If you are S-Off you can delete it from / system/ media/ audio/ UI it's the first file you need to delete... i think it's camera click.ogg....?

Off topic, but has this rom got the AOSP camera app or is it a different one?

Thanks

[Desire Android Development] Antubis:
With Oxygen HBOOT, you'll have to flash radios via fastboot since cache partition is too small.
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Many thanks!
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
Thanks mate!

But - how do I flash (a radio) via fastboot?

Thanks for help again!!
[Desire Android Development] renegade027:
Open the .zip file containing the radio update (the one you were trying to flash in recovery) Inside the archive, there should be a file called radio.img. Extract that to your ADB\tools folder. Then, in ADB:

adb reboot-bootloader

This should reboot your device into fastboot - white screen showing bootloader version, etc. Check:

fastboot devices

Should show your device is online, then:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

This is where fastboot will flash the file you extracted from the update.zip

There should be a progress bar on the phone showing how the radio update goes. Also on your computer, upon completion fastboot will give you feedback.

That's it.

fatboot reboot

http://alpharev.nl/

The alpharev.nl instructions are just before the FAQ section.
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
How often do you people get "/dev/pmem: no more pmem available" errors (the issue where the phone lags itself to death after 1 day or more) ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
never, I swear :D
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Never came across that
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Odd, because I just got it today, came from Oxygen, where it was the same. It's a well known bug that came with 2.3.3 ( http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15135 ).
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Never heard of or experienced it on any rom.
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
Thanks man! But somehow this doesn't work for me...!

The first command

./adb reboot-bootloader (I'm on a Mac terminal)

does work, my phone reboots to fastboot.

But I can't do anything else then.

fastboot devices

isn't working. And the rest - of course - isn't as well...

Help is very much appreciated!!

Cheers!

EDIT:

Got adb and fastboot working. But where do I have to put the radio.img?

fastboot says:

error: cannot load 'radio.img'

And, btw, where do I get the "official" fastboot file from?

EDIT 2:

Sorry guys, I was just too stupid... I was not in the directory where the radio.img was stored. Everything is working now.

Thanks for your patience!!
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
Do you recommend upgrading to these kernels?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
Yellow all !

Thanks to python and coutts to provide us a great great rom !

Got to trouble today... To freeze (oblige to remove the battery)

I'm currently on the test build and the HAVS...

I know it's normal with a test, but anyway, want to share with you !

(#joke Python doesn't want to dev on Galaxy S ? I'm gonna get one :D)
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Hi !

I still have the echo issue with latest coutts kernel :-(
[Desire Android Development] Antubis:
I've flashed echo fix zip from 2nd post in Oxygen thread, and it seems everything is fine now...
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Is there a setting to increase lowest brightness for automatic brightness in RC3? Because it's too dark to use in default.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
No sorry, I didn't focused on that.. but thanks for the reply, I'll add it in RC4 ;)
[Desire Android Development] JaymZ37:
Hey man ;) FrAndroid is down at the moment so I post here :)

Thanks a lot for this RC3, downloading it, and i'll flash it after :)

I'll post my review ASAP ;)
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Thanks a lot for your quick reply and attention :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's strange because for me, FrAndroid is working fine ;)

Waiting for your review :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
No problem, a ROM is nice when the author adds what users want ;)
[Desire Android Development] makedoc:
Downloading the R3 now, installing in a moment.

Thx

Update

Working very nice
[Desire Android Development] jellyb:
thanks for using flashable zips for a2sd, it is nice to keep addons separate so that the main rom will be light for users who dont need those mods :D
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Just to be clear : App2SD is not my priority for now...

And RC4 should come with some fixes and maybe new features (I let you suggest) on Sunday or on Monday :)
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
So no a2sd until Sunday/Monday, or no A2sd integrated in ROM? :) btw great work!!
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Using RC3, it's great! It's smoothest Gingerbread(like Oxygen RC5, not RC6). Only bad thing is that the some of UI components looks like 8 bit Gifs. Like these:

Can it be fixed without losing that smoothness? If it's all about images I can help you about that if you want.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
No A2SD until the next week ;) If some of you need it, I'll include it ;)

But you can try to flash a "classic" A2SD zip, it should work because Amethyst supports init.d startup scripts :) (perform a nandroid backup before, just to be sure)
[Desire Android Development] umd:
I recommend you to use Oxygen HBOOT. It gives you large amount of data storage(about 330 MB. If you don't have 100+ apps, it's enough I think).
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I've no idea..is there this issue on Oxygen or CM ?

