you have to do it in recovery. "partitions" "mount /system/" and then delete the apk's with adb.
[Desire Android Development] BallBrain:
OK found it thnx

Just pulled the mms.apk to be sure :D

[Desire Android Development] Clivectmob:
For what its worth, I'm using stock install of 3.0.5, no setcpu installed, just using a2sd on ext partition. Battery for me is comparable to stock sense 2.2. So good as far as I'm concerned. No complaints here at all.

Open Desire

Hey guys, i don't usually post here, but thought i'd share my views, i been on XDA android section since i had my hero, always trying out new mods and roms, then recording data about them such as performance benchmark scores bug, any specific errors n what could possibly be causing them.

through-out my testing for roms and i have tested every rom for the desire till date lol, i believe the Open Desire team has produced a truly great rom, especially battery wise and stability. i also am a fan of the Neo roms but have found recently that updates have caused certain force closes in the settings processes, although the speed is amazing.

For those who don't like the stock music player such as me, i recommend using a player called lithium music player. This i have found to be a brilliant player also it has a function which will boost the volume like a mini Eq. With Opendesire tweaks u can set the music controls for the lock screen, this also works well with lithium.

Secondly i find the stock froyo quite simply plain and boring, especially coming from sense which is all eye candy, i have replaced the Stock Launcher with Launcher Pro Plus. This launcher is fantastic it looks great and is super smooth and stable. I the only reason i got the plus edition is so that i could have the calendar widget which can be scrolled just like the HTC sense widget and also saved dates to your google account are also synced with out any issues.

and finally Over-clocked and under-clocked this plays a big part of making open desire my favourite rom. Over-clocked to 1.1 GHz and under-clocked when the screen is off to 245 MHz lol the result is a fast, stable, and amazing battery life rom :D

I hope this helps people some people.

Phone not sleeping

The phone has now decharged from 100% to 72% after 4h 6m idling. It seems it does not sleep when the screen is off.

Battery Usage shows this:

Screen: 31%

Calls: 27%

Android-OS: 18%

Cell-standby: 6%

Phone idle: 5%

Phone: 2%

When doing a *#*#4636#*#*, I get the following data:

Other Usage

Since last time without power

Running: 98,9% (Time elapsed without sleeping: 4t 6m 11s)

Screen On: 11,6%

Phone On: 5,5%

Wifi On: 1,3%

Wifi Running: 1,3%

"Juicedefender" and "Advanced Task Killer" is running in the background. SetCPU has "screen off profile" at 245 - 576. The phone have only been used for a 13-minute phonecall.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
[Desire Android Development] Skurvnik:
I come from HBOOT 0.92 and HTC Sense Android 2.2, downgraded to 0.80 and rooted using the revoked guide on this forum. I chosed to install OpenDesire since I used it before and liked it alot. Having first installed 3.0.0, than immediately 3.0.5, I cannot start the phone. It's stuck on the blue/grey ANDROID loading animation. Does anyone know what to do?

EDIT: I did a factory/data reset and now it starts up just fine.
[Desire Android Development] lotzofdotz:
I cant even do that. It adds it but it doesnt show up.
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Is there any alternative gallery app for the 3d-gallery? It uses quite a lot more power than the original. If im browsing my picasa albums its cool to have some effects but not cool enough to lose 10% battery life with it.
[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Your phone isn't going to sleep. You need to find the app that has this wakelock-bug. Try some system monitors etc.. my battery life got better by removing the stock mms.apk (messaging), which was running on foreground all the time.
[Desire Android Development] hagen.von.tronje:
did you wipe/factory reset?

and try formatting ext3 (if you are using this)
[Desire Android Development] wazer1337:
Thanks for your lovely rom, its brilliant!.

I just added the percentage clock addon aswell. Now i just need one more thing. Im from denmark. And theres no dk language correction/miss spell correction? when i write a sms?. How do i enable that.
[Desire Android Development] reijosirila:
Thank you. I love this ROM because it has STK support. So, don't remove this! :)
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
No blue led with handcent sms :'( also changing led flash pattern makes no difference :'(

Please fix this!

