Hi All,

I am new to Desire, I have rooted my device and desperate to flash this rom, I have used the rooting guide in sticky as far as flashing of this rom goes can I rely on this guide and go ahead, or is there any other way.

Lastly do I need to install the echotest kernel or is it optional

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] kewell79:
got an email, but no led blinking??!!

edit: no bliking or light on sms or call misses either
[Desire Android Development] Spoinky:
Hi, awesome progress. But before I'm gonna go ahead and wipe my pimped out DeFroST, is there a way to backup all my current settings and restore them after wipe?

And what does "Deodexed" mean?

Oh and the topic title still says 0.8 ;)
[Desire Android Development] TSpark:
Titanium Backup is your friend! ;)
[Desire Android Development] svrroot:
here too!

also the Trackball isn't working anymore :-( (Version 9 with Echo patch)
[Desire Android Development] hjoci:
Keyboard

HTC_IME mod keyboard force closing.

Great rom anyway.
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
I have both "bugs".
[Desire Android Development] hjoci:
Trackball is working without echo patch
[Desire Android Development] Tinnitus:
I'm on 0.8 and have applied the echo fix (thanks) but now the Orange LED is stuck on! any ideas?

Also, I've tried the WiFi sleep options but I still loose my WiFi connection.

I might give 0.9 a go today, thanks a lot. Great ROM.
[Desire Android Development] zzleezz:
Trackball working for me.

Ime keyboard force closing.
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
FaceBook contacts synced in this? I need photos of my contacts
[Desire Android Development] Tinnitus:
It works for me but only when I log out and in to the app again, which sounds more like the app being flakey rather than the rom.
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
So It does sync photos thought not automatic? Fine enough for me. Will most likely switch from Amer_bravox_V3_Exclusive to this if this is confirmed
[Desire Android Development] Tinnitus:
Sorry for the dumb question but can I manually tell Titanium Backup to just go ahead and back everything up without having to set a schedule? Also, does it back up stuff like WiFi keys and application settings as well?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Re: [ROM-FroYo] DeFroST 0.8 (2.6.32 kernel +Camera,Portable Hotspot,BlueTooth+A2SD)

The echo test is not my kernel (defer compiled that). If things are working fine (just echo problem related) I'm sure he will release the source. I can' t give any support on that kernel right now.
[Desire Android Development] hjoci:
The keyboard bug still here with standard kernel
[Desire Android Development] Sabrezx:
Hi All, have flashed rom last night and will report back once used for a bit, same issues as others i.e light not going off, high battery usage, slightly unresponsive screen in estrong and mail.

All in all though, thanks so much for the ROM, bloody quick and I already like it better than sense as my first rooted/flash rom.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
So with echo patch there is no UVOC? I guess i can live with that if the echo is fixed!

EDIT: Or can i do full rom, echo fix then ocuv? And all will work? Or would that not?
[Desire Android Development] FrancisFuku:
Just reinstall the HTC_IME mod apk (there's a thread in the Nexus One apps forum, and be sure to install the 2.2 version, otherwise it will FC)

You can have both UVOC and the echo fix, just flash the 2 updates after you flash the full ROM.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Awefuckingsome. Thanks mate.

Not right. With echo fix there's no uvoc.
[Desire Android Development] Epedemic:
Hi

After going from 0.8 to 0.9 (with wipe) my HTC IME is fubar. After installing the rom i got a message saying 38 apps were restored, and the HTC IME i still there, but does FC, and cannot be uninstalled or reinstalled :( I was using the latest 2.2 version. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Re: [ROM-FroYo] DeFroST 0.9 (2.6.32 kernel +Camera,Portable Hotspot,BlueTooth+A2SD)

Could you try settings, applications, manage applications, all, HTC_IME mod, clear data?
[Desire Android Development] Epedemic:
Tried that... It does not appear in applications at all...

It does however appear in language & keyboard (although without the on/off switch) and i can change settings just fine... But when selecting it in a text app it FC's :/
[Desire Android Development] :
Hi Rich,

Now it seems this echo test has worked, can you integrate it into the oc update?

