This started for me after DF 2.9, I'm beginning to think it might something to do with new gfx drivers.

On the sensor level screen, it adjusts the changes to the button level okay, but the screen level stays stuck at whatever it was at previously. It always seems works after an unlock. This is the same on OD as well.

This was recommended my Richard a few when asked about he proeblem.

If you reset the amount of levels to 5 and enter..

0 25 255

200 55 255

400 70 0

1000 70 0

3000 250 0

It should let you make the changes, you can then adjust as you wish.
[Desire Android Development] steCkmeiSter:
I had the same problem with the locking phone. Also had to pull the battery! Gonna try the SVS now B-)
[Desire Android Development] phrenzi:
No lock-ups so far.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
No lockups for me thus for on 4.1 with the HAVS kernel, at 1113 MHz.

On a similar note, would it be possible to re-add the 1075 MHz increment to your kernels richardtrip? I want to overclock a little bit, and always thought that 1075 was the optimal performance/battery life for my usage. :)

Thanks again for all your work!
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Lockup for me too, missed alarm and had to pull out the battery (HAVS 1267 MHz with SetCPU active).

EDIT - Just had another lockup, this time SetCPU was not active. As the device goes standby, it freezes.

Switching to SVS.
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
Big Batterie draining with the new DF 4.1... lost 40% in 60min using Internet with edge ... svs Kernel ...
[Desire Android Development] woehrl:
same here with the battery drain + freeze,

haven't charged by phone overnight, had 40% when I go to bad, and was dead this morning. Turning back to 4.0 now
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
4.1 stock kernel.

No issues at all, nice, quick, great battery life. Thanks Richard
[Desire Android Development] Ranger2350:
Hi all,

i have no problem with DF 4.0 and HAVS Kernel.

Best Battery result ever.

Switched from 3.9 to 4.0 without wipe.
[Desire Android Development] mitchmao:
Battery life

I'm reporting my experience as regards battery life of my device under DeFrost.

I'm now still on 3.8 (HAVS@1075 via SetCPU + 245-384 conservative on ScreenOff) and I've been running it since it came out... some days ago.

I have to say that as I go on battery life gets better and better every cycle. I get no lockups, no freezings, no issues whatsoever.

This is just to say that, apart from the natural instinct of flashing cutting edge updates 30 secs after Richard uploads them (which I have been doing regularly since the low 2.x, Hail to the Developer!), it is also a good idea to settle on a stable build, once in a while, and enjoy a stable, thrifty ROM.

Thanks again to Richard for his much appreciated work.

Have a nice day all.

-- EDIT:

then again, if I really wanted a phone to forget in my pocket, I would have bought something boring like... Nokia maybe =)
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
Which havs Kernel did you install and are there freeze in the Browser? In DF 4.0 my Browser get freeze after some minutes and only batterie out helps ...
[Desire Android Development] mitchmao:
no browser issues. the HAVS kernel was the 1267mhz version from some days ago, with OJ fix.

after that (which I'm using) others where published I think.
[Desire Android Development] Ranger2350:
From Defrost Setup HAVS 1267MHZ@1300 MV more stable oj fixed.

I use Dolphin HD with no freez.
[Desire Android Development] m8tix:
Hi fellows,

I flashed yesterday 4.1 with the havs 998 kernel and everything was fine until I woke today up, got a black screen of death and realized that I was a little bit too late for work. I had to remove the battery otherwise it wouldn't react on anything. I think I have to rollback to 4.0 because this was very stable for me.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Never mind :confused: just locked up.

Switching to SVS kernel @ 1113 MHz now
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
For those of you that have flashed 4.1 and were using the "interactive" governor previously, remember you will have to reset your "setcpu" app.

Mine defaulted to "powersave" governor which I am sure will be the same for you all as well. Switch it back to "on-demand" this might be the cause of your lockups.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Hm, yeah...maybe I should flash back to that kernel. It had my favoured 1075 MHz setting, and I don't recall having any issues with it whatsoever.

