I never said anything like that - just pointing out my post :)

My quadrant scores are lowish compared to data2sd - however, users of data2sd and then a2sd say that if anything, a2sd has less lag and feels quicker..!

Another way of putting it (with the use of cars, I like them :)). My car, Impreza wrx is around 250BHP - My friends car is a Nissan 200SX and is around 300BHP - His car is better on paper as it has more power, however, in a race, I will win cos I have 4x4 and can put the power down, while he has rear wheel drive and wheel spins...

I'm trying to say, Scores arent always the best! its what is usable.. My phone is usable, and I never see any lag!

Anyhow, my quadrant score after 3 tries are 1400, 1603 & 1654 respectivly. I used to get better results on 2.2 - I dont think 2.2 was quicker though! :)

We are talking between ourselves... I think Lexxa was asking me as they may now change to a2sd if it is more convinient... For you, just stick with what you know.. :)
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
haha, i’ll go for the black bar, looks better in the rest of the apps for me. waiting for your PM...can’t wait to try my own combi!!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i used to gt 1000 -1300 quadrant scores on cm7 but i think quadrant scores aint useful. gingervillain must be really fast :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thats fine... I'm writing a PM to you now regarding the changes...!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
where do put installation location on the cm settings so apps move to ext? do i move them to internal?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Internal, all apps on internal memory will be on ext partition...
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
well

in terms of cars. you have impreza wrx and i have an impreza wrx.

nevertheless you have a bottom size 5 and mine is size 7. therefore eventhough we have the same car i still need more fuel and specially designed seat :)

in terms of smartphones (i like them) you feel comfy 197M /data partition nevertheless my 303M /data content juss will not fit.

my scores vary betwen 1800 and 2400 but as you say... the feel is quite strange... cannot say slow... just strange. this is not the feel i desire from my desire :)

therefore i'm considering how to improve it.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
well to carry on from that, your 303 /data wasnt enough, my 197 /data is enough, but it isnt if there was no a2sd... I'm using 500mb of my 1 gb partition...!

But as you say, its about personal exprience, if you feel it is "strange", then try something else... (that would be you changing your seat for a larger bottom size ;) )
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
One more time, but there's no titanium apk to move. Anyway, here goes.:D
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
any bugs on gingervillain that i should know of?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It's called com.kermandis.something.or.another... something like that..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Screen on animation can make the screen turn on and then off really quickly when turning the screen on... the phone will still react but screen off.. turn.off the screen on animation to fix that.. only one I can.think off..
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
well that bugs on cm7 too.. screen animation makes screen flicker on n off
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Tested and i can confirm its working.
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Nope. Not enough moved. Won't boot. :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Why not make a.custom mtd, for /system to have 145mb, cache to have 40 and the rest on /data? Instead of all this faffing around... or just use the n1 table...?
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Haha. How on earth do I make a custom mtd.? The n1 table entails another Hboot flash? Please no.:D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806321 - for custom MTD partition sizes... - I havent done this... I'm lazy and cant b bothered to read through it! lol!

hboot flash is easy! You can even do it from the phone without a usb cable or anything!
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
It'll probably be by tomorrow night that my hands will start to itch again. Go on then, how and what Hboot to flash tomorrow?:D
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Check Villain Setup. New market online (working fine here).
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Is this v2.2.7?
[Desire Android Development] salleq:
Can't remember if I brought it up earlier, but I solved this problem by wiping and NOT restoring any settings (read somewhere about different bt stack or something...so the settings aren't compatible)
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
One more bug to report...

I tried to find some photos in the album, and a grey box apperad saying "Loading new album and photos". The bug is not the box, but the fact that the box, will only disappear if I restart the device...

Sorry if it was mentioned before.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
yes

10char
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Not working. Same Problem. And yes - i haved cleared Cache and Data. Market crashes immediately.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Richard trip, thanks for the Rom... can you please update villain setup with the latest desire bios screen with gingervillain and 2.3 in respective places... it is on post 640 or my Sig (am on app, so not too sure).. thanks, matt.
[Desire Android Development] c3zuppa:
excuse me, but where do you enable wake on trackball? I do not find it
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Works fine here... Have you tried to reflash the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Tekguru:
Actually since I upgraded to 0.6 it's all been working fine for me! :)
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Try this procedure for your Market Problem:

- Close it

- Clear Cache

- Clear App Data

- Clear Dalvik
[Desire Android Development] lolka23:
full wipe

Hi all!

