Actually I'm down to 50MB internal memory now...well I keep an eye on that one, if it doesn't go below 30MB it's no problem. That's what storage is for...to store things, right? And the internal memory is probably faster than the sd card...so better have things there.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
lads - u were right, after pulling out battery it did worked.:)
[Desire Android Development] UltraLinx:
What does "wipe data and cache" exactly do in ROM Manager?

Does it delete all your apps and settings etc?
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
i can't backup via rommanager......... why?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I gained more. I went from 43mb to 105mb.

Then installed 2 more apps to test inc flash 10.1 and went to 98mb.
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
when i backup my rom i have E: error in CACHE:recovery/log no space available
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
told ya :)
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Another question:

Which version of the calendar is implemented? Because Pure Grid Calendar tells me when I select "Stock Android Calendar 2.2" that it can't find it. When I select 1.5-2.1 it works. Is there a newer version available or is the widget just a bit buggy?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
im getting same error when I start recovery
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
the problem is the dalvikcache in internal memory, i have 39,60 mb used and 40 kb free, and the recovery and backup don't works fine.

Now, with rootexplorer, i have moved the file in a folder on sd( there is a same file that i have in dalvik cache on sd partition), and the rom manager works fine.

Now the desire reboot (htc blanc monitor..................................:mad:...............................................:confused:.....................................................................:(............................................................................................:eek:)

now i must restore the backup....
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
Kernel Version

Under settings/about phone it says Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-ShadowFrost ief@shadowchild#1

I've installed the updated v1.5

Have I done something wrong??
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
did you use pauls a2sd patch?
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
@brandall

No, you haven't. Same thing.

The first version of 1.5 had another kernel, this one is the right one as far as I know. OC is also working properly now.

Edit: Maybe there was a reason Adam removed the a2sd of paul?
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
yes, i have post attachment here in this thread..... :p
[Desire Android Development] str355:
looks like i've missed a few updates, grabbing 1.5 now :)
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
maybe Paul can fix it for us.

otherwise we will need to not use that patch and loose memory :(

EDIT:

My backup works fine using ROM manager. It boots into recovery, backs up without errors and then reboots the phone.
[Desire Android Development] brandall:
Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
i have fix the problem.....

With rootexplorer go in cache\dalvikcache and remove all

Reboot your desire and attempt, now you can use rom manager without problem :p
[Desire Android Development] jms.flynn:
Adam G how can we buy you a coffee / Beer / Mojito / Spring Water ? I see no link.
[Desire Android Development] codeXcalibur:
Not yet. Awesome ROM, btw! Searching for bugs
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
did you flash from defrost? and had to reinstall all apps?

were u using froyo a2sd or old skool a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
no i did a fresh install with full wipe with froyo build in a2sd feature
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Thread has been updated with new rom, enjoy :)
[Desire Android Development] powerplant81:
dear all,

is it possible to install this rom on a "touch pro 2" (rhodium)-device?

i mean will it work partially?

thanks, manu
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
The world is perfect atm...germany england 4:1 (new wembley goal LOL), your rom...cool :-) ... your work is very fast and good. I hope you can fix the cam, the market and give us some info about the battery life. Thanks man!
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
No, as that's WinMo and this is Android
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
gonna charge me desire and nandroid backup and then flash 1.1b over defrost :)
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
Keep up the good work. Btw, is there any possible way you can put this thru Rom Manager. Would make my life easier since i'm new at this.
[Desire Android Development] Skimi:
and flash? i cant find flash on the market...
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
forgive my newbie question but what do you mean by rom manager? ive copied the zip file across to my sd, rebooted phone whilst pressing down vol and selected recovery but im just getting a red triangle .....
[Desire Android Development] sonderschalter:
Is it (white noise) a hard piece of work, any estimation when you´ll start working on that issue? Actually that is the only reason why I jumped back to 2.1 ...

Anyway, really great job, thanks a lot!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
you need a recovery image to be able to flash ROMs.

Reboot your phone and then go to the market and download an app called ROM Manager. The free version will do for now. Then open it and click flash recovery and when it pops up select HTC Desire and wait for it do download and install. Once done press reboot into recovery and it should launch clockwork recovery. from there you can select flash update.zip and then choose the ROM. You can also do a factory reset and wipe from there also.
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
Really tempted by this now...

Do we have a list of current issues with this rom at the moment?

I'm currently on defrost1.5f but like the sound of this being built from the ground up for the desire.

Is this white noise issue more of an issue than on defrost?

Is flash 10.1 available for this rom?

Are all market apps that should be available for a nexus1 or a desire available for this rom?

