But the drain takes place both on idle and when active. When the phone is on sleep, I get like 5% drop per 9hours.. and with wifi on or gaming, it starts droppinh continuously.

Will test and report back w/ other radios. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It's trial and error. Go back to leedroid and see if it as good as before...
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Problem is, I can't stand Sense ROMs anymore :(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It's just a test. Nandroid backup, leedroid for a day. If is as good as before at least you rule out battery fault. Then maybe you need to find new rom.

If battery is bad, replace
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Just for the record, nandroid backups preserve all user data/apps/system data , right ? So all returns back to normal when I get back to this ROM ?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
For those of you that liked Ephumuris' Blufrost/Gefrost, I have got round to updating them to DF 5.1 @ http://www.iinga.net/desire/themes
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It will restore the phone exactly as was. It's a snapshot of your phone. Obviously if you restore an old nandroid, sms received since taking it will be lost, as will call logs but that's it really
[Desire Android Development] cq914:
ummm.... never realised it till now.... can't send or receive MMS on this ROM while was doing so in 4.2........ did anybody find a fix for it??
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Just sent and received test MMS. Working fine for me with the new radio.
[Desire Android Development] solvent:
I cannot Sync with my PC

There is no option to connect the phone to the computer via HTC Sync. WTF??????????
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
yep, it's because it's without HTC Sense.

If you need Outlook Sync you'll either take a Sense ROM, or sync via an Exchange Server, or buy third party software like gSyncIt.
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
Probably because the rom doesn't run HTC software. Its the same with all AOSP roms
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Forget HTC Sync if you are using these custom ROM's. The best way to sync is through Google (Contacts/Calendar etc.). I was syncing with Outlook with my unrooted phone, I have found this way to be a lot better.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Because there is no HTC Sense interface you can't connect your phone using HTC sync...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Still no fix for me. On latest radio
[Desire Android Development] laurence0609:
This one is working and looks great with v5.1! Thanks for sharing the Blufrost
[Desire Android Development] ZanzarastA:
Hi. I see that in the last 2 days I cant perform installs or update from the market of some apps (I try to update 3G wathdog, fruit ninja, visual task switcher...And the inatallations of google maps, skymaps, swiftkey... falls ). There are someone else that have my same problem?

I run defrost 5. 1 with app pack
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
It downloads but does not start the installation?

Try it several times. Abort the download/installation, and start it again, try it a few times.

If that's your issue, then I have the same. But I have it since a few weeks already and I think it's googles fault. Just try it a few times, should work sometime.
[Desire Android Development] cq914:
yeah same running the latest radio :((( no luck
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Come to think of it, I have had a couple of failed installations for market updates. I've also had some successful ones.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Did factory reset and works. Titanium restore then fail. So its as suspected

Will have to try and isolate
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Which radio? I have been trying to send and receive MMS since 4.9 version and never been able to have flashed the recommended radio that is in the first page of this thread but it never sends nor receive the MMS.

Any ideas on this?
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
I have one issue at the moment.

Every now and then if I restart or do a fresh boot it enters a boot loop at the boot animation while loading. I have to press vol down + power + oj to force a reset and then it boots up without an issue?

Any idea?

I did a full wipe, I cleared the SD card, I repartitioned the SD card, I don't use a custom theme at the moment, I haven't restored system settings with Titanium Backup, it also occurs if I don't touch titanium backup at all.

At the moment I use DeFroST 5.0 HAVS, also had this without HAVS kernel. I use the latest Radio ROM 5.11.05.14, and haven't updated RIL, because I think I don't have to if DeFrost suggests this radio.

So any ideas what this could be?
[Desire Android Development] Tutti-frutti:
Jup, (almost) same story here. At night, the raw value shown in the custom settings menu of cyanogenmod is 95+% of the time at 10 lux, but once in a while it jumps to 255. It causes the buttonlights to turn off/on, even when I use filtering :confused:

Little bit annoying.. But I can remember that I already had this problem the last time I flashed DeFroST, which was version 4.3.

More info:

DeFroST version 5.0

Kernel: HAVS 5.0a

SetCPU: both with and without SetCPU enabled.

