My battery seems great but i am not using HAVS. I'm just using the SVS 1267mhz kernel.

I went to bed at 01:16 with my phone at exactly 80%.

06:28 when i got up for work battery was at 77%.

That is only 3% loss in 5 hours and 14 minutes.

Phone was used as an alarm in the morning. I checked Facebook then went to work. Checking the time every now and then and 10 minutes web browsing on break. By 13:10 it was at 66%.

That makes 14% battery usage in around 12 hours. Weather refreshes every hour. Twitter every 4 hours. I do use JuiceDefender and also have SetCPU set to keep cpu at 245mhz when the screen is off. The rest of the time it is allowed to go up to 1267mhz.

I'm loving this rom. :)

Wait a couple of hours into tomorrow and someone will have an update.zip created that will have the stock update from HTC but also rooted. It's the best option unless you want to risk losing root.
[Desire Android Development] ivan_white:
yeah thats what i thought but i can't wait am so eager :D but i shall wait for my official froyo and then in like 3 days go back to mods and custom roms cos sense ain't worth it :D
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
If the new Froyo update has an update for HBOOT you may not be able to root again.
[Desire Android Development] ImBarryScot:
I'm sick and tired of running out of space on this bloody phone. I recently installed Defrost's Froyo port assuming that I could just transfer all my apps to SD card but it turns out that not many of my apps have transfer to SD enabled.

Also, does transferring to SD still leave some data on the internal memory? It seems that way.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
You can use the Defrost setup app to force allow the apps to install to SD. However you need to move any app with a widget you use to the phone memory as they will not work properly. Some data will still be stored on the phone.

If you use rom manager and reformat your SD card with an EXT partition then it will automatically use old school a2sd. This will install every app to sd card and even widgets will still work properly. Phone memory will still go down with this method but not as fast.

I have 50+ apps and my phone storage is still 83.93mb using an EXT partition on my sd card :)
[Desire Android Development] ImBarryScot:
Hmm. So would you recommend using the old A2SD method?

I have to admit. The only reason I rooted was so I could install Froyo early. As it turns out I only got it two days early as they're release it in Europe this weekend anyway. But the way I see it, I may as well just stick with custom roms now.

Do I have to use ROM Manager? Obviously I have it installed because it comes with Defrost but I haven't used it. Also, doesn't ROM Manager expect you to flash ClockworkMod using it? I already have ClockworkMod from unrEVOked.
[Desire Android Development] mattharris26:
You can create an EXT partition on your SD card from recovery menu:

Using the trackpad select Partition sdcard > Partition SD

Select swap=0, EXT2=512 and set the remaining to FAT32.

Select the SD:ext2 to ext3 option in this menu.

Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and reboot.

It is just easier using ROM manager!
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I've no comment on this problem but I used to use exchange to my WinMo phone and it actually turned out to use less battery to maintain a push connection than it did to collect every 30 minutes.

This makes more sense than you might at first think: consider that GPRS/3g data only uses battery when it's sending or receiving data, and consider the size of the keepalives used by the ActiveSync protocol; then compare that to the amount of data used to create and tear-down a connection, including authentication and comparison of current inbox vs server... it makes sense. Your keepalives could probably be 1 packet a minute and still use less data (and AIUI the keepalive time is adaptive, yes?)

It's obviously more complex because the GPRS session will be sending data periodically too, I guess, but real-world testing backs this up. If I were you I'd give it a try and see.

[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
Hi Richard. Love your roms XD I wonder will you have a trick to gain the battery life when running at 1.26Ghz? Ur rom is extremely fast :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I REALLY REALLY recommend old a2sd method. It's the most effective. You will need to backup all your data form your sd card to your pc before you format it with an ext partition as it will wipe the fat32 partition also.

You don't need Rom Manager if you have experience using Linux you can manually partition your SD card. I think it's FAT32 first partition and make sure EXT is the end partition.
[Desire Android Development] mattharris26:
Oh yeah and I forgot to mention backup your SD card as it will wipe it!
[Desire Android Development] ImBarryScot:
Cheers, guys. I'll give it a bash (geddit? I'm hilarious) when I get home tonight.
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
can anyone please tell me how to enable wma in Defrost?
[Desire Android Development] tienha:
hi Richard,pls tell me,why i cant use Phone.apk 3.01 Froyo on your Rom.Cytown's phone.apk said that AOSP rom can install that app? He said you can compile it with the code from github?! hepl thanks
[Desire Android Development] nvidia134:
Hi,

I wonder whether setcpu is install in the rom? i can't see it in my application list. any help?

