HEEELPPP! (solved)

I eventually got my bricked USB / SD card not recognised / non-booting Desire working again. Pheeeww!

For those who might encounter the same issue in the future, you have do the following:-

- update the USB drivers inf file to detect the Android 1.0 device

- repair your MISC/NAND partition (to fix USB) using a custom update.zip

- unroot your phone

- root your phone again

- install DeFrost custom ROM

1. Update the HTC Sync driver inf file.

Edit C:\Program Files\htc\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86\androidusb.inf and add 2 lines shown below to the [HTC.NTx86] section

; HTC Desire

%MyHTC%=HTCAND32.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C94

2. Using Windows Device-Manager, find the Android 1.0 device and update its drivers manually, telling device manager to browse in C:\Program Files\htc\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86\

3. Repair your MISC partition then Unroot your device as per instructions in post#1 at http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/

Auto Brightness fixed in 2.0e, all working perfect now!
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Hi,

Really super ROM.

One problem for me: cannot play .wma music. Is it possible to update music player that can play .wma files like the one in DJ Droid ROM.

Or any software can play this?

I've tried many software: TuneWiki, Mixing, ...but failed. It means you have to convert your music file to mp3, take a bunch of time.

Dear Richard,

Thanks for your excellent ROM. Would you pls look into this for your next release/build?

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] naboleo:
Can someone confirm that the flash LED for the digital camera is working fine ?

I just notice that mine is not, and my phone tried to jump from the table to the floor 2 days ago .... I don't know if it's related or not, but i'd like to repair it quickly if needed

Thanks

720p recoding, FM Radio app on No-Sense ROM?

What about 720p recording on No-Sense ROM? is it possible?

What about the HTC FM Radio app?

it is the 2 last features that i'd love to see in next DeFrost Rom :-)

Anyway, DeFrost rocks! I am using it since the v0.3. I love so much my Desire (hate Sense UI and widgets).
[Desire Android Development] rcourtman:
Yeah the jumping incident might be related as my flash on 2.0e works fine.

Thanks to Richard for fast updates! Can't get enough..
[Desire Android Development] ffoo3d:
Le flash fonctionne très bien avec la 2.0e ;-)

Flash Led is working well on the 2.0e release.
[Desire Android Development] djmickyg:
I have a request, want to see what others think?

(not sure if this has been brought up before)

I use Bruts google map version to allow international navigation, so I don't need the standard one installing each time. would It be possible to remove it from the ROM?

it can be downloaded from the market if it's needed?
[Desire Android Development] naboleo:
Thanks guys for those quick answers !!

Merci !

Will need to unroot, and restore stock 2.1 rom... brrrrrrrrrr
[Desire Android Development] Dunbad:
Just wanted to say thanks this is a great rom.

But obviously some questions also.

I'm on 2.0b, with no issues. Wifi good works as it should. camera good, looses 4 percent battery over 8 hour sleep period. (obviously takes a beating when I use it hard). Great 3g, hsdpa signal, alls good, but reading problems with c, d and possibly E version. Is it worth updating for my device? My phone currently moves faster than a fast thing! Don't want to mess it up!

But if I do, how do I do it via rom manager. Do I wipe cache etc, do I install just the kernal? Is there another radio update? Can I go from B to E? I'm already backed up this version.

And last question for Richard,

How much money have you made from defrost? I hope you earn something for your efforts. And hope as a percentage you get most people putting in something. I shall donate when I get paid next week. Great work.
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Hey man, awesome having FB syncing working on 2.0e, but whatever changes were made to enable h246 video format have screwed up the video player for me. After pressing record there's no response for around 4 secs and then the phone reboots.

Love what you guys are doing, especially the snappy build updates :)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
can you create one with a 2.2M boot image ?
[Desire Android Development] gamliel:
:mad::mad::mad:
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you flash the new radio? That is a must for working camcorder (working fine here).
[Desire Android Development] vman81:
is there any way you could include user agent switching in the browser, like the cyanogen roms?

Most "video" sites just redirect me to some crappy paysite when trying to access them with the mobile browser, and I had this solved with cyanogen.

