Hmm it´s the best HAVS kernel for me ...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Been trying DeFrost since 4.5, with HAVS kernel and have had absolutely no crash whatsoever. It's faster than Sense ROMs, stable, and very easy on the battery. Absolutely no issue here...
[Desire Android Development] kelix:
Has anyone got "quiet times" to work?

I can't on 4.7. Phone stays in same mode during the designated hiurs
[Desire Android Development] entropy1024:
Does DeFRost ROM support stereo Bluetooth?

I can't get my Nokia BH-214 Bluetooth Stereo headset to work with my HTC Desire.

I have previously had it working fine with the stock HTC sense & the LeeDroid ROM. I have recently loaded the DeFRost 4.6 ROM.

I can get it to pair OK and it appears in the 'Bluetooth Devices' list as 'Paired but not connected', when I try to connect I get a 'Cannot establish communication with Nokia BH-214' error.

I am guessing this ROM does not support the A2DP standard. Is there a workaround?

[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
DeFroST Setup is in /data/app, not system/app

More likely that OP has performed a wipe after installing the ROM, not before - that wipes the apps in /data/app

Just reinstall the ROM with no wipe and DeFroST setup should reappear.

Either that or copy it out of the zip file and install it manually.
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Actually I did both ;-)

I'll reflash it :)

Thnx!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Oh right. In that case, anyone know what DFparts.apk and DFpartsHelper.apk are in system/app?
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Just guessing ...

DFParts -> "CyanogenMod" in the settings

DFParts Helper -> Homescreen -> Shortcuts - DeFrost Settings / Widgets - RenderFX Widget

Could be wrong though :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Heh. Judging by the contents of DFParts.apk\res\xml\ I'd say you're right.
[Desire Android Development] Enhdojo:
Have you tried the google search on your phone?
[Desire Android Development] WhiteChristmas:
I set it between 15:44 & 15:45 yesterday and rang myself - the phone rang which lead me to believe it wasn't working.

I set it again last night to go quiet from 22:30 (until 06:30) and was surprised when I received a text (and subsequent reply texts) as the phone didn't make a notification sound (or vibrate). I might try phoning myself tonight after 22:30, just to check. Didn't think about it until just now, but the sound is obviously back on as I've received texts today and the notification sound has played.

I think I was expecting the phone to show that it is in silent mode in the notification bar - which obviously it doesn't.
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
i am still on 4.5a.. very stable..

thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Cheers guys...
[Desire Android Development] JaymZ37:
Good work again :)

Very stable, very fast, as usual with DeFroST^^

Any chance to see "fastboot" on next update ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Likewise. However, I do find Wifi a drain when not connected. Do you?

More than noticed before.
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
WiFi N

anyone here who did it successfully?

:mad:
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
I've just switched my router to 5ghz -> doesn't work.

With 2,4ghz it works fine, also in n mode (65 mbit/s)
[Desire Android Development] louisebb:
Sorry for repeating this question, it's just important for me to get my OpenVPN Settings (from market) working.:(

I tried 4.6 and 4.7 and Openvpn Setting doesn't work, it always reboot. Please help!

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Flash a kernel from DeFrost Setup.

The kernels on there are the 4.5 kernels and the problem doesn't occur with them ;)

So just flash back to 4.7 (incase you haven't done yet) and flash a kernel from the DF Setup afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
Stop using DeFrost

I'm sorry to say that I will not be using this great ROM.

I've used it from the beginning and think it is one of the best ROM's on the market today, but now more and more crap is making it's way into the ROM.

I started using custom ROM's because I think that HTC Desire ROM is full of crap and I wanted to use a lean and clean ROM, but now there is almost more crap in this custom ROM then there is in the HTC one, so sorry but this is not my cup of thea anymore. I'm out looking for a new, clean ROM.

Don't get me wrong, I cannot do what you do and have lots of respect.!!

Good luck...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I agree there are a lot of superfluous apps in the rom, but its a great rom.

Its the best ive tried. I love it. Spending 2 minutes removing unwanted .apk's before flashing is a small price to pay for such a well supported, fast, stable and quite rankly breath-of-fresh-air ROM.
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
Anyone having problems with their Exchange mail? Stopped working since moving to 4.7

edit - switched back to 4.5a and it connected and synced fine. wow...this is scary man.... :(
[Desire Android Development] jdearauj:
What is the best way to remove the unwanted .apk's?

Sorry did remember seeing it mentioned in the thread, but the thread is MASSIVE and still have not been able to find it.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well you can use adb shell once installed but best way is open the zip in winrar, go into system/app and remove them before flashing. I remove all the voice stuff, the car stuff, keyboard and Geniewidget. You need to know what to remove though and be careful not to remove anything important
[Desire Android Development] louisebb:
I installed SVS Kernel 4.5_998 and it works, no more reboot.