Cheers mate;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] Ireas:
By "echo" you all was pointing to the echo when talking to someone that you'd hear such a horrible noise in the background? - was confused 'bout this the whole time hehe
[Desire Android Development] TSpark:
Sure! Just open the menue and select "Batch".

Yes, It does.
[Desire Android Development] Tinnitus:
^ That's it, thanks for your help.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I can't atm. Have no source for it (defer compiled the echo test kernel).
[Desire Android Development] kewell79:
what about the Light sensor still not working on 0.9?
[Desire Android Development] :
Ok mate, no probs,

Best rom yet by the way on first impressions;)

Very smooth....

or is there a new version being uploaded?
[Desire Android Development] Egan:
It appears to work, however it seems a bit too dark for me. May need some adjustments/tuning. Richard?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Downloadlink offline!

Need a small fix for HTC_IME fc's
[Desire Android Development] kewell79:
are you using just undervolt only?

[Desire Android Development] lupin85:
cool richard, now just camcorder and we have a perfect rom :P
[Desire Android Development] busterleguster:
Can't reinstall keyboard as described above, using latest2.2 version from nexus forum.

Guess it has to be removed before flashing the room.

Otherwise great rom!
[Desire Android Development] neitin:
I too have the same problem. Thanks Richard for the wonderful rom

deovferreira:

After some quite intense days of debugging the light sensor, me and Kali- finally managed to make it work. This change set is now in GIT.

A little note to ROM makers: The latest google code (in 2.2 and cyanogen) for automatic brightness is different from what users are used to in the Desire stock roms. After going up the screen brightness doesn't go down until the display is turned off and on again. At this time we are not sure if this is a bug in google's codebase or if it is intentional, but since the Nexus behaves the same way we consider this as solved. Please inform your users of these changes.
[Desire Android Development] Jeppfi:
Can you upload your ROM to the ROM Manager? Please :)
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Thank you Richard.

By the way, with Titanium backup can I make a "Apps + system" backup from DeFrost 0.8 or is it a bad idea?
[Desire Android Development] neomoz:
Any reason why this version was deodexed? I noticed now the dalvik-cache is huge now eating up a lot of free space on the data partition. Where as now the system partition is 50% free, ie 128M.

I find it disturbing that i JUST complained about it to a colleague and then you fixed it... You work too fast ;)

Was about to say HTC input not working!! Actually liking this, something are different to Android 2.1 but I'll get my head around them!!

HATE the Android keyboard so the HTC one is preferable!
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Cheers mate. Will do full wipe then try echo update. Really happy if it is fixed.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
copy/paste:

De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
So fast... Good work!
[Desire Android Development] krotwijk:

tested in 2 calls, other side doesn't have any echo as in 0.8 rom

[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
I don't know if it's the Italian implementation that is so superb, but I find the 2.2 stock IME to be the best IME ever, I can type w/ two fingers at light speed without checking the screen at all, ending with no or very few typos. With HTC IME (that is slower also) I've always to double-check what it actually entered, and 70 over 100 times I've to fix it.
[Desire Android Development] franklinvv:
Is the deodexing the reason why I have a significantly smaller amount of free internal storage? I don't care for deodexing ... and I assume it's only for theming?

Please, remove the deodexing in that case. :)

I'm reverting to 0.8 because of this. :(
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
It's annoying having to change to get numbers all the time - I'm used to the HTC keyboard so would rather have that...:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nocturnal310:
i installed lot of apps.

one of the apps is using lot of cpu..and is causing the phone to lag crazily...how do i find which app is using maximum resources?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dj_divinyl123@hotmail.com:
Either download "SpareParts" from the Market or use the built in battery monitor

Settings - About Phone - Battery Use

EDIT: Sorry I misread, I thought you meant which app was using the most battery, not CPU.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nocturnal310:
imagine running a heavy game such Crysis on your PC..and minimize it.

and now try to do other normal tasks.... notice how laggy and slow your pc becomes?

same is happening to my X10 since i installed tons of new apps..some important ..some useless.

will try spareparts
[General Topics] Lukxxx:
Hi I want to buy one of this two devices, but I can't decide which one. I am looking at this dilema from two perspectives. A user perspective and a developer perspective.

1. User perspective:

I will use the phone for every functionallity there is. I will install a lot of apps, customize everything. Play movies, play games, use GPS navigation, take pictures, even read some documents. Every aspect of the phone is important to me.