Di I really need a full wipe if I coming from Gingervillain 0.5?

What happens if I dont do it?

Sorry for tha lame question. :)

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] RoBy46:
Hi richardtrip, you can put in the rom option trackball wake???

Sorry for my eng, use google translator :p
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
This is excactly what it did and what was working after switching from LeeDroid to DeFroST months ago with the old market.

But in fact it is still crashing quiet after Reboot and after clicking Market every time.

Just to be clear - the Market from Oxygen is starting at GINGERVillain and only crashes at downloads. Every other Market like the one in Villainsetup is crashing immediately. So it is definetly a Bug and not my fault.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I don't want to come across as a smartass, but why not just try? Backup first, so if anything goes wrong you can always revert or do a clean install.

Anyway, from experience I can tell ypu that probably a full wipe isn't necessary. Just to be sure I always only wipe dalvik-cache, but I never perform a full-wipe (unless things FC on me). Haven't updated to 0.6 this way, but it will probably go just fine...
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
I don't really think it is a genuine bug. Works great here, no FCs or anything. All I did was install it through Villainsetup, cleared the market cache and it works...

(although I don't know what could be wrong with your market if you performed the steps described in the previous post)
[Desire Android Development] lolka23:
Thanks for your quick reply.

You are right I should just try it(I will) but I wanted to know if there is any risk if I dont do a full wipe.

Thanks again!
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
You're welcome of course. Just make sure you always backup before installing a new rom. From experience I can tell that Richard always mentions when a full-wipe is necessary, so if you don't see any comments from him, you can just update without the full wipe...
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
same here and new market is working just fine
[Desire Android Development] bigpmuzik89:
Hey there :) I don't can update @ the moment to 0.6. Does 720p recording? Thank richardtrip, you are my God!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well as I said over the last couple of days, I'm on n1 with no problems what so ever... however, after reading.custom mtd I will be looking into this now... :)
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Sorry, must be getting very long sighted now. I see the N1 table img. If you're talking about doing the flash through the phone, I've tried that with Oxygen Hboot. Didn't work. The reason I'm not too keen to flash another Hboot is my experience with CM7 and RcMix v2 refusing to flash after that. It only decided to work after the seventh attempt. I don't want another heart attack.:)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
flashing gingervillain now :)
[Desire Android Development] :
I am lazy, too :D

would be so much easier if alpharev would give us our own Hboot like Oxygen and CM7. All that cache size is a waste of space :(
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
well i presume the only reason it didnt boot was cos it was on such a small Hboot! if it was on a larger hboot, like data sense (i think its called), then it would boot, with any fuss or playing around with the rom! :)
[Desire Android Development] tropical cactus:
Well, it did say it was the CM7 version of the rom. Now after restoring I'm having a bloody problem with the home weather. All other cities update except current location. I give up.

Edit: Working now.
[Desire Android Development] :
Gingervillain needs about 140MB of system partition. So CM7 and Oxygen hboot are most likely not compatible without deleting lots of stuff from system/app or system/media... But nonetheless you should work with the custom mtds... There you can provide the best usage of your internal storage.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Do YOU use custom mtds, Bertosch? I need to ask a question...
[Desire Android Development] :
Not yet.... I am about to change that ;) Waiting for an answer of rootSu :P

Need to know whether I need to proceed with the whole action when flashing a new GV update or just the bravo-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip .
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
my situation is quite similair... i just tried it, not getting past boot screen... Wait!! its passed it (took longer than usual)...

infact, what I did, didnt change a thing... It still says my normal partition sizes...!

but, just to kinda answer your question... i believe it is just the boot patch needed on every update... as the recovery is already patched!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i have flashed gingervillain and restored apps using titanium back up and the apps not syncing with market. anyone know how to solve this?
[Desire Android Development] :
Haha :P

Well so far so good gonna give it a chance anyway :D

Titanium Backup says:

/system 152MB ... 22MB free

/internal 207 MB...

What sizes did you choose for you?

That's for my earlier question :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13282878&postcount=373

Edit: So I was thinking... After deleting some stuff from the rom I only need 130MB for /system, and about 25MB for /cache (thanks to rootSU) ;)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
is there a issue with changing cpu setting in the cm settings?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
There was, I dont know if CM fixed it. thats why i use setCPU...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I tried again, and the same thing happened... Dunno what is going on...

