Found a bug earlier, where after unplugging headphones the phone still thinks they are connected and won't reactivate the built in ear-piece speaker.
[Desire Android Development] powlemann:
loving the rom, except for the VERY colorful statusbar =)

can be get a status bar with circle battery and maybe wifi in color but everything else plain and simple?

and one more bug: after applying the black status bar update, i got black font color on black background, so almost not readible. how do i change the font color?

thx!
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
is there any way I can remove the black status bar etc?

2.0a & 2.0b

•Video recording can't work.:mad:
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
did you flash the new radio?
[Desire Android Development] Giland:
Reflash the rom and you should be back to white status bar.
[Desire Android Development] azrudin99:
hi all,

i want to ask anybody...:) now my phone is running 2.0 defrost and i want to upgrade to 2.0b.

1) do i need to wipe?

2) how can i keep colorful setting

3) can i change the boot animation before i flash 2.0b? (i mean delete it on zip file and change with my choice

thanks
[Desire Android Development] :
Is this normal? 75% of battery use is by Display. Before rooting and flashing Froyo my biggest battery use is cell standby and phone idle, although overall battery life seems to remain the same. I think it's just a bug and not that the screen really sucks that much juice - anybody can confirm?
[Desire Android Development] fataki:
Battery life seemed bad, so I tested it this morning after full charging during the night.

After unplugging the device from charger, I used it for under a minute and put it to sleep. 25 minutes later, the battery had dropped to 96% without any use.

I have updated the radio and installed the UV kernel.

Edit: Also display shows high battery usage.
[Desire Android Development] sk8erkedo:
I got the high % on display too...

tried wipe all setting and reflash 2.0 again... it still show at least 75%~95%

it seems that only a few ppl encounter this
[Desire Android Development] zheads:
Battery life much worse than in previous versions, 1.8 for example.
[Desire Android Development] :
For me display is unusually high (possible bug?) and the bar is fully filled although display is only at 60% (bug). Hope richardtrip can look into this :)

IMO it's the only thing seperating this release from a perfect one :D
[Desire Android Development] alturismo:
Hi,

1st thanks alot for this nice ROM, works great here so far.

one little thing i would like to know

exchange mail seems only to be able to sync mails age max to 1 month,

may someone knows a way to sync all mails again like sense has included ?

thanks ahead
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
There is also a led bug. While charging its already green when it reached 90%. But actually its still charging.
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Someone posed a theory that the screen is probably the biggest power consumer when the Desire is not in sleep mode, so the battery usage graphs are not that insane when you think about it. However, loads of forum members have mentioned very poor battery life on DeFrost 2.0, so this would indicate a problem. Thankfully, I may have stumbled on a WORKAROUND...

If you go into phone settings and choose Display, then choose Brightness,

untick

Automatic brighness, then set the slider to mimimum (to the left).

Personally, I still think at mimimum the display is as bright as it was on ROM 1.8.

I suspect the Auto-Brighness function is what is draining the battery, but that's just a hunch.

Since I did this, the battery use graphs (in Settings->About Phone) have gone down from 66% Display usage to 6% overnight (phone in standby).

After 10h 23m from disconnecting the charger, I still have about 40% battery life, and that's problably lower than it would be for most of you, as I have configured Wi-Fi to be Always-On, and Wi-Fi now shows as 35% of the battery usage. Cell Standby is now showing as 27% and Phone Idle at 25%.

P.S. I would have posted a screen grab but Drop2Cap only grabs part of the screen. What screen grab app do you guys use?
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
Never locked on mine.. I'm using an orange uk handset.. Allthough I did unlock it a week before flashing..
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
I may be reposting this,

If you open Settings, about phone, Battery use,

Look at the display, on my desire, even though set on AUTO its reporting as using 65% of the display, when idle!
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
@ Richardtrip

Thanks for this great rom :) Its fantastic.. Allthough, I would love to see 720p video recording. Maybe this can be applied as an extra download?
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Well, since I switched off Auto-Brightness and set the display to mimimum, my battery usages stats have gone down from 66% Display usage to 6% in standby. Fingers crossed this workaround works for others. ;)

Now all I need is MMS fixed and 20b is a perfect ROM. Richard????
[Desire Android Development] :
On my 1.19.707.7 (Eclair stock) ROM, I have automatic brightness checked and display was always the 4th or 5th highest battery consumer. So I think it's still an issue with the ROM. BTW the bug with the graph I was talking about was this: (Compare the percentage given with the bar)

I use PicMe.
[Desire Android Development] dinyar:
look, if you ae using your phone obviously he screen is the highest power consumer (according to your notification area you're at ~98% anyway, so of those 2% the display used about 60%, so in total about 1% which doesn't seem too bad for 4h). someone claimed sense changes this behaviour, but stock android does show the display on first place most of the time.

and concerning the bars: i think this is no bug, it's just a choice. they chose to set the highest consumer as "100% of the total width of the screen" regardless if that's 20%, 50%, or 100%. so also the 17% right below aren't 17% of the total width, but probably around 30%.
[Desire Android Development] orthopaedeflex:
when is the new camera update for hd-videos available ?
[Desire Android Development] ozy944:
Is headphone line out not working a common bug or am I an isolated case?

