Hey all ^^

Just if someone interest by that, i modified a few things on the defrost 6.0c' zip in order to earn free space (using MTD partitions).

So what i did ?? :

1:/ Download the 6.0c defrost rom :D

2:/ Unzip into a temporary folder the whole rom

3:/ I deleted apks from /data and from /system/app (choose what you don't want to use !, you can keep all)

4:/ I deleted the sounds in /system/media/*audio in each folders in it i only let a file (i got my own sounds on my sdcard in /media/audio/*

5:/ I changed the "bootanimations.zip" in /system/media to set mine which is 1mb less

6:/ I deleted PICO TTS' languages that i don't use (i'm french i let only the two fr files, but you can download each file from market)

7:/ Go in your defrost unzip folder and ZIP all to a new .zip file (that will be your install)

8:/ I set (for now to test) my mtd partitions to 125 (system) and 35 (cache : i play games :D) -> free space after install : 274 Mb, i think i can set less for system i'll try later with 110 or 115 ^^

That works perfectly !!!

I'm gonna make tests in order to set Custom MTD Partitions at the best !!

If interested by a howto from me just ask :D
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
You can edit the zip directly using 7zip (at least). No need to extract/re-zip....
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Brilliant work
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
i am running 6.0a atm. if i upgrade to 6.0c using defrost set-up, will i lose all my data/apps? also is it better to flash it manually (w/ full wipe) rather than using defrost set-up? did anybody have issues w/ using defrost setup?
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
Yes that's right but you can't add files with 7-Zip (or i don't know how to do) so i prefer doing a clean work ^^

Can you post your MTD partitions' configuration and your modifications ? :D
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
I add files no problems.

Allow me to find out what MTD partitions are before I answer the other bit without bullshitting ;-)
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
U can edit everything in the zip without having to unzip it using WINRAR. i have done this and made a zip file only 60MB

My question is how do u make a Custom MTD table? right now i'm using ALPHA REV's N1 Table
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
I followed this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321 :D

Now with my MTD of 125 35 and with my zip, i got for system 17 Mb free, so i'm gonna set it better ^^

For your easy way to do it just know that you MUST create the .txt like it says and set it in what you want for system then for cache and there you go ^^ (like for me : mtd 125 35)

I'm N1 Table to but with MTD custom partitions over it :D
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
a bit of a pain, u always have to reflash the second zip after flashing defrost. Wish it was like the n1 table and i never have to worry about it. just flash and go
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
anybody please?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
I have always used the defrsot set-up and has always worked great. You will not lose your data apps, the only reason for doing a full wipe and flash it is if you are experiencing problems, but other than that the most recommended thing is to use defrost setup
[Desire Android Development] godsosall:
Data remains intact. wipe is not required explicitly.
[Desire Android Development] ring_GT:
thanks. will upgrade from 6.0a to 6.0c using defrost setup then :D
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Failure at line 99

symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/clear

i always get error´s like this since 5.9 Builds! Cant use your rom since this! Always much files in /system/xbin/ are missing! Screenshot attached
[Desire Android Development] fixerDESIRE:
What's the difference between CFS and BFS?
[Desire Android Development] orgler:
Well, the problem is back with latest 6.0c and 875 havs bfs kernel.

Could you fix it once more?

-orgler
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Maybe there's something wrong with your partitions and thats the reason the rom doesn't get flashed alright (or no proper wipe). What the script is trying at that point is making a symlink which fails for whatever reason (there shouldn't be more apps in the xbin directory in the zip).
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
If you find how to make an .img flashing file like N1 table WITH our own settings that will be great that's sure !!

For now the only way to have and keep custom MTD partitions is to do this :mad:

A method to make .img with custom home made partitioning will be a must :D

@richardtrip : isn't it possible to add a menu before installing rom that let us choose partitioning ? (stop me if question is stupid :p)
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Well, i have Custom MTD Partitions (System @ 105MB Cache @ 25MB). But they should not affect the ROM flash. This is the only ROM that make´s problems for me. All other work fine while flash.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
+1, never had issues with data etc since s off so it's not a ROM issue as far as I can see.
[Desire Android Development] lukaswat:
Errrrrr, defrost is like ~125 MB when installed. Enlarge your system partition.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Depends. I only.remove gmail, HTC ime mid a.d you tube. 120 system, 8 spare
[Desire Android Development] marand1966:
When I download this, 6.0c, its only a 10Mb zip, it does not matter which mirror I use, is it not supposed to be 83Mb like the other full roms?

Also the Defrost setup wont install it, it claims the zip is bad.

