[Desire Android Development] the-fallen:
You are right, it is unnecessary that the CPU fires up just for reading a text message, but I thought (know) that's what's the cpufreq governor for.

While the "ondemand" governor isn't the best choice for that, because it fires up the CPU to a very high speed and clocks down after (to give the best responsiveness) the "conservative" governor shout do what you said what's best: it steps up step by step and slowly depending on the load. Ideally it shout never raise the CPU speed much for reading a text message or something.

And please, don't misunderstand me, I do not want to criticize someone, I really like all the things people come up with to save power and I am currently using the powersaving mod for myself. I just hope we can get even more out of it.

Maybe a new governor could help, one that knows where the "break-even" point is... when it is more useful to speed up and when it isn't.

Also it would be interesting to see what tasks/threads wake up the CPU (unnecessary often) from a sleep state and how often ( like intel's powertop utility on a x86 system ).
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The problem with the conservative governor is it takes time to step the frequency up, so if you regularly use the phone from idle, you're going to notice it seem a little bit sluggish. It's probably the best overall for powersaving though. The ondemand governor shoots the frequency up to maximum all the time, for the slightest things, and often when the maximum isn't needed. By cutting the frequency a little, tasks generally won't take any longer because the CPU still remains idle for most of the time, but it will save a little power.

At the moment the maximum frequency is only cut slightly when you reach 30% of battery left, this isn't something that kicks in quickly.
[Desire Android Development] robkeevil:
Noob question 2: is this Zipaligned, or are stock roms zipaligned by default? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Stock roms are already zipaligned, so there is no need. The deodexed mod is zipaligned.

languages

Hi, I just got the OTA froyo through my provider here in Japan, build 2.28.762.1, it says the kernel is version 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c.

I'd like to have a rooted version so I can do a little more customizing, but before I try, I'm wondering about languages, IME, and the market.

Can I use Japanese as the main language, rather than English? How about the Japanese IME, would I just download one? Finally, does installing this affect the market in any way with me being in Japan?

Thanks a lot.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
Wasup! Teppic why did you set when at charging, a minimum cpu frequency about 500mhz? it just takes longer to charge, I don't see the point.Or is it just on screenstate ON?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes... if you are using your phone on charge it means it'll be much more responsive, when the screen is off it will charge as normal. The screen will be using much more power anyway.
[Desire Android Development] bubble:
Which powersaving modpack would you recommend? 1.5 or 1.6?

I see 1.6 is not listed in the first post.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
perfect! thank you for your reply!
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
Thanks a lot for this ROM. Works well for me.

But I am having one major issue. Don't know whether it is with the handset or what.

My GPS lock is terribly terribly slow. It takes more than 5minutes to get a GPS lock, even when I am outside under the sun. Even before this rom, GPS lock used to take a bit of time, but never so long.

Any idea what the problem is or how it can be rectified?
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
I dont recognize this with the rom. Try to reflash the radio and try again.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
@OP Teppic74

Still very heppie/happy with this rom. Something about battery-consumption is what i am always looking for..;) I was comparing battery consumption with the tweaks Teppic provided us and i must say its just fine. Drops overnight whenn i am sleeping, about 1% every houre. With normal use, some calls, sms, mail browsing, battery life is very acceptable.

But as i stated, everytime still searching for some more. I flashed Richards UvOC-kernel , and watched the behavioure concerning batterylife. With the same config as running Teppic's tweaks, i am loosing now less battery-juice and have to charge once in about 36/48 houres.

The difference between Teppics tweaks and powersavings-modules, and Robert's kernell are not huge/gigantic, but its worth trying.

Just to let you know that i didn't use setup-cpu with Teppic's modules! With Robert Trip's kernell i did use setcpu. Settings only': interactive min 245, max 1045 and sreenoff max/min 245.
[Desire Android Development] schoerb:
My Desire updated to the new Market 2.07.

Could you please include it in the app-zip-File?
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Where are you from ? My Market is still the 1.82, but im not in a country that recently got the Market option.
[Desire Android Development] schoerb:
I'm in Germany with my Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Goto: settings/applications/market and clear data/ remove update. Then start the market again, accept the lincense and if all is ok it will be updated to 2.07
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I don't have a market update available for my phone, and it doesn't show up in a search.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Then you must have 2.07 already or living in the wrong country....:o

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/10/08/android-market-countries/

Google released an updated Market app, you should now have version 2.07.

