I'm receiving two notifications in notification bar upon receiving a text message since gv 1.0, one that says there are unread messages, and the other with first few words of a message. The first one takes me to messages, and the second one opens the newly received message.

How can I disable the notification that says there are unread messages?

Done nothing but have the phone on Standby, Looked at the screen once or twice:

Battery life: 94%

I couldn't get led me know to work either.

The Rom comes with only green or red as standard. That's fine though. Not enough of a problem to.have to use handcent
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Set the wifi sleep policy to never (and save).
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
+1... led me know is made for the desire with a sense Rom, which is prob why it doesn't work with aosp roms...

And yes, green and.Orange/red is fine... mine is more orangey... :)
[Desire Android Development] rferrett:
hi guys,

Having a little trouble setting up a wifi hotspot. Works a little different from the stock sense option.

I think I have set everything up, ssid, password, wpa2. But for some reason my tablet cannot see the network even though the wifi hotspot active icon is in the top bar.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] melvinvm:
I've been having similar problems since upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1 I've figured out that it has to do with the channel number the wireless accespoint is on. 12 and 13 don't work regardless of channelnumber, security, ssid, passphrase etc...

I've worked arround this by setting the channel to 11 but is there a fix?

ROMAGE

Hello.

Currently using Ginger Villain 1.0 (SD Class 4 Fat 32(7gb) and EXT3 (1gb))

I was using 0.9 which was having intermittent probs in Wifi. Time outs mainly. Connection wouldn't stabilize. So I flashed one of the Villain Setup kernels (1.2 SVS +CFS 1113Mhz), presuming it was power to the wifi that was causing the problem. It seemsed to improve the wifi performance as supposed.

I then flashed to 1.0 doing a wipe/factory reset before I did so and the wifi performance went downhill again, so I did another wipe/factory reset and installed 1.0 again and wifi has been fine. I am not going to up to 1.1 until I hear that the wifi bugs have been sorted. Otherwise a great ROM that has convinced me to stay with Android 2.3 even if it's a little buggy :P Look forward to future versions.

how to get contact names when using the alphanumeric pad

Hi Guys,

This may be a super-n00b question but, regarding the dial pad when making calls:

Is there a way of contact names to appear when pressing the alphanumeric pad?

At present, I have to go to the contacts tab and scroll through to select the desired contact which is a slower method. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I’ve been running GingerVillain 1.1 for a few days now. So far I’m finding it more stable than CM7-RC1 and Oxygen’s gingerbread releases, especially now that I have not lost my Wi-Fi connection for no reason for 12+ hours now.;)

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you press the search hardkey, you can get a qwerty keyboard up and type the name. You can set it so it shows a phone icon next to the name too.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Not exactly what you're looking for but when in dialer, long press on search button then type in contact's name in the search box.

Or, try an alternative like dialer one.

Edit: too slow, RootSU beat me to it.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
I had that problem once in a while on GV 1.0, but not since upgrading to 1.1. No solution here, sorry, but it wasn't that big of a deal since I only rarely rebooted.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks for finding out. Is the wifi regulatory domain on 13 or 14 in advanced wifi settings? if that's the case then the wifi driver thinks we are in the US (eg north america) and doesn't allow us to use 12 or 13. please confirm.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Install Ray Dialer and enjoy. :)
[Desire Android Development] melvinvm:
By default it was set to 13 so I also tried setting it to 14 but to no effect... Wifi analyser couldn't detect those networks either.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
So no one receiving two notifications for text messages?

Hello I wanted to congratulate the rom .. but I have a problem with the backup with Google applications will not run why?
[Desire Android Development] Antony2ru:
Hi Richard, the rom is greate

Can you tell me where i can put my boot animation. Data/local?
[Desire Android Development] FaithCry:
for all those who are having problems with just flicking the power button to turn on, its because you're on smartass govenor, switch over to ondemand and it works pretty much the same, except just tapping the power will work fine.

hope this helps!

cheers.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Nope, not here. Its no big problem, but it is the same with ondemand. Never used smartass btw...
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
@Antony2ru: Before you install the rom, open it with WinRAR. navigate to system/media/ and replace bootanimation.zip with your file (same name). close winRAR, copy the zip to your SDcard and flash it.

I hope this helps. Worked for me.
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
this ROM is great.. :)

Looking forward to the next release :)

Waiting for Camcorder and FM-Radio till i would switch from DeFroST 6.1se. :-/
[Desire Android Development] rolandc85:
Hi, hope to see a FM Radio included in the next version. Thanks for the hard work.
[Desire Android Development] redlabour:
Tested GingerVillain now:

1. DSP Manager missing

2. New Market missing

3. WLAN Patch missing in Villain Setup

4. Very slow

5. Very unstable

6. Camcorder missing

7. FM Radio missing

8. Twitter Login broken

Will wait for a Beta instead of this Alpha. ;-)
[Desire Android Development] mainerror:
Pretty much all you've posted applies only to you I guess. It runs absolutely flawlessly and darn fast. There is also no problem with Twitter on my part.

