I am experiencing 18% drop in battery on 3G within an hour. Horrifying..
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
hungrysquid

I agree in a way

But now i have my Colours setup just the way i want them,

Now i can Export the XML Colour file and save it,

And when i reflash i can import the XML file to be the same,

Very quick and easy,

I just wanted to make a quick Comment on the Battery :-)

Its Been Over 48 Hours now, and i have been using the phone a fair amount,

I have left the Wifi on,

I have my Twitter and Email Client running at all times,

I have been playing games and browsing the net, Install Apps and well abusing the phone,

I have been able to get more than 48 Hours out of the Phone,

my Battery life at the moment is: %20

Am well impressed

Thanks Rich, best Rom yet!!!!!

[Desire Android Development] jeditidus:
The graphics in this rom somewhat off. The quality/colours of 3d objects varies when compared to opendesire. Is Defrost missing something?
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
I have 3 bugs.

Edit the custom brightness settings end with FC.

Auto Brightness dont work.

location network not working.

but i can not see any solution here...

no chance for fix ?
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
No such bugs here.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
I am not alone with this problem...

but Richard leave us alone with this! :confused:
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
Have the exact same problems.

@ Richard:

Any chance for a fix without a wipe?!

Has for the rest, using this rom since the early releases and i must say it's nearly perfect.

Battery life is superb - compared to the intial ones /stock one.

REALLY nice work!!
[Desire Android Development] sutepm:
Mine is fine, try wiping?
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Yes I always do a full wipe before installing new ROMs, saves me from most of the bugs.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
wiping is allways the

last

option...

...reinstall all apps and reinput all the configurations for all the apps...

WOW 2 Hours per day for wiping and reinstalling??? for one update from 3.0 to 3.0x???

No this ist not the right way...not for productive use...sorry
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Posting in the wrong thread :-)

1305Mhz @1300mV

If thats not stable then use 1267 or lower.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Never, please wipe to solve your problems.
[Desire Android Development] yazooo:
I've just updated to this version after factory reset, wipe cache etc, and updated to latest radio and now I can't install any apps from the market. They just hang while dowloading. This is over wifi.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Wiping, installing and backing up with Titanium takes me no more than 20-30mins!
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
With titanium it is done in a couple of minutes. You have to be selective with what you restore (no system settings)
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
And if that doesn't work, use the "User Interface->Tweaks Extras->Export colors to XML" option, followed by "Reset UI tweaks to default". Then reboot. That made the bar come up black for me, after which I used "Import colors from XML" and everything was as I'd hoped it would be.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
Can i do the same with nandroid?

Restore all data (without system) ?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I don't trust titanium any more - ever since it made my 2.4 (?) completely unstable I wipe and reinstall everything from scratch.

I take it as a good way of clearing out the apps I don't really want. If I've installed something since the last version but I don't care enough to remember to install it from the market on boot then I obviously didn't need it :)
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
i use My Backup Pro,

Works perfect,

I can Backup Everything in a couple of minutes,

and i can restore it all again on a Clean install in a couple of seconds,
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
1. Nandroid is a snapshot. You cannot pick and choose what you restore. It restores the whole phone as it was.

2. I dont trust titanium either.

3> Mybackup seems pretty decent.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
Why???

under nandroid (Adv. Options) i can restore parts of the backup...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Mybackup Pro restored my exchange appointments in to google calendar.. was not funny. Sent reminders through everyone :(
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
people dont trust titanium?

You are rooting your phone, flashing custom roms, you should at least be slightly technically capable.

Make sure you DO NOT restore system processes in titanium. This will always cause issues. Go through the list and unselect these processes, it takes max 5 mins. Then let titanium do a 1 click restore of everything else. Its the simplest thing in the world.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yep, I'm a Systems Support technician.

I'm sure I've mentioned to you on android forums that I find it doesn't always restore as much as I would like. I wouldn't trust it with being my sole source of my data backup..

@Daviddarmon - maybe you can then - hadn't seen that option. I suppose that would explain why teh backup is in multiple files rather than a single image.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
I am technically capable. I have 15 years' working in IT (10 of them in telecomms-related industry) after I completed my degree in computer science at one of the top 5 courses in the country at the time.

In my experience Titanium wasn't capable of restoring system data; it wasn't capable of restoring SMSes and it wasn't capable of restoring call logs. That means I have to find alternatives. Given that I've got alternatives for SMS and calls the only other thing I would use titanium for is restoring apps. The risk of using software I know to have broken catastrophically at least once, over the downside of going into Market and downloading a few apps, is just not worth it for me, especially when (when it works, which seems to be only about half the time *lol*) they get downloaded automatically when I sign into my google account anyway.

Redownloading apps doesn't take much more than the 5 minutes you talked about anyway - the thing that takes the time is restoring the system settings which you happily seem to have dismissed as irrelevant.

