Okay, after a day of testing and error occured.

I am on 3.1 and unable to get a gps fix. Sky is clear, Network location service is on but gps still takes forever.

I replaced the "gps.bravo.so" with the one from GingerVillain 2.7 (on which i got a fix in less than 10 seconds!) but it did not work...

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] tasirith:
Hmmm.. tested mine and it works fine - locked in about 5 seconds from a cold start... sorry, don't know enough about it to help
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
GPS fix working fine here on 3.1.

Maybe try "GPS Status" on the market to download AGPS data and get faster fixes?

OC/UV settings "Perm Activate" error in Beater

Hello,

Finally, what is the reason of the "Perm Activate" error ? I have the same error.

Are the OC/UV settings effective after boot ?

Are CM settings overwritten ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] :
I get really bad battery life with this rom. With normal usage it has been down after about 20 hours :(
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
I just cant get this ROM to work... :(

wiped the sd card completely and still stuck at boot screen.

Any ideas? what should my partitions be?

cheers
[Desire Android Development] tasirith:
Did you give it a while on the first boot?

Mine took a good 5-7 mins to boot, seemed like an eternity but it came good
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
I left it a good ten mins to be honest, never went to 2nd boot animation just stayed at white htc screen.
[Desire Android Development] :
Which hboot are you using? Custom MTD? Have you done all correctly?

Edit: White HTC Splash? So you are not S-OFF? Well then it is curious.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Still install the rom without s off... butcant change the hboot so must be standard...

strange the phone will not boot...

I see you're from uk it is a uk phone yes?
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
Well its actually a cm7 s pash but didn't want to confuse where it was stuck.

It's the default cm7 hboot I believe? Why, is there a newer one?
[Desire Android Development] :
Yes there is. Try the cm7r2 hboot and wipe again and reinstall!
[Desire Android Development] rs1800:
Would someone please be kind enough to make a circle bat mod (any colour) and post link. I tried once and it didn't work. None of the bat mods in GV update are working yet either.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
My blufrost + circles mod is available... I'm uploading it now... download in 10 mins Max..

You could try using the uot kitchen...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Uploaded and ready for download now... :)
[Desire Android Development] krader:
For me, 3.1 version works like a charm. Bluetooth bug has gone, the phone is fast, and GPS works fine, at least "GPS Test" (I've not tested yet with Google Maps Navigation, but the gps adquisition works).

Thank you very much Richard.

Also, I've decided to get S-OFF before installing the rom, and using CM7v2 custom hboot, with only basic A2SD (dalvik on internal) and most of my apps installed on SD via Google mode (the original that was introduced with froyo, that is more space efficient that A2SD) and what to say... ¡amazing! 92Mb free in /system with my phone faster than with S-ON. My recomendation to everybody: ¡GET S-OFF!
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
worked a treat! Thanks!!

ps. is this r2 a more improved image or is it faster/more stable etc.

(sorry been out the loop for a while)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I think it is just a different size...
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
wow... [wheres the disappointed emoticon?]
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I already thought I was the only one without a problem.

Haven't tested the battery though and haven't got enough time to play with new oc/uv app...
[Desire Android Development] Andyokane:
cant seem to download anything in villian setup, says a recovery image must be downloaded, then says error downloading image.....?
[Desire Android Development] millomonk:
Wifi and bt reception is worse than on 2.7 (signal loss in rooms where it used to work in my flat) whereas mobile reception is better than ever. Especially mobile data. No connection freezes so far ;-)
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Yeah I'm using the standard GV RIL with the latest radio. My phone seems to disconnect from the mobile network more frequently when I set the data to 3G. Already reinstalled GV3.1 after doing a full wipe, davlik cache too. No change.
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
ok, seems like the blue notification does work from GO sms, but it burns steadely n stead of blinking.

BLinking green/orange doesnt work??

is this kernel issue of rom issue (using manu 2.1.1)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
3g only? There would probably be more 2g spots of reception than 3g so that would make sense... it could just be your network provider having a few bad days (nearest mask broken or something)..
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hi,

I flashed GV a few days ago, the last version.

Almost everything is fine, I'm really diging this rom ! I'm coming from redux and I think I'm going to stick with Gingervillain now :D

Just a few questions :

#I'm still experiencing the famous issue "call answer delay" when someone calls me. Is there a solution for this issue ?

#I'm not able to use the torchlight in the power management buttons :( it's not activable :

Thanks for your help :)

Bye ! :o
[Desire Android Development] vuolia:
Hello. I have a problem. After flashing gv 3.1 my gps is no longer working(even gps icon isnt showing up when gmaps or igo is running). It works fine with any other rom (miui, leedroid). And yes, I did full wipe...
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Try to load "GPS-Status" from the market, open menu, choose "Tools" and "Manage A-GPS".
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
What a wonderful ROM :)

This is the first aosp ROM I like and it made me move away from HTC Sense, something I thought would never happen.

