The big fat wipe

Disclaimer: this does not refer to the fat32 partition, nor should you restore system settings from some where else, as in another rom.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
my girlfriend had a desire with random reboots. The mainboard was corrupt and HTC repairs it.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Was it rooted? Or were you flashing custom partitions? Or anything that could have harmed mainboard? Or was it just one of those ones that had a problem?

Desire is the source of all suffering.

Battery led not turning green

Hi,

with the latest Defrost Rom the battery led is not turning to "green" anymore when the battery is charged more than 95%.

The led is off then.

Is this a known issue?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Very. Use 6.1 instead.
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
correct. Only a corrupt device ;) No defrost installation or anything else.
[Desire Android Development] tanw:
hi i juz flashed defrost rom,may i ask how to set number of screens?currently default is 5
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Use launcherpro or any other launcher you like
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
i tried launcher pro for a while but it drains the battery very fast. Imho this is no great deal.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I used the green battery and icons from gingervillian and loved it but had to move back to defrost for battery life. Can I flash the green icons over defrost will this work ok?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Funny, I've never noticed any impact on battery life - though I suppose I was comparing it with Sense when I started using it ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've never used android launcher but likewise, never noticed any drain associated to launcherpro
[Desire Android Development] vincenzos:
I successfully installed it once and then when I tried to make a backup via the rom manager I got stuck on the HTC logo screen after backup has finished.

Tried to reflash it for several times since then but without success. I wiped cache, data, dalvik-cache prior to flashing. Nothing helps. I always got stuck on the logo screen after flashing.

Any ideas? My device is PVT4.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
if all else fails, you can always flash a PB99IMG image from a goldcard. Maybe You have damaged some partition for some reason. PB99IMG should work fine
[Desire Android Development] vincenzos:
I don't think that I damaged some partition because I successfully restored my previous rom. I am having problems with this rom specifically.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Try to use alpharev's cwm 2.5.1.8 with pvt4 support.
[Desire Android Development] vincenzos:
Tried that. I started with Alpharev's cwm and reverted back to plain cwm 2.5.0.7 because I thought that maybe it is all because of Alpharev's cwm but it isn't. Same thing with cwm 2.5.0.7.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Have you tried full wipe AFTER flashing or you cannot access your recovery? And I think you should stay at alpharev's 2.5.1.8 as they declared that it -should- work with PVT4 devices.
[Desire Android Development] vincenzos:
I can access the recovery and I can flash any other ROM (successfully flashed CyanogenMod yesterday). I am starting to suspect that this is somehow related to sd card partitioning since yesterday I failed to apply DarkTremmor a2sd on CyanogenMod - successfully applied it but the device got stuck again on HTC logo after reboot.

I will try to repartition and reformat the sd card once again.
[Desire Android Development] vincenzos:
It WORKS!!! I wiped all the partitions from the SD card and repartitioned it with parted magic (previously I created the ext3 partition via the Alpharev cwm). Reflashed and everything works perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
I'm glad you've succedeed (:
[Desire Android Development] okan22:
-------edit-----------

wrong thread!!!!

sorry!!!!
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Tried Gingervillain and Oxygen for a while but still doesn't feel like natural. Still waiting for the new DeFroST. :)

Release the OTA Google! Release it! :)
[Desire Android Development] Enhdojo:
EDIT:

I had the same problem with the camera on my phone.

And I think I found what went wrong.

I have a widget called torch. I froced close the application

and I don't get any problem with the camera when using the flash.

Hope that helped and would help others.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I know there is a problem with Led notifications in 6.1a but I seem to have developed a problem on 6.1. Dont know what has happened but in the past few days I moved back to DeFrost from GV, I flashed a few different kernels and a few circlemod battery icons and have noticed that at some point my led notifications have stopped working.

I am getting the orange charging led and green above 90% but nothing for sms, email or missed call.

I have tried nandroid restore, reflashing rom, complete wipe then reflash with no joy, I have tried led me know as well and led doesnt work with the test button on that either.

Anyone got any ideas what could have happened or any ideas how to fix?
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
In my case, the problem was install battery mod. Try Reverting to original framework and all should work fine again
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I made the mistake of not copying my original framework. I thought restoring nandroid would also restore framework?
[Desire Android Development] kecinzer:
I have LED notofication problem too.

I know it's related to themes, but on other ROMs it works.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I flashed Oxygen last night to try it out and my led notifications are working fine!

