What version of the gapps do you use with the nightly builds? The link in the howto for an HTC Desire GSM points to gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip but that framework is only 2.3.3. If I look at the version of gapps in gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip, it is 2.3.4. Is there a 2.3.5 of gapps that works with HTC Desire? Should I use 20110613 or 20110503?

Edit: Actually, I am using a combination of gapps packages from 20110613 and 20110503. Most of the files within these two gapps packages are the same except for the following in system/app:

GoogleFeedback.apk v2.3.4

GooglePartnerSetup.apk v2.3.4

LatinImeTutorial.apk v2.3.4

OneTimeInitializer.apk v2.3.4

GoogleServicesFramework.apk v2.3.4

In 20110613, these files are v2.3.3. and in 20110503, these files are 2.3.4.

But, in 20110613, there are three files that are needed which do not load properly from 20110503.

GoogleBackupTransport.apk v2.3

MarketUpdater.apk v1.0

SetupWizard.apk v1.3

I have found that these three files are using different versions and are not related directly to the five files described above. Also, GoogleBackupTransport does not load from the 20110503 gapps package.

So, this is why I am using a combination of the two packages because I want the 2.3.4 framework set of files and I want a working GoogleBackupTransport.

Any suggestions?

Change Ia29fbce0: ui: led notifications: Add red option for mixable dual led

Hi,

I didn't see the following option (change) available in my device for the builds#145 or it not suppose too?

Change Ia29fbce0: ui: led notifications: Add red option for mixable dual led

any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Well, as i didnt see the option(must say i wast actually looking for it), while the handsets charging and i get a msg the led would flash green and orange(red)...

maybe thats what they meant by that?
[Desire Android Development] edwardally:
Hmmm... That feature was in build#137 and 140

bravo(c): make notification led work when on charge (cm-kernel)

make notification led work when on charge (android_device_htc_bravo)
[Desire Android Development] teazgood:
145 is the 2.3.5 version, seems good and stable so far :)

[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Why bother at all then, why not just give access to everything to everyone, seeing as there is no point anyway. :rolleyes:

The point is to make it difficult, to not have it so that someone with a little bit of knowledge can easily access things that are secure.

By having a pin number in recovery, by not having recovery or bootloader as an option in the reboot menu, your making it difficult.

Your statement is that of a defeated person, someone who has just given up. Its not going to work so why bother trying..

At the moment, its REALLY easy to break into a Cyanogen mod phone and claim it as your own, give your phone to a mate for 5 minutes down the pub and ask him to see if he can break into it.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
Surely that's the case for all rooted phones with a custom recovery tho not just cyanogen. The phone is pretty secure unless you root it. Don't root of you have security requirements.
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
I'm not saying Cyanogen should implement this whole solution, to be honest, most of the changes would need to be done in the recovery solution you use like clockwork (and i've asked for a simple pin code to be added in there).

What i don't think Cyanogen should do is make it so easy to get into recovery, especially if you have a security screen set up.

Why not have it so you can reboot the phone if you haven't entered a pin, but only give the option to reboot to recovery or boot loader if your past a security screen or don't have one set?

Like i said, its not about fort knox its about making it difficult for someone because at the moment its REALLY easy to break into a Cyanogenmod phone and any other ROM that practically walks you through into recovery mode.

Without this you would have to KNOW about recovery, know the key combinations to use, know how to get the Android SDK, know the commands to use etc.

That's a damn site harder than press and hold power button, select recovery, wipe, factory reset.
[Desire Android Development] TastyTorge:
Hey,

after 3 months I got my Desire back out of my cupboard because one of my friends wants to buy it.

He wanted the latest CM7 nightly so I rooted it and flashed #146 on it after a full wipe.

It seems to work good but I wasn't able to sync it with my gmail account so I could install some apps for my buddy like a new launcher (lp or go launcher cause adw sucks imo).

But there aint no market?

