Well im using the test build kernel and im not having battery issues 1d 2h 29m 11s with 50% battery. Today i didn't used my phone that much, only to play a few games. But with normal usage i get 2 solid days on battery :)
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Well my battery drained from 50 to 0 while i was sleeping. Guess im going back to .38 HAVS kernel.
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Install the app named "where's my Droid power" and check which app or apps eats so much battery.

python08 How's the progress on the Amethyst 1.0 ? :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
It's ready..but unfortunately, coutts kernel breaks camera when using updated libs :(
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Yeah, just stick with vork for now until I get time to have a proper look at it.
[Desire Android Development] Fancois:
@python & @coutts courage dudes ! You can do it
[Desire Android Development] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
i ve never tried your rom b4 but am truely intereswted. does this rom compare to oxygen in the speed category?
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
This is a Native Gingerbread Rom, and it's great! I've tested all of the 2.3 roms and this is by far the best but some people like the oxygen stuff. If you love google native roms this is your best choice.
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Amethyst 1.0 is already baked but I'll be able to upload the zip only in a few days..

Sorry & good night guys :)
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Looking forward to it :)

Shame to hear about coutts's kernel having problems, hope that gets sorted.

Bravo Oxygen HBOOT

Hey guys!

Anyone of you using the Bravo Oxygen HBOOT with Amethyst? Working fine?

My Desire is S-OFF yet, but I don't know how to flash or whatever the HBOOT. Anyone a good, short instruction on how to do that?

I would like to be well prepared for Amethyst 1.0!!

Pretty much looking forward to it! And python08/@renandroid says he's loving it...!!

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
I'm using oxygen hboot, it works like a charm ;-D
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Update:

Amethyst 1.0 is online :D Changelog is in the fisrt post, as usual. Hope you'll like this release.
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
Its Christmas all over ... great news, python! :D Will update very shortly.

Thank you so much for you work!
[Desire Android Development] jamadant:
Hi Simon, two ways

1. download the oxygen image from alpharev, rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on the sdcard, reboot to bootloader and it will ask if you want to update. Click yes and then wipe

2. use fastboot, you need android sdk tools - put imaage from alpharev in the tools folder and follw instructions from alphare.

No 1. is the easy way TBH

[Desire Android Development] python08:
Sorry guys, I've forgotten live wallpapers.. If you really miss them, please tell me :)
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Flashing :)
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
You could include them since this is the closest thing to AOSP, some people enjoy the live wallpapers ( I use them to show my iphone friends how great android really is ) :)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Building a fixed version right now :) Will upload it asap.

[UPDATE] --> just uploaded the version with LiveWallpapers :)
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Anyone to confirm 2 sec delay in incoming calls?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
go guys... donate this Genius! :p

awesome rom, really near to perfection!

smooth, fast & no reboots, coupled with latest vorkkernel svs also battery life is very good :cool:

keep testing, I'll report just in case... :)
[Desire Android Development] matschi:
RC8 had a bootloop after 70 hours uptime, will try 1.0 now.

Missing battery percentage displayed in icon.

Missing menü-unlock in 1.0.

when you fix these things, it will be the best gingerbread rom in my opinion =)
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Bootloops should be fixed in 1.0 (it's Android 2.3.3). Menu unlock is not missing (Settings>Accessibility)
[Desire Android Development] matschi:
amazing, thanks python08 =)

but battery percentage would be great!
[Desire Android Development] adamneilwilson:
Menu unlock is included in 1.0 mate
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
No, keep it stock and simple please! ;-)

Sent from my HTC Desire running Amethyst
[Desire Android Development] matschi:
okay, could you then build a flashable zip for me, please?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
With battery percentage?
[Desire Android Development] matschi:
yes, with battery percentage displayed in the battery icon. would it be possible?
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
Just make your own one from the UOT
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Good idea ;)
[Desire Android Development] animehq:
I m waiting for coutts99 kernel bugfix :), nice rom :)
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Is there any way to get the old notification widget icons back? Flashing the RC7 SystemUI.apk isn't perfect, the USB icons are the wrong icon or missing and it's missing some notification widget icons (like flashlight).

EDIT: I checked out the UOT kitchen, it seems it has been updated since the last time I used it. Notification widget icons are there now, I'll give that a shot

EDIT2: Doesn't appear to support Amethyst 1.0, statusbar doesn't even show up on boot
[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
First try with amethyst... Seems very solid... Have always been put off by front page saying video recording is not working... But as far as I can tell, it is working fine (maybe the single "known issue"should be removed)... Anyway very nice work python
[Desire Android Development] darni:
Hiya. Just wanted to thank for a great rom. Left Oxygen, cause of the hostile environment in rom thread. Am I blind, can't seem to find long press back to kill App..

madone (Amethyst 1.0)
[Desire Android Development] wuub:
I totally agree , some people are just being ****s in this thread!

