I've looked at the download issue, it's due to the 06mountdl script not running correctly, when running from the terminal it says:

So the download directory for the market doesn't get mounted. This can be solved by just editing the script and removing the check for the /cache partition size, that is, just leaving the #/bin/bash and the mount lines and removing the rest.

Of course only do this if you know you have a small /cache, else it's not really useful.

I'll try, maybe a symlink instead of mounting might work so it persists when rebooting
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I can remember doing quite the same, didn't help. But does it for you?
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
I think it did, you can run mount on a terminal emulator and see if the mounted device is there. If not you can run the command manually.

Oh.. Maybe another reason is that the folder in data which is mounted might not exist, see if its there

[Desire Android Development] soronk:
ok. you encouraged me playing with the 06mountdl file:)

when i execute the next line in terminal editor, /data/local/download represent the cache partition and i can download what i want :)

mount -o bind /data/local/download /cache

but, it doesnt persist a reboot, saaaaadly! what can i do? i tried to write down the same line into 06mountdl but doesn't work.

then i made two discoveries from my "reduxv2 system":

- a folder named download in cache partition doesn't persist a reboot

- downloadfiles from market are saved in /cache

- edits in 06mountdl doesn't change anything

now two questions:

- how can i load the cache parition in /data ?

- what is the cache partition for? is there any reason i shouldn't do this? :)
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
Okay, now on my computer, the script fails due to being designed for busybox version of df.

You can fix it by replacing

CACHESIZE=$(df -k /cache | tail -n1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)

by

CACHESIZE=$(busybox df -k /cache | tail -n1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)

This way, if the script is invoked, the link will be mounted.

This is the "correct" way to load the cache partition. It's only used by radio updates (I think), and market downloads, so that's why the only folder symlinked is /cache/download, the one that's used by the market.

Now, it seems that /cache/download is removed on boot or sometimes for some reason. So the fix for this is just create it again. The script should be like this

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# bind mount /data/local/download to /cache/download if cache
# partition is too small
#

CACHESIZE=$(busybox df -k /cache | tail -n1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2)
if [ $CACHESIZE -lt 20000 ]
then
mkdir /cache/download
mount -o bind /data/local/download /cache/download
fi

exit 0

This way it *should* work, I'll try but I'm not sure
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Hmm, it seems that the toolbox `df` (/system/bin/df) is being called, instead of the busybox one. Will fix ASAP.
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
It seems to be because it's being symlinked to toolbox instead of busybox, and this script is done for the busybox version.

BTW, could you enable ADB shell entering as root, just like CM7 does? This can be done by changing a flag on the default.prop file (ro.secure), as described here:

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...to-run-adb-shell-as-root-without-typing-in-su

This way commands such as adb remount work
[Desire Android Development] naf007:
So any more news on 2.0 ?

Hows it coming along ? :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yeah, changes for both the ro.secure flag and the duplicate symlinks already went in. Next build will fix these issues. :)
[Desire Android Development] theyau:
When will the next build be released
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
Thanks for all the work, can't wait for it :)

I'm having some issues with Opera Mini doing some strange things with fonts, I'll try to pinpoint what is causing them.. update: they suddenly disappeared, lol.
[Desire Android Development] prup:
just cheering you on

Yeah!! Keep up the good work
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Try and push DroidSans.tff and DroidSans-Bold.ttf from other ROMs to /system/fonts. Do tell me if this fixes your problem. :)
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
It gave me some funny messages later about "calculating font sizes", with a percentage bar that went up to 100%.. and then popping out again and going from 100% to 200% :eek:

Anyway, it fixed itself when I opened it again a few hours later. It was probably some kind of bug with Opera not recognizing properly fonts or something.

Oh, one more thing: there is some bug on wpa_supplicant causing trouble with Eduroam networks (those found all over European universities). I don't know if they've fixed it (I reported it), but there is a workaround commenting some lines on wpa_supplicant code. If you want to fix it (as it seems CM7 ignored or didn't work yet on the bug report) there are details on here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2479#c34

Anyway, I don't know if it still occurs with the 2.3.5 codebase. I'll tell you in a few weeks when I get back to the uni (or if in your university there's Eduroam then you'll suffer it too :) )
[Desire Android Development] howdid:
wow can´t believe how fast.... im flying :D after using sense 3.0 roms for 1 week now this feels so fast... great work ! and the notification bar is just awesome can´t wait for future developement i think i stay with this:cool:
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I had a play this afternoon, and like it a lot. Very easy to use, and gives a fresh look which stands out from the other AOSP ROMs.

Obviously customisation will be helpful, as people's needs vary (e.g. I leave GPS on permanently, so that toggle isn't useful to me, but I also turn mobile data/3G on and off as required, which someone else might not do). Was the plan to add more toggles, or to make the set configurable?

