Hi everyone.

GV 2.8 is running flawlessly for me.

I've tried Oxygen, MIUI(XJ and US), RCMix, LeeDrOiD, Reflex...but some are still unstable and some are little bit laggy.

I felt GV 2.6 was much better and now I'm so happy with 2.8 though I passed 2.7.;)

THX a lot!!

Regards;

I have a very serious issue ever since the release of GV 2.8....even after a full wipe when I install GV 2.8 or 2.9 and then restore my apps using Titanium backup the phone starts up but the CPU usage never goes below 100%...its stays like this for a few minutes then the phone reboots to the GV boot screen and then whole process starts over again....so Im stuck on GV 2.7 ..... any ideas what could be causing this ?

one thing Ive noticed is my cache partition is 99% full even after wiping it...could this be an issue ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Sound, so does my friends... press it and the video call pops up...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The library is probably the ownhere one which has been modified. annd why other apps cannot use it. Can you uninstall all map apps (street, navigation, anything you think might be using, maybe even geocache records use it) and then try to install maps from the market..?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What are you using to tell you the CPU is at 100% is it reliable?

Maybe turn down the overclocking or undervolting?

And don't worry about cache, it is redirected to .Android-secure for more room... :)

Hi, after running GV 2.8 for a while I experience problems since this week: I had random reboot about 3 times ..one of these events I remember to have activated wifi, then put the phone on the desk. After some time - can't say if 2 or 5 minutes, i noticed the power on vibration ..

Then, today I realized that my fat32 partition has been partially corrupted : some directories and filenames have changed with additional random unicode characters in it..could that have been caused by spontaneous reboots? Or the other way round, corrupt files make phone reboot? Had also some market FCs, recently..

Any suggestions/ideas?

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I don't think the SD card would be the phone in particular. Maybe an app (that has permission to change the SD card contents) may have done that.. never seen that though... it us good practice to take regular back ups of the SD card...

Have you changed kernels at all? Or do you undervolt? Also overclocking can do this too. I recently changed my highest frequencies to 1152 from 1190 as phone was rebooting, and now all is fine... maybe it is that...

Have you flashed anything else at all?

Regarding the market, did you flash the new market over the top? If so, that may be why you are getting force closes. Go to /settings/applications/manage apps/ all / market and uninstall updates, then flash new one... :)
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
no overclocking or undervolting.....ive used 2 or 3 different utilities to check cpu usage and all show 100%
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
I'm running everything same as on GV 2.7, then 2.8v1 and 2.8v2 and now on the official release of GV2.8. i have setcpu w/ ondemand governour from 128 to 998 MHz and screenoff profile conservative, 128 to 422MHz. standard voltages on the standard 2.8 SVS kernel (my phone doesn't like the HAVS kernels). Else: flashed only bluefrost theme ;)

but regarding flashing else: recently I got error message when trying to 'install' (e.g. bluefrost theme, ad-free) from villain setup: in the recovery it extracts zip but stops then with some error.. which i cannot reproduce, now it worked the first time since..don't know ;)

well, it's time for titanium+nandroid backup and then a complete sd-card backup, i guess.. btw., is there an analogue to windows "scandisk" that can find and fix file system errors on fat32 for android (i know, can do the same mounting the sdcard in windows..but backup first..).

and: damn ancient fat32! there should be ntfs or an other open source journaling file system standard for this kind of application..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Strange, I guess the next.step is to do the wipe and see if.that changes... I don't know of any program that will scan AND fix fat32, but I do agree that is outdated and needs to be updated. I bought a terabyte hdd for my ps3, had to format it in fat32 and get nothing.but errors and 4gb limitations... lol, oh well, what can you do...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
And you have done a full wipe? It could be an app making the 100% CPU usage.

Maybe repartition SD card using something reliable (gparted) to see if it is that? Maybe not accessing the ext properly...?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The 100% cpu for a couple of minutes after booting I've seen a lot with CM nightlies in the last few weeks, and GV is of course derived from CM. However, after that it settles down to normal, no reboot for me. Never been able to identify a particular app or system process behind it.
[Desire Android Development] aticatac:
Right, if you didn't wipe before installation, do that. If you didn't use gparted and a card reader to partition your card, do it now, and while you are at it, check the card for errors.

If you *did* wipe , try these:

- install http://www.appbrain.com/app/os-monitor/com.eolwral.osmonitor and check which process is running at 100%

- alternatively, check via adb: "buxybox top"

- alternatively, check via "adb shell": "top -n 1 -s cpu | grep -v ^$ | head -n 10" for CPU bound processes.

- also, check "adb logcat" for errors. Use "adb logcat *:w" to catch warnings and worse

still no sign of richardtrip? LED not working ( on screen and off screen)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
He went on holiday for a well deserved break. If the led bothers u that much... roll back to 2.7....
[Desire Android Development] kinget:
How often does this rom get updated?

I started using 2.7 - worked like a charm!

Upgraded to 2.8 - worked even better!

