I think chris2busy was replying to you, and to use a BFS and SVS kernel. I use a BFS and HAVS kernel personaly.

You can find all the kernels here - http://xda.richardtrip.org/kernels/ - or the most recent ones in the DeFroST setup. This is a link to kernel 6.0c BFS + SVS kernel, http://xda.richardtrip.org/kernels/DeFroST_6.0c_svs_1113Mhz_bfs.zip however, it is up to you to decide which one your phone likes and works best with.

Flashing is the same as the ROM. just download, and then go to "install zip from SD card", and choose the zip, as far as i know, no need for a wipe, it is just writing over the old kernel!

I think the easiest way for you to chose and flash the kernel is using DeFroST setup and then using ClockworkMod Recovery - or the Recovery of your choice.

Hope that helps!

Have you tried a higher voltage kernel?

The maps issue is due to sd card mounting, it's not the end of the world.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] kolaf:
No, I haven't. What is the voltage of the default kernel? Or alternatively, which kernel should I choose that has a higher voltage?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Default kernel is highest voltage - you can only undervolt, and that is by changing kernel. If you haven't changed it, you can not get a higher voltage kernel.
[Desire Android Development] kolaf:
Thanks, that was what I assumed. So that rules out increasing the voltage to achieve stability. What about changing to one of the other kernel versions? Is it conceivable that that will have an impact?
[Desire Android Development] :
The rom has fantastic battery life, the thing what will make you think it hasnt is using flash video, it will eat your battery ALIVE!!!

I also found removing Dolphin HD improved my battery life, im only using the stock browser now;))

Great ROM;) Best ROM out there by far;)

Is there something I can do about the echo issue?
[Desire Android Development] puttitat:
Dunno if its just 0.7b, but today my phone was full charged at about 4 a clock, and at 8 a clock it claimed to be below 15 percent. I haven't been using the phone at all - it has just been laying on the table "idling", no WiFi or such activated.

Wonder what happened, it's in the charger again now, it this issue contiunes, I'll report again.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
The rate he's been updating it i'd say today or tomorrow. It's great that he is constantly releasing newer versions. He will get it perfect eventually but for now 7b is fantastic.

No echo.

No led issues.

No WLAN issues.
[Desire Android Development] :
the echo is experienced at the other persons end, so if you dont have moaning mates then you will never know;) I have personally tested at home and the echo is there but its very slight;) Its usually jealous mates that have got ****ty little brick phones that are analising your call... But like i say, its very very slight and unoticable;)

Battery life is excellent... I changed to the UVonly version yesterday and today, my stats are totally different!!! instead of the shocking 70% display I have this after 9 hours of use:

Voice calls 35%

Display 28%

Cell standby 16%

Phone idle 10%

Bluetooth 6%

Android OS 2%

Fantastic!!!

My phone is still 75% charged which is amazing... on the uvoc rom I would be on easily 50% or less by now... so I'm a happy boy... cracking work Richard :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Actually just rang our lass and she said it echoes really bad when i am at home. If i go in the garden then she said it was barely noticeable but still there so i guess i do have that problem.

Wonder what causes it? Must be baffling the rom makers as none of them have fixed it. Is it related to kernel or something userspace?
[Desire Android Development] :
1.SETCPU profiles (sleep 245 - 385)

2. screen timeout 2 mins

3. brightness 25 percent

4. use stock internet browser

5. all sync to 1 hour

I lose 1 percent every hour on sleep and i can now go nearly 2 days with medium usage.

Also watching flash movies will nuke your battery;)

Just rooted and upldaded froyo

Hey guys,

I have just rooted my phone with a goldcard and i then uploaded froyo . I came up with a few problems

1. the browser kept crashing but after reading a bit i just cleared the data from the browser and it seems to work fine now.

2. when i click on the phone from the home view, it says "application is not installed on phone" lol which is a bit weird ? do i need to install it ?

I have been looking over quite a few posts but could not find a solution to the 2nd problem

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] :
Did you do a wipe of your sd card?

JD
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
@JupiterDroid: could you pls upload your setcpu.txt? Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I dont know too much about kernels, however, i use the @875mV kernel. My phone is stable with it, and i believe it will increase batterly life, beacuase it is undervolting when it can. I think it was suggested to increase the voltage as it can make some phones act weird (undervolting them), as it will be different on every different phone.

You problem is a weird one, could it be that the phone is over heating? although you say it is out in the cold, listen to the music constantly could make it hot? I have read hat the turn off at 50°C, although i doubt that your phone is hitting that temperature.

