Hi Richard,

Any reason why the 'wake using optical button' feature was removed? I find that button a lot better to operate than the power button. Even the back button was an improvement.
[Desire Android Development] toastyghost:
Haha, I know you can't please all of the people but I much preferred the AOSP auto-brightness settings!

Is there any way this could be made an option as part of the DeFroST Setup app? Perhaps have it generate an update.zip with custom or preset values to be flashed via recovery?
[Desire Android Development] alturismo:
also here, great thanks for the efforts for this ROM

2.4a running smooth here ;)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
2.4 kernels work fine on 2.4a. Blackbar wait for a mod.
[Desire Android Development] photek1000:
Only been on DefroST (and Rooted Since the weekend) 2.1 and flashed to 2.4 this morning.

I wasn't as happy with the outcome as I had been before, poor brightness mainly.

And two seconds later there it is 2.4a, Richard you are the man, love the work keep it up.

[Desire Android Development] ekowanz:
thx for the update sir
[Desire Android Development] poope:
:eek:

Wow! FM radio on Froyo! That would make my desire complete! Are there really no issues with the 800mV? And does it really improves battlife?

Thanks Richard also for the Dutch lingo, beer coming your way
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
If 800mV give you problems use the 925mV version.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks Judison, flashed already :-)
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Can the HAVS 800mV 2.4 kernel be used with 2.4a version? Or should we wait for a 2.4a update for the kernel?
[Desire Android Development] majczu:
The camera works fine. Unfortunately you can not shoot movies. Appears FC.
[Desire Android Development] roniez:
When using DeFrost 2.3 can i flash 2.4a with out whipeing?
[Desire Android Development] :
Upgraded to 2.4a with wipe data checked. Now I have 3 keyboards - one HTC mod, 2 Android keyboards. Is this problem unique to me?
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Same here :)
[Desire Android Development] majczu:
For me the same way. With the camera you have the same problem that you can not shoot video?
[Desire Android Development] Blinkiz:
Hi there

Am using Defrost 2.2 vid UV kernel. I can report that my standby time is 120 hours (5 days). I have push mail active with this setup so am always connected.

My normal usage time is around 15 hours reported my JuicePlotter. But I play a lot of games each day on the phone, so I understand why it's only 15 hours.
[Desire Android Development] 420p:
Already reported in the Bug Tracker, would be nice if you could confirm our problem there...
[Desire Android Development] Settembre Nero:
same here..
[Desire Android Development] majczu:

Camcorder works, battery percentage works, facebook does not sync, got 3 keyboards...
[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Can please someone tell me if i can "upgrade" from 2.3 to 2.4a or i need a wipe?
[Desire Android Development] Diange:
To use this rom do i need to first flash the radio or first flash the rom?
[Desire Android Development] majczu:
I make a full wipe 2 times. Don`t work :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you upgrade the radio?
[Desire Android Development] majczu:
I have radio: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08. This a new radio
[Desire Android Development] toastyghost:
Facebook sync is broken for me too, it seems you have the same issues that OpenDesire had originally, as viewing a contact lists multiple 'view Facebook' links and each of them takes me to my own profile.

Contact photos and status updates are not refreshing either.
[Desire Android Development] 420p:
Confirmed. Bug Tracker here we go!
[Desire Android Development] masherthemash:
+1 same problems here.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Updated to 2.4a and flashed the super battery mod for 2.3 which works great (and also solves the display showing as using high % battery which I know is a non issue but is a mind pleaser for me lol :p

Everything working nicely, I notice Youtube uploading is there now too and Facebook didn't replace the version I had installed already.

2.4a seems smoother around the belt than 2.3 as well and everything just works, Camcorder also works and quality is as good as before. Autobrightness is back to how it was in 2.3

Job well done man!

EIFFEL TOWER!

i am experiencing a bug with the gallery. when i pick a photo from a folder, after a couple of seconds the pic changes..eg. i have some photos on the root folder of my sd, but when i open it from the gallery, the photo turns into another photo of the camera folder.
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Thanks for that.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I had that as well yesterday. What I did was restart the phone and then when opening the gallery, I left it for a minute or so and allowed it to load all the thumbnails etc. The problem was solved after that :)
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
Getting absolutely the best battery life of every rom I've tried, 2.3 with fastest kernel, tweaked in setcpu. Nice work !

