oh i see... well i'll try again then, yesterday all apps were installing in my internal memory and i finished it, maybe i've to set something in the CM Settings.

EDIT: nwm i forgot to read second post.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I,m in the same boat a lot of the changelog data is incomprehensible to me as i have no real knowledge of WTF they are talking about.Sadly unless you do a lot of learning that won't change. I think it's a bit too much to expect anyone to provide an "Idiots guide" to all the changes i guess work on the code itself is far more important. About the only simply guide i have found is this

http://nightly.posterous.com/

Big pictures non technical language:)

Bear in mind it's not official and

"The builds I use are for the Nexus One (passion) device only. I don't know if other changes are made to builds for other devices."
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Have you tried the Manage applications menu option to move apps that don't need to start on boot or have widgets to the sd card you need allow application moving ticked in CM settings

Install location is in that menu as well

Would it be possible to make the CRT screen-off animation independent of other animation settings in CMParts? Is it possible to toggle it independently in some settings database? I adore the CRT but other animations just get in the way and make everything feel sluggish IMO.

Hi,

I'm considering to try the latest nightlies, and I have two questions. Do the latest builds suffer from random boot loops as is the case with Oxygen? I saw someone experienced this with build number five, but not since?

Are anyone experiencing problems with the transition from Wi-Fi to edge/3G data?

These are the two major gripes have with oxygen for now, so if these are fixed I think I will try this on.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] killall:
Hi there, I've been using the nightlies since they started and I have never had a bootloop also I have not had problems with the transition from Wi-Fi to edge/3G data.
[Desire Android Development] ghmail2:
no reboot issue for me
[Desire Android Development] junkiepilot:


Try it. You won't go back to oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
A nightly build is by it's nature not a stable everything works rom you should think of it more as an experimental work in progress that will eventually become RC then a stable build

I have none of the bugs that you ask about but if you read all of this thread you see lots of random uncommon bugs that a minority of people suffer from

If you want stable then you shouldn't even be trying any GB rom

Only way to find out is to try it ;)

After trying lots of alternatives to CM i more or less ignore them now and wouldn't touch them with a bargepole :cool:
[Desire Android Development] ceno666:
After trying much roms in the past i think CM7 is the one i will use in the next time, it looks really good.

Now i have a 8 GB sdcard (Class 6) and it seems that after a reboot it take longer until the "preparing sd card" is finished and in general the time until all runs smooth after rebooting takes longer than with my class 2 4 GB card.

Is this normal? Any idea why this could happen?

What do you think about DATA2SD? Is it really a performance boost (with a Class 6 card) ?
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Do you have to create a partition on your sd card for this to work, and do apps run just as fast of the sd card, as they do on internal memory please? Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] junkiepilot:
No. Just go to cm settings, application, and change default location to external.

Even better if your after more space for apps is to look into s-off and installing the custom hboot for cm7. Using this method I have 70 apps installed and still have 115meg free.

battery bug

cm7 nightly #24 i have found when the battery is low, theres the lock screen with pattern input ready and it says connect charger, but what is wrong is the percentage which it says (%%%%%%) it doenst display properly
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
I would bet nearly all those problems of the minority arrrrr gone when doing full wipe, clean install, not restoring apps and settings.

If it works for us all, there its no reason it shouldn't work for them (excluding very unlikely hardware problems)

Hi, when updating to a newer build, as I want to update every day, do you need to wipe everything first, like on a first time installation please?
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Hello all, just crossed over.

Had my nexus running this for a while, but been using Defrost based on CM6 as my choice.

The question I have is I use pattern lock screen, and I have a small size variation between first time I try pattern and second time the grid enlarges. But that's not the question. I used to be able to hide the dots on the lock screen, can I do this on cm7, so it looks like a completely blank screen?

