Hi Paul, not the most important thing u will read but when I was using the Nexus ROM ports I really liked the way the keyboard zoomed in & out when selected but this seems 2 have been lost with the HTC versions of Froyo.

I have a feeling it would b 2 hard 2 get this working on the HTC ROM but I did feel it gave the phone a bit more style.

If u know how 2 get this working again great, but if not I will not cry about it either.

Keep up the good work Paul its very much appreciated by all I'm sure.

Hi,

Can you please ad OpenVPN to the kitchen again? I just subscribed as I had seen it in the previous kitchens now found it's not there ...

Cheers

Next kitchen version puts that in a cookie so when you come back to the (same ROM) kitchen, your options are pre-selected.

Nice...will it work across the load-balancing?

I actually meant more as an aid for more consistent bug-reporting. So that when someone has problem X... you would at least know for sure what options they had actually baked in as opposed to what they "thought" they had baked :-)

[Guest Paul]

If you want to odex /system/app, download this file, extract it to a directory, then from a command prompt above that directory do:

adb push odex /data/odex

adb shell /data/odex/odex.sh


... wait for reboot to recovery, then enter fake-flash recovery ...


adb shell mount /system

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb shell cp /sdcard/odex/* /system/app

reboot[/code]

I'd advise backing up first, but interested to hear your results. Working fine here.

Yeah. I'll give it an option to display your build config too then. :)

The ROMS are usually in the region of 800MB. This one is 143MB. Is that right?

[Guest twe]

it could be, as im still using the card which one came with my desire (its a class 2 if im right). later ill buy a 32gb class 6 or 10 sd.

The card that came with my Desire doesn't even work, got to get it replaced by HTC. There is a thread on xda-devs I think or another forum I was visiting with a load of people complaining how their cards don't work properly.

ROMs are NOT 800MB!!!

Added Gmail 2.2.1 to the kitchen as a default option.

Added Gmail 2.2.1 to the kitchen as a default option.

Strange, I've just checked, and 2.2.1 was in the previous version (R6). Wonder why they just don't include in the final release.

P

You're right - don't know where I got that strange idea from! Sorry.

Hi Paul,

did you plan to add a uvoc kernel in this release?

This would be marvellous :)

[Guest V I R U S]

@Paul,

what will happen if i odex apps on my phone? Will it run faster or something else?

Thanks!

[Guest bbawden]

Added Gmail 2.2.1 to the kitchen as a default option.

If I grabbed the ROM before you updated Gmail, will it update from the Market?

[Guest AndrewMe]

It's fine on mine, I use trackpad and power wake.

Trackpad wake (w/o Power) is working fine for me.

+1 Yes Very much needed as my battery lasts just about a day.

Has any one tried a bluetooth keyboard with this phone yet? ( I know its randum but i user it for SSH and Citrix alot.)

Is there any advantage in including Facebook in the bake vs installing it from the market?

[Guest Whiler92]

Yes, if you removed the HTC lock screen, you will not be able to switch off the HTC alarm.

Finally, I hate too much the Sense unlock and build one without Sense lock...

I'll not use the default alarm till a Paul's update?

Hi Paul,

No, I've not found them to be very effective.

I selected Titanium Backup and it wasn't installed. Tried 2 times.

Backed= installed to /system partition

Market= installed to /data/app

this is it :)

[Guest Whiler92]

I selected it, and it was :)

[Guest gianton]

No.

P

Is there another way of upgrading to the new Gmail app other than baking a new ROM and flash again? :)

[Guest Paul]

Download from the link earlier in this thread, boot to recovery, mount /system and push to /system/app.