Thank you RichardTrip for this wonderful ROM.

This is my first post (Still a noob) and hope you guys could help me out. My Voice Search app and the voice option on keyboard FC's. Is it only me or is there a fix for it?

Appreciate any help extended

I'm S-OFF on CM7 R2 Hboot
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Glad u like it... I've been on Richards roms for over a year now and still loving it...!

I did notice this too... so it is a rom issue.. my voice input also fcs... lets hope richardtrip will see these posts :)
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
I don't have this problem.

The only (wellknown) problem is just the green led when the battery is on 98% of charge instead of 100...

A very little failure, compared to the high quality of this ROM, I must say.
[Desire Android Development] annewbie:
Do I need to flash different hboot for installing this ROM? I have Bravo Stock hboot currently. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
The LED issue arose again from the DeFroST but I went into sound properties, unchecked them, backed out and enabled them. This fixed my problem.
[Desire Android Development] TrueYears:
I currently installed this on my Tmobile on my G2 but wifi doesnt seem to be working, is this normal as its on Beta mode and when will it be working?

Thanks !!!

awesome job btw
[Desire Android Development] Parastie:
You installed a desire rom on a g2?
[Desire Android Development] Deadshot80:
Thanks for the update!!! love the new features that you can change. Very customizable and loving it!

Well Done and thank you for you Hardwork!!!
[Desire Android Development] herghost:
Ha ha, love the easter egg!

Go to your "about" page in settings and tap "Android 2.3.1" as fast as you can and see what happens
[Desire Android Development] TrueYears:
I got it from theunlockr.com, catergoy/roms-2/android-rom-2/htc-g2-desire-z-roms

Does anybody have Facebook synchronisation problems?

1. facebook install

2. synchronize existing contsct (works well)

3. after some time (I don't exactly know when) is FB synchronisation off

it was in 0.6 and also 0.7
[Desire Android Development] rPAD:
No you dont, stock is fine
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Everything works great, at least for me.

Many thanx Richard!!

[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
Had 0.6 with updated market > updated to 0.7 trough Villain setup and market did not work but reboot fixed problem. Everything else is working fine so far, no FC at all

Only thing I noticed that Notification Power widget keeps coming back after reboot. I can disable it in CM setup and it will stay hidden until I reboot the phone and I have to enable/disable it again to hide
[Desire Android Development] adizz131:
installed latest version.

all works well except one thing.

The orange LED does not light up when the phone is charging.

not a major thing, but i seem to notice it now that it is not there.

Hello all.

First, I'm still at 0.6 but I will flash 0.7 after I make some adjustments. I always remove system apps I don't need or use, and also I exchange the shutter sound files for the camera and video recorder to silent one.

Loving this ROM though. It's fast and smooth and has good battery life. Still some bugs but they are well know I guess.

* Light sensor auto adjustment fails many times

* Sometimes need to push the power button many times before it wake up

No biggie's :)

But I would like to ask If you can ad like in Oxygen the availability to remove the power widget from the status bar pull-down menu? For me and many others who uses SwitchPro, Extended controls or other widgets the one in the status bar is only unnecessary and in the way. It also messes up the clean look :D

And last a tip for those who have problem with switching mobile data on/off with SwitchPro, Extended controls etc,

try Widgetsoid from market

, it's free, highly configurable and it is the only widget I have found now that is able to switch mobile data!

Best regards!

There are more problems with the led right?

I do not get notifications by led, for instance when I missed a call. No led turning on. Or when i have received email ...

It's really annoying. I encountered this on DeFrost, Oxygen and this ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Bucci:
after some time... launcher pro plus 0.8.2 fc each 2 senconds... so have to go back to 0.6
[Desire Android Development] Zym0tiC:
0.7 running smooth! The only issue I have is the LED not working.

This morning I saw a steady green led for notification instead of a blinking orange one. 2 hours later I don't see a led at all.

Tried to uncheck the led options in settings/sounds but without result.

Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] boety:
I can't find this setting, can someone point me in the right direction? I am running Oxygon at this moment, but it should also be in that ROM, i also could not find it in Villain ROM ...

Settings, Sound, nothing about notification led ...
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Thanks mate for the quick reply. +1.

So it's not only me and I too hope Richardtrip releases a fix for this for it to be a perfect ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I was just looking at rom differences and cannot see any... so it maybe a bit more complex...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
This is the same as mine and has been like that for ages... maybe even the whole time on 2.3...
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
Try to update Voice Search to 2.1.4 via Market. It helped me.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Brilliant fixed it for me, thanks :)

Not that I use it lol...

