[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
ah well, no worries. i've taken the plunge and flashed it anyway - it looks incredible. the 3D menu is very sexy.

i can probably do without the camera for the short term anyway ..

Just restoring the backups and will give it a good thrashing ..

Has anyone got a link to DeFroST_1.6_camcorder_high_res.zip by the way please ??
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8364749/DeFroST_1.6_camcorder_high_res.zip
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Thanks for that, will flash that later on.

I'm a bit torn though - i'm looking at the DeFrost rom and that has the 3D menu system and everything, and also has the camera working.

Is there a general consensus as to which rom is best ?

obviously i don't want to take the thread off topic, but just wondered - i'll have a root around (pardon the pun..) to see if i can find a "which is best" sort of thing.
[Desire Android Development] phunkycow:
The main difference is that OpenDesire is compiled from source specifically for our Desire, while Defrost is basically a port from the nexus FRFxx builds. It's really up to you try them both and make up your mind :)
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Thanks - might try them both then. Battery usage would be a big factor i guess.

But then if the camera issues is fixed on OpenDesire, it may well be the perfect rom.

Now if i could just work out how to get more widgets ... heh :)
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Installed Here OpenDesire 1.6 Pre 2.

The only bug that I see is that the WiFi disconnect when the screen turns off, even setting the Policy to Never sleep.

Hope you can find some kind of fix for that.

BTW: No echo, white noise, Mobile Network disconnection.
[Desire Android Development] chrissyg123:
any sign of adam?? he has a bit of competition now from the french in the opensource market :D
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
I pump in thier general direction

Yeah but its powered by snails and it stinks of garlic.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I have no competition this is still the only whole 100% stock rom with the only additions being spare parts and google apps.

Anyway I will try to do v1.6 Final tonight, if it isn't here tonight it will be here by tomorrow at the latest, as you all know I'm in London visiting my Mrs at the moment, I would like to give you my work quicker but I have my personal life to attend to at the moment.

Expect things back to normal from Tuesday.
[Desire Android Development] chrissyg123:
hahahha. i reckon adam's watching either big brother or the news

edit: aah i stand corrected, good on ya mate. have a good one
[Desire Android Development] PaulW21781:
No need to rush Adam, enjoy the weekend :) I'm sure folk can wait while you and your lady have some time to yourselves without bother!!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
we understand :)
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
Yeah have a break its friday ffs!

Yeah its friday! have a kit-kat at least :D
[Desire Android Development] x2srj:
Adam, enjoy time with your Mrs's.. believe me it'll help you in the long run!!

thanks again pal!
[Desire Android Development] StR@ng3r:
I have to second the connection issue. After turning my screen back on, all bars are gone...

When that happens, I am unable to switch to airplane mode.
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Can anybody confirm me that this is a Froyo related issue, because is driving me crazy, and after try to reconfigure my wireless AP with all the posible configuration combinations (cypher, channel, wmm and many other options that I just forgot) it keep happening the same. Screen sleep = Wifi OFF !! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] thebastian74:
I can confirm. I have the same issue with 1.5 also with 1.6 pre 2.

Is not only your phone. :)
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Lets hope some one find a Hack to realy user the wifi policy settings or just ignore it and force the wifi to never sleep.
[Desire Android Development] Eggcake:
Most ROMs seem to have this bug, also DeFrost.
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
The sense 2.2 dj Droid doesn't have the WiFi problem.
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
I'll check that tomorrow. If it work it maybe some kind of tweak of the HTC kernel.:confused:
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
The WiFi policy problem occurs on every non-HTC ROMs, no matter whether it is a port or built from scratch, and no matter whether it is Eclair or Froyo.

The only ROMs that have no problem for now are all those modified on top of the HTC ones. (Modaco's, Pay's and DJ Droid for example.)

I have tried cyanogenmod 5.0.8 and no luck. The weird thing is 5.0.8 runs fine on Magic so I believe the issue must have something to do with HTC's specific implementation for Desire.
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
@AdamG

Actually could you look into this please? Aside from echo/white noise (which has been resolved right now), I think the only severe problem for AOSP is this one. (Someone might argue the LED or light sensor but at lease that does not keep people from using the functionality. And for the WiFi one, we will have to keep the screen on if we want to keep the connection, which is really not an acceptable workaround.)
[Desire Android Development] ranzassel:
I read this very often und simply cannot understand it. I was using OD 1.2, 1.3, 1.5 and never had this problem. I was using my desire as WLAN access point for my Ipad for hours without any problems. And to save battery I always turned off the screen (and locked the device) :confused:
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
Also no problems over here! Works like a charm since OD 1.3.
[Desire Android Development] TheNose:
No rush Adam. Currently using defrost 2.0a, but will definately try opendesire 1.6 out. I'm more of a fan of building from source. :D
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
LED notifications are working just fine for me on 1.6pre2 out of the box.. so that leaves just the WiFi problem.