The real problem I have - and the reason I won't trust it - is that it should _tell me_ that it can't restore the system settings, that it can't restore the SMSes, that it can't restore the call logs. What it categorically shouldn't do is blithely overwrite some settings somewhere and then tell me that everything will be fine. Titanium would probably work fine if you were restoring exactly the same version of the same ROM, which I guess is what it was designed for, but IMNSO there's almost no point using it in this case.
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
I tend to agree with Marsbar.

Titanium doesnt not restore what takes the most time to set up again and what matters.

That's the reason why i almost never wipe.

If the next update doesn't solve my network location problem i just will have to wipe and install everything again!:P
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I think if going into batch mode, there was a prompt asking is the backup was to be used on the same ROM or not, then depending on the answer, a different set of backups made, that would be great.
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
well i would always make multi backup from different sources as a rule anyway :p

I too only use it to restore apps and their data. redownloading apps takes a hell of a long time, if like me (and i have to assume the majority of people on xda) you have lots of apps. It works flawlessly doing what its meant to do, restoring application data. Not sure what you mean by system data though? SMS and call logs? You have already said you have alternatives for those so they are irrelevant.

don't install, use titanium!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah multiples definitely a good way to go.

SMS and call logs I use WaveSecure

I do use titanium still

Then of course nandroid.

I really liked the mybackup free trial (except for the mistake of backing up and restoring contacts I made). I may look deeper into it.
[Desire Android Development] jeditidus:
I guess with all the backup hoopla, my question got missed out :-(
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Is GPS working as its suppose to? Need to know because im leaving for a trip on friday and wanna know if I should update or not...
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Not by me: I just had no idea what you're talking about :(

Maybe you could give specific examples? Screen grabs, preferably :)
[Desire Android Development] BSAB:
Upgrated from 2.9 to 3.0b, no problems.

Installed Super Circle Battery and my network location was gone, so reflashed ROM and everything is back to normal.

Weird how flashing what should be an aesthetic upgrade can break location like that.
[Desire Android Development] jeditidus:
@marsbar basically if you run quadrant or nenamark on defrost rom, then do the same with opendesire, the colours/textures appear more colourful and clearer.

To me this seems down to something in defrost rom that might be missing.... GPU setting in kernel maybe?... I will try to post screenshots, just need to load OD rom first.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
Thanks for your Post - you are not alone with this...

I can not understand this too - aesthetic upgrade = break location...

With and without wiping !
[Desire Android Development] Dynanik:
Actually the fastet Rom for Desire...isn't it???
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
Going to try this out. It is indeed weird!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its the fastest I have used. Get 1787 Quadrant as my top score. Saw someone get 1790 on here.
[Desire Android Development] sultanbrunei:
Can anyone help me how to set setcpu for this rom ? please.. :(

I got only 6-7 hours of moderate-heavy use. I am going to speed down some cpu so at least I could get another 2-3 hours.
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
It worked!! O.O
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
And what do you have do?
[Desire Android Development] Nodders:
On an OC presumably?
[Desire Android Development] Dany0:
What? Get lost troll.
[Desire Android Development] Dynanik:
I'can confirm...got 1710 WITHOUT OC!!!! Wohoooooo =)
[Desire Android Development] Nodders:
Wow. How? Did you do anything special, or just load it up and go?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah 1305. Its stable.

Are you the same nodders from Androidforums?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
With this app you can set conditions or profiles that say "If battery less that 60% set CPU at 700Mhz" etc.

Also, in the defrost set up, you can instal Kernels with a higher Mhz and use set CPU to over clock the phone.

Which Kernel have you got currently, the standard 998Mhz?

Just set profiles for every 15 or 20% of battery.

Screen off 245Mhz Priority 100

Full / charging 998mHZ Priority 10

Battery < 80% 921Mhz Priority 20

Battery <60% 883Mhz Priority 30

Battery < 40% 844Mhz Priority 40

You get the idea?
[Desire Android Development] Dynanik:
Ending all active tasks before benchmark for some extra RAM...

Run the benchmark two-three times...the first bench don't show true results...

With 1.3Ghz OC I've got 1890 @ 3rd bench

AWESOME :D:D:D:D:D
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Seems like it works unless you install SuperCircle mod; however why not make do a nandroid backup and try it? The nature of these things does seem to be that some things work for some people and not for others, and at least then you'll know for sure if yours is working ok. If it doesn't the nandroid restore is pretty painless.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
This problem disappeared once I reinstalled with full wipe and didn't install any mods.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
But this can not be the solution.

I try with a full wipe and after the mod install the same problem.

Please Richard help us ... please

I dont want to a other ROM

I try today leedroid ... fine ROM but the 1305mhz power is to nice.

I have miss this and i am back.

But the bugs are very hard ...

Position and auto backlight!
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Please see a solution I posted to this exact problem, on sunday night.

