What's the general consensus on whether the call delay is fixed? I'm certain I've still got the delay. Always have to say hello twice.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
um, anyone? my phone’s kinda screwed...
[Desire Android Development] Standfest:
I can confirm that, with version 0.5. Now I'm downloading 0.6.

Also is there 2 seconds delay bug fixed (2 seconds delay, doesn't hear anything, when answering calls)?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Strange, eldinnie had just made one from the uot... so guess something went wrong somewhere...
[Desire Android Development] sinkingfish:
Just flashed 0.6, coming from 0.3. Full wipe etc.

I flashed the keyboard from the villain setup. On the alt keyboard the ampersand is showing up as &amp, anyone else seeing the same issue ?

On a HTC Desire? How do u get the led working?

Each notification from my phone (From ebuddy, or twitter or something else) is not working. (Well the led..)

Any idea's?
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
Root Explorer keeps crashing upon starting it... any ideas ?

nevermind... upgrading to latest version fixed problem
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Just do it yourself, select whatever you want, upload Framework-res.apk.

Works like a charm every time
[Desire Android Development] GlumeX:
My phone keeps turning off, all random :/ anybody else have this problem?
[Desire Android Development] chrisvr4:
Can confirm email (hotmail and Google mail) led is working but in the red colour.

I didn't do anything lol just installed the rom ;)
[Desire Android Development] chrisvr4:
Where would I find the framework thingy lol
[Desire Android Development] RedFeather:
Ok, that sounds a little bit weird.

Well i checked it with my own email. And yes the led was flashing (Green colour, as normally)

But still, the notification from ebuddy was first blue. (before installing the v0.6)

And now its nothing. Is there a zip patch for it?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
in the zipfile. To be precise:

GingerVillain0.6.zip\system\framework\Framework-res.apk
[Desire Android Development] chrisvr4:
errrr ? strange as the only led that shows green is the fully charged battery lol everything else is red ??
[Desire Android Development] chrisvr4:
cheers mate but can u message me how i do it pls ? dont wana keep spamming Mr Trips thread :D
[Desire Android Development] kalaz:
To upgrade from 0.5 to 0.6 /// should I wipe factory reset ??
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
Missed Calls led is also green...

Obscured did you find an answer to this?
[Desire Android Development] KapteinKing:
To kalaz:

Don't think so.. i would try without reset :)
[Desire Android Development] mauricewal:
charging icon is green?

I am at 98% and charging is now green?

Edit:

oke its not charging at all.

When does it begin charging? at 89%?
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
I had this happen a couple of weeks ago updating to a 3.x.x.x CWM with a custom mtd. I had to go from scratch, the nandroid would not restore. Luckily TB had backed up the day before.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
the recovery is a one time only. the one you should of flashed after the update is "boot" as it patches the boot image with the new falues

what youve essentially just done is formatted system

restore nandroid backup and flash boot
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
look under villian setup, its there.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
but i updated the recovery. doesn’t this mean that the mtd partitioning has been wiped also?
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
I thought wiped, flashing recovery.zip, restoring nandroid, then boot.zip would work. But it didn't. I hope you have more success than I did.
[Desire Android Development] Airyphyla:
Good idea, was thinking about that aswell!\

how bout that Richard?
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Is it something wrong with GV 2.4?

http://xda.richardtrip.org/?dir=ginger

Available to download there but not posted here! :confused:
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
NAND backup...
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
Just bcoz it's not official release. :)
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Any changelog or date for release? Is it a beta?
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
Use Recovery, it's less likely to go wrong. Anything ROM Manager can do you can do easily yourself.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Then either use a an app to reboot to recovery and.do the backup there, or turn phone.off, hold the volume down button while turning on, this takes you to the bootloader screen (white). Then move to "recovery" with volume buttons and when.on recovery press the screen off/on button to select, this takes you to recovery, and do the same as above.

Just thinking about it, to reboot to recovery, just long.hold the on/off button and go to reboot and recovery... :)

Rom Manager has been USB bricking phones and maybe formatting SD Card...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Ginger Villain changelog:

Version 2.4:

Update to latest CM7 commits (possible audio wonk fix)

removed ROM Manager (TB stays for now)

Not a Beta, Just not officialy released.

