the News and Weather app / widget

For everyone asking for the news and weather app/widget from Nexus rom, the attached works fine on this ROM for me.

The only problem I have is that it is localised based on the locale settings on your phone - and there is no English/UK setting, so I get American news. I've no idea if this is easily fixed.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
I lost my 3g/hsdpa functionallity. Even when i dial *#*#INFO#*#* and do a ping test, it shows me gprs only.
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
Im also facing trouble with my signal :-(

Seems lower than earlier radio's and it currently is dropping out :'(
[Desire Android Development] Fille84:
Thx! Works great!
[Desire Android Development] express-codes:
If anyone wants to unlock their phone after upgrading please contact me. I have been recommended in an earlier thread on here page 17

[Desire Android Development] battletank:
No. no. no.

1. Apps that haven't got this line of code can be moved simply using an app like Titanium Backup.

2. However, that doesn't matter, because if the app is required at boot time (i.e. if it is a widget or if a widget calls data from it), then the Froyo-A2SD model means it cannot be moved to the SD card, even with that 'one line of code', without it causing problems.

3. Worse, even if you can move it, lots of crap still persists in the internal memory (Dalvik cache, etc.) and causes it to fill up really quickly.

It's not 'lazy devs' - Froyo-a2sd is fundamentally flawed because (a) the apps cannot be accessed at boot, and (b) it is limited in the scope of what is moved.

Please add more languages (Turkish and Arabic). I don't want to use morelocale.
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
me too, reception of this rom is much lower than the others.

i could only get 3G at it's best. Never on HSDPA.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Yups, but it did work for a few hours, so i was hoping on a vodafone network interference.

Then you came with the same issue and then my hope flew away.

Has anyone on Orange UK flashed this rom and radio?

Will the new radio work with Orange UK phones?
[Desire Android Development] JohnQ:
very strange, the setInstallLocation app just can not be open, once i click open it, it will stuck and wait a little bit later, it will show this app times out, force to close or wait....

i tried a lot of times, then how to set the installation into external.....help
[Desire Android Development] kerzo:
I think that might be an issue with the ROM rather than the radio - I just just reverted to stock 2.1 on this updated radio and I can get HSDPA fine, couldn't with the beta.
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Just flashed another rom, same problem.
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
I have flashed it but I unlocked my phone after a previous OTA update locked it. Changing to this radio will probably lock it but an unlock code doesn't cost much and you only have to unlock it once.

Are you guys sure your losing HSPDA? Although my icon only shows 3G, in phone info it is showing as HSPDA and I run a speedtest and get 2MBit+ download speeds.
[Desire Android Development] Egan:
Same here.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
There was an issue with the HSDPA-icon, there is a fix in an earlier post. So i'm sure you are running hsdpa.

I'm talking about the apps on market, not the ROM-cooks. :) But apparently it's not only one line of code as I have read otherwhere
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Might be noobish and even wrong thread, but is it possible to use the DeFrost uvoc kernel with this rom? Or will the Sense interface f*ck it up?
[Desire Android Development] liamstears:
Im also on vodafone but I have found that turning off the "enable always-on mobile" improves the signal :-P
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
Well then sorry for missunderstanding :-) since there are so many people complaining for no reason, sry.

But it really is just one line in the apps AndroidManifest.xml file.

Maybe some app devs just think its of no use since just a small percentage of android users have Froyo running on their devices.
[Desire Android Development] Gambler_BE:
I've got a big problem!

I've installed titanium backup, but it says "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work, ...... "

Any ideas? :s
[Desire Android Development] ticalo:
Great rom. Atlast no more echo. But the sense speed is as slow as at 2.1 .

One big problem I noticed with this rom is that the battery drain is really really high. Unplugged the phone 6h ago and haven't even using it more than a quick phone conversion with my lady. And now the battery is below 40%.

But beside that, everything else works great.

[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
It sounds like you doesn't have superuser presmissions installed.
[Desire Android Development] ljesh:
I have completely different experience from yours. For 7 hours that it has been unplugged, I have gone down 25% of battery (currently at 75%) but I have used the phone ALOT. Recording videos, browsing, playing games, phone calls...

Are you sure your phone "sleeps" properly? That would be the first place to look at.
[Desire Android Development] ticalo:
How do I check that?

Is there some way to find out what's wrong with the 3g/hsdpa connection ?
[Desire Android Development] Gambler_BE:
That's what I was thinking at first, but it is installed, and set-cpu's root request worked just fine

Could be, but with paul's froyo ROM, and with Defrost titanium backup worked just fine, so I don't think that's the problem.

I didn't have anything very important backed up, but it's still pretty strange

[Desire Android Development] Dany0:
Recording video causes crash, hang-on and reboot. Can I fix this? Thanks. And oh btw how do I recognize I successfully flashed the radio!?
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Anyone else noticed there's no sound on movies? copied a file to my laptop to check the 720p and there was no sound

Also, do you have to flash the radio after the ROM to get it working properly? the quality of 720p didn't look to great. I've since flashed another ROM with some apps removed and left the radio from the first flash
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
I have sound in my clips.
[Desire Android Development] MasDroid:
Yep, flash the new radio after flashing the rom.
[Desire Android Development] hipp:
It shouldn't matter if the flash the radio first or after.
[Desire Android Development] Gambler_BE:
That fixed it, thanks! :D
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
So if you wanna reflash the same ROM you have to do the radio again? seems a bit strange...I'll give it a go tho
[Desire Android Development] hensk:
I flashed DJ 3 hours ago,& impresion are

1.very good HTC Froyo

2.Speedy also

3.720p have not good quality

4.I have 1 restart

5.I try to instal black status bar & change bootanime

but phone wont be boot,than I must reinstall DJ Droid with fake flash

& I`m happy to have DJ Droid or some ROM on sd card

6.Without thouse problems I m satisfy
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
black status bar is on this ROM as it's Sense so you don't need it

Also, sound plays on the phone but not when copied to a PC (an MP4 I mean)
[Desire Android Development] Dany0:
And does it matter if I didn't wipe before flashing radio!?
[Desire Android Development] Victor.S:
Anyone experiencing reception loss when holding the phone in the right hand?