However you are right about the missing FM radio and camcorder.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well what app is causing it? Do you use a notification app, like led me know, which may display the message and the standard sms app may display the message too?
[Desire Android Development] TyKH:
I'm receiving double. One from the regular and one from Handcent. I did edit something in the settings of the regular sms settings. Now i'll just have to wait for another sms :P
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
I guess that's the point. Wifi chanel was set to 13 in the router. After setting it to 11 or lower it works with the 1.3 Kernel. Did not try the 1.4 yet, but I will also check that out later on and give you a short reply about it.

The 1.2 Kernel works with 11 to 14, as long the chanel choosen in the router is similar or lower than the amount of chanels choosen in the phone.

So in short terms, I guess I can confirm that the wifi driver thinks we are in the US.

take care!
[Desire Android Development] stfnlg:
Hi,

is there a possibility that you a have a shortcut to a non-existent app in your launcherpro dock at the bottom ? I had this problem, when i restored Launcher Pro with Titanium Backup. The backup was made with a different rom. After i fixed the shortcut to existing app, everything worked well.

Stefan
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Do you have Beautiful Widgets somehow? (An update pack of BW, actually)
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
Yes you are correct. This can be achieved by the following

If your using a second SMS Application.

You will need to turn off notifications in the Default Messaging Client.

This can be done by opening, Messages.

Hit Menu. Go to settings.

And remove a tick out of Notifications. :D
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I'm not using handcent or anything like that for the notification just standard sms app (to my knowledge at least), so I can't really tell what is generating "you have unread messages" notification. I'm using laucherpro as a launcher, but I have disabled the option to display the unread count at the bottom. This started upon upgrading to gv 1.0 and now it's still here with 1.1.

Can you help me isolate this?
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
Same with the 1.4 Kernel. Wifi works when the chanel is set to 11 or lower in the router.

Please bring my wifi back to good old europe! ;)

Keep up the great work!

thanks a lot - I use this method also, I really would like to be able to see my contacts listings come up when I press the dialler pad just like I can on froyo and other roms, (preferably without having to grab a custom contacts dialler apk)
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Hmmm, yes. But how could it generate notification for unread sms?
[Desire Android Development] dave7802:
It must be a configuration you have done on your phone.

I have not had this issue.

Maybe check your settings in the Messaging Settings.

Failing that did you wipe and install when you went from 1.0 to 1.1

If you did wipe and install. did you backup your settings and import them back in.

I know sometimes that causes crazy stuff to happen
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
If I turn notification in messages I'm only receiving this new notification I was talking about. It says: New Message(s) You have an unread message.

I did full wipe before installing 1.1 and had this issue even before I restored my apps.

EDIT: btw, when I click this notification it takes me to messaging app. But it doesn't get cleared from notifications unless I open new message or click Clear button in notification

EDIT2: OK, figured it out thanks to emirhan87. It's been caused by the dumb Beautiful widget sms. What's crazy is that I've never used this stupid widget and it gives me notification! Uninstalling it...

Thanks everyone
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Maybe it got something to do with the different channels the network use?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Got a different the stock SMS app installed?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
That is not possible, The stock android dailer does not support it so if you want it you need another dailer "D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe u actually have an unread message... maybe read/open all messages and see.. if.not, only other thing I can suggest is to delete all.messages (can make a backup if necessary) and see if it continues...
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I had it installed but never used the damn thing! I guess it somehow ran automatically and notification was on by default.

And the only way to get to the options to disable notification is by adding the damn thing to homescreen. Dumb addon to BW, pack2

Battery Drain

Can someone explain this?

This happens every Night.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
And that is during the night? maybe go into spare parts and go to battery history and where it says other usage, change this to partial wake usage and see what is waking the phone up? or maybe it is not sleeping?
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
That was quick. Just checked out the new 1.4 Kernel from Villain setup (HAVS/BFS@1113mhz/900mv) and my wifi is back in europe. Chanel 12 set on router and wifi working perfect.

Thanks Richard!
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:

[Desire Android Development] HoR77:
my home button doesn't work somehow

not within a program and not on homescreen itself, so just nowhere

why could this be and how to fix ?
[Desire Android Development] Bucci:
I has big problems with updating from 0.9 to 1.0 or 1.1 - at the end it was maybe my fault... I tried to install percentage battery with gb battery style (don't like circles).

After this installation hangs whole rom on VillainRom bootimage.

Does it exist GB battery style with percentage for 1.1?

Does anybody to change Notification power widget with GB icons? How?
[Desire Android Development] bootlog:
The Waking ups are disturbing, but they don't cause SUCH battery drain. As one can see in the image above, the extreme drain coincides with a sudden phone signal activity, that does not stop before the phone shut down.

I use GV since v1.0, now i have 1.1. The Problem was there from the beginning and i have it still.

