I don't know when this feature will be back again.

But here's a little workaround to enable lockscreen gestures again with latest GV.

- download both attached *.zip files

- reboot into recovery

- flash CMParts1.4.zip

- reboot and create your lockscreen-gestures

- reboot into recovery again

- flash CMParts.2.2.zip

- reboot

- enjoy, 'cause your gestures will work even though the option is gone in CyanogenMod settings

Another nice side effekt is, that all your gestures will be available after updates as long as you don't wipe data.

This means, you have to do this steps just one time.

And if you don't need the latest CMParts-features you can also stay with 1.4 version.

However, i hope it will be a little help.

Normally it's not a Problem with this Kernel.

I have flashed yesterday this combination and it runs still fine.

Is it possible the device only wake with the Trackball?

No longer with the Power button...

I have searched a mod for this, but I don´t find anything...

but, is it possible the Unlockscreen switch to Lefthand unlock?

Standard now we wipe to right for unlock.

Alternate possible wipe left for unlock?

[Desire Android Development] street675:
updated GV without wipe between, but my phone did slow down after a few days and sometimes totally hangs, had to pull out the battery and restart.

so i decided to do a full wipe before upgrading to 2.2 this weekend.

All going smooth again , until today already had first reboot.

Still on stock GV kernel. didn't doing anything special.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
I have a question i was wondering about, but can't find an answer to yet.

Some phones support SRS boosting (like the Incredible S) Is this something that comes with the ROM, or is additional hardware needed.

If it's the first, is it possible to get this on this ROM?

Yet again, thanks for your great work Richard. Still loving it, and more then when i switched to it on 0.4 :D

[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Oh no.... Not the battery again.....

Age old post I know but just wondering.....

My current set up is :

Radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

Kernel: 2.6.35.8-ManU-1.4-GB-HAVS-CFS

Ril: 2.2.1003G

Is there a suggested Kernel for my set up? I think it's the only thing I haven't changed yet and my battery is a little worse since flashing the new Ril and radio.

Thanks for the help everyone.

EDIT: Just plugged into my pc to flash the HAVS-AXI-CFS Kernel and noticed my usb debugging is also not working? Well, there is no notification that it is working.

Re-Edit: Keep trying the search also but seems like everthing tech is just on the fritz for me today. I get "search feature unavailable"

Re-Re-Edit: So apparently the Ril wasn't playing nicely with my phone. New radio in place, Stock Ril and going to flash new Kernel....

[Desire Android Development] andy46:
Hi All!

Firstly a big thanks to the GingerVillain team this Rom is very smooth and responsive, and will be updating to 2.2 when i have a chance.

The only thing im confused with, is what is the recommended set up?

I have been scanning through the thread and there seems to be lots of mentions of different kernels and radios, and i wondered what is the recommended set up, is the way the 2.2 comes the ideal set up or is there a combination of settings?

Im fairly competent user and have never really had problems installing etc.....i just lack full knowledge of what kernels exactly do etc.....

[Desire Android Development] stueyboy:
Anyone tried Navigation with v2.2 yet? I tried it todau and it worked fine on the way out but just couldn't get google maps to find directions for the way back. I noticed that on the way, I was still on wifi before I set off. The directions worked on wifi but not on mobile networks.

I've reverted back to v2.1 and it works both ways. Just wonder if it is just my setup or if anyone else has noticed it. (Can't get search to work so sorry if it's been covered). current setup same for each version.

Kernel

So does this mean that the New Ril might have issue with the stock Kernel or is this a known issue to not be able to usb connect with that Ril? Unfortunately XDA won't let me search right now so....

Does anyone know if the leaked Ril has those same issues and does the camera function with that? I thought I remember reading the camera didn't work with it.
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
So in my infinite noob form I ask, is this all the Kernels via villain setup or one in particular? Also, what is the "WiFi PM_Fast Module"?

