This rom seems slicker and faster than ever...I actually had a few minor problems with 1.7 but is very nice.

Richard, any views on cyanogen selling out and the implication on the cm commits....unless it's an april fool....
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
All works fine with 1.8 :-)
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Does GingerVillain support Data2SD Techniques such as APP2SD+ or other scripts? Is one of those build in or only the stock App2SD?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If its that line I emboldened, it just says that. It has still worked.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Data2sd is different from a2sd+. It has dark tremor a2sd+ built in.

Richard, working great so far. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] CountZer0:
Anyone tried SPB Shell 3D as launcher with this ROM? I tried it on both Defrost 6.1, GV 1.7 and GV 1.8 and always go into a bootloop after a reboot.

Had to restore from recovery and wipe everything to get my phone to start again...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
anyone having any issues with fox to phone / chrome to phone? Havent used it in a while so not sure when it last worked.

Huge delays but after phone reboot, sometimes theyre there.

adblocking isnt working on 1.8 for me:confused:......any ideas ?
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
Did you flash the adblocking mod again after upgrading to 1.8?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Maybe that's because of using recording feature from 2.* kernels in this patch.
[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
The problem was present before that recording feature, I believe?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Add blocking works by putting known addresses in a file called system/etc/hosts. This is exactly the same principles as desktop computers.

Either flashing a hosts file or amending via adfree adds these addresses.

However, since flashing a Rom completely over writes system, your amended file is gone.
[Desire Android Development] CiPhEr-|-:
The s-off version of ad-blocking is working on my 1.8...
[Desire Android Development] Last Second:
Hello guys, anyone here able to tell me something about the smoothness and performance of the newest gingervillian?

Allready tried CM7 RC4 and the performance and whole setup was very much worse than on Oxygen 2.02.

But I do love the kernels of gv and would give it a shot, if anybody can affirm that the performance/smoothness of gv isn't much worse than on oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] TyKH:
I thought that the Dalvik cache was something more technical so I didn't look into it. Also all the guides I found of having more space on the internal storage didn't mention Dalvick.

Installed the quick system info and yes, there is the space :D. Thanks man!!! Now I can install like crazy (gave 1,5 gb storage xD)
[Desire Android Development] fossean:
I just installed the 2.0e HAVS kernel, but the havs_vdd_levels file appears to be missing, so I can't change the voltages.

There is, though, a vdd_levels file — maybe an SVS kernel has been mislabelled on the server?

EDIT: Just reinstalled same kernel, and now it's working. :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Moving Dalvik is a particular feature of the DarkTremor a2sd script, so general guides usually don't mention it.

You will still use a little internal storage, and most likely that will be an issue before you use up 1.5 GB of ext. But there are ways of dealing with that when/if it becomes a problem.
[Desire Android Development] grahamkdt:
Awesome ROM!

Thanks my friend... this ROM is slick and ultra-quick. In fact, the more I mess around with my device, the more I'm amazed at just how quick it is. It's like someone replaced my processor with a dual-core!

Excellent work! Best ROM available in my opinion ;)
[Desire Android Development] dziegiel:
Wow, the devils page 666 ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I always find that when I flash a new Rom, I have to 'activate' the C2P after, even though it says it is activated... I usually go into the app, menu, settings, disconnect phone.. then a POP up asking t allow, and then reconnect the phone through the steps... however, I always wipe before install, and it may be different for you....
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes it works. You just have to update the hosts file. Unless you linked it to data which doesn't need s-off and doesn't get overwritten
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
Hey guys has anyone tried sd speed boost yet? It makes a big difference
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Tried it. Can't say it's much of a difference for me, except that sd speed benchmark brings better results.

Maybe quickpic loads faster...
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Yes it's a lovely app, makes it less of a pain than echoing into /sys/ or writing of copying an init.d file. WIth a class 2 8GB sdcard reads went from ~14MB to 26MB when I set it to 1024, stuff like opening gallery, videos and games that loads the backend off the sdcard (like EA Mobile games) is greatly sped up. It won't make a difference on writes though.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Cant find this app in market, what is the full name of the app?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I haven't even noticed differences in the benchmark.

Maybe it's linked to the SD card speed... Mine's a class 2...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Whenever I flash a new rom, its already disconnected for me so I have to reconnect it (when I remember).

Ive disconnected manually but no dice.

Might just wipe the app.
[Desire Android Development] xkdm:
I've got the same issue since 1.6 with the app "Application Protection"..

My phone always reboot :-/

Back to 1.5

Description here..

Edit : It seems to be the kernel, I flashed to 2.6.37 ( 2.0b HAVS 1113Mhz + CFS ) when i was to 1.5 version, and since that, when I upgrade to superior version, the kernel is always here.. I'll try another kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Hits4Clits:
I have a huge problem with Gingervillain 1.8 :( I am not able to recieve any calls since i flashed it, the people who call me are told I am unavailable.. I can recieve messages, and I am also able to send messages and make calls. I live in Norway and use Netcom, and I am on the latest Android (stock) Radio, and use the kernel that came with GV. I am also unable to access the lockscreen, it just goes straight to my home screen when i go back from sleep mode :confused:

Thanks for any answers!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What Rom did you come from and what was your flash routine?
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
Hi,

Just tried this rom. Looks nice.

