depends on your needs.... i prefer DeFrost atm but I may switch to DJDroid when his new ROM comes out. I don't really do this because I want Sense, but I want 720p recording and the HTC Camera App.
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
+1. Actually, what I like about Sense is FM and very good Camera App. Other widgets are useless and comsump too much ram which slow the perfermance significantly.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Richard,

unfortunatly your boot image is still to big for the bad block devices.

Is it possible to create on like this:

ls -l

2340864 2008-02-29 02:33 boot.img
[Desire Android Development] :
Yeah, Sense's camera is really good. It's like a mini DSLR, with all the settings :D
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
...as I first posted here at the start of the week :p
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
I flashed with g and the latest Radio at about 12 oclock

i had 78% battery

Its 3:30 now and i have 64% battery

This is with Wifi Disabled, but the phone has taken a beaten

as i restored all my Apps, Content, Synced, Setup all Home Screens with Widgets and Email Accounts,Toggles and Twitter widgets

Cleaned Mail accounts, Downloaded and installed Apps,

Uninstalled some rubish,

Added some extra Mods Like Super round battery

and a some internet browsing, all this in 3 hours and only to lose just over 10% of the battery leaves me happy :-)

And thats with the screen displaying for 2 hours 10 minutes,

and the rest of the time sleep,

Nice work :-)
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
I been meaning to ask for a while... what exactly is in the Radio files? Does it contain the HTC hardware driver files etc?
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
with 2.0g and the newest radio my wifi did not disconnect, when my desire is in sleep mode. All other versions of defrost it ignored the setting in the wifi policy, set to "Never" and disconnecting WiFi, when in sleep-mode.

I dont know if its related to 2.0g or the new radio, or if its a "random bugfix", but now your rom is quite perfect for me!

Maybe anyone can confirm this?
[Desire Android Development] Homer314:
Hi, can i apply an 2.0g Undevolt kernel update on 2.0g Stock ? And generally, how can i apply kernel updates ?

Thank's :)
[Desire Android Development] matpil:
Hi!

I'll install DeFrost...

but i see that the updates are frequently.

Is there a "bug list" to solve or it are all "news features" (and some bug fix :p)?

If I can... I'd like to suggest to insert in the first post a section about the "open problems" (after changelog?).

It could be also easier to find information in this thread ;)

regard,

matpil
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Can you add a note about this to the OP?

In fact one about needing to allow the new ROM to boot before flashing the black status bar would be helpful too.

Tried new radio; can't see any difference on O2 in the UK. Will see if it improves any when I get home, my house is hell for signal (too many steel RSJs!) and with the previous radios it's struggled to maintain signal through a voice call.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I think it's the newer radio that fixed it.
[Desire Android Development] TAM1m:
I can't confirm!

Installed new Radio + 2.0g + 2.0f OCUV(1,2ghz) kernel and wifi keeps dropping in standby...
[Desire Android Development] Myah:
Bad Bad Battery fix.

I finally figured out how to fix the huge battery drain that everyone has been ignoring. also wifi fix that also has yet to be fixed. I just installed DJ Droid that is the Froyo with Sense working. That rom is fcking awesome. Not only did I only get a 4 or 5 percent drain while I slept compared to the 30 percent I was getting. But I had left everything turned on all night. And I got sense ui working perfectly. 720p recording and touch focus. Everything is working perfect. Such a huge difference then defrost that started out nice but got worse and worse. Now I love my Desire again.
[Desire Android Development] failers:
13h 42 min since unplugged 3g and auto sync to facebook email turned on whole time and been browsing internet from time to time and im on 73% but if i use wifi at home instead of 3g i go down to 70% in about 1 - 2 hours with just having auto sync running

defrost 2.0f
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
So can I just install 2.0g over the top of 2.0f?
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
No.. wifi is not working when goes to sleep..
[Desire Android Development] ileoa:
is there a chance to get your version with arabic fonts?