Anyone had any issues with the zip?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
I can not install 6.c ROM from defrsot set up it fails to do it.

Does anyone have any suggestion?
[Desire Android Development] andreazd:
same problem here
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Ok i have to say i have removed much Apps! My Rom is around 70MB and all others i flash are 69 like Nightly Build of CM and all works fine... but not with DF...=(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
The size of the zip is smaller than the size of /system space required
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sounds like it is not fully uploaded yet.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
You mean in defrost setup or that i am installing it without being completely downloaded from my phone?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
I get this error:

Cant open /sdcard/defrsotsetup/Defrsot_6.c.zip(bad)

Installation aborted.

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report issue

Any ideas of how to update to 6.c
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Same issue with downloading 6.0c here, think it needs to be re-upped
[Desire Android Development] Joost007:
Does anyone know the most important difference between cfs and bfs i thougt it was cfs uses cpu general and bfs uses cpu random but whats the noticable difference cheers
[Desire Android Development] marand1966:
Looks like you are correct. The file is increasing in size with every download, so it would appear its not fully up yet.

Thank you. I will leave it a while and try again.
[Desire Android Development] mark2305978:
It's working now!!!
[Desire Android Development] hajen78:
Im not sure, but the BFS works best on my phone, no doubt.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Ok finally I was able to install 6.c via defrsot setup but as many of us here I am wonder if someone can tells what are the main differences between CFS and BFS??

Or a link where to get this info would be quite helpful
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
All files uploaded again to fix the tun.ko (base rom and all kernels).
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Does someone recommend BFS over CFS or viceversa? I have no idea which one to flash :/
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Any difference in the 6.0c HAVS+BFS from the 5th to this 6.0c HAVS+BFS from the 7th?
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
A google search for BFS scheduler brings up

http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/bfs-faq.txt

Which includes:

CFS ... varies timeslice length to try and preserve some

deadline list and it determines cpu distribution based on a run/sleep

relationship. It also is designed to scale to monster proportion hardware

that the common man will never see.

...

BFS is the Brain **** Scheduler. It was designed to be forward looking only,

make the most of lower spec machines, and not scale to massive hardware. ie

it is a desktop orientated scheduler, with extremely low latencies for

excellent interactivity by design rather than "calculated", with rigid

fairness, nice priority distribution and extreme scalability within normal

load levels.
[Desire Android Development] Joost007:
Im running bfs now i think its a little bit faster havs 1113 875 bfs
[Desire Android Development] krohme:
guys can i upgrade from Defrost 5.9 to the latest 6.0c from Defrost setup? Or should I wipe and flash from recovery?
[Desire Android Development] broderbluff:
Try upgrade, if there is any problems then wipe.
[Desire Android Development] Trustme:
Why is 6.0C not in Defrost setup yet? Only 6.0b is there now.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
I am now on 6.c using 6.c HAVS 1113 MHZ+CFS (875mV) with smartass overclocked to 1113600 and I am getting 1653 in quadrant.

Another great thing is that when using smartass there is not anymore that problem of waking up the device where you need to press several times the wake up button or wait 3 seconds, now it works smoothly great.

Thanks a lot Richard
[Desire Android Development] weirdNumber:
I cant read notifications when I drag the notification bar down because they are light grey with white text, what do I need to change to fix this?

There are so many items that you can change the colours of in cyanogen settings.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Bfs better for me. 1860 on demand. Still unsure what smartass is
[Desire Android Development] orgler:
I cannot confirm this with 6.c HAVS 1113 MHZ+BFS (875mV). I still have to long press the power button often...

Working around this with a profile for screen off to use power save governor...
[Desire Android Development] Atse:
s-off, rom update

I've just "S-off-ed" my phone and installed alpharev's N1 table, could anyone tell me if I need to do something more now when I update to a new version of DF? I'd hate to see those extra MB's of storage go away :P

Sorry if this has been covered here before, if so, please let me know and I will shut up and search better.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
If you already have defrost installed, you'll have to nandroid backup, then wipe cache/system/data, then restore your nandroid.

For a clean install, just full wipe and install, and you'll be up and running :)

The N1table hboot works great with AOSP roms..
[Desire Android Development] heyjoe66:
i've noticed one difference

on CFS LauncherPro runs laggy, on BFS it does not
[Desire Android Development] bbk:
What are included in "6.0c addon apps" ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
All the stuff that used to be standard. Download it and open too see
[Desire Android Development] Atse:
thanks for the very speedy reply :)

i'm already running df for quite a while now, and have just installed s-off and N1

so now if I want to update, I flash the new version of DF, then nandroid, wipe and then restore?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
With BFS there is the wake up issue with CFS there is none.