You know, display drivers have not been updated yet, so this smoothness is due to a hack from cyanogen..you should not except hight quality graphics until Google releases an OTA for the Nexus One ;)
[Desire Android Development] umd:
There was on Oxygen RC5 but AdamG's got back to high quality framework on RC6. Except this little issue, graphics are very good. Thanks for your hard work :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
I'll try to include this fix in RC4 :D if it's possible
[Desire Android Development] SebHTCHero:
Thanks a lot for this ! I think that'll be my new rom for a while, it's almost perfect. My problems from most important to "don't care":

- Can't find GTalk in the market, what's up with that :confused:

- Auto brightness not working

- Shutter sound is really loud or silent, it doesn't seem to respect any volume setting

- Doesn't wake up with the home button (I realize that is not a stock Android functionnality, but it's nice to have)

- French translation problem, probably straight from Google: Dans Applications->Gérer les applications, en bas de l'écran à droite, ils ont traduit "Free" par "Gratuit", sympa pour de la mémoire :D
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Yeah, but if I decide to go on Sense :o someday, I must again flash HBOOT..

I can wait, ofc :)
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
But in Oxygen in new update, scrolling is not so smooth.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Yes, I saw that x) (translation issue..)

And for GTalk, I will include it if you need it..I don't think it's available on the Market.
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
thanks, but I still have the echo
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
I'm having lag in messages app and i've noticed this when i had conversations with 100+ messages, is this normal ? The phone freezes for 2 or 3 seconds after writing, then i press send it freezes for another 2 seconds.

Any thoughts ?

Amethyst 1.10

.38 kernel from couts ( havs )
[Desire Android Development] proxuser:
Best ginger rom for me. battery life is best. fast & clean!

i don't got any issue, error and reboot using this rom.
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Can someone test this for me using the 1.10 test rom.

- On your keyboard input language choose none. Send some messages and if you get errors or lag reply on this.
[Desire Android Development] mugey:
tested 1.0 yesterday. Facebook connects to the internet, but Foursquare and Twitter doesn't. Opening the market app just returns me to the homescreen. I don't know what's causing this :(
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
i just wonder and curious, what do you guys means by 'Clean ROM'?
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Like an official Google rom. Nandroid backup and test it. You will not regret it.
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
Meaning, other AOSP rom also clean rom right?
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
milestone arrived :)

one hundred thread pages for this wonderful ROM
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
very well... so happy for developer & us too :p

still the best (& cleanest) rom here around, working hard & perfect from day 0 :cool:

jokes apart running latest (1.0.1) with latest vorkkernel (.37.3) from 4 days without rebooting... really impressed :D
[Desire Android Development] prosciutboy:
Fast and light ROM with great battery life

I tried a lots of ROMs and kernel looking for the lightest ROM with lower consumption. For my tests I proceed with the following steps:

- Wipe everything

- flash ROM

- install just Battery Widget Monitor, and change settings to update battery data every minute (instead of 5min) in a file on SDcard.

- Then I let the phone in idle, in a predefined configuration (GSM only)

- I get the mA values from the file and calculate the average during that time.

Note that this widget is really great and have a really low impact on consumption.

Up to now I hadn't find any ROMs with better consumption that my original HTC Sense Froyo ROM (really strange), but today I flashed Amethyst 1.0 !

I get a -5,53 mA in idle with GSM only, whick is good for my phone.

This value is a lot better than CyanogenMod RC2 and GingerVillain 1.5, and a little bit better than with Oxygen 1.0.1, it is the same value I obtained with HTC Sense Froyo.

From my tests the 2 most stable AOSP ROMs are Oxygen and Amethyst with an advantage for Amethyst on battery consumption side, but I have to admit I haven't fully tested it (actually I tested only the 1.0 one with vorkkernel).

My next step is to test Amethyst 1.0.1 with coutts kernel and then try the latest vorkkernel (.37.3) as suiller adviced (guys, Suiller provides always good advices).

Now I have 2 stupid question:

1- Is this ROM GRI54 or GRI40 ? I am asking this because in build prop I can see

ro.build.id=GRI54

ro.build.display.id=GRI40

That is why in about phone is displayed GRI40.

2- Amethyst and Oxygen seems really close in terms of functionality, for you what are the differences and why did you choose this ROM ?

Thanks in advance for your answers !
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
I've experienced echo once, it was quite annoying, but not sure what can cause it or any remedy?

Other than that the phone is remarkably stable and very fast.
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Would like to know that too, its the only thing that stops me from using this ROm:(
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
1 the ROM is GRI40.

