Hi guys,

i have read all the posts, every single one, so i figured out what could/should/is best radio for this rom....but unfortunately i just can't find it anywhere - 32.49.00.32H_5.11.05.27

Any help would be really appreciated
[Desire Android Development] braaaiins:
Sent you the link.

Would have posted it but got "To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"

Bleak :(
[Desire Android Development] braso:
This ROM is looking good, glad I tried it. I'm going back to DeFrosT 6.1 for the time being until a few things are fixed up. Copilot won't work for me so that is the main reason. Will be good when a few more features are implemented including wake on OJ, video camera and FM radio.

Cheers, and in the words of Arnie "I'll be back!"
[Desire Android Development] julian.kueh:
Battery life on Ginger Villain is definitely better than stock Froyo and Sense. I can also safely say, for me anyway, that it's better than Oxygen RC4. I was using O-RC4 for a few days before switching to this one. Very happy indeed.

Flash issue

Hi Richard.

Didn't get flash working in 0.5. Tryed it with just updating from 0.4, flash is shown under applikations but doesn't work. tryed installing 0.5 after wipe, not able to install flash from market or titanium backup. So I switched back to my 0.4 backup. Can you fix that? Would love to have 0.5 running on my device but for now 0.4 is my choice because of working flash.

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
U had the same problem, uninstalling and installing again via market worked for me.
[Desire Android Development] belylal:
Check the first post in this thread, there's a pic of the recommended Radio for this ROM...
[Desire Android Development] mottikeren:
any chance to get in 2.3 the wonderful RTL support you had in 2.2
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Wich is the one you had in your post, just flashed it yesterday, works like a charm
[Desire Android Development] CJ900RR:
I seccon that. I have been a Oxygen user for a long time but since yesterday GingerVillain is my first choise. Batter life is superb!

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
That works for the flashplayer when you choose external memory in villain setup before installing flash. The widgets like SemI clock widget don't work when installed to external memory. And when I try to install it to internal memory it aborting the installation because there isn't enough memory. It works right now, because it was placed in the internal memory in v0.4. For that reason I won't be able to update it right now. I got it all working for the moment, but I am expecting bad surprises when certain apps want to update. So I think this is of interest for the development of the rom.
[Desire Android Development] PASCAL3492:
I 've tested this rom, and i am impressed by your work. It's the best ginger's rom i 've tested (stable and fast). Great , great job !
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
I absolutely agree. It's nice that this rom is sticking with a2sd+ instead of going the s-on+hboot route. It's actually what made me switch from oxygen rc4 to Ginger Villean. Most users really don't need more than a2sd+. I know I don't. I never encountered lack of space.

Sticking with a2sd (Google) AND a2sd+ makes this rom way more newbie/non tech friendly than Oxygen RC4+. Don't get me wrong Oxygen is a great rom, but as of RC4 it's a rom for experienced users. Newbies and non techs should definitely go for (and be adviced to use) Ginger Villean instead.

Cheers,

v

Edit: Oh, and no problems with Flash here and battery life is great. Using 0.5 after full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
Is there a FM radio APK working on this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] GrandPuba2000:
Anyone having problems with whatsapp? looks like I only receive messages when my phone is not in standby, or when I have the app open. Noticed this since using gingerbread on every rom I tested.

Anyone else having this problem with gingerbread? or having a solution for this? tried both installing to sd card as internal memory.

Or is whatsapp not compatible with gingerbread, do not see it in the changelogs.
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
There's no FM radio included. At least not yet.
[Desire Android Development] julian.kueh:
I was also having intermittent 3g and wifi connection on Oxygen. No such problems with GV in over 10hrs of constant use.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Whatsapp is working like a charm for me
[Desire Android Development] brummer101:
Which Radio are you using?
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
Ack, that sucks ass. Good luck at restoring everything!

I try to do a full sdhc fat32 backup (including Ti backups, nandroids, etc.) every couple weeks, but sometimes I forget.
[Desire Android Development] bangrahman:
I'm extremely sorry if this has come up before guys. However, I seem to have encountered a problem recently after flashing any ROM. My phone claims I'm getting a HSDPA signal (3 to 4 bars) and yet the speed is VERY slow. It's never been like this before. Help would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Trackball answering seems to be broken at 1.3 - can anybody confirm that? Some good news: echo was beaten only by 1.2 echo + mobile data fix, not by GV 1.3 itself or GV 1.3+RIL.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
That's a lighting computer, not a music one :D

Flashed 1.3 from desire hd rom yesterday. Tried to transfer an apk through bluetooth file transfer from my laptop to my phone but seemed to fail everytime. I there a fix for this?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
zip it.

