What're you talking about? He has a problem with the GPS, not the SD card or apps not installing... Or did he mention those in another post?
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
I just installed this, and its very nice!!

But im wondering where the Google Goggles app is? Ive seen it in many android screen shots, but ive never used it and wouldnt mind giving it a shot.

Also, my GPS thinks im a 5 minute drive from where i actually am. Any fix?

Hmm, id like to know this too!
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:

There are some server problems for german users. Dont know about other countries
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
It's in the Market, at least for me.
[Desire Android Development] novinthen:
Ok. Using 1267mhz now. ( saw in your signature earlier )

gonna try 1305 .... hope it wont explode like in the movies right :D LOL :) thanks
[Desire Android Development] _Ploufy_:
I like to share my experiences and i don't recall any post on the subject.

So it was a general post to everyone and not for the GPS problem specifically. Especially a post where someone had to pull out the battery while in the process of booting (too lazy tonight to find the exact post...). On a computer it's a good way to crash the fs... Is it not possible that, with an ext3 partition seen as internal memory, an error of partitionning could cause unpredictable results ?

And I agree, for the GPS problem it's far too widespread to be that sort of things.
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
Ok just had a problem with email sitting in outbox on mail google account, seemed to be a problem with cookies, which can happen after flashing without wipeing, If anyone else get this just do ......

I pressed HOME

Pressed MENU

Chose Settings / Applications / Manage Applications

Pressed MENU / Filter / ALL

Scrolled down to Google Mail

Pressed CLEAR DATA

Pressed BACK to home screen

Then reselected Google Mail

Now everything will work again, did for me :)
[Desire Android Development] weedup:
Hi, anyone knows why when i use the version 3.4.0 i can put setcpu working at 1305 without any problems and when i put the pach 3.4.2 it works ok in all frequencys but when i set the max 1305 it just freezes and then reboot, is there anyone with the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] :
Yes, exactly the same problem here...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Then why would you post that as a reply to a quoted post about GPS problems?

"The GPS Problem" (as has been mentioned by many users in the last few pages, and was acknowledged by AdamG) is not what was referred to in the quoted post either. OP in that case was talking about GPS not working properly on versions far before 3.4.0 (even 3.0.x), before which there was no widespread GPS problem on OpenDesire.
[Desire Android Development] djjef85:
People who are having Market problems (such as not able to find certain apps, downloads that won't start etc.):

Try to empty your '.android_secure' map on your SD card, reboot phone, start market and accept terms again. But note that this will also delete all application-dependent settings of the Android applications installed on your SD card...

(Thanks to androidworld.nl)
[Desire Android Development] alexis_p3300:
same problem here too,1305 freeze and reboot,when i was on 3.3.2 i was 1344 all the time no problem maybe related with kernel?
[Desire Android Development] _Ploufy_:
A little bit of that too on the instant but i forgot...

Nevertheless you're right i shouldn't have replied to this thread...

Not on the head please... Ouch !
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
i don't use setcpu and i don't have any problems .. coincidence ? :D
[Desire Android Development] The soul of rock:
For all guys who have problems when overclocking: the new GPU driver seem to unstable with high CPU frequency, therefore, just calm down and slow down you handled.
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
What? I was taking the piss of the poster telling people not to try the rom until there was feedback. I've asked nothing of Adam as I've had no problems with the rom. Read the post again and think before you post.
[Desire Android Development] str355:
i also dont use setcpu and dont have any problems, weird :D
[Desire Android Development] chrizs:
Thanks Adam for this great rom runs perfectly for me :D

How can you tell it's recording in 720p?

is High (30M) the 720p setting?

(I would also prefer a different camera app)
[Desire Android Development] ghmail2:
wifi seems going to sleep randomly

sometimes it is ok

but you don't know when and how it goes to sleep

wifi force openning is on

any one has the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] marcomsousa:
please update the rom manager..
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
No mate, you know that because of this setting. ;-)

However, if you have any doubt about taken videos, use GSpot to find out.

Perhaps exploring this one before throwing it away could be a good idea. ;)
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
So now that ive used this rom for a few hours, ive come to realize that i love it!

But i do have some more questions.

1) From what i read, the GPS issue is a known bug, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

2) The only way to get to the video camcorder function is by going through camera and selcting video? Or is there an easy icon that i'm missing

3) FM RADIO! The stock Desire rom had it, why doesnt this?!

4) How do i overclock my cpu? Im using 3.4.2 and i tried to use setCPU but my max and min are already set at 998. i want 1305!

Thank you, and keep up the good work!

