Having setcpu profiles and advanced settings on hand, wouldn't it be better installing the fastest kernel and playing with setcpu in order to ramp up more gently ?
[Desire Android Development] desire.:
Thx, but could you specify the guide little bbetter, i have never done it before...
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Of course you could just flash the fastest kernel. But that's too much work for me for just 10% increase when I need it (and that's...well...never...)
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
"Thx, but could you specify the guide little bbetter, i have never done it before..."

Just flash the .zip file after you've flshed the full ROM (doesn't have to be right away) and in exactly the same way. Use ROM Manager or whatever you use to flash ROMs. Nice and easy!
[Desire Android Development] :
Can I flash the full ROM without wiping? It's very troublesome to have to wait for all the apps to be re-downloaded (albeit automatically), plus some doesn't. All the while I've been upgrading without wiping, but is it okay?
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
use titanium backup
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Flashed from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3 without any wipe and everything works perfectly fine.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Can I backup everything and restore everything, without having issues with software version etc?
[Desire Android Development] luckst0r:
First post lololol!

Anyways, this ROM would be perfect if it weren't for the wireless being problematic.

Doesn't matter what I set for sleep policy but every time I wake the phone up I have no net, and it's not just browser related. I have to switch wireless off and on for it to fire up again, or just leave it off and use 3g 100% of the time, which isn't ideal unfortunately.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Running 2.2 - full wipe before and after install (will try 2.3 but this problem has been there since 1.8 for me, 1.6 was fine oddly enough)

Radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
[Desire Android Development] Jedipottsy:
how can i tell if A2SD is working? i have an ext3 partition, do i have to enable it?
[Desire Android Development] ice_prophecy:
Yes. Even paid apps with the donated version of titanium. It does data too. Only issue it hd has is restoring on screen widgets, but it restores all your shortcuts
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Is the MarketDoctor working in the paid version?

Marketlinks are never working for me. Apps are there, but not in the Downloads list of the market...
[Desire Android Development] cheekystew:
Help!

Hi I'm currently running v2.1 & my home button is not working. Is this a known fault? Slightly worried about it. I'm insured so I guess I could just lose my phone to get it replaced hahaha
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Black Bar installation...

For anyone trying to install the Black Status bar for v2.3 that got linked to earlier, it doesn't like being flashed from ROM Manager for some reason. It will just boot to the HTC screen and go no further (you have to remove the battery).

However it works perfectly if you boot to recovery and then flash the zip. Hope that's helpful to someone... :)
[Desire Android Development] paprkut:
Sound settings keep force closing. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
talking about performance and different kernels i have following opinion:

it's a telephone not a gamepad or something, so battery life is far more valuable than some 5-10% of overclocked performance WHICH causes more battery drain due to overclock.

Af far as i understand it's all about better algorithms for switching CPU modes on demand. of cause it's always good to have OC version, but i cant figure out the real life usage...

stock 998 freq is more that enough for me having still lighting fast responsive device with all (about 60 apps) of my stuff working great without any delays including heavy web sites surfing and related apps.

IMHO the best kernel avail. is the one which save the battery more and as far as i tested it's HAVS 998Mhz 925mV (haven't tried 800mV yet)

so, to compile all above: it's not correct to measure raw performance of diff. OC kernels, it have to be measured in conjunction with battery drain.

like this is performance kernel with moderate battery drain

and this is less performance but with far less battery drain

something like this i presume...

sorry for offtopic, just thinking aloud!

I still have FC for Quickoffice :( Anyone else?
[Desire Android Development] Sultan1993:
Hi guys :) can you help me?

i flashed the ROM, and kernel, but how should i know if it is installed? cause for example, on other ROMs, it always said "Kernel version: .... OVUC...." but after i installed HAVS from here it says "2.6.32.9.bravo-froyo-r17trip@trip-laptop #24"

so is it installed?
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Hey Guys....Need one small help....

I need Original Phone Application back with This Great ROM....How do i Get it????

I have seen few dialer applications in market but need original HTC Dialer.....

Please Help me......
[Desire Android Development] poope:
My exact thought, batt life is the most important thing for a mobile device. What can u do with blazingspeed if your down to 5% and u have an important phonecall to make? I used 2.3 for a day now and im satisfied with both speed and batt life.
[Desire Android Development] mthie:
This is not an HTC Sense ROM. If you need original Software, you should change to a Sense based ROM like DJDroid etc.