Thanks and once I get some cash and my daughters don't need a new Barbie or whatever I'll be donating ;) Your work and this RoM are stellar man!
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Just a question, it's not the first time I have an application that suddenly stop working, forced to uninstall and reinstall. This time, it's the flash plug in and the xda premium app... And sometimes, an app just disappear... Do you have the same things?
[Desire Android Development] clarionero:
Hi. Error installing the wifi module update. Syntx error.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
If I install the last updated kernel, do I have to install also the wifi module?
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Ditto

What he said...
[Desire Android Development] Notronic:
I have the same problem. The second kernel part (WIFI) shows me an error...
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I know the size of the dalvik cache is dependent of installed apps, but what is the approximate size? Or how can I check it? I think the system is more stable with dalvik in internal but I have only 88mo free. Is it enough?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Need to check tomorrow. Just reflash the 2.2 kernel for now.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I think mine was 60-70 MB last time I looked, with ~130 apps installed. So it should fit, but will leave you short of space.

If you are S-Off (edit: which I see you are) you have more options here. After repartitioning my internal memory (Bravo-Sense table in my case) I did try running with dalvik on internal for a little while, but to be honest the only difference I noticed was that I had less free internal space, so I moved it back to sd. But I've no problem with system instability in any case.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Ok thanks! And how did you look at the size of dalvik?

Edit : for those who want to know :

#su

#du -hsc /data/dalvik-cache
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Don’t think so, unless you’re encountering wifi problems
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
From terminal emulator?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
No, it is already compiled in the kernel.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
You can check the kernel's configuration y looking at the /proc/config.gz file.

It will show you all the compilation flags used for the kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Ummm,

anyone can confirm any important battery Drain caused by callrecorder in latest GV releases? Maybe was only temporal on my system
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
This command returns two numbers. For me:

512 /data/dalvik-cache

512 total

What does this mean? Simply that there is 512mb allocated, or that it none is currently being used?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Yes, probably because your dalvik cache isn't there
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Try /sd-ext/dalvik-chache Probably your Cache is located there :D
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
82M /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

82M total

So where is my dalvik? :D

According to Apps2SDGUI, it's on SD-EXT. My Internal Memory keeps running down to zero, maybe this is linked.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
That is the amount of dalvik that your phone has. Mine is 66.7mb which seems correct.. yours does seem large though... how many apps you have?
[Desire Android Development] jult:
OK, so how do I best update from GV 2.1 to the current version, without losing all my logins and contacts?

By the way, I seem to lose facebook and twitter logins every few days with this rom, is that normal? Second, the A2SDGUI does not seem to work, that is to say, it doesn't activate what I set it to do, keeps returning to its old settings.

Another problem is with the CPU settings (under Performance) I experience the same. I can't set the minimum to 128 MHz, and other changes in that window aren't taking place either.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Easiest way to update is to flash. the Rom over the top if the current gv2.1 Rom, this should work, but take a nandroid first.. you could try to back up apps with titanium backup and the messages and contacts with mybackup root, a free app on the market...

I don't have either Facebook or Twitter, but apparently that is normal with this Rom.

What are you trying to do in the app2sd app?

Again, the CPU settings under performance don't seem to change anything... search xda forum for setCPU.. it will help you undet/over clock...
[Desire Android Development] jult:
By the way, in case anyone does not know, you can easily use K-9 Mail and drop the Gmail.apk and E-Mail.apk from /system/app/ in the rom prior to flashing, so you can have Unified inboxes and all your mail in one app. Way more options and useful settings too. K9 is really much MUCH better as an e-mail app than all the others.

Responsive dev. team as well. When I asked for dark background with light text/font they implemented that in 2 weeks time.
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
Installed the latest image. Everything is working perfect. I would like to format my SD card. Would everything still work normally after the format?
[Desire Android Development] Kingdavid7:
I saw that rt just reposted the wifi module. It installed successfully and Wifi works :)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
True, almost forgot about it :-)
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
Ok. I have now a serious problem. I can't connect to my ad-hoc network. Like DHCP on my pc doesn't work. It keeps giving me waiting to get ip address error.

