in laymans terms how is the new kernel better than the one from yesterday. im getting about 24 hrs out of the 12/26 and 12/29 build kernel... hope the new one can at least do that thanks for your help in advance....... and also your builds are my fav by far i love the straight lean mean gb without theming and fluff
[EVO 4G Android Development] bgmodz:
i ran about 4 traceroutes.. first was fine. 3 next ones:

got stuck on these:

15 ae-3-80.edge1.washington4.level3.net (4.69.149.143) 56.465 ms *

18 vlan905.core5.iad2.rackspace.net (72.4.122.10) 51.359 ms 56.211 ms *

and ive tried many different times of the day...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Thank you, maybe I'll try to pull them out by hand with unyaffs, just for kicks. Otherwise I'll just flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
The new kernel was updated code from the htc source. Fixes display and camera issues for 0004 rev evo hardware. The kernel is the same besides the updates. So it wouldn't hurt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Though icmp (ping) isn't the most thorough way to determine latency its a start. When it comes to packets icmp is on the very bottom of the list. You could contact your ISP and ask if they can see if there upstream is having issues. If that is the issue its the path your taking that is causing the problems. If they are too upstream there might no be much you can do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bad--Dog:
does this kernel allow for the trickle charging and if it doesnt what kernel do you recommend that does allow for it with this build? thank you
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You might want to check out Salvage kernel or ZenDroid. both are on the OP
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bad--Dog:
+ thanks will do
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Just an FYI, for those two XML files needed from a Sense ROM, instead of flashing the ROM and letting extract-files do an adb pull to grab them, I was able to extract the contents of system.img from my Sense nandroid with unyaffs and then copy them to the proper directory manually. Probably a little quicker than having to flash then flash back. We'll see tomorrow if my build completes successfully having done it this way. This method could be useful for grabbing any specific files you may need out of a backup. Instructions: http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2010/05/29/extracting-files-from-a-nandroid-backup-using-unyaffs/
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Yes of course. But I am sure users are spinning in circles simply learning to compile. now lets throw this in there. I just think for most they would just want to flash really quick. But i guess its preference. I have my files zipped up on my external HHD so I never deal with it anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
any idea why a build wasn't complete to ~/android/system/out/target/product/supersonic?

ack... too large to upload.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/129000/makelog.txt

i just issued the command to build this:

make -j2 otapackage >> makelog.txt
[EVO 4G Android Development] info[]box1:
You guys are funny in a good way. But I'm proud to announce that 12-30 b2 is running just as good if not better as the 12-26 build. Battery life is good as MPG of a Ford hybrid lol. No lagg whatsoever.

Sent from my Evo [CM7] running Pure Google™
[EVO 4G Android Development] austontatious:
I just want to say how aweskme gingerbread is! I really think my phone is running at least as well as on the last CM6 official and gingerbread is only in the earliest development, I think this is going to be light-years ahead of Froyo. Thanks to the CM team for development and thanks Lithid for making it available to those of us who don't know how to compile. It is very much appreciated by all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Does the new market work on this gingerbread rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Everytime I try to install it, it works for a while then just forces like mad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Oooh ok then i wont bother trying yet

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dhyneland:
I have been using this one without any problems. No force closes yet. I clear both caches, flash new CM7 nightly, then flash gapps, then new market all in the same recovery session.

View attachment vending-227-update.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
How long have you been running with it? usually between 24 - 48 hours it borks up at some point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:
it worked...

thank you for posting this how to. and just as importantly...thank you for answering many of the questions and updating the OP. I'm a windows vet but linux newb. your patience and willingness to share is very appreciated.

first time I've ever had need or desire to compile anything and it worked beautifully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dhyneland:
Ever since the 12/26 build. Also want to clarify I have only flashed this over top of the 1226 gapps have not tried to flash over the 1228. Using stock kernel also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Hey is there any way to change the font size on the messaging app, this is an option is 6.1.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You might be able to push the older Mms.apk until there is a fix. If not I think I could port it over, let me know.

