[Desire Android Development] Souldrinker:
I've been thinking the phone has used quite a lot of battery lately, but it's been mentioned that the Tiamat kernel is battery hungry and I'm usually close to a charger (at work, in the car, charging every night) so I haven't given it much of a thought. But yesterday the phone was fully charged when I went to sleep, so I didn't charge it. Then in the morning I had only 55% battery left about 10 hours of not using the phone at all.

When I looked at the battery usage I saw that Google Maps stood for 79% of the usage and that the GPS had been running for almost three hours?! I did use the Google Navigation briefly (a few minutes) while geocaching earlier in the day, but hadn't used it for hours before charging it full and not at all after.

Was this a temporary glitch or do the rest of you also see this kind of battery drain from maps? Could this be related to the GPS issues I usually have in the morning where the GPS don't work until after a reboot or starting GPS Status app?

While I'm writing maybe I can ask again if I should be worried about the following two lines from the Aroma installer?

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x02980000

mtd: not erasing bad block at 0x08a00000

Is it as with PC hard drives that it's a sign that a total disk crash is probably imminent? Or does nand storage work different and a few bad blocks is ok?
[Desire Android Development] Shiftone:
Nand devices always have a few bad blocks. It would have had them when it came out the factory.
[Desire Android Development] danwooller:
Anyone else have an issue with the pattern unlock accepting any pattern as valid?

6.1.1/stock, etc
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The most recent (6.0) should work fine with it... I don't think there are framework changes for the latest releases... Cannot check myself as I cannot download the torrent (at work) to check...
[Desire Android Development] alex_android:
Droidwall, any users out there?

Been using this from for a week now and its been fantastic! Just one thing that I can't find on the forum...

Droidwall (the firewall app) says its working but its not. I have never had a problem with it on any other ROM so just wondering if anyone else on here uses it and is having issues.

example. I've blocked market and opera mobile from using data but I can still connect even when not on wifi.

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] itachi1706:
Nope. Pattern lock is working perfectly here. Try resetting it.
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
I agree. Maps is a battery hog in this version. It takes up 13-20% of my battery even when I've not opened the Maps app even once and while the GPS is off.
[Desire Android Development] EasySR:
Had once the same after flash and restore data with TB. Just set it once again and it worked. :)
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
firstly - top rom - again I must show my thanks and respects :D

but regarding battery usage and switching off

I just had the phone switch off at 20% battery, (wasnt getting this on previous builds) Have a stock hboot and using juice defender (just in case that has any baring on it)

also just an idea for a future update

in Leedroids rom there was something better with the sms messaging, whereas you could press and hold "to" and actually scroll down the phone book picking your contacts for a multi recipient text

I know that when you start typing recipients a few names come up to choose but it isnt as usefull as just going down the phone book and ticking the ones you want :cool:
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
That could have been a sense feature... :)
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
^ :D with envy

any one know the best radio version to use for this rom in UK on virgin/tmobile?

working fine for me on three but a friend has his 3g dropping out alot :confused:
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
I tried that one, but it gets stuck at the splash screen

here's version 0.6.1.1: http://johnassel.de/~jonas/android/Beta_0.6.1.1.zip
[Desire Android Development] Keefo:
Have the Nikez thingy been removed now? as it was driving me nuts! haha

Also, I have had this rom freeze on me a few times recently, anyone know what could be causing this and what I could do to fix it?

I did a full wipe before I flashed the rom.
[Desire Android Development] Boyeah04:
Been using this kernal for almost 4 days now, and have had no black screens using ONDEMAND. I have had the odd issue with the screen not waking up after being locked, but in all honesty it seems pretty responsive.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Framework is the same, so it should boot fine! :)

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

The rom might freeze, that is why it is a beta ;) However, you can try different kernels to "fix" the "problem". I was using Tiamat kernel (not using rom any more), but i think it is Tooby_D who has a kernel out that people are trying!
[Desire Android Development] Boyeah04:
Heres the link to the latest kernal from Drewis/Toddy_d

the speed is slow... Any help?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Is there anyone with Handcent SMS to confirm non-working notifications since 4.1.0? People with Gingerbreads says that they're ok.
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
My new battery shuts down at eight per Cent whereas the old one dies at 14
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Is this the kernel in 0.6.1.1 or a later version?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It is standard kernel with added governors (i believe)..
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
That's the one I'm using then (on smartassv2 because I had a BSOD on ondemand). Might experiment with the various governers to see what the battery life is like. Never too far from a charge to worry too much though.
[Desire Android Development] danwooller:
Thanks dude, looks like a Titanium restore problem, the setting was set to Slide, pattern now working fine.
[Desire Android Development] HiVoltage85:
I tried Apex launcher on v 6.1.1 (data++) and it worked with 6.97 free System storage (using Quick System Info). I don't know how to check for free space when I try the stock launcher as the launcher won't work then and I'm not able to run any apps
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You could try pressing the search button and searching for quick system info... Might work....
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Graphic artifacts