What would make it perfect for me would be if it also had the feature that many ROMs' power widgets have, that a long press takes you to the relevant settings menu. On CM I find I use that rather than the actual menu system for accessing many settings (it's a lot quicker).

But yeah, kudos for a great idea. I know there's something a bit similar in MIUI, but I prefer the look and feel of this one (in fact I don't use the grid arrangement in MIUI). Plus the behaviour is better, starting with the toggles if there are no notifications (pleased that Tasker's "no active profiles" message was ignored, and it went straight to toggles anyway). So for me this is a definite plus point for the ROM.

Unfortunately I've not tested the integrated music controls yet, so can't comment on them, but it looks a nice touch. Does it work with any music player, or is it tied to the inbuilt app? Guess I'll find out next time I have a chance :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Thanks for the feedback guys. ;)

Will add more toggles. Mobile data and network mode switches are on track, they just didn't make it in this build. Also, the multitasking panel was built with customization in mind, but it will come at a later stage, only after the basic functionality is satisfactory.

Can do. :) I've considered including this as well. But please bare with me, take current builds as "very early samples".

There's no need to test it. Their functionality is very limited (and broken) with third-party applications in the latest build. I've since updated the controls making them play nice with other music apps. The only drawback is that it will not be possible to display the current playing track.

Stay tuned, for there are many more features I'm currently considering/developing. For example... how about integrated SwiFTP functionality?
[Desire Android Development] theyau:
That would be great
[Desire Android Development] Marvinfin:
Loving 2.0 RC so far, was just wondering if there was anyway to get a battery % back as i can't find any option too atm, once again thanks for the great work, loving the new multitasking panel
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Think it'll be part of a future snapshot. But you can make your own on the UOT Kitchen.
[Desire Android Development] nicklashidegard:
Jazzk Battery mod

% battery for the latest snapshot.
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
What?! Wait is there a new version of Redux?! Cool! How is it compared to Oxygen?

edit: ok, a couple of pages back i found it! cool. Still how do you think this is in terms of speed and battery compared to oxygen?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
How do you think it compares?
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
I reckon it looks better, battery drain is the same. Pretty much same speed.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
sounds cool :)

btw. when i toggle airplane mode through notification area and switch it of through the "power options" the toggle stays green.
[Desire Android Development] zokipirlo:
Audio controls in multitasking panel are ok with default music player. I had problems with doubletwist.
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
will there be screenshot intergration
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
I'm wondering a behavior similar to the bt icon: if the service is active, the icon appears in the notification area, otherwise not.
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Would it be possible to add this CM7 fix for fading between autobrightness levels?

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3263

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,4998
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thing is the BT icon shows:

1) Service activated

2) Service connected

WiFi Shows:

1) Service connected to WiFI

2) Service Connected to google

3) Signal Strength

It may be a fair bit of work to get another in there to show WiFi turned on, for only one person who w3ants this feature.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Quick controls revamping is done: Multimedia controls work fine with third-party apps, mobile data and network mode switches were added, bluetooth toggle now is yellow while switching and long pressing now jumps into the corresponding seetings pane.

Now onto that FTP server functionality...

Typoed from my Desire
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Where can I find the most recent snapshot? I am sick of Sense and MIUI and frankly latest Oxy also gives me grief. I'm hoping Redux will keep me stable once again.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Over here:
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Removed - redundant
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
will \system, \data... be "mounted" as writable through ftp?

that would be wonderful!
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yeah, fixed it. Thanks for reporting. :)

It'll mount only the SD card.
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Just installed the latest snapshot.

How in Pete's name have you made it so damm fast ?

In my 3 hour test, all the promised things work fine, though many remain desired.

Will test it through the weekend.

The switch to Airplane mode makes the wifi multitasking icon go white and go green again when normal mode is selected.

Launcher is butter smooth.

Thanks you for making it so nice.
[Desire Android Development] unde:
Is it possible to add a feature that allow to connect to Cisco VPN?

You would be the first man who do it on an Android.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
looks like you're 200 % back :D

and this is awesome :p
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
Back with the market issue: for some reason the temp file doesn't get downloaded to /cache/download, but to /cache/downloadfile.apk :confused:

This makes the market still fail to download >5MB apks on a small /cache. Is the market on CM7 patched to download to /cache/download/, or what?

Mounting the whole /cache partition does work, but defeats the point
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Thanks for the link. Is a2sd present or do I need to install / activate it?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I found after a while on redux 1.2 that the market decided to change from /cache/download to /cache/

I use a modified market and remove the updater too so it almost happened of its own volition.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I was about to flash Redux 1.2 again, having been away for a while.