Oz
[Desire Android Development] :
Oh I forgot there is one big difference between my previous ROM and this one - HTC Sense. :D

And no offense but I'm not entirely convinced about the bug explaination regarding the width of the battery consumption graph :) But it's okay, these are minor issues, this ROM is much better than my Asia 1.19 one (no user dictionary!) :D
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
There is a battery problem with the screen. It shows a much higher % on this ROM, people please do not deny this fact, or think that I (or others) am complaining.

It is good to establish these things so they can be fixed, that is the whole point of this thread.

That's why it didn't lock then... Those with orange branded handsets, you need to apply an unlock code whilst NOT being on a custom ROM. If you do that then you can flash the new radio without any problems.
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
Same Problem here. Display needs that much battery

Also wlan n doesn't work. Just get about 50 MBit and sitting next to the Router!
[Desire Android Development] georgito:
just connect manually to mobile network and write MMS and send after...
[Desire Android Development] georgito:
2.0b-working perfect on my phone..just no indication on status line
[Desire Android Development] haccg:
then wifi n works fine!

at 54 Mbit/s = Wifi g you usually get about 20-30 mbit! 50 Mbit/s is fast enough for wifi n

it won't get much fast anyway due to the rest of the system that is throttling the wlan speed
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
So WiFi n is automatically enabled?

I'm getting 22Mbit, but that's the same I got with WiFi g :/ I also suspect that the system is just limited. But no big deal, 20Mbit is more than enough for me.

I got no problems with battery though. Losing overnight 3% in Flightmode and on normal Standby (WiFi enabled, 2G) about 3% in 2 hours or so, which is great.
[Desire Android Development] :
Hey richardtrip can you help me out? I'm on 2.0b, no vibrations upon new text. I did a factory reset before flashing this ROM. Any ideas?

Edit: Got it thanks. Go to Messaging > Home > Settings and configure it seperately :)
[Desire Android Development] daveba:
Where's the circle battery with percentage mod disappeared to ? I'm sure DeFrost had it on the first post but seems to have disappeared. Anyone has it working and can post a copy please ?
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
Will the new superuser work fine on defrost 2.0b? Or is it already installed?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Can confirm that this rom has bad settings for T-Mobile MMS UK. I could never get an MMS to send. I installed DJ Droid and that sent MMS just fine.

So i used a free app from market to backup APN. Then i nandroid'ed back to Defrost 2.0b and restored the APN settings from DJ Droid. Restarted and can now send and receive MMS. VERY HAPPY NOW :D
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Georgito, I thought the handset was permanently connected to the mobile network? How do you manually connect before sending MMS?
[Desire Android Development] brummiesteven:
There isn't any bug tracker or anything so I'm guessing it's ok to report bugs in the thread.

There seems to be a problem with the display. I charge my phone overnight and with 2.0b it doesn't get to 100% overnight, it only ever gets to about 75%. Charging is painfully slow when the device is on (although at normal speed when you turn it off).

There seems to be a problem with the Display when looking at the battery info. The display never used to use 60% of battery usage, if I remember rightly it used to be quite minimal (it was "android system" that used to take the most battery). It's as if the display isn't turning off when you turn the screen off.

See attached screenshot.
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
No that could Not be wlan n, cause my hd player which is connected via n USB stick shows at my router 220 MBit. This is the brutto connection.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Talking about netto speedtest performance.
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
do you have any program to test the netto speedperformance?
[Desire Android Development] dinyar:
I have checked my battery usage now. This is with almost no phone usage, except for about 30 minutes just now. In the last 5 minutes of usage battery usage by the screen went up from 17 to 20 percent. I have already stated that i think that a lot of battery drain comes from the phone being woken up in one's pocket and seeing as I had it lying on my desk all the time and had much improved battery usage I think this is confirmed.

Btw, during typing this battery usage by the screen went up to 26 percent.
[Desire Android Development] georgito:
i mean,connect to internet using mobile network,no wifi and send MMS after that..
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
Has anyone tried the 2.0c kernel update yet?
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
Has anyone tried Fast Web Installer on Defrost? (check it out if you haven't heard of it - it's really cool) I can't get it to work - the application claims it registered the phone, and AppBrain.com claims it sent stuff but the phone never starts installing.

