Test driving dGB

Hi rootSU,

I'd like to extend my thanks for your effort in creating dGB. I've been a CM7 user, but I'm currently in the process of migrating to dGB and intend to stay with it.

I consider myself a big app installer (~77 apps) and I'm simply amazed I can get everything into /data using your 60MB hboot with space to spare :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
128 here with 85MB to spare. I do use fat 32 for some apps though
[Desire Android Development] remix_88:
Cool Lock Screen?

Hi,

I've seen the lock screen image below on the dGB mini site. How do I get a lock screen like that?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That's ring. Settings, lockscreen, style options, ring
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Lockscreen style is "Lense". The background is an image (I do not know this, just guessing).
[Desire Android Development] remix_88:
But how did you get multiple apps shown? I can only choose one.

EDIT - Just found how to add additional applications :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No, its ring not lense
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Congrats on the downloads fella, there are lots of people now enjoying dgb! And so they should. Awesome rom and awesome developer. Well done!

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Wrong thread? No idea what you're talking about....
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
@rootsu, dan is there anyway of getting recent apps in the drop down bar?

also any ideas why ive always got apps running i didnt even start? seems they just randomly appear in the running tab

cheers dude
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Er. No?

And what apps? Many apps auto run. Try using 'autostarts" on the market if it bothers you.
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
right now ive got maps, a weather app and gallery runing, set cpu and settings i can understand set cpu and gallery cus i got widget set up but nothing for maps or settings even iplayer pops up sometimes
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Maps generally pops up in there and whatever weather app you use will show in there as it updates etc.

Completely normal :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
All normal. Not a Rom issue
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
only in this rom facebook keeps refreshing ?

have to close the app and reopen just to refresh.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Facebook works fine. Did you wipe? Have you restored application / data?*

*Questions rhetorical to help you use logic and a methodical approach to resolve your issue.
[Desire Android Development] Jef1991:
Hello,

First of all thanks for making this ROM. It works really smooth :)

Only I got a problem with my battery ( I guess), it doesn't charge anymore after I install this ROM. When I plug-in the USB cable, the indication light goes on (Yellow). And I can connect my phone with the computer, only it doesn't charge.

I try 3 different USB/power cables and I try it on different USB ports and also with the original power adapter. When I shutdown the phone, then the charge function works perfect. So I guess it's a wrong setting in the ROM right?

Did someone have an idea how I can fix this problem?

Thanks!

**Sorry for my English
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
yeah full wipe even formatted SD card because there was too much crap on there.

all i get is this

[ updated to newer version of facebook with same thing but this shows it more clearer that the refresh icon doesn't go away ]

Refreshing fine just when i scroll down a little bit it shows that refreshing symbol again and only way i can refresh then if i close the app or open a comment etc
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
USB "Brick"? Hows the SD card, can you view it via phone through windows?

There is no "Dont allow USB charging" setting in the ROM.

Dunno then, as I said, works fine.

That icon isnt in the latest version. In fact I havent seen facebook look like that for about 5 versions :$
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
tried latest version but its still the same only screenshot V1.7.2 because its the one i use most because 1.8 up i hate :D
[Desire Android Development] Jef1991:
Yes, that works perfect. So I guess it's not a USB "brick".

Anyways, it's working again. I don't know what it was, but it works now :)
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Did you try to update and install the latest version and see if the problem goes away? With all the changes on the app, it's possible something with the version you are using is not compatible with Facebook already.
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
@Su

how do we theme dGB in UOT kitchen? :(

Cant see the name in kitchens list..
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
You need to upload framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk from the rom itself.
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
I get a lot of random reboots. When i'm playing a video, or when I'm playing a game. Just...random. Nothing seems to cause it.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Are you overclocked?

Are the other reboots when idle? May all be kernel settings with any luck. If so we can fix with scripts....
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
I am also gettin random reboots , but jus when i try to install somethin from market or with titanium backup..wat could be the prob ?

am not overclocked also

<[~?~]>
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Is it when installing everything.or just sometimes?
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
well sadly everything..:(

from market as well as Tbckup

am on stock hboot , if that helps..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well that's weird.

Please take nandroid, then do full wipe and see if you can install any apps
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
No, I'm not overclocked. It happened again today when someone called me. It just rebooted...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It's certainly as if you're overclocked. Have you tried reflashing the Rom or an alternative kernel?
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
@rootSU

I'm trying to configure and connect via the VPN configuration under Wireless and Networks.

