Ok thanks for that, I'll give that a go. :)

I'm sure I didn't have to do that with earlier versions of CM7 though. Previously when I was using Sense ROMs, I used to use the default HTC alarm. It's been a while since I used CM7 but I remember thinking that I didn't like the Android alarms, pretty sure there used to be an option in alarm settings that allowed you to select a song. Anyway I won't go on any more about it as it's getting a bit off topic, I just though it was weird how that option doesn't seem to be there any more. :confused: :)

Edit: @ deadcookie, Just tried your suggestion, didn't work. :( Might have to ask on the CyanogenMod forums..

2nd edit: For anyone who cares, I worked out how to do it. I have to set the song as a ringtone first, then deselect it (as I don't want it as my ringtone too lol), then went back into alarm settings and the song is now in the list of alarms for me to select. :) I'm sure I didn't have to do that before though.

When you put a mp3 in /sdcard/media/audio/alarms you need to restart your phone. Then it wil be selectable as alarmsound!

Battery Fix in #18 includet?
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
Check out this site for a great tool that constantly shows an up to date changelog.

I can't remember where I found it but my thanks go to the guy that put it together.

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=ace

Battery fix isn't there so I guess not.
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Alright then, I guess #18 is up
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Correct the battery fix is not included yet. If you just install the nightly and then you send this adb command:

adb shell aic3254pd status

You will get this:

aic3254pd: not found

If you then go back and install Mad's #5 battery patch and try the same command you should get this:

Power status of aic3254 chip: OFF

How come rom manager isn't showing updates since build 13?

Is it me, or is there no screen on animation? What's it supposed to be? I'd be very happy with the one used for the screen off.

[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
There is but its turned off by default. Go to CyanogenMod settings, Display, and you will see a tickbox for screen on animation.

Good luck!

[Desire HD Android Development] Hypercore:
Does anybody know how to flash overtop of eachother (upgrading) rather then flashing a whole new rom?

If so, how would you do it? Also, is there a performance degrade with upgrading roms?
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
I wasn't clear enough. I switched it on but it had no effect.

Edit: Don't worry I've worked it out, the screen on ani is considered a transition animation in 'spare parts' rather than a window animation like the off one (and when they're respectively set to fast as mine was the on/off doesn't show.) However after all that it doesn't work properly and I think it's got something to do with the lock screen conflicting with it..

Edit 2: after some more testing, I think it's just a rubbish animation. So it looks like it's faulty.

If you're just updating a rom you're currently running then go into cwm recovery, wipe dalvik cache (under advanced, this is rebuilt on boot) then just flash the updated file and reboot. All settings and data will be preserved. However, if you experience any issues a full wipe and reflash is recommended. Performance wise I don't notice a difference, however I've seen reports that after many upgrades a full wipe will make things faster.

I get no lockscreen with this Rom. Also home and search buttons stop working. Any ideas
[Desire HD Android Development] PoseyBAH:
Wipe and reinstall
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
These are all settings, search through the settings menus, inc the cm setting menus. If thus doesn't help , full wipe flash.

Also, home button binding is a setting in the launcher settings.

For those with a gps that doesn't work at all, set gps as on, open maps, press menu, open cache settings, delete tile cache.

Will not fix the once toggled off always off gps issue. my suggestion there is don't switch it off ;)

Swyped on transparent XDA app.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
problem with this idea ist, that it happens to switch off itself.

anyway, so far it seems (maybe i'm missing something) tbere are "only" two major problems: battery drain due to sound driver and gps. the first has a promising work in progress, the latter not yet.

well, cm7 is still in progress. rc2 is feature freez and time for debugging. so it is all as it should be.
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
It shouldn't, it'll stop looking for a fix if you aren't using an app that uses GPS but it stays on in the background
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
it happend to deactivate WHILE i had a program running that used gps. but this only happens rarely while trying to lock on. if it got the lock it remains.
[Desire HD Android Development] z0ltrix:
#19 is up.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I prefered the previous "smudgy" powerbar icons, for one thing they were bigger than the ones that came with nightly #18. For fun I modified #19 .zip file by replacing this entire directory with the one from #17.

