All is working fine here. FB sync, XDA and good battery life (no overclock). Please wipe and test again.
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
That's just something I would've checked.
[Desire Android Development] judison:
this happens with english too :P

Also I'm having some issues with eclipse, can't see logcat, sometimes I get a message saying that the device refused connection etc...
[Desire Android Development] judison:
Battery drain and strange errors in logcat

Today my battery reached 30% around 13:00 it uses to get at 30% around 22:30 or 23:00...

I get my processor almost always at full CPU speed...

when I "adb logcat" I get a lot of exceptions from android.process.acore

PID 396 is android.process.acore

anyone else have these exceptions? this happens all that is in this txt every ~ 1 minute.

thanks...
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Are you surprised your battery didn't last long if you're keeping your processor running at 'nearly full speed' all the time?
[Desire Android Development] popyett:
flashed full ROM 1.8, light sensor still doesn't work

(already had this problem when i had tried 0.3 weeks ago before reverting to 2.1)

it really is troublesome especially when calling : can't do anything 'till the interlocutor hangs up.
[Desire Android Development] judison:
Superuser exceptions

Another thing I could see in logcat is that every time an app tries to "su"

superuser get an exception

E/Cursor ( 5085): Finalizing a Cursor that has not been deactivated or closed. database = /data/data/com.noshufou.android.su/databases/permissions.sqlite, table = permissions, query = SELECT _id, allow FROM permissions WHERE from_uid=? AND exec_uid=? AND exec_command=?

E/Cursor ( 5085): android.database.sqlite.DatabaseObjectNotClosedException: Application did not close the cursor or database object that was opened here

tried to clear the superuser cache and data but it's not a db error, but a program error...

probably an "Superuser Permissions" fault... there's an update for it? where I can report it correctly??

PS: This does not affect DeFroST ROM users in any way as it continues to work, and as it happens only when an app requests super user access, it did not contributes to battery drain!!!
[Desire Android Development] judison:
Sorry my bad english...

CPU use is almost 100%...

because some process is using it all the time...

the scaling is set to on demand min 254 max 988 as always

the normal CPU usage is usually between 0% and 5%

Having troubles with market again after update. Downloading appsbut hangs on installation. Anyone know why?
[Desire Android Development] judison:
Small LED App

If you have LED issues (ie: have to turn it off sometimes), you may want to use this small app.

I used the GScript solution provided here before, but now I made a small app for it.

It reports the status of the red, green and blue colors, and allows you to change then.

FYI it sets brightness = 255 and blink = 0 to enable, and brightness = 0 to disable.

If it does not work tell me by PM, or judison at gmail.

If you still have led issues and use this app, please notify it in this thread so Richard can work on it; If you don't, consider donating to Richard!!!
[Desire Android Development] Mickea:
Thanks the good now Judison.

Is anyone experiencing issues with missing widgets? For example yesterday I installed the sky news app, and had the widget running. For some reason the widget has now disappeared, and isn't now in the choice of widgets.
[Desire Android Development] alienwolf426:
Is there any fix for the battery drain issues .

I've checked under battery stats and 'Android OS' is taking up more than 50% of battery .. which doesn't seem normal imo.

the problems with battery started with 1.7 i think.

Please look into this, richard

Signature error with defrost 1.8

I was on defrost 1.7.

I'm using ROM MANAGER.

The first time i try to install defrost1.8 , the system tell me : wrong signature.

I've downloaded it again .

I've rename it update.zip for use with my recovery "appli update.zip" (I've not another choice in my recovery).

And it's the same thing error signature...install aborted.

Now i'm coming back to my defrost 1.7.

Anybody has this problem ?

Thanks for your replies.

:)

Downloaded again and installed with ROM MANAGER...It works fine !

Thanks for the team, Good Job !

Battery Percentage MOD

Hi all :P

I have made a Battery Percentage MOD that shows percentage of battery in the normal battery icon...

Don't know if there is already something like this, this one is based on DeFroST 1.8 don't know if it will work in other ROM's or versions.

* The % is in small white letters (maybe black is better when its near 100%)

* 0% to 4% is all red

* The green(or orange) bar is not 1% stepped, using the sizes of original icons

If someone want to contribute with better icons (using same "theme"), I can update it... or give some help for you to make your own MOD :D

Hope you all like it!!
[Desire Android Development] tron13:
Yes, i have the same issue...

You have to Move this applicatios (that use the widgets) to phone memory, because if you connect your desire as hard disk, you will miss the widgets, and you must install the applications again!!!
[Desire Android Development] nesquix:
Can someone just post the update.zip for the Youtube graphical fix ?

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Is the install of that a simple flash in recovery like with a rom?
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
Splendid stuff! :D

I tried to do a shell script with conditional on/off switches, but the shell always reported error in the script, although I could run it fine on my ubuntu box :/
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
I wonder if you could post the no-oc/no-uv kernel as a separate update zip?

