1.6

1.6 is fine with the following exceptions we found

1. battery charge light not working

2. goggles not working

3. vid recording not working

4. exchange not sync

5. if your usernames 'Barrons' it wont allow spamming of cutting edge rom build requests on xda forum :p

if you can live with that youll find its much faster and runs cooler on the battery

[Desire Android Development] neoDite:
Loving your ROM Adam.

But PLEASE don't add the black top-bar to your ROM's

They are a theme and if people want them they can add them, your ROM is stock, please don't mess it up with the looks from HTC :(

Black is very tacky looking
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
+1

+1 I agree

I would like to see this as close to google's vision than anyone elses, all 3rd party modifications should be optional addons for the user with the exception of additions which bring genuine performance benefits to the platform.
[Desire Android Development] :
how come i cannot reach anything more than 34 on linpack?

I installed the setcpu.txt on root of the sd card but it doesn't do anything.

Installed setcpu too but i cannot change the clock over 998mhz...

Any suggestion? First rom on desire so i'm pretty new on this device.

Regards,

Daemon
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
barely worth the effort since your 1.6 pre-release

not worth loosing sleep over its pre-release to be outmoded shortly.

Hold tight :cool:
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
I agree. It should be optional. Android default is usually the best solution, and mods can be added by the user.
[Desire Android Development] dargolf:
Am I the only one whose wifi isn't working properly? My Desire won't connect..

Also I'm not getting market update notifications. I always need to open the market and check the download tab. I don't get notifications although apps are marked as "Update" there..
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
+1:...........
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
wifi moofies

have you tried since a factory / full wipe & reconfigure?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
I have problems with the market. Some apps are downloaded but not installed.
[Desire Android Development] x2srj:
just leave them and they will eventually install; happened to me yesterday...
[Desire Android Development] marksteel:
Same here. However, I seem to have that problem with other Froyo Roms too.

Any ideas why anyone??
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
+1 on the removing of the Black Status Bar. This ROM should stay totally vanilla!
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
odd please elaborate

are you certain they are apps with icons in program panel as opposed to widgets which dont have icon in program panel are placed on straight to desktop?

what are the names of the apps your having problems with?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] marksteel:
In my case, it is whatever I try to download from the market. It downloads then gets stuck on Installing. ALSO, when i tried reflashing this rom again (after wipes for everything) Apps that I backed up through titanium which managed to reinstall can't be uninstalled??
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Right now I have problem with upgrading Titanium backup to latest version och the app Compass. But I had some problems with other apps aswell.

If I start to upgrade/install several apps is it often the first one that doesnt install.
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
no suggestions but turn it off n on again! fresh install

dunno what to suggest short of turn it off n on again! fresh install

havnt seen any other reports of this issue.

Bump!
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
ahh!

tried this ?

http://javadude.wordpress.com/2009/...oid-without-setting-back-to-factory-settings/
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
I upgraded from 1.3a to 1.5. When 1.6 is out I will do a wipe and fresh install.
[Desire Android Development] newbieee:
how to install

Thanks for great work AdamG!

I would greatly appreciate if you could upgrade the installation instructions to be able to read for BFUs.

What does the "* Ensure you have a custom recovery image installed" mean? Where should i get this image? I did just nandroid backup..

I've got rooted phone, but nothing more (no App2SD, no SDcard repartitioned yet). I copied the unpacked OpenDesire.zip to the root of my SD card (data, sdcard, system DIRS, boot.img FILE and that's all what i've got on my SDcard). Where i can get the update.zip which i should run from the recovery? Should i use again the files i used to root my phone (r6-desire-root-alt)? Because only there is update.zip file.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] baklawa:
The easiest for you is probably to install ROM Manager from the market and then the first option downloads the recovery mod (flash recovery)
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Strange. I got the same problem with setrom3.2. When I restore the apps with titanium or mybackup the apps don't appear in thee market. The market links were saved and the same backup worked with OpenDes 1.6. So something is wrong there. The backups are useless when the market links aren't working...

Restored bought apps appeared correctly as installed in the download window though.
[Desire Android Development] jj_glos:
Thought I'd give this ROM a go after using DeFrost for a while. Looks good, although I can't logon to my Twitter account? Just get incorrect username/password error (and it's not).
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
those of you running the pre-release. Its no point telling Adam about bugs as its a pre release and he knows that it will be buggy.
[Desire Android Development] newbieee:
Thanks for the app. So i should repartition with the app first, then install app2sd and then install ROM from the app (all from the app menus)?
[Desire Android Development] noble8:
Partitioning will wipe all the data on your sdcard, backup accordingly. App2sd is set up using a script included with the rom. After you have partitioned simply flash the rom using fake-flash or some alternative.