When I try to connect, the VPN Service dies (process com.android.server.vpn has stopped unexpectedly). Is this meant to work?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Dunno. Never used it. I guess.

Which vpn setting are you using?
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
I'm trying to use OpenVPN
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Confirm Open VPN doesnt work. Others seem to though.

To be honest, originally I was going to remove VPN all together. I'll have a play with the code next time I release.
[Desire Android Development] groovepeppy:
hi rootSU

yesterday i try to use your rom for the first time and i just love the simplicity of it

one thing i would like to ask you is... how can i workaround the triple error of signing in through Latitude when using ownhere's version of the Maps, i use it so i don't have to install any GPS app.

i hope you can help me with it.

Thank you very much.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I dont understand the question, or the requirement.
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
rootsu,

i flashed your rom...its really sexy and cute :)

just a few doubts - i flashed your 60 hboot.. i didnt partition my sd card as there was nothing mentioned in opening post about it. ive installed some apks.

with a 4 GB sd card quick system info says -a2sd storgae - no info, internal storage - total 373 mb , 314 mb free, system storage - 60 mb, free- 1.23 mb, system cache - total - 203 mb, free- 200 mb. Is that ok ? or should i be doing something different please ?

i wanted a weather and news apk thats normally found in aosp roms too.

thanks for this rom and looking forward to more releases.
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
This is probably the first time I saw someone described a rom as such. :D
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Looks ok to me. Got 314mb free.

Here is a link to the Genie Widget which is what I think you are looking for.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmhnma9f1kjvxd9/GenieWidget.apk
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
#rraaka just google for geniewidget apk for the weather/news app.
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
stankyou ..... the rom is such a delight ;)

jaykay and Charles ....thank you...i didnt know it was called that ! been away from the forum for sometime.

thank you again.
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
No worries. Welcome to the wonderful world of dGB!

I had to look what it was called as not used it for a while but tried the one I posted in the link and works ok.
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
somebody can enlighten me as to what is and what does the superfluous checkbox do??

cheers
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Nothing...
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
ha i thought it was some kind of amazing trick that would make my desire the best phone in the world!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Best phone in the world? What are you saying? You want me to code In an option to turn that off?
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
i been dying to is press it but not known what is was for i pussied out, u should highlight it like the big red button ur never ment to press!

i bet we all press it then!!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Was originally labelled "self destruct"
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
superfluous does sound more back to the future tho!!
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Maybe you can make it that the phone would reboot when you enable those options...

wait...

bad idea. :D
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
ha yeah imagine the hassle rootsu would get over that my phone keeps rebooting!!! blablabla
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
I was hoping for an easter egg on those "extra" options. But given the objective of the rom being a small sized rom, it defeats the idea.

[Desire Android Development] vivax7L7:
awesome

hi, have been using this rom for two months now and have been having a troublefree experience. Thanks a lot :)

have a couple of minor issues. apps like speedometer and beautiful widgets are not able to get location through google geocoding services. and in many places the days of the week is displayed as 1 2 3 ... instead of sun mon tue.

excellent rom...keep the good work going
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What language are you using?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Please download application from the market called locale. Set language to English in app also. Pkease let me know if date format changes
[Desire Android Development] vivax7L7:
solved:)

Hi, thanks a lot it worked :) the language in my mobile was set as hd and I changed it to english using locale setting. Now both the date and the geocoder are fine
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Actually, this poster solved it ;)

Good to have it further confirmed.
[Desire Android Development] anfield9:
Hi RootSU, I love your ROM :)

Any updates in the future? That will be great.

Btw. my battery in night (when I sleep) goes from 99% to 85-80%, i try with other kernels, but battery still quick discharging (auto-sync off, Ram Manager from juwe11 etc.) I don't know what to do for better life on my Desire, any solutions?

Greetz
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'm going to ask you to do something really annoying.

Please do a factory reset for 1 night. Do basic set up (time, alarms if necessary etc) and see if it is the same.

RAM is optimised. Please remove this and/or Autokiller. Not needed on this ROM

Closed by OP request
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
i am on 1.1 now.

but didnt have the new hboot atm.(should be no problem, or?!)

i have the oxygen hboot, i will change it when i am at home, atm just testing again)

i wiped dalvik cache and upgraded to 1.1.

i got loop at the alpharev screen.

i did a full wipe.

installed 1.1.

boot fine!

skip login.

turn on wlan.

login to market an download oi file manager.

download google maps aswell.

like 1.0 before:

- i can start gmaps

- i can start navigation, but if i choose a destination i get a FC.