I have two issues so far:

How to remove/change titanium backup? it's recognized as system app.

Also I don't see any widgets other than those who came originally with rom.

I set up default location of files as external drive and also moved every app to sd-card at titanium. Is it related?

Sorry if it's noobish but I came from StarBurst rom with data2sd so it's my first time with non stock app2sd.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Update:

New kernels (2.0f).

2.6.38.2 kernel

All previous functions are available (havs/svs sysfs interface, call recording, bfq, 128Mhz,ds2784 battery calibration).

Big thanks to pershoot and intersectraven for the base kernel.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Moving to sd with titanium is like Froyo move to sd. Set install location as internal and move everything back to phone.

A2sd works automatically.

See post 1 also to move dalvik cache

If you want more info about a2sd+ / apps2sd+ theres an faq in my signature
[Desire Android Development] xkdm:
Thanks richardtrip, i'll try this now, perhaps my problem can be solved with this new kernel

Edit : problem not resolved.. I don't know how to resolved my issue... :(
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Did you try an .35 kernel? If it's not working on a .35 .37 and .38 kernel then i don't think it is kernel related. Did you ask the author? probably best way to go.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
The new Kernel works fine :-)

Anyone else having problems with Spb-TV? Starts, but when the stream should begin it doesn't react anymore.
[Desire Android Development] eastonfr:
Whats ds 2784?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Yes. But I was trying to say not this. Recording feature is used (I guess) for eliminating this problem, so it won't work on .35 EViollet's kernel. But my assumption can easily be wrong.
[Desire Android Development] kleinmischa:
i'm right that there is no possibility to change the icons in the notification bar with GV 1.8? It doesnt work with mods in villain setup, but also not with other themes o.0

signing in probs with 1.8

Hi Richard,

Your ROM is awesome.

Just wanted to report that after flashing 1.8 w/ default kernel, i had trouble signing in to Amazon Appstore and Skype. Market was ok, as was the other usual stuff gmail et al.

flashed back to eviollet's .35 kernel sorted me out for above problems, but 2sec delay is now back.

thx again!!
[Desire Android Development] Ninolina:
Where can I find this new kernel? I don't see the right link in first post..:-( Thanks..:-)
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
Use Villain Setup.

Harald
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
For a2sd read the first post in this thread carefully.

For removing Titaniumbackup (or any system app) download the rom to an PC. Open, not unpack, the rom with winrar and remove the app.apks you don't like from the system/app folder. Close winrar, copy rom to phone and flash in recovery.

Harald

P.s. be carefully with removing system apps. Some apps are needed for normal phone operation
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
For removing Titanium you can also use SystemApp Remover. Don't forget to make backups, of course. Second, you musn't move widgets to sd. As an alternative you can add ext partition to your sd-card and utilize a2sd feature.

Hi anyone notice Google's logo from android browser today ... ice cream ... is the new honeycombed android for phones arriving ... more new roms ...

PS only posting here as stuck on gingervilian for a while now as just works nice smooth and fast good work Richard
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
I don't think it is related to Android, it is also on the PC browsers.

From Wikipedia:

"The sundae is an ice cream dessert. It typically consists of a scoop of ice cream topped with sauce or syrup, and in some cases other toppings including chopped nuts, sprinkles, whipped cream, or maraschino cherries. The first recorded sundae was on Sunday, April 3, 1892."

Is anyone else having trouble with the sysfs interface on the last two havs kernels?

I installed 2.0f HAVS kernel, and the vdd_levels_havs file is now missing from /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq. I briefly had the same problem with the 2.0e HAVS kernel, but it was fixed by reinstalling the kernel.

Am I missing something really obvious? Perhaps the implementation has changed, but I can't find anything on this through searching.

[Desire Android Development] Hits4Clits:
I came from a Custom rom that was just like the original rom, but with superuser and HD. I don't remember the name :S I flashed with Ra-recovery 2.0.0 and used the "install from SD-Card" command, after i did a complete wipe. Nothing was left on the SD-card before I installed :)

Guys, is there an opportunity to use N1 HBoot Table without moving dalvic to ext?

Or is this a must-do ?

I've got just a class 2 card, but i want to have ~ 200 mb /data and the fastest experience as possible.

Anybody an idea?
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
No, not necessary. I have N1table and after fresh install you'll have approximately 150mb's free for apps. Using Froyo's native a2sd that should be sufficient (it is for me anyways). If you're not using a2sd+ (for instance when you don't have an EXT partition), then you can even remove this (download terminal app, command: 'a2sd remove'). Anyway, it certainly isn't a must-do...
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Hi Richard.

Your latest 2.0f and 2.0g (both) must be break something on CIFS support. 2.0e work fine.

logcat dont throw any warning or error about this.

