I haven't been able to update or install any new apps for some reason. Always says ' Installation of xxxxx unsuccessful. I changed the default installation location to 'auto' but still the same issue. This has been happening for me since 5.0. Any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Check your free Space at Apps2SD with Quick System Information. ;-)
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
Using low autobrightness settings helps, as does making sure apps are not updating themselves all the time. Don't leave WiFi on if you don't need it. Make sure your battery is calibrated.

My phone is sat at 61% after 9.5 hours unpluged. I've sent maybe a dozen SMS, a short phone call, and probably 2 hours of web browsing/ fiddling with the phone. I just set autobrightness up to custom values again, so that should help with the battery. I'm running the 5.3 HAVS kernel.

If I turn off 3g when I'm not using it, my phone draws almost nothing, I assume if I was in a better reception zone (-97 to -109 here at work) I'd have better battery life.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
I don't think that's the issue, I have about 50mb free RAM and 8Gb free on the SD Card.

Coupla newb questions if that's ok... would like to try this mod but...

I have a SLCD screen Desire, with Clockwork 2.5.0.1 recovery, SD card formatted with an EXT3 partition (currently using LeeDroid 2.1a ROM, 32.44 radio).

1. Is DeFrost compatible with all the above? Just full wipe, flash and go?

2. Do I need to erase the SD card and/or ext3 partition to get it to work with DeFrost's A2SD+?

3. Can I still use HTC's people/contacts/alarm clock/dialer apps/mail/messaging/news with this ROM, or do I have to look for complete alternatives? (I plan to use LauncherPro, but all these apps worked on LauncherPro when I had Eclair 2.1.).

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] onyxogen:
It's true indeed. Same problem with flash player here. Thank-you for the explanation.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
1 yes

2 would recommend starting fresh, but don't think I did.

3 no this is NOT a sense based Rom. Only app is fm radio

Short nut to the point ;)
[Desire Android Development] Cyanoid:
Thanks for the quick response, Dan. :)

I was very tempted to try the well-reputed DeFrost because I'm looking to get the best battery performance out of a ROM. But I really like the simple design interface of HTC's apps (like alarm clock, contacts, music player, etc) and every time I try an alternative, its way more complicated or missing essential functions. So, little point in pursuing this even if it does offer better battery. Started playing with SetCPU, and that's the one thing that has made a difference. Went from 15% battery loss/hr (with screen and wifi on but not active), to a more stable 10%. And I still haven't taken the time to actually configure the app from its default setting....
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
You should do a full wipe prior to switching to an AOSP rom...but you don't have to format your FAT32 partition by any means.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Well different people seem to be having different battery life experiences with DeFrost. The only way to find out how well the battery treats you is to try the ROM for yourself.

Concerning the apps you mentioned, since DeFrost is an AOSP ROM, you won't be getting any of the HTC apps. However, IMO, the alarm clock, contacts, and music player found on DeFrost (which I believe come with any AOSP ROM ?) are more than suitable and simple for any user's daily needs. But still, try the ROM for yourself, install Launcher Pro on it, and see how you like it :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
sorry, my answer to 2 is just about ext partition, not FAT.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its all the stock vanilla android stuff. I prefer them
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Tried HAVS kernel again and I'm surprised by how fast it drains my battery compared to SVS :confused: How could it exhibit such good battery performance on one phone (which is the case for most of the users) but such a bad one on another phone (my case) ?
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
How do you get led flashlight in the status bar widgets? Its greyed out for me :(

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well I believe the only other variable is CPU temp which allows a more dynamic scaling rather than the static scaling of SVS. I'm not sure if the temp has to go up or down for the extra saving, but is it possible that your cpu goes the opposite way to what lowers the voltage, therefore increasing it?

I really don't know. I don't know how it works really, but who knows?
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
Hello,

I'm experiencing some strange "lockups" from time to time on Defrost since 5.4

Here is the symptoms - phone not touched for hours (e.g. I'm at a cinema, watching a movie). When I take it out and press power, the screen comes ON fine, but then a surprise - no way to unlock it. It's like it doesn't register my fingers at all, nor the other buttons. Then if I try to turn off the screen (via the power), the screen doesn't go off, but it goes to half brightness and stays on. I have to wait another 15-20 seconds for it to go off on it's own.

