[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I'm sorry that you didn't have a good experience with my kernels, but I don't agree with you.

SetCPU CAN be installed. In fact, it's necessary if using one of my kernels in order to set minimum to 128Mhz. After that, there is no need for any profiles. So SetCPU doesn't need to run in the background. So there isn't anything that can eat up the CPU.

My kernels don't have anything running in the background, or at least there isn't anything more than Richard's kernels.

I don't see why you had issues, but I really doubt that it's linked to the kernel, especially if you don't enable 128Mhz, in which case they're basically the same as Richard's.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I'm aiming for the kernel that'll have best batt life based on my usage.

I'm running yours now for 34hrs, batt at 41% and everything seems fine.

Will try @angels recommendation after.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, well were in the right place, XDA of course!! ;)

Yes, but unles a webpage can be added to the rom, it would be pointless - the whole point is to not clog up Villainsetup - but maybe create a new Desire Setup (or along those lines).

Yes, that would be nice, maybe someone who could do that (i would volunteer if i knew how!) could ask Judison if we could use their work!?

Have you people looked at how much mA does your phone drain? I tested 2 different kernels (2.6.35.8 ManU-HAVS-CFS-AXI and the one GV 0.9 comes with) but in my WLAN, both took 7-9 mA during standby. I measured this with currentwidget.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Seems a lot, but it's going to depend on your access point. Some WiFi access points drain more than others. The APs I have at home drain 1mA. The AP I have at work drains 10-30mA. And it varies quite a lot.

If you want to know how much your ROM really drains, disable all connectivity. That'll tell you how much your phone eats up just doing nothing. On DeFroST, in airplane mode, I get approx. 2mA. Apparently with GB you should be reaching 3-4.

Then again, the information given by CurrentWidget isn't very precise. The best way to determine the battery usage is by leaving your phone idle for quite some time (ideally all night) with no connectivity and looking at how many % you lost during these hours. Compare the speed at which the % go down.

CurrentWidget doesn't give the numbers after the comma. So, one kernel could be using 3.1mA, and another could be at 3.8. But CurrentWidget will still be reporting 3mA for both even though there's a difference of almost 20%!!

Also, if you use my kernels, enable the 128Mhz minimum speed. Otherwise you won't be seeing any benefits (or hardly).
[Desire Android Development] Troja:
Hi, unfortunately not my bluetooth work properly. my car kit in is not found. All other devices are found. How can it be?

Sorry for my bad english ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Same kernel, WIFI on - 6mA, WiFi off - 4mA (or there abouts) but there are geographical factors that come into play (signal strength etc).

The draw with current widget is not useful to compare with others for these reasons, just to compare between your different kernels to match your usage and environment.
[Desire Android Development] art_sn00p:
Guess the most valuable thing in 3rd party components is stability under this very ROM proved by user reports. We already have some kind of summary table named "index for desire" in development 4desire thread. But we don't have "GV tested and reported to work stuff".

Hard work I think. Too many information and too fast updating.
[Desire Android Development] simonthor:
Does this have the incall bug making people on the other end unable to hear you the first 1-3 seconds? I can't use it with that, even though I love Gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
I don't know what caused that beaviour, I didn't had a chance to capture a live log cat as I found that situation at morning (almost too late... ;) ).

Regarding SetCPU, without profiles the only advantage it can bring to the average user is overclock, which is in contrast with battery saving we're discussing here. Hence my suggestion to not install it at all, regardless the kernel we're considering.
[Desire Android Development] monkeysmith:
Am loving this rom but having battery problems. Struggle to make it last a full day. Little bit of wifi, few emails/texts and a couple of calls.

Take it off charge about 6am, put it on charge about 9pm and it's on less than 15%.

I have tried a number of roms, including oxygen, and the battery life is much better, but I have a problem with that rom overheating the phone and it getting caught in a reboot loop in the middle of the night.

Lot of talk on here about kernals, but I don't really understand all this, am fairly clueless with all this, used the unrevoked root method and loaded several roms, so still learning. In the villian update program, I can see lots of kernals, any suggestions?

