I tried several ways to merge libgps.so into darkstone's V5 desire system.ext2 with no luck. After putting libgps.so into /system/lib and rebooting, the boot process stops at clk_set_rate() after the penguin logo shows up.
Can we use libgps.so with any Eclair builds? or it can only be used with froyo builds?
Note: The reason why I tried to do this was because, in my experience, Eclair builds were far more smoother, stable, and less memory hogging than all froyo builds. The difference is even more perceivable after installing 10~20 APKs.
Any advice/suggestion is highly appreciated!
Same problem here!!!
After typing "su" in terminal I get # but it doesn't ask me for superuser permission.
If I proceed with following command:
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm /system/lib/libgps.so
# cp /sdcard/libgps.so /system/lib​
after restart system won't boot.
NOTE: Using desire_v5
tried it as well.... no luck also... hence i moved to froyo build. try cyanogen build.
... or try Matt's build. It has HTC Sense (which I prefer), and there really isn't anything NOT working for me. Maybe something isn't working but I haven't found it yet.
GPS, Bluetooth audio, camera, call audio, GUI speed, USB transfer (using automount), WiFi... it all works.

yup that's froyo build you're using. the problem is with eclair builds
i used matt's then switched to cyanogen. works without a hitch. smooth and everything works. camera and camcorder with flash, hspa/3g, etc.
Thanks to bangsters, after switching to cynanogen, I can't believe my eyes! it's just amazing! The completeness of this port is close to official release. No more lag problem exists when opening pocketnow.com. This is simply marevelous! Highly recommended for anyone who didn't give it a try.
yup so smooth... i haven't been using winmo for like 2+ weeks lol...
I just flashed the Miri rom and the in-call sound works, but unlike Dan's Froyo build, the GPS doesn't work. I replaced it with the new libgps.so file and it wouldn't even boot. The build is solid, but I just need GPS to work. Can I get a link to the Cyanogen HD2 build, and does it have Sense?
I just followed the instruction on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739755&page=11
There's no built-in Sense UI, but it's rooted.
Please note that cyanogen is gonna create an userdata.img around 500MB on your SD Card, so make sure you have enough space.
BTW, the battery life seems to be improved compared to the froyo builds, despite the fact that cyanogen is based on froyo.
Matt's build is Froyo with Sense? I want the sense UI but I want the call quality to work as well. Darkstones Claire build has good call audio and no SOD. Plus it has the HTC keyboard. Wish I could take bits and pieces of each build and make a stable one!

Okay, I finally cleaned up what I've been working on the past few weeks
New sqsh with tattoo senseui!
so this is senseui from the tattoo, so it runs at native resolution 240x320. I have not tested it at *any* other resolution.
I haven't done a lot of testing so I can't guarantee everything works... ie I think that bluetooth might be broken? who knows... other folks please post your experiences!
Please note: I *have* seen the whole thing crash due to WifiService dying on my vogue once... and I've also seen a hard lockup on the polaris once... not sure why or workaround, but it doesn't seem to be commonplace.
I use the tattoo.user.conf and I *don't* use rosie, and it runs nice and speedy... YMMV.
New rootfs that cleans up a *lot* of little things... you can now use the volume-down installer to *update* your nand partitions and back up your nand data! (you first have to have a the nand flash complete before this will work, and you need to use the rootfstonand with the updated rootfs)
Maybe I'll post some screenshots? who knows...
Everything is HERE
EDIT: Forgot the most important part... Credits!
This build is almost entirely from the Belgian HTC Click image posted somewhere out there. Lots of time was spent getting the RIL to talk to the phone application without crashes, but it seems somewhat stable now.
At my disposal I had donut and tattoo builds from enatefox, zenulator, plemen, and maybe a couple others.
Some bits needed to be swapped out to work, and that took the bulk of my time... oh well
I'll also give some creds to the folks over in kaiserland, but I'm not sure who (sorry).
Thanks muchly! Been beating my brains out trying to dyi a port of Tattoo and you've done all the hard work. Made my day, now I can go to sleep....
Trying this out tomorrow. I'll write about anything I see. Nice job.
Thanks Vilord
I'm a big fan of tattoo native resolution senseui.

