I'm missing stock Android now lol and it's only been a day (on LeeDroid after moving from DeFrost 2.5a yesterday).

All I want to know in order to make me switch back is what is the best way to get the HTC Contacts app on stock FroYo ROMs or is there a modified contacts app that allows me to choose which group newly created contacts go like the HTC contacts app does? The stock contacts app does not give you the option of choosing contact group locations, it just puts it in My Contacts which is terribly lame.

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:
This was a BUG

This sames CORRECT

Led code on older version use a workaround which sometimes give strange results (like purple/blue blink)

FM Radio

In the stock rom there is a FM Radio. Can I download this somewhere and install it?
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
The problem with new versions coming out at such a fast pace is people can't tell if problems they're experiencing are caused by the new ROM version or external factors. Like today I was in a poor signal area and my phone kept hunting for signal, battery was just bleeding away before my eyes.

Just my 2 cents.

I cannot find defrost setup, where do I found it ?

also about the "wizard", what is it ? is it supposed to lauch at first start ?

I wiped before installing 2.5a

thanks
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
It is different. You can now install mods with it (last tab in Defrost Setup).
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
And kernel updates ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
So I tried installing the fixed hosts file; I also reset the battery stats at the same time since I saw someone mention that. Doh, I should have done one at once....

Anyway, since then my battery has gone down 9% in 5 hours, with 3g (H) and gmail sync on, with a 15 minute phone call at lunch time. The only other use was to periodically press the power button to check battery level, plus one spam call which I rejected before answering.

10:19 98%

11:50 96%

12:05 I made a 15 minute phone call

12:23 92%

12:39 92%

13:01 91%

13:30 91%

13:58 91%

14:30 90%

15:16 89%

Will keep an eye on this but at first glance it's made a hell of a difference; even my best figures so far have been >2% an hour on standby, this looks like it's nearer 1%.

Are the battery stats related to the reading (ie could it be lying to me)? I thought they were just for the historical stuff.

[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
no..there is no on non-sense roms..you need the sense framework for this to work..
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Hmm damn... I really like this rom. Is there an alternative?
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
If you want radio, no.. u must try sense roms (Leedroid, Pays-ROM Desire Froyo Sense, NeoPhyTe ROM etc...)
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
That's great news! I've just installed the fixed hosts file and rebooted but I've not wiped the battery stats, so mine is at full charge right now and I'll see what happens when I disconnect it shortly. If it still drops like crazy, I'll try the stats wipe and report back.

help

anyone help i flashed my htc desire with defrost 2.5a and radio 32.42.00.32u.509.0008 and everything seemed to go well but now phone will not switch on please help
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Symptoms? Won't switch on as in nothing at all? Or gets to a certain point? What comes on the screen when you hit the power button?
[Desire Android Development] Poodlemastah:
I seem to be missing the defrost setup completely?
[Desire Android Development] gerardt:
will not switch on at all mate there seems to be no power
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
What happened to norwegian language support? It was there in 2.4d
[Desire Android Development] ElberethZ:
Is it possible to run the Defrost 2.5 Kernel on others Froyo with HTC Sense roms (MCR r6 tbh)? Just wondering because I want my SetCPU back. :D
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Well.. my Wifi still turns off after a while, in 2.5a (10 min, I think). I give up :)

Can you enter the bootloader (menu+power) or fastboot (vol down+power), at least?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Have you tried stuff like pulling the battery then reinserting it and charging a while?

Some people report that it won't boot with the power still connected, so after charging for (say) 10 minutes unplug it before you power up.

Do you get orange LED when you plug the charger in?
[Desire Android Development] hybridnotts:
Auto rotate seems to have stopped working for me since I flashed 2.5a. I did a wipe prior to installing the full Rom with the overclocked kernel and it doesn't rotate in the browser, messaging etc...
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Can we have reboot option in power menu please...
[Desire Android Development] gerardt:
nothing at all guys no power at all
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I would follow Marsbar's advice, then. Take out the battery, reinsert it after a couple of minutes, leave the phone off and plugged to the charger a while (even 30-40min), remove charger and try to power it on again. Aside from that, there's not much else I could think of, sorry.
[Desire Android Development] gerardt:
will try guys thanks any more ideas please let me know
[Desire Android Development] demollom:
Same happens to me and never come back. I must turn it on by hand.

And a reboot button would be nice ;)
[Desire Android Development] GlumeX:
Same for me :-(

DeFroST Setup mod updated

DeFroST Setup mods updated:

* B&W Theme 0.6 for DeFroST (by pinkolin)

* Disable Addblocking (/etc/hosts)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
New Defrost Setup

For everyone having a problem on mod-installation (Error: java.io.FileNotFoundExeption: /data/data/org.judison.defrostsetup/files/reboot(Is a directory))

try this new version
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
What "Addblocking" consist of, please :confused:
[Desire Android Development] blenni:
One really great thing for DeFroST Setup would be to change between Sense and Froyo Stock Brightness Settings (if this is possible)!

