Hmmm... looks like "qemu.sf.lcd_density" param overrides "ro.sf.lcd_densit", at least on CM7#13. Any suggestion both get a bigger keyboard and having a different LCD density value?

Thx
[Desire HD Android Development] brodos123:
No cell connection on #13:confused:

Edit: I have cell connection, but no data connection.

I have checked all settings and cant find anything wrong.

This is the first time this have happened and I have flashed many roms and came from #11

Edit 2: Flashed again and got it connected. For some reason I had to activate my provider settings manually, witch I never had to before.
[Desire HD Android Development] MrAdamH:
Thanks a lot for this ROM.

Been wanting to try gingerbread on the desire HD, but hate all the bloat on CM..

EDIT: Do you recommend using any radio image with this ROM?

I've had problems sending sms messages recently..
[Desire HD Android Development] espressofrap:
If its not too much to ask, do u have the link to download the 26.06 radio version? Tnx a lot.
[Desire HD Android Development] dashrink:
No problem mate.

Maybe some good developers have found a way to modify the apk to work on non-sense roms. Thats a possibility.

You can try to search the market for a free camera app. Maybe theres one that has the wide option??

Good luck anyways!
[Desire HD Android Development] dashrink:
I can see that the display is only at 2%. Have you even used the phone??

My display is like 35%!!!

Thats a huge difference.

The only reason for me leaving this great rom, is the big standby drain.

My drain was typically between 11 & 15 mA with cm7, but only between 1&4 mA with leedroid 1.4.1.

This is my experience...

Oh im on the 26.06 radio atm btw
[Desire HD Android Development] chibudo:
ok...................
[Desire HD Android Development] dashrink:
Hey McDV....

Can u put in the smartass governor as default in this rom.

This could on the battery drain maybe...

Thanx for the clean rom btw!

Keep up the good work.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Very interesting, now I know, why in the beginning we had the issue, that some of us had the new market and some didn't.

Cyanogen has added a script /system/lib/backup.sh, which backs up all the GoogleApps before flashing, then flashs the ROM (normally without GApps) and finally inserts the GApps again. So some people got their old GApps back.

Cyanogen chooses this way, because he had trouble with Google who don't want him to include GApps into his ROMs. So he has developed this way to preserve the original GApps, that are on the device.

He doesn't offer GApps himself as far as I can see - he only gives links to packages.

Anyway, now that I know this I have to think about not offering this ROM anymore, because I don't want to get into trouble with Google...

Tried once again to flash the recommended radio.img 26.04.02.17 for CM7, but fastboot failed again - I dont think my phone i ENG S-OFF, when reboot phone into bootloader it says:

ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.0007

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.03.02.15_M3

eMMC-boot

Oct 11 2010,12:47:02

Anyone know if it is possible to eng s-off using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403, it says original kernel under system requirements?
[Desire HD Android Development] db77:
You have to do this step in DOS mode, your device in FASTBOOT mode and connected by USB to your PC.

You type : fastboot flash radio radio.img

And : fastboot reboot

PS : Sorry for my bad english, I'm french

Edit : I have used "Easy Radio tool v2_2" to do Radio S-Off ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] vinnieminnie:
I'm pretty sure Google won't bother with this rom. CyanogenMod is used by way more people, so Google noticed them. This mod is "just" a modification, so I don't think they'll go through the trouble. And if they would go through the trouble, I'm pretty sure you guys can work something out, when they come for you.
[Desire HD Android Development] Malstrond:
They already did

. The only reason they stepped back was because Cyanogen agreed to not distribute the GApps himself.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Cyanogen has integrated this backup-script into his ROM, that keeps the installed GApps even when updating your ROM. I think I will choose that way, too. People will have to use CWM 3.x, but then it will be no big deal I think.
[Desire HD Android Development] vinnieminnie:
I realise they went after Cyanogen, but I doubt they'll bother to write a cease-and-desist letter to McDV.

Can I flash this Rom using cwm 2.x.x.x
[Desire HD Android Development] nehru:
Read the first post dude...........
[Desire HD Android Development] Aamir.Badat:
My bad I missed that part completely
[Desire HD Android Development] Aamir.Badat:
is there anyway of getting the htc camera app to work with this rom i tried installing rosie.apk with the htcamera.apk but i keep getting fc's :(

please help
[Desire HD Android Development] nehru:
It has been asked a lot, but the htc camera seems to be dependant on the htc framework so thats a no-go...

There are a lot of alternatives in the market tho...
[Desire HD Android Development] Aamir.Badat:
could you suggest me the apps which are the next best thing to HTC Camera please
[Desire HD Android Development] Merott:
I've always had blurry images with the HTC Camera, but the stock Android camera shows no signs of blur, which makes me very happy!