Ive obviously corrupted something when flashing the battery mod, dont know much about it but I think I must have altered the framework file somehow and neither nandroid restore or full wipe and reflash of rom fixed it.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
nandroid should work fine if your backup was before battery mod. You need Full wipe + Flash, worked fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I did try a full wipe and flash but it didnt sort it, strange. Working ok now on Oxygen so I'll maybe try downloading again when I get fed up with this rom!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Is the original framework no longer in defrost setup? It used to be. Cant check myself as no longer using.

Looks like richard will be solely workign on gingervillain now.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
Na I tried that, file wasnt present.

Looks like it, will move onto GV when the problem with superuser is sorted i think Oxygen is good but miss the CM settings
[Desire Android Development] zhaocs:
I like this rom, steady!

2.3 not steady!:)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Steady for me.

I do miss the battery percentage and custom pulldown from Defrost. Still not in GV.

Theme chooser is nice though.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
There was a new upload of GV this morning, so you shouldn't have the SU problem now. A lot of us never had it in the first place.
[Desire Android Development] popy2006:
Hello.

Are the automatic trigger of car dock is supported when using defrost 6.1a with the htc car kit?

thx

[Desire Android Development] bodx:
Hi, i just reset my phone to factory, and format my sd card, and now my market doesnt run (fc) so what can i do?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Clear market's data first.

/10 char
[Desire Android Development] bodx:
Can you explane how? Please!
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Settings->Applications->Manage applications->All

Find market, open entry, press "Clear data". Something like that.
[Desire Android Development] bodx:
Done, but still the same!!!!
[Desire Android Development] KevAmiga:
Anyone know why the DeFrOst setup doesnt work, or is it just me? Keep getting Not Present when trying to download Addons. The Kernel downloads all work though...
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
With both versions?
[Desire Android Development] KevAmiga:
Ah worked it out old version of defrost.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You can get all of richardtrips work from here - http://xda.richardtrip.org/ - past and present. :)
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
By any chance would the high audio kernel for gv work for 6.1
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No, WiFi and usb drivers are different in gv kernels

If audio playback volume is your.problem, try poweramp
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Will defrost 6.1 feel itself happy on the cm7 alpharev table?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Hmm, I'm always skeptical of 5MB cache partitions.

Its just me but I prefer a custom layout. But this does tie you into using clockworkmod (albeit the best version - 2.5.0.7)

The way I use roms, I have stripped GingerVillain down to about 109MB (flashed) and I think I had defrost about the same, so I get away with:

120, 25, 293
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
its not audio playback its when im watching videos (there never loud enough)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure if you're aware, there is a design flaw where the headphones socket is recessed in such a way that the jack from some headphones doesn't make a proper connection, resulting in low volume. If you're not.using stock headphones, you could be seeing this?
[Desire Android Development] scream_clarity:
I am having trouble getting the circle mod to work. It just goes into boot loops. I wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, flash a clean DeFroST 6.1a rom and reboot. Then I reboot into recovery, flash the circle mod framework and it goes into boot loops every time. Has anyone else had success?
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
Im actually using bluetioth headphones. So that can't be the issue
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
i want to use old school a2sd on defrost w/out moving dalvik cache to extension. how can i achieve this? i saw a 40a2sd cript and cache2sd script in the zip file. can i just delete the cache2sd script?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Try doing that via adb and wipe dalvik before boot. Or re flash Rom without script and wipe dalvik. Wouldn't recommend doing it whilst android is running
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
actually i am running a different rom now so il do a fresh install of defrost. there is no problem then if i erase cache2sd script and flash defrost? thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can remove any script
[Desire Android Development] sdjensen:
I have had DeFrost for some time now, but now I would really like to return to stock ROM. I installed HTC sync, but ofcause this program will not find my phone since HTC Sync is not installed on the phone. Can anyone please refer me to a guide on how I return to stock rom with my phone - thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
goldcard + your stock PB99IMG image that you choose
[Desire Android Development] sdjensen:
This sound very easy, but I have a problem. When I put the sdcard in the phone that I wish to create the goldcard on I get stuck in the boot process - it simply will not boot with other sd cards than my normal card?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Use your own card, just backup it to feel safe.
[Desire Android Development] sdjensen:
I could try this but I fear that I will not be able to boot my phone when I have made this card into a goldcard :(
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
You're booting not from your card (: Anyway, you'll still be able to format it and restore everything back to just like it was before.
[Desire Android Development] sdjensen:
This didn't work. I followed the guide from theunlockr.com on how to create a goldcard and unfortunately it didnt workout with my 16GB kingston memory card. In the process all ext was removed, so right now I am trying to recover - fingers x'ed

Isn't there another way than using Goldcard? I am thinking getting HTC Sync to see the phone with DeFrost installed or perhaps replacing DeFrost using ROM Manager with a ROM that has Sence installed? I tried with Pinky but this failed :(
[Desire Android Development] sdjensen:
Okay - it seems that I finaly succeded.

