Thanks for the pointer. Will try to shift the files first.

Edit: sorry, noob question but how do you create a folder inside data-folder? There is no new folder option when I right click.
[Desire Android Development] Hooolm:
Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know, since I've had a few requests for 2.5.

You can get the blue one ...

CirclesModBlueLite.apk

... and/or the green one ...

CirclesModGreenLite.apk

Install the apk, and select CirclesMod Blue or Green (Lite) in the Theme Chooser. I've only tested on CyanogenMod7 for the Desire and for the Optimus 2X, but it should work with all CM7-based ROMs for HDPI devices. Titanium Backup'able too ;)

So hopefully no more 2.x.y.z.whatever updates ;)
[Desire Android Development] i6bazar:
Hello,

Anyone can give me a hint, I cannot install Maps from the Market nor the apk file, it keep saying either :

1- Download Failed (from the market)

2- Application NOT installed (from the apk)

I'm trying to use maps5.5.0-ownhere.apk and I am using HBOOT data++ with 150MB free on my Application partition

Thanks !
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Have you tried with this instructions?

[Desire Android Development] i6bazar:
Seems to be working, thanks !

However I don't understand why the market did installed the standard version :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
BluFrost Updated

Hey ppl,

Sorry, busy over the weekend... Blufrost has been updated! Villain Setup, Thread, or website :)

Thanks

any comments that storm8 games doesnt work 2.5?
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
deleted......
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Depends on which ones... I have (and I don't know why...) restaurant story :embarrassed: which is on the market by team lava, but uses storm8 i.d. and mine has updated fine... I did a full wipe and reinstall from the market for a working app...

I believe the app will look at the phone identifier or imei number or something, as my friend got a new desire on warranty and had to start his games again...
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
Installed 2.5 - went to Market - bootloop

fantastic
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
All is working fine for me... have no errors... would you like to trouble shoot this problem? Or continue to post sarcastic and unhelpful posts?
[Desire Android Development] Walto:
Just make app folder ie. to your desktop. Then copy apk files you want to move in that folder you made. Delete those apks in system/app. "Move" that created app folder to your rom zips data folder. Make sure your moved apk files are in data/app now. Btw if you leave duplicates in system/app you will encounter problems.
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
Umm, let's go with a.

Reflashed and it happened again. Here's what I did:

Complete wiped

Flashed GV 2.5

Entered Google account on setup, then turned on wifi when completed

Went to the Market, then went to "My Apps" and pressed back when loaded

It then freezes and goes into a bootloop
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks for the reply. Doing it now. There are sub folders for the data floder. Do I just drop the app folder into the main data folder? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes... data / app is the folder structure... I just use winrar, where you can right click and create a new folder...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well I'll start then... how did you upgrade? what hboot are you using? What kernel? Was it a fresh install? Was it an upgrade? Did you try anything other than just the market? What else was going on at the time? Can you replicate it and produce a logcat?
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
I edited my post.

Standard Alpharev HBOOT, fresh install.

I've tried with both an EXT partition and without one.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks. The app file is now in the main data folder. How can we be sure if we've moved enough (Walto's list wasn't very specific)? I've moved calculator, DSP manager, you tube and both livewallpaper apks.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well it could have been the partition...how are you making.it? I will also use a gparted live cd as it has always worked with me and never missed a problem... however, it also done it without the partition... are you restoring settings from a sense Rom? Or any apps from a backup? Are you over clocking? Or under volting? It is quite strange... maybe try to change the kernel before doing else?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hmm, that's a good point... after a couple of changes on my Rom, I then extracted just the system folder, and it was 135mb, and looking on my phone I am using 135mb of system, so I would do that, but give or take a few mb... I do think that may not be enough to move.. maybe move other apps like gmail or other large apps to data..?
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
how about formatting the sdcard?

reason:

when i used gparted live cd it didn't allow me to create a second primary partition. (which is kind of ok)

i'm using ubuntu live with a sdhci fix for my laptop and works everytime.

another thing is how big is the EXT partition?

i read somewhere the advised size of the EXT3/4 partition is anything under 2GB (if bigger it causes problems with the !!market!!)