EDIT: I took it from in in the ROM - at RT "Audio Wonk Fix" WONK? lol
[Desire Android Development] Poodlemastah:
Yes, wonking is a big issue. :P
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
First post/thread title haven't been updated, but it's now listed as an update in Villain Setup - doesn't that make it "official"?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Send me a device and i make one :-)
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Will try for next update (if i don't forget).
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
This is the 'call delay' bug? Has this been fixed for definite? As if it is, I still reckon I'm getting delay on certain calls.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well it says it is, and I think it has gone for me.. Its a strange one though...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I guess it does... but OP/Thread Title was updated while you were typing I think... ;)
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
After a few days testing I can absolutely confirm it's not working for me :(

Maybe next weekend...

Oh, btw MM do you still have call delay patch from the market installed? Maybe it's the combination of both?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Lol, I never installed it... didn't feel the need too ;)
[Desire Android Development] hightoohigh:
Yep seems that the updates doesn't change that much from one version to another. I wouldn't mind if the updates would be released every two or three weeks but than with a bunch of improvements.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
Call delay still there for me.

I've got pretty huge battery drain using 2.4 and the same 2.2 svs cfs kernel I was using before. Looking at the change log there's no reason why this should be happening. Only other thing I've changed is installing bluefrost, seems unlikely this could cause battery drain either.

Back to 2.3 for now.
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
I tried to install the addblock for S-On.

But CW recovery (3.0.0.5) refuses to flash the .zip because it was created with Amend scripting. It says to use Edify scripting.

RT, could you update the addblock.zip?
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Damn, this is such a tiny bug, but it itches so much!

Well, I guess I'll still be answering my phone with: Hello.....HELLOW!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, I have updated the file to Edify scripting, plus I added the most recent host file (from mvps) - Tested and it flashed fine, but i already have ads blocked, so not too sure if it works properly... try it! :)

New file didnt work... reverted to old one (which i think was the same file anyway)... but now is working for all... I might try one thing though...!

EDIT2... Tried the new thing... Downlaoded the newest hosts files through the ad blocking app.. took the new hosts file from my phone to the computer, and then chucked in the latest hosts file... All is working now, and up to date!! :) - So the 1 person who downloaded it, maybe try this newer version...?
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Will GV2.4 work with a CM7 HBOOT?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Nope, not unless you strip the Rom and remove some apks, orI've them to data/app...
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Wish i had the skills to make a CM7 version of this awesome ROM, as i am using a CM7 HBOOT and i prefer GV over CM7 but i guess if i feel the AOSP need i just have to flash the stock HBOOT back.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
You're not forced to install every single release (:
[Desire Android Development] x01a4:
well thank you for that, good sir! :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
This rom is based on CM7, it is CM7 but with added features... You can fit it on CM7 Hboot... just take out some apps, and place them on data/app (take up more internal space, but you'll have less /ssytem space so it will fit...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
too true... I loaded GV on my friends phone, and last weekend was his first update... He was on 1.0 for like 2 months, and has just gone to 2.2 or 2.3, i cant remember which i done...! :)

No problems, always here to help!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
As Matt's said, with a bit of work you should be able to fit it in.

But if not, there's still no need to go to the stock HBOOT - the Bravo Sense table is more than big enough, and still gives you 70 MB more /data than Bravo Stock.
[Desire Android Development] ahac85:
Hi i would like to know if the attached script would work in gv if placed in etc/init.d which is taken from cm7 to bind the cache partition if small to cache\download? i dont really want to change hboot as i have too many apps install and changing hboot means losing several apps, i really want to move to gv...any help would be appreciated
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Large Hadron posted about this a couple of days ago... if you look through the last few pages of the thread there is discussion on how to get it working... I think... :)
[Desire Android Development] ahac85:
not quite done yet...guess ive just wait untill someone finds a way
[Desire Android Development] friedgoldmole:
Turning off the 'old tv style' screen on and off animations seems to have stopped the unlock problem for me.
[Desire Android Development] sergmeister:
The data++ hboot works as well imo I think its best hboot for this rom atm
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Is everything ok with this hboot considering /cache size?

[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
Yeah, I lost gmail and YouTube, had to redownload from market, got to sort the FCs after installing.
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
No call delay for me and great battery life over 2 days since last charge with 29% remaining so no complains with GV2.4 once again great work from Richard.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I'd be interested in the answer to this - and if it is OK, what have you done?

It's rather hectic for me at the moment, so not been able to spend much time with this problem. Had a brief play this evening, but not got it working yet. I should probably load CM7 or Redux to see what's different, but may have to wait a few days.