Anyway, really great rom, like it very much!
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
The last tab still says "Coming really soon!!!" for me and I'm on 2.5a.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I'm really sorry Richard but i have been a traitor. Since Cyanogenmod nightlys came out i switched roms. However got sick of things being unstable and the RC1 is exactly the same. Switched back to your rom and it sounds mad but the touchscreen seems more responsive and it runs great. The rom has come very far since i used it up to around 1.9.

The only things i miss from Cyanogenmod which could probably be implemented are...

Trackpad to wake (I think i could do this myself)

Dark themeing for notifications bar and messages (Could maybe manage this myself)

Pinch to zoom text reflow (Cyanogen has a setting for this in his settings which makes it work)

Hide visual zoom controls in browser (This is part of their standard browser settings!)

Otherwise loving the fact i now have OC past the 1113mhz mark again. Seems super stable.

Have i missed why there is no setup wizard after a full wipe, clean install? I'm fine without it just not sure if i messed up?
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Perhaps, your signature needs a change then ;)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Trackpad wake is in (strange that you didn't notice :)). Other options i don't know how easy they are. Setup wizard is left out on purpose (some people could not get past the first login).
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Ha silly me. I meant menu to wake. I have a broken trackpad so i wouldn't notice trackpad wake lol.

I can easy add the menu wake for myself. That's done.

The only big ones that others may agree with me on really Richard are Pinch to zoom force reflow and probably hide visual zoom controls in browser.

Of course all the Cyanogen Mod source is available to view so might be easy enough to implement.

I don't want you to change your rom to look like CM but i think them two features are great functionality improvements.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yeah i think so!

EDIT:

I added WAKE_DROPPED to menu in the bravo keypad file. Works ok to wake the screen up but double press does NOT unlock like someone has said.

I want to use menu to wake and unlock :(

Any help? Have i missed some step to make it unlock too?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Kernel updates!

The kernels are updated. Flash from in DeFroST Setup.

Commits from Kali-:

* Fix bluetooth sleep bug

* Ported some .29 HTC OJ/G-Sensor code
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Can we flash this kernel over the 2. 5a ROM or is this a new full install?

Could not find it on the fp.
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Of course you can flash it over 2.5a.. Like he said, just install it with DeFrost Setup :-)
[Desire Android Development] hybridnotts:
Still having issues with th g sensor not picking up my movements. No auto rotate and the compass calibration doesn't pick up my figure of eight motion

Are also the oc Kernels updated?
[Desire Android Development] Kali-:

[Desire Android Development] miamivice:
Nice work, really. the first rom i like without sense^^ the performance is incredible.

!but! ist it somehow possible to disable the wake and disabling of the lock by oj?

didnt find anything about it :-(

[Desire Android Development] gerardt:
i guys was on a little earlier about my phone now not switching back on still no joy guys you think if i sent it back to htc would they fix it under the warranty would the pick up on the fact that i tried to flash it what you think
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
can you point me in the direction of "fixed hosts file" (with instructions?) and how to reset battery stats?

cheers
[Desire Android Development] simonthor:
How can I remove trackpad wake?
[Desire Android Development] hybridnotts:
Tried this and it made no difference
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Yes they are.
[Desire Android Development] failers:
richard i agree with previous posters could you perhaps remove the zoom in and out button in the browser if its possible they are kinda annoying and i doubt anyone is using them on a desire
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Like I said. CyanogenMod has it in browsers settings. Hopefully can be copied so its optional.
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
me too, rotate doesn't work anymore since 2.4d and 2.5
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Had this issue in 2.4d but not sure it was rom related. It worked but then would stop after some time ... Perhaps due to some program.

Seems to be fine on 2.5 for me ... For now, perhaps, later it will stop rotating again.
[Desire Android Development] miamivice:
hmm, cant anybody tell me if there's a possibilty to remove oj wake and unlock? its getting on my nerves, during work the phone always unlocks. dont wanna use unlock-gesture to solve the problem.

cant anybody write a mod or so, 4 those who want it disabled? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] mthie:
It's not default in Froyo to unlock it with the oj but a mod and it has been added as a user wish. But I hate it too and it should be a mod to unlock the phone with the oj...
[Desire Android Development] troca:
Don't understand the problem the oj is extremely hard to press by misstake in your pocket. The button dosent stick out
[Desire Android Development] DrDee:
Any chance of DeFroST setup as an APK?

