I'm also on CM7.0.3 (stable), but I'm considering switching to this rom since CM7 on my Desire has to deal with "hickups" (apps take several seconds to respond, sometimes I can only recover them by going back to the homescreen and switching again to the particular app).

Also often times a dialog box shows up and asks me to wait or kill a certain app because it's not responding. Are there also such Hickups on GV2.5?

Another question is wether the Youtube Apps work on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] zedaale:
What is the hboot for this ROM? I'm currently on reflex sense. Can I just flash this Rom?
[Desire Android Development] albert_htc:
Hi

I've got HBOOT 0.93 0001

S-ON

Any issues using that ? Phone was rooted using unrevoked and cm7 flashed.

If I try this ROM, what's the correct way to flash it ?

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
any chance that we will see the updated version of SUPERUSER (v2.3.6.3) in version 2.6 of GV ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I've seen nothing like that, and YouTube works fine... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes you can just flash the Rom.. there isn't a specific hboot... most users use custom mtds... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Correct way is to wipe and flash... you should see no issues... :)
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
ooh GV 2.6
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Update

Version 2.6:

Latest CM7 fixes (thanks to CM)

Fixed market downloads on small cache

Removed most of the toolbox symlinks

Download from first post or use Villain Setup.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
You can update from market.
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
My sdcard broke and as a result a lot of stuff (market included) disappeared. Now i have a new sdcard, restored all apps but the market is still gone.

I reflashed GV2.5 over the old one (no wiping) but i still dont have any market. Any ideas how i can get my market back?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
How did you restore the apps, through TB? Have you also made the ext partition?

Do you have a recent nandroid that you could restore, just the ext partition?

Is it a possibility to make TB backup and then flash 2.6 and restore apps?
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
i had an old backup of my fat partition (but not the ext), so i restored most of the apps with TB. But without data as data was still on the phone. I guess that was the problem with the market too. I tried reinstalling it by executing /system/app/Vending.apk but it crashed too much so i uninstalled it and flashed GV 2.6 and fortunately now everything seems to work again.
[Desire Android Development] Wario86:
after installing 2.5 and 2.6 the smartphone go very slow in particular when i wake up it.... what can i do?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
What governor(s) and/or screen-off profiles are you using?

Switching governors has some overhead. Setting a low maximum screen-off speed (e.g. 128 min, 128 max) can slow things. And the Smartass governor is notorious for being slow to wake.
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
anyone tried Tiamat 4.0.5 kernel with GV ? if so how was it ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
After installing 2.6 with the market fix, my /cache is massive in quick system info, Can anybody else confirm this too, or is it just me messed something upped with the custom mtds? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] misiu99:
Can I use cm7 HBOOT now? I mean with 5mb cache part.
[Desire Android Development] krader:
Yep, now Quick System Info says my Cache partition is 203MB.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks, same for me... Thank you richard, and toinux for pointing it out.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
New CM7 hboot (r2 - 145 MB system partition), yes. You'll need to remove some stuff before it will fit in the old one (130 MB system partition).

But the small cache/market problem should no longer be a problem.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
should work, yes... ive just changed my custom mtd for 2mb /cache... :D

edit: forgot bout the r2 - what large hadron said above.. :)
[Desire Android Development] misiu99:
Thanx. I try it today. Good bye OxygenRom. :-)

upgrade remarks

gentlemen,

i would like to warn you.

some strange happened to me few minutes ago.

i decided to go for a clean install of gv2.6 with cm7r2 hboot

allright.

i performed the followin steps:

format /boot

format /data

format /cache

format /sdcard

format /system

format /sd-ext

i have never expected this isnstall to be THAT clean.

no backup, no pictures (which is a major shame - i had there 2years of my son in pictures), no backup...

therefore... in the mood of xda... please think before you do something...
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
well you did format... = wipe :(

sorry for your loss. at least you've learnt the lesson of backing up b4 wiping
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
I did backup! :) nevertheless i just didn't realise i DO NOT need to format the partition which holds the backups :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
This was your mistake: the backups are saved to the SD card, so formatting that destroyed them.

