[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaryzid:
I agree.

There WAS a time when OD and DF is almost similar inside out but as of lately both ROMs are very much different.

But on the question of which had better battery life my vote goes to DF. OD seems to be unstable lately and has turned out to be more experimental then stable (e.g implementation of multitouch droid keyboard, switching to HTC keyboard and now infusing elements from Galaxy S). I had more better power drain on DF and CM6. :cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nodders:
Cor, this all seems familiar.

Anyway, instead of polls which to be frank are worthless in this regard, has anyone actually done any measured testing between battery lives of different versions of different ROMs? That might actually be useful and interesting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefunkygibbon:
how can an app which only runs when you open it explicitly drain the battery in 2 hours (unless you sit there with the camera on for 2 hours)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
I've very bad experience with OpenDesire battery... I can't say the same about DeFrost, wich has a good battery life
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomfix:
I was once with OpenDesire a few days ago and don't consider going back because one night i had 59% battery charge and woke up the next morning finding that it's dead.

Going back to DefroST and running my same old apps that i previously had on OD works just fine. With my phone with plenty of charge the next morning :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fakts13:
i think this thread would be more useful if people would give their specific experiences with the roms they use the most, as i'm sure there are quite a number of people that haven't tried one or the other long enough to give substantial feedback. i think people should include:

which version of the rom(s) they tested/used

what kind of battery life they experienced and with what type of usage (i know it's subjective and everyone gets different results, but it's better than just voting for the rom you used and saying it's the best)

length of time that was allowed to test (there have been occasions where rebooting or going through a complete charging cycle have yielded better battery life. so it should be noted if people only allowed the rom they tested to be on their phone for maybe 20% or whatever, or a couple of hours)

and any other information people think might help/be useful to others

also what radio people are running would be very useful as well
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatsu_1981:
This is a development forum.

I think that this type of thread are useless, since battery life is too "personal" to sort with a silly poll.

Battery life is meant to be professionally tested with some program, with the same device. One can have faulty battery, another one can have a non calibrated battery, another one a new battery.

My two cents.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umd:
I tried DeFrost just for a while to see Quadrant score. So I can't say something certain about it's battery life. But OpenDesire I'm using rigt now has great battery life. I mentioned that today in OD thread also. With normal use(Web, lots of messaging, GPS etc. 768 mhz cpu speed (it does 1300 Quadrant score with that speed) and 2G mobile network) I've used it for 70 hours. Really impressive I think.

Please Mods, close this thread.

f.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomfix:
For what reason?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipje:
soooo many different aspects to battery life that just asking randomly to 'vote' is indeed not helping too much.

I won't say it as blunt as 'please close this thread' but really helpful it's not.

For example, what if - eehhhhm, let's pick Defrost - DeFrost comes out as 75% voting to have better battery life. A new user comes in, sees DeFrost as better, and picks that one. His battery drains within an hour, and he is thinking "WTF?!? insert random roob rage stuff here WTF!?!?!"

This happens all the time. Battery usage users are _so_ different based on usage, network provider, location and apps used / installed that the ROM really doesn't have much influence.

Only if there is a real 'bug' it's noticeable, and the dev's are quickly on it then.

anyone able to access to markerplace? i am getting this error since hours ago

Marketplace could not connect to the server. Please check your data connection and try again
[HD2 General] Richy99:
working fine for me on o2 uk
[HD2 General] echobunny:
Same problem here. Tried Hard Reset before, but problem still occur.

My only way to get access to Marketplace is to uninstall the initial program that was needed when i first tapped on the icon, u should be able to find it in "Remove programs", " Microsoft Windows(r) Marketplace for ..." then soft reset the phone, re install the initial program again by tapping the Marketplace icon.

Then will i be able to enter Marketplace again. But the same problem might resurface after a couple of days or weeks. I know this is not a permanent solution but at least you should be able to download all the necessary programmes that you required. Hope this can help you in a small way.

I'm on a DeFroST 3.0b ROM, I think it was because I factory reset my phone. Now there isn't any Youtube app and I can't download it from the market.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00445:
Bump......
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budadank:
re-install rom after another wipe, check if youtube app is in fact included with the rom.

failing above, flash a different rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00445:
Yep, Youtube is restored after re-installing the ROM, but it's *horror* classified as a "Downloaded app" which means it'll be permenantly deleted upon factory reseting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budadank:
Not necessarily. There are a few Apps in the Downloaded section of Leedroid 1.9a (what I'm using) there were included in the ROM. I think the creator of your ROM has simply done that so you can choose to uninstall YouTube, should you so wish. Must be something to do with the APK's location inside the .zip file. I don't know enough about the system structure to say with any conviction, though.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xpstyle36:
Well if your looking at this guide, you probably already have HardSPL :l and even if you didn't when you take a look at the ROM pages it explains it there, so I don't think its very productive or helpful to post random crap like that :l And as for the radio, i tested several radios and it didn't make any difference TO ME but if you really want to know the radio i am running its, 2.12.50. Happy now ?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
I think it's incredibly important to post that here.