For research purposes only, of course :D
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
I've been regularly updating the build by simply flashing the new one on top of the old one- no wiping or anything. Been doing that since 1.6 without any problems. The best thing is it means all your data inc. apps are intact and there's no messing around with reinstalling stuff. Presumably the builds are so similar that there aren't any conflicts.

As far as it being worth it to update, it does only take about 4-5 mins if you don't wipe the phone, and you can always flash back to a previous build.

There are advantages and disadvantages: the new 2.0d/e builds have fixed Facebook syncing for me and run quick, but I don't think the battery life is as good as 2.0b. I'd wait for video to be fixed perhaps in the next build- they seem to appear every few days :D
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Best option is to make a nandroid backup, flash the new ROM und test it yourself :)

There is no need for a wipe, just install the full ROM and if you like a kernel.

And it is always a good idea to donate something for richard :)
[Desire Android Development] Arthur Hucksake:
The brightness seems to be very dark with auto brightness on.
[Desire Android Development] TAM1m:
Start the browser
-> type "about:debug" (without the quotes) as URL
-> go to settings and scroll down
-> The last option will be "UAString"
-> klick und choose "Desktop"
[Desire Android Development] vman81:
Doesn't seem to be working for me :/

I've used about:debug before on firefox, and i've tried typing it in a few times now without quotes, but when i press go, nothing loads, and I just stay on the site i was on before. I'm running 2.0c.
[Desire Android Development] TAM1m:
Yes thats correct!

Then now go to settings, there you will find a few new options and the last one should be UAString...
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
soory, but only change to 2.0e from 2.0d is for Quadrant?

tks
[Desire Android Development] vman81:
:D Thanks, I missed the new menu options.

Curse my assumptions!
[Desire Android Development] Degurney:
hmmm I don`t see UAString??

I click on settings and I`m presented with

safe search

save recent searches

save recent locations

allow use of location..

I`ve looked in more settings too.. where you guys seeing this??
[Desire Android Development] Scrammy:
Auto brightness - GONE!

I just upgraded to 2.0 e and my autobrightness setting is GONE.

There just isnt a way to set it on..that happend?

Everything else is fine! Wonderful rom!

Jim
[Desire Android Development] vman81:
I don't see those options, I guess we're not looking at the same menu.

I opened about:debug (once, no change on screen), and after this in open the browser settings, and look at the bottom.

I opened about:debug again to remove it.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
You're looking at the "Settings" page of your Google Mobile Account. You have to press the hardware "Menu" button and then select the "Settings" menu item from the browser' menu.
[Desire Android Development] finnschi:
First of all, awesome work Will donate soon ;)

I just want to report that the DeFroST setup app is not working for me.. everything else is just totaly awesome! :D

ah yea and having Battery Percentage show up would be awesome

keep up the good work! :D
[Desire Android Development] molem:
have a look at the "Desire Themes and Apps" Section in the Desire forum
[Desire Android Development] Degurney:
Dooof :( found it... thanks guys
[Desire Android Development] Clivectmob:
Hi, and thanks for all your efforts, 2.0d was the first 2.2 rom that's dragged me away from pays 1.5, as I need something reliable, which this is now. However, there is one thing missing for me now, I used to use quickoffice to view docs in emails but as its removed I now can't. I have an apk I used to use on 2.1 which installs ok but fc's as soon as you open it. Does anyone have one compatible with 2.2? Or know why this quickiffice.apk does not work?
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Thanks a lot, that was the problem :). APN isn't explicit in the menu.
[Desire Android Development] smarti13:
a HTC Desire !

I'm flashing since more than a year (magic, then desire)

I wiped, reformat....

pb with

- Pays-ROM Desire Sense v1.9 Dalvik (line 373)

- DeFroST 0.4 Desire Froyo

- eViL_FroYo (line 390)
[Desire Android Development] asci:
By performing a local search you should have found the answer...No it's not only you.
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
I am also having problems with the battery i think it is because of the camera.

When i am taking a photo i noticed that the battery drains fast, and i have to reboot and it will stable again.

