Jeez, i was just kidding mate. I really respect what you guys are doing!

Truth is, yeah, I am / we are addicted to flash new releases. But on the other side, we help to find bugs and new / report on remaining issues.

Its fun to help out, and to experience the development of a new, great ROM :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
ok gridlock we are waiting..I am addicted to Gingerbread after i try it..i like that the copy paste is back,feels very fast and smooth,beautiful lock animation etc..
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
The kernel is still the same as it was for froyo but they way gb handles some system processes changes the interaction with it

Cm7 was switched to ext 4 for speed and stability improvements. It has been up on review.cyanogenmod to revert it back to ext3 by koush and cyanogen doesn't want to (I agree with him, our speed improvements are thanks to ext 4) but if you really really were intent on making a ext 3 version you would be able to see the changes you would have to make by reading the diff between current and supposed changes (involves tweaking the init plus the updater-script)

We are patient. )) By the way, I want to thank you personally for your work and and for a perfect New year mood.
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Thanks guys, the water is slightly less muddy now :)

Thanks for the working/not-working list - makes it clearer as to what I would be loosing in day-day use.

I will flash the latest version when I get back from CES and hopefully stick with it - but I need my camera working until then :)
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
@gridlock i saw that build 26 is uploaded for vision-glacier?

Our device ace is next?
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
No problem and last year sucked (so glad it is over)

2011 has started out great! I got 2 new possible job offers I am exploring, a side project that I hope I can get going, help out on the aosp project for samsung fascinate once cm7 goes stable, 2 free pizzas up at pizza hut last night. So far in all for only being the 4th day of the year I am already feeling good about it

oh yes!!! i will got the next build really hot!!

EDIT: i will try it and then i will write an extended report of first how to flash rom-gapps and second what is working good-not working.

Now it's my turn to really thank you!!
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
Camera/camcorder is working in this build plus the 3d gallery memory leak is gone. There was also some ril work done so maybe better signal :)

But I will be quiet for awhile guys cause I got company at work that is gonna keep me distracted :(

Build script is still running and going, will upload when builds are done

Congratulations! Wish you to get maximum from all your opportunities. )) Pizza... It is a good idea. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
Can i ask someone who knows exactly?

I am now after full wipe(everything) in build 25..Can i flash the new build without wipe anything?Is this procedure a reason of problems in rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] Pure Energy:
I guess it's only for real bugs and crashes. From b22 I flash w/o any wipes and everything is ok and fast.

Yesss, uploading just has been started!
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
it's because the uptader zip wipe before installing?

[Desire HD Android Development] saquib:
Downloading now...
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
hmmm, if B#26 has camera working then I might be taking a 2.3 phone to Vegas :D

will see what people's feedback is... itchy tigger finger though... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] MrGarak:
Camcorder tested and working in HD on build 26!

Pull the trigger richbayliss :p

Edit - I think videos may be only formatted in 3GP right now so maybe not HD, but the option is there.
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Hmmmmm..... its downloaded.... on the SDCard :D

Just need to find out how to switch cwm2 to cwm3.... any takers?
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
yes of course..i can help you..but you must have set properly the android sdk to run fastboot commands..have you?
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
Rename the cwm3.img to recovery.img put it on the root directory of you sdrcard and enter terminal and type this

Su

Flash_image recovery recovery.img

It is that simple

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Right: All info in 1 go :)

DHD is Radio S-OFF and SuperCID (as per here)

Installed RomManager & Recovery 2.5.1.3

PC is Win7 64bit w/SDK installed (I do app development) so ADB is in the path.

Also, "fastboot" is in the path and works on my other HTC devices.

I tried a fastboot from the bootloader, but as I only have Radio S-OFF this is a no-go. I am hesitant to flash ENG bootloader to get this, but if I have to then I will.

Need anything else? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Aww, too bad it didnt fix my lagging issue... But I wont be mentioning this any further now anyways, seems like its a pretty rare case.

