[Desire Android Development] kentrix.si:
I'm considering flashing new kernel cuz atm my battery drainage is awful, 25% in 2 hours with moderate usage, before flashing it was 25-30% after 5-8 hours of similar phone usage.

I do have few questions:

1. Are all kernels compatible with this ROM version: [ROM] AceSMod007 (Sense2.1+3 | GB2.3.3 | Stable | A2SD+) [STOCK | CM7] [v40 | 10/10]?

2. Will I lose my settings/apps after flashing new kernel?

3. Do I clear dalvik-cache before or after flash?

4. Which one should I use: Gingercakes0.8f_cfs_no2way_SVS.zip or Gingercakes0.8f_cfs_no2way_HAVS.zip?

My phone specs: S-ON, stock rooted, latest radio(as recommended),16gb sd, 1k ext4,

PS: this ROM is awesome and I really like it, but like i said battery drainage seems to be wrong, I already did battery calibration.

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] PeQuEsan:
1. Should be, but better you stick with gingercakes.

2. No.

3. As this ROM is deodexed, and also dalvik is an app related cache, you shouldn't need to do wipe... Anyway, bananacakes recommends it, and it won't harm if you wipe cache and dalvik.

4. Test the last gingercakes available, which in fact is 0.9 (0.8f is more battery drainer)... I'm now testing BFS HAVS... as it's a test version, you only have 2way flavour, and only BFS/HAVS or CFS/SVS... Feel free to try any. They should work.

bye!
[Desire Android Development] kentrix.si:
Thank you very much sir, very helpful answer :)

I've searched for gingercakes 0.9, it seems I can't find it :(

Tried google and forum search, but no results :S

Question... I'm using v38, so old superuser... Is safe to update superuser to last from market? I've read some problems updating binaries for the one inside v39... I don't know if it's safe to update via market anyway.

bye!
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I was on v37 for quite a while even when v40 came out and always updated from su app itself. Never had a problem. Also did that once now on v40. Still no issues. Never tried to update through market though.

=.- just putting it out there -.=
[Desire Android Development] PeQuEsan:
Yes... SuperUser says to me "su" binary is up to date... I'm talking about apk itself. v38 includes 2.3.6.3, while market is asking my to upadte to 3.0.6... Do you think that's safe? I think so, but I've read some problems for people after upgrading to .v39 (which includes 3.0)...
[Desire Android Development] drlvp:
*Grabs and Installs.....*

I'll certainly give it a go, been on 0.8f for 3 days withoput a single random reboot. Hadnt noticed any major battery problems thus far so im hoping 0.9 will be better still. :D
[Desire Android Development] PeQuEsan:
I quote myself... Finally found some kind of explanation of the problem with some SuperUser and su binary versions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315382&page=3

I've upgraded to SuperUser 3.0.6 from market, then upgrade su binary from inside the app to 3.0.3... No problem so far... :)

Thanks a lot.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
If everything works fine now I don't see a reason to update. Anyway, I think I couldn't update through market, dunno why really, can't remember now. There was a site that had all su releases in a flashable zip. I would think that's the safest way. Just can't seem to find that site again, been looking for it for over a week now. :P

What was your battery usage with 0.8f?

I just flashed my HTC with it.
[Desire Android Development] kazgor:
hmm.. with v40 i had a couple of times where the phone as turned it self off even though there was 80% battery.

On couple occassion i've see the phone flicker and then a popup saying power management has been activated, even though this is set to <25% battery was still in the high 70%

never had this issue before v40.. also using the kernal that came with v40, i haven't flashed the addon kernel.

WRT flashing kernels

the twice that I have wiped Dalvik the phone gets stuck on the HTC screen and never moves

all the other times just a flash has worked 100%
[Desire Android Development] alex6600:
Yesterday had same bug in v40. Battery power was ~85%.

Phone turned off. And no responce to power button.

I had to pull the battery, for turn on the phone.

Never had this issue before...
[Desire Android Development] drlvp:
I have to say flashing the newer kernel solved all my charging/reboot issues, its also made the rom respond much faster.

