CirclesMod for 2.0 per request :)

CirclesMod_gingervillain_20-signed.zip

and the all white ones

CirclesMod_gingervillain_20white-signed.zip

Nandroid first and all that :)

(Sorry for the delay - I've had my eyes firmly on my new phone for the last few days. The LG Optimus 2X is a magnificent piece of hardware, but I'm working hard on pounding the interface into submission :))
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
This wifi issue is the worst. whats he point of having wifi if it wont stay connected if the screen is off???? makes no sense. that means music streaming, instant msging, skype ect ect will disconnect if the screen is off for a period of time.

I contacted Myshkinbob, a member here because i ran into one of his threads about a fix for the wifi sleep disconnect issue (even though it set to never sleep) and he has told me that it has to do with the power management of the driver when the screen is off. the phone puts the wifi driver into the lowest sleep setting making it lag and disconnect. the only fix is to change the code in the kernel that controls this, which he did for a few kernels but has since stopped.

he pointed me to SNq's kernel, which he believes to have this wifi fix, now i'm new to android and dont understand all the technical stuff fully but can you use different kernels with the ginger villain rom or will that basically make it not ginger villain any more? maybe richard can fix this issue within the kernel he is using now for the rom.

I really hope this wifi thing gets sorted out it.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
its true that by default when the screen is off the wifi adapter comes in low power, but dont disconnects , although the performance is obviously much lower. this is not a bug, but a feature

In most cases, when the screen is off not even need a high performance, since applications usually we have the background are instant messaging, email and little more, which work perfectly in this state of energy. Certainly there are other applications such as streaming or VoIP calls for example that are hurt to such behavior. But again we must understand that these applications are used in a minority.

It is true that Richard could get a kernel to modify this behavior like Defrost, but then these users would also be spending far more battery when the screen is off and WiFi on. Still, a question to ask Richard if he could doing...
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
I understand that yes, battery would drain and yes ppl might not use streaming music and other programs like that but isnt that the point of having the options in the settings?? thats why there is never, only when connected to AC , and always. If i choose never sleep for example it should stay connected no matter what i am doing when the screen goes off (at least thats what has happen with every other phone i have used besides android)

maybe there should be a 4th option then...just my 2 cents

does anyone know of a gingerbread rom that has this wifi fix???? lol i know that a few sense roms have it but i wanted to stay close to AOSP...
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Its not easy. Im sure its not possible have a simple toggle, its a kernel/driver behavior. In the best case, you could choose between them, flashing one kernel/driver or other, but never a simple option.

I use for example a lot of streaming music through network folder mounted on SD, and yes, I experiment sometimes lags and some cuts too.

i dont know any kernel (afaik) with kernel modification for this. Anyway, you always can try with Defrost Rom and the specific kernel
[Desire Android Development] psycho_nr_1:
Of course it's Kernel...

for now i couldn't give you a functional solution

But I think its possible to modifie a kernel for always wifi is on I will try to get some modifications running ;)

I tell you if it's done ;)

Media issue

Hi all.

I just noticed this this morning, but since I switched to GV 2.0, my media library is empty : no more pictures in the gallery, and the default Android music player sees no music.

Am I the only one in this case? I'm wondering if I'm going to have to wipe or not...

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
That's strange EViollet, everything works fine here. I can see all my media...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I noticed while backing up my sd card that sd/android/data/com.cooliris.media was corrupt.

This is what I delete to reset all my gallery thumbs. Could be related.
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
I've had a problem like this but only for new pictures. I cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled Gallery 3D from market and it worked. No idea about music files though.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cooliris.media&feature=search_result
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Ditto.

10char

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Very strange.

I'll have to try to wipe then.

I have no music and no pictures. Gallery shows nothing, and QuickPic either.

DoubleTwist plays my music OK though. I suppose it doesn't rely on the media gallery for that.

Any way I can reset the media gallery of android? I tried removing the file you told me, but it didn't change anything unfortunately.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
I had this once when i was trying out the Honeycomb Musicplayer. I removed the old GV music.apk from system and that also deactivated the mediascanner. Henceforth I could not see any music in any app, nor pictures in gallery. Reflashing (over the old one without wipe) reinstalled the music app and the media-scanner.

Hop this helps
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Maybe it is related then. I couldn't delete the folder via PC, but astro did it fine.

Didnt check gallery afterwards as trying another rom (temporarily - I'll be back soon, I promise :) )
[Desire Android Development] MonacoHias:
Do you have a .nomedia file in the root of your sd-card? Often the reason for this problem. Just delete it and you should be ok.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
There is an update for Angry Birds Season, but it doesnt update, when I press update, it says downloading and after 1-2 its gone and back to original update available .. and also i cannot install few apps from the market ... ive tried clearing cache of market but no help .. i hv GV 2.0 and latest market from villian setup .. any ideas guys ?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Are you s-off with a custom partition layout? If so you can only download apps smaller than the free space on your /cache partition.

Check the size in "Quick System info" from the market, but what you describe is the exact symptom you get if this is the case.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
yep same

although it does change when you shine a light into it but then wont change back till after you lock it and unlock it

something is broken
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I had the same hunch an hour ago... I checked the root directory, and... bingo! A .nomedia file was there!

I don't know which app created it, but it was there. After removal, everything is fine.

Thanks all for your help.

What radio/RIL combos are popular? I'm still on the stock radio that came with my phone 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, am I missing out on anything? James.

