Had the same problem.. Most of my contacts were synced with facebook but not all of them..

Way to manually link your contacts with facebook: Conctacts -> select your contact -> Edit Contact -> Press menu button -> link contact

Worked for me!

Despite that little issue 2.4d is running great!
[Desire Android Development] tk1978:
hey,

when i activate the airplane mode, my excahnge sync and the pop3 mail account is draining battery. i was 1 hour in the airplane mode and the email app uses about 36% battery. even if i disable autosync, email (for pop3 account i am sure) seems to try to sync mail. is this a normal behavior? is there a chance to disable global mail syncing instead of diesable it in every mail account seperatly?

thx for help,

regards,

thomas
[Desire Android Development] 420p:
congratulations to richard. 2.4d is awesome... no unsolveable problems so far.
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
Enjoy !

But don't drink too much ! ;o)
[Desire Android Development] popyett:
Should I full wipe before flashing 2.4d over 1.8 ?
[Desire Android Development] Rayzero:
Yep. Only from 2.4 a-c do you not have to wipe. Use titanium backup.
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
do a nandroid backup and try to update.

if some things doesn't work, then restore nandroid and you will be back to 1.8

for upgrade you can backup apps and data with titanium backup then wipe everything, install fresh 2.4 and restore

What? Wifi fixed?

Does black bar work in the newest release?

Experience bad battery times with current 2.3

time for a update =)
[Desire Android Development] Dunbad:
I've got. Black bar working fine on mine. (the best one of the two that are kicking about, with the colours on). It only advised. Up to 2. 4c I believe, but I've had no issues.

And great Rom this, No way am I updating again. This is perfect.

Anyone else experiencing a bug which shows the ac charger being usb/slow charge on 2.4d?

[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
Is there a black status bar that works with 2.4d? Newest one I've found was for 2.2 :(
[Desire Android Development] gangman:
One more question. It's not necessarily about DeFroST ROM in particular but I have noticed that it's now impossible to make browser window full-screen as it was in 2.1 Sense. The status-bar is still there no matter what. Is there any way to get rid of it while browsing?
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
That was a Sense only feature I believe.
[Desire Android Development] M109rjohno:
If you get the donate version from Titanium Backup you don't have to confirm every app restore (its automatic). I think it's really worth it.

Dowgraded to last one, 08.0.04 and it's ok now?

[Desire Android Development] UnitedWeFall:
Probably a stupid question - but is there any software/apps that will restore all apps/settings/homescreen layout after I flash new versions of Defrost?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Happens when you install a mod before actually booting the new ROM once.

Like install ROM, kernel and blackbar mod ... result is repeatedly rebooting.
[Desire Android Development] sfjuocekr:
Yes it is all backed up, just be sure to reboot after restoring.
[Desire Android Development] Heaven2.9:
Yes. Titanium Backup. Make sure you donate, since it will become automatic.

Or, dont wipe before installing a new rom. Works great here. .

[Desire Android Development] Dunbad:
Its really annoying. I never had wifi issue. On any of Richards roms, but then I download thewifi fixer and boom, I get connection issues.it was bloody perfect too.
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Well it backups widget placement, but will never boot them for me after a recovery. Not even if rebooted. "Problem loading widget" or something is visible in all widget's frames (who have the right size even).

I have to manually delete them and add them again. Never was any different with any version of the rom or titanium backup. I'm using the registered version btw.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Are you using LauncherPro? When you back-up Launcher settings, you get a warning message about the widgets not being properly restored (looks like it's an Android limitation).
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
I'm using launcher pro indeed, however I cannot remember any occurrence of the message you mentioned. Perhaps I missed it.

A shame it cannot be fully backed up though. I find launcher pro running a lot smoother then the stock launcher.
[Desire Android Development] rakec00:
great rom, but i have one 'issuse'. my APN settings are not set, so i can't connect to the internet. this is disturbing. is this rom issue or maybe something else? i have recomendet radio.

Which install order?

Hi,

I am on 1.8 and want to go to 2.4d.

I see I need a new radio rom to install, what is the preferred order?

1. First install new radio rom? Can this be done with the rom manager and install it as a normal rom? Need a wipe?

2. Install the DeFrost 2.4 (d) rom with rom manager, need ful wipe?

Thanx for your answer!
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:
Was the question answered about using newer kernels with older ROMs? Im running 2.2 with OCUV and want to update to the 2.4 OCUV. Would it cause any issues?
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I get it when I use LauncherPro's integrated backup function (Preferences - Backup homescreen & settings). I can live with it, as I don't have that many widgets anyway :)
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:

[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Please give people a chance to post a reply before spamming your questions:

1. First install new radio rom? Can this be done with the rom manager and install it as a normal rom? Need a wipe?

You install your Latest ROM, 2.4d

once your have installed that, go back into Recovery, and install from ZIP and select your Radio File

2. Install the DeFrost 2.4 (d) rom with rom manager, need ful wipe?

If you from such and old version i would highley suggest it
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
First I would apologize for spamming, that was not my intention. I am too excited I guess.

Second thank you very much for your reply!

Third. I do not now how to go into recovery mode and install from the zip. I am using Rom Manager to flash the roms. I have the option to install from SD. This way I can install the rom zip I guess. Right?