My partition layout is 16GB=(n+1MB)+(2GB-1MB) MB aligned.

another point is darktremor's app2sd. it requires ext partition on /dev/mmcblkp02 so it might cause some trouble not having it there.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
I'll move g mail and see what happens. I've got nand backup for the RcMix.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Gmail, talk, mms, browser and YouTube are all large, and can be moved to data without problems (i think... ;) ) calendar and street are a bit smaller bit can.be moved... same with torch and calculator...
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
I'm looking at the joker...and it's been 5 minutes. :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Then it still isn't small enough I'm.afraid...
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
I think that that's enough excitement for one day. Restored and back to RcMix. :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Never give up that easily ;) especially returning to sense...

I would move all those apps that I stated in the above post, it should boot fine then...
[Desire Android Development] :
When using Handcent is it possible to delete mms.apk without losing functions?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Possible... not tested by me though... there is no sms.apk only the mms.apk so that obviously does all messaging, however, if you are replacing the app with handcent then it *should* work fine...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I just moved browser, calendar, titanium backup, gmail, live wallpapers, magic smoke wallpapers, music, street, talk and YouTube apks and I have an uncompressed system folder at 122mb which should boot...

I may also deleted a couple of other apps first, like email and fm radio first....
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
Partition made in recovery. No restoration of anything. All stock.

I can install 2.4 and I don't have this issue.
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
try the gparted/ubuntu method.

partition (advised) ext4

this is one tutorial i found

http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=146

i'm sure you'll find tons and tons of others.

android works ok with ext3 but handles better ext4
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
But it works fine for me on 2.4. Plus I've tried it without an ext partition and still bootloops.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hmm, its strange... maybe a corrupted download and to redownload and try again?
[Desire Android Development] MisterMooth:
No difference
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Then the last thing to do is to produce a logcat, and let a developer look at it....
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Right, Je suis back. Before i try it again, I need to confirm that I can fall back on the last backup if things go wrong. I don't need to do another backup, right?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The one you just restored earlier? If you restored it earlier you can restore any time again :)

And just to confirm, your main goal is to get gv on cm7 hboot? What hboot did the rcmix go onto? Do you know about the market issues with small cache sizes?
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks. Yes, CM7 and no, not about the market issues.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well cm7 has a very small cache and symlinks to I think /data... gv has a different way of looking at it, and the symlink doesn't work... so anything over 5mb won't download properly... large hadron was the last person in the thread to be speaking about it properly... either search their posts, or search this thread... I'm not too sure what happened in the end....
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Hey, was wondering, is it possible to replace the background of the notifications with a picture? (instead of a solid color or transparent)
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
just out of curiosity. what are the advantage of cm7 hboot?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I could do this... do you know the colour you want? Infact, maybe see if the uot kitchen could do it?
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Success! :D:D:D

Erm, what's happened to the live wallpapers?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Larger /data and an full /system (free space in /system is. wasted space)... but it has the disadvantage of the small cache size...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
They should be there... maybe they need to be on /system... how much free space do you have, according.to "quick system.info" on system?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I think you summed it up nicely - there were multiple problems with getting that script working with GV.

I did come across something last week that I thought might be worth a try, but I'm not running GV at the moment so haven't been able to take that further (should have bookmarked so I can find that hint next time - forgotten it now).
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Sorry, can't tell you. Market seems to be crashing everytime.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well, I did mention market problems... ;)
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Well, thanks for the ride anyway. :D Going home to sense. Maybe when this market thing has been settled, I'll try it again. Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well I don't see why you are intent on having cm7 hboot... I use n1 table, have under 5mb of free space on internal, loads of cache that gets used (or I can put my dalvik on /cache) and I have a large a2sd partition and never had any problems... always worked fine... :)
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
which means it is pointless if i use sibere's data2sd which mounts the /data, /cache and /sd-ext partition to a ext4 portion of my sd-card.

thank you for your answer.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
I'm still a noob.:) To get where I am now did take a bit of effort...and anticipation. I have no idea what n1 table is and I'm still trying to work out all this memory stuff. I'll be back soon. Trust me. :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Ok, but just to let you know... the n1 table is the mtd for the nexus 1, which runs a aosp rom, which is what gv is... the n1 is the same as desire, but for aosp roms and not sense...

If you need any help. You can always pm me... I should be able to help as much as I can... :)
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thank you for your kind offer...you'll be hearing from me quite soon. Cheers.:D:D
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
er.. is cm7 same as AOSP? cause GV is CM based not AOSP, Oxygen is AOSP
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Short answer, yes cm7 is aosp..

