As always, loving your work pal, keep it up! I always come back to dgb when I try out different roms, its just so light and refreshing no clutter and best of all that it's barebones android. Love it!
[Desire Android Development] nokli:
Here's another thing you could add to any new update rootSU.

Should be simple enough for most users to install themselves really but I think

it's worth adding to your next build.

[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Do you think it's needed? I tested GPS today on a clean install of the latest build, having not used GPS at all for a couple of weeks (so certainly a cold start), and had an 8 satellite lock with 4m precision in less than 5 seconds. Took a couple more seconds to reach 9 satellites and 3m, at which point I turned off as it was clearly working just fine. I can generally get 10-11 satellites if I give it a little longer. In other words, the ROM already gives me the performance that this patch claims to deliver.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Keep bringing cool stuff to me like this.

Unfortunately on this occasion I agree with hadron. But please do keep this stuff coming!!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Edit: remove joke (which was aimed at myself, but potentially unclear)
[Desire Android Development] Markolic:
I love the rom

This is the best Rom IMO for the desire. all the others are like laggy and flashy and stuff but this one...so speedy. I used some extra programs to make it faster, i dont know if they do anything but i used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353903 tweakv4, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236779 universal adrenaline shot and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276 supercharger.

Playing with supercharger v6 at the moment. Not sure on that one tbh. I can see what it does but some of it I was already doing
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
GPS was always a problem for me and many occasions I could not get a fix. Could be my location in Australia?

Anyway that patch worked really well for me..... Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
I know there is/was a problem with the lockscreen showing the wrong % but I can't get it to show the next calendar event. Is there an issue with that or is it just me?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Did it work previously?
[Desire Android Development] nokli:
Hmmm, I certainly don't get that.

It's used to take at least 10 mins for me to get a lock when trying to use the Google sat nav turn by turn function. The patch fixed things for me.

[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
I am not sure as I never used it before, just the battery part of it.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I dont know if it ever worked either...
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Just tested mine and i got 7 satellites and a lock within 20 seconds.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Actually I accidentally put 10apps2sd in the zip in /system/etc/init.d when adding scripts. Its not supposed to be there, you can delete it with no harm. Sorry.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You can use the a2sd killer flashable zip from the data2sd thread for doing that.
[Desire Android Development] pinttas:
Ok.

Thanks for the answer.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Doesnt get a hint, this one.. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It uses custom MTD's as per the link in post 1. An alpharev Hboot will waste lots of space which is why it uses MTD's. You don't have to but its pointless otherwise. The first post does state that it is for advanced users, so if you do not understand custom MTD's, the ROM is not for you. By the way, it doesnt patch the boot loader, it patches the boot.img of the rom (or any rom).

You have to format system, data and cache from recovery then fastboot flash an unmodified recovery, then format them again.

OR alternatively, you can change the mtdpartmap.txt to values you know your previous ROM (Backed up) will fit in and do the following:

boot into recovery and perform a wipe data / factory reset

in recovery - format system, data and cache

reboot recovery, flash A_dGB_Recovery_Prep then REBOOT recovery

Format system, data and cache AGAIN

Nandroid restore your previous ROM

Flash C_dGB_Boot_Patch.zip

I must say once more, if you do not understand custom MTD's, this ROM is NOT for you. It is for advanced users only.

As for the force closes, Already mentioned that a few posts back.
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
#Droidzone cheers for that. I used Winrar to delete it from the ROM and Root Explorer to delete from phone before a fresh full wipe and flash.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I see that the good mods have cleaned up the mess in here.. Kudos to them..
[Desire Android Development] Meaple:
No worries :D
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
The only thing I've found up to now is that when trying to toggle wifi using power control widget it doesn't work. Yet if I try a 3rd party toggle it works fine, or going into the settings and toggling it there is fine. Not sure if this is part of the fc fault. Its not a biggy but just though its worth mentioning.

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I assume its unrelated as my wifi toggle in notifcation works perfectly. Did you do a full wipe? Did you restore anything?
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
ducky1979 what launcher are you using because the only problem I have is the Power Control doesn't load up properly. I am using Go Launcher. Not an issue really as I can use Widgetsoid for the same thing.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Update

Updated V 1.1

Change log:
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
I'm using go launcher aswell, the widget loads no problem its just that the wifi wont turn off using the widget, I have to go into settings or use a 3rd party wifi widget. And it also at times wont turn on via the widget.

sent from my Desire running dGb v 1.0 Rom DEVELOPED! by SU/rootSU
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Yeah did restore a few things using titanium, and to be honest I haven't tried using notification wifi toggle, I was using the power control widget. Ill test it and edit this post.