(autobrightness is also better, IMHO, than on ported Froyo ROMs..still not perfect but not bothersome)
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Same here. LED seems ok, just WiFi and Facebook here.
[Desire Android Development] SLaVcK:
Great work Adam, loving your ROM and looking forward to update to 1.6 final. If I can make a little request, I found very useful in ShadowFrost to press the trackpad rather than the power button to turn the screen on, especially when holding the phone with one hand. Thanks for your work, keep it up!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
You can use any of the four hardware buttons to turn the screen on ;)
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
There is only one thing keeping me away from 1.6 R2:

how many are using it? How many are having data disconnect after screen off?
[Desire Android Development] craylim:
I think they are referring to wifi connection, not wifi tethering .

Can you verify by connecting to your wifi and pinging your desire's IP with screen on and off. For me, as soon as the screen goes off the ping stops. Meaning wifi connection is disrupted.
[Desire Android Development] SLaVcK:
Man, feeling stupid now.. xDD thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I've had no such problems with 1.6pre2.

Relax, your not alone: for a couple of days I was under the impression that just the 'back' button was waking up the device :D
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
Try ping your phone from your computer when the screen is on.

Turn off the screen and ping again.

You will definitely find the problem.
[Desire Android Development] chrissyg123:
i'm getting the wi-fi disconnect problem

EXCEPT

now i've set it to 'sleep when screen is off', it doesn't appear to be disconnecting?

UNLESS

it takes 15mins or more, since that's how long it's been ???
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
Totally agree. This is the only reason that keeps me with DJ Droid while I do hate Sense a lot.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
guys this is a PRE RELEASE your using.

it will be fixed in final.

I had no data issues on 1.5 or 1.6 pre 1.

So it will be fixed.
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
I'm currently running 1.5, everything works fine. Except, just got a low space warning... Might be a very newbie question here, but how simple is it to set up the A2SD? I keep reading about creating partitions and such - surely this doesn't need to be done on the N1 if Google intended it to be simple?

What's the easiest way to go about sticking some apps on the SD?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
if you want to use the better method that will give you more free space then you will need to create a EXT partition. Its really not that hard to do, backup EVERYTHING on your SD and then go into clockwork recovery, partitions menu and then format SD card. It will then ask you for size of swap, EXT and FAT32. Use 0 for swap and then whatever you want for EXT and FAT32. Then your done, put your backed up data back onto SD card after you booted back into android. From then on you wont need to to anything else, everything will be placed on SD.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Oh, I think you misunderstood me (or maybe I misread the original question). When I said I didn't have problems with the data connection, I was referring to the mobile connection, which doesn't seem to disconnect when turning the screen off.

As for WiFi... that's a different story, it will only stay active while the screen is on, disconnects otherwise; hopefully this will be fixed in the 1.6-final version.
[Desire Android Development] noapp:
Right. The problem has been there from the very beginning. It does not only occur on the pre-releases. I am afraid it will not be fixed in 1.6 final as AdamG has not made any promise to fix it. Just hope that we have raised enough attention for him. :)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I take note of everything everyone says, I may not reply to everyone but I am aware of just about every problem and I am as committed today as I was on day one to get us a 100% working froyo rom.
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
Thats why we love Open Desire! :)
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
i think thats kinda unfair.

Adam dont need to reply to every lil bug that people report. He reads it and will keep it in mind.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
1.6 final is half ready, I have it compiled, I have gone back to the froyo-release branch rather than the master branch.

I will also be starting to release the source/mods and a kitchen I have made and full instructions from v1.6.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
thanks adam. what reason made you not use the master branch?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I know i'm a relative n00b to these forums, but Adam sir, you are a legend among men ..

*bows respectfully* .. heh :)

(and is the camera fixed? .. *cough*)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
library incompatibilities with video recording

yes
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
ah ok

keep up the awesome work mate :)
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Will the 1.6 release came with the wifi sleep policy fix or this is something that would be check on later versions ?

BTW: I've just chect the DJDroid Rom and its true, Wifi works there. Maybe looking at the HTC kernel would be the answer.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I will look into fixing it in future releases. Its quite a minor problem at the moment.

