Does the villain team is doing anything to solve these bugs...?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Stock browser it works
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
There has been a new release every weekend for the last couple of weeks. We just have to wait and see.

I dont have the wifi bug.
[Desire Android Development] vidmas:
contacts smart dialing

can somebody tell, did smart dialing works like on sense roms? Its a question for people, who already use this rom. I try GB on my friends HTC legend, here was no possibilities to use smart dialing on contacts search.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
SU ROOT is it possible to have a bug that only comes on certain people's phones over and over again? I've fresh installed GV each time since GV 1.0 and everytime I get it?

And no you can't do smart dialing on gingerbread stock based roms. However, you can download "dialer one" from the market and voila.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Yes that is possible, it might also be a radio problem, What radio are you on? And have you tried changing it?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I don't see why not. Some desires can't handle what others can, so can't see why that isn't possible either
[Desire Android Development] aykutb:
I've been using Ginger Villain 1.6 as a daily ROM for more than a week now and there are a couple of things that bothers me.

-auto brightness is not really accurate as htc sense roms,either too dark or too bright.

-youtube widget is not working.

-notifications widget contrast is too low,therefore reading in contrast light situations becomes hard.

other than that it works very fast and stable,thank you for your hardwork.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I'm looking forward to it...
[Desire Android Development] misiu99:
You need a app for. Dialer One is very nice.
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
Go Contacts is pretty good.
[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
Just open the stock phone app and hit the search key.

Doesn't matter whether you're on the dialler/contacts tab etc, any tab will work - you'll get a search box at the top, just start typing a name and away you go.

[Desire Android Development] floyd0815:
How do I see which kernel I've installed? (HAVS/SVS)

"uname -r" or system info only tells me richardtrip-bravo...

EDIT: What's the standard one in 1.7?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
SVS is standard.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Also try GO Dialer, GO SMS, GO Contacts, GO Launcher - awesome bunch of HTC-replacement apps from our good devs in China...;)

I was on Dialer One but ditched it soon as I used GO Dialer for the first time...:D

Do you have to wipe if upgrading from 1.6 or just from different rom?
[Desire Android Development] adizz131:
Any fix on call delay when answering? If not is there an eta for this?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
No need to wipe if upgrading from 1.6, but if you have any problems a wipe is recommended to see if it fixes it.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
What is the recommended partition layout, or i dont need ext at all?
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Theres an app on the market called call delay patch

Someone said it works, installed but haven't had a call yet so don't know if it does.
[Desire Android Development] Tom163:
Can anyone tell me why when I do a reboot or power down the phone once it starts back up all the links between facebook and my contact are gone and have to redo them all :(
[Desire Android Development] adizz131:
Will try call delay patch. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] :
Is there a possibility to delete some apps from the rom on the fly(before flashing) I am till tomorrow eve without any kind of computer :(
[Desire Android Development] botellito:
What about the wifi issues me and others have...mayby they were fixed?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
There's no recommended layout. With GV unmodified, you need about 145MB for /system and you always need about 25-30MB in cache for the Market to function properly with larger apps & games.

You can either:

A) Go to alpharev.nl and select a table that meets the above requirements; or

B) Use a custom MTD layout. See here for details.

I'd recommend option B as you can set the partition sizes to suit your needs and not have excess space wasted in /system that could be better used for app storage. As a final way to optimize space you can also remove unneeded/unused apps from /system/app of the ROM zip before flashing.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I doubt it. It doesn't really seem to be a recognised problem. Sure, there are about 10 of us in this thread with it, but out of everyone running the ROM it still isn't many. I would however, LOVE for this to be either acknowledged by Richard, or better fixed :) Really loved GingerVillain :(
[Desire Android Development] teffers:
I installed it yesterday ... had around 10 calls or so and it seems no delay (it has to be noted I only had it occasionally before so fingers crossed it's fixed).
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I hope it.

It gets very much on my nerves! I think I'll try an other rom like cm7 or redux... but before I'll try 1.7...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can use "Astro" file manager from the market. Its slow, but it works. Other file managers may do this. They may be faster, I don't know. Not tried any others.

Its fine if you only want to remove a few, but it would take an age for a mass exodus.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you try to forget the network and reconnect? if not please do.
[Desire Android Development] bono2804:
Apologies starlight away if this has already been asked but I have searched through and can't find a suitable answer for GingerVillain.

Had a friend pop over the other night with his desire and he showed me different colour LED notification colours(blue, red, green, purple, and light blueish). He's achieving it with Handcent SMS and they look great. After searching the forums for other ways of doing this I haven't found anyone who is able to make it native to their ROM. I was wondering if there was anyway of doing this with GV maybe including it in the CM settings? I'd rather not have to install another piece of software just to change the colours maybe Mattmanwrx might look at using the blue LED for his Bluefrost themes? I'm using GV 1.6 at the mo but will be upgrading to 1.7 tomorrow, any ideas how I can use these different colours? Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
1.7 with Havs 2.0c works like a charme , good work Again Richard :) Thank you

Thanks. I will try this, if it is not gone with 1.7...
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Richard, I'm not exaggerating when I say this. I have tried everything wifi related I could possibly think of. So far, I've reset the hub completely, changed the wifi channel, changed the password, changed the password type, changed the password type (wpa etc), forget network and reconnect etc etc, hard reset, fresh install. Nothing works.

