Cheers, I've not heard of Hiren, do you know which utility I should try?

I can see the files, they are in lost.dir, with numbered file names and no file extension. Adding the extension doesn't help because they are grouped bundled into large files, most of which are approx 10 meg. There must be a way to get them back, but Google searching is just finding other people asking the same question.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That's right. For every file that is stored on the media, there is an entry in the File Allocation Table.

In fact, even when you delete something, it remains until over-written. The file allocation table tells the OS where there are files and where there are spaces.

Obviously when you save to the media, entries are written in the FAT and the files that are no longer referenced in the FAT are replaced with the new files.

The applications to find data essentially find it without using the FAT. Providing it has not been over-written.

I have used GetDataBack before with some success, It costs though. I'm sure there are free apps about too though.

Just wanted to inform you guys that my phobia of disastrous battery life is (almost) over :p

After some considerable testing, it seems that under moderate consumption (including WiFi + skype calls, a bit of gaming, a few normal calls) my battery went down to 50% after around 18 hours of usage (including a couple of hours of sleep of course).

Thanks for the support ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Wicked. Enjoy your phone ;)
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
But the problem is that the files are still on the FAT, they have been reallocated to lost.dir and grouped together into larger files, and I don't know how to convert them back. I've tried Piriform Recuva, Zero Assumption Recovery, and PhotoRec so far. They all seem designed to recover "missing" not batched and renamed files.

Blinking LED not working?

Hi,

I'm trying to get the Handcent SMS blue blinking LED to work, but to no avail - no LED will show up at all (also no other color). It worked OK with a previous Sense based ROM. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

having issues with repeating reminders.

"gmail notififier", "calendar snooze" and other apps that implements repeatinng reminders

don't works properly on 5.1 (and on OpenDesire 4.0.34 also).

the first reminder is triggered fine, but the repeats don't works :(
[Desire Android Development] mdbraber:
Hmmm.... that's weird. I only have blue and green LED and they only are constant on (instead of blinking). I'm running Defrost 5.1 with 998HAVS. Any idea how to further test this?
[Desire Android Development] Lyrrad:
I really don't like the left hand swipe to answer call or right hand swipe to reject call the Defrost ROM coms with. Is it something I just have to live with or is it possible to change?

I also am struggling with the following:

MENU/SETTINGS/CALL SETTINGS/ALWAYS BACK TO CALL LOG.

I want this option OFF, but it if I deselect the option it still takes me back to call log.

Can anyone help on either of the 2 issues that I have?

Thanks in advance

ps. Excellent ROM that I has transformed my HTC Desire ownership. Thank you
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I think you have misunderstood. When I'm talking about fat I'm not talking about the SD card. I'm talking about the table or index if you will. Theyre not on the table because Android can't see them.

Forget about the lost.dir for now. That populates for example if you don't unmount before disconnecting. This folder can actually grow without losing files so they may not have moved here like you suspect.

I was trying to explain earlier how file allocation table format works. Allow me to expand on that. If you move a file from one folder to another, you may actually retain the data in the original location but not in the table

Try other apps but if they fail you have probably lost out.

Backup SD rregularly
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Hi Danfrance. The files in lost.dir *are* my pics. One of them can be opened as a jpg, and they are visible by android. But most are bulked together and there is no way to separate them as far as I can tell.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sorry bouncy bus making me submit posts while typing.

I'm.not suggesting they are not your pics. I am suggesting the originals may co exist and prompting the question have they moved or have.they copied?

How did you install? If you browse to the .apk via a file manager and open it with app installer it should ask.you if you want to uninstall
[Desire Android Development] braso:
You need to reflash the 5.1 ROM again to get rid of it.

[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
Just an update on my reboot issues.

Im investigating a theory that they are related to memory issues.

Ive recently been using a more complex homescreen setup with more widgets than usual (using Launcher Pro, but Ive tried ADW too in case reboots were LP related).

