This thread is reserve for nightly build of CyanogenMod Rom for HTC Desire

CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.


What are Nightly build? Auto compiled build of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version change each night and aren't officialy supported.
If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bug on CyanogenMod issue tracker).

Warning : Not for new user, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!

INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Desire (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Root your device and install Clockwork Recovery.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
4. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon

- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps, after flashing rom don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it.

CM7 HBOOT by Alpharev | xda thread
Change partition table size 130/5/302 (system/cache/size)
Require nightly #18 or newer
Upgrade instruction:
1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img'
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything, advanced restore system & data, install CM7 again (same version or a newer one).

Legacy App2SD Addon:
CyanogenMod do not officially support a2sd, i'm working on it because desire (not only) desperatly need it (cutted down Firerat script)
Bootloop free: bind mount do not cause bootloop
Zero Maintenance: no maintenance required after ROM update
Other a2sd can be used, this is just the easiest way: use recovery to partition your SD then install cm7_legacy_a2sd_rX-signed.zip
By default only App will be moved on SD
Optionally Cache and Data can be moved to SD, but is not recommended (guide)
Require GB Nightly #7 or newer
It's recommended to set the install location to "Internal" under Settings -> CyanogenMod -> Application Settings -> Install location
Before install check if /sd-ext is mounted, "quick system info" under A2SD Storage should report Total and Free space, if it report "information not available" format sd-ext from recovery.

r3: improved installation process (i hope)
r2: added data2sd and cache2sd as options
r1: first release

General App2SD Q&A:
Q: A2SD is recommended?
A: Internal storage perform better than SD, install A2SD only when low disk space warning happen

Q: How to check if is working?
A: run:
adb shell
df -h | grep /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

output should be

Code:

Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2    751.9M    146.9M    566.8M  21% /sd-ext
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2    751.9M    146.9M    566.8M  21% /data/app
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2    751.9M    146.9M    566.8M  21% /data/app-private

Q: I have installed a2sd addon but now i get low space warning again, why?
A: by default a2sd addon move only app, this is fine for most user but some user with more application have to move also cache and/or data.
Cache2SD can be enabled with
adb shell
/sd-ext/userinit.d/10cache2sdext-binds enable

Data2SD
adb shell
/sd-ext/userinit.d/11data2sdext-binds enable

reboot when prompted

HBOOT
All alpharev's hboot are compatible except the oxygen version
CM7 version is recommended ~270MB for app (stock 110MB, N1 195MB)

HowTo
Perform automatic backups of files in /system/ while (re-)flashing CyanogenMod

130/5/302 hboot is available on alpharev site
this hboot require nightly #18 or newer

this is the alpharev instruction, extended for user who already have cm7 and want to change partition layout without wipe (just slight changes on point 6):

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.
2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.
3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)
4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'
5) 'fastboot erase cache'
6) Boot recovery, wipe everything, advanced restore system & data, install CM7 again (same version or a newer).

Big thank's to ieftm & kmdm

new semi-official nightly build
(to replace the buildbot auto builds)

mirror1: cm_bravo_full_teamdesire-20110601-1925.zip size: 84M (88037737 bytes)
mirror2: cm_bravo_full_teamdesire-20110601-1925.zip md5sum: 38591bab5df5d8f57e714f7888567bdb

have fun with this - lets hope official nightlies are soon back. after 2nd hdd crash in about 2 month, chris is doing durability tests with the new harddisks first - to make sure, they dont crash again in near future.

btw: if you refer to this later on, remember, those links are on first page, third post - much more easy to find than "search a few pages back"

btw2: you bravo guys do a LOT more downloads than i get on my ace and vega builds - thats why i included bravo in todays build cycle - even though i gotta hit a civ5 lan at friends time to go now...

my dear old bravo friends, i miss you! unfortunately time doesn't allow to read this thread too often. so much happening here. see my current primary project in signature to get a clue what keeps me busy most

but since no nightlies for 3 days, i remembered you and myself some months back. and i remembered how this would have driven me insane.

get my nightly build here:
cm_bravo_full_teamdesire-20110326-1142.zip md5sum: c38983df1fe50c1c511b18fd03b31d55

even though i got no bravo to test, i am pretty confident it should work as intended! just handle it like any other nightly you usually flash.

for the people that dont know me: i started my android career with a bravo device which i later sold and used the money to buy a (very cheap) ace/desire hd.
i am a cm dev for a while and a member of teamdouche. so i usually know what i am doing. i only do those builds for ace and bravo in case there was no nightly and i got the time to build/upload one.
the reasoning is simple: i was nightly addicted, too. and it sucks to have no build in the morning. especially for multiple days.
