Thought i would add in my own 2cents on the EASIEST ROM upgrade EVER!!!!!

I was using opendesire 2.3a before and of course loved it in everyway.

Ok so I have been keeping a close eye on this thread and was reluctant to upgrade until apps2sd had been implemented, not it has in 3.0.2 i decided to go ahead :P.

So i was using a very old clockwork mod recovery, so Downloaded ROM manager from the market, and titanium backup.

1), I backed up using titanium.

2), I installed ROM manager, installed latest clock work mod.

3), Chose to install of course Open desire 3.0, checked the patch for 3.0.2

4), then i clicked make a backup (Just incase)

5), Said NO to wipe davlik and cache.

6), Followed Automatic ROM flash......

and guess what works perfectly, with all my apps and settings EXACTLY the same.

No fannying about at ALL....

So in light of this, this just had to be the EASIEST ROM upgrade ever!!!!!!

Thankyou so much AdamG, as soon as i have some pennies i will defiently throw them your way, and im tight and poor so its a real biggie for me to Donate!!!

But this just deserves it sooo much.

Thanks again AdamG....

AdamG = The G also stands for GOD!!!

I only suggest to people who used Apps2sd and Open desire 2.3a to use my method of upgrade as well i know it works and works WELL :P

Edit: Even more please all the "extra" mods i had applied are still in place too, ie: Symlinks, keyboards etc... +100

I install 3.00 followed by 3.02, but was stuck in the "ANDROID" logo and cannot boot into the phone. anybody can help?

I did wipe everything and reformat my Ext.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Try again and do another full wipe, also choose to wipe dalvik-cache from the advanced menu of ClockWork.
[Desire Android Development] k3vinyang:
I did that many times now.

I wipe cache, wipe factory set, wipe dalvik-cache..it just cannot boot into phone.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Which EXT are you using? 2, 3 or 4?
[Desire Android Development] zamansimba:
before i jump from LeeDroid to OD 3.0.2, may i know is there fm radio since its not stated in the first post?
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
I had problem upgrading from 2.3a -> 3.0 as well. Flashed 3.0 first but got stuck on HTC boot screen .. So I reverted to 2.3a and used Rom Manager and queued 3.0, 3.0.2 and Titanium .. That worked for me :)

edit: I did it without wipe, btw. every setting stayed perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
No it's not, the FM radio is currently only part of the HTC ROM's.
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
Wonder what this does?

Wifi Problems

Hi Adam,

I was just wondering if you might have some idea of why this is happening.

On all the new versions of non sense roms my wifi connects and gets an IP but no traffic will go through and all my apps will complain about no connectivity.

I tested this using cm6, defrost and opendesire. It's a little weird because I was able to use older versions of defrost and desire with no issues. I was wondering whether it might have something to do with the N driver.

I'd like to get it working properly because I've used your guide to set up a dev environment.

On a further note, congrats on an awesome rom. I'm going to take a closer look at your kernel mods, but I haven't done any kernel development in a long time so it might take a while for me to get up to speed.

Regards

Daedream
[Desire Android Development] weretiger:
Love the rom! first time using Vanilla as i am users from 1.0c. thanks!!!!

btw, PSX4Droid not working :( or is it mine not?
[Desire Android Development] youknowit:
mobile network, trackball (only) wake up, etc.

With OD3, I have had issues with mobile network not functioning at all. I also wished to disable the power button wake up because the button is too sensitive and when I put the phone in my pocket, it often got woken up.

I have resolved these issues with the following method.

1. Wipe clean before installing OD2.3a (because mobile network functioned well with OD2.3a). Reboot and verify that mobile network connectivity works fine.

2. Reboot in recovery mode. DO NOT WIPE. Flash over OD3.0.0.

3. While still in recovery mode, flash "trackpad_wake_keysDisabled.zip" This rom is available somewhere in this forum. This will disable power button wake up. But under OD3.0, this will not enable trackpad wake up.

4. While still in recovery mode, flash over OD3.0.2. Then reboot.

5. Once booting finishes, you will have mobile network connectivity. Go to OpenDisire settings -> Input settings. Enable Trackball wake.

Now your phone ONLY wakes up when trackpad is pressed. Power button no longer accidentally wakes up your phone.
[Desire Android Development] dash7869:
fantastic post, dude! this is exactly what I am looking for!

I am gonna try this right now!

