Hi wifi signal is poor im about 3m from router in same room and i have weak signal.When i has sense rom signal was excelent
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
Thanks to Richard Trip

Absolutely fantastic ROM. Been using it for a few weeks, and see no need to try any other.

Everything working perfectly. Good speed, good battery life, nice to have CM7 settings... Great!

I'm using LPP and it makes it run like a dream.

My mate, who has a stock Desire Froyo is so envious.

Thanks go to Richard Trip. Great job.
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
ive tried flashing back to other ROMS (LeeDroid 2.2f, CM7) to S-OFF and they all go into boot loops ???

what on earth am i doing wrong ? Ive been on GV for so long I havent a clue how its setup is now different from other ROMs :p
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
do you have custom mtd? that may not fit in certain ROMs
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
lol... i really cant remember ... how would i have done that ? and how would i tell ?? :o
[Desire Android Development] topcaser:
Hi,

I have read some posts ago that someone installed a new market. Doesn't come GV along with market updates? Can I also manually update to a new version?
[Desire Android Development] aticatac:
Boot loops might occur if you didn't fully wipe your phone. Well, did you? :D
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
hmmm... i did a cache wipe and a 'davlick cache' wipe through advanced settings in recovery .... :o

used to use ROM Manager but that doesnt seem to work on GV ?
[Desire Android Development] aticatac:
Don't use ROM Manager.

Reboot into recovery, use "wipe data / factory reset", flash some ROM and give it another try.

Don't forget to run a nandroid backup first.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Try using a 2.2 Rom instead of a 2.3 Rom. I s offed with richardtrips Defrost for desire and it worked great... it could be a problem, as the roms you're trying are all 2.3...

Also you don't have custom mtds, as you need s off for those... :)
[Desire Android Development] :
You dont need to s-off to get GV to work. But I recommend to do so anyway ;) And I would take a stock rom to do so. So flash a ruu, s-off your phone, flash another boot partition and then try fo flash gv again ;)

ruu you'll get here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667 or simply take a rooted stock rom! In any way... It has to be rooted ;)

s-off and hboot you'll get here: www.alpharev.nl
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
Hey guys.

Noob to rooting, but slowly learning, so I've got a quick question... (btw I'm loving GingerVillain, had 2.7 then updated to 2.8 and enjoying my "new" phone)

I know this is gonna sound stupid but... in Villain Setup, where all of the MOD's are (circlemod etc) there are other updates that Richard has put on there "2.8 SVS + CFS 113Mhz" and "2.8 WiFi PM Fast Module" etc etc. What are they? And should I be flashing them?

My phones working fine without them, but thought I might be missing a trick by not utilising them.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
These are different kernels with different mods... a good thread explaining the different kernels is the manu kernel thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883598 which might give you some explainarion... If u need to know more on kernels in particular then go onto Wikipedia... :)

The standard kernel u have at the moment is the SVS cfs 1113...
[Desire Android Development] zedmarcus:
Cheers mattmanwrx, I'll check out the thread (so many threads, sometimes hard to know which ones are worth reading!).

Anyone know why my notification led for Handcent SMS isn't working anymore at all?

Been struggling with this for a while now since a few ROM versions ago.

LED is still working as it works for mail, standard messaging, missed calls etc..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Think it is to do with the newest 2.8 (2.3.5) Rom... at the moment it is holidays time, so developers are away relaxing... expect updates in the future to fix these... :)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I thought this had only to do with my kernels? Does it not work with the default kernels either?

Also, he wrote that he's been having the problem since several ROM versions. Handcent works with GV 2.7, so maybe he has a different issue?

I haven't yet looked into the LED issues yet, so I'm a little bit behind here... :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I think it is only your kernel. I didn't.bother asking what kernel they are using, I felt lazy ;). And don't use handcent myself.

I haven't used a rt kernel for some time now, so cannot comment on that...

I'm still getting sms led with your kernel (2.0, not test kernel), and gmail still works *i think*... I just turn the screen on too check anyway, it doesn't bother me at all... :)
[Desire Android Development] tasirith:
Yeah I have been able to get Handcent blinking the LED but only in either green or orange.. just went into Settings -> Cyano Settings -> Interface -> LED notifications -> Miscellaneous -> Handcent SMS then set a color to flash. I miss having it come up as blue though (only green or red (comes up orange) avilable, hope this will be fixed at some stage too.. but not a big problem..

another thing though that I have noticed different from the Sense based roms that I have come from is the time it takes to power on the device when pressing the power button. The original HTC (Telstra) ROM was also the same in that you only had to press the power button momentarily to get the device the power on. On the newer Sense based ROMS (eg. Insertcoin, RCMix) it takes a couple of seconds of holding down the power button to get the phone to turn on. Now I find this very useful because you don't seem to accidentally turn your phone on as much (like during flights)

Does anyone know how to extend the amount of time you need to hold down the power button to turn on the phone ?

thanks

Since Richard is on holiday and didn't answer me, I'll ask here. :)

Tried the led setting in the CM, the test works but i still don't get any sms led notification in handcent. (the test in cm setting was with the green setting)

Works fine here with GV2.8 ...
[Desire Android Development] topcaser:
Thanks a lot for the reply. On my Nook Color (Tablet from US) the new market installed automatically. After installation i cant find a lot of updates any more. Is this the same with this market??
[Desire Android Development] Morbie:
Good to know :P

Any idea how i can get it resolved? The miui rom's with the build in sms app works just fine with the LED.

