thx it's really help,..
MOD move this to android general discussion pls..
or
OP pls close the thread
wow, so... how hard is it to find the search button? does it translate into NEW THREAD in other languages or something?
i mean seriously. if you have to post a new thread, like you life depended on it.
for reason's sake, post it in the general forum.
Maybe he thought the search button might hurt.
Would be a good idea to insert a feature that allows you to post only if you have tried the search function
But I'm always astonished how many patience you bring on to tell them people how they should do it
This problem is now fixed in the latest kernel commit, me, Cass67 and Rajko managed to figure out the problem was that /dev/device-mapper was missing due to it not being enabled in kernel.
What this means for you? When you update to the newest kernel, or my next build, you will not need to unmount the SD card any further.
oh, my Lord Dark you come here talk to your slaves.....thanks sir.
Any news or thoughts about camera issue in HD & Z builds, are any chance to solve that, without HTC source Kernel release.
Desire, Nexus and EVO Devices, have too HD, Z ports maybe working together to solve the camera code.
Thanks for you atention my lord.
Great news D! Look forward to your next build! Keep up the great ROMS.

I've just merged the changes in to my kernel and still get the problem using your FroyoStone 3.1 build. So perhaps it's not as simple as updating the kernel?
Either way, not a big deal to do the unmount. I had to do it for XBMC Remote as well.
When I unmount my SD card, I cant access the apk because its in SD card. I cannot copy it to my internal memory either.
unmount, then click install on market, then it'll download the apk again somewhere
how stable and fluid is this? i have CM6.1.1 right now and love it. and would like to try this soon but should i wait till another release to try it? thanks!
also, how big of an sd card can i put in the aria?

1. 32 GB
2. The vast majority of the nightlies have been stable. The RC is obviously going to be stable. Nandroid your CM6. If you don't like CM7 or find issues with it, restore CM6. Simple.
also when gong to a bigger sd card, can i just copy and paste all the files and have them work as before or is there something more i have to do?
thanks for any comments!
Again, will anymore of the 6.1.1 features like all the custom color pretences , eventually be put into the aria cm7 nightlys? Or are we now limited to this theme Chooser?
Feels like I'm hitting my self in the foot switching to cm7 without all of the 6.1.1 awesomeness.
(*)Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
[*]Format the system, data & cache partitions of your device.
[*]Perform a factory reset.
[*]Flash CyanogenMod.
[*]Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.

Just make sure your new card is partitioned correctly and yes you can just copy and paste from old to new. When you install cm7 it will change whatever files it needs to automatically.
I've found cm7 to be very stable and have had no issues.

I wouldn't say that the gapps are optional lmao...because then you'll have 300 people saying "wtf where's my market" k.
also, if they implement it they implement it. if they don't, they don't. if you're not happy with cm7 and are happy with cm6, then stick with cm6.
CM7>CM6 for sure.
Been using nightlys for a few weeks now and they are stable and fast. Very happy with cm7 but battery lasting only 3/4 of cm6

Can anyone explain the major updates/improvements between 6.1 and 7?
I tried to look at the Changelog on github, but its beyond my comprehension. Also, does 7 have the ability to install apps on sd built in? I ask some references to problems with apps2sd in the cm7 thread.
Thanks.

Yes a2sd comes built in.
The problems you're reading about in the cm7 thread have to do with the DT a2sd, not the built in a2sd.
EDIT: I would like to point out that DT a2sd works great for me and i prefer it over the built in a2sd as you can move ANY app to sd and still use widgets etc.. Getting it up and running after a factory reset seems to take a couple tries. That is really the only problem people seem to have with it.
Hi guys,
is anybody able to list the real differences between these 2? i need to upgrade my 2.1 to install apps in my SD, and i really can't chose between them.
More in general, i see that in relative forum threads our developers performed some improvements. is the link to download firmware at the beginning of the thread pointing to the most updated one or shall we use other download links?
thanks!
On this state of development the clean 2.3.1 can't provide you MOVE TO SD feature. It will be added later.
Even when he ads it I think I won't change my CM7 because it gives me a lot of personalization options and it's smoother and a bit faster that the AOSP .
I hope I helped you ! Cheers !
Clean is better i think
the devs are working hard but i think he is after 2.1 with apps2sd script and that crap
i never did it and wouldnt do it

