Thanks I will restore my apps and see whether I lose more space.

How do i flash an RIL through fastboot? The latest radio (which i use) needs the RIL from 5.11.05.27

Thanks

EDIT: Flashed the same way as a radio :) thanks anyways
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
Hi,

Everytime I press Dialer button, it goes to "contacts". Is there a way to go to the dialer pad instead of contacts?

Thank you.

EDIT: Where do I change partition table size?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
The radio doesn't *need* the RIL at all (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10852013&postcount=712)

How is your signal now?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
i cant use UOT as it dont create new edify scripts for CWM3
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
For this reason i went back to CW 2.5.0.7:(

+ couple of other things that 3 won't run
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
Signal is a lot better! From 1-2 bars before flash to full signal in my room after flashing the new RIL. Hopefully it's not some apple magic making my phone display a stronger signal that it has :)
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
i know amend scripts don't run. what else doesn't?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Maybe read and follow the instructions/links posted numerous times in this thread;)

Custom MTD Partitions

alpharev
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
The couple of other things is read as people not updating their scripts :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Not 100% sure as i don't fully understand what has been changed but i had MIUI music player and another flashable zip to change fonts and both fail with CWM3
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Point taken. :D

ziggy: pretty sure you can push miui player with adb.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I could push MIUI but TBH i hate adb and now use the music3 app with the fancy "3d cube" graphics to display albums
[Desire Android Development] technologylover:
Sorry for being such a noob but it's the first time I flash HBOOT and I don't want to brick my Desire :D

So, according to these instructions:

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img'

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything, advanced restore system & data, install CM7 again (same version or a newer one).

1) I do nandroid backup

2)I verify the md5sum

3)I flash the HBOOT via fastboot

4)I reboot into bootloader

5)I erase cache

6)I boot into recovery , wipe all user data, I do an advanced restore of system & data and I reboot. Am I right?

Edit: I flashed the HBOOT (it wasn't hard at all) just followed the instructions :)
[Desire Android Development] Rudolfje:
I think it also tells you to re-install CM.

Sounds pretty essential to me :p
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Currently I'm on CM6.1.1, Bravo Stock 1.8 HBOOT with Firerat script...

This issue regarding radio is worrying me. Do i have to flash a new radio when going to the new CM7 HBOOT?

Can I flash everything from the phone or do I have to use my pc for this?

EDIT : How do I check the MD5SUM?
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
No you don't to flash a new radio. As for md5 just download any md5 checker, they all work the same.
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
no

before reboot install cm7 again
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
Well I know this ain´t a bug-report forum or place for feature requests and I really like this rom, but here it comes anyway:

I really miss the search functionality in my exchange inbox. I never realized how depending I was on this feature on the stock sense rom until I rooted to this.

So now it´s said. Hope somenone heard it :-) !

But once again: great work on this rom!
[Desire Android Development] technologylover:
Ok, I found it anyway but thanks for answering (and for your great work) :D
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
I came across several times and didn't even realise it was what I was looking for...:o

Thank you again!
[Desire Android Development] ed.dark:
you can get around this by hard flashing cw 3 and using fake flash (an update.zip) to run cw 2.5.0.7 when required. You then have two versions of cw on the phone!
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Thanx i had read about fake flash but had never used it saves me a lot of messing around :D
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
I totally missed, that the Bravo CM7 Table got released. Going to flash this now...
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
So I want to flash my CM7 HBOOT.

I'm flashing it with Fastboot Commander. Do I reboot to recovery to flash CM7 and do I wipe before I flash CM7 after the HBOOT?
[Desire Android Development] danbrown162:
Quick question, why is cm7 so much faster/smoother on the n1 in comparison to the desire. Afterall, the internals are almost identical?

I ask this because my brothers n1 feels "smoother" with a similar setup to my desire. Also I can see on YouTube other n1s are silky smooth where as desires have a slight 'stutter'...

I put it down to the graphics driver but arnt n1s the same?
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Can you give us an example video?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Don't know what stutter you're talking about. Mine looks the same as youtube vids

This is the first time i use a cyanogen rom.

How it looks like with app2sd? i mean the oldschool method with an ext-partition.

my apps need something about 400mb, what are my options?

i used a data2ext script, this works fine, but if i update i got some errors. so my phone doesnt lock if the screen is off, my homekey doesnt work...
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Theres apps2sd (posted on first post) but anything works.