Any reason why the LED flashlight is greyed out in taskbar widgets?
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:

a2sd reinstall
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
try 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17, kinda like made for GB base radio
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
As the post above mine states... the apps you moved to SD card are now probably on the Google app2sd which takes up space on you internal. You need to move the apps to internal memory which will place them on the ext you have made.

On the first post of this thread,it does state that if you get memory low warnings to move the dalvik cache to the ext, which is done by adb, terminal emulator or the new a2sd GUI app... the choice is yours...

tested my phone for a full day today, have GV 2.0, custom vdd voltage levels, leaked drivers and RILs, and the newest radio...battery life is so much better, especially during idle. :D very very happy.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Yes, after some days testing latest drivers+ril+radio battery seems to improve a little
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
But there is no camera using this combo, is that right?
[Desire Android Development] :
Is bluetooth working?

Where do I find your combo?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Sorry, let me clarify, Theliels posted new RIL and drivers from leaked sense rom for Desire. Pretty sure he said something about camera drivers being missing.

Just wondering if that means camera is not working.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Camera work perfecly, its only that the camera drivers are the only that I didn't add to the zip because some library dependences, so the camera continues to use the old drivers.

This is not surprising, do not forget that we have no sense below. I can trace dependences and try, but I guess it's a job for the CM team. Clearly, if the drivers are somehow useful to the CM, they will implement them sooner or later, although some of them as the camera drivers can need some library modification.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Gotcha. Thanks.

I may try this when I come back to GV.

I may try on redux too.

Many thanks.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Your change is a big win for the redux team and redux users!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
My heart lies with GV. I'll be back soon enough. I just thought it was time I tried another rom just to say I have tried. That way I can give fairer comparissons.

Thanks for saying though :)

[Desire Android Development] john014:
Great rom

A few things though.

Sometimes when my phone is in sleep it takes 3 presses of the power button to wake it.

The camera app is horrible. Is Thea the stock 2.3 one? It looks like the 1.6 one!

Other than that great battery life and speedy response!

Well done.

Ref the Villain ROM and Gingerbread, which I'm loving, I've found that after a while the phone refuses to bring in email, either automatically or if refreshed by hand. All other online services seem to work without issue (Tweetdeck, etc).

Had kind of the Same issue with using the htc headset Form about 30 minutes. The headset Icon in the notification bar didn't dissapear after the headset was unpluged. A regular reeboot fixed it. Besides that gv 2.0 works great for me.

@ Richard:

Seems like the system has problems to unmount external devices for audio playback (?and recordings?) (or to remount the internal?). I don't know that much about rom-development, so I can't say where it comes from.

Whatever, leaked radio improoved my signals.

Tried new drivers and ril (I know not your work but might be interesting for you for future development). Had problems with my phone, mobile internet and wifi connection and had to reflash gv to solve it. Especialy after wake up. If the files have been updated this might be out of date.

Had to replace my digitizer after droping my device. Thanks to xda forum and ebay I fixed it for 38&euro :) . Works good, but I would love to have an option to calibrate it. Just to make shure it works optimal.

...quick question

I tried to download the 1.4 Gingerbread-HAVS-AXI-CFS EViollet (to try it out and see how battery would be, I read it was a good kernel) kernel from Villain setup but there is an error downloading so i found the thread and downloaded the kernel...now i have a question about the install.

How do i install it through clockwork recovery? do I have to wipe and clean all my data again like when i installed gingervillain ie install zip from SD card or can i use the "update.zip" option. Can it install over the previous kernel that came with the gingervillain rom and will i have to do a whole new set up for my phone again??

I guess im confused about the "rom" and the "kernel". are these the same thing or two different things when it comes to android. so if i change the kernel will the rom still look the same?

Sorry for the basic question but i have never flashed a rom before till yesterday..

thanks for any help.

jeff
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No need to wipe. Just use the "install zip from sd card" menu, like with all other flashable zips. It will overwrite your existing kernel.

Every rom needs a kernel. Its the beating hear of the rom. All roms come with a kernel. The ROM is Android. The kernel is something you dont see.
[Desire Android Development] jeffrey23:
Thank you very much. that clears things up for me.

I did a search in this thread and didnt find anything but its late so sorry if this has been covered before...my eyes are bad lol. For ppl that have flashed the EViollet HAVS-AXI-CFS kernel, did you guys notice a decrease in wifi signal compared to the stock defrost kernel that flashes with gingervillain 2.0??

i flashed today to the EViollet and i feel like the wifi signal is worse compared to stock HTC Sense and worse compared to the stock kernel that flashes with 2.0 rom.

just me or anyone else? I have this radio 32.49.0032U_5.11.05.27. a little worried about flashing a new one cause you can seriously brick ur phone if you screw up lol

[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That's just the.order I would choose. Doubt it makes too much difference

Edit. Sometimes I've flashed radio and it hasn't changed. This is why I said reflash

But if its fixed, cool
[Desire Android Development] :
Sometimes it doesnt make any sense... I flashed the GV drivers and ril back and nothing change... Now after wiping and reflashing GV everything seems to work. I just fear that I get the same error I got everytime i wiped... My home and back button didnt work :(

Keep you posted.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Compared with stock Sense I do find reported wifi signal lower - I saw this when I moved to DeFroST and it's been pretty consistent since then (GV & DF about same).

But between GV & ManU kernels I can't say difference is big enough to be sure it isn't a placebo (or noecebo) effect. I did compare 2.0k with ManU 1.4 in the weakest parts of my house and saw no difference. This is with the same radio as you.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
+1.

There may be a difference in the signal strength reported by the kernels. I may have noticed that as well. Even though it isn't really easy to determine precisely.

But I haven't seen any difference in real world usage.