Cheers in advance :)
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
many thanks, can i flash back to a stock 2.1 rom like what i have already if i dont like it for any reason (camcorder being the main issue tbh)
[Desire Android Development] rahiljnmc:
Downloading now!!!
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
How works the led?
[Desire Android Development] fxone:
A2SD+ (Hope it means ext 2/3/4) doesn´t work for me.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yes

when you are kin recovery, before you do anything go to nandroid and do a backup. if you dont like this ROM then you can just reboot the phone with bottom volume button and then select recovery and then hold up volume button and press power and select update.zip from sd card and you will get back to clockwork and then nandroid and then restore. it will go back to exactly how your Desire was before you flashed.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
thats that Pauls script did, move all non system davlink cache items to the SD card and leave the system app cache on the phone.
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Am I only person who still has echo & white noise problem ?

I did full wipe and installed latest version of opendesire . I still have same problem .
[Desire Android Development] cosmic76:
ok, but i haven't solved with script, and i have removed manually......

;)
[Desire Android Development] UltraLinx:
WTF, after flashing from 1.3b to 1.5 my internal memory has gone from 100mb to 40mb?!

WTF is that all about!?
[Desire Android Development] Baton1203:
Hi,

Can someone help me? I did update to 1.5 but it stuck on "Android black screen" :( i dont know what to do now :( I didnt have any problem with previous releases. Maybe is something wrong with file (1.5)? Thanks.

regards.

Lukas
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
thats cause Adam removed the davlink script so all the davlink chache is stored on internal memory.

If you want to free up more memory then use Pauls a2sd fix on the last page, but we warned it makes recovery give a error and some people are unable to backup but mine backups fine and on first boot it will freeze on the HTC white screen so just take battery out and reboot.
[Desire Android Development] sQVe:
OMG WTF can you please f**king read, WTF... WTF...
[Desire Android Development] UltraLinx:
So am i better off just leaving it and going back to 1.3b than doing Pauls a2sd thing?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
up to you.

Actual phone runs fine with Pauls script and I can backup fine even with the error.

I will try a restore tomo and see if that works.
[Desire Android Development] UltraLinx:
ok well can someone direct me to Pauls script, i can't seem to find it :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
look at bottom of page 152
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Flashed 1.5 for the 6th time no, still bootloop. . . Maybe i should flash a different rom and then try it again.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
I trink something is wrong with the kernel. I'm looking a bit at the CPU states at setcpu. Before, most of the time it was idling at lowest frequency. Now its switching back end forth all the time. It's nearly as often maxed as it is idling and I'm doing nothing...

Can anyone confirm this?
[Desire Android Development] NChief:
on 1.4a I could overclock to 1267MHz, now I get max 998MHz..

edit:

oh, thats probably why :)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
flash nr 8 just went wrong too. I'm still getting the bootloop. I really don't know what's going wrong.

Repartitioned my sdcard, flash other roms without a problem, and when i flash 1.5 just the bootloop.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Im gettin 28 - 32 on linpack :(
[Desire Android Development] Baton1203:
yes. I also downloaded first version of 1.5 and its working perfectly, then Adam wrote that he did mistake with something and reupload the rom. So i downloaded 1.5 again, but is something wrong, as i said , im stuck on black screen with android.
[Desire Android Development] Frools:
so out of interest, according leo parts the data partition is 150mb, cache is 40m and system is 250mb

system is only using 123mb

why is there so much free space on the system partition?

shouldn't those 2 be the other way around, this seems stupid?

im assuming this is some kind of default for the desire/android in general because my free space is pretty similar to the stock rom (not using a2sd+ just froyo a2sd)

is there no way to tweak these partition sizes?

seems like it would be an easy way to squeeze a bit more appspace out of the internal memory

edit: fwiw the only issues i've had so far have been minor

the facebook contact syncing thing (not a big deal ill just do without contact images for a bit) and funny coloured status LEDs
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
That's called a bootloop :)
[Desire Android Development] Baton1203:
hehe, :) Thanks :) im new ;)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
1.4c was working great, but can't find it anymore.
[Desire Android Development] Baton1203:
I have 1.4a or 1.5 first release. If You want to i can upload somewhere.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
If you can post 1.5 first release, that would be great.

The only thing was the overclock issue right ?
[Desire Android Development] Baton1203:
:) I dont know. I bought my android phone a few days ago. Im still learning :) You can install and check by yourself :)

[Desire Android Development] barrons:
Does anyone know how i get back my apps i installed to sd? as its not showing up when activated on 1.5.....

or am im missing something? i turned on external in leo parts yet my apps are showing up i moved to my sd card.... any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
I'll look at the a2sd stuff tomorrow... however...