It's just sooo tempting to always flash to the latest =P
[Desire Android Development] woehrl:
@Lennyuk

what do you mean with "reset SetCPU"? Clearing the preferences?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just open it up, press menu, then "device selection" and press the middle option which is "auto detect" then make sure you have the "on-demand" governor set for you main profile (and then correct any other profiles you set up if they are wrong)
[Desire Android Development] m8tix:
Ok, I got another black screen with no responsiveness from the device :/
[Desire Android Development] phrenzi:
Ditto... Thanks Richard.
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
Unfortunately, I don't use Set CPU, but had experienced lock ups
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
4.1 Out there or not

I have download the 4.1 through defrost setup.

But it is not mentioned on the title here or on the first page... ?
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
No one knows where to get the android icons?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
probably due to XDA being down when it was released
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Same here. I did have a moment when I looked at the phone and panicked! Black screen, no buttons worked, plugging the charger in had no effect, not even an led. Only thing to fix it was pull the battery. Thing is, it happened as the phone was in sleep state. So I didn't know it was locked up till I went to check for a text message.

That was using the havs 998 kernel. No setcpu
[Desire Android Development] m8tix:
Yep exact the same happened to me too now twice, DF 4.1 with havs 998 kernel without set cpu :(
[Desire Android Development] youlsa:
same here.

After some BFOD(Black Freeze Of Death?),

installed 1113MHz SVS kernel and it seems OK for about 8 hours.
[Desire Android Development] m8tix:
yeah I probably will switch now to svs 998 and report back.
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Yeap! Count me in
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
It does appear to be the HAVS kernel causing the issues. I had an LED notification running though. Back on SVS and I have had no issues so far.
[Desire Android Development] Dunbad:
I had it on the svs kernel.

Haven't had it yet on 4. 1 but I've only just flashed it. But I see many people have had it on r4. 1, what was the last release, to NOT have the black death? I can't afford to not have a working phone or alarm. Good luck with a fix for this Richard. Your efforts are appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] ninja.rogue:
I totally agree.

Great Rom indeed
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
After 3 hours today (since unplug) granted, with very little use, but still on 100% battery.

This is the best battery life I have ever seen from my desire so far.

[Desire Android Development] puttitat:
Contacts import via Google works like a charm for me.

Thanks for a great job, porting the FroYo!

Anyone who has got their LED working again with 0.6, or should we just wait for an update, for the LED to "get going" again? :-)

If hosting is needed for the 0.6 files (including the "fixes"), feel free to PM me, then I'll set up a mirror.

[Desire Android Development] ownhd2:
How do I import via Google ?
[Desire Android Development] puttitat:
At first boot, it asks for you to set up your Google account. When done, it automatically starts syncing contacts, Web Albums and Calendar.
[Desire Android Development] puttitat:
By the way, Market seems to be unable to find the "Beautiful Widgets" app. When asking Beautiful Live Weather to unlock, Market says it can't find the specified app, even though I clicked a fixed link...

Too bad, 'cause the HTC Sense is addictive :(
[Desire Android Development] asci:
Never mind...I found the answer...

:P
[Desire Android Development] puttitat:
Duh, I'm on danish market. Hacked, now Beautiful Widgets works like a charm! :)
[Desire Android Development] asci:
Sorry but, where did you find OC only DeFrost Kernel? I thought it could be DeFroST_0.6_kernel_nouvoc_audiomod, but it's not OC.

THX!

I want also to report a small bug:

in Youtube widget search button doesn't work, I have to remove/place again widget in order to have it working...temporarily.
[Desire Android Development] ownhd2:
Im waiting for my contacts on my sim to show, i get the message "contact list is being updated, please wait"

is this right and how long does it take to finish as its been like this for 5 minutes

Thanks

I hope so m8,& wait update
[Desire Android Development] Dredwerker:
ahh thank you maybe I should switch to Ndrive
[Desire Android Development] Dredwerker:
I shall give it a try - I am not entirely sure what it does as it seems to refer back to my static ip that i put in and not my DHCP. hmm I shall play. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Epedemic:
Is nandroid restore broken for images of this rom? I can make a backup just fine, but when trying to restore i get "Error : Run nandroid-mobile.sh restore via adb"

I can restore a MCR 3.1 nandroid backup just fine erasing this froyo rom.

