general question.

can i just delete the .apks i dont need directly out of the .zip?

will it be still signed or doesnt it matter cause i use clockwork mod?

one more question

if you look into the 2.7 zip

in the data]app folder there is 2 times flash

is that normal or not?

also 2 times google maps

one file with .com google in front, 1 normal maps .apk...
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
I have deleted the .apk files that I don't use and installed 2.7 fine. Didn't touch the duplicates though... ;)
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
and if i want to add some .apks i just have to put the into the system\apps folder right?

does that work?
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Haven't tried that, you can try and tell us.
[Desire Android Development] dw515:
Works fine.. you just have to disable verfication in recovery or resign the zip file before flashing it.
[Desire Android Development] benlaug:
Hi,

Here are some newbies questions. But I found no answers, sorry :S.

app2sd (Google vs Legacy) : I have some problems with that. The first is if I have en ext partition or not, I see no difference ! However, I read that there are many differences, but what are they ? How to know if I use the app2sd from google or the other ? How can I activate the legacy one ?

Another problem is the following : if I install my task manager, I move it to the SD card and I check the box for an auto startup at reboot, it doesn't work ! Even if after, I move the application in the phone ! I try everything, remove/install again, check/uncheck the box, there is nothing to do ! Why ? How can I fix that ?

The other problem is the widgets that disappeared when the application is in the SD card. I read that an app2sd (I don't if it's the one from google or the other) permit to keep an access to your widget, even after a reboot. Is it true ? Which one is ok for that ?

Original HTC firmware : Is there a way to restore a clean HTC orginal firmware ? Is there a way to restore the original recovery and to have my warranty back ?

Thanks

i am currently on opendesire. but i want to know, if someone is willing to tell, that how is defrost different from opendesire? please help... thanks
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
This is my quote to your question from the other thread:
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
for me in OD only auto brightness is not working and the other thing works properly. so that means there are simply no differences in both OD and Defrost? i mean if i go with defrost or opendesire i get the same thing?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I recently switched from OD to DeFroST and I'm loving it! Faster, for me anyway, absolutely everything works and I haven't had the OJ die yet, which was a big problem for me. Battery life seems better... Defrost Setup app is awesome. Man I'm just loving this ROM! :D
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Yes forgot that battery life is better in Defrost.
[Desire Android Development] tonyep:
Is it just me or is the stock wifi tethering broken? It's connected but i'm not getting any downlink to my comp. I can open sites just fine on the Desire while tethering is running. Had to install android-wifi-tether for it to work.
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
Where can i disable verification in clockwork?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
In recovery, choose install zip from SD, then toggle signature verification...

Can anybody comment on battery life? Using OD atm and quite happy, but is battery life with defrost ok? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] kjpp:
Im not sure why but on Handcent SMS blue led in notification dosent work for me.
[Desire Android Development] uultimaa:
ooo camera fixed, quality stuff. now... the big question is... does psx4droid work !?!?!?!?!?!? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
So I don't risk my phone to get broken if I use it for a long time?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Battery life in OD is good until OJ dies and obliterates it...

So far DeFroST is better for me in general use though, and I've been using OD for a while until today. I can tell you that you won't be sorry if you try DeFroST, it's seriously good...
[Desire Android Development] weirdNumber:
I have a weird bug since 2.6. It's present in 2.7 as well. Sometimes when launcher pro is dropped from memory and reloaded, before it reloads I get a blank screen with a mouse pointer in the top left corner. When launcher pro loads the widgets are tiny, until I open another app or move to a different screen.

After flashing the ROM on first boot I get the blank screen with the mouse pointer.

Also someone mentioned the ad blocking drains the battery, what's the reason behind this?
[Desire Android Development] Wombat:
psx4droid has always worked, something to do with you install of it.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Hi Richard, can I get a nexus boot screen choice in defrost setup, as would like to change back. Nice anim though, just Ihave a desire in my hand and don't use sense :-)

[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Yer it just happens the odd time it happend in an older version of the rom, its in the bug list, but it did get fixed, happend 4 times today, nothing to bad, just no pattern to it
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Well, I 'll take your word for it and give it a try this weekend!
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
We are using the overclock for months now and it didn't do any harm as far as i know :-)
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Okay so my OJ (Optical Joystick) just died on DeFroST as well... haha, this isn't funny anymore. We need to fix this guys...
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Okay so after my OJ died my battery has dropped 3% in the last half hour. Sigh...

I LOVE this ROM, but until that issue is sorted I'm gonna have to go back to a Sense ROM, as much as I hate it. :(

Richard, you and Adam have really done a great job with these AOSP ROM's, but this battery drain after OJ dying needs to be sorted out soon, I hope you guys can, because it basically makes the ROM unusable...
[Desire Android Development] danbrown162:
Best rom I've ever used! My OJ is still working thus far :)

720 with 30fps please :D
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Hmmm tried putting my own icons into the 2.7 framework file, finally got it to boot but now I can't actually load anything up, add any widgets, go into settings (everything force closes) and the app draw is incredibly choppy.

