i can confirm that, but i went back to stock desire rom, quite disappointed that with every release major functions get buggier and buggier, make me spending more time reflashing my phone than actually using it.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
i use 7.9, then flashing richardtrip's kernel, then calibrate the battery. All are good. i don't know though whether it's the kernel or the battery calibration that helps.
[Desire Android Development] itshotinhere:
Can also confirm that using Richard Trips kernel sorted out the WiFi hotspot issue. I'm loving 7.9 so far. Wiped Dalvik using CMR and flashed the kernel ROM. Took all of 2 minutes ;-) No big deal. No doubt Neo will already be looking to sort it in the next release. Thanks Neo.
[Desire Android Development] versa-desire:
I flashed the v4 on 7.9 and the wifi hotspot works like a charm. Just played it last night :)
[Desire Android Development] versa-desire:
yes, ur guess it right, I flash v4 and 7.9 then the battery darin back to normal, though I use the setcpu instead the built-in cpu manager to select interactive govnor

But still have problem on slight virabtion problem, the vibration of 7.9 is very very light compare to 7.8 and other rom too
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I have suggested to Neophyte that we move toward a standard software development cycle - i.e. stable release / unstable release. Technically, this ROM should be released as a 'developers version' or for those who like the 'bleeding edge' with 7.8.1. maintained to be stable until this ROM became stable (bug free) too. We don't really need an update every few weeks, I think we would prefer fewer stable polished releases, agreed?

I'm happy to continue volunteering my time with the Wiki, perhaps some other people can step up and volunteer as testers for the development versions? Then we could have like the Linux kernel, even numbers for stable releases, odd numbers for development releases like 7.8 (stable) vs 7.9 (development).

How does this sound? This way it will relieve pressure on Neophyte and friends as well to fix things quickly, rather than properly, as the rest of us will have the stable version to stick with.

For example, I'd be happy to wait a few weeks before getting the Aura CPU manager while 'volunteer testers' give it a good thrashing to see if it's ok to move in to the 'stable' ROM series?

BTW Please remember to review the Wiki and help out, even if it's just a few simple formatting changes, it all adds up to make a polished Wiki that all the other ROM users will be super jealous of, and to free this thread (and Neophyte) up from repeated questions so Neophyte and friends can focus on forward development.
[Desire Android Development] :
It's best to reset battery status before flashing. ROM working great for me and excellent battery-stats. Thanks NEO!
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Compare to 7.8.1...

I tested with CurrentWidget after wipe stats both ROM, and ROM 7.8.1 is better for battery, and it is stable.

The ROM 7.9 is experimential ROM...
[Desire Android Development] dr_yousri:
thanks for your rom.

every thing is good except fc while sending sms with 7.8.1 and 7.9 versions.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
i need to add also, that besides using richard trip's kernel, i also remove the aura manager, because i use setcpu... and it seems, the aura manager conflicted with richard trip's kernel, causing it to hang.

After using trip kernel, + set cpu, the whole thing stabilizes and the battery is way way much more improves.. even surpasses 7.8.1 + richard trip kernel.
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
there is one strange thing...

i am using 7.9 version and out of curosity took backup and tried out defrost. and i was astonished to see that the photos taken from the camera app on defrost is giving much better photo quality??!!! almost as much as 30%

has this happened with you too?
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
I followed the advice of others users for the battery problems and so I flashed with Froyo Kernel V4 No Audiomod version, now the battery seems to feel better ... I'll let you know for my test.

Performance

:

@ 998 Mhz (AuraCPU) ==> 1220

@ 1133 Mhz (AuraCPU) ==> 1369

Perhaps in the futur update Neo will try to fix that problem :)

Regards.
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
been trying this 7.9 rom with Richard Trips kernel for a few days now and it all seems excellent. Best Rom I have tried to date now so far.

Anyone know if you can replace the lockscreen on this rom with the eclair curved one as shown here?

