Thx 4 answer.. yes I did wipe data/factory & wipe cache partition before I flashed(hope it's all that shoud be done) I made all neccessary settings for Exchange account and all seems fine, just nothing gets sync (no contact,calendar or emails..)

It's only thing that stops me from keeping this ROM for daily use.. Will give it try with this updated version NOW :)

Edit: tested, no luck for me with Exchange :(

is this wwe? have spañish on it? thanks

What is that widget in the first screenshot on the starting post?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's Plume widget. Plume is available for free in the market but to get this widget, you have to buy Plume premium ;)

Anyone else having WIFI issues with this ROM [RC7] / Latest Radio?

I can see my SSID but can't connect, I enter the key (WPA2) and it just appears to do nothing....
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
I'm connected to wpa2 ssid right now

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Desire Android Development] heriarias:
Great ROM!!!

Thanks for the new release!!!, all working perfect but the fm radio is not working for me. Anyone with this bug??
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Any chance you can get a logcat or something?

I don't have my headphones with me to try it
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
here working perfect too :cool:
[Desire Android Development] :
It's odd... I enter the key, click 'Connect' and it just does nothing.... Same SSID used to work fine on LeeDroid so I know it's not the router.

Odd, i'll do some more playing...
[Desire Android Development] :
Eek... User Error! I copied the key out of GMail and it put a space in the middle of it! Connected fine now.... I'll get my coat.....
[Desire Android Development] SebHTCHero:
Great to have you back :D

I wonder, you released a lot of test builds, but there hasn't been a RC for a while. Will you release RC8 or your ROMs are all "test builds" from now on ?

Secondly, do you know if we will get android 2.3.3 any time soon ? Is the AOSP source regularly updated by Google ?

I guess I'm just asking for a roadmap :p
[Desire Android Development] darkyannick:
Welcome Home my friend ;)

Will you use the release Aosp 2.3.3 that google just released ?
[Desire Android Development] edkis:
Screen rotation not working after some time. Has someone a similar problem ?
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
Let me say this first - this is a GREAT ROM - I've been on the RC7 for a few days - and now - on the test build with the .38 kernel....not a single crash/freeze/slowdown, etc. I love this project.

Wishlist:

Lockscreen music controls - Not that I'm missing Sense UI that much

Torch in the pulldown menu controls - this could eliminate the need for having a (free) app that does just that

Redux-like kernel tweaks in Settings - also could be nice - i.e min/max CPU frequencies, governors, UV settings...

All those would not increase the ROM size by even 1 meg.

Here's a list of system apps this ROM would boot without (in case someone cares):

Browser.apk - in case one doesn't use the stock one

Calculator.apk - same

Email.apk - I believe lots of people do not sync with work accounts

FM.apk - just used the radio once on the stock ROM many months ago and was not impressed

Gallery3D.apk - some folks prefer (much faster/smaller/feature packed) alternatives, but be aware that with this app missing Launcher Pro refuses to assign custom icons to shortcuts

Geniewidget.apk - much better news/weather implementations are out there

LatinIME.apk and LatinIMETutorial.apk - as much as the Gingerbread keyboard is aesthetically pleasing and darker colours help with battery life esp on AMOLED devices, HTCIME_Mod by Jonasl is customizable in every which way imaginable and, in general, if one uses IME alternatives - these two are about 3.5MB and can safely go.

LiveWallpapers.apk and Live WallpapersPicker.apk - if you use a dark background wall paper to save battery, these two can go.

Launcher2.apk - same thing.

Mms.apk

stk.apk

All this and purging unused ringtones/notification sounds etc. brings the /system partition to just under 70 Mb

All Google apps work great from /system/app as well as some large stuff such as RockPlayer - so this is usable space.
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
Yeah, happened once on RC7 - reboot fixes it :) hasn't happened on the test build.
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
thanks a lot

it's really a nice ROM, fast, clean and smooth. exactly the ROM I was looking for :)

is there a CPU frequency governor active? or should I install SET CPU or CPU Tuner

thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] :
Trackpad wake works fine. Just enable it under 'accessiblity' settings....
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
Thanks a lot - did not notice that:-) wishlist edited.
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
On test build, wifi working fine both with WPA/2 and WEP.
[Desire Android Development] hejhej.ac:
Using the latest test build and its working great! But i don't like the new icons in statusbar, they have the wrong green color compared to the other green icons in the statusbar.
[Desire Android Development] Sylde:
What's the point putting an highly recent kernel (so unstable because they take about 10 rc's to kinda stabilize it) ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
because newer, in theory, is better than older :D

anyway .38 is very stable, at least for me, using from several days & didn't report a single FC or forced reboot