Chrome to Phone, which relies on the same cloud push framework, works fine. Just wondering if it's my phone, Defrost, or Froyo ROMs in general that don't work with Web Installer.

EDIT: By the way, I still get the issue of the phone dropping WiFi despite being told to never sleep it. I need to toggle the wifi radio to get it to reconnect to the network. It's fine on my home WPA2 network, but keeps doing this on the WPA2 enterprise 802.1x network at work.

Have had this issue since the earliest froyo builds, but I thought people reported it as fixed.
[Desire Android Development] hatton920:
Yeah it kills wifi. Cant see any other differences
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
Sorry.where isthe kernel. 2 . 0c?
[Desire Android Development] lazarus99:
is there a black status bar with standard icons?
[Desire Android Development] judison:
My Battery usage seems "normal"

No Auto-bright

I use minimal bright most time (indoors)

8% in 5hs
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Georgito, still can't send MMS but many thanks for the suggestions.

Richard, are you aware of MMS issues on. 2.0 ROM as it works no peons for me on 1.8? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] georgito:
Y

You're welcome, I've found something like this ROM mixed up an APN settings.. maybe check that and fix it..
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Georgino, wish I had an APN backup from when I was on 1.8 , as I read a post on another forum where restoring from earlier backup fixed the problem - I have also tried correcting settings manually many times but it still just doesn't send MMS from 2.0 for me
[Desire Android Development] c1re:
I had flashed 2.0b and updated the radio

but I still cant find the Radio app in the rom..

Does this rom support the FM Radio? I saw some other 2.2 desire rom provide the FM Radio app too..
[Desire Android Development] davorb:
Is there any way to make it so that pressing the home key doesn't turn on the display? The display keeps getting turned on in my pocket and it's annoying.
[Desire Android Development] georgito:
Actually every buttons turn screen on... yes, will be great to have chance to turn it off..
[Desire Android Development] davorb:
I used my phone last night. Plugged it out at 11 am and then plugged it back in at 6 am the next day when i came home after some heavy drinking and texting. My battery was at 76% and I had listened to some music through the speakers for one hour as well, during this time.

The battery life is fine on the mod, but when I first installed it I had the same issues you were having. It turned out to be a combination of apps and widgets that caused battery problems. After I uninstalled those, the phone has EXCELLENT battery life.
[Desire Android Development] Degurney:
That would be good.
[Desire Android Development] powlemann:
Yeah, white on black statusbar with standard icons and circle battery would be highly appreciated. maybe wifi in color too, but definitely not vibrate.

#thanks
[Desire Android Development] hatton920:
Anyone else using 2.0c? Cant find anything different.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Update

Update:

Version 2.0c:

* APN settings from DJdroid (fix MMS)

* Complete recompile of kernel (fresh config left out garbage).
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Please try the new version (APN settings from djdroid)
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
Can I update only the kernel ovuc 1267 2.0c? Or I must update the full Rom and after the kernel?

And please update kernel in rommanager, there is only stock.

tks
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Full rom + kernel update needed if u want uvoc 1267. ROM Manager is updated (and showing all kernels).
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
Ok, but I have the Defrost 2. 0b uvoc now, a must update already full Rom?
[Desire Android Development] DimonDroid:
Can I update to 2.0c from 2.0b without wipe?
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
Ok, but I have the Defrost 2. 0b uvoc now, a must update already full Rom?

In Rom manager there is only Defrost 2.0c
[Desire Android Development] Giland:
Yeah it shouldn't be any problem , i just did it myself :)
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Thanks, flashing right now.

BTW: Hup Holland Hup!
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Thanks Richard! (Will try later - currently away from home with no data cable / flat battery)
[Desire Android Development] kuhine:
Firewall activation possible?

Dear Richard,

I ask you to do some adjustments in the kernel:

something for the security of our private data of the phone.

I opened already a thread in the main forum.

But because I use your rom, I ask again in this thread.

Start Quotation:

do you have a firewall on your destop computer?

I think, the answer is "yes, of course!"

Why don't you wan't a firewall for your phone?

Your answere: "It is linux, we don't need it!"

Sure?

In contrast to the "safe a.p.p.l.e market" we are free to get our application from everywhere...

But every person with minimum programming skills is able to use tools like "apktool", "smali/baksmali" to modify existing applications.

Why not integrate some spy functions (send private photos, use camera and microphone, send phonebook and email-adresses).

Solution:

There is always a FREE program to disallow or allow applications the use of wifi or mobile data connections:

DROIDWALL ( h ttp://code.google.com/p/droidwall/ )

But this superb program need some special compiling parameters in the kernel compilation process.