I am using lockbot pro alongside no lock to achieve this but would prefer to be able to have it without having to run extra apps.
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
How do You compare battery life to ROM 7.8.1?
[Desire Android Development] capone5:
i have 7.8.1 rom and my camera is very bad, whether it is the rom or something else?
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Okie... i dont know if it is from trip kernel, or v7.9 or combination of both, but using both, plus calibration & aura manager removal, i got the best.. really best battery life.. this is first time i see 1% battery use per three hours .. wow ..
[Desire Android Development] Padmiester:
Screenshots now attached to the original post. Can only attach 4 screenshots.

FYI. The calendar, mail. message and weather widgets are still transparent as well like in the original Aurax rom.
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
Hey there!

I like this rom very much, but one single question/problem i got.

I want to use this kind of horizontal lockbar, or what name ever it gotl with a wallpaper instead of transpareny.

Can anybody tell me if its possible? i serached some *.apk's but havent found any way.

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi how do you calibrate the battery please ? And do you use SetCPU instead of AuraCPUManager ?

Can you explain me how to remove AuraCPUManager please ?!
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
I calibrate using the method mentioned in this forum, charge full while on, turn off, charge full, wipe battery cache, then off again then charge.

I remove aura using root manager, then reboot.. i rely on setcpu now.
[Desire Android Development] fishke:
Thnx for this rom. Super!!!
[Desire Android Development] jayk32:
"Great Rom"

I've been trying out so many Roms, but i keep coming back 2 this Rom!! LOL :D

Great work Neo, keep it up. :cool:
[Desire Android Development] dadoef:
This build is realy the best ROM ever. Number 1 device when doing a Quadrant test. Thanks for the great ROM Neo.
[Desire Android Development] Ain_Soph:
WiFi N patches

Regarding those WiFi N patches, there are three of them in the first post. Which one should we use in order to retain max WiFi connectivity while screen is in sleep mode? What are their differencies?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Tequila98:
hi!

one question: which battery mod is in the first post at the left corner of the statusbar?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I flashed the WiFi N 7.7-7.8-7.8.1 zip, but after reboot wifi is giving me an error and cannot connect...
[Desire Android Development] BigMrB:
Rom manager wont successfully upgrade the rom.. anyone else had trouble?

Ill do it manually at the weekend i suppose...
[Desire Android Development] golaner:
htc calendar

i am using this rom for some time now, it is really a very good one, thanks to the developer.

i use htc calendar and have a lot of appointments, my problem is if i check my appointment in the future, lets say next week, and i enter the termin then use the back button it takes me automatically to TODAY, so i have to search again fo the date in the future and open the next appointment, i used opendesire for a while and there was the calendar from google which didnt have this problem is this a htc calendar problem? and can i fix it?

thanx for any reply
[Desire Android Development] cgorki:
I like that, it totally makes sense
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
We are trying to fix battery drain and to add bluetooth HID support, working on it.

For the hotspot you can flash this: http://neophyte.vipme.com/ftp/_Extras/2.6.32.15_v17.zip

or richardtrip's kernel.
[Desire Android Development] blunted09:
is the battery any better than 7.8.1? i find this version incredibly stable and im afraid to try the new one :)

btw, i saw something about battery drain issues but doesnt seem consistent between people...overrall consensus?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
This should be listed in the Wiki, did you check there?

Thanks, so you are volunteering as a tester or what? We really need more volunteers so Neophyte can continue to lead development while we provide support wherever we can. For now I have added two more sections in the Wiki on latest stable and experimental versions.

I will add this to the Wiki, thanks Neophyte, and I will also add a suggestion to use the 7.8.1. as the stable version, and the 7.9 as a development / experimental version. This will relieve the pressure to fix this quickly and hopefully allow more time to really dig in deep and fix things in your own time.

The 7.9 version is now regarded as experimental, with 7.8.1 the latest stable version.

Excellent suggestion, I will add this to the Wiki and credit you. All, in the future, please ensure tips like this are collected in the Wiki, I can't catch everything.

Edit - ok - I've updated the Wiki - can someone please check it.

Can everyone also please add the Wiki to the their signature so newbies see it.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
someone has tried recording in 720p if lags/freezes persist and if framerate is decent?
[Desire Android Development] Eldarik:
Have the same issue with full wipe.