Then, I try Oxygen and CM7 and it's gone, wifi works flawlessly. I don't understand the problem, and it does seem to be a few of us. But please, please have a go at fixing it? :D
[Desire Android Development] MrUsta:
Updated to v1.7 and it feels fast and stable.

No Wifi issues here - it connects to my home network within 5 sec.

Thank you Richard. :)
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
It's not gone in 1.7. I just reconnected the wifi.

Hope you will have a look at it, too. Maybe i can help you with a logcat?

It won't harm if you don't have a wifi problem so i'll release so more people can test if it fixes the wifi drop problem for them.

I have one quick question, not really an issue, just curiosity:

What is the "screen switch-on animation" in the screen settings?

I know switch-off animation is that GB old TV screen off animation, but what is the screen switch on one?

(sorry 'bout my english)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Old tv on ;)

It's the same as off, but exact opposite
[Desire Android Development] :
Does this work for you? Because it doesn't for me, neither for a friend of mine.

Thanks for your answer anyway! :)

Yesterday I flashed 1.7, but I still have the mobile internet issue. I cannot activate it at the morning, have to reboot the phone... :(

WiFi works fine.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:

[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
You don't have to reboot. Either switch 2G/3G mode or turn on flight mode -> turn off flight mode.
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Regarding wifi:

I had some wifi issues on my home network (Netgear WPN824) - mainly when trying to get files larger than 1 MB the connection dropped and I was forced to restart the Desire to be able to log in again.

After I deactivated an option in the router-setup named "Erweiterte Merkmale für Übertragung mit 108 Mbit/s" (Advanced features for transmission of 108 Mbit/s) so the router doesn´t use data compression, packet bursting or other frame sizes the problem was solved. Maybe this will help somebody.

And much thanks to the dev´s for this ROM :D
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Hm, my wifi problem is, that it seems to be connected, but apps can not connect to the internet. After that it works after a few seconds...

Has nothing to do with files larger than 1 MB. What a pity...
[Desire Android Development] matttye:
Anyone having a problem where after a while windows fail to pop up?

When using the keyboard, after the phone has been on for a while and I hold down a key, the little buttons that pop up to ask which key you want to press don't appear. For example, when you hold down the dot button on the keyboard a black window usually opens up with a list of different characters you can use, but after a while this simply doesn't appear! I can still move my finger around to press the key I want, I just can't see what it is I'm pressing. The usual keyboard still dims but the popup one doesn't appear.

Also, in Astrid when I add a new task and I select "Specific date/time" it usually pops up a calendar, but when the phone has been on a while the calendar doesn't appear! At first I didn't think this was related to the keyboard issue but now I'm thinking maybe it is.

Another thing which may/may not be related (as they're all display related issues) is that after a while the address bar in both Dolphin Browser HD and the default Android Browser fails to update when I type in it. I can still visit websites, it's just that the display doesn't update to show what I've typed in - unless I force it to update by pressing inside the box and then moving the trackpad to reposition the insert caret.

All very annoying problems as the only thing that seems to fix them is a reboot! As yet I haven't managed to pinpoint whether or not it's something specific that's causing these issues. All I can say is that it seems to be when the phone has been on for quite a while.

Battery Circle Mod

I just cooked a version of the battery circle mod for Ginger Villain 1.7 in the UOT kitchen, just apply the file via a Recovery (Amon or else)...

Both versions use the working style (not full circle but dashed)

http://ul.to/q57rd2kl <- this version has the default UOT colors (blue from 72% above)

http://rapidshare.com/files/454612656/GV17circles.zip (mirror)

http://ul.to/uc9tpgip <- this version uses green instead of blue from 72% and above

Verify the md5sum of the file you downloaded matches the one in post 1. App called ManD5 from the market does the trick.

[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
An odd question regarding something I discovered on both oxygen and GV. When I get a message or missed call etc, the notification led flashes orange. Yet, when I get a facebook message, it flashes blue. Like so many other people, I would like my messages of all kind to be blue, and my calls and other stuff to be orange.

In oxygen, there is nowhere to change the led notification option. In GV, it was in settings but up to GV 1.6, it didn't work. So, how is this possible and, can I control it?
[Desire Android Development] :
@rootSU I tried it but it didn't change anything, cache still uses internal space I think, because when I clear cache using aCCleaner, it frees space on the internal memory...
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
If you're sure the file is not corrupted, reboot into recovery and flash from there. Files downloaded via villain setup are in /sdcard/defrostsetup.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
App cache (stored in /data) is different from dalvik cache. aCCleaner clears app cache, not dalvik. Post 1 says that dalvik cache is stored on internal memory by default and to move it to the sd-ext partition you need to type 2 commands using a terminal app on the phone (see post 1 for the commands). When you do them correctly the phone will reboot and your dalvik will be stored on your ext, giving you about 50 MB or so extra on /data.

If you ran the commands correctly using this rom, there's no way it wouldn't change anything.

EDIT: FYI, this issue has been mentioned countless times in this thread, and is referenced in post 1. Don't want to be mean, but a little searching and reading would help you in future.

Thanks Staggers, I did type the command several times but still got less space than on Miui for example with the same number of apps.