I think it depends on personal preferences and it's not easy to recommend camera apps to others, but you may want to give these a try: Camera 360 and Vignette
[Desire HD Android Development] lynxboy:
It is possible to merge the HTC Framework with AOSP ROMs, but it takes alot more than installing Rosie.apk!! You will have to find a Dev willing to work on it for you or start learning some Java! ;) Search for Enomthers Official Nexus ROM to see what I mean.

Regards.
[Desire HD Android Development] Aamir.Badat:
Well you can just give me the names of the camera apps that are out there and I will test them.
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
No, your phone does not have eng s-off, therefore flashing a new radio version would fail.

Just make sure you fully understand the steps correctly before attempting to eng s-off. I think eng s-off is far more riskier than radio s-off. Everything should work if all is well on your side. Good Luck!!
[Desire HD Android Development] Danvad:
Thanks for the answer, tried last night, but it failed again ... ;-)

The Eng-S off program says something about wrong kernel. Then I made a Wipe and factory reset, flashed MoDaCo's modified 1.32 stock rom, but then I get stuck with the white HTC screen ...

I have now flached it back to CM7#13 ... will try again later ...
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Released new version with important changes! Please have a look at post #1 and read all the hints!
[Desire HD Android Development] eadon:
Many thanks for your efforts. I'm not even tempted to use other roms.

I do have a problem with wifi reception at home, and have been thinking about flashing a new radio, however it looks a bit daunting!

Have you considered building the latest radios into your roms? Perhaps as an option.

Many thanks

in advance.
[Desire HD Android Development] braveBuddy:
Guys i have a Q please forgive me if its already discussed.

Why does the CM FM Radio app turns on the Bluetooth why is it required?
[Desire HD Android Development] hrkfdn:
because the FM receiver will only work if bluetooth is turned on..
[Desire HD Android Development] braveBuddy:
thats what i would like to know why because the stock FM radio app doesnt requires it.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Flashing radio via fastboot is safer, I think I will write some little guides for several things soon.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
[GUIDE] How to flash CWM 3.0.0.5 and new radio?

Here is a litte guide for using fastboot:

First of all you need the newest Android-SDK. You get this here

After installation (or extracting for Mac/Linux) copy fastboot into the "tools"-folder. You get this here

Your phone needs Engineering HBoot, have a look here

Now download CMW 3.0.0.5 into your tools-folder.

Now reboot your phone into the Bootloader, plug in USB and on your PC switch to Terminal/Command. Change into the tools-folder.

In terminal type:

fastboot-mac flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img

and press enter.

(If your using windows it's just fastboot and on linux it's fastboot-linux.

You can flash a radio by copying a radio.img into the tools-folder and type

fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img

Good luck! :)

[Desire HD Android Development] geek78:
The backuptool.sh is waiting for the cyanogen build.prop
[Desire HD Android Development] MrYuiM:
No G-Apps so I'm on PNK22 for the moment. If you want the GApps and have time, add them to the zip
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
No, I've forced it to backup and restore and it works, but it will only work with CWM 3.x! That's why you should read my first post. ;) If you use CWM 3.x it will work. I've tested upgrading from #13 to #15 several times without problems!

If you don't want to use CWM 3.0.0.5 (which works quite well in my opinion), you probably should do that. I'm a student of laws (in Germany) and I'm sorry I will not harm anyone's rights, especially not Google's. ;) This can be VERY expensive in Germany!
[Desire HD Android Development] MrYuiM:
Its cool. I've been jumping between recoveries since for some reason I can't restore backups in cwm 3 but I can in 2. In 3 it says can't format boot. Anyways, I was able to mount system in cwm 2 and I'm cwm 3 atm after flashing build 15 with cwm 2 and 3, but ill add the apps myself so its no worry :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Sentenza1591:
Hi,

If I want to add GApps to the zip file, do I just have to add the corresponding APK's in the /system/app folder? Nothing else?

Could anyone give the list of all GApps APK's, so that I don't forget one?...
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
It's very easy: Since my ROM is built to be used with GApps, I have alredy removed everything that needs to be removed for using GApps. So you just need to download GApps from Cyanogen, extract both ZIPs, and copy everything contained in the SYSTEM-folder of the GApps to the corresponding folder in the ROM. Rezip it and flash it - done. :)

Kernel

Hello,

I tried to search the forums and also by google but could not get an answer to my question:

Is the kernel supplied with CM7 undervolted by standard or should I concider for example Apache's kernel if I want to get the max juice out of my battery? I'm not running OCd as I don't find it necessary.

I already managed to update my radio to 26.04.02.17 and it seemed to improve the battery life quite a bit.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
I don't know, I think it isn't, othetwise you would find something. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Pume:
Could anyone confirm and also if people have a good recommendation of a kernel to use with CM7?