/10 char
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Eeeehm, no, why would I?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Tried only the other day but kept hanging early on in the process

I have a trigger based scheduled task that runs a batch on my SD card but it relies on automount which I left disabled

Started from scratch just tasker to set up. Took up my entire evening. Fiance was surprisingly understanding :)

Only issue I have is no ringtones to choose in alarm app :/
[Desire Android Development] Bucci:
I have some strange behaviour with 1.3 (I'm using it 3rd day).

Yesterday and today morning was "deleted" all my apps moved to SD (all data user are on SD) all other apps installed into the phone (also to ext3 partititon) are well

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] karimero:
Bluetooth issues

I'm experiencing a serious Bluetooth issue since the installation of 1.3: it's impossible to pair the Desire to a bluetooth carkit. The device can be seen, but not connected to.

In the previous version (1.2) I experienced extreme crackling and voice distortion when paired to the carkit, but at least the phone was able to pair...
[Desire Android Development] floyd0815:
Someone else having blackscreen in camera/camcorder? (no picture)

Got this messages in logcat:

GV 1.3

newest radio (no change with other radio)

EDIT: The kernel caused the problem. Flashed the 1.5-HAVS-CFS again and it's good.
[Desire Android Development] Sylvania2:
Hi

Upgraded to GV 1.3 (not the "NEW RIL" file).. anyone else experience that wifi doesn't turn off when wifi is set to goto sleep with screen off?

Battery monitor shows power drain is:

40-45mA with wifi on and set to sleep when screen is off.

5-8mA with 3G data, Wifi off.

Entering the Wifi advance menu takes 10-15sek before it shows, some times a wait/close error.

best regards
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
For battery drain reasons on this rom, we are advised to set wifi sleep policy to never, so I doubt anyone else has this issue
[Desire Android Development] Sylvania2:
Hi

Thanx RootSU.. will try to set wifi sleep policy to never. And control wifi on/off with y5

best regards
[Desire Android Development] zombiefly:
This ROM is working well for me.

I don't have any echo on calls

On connecting to a call via BT car, there is a small amount of corrupt sound at the start of the call, but it works without issue after that

My only issue is battery life, i've changed to Thalamus 2.6.35.11 R5 today to see if that improves things

here's a screenshot of my benchmark, interesting score!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9788064/1737186823.png.jpg
[Desire Android Development] art_sn00p:
I've got this problem yesterday after installing new RIL from Vsetup. It hardly could be a reason but I've fixed this problem anyway.

Run terminal and type

#su

#a2sd repair

reboot

If it doesn't help

#su

#a2sd reinstall

reboot

All things must be working.
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
it was a joke :)
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Have restore BT pairings via TB or otherwise? This always gives me trouble

I've had my desire for a week and installed this yesterday, seriously impressed :) keep up the good work
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
So far I haven't seen any problems whatsoever been using this Rom since yesterday very early morning and after using it most of the day right now still got 30% battery having WiFi on all time :)

Thank You Richard for the amount of work you're putting into this Rom :)
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
we're is this option?
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
In the wireless and network, WiFi settings :)
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
but I don't find any option to disability or not the wifi when the screen is off..
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Settings -> Wireless -> WIFI Settings -> Menu button -> Advanced
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
Ah true that, forgot about the advanced menu :)

Do you guys know if its possible to get rid of the ad window? The ad block blocks all the ads but the space for it still appears n sometimes there's a little Droid there, which is kind of pointless pretty sure in froyo it used to get rid of the ads completely? Unless Google blocked it somehow in gingerbread?
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
...ooops, the MENU button, I forgot the MENU button!! :p
[Desire Android Development] VanGog:
Is it possible to uninstall some system apps (maps, titanium backup,...)?

I've tried with some uninstallers but no luck (uninstaller for root, systemapp uninstaller) :(

VanGog
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are you s off? You can do it that way... and have you tried in titanium backup? Or even an update script could remove system apps...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Simplest way if you're not s-off is to remove them from the rom zip file and reflash it without a wipe.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
@VanGog, if you're not s-off you can delete the apps in question from /system/app in the ROM zip and re-flash.

EDIT: Too slow to the draw...
[Desire Android Development] VanGog:
Thanks all of you for your quick response.

I will try to remove them in a rom file and reflash the ROM.