Maybe because of memory leaks. ?

I can get facebook to sync as well.

But anyway thanks for a semi working ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] f1n4rf1n:
Where does the base ROM come from and which specific version is it?
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
No problems with live wallpapers for me, and my batterie is fine
[Desire Android Development] df9517:
ROM works well but there is a frustrating problem with the market:

1) Some parts of the market is incredibly slow, it takes like 20-30 seconds for some pages to sho up.

2) After installation which works well, the market still shows "installing". A hard close and restart of the program fix the problem and the program is registered as "installed".

3) I installed a program to app2sd just to test how it works. After uninstalling the program the market never stop showing the program in the download list. It says "free" and probably will forever. Normally the market should forget about that program after a while.

I heard market has some problems but I doubt all of you have all these problems?

EDIT: Suddenly the problem solved by itself. The market run fast and everything works as expected. I think its the program "set cpu for root users" which wants to update even though its a paid version. SOmething with this program might be causing this, anyway, it was solved automatically after a while.
[Desire Android Development] froghn:
Small tweak needed for charging.

i noticed the charging led going to green al 91% at 4118mv.

Though he is still charging the icon and led say charged.

Perhaps battery in the nexus has a different capacity?

A Full Lipo should be 4250mv. I think....
[Desire Android Development] indiewhore:
my LED went green at 91% with the stock ROM, I'd prefer it to change at 100% though if its at all possible.
[Desire Android Development] salahag:
I tried to take a pic but it didn't work, and with no error messages. Immediately after that the battery started draining like crazy, plus the temperature rise. I restarted the phone and it went back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
Yes that's excactly like mine, i think there is some memory leaks in the camera app or a problem with the kernel.

You said the picture didn't work, did you set zoom to infinity ?
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
A little off topic, but can you please tell me where to find "global address" i need to search my company's Active Directory i am using Exchange. ?

I have read that Froyo should be able to to that without 3rd party apps.
[Desire Android Development] asci:
I report a small bug:

when you send a sms "me" pic isn't displayed.
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
Hi Guys.

At the moment, for those who have problem with the battery, try this out:

- Update SetCPU to the latest version (1.5.4) and make sure it is stored in Internal Memory.

- Enable profile

---- Set Charging: Max: 1267 Min 128 Enable

---- Set Sleep: Max: 128 Min 128 Enable

---- Battery:<100% Max: 1267 Min 128 Enable

Enable Auto-refresh and Set on Boot -- Ondemand

- In the homescreen, add SETCPU WIDGET, and set the active time to fastest to see how it goes. Leave it for a while then DELETE THE WIDGET FROM THE HOMESCREEN

- Reboot the fone. And you will see battery consumps at a lower rate.
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Desire do not support 128 so lowest setting is 245...
[Desire Android Development] willbread:
i had same problem first time i tried this rom, so i installed Evil De-Sire and re-install this one

Now, all it's Ok ;)
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
The lowerst is 245. It doesn't matter if u set it to 128 as it will pick 245 value anyway (Thank to Richard : )
[Desire Android Development] asci:
BIG PROBLEM with LauncherPRO:

after I installed Launcher PRO on my Desire/Froyo, native a2sd stopped to work!

Please check it. After uninstalling it, all my apps became visible...
[Desire Android Development] stingerpl:
Richard,

Since you seem to figured out the Bluetooth problem, maybe You can take a look at CyanogenMod port for the Desire?

This leaked Froyo is too buggy for me, it would be great to have a 100% working CyanogenMod on Desire.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
For Bluetooth, I cann't pair with another X10. We can see each other but we cann't pair.
[Desire Android Development] brian1203:
Request for assistance

Firstly, thanks you for your effort of this great ROM. But I found the traditional chinese fonts in this ROM cannot display normally in Hong Kong website. So, could you please help me to put this

.ttf

file into the fonts folder to replace the original one. Thank you very much!!
[Desire Android Development] danbst:
Defrost app broken is the only issue I can find so far. Loving the rom.
[Desire Android Development] spamoi:
@richardtrip: could'you add the FM-hardware app in your futur ROM please ?
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
DeFrost 2.0e Full Rom with 2.0d 1267 UVOC Kernel