I didn't think this would cause any problems, but that's all I changed, didn't mess with any other files in the framework-res.apk file.

Any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Give it time... Unfortunately it WILL die. :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
OJ problem is a kernel bug. Nothing i can do but kali is working hard to fix (commited a test fix a couple of hours ago). Tomorrow i will put up a version of that kernel ( already compiled, but i need to sleep now)
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Awesome Richard, thanks for the info, I hope it is indeed a fix because this ROM is freakin' fantastic otherwise, my favourite by FAR! :)

Sleep well... :p
[Desire Android Development] benlaug:
Just a request : is it possible to have a package in DeFroST Setup to have the same bootscreen as OpenDesire ?
[Desire Android Development] saifiraq:
Thank you for the 720p recording :)

When I want to setup a vpn I get this(2.6a):

java.io.FileNotFoundException:

/data/data/misc/vpn/profiles/<some long number>/.pobj (no such file or directory)
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
I noticed the black screen with the pointer on the top left corner as well, but can't remember what caused this.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Really strange, cause OJ never died on me not once both in OD and Desfrost... must be lucky. :D

[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I have done this just fine for my Gefrost rom, obviously using Defrost as a base. The problem could be HOW you are adding icons.

Do you extract the framework res then re-zip? Because that's the problem.

You need to extract, edit the required icons/add new ones. Then add them back into the original archive making sure it replaces/overwrites the others. Rearchiving seems to be the problem.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Richard, small request as it seems to be popular. Is it possible to set up a download from within defrost setup to enable version c found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

Would make a LOT of people happy!

Cheers for cracking ROM too!!! :D
[Desire Android Development] alex86142:
Hello,

I am following this thread since like a week. First of all I want to say THANK YOU to richard. Great work though.

Yesterday I successfully flashed this ROM but now I have two Bugs.

1. My optical trackball does Not work properly.Sometimes you can't usw it for scrolling, just for clicking.After a reboot everything is fine.

2. LED notification with sms does not work for me ether.

Any ideas?

I did a full wipe and I am using launcher pro.

Greetings.

Alex
[Desire Android Development] westernmg:
Yes Please make the Battery Circle available, it is sooo much better then the actually intergrated battery Percentage.

Thank You for the great ROM!! Keep on your amazing work.
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Hmm that's pretty much how I did it, will try it again and see. Must be having a brain fart somewhere.

edit - so, extracted the framework-res.apk from the 2.7 ROM. Opened it in winrar, put in my icons to replace/rewrite and had it as 'store' so no compression on the files. Then try pushing this framework-res.apk file to /system/framework/ using adb. All goes fine, boots up and i have the icons. However everything forcecloses on opening. Really odd, never had a problem on 2.5a and feel i'm doing it all exactly the same way

Also tried editing it, re-adding tot he 2.7 rom and flashing, results in the same thing. Could be the icon's i'm using causing a problem?

Well, got it working and I have no idea what i did differently. Just started right from scratch (got all files again, extracted-readded etc) so perhaps the framework-res.apk file i used was slightly damaged. Thanks for letting me know it was possible ephumuris so I didn't give up!

OJ Test kernel UP

For all people that have problems with the OJ not working after some time please test the new OJ Test kernel+modules. You can Apply the update with DeFroST Setup.

OJ test kernel/modules 998Mhz

And please report back so i could integrate it for the other kernels also (1113 and 1267).
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Never had OJ dying yet, but installed it and will test it.

Thanks for your time and effort mate! BEST ROM EVER!!!
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Odd, having done a data/factory reset and then 2.7 I'm back up and running with DeFrost Settings. However after every reboot it asks me at least once and each time with varying options sometimes only launcher pro and ADW sometimes with 4 or 5 options. Have I missed something/mucked it up with the data/factory reset or missed some option?

Just updating.

First boot options are:

Launcher

ADW Launcher

First Home press are:

Launcher

ADW Launcher

launcherpro

quickdesk

Also I've noticed after a reboot ROM manager and LauncherPro always find an update, as though they've reverted to previous versions. Is this possible?

I'm now also getting multiple copies of programs installed to SD showing up. EG 2 copies of open sudoku in the apps drawer :S

Man I've smegged this up LOL. Awesome ROM (even more so now I've got my black bar back ;) )
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
See bug report (2.6) for fix.
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Anyone else find the application launcher is incredibly slow and laggy using 2.7 and launcherPro?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Glad you sorted it. That's usually the best idea to start from scratch lol. I've had loads of problems getting stuff working.
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
no problems here with launcherpro, everything smooth and fast
[Desire Android Development] alex86142:
Yeah me, also had a bug with a not properly working trackball and sometimes not responding while locked...