Very nice work bro....many many thanks from Greece
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
hey, I have some questions.

Have you removed norwegian language?

Where is the HAVS kernels?

My phone auto-rotates even though I have set it to "off".

Thanks for an amazing rom btw
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
As I said before, try to uncheck "sync calendar"

In my case it was syncking continuously even if sync was desactivated in the "power bar"
[Desire Android Development] nvidia134:
Hi,

Thanks bro. I thought i did something wrong during flashed and the apps is not showing=)
[Desire Android Development] :
I noticed there is an update.zip on the sdcard, and a recovery-update.zip on sdcard/clockwordmod. They have the exact same size (I'm guessing they're identical. Any ideas what is the difference?
[Desire Android Development] BlackDragonBE:
Is there a reason why the havs kernel was removed? Because I'm using it now and it seems ok.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
I have done this through rom manager but with a swap file the default option.

Is this bad? Is it better to not have a swap file?
[Desire Android Development] Curfish:
Heres a tip for people with awful battery life.

try doing a full wipe of your phone. but dont restore any backups from titanium or nandroid. obviously restore you google account for contacts etc. but dont installed any apps from backup.

Then test for a day or so. if your battery life improves reinstall you apps from the market and only restore the app data. i think apps can get corrupted and dont close properly or somthing!!

I was getting around 10 to 12 hours on medium use, but now get about 24 hours.
[Desire Android Development] madnlooney:
how do i do this? i have activated all installs to location 2 but widgets now disappeared as mentioned.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Settings. Applications. Select each one individually and select move to phone.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
You might also need to reboot after moving the applications back to phone memory, before you are able to install as a widget.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Ok gone more than 48 hours on this rom now but i've dropped below 30% now so i'm charging it. I haven't settled on a rom for ages after using Sense roms, Defrost, CyanogenMod 6 and now i've had this rom on for dayyyyyyyyyys. Can't seem to find a fault with it!

Only thing i miss from Cyanogen is the colour theme but i could port that over if i ever learn how to.

Still would like option to hide visual zoom controls in browser. :D
[Desire Android Development] tienha:
your Rom is awesome!!!would U can include Phone.apk by Cytown for the next verson,that's very very usefull,thanks man
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
On 2.5, has anyone experienced an issue where the phone will spontaneously reboot, and then get stuck in a boot/restart loop? Only pulling the battery for 30 seconds will break the cycle.
[Desire Android Development] Mountainjew:
I've been running this rom for about 5 days now, and i've only just noticed that i lose reception while the phone is turned off. It takes about 1 minute to get any sort of signal when i wake it up. Obviously this is unacceptable, since i'll be missing calls. Am i missing some setting? I'm using the latest radio...
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I have signal at all times and receive calls when phone is "screen off". Also no boot loops or reboots at all so far.
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
I've had no problems with this ROM since I flashed back the SVS kernel. Everything working great and battery life good too. Really stable for me.
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
2. 5 is awesome !! I cannot found any bug and battery rocks!

Thanks a lot for this ROM Richard!
[Desire Android Development] Mountainjew:
I think it's the radio...Since i'm getting the same issue on sensefroyo....Then again, could be a local problem :(
[Desire Android Development] deepdarkspirit:
I sometimes get this problems i've had it a few times but normally I format the cache and the bootloops dissappear

I love 2.5a, the only thing I don't like is the LEDs have changed back to the original like HTC's. I miss the pink and blue and green and orange flashing LEDs :(
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
nvm wrong thread
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
This rom is very stable now. Battery life ias excellent at 1.26ghz. It just drained 30% after a day with wifi and msn talk running. Can't wait until the next version with better music player and camera :)
[Desire Android Development] ernell:
Better music player (will replace the original player):

Newer version that will not replace the original player (from market)

[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
i can not download the flashplayer in the market (item not found), any advice?
[Desire Android Development] MastaPole:
Wipe with Titanium backup the market app.

