midNIGHT 3.2

I am missing the AIO a little on the new BYOR. Have to go flash happy. Like the idea though. Maybe there is a way to get both. Can someone tell me how to get the fixes in the AIO with a BYOR action? Mod the ROMs zip? Thank in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coke32:
this happens alot to me all you do is reboot into clockwork and reflash ontop of your rom and it works the second time usually
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy_T:
I would recommend flashing Bonsai a second time. That might clear up the problem. The path from a stock DK28 is particularly rocky. Would recommend that if you have ever flashed stock DK28, that you NOT go back to stock when flashing Bonsai or midNight. You just make things harder on yourself and it does not accomplish anything.

To those who are suggesting going to another kernel that supports both RFS and EXT4, the kernel in Bonsai and therby midNight does still support both RFS and Ext4. We just don't support it...

If you flash to some other kernel, you are guaranteed to break your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy_T:
With Bonsai or midNight, there is no reason to go through the wiping exercise. That is handled by the install process. It really is as easy as we describe it in the install instructions (linked in my sig). We have not left out steps...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jirafabo:
Yeah but when upgrading to CWM3 many people have found that their current rom causes troubles with CWM3 on reboot. It won't let it format to EXT4... and what is the fix for this problem.... ODIN to stock DK28, then root to CWM3... so then when we (I, and others) want to flash Bonsai, we get the vibratey, softboot issue. Luckily it's an easy fix.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randy_T:
True, it is an easy fix. Just reflash.

But if you had not flashed back to stock, the Bonsai install process will work just fine from the currently installed CWM. Just install .zip from CWM and you get full backup/restore of your current data.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyAlpha:
Ok loving my DHD but there's so much to learn. On the HTC Weather App that you access by pressing the weather under the clock how do I set a town or village it only seems to accept cities??? Also if I am driving around if I press the weather on the front screen for a split second it displays the weather for where I am but quickly defaults to the default city. How do I set it to display by proximity location?
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
so my girlfriend's brother pushed her and she ended up falling on her phone. she tried to turn it on and what do you know, all you see is a black screen with white lines. anyone know the problem? do i just have to replace the LCD? thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Hopefully you have insurance, if so tell your girlfriends brother to cough up 130.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
lol tmobile insurance is a joke. but i'm making him pay $200 to cancel one of my spare lines so i can give my GF one of the G2's that im selling. im hoping it doesn't come to that because i really don't want to do that. my guess is that i just need to replace the LCD. anyone care to chime in?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
The impact could have damaged several internals. Without opening it up, you don't really know what you have to work with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
good point. i was planning on taking it apart tomorrow
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] awsrasool:
RE

i had a similar problem with my phone ... my screen went white with random black lines on it ... i might have sat with the phone in my pocket earlier not too sure ... anyways so the screen wouldn't show anything but the phone worked otherwise, i can hear it receiving notifications, and i can even receive phone calls and answer them if I slide my finger across the screen ... the phone was rooted, and i wasn't able to do a hard reset on it ...

took the phone back to bell on the 3rd, and last monday i heard back from them saying that the LCD was cracked and needed replacement ... which is not covered under the waranty since it's a physical damage and it would cost $150 CND to replace it ... should be getting the phone back this monday...
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
After replacing my Desire Z via FutureShop warranty (for battery issues) I somehow ended up with the lines on my screen Christmas eve, however the LCD was not cracked. The lines would move around and change in brightness as I did things on the phone (opening apps, flipping keyboard out, etc). If the lines don't move then it's more likely a crack in the screen. My issue was more likely a faulty ribbon/connection. I carry my phone in an inner breast pocket on my winter jacket, so I definitely didn't crush it or anything, either.

So back to FutureShop I went, only a week after the first replacement, and they gave me another new one right away. Between 2 stores that I have visited my 2 replacements are supposedly the only 2 replacements that have been done since the phone launched.

My 3rd one seems to be doing well, no battery issues, so far no screen issues.

I guess my point is, if you can get a phone from a retailer that offers a decent warranty, do it. I bought my phone outright at $500, the warranty was $10 a month.. I fell for it, but I'm very very glad that I did. Although HTC may have covered me, I would have been without the phone for a lot of time, and once they found out that I'd unlocked it they probably would have left me in the cold.
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
I had exactly the same, it is very very likely that "only" the LCD that is broken.

I got an replacement from from ebay (it's about 60 USD) and replaced it following IntuitiveNipples teardown guide at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down