Edit: You should also wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache before flashing the rom.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Well no. Check with his known bug post. If he knows about it, it should be there. If not, it is a bug which should be reported.
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
Does the pinch to zoom still work or is that included in the sense stuff?

Also does HTC sync still work on the pc with this?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
pinch to zoom works

HTC sync will only work on Sense ROMs
[Desire Android Development] Wlashack:
Hi, guys, I wonder, that the v.1.6 will be released soon, because you have told yesterday release to midnight, but nothing. Also, I can`t wait :) Hold the line boys, ROM is great!
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
Adam is working on it but he went on Holidays for 1 week today, so let him enjoy his (well deserved) time off : )

When he has something to give us I know he won't hold back, don't worry.
[Desire Android Development] Wlashack:
OK, that i don`t knew. Lets recharge your power AdamG for next great job :)
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
downloaded the 1.6 prerelease,

sorry to ask a total noob question about flashing it to the rom...

i have only rooted once using a gold card

and changed roms usin rom manager..

can i use this pre release with the rom manager using the install from SD card.

or is their another way..
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
Please add the FB sync fix. :)

Thanks for a great ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes

just put it on your SD card, go into ROM manager and choose install from SD and choose wipe data and cache.
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
About to install 1.6 will it wipe all my apps installed on the partitioned part of the sd card as i see its best to do a wipe and everything
[Desire Android Development] Skimi:
VANILLA

+1 for totally vanilla!
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
Yeap. Do a full wipe and install it with rom manager. No problem m8.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes it will

backup apps using titanium backup
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
I didn't like the 1.6 Pre that much, because the music mod didn't work anymore and I don't like the black notification bar and green buttons.
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
can i use my gold card instead to install the rom?? like swap sd cards?

i used backup pro
[Desire Android Development] spamoi:
Hello all.

Thank for this rom :)

But where is the FM tuner?
[Desire Android Development] Wlashack:
Well, I like black status bar (and I didnt solve running it on 1.5) but Music Mod doesn`t work - thats bad news. Hope for fixing it (and also a FB sync)

Nowhere. This ROM didnt contains any FM Tuner app (in future maybe fixed, be patient).
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes you can use a different card but even if you use a different card and then put old card back in, none of your apps will be there still as Android dont know they exist. My backup pro works too. Just backup everything you need with it, do full wipe and then flash and restore your backup.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Wipe the market.
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
cheers man. so ill just have to re create the partition again after?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
nope the wipe does not delete the partition
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
so why wont it know where the roms are?
[Desire Android Development] m2toby:
3G signal is better than 2G signal in my country. Could you enable "3G ONLY" option?
[Desire Android Development] pelawaks:
In the stock rom, you can go to networks setting and choose 'WCDMA only' option..

But I don't see that option in this opendesire rom, so I do it by using testing menu (press *#*#4636#*#*) and select wcdma only in phone info section..

Actually it's a bit troublesome to do it that way, I hope there is a shortcut in the networks setting since I need to regularly change between 2g/3g only prior to the nature of the signal in my location, (or maybe there is already a shortcut but I didn't notice?)

Cmiiw
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
edit: delete post
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Settings > wireless > mobile settings and tick use only 2G networks
[Desire Android Development] pelawaks:
Okay, I know that you can set 2g only by using that setting, but if you untick it, it will not take you back to the '3g only' condition, but only '3g preferred' condition..

So it still doesn't have 2g/3g only shortcut...?
[Desire Android Development] bankbh:
Great version of Froyo. Have been running with this for about a week and are just getting more and more excided for the version.

The only question i got is, do any of you have problem when trying to sync with facebook??

I can't get any information from facebook on to my contacts in the phone.
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
Hi. Loving this version however I can't seem to import my contacts from the sim

Any idea why?

Stret
[Desire Android Development] m2toby:
Thanks for you help ^_^
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
I had same issue but on second attempt it worked
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
New Kernel!

Hey Adam, is there a chance to integrate the 2.6.33 kernel in your ROM?

I hate the high mem bug! HTC sells a great phone with 576MB RAM and Android can only use 399MB.