[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Does it fix the gapless mp3 problem?
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Thx, works perfect :cool:
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Hello Richard! ;) I was wondering which new features we can expect now with the new radio out, will it be possible to get 720p and perhaps the radio back? Been using this rom since 1.4 or something and I must say that you do a super job! Gonna donate a beer soon! :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Sick of seeing all these official Froyo threads already. It's all about the Defrost for me! Can't wait to see some more features added to this. Screw sense.
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
just installed new radio 5.09.00.20 and have no problems with defrost 2.5a
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
How are you getting this awesome battery life??? I'm running the standard 2.5a 998mhz kernel and only just getting a day out of it... :confused:

What are your stats?
[Desire Android Development] sandpappa:
+1 On that 720p recording. But the radio seems to work fine for me :)
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
This :)

.........................
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I use auto brightness.

Juice Defender. Just installed no tweaks.

SetCPU installed. Overclocked to 1267mhz, Profiles set. Always allow up to 1267 when charging. Underclock to 500 odd mhz when below 45% battery. Always set at 245mhz when the screen is off.

That's about it really. Use my phone quite a lot. Web browsing, music playing. Facebook. Weather updates every hour.

I think he might have meant the FM Radio ported?
[Desire Android Development] :
WiFi sleep NOT fixed..

what info do you need Richard?
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Of course :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I have no problems with wifi sleep. Have you gone to settings, wifi, pressed menu, selected advanced, set wifi sleep to never and pressed menu and save?
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Oh right plenty of help from the software then. Haven't used SetCPU before, is it straight forward?
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
I totally agree with this!
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Just installed SetCPU and applied the suggested settings... guess I'll wait and see :)
[Desire Android Development] :
yup, done and saved.. that's why it's annoying >.<

i have the 38:E7 MAC.. If that had something to do with it :)

That's my only complain in this ROM :p
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Personally i noticed a big difference. However all it takes is for you to install one bad app that makes bad calls and it can really adversely affect your battery life. If you think your battery life is really bad on a certain rom. I recommend nandroid backup. Wipe, flash full rom. Do not reinstall apps and run as it is for one day.

This is how you can really tell if you have an app problem or just use your phoen a lot :P
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Well I'm noticing a big difference in charging speed which is a good sign. Do you know of any way to check for app related drain? Thanks again for the pointers, much appreciated
[Desire Android Development] tk1978:
Is richardtrip on holiday? Nothing read from him a long time.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Am i right in thinking i can just flash the new radio with no problems then?? (also running 2.5a) - What does the new radio bring at this time?.. Should i wait till Mr Trip incorporates it into a new defrost???
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Do a factory wipe when you flash it then flash everything else afterwards. Are you sure you haven't already installed it? It's been around since 2.0/2.1. Check 'Baseband Version' in 'About Phone'.
[Desire Android Development] tk1978:
????. there is a new one released today!!
[Desire Android Development] tk1978:
you can flash it. you do not need to wipe anything. it works fine here since 2 hours..
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
+1 flashed, no wipe. All is good, will let you know if anything changes. That's the newest .20 radio, from another pg/thread on xda.

Have u guys tryed any offcial Sense rom yet?

I did an tryed a couple one's... my honnest opinion.. HTC did a very very bad job.

The rom's lag.. almost no new functions.

And they are very slow.. i cant believe Sense screwed up FroYo this mutch..

Il stick whit DeFrost that's atleast fast :D
[Desire Android Development] :
battery drained from 71% to 14% in 11 hours where nothing was touched at all..

wifi sleep still not fixed..

oh, and in those 11 hours the phone was in airplane mode

it's the screen, android os, and cell standby taking most battery

Thanks HTC anyway for the Desire Hardware, but you can keep your badly software.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Ah I get it, it hought it was the FM Radio :D
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Which Radio ROM?

What is the best radio rom to use with 2.5a?
[Desire Android Development] kwaille:
Official 2.2 tested too,back to defrost on next update...

The only part i like on Official is the HTC gallery.

720p is too laggy,useless for me...

Keep on working Richard!Thanks to you!