This is a silent update; users will not see a notification and will not be prompted to do anything. If you want to accelerate the self-update process, launch Android Market, navigate back to the Home screen, and after 5-10 minutes, relaunch it.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Nope, I'm on 1.82 and in the UK.
[Desire Android Development] Derevko:
Update unsuccessful

Hi,

I was an happy user of this ROM. Now from two days, I can't update all applications from the Market, I got always "Update unsuccessful" for every application.

Do you know how I can start to debug this issue? Which log files I should looking for?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Have you changed anything? Installed any external mods? I can't see why Market would work fine and then stop working otherwise.

If you run logcat you can see messages that go by as you install an app, but you need adb for that.
[Desire Android Development] Derevko:
Ok, I don't know how this happened, but I noted this on the logfile:

After deleting that file, updates are working again!
[Desire Android Development] Arun_Nexus:
Will this ROM work for nexus one too?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] green_archer:
Won't install

Teppic,

Will formatting system and boot partition help when installing your ROM (aside from doing full wipe of course)?

My phone got trapped in 'setting up your phone' part after installing your ROM. I had this coz I tried install another custom ROM but decided to go back to yours.

Hope you can help.

Thanks in advance.:)

Stock ROM with Radio

Hi

Is there ok to put in kernel v3 uv/oc in this rom
[Desire Android Development] hamdir:
richard kernel v3 works great on this rom, just a warning don't install the seperate wifi fast modules, they caused serious issues in my wifi performance when i tried to reinstall v3 my phone got stuck in a boot loop

just install the basic v3 and you should be fine
[Desire Android Development] htc3htc:
OK

Thanks mate
[Desire Android Development] mimirom:
Hi,

I tried to flash this rom today to my HTC WildFire via clockworkmod recovery. Previously I was running the WildPuzzle ROM + overclockable kernel. Did a factory reset/wipe first. The flashing process finished and I hit "reboot system now."

Then the phone started to reboot perpetually like crazy in a pretty fast cycle:

"->white screen with HTC logo + short vibration -> screen on and off a couple times -> blanc screen -> reboot ->"

This went on for quite some time. I think it rebooted easily like 20 or 30 times before I decided to pull the battery.

Is this what normally should be happening with this ROM?

Thanks..
[Desire Android Development] casca:
dude...this is for desire only...head over to the Wildfire section mate.

regards
[Desire Android Development] casca:
double post...sorry!
[Desire Android Development] mimirom:
Wow, I din't notice! Got here via the search function...

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
but i think the powersaving module wont work with the v3 kernel and i preffer battery life.
[Desire Android Development] btuser001:
Help... I have setup a2sd+ with an ext3 partition and it's working correctly as far I can tell. But I'm still running very low on internal phone storage (15MB left!?). According to Quick System Info, I have 527MB left on my a2sd storage (from a total of 1GB). Did something go wrong with my a2sd+? Or is it normal for apps to take up some internal storage even when it's installed to the sd card by a2sd+??
[Desire Android Development] BadMofo21:
Very Good ans much appreciated STOCK ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Its normal, data is always in internal storage.
[Desire Android Development] green_archer:
Try deleting cache.
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
Hi, Wanted to check can I use SetCPU with your powersaving modpack? I have installed your ROM + a2sd+ and currently using SetCPU. The battery life is acceptable, but would like to improve it. So just wanted to know whether I can flash your powersaving pack and then use SetCPU after that? I have some profiles enabled in SetCPU as well (underclocked to diff levels according to battery left).
[Desire Android Development] Ullie76:
How do I do that?
[Desire Android Development] btuser001:
Thanks, I'll try that.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > click on application and Clear Cache

or there are cache cleaner apps in the market
[Desire Android Development] btuser001:
Hmmm.. it seems that none of my apps have any cache for me to clear.. (even market, maps, and the like)
[Desire Android Development] Ullie76:
Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] green_archer:
Try re-doing sd-ext using ROM Manager (its the easiest method IMO). Afterwards, check in ADB if A2SD is properly working with the command below:

adb shell

ls /data
[Desire Android Development] btuser001:
I did the adb shell thing and this is what I got:

Is my a2sd+ working correctly?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can use setcpu, yes. The scaling parts of the modpack will be ignored if setcpu is running.
[Desire Android Development] green_archer:
Please do more check mentioned in this guide.
[Desire Android Development] btuser001:
I did more extensive checks according to the guide. From what I can tell (and I'm an android n00b) it looks like a2sd+ is working right.. I guess it's just the app data that's adding up (please correct me if I'm wrong)
[Desire Android Development] Frank_FC:
Hello, this is my first post :) Thanks for this great ROM, I've read all the posts in this thread (it took me some time) but I've learned a lot.