NICE JOB VILORD!
Hi,.
Thanks vilord, this is the best build with sense that i have tried.
I have the mount system error the first time i try to boot it, the second time it boot without problem.
Im wrting this from this build
arleybarros: what is the state of android on NIKE at this point? Do you still have no vibrate?
all: I'm still not 100% sure why the installer's choking, but I'll poke it when I get home (I still need to partition the SD on my POLA200, so I should be able to see exactly what you see when I do it)
Sigh, more user freindly
I really don't mean to sound a negative note, your hard work , along with the other devs is sooo appreciated and admired. But for the many newbies that are out here, drooling other the new toys you guys are providing, I would really like to see complete bundles, which are updated as needed, with maybe a version number assigned to each updated build. Because of the modular nature of the OS, it is far to easy to to mismatch components resulting is a royal mess, and a real bad taste for potential users.
Or am I just full of it?
no you're completely right.
Once I get things ironed out with the installer, and after I've gotten some more feedback, I'll put it together with two zip downloads, one for NAND installation and one for haret/SD installation.

Since the vibration was disabled (2009-09-22) all the builds works almost like vogue, except for:
Camera: never worked, maybe because the drivers are diferent or because nike camera max resolutuion is 2MP (force close)
Bluetooth: never worked, maybe drivers
Vibration: disabled
everythig else works perfect.

I am really looking forward to this, but get the same result as lauyanyameric on my Kaiser, afterwards I am dropped to shell .... Anything I can do to help debug?
Tried it without partition, and I get data error and it created a 34 mb data.img.
Tried with a blank data.img (no partitions) and I was able to boot!
Grateful for your work! Thanks.
try formating your sd card again...
So far, so great.
Running via Haret and this is working superbly. Everything that should be working, is working.
So far have tested audio, data, GPS, camera (via Camera Pro), and apps such as Voice Search, Exchange Sync, Market and they all work and are quite responsive.
Noticed a few rosie reloads after using memory intensive apps, so I added a 32mb swap in the conf file. So far no more rosie reloads.
Also, the USB to PC app doesn't appear to like my work machine. Not sure if this is an issue with the desktop or the app.
Will be flashing to NAND after a bit more testing.
Thanks again Jesse!
Cheers
Nick
First off thanks for all the hard work you and others have done bringing android to the vogue. I have donut running off of nand right now and love it but am wanting to try this build but have no idea how to reflash it on there. i have tried searching and searching but i havent found a good answer on how to do it.

Thank you I think doing this will add a layer of usability to the releases, and gain a greater community of users as a result. Personally I would rather have releases further apart in time with this kind of thing rather than a rush to try the newest toy.
Don't wanna post other peoples work... so go get it yourself through ROM Manager.
Anyone tried this yet?
I have. Great ROM. But the Bluetooth is still choppy. Is there a fix for this. This is the one and only reason I can't use this ROM. I need Bluetooth.

Downloading it now. I've never used Rom Manager before and noticed there was CM 6.0.1, 6, and 6 RC3. Was CM 6 stable release newer than RC3? I've been on RC3 since it came out and it's been rock solid other than random reboots with wifi on.

I did S-off, upgraded the radio to 2.15 and installed CM 6.0.1.
I overclocked to 1.152 and i got 1450 in quadrant. So far so good.
I connected it to my computer and it asked me to format the internal memory, only 760mb shows up as total space to format though. Any thoughts?
Edit: Now under phone settings it shows 0.00B for internal memory and i get notifications for low disk space.
Edit2: Restarted the phone and now i'm in a boot loop. Back to SR 2.5 for now.
I am still unable to get facebook to sync with my contacts on this? 6.0.1, Any help please, I can get anything else working no problem. Works perfect with the Facebook for Sense...

That's great news! The instability / reboots made the previous versions nearly unusable for me. I look forward to trying this.
Does sling player work yet?
Could someone package an update.zip with the changes? I hate wiping for only a dozen lines of code when I JUST restored all my apps before 6.0.1 was released
Can anyone post the kernel version? I've heard that the kernel that comes with 6.0.1 isn't overclocked, however I'm still able to oc to 1.15
I did an install with no wipe, if the kernel and / or build number differs then I'll do a full wipe.