Its' a little bit of fiddling but in the end not that complicated (tryin to remember which screws should go into which place was the hardest part)
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
Thanks for the input guys. Very much appreciate it. Looks like ill order the lcd when I get my next paycheck :O
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
Have the girl lawyer up and press assault charges. Something like this really should be in Q&A, and the guy needs to get dumped.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reflux:
Lol I'm the boyfriend. It was her brother that pushed her, not me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] radici:
I have this problem too, and eventually (like 2 or so mins in with the screen on) the screen gets dark areas in the corners. We're guessing it is screen damage (which is strange becuse the phone hasn't been dropped or anything, was just in my pocket). My question is what should I do - should I send it to HTC for an exchange or will I get issues with that because the phone is rooted, in which case should I just get a new screen and replace it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Skellyyy:
Epic fail haha. :) That would be a bit harsh now over a phone, wouldn't it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Still... sounds like trailer trash to me. Or a 13 year old brat...
[G2 and Desire Z General] radici:
sooo, no assistance with my question?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
If you are worried about sending it in, just unroot the phone and you will be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] radici:
I'd love to... but how do I unroot without a screen?
[G2 and Desire Z General] radici:
this is what the screen looks like now :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kevin001111:
I have good news for you radici! I Had previously owned a G1 and the touch screen went out. it would boot up and show that i had Cyanogenmod on it... they still fixed it for free and mailed it back. HTC is very kind to there customers so i would say just send it in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joysboy:
That is so bad. I am sorry to heard this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMod'sPolice:
Yes, send it back
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Similar issue to the OP cropped up with my G2 when I put my entire body weight on the screen, accidentally kneeling on it. The screen would not turn on, but everything else still ran fine. I had haptic feedback enabled, so I could unlock the screen, and press the menu buttons, but the screen just stayed off no matter what.

I was out of warranty, no insurance on the phone, but I took it to T-mobile (had not rooted at this point), told them it just quit working, and they shipped me a brand new one for free!

Do what I did.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
How was the phone out of warranty? It hasn't even been out for a year and t-mobile warranty is 1 year from date of purchase...

At any rate its good that they fixed it. I've had to pay the out of warranty fee before for much less.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Buddatearz:
Manufacture warranty is always 1 year. Been that way since t mobile was voicestream. With that said t mobile Also offers an extended manufactures warranty for half the price of the assurian accidental insurance with a deposit the same as u normally pay for the phone anyway. Either way, g2 has known screen problems. Just got mine 2 weeks ago and there's a corner crack already with no drops. Research will always tell u how to not pay for it. Lofingl
[G2 and Desire Z General] gurk04:
this exact same thing happened to me just 3 weeks ago! My phone was rooted and I started getting that same black screen with white lines. Since I bought the G2 from tmobile and I'm using it in Canada I couldn't just go to the tmobile store and exchange it.

Anyways I shipped it off to HTC and they just sent me a new one. I used to have dings on the casing and they weren't there anymore...So it must have been a new one or a refurbished one that looked new.

Either way I'm happy :)

Goodluck!

According to the testers oovoo and tango work fine. There is the ever present banding issue, which will be annoying until they figure that out. But they are making good progress.

Also I read you have to have about 1.7mbps down in order to have a usable video conversation.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
This correct. I use tango it works great you do need a certain amount of speed (about 1.5-7) to not have choppy connection. But wow it really works good. The Banding is only when you take pictures with the back camera in low light you get some red-lines in the pix, but for me this is a non issue I don't use the phone in low light so NP

I can test for you.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
AFAIK P1000L hardware is different so it will need different kernel :(
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
How do we check which bootloader we have?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
If you installed Euro JJ4 ROM you probably have JJ4 bootloader.

It will probably also work with stock ATT and TMO bootloader but I cannot guarantee that. I have JJ4. People have reported issues using Euro ROMs on ATT bootloaders, I believe the same issues will show up in my CM7.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
some white lines while booting etc. if JME works for you my stuff should work too.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] quattr0:
I'm no expert but this seems obvious (for me). If you have a linux box, do a "strings boot.bin" on a protected bl (extract from JMF downloaded from samfirmware for instance), you will see these lines

PBL: Error.. sbl verification failed..

PBL: booting stop!

My at&t backup boot.bin does not have the above 2 lines.

Just my guess.

btw i wanna learn how to fix that. can you give me directions ?

first of all I'll try to get stock rom compiled.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anielk77:
too bad again not for CDMA tab user :confused:
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
First off all u need to find the kernel source for ur tab (i think P1000L, right?) And then apply the patches technomancer made to the kernel but this is very hard to do! The best thing would be to contact technomancer! And if i find some spare time tommorrow ill try to compile a P1000L kernel for u but i cant guarantee that if i manage to do that everything works! But i knoe how to compile kernels from source so it should not be a problem! :)
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Get sources for your kernel from opensource.samsung.com.

Compile it with gingerbread branch of this initramfs https://github.com/cmsgs/android_initramfs_galaxytab

Hi can somebody write complete how-to ? step-by-step. For each HTC rom I have updated there was manual ...

I have original Europe rom Polish operator Era. Rooted device and what should I do to install [ROM] CM7 Gingerbread Public Beta???

readme.txt from 1 page

1. Your Tab should be partitioned with P1_add_hidden - what does it means ? what I need to do ?

2. It should have unsigned bootloaders that can load Euro ROMs - if I have Euro Galaxy Tab do I need to have unsigned bootloaders ? I guess not but can somebody that is expert confirm it ?

3. Wipe your Tab (data, dbdata, cache) - some special methods or just boot recovery mode and use wipe data function to restore factory status ?

4. Flash it with heimdall (use simple flashme script for full flash) Or just flash zImage and factoryfs.ext4. - how to use it ? can somebody send link to this tool ? what is needed to have this tool working properly is there any special conditions, dll's, other kits ?