2nd thing is, where i can get an google talk which i dont have to flash.

every talk2.apk i tried to install failed. (also i tried the one of oxygen 2.3.5)

do i have to install another apk first?

the FC with settings.apk seems be fixed.

thx for this rom, it looks like it could be "my new oxygen"^^
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
maybe try installin it from the system\app partition? maybe push it there and reboot?
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Thanks, tried that but had no success.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I don't use talk myself, but the ROM was actually compiled with Talk 1.3. I haven't tested the latest version or made any special provision for it in the frameworks so I don't know if the latest version would work.

If you can get a version of 1.3 it should work though.

You would need to either adb push it to /system/app or add it to the rom.zip file in the same location and reflash.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Hmm, yes just tested that and I too get that. I've never used navigation before./ I'll have to get a logcat of that at some point.

See my previous post about talk.
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Thanks, I'll explore that avenue :)

Edit - Fixed! - My fault for not checking the permissions on the .apk - set the correct permissions for owner, reboot and there it is :)
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
maybe someone else could check the navigation problem and do a logcat?

sorry about the "double post" of talk, seems i missed the post...

you can use a flashable version of gtalk, but if you take this, there was only 40kbyte left on system rom(on 1.0 - without the manu kernel)

i used this version of talk.zip.

i also installed it just now on 1.1 and it works.

BUT still i want another version/mod whatever.

or i have to use another hboot.

(titanium backup say: system rom: 104mb (36.7 free) (still on oxygen hboot!)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've got a logcat.

Not sure why. It says its beta. Does it work for definite in other roms?

dGB v1.1+ ManU kernel in 65MB /system, 3.97MB free

EDIT* I think its related to the fact there is no TTS in this ROM (removed on purpose)...
[Desire Android Development] sameee781:
Call Forwarding notification is supported in MIUI ROM. Is it possible to take this feature from MIUI to here?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It is possible if I had their source code, but this is altering the core telephony services of the android build. Its not something I feel confident doing so its not somethign I will be looking into I am afraid.
[Desire Android Development] m4rtynn:
Hi, great rom thx! Can I flash 1.1 straight over 1.0 or do I need to wipe? Cheers
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes you can. if you want to continue to use Custom MTD, you will need to flash the boot patch immediately afterwards.

I am no longer supplying these files with the roms and opted to create a custom Hboot instead. The Custom is too adavnced for some people.
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
google maps navigation is beta since release and i think it will stay for a while beta.

it definitely works 100% in other roms since beta release. i used it in oxygen 1.x until 2.21, redux, and longer time ago in villain/defrost.

last use was 4 days ago - last sunday - and i really miss it ;-)

i use it most time for traffic messages / navigate to geocaches.

so you got a logcat of the crash and confirm can it?

i'm still at work and the f***ing proxy dont let me upgrade the sdk :-(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
OK Tom, I have a workaround for you.

Download any other AOSP rom and copy out from /system/app the below 2 files:

PicoTTS.apk

TtsService.apk

Put these in /system/app on your rom (modify permissions same as the other apps i.e rw-r--r--

reboot phone, run navigation.

They only take up 37k so I'll put them in the next build.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Dan, according to barebones on cm website... only ttsservice is needed... they don't say that pico is needed... help you save room... :)
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
big THX, i will try fast as i can...

not sure if my chief let me go home right now ;-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I just put them both in to be sure. Thanks thats 25k then ;)
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Just tried it with TtsService and it works fine :)
[Desire Android Development] m4rtynn:
Ok, so if I want to switch from your custom hboot you supplied with the original rom to the "easier" custom hboot how abouts do I do that? And based on your original instructions - What's an unpatched recovery?
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
the original wasn't a custom HBOOT, it was a custom MTD.

To revert - download recovery from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039954

Then - boot into recovery and format data\cache\system then fastboot flash the recovery you downloaded from the above link. Go back to recovery and again format the data, cache & system.

Then fastboot flash the custom HBOOT image from the V1.1 of this ROM - once done go back into recovery and flash the ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Exactly right :)

You lose 2 MB with the HBoot, but it makes life a lot simpler. I've used custom MTD's for as long as I can remember but I couldn't release a Hboot without testing.... Now I don't see the point going back to custom MTD.

Just ensure the MD5 matches.
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Just realised I am unable to record video. I've tried it at different quality levels and it just freezes (the counter starts) I then have to stop the recording and exit the app - nothing is saved.

I was trying the ManU 1.4 kernel at the time so though it was that, tried it with ManU 2.0 and still the same so I just done a full wipe and fresh install and I'm getting the same result.