HTC HD2:

pros:

* 4,3 screen

* windows mobile is mature system with lot of good, mature apps

* good divx/xvid players

* great GPS navigation apps

* great emulators including DOSBOX!

* psx emulator

* great customization

cons:

* system is old and rusty in some places

* not finger friendly in many cases

* developers will slowly abandon this platform

* marketplace sucks, you have to find everything yourself

* not a lot of touch friendly games?

HTC Desire:

pros:

* AMOLED screen

* great momentum with apss, lot of new developers

* good marketplace, lot of apps free

* modern system

* everything is finger friendly

* widgets are great

* faster then HD2 WinMo

cons:

* lack of decent free xvid/divx player

* lack of dosbox and psx emulator (some emulators are ok though)

* although there are some ok GPS navigation apps not as good as WinMo

* less freedom than WinMo

Winner? Desire as soon as it gets dosbox, divx player and maybe some other apps it will be a better phone for me, but we don't know when it will happen, right now it's about a tie, but android has better perspectives.

2. Developer perspective:

Right I am windows .net developer for few years now. I want to develop some apps on mobile phones. Firstly this will be free apps, but after some time I'm thinking about starting to develop paid apps if its working good.

HTC HD2:

system:

* WinMo

pros:

* .net and Visual Studio

* freedom

* great support from xda-developers

cons:

* still no SDK for WinMo 6.5

* no good marketplace to give/sell my apps

* a lot of API is device specific

* WinApi

* will be outdated by WinPhone 7 - wich on the other hand will have very good API support.

HTC Desire:

system:

* Android 2.1/2.2

* future upgrades?

pros:

* good system API, almost everything you would need to develop apps

* open source

* monodroid? Mono for android

* great and vast marketplace where I can instantly put my apps

* some xda-developers support (probably even better in the future)

* widgets

cons:

* java and eclipse -but still better than WinApi

* not so much freedom for apps, they run in isolated environments and there are some security bounds

Summarizing WinMo has better developer-community support (for now, it will probably change soon) and better tools. But Android has a lot better API, will probably soon (Q3) have monodroid, and has a good marketplace. Thats about a tie, but here android has better perspectives.

All-in-all I just really can't decide which phone to take (both of them are about 150$ from my operator with 2 year agreement - Play in Poland). What would you suggest?
[General Topics] ukn0wnscaa:
TAke the desire. Likeyou said at a developer point of view the phone is on it's last legs and then you'd have to rebuild the apps for windows mobile 7. Android sure you would have to update it with each OS but its still a growing platform. From a user perspective I can see android winning out because first the OS is finger friendly. I also can seethe all store being much more well used vs the windows marketplace. Honestly in the nd it comes down to.your personal choice. O play with both and see which you like more

I went for Desire. Found a good offline GPS navigation and converting to mp4 is a little pain in the ass but not that bad. Hope coreplayer android will come here soon.

Android SDK > WM6SDK
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
I am an out-and-out android person, but I know both C# and Java, and you can easily pick up one from the other, from my experience. Syntax is very similar, and the documentation will help you.

Eclipse is the recommended IDE, and you can use the android emulator to play about with coding etc (it's not fast, but it works). That should let you try out android from a development perspective.

Hi guys, just want to know what kind of gps software you guys install in your polaris, hopefully you are kind enough to share it here. I mean just put down the software name and country is enough. :D

e.g.

Malaysia - Mapking

Moscow - Copilot
[Touch Cruise General] InfX:
igo8 - Israel, Western Europe countries, some Eastern Europe countries (Czechia, Hungary)

Sadly, while pirated version and pirated maps are relatively easy to get and use, getting official software is super-expensive, linked to a specific SD card, official maps updates are, in fact, more mess than getting a pirated set of maps etc :-( But overall, its a very good off-line navigation software. IMHO - one of the best.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tamanaco:
Everywhere I read about this i897 they mention that the phone has an AMOLED not a Super AMOLED screen. Without the enhanced screen, without the hummingbird processor and with possibility of having to wait a long time for it to be unlocked/rooted.. I don't see a reason for choosing this phone over the N1.