Edit: will hit the thanks button shortly (when on comp)
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
You're welcome. :)
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Could you upload it for me please. Most google apps don't show up in my country :(

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
Of course! ;)

Google Voice Search 2.1.4: http://multi-up.com/565476 or http://www.mediafire.com/?oz72uhe3u41ejg1

UPD

I'm glad. :)
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Thanks Mate. +1

Works fine :)
[Desire Android Development] Force.:
I have the same problem with the torchlight, in the previous version 2.8 I could use it fine :/.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I'm using htc original flashlight ( http://db.tt/esnoBjVM)

It's not as convenient as notification widget but it works
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I'll look into swoping the cmparts.apk tomorrow see if it helps...
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
Market app still fc close
[Desire Android Development] tasirith:
Can anyone else confirm this bug/FC for me ?

Go into the Camera app, switch it to video mode, go into settings and go right down the bottom and select 'Restore Defaults'. it will ask you to confirm, and when I press OK, it does a FC..

not a big deal by any means and I don't even use it.. just noticed the other day and bringing it up as maybe a bug fix for the next version
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
Hi, do we have any way to improve wifi signal reception? My desire's wifi signal is so bad with GV3.1, ManU 2.0 and latest Radio/RIL. :(
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Same here mate. Also noticed this yesterday and as you said it's no big deal but a fix would be welcome.
[Desire Android Development] tasirith:
Apparently it's in the Oxygen ROM as well so maybe a problem with CM7 or source ?
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
i had this to until i switched my phone language from english US to english uk

. For some reason it works now fine :s
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hello :)

my mobile data keeps disappearing :(

I have to reboot the phone a few times to make it come back...

(I tried using the widget to disable/enable the mobile data, also go to plane mode. This is not working.)

I'm using the same radio than I was using on redux, or MIUI, without issues on these roms.

Any idea ?
[Desire Android Development] Esben Ludvigsen:
3.1 smooth as butter ;-)
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Same here. Not sure where the problem lies.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
For anyone wanting the Torch in the quick toggle notification buttons, this is a way you can do it...

I have here cmparts2.8.zip and cmparts3.1.zip...

Flash cmparts2.8, which is cmparts.apk from 2.8, get the torch toggle in the notification, then flash back cmparts3.1 to stay up to date!

I know it is working, as I have it on mine now!
[Desire Android Development] leinad:
I can confirm that, having the torch toggle in the notification in 2.8, I still have it after upgrading to 3.1.

:)
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Thanks a lot for the fix !

but as soon as I have a lot of issues with the network data disappearing really ofter, I went to a CM nightly for now (no issue with network data by the way).

I can't mis any mails as it's my work phone.

I'll get back to villain in a few update, I hope the issue will be fixed then ;)

Cheers,
[Desire Android Development] guitarguy:
I had the issue with the Market FCing as well. After seeing this post, checked my language, set it to English Canada, and POW! No more FC's!

Thanks azz_kikr!
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
My wifi too is not as good as it was...

Other then that this ROM is sweet :-)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
It works worse or just shows weaker signal?
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Does anybody know how to remove DSP manager from the ROM itself as I have a paid playerpro app and DSP Manager interferes with it and makes playerpro fc. Anyway the built in playerpro EQ is far superior than dsp manager and I want to completely remove dsp manager from the ROM. Any help would be highly appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
use Titanium backup, it allows you to remove system apps
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
I am a bit of a noob. Could u guide me place.
[Desire Android Development] leinad:
Get Titanium Backup from the Market (requires root).

Go to 'Save / backup', you'll see all apps installed on your phone (including system apps)

Long press 'DSP Manager', you'll get a pop-up menu, with a choice to uninstall it.
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
Does not work. Phone boots into a triangle with "!" Mark. Can I manually remove it from the rom.zip. wouldn't mind reflashing to get rid of it.
[Desire Android Development] millomonk:
Both. Bt range is also worse, but finally it works in general
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes u can... if u can wait till tomorrow I could make a .zip file to remove it though...
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
@hncdesilva: Why don't you just delete DSPManager.apk (in /system/app) with Root Explorer (or adb shell rm command :D) then reboot phone?
[Desire Android Development] PloneX:
I got same GPS problems with 3.1 as it was in 2.7 (or 2.6 dpn't remember)... GPS getting fix but then GPS stop updating my possition (not always, sometimes it works well for few minutes)... in 2.8 it was fixed but in 2.8 Bluetooth was broken... now in 3.1 BT handsfree doesn't reboot my phone but navigation is unusable... anyone else have GPS problems with 3.1??

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Just checked...

gps.bravo.so in 3.1 is same as in 2.7 (CRC 5b249442) and latest nightly build of CM (CRC 5b249442), but in 2.8 was another one (CRC 5595fd16)... Lib from 2.8 was working just fine... will try to change it now in my phone with root explorer and report later... hope it will fix my problem

Update... after changing lib with root explorer phone told me "gps is switched off"... anybody can help? how to integrate gps lib from 2.8 to 3.1?