In Term:

mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/app
reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
How do i obtain the apk of the old mms
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Pull it from the CM rom that has the setting you want. I am currently trying it now. But I flashed the new clockwork last night to see how well it was working for the evo since it was all updated for the wimax partitions and it def just broke on me.. I can't flash anything and just freezes when I click on a option. I am using the 2.02 hboot so its def not ready for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I added a folder called "Extras" check it out you might find something you like in there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Ok good to know i also have 2.02 so will not try clockwork
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Sweet do i just flash this over the old one using ra recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Yup I just tested it and it works so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Sweet u rock dude
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Hey what is the cmextras file in the extras folder
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
All three of those updates bundled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Ooooh ok thanks for a sec i got excited thinking its the cm settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
That is called CMParts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fearphage:
Is GPS working for you guys? Gowalla won't lock for me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Sometimes it does, sometimes is doesn't
[EVO 4G Android Development] fearphage:
I opened GPS status and toggled airplane mode a few times and fixed permissions through ROM Manager. At some point it started working.

Also before fixing permissions, the facebook app would FC. Now it doesn't.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Strange, I never had an issue with facebook. Thanks for the heads up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Thanks lithid for these instructions and helping people out who are new to compiling. My build completed successfully and I flashed it but I'm now at a boot loop, I see the green Android guy but I can't tap anything and then it reboots to the blue animation. I have not updated my CWM. Searching this thread but don't see a common cause to this issue yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
You are not using the gapps that were posted in the mediafire folder. Using the gapps for cm6 will not working and causes severe issues. let me know if that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
You're right, thanks. I included gapps with my build. I tried just flashing the new gapps but it still went to a boot loop. Back to my 6.1.1 backup for now. Maybe I'll try doing another build without gapps as instructed in the OP then flash that and the right gapps and see if that helps. Does it matter if I flash both in the same recovery session?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Don't build with the gapps. They are not made to work with GB yet. You need to only flash the gapps posted in the folder. You do it just like you would 6.1.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdp:
Yeah, since it still boot looped after flashing the right gapps, maybe the gapps that were included with my build were still interfering. I'll do another build without them and try again. Either way, it's nice to have been able to build this successfully. I'm a developer and would love to be able to contribute someday. Thanks for the help and have a happy New Year tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Ill be here at work. Meh. but happy new year to you as well!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
CM is updating some source. Looks like we will have a kang later today. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Does gps work on this rom it doesn't seem to be working for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Its flaking here and there. I have gotten it to work sometimes and not so much other times. You would also be able to see that on the OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkotoric:
Oooh ok thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
What is a kang?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Lol, that's actually a funny question because it can mean many things depending upon who you are talking to.

From a negative standpoint it can mean a developer who uses someone else's code without giving credit. From a positive standpoint it can mean an improvement on existing code.

In this case I am assume he means the latter.

Unofficial release... notice the word KANG
[EVO 4G Android Development] chandlerw88:
Haha excuse my kanguage
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
I've been tempted to modify buildspec.mk to make the ro.modversion be the nightly... then post a picture on xda and watch the freak out commence!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I promise it would be debunked in minutes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
so an official release (including some 4g goodness maybe?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] austontatious:
Because I like to push the red button... Whats in the folder labeled "Animation - Dont Flash" and why shouldn't we flash it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
off screen animations... that you shouldn't flash:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] austontatious:
Can you elaborate, or would that ruin the fun? What do they break? When I was using one of the other GB ROMs I kept having to "redecorate" everytime I powered off, I wondered if that had something to do with it... Or should I just nandroid, try it, and see?

*EDIT* and when I *DON'T* flash it, do I just flash after I flash the ROM, or in a different recovery session... hypothetically speaking. Cause I'm not going to. Probably...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
By default its disabled for CM7 currently. I set up that patch so that people can look at it. It might not cause any issues it might cause tons. Most people don't care what it says and will flash anyways. lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
If I were not going to flash it, I wouldn't flash it anytime I didn't want to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:

You know, we are going on 3 weeks since the big announcement that they had cracked 4g on cm. Still nothing public. Makes you wonder.