I am still confused which one to use :confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Buzmay was talking about the cfs kernel not the bfs kernel.
[Desire Android Development] krohme:
can we still use Pays theme for Defrost rom? I can't see it anymore in defrost setup :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
You can try to set the minimum scroll speed higher in the advanced settings of lp on cfs. It works for me (set it to 80)
[Desire Android Development] bbk:
This application
[Desire Android Development] macacao:
I'm going back do 6.0b since i'm having the following issues with 6.0c

- Brightness is kinda low when set to auto

- CM Battery percentage indicator is out of place

Anyone else with the same issues?
[Desire Android Development] Laridia:
Yeah, autobrightness seems to be broken, it just stays on minimum.

And the battery number is slightly off the side though I only noticed it when you said it.
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Yes - same for me. :-(
[Desire Android Development] craig432:
Hi Richard, I like your ROM and keep coming back to it. The only reason i use anything else is because I prefer the sense camera. I have seen this thread http ://forum.xda- developers.c om/showthread. php?t= 751897 and wondered if at some point you might try to get it working on your ROM.

Please delete spaces i'm not allowed to post links
[Desire Android Development] braaaii:
Same for me... And he is slower in Quadrant.
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
+1

- auto brightness not working properly.
[Desire Android Development] braaaii:
Do I need to wipe everything before I can instal 6.0b again or can i just install 6.0b over 6.0c?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Same issue here plus unstable. Bombing out couple mins after reboot. Went back to 6b. Just flashed it over (would have nandroid but issues with recovery, whole other story, anyway now back to CM from AR!), no wipe. All ok.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No wipe unless issues after flash. This question is asked on most pages of this thread
[Desire Android Development] route00:
and for me
[Desire Android Development] fenritz:
I am new with Defrost. I've installed Defrost 6.0c, I liked it very much, but I am experiencing random crashes and restarts. On some random action phone hangs and then shows animated X then system starts. While starting it hangs again and restarts again. After 3-5 times restarting system finally starts and works well, but after some time everything happens again.

Anyone experiencing the same? Are there any solutions?
[Desire Android Development] braaaii:
Perfect. Downgraded and he is much faster again.

I'm staying with this rom untill C will be better :)
[Desire Android Development] LaurensBER:
Any change for a new kernel with the GPU+ and 1267 mhz kernel?

Awesome work btw!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not many desires handle 1190 mhZ. 1267 no change imo
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
You can set any brightness level you want with Cyanogen settings.

Second note: of course the base rom is slower because of cfs scheduler. Flash a bfs and it should be just as fast as the 6.0b. Only issue left is the battery percentage :-)
[Desire Android Development] Trustme:
Theres a newer Radio than the list richard has in his first post I see in the Radio topic.

LATEST

- 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Recommended is .14, im still running that one on my DF 5.9 still, (Still need to upgrade, but I see above 6.0c is giving troubles, so ill wait for the next update and move over again).

But point is, anyone tried that new .27 radio already with DF. Is it better?? Or is still .14 recommended?
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
+1
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Richard stated a lot earlier in this thread that there will never vbe a higher mhZ than 1190
[Desire Android Development] Laridia:
Are you saying there is a way to fix autobrightness using CyanogenMod settings? My auto-brightness is totally broken and never adjusts under the latest version. I can set whatever brightness I want manually but that isn't as useful as auto-adjust.

Still love the ROM and can live with manual, just reporting the issue :) .
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
hi richard,

what was the reasoning behind moving from bfs to cfs? IMHO bfs is a much better scheduler for a mobile device than cfs, altough cfs could be better supported...
[Desire Android Development] bisko:
Check richard's signature and set accordingly, then reboot. See if it works. If it doesn't install another HAVS kernel and see if it works. That way it worked for me (flashed another kernel).
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Still not better. Autobrightness is broken. Tried BFS and CVS.
[Desire Android Development] alendar:
Hello everyone, I've got 2 little questions: I've just this ROM on my Desire yesterday, made the different update with Defrost Setup, and I'd like to know some things:

- Is there a way to see only the update in Defrost Setup (I've installed the Apps v6.0c vut they are still in the update section)?

- Is there a notification (in the task bar for exemple) that says that updates are avaiable, or have I to check with Defrost setup sometimes?

