whats up with richard? has he lost the fun about defrost, cause of oxygen? is he waiting for cm? is he working on a new rom?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Maybe he's just busy with Christmas... ;)

Anyway there doesn't seem to be much happening for the moment.

Just have fun with the current ROM. It's fast, stable, etc. I don't see what more we could expect.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Dizzonanz:
i think you are right, i like this rom, yesss, i like it
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Nahhh

Yes

Yes, Gingervillain. Pure AOSP
[Desire Android Development] Dizzonanz:
gingervilalin is made by richard??! ****, im a idiot xD
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes, but its Pure. No additions. Its exactly the same as it is on the Nexus S. There's no cyanogen / RT additions.
[Desire Android Development] Dizzonanz:
sounds very good, do you know the different to oxygen? cause oxygen is a very goog rom, but i had no time to test gingervilanin
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No idea, sorry. Not sure what AdamG puts in Oxygen

hi,

flashed the DeFrost 6.1 today and everything works fine, except 1 thing:

when i connect my desire to my computer via usb and enable the usb data button i dont see all my files.

example:

i record a video with the camera, now i want to copy that video onto my computer.

so i connect my desire via usb and browse to the dcim -> camera folder, but there is no video file!

so i disconnect the phone, browse to the same folder via ES File Explorer and the .mp4 File is there. But i dont see it on my computer.

So i reboot the Device and connect it via usb again and now the file is there.

Is that a bug or did i do something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] BigWhoop:
you have hit the usb bug.

rebooting will solve this problem :)
[Desire Android Development] yeahimdukenukem:
OK, guys. Wiped completely and reflashed DeFrost 6.1a

Tried different kernels and found that EVioletts 6.1se HAVS AXI BFS works just fine, but I always have to hold the power button for a very long time on wake.

So I tried EVioletts same kernel, but with CFS and that worked well for me, just short press of power button wakes the phone up.

Then I tried EVioletts more recent 6.1.1 (NOT se) HAVS AXI CFS and I can tell you: IT'S GREAT!!!!

8.5 hours of standby result in just 3% battery loss, it's amazing. Don't know why the se kernel should have less battery drain, I cannot confirm this.

Thanks guys for the help and keep up the good work :-D
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Was the wake issue you mentioned with the smartass governor?

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] yeahimdukenukem:
Yes, I know it works with ondemand governor, but with CFS kernel it also works with smartass.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
That's good to know... I have to try then... :)

Unfortunately I haven't had the occasion to try all the kernels... :)
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Richards se kernel is the same.

For my first custom rom i have tried on HTC Desire, Defrost.

My aim was to have a apps on my ext3 partitions!

Up to now i am satisfied!

Thank you guys to make such a great job...:
[Desire Android Development] killuah1337:
i rebooted and then the files are there. but when i record another video, the new file is not there.

im gonna flash defrost again today and if the bug is still there, the rom is unusable for me.

/deutsch^^

hab rebooted, und dann war das video auch da. aber wenn ich dann noch ein video aufnehme muss ich wieder erst rebooten damit ichs aufm pc sehe.

ich werd defrost nachher nochmal flashen, wenn der bug weiterhin da ist, ist das rom für mich erstmal unbrauchbar.
[Desire Android Development] dollabillz217:
Anyone else have an issue with this hanging at the HTC screen on bootup after flashing? I have HTC Desire bravoc. Wiped everything, installed ROM just fine, but first time it boots it just hangs at white background, green HTC logo screen forever. any ideas? Is this ROM not for CDMA?
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
did you perform a full wipe before flashing the rom?try doing a full wipe and reflash..shouldnt take over 5 mins...also rom could use upt to 10 mins for the first boot to build dalvik cache e.t.c
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I'm pretty sure it isn't - I believe you need different ROMs for GSM & CDMA. CyanogenMod has a CDMA branch, but DF is a GSM ROM.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I wonder if its dual? For cm at least. I remember a cm bug that transfered to df where it identified as bravoc (cdma)
[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
Hello, market ask me to update talkback and each time at installation it crashes android. Any idea what is going on? What is the use of this app? Can I delete it with root explorer? Thank you..
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Have to uninstall with titanium backup, then reinstall via market.

Hope it help s. You can then move it via root explorer, if you choose.

[Desire Android Development] JagSem:
Currently on this but the simcard is locked and I dont know how to enter the PUK code.