Last two releases work well but then start to develop graphic artifacts are a few days use. Mostly flickering when opening web pages and ghosting of dialogue boxes. Usually solved by reboot. Minor annoyance, but I thought I should report.
[Desire Android Development] ghost+:
Im using Go SMS and notifications dont work either, It vibrates ok just no sound.
[Desire Android Development] funkymagicuk:
Yes your latest patches continue to work on 6.1.1.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
I've had graphical glitches on pre-0. 6.* versions EVERYDAY. Current 0.6.1.1 is working flawlessly for 2 days as for now. I hope that something was actually fixed (:
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Probably, not sure though, but thanks for testing out the other apps. will have a look into it but can't test much out before i get home
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Pretty much both. It's not more bloated if you click on stock install. Then you get it exactly as it was earlier. Only differenece is that you have more options. This is so the thread doesn't get filled with a million questions on how to install a2sd scripts and will it work etc. It uses a bit more bandwidth (probably 30-50mb extra) but nothing else.

Speed and stability is beeing worked on all the time. I can't build anything myself (or at least not any big things) as I'm traveling so I got to forward fixes to drewis who again add tehm to evervolv git where they wait to get approved. As you can see that's a bit more complicated then it was earlier. But Nikez have synced sources so he might be able to help so we can try fixes a bit faster.

but 1 month and 1 week till I'm back (for 14days before I leave 1 week to spain) after that I'm back in norway for good with 2 months holiday, so hopfully I can get some done then
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Maps version in the ROM isn't changed. So that got to be a google issue. Havn't changed anything else that should affect either gps or maps.

Have you done something different (other kernel/gps choice in aroma/ hacked maps)? Just trying to find the problem
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Can you tell us when maybe?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
as soon as we get it workign:P but it's "ready" so 30-40 min hopefully
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
What about the WiFi in CM7r2 version? I do not complain, just asking.
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Great news mate, check your inbox, I sent you images. :)
[Desire Android Development] noottt:
Great alpha! Is there any way to get the CM settings to work?

Sent desire using XDA App
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Tried earlier to get that to work. Gave up on it, took to much time and didn't work. So if someone want to try i'll always add links to first page. But i don't have the time

Sorry
[Desire Android Development] WallnutBoy:
Please add 'trackpad' under the NOT WORKING column.
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Okay, thanks. :) But there is absolutely nothing to feel sorry for here. ;)
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Well, you are right, no one should be sorry, because it is not hard to change your hboot to stock.

I did that, and I am still alive........ I think. In fact, I am dying to see new ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] ilijevski:
could you include galaxy nexus boot animation??
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
ran into some troubles will try for 10 more min, else i'm going to bed.

Bootanimation doesn't work beacuse of the hd hack, tried to sort that earlier today.
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Yeah, bootanimation should be great addon in new version.
[Desire Android Development] ICWS:
Does anyone know how to convert my ext4 to ext3? A zip to flash or something else...

Because it didn't boot with my ext4.
[Desire Android Development] koenvbeek:
4EXT recovery has this functionality built-in. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154221
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Gparted. Reformat ur sd-card is my advice.
[Desire Android Development] RealyPssd:
So it's confirmed to not work with Ext 4?

Aren't Ext 4 and 3 supposed to pretty much be the same thing?
[Desire Android Development] dravenSt0rM:
Worked for me with EXT4 :)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
We have no idea when camera will work. Not really in my interest atm. We're working on other stuff. I cant see why you would want camera before lets say.. working A2SD.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
No new release today. Didn't get it to boot, some stupid error. Got to go to bed.

I can give a yellow non working bootanimation(looks like your screen is broken) but nothing better then that atm. But we're working on that to.

I doubt i'll have a chance to release anything until 17-18gmt tomorrow at the earlier, but I'll try to get it up as soon as I can
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Soon my friends, soon. Not too many days left now. After the 14th there will be fireworks ;D
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Great:) Then I know, don't need more checked out, I know that I still need to free around 2-3 mb and it should be good to go.

Edit

Then i think most questions have been answered. Been on the bus from Cambodia to Thailand all day without 3g:( And I didn't get internet at the hotel before 1 h ago. Even had to pay for it:P Going to sort 3g as well tomorrow if I find a provider that's not to expensive.