I installed ROM + a2sd + powersaving modpack, everything is OK but I have a doubt... How can I know that the powersaving modpack was correctly installed? Because battery only last about 20 hours for me and before installing this mod it was almost similar. I mean no improvement on battery from my viewpoint, did i do something wrong?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] the-fallen:
20 hours is really not very much (assuming that you do not use your phone extreme intensive (using wlan,umts, bluetooth, etc).

One idea is that this may happen if there is a Task in the background that prevents the CPU/System to go into sleep mode (cheap and crappy coded apps)).

You could try to uninstall/deactivate unnecessary apps that are being started when the Android OS boots up and reboot your phone.

And you can use JuicePlotter to track the battery drain after you tweaked some things (makes it easier to see if some things work).

I hope others have some more ideas for you...
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
Ok great, thanks Teppic. Would you be uploading the final signed version of the powersaving modpack, or should I just use the test version no.2? Also, if you release upgrades down the line, can they just be flashed on top of the previous versions of this modpack?
[Desire Android Development] hamdir:
google search just received an update on the market :)

i have a question, if anyone can help, i'm a pure ignorant when it comes to making ROMs

i'm very happy with the state of my customised rom right now, teppic's 2.10 rom + updated sys apps + updated sys flash + wake trackpad + darktremor a2sd with dalvik + richard v3, with setcpu on interactive its running like a dream :) i have nandroid backup of it but can i easily make a flashable zip file out of it? titanium back has something called make update.zip but i don't know what it does, can anyone help? thx
[Desire Android Development] ideasman69:
hey teppic74.. just want to say thanks for this awesome rom. its such a nice change from all the other totally bloated and overdone roms.

i've installed the base rom (with init.d support), the flash removal mod, powersave mod, tweak mod and apps2sd. just wondering if i have to install setcpu to make use of the powersave pack - or if it "just works"?

cheers!

and thanks again for all your efforts.. much appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
No need to use SetCPU, there's a script that runs at bootup that applies a -75mv undervolt to all frequencies.

Then there's a script that listens for the screen state, when it knows the screen is off it locks CPU frequency to 245mhz max, when screen is on it changed it to 998mhz.
[Desire Android Development] ideasman69:
that is AWESOME! thanks mate
[Desire Android Development] bodger_uk:
Has anyone got a working copy if the new Google search update? The automated OTA one won't install correctly on my phone.

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] Frank_FC:
3G/H always activated, no bluetooth, no WLAN, just email sync every 30 minutes. I thing i use it in a normal way, not heavy use... how can I see which applications start with Android bootup? any config file?

Another problem that I saw yesterday when I turned on the screen is that icons and widgets were duplicated (a copy of each icon was over its original), analog clock widget was not working (animation). Looked like screen was not updating, I deleted duplicates, rebooted and there were not duplicates nor original icons/widgets :S, i had to add them again. Now it's working OK but it is really strange.

Should I flash powersaving modpack again?

Thanks mate! and sorry for my English :)
[Desire Android Development] PTKDev:
HIGH POWERSAVING MODPACK / POWERSAVING MODPACK have screen off state? Is 256mhz?
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
Should be 245mhz. :)
[Desire Android Development] TP-Power:
Hi guys! I can't record at 720P. It crashes and the phone then reboots itself? Does anybody experience the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Minor update: update apps 1.4 - latest Google Search app.
[Desire Android Development] veryjiggy:
thanks. what about powersaving?which version do we use? 1.5 or 1.6?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'm going to upload a new version later (1.6 is a test release). I haven't fully decided the settings for it.
[Desire Android Development] green_archer:
More info please

is this the first time your phone crashed and rebooted?

Also, when your phone reboots, does it reboot in a loop and you need to remove battery to boot it normally?
[Desire Android Development] the-fallen:
I do not think that flashing the ps-pack again would help.

I currently have no idea how to see what is starting up on boot but those you installed yourself to do exactly that (some taskkillers, other programs that do things in the background even if your Screen is off).

But in my optinion always running 3G Networks could be the problem. An active 3G takes a lot of power. Try without 3G for a day... you could use JuicePlotter to compare (as an example).
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
The problem might be the radio. Flash the radio from post #1
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yeah if you try using an old radio with froyo the camcorder will crash at 720p. (The instructions are clear that you need a 5.x radio.)
[Desire Android Development] PTKDev:
Not work music-streming on my parrot mk6000 on my car =(

Work audio-streaming (for listening call conversation)
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
Autostarts will help. It shows every app during startup and after startup.

I also have problem with battery life.

Before it lasts for 36 to 48 hours depending of usage.

Now is 24 to 32.

The only difference is A2SD+ and Cifs.
[Desire Android Development] philje123:
Hi there.

