Ditto but cwm can't change existing partitions can it?

When extending with gparted take a backup of sd fat32 which should include a current nandroid backup.

Extend partition then put contents back. Nandroid restore for safety.

Gparted also can boot from usb disk
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
Any Linux alternative (preferably windows)?

although I guess I could use gparted
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Same here. I tested both in and outdoors and had to do a double take to be sure that the GPS wasn't actually active.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I don't know if we are making the same point, but certainly on GV 1.5, mine finds my location using my network very quickly, just as any other rom does. However, the nearest transmitter or whatever it uses is about 10 miles away so on every rom, my location based on network only isn't enough.

But from there, about a minute later my gps should locate me within a few metres. Since gv 1.5, it never takes me any closer than the network location.
[Desire Android Development] jayk32:

Not a big deal but I've noticed that the game Asphalt3 doesn't work anymore with this version.

At launch, Asphalt3 starts with a flicking image of a lansdcape... :rolleyes:... and closes after a few seconds.

I wonder if it could come from the replacement of the "touchscreen.multitouch.xml" file by the "android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml", richard.

Just a personal guess...

This game used to run better than ever with the version 0.3 of your ROM, anyway.

I did try this game with the stock ROM (2.29.405.2) on which I have added the "multitouch distinct.xml" file (in system/etc/permissions)... which lets me turn the maps in Google Maps but I didn't encounter the same issue with Asphalt3... So, I don't know, actually.

Hi, i'm currently on the Oxygen 2.0-RC5 and i'm thinking about changing to this ROM.

I use the Alpharev-Oxygen Custom HBOOT.

So my question is, what do you recommend i install, or do i keep the hboot as it is?

I'm not sure if i saw Bravo Data++ in here, correct me if i'm wrong.

[Desire Android Development] stelaw:
Hi, I tried to install Ginger Villain 0.5 using the Alpharev-Oxygen Custom HBOOT layout yesterday without success. I think it tries to extract to about 120MB. So I went back to the Bravo Data++ layout in order to install.

I later tried to reduce the size of the Ginger Villain 0.5 zip file. I'm sure it could be done but I couldn't get close enough with my lack of knowledge. Interestingly the majority of system app files in Ginger Villain are a lot larger in size compared to the ones in Oxygen.

Ive had this before, cannot remember how I fixed it. Does it work after a wipe?

Happened to me once. Try checking the button in recovery, this will tell you if its a hardware problem.

Reflashing should sort you out. If it doesn't work straight away try wiping.

Minitool Partition Wizard ? windows version works great ;)
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
a bit off topic but i want to come back to this rom but say i made a nandroid of my current rom and flashed this rom but i wanted to go back to my other rom can i just restore the nandroid and nothing including apps will be wiped?
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
erm. assuming i have understood your question ....

A Nandroid takes a full snapshot of your system and apps. if you flash a new ROM you would need to reinstall your apps.

However a Nandroid restore would take your phone right back to the state you backed up, apps and all .....

Best to backup apps separately as well before flashing another ROM (titanium or mybackup).

Has that helped ? :o
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If it worked for you its lucky.

I speak both professionally and personally when I say that application is a big pile of crap ;)

I posted almost this exact post before in this thread already, including the following...

If you want a laugh at my own mistakes using minitool partition wizard and the absolute nightmare it caused, read this:

http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/204808-my-ext-partition-resize-hell-quite-long.html

Enjoy :)

PS, I could never recommend this app and in fact I recommend people do not use it.

Added to which, EXT is an alien file system to windows, so its very rare you will find a Windows app to create one successfully. However, apparently easeus has had good results but I will never try a windows app to do EXT formatting again so I cannot confirm this myself.

Gparted all the way

thanks its because i went to miui again but before i was on this rom so i made a backup of the apps and now they wont show up mybackup on miui because it was 2.3 gingerbread when i backed up so i have to go back to gingerbread restore the apps back them up again go back to the nandroid miui and restore and :D :D

Hey, just switchting from CM 7 to this Rom.

I´ve the partition table from CM7 (Bravo CM7	130M	5M,System/Cache)

I´ve cleared all data and cache before flashing. Flash went succesful but im stuck @ boot. I always see the "Why so serious" Pic from AlphaRev.

I have downloaded the Rom twice and flashed again with the same issue. Is there something wrong with the partition table iam using? If so, which one should i use?

[Desire Android Development] muken:

Do you know if the problem with adding new gestures to the lockscreen that appeared in GV 1.5 is a general problem with the CyanogenMod Settings version used or if it is just some incompatibilities with Ginger Villain?

Thanks for your great work!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
there are more than 3 so which 3 specifcally? The 3 1.9 kernels?