Hey,

I love the modified gingerbread roms but i have some problems,

I can't open the 'sound' settings menu, it's says that proces com.android.settings has stopped. Now i can't change my notification sounds.

At the moment i don't get any notification sound and i can't get called. When people want to call me they get some beebs but nothing appears on my screen.

I just updated to the newest 27-januari build but the problems are still present :(

Tried installing #15 using cwm3005. Wiped everything except system as per the instructions in post #1 and everything went fine. Gapps are all restored. At first i was hesitant to install cwm3 because they say its not yet stable. But finally i did and never had any problems so far. I havent tried rom backup and restore though.

Thanks McDV for a good rom!
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
You probably didn't wipe correctly. It works, not only for me, but also for many others who use it. So there is no bug. :)

Don't know what you mean. Maybe your Cyanogen-settings are wrong? It works.

Thank you, if all the people would read post #1 like you did, they probably wouldn't have all the problems. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Lucas0511:
First DHD custom ROM I am using, and very happy with it. Issue with Wifi unavailable after first boot pushed my blood pressure, but you address it in the FAQ and it works after 2nd boot. After configuring Google Account all G-Apps were offered to be installed, so no issue for peeps working with that cloud. All in all a fine ROM, thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] Overloaded:
Got the same problem,

My home and search button don't work.

You can press them, they will vibrate but nothing will happen. Nothing opens, just nothing :P

I checked all my settings, i have enabled some stuff but it won't work.

What is the correct way to whipe? I got this 'FULL-WIPE-1.3' thing from somewere. They said this wipes everything and you should use it before you flash a new rom. I'm using cwm version 3 btw ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] vtec303:
I have problems with restoring backups. The new recovery can do a backup but when it comes to restoring the same backup it just can't do it and gives different errors. It was suggested to do a system format before doing a restore but it still can't restore. I am thinking to revert back. The rom manager does not supports the new recovery 3005. I hope things work out better for you.
[Desire HD Android Development] Nikola P.:
You realy expect us to read all the instructions before trying something and moaning about problems? You mad? :)

CWM 3 installed, flashed #15, everything works. BTW, where to download Nexus S boot animation? Found it.
[Desire HD Android Development] espressofrap:
In that case backups are useless then if they cannot be restored. Thanks for noting that restore issue. Anyway, good thing i never needed to restore any backups coz ive always been getting a better rom everytime.

Also just wanna say that yes, its always better to read "post 1" before proceeding. It will save u from unforeseen issues later down the road. :D

[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Here you go! ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] alain57:
i really don't get it

1: the apps are free and most of them are always preinstalled on the stock version of the device

2: i never heard that google sue someone because he included gapps

3: installing gapps by default, will only increase google's success, whereas having phone with no gmail, no market, no google maps ... well make your phone less like an old nokia device and no more a smartphone

but well, it's your choice
[Desire HD Android Development] maddler:
1) No, Gapps are not free or open source. Only approved devices/ROMS can bundle Gapps. E.g., you won't find Gapps on Archos' tablets

2) They actually did, a close example is Cyanogenmod. That's why Gapps aren't availabe in the ROM and you have to download and install as an addon.

3) You should actually explain that to Google's people. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Meannekes:
somethings wriong with the latest build from you

cant install the .zip ...

recovery says something with "bad" ...

and could someone explain how to get market etc on this build, (i did a full wipe because i had some issues)

sry for my bad english
[Desire HD Android Development] matixuk:
Download Gapps from there http://dl.123rom.mobi/htcdesire/crackflasher/gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip and install from recovery , after U have Market and other Google apps. For Me working fine with build #17

P.s. I use CWM 3

Great Job McDV Respect
[Desire HD Android Development] shotgunzo:
That's exactly what's wrong.. Have the same problem... did a thorough wipe using Full Wipe 1.3 using cwm 3.. Haven't had the same problems with other builds..
[Desire HD Android Development] kebong:
awesome! thanks man!

also, is it possible to change the smiley button in the messaging app to a return/enter button without having to use a third party app (such as handcent)?
[Desire HD Android Development] alain57:
oh really ???

gapps is only a package containing all google apps and some other apps like facebook, and ALL these apps are on the market fro FREE

i'm not sure about that, i always through that they did not include it because it is not open source...

a little like debian, you can install some stuff after, but debian will never include non open source elements

i think they know it

they release ASOP, so people can build custom firmware

so i don't think that they'll sue someone because he include apk available for free on the market

other custom firmware constains estrong file manager or astro file manage, or even other apks like rom manager
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Really strange, how can it be that you got this issue, while others, who did a full-wipe, too, don't have any problems? Is there a difference in the hardware? The software is absolutely identical after a fresh flash...