That's not the same as your 8gb of onboard storage. That's your app storage you really can't get to normally. If you installed the 6.0 final or 6.01 you will see your onboard 8gb storage in Astro File Manager. Main problem still exists though, the OS isn't scanning it for music and photos like it should. That's going to be fixed eventually.
This version is MUCH more stable for those who had reboots and black screen issues. It's only been about 12 hours but I haven't had an FC or any reboots yet. Just look forward to the fix mentioned above and Bluetooth getting finalized.
EDIT - an hour after posting this my phone was stuck with a black screen, no response for several minutes until it finally rebooted... oh well
Hey Guys,
Being a PC overclocker I felt like a fish out of water when it comes to overclocking a phone
I recently got a HTC Wildfire and found out how to root it and flashed my own ROM, Kenral etc. (with some difficulties)
So I downloaded SetCPU and started OC'ing. Being a PC overclocker I followed the logic of set speed and run stability test.
So I slowly started upping the max speed and then stress testing for 20 min odd. I just kept on upping the speed until I got to the limit of SetCPU (768Mhz). Where to from now?
I have not changed the minimum speed because I have read that it can make your phone rather unresponsive.
Is it possible to go above 768Mhz or will I damage the phone or have to up voltage?
I ran linpak and at 768Mhz I got just under 3 MFLOPS. Is that good or bad or what?
Thanks in advance guys
Mikrouwel
768 is the safe limit, you'll need to make a kernal that will allow the processor to go further, 3mflops is good on a sense ROM but on an AOSP ROM you will get over 5 easily. Why do you want to go over 768 anyway?
What is the difference between sense and AOSP ROM? If it is just the sense feture then I dont mind changing ROMS. (Dont use sensce)
Also what is Cyanogenmod 7 RC1? Is it the same os CM7? Seem alot of people talking but dont now what it is?
Thanks
Mikrouwel
AOSP -> Android Open Source Project. It is vanilla Android, without Sense. So Yes, your assessment is correct. It is just the Sense feature.
Cyanogenmod 7 = CM7. Just a short way of writing it.
Hi There
Is Cyanogenmod 7 a ROM?
Also is Android Open Source Project ROM too or a app?
Sorry kinda confussed
Also what is Clockworkmod Recovery? Does it have something to do with ROM Manager?
Thanks
Mikrouwel
1: Yes, CM7 is a ROM
2: AOSP Official Page: http://source.android.com/
3: Recovery Images are found whenever you boot into Recovery. Example: All that you see like Clear Cache, Install ZIP from SDC etc. are part of a recovery. ROM Manager is a standalone app and is not related to Recovery, although, it can help update the recovery since the developer of Clockworkmod Recovery and ROM Manager are the same.
Technical Definition of Recovery: (Sourced from Turkeys Ultimate Guide Glossary)
The recovery partition is a boot-mode for your phone that allows you to wipe your settings from the #data partition of the phone (a hard wipe), or perform an update using an update.zip file on the root of the microSD card. It is common (although not necessary) to flash a patched Recovery image, such as Amon RA's one. This allows you to run Nandroid backup from the device, and flash modifications, such as update.zip files to the device, essentially becoming a means to install sotware to the device. Recovery mode is separate from 'normal' mode, and can be entered by holding down home whilst turning the phone on.
Oh, you should probably go through Turkeys guide and glossary yourself. It should help a lot.Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
Glossary : http://bit.ly/9HtICk
Many thanks Guys,
ATM I am using this ROM with this kernal. Were can I download CM& and will the notiable differences be between the one im using and CM7?
Also what is New Nightly? (You have #13 next to yours?)
Thanks alot guys
Mikrouwel
CM7 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918072
Or, the latest, i.e. RC2 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957140
Nightlies are automated builds created by the Build bot. If you check the first link I posted, in that post's download link, you will find new nightlies everyday. Nightlies implement minor code changes, and, are experimental releases. They may add new features (eg: Nightly #11 implemented Android 2.3.3, #13 implemented FM Radio etc.), but may also add new bugs sometime.
As for differences, one cant say for sure, since ROM preference is a personal choice. Try it, if it suits you, use it, else, switch back.
Hi There,
I am going to try CM7.
IS the RC2 stable and if so is it more or less stable than RC1?
Also if I just go into recovery and flash will I have to flash nightlys or not?
If I am not mistaken it runs 2.3 and I thought that there were many features that didnt work on 2.3? (Gingerbread)
Also what kernal do you recommend I should use on CM7 that will let me got 768+?
Many many thanks guys for all the help
Oh yes and what app do I use if I want to keep all my apps and contacts and stuff like that? I used titanium backup last time and only got like half the stuff back?
Thanks Guys
Mikrouwel
* RC2 is stable for me. No issues so far, although camera sound bug is still there - If you take some pics using flash, phone loses all sound and you have to reboot.
* After RC2, it is upto you whether you want to flash nightlies or not. There is no compulsion.
* Can you list some features that dont work on 2.3? Personally, I cant find anything amiss over 2.1 / 2.2
* CM7 comes by default with an overclocked kernel, which will allow OC to 768. Overclocking beyond 768 is not possible since that is the safe limit for the Wildfire's CPU. Because it is overclocked by default, if you get a bootloop, flash HCDR.Kernel v4.1 after flashing CM7. This will restore stock clocks, but, still allowing OC using an app like SetCPU
* Apps can be backed up using Ti backup / Mybackup Pro etc. Contacts can be backed up by going to Contacts > Export > To SD Card. Then, after flashing, again going to Contacts > Import > From SD Card, and select the VCF File. SMS'es can be backed up by using the free SMS Backup App from the market.
Hi all,
I've an HTC Wildfire with a SD card of 32 GB (class 5 or 6) and I'm trying to find a rom that can satisfy all my needs. I've tried the most common rom for wildfire, but I haven't find yet the rom fit for me
Here a list of my needs:
- Good interactive gallery.
- Good camera app.
- Thethering from wifi.
- Install the apps on the sd card.
Here is what I've recently tested:
CyanogenMod-7 Nightly Builds for vendor Buzz (only release #9):
- Thethering with wifi works fine
- Bad gallery: slow and does not work as expected.
- Bad camera app: pictures quality is less than the HTC camera app.
- No apps on sd: using app2sd, at rebot the applications in sd just disappeared.
I tried darktremor patch and Link2SD app but does not work at all.
CyanogenMod-7 Nightly Builds for vendor Buzz (greater than #9)
Tried some other release and all of them get stuck.
CyanogenMod-7 for HTC Wildfire (Buzz) :: V7.0.0-RC2
Does not work. Really slow and really often get stuck.
DK Custom Froyo V4.3.6 (Froyo 2.2.1) Stable & Smooth
-Nice camera
-Nice gallery
Unfortunately some time get stuck.
WildPuzzleROM_2.2.1 v0.8, New Base, Transparent Lockscreen, LWP in SENSE
Using HDCR jacob kernel.
(the currently I'm using)
-Nice camera
-Nice gallery
-Thethering does not works (all other devices cannot connect), I've tried also with other application.
-Link2SD does not work, darktremor as always give me the same error that cannot copy the dalvik cache.
Please can anyone suggest me a rom that works fine and has all this 4 features.
Thank you really much.
Apps2SD definitely works on WildPuzzle, because, I was using it, and, it worked very well. Probably, you are doing something wrong. There are some guides around here which state how to install it, just search for it. Here's one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12398752&postcount=22
Wi Fi tethering will work if you use the kernel 0055 from the OLD Wildpuzzle thread. Again, Just search for it.
- Quickpic
- Miui Camera (i posted a thread in the app section), Vignette, Camera 360 Pro
- tethering works on cm7 and on wildpuzzle
- darktremor app2sd works on cm7 consistently for me. Which means, you don't know what you're doing, you're just doing it wrong. (have you even tried flashing jacob's 4.1 kernel..?)
I suggest you just stay with a sense rom since aosp gives you so much trouble rolleyes, i'd recommend wildpuzzle or sunaabh.
easiest way to install dtapp2sd
1. flash it
2. boot into recovery and mount system
3. on terminal, cd into your sdk tools folder
4. type adb shell
5. type /system/bin/a2sd reinstall, then it will reboot. then go back to recovery and do /system/bin/a2sd cachesd
or
1. flash it
2. boot into phone
3. open terminal emulator
type 'su', then type a2sd cachesd