Thanks for the hard work in the rom, other than that loving it.

What type of vpn connection do you need? openvpn working fine here (use OpenVPN Settings for that). When i have some time i check the standard pptp/openvpn/l2tp/ipsek PSK.

Set the Wifi sleep policy to never (Menu, Settings, WiFi..., WiFi Settings, Menu, Advanced, Wifi sleep policy: never, menu, save).
[Desire Android Development] soeren1705:
Yes it does, guess most people in here don't use their phone for conversation since it hasn't been mentioned here until now :-) But you are absolutely correct, you might as well shut up for the first couple of seconds, the other end will not hear you anyway.

It is mentioned before. My findings are, it happens only when some-one calls me. the it seems the microfone is unresponsive for about 1 second (with me) but the speaker is working. For now i just say my name a bit later :D

When i'm calling myself it might be that the mic is kicking in after 1 second but at that time it's still ringing so no trouble there :D

hmm currentwidget shows that I'm losing 22mA during standby? I don't get the numbers in the log.... but 22 seems to be a bit high especially with ppl claiming to get 3mA?

3g sucks more power than wifi. I had about 40mA drain in standby with 3g on instead of wifi.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I had 4ma with 3g connected (had h signal) with WiFi off...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I have just loaded eviollets kernel and loving it... the night before I lost 4% battery but last night I lost 40%... I don't blame the kernel, because in partial wake it tells me that my dialer was running for 9 hours :eek: also says the same in battery usage, dialer taking up 15%, all while I was a sleep...? :confused: anyone else had this or know why its happening?
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
eviollets seemed fine, but just couldn't make 48hrs. Recharged to test it all again.

[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
im trying out this rom since a few days as i really wanted to have a 2.3 based rom once. while overall its pretty good i have 2 issues really annoying:

- when i set up ssl encryption for my mail accounts i get FC. (didnt happen with other roms)

- this rom is draining out my battery like there is no tomorrow. really. when i leave wlan on overnight i have 20% battery or less left. didnt happen with other roms.
[Desire Android Development] paprkut:
My phones resetting atleast once a day now. Its a pita since I have a simlock and my phones unable to receive calls etc until I have entered it.

I've uninstalled setcpu but the problem is there still.
[Desire Android Development] adrayton:
Hi,

I flashed this ROM lastnight after using DeFrost previously.

Today I began restoring my apps from Titanium but I run out of internal space before I finish restoring.

I have my SD card partitioned with 512Mb EXT and have set install location to External Media in Villain Setup.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
1. Which app? I'm using moxier mail and it runs fine

2. Try setting wifi sleep policy to never
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I have had issues with dialer in the past on this rom. Similar to the maps issue people have. Its a case of a battery pull to cure. It may disappear forever, or it could come back a little while down the line.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
1) Install location should be set to "Internal".

2) As per post #2 in this thread: download terminal emulator. Type su" and press enter. Type "a2sd cahesd" and press enter. Phone reboots. dalvik cache is moved to sd ext
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for the reply mate :) I'll have to keep my eye open on it then...

Speaking of maps, I believe that the navigation now works... :)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I know task killers are a rude word around here, but I keep my battery usage low using Advanced Task Killer. Every hour it kills everything that shouldn't be running and I no longer have this kind of issue.

Contrary to what (almost) everyone says, I feel that task killers still are useful despite Android 2.x
[Desire Android Development] adrayton:
Thank you!!

Is there a way I can move the apps I've installed?

I downloaded 2d gallery from villain ,I want to restore my old gallery.?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Grab old gallery's APK (Gallery3D.apk) from ROM ZIP file and push it back to /system/app, after remounting it as r/w.

Then clear Gallery 2D's default action in Settings->Applications.
[Desire Android Development] bockas:
Hi all,

i have a little question,

installed 0.9 and everything works fine, eg the battery life.

I read that some of you uses EViollet's Kernel and have now good battery life.

