[Desire Android Development] Heaven2.9:
Just updated and experiencing some issues.

E-mail: The phone says that the e-mail-application isnt installed.

DeFrost: I cant find DeFrost setup among my applications.

[Edit] Google Calendar insnt installed either.

Might be other things, however i have never experienced these problems before 2.2.

Can anyone explain why and how to solve it.

Thank you very much, aspecially Richard!
[Desire Android Development] martinlong78:
It's probably worth compiling a list, as the same questions are being posted over and over. I might try and write up a guide for SetCPU and APPS2SD later too.

Full Working:

- Bluetooth

- Camera autofocus

- Cpu battery consumption (user education required*)

- APPS2SD (user education required*)

*how to set these up is posted on this thread - if you can't figure it out then flashing a hacked, incomplete 'alpha' ROM is probably not for you

Users still reporting issues:

- Echo on phone calls

- Display still using excessive battery (I'm also seeing this)

Known issues

- Light sensor

- Video recording

- Wifi tethering (portable hotspot)
[Desire Android Development] Beudbordel:
Good job, thanks for this message.

Kudos for the defrost rom by the way, depiste the minor bugs beeing raised here, the rom is overall great and stable.
[Desire Android Development] jurmala98:
Ah, didn't realize that you had to download the BETA from the Market Place..

Now it works like a charm :)
[Desire Android Development] lgrangeia:
Add to this list of issues:

- Facebook contacts sync (a user from this list already has a solution for this)

- Camera flash not in sync with shutter

I can't think of anything else. Its a pretty small list of issues, all things considered.

Nice work, everyone involved in this rom.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
New update posted:

DeFroST 0.5 nouvoc_noaudiomod update (no overclock/undervolt and no audio-mod, apply after 0.4 full rom)
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Thank you for this new ROM!

I'm not absolutely sure but with 0.4 when the camera is used, then the phone starts to be hot and slow. Is it a common problem? I'll see whether 0.5 solves this (I know the autofocus problem has been solved).

What kind of data is lost when updating from 0.4 to 0.5?
[Desire Android Development] duanes:
@ Richard,

Version #0.5 is great!

Nice to see a dutch developer on the Desire...

One thing though, recording with the camera is not possible, it is possible to take pictures, but no video... it FC and the camera becomes unusable till you reboot the phone.

Apart from that, great rom!

BT works great with mij BT-car system
[Desire Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
So even when we do have a list of known issues people are still going to repeat them? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Probably yes, cause every newcomer sees the first post like this:

Nobody is reading the instructions and other important things.
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
@RICHARD

Could you please include above list in the first page of this thread? That would be easier for members to go through what problem is under checking or to be checked.

Thanks again for super ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
Great OV/OC kernels basically sucks, thank you!
[Desire Android Development] fabiomoda83:
Don't working in 3G/hsdpa ???? I installed frost 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4 but never work
[Desire Android Development] dudeldei:
It would be great if we could be able to turn off the shutter-sound on the camera as well...
[Desire Android Development] ulrar:
3G and 3G+ works fine
[Desire Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
It works fine it's just that the icon doesn't show it

(also something for the list maybe?)
[Desire Android Development] duanes:
Hahaha... funny, but serious...

Dude, it's not mentioned in the first post... as I always read the changelog...

But I thank sgk2007 for reminding a earlier post.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
For most people it works great i think/hope.
[Desire Android Development] asci:
Known issues

- Light sensor (autobrightness)

- Video recording

- Wifi tethering

- USB tethering
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
Phone died during the night, no morning alarm raised...

I suspect custom kernel as the problem #1 of unexpected battery drain

(probably does not fully turn off the display subsystem).

Anyways it's great to have Froyo that fast :)
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
It works great for me.. i did have some battery loss but i blame setCPU for that.. it was pinned at 998Mhz so battery died ;-)

Froyo works super fast i rly love it and cant wait till the HTC release comes.

Richard great job i coud kiss u
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
First of all .. Thanks for the update! :)

just 1 problem so far ..

- notification/status led not working

(also posted at the Bug Tracker already)

The new DeFrost Setup is awesome, really nice work..

Some Update Notification for Rom-updates would also be great. (maybe for one of the next versions :p)

@Heaven2.9

Works fine here..

