Time for a real forum ?!

I really would like to see a designated forum for OD. This single thread has nearly 1000 pages soon and its getting more and more difficulte to follow and extract infos.

If Adam do not want to put his forum back, we might simply ask the XDA admins to create us a own folder.

This would be really helpfull to put questions and solutions close togeher and avoid the plenty redundant questions.

You haven't been using setcpu 2.0.2?

Do you have stability without setcpu?

Something is wrong with the GPS in this ROM.

The "GPS Essentials" App is finding many satellites, but it takes a unusual long time before they are "used in fix".

PS: My AGPS is on, but this have no influence on the pure functionality of the "original" GPS...

great for sharing opendesire via git!

unfortunately, i'm getting a connection refused:

$ repo init -u git://android.adamg.co.uk/android.git -b froyo; repo sync

android.adamg.co.uk[0: 217.112.87.71]: errno=Connection refused

fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)

fatal: cannot obtain manifest git://android.adamg.co.uk/android.git

also, i wanted to request "unionfs" filesystem support in the kernel. keep up the awesome work! I'm using opendesire since 1.x and its just great.

good decicion to switch back to the stock keyboard.. works best for me.

I'm always patching out google-surveiliance-crap on my phone, (or at least i'm trying to.. ) once im getting used to compile and modify opendesire, i might share my google-free stuff somewhere..

[Desire Android Development] torwag:
I still have a battery drain of 10%/h in Standby .

I assumed early it might be missing or wrong settings in build.prop.

I added a few lines specific to my provider but the problem remains. Also I believe it is sligthly better.

I have some more facts to share and discuss.

1. I noticed my data signal in the notificiation bar switchs frequently between 3g and H. Does other people with and without battery drain notice the same?

2. For me it is really the radio part. Putting my phone on flight mode stops the battery drain. Wifi was off at all time. Thus, it seems not be a defect app or hanging process as many suggest. Please check and turn flight mode on and off to verify to which group you belong.

3. I would like to try an older radio rom. Why does the radio rom conflict with camera and other hardware? Arn't this independent modules? Or contains the rom all properitary binary blobs for all those modules? If so, can't we extract the files from the image use the original radio firmeware (which worked well for me), and use the latest firmeware for all other modules. Repack and flash it?

4. It does not depends on signal quality. I have the same drain for good and bad signal strength.

Really people help me to sort this out. Its a no-go bug for people who face this problem and much more important then any “which keyboard should be in stock“-question.

I might be capable to hunt down that bug (I am new to android but I am well aware of embedded linux and

electronic development) but I need more infos.

[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
How to set Autobrightness

Since some folks requested it, I thought I'd explain what I did:

The autobrightness settings are under Settings->OpenDesire Settings->User Interface->Automatic Backlight.

"Light sensor filter" -> Disabled

Under "Light levels":

-> Use custom -> Enabled

-> Screen dim level -> Set to 10

-> Allow light decrease -> Enabled

Now for the fun part, the settings under "Edit other levels...":

(see attachment)

At the top of that screen is the light level currently being reported by the sensor (the raw one). The light sensor is at the top of the screen underneath the black bezel, just to the left of the HTC logo. Move you hand over it to make the light change and see what readings you get. With my phone, my sensor reports only 7 discreet values. Those values (for me) are 10, 225, 320, 640, 1280, 2600 and 10240.

So I set the number of levels to 7 and used those values as the "Lower" boundaries. Next, I set the screen brightness I want for each of those levels. I used increments of roughly 45 to give fairly even steps. Notice also that I set "buttons" to 0 for all levels so that the key backlight is always off.

That's it, in a nutshell.

Thanks guys. Looks like GPS really is borked on 3.4.2, with the exception of Alexis_p's - @Alexis: Are you on 3.4.2?... I'm having the same symptoms as Woodyblade (only network location in Maps, no GPS) and no (none at all!) satellites with GPS Status in a spot where I usually get a fix pretty quickly.

Reverted back to 3.3.2 and it's perfectly fine again, with quick GPS fixes in AGPS mode and fixes within about 30-40 seconds without AGPS. :(

Not standard no, but in the setting you can change to it.

[Desire Android Development] kamikaze321:
hmmm

Adam 1st i want to thank you for doing al this, but i have some problems.

Why messing around with apps, and things nobody care about? I just want one USABLE release, i dont care about kernel, and nobody here is able to name me what is the difference between any kernel. Since 3.0.5 release it was only messing around. I relly cant say what the difference between 3.0.5 and 3.4.2 - i need to watch at the change log. But I know what is not working anymore.

1. GPS not working at all.

2. Battery drain.

3. i cant disable my location for google search, not in browser and not in settings, i get FC every time i try.

Thats the only things i have noticed, so this rom is not usable at all, now we have to wait for another update solving these problems, and I bet you will try to add new features again, wich again will breake something. Dont do it. Fix known bugs, when its all ok, then add new kernel and apps as a major update. etc.

Dont get me wrong, I really think its the best rom around, at least 3.0.5 one. And I know how much work it is and that you are doing it for free - but just think about it. It there any way I can donate a bit of money?, paypal?

By the way, is my mobile overclocked with the new release? i dont want it!!
[Desire Android Development] redline2097:
Unroot your desire kamikaze please or shut the **** up.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Wonder why some people have it working and some don't :(

Were you completely outside at the time? No buildings around, not in a car or anything like that?