Is there anything I forgot?
[Desire Android Development] will8578:
iv never actually cared or thought about if my phone gets nicked, and not everyone knows about rooting phones, can see where you coming from tho, surely tho if its not rooted, can they not learn like we did how to root
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Did you forget the google apps add-on?

The link is in the second post of this thread.
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
They can, just like a hacker can learn to hack.

My point is though - why make it easy for them? Most people are just not that technical.
[Desire Android Development] will8578:
that includes me, maybe you can try and see if you can make a security app or something

[Desire Android Development] TastyTorge:
damn, im so retarded, how could i forgot that. thank you
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i see what you are getting at.

the power menu has to be there for purpose of shutting the phone down without being unlocked. its a part of android. i know the could probably modify it but that would cause further upset for other users.

catch 22

why care? it matters no more to you if you cannot get it back.

once its been stolen its gone, who cares if its easy for them to use the phone?

if you have a security code for the phone and not just the pin then they will have to flash a new rom or wipe the device to get into it. at which point your personal data will be gone.

if i was to steal your phone and i couldnt get into it i would hit google and notice you can just get a pb99img.zip from shipped roms and jobs done
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
@TheBlueRaja: you forget the very idea that led you to install a custom ROM and a custom recovery: you wanted to have more freedom and do more with your phone. When you have decided you had to root your phone and SOFFed it, implicitly you have put on a second rank the idea of security.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
You're going to hate me;):p

But how do you stop someone who can read and has internet access rooting and s-offing any stock Desire
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Ok ok,

But your all assuming that the average Joe knows as much as we do, thats not the case.

Yes if you spend a lot of time reading up and working it out then anyone can learn, but i'll bet the average joe wont bother and once they are met with a security screen asking for a pin and no obvious way to reset the device then there is a good change you can recover your phone.

Especially if you have Wavesecure and they get messages telling them you have their new mobile number, the street they live in and that your going to the police prompt if they don't phone you.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
I'll make this my last post as it's not entirely on topic and possibly confirms my cynicism over phone security apps;)

If someone is stupid enough to use a nicked phone with something like wavsecure installed, they use a sim card which is linked to their genuine ID and address, plus on top of that they leave the phone turned on GPS enabled everynight by their bedside in the rural location they live in (nearest house to them about half a mile away) Then under those circumstances yes you might retrieve your phone.

Phone location software in "normal" high density urban areas is a total waste of time unless you can persuade the police to cordon off the area and search every person/building in the rough location the phone is located. If i was dumb and knew nothing about phones then threatening sms msg's would simply make me ditch/throwaway the phone or discretely ask one of the numerous "We can unlock anyphone" kiosks if they could sort it out

Wavesecure doesn't tell you the street they live in and your guess that the location they are at say 10pm 8am most days could be anything, night time workplace, relatives, girlfriends house, park bench they sleep on etc
[Desire Android Development] Heisenberg:
Above comment 100% right. Simple solution.. take care of your phone! I dunno bout you but I do not let my Desire out of my pocket/hands.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
indeed in addition to that i have a security code to access the phone after the pin code.

if someone stole my phone they would put in their sim and be met with that. they would then turn it off and wipe the phone or find someone to wipe it.

they wont keep the phone on if they cannot access the main os so wavesecure/lookout is pointless

these things are good if youve lost or misplaced your phone but thats about it
[Desire Android Development] Z0l:
These apps are there to protect your data, not your device. To be honest, if your device is worth more than your data, you have bought the wrong phone.

Gps unreliable build 146

Hi,

When using mytracks the gps doesn't stay on. The result is really bad results. Known issue?
[Desire Android Development] troly:
No problem for me. The machine I'm on 147:D:D
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
I notice that LED notification not work on my phone (nightly #147). Is this a known issue or just a problem on my phone?

Edit: Seems the kernel (using manu2.0), with stock kernel led notification works. In older builds there was no problem for that with this kernel.
[Desire Android Development] ogre_x:
I'll try 147 today.

