OJ on OD

People here seem to use their OJ alot. I never never need/use it, except when flashing?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
hehe .. this should help :)
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
So far i have following errors found:

- Galerie shows sometimes Pictures to darken.

- Mobile Internet sometimes dont connect

- sometimes will OJ dont work and eat Batterie

- LED Indicator shows wrong

Can anybody confirm that ?
[Desire Android Development] otijhuis:
You don't need to pull the battery. Try power+lower volume+trackpad until it reboots if it hangs on boot (or boot right into recovery if you know the trackpad is dead). Then let go of trackpad to boot into recovery mode. When you are in recovery mode use the reboot option. Then it boots like normal again.
[Desire Android Development] JohnSteveDoe:
Ergh, I can't install Voice Commands. :(
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
You'll probably need to remove the old voice search app from /system/app/ first...
[Desire Android Development] rmpeters:
How to do that? I tried with titanium explorer and I tried by remounting /system as rw from adb, but both unsuccesful (on opendesire)
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
Went to bed with >30% battery last night, woke up and phone was off. Guessing I had the OJ problem then.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I did it via ADB. Reboot into your recovery, mound system and sdcard, then just move voicesearch.apk from system to the SD card.
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
You have a small tutorial of using adb to delete/move apps here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710113&postcount=5
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
I don't use it all, except for unlocking. The only reason I don't want it to die is that my battery life disappears in a few hours because of this...

Going to switch to DeFroST until it's resolved in OpenDesire...
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Maybe a silly question but why are certain apps (Voice/Google Search) pre-installed instead of just left off to be downloaded from the store?
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
I don't, but now I just check it to make sure my battery wil last :).
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Every app that's installied in /system/app off the bat doesn't use any of the precious 130MB the Desire has to install apps from the market and so on...
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Cheers. What's the easiest way to /system/app to to delete apps in there?
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
I think doing it via adb is the "easiest" way... Check a tutorial here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710113&postcount=5
[Desire Android Development] y2viks:
With regards to the OJ problem, does it die completely in terms of for every application.

For me it will highlight the top right most widget/shortcut etc on my home screen and it will then select it if i press it in, but I can't actually move it from that top right icon.

But even with that happening I can still use the trackerball in Handcent for example.
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
Still not had oj die since setting the button brightness to default. Can anyone else confirm this?

I use the oj a lot btw for text editing and arrow key replacement.
[Desire Android Development] ph0rce:
Just thought I'd say that I switched to this ROM on Wednesday evening & I still have 35% of my battery left this morning, very impressive indeed. I'd previously been using the CM nightlies but the OJ / battery drain issue was becoming a serious problem for me as I couldn't even last a day without needing a charge.

Quick question for AdamG; I know you're now borrowing quite a lot of the mods / features from the Cyanogen ROMs, when will you be taking their latest version of CM Settings & putting it in your ROM?
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
this is a really fine ROM indeed :)

used sense rom nextsense earlier, but had many problems with it and when i told about them to the developer he started behaving in a rather unexpected manner. anyways.....

loving every bit of this rom. just a few suggestions:-

1) more keyboards please if possible.

2) some themes too. cant see any themes for opendesire. the ones available are said to be not working. correct me if i am wrong please

3) more widgets. everybody loves widgets and yes more of them in the default installation will be highly appreciated. or a list can be maintained here where links can be given where we can find different things to make our phones awesome using this rom, like themes, widgets etc :)

i hope i didnt ask for much. thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Where do you set that?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
OpenDesire Settings=>User Interface=>Automatic Backlight settings=>Set other values

Can't say I can confirm the fix though - my values are customized (always off) and my OJ has never died (I use it regularly).
[Desire Android Development] _RoD_:
I think (and hope) Adam wants to keep this ROM clean. If you want themes, keyboards, widgets, you should install them yourself.
[Desire Android Development] kuhine:
To all who have problems with dying OJ (optical joystick).

