came back to DeFrost from 24h of testing various 2.2 stocks +,

I really hope richard comes back soon and boost DeFrost with just a few new features
[Desire Android Development] Cuchulainx:
Same here, it's the original and best 2.2 rom, running it with the new radio and the battery life is superb.
[Desire Android Development] retaliator69:
That's right!!! Best 2.2 ROM around, reinstalled after testing some other and official HTC. Keep it up!!!:D
[Desire Android Development] brummiesteven:
Do you guys really think the battery life is superb? I'm lucky if I get 5 hours :confused:
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
I have always only got 8 hours, no matter which rom.

This is with wifi on, and normal work phone calls, sms's, internet browsing, Reading xda, emailing (manual updating), auto sync on, and screen on auto brightness (and I work outside, so always bright).

If I use internet radio, no more than 2 hours with screen off.

I'm used to it, and charge in the afternoon and at night

Edit: sorry haven't checked the new flood of sence roms, and probably won't, as love vanilla. But I also like, the cream, sprinkles, sauce and the cherry on top.
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
I just installed launcherpro from the market to replace launcher. Man is it sweet! I highly recommend.

[Desire Android Development] :
I unrooted to the officiel froyo from HTC and my battery survives so much longer :b

Though I'm not sure if it was an/some app(s) who killed the battery..

Thanks for the great Rom.. running the official 2.2 from now on :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Not a clue what is going on there fellas. I get minimum of 12 hours if i hammer it. During normal use i have pushed it to 48 hours.
[Desire Android Development] brummiesteven:
Here's my normal usage at the moment (am on summer break from uni, would change when I go back).

I charge via USB, I have a dock and I leave the clock on all night so I can use it as... A Clock funnily enough.

Charging through USB is slow so it normally runs on charge until about 1 or 2pm. I tend to keep it there to use it as a clock on average until about 3pm. At first I thought I might be overcharging the battery but the back is never hot and I think it stops charging when it gets to 100% (I've read many articles that say it has overcharging protection).

Indoors I have Wifi On but like I say it's normally on charge

When I take it off charge I'm normally going somewhere, so I'll listen to music. I have Tasker installed which turns off Wifi as soon as I leave my house. I don't have GPS enabled but I do have Auto Sync on. The screen is quite bright but nto too bright, I'd say about 60% (I turned off Auto Brightness to see if this was the problem).

Anyways, I'll listen to music for about half an hour. Go on with whatever I'm doing, do a bit of casual webbrowsing or using an app (wappedia for example), usually to settle an argument :P. I might start playing a casual game like abduction for around 10 minutes.

4 hours or so later, I'll get on the bus home and start listening to music again. At which point I'll be gone 50% and at some cases, on low battery. :(
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Try uninstalling tasker and instead add the stock settings widget strip to your screen, then manually toggle wifi when out of area. I used wapdroid and Y5 to auto manage wifi and found both of them major battery eaters.
[Desire Android Development] djide:
What radio are you using and what is your settings like? I can hardly get up to 8Hrs on minimum useage. I work around with a usb cord in my pocket...LOL...and I am getting tired of explaining to people why.

I have SetCPU to manage the CPU while Screebl and locale to auto manage all my radios (wifi, gps, e.t.c). Display ALWAYS sitting at >52% useage....even at only 8% brigthness

am I missing something or doing something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] djide:
Just flashed the lastest Radio...hopefully that might help. Will report tomorrow....
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Discovered that a blackbar mod with coloured icons I've been using was responsible for putting Android System up to 57% in battery usage stats! So that's uninstalled and after a full wipe and reinstall of ROM/kernel and apps I'm waiting for a full charge to test battery. I have noticed however that display power usage is sitting up at around 90% just after unplugging (just from looking at the stock 'battery use' page). Anyone know if this is normal?

EDIT: After a bit of use the display battery use is generally 75-80%. Battery life is better so far, but still not on the level of what some of the guys on this forum are getting...
[Desire Android Development] webrosc:
Great work richard :)

I have a question i hope someone can answer, i use my phone as a ebook with adobe's pdf reader (best reader apart from the stock one but thats not in this rom), but the phone will auto shut the reader after so many hours running in the background and that looses my page (i keep a note with the page number incase) and each time i have to re scroll to the correct page.