A good dialer like the HTC Sense Dialer is Dialer One.
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
The FC on 2.3 is not there if you do a wipe first.

Altho I did notice the QuickOffice icon is missing in 2.3 on the app panel. It is installed, as I can open files with QuickOffice.
[Desire Android Development] Ewox:
It seems that MMS is still broken :(

Reconigured the APN-settings for MMS without any luck.
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
That's entirely up to one's opinion I think. Situational also. For me as example the phone charges when I am at home, driving my car or at work. No real issues with battery duration that way :). The 1267Mhz runs just a bit smoother and I hate it when something stutters. The good thing about this ROM is, Richard let's us have our own choice :). Besides, you can always flash the highest SVS ROM and underclock it with setCPU untill you need the speed to impress your colleagues with an IPhone ;)

You have a point though. If we want to do a full benchmark of a ROMs performance. It shouldn't just be focused on the raw speed you get out of it.

If someone can come up with a good test script I'm willing to do a more complete review.
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Testing 800mV (998Mhz) kernel since yesterday night, I have still no problem using it, absolutely no bug, and battery drain seems a slightly better than 925mV stock kernel with hardcore usage of my Desire :)
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
concerning some graphics bugs, I confirm that it is due to corrupted png files in the framework-res.apk.

BUG: bluetooth file transfer is not working for me. Though it was working on some older ROMs... Now it's failed when trying to transfer files from PC (windows 7 ) to Desire by bluetooth. (re-pairing devices didnt solve the issue)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Just tested from linux->desire and desire -> linux and both working.
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
i'm having problems installing yelp! keeps saying insufficient storage. is anyone else having this problem? i wiped twice so far and flashed twice as well. if it's just me could someone maybe email me the apk so i can try a off-market install? pm me if you can help me out! thanks!

edit: and i have over 500mb free in my sd-ext and 120mb free internal, 550mb free in sd-fat32 so i'm pretty sure i have enough space
[Desire Android Development] desire.:
Hi, i installed the rom last night, and today i installed switchpro, now my mobile network doesnt work, i have uninstalled the app and restarted the phone several times, but it wont work, help please i really need my internet connection :(
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
it gives me the following error: this bluetooth debice cannot process files of this type.

I've tried almost all file types binary and text ones. again it was working not long ago - nothing has changed in the PC's bluetooth config. :confused: will try it at home PC with winxp.

[Desire Android Development] bimbo1974:
I have problem with sending and receiving MMS as Ewox reported in #6716. Can someone confirm problem with MMS?
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
mms seems to be working alright for me. Exchange gives me a f/c on com.google.android.email now whenever I reply to an e-mail. Composing one does not open a window.

Can it be that the MMS and Exchange E-mail editor are somewhat linked?
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Fixed Exchange. Removed my account and added it again. Strange because I did a full wipe at the ROM flash. Something must have gone wrong the first time when adding it.

Maybe you could try removing and setting the MMS provider settings?
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Got same probleme here. :(
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Please can we get a black bar for the new versions.
[Desire Android Development] daveba:
Funny ! The previous post has the link to it in his signature..
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Okay, I suppose this was already asked but I can't find it.

With the new HAVS kernel, do we need SetCPU anymore ?

The kernel do it itself if I understand correctly ?

Btw, I have installed the 2.3 HAVS 925mv and lost just 4% durring the night, that's good :-)
[Desire Android Development] xivius:

Apps2SD

Can someone please tell me how to get apps2sd to work in this version, its my understanding that this room supports apps2sd+ ? i manage to get the froyo stuff to work, but that does not support widgets and i find it weak. I used rom manager to partion my SD card but when i open settings -> sdcard i does not show the new partion, is there a guide or someone who can help me out ???
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Not sure if this has been mentioned -

Seems to still be an issue with battery drain if you're using automatic brightness - can't even sustain charge while plugged into my USB if I'm using it the phone, if on standby it charges very slowly.

setting to manual brightness seems to rectify this.

Using the default 2.3 925mv ROM with the 2.3 Black Bar mod

Full partition/wipe/dalvik wipe.
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
Richard it's not working!

I've tried both Win7 64bit and home WinXP 32bit with different BT usb tokens... the same error! phone won't receive\send files.

Also some guy confirmed the problem in bug tracker!
[Desire Android Development] davorb:
I'm having battery drain issues with the new version after upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3 with HAVS 800mV kernel with numbered battery mod adapted for 2.3. I have auto-brightness turned off and other than that haven't changed anything between the configurations.