Have you ever checked the OJ for dust and other dirt particles inside?

The OJ works like a camera.

But what happens, when there are some dust/dirt particles on the lense, completely out of the optical focus?

In the past I had problems with an optical computer mouse on a special surface: it eats up 100% CPU power and all programs respond very very slowly.

The mouse pointer vibrates very slightly all the time on the desktop.

Placed on a mousepad later, the mouse and the computer works without any problems.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Has anyone noticed that the backlight settings don't always work?
[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
I didnt realize you were supposed to be able to use the OJ on the homescreen to move between apps - Ive never been able to - from immediate boot its like that.

I can use the OJ to navigate text fields etc which is when I need it.

if it dies, that stops working.

Hasnt died on me in a few days now (keeping my fingers crossed it will stay that way :) )

Besides - I thought Adam had stopped power going to OJ if it died with 3.1.0 to prevent this drain?
[Desire Android Development] nachtschicht:
Yes for me too, sometimes the sensors are just reporting a value of 10/10 and (of course) the lowest settings will always kick in. A small bug, I think...
[Desire Android Development] ryanrich:
Problem with this theory is that it doesn't happen with me on any other ROM that I use...
[Desire Android Development] umd:
When I use this rom, I was using ''Halfway Home'' ringtone. I loved that ringtone. But I'm triyng different roms right now. Can anyone share that ringtone? :D
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Mine is either dimmer than it should be, or much brighter! :(
[Desire Android Development] wooz:
I have issues with A2DP in v3.1.0. My BT speakers connect fine, but during playback there are severe dropouts every few seconds. I'm using mainly XiiaLive, but the issue is the same with other players.

In fact, it was broken for me in all the OD version I tried so far. It works perfectly in offiial and modded OTA 2.2 though.

Other than that, I'm perfectly happy with OpenDesire! Any help would be very much appreciated :-)
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
I haven't had OJ problem since I installed 3.1.0, with brightness at default. Although this doesn't really confirm. We still need someone to confirm that negative case....
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
****, my OJ just died. :(
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Sorry, can't help you atm, but if you have the ROM, or are able to download it to your PC, then just look in the folder /System/Media/Ringtones and you'll find it there. Might be the easiest solution...
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
I havent that problem :confused:
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
Is there some way of knowing when the OJ dies that we can prompt to reboot or such?
[Desire Android Development] Panpan69:
I agree with others this rom is one of the lightest and it will be great to keep it clean. Not everybody loves widgets. I don't use one. The first problem is that OD do not use sense UI then official widgets couldn't not be used. Maybe its not the rom that meet your expectations ;-)
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
I was an OJ-virgin too, before it just happened. Right after I changed the wallpaper in Launcher Pro.

Rebooted via Quick Boot, and the device got stuck on the HTC logo... wonder if it had anything to do with the OJ dying?
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
Sorry for bad ask but how you notice that the Trackball ist down?

No reaction at use?

i have

launcher pro

live wallpaper

automatic backlight off

unlock over trackball off
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
It will be nice to have some kind of alert/warning if that happens, but I dont really know if Android has some native function to know if the OJ is working or not...
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Exactly, no reaction. :(
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
I ask me why some people have that bug others not ?!

Radio updatet ?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Maybe it's just a matter of waiting long enough? I don't think I've had an uptime higher than 40 hours on the Desire, because there's always a new version of OpenDesire to install ;)

My radio is the latest (.20)...
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
At the homescreen you should see your icons being highlighted when you move the OJ. In for example mailapps and the market, you should be able to scroll trough the lists with the OJ. If it doesn't, OJ is dead and you better reboot your phone :).
[Desire Android Development] aryonoco:
I hope this ROM doesn't go down this path.

The beauty of this ROM is that it's clean and neat. Everyone can install what they want afterwards, I hate cluttered ROMs. In fact that's the main reason I don't use Sense.
[Desire Android Development] DomFel:
AdamG truly a great ROM. The first time I use a ROM without Sense, truly amazing speed..