1 is havs, 2 are svs. The svs with 1190 after it clocks higher (CPU)

svs Static Voltage Scaling - Each CPU frequency has a specific Voltage of power based on a table. Frequency x is Voltage z (always)

Havs Hybrid Adaptive System - Each CPU frequency has a range of voltage based on a similar table. Frequency x is voltage y to z. Whether it is y (lowest) or z (highest) depends on Device temperature.

Because HAVS runs on a range, it can go lower than SVS and potentially save more power.
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
just want to say tnx (again) for a great ROM :)

I have installed the EViolett Kernel "1.3 Gingerbread-HAVS-AXI-CFS" and lost more than 20% battery over night.

In the battery app i can see 19% usage by "Mobilfunk-Standby" which would be GSM/UMTS.

Could it be Kernel-Related and how can i switch back to stock GV 1.5 kernel?
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Just one question: HOW?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Images are blurry on the app, and blocked on the web where I am. whats the jist of the stats please?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
To koegs:

Switching back is easy: you can get the stock kernels from Villain Setup (the default one will be the lower-speed SVS one). Older versions can be found at xda.richardtrip.org.

Very surprised at your experience with EViollet's kernel - I've been using that exact one most of this year, and generally find it gives better standby life than stock. Remember that the "about phone" battery % is the fraction of the battery usage coming from that source, so 1/5 of your battery usage has been acribed to mobile standby, with 4/5 from other sources. Right now mine assigns 14% to standby (with display being 66%), so your fraction is only a little higher.

I'd check your partial wake usage to see if some app has been stopping the phone sleeping. And perhaps click on that mobilfunk-standby result to see what fraction of time was without signal (if your network dropped overnight that would increase drain).

I have Handsent and removed the stock SMS app from the rom before flashing.

anybody know of a fix or app that has worked in the past.

Thanks

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
There is no MMS issue.

1) Is your apn definitely correct? settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks > Access point names>

2) Did you titanium restore from another rom? Wipe SMS/MMS prefs. Titanium>backup/restore>scroll down list looking for [sms/mms prefs] (may be under M for some reason) and open it. Then click "uninstall"

let me know.

Edit> Wait, Handsent relies on mms.apk for sending mms does it not? Im sure it does. Reflash the rom without removing mms.apk
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
APN are letter for letter correct with settings from o2.

didnt restore from TB or anyother back up app.

[Desire Android Development] sretlow:
I've 1.4 installed. After everything worked fine and installed properly I did try to make a new full backup. First I deleted the old backup files in Titanium backup. Then did a new backup off all system files and data files.

After that I started Rom Manager and started a "backup ROM" procedure. After a restart the phone went into recovery mode and made a new backup. After that the fone was restarted and booted normally. But in the start screen non of the apps were working anymore. App was not installed. So I did a restart. Same problem. After that I wiped all data. Restarted. Then the fphone became into a boot loop. So I thought to do a clean install of the ginger1.4.zip file from the SD card. When I started in recovery mode and try to install zip file from the SD card it mentioned that no SD card was mounted. When I looked into de mount menu I see that only one mount was done. I've tried to mount SD card and sd-ext but it gave an error "no such file or directory available" or so. So I did try to partition the card again. This works (no errors). I made an swap of 0 MB and ext of 512MB. But the card won't mount.

In a cardreader at the pc I can still read the SD card and see all directories. Including .android.secure or something...

Now I have a not working phone and can't reinstall the villain image. Please help....

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I would recommend using Gparted bootable CD / USB

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

Then boot to recovery and go into "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB mass storage" (EDIT> I see you use AmonRA. Not sure what this option is on that)

Copy all your data to PC.

Reboot the PC and boot to Gparted. Flatten the card completely (remove partitions and format)

Then recreate the partitions required. Boot into windows and copy data back. See if this fixes it.

One other thought: do you leave WiFi on, and if so what is your sleep policy?

The headline for GV1.5 includes the WiFi sleep bug being fixed, but I've noticed that this is included in the description of the new kernels, which makes me wonder whether the fix is kernel-dependent? Since I don't leave WiFi on when I'm not using it (only takes seconds to connect) I don't know myself whether this is the case. But if it were kernel dependent that could be relevant to your experience.

[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
you have a usb brick

you cannot do a nandroid restore as you took that backup with rom manager (clockworkmod recovery) but your hard flashed recovery is amonRA

this has probably aided to the usb/sdbrick you had although seeing this happen so often in this thread does concern me a little

you will need to do the following to enable sdcard connectvitity and you might be able to get access to sdcard from recovery

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

the go to flash zip from sdcard and fine the update.zip from clockworkmod and flash it

this will load clockworkmod recovery and you should be able to restore your data using clockworkmod

after you get this back, ban yourself from using rom manager and go to recovery the PROPER WAY