Any hints on when we we actually see 4g on cm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
This comment officially melted my brain :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] austontatious:
What is CM Repo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] datajosh:
I know Shinzul's still working on it. Now that the holidays are almost over they should be able to work on it some more. From what I've read it's mostly down to working out the bugs and adding the necessary UI elements. I'm hoping they'll get the commits made before I go to Atlanta next month so I can give 4G a try without flashing a Sense ROM :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I don't know what it is, but every build since 28 has lagged like hell on my phone. Who knows? Frustrating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] measter:
I tried to flash the animation and it says installation aborted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Only someone that has actually has the testing rom and kernel for the 4g can verify that this is true and not some hoax. I assure you that this is no Hoax.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Are you still using that ext4 partitioning?
[EVO 4G Android Development] datajosh:
Are you using ClockworkMod Recovery 3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Isn't sad that this is now the first step of troubleshooting evo roms? lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] iomthd:
It's the CyanogenMod team's own code repository with their edits made to that new features can be added in and legacy devices can be compatible... I think
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Correct. They sync with aosp gingerbread. Name this branch gingerbread in the cm repo. So by default when you build from source its all aosp pure. But in the configuration they can specify which repo to pull the application from. So lets say the music app. Now instead of the app being aosp music app its now being built from the cm gingerbread branch not the aosp gingerbread branch. I'm mobile hope this makes "non-sense"
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
you need to do the git init in the ~/android/system folder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
Just flashed the build from the OP and its pretty slick. ofcourse some things don't work, so I'm not going to use it as a daily driver till TD releases a nightly, but I'm still excited!

... not as much as I am for 4G, but we'll see
[EVO 4G Android Development] teshxx:
any way to find out what things are updated in source if we are buildin our own cm rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
twitter.com/cmsrc
[EVO 4G Android Development] nukedukem:
Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I did that because the wiki is pretty straight forward, but I'll try that when I get back to my machine in a few weeks. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Updated: 12/24/10

For the shallow android flasher like myself,

The good: It is relatively stable, there is little lag, the Gingerbread icons and scrolling UI elements are present, the updated application settings and battery view is included.

The bad: There is no 4G, wifi is hard to attain, gps is hard to attain, there is no screen off animation (my favorite thing about GB), there are no notification bar toggles, no CyanogenMod settings (themes, notification bar tweaks, performance, lock screen gestures, etc.), and also no font size options for messaging. The camera is locked at 3mp, and there are no led notifications.

This post is not to discredit CM in any way, I am just pointing out what I find important in a rom, and what I believe most others look for in a CM rom however may not find in this beta rom.

Merry Christmas!
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
dude this is not a beta our alpha to be honest. its real early in the cm7 progression. it was just made available to be built today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
I agree completely but the only thing to consider is that there is a reason cyanogen hasn't released it yet!

I personally have zero issues with GPS or Wifi. The 4G is on its way and notification toggles and CM settings will be merged as the more base functions are finalized.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Totally agree, which is why I tried to emphasize "shallow" and "beta" haha

I could not get wifi to connect, same story with gps :/ No worries, I love me some CM 6.1.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] EJerVJerO:
Can someone explain this part of the build?

[EVO 4G Android Development] rstuckmaier:
lithid, where is the widget to turn on 4g?

and i have a evo with the new clockwork 6.1 what is winzip up date and how u do it ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
What 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cdorrell12000:
Sorry no 4g
[EVO 4G Android Development] rstuckmaier:
Sorry guys, it's a joke from the CM forum. I kinda figured the sarcasm wouldn't follow over in type.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
yea sorry my winzip won't update. I am stuck at the red triangle what gives?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
Thanks for re-posting this here, Lithid. As a fledgling developer, I want badly to get into actual Android development, but feel like I'm going to leap into the ocean and drown.

The only way to learn is to do it, so thanks for the motivation for others to try. :) I'm going to start now.

(Here's hoping you and the rest of teamdouche have a lot of patience. :))

Here's my first question:

There's a lot of talk about new display drivers to support 32-bit for Gingerbread. Along these lines, it's being reported that the Adreno drivers received a substantial update. How/where do we get such drivers and compile them for Gingerbread? Are they released as part of the source for Gingerbread from AOSP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
What did I re-post?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:
Your guide on building CM from the CM wiki?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
OOO ok yes that makes sense sorry. Yea NP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Well maybe I'm not looking deeply enough into the inner working of things but so far this runs pretty much perfectly for me.