The only error are throw from mount:

#mount -t cifs -o username=Theliel,password=xxxx //x.x.x.x/Medios /sdcard/Medios
mount: No such file or directory

Prior 2.0f+, all worked fine
[Desire Android Development] devcager:
Is there any other kernels to flash in GV? I got some problems with wi-fi, maybe it could help??
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Fixed in a sec:

2.0h kernels.

Recently CIFS was changed to use the kernel crypto API for MD4 hashes

The only problem was the MD4 crypto previously not included at all but because of the new cifs dependency included as a module. You could have loaded the module by hand (insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko) but it is compiled in the kernel now.

Very strange, as soon as i start a download from market the whole rom freezes and starting to bootloop.
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
I use the N1Table. I highly recommend you just move the Dalvik to the /cache partition...your internal NAND is faster than your SD should be, and the N1Table has a 90MB /cache partition (more than enough for the Dalvik + downloaded market apps)

Use the command in terminal or adb shell:

a2sd cachepart

noob partition help!

Hi, have been using defrost for some time now and would like to take the plunge to GV.

I am getting a new sd card to try this and would like some suggestions on the ext mem setup.

previously I just used the Rom manager to do the partition for 512mb, will the same be sufficient for GV?? will there be much gain if I made it 1gb??... Im treating myself to a 16gb card:p

quite a noob to this and phone is s-on.... that s-off looked abit confusing:confused:

My input method keeps changing from swype/swiftkey to the default. After the input changes and I have a look at the settings, Swype is disabled and I have to enable it again, very annoying. Anyone knows a solution?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Not a huge gain from using a 1gb sd-ext, as the ceiling is likely to be reached due to your limited internal storage first. If you plan to install a lot of apps, making ext 1gb instead of 512mb makes sure you only have to do it once (e.g. I've got 154 apps installed, taking up 200 mb on internal and have just about crossed the 500 mark on my 1gb ext).

I'd recommend you use Gparted to make the partition, however, rather than rom manager. It's easy enough to use (there are guides in this forum) and you are sure it will be done right, which may not be the case with rom manager, if it can even do partitions bigger than 512 (haven't checked recently)

SwiftKey'd from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
1 to 1.5 GB is plenty, if you do 512MB now you'll probably regret doing it months later when you start filling up with tons of apps (I have tons and I'm using just under 380MB of apps on sd-ext).
[Desire Android Development] sunster:
Strange that rinaldiluca is the only other user that is having the same issue as me. I've been troubleshooting ever since i posted this and unfortunately i cannot find the root cause. The main thing i was able to test was that i do not have this issue with DeFroST 6.1 or CyanogenMod 6.1.1.

I love Gingervillain but i will have to leave it for now as having my bluetooth voice commands is mandatory (no cell phone while driving laws here)

kernel experiences .37 vs .38

Hello!

Since there are optimizations for thread handling in .38 that is according to Mr. Linus supposed to be "Amazing" I was wondering does this help at all on the desire and how is battery life and so on compared to .37?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
use a custom MTD but make the cache size and system size larger

145 system and 35 cache

the text file should look like 145 35

if you have problems restoring do a reboot so the cache clears and continue restoring.

its likely some of the stuff you were restoring is a system file which 140mb system only gives you 60k of breathing space as GV has got larger in the last few months

you could try removing things like rommanager and carhome if you dont use them to free up system space

apps2sd not working

i have just tried gv again but still cant get the apps2sd working. im going back to defrost 6.1a which is rock solid. dont really understand whats going wrong, could it be my sd ext and swap?

and yes i tried post 1
[Desire Android Development] KazeXT:
Yep, I've found this too. Initially, I installed 1.8 over 1.7 - in this case, the market caused the phone to crash, but it would reboot back into the rom before crashing again.

I then did a full wipe and this time the market crashed and caused the phone to go into a bootloop.

Going back to 1.7 for now...

ClockworkMod

GingerVillian Rom 1.6

It's been about 3 weeks since my last flash. Haven't had any problems with the phone at all.

Was simply using Facebook on my phone tonight. It froze for some reason and was completely unresponsive to all buttons - so I pulled the battery.

It now won't turn on at all - not activity from the phone at all.

What I've tried / found....

Plugged in with NO battery inserted - LED Flashes between Green/Orange

Plugged in with NO battery, then insert battery - LED stops flashing and goes blank.

Plugged in with battery - No LED activity

Power button - No response

Power + Back Button - No response

Power + Vol Down - No response

Plugged into PC - No response on PC

Removed Sim Card

Removed SD Card

Different battery from GF stock desire.

Seems completely dead! :(

Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this??

I could the motherboard but that one is already replaced due heating problems. I always used a protective case so it looks perfect.

The thing is... If HTC replaces some hardware and it starts working again.. It has GingerVillain on it.........

The NAND chip that contains Gingervillain, recovery etc is part of the motherboard so if they replace it, thats gone too.
