[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
That's not a bug, that's by design. ;)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
I was experimenting a bit about battery lastings with DeFroST 4.7 and I found that SVS+external governor is way better that HAVS alone.

In the picture above you can see the steeper nighttime drain with HAVS rather than SVS + JuiceDefender' CPU management.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
HAVS drains more than SVS here too. Even with HAVS @ 1113 and SVS @ 1152, Both "on demand"
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Nice.

This thread may not really be the place for it but there's a few people reading this thread who can probably tell me, and when I posted a thread a few months back it got (mostly) ignored.

If I were to download and compile the latest version of opencore, which is meant to have support for gapless mp3 playback, would it simply slot in to the ROM like any other zip update?

I've not done any of this stuff before so I'm not set up for compiling for android; I don't want to go to all that hassle if there's an obvious reason why it won't work :)
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
thx for 4.8

my FC-problems with Titanium Backup are gone
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
wonderful :d
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
4.8 not in defrost set up. I am still on 4.5. Do I need to go to 4.7 first?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
no 4.8 did not show for me on 4.7 either.
[Desire Android Development] drvdijk:
Richard: I like that you provided the separate apps zip instead of defaultly bundling those in the ROM. I would take it a little further however, and also move some additional apps to that zip:

/system/app/Clicker_hi.apk
/system/app/DSPManager.apk
/system/app/Email.apk
/system/app/GenieWidget.apk
/system/app/HTC_IME_hi22.apk
/system/app/Protips.apk
/system/app/SpareParts.apk
/system/app/Stk.apk
/system/app/googlevoice.apk

Also, why'd you remove Talk.apk and PassionQuickOffice.apk from the ROM? Those are not (yet) downloadable through the market iirc
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
I'm using the HAVS but I have a lot of reboots, and all the time when using the phone. It's not feeling hot or something.... trying to get back to the SVS now... but a very slow internet connection at the moment :-(
[Desire Android Development] Dramiro:
Very good idea two packets +10
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
just updated to 4.8 :)

will give it a trial run :)
[Desire Android Development] puffy1980:
Didn't show up for me either. Downloaded on here then installed via rom manager.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its there now.
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
just flashed to 4.8....

email fails to sync, works fine on 4.5a. entering email account settings gives a force close. Looks like all those changes on the security settings on Email made it worse. :(

edit : changed back to 4.5a, everything working fine again. no other changes between changing the roms. Something to look into richardtrip?
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
no reboots for me but wake up problem from standby with havs 998mhz (4.5 kernel & 4.8 kernel) :( i thought this problem was fixed!? :(
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I get that some people don't like their ROM littered with stuff they don't use, but as I understand it it's not like we can use the space for anything else, right? All it means is if I have to install stuff (that would have been in the ROM) from the market that'll use up my precious space.

ISTR there's a way of hiding icons from the app drawer, so I'm at a bit of a loss to understand why it makes enough difference for anyone to really care.
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
if u flash the apps it'll go into the same space as the rom.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Yes, I know. But why have them separate? If you don't want an app, don't use it. You don't gain anything by not installing it.

Edit: except I guess you don't have to redownload the same stuff each time... but then most of the stuff in the main zip will very rarely be updated, so why not move all of it to apps.zip and have no apps at all in the main zip?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
HAVS 1113 crash

Same problem as before almost immediately (within 10 minutes) with 4.8 HAVS 1113 not running setcpu (so restricted to 998). last_kmsg attached, it's got heavily corrupted but you can just about see the same old errors popping up just before the crash.

In other words, i2c transaction timeout, write failed, and acpuclock unable to drop acpu vdd to 245 (?)

I'll try the 998 version.
[Desire Android Development] Theteenystar:
I also have still the FCs with Titanium Backup :(

Why does it not work :( ?
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
if u do look at what's inside the apps pack, it's consisting of apps that might matter to some, might not matter to some.