If yes? it will be the best rom for my desire
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you set the "never sleep" policy?
[Desire Android Development] Kalashnikitty:
installed new Radio.. so wait 30 minutes and wait for wifi disc.

Edit: After 20 Minutes.. Disconnect :(
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Okay so I charged to 100% at 11:20am this morning, it's now 6:36pm:

(ignore the last unplugged bitas I have been flashing mods throughout the day since 11am)

^ That's got 59% left on Defrost 2.0g when Richard posted the test version earlier. I think this is pretty good considering I have used GPS, watched Youtube, browsed some sites and flashed other files after chrome2phoning (which OWNS!) from my browser. ALl while Wifi connected too btw (except satnav).

I did update the newer radio too btw so I don't know if it's the rdaio update or 2.0g that has improved battery over 2.0f.
[Desire Android Development] danbst:
Nothing at all to do with Richards sterling work but new Radio has weaker reception for me. Phone sat exactly same place on the desk, with old radio full 4 bars. Immediately after flashing down to 2. May have to revert.

Elsewhere, Defrost app still then only thing I can find wrong.

Marvellous.
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
and when doing this pressing "Menu" and then "Save". If you did not "Save" then change the setting then Menu+"save", after that reset to "Never" and do a Menu+"save" again. Otherwhile the setting is showd as "Never" but it isnt activated.
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Where can I find "never sleep policy" option on my phone please ? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] popyett:
Noob question : Do I have to do a full wipe before upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0g ?

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
wi-fi settings>menu>advanced>wi-fi sleep policy
[Desire Android Development] DashingGentleman:
What a silly bit of non-standard UI design, isn't it? Android doesn't have such a hidden setting change confirmation anywhere else. A popup asking whether to save or discard changes would have been so much better...
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Many thanks! ;)
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
did you wipe when you flashed? did you apply any of the uv/uvoc updates? just curious because i flashed 2.0g w/o wiping and flashed the uvoc1267 update and my battery life isn't anywhere near as good as yours
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
No no wipe done, it appears the UV/OC kernels corrupt my SD card randomly (seems to be related to Gallery3D as Windows complains the Gallery3D cache dir is corrupted and has been repaired each time so now I just use stock kernel.

The only time I wiped was when I partitioned my SD a while back.
[Desire Android Development] sion_c:
Black status bar

Love the roms get better with every release but have found a bug in latest 2.0g the black status bar puts bootloop when trying to install with the new radio flashed. Can you fix this because i like the look of the black bar.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] sion_c:
Love the roms get better with every release but have found a bug in latest 2.0g and new radio install the black status bar puts bootloop when trying to install with the new radio flashed. If you can fix this because i like the look of the black bar. Would be g8 know u a busy guy but thought you would like to know.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Sorry this wasn't clear:

Before flashing the Black statusbar you have to boot the full rom 1 time
[Desire Android Development] TAM1m:
Yes, "never sleep" is set...

Edit: ... and saved!!!

Edit2:

Just for information my MAC also starts with 38:E7

It seems people with a MAC other than this don't have this wifi issues

Edit3: :D

I tested something more and found wifi stays active when phone is in wifi tether mode.

My notebook stays connected even when my phone is sleeping
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Do you have to? I did it without booting, and then applied the Super Charging MOD straight after... and have noticed no ill effects.
[Desire Android Development] saifiraq:
i wisshhhhhhh this rom would have 720p recording.... i realllyyyyyy dont wana go to another rom.... this rom is perfect..... cant c anything wrong with it.... just missing 720p recording :D
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
i have a theory about the fact that some persons has (or have??) massive batterydrain and others not.

question to persons WITHOUT battery drain: wich launcher did you use?
[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
so ive done some testing with this rom, and ive used up 2fully charged batteries in a day(power usage), maybe i should use SerCPU ?

and also when i reboot my phone no widgets get loaded in switcherPro(dunno if this is rom error or switcherpro error)
[Desire Android Development] TAM1m:
LauncherPro
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Launcherpro

My desire is at 50 percent after 11 hours of semi-heavy usage. Thats absolutely amazing. Befor i have to charge after this time. I use the uv-core without oc.
[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
did you use setCPU ?
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Yes, set cpu@615 max

Edited my post, its at 50 percent ;)
[Desire Android Development] thefox1102:
No battery drain. Using setcpu. Using launcherpro. Mac add starts with 00:..