HW-search key is working in every APP but not on home screen.

Voice search is working.
[Desire Android Development] Uqbar:
Hmmm ... I see it suggests for a non-latest RADIO firmware (5.09.05.30_2).

I'm running 5.10.05.23.

Should I downgrade or that's just a typo?
[Desire Android Development] kaneelias:
I have had to restore my 7.6.1 backup as i was getting force closes on the gallery. I tried fixing permission with Rom Manager and for some reason i lost a whole chunk of storage space internally once it completed. Think i may wait for the next release. Good work though
[Desire Android Development] Uqbar:
Doublecheck whether the /sdcard has been mounted or not.

From a local terminal run "mount". There should be a line saying something "sdcard" and "vfat".
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
So, how about the RADIO? :) Which exactly version?
[Desire Android Development] Darkmonster:
I have lags, when playing video 720p, captured in OpenDesire .28...:(
[Desire Android Development] jacobsu64:
I like your roms, but your version can not pre-view gmail attach word's file, can settle this problem?
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
:mad: but in recording there are freeze?
[Desire Android Development] SeaWaLK:
how long you guys take for first boot? I been at the white screen for half an hour.
[Desire Android Development] ops1977:
Espressomod black 2.2

Just installed the new version and installed the BrightSilence Black Espresso v2.2 - and it works great! Love the circle battery! I´m using the latest radio (32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14) and are about to calibrate the battery to see how the new version is performing.
[Desire Android Development] atesszan:
You need full wipe before flashing? Do you have ext3 partition?
[Desire Android Development] domina:
Could you ad Titan Backup to your rom, it would make the flashing alot easier.

/edit: and could you creat a hotfix for the bookmark error, that we dont need to flash a new rom?
[Desire Android Development] nicchio89:
Thank you neo for the new update. I have a question: what do I have to remove if I don't want the transparent notification bar and the transparent lockscreen? Thank you and have a nice day.
[Desire Android Development] alialqhtani:
good gob man....

keep cooking...
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Why SYSRW when we now have S-OFF?

Sent from my HDfied HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] SeaWaLK:
hey thanks... my ext3 partition was not done properly. It loads now.
[Desire Android Development] cearini:
I can't find nexus one photo gallery... I have only HTC Gallery! Any idea?

Just thinking the same.
[Desire Android Development] gonova:
FM Radio sound control problem

Hi Neo,

First of all, fabulous ROM!

But there are 2 problems with FM Radio sound control in the ROM:

1) When the FM Radio is running in background (while browsing website, etc.), the Volume +/- control cannot adjust the "Media Volume".

2) When the FM Radio is running and I want to make a phone call, no problem, it can switch the voice/sound to be phone conversation. However, after I finish the call and hang up, the ROM doesn't switch it back to FM Radio and actually turn the FM Radio off.

Please take care these issues as there is no problem in the official HTC ROM.

Thanks a lot for your effort so far.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Remember you're dealing with volunteers, like you. Please feel free to add a detailed and helpful bug report to the Wiki to be followed up.

Please familiarise yourself with alogcat, and enable logging for error level and above. When this happens, try to find the relevant error report in the log. I am not getting this problem and I am not aware of anyone else getting it either, so your bug report is .. well .. vague. More detail please.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
All - I want to restore the 'deleted apps' - in particular the Stocks widget. Do I just 'flash' the downloadable Zip from Recovery? I will add the instructions to the Wiki so this is the last time anyone will need to ask.

EDIT - I just downloaded to my dropbox download folder, it appeared on my phone, clicked on it, ROM Manager prompted me to backup and install (ALWAYS back up!).
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
Good Morning all!

Just some short questions....

For what are thoose one good? And is nextsense and Wifi N 7.7 same?

# WiFi N nextsense & 7.5.2

# WiFi N 7.4

# WiFi N 7.7-7.8-7.8.1

I tried Wifi N 7.7 but after i got stuck in botscreen.. :(

And may its a bug but i tried in the new v7.9 the Mobile wlan-hotspot and i got alway failture.