*Edit* Never mind, it worked if using AMR recovery found elsewhere on this forum
[Desire Android Development] FalkenX:
I dunno if if this is reported;

Bluetooth works, but the phone wont auto-connect with a registered bluetooth device. I have to pair it over and over again..
[Desire Android Development] nbedford:

is it possible to include this:

[Desire Android Development] Epedemic:
Why would you want that once the official froyo wifi tether is fixed and working?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
open your defrost setup app, its in there, but 90mb (it gives you the weblink if you want to download it on your pc instead of phone)
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Make sure you download it by WiFi. Otherwise you have to pay data charge :-)
[Desire Android Development] man00va:
I seem to get an error when installing from Clockwork. Something about cannot chown something? I am now restoring from Nandroid as rebooting just went straight back in to recovery.
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Good (or maybe not that good) to see that i'm not the only one with that locking up issue.

I actually was about to write "Since the 2 times last night it didn't happen again so far" but while i was writing it -> dead again.

Seems to be an havs-only problem soo i gonna try a svs kernel too.. hm.

(4.1)
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
oh man, 4.1 already? (Bring it on :D)

I am on 4.0 with HAVS 1267Mhz kernel, battery consumption is astounding. I thought it was a fluke that it only consumed 2% battery when I put it to sleep overnight for 9hours.

I did it again the second night, for 10hours, it still consumed only 2% :p

oh, I've tried EVERYTHING to make this ROM hang, forced close, black screen of death. NOTHING will cause this ROM to freeze, it will not lockup :D

That includes stress testing it with SetCPU for 5hours.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
lucky... ive had a few reboots in like a period of 20 minutes
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
That probably comes down to the CPU, every CPU has different die characteristics - I run my PCs heavily overclocked. I have never had two CPUs that overclock the same. For example, my current core i7 will run 4.3Ghz easily with a tiny increase in core voltage. Another that I've sold cannot run stably @4ghz with the same voltage.
[Desire Android Development] ardsar:
HAVS definition

For those who are still unfamiliar with what HAVS is

Hybrid Adaptive Voltage Scaling (i.e Voltage changes according to processor speed)

SVS - Static Voltage Scaling (no change to voltage)
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
yea i think ill choose the 'more stable' version from defrost setup (i.e. 1113MHz)
[Desire Android Development] aerynity:
I am experiencing good battery life too ;)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Umm. Not quite.

As I understand it (I'm by no means an expert) SVS has a set voltage that it uses for each CPU frequency, like a simple table:

(Note NONE OF THESE FIGURES ARE ACCURATE, I've made them up for example's sake...)

1.3GHz 1350mV
1.1GHz 1275mV
1GHz 1150mV
900MHz 1080mV

etc

HAVS is a bit more complex - it uses the core temperature as a third variable, so

1.3GHz >40deg 1350mV
1.3GHz 35-40deg 1300mV
1.3GHz 30-35deg 1250mV
1.3GHz 20-30deg 1200mV
1.3GHz 15-20deg 1150mV
1.1GHz >40deg 1275mV
1.1GHz 30-35deg 1225mV

etc etc etc

It basically makes use of the fact that silicon behaves more efficiently at lower temperatures.

Since you're running your CPU at a lower voltage, it is therefore expected that you will get better battery life.

[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
OJ with 4.1

I note that 4.1 (and possibly 4.0, I never tried it) fixes the problem with Launcher Pro and the OJ.
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
Brilliant explanation, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
thanks! great explanation!
[Desire Android Development] ardsar:
OK thnaks - this time google was not my friend LOL:)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Unfortunately, that's not the case: after my first lockup I uninstalled SetCPU and rebooted the device. A second lockup followed in minutes.