But if anyone who's familiar with the linux mount command wants to investigate, you'll earn a lot of kudos if you can work this one out :D
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
No call Delay :-)
[Desire Android Development] psycho_nr_1:
For me call delay is gone too ;)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
i think call delay is also gone...

any1 noticed issues with lockscreen settings gone after flashing 2.4?
[Desire Android Development] jkissane:
That's fixed it for me as well, turning off trackball wake & changing the SetCPU screen off profile made no difference.
[Desire Android Development] koegs:
Hm, Random Reboots for me.

What should i install?

1. -> GV 2.4

2. -> Leaked Drivers 2.3.3 (still necessary?)

3. -> Radio ROM (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08)

4. -> RIL (HTC-RIL-2.2.1003G)

5. -> ManU Kernel 1.4 HAVS AXI CFS

Thx for your help.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
That setup has worked well for me.

Maybe your minimum voltage levels are too low for your phone? You can adjust these yourself - see the EViollet thread, but the method is the same as for the GV kernels.
[Desire Android Development] koegs:
Did not change the Voltage Levels by myself.

Maybe i will give it another try the next days, for now 2.3 is ok and i need the phone. :)
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
I was having random reboots once a day. Updated my radio to 5.17.05.23 two days ago. No reboots since then.

IMO you can skip the leaked drivers.
[Desire Android Development] koegs:
What RIL are you using?

Skip the leaked drivers because they are already integrated?
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
I'm using HTC-RIL_2.2.1003G

I suggested to skip leaked drivers because I tried for a week and didn't felt anything better.

Here is Theliels's post about the drivers:
[Desire Android Development] lagu805:
how do you actually "unzip and repackaged" the ROM?

I've tried that, deleting some system apps and then zip it again.

however, it cannot be flashed, got some kind of errors

do i need to sign it? :)

thanks for the reply .. love the ROM
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
Do not unzip, just remove/add files directly from the zip (by using winrar or some other zip software). Then flash with signature check off. Resign not necessary.
[Desire Android Development] Guizzoni:
My phone is freezing on boot.

I did a full-wipe and then installed 2.4.

Here's the logcat:

Someone help!
[Desire Android Development] koegs:
Ok,

skipped the drivers, installed latest Radio and mentioned RIL + ManU Kernel.

Looking good so far.

BR,

koegs
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I can't really read what is happening in the logcat, but have you edited the rom in any way?

And what hboot are you on?
[Desire Android Development] Guizzoni:
No, i downloaded the ROM, checked the md5 then wiped and flashed.

I'm currently using AlphaRev CM7 (HBOOT-0.93.1000)
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
AFAIK CM7 hboot will not be enough to flash GV. Use another or custom data table.
[Desire Android Development] Guizzoni:
May i use the data++ one?

If not, which one do you recommend?
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
I'd recommend to use Bravo Sense or Bravo Stock depends on your needs. I use stock I guess. (I've been using one of them for long time. Can't remember which one I'm using now. :) )

edit: checked, i'm using stock table. :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'm using n1, and it works well for me... still use a2sd, and can move my dalvik to /cache and save loads of space...

And yes, gv won't boot on cm7 hboot (which is why I asked, as I suspected they was using cm7 ;))
[Desire Android Development] Poodlemastah:
Is wifi-N supposed to be working? I've had some troubles trying to get it to work.
[Desire Android Development] clarionero:
phone reboot when usb connect

Hi.

When i try to connect my Desire by USB, the phone reboot. Any solution for this issue? This is not only for the last 2.4 ROM. Also with 2.3 and previous.

The other times the solution was format and reinstall.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, it should work...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
This is strange.. maybe try unmounting the SD card and seeing.if it does it? What is your setup? Are you using any a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Well, found a few minutes to investigate the mountdl script, and got to say it's not not becoming any clearer. Observations:

* GV puts market downloads straight into /cache, not /cache/download. This is true even if the /cache/download directory exists at boot time.

* If I create such a /cache/download, and change its ownership to system.cache, then the moment I try to download a market app it is deleted! It must be an rmdir command, since putting a file in the directory stops this happening.

The first observation suggests that even if the mount script worked, it wouldn't be enough (unless there's just something unusual about my market installation?). The second is just plain odd, but not encouraging either, and not something I'm going to decipher just by looking at some init scripts.