When I tried to flash to the Pinky ROM I got this error message:

E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I needed to clearing the download cache, and then reflashing recovery. I could then download Pinky again and flash it.

When I had installed Pinky I could now connect to HTC Sync and install the stock ROM.

Thanks for your efford guys.
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
CM7 RC is out...i want a new defrost version! ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The new defrost is gingervillain
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
it isn´t. Gingervallain is a OTA release without CM7 and Defrost will become 2.3 when CM7 released. That is what richard said.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
GV has CM7. But I remember Richard's words too...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes. It is!

When he said that, gv was pure aosp and it was going to stay that way but due to popular demand, Richard started adding cm settings to gv. Oxygen is pure so that aspect is covered.

Gv is not based on cm7 but it does have cm settings and has almost everything defrost had but on a ginger base.

Why would Richard create a new defrost that would be almost exactly the same as gv which he created?

Well he wouldn't.

With 2.2 there was cm, df and then oxygen representing pure aosp.

With 2.3 there is cm, gv and now oxygen representing pure aosp.

Defrost is dead. For me it remains the best 2.2 Rom but we have to face facts, df will doubtfully be progressed because it would be the same as gv.

If you respect Richards work, go to gv because that is his new project. It is essentially a rebadged defrost.

Hell, the download folder is still.called defrostsetup.

How have I come to this conclusion? Well I was with defrost since version 2.9 and gingervillain since 0.6. I've been watching both roms with huge interest

And ota is nothing to do with anything...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Not much to add except +1
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
defrost is not compatible with cwm 3
[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
Soo.. is this rom really EOL?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Cm 7 is out, gingervillain is maintained regularly but no movement on defrost. Looks that way at least for now.

I think its good to easily distinguish between Richards 2.2 and 2.3 roms by name. And he is now a villainRom dev afterall
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
END OF THE LINE GUYS

WHOEVER WANTS GINGERBREAD/UPDATES SWITCH TO GINGERVILLAIN

DEFROST IS DEAD
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
as long as there is no real GRI40 cm7, its too early to speculate... and too early to update to gingerbread if you are not into bugs and playing around.

defrost just works for me.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Defrost was based on cm nightlies so I would have expected it to go that way with GB too.
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
The first CM7 nightly with GRI40 was just released and is not that stable so what do you expect?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure what you think I'm saying. Defrost was based on cm6 nightly since first cm 6 nightly. If one was unstable, Richard would revert things back.

What I'm saying is if defrost was going to continue, it would have started at the first cm7 nightly. But it didn't
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
I dont think you can make valid hypothesis based on one observation. The situation with GingerVillan makes things different too.

But yeah its probably not that likely that he is going to jump the boat now or has time for two roms. But if he wants, then it makes just sense to wait a little bit longer and get more experience with Gingerbread via GingerVillan instead of fixing the same "starter" bugs on two roms at once.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Wake up and smell the roses. Gingerbread is much more stable than DeFrosT. The last 4 or 5 versions have been fully featured and uber stable.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
deleted oiaspodjp;oaj
[Desire Android Development] xenix1:
I dont think so with gingervillain i got 1 reboot a day so defrost 6.1a is stable .I tryed other ginger roms the same launcher pro is laggy some times and the standart launcher is slow .
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I have absolutely no random restarts using GV.

Then again I never had any issues with DeFrost either.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that GV is more stable than DeFrost, but it certainly doesn't seem any less stable in any case.

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] xenix1:
I wouldn't say gv is instable but on my desire no ginger rom runs reboot free . gv is a reat rom especially the cm7 mod. And i will install gv if this problem is solved. Any ideas how to fix this ????
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
there is no big problem with GB Roms. It seems that you are not worth it :(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It could simply be a different kernel you need. Some testing may be needed for a stable one.

Richard is working hard on gv so he can get it stable for all.
[Desire Android Development] Sashtheflash:
is it only me who cant dowload this link directly in desire browser? ive installed unrar and androzip? and still doesnt work
[Desire Android Development] :
Richard,

is it possible for you to de-odex the next release;) So we just have to wipe dalvik-cache and not a full wipe?

