@Adam: i've redownloaded 1.6b now and WiFi works fine. Good work! It's time to give you a beer :)
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Still no 144MB after first boot.

BTW AdamG can u look at this issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723073

It would be great if u could share some light on it. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] none88:
Adam, can you remove Maps as well since it is downloadable from Market as well? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
You people don't get it. I just received my money back from HTCCODE... because THEY CAN'T UNLOCK MY PHONE! :mad:

The codes for Orange Romania are scrambled :mad:

LE: Htcsimunlock did not responded to my e-mail yet... will wait and see! But I doubt it will work.
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
I have the problem that after a reboot, some of my apps are displayed twice in the appdrawer. I can work around the bug by moving those apps to phone, and back to sdcard or vice versa (depending on where they are installed currently).

OpenDesire 1.6a (but it's not in 1.6b's changelog)

LauncherPro Beta (latest market version)

Anyone?
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Yeah, had that happen to a friend of mine with HD2, a while ago. It's because the device (Desire, this time around) is relatively new to the market and the unlock codes haven't been leaked out yet (codes are IMEI and operator dependent).

You might want to try one of the local shops, if you're in Bucharest (eurotelgsm.ro for example).
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I had that with Terminal Emulator. A reboot fixed it, the second icon disappeared afterwards.
[Desire Android Development] craylim:
i saw that happen once.....did exactly what you just did and the problem was fixed....didn't think much of it....

it's been fine since....no recurrence...

btw was on 1.6a then...
[Desire Android Development] Crew One:
I also have a WiFi issue. The network seems to connect but in the browser (stock or Dolphin HD) nothing works.

I redownloaded it but the filesize is the exact same as before. (No changes?)

google doesn't work, or htc.com.

Did several reboots. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
AdamG: can I replace mail.apk in your rom with the one from desire 2.2 to have full exchange support?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Adam, thanks for the smaller bootimage. Will you use this size for all your future releases, otherwise we can't take any benefit of your wifi fixes.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
you can try it, let me know how it goes
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
will let you know within an hour :)
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I can't unlock my phone with the home button anymore.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
does not work. stock froyo has no some security features (eg. in dj droid when configuring exchange there is a pop up to install exchange security features (pincode) - wonder if this can be extracted from the htc 2.2 rom...
[Desire Android Development] lomdar:
Sorry I know it's off topic, but when you say full exchange support, is syncing tasks in there too?
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
no, there is no program in android for that
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
After re-downloading and re-installing 1.6b I'm still getting a non-working wifi connection after a while (and a few disconnects/reconnects). Absolutely no websites work in the browser after some time, and Maps doesn't find a working connection either. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Seems to be a DNS issue. Steps to reproduce:

1. Reboot the phone, just to get some initial conditions. Let it connect to a wifi network upon boot.

2. Open up browser, go to some websites. Works ok.

3. Disable wifi (from the power bar). Leave a few seconds, re-enable wifi.

4. Current website in the browser works - I can surf around.

5. Try going to a different website (not in recent history). It fails immediately with 'Web page not available'. Looks like a DNS issue.
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Any time frame for the 1.6c release or at least a working solution for the wifi sleep issue for the desires that have a mac address starting with 38:e7:d8 ??
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
very very big problem for me.. I hope Adam fix it..
[Desire Android Development] lomdar:
There is an app that can do it: TouchDown...
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
Also having problems with wifi in 1.6b

Can't browse to any website. However if i browse to a website with 3g first, then it will work with wifi.
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
I also have a problem with wifi, it works initially when I update from 1.6a to 1.6b but if I switch off wifi and then switch it back on nothing can connect to the internet. I downloaded the rom again 2 minutes ago and re-installed it and I still have the problem, when I go back to 1.6a everything is fine.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Considering moving all changes I made in vendor and changing to the Cyanogen git and using that as the ROM base, what does everyone think?
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
Very smart choice! Very smart!

BTW: I just flashed 1.6b and no more automatic APNs for Internet and MMS :( (I know how to set the Internet APN, but the MMS one is very complex)
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Sounds great.
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
Same here!

And the GenieWidget can't find my city anymore... actually it can't find any city!!!!:(
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
eurotelgsm.ro has no entry for Desire :(
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
Genie widget is dead here too. Is it related to the rom?
[Desire Android Development] adev:
Had same problems too, no internet connection (wifi or edge) on 1.6b, but after wipe all it is ok.

-adev
[Desire Android Development] fabiodroid:
I have some problems with wifi too, i cant find any wifi!

Before opendesire 1.6b i had DJDROID and with it i had no problems, i after installing opendesire i also installed the wififix but nothing it doesnt find anything...
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Let's try it out!

