Hey guys,

i am expieriencing two issues since i have the nightly build 7 installed (i'm currently on build 31).

First of all, how can i add a contact picture to myself? So that this picture of mine would show up in the messaging app for example. First i thought it would be simply to add one in my google account, but that didn't work. Then i tried to create a contact on the phone with my own phone number and assign the picture to that contact. Then i have set my own phone number in the settings of the phone. This did work and i had a picture of me in the messaging threads. The problem is that my phone number is gone in the settings after every reboot and i got the grey image box again in the messaging app. Anyone knows how to fix that? Is it a bug in Android???

The second thing is the synchronization with facebook. I have been able to set the sync up in the facebook up directly and it worked until i reboot the phone. If i try to add facebook via "Accounts & sync" settings, nothing happens, it does not even add the account to the sync list. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for the great work and rom!

best regards

mazeli

issues with voip and cm7

Hi to all,

great rom, great thread so far, but unfortunately i have issues with voip and cm7. I have a well configured asterisk server at home, used it with stock sense rom and sipdroid / csipsimple in the past and was excited reading about integrated voip in gingerbread. I´m on cm7 since #24, but I did not get that voip part running with asterisk. Tried csipsimple latest nightly as well, but noticed wlan issues (connection aborted...). Changed to edge, started openvpn, and it worked. I´am familar with voip..my work is related to it, my asterisk server has several vpn connections to some fritzboxes, everthing is fine.

My question: Did anyone tried simillar things? Are my issues rom related? Can someone confirm? Would a full wipe help? Questions over questions..waiting hopefully for reply.
[Desire Android Development] bdormael:
Nobody has this problem ?
[Desire Android Development] simonovicc:
anyone got problem with sending or receiving MMS on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
I do have the same problem as well

i wonder if its a carrier problem with new 2.3 software or it is rom itself?

[Desire Android Development] blowy666:
No, not app related....before I flashed CM7 I had Cyanogen 6.1.1, based on FROYO, and it worked with XiiaLive....must be a problem with Gingerbread...?!?

Hope somebody could fix this.... :(
[Desire Android Development] chris5304:
Not sure if it will help but have you tried using MortPlayer AudioBook? I don't use Bluetooth but MortPlayer always restarts at the right place in my experience, it survives reboots, pulling the battery, etc, etc.
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
I don't know but AFAIK there's no need to flash a specific ril really.
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Sent 2 mms yesterday and they worked fine.
[Desire Android Development] fenderf4i:
It's entirely possible that the app needs to be updated for GB.
[Desire Android Development] itshotinhere:
Yep. You will need to install the new RIL each time.
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
I hope i have a simple problem,

I've just installed this rom and some widgets but

The widgets wont appear in my widget menu so i cant

Add them to my home screen...

ive tried different launchers but they all got the same problem
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Are they in phone memory or moved to SD?
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
the only thing i can reply here, is I tested sip with a german sip provider called sip gate. it worked very well, the only issue was I lost connection after 5 minutes screen off, not being able to be called via sip. But that was way back, when no nightly was available and I compiled myself. And it was 2.3.1

Hope that helps at least a little. You reminded me to test sip again.

[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
All media players didn't work on gingerbread at first until they got updated. Gingerbread changed a lot internals, that's why many apps need slight changes - especially media related apps.

I see a very high chance, this is not rom but app related

Swyped with cyanogenmod 7 powered HTC Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
You can add those files to custom backup list. all those contents arrrrr preserved during updates. Search thread, so I don't have to swype the exact path name

I read from somewhere ril doesn't work on gingerbread roms
[Desire Android Development] Roscopcoletrain:
if you look at xiialive, the latest update says it wont stream acc with the nexus s. |im guessing this is your issue. Try going to an older version of the app. i think i have 2.1.5 if you need it, pm me.
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
RIL stands for Radio Interface Layer. Every phone has it. The folks who are installing "RILs" are simply replacing the library files with what they believe are "better" or "more compatible" libraries, which to me is dubious at best. I say that stuff is a complete waste of time. The libraries that come with CM7 work just fine.
[Desire Android Development] waltpinpin:
you have to move concerned apps (those with widgets) to internal memory
[Desire Android Development] shyamk:
Not exactly. All conditions remain the same (apps used)

Battery usage overnight (6 hours undisturbed) with RIL - 4%

Battery usage overnight (6 hours undisturbed) without RIL - 12%

I am using 32.54.x radio and its corresponding RIL, CM7 31 nightly.

I have gmail and twitter performing check for updates once every 15 minutes.

[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Check your gapps, lost gapps and some internal programs with this mornings flash. As in no market.

Therefore lost widgets too.

Thank god for backups.

Edit: was also trying coutts kernel. But flashing again over nandroid and all ok again. Just one of those things.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
you have to log out from facebook. when you're logged out, go to accouncts & sync and add facebook to your accounts.

that "should" help with the facebook issue.
[Desire Android Development] rikxik:
I have this problem too. When the MMS arrives, in case the data is off, I'm stuck at "Downloading". I don't know what would happen if the data is ON when MMS arrives. Had this issue couple of days ago; however, rebooting the phone worked.
[Desire Android Development] yukkio:
Also gps does not work without ril.

BR.
[Desire Android Development] coolbits:
Works fine here. No special RILs installed...
[Desire Android Development] brandaopj:
here too and no ril installed..
[Desire Android Development] Turbii:
I noticed this too, flashed gapps-gb and they're back. Is this needed every time a new Nightly is released?
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hi,

just a quick question about this :

CM7 HBOOT by Alpharev | xda thread

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

Require nightly #18 or newer

Upgrade instruction:

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).

what does that mean exactly ?

just "make a nandroid restore" ?

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
that means: advanced restore system + advanced restore data

its a separate option in clockwork recovery
[Desire Android Development] yukkio:
It means restore your nandroid you did in the first point
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Ok,

I'm using amon_ra that's why I did not find it :D

But if I want to install CM7 after flashing the hboot, this point 6 is useless right ?

thanks for your help.
[Desire Android Development] yukkio:
You can restore your nandroid with amon-ra too, just use nandroid restore (I think).
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
not if you want to have your apps/settings back in place.
[Desire Android Development] blowy666:
Thanks...I´ve tried it with different older versions now, but none of them works with the streams. Seems like there is no way to play my aac streams by now... :(
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I have never installed a RIL as all that's recommended is any 5.X radio i get similar battery life and GPS works just fine with 32.54.x radio ;)

Are you both checking the integrity of the nightly with MD5?

If not then what are you flashing? who knows;)

Re-flashing gapps shouldn't be necessary

AFAIK no data no MMS as the MMS contains data
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
I meant, I'm not using CM7 at the moment, so if I flash the CM7 Hboot and if I want to use CM7 after, the nandroid restore is useless.
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
yes, that's right. then you don't have to restore...
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
You could of course backup your current rom then install CM7 check it out do a backup then install CM7 Hboot and you would have a backup
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
indeed,

my question seems stupid now :D

thanks, both of you ;)

USB brick

HI. I bricked my desire, when I updated build via rom manager.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955129

any idea?
[Desire Android Development] blowy666:
Well, that may be.

I only was surprised because the problem with aac streams was not only with xillLive, but also with A Online Radio for example...and both apps worked before, with FROYO.

So maybe a problem-mix with both, app AND Gingerbread...?
[Desire Android Development] okie0304:
That happened to me too. Go to the recovery and re-flash a working ROM. You can also try restore. If you don't have any ROMs in your SD card, then you can enable the connection between the phone and the computer (Amonra: SD-MS, Clockwork: check it out on Others)

Hope that helps
[Desire Android Development] brandaopj:
So it's not safe flash through rom manager?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Not ROM Manager's fault, I've had it happen with Amon RA too...

one more thing that bothers me and i just want to know if anyone overcome this problem. showing html images in mail apk. mail apk wont show html embeded pictures in some cases. anyone got a clue why?
[Desire Android Development] ownjoouk:
I've noticed this happening now and again too. I guess this sort of thing will be fixed when CM7 goes stable.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Do you mean when you have to press the "show images" button in the e-mail? Works fine for me...

Or are you talking about the non-Gmail email app?
[Desire Android Development] RedSkyRoad:
Can someone please tell me how to change the font colour of the notifications in the pull down status bar?
[Desire Android Development] sk3201:
Got it. Tested with other roms, same behaviour. Started sip debugging and wireshark told me, that android sip stack is sending invites without authentication header, which is bad. Adding insecure=very to extension config makes it working with asterisk. Will try to find out how to change the behaviour of the sip stack....so long
[Desire Android Development] simonovicc:
in gmail app everything works fine problem is in Mail.apk

mail client whitch im using for my 2 exchange accounts. buisnes and school. in same cases when you press show images the images wont show. in some cases they do. for example when i receive microsoft newsletter the embeded picture shows just fine but when someone from my company send me email whitch have images in signatures they wont show!
[Desire Android Development] mkolonko:
images are too big? if i remember, you can define the max size of images... not sure tho...

ICE contact

hi, maybe noob question, but do you know ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact ?