Still running 1.4a at the no (holding off on 1.5 for now)... but the thing which is annoying me at the moment is its waking up with any key... how can I set this back to wake by the power button only? I keep the phone in my pocket and its completely raped my battery tonight...
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
anyone else gettin low linpack results using new 1.5 ROM?
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
still knackered on my apps i backup on my sd card. ive enabled it in leo parts some reason phone isnt finding my apps which were installed on the sd card from 1.4....

wierd. what am i doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] xataxxx:
Yeah.. Back to ~32 like 1.4 was.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I got 40 on 1.3b :(
[Desire Android Development] meLIanTQ:
Ok,

For the White Noise bug you can test this phone.apk please (phone.apk of my rom)

http://www.multiupload.com/QZ96B3OD9Q

Just flash this update.zip in recovery

maybe need to wipe data of com.android.phone and wipe dalvik-cache.
[Desire Android Development] craylim:
i am getting about 32 - 35.

with the wrong kernel AdamG used for OD 1.5, i got high 30s and 40ish...
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
plus that wrong kernal had correct charging LEDs working but no blue LED.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Can someone please write a script for moving everything possible on SD? I ( and I think a lot of people) have got a class 4 card or better. Why can't we move dalvik cache and data to SD ext?

I have always used roms that works this way.
[Desire Android Development] NChief:
I updated from the old 1.5 to the new without problemes.. getting around 44 in linpack with OC, and around 35 without OC. I'm also using the a2sdfix if that matters.
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
slower 1.5 linpack

I assume the previous 1.5 posted by mistake contained an overclocked kernel

If u want that performance get setcpu
[Desire Android Development] NChief:
no, the one posted by mistake did not include OC. the proper one does, as it always has.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
strange

I used to get 38 - 41 in 1.3 without OC.

So something has slowed it down a little.
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
Oh..

1267.2MHz google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update1/ERE27/24178:user/release-keys

Yeah ... hmm ... does this not veer away from the ethos of the build being vanilla stock 2.2? IMHO OC should be left 2 the user to decide if performance is priority over battery longevity.
[Desire Android Development] NChief:
just dont install SetCPU(or configure it to not OC) if dont want to OC..
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
whos missing the point nchief?

not sure whos missing the point , I am no expert but -

re:

http://androidspin.com/2010/02/28/nexus-one-in-linpack-top-10-all-in-the-name-of-science/

the kernel designed to run nearly 267.2MHz quicker than the bravos snapdragon 1ghz spec ?
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
thats called overclocking, the processor runs by default on 998MHZ but can be overclocked up to 1267MHZ and still function as it should...
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
Yes Jagdish84 but what am searching for is eggs for eggs froyo

Yes jagdish84,

Thing is from my perspective battery longevity is as important as perf, no good having a hotrod in your pocket if you cant keep it in fuel.

Ideally I would love a stock vanilla froyo on my desire that enabled me to add and remove all software packages that 3rd party vendors introduce.

Ramping up the processor must impact on battery longevity. Its all a balancing act in the 1st instance its a mobile device not a hotrod!.

I wish id got a nexus one!.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Frools:
not neccesarily, a faster cpu gets whatever task you're doing done and switches back to low frequency mode more quickly than a slower cpu

so while it uses more power at top speed it spends more time idle

also use setcpu to set the maximum speed to 998 and you've got exactly the same as stock, really not a big deal
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
thanks frools,

Thanks frools

yes I had read that elsewhere also.

Not paid for setcpu ere!

Regards
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
battery life - re froolz

I was anticipating a battery longevity improvement on those ground Froolz with 2.2 but find it is as bad or worse with 2.2 leading to my frustration.

I have 2 spares and I keep them all in rotation but still find all battery meter software estimates way out.

I know what I am doing with threads , processes and packet data and keep them all to a minimum only enabling when I need but still find I get no more than about 7hrs.

Googles Shmidt was quoted saying "if your getting less than a day out of your device there is something wrong"
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
my bad - larry page!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/googles-larry-page-says-theres-something-wrong-if-your-andro/
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
performance expectation for desire ...

if you inspect this article benchmarking on nexus one :

http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/android-2-2-froyo-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/

youll find linpack score of nearly 40mflops when nexus one has same processor but slightly less ram than bravo!

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3069&idPhone2=3077

we cant account for the kernel used but surely it wasnt OC'd

Regards
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I reverted back to IEFs kernel because RichardTrips automatically overclocks.

I did this out of concern for the battery life / system stability.

IEFs kernel is not slower, it is just undervolted and not overclocked by default, you can still overclock and get high benchmark results by downloading SetCPU, its free to use and download and you can get it from right here if you search for it :)

I would like to add that Linpack is a terrible benchmark and it is in no way an accurate tool for measuring any kind of system performance.

I recommend Quadrant if you actually want a real system benchmark for Android.

I will change back to Richards kernel in the next release if this is what people are wanting.

The Linpack screenshot I have posted is of the current kernel by IEF when SetCPU is being used!
[Desire Android Development] vibranze:
Pardon for my ignorance but I found that some apps that available in HTC stock ROM are missing in this ROM, e.g. FM Radio, Flickr, etc.