But i was going for around 50 cache, 140 system and the rest on data... if i can get it working!!
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
yep there still is a issue. hope it gets fixed. for the mean time ill use setcpu. first time using setcpu :/
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
anyone using stock gingervillain kernel?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
yes, many ppl will be... why do you ask? its better to ask the question (like, how many days bat on standard gv kernel)... not many ppl will reply with just yes...
[Desire Android Development] :
mat PM!

I dont even get to write into the .txt :D hahahahahahaha
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
how many days on battery on standard gv kernel? i want to know so then i will know whether not i should flash a different kernel such as ManU kernel.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
first time using setcpu and i want to set it at 128mh when i am idle (when screen is not on), can someone help me how to do that?
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Not quite 2 days, probably 40 hours for me. Depends on so many things. But for me, it's almost exactly the same as battery on any if the other kernels, there's only a few percent in it. It's worth experimenting and seeing what works for you because each kernel seems best for someone.
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
You need to enable profiles and set a screen off profile with 128mhz min in setCPU.
[Desire Android Development] WvanWaas:
You are talking about days? More like hours my phone uses around one accu in 7 hours so about 3 loads a day..... i use a wallcharger and spare batteries
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
Wow! you must be some heavy user playing games. listening to music and watching videos to kill a battery in 7 hours. I get 2 and half days out of each charge with moderate usage, have you tried conditioning your battery?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok but if i have governor ondemand will it scale my cpu down to min when screen off? that means i dont need screen off profile right??
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
what kernels you guys using?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I can max out my battery in pretty much 4 hours... constant browsing... :)

Edit: I'm always on my phone, and use it like all the time.. constantly checking something... I can maybe get a day out of it if lucky... but tbh, I bought a second charger that I leave in my car for place I go.. :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
first few hours with gingervillain rom . to be honest i think its a superrb rom...

gingervillain > cyanogenmod 7 :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm not sure with the gv kernels, but I know manu kernel has it going down to 128 without any profiles, as I have it now...

The best thing for you to do is to test all if them, and see which one gives you the best results... :)

I've been using Richards Rom for the past year now and always been superb.. nothing but excellence... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
by using ManU kernel has it brought down the performance?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Not at all... if anything it has upper the phones performance as I can overclock to 1190 :) but it does save battery (the axi kernel) as I accidentally flashed the non axi kernel and noticed a difference...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
is the ManU kernel better in performance and battery than the stock gv kernel? ok
[Desire Android Development] naguz:
AFAIK, the dalvik cache on the Desire was originally on the /cache partition. At least it was on the Nexus. Or is there another cache which would take a 100MBs?

Anyway, I am fully aware that the cache is big because of many apps, that is the very reason why I don't want it on the /data partition. But moving it to the sd card is both a waste of space and has a potential of performance loss. The cache partition, however, is the ideal place to store the cache.

The whole point of a2sd cachepart option is to move the cache to the cachepartition. However, it still resides on the /data partiion, meaning that some symlink or mountpoint "magic" prevents it from working. Moving it to the sd card works, but I'd prefer it to be on the /cache partition. I doubt the cache partition size would have anything to do with it, a2sd reports no errors, and seems to believe it has placed the cache on the cache partition.

On another note:

SOmeone mentioned that theme chooser themes does not show in market.

It is probably because they set

<uses-feature android:name="com.tmobile.software.themes" />

, and GV not properly declaring this value in it market prop file (or whatever it is called.)
[Desire Android Development] WvanWaas:
not even that heavy sometimes i play Angry Birds or Reckless Racing but most of the time it's just Tapatalk, Androidworld reader, Twitter and Pulse and my dutch ISP bad connections kills an accu
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, I think you are correct there, I was talking about gingervillain being on data..

I do see where your coming from, but I have seen my /cache fill up with like 20mb free.. and I havent put my dalvik there..

My dalvik is around 60-70mb so if it being of my 95mb /cache partition I would only have the 20mb, which isn't a lot.. :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
anyone know how use unlock gestures on gingervillain? i cant find it.
[Desire Android Development] WvanWaas:
Try Tasker
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
Using ManU-Havs-Axi-Cfs kernel. will let you guys know how it performs
[Desire Android Development] xky1980:
Ho guys, I am using this rom. All great. But I am having some trouble with calendar widget. It doesn't show any Event. Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
screen off for 10 hours and battery drained from 97 to 79 percent. using manu kernel havs-axi-cfs.
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
You should give kernel a fev charging cycles to settle.

