Doesn't look like the audio fix for the NAM Desire HD made it into #12... I'm not seeing any of the MCLK files in /system/etc/soundimage.

From the Gerrit review, it looks like they should be there...

[Desire HD Android Development] Rosjer:
Happy to see progress is made in this matter allthough i find it quite usefull as it is atm, but yea that consumption seems better than i ever hoped for :P
[Desire HD Android Development] igor.tonky:
maybe, i'm still figuring the timezone of the buildbot and general time corellation between build times and gerrit merge times :)

thanks for notifying, i'll include it in the next changelog, after i check them.

Mad-murdock, you are right on. If you google

Double Tap brings up Android "Edit Text" menu instead of Swype word menu

after update

You will find this info in the Swype forum (I hope it is ok to quote other forums here):

We're aware of this issue, and it is limited specifically to devices running

Gingerbread. The current version of the BETA was released before

Gingerbread was publicly available, so there are some compatibility issues

that hadn't been resolved yet. We're working to address these issues for

our next release. Keep your eyes open!

EDIT: FYI that post was from 02-25-2011
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
thanks for the hint!

edit: turns out, its not intended to be there...
[Desire HD Android Development] cursordroid:
You mean not intended to be in #12, or that the files are not intended to be in /system/etc/soundimage.

Sorry, just need clarification...
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Found a bug on #12. When I connect my phone to USB, it asks me if I want to turn off USB storage, although it's not yet on.

That's amazing stats, can't wait for u guys to implement that fix into cm 7, would definitely be a breakthrough for cm (6+7) on the dhd since battery drain always been top issue for most people.

Internet Speed Test

I had posted back somewhere not long ago that I really didn;t see any good reason to go back to prior Android based ROM (2.2) but just for fun (especially since it shows up in Clockwork) I flashed CoreDroid ROM

My internet speed test showed about 1.2 to 1.5 Mps on the download

In the same chair (same location) I restored my CM7 Nightly Build 11 and my Internet Speed is consistently below 500 kbps for download !

Any thoughts? Is this normal behavior 2.2 vs 2.3 ?
[Desire HD Android Development] Vispe85:
Same here, it actually doesn't happen with the original camera app that comes along with cm7 but with camera360 when using flash in my case. And I can get the auto adjust to kick back in just by locking/ unlocking the screen. Kind of strange but not that big of a deal. And this is not a one time thing, happens every time.
[Desire HD Android Development] rosswaa:
gps still not working! Urgh
[Desire HD Android Development] colonel_lp:
Odd, ive never really had a GPS problem with any of the nightlies. Recorded a track with locus on a cycle last night. Where are you, and what radio?
[Desire HD Android Development] dmitrych:
In #12, hebrew appear twice in language settings.

During startup googleapps wizard, if I choose hebrew, only hebrew keyboard appears and it's impossible to switch it to english, so I can't type in english and sign in to my Google account.

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] manudas:
I would like to know what are the changes to stop the battery drain and to break the sound. Just curious :)

PD: has to do with the super suspension mode??
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
I would just like to highlight in case mad-murdock or else hasn't noticed, nightlies don't seem to get compiled "nightly". In fact, after latest nightlies there should have been again two more nightlies.

I don't want to whine, I want to report in case it's not noticed. Maybe there is even a reason for it?
[Desire HD Android Development] xgrind:
Noticed one more issue.

After making a call, except the homescreen, all the app orientation will get stuck in 270deg landscape mode.
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
Regarding stuck in wrong direction, I noticed this:

1. Start Labyrinth Lite

2. Exit Labyrinth Lite

3. See CPU load with OS Monitor or similar

/system/bin/akmd is taking cpu load constantly, and sometimes orientation gets stuck in landscape.

I guess could be a bug in Labyrinth Lite as well.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
Happened on doodle Jump aswell. I think it's a system bug, not an app bug.
[Desire HD Android Development] timstanley1985:
Just tried to build my own nightly. Built fine and flashed ok but phone calls is broken
[Desire HD Android Development] delicb:
I have a little problem, not sure is it a bug and I don't know how to reproduce it. Every time I flash new nightly I add few mp3 files to /system/media/audio in appropriate folder. I use those for notifications and ringtones. At first everything works as it should, I can choose these files for SMS notifications, ringtone, alarm sound... But after some time (not sure if I do anything) notifications sound stops working. Apps that should use it ignores it (they just vibrate) and my file is not on the list. The file is still where it should be in the filesystem (I checked with Root Explorer and I can play it). After restarting everything works fine again and I can choose these files. This happens only with notifications, never happened with alarms and ringtones? Did anybody else notice this? Any solution? Workaround?
[Desire HD Android Development] ghostofcain:
As a Possible workaround stick them in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications, you can pick them from there and they will remain in place no matter what ROM you flash, you will have to re-assign them obviously.
[Desire HD Android Development] delicb:
Thanks. I was doing that in the past, but my phone is often attached to computer and SD card is mounted. In that case system can't use mp3 from the card and that's why I put those files in phone memory. But I guess that I will have to put them on SD card until somebody fixes this.