I, by bad habit, installed the UVOC kernel and I might have a problem with lag/stability.

For the ones who does not have a working blackbar on DeFrost, i just patch this one, and it works.

It is the one with the circle batttery indicator, but without the %sign in the middle. Dev is working on a update to get the % working as well.

Just to be sure, make a nan backup first.

hi, i have the same problem with facebook widget. after simple reboot i also cannot get the widget. the problem only solve when i uninstall and re install back the apps.
[Desire Android Development] hatton920:

[Desire Android Development] Psy-Blade:
Is the apps2sd included in this rom the default froyo one? Is the enable always option in spareparts just a hack to enable it for any app then?

All this phone/external app is confusing me and titanium backup... ok maybe just me.

I have an installed app which I can't move to SD, is this because I didn't enable the always external option at install time?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danbst:
Just posting to say a quick thanks to Richard.

I feel I'm as close to a stable reliable rom as I've had.

I don't seem to get any major issues as reported over the last few pages. Most are fixed as per the update log but I'll mention them again to reinforce.

Camocrder - Working Fine.

Youtube- Now fixed.

Wifi - Always locks on (icon shows in taskbar as well)

LED's - Don't stay on (if I use Android MMS app to check TXT's) and I have Blue in Handcent:D

Battery Life seems O.K - OS using around 3%, Wifi 4%, Cell standby 20%, Screen being the biggest drain @ 58%.. But then I do have it of full brightness so thats to be expected.

Facebook & GMAIL - sync just fine.

For me and as reported by everyone, the only remaining issue is the echo during calls. According to some it's barely there (I've turned in call volume down), others have to stand 6 ft away from their phone it's that bad. For this reason alone I'm tempted to do a backup of my phone in it's current state and maybe come back to this almost perfect rom if and when it ever gets fixed.

Well done to Richard and everyone else who's contributed along the way.
[Desire Android Development] azrudin99:
thank you.

installed it using rom manager

Anyone getting the orange led on after receiving an email, and only goes off after resetting the phone?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I have the same issue. After installing the led apk still no working led's. They automaticly turn off.
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
There are 2 App2SD in this ROM: If you have an ext partition, it will make use of that, you don't have to do anything and everything works fine.

Alternatively you can use the Froyo one, but this must be supported by the App itself.

There is a hack in spareparts to install ALL apps to SD, but you have to move widgets back to phone memory.

Therefore I would recommend using ext partition.
[Desire Android Development] kazuki1111:
Sorry, im newbie,

i would like to ask, do i need ext partition for this ROM?

Because right now i just rooted my stock HTC Desire and it is currently running 2.1 with 1.15 rom.

So if i would like to use this rom, can i just Fake-flash it?

or i need to partition my SD Card before using this?
[Desire Android Development] dancedreamfly:
If you want to use A2SD+, you need the ext partition. If you want to use the native FroYo A2SD, or no A2SD, there's no need to partition.

You can install the ROM using FakeFlash, but make sure you do a wipe before installing.
[Desire Android Development] kazuki1111:
Thx for the reply dancedreamfly =)

i dont quite understand about the wipe. Do you mind explain it more in details?

thank you.
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
I've identified the culprit with OS Monitor.

It's "Launcher" that goes nuts 15-45 seconds. Usually gives me a FC or Wait option. FC does not help, goes back to freeze for 15-45 secs.

Argh.

I'll reflash tonight to see if it helps. Weird.

Got this in the log, every five seconds.

GC_FOR_MALLOC freed xxxx (usually around 7000) objects / xxxxxx (usually 500000-700000) bytes in xx (10-90) ms.
[Desire Android Development] Psy-Blade:
Ok I think I've been messing it up then. I have an extra partition setup. But I've been using spare parts to set it to external. So I should set this to default and it will auto install to the card?

Sorry, getting a bit confused here doh.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes

set it to default.
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
To perform a clean install of this ROM, you should wipe your data before flashing. You can do this in recovery, but keep in mind that you lose all your data and apps, so do a backup first!
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
It only works for apps who supports it... I changed the option to external and place back the widget to phone after installing
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Old skool a2sd works for ALL apps.

As long as you have it on default and have a EXT partition then you dont need to do anything.

If he has selected external then he needs to see if he has apps installed onto his fat32 partition and if so then uninstall and then set to default and then reinstall. Doubt its a good idea to have apps on both FAT32 and EXT.
[Desire Android Development] hensk:
yep ,I notice that bug also

& I mean wersion 1.7 was more bagy
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
All right. We're two having the problem..

What apps have you installed? Done any restore of apps?

EDIT:

Went into Settings > applications.

Did a force close of Launcher.

Delete Data.

Readded my widgets except SetCPU this time.

