Hmm! Then what do I do... how do I restore all my applications. They are currently on an EXT4 partition...
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
You can try it.. Can't remember if EXT4 is supported as I'm running EXT2 myself.

Dear AdamG,

you know what:

I hate you for making me pressing the F5-key since two days.

Guess I'm addicted to your OD-drug... ;)

What are the advantages over ext3?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Titanium Backup works fine here. Just don't try restoring system settings from a completely different ROM on a new one - obviously that will cause problems.
[Desire Android Development] sbricout:
Hi,

Is Ti-Backup restoring app settings too ? Like handcent settings ?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Of course. :)

Don't use Handcent myself, but all my other apps (over 100) restored just fine including their settings.
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
To the guy a few pages back reporting that his sms messages where put in the wrong conversation, or the grouping seemed 'off' in the messaging app:

This happens to me on multiple ROMs when I try to restore SMS messages with a backup program like MyBackup or Titanium. Since then I never try to restore sms messages and never had a problem like that again.

About psx4droid: I can confirm it actually. Tried psx4droid the first time on MoDaCo's r5 rom (sense 2.2) and it worked fine. Tried the same bios / rom files on OpenDesire 2.3a, and it will never start a game, just flip you back to the ROM selector again.

Something with the JIT settings? Is there anything tweakable in the JIT vm? Maybe sense has something different in there than AOSP has. Otherwise it might indeed be your kernel... weird.

[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Quick question from a Linux n00b: When official Froyo versions for the Desire come out, will we custom ROM users (namely OpenDesire users) be able to profit from HTC's tweaks?

For instance, will it be possible to get the notification LEDs working properly by copying what they did? Maybe kernel tweaks or something?

Or is official Froyo for Desire largely irrelevant to OpenDesire's further development (since it's built from original AOSP source...?)?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
When HTC release the kernel source from the official Froyo releases there will be benefits, doubt that there'll be anything major just from the roms though.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I just flashed OpenDesire 2.3a, and am currently restoring some things using Titanium. It picked up all the applications on my EXT4 automatically, but obviously didn't have the settings for them... the restoration should sort that out though :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You mean if you don't wipe your EXT partition and flash a different ROM with Apps2EXT support, all your apps will still be there, installed and ready with the exception of the settings being reset?

Did I understand that correctly? :)
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Yep, that is what I meant. Everything ranging from Launcher Pro Plus to HAWX game were all there :)

Strange thing is, I wasn't asked to set up my Google account at the beginning :/
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Very cool. :)

Normal for OpenDesire AFAIR, the setup wizard has been disabled. :)

Hmmm, does HTC have a reputation for dragging their heels on releasing kernel sources? Or are we due for a few OpenDesire upgrades soon after Froyo is officially pushed to the Desire? :p
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Oops! Don't restore Launcher Pro... I set it as the default launcher and now it force closes every time. I tried restarting my phone and I can't do anything because it just force closes :(
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Ahh, its because I didn't unlock Launcher Pro (to Plus) before restoring its settings :p
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Does Clockwork or AmonRa (depending what you have on there) support ADB? Try deleting LauncherPro.apk from /data/app through that...

-edit- OK, sounds like you've resolved it ;)
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
AFAIK you're due an OpenDesire update as soon as Adam finalizes it, he's ironing out some bugs and obviously doesn't want to release it like that. Give him time =)

I'm not sure how long it took the 2.1 Sense kernel to be released but I can't imagine it taking too long, maybes a month?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I in no way meant that he's taking too long with 2.4 :p... other than the non-functioning LEDs I'm completely (!!!) satisfied with 2.3a. It's nearly perfect!

Sounds good to me. :)
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
The LED's are perfectly functional.. are you using Handcent by any chance?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Nope. The only LED notifications I'm getting are from Sipdroid (red LED when it can't connect) and charging. Nothing else at all - Gmail, IM programs, SMS - nothing.

Or is that normal on the Desire? I came from a Milestone, and nearly every program was able to activate the notification LED...
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
O.o after saying that, I've just tried sending an SMS through the web and haven't had the LED blink.. weird! Was working a couple of days ago! Hmm.

Really impressed with this ROM so far, nice and clean and fast. I'm also seeing issues with the facebook integration not being quite right; statuses not updating in contacts, not syncing pictures and multiple copies of the facebook contact info for each contact.

Also has anyone noticed a difference in reception, the phone is reporting better strength in some areas I know to be previously marginal. Only yesterday I was running DeFrost 1.5 and reception was as marginal as it had ever been.

Exchange Activesync Froyo Mail App Battery Drain

Hi there,

Anyone noticed before there is a problem with the built-in email app. After setting up an Exchange Account I noticed that the batteru drained very fast! Although the account is not set to push, but pull ever 30 min its supposed to make a connection every 30 mins. But checking the Partial Wake battery history shows that the email app is constantly keeping the phone from going in standby.

remove the email account seems to resolve the problem :) but this is offcourse not a solution.

It even gets worse when putting the phone in Airplane mode. Tested it overnight, had the phone charged to 100 % put in in Airplane mode at 23:00 and it woke me at 6:00 vibrating cause the battery is dead! Checking the server logs (when it is not in airplane mode) reveals that it polls more than once a second!

I wiped everything, reinstalled but same issue, even tried Defrost Rom, same porblem...

When I install a Sense Rom (wich uses another mail cleint (HTC)) the problem does not occure?

Anyone has seen this before, and even better knows how to solve this, cause for now I'm stuck to Sense Roms!

thx

Edit: Seems I nee to update my signature, so NO i'm not in the wrong forum!
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Just installed this rom, could anyone advise how can I access my SD Card when I plug my device to my PC via USB cable?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Drag down the notification bar and select USB connected.
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
dnglee, you replied to my post on page 455, so your LED did work but no longer does?