Edit: what Do you think about an alternative testing-release?
[Desire Android Development] lumich:
1.6a -> 1.6b

WiFi works fine

Genie Widget works fine

only powerbutton unlocks - fine ;)
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
Pretty much same problem, not even the Google News & Weather widget cannot find my location. But it might not be 1.6b related, since it started happening yesterday around noon, when I'm 100% I didn't have 1.6b installed since it wasn't out yet. And it used to work prior to that. Not sure what's wrong though.
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
Genie widget was dead in 1.6a also.... don't know what's going on. It stopped working when I flashed the new AmonRA 1.7.0.1 Recovery for EXT4 yesterday evening.

After I've formatted my ext4 partition with this recovery, GenieWidget stopped working. It can't find any city in the world!

I don't know if it's related to the recovery....:confused:
[Desire Android Development] deepsweet:
1.6a -> 1.6b w/o wipe.

WiFi connected but there is no internet. 3G works fine.

maybe we have some problems with adblock hosts file?
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
NO.... that's NOT fine, and that's NOT cool. It is actually stupid to use that idiot button situated on top of the phone to wake the screen, just to take a look at the time and if you have messages.

The MENU button as just fine :mad:
[Desire Android Development] Mikulec:
Genie widget is dead here too, but it looks like its not rom related as it was working on 1.6a and stopped working after 2 days without any change to the rom.
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
not adblock, I tested a telnet directly on an ip port 80, didnt work

but nslookup on google server still works !

firewall or route problem ?
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
I have tried another ROM from MoDaCo and GenieWidget does not work either.

So it's not related to the ROM or the Recovery.... it's something with the servers used by the widget, I think...
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
That 'idiot' button is more than adequate IMO, especially when you are using a N1 neoprene case to hold the phone.

Fold back the top of the case, press power, get time, press power, sleep...

Why use Menu? Or any other button? Thats just daft if you ask me... Previous builds of OD caused many Many wakeups in my pocket, battery life was just pathetic due to this...

So I patched it to wake on power only, battery life is bang on again :)

Each to there own eh...
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
google goggles has been the most contested program in froyo builds. In other builds it's not working correctly. Flash 10.1 is installable, just need to do more digging instead of market search.

Major upgrade on the Rom would be VideoRecording and Led Notification.

Keep up the good work Adam!
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
To the author: I think that this build.prop should fix facebook sync and should give us Flash directly from the market, it's slighly edited from the nexus one build.prop.
[Desire Android Development] Aladar42:
Disagree. I am Czech and I don't see the need for it.
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
How about enabling over clocking on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
The problem with Goggles lies somewhere in the kernel. It neither works on ported Roms nor on AOSP builds. Intersectraven from the Nexus forums fixed the same/a similar bug in his kernel, maybe we should ask him what he did to fix it so kali and defer know what to do.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
I don't disagree with him, but this release should be as clean as possible and only contain necessary files. Clearly, not everyone wants the IME - so if you want it, flash it :)
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
AdamG want's to keep his rom as much stock as possible. Right now its a fresh build with some issues on it - I believe that overclocking will increase number of issues and instability - this could be avoided by keeping it as clean as it is.

Experiments can be individually :)
[Desire Android Development] Cuchulainx:
the flash apk is available if you search XDA, no idea if it's up to date though but it works very well, especially with streaming video.

The main problem is a lot of other apps missing from the market, no idea how the market determines what to/not to show unless it reads some kind of variable from the firmware itself.
[Desire Android Development] Dextrosan:
Now I have to disagree with you. Although I personally am not bothered by this, I think it is a very pleasant option to be able to write in your native language. Some users may find that convenient. For instance if I installed this ROM to my girlfriend’s Desire, I bet she would definitely prefer to have this option.

I am not sure how much space is saved thanks to the removal of foreign IMEs, but I think that it doesn't outweigh the benefits of having them at your disposal just in case.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Tried that, with no luck.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Well... if all supported languages and keyboard are the part of the stock build - why not?
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
how does one go about enabling it then? If I was so inclined...
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
where you send your complains about instability then? to AdamG or to the person who have made oc'ed kernel?
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
So I'd need a modified kernel to enable overclocking... ok.

That's all I was asking :)
[Desire Android Development] nagygabe:
I don't think this ROM needs overclocking features. I don't think any of the gsm roms need overclocking. The main goal should be stability.
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
My apps2sd+ doesn't seem to be working properly.

When I install an app, my available internal memory drops by the size of the app each time.