Ive been a bit frustrated with the slowdown of moving between homescreens, so I simplified them so theres no longer any lag, and in doing so it struck me that the cause of the lag (low memory) could also be a cause for the reboots.

Will report back...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I have no problem on LP at 1113 Havs. If at 1190 SVS though, it did appear when browsing the internet or using LP, a reboot would happen. I had to clock to 1152.

I have since increased the VM heap to 32 in Cyanogenmod settings>performance settings and this has made LP much smoother.
[Desire Android Development] Ivanovic:
From defrost setup install original framework.
[Desire Android Development] ZennieAbitar:
flash

Just switched from leedroid. Is there something I have to do to get flash to work? Wiped system and really downloaded several times to confirm a problem, my browser does not show flash now.
[Desire Android Development] Ivanovic:
Did you install flash player from market?
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Good question. I assumed that the blocks of data contained within lost.dir were the only remnants of the pics, i.e. the FAT had been amended but the data on the disk had not been copied. You're right, it's possible that the lost.dir files are actually copies and that somewhere on the drive, missing from the FAT, is the original data. If it's the latter I'd expect them to be revealed by recovery programmes which hasn't happened so far.

In any case, the moral of the tale is to back up anything which matters to you, regularly.

I've got another issue, this one specifically related to Defrost 5.0 and 5.1. The newer kernels aren't behaving well with the PSXdroid emulator for me, I've tried them all and gone back to 4.9 for now. Hard to explain, but I get periodic speeding up and slowing down of game speed, and erratic d-pad behaviour resulting in me swerving violently around when I've barely touched the screen. I've tried all the 5.0 and 5.1 HAVS and SVS kernels, and tried messing round with SetCPU settings, and finally switched SetCPU off. Also tried reinstalling various versions of PSXDroid and rebooting the image file.

As far as I've read, no one else is having this problem, but even though it might sound like a small issue, for me it's a killer for this ROM. I've not yet tried other CM based ROMs to see if I get the same problems.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I read someone here mention that short presses on teh d-pad were being interpreted as long presses...

If you have win 7, I have a good SD card backup solution for you. Let me know if you have.
[Desire Android Development] vensty:
Cheers Marsbar, yep a whole bunch of stuff, just about all of which is over my head.

I noticed a couple strange things yesterday when I connected to my iMac. JPGs in the Camera folder on the SD did not show on the Mac, and a whole bunch of files in the Lost.Dir were dated 31 Dec 1979. I think the latter is a Mac thing, on Windows these files don't show a 'modified' date and I guess the Mac just goes back to the begining of time and adds that.

I've seen some other posts about files not showing up on PC's so will work through them.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.

Cheers

[Desire Android Development] etique57:
Hi people,

I have a few questions about the screen luminosity and the ambient light sensor.

I am using a 5 level setup similar to the one in Richard's signature. And it works, I mean, the settings change according to the values reported by the sensor.

- it seems the sensor behaves rather as a "direct light" sensor than an ambient light sensor. On my Desire, it quickly falls to 10, even in a room where there's decent light. I have to be under direct light or outside to see the sensor value rise significantly. And it never goes below 10, even in the complete dark. Is it a known and normal behavior ?

- the screen luminosity, whatever settings I use, never goes below a value that I estimate at 30. Even if, in the setting panel, the luminosity is reported as being set to 1, it is the exact same as it is when reported to be 25. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
Fm radio fm radio fm radio:):)
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Ditto. I've already mentioned this earlier in this thread, but nobody else really noticed the problem. I also noticed that somebody else in the CyanogenMod nightly thread posted about this. Ever since 5.0 of DeFroST, the ambient light sensor does not detect light at angles, and only reads 10 lux in medium to low brightness.

I've even considering flashing back to 4.9 just to avoid this bug. Custom brightness settings are important to me for battery savings, and richardtrip's 5 level settings were perfect for me prior to the bug, but now it almost constantly keeps it at the lowest brightness settings even with a fair amount of ambient light.