So now im eager to see how this develops!
[Desire Android Development] dsymbol:
Hey mattmanwrx,

Maybe you should update your signature with what you use:

- kernel

- radio

ect...

so some of us here can duplicate your phone heheh.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Got no room left :rolleyes:

However, I use standard ril, haven't changed my radio in ages (.17.05.23), manu havs kernel (old one still, not bothered about led) with low voltages :) wanna know anything else?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It depends how often cm7 gets updated, as this is based on.it...

Backuped,repartitioned,wiped,restored backup and nandroid..

Let's see what happens next days..

before repartitioning i scanned the fat32 in windows..found many errors as expected and maybe fixed some?.. but the damaged files and directories in the "root" dir on /sdcard remained broken.. looked like single bits flipped since sometimes only one letter in filename changed.. well, after some manual rename action most things work .. only titanium does not recognize backed up apps..where is the config file containing these located? Otherwise i just do another backup.

[Edit]

Titanium is fine! Just had to restart it properly[/Edit]

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
When mounting the SD card on a computer, before you unmount it, do you "eject" the removable disk via "safe to remove hardware" option (this is all for.Windows BTW). It does say to do this on the usb screen when card is mounted. Reason I ask is that error usually appear when not ejected properly...
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
Usually I do, but it happened that i forgot without any problem. anyway, since some weeks i didn't have the phone connected to a computer - and the problems occured within the last week. ..

so i can imagine these scenarios:

either due to a reboot while the sdcard has been accessed, caused by some software problem

the sdcard had some bad contact in the slot and when contact opened, phone crashed and data corrupted (i removed it and cleaned contacts, just in case)

broken sdcard OR controller(?)

whatever..theres can be alwas another reason :)
[Desire Android Development] neekos:
Hi all.

I've been racking my brains over the past few days on this but I finally found what was wrong.

I was having the problem when logging on to the hotmail webpage. It was fine when I was using the HTC Browser (before I rooted). I tried some other sites and found they were remembering my password. After messing around further I found that the reason was due to the webpage not being loaded as the PC site version. Once I clicked the "PC Site" link at the bottom of the login page and typed in my username and password, the "Remember Password" box came up.

I'm not sure why this was OK on the HTC browser but the issue is now resolved for me.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Glad it is sorted for you. It could have been the user agent playing around with it. It maybe as they know its a mobile they don't want passwords to be kept as unsafe? Probably user agent...

ive got very fast battery drain with gv 2.8. i installed havs 2.8 from villainsetup and alsio the wifi pm fast module. also have radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and RIL 2.2.1003G. and setcpu max 1113600 min 245000 and a screen off max 245 min 128. my battery was today at 07:00 o clock at 89%. Now it goes down to 57%. and i didnt use the phone....

which kernel / radio / ril is the best combination for gv and battery life?

htc desire brown ginger villain 2.8

hello there,

Im using ginger villain... for now the best rom out there... BUT i have one problem, when i start the navigation after 5 min my phone restarts again. I have this only when i start the navigation... What could be the problem?? Any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Every phone is different and a good combo for me may not be a good one for you... the best option is to try all combos and get the best for you. Different radios use different amount of juice depending on what area you are in...

Go to spare parts (get from market if not already got that), and click on battery history / change the top tab to partial wake usages and the bottom tab should.be since unplugged and that may help you determine which app is "waking the phone" and causing battery drain. My fresh install of gv 2.8 went fine, but maps was waking up every so often, so I uninstalled it and then installed it again and all is fine now...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Could be heat... check k what heat the battery gets to when using.it... spare parts will help you with that....
[Desire Android Development] ssauger:
I had the same problem a few months ago, also with navigation. I found its hardware related on some phones. My carrier exchanged the phone and then with same rom/ configuration never got the problem again.
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
I had the same problem when I used the GPS from Ulugh (don't ask) during a walk yesterday. Most of the time, it wouldn't take the phone 5 minutes before it reset again. I wasn't running any diagnostic tools at the time, but the phone didn't seem particularly warm to the touch.

Then after the walk, I drove home (2 hours) with navigation on and I didn't have a single reset.

Wondering if our problems could be related. I was ready to blame the Ulugh app.

@ richard can you tell us why this is here? I thought you would keep the rom as close as possible to AOSP.

Thanx for your work! i like it.

Google should add this to the vanilla rom themselves, great enhancement to android.

In cm froyo you were able to edit them also good to add to vanilla out of the box!

[Desire Android Development] eduits:
Why? you have the power widget!

A lot of people like this rom because it is clean and stock.

Maybe the next thing is battery percentage ;-) i hope not!

Please Richard, keep it stock (aosp) android, and let people theme there self.

+1

perhaps we can have option to turn it off ?
[Desire Android Development] shamarshall:
not 100% sure, but i think your issue has to do something with #3

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/content.php?249-Gingerbread-Features-to-look-out-for

For anyone who has launcher scrolling issues, i suggest ZEAM. its free, easy to use, and super quick!!

This is a great ROM, but thats what we have come to expect from the Villain team!!