Try wiping cache and dalvik-cache to see if you still have problems
[Desire Android Development] Se7enair:
ah and if i flash the app2sd and update it, must i flash the app2sd again?

and in cyanogen7 i have to flash the universal gapps, but i cant download gmail and maps...
[Desire Android Development] bbk:
Why ???

Change partition table size 130/5/302 (system/cache/size)

Why not : 140/10/... ?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
only issue I have of the cm7 hboot is having to reflash desire hboot if I decide to go back to Sense. I think I will stick to custom mtd unless CM7 RC requires the hboot.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Is anyone else's ChromeToPhone broken?

Mine isn't working in B#23... would also explain why C2DM push (Trillian) is dead...

-edit- Clearing Chrome2Phone Data seems to have done the trick. Maybe the same will help for Trillian...
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
@bbk

Presumably as the CM7 Alpharev is system 130 then it will never need more than 130Mb so why waste space and apparently 5Mb cache is fine,again why waste space you can use for apps
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
When I try to flash the hboot using the PB99IMG.ZIP I get a message saying CID incorrect. Does anyone know if the other methods will overcome this?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Use the method with the .img file
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
Guess I'll have to switch the computer on :mad:

Has anyone got the OTA App install from the new market site working on CM7?

https://market.android.com/

For me it says

But nothing happens after that. Chrome to Phone works btw.
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
Android web market works for me the problem i am having is that the market (on the phone) is not recognizing any of my installed apps... I have no idea why.... They are installed but not listed in the market
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
I installed Gun Bros from the new web market and it shows up as installed in the "old" marked.

Maybe there are still issues for some people.
[Desire Android Development] Se7enair:
Can anyone help me, cant install Google Mail.

Comming from MIUI, I flashed CM7 Hboot then wipe everything and flash build23... I did it 3 times and the 3 times it ends up on the screen (why so serious?) and never go further... WHY?!! I kinda lose my nervs
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
You need to install the new Recovery. Link at bottom of post #2. After that, use it to format your 4 partitions (boot, system, data and cache) and install away.
[Desire Android Development] syla:
OK, thanks lol, will do it tomorrow I think I'm too pissed off right now :D
[Desire Android Development] Se7enair:
ok I just extracted the apks I need and install it, now i have to test the updating of maps.

so now please tell me which radio and kernel u use and then im satisfied and can go to sleep^^
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Radio

Use the standard kernel in the rom ;)
[Desire Android Development] Se7enair:
Yeah, ever 5.x works, but which works best, or which do you use?

and kernel and want to know which kernel do use, cause of oc ;)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I use 32.54.00.32U 5.14.05.17 which one would work the best on your network :confused: who knows

If you go to CM settings performance you can OC the stock kernel from there;)

Radio imagefiles

http://down.lud3r.de/index.php?dir=Desire/Radio-Images/
[Desire Android Development] Se7enair:
ah i didnt see the oc settings, but there is anything on board, it seems to be a very good rom.

thx for your patience ;)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
It's called "CPU settings" it's in the latest cm_bravo_full-23.zip
[Desire Android Development] stingerpl:
What is the hold-up with the custom HBOOT guys?

Nevermind, thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
You still might find 305 mb too small for dalvik, data and apps. For sure it's bigger, but it's not enough for everyone.

edit: there is no hold up. Just go to alpharev.nl and download...

Swyped with HTC Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] F0rever:
before I see your instruction I follow the instruction of ief but I failed.

the phone stuck at first splash.

I wipe all and re-install the cm7 build23.

everything works good now.

thanks a lot.
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Hi, I have flash cm7, but I took it off straight away, could some one help me please. I don't understand, what are nighties, and how come now ones come every day? Is it just me or does cm7 make the desire get hot very fast? And what are the risks of cm7 nighties? Does any one know roughly how long a rc1 of cm7 is from being released? Please could someone help me? :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Read the first post nightlys are a work in progress new code is added daily and the test (nightly) build is compiled, and no can give an eta for a RC

If your phone is hot then probably some rogue app running all the time it's not the roms fault.Risks well somethings might not work
[Desire Android Development] kszxcvbnm:
cm7 hboot is very nice faster i think :D
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
i really cant play mp4 hd videos i downloaded from youtube using tubemate.

when i use players from the market the audio/video is out of sync too. please help
[Desire Android Development] torwag:
Maybe a bit thread-hijacking

anyhwho... I try to build cyanogen from source using Arch Linux as host system. I tried to follow the How-To in the wiki but something went wrong with libc-stuff.