Would it be possible for you to create a trackpad unlock mod? i.e. two clicks on trackpad would wake up and unlock.

Tried using one for an OCUV kernel i applied but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

EDIT:

Never mind. I used the one from Leedroid and it works perfect!
[Desire Android Development] karoodee:
Hi!

I had a huge batterydrain with CIFS, too. After flashing everything again without the CIFS-Mod everything worked fine again. It seemed to me that it would use a lot of energy when looking for shares that are not available (when you're "on the road" and not connected via wifi)...

karoodee
[Desire Android Development] phyl65:
Hi !

Thanks Teppic for this great ROM !

In the PowerSaving ModPack, the CPU is fixed to 245mhz when the screen is OFF.

The problem is that sometimes, I need a little bit more power when the screen is OFF. For example, when using the Desire as an FTP server with SwiFTP the connection is really slow when the screen is OFF... and faster when the screen is ON. So, I have to leave the screen on... which is counterproductive !

I didn't check when the Desire is used as a WiFi Access Point...

Maybe that using the ondemand governor with a range between 245mhz and 500mhz could solve this kind of issue...

Phyl65
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
Hi Phyl65,

I don't think this is an issue with the CPU speed, but with how the WiFi behaves when the screen is off.

When the screen is off, the Desire's WiFi changes it's WiFi power to a low power state, people have reported this before when they've been streaming music via their shares.

There's a WiFi fast module that you can flash, there's a thread here about it.

There's some zips attached to the thread, just choose the right one for your kernel version (the one with N in the name is for users who want WiFi N mode).
[Desire Android Development] topyli:
Did you wipe when you reflashed?
[Desire Android Development] blakey092:
Thank you for this, From unrevoked to installing this rom via rom manager went without issue, It's a bit nail biting when you do all this for the first time with your brand new phone but the result is more than worth the effort.This is a very stable rom and exactly what I was looking for.It resolved ALL the issues I was having with the orange update. A big thank you to all the people involved in making these things possible and for teppic for his hard work. It's much appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] phyl65:
Thanks a lot Mekrel ! That was the issue. I flashed the wifi fast module and the wifi is now fast with the screen OFF.
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
I've reflashed too, without cif addon.

Nope. I didn't wipe. Phone works fine.
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
Strange thing. Leodroid patch doesn't work for me.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
probably because you haven't flashed the new changed kernel.

without it, it won't work.
[Desire Android Development] topyli:
Thanks. Off to reflash, as I have battery life problems as well.
[Desire Android Development] adam.mt:
For info, trackpad unlock is included in the 'Minor Tweaks' mod.
[Desire Android Development] adam.mt:
For info, the faster Wi-Fi driver is included in the 'CIFS + OpenVPN pack' mod.
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
Ahh didn't know that, thanks but then again that pack also loads the CIFS and TUN modules during boot.
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
Wake is included actually, not unlock.
[Desire Android Development] robkeevil:
Hi Teppic, have you looked into the "smartass" governor? Ive notice a few of the other roms have moved over to this and was wondering how it performs (battery life and speed) vs ondemand.
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
It's nothing to write home about, I'm running it on my own kernel I compiled with Teppic's ROM.

However, I'm running greater undervolt, but I'm finding the same level of battery usage when I ran Teppic's with the stock kernel and power save mods.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I prefer to stick to official Linux governors as they've been hugely tested. The problem with others is that they might work well for some people but be disastrous under certain other circumstances.
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
Excellent solution and thanks for the link. Can I just ask if I flash this kernel mod if there is a way to reverse/remove it later?

I've been so happy all the way with stability of teppic's v2 initd + system flash + tweeks + powersave etc and don't want to load up any future conflicts. Or is that not an issue to be concerned about?
[Desire Android Development] Mekrel:
Shouldn't be an issue as Teppic uses the same module in his CIFs and OpenVPN add on and he does test vigorously.

However, you could create a backup of the stock module before flashing this by booting the phone into recovery and typing the following commands (obviously do this before you flash the mod, else you'll be backing up the modded version :p )

adb shell mount /system
adb shell
mv /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.bk
exit
[Desire Android Development] Psych0Chimp:
Any news on the new Powersaving Mod?
[Desire Android Development] ecstasyado:
Can I add a (WIFI N) patch with this ROM? please if it's possible which should I use?

thk u in advanced
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The CIFS/VPN modpack already includes the 'fast' wifi module (i.e. it doesn't drop the rate when the phone is idle).

11n draws too much battery so I won't be including it, but it's possible to install it yourself from elsewhere.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Will be uploaded Sunday.