BTW, did find quite a few bugs, hopefully will be fixed in the next release:

Other than this, impressive job! Keep it up!
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Quoted for emphasis.
[Desire Android Development] poope:
FM and OJ fix on OD3.2?

I was lying, im using OJ alot when textediting, i need my OJ alive!

Hope u fix it G! This ROm gets an 8 from me. Only needs FMradio and OJ-fix to be perfect.
[Desire Android Development] pipi002:
How to customize power control widgetm.???
[Desire Android Development] snyberjo:
remove it from desktop and add it again, then you will be directed automatically to the settings! ;)
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Has anyone tried both this rom and Modaco's r8 rom yet? I have Modaco's r8 *without* Sense BS (ahum!) and am curious whether there is a big difference in speed between both rom's ? Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Gibbz1:
Help!

I just rooted, and wanted to install this rom, however im stuck on the

ANDROID boot screen, been stuck there for 10mins, rebooted, tried reflashing the rom and same thing.

Any ideas how to go about fixing this? Im a newb, go easy :(
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
You need to partition the SD card to have an EXT partition. Easiest way i found is to flash AmonRa Recovery using unrevoked and get that to partition the card for you. You WILL need to back up the SD card though because it will wipe it.
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
Strange issue with touchscreen not working:

I had my phone in backpack or pocket for a long time, let's say 1-2 hours. I got sms/mail/whatever, took it out and tried to unlock the screen - nothing. Touch doesn't react at all, no matter what I try. Lock button works, screen light too.

Have to take battery out in order to make it works again. I'm not sure what could be a problem: narrow pocket and constantly pressed touchpanel despite the screen is OFF and locked, pocket heat...? Dunno.

This happend to me only 2 times: first time with 3.0.2 (I think) when my mobile was in backpack on sun, and now with 3.1.0 in pocket.
[Desire Android Development] benlaug:
Hi,

I'm going to make a big post. Each topic will be in bold if you don't want to read all the topic. For the app2sd, I'm sorry, I'm totally newbie and it's a terrible enigma for me.

app2sd (Google vs Legacy) : I have some problems with that. The first is if I have en ext partition or not, I see no difference ! However, I read that there are many differences, but what are they ? How to know if I use the app2sd from google or the other ? How can I activate the legacy one ?

Another problem is the following : if I install my task manager, I move it to the SD card and I check the box for an auto startup at reboot, it doesn't work ! Even if after, I move the application in the phone ! I try everything, remove/install again, check/uncheck the box, there is nothing to do ! Why ? How can I fix that ?

The other problem is the widgets that disappeared when the application is in the SD card. I read that an app2sd (I don't if it's the one from google or the other) permit to keep an access to your widget, even after a reboot. Is it true ? Which one is ok for that ?

Small issue : I found a small issue : if you choose "Reboot" then "Cancel", after that, if you choose "Power off/Shutdown" (dunno the traduction in english for Android), you will be in the confirmation box of the "Reboot".

Translation : It would be great if the added parts of OpenDesire from the original firmware were translated (like OpenDesire Settings, for instance). I can help for a translation in french !

Thanks for all,

Benjamin
[Desire Android Development] pipi002:
thank you !!
[Desire Android Development] ideasman69:
no other input on this? can it just be my phone?
[Desire Android Development] huitzilihuitl:
Yep, I also have this issue, exactly same behaviour
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
Are you using SetCPU?
[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
anyone else? The top left app highlights but I cant move from app to app on the home screen

Is this true?
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
Have same problem and wrote about it few posts above. Weird.

@gumbald

I'm using SetCPU now, but I didn't use it first time when I encounter this problem. So I assume the SetCPU shouldn't be an issue..
[Desire Android Development] ideasman69:
yeah its the only thing putting me off this rom.

i've done a full wipe of all data and cache, flashed from scratch and it doesn't make a difference.

no set cpu or any other utils.
[Desire Android Development] subvertbeats:
Any other CPU scaling (eg JuiceDefender) ?