In version 7.8 it works perfect. :)

Regards

Silver
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
You download it as zip and install it with ROM Manager as a usal ROM. Thats all. :)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we had no idea until you came along. Also, please read the Wiki before posting any further questions, you may find some answers in there, such as this Wi-Fi hotspot bug that has been covered many times now (did you read any other posts or the first page in this thread at all?).
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Yep got it... tried in DropBox but aborted with error, file could not be found, I suppose because DropBox had not downloaded the file yet. Thankfully, of course, I took a backup first.

I have updated the Wiki with these instructions.
[Desire Android Development] Goldbaer:
Hey,

i got a problem installing this rom.

I have a empty sd card except the installation file. After wiping and installing i got the white htc start display for a short time. For the next steps there are a three possibilities:

1. the desire restarts several times. After the forth or fifth restart, the desire remains at the white htc start display.

2. the desire restarts only once an stays in the white htc start display for several minutes, that's it.

Both can only be stopped by removing the battery.

Am i too impatient, did i do something wrong or where is the problem?

Hope, someone can help me with this!
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
Morning again :)

Yes i read some sites, not all but some of them and saw that it was taken out cause batterylifetime and some bugs, but on the Wiki i was not yet, ill take a look there.

Thanks :cool:
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
Did you install with ROM Manager or from the Bootmenue? If with ROM Manager, Mark Clear Data and Cache and install. Same i would preefer in the Bootmenue.

And it takes some Time maybe you didnt wait enough, i would say, it can take up to 15-20 Minutes. So try again, im sure it works. :)
[Desire Android Development] Goldbaer:
I installed it from Bootmenue. And, how I said, i wiped everything. I will try it again and wait a longer time, let's see what will happen ;)
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
I've measured battery life in standby mode with Wi-Fi switched on for 7.6 and 7.8.1. Results are 0.6% per hour for the first vs. 1.6% per hour for the second, which is quite a degradation. And it seems, by reading this forum, that 7.9 is even worse. Fortunately, after flashing Richard Trip kernel I've got my 0.6% back under 7.8.1 :). So if the battery life is an issue for you, i recommend using 7.8.1 with Richard Trip kernel.
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Which excactly?
[Desire Android Development] zaviroshi:
Hi ^^ I just want to know that how to enable boot sound?

I like the "Droiiiiiiid" sound ^__^

Thank you so much!
[Desire Android Development] xlxl:
battery lost 100% over night!!! (8h!!!) without use the phone at all!!

(yes, i tried with richardt's kernel v4!!, but it didnt help!!) :(:(:(:(:(:(
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
Do you have an ext partition on the sd card?
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
Latest one - V4.

PS. I should note, that in all cases i use some "cleaning up" before flashing the ROM (by removing quite a lot of unneeded staff) so my results may differ from that on "stock AuraxTSense".
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Did You set any options in this kernel?
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
All working flawlessly here

using 7.9 with richards v4 kernal, very fast and smooth now.

Using Setcpu after deleting aura

themed using the uot kitchen

removed htc lockscreen and using no lock alongside lockbot pro to get nice lockscreens. (wish i could get a good lockscreen built into the rom though)

using folder organiser and launch-x (excellent apps)

added some sample shots below

Overall very very nice rom, did full data factory reset and cache wipes first.

Restored most apps with titanium (no system settings)

Restored email accounts with titanium (data only)

I have a 500mb ext 3 partition on an 8gb class 6 SD card.

PS:

If your wondering why the sun is out in the screenshot it's definatley not in my town of UK manchester, as usual it's p****g it down here, it's the weather where my girlfriends place is in Spain, Murcia region.
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
Nope. I've left it as it is. I've considered trying SetCPU, but there are much contraversal reports on this thing so i've decided not to spoil good by better.
[Desire Android Development] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
fantastic wallpaper, could you tell me where you got it?, thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
What is difference V4 between V4 noaudiomod?
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
No idea (well, I suppose it makes your device louder, but I'm not sure ;)). I've used "noaudiomod" version, because I've got no problems with audio. It's better ask in corresponding thread.
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
Hi, i downloaded it through the Lockbot Pro app.