Move 2 sd already works.
Have a look at this page: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features
Those are the headline features that CyanogenMod offers that AOSP doesn't.
Thanks guys. i think i will then try with Cyanogen, even if i will have to give up my wirelss headset
If all you want is just the ability to move apps to SD, have a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
Greetings. The following thread is related to FroyoBread ROM. I'm opening this thread since doixanh suggested it could come in handy. This is supposed to be helpful to all the people who don't know something or can't make something work. If you have issues - read the first post, if there is no answer - ask a question. Never the other way around. If you have a new (sensible) question I will add it to the first post along with a solution (by me or by anyone who can give it - by posting solutions you agree to my puting it into the first post).
This thread will be divided into three parts:
why this ROM?
installation instructions, tricks and issues
F.A.Q.
But first we need to make some things clear. These are as follows:
If you cannot comprehend what is written here - it's your problem, not mine. You can relate to THIS or THIS thread for information regarding things such as rooting, xrecovery and other stuff. Or learn English. I will not put things into plainer words, nor will I explain terms that are general, not ROM-related. "Hard" words will be marked in orange and google is your friend.
If you consider this guide useless - don't write in it.
This is a place for noobs. If you're an advanced user go straight to FroyoBread thread. Use this for questions, not for bug reports. Remember, doixanh is by no means obliged to visit this thread.
Ok, let's get down to business.
1. Why this ROM?
There are several reasons why you should go for this ROM, not for any else:
It's android 2.2 Froyo, which, while bootloader is still locked, runs smooth, and android 2.3 is buggy (mostly camera issues, but not only)
It's fast and contains very few bugs, which means it's good for daily use
It has lovely android 2.3 GingerBread features, such as crt animation, edge glow, and some more useful, like precise text markers. See for yourself
It's under constant development - new versions come even in three days distance
From v013 on you can use a wide variety of themes for CM7 devices!
Hope that it's enough to get your attention
2.1 Installation instructions and tricks
To properly install FroyoBread you need to have files which come with stock ROM build 2.1.1.A.0.6 or higher. You also need baseband ending with 015. You will require xRecovery to for installation. Clockworkmod recovery, for now, does not allow to install FroyoBread!
Do you have all that's needed? Good, let's get started!
Put a downloaded FroyoBread zip in the root of your SD card
Go into xRecovery
Make a backup of your current ROM in case you want to go back!
After backing up choose "install custom zip" -> "choose custom zip from sdcard" -> choose your froyobread zip file and install it. It will take a short while.
NOTE: Every FroyoBread installation file will wipe your cache partition, you don't have to do it manually. All the versions except for RC0 will preserve your data partition, so if you are updating your FroyoBread you will not loose your contacts, apps and so on.
If you are coming from any version of android that is not 2.2 - make a full wipe (factory reset). This step is not necessary for ROMs such as Floyo, Elelinux or miniCM, but it is generally good to get rid of other ROM's data before proceeding.
You may want to go to "advanced option" and wipe battery stats to get more precise readings, but it is entirely optional.
Reboot!
Now, there are some additional files you may want to install. These are themes and fixes. They are installed the very same way the ROM is, but they do not wipe anything, nor do they need you to perform any action apart from choosing them for installation and then rebooting. The list of themes and fixes can be found in FroyoBread thread.
2.2 Installation issues
Something went wrong? Phone doesn't turn on? No worries
Issue: my phone shows only the "Sony Ericsson" logo and doesn't move on!
Solution: take out your battery, put it back and get into xRecovery once more, perform full wipe. You may also want to reinstall the FroyoBread zip. If something weird happens during the installation (for example the progress bar goes only half way) redownload the ROM, go into "partition options" of xRecovery and mount USB to replace the zip, then install it again. If anything else fails, you can always restore your previously done backup of the old ROM. You made it, didn't you?
Issue: I cannot see anything on my notification bar!
Solution: Reboot your device and check settings->CM settings -> user interface -> tweak extras -> select a theme. You should have STOCK_Black enabled by default.
Issue: I instaleld a theme and <something> is not working!
Solution: Do you really need that thing that has been broken? If so, reinstall your current version of the ROM, or perform an advanced restore of your system (if you have a proper backup of course)
Issue: my GPS/radio/data/whatever is not working!
Solution: GPS works. If you have issues - full wipe. Some apps may not be compatible with FroyoBread - in this case report a bug Radio has been fixed in v007, but due to some major changes it could be broken in further versions. I have never checked it. Some themes may also cause radio to break. Data traffic, yes... it has been reported that sometimes it simply breaks and there is nothing to be done, only wifi works. Bug reported, be patient. Anything else is not working? Post a question and we will try to help
F.A.Q.
Q: Is this ROM better than others?
A: In some respects it is. See section one of this guide, or try the ROM yourself
Q: What is baseband/build/xrecovery/etc?
A: At the very beginning I put two reference links to hub threads which will direct you to the knowledge you desire
Q: How to install this?
A: You didn't read the installation instruction, did you?
Q: I have v013 beta(2), why doesn't my notification bar change when I switch themes?
A: doixanh is working on separating notification bar from the system, but in this version of ROM it doesn't work. Wait patiently
Q: Is wifi-N enabled in this ROM?
A: It was up to v012. In v013 doixanh disabled it due to stability issues. Refer to changelog for further versions.
Q: Why are CM settings in English?
A: CM6 settings were never truly translated. Maybe doixanh will include CM7 translations in further releases, but for now you need to wait or translate the xml files yourself (if you know how to extract them from .apk - knowledge is here, on XDA )
Q: Is "beta" unstable?
A: Beta version of v013 is stable enough for daily use. It has been called so due to major changes and for fear of many bugs to come. doixanh simply didn't want people to complain that the "stable" build is unstable.
Q: Can this brick my device?
A: If you do something wrong you may, of course, crash your system. There is, however, now way to brick it permanently, since bootloader is locked. For unbricking see my other guide HERE.
Q: I did all the steps from installation part, I have a proper build and baseband and yet my phone is stuck on boot with SE logo. What's wrong?
A: Did you do a full wipe? If so, then there is something wrong with you file system. Reflash the phone with 2.1.1 tft file from THIS guide, make sure you have 015 baseband and then reinstall FroyoBread. Make sure to backup your data!
Q: I cannot use SE backup and restore app!
A: Well, that's most probably because doixanh named the brand Sh!t Ericsson instead of Sony Ericsson. Change this value in build.prop and try to install again. build.prop may be found in /system and /system/bin, you need to change both, then reboot. If all else fails you may always use MyBackup and Titanium Backup from the market
Q: What modules are included?
A: By default we have x8uv, x8mddi and x8gesture in system/lib/modules. If you want x8oc simply put the .ko file in the directory and reboot, FroyoBread is designed to load this module without any further modifications in config.sh.
Q: How do I add more themes to theme chooser?
A: Go to THIS thread and choose to your liking. Some themes are available through market, some need to be downloaded from XDA and installed through file managers.
This list is to be expanded by your further questions!
Mod Edit: Ok, just deleted the quote.
Omg! That's best thread I ever see! But anyway I'm not noob I know everything what's here but its very good for noobs! Well Done! BTW I'm using froyobread v013 and its very stable

