I did take the new framework as always after a Rom-Update!

Well, I guess I have to try again :(
[Desire Android Development] chrisvr4:
Thanks for the battery mod dude :) **whispers any chance of a network & data mod aswell ? ** as they are looking lonely lol ;)
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
Thank-you its been bugging the crap out of me
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
still the ginger villain animation :/
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
GPS seems to be broken - after GPS Status launch gps icon blinks a bit and that's all. Will try 2.2 again.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Anyone has problems with the bluetooth? Somehow if I switch off my headset while my bluetooth is still on I can't use the phone to call anyone. No sound from the speaker or loudspeaker at all.
[Desire Android Development] :
Yah have the same problem :(.also I don't get an icon in the notification bar when the headset is connected...

[Desire Android Development] leader288:
I wonder if this is a gingervillan bug or an cm7 bug?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
GPS status working fine here...
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
No problem here.

I'm using GV 2.3, leaked drivers, 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 radio, HTC 2.2.1003G RIL, ManU test kernel, in case any of these are relevant.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
That happened to me with 2.2 - I'd had a problem with voice dialling, so assumed it was specific to that app fouling-up, but as I'd walked away from the BT device without disconnecting a while earlier I wonder whether it might be something similar.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Will try to reflash to see if that would help.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe its the boot animation then? That's where I have copied mine and it is working fine... is it a bootanimation.zip and has compression set to "store".. and has the correct desc.txt file in there?

Or is it a flashable zip that you are placing there?
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
its the stock bootanimation htc desire animation which i downloaded a while back and used it with a froyo custom rom, where it worked fine (copy&paste in the right folder).

thats in the desc.txt:

480 800 15p 1 1 android
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well I dunno what's going on there then.. I have the eyesonlybob boot screen that I got from xda (i think.. not villain setup) and just copy it from the SD card folder downloads to data/local which works for me... I use root explorer to do that...
[Desire Android Development] hyperteiL:
hehe, using file expert - this has been a mistake ;) tried root explorer and it worked.

thank you!
[Desire Android Development] Sandrioni:
Would it be possible to put the new RIL and drivers in Villain setup?
[Desire Android Development] :
that would be great.

@RichardTrip

Can you post which drivers and ril you implement in your roms?

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
The stock ril has been mentioned fairly recently, it's relatively old but proven reliable. Think it starts 1.6. Unsure about drivers, Richard will have to enlighten you.
[Desire Android Development] kingears:

[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Thnx for fixing the auto brightness :d .. now its smooooth :d ..

Now I have two problems with 2.3:

First ia that the performance dropped a bit, got some lag .. second ia that when I end a call, the screen goes dark, but the keylights are one and when i press the power bottom, the screen turns off with animation .. that black screen happens to me in random times as well, for example txting ... I jst flashed over 2.2
[Desire Android Development] aaargh777:
Got the same issue, did a full wipe before install.
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I've Just had a mini reboot on 2.3. Headphones icon is working for me.
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:
Im using apps2sd GV 2.2, can anyone mount their SD card over USB anymore? For some reason I cant...its driving me insane.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
There was a problem.with the manu kernels on 2.2. There was a test kernel in the manu thread, however, after updating to 2.3 the manu kernels work again, so I guess it was a cm bug... either use the test kernel, one of richardtrips kernels or update to 2.3 :)
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Same issue, very random.
[Desire Android Development] GuestK00150:
Hey!

Thanks for this good ROM!

I encounter the problem that I can`t install the latest flash player through the market with GV 2.3. The download seems to start but breaks up after a couple of seconds. Anyone having the same problem? Any recommandations?

Using ManU 1.4 Axi CVS Kernel and HTC_RIL_2.2.1001G, rooted and S-OFF, data++ table.

THANKS
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Data++ only has a cache of 5mb... and I guess it is already full... try clearing cache in recovery (or root explorer as you're s off) before trying the download again...
[Desire Android Development] GuestK00150:
does it download to cache? I used the CM7 table with redux before and never had problems?!

tried clearing cache, no changes, still doesn`t work!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It will need to download to the cache before installing it.. I guess it is the market playing up then... I usually get this error. Although yesterday, the market was working perfectly...
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
It does download to cache, and I suspect that the cache in Data++ is simply too small for this app.

The reason it works with redux is that there's an init.d script in there that let's it use /data when /cache doesn't have space. I've been using it in GV for the last week or so, with no adverse effects and no problems updating multiple apps at once (which I used to see even though I have a 40MB /cache). Have a look at the "Scripts" section of this AF post - the "scripts.zip" file includes this one (06mountdl) as well as a couple of others. Either remove the others (if not wanted) and flash, or extract the script from it, copy into /system/etc/init.d and reboot (you are S-Off, so can do that). Having it flashable is probably good though, since you'll need to reapply after a ROM update.