EDIT: 5) Since Google Goggles is a stock 2.2 app, but not on this rom, what else has been removed (just out of curiosity)
[Desire Android Development] chrizs:
Lol thanks I had a look there earlier, but didn't know you could scroll down further

how to disable dalvik-cache2sd

Hi AdamG, thank you for such a great rom.

I partitioned my sdcard and flashed OD the other day, the first boot is very good, everything is fine. but when I did a reboot, it stuck at the boot screen, the screen with the green HTC on it. I have to take off the battery to shut it down. Later, I found if I remove the ext partition, it could boot. I tried a few times, could not boot if there's an ext partition, so I figure it must something to do with the apps2sd or dalvik-cache2sd. and I think most likely the dalvik-cache2sd.

So is there a way to disable dalvik-cache2sd, only enable apps2sd? looking at the script /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd, looks like the apps2sd is done by creating symlinks. to disable dalvik-cache2sd, just need to remove dalvik-cache from the directories list. is that correct? if that's it, will give it a go.

Thanks again for such a great rom!

how about arabic lang ? its not working

Are you using the latest radio?
[Desire Android Development] fallout0:
OJ Died again for me :( Would it be possible to add an option in the next ROM to disable the OJ driver entirely? I don't even use it so when it dies its much worse than not having it
[Desire Android Development] vorapoap:
Yup, I feel like disabling Oj completely as well. I found it useful only for text cursor selection / movement, but I don't really use it that much.

Although for me oj hasn't died yet since upgrading to 3.4.2, but until we have a complete fix, it is a bit patanoid just to keep checking if Oj is dead

If we had something similar to iphone text magnifier and text selector, Oj would be totally useless for me.

Thank for great rom.
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
what's OJ?
[Desire Android Development] Wingedsaber:
ROM looking great, but after flashing it (just rooted my phone for the first time) will i still be able to download apps from the android market?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] h46it:
Not too what happened, but I was having problems with my gps like many.Then earlier today gps started working just like regular now. Didn't do anything, but wait for about 5 mins and then I got 10-12 sat locks!
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
just flashed multi-touch keyboard and dont get no FC's at all, works perfect and now for me this rom is perfect :D

also i've just noticed ... i was in a call for 14 minutes and the phone temp shot up by 10 C from 29 C to 39 C and the phone started freezin like crazy an launcher pro froze... had ot reboot the phone...
[Desire Android Development] henryavfc:
Is anyone else still experiencing problems with the headphone jack and earphones not being recognised? Never had any issues prior to 3.3.0, or official sense or LeeDroid. Rebooting fixes it, but I won't want to have to reboot every time I go to listen to music.

Otherwise, working flawlessly thus far.
[Desire Android Development] copas2:
Yeah, Optical Joystick died for me too but just after half a day...

It's allright that you don't need it but what about the other 99.9%? :-)
[Desire Android Development] The Asgard:
+1 I never use it either. Option to disable would be good and solve the issue.
[Desire Android Development] The Asgard:
That's why adding an option in OD settings would be good.
[Desire Android Development] Farrass:
thanks

camera ok now ... but how about arabic lang ?

b,r
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
The OJ disabled should be an option, not default. I don't use OJ when scrolling trough lists, or selecting values, but I do use it a lot for navigating the cursor in texts (for example, to correct a letter you mistyped a few words before).

Btw, @AdamG; Could you please add into the topic startpost the information that users need to flash the latest radio. I think since the notice is removed, more and more new OD users are struggeling with the camera, and just need to reflash the radio. For example, a new line in the installation-paragraph: "Flash latest radio. Radio can be found here".
[Desire Android Development] akxak:
I can confirm this... I just run the Quadrant Standard benchmark with SetCPU at 1267 "interactive". At the end of the dungeon, the desire did a reboot.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Just scored 1605 fully over clocked, no reboot. OD 3.4.2
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
i would like to have an extra version with a completly disabled oj. this would stop the battery drain...i hope^^

a question i have: what's the difference between ondemand scaling and interactive scaling in setcpu.

thank you.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
the kernel me and richard are collaborating on is located here

http://github.com/xdabravoteam/cm-kernel

you will find most of your answers there

1. gps will be fixed 2. different camera app you have to go through camera 3. read up on forums some more 4. explore setcpu some more 5. this is an aosp rom, there is nothing to remove in the first place

6. read forums some more

try wiping your sd and the desire, also ext partition must be the 2nd partition

i will add the notice again later, thx

sorry for those I haven't replied too directly, this thread is growing too rapidly for me to keep up,

new prerelease will be uploaded later
[Desire Android Development] JoeSixAtPack:
Hi Adam,

any ideas what happened to openvpn in 3.4.2 - or am I the only one where the openvpn binary and tun.ko are missing?
[Desire Android Development] :
Hi,

Originally I've formatted my ext partition in ext3. I assume that od is ext4 compatible, and I thinking on reformat the sdcard. But I have a doubt. When i exec a mount on term, the sd_ext says ext2. Possibly the clockworkmod wipe data command has reformatted in e

Ext2?