Yes, remove juicedefender and setcpu :)

Seriously though, i'm sure i read somewhere on these forums that the way that FroYo is designed, SetCPU is a waste of time as it can't actually alter anything.

THIS CANNOT BE FIXED THE BLUE LED OCCURED BECAUSE OF A CODE BUG WHICH WAS FIXED!

are you seriously asking me to put buggy code back into the release?

I also don't know if you remember but the charging light was also fu**ed because of that bug.
[Desire Android Development] domparry:
Really? This is how you ask someone for something? Adam does this for free. Even if you have donated to him every day for a year, you have no right to ask like this. Also, please search the forums before posting questions that have been answered many times.
[Desire Android Development] deaglun:
Hey Adam,

There hasn't been a new release for over 24 hours! What's going on!?

Only joking :) This is a really good rom. I literally have no problems at all (well twitter wont autosync, but thats minor for me and prob twitter's fault). I'll donate after payday.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying that the blue LED, which works on all official Sense releases (as far as I know), as well as the user-changeable blinking patterns, are all due to a bug? Sounds like a pretty benevolent bug to me :D
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
Didnt mean to be rude or horrible at all just wanted you to add this to your to do list as its gotta be possible or it wouldnt be working in official froyo rom right?

Can you not just make it so that a 3rd party application can access it without the system itself trying to access it? Couldnt that fix problems? So that quite literally all handcent sms does is send an on/off code to the led rather than it all going through the system? if that makes sense lol

Didnt mean to make any offense to anyone anyway so sorry to all those ive affended! :-(
[Desire Android Development] pierreburel:
I don't understand how some people stay focused on a blue led when there are more important issues such as battery drain, dead OJ and pulsating auto brightness...

Anyway, i'll stick with this rom during my 2 weeks trip tomorrow, cause it's the more stable AOSP rom i used. And i know i'll be glad to see nice new features when i come back.

Thx and keep doing good work !
[Desire Android Development] DennisG1:
two days: perfect...

...today. "Android OS" 95% percent usage. every 5 min 1% battery drain. is it a app which let the phone doesn't sleep or something else. has anybody an idea? i've installed it clean with wipe etc. after i restarted the phone everything was normal.
[Desire Android Development] lotzofdotz:
I still cant get my sim contacts to show up?
[Desire Android Development] hankhandsome:
If you've signed in to google via the phone, go to 'accounts', then sync your google account from there.
[Desire Android Development] khenderick:
If you have the problem again, can you check if the OJ is dead? Seems like lots of us are linking the battery drain to the OJ death.
[Desire Android Development] lotzofdotz:
Why cant i just read the contact of the sim? With sense i could do this, i dont want my contact in my google account.
[Desire Android Development] Café King:
Adam, if possible...

Can a "fix" with the buggy code be flashed as a zip having no influence on other working things in this great rom? So the people who want's the led options back, can flash the zip?

Personly I would like to have the blue led back. Hope you are reading my suggestion.

Thanks for the greatest Desire rom ever...

/CK
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
Many thanks! :)

I downloaded SystemPanel and it told me that Mms.apk was running in the foreground. Guess that's the "drainer" at my Desire aswell. Also, Advanced Task Manager could not kill Mms.apk, but it's possible to turn it off in 'settings - applications'. I used adb to delete the .apk and replaced it with handcent. I'll report back on the batterystatus later.
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
I am pretty sure that my OJ was dead earlier. But now it's working. The only thing I have done which may have affected this was to delete the Mms.apk from the /systems/app folder.

Maybe someone with battery drainage and the dead OJ could try this aswell? I might be wrong though.