99% of issues here around reported are related to misconfigurations or 3rd part app, so the kernel isn't the guilty :cool:
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
+1

This kernel is very stable

Anyone know of a working genie widget (news and weather) for Gingerbread?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Apart from rendering the camcorder not functional and breaking USB tethering, I find 2.6.38-rc4 stable as well. :D

Two things I personally never use so haven't noticed :)

Thanks I'll have a look into them :)

[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Screen rotation thing? I've never come across it
[Desire Android Development] bradysoft:
thanks

thankyou will give it a try
[Desire Android Development] edkis:
Yes screen rotation. I'm trying other ROMs and problem is still. After some time screen rotation not working.
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
Hi there - great to see you back in action Python08 - excellent!! :-)

Been trying latest build and it's stable as a rock, however, I've tried about 6 different kernels with it and I just can't get it running anywhere even close to as fast and smooth as the test build from Jan 29th :-( I guessing it has more to do with my phone/setup than the ROM itself, or has anything significant altered in the coding that would make such a huge difference?

Not talking benchmark figures here or anything, it just feels really sluggish and laggy in comparison - full wipes every time in case there was a conflict but to no avail.

Not that it matters - Jan 29th test build is the most amazing rom i've ever used so it'll be staying on phone for some time lol :-)
[Desire Android Development] tasty_boy:
someone can post a defaul stock kernel????

im so fu**ing tired of install kernels everyday!!

please!!!!
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Yesterday test build : http://doctype-ik.com/roms/test/update-amethyst-test-02112011-signed.zip

Only updated kernel.
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
Work perfect for me. Thx
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
sincerely I hope you still will work actively on your rom... simply because is the less bloated :D
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Just updated to the update-amethyst-test-02112011-signed.zip and running without problems so far I've tested :)

I'm still grateful for the continued work on this superb ROM :D
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
man. great rom.

i know you want to keep it stock but please add tmobile theme manager and option for black mms. that woudnt bloat rom too much, and its great addon
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
I did not try, but could you try to push theme manager to rom via adb or root explorer?
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
tried to push ThemeChooser.apk and thememanager.apk but it just force closes. there must be some other lib or something required
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
thanks a lot for your work
[Desire Android Development] woqii:
thank you so much for your continued work on this rom! :)
[Desire Android Development] Redgoblin:
Thanks for a really nice rom!!
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Battery is amazing with latest test build! @python08 could you implement this :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917377 :)
[Desire Android Development] derhannes1983:
Yesterday, my Desire suddenly restarted with the ROM installed. I had the Bootscreen in a bootloop, then I pulled out the battery. After restarting the system (which worked flawless), all my data and apps was gone...

Can you maybe explain what happened? The SD card isn't damaged.
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
As far as i know it's an AOSP bug, very rare and happens infrequently thanks god
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
this rom is really near to perfection... in fact is the only rom that remains stable with undervolted kernel at 825mV

I tried almost every AOSP rom here around & this one is the less bloated, very good work ;)

It should have just led torch enabled in status bar + cpu speed/governor in "settings" to satisfy every needs :cool:
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Could you please add Dutch dictionary too? Great piece off work!

Does anyone have any problems with LED Notifications when using Handcent? Mine do not work. This is my first gingerbread rom so maybe it's an issue with gingerbread and not this rom specifically? (i wiped everything before installing)

I have searched google and a few people have had this issue, some have not noticed because a handcent update mean that it only shows the LED flashing when the screen is off, but mine does not flash when the screen is off either.

Others mentioned trying a different kernel. I used the one in RC7 as well as the kernel from RC6 but no luck with either.

..apart from that this rom seems to be excellent. thanks for all the hard work. :)
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
After coutts99 suggested to use the app Multi Mount SD Card instead, I haven't testet without it. It's a brilliant :D
[Desire Android Development] js931:

oxygen hboot

Hey guys!

Could please anyone give me a hint where to look for instructions on how to apply oxygen hboot? I can't find any manual or instruction on how to do that, and I would love to use the Bravo Oxygen HBOOT.

