That's missing the whole point of dGB (currently on <another rom> with a2sd which is why i haven't had to look at Touchdown's space usage before)
 
You can still use the native "move to sd" functionality. I also move all games to fat32 too, regardless of if they allow or not.

85MB is huge. Maybe it syncs too many folders or something, or deleted items?

Anyway the point is not to use scripts to move apps to a wasted, pre-allocated ext partition. Using "move to sd" you're using exactly what you.need, nothing more
 
oops, just realised that might have been what JDY meant as well, apologies if i misunderstood :)

Yep that's what i thought - nope syncing Inbox, Sent Items, Calendar, Contacts only

tbh never even crossed my mind going back to GB "move to sd". But i think Ti batch restore will try and put everything on internal phone mem. Can i do move to sd for all games using current rom with a2sd, then back them up in Ti, then batch restore once dGB flashed? Or am i going to have to restore games individually in dGB, move to sd, then a batch restore missing apps?
 
Theres a setting in Ti somewhere that will restore to original location, so if its backed up on fat 32, it will restore there :)
 
Right guys...have a quick question, has any had issues with connecting to wifi. As all I seem to get is trying to obtain IP address. Now the wifi with the same password worked fine on redux2 oxygen but all I get with dgb is trying to obtain IP.....any help available would be great as I want to try this Tom properly!

Thanks for the advice, but have tried both the eng and multi lang versions and still cant get wifi, which is a right pain.

unless you have some other ideas / things i could try guess I will have to stick with an alternative rom (cant have everything I suppose)

thanks anyway
:(
 
When did you download them? Did you try downloading and flashing the kernels on the site?

It's a kernel fault. The files that went up on 28th had this issue, but all fine since. So its either kernel fault, dodgy data restore or some other thing.

This is a Rom for advanced users so you already know how to fix it anyway ;)

I can help but you give me no information to work with.
 
Done a fresh download of both tonight. I have not tried all the kernals yet so will give them all a go in the next few days and let you know how I go. The roms did seem to take a while to download tonight so will give them another try later as well. ... its just one of those annoying situations that life sometimes gives u .

Dont know why but would not work on 60mb hboot but does work fine on 65mb hboot. Oh well 65 it is then. Thanks for a slick rom and your help
 
Is there a way to set a pin lock but delay how long it takes to enable it? I've been looking in the delay options in lockscreen settings but can't seem to work anything out... :/ if its not possible no worries, just wondering if you could?

It doesn't look like the delays are working at all, even with the lockscreens. I don't use the cm lock screens so didn't realise.

Will look into it for the next build, sometime in the future

Edit. Got it working with sliders partially, but after re enabling and disabling widget locker, it didn't work again.

Can anyone who only uses the cm lock screens please test the delays with sliders?

Mine is immediate too,[even with a 1min delay set], but that is how I like it.
 
Hi everyone and hi SUroot! Happy v-day all!

I am new here, but got in contact with SUroot on his google site comments -- until it vanished. o_0

Well, I wanna help point out stuff about the great dimweetive rom that's why I registered here.

About my phone:
I never dropped it, but sometimes I want to throw it when it starts to hang from overheat. Got fed up with charging every night since day 1 - came from Nokia camp and this was a BIG downer.

Have been lurking about some android sites a few weeks and eventually chose slim over features. Installed CWM, s-off, custom hboot 65MB (so I can add the full fallback ttf for my lunar calendar) and 11072011 a few days after my b-day and have been very impressed and delighted ever since - dgb made me forget about my Nokia. :)

I thought that would be the end-all upgrade, until I visited SUroot's site and saw a new version. Upgraded to 01282012 (w/o wiping after reading reply to Jon lol), upgraded the kernel and re-added the fallback ttf.

Some weirdness I noticed:
1. After upgraded dgb rom only, then reboot, desire totally hanged while displaying lock screen (foreground) and usb cable connected (background). I have sim PIN security on, but didn't see that appear before this happen. I workaround by removing the batt. All seem fine after that.

2. The camera shortcut has become invalid. This applies to launcher, go launcher and lock screen shortcut. I workaround by removing and adding it again.

3. In Lockscreen > Unlock options, selecting only Menu unlock does not enable Disable unlock slider option. Also, the Menu unlock option does not want to remain enabled.

4. Lockscreen and pattern security still don't like working together. I guess this is ok. At least the others work fine, but I think none of the lock delays are working.

5. In Lockscreen > Style options > Choose background, I'm only having problems with Custom image. Only File Expert and Quickpic are my choices since I have them installed. If I use FE, I can pick a picture in my SD and it would display "background changed" but going to lockscreen does not display that picture. Enabling screen security does not display the background either. I then tried selecting a smaller image in FE, but same results.

I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading!

[EDIT]

6. Is it safe to update Superuser in Market? The first time opened My app in Market after upgrading dgb, it tried to update itself automatically. I think I was able to stop it.
 
1. I wouldn't worry too much about one off things like this

2. The camera has changed. If you had a shortcut somewhere (saved in /data) then that shortcut becomes wrong when the Target changes.

3. Hmm yes it appears menu unlock isn't working. trackball unlock is however

4. Lockscreen and pattern security don't and won't work together.

5. Thanks, also not working

6. didn't know there was an update. I put the latest at the time in the Rom. If it will fit in system, its safe

It just made me panic, but I like the newer camera so far.

I'll treat it as an easter egg atm, thanks for confirming.

This one made me wonder. Not to nitpick on dgb, but I used this combination just before I left sense. I miss it, but I can get over it.

This feature reminded me of the ipaad, it was the time when I felt down with the desire and drowned my misery on li'l pirates. I would stare a bit at the lockscreen before swiping. lol

After stopping it, I checked both market version and installed version. same. Again, it took me by surprise so I panic cancelled it.

And I don't know why I panic so easily now. 21st century gadgets are so pretty (prone to bricking). :/
 
I'll look at the lockscreen bugs fopr next version, when I get chance. It was a monster to port, so I probably missed something out somewhere.

The only problem is CM have changed how the lockscreen operates in the source, so the same source is no longer available that I ported from.

Thanks for letting me know though. As i do not use the lockscreen myself, these bugs tend to go un noticed.

I will try my hardest to fix them, but at the end of the day, it may be that the broken features are simply removed. I will try my hardest for that not to happen though.
 

Well OK, it's not a massive amount of downloads in the last 2 weeks since release - but its the most dGB has had in such a short time.

Let's face it, dGB is an extremely specialist ROM, it DOESN't Have HTC Sense and is NOT ICS! Given all this, I think this is fantastic news!
 
I cant afford the effort involved in being your bodyguard to be honest, trying to protect you from girls who want to lick your face...
 
Tbh, these things that don't work or don't work as intended aren't deal breakers for me and I can definitely live with the current version until this phone bites the dust. But realizing how much effort you put into really polishing dgb makes me feel it would be disrespectful to say such things.

So for all the time and sweat you put into it, I say keep up the good work and I truly look forward to the next version. :)
