Sorry, but this is BS for sure. 3.4.2 is working very smooth here, and I bet for the majority (which easily may be 10x the number of posts you are seeing). The satisfied users just don't post, that's it.

So if you have a problem with the ROM or just plain don't get it, then search and read this thread and work it out. This ROM is fully functional if you do it right.
[Desire Android Development] rcourtman:
Agreed. 3.4.2 has been the

most

stable ROM for me so far. Also battery life seems to have improved. Luuuurv it
[Desire Android Development] akxak:
Same here, I can switch from photo to video forth and back without any problems.
[Desire Android Development] shawshanks:
Hi, thanks for the heads up!
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Just stick with the version that works for you. Nobody is forcing you to run the latest version. If there's nothing in the changelog that you actually want, why bother with the upgrade at all?

Cutting edge always means bugs, maybe very minor, maybe major. It's life ;)
[Desire Android Development] Wombat:
wipe, wipe, wipe, flash, restore apps, all good....

upgrade, upgrade, upgrade, bits & peices of older versions = FC's etc..

conclusion? ... WIPE! :)

There are loads of apps avail to backup the sms/mms/bookmarks etc.. that wont break anything just dont backup system files that might not be compatible between versions....
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
Well, all apps can be used with sense as well but "Dialer One" I basically consider a must-have replacement for the HTC Dialer since the HTC Dialer is far better than the stock one.

Other than that I use the following apps to make my life easier:

ADW.launcher or Launcher Pro (I use ADW because of the full-screen swipe function and app drawer transparency which LP doesn't have)

QuickDesk (love it, some like PowerStrip better)

WidgetLocker (whichever widget you want, except sense of course, on your lockscreen)

Launcher-X Pro (multiple 'screens' or multiple icon rows on a 4x1 widget)

ChompSMS or Handcent for sms replacement (I prefer ChompSMS because of its far better looking popup)

Extended Controls or some other custom toggle widget

Pure Music widget

Beautiful Widgets

Messaging Widgets

Some are paid apps though but I wouldn't want to be without them ;)

For some reason my phone reboots alot :( It goes into the bootscreen with Android across the screen, so it doesn't reboot fully, as if it was going to the HTC logo boot...

Is 3.4.2 using the same kernel as KiNgxKernel-Bravo-1-BFS317-263? Or i still need to flash the kernel separately? Thks.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I'm pretty sure you'll have to flash that kernel separately. OD uses one Adam has modified

I've just popped up to the roof to check the GPS with 3.4.2. It took around 35 seconds to get a gps fix (a-gps on). It's very overcast today but that definitely feels a lot longer than usual.
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
All working fine here last 2patches have fixed most issues I was having.

An its running faster an smoother than ever.

GREAT WORK ADAM AND ALL WHO HAVE INPUTTED TO THIS ROM

I'm in my bathroom right now, enabled GPS, fired up Copilot and within 15 seconds it had a fix on 6 satellites and located my toilet :)

Walls all around me, only 1 window with the shades down. So I would say: Yes, GPS is working, even better then I expected ;)

Ok next: Are you using SetCPU? If so: what version. Do you have crashes with it disabled?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
GPS does seem to be working, but very inconsistently. Some preliminary testing:

Rebooted between every test so that previous fixes didn't play into

the fix time (if you get a fix and then close and restart the GPS using app, you'll get the second

fix a lot faster).

3.3.2 seems a lot more reliable and consistently gets good fixes. 3.4.2 strangely got fixes more easily when AGPS was turned off :confused:. Also, the fixes on 3.4.2 were all with far worse accuracy... :(

I'm still testing, but something seems fishy
[Desire Android Development] Clivectmob:
Did you wipe first? :-D (sorry couldn't resist)
[Desire Android Development] jacobtc:
Yes i use SetCPU 2.02 and had it set at 245 min and 998 max, it still crashes...

EDIT: wait, if I fully wipe the phone, would I have to reflash the radio too?

Hi Adam

Great work, rom stable as ever, wickedly fast, nice.

A couple of issues seem to have crept in someplace.

1. On 3 UK the switching to GSM 2G is not working nor can you select 2g only from settings. It was working on earlier release in fact I had great battle life as where I work the phone kept losing 3g signal and always searching / switching. This was solved by choosing 2g in settings.

Please can you have a look at this, guess it some profile or interface to radio that has changed or Bern missed in kernak update.

2nd and could be related to radio/kernal updates.- GPS is not locking as 3.3 was, on bus normally lock us fast and 4-5 says now 1-2 says after ages and keeps loosing.

Thanks for update and hope these niggles can be solved next update.