EDIT: Now the OJ was suddenly dead again without me doing anything which might have caused it. A reboot resurrected it:)
[Desire Android Development] Ultrazauberer:
Are there any 720p FPS hack included into this ROM?

battery drain like crazy

I install this room today every five min battery drain like 2% when i saw the battery use display shows 73% It drives me crazy apart from that room is fantastic help me out
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Holy crap... even with the display set to the lowest possible brightness, and playing a relatively CPU intensive game, the display uses 65% of the battery used so far. Isn't that a bit insanely high? :(
[Desire Android Development] tberg:
I've got to say that the 3.0.5 version is just brilliant! I haven't found any bugs whatsoever. This definitely beats every other ROM available.

Good work!

[Desire Android Development] kfasheldon:
Well Battery woes ;

Today the battery really went haywire, 8am to 11am moderate use of XDA, Web and GTalk down to 40%. Set cpu 462/998 Interactice with 245/245 Screen Off. Then a top up charge to 70% - had to survive. Checked XDA some chatter about SetCPU so uninstantiated and re-booted - 3pm to 8:30pm battery dead, 1 phone call 2mins and two text nothing else - crazy.

I never seen any issue with OJ failing and last night removed all widgets apart from power % widget and Beautiful Home , plain non live wall paper and lowers brightness fixed. All day no wi-fi or GPS.

Something is clearly not 100% with settings since 3.03/4/5 - 3.02 was amazing battery life.

BLUE LED

Ok original blue led was a bug - and we realy don't want buggy code in this rom. But as other roms can offer this with various programs then some one understands how it works so it clearly can be programmed and so it must be possible to set the default colours for the LED within the Kernal or Libs. If so it must be a possibility to add an option to OD Settings to choose default colour. This may be a way forward if direct access can not be offered or the method being used in other roms is 'sense' based.

Adam - would you have a look as it just adds style. Thank You

Anyway other than battery 1 other oddity today - HTCSync FC when I disconect from PC - but I cant use HTCSynch with this rom anyway ???

Then Headphone Icon non existent but no repeats of sounds from wrong speaker.

Looking forward to 3.1 very soon ! Any updates !! Thank You

/Karl
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
I don't have setcpu, but led notifications don't work here too...and I've tried different colours. That's pretty weird. And just to add some fuel to the fire I wouldn't mind getting some blue led if possible without buggy code...

Tested with 4 different programs, can't get red, yellow, green led notification.

EDIT AGAIN: now that's weird ! It worked just now with the screen OFF !
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Well. Battery on 3.0.5 is just plain phenomenal. Unplugged at 11:40 on Friday, used normally (3-4 hours internet on and off, few calls, texting, even GPS for 45 minutes) and it just hit 10%.

Thats 48 hours normal use! If I left it overnight I wager it'd still be on tomorrow morning! That's better than with any of the official Froyo's and the 2.1 Roms - I am using JuiceDefender but I have done with all the Roms I use.

FYI, AFAIK the display saying its taking up the most battery is still a reporting bug. It was before.

Edit - for all those with battery life issues, you have wiped before installing? INCLUDING Battery stats, haven't you?
[Desire Android Development] flexo786:
hi

im currently on opendesire 3.05 and for some reason i cant use the optical sensor to scroll in the menus or homepage. is there a setting i need to turn on for this or is it one of the negatives of using opendesire

thanks
[Desire Android Development] kfasheldon:
HMM:

This might lead somewhere depending on how the stats affect the readings for the remaining battery. Will try this when batt is 100% in morning, ie: Complete wipe inc batt stats and re-install of 3.00 then 3.05. Lets see. I will also leave everything as is only install basic stuff - make use of no widgets and see how it goes.
[Desire Android Development] tabsina:
If I'm using the Rom Manager app and check the only 'wipe' option there, is that enough to also wipe the battery stats, or does that require going into recovery? Is there any other things I should wipe that the 'wipe' checkbox doesn't cover?
[Desire Android Development] Sandule:
Noob question. I really like the way sense syncs contacts from everywhere into one universal contact. Is there any way to get the sense contacts into this rom as it would then be perfect.