Did you wipe before installing/updating the rom?
[Desire Android Development] GlumeX:
What is actually new in the gmail update? :-)
[Desire Android Development] Heaven2.9:
No i didnt. actually, i have never done that when updating. It have worked well before, and it i very convenient not to wipe.

Do i have to wipe, and if so, what differs in the new versions that requires wipe?
[Desire Android Development] sjauquet:
héhéhééééééééé ;o)
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
What's new in Gmail?

New header design makes it easier to reply to or star messages.

Performance boost for most features.

Lots more cool stuff you'll love..

--

That's what it said after the first start ;)

But i'm not really using Gmail so i can't compare :p

I'm pretty sure, that a 'fresh' install after a wipe will solve your problem(s) :)

I don't do a wipe for every single update either..

But incase you don't there is the possibility to have problems like the ones you've described..
[Desire Android Development] Fightspit:
Thanks you so much richardtrip to put the Super Circle Battery Mod in your setup :) \o/
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
No problem :-)
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
Great update. Thxs Richard!

Found 2 issues:

- LED notification is not working

- Facebook contacts sync is not working

Both issues were ok in 2.4d...
[Desire Android Development] razor_cmw:
Hi I did an update from 2.4d to 2.5 using rom manager. Did the usual wipe etc.... all worked fine...... except for my location stuff. I've got wome widgets that show stuff like weather based on the phones location and the location bit stopped working. Was fine if I set the location but I didn't seem to be able to pickup the phones location anymore. I restored back to 2.4d and its all working fine again.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Not enabled by default. Enable and it should be ok.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Fb sync is working fine.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
No led notification here too.
[Desire Android Development] xivius:
Correct, worked after a Facebook data reset....
[Desire Android Development] Mitchou73:
Nice work Richard.

One problem for me: LED notification

Email, Calendar and facebook sync work for me

Thx a lot
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
*edit* see below
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Sorry I can't see any difference with old gmail for me, I am alone is this case ?

Someone here see new header or something ? (screenshots)?
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
A quick update on the battery issue:

It seems that the wipe helped with the battery stats. Yes, it's going down a bit faster (2% per hour in sleep mode with sync on) but nothing massive.

So.. this might help those that were having huge drain issues when the battery reached low levels (under 30%):

- let the phone on until you get a full discharge

- go in recovery (plug the device in if you can't power-on otherwise)

- go to Wipe - Wipe battery stats

- power-off the phone and let it do a full charge
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
It's when you actually go into an email - there is a star icon and a reply button at the top of the mail. Only changes I've noticed so far.
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
oww ok :( thanks!
[Desire Android Development] paprkut:
2.4 has terrible battery life. Battery died overnight from 43% thats with a mugan 3200.
[Desire Android Development] testies99:
I had the same experience. Went from 50% to dead in 4 hours.

A handful of short calls (under 2 minutes).

5-10 sms

10 photos taken.

Hoping it improves with 2.5.

Btw, i never had this problem before 2.4d.
[Desire Android Development] larsn84:
800 mV

Hey

Love your work, has been with you since ver. 1.8, tried others, but always went back.

However, i was wondering if t will be available with 800 mV kernel again?

I thought it ran very well for me, and battery time was awesome.

Since I upgrade to 2.4d, i think it has begun to consume a bit more power, than earlier. I work from 8 pm to 5 am, so it always runs out of power while at work, so, if possible, I would love to get 800mV kernel back :)

Dunno if battery life has been improved in 2.5, but would like to get a bit more battery life out of the battery than in 2.4d :)
[Desire Android Development] zheads:
This update is terrible mistake, for me atleast.

I had not ad working 2.4d, made backup with Titanium, copied everything on my comp. Repartioned SD card, wiped everything, flashed 2.5 and copyed everything from comp.

1. No any startup wizard

2. Couldnt restore anything with Titanium

3. Widget News&Weather FC
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
1 : I don't have this problem, saw the wizard 100% working

2 : no problem aswell to restore via TB for me 100%

3: sorry I don't use news&weather widget :D

*edit*: tested news&weather widget: work 100% too for me (no FC)
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
I don't need startup wizard and you fand configure it manually,...

Widget News weather works great no Problems.

At quadrant 1773 Points,.....

Battery we will see tomorrow at work,....

The & sign shows &amp on Keyboard,....