Anyone with similiar problem?
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
What is the exact function of the wifi module?

Harald
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's WiFi driver, if it's not present (or it's not compatible with system/hardware) you will loose wlan functionality
[Desire Android Development] jult:
It did, the Update simply updated and did nothing more, or less. Nothing else changed, although I have a feeling that it boots faster now.

Thanks! Didn't know that app, it's great, wonderful. It even allows me to restore only facebook and twitter app settings so I don't have to re-enter my login-data everytime it asks me to ;-)

Was trying to set Dalvik cache location, but it seems that now it does work and is already set to SD-EXT :-)
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Millions. 150 ish I think.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I've just added hotmail as a label in my gmail account, so emails to both addresses come to my gmail app. No need for k9. I thought everyone did this :)
[Desire Android Development] jult:
So? You can read your gmail with a lot more comfort and config using K9-mail than with the gmail app. Whatever gmail does with your hotmail pop3 is irrelevant. I have my live mail dropped in a gmail folder as well. I see it using k9 and IMAP. With K-9 I can tell it where the live folder should appear in the folder listing, what type of sync class it should be treated with etc.
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
I haven't done this, could you run down the steps quickly if it's not mind blowingly obvious?
[Desire Android Development] killuah1337:
Are there any Themes or something like that for GingerVillain? Do the CM7 Themes work?

Once again great work from Richard and the team thanks guys....oh almost forgot, GPS lock onto sats while indoors too :)

Which kernel are you using? the stock or did you install 2.2 HAVS which is in Villian setup?
[Desire Android Development] Notronic:
Hey, I have a little problem.

I have flash the hboot: bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img

because the performance is better than a2sd.

Can I still use the Ginger Villain ROM now???

The download version from page one don´t boot, is there a download

for the CM7 Hboot or must I search an other ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
CM7 has 130 MB for /system, while GingerVillain uses slightly over 140 MB. So you aren't going to fit GV into the CM7 hboot unless you remove some stuff from the zip before flashing.
[Desire Android Development] Notronic:
I was afraid. I switch very often between different ROMS.

Then I must change of bravo_alphaspl.img before I make a nandroid restore of Ginger Villain?
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
Google Servers Question

Hey Guys

I have noticed while on this rom (GV 2.0) that while I am on wifi I tend to lose sync to google servers (icons go from green to white) somewhat often and for no reason, I have strong wifi signal all over the house. I was wondering if anyone also notices the same thing?

I came from stock froyo where the turning green icons didn't exist so I am not sure if this is a rom thing or just something that happens and is normal.

is there any apps that keep the google connection on constantly? I use Gmail for email and I use it often, thats why I am asking.

thanks for any replies.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
I don't know, but mine is green most of the time, unless I lose internet access.
[Desire Android Development] Sedat:
Using this version for a couple of days. Works great, improved battery consumption. I manage to get trough the day without regarging. Hope to recieve andida 1800mah battery next week, wondering how that keeps up. Thanxs for this rom
[Desire Android Development] Sedat:
Just one question, its seems i don't get new Widgets in the widget list when installing apps. Am i doing something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Maybe you can try rebooting, and if that doesn't help, repairing permissions in recovery mode might help.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Yeah, you are not going to be able to restore a GV nandroid onto the CM7 hboot.

Chances are that the cache in that nandroid is also larger than the CM7 cache partition, but you could get round that by not restoring the cache (using advanced restore options in clockworkmod to only restore some partitions). But there's no such work-around for system.

Questions

HI all.

After reading last 20-30 pages it seems as good, stable and efficient ROM.

My quick question is in regards to all those RIL, Drivers and Radio Issues.

Just want to confirm if i understand it correctly.

If i get the new drivers and ril signal, wifi and battery performance might improve. If not i have to play with different kernels, RILs and Radios. If that would not help re-flash rom with full wiping. Is there anything else that i might have missed? Or is there maybe a set combination of RIL&DRIVERS with KERNEL that worked with most of users. I do realize that in my case it might just not work as every phone is a bit different.