So I'm becoming increasingly unhopeful about working this one out.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
how should it work when the phone doesnt have wifi-N ?
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Kind of an off-topic question:

Before I root my phone, I de-branded my phone by using gold card from my SD card and I suppose it de-branded my phone. (I didn't check it though). But how can I make sure that my phone is de-branded ? My phone is locked to telus and I want to use to with other carriers.

thnx :)

update: Actually I put Rogers sim-card in my phone and it said no service, ad asked for the sim unlock code. So how can I unlock or de-brand my phone now ? thnx
[Desire Android Development] lagu805:
thanks bro ^^
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
To unlock your phone to use any service provider you can use one of the many unlocking service that can be found by using google such as this one:

http://www.unlocktotalk.com/CellPhoneUnlockCode.php

There may be some which says they are free but don't be surprised if you end up with a bricked phone if you try using a free unlock service.
[Desire Android Development] vofh:
Have you got a ext partition on the sd card and if you do is it before or after the fat partition?

You need to have the ext4 or ext3 partition after the fat32 partition for the system to work without issues.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
As I've mentioned before, Defrost had it... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690477 so why wouldn't gingervillain... also, some has confirmed it is working in the thread earlier on....
[Desire Android Development] dannylill1981:
ignore what previous response said, you can unlock desire for free from these forums

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943726&highlight=unlock

you also seem to have de-branding mixed up with sim-unlocking they are 2 different things, de branding removes all the nasty operator customizations to the os, by allowing you to flash a "blank" os. Sim unlocking allows other carriers sims to be used in your sim locked phone.
[Desire Android Development] dannylill1981:
this is innacurate, if you had searched the forums you would have seen that weve had a free solution for a while now(since february this year)

Do I have to do full wipe even do I currently have GV 2.2?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No wipe is needed from older gv versions...
[Desire Android Development] nvivas:
Hello all,

Exchange stopped working with 2.4

Rolled back to 2.3 and it works fine.

Any news about this issue?
[Desire Android Development] traderjean:
Dont want to ruin Richards good job, but after months of using GV, I moved to InsertCoin and battery much better, wifi reception "doubled" (with same radio). Just saying its worth a try.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
The problem is that you're comparing two TOTALLY different things.

Battery better

: not surprising for 2 reasons. 1. GV kernel is 2.6.38 based. InsertCoin is 2.6.35 based. You would have seen better battery performance by using a 2.6.35 kernel on GV.

2. Fresh ROM install. After some time, playing around with a ROM, it tends to get "bloated" and you'll end up with apps eating up the battery. A fresh install ALWAYS gives better results in terms of battery usage.

Wifi reception doubled

: How do you test that? By looking at the wifi indicator? That can indicate anything it wants. The strength is going to depend on how the ROM displays the information returned by the kernel. But overall the reception will be EXACTLY the same. This is purely a cosmetic difference.

Now for the rest : Sense ROMs are very nice to look at but eat up HUGE amounts of memory. I ended up switching to AOSP because of the memory usage. LauncherPro was always restarting because of the low memory. Never had the issue on AOSP ROMs.

As for the rest, it's mostly a question of taste. If you prefer Sense ROMS, then be it, but I'm afraid that the reasons you left GV aren't good ones, as you may notice after a bit more usage.

When I reboot my phone it takes lots of time for LPP to work properly and sometimes it restarts. What can I do to get rid of that problem?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Same for me ( my launcher pro is on /system)... the thing I do is to go to applications/development and then check the long.hold back button to stop app... then when I reboot I just force close it my self and it then restarts... just a work around really...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi eviollet, just to let you know I think the person was talking about insert coins nightly which is based on cm7, so I guess not sense... just for your information...
[Desire Android Development] :
The nightly builds are also Sense, aren't they? Just on the basis of the CM7 nightlies...

And for your LPP workaround... I do it the same way, but still its not optimal...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, they are :o I just started to d/l one and it is 262mb .zip... so is a large ROM... then in that case, hasnt sense always been reporting the WiFi better than it was...?!

and with LP... maybe try different VM Heap sizes...?

Taken from here - http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3728-whats-your-vm-heap-size/

I do believe that in the past people who has problems with LP were told to play around with VM heap sizes, not too sure why...! also maybe try to take the ""home" out of memory"
[Desire Android Development] traderjean:
Hi,

I was using ManU kernel, so supposed to be good for batery. WiFi I used wifi analyzer. Used to have -75db now -60db, placing the phone at the exact same spot and not touching it. What you say about battery is true. But I was surprised last night when I plugged my phone had 25% left after 12 hours and yday morning I backedup and restored 4 times with all the reboots that includes plus wifi on all day. I doubt I would have gone through that before although I cannot prove it. :)

The bad side I see is performance a bit down, I get small lags I didnt get before. And of course, it depends on ones needs. TBH I like the Sense 3 gadgets even though I could live w/o them ((geek)) :P

However, I still think GV is the best AOSP rom out there, I tried most of them. Richard did great work.

good day to everyone