Thx

Note: sorry for my english
[Desire Android Development] pupuksi:
psx4droid?

Hi,

anyone using psx4droid with this ROM? I originally started to use another roms (Pinky, CyanogenMod) 'cause psx4droid didn't work with Opendesire. Now I flashed 3.4.2, and psx4droid works... sort of. It loads games, but framerate is extremely crappy, and I can't continue from where I left off (FF IX, the game loads, but doesn't respond to buttons, and I tried with and without overclocking).

The crappy framerate really surprised me, since I get better FPS on neocore with this rom, than I did with pinky's rom or cyanogenmod.
[Desire Android Development] akxak:
I had to copy the static linked binary via adb to /system/xbin and made the necessary symlinks to get OpenVPN Settings working again.

The internal way via Settings - Wireless &Networks - VPN-settings - add VPN does not work here, the existing settings are not used and I did not find a way to configure that part like OpenVPN settings does with the existing config file.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
PSX4Droid is actually quite smooth here. But maybe that's because of the game (Tekken)...?
[Desire Android Development] andy32:
Do you mind sharing how you flashed the MT keyboard? Really missed this since the 3.2 release..
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! theres a pre release out ... pass it on ;)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
tun.ko isnt needed? tunnel support is compiled directly into the kernel

check the prerelease binaries are there

yes it has ext4, it will also work fine with ext2 + 3
[Desire Android Development] :
Hi,

Supports clockworkmod wipe data reformat on ext4?
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
i searched around and found it on the forum... then i rebooted into recovery with rom manager flashed it, an its working great no bugs wat so ever... i think i tried every button combination to test if there was an lil bugs but none...

here it is if anyone wants it :)

credits to invisiblek for porting it!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
With touch to focus... *wipes away tear*. Thank you so much Adam.
[Desire Android Development] pupuksi:
Well i'm ashamed now. Wrong bios in the settings, put the correct one there, and everything is smooth again.

Great! Thanks :-)

Since 3.4.2 i am getting sudden reboots of the phone.

i never had this before in any release and i didn’t change my OC settings.
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
try doin a nice front to back wipe lol just try wiping and re-flash it, should be alright
[Desire Android Development] updiliman:
My mobile phone contacts are of this format:

09291234567 (929 being the cellular provider code, 0 on the first string is a must)

Android's contacts app formats it as 09-291-234567.

How do I make it so that either it shows as 0929-1234567, 0929-123-4537, or no dashes at all (htc contacts doesnt have any dashes at all)
[Desire Android Development] dorenthe:
just wondering if I upgrade my Desire from Version to 3.4.2 is there the multitouch keyboard update included or do I have to flash the keyboard.zip by "360nitrous" over the 3.4.2 update?

Just shortly if I flash my HTC with the 3.4.2 version is there any update included ?

thx

@AdamG

Will you be including the addition of the new camera mod al la cyanogen -

http://twitter.com/cyanogen/statuses/21807545077
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
i tried that number and it saved it as all 1 number.... try makin sure ur saving it as a mobile number and not a home or work number
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
i'd love face detection would be amazing and in the new pre relase of 3.5.0. has touch to focus on camera... works really well
[Desire Android Development] TheDarkAngel666:
does anybody know how to fix this? :(
[Desire Android Development] kurt666:
Love This Rom but since 3.4.2 i am having problems unlocking my phone it's like the touch function is not working after about 5 - 10 try's it is working again. Am i the only One having this issue.
[Desire Android Development] updiliman:
doesnt work here.. android's contacts app automatically puts dashes as i tyoe the number regardless of the phone type
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
Anybody answer me about the broken support to adhoc network....:-(
[Desire Android Development] charon72:
I had that problem also, i solved it by installing MoreLocale2 and making a custom locale for my country.

Give it a try. :)
[Desire Android Development] updiliman:
morelocale2 fixed it. thanks.
[Desire Android Development] umd:
I've just returned to OD :) And I have a little problem. Tough I import my contacts from SIM card it says there is no cantact. My contact seems ok and I import all but it still looks empty. What can I do?
[Desire Android Development] kechagia:
i had that problem too, i had to wipe and reinstall, then it works. try importing before you install anything, that fixed it for me (happened also with earlier versions, don't know if its OpenDesire related)
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
import/export colors to/from XML

@AdamG

find out why it didn't work there : http://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...b2f305647805a439aa299e419c8b935188b8#comments
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
You don't have to wipe and re-install - just sync. i assume you've signed in to google? sync the contacts up and they'll appear ..
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
How exactly did you activate it for use ?