It may be fixed in the 2.6.34 kernel which I will be compiling at a later stage.
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Its a minor problem but for me is very very very annoying. Hope you can fix it because I really like you work. ;)
[Desire Android Development] xataxxx:
Looking forward for the source :)
[Desire Android Development] crazymonk12:
Dont worry found out myself.

Working brilliant so far.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
This seems to have been fixed in AOSPDesire. Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7131033&postcount=172

Any chance flashing it to OpenDesire might help?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Can I ask (another) stupid question please (or questions in my case ..) ?

at what point do you actually flash the DeFrost camcorder update ?

do you rename it to 'update' and flash it first? or do you go into the fake flash and flash it then?

and can i just drop it over the top of the camcorder function of any rom ?
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
hang in there

Cam is fixes are in 1.6 final hopefully out shortly.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
I fixed the camera but playback on youtube and recordings seems slow :/ just looking into it.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
no worries - it's not a major issue or anything.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
release is ready, i've fixed the wifi up as well, uploading shortly, just giving it the final check
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Amazing timing lol. I'm in Recovery right now about to nandroid and flash AOSPDesire but now I think I'll wait :p

Will the release fix slow youtube/recording playback btw?
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
Epic! thankx :D

F5 never got pressed so much!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
:)

thanks

will nandroid and charge me fone ready for flash
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
Is this going to require an updated radio, i.e. for those of us unfortunate to be with Orange?
[Desire Android Development] str355:
awesome :D

think i'll start a backup now
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
great, i'm still struggling with ASOPdesire and there's another fix coming up.
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
Hey updates are a good thing :D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
adam do we need a full wipe for this final 1.6 release?

or can we flash over DeFrost 2.0
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
I have formatted and cleared cache........ ready and waiting then I can have a good play with it on my day off tomoro :D:D:D
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
is it up yet??

the changelog didn't reflect any changes
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
yes it will, i will be releasing a separate version for orange users :)

no need to anymore, the release is up

im not sure about coming from defrost, coming from any od pre-release you will be fine.

OpenDesire 1.6 is available to download now!

Important note: I have noticed some flaming in the topic towards other ROM developers, please can I remind users to behave themselves on here. Both richardtrip and meLIanTQ have helped me along the way to bring you OpenDesire and I would like everyone to know this fact!
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Thanks So much Adam. Really appreciate the hard work. Another beer coming your way after pay day. :-)
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
The automatic brightness is ok now or is too low?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
thanks adam!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
it was fixed in my inital 1.6 final, the fix will return in 1.6a
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
thanks Adam... i was waiting it... great work
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Great ! ! !

Is the size of the boot image flashable for devices with bad blocks ?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
have u removed anything Adam?

1.5 was 78mb and this is 66mb
[Desire Android Development] Marreboy:
Any recommendations on the order of flashing the ROM and the radio?

ROM first and radio second?

Thanks for great work Adam.
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
So in this release the fix is not present?
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
That would be much appreciated - any ETA? Presumably it will require some more work from you? I have brought a sim unlock, but currently got no spare sim with which to unlock the phone :(
[Desire Android Development] rexmundo:
what do you mean? Just stick any sim in and when prompted put in the unlock code.. dont need a "spare" sim for it.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
that's right - i unlocked mine and never removed the sim at any point .. i think i just entered the unlock code twice and it worked fine ..

and thanks for the rom adam, fantastic work.
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Ive currently got a 2.2 with sense rom installed, the lite one that I had to update the radio and therefore pay for unlock code for my orange rom, can I install this with that radio or do I need to change that too?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Tried to flash, boot image to big. Can't be flashed on devices with bad blocks.
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
losing signal with new release

Hello, I have flashed this new release 1.6 and I am having same issue as with pre-release 2. After my display goes off, I am losing the signal reception. It does not come on until I restart the device. It was fine in pre-release 1.

Any help? Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] lokkers:
I was under the impression it needs to be a non-Orange sim, and I don't have one of those in the house.
[Desire Android Development] str355:
i'm having the same problem, i flashed over pre-release 1, will try a clean install
[Desire Android Development] twicejr:
Same here

No signal, after display off.

Did a clean install!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Hmm.

Might wait until signal issue gets solved.
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
Same here, after it sleeps I have no signal, restart then its OK again.:confused:
[Desire Android Development] thebastian74:
The Mobile Network still cuts after a few minutes.