Anyway I'm going to bed. If I didn't reply to some posts it's either because I've said it many times before or that I don't know the answer:) I write up every issue though.
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
Is it only my phone that the lights dont turn on, on start up (buttons at bottom) unless i select auto brightness first, then set it back to non auto?

also, apex pro.. any better?
[Desire Android Development] moss20:
I read that some users have videorec problems and other user don't..

I'd like to know the ROM configuration of the users that have working videorec...

let me know please...
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
I've got the same issue, however not sure it's 100% maps related. Noticed gps stays active very long, like it can't get a fix, which in turn drowns battery like a raging bull
[Desire Android Development] galom:
I did have graphical glitches, I removed Google chrome and haven't had them since.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No, was for me when using this rom... must be a call to proximity/light sensor somewhere...
[Desire Android Development] dkcep:
Mms working fine for me. it doesn't matter if data is on or not. (:

edit.

I havent had a bsod since i changed cpu governor to conservative (:
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Oh yeah, Sandvold. The build completed. Ad-hoc didnt work. Other devices can connect to it but thats about it.

I havent had anyone to test BSOD (No one has had it yet)
[Desire Android Development] tobby_d:
It is not the same kernel as in 0.6.1.1.

It is the latest build from drewis, which has several changes in comparison to the stock kernel.

But again, I added governors there.

Really good battery lifetime with ondemand.

Someone reported bsod, but fewer than stock.

However, I had none yet (running for more than 6 days now).
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
I *think* I installed the hacked version which allows for navigation in all countries. I am not a 100% sure though. :( And sorry for not mentioning in the first comment itself.
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:
i have a really bad problem, probably with the a2sd script.

in my internal memory there are 50mb free and when i try to download something from google play it doesn't install due to low memory space.

i think there is something wrong with the dalvik cache.

There is the possibility to fix via terminal using the a2sd commands?
[Desire Android Development] galom:
I am also finding the 0426 kernel with on demand to be stable and great battery life. Up time at 56 hours and plugging in at end of day at 40% instead of 18-25% with tiamet and snartass v2
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Great, can sort the ad-hoc manuallly:) Did you test video/youtube?

btw french guys don't think the sim-eap will be included. Really doubt it will work. If anyone find me the documentiation that desire has the needed hardware I'll try again, but at the moment we will drop this.
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
A friend of mine, who's paranoid about battery usage, always ends up uninstalling the latest maps because of battery drain. So as to my opinion could well be a problem with maps.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
This ROM or another?

If someone have instagram problems, try this one (might also help some cam issues)

http://w477052.open.ge.tt/1/files/7uNKY6H/0/blob?download
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
Another.
[Desire Android Development] Merzhin:
EAP-SIM supported ?

Thanks a lot for your work, Sandvold!

I'll try to get it and hope that will be possible...;)
[Desire Android Development] degoo:
Three days with this kernel and ondemand governer. No BSOD and yes, great battery lifetime and no lag even with games.
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Just flashed the kernel and I've had 3 reboots with ondemand. Might be a coincidence but 3 in 10 minutes (phone not being used) is a little suspicious.

I'll leave it with ondemand and if I have another reboot I'll try another governer and report back. I have had random reboots before but it had settled down.
[Desire Android Development] danwooller:
What was the resolution with GTalk?

I've not had it working since .4 I think, I may just have to go out and buy a One X!!

6.1.1/stock, etc
[Desire Android Development] seekified:
Does this ROM use a different A2SD method from what I might be used to? Initially I only moved the apps to SD which I think is how I've always done it, but I quickly ran out of space. Moved appdata and dalvik too but now the phone is too sluggish to use comfortably even though I've got a good Class 6 card. I thought moving the apps directory would give me A LOT of space for apps because of the 1GB sd-ext?
[Desire Android Development] jdstrydom:
Had the kernel now for a few hours, ondemand governor, no reboots or funnies so far.
[Desire Android Development] seeding11:
Apologies if this has appeared earlier in the thread (I tried searching), but I wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed that your phones are reporting an usually high percentage of time without a signal? I was using version 0.6, Tiamat kernel, stock hboot, radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and found no signal time was 25%+. This happened two days in a row and I hadn't been anywhere unusual. It's usually between 0-2%.

By the way, everything else was working very well - the amount of work that has gone into since I tried an earlier version is amazing :-) I have only temporarily returned to GB because my Desire is my only phone (sorry).
[Desire Android Development] mhulsegge:
How do you see this time ?
[Desire Android Development] tobby_d:
Random reboots are strange, especially if they are happening that often.