Im please to report i find 2.0e is as stable as 2.0d (ie very :))

i have mean average (over 10 runs) Linpack = 43.87 and Quadrant = 1607

Issues im still experiencing:

LED:

- alternating orange/green whilst charging

- Solid green from 90% charge

- alternating blue/pink for notifications

Wifi:

- Still disconnecting when the phone sleeps (juiceplotter confirms this)

however i have noticed when i use my APN widget to turn of my data connection the wifi does not disconnect at sleep. so im thinking maybe the problem is some form of conflict between wifi and ANP???

SetCPU:

- Profiles (is anyone else getting problems with setting the profiles, regardless of my battery % my lowest profile of <20% is constantly triggered?)
[Desire Android Development] smarti13:
GREAT ROM

just missing the FM Radio (Sense only ???) and it will be perfect

Quadrant bench score = 1495
[Desire Android Development] hally83:
Are they issues? I thought it was supposed to be like that.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Post a newer kernel version later this evening. Defer reverted a fix which could be the cause of the battery drain. Didn't realize that fix wasn't in the standard msm kernel. My bad :-)
[Desire Android Development] finnschi:
Second that!
[Desire Android Development] yusufdaud:
I think that they are issues. When I used an LED testing application(I forget what it was called), the phone would show orange when I chose red and flash green and then orange when I chose orange.
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
Its meant to be like that but how is it done? I would love to add colored led's to my rom.....
[Desire Android Development] Degurney:
me too... I quite like it actually
[Desire Android Development] finnschi:

I will support you thru donations, great work!! no AWESOME work you rule, too bad your team lost at the World Cup.. but well mine did too (Germany)
[Desire Android Development] woehrl:
just got my desire today, and put this rom on it. I had a Hero before. What I miss is "Spare Sparts", or am I just blind :p

despite that, great rom! could you add the host-file of adfree?
[Desire Android Development] hally83:
You must be blind, I have 2 spare parts!

I've just flashed 2.0e over 2.0b without a wipe and Google Talk won't even open, issue or just me flashing over the rom?
[Desire Android Development] brian1203:
Ignore this topic !!

I have solved the problem with Android Commander by myself, thx!!
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
hi rich, in 2.0d no problem with battery and wifi. Btw in 2.0e i have battery drain and wifi don't work fine.......

I have download your rom 2.0e via rom manager with kernel uvoc 1267 and quadrant is very very fast
[Desire Android Development] sander151187:
2nd that. I will use this ROM if there is ANY way to add the dutch language to it, as it is very stable.
[Desire Android Development] sky|ined:
My battery is draining considerably faster since I updated from 2. 0b to 2. 0d without wiping - if that matters.
[Desire Android Development] finnschi:
Wifi N not working for me

2.0e
[Desire Android Development] muken:
Speaking of kernels, could the UV kernel be the problem to the Bluetooth problems I'm experiencing?

Is it possible for you to build a non UV kernel for testing?

Thanks for a great rom, unfortunately I can't use it since I use all the Bluetooth gadgets in my business...
[Desire Android Development] sky|ined:
I like this feature alot and I find it very useful. I don't see how it can be a problem. The ideal would be if we were able to control the behavior of the LED from the settings. This way everybody would be satisfied.
[Desire Android Development] anthropolyte:
Flashing to 2.0e at the moment using ROM Manager / Clockwork Recovery - currently it's sat on the Nexus loading screen animation and not getting any further. Been like that for about ten minutes now. Is that normal?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Same thing here
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Kernel updates:

Please flash one of the DeFroST_2.0f kernels after 2.0e full rom even if you want stock. This kernel possibly fixes a battery drain issue.

DeFroST 2.0f Stock kernel update (max 998MHz)

DeFroST 2.0f Undervolt only kernel update (max 998MHz)

DeFroST 2.0f UVOC kernel update (max 1113MHz)

DeFroST 2.0f UVOC kernel update (max 1267MHz)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I see no mention of headphone problems in first pst so i will ask. Does anyone have the ability to answer a call with your stock headset? I can listen to music just fine but i can't use it as hands free. Found this very strange...will try again later.
[Desire Android Development] spamoi:
What is the differences in the 4 ROM ? (exscue me, im' noob in ROM)

Can you add the % in batterie circle ?
[Desire Android Development] anthropolyte:
Never mind - I think it was me being a bit too hasty and flashing the black status bar at the same time as the actual ROM. Reflashed and all is now ok.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
What's the problem?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
It only connects at 26 - 56mb with my N-router
[Desire Android Development] sky|ined:
54 is the maximum data transfer rate for WiFi g so it seems like n is working for you
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
@Richard

Tried the new kernel.

On first reboot the phone got stuck on HTC screen.

Waited 10 mins then removed the battery.

Checked Phone info and it says

Kernel Version:

2.6.32.9-bravo-froyo-r6 trip@trip-laptop#9

Did i do something wrong???

Once again, thanks for a great work.
[Desire Android Development] sky|ined:
Try wiping or no wiping this time
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Flash this module update (tested and working). Will be in my next version.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
You update at lightning speed Richard. Your work is brilliant. This rom is so close to complete i suppose you can spend more time on the little bits now the echo is gone. I hope you maintain this for long.
[Desire Android Development] hally83:
mine booted straight up but says r16, not r6 (unless that was a typo)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
It seems to be working :)

Linkspeed 72mb!

Can you create once again a smaller boot image in your next rom for those with the bad blocks on their devices ?
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
It is indeed a typo. The question still stands tho...
[Desire Android Development] lionelg:
hi i flashed the ocuv 1.1ghz kernel with no problems
[Desire Android Development] jayshah:
Just so you know, the Black bar FRF85 that was posted on this forum works still :D

Sorry Richard, the one you put is just too OTT for me :(
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
i still have the problem, that wifi is deactivated after phone sleeps and after wake up i have to connect my AP manually. And in the policy i have activated "Never". It seems to be ignored.

beside this: Fantastic ROM! Thank you :D
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Hi Richard,

Thanks for 2.0d APN updates, I finally got O2 Prepay MMS working - although some editing was required as password and MMSC port number fields were blank so didn't work initially
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Update:

new version uploading right now (12 minutes to go). Ready!

Version 2.0f:

* Fixed possible battery drain (kernel fix by Defer)

* Battery charge to 100% and stays at 100% (kernel change by PaulW21781)

* WiFi N fixed

* newer version of DeFroST Setup (fix fc's hopefully)
[Desire Android Development] Z1CkY:
lol nooo..i'm installing 2.0e now :( :D
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
boot image size ?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
It isn't my version so I don't mind ;)
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
I replied earlier, but you missed it i think....:)

Is there a reason that you don't support Dutch in your ROM?

It's your native language right?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did not change anything to the boot.img. To busy atm.
[Desire Android Development] orthopaedeflex:
When comes the Camera HD_Function???
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Ok, thanks anyway :)
[Desire Android Development] Z1CkY:
+1

[Desire Android Development] torl1020:
Not possible Download
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Download link broken, can't download 2.0f atm :eek:

Too much success for that ROM :D

*edit* problem solved
[Desire Android Development] Arthur Hucksake:
2.0f is 89MB ? Woah, nice and trim then.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Pleasy try 2.0f full rom (without a wipe). If that doesn't work wipe and flash full rom (2.0f).
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
does any1 happen to know where I might find the stock digital clock for desire?

The one in the pic

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Rickbob:
I'm not bothered about the colour as such, just that the led's are not behaving as they should. Just because you like the outcome of an error doesn't make it any less of an error :)
[Desire Android Development] freaksey:
would be awesome!
[Desire Android Development] Z1CkY:
i have install now 2.0f without wipe..works perfect! ;)
[Desire Android Development] failers:
is it only i who have slowness on the browser in 2.0f ? opening certain pages makes the phone almost unresponsive and didnt happend on stock 2.1