Guess its some wrong lib-stuff. Is there someone who build cyanogen on Arch and might like to share his set-up, or someone who might know what is going wrong?

Guess this is the relevant part of the error-log:

...

*** glibc detected *** make: free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0000000008d33290 ***

======= Backtrace: =========

/lib/libc.so.6(+0x71c66)[0x7fbe51332c66]

/lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x6c)[0x7fbe51337a3c]

...

Is it right it is looking in /lib/ for the glibc-library ??

Any help welcome!!

I installed CM7 #23 last night and I was super impressed with the speed. This morning I populated all my icons back to ADW Launcher EX. Everything kept smooth until suddenly the page flipping just became SO slow and staggered that is seems on the verge of freezing.

Is there a specific ADW EX bug/setting that causes this?
[Desire Android Development] stingerpl:
Do you have apps2sd? For me this problem ended when I disabled apps2sd on the new HBOOT.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
OK then, just watched the Honeycomb presentation from yesterday - how about we skip CM7 stables and start on CM8 Honeycomb-for-Smartphone ;). Hell, I wouldn't even need any modifications - that UI looks like it would work just fine on a small screen :)
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I'm not on apps2sd anymore... With all my apps installed i have 130MB free space still internal..

Could it maybe Desktop Visualizer? I had such a smooth experience on CM6...
[Desire Android Development] 69mws:
Regarding cm7 hboot:

Maybe I have a lack of understanding here, but what's the point of restoring system & data, when CM7 has to be installed again afterwards? Won't reinstalling overwrite /system again?
[Desire Android Development] daveaus:
Hi,

I love this ROM, it seems by far the best available for the desire at the moment. I do have one problem.

Bluetooth has always been very troublesome with my Pioneer car head unit. On other ROMS it won't auto connect, I need to either turn Bluetooth off / on or go to Bluetooth settings and click on the pioneer connection.

This ROM works the same however I also need to put in the pin (0000) for every connection. So if I do it via turning bluetooth off & on (which I automate with Tasker) I get a Bluetooth pairing request and need to do the pin each time. Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] blastik:

I installed #23 yesterday and i'm very impressed ! I love the new gingerbread keyboard as I don't make so many typos. What I miss quite a lot is the % on the battery icon... :mad:

[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I believe it would, but it wouldn't overwrite data. So you'll have all your original settings, including google apps. Less time consuming probably than installing everything (all your apps and such) again...
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I've just realised that my sluggishness on my desktop increases as i increase the number of Desktop Visualiser widget-icons. Could this be due to cache filling up for the icons to be stored?

[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
What a pity...

I really liked my desktop with all the hard work I put in, designing the icons...

I suspect the lack of a 40MB cache is the root of this problem. On CM6 it worked flawlessly. Will have to investigate other partitions sizes for this to work

:(
[Desire Android Development] bbk:
Yes but GV (GingerVillain) need more than 135Mo :(
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Delete some unwanted apk from GV rom zip file before flash it.
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
many people use CM7 hboot here? cuz i'm still sticking with n1table and firerat a2sd script. dont wanna have too small cache space.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I remove these apk's from CM7, 18Mb of stuff i don't use so why keep it;)

If you can't make GV less than 130Mb you could use a custom MTD partition
[Desire Android Development] mieshco:
I'm using CM7 hboot right now and I must say 300mb for apps is just fine even without installing app2sd script or data2whatever or anything else. And the ROM itself is lighting quick;)
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
Nah, the cache partition doesn't actually handle the application caches, not even on stock AOSP. It' only used for OTA updates and a download cache AFAIK. On CM, if /cache is big enough, the dalvik cache of system apps gets move there. /cache is not used for memory swap space or anything like that.

Pretty sure your launcher itself or some combination of widgets is causing the jerkiness, not the ROM, and most definitely not small cache.