EDIT, using notification it works perfect, but just noticed that using power control widget I had the fc, so the power control must be linked to settings which is having the fc's so I reckon that's where the problem lies, ill update the rom and test again,

Can I just flash the updated rom straight over or do I have to start a fresh?

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
just flash it initially. If you have any issues, wipe
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i wont be able to flash this till next week. while it looks stable im just about to go away for 5 days and so i need to keep my current rom

looks very tasty
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
flashed 1.1 and the issue with the Power Control not loading up seems to have been dealt with. Added it to a screen, rebooted and it loaded up no bother. Cheers Dan.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Cool. I look forward to your feedback. I just hope the transparency isn't too bad for you.

I swapped out the Boardconfig and surfaceflinger with CM7 ones. But maybe for me its a case of once noticed, always noticed. Maybe you, coming from a ROM that doesn't have the issues.

It is very stable as far as I can tell, no wthe FC issue is resolved.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Oh thats good news!

I've still not had any FC's yet
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Absolutely love this ROM - Well done mate! Have to say I'm completely happy with every aspect of it, even more so now you've fixed the Settings FC :)

One question - How do I go about getting Talk back on there? I've tried taking the .apk from GingerVillain and installing it but i get a 'Application Not Installed' am I missing some other files?
[Desire Android Development] Shining_knight:
Thank you for an excellent ROM. No more A2SD+ with my crappy SD card!

So far, works like a charm. If the lockscreen battery thing is fixed, it would be perfect. :)
[Desire Android Development] ciocu:
can I have an md5 sum for the 01_28_2012 eng version?

cause I downloaded it several times (with and without download accelerator).. and in the recovery, when trying to install, i get a "can't open ..bad" error

or maybe i can get the file from another download source?

thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] veL17:
Hi,

I'm using this rom and i love clean AOSP rom.

but i've a trouble when using wifi.

it's stuck on, "Obtaining Address....." can anyone help me?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
I can't seem to change the date format. Is it a bug or I'm just stupid? But to tell you honestly I've made some minor modifications.. removing/adding apps and whatnot. So if anyone can verify that its working on an unmodified rom install, I'd appreciate it. I don't have time to check it myself since I'm done with restoring my apps and everything and its a pain already. Haha.

Overall the rom is fast. I like it. :D

via xda app
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
There is no md5. The source is fine. Please download it properly, its probably due to your download manager?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Did you download it on the 28th? If so there was a problem with the very first upload that would give this error. Either redownload the Rom and reflash without wipe, or download and flash one of the kernels
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If I change it in settings, I can see it changes the order in "set date" too. Does it for you? Where else do you see the date string?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
It changes on the time and date settings page but notification and some app I use like simi clock widget doesn't even if I set a custom format. Right now it says 2012 2 1 on the notification bar when its set to default on the time and date settings.

via xda app
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Mine says February 1, 2012 in notification bar
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Darn it. I might have broken something then. Lol. I'll deal with it some other time. Thank you.

via xda app
[Desire Android Development] ciocu:
maybe I'm just unlucky.. cause I downloaded the file with google chrome, internet explorer, and then with download accelerator plus (and, with every option i tried for 4-5 times..)

as a last resort, I'm trying to download it via the phone's browser.. who knows, maybe it'll work :(

:( even with the phone's browser, I get the same error :((
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Which file name are you downloading?

Its possibly your SD card. I will generate you one. Download to Computer and compare. Then move to SD card and compare.
[Desire Android Development] ciocu:
i'm downloading dGB_01_28_2012_eng.zip

I will check my SD card, to see if it's ok

strangely, the md5 on the sd is different from the md5 on the computer :))

so, i need to take care of my card :rolleyes:

thank you once again for the help
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No probs. Download h2testw.exe to check the card for errors.

keep up the good job with this project
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What was the issue?

@rootSU I flashed an unmodified version of dGB with multi language this time and it also exhibit the same thing with the date format not updating on the notification bar. Thoughts?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Wipe?

How does it display? It should be "february 1, 2012" and it shouldn't change
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Yes full wipe. Here is a screenshot.

the issue was with my sd :(

i formated it, copied everything back, copied a proper dGB on it, verified md5.. and it worked :(

now i'm trying to see what's wrong with the data connection, as it doesn't turn on :)))
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
Do you have the apn's configured?
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Dgb doesn't contain any apn lists so you need to either restore a nandroid, get apn backup off the market back up and then rewipe and start again or find your carriers apn setting and manually input them.

And no I've had no problems with the date. Mine displays the same as rootsu said.

so, this morning I can say I have a fully functional fast desire, thanks to rootSU' dGB
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Man thats weird. I honestly don't know whats going on there, sorry.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Yup, same for me.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Your date also shows like that?