Are they purposely excluded? If yes, where can I get the .apk if they are available?

Thanks.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
fm radio only avail on htc everything else can be found in market

FM radio is (c) HTC and requires thier copywritten kernel which they havnt released source code for to access.

Everything else you'll find equiv. for free in the android market.
[Desire Android Development] vibranze:
Thanks for the info, appreciated it ;)
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
thanks for clarifying AdamG :)

My preference is that OC is a user preference , that leaves the user more control for refinement.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
anyone tried meLIanTQs fix for phone.apk regarding Echo probs?
[Desire Android Development] cfchong:
The white noise is still there...sounds like raining in the background...

Echo is there too...
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
well, fresh install show me 41, bow its 38+ on stock keernel
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
AdamG:is it possible to have just a stock kernel without UV or OC at all?

Linpack/Quadrant are showing same % drop in performance (about 20% than N1 scores)
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
I tried. It couldn't solve.

It seems i will get back to stock rom until this problem fixed
[Desire Android Development] om8g:
Is it normal that the battery is drained by 50 % overnight. I'm using 1.4a. The reason why i'm asking is that with HTC stock rom, I only lost 4-5 %
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
How can i be sure that appsd is active ?

In Leo Parts there is a data storage options.

Under it there is a menu checked " Old App2sd"

What does this means ?
[Desire Android Development] ranzassel:
In 1.2 I had the problem that each time I rebooted my Desire some of the Desktop-Widgets/Links lost their icon. In 1.3 everything worked fine, exception the white noise/echo problem. I skipped 1.4.

In 1.5 my desktop icons/links are also loosing icons during reboot, but this time its not only the icon. When clicking them Froyo tells me that those apps are not longer installed. But while saying this I can use all those apps from the main menu (launcher).

It is really annoying to flash my device every day and to have new issues each time. I am going back to Desire stock rom and will be waiting for the official update. Hope I won't take to long, as I really need the WiFi hotspot for using my iPad (which does not want to work with WiFi Tether from the market).
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
That APP2SD is active ;-)
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Please? :-D
[Desire Android Development] Manuzhai:
Not overclocking by default definitely sounds like the right thing to do, especially if it's relatively easy to get SetCPU for those who really want it.

BTW, love your work with this... Especially the fact that you actually have a bug tracker instead of only allowing people to dig through enormous forum threads.
[Desire Android Development] Fille84:
My battery dropped 30% during the night with v1.5. With the older releases I lost like 7% during a night. Anyway, this is a great rom and I hope you fix this til the next version.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
strange, mine drops 5% during 8 hours which is normal
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Still no succes flashing 1.5 :(

Only bootloops for me. I don't get it, because i can flash all other roms without a problem, but i really want this one to work :)
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Wow, cool development of this great Rom! Thanx, 1.5 is working very smooth here :-)
[Desire Android Development] Fille84:
I have wifi enabled all the time and lost 7-8 % in about 8 hours. But like I said with the latest release about 30%.

I guess you have turned off 3g with background data and wifi etc and thats why your battery only drops 5% in 8 hours?
[Desire Android Development] Venzent:
I have exactly the same probs with the icons. I think it has something to do with the apps2sd. I now run shadowfrost which uses a different version of apps2sd (i cannot choose to move apps from applications), but everything goes by default to the sd. Anyway, here i don't have the problems with the icons.

Please fix this prob so i can go back to OpenDesire ;-)
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
Anyone got any idea to sort out my apps i got on my sd card not showing up on phone since i upgraded to 1.5? how should i be turning on or activating apps2sd as i turned it to external in leo parts yet phone cant see my apps.
[Desire Android Development] danne_jo:
the sync of facebook and google account is working but it doesent do it automatic. my last update was 21.30 and the time is now ~11.00. had to uncheck the auto sync and check it agin to start the sync.
[Desire Android Development] Inquitus:
I flashed this last night, just added Setcpu and tweaked it this morning.

Quadrant 1623

Linpack 46

Great job AdamG
[Desire Android Development] genoxide:
you have facebook contact pictures in your gcontancts? also is the link to their facebook going to yours?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Does anybody has ext4 working with this rom? If it's not supported maybe that's causing the bootloops ?
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Automatic brightness still is too low on 1.5
[Desire Android Development] craylim:
Haha...I thought my eyes were playing tricks. Yes, I am also seeing the disappearing icon with OD 1.5 despite having just installed those apps.

Flashed back to 1.4a while the bug gets sorted out.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Can somebody repost 1.4c for me ?
[Desire Android Development] Dancube:
Yep, mine was boot looping with an ext 4 partition, after redoing it as ext 3 it was fine.