Have you done a factory reset when going to 145 and above? (2.3.5) I haven't yet.
[Desire Android Development] davebugyi:
I'd recommend to do so - FULL WIPE. Usually it fixed bugs for me (if the bug was not known by others).
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Had the same issue before, just wipe cache n dalvik, you should be good to go...
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
I wiped booth, are you also on ManU 2.0 kernel? Cause with stock kernel led works for me, not with ManU 2.0.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Ya, althou im usin the 2.1 version he released on his thread for someone to test it with vpn :)

i experienced the same behaviour but wiping both cache n dalvik did the trick over here :\
[Desire Android Development] ogre_x:
I tried to wipe cache and dalvik and installed 147. Will give it a spin tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
I tried this kernel now, wiped cache and dalvik for and after kernel flash but no luck for me that led notification works, only with stock kernel.

I think its something with the change for red color led notification (cm kernel) in the latest CM builds. When i set some apps in CM settings (LED notification) to color green, than it also works with manu kernel.
[Desire Android Development] keyra74:
you solved one of my questions... so that's why i don't have anymore red flashing led

gonna post on manu kernel :)
[Desire Android Development] siroj:

[Desire Android Development] dbolichowski:
I'm on 7.0.3 stable right now. I know that you have to do a full wipe to switch to the new Nightlies.

What's the best way to backup everything (settings, SMS, even my ADW.Launcher layout) and restore?
[Desire Android Development] d0msen:
Titanium Backup and SmsBackup+, both free on the market.
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
Another LED problem, LED dosnt blink when akku is und 15% (stock Kernel). Seems the LED changes in nightlys makes some issues.
[Desire Android Development] myk202020:
Can anyone tell me what size I would need to get this ROM down to so I can use it on the Oxygen HBoot?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I assume you mean how small the zip should be, since it's otherwise obvious (Oxygen r2 has 100 MB /system, so that's what you aim for)?

I reduced nightly 147 to 51.4 MB when zipped, and after installation it's using 89MB of /system. The only Google app I installed was Market, so if you install Gmail etc. you'll use more space. Likewise if you flash any other add-ons, UOT themes, alternative kernels, these will add to system space. But even so, that's still plenty of space for the Oxygen r2.
[Desire Android Development] troly:
hboot not enough oxygen, rom size is 135m. You must use or cm7r2 hboot cm7:D
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
That's why (s)he asks "what size I would need to get this ROM down to" to make it fit! Read the question before answering ;)

It's perfectly doable - I edit all CM releases down to fit without losing anything that I need. Takes a couple of minutes, is all.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Or you can always make your own partition table based on your needs.

http://thalamus.ineige.org/misc/HBOOTS/hboot_patcher_r1-win32.zip

Used it to make old cm7 partition table and worked great.
[Desire Android Development] troly:
You read the last two circumstances::D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10675412&postcount=2
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Yes, and...?

That post says that you cannot install the unmodified ROM on the Oxygen table. The poster was asking how much would have to be removed to make it fit. (S)He was clearly perfectly aware that you can't install it on the Oxygen table without modifying it, and was asking how much modification would be needed.

But it can be modified to fit - there's 10s of MB of themes & wallpapers, most of us don't need multiple TTS languages, there are likely to be a few apps you don't need. I always run CM7 in the Oxygen table, after removing stuff I'm not interested in, and it works fine.

The only drawback is that if I wanted to file a bug report I'd have to switch hboots, load the full, unmodified ROM, and confirm that the bug was reproducible then. That's fair enough.

Regarding Gapps for v2.3.5:

"Suspected GoogleBackupTransport.apk in the gapps20110503 for v2.3.4 is not working properly. Replaced this file from gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"

It appears that GoogleBackupTransport.apk in gapps-gb-20110727 for v2.3.5 is also not working. When I look under Manage Applications -> All, the Google Backup Transport Service does not show up as installed, like the previous broken version did. I had to revert back to the GoogleBackupTransport.apk in gapps-gb-20110307, same as before.