The only working button is the power button, which when I hold long enough brings the power menu, where of course I can't "touch" anything, because it's frozen. If I try to use the trackball to choose "Restart" I have to do it several times, because even the trackball is not very reliable in this situation - sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes I manage to "fix" it with some weird combination of button pressing, touching the screen, but after the fix, the phone becomes super unstable.

It will for sure freeze in such a way again in a few hours. Then also will start system-reboot (crash and directly to the flashy X, without going to HTC's white screen). Also it looses signal from time to time, but this is extremely rare and happened only twice since 5.4 (by this I mean that I get Emergency Calls only until I reboot the phone (through power menu)). I have to manually fully restart the phone through the power menu and then it is all OK, until the next time it freezes.

To sum it up - it's like the screen just doesn't respond to my input.

And also every time this happens I'm so far away from logcat, sorry :)

[Desire Android Development] danarama:

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I have no idea where that file is located though. Do you?
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
almost the same ^^

Normally the HTC Desire has 576 MB RAM, and I thought this should be accessible somehow.

But ok, last time I searched without success, this time however, I found my answers.

It's normal to have only 400MB, the rest (180MB) gets used for the kernel, radio, ...

I just thought that with Froyo the full 576MB are free, however, it seems it just was a myth.

So sorry for the question.
[Desire Android Development] Kas206:
Can you please update to the newer Youtube app. I cant seem to update it through the market.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its in system/app in the rom so you can't update. Go to sdcard/defrostsetup/5.7/system/app (assuming you are currently on 5.7) and delete YouTube.apk either on your PC or in astro file manager (or similar). Then reflash.

Although thought 5.7 had latest version of You Tube?

OR, use adb shell to remove it if you don't want to reflash (long way round though):

http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/158131-how-easily-remove-installed-system-apps.html

OR if you have S-OFF, just browse to system/app with root explorer and delete it.

First option is the quickest and easiest if you haven't got S-OFF though.
[Desire Android Development] onyxogen:
It's in /system/build.prop

I think it's the "fingerprint" that gets checked by the market.
[Desire Android Development] onyxogen:
Well, maybe it's something different. I definitely need someone that knows what filters an application like adobe air from my market on defrost 5.x

I spoke with the developer of vPlayer and he said that he specified that the device needs support for "neon" (hardware). Maybe this does not get reported properly in defrost? The stock desire has no problem in finding that app.

Richard, do you know if the rom reports such thing to the market in any way? I'm stuck here.
[Desire Android Development] Kas206:
Google updated the Youtube app to 2.0 a few days ago.

I just tried the the first option. Im getting a verification error E:Missing file /system/app/YouTube.apk when i try to reflash it.

I tried deleting the apk in /system/app with root explorer but but somehow it reappears after a reboot.

I tried uninstall -r youtube.apk it come back with a "FAILED" error
[Desire Android Development] stoske:
I use DeFrost 5.7 and I can download Adobe Air and vPlayer
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
I do. I can't install the white icons from the setup, but I can install the circle mode. I didn't try the rest.
[Desire Android Development] stoske:
Yor Desire is s-on (like security on), so deleted apps returning after reboot.

What I do, first download Rom, then delete apk's that I dont want (file manager, torch...) and replace some apk's with new one's...like semi-trans genie widget, new youtube, custom htc ime keyboard .... :-)

Than I flash ROM :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you haven't got S-OFF (you would know if you have as you would have had to do this yourself), then when reboot, dalvik cache replaces youtube.apk.

How are you reflashing the rom?

So you delete the youtube.apk from the rom zip file then reflash the rom zip file right?

EDIT> ah too late
[Desire Android Development] Kas206:
Yep, I deleted the youtube.apk from the zip and tried flashing it again. i even tried replacing the youtube.apk with the new on but it still came back with a error. I used recovery to flash the rom.

How can i take S-Off?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its a bit long winded to be honest.

Not sure why you get that error though, I don't get it. I always remove .apk's that way and reflash successfully.
[Desire Android Development] Kas206:
I just seen a new 5.7 version with updated youtube app has been re uploaded :)

Time to flash again

Thanks guys!