Update2 copied second lib - gps.goldfish.so with root explorer, GPS is working now. can't test if problem is gone or not now... will report later
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i seem to be having weaker signal and data cuts when im using 3.1? anyone have any idea why?
[Desire Android Development] mugor:
I have been playing around with the automatic backlight settings, but i have noticed that my raw light sensor value never drops below 225

I have read that cm7 is supposed to support the value of 10? Does gingervillain also support this and if so how can I enable it?

I would ultimately like to be able to do something like in http://twitpic.com/2k4qjz

Many thanks.
[Desire Android Development] hncdesilva:
THANKS. Just did that and it works. +1
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
Try flashing a different radio through fastboot. I dd that and it seems to be slightly better...less disconnections.
[Desire Android Development] x潮騒x:
I updated from 2.7 and GPS stopped working ( doesn't detect any satellites at all). I will try your fix(?) later

Edit: has anyone the 2.7 lib lying around?
[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
Just download the old version from http://xda.richardtrip.org/ginger/ and extract it from there.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hi,

ok so I would like to correct myslelf :)

I came back yesterday night to GV because I couldn't find another rom that suits my needs :D

and network data is working fine now ! maybe my provider was in cause, I don't know. Because I did the exact same thing (wipe all + flash rom + same radio) ... :confused:

anyway, GPS is working fine, network data also, good battery life, nice CM tools.

The only thing that kills me is this delay when I pick up an incoming call :mad: :D

And I can't find where you can manage applications permissions (I found where to activate it, but not the place to manage them)

Thanks a lot for this great rom !
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
I flashed the following kernel: GingerVillain_3.1_svs_1190Mhz_cfs.zip

But now the led notification doesn't work anymore... Where do I get the normal kernel?

Before I installed GV 3.1, I had used oxygen. I think that the battery is with oxygen better, but i love the cm settings and gv is really smooth!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
1) I use the GingerVillain_3.1_havs_1113Mhz_cfs.zip because @ 1190 my Desire Freeze :rolleyes:

2) With GV 3.1 kernel 3.1, latest radio and RIL (as sign) my led notification work... (red, green, blue)...

For phone Dialer One (Latest 1.3.3) and for messages Handcent (Latest 3.9.8.5)...

Call and sms/mms give me my customized notification (Led color and mp3)...

Try to set the [CyanogenMod]->[interface]->[LED notifications]

Or try Dialer One / handcent :rolleyes:

In stand-by, without working app, with BT-WiFi-Gps off and clock set @ 245Hz (SetCPU with Screen Off profile)

My battery drain is about 0,7-0,8 % / h... I think that it is good ^_^
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
I have this kernel too, i posted the false. my radio is 5.17.05.08, i had the experience that the battery lasts much longer than with 5.17.05.23. Every LED notification works besides the Blue from handcent.

I use oc/uv Beater2, no idea if setcpu is better
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Ok.

yes, i confirm your experience.

but the 23 looks better (my opinion) in call signal and GPS fix.

So... All color (green and red) works... and blue works also...? :confused:

I am not understand what is your led problem... :rolleyes:

Or, green and red works, but blue not?

However, have you look Cyanogenmod's led setting?

Don't worry...

I don't know, i only like most about the SetCPU's interface instead of Beater :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
The blue Led color doesn't work anymore, but this isn't really important.
[Desire Android Development] howdid:
For me it works lol
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
my LED still aint working
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
Same led issue, none works and LED me know beta is not compatible now :(
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
+1 also :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

All "little bugs" are important

So you looked in the cyanogenmod led options?

With handcent i use blue led notification for most of sms/mms...

Red led for family sms/mms...

Green for calls...

I repeat, look in CyanogenMod -> led setting -> application :rolleyes:

must set the [Mode LED] -> "From app" otherwise (small bug?) you can choose only green / red color... ;)
[Desire Android Development] Don Fekete:
I don't watch this forum a long time. Now have i the Oxygen ROM 2.1.2. I read first post on this topic, but i can't find the RADIO for this ROM. It's included, or where can i find it ? (which of version is recommended)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
RADIO and Radio Intarface Layer are included in the rom. So the rom is fully working as is

If you want the last radio ROM: http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/

last avaiable 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 seem to have little better signal...

the before version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 have a little less battery drain...

Latest ril is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752

HTC-RIL 2.2.1003G working with both RADIO ROM.

[Desire Android Development] Don Fekete:
thanks, i'll try 5.17.05.08, power on time is most important for me :)

u got it ;)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
[thanks] button :p

Even for me :D

To save battery, turn OFF when unecessary: BlueTooth, GPS, WiFI, 3G...

I also use only two widget and use low clock governor in standby (I use SetCPU)
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
I reinstalled handcent and now the blue led works again :-) but where did you get the red color? I haven't seen it before