Could it be a language thing?
[Desire Android Development] stankyou:
No problem. I can live with it. It doesn't seem to break anything else which was my only concern. Thank you. The rom is smooth I should have tried it sooner. Good job. :)

via xda app
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Most likely.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Can you check what happens if you set language to English please?
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Strange, just realised there is no English to choose. (multilang version)

Maybe multilang is too big to fit 60Mb hboot and something messed up when flashing?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ah forgot about that. No it fits fine...
[Desire Android Development] veL17:
it's work. Thanks..
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
i cant seem to get any picture messages any ideas anyone? i hit the download button says downloading and nothing
[Desire Android Development] dan55:
hi,

did you setup the data apns after flashing?
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
yeah just been on the vodafone website ive set them all up but still wont download pic
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
Seem to remember something like that on one of the roms I tried ages ago. It wouldn't let me download a picture that someone had sent to me whilst I was connected over wi-fi. Once I turned my wi-fi off and I connected to the mobile network it would then download. Not sure which rom it was though as it was ages ago (but not this rom).
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
yeah ive tried using wifi and mobile data, i can acess internet so i no data is working seems strange

solved my brain does not work at times. just needed a reboot sorted
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Glad it all sorted
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
I found the cause and the solution for the "2012 2 4" bug on the notification bar.

It happens because no locale has been selected (and none can, English isn't available on the multi-lang version, and no languages at all appear on the English version).

I just fixed it installing MoreLocale2 and selecting English using it.

Great ROM, although I had to wipe data because it started not detecting the SIM after a day of using it :confused: Might have been a random failure.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thanks. Still dont understand how though, when the locale shouldnt need to be selected.

Will ensure English is selectable next time :)
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
dan anyway of turning on the vibrate when powering down?. just personal thing really,

otherwise you have 90% converted me! great rom
[Desire Android Development] mcampbellsmith:
@rootSU

I was reading your comments in the eviolet kennel thread regarding the 'sleep 30' line in the startup scripts.

I saw that the 95dGB_tweaks file has a 'sleep 30 in it.

Can I remove that line from the file so my device boots faster?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes you can. I have done and all the tweaks are applying. The sleep 30 was legacy from when I first started using custom VDD's and they werent applying. Just used it ever since, although it is not needed and slows boot by 30 seconds.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Vibrating when powering down is the default action of AOSP Roms.
[Desire Android Development] dan281082:
ok no worries ill just put up with it!
[Desire Android Development] zenitraM:
The SIM issue happened again after wiping data :confused:

After a day of use or so, it starts not recognizing the SIM card. Sometimes it recognizes it back after rebooting to recovery and wiping cache, sometimes it doesn't.

This hasn't happened until I installed last dGB, the previous one worked fine a few months ago. I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or what. Have you changed anything related to the RIL or something like that?

Will try with another kernel, RIL, and another ROM later and keep you informed.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Nope, not touched the RIL. It doesn't even use my favourite RIL. It uses the most compatible one IMHO (and always has).

Try restoring a nandroid from previous version and see if it still happens.

Thats just the zip size. The size that matters is the /system size, which unpacked is just under 60MB
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
got a problem with the keyboard, does't show suggestions :/ weird
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The keyboard and launcher are very cut down. These are only for initial set up and if you have to wipe as a fall back. The onus is now on you to install a good keyboard and launcher of your choice :)

use go launcher pretty good, need a good keyboard with suggestions tho anybody got ideas?

I just delete the LatinIME.apk from the zip and replace with the full one that I've linked below. Love the AOSP keyboard and this works a treat.

You will need to change the size of the installation partition to install this though as its 13mb. If you're on the custom hboots might be more hassle than its worth.

dan, youve put on ur mini site that 60,3 is recommended, is the 3 big enuff for the cache to still download from the market ok?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah be means the notification power widgets. The ultimate online theme kitchen ones are smaller, link posted above.

dGB doesn't use the cache partition for market downloads. 3 is the smallest you can get it with custom mtd, but if it were possible, 0 would be better
[Desire Android Development] lukyjay:
Cool thanks for the uot link. Battery life is much better now by the way. I guess with time, it's fixing itself. Not sure why your Tom has this issue initially.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It's not the Rom itself. Must have been something odd going on with your phone recording battery
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
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!

[Desire Android Development] LfcFan1977:
And the achievement should be all the sweeter considering the new versions here are not usually about bug fixes but updates and tweeks.

Well, I think they are, not completely sure because I'm still on v1.3 (ain't broke so I ain't needed to fixed it). :D

Maybe the recent downloads are because of people trying to run ubuntu (and seen your posts over there) but need something a lighter???
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You don't need to change the format of the mtd.