Facebook sync not working ? I so want to flash this rom, but will wait until facebook sync is fixed....
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
Is there a possibility to add DUTCH as OS language ? The rom has Ducth for the keyboard, but not for the OS ....
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
It has been implemented in the newest ROM.
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
I did not see it on 2.4a ? Where can it be changed ?

I only see:

Deutsch

English

Espanol

Francais

Italiano

Portugues

and 5 Ascii sign languages :)
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Did you install the right ROM? Nederlands has rly been available since 2.4. Scroll throught the list.

Looking at my menu right now and it's rly in dutch :)
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
I installed DeFroST 2.4a FRF91 Full Rom (HAVS max 998MHz 925mV)

this version shows also in ABOUT PHONE -> Build number (DeFroST 2.4a)

Donno what is the issue but facing 1st time.....

Anyone else too?????
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
Are you really really sure about flashing the full rom? Perhaps only flashed the kernel?
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
The battery life is not much better for me with 2.4a :(

I unplugged just after updating the ROM, did a Titanium restore and set up my widgets, and I am already on 90%. I am using the 800mV Kernel, so I thought it would have been a lot better!
[Desire Android Development] Gerald.W:
Go into settings, applications, all, facebook, and clear data. then sign in again and let it load. Often fixes problems with facebook.
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
Perhaps try the other Mv kernel Richard said 800mV coud result in trange errors.

My battery life is way way beter with this rom, i use 925mV

QUOTED from first post:

-What's the difference between 800mV vs 925mV?

Its the minimum amount of voltage that is feed into the CPU whenever possible. 800mV can potentially save you more battery power but some phones experience odd behavior like constant radio band switching, picture taking issues, and standby/sleep problems. Some phones just can't function normally with only 800mV. Try both and see which one is best for your phone.
[Desire Android Development] poope:
So the high % display usage i get with 2.4a is just a bug?
[Desire Android Development] Barm926:
wipe all and partition sdcard before flash :-)

after flash - touching android has no effect. :-(

what's wrong ?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Not a bug. see : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7273013&postcount=6819
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
nope, full rom for sure ...
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Using 925mV now... lets see how it goes :)
[Desire Android Development] Frown:
Just installed 2.4a (wiped everything). Also did the radio update. However it keeps hanging in the setup when after putting in my Google account and password when communicating with google. What could it be?

Did not format the SD however. Is that neccesary?
[Desire Android Development] imsochobo:
may be, try maybe formatting EXT/swap partitions.

you dont have it?

Then its not SD.

Mine didnt boot with another sd card in it, stuff on the EXT, not sure what gets stored there yet :P
[Desire Android Development] jdebunt85:
gonna give this rom a try, looks amazing :)
[Desire Android Development] acejacksooted:
yeah that's what I did with earlier versions, I'm going to try that whenI get to my PC,
[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
Just upgraded and can't find the youtube app now, just disappeared. Anyone got the apk?
[Desire Android Development] Galaad2:
Same thing for me. Google account won't connect....:confused:
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Try enabling background sync
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
It's possible that the ROM doesn't have the APN details for your carrier - press 'menu' when you're entering your details and check..
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Mine was also hanging when I tried signing into Google on first setup. I just restarted and skipped that part and then added my Google account through accounts & sync
[Desire Android Development] sonderschalter:
Had the same problem, moreover I had to put the battery out as the device did not react at all - however, after that everything was fine, and the account was set up as well already.
[Desire Android Development] webrosc:
Noobish question here, i've installed the 2.3 ROM (doing 2.4 later) if i want to change the kernal so the CPU uses less battery (looking at the 925mv kernal) do i need to flash that zip first, then reflash the main ROM? as they are different size files

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] sonderschalter:
I tried it with the blackbar for OD (framework-res-OD_v2.1_blackbar_color-signed) and it works without any issues.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
In just under 3 hours, I am down to 77% and in that time I have changed to the kernel with the slightly higher mV :(
[Desire Android Development] photek1000:
Had a strange one earlier, uninstalled an app via the Market, the phone auto rebooted and got stuck on the Nexus X splash screen, had to pull the battery.

