Yeah i think since this is aosp rom, it doesn't have all hardware support yet, not all phones have led lights, like sgs.

My led works like this:

Notifications give a lit green light.

Charging doesn't give orange light, only green at 90%.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Wish you Richard and all others a hapy new year :-)
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
My led notifications seem to work. Red while charging. Green when done. Red blinks on new messages, missed calls etc.

I guess the possibility to untick/tick led notifications for email etc. is a HTC Sense feature?
[Desire Android Development] julian.kueh:
Happy New Year everyone. I've been runnung this Rom with .27 radio for the past 24hrs and battery life has definitely improved while on 3G and Wifi. I'm a happy camper.

[Desire Android Development] matawww:
hi guys....

Just one amater question,

Is it possible to use contacts and phone app from miui rom, as they are imo quite good and fast...

Thansk in advance for answers!
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Sticking to Ginger Villain for now, as Oxygen became battery-eater and sluggish after some days of uptime.

This ROM, as usual, is fast and responsive and its power consumption is a nearly flat line (default kernel, all on).

As usual, awesome work Richard. :)
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Have Testes Oxygen too . Richards Rom is 1000 time better , Love DeFrost an now i Love this Rom :)

Please can somebody tell me....how to make update from 1.4 to 1.5?

Just update ROM, not installing new 1.5...if it's possible...can't do it through ROM manager...

Have to ask 1 more question...i am little bit mad about it :mad:

Wireless signel is to poor in GVillain...it's much better in froyo, and it's very good quality in REDUX (but I don't like something other in this ROM) but very poor quality in GV...I thought that will be better in 1.5 but isn't...
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Dude, what's your problem? Is it just my imagination or are you honestly just trying to slam every other post and appear clever with the use of semantics you end up missing questions directly addressed at you e.g. on custom MTD? Have I done something silly to cause you offense?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its a flashable zip. Add it yourself. Its easier than Richard making 2 roms. 1 for you and 1 for everyone else.

Everyone has to compromise. There is 1 standard build which everyone modifies to their own needs.

Not sure if data2ext works. I used to use data2sd but GV 0.8 onwards didnt work.

However this is no bad thing.

I did some tests and confirmed that AOSP roms do not unmount /data cleanly. This means if you use data2ext, every time you turn off your phone, you risk complete data loss.

Here is my result~:

But if you want to risk it...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Please don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with you at all.

That first post was aimed at the person who didn't read our full conversation and gave irrelevant recommendations. It just happened to be that that person was you. I started the post with "Ha" and ended with a ;). It was a light hearted post on my part so I am sorry if you have taken it in another way.

The second post was aimed at the person who posted after me about radios, almost suggesting that my post was not helpful. However, I do believe that you cannot be any more helpful than that and my reply was to that person, clarifying that belief. Again, that person just happened to be you. Both posts, if they had come from someone else would have garnered the exact same response.

Like I said, no problem at all, but this is a thread and it sparks debate. If I feel a post requires response by either being bad advice, good advice or irrelevant advice - I will reply. I am quite blunt and to the point but that is my way.

Chill out ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes

You're getting close now.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Isn't this best left for Richard to answer? Now you're answering on behalf of the dev, and in such a tone...I'm outta here...LOL...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
So you disagree that making 2 roms is harder and more time consuming than making 1?

I answered in a straight forward, no nonsense and to the point tone, which I have explained to you earlier is just my way and demeanor.

Stop acting like a child. You say I'm singling you out when in reality it is you singling me out. Editing my posts out of context too... The rest of that post gave very useful information, which you happily overlooked to your own end.

I come to this thread to get help, see others' problems and if I can help, I do. Richard has even thanked me in a PM for my contribution to this thread. Why are you so quick to judge?

I have no more time for these childish arguments with you.

The great thing about this thread is the friendliness and helpfulness that you get from everyone. I have seen other threads with an almost violent tone throughout and I am sure pretty much all on here would want to stay well clear of heading that way.

I have both received and seen the help that RootSu gives over a long time both on here and at Android Forums and the blokes an absolute star and by far one of the most helpful people you will find in the world of Android.

Keep smiling people, we have a great ROM and a great forum :-)

Just installed 1.5 comming from leedroid and it all seems good to me.

1 Q and its probley a easy fix/setting i cant find but some of the icons in the task bar are white and some are green. Say the time/clock is white but the signal meter is green. Anyway to make it all white?
[Desire Android Development] Jaykay1976:
They go green when you are connected to Google's servers mate. Have a look in villain setup as sure there are white ones in there.

If not then they are a few pages back in this thread.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
Still no google backup support.
[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
Anybody think they can help me out with this?

Now im not sure if this is a Gingerbread "Feature" or not, but i've tried 3 separate ROMs and they all seem to behave similarly (CM7 RC1/2, Oxygen, and of course GingerVillian). Also tried the Sense GB port and same result

Now the problem that im experiencing is if I make a phone call and the other party hangs up then it automatically locks up the screen. I mean even if I get a busy signal or network error, the screen will lock up as long as the proximity sensor is activated.

