Any possibility for an OCUV kernel?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
v2.1 is live, enjoy :)
[Desire Android Development] da900:
Thnx a lot. Already flashig it.
[Desire Android Development] sky|ined:
One of the things that made me happy with froyo was that the button backlight is not distracting me anymore. So I thing it would be great if we were given the option to choose how bright we want our buttons to be. Personally I don't see this as a fix.

I could use "Leds hack" but it's causing freezes on YouTube app and myplayer.
[Desire Android Development] da900:
I've done a black theme for OpenDesire 2.1 with % circle battery and stock other Desire icons, green selectors.

Install via recovery. File is not signed, so switch off sign verification.

Thanx to pinkolin for battery icons i've used in this theme.

P.S. Please, nandroid before install (just in case).:)
[Desire Android Development] nemolivier:
+1 Too much light hurt my eyes. And not needed : I know what are the button for, just need a small light to find them. Battery is precious !

And I miss the wake on optical trackball (and only trackball) :-( I know… it's depends of people likes. Anyone for a mod ?

Thank's a lot for 2.1, hope you find a solution for wifi.

Stuck on reboot every time

Hey,

Great ROM, I must say. But there's this problem I'm facing quite often. Whenever I need to reboot, it often freezes at the HTC screen (before the animation shows up). I left it there for a long time but didn't help. Popping out the battery and starting up usually fixes it, but it sometimes takes a good 2-3 times.

I searched the forum but didn't find much. Any ideas as to what's going on and how I can fix it?

I'm using a Sandisk 4GB microSD with one big FAT32 partition.
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Thanks.....Any update in default phone application...I need to have suggestions of contacts...
[Desire Android Development] kennethkc:
while using 2.0, sometimes the headphone and trackball can't be used

i will flash 2.1 and try
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Get Dialer One from the market.

FWIW, I didn't have any issues with the battery last night, 5% over 9 hours, sync off and data connection on.. I'm not sure what caused the drain the night before..
[Desire Android Development] wewen:
Anyone got the torch working on stock froyo? Think it's the only thing that I would like from sense. Apart from 720p then :P
[Desire Android Development] matlacki:
Great job! New backlight is just awesome ! Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I'm using TeslaLED myself, works just fine and has a nice widget too :)

EXT4 Support Lost in v2.1

@AdamG

I've been using ext4 on the SDCard for some time now on your ROMS, all working well.

Flashed to 2.1 and hung on reboot. Removed battery, wiped several times - still hung on the HTC screen.

So, had to partition the SD card - tried to use ext3 and it worked.

Have we now lost ext4 support unintentionally in the latest update as didnt read anything in your change log about the step backwards?

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
don't mean to be a party pooper, but you still have to manually update google maps :)

(although to be fair, that could just be me because i tend to do all the wipes before upgrading .. i know i don't have to but hey .. just being thorough :D)
[Desire Android Development] sangreal:
/etc/hosts file in the release does not contain localhost entries to prevent adblocking
[Desire Android Development] wewen:
sweet +1 :D
[Desire Android Development] terryhau:
For notifications, the LED is flashing amber instead of green.

I liked how it was before though (light blue/pink)
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
Guys,

What about using power_profile.xml, taken from latest defrost 2.1 in hope for less power consumption? I've made mods for framework-res.apk replacing opendesire's power_profile.xml with the one taken from DeFrost 2.1... will try it today and post here the results...
[Desire Android Development] pipo1000:

i liked the lightblue/pink also

[Desire Android Development] wewen:
Is it just me that can't download apps on market with 2.1? Though I didn't wipe from 2.0 so most likely thats the culprit. If it's just me who have problems I wipe tonight. hehe

AdamG many thanks for a awesome rom.

Edit strange indeed.. wiped and installed clean.. same problem. Did a restore to 2.0 still the same problem... Though I can install apk's and move apps from phone and sdcard. Was little into reformat my sd-card- And make a new sd-ext in rommanager. But since it seems that only I have this problem it looks like I must find the cure myself. Fortunately I already have all the apps I want :D

Edit2 solved it... did a format of sd-ext and sd-card in recovery.
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
just updated to 2.1 from 2.0 w/o wipe - all is working great. market is downloading stuff as it should be. ;)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Does the torch button in "Quick Settings" work when set to turn on the LED?
[Desire Android Development] pinkolin:
2.1 for me no go. White screen with HTC logo after wipe and flash. last 09 radio.