I get the emergency dialer but I can't enter the PUK to get my sim unlocked

How do I enter the code and get the phone to recognize it?

Cheers.

Edit to say: I just used another phone but I still couldn't enter the PUK code using this rom.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
No idea, interested to know if you find the answer.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] killuah1337:
After reflash the bug was gone, but now its back. Dont know why :( I dont have the problem with other roms, so its def. defrost.

When i make a picture i have to reboot, to be able to copy it to my computer. A bit annoying, hope it gets a high priority on the bug tracker.
[Desire Android Development] simo123456:
is ther any update for the rom like df6.1b or something like that
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Richard's currently busy with GingerVillain (which is already nice). We're expecting the next DF update to come after CM7 (i.e. gingerbread cyanogenmod).
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
can we use Bravo data++ hboot for this rom?

or is n1 table better?
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Will this ROM be supported and updated to Gingerbread or do we have to switch to Ginger Villain?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Richard mentioned this before, he will continue to work on DeFrost -and update DF to gingerbread- once CM is ready being updated to gingerbread. So I guess you'll have to wait a bit for now. However, Gingervillain works great, so it would be a good alternative in the meantime (if you don't mind the videocamera not working)...
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I think you can use the data++ table, however, because the cache partition is only 10 MBs, some people recommend the n1table. From what I understand, the downside of having such a small cache partition is that some games may run slow. However, other people say it doesn't affect speed. Furthermore, you'll have to flash radios using fastboot but that's not really an issue I believe.

I think, since DeFrost uses A2SD+, having the N1table would be just fine. Even without A2SD+ you would be able to install plenty of apps with the n1table and Froyo's A2SD...
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
i just flashed n1 table. I thought its supposed to have 198 mb of free space, however it was only 133 mb when i checked in device settings. how come?

i slightly modified Defrost and it went up to 95 mb, and updated a few apps but i did not expext it to have a 65 mb difference.

pls help. thanks.
[Desire Android Development] rickvnl:
Just flashed the ROM for the first time.

Now I'm looking at an X with sparkles for 10 minutes or something.. Is this normal?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Did u wipe before install?

I know some first boots can take a while...

sent from my DeFroSTed HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] rickvnl:
No, didn't wipe it before flash.

I'm doing it now and reflash again.

Lets see if it works..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm guessing that will be your problem then... I always wipe and fresh install, even.if its just upgrading the Rom I.e. Defrost 6.0 to Defrost 6.1 I still wipe... even 6.1 to 6.1a... that's just me though...

sent from my DeFroSTed HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Do you have many apps installed? Although DF uses A2SD+, some app data still gets installed to internal memory, thus you will see a decrease in space. If you have all your apps installed and still have 95MB free space, it will be plenty imho. However, you could try to mount the dalvik-cache in the /cache partition at boot, that will save you another 45mbs or so. Since the n1table has a rather large cache partition, this will not affect performance. Follow these steps (thanks to Kali-):

- Wipe Cache in recovery

- use adb to type the following commands:

'adb shell'

'mount /system'

'sed -i /dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1/d /system/build.prop'

'umount /system'

- Then to cleanup old cache files:

'adb shell'

'mount /data'

'rm /data/dalvik-cache/system*'

'umount /data'
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Is there any in-phone script available for that?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I think it will be possible to do it 'in-phone'. First wipe cache. Then edit build.prop, change the line /dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=0 to /dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1. Save and close. Reboot phone and then manually delete the /data/dalvik-cache/system* files... (no script though)
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
i wonder why cache partition is that big for n1 then, since the dalvik is saved in the data partition anyway. /cache partition is only for browser cache and some recovery stuffs. I also doubt having a small cache partition (10mb) will affect game performance.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
It looks like I have already had it for some time ()-8 Is that means that my phone's dalvik already was relocated?
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
In case anyone was interested, flashed 0.4 ginger villain kernel over the top of defrost, and all was working except wifi. Very nice and snappy.

Looking forward to seeing it on defrost soon.

[Desire Android Development] qprneil:
Hey guys,

first of all many thanks to Richard for such an amazing rom, been using now for almost 6 months and its been an absolute pleasure.

Last night I updated to 6.1a and a newer kernel and ever since my Home and Search buttons do not work.

Done a quick search and one person seems to have had same problem but no one responded. I went back and installed 6.0 and still have the same problem.

All ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Did you take a nandroid before updating? If so, restore to that - if it's anything to do with the ROM that should sort it.