2 I personally prefer coutts kernel builtin and a few things like trackball wakeup and unlock.

I never had echo, but my provider is 3G only, maybe this makes a. difference.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
here too... three is the magic numbeeeer :D
[Desire Android Development] darni:
So is this ROM dead now? Since Renan bought nexus s.

madone via Tapatalk (Amethyst 1.0)
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
I was wondering too, I've asked Renan some days ago, but received no answer yet
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
After adamg, now renan. I don't want to use redux or gingervillain :/
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
why no redux?
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
Got trouble with gps and bootloop :s bad expérience ;)
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
AdamG is still developing Oxygen:

And what's wrong with Redux or GV?
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
the problem should be fixed in the latest release of redux

anyway, in my opinion, amethyst is the best rom I've tried so far (but I've not tried redux yet)

but I suffer amethyst echo issue :(

so probably I will change rom the next week
[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
link to download rom is not working. any mirror?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
You can find Amethyst 1.0.1 here: link
[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
Thanks man!

Could you tell me, for this rom can i use hboot from alpharev for oxygen?

EDIT: found it
[Desire Android Development] shawe_ewahs:
How do you make de otapackage? I'm trying to do it, but on "make" only generate the image files and "make otapackage" don't work.
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
make -jx otapackage

x=2*(no. of cores), if you have core 2 duo, then x=4
[Desire Android Development] moemitf:
Hi guys!

The only reason that keeps me from switching to gingerbread is that none of the roms I tried a couple of months ago supported 720p video playback (I'm not talking about 720p camera recording, I don't care about that). With Froyo sense and aosp roms you can watch .mp4 HD vids and they run perfectly smooth. On GB roms it only says that it's not supported.

Why is that?

Can anyone tell me if on Amethist it works?

Thank u!
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
new amethyst Coutts kernel is out :)

[Desire Android Development] Vuska:
Hi... i just trying to change ROM to Amethyst 1.01... Full Wipe, but Market not working.... Sometimes i can get into Market but when i click "MyApps" then it Force Closes.

Already try update to latest market or replace Vending.apk with new one, also same Error occure...

Need some help on this... :(

Thank You
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Is anything happening with Amethyst now?

The first post hasn't even been updated to 1.01...
[Desire Android Development] shawe_ewahs:
Read the bold text on my previous message :p if "make otapackage" don't work, also don't work "make -jX otapackage" ;) for this reason I do the question.
[Desire Android Development] shawe_ewahs:
Solved but I don't know why, maybe because I do a "make" and later a "make otapackage"?
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
abandoned ROM? :(
[Desire Android Development] Sordep:
yes, I GUESS:(.
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
So sad because this rom is dead. Makes me wanna sell my phone. After flashing all that 2.3 crappy roms i've found here none matches this one. Still using it ! 1.0.1
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
it was almost perfect gingerbread
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Hey guys ! (:

As you know, I've sold my Desire and don't have a device to try the ROM anymore.. :/

But when I have time, I'll update Amethyst but I need you to test !

If you're OK, just let me know :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
I was just about to drop the kernel. I'll keep it updated :)
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Post the rom and i think the people here who know how good your work is will test it out and report the bug's. If they don't i will.
[Desire Android Development] Mystenes:
You can count on me, i will test each release.
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
If you could just try and fix the few bugs Amethyst has at the moment, then I'd be happy with it :)
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
thanks :)

I'm ready to test :)

anyway the only bug I've found so far in the latest build is the echo in GSM phone calls
[Desire Android Development] Mystenes:
I'm testing Amethyst 1.0.1 from few days now. I have only one FC! related to app that was updated yesterday because of that FC's. So nothing connected to ROM!

Rocksolid ROM, very fast SDCard reading's/writings

Below is a screenshot from my SDCard Class10 tests performed in amethyst.

In comparison, same phone and card tested on Oxygen had 50% slower write and read speed.

Is Amethyst worth of development?
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Of course! Best 2.3 rom you will find on this forum, But master python bought the nexus S and he will be busy on it, so he won't be so much active on Amethyst ( and he sold his desire, so we've to test it ourselves ).
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Keep the test builds coming, Python and Coutts - your audience is ready :D

edit: Coutts, I'm intrigued by the new folder called aosp-2.6.39 ;)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Compiles but doesn't boot, need some more time on it :)
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
I know this is not tread for it but your last Cfs kernel 2.6.37 gives wifi error. Its all fine when I switch wifi drivers from bfs.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Thanks, ill take a look tomorrow
[Desire Android Development] mondilv:
You need use the same kernel as the best way.

When modules compiled at another kernel (or name of the kernel is different) could be trouble.
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
I've been using 1.0.1 for a while now, but been experimenting with coutts different kernels. Right now I've been using 2.6.38.2 SVS CFS, which is giving me an awesome uptime. Been back and forth with .37 as well, but .38 seems to be the winner =)
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Im having the echo issue with .38 kernel :S
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
I'm using coutts 2.6.38.2 HAVS BFS, great battery life too :)

not sure about echo issue anymore, since I do not use the Desire a lot for GSM phone calls.