I guess Gumbald might have been suggesting the CPU wasnt ramping up to speed quickly enough again (depends on governer type)
[Desire Android Development] ideasman69:
nope.. nothing. a clean untouched rom.

i was the one suggesting the cpu thing.. i thought it might have been something that adamg put into the rom to save battery.

[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Right then, everyone who was complaining about the Screen/Display power usage on this ROM, please take a look at this post: http://android.adamg.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=215

The power usage you were complaining about is normal - the display uses exactly as much power as on other ROMs, like HTC's Sense ROMs, but the HTC ROMs just show the display's power use as far lower - either a bug or underhandedness (in order to make the AMOLED seem more efficient).

PLEASE, allow Adam to switch back to the more accurate power consumption stats - this ROM up to 3.0.5 does not cause the display to use more more, it just shows the correct power consumption values, unlike HTC's ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] huitzilihuitl:
no, clean rom
[Desire Android Development] freddyemmer:
Could you maybe add Script][A2SD] Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7.5 RC2 support to your rom?
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
Just upgraded from the modaco r19 froyo rom to the 1.3a release of this. Nice to have a working camcorder again, even if the res is only 352x288.

Many thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
The FB issue seems to be only with this ROM.

I tried clearing the data and re-adding the account but same issue.

Anyone tried removing the fb app and then reinstalling from the market?

Also the volume is quite low on this ROM. I gotta put the notification volume bar to max to be able to hear it clearly.
[Desire Android Development] LBTaylor1984:
The Echo is actually a standard problem with most electronics, if you use a headset on a PC or xbox, IF you turn the volume right up you will create a echo for the listener, the solution is the same, turn the volume down. tbh I don't think you'll fix this as it is known problem with other hardware, and one of those things.

The physical hardware buttons are working for me?

well yeah, but I reckon a few days and will be working mp4 and possibly 720p
[Desire Android Development] bubuN2:
Thx for your reply jstegeman !

It means that OpenDesire ROM is become a port of another ROM :(

Hope Adam will go back on his own kernel, that what i like in this ROM...

Excellent ROM anyway ! :)

Only issue that i meet for the moment is that it's not possible to activate the FB sync and that i still have 4mo free space disk against 43mo on (MoDaCo r19) before flashing.
[Desire Android Development] jstegeman:
No, it's not a port of any other ROM - it's built from AOSP sources. The kernel is used from the other ROM. You'll find that a lot of the ROMS here share the same kernels.

John
[Desire Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
Well yeah, makes sense if it's an issue with this and not MCR r20. I mean this in the best possible way but i think it's more useful to mention the issues/fixes for the Opendesire ROM here? Otw you can respond on anything with mentioniong you're using something else, right?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Just flashed 1.3a. I'm wondering why I don't get all my apps back automatically installed after a full wipe, MCR r20 does that.

That said, great ROM. :-)
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
I wasn't aware it was just this ROM, I had issues with in using r19 of the MCR so jog on mate :mad:

No need to get ****ty with me, I was just questioning it...
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Maybe Paul can help us out, if there was a issue with R19 then Paul had to have fixed it with R20.
[Desire Android Development] bubuN2:
Okay now i understand, thanks for your help John ! (it was my last naab question :))

Someone else lose a lot of memory after flashing ?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I flashed over defrost and lost about 9mb.
[Desire Android Development] Dave Hagenaars:
So is the prximity sensor working in this rom? I've grown used to it :)
[Desire Android Development] Yopsi:
I gained from 1.2 to 1.3
[Desire Android Development] ruleamsterdam:
LOL...did you miss the part where i said "i mean this in the best way possible"?