With the new kernel, I'm going from 100% to 90% in one hour, in standby, without touching the phone at all. Before I patched it, it used to go from 100% to 99% during this time.

I'll try installing a normal OC kernel and see if this fixes the issue.
[Desire Android Development] gergohad:
I had the same drainage issue with the normal kernel.
[Desire Android Development] desire.:
Same here, but i have 80% in just standby...
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
same here, 2 X full wipe and still huge drain with 2.3 svs 1267

trying back to kernel 2.2a 1267

Edit: yep, fixed with flashing 2.2a kernel over 2. 3
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Yer i have gone back to 2.1

6 hours i have lost 11% battery

Am happy with 2.1 a few little issues, but seems the more stable for me :-)
[Desire Android Development] Nebukatnedzar:
is 720p in this rom?

if not, did it come in one of the next versions?
[Desire Android Development] toastyghost:
Seconding this, same setup but without the blackbar mod applied.

I thought I'd do a little test today, so turned on automatic brightness when I got to work and left the phone on standby bar one short call and a few texts. Dropped 31% battery in 5 hours.

I notice that when I turn off automatic brightness, the brightness slider is right up at full immediately. I also haven't really noticed it changing from dull to bright when I go from inside to outside. It's almost like automatic just means 100% at the minute. I also notice that since I made this change, the *#*#info#*#* battery usage indicates it has been 'running' for 98% of the time, with 'time spent without sleeping' at 2h 7m.

However, battery usage in Settings suggests only 6% for screen, and that it has only been on for 5m 29s. I do note that suspend is listed as the biggest consumer of CPU time but it is still only minimal. Perhaps suspend is started as part of the auto-brightness turning the screen off? I'm only speculating here, I don't really know if these two things can be directly related.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely no other issues otherwise.
[Desire Android Development] mthie:
I can't reproduce this bug. Sent and received images from the Desire to a Nokia E71 and back. So I think, bluetooth is working. Did it work with 2.1/2.2?

Tested with DeFrost 2.3.
[Desire Android Development] graey:
Really loving this rom, what would make it more awesome for me and a lot of users is if you would compile it with full Dutch locale. MoreLocale 2 isn't really a solution, it only works if apps were compiled with Dutch locale included, which isn't the case.

Great job on all other fronts though! Thanks :D
[Desire Android Development] emms007:
Using 2.3 the suspend process is still always running, consuming about 30% of the CPU. It was fixed in 2.1 when we had the best battery ever.

I guess it's coming from the kernel.
[Desire Android Development] danbst:
I have an ungodly good battery drain on this rom. I use switchpro Widget and Brightness is on Auto. In 11 hours off charge I only lost 17%. Thats with animated wall paper Wifi or Data always on. Using the Havs 800v Max 998 Kernel.

I'm sooooo, tempted NOT to flash 2.4 when and if it comes.
[Desire Android Development] scuddnet:
Just been running 2.3 of DeFrost for about 3 hours now. Been trying out a few other ROMS but this one has given me no problems. setCPU works perfectly as does Juicedefender which saves a heap of battery. I was at full charge on install and i am not at 96% after 3 hours and about 20 mins of real usage. I also noticed it drain faster with Auto brightness on so this might be something to turn off. Am very pleased with this rom and look forward to the updates.
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Tbh, that didn't even work for me with the original ROM in place before I rooted and flashed...

The bluetooth stack seems ok though. Just received my bluetooth headset the other day and I've been using it for business, constantly calling over the day. No issues at all so far. I think this is more of a hardware/windows/driver issue on the pc side.

Pro tip, try Dropbox :)
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Is there anyway to get OTA updates of this brill rom?

GREAT WORK RICHARD!!!!

My Desire runs since 48hours...21% Battery left! wohooo...thats great!

I'm using HAVS Kernel without any problems!!

1390 Points @ Quadrant Standard Benchmark...so many points I've never had before!!!! My Device appears before the Nexus One in the result list...awesome!!!

wifi issue is gone and it stays connected ;)

Everything seems to work. Using havs rom....
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Maybe it's just me but I think the HAVS Kernel really isn't that good regarding battery life. Batterlife was REALLY good for me with 2.1 and 2.2, but with 2.3 and 800mV (998Mhz) HAVS it seems a lot worse. Thinking of going back to 2.2... :/
[Desire Android Development] Nebukatnedzar:
can anyone answer?
[Desire Android Development] alturismo:
As Topic says Cam 800 x 480
[Desire Android Development] alturismo:
Also have to say superb ROM, gerät speed and gerät battery life, 20% in 10 hours usage.