But other than that -> Runs great! Amazing how stable it already is. It's good for everyday use actually!
[Desire HD Android Development] Pure Energy:
Guys, still can't assign personal ringers. Could anyone check it, whether it is general or my own prob? Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Ha! I type tooooo slow.

Trying this now...
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
I really didn't experience any lag in my homescreen,even if i wanted!!:o:confused:

i will check it..
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
thanks i didn't know that!!

EDIT:for me setting a ringtone for a seperate contact working fine..
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Well, I guess its a pretty rare problem. It has been confirmed 2-3 more times by others. The Homescreen just doesnt feel smooth, and the app drawer opening animation is studdering. Even when I open a SiMi Folder, the opening animation lags.

But there arent alot of people how can recreate this. I guess its some kind of hardware related issue, since every device gets manufactured differently.

The very first couple of releases were absolutely buttery smooth for me as well, as are all Sense based ROMs like Android Revolution or Stock ROM.

My device isnt faulty or anything, since everything works flawless when switching back to 2.2 or 2.2.1 ... 3D Apps like Games or the 3D Gallery are running buttery smooth on Gingerbread, and so are Benchmarks. I just get lags while outside of any 3D accelerated applications.
[Desire HD Android Development] Pure Energy:
Ok, thanks. Will try to find what and where did I set up in the options. )))))
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
my friend i can't help you more..that is really bad,maybe it is a setting you have in CyanogenMod Settings..
[Desire HD Android Development] dubbeld00:
I had a lag on previous versions of CM7 (#13 or lower), but since #20 and up I didn't had this problem. The lag was noticable in the Home screen and app drawer.

Fixed permissions? Did a factory reset?

I can't imagine that it's hardware related...

Btw Tnx for these builds! The latest #26 is working without any (noticable) bugs, Great!
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
I go to contacts sellect one Menu\options\Ringtone..
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
No, i've tried everything. Tried to change the cache size, disabled dithering and so on... Nothing helped. It already happened with some releases before CMParts were included. I guess it started around Build #13 or #14 ... I recently flashed a very early release just to confirm myself, and the very early build ran buttery smooth. But, as you can imagine, it was pretty buggy.

Dunno, it feels like Live Wallpapers are running constantly in the background, like that kind of lag. But I even tried to remove all the LWP's, but that didnt help at all. So, yeah, dunno what to do. I wiped all partitions multiple times, but always the same story.
[Desire HD Android Development] Pure Energy:
Actually I do exactly the same in the default contacts app flashed with latest gapps from gridlock's site. After I choose the nonstandard ringtone - nothing happens, and ringtone remains default. I guess I will try a clean install of, for instance, b30. )))) Thank you again.
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Weird, thats when it started to happen for me o_O

I fixed all permissions, from Recovery, and from ROM Manager. No use at all. Did multiple factory resets, and manually formatted everything (except for boot, since thats not possible with CWM 3.x) ... I really tried alot of possible solutions.

The CPU is clocked at 1,51 Ghz. And well, Linpack gives me around 54.300 points, and Quadrant gives me 2.800 Points (regardless of the black screens for 2 tests). Heavy Gunner works great, and Fruit Ninja and as well as Angry Birds as well, they even seem to run and load quite faster than in Sense UI (2.2.1).
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Just tried it and I get the following response:

$ su

su

# flash_image recovery recovery3.img

flash_image recovery recovery3.img

flash_image: not found

I tried with a capital "F" also and no joy - am I missing something on the phone?
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
You are missing the flash_image binary

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
I thought the same, I tried a version off CM wiki and get an "error scanning partitions" message.

Anyone know where I can get a working binary? I am currently running a stock firmware which is rooted via Visionary+
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Scratch that - pulled a version from the B#17
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Just tried booting my device without SD card and without SIM card. Same story, so its not related to anything with that. It must be inside the software, since other ROMs run stunningly fast on my device...

