[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
If something "just stops" working that will mean that something has changed - could be the network you are using, a software problem or even a hardware problem. In some cases you can't know that something has changed, but if you've changed or updated anything yourself, including (since you are on tour) using a different network, please let us know? Any information might help some reader to identify the problem.

Otherwise, all I can say is that I've not met this. Do you keep nandroid backups of recent setups? If so, try restoring from one and see if it fixes the problem (after a Titanium backup of your current setup/data, and a nandroid of your current setup in case that isn't the problem). If it does, restore from Ti selectively, or just restore everything from Ti and see if it breaks again (in which case it's one of your apps or settings). If reverting to an older backup (especially if it's an older version of the ROM) doesn't fix it, it's not a problem of your current software (ROM or user software/data), but something else (radio firmware, network, hardware,...).

(Note that I'm assuming here that your previous ROM was an earlier GingerVillain. If not, do not try restoring GV settings on another ROM, and did you wipe before installing GV?).

If you don't have an old nandroid, I'm less sure how to test it. If you can't think of anything that's changed I suppose you could try wiping and a clean install (after full Titanium Backup and nandroid, of course) and see whether that fixes it. If it does, it's something in your apps/settings/data, and the trick is to work out what.

If you think it might be a problem with 1.6, you could try downloading an earlier version from xda.richardtrip.org (1.4 would seem a safe choice) and just flashing it over without a wipe.

Not knowing the cause it's hard to propose a solution, so I'm really just throwing out ideas you could try. For sure not all of them can be right/helpful, and possibly none will help (if e.g. it's a network or radio problem), so please don't take them as more than suggestions. I have spent a long day working and then an evening down the pub, so I'd approach my advice with caution tonight!
[Desire Android Development] FunkyRabbit:
I have a big issue with this rom. After i flash the rom it stays stuck on the S-OFF boot animation. Somebody a idea?

thx
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
try with "fastboot erase cache". If you are stuck then, boot directly on recovery and wipe
[Desire Android Development] :
have you checked md5sum? Another possibility could be the sd card. if wiping doesnt bring any effect try to format the sd card again...

Wifi Problems

Love this ROM, its near perfect on my HTC Desire.

Switched form 2.0b HAVS kernel to 2.0b SVS + CFS kernel and the random re-boots stopped.

Battery life is superb, best ever.

The only small problem is the Wifi connection.

My phone has a lot of problems with the Wifi connection when switched from standby (screen off) to normal operation.

A lot of times the wifi connection is not properly made, wifi icon in view (white) but no data connection available.

Sometimes it switched on, green icon, after a while and sometimes i need to manually switch the Wifi connection off and on again.

I hope this will be fixed in the near future.

Harald
[Desire Android Development] botellito:
I posted my wifi issues a few pages back. i havent fixed it yet. i tried several kernels, but the same problem. only thing that helps is to turn flight mode on / off. but it seems that not much persons have wifi issues....
[Desire Android Development] FunkyRabbit:
Did that and nothing. It's the first rom I cant get it to work. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
I did have an issue with the wifi. When I switched it on, it would find the network ok, but the icon would stay white in the task bar, with no data. Then after 1/2 - 1 minute it would change to green and all work. Over the last couple of days this has changed, it now picks up my home network fairly quickly (5-10 seconds) and works fine. I've not changed anything.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What hboot are you on? If it is too small then the Rom won't boot...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Here's s tip.

Mount in recovery

Adb shell

Mount /system

ls /system

If there's a folder in.system called "lost+found"

The /system partition is too small
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
hi guys i really love this rom but now have a problem, while installing updates from the market my phone completly froze, no keys worked, nothing, so i pulled the battery.

After rebooting something strange must have happened, i only see the apps installed with the rom in the apps drawer. but in the settings i see al apps i had installed in grey showing sd.

is there any way how i can fix the problem or do i have to reinstall the rom?
[Desire Android Development] FunkyRabbit:
Alpharev Cm7 hboot
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Probably too small. Do what I said please and let me know.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Then that's why it doesn't load... u need atleast 145 of system partition... I'm on n1 table with no problems (after moving the dalvik cache)
[Desire Android Development] FunkyRabbit:
I moved to N1 table and it works! I didn't move the dalvik cache. Is that a must?

