You can move the dalvik-cache to ext if you want:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

(your phone will reboot after this command and recreates the dalvik-cache on ext)
[Desire Android Development] RyLoS2000:
Just installed 0.8 after a full wipe but stuck on splash logo. Stalled...

(I've 1gb ext4 partition).
[Desire Android Development] cboard:
I've just upgraded from 0.7 to 0.8 and installed the VillianMod for the new Market. However, the market can't download anything it goes into the notification and then clears and nothing gets installed. Other than that great ROM.
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
It worked (available internal storage 128MB)!

Thanks a lot!
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
Unable to download a lot of apps. 0.7 & 0.8 have had this with and without a wipe. Any ideas?

Sent from zombie infested Gingerbread
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Try downloading it again (use filemanager to remove the GingerVillain0.8.zip from /sdcard/defrostsetup first)

Sounds like a corrupt download
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
yeah I'm at this point too.

I have a 1 GB FAT32 partition, containing an EXT file setup as a loop device.

Worked fine on 0.7. Going to redownload from home and edit using a non beta version of WinRar just in case.

Hi,

Same here, Small Apps download works, big Apps dont work.

[Desire Android Development] spymare:
is 0.8 more stable than 0.7? because 0.7 was extremly unstable.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It will be hard to tell. 0.7 was stable as hell for me. As for many others. Just have to try it.
[Desire Android Development] slhaarsma:
Wow, camcorder, market all working; seems like a really great ROM already!

With a previous version I noticed Navigon is not working with this Rom, neither through restoring or through a complete new install.. Is there a possiblility that it does work with this GV version?

and if it doesn't, do you expect it won't be working in the coming CM gingerbread version?

I really love this navigation software, therefore I'm asking..

Cheers and thanx in advance!
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Installed some minutes ago, and it is completely stable here. No FCs, market works fine (both stock and the new version)...

For me, it is totally recommended. Basically I think that it is the best GingerBread ROM and I don't think that it needs any more additions.

But if you read, you'll see that there are still some users with Market problems.

In my oppionion, all you have to do is just try it. If you have no Market problems, then you'll be very satisfied!
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
after installing 0.8 I have lost a lot of internal storage.... I suspect it is due to the new a2sd script? I've only got abt 6mb left :S any solutions?

No hang at splash screen when you flashed?

Whats your SD card set up etc?
[Desire Android Development] jbozic1:
Same problem here,on ver 0.6 100mb free and now 34mb free on internal store...
[Desire Android Development] spymare:
just installed 0.8, seems to be much more stable than 0.7 :)
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
I had only one problem which was finally fixed thanks to richardtrip. I use the stock SD Card (SanDisk 4GB C2), having one FAT32 partition (3.5GB) and one ext3 (512MB).
[Desire Android Development] eduardo1969:
Reboot In recovery when your battery is full , reset battery state, en use it until its empty and shutdown by itself.....
[Desire Android Development] Shaizer:
If you have lost around 60-70mb internal storage in new update that means you have to move the dalvik cache to sd in adb
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Really not healthy for li-on batteries.

Do I need PC to use adb,I downloaded some emulator and on adb shell I get message permission denied
[Desire Android Development] friedkimchi:
A2SD is weird

A2SD seems weird on this rom:

On my previous rom, Oxygen Froyo Stable

Internal space free: 44 MB

A2SD free: 85 MB

Now after doing clean wipe of everything, installing this rom, plus restoring with titanium.

Internal space free: 22 MB

A2SD free: 310MB

I had to skip over ALOT of apps while restoring.

Does anyone know why this is? Different A2SD script?

Other than that, this rom is sexy as hell.

Edit: I did select the option, Force to same location in Titanium.
[Desire Android Development] CJ900RR:
The phone/battery has a protection circuit that prevents it from discharging completely. No problem in other words.

My phone always shuts off it self when 7-10% of the battery is left.
[Desire Android Development] Shaizer:
I think you can get Terminal Emulator from market but haven't tried on this rom yet, when you do install it you type:

Nvm this post just tried in terminal emulator and didnt work, you'll have to use adb on computer.
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
is there any other way to move dalvik cache to ext ?

if I wipe cache from recovery should that restore it on ext upon boot ?
[Desire Android Development] brummer101:
Same here, I have a lot less internal storage with this Apps2SD.

The applications on the SD also load a lot slower than with the old script.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
That's not true: Li-ION controllers shut down devices at approx. 5% of remaining juice, so ho harm for the batteries. ;)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
S-OFF your Desire, flash Data++ HBOOT (MD5: 7db14ed41e5237f59dfb067febf0a8a5) and forget any storage space issue (you'll have as much as 250MB of free memory). ;)
[Desire Android Development] jbozic1:
This is great,now i have 60mb more internal free space,so everybody with this problem:

1. download terminal from market

2. Type su

3. Allow when superuser asking for permission

4. Type a2sd cachesd

5. Phone will restart,after that restart again manual if needed.

Thanks Shaizer
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well its a sliding scale. The lower the voltage, the worse for the battery it is. the chemical design means that the more charge (ergo the more "movement" inside), the better it is for the battery. It needs to keep moving. The lower the voltage, the less movement, the unhealthier it is.