Is there a way to stop the software from completely closing the reader and have it always in the background?
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Why not try a real reader like aldiko or something
[Desire Android Development] dl14349:
Or FBReader - free from market. But you do need epub format books.
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
Make sure u have SetCPU on with Screen Off in profile @ 245Mhz. With defrost 2.5a running at 1.26Ghz, i got excellent battery life. It drains a lots when i play game but it saves battery nicely when the screen is off.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Launcher Pro

I want to install the Launcher Pro but the permissions that want are bit strange.

It wants:

- access to my messages (gmail, sms, mms) Why ?

- personal information (diary, browser histroy, contacts) Why ?

- Services which I have to pay for (daily telephone numbers directly) Why ?

It sounds it's not really save to use is ???

Can not install Radio Rom 5.9.00.20

I want to install to latest radio rom through Rom Manager.

I downloaded the rom, put it on SD card. I run Rom Manager and select install from SD. Choose the zip file.

Phone reboots, want to install, but I get a red question mark.

Phone reboots.

Anyone a clue?
[Desire Android Development] georgemv:
What operator are you with?
[Desire Android Development] 3dmg:
Does anyone has a new info about the system process suspend?

When it starts working it uses constantly 30% cpu and drains the battery very quickly!

I'm using the latest Defrost version...
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
How did you do this?

[Desire Android Development] Cuchulainx:
Can't help you there I'm afraid, that's exactly how I flashed it, in fact, I just flashed it again to double check and it worked fine.
[Desire Android Development] mattharris26:
Make sure you have the latest ClockworkMod Recovery flashed.
[Desire Android Development] SiX-P4cK:
ask in launcher pro forum but at least it's use in the unread counter (miss call, unread sms and mail):

Probably too for all widget in launcher pro plus (pay version)
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
:( I have version 2.0.1.5 installed
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Which version do you have installed?
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
The problem was the latest ClockworkMod for me.

The application Rom Manager is version 2.0.1.5.

The ClockworkMod was 2.5.0.1

Is went back to ClockworkMod 2.0.2.4 and could install the Radio ROM now!

0.7 black bar for Defrost is out
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
More battery stuff...

I need some answers about battery life guys... I'm getting great results when screen is off as I

use SetCPU profiles and underclock to 245mhz (losing less than 1% each hour- thanks

Ephumuris), but when the screen is on its eating battery massively (As much as 75% the total

usage)! I know the stock auto brightness values used in this latest ROM version are poor, but i

really shouldnt lose 1% every 2-3mins when web browsing.

Any potential solutions would be really helpful. Thanks in advance...
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Richardtrip last active 30th July.

Let's hope he is having some much needed rest he has been updating this rom constantly!
[Desire Android Development] prove:
First, don't use auto brightness.

Second, it displays a much higher procentual value because a change in the code, it is thus no difference from when the display was displayed as "low".
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah true. I have high display usage but even compared to the official rom i get just as long if not longer form my battery. it's not reporting an accurate figure.

setCPU setting for 998 Mz kernel

Can someone give me the setCPU settings for the standard 998 Mz kernel please?

Thanx
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
page 1 second post from richard...
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Thanks. But it is a rather old screen shot which does not much the current setCPU.

And Richard says no profiles are needed but I do see people here giving setCPU settings voor the 1267 kernel. Are the needed for the 1267 and not for the 998 kernel?

Thanx!
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Start the program and press autodetect - done. Or what is the problem? :S
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
Oke done that. There is no problem I was just wondering if I need to set the profiles likes some other in this thread do for other kernels.
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Na, but you can if you want too of course ;) I'm only running screen on/off profiles. Just a tip, if you use to listen to music, use gps when running or what ever then don't use a 245/245 profile. At least I got problems with laggy music then. Now I'm using 246/460 with "super" battery time :)
[Desire Android Development] cesar67:
Where did i go wrong with the battery mod ?

hxxp://i27.tinypic.com/16kni3k.png

I installed:

framework-res-DF_2.5a_BW_blackbar-signed

Then

DeFroST_2.4c_Battery_Percentage

:mad::(:rolleyes::D
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Thanks for that guys, I thought the numbers seemed strange.