Thank you for replies.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Well that depends are you some sort of masochist who likes wasting his time :p

Recovery flash reboot ;)
[Desire Android Development] belylal:
No need to wipe, just flash over it...
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Does the change default location move all the app over to the sd card? Also how do you turn s-off, and is it safe please? Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
No thats the default install location so after changing it in future apps will be installed on the sd card

Go to Cm settings....Application tick ✓ " Allow application moving"

Then go to Settings.....Applications...Manage applications

This will give menu for installed apps

Select an app and if suitable press move to SD card

Do not move apps to SD card if they start on boot or have widgets

You can free up loads of internal memory

i have cyanogen mod 7 build 25 indtalled and have seen no issues but just noticed theres a custom cm7 hboot. since im still s-on, my question is what r the benfits of using a custom cm7 hboot? does it make your phone run faster or something? any info would b great
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Faster NO

But

/system 130Mb so more space for data

/cache 5Mb even more space for data

/data 302Mb far more space for apps :D

Bravo N1Table wasn't tailor made for CM7 so had far less data space 197 Mb
[Desire Android Development] woahnelly:
Main advantage is you have a larger data partition for apps (302M). Compare the other sizes on the alpharev site for reference. Well worth it in my opinion. Only small (really small) downside I've actually experienced is the need to flash new radio's using adb.
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
so if i have app2sd up and running theres really no reason in setting up soff? the only thing that upsets me is root manger wont allow me to delete system files like google tslk which sucks but honestly, the amount of times ive seen the word brick or usb brick around the s-off procedure scares me. coming from a bricked sgs im extremely cautious of what i do before i do it.

also, after flsashing over build 18 with 25, i have a cache file in my gallery filled with pictures but when i open it, it \FCs. should i be formatting cache after flashing cm7?
[Desire Android Development] waltpinpin:
simple2ext tested with success

so my problem is resolved

all my apps and dalvik cache have been moved to the sdext

too easy...

(don't worry, the first reboot after installing it is very long but it works after a few minutes)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
@LINKSLOVESANDRO

Up to you but if you are happy with app2sd and have enough space, and are not confident about s-off then well doing any procedure that can potentially brick the phone is probably not a good idea. I never wipe to flash a nightly so no idea why gallery F/C's but can't hurt to wipe cache and dalvik
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
if i want to install sinpletoext, should i revert to stock before hand? i have legacy app2sd running and dont want the 2 to interfere with each other

how to change the phone number format?

my local phone number is 11 digits.

both in cm6 and cm7 it is shown as x-xxx-xxx-xxxx.

it's not convenient for general use.

in general, people would like the number to be shown as xxx-xxxx-xxxx or has no separator.

when I read the number I often use this format xxx-xxxx-xxxx.

it's convenient for me to read and remember.

how to change this format?

or removing the seperator is also ok.

[Desire Android Development] kuroneko007:
The light goes green once the battery is above 90% full, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's stopped charging.

Although once it reaches 100%, it discharges for a while before starting to charge again, so you will not always have a perfect 100% charge when you unplug the phone from the wall.
[Desire Android Development] F0rever:
I tried that but no effect.
[Desire Android Development] derfull:
This is normal.

HTC has implemented a protection for the battery, you can't charge the battery when you have more than 90% of charge.

This is to preserve the battery life.
[Desire Android Development] Rohaq:
Apologies if this has already been asked, but it appears that the 'Search this thread' feature is down.

I'm trying to get the App2SD solution attached to one of the first few posts to work, I've flashed the zip, but it doesn't seem to be showing the /sd-ext mounts required. This is what I get from df -h | grep /dev/block/mmcblk0p2:

# df -h | grep /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 2.9G 34.3M 2.8G 1% /sd-ext

I can't see any of the legacy methods of setting it up around (i.e. a2sd cachesd) etc. What am I missing?
[Desire Android Development] kuroneko007:
Try mounting your sd-ext partition in recovery first, then flash the zip again. Sometimes the script doesn't correctly mount sd-ext when it is installed.

[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Regardless what people wrote on the last pages, setting install location to external is not the a2sd we are talking about.

It is googles froyo a2sd implementation which had a couple off disadvantages. If you set up a2sd, change install location to internal, since you extend the INTERNAL storage with this.

hope this clears the misinformation of the last pages...