After wiping dalvik cache, it does hang on the htc screen FOREVER! it took mine a good 5 minutes to rebuild the cache and boot in the first time, after that it returned to normal. Just have to be patient with it.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

It didnt seem to bad, or at least no worse than normal. Battery has been improved with the test version 0.9 but i do have a couple of other quirks instead - (wont always wake up from standby and i get message sound but no message arrives).

I havent nailed the bugs down to what they are as i have flashed the Rom, Radio and Kernel on this phone, but im getting there - flashing the kernel made a big improvement over the stock rom one.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
@michaelm_007

After a lo-ot of usage ever since latest version came out (v40) I think there's still some stuff that need to be updated (don't care about the apps, just the rom itself). There's that Bravia engine stuff that's been added all around desire xda, acesmod007 users would want that too (me included :)), framework could be reverted back to that of v39 (has better values and more seamless transitions in brightness) and updated kernel. It's not that big of an update, but this rom has been standing still for a while now. Also, you could apply that overcommit tweak that I posted earlier and saw you updated all other roms with it. I'm not saying this rom is bad the way it is now, just that a few simple but effective updates are due. Also, I understand that uploading whole rom takes a while and modifying it also takes time so I suggest releasing just the update itself. Leaves you with more time to work on Runny, Bliss and AceS-3D. ;)
[Desire Android Development] fusionstream:
Similar bug with battery life. Battery percentage will jump suddenly but its rare.

It will also suddenly drop to zero (and shutdown) somewhere around 15%.

Power button seems to be working again though but since no one has commented on my post on that I assume it's just a hardware issue.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Regarding your strange battery percentage behaviour, you need to calibrate your battery after every rom/kernel flash. So, charge your phone fully, wipe battery stats with battery calibration app and drain it until it's dead. Then power on (it'll show 0%) and charge 'till it's full again (with bananacakes kernel you should actually leave it charging for at least 8 hours because of the battfix). This way your rom will learn about battery percentages from scratch and you won't have it shutdown at 15%. That's what I do and it works. Regarding your power button, it's a hardware issue. ;)

While I'm at work, but I would like to respond. There is an update of the days of all other ROMs. Maintaining of 7 ROM is time consuming, but I do not want to disappoint my fans. Write an exam this evening and then I head back to the more freely, for the care of my other ROMs. But come :cool:

Awesome ROM, even my camera problem(phone freezeing after taking photo) is gone after i flashed newest gingercakes 0.9 kernel. :)

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

I'm using Gingercakes 0.9 CFS/SVS.

To flash new kernel you have to boot into recovery mode and use option to flash from ZIP files, same as flashing new ROM.

Here is a guide how to do it(rooting/flasing):

http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-how-to/(guide)-rootin-flashing-rom/

Read it carefully, it helped me a lot the first time I decided to move to custom ROM.
[Desire Android Development] instillation:
Is that possible to have actual time zone files in the next version of this ROM?

Shutdowns

Hi All

Very noob at all this custom rom stuff so forgive that :p

I've got v4 on my Desire and noticed this morning it has managed to turn itself off over night. I can see other people have mentioned this however I'm on call for my job and really cant afford for it to do this. Are there any known fixes for it?

I'm currently on an old radio version because I cant find a guide on how to flash a new radio (if anyone has a link ;)). I've also seen mentiones of new Kernels?? Again not really that confident on that front so any advice will be welcomed

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
All information on radios and how to flash them can be found here. As for kernels, go over here download the 2way and/or no2way pack and extract it. Then choose one of the zips you extracted (I preffer cfs_svs because I found that one to be the most stable one so far) and flash from recovery.
[Desire Android Development] paulmh_5:
I've downloaded the radio zip which just has a radio.img file inside. Will the flash from zip option inside the recover thingy just work with the .zip? Its is basically the same process as installing a new ROM (apart from wiping stuff)? Again is it the same for the Kernels (whats 2way/no2way)?

Also does this fix the turning off issue or is that still outstanding?

I'm going to feel more noob if its just 'flash from zip' for everything but id rather ask those in the know than brick my phone :D

Thanks for the quick reply
[Desire Android Development] kentrix.si:
Yes it's just "Flash from zip" :)

(I do suggest making backup before flashing anything!)

