Echo for Callers

I've used the latest two radios on the 5.7 ROM and my callers are still complaining of echo when they talk to me. I'm in USA on ATT network. Any suggestions? I thought this had been fixed.
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
ADW, Titanium, Rom Manager and Marketfix updated and fixed in 5.8?
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
Just installed 5.8 and now the market is down here... i cannot download anything (this is NOT caused by Defrost).

Hope i can restore my apps tomorow...
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Here too - since 12 Hours. We have to wait.
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
Oh lucky me i touth i was the only one.. coudent find anyhting on the internet.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Same here Market is not working but has nothing to do with Defrost, just flashed 5.8 and seems great. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Niiceg:
Market works, but you have many times to re-download, because it fails many times :) Downloaded everything I wanted from there :)
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
well i tryed many times.. and i gave up. il try again in the morning.

I think its a bad thing that i cannot find a status site of the market anywhere on the internet.
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
same here

market not working,wonderfull.....
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
No problem at all here (in France) with the market and 5.7. Is it country related?

By the way, is the circle mod already there for the 5.8 version?

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
I have the framework uploaded but not yet tested.. if reboot my phone now to flash i brake the restore process and i dont want to install all apps by had.

If u want... il activate it now and u report back to me if u get any fc's when opening rom manager or the settings in dps manager?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Blufrost/Gefrost have been updated to Defrost 5.8. Get them at http://www.iinga.net/desire/themes
[Desire Android Development] evivbulgroz:
when I go to the anonymous statistics menu in the cyanogen settings I get an error (the application closed unexpectedly).Does somebody else get this error?

also market doesn't work for me as well,I can't download anything.
[Desire Android Development] Kazuya17:
Returns 404, thanks for the quick update tho.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
FIXED

My bad, i blame dreamweaver for the error. It removed the .zip extension when i updated the link. That will teach me to do html coding the easy way.

you know...a bad workman always blames his tools ;-)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Market down here in Italy too since 9:00pm.
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
Sure, fire it on :) Just tell me what DPS is ! ;)
[Desire Android Development] Kreeeee:
DPS is the built in sound manager in the defrost ROM, called DPS manager.
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
ah you mean DSP. Got it.
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Just Updated to 5.8

Only little issue i have come across is in Cyanogen Settings you have a option

to enable Statistics or not.

Its unable to open this as there is an unexpected problem with:

process com.cyanogenmod.cmparts

It works if you install the App Pack.

So maybe it might be worth while to add a Rule is IF App back installed to enable / show that option?

Its no bother and its not going to cause any issues for me. but just to make things 100% error free :D

Nice update tho. just working though it and updating everything again
[Desire Android Development] onyxogen:
Thank you for this great fix. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow.that leaves the question why it's not built into the Rom like that?? Very strange.
[Desire Android Development] bruno1211:
Quick question - for quick answer

When flashing 5.8 over 5.7 I don't need to do full wipe?

All apps will be there? They wont erase?

`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´`´

Sent using XDA app from my Desire
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
My suggestion is to do wipe, whenever changing ROM.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Correct
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
If you do not wipe NO your apps will not be deleted.

All it will do is Upgrade the ROM.

Settings, Apps, Browser History you name it will still be there.

If you have any problems however, I would recommend backing up and doing a full wipe then install,

This normal resolves alot of issues
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I don't agree in thus case. Really only needed if going from a sense to vanilla tom or from eclair to froyo (or vice versa)
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Can anyone tell me how to make the round status bar corners square again?
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Yes I agree with you, but last days DF haz many issues so it is better to wipe :)
[Desire Android Development] heyjoe66:
you have to replace some PNGs in framework-res.apk

yes, just that easy :)
[Desire Android Development] Kreeeee:
Oops, yeah.
[Desire Android Development] heyjoe66:
i have some games which became very bugy and unplayeble after a numerous flashes

i was beginning to think they just to old and not supported any more, but i did a wipe recently and they came back to life

so it's a good practice to wipe from time to time
[Desire Android Development] IronMann:
First i would like to say that your rom really fixed a lot of problems i had with the stock froyo rom from htc. It gave a spectacular internet speed boost, and the soundquality to my bt-headset seems to be doubled a dozens times.

Tho, the phone tend to reboot after ive listened to music with my bt-headset for some minutes. The headset is the MW600 from SE.

Sounds familiar to someone?
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
I experienced the same. Even though I always did a complete wipe, and restored the data with TB after the wipe/update, I think it's better for your rom to do a complete wipe and do a clean install manually using the market. And restore the settings in all the programs manually. This gives a big boost most of the times.
[Desire Android Development] friedgoldmole:
5.8 working well but flash videos still not working.
[Desire Android Development] inkredi:
Anybody knows if the phone.apk from the MIUI rom would work if I placed it instead of this rom's?