Can't get the LED working with Handcent lately. (i think the past 3-4 months)

Edit: found. Something. When enabling the extra handcent functons for the led which requires root it doesn't work anymore. Odd, cause my phone has su ofcourse
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
do i tick the light sensor filter?

when i try wake phone up using trackpad, i have to press it twice to wake up the phone . but when i use the power button to wake up device it wakes up straihjt away . why is this?

fifa 10 does not work on gv. it runs but when im in a match the football pitch is jst fully white. anyone tried this game?
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
I've tried v.1.53. The same problem. I'm sure it's the fault of the game, not GV, cause the game's too old and a lot of people with Android 2.3 have the same issues.
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
hmmm i'm having a weird issue....

(i have GV 2.8, MANU 2.1 kernel test)

everything works fine, calling, bluetooth, wifi...

now every 2 weeks or so... i connect my phone to my car bluetooth... works fine, but sometimes, when i come out of the underground garage at work, the phone crashes en reboots.

it is always when i'm listining to a audiobook, and soon i have signal, the phone crashes. This does not happen when i come in the garage, and immediately leave. But often i keep talking to my collegue in the garage :p
[Desire Android Development] DonHuan:
Try other versions of Radios.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Can u determine the sometimes it does it? I.e. is it when u try to connect to audio player before bt is on? Maybe take notes next time?

Anyone updated to new market without flashing it. On my htc hero using cm7 nightlie the market updated to new version.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:

It will just install as an update, on to /data... just like a silent update... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i still have not got the update.... anyone know why ?:(:(
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I've just noticed something really nice: when my phone is connected to charger LED is orange. If I receive a notification (mail, gtalk, twitter, etc.) while on charger LED fleshes orange-green. NICE!!

I haven't noticed this in previous GV versions.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I have never had a silent update for the market.. which is why I always flash the newest... :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
New with gv2.8... maybe new with 2.3.5... maybe an error... :)
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i usually get silent update . but not today. ill give it some time or try uninstall updates and see if it updates to latest.

for me it is updated automaticly but it doesnt work, as soon as it opens, it crashes...uninstall updates, it works, but is starts immediately updating again

i tried cleaning dalvik cache and but not helping, it keeps on crashing :(

It updated itself and is force closing? Very strange... maybe try what I put a cooked if pages back?
[Desire Android Development] hello247:
i have manually installed market update. will market automatically update from now on ?
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
i managed to get the market to work...

- i removed updates -> reboot

- i opened the old market en closed it after 2 mins

- i let the phone on for 30 minutes -> then reboot (didnt open the market)

- after reboot -> 10 mins of nothing -> then started market -> no problems...

dont have any clue what caused it :s, but it works now :D

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
if it works perfectly in 2.7 then try using the 2.7 .so driver.... I have created the update to zip that will flash the old driver (not the newest one from the leaked desire 2.3)...

If that doesnt work and you want the newest one back, go to this post and download it...

[Desire Android Development] KazeXT:
I've just noticed a strange bug with the compact carrier label option in the status bar tweaks section of the CyanogenMod settings:

When I scroll through the list of notifications (when there are too many to display on the screen at once) the little carrier label doesn't move up with the bar that it sits in (either the one labeled 'Notifications' or 'Ongoing'). Instead it floats in the same position while the notifications move underneath it. It's just a minor visual thing, but I don't know whether it's Ginger Villain (2.8 btw) or CM7 related.

Has anyone else seen this?
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Nope, but I'm sticking with 2.7 until this is looked at by RT :)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Same here. I tried out 2.8 and had reboots each time the phone connected to my car radio. So I reverted back to 2.7
[Desire Android Development] :
Well I started testing Redux2 Test Rom... And I have to tell... Really is way more faster than Gingervillain. My BT headset reacts faster on my commands. With GV i had to wait a second until he takes my call to jump to the next track. With Redux there is no waiting time. Sure there are some features missing.

So it doesnt feed my needs... Unfortunately because the speed is great. And why is it that with CM7 and Redux the google wifi access points restore does work via google but with gingervillain doesnt? It wont even work with Wifi Backup or Titanium Backup for me :( I hope Richard is aware of these facts. And finds a way to correct them.

Summary:

- fixing BT problems (speed and the rebooting problem when pairing to headset or car device)

- Googles Wifi, App Backup...

- LED notifications... but I guess all of this bugs except for the BT problems came with CM7 with Android 2.3.5

so far there is nothing more to criticize :)
[Desire Android Development] ENGCowboy:

The problems with bluetooth are only on the latest [2.8] build. 2.7 is flawless with BT, changing tracks, etc...and there aren't too many differences between 2.7 and 2.8 (unless you really need webkit acceleration off).

There are zero issues with restoring WiFi access points via Titanium Backup on GingerVillian for me. Not a GV problem, as far as I know of...

Keep in mind that GingerVillian basically IS CM7, just with a custom kernel, updater, and selective commit updates from the nightlies ;) No point really comparing the two as apples to oranges.

Just trying 2.8... what am I missing as titanium wont restore apps?