It looks like Apple's policy: "It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Edit: Okay .. 2.6.33 comes with Android 2.3. Wait is announced
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
It wont work.... what will happen if I do a factory reset.. will it mess the phone up cost its rooted?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
You will still have your root.
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
Thanks ill try that
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Working on 1.6, there are files missing from the 2.2-RELEASE android git which was stopping me building it so I took the missing files from the MASTER tree, when udK releases his 2.2 HTC radio expect a much more complete OD and bleeding-edge release :)
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
Teaser... Good to hear!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Its not a teaser its a fact, many of our problems are down to the lack of a 2.2 compatible radio, and it would be very easy for me to a push a complete froyo release if we had the correct radio.
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Did u contact him about this?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Yes it seems he wants to release it himself :/ I only wanted the radio and not his 2.2 froyo rom but he was having none of it.
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Thats sad, I wonder why its not already somewhere on net (at least the radio).
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
its due tonight anyways :P

youll have it sooner or later, btw adam, are you planning to include the sense UI in any of your future releases ?!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
OpenDesire is vanilla aosp source rom, I might start another thread with Sense.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
I'm assuming the HTC phone apk alone isn't enough to use it because it requires HTC framework for SenseUI?

The HTC phone app is much better than the stock Android one as if the contacts app as it allows you to assign contacts to groups in gmail unlike the stock app.

Would be nice to be able to use the HTC phone and contacts app!
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Would love to see what you make off the sense UI :)
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
OpenDesire gave me blue and orange blinking notifications (not green). is that normal?

i do love it.
[Desire Android Development] Borok34:
I'm curious about leo parts. It doesn't seem to change any of the settings in there (htc ime, new livewallpapers etc). Anyone can confirm that or am i doing something wrong?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Here too. I'm using the HTC IME of Jonasl:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

It works perfect and the theme-generator is useful.

This is your Version:

htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27
[Desire Android Development] deepsweet:
for me too.
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
Would make better sense tbh (no pun intended)

I prefer the vanilla feel of Android over Sense. Would it really need baking into an entirely seperate ROM, or could it not just be released as a seperate update package?

But yeah, please keep OpenDesire as a vanilla AOSP build!! It would ruin it from how you originally described what you were going when you first started if you did have any extensive modifications.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
fantastic work!

Hi,

Really great job on this. I've been running it since last night. Fast, low battery use (using it with juice defender), no echo (I've called many people and no complaints). VERY happy.

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Adam are you close to releasing 1.6 final?
[Desire Android Development] alonso_7:
can anyone tell me what's the use of a nandroid backup is?if I made one before I put a Rom on desire I will then copy the nandroid folder to my pc in order to use it when I return back to the same Rom I use before the flash?help me I'm a noob!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Nandroid is so you can restore your phone exactly to how it was before you did the backup. You dont need to move the folder to your pc to use it but you can do that as a secondary backup in case your SD card gets corrupted. You can leave them on your SD and then if you flash a new ROM and dont like it then just use ROM manager or recovery to restore your backup.
[Desire Android Development] alonso_7:
thank you my friend!if i understand good you mean that if from stock for example i put opendesire and i don;t like it i restore the nandroid backup and go back to stock!but if i put another rom and make another nandroid backup the folder is overwritten?
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
The Rom-Manager takes the actual date und time to generate a name. On manual backups you could give it your own name.

With nandroid you can only get back to the Stock-Rom with root, not to factory stock
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
No it wont be overwritten, if you make a backup of a stock ROM and install OpenDesire and then do another backup then you will have 2 backups.
[Desire Android Development] alonso_7:
i am totally understand what you've said!thanks a lot for the help!
[Desire Android Development] DaisyF:
Status bar out of sight - full screen view

(I've read the last forty pages of this thread without finding an answer.)

If I swipe up on the status bar (top of page) then it scrolls up and out of sight. I can still swipe down to read notifications. But I want to know how to get the status bar back in its original position. If I reboot, all is back okay until I mistakenly swipe up.

Does this sound familiar?

Thx

Df
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
Yes its in settings of adw.launcher. it has nothing to do with any rom I guess..

tampiss
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
oh god, am i the only one with a random reboot problem with OD1.5?

i don't mean the bootloop, it will reboot itself while i'm actually using the phone every few mins.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
I've had 2 reboots I think. Both while tinkering in Leo Parts.

If you experience frequent reboots I suggest that you wipe it and/or reflash. Wiping seems to solve most problems
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
i did wipe everything, userdata, apps, extsd..... whatever i could find in clockwork.

just couldn't make OD1.5 work on my phone. Guess i'll have to wait for 1.6 then :(
[Desire Android Development] DaisyF:
You're a lifesaver. It was getting on my nerves :)
[Desire Android Development] xataxxx:
Are you not supposed to be on holiday? Nice seeing you working on the rom though! :)

Wanted to report that although during charging there is no led but it does glow green nicely when its full.
[Desire Android Development] jj_glos:
In the main I'm not having any issues with this ROM (part from being unable to log into Twitter). The battery life is very poor though, I'm going to flash again to see if it helps, but just having the phone on my desk it is down to 60% after 8 hours.

edit: make that 55%
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
LOL. mine battery lasted for two days on this rom, witch i think is realy good.

try to use advanced task killer
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
İs there someone else have gps problem like me.it is not be able to Find my location on google maps
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
1.6 is now built and ready, I'm just doing a little more testing, I can confirm SurfaceFlinger is working and I think a few of you will enjoy this little mod :)
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Thanks!!