Great Job richard
[Desire Android Development] zheads:
Very strange, i did full wipe, flashed 2.5, restarted - no any startup wizard. Did it twice. wtf?
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
which recovery are you using ?
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
Welle the only thing i can agree with you is that no startup came,...
[Desire Android Development] jayesh:
Well running into ROM manager and the market. It starts to download, gets stuck into an infinite loop and when i try to cancel it crashes the market. This is on 2.5 with 1267 Mhz kernel.

It was installed with a clean wipe and reinstall of all apps. I am kinda stuck with ROM manager causing crashes.
[Desire Android Development] troca:
try SetCpu and lower the cpu to 998
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Update:

New version :

Version 2.5a:

* fixed double quicksearch

* fixed notification leds

* dropped greek support for now (&amp keyboard problem)

* Updated Gmail
[Desire Android Development] djide:
Download link not working....but still Rich GR8T wrk.....

by now HTC should be knocking on your door with a job offer ...so you can teach 'em a thing or two about pushing out updates in a timely manner.
[Desire Android Development] djide:
Download link back online.....
[Desire Android Development] stephen21:
Flashed IT already,...

We'll See what the. Battery is doin timorrow,....
[Desire Android Development] Dunbad:
Thank god we've moved away from 2. 4d! That Rom was the first one for me that simply didn't work. No location services, start up wizard, TB, getting contacts transferred it wad all a pain and not worth the hassle. 5 seems great, no wizard again but at least things sync which is all you want. I went back to 2.0g as that was the last decent defrost Rom I had saved. But anyway, any chance of a request Richard? (Ice donated already) A semi transparent drop down menu from the notifications bar like on CM. That is cool.
[Desire Android Development] Ewox:
I can't flash in 2.5a.

Getting:

------

E:Failure at line 8:

Tried downloading the zip again but same thing.

Also, in 2.5 i can't install any MODs or updates from the "DeFroST Setup" menu.

------

Error: java.io.FileNotFoundExeption: /data/data/org.judison.defrostsetup/files/reboot(Is a directory)

Anyway.

Excellent ROM so far :D
[Desire Android Development] blabla189:
LED Light doesnt work for me on 2.5a. :-(
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
Thanks for the update, but LED notification doesn't work for me...

Tested with Handcent.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Leds are working fine over here with 2.5a
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Tried to launch me a mail on my phone for testing Gmail led notification, and worked like a charm (orange blinking led)
[Desire Android Development] Lyson:
Neither works for me.. :/
[Desire Android Development] AndroidGX:
Yes trying to help you on the bug tracker :D
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Flashed to 2.5a without problems.

Looks like battery drains a lot faster would like a 900mv version.

Indicator led is working ok with sms and email, would like to have the blue and purple back.

Would like a headset indicator in the status bar.

Props for this ROM and quick updates, sorry for the "would likes"
[Desire Android Development] marcomsousa:
Can you remove the Google voice, because don't work outside USA
[Desire Android Development] troca:
First flash I ever done without a wipe just installed 2.5 and didn't want to wipe when upgrading to 2.5a don't know if that's the problem but status led not working for me neither
[Desire Android Development] blabla189:
100% agree!
[Desire Android Development] Doogleman:
2.5 upgrade- nice

So far so good with 2.5. As far as performance goes it's pretty exceptional- I think the graphical performance is smoother than any other DeFroST ROM, so new kernel = awesome! However the battery drain isn't great so an Undervolt kernel would be a good improvement. Everything I've tried so far works perfectly so no real complaints here :)
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
@richardtrip

Nice work and really like the performance of your ROM. Just a bit curious about whether you have added the WiFi and charging fixes by PaulW21781 from here.

Besides, the brightness level is simply too high in Sense ROM. Could you please revert to the Froyo one?
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Is there any posibillity to get the radio app from sense in this ROM? Use it often in the train.
[Desire Android Development] Ruka82:
I don't know if is a simple placebo effect,but everytime i install the blackbar the battery drain is too fast.

Install the 2.5,used for one day without blackbar and the battery consumption is slow.

The day after i install blackbar and the battery consumption is ultra fast.

Yesterday i install the 2.5a without blackbar,unplugged from charge this morning and after 2 hour the battery is on 99%.

It's a coincidence or someone find that strange behaviour?
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Is it me, or is reception better now? Seemed to have gained a bar or two.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
So... ummm... in 2.5a, LED notifications are like in Sense ROMs now? Just orange, rather than blue/purple? :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
The charging fix is compiled into the kernel. The wifi fix is not from paulw21781 but is also in the wifi module. Paulw21781 is using the 2.6.32 kernel i think.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
It is a handcent problem that we can't use the led from there.
[Desire Android Development] jjplayground:
When to wipe, when not?