Give it a try - this should solve your market download problem.
[Desire Android Development] GuestK00150:
Thanks, will give it a try and post about it later...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Wonder if someone can help me today?

Last night I flashed the latest radio... so far so good... no errors with that, holding signal and connection.

So then I thought I would flash the leaked drivers and ril found posted in this thread. I done that, and all seemed ok (last time I had a problem with them).

I came to work today, and everything was fine (apart from a random reboot, which hasnt happened at all on 2.3, until today). My work is by a phone mast, and I ALWAYS have 4 bars signal (literally, we are right next to it). I check my phone after lunch, and it has no bars signal. I reboot the phone, it gives me 4 bars signal, but no internet connection... I thought, maybe give it a while, it could be tmobile, and turned on the wifi to make sure I get emails, etc.

Next is where is starts to get silly... My phone rings, I answer it, and hear the person saying hello. I put the phone to my ear, and when the screen turns off (proximity sensor), the call drops. I just get a "beep beep" and then back to lockscreen and asking to enter my pattern unlock code! I treid ringing back and it keeps doing the same...

I tried ringing my work, to test it, (without putting the phone to my ear) and it rung, my boss answered and I told him i was testing and tried to hang up - this didnt let me... I had to ask him to hang up before the call could be ended!

I then rung my voicemail (incase someone tried ringing the work number, and not to hog it up), and as soon as I covered the proximity sensor with my hand, the call dropped out... I can make a video if need be...

Until then, I will leave them on there until the end of day (hopefully someone can suggest something), but after then, I will be going back to standard...

RichardTrip, Please do not include the leaked drivers and RIL in the rom, otherwise I will have to leave... :(
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Matt, am at work ATM so cannot really search, but I've seen another report of this symptom (losing signal when proximity sensor activated) recently. Don't think there was a solution, but will try to track it down when I can.

I tried the leaked driver & RIL package on mine and at best would lose mobile data first time screeen went off - at worst I suffered total mobile signal loss about a minute after boot. Odd thing is that it works fine for some people. Flashing the 2.2.1003G RIL over this (so replacing the RIL but not the drivers) fixed it for me, and I've been working with that combination for a few weeks now. If you want to try that, the zip should be available via the AF thread I linked in post 8445 above (to give credit, it's the zip that System of a pWn packaged in the RILs thread).
[Desire Android Development] psycho_nr_1:
is there any chance to get new camera working?

Old Camera Suckzzz
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hadron, thank you very much... I am flashing the RIL from the N1, hopefully fixes my problem!

No rush on the search for thread... I can easily revert back (seeing as all info is in that lovely dropbox account that yous lots control, great idea!!!!)

EDIT: PERFECT!!! TIS WORKING AGAIN! BIG THANKS TO LARGE HADRON!!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Yea, it also contains the 1.6.something.G ril which is the GV default, if you want to try just the drivers with the standard ril.

The great idea was Dan's, of course :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Where do I get the drivers only?
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
I've never had any success aside from the bulletproof 1.6.x.x.x Nexus Ril and the 2.2.1003G RIL, others have caused major problems. Don't really see many issues with not having the new ril/drivers implemented. I've got them all saved in my Dropbox folder, I end up flashing about 6-7 different things on a new build including battery mods, but it hardly takes any time tbf.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well u kinda don't... u have to do what I done, flash the drivers and ril then flash to the n1 ril which works... happy to see others have had trouble with them too... not happy we all have problems tho.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I think theliels originally posted leaked drivers & ril. Later he posted drivers and ril separately, search this thread. I had no luck with any of the rils except ones ending with G on aosp roms. Other rils are meant for sense roms afaik
[Desire Android Development] :
Seems to be, yeah...

Richard could start a poll whether include new ril & drivers or not.

Swyped from my HTC Desire on XDA App
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Only thing with that.. if they get voted in cos ppl can't b bothered with two extra flashes, there would be many people leaving gv, myself for one.. also hadron had trouble plus others...
[Desire Android Development] :
I also had trouble with the Drivers and the combined ril. But with 2.2.1003G it's the past ;)
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Both Versions -> http://theliel.es/android/BaseBand/

Yes, the most of all problems are radios and RIL. At the moment, I believe that nobody have any issue with Drivers, but maybe need more test. Anyway, Richard could add New Drivers by default on GV and upload old Drivers to GV Setup.
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
I agree with Mattmanwrx, it's not like it'll save anyone more than a couple of minutes, scrolling recovery takes longer than actually flashing. And regarding what Theliels has just said, I personally would not say the drivers alone had any noticeable impact so I'm not sure including them would actually be a measurable improvement. Honestly, I just flash them mainly because they appear popular with other users; if anyone disagrees then please give details of how the leaked drivers improve GingerVillain performance?
[Desire Android Development] zakdoc89:
Having an issue in which, unknown numbers cut off after 40 seconds.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I agree about the drivers - all of the problems I've seen people having have been radio-related, and fixed by flashing over another RIL. Has anyone heard of problems with the 2.2.1003G RIL?