Thx for the help!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No its not a must. But you may start to get warnings about low space. If this happens you can then move the dalvik for a further 50mb at least.

I couldn't flash anything over the top of the Rom (i.e. font charger) as it was too large for my /system partition... I moved dalvik and everything was ok :)
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
i checked the card under windows and i can read the fat section without a problem, could it be a problem with the ext partition or is it something in the rom i destroyed, would really appreciate your help
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Could be a problem with EXT, but you wont see this in windows.

Have you got Gparted LiveCD?

If so boot into Gparted and boot phone into recovery. If its clockworkmod recovery, choose "mount USB mass storage".

Have a look at the status of your EXT.
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
im at work and don't have a linux machine here nor can i run a live cd, but i can excess the phone through adb shell if this helps?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You can try in adb shell

Mount /dev/block

and it should list all partitions (you are looking for mmcblk0p2) However, I dont think it can give any status information.

My thoughts are possible corruption of EXT FS, but we would need something dedicated to partitioning to check.
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
this command returns Mount: not found

but i can for example access the sd-ext directory and see all aps in there, and that should be on the ext partition right?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Mount can only be found when booted up in Android and not recovery right?

do you see an sd-ext folder? Or a /sd-ext allocation to a partition
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
sorry did not fully get the question, but maybe this information helps:

if i do an ls via adb shell i get this(hope this helps):

Same here. But its working after a few seconds...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It should definitely be there in recovery. The mount option is within adb shell, not within android.

However, I put a capitol "M" on "Mount" and I think it has to be "mount" not "Mount"
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
ok tried it again with lower case mount. this is the result:

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

sorry to bother you guys i am really not a technical guy, hope you can guide me through

DATA2sd

Is anyone using data2sd / data2whatever with this ROM?

If so which one worked best for you?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I used data2sd right up until GV 0.7 when it wouldnt work any more. I prefer a2sd.

AOSP (vanilla) doesnt unmount /data cleanly, causing risk of data corruption on shutdown, even with Journalling on. Droidzone informs me that they have got around this now, but I'm not going to try it again just yet

I would always go for data2sd over the others though. Its the most developed (and original) version.
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
ok that gives me:

The best thing now is to check the ext in gparted. Its clearly listed there and you can see the contents.

Could be a dodgy FS. You could titanium backup, refromat the ext and titanium restore.
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
checked it there i see both partitions. did a check and it showed up as ok. under linux i also see all folders, including all apps in one of them.

but somehow it seems as android is not linking to them, also i can go to the folders via adb
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Backup with ti and reformat it
[Desire Android Development] Manek49:
Hi, I made ext partition via CWM recovery and when I try move cache2sd it says that here is no ext partition, what's wrong?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Be sure to have the Fat first and then the ext, both as primary

Edit: damn, didn't see it was with cwm... Normally it must be ok then...

HTC Desire

Ginger Villain 1.6

Default kernel

XDA premium app
[Desire Android Development] Manek49:
I did it again and after it says that it's done, I try mount sd-ext, and it says there is no ext:-/
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
When you say you made it via cwm, you mean rom manager?

This option.removed from cwm a long time ago.

Rom.manager doesn't always work well. Always recommend gparted live cd.

Recently noticed cwm (including the alpharev modified version) doesn't play well with mounting and partitioning cards including via gparted on pvt 4 devices with erase size 40000

Please confirm your erase size.

Download terminal emulator from market

Type

cat /proc/mtd

And press enter. Hopefully its 20000. If its 40000 you should get AmonRA recovery
[Desire Android Development] Manek49:
I have PVT4, erase size is 20000 and I did it via Alpharev modified CWM.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ok. Since I've only seen partitioning issues on this version of cwm, and that's only today, it may not only be 40000 devices.