[Desire Android Development] MasDroid:
@EddyOS ahh no sorry, i thought you wanted to know if the new radio was required for 720p video recording.
[Desire Android Development] Dany0:
that's problem of your provider, try the same outdoors and it won't happen ;)

Chura:

It's already there just open app called "SetInstallLocation" and choose "external"
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
I'll answer it myself. The kernel worked to boot and everything except the OCUV worked. I set up the setcpu to 1.2Ghz but the screen started to flicker and draw white lines. The linpack scores sucked so it's not recomended. Going back to the ordinary DJ Droid
[Desire Android Development] Chura:
As i said, OLD WAY man...

Spiffing!

Spiffing ROM! This was the first one that had enough to make me want to (finally) root my desire and put a custom ROM on it.

Thanks!!!!

I've added a few screenshots and talked through soem of the differences on a blog post. Take a look if you're interested in what's changed to decide if you want to install. the domain is my username with a .com on the end :) Sorry, I can't post links yet.
[Desire Android Development] ZiCoN:
Impressions so far...

GREAT performance

Battery is awesome while on GSM only, 3G sucked the life out of it

Had one reboot (expect something to do with bad 3G signal and wifi on the maxx)

Apps on SD is flawless after setinstalllocation to external

All my paid apps are in market under downloads

All in all... Super ROM!
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
At beidl's request i did a adb pull /proc/last_kmsg last_kmsg.txt

I had 2 restarts in 21 hours of having the rom installed.

Here is the file as an attachment.
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Did you try with Defrost's 1.8 kernel or the new 2.0? He said he changed the kernel to support the new radio, so I think the 1.8 is ment to 'not work', and 2.0 should be pretty much compatible with DJDroid.

I'm having a problem with one of my paid apps (Ultimate Juice). My other paid apps reinstalled no problem.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] sucramco:
Well, I love everything about it apart from the Froyo app2sd. Low memory very early, set the apps to external. Then rebooted and the widgets went. I did know this before hand, and would expect old App2sd+ to be added soon.

The best thing though is, I set up a wifi hot spot and tested a 360 at work, using the wireless adaptor. It worked perfectly, going straight on Xbox live. I was surfing the net at the same time on the phone, now that is pure class.

I have no problem with syncing Facebook, Twitter and email. However when I lost the widgets I went to friend stream and that is working fine. For a beta, it is doing pretty much what I expect.

Thanks to all the team involved.
[Desire Android Development] pympster:
bug... the music player seems to just stop randomly!
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
it doesn't seem to be a "hard reboot", just a "soft reboot".

Next time it reboots, maybe check if the first thing you see is the HTC "right-after--the-powerbutton-has-been-pressed" screen or just the DJDroid bootscreen.

If it vibrates and shows the HTC screen, its a hard reboot,

if you only see the DJDroid bootscreen, its a soft reboot.

Then maybe next time it reboots pull both /proc/last_kmsg and logcat (as fast as you can)

to pull the logcat:

Maybe you could try to wipe and reflash the ROM in case the problem was caused by a faulty installation.
[Desire Android Development] jokage:
Errm does anyone else have a download issue on this Rom's Browser? I'm getting download unsuccessful all time !
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
No youre not, taking the piss tbh :\
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
I used the 2.0, because of the radio support. Like I said, the kernel works, and the UVOC works, but for some reason the screen flickers and the linpack scores was about 26MFLOPs. Wierd indeed. When I reduced the clock to 900:ish the flickering got less frequent, but still existed. The linpack also got higher again. But the point of UVOC is the faster speeds, so it's no use to flash the DeFrost kernel until it's been solved.flops
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Only problem i had with 2.0 is the auto-brightness aint functioning correctly...
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
I think it's because of the UV. Similar things happen when you overclock your PCs GPU too much and there's not enough power to OC.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
Did you use the OVUC kernel and setcpu?
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
overvolting and underclocking... :P

For all people who wonder why SetCPU doesn't work on the standard kernel:

It's because of the perflock.

And HTC seems to have the perflock bug fixed, so the way coolbho3k implemented

the perflock disabler in SetCPU doesn't work.
[Desire Android Development] olipheus:
lol, might be the best solution ;)

Killing Tasks with Astro File Manager seems to work just fine. But forget about killing tasks. If your worried use Spare Parts to set memory management to Aggressive. Most good apps have options to keep them in memory by default Android Mem Management.

This Froyo Desire build on my device already has more memory free then the Stock one.

There's a very extensive article on why Killing tasks/processes. is a waste of time and energy.

It was hard for me to believe it coming from WinMo, but in the end, the time you have your screen on to kill apps already uses up more energy from you and your phone then the actual gain from closing them.

On another subject.

I did a few videos and on one I had the CPU Under-Clocked and it had a few hick ups during recording.

So afterwards I Set CPU Min/Max both to the max of 998Mhz to be sure there would be no hickups because of the CPU scaling.

Is there a way to test if the CPU does scale during (normal non OC/UC CPU) video recording?