Everything else is 100%

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] nebelriss:
I solved the problem with the gps for me...

now I get a fix in 5 sec.

I wiped, flashed 3.4.2 and then I just restored my applications with titanium. I always used to restore applications and systemdata. Seems like in my systemdata backup was something wrong that didn't worked with the 3.4.2

[Desire Android Development] hmm1967:
Hi Adam

I am new to OD and it is a realy great ROM. Thank you for your hard work. I am using 3.4.2, fully wiped before flashing.

There is only one major problem for me and that is with my car kit (bluetooth): With Sense ROMs, there are no problems at all. Phonebook transfered, incoming and outgoing calls working.

With OD, it pairs and connects without problem and contacts are succesfully trasfered. But if I make or receive a call, there is no audio.

I played with it a little bit and found the following behaviour (please note, that pairing/connecting is always working):

(1) If I start the BT carkit first and then reboot the phone in the car --> everything is working OK

(2) If I reboot the phone and afterwards start the BT carkit --> no audio (calls are also not displayed on carkit)

(3) Restarting just the bluetooth statck (with the energy widget or with the settings) does not help. Same results as (2).

(4) Restarting the carkit does not help, same as in (2).

Anyone experiencing a similar problem? I would like to stick with OD and not have to use Sense but do not like rebooting the phone everytime I enter the car.

Thanks

Ok re flash to 3.2 as on SD, wipe cache only and GPS working fine also network switching 2g 3g fine back to 3.4.2 wipe cache, install 3.4 then 3.4.2 patch from clockwork without reboot and GPS fails also no 2g.

Secret phone settings slows differing radio settings for mode and reports connect only to 3g nothing else works?
[Desire Android Development] allgxxd:
Hey guys, am still interested how to enable mobile networks (3G)?

If i choose 2G and enable APN In Quick Settings I get almost instantly E and that slower data network.

But if I unpick 2G and do the same in Quick Settings nothing happens.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong or havent done yet?

Wireless id disable at that time...
[Desire Android Development] tomjol:
It takes longer for me to get data in 3G mode than in 2G. Significantly longer.

Bugs. Tested 3.4.1 a whole day long. Unfortunately optical joystick died (as usual) and while listening to music (stock Music app) suddenly the remote controls stopped working on the wired headset. Reboots are required here to get them working again.

Speed was nice but some games suffer - they just quit (no fc) in a while. It can be adjusted thou. Native, clean OD, no further flashes.
[Desire Android Development] Drefsab:
I think im just unlucky I get random reboots if left overclocked, have to set it down to 1075mhz and even then not sure I have done enough testing to see if thats stable.

I am aware of a GPS issue for a few releases now, it is a priority to fix it on the next release.
[Desire Android Development] fstluxe:
Dear AdamG,

I really like this rom.. First Because also because of the new GPU drivers... where did you get these ? (is this from acer or new qualqomm released). seeing really big improvements especially on with opengel2.0 nenamark from 17 to 21.2 FPS

Second I can remember the CPU was max 1276200 the 0x21 line.. higher wasn't possible yet because of the calibration somewhere ? so I really like to know how you did managed get the 0x22 and above working in this kernel :) maybe you have some reference git or something:).

Kindly regards,

Fstluxe

Edit it seems like your github = broke.. http://github.com/adamg-/opendesire-kernel/commit/c4c38baaab0c94ca86d1022be268baace70c0c67

Been playing with 2g 3g settings and it looks like I can not roam hence 3 uk can't connect to 2g as it should roam to orrange uk 2g network. This must be a setting but not one I can find a way to with any apostle or menus - please will you check - if any info please ask cheers karl

only when i not restarting the phone after rom newlly installed.

and it appears Google map can not make a connection to the satellite.

but after restarting there is not a gps problem at all .within 5 sec.Google map will make connection.
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
No problems here at all. The one thing I always do no matter what is full wipe of everything before flashing and after flashing too and I bet I dont have 99% of the problem's reported here.

I know its a pain reinstalling everything but I unzip the rom and put the apps in first so its not too bad and the only restore issue my SMS and call log.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
My messages app has started looking like the screenshot below. I've flashed from new etc and still it looks like it. Going to reflash again.

Anyone else seen behaviour like it?

The grey square is meant to be my profile picture.

EDIT: Like it after a clean install :S
[Desire Android Development] _Ploufy_:
But why did you update your ROM ?

When something get out you take it without waiting/reading some feedback ?

If you update before any feedback, then don't complain... Adam CAN'T test everything before he gets something out. The number of possible configuration is far too big.

==> So WE ARE THE TESTERS, and Adam TRY to resolve the problems.