[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Hi

Sorry i dont use ROM Manager,

I have the Update.zip

That is this,

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-bravo.zip

Put this on the Root of your SD Card,

Rename to update.zip

Reboot into Recovery,

In the recovery press Up on the Volume and the Power Button,

Select Install Update.zip

And you have the clockwork recovery,

You should find your way from there

Working beautifully

Well I'm a Desire root newbie.

Took the plunge yesterday lunchtime and rooted using unrevoked on a linux box and it worked perfectly.

Then skimmed over the various ROM builds on this forum and decided to go with the DeFrost as I wanted a "Sense"less ROM. Really, really pleased. Clockwork mod made the flashing an absolute doddle and the ROM seems really stable.

Had a few issues getting the SDCard partitioned and working for the apps2sd - I didn't realise that if the device is plugged into a PC when you try to boot with the partitioned SDCard it never gets past the white HTC sceen & logo.

Other than that all good. All I would say is that I think the black notification bar and icons in sense look better than the stock Android ones, oh and also I found Titanium backup a nightmare and really crap at restoring my settings! I'm a whizz at reconfiguring all my settings from scratch now!

Anyone that's not taken the plunge yet, don't be afraid, it works a treat!

Ah... just found one bug which I think you're already aware of, with the camera/video. If I take any photos or video, it shows them as being stored on the SDCard in DCIM/Camera, and I can see them using Astro and Gallery just fine. However, if I then connect the phone to a PC and enable storage device, I cannot see the images on the SDCard from the PC. Then, when I disconnect the phone and disable mass storage, the photos/videos are gone! Kapoof!

Hope this little bug can be ironed out soon :-(

Hello,

I just first try to flash this ROM, look like a silly question but I don't know how to do this. What's adb? Is it Adobe or something?

I do this from Computer's command prompt or from phone's RECOVERY option?

Many thanks for your help. Couldn't wait any longer to flash this ROM.

Have a great day!

You don't do it in recovery. Do it via adb when phone is on or download a Terminal Emulator.

Everything else is working great, battery life has been on par if notbetter than the stock rom.

Flash this blackbar theme

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722983

Much nicer, and has a nice percentage/circle battery mod built in too.

Mmm, it seems like it's especially bad when jumping between sense and non-sense ROMs; I guess part of that's down to the fact that the SMS data and stuff is stored in different places, but it also seems to end up particularly unstable (when I went from Pay's sense ROM back to defrost using TB it would FC every time I went into Settings->Sounds!). It does seem to do fairly well between versions of the same ROM though.
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Just to address your preference of a black notifications bar. This has been tackled by another developer and loads of guys on this thread are using it with Defrost ROMs (inc. myself). It looks and works better than the HTC Sense one. Just flash it using clockworkmod as you would with anything else.

Check it out...

Only twice have I had serious battery drain and on reflection the common denominator was after I'd updated Launcher Pro to latest version from market place. Battery drain was seriously concerning. After a reboot both times it stabilized and was just fine. I noticed this morning there was another Launcher Pro update. After install I rebooted and it's been fine this time. May be a coincidence, I'm not guaranteeing this is the cause... but give it a go.

Yesterday I gave the phone some very serious use. I had an incredibly long txt conversation (mostly just p!ss taking with a mate) this was a 90 minute ping pong marathon back and forth, also had a lot of internet use, was at work for 12 hours, sent emails and much more besides, phone had only gone down to 63%. In my book thats superb battery life.

simply couldn't be better! :):):) Honestly mate, as far as I'm concerned you've done enough!

I miss this too, maybe it is not avaible for Froyo?

I am also missing the dutch dictionary for sms e-mail writting.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Can we put a note about this in FP?

Get "Dialer One" and "Launcher Pro" from the market. Between them you will have what you require, and they're both free (technically donationware, I guess).

You need Launcher Pro because you can't change the default dialler in froyo (dunno why), but it has advantages of its own anyway.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Really, that would be really cool!
[Desire Android Development] scopes64:
Firstly, great rom. Flashed it earlier as I am looking to move to a native froyo rom, but flashed back to my previous as I saw some strange battery usage. It might be normal but I thought I would ask.

When I went into Battery usage, display was sat at the top in 80+% .. is this the norm? I know I spent a lot of time after the flash checking stuff out etc.

How is battery usage in general?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Download Dialer One from the Market and set that as the default dialer. I hate the stock dialer, but as soon as I installed this, I had the functionality I wanted with more options for tweaking settings :)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Seconded. I installed 2.4d yesterday, unplugged at 7:30am and, 8.5 hours later, after a complete wipe and reinstall/reconfigure (thanks to the titanium/sense problem I mentioned earlier) of all my apps OTA (15.5MB of data) about 30 minutes talk time (on bluetooth carkit too), background sync turned on (including live sync of gmail) and all on HSDPA, I'm at 62%. Normally with similar or even less use I'd be down to <40% by now; this 800mV is amazing.

Oh, and I'm still on automatic screen brightness, fwiw.

I had this but even more, here's what I did.

I exported my Google Contacts from within my GMail to a file on my PC.

I uninstalled FB app from Phone.

I then deleted all GMail Contacts, remember you have a back up, check it first :D

I sync'd my contacts to phone, basically blanking all contacts.

I then imported my contacts back to GMail from file and sync'd a clean copy to my phone.

Then added FB app and sync'd to known contacts only (that's my preference).

Now I only have one FB entry per person, and since the bug fix it goes to their profile not mine.

It's actually quicker than this seems, and with a few things going wrong with my contacts I export a back up from time to time anyway and keep it in my Drop Box as a csv file.