18 percent drain for 10 hours is absolutely normal. Your phone is actively transferring data with ping servers, facebook, twitter etc. all the time. Even when your screen is off. :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok thanks... ill giv it a few charge cycles. how would i return to stock kernel? is it in the villain setup? will stock kernel may perform better on battery than ManU kernel?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
18 percent is quite a lot if the screen is off...

I would recommend using JuiceDefender.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ill give juicedefender a go if battery is still bad after few charge cycles.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
btw how do you go back to stock kernel on gv?
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Just check Villain Setup. It's there.

For battery tips: http://tinyurl.com/5tdacl4
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i can just flash the gv again on top, so my kernel can be restored right???
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
That's another way to go.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The stock kernel would be the SVS cfs 1113.. found in villain setup.. just flash that.. :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I would say it is normal with a constant sync.. that would be th same as mine with it being undervolted a lot, and constant sync left on, with WiFi on but a good 3g (h constantly) signal... obviously if turning off sync or going into aeroplane mode would bring it down a lot..!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
U like a bit of lmgtfy now... its a nice little tool... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
thanks guys back to stock kernel :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
can you scale down to 128mhz on stock kernel?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i have a feeling my radio is the cause to my battery drains.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try to put all your posts into one or edit an existing, as at the moment every other (plus the one in-between) post is yours :)

Not too sure as I don't use it... maybe someone else can answer...

What radio are you on? Flashing a new one might help, test others to see if it is that...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok sorry about that. anyone using stock kernel could you let me know if you can scale down to 128mhz without any harm?

im on 5.11.05.27 radio at the moment. in uk as well on o2 network. i have tested 5.17.05.23 radio before when i was on cm7 and that was a total battery hog. Is there a reccomended radio for gingervillain?
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
For me gv 2.2 HAVS 1113Mhz + CFS (900mV minimum) is the best kernel. Less batterydrain than any of the ManU 1.3/1.4
[Desire Android Development] unikum:
I am using the one you have in your sign. Its fine.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
what does (900mv minimum) mean? and does your kernel have AXI ?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
It means that when the CPU is at lower speeds (128,256, etc.), it will be undervolted to 900mV.

This is the same voltage as my kernels so it should work OK for you.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
sorry about the silly basic questions

yh will try your kernel soon . but pretty confused which version will be the best.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Au contraire. Your questions are quite normal. The only way you can determine which combination works best for you is to try them out.

I won't be angry if you prefer Richard's kernels!! :D

As someone pointed out earlier on in this thread, apparently Richard's kernels work better for him in terms of battery usage. I'm quite surprised, but why not. The latest GV kernels are very good.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
As stated it is best to try them all... let them settle and see fort yourself, every phone is different.. some.people can run havs kernels some can't.. some can go.to 900mv some lower, others not even as low as that... you will need to check all the possibilities... kernel and radio combination is a good place to start... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
ok thanks. going to flash 5.14.05.17 radio and wait for that to settle then flash kernels. how long does it take to settle? does richard trips kernel support AXI ? it seems like most people use ManU kernel on gingervillain. is havs or svs better on gingervillain? what radio are you using

mattmanwrx

?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
5.17.05.23, the latest one from HTC I believe...

I'm.not too sure if rt's kernel is using axi, as I haven't used it in a while.

Havs will always be better imo.. you can about the havs and SVS in evillot's manu kernel thread.. :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
does anyone know whether radio 5.11.05.27 or 5.14.05.17 is better for battery? ok but if rt's kernels dont have AXI, do i need to set profiles in setcpu to help scale down cpu when idle.?
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
ok, after tweaking and testing, here's a zip based on what mattmanwrx did for me. flashable for GV 2.5 only!

Cheers, and thanks to matt for all the help! :)

(i know the dark background looks strange, but i don't seem to be able to give it that 'natural' look.)

still not satisfied with it yet, when i find the time i'll try and spruce it up (eg depth, shadows, and a more unified look)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
can i have a screenshot of it? is black and whyt?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Nice... you managed to change the colour of the text? which xml file was this?

You will probably have a lot of on your plate now! after changing the bits you wanted, you now want to play around a lot more and change bits you dont know, then it will beomce a whole theme!

Maybe we should work together and create the best theme ever?! no, scrap that! I need to look into theme chooser themes! thats where it is at!

it is just a change to the background of the notification area... you probably want to look at theme chooser themes for a black and white one! in fact, a quick google - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018852