Also, can I check if anyone has any problems with the (bottom part of the) phone heating up with OD3.0.0 and above? I am experiencing this after flashing with a full wipe.. did not happen with other ROMs or 2.3a...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just did all that and confirmed it is indeed working =)

You know what, youknowit, that's an awesome tip!

Only silly me, i fudged it up the first time because i FORGOT to enable the Trackpad wake, and i locked the phone...

Shall monitor my heating problem... seems it's only me.. which is a good thing =D
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:
Oh my god I was looking for something like that! Thank you so much!

EDIT: Here's a link to the post with that zip file
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Thanks for making me chuckle, I loved that one.

Adblock will be included with v3.0.3, I have been trying the 2.6.35-rc6 kernel but I keep getting a bootloop half way through booting.

There is still a few niggling bugs that I'm trying to work my way through.
[Desire Android Development] raix:
I'm sorry, but I'm new to the desire flashing.

When I flash a ROM without wiping, does

that mean my contacts and calendar data

will be taken over in the new ROM?
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Great news mate, hope you will make screen brightness work as in stock ROM that's the only thing keeping off of using this ROM as my daily one.

Thanks very much! :)
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Yes that's correct, as well as all your settings and apps. But if you experience any instability issues then a full wipe is needed.
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Hi Adam,

Please don't forget to include 720p video recording also. Thanks for your great ROM. You are suuuuuper man!
[Desire Android Development] raix:
That's great. But I could also flash without a wipe, make a backup( titanium backup for example),

then wipe it and after that restor my backup, if there are issues.
[Desire Android Development] dannewns:
is it at all possible to setup multiple email inboxes with this version? i can only currently add one account, and when i try to add more it goes through correctly but never gets added.

thanks

Trackbar Unlock is not working on 3.0.2

Is there anyone else has this issue with me ?
[Desire Android Development] betalaga:
to install 3.0.2, before i must install 3.0.0 (about 69Mb)

it's right?
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Right 10char
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Try the od setup menu (settings)
[Desire Android Development] k3vinyang:
it is working now..I flashed the circle battery patch before I even rebooted once. That caused the problem...my own fault..
[Desire Android Development] betalaga:
why only 67 Mb ? The other ROM are 120-130 Mb...
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
I'm having the same issue did a wipe before install as well
[Desire Android Development] Major Clod:
Flashed this rom last night after a full wipe onto my Desire.

Today my battery died completely after 6.5hrs, and I barely touched the phone (no calls, maybe 10 mins of net browsing and reading a handful of emails). I was working in the shed all day.

Before it died, Display said it had taken up about 60% of the used power, which is very strange compared to my past usage of stock HTC roms and LeeDroids 2.2 Sense Rom. It was double that of Wifi and Cellular, which were on for the whole 6 hours. Typically display is much lower than these two with this sort of usage pattern on the other roms mentioned above.

A main difference I noticed with stock Froyo is the Notification LED does not stop blinking until you unlock the phone and clear the notification, whereas in sense it'll blink for about 5 mins and stop. Do you think this 6 hours of continued blinking would be why display was so high?

I had no other new/different apps installed (barely any installed as I haven't restored many, just the essentials), just my gmail, exchange and isp email addresses synced every 15 mins as I have always done in the past.
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Where is OD setup menu ?

I only see "CyanogenMod settings" on phone settings page
[Desire Android Development] JexL:
i think this is because it dosent have all the HTC Sense stuff which takes up a lot of space.

im currently on 3.0.1 which i flashed last night

Fully charged in the morning

Unplugged at 8.30am used about 20minutes of wifi then left the house and turned on 3g and data connection

used apps through 3g internet from about 9.30 to 10.15am

3g data has always been on all day. used a bit of google talk everynow and then

currently 6.45pm battery has 66% left.

brightness has been on about 15% the whole time

very happy with this rom

3.0.2 doesn't fix camcorder problem. When I switch to camcorder mode in the camera app, I can't change any of the settings and it just FCs and power cycles the phone.

I know its a know fault and its being looked at, just thought I'd mention that the latest build doesn't fix it. Thought I'd check with the new kernel.

AdamG's site is currently down - Just get a blank page.

Hey, i have hosts file update.zip here for download: http://jabb.im/0jk

After install any ROM with adblock only apply this small update file.
[Desire Android Development] w1000i:
why we can't use 576 mb >>> ????????????????????????????????