Not a biggy, and working fine, but odd none the less.

Running 2.4a Main option no extras.
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
Nope, other way round - flash the full ROM first, then the Kernel (which overwrites the full ROM 'standard' kernel)
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
No one to help me here :(
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
How do I disable the camera sounds?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
There's something not right with my bluetooth file receiving. Sending files with bluetooth is working as it should.

When trying to send files to my desire, it only shows me a connection faillure. I've tested it with a couple of phones and some pc's/laptops, all getting the same error.

What i do is putting bluetooth on and make the device discoverable.
[Desire Android Development] gergohad:
First off, thanks for a great ROM Rich, beer on its way.

Secondly, I'm pretty new at this stuff and maybe that's why the following is impossible for me to understand:

We're all using exactly same phone, with exactly the same hardware (or am I wrong?). Yet people using the same kernel (whatever that is), the same radio (whatever THAT is), and the same version of the ROM (I know what that is!) are reporting completely different battery drainage.

Some people are saying 3 days+ is no problem, some (like me) barely last 1 day with any of the versions. Even if I use absolutely no battery draining stuff, black and static background, and juice defender, I still wouldn't even come close to 3 days. How is this possible?

Also, how is it possible that the 800hz kernel messes up some phones but not others? Does this depend on the apps/settings people use?

Finally, how can I check whether the 800hz kernel actually got flashed or not?

Thanks for reading, this forum is great!
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Applications installed and running, sync settings, screen brightness and general usage amounts differ so much. I'm one of those that barely lasts half a day...on any rom at all. Even stock rom so i'm thinking some batteries are just crap!

3 days is an impossible dream for me.
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
hi guys what's the difference between 1 and 3?

both 2.4 HAVS 998mhz and 925mV?

do i need to flash number 3 if i flash the full rom?
[Desire Android Development] Z2k3:
The difference is that if you flashed 800mV and want to get back to 925mV, you only need to flask the kernel, no need to reflash the whole ROM.
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
oh, that explains it .... why didn't i think of that.

thanks.

Lag i 2.4a?

Unfortunately I'm not noticing any improvement in 2.4a over 2.3... and is it just me or is the new version more laggy? I'm getting regular lag when switching between homescreens! Anyone else???

Haven't had the chance to monitor battery usage yet so hopefully that's where all the improvement is.
[Desire Android Development] andy76q:
but the multilanguage support from aosp disappear when installing blackbar or battery %
[Desire Android Development] Roark2k:
Same problem here!

I also noticed that every 10 minutes or so I get disconnected from my home wifi network.. Wifi is still turned on but I have to go into Settings and connect to the network manually... Anyone else facing that problem? Or is it something that I can fix somewhere in my settings?
[Desire Android Development] emms007:
I had serious battery drain on 2.3, my phone would last from 9am to 5pm, not more;

I kept the 2.3 ROM and installed the 2.0f kernel instead. This works as I am back with good battery life. Intead of an empty around 5pm, I have 50% left.

As seen on the attached screenshot, CPU activity is constant for the 2.3 kernel (average 30%). using 2.0f, I'd say that this average goes down to 3%.

Richard, do you have any detail of modified code between the two kernel versions ? I could use 2.0f on a daily basis, but since it's not complied with your framework, my Wifi does not work;

I am pretty sure something is wrong; It's always related to the Suspend process going crazy. All users could benefit from a fix to that solution.
[Desire Android Development] Dave Hagenaars:
Richard

Maybe i didn't notice it before, but in 2.4a i can select both dutch and english for keyboard language. I can change it on the fly using the spacebar. Works great... BUT when typing in Dutch i dont get any suggestions of spelling correction. Is that a bug of DeFrost, Android or me? :P
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
I used 2.3 for more than a day and never seen the suspend process going crazy and have good battery life so i can't comment on this :-(
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
What App is that?
[Desire Android Development] Arg0t:
Can confirm the WiFi issue, it connects gets an IP stays up for a while then the WiFi switches off for about 10 seconds then restarts and goes through the IP handshake. Does this a few times and then works normally for a while.