The ROM is actually much less buggy than official ROMs for a lot of other devices, so I don't really see why you're complaining - Adam puts in a lot of time fixing bugs, and still finds time to add new (usually awesome) features. The bugs that inevitably pop up from time to time are fixed quickly if Adam can fix them, and there were quite a few more or less completely bug free releases in between the buggy ones with new features... you just need to find them ;). 3.3.2 is more or less completely bug free, for instance, and there is absolutely no abnormal battery drain on any of the releases.

Same here, but it doesn't seem to be consistent - a few people on 3.4.2 are reporting working GPS... although more seem to be reporting it as broken. Not sure what to make of it, really :confused:

Check your configuration and background processes (syncing and so on)

Wipe.

OD is only _able_ to overclock. If you don't install SetCPU and set the overclock, it'll be running stock speeds (1GHz).

Sheesh, PMS much? :|
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Wow some people really have a bee in their bonnet. Want to blame everyone else. I agree unroot your desire or shut up.

Battery drainage is your settings. Gps is a bug.

Yes, you do. But haven't you read anything at all in this thread? Seems to me plenty of people are very happy with this ROM. I know I am. Now, instead of whinning, perhaps you should try and figure out where you went wrong in installing this thing. Folks around here are always eager to help.

GPS not working. GPS status had 2 satellites but could not fix on them. This was done in a location which has worked previously.

[Desire Android Development] The Asgard:
Not usable and the best ROM around, ummm. Luckily your view is the minority. Most like the frequent tweaks and updates. If you don't like this ROM use another mate. :)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Then it'll be on 100%... I don't really understand the question. You can set up different light sensor ranges and assign each range a certain brightness value...

But GPS usually works fine there, right?

Another one.

I count about 6:2 for the not-working folks.

It's not the GPS system itself acting up, because OD 3.3.2 still works fine :(
[Desire Android Development] kottmannen:
This is a great ROM, and I really like the power control widget, but I would like it even more if the flashlight option would be able to utilize the LED light instead of just a white screen.

I know that there are other widgets like LED light, that does this, but the power control widget looks better.

Also why is there no icon indicating when headphones are plugged in?

Otherwise, great work Adam, keep it up.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Not really a ROM issue, just the power control widget... there's tons of widgets that look just like the included one - surely one of them must support what you're looking for? I just use Quick Settings because you can pull it up with a long push of the search button :)

The icon is a Sense feature.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
I think this is an issue with aosp.

[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Working as intended as far as I know.
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
Sorry, may be my mistake but...in my sense rom if i set the brightness to automatic all works.

In this rom how can i have the same result?

Can you give a step by step tutorial?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] etix:
Yap it's free.

So far it seems my GPS is working (in a range of 10 meters), and im inside.

Twitter works, overclock works (if i trust Quadrant).
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Right. Expect the brightness doesn't go down low enough.

Sure. See my post a few pages back.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7686696&postcount=8379 Is what i use to base my custom settings on.

In general, the higher light threshold you go, the brighter you want the screen to be.

I'll give a quick tutorial:

1. Settings>OD Settings>User Interface>Automatic Backlight

2. Tick "enabled", tick "use custom", tick "Allow light decrease"

3. Select "Edit other levels..."

4. Modify the levels.

5. Select "Save & Apply"

I use 40 for my 0-10 limit, purely because anything lower and the colours don't show very well on my screen. I like vibrance.

And then just roughly follow those settings from that post. Once you get used to it, you'll play around with the settings to make it how you like it.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Just go to Settings => OpenDesire Settings => User Interface => Automatic Backlight => Edit Other Levels

There you can set all the levels:

-Each line corresponds to a brightness range that you can set yourself

-"Lower" is the lower boundary for a brightness range

-"Upper" is the upper boundary for the brightness range

-"Screen" is the screen brightness for the brightness range between "Lower" and "Upper" in that line

-"Buttons" is the button backlight brightness (the Home/Back/Search/Menu buttons) for that brightness range

The light sensor goes from 10 (darkest) to 10240 (brightest), in about 7 steps (10, 80?, 250, 320, 1280, 2600, 10240 IIRC), so set your brightness ranges according to that.

In the "Automatic Backlight" Menu (one level up) you can set up a light sensor filter if you find it reacts too dramatically to small changes in lighting. You can also enable brightness going down (usually it only changes upwards) and apply a certain amount of hysteresis in the downwards movement so that it doesn't go up and down and up and down all the time.

Not much else to explain really :p
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Haha bemymonkey :) Guess we both just typed out quick tutorials

Flashing back and forth to ascertain the cause of the GPS bug... 3.3.2 is fantastic, even gets a complete satellite fix with AGPS on when sitting here at my desk (3 meters from the room's only window, with the thick black shades closed). Let's see what 3.4.2 says in exactly the same spot, with exactly the same settings, on exactly the same device :p.
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
wooooow.

Thanks to all!!!Honestly it's a bit complicated.

I must see and read careffully all what have you wrote me and make my perfect level!

Then i'll share it with you :)

I'm a sense addicted but i want more speed and i think this rom is the best for speed, right?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
How do i test how well a signal my gps is getting?

Yes this rom outspeeds sense by a long way. And the constant support etc you get with it makes it much better.

I remember when i first rooted my desire and was looking for a nice rom to pick. I loved sense. Tbh now i find it ugly and can't go back to it...i tried and failed...

OpenDesire will grow on you
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
:D Very nicely done, you win ;)
[Desire Android Development] tonyep:
Yeah. I did a full wiped when installing 3.4 though then flashed 3.4.2 afterward without entering the initial setup.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Try "GPS Status" from the market.

-edit- Result for 3.4.0: 5/5 satellites, fix took longer than 3.3.0 though (about 90 seconds with AGPS on).