Did you flash over a fresh installation?

Maybe try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Maybe, you run somehow out of memory (which nevertheless should not run into a reboot)?

Try using zram and ksm, both supported by this kernel.

Could there be an app / script, that might read out and somehow use the kernel version (what about v6 supercharger? This might cause problems...)?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Don't move anything to sd then sd-ext isn't any point

I use amarullz and have a good amount of apps installed. If you do some searching then you can see that ppl have issues with the stock a2sd (not taht good it seems) and there is also solutions for the problem.

I personally use amarullz and is happy with that even though I have a slow SD-card
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I havn't heard of this before. Can people confirm this. I'm travelling so much around the country that i bet my connection drops because of that all the time so can't really be a good test subject myself:)
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
In stock battery statistics :)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Did some testing and non working video is an error with the build (the one built from source) going to try getting nikez to make a new one and hopefully that will be enough
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
Thanks! Never noticed this before :o
[Desire Android Development] seeding11:
It's in Settings, About phone, Battery, Battery use: What has been using the battery, Cell standby. If there has been any signal loss, there is a listing under "Time on" that says "Time without a signal" and a percentage. The path may have been slightly different in ICS but I don't think so?
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
System>Battery>Cell Standby

I've had 10% time not connected.
[Desire Android Development] Tasandriel:
After a few days working with 6.1.1 I've come accross a few minor issues:

- The statusbar on top doesn't show any notifications (email, installed apps. etc) when I drag it down. There are only the icons for WiFi etc...

- Battery use is very high, about 50% more power is being consumed with the same amount of usage compared to Android 2.3

- Even if my Desire is not in call or receiving a text message, I often get the beeping sound on my speakers that you normally get when you are about to receive a text msg.

For the rest everything seems to be working fine.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
The first one:

Did you restore settings with titanium backup? This caused the same problem for me. If you don't do it it should work

2nd one: We're aware of it. If you read a few pages back then ppl are reporting good battery with tobby_d kernel with ondemand govenor. I myself use conservative governor and am happy with that.

3rd: Have never heard about that before. BUt probably it some radio that try to search for something. Try troubleshooting what it might be. That would be helpful
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
Mine says 7 % but I wouldn't see the ROM responsible for it but my Operator :)
[Desire Android Development] siavash2death:
hello sandvold.i downloaded your rom (0.6.1.1) but when phone tries to load the rom, it stucks at a black screen! in other words,instead of displaying a boot screen animation i face a black screen and i had to remove the battery. i tried 3-4 times,but nothing happens... i tried with cm7r2 hboot and stock hboot! what should i do?
[Desire Android Development] funkymagicuk:
Isn't it...

System, battery, mobile standby

Shows me 0% time without a signal (the *#*#4636#*#* menu shows I've had 67 hours up time since installing 6.1.1) since I last came off charge 7 hours ago.
[Desire Android Development] jim2san:
At first full wipe phone works middle fast (is ok for desire), 3G(connected) and wifi(connected) still very slow (apps and browser), needs 10seconds to open and many times say app or browser no response (wait od close). After few days or after open few apps phone came laggy and very slow. Need to open app or menu or dailer 10seconds.

Hi All.

Just installed this ROM, loving it. I did a restore from TiB, and I see that "Internal" still has 647mb free - however I worry that SD Card (a2sd) only has 21.8MB free. Is there a way to get more space on this partition, in case it gets full?

[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Update from eariler. With the ondemand on the "new" stock kernel I'd had 3 reboots for no reason then it was OK for three hours. I've since had another 3 in the past half hour, again with no warning.

I'll try another governer and see what happens :

Kernel 2.6.38.8-sayniarb-ics-stock-042612.....

Beta 0.6.1.1

Trying conservative now.
[Desire Android Development] itachi1706:
I don't think the dropped signal is a problem with the ROM. Probably with the operator or the radio. Try downgrading the radio. I think that because I have near perfect signal. 0% dropped signal.
[Desire Android Development] cbstryker:
Can anyone help me out with the a2sd on this ROM? I've tried both the stock option and the "Regular a2sd" and I cannot get either of them to work.

And yes, I partitioned the SD card, (I bought a 16GB class 10 specifically for this) and enabled via terminal (su, then a2sd install).

But it doesn't seem to work in either case. And with the stock version Titanium Backup doesn't seem to restore, it just sits indefinitely at 0%.

Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Can you save log when you install in aroma (there is an option for this)

would give me some more information
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Nothing to worry about:)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Try amarullz (i prefer that so i always recomend it.

Titanium works great for me, but I need to keep my phone awak, else it won't work