The app has a whole load of different themes to get, and also all the different types of lockscreens available, froyo, eclair, ipod, sense etc etc.

I had to use the no lock app to disable the vanilla lockscreen or i was getting 2 lockscreens.
[Desire Android Development] jungoed:
same here , 83% before bed , wake up 6 hours later it was 22% :> with v4 kernel, switching to 7.8
[Desire Android Development] tomurbanowicz:
Run CurrentWidget and show logs.
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
Odd that

Mine lost about 5% last night over 8 hours. I have setcpu to lower it to 128000 when screen is off though.
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi, anybody use this tools ShootMe (Screen Grabber) because with this ROM it don't work...yet the root access is authorized.

Any idea ?

Edit: Ok now it's work good i have uninstalled it and then downloaded it again via the market and all works good !! Sorry for the mistake ^^
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
You are not helping. I left mine overnight with airplane mode on and it dropped by only a few percent, so you need to look at your own apps and do your own diagnosis. Come back when you've done at least some basic investigation of your own.

Yes worked fine, on 7.8.1, will try again though. Check your error level logs with alogcat.

Great stuff!! Thanks for doing all this work, can you add it to the Wiki? Or at least post some instructions here on how you did it and any 'side effects' we should be warned about? Any links?
[Desire Android Development] raze1000:
shootme works great on 7.9

as shown below, took these this morning.
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
There is really not very much to write about. I've been using "Battery Graph" to measure battery level drop over several hours (from 8 to 13, overnight) as well as to control that power consumption is monotonous. I've left Wi-Fi on for some applications (i.e. NewsRob) that downloading some staff periodically. For instance my last measurement yesterday (after flashing Richard Trip kernel) showed battery level drop from 89% to 81% over 13 hours. That's all.
[Desire Android Development] zaviroshi:
Can anyone please tell me how to enable boot sound please? TT_TT"
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
Yes of course, you have to copy your sound file in /data/local/ you will see the bootanimation.zip too ;)

There is some pictures from my phone with a great theme i hope you like it :)
[Desire Android Development] zaviroshi:
I already done this step ↓

--

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

adb reboot

--

but still no sound at all TT^TT"
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Can anyone enlighten us please...I've been asking this question before and not getting any answers...surely someone knows the differences and which one is best to use with version 7.9 :cool: It is definately not clear from reading the startpost.

Btw I flashed wifi N 7.7-7.8-7.8.1 on Rom version 7.9, but wifi won't work after...can't activate ("error").
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Feel free to write this up in the Wiki when you do find out eh? What you are using is an 'experimental' feature, so experiment away and document what you find. Contributions from people like you make the XDA community what it is today.

Fantastic stuff indeed... Do you have any links or instructions on how you did it that we can put up in the Wiki? I'm on 7.8.1 (latest stable release) although I am interested in giving this a go. Any extra or lost features in this kernel?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I get what you are saying, although it really isn't close to any answer to my (and the other poster's) question. I do experiment...a lot. Flashing a new custom rom each couple of days or so...and reporting back in each respective thread. I find your reply rather condescending as well...no need for that I would imagine :confused:
[Desire Android Development] xlxl:
u are not helping 2.

before i flashed 7.9 I only lost about 20-30% over night with the same configuration.

Now i lost abount 100% battery within 8-9 hours!!!!!!

I ONLY flashed the new version and DIDNT change any other setting, so it IS the KERNEL/ROM which sucks all the battery!!!!

and i am not only one, who had bad battery life after update now!!
[Desire Android Development] alomsdroid:
WIFI does not work

Hi

my wifi does not work after install this rom, it says error

any ideas? thanks
[Desire Android Development] r3v0Lut10n:
any way to disable shutter sound in camera ? (disabled in options but still ..)

the ONLY problem with the rom :) (no battery drain silk smooth @radio 5.11)
[Desire Android Development] dimcus:
Well, any info on the kernel is available on this forum in corresponding thread and there is no need to duplicate it here or in the wiki.
[Desire Android Development] liljom:
yeah yeah,

I almost woke up my 1,5 month old son