Aosp stands for Android open source project... seeing as cm7 and gv are both built by the emulator and using the sdk, making them both aosp... anything over the top of Android, like sense, touchwiz or maybe a Sony Ericsson launcher is not aosp...

Edit: the very first sentence of this thread reads... gingerbread 2.3.4 aosp/cm7 Rom... ;)

Edit 1 more time cos i'm bored at work waiting to go...!
[Desire Android Development] gladman:
I am getting low phone memory errors. I have a2sd cachesd typed many times. Using 2.5. Have 32gig SD card with 20gig free. Any ideas how to get more space?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are you s off? If so use a different table? Move apps 2 SD card Google style will save you a bit of memory...
[Desire Android Development] gladman:
How to tell if I'm s-off ? How to use a different table? How come the iPhone never runs out of memory? This memory issue seems to be a downfall of the desire.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
U have to make the phone s off.. the s stands for security.. http://alpharev.nl/ read this carefully..

The iPhone does run out of memory.. my mate has to swop apps around constantly... however, the desire does need more internal memory, as HTC realised with the desire HD.
[Desire Android Development] naguz:
I have a problem:

I have the n1 table, and i run out of space on internal memory (/data). Somehow, the cache is put on /data even if I choose to have it on /cache (runnning a2sd cachepart). I suspect this is due to something GV does somewhere. Now, I hope it is as simple as a symlink, so I can just delete it, or a mountpoint entry somewhere - but where?

Also, why is the cache put on /data instead of /cache in the beginnning? (This has probably been asked before, but as I'm asking...
[Desire Android Development] Walto:
I'm sorry about my responding times... Beed good weather here so my VFR takes me away from interwebz when not at work ;)

But back in folder... I moved:

carhomegoogle, FM, Gallery3d, GenieWidget, googlevoice, Livewallpapers, MagicSmokeWallpaper, Music, Street, Talk, Titanium, Torch, Villainsetup, VisualizationWallpaper, VoiceDialer & Youtube

With these moved, everything works for me... atleast no errors occured in my usage.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks for the reply. I moved enough apks for the phone to boot. Market, however, kept crashing, no live wallpapers...I really like the way it looks in the video. Is market working for you?
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
market working just fine on 2.5
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Dunno. It crashed for me. Just wondering whether it might have something to do with what apps I moved to data folder. And no live wallpaper option appears in wallpapers.:(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe the space on /cache is not big enough if you are running out internal memory then you must have many many apps which all create a higher dalvik cache.. I know I have a dalvik cache of about 70mb with just over 100 apps..

Maybe your next best bet is to go down the custom mtd partitions for your needs...

Also dalvik cache is always and has always been on /data..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, as I say... the cm7 hboot has a very small /cache... this maybe why the market is crashing... you could try symlinking your self, however I believe others have tried without success..

Try searching in this thread...

You could try another hboot? As I stated yesterday... I use n1 with no problems at all... :)

Also, if you are going to stay on cm7 hboot, and as you are s off, you could go into root explorer and copy back the live wallpaper pack to /system/app...

does this rom use the same kernel as in cm7?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The kernel is a kernel made by richardtrip, not a cm one, no... however, you should still be able to use a cm kernel on this Rom...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
which hboot is reccomended for this rom? im using cm7 hboot is that ok?
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
GV won't fit in cm7 hboot. Try to use another table.

btw welcome aboard! :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
whats the reccomended hboot for this rom? or whats the hboot that most of you guy use? really looking foward to using this rom .
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
i use alpharev's table and it seems ok to me.

someone us using n1. few posts ago there was a discussion regarding the cache in the cm7 hboot
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
I want to replace the background of the notification with this picture

The uot kitchen does not support uploading of personal pictures to customize the notifications background.... :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Correct... Im using the N1 fine, with no problems at all...

CM7 hboot is too small for gingervillain, however, you can make the rom fit by moving some apps to /data. cm7, however, has a small /cache, and i think it is what is making the market problems.

I would always suggest a custom MTD for the "best" table, but I dont even use it, lol...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Bare with me, I will add that picture to the drop down notification bar... to the standard framework for 2.5, yea?