I've flashed it through the rom manager and i've just spend the last 5 minutes trying to find a way of activating it for use - and that includes changing the input method in SMS as well ..
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
I *think*, what he was referring to is how the ext partition shows up in the mount:

[root]@[aurora] ~ # adb shell

# mount |grep ext

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

Thats an ext4 fs on there, but its showing as ext2? Works fine anyway, so it isnt a big deal imho..
[Desire Android Development] codecex:
Anyone can give me the link to install multitouch keyboard on my OpenDesire 3.4.2 ?

i love it!

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] abyssdive:
Hi Adam,

Is my first time with your ROM here,keep u the good work !
[Desire Android Development] umd:
I think I found a solution. Before import the contacts you should sync your contacts with your Google account. After that import all your contacts from SIM card. Your contacts'll appear this time :) I don't know it's a bug or not.
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
It is not really a bug...the reason is bcz contact on SIM Card will be synced with ur Google account. And the fone will only show the contact once. As we hae a g-fone, apparently contact on google account would be listed first. If you don't tick the box for "Show Google Contact", no contact will be shown.

I hope they allow us to show sim-card only without google contact.
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
gps seems to be running good now... i got 3 sat locks in 2 minutes (in doors) an there all a healthy green too!

1827 quadrant score with the 1.27ghz oc on interactive. Really unstable though, I've had to lower the oc down to 1.13ghz to stop random reboots. Once stability is sorted this rom will fly!

Using the 3.5 prerelease by the way.
[Desire Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
I've been following this rom for some time now and I was wondering if this will ever make it to the nexus one, thanks for any response AdamG
[Desire Android Development] JoeSixAtPack:
Hi Adam, just checked the pre-release (full wipe was required :confused: ) and all openvpn problems are solved :)

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Z2k3:
After trying setcpu on, I have found out that my battery life is way much better without oc/setcpu. I don't know if this is just me or what. But It might worth a try.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I did mention this on the previous page :)

Precisely the reason I don't bother with setcpu because it really has no effect on battery life at all.
[Desire Android Development] savvidis:
does my desire need to be rooted for this ?????

[Desire Android Development] RXP:
Quick question about the blue LED. I've enabled it on SMS Popup and it just switches it on and doesn't flash it!

Anyway, to get it to blink? Also does OpenDesire stop notification blinking after 15 minutes like the stock HTC ROM?
[Desire Android Development] lpachuong:
just tried the pre-released today...guess Adam is working hard to improve the stability of GPU :)
[Desire Android Development] Peikko:
Is it normal, that I don't get a message that dalvik & battery stats were wiped succesfully? Doing a data wipe gives me one.
[Desire Android Development] Evil_enc:
can you include multitouch keyboard in the next version?
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
check my signature below if u want multi touch keyboard in white or black.... jus flash from rom manager
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
OK, things are getting weird - just tried the prerelease, then reverted to 3.3.2 (Flashed 3.3.0 and 3.3.2, wiped, then restored Nandroid because it wouldn't restore directly from 3.5.0-pre), and GPS in now dead there as well. :eek:

No satellites whatsoever :(
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
Just wondering if it were possible to incorporate brut maps into this rom in the same way that the LeeDrOiD Mod V1.9 Rom does? Or have a separate package to flash brut maps.
[Desire Android Development] Nodders:
I'm on 3.4.2 and can't connect the phone to my PC. It sees it (the driver loaded OK), and I get a flash of the USB icon in the notification bar then nothing - both continue acting as though they weren't connected. Cable is OK.

I've done a search on the thread and noticed similar issues for people around 3.0.2 but presumably these have been fixed now, or is the same thing?
[Desire Android Development] kmetek:
what's the fuss about multitouch keyboard?
[Desire Android Development] qubz:
Search for squrl maps in this forum, there's a flashable zip
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
its just personal preference, i prefer to the normal stock 1, i think its a little quicker to type with too... also prefer how it looks, its not gonna change ur life, but i find it does the job better than the stock 1... others disagree... hense why it isnt included in the rom
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I also prefer the multi touch. It does seem smoother to type with. Like with all keyboards, its all personal preference. Kudos to the guy that skinned the multitouch in black though :)
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
thanks heaps. love this rom.
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:
it's really easy...

delete the maps.apk from rom (/system/app/maps)

sign rom zip file... flash it...

then install brut version from SD card...