But that's not why i use Amethyst!

Neither because i like minerals.

Nor because I'm French...

But because it ****ing rocks Python.

Super unreasonably fast. Stable and stock!!!

Battery is great too.

On Tuesday i bought a desire HD, installed latest Aosp GB rom available and compared.

My desire beats iPhone 4 and desire HD at web browsing!

Quadrant scores were no good but that doesn't mean much to me.

Anyways I'm selling my desire HD now. Will wait for desire s.

Python t'es bon pour une mousse ;)

Mille mercis
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Yeah great Rom! I've been running it since 20.00 yesterday, had no problems. Tested calling,the other side had some echo though...Excellent batterylife, and it's fast!

nice work
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Many thanks for noticing that (:
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
is this rom compatible with cm7 or oxygen hboot?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Yes ;)
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
I love this rom, because with it's my desire it's like a Nexus S :)

I have installed last version (1.0 with live wallpaper) yesterday, and this morning I have my first bug.

The android keyboard was break, unable display it. I need to force reboot for fix it.
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Would it be possible to enable apps to activate GPS such as tasker and seekdroid? It used to work with amethyst but no longer in 1.0
[Desire Android Development] valery.m:
I want to try it on my Desire.

I'm using coolexe's Z ROM now with data2ext v9.3 and my Sdcard (Silicon power 8GB class6) partitioned according to ownhere's recommendations:

1st Partition: FAT32 - remainingMB

2nd Partition: EXT4 - 768MB

3rd Partition: EXT4 - 256MB

Am I able to run Amethyst ROM with such partitioning scheme and data2ext support? If yes, I need only flash ROM and reboot or I must flash data2ext zip after flashing ROM?
[Desire Android Development] poope:
I'm experiencing echo problems, im on the 27 radio.:(
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Kernel fixed :)
[Desire Android Development] eastonfr:
Were can this zip file b downloaded?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
No where yet, I've just pushed fixes to Amethyst git repo.

I'll try and get some builds up this afternoon.
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Good news, I'm waiting for it ! (with undervolt ?)

thx
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Yes usual kernels.

2.6.38 just bootloops though :(
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
2.6.37 kernels will appear here

http://mirror.couttstech.com/android/bravo/kernel/index.php?dir=aosp-2.6.37/Amethyst/

CFS/BFS Havs or SVS

2.6.38 bootloops, I will work on that when I have some time.

Yes these are also compatible with Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
Phyton, b4 this I'm using tasker to toggle mobile signal in certain cycle period. And I'm using cm7 before migrate to amethyst. But now i can't use Tasker to toggle anymore. I check with tasker dev it is because he use cm7 mod to toggle. Can you please take a look on this? So far i test redux and oxygen can work but your rom can't. I ask this because I like your rom and want to stick with it
[Desire Android Development] karoodee:
I have a simmilar problem with Phoneweaver toggling (or not) the dataconnection in _all_ gingerbread roms including amethyst. But the dev runs Nexus One with official gingerbread and it's working on his phone...
[Desire Android Development] animehq:
coutts kernel :D

Work it harder, make it better

Do it faster, makes us stronger

More than ever, Hour after

Your work is never over ;)
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Just got 1.0 on now. Works great, very fast and smooth. Great work :)

Edit: I'm guessing App2SD won't be working until Coutt's kernel is back in?
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
A2SD works in 1.0 - confirmed it with Titanium Backup =)
[Desire Android Development] darni:
Running new coutts 2.6.37.3 kernel cfs havs now...

madone via Tapatalk (Amethyst 1.0)
[Desire Android Development] valery.m:
flashed, all works at first sight. :)

how can I check whether data2ext working properly or not?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
App2sd not kernel related :)
[Desire Android Development] Akarim47:
I installed the rom on HBOOT CM7 with 512 ext3. titanium shows the a2sd bar.

I went to settings and unchecked the move to SD option (i thought this is the google one) also put internal memory as defualt so they will go to SD?

this is how I used CM7 when installing appz.

I used titanium to restore all of my apps and I can see them in the app drawer then reboot the phone and then all the appz are not appearing the drawer except of angry bird. I did th e restore again and the same thing once I restore everything is gone.

one more thing, how to config the statusbar power widget

thanx, love the rom.
[Desire Android Development] adamneilwilson:
Settings/display
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Ah okay.