By the way I don't know if I'm S-OFF, because I'm quite n00b here :)

VanGog
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
I use a guide to uninstall the GenieWidget, but it's in Italian... :(

You must use terminal to give write permission to system directory, then remove the app.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You have to apply s off, http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
thi is a video guide: (please wait a confirm from another user) (it's a disclamier!!) ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FlcHUKIMmI&feature=player_embedded
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
If you dont know you are s-off, them you are S-ON :). You can check your screen on bootloader boot.

Basically, With S-ON you cant write on any system partitions like recovery, system... with S-OFF you can doing
[Desire Android Development] ramatomo:
my "workaround" work without S-OFF

I use it whit my device only rooted...
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I'm loving GV1.3 now. Without changing kernel and without SetCPU installled, I'm getting 1% drain per hour on mobile data with sync on, or 2% on wifi, which is fine for me. No stability issues at all, and easily fast enough to run PES 2011 which is the most demanding app / game I want. I hope the die-hards in the Defrost thread realise it's time to come over.

We don't have 720 camera yet, but the limiting factor on a Desire is the size of the lens not the definition of the image.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Yes, I know the proccess, but you requiered recovery mode and only work for /system partition, you cant for exampl flash recovery. This proccess its the same that use any rom.zip to update/flash any rom, and of course you can flash any rom with a good recovery without any s-off
[Desire Android Development] po_jo_45:
Just a quick question, should I install all the mods in villain setup?
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
The mods are optional, so you only need to install if you want to enable certain functionality. You can chose which music or gallery app you prefer for example. Many are aesthetic, e.g. different boot animations and themes. You can try them out and see what you think, it's all a matter of taste, and you can always revert back (the original framework is the first "mod" on the list, and you can reflash the rom if necessary).
[Desire Android Development] eastonfr:
Whats taking so long with 2.3.3 gri40.

Oxygen 2.3.3 been out over a week now
[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
Because CM7 isn't ready yet (?), and this rom is based on CM7. If you're in such a hurry, feel free to switch back to Oxygen?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, what u said.... :)

seriously though, can u tell me the difference between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, which you are so eager for?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
From what I know, the only addition in 2.3.3 is extended NFC support. Wouldn't know why we would want that, because the Desire does not contain an NFC chip :D

So I'm also curious why you would want this update :D
[Desire Android Development] Bucci:
CM7 nightly build already exist as GRI40 - so it's only some time to have it too :-)
[Desire Android Development] eastonfr:
Well for a start going by devnel and oxygen its faster with better battery life. Put this 2gethr with cm7 features it will b some rom
[Desire Android Development] po_jo_45:
Has anyone had any issues with sync, i have setup facebook, twitter and mail but they keep dissapearing every so often... which means they are not syncing automatically :(
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If its using terminal emulator, if you remove, when you reboot, it will re-appear.

Only real ways to permanently delete is ADB in recovery mode, or removing from rom.

Rom is much quicker.
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
Don't know what's going on with my Ginger Villian 1.1 My battery has been dying extremely quickly and I've checked to see if I've had any rogue apps already. My phone has been unplugged for about 4 hours and I'm already down to 78% left. It's on 2g and wifi only. It hasn't been like this before, any ideas?

Using Eviollet's 1.3 HAVS CFS kernel
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
maybe flash the latest 1.3 GV and one of the 1.5s kernels available from the villain setup, im using it and my battery lasted a day and a half having wifi on all the time and using ping most of the day or your battery needs recalibrating?

btw. is anyone else having the charge bug? the light gets green when it hits 90%?
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
I'm holding off on upgrading my GV based on the feedback in this thread. I've recallibrated my battery already.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
As far as I'm aware, light goes green at 90% on all aosp roms...
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
use that then... dont come here making demands its not like its "actually" been that long, maybe a few days and even then your argument that battery is better is down to kernel, if you use eviolletes kernel they are about the same

seriously though, we dont like attitudes in this thread and would rather not it turn into another oxygen argument thread so if you are going to start moaning about particulars then maybe you shouldnt post.

Have you actually used oxygen or devnul for long periods of time?

if the answer is yes then why are you complaining when you can just use them

If not then how can you complain without actually testing yourself?

my battery is fine and so is 1.3 on 2.3.2
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
After just hung my phone I've rebooted, now all the apps away.

When I type in the terminal is only A2SD Cachesd

ext partition not mounted can not move Dalvik

How can that be, against all life still wonderful, a wipe and Nand Restore nothing has worked, what can I do now? 'm a little perplexed
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Is 78% in four hours with wifi on not quite normal? I get about this and just thought this was normal as that's what I would get on sense unrooted?