Besides, this is XDA, having the choice to have/have not is definitely better. You could argue that having it there but not using it is enough, someone else will tell you "Why have it there when u're not gonna be using it?" :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
GenieWidget process always runs when I don't even use it, taking up RAM. remove .apk, no process running.

HTC IME Mod is in System/app. I have my own version that if I didn't remove this, I wouldn't be able to use.

The rest is just clutter which yes I could hide, but I have no need to ever go into any carmode or anything. I may aswell remove it incase changing connectivity activates it.

I'm quite happy to remove the stuff I don't want myself.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Been having quite some success with DeFrost 4.7 SVS998. Running fast and stable for 17 hours. Kernel 2.6.34.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Because those people who do want to use any of the apps either have to install all of them and flash them (in which case you've gained nothing except making it more of a pain in the ****) or download it from the market (in which case they've lost some precious user app space).

I don't get it. I'd rather RT spent his time working on cool toys for defrost setup or trying to figure out why HAVS is so unstable ;-). Of course, that's my personal (and selfish!) opinion; the difference is I can't fix HAVS, whereas everyone moaning about apps being / not being in the zip can easily remove or add them.

Edit: one cool defrost setup tool would be to let the user download apps from a repository, knock them into a zip file in data/apps and flash them. That way we get to choose what goes in and what doesn't.

But then you've essentially ended up with Modaco kitchen, no?
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
ive deinstalled TB before upgrading 4.7 to 4.8

in 4.8 TB is working without FC
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
It's called choice, whether you like it or not.

Everyone has their own opinions of what they want to include in the rom. So rather than have the headache of trying to please everyone, it's actually more efficient for RT to take all the extras out, and let them decide what they need themselves. Remember...this is XDA. Not Android elementary school. Even those who lack Android knowledge should take it upon themselves how to add/remove their own apps.

And since A2SD+ is present, since when is installing apps taking up "precious" app space?

This is the preferred way to go. This way ensures that people can pick and choose what they want on their phone, while making sure that people learn how to add/remove apps to customize their phones. It also removes complaints about extraneous apps cluttering up the default rom. Anyone who believes otherwise is just plain lazy. :(
[Desire Android Development] davdavo:
It appears most of the problems stems from the kernel underclocking and undervolting.

Can we PLEASE have a kernel that behaves like the stock HTC Kernel - I don't care if it's always 998Mhz and always 1300mv as long as it's STABLE and doesn't reboot on you so often.

Is such a kernel possible Richard? Can you make it as a flashable option Richard...?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Nothing wrong with the Modaco Online Kitchen. Well except that you end up with a Sense based rom (although you can exclude rosie)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
HAVS 998 crash

So an hour later, I have a crash with 998 only 5 minutes after booting.

Again, we have the same i2c error just before the crash:

[ 223.287384] AVS setting V to 950 mV @245 MHz
[ 223.288421] PM: suspend of devices complete after 19.847 msecs

On a different topic, I'm slightly worried at the number of these:

[ 22.253295] msm_nand_write_oob c380000 800 10 failed -5
[ 22.254028] **>> Block 975 needs retiring

Should I be stressed about this? I've got about 600 of these "failed" lines.

Switching to 998 SVS for now.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
No it isn't. It's a rubbish half-way house that doesn't let anyone choose anything. "You can either have all the apps or some of them (which I've decided are the ones you should have)".

Preferred by whom?

No it doesn't, as discussed above.

Complaints from people who don't realise that 99% of the time it makes no difference to their experience if an app is on the ROM or not.

In the old WM days you could use the space that was saved by the ROM for your own flash disk. That's not the case here. Until it is, there is no point in taking out apps that you might not use.

Seen any billygoats around lately?

My belief is that SD is slower than loading from NAND flash, although I admit I haven't any data on that. It also means that loading apps will interfere with any other SD access I'm doing at the time; it will also use more battery to power the SD card.
[Desire Android Development] The Asgard:
+1

Pretty much given up on this ROM because of stability which is a shame because it is the best ROM out there. I have been running LeeDroid 2.1a with UV, no FC's, no wake up issues, no WIFI issue it "Just Works". Battery life is great.