You either download some CM7 themes from the market or from XDA. The list is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056292

hello guys..
really happy to see this thread here.. thanks to dx n all devs supporting here...
im using this, frm v6 n i really love it... v14 is stable for me... awesome performance..
how do i change the power icon in notification bar, i wud like to have GB default instead of cirlce ... sorry for my request.. pls do consider n help me,...
once again thanks to dx for this wonderful rom.. n also Achep for his theme...
you want x8oc simply put the .ko file in the directory and reboot
I can't find this file...on v14.
Since you made the F.A.Q. I'll ask you the same question I've asked on the dev thread. Is Bluetooth working for you ? Because I can only use it with a 3rd party app from the market, and is annoying as hell.
hey i just got this problem.. im unable to update google maps, downloads completely but after dat installation fails.. pop up displays update package failure.... flashed v12 freshly same error occured again.. pls help me..
n i also noticed that there are no events in notification dropdown menu while der is a download running frm market, it only appears during installation....
Yeeei, i overclocked my Xperia X8, thanks for your guide.

You can either change it in framework-res.apk (you'll need default icons and xmls for that, for more see the general theming section of XDA) or use another CM7 theme (in v014 you will experience issues such as battery indicator flipping from stock to themed randomly - wait for more updates for a fix )
Since it is not an easy thing to fix I will not put in into a F.A.Q. this time

Well, last time I used bluetooth it was on v013b. Both astro bluetooth and bluetooth file manager DIDN'T work for me, I had to send a file (mp3) through default android service actually. I will check it on v014 in the morning and write something more

The solution's been found by one of the users. Here - PM this person for more information. If you repost it here I will gladly put in into F.A.Q. I cannot help you since I do not use Maps
As for download event not showing - it is a bug that has been already reported We may only hope that it will be fixed in v015

Dx is using this version of map. This version enables navigation in countrys that don't have it original. You can not update it in market.You need to completly uninstall maps and then install from market, if you want the newest version. Thanks for your FAQ post Gravier

Force Close.
Got X8 few days ago, and installed froyobread. My X8 runs surprisingly smooth, with few glitches:
1. Video recording isnt working, is there any chance of enabling it? (when i press record it shuts down app)
2. Sluggish keyboard
3. auto brightness bugs - First its ok, than it ajusts brigness after 5 seconds or so, than refuses to enlight screen
1. It should be ok in v015. If it isn't - try full wipe. If it doesn't help - report bug in doixanh's thread.
2. Which one are you referring to? As far as I remember we have HTCime mod and stock android keyboard. If both don't suit you - try some keyboards from the market
3. Well, autobrightness is still enlisted as a persisting bug in doixanh's thread, so I'd suggest you disabling it. If you'd like to keep some controll over brightness you may set a drop-down widget in CM settings

1) check for updates by reading the thread
most users recommend you wipe before flashing, so yes, your data will be erased. but there are many apps out there to backup, i.e TI Backup
2) you can't use a Sense camera on an AOSP rom
3) about QIK... i don't know as i don't use it
4) well...glad it's working, might wanna ask in that thread
5) H is equivalent to 4G. :"H" stands for HSPDA+
if this post helped, please hit the thanks button!
thanks for the reply
so to update my rom, i would have to flash the new rom through the same process i used to install cm7?

yep. just download the newer updated ROM, wipe data/cache/dalvik/format system, then install the update along with the gapps. I dont think ROM Manager supports CM7 anymore for the update notifications, so youll have to browse through the development section for updates