+1.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
can you check to see if your fat32 partition is still intact?

can you use root explorer and still see all of your folders/file structure?

run h2testw on your sd to check for corruption
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
I will see , wait a second

Edit :

Quik system Info shows me A2SD 0,89 --> Free 662

RootExplorer Installes and shows me all ( in SD ext - dalvik cache all my apps are there . 204 udes 710 free

what do you mean with run h2testw on your sd to check for corruption , sorry i am confudes

Edit again, have found h2testw , will install now and test it
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I got a lot worse on sense, but about 5% every hour.. so I'm guessing it is normal... all processors r different and will run at different speeds temperature.. for instance I overclock to 1190 :D
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
Let me clarify- I haven't touched the phone at all. It might make sense if I was constantly using my phone during the 4 hours but I haven't.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
are you able to see sdcard and all data in sdcard is intact?

just cos some wierd stuff seems to be happening around here and im wondering if we can nail down what it is
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
I have running h2testw now, this takes 1 hour time ^^ in this time a cant see on sd card, i wonder about this problem , I got an sms, cell phone hung, I restarted and all went away. never seen something like and it just pisses me off to extreme :(
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I know that's what I meant too. Wifi is killer.

I take my phone off charge at 8, then if I turn off all data + wifi and leave it until 11.30. If I do this, it is about 90-93%. However with Wifi or data on all that time, it goes down to 75-80% not touching it.
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
do you use setcpu to underclock your device? and have all the sync off?
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Nothing working . Format SD Card , all data lost .. i am go cry a river
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Has anyone non-working trackball answering with GV 1.3?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've just had this. I managed to get my nandroid backup back off the sd card using handy recovery. It was a free version I extracted from ultimate boot cd (ubcd4win) but a quick google shows me it is now pay for.

Maybe you can find a free version somewhere?

Edit, heres the link to ubcd:

http://www.ubcd4win.com/downloads.htm

Big download for a 784KB app though.

EDIT>

Heres the free version

http://download.cnet.com/Handy-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10268457.html
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Thanks for that but I could not even save my Nandroid backup that only I could save even more fortunately is my Reware of MyBackup and got the SD card now Formatted Partitions, new, and will now try to flash the ROM again and hope that he Backup recordings.

Bad Day
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
I just did a test for you,

charged my phone to 100%, wifi ON, set cpu when sleep is 128-499, sync OFF,

after an hour the battery still remains 100% :p
[Desire Android Development] john014:
Question.

Does the Google backup feature work in this rom? I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find an answer.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Do you think this could be the ROM Dan? I looked on the other site, and saw your thread, seemed very weird! I dont know the going ons of the patch booting, but do know that this is weird! i guess i should make a backup and then back that up to my laptop... i'm worried :eek:
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Sorry, I dont think it does... :(
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Do not think that it comes from the ROM, it ran so far without problems, the only thing I've installed today was the theme for the Theme Chooser Honycomb, but it was morning already. I have no real explanation
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, but with it happening to two people it seems a bit dodgy! I mean, you dont know why it happened, and neither does rootSU, although you were both doing different things - and i guess rootSU wasnt kinda on 1.3 yet, it had just been flashed and not in the ROM (i think)..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its possible, however for me I think its more likely the patched CWM I am using.

Its hard to tell, but it has happened twice, both times after repatching CWM
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thats right, it was during my flashing.
[Desire Android Development] msfan01:
I get bootloops when i try to flash any od from uot kitchen...
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
Thanks dude, I use SetCPU profiles 245-998 screen on, 128-245 screen off.

The weird thing is that the battery has been way worse that last couple days than it has ever been =\
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
I found the older .35 kernel is better with WiFi on, and I average 6mA draw while at home connected to wireless-N (which is absolutely acceptable, and barely more than draw w/o it on).

The weirdest thing, though, is that it's completely random dependent on the access points. Some APs force my phone to draw 6mA, some in the 10-20s, and some in the 60-70mA range. No idea why.
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
When you say draw of 6 mA that is when idle right? What is the draw when the screen is on and you're using 3g for web browsing?
[Desire Android Development] joconsulting:
Hi Latty

It's quite sure it depends on the quality of the signal.

Wifi specs allow to use lower power when possible, and raise it if needed.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Yes, everything is very strange. I think Allien have taken possession of my phone:) I am testing just another SD card, maybe even my fault.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I'd say you probably have some application that's playing rogue with your battery.

Maybe Power Tutor can help you out.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you set your wifi sleep policy to never? very important.
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
maybe try some older kernels/radios?

guessing you dont have any back up batteries to see if its a battery fault or phones?

true, mines set to never