cm_ace_full-19.zip\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi

Of course that's a pretty careless way to go about it since that directory contains other icons as well, but the changelog indicated that only the powerbar icons had changed.
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
I didn't prefer their 'smudginess,' but I did prefer their size. New ones just seem unnecessarily small.

smartass = cpu sleep policy = no better battery life = no speedup

guy u need to know what are u writing, just thinking about other kernel have more stuff = more speed is very wrong

i'm not writing about our kernel is better then other, just our kernel misses NOT USEFUL STUFF

and for me no speed improvment, no bug fix, no better battery life = NOT USEFUL
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
My experience of smartass (on a leedroid kernel) was very good. low battery usage with very minimal effects on performance. Essentially it increased the clock speed with demand very well, and dropped back off quickly too. But I've tested the ondemand gov for this kernel and it works very well, with the same qualities as leedroid's smartass gov. So +1 kali

Swyped on transparent XDA app.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
"guy" despite of you it seems i know better what i am writing.

1. smartass is NOT part of the official kernel update till (now) .32. if you know what you are talkign about i bet you could find the kernel changelogs yourself. the official kernel changelogs include several improvements and bugfixes, ofcourse not all helpfull for our android devices, but several especially regarding the cfs schedular.

2. smartass =/= cpu sleep policy. what you are writging is TOTALY wrong! smartass is a somewhat optimized version of the interactive governor available in cm7 kernel. the main benefit of smartass over interactive is that it is LESS aggressiv on increasing cpu freq which improves battery DURING USAGE!

for sleep you don't need smartass.

3. in several custom kernels they have added vddlevel interface to /proc to enable changing of frq voltages. as devices vary quite much this gives a user who knows what he is doing the possabiltiy to further undervolt its device and INCREASE again battery time

4. EDIT: i forgott to mention: my MAIN complain was not about smartass. in fact i'm not sure if i even mentioned it. i ASKED about the missing OFFICIAL updates to the kernel that are missing and contain several bugfixes and improvements! (i corrected the word complain as i didn't complained about it, i just asked)

it does.

that's the point: you simply igonre the speed improvement and teh better battery. but AGAIN the differences are not big.

edit: please don't say you are one of the cm7 kernel tweaker.... that would made me very sad nd scary after this post.
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
LOL, Kali is the official Kernel maintainer, so I suspect he might know a thing or two about the official Kernel.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i feared this. being official kernel mantainer and thinking of smartass being only a sleep policy is scary! and although not knowing about the official kernel updates to the 2.6.32 kernel, scares me further.

i didn't made anithing else about asking why they didn't updated the kernel to the latest official sources.

asking about some community improvements was only a second question. i made the observation that also because of some of the improvements made so far there are small performance and battery improvements. Edit: during MY tests i found that lees current kernel (2.2.5r2 was my last one) is the current most stable, fastest and with best battery usage of all i tested, including cm7 ones.

i repeat again befor again some guys lacking reading comprehension claim that i'm talking about BIG differences, that this are my test findings and they are not a big difference (except for the current known standby battery problem being fixed).

but simply ignoring this being too proud of the own work won'tget you far.

it would be enough to say, "i know of them, i got different results" or "i will check if the mentioned kernel" really has some improvements over ours. but this arogance that i saw in his post is contraproductive. my post just replied in the same manner.

edit: if that's the manner how someone gets replies when he just ask questions regarding possible improvements and drawbacks of currrent rom/kernel (trying to improve), i would say it is not a friendly community this rom has.
[Desire HD Android Development] igor.tonky:
actually, so far it's you who is not friendly with the community. allow me to illustrate with some facts, something that you, obviously, lack.

well, of course Kali- knows better, as he is the maintainer of bravo(c) and ace. you didn't do any kernel development, obviously.

what "kernel update" are you talking about? linux kernel? htc ace kernel? care to show the "smartass" governor there?

i guess you don't know, that it was erasmux, who introduced smartass governor to htc hero kernel builds last year, after which the governor spread around to other devices. yes, it's a tweaked version of interactive. no, it's not official, anywhere.

is it _proven_ to increase battery life over interactive to the point of being included into cm kernels? no. but maybe you can show us some data to back up your claims?