When i install the kernel my phone reboots every few minutes.

With the "standart" Kernel and the 0.8 from villain setup my phone works fine, just the battery drain.

Does anyone have a idea?

thanks

Marco
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Which version did you try? HAVS or SVS?
[Desire Android Development] bockas:
i tried the "ManU-1.1-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS.zip",

that's the one which the most users have nad works fine for them.

should i try SVS?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Maybe HAVS doesn't work for your phone. The standard GV kernel is SVS. It should work better for you.
[Desire Android Development] bockas:
Ah, ok

i will give it a try

thanks for the fast reply

greetings

Has anyone encountered issues with dungeon defender and GingerVilain 0.9 ?

I'm currently stuck at splash screen so maybe it's just a dungeon defender problem with gingerbread (I currently haven't try any other 2.3 rom).

I haven't found anything in this tread

I've try to reinstall from market, delete cache, remove files game but no change.
[Desire Android Development] Jwtiyar:
Thank you but I can't find gallery 2d in manage application to clear default.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
it depends on the language your rom is. For me it is called Gallerij (Dutch). It's the same name as the pogram that you open to view your pictures :D
[Desire Android Development] Jwtiyar:
No I know its exist called gallery but the clear default button nit active.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
it will only become active if there's another program with the same default actions possible.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, i have reverrsed what i done to get the 2d gallery on - however, i cannot test it - so please do a nandroid before.

This should delete the 2d gallery and install the 3d gallery (will do nothing if u already have it)...
[Desire Android Development] Jwtiyar:
This button is still not exist.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can use titanium backup to move apps back to internal memory
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Which button? The .zip I uploaded removes 2d gallery and installs 3d gallery...
[Desire Android Development] Jwtiyar:
No the 2d gallery still exist,I meant this Icon that I can clear default.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Ok, this is confusing... which gallery do u want? The 2d or 3d? The button will only exist if u have both galleries installed, do u have both the 2d and 3d gallery installed?
[Desire Android Development] Crozzbow:
just switched from oxygen to gingervillain and giving it a try :)

seems very fast so far, but i also have 2 questions:

1. i cant choose the flashlight in the power control settings of the statusbar, is there a way to get it working?

2. is it possible to change the battery icon in the statusbar so it shows a percentage string? perhaps a mod that is working fine with gingervillain? i searched the framework-res.apk, but there are only the 4 standard interval-images
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Torch added fine for me tbh.

There are some posts a few pages back or so with some nice battery percentage mods. I'll see if I can find them

Toggle LED Flashlight is greyed out for me, can't check it. Have I got something missing?
[Desire Android Development] steveapp:
Great rom guys, the best i've tried so far and I'm hoping to stick with it. My only gripe is the old chestnut of battery life, but i sort of expect that anyway with custom roms, and I'm not criticising honest ;-)

My half question - half observation is that looking at the battery use a large % is display, 30% today, 26% Cell Standby and 19% Android OS etc.

But looking at the graph display - i see solid blue lines for Awake, even though screen on is showing as only occasional

Unless im mis-understand this my phone is doing things in the background all the time.

I've switched off my exchange push but not sure what else is possibly causing this - i cant see mention of this in the thread (please shout at me if i missed something theres a lot of pages to read / search through ;-)

I have Advanced Task Killer running to kill most things off every hour - not sure what else might cause it - i've got the following sorts of things installed if anyone recognises a hog (not always running mind)

Flash Player 10.1

Amazon App

Astro

Call Meter NG

Dropbox

Evernote

Facebook

Goggles

Google Sky Map

IMDb

Layar

Maps 5.1

Sky +

Weather Channel

Twitter

Cheers and thanks if anyone has bright ideas :-)

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Actually its greyed out for me too, but I have it selected. I moved from defrost 6.1 where I had torch selected. I moved with no data wipe so perhaps this has just carried through from there.

Hmmm
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You should have spare parts in your app drawer. if not download it. Set Battery usage (or maybe its "other usage") to "partial wake" and see whats keeping the phone awake.