I should have maybe worded the question differently - App2SD was working to an extent as when I restored all my apps, Titanium showed some had gone on the SD card, but when I tried installing some from the Market, I was getting insufficient storage errors.
[Desire Android Development] Akarim47:
after full wipe & fresh install I restored all the appz, reboot the phone the same problem then another reboot seems to fix it. hopefully it won't happen again

thanx, found it. this is the old CM method which is limited to 6. hoping for the new one from CM7.

other than that well done, its one of the fastest rom I have used.
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
Well I've found it's nothing to do with App2SD. It's just one app (SMS Backup & Restore) that's giving insufficient memory errors, even though I have plenty on internal and ext partition. I've checked things like /cache partition with df -h command and it shows everything fine.

I installed it on RC8 before flashing 1.0 to backup SMS messages and it installed fine, but not now.

Found another app that does the same thing and installs fine.
[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
tiny thing...

I just noticed that the usb-mount -sd card, has the same text for turning sharing on and off... they both say turn sharing off.... I know this was in one of the others (CM?) too -- it is no big deal, since it still works fine, which is all i really care about, but just thought I should let you know about it....
[Desire Android Development] freaksamael:
Anyone to confirm 2 sec delay in incoming calls?
[Desire Android Development] poope:
I can confirm echo
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
I have an echo too when I call someone, the other person have an echo of me :(

except that, very good rom :D
[Desire Android Development] Gundam00qan:
Excellent ROM but,

voice echoing as mentioned...

Just wondering, have any % icon for status bar?

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Well i think echo is a big issue with a mobile phone. Otherwise this would be the perfect Rom for me:"(
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
I have no echo of any kind. I can confirm, common to all GB roms afaik, the 2 secs delay. I am on 3G network for calls, no idea if echo appears only on 2G
[Desire Android Development] darni:
No echo here with 2G/3G.

madone via Tapatalk (Amethyst 1.0)
[Desire Android Development] poope:
I'm on 3g and i've wiped mutiple times etc.

Could it have something to do with my radio 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27?

I'll update the first post asap and I'll look into this echo issue ;)
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Thanks, but is this an update that you flash over 1.0 or is it a ROM in itself? I'm considering flashing from GV 1.5, so need to flash the whole new ROM.
[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
It is the whole the rom.... wipe, flash, and enjoy!
[Desire Android Development] pctetra:
same problem with oxygen 2, echo is a big issue and sometimes it's impossible to have a normal call...and every time with my boss !!!

for this reason I get back with ReflexTSenseHD
[Desire Android Development] Sylde:
slow USB transfer back ... comes for me with the 1.0.1.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Is it a 2.6.37 kernal? usually you have to revert to a 2.6.35 kernal to avoid slow usb issues.
[Desire Android Development] stfone:
Do we really need to wipe ?
[Desire Android Development] freaksamael:
For now it seems that:

- 2.6.35 kernel may randomly go into a suspend/resume loop when suspended, causing excessive battery drain (this issue is normally mitigated by setting wifi sleep mode to never) and performance and smoothness may not be as good as some .37 kernels

- 2.6.37 kernel USB mass storage write speed is 1/4 the speed of the .35 kernel

and VPN will not work (yet) due to Android incompatibility with 2.6.37

- echo during calls is due to the kernel. Newest kernels address this issue.

- 0.5-2 sec delay @ incoming calls is affecting a.t.m. all GB kernels and ROMs.

I have up to 2 full days on battery life using 2G, gmail, weather and exchange mail permanent sync with 20-30 minutes of calls daily. Call delay is the only thing that is bothering me. But I can live with that :).

Tips:

- reboot every 2 days.

- fix permissions via RomManager

- keep your widgets in phone memory...

- kill unneeded background apps.

- (personal choice) screen brightness - manual and automatic brightness - disabled

I never ever have stability issues!

Many thanks to all the Devs and Chefs !!!
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
thanks a lot :)

it's very fast and stable
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Vpn should be working
[Desire Android Development] najar360:
Phyton, what kind of phone toggle that you fix?
[Desire Android Development] python08:
2G/3G
[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
Probably ok coming from previous version to try no wipe, but william, who's question I was answering was coming from cm..... Still, I would make all my backups, just in case if I was you....

Without "tails" as in Cyan's. Clean, fast.

What radio to use?

Hi guys!

Yesterday I flashed Amethyst 1.0.1 - everything is working perfect for me!

One question to the radio: any recomendations from the devs or any user which version to use? I'm actually using 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 which is quite old... It works well for me though.

Thanks - for answers and the brilliant work!!
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
What kind of partition layout is recommended to this rom ? ( im using fat32+ext4 1024mb)
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
I'm just using the latest Desire one. Been working fine.

That's how I've set mine out and had no problems.
[Desire Android Development] finran:
battery life?