(Something like 'iptables', 'multiport', 'iprange' and 'ipowner')

I found only one working kernel+rom, which is DroidWall compatible: "Six O´Clock A.M." from user 'oclock',

( h ttp://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/312051/oclock-custom-rom/ )

This is a fine and stable release, but it is a v2.1 rom (not froyo).

End of Quotation

Now I ask you, to get the right parameters for kernel compilation, so we can use the DroidWall firewall. Maybe you can ask oclock for information (direct from developer to developer).

So everybody can decide by himself, which application is allowed to send data to wifi or mobile data connection.

Greetings
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
We lost the battery percentage on the battery icon ? why ? :confused: :(

Too bad, it was a very good idea
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
btw, there is something wrong since I installed the 2.0c : I have now a very very poor phone signal (0/5 or 1/5 max, instead of 4/5 or 5/5 before), anyone encounter same problem ?

Version of your RADIO ? do you try the latest update ? => http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04.zip
[Desire Android Development] Giland:
Nope you don't have to wipe , but make a backup just to be sure :)
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Thanks for your answer,

I already updated to latest radio update since 2.0, but it's strange because sometimes radio is 3/5, sometimes 5/5, and the more often : 0/5, but when I try to call someone, even with 0/5 it works perfectly, so I think it's the reception icon that display false values so i'ts ok ;)
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
radio rom

Is the radio rim updated as well by 2.0c or has this to be installed seperatly
[Desire Android Development] davorb:
Well, it's really annoying. I really hope richard let's us disable this "feature". Being able to unlock with the trackpad is nice, though.
[Desire Android Development] blackdem0n:
hi,

i have already installed defrost 2.0b(with uv kernel)

must i wipe the phone in order to install 2.0c?

thnx
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
no! update only.

Flash this attachment if you have, now, the original status bar of the rom defrost.

If you have flash other status bar don't flash because you can cause a loop
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Every 2 post about the same question...
[Desire Android Development] scharri90:
No you only have to flash the kernel update.
[Desire Android Development] lazarus99:
i replaced the colored icons from the black status bar with the default one's (those from Sense), if anyone is interested here's an update zip, first one has standard icon for battery, and the second one has the circle battery icons.

Tested on 2.0b
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
WiFi still bugged. For example when I download stuff from ROM manager, and the screen locks, the download stops... don't know if its really the WiFi itself, or if this is normal though..
[Desire Android Development] cgrec92:
just flashed 2.0c and have a problem with wifi for the first time

i am unable to enable it

if i try to enable it from wireless and networks settings it just says error after half a second

mobile internet works fine

fantastic rom though have been using it since 0.9 :)
[Desire Android Development] sk8erkedo:
upgrade to 2.0c from 2.0 without wipe.

my display high % seems solved.

or maybe I delete some app just now that might possibly drain battery

great rom richard!

your hard work are much appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] pexon:
I have "Error" as status for my WiFi. Not working.

Reverted to b via nand now working fine.

Did try it one more time with same results.

And yes, thank you richard for this rom :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit: Disregard this post. WiFi works as everything else. i flashed UNOC kernel update 2.0c on top of 2.0b ROM.
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
Google Goggles isn't working. Sticking to DeFroST 2.0b as it seems 2.0c has some wifi issues.

[Desire Android Development] judison:
Battery Percentage MOD

Updated to 2.0c

I don't know if the old version works...

and I don't want to test :P so I made it again for 2.0c

I can "cook" if for other ROMs

Please look this Thread
[Desire Android Development] georgemv:
OK, debugged the Goggles thing.

Goggles tries to list the IPv6 addresses of the system. IPv6 module is not enabled by default in this ROM, so java returns a "no such address family" exception.

Goggles ignores this exception and tries to access the list it thinks it got and gets a null pointer exception.

The workaround is to do "insmod /system/lib/modules/ipv6.ko" as root from a shell. Goggles works fine after that. You need to do that after every reboot.

Richard, would it be possible to auto-load the ipv6 module during boot in the next revision of the ROM and make Goggles work out of the box?

I'm not familiar with Android, so I don't know the best place to insmod ipv6 during boot...
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Confirmed! Thanks georgemv!
[Desire Android Development] georgemv:
OK, did some wifi troubleshooting too.

People who report issues with wifi, could you please do in a phone root shell

echo wlan_rx_wake >/sys/power/wake_lock

and see if you continue to have this issue?

** This will not survive a reboot, be sure to do your testing without rebooting **

Seems that for some strange reason the power manager is not holding the wifi receive power lock when you select 'always on' wifi policy...
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
Hey, nice mod. Any chance u can add battery percentage to the addon in post #5522?