Surley AOSP should be like this?? :confused: :(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes. Defrost is like this for me. on 4.5a I can run havs @1113Mhz or svs @ 1152Mhz. No reboots, No FC, No BSOD, no wifi issues.
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
Still changes nothing. Being selfish helps no one around here.

Hope RT will make the logical choice instead of pandering to rude pricks like you.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Lol. Just saying something doesn't make it true.

You've been making sweeping and generalised statements, making out that anyone who doesn't agree with you is lazy (and now a "rude prick", apparently) and not actually explaining your position.

On the other hand I'm simply sitting here saying I don't get it. I've explained why; I've answered your points and asked you to explain; instead of explaining how what has been done is better you become abusive and ignorant.

I'm not selfish. I want RT to make a better ROM for everyone. I don't care what apps he puts in because I'll just pull the zip apart and remake it how I want it.

On the other hand there are a number of people with unstable kernels, which is something he could be doing with his time. I'm just saying I think that's what would improve the ROM more, rather than playing with which apps are / aren't installed.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Speaking of which, can we please leave the rest of the thread for rom / kernel issues, questions, bugs, requests and updates? ;)
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
GREAT idea the App Pack !

I love it !

I have finnaly a clean rom where I don't have to delete all the useless Facebook and twitter app, the OI File manager, the CMStats ..

Thanks ! Continue this way !
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Try the 2.6.34 svs 998Mhz kernel (it's in 4.8 defrost setup).
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
hi for some reason setcpu fc's, so i decided to uninstall it then reinstall the ROM, but it seems that setcpu didn't get reinstalled.

EDIT: ah thank god for titanium backup :)
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
can´t restore my nandroid after installing defrost 4.8....

md5 mismatch!

why?
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Any chance of a 1300mv, 1113 mhz havs?

Sent from the 25th century.
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
Is this the kernel that comes with 4.7 ? If it is I must say that I jost BSOD'd with it (4.7 clean install, no addons, no other stuff, with SetCPU of course)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Didn't have much luck on 4.8. Seemed to keep the 4.5 kernel? Not sure, but that worked ok, but when I flashed the 4.8 1190 SVS, serious lag - homescreen, keyboard etc.

Went back to a 4.5 kernel (1190 SVS) and just the Launcherpro app drawer had a bit of lag.

Went back to 4.5 rom and kernel. seems ok again. Might try 4.5 with 4.8 kernel in a bit.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Does it really matter whether you use the 998 or 1190 version? I mean does overclocking it by around 200 MHz show huge improvements in speed? I've been running 4.7 SVS998 with kernel 2.6.34 and launcherpro has been running smoothly (at least that's what I feel) and haven't been encountering crashes.

However, I was on 4.6 running same kernel and my wifi suddenly stopped working. Installing 4.7 alone didn't solve the problem. Had to wipe and reinstall.

EDIT: Compared to Leedroid's ROM (based on SENSE), DeFrost seems tons faster though still not as stable.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes. .34 is stable for me which is why I reverted. Im Just stating the new .35 lagged for me.

Defrost is stable for me usually. 1152 is the most I can go to, but yeah those extra mhz do make a lot of small improvements that add up.

I think I've found my final Rom and kernel in 4.5
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
You can use 4.8 with a. 34 kernel also (same kernel as 4.5 up in defrost setup).
[Desire Android Development] kimlaurits:
No vibration

Just installed DeFrost for the first time - and WOW! It is fantastic - really superb rom.

I have one problem though, hope you can help.

Vibration doesn't work at all - any idea how to fix this?
[Desire Android Development] vecc:
4.8 - nice work as usual!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thanks Richard,

I tried that and it was significantly better than the 35 kernel on 4.8, but I still found it worked better (for me) on the 4.5 rom.