[Desire Android Development] emree025:

[Desire Android Development] acolwill:
Richard, I'm getting massive graphics lag with 5.8 SVS 1113 (extremely noticable playing angrybirds)

Have just flashed the 5.5 SVS 1113 kernel and no lag.
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
any comment about battery drain in 5.8? for me 5.7 is draining my batt from 100% to 10% in 13hs all time in idle...

i cant keep 5.7, which is the rom with the best battery performance of the last ones? 5.3 was working quite ok for me.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Flash in browser isn't working in 5.8 either!
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Market seems working again this Morning. :-)
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Cheers, can you give me an idea of the file I need to swap. I've been poking around the framework-res.apk in /res/drawable/ and there are a few .png files that refer to status bar. I tried to push the apk back after copying the OD directory tree of the apk and I get stuck in the boot loop :(

P.S. I'm on a mac, is there anyway to view and save to a zip without unzipping it like in windows?
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Its not as easy as that,

Unless you are already using a 100 images battery framework...........

My suggestion to you, is if you new to it and not too sure what your doing, go to here:

http://circle.glx.nl/

Its pretty easy, cannot go wrong.

Or if you list the setup your after ill edit it and upload a flash-able update for you.
[Desire Android Development] 0semaj0:
works perfectly for me...didnt before for 5.7 but then wiped before flashing to 5.8 and works perfectly...give that a try and see if it works...

@ RichardTrip, in general 5.8 is much better than 5.7 in performance but getting a few FC randomly...in particular when using Messaging...but other than that...awesome ROM...keep up the hard work! appreciate it!
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Hey thanks,

I'm just looking to revert the round corners of the status bar back to square corners.
[Desire Android Development] heyjoe66:
here are the stock files

for editing apk really try that kitchen dave7802 suggested. i've never tied it myself, i'm editing files manually but on windows
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
So those are the 2 files that I need to replace?

I saw them in the OD framework-res.apk. On another note, I found an N! thread in the CM forums with a flash-able zip for the same thing. If I have troubles, I'll look into the UOT Kitchen, although I'd prefer to do it manually too ;)

UPDATE: No luck with the zip from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2687-theme-cm600-n1-no-more-rounded-corners/, as I expected, its for the N1.
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Ahhhh Ok,

Erm No its not as simple and uncompressing and compressing on the Mac....

I dont know of a Zip file Manager that lets you browse your compressed files and modify them like Winrar in windows without uncompressing the file.

I use utility to Decode the framework, edit the XML and PNG files and the use the utility again to Encode again and compress back up ready for flashing.

Am in work atm on a windows machine (Again i have tools for Doing the same in windows if your interested)

I cannot remember the name of the utlity i am using, on my Mac,

If you can give us some time ill get me GF to boot her up ill RDP into it and get you the files for you
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Thanks, sure I can wait. I would also like to know the name of the utility you use on the mac in good time :) Seems like I need to replace the file statusbar_background.9.png.

Remove sound from screen-lock

Hi

Whenever I press the power-button my phones says a sound.I've checked my settings in the "Sound"-setting menu and cyagnogenMod settings with no success.

As far as I can see the sound is not fired when the screen is locked, but maybe when the screen is blanked.

Anyone having the same problem?

I'm using defrost 5.8
[Desire Android Development] justinkb:
since 5.8 i get automount of usb-storage when plugging my phone into the usb... any way to turn this off since it is really annoying and i don't want that at all... i use adb for transferring files...
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
If you like in the mean time, edit the Icons you want to edit post them to me and ill compile it for you.

Test the framework and release your the Flashable file?
[Desire Android Development] jonatansofer:
FC on 5.8

someone have the same thing?
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Cheers, although the only thing I want to do is change the round corners of the status bar back to the square look of the asop roms. I don't want to change any of the the icons.
[Desire Android Development] aussie1234:
Hi

In Settings --> Sound --> untick Screen Lock sounds.

It will make the sound go away.

Anyone here on o2 UK? What radio are you using? My download speeds are abysmal on latest. Streaming last fm is almost impossible.

Used to be fine but not used I'm a while due to no headphones.

My market downloads are awful.too
[Desire Android Development] oliver2425:
Album Art

Yeah, since DeFrost 5.8 Album Art works when embedded as tags in mp3. Great!!

Thanks for that :)
[Desire Android Development] andersbe:
Have tried that. When it is ticked it gives a different sound
[Desire Android Development] heyjoe66:
sorry, didn't noticed that "hackintosh" in your userbar

so here is a whole story:

unpacking or editing zip directly it's changing zip in anyway, so it has to be resigned after that

so you unziping it, changing whatever you need, DELETING the META-INF directory,

then ziping it again using STORE algorithm, don't forget to rename zip to apk

and then you need to sign it

the tool for signing apks i use is a java library, on windows it runs by bat file,

but i believe it has to be platform independent, so could be run from terminal on mac or linux

for windows command line is:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 *.apk your_app_signed.apk

for mac i guess that "java -jar" has to be changed to something and hypothetically it should work

if i cracked your brain, here is my framework-res with square corners and non-transparent notification background

use it only for 5.8
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Hey, thanks!