A simple factory reset will do the job - that will format data, cache and sd-ext. Flashing the ROM formats system anyway, so there's no real need to do that.
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
i know all of that. i just did it without thinking. that is why i am so annoyed. i realised the mistake in the moment i saw formatting /sdcard in cwm...

my mistake definetely... and the only thing i had in my hands was an old export from sharemyapps... well at least something...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hey people,

Blufrost has been updated, download from villain setup, cannot be bothered to update thread or site today... ;)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Yeah, glad there was something - losing pictures can be painful.

I plug my phone into my laptop every now and then just to take an SD backup.
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
once the format finished i took out the sd card and at monday it goes to a laboratory for data salvation.

i particulary don't care about the time i'll spend on installing back all the apps and stuff. i'm just mad at myself. as my lady said... you just need a crisis (because there has been no issues for quite a while in the datacenter i work at)
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
Does Gingervillain fit on CM7R2 HBOOT?

I want to unlock my phone to use it on different carriers, I went to this website, http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/, and I gave them my IMEI number and the unlock code came in 15 minutes. Also my two other friends with a HTC Incredible S and HTC Desire HD (with stock roms and non-rooted) did the same thing as me.

When we all turned on our phones, we entered the unlock code and except for me, it worked for them. In my case, it did said the unlocking was successful, but still the icon of the sim card was up there with a cross on the signal bars.

Any idea how to fix this ? Do I have to unroot my phone and go back to original RUU ?

Thnx in advance guys ;)
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Wow. Thanks for posting this. I was hesitant in implementing this manually. Can't be any easier then this. Working perfectly.

Try redownload and recheck the md5
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
i have redownloadet three times and md5sum is checkt, but it dosent boot.

so ich have downgradet the hboot to stock and flash the 2.5 and upgradet to 2.6

so my phone boot to GV2.6

i hope you can read and understand me.

sry4 my bad english
[Desire Android Development] :
Which hboot was your previous version? Might have been a too small /system partition. If you use an hboot with /system under 140mb you should delete some apps from /system/app in the rom.zip !!!

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
Bravo CM7 r2 hboot	system/145M cache/5M data/287M

Still problem with storm8 appz. Any solutions? :)
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
the size of the /system is to small for GV 2.6... you need 150mb...

LOL, not sure what the heck this means but like i said...

It's working perfectly

[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
Works fine. I have it running with GV2.6
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
Would have been to your advantage if you asked here before instead of after you tried another solution. I don't know exactly what your problem is because your explanation of your issue is not clear, have you tried another SIM in the phone?

I have to confess that I found out about this in this very forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726&highlight=unlock&page=11

it might resolve you problem.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Yeah I tried another SIM, it asked me for the unlock code, I entered the code and it didn't work.

I tried the website, and it didn't work either. I probably should just unroot, then unlock and root again.

So how can I unroot ?
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
flash a RUU for your phone, so unroot you your phone

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hopefully someone can help me... :)

Since updating to 2.6 a lot off my apps have broken... a lot of them being games, but not all of them. When I say broke, they force close on launch, or in one instance when u hit the start button.. this also included my HTC IME. I had to uninstall and install from app, not backup meaning something lost. Angry birds won't open at all, unless I uninstall and install again (losing all data, and I've completed it, 3 stars in all levels), which isn't really acceptable. I guess whn I'm off lunch I could try an upgrade instead of a full wipe, unless anyone else has had this problem.and knows how to overcome it? Back ups made with TB and mybackup root and both the same...

Thanks, Matt.
[Desire Android Development] RucaNebas:
Thanks Richard

First of all, let me tell you that it's a plaisure to share some comments with a "genius" as you are. Thanks for your very nice work.

Regarding my issue, it's quite strange as on my theme chooser I don't have any theme (it's blank) knowing that at least the defaul theme should be there
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
okay.. back to this problem, apparently it occurs when i update apps in the market, whether a sizable one, or small kb apps
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Not much help bud but I had this issue on a previous version of GV, around 2.1 when I changed my gf desire from a sense HD rom to GV. same thing happened some apps just immediately FC after opening inc angry birds. Tried everything I could think of but in the end just did a fresh install and started again. Worked ok after that but like you the Mrs was pissed that I'd lost her completed angry birds.

Sorry not much help :-)

Does the dalvik cache have enough space left?

I'd say the symptoms look a lot like there is no more space for the dalvik cache.
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
I've made a mistake of flashing 2.6 without checking the md5. had several FC's and frozen phone issues. Then I checked the md5's, redownload 2.6, flashed again and voila! No more FC's or anything. :)

Have you checked the md5 with the first post?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for your reply, however this is a fresh install... I have actually updated from the 2.5 and it seems to fixed the problem!