Thanks in advance!

btw: This is just the best ROM out there!! I love it!
[Desire Android Development] python08:
New test build : http://doctype-ik.com/roms/test/update-amethyst-test-02142011-signed.zip

[Desire Android Development] woqii:
just put this on. Looks good as usual so far :)
[Desire Android Development] Lexxi:
so, all i have to do is:

1: fastboot flash bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img

2: fastboot reboot-bootloader

3: fastboot erase cache

4: Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

if i want to use Bravo N1Table?

just want to make sure bc i found additional steps on the cyanogenmod forums:

5: Fix system dalvik cache position:

* adb shell

* mount /system

* sed -i /dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1/d /system/build.prop

* umount /system

6: cleanup old cache files:

* adb shell

* mount /data

* rm /data/dalvik-cache/system*

* umount /data

7: Reboot

thx in advance
[Desire Android Development] bigga29:
Great

I am Using this Rom since last night and I can say that is a very good Rom I also Use Redux and Booth are very good.

Onething How can i get the feature where I pull down the notification bar and I have the ability to turn wifi on,gps,set vibration or sound,etc ??? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] python08:
You can enable this feature under Display Settings.
[Desire Android Development] bigga29:
Thanks for your response already enable this feature again great rom. Is there a way to sync contacts with Facebook.
[Desire Android Development] js931:
www.alpharev.nl

First you have to make your phone "S-OFF" (there is a utility on the website), then you can use the oxygen table with amethyst rom (much more space for apps!).
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
1.Install FB app from market (if you haven't already)

2.Add FB under 'Acounts and Sync'

Hopefully you should be able to see your facebook contacts too. If this doesn't work - i.e you tap on FB, but nothing happens, let me know, and I'll walk you through an alternative procedure :)
[Desire Android Development] bigga29:
Thanks again issue resolved,great Rom.
[Desire Android Development] karakal:
Somehow after trying to add FB-Account I just return to 'Accounts and Sync' without being able to add a fb-account. Someone else this problem??
[Desire Android Development] Bhups:
Yep me!

But this has been the case with all 2.3 roms i tried.
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
I also have a yahoo and a skype account, so when the FB account setup did not work, I continued with the other two - they logged in all right. Then I came back to FB to try once again and it worked.

I think it's an issue with the FB app and not with gingerbread - happens with other handsets on 2.2
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Great ROM. First ROM I've ever flashed. I've rooted, but always stuck with the stock Sense ROM. Tonight I thought I'd push the boat out and do S-Off and flash a 2.3 ROM :)

I do miss pressing the home key and have all the desktops opening up though.
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Have you enabled sync in the Facebook app settings?
[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
Very strange problem which is driving me nuts

I've tried using two different Gingerbread ROMs with two different radios and I can't seem to

1) Get Facebook to work properly

2) Upload photos with Twitter or picplz

I'm actually downloading LeeDroid for the first time hoping to solve this issue. That;s how desperate I am.

I'm currently using RC7 and .05.17

Otherwise looks like a superb ROM with minimal bloat :)
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
I have modified script inside etc/unit.d to move davlik-cache to sdcart.

Anybody know why it's not activated officially?
[Desire Android Development] adamneilwilson:
Just flashed the new test build seems pretty solid and fast. Keep up the great work!
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I'd like to share with you... my "colleagues" my actual & preferred setup :rolleyes:

of course latest Amethyst rom :D (I like in particular due the fact is less bloated & permits to install fresh app from market such as voice search/youtube/etc...)

latest .38 kernel from coutts, undervolted upon my needs (from 800 to 1300mV)

OS Monitor (from market) to drive under/overclock (from 245 to 1113)

no other 3rd part app

, such as setcpu, task killer or memory managers

wish lists:

led torch enabled on notify bar (like in other roms, very fast when needed)

quiet hours (very useful)

remove some integrated google packages such as maps, we can find always the freshest version directly from market

with this configuration I have an ultra smooth ginger rom + very good battery life and above all not one FC or reboot (I read also nightly reboots :eek: )

note: I read that someone has encountered FC with youtube or other google apps after a rom upgrade, simply erase all data from settings => application list => erase data, then deinstall => install again ;)
[Desire Android Development] couto607:
I'm getting some issues with this ROM. This is the first ROM I've ever flashed on my phone and it works fine for a couple of hours, but then alot of my apps just disappear and are no longer installed on my phone, including the Market App.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
I can think your SD card is not mounted or not working properly. Try reboot. Or check if the card is fitted correctly.
[Desire Android Development] couto607:
Its not an issue with the SD card as a couple of apps which are on it are still able to run. I've also flashed another rom which appears to be working fine. I think the issue might be with this rom itself
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Silly question,the google account is still there? Apps are linked to it. You can try to remove it and enter again,
[Desire Android Development] Lexxi:
python08, could you plz help me here.

do i have to Fix system dalvik cache position or do i only have to follow steps 1-4?

thx in advance

I'm not an expert but it worked for me without steps 5 to 7.