Be nice to have the new version without changing ROM, I like my 2.4 LOL!

Cant install SetCPU 2.00 says that i have not much more space (but i have)

Its possible to install to this ROM a dialer from the HTC Sense? Like the original desire? Its not very good this... when im pressing the phone icon i wish to search with t9 like my contacts!!!

I have to Wipe commenig from 2.5?

thanks!!!
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
1 (SetCPU): Try following command on your PC:

And try reinstalling again.

2 (Dialer): You can not directly use the HTC Dialer but look for "Dialer One" in Market, it's a pretty good replacement.
[Desire Android Development] tron13:
thanks man!!!

No google icon in search bar

How come the search bar in the new ROM is missing "google" icon/logo?? it was there in 2.4d
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
I have installed the stock ROM from the 1st post (2.5a)

Can anyone now tell me what I need to do to improve battery life?

Sounds like some of you are getting decent use out of yours, mine still only lasts around 7 hours like it did on stock
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Check the Defrost setup, last tab...

Looks like there is some problem with blocking Ad's, update the new host file and give it a try.

Did you do a clean install? or did you come from 2.4d?
[Desire Android Development] imsochobo:
running the old 2.4D

unplug at 07:00

15 calls, wifi, APN, loads of awake time.

at 23:30 56% battery left.

No tweaks, haven't done anything but install and use.

Awesome!!!!!

2.3 consumed somewhat twice as much, at 19:00 my phone would shut off, with less use!
[Desire Android Development] georgemv:
2.4D is still the king. Up until 2.6.34 gets HAVS that is :)
[Desire Android Development] RyLoS2000:
I'm on 2.5a and the led now isn't working for notifications.

I've wiped everything before install. 2.4d was working fine.

I've seen this with handcent and gmail, no led at all.
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
sounds good, cannot find a link to the ROM, will have another look around

I have 2.5a, unplug at 15:00 and it's dead by 22:00, same as stock firmware.

no calls, 30ish texts, couple of looks on Bloo (facebook), checking scores in football last night (Soccer Livescores), WiFi on. My G1 & iPhone 3GS were the same when I had those too
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Which one do I have to install? What is the difference between them?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
You install whatever one you want, both have different clock speeds and max voltages. Obviously 1267MHz will run a bit hotter than 1113MHz.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
I see three of them:

SVC 998Mhz

SVC 1113Mhz

SVC 1267Mhz

On what Mhz does the stock rom runs?

I guess I will go for the 998Mhz which will be the safe I guess?
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Which kernel version

I am a bit confused. I am running 2.5a. I updated the kernel after that using DeFrost Setup.

Now when I look at the kernel updates I see the kernel update again, there is no version info about it.

How do I know if I already has installed this kernel or it is a new one?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
998MHz is the default clock speed for the Desire kernel, that will be your safest bet, yes. However if you want a performance boost for a tiny loss of battery, you could install the higher clock kernels.

Open SetCPU and see what the maximum clock speed is.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Thanx for your Quick Responses!

One last question. SetCPU has to be installed seperatly from the first post?

And although I now the speed, I do not now if it is the latest kernel right which has been given by DeFrost setup?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Although quite happy with stock ROM, I decided to root my phone and install a custom ROM. And I have to say I'm loving DeFrost! Seems to get better with every release, so thanks for that!!

However, just have one little problem. When my phone goes to sleep, WiFi seems to be turning off. That is, when I wake my phone up, it has to connect to WiFi again. Is this a common problem, and if so, is there a solution to this? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
That was supposed to have been fixed. Try going into wifi then press menu. Advanced settings. Set wifi sleep policy to never. Press menu then save.

Try again?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Guess that's why I'm just a junior member ;)

This should solve my problem. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
setupCPU not found

I can not find setupCPU in the 2.5a rom. Has it been gone?
[Desire Android Development] Gerald.W:
Is there a time frame for when the undervolted versions will be released?
[Desire Android Development] Gerald.W:
I believe you have to download it yourself

Thanks, I was mislead by this sentence in the second post

"If you are experiencing battery live issues, then you should probably set up SetCPU. There are possibly still issues with the display, as some people are reporting high display battery usage. However, these steps can make a BIG difference.

1. Find SetCPU in your programs."
[Desire Android Development] tron13:
Hello there...

i have a copy of this (setcpu.apk) to my sd card, bu cant install it!!! Says me that i dont have space (but i have...), the same error i get it and to the Klaxon alarm... i can install everything, except this 2 apps....

does anyone know about this issue?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
It was pre-installed in earlier releases of defrost (see changelog)

But it has been removed from all Roms on the setcpu devs wish .. (i think ;-) )
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I unplugged at 9:00ish yesterday and 24 hours later my battery states 59%. That's with WiFi enabled (and on for probably half the time), bluetooth enabled, 3g enabled, background sync of gmail enabled.