I dont know if ANYBODY can fix it, since it seems to be a pretty rare issue... but i would be glad if some of the devs can somehow discover this problem. its the only thing that drives me a little nuts here...
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
Boot into recovery and go into the advanced dir and run wipe /system then wipe /data then flash the rom and then gapps

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Well, my friend, I already did this like 10 times already. Wiped /system and /data and /cache, installed the ROM, then Google Apps, rebooted, rebooted again for WLAN, then went into recovery again to fix permissions...

Its absolutely no use, it still lags...
[Desire HD Android Development] saquib:
Another suggestion is test the performance of the newly flashed rom BEFORE setting up your Google Account (skip past this step in the registration process). There may apps which are loaded on automatically which are affecting performance.
[Desire HD Android Development] Try4Ce:
Already did that, since I suggested the same. Set up CM7 RC0 build #23 that time without Gapps, just for testing. Lag was there nonetheless.

Like I said, it seems to be a pretty special issue, and i guess almost nobody is affected by that... and I'm one of the unlucky ones. It happened over time of development tho.
[Desire HD Android Development] tready:
Perhaps all the flashing u av done as screwed your phone up
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Been following your (sorry) rant about lags for a while, don't you think putting it up on a youtube may probably give people an idea how it looks like exactly?

[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
Just wanted to feedback to gridlock regarding the B26 rom:

Overall:

Fast! Smooth! Sexy!

Working:

Google Apps all OK

WiFi after reboot (do we know why the reboot is needed?)

WiFi available networks list a bit slow

Not Working:

Nothing that I can tell as of yet

Wishlist:

Use Zeam/Stock launcher instead of ADWLauncher (Zeam feels a lot quicker)

Keep standard live wallpapers (CM Nexus looks naff IMHO)

Well Done! Maybe some instructions on your build process would be cool, as I can build AOSP Gingerbread without issue, so would be cool to maybe rip out the fixes from CM7 and drop into a "vanilla" build... what you think?
[Desire HD Android Development] sykopompos:
I was thinking that a vanilla build might be in the plans once cm7 goes official with some of the fixes from cm7 into aosp source because a lot of people are requesting it. Right now we are just building a pure to the stock cm7 source based rom and it is more of a nightly if anything to give people a taste of it and so they can provide feedback and help isolate issues.

If you wanted to build a vanilla aosp build without the cyanogen overlays to make a more aosp build I can lead you into that direction

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[Desire HD Android Development] richbayliss:
That would be awesome - I am not massively experienced at the ROM building, but I desperately want to learn. I can hack about with update.zip files etc, but the really core stuff I am quite green at :)

Maybe we could start a wiki detailing the steps to acquire the CM7 nightly source, remove the overlays, and build - I'm sure many people could likely learn and benefit from this. Also, I would be happy to publish these builds on a less regular basis that the #crackflashers routine - maybe just when larger steps are made - such as B#26 where most things work etc.

If you want to get intouch then PM or Twitter me - I should get updates pretty quickly that way.

Cheers!

Hi all!!

Is there a simple way to remove adwlauncher? tks a lot!! :o
[Desire HD Android Development] tready:
There's a tool for.removing cm apps I forget were it is just read through the threads u will c it
[Desire HD Android Development] MrGarak:
Try Rom Cleaner on the ROM .zip or there's a great little app on the market called 'SystemApp Remover' for around a Euro.
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Early impression on build #26:

Smooth!

Video recording when flip sideways (horizontal/landscape orientation) has caused distorted picture covered by full screen fuzzy crawling scanlines, dunno how to describe it. However, vertical/portrait orientation works just fine.
[Desire HD Android Development] dubbeld00:
open console and mount /system/ RW (REQUIRED!)

su
mount -o rw,remount /system

See all apps

cd /system/app/
ls

Remove an app (for example ADWLauncher)

rm -r ADWLauncher.apk

Mount your system RO (REQUIRED!)

mount -o ro,remount /system

Might be easier, or more fun, since you can use the console :) and see linux in action! All those GUI's... you don't even know what you are really doing anymore.
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
@gridlock yes i can confirm this issue..

to recreate:go to gallery and select a video to play when you are in portrait mode..

you will see the half of video and the other half is distorted picture covered by fuzzy crawling scanlines..something like that..