I did this to a replacement deisre battery I had and it never worked properly again and that was at the usual cut off point.

Also, does anyone know how well the auto shutdown dismounts the data partition?
[Desire Android Development] bbathome:
App drawer - only some apps appear

0.8 installed with wipe and restored everything with Titanium. Did the adb for appsd - now it works.

But I had a similar issue with 0.7: Sometimes when moving to the app drawer (using Launcher Pro) it is empty or only some apps do appear. After a reboot or moving to other launchers and back it is okay for some time.

Any idea why?

And of course: THANKS to Richard for this great ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
Well my info matches yours. I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT

It works now. :-)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
from a terminal client or with adb:

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

(reboot is automatic)
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
yes, I already did it from terminal following this instructions

BTW 0.8 is working great for me... fast, smooth and stable, no fc issues whatsoever.

[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
Try ConnectBot, you can get it from the Marketplace.

Then run the commands knocking around from the previous posters.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
Richard, what about those sound notifications? DeFroST has more options =/
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
What was the reason that LauncherPro acts sluggish when zooming out to view the other desktop panels?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
You have a problem with your dalvik-cache (it can't create anything becasue there is no more space). You can try a2sd cachesd to let it recreate from a terminal or do a proper wipe before you flash).
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Hi Richard,

0.8 is lots better, everything is working!

For anyone that want to use adfree, there is a working version up in Villain Setup (fixed by PaulOBrien). Don't forget to uninstall your current version before you flash.

Richardtrip, do you know if the oxygen HBOOT (90 MB) from alpharev will fit the rom???
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
One thing found which doesn't work is long press back to close app, or do I have to enable it?

Love this ROM!

But I have a question.

Why is it that when twitter is installed I can't ad the widget to my homescreen.

All programms I install dont appear in the widget list.

Is that a know bug?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Would like to run 0.8 with data2sd. With other roms inc 0.7, I just remove the a2sd script, update busy box and put in my data2sd script

However, doing that I.get stuck on splash.

Is there something else I need to do?

I.also removed the update script and binary script. Substituted 0.7 script.

With a full wipe I get error:

Can't chown/mod data/app, directory doesn't exist (or something similar) error at line 9
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Nope... At least I was not.

Here's what worked fro me...

1. Download from the Market "ConnectBot".

2. Open it (choose local)

3. Type

Your phone will then reboot and then if you go to check your internal storage, you'll see that the available amount is much bigger!
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
Nice ROM, works fine, stable. Didn't have any A2SD or market issues whatsoever.

Unfortunately, it feels slower than CM 6.1.1 and DeFroST 6.1a. Moreover, two tests in Quadrant display FPS values on an empty black screen, total Quadrant scores are approximately 200 (compared to DeFroST 6.1a) and 300 (compared to CM 6.1.1) points lower.

Back to DeFroST 6.1a for now.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:

GPS locks just fine with this rom. Do you use GPS status? If not, download from market and wipe GPS stats. Someone gave me this tip and it really helps. I'm getting a fix in about 10 to 20 seconds now...

Good to hear you found the trouble maker!
[Desire Android Development] woodyblade:
Have to agree with most others that battery life is good and the best I've had for a while, going down by 1% an hour with Wifi on and a weak 3G signal about 1-2 bars (unless it switches back to 2G) usually 2-3% before and about 1% for every 2-3 mins of use probably a bit more if I had a better 3G signal in my area this being roughly same as before.

Only thing I have found that doesn't work for me is Juicedefender, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it then run it through setup but it seems to force close when it gets to that network part 2nd or 3rd line in the setup, possibly to do with this network location problem?

Other than that I haven't found anything else that doesn't work, obviously aside from the video recording which I don't really use much anyway

Another thing to say, is it just me (think someone else mentioned this earlier) but I love how the screen turns off now, sort of reminds me of how some old CRT TV's turned off, or at least thats how I remember them turning off.

Be donating as well because at least we get 2.3 earlier (if at all), than HTC can release it officially, got 2.2 about 2-3 months before HTC released the update, wonder if HTC will release it at all for the Desire or how long it would take them if they do.
[Desire Android Development] DonTron:
Hi..

Copilot works fine for me but next thing i miss is to disable 3g with a widget like switchpro or beautiful widget..any suggestions? ?

[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
That's because the app has to support it (angry birds does for example). If it doesn't you can still force it (look at the 2nd post in the defrost thread).