With respect to the lowest luminosity, I think that's just the limit of how low it'll go :o
[Desire Android Development] big_forest:
Why is there no FM radio in this ROM?

I have used in China.

I need it ,Thanks!

[Desire Android Development] ZennieAbitar:
Ok so I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 on the phone, but I don't think its enabled? I go to any website with flash, and where the flash should appear it tells me that I don't have flash. How to enable?
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
Glad to see that I'm not alone. Now that you're talking about it, I think it indeed started with 5.0 though I wouldn't bet my head on this.

About the lowest luminosity, what is the setting "Dimming level" (rough translation from french, sorry - the one that drops a list from 1 to 26) about then? For me 30 is still to high a luminosity in the complete dark :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Will post later, but there's an update to 5.1a already. A little patience and we have FM thanks to cyanogen and miui team of course :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:

[Desire Android Development] Joost007:
5.1a crashes sometimes with 5.1 no problems using 1113 havs
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Yeah, I was scratching my head as to why it was happening...wondering if all the lights around me burnt out or went dimmer or something :p but it definitely is an issue.

Hopefully richardtrip/Kali- or whoever will be able to look at it.

I'm pretty sure the 'dimming level' is just the low level it'll go to when it times out (the brightness goes down after a certain amount of time, then the screen turns off a bit after that...)

I personally can't really tell the difference between 1 and 25, but my eyes aren't the greatest...heh.

Edit: good, it isn't just the two of us ;)

[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
Firstly, VR are not using those boot animations anymore (infact now we found out lots of HTC workers actually like and use our roms we are running a contest for a new slogan) and secondly you were never forced to use them anyway, you could have changed it at any time, its only swapping one zip file for another.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Have you tried running sensortest from the Market? Just to remove the possibility of hardware or kernel.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Would be good if someone who uses PSXDroid could check and report on how they are getting on with the new kernels. For me, HAVS 998 5.1a has the most erratic speeds and controls of all the recent kernels. On Wipeout XL, it's as though I'm constantly holding down "left". Back to 4.9 for now, and really starting to think this is just me!

[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
how to install this with clockworkMOD recovery ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you rooted using Unrevoked, you will have this already (replacing your HTC recovery) or if you rooted an old fashioned way, you may need to "flash" it via an app called ROM manager.

How did you root? Are you on defrost now?
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
NO im rooted with unrevoked. Dont now what to do next to install this rom and new radio. Please help me, if you can :) i will be very very thankful
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Well from the sound of it danfrance was simply joking :p
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
please tell me someone, I found how flash new ROM, but this ROM and radio are BOOT and folders, not zip file
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ok, so download the rom and the radio and put them somewhere easy to find on your SD card.

First it might be worth installing titanium backup from the market and taking a backup of somethings.

Next you need to boot into recovery. To do this, turn off the phone, hold Volume down and press power. This will take you to the boot screen. Use Volume to navigate to the "recovery" menu option. Press Power to select it.

If you get a picture of a phone and a red triangle, press volume up and power.

This should take you to Clockworkmod recovery. Black screen, green text

You still need to use the volume to navigate but now you can use the optical trackball button to select.

Firstly look for the backup option and take one. You can restore this later if all goes wrong.

Then look for an option to wipe data. You MUST do this. Be careful not to wipe anything that mentions SD card.

Look for an option to install zip from SD card. Browse to the rom and select it. Then select yes.

Then browse to the radio and do the same. reboot and all should be ok.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You need to download them as zip files from the 1st post in this thread.
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
but those arent zip files, so when i select install zip it shows that there's now files in the defrost folder
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
This is the rom:

Sensortest shows the sensor value varying.

But still it drops pretty fast to the minimum, as soon as it is not directly in the line of sight of and close to the source.

I'm actually wondering if it is soft related or if the design of the sensor itself is somehow flawed (to deep in the bezel, etc.)

Had the similar thing happen, earlier today (on 5.1a), as I mentioned earlier.