Hey Guys,

Any feedback on build 12 ??? ;)

For some reason once I try to enable wifi the phone restarts.

and goes into a restart loop.

I did a full wipe install.

No problems here except for the Swype issue mentioned a few pages back. I probably can't help you, but someone will want to know:

Accelerometer failing at high CPU speed (1.5ghz)

If I boot and let SetCPU set the CPU speed to 1.5ghz, the accelerometer does not work. i.e. it will not go in to landscape mode and tilt-type games just don't work. It works at 1.2ghz. It was really really annoying me so I thought I'd better post this. I'm on the latest CM7 Nightly 12.

EDIT: Actually the problem is more random than that. I can't get a reliable fix by playing with CPU speeds
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Unless we get a late build today this will be the 2nd night without a nightly. Is that expected or is there a problem with the buildbot?
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
I'm not taking things for granted, but, seriously, where are the nightlies??? We keep seeing codes being merged though.
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
add your files to /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt

each line should contain one filename to be backuped.

like every rom, cm7 formats system on install. but we have a backup script to backup gapps and some other stuff before formating. this backup script cares also for all files added to custom_backup_list.txt

well, yes, i dont like it, too - but we have troubles with build servers - nightly builds are done manually atm - or not.

maybe bug http://twitter.com/ChrisSoyars - but dont mention i told you he is the man in charge for it (:
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Ah, knowing that the builds are currently done manually makes it more understandable that they might be intermittent, thanks.

battery drain fix

hey. based on our findings, i created a fix for the battery drain. in my opinion, it increases battery life - but not as good as it could. now i need you to test it. get zip and flash it from recovery. you have to flash it again after each nightly install.

mad-aic3254pd_signed.zip

please report

- differences you find in battery life

- battery life compared to cm7 without fix

- battery life compared to sense roms

- any issues you might encounter

i dont hope you run in any issues, but if you do, you can remove it by either deleting /system/xbin/aic3254pd with adb or root explorer, or just reflashing latest nightly.

after you flashed the zip, you should see aic3254pd in process list - open terminal and do "ps aic" - but it auto-starts for me, so i guess it should auto-start for you, too.

here i uploaded two pictures of last nights battery use. default ondemand govonor, default frequency of 1017mhz, wifi never-sleep, killed most background apps.

i think the pic of kali's test i posted before showed better bat life - but since it was around 100% battery, it might be inaccurate. 9% in 5 hours (1.8% an hour) seems better to me than before.
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
Thanks.

Flashed your zip. Will report sometime later when got accuratr results.

[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
since i understand your need for new nightlies, i uploaded a new build for you. have fun with this replacement.

update-mad-20110306-1002-cm-7.0.0-RC1-DesireHD-signed.zip

edit: oh, to fight arising questions: its exactly like any other nightly you used. just flash it from recovery like a normal nightly.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Sweet, my phone is all "mad-ed" out now; mad ROM and mad battery.

In case anyone asks, yes, you do need to reinstall mad-aic3254pd_signed.zip after flashing the new ROM (assuming you wanted to use that).
[Desire HD Android Development] arielext:
Added the mad battery script over my cooked CM7 from yesterday, let's see how it works out in the field!

Is anyone else having problems with the accelerometer? e.g. stuck in portrait or landscape?

[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
quick note:

its possible the battery fix just works if you use something that users microphone like voice search - and after it screen off. not sure yet, so just a hint

[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Thank you Sir!!!!

Would you mind generating the md5sum for some of us here. Is just something that I always check before flashing. Hope you could kindly understand.
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you are trying to say. Your fix does not work if I don't use any microphone related functions with my phone?

All I (and I guess many others) use microphone for is phone calls. :p

Do we need to know something else in order to successfully test this fix? If possible, could we have a little background how this fix works affecting battery life in positive way?
[Desire HD Android Development] hrkfdn:

Thank you Mad Murdock!

I'm going to flash this right now. =)

Btw. Do you know if mouse pointer will be incorporated into CM7 like it was in CM6? That is the only thing I'm missing now.