2. 3 standard ROM
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
After a little testing, this is what my desire gives me:

Flashed with the SVS 1113 kernel - manual brighness set to lowest setting - lost 5% in 20 mins.

Flashed the 800mv kernel - manual brighness set to lowest setting - lost 5% in 35 mins

Flashed the 925mv kernel - manual brighness set to lowest setting - lost 5% in 20 minutes again

This is completely standard except LauncherPro (no other apps). Background sync and the default settings on.

I'll do an overnight test from 100% with the current (925mv) kernel to see proper standby.
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
No no it was working just fine on both win7 and winxp i've used it to transfer files to Desire until i bought data cable at work.

but now it's not, i dunno what to do. i flashed 2.3 with full wipe including sd-ext and dalvik...
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
My WiFi disconnects on standby on 2. 3..... suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
I really dont understand that people have some battery drain issues...

Yesterday I've flashed 2.3 with the 800mv kernel and the blackbar ,before i go to my bed. (first time I flashed DeFrost) My Battery was on 3 AM 100% full, when i waked up on 10 AM it was still on 100%!

I used JuiceDefender with data roaming and sync on.

SO i think you guys use some battery eating apps... Or mine Desire is just awesome ;)

Richard keep up the good work!!

@Richard

Kan je alsjeblieft de Nederlandse taal in de Rom integreren? Dan krijg je van mij een ijskoud biertje :)

Translation:

Plz can you add the Dutch language? Then you get a cold beer from me :)
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Maybe its because of your "excessive" use of the phone.
[Desire Android Development] Nebukatnedzar:
and the second question?
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
Only issue I have on 2.3 is the track pad dies quite frequently now, didn't previously.

Battery life and speed very good on 1113 kernel
[Desire Android Development] BlackCube:
I had the optical pad issue on my 2.0f/2.1.

Going to update to 2.3 soon with the new radio and hopefully it will fix.
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
I had problems with the position sensor on 2.3, I had to desactivate the auto rotate.

Still no answer, does SetCPU became useless with the new HAVS kernels ?
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
Everything ok, I had the trackpad die at times, but not very often, mostly in text boxes though.

Regarding the previous issue I mentioned, adding contact photos with stock gallery, it's actually not an issue of this rom.

I found out that this is an issue with every non-HTC rom as the stock gallery badly resizes the picture. Both in froyo and eclair. To replicate:

-add picture to contact

-using the gallery select a big picture (5MPixels)

-crop to the biggest size possible

-call the contact -> the photo shows as badly resized, i.e. jagged/pixelated

Disable Google contact-Sync to prevent the blurry-sync issue to interfere.

Only semi-workaround so far is to use Astro when selecting the picture.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
I'd say your desire was awesome if it wasn't for the fact that I was using the OD sense/froyo. all weekend and had no such battery life issues, with virtually my entire software backups restored. As said, I'm currently completely default defrost except for blackbar mod and launcher pro.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I like beer so that have to be a yes :-)
[Desire Android Development] Dynanik:
Jes...just switched to 2.3 today ;)

After 4 hours I got only 10% decrease...wohooooooo =)
[Desire Android Development] froghn:
no drain so far still 100%, but I never had a drain in the DeFrost 0.4 neighter.
[Desire Android Development] martinlong78:
Yes. It's been fine since 0.3 if you setup SetCPU.
[Desire Android Development] samac92:
just updated, glad to see autofocus working!

no tap to focus? was that something htc added with sense?

also flash lights up on the camera when taking a picture but not at the correct time; it goes off before the picture is taken

and text reflow only works when double tapping, not when using pinch to zoom
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Known bug

Yeah, I've seen that too, I was thinking that the text reflow was just don't work at all ..

NOTE: Using DeFroST 0.5 when writing this.

The following things still give problems:

- Camera does not work in video mode and crashes photo mode when used.

- Led stays ON after charging for a while.

- My bluetooth headset (Jabra BT-230) can not be found when scanning for devices. However my iMac at work is found.

Battery life is normal, 3G and WIFI are working as usual and I have no problems with echos when calling.

Thanks alcor,

I did that, but max i can set is 528.

Should I also tick the on boot checkbox?

Edit: Found how to set over 900 Hz, you have to tell that you have a N1/snapdragon device in the main setcpu program first. Start with main program, then play with widget.
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Yep.

I ticked it.