Hi there...

tested a lot of roms in the last weeks... amethyst rc 1-8... cyanogen, richard trips gingerbread roms, some miui forks... and one thing was really strange. the only roms which had really good battery life like the stock roms... were amethyst rc 1 - i guess 4 or 5... after that amethyst ran with coutts "new" kernel - and amethyst 1.0. all the other roms gave me battery life about 0,75 - 1 day without charging... which is... i would like to say... just not acceptable. i want to be able to use my phone for what it is designed for... browsing the web... listening to music, using apps (needless to say it is a phone... so using it as a phone would be nice too)... without charging it every 5-6 hours. so my question... is the new 1.01 version of amethyst with coutts kernel again designed with just a horrible battery life or does it work just well like 1.0 with vork kernel?

thanks for your replys in advance =)
[Desire Android Development] Psych0Chimp:
You can simply flash vorkKernel on top of Amethyst 1.01 if you feel as though you'll get better battery life...

Chimp
[Desire Android Development] Advancer:
I've been running the latest 1.0.1 now, but with coutts kernel listed in my signature, and I must say I'm impressed by the batterylife, the overall feel and use of the ROM. I'm loving it!

I added a screenshot of the past days batteryuse :)
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
The stock kernel is very conservative with regards to voltages. This is to be compatible with as many devices as possible.

Lower them, or try a havs kernel to try to improve battery.
[Desire Android Development] finran:
Fine! Thanks a lot - hope you didn't take my comment as a personal attack somehow, thats what i definitly didn't want to - but i will definitly try out your advice.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
No offence taken! kernel has the vdd interfaces for svs and havs, so easy to change voltages. Check evoilet thread for instructions.
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
I'm on 1 day 20 hours so far without a proper charge. Had it plugged in to USB for about 20 minutes yesterday, so it got a bit of one then. Using coutt's CFS HAVS kernel set to ondemand with it running at 1190MHz max.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] samy.3660:
wheres the download link, i can't find it on github, its too much confusing??
[Desire Android Development] awolbriggy:
Rom isn't on github - that is for viewing source if you are interested in that kind of thing...

Link for flashable Rom is at bottom of first post where there is the word downloads:

then a "hot linked" 1.0 for the current version...
[Desire Android Development] samy.3660:

[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
2.6.38, CFS, HAVS for me :)
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
thansk a lot :)

I will install the new kernel this evening, but why do you prefer CFS over BFS?
[Desire Android Development] Mike_52:
I'm not a expert in kernel, but CFS seems to work better with Gingerbread than BFS.
[Desire Android Development] millomonk:
Hello, what's the difference between the standard kernels and the Amethyst comptible?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Camera breaks on Amethyst and Oxygen with the standard kernels.
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
I use CFS HAVS kernel.

Works fine, and great battery life.

CFS = Completely Fair Scheduler, BFS = Brain **** Scheduler. BFS is better for running the main program in focus, so 3D games etc, and you'd get slightly better benchmark results with a BFS kernel. For every day phone usage, a CFS is enough for me.
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
RADIO and RIL

Hey!

In another forum I read about RIL (Radio Layer Interface) that is needed for a special RADIO.

Which RIL is used in Amethyst 1.0 and what RADIOs are then recommended to use with Amethyst?

Thanks!

Or is RIL just not important?

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
stick with standard radio built in and you won't have any problems
[Desire Android Development] poope:
Is this echo issue fixed with the new kernel? And is the batterylife still great?
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
I made a few phone calls yesterday and no echo for me with new kernel.
[Desire Android Development] simon1283:
With the new kernel I don't have echo either.
[Desire Android Development] Harrysoon:
What do people think of the battery life with coutt's latest kernel?

After using it the last couple of days, I don't feel I'm getting as good of a usage as with the .37 kernel.
[Desire Android Development] freaksamael:
What about call delay? There is a thread addressing this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991704

If it's really works, it's possible to commit this patch to Amethyst?

Thanks to koulik!
[Desire Android Development] poope:
the .37 made it run like a dream, but then the echo-issue ruined it
[Desire Android Development] Last Second:
Well, just tested the batterylife of the 0.38 kernel over night...

Over 9h with screen off,2G only, i noticed a batteryloss of ~ 9-10% -> thats not such a bad value, got a lot of widgets installed with a sync rhytm of every 3h.

Alltough I tested a few weeks a go an older .37 kernel and the batteryloss was only 6-7% with the same configuration.

Will test the .37.4 kernel this night in the exact same configuration.

Flashing RADIO

Problem with flashing a new RADIO:

I can't flash a new RADIO via Recovery. The RADIO is being extracted and the Recovery menu says I need to reboot to finish the flashing of the RADIO - so far everything works fine. But after rebooting I still have the same old RADIO, not the version I just flashed.

I am using the Oxygen HBOOT, maybe the problem is anyhow related to the quite small cache partition?

Thank you for your help!!