I actually meant that you know. I don't know if it's an issue exclusive to this ROM but your answer "i don't have this issue but hey, i'm not running this ROM" just sounded a little pointless to me, that's all.

Personally i'd like to know if others who ARE using this ROM are having the same issue or not, and the same goes for the SMS issue.

and again, no ****tyness intended.... ;)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Just don't set up the sync with Google during the startup wizard: ignore it and run it just later.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Shouldn't have to do that though, even though I do skip it - it's the FC box that annoys me!! But seeing as it's got pink LEDs I'll also be leaving this ROM for now - it was meant to be stock!! :p lol
[Desire Android Development] rahiljnmc:
Physical hardware buttons are working properly but there lights are permanently off..

Kindly recheck...its a very minor bug and missed out by many
[Desire Android Development] blubber83:
Actually it's not. As I said before in this very thread, compared to any 2.1 build for the desire, the echo and white noise are a lot louder. Not saying that we can completely eliminate the noise or echo, but it shouldn't be this loud.
[Desire Android Development] vader hd:
Feel like it's christmas in summer time! This ROM is great!!! THANKS ADAM!!!

Will give 3g a try later, but for now everything seems to work just fine.
[Desire Android Development] setenza01:
That's the Shadowfrost kernel and all the modules and libOmx

2.6.32.9-ShadowFrost

or maybe config.gz
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
Nothing, just SetCPU.

Regarding the governor type, I have two profiles:

Screen off - 245-384MHz, governor: powersave, priority: 70 (OK, I'd realized the powersave option is bad so I've changed it now)

Battery <10% - 245-499MHz, governor: ondemand, priority: 70

Default profile is 245-806MHz ondemand.

@ideasman69:

How often does this problem occur to you?
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
I think so. The problem however, seems to be that a dead OJ prevents the phone from getting in sleepmode, thus continuing consuming power.
[Desire Android Development] dnlgee:
Why? It already has A2SD support..
[Desire Android Development] vibranze:
Adamg, dnlgee, any idea where i can find the building aosp rom guide? Appreciate any pointers from you guys.

Regarding the bar after the network name on the lock screen...

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/08/dellstreak2108052010.jpg

The Dell Streak has it on that picture! Is it a ROM thing, an Android thing, or just a bizarre thing?
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
A provider thing, I'd wager. Maybe the provider string really is O2-UK|...
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
Yep, same issue here :(
[Desire Android Development] zdufs:
I have 2 problems...

1.When I have mobile data (HSDPA/EDGE) enabled I can surf, watch youtube but I can't download apps from market, except when I use Wi-Fi.

2. Audio output doesnt work. I've tried headphones and external speaker and music is still playing on internal speaker.

Any solutions or suggestions ??
[Desire Android Development] Biffy:
Had OJ death again so my theory about it being related to button brightness settings was obviously wrong.

My other thought is could it be something to do with the power on by trackpad button...It needs fixing! :)
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Thank you, it worked :D
[Desire Android Development] Gaspedal:
Best ROM for me! Works fine and very fast. Looking forward for more updates !!
[Desire Android Development] tomjol:
I don't use power/wake-by-OJ and it's happened to me (although, that doesn't mean it doesn't have anything to do with it) :o
[Desire Android Development] ardsar:
Any chance of an updated voice search as on the market. Not able to install over the current version. Just moved to this rom my first without sense and its great. Thought I could never do without sense but this has proved me wrong
[Desire Android Development] JohnSteveDoe:
Read the last 2-3 pages of this thread, there are very detailed instructions for upgrading voice search. Adam will upgrade it at some point too, ofc.
[Desire Android Development] iSaiya:
Thanks for your sharing :)
[Desire Android Development] ardsar:
Can someone see if they can save the following web site to bookmarks?.

I always get a force close. Also where is the option to change between web and mobile browsing - I'm being dumb and can't find it.

Just replaced a custom sense rom by OpenDesire ! The rom feels perfect. I love it.