D1 Telekom Germany.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I think this is related to the FB sync fix as thats what was added in pre 2 and people saying pre 1 was fine.
[Desire Android Development] TheNose:
Adam. When will the automatic backup of installed apps start working? When I flash a defrost rom my latest installed apps are downloaded and reinstalled automatically.
[Desire Android Development] str355:
wish i saw that before i did a clean install, haha

so v1.6 has the same signal drop problem as v1.6 pre2, v1.6 pre1 was also fine for me, will re-flash that.
[Desire Android Development] newbieee:
answering phone call, bluetooth send

1) Is there some option how to set phone call answering to some hardware button in this ROM? When i have wet or dirty hands it's almost impossible to slide right the icon.

2) Can i send files through bluetooth to another phone directly? Or do i need some special application (have ASTRO file manager)to do this? Which one?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
Cant find my copy of v1.6 pre1 and its seems to have been Zapped from the thread...can someone tell me where I could download again, need my phone back as the final V1.6 is loosing signal when it sleeps??

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
its deffo meLIanTQ's fb sync fix that causes the signal lose as same thing happend lon his ROM exp on his you would loose signal after a few mins. I think he fixed it but not been checking it.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
The signal loss is happening for everyone?

I asked it before but couldn't understand if it so.

BTW, I'm flashing, I have my 1.5 nandroid backup.
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
Does anybody know where I can get the sim tool kit? stk.apk I belive it is.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
glad it's not just me then .. i was using defrost 2.0b before this anyway, so i can just grab that again and wait 'till the signal issue is resolved ..
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I actually DON'T get the signal loss.

I'm not getting it if I manually turn off screen, neither if I let it turn off after 30 secs.

Strange behaviour... How many hav got this issue?
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
1.6 is giving me 40.xx Mflops whereas 1.6pre2 only gave me 38.xx max - nice!

not noticed signal loss on sleep either, I;ve been receiving alerts and so on while screen has been off.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
I have - screen goes to sleep, i lose signal until i restart the phone.
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
Me for one :(
[Desire Android Development] meLIanTQ:
@adamg i download your rom and install for debug ...

member with bug you can post your logcat in attachment please?
[Desire Android Development] Mentes:
no problems here, works fine for me!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Are people losing the signal or just the wifi signal?

Network signal is fine for me here but I always test my roms with a clean install.
[Desire Android Development] planter88:
I already have the new Radio flashed. (leaked one)

Do i have to flash an older Radio for OpenDesire or will it work with the new one, too?
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
Im losing signal yet the data works well (I mean GPRS etc..., including wifi)
[Desire Android Development] thebastian74:
Where i can find the logcat?
[Desire Android Development] mon@diac:
just wifi signal for me...when the screen goes off
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
i'm losing the network signal - i did a clean install as well, both wipes. have the latest radio as well.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
the 1.5 was from the master tree and included lots of foreign stuff

next week probably wednesday

this release requires the latest radio

use the latest radio, this is a REQUIREMENT!!!
[Desire Android Development] blubber83:
Having some trouble with WIFI. I had this before on DeFrost 1.5. I have my sleep policy to "Never sleep when plugged in". When I lock the screen while unplugged, the WIFI goes down after a while, as it's supposed to. Now when I unlock the screen again, sometimes WIFI comes back up, but not always. If it doesn't come back on, the WIFI settings display the following text underneath the name of my AP: "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". Clicking on the name of the AP solves the problem. The weird thing is that this doesn't always happen, and so far I haven't found a pattern yet. It's kind of hard to reproduce.
[Desire Android Development] danne_jo:
Realy good rom :) Some suggestions :)

How abute include a hostfile that denys all ads?

And a huge apnlist?

(if you need them provided i can send them to you)

and what abute this app?

http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/

Features:

Send links to browser

Google Maps links launch the Google Maps app.

Selecting phone numbers in Web pages, launches the dialer with the number pre-populated.

Selected text populates the Android clipboard (long-press on text boxes to get paste option).

[Desire Android Development] Minux31:
Ok great, thx

Good work AdamG :)
[Desire Android Development] rahiljnmc:
physical key lights are off

need feedback regarding physical key lights

Kindly check if they are lighting up or not

check and post!! Its a minor issue missed out by many :)
[Desire Android Development] nagygabe:
I checked, the lights are absolutely dead :(
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
Lights and Led notifications are still dead. Exept for when charging. Permanant orange led.
[Desire Android Development] rahiljnmc:
Check if the LED lights turn on when plugged to the charger!

For me LED lights light up during charging but not on notification..is it the same for u

thanks
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I think that I found out the cause of the disappearing widget bug.

A2SD.

Application preinstalled with the phone are working good, they have widgets.

Application installed on the phone memory, are working good, those widgets survives reboots.

Application moved on the SD after a reboot don't have any widgets.
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
Well you quoted me saying that there was a permanent Orange Led while charging. The rest is not working.