Now, running SVS @1267 MHz since this morning and all is running just fine.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
ahahahaahah
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Exactly where yuu can find all Richard' stuff: right here. ;)
[Desire Android Development] jason4656:
ok on 4.0 still 24 hrs with no lockups on the 1267mhz kernel, battery life seems acceptable but not as good as the hero i have running froydvillain rom.

How can i tell if the cpu is running at 1267 in quick system info i only ever see 998 at the max when i flick back to it??

thanks
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
You can use the System Information page of Quadrant.
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
The 4.1 Kernels don't seem to be setting the CPU speed at bootup (the 1267Mhz HAVs kernel definitely isn't), so you have to run SetCPU and get it to set the correct frequency.
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
It sets it. After first boot (after installing new kernel) you must go in SetCPU and change the frequency setting to 245 and then back to the desired value to refresh SetCPU's settings. Then reboot and see that it's working (at least for me, with the same kernel)
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
That only works for me if you have 'Set on Boot' enabled - I'm certain that with 4.0 I didn't need SetCPU at all.

Nope, wrong - 4.0 needed SetCPU as well - sorry, the 'problem' was that 4.0 was just so reliable that I had no reboots or any reason to restart over the weekend, so I didn't remember setting the clock rate with CPU on Friday afternoon.
[Desire Android Development] jason4656:
ok done that, it shows a max freq of 1267.2 and current of 998.4mhz

i havent set anything at all with setcpu though like others were asking
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
4.1 has died on me twice in the last hour, first with the standard kernel, and then with the 1267Mhz HAVs kernel, so I'm going back to 4.0 until 4.2 surfaces.
[Desire Android Development] santhrax:
running on 4.1 with HAVS @ 998 MHz - so far no problems except:

WorldWar from Storm8 is startin but after a few seconds it restarts itself and it quits :D
[Desire Android Development] vivmar:
there's no black status bar for this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
go into CM settings you can change the colour yourself.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
I changed to SVS 1113 mhz kernel from havs and haven't gotten a bsod yet
[Desire Android Development] m8tix:
yeah switched from havs 998 to svs 998 and till now I have not experienced any screen of death yet. :)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I've had two; one on HAVS and one on SVS (I reverted after the crash on HAVS).

That's assuming the flash worked; how can I tell what version I'm running now?
[Desire Android Development] mikecsmith:
Have been having issues since 3.6 with camera crashes, wifi sleep/disconnect and black screen crashes. Have rolled back, hows 4.1 holding up?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
All rom's using 2.6.34/35 kernels have a reboot/hang problem. Please post your /proc/last_kmsg when your device rebooted (as an attachment please). Should help Kali- and defer to fix this.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
is it better to install setcpu or dont install setcpu?
[Desire Android Development] mortenaasnes:
4.1 has crashed on me with both havs and svs. Really getting on my nerves this now...
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
Did you a full wipe or update from a further rom? I use the svs 1183Mhz Kernel and till now no probs with crashes. With Havs the DF often crashed and freeze.... now everything is ok with this kernel...
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
If you want your phone to run faster than 1Ghz, you must have Setcpu installed
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
so ts not enough to install the oc kernel? i must install setcpu to overclock?
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
i also reverted back to SVS, because, after such a BSOD I had huge difficulties to reboot the phone, it always rebooted or it was stuck on the boot screen.

But well, if I have another crash I'll report back.

A few other general suggestions:

In your DeFroST App you have a changelog, great. You have the update/themes/mod section, perfect. And then you have an odd settings tab, which is rather empty and I don't really understand the use of 'Post System Satus'

It would be perfect if you add at least an info with the current installed DeFroST version and current installed Kernel module (HAVS, SVS, what max clock, ...)

You've added the voltage to your HAVS Kernel, please also add this to the SVS Kernels and not only in their detailed description, e.g. SVS 1113MHz@1275mV

Do some better advertising,

add a screenshoot of your DeFroST setup to your first post, with a small more detailed explanation, how shall people know that you offer such a nice tool? Which even includes Themes!! And makes changes so easy.

update your APPS2SD description with APPS2SD+ which requires an EXT partition, so it's more clear that this ROM also supports this A2SD method

what does DeFroST mean, in your case? I know what the word means, but what does it mean for you, which upper case F and ST? You need an own Boot logo. I don't like having the Nexus One boot animation (which looks creat, I admit :) ) on a HTC Desire. And the rotating 3D Desire doesn't look that impressive in my opinion. That's why I ask what DeFrost means in your case, so maybe someone is motivated to create a custom boot animation.

About the camera: i recorded a 25 minute 720p movie in my car :D

It is 23 fps and 1gb!

This is with defrost 4.1.

It looks smooth .

Must note this is with a class 6 card
[Desire Android Development] twicejr:
Richard, is setting the havs values hard? Would it (in theory) be possible to create support for modifying these ourselves, eg on sd card?

I ask this cuz the 800 mv on 2.x worked so great on my (and i think many others) desire
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Just suffered a lockdown after a full wipe & restore of apps+data only (HAVS 1267).
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Richard, I don't have such a file once rebooted: have it to be activated in some way?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Would do but I've rebooted since. Will do next time.
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
Yes, the kernel allows the phone to overclock, but it always boots @ 998Mhz, so you need SetCPU to increase the speed.
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
hi,

on htc sense original rom(2.2), i had under settings -> location & security -> set up screen lock a chance to set a timer when pattern/pin or password should be set. it has nothing to do with the screen off timer.

would it be possible to implement it in defrost rom?

sorry for my broken english.

cheers
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
Is it possible to modify the camera app so it uses the volume hardware buttons as a shutter?

If you rotate the phone the 'other way' and have the rotation option in CyanogenMod setting for 270degrees enabled, the volume buttons are perfectly placed..

Any chance?
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
richard, here is a log of a BSOD (black screen :P)

params: 4.1 @ 998mhz (setcpu downclock)

# uname -a

Linux localhost 2.6.35.4-bravo-2.6.35-r1 #24 PREEMPT Sun Sep 12 10:27:04 CEST 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux

The log is here: http://bisko.be/tmp/xda/last_kmem.txt (xda has small limits, sorry :))

Another interesting thing - Previously I was able to reboot the phone via Power+VolDown+OJ(click) but now it seems I can't, like the whole thing is down, even the hardware, responsible for the buttons (if they even fire a hardware reboot on the phone, I'm not entirely sure) and I need to take out the battery.

Also - before (on 2.6.34) I was able to adb shell when the screen was dead, now it doesn't even register that the device is plugged.

[Desire Android Development] BSAB:
Is there anyway that when you press the POWER button, one of the options would be to reboot into Recovery mode?

Cause that's the only reason I open up Rom Manager at all these days, heh.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
...the option IS there, you know :p
[Desire Android Development] BSAB:
Really?

Pressing the POWER button, I get 4 options:

1 - Silent Mode

2 - Airplane Mode

3 - Reboot

4 - Power Off

Did you mean the Reboot option?

I know I can press the BACK key while rebooting, and then get to the Recovery menu after a bit, but I was wondering if there would be a direct reboot to Clockwork Recovery, no fuss in the middle, so that it would make it easier to install Defrost upgrades.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Hit reboot, and it'll give you the option to do the following: Reboot, Recovery, or Bootloader
[Desire Android Development] BSAB:
Unfortunately not here, if I hit Reboot it just, well , reboots, no prompt.

Running 4.1, but I haven't done a full Wipe in god knows how long, maybe that's the problem?
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Hm, that's probably it. I pretty much do a full wipe every single time I flash. Titanium Backup is my friend.

It definitely is in and has been in all the newer DeFroST roms.