Do I need to enable it anywhere?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Another nice try, another fail: still no paid apps, no Flash player. :-(

Thank you anyway!
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Random question and I may have missed this, but if it's built from source is this running off the Desire kernel meaning all hardware should be working? Interested to give it a try but would rather wait until it's more developed
[Desire Android Development] Aladar42:
I'm not saying noone would make use of it, I'm just adressing the point that it's a "must have" for everyone outside English-speaking countries.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Open from your phone and look again (astro, open as text file).

I am sure that your build.prop didn't change at all :)

If there is "desire" or "bravo", then it's the old build.prop.

If there is Nexus One and passion, then it was really useless ;)
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
I prefer to use only the top button as well. It gets pressed rarely when in pocket, as opposed to the menu button.
[Desire Android Development] thebastian74:
Exactly...
[Desire Android Development] craylim:
I have no preference but the top button seems a little flimsy....not as sturdy as the menu or home buttons. Haha...just afraid it will soon fall off with repeated pressings....

The best button IMHO is the trackball button.
[Desire Android Development] thematrix2:
The BEST button to wake the screen the are all of the buttons, except volume and power ones! :rolleyes:

Why? Because you hold the phone in your right hand, and your thumb is right there... all over those buttons. I need another hand to wake the phone from the power button :mad:
[Desire Android Development] jj_glos:
Hopefully the battery use my get better again with 1.6b? Under two hours from disconnecting from charger and I'm down to 90% Hardly any use of the phone :(

Trying Juicedefender and SetCPU again to see if it helps at all.
[Desire Android Development] Crew One:
Same problem here. Did a redownload just now and a complete wipe & reflash. The problem persists.
[Desire Android Development] nemolivier:
same here, after some time, wifi is said connected but no connnection. Need to reboot to solve. And loose it after.

3G works.

1.6b

I remember AOSPDesir have the same issue. Since new radio ?
[Desire Android Development] Locked65:
is the battery improved in 1.6b ?

i recharged my battery last night, up to 100% then it went for about 10-20 min and it dropped to 88%. then i went to bed and waked up to a battery capacity of 25%..

Isnt that a bit bad ? i mean that the battery should hold longer than that.

//Locked :)
[Desire Android Development] x2srj:
my battery is like this... it's either because I didn't do the 3 hour charge when I got the phone that I've messed the battery up...

or

I have to exchange emails running as well as Facebook sync...
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Can someone post a link to 1.6a again ? I really need the wifi to work.
[Desire Android Development] dblfun:
Unfortunately my wifi stopped working too.

It works on my home network, but not on the internet.

Power button unlock is perfect!
[Desire Android Development] Locked65:
it is not because you didnt charge the battery when you got it. newer batteries use another tecnology than the old ones and does therefor not need to charge before use.

I killed all apps and stuff before i went to bed. I have also turned off all auto sync.
[Desire Android Development] planter88:
http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/roms/opendesire_v1.6a.zip
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Thnx, i really hope this will be fixed :)
[Desire Android Development] fabiodroid:
Nothing, i've try to install OpenDesire 1.6a, 1.6b, SetROM and wifi still doesnt works!

If i install DJDROID everything it's ok!

I've installed WifiFix too, still nothing to do, i can turn on wifi, it says that is searching for wifi and then does nothing.

Anyone with the same problem? Here i read that many people has problem with wifi but they can find wifi, i cant.
[Desire Android Development] Kid_Dream:
Really like this rom...but can u have another version where u can wake the phone by pressing the "home" button? It's more convenient and easier too.
[Desire Android Development] x2srj:
+1 I like this and am used to it...
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Hi, great ROM any chance of a black bar update (preferably looking the same as the one in ShadowFrost) and 2367 OCUV kernel those are the only 2 things stopping me from using this ROM. I'd be incredibly grateful. :D
[Desire Android Development] chuxsta:
Lots of requests for wake button changes,

Would it possible to add an option menu to choose how to wake your phone? That way everyone is happy.

I personally have no idea how to do what you guys are doing so its just a suggestion

Also.... people asking for minor preference change could try the xda kitchen an I think you can add your own apps n stuff to the rom
[Desire Android Development] wirwars:
Guys,

WiFi doesnt work after flashing 1.6b, but when i run su and /system/etc/init.d/90dnsfix it works again.

Can somebody tell me how to remount the system partition in RW?

Werner
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
have u guys re-downloaded the updated 1.6b???

It works fine....I had no internet on wifi and I re-downloaded and flashed again with no wipes and now everything works.
[Desire Android Development] cranejar:
First of all, great works, Adam.

My wifi stops working every 5mins.