This is with 2.4d with 800mV HAVS kernel after I reset the hosts file and battery stats (still not sure which one did this).

Absolutely stunning. Truly. Normally I have to plug in by 9pm.

Geoff
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Where can I reset the battery stats?
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
@richardtrip

Could you please confirm that the charging fix from here is indeed compiled into the 2.6.34 kernel?

I am asking because the charge dropped to 99% and then began charging again. I did not remove my phone from the USB so I think this is the "previous" charging fix Paul made but not the latest one.

With the latest fix (I was using Paul's ROM for a bit) the charge should always stay at 100% until you disconnect the USB cable.
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
can any tell me where to get 2.4d (cannot find it anywhere!), specifically with 800mV kernel

and also how to reset hosts file and battery stats (I asked yesterday but thats about 6 pages ago now so I'm guessing no one saw)
[Desire Android Development] imsochobo:
same here with 800mv havs.

3g, wifi, gmail sync, no task KILLER!

I did sent 130 mails that day! + alot of calling.

I charge my phone anytime i sit still, but yesterday, I just had to check.

And im not upgrading for a while now, till I know the next one can do as good on battery, and better on the software!

2.4D currently rocks my desire!
[Desire Android Development] pangmy3:
Hi...richardtrip

Thanks for your Great Rom.

Can you doing one Chinese input + Handwriting keyboard for asia user??
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
For older versions just have a look at http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/

Easiest way to wipe the battery stats:

In AmonRA Recovery -> wipe -> Wipe battery stats

Otherwise you have to delete a file on the system partition..

idk which one though...
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
bookmarked!

thank you very much!

I found this to reset battery, hope it's right: rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
I can concur. I installed the fixed hosts file (to allow ads) and the battery consumption is back to normal now.

I'm interested in the 800mv kernel - can I install that over my existing kernel on 2.5a? or is it only compatible with 2.4d? I don't want to go back to 2.4d because of the "stuck" LED notification issues.

Simon
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
And if you use clockwork mod? And wie evert thing? Or use rommanager ?how can you wie those things?
[Desire Android Development] mmace:
can you help? I've asked about the hosts file in the past but had no response, what/where is it?

cheers
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
If you are using 2.5(a) you can flash it from Defrost Setup.
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Yep - you download the zip from here:

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

The direct link is:

http://pinky.netlab.cz/ftp/themes/standard-etc-hosts-signed.zip

Install that one in recovery and away you go. :)
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
What is a host file? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)

located at /system/etc/hosts

It's supposed to block ads..

But it also seems to raise the battery drain alot.. (Maybe it has too much google analytics stuff to block :rolleyes:)

However...

How to get the standard one back has been said already (easiest way with DeFrost setup or http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/standard-etc-hosts-signed.zip via recovery)
[Desire Android Development] hally83:
Just upgraded from 2.0e to 2.5a, any way to get the multi-coulered LED notifcations back? i.e. flashin green/orange when charging and blue/purple for notifications?

I liked that feature ;)

Nice work on the ROM too by the way!
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
It was no feature, just a bug... even though i liked that bug better :D

see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7366655&postcount=7461

Sad its only-orange now.. can't be changed with MissedReminder and similar apps either...

I wonder if it's the same with the froyo sense roms too?!
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Are both modified and normal host files on there, so I can switch between the two?
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
2.5 uses a new kernel for which there is no 800mV version yet. 2.4d HAVS kernels are not compatible since 2.4 uses a different kernel.

Wait or roll back to 2.4d in the mean time. 2.5a was great on my phone but I always need that extra 10-20% of battery/day I can get from 800mV kernels so I rolled back for now.
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
No, just the normal host file, but should be no problem to get the modified one from the rom :)

Would actually be a good idea to place the modified one on there too.

Edit: Or from here http://dnlgee.co.uk/downloads.php?f=UpdateHosts.200710.zip / dnlgee's signature :b [modified hosts]

Reflash the full .zip and you should be back to normal again. ( I think )
[Desire Android Development] rcourtman:
This really is a great Rom Richard - nice one. Is anyone having trouble with the headphone jack not activating when you plug them in? In terms of the sound continuing out the speaker?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
If i want to reverse something i would open the mod (blackbar) zip file. Replace each file in the zip with the corresponding one from the full Defrost rom. Disable verification in recovery then flash it. Makes sure anything that got replaced gets flashed back to stock and nothing more.
