If you have old hboot no it will not accept the zip hboot image.

You have 2 choises:

Do it via fastboot

Create a goldcarsd
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What you said :) I have never done it, but as said it should work. When you go into hboot you see it scan the SD card for the .zip everytime, so I would remove it after the flash is successful.

Edit: what lexxa said, I did not know this... as said, never done it.. :)
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
What about mine HBOOT - is it old? How should I test it?
[Desire Android Development] harleym:
I have the same thing happening. Any ideas? Otherwise faultless ROM
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try and see if it works, if it doesn't then fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
It worked! Everything is fine! Thx! :)
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
Give it a try. Either it will fail on cid error or it will do the job :)

Hi everyone,

After getting G 2.7, my phone's been lagging a bit, especially at the dial pad (I use TouchPal Dialer).

Dont have a lot of apps install, but definitely not as fast as 2.5.

Please advice,

Thanks,

Is there a hint there? Are you trying to send now while connected to wifi? I know that when i try to send and it fails sometimes disconnecting wifi (so the data goes over the phone network) works.

Hi,

I have an issue when trying to upgrade from 1.5 to 2.5

I have tried to install it from recovery mode (install zip from SD) or ROM manager (insall ROM from SD) but still no luck even i could see quickly "install complete"

The instal took like 3 sec :/

What is the steps i need to do in this case?

Any help would be appreciate it.

I'm using launcherpro and when I hold back button on the home screen it closes launcherpro and gv stock launcher is there. then when I press the home button it switches bk to launcherpro. I have set launcherpro as default launcher and I have prevent force close option ticked in the launcher pro option. can someone help me plz.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try clearing the data in the stock launcher2 and launcher pro and then re set launcher pro as default... the long hold of back button is to force close apps, and I do use it with launcherpro sometimes (rebuild icons, widgets etc).

I actually take out/uninstall launcher 2 before I load the Rom, and have never really used it...

Hi,

I just ran a2sd cachesd as my phone was running out of internal storage. now my phone is running unbelievably slow

Can somebody please give me an idea on how I can resolve this?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Wipe dalvik cache in recovery woo remove the cachesd flag. Or a2sd reset might do it too, can't remember. My phone has always had dalvik on SD and never faced any.problems at all. Try rebooting and see if that helps...
[Desire Android Development] dandwhelan:
Ahhh restarted my phone a couple of times and seems to of fixed it. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] davebugyi:
It happened me in previous versions - but I always delete the dalvik cahce before moving to SD and let it rebuild (it will be laggy for a while - until rebuild is finished).

I used this command : a2sd cachesdreset
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I thought it would have been the rebuild slowing it down... wasn't too sure... :)

Which radio are you using now?

I used GV 2.4 , 2.5 and 2.6 without any GPS issues.

Since 2.7 sometimes it doesn't want to work at all, not even showing the GPS icon in the status bar. After a reboot everything is ok, untill some days later when it refuses to operate again.

I'm using 2.7 on the 05.27 radio.
[Desire Android Development] ranasrule:
can Juwe_RAM_Script be used with GV 2.7 ???
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
thanks ..problem solved
[Desire Android Development] davebugyi:
Since all these requirements are present in GV - it should work.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Working here.

Can't say I've noticed any speed improvement though... but I do have more RAM available.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I was thinking that desire has enough RAM anyway, the more it uses the more apps are open (so I believe, please correct me if I'm wrong), so does this mean that the app would close quicker/earlier than normal? I've never used all my RAM and haven't ever seen it alarmingly low...
[Desire Android Development] _Balu:
I just installed the havs kernel (2.7... 900mV min - from VillainSetup) and the phone stucked at the splashscreen (tried it two times after restores). Had to restore my backup and some of my settings don't work right now :(. Therefore I have to invest a few more hours in my desire ;).

My problem is that my gmail-account is available, but the market (3) can't access it (so it says that I have to log in with an account - only a window where i can push ok). I tried to flash the market again, but it didn't work. I don't want to delete all my data and the account just to get the access to the market. Is there any way to fix it without data loss?