would you be so kind to point to the changelogs of the kernel features, that are missing in the cm ace kernel?

do you have some data to back up your claims, that smartass as a screen-on profile is actually increasing battery life and speed? because persuading developers to add a governor to a kernel would require something more, than you _feelings_.

you can just add them yourself, the kernel is on the github, you know, there's no need to force someone else to do some work for you.

you're not trying to improve anything. that would be sending patches.

you are just suggesting random unproven features, or making general claims like "lees current kernel is the current most stable, fastest and with best battery usage of all i tested" - this information does _not_help improving cm kernel, at all. you don't provide any data points, you don't provide patches. you do not add anything to improve the cm with this information.

well, you "asked" in a hostile, demanding manner, showing that you're not competent in kernel development, implying that you are more knowledgeable than people, doing this for the community for free.

this is laughable at best, insulting at worst, hence the reaction you got.

i can assure you Kali- knows what he is doing.

and while you are "asking" about "missing" "features", he is debugging the fm/dsp fix for ace, which _confirmedly_ increased standby battery life by 2-3 times.

so post with facts, or post with humble attitude, otherwise you will get what you deserve here.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
allow me to point out that you are misssing that this is NOT the post it started. i asked kindly when i then got from kali FIRST insulted by his claim i had no clue i am talking about, while he even wasn't able to read what i wrote!

but thx for your confirmation of my estimation that soon people will jump on me with lack of reading comprehension.

i couldn't prove my statements better than you just did -.-

edit: i NEVER persuaded any developer of implementing smartass! read the refering post before you start such claims! and btw. yes i have data to backup all my statements. but there is no interest in here for this cause they are all so selfconfident of there super dupa great kernel. i already had this in a different thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
dear user,

you express yourself here in a very inmature, unexperienced way.

you ignore the fact, that you screw around here with the people putting their free time into this community for months or years. your thoughts and ideas have a high chance of beeing considered before.

also, you ignore the fact, that in an international community not everyone has the same skill of the english language to cover long discussions in depth without problems in expression.

those things already put you to "new developer who may intent for good" at best, like igor's post also pointed out in more technical ways.

remember, you cannot compare htc sense based roms with aosp based roms. not from kernel, not from speed, not from anything. perhaps on a user's level from functionality - but thats it. too many differences make it impossible.

if you really intend to help and improve our rom, do it the right way. do tests yourself, discuss with the others on irc, get help with handling the frist-glance huge android project. if you do test - for example - the smartass govonor or the port all patches to latest kernel revision, dont think we will ignore your work. in fact it would be highly appreciated.

also remember, we all do this stuff as a hobby. and there are things more important and things less important.

in short: come and join us instead of fighting immature flame wars on the forums. we are pretty nice and open to new guys - really (:

[Desire HD Android Development] Kali-:
i hope u understand about write x is better then y is just not useful and if u have argument about x is better then y i will be pleased to read and verify, but just writing .32 + smartass is better is very annoying

about smartass i cant see real improvment from interactive no permormance and no battery life difference.

and this is just one of annoying thing, havs is just another and i can continue :|

@all plz stop this flame here
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
exactly THIS i did without insulting anybody resulting gettnig flamed. but this gets ignored and only pointed out my reaction uppon this!

(although i am 100% sure this will be missread again) about my testings i spoke in a different thread in this one i ONLY ASKED why no updated kernel exists and i only marginaly asked about smartass!

for this simple question i got flamed by kali (yes getting told i have no clue of what i am talking for asking this is an insult) and my basic question even ingored.

at which point exactly did you expect me to present my test results? when i asked about updating kernels or when i got the insulting response?

or when others here jumping on the train without actually reading what they are flaming about?

if you had the time to write such a long post with good intension you may have also the patience to verify that it was NOT ME who did what you wrote!

When it comes to radios, there is really no fix rule. It's really a matter of trying it out for yourself and decide which suit you best. The radio from the OP is just a recommendation, at the end of the day is really up to you. I don't think region or rom specific is that significant.

As for myself, I am presently using the latest test radio which you could get from the radio thread.

And again, it's really your own personal preference and decision. Cheers!