2.4a dirty upgrade from 2.3.
[Desire Android Development] ernell:
Same here. Very annoying since I use the google backup for restoring all apps and settings. I'm going back to earlier version.

Maybe someone knows how to start the restore manually???
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
SystemPanel App / TaskManager (NextApp, Inc.)
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
Bad problems with 2.4a, could Not Register to my Googleaccount at the starting sequence,...

So flashed back to 2.3

Anyone else with such a Problem?

[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Are all your apps supposed to download back onto your phone after you done a clean install? I'm confused about the back up your data then the restore your apps in settings.

Because it clearly doesent work :(
[Desire Android Development] jdebunt85:
i always make a seperate backup through astro file manager to SD to make sure :)
[Desire Android Development] Captaine74:

[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Use Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps :-)

How did you install Titanium Backup on your desire?
[Desire Android Development] jdebunt85:
you have to root the desire first if you havent done so yet :)
[Desire Android Development] c0ke:
I have the problem with 2.4a that it doesnt work to sync my contacts for facebook etc. When it has been synced done it has only add facebook link/shortcut to my facebook home.

Like: Contacta > Robert > There i press for the Facebook button, then it only reload my home on facebook and not the user itself.

Great ROM tho! keep it up!
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Apply the 0.4 full rom first (do a wipe), with the same method you used to root your phone, then use the 0.5 update without wiping ;)

Hmm,

when i open it (wlan connected) it opens and closes instantly while loading htc page... i don't know why... do i have to wipe or something?

(btw applied 0.5 :) )

Try to apply 0.2 (wiping), then 0.4 without, and 0.5 without wiping too.

I've seend someone saying in last pages to flash 0.2 before ..

Installed 0.4 prevously, then wiped,

then applied 0.5 and now it works perfektly :D

[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
0.5 is an update, if you wipe before apply it, it might don't work, am I wrong ?
[Desire Android Development] oawalker:
Yea it won't work properly first wipe then flash 0.4 then flash 0.5
[Desire Android Development] chillar:
one question: wiping all the time will reset all your prefs and programs and widgets and everything you configured, right? so isnt it annoying to flash it all the time and then to readjust the whole OS?
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
Yeah but when you update you don't have to wipe ;-)

Any chance of a version without:

* Facebook

* Google Goggles

* Twitter

Then I'm just waiting for the notification LED to be fixed, and I'll use this ROM fully.
[Desire Android Development] martinlong78:
This kind of thing is pretty easy to do yourself. People (esp Richard) are working on getting all of the desire hardware working. You can take any of the builds he produces and strip out or add in apps. There's a recently updated post in this forum which explains how to change and sign a ROM.
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
I have a problem with this ROM, it seems like there is a lot of background noise when making phone calls, I can't hear it but the one i am talking to says it's annoying.

I have tested this by calling many people and they all say the same thing.

It's like the the noise-mod has enhanced the background noise but the sound when talking is still normal.

I have had this problem since flashing 0.4 and thought it will get better when flashing 0.5 update but it didn't.

Am I the only one experiencing this problem ?

I know i have posted this a while ago but this is in details.

richardtrip again thanks for a great ROM, just hope you have a solution for my tiny problem :)
[Desire Android Development] kevinlow:
just one question before i flash this rom..can i install the friendstream.apk which i copy from my current rooted rom?? very tempted to flash this rom.

many thanks for the good work.
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
No i am sorry but i don't think you can install friendstream it's an HTC app and they only work in Sense.

many thanks for the information. sad news.
[Desire Android Development] mr_dinosaur:
How's the camcorder?

Did a search on this thread for camcorder and it looks like I'm the only one to bring it up. Can someone on version 0.5 confirm if the camcorder works ok?

I'd greatly appreciate it.

Edit: Nevermind, I changed my search string to "video" and found out it still doesn't work. LOL

SetCPU

Hi

Been following this forum and android forum for months now and have finally rooted my phone this morning to DeFroST 2.4 HAVS max 998MHz 800mV (max 998MHz) .

Its working perfectly, so thank you very much, was a little nervous.

Can anyone tell me if I should be running SetCPU as well and if so, what settings should I be loading into this.

I'm looking to extend my battery life as much as possible.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