Okay after running 0.9 for a while without SET CPU and it runs flawlessly.

Now after installing SET CPU i get problems with connecting to HSDPA & 3G, i was in the square mile today in central london and had NO wirless internet via my network when my other phone had full.

Not only this genrally SET CPU slows down the whole operation of the phone even when set to on demand.

It also seems to cause the battery to drain faster than with no set CPU ! and Richards 0.8 SVS + CFS 1113Mhz

Anyone else have this ?

well, u go to the villian setup and go to the last tab, then click on the circle or percentage battery and install it, then it asks for reboot, it reboots and u r done ! OR to be safe either make a backup first or when it asks u to download or install, just download it, then boot in recovery mode and get a backup first then install it :)
[Desire Android Development] steveapp:
That helped a lot and I think i know the culprit, maps 5.1, that came out recently and has latitude built in. i hadnt noticed but either by default or accidentally with my playing automatic checkin was enabled and maps was running constantly.

i also enabled the never sleep for wifi as my office has rubbish phone signal, and these things talk a lot on the web so are always trying to suck data

i can see the gradient on battery usage is only about half as steep now, and the blue line is no longer solid under the awake section so im hopeful :-) early days of course, a full days use tomorrow should tell.

[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
I had profiles et for charging via usb and via mains and while screen off.

these where all low settings overall so that when i had it on charge or in my pocket while going about my work battery drain was very low.

Then when the phone did not conform to these profile sit was set to on demand.

However it resulted in worse battery, and dodgy connection to google services and HSDPA / 3G.

So i'd assume it has something to do with how gingerbread manages applications running / on demand usage on the CPU.

I can't tell you the setting exactly because i removed it.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No problem.. I have edited the file (all on my phone through astro, that's a good app ;)) and it now deletes the 2d gallery and installs the 3d gallery...

Shutter Sound Mute

Ok the important battery life issues are solved, now for the silly trivial question. I would like to quieten or mute the camera shutter - whenever i try to take photo of the dog it jumps a mile at the shutter sound :-( I dont want to mute the whole phone just to do this, the stock desire photo app has a mute shutter option, is it hidden in there somewhere im not finding or is there a hack I can apply somehow ?

Cheers once again

[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
I know you said you don't want to silence the whole phone, but if it only scares the dog just put the phone into silent mode and re-engage it after if you want to make photos of the dog without scaring it.

i sence your after some up skirt stealth photos :P JK personally your taking a hike up a mountain to solve a problem when there is an easy fix, unless you do have an agenda :P

[Desire Android Development] steveapp:
LOL definitely no agenda, the shutter is a bit too much - I know what you mean about silencing the whole phone - suspect I would forget to turn it back on again and miss calls etc

It's trivial in the grand scheme of things - not worth the hassle if its not a simple setting or flag somewhere anyhow..

Thanks anyhow

[Desire Android Development] hutzdani:
It appears its a form of legislation regarding shutter sounds ( http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR00414:@@@L&summ2=m& ) see here for further details.

I'll quote this part tho

"Prohibits such a phone from being equipped with a means of disabling or silencing the tone"

People have been asking for options to shut off the fake shutter sound son professional cameras DSLR's, so i'd imagen if we could find the audio file and replace it with a blank copy it could be done, but as the legislation by some law ( akin to the Volume limiter on EU mp3 players enforced by sony / apple / EU ) i geuss were not going to get away with it really

Sorry if its OT.
[Desire Android Development] steveapp:
The legal world sneaks up on us all, though it doesnt work if you have a mute all, or i guess plug headphones in.

Think i will investigate swapping out the sound file for something a bit less jarring, the video one is just a gentle beep which might work out better for example.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Easy doing...if you are s-off

- use root explorer or super manager

- navigate to /system/media/audio/ui

- the first file is called camera_click.ogg

- delete it or just rename it (for example to camera_click-a.ogg)

and if you are not s-off

- use adb

- adb rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

and if you can't handle this, plug in your headset...