Since i only have 1 minor issue (wifi power drain), i'm going to stick with it for now.

Thanks for all your work though, its coming along very well :)
[Desire Android Development] acolwill:
Just a question Richard,

Any chance you could keep the included apps up-to-date?

Chrome to Phone has been at version 2.1.0 for a few versions now...

Also Titanium && Rom Manager,

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] El Norupz:
@ Richard

I think it would be nice and informative, if you could post a content list of the apps addon package ;)

This is a superb ROM i love it so much, i wandering is there anyone or beside only me having the HTC sync issue? I can't get the phone to sync, but i can make it to be a drive in pressing it as USB share drive.

.............. try many solution, is there any setting need to enable just like in HTC ROM sync or charge only.... Appreciate anyone can assist m(_ _)m
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
Does HTC sync work on a non-HTC Sense ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Narutu:
i'm sure there must be something to do with the HTC syn software communication with the phone, as base driver shouldn't be an issue, because if you turn on mass storage, it works fiind, can copy file to SD card. I can't do sync, nor install apk to the phone if sync software don't work......
[Desire Android Development] samjpullen:
Anyone know any black bar mods that work with DeFrost. :-)

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
HTC sync don't work. And yes you can install .apk if sync doesn't work. Drop it on your SD, like you would music or video and open using a file manager
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can set it to any colour you want in cyanogen settings

[Desire Android Development] zigson:
My in-call volume seems high but I assumed this was just me...
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
4.8 with .34 HAVS 998 much better than .35

Do we have a diff of the changes from .34 to .35 anywhere? I'd like to take a look.

A quick grep of the kernel I downloaded from intersectraven's github didn't seem to have the error message I'm seeing, which left me wondering where I should get the source from. :(
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Absolutely. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Mine too; I assumed it was audioboost and was fairly pleased - the volume on pre v4 was way too low for me.

On the subject of volume, anyone else have an issue that when changing bluetooth call volume (while in a call attached to bluetooth, obviously) the volume doesn't change, unless I flip off the headset button in the call screen, change the normal call volume, then flip back to bluetooth.

I wondered if there's a way to make the phone change both volumes while in a headset call?
[Desire Android Development] Diamond360:
I just install defrost 4.8a and there is no Google Talk / Gtalk! Is there anyone having this issue?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:

hi guys, i need help. I've installed for the first time Defrost rom because i love roms with htc sense, but now i have decided to try a Cyanogen based rom.

I have a problem. I have a dual sim in my phone and with previously roms (auraxtsense 7.6.1 and others) it worked fine. Now with this rom i can't switch between my 2 sim and i've noticed that Stk.apk in Defrost rom is only 52kb while in Aurax it is 65kb. I've tried to push Aurax's stk.apk but it has'n been possible.

How can i do?

i tried to push it with adb and root explorer but i always have the same error (not enough space....but i have 133mb of free space)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
You're trying to touch a file under /system, and it can't be done without first mounting that partition.

Try to mount /system via ClockWorkMod recovery and update the app via adb. Another solution is updating the app straight into the ROM ZIP file and then flash it (with recovery signature check switched off).
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
This is such an easy method, i never use adb anymore.

Afternoon people.

My last post were about bugs and stuff that didn't work. This one is to praise!! (hope i dont jinx it!:P)

Using 4.8, stock kernel and the latest radio.

Thumbs up for the removal of the apps and the inclusion of file manager. Now, the upgrade process is almost flawless. If you want the apps - just download the pack. Pleases both worlds and its a very good solution, imo.

This version is very stable (no BSOD so far) and battery consuption is better than previous versions altough i think it still can be improved.

Thumbs up for Richard, Deov, Cyanogen and all the people involved.

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
Used Defrost before, worked brilliantly but I had to un-root due to some things later on. Planning on rooting again just going to wait for Defrost 5.0 to come out. Hope you include some great changes and even more fixes, brilliant ROM.