Radio: .48 with RIL (I guess it's not related to this, because it worked well on OD roms)

Amoled screen
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Radio 5.11.05.14. I would be checking your APN settings. At one stage one of the radio's gave me the incorrect APN and I couldn't send/receive MMS.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I.found.that if I wipe data in sms mms prefs in titanium it then works
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
I do have problems installing apps from the market, it takes ages to do it and sometimes even to download them. However I have not had yet an unsuccessful download or installation
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Do you have a link for this radio? Where can I download it?

I know which radio you mean sorry for the stupid question
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Go back to page one of this thread.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Thanks for the idea, I checked my APN settings and realize that everything was perfect except the port, I changed the port and now I am able to send MMS have not yet tried to received but will be testing very soon. :)

*Edit* It does receive also :D
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Well I decided against performing a nandroid restore.

In any case, can anybody comment on such battery drains:

Idle/Sleep: Around 1% per hour

Wifi ON + market surfing + XDA app surfing: 3% per 10 min
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
I believe without setcpu you can install anything you like, it just wont overclock it.

But since you want long lasting, My recommend would be;

don't overclock and install HAVS998Mhz
[Desire Android Development] Kinma:
SetCPU is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Maybe that's not far off correct. How bright is your screen? Thats the biggest killer. I turn mine right down.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Have brightness adjusted to 27%.

But I remember you mentioning that your battery goes down by like 20-30% in an interval of like 16 hours or so? What was your consumption in that period of time? Wifi on, phone calls, etc...
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks, added to defrost setup.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No, it goes down TO 20-30%
[Desire Android Development] fossean:
Just checking in quickly to say that the last two Havs kernels have been rock solid. Currently using HAVS 5.1 @ 998MHz, battery drain is less than 1%/hour at idle.

Although that is pretty academic if I play Robo Defence for two hours and lose 20%/hour! :)
[Desire Android Development] Kinma:
I have about the same or slightly better.

idle/sleep: 0.5% per hour.

surfing 1% per 3-5 minutes.

No wifi, all data transfer is 3g.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
I see. Then perhaps what I'm experiencing as drain is normal for this ROM. On Leedroid's Sense ROM I once got an uptime for my phone of 3-4 days without charging. Then again, it was almost always on idle during that period.

On second thought, I got 5% decrease in battery overnight in a 9 hour period of time. That's around 0.5% an hour.

I guess I've been worrying for no reason then?
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Switched from LeeDroid 2.2 to DeFrost 5.1. :-)))

Only two Problems for now:

1. Battery Icons are not available on the Server at this Time!?

2. Where can i get MarketEnabler?
[Desire Android Development] phrenzi:
I've probably asked this before, but does any know why CIFS works in OD and not DF?

I'd like to switch back to DF, but keep getting "unknown device" error, when connecting to a share.

Thanks

I have tried to install this rom coming from supervillain, all i am getting is stuck in a bootloop i have wiped data etc please help if anyone can.

try installing any older defrost rom from here http://xda.richardtrip.org/

and then the new one on top of it
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
With a proper wipe it shouldn't bootloop (just tried to be 100% sure). Never flash any mod before first boot.

Gallery 3D Highres

Hi.

Is it necessary to reflash Gallery 3D highres each time there's an update to the ROM?

I can't find Adobe Flash on the market, running DeFrost 5.1. Even though, I could find it on the previous 4.0 versions.

Defrost 5.1. Great
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
And how do I use the HTC keyboard mod?
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
Thank you for this information! I already downloaded SetCPU anyway, so I am going to try the HAVS1113 first.

And thank you Kinma for the SetCPU link!

Edit: hell yeah, im running HAVS 1113 MHz.. awesome. Quadrant scores are above 1600.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
If you got 3-4 days without charging with any of these Android phones, you should call Guiness book of records. Most of these smartphones, including the Iphone need to be charged every second day depending on use.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Long press on a text field and click 'input method'. You can then choose from installed keyboards.
[Desire Android Development] rs1800:
I have exactly this problem too. Anyone know how to fix it please?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Which set up did you put on SetCPu? Are you using ondemand?