I just wanted to inform you that this kernel doesn't work on my device. (and if someone knows an answer to my problem I would appreciate it :D) - otherwise I would have to fix it on my own or open a new thread in the Q&A section ;)

PS: the Juwe_RAM_Script works fine here - seems a little bit smoother
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try to flash the gingervillain 2.x.zip over the top of your existing Rom, it will just overwrite the system, and nothing in data. Should restore the old market and hopefully work fine.. the reason the phone didn't boot is cos ur processor cannot handle 900mv, the solution was to flash another kernel, like the one u had on before...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
you can back up your app and data with titanium back up . then try flashing fresh install of gv rom and the 900min kernel. then restore app and data with titanium backup. obviously remember to do full wipe before installing gv.
[Desire Android Development] _Balu:
Ok, thanks. I'll try to flash the rom tomorrow. I had a 900mV kernel (it had the same name - just with 2.2) and I have got the Vipermod, therefore I've just got 800mV ;):D

I restored the apps and settings with Titanium Backup - pretty much everything worked (except the market and the "Desktop" settings)

Thank you guys. I'll try it tomorrow and give you a reply when I'm done :p.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
is the new market safe to use ?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Works fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] ENGCowboy:
Works for me, if a little bit slow. Much prefer it to the old one. Just another example of Android maturing.
[Desire Android Development] paprkut:
Right so

Seems the updates have added a few problems for me.

First up

I'm on orange in the UK. I used to be able to roam to T-Mobile automatically now I have to do it manually? Any ideas?

My connection sometimes completely dissapears in places I used to be able to get it.

My Bluetooth connection on my stereo keeps,dropping. Sometimes not connecting at all

Finally battery life seems to have gone down(alot) Alongside a sluggish feeling on my phone.

I'm running gv2.7 with svs 2.7.
[Desire Android Development] nqk:
I failed to get this GV rom to work.

The flashing was completed ok. But when it rebooted and came to the first screen where it asks to "tap on android logo to continue", I tapped but it didn't move to the next step. I could choose language, though.

What should I do?

My Desire is rooted/s-offed, Stock Hboot 0.93. Now running Reflex 2.1.7 with Sense 2.1/3.0. Sd-ext = 512MB (formatted by Rom Manager).
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
you flash GV over Reflex? Have you wiped before?
[Desire Android Development] nqk:
I was in recovery mode and saw only wipe cache, which I did. Anyway, I understand what you pointed out. Will try with wipe data etc. by digging further in the Recovery (still on 2.x).

I was afraid if the Stock HBoot was the reason as I'm still not ready with HBoot flashing. :D.
[Desire Android Development] olaxe:
Hi,

since i installed GV 2.7 and a new radio "5.17.05.23" my ringtones are random changing when i reboot my phone.

i know that its a rather common problem and there shoud be a solution in this thread. But i wasnt able to find anything.

thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
You want the full wipe/factory reset option.

Nothing wrong with 2.x recovery - I use ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 as I see no reason at all to change (with 2.5.0.7 I can flash amend scripts as well as edify, 3.x would be edify only, so why "upgrade"?).
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Using a theme chooser theme..? They change ringtones after reboot...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
my phone does not ring out loud when connected to bluetooth headset. it only ring inside the headset. can someone help me? im using gv 2.7 with manu 2.0 kernel.

Seems normal to me. When you're connected to a BT handset, it makes sense that it rings using it.

video playback

interesting function

with GV2.7 i have lost the ability to play back videos in Vplayer

RockPlayer plays it back without hesitation with SW decoding but this is quite annoying while i need to test my company's video streaming solution.

do you have any idea if this will be taken in consideration in GV2.8 or i could add something to make it work?