apps2sd works fine on cm7. you're doing something wrong. Get nightly #30, its very stable. for the gallery, use quickpic from the market. camera quality is equal to sense roms, only the interface is ugly. you can try the miui camera in the themes and apps section.

does this system function also with the sunabah?
I've installed the rom sunabah, boot into phone, turn off the phone, flash the dtapp2sd but then the phone does not make the boot (I've seen for about 30 minutes the HTC logo...)
remove the battery, boot into recovery mode and flash another rom (DK)... and it is ok.
Do you know why and the solution?
Cyanogen has released the 7.2 version OS for HTC Hero GSM. I've seen a lot of people talk over the CDMA version, but none on the GSM one. Has anyone tried it out? I wanna hear the bad and good remarks that you have to say about it , by "you" I mean those who have tried it.
To be sure, this is the tipe of HTC Hero I'm referring to: spinei.hotnews.ro/wp-uploads/2009/10/htc_hero.jpg
I runned it for a week or two. As for stability it's the same as CM7, CM7.2 just has some ICS backports, nothing bad
What do you mean by ruining it?
People who own the CDMA version claim that on their phone it's a performance improvement from 7.0 to 7.2.
I have 2.1 official version on it. It's stable and somewhat ok in terms of flow in the menus. Will 7.2 be an improvement over the the official 2.1 version on my phone?
P.S. I didn't test any other version of Android, it never used anything except the stock version.