:mad::confused::(
[Desire Android Development] alstrike:

All roms that I have installed say that the total RAM is 418 Mb, what the hell is that?!?!?!

This device was supposed to have more RAM due to SenseUi, but what good is it if we can't use it?

Do I need to update the radio on my phone or does this ROM do it automatically?

I also have the radio icon missing!
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
battery life report if anyone is interested ..

12:20am today I unplugged the charger at 100% battery life. 10 hours later at 10:20am, obviously with zero usage due to me being in bed for most of it, i was down to 96% battery.

Sent one text message just now, which took me 3 minutes (don't ask :)) and lost 1% of battery life.

I imagine i'll still have the same issue with surfing the web on the phone and losing 1% per minute, but i'll try later on ..
[Desire Android Development] Ratmatix:

2 Problems with OpenDesire 3.0.0+. Alternative Launchers and WiFi

OK, got 2 little problems with the latest incarnations of OpenDesire.

Firstly using alternative launchers seems (for me at least) to be a little broken as the phone seems to randomly 'forget' which launcher it's supposed to use and I get the pop-up requesting me to select one.

Secondly WiFi seems to occasionally switch itself off when the phone goes to sleep - sometimes it's there when I wake it up, sometimes it's on 3G and it takes a minute or two to switch back to WiFi.

I have done a couple clean installs (with full wipes) to make sure there was nothing left over from previous installs but the issue is still there.

Using OpenDesire 3.0.2 with latest radio.

Any advice/info much appreciated :)
[Desire Android Development] t0mle:
Nice :-) Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
confirmed,,,

i also went to bed with phone on 100% everything turned off on phone ( apart from the phone ofc) i had a little less sleep than 10 hours but 3% battery was used for approx 8 hours.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Launcher: Happens when the third-party launcher is updated, i.e. via the Market (maybe auto updates are on and you're not noticing it?).

WiFi: Set the WiFi Sleep policy to never (WiFi=>Menu=>Advanced)...
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Unplug at 09:00am and now is 04:39pm, I only have 37% left. 1 call, 3g on, web (xda forum) for 2 hours only. My battery really drained with auto brightness, it eats about 80-95% of battery usage. Maybe affected by latest radio (05.09)
[Desire Android Development] JexL:
anyone have issues with gmail app and emails getting stuck in outbox?
[Desire Android Development] Egan:
Auto-brightness is not working well. It goes up and down in brightness every couple of minutes. very weird bahavior. That indeed is eating lot of battery.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
i don't use auto-brightness - just set it manually to quite low and it's fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] The Transporter:
Hi,

This is the best Froyo Rom I tried, I come from Modaco R6 with Sense.

I tried CM6 nightly last week, but it wasn't as stable and fast as this one.

I really hope the battery will last more than a day.

I have a couple of questions:

1) How to remove Facebook and Twitter apps ?

2) Are some parts of the ROM taken from Cyanogen Tree ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
1) The way I do it is to remove the apk's from the zip file before you flash the rom. You'll have to turn off the check for signed updates in clockwork recovery.

2) Dunno.
[Desire Android Development] :
How do I install? 3.0.0 first, then 3.0.2? Or 3.0.2 right away directly?
[Desire Android Development] Clivectmob:
For what its worth, I've been using launcher pro throuout since about 2, and always full wipe before any major update, and have neither of these issues. For me at least, there are no faults. I only experienced the trackpad stop working once, but not since.

Sent from my HTC Desire using Opendesire 3.0.2
[Desire Android Development] eugene19:
3.0.0first then 3.0.2

You can do this all via rom manager
[Desire Android Development] atomsforpeace:
Adam,

Thank you for this ROM, it really is the best I've used. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Appreciate the work, expect a beer on student loan day!

Does anyone know if lockscreen music controls will work with music mod?
[Desire Android Development] jimmytboi:
Using rom manager, can somebody explain how i do an update? I ran the update.zip file and nothing happened. I'm on 3.0.0 and want to update to 3.0.2.

Didnt just want to install ROM the new patch because i didnt know if this would overwrite the main ROM
[Desire Android Development] prokicmaffia:
hello

why can´t i open the link whats wrong
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
or when you've already flashed the rom, boot into recovery, and use adb.

adb shell

mount /system

cd /system/app

remove the apps you don't want.

rm -r application

cd /

umount /system

reboot
[Desire Android Development] jms.flynn:
Stop eating them then...

sorry.. i'll grab my coat..
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Noticed a couple of bugs like others have said such as speech etc but I had my main screen set as below

I downloaded the widget from the market for the clock and i liked the look, now the clock has disappeared and if I go to add widget non of the ones I previously downloaded are there to add???