Does anyone know of a replacement app for auto brightness? 'Cause it can be a pain in the ass having to change values constantly, especially when the stock values are so extreme (either really bright or really dim).

And Ephumuris, out of interest how long does it take for your battery to drop 1% when using the phone?
[Desire Android Development] matschi:
is it possible to add a "Only 3G" option in the settings?
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Wouldn't that dramatically decrease the amount of locations where you'll pick up a signal?
[Desire Android Development] Joost007:
No and why ?
[Desire Android Development] svrroot:
i guess Richard stopped development because froyo for desire is out....
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
I figured that when a 3G signal is unavailable the device would simply use 2G data (GPRS/EDGE etc)...
[Desire Android Development] cesar67:
Does anyone know how i get the proper colour in the battery circle ?

More annoying than anything.
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
I had an absolutely shocking 20% battery usage this morning in around 90 minutes. Think I'm going to do a complete wipe and reinstall, then slowly readd all my programs manually. Can someone remind me/clarify that whole "resetting battery usage stats" malarkey?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
That's an absurd assumption. The froyo released by HTC is a sense based affair. This is a non sense rom. Why would it matter that HTC released a sense version?
[Desire Android Development] fakts13:
charge phone to 100%

wipe battery stats in recovery

let phone battery run down until it shuts down

charge back up to 100%
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Never heard of that before. Is that actually proven to work? Would like to see a source.

New radio compatibility

Has anyone flashed the new 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 radio with 2.5a?

Are the two compatible?

What's the battery life difference, if any?
[Desire Android Development] GlumeX:
Yes, works great :-)
[Desire Android Development] djide:
Battery wise.....no difference for me.
[Desire Android Development] weetabix1980:
Love this rom, only one question, does it record in 720p? Can't find it in the settings.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] BlackDragonBE:
No it doesn't (yet).

And AFAIK only Sense-based ROMs have that option up to now.
[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Hopefully not, but if he has, he's gone out in style as this is a cracking ROM and I'll be sticking with it over Sense. I love it! It's fast, clean, stable and good on the battery (for me). So what if it doesn't have 720p recording? I can live without that. From what I've read the FPS makes is practically useless anyhow.
[Desire Android Development] Lyson:
Hi,

pls tell me what app this is!!
[Desire Android Development] svrroot:
i used Richards ROM since Version 0.2, with 2.5a i had still minor problems, a view days ago i changed to rooted desire froyo ROM, a bit overloaded with tons off apps but doubles my battery life, sharp pictures, Video fully working, fm Radio too...

i like Richards work and send some money, but i think its easier to stripdown desire ROM as build a ROM from nexus for desire...
[Desire Android Development] djide:
Which of the thousands of FroYo sense would you recommend?

Been so tempted to test one out even though am so satisfy with DeFroST
[Desire Android Development] webrosc:
maybe the reason richard isn't about is because hes got hold of a new rom and very busy is in the process of stripping the sense out etc to give us all a nice new rom with his added bits and bobs?
[Desire Android Development] 3dmg:
Hi,

this is the app SystemPanel.

In the paid version you can monitor your battery charge, device usage and cpu activity and you can list the cpu usage of all running apps/processes...

very nice app
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Thing is, you're saying this as a user standpoint... you want a good working ROM. What you described (stripping down Sense) is simply not the goal Richard (and others) have. They want a pure clean AOSP Rom to work as good as it can.

That might mean it never comes close to the hardware support of Sense ROMs, but who knows.

What you want sounds like MoDoCo R5 / R6 release with his online kitching. You can build a 2.2 Sense ROM, but with some apps back to the 'stock android'. Like the phone, contacts, messaging, calendar. Even the lock screen. If you install LauncherPro or ADWLauncher you pretty much have something that looks like AOSP. But the setting-menu is a bit different and it still has the black sense theme for the notification bar. But otherwise, looks and works like AOSP Rom, but the HTC Browser, Camcorder, Radio... are all working. Just not the widgets, but the apps do.
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Or like most people he's on holiday this period :)
[Desire Android Development] alstrike:
I just found out a "bug" in the wifi connection.

My router is set with a WPA2 encryption and I was able to connect with every single ROM with no problem at all except for this DeFrost 2.5a.

However if I change the encryption on the router to WPA I can connect quite easy, anyone else experienced this?
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Stock Sense vs DeFroST 2.5a?

I must admit that I'm pretty tempted to try out one of the Sense ROMs... Mainly because I miss some of the attention to detail over the N1 UI- particularly the text selection and wiki/dictionary search.

The battery on this Defrost version hasn't cut it for me (though it's certainly the most stable), so I'm not sure if there would be any difference on stock Sense.

You guys that have tried the various Sense ROMs, do you know of any with a circle battery % mod? And how about OCUV?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah i think i would go to a sense rom just for my FM Radio now :(

But i would like a sense rom with 1267 overclock and undervolt. :(

EDIT: I think we need HTC to release the source though to make an OC kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
Yeah, but I cant seem to find any rooted versions of the official ROM via Google. I thought there'd be a few by now. Know of any good ones?

EDIT: Scratch that- on XDA I've already found a few :)

2) for the dialer, could you add T9, that will help quick to find the contact and dial...

BTW, I'm loving it, thanks again

Richard is it possible to replace a2sd for the [Script][A2SD] Darktremor Apps2SD version 2.7 Update 3r1 (2010-06-26) version?
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Hi Richard,

Are you going to create a new rom, which is made against the new radio update? so there is support for FM radio also? and maybe we can rip that from a froyo sense rom?

Any news on the notification leds to change to blue and purple again ?

Have reverted back to 2.4d with 925mV mod, had the Idea that the 2.5a was consuming more battery also with the 925mV mod which now had been taken online...

Looks like the rom is also performing ok on the latest radio update released last week BTW... did you tried that?

In 2.4d I also have the feeling the market is quite slow lately! loading takes long and sometimes it times out...
[Desire Android Development] muken:
This is a great rom, but unfortunately I can still not use it.

The issue is that when a bluetooth watch is connected to openwatch bluetooth audio (headset and A2DP) plays choppy.

In 2.5a this is working att bit better then in 1.x and in 2.0. However it's still unusable :-(

This behavior is the same in opendesire, but bluetooth works as expected in DJ Droid.

Am I the only one with this issue?

I've tried all the latest radios too. But no differrence in bluetooth audio quality in DeFrost.

Any ideas why it work in some ROMs and not in others?

Stupid question: what does ASOP mean?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Something along the lines of Android Open Source Project.
[Desire Android Development] reijosirila:
Sorry dues, hade to move OpenDesire. They have included STK.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Maybe this is a stupid questions, but:

What is STK?
[Desire Android Development] reijosirila:
It's SIM Application Toolkit. Basically operators can store standard applications for every phone to the SIM (very simple, menu based).

I use it for banking and signing documents digitaly. I use it every day so it's really needed for me.

My operator stores my personal certificate on SIM to autentificate in internet bank or sign digitaly documents.

To use certificate, I have to unlock it wiht PIN and send it to required service (for example to bank). This process requires phone to support STK.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Thanks for the explanation.

Then my google search gave me the correct link :)

Now that Cyanogen Mod has 720p working i hope it is easy enough for Richard to port it over to Defrost. I think it will be. I have no interest in using Cyanogen any more as it's not up to scratch compared to this rom. Sure it has a few nice mods but they are TINY things.

[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I just feel that Defrost is a much more stable rom. I like the fact i can choose to OC to 1257mhz. Plus it was the first Froyo rom really that we had on here. The first functional one.

CyanogenMod 6 will be great eventually but for now it's way off the mark.

EDIT: And now OpenDesire has 720p too. Not that important an update to me but i'm sure it will be in Richards next release.