But fixed everything with uninstalling Launcher pro.

Seems that launcher pro isnt the smoothest option anymore.

Btw. anyone knows how to get a working LED reminder with Handcent?
[Desire Android Development] hybridnotts:
Hey Richard, any plans to make defrost roms compatible with Rom managers update check?
[Desire Android Development] maxpecas:
Hi, I have also my launcherpro plus very slow. It was lightening fast with 2.5a. It's very slow since 2.6a. It seems to be a memory management issue, no cache or something like that. When I have 3 screens and few widgets, it's ok, but when I come back to my 7screens full of widgets, it's start to lag a lot. Worked like a charm in 2.5a.
[Desire Android Development] joe_998:
Hi, flashed the oj test kernel about 45 mins ago and all good so far. Also been running launcher pro on 2.7 since last night and it's working perfect.

Cheers.

I LOVE THIS ROM
[Desire Android Development] Mitchou73:
Unlock graphic bug still there.

Thx again Richard, it's good to see you back
[Desire Android Development] JaymZ37:
Hi,

I flashed 2.7 update yesterday, everything works good.

I'd like to flash UVOC kernel, or test kernel, but there's no way to flash back the original kernel if I experience troubles ?

But great job on this Rom Richard, I will stay with it for a moment :)
[Desire Android Development] BrainMcFly:
did you tried the option "Keep in memory" from Launcherpro-Settings?
[Desire Android Development] vegardvg1:
I tried to do a clean install from 2.0 to 2.7, but first ROM downloader says that there were an download error on the radio, then when i install and everything finishes, it locks up on the green htc logo. Is there any fix?

hi

hi, why my camcorder crushes? phone was reboot all the time, when i turn on camcorder! :(

Hello all, I have a stripped out version of vista with no drivers on it, on an old computer, and I am trying to do usb tethering through my desire using defrost.

But I am having real trouble with the tethering driver. I can register the phone, but It hasn't loaded usb tethering driver with htc sync, and won't register the xp driver from android.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ps just noticed while writing this, with the new kernel, track pad isn't working. Sorry to say.

Sent from my 8-bit ZX Spectrum using semaphore.
[Desire Android Development] maxpecas:
@BrainMcFly,

Yes I tried. In fact I tried all the settings possible around memory management in LP settings, and Defrost settings, without big effect.

In fact, in 2.7, lp is smoother if I lower memory usage on lp settings unlike with defrost 2.5a where it was the contrary. It's like if I have less memory in my device with the new versions of defrost. It is weird.

Also I tried to wipe of course. And in both roms, 2.7 and 2.5a, I have the OC kernel...
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
There was a suggestion a few pages back that Defrost 2.7 uses more memory and that this problem goes away if you run with an Ext partition for app2sd+.
[Desire Android Development] Ceeefax:
Ahh didn't see that, I thought it might be something similar. Have rolled back to 2.5a for now, still waiting on the class 6 card I've ordered to arrive to for 'proper' app2sd+ for that.

Thanks!

OpenDesire Settings in DeFroST

Hi all:)

I wanted to give DeFroST a shot and flashed it onto my Desire coming from OpenDesire. I did:

- Boot into clockwork recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- wipe dalvik cache

- install zip from sdcard

- choose zip from sdcard (choose DeFroST_2.8a,zip)

Everythink is fine so far (I have DeFroST Setup, Titanium Backup, About phone has Mod version DeFroST 2.8a, Kernel version is 2.6.34.4-bravo-2.6.34-r1 trip@trip-laptop #17) BUT!:

Hitting MENU(hardware button) -> Settings -> DeFroST settings opens OpenDesire settings (window title: "OpenDesire settings", too )!!! Can someone please explain that to me, 'cause I really cannot understand this :(

Big thx, hope this is the right place to ask

Richard is basically using OpenDesire settings (which is basically Cyanogenmod settings). Richard just hasn't gone through and changed all the file names.

They are all the same app.

First, thanks your hardly work for support the rom so long time:D

Now I try to use the 2.8 ROM.

And found the 720p is very poor...:(

Whether this is a bug?

I found other rom support 23 frames/s.

[Desire Android Development] joe_998:
Hi, I have 2.7 at the minute and what started off as a great ROM has turned into the worst so far!! I just had to pull my battery because nothing was working. I took my phone out of my pocket and the lock screen wouldn't work so I hit the power button to turn screen off then on again, this has happened before and this fixed it but this time the phone just froze. Also having the problems mentioned with launcher pro. Are these issues fixed in 2.8?
[Desire Android Development] djind:
Voice commands crash when I try to add additional words by voice. Meaning to recipients, more text or anything. Not MAJOR major, but still annoying if it's force closing. Same for pressing 'speak now' in help menu > app crashes.