Does anybody recommend any other one or does this one make the deal?
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Hmm.. I still have the problem, that i can't switch to the camcorder when camera is focused.

Anyways..

Here the CN (=CG with new charger) with colored(not the ones from the kitchen) and standard icons for 5.1. :)
[Desire Android Development] tantto:
Why can't I find Adobe Flash Player on the market?
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
Yes, its on 'ondemand'. The only thing I did was slide the Max slider from 998 to 1113 MHz.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
HAVS 1113 working great, and now that i fixed MMS I could say that this ROM is the best of the best.

When I get my salary I will donate to you and your great team Richard you deserve it a lot :)
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Hmmm that's to bad. Really liked those colored icons.
[Desire Android Development] Ivanovic:
HAVS kernels without setcpu behave like stock kernels?

I m asking cuz so far with 5.0a havs 1133mhz i m getting great battery life and stability without using setcpu.
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
Working great thanks!

Richard, just want to say Havs 998 has been solid for over a day, trying 1113 now. previous Havs kernels bsod on me.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Yes you are running at stock speed if you aren't using Set CPU to OC.
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
I connect to several wifi networks, home, work and friends home without any problem my phone remembers them all if you don't click forget.

Running 5.1 since Friday only issue I had was sorted by clearing the cache of TB, Set CPU and Clockworkmod.
[Desire Android Development] svrroot:
I mentioned this week's ago and Richard made the apps.zip (thank you therefore)

for my feeling is way is perfect to build a slim, stable and customable rom.
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
Thats what i do, just tick off 'ondemand'
[Desire Android Development] mortmaru:
He did say his phone was mostle idle so it's possible I just got 56 hours out of defrost 4.8 mostly idle with a few calls here or there.

Hello at first thank u for this great rom update v5.1. Defrost is my favorite. But I find a bulk. When I want record a 720p video and made changes (in the first position of settings right Side) from otomatik focus to touch focus mode the camera dont stop try to focus. Also when I don't touch. Sorry for my english. Anybody else same bulk ?
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
It so happens that I don't always get the time to spend on my smartphone and therefore it ends up on idle. All I'm saying is that I got 3 days of battery life without usage.

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but that's how it is. Maybe I'll try your Guiness suggestion braso.

Generally, I appreciate constructive replies rather than sarcastic ones. But thanks anyway.
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:
Im the same way. I'm going on day 3, with 14% battery life left. A majority of my phone is used for tethering and SMS. The rest, its idled or on pandora. Either way, I'm running OD with the old HAVs build. I cant complain at all about battery life.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks, mods are up.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
The most important kernel change for havs (to get it stable) was from IntersectRaven. For the BSOD problem i think we have to thank Kali-.

Nothing special in your dmesg log. But as long as it wakes i hope it's just a one time problem.
[Desire Android Development] Kazuya17:
Love the blue Galaxy theme, only thing missing for me is % on battery.

Anyone?

P.S, finally no BSOD on sleep with HAVS, nice job Richard :).
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Why do you slide from 998 to 1113 mhz because of the HAVS you use? I mean if you have 1113 Havs shall I change in SetCpu to 1113? and if you are using 998 shall you keep it to 998MHZ?
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
Autobrightness - Too Bright

Probably a simple question, but which settings under "Automatic Backlight" do I have to adjust to lower the brightness when using "autobrightness" setting?

I want to save more battery usage during use of the phone, currently the autobrightness is brighter than I need.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It defaults to 998, whatever kernel you are using.