[Desire Android Development] Jgruar:
Optical joypad (the trackpad & button :D).

Strangely enough, everytime i've tested it it has worked and i've still had battery problems.

Some are reporting it broken with battery problems and some are having better than excellent battery time. All with the same phone, same rom & (mostly) same procedures, wipe all & flash 3.0.0 -> 3.0.5. Too many are suffering from this for it to be just a setting gone wrong or an installed app malfunctioning. There has to be some common nominator for the battery drains, if its happening even on purely fresh flash.

I dunno, only thing that has made a difference for me is the mms.apk(idle battery usage is normal-ish), but it still eats my % when im actually using it...
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:
i full wiped my 3.05, and flashed 3.0 + 3.02 patch, will report the battery drains or not

FM radio app on OD

Hey Adam,

I read this thread, do you think you can try to include FM radio in OD?

It would be great!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:
ok, my phone is 100% battery at 8:00 am, with OD 3.0.5

at 11:30 am, it's 80% only

then I flashed 3.0.0 and 3.0.2 patch at 12:00 am, after all done (sync contacts and restore apps via titanium backup), 70% left .

from 12:00 am until now (2:28 pm), battery is 63%.

3.0.2 got better battery usage!

maybe the battery patch from 3.03 caused the battery drains?

with 3.05

3.5 hours, 20%

with 3.02

2.5 hours, 7%

i am at work, just few calls, no web browsing/game etc
[Desire Android Development] tttommy:
It was definitly the Mms.apk which was the reason for the battery drainage. When removed, the phone has only used 10% of the capacity after 11h. Phone now sleeps when the screen is off. :)
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Yes that's what I get also about 1% per hour.
[Desire Android Development] vorapoap:
mms.apk where?

About mms.apk, could someone post the clear instruction on how to remove it?

I have installed both Advanced Task Killer and System Panel.

I find only the service with name "Messaging" running.

When I killed it, it keeps coming back after starting "Messaging" application.

This app is used to read SMS

Under Advanced Task Killer -> [menu] -> Services, I don't see anything regarding mms.

In System Panel, some internal services are listed in Red-brown color. but I don't notice any mms.apk anywhere? However, if I hold click on "Messaging" and select Details, it will show the package name for "Messaging" as "com.android.mms" is that related?

Please help.

I like to solve this battery drain problem. Apart from it, this rom is great

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] ourfear:

Not using MMS or SMS that much, maybe that's the reason of my good battery life.
[Desire Android Development] bemymonkey:
Hmmm, while idle drain is also important, I'd be more interested in battery drain during active use. Ever since I activated the display of battery percentage in the status bar, I've become aware of the fact that just having the screen on causes the battery to drain incredibly quickly. Just while typing this post, I've lost as full 2%!

Maybe we could post battery usage for different scenarios, so that we can compare?

1. Web browser, on WiFi with perfect signal strength on both Wifi and cell radio: 4% used in 10 minutes (74% by the display, even though the brightness is on 0%).

2. Gaming (SNESoid, latest version, DK Country 2), screen on lowest, wifi and cell with perfect signal: 19% in 20 minutes.

The percentages are unlikely to be completely accurate, of course, but it would be interesting to know what kind of battery drain others are getting in specific usage scenarios.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
Noticed exactly the same thing, the display drain is now 60%, where before it would be lots less. Think I will remove the battery percentage from the top bar and see if this problem goes away.
[Desire Android Development] gianton:
Yes battery drain with any activity is insane. But then again I noticed that in the stock ROM as well.

So we can't blame this ROM for the display draining the battery.

It is like this for this device and we have to get used to it.
[Desire Android Development] zeussn:
After an hour of music playing 10% of battery have been use (at 90% of volume), which is almost the same as with the htc 1.21 rom, so not bad.

As for the headphones, they work just fine, even the remote control, the only thing missing is the icon but that's not a big deal.