I know that the latest radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 is included in the ROM so one thing less to worry :).

Last Question is abut kernels. If the kernel is svs avx or such do i need to manually like compile them from terminal on my phone or they do that themselves after flashing through VSetup?

Thank you all in advance for any help.

King regards

Kirior
[Desire Android Development] Notronic:
Too bad, but it´s ok. Then I flash the other hboot when I want change the ROM :cool:
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Is the app installed on SD card (google way) move to internal memory and recheck...
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
Radio isn't included, that's down to the user. I believe RT is still using the 32.54 radio.
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
You don't need to recompile kernels. Just download and flash the zip as you wish. There's an app called Villain Setup in the ROM. With this app you can download and install different kernels, mods and ROM updates easily.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
This way everybody prefers some-thing else. I too prefer the GMail app for it's perfect integration with the Androidsystem ad have all my mail-accounts loaded into it. With a widget notification per label this is superb. If you want to choose k-9 that's fine, but let others to their favorites. This is not the place to advertise k-9.
[Desire Android Development] jult:
I downloaded the GV 2.2 from this thread, updated some data-files in it, removed some files (Gmail and E-mail.apk among others) and added and removed some audio in it. Then I put the rom on my SD and flashed the zip via ClockworkMod at boot.

I only wiped the cache partition before flashing with the new rom.

Kernel version is the same as it was in 2.1, see my .sig
[Desire Android Development] jult:
K-9 is just as integrated with android as the gmail app. The only difference I can find is that with the gmail app you're bound to google servers and mail accounts and basically a google slave, with k9 you're independent and free to choose. I still have a problem trusting google with all my email, I run my own mail-server.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I have a little question on the updater script. If I put some apps on the sd-ext just after the darktremor script, those apps will be installed?

In fact, I want to use custom mtd, with the smallest system part possible. So I wanna move the big apps like maps or gmail to the sd directly. Is it possible?
[Desire Android Development] sir_hc:
I want to upgrade from version 1.6 to 2.2 do I need to wipe first?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Do a nandroid backup, flash without wipe, it should work. If not, you'll have to wipe and reflash...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, very possible. The best bet would be to pm rootsu as he uses custom mtds and stripped out gv while moving system apps to data... I haven't looked into it.. infact, others do do this, so maybe wait for a reply from on of them?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
U shouldn't need to wipe, no. But just incase take back up of apps. and data, and as suggested, do a nandroid too...
[Desire Android Development] sir_hc:
how can I back up my apps and data??
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Apps I use titanium backup, and data (i.e. texts and contacts etc) I use mybackup root... both apps are on the market... :)
[Desire Android Development] vercetti:
hey,

can somebody please explain the difference between these 2 downloads:

1.) HTC-RIL_2.2.1003G

and

2.) New Drivers and RIL from leaked 2.3.3

the first download can be found in the RIL thread here on desire forum.

the second download is from a link in post #8020 and can be found here:

http://theliel.es/android/BaseBand/

(file from april 20)

my questions:

- is the RIL in the second file the same as the RIL in download 1?

- what are the drivers included in the second file? i thought the RIL file IS the driver? what kind of drivers are included in the second download? what are they for? (the ril seems to be about 300kb and the drivers about 1.5mb)

thx for your help,

greetz,

v.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
This probably isn't the best place for the conversation, and to be honest I can't remember the steps - sorry! But if you Google it, I think you'll find the instructions and it's quite easy. You have to log onto your Gmail on your PC, and add your hotmail under "accounts" or something. Works nicely. :)
[Desire Android Development] MrStim:
hi, i keep getting stuck at the HTC logo during 1st boot when upgrading via villian setup or via recovery from GV.20. Any way to upgrade without backing up and reinstalling all my apps/sms.. it takes a very long time to setup again from scratch, unless im doing it the most unefficient way.

thank you,

To answer one of your questions, the RIL in the " New Drivers and RIL from leaked 2.3.3" is different from the one u posted above it. The one in this package has a different number and ends in a H.