Using maps and other gps tools the phone reboots

Hi, I have installed the rom mentioned on post #1. when I use maps, or e.g. Co-Pilot the phone will reboot after using a GPS app after 5 min, and then it will reboot over and over. :confused: The only way to stop the rebooting process is to remove the bat. and restart. radio version = 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Is there anyone who has the same experience, and more important does anyone have a solution for this.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
it should ring out from phone speakers as well as bluetooth headset. I'm using sonyericsson mw100. it works fine with other phone I got.

hello all, i want to ask about my friend's problem who uses ginger villain 1.4. after he made a half hour call and closed it, phone suddenly powered off. now he says phone stays on hboot menu and can't do anything, and phone gets hot. he couldn't pass hboot menu. what can be the problem?
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
I can not move some games from sdcard to phone memory. Why? I got 157mb free of internal, a2sd 500mb free and 2mb free of system storage. This is because of system storage? I got cm7r2 hboot.
[Desire Android Development] nqk:
I just flash this ROM. It is fast.

It says in first post that it supports A2SD but as I checked internal storage, it doesn't show external (ext3), and only says there is 80MB left in the internal storage.

I have more with Reflex S (Sense Rom). Is it strange? What should I do to get external memory on sd card?

(stock Hboot 0.93, CMR 2.5.0.7, ext3 512MB on sd-card).
[Desire Android Development] mhkhatar:
Tried , not interested and also bored of GRAY !
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What hboot are you on? Have you changed it? Where are you getting the figures from? Quick system info is very reliable... It does include a2sd and is working.fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
If you say so. It doesn't bother me, feels logical, and I can't remember how my previous phones managed this.
[Desire Android Development] nqk:
As I mentioned earlier, it's on stock HBOOT 0.93 s-offed and 512MB ext3 as sdext (working well with Reflex S 2.1.7).

Just flashed it back just to have this screenshot with picme. :D

Note: I only a installed picme.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So yea that is probably about right.. it is using a2sd, and if you downloaded quick system info (from market) it would tell you that a2sd is is use... if not, come back and then I will troubleshoot more.. :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hmm, pretty strange. It could be a hardware failure, but with it still going into hboot you *should* be able to get into firmware.. recovery doesn't work either? Is the phone s-off? It would prob be a lot better if it was...
[Desire Android Development] nqk:
You are just right. Quick system info Pro shows A2SD is effective.

Thanks. I will use this ROM as it is so fast and 2.3.4. :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No problems... maybe think about s-off phone and change hboot to save even more space. At the moment you have 107mb "wasted" on system storage. I say wasted as you will never use it. I have 3mb left on internal, which leaves me with 127mb of free internal storage... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
but if my headset is not in my ear. my phone will not ring out loud and i miss calls.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
But if your headset is not in your ear it shouldn't be connected...? Maybe that is how Android think and configured it to be like that. It does seem reasonable.
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
my headset is like bluetooth headphones. so when i get a call my phone rings but i answer with the headset. as the headset is clipped on but the headphones aint in myear al the time. i can remember it used to work before. ill just see if it work on nxt version of gv.
[Desire Android Development] gery2123:
Hy all! I have a problem! I used a sport tracker and my phone reboot! Anybody have this problem! Please help me!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Yeah, it used to work as you say. I'm not on GV anymore (CM7 nightly), and it behaves in the same way (ringing in the heaset only), but the phone used to ring out as well, before CM7.

It's especially annoying when driving, I've got in-ear headphones and it was much nicer to stick them in only when I heard the phone ringing, now I have to keep them on all the time, otherwise I miss calls...
[Desire Android Development] SKRUTZ:
So hi,

I have a problem with internal space and tha application app2sd pro said to me when i want to move one app to sd that you dont have enough space.

so i try to move all that apps with titanium backup application and that's solved the problem.

My available free space at internal memory is 64.52MB and total is 147.62.

i dont know if that is enough for my smartphone....

if anybody has any idea to free more please shared.

Thank all of you for your time.