Edit: or richards solution and many others. Always do a clean install to fix all bugs ;-)

[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
Thx for your post.

I go back to 3.0a

And update to 3.0b

Position and auto backlight are working

But if i reinstall a super circle mod

I lose my function of auto backlight and position without gps ... right?

No solution for us, Richard?

Thx

David Darmon
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
That's the idea, the super circle mod is not made by richard.

Did read some where on this thread that someone had said they had a super circle mod working, but I found the one on defrost setup with COLOUR icons was the cause of my problems.

[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
New versions uploaded (3.0b). Flash with DeFroST Setup. No more problems with back-light.

AB and DB version. For any info see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

Just tried doing what you said. even uninstalled apps that restart when killed. can't even beat my previous 1787, let alone get anywhere near that. :(

Mind you, not that I need it to be any faster.

[Desire Android Development] Daokrotz:
Everytime I restart my desire or mount the SD-card with USB cable all my widgets and program I installed are gone. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you set the background color to black?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
This is because youre using froyo a2sd. Widgets don't work ok when you install them on sd (you need to push them back to internal memory), and the program's are not usable as long as you mount the SD-card. If you unmount they are back (completely normal).
[Desire Android Development] Daokrotz:
Thing is, they arent coming back when I unmount.

The widgets I have on my screen turns black and some text "Could not read widget" (if I translate directly from swedish)

So I have to go back into Market, and uninstall and reinstall them, then do it all over to make them work again.

Coz If I don't uninstall and reinstall, It won't show up when I try to add widget.

I can see them in app launcher, but I cannot add them.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
Why can't I download apps from the market? It just says starting download, and then nothing happens. Have DeFroST 3b.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] StuRoid:
links to kernel

are there any links to download this kernel and flash it on another rom? done a search and can't seem to find it....or is this not possible?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Widgets you need to push to internal memory before you mount your sdcard to your computer or they will never come back. Please read the second post.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Not possible.
[Desire Android Development] daviddarmon:
Yes i have allready try this ... but no chance the picture text dont change ...???
[Desire Android Development] JCB_Digger:
Circle mod also broke the Wifi hotspot for me and took away many options in the Power Widget.

I reflashed with the Full Rom and left the aesthetics alone and everything's fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] golfy2161:
Confirmed. This is exactly what happened for me. I havent tried the circle mod again since the full wipe mind.
[Desire Android Development] Drillbit:

After every test!
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I have modified the framework myself for my Gefrost/BluFrost rom mods and i still have location working.

It's probably because the mods are not up to date they are using an old framework.
[Desire Android Development] InspectorFrost:
just installed the new battery mod in defrost setup...works well, but in all honesty i'd rather have colourful icons and a broken location rather than the plain icons !

anyone know where i can get maybe a .zip to get them back

best of all, preferably the ones with the standard shaped wifi indicator (the nice blue one) that used to bearound on the 2.9 vers of this rom

hope someone can help !!

Edit: bollocks to it, ive just restored from nandroid to get icons back but lost a couple of days worth of tinkering...oh well, at least it looks pretty again.

would still love the colour icons with the old style blue wifi indicator if anyone can post up a link.

Thoughts

Morning,

Just thought i post my thoughts: Am currently on DeFroST 3.0b and it is amazing. Very fast and stable.

Battery life is great, charged it to 100% yesterday @ 17:30pm and it is now(9:15am) on 60%. JuicePlotter is saying i have another 15 hours to go.

I used bluetooth to stream music to my motorbike helmet for about a hour on the journey to work.

Wifi was switched on for about 12 hours with data synchronizing at various intervals. E-mails are checked every 30mins.

The only issue i have is i don't seem to be able to connect to a GPS satellite. I have tried it directly via Navigation and Google Maps, but am still not able to connect. Anybody else having the same issue?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Did you install supercircle battery mod?
[Desire Android Development] jdearauj:
Yes, does this cause issues?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
If you read back about 4 or 5 pages yes. I believe there's a new version in DeFroST setup since yesterday that's meant to resolve it although Richard wasn't very clear on what was different.

This from http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/

8/25/2010 7:12 PM 2427869 DeFroST_3.0b_ABframework.zip

8/25/2010 7:12 PM 2571034 DeFroST_3.0b_DBframework.zip

When did you flash it? My guess is you'll have to reflash the rom then download the new version.
[Desire Android Development] jdearauj:
I did read that, but did not re-flash. So will try re-flashing now and see what happens.

Thanks for the prompt response.

no solution for a 30.b with working super circle c version?

[Desire Android Development] mattharris26:
You can change the colour of the bar in DeFroST/ CyanogenMod settings to a lighter colour so the black writing in the circle shows up. Changed mine to a darkish grey so the black percentage is readable against it.

I actually prefer the standard bar and icons (with percentage added however) then set to a nice musty-navy blue. Looks wicked with my custom Blue keyboard.