Thanks for the answers!
[Desire Android Development] braaaii:
The new radio works fine by me. Long battery, stable and perfect connection.
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
what is the n1 table for? Is it recommend for defrost?
[Desire Android Development] Tyderion:
6.0b HAVS +BFS 875mv was stable (w clicks for wake). 6.0cid Not.

a lockscreen Bug: it is lit but not touch responsive.

just for your info
[Desire Android Development] ikabot:
Hi,

Using DeFroST 6.0b, and it's working great. But here is an issue related to wifi.

The university's network uses WPA-Enterprise for authentication and access to the network. I download the certificates, I configure them and the connection works with no problem. But if I reboot the phone (or switch off-switch on), the desire tries to connect to the network but it can't because the credentials are protected by a password... but it never asks for the password!! I have to wait two or three fails, and then the network is marked as "Disabled". Then, I connect it manually and now it asks for the credentials password. I input the password and the connection is made.

Is that a bug?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
The n1table partitions your phone in the same way Google dev phones are partitioned. This means you have more room in /data so you can install more programs without having to worry about space.

DeFrost uses Apps2SD+ which means that if you have an ext3 partition on your SD card, the phone treats that partition as an internal one. Programs automatically get installed there. So for DeFrost, the n1table is not necessary.

CyanogenMod for instance doesn't use the special Apps2SD+ so when using their rom you can easily run out of space. But not with n1tabel. It is also less error prone than apps2sd. See more info on alpharev's website...
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:
Have you tried TransProxy 3.08? I go to University of Melbourne, and it works perfectly there, and they use WPA-Enterprise with a proxy server.

I also have a question, since i'm new to DeFrost (Been using OpenDesire up until three days ago - Keep up the good work, DeFrost crew!).

Do I need to reset between updates? Or can I just flash 6.0c over 6.0b?

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] stoske:
I am using 6.0b HAVS +BFS 875mv for couple days now and I must say its perfect.

I get 2 day battery life with medium usage (3G always on, music, 1h of talk, couple SMS...)
[Desire Android Development] ikabot:
Thanks for the tip Ratmatix.

But the only drawback is that it doesn't automatically ask for credentials... just that. I hope it can be solved.

[Desire Android Development] DimonDroid:
When will PaysFrost theme be available woth 6.0c?
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
Thanks a lot for this man I really appreciate it. I do not understand why they do not put this kind on info on alpharev's website, been there and tried to figure it out. Either is to technical language or I am stupid, (which must probably is the second option :) )

What I get is that if a ROM supports App2SD then it should not bee necessary or?

Again thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] buzmay:
You can just flash 6.0c over 6.0b via defrost setup without the need of wiping data. Your apps and data will also remain untouched.

You shall ONLY wipe data and flash if you are experiencing problems, which for me this has never ever happened.

So to not confuse you with my bad English, just use defrost setup for updating to future kernels and/or roms and you should be fine.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
You're welcome. It is hard to find, took me a while as well.

True, you don't necessarily need it for DeFrost since it uses Apps2sd. However, the N1table layout is safer. Of course, I never had problems with Apps2Sd and I really never heard anyone complaining, but it could in theory damage your SD card. So, n1table is more safe. But personally i think your fine now just using Apps2sd.

(if you do want to use the N1table, read this post. Excellent post by Kali: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8504-gapps-package-updates/page__p__75149#entry75149.)

LATEST Radio:

- 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Recommended is .14 from the first post of this topic, im still running that one on my DF 5.9 (Will update later).

Anyone tried that new .27 radio already with DF. Is it better?? Or is still .14 recommended?
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
I'm sure I've seen it mentioned in this thread but can't find it now - running 6.0b, and caller names don't show on incoming calls, just the phone number. What's the fix?

One last thing if I have 1.5 version do I have this thing or i need to flash it manually?

Thanks a lot for this info, was trying to get my head round it this weekend too!

Only issue I see is if going back and forth between non-sense/sense roms you would need to flash different hboot tables (the risk is greater for bricking the phone when messing with hboot if yeah?) but if both roms use a2sd+ then just leave the ext3. However, on the other hand, it gives you back sd card space for standard storage...hmmm. Oh and i didn't realise Cyanogen didn't use a2sd+...that's put the brakes on going to that one for now!
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
The 1.5 is the standard one, so the one that originally came with your desire. You'll have to download the N1table and flash it in fastboot as described in Kali-'s post.

But read BashyUK's post, if you switch regularly between Sense - Non-sense Roms, then it's best just to use Apps2sd...

can i flash the rom over 5.9 safely, or wipe and start again ?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
No need to wipe, most users are fine with just a wipe of dalvik-cache. However, when you're experiencing problems, you can alway do a full-wipe later. (and nandroid backup when upgrading just to be sure!)