Hope you have enough partition for your a2sd on your SD card.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Also for hello247:

Try this... settings / cmsettings / sound / always play on speak part / and tick the boxes, ring tones especially... hopefully fix your problems... :)
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
Someone to help me? I trie from the terminal su - a2sd cachesd but nothing!!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It shouldn't be. If you have the cm7r2 you should have the large /data partition... so it should be fine. Maybe try wiping cache in recovery to remove the a2sd flag and then run the a2sd cachesd command and see if any different... maybe even a reboot and trying to move after... not too sure...
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
I will try wiping cache but i will lose my apps?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
fixed :) im suprised that it werent ticked as defaults. thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No you shouldn't if u only wipe the dalvik cache under advanced settings (i think). You can back up your apps and app data with titanium backup for safe measure... :)
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
I wipe the cache but it didn't work. I made a fresh install of the rom, it's very strange!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Cheers, mate! Can't believe I missed that setting :)
[Desire Android Development] shinrei82:
I have tried again but no sucess :/

I should wipe everything but it's quite annoying as I am in the same rom (1.5)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
There has been many changes since 1.5, including boot.img changes... maybe a full wipe would be best... backup with titanium first to keep all apps and data...
[Desire Android Development] SKRUTZ:
Thank you so much...

Now i have Total: 147.62MB and Available: 111.77MB!!!!!!!

2 Q's.

Firstly, when installing 2.7 on my desire z, it says everything went well and then has the previous rom on instead.

Any ideas?

[YOUTUBE]F9Vy69JD9Kg[/YOUTUBE]

Secondly, when using the sense 3.0, should it say HTC sense version 2.1 as well as Android Version 2.3.3?

My desire says 2.3.4
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, you are installing the zip from the first page if this thread, onto a desire z? If so, that is the problem, as this Rom is only for desire only...

Also, this is an android open source project (aosp) Rom which doesn't include sense at all... we all wanted rid of sense :)
[Desire Android Development] wtfman:
lol, that would explain it then.

I thought i found one somewhere for the Z but now I'm not sure.

The odd thing is, i tried it last night and i got a black screen with a chrome looking android logo that went into boot loop. No idea what that was.

I was hoping to migrate from having GV on my desire to having it on my DZ. I'm playing with the villain sense rom but might switch to cyanogen if it starts lagging too much.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No problem. The black screen and android writing is the built in boot animation for all Android phones and is the standard one if a bootanim is not present. Anyway, what you're looking for is probably this http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s.....-GingerVillain-1.5-(Gingerbread-CM7-Vanilla) or a couple more villainrom roms, http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php/170-HTC-Desire-Z-T-Mobile-G2 , however, not cooked by richardtrip...
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
how does gingervillain deifferentiate in features compared to cyanogenmod rom? does gv get latest cm commits which are not in the stable edition of cm7?
[Desire Android Development] noord453:
I do not know if my phone is S-off, I will check. If there is no movement with the phone, eg I am not driving the car, the maps and co-pilot app do not give any problems. After I start driving, then 5 min. later the phone starts to restart as described in my first post om page 991.
[Desire Android Development] sperrypc:
I'm downloading GV now.. Which HBOOT i have to use? Stock? CM7r2? Others? Need to have Ext3 Partition?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, cm7r2 is the best to use. You will have the most /data then... and you don't need a partition, but if you have one, it will be used for a2sd...
[Desire Android Development] Solf:
How to get rid of green status icons?

So I've decided to try migrating from DeFroST to GingerVillain (and lots of thanks to Richard for both!).

So far I'm quite liking it except for the green-tinted status icons for WiFi/mobile internet/mobile signal strength. To my personal taste these in green are just irritating.

As I understood from searching this thread, green color is supposed to indicate that 'Google sync' is working. But to tell the truth, I don't care about that (never had problems with it not working), so the green is merely an annoyance to me :(

Is it possible to make them stay normal white tint all the time?

If it requires some modding -- I do have some experience (like replacing pictures in framework-res.apk) -- I just need pointers as to what needs to be done.

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, easily done... in system/app there is a new app (with gingerbread) called systemUI which is what controls the icons colour. If you decompile the apk you will see the green icons and white. The green icons are when connected and are named the same but with _fully at the end. Copy the white picture and rename to the green picture... if that makes sense... if not pm me, I will explain.in further... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well the answer you quoted was for someone else... your problem may be heat.. maybe.the phone is getting too hot? Maybe it is a kernel issue? Have you tried and others? Does this happen on other roms too?