I installed 1.6b with full wipe.:(

Did I miss something to do or it is a tiny bug?
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
confirmed for /system/etc/init.d/90dnsfix, it works again too

[Desire Android Development] Locked65:
To everybody with wifi problems, have you downloaded the "new" version adam uploaded ?

Anybody with answers on the battery trouble btw ? is it any better in 1.6b ?
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
Affirmative, the wifi problem remained.
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
Yes, redownloaded after Adam posted that a repost of 1.6b is available. It worked at first, but then as soon as I turn off wifi and then back on, it stops working. I suspect it might be DNS related.
[Desire Android Development] Locked65:
Ok, then i have nothing more to help with :P
[Desire Android Development] blubber83:
You can only get RW access to your /system in recovery mode.
[Desire Android Development] wirwars:
Adancau,

Did you try to su and run /system/etc/init.d/90dnsfix?
[Desire Android Development] sangreal:
Can also confirm redownloaded the latest 1.6b and wifi problem there as per last couple of posts.
[Desire Android Development] fabiodroid:
More info on my problem:

I can't get wireless with Linksys and WPA2, i can stay close to it, nothing it doesnt work.

No problems with wireless without encryption!
[Desire Android Development] adancau:
Yeah, that fixed it :) Thanks. But I guess I might have to do that every time I disconnect/connect to a new wifi for the time being.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
i got wifi issues again also now :(

strange as it was working fine last night
[Desire Android Development] adam235:
WLAN doesnt work. i get a ip but it doenst resolve a domain. so i guess its a problem with the dns configuration
[Desire Android Development] wirwars:
Thanks, it works now with: adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Desire Android Development] wirwars:
hmm still problems:

cp nano /system/bin

cp: can't create '/system/bin/nano': Cannot allocate memory

somebody who knows an good shell editor? (vi is to difficult for me :))
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
My Jedi training is not yet completed, this is beyond me :confused:
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:
i cant run rthunter2 on 1.6, is it my fault or rt2 doesnt support froyo?
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
Another one with a dodgy internet connection. I've just upgraded to the latest radio too (v5), so not 100% sure if its that or the ROM (although it sounds like the latter). Intermittent 3G connection, and wifi loses the internet.
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
You need to be in recovery mode, from that error, you are trying to do it while the phone is in normal mode.

Recovery is:

power off

hold VOL-DOWN and press POWER

select RECOVERY

yada yada..
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
Ok... I think I've discovered a "fix" for the WiFi Network issues...

I'm just testing it now (my end)
[Desire Android Development] lomdar:
Same problem here: No 3G, only Edge and wifi losses all the time. OpenDesire v1.6b and latest radio(v5). No problems with 1.6a.
[Desire Android Development] radiosilence:
How do I get x264 working?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I hope you'll get it to work.
[Desire Android Development] none88:
I just wanted to report, that I don't have any problems with the latest build (1.6b).
[Desire Android Development] Mentes:
optical trackpad issue

hi Adam,

with 1.6 I have the trackpad problem. it stopps working after a while. and it is very sensitiv compared to 1.5. with 1.5 I have no problems???

any idea?

i also did a full wipe before flashing the rom
[Desire Android Development] fabiodroid:
Same here, the trackpad doesn't work after a while
[Desire Android Development] radiosilence:
Yeah, wifi connects and stuff, just nothing can use it :(
[Desire Android Development] radiosilence:
So yeah, I'm heading back to 1.6a

Edit: arrggh my home and search buttons now do not work :(
[Desire Android Development] x2srj:
I'm back on 1.6a; the wifi issue was too much for me in 1.6b
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
Same problem as yesterday: no connection to web via WiFi :(
[Desire Android Development] cranejar:
Mine is working after reboot, I think you can try it:)
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
Unfortunately I can't sort this...

I tried modifying the dhcpcd files under /etc/dhcpcd... to assign the correct dns to net.dns1 on connect, but it made no difference...

Quick digging on google, all I find are references to

framework/base/wifi/*.java

In there, there is a function which assigns net.dns on connection of a new network, so I guess its a priority issue or something...

I am having a play though with the sources, and building my own ROM/Kernel combo to see if I can get any joy myself... Followed the FroYo building guide/CM instructions... so now its sat compiling froyo, I just hope it doesn't brick my phone lol!
[Desire Android Development] Hummelchen:
reboot every time does not make sense...
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
yeah it would get annoying to keep having to reboot all the time.

Maybe the H264 addition has broke something.
[Desire Android Development] jj_glos:
Mine does it as well occasionally. Just having a on\off button and toggling the Wifi gets it going again for me.