Thanks a lot!
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
I do the same but can't help to think a list of app files and a description is needed as something sound harmless but will kill key functionality if removed.
[Desire Android Development] svrroot:
i think all the stuff which is available in the market should be keep out (titanium backup, chrome to phone, twitter, aso...)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I think you all are right.... See what i can do :-)
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Running DeFrost 4.6 SVS998.. Wifi is no longer working after 12 hours of use. I turn it on, it is unable to scan/detect any networks, and then it automatically shuts off. Also, sometimes it just brings a pop up msg asking to force close/wait/report.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
I can not find the coulered icons in defrost setup 4.7 where can I find them?
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
maybe google maps and gmail as well, since this IS a froyo rom. or would that take up too much space?

edit : also, any idea why exchange wouldn't sync on 4.7 but would when i went back to 4.5a?
[Desire Android Development] UpSpin:
yep, removing market apps is a welcome addition. People who use this ROM also use a backup tool like Titanium which restores the needed apps with no issue at all.

However, non market apps shouldn't just get removed. Because I for example don't know where to find the latest version and don't want to connect my phone to my PC to install such an app or modify the ROM file.

You have such a great DeFrost App, isn't it possible to add the removed non-market apps as optional download there too, like the Google News app which I hate :D But some people probably use it and may miss it, but have no clue how to install it again later. The same with the car app, some people need it, others not.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Titanium is handy to have in the rom. If you have to reset, you'd have to go through all the gmail set up, download and install just to restore. Titanium on the rom is a good idea.

Also, you can edit the rom zip system/app using astro on the phone. Its slower than winrar on a pc, but it works.

I often find I missed a removal of an app, edit the zip in the defrostsetup folder on the sd card and reflash it over the existing rom.
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Has anyone encountered my problem? Wifi not working?
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
Software in or out

I don't / didn't want to start the endless discussion of what software should be in or out. (I agree that market apps should be left out)

The choose of software is up to the maker of the ROM, so i'll leave that up to you, I do think that you do not need any backup software to resore your apps, the ones that you downloaded from the market are in your download list and get restored after a full wipe thanks to googles backup functions. The ones you added yourself from your PC or SD card are.. well on your PC or SD card...

I don't think ROM's should be build with to much software inside and let's face it, with this populairity you're not making it for yourself anymore :D

About the "remove APK's from ROM" discussion, I like the way you can download en flash this ROM over the air, without any PC or other software needed. I can upgrade to a new version while I drive home in my car !!

Let me end with a question: I want to remove the CMStats and CMWallpaper crap, but the f**king phone won't let me.

try1:

adb remount

** remount succesfull

adb uninstall CMStats.apk

** failure

try2:

adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# find -name CMStats.apk

./system/app/CMStats.apk

# rm /system/app/CMStats.apk

err: directory not empty

# rm -R /system/app/CMStats.apk

err: directory not empty

so maybe you guys could show me an easy way to kill CMStats.apk en CMWallpapers.apk

Thanks!

ps: I know now i'm spoiled, not a lot of ROM's out there with this quality :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
Found my own way....

Quick update, the removing works in recovery !!

Thanks!

I think i'll remove some crap and stick with this ROM, but please remove those "unwanted" apps while baking so I can flash the new versions on the go..!
[Desire Android Development] fivefour:
The command is 'rm -rf foo.apk'....be very careful with -rf as it can forcibly remove entire folders if not called properly.
[Desire Android Development] fivefour:
You could put all baked in apps into /data and the end user could successfuly update/uninstall these apk's at will.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Then just use rm -f
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
Unix commands

Can I use more "complicated commands" also, like:

rm -f | find -name Voice*.apk

will that work?

So I can make a blacklistapp.sh ?
[Desire Android Development] fivefour:
Right no recursive, I always use it out of habit.
[Desire Android Development] fivefour:
You need to make certain the commands exist but sure...sscript it up.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Well that won't, because what you're doing is passing the output of rm (nothing) to find (which doesn't take input).

What you mean is

find / -iname 'voice*.apk' -exec rm "{}" \;
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
The Android shell

or maybe:

for i in `ls | find -name voice*.apk`; do rm $i; done

and first test it with:

for i in `ls | find -name voice*.apk`; do echo $i; done
[Desire Android Development] Dramiro:
I remove *apk's very easy.

1) Download ROM.zip

2) Open with a program (Winzip, Izarc or others)

3) Go to /system/app and remove *.apk

4) Go to /data/app an remove *.apk

5) Got to /system/app and I add ADWlauncher

6) Recovery chose zip from sdcard and all is OK :p

I think the best is two o three zip, one with the essential programs to run the ROM an others with addons (wallpapers, google programs, etc)

If I want more apps I have the market.