Otherwise, did you do a clean install of 6.0 (i.e. wipe first)? And check for the problem before restoring any apps or settings?

I realise this is just generic advice, but it's all I can think of - I've not encountered the problem. Only good thing is that being 2 buttons it doesn't sound like a mechanical breakage.
[Desire Android Development] qprneil:
Sorted with a wipe, thanks for the suggestion. Strange bug, as you said, i didn't think it was a hardware problem as two buttons where not working.
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
Hi Guys,

Does this ROM support WiFi N by default or is it an add-on that I would need to download?

Thanks

Shiraz
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
WiFi N is enabled by default ;)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
I've found that defrostsetup's hosts is blocking one non-ad site. How can I remove those lines out of hosts? Should I extract everything preserving directory sctructure, remove those lines out of hosts, repack everything and re-apply?
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
From what I've read, this causes high battery usage. Is there any way to remove WiFi N?
[Desire Android Development] patp:
Can anyone tell me if the camera in this rom is as good as the stock htc performance?

Currently using Oxygen but can't tolerate the poor still quality.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
I could understand that being the case if you are on a wireless N network. I personally don't have an issue with my battery and I'm on a wireless N only network.
[Desire Android Development] Lmkt:
Hi there.

I have accidentally installed busybox 1.16.0 from Titanium instead of Defrost's 1.17.1. Is it a big deal?

Also, is there anyway to remove the 3D Gallery? I find it quite clumsy.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I don't think the busybox will matter, but you could try the busybox installer on the market?

As for the 3d gallery, you can delete it from the ROM before flashing, however, you would need a gallery app for viewing of pictures and videos, I guess...
[Desire Android Development] boety:
I just upgraded from 6.1 to 6.1a but my problem still exists.

Notification light is not working, for example when I receive a new email or missed a call.

Is this a known problem?
[Desire Android Development] Dolox:
Hey guys,

Ive got a problem with the wifi.

Ive got the 6.1a. I have no wifi connection and he doesnt scan anyone. Ive take full wipe and flash it again but nothing help.

What is the best kernel and radio for this rom and can someone pls help me with the problem. Maybe a wifi patch can help or so.

Thank you guys.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Actually, in 6.1a it is a known problem, not in 6.1. To get notification lights working, I'd recommend flashing 6.1 over 6.1a (wipe not necessary). In 6.1 the lights should just work fine...
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
That sounds strange. Anyway, the best -recommended- radio you can find in the OP. Every kernel should work fine (though not all are completely stable on every device), but wifi should definitely work with the standard kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Bucci:
wi-fi problems could be solved with kernel re-install (tested with 2 cases)
[Desire Android Development] boety:
Ok thanks. A bit strange though, I had 6.1 installed.
[Desire Android Development] boety:
Still not working. Is 6.1 file replaced? I try to download a new 6.1 zip later.
[Desire Android Development] killuah1337:
This is the best Rom for Camera use, imo.

Especially the Camcorder is great, cause it keeps focusing all the time if enable it!

And theres a 720p Youtube Profile too.

The Oxygen is really bad when it comes to the Cam, especially bc the camcorder crashes - hope that bug gets fixed in the final.
[Desire Android Development] Tanzid:
this is the BEST ROM i have ever used! :D

I tried 4 Roms...but this turned out to be the awesomest! :)
[Desire Android Development] Spiders:
I'm the same opinion
[Desire Android Development] patp:
Thanks for that, I'll give it a go then. What's a good partition layout?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you're talking about a custom layout, on Defrost I found this to be good:

mtd 120 25

That leaves about 293 for data (where 120 is /system and 25 is /cache). Although if you flash more to /system (apps pack etc) you may need a bit more. Maybe 125 25
[Desire Android Development] patp:
That is what I meant! 120 is great, certainly going to give this a go. Why the 25 fit cache tho, 10 seems fine in oxy.
[Desire Android Development] CraigQ:
I experienced the same problem with Wordpress stats.

Using adb I pulled the hosts file, removed the three 'offending' lines/ sites using TextEdit (Mac OSX) and then using adb pushed the edited hosts file back. NB In order to push it back I had to boot my phone into Recovery, mount system and then USB connect to my Mac. If I didn't do this I could not push the file back. (Best to boot into Recovery and mount system from the start.)

Hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I like the ability to play games. The smaller the cache, the worse a game plays
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
For me, LED notifications don't work when using the themes available on Defrost setup. Same for both 6.1 and 6.1a. Reflashing the ROM didn't fix, but then I flashed a new theme from the UOT kitchen and LED functionality returned to normal.
[Desire Android Development] boety:
I don't have a custom theme installed. I could try to install a theme.
[Desire Android Development] killuah1337:
how do i change that kind of stuff? i made my partition with Rom Manager and then just flashed the Rom via Recovery. Works nice, but i dunno what u mean with these settings :confused:
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
If you really want to do this, I suggest you start reading about S-off. When you are S-off you have the ability to change the size of system partitions. But if you really want to do this, make sure you do some research first (it can really mess up your system)! There are several threads about this topic. But you need to understand that partitioning your SD card from within rom manager is rather different than partitioning your system...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
yep, this
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Hmmm... if you don't have experience with this kind of stuff, but do want to go down the S-off route... may I suggest trying out the N1 table layout first? You may find it suitable for your needs, even if it has a smaller /data partition. It's easier than having to flash a modified recovery and then an extra .zip upon each ROM installation. You can always move dalvik-cache to the /cache partition, this would free up some 30-40MB available on /data.

notification lights not working

I have not been able to get my notification lights working.

I tried DeFrost 6.1 and 6.1a. flashed both. I installed custom themes (some causing bootloops) but it just won't work.

Wiped data from Wallpaper app and from Settings. Not working.

So there does not seem to be a solution to get the notification light working again.

I read about Settings --> Sound and some options to enable notification light. In my Settings it does not show those settings. That's strange right?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Notification light works fine on DeFrost 6.1.

How about trying WITHOUT installing a custom theme. Perhaps you have one that breaks the notification light. I read that CDT5.3 tends to break it.
[Desire Android Development] boety:
I don't have a custom theme installed now. I did a nandroid restore. Back to a new flash of 6.1.

I can redownload 6.1 (http://xda.b42.nl/richardtrip/DeFroST_6.1.zip) and install it, just to be sure. Do I need to wipe anything? Dalvick cache?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I don't see why it wouldn't work. Full wipe before installing 6.1 and you should be OK.
[Desire Android Development] boety:
Since I have it installed already and it's not working :).

What do I have to wipe exactly? I don't want to lose my settings (screens, widgets, etc.). Is that possible?
[Desire Android Development] DonTron:
Hi Richard,

This is now MY rom i fixed to disable powerbutton to wake-up and enable trackpad and finaly changed the font to my preffered and the black statusbar, so now the only thing i need is the screenoff animation from gingerbread ..can anyone help??

Dontron
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Nope.

You have to wipe everything (data, cache, etc.)

You WILL lose your settings, especially the widget placement, etc.

But it's not that much of a hassle to restore. You can restore your apps using Titanium Backup. All you need to do is configure the rest, which shouldn't take that long. You could be back up and running in less than 1/2 an hour.

[Desire Android Development] urkee:
Hello!

Can someone help me with my two problems:

1) Vibrate state can't be set, I set it to "vibrate always" but after some time, state just goes back to "only in silent mode"...

2) Trackball doesn't wake up my desire in first try, I have to press trackball several times or a bit longer to wake up, tested trackball, working 100%... it's quite annoying....

Defrost 6.1
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Is power button also slow to wake? What kernel? If you're not using a 6.0c version, try one
[Desire Android Development] superdino:
It has? On which page of this 1890 pages long topic? +/-100 would be helpful :p
[Desire Android Development] urkee:
No, power button works just fine... Using 6.1se_svs_1190_cfs

K, will try 6.0c version and report later...

thank you
[Desire Android Development] urkee:
Same problem with 6.0c kernel....
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Try using a CFS kernel.

Or, otherwise don't use Smartass.
[Desire Android Development] urkee:
Using 6.1se again with diseabled smartass and it's working for now...

That means no smartass for me if i want to wakeup my device in first try :D
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Or you can try a CFS kernel. They work really well for me. The wakeup lag with BFS kernels is almost completely gone and I'm using Smartass
[Desire Android Development] urkee:
I'm a little bit confused... CFS + BFS kernels? Or you men just CFS? Witch one do you prefer (from defrost setup?). Sorry for n00b question, I'm new with kernels...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
It's either CFS OR BFS. It can't be both.

I was just saying that CFS wakes the phone up more easily.