RC8 [very little update] :

- 2.6.37 kernel (not 2.6.38 for now)

- Updated statusbar power widget icons

- Added flashlight in status bar power widget

- Some fixes from AOSP

- Fixed lights (thanks to _thalamus)

http://doctype-ik.com/roms/update-amethyst-RC8-signed.zip

MD5 : 5998baa11c239adb3b4d7f1c30e98f66
[Desire Android Development] adamneilwilson:
Just flashed the rc8 from last test version and this feels pretty laggy compared to the test version or rc7
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Updated from last test build to RC8, did a full format of the memory card as well.

It runs nicely but as adamneilwilson says, it feels laggy in some parts. Like when pressing the power button for reboot, and selecting reboot, the animation is laggy. Not sure what is the cause of this but testing is testing, right?

But overall liking RC8 so far :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
RC8 is less smooth than test builds because it's running 2.6.37 kernel instead of 2.6.38
[Desire Android Development] etique57:
Grew tired of MIUI.

Gladly back on a Gingerbread AOSP experience. Amethyst RC7 works beautifully (flashed the latest radio though).

Thanks for the effort!
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Thanks, didnt know it made that kind of difference.. thanks for the updates tho!
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
For those on RC8 with lag, try this -:

http://mirror.couttstech.com/androi...tech-2.6.38_OC1190_SVS_Ginger_CFS_VR_SLQB.zip

Flash in recovery, it's basically the same kernel Amethyst normally comes with, apologies for my **** up which made 2.6.37 come in this release :)
[Desire Android Development] derhannes1983:
Last time I used this ROM it rebooted after 2 days of usage and got in a bootloop. I pulled out the battery and turned it on again, and after the system had loaded, my apps were gone. Is this an error or something with my phone?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
in fact I installed .38 & didn't noticed any performance diff compared to latest test build :D

anyway thank you for adding fash light support into the notify bar (now I have no more the "hole")

for quiet hours I found a very nice & simple app in the market

try to keep the rom the less bloated is possible, me & many friends chosen this rom also for this simple reason, latest ginger roms are almost equal (oxygen, redux, yours, etc...) so many of us are looking for light & highly customizable roms... & till now your is the cleanest :cool:

EDIT: aargh! I still notice that your wifi.supplicant_scan_interval is every 15s... believe it or not 60 is enough & push 3 times less per minute :)
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
So this RC8 comes with notification drawer controls? I don't dig such solutions since I prefer less clutter in notification drawer.
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
It comes with it disabled, but has the option to enable it under the Display options.

Just installed the kernel you provider, coutts99. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Right, I forgot I disabled it :D

Anyone care to share how to work with automatic backlight settings or share their settings? Any more battery juice could be squeezed by this?
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
Where do you find those? I also think that 15 sec. is a waste of battery. Is there a setting for transmit power somewhere too?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
adb pull /system/build.prop

then edit it & change the value from 15 to whateveryouwant

adb push build.prop /system
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Just got two random wifi dropouts. Anyone know which ril is in this rom?
[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
This is AOSP so I believe RILs are irrelevant. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
This is what op of the ril thread says, but I'd appreciate more input.
[Desire Android Development] adamneilwilson:
Thanks coutts99 that seems to have improved performance.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
here perfect wifi reception at office & home, so... at least for me there is no issue with wifi :D
[Desire Android Development] bedeabc:
The only times I've flashed RILs on AOSP things have ended badly.

But yes I'm interested to hear others' experiences. G/E/UMTS/HSDPA switching is far slower and less reliable than it should be on my Desire so I'm always keen to hear if there's room for improvement.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Had no issues since, and I was intensively using my phone for the last couple of hours.

Also, something strange happened, my battery was near dead and I went to get my charger, and in the very same moment the phone started turning off. I plugged it in regardless before it went off and it started to act like it was in a bootloop, it wouldn't neither go off nor on. I manually rebooted it, phone came on,booted normally, but my apps and Widgets on homescreens were gone. I rebooted (turned the phone off, reboot menu is not very nice to filesystem integrity) again and the apps came back, but I had to set my homescreens again.

Was this that aosp issue everyone keeps talking about? Do we know what induces this?
[Desire Android Development] Gundam00qan:
Is CM7 Hboot compatible with this? What about Oxygen?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Both are compatible