About your shutdowns, I had similar problem, I updated the radio and kernel and recalibrated battery and problem went away, no more shutdowns.
[Desire Android Development] paulmh_5:
I've managed to install the Kernel with the recovery option but the Radio comes up with a message about the Amend-Scripting. I can see other people have mentioned this and something about a flasher program to install it, just wondering if there is a way to make the recovery install it or some nice linkage for this other method?
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
You need an older recovery that supports amend scripting (clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 or 2.5.1.8) or you can flash it using fastboot method which is explained through various threads here @ xda. ;)
[Desire Android Development] kentrix.si:

[Desire Android Development] thanito:
@all the previous posters who have trouble in flashing radios, kernel, etc:

IF you are S-off, you can use tools like android flasher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118979&highlight=android+flasher or fastboot commander http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823315 applications for windows.

This is the easiest way to flash anything from splash screen, boot animation, radio, etc.

But first of all you must be S-off so go to alpharev site for more info :)

Sadly I don't have those files. Maybe you could extract them from some of the pure 2.1 roms here.

=.- just putting it out there -.=
[Desire Android Development] rayiskon:
yes i'm looking for something stable and "nearly complete" and that i can rely on :)

i'll check those roms, or maybe some older versions of IC roms. i hope weather and mms.apk and other apps that need sense 3 lockscreen will work with the old one, otherwise, i'll need more than the lockscreen files :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I suggest using either Leedroid or SGBS since those are most recently updated ones.

=.- just putting it out there -.=
[Desire Android Development] rayiskon:
SGBS is definitley faster and smoother than this rom, but after a while i started to have sd problems (mounting/unmounting) + freezes so i gave this rom a go, will keep it for a while and see how it acts, but i can surely say that the ring lockscreen is way buggier and laggier than the stock lockscreen (since the days of IC there was no progress in that concern)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Try the new snq- kernel (111016) from his thread, it's 35.8 based unlike gingercakes 35.14 (no upstream linux update) and it's really fast. I flashed it today, already seeing an improvement. Maybe because it doesn't have any memory tweaks built in.

=.- just putting it out there -.=
[Desire Android Development] rayiskon:
I pushed the lockscreen.apk from sgbs and now i'm back to the old one,weather and mms.apk work fine,no issues at all. I'm using 0.9 gingercakes and the rom is running ok,smooth and responsive.. what i can't get is how there is no GB rom with working video recording, no one's talking 720p , but even with 800x480 sound and video are not synchronized.

Sent with XDA app
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I don't do any video recording really but that's actually very weird because we had 720p on froyo running just fine. If you don't like icons on lockscreen and still like sense 3 you could try acesmods-lite lockscreen apk. It's without icons.

running a cdma desire: so i went in to the zip file and deleted what it said to, but when i try to flash the zip in recovery it says it failed (bad). is this because of an md5? any help on this please.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
You probably broke your rom.zip. What did you use to delete the line that michaelm instructed? Redownload the rom.zip, pull the file that needs to be edited from it, use notepad++ to make changes (delete lines, add lines, correct lines) and push it back. Then your rom.zip won't be (bad). Md5 doesn't have anything to do with it.
[Desire Android Development] MattO:
What I did: downloaded the rom.zip, unzipped it. I opened updater script with notepad and deleted the line (can't remember what it says) that michaelm said to delete in OP and saved it. Compressed everything back to a zip file and moved it to root of SD card then tried flashing. I'm gonna try it again the way you said here in a few minutes, thanks for the reply.
[Desire Android Development] rayiskon:
I would be happy with normal 800x480 recording , but seems even that is not achievable. As for lockscreen,actually it's the ring i don't like,bcoz it's not responsive enough in my opinion,but as i said be4,i got froyi lockscreen going so all fine here :)

I have a development question :) is it possible to port only sense 3.5 framework/systemui to sense 2.1 of acesmod007 or is it rosie dependant? I really like those options it offers and the look of it but I don't want sense 3.5 rosie with it. I'm not so skillful with ports myself (not so meening not at all) so I could use your input before I go and paste it to acesmod myself potentially destroying my rom to the ground. My guess is if we (xda devs) can port sense as a whole it should be similar with only frameworks and systemuis. Or I got it totaly wrong?! Thanks mate.