UPDATE: I must wipe ext too...
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
How can i use HTC_IME keyboard on this ROM ? I tried to install but it doesn't work
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
optical trackball in not working neither in sms for positioning nor in browser for text copying etc. for me, what a shame, suggest how to fix please!
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
*deleted* wrong answer!

try the ver for Froyo from here

http://www.hallerud.se/htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I have to report a couple of things:

* Leds: didn't tested very well with the OS behaviour, but on "LED Tester" application, NO color are working. Previously the application could set any colour, only a couple of them worked in a strange way (i.e. 2 colours, or wrong colours).

* Auto brightness: keypad are well lit, and autobrightness scale up in a good way (and if scaling up, button light is deactivated, like in Sense implementation... very good). But it doesn't scale down if light source is removed, you have to turn off the screen for brightness to scale down.

Please don't give suggestion based on supposition. It's a wrong way to give advice, expecially on forums.

@Snarex:

Search for HTC_Ime Mod on XDA forums, get the latest hi res version.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Ouch... HTCIME is the only usable phone keypad type input available :(

Has nobody gotten it working in opendesire at all? I thought the problems usually arose from Sense, and therefore thought these wouldn't be any problems on opendesire :(

-edit- @gatsu: So it actually does work? :)
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
This is bugged.

Try contact application, or Google Talk.

You will se a white thick line above the tabs.

Please update with a fixed one :D
[Desire Android Development] Wlashack:
So that means only standard 2 colors LED (green/red) and no more multiple colors? If so, what a shame :-(
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
This rom was only with ext3 support right?
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
I'm sorry it actually works great!

i just tried the ver.27 from here for Froyo.

[Desire Android Development] sangreal:
Last couple opendesire ROMS all supported ext4, if read few posts back posted question why lost ext4 support in this version.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Didn't saw that post. But i already converted my ext partition back to ext3.
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
Is there anybody here that fixed WIFI SLEEP problem ?
[Desire Android Development] androidophile:
@ AdamG

really good work here.

I tried many different ROMs but OpenDesire is by far the best of them.

none fancy ****, very functional and all my apps work!

That's something to build upon.

thank you.
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
Can I ask a dumb question please? at what point do you flash it ? do you flash the update first, then just "select zip file from SD Card" ??

or can you flash it using astra ?
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
Is it possible to add this to OpenDesire too?
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
Same problem here. I was at 100% at 11AM didn't use the phone once, only turned on the screen once, it's now 15:23 battery at 74%.

I'm home so WiFi is off.

Android OS 62%

Android System 11%

Cell Standby 7%

Phone Idle 7%

Display 4%
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
I liked it before too, not the standard green!

Any way to get that back?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
No you can't :)

I've done it and it works fine .. so go away ..
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
It works gr8 for me too . Thanks
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
"So go away" Like it :D:D
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
heh .. i don't make a habit of talking to myself on forums :)

just made a 5 minute call on the phone and it cost me 2% of the battery .. hhmmm.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Im reuploading v2.1, I forgot to include latests maps and adblocking.

Also I'm making a new build tonight, I'm going to try including FLAC support.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Finished reuploading.
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
how about OC?? Please))
[Desire Android Development] Amplificator:
I vote for reboot option too.

Also, what about OCUV?

Just tried the latest 2.1 and battery life is amazing. Way better than the stock HTC Rom.
[Desire Android Development] fanello123:
Which keys are wakeing the phone? Only the power button?

Does this rom support remote conrol through headphones, or is this a sense feature? If it does, is it possible to deactivate it?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Try one of these, they worked for me:

Phone wake buttons
[Desire Android Development] pipi002:
Can you make it support ext4??
[Desire Android Development] fanello123:
Thanks....

Is there a simple blackbar for version 2.1 available?
[Desire Android Development] Marreboy:
I Installed OpenDesire 2.1 this morning. Upgraded from 1.6a with all wipes. Must say that I am impressed. 2.1 is really fast and stable.. Using the latest radio and I think the data connection is more stable than ever using 3g/HSPDA. I never use Wifi so I can't say anything about that.

Thanks for great ROM AdamG
[Desire Android Development] str355:
yep, blackbar 0.3 in the themes & apps forum ;)
[Desire Android Development] lomdar:
It's nice to get new features, and as a programmer myself I know it's more fun to implement new stuff.