Imagine someone sees an HD2 with android or hears about it from a friend, does a quick google search and finds this thread.

They come in here looking for a quick fix for android....

They could end up bricking their device or something....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xpstyle36:
/sigh, what are you trying to do here ? cause problems.if you had never even heard about android on HD2 you take one look at the writing in this post and think WHAT, it says things like Flash it to your device and lets go. you wouldnt know how to flash or even what it meant, so you couldn't even brick your device as you would not know how :l Please stop filling up this thread that i made to HELP people not argue with some guy who keeps coming up with random crap that is not going to happen, and i am not being unreasonable by saying that and i am sure many other members will agree im not in the wrong.

Unfortunately still having the screen freezes, even after toying with CyanogenMod settings.

Back to the waiting game then. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xpstyle36:
Did you turn off all the screen rotation under cm settings and normal settings and did you calibrate the Gsensor :) these things can also resolve the problem, you can also disable the Gsensor in WinMO and this will cure your problem but thats not reccomended ^^ Give those suggestions a try, again hope it works for you.

Are we allowed to start a poll asking people which mainstream rom they're using just so we know what is the most common and popular rom is,? Or is it a taboo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadiku:
I turned all the screen rotation off. Since I'm using ChuckyDroidROM, the gsensor calibration is removed.

In android, it worked for a while but tilting it continually in Gallery3D caused a freeze.

I wish I could disable the theming on shubCRAFT, it's the only thing that puts me off using it. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
I think that if you look at this thread you will see

that this method is a lot of trouble for no additional benefit over a simple format using WinMo in the phone. If you would "explain why" it would be interesting because no one else can. A full WinMo format, not quick, overwrites the complete data space on an SD card with new redundant data. It also only reserves and writes one FAT where Windows on the PC reserves and writes two. You can't get something from nothing and WinMo non-quick format leaves nothing in the data space. (And yes I do understand full mil spec data destruction and redundent and random erase so everything is destroyed.)

Well i may be wrong but as far as i was aware, when you put a linux android build on your SDcard it creates a partition or something like that on the card, (i will look it up and get back to you) and windows cannot see it, wheras linux can see it and therefore it can wipe it, and these left over bits that windows cant see dont always get on when you get a new build :) Thanks for pointing it out though, just wanna help as many as possible ^^

To be honest i think that if you got yourself a Shubcraft build and then followed the guide then you would end up with a pretty stable build, with no freezing, but if you dont like the theme, then i guess that there is nothing i can do, but hope that a sense version of it is relesed so that you can get yourself a nice stable build ;D

@friedsushi definitely agree with you it isn't clarified correctly about different radios affecting the android or that hspl is necessary for it to work. I am constantly getting people pming me to ask for a walkthrough, which on most occasions I have been able to get this working even though my wordage is more simplified in layman's terms-his looks like its been copy/pasted from all over these pages which in effect isn't a bad thing but to call it a guide and not including vital information is a bit haphazard IMO.

& to the op I am not flaming you but there are already guides out there & don't particularly need another unfinished version to add to the numerous threads which have only just been cleaned up by the mods, plus with only 11 posts 8 of which are on here I honestly don't see much experience to be able to give people guides
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xpstyle36:
I dont get it ? not one word of this was copied and pasted from someone else, and this is just the process i went through to get it to work perfectly, i didnt include the parts about the HardSPL and the radio because, i tryed a few different radios and it made no difference to me AND you wouldn't be able to flash or follow these instructions if you didnt know what hard SPL was. Again i am not flaming but i was just providing a set of instructions that i did, to get it working. So its not a unfinished guide, just because it didnt include some realy basic information. Sorry if i did not make this 100% noob friendly, was just trying to get a few more phones running stable ^^

Hi,I just discovered that when I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and then selecting "All" option,,the inbuilt android/HTC Sense apps tend to display 0.00B as size for each of these apps.For example, "Accounts&sync","Adobe Flash Player","Android Live Wallpapers","Android System","App sharing" and many more like that. Is there something i can do to rectify this so as to display the correct memory size alloocated to these apps?There are no problems with apps downloaded from market or installed manually,sizes are displayed correctly.Though I remember downloading "Dolphin Browser HD" and then moving it to SDCard beacuse the option to do so was given under Applications, though i've uninstalled it.Does this have anything to do with the current issue?I haven't done the adb shell thing that allow apps to be moved to SDCards.

Has anyone set up the eclipse emulator with a HD2 skin and settings? If so I would like details of how to do this. I have looked round on google and these forums but not found it, the search results come back with everyones phone signatures as matches :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] noixdarec:
Assume you know how to create an emulator,

you then need to:

-Search for HD2's specifications (screen size, density...) search for how to make a HTC Desire HD emulator, I found a guide but don't remember where. If found it, do what it says but see if there is something different from HD2's specifications, if so then use HD2's attributes. Now you have a emulator match to HD2.

-Replace the skin with this one.