I tried pulling, changing the extension to .zip, inserting the .png and signing using the auto-sign app for mac users posted in the G1 forums but it did not work. Giving up on the mac I grabbed my win7 lappie and using 7zip did the editing, then back to the mac where I pushed the apk with the desired result; it worked. And I didn't need to resign. Thank you and everyone that made an effort to help and educate me.
[Desire Android Development] Airyphyla:
hey guys,

do any of you know if its possible to get the black and white bar theme back, i loved it and now its gone. :(
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
this is probably winamp or doubletwist. turn off auto mount in their respective app settings
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
I was going to suggest that too, you beat me
[Desire Android Development] andersbe:
Never mind. Has found the "error".
[Desire Android Development] justinkb:
Thanks guys, must be winamp like you said, installed that right before updating to 5.8
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I thought it was just me. Due to being away on business, I'd not updated radio in a while. When I got back to the UK, I noticed "H" mobile data was only running at approx 60k. Then I updated radio, and still had the same issue. Something on o2's network perhaps? Its the same for me all over the South of England (I've not been North of Heathrow lately so can't comment).

The market issue is unrelated I think, everyone seems to be suffering. I'm getting close to zero downstream even when on WiFi.
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah you can turn off automount in the settings.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'm on the latest radio and gave been for some time but since I haven't streamed for ages hadn't really noticed.

Speedtest.net shows usually 59kbps.

Downloading older radio but its taking forever

http://androidforums.com/desire-support-troubleshooting/205782-o2-uk-download-speeds.html
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Speedtest.net gives me 0.42Mb/s down, 0.39Mb/s up.

That's with 32.48 on O2 UK at work in central Derby. I'm about 300 yards (guess) from the mast, which probably helps :)

FM Radio

Hi,

sorry if it has been posted or asked already, but this thread really became too big.

Is someone having trouble to get the FM-Radio working ? I put mit headphones in (not the original ones) , turn on the FM-Radio and nothing happens. I am 100% sure about the frequence, i also selected the right country.

And why does the app always turn on bluetooth ?

I am using Defrost since 3.3, i think. Installed the latest radio.

Anyone got a solution for this ?

thanks so far,

hankey

Richard: You´re doin great !
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
aTrackDog shows Adobe Reader, Adobe Showcase and Google News and Weather as outdated. Anyone knows where to get the new Versions?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I'm guessing that's a typo but looking at the keyboard I can't for the life of me work out what "musing" was meant to be. :(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
My sim ;)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
*chuckle*

As it goes, I can't download the speedtest.net app from the market - I was just using the website - so if you were using the app my comparison may not be valid.

On that subject it looks like the market's very unhappy - I've got four different ongoing unsuccessful downloads at the moment.

Edit: for what it's worth I get between 150 and 200 B/s from DefrostSetup
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Have you tried hitting the Power button? It's the one on the right shaped like a circle with a dot at the top...

One of the things miui did to make the radio work was to realise that HTC turn on bluetooth whenever you run the FM radio - it seems like it's a prerequisite.

amen to that.
[Desire Android Development] hankey86:
FM-RAdio

hi,

thanks for the tip with the power button :rolleyes: , but i realized this button before ;)

Ok , i can accept the thing with bluetooth turning on - it turns off automatically , so no big problem here.

So no other tip then ?

Back home i want to try with the original headphones, but these one worked out before in "sense-Times"... so....

Maybe a full wipe could help ? But i´m affraid of the work of getting all things back to normal...even with titanium backup.

Has anyone else wiped after getting the new FM-Radio ?

thanks so far
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Dont use the 5.8 kernel for now (didnt make it available in defrost setup). Will check later this evening.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I'd say the slowdown is very noticeable in the launcherpro app drawer, using 5.8 HAVS 1113.

Heh. Can't use defrost setup to upgrade full ROMs at work - no wifi here and I only have 512MB allowance - so I have to download from the website and copy to the SD.

Have dropped back to 5.5 kernel; much less laggy.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I thought you probably had but you didn't actually mention pressing it, so I thought I should make sure :)

Interestingly I sometimes find that I have to hit the "speaker" button then push it back to make it work with headphones.

Didn't have to wipe here.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
3 radios and factory reset later, still no joy with hsdpa.

Will try more locations and maybe a different Rom before requesting a new sim
[Desire Android Development] hankey86:
Hi ,

after trying arround a bit, i solved the problem.

If you choose Germany as your country (that is where i am from) you see, that Germany if one of the very few countries with 50kHz steps in their frequency (as the app says).... so no matter what other country with 100kHz steps you choose - it works. Quite strange, but solved the problem.

But thanks for your help anyway !

Keep on the good comunity and brilliant work !

-hankey.

The Google Market is broken, not your phone. The market had such issues a month ago or so already, then it partially worked, but now it's broken totally for everyone again.

So just wait, and hope that Google upgrades their servers.

I never thought that a company like Google, running the most accessed website on the world, a pioneer in cloud storage, can have server issues, but well, they have.

I was running 5.7, and my market stopped working properly. I saw 5.8 was out so I cleared factory data, cache, and cleared dalvik cache,and installed 5.8, and the market downloaded angry birds, and skype, but won't download anything else. It's just stuck at "Starting download..."

Any advice?

Maybe you're referring to the other issue that you can't see Adobe air if you search for it. Not an issue for me but the market is down for many people on many handsets. Download unsuccessful. This is a Google problem.