I will upload by the end of the day!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok but cm7 hboot has 130mb for system ..im sure the gingervillain rom will fit?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
How sure are you? Considering.it is 140mb when unpacked!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok but what if i run out internal memory? btw i have 80+ apps on my phone. i have 16gb memory card so i partitioned it as 15gb fat32 and 1gb ext4 .. is it ok? sorry im asking such nooby questions. i cant use oxygen hboot right??
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
omg really? thanks! mind sharing how to?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Can't use oxygen hboot.. I have 16g SD card too, with a 1gb ext3 I think.. I am on n1 table, with about 100+ apps... infact, atrackdog tells me I have 148 apps... and have no problems... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm just testing.it now.... its easy... I will defo tell you how to do, so I don't have too each Rom release ;)

Just on my lunch at the moment... give me an hour till I upload it :)

Edit: I like it... however I made the actual status bar the same... is that ok with you, or u sang it back to black...?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
is 1gb ext4 compatible with gingervillain? did u move cache to sd? so u change hboot be4 flashing fresh installsation of ginger villain. i guess battery on gingervillain is superior to cm7 . cant i use alpharev bravo sense hboot? it has System-180M cache- 40M data- 217M? it would provide me with more internal memory.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, 1gb ext4 is ok.

Yes, I moved cache to SD as per my Sig.

Yes, you can use bravo sense... but has wasted system space.

Follow the instruction on alpharev website for the flashing of hboot.

And battery life is how well u don't use your phone... the manu kernels improved my battery life greatly.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
thanks for your support... will flash gingervillain as soon as i get to my pc. what do you mean by wasted system space? i used manu kernel on my cm7 rom it helped a lot but could only get through 24 hours of battery. but im sure gingervillain will provide much better battery than cm7. doesnt stock gingervillain kernel provide great battery life any way? does gingervillain have a2sd+? does gingervillain have cm settings that change governors and cpu setting?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No problem here to help...

Wasted space is because you will have around 40mb free on /system which won't get used, therefore wasted imo..

By a2sd+ do u mean a2sd to ext... if so, yes... I use it now...

Yes, there is cm settings included in the Rom... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok yh i meant a2sd to ext.. woow this rom is awesome... cant wait to flash it. how to i enable a2sd 2 ext? is there a specific radio i need to flash for this rom as its android 2.3.4? any other kernels you think i should try out except manu kernel?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
just looked at your blufrost theme looks awesome. will try that out too.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
actually, i’d prefer it black, but i might not know what i’m saying cause i haven’t seen it yet. thanks so much :-)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No specific radio... but you can try. them all to see which gives u best reception.and.battery life...

I have only tried the manu kernel and it.is brilliant I had no reason to try any other..

And thanks about the theme.. I just port it though, wish I had the. Time to design and create a theme... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try this one, I am making the status bar black again now... will let you know the outcome! :)

I kinda like it with the colour coding bar... the black bar against the grey background clashes!!

try them both your self and let me know which one you go for. I will PM you letting you know how I done it!
[Desire Android Development] Walto:
I moved those I wrote here and deleted same apk files from system/app . Booted nicely and no problems with market or anything else. I have livewallpapers and I'm using one. I left livewallpaper picker in system just in case.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
what version of manu kernel you using? is the stock kernel havs or svs? cfs or bfs? do i need setcpu app or can i use the cm setting?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm using 2.0 SVS sci bfs for the moment, but in the thread someone commented on the cfs performing better... also I would chose havs, but my script isn't stable at the moment and don't have time to play around with it...

Stock gv kernel ls a SVS cfs... setCPU works well, I use it.. I do remember the cm settings for overclock wasn't working a while back... don't know if it is now...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok ill use havs cfs kernel... but would setcpu conflict with cm cpu setting?
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
if you have 80+ i would advise you to switch to this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852219

this moves /data and /cache to the ext4 partiton of your SDcard. (had class4 and now class6 and didn't realise any performance issues)

of course it requires some thinking when you upgrade/restore but nothing serious :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
did you read my response to his question? The fact I have 148 apps, and still have 50mb internal left, and never seen a low space message? a2sd is working fine, and I dont know why anyone would want data2sd when a2sd works perfectly for their needs (like this...). :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
looks a bit too difficult for me to do. but it is a good solution
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
no, i did not read your response. (because i am a c*nt)

nontheless. could you please run quadrant benchmark on your solution?

this is not trolling. i would just like to know what is better and switch i needed :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
great im now confused.