Your awesome
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
SurfaceFlinger battery mod
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
nice :)

btw did you talk to meLIanTQ about FB sync fix?
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
Oh yeah! :)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Were you able to get the new radio ?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
udK is not sharing anything including even the radio :/

i sent him a message no reply yet, i am still to look into it myself, not had time yet
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
That's a shame, now we have to wait for the 720p recording :)
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
I've had similar problems with all versions. Stock, modded 2.1 or 2.2 - overnight (8 hrs) in Airplane mode I often lost 30-40%.

Try the following:

a) Disable Location options (GPS AND Wifi/Mobile)

b) Disable automatic Date/Time

I did both and didn't have those problems anymore (had them since nearly 2 months - not every night, but every 3rd or so). I also checked with aLogCat and I saw that the phone regularly checked for location and time during night (but everything was off!). Also disable Geolocation service in Beautiful Widget which also causes many problems.
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Does the final 1.6 still have the black status bar?

I hope not. :D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
ah ok

his ROM has broken network though. So not sure if his FB fix caused that or not.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
yes why is this a problem?

the htc original bar is black
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Not for me, if the H from hsdpa is working :)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
erm HSPA does work, just because the icon doesn't show, it doesn't mean it's not working
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Because this rom should stay vanilla, that's what I like so much about it.

Can't you make black or white bar optional with a update.zip?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I know, just a wannahave thing :), maybe later with your other updates.
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Do you have a timeframe when will 1.6 be published
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
Adam please do not forget about Facebook sync problems with contacts!

Thanks a lot and keep up the very good work!:D
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
İs someone else's problems with gps
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
No works fine over here.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Here also no problems.
[Desire Android Development] krokodyl:
GPS - no problem
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
What is your version
[Desire Android Development] krokodyl:
My version 1.6 pre....
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
Also 1.6 pre
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
GPS fine

GPS fine , any of these rom editions.
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
I was just dropping in to say thanks for your work AdamG! Just rooted my Desire and installed your ROM two days ago, and I must say that it has made my phone better in many ways. Looking forward to 1.6 :)

One question though; I can no longer "pinch" on the homescreen to zoom or change screens, but this works perfectly in the browser. Is the "pinching" a Sense thing only?

Also, the GPS is now working better than ever!
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Yes, but you can get it too with LauncherPro or ADW Launcher.
[Desire Android Development] Frools:
yes, personally i use launcher pro (search market) which also has this functionality and a bunch of other useful stuff
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Adam, when do you think you're able to post your 1.6 rom?
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
Thanks guys! LauncherPro seems nice :)
[Desire Android Development] baklawa:
+1 !!!!!

I also appreciate this ROM just because it's pure Android and not 'HTC android'. I wish I could keep the white bar
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Ok you have all twisted my arm, I will remove the black bar from 1.6 :)
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
I would like for the white bar to be the default as well, with the black bar available separately. The black bar looks really out of place on a vanilla rom.

Thanks for all your hard work AdamG
[Desire Android Development] cTrox:
Great! I really love how you are listening to the community!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
:(

could you have upload it as a add on?

or will the one for 1.4 work?
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Is it possible to remove URL BAR/STATUS BAR(whatever you call it) ?

For example while i'm watching video it appears on top.

In stock HTC Desire it was disappearing automaticly but it's not in froyo

Can you make something for it ?
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Noooooooooooo the black bar is better than the stock white one :(
[Desire Android Development] neoDite:
The black bar is a theme tho :p Don't want themes on a custom ROM, thats upto the user ;)
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
+1 agreed i will only flash the black one over the top anyway. i want the cooler battery thing to the round circle one, that was posted in this thread
[Desire Android Development] meLIanTQ:
Open Desire now with fb sync fixe , i send to adamg ;)
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
good man :)
[Desire Android Development] DanTehManUK:
Sorry for the newbie question just back on the Android train after Apple wouldn't fix my iPhone (Used to have a G1)

BUT,,

with this ROM (which is running quite swimmingly on my Desire) how do I get the top bar to go back to being black??:confused:
