Regarding battery I would recommend as you did earlier in this post to use setCPU with a screenoff profile. With the same apps and the same use I get two days of battery duration while without setCPU I got only one or a little more doing the same: 3G always on, sending/receiving mails/tweets/etc, some calling and playing a little with the apps/phone.

For the ones who havent tested yet is as easy as getting setCPU and adding the following profile:

- Condition: Screen Off

- Max/Min: 245000

- Governor: Interactive/On Demand/Powersaver

- Priority: 100

This way the CPU speed lowers from 245/998 to 245/245 when you turn off the screen and the lower the CPU runs, the less battery it needs. :D
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
howdy, re installed this rom now its looking more stable,

got one problem... when i press the dialer button for the phone it says application is not installed on your phone

:confused:
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Install from a clean wipe/reset along with dalvik cache wipe.
[Desire Android Development] simonthor:
Is the new rom uploading?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Nope.

[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
When I say plain I mean as close to froyo as you can get. Maybe I'm misusing the term (only recently got an Android phone). Although after reading this post I'm nicely reassured. I have no real issues with it at the moment, I suppose I just don't want to see it turn into something like CM6, which I have nothing really against... just not the kinda thing I'm after. But yeah after reading that I'm happy.

Just been on v2.3a during a 7hr M25 gridlock and it performed great so I am looking forward to the update tonight.

i see the change log for 2.4 yay... soon i guess it will be released.. ?

Hi dnlgee,

your photos is on 2.3a or latest version of this ROM? D'you know When'd Adam upload this ROM? Maybe some final check b4 posting huh...
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
That is for 2.3a mate.

2.4 is still being developed, Adam ran into a few minor problems and obviously isn't going to push it out if it's not satisfactory :)
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
I'm waiting for this new release & not yet install 2.3a. I wonder if 2.3a ROM can play wma audio well? As other Froyo cannot atm.
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
Kernel 2.6.34.1 has the charging issue that the phone will discharge to 99% and then begin charging again.

With the latest fix from PaulW21781 this issue is gone. Unfortunately I do not think Kali- has put that fix into 2.6.34.1 yet.

Do you know if Adam is going to apply that patch to 2.6.34.1 for his ROM 2.4?
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Aargh my phone was fine all day yesterday and when I went to bed it had 30% remaining. Woke up 6 hours later and it had run completely dry and switched off. I really dunno what the issue is. Will try 2.4 again but will have to switch for now... :-(
[Desire Android Development] marcd:
Does anyone find that set CPU is a bit unstable using the desire. Nothing to do with this rom as I have had to do a battey pull on multiple varients.

I had to do one this morning when I went to unlock my phone. I only have it set to 245/245 screen off. I know the developer claims that desire is still in beta but I find it too unstable to use everyday.
[Desire Android Development] neitin:
I thought I am unique to this issue, it happened to me as well I have 29% remaining when I slept with background sync and exchange sync off, morning after 6 hours or so, notice phone is off.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I've had a few problems, but never would have thought to blame SetCPU, and as far as I can tell, lots of other people here are using SetCPU too. What happens if you completely uninstall SetCPU on this ROM? OnDemand with 998/245 MHz?

Might be worth a shot to just uninstall it altogether...
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
I had a switch off the other night too, was at least 25% when I went to bed.
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
So when 2.4 comes out, how do I manage to update without losing my settings and apps? Or do I have to wipe anyway
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
I have upgraded and it's worked fine, even skipping revisions, although I'm not sure how recommended that is.

Even though it works I tend to wipe anyway as it just feels more reassuring.

I use LauncherPro and that lets me backup the home screens. And then AppBrain to quickly install all the apps I use.

Although if there's an easier way I'd be grateful if someone let me know!
[Desire Android Development] :
upgraded to 2.4 ?
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
Hell yeah, there is a much easier way... Take a look at TitaniumBackup ;)
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Yup, this works for me, except for sms. Not sure why. For SMS's I use "SMS Backup and Restore" from the market.
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
No, sorry I just mean in general.

Excellent, thanks. I will check it out.

I use one that syncs all my SMS to my Gmail account which is great.
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Flashed again and haven't loaded any of the mods I use like blackbar, so will see how it goes now...
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Where can I get the blackbar mod for 2.4 as well as a battery percentage mod?
[Desire Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Dont think there is one that has been tested on 2.4 yet as its not been released yet just the changelog updated.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Ahh Right! Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Dryrd:
If you go back a few pages the blackbar is posted in this thread, I would post links but it wont let me as its an external link ;):eek:
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I'd recommend Titanium Backup for the apps and their data (including settings). System settings... not sure if I'd restore those with Titanium Backup across different ROM versions, although you should theoretically be fine.

I'm also wondering whether I'll wipe when I update to the next version... maybe I'll just upgrade without wiping and see if it works well - if not, I guess I can always still wipe afterwards and then restore my Titanium backup.

But whatever you do, use Titanium Backup before upgrading! :p
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
If I have an EXT3 partition (I am coming from DeFroST), do I leave that intact, or wipe everything and restore using Titanium?

In Titanium, if I backup everything, I have to be selective when I restore right? I don't want to restore duplicate programs, or overwrite versions of programs that come with OD.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
As far as I know, traditional Apps2SD with the EXT partition looks just like regular phone storage to Titanium Backup. Wiping the EXT partition and then restoring with Titanium backup should work, but I'm not sure what would happen if you didn't wipe the partition. If you try it, please tell us what happened ;)
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
I 've used and tested SetCPU for 1 month with about ten roms. My personnal conclusion is that is it as usefull as a Task Killer : you feel you manage your system better but Android 2.2 does it at least as well by itself.
[Desire Android Development] jpxdude:
This is a great rom, and I was using it fine until I encountered some weird issues with it.

* I found that after a bit of use, the trackpad dies, and can't be used until the Desire is powercycled.

* I've been using this rom with radio 5.08.00.04, and battery life hasn't been very good. I think it drains about twice as fast as the stock Desire rom, and same radio.

* Yesterday, I kept receiving low storage warning messages, and the phone refused to boot up correctly, coming up with lots of failed/force closed messages. I was wondering if anyone knew what might cause this, as I had only installed about 10 apps on my device. I had to clear storage to get the rom working again.

I have since reverted to stock using my Nandroid backup, mainly because of the scary low storage problems, but I do like OpenDesire! Great work, I look forward to your next update :)
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
To all those with trackball issues, try applying the trackball wake mod (search this thread for the link). I have never had this issue, and I use this mod.
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
Thanks for the reactions. Installed Titanium and backed all up. Can't wait for 2.4 (want 720p and flashlight hehe) but so far this mod has been GREAT to me. Don't think I will ever go back to Sense
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Browser text reflow after pinch zoom

To AdamG & all developers,

Is there any way possible to make the text in web brower automatically reflow after pinch zoom? (Not double click, of course)

We all noticed that with SenseUI ROMs, it's by default but when switch to non-Sense Froyo ROM, this function no more.

I think this is one point that we should look into it. (no more every time double click to make text reflowed)

Dear Adam,

I know you work very hard atm for 2.4 version coz many many things there. So, pls keep good health & take care.

Waiting for your new ROM every minute.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] codeXcalibur:
Enter about:debug in the address bar and then go into settings, there you could change this behaviour (don't know exactly which setting it was)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Something about reformatting to fit the screen, IIRC...
[Desire Android Development] stasooon:
why provisional 720p recording

ups sorry i'm new here..
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
I think the 720p function is only a patch, not a official feature.

Therefore, it is just provisional in the hope of a official release.

But that's only my presumption :)
[Desire Android Development] tobren:
psx4droid problem

I also can't get psx4droid to work. I tried several bios bin files and together with several games. Two of the games were reported to work.

There are users that reported Froyo to be working. But others said that CM6 RC2 kernel as well wouldn't work with it.

So at the moment I think it is a kernel problem of OpenDesire 2.3 together with psx4droid.

But is there anybody that has OpenDesire 2.3a working with psxdroid???
[Desire Android Development] eugene19:
I downgraded to opendesire 1.6a and psx4droid now works.

So I really think that the problem is the kernal.

Neither 2.3 or 2.3a works.
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
Anyone had trouble with messages being grouped wrongly? Just had a text from my new broadband provider appear in the thread where my bank texts usually are!
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I'm curious about the 16MB extra memory Adam unlocked :)
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Is there anyone tried exchange mail on this ROM ?
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
@ Mr AdamG:

Can you please give a status of OD 2.4? :) Please tell that it will be released within the next hour :D

You are truly the man of Android, in my opinion...

Looking so much forward to 2.4...

Thank you...

/CK
[Desire Android Development] tedman:
I use Exchange with OD 2.3a without any problems. Somtimes I do miss the possibilty to browse through the address book of Exchange (company directory) which is present when using HTC Mail with Sense.... but oh well...

Jyst saw that AdanG changed to upcoming version to 2.3b instead of 2.4. I guess it will be here real soon :)
[Desire Android Development] j_simon208:
I am unable to disable UI sounds and enable the black status bar listed under the SPARE parts that was included in this rom. Anyone care to msg me a fix or something?
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
I can confirm number 1. The auto-brightness is not working well; The brightness is set correctly when turning on the screen, but while the screen is on, the brightness doesn't change.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Spare parts doesn't work properly, go to your settings and then sounds to disable some ui sounds.
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
have an issue setting up my pop3 pipex mail account on this rom.

my googlemail one went in fine no messing,

but when i try and set up my pipex one i have issues on the outgoing server set up.

was working fine on my previous custom rom but cant get it to work on this one.. any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] Xexx:
This is the only rom I can boot now

Hi,

Since I installed this rom this is the only one that works. I have spent a couple of hours trying to find out why but failed.

Booting with other roms (have tried a bunch others including "sensefroyo_v1.0c" and "LeeDrOiD_V1.6" only shows white backgound with htv logo in middle. Nothing else on screen.

What in earth did I do wrong? :)

BR,

Xerxes
[Desire Android Development] noble8:
Did you do a full wipe/factory reset before flashing each of those roms? Also it wouldn't hurt to run the new radio.
[Desire Android Development] Xexx:
Yes I have done full wipe + I have radio 5.09.00.08 so that should be ok.

Ps.

I did run LeeDrOiD_V1.6 yesterday and that worked... then.
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
Tried booting without the Sd Card in the phone?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Have you got an EXT partition on your SDCard?
[Desire Android Development] Xexx:
Yes, it´s an ext4 I think.
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Try using ext3. It's more compatible
[Desire Android Development] sbricout:
ext4 is not supported
[Desire Android Development] Xexx:
Yes, it´s the same thing. Only logo and nothing happens. This is so strange :)

Maybe a should start from scratch unroot, root etc but it is strange to me that this rom works but none of the other maybe five I have tried.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Try using EXT2 or 3.
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
Not that I really care, but the extra keyboards that come with spare parts don't work?

overall still really happy, been running this rom couple of days. thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Xexx:
Well in my backhead I knew that ext4 was not supported.

Works now :)

Thank you both!
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
If you'd read the thread back a few pages you'll see that they do - they don't actually come with spare parts, you have to install them.

install the HTC_IME mod manually and activate it using spare parts.
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:
Argh, so many pages to read through.

I've got a problem. Before going to bed last night, I fully charged my phone and then unplugged it. This morning, I was suprised to see I only had 66% battery left...

What could be causing this?

If I view the battery usage panel, I see that Android OS is using 44%.

Any ideas what's eating up the battery?
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
Got the same problem, mate...

/CK
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Could be a couple of things.. apps running in the background and/or 3G+ (w/ Data transfer)
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:
Well I have mobile data off completely, and i'm basically running barebones appswise. So those are not the problem.
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Just did a Ti Backup and it seemed to work fine. Looked at my phone a bit later and it's now in a constant boot loop. It boots, gets to the lock screen, waits a few secondsd and then reboots again.

very strange. Time to wipe I suppose :(
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
i bet adam is busy with all that beer people have bought him and is keeping the 720p recording to himself :)
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Yup...always "720P COMING SOON..." never changed:confused:

You know, I follow up for the new version every single minute, refresh, refresh....Look like no more patient, men.
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
See I must be s lucky, I never had the trackball issue and always have great battery. I have wifi on constantly. Twitter, gmail, weather location, google talk etc and browse quite heavy most days. Im on the market, xda app, and more but still get a good full day. I have the latest 5.0.9 radio and really apart from the 720p am not excited about Adams new rom, I love this one. Also never used setcpu ever lol. And when I got to bed with a low battery its still on in the morning.

My desire has only ever seen stock, mcr3.1 this rom and cm6. Then back to this one again.

So not really sure why it just lasts. What am I doing differently? ??? Lol.

Cuz I sure a hell don't know.

I have around 35+ apps installed to with 113mb free ....

Edit: no I'm not paid to say this omelet. Wish I was. :p
[Desire Android Development] eugene19:
Hmmm, I said psx4droid was working with OD1.6a last night but today its not loading roms...

Very strange (-_-;)

EDIT: nevermind, I relocated the bios within the settings menu in psx4droid, and the roms are loading again.
[Desire Android Development] JexL:
i have had this exact same problem twice!! i did a wipe/factory reset before installing and after installing then titanium backup. after two days (yesterday) it went strange. Phone would be working fine then i wake it up and unlock the phone and it gets extremely laggy then reboots to android bootscreen (no white htc screen) and it just keeps doing that. Gets to lockscreen and you unlock and it reboots.

Reinstalled again yesterday but this time also wiped dalvik which i have never done before hope that fixes it. i also suspect it is due to some apps possibly. anyone else have this issue?
[Desire Android Development] xchipx:
I have this with 2.3a :(

This seems to occur after "heavy-ish" use. I.e. when I have launched many applications and then don't use the phone for a while, Also it seems that apps don't close in the background anymore.

For instance, if I start all of the storm8 games after eachother, it used to be that if I went back to the first one again it would "cold start" with the game loading screen, now it never does, it just resumes in whichever state I was in before, no matter how many things I have opened since.

I don't use a task-killer but I suspect that many of you do. So could the garbage collection be broken?

I will do a thorough wipe when 2.4 is released, might even manually delete all the rom files with adb before installing the ROM, since it seems that files don't get wiped, just overwritten. Feels like I might have some leftover files from ages ago.
[Desire Android Development] JexL:
good to see we arent alone. hope this is fixed soon
[Desire Android Development] nico1375:
For me it's the opposite. My phone is unplugged for 23 hours, and I still have 48% of battery. I'm very positively impressed :)
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
After reloading and not installing my two mods the phone is still working great and didn't lose much over night, so I'll see how it goes now... :-) I've never experienced the trackpad issue people have mentioned...
[Desire Android Development] ganjamu:
[Bug] Browser settings & copy and paste in browser

Hi

Can tell me where the browser settings are in 2.3a and also am I the only one who is unable to use copy and paste when using the default browser ?

Anyway, Adam thanks for the outstanding ROM ! :)
[Desire Android Development] rexmundo:
I had this as well twice. Once was with the official open desire rom.

Mine rebooted as soon as it connected too my wireless network.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I think there's a problem with HTC_IME 27_22 on this ROM. Since I've stopped using it (opting, rather, for the Android keyboard, which has, btw, gotten far better in Froyo - just need a way to get to parentheses more quickly), I haven't had a single reboot, whereas before I'd had two in the space of just hours - both while hacking away on HTC_IME. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:
Okay, 4 hours from unplugging at 100% and am now down to 94% - and i've been using it for texting and calling. That's better.

So it probably isn't opendesire's fault (sorry!). I just need to work out what app was causing it.

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Beware, I noticed that with latest rom the 90%-100% stays 'longer' and 'suddenly' battery drops to 80-85% range. I suspect tweakings on the battery management (thank you anyway for all your work Adamw & others).
[Desire Android Development] str355:
mine started doing this yesterday afternoon, on each reboot it skipped the white HTC screen and went straight to the black android screen.

I managed to eventually shut the phone down before it rebooted itself and it booted up as normal from then on and the mad rebooting hasnt returned.

when this happened i was listening to music on the stock music player and using tapatalk but had just lost data signal.
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Yeah I noticed mine got very slow the day before mine started boot-looping! I wonder if that is related to battery life being a bit poor, something stopping the OS from shutting down unused applications?

Either way, fresh rom now, will see how battery is again.
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
Couple of bugs/features I've noticed, just wondering if anyone else has seen them on this - they might be FroYo in general.

1) When receiving a new SMS, opening Messaging and pressing the unread message thread at the top, it can sometimes open a random thread?

2) If a message doesn't get sent, the red exclamation mark appears next to it. You then have the ability to long press and choose edit to bring the text back for a re-send. However, it seems you have the ability to hit edit on any of the previous texts and it'll take them out of the thread and put them in the text entry box?
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
2.3a's Linpack score for me is max 41.01 for me compared to the 37-39 of other roms at stock kernel.

I'm using SetCPU autodetect with Interactive scaling and only 1 profile (screen off = 245MHz @ 100 priority @ power save).
[Desire Android Development] str355:
thats the strange thing my phone was running as normal and my battery life has been excellent since i installed 2.3a on the 25/07 (havent made any change on the phone since then)

seems a bit of a random one
[Desire Android Development] wph:
I also had the mad rebooting thing. It happened while using twitdroyd, when the network signal was bad and sometimes there was no data connection or no connection at all. I stopped it by pulling the battery.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Any reason for interactive over ondemand?
[Desire Android Development] rahiljnmc:
Battery Drain Solved with 2.3a

finally battery drain solved (open Desire is awsome)

45% left...last plugged to charger : 35 hours

setcpu profile : Charging/Full : 998 Mhz

: screen off 245 mhz

: less than 50 % battery 652 Mhz
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
I found my battery life went down after turning on SetCPU, trying with the profiles unticked for a while.
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
I'm using Handcent SMS with this ROM (which is great btw) but my LED no longer flashes when I get a text message, anyone else having this problem? Or a fix?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Notifications work fine without Handcent so its a problem on that end.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Mine seems better so far (since last night) with SetCPU completely uninstalled...
[Desire Android Development] jgranqvist:
I got the same :(
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Just downloading 2.3a on my phone right now... a bit slow via HSDPA. Moving from DeFroST, so just about to make a Titanium backup and a full NAND + Ext backup.

Oh crap, just realised... OpenDesire doesn't support EXT4 does it?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
You might have a bit of a problem running Ti Backup, seems other users are reporting boot loops after restoring backups.