I have my wife, mother, sister in ICE. All of their last names begin with Ch, and Ch is before I, so why If they call me I see ICE contact calling, not the real name ? I don't have this problem on stock rom.
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Got this problem too with the E-Mail App (NOT GMail). Got the E-Mail set up with an exchange account.
[Desire Android Development] nevara:
Maybe you have the use nickname ticked in settings
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
hey - first of all i finally tested sip again - you made me reconsider. the disconnect-in-sleepmode problems from pre-nightly are gone - maybe it was the 2.3.2 update - maybe it were some fixes by cm team (there were commits about sip in code review)

anyways - if you are deep into sip, and you say not sending authentication header is a bad thing, perhaps fix it. get the sources and fiddle around with then. a rough explaination is here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Bravo
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Hi, from what I have extensively read, most phone companies will under-clock a processor in their phones to save battery life, as a processor that has a max of say 1.2gh that is under-clocked, draws prominently less power than a 1gh max processor, I don't know if this is right, but many people seem to think it, please correct me of I'm wrong :). So my question it, taking what is said above, is it safe to over-clock you processor slightly to say 103680mh to get better internet and flash performance in custom kernels, without the risk of burning out the processor? I know this is a bit off topic, but I wasn't sure where to ask, and the idea of over-clocking has always made me a bit scared.

Also, has anyone had this fault, since the latests build, where by you are in the default browser, and no page will then load, so you think it is an internet problem so you try a different browser, and it works fine. To solve it you have to turn your wifi/hsdpa on and off again, even though you have internet proven my the alternative browser? Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Why do you think CM settings allows you to run a 1Ghz processor at 1113Mhz circa 10% OC mine has been at that speed for months no problems

What phone companies underclock their phones never heard of that, do you mean that HTC could sell the Desire as a 1.1 Ghz phone?. CPU manufacture is not 100% accurate most CPU's have some leeway for OC'ing some CPU's from the same batch will have different OC'ing capabilities, that's just down to manufacturing tolerances. A faster CPU will not speed up your internet a faster internet connection will do that. Do you have wifi and 3G enabled at the same time? try using only one or the other for surfing, pointless having both switched on and could be the cause of the problem. Also i think it is the kernel that determines the amount of OC allowed

Or maybe i should say the kernel determines the amount you can try to OC but the CPU,s capability is the determining factor

If you are talking about flash performance of a website i would guess internet connection speed is the main factor unless you have very weedy CPU and graphics performance
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
Thanks, and I have checked, and the fault happens regardless of whether the 3g and wifi are on at the same time. Also, I know that this is random, but on the htc sense rom, the battery usage would be about 10% at mid brightness, but on every other rom it seems to be about 50 %, and on gingerbread if find it to be 60% +, does this mean that the htc battery stats are wrong, as the same thing is on my friend stock wildfire, as I said I know this is very random :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
All CPU's by default are underclocked, if the manufacturers could save even 1 penny per unit by making a CPU that worked perfectly reliably at say 1Ghz but crapped out at 1025Mhz they would.But when you are making millions of the little b*****s this is impossible so they have to build them in a way which ensures 90%+ of the batch will be A.O.K at 1Ghz so some lucky people end up with CPU's that can be OC' maybe 10-20-30%. This is mass production we are talking about every penny counts over specifying components is not the name of the game
[Desire Android Development] danielsf:
That makes a lot of sense, thanks :)

S-Off / Help

Hi.

I'm sorry to have to ask, but I've been trying to find a solution for this for ages.

Can someone please help me getting s-off on my Desire?

I once looked at alpharevs page, but my PC won't boot in Linux for some reason (I tried with the Tiny Linux) so I had to give up trying, since I couldn't find any other solution to get s-off.

I have just looked at alpharev again, and as far as I can understand, I can now do it without a PC. Am I right?

I know they have instructions on their page, but I'm not 100% sure I understand it correctly.

My Desire is rooted and running CM7. (I installed the legacy a2sd, if that matters)

Can someone please tell me excactly which file I should download? Should I rename it to zip? Should I just boot in fastboot and run it from there, or is there anything else I have to do? I really want s-off, but don't wish for a bricked phone.

If someone would PM me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

downloaded 1 & updatet 5 Apps in Market / made Fotos and upload to Facebook and other small actions incl. a few calls

This is really a great, great Rom !!!! Thank you Guys !!!

How do you guys remove apk before flashing the rom?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Just open the archive using Winzip or 7Zip or something like that. Then delete files from archive. Just make sure you don't extract anything, just open it. After you've deleted files and you want to flash the file, make sure you disable signature verification in recovery!

[Desire Android Development] x5starguerillaa:
Firstly, all hail CM team!

This is the first time I've used your nightlys and I'm well impressed. Apart from a few (very small) bugs, I can report that all my major components are working correctly, wifi fine, Bluetooth fine, mobile data fine.

I haven't tried the newest build yet but I would say that build 3 is stable enough to use everyday.

I only really have one question to anyone who's in the know, In CM 6.1.1 I love the level of personalization (custom pull down bar in particular). Will the framework of gingerbread allow this in 7?