If you don't want any problem, wait before updating... Else you're just insane !
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I don't know how you do it - every time I have a problem with one of your releases, I worry that you won't notice in all the clutter of this thread, but it's always fixed, or at least acknowledged, so quickly. Thanks (again and again and again :D) for the great work :)

Just for the record: 3.3.2 was PERFECT as far as GPS goes (Fixes without AGPS within 10 seconds), so that would be a good starting point.

Note to self: Stop messing around with flashes and wipes.

Seems my message app is always like that :S Still working on why. I guess no one else's refuses to display their contact pic or even the generic android pic.

Oh yeah and I said i would test GPS more. In a very open area (a big car park with no tall buildings close by etc) I get a fix on 8/10 satellites within 30 secs using AGPS. Didn't get round to testing the GPS only option. Will do that shortly.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
The problem seems to be mainly enclosed spaces. Places where 3.3.2 would get 6/6 satellites within 30 seconds with AGPS, 3.4.2 didn't get any at all after more than 5 minutes, also with AGPS on :(. Then, a reboot later, it took 40 seconds and got just as many satellites as 3.3.2, but seemed to fluctuate (number of satellites dipping and rising much more than on 3.3.2)...

Didn't get enough testing done myself though, because AmonRA ate my backup three times while restoring to 3.3.2 the last time - screen full of dots twice (restoring for about half an hour on end before I decided to pull the battery), one restore that seemed too fast and only restored about half my apps (no idea why)... strange recovery problems.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Yeah AmonRa has been playing up with my recoveries too. Like i'd restore and it would be fine, then next time it wouldn't restore properly or something. Trying to solve that grey square in messages is bugging me :|

Guys, stop teaching me, how to do it right, especially the windows users - calm down. Every experienced linux user knows, that its not possible to do major updates without getting problems, so I did FULL wipe, and flashed 3.0.0 and got my apps back via appbrain. Today i did update to 3.0.2 and yes I tried it with and without wifi, there is still no gps fix. So stop telling me, that there is no problem if I do it right. And yes I did try it outside, 8 sats are there but no fix for several minutes, then i gave up.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
GPS really does work well on 3.0.5 through 3.3.2, even in enclosed spaces. I used practically all the builds in between, and had no problems (and I use a lot of GPS)... Not sure why you had so many problems, but it's not normal.

Other ROMs work fine, so definitely no hardware issues? Maybe a strange case that creates problems with the GPS signal?
[Desire Android Development] _Ploufy_:
Don't worry about that, in a community like that you will always some cracknuts geek like me to try no matter what...

If you want to give feedback then you accept to have problems.

And there's a way to say things. I'd say your post is far too aggressive...

In my point of view, Adam is far too kind. If my client was asking so much, i would have quit my job for a long time... After telling him my thoughts as it come...

Think of it. What would you say if someone was talking to you like that after you went to sleep at 6h53 (more or less...)

Deffinite issues:

- Some minor white noise on calls

- Loud speaker mode results in large amounts of echo to receiver

- Some app compatibility (e.g. goggles, voice search)

- LED colours (not standard)

- Reported issues around facebook sync... non-standard behaviour in terms of updates, navigating to facebook (takes you to your own profile rather than friends profile), number of facebook links against contacts

Possible issues:

- Comments about auto brightness being too low.

- Slow google maps

- GPS Issue (Not happening for me, although is very slow to connect)

- YouTube video issues (I get weird green bar at top of screen... others report 3d like effect due to colour seperation)

Not sure if this is 100% of all outstanding issues...
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Absolutely awesome ROM! Very nice work! Nothing at all to complain about, except maybe there is some slight choppy feeling to the menus when the battery is low.

Now to a quick question: Will we see this ROM with UVOC and perhaps also JIT?
[Desire Android Development] Minux31:
Possible issues:

- Comments about auto brightness being too low -> Not for me

Just a thought (as it happens to me friday) : Verify the partitionning of your SDcard.

Story of friday :

Flash 3.3.2, about 1h later i was still on the bootup animation of OD.

Wipe, Flash 3.3.0 then 3.3.2 it worked... But 3 of about 80 applications couldn't be install (download OK and then error on installation) . Everything else seems to work fine...

At the end of day i tried without my SD and the apps could be installed.

So new partitionnig of the SD with ROM manager, wipe, flash, flash, and everything was OK.

It seems that the SD in the HTC bundle is a bit crappy. A friend of mine had a lot of problem with Cyanogen ROM on his Hero and no more since he changed his SD....

As I say just a thought...

EDIT : Sorry for my english. I didn't realize it was so bad till i read my post... Shame on me !