Wifi drops when in standby!! Using never sleep og did save. Uses black statusbar.

Market fast after reboot. Slows down after a day or two.

Did full wipe before update. Use 12xx oc kernel. Let froyo install everything from scratch.

Lindroid max is 44+.

Great rom. Thx richardtrip.
[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
ok just setup my setcpu, 1 more battery left to fry :) (I have 3) also saw a new thread regarding official sense rom... hmmm might check that out too

anyone else have problem with widgets on reboot ?
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Problems with widgeta only with froyos app2sd and forced setlocation. But i use a ext3 partition and do not use froyos ap2sd anymore. So i have no problems with widgets.
[Desire Android Development] ganjamu:
Market app takes really long to load pages on 3g or Wi-Fi.
[Desire Android Development] :
does 3g work with the new g rom? :)

that's what keeps me away from updating :p it didn't work on e :/

just running b now...
[Desire Android Development] blabla189:
Is it a feature to unlock the Display if u tap two times on optical trackpad? Is it possible to switch only the background lightning on. Like the Powerbutton is doing it?
[Desire Android Development] gizmoy2k:
Anyone having problems with appbrain?

The sync page is ok but no matter what I search for I always get 'no results'

Android market works fine, I'm on g which I just flashed over f, no other issues
[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
ahhh i had forced and placed LauncherPro on sd card...
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Im on "H" network at the moment with 2. 0g and this new radio
[Desire Android Development] hybridnotts:
Upgraded to g and my auto rotate has stopped working. Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] raisinman:
Just started using this ROM. Has anyone found a solution to getting the ability to share videos via Youtube back?

It was in the stock ROM.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Press the optical trackpad once and that should keep the phone still locked...
[Desire Android Development] weirdNumber:
I just noticed that option was missing, goes together with the option to upload directly to picasa from the gallery.
[Desire Android Development] finnschi:
In my case display is eating up 80% of my battery that does not seem right?
[Desire Android Development] deepdarkspirit:
2.0g with the new radio rom seems to be really fast! 42+ linpack 1678 Quadrant, Asphalt runs nearly perfect with just a few frame drops.

Scrolling is lovely, WiFi signal is improved greatly! I used to get 1 bar WiFi signal while laptop was getting 5 and my old polaris used to get more I have a 7dB gain antenna on my router, now I'm getting full signal with the new radio and ROM.

I haven't bumped into any bugs as of yet. Battery life seems to be alot better too even though the monitor says the screen is taking 89%. probbably 89% of the 1% of battery life it has taken :p

If I had the money I'd buy you a coffee :D

Many Thanks

:)
[Desire Android Development] davorb:
Once again richard, thanks for your excellent work.

The only issues I'm having with this rom is really that the new radio is using more power than the old one (as reported in the radios thread) and that the defrost setup application is still FCing every time I press something.

Other than that, excellent rom!
[Desire Android Development] sruon:
I'm confused lol

Either way, all you need to do is go to your router settings and set an IP for your phone by just setting the MAC adress (which you can find in your phone stock parameters)
[Desire Android Development] :
so in essence do a static ip to mac config;)
[Desire Android Development] Jakka:
Great ROM, though there's a bug which causes the LED to become stuck when I get a notification. The only way to get it unstuck it seems is to shut down the phone and turn it back on. I know it's nothing major, but it's kind of really annoying me, so is there any way to fix it?
[Desire Android Development] :
This still does not fix;( My phone is totally not being recgonised by the router and is therefore not connected to my internal network, but is getting the internet through wifi, this is very strange..

I am a network engineer and the basis of all internet is that you have an ip address to connect.. no ip address no internet, so its weird!!!
[Desire Android Development] sruon:
That's some terrible luck... my D-link router accepted my MAC to IP directly.
[Desire Android Development] StuMcBill:
I just discovered Spotify Remote because of this post!!

Its great! :D
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Of course I need an internal address IP for that, the phone is connected fine to the WiFi network ^^.

StuMcBill : Yeah, I love it ^^
[Desire Android Development] :
you dont need an internal address like what i need it for;) i need an internal address to network two computers together, ie the phone to my pc... they must both be on the same private address subnet.. You need just an address to connect to the internet. What i think is happening is that the phone is not getting a private address, i think its just accessing the public address to gain the internet, but thus making it invisible to the internal network. If you can ping your phone suron from your pc then you have it working, but my best guess is that wont work;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] :
Ahhh i see spotify has you download a server, that could make the difference, as webshare and remote itunes does not have a dedicated server, hmmmm...
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
I suggest u to go to market, search for WIFI STATIC (from 3g of course while wifi is off), then run it once it is installed. Then turn on wifi and input ur password. I tried to use the static IP came with the OS but it failed to do so when I have a DHCP network. Only after installing wifi static, it automatically set up the setting for me.
[Desire Android Development] :
I have just downloaded an ip info app and it says my phone has an internal address of 192.168.1.3, so this now has me completly stumped....
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
last but not least

Let's put some colors into this post, now almost everything is working for me...

Beautiful Widgets + Beautiful Live Weather + Launcher Pro
[Desire Android Development] asci:
In process manager appears to run Amazone Mp3 app, but it isn't liste in app menu...very strange!
[Desire Android Development] asci:
Did you check if native a2sd is still working on your device? Try to reboot it and check if your apps installed on SD are still listed in app menu. I had weird behaviour with it installed...but I can't say if it was related to Launcher Pro. I also made a test by installing an app in main mem and I could see it, than I moved it on SD, I restarted device, and, even if it was listed as installed on sd, it was not avalable in app menu'...
[Desire Android Development] deovferreira:
Guys, here's how to fix the autofocus in your rom.

This is crosspoted on the threads DeFroST rom, ahmgsk's rom and private messages to both, so it can reach users.

Note: This is for developers only, regular users will have to wait for a build with this changes.

Somewhere in the mainline android tree they changed the focus parameters for the camera, I backported that driver (actually, no changes where needed, it just worked) and can now use autofocus just fine.

There is still an issue with the flashlight timing, I will work on that afterwards, but probably it will be a similar backport.

Please find the patch for the bravo kernel that includes this fix here: http://crop.floodbit.org/~defer/desire_camera_fix.patch

Hope you find this useful.
[Desire Android Development] sruon:
My phone don't ping but it doesn't give dropped packet either, because I don't think Android has the tools to answer a ping

OSMonitor shows the correct IP though, 192.168.0.107 which is exactly what I set on my router.
[Desire Android Development] abc27:
On what file is this to be patched on?
[Desire Android Development] deovferreira:
That information is on the patchfile, if you look at the header kernel_bravo_54b7033a/drivers/media/video/msm/s5k3e2fx.c
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Great news!
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Re: [ROM-FroYo] DeFroST 0.4 Desire Froyo (ocuv, CFQ, BlueTooth + APPS2SD working).

Thanks a lot. Look into it later this evening.
[Desire Android Development] ganjamu:
Thanks for he great rom,really loving it!

Problems:

-Market has become extremely slow

-Appbrain doesn't work properly, not syncing and can't search

-Connect-to-pc missing from settings

-Rapid battery lose, battery went from 91% to 83% in 20 min while locked doing nothing and all background tasks killed.

-Wifi still sleeps even though I set it to "never"

Running Defrost 2.0g Full Rom.
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Updated to 2.0g, only problem seems to be the immense battery drain. When sleeping was 9% in 7hours then in 5minutes of web browsing I lost 15% battery. :confused: Far more than before on 2.0c build.