I use it a lot for VOIP internet calling and there is no echo at all :)
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Has anyone experienced echo in .37 kernel ?
[Desire Android Development] Faryaab:
How can i sync my device with outlook from this device?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Not been on .37 in a while, just updated to the latest .38 build dated 5th of April. Also updated the radio today, so hopefully there won't be any echo issues (though it isn't echo in every call).

Not sure if you've found a way, but found this article over at PCmag http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2382337,00.asp - some of the comments recommends gsyncit.
[Desire Android Development] Faryaab:
Does this rom support 720p recording? Which kernel is the best to use with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
It does not support 720p, since N1 update didnt came with it.

Im using coutts latest one and i haven't found any problem yet.
[Desire Android Development] mugey:
2nd time to test Amethyst and same thing happened to my 1st test. At first GPS and background data is working fine and then after a few days it will stop whether using wifi or data. GPS cannot determine my location while background data cannot sync contacts, mail and calender to my gmail account. Do not know what is causing this since it suddenly stops. Other than that that, everything works smoothly. Any help?
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Well i've used Ndrive for a while and i havent had any problem. So you can try change the kernel or w8 for a coutts response since this is a kernel issue probably.
[Desire Android Development] mugey:
hmmm, what kernel would you suggest? :)
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
I've been running Coutts 2.6.38 kernel and it really is impressive. Link in signature.
[Desire Android Development] mugey:
Thank you! Will give it a shot.
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
This rom + .38 kernel + Launcher Pro

And make a speed test with your friends iphone 4

This rom haven't received any update later but it still tops everything else. Thanks Coutts and Phyton.
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Btw im using the new Radio from Leaked GB Rom and i haven't found any issue.
[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
Yes, new Radio is very good. It looks like better battery life.. if that matters :)
[Desire Android Development] pinttas:
This Rom have Portuguese language?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
It has Portuguese language, but no dictionary.

Btw, still love this ROM. Pretty much perfected my homescreen:
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
I'm on

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
How does this a2sd here work? I formatted ext4 partition, and though it somewhat decreased as I restored my apps, I have only 49mb internal available.

Edit: solved, yeah it is only a2sd, and I am spoiled by a2sd+ :(

Here is a quote from Oxygen's thread if anyone finds it interesting. Anyone tried forking data2sd with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] Nuntius:
I can't agree more...

With this latest radio (hosted by LeeDroid, thanks), everything rocks:

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

MD5 # 03cd7972412bec4b4ed6f2699e4c9af0
[Desire Android Development] finran:
everything fine except...

... loud area noise at the call reciever. I'm running 1.01 with .38 coutts kernel (which definitly rocks in battery life). Everything is running really really fast and well... just the area noise seems to be too loud :/ anyone got a solution for this?

radio is latest gb used in the new sense stock gb leak (5.17.05.08).

[Desire Android Development] sashajovicic:
changelog?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
With the new radio, i often get FC at the camera app, i downgraded back to 5.14 and its fine:)
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Changelog please? I must give kudos to you for making such a great and stable rom which I will probably stick with for some time now. Only one minor issue I experienced, that it opens my mobile network settings when I hit end call button. Otherwise, this with coutts kernel 32.8 is pure awesomeness. I am very sorry you left our community python :(
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Thank you for still setting us up with a test ROM - appreciate it.

I've been running the test ROM since release, but one thing make me change back soon. I can't access the memory card no matter what I do. Through the settings menu I can unmount/mount it, but when I try to explore it, it says not available or not mounted. Strange thing is that Titanium Backup can pull backups off the card but browsing it is not an option. Anybody else seen this? I did full wipes when installing.

Other than that the ROM feels snappy and battery life seems good.

Edit: about not reading the memory card it was an error on my part, so pardon that. So far it's actually working very well :)
[Desire Android Development] jannnnn:
When we can expect final 2.3.4 ?
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Afaik, the developer has bought a nexus s, so not too soon I fear
[Desire Android Development] stfone:
Right he bought a Nexus S but didn't give up Amethyst for Desire development. Read his last tweet at http://twitter.com/#!/renandroid

"Amethyst will be updtated to 2.3.4 in a few days. A test version for the Desire will be available."
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Amethyst 2 is out :D

Can you post the changelog?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's not Amethyst 2.0 yet. This is a test build which fits to Oxygen Hboot table and has all the features from Amethyst for the Nexus S. The only thing which id missing is menu wake and trackpad unlock. I still don't know if trackpad wake is working. Could someone test that for me ?
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Trackball wake is working. But no wifi connection (still in searching ip)

thx python
[Desire Android Development] oudbrood:
Same issue with wifi connection
[Desire Android Development] Mystenes:
Doesnt fit on Oxygen HBOOT
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Is there any problems like Oxygen has with the Oyxgen table and PVT4 Desires?