It;'s not ruined, I had it on my device for a week or two. I thing it will beat your 2.1 official. It will not have HTC Sense. You get 2.3 version of android some ICS goodies. I didnt run official 2.1 on hero so i dont know how it is
What does HTC Sense has and cyanogen 7.2 doesn't have as equivallent?
From what I saw in youtube videos, cyanogen pretty much has something almost equal to HTC Sense as GUI. Are you referring to the HTC specific apps and widgets?
P.S. I misread "runned" for "ruined" )
Yup that fancy weather widget and all that stuff, but you wont miss it trust me, that raw android look is way better
One more question.
How functional are these:
- WIFI
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- basic phone functions(calling, messages)
- sound
? Did you have any problems with these in terms of errors or functionality(loss or low of signal, automuted, etc.)? And did you had any random restarts issues?
Nope they all work awsome, it's a stable release, those releases dont have problems with that. And you shouldnt be too scared to flash your device. So far I had 4-5 android devices that are rooted and flashed a million times without any losses, you may encounter a soft brick sometimes but you can fix that easily. You cant know how good is a ROM until you test it. So stop being a girl and flash it . No offence If you dont like it, there is a lot more ROM's on this forum, you dont have to choose CM7.2....
First time to install Cyanogenmod was not entirely easy
Hey all,
I just created an account to be able to post my experience with CGM 7.2 on the HTC Hero GSM. Everything I checked so far works fine, however there's a slight jaggedness in scrolling.
For me as a complete newbie it took about 6 hours to get it to run, mainly because I had to get straight what I actually have to do. There is no paucity of TO-DOs, just no individual one worked for me - I got it sorted out only by combining all kinds of posts from everywhere. That's why I want to share my viewpoint on this - without all kinds of different people airing their piece of the puzzle I would surely have given up!
The specs were as follows; starting with the "fastboot-info":
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.15.11
Aug 4 2009,19:43:30
And software-information:
Firmware-Version 2.1-update1
Baseband-Version 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel-Version 2.6.29-7527f009 [email protected] #1
Build-Nummer 3.36.405.1 CL199109 release-keys
Software-Nummer 3.36.405.1
Browser-Version WebKit 3.1
So here's what I did:
0) I wrongly assumed that I need to unlock my bootloader directly, i.e. using the software from HTCDev. As I am using Ubuntu Linux, this meant quite a hassle in itself, and I did not manage it after all. The reason was due to an error when trying to get the Identifier Token needed by HTC to send you some clearance-file to unlock the bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.007s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
I found no solution to this problem, but tried to up- or downgrade my HBOOT-version. Luckily that wasn't necessary after all. A side-effect of it was that I installed adb and fastboot, which I happened to use later on (but are not necessary either).
Let me assure you: Unlocking the bootloader directly (in the HTC-way) is NOT necessary!
1) Getting root access:
I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to do that, and conveniently installed it using
Code:
adb push, adb install
though if you don't want to install this nice utility, you can just install a File Browser and then install the package.
Now here's a quirk that cost me about an hour: Using the default settings, UniversalAndroot only claimed to successfully get root-access, but left everything unchanged! Only after finding a comment on some website did I try to check both check-boxes (log and temporary install) - this time it worked (it installs yet another app called SuperUser)! (I then ran it again without the temporary setting enabled, which at least did not revoke the SuperUser-Account). Anyways, adb is handy in this case again because you can just log in with
Code:
adb shell
and check if
Code:
su
gives you root access or says "Permission denied".
2) Deleting /system/etc/install-recovery.sh I got that idea from androidforums.com, and will probably never know whether it was really necessary. That just shows how desperate I became after 3 hours of poking around in the dark.
3) Installing ROM Manager from Google Market There's probably a quicker way to install recovery images, which does not involve a damn Google account! Or maybe it is not even neccesary.
4) Downloading and installing ClockWorkMod Recovery I did this using the ROM Manager. Again, there might be a more direct way. In any case, I was paranoid enough to install it twice, as it was recommended that way somewhere.
5) Downloading cm-7.2.0-hero.zip and putting it on /sdcard/ Again, I just used
Code:
adb push cm-7.2.0-hero.zip /sdcard/
to accomplish this, but my guess is you can just as well do it via USB.
6) Format cache, /data/factory, /boot and /system By that, I mean do this in ClockWorkMod (you get there by booting up with HOME+POWER). The last two locations to reformat are "hidden" in the menu partitions. This step is very important because without it, Cyanogenmod did only loop infinitely (for more than 10min) in its loading screen! I got this idea from the more detailed description at droidforums.
7) Install Cyanogenmod using ClockWorkMod That's straight forward; just select the image from sdcard and you're done!
Hope I didn't forget a vital step, and maybe it is helpful to somebody; at the very least my future ME will maybe find it useful again .
