indeed the black bar would be welcomed. Actually I wouldn't mind some theming like shadowfrost where everything is black/dark and you can supposedly some some battery this way.

I'm getting 1550 on quadrant and 46 on linpack, and it all feels very smooth.

I've done a couple of 480p tests but they weren't excellent, though

Richard. Brightness is why too bright now on auto in a dark room.

Actually the new black bar works!

I guess battery drain and wifi sleep issue are caused by 3G connection. I turn off 3G manually and then turn on Wifi, ping wifi in sleep mode is perfectly fine and battery kinda last longer. Th'at jst mo
[Desire Android Development] :
How do I flash a new radio? Is it the exact same procedure as flashing a ROM with ROM Manager?
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
Regardless whether brightness bug exists or not, auto brightness is always way too expensive to choose. Install Brightness Profile and have a shortcut for it on homescreen. It is very easy to use and powersaving.
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I was noticing something strange: on shadowfrost I had similar if not higher quadrant scores, while consistently lower linpack scores... is it normal ?

I'm not so sure about auto-brightness being problematic for the battery, but it's really blinding here, so anyway it would be good to lower it a bit. I use switch pro anyway but sometimes I would like to leave it on auto.
[Desire Android Development] magic618:
Can I ask a noob question?

Y are there 4 types of different rom to choose from.

Sorry, I am really new to flashing rom....
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Yes.

@magic These are kernel updates. Only flash full ROM if you don't know what they are :-)
[Desire Android Development] braso:
There is one full standard ROM and the other ones you are looking at are upgrades to the kernel to allow overclocking of the processor.
[Desire Android Development] tabsina:
I did a full wipe and clean with 2.1 and 1267 UVOC kernel and newest radio.. restored with titanium backup from previous installs.. and am using SetCPU stock settings with max brought up to 1267, and 245/245 on sleep

Also I'm now also using JuiceDefender, but this was pretty much the same as what was happening before

1h17mins unplugged and 68%.. the main culprit seems to be Android System at 45% of that..

anyone know what i'm doing wrong? I've barely used it for anything other than voice calls.. (which has taken up 19% after 13mins of talking)

let me know if i should give other details
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Yes, ROM manager is an easy method. Choose the 'Install ROM from SD Card' option.
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Awesome,

CONFIRMED!
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
A new BlackBar version seems to have been released roughly 1,5 hours after the release of DeFroST 2.1. Can anyone confirm this version will not revert the framework-res changes?

Tried unzipping the framework-res apk file and looking in the XML files. I suspect I should compare the power_profile.xml to the one in the blackbar mod. I'm not certain about this though. The files match (ran a compare in notepad++).

The changelog says:

That would dictate that this file would be the right file to check because it contains both brightness and powerusage settings. Atleast that is what I can read of it in notepad++, which seems not the right way to really read the file. Can anyone confirm if this is the right way to check?
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Maybe useful for people searching this topic for some known issues:

Cannot connect to camera/camera not working

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Running -> Kill everything camera related like Camera, but also barcode readers and torch apps (tools that allow you to enabled the camera flash LED to be used as a flashlight)!

My guess is that this problem only happens if you run camera related apps to fast after a boot. I have no thorough knownledge of Android roms but it feels like some modules are still loading. Maybe someone can enlighten me about this.

DeFroST setup f/c when opening the second tab

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB debugging

Don't know if it's working as intended that the setup needs the debugging enabled. If it is, it would be nice to add a warning that debugging needs to be enabled when the setup is started and it's not. Maybe even one that prevents you from accessing the setup further but links you to the menu where you can enable it.

2.1 is a perfect froyo rom I have no issues with anything and currently my battery status is 1d 6h since unplugged and 74% left :D incredible work richard, defrost 2.1 newest radio
[Desire Android Development] judison:
Thank you guys...

I will investigate it further after some hours of sleep :P

I just don't know how to debug it, with debug disabled :D huahuahua

It's possible to run logcat locally on phone?

Any tips on what may be causing it? when the 2nd tab is opened it runs "pm getInstallLocation" to get the current value...

what may cause a FC when debug is off???
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Is there any way to get the source of DeFroST setup?

I'm a noob to this but I have a little bit of experience with Java. I would like to try to implement a warning, for now, if the usb debug is not checked.