Also in your post you mention the maps problem, and someone says it is a problem with SD card mounting. Maybe the problem is your SD card, and it is corrupted, or on its way out. Does the spotify save the music there, or is it streaming?

Edit : you can change kernel if you want. I believe that the SVS are more stable than the HAVS, and that the CFS is what google use, and BFS is a second schedular, but i dont really know what the difference is between them! Google can help here!
[Desire Android Development] kolaf:
The app running is not spotify, it is audible for audio books. So it reads audio files from the SD card for the entire time when I am running. I can listen to the same order books for hours at a stretch when I'm not running (not running sportstrack simultaneously). I also have no problem with this combination when running at when I have Leedroid loaded. I therefore do not suspect the SD card.

Also, I do not think it is the temperature. As I said, I have been running out in -12°C with the phone in an outside pocket, so cooling shouldn't be a problem. It did not feel hot when I touched. At other times, however, the phone has turned extremely hot without apparently doing anything, just lying by itself. Even in this case the heat did not lead to a shutdown.

I am in the process of reinstalling 6.1a on a wiped phone. My plan is to just try to mess around with different kernels and see what happens. Which is the most optimal one to try first, do you think?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
That is strange then!

I use the HAVS BFS 1113 @875mV kernel - this has best battery life for me, and i prefer the BFS schedular. I use this with a smartass scaling governor at the moment. I prefer the interactive governor, however, after a while i get horrible lag with it! Smartass still, occasionaly, has the wake up problem with having to hold the power on button.

As said in previous post (edited, you may have missed it)...

I believe that the SVS are more stable than the HAVS, and that the CFS is what google use, and BFS is a second schedular, but i dont really know what the difference is between them! Google can help here! 12 Page PDF explaining the difference - i think, i havent read it!
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
Ok im having a nightmare trying to get the sd formatted for app2sd!

iv tried 3 different partitioning programs for windows and also a gparted live cd as well. none have worked, the problem seems to be that i format and partition correctly and it all looks good i then try it in the phone and i get a boot loop?

Looking at the sd in the said software and the ext partition is showing as unknown not ext?

problem number 2 - i have just switched to win7 and am having problems with the htc sync drivers and cant adb into my phone so i cant change the recovery that way, is there a way to change the recovery in phone (im am s-off if it helps)

Thanks to all suggestions already contributed.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, have you tried the Rom Manager way? as that is maybe the most straight forward way! for me it was anyway!

can you use unrEVOked to flash a recovery, if you dont have one? also on the unrEVOked site, there are modified drivers, these hboot drivers. that maybe able to help you.

They also say to install HTC Sync, then to uninstall it, leaving behind the drivers!
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
First of all, yesterday I've tried this software to partition in Win7, it works excellent. Don't forget the FAT partition should be the first partition, the EXT partition has to be at the end. Should work...

Second, you can flash recovery with fastboot, you don't need HTC sync or anything. See this post to download the image file. Place it in a simple directory, for example C:\tools. Then reboot into bootloader and connect your phone with USB cable. Then enter the follwing commands in a command shell:

fastboot devices (to see if your phone is recognized)
fastboot flash recovery C:\tools\recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img

Of course, backup first!!!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Quick question, can you back up via fastboot?

I'm new to S-OFF and havent really played around it with it too much - or even looked at all the commands in fastboot! Thanks! :)
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
I have attached the usb drivers for win7 64 bit. You'll still have to get the Android-ADK for windows. Hopefully that will help.

Also, i saw someone post this before, hopefully you tried it, but i'll mention it again, ROM Manager does a great job of formatting the SDCARD

also, when you boot loop, is the phone always restarting, or does it just feel like it's constantly just looping the animation?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
And regarding boot loop, would a wipe be nessecary or not? as that may fix it?

I'm just guessing :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Ai, I forgot that nandroid backups made in Clockwork are not usable with Amon Ra and vice versa. Anyway, i don't think it's possible to make backups with fastboot, use recovery for that. To be honest, I haven't played around with S-Off that much either, but flashing a recovery was very, very easy this way...
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
Wiping always helps!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I think flashing anythign is much easier. I changed my splash screen and only after i realised i was using Fastboot - lol! also done the N1 table, and as you say, it is very very easy!
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
A boot loop can be caused by many problems. The most reported problem, is a faulty or wrongly partitioned SD card. Thus, repartitioning and reformatting may help. Second, if a boot loop persists, you could try to wipe just the dalvik-cache first. If all that fails, then a full-wipe will be necessary to fix the problem...

-edit- of course, I also used it for the N1table. Now that you mention it, flashing is indeed much easier :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I have had a long day at work, what's your excuse rPad... we both suggested Rom manager although he is in a boot loop... :)

Of course it is possible from another phone, but not everyone had a second Android phone, rooted too...