Thank you.

Radek
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Landroid:
1. if u are above JJ4 u dont need to do this

2. u need unlocked bootloaders

3. boot into recovery and wipe everything BEFORE flashing

4. u need to download heimdall and install the libusb32 driver located in the driver folder
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] augusrad:
Hi thanks for answer.

sorry for more qestions but there are no stupid qestions ...

1. How to check if I'm above JJ4 ? what is JJ4 ?

2. How to do it ? how to "load" unlocked bootloaders, where to donload them what is procedure and how-to ?

3. this is the only one thing that I can do and know how to do it.

4. I did it and don't know whitch files to load where in GUI application or I can use command line but what command to lunch ? can you answer with complete command ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Qsilver2001:
Go to Setting, About Phone. Its baseband version, etc JJ4, JME, JMI etc.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] nico1375:
I don't want to bash but if you don't know anything about your tab, BL's, firmware... do you really think it wise to flash CM7?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] augusrad:
Qsilver2001 thank you for help.

nico1375 the answer is yes I do need it, first of all is SIP VoIP client, second extended support for Exchange with SSL and X.509 certificates. I have my tab since week so don't be surprised that I know almost nothing, everybody is learning sometimes at least on the beginning, so if you can help me please answer my questions and help me to have CM7

If you want my help please ask me anything about VoIP (SIP/H.323) that is my profession.

BTW I have checked baseband (this word says to me more and I understand what it is baseband) - and I have P1000XXJID

is it possible to back to 2.2 after upgradeing to 2.3.2 CM7 ?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Interesting, it looks like the dhd.ko source that is included in Samsung's kernel source release.

I will probably backport the same from Nexus S kernel, since it has support for combo scans.

Hi,

I extracted FM radio code from the CyanogenMod git repository, with semi-encouraging results when trying to make this work on the Tab. Could you please take a look and let me know what you think about the choice of individual *.so library files (do you think I should also copy some JAR files across ?):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9174594#post9174594

Many thanks, and good luck with the CM7 port !! :)

Dan
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
CM BoardConfig.mk has FM_RADIO option which I have disabled on the Tab (for now). When things will stabilize more I will try to enable it. But there is definitely a need for extra kernel module (it gets loaded by other Galaxy S ROMs that support the radio). Right now I didn't even try looking into how to build this module and where to get the sources from.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] daniel.weck:
Thanks !

CyanogenMod provides the Nexus One device with access to the same FM radio chipset that the Galaxy Tab uses. Something to look into.

Downloading Large Apps - insufficient space

Well, the CM7 mod here is awesome! I have been really impressed with the speed, and also very stable - where I was having some pretty nasty lockups with the Gingerbread Rom I flashed before. This one is pretty much all I need.... if....

I am having a problem where I try to download an App from Market over 25megs.

There is a number of sites out there with the CM7 insufficient space fix listed, and I have tried a few....

1) Linked the Download directory to the SDCARD using:

This hasn't worked - and I believe the problem is that the apk files from market are not downloading to the download path, but instead they are being downloaded directly into the cache. And I think that is the problem with the rest of the fixes I have tried below.

2) Removed Market update and used original (removed Market Updater to prevent updating) - now it just doesn't give insufficient space error, it just doesn't download.

3) Reflashed CM7

4) Created Sd-ext parition and used S2E and changed the Dalvik cache to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and Download Cache to sd-ext/download

This doesn't appear to be working, using Root Explorer I notice that dalvik-cache is still saving to /dbdata/dalvik-cache (I know this because I cleared that cache) and also downloads are still happening in /cache

So I am a little stuck here - almost everything is working, but I am finding that certain games, and programs I want to download don't because of this problem.

Any help?

Overcome is written to be used in portrait... this cm7 is written to be used in landscape. To quote Steve Jobs 'you are holding it wrong'

Swyped from a Galaxy (tab) far, far away...

Which means pardon any Swyp-oes.

That brings to question. Why orientation lock in CM7 locks you in portrait instead of whatever you are in at the moment? I would expect it to lock in landscape also.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Hybridesque:
Tried a few times to install this via CWM last night but with no joy. Eventually realised that I needed to do it via EXT4 File system so promptly installed the kernel for Overcome ROM, let it do it's thing and then use CWM to install the .zip file. I quickly ran into the issue over the sdcard mount being different.

I tried to alter it via adb with the file off the first post but qtadb kept crashing. Would I be right in thinking I need a microsd card to help me pull this off?

I'm quite stunned that CM7 scored 2400 on my tab, but want to persevere more with the ROM but gone back onto Overcome ROM until I get a microSD card (although I'm undecided).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
I will probably move whole /cache to /data/cache since it is the only reasonably big partition that is guaranteed to exist.

If anyone is so unhappy with sdcard and emmc, since last release they are declared as switchable pair, go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Application -> Use internal storage [ ] and check it and reboot. It will swap sdcard and emmc. (It will stay like it is now in recovery though).

Generally the real sdcard is /mnt/sdcard in CyanogenMod and this will remain the default setting.