I've just been comparing the contents of different zips, and was surprised that they don't all contain the same ril-related files. All contain a system/bin/rild, but then in system/lib I find:

* G series .zips include a libril.so and libhtc_ril.so

* the drivers+ril zip contains only a libhtc_ril.so

* a stand-alone zip of HTC-RIL_2.2.0028HM (which is the version that ril info reports when using the above package) includes ibril.so, libhtc_ril.so and libreference-ril.so

I find myself wondering whether the problems might be related to this? If I flash the combined driver+ril package it will replace rild and libhtc_ril.so, but not libril.so. So if there is an incompatability between my existing libril and the new libhtc_ril or rild that could cause problems. The test of this would be to flash the 2.2.0028HM file which has a new libril as well, but as that replaces a third file I can't undo it just by flashing back 2.2.1003G, so had better take a nandroid first.

Oh, what the hell, curiosity is getting the better of me....
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
+2 about the drivers... they are for 2.3 and we are on 2.3 ;)

And let us know the outcome if you test... sounds interesting... :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Far too "interesting" for my tastes!

Was a total disaster: everything was fine until I turned the screen off. After that, no mobile signal whatsoever. Couldn't kick it back into life by changing mode (2G/3G) or toggling airplane mode (didn't seem to fully enter it - icon never came up and menu stuck at "disabling radios").

So, so much for that theory :eek: Restoring from my nandroid as I type this.

I'd be inclined to accept the simple "HM is for Sense, G is for AOSP" and leave it at that, if there weren't some very reliable people for whom it does work. But for whatever reason it works for them, it clearly does not work for me.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Same experience here, no signal after screen off. And it kind of bothered me that it worked for some people and not for me.

But I've also seen reliables saying it simple and plain: use g for aosp, hm for sense.

I already said, any G ending ril works for me on GV.

I was using leaked drivers in combination with 1.6.1062G (GV default), 2.2.0014G, 2.2.1001G and 2.2.1003G and can't say for sure it was an improvement. But it kind of felt like my wifi signal was stronger, no side effects like drain or anything else.

After all I decided to go with gv default drivers/ril, smooth and stable, other info you can see in my sig.
[Desire Android Development] :
Indeed it is quite mysterious that fit some the drivers + ril work and for others don't... Same with the kernels.sucks that I can't use havs :(

back to the latest ril. Think I haven't read that it doesn't work for anyone.

[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Hey guys, few pages ago I mentioned the black screen problem with the 2.3, now I noticed that my GPS doesn't work or lock as well. I tried to use the navigation, but it kept saying "searching for GPS...". Never had that problem with previous versions of GV before. I did the update w/o wipe and im using the stock radio (never changed it) and the newest kernel which is in the GV setup
[Desire Android Development] joconsulting:
Hi Amir,

I've installed Gps Status and set it to download GPS FIX once a day. It solved this issue.

Regards, Jo
[Desire Android Development] jkissane:
Is anyone having problems unlocking the screen since updating to GV 2.3? When I press the power button the screen comes on & then goes again straight away which means I have to press it a few time until it stay on so I can use the unlock slider.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes... I get the same... no solution though...
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Yes got the same problem as well !!
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
Thnx mate, sure will try it and see if it fixes the problem :)
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Yes, but it's intermittent here.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Same, doesn't happen too often now...

I use widgetlocker too, if it make a difference...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Same problem. Except that yesterday I did it while using the camera. The problem is that the screen stayed off. I could feel the phone reacting to the button interactions (and screen on/off interactions), but it just stayed black.

I had to reboot the phone...

Very strange issue... especially as I don't know if what I noticed last night is due to the ROM or the kernel I'm currently testing...
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Doesn't seem like what I'm having. Sometimes, rarely, if I press power button screen shows up and goes off immediately.

Nothing more, nothing less.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
That's usually what I get. I get that from time to time, but last night I had something else. Only had it once though, and it seems to be linked to the usage of the camera...