In my opinion this is the big handycap all ROM's a lot of apps that I not use.

For me Defrost is the best ROM I test, more rapid, more stable, but others ROM's like CyanogenMod use two packets. This is may opinion.

Best,

Dramiro

P.D: Yes, Yes my english it's a big crap. Soooorrryyyy
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
That's fine unless there's a lot of matching files - or any with spaces in.

Edit: and except that the ls does nothing, although it won't do any harm
[Desire Android Development] NCFreezz:
Yes I know, but like I said, I want to flash the ROM while I'm not on my computer. Like in the train or even in the car. And I don't like editing zip files on my phone. But thanks anyway..
[Desire Android Development] Dramiro:
A sorry one last chose:

Defrost 4.7 with Radio 10.5.23 suck my battery only 12 hours From 100% to 0 :(

Do you test the last RADIO 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14? It's better? Is necessary to aply update-RIL-signed.zip?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
How do I flash back an older version of DeFrost? Using Clockwork recovery as normal or using DeFrost Setup?
[Desire Android Development] kwaille:
For those who are interested,circle battery mod from 4.4 & 4.5 are working on 4.7...
[Desire Android Development] Dramiro:
I use Clockwork Recovery
[Desire Android Development] kelix:
Hemmed quiet hours says it can dim the screen and do other things (which don't occur)

Ideas?
[Desire Android Development] asmaridis:
Well I've upgraded to DeFrost 4.7 (radio 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14) and the Wifi problem persists. I then tried to go back to radio 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 and that still didn't solve it. Could my Desire's wireless card have died?
[Desire Android Development] Enhdojo:
I have 4.7 and no wifi connection issue.

It's seems that the battery doesn't last as long as before, but i can't tell if it's wifi related, just the ROM, the radio... or something else that i'm not aware of.

btw i have the 5.11 radio.
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
trying 4.8 now
[Desire Android Development] Enhdojo:
Agreed 110%!

What about a poll to sum up every conserned flasher opinion?

richard?

Thx again and plenty of gratitude for the hard work!
[Desire Android Development] faceqt:
I agree, put all the baked/added apps in to data/app some people want them, some don't. As said, that enables us to remove/update at will without digging through zips and/or adb.

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
[Desire Android Development] Enhdojo:
Yep!... 4.5 working like a charm.
[Desire Android Development] deeeez:
Does apps2sd+ the default action if there is an ext3 partition. Because my phone storage has dropped a couple megs 141-138 since installing some apps.

Is there anything to do to activate apps2sd+ my understanding is that there would be no app data stored on phone storage in this configuration. only froyo apps2sd stored some data on phone memory?

am i wrong? can someone help me check that it is working properly.
[Desire Android Development] The Asgard:
Yes. I suspect it's all to do with the wake problems after the OJ was fixed.
[Desire Android Development] Theteenystar:
And I am now on 4.7 and Titanium backup makes all the time FCs :( 4.6 the same Problem.

FCs again and again and again....

I can do what i want :( reinstall,clear cache but nothing changes :(

What can i do ?
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
BUG

BUG: Flashlight does not work when toggling on the "energy-settigngs" bar/widget. The screen goes white - the LED does nothing.

BUG?: (or maybe a technical restriction of the Desire) WiFi N patch does not work for 5GHz N band/frequency.
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
Try first upgrade to 4.8
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
where is 4.8 Marty McFly?
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
I think it just got uploaded :p as much as I'm sure he wishes he was Marty McFly

http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/DeFroST_4.8.zip

Edit: I'm flashing now =D
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
whats the update procedure for 4.7 to 4.8?

Wiping cache and dalvik before flashing the zip is also enough?
[Desire Android Development] acolwill:
I've just reverted back to 4.7... flashing 4.8 over 4.7 resulted in dead WiFi.
[Desire Android Development] prinzhernan:
Hi. I just rooted my month old desire since I liked your vanilla interface. Good job on it! I love how fast and stable it is. I have a question though, in DeFrost setup, what are those kernel things I understand overclocking but what does the voltage do?
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
What is the updates in 4.8? Android 2.2.1? =)
[Desire Android Development] m_d_s:
mkbootimg

I'm trying to get USB host working with this ROM based on Sven Killig's work. This seems to have worked with an older version of DeFroST (check out thread 702742).

I used unrevoked3 to install ClockworkMod which I used to install DeFroST 4.7. I then downloaded the kernel used for DeFroST 4.7, Sven Killig's patch and .configure files and built the kernel (needed to make one change to the patch and one to the .configure file).