I have noticed a few small bugs...

1) the screen off animation that is actually mentioned in #1 is not working anymore? could it have to do with something that titanium restored, and it turned it off by accident, or is it because I'm below 15%??

2) I can't get into my sound settings. I get a FC whenever i click on it.

Other than those two, the ROM is AWESOME. i didnt wanna switch from 2.2 unless the camera was fixed, and im glad it was.

Thanks for the hardwork!
[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
Nah you've just disabled some animation settings, i managed to turn mine off also.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
I would like to get back the missing notification sounds. I miss Tweeter for my Twitter.
[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
One small thing im missing from Gingerbread is the Ability to manually sync Phone contacts rather than sync friends details from their facebook account.

i have most contacts from SIM / on phone memory with just the Mobile Number of that contact and their name, i used to be able to go to the contact in my adress book and press a link button from the settings screen ( it was two chain links in white with a green one between them ) and it would sync my contact created originally with a selected facebook page.

the issue i have is that if i do sync from facebook using the sync setting anyone who i have saved in my phone book gets duplicated by the faceboook sync and adding the randon stuff people put in their phone number section on facebook.

I.e i have a friend whos set their facebook number to his work, and now i have synced i have two of this contact one with his mobile number tied to it ( not linked to his FB page ) and another synced to his faceboook page but with his work number . . .

Anyway for a manual sync ?
[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
They can be set in the settings for that particular app.
[Desire Android Development] shamarshall:
went into settings, and turned on animations :rolleyes:haha thanks

Hi Trip. I donated to you.

Thank for your work
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:

[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks tma24.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
What you are talking about is an HTC sense function wich is, ofcourse, not included in a vanilla rom.

The best way to solve your ploblem is first of all, sync your SIM contacts to your Google Contacts (seriously why do people keep using SIM-contacts)

Then in the settings -> accounts -> facebook (needs app installed) tell it to only sync known poeple (aka contacts) and update.

That should put all FB info from contact names already existing in you Google Contacts.

Good luck

No, that's not the problem. I know for sure its a software problem, because the phone wasn't hot or warm and just started to work 5 min. I didn't had did problem with the stock rom... Any other ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] rbjara:
Hi there,

I am using the stock navigator thats already in my phone... I never had this problem with the original rom... I know for sure that its a software problem inside Ginger Villain, why else is that thing doing strange... Dont ask me what it could be, im just a user ;)

No no never had this problem before... now with GV i have this problem... Maby change the radio thing? that controls the wifi, gps ect??

Since a couple of days I'm hearing some kind of glitches while the music is playing.

First I thought that the problem was caused by MixZing. I replaced it with Winamp which solved the problem for some hours but they came back afterwards.

Anyone got an idea what is causing this?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
This usually happens when listening to music and accessin/viewing the SD card (usually writing to it)... do you have an app that writes to SD card with logs or anything, or were you going through the SD card or another app doing it?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
A radio change may help... it would be worth a try...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Could it be your provider cutting you off... you are connecting to their network, but they are not giving you internet access by the looks of.it...

And I also had that problem, checked my apn and it had changed... I put it back to my original and all was fine...

I also think it may be the new ril which helped this bug for me... I haven't flashed the newest ril over 2.8 and all seems fine...
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
Yes. I checked APN and it was somehow changed. I rewrite it and it works fine. But how and why it was changed.... mystery!

Maybe theme chooser... only thing I can think of... but is still unlikely...

Hi,

which kernel and radio, for battery saving in combination with the best performance, is best for GingerVillain?

One more thing. Today I experience an issue while having a call. The screen was off but when touching my cheek on it it was dialing the numbers... screen off all the time. Weird!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Best combo is for you to find.. all the phones are different, and in different environments. Radios in different places in the world, let a lone country, will work differently with the draw of reception. If the area you are in is an area with good reception constantly, the battery life will be better than if your phone is constancy searching for the best reception possible. However, I can tell u I use manu kernel, and other stuff I cannot remember right now (it is in an above/page back post).

And that is a weird bug... never heard or seen anything like that before... maybe it was the person on other end.of phone playing trick on you... :)
[Desire Android Development] decat:
I was doing nothing.

The phone was on idle on my desk playing music.

I did not have this problem before, I installed widgetlocker some days ago and thought this one could have caused the problem so I deleted the app but the problem is still there.

Are there any logs on the phone which I can post here to find out?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Strange, maybe it is a degrading SD card? You can try alogcat which just creates a logcat on SD card, however, I can't really read it... others can though, maybe worth a try...

sd card

gents, i have a weird problem, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

i always had a class 6 sd card with 512 ext3 and rest of 16gb as fat32 partition.

yesterday i thought i upgrade a little, bought a class 10 16gb card and formatted it under linux with gparted as 1,7gb ext4 and rest fat32.

i thought i just copy over all files from one card to the other and deleting the cache would do the job, but now it looks like a fresh install, seems it does not see/mount my ext4 partition.

can anyone please help