Keeping an eye on this...
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I've had that occasionally in the past, but not so far with the final 2.3 release. But as you say, rarely, so may just be chance that I've not seen it for a few days.

I did do a full wipe and a big clean-up when installing the latest release (didn't restore a number of rarely-used apps, replaced system settings by hand rather than from Ti, stopped using the theme chooser). Was the first time this year.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Hah! Having said I've not had that since the final 2.3 release, guess what happened this evening...?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Good.. I was going.to update to the final to see if it helps... don't need to now... :)
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
What is the suggested table for this rom? Can I just use the CM7 table?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Nope, GV requires just over 140 MB for /system (unless you strip some stuff out of the zip before flashing).

Bravo-Sense works well enough (180 MB system). Or you could use the N1 table, though IMO that makes most sense if you want to keep the dalvik cache in internal memory, as with N1 you can move it to the /cache partition (only reason I can see for wanting a 95 MB /cache). You could try data++, but the small cache may cause problems (same would be true for CM7 table) - have a look at post 8445 in this thread, where I posted a possible solution for that.
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
I have problems installing this rom. Even using the Sense table, after flashing nothing happens at first bootup. It stays at the splashscreen for ever. Every other rom works for me.
[Desire Android Development] paprkut:
Its happened quite alot to me in the past few days too.
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:
Same problem here...its REALLY frustrating. I can still feel the haptic feedback when I swype to unlock...but the screen is blank.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Not the table then - I'm using Bravo-Sense.

So, we need some more information to guess why not. I can't think of any special requirements to load this ROM: you need a GSM handset, full wipe before install, a bit over 140 MB for /system. I think it will work without an ext partition on the SD card, but have never tried - for a2sd you need an ext format partition after the fat32. That's about it, unless anyone can think of something I've missed?
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
just dont use cm7 and data++ hboot or you will have problems with market
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Unless you make further modifications, this is true.

That was my point: CM7 (and Redux) include a script to allow market downloads to use /data if there is only a small /cache, and people report it working well. But that script is not included in GV, so if you want to try this and see how well it works you need to add it yourself. Out of the box you will indeed have market download problems.
[Desire Android Development] jult:
So what does the asterix mean here? Where is the the Maps.apk now?

By the way, I'd much rather have you remove some of the media files (large audio content nobody ever uses, wallpapers), and the Email.apk and Gmail.apk can be replaced by k9-mail, which is both smaller, faster, easier to use and more configurable.

Also, why is everybody so crazy about Titanium as a backup app? MyRootBackup (rerware) does a much better job as far as I can see.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maps is in the market and can be downloaded if you want it...

I use the wallpaper... I use gmail app. Don't want k9, and take email.apk out myself before flashing the .zip.

The last time I used mybackup for apps, it didn't restore half of them... titanium has always been best for me...
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
- deleted -
[Desire Android Development] :
Yeah Titanium is probably the best. But nevertheless Richard could put it in data/app so that it would be easier to remove. Same with Rom Manager, LiveWallpapers and stuff. Cuz that eats lots of space.

K9 doesnt want anyone of us I guess. The Email solutions android supplies are worth the space they take ;)
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
Same issue,

im using ManU 1.4, still can use adb shell but shell reboot doesn't work. Have to take out the battery.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well to be honest, I take out the email.apk and fm.apk before flashing the ROM.. just started to use the standard email app for two other accounts and have it on /data.. I will let TB restore that next time around...

I also take out TB from /system and place it in /data before flashing the ROM... infact in the options of TB it can make itself a flashable zip to install after ROM install.

Again, Rom manager I take out... I never want to use it again tbh... and the live wallpapers, not too sure if they will work on /data.. should do, but not 100%.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Please, not again about k9-mail...
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Ok so here's my story, about the same. But with me it's like this. I press the power-button and nothing happens on the screen. I press it again and screen goes on and directly off again. After i pressed it once, the phone reacts to my actions. I can feel haptic feedback when i slide on the place off the unlock. Now for the curious case.

It happens ALWAYS when my audio is playing and i got headphones plugged in. The app playing is using lockscreen controls (maybe this is the cause?) I use GV 2.3 final release, Manu 1.4 kernel and no custom drivers or RIL.

I kinda find this anoying and hoping for a fix :D

For the rest installation was great again :D no need for my backup :D
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
+100 - and one nice feature of being S-Off is that if I forget to do so, I can just uninstall it the moment I notice it's there :D
[Desire Android Development] :
Yeah I know RM sucks ;)

Problem is here that it is difficult to achieve all these goals on the fly. Deleting apps from the .zip with Astro Manager works but can I change folders, create and so on?

Maybe Richard is going to give us his opinion about?