Thanks for reply! :)

Yes, definatly! left it on internal, and have around 90mb free (with dalvik on internal), around 500mb on ext! :) Thanks anyway!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for your reply!

hmmm. if i keep getting errors then i will re download! i flashed over the top of old 2.5 and it seems to be working now!

Strange!

Yes. it's still blank when apk theme installed.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Made by different.ppl....
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
That's pretty strange... do u delete anything from the .zip as I do remember seeing something called theme manager in the /system partition... could be the problem?
[Desire Android Development] RucaNebas:
I don't think that I deleted something. I found theme manager ( theme provider) in the /system partition.
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
If you had nandroid bku you could do a wipe, instal gv2.6 and restore data anf sd-ext. Dirty but should do the job...
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Can you try to clean cache and settings for Theme chooser/themes provider and delete all of your themes (maybe it's just a faulty one thats creating the problem).

what can I do??? so in programs i don't have any icon!

my radio is 14.05.17

i've no idea!!

[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
@mattmanwrx

With that app trouble, I assume you downloaded them all fresh and installed them? I know that if you use back up (titanium or my backup pro) for apps, they well often give fcs... I only ever back up the data for apps....
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Just curious, why does my internet connection drop everytime I get a call? This only happens when I'm not on wifi. Isn't gsm phones supposed to support simultaneous choice and data?
[Desire Android Development] RucaNebas:
Thanks again Richard.

I followed your instructions but it doesn't work.

Do you thing that if I will do a "wipe factory" and reinstal the 2.6 will resolve this issue?
[Desire Android Development] elburna:
3g & Hsdpa can handle that. Edge and Gprs are not able to handle data and call at the same time (they can only use one line). Of course a call will always get the priority.

So it's a network thingy and not a phone one ;)

[Desire Android Development] okan22:
thanks now it's working!!!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I've always backed up app and data (for around a year now) and had no problems... I think it may have something to do with the apps that were fc were backed up, when they needed to be updated first.. then I updated and maybe caused errors? Only real explanation I guessing.... strange one...
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Should work because i don't think other people have the theme manager problem.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What he said...

But seriously, maybe try deleting the theme chooser / provider from the phone then flash the .zip over the top..? Maybe just a corrupted app?
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
If I want to unroot, and root again, I have two questions:

1) If I take a nandroid backup of the GV now, can I restore everything perfectly the way they are right now after I root using same method again ?

2) If I unroot and then root, do I have to wipe my sd card or do the ext3 partition again or that should be fine ? Thanks :)

P.S. donno if its just me or not, but after 2.6, my phone is much faster than before :D great job richard ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
1) I guess that is how it works... not too sure... but I can't see anything to point to it not working...

2), shouldn't need to. Just run the ruu and then root, then restore nandroid... I wouldn't bother changing partition... if u need to use a goldcard, I would use a different SD card annd keep the one in the phone now separate...

I've been using Smart Keyboard Pro for over 6 months it's working flawlessly. Only downside is when you choose Turkish "İ" becomes the default letter for uppercase instead of "I". (You just gonna have to long press for "I", no big deal.)

Install Smart Keyboard Pro

Then install Turkish for Smart Keyboard Pro
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
After testing, I've realized that if something is downloading while the call comes on, the data connection stays active until the downloading/uploading is complete, then ONLY it'll drop the data connection.

When the call is hung up, the phone then takes another min or so to reconnect the data, it connects to gprs first, then 3g/hsdpa later.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, can't help about the ruu, but I just returned a desire to HTC that was rooted and had custom recovery and Rom... they gave me a reconditioned phone back... I rooted it and done the same... it had to go back again and this time they just gave me a brand new phone, so I don't think they care... they also announced all bootloaders will be unlocked on new phones... making it easy to root/flash/do whatever...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
When u said weird 100% free space, did u mean in the /cache.. it will stay like that for a while, but it will get used (ive seen it get used). It is part of the new ramdisk in the boot.img in the Rom (or something).
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Apparently, it's a known issue, and it's documented on the CM7 nightly thread...so I'm sure there'll eventually be a fix. I'm sticking with 2.4 in the meantime :)