But then I noticed talk of this new version, which I see I can actually download, but its not labelled as a final official build.

So it is stable enough for day to day use? I loved Redux before, so as long as there aren't any glaringly obvious bugs like the phone doesn't work I'm thinking of flashing the new build?
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
Definetly! I'm using this now and us amazingly fast (possibly a slight edge to oxygen) plus it looks great!

Currently i'm hoping for long-press-to-kill function and screenshot! Cheers for this awesome rom!
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Just in case anyone is wondering, I just flashed the snapshot over Oxygen (the Arc Experia version) and it booted fine with the added bonus that my previous issues (SD unmounting at random ) is gone and the speed is def. faster. Done a couple of tests (median load times of apps, etc that I usually perform on all my ROMs) and I can say this one loads everything faster. Also, interface is smooth. Does this ROM already use the GPU for menu and launcher, or is everything still CPU based. I ask because I am wondering if it'll still be possible to get Desire to go even faster after GPU acceleration is implemented.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Definitely stable, I haven't encountered a single issue untill now. These are classified as test builds because everything is subject to change and new features are constantly added.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
yup just been trying it for a few hours. It's great. perfectly stable and fast as ever.

+ I love the speed of the rom

+ the new notification stuff and toggles are sweet :)

+ the keyboard

+ all the new tweaks.

+ very stable

- no a2sd? It won't let me do it in terminal either.

- no battery % (no biggie)

- just a thought, have you tried the cm7 mod of the stock android music player? makes a big difference

Anyway fantastic rom as always, sticking with this now I think. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
A2SD is included in the ROM. If it detects an sd-ext partition it automagically binds /data/app and /data/app-private to it. Check out the FAQs from the second post as to why space is still being used in /data. ;)

This feature I like too, so it will be part of Redux2 sometime.

Thank you for your kind words. :)
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
ihlades :This sure can be used for everyday.

Really a nice rom.

You have mentioned in above posts that mobile data toggle is added. I do not see it.
[Desire Android Development] Marvinfin:
I think he meant he has finished working on it for a upcoming RC release... not any that are out atm.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Anyone able to point out a script to move market cache to sd? Can't download stuff.
[Desire Android Development] Scofield.:
Finally you are back. Thanks for your ROM.

I would love to see a brightness slider (like in sense or the Miui rom) to adjust the brightnesslevel. Maybe under the music controls in the notification bar.

Is there a chance for that?
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
+1

Great job ihlades !! ;)
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
latest snapshot looks great, thanks for your great work ihlades!
[Desire Android Development] rickbosch:
This is awesome, will report back any bugs I find.

On a purely cosmetic level, will there be an unthemed version again?

Also the main clock is slightly off kilter and under the applications settings, the text doesn't fit and overlaps.

PHONE: HTC Desire GSM, S-OFF

ROM: Redux2 Snapshot 18082011

RADIO: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

KERNEL: thalamus 2.6.35.14_r1
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I'll just leave this here again...

Edit: Btw... I did read the posts a couple of pages back, but for me it was of know help. Not being very knowledgeable at Linux and stuffs makes it kinda hard to keep up with what is said back there.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
i do it this way:

1. open a terminal (e.g. this terminal)

2. this you have to type only once

su
mkdir /data/local/download

3. this i do every time after a reboot when i want to download a big app

su
mount -o bind /data/local/download /cache

4. enjoy your preferred apps! :cool:

5. you can also unmount it and mount it as normal again

su
umount /cache
mount -o rw -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache

@ihlades: in oxygen they handle it like this and this i can't do anything with this information, but maybe you can fix the bug :)
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
+1 for this
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Thanks! Worked fine.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
You can flash this one instead...its a script thatll bind the cache partition on boot...

http://www.multiupload.com/51MV5SWW27

Edit: it is alrdy present at the latest snapshot...
[Desire Android Development] rickbosch:
Additional features

Hi ihlades,

Just thought I would send some of my suggestions your way...

- Long press back to kill

- screenshot mod in reboot menu

- zeam as default launcher

- titanium backup included in system/app

Other than that, customisable notification controls is all I can think of for now.

So glad my favourite ROM is back and now it uses my favourite kernels too!