So you cant watch a video in portrait..In landscape it works normally..

Gallery problem here!

EDIT: I also found that if you have turn off the autorotation and try to play a video cannot be played..force close
[Desire HD Android Development] tready:
Mine works fine landscape portrait which ever way I hold it no problems here
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
look what i say..if you turn off the autorotation doesn't work!Try to disable is display settings..and then watch a video..
[Desire HD Android Development] tready:
Sorry m8 your right turn off auto and its just blue lines weird
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:

[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:

[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
why what's the benefit?
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
but of course, vid recording is working (plays in landscape just fine)
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
it also works in build 26!!!

You guys read all the post!!

The video playback is distorted only in portrait mode!!Nothing else..The camera works fine..photo and video..
[Desire HD Android Development] zyssai:
I have removed ADWLauncher like descripted on previous page, but I think now I don't have an other launcher 'cause my phone don't wanna boot :D

edit: repushed ADWLauncher.apk, phone is rebooting correctly :) How can I make cm7 boot with original 2.3 launcher?
[Desire HD Android Development] BumAround:
Umm, actually is the other way around: landscape (horizontal) distorted, while portrait (vertical) is just fine. No probs whatsoever in b#19.

Now, just wondering what has this fella done to get it (b#26) working w/o prob
[Desire HD Android Development] sardelisp:
don't know why but i am in the other side..landscape working good..

(i have flashed the build26 above build 25 without wipe anything)

[Desire HD Android Development] lefty83:
as we currently can't restore backups in cwm 3 cause boot formatting doesn't work, has anyone tried doing "advanced restore" and just restoring data/system from the backups?

That way we should be able to restore a backup fully (excluding boot restore)??? Can anyone confirm?
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
Yes

Yes i have been doing this for a while and it works perfectly!

PS i think i tried formatting boot, it returned an error, but than i still managed to restore and entire nandroid backup using CWM 3 but i may have been imagining.
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
If im understanding you correctly your saying you can restore old cwm2.xxx rom backups with a cwm3.xxx recovery image?
[Desire HD Android Development] bratfink:
No i dont think so, (although you wont get an error with the boot partition). Im under the impression the CWM recovery images cannot restore the /system partition due to them only being able to recognise ext4 system partitions and not the yaffs2? (i think) that the old froyo roms /system partitions were formatted under. Although under the same token i guess you could restore a 2.x roms data? But i havnt tried, this is all speculation.
[Desire HD Android Development] gillepy:
Thanks for the reply mate, I got a little bit excited there and thought i could go back and forth between cm6 and cm7 without my computer.

I have a problem.

I can´t for the life of me get my device to show up in fastboot, and therefore cant flash any 3.x.x.x version of recovery.

I boot my phone in to fastboot, but when typing "fastboot devices" i can´t find my phone.

ADB seems to work, as i can see my device when typing "adb devices", but for fastboot, none.

And i´m typing the comand in the FASTBOOT USB menu.

I got ENG H-boot and Radio S-Off.

Anyone have an idea?
[Desire HD Android Development] zantekk:
does your device manager shows up any missing drivers when you are in fastboot mode ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Polobyxa:
No, my device is recognized as "Android Bootloader Interface" under category "Android Phone".
[Desire HD Android Development] zantekk:
mhhh...do you have the newest fastboot binary from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html ? otherwise it has to be a driver problem.

go and try to update you sdk. maybe that will solve your problem
[Desire HD Android Development] Polobyxa:
SDK is already updated, got the v4.0 of google usb drivers.

And now i got the binary.

Still NO GO.

Yeah, it probably is a driver issue, but i have no idea what to do, feels like i have tried everything to get this **** going.

EDIT: GOT IT WORKING. Like you said, driver issue. Thought i had tried every possible combination of drivers, but obviously i had missed one. God i hate windows.