But woudn't it be more appropriate to fix outstanding problems like WiFi sleep?
[Desire Android Development] SNaReX:
+100000000
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
one thought. wouldn't it be easier to use some of the htc framework and htc camera app and gallery(its way faster anyway) and make hq video recording available.

just guessing
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I read that the leds ar operating normally now. Does this means they flash blue/purple when there are notifications?
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
Any status update on the Wifi Sleep Issue ?
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
it means they flash standard green. the cool purple is gone. :(
[Desire Android Development] matlacki:

me too :-(
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I also liked the blue/purple leds :)
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
also headphones are not working anymore. it plays through internal speakers with headphones pluged in.

also i noticed very high battery drain: 47 % in 5.5 hours (display 15%, internet\wifi turned off,actually it was just laying in the bag) with voice calls consuming 29% of usage (i barely called 20 minutes today) but i have to mention i use defrosts power-profile.xml (i wonder if it's the reason)
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
Me too... :)
[Desire Android Development] fuqi:
headphones work fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] gosnis:
First of all, thank you for the theme. The only problem is Clear button. It's barely visible/readable.
[Desire Android Development] TheNose:
OMG I can't deside if I should stay with defrost or with opendesire! :D

I've been flashing back and forth between these two roms.

Any help in desiding please? :D
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
I like this opendesire 2.1! I'm coming from a 1.6 DeFrost and here almost everything is fine. I did a full wipe but unfortunately still no led blinking when receiving messages...

I still have huge battery decrease, even with this rom :(
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
Een rom die je aanspreekt in je moedertaal, wie wilt dat nou niet ;)

OpenDesire!
[Desire Android Development] aoisora:
hi, i just rooted my phone and had this rom installed. i just wondering why there are only 5 pages/screens in the home screen instead of 7 like original HTC Desire.

I also installed launcher pro from market, and there are only 3 pages/screens.

how to have 7 instead of 3 or 5?
[Desire Android Development] fuqi:
you can setup to 7 screens in launcher pro settings > at homescreen : go to preferences and homescreen settings.
[Desire Android Development] TheNose:
;)

Any important differences between defrost and opendesire? Except for native dutch in opendesire rom (which I like!)
[Desire Android Development] Desiret:
For me, thats the only important difference...;)

They are both fast (OpenDesire slight faster, even without OC) and stable. Except the AOSP part of OpenDesire, its quite the same rom. Both use the kernel from Kali ect ect.
[Desire Android Development] sonothar:
tried a few rom this weekend and i think i'll stay with openDesire for now. one question i have: is it possible to get the htc music player in this rom?
[Desire Android Development] fanello123:
Does somebody know if it is possible to deactivate the headphone remote control?
[Desire Android Development] TheNose:
Adam is there gonna be a new release tonight or can I go ahead and flash 2.1?
[Desire Android Development] Qliratu:
I have an issue whit this rom, when i boot my phone all is oké it react's fast and all.

But when i use launcher pro and the phone is on for lets say 1 hour or so.

It starts slowing down i take a picture hit the home button and it just freezes for 5 seconds.

i Tried reflashing wipping reformatting sd card but nothing helps.

Any ideas?

[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Anyone got a file to wake the screen with just the power button? I had the file but managed to delete it and can't remember which lines to edit in the file...
[Desire Android Development] murrelito:
Using this ROM at the moment, works great for me and none of the HTC bloatware.

Thanks for a great rom!
[Desire Android Development] regis59:
You have to modify the file called : bravo-keypad.kl

and remove 'WAKE_DROPPED' in front of the key you don't want to wake the phone up ;)

Hope this help !
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
huh? any htc bloatware as you call it will be in this rom :)
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
mine only wakes on power putton by default so whatever the file is i guess will be in there.............
[Desire Android Development] wph:
wrong topic?
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
There is no HTC bloatware in this what so ever, no other ROM will bring you as close to stock Android with full functionality except this one.

I'm working on using the MASTER tree again to see how it performs battery wise compared with the FRF91 tree, I shall also be adding FLAC support to the next ROM and a possible fix for the wifi sleep bug.
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Sorry Adam i meant to say no bloatware included in the rom :)
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
adam, you'll probably know this .. would it work if you could essentially pull out the 720p camcorder option from the sense rom and make it available as a standalone thing to install if you wanted ?

i know you'd probably still get people moaning either way, but at least if you chose to install it knowing the frame rate isn't that good, then you'd know what to expect up front.
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
I flashed the OD 2.1 and the 5.09.00.08 radio today and my Desire works like a charm! Well, except for Spotify it seems :)

If I download it via Android Market, the download succeeds, but the installation fails. Any manual install of the Spotify.apk also fails. Everytime. I don't know if this is related to the ext3 partition, but I doubt this because I haven't had this problem with any other app that I've tried..