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Teisemanden:
I haven't tried the 2.0 snapshots but long press back to kill is already implemented in 1.2.
[Desire Android Development] zokipirlo:
It was in 1.2 but it's not in 2.0.

offtopic:

@ihlades: Are you in EESTEC LC Bucharest, or some other LC? :D
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
I'm in no LC. :p
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
You are a true genius... testing 2.0 snapshot from day 0 and all work perfect, not a single issue... almost perfect

Very nice the new notification bar & I love too the new font :)

Thx all for friend that posted battery percentage hack, thx also to other friend for market download trick
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
The problem isn't that Redux doesn't handle small /cache partitions like other ROMs (I know, I was supposed to 'borrow' those commits :eek:); the init.rc needs some modifications, which will be present in the next build.
[Desire Android Development] bdusmc:
Can you add lockscreen to the list please? I use XBMCremote and it's annoying to have to unlock the screen everytime I reach for the remote.
[Desire Android Development] Teisemanden:
anyone else having problems with the camera app in the latest snapshot of 2.0? Im getting black screen and FC
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
from my experiences with oxygen, i think you're problem is kernel related. use the built-in thalamus kernel, it's a good one :)
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I have to +1 ;-)

I tested latest ManU kernel and I had exactly the same behavior. With the built in one, no problem.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
There are two types of camera drivers built in the kernel: the AOSP and the CyanogenMod one. The driver is tightly coupled with some key libraries in the framework, so you can't mix them as you'd like. As such, you have got to use an AOSP camera driver kernel with Redux.

Note: In Redux 1.2 it was the opposite, you had to use the 720p driver (as found in the CM kernel).
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
What he said :)

Just use http://thalamus.ineige.org/kernels/2.6.35/ those a thalamus's newest kernels. Should work for us! It does for me!
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
I'll second this motion.
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
2.0 snapshot has already reached a state where I can use it for everyday use.

I have it configured to my taste.

Unless the next snapshot comes with something really different, I am sticking with the current one.

Thanks ihlades for making it so nice even in Beta.
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
I hope advanced automatic brightness settings make it in.

Like others, the 2nd snapshot is already my main rom :)
[Desire Android Development] anton_kg:
ihlades,

google talk does not load for some reason with the latest redux snapshot 2.

Could you fix it please?

ps. Can somebody confirm it too?
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Works like a charm here.

Actually yet to find a feature which is not working.

Though Market faces FC a couple of times when I schedule too many installations, like 7-8 at the same time.
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Works like a charm for me too...

Have a couple of things e.g auto brightness was up and down like a yo-yo and camera freezing when switching to video but a kernal change sorted those.

Still the sweetest ROM I've used!
[Desire Android Development] affmalg:
Hi guys

wonderful to see developing ongoing again :)

I've read some pages before that the snapshots doesn't fit the Oxygen Hboot.

How big is the latest snapshot unpacked?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
it's something over 90mb. but if you delete the google-apps like maps, gmail it will fit the old oxygen hboot-table :)
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Fits just fine on oxygen r2...
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
just for advanced

users I've published a stripped version of latest snapshot on my signature, this will fit also the old oxygen hboot

it was a good idea to include the almost perfect Thalamus kernel, with this is possible to activate avs + cpu frequencies without needing 3rd part application

in particular in my stripped rom I've included a script (as always under /etc/init.d) called 98mydesire that will bring down cpu during screen off at 245/245, while it will push up to 768/1113 while screen is on, like mentioned above you don't need (& you don't have) to use 3rd part cpu tweaking software

also hw keys led are turned off, simple comment out lines in the script if you want button's led

just in case read commented lines in the script to change frequencies or governor

just my 2 cents :cool:
[Desire Android Development] rickbosch:
Font

Is anyone else seeing oversized fonts in the latest snapshot? Under "applications" the name and application sizes overlap...the top clock also looks different to ihlades' picture posted on Twitter.

Cheers

Rick
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
In the latest snapshot I have increased the clock's font size (it's gray too now), but I've also seen the bug you're speaking about, in the "Applications" settings menu, and I didn't enlarge any font over there. So that's definitely something I'll revise as soon as I finish the current features I'm working on. :)
[Desire Android Development] rickbosch:
I've played with changing fonts and I've noticed that it's pretty hard to find a font that fits into that space by default. Perhaps you'll need to resize them, Segoe is quite a tall font. (Sorry, I'm a font geek too.)
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I downloaded your script to play with, thanks.

However it can be very cool to have the script with english comments, and if possible with default values. I didn't know a lot with all that, and I wonder what does some commands. I understand others but I wonder what's the differences with defaults values and how yours make it better.

Can you do that ?
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
How can I make the clock smaller, like in other GB ROMs?
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It seems that newest Titanium Backup has some problems when it's in /system/app- always FC when launching. I don't know is the problem yet, installed as update (/data/app) works fine.

Note- I'm still using Redux 1.2
[Desire Android Development] rickbosch:
I've added Titanium 4.0.2 into system/app and it works fine for me.

You should try the new snapshot, it's fantastic.
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I will and I want as soon as I'll get home (on my way back from holidays now ;) )

Anyway TB 4.0.2 refuses to work when in /system/app, wiping app data and dalvik-cache doesn't help, I'll investigate this anyway