I also unpacked the boot.img that comes with DeFroST 4.7, so now have a new zImage file and a ramdisk: boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz

I tried to use the new kernel with fastboot:

fastboot boot zImage boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz

But then get the error:

creating boot image...
creating boot image - 2557952 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

So, my current plan is to build a new boot.img, copy my existing nandroid backup of DeFroST to a new directory, replace the boot.img in that directory, update the md5sum file, and 'restore' the modified backup. However, I'm not sure what options I need to build the new boot.img

I know that I need at least:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot.img

I think I also need to pass the --cmdline option and the --base option. What are the correct parameters for those options with this ROM and the Desire?

Thanks,

Mike
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
anyone has the 4.5a cg/colored icons zip? the forum rollback removed dw515's post. :)
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Maybe richard can place then in defrost setup again. Please richard?
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
only if he has dw515's version.....the previous version made from the mod site were very poor to say the least. :D
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Wifi works fine for me, flashed 4.8 over 4.7
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
There is no 4.8 update anywhere :/
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
About WIFI

just flashed the 4.8 and found out that the wifi is not working.
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
I did a full wipe and all that, and the radio is 32 ... . ...5.10.05.23
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
You must be on 4.7 because 4.8 is not released
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/

there is the 4.8 update

my wifi is working after upgrade from 4.7 to 4.8
[Desire Android Development] otto_di2:
About WiFi

Its seems like that it is in the kernel, when I updated to HAVS 998 MHz inthe DeFrost update manager, then the WiFi is working again. :-)

/Otto
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Hmmm 4.7 is 105Mb and 4.8 is about 76Mb?
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
What battery percentage mod do you people use in combination with Defrost? I've tried 2, but both did not work. And the site for the battery circle mod's is down.... Personally I prever a normal battery (blue) with the percentage in it.

Colorfull icons (wifi, data, etc) would also be nice....

Can I use the Defrost 4.5 framework for that posted on the site of richardtrip?
[Desire Android Development] Last Second:
Changed because of stability issues again from OD to Defrost and this time without stability issues.

And can even use the HAVS kernel, wifi is working, battery life is great, everything feels very smooth.

Thank you richard.

Is there any difference between a 1190Mhz HAVS Kernel and a 998Mhz HAVS Kernel, if I do not use SetCPU or any other Overclocking tools?

P.S.: My clean 4.7 install (wiped everything)works so fine, that i prefer to wait for more experiences and a changelog, before updating on 4.8
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Auxiliary applications are removed and in a separate zip file. See the DeFroST Setup after you install 4.8.

Not yet. I think it's a new framework. The online theme kitchen should be back online by tomorrow though, so it should be resolved soon.

Nope, no difference.
[Desire Android Development] buchman:
Thats because there is an apps zip now with it.
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
hm i think its not the best solutions with a seperate apps.zip

titanium backup and rom manager are essential in my opinion.

actualy i have to choice if i want all apps or no apps! noooo thats a bad choice!!!
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
But what's essential for one, is not essential for the other....

Now everybody can decide what he or she wants in the rom....

Although I must admit I find it quite handy if some basic apps are allready in the rom..
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
How can i use my Desire with Defrost 4.7 as a Modem for my Laptop to use Internet with my Laptop? Or is there a chance to include wlan Hotspot in this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
this function is actually available, I couldn't find it either, until I installed MySwitch Pro. This had an option for Wifi Hotspot. I haven't yet tested it though.
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
damn...i flashed 4.8 with wipe. the problem now, i have to download rom manager and titanium backup from market to restore my apps and apps data. realy cool....when i join the market, he's downloading all apps i had in my download list before flashing. thats absolutly ****! thats why i said, RM and TB are essential!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
m0nji,

I personally prefer to download the apps from the market (as it goes automatically) and I also delete TB and RM after every single flash I do. They are useless for me - got DF Setup and I got market to sync my apps. Who needs something else ?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
If only there was some way of flashing the ROM without losing all your installed apps, or at least a way, if you'd wiped your phone, of redownloading all the apps you'd installed automatically.

Oh.
[Desire Android Development] Bart1981:
Also with RM en TB applications will be automaticly be restored from the market, this is a feature of Android....
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
It's in vanilla DeFroST.

Home->Menu->Settings->Wireless & Networks->Tethering & portable hotspot
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
Thats why u choose no apps and then go out and get what you need. Thats the point of the new release
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
so its better to stop downloading all apps (not with a single click! u have to stop ervery app with 2 clicks) an reinstall TB and RM as to uninstall 2 apps in your opinion?! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

why i want to stop downloading all apps? not everybody flash his device next to a wlan access point! so its a huge ammount of traffic! and i want to restore my apps with data saved on SD!

some people rooted her phones especially for TB!
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I did not release anything. If you want to be sure just wait for me to post a changelog (or change things while testing :-). My final 4.8 version has Titanium Backup and ROM manager included because i need them myself also.
[Desire Android Development] m0nji:
great! thx a lot!
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
+1 about that. ;-)