Problem seems sorted. Will update tonight.

Hi guys,

One new issue with 1.7 and 1.8.

After changing the WiFi regulatory domain to 13 channels, going back to review the advanced WiFi settings causes WiFi to fail completely. It disconnects immediatelly and after that 'Error' is displayed in the WiFi status. I have to disable and reenable it to work.

Also, could somebody post a mini guide for A2SD+ in DeFrost? I cannot find something relevant....
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Check the second post in this thread. It details how to get app2sd working.
[Desire Android Development] GAda:

Note, on my device:

[Desire Android Development] Blinkiz:
Am also using that version and am still having problems with echo's.

I do not hear echos in my phone so much anymore, but people calling me are hearing echos.

Echos does not happen with Android 2.1 stock version of Desire that am running at the moment until this is fixed in Froyo/DeFroST.
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
Use Titanium Backup and backup your [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage. The only "problem" with this, is when you restore it, you have to reboot your phone. Otherwise you won't see your APNs.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:

Let me start off by saying i absolutely love you for this, this rom is epic.

However, with your latest release (1.8) my desire seems to shutdown completely at random. I flashed it last night and found myself oversleeping because my alarm didn't go off. My screen was somehow stuck at the bootscreen.

I had not yet installed any app, because i went straight to bed after flashing.

It has been shutting down about 4 times today, once in the middle off a phonecall

Hope this helps somehow, if not, ill be available for any questions :)
[Desire Android Development] le3ky:
I get this too, also get the call echos which I didn't get on 1.6 or 1.7!

[Desire Android Development] Asure:
Same issue here, but i'm still on 1.7. The phone died hard while 'doing nothing on my desk. Had to remove and re-insert the battery, before i could power it back on. I was running 'Beautiful Widgets', 'Alarming', 'Launcher Pro' and several Storm8 games like World War and iMobsters.

I'd forgotten about it untill i read this. Mine did it once, but not during the night, and i didn't oversleep.. phew!
[Desire Android Development] hallieknar:

Great rom though. I did use Modaco for a while but this one is my favorite :)
[Desire Android Development] Kurai Kitsune:
Yeah i've come across this issue now. Quite annoying. Does the official FroYo do the same thing on Nexus?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Are you running uvoc or uvonly version? If so then please test the stock kernel (standard 1.8 without kernel upgrades). Some cpu's can't handle the overclock, undervolt or both. Never had any reboot myself so can't think of any reason why.
[Desire Android Development] hensk:
10ks m8,

a actualy find a way to manualy update tham all ,

& now 3g start to worked again
[Desire Android Development] alienwolf426:
I used 1.8 for about a day. Tried the market in the morning and it was super slow, and then tried the market again when i got home, it was still slow.

As for the battery drain, its pretty weird. the battery drain is constant when the phone is idle, however during normal use i notice normal battery drain.

as an example, yesterday i used the camera a lot and the battery went from 70-50% in about 5-6 hours. i took about 200+ pictures and about 3-4 videos of about 1 min length just to give you an idea. i also played some games.

However, on the way back home, battery went from 50% or so to 30% in an hour, while it was in my pocket. and then it went from 30% - 20% in 10-20 minutes while i was in my room and the phone was sitting idly on my desk

hope that helps. like i said in my earlier post, 'Android OS' usage was highest and i just don't understand why it would be so high. Normally, its either Display or Phone Call, which is the highest and Android OS is at 2 to 3% on the bottom of the list.

PS: by far the best froyo rom i've used, and I will probably try out 1.9 when you release it, because i know 1.5f is very stable and very fast for me but with some minor bugs :)

thx
[Desire Android Development] :
Also can you enable the router to see the phone as an attached device on the network... At the moment wifi is fixed and we can connect to the router, but for some reason its invisible to the routers attached devices, and it dosent seem to be getting an ip address, and then i cant send files wirelessly to the device through webshare;( as it needs to have the ip address of 192.168.1.3, and at the moment it has none;( Cannot also connect with remote Itunes;(

Cheers Richard;)

Other than the Flash issue and the one spoken above, all is well with this rom;P

Oh yeah, and the always on led;) but this can be fixed with a restart for now...

thanks for this beautifull ROM.

I have checked exactly the juice consumption just to see all the fuss.

I used 3G only, TaskpanelX, for a few "bad apps ;)

Overnight without wifi but in 3G, lost 7%.

Charged in the car this morning:

09:30 100%

10:30 94% 6 app installs bit email 3G

11:30 91% 2 sms, agenda

12:45 84% bluetooth in car 2x sms

13:30 81% stby

14:30 77% few sms 1 phonecall and reboot (new sd)

15:30 76% nothing

16:30 74% little weather and traffic info

I think there little wrong about this. I'm a happy person with

this one. Except the few things mentioned above.

Donation placed. THX Richard.