Anyone else notice this?
[Desire Android Development] zlatkowolverine:

[Desire Android Development] owenjm:
Can I just check if anyone else has experienced weird behaviour with the new security-lock/lockscreen decouple added in #145? I consistently experience the following bugs, but I haven't seen anyone else post about them and they're so obvious I'm wondering if I'm going crazy ...

* Setting multiple unrelated preference changes immediately nukes the decouple option (i.e. change the lockscreen background ... suddenly the "Enable slide lock delay" pref is reset; or change the lockscreen style, and the pref value is again reset).

* Setting "Enable slide lock delay" forces the "Custom app starter" pref (for sliding tab, rotary and rotary-revamped styles); and if "Custom app starter" is disabled, so is "Enable slide lock delay" ...

Cheers,

Owen
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
I have installed CyanogenMod nightly 147 on my phone and it works well so far. I have noticed 3 problems though:

I have tried to enable the mobile data through the notification power widget and after waiting several seconds the change was not effective. I have tried to disable, then re-enable and it didn't help. Then I have tried to disable the mobile data, go to 2G, go back to 2G + 3G and enable the mobile data. This didn't help either. I have rebooted the phone and everything went to normal (so far).

When the environment has a low light, the screen is set to one of the lowest levels, but it flickers. I have tried to enable the filter for the sensor data, but it did not help.

When the environment has a low light and the screen is set to one of the lowest levels, periodically the screen becomes bright then reverts to a lower level. I have tried to watch at the sensor raw data and I have noticed that in low light the sensor raw level varies around 12. When the screen becomes bright, the level increases (the environmental light says at the same low level) to 255.

These are my first impressions, so far. I am impressed of the battery life (ondemand kernel governor)! Today is the third day without charging, moderate talking at the phone, browsing on the web (mobile data and wi-fi) and the phone has reached to 39 % of battery.

10240 245*

*Note: The last screen setting of 245 can be set to 255 (the maximum brightness) but I find it too bright and not good for the screen. The idea is to get a linear transition.

Allow light decrease

Could somebody tell

me if the built-in recovery within rom manager works with pvt4 desires (the ones with different mtd setup)? I have a remote friend who'd like to root, but his phone is newer than mine and told me that recovery is not working for him.
[Desire Android Development] Zobat:
sorry dont understand you. pvt4?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The PVT number indicates a hardware revision (or part of it). Some PVT4 devices have a larger "erase size" than earlier desires (different memory chips), which causes problems with earlier recovery versions.

To answer the actual question, if your friend has an erase size 40,000 device then ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 won't work - I don't know what ROM Manager uses (I remove it from the ROM before flashing), but that's what Unrevoked will install by default.

I've generally seen Amon RA 2.01 recommended for those devices. I believe some later clockworkmods are supposed to work with them as well, but couldn't tell you what version is needed.
[Desire Android Development] Z0l:
Thanks for your answer, unfortunately this confirms my doubts. For some reason, recovery is no longer maintained for desire by koush, which is a bad thing, since according to the stats it's still one of the most popular device for CM. I think I'll ask my friend to either install 4.0.0.5 patched by iinga or amonra and see how it works out. Cheers

I have a serious problem since moving to 147 and now still on 150 as well. My sd-ext drive still has 250mb free and my internal has 26mb, and it moaned about running out of space.

Just make a backup of your contacts on Google first.. (export data) then you dont have to worry about losing it.

Compared to a sense rom, the battery drain during the use of the phone with cm is less, but on standby the battery seems drain a lot

On spare part all seems ok, except in the sensor use; the gallery seems used it for 7h, from when i boot the phone
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
:rolleyes: That means your phone should last 90 hours until it shut down, or about 3 days and 18 hours. It is not that bad! :D

I have a compilation problem. I have tried to recompile ADW Launcher with make WITH_DEXPREOPT=false ADWLauncher without modifying the sources. The result was ADWLauncher.apk with 955.2 kB. The original file has around 705 kB. Is there any compression parameter that I can modify?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Only 90 hours in standby is not bad? Come on, every phone, even our desire has more than 300 ( maybe less) hours of standby..1 % for hour is too much..again i mean with no active internet connection