If you have 1113, and don't change it, it stays 998 max clock. On first boot after flashing 1113, slide it to max 1113 and then it is max 1113 forevermore.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
You can enable the battery percentage through Cyanogenmod settings.
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
Settings, cmsettings, UI, auto backlight, light levels, use.custom, edit other levels. You.can use Richards settings from his Sig or.make your own. At the very top you have actual readings/setting. Left collunm is filter reading middle screen bright and right is.button lights. I have mine set lower than Richards and buttons always.off.
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
perfect. thanks a lot!
[Desire Android Development] braso:
If you look at my posts, I do actually help people when I can. I have been seeing you whine about the battery life of this (free) ROM for the last week or so. If you don't like it, go back to what you had. No-one else has been having a battery drain with the last couple of ROM's so it must be something to do with one of your programs. The Guiness comment was meant to be a light hearted jibe. No need to get upset. I use my phone and there is no way I could go 2 days let alone 3 or 4 without charging it.
[Desire Android Development] Atse:
Flashed to 5.1 SVS 998 yesterday and swapped to the 998 HAVS kernel this morning, everything goin' good so far. So BIG thanks to the dev(s)!

This was the first time I installed a custom ROM, main reasons I switched were:

1) I don't care too much for Sense

2) I want to save more battery

So as for point 2, I have a question. I've read here that the HAVS kernels are more battery-efficient, but is there any difference between the 1113 and 998 MHz kernels (battery wise)? I don't care too much about speed, I was quite happy with the "stock" speed so to say, although this custom ROM is prettty snappy!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you don't overclock the 1113, it defaults to 998 ergo - same battery consumption. If you overclock it, then there will be more.

If you're not going to overclock it, there's no point getting the 1113.
[Desire Android Development] Atse:
Thanks danfrance, I'll stick with the 998 HAVS! I'm all for stability and long battery life!
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
So is 998 HAVS more stable and with better battery life than 1113?

If so when I flash 998 HAVS do I need to change settings on SetCpu??
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I haven't used 998 HAVS but 1113 since 5.0 has been perfectly stable for me.

1113 set at 998 is exactly the 998 in every way. As they all default to 998, if using 998 you dont need to do anything in set cpu. You only really need set cpu if you need to overclock with the 1113.

Obviously if you overclock to 1113, when your CPU is running at 100% (which is 1113) this will use more battery than 998 @100%. But it will be faster for it.

it wont be running constantly at 1113 when overclocked though, only if the system requires it.
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Does anybody know where the bootanimation of cyanogen is located in this rom?

Today I tried to flash an other bootanimation but instead of getting that animation I got the cyanogen bootanimation instead...???

fixed it: the bootanimation file was corrupted...
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
When you read a post you don't like you simply refrain from replying. The reason I'm bringing my issue up is because most other people are not having this problem, hence why it's called an issue. If you don't have an answer nor a suggestion, you'd better do something useful with your time. I never once blamed the author of this rom for any of my problems and you have no business in what rom I want to use.

Moving on now, has anybody found the SVS kernels to be somewhat faster than the HAVS ones? And concerning battery life, they both seem to consume the same for me. Specifically the 5.1 versions.
[Desire Android Development] davce99:
Hi, it's worknig the FM RADIO or not with this rom???
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I don't know where the boot animation is kept, but I just drop my replacement animations into data/local/bootanimation.zip
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No, FM radio only works currently on HTC sense ROMS. This is AOSP ROM.

Can't understand peoples obsession with FM radio to be honest.

Maybe because I am in the UK where all radio stations are crap ;)
[Desire Android Development] Kazuya17:
Thanks! I thought it would create another notification on the bar, didnt think it would overlay the original battery.

Ive used various CM based rooms and had no problems previously with the auto brightness settings. Now im using DeFrost (5.1, after full wipe/reset) and I'm unable to save my custom levels. I click save and apply and the button becomes greyed out as if the settings have been saved and applied, but then the next time you enter this screen all the levels are set back to the defaults.

Apologies if this is a know issue i couldn't see anything.....anyone else?

Anyone else having problems with the gallery? When I add new images to my SD I have to reboot to get the folder to appear in the gallery. If I then try and view images, after viewing a couple the folder disappears again and I have to reboot to get it to appear again.

Same is happening when I try and apply custom icons to LauncherPro. When I select Custom Icon it takes me to the gallery, but my icon folder is not visible. I have to reboot, apply the custom icon and then reboot again before I can see my icons again.

I've tried both gallery add-ons in Defrost Setup. Have also reflashed 5.1 but still getting same problem.

Any ideas? Thanks.