[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
even though you are bitty totally wrong, the battery should present 100% to the user, even if it's dangling between 100 and 110% internally. If it shows you 90% with green light, go for calibration. You will be surprised of the impact

[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
So, no problems with mms? It's really annoying me. I've manually entered in the APN info that works in leedroid and stock roms.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Please try:

- charge in cyanogenmod until green

- disconnect charger

- turn phone off

- connect charger until light green (might take a while)

- disconnect charger

- power phone on

- once rom is started, power off

- connect charger and wait for light to turn green

After that, your battery should perform much better and only turn green when full. This should not be gingerbread related. Repeat above steps every few month - depending on your usage.

[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I've posted this question before, but haven't received any answers. Moreover, I can't seem to find a clear answer searching with Google. So, there have been many questions concerning the 5 mb cache size in CM& hboot. Although I can understand how this won't affect downloads, I just don't understand why this wouldn't affect for instance gaming performance. It has been suggested that lags in Asphalt could be due to a small cache size. But, I've read replies here where people are saying cache size won't affect this. I just don't understand why the small cache size in CM7 hboot won't affect performance, while before it was suggested that it would.

Let it be clear that I know it has been developed by very smart and professional people, it's just that I'd like to know how they managed to do this. Furthermore, I'm not a real gamer, but I just want to make sure it doesn't affect performance at all. Thanks for any answers!

Mad-murdock, I do agree with the improved battery performance after recalibration, but the light on the Desire will still turn green after 90% (when powered on)...

Sound volume

Hi, I found bug in CM7 nightly build.

After disconnected BlueTooth audio my sound volume in Desire is set to loud. Sound is crackling and I'm afraid it can damage my speaker. All played audio events (notifications, alarm, ring tone) play too loud. After phone restart is everything ok.

I'm running nightly build #25.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
Well, I never read technical proof of games running smoother with bigger cache. Yet I experienced this issue myself. So it's not delusional.

I guess the reason for the cm7 table ignoring this is a) only few people play games often and b) those games still run... Just not fully smooth. So it's probably a good trade off

I would still be interested in other peoples experience on this. Perhaps I was making this up.

Infact I think we were talking about googles a2sd, which has been modified by CM to allow moving any app to the SD. So how could setting the install location to internal be useful in this case? If you are going to use this feature, you must choose external. i dont think anybody was talking about a2sd (ext) version.

Wipe battery stats is used for another - more complicated - way of calibrating. I did the mentioned way twice on my old desire. Wirks like described without further steps. Gave huge improvements for me plus correct charge to 100

Edit: see the mentioned method as a way to correct the values in the stats file. Deleting it after correcting it would be pretty weird, right?

Does your device still drain all the way to 1% before turning off after this procedure?
[Desire Android Development] JoeSixAtPack:
+1!

I´m using following workaround to bypass the problem automatically:

1. Installed Toggle2g

2. Installed Tasker

3. created profile in Tasker which triggers if WIFI is connected:

- Profile uses Toggle2g to switch my mobile to 2G

- "on Exit" - this profile uses Toogle2G to switch back to 3G/2G

So Tasker switches to 2G automatically as soon as any WIFI network is connected and if the WIFI connection is lost it switches back to 3G
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
No, it turned off at 15%, like it should to not damage the battery.

Background: I ignored my wrong battery stats. Like you I couldn't load to 100 or had a drop from 100 to around 90 in minutes. I didn't care, since I nearly always have a charger. But when the desire decided to power itself off at 25% (or seconds later 15%): this meant war!!!

After doing above steps, all problems were gone, plus my battery lasted much longer - which is no real surprise when the phone knows correct about it's capabilities.

Swyped with cyanogenmod 7 powered HTC Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Then your procedure breaks calibration. A normal, properly calibrated phone (or laptop or other battery powered device) turns off between 0 and 3%... the whole point of the battery gauge is to tell you when your device is going to turn off. Calibrated properly => Turns off as close to 0% as possible.

All your procedure is doing is making the phone think it has more charge than is actually available. And when you hit your 15%, the phone doesn't shut down properly - it just turns off because there's no more power left. Great way to kill your system if you use Data2SD or similar solutions...

If your phone is shutting down at 15%, I'd strongly recommend not using the procedure you posted.