Right managed to sort out the PC to phone problem with some updated drivers for win7 and fastbooted the RA desire v2 recovery with the partition sd option, so popped the sd in and partitioned in recovery all going well but still get the same problem the phone just freezes at the HTC screen.

i used the software quoted above with the same out come?

@RichardTrip are 32gb class 4 micro sd cards supported??

The reason i can not partition through rom manager is that with the sd card in the phone it wont boot!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, i worked that bit out after :rolleyes: lol...

Now that you have your SD card partitioned, i would now recommend doing a full wipe and starting from scratch, and then seeing if you get a bootloop, as there is nothing to suggest that you should.

It should never freeze at the HTC (splash) screen though, should it? the boot loop is the actual boot animation looping around..

Maybe try leaving it for a couple of minutes before doing a battery pull?
[Desire Android Development] maksimal_de:
I have the same problem with forced closes of the market, anyone got an idea else than deleting the cache/files of the app in the preferences->apps?

[Desire Android Development] hajen78:
I am afraid that the only thing that helps is, wipe and then install 6.1 and then boot up connect to google, and then install 6.1a.

I have tried everyting else, but the only way i got it to work was the one above ^

Edit* Make sure market works in 6.1 before flashing 6.1a

Edit again* It also helps on the led problem.

hi guys,

i have a little issue which is bugging me and wondering if it is happening to anyone else?

i have set my phones sounds settings so that vibrate is selected as 'always', i have a control app widget which switches between sound, vibrate and silent, everytime i switch between them, if i go back to sound options, vibrate as been turned off.

sorry if thats confusing... basically i cant get my phone to vibrate and i want it to! lol

any ideas?

many thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So its set to always vibrate, and when you put it in silent it turns the vibrate off? When you want it to on?

I just used my widget for sounds (extended controls, silent and silent/vibration) and they both turned to the respective setting, but in my settings the vibrate was set to "always" still...

Since downgrading to 6.1 ROM and 6.0c HAVS/BFS/925mV kernel, it appears I have no issues.

No missing LED notifications, no excessive battery drain, etc. :)

Working great for me. I recommend that combo for anybody that has problems.
[Desire Android Development] moley10:
yeah basically, im using the default power control widget.

it always goes back to vibrate only when in silent mode.. but yet even when full sound is on and vibrate is set to always in the sound options the phone still doesnt vibrate.

6.1se: HAVS vs SVS

I've tested both of them (BFS versions) and it appears that system clock is getting slow with havs kernels, and everything is ok with svs ones.

NB: SVS + BFS 1190 + SetCPU was incredibly unstable on my phone - I even was unable to run Super Tumble game. Sometimes freezes were getting me just before entering pin-code so I've returned to SVS + BFS 1113.
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
Yep still here and still no closer to figuring this out?

Im now confident that i have a correctly partitioned and formatted sd as it was done through recovery but i have done a full wipe and re flashed the latest rom (6.1a) but the phone hangs at the htc slash screen, iv had it sitting there for 6-10min doing nothing??

Has anyone had a 32gb sd working on defrost yet? i just hope i dont have a incompatible card (its a kingston 32gb class 4)

With Rom manager it also makes a swap partition... I don't know what these are, but I guess are needed...

I've copied this from a thread I just found.. I haven't read the whole thread though, but looks interesting...

Step 5: Create your new partitions. You can make these any size, but the most common setup is 32 MB linux-swap partition, 512 MB ext2 partition, and remaining free space as a fat32 partition. In order to work properly, the partitions must be created in this order: fat32, ext2, linux-swap. The linux-swap partition is used for a swap file on some builds. Not all builds use linux-swap, but I create one just in case I ever need it.

I might have to go back to sense or some other rom for time being, though it'll be pain to backup all my settings, and customizations. The phone will drain to 25% in about 15 hours or so, that's not usable.

This rom has all features I want so it'll suck if I go to a lesser ROM. I'm sure many feel the same way as me. :(
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
I don't want to sound bad.

But when you are sure you've partitioned the card right.

Follow the instructions on first page, and have a look at danfrance's signature as there is a big q&a, and there might be something there that we've all over looked.

And for last silly question. You are rooted right? Think you said you were s-off, do you still have your nandroid from that process? Does that work? Making sure you've wiped everything, cache, dalvik-cache, and have no apps hiding in in ext? Have you tried to download defrost 6.1a.zip file again as could be corrupt (important one, does it say anything after you flash file in recovery).

Well is long list, let us know what happens.