I especially enjoy the easy corrections features in the new keyboard and find the error correction to be outstanding. As a sloppy typist this is greatly appreciated.

I notice the screen resolution seems better as well. I am guessing this is the 32bit thing in action.

So, better that Froyo? Yes. Earthshaking changes? No.

[EVO 4G Android Development] datajosh:
Yeah it is lol... I hope someone figures out a way to straighten out the recovery mess soon :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bad--Dog:
Didn't this have a power widget in the notification pull down a couple builds ago or was that another gb build I can't keep them all straight
[EVO 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
They do in CM Froyo rom only. They haven't integrated this feature in GB yet

Sent from my CM6.1 Powered device
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bad--Dog:
i musta lost my mind i coulda sworn i saw it on a gb build a few nights ago ... o well ive flashed so many roms and kernels in the last week that i cant remember one from the other anymore
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Ha it happens. That is why we are here right? To flash eachother erm, roms flsah roms... :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] datajosh:
I think that's the feature I miss most from CM6 right now, can't wait until that makes it over to GB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
I miss it too. It is a rather convenient feature that doesn't clutter desktop.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bmxrider4444:
Sounds neat to me, I've use cyanogen, but never played with the setting but seems like it would be very useful for people like me that have horrid Sprint reception, but good roaming coverage

Yeah u can force roam on CM Froyo rom. It was under wireless settings mobile networks. affiliated network= roam only

[EVO 4G Android Development] d.vann10:
what exactly are those different apps in the extras folder? Like what do they do? I haven't seen much discussion about them..
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Some apps pulled from cm6 that work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
lithid,

Does the mms.apk in /extras/ support size compression?
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
I'm not the only one? I noticed this too. Made me switch back to CM6 actually. What's this about ext4? No one ever explained it to me lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Its the same apk that is in Cm6.1.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Thanks. Didn't know they released a stable. Been addicted to Gingerbread =p

Ohh, you got new Honeycomb music apk too! Sweet!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
I am ocd about cyanogenmod android. I gotta know whats going on. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Can some one inform me on ext4? I am under the impression that the lag from the latest build is somehow related.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Some have been using apps2sd with ext4 filesystem. Since I am not using that and everything is fine. I am guessing that apps2sd is related.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Does my Evo use the ext4 file system just by running this rom? If so, is using apps2sd a good option or bad one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
No it is not enabled. By default the native apps2sd works which uses the fat32 partition already installed by most. Right now I wouldn't try messing with any other apps2sd until they are confirmed working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] anaglich:
Man, could this lag be from the launcher? When scrolling in the app drawer, the response feels delayed, unlike cm6.1.1. Animations or transitions also do not feel as smooth. I don't understand what is causing this, as I am almost certain one of the first betas I flashed ran like butter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Could be I have been using ADW Ex and its very quick... maybe this is why I don't see these issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
I believe it's the stock adw launcher. I use adw launcher ex and it's very buttery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Hey with that Honeycomb music found out if you just install it via adb of the file manager you don't get the force closes
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Sweet! Going to try that now.

Update: adb install gives me "file 'xxx' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Pull out the apk from the zip and install it that way.

Also, instead of 3g are you seeing a G?

Edit: Speeds are faster then usual tho
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
It works! Thanks! Playing around with it now, so far no FC.

Yeah, I'm getting G and 1x sometimes. It goes back and forth, kind of unstable.

I have 2.15.00.11.19 radio.

Edit: I'll do a speed test too though I don't know why it's giving me a server so far away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Yea I have the same radio. O well. No biggie. stays solid at g for me.

Edit: Geez I have never seen those speeds in my area like this on 3g. I like it though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Could those be 4G speeds? :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
Well when on a sense rom with 4g im about at 3000kbps and right now im getting 1500kbps.... I don't think its 4g but def better. 4g isn't even in this rom yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Heh. False hope. That's pretty good 3G. Try another speed test during peak hours. I think it's due to the time of the day right now for those speeds.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
lithid,

What type of backup/restore method do you use to maintain data/app so you don't have to do everything (settings, data, apps, etc) over at every full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lithid-cm:
titantium backup pro
[EVO 4G Android Development] Clark008:
Does Titanium work across sense roms too?