They are still in the main menu but not available when i click add widget
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
do u have ur apps set to external memory?
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
ah, i think i did, is that why then? I cant even see where i set it doh!
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Yea, if you move widgets to your external memory, you can't have them enabled. You'll need to shift it back over to the phone memory.
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
yepp. i have mentioned a few times any apps with widgets must be on internal storage to work.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Sure it helps. I installed latest version (2.0) for underclock only, and it works.
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
ah ok another thing learnt then :) seems odd its worked for a couple of hours ok?
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
yea mine worked for a few days till i restarted the phone.
[Desire Android Development] looking-g:
yep the best froyo rom out here thanks a lot dutch included finaly thanks
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
trackpad doesn't work
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
thats the weird thing i hadnt restarted it.... unless it had crashed and auto rebooted, anyway at least I know what to do now, out of interest will there be a fix for this? and if not what kind of apps would you say to install on sd?
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
at all? Mine seems to work perfectly?
[Desire Android Development] toppi73:
Yep!

Great work. Thanks a lot m8 :)

Everything is working fine for me. Just waiting for cam recording ;)
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
So simple and so easy. Thanks! :)

Can I remove the unneeded apps this way as well? By removing it from zip?
[Desire Android Development] Ireas:

[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes but dont remove critical system apps.

:)
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
i can't swipe over it. if i pull it it works
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
How do I know which ones are critical? For example, can I remove Voice Dial and Voice Search?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I think they are safe to remove.

Leave all the rest. Only things like setup wizard and tips can be removed safely.

Will the next release be uploaded tonight Adam?
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:

What exactly are the features in OpenDesire settings? What settings are accessible?

I'm wondering whether I should upgrade from 3.0.1 :p
[Desire Android Development] t0mle:
Using ROM Manager - select Reboot into Recovery - Then select choose file (ur something..) select the file (which you of course have copied to your SD card.

This will install the 3.0.2 patch.
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
Performance wise : JIT or no JIT? I notice a little lag in screen scrolling and stuff with JIT. Experimenting.
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
Trackbar unlock works if you also tuck trackbar wake. First click wakes, second click unlocks.
[Desire Android Development] jimmytboi:
Ok so as you would install any rom. Just didnt want to somehow lose 3.0.0 with just the update parts lol.

Thanks

Great rom everything working perfect love OD settings!! great work as always
[Desire Android Development] vibranze:
Just flash the 3.0 + 3.0.2, love it!

- Love OpenDesire Settings!

- Love the new power control with data on/off!

- Hate the Videos green icon (but no big deal;))

- The camera quality still not there compare to HTC stock camera, wondering what tweak they put into it.

Is it possible to put the circle battery bar with percentage and black notification bar mod into OD settings?

Cheers!

[Desire Android Development] jimmytboi:
When i upgrade my power widget just changed from 5 icons to 6 on its own
[Desire Android Development] GAVtheRAV:
To all those with battery drain issues. I don't think it is the auto brightness that is causing it. I remember someone saying that the reason the display bar is so high in the battery usage screen is because it's represented incorrectly. Something to do with incorrect XML. I noticed this also in CynanogenMod 6.

For me battery life seems to be excellent. Only lost 3% over night between 2am and 11am which is better than when I had stock sense eclair. If you want to reduce your battery usage try lowering the refresh interval for facebook and twitter in the settings pages of the relevant apps
[Desire Android Development] :
Previous DeFroST user. Just wondering, is it just me or does the Twitter application come with FroYo? And is the Messaging application supposed to be black? (DeFroST's ROM has the green Messaging icon but a white background).
[Desire Android Development] betalaga:
sorry but i have reply to gaeng4665..

ps. i have 3.0.2 but i can't find power control
[Desire Android Development] Das IceDice:
Whit AmonRA all ok.

Thanks AdamG, great rom! Have a nice cold beer! :)

Btw. Is there option to change date format in notification bar and lock screen?

("August 1, 2010" or "Sunday, August 1" to format like this 1.8.2010)

And is it possible to change minimum brightness when auto-bright?