I can vouch that brightness is too high even after applying the mod, so I guess the stuff sticked.

Undervolt battery life

Hi Neil,

I've been using version 2.1 with the Undervolt only kernel since it got updated, and the battery life is the best I've had (even better than stock ROM). Last night it drained 5% over 9 hours (with Wifi and autoupdate turned on) so I'd say that's definitely the best bet! And I haven't touched SetCpu settings or anything like that- I guess the UV does what needs to be done with the CPU- nice and stable too.

USB Mounting

Hey Richard.

Great work once again with 2.1! Something I've had issues with over most of the versions though (inc 2.1) is USB mounting. It's temperamental as sometimes it works, and sometimes it will reboot the device (the latter being very annoying). It always takes a lot longer than it used to with the stock ROM, so I imagine the process is in need of some streamlining...

Thanks again

Hi,

for flash permanent recovery with unrEVOked is in setup this:

1) With the phone on goto Settings > Connect to PC -> Default connection type -> Disk Drive

2) Uncheck 'Ask me' option then goto Home

This setting is on Sense ROM, but DeFroST ROM 2.0g don't have this menu. Have this option version 2.1?

And do somebody had try flash recovery with unrEVOked on DeFroST ROM without default "Disk Drive" usb setting?

Thank, Lobo.

I don't know if this is a problem relative to this Rom, to froyo, or to my setup, but I've restored my contacts from the HTC Rom I had before and their picture shows correctly when calling. Now if I try to change / add someone picture, select it from the gallery and crop it accordingly, when I call this contact the photo loses quality, it's shown pixelated, a bit like the problem with blurry pictures on sync with the Google account. Google contacts sync is DISABLED.

Anybody with the same issue?

One last thing,coming from shadowfrost is that loudspeaker volume is a tad low.

Hi.. great progress! My battery life with 2.1 us amazing compared to 2.0a..

Couple of issues aside..

Im Using the latest radio.. I backed up the old apps using titanium and then wiped 2.0a using recovery.. after installing 2.1 and using titanium to restore the apps I've noticed that when I close most apps manually by pressing the back key.. they stop responding.. also wireless still disconnects when the phone sleeps for a while and 3g kicks in.

Apart from these issues.. thanks for all your hard work.. if I can get these problems aside I'll surely donate.
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I've tried every combination of dialers and stock galleries / cropping, but the result is always the same: when calling someone the picture is way worse than the one selected.

It's like having the blurry sync, without sync!

Am I the only one experiencing this?
[Desire Android Development] Schaefer:
Don't know if this is ROM related, but atm I cannot buy any apps from the market. It tells me this:

After that it gives me the option to add an account. When I add the checkout account (the same on which I receive mail) it tells me:

Even though checkout is completely configured. I suspect it did not update the info for the existing account. I don't know if this is a ROM issue or a general issue Google is having with the market. Nearly no hits on Google when searching for this problem.
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I got a similar but not exact same problem, when I didn't complete all the steps and syncs of the account. Not sure it's the same situation

I've found out that my problem with cropping contact pictures is given by the fact that the image is badly resided in the dialer. If I crop a very small portion of a photo, the resolution is about the same that the dialer uses and it works sort if ok, although you are perhaps only seeing the eye or nose of your contact..

I didn't try it, but you could try to use JuiceDefender. You can enable/disable WiFi every 10mins or so for 1 minute. Like that you wouldn't receive updates/mails etc. right away, but at least every 10mins (or X mins).

I did not test it because at the moment I don't need to be connected to the internetz all the time, so it's not a big problem for me (but still kinda annoying to wait/reenable WiFi when you need it).

2.2 working, couldn't try brightness fix yet. Graphic bug still there (unlock slider).

Otherwise...still the best ROM imho, great support and thanks also for the nice blackbar updates.
[Desire Android Development] toastyghost:
Just about to flash 2.2 - I had ridiculous battery drain even on 2.1 until today, when I decided to remove SetCPU (had profiles set for 245/245 with screen asleep and 245/576 for <30% battery). Since then, I did the battery calibration thing again just in case, and have had 100% battery showing for the past two hours.

So anybody finding they're waking up to a dead phone, try removing SetCPU and rebooting, then doing a full charge. I was losing over 50% battery whilst the phone was asleep before I did this.