Thank you very much! Great work!
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
nono - i was in a hurry writing this - so now a bit more detailed

first of all, what that patch does: send a power down request to the aic3254 (aka dsp chip) every 60 seconds.

the driver makes sure, the request is ignored, if audio is in use

the driver also makes sure, the device is powered up again, if audio is requested

i got early word now, that maybe the power down only occurs, when the microphone was used before. i cannot confirm this yet. for me, it powers off every time i used audio - but i didnt do in deepth testing yet.

you can check with adb if the powerdown was executed:

[sven@frink system.cm7]$ adb shell dmesg | grep AIC3254
<6>[ 4755.062744] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254
<6>[ 4815.301666] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
I'm sorry, but how do you get that vertical line, between "dmesg" and "grep" in adb? Could never quite firgure that out.

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] swiftscythe:
Alt Gr + 1 :)
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Believe me, I am looking very hard at my keyboard. Ok... I could press Alt, but what is Gr that you are referring too, and do I just press 1 after that?

Thank you in advance
[Desire HD Android Development] -Android Freak-:
Alt Gr is the tightmost ALT button. Sometimes they don't print the "gr".

Just Hold it down and press the key with the "|" on it. For me with a swedish keyboard, it's the same button that has "<" and ">".

Good luck!
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Thank you !!!! got it!!!! Silly me indeed.
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
if you dont find the pipe | (thats its name) on your keyboard, you can also copy and paste it from here.

but whatever language you got, it must be there - else all linux guys (and even some windows pros) in your country would get mad.... |||||||||

oh, depending on your operating you can also try pressing left alt and typing 124 on num block
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
in cwm3 (and also cwm2) its in the "flash zip from sdcard" submenu - toggle signature verification and toggle (something else)
[Desire HD Android Development] Walker Street:
The problem persisted with your kernel. I went back to a Nandroid of the Release Candidate (back with Android 2.3.2) and the problem went away.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
When I used your command I got an empty result, but I found on my phone I had to do this:

adb shell dmesg | grep spi_aic

And then I got this result

File STDIN:

EDIT: Maybe it's because I did this in a DOS box with a version of GREP from 1990...?
[Desire HD Android Development] delicb:
Thanks for the tip about custom_backup_list.txt, it will for sure save me some time. I was copying files after every night flash.

But I am not sure that this will solve my problem. This problem occurred when I copied files AFTER flashing CM7, that means after first boot and everything worked for a while and then it stopped (I don't know why, but I didn't reboot the phone).
[Desire HD Android Development] kshting:
Sweeeeeeeet!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] mad-murdock:
that's why i asked for testing. its not your grep I guess.

try google voice search, then screen off and then see if you get the power down please

If you can achieve 1-2 ma like leedroids rom then I will migrate back to cm7 ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
The strange thing is that I just couldn't get grep to show anything. However, I tried this:

adb shell dmesg > xxx

If I then look in xxx I see this:

<6>[ 8.151611] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254

This example came short after a reboot without me doing anything, not even unlocking the screen. Is that sufficient? If not, let me know what else you would like to see... in the mean time I want to figure out why grep didn't do what I expected.

EDIT: Got a newer version of grep and it shows the same info that is reported 2 posts down.
[Desire HD Android Development] phunkycow:
Sounds fantastic, I'll give it a shot and report back. :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] z0ltrix:

After flash of your nightly and power-down fix dmesg gave this;

<6>[ 7.715301] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254

and then nothing more for several minutes. Started voice search and closed app again. Since then I get the expected once-per-minute message;

<6>[ 427.720214] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254
<6>[ 487.928833] aic3254_powerdown: power off AIC3254

ok dude just flashed the patch AIC3254 with ur nightly build, first standby drain was usual 10 - 15ma. After checking dmesg I saw it was on suspend only, then opened voice search and closed it and lo and behold: Standby drain 4ma!!!!!!!!!!!! and 1ma with airplane mode!!!

Most amazing patch/fix ever for us DHD users!!! I cant believe my drain is 4ma in standby same as the latest sense ROM's!!! MAD-MURDOCH and KALI u guys rock!!!

A GPS broken ?

This afternoon, sunny sky, outside on a park i couldn't get a gps lock.

This morning, i coould could get a lock, but i took a few minutes.

So i tried to download GPS Status and noticed that i couldn't download the A GPS. It tells me something like "A GPS data will be downloaded when a data connection will be avalaible".

So i asked a friend to test with his desire hd with a miui rom to do the same and it downloaded the A GPS instantly saying "A GPS 0 day old".

After some googling, I tried several things like changing some options in the APN settings or the /system/etc/gps.conf without success.

Am I the only one having this problem ?

(using cyanogen nightly #12)
[Desire HD Android Development] Fihlvein:
Whoa. Normally with CM7 it's 10-14 mA for me.

Now with the patch: 1-4mA during past few hours!

That is so awesome. Can't wait to have it activated without needing microphone first. I tested it without using mic and it was not in use.