I wiped, reinstalled, tried some different kernels, nothing seems to help. There is no such problem with any of the Froyo ROMs. Next thing i will try is CM7 RC1. Btw, newest radio is installed.

I read about that exact same problem in this thread before, but it was not reported that someone has solved it.
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
Yes sorry I was meaning blufrost. So how do I disable it if I need to? Just flash original framework?
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
It generates a "beautiful" sms notification for you. I've had this, uninstalled it.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I made last night!! - http://mattman.org/images/files/GV_BATT_PER.zip please read my own quote!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] prm4:
thanks for letting me know,

Dialer One

in the Market has sorted this issue.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
personally, i think it is an app waking the phone up. thats why i said, go into spare parts > battery history > partial wake useage - which tells you what app is waking the phone up. It will probably tell you that an app is waking up through the night! Did it go from 70% to 0% and was that over night?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Nice one :cool:. Thanks for this
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It is in Villain Setup, for easy access ;)
[Desire Android Development] bootlog:
Unfortunately i can not do this now, as the statistics from last night are already gone (wipe). But it even happens, if there are no apps installed at all (except the ones that come with the ROM) and only during the night.

Exactly. It went from 100% to 70% during the day and it was at 70% when i went to sleep. But in the morning the device lies dead on the floor instead of waking me... And that every night. Of course it would "solve" the problem if i charged the phone every night, but i'm looking for an actual solution.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So it even does it on a clean install - even so i think SP should show something in partial wake up, as the phone is waking up and doing something!

Obviously every phone acts different. It could be because of your signal at your house/where you sleep. If it is trying to connect to 2g then 3g then 2g then 3g... then it will use a lot of battery!
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Nice, not my work though
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I sometimes find "Dialer" process puts partial wake well up
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I didnt put it in there, RichardTrip must have liked it too :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Re looking at your picture, it is an app waking up the phone. The bit that says aktiv is on off on off on off, this is the phone waking up, and then going back to sleep. Maybe an update interval, facebook, twitter or something! Spare Parts will definatly help!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
if you look at the pic, it is an app keeping the phone awake. Howver, looking at the signal, it is a strong green, does this mean its on a 3g using loads of battery (even though i know it will be an app)...
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Try to install System Panel and to activate its "Monitoring" feature: it's able to point out what app/service is sucking up battery juice at a given time, via convenient graphs.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure, I couldnt see the pic before. But the drop off starts when it goes solid green.

Looking at mine, there is very little solid green.

I can only assume its massive up / downstream
[Desire Android Development] bootlog:
As i said, the statistics are all gone for now, i will check SP tomorrow morning.

But about the picture: the activity you are talking about is there all day, but still the curve is rather plane. but then suddenly, from one point the curve is extremely steep. And THAT exactly coincides with a sudden phone signal activity, meaning non stop activity using 3g, 2g, or a gsm call, or what ever. That can not be explained by activity only.

Another thing one can see in the picture, is that wifi was active all night, so there was no need to use mobile data (for whatever reason it could possibly need so much data during the night).
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
But the Aktiv translate to Awake - where it is pretty much solidly awake.

Mine goes green (the signal) when i have a good signal, usually H, and it doesnt take my battery down, not 70% when i'm a sleep! that is a lot!!!
[Desire Android Development] bootlog:
Now i have only System Panel Lite, but i think i will buy the full version, it is a very useful app. So I will probably try this tonight.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Green in that display just means a strong cellular signal. It doesn't indicate data use, data connection or even 3G - because that's the colour it shows when I leave mine in its overnight mode (2G only, data off, WiFi off).
[Desire Android Development] dirtyfrog:
Can anyone tell me how to change the Wifi Sleep Policy? Can't find the setting anywhere....

And is Spare Parts installed with this rom? I don't seem to have it, but I have been doing some tinkering with Titanium Backup and may have accidentally removed it.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu button > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > select 'Never' > Menu button > 'Save'

Don't think SP is pre-installed.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
settings > wireless & Network > wifi settings > MENU - Advanced > Sleep Policy!

I'm not too sure if it is included. I will find out! Give me two minutes! No It isn't!!! :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
So as it is strong it could be switching between 2g and 3g...

I just thought, the phone is awake, so i dont know why i'm still looking into this, im 99% sure it is an app..! lol!
[Desire Android Development] Blondie123:
Hi,

at the moment I amusing GV1.0 and I want to update to GV1.1.

What to do? Just flash it over the existing GV1.0? Or do I have to wipe something? Dalvik only?

Sorry for that n00p question...
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
I've upgraded without wiping anything, just flashed over 1.0, so far so good :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You should be able to flash over the top - however if anything goes wrong make sure you have a back up - I would nandroid, and then flash! just to be sure! :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I only wipe if Im having problems or going between totally different roms (which I dont really do),

Just flash it and see what happens. If you encounter issues, then wipe afterwards
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Only time i have seen this kind of drain was when the wifi sleep policy was not set to never. Please double check.