Using launcherPro, did have setcpu at stock settings for generall usage, limit cpu at min when screen off. Now limited it to 50% for general use and will see how it goes through the day.
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Running on DeFroST 2.0g and luckily I'm not experiencing the battery drain issues like some of you are.

I was wondering however if it would be possible to add languages to the rom ourselves. I would really like to have the Dutch localization in place but I understand that it is not possible to include every language in the ROM.

Are there any options?
[Desire Android Development] Z1CkY:
tonight i put my desire in airplain mode with 89% of battery

this morning the smartphone dont switch on :eek:

i have removed battery and desire go on

but battery now is 41 %

i use defrost 2.0g with latest radio :confused:
[Desire Android Development] duryard:
Ok bit of a noobie question.

Should I Upgrade the radio first or the rom.

Or dont it matter which way round

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Yup battery drain is defnitely better for me. I did a long test yesterday, unplugged @ 100% last night at 12:20am and checked this morning when I got into work. It's worth noting that I did watch some The Onion videos in the bath this morning and browse emails and stuff while doing the morning poop (what, TMI?! deal with it!)

Anyways, here's the lowdown:

^ @ 79%, the Display % was at like 15 before I started using it in the morning so I think there still is a display power usage issue and once this is resolved in stock based FroYo ROMs the I should be able to see even better battery life :p

I estimate I should be able to go the rest of the day at work without having to charge the phone but I do have the USB cable ready just in case!

Again, I had wifi on (sleep policy set to never when USB connected), HSDPA enabled, normal running so no other tweaks.

All I have done is installed the last Radio release Richard posted about (the one with the unknown changes IIRC).
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
which radio did you use? the udk leaked radio or the newest one?
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Not the udK one, the newest one that Mr Trip posted earlier in this thread!

My baseband version is: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
thanks! gonna try that one.
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Damn, today after sleeping some hours the WiFi was disconnected. So there is still the Problem, that the policy is ignored.

Also with newest Radio and Defrost 2.0g
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
Comfirmed here too :(
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
Do you set the Display Brightness to a fixed level? Some pages earlier some Users find out, that Automatic Brightness Level is a real Battery-Killer, it uses more Battery than highest Brightness Level.

This should be added to the description of the ROM or to "Known Bugs"
[Desire Android Development] matyi7700:
possible bug on screen rotation

23333333333333333333
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Yep, never used automatic brightness.
[Desire Android Development] originof:
I have the 2.0g and for upgrade to 2.0f I need to wipe? or just flash ?
[Desire Android Development] ffoo3d:
What about FM Radio app and 720p camera recording?

Paul@Modaco provide it now with/without Sense UI.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Also confirming it. Several minutes and it's disconnected.

Sometimes it doesn't even reconnect. I need to go to WiFi-Settings, there it says next to my network "Deactivated". I have to activate it manually... :confused:

Otherwise, the ROM works great. Battery is SUPERB! Unplugged yesterday morning and it's at 70% now (1 day, 1 night).
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Wow, can I ask what launcher/wallpaper/any setcpu settings you use, is that with apn or wifi use?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
With Sense there should be no problem (original htc kernel). but without sense..... point me to it.
[Desire Android Development] Giland:
2.0g is the newest version so you will be downgrading if you flash 2.0f.

But a wipe isn't needed.
[Desire Android Development] foner78:
I updated the radio and the ROM last night (ROM from e to g). The radio seems to have improved my reception slightly and I think my battery use has improved, however my phone's performace is visibly worse. The homescreen is less responsive, scrolling is stuttery and app's generally "feel" slower.

To check this I ran quadrant and my score was just over 1000, around 200 points lower than I was getting on e.

In all cases I've been running the "normal" kernel, not UV/OC.
[Desire Android Development] jchusted:
Heelp

This one works fantastic for me..

I have two problems with this rom.

1. Can I get danish XT9 on this rom ?

2. I can't go on the internet with this one rom, the phone says i have no internet connection. I have installed the latest radio for it. Could that be the problem ?

Any solutions please :)