My LED turns orange when charging and green when fully charged but I get no LED notification when using Handcent or the stock messaging app, that little LED was one of my favourite features when I was on the stock rom..wonder why its not working now :confused: or rather why some peoples seem to work and not others..
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Thanks m8, that easy lol!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I'm guessing that something was changed in Froyo in the way that apps can access the LEDs.

Are the LEDs fully accessible on the Desire's stock Eclair Sense ROM? Or is it maybe a hardware issue too?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Was working I believe but isn't now =(
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
I did a clean wipe before installing OD1.6 but have just upgraded the versions since. I might do another wipe before the next update and try that then.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
It does work... just not for all apps :D
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
Yeah I guess it is probably software because the LED still works when charging, and yeah on the stock Eclair Sense ROM it was completely fun, I could change the colour I wanted it to blink as on Handcent but now, while the 'Blink LED' box is still ticked, the LED is definitely not blinking! I loved that little light..

You said it worked for some apps? Care to name one just so I can check it IS a software problem?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
"SMS Popup" blinks the LED. However, only yellow and orange work, and I haven't tried changing the blink pattern.

BTW, for anyone wondering why we're so obsessed with the LED: If you set a different pattern and/or color for different kinds of notifications (i.e. I had red for missed calls, yellow for SMS, green for IM, blue for other stuff, and so on), you can see what's happening on the phone without having to turn on the display to check each time. Very useful. :)
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
SMS Popup still didn't make my LED work, bad bad bad times. I neeeed that LED :(
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Did you turn off the display? The LED notification doesn't work when the display is on (since 2.1 IIRC)...
[Desire Android Development] cq.dude:
Nothing recognizes my location (google home page, weather, what else?) Should i report this as a bug? (2.3a btw)

I currently have a Modaco froyo rom.

But the opendesire rom is supose to be the best according to this poll, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=735497

Few quesions,

1. What advantages has this rom got over modaco?

2. Does this have A2SD+ on it?

finally, would say i should change or keep modaco?
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
I've just rebooted my phone and SMS notification is back with the stock messaging app aswell as Gmail.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
That poll is refering to ROM's with Sense, this ROM doesn't have Sense included.
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
Okay, will give it a go :)

I think this ROM is the best out there, but it isn't listed on that poll, you are looking for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726300 OpenDesire and the one listed in that poll are both made by the same team but one has Sense and one does not..

[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Did you turn on location-based services? Network location and GPS?
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
Sorry I know I'm spamming over LED's but it definitely isn't working with any messaging applications, only charging. What a bummer, that LED was so useful for checking my phone while in lesson or at work..

This is a very big deal for me as you can tell :p apart from that it really is the perfect ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Did you say whether you installed from a clean wipe?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I did, and half my LED notifications aren't working either :p

But you know that already ;)
[Desire Android Development] griefman:
I had the same issue with the GPS yesterday, after i upgraded from 2.3 to 2.3a. But it worked eventually for me after around 5 minutes waiting for the signal. And after a little bit of testing i noticed, that the strenght of the GPS signal is a little bit lower as it was before... But the fact is that the GPS works... might be a little bit slower, but it works ;) you should probably just take a little closer look on that, but for now it is OK. I am eager to see how the 2.3b will be ;)

Great job and thanks for doing it ;)
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
Yep backed up in Clockwork, wiped everything and then installed 2.3a...Oh well, will have to wait and see if it's any different in 2.4, I doubt it but I can only hope :p Maybe it is just Froyo.

[Desire Android Development] gianton:
yes i noticed that once on auto it becomes too dark, it wasn't like this in stock rom.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Was the screen off when the mail was received like mentioned before?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Actually, I quite like the darkness and how the brightness levels correspond to outside lighting - I just wish the screen would brighten more quickly when I step outside with the screen on :)

What do the results of the little ADB LED experiment mean? :p
[Desire Android Development] Jake254:
Yep screen was off, have done everything you suggested apart from adb, but thats only because I don't know how to, don't worry about it mate :)
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
LED notifications work here when screen is off.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I just realized that the charging LEDs seem to override all other LED notifications. Basically, in the dock or on the charger, the LED is useless :(

Is that normal, also on stock Eclair?

My phone has the reboot problem. :mad: The problem is that after reboot, all wigdets (e.g. power control, facebook, twitter, some lanch X-Pro widgets etc) were removed from my home screen. All shortcuts where still in place. Last time this happened the phone didn't reboot. I saw the "android" starting up screen and then the "enter pin" screen and that happened for about 4 times before I removed the battery. :mad: :eek:

OpenDesire v3.0.0 will be here tonight, I have made big changes to the way I build OD, hence the version jump, I need to update the first 2 posts and a couple more items and I will upload it ASAP.

Since I found a way to gain an extra 21MB RAM, it has broken the 720p support, the memory map needs to be rearranged and I am still trying to sort it out, I've wasted much time on this one feature over the past 2 days because of it.

The 720p when I had it working had a preview bug anyway and many users would have complained about this, it recorded fine but whilst it was recording you couldn't basically see it :) playback was unaffected.
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
GOOD NEWS, ADAM!!! :)

No wipe is needed when flashing from 2.3a, right? Just set it up again :D

I had the same issue of a 5% battery drain per hour as some of you reported. After disabeling and enabling several services/widgets to find the bad one, I found the bad one. However, its not a widget, nor a service or program. It just seems to be the 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08 radio. After re-flashing the 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 radio, my battery usage improoved from the "original" 5% per hour, to a 1,5-2% per hour with the .04 radio.

Hope all you guys suffering form a huge batterydrain are using the .08 radio and can fix it by flashing the .04 radio.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Hope that most known bugs are fixed in v3.