I do not understand when to wipe and when not.

I am on 2.4d and want to go to 2.5a. I do not think I have to wipe right?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Always try without wipe. If there are problems you can wipe and flash again.
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
Edit: lol. Nevermind. The problem is my mobile network.
[Desire Android Development] Ewox:
I'm having same problem but when getting an email (gmail).

It just flashes orange :(
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
Everything on 2.5a seems perfect. Except. I had the phone charging during the entire night and when I picked it up in the morning ... with charger still plugged in the charge remained at 99% ... no biggie but an observation.

No idea about the battery life yet. Haven't been running regular kernel for a while ... long live 800mV ;)

My earlier issues with phone not charging were resolved ... another phone that was charged from the same HTC charger (BB Curve 8900) exhibited the same problems ... refused to charge for an entire day from any source ... original chargers, PC USB and even phone store chargers ... two different phones, two different brands etc but same issue for a day that came and went about as fast. Weird.
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
So the purple and blue blinking led is not coming back then? Or is there a problem with handcent? I don't use handcent and had the purple and blue blinking led in the 2.4d version.

[Desire Android Development] mrsimes:
Notification LED

Does anyone use K9Mail? On stock 2.1, the notification LED for new mail would blink for 5 minutes then stop, however in DeFrost 2.4d the notification light comes on and stays on until acknowledged.

As you can't schedule times for K9 to check mail, it will light whilst I'm asleep (and stay lit all night) and when I wake up the battery is almost flat.

I can't put the phone into airplane mode to disable it completely as I need Touchdown running to pick up any on call alerts from work.

What to do?

[Desire Android Development] toinux:
It's due to modified /etc/hosts which blocks ads, you can restore the original by applying the zip file "Disable /etc/hosts file adblocking at any Desire ROM with this ****" here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722983
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Makes sense; will give that a try and see if it makes any difference to the drain. My thinking would be a badly behaved app simply keeps retrying over and over in a tight loop...

[Desire Android Development] bimbo1974:
The same behaviour - I don't use handcent either and there was purple/blue blink in the 2.4d, but now there is only orange blink in 2.5a

Anyway great work Richard :)
[Desire Android Development] discohero11:
My understanding is that DeFrost Setup was updated in 2.5 but it still looks the same for me as it did before ... in other words I can't install/get kernels etc.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Thanks for confirming that. It's a damn shame to lose blue / purple, if you ask me :(

I installed 2.5a with wipe data checked. However after rebooting it didn't ask me to sign into my Google account (the usual first-time-start-up), is this normal?

I'm having a problem with Latitude in maps (I use it a lot, all my family is on there), can anyone help?

Maps wasn't on this ROM, so rather than "update" I had to install it.

When I go into Join Latitude rather than just signing in it asks me to sign in or create an account. If I sign in it says that account already exists on the phone yet I have no option to select that account.

Tried removing and re-installing but it doesn't work

Any ideas?

this and lack of 720p video is the only faults I can find with this ROM
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
Thanks for the reply! As long as the charging problem is gone I am happy with the ROM.

That being said, the WiFi fix paulw21781 did is not the same as the one checked in by Broadcomm I believe. He actually mentioned that in the changelog for his 0.3 ROM. Not sure whether he has published his changes however. And yes he is using the 2.6.32 kernel.

As I said since the charging problem is gone I am happy with the ROM. Thanks Richard.

How about reverting back the auto brigntness to Froyo level please?
[Desire Android Development] :
Oh, plus it has a few apps pre-installed (Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta 3, Facebook 1.2, Twitter, etc.). I re-flashed to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong.

richardtrip, is this supposed to happen?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
+1 on this. Having finally got the phone to a state where it's using around 2% an hour (unheard of for me since the days of my Nokia 5110!) I don't want to take a step back.

i have major battery drain. I was only playing mp3s on my way to work for about 1h+ and battery was drained 20% when i came to work 9:30. at 13:00 my battery was on 60%.

I agree, blue/purple is better than orange. I hope Richard will solve it in next release :)

Yes. Notification led looks like low battery now. I liked the "broken" led also because you didn't have to stare at it for 5 seconds to see if you have a notification.