Please perform a full-wipe again and don't enter your Google-Data after flashing to ensure there is no app automatically installed, that could cause trouble.

And of course you need to have GApps installed in order to make the search-button work (this is because I have already removed the non-google-QuickSearch.apk. Otherwise there would be 2 ones in the ROM and that shouldn't be. (You often find ROMs with included GApps that still have Provision.apk and QuickSearchBox.apk installed - that's not the way it should be. phunkycow had this, at least in PNK12, and it caused some issues.)
[Desire HD Android Development] matixuk:
Reboot phone to recovery mode:

1. Choice - mounts and storage

- format boot

- format system

- format data

- format cache

Go back

2. Choice - advanced

- wipe dalvik cache

- wipe battery state

Go back

3. Wipe data/factory reset

4. Wipe cache partition

5. Install zip from SD card

- install your choice Rom

- install gapps

Working perfectly all the times for Me
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
As you say yourself, they are not open source. This means that Google has the copyright and that finally means they are free do decide in which way they want to share their apps or not. If they provide them for free on their market, they can delete them from all the devices whenever they want. Anyway, they sell their apps to manufacturers like HTC, even if they will get your data if you're using their apps.

Ok, you really don't get it. ;) Android itself is Oen Source and available via AOSP, right. But GApps are not part of Android and not availably via AOSP. Those APKs are not even available for free on the internet - people just share them illegally on the internet! That's a big difference, but Google can't stop that. ;) In some areas of the world you just won't be blamed to harming someone's copyright. But in the EU you can be. As I am German, I can only provide the ROM which is Open Source and you need to get GApps from somewhere, where no one cares about the copyright or just preserve the apps on your device using CWM 3.0.0.5. ;) Remember: Copyright doesn't only mean the right do decide if you want to charge for usage. It also means the right to decide who may use it and which way!

Right, and probably the developers have nothing against it. But since year 2009 we finally know that Google simply doesn't want it.
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Maybe "bad signature"? Then toggle signature-verification in CWM. Otherwise your zip has been damaged during downloading - then reload it.
[Desire HD Android Development] MrYuiM:
Eh I gotta little problem. I did a full wipe and everything in CWM 3, then used the fullwipe.zip, and wiped everything I could think of that may need wiping. I installed Gapps from the CyanogenMod thread, but the market just isn't working :( Keeps force closing at T&C. Anything I could do? I've fixed permission, wiped dalvik cache and cache

Nevermind. Wipd with CWM 2 and installed with CWM 3 :)

I really need help (Bricked?)

Hi, I have tried to install CMW 3.0.0.5, which I am not sure succeeded in. I then flashed cm 7 #20, but could not install gapps, so I formatted the system as per instructions in first post and now, I cannot get past the HTC boot screen.

How can I boot into recovery? I have tried powering up pressing "power & back buttons", but only get the white boot screen.
[Desire HD Android Development] MrYuiM:
Mate, formatting system deletes your rom... You format system then re-install the rom, if you still don't have GApps, then you have to add them manually to your phone. As far as you're concerned, plug your phone into the charger, pull the battery out, stick it back in and you'll be in recovery, then install the rom. If you have no GApps, then download them and install that package as well.
[Desire HD Android Development] Danvad:
CMW 3.0.0.5 has orange text CMW 2.5.1.3 has green, to reboot into Recovery 3.0.0.5 pres and hold power button, choose recovery, when it is in recovery you can see the version in top of the screen - if you go into CMW 2.5.1.3 use Rom Manager ...

Hope you will succeed ...

I'm sorry there is a second release today - it's #20a now!

It's identical to #20 except that I have found a working libmedia.so to fix that Navigon-issue! So with #20a now Navigon will do it's job again! :) If you don't use Navigon, you have no need to flash that update. ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] docjb:
A Warning to everyone: It seems the "Stay awake" option now affects battery mode aswell, atleast it does for me. Even when the display is off the DHD remains in active mode and draws a lot more power.

[Desire HD Android Development] uTomi:
This is the best ROM ever. Thx mate!
[Desire HD Android Development] McDV:
Hi,

I nearly gave up hope to get Navigon working on release 21, but finally I found the trick. ;)

Again, after replacing libmedia.so the DHD kept stuck at the bootscreen. Obviously Cyanogen has changed something with the media-framework again. Replacing not only libmedia.so, but also libmedia_jni.so with that one from ROM #20 finally worked! :)

I hope there will result no other issues - this depends on what ever Cyanogen has changed. If you should find issues that may relate to this please report!

I will release #21 later this afternoon!
[Desire HD Android Development] nehru:
Yay even Navigon now works like a charm, thanks dude!