I've tried numerous settings and changes and even a bunch of apps, yet I still receive the same results.

Can anybody shed some light on this problem? Heck, even if you could tell me whether or not the problem occurs on your side would be a great help.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Here you go - everything white
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I can confirm that lockscreen appears for me the same way you mention. If I hang up, it doesn't.

Maybe its a security feature.
[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
Thank you. The problem is it doesn't appear as if any ROMs have a workaround.

And surprisingly not many people are complainging about the issue. It might be minor but it's especially annoying when you call someone and it's busy and you have to keep unlocking the phone.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Actually although I know I have had this before, I just tested it and it went back to call log. :-$
[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
:eek::eek::eek:

You had the proximity sensor activated right?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Good point, I didn't put the phone up to my ear....
[Desire Android Development] brummer101:
Go to Call Settings, check Always back to Call Log?

@Oqudsi, I've had the same thing happen to me, even with the "always back to call log" option set.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
Tried that didn't work :(
[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
:D

Yeah, this is extremely frustrating. Im pretty sure it has something to do with Gingerbread not allowing lock screen disabling, but the workaround problems do the same.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
With Dialer One i have no problems at all.

Even if i use "allways back to call log" or "close after call"...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Mines set to return to dialer but it always goes to call log. However when I open phone it opens dialer.

If this is not set, when I open phone it defaults to call log.

Not sure if this is relevant but mentioned anyway
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've got lockscreen sliders disabled. I only ever see them when bring called or after a call, but not when actually locked...
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Just noticed there's a "keep screen awake" option. Anyone tried that? Figure it'll noticeably affect battery life if you have long phonecalls though.

[Desire Android Development] Oqudsi:
Tried that as well doesnt seem to have any effect either.

Music Player Problems

Installed 1.5 last night, upgraded from 1.1 that was running well previously. Working great, no FC's, slow downs or any peculiarities that I can find.

I am having one strange problem, however. It seems in whatever Music app I use (have tried Music 2.3, 3.0 and latest Winamp) several of the albums on my SDCard have been split into multiple parts and single albums are being displayed as two separate, smaller ones. I've wiped my music data and phone cache several times, triple checked IDTags, deleted the old copies and added new rips, and in every order I can imagine and can't fix the problem.

Seems to be only on some albums and I've managed to "fix" two of them (somehow, seems arbitrary), but still have a few with issues. Everything is stored in /sdcard/media/[artist]/...

Any ideas? This is baffling to me. And quite a pain as I listen to the albums frequently on my commutes.

UPDATE: Ended up moving from /sdcard/media to /sdcard/music, force stopping the music player and clearing data several times, made new rips of certain things, and eventually it seems to have been solved. Still no idea what was going on here though. But whatever, back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i have this issue too but ive had it on a few stock android even on my old galaxy 1 when proximity is triggered and then pulled away from the headset

the reason behind this is to stop accidental touches when the phones in the pocket

i believe the device feels the screen off is from proximity is the same behaviour as locking the screen instead

Good morning from Adelaide.

I've been trying to keep up with this thread but......

Can anyone tell me if a solution has been found to the problem some of us are having where our desire goes into a bootloop no matter what kernel we flash via recovery or villain setup?

The only suggestion I've seen on this thread is to wipe dalvik before flashing, but that didn't work.

I'm happy with stock kernel but would love to try some of richard's and eviollet's other handiwork.

Thanks all.

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Back to that audio delay thing: it is my humble opinion that running richards kernel (even newest 1.8 havs) gives me no more than .5 sec delay, compared to the eviollets 1.3 havs axi with 2 sec delay. I mean no disrespect for eviollet but that's just how it feels for me.

I'm cheering for both richard and eviollet to sort this out.

There seems to be a bug where if gps is off, if you turn it on it doesn't work.

Ensure its on then reboot and test again.

Some folks at AF have noticed this.

I.didn't as there is no need for me to turn gps off. If its not being used, its not using power
[Desire Android Development] floyd0815:
@williamj and staggers

I haven't wiped anything since GV1.2. (without problems)

Downloading 1.4 again for flashing, will report if prob remains.

EDIT: Problem is gone after flashing GV1.4 again!

I'm sure I checked the md5sum of GV1.5, so I don't know what went wrong.

Will wait for GV1.6 to come.

After rebooting it seemed to work, but after turning off and on again it did not work :(

Is there no solution for it?

Otherwise i have to switch back to 1.4...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Like I just said if its turned off it won't turn on unless you reboot ;)

Work around 1 (leave gps on)

Work around 2 (reboot phone)

Until Richard fixes it. I believe he is aware.

Work around 1 makes more sense. As I say unless you're specifically using gps, no power is used anyway

Prior to gv 1.5 we were advised to set it to the last option, 'never'.

Perhaps someone else can offer a better explanation?