I have wiped and flashed two times now, but the problem persists. The log says:

E/installd( 111): dexopt cannot open '/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.spotify.mobile.android.ui-1.apk@classes.dex' for output

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

EDIT: It was the ext3 partition. Had to format the SD-card before I could install Spotify. When installed, I made a ext3 partition, and now everything works perfect!
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I just managed to install and run it fine.
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
This wont work the camera apk is linked to the htc framework, it isnt even worth adding 720p support, the framerate is just too low.
[Desire Android Development] _RoD_:
I'm having problems with geolocation in the last few versions of this ROM. Services such as Twitter and various weather widgets can't determine my location. Is this a known issue?
[Desire Android Development] SneakShadow:
Thank you AdamG for a great ROM! It's very fast and stable, and I've had no problems with it so far. This is my favourite ROM by far!

Really looking forward to future releases! Keep up the good work! :)
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Since 24 hours using this and really. Happy too....only one issue..phone memory went to 50 MB...is this serious issue???
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
you have to turn it on in the settings menu ;)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
If you have no EXT partition or if you do and you have alot of apps installed then yes.
[Desire Android Development] JexL:
i checked my apps and my web browser was like 35megs so i cleared the web browser data and it dropped back down to 800kbs. that helped free up space and remove the low space warning
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
it seems to me that huge battery drain was caused by setcpu running (i got profiles for sleep 245-245 and for batt<30% 245-576) so after uninstalling battery usage became more linear due to juiceplotter ... will post more results later...

also optical trackpad is still not working...

ALSO PLEASE CONFIRM if headphones are working! for me it's not working at all - the sound won't switch to headphones on plugin during playback!
[Desire Android Development] pranavd1980:
Sorry for Noob Question again....But is it necessary to install App2Sd for Froyo seperatly....I thought its included in Froyo 2.2 itself....
[Desire Android Development] sangreal:
Looking forward to that.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Dunno about that... I had a huge drain on Saturday night, but everything went fine on Sunday, SetCPU was running with the same profiles on both nights.

Anyway, I've uninstalled it now, we'll see what happens...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
When it comes to SetCPU, I've noticed that it's usually not the program itself that causes problems, but rather the widget - so if you've got that on your homescreen, try removing it...
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
yep i'm aware about the widget - never used it though!

but still, i only uninstalled setcpu, nothing more had changed and the battery drain gone for now on.. as it seems... have to spend more time checking today...

i used setcpu from early MCR's till yesterday... will miss it, i cant figure out the logical explanation for this...

Anyone else has GPS issues? Unable to get a gps fix in Google Maps, Twitter nor in the weather widget..

Edit: Flashed newest radio, now works.

Open Desire 2.1 experience for me has been great - I am sure to donate a few bob for the development cause.

Thanks Adam for time and effort spent.

[Desire Android Development] RALPHATTACK:
I Also have had the issue with the headphones socket not working for a few versions. It seems to be intermittent. But when it happens you are unable to get sound to come out of the socket rather than the speakers.

I think i may have posted this issue in the Issues link in the first post

but cant see it anymore.

Apart from that it seems pretty good. Just updated to 2.1 so I'll see how this goes.
[Desire Android Development] MarvinFS:
No i have the same issues. Trackpad is not working for positioning, it's working for pressing though!

The same issues i have with headphones - it's working for some time. after that no reaction on plug in.

(i've noticed that guys in DeFrost thread having the same so it may be kernel related, IMO.)

EDIT: i've created an issue on a bugtracker!

Other than that, i'm fairly sure everything else is working perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] wph:
Yes, you are right.

An other problem that I have since 2.0 is that the rotation sensor stops working after some time. Can be a few jours, can be a day. I also have the trackpad issue when I just tested it, I didn't notice it before because I don't use it so often.
[Desire Android Development] Locked65:
Ive had some trouble with my apps and widgets after reboot,

some of them are missing. In market it says that the app/widget is installed but i cant find it, and widgets says: Unable to load widget.

then i have to reinstall it and add it again.

Ill flash 2.1 now to check if the problem persist.

Any battery improvement in 2.1 ?

Great work again adam :)