I don't understand why people are so damn suspicious of CM7 HBOOT :confused: You don't even have to use it and CM7 will adapt to use the partiton layout most efficiently - it's been designed and tested by clever people who know this OS very well.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Anyone seen any themes, which use the cm/t-mobile theme engine yet? I always disliked the themes, which depended on a special build and loved the idea of a universal theme engine.

Yet I don't find any themes using it yet.

It does seem to be sadly a fairly persistent human trait

"NEW! oh i don't like the sound of that"

I find the phone more responsive with the system theme, any ideas why that is? If i use androidian or cyanbread, launcher pro becomes slower, with system it's lightning fast.
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Taking into consideration that Desktop visualizer sets up a stretchable widget for each custom icon i lay down on the desktop, lotsa icons=lotsa widget=slow performance. Is there any other similar app out there that can deliver the same visual effect without the performance drain?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Interesting, I noticed that too but thought it was a fluke...
[Desire Android Development] :
The only new theme I've found for the new theme engine was RedBread. Search it in the market.

As far as I've seen, there isn't much info on how to make themes for this new theme engine and for that reason people making the themes the old way don't port their themes.

Mike
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
lol, you're right about that.

But still, it is quite logical that a lot of people are a bit suspicious. I for one have always read stories about how cache size may affect performance, whether it be in gaming experience or just normal performance. So what actually happens with cache? I searched for this but just couldn't find the answer. And i didn't get any wiser from the commits. How does CM make it possible to just have a 10mb large cache partition?? And why doesn't it affect performance? Sorry if these are noob questions, I just can't find the answer...

Anyway, still on build #17 and it feels like a stable release. Fast, battery friendly and amazingly smooth. It actually kept me from updating these past few days, although with this new hboot table (when I fully understand how the cache thing works), I'm gonna move to a more recent build soon :)
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
rom is very smooth w/ cm7 hboot.

i still cannot play high res mp4 videos though. is this normal in aosp? when i was using leedroid i can play high res mp4 videos i downloaded from youtube using tubemate.
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Btw, now that there are CPU scaling thingies built into CM7, how do I disable it to I can still use my SetCPU with my set profiles? Don't these two conflict with each other or will i be able to set "screen-off" profiles as well in the near future with CM7?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Untick Set on boot

The min CPU frequency default is 245Mhz so if screen is off this should be the CPU speed

What size resolution mp4's are you downloading?

Interesting the standard player wont play a Tubemate HD vid at 1280x 720 which is basically too big for the desire screen but Rockplayer can cope with that res
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
@ziggy1001 1024x768 ithink. in tubemate theres an option for high res devices. i can play d files in leedroid but not in cm7
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
myt be too big for desire but how come sense roms can play it? anyway il still stick w/ cm7. jst wndring
[Desire Android Development] s7uart:
I just want to say that this CN7 rom rocks! And is the dogs danglies. So a big thank you to Kali and everyone else involved!

It's the first time I've used a CN rom, my Desire has never felt so smooth! I've tried LeeDroid & MIUI custom rom's previously to this, but this just feels much better.

Now if I only I can my head around this fastboot stuff, I just can't get it to work on my computer at work : (

I want to flash the latest alpharev HBOOT for this rom. Can it be done any other way?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
@ring_GT

Weird can't explain it, i had assumed that size would just be too big for the screen but on mine Rockplayer can display those sizes!

Maybe try Rockplayer

Thinking about it i know the dev's are waiting for OTA updates to get certain things working properly on GB so maybe those "old" roms have all the bits but these are still missing for CM7
[Desire Android Development] junkiepilot:
S-OFF sorted it! Bravo CM7 HBOOT is sweet.....finally I have space.
[Desire Android Development] junkiepilot:
Are you S-OFF already?

EDIT: Yes you are according to your sig.

You can flash the HBOOT without a PC, download this http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_bravo_cm7.zip rename it to P899IMG.zip. Copy it to the root of you SD Card. Reboot with Volume Down into HBOOT, you will be asked if you want to install the update.

Nandroid first though, and restore afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
No, you definitely need fastboot...

-edit- but you'll need to be S-off as junkiepilot asked: check this thread how to become S-off and how to flash using fastboot...
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I used an app last night called Fastboot Commander. I think there is a link to it in earlier posts. It worked like a charm!!!
