the internal memory... :p

I have about 155MB on /data (+65MB Free) and about 470MB on /sd-ext (+505MB Free)...

I think that i have enough space for a lot of any other apps... :rolleyes:

So, i can " lost " 40MB for a cache partition :D

However if you find the solution for Market's cache to SD, it will be certainly usefull for somebody with an old device with few internal memory.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I also created a second ext partition and moved cache there but even worse than before.

I haven't the knowledge to take it further.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
+1 :D

I know something of basic thing, but i am not a programmer...

I am, i think, an " advanced user" :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
I'd say don't bother if there are issues with Market downloading and such, its usually Google's fault on the servers. I also noticed few problems with app downloading these days (have to restart downloads often). No big deal.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure if you're talking to me or not.

It's just something I want to do. No real reason for it
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Yes, cache partition are neccesary in some cases, not only for radio flash. its not a good idea (for me at least) to have a small cache partition size. I prefer use a N1 table partition plus 1GB ext3/ext4 for sdext

And of course, in some rarely can be also a problem with Google servers or connectivity problem.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I go for custom sizes myself. 25 for cache
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
And you have no errors with only 25mb cache, as I could move the dalvik to /cache and prob have around 20 25mb left... I sometimes check my.90mb of cache and it is full, which I don't expect...
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
rootSU's got 25 MB /cache with dalvik on ext. I have like 10 big apps installed and when I try to move dalvik cache to /cache, which is 40 MB, there's not enough space :(

No sounds after using voice commands via bluetooth

Hey Folks,

Got a strange one here. Everytime i use voice commands via my bluetooth handsfree speaker or headset, i lose all phone sounds (media, ringing, notifications etc). A reboot brings back the sounds.

I've tried it with the stock voice dial app and Choice Dialer and the same thing happens. I never used it with the stock rom or any other rom so i cannot say if it is a rom issue or something else. I just wiped my phone completely and also formatted my sd card and have no other issues with my phone but this.

Any ideas?

Btw, it only happens when using voice commands, if i just answer or make a call while connected to my bluetooth device, i have no problems with the sounds. Using latest Gingervillain version.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
In my experience, 25MB its not enough for me. Maybe 90MB its excesive only for cache, but with a 1GB on ext for apps and dalvik, I prefer to heal in health
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've only met 1 app I couldn't download which is why I looked at moving cache to ext. All games play fine and no issues with radio.

By the time I get home after a full day's work and an hour internet on the way to and from work, I'm losing an extra 3% or so maybe each way. Where I normally get home with 60%, I may be as low as 50%