Can anyone else test this please? Is this a ROM issue or just my device? :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Damnit, confirmed.
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Have faith in you :) Gutted though as I love this ROM but my son has JUST started walking - need a ROM that can record! :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Just thought I could have a day off ;)
[Desire Android Development] m4rtynn:
Never used fastboot (not that I'm adverse to trying) but can I use android flasher to flash the recovery?
[Desire Android Development] theyau:
I like ur picture of wilfred
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes, its just a fastboot GUI
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
Video recording does not work also at my device.

Navigation works now, thx.

Maybe there is another problem, gmail push service does not work. Am i right? Or is it just me? I have to sync manually
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Gmail definitely works for me on that one. Try clear data in manage applications?
[Desire Android Development] johns1982:
Hi really love this rom,

but i have no 3g connectivity at all ?

Any ideas checked and 3g is enabled
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Are your APN's correct?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Version 1.2 uploaded. See first post for downloads. Thanks mattmanwrx for hosting :)
[Desire Android Development] mad_tom:
You are right. All fine now. Gmail works fine, sorry.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Don't be sorry. Better to report something as a bug that isn't rather than report nothing at all.

We're all learning here together
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Only just updated to 1.1and I had a problem that I flashed the update then the patch and when it booted all my apps had gone, yet they were still in applications yet I couldn't access them, ended up doing a wipe and starting again. Also had a problem that when I downloaded an app from the market, it downloaded but when it went to install it froze and then rebooted.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
How is it now?
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Updated to 1.1 earlier today but yet again didn't backup apn so spent the day data less :-( felt like my life had ended!

Working really nice bud. Only things I've noticed so far is the HTC flashlight app no longer works. Have tried deleting and reinstalling and also putting in system/app (which did work on 1.0) but still not working. No biggie as will just use my real torch at work :-) Also and this is nothing but cosmetic, when downloading in the market the progress bar overlaps the ratings. They are nothing though compared to how well my phone is running. Had found Gingervillain starting to become a bit chuggy but over the moon with this rom.

Cheers dev ;-)
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
You can always use the "LED Flashlight" status bar widget in Settings > Interface ;)
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
:-) I'm a bit of a minimalist snob and am not into the power Widgets on my pulldown :-)

Have downloaded another that works and also sounds like a stun gun when it starts ;-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah I found that with the progress bar, even when I was using them in themes. Its something I will look into one day I'm sure ;)

Not sure about htc flashlight. I use Tesla myself.
[Desire Android Development] :
is posible multilenguaje?
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Ok now pal, I did a full wipe and flashed 1.1 and started again, everything was fine, then I saw 1.2 was out. So I was worried about flashing it and losing everything again, but I went ahead and this time no problems at all, in fact I think 1.2 is a little quicker. Cheers dude.
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
any chance google talk can be included or at least a way i can put it on, as it seems it has to be a system app, ive tried extracting it from another 2.3.5 gb rom, but it wont install, any ideas how i can get this?

EDIT: ive tried copying the lib file and the apk, i copied the lib file no problem but the apk wouldnt copy, i know now that the combined size of the lib and the apk are over 5mb so its not possible to install it, as there is only just that spare in system.

never mind though, at least ive found my own answer.
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
Have put this one on myself and works perfectly. Flashable zip so just install from recovery.

[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Hey RootSU,

I have been following you since long. You making a rom is a nice surprise.

How is this rom different from Redux ?

Specially Redux 2 ?

Aprt from not having som apps like gmail, maps etc .

What is the other diff ?
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
Hi!

Great ROM. Really smooth and nice.

Is there any possibility to include the alternate reboot menu (reboot into recovery)?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ihlades has built Redux 2 from the ground, up. Started from Scratch I think. This is more like Redux 1.2 + android 2.3.5 minus the cpu settings, anonymous data sending - things like that.

I dont see this ROM as competition for Redux because Ihlades is a master with AOSP.

I really loved Redux 1.2 (my favourite ROM) and just wanted to create something myself using some of Ihlades' fantastic commits. The main thing about this ROM is it's size.

Looking at whats coming in Redux 2, I expect it to be the most exciting 2.3.5 AOSP ROM we have on the desire. This ROM is not an alternative to Redux 2. Its just a really small ROM for those who do not want to take up a lot of space and want to keep everything on NAND
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes there is a possibility. I just need to work out what is required to be changed in the source. Its not high on my list though as when you confirm rteboot, if you keep vol down held down, it will reboot to hboot.