Édit:the last radio works with 2.5a,dunno if it's the best choice...
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
Just use any of the 5x radio's

But i do prefer using the official one (look in my sign for the dl link)
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
for me its the latest 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Hope you don't mind i used your info in the second post (credits go to you!). Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] deovferreira:
Richard, can you get your kernel under version control somewhere? If you use something like GIT it would be possible to have branches for oc, uv, for both, for audio hack. It would also be easier to contribute patches.
[Desire Android Development] Spoinky:
I really love the ROM, first I was only installing it to see what it was like, I knew I'd lose all the HTC goodies which is why I didn't go for it right away. But I can life with that for now and you trade it in for a great OS, using the Chrome extension to send links from my PC to my phone in a heartbeat and I love it:D

Would post a link to it but can't, new user... Just Google for Chrome To Phone
[Desire Android Development] karhart:
Hi. I'm a newbie to these forums but not new to Android. However, I thought I'd try to flash my Desire with this rom.

I've got the steps down and I know what to do, but my question is if this is brick-free? It'd be a shame to wreck my new phone... :)

I've read the entire thread and I'm not sure if anyone's asked this yet.
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
flashing any rom using recovery is a little risky at the moment and can randomly cause problems

fortunately a solution has been found to fix the usb-brick problem. if it should happen, just use the information here to fix it:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
I think you should read the whole forum for an idea!!

Anyway, no it's not brick free, but if you do brick it you can fix it fairly easilly now.

Seriously though have a look around and you will see no end of threads on usb brick.
[Desire Android Development] karhart:
I've also read the usb-brick-fix-thread. And it is nice to know that there is a fix.

But still - I don't know if I can wait much longer. :) Been wanting to do this since the first time I read about deFrost. But if I follow the instructions 100% there should be no problem, no? Or is it different from phone to phone like when you OC cpus in a computer?
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
no, it's completely random because of the way the recovery is pushed to the phone
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Now that there is a fix, I'd say go for it. The usb issue is fairly random but no longer a reason not to flash!

I have used this rom and am trying out evil's froyo rom at the minute. Neither is perfect but if you can live with the tiny niggles then give it a go :D

Edit: gonna stop replying now so I don't keep repeating pyro. lol.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
I have found a bug with BT. As the BT headsets works fine no file transfer via BT is possible. Device pairs with PC fine but while sending a file to desire screen flash for a while and error on PC pops up. The other way there is an error as well.
[Desire Android Development] 007shaolin:
Do we still have to use adb commands to get apps2sd working?
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
adb shell or just use a terminal emulator app on the phone
[Desire Android Development] karhart:
And usb-brick is the only known issue? No other way to frakk up the phone?

Just a quick question to all bluetooth users: does this new froyo port allow for push-to-talk bluetooth activation - i.e. does it overcome the previous lack of full bluetooth remote support?
[Desire Android Development] martinlong78:
Of course not... it might cut down on the repeated questions, and hopefully get people to their answer sooner. ;-)

btw... is your kernel under vcs? I wouldn't mind a play if it is.

Thanks

[Desire Android Development] karhart:
Lol. Good advice. I'm near a flower, will that affect the process? ;)

But I'm still a little unsure if I should go ahead.What if my phone breaks down after I root it (nonbooting accident) and I have to send it for repairs..? Not smart.
[Desire Android Development] sruon:
Unless you pull the battery during a radio flash you should be fine.
[Desire Android Development] martinlong78:
Some people who had USB bricks managed to get theirs repaired on warranty (before a fix was found). It's highly unlikely anything bad will happen, but I guess it's always possible. But then, you could get run over by a bus.

[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
I just installed this ROM and it by now it's one of the best "stock" froyo roms I already tried.

One of the new features of froyo I like is the additional screen lock by pin, gesture or password.

But:

In LeeDroid's ROM I was able to set a timeout when this "screen lock" will be active. In DeFrost ROM it's active as soon as the normal screen lock gets active or never.

Is it possible to add this timeout to the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] hungrysquid:
With SetCpu on,screen off, wifi off, auto-sync off, I can get to 1% per hour battery usage.

But with screen on, man, it's draining like crazy. Most of my battery usage is from screen.

Do ppl use auto brightness at all? Or do you manually turn the brightness to lowest always? I do envy the iPhone 4 bright screen on all time...