[Desire Android Development] r0bby666:
since i update 0.7 uvoc to 0.8 uvoc i cant set cpu clock to 1267mhz, only 998 is present
[Desire Android Development] erdnaxela67:
facebook sync in 0.8 mean contacts are sync with facebook like htc sense ?
[Desire Android Development] :
Its because your setcpu text file only goes to 998mhz, you need to add the higher frequencys to the text file
[Desire Android Development] oawalker:
Same here but you need to download a fresh copy of setcpu.txt and it should work
[Desire Android Development] oawalker:
Is it possible to add htc sense keyboard on this rom??
[Desire Android Development] codeXcalibur:
+1 "Content not supported"
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
i got serious issues, not sure if I did anything wrong as I did the wipe/factory reset option in the ROM manager recovery and then installed defrost but I loose 1% of battery every 5 mins!! I had to downclock cpu to 638mhz to make it last thru the night and it used about 12% overnight with ultimate juice night mode on. So that was normal but at 998mhz it just does not last long at all.
[Desire Android Development] asci:
+1 "Content not supported", I also installed Astro and enabled download option for the browser...
[Desire Android Development] dancedreamfly:
Download jonasl's HTC_IME mod here.
[Desire Android Development] C0r:
Any way to reset the Wifi tethering settings?

I tried setting up an AP with 7.0d (WPA encrypted). When I turn it on, it loads for a few seconds, then simply says "error". And I cant get to the settings page anymore, because the AP must be turned on for that. Update to 0.8 caused no difference.
[Desire Android Development] Junp3i:
People who phone me/people i phone are still reporting that they can hear themselves clearly when they speak.

I dont hear any of this, So i'm assuming that when I recieve audio is being simultaneously transmitted to the Speaker and the Microphone.

ive made some additional mirrors:

[Desire Android Development] oawalker:
Thanks Htc sense keyboard works perfectly
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
anyway we can MOD this with a black status bar?
[Desire Android Development] dancedreamfly:
Not with the current version, but once richardtrip releases a de-odexed version, you'll be able to.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
ok thanks

I will try the de-odexed version till richard releases his :)
[Desire Android Development] Sashtheflash:
how about putting this in the rom manager?

would be nice
[Desire Android Development] jolaren:
:-)???

Anyone could respond to this? I really don't want to wipe and try for nothing
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Good to hear from you Dan,oops I mean rootsu.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] xenix1:
Ok i tryed all kernels havs svs from gv setup and coutts kernel from 875 to 925 havs and svs . I think i wait time fix a lot :-). When i search the gv thread for reboot issues ther is another one who got the problem .
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
A lot of us are using EViollet's kernels (links in his thread in this forum). Personally I've never had any problems with these plus GV.

To be fair I've also never had a reboot with Richard's GV kernels either, but I've used EViollet's ones a lot more.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
What's with the aggression? Wow.

My experience of GV was that it doesn't work with google restore, that the bluetooth pairing was flakey (to say the least) and that it was unstable.

DeFroST, on the other hand, is completely stable. I have an uptime of weeks, battery life is a full day and bluetooth is seamless.

I'm yet to see anything in GB that's worth losing that.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I do seem to recall you having some issues.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yo my man!
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
For anyone who cares, I tried GV1.5 this weekend: google restore still doesn't work but all my other problems seem (touch wood) to be resolved - bluetooth pairing is now fine and it hasn't crashed yet.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Are you staying with us now or going back to 2.2?
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
I am most worried about the reboot-bootloop problem on GB ROM's. Are you guys not experiencing this problem?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Definitely not.

Been using GV for several weeks now and haven't seen a single unwanted reboot.

And haven't read of any bootloop rebooting in the forum either.

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The only reboots I have had are down to undervolting my kernel too low. GingerVillain is as stable as defrost. Its just not quite their in terms of 3rd part app support and a couple of features.

But since Defrost is no more, give it a go. You can always come back.
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
Do you guys recommend the latest version of GV?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I would recommend 1.4.

1.5 seems to have GPS issues, and I have other issues with third party Bluetooth toggling with it.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I agree. I use 1.5 and the reported bugs do not affect me (My GPS is always on, see no need to turn it off and don't use bluetooth) But 1.4 certainly seems less buggy in regards to what people have reported.
[Desire Android Development] jkissane:
After five months with DeFrost I made the jump to Ginger Villain 1.6 this week, all seems to be working ok so far. The only issue I've seen is that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi with a hidden SSID so I had to unhide it. Not using Bluetooth so can't comment on how well it works.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That's odd. My ssid remains hidden.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
I had this problem on nightlys, I had to make sure that I type in the ssid correctly with caps, as well as password, and then it worked.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] jkissane:
Thanks for the feedback, it connects successfully once the SSID is broadcast so I know the name & password are correct. Just tried again now by changing it to hidden & it won't connect, back to broadcast & working again.

It's not a big deal as I can just leave it as non-hidden for now.