I recommend trying to flash cwm 2.5.0.7 http://db.tt/7PNHSE8 or amonra 2.0.1 http://db.tt/7PNHSE8 via the fastboot utility and try to partition via gparted

[Desire Android Development] Pitzbull:
Having one small issue with this otherwise fabulous rom. The proximity sensor does not seem functional when in phone calls. My fat ears keep putting ppl on hold whilst in conversations. Have had to resort to turning the screen off, which is annoying when not on phone to a mobile as I then have to turn the screen back on to end calls.
[Desire Android Development] Manek49:
Thank you, I did it via Gparted and it works.

I think it was said before that GingerVillain and Oxygen are 98% the same, so yeah, same Market as in Oxygen.

Installed this ROM a couple of days ago and it's great. Have yet to see an app FC. All the things that are supposed to work are working.

Battery usage is phenomenal (Radio 32.54.00.32H_5.14.05.17, didn't change the kernel, with my WiFi on most of the time, 3G all the time, played a few games, no heavies though), had only 21% loss after 26 hrs with the usage I mentioned above...

Thanks for this great ROM. So clean. So fast. So perfect.

[Desire Android Development] BriEE:
I don't understand how you can drain less than 1% per hour and while using some of the phone.... I drain 1-2% idle .. so for 26 hours it would drain way more than 30%, especially if I use it...

MMS issue/Bug:

I tried all possible configurations APN: MMS not sent.

[Desire Android Development] omohat:
I agree - the pure Gingerbread feel is great.

Also I forgot to add in my original post that I was amazed to see after the install that I had 192Mb free in my data partition (using the N1 table) - it almost makes A2SD redundant!! By comparison, with the N1 table I only had 100Mb free with CM. I can't wait for the next release of this ROM. Until then I think I'll just try some of the alternative kernels/mods.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I also made a themed Defrost keyboard... this was placed in Defrost setup as Defrost has the HTC IME included in the Rom... this one doesn't, and so the keyboard can just be installed as a data/app.. in Defrost, even with both keyboards, the original standard Android keyboard was always selected as default... you can have as many keyboards as you want installed.. I have the themed and still got the original gingerbread keyboard...

[Desire Android Development] emzed:
When I haven't used the devide for approx 30 minutes or more, I cannot turn it on at once. I need to press the powerbutton 3 times to turn on the device. Turning the device off is never a problem.

I have changed the radio but that didn't solve it. Also, with the same radio, I have used other roms (MIUI, Leedroid) that did not have this issue.
[Desire Android Development] mbroeders:
Many people are familiar with this issue (myself included). Might have something to do with the kernel. If it really bothers you, you could try flashing a different kernel from VillainSetup...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
The same would happen when on Defrost while using the smartass governor, are you using it? Maybe that's the problem.. when it happens to me I hold the power button, that usually turns it on...

I've only been on the ROM for a day, and haven't noticed it, and I'm using smartass, so I guess you're right... maybe try smartass...? Lol

lol, I actually just notice that there is no smartass option with the standard kernel :) Will try interactive for a while, maybe that helps (though it's not really an issue for me)

Is there any way to fix at least the call delay when answering... it gets annyoing after a while... and every single other ROM does not have this issue.

Hi!

It's a fantastic ROM but I have an issue with the mobile internet.

During the night i turn vibration and sound off. At the next morning i cannot activate mobile internet, everything works fine, wifi too. So i had to restart the Desire completely ant then it works all the day long even with changes between wifi and mobile.

Can anybody help me? Thank you!

Have you wiped since problem to test on clean Rom?

thanks again for the help yesterday, after reformatting the sd-card wiping and reflashing i have the system up again.

two new questions i have related to 1.6

1. it says it now has two way sound recording. how do i anble this or do i need a seperate app?

2. in cm settings i can not change the governor, what ever i select there it will not set it, i tried already the SVS and HAVS Kernel, thought this might be the reason.

anyone an idea
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
1) You need rvoix.apk from this thread I think:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993793

2) Not sure on those CM settings for CPU. They work for some, not for others. SetCPU is best.
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
ondemand -> min 245, max 998 (default i assume)
[Desire Android Development] p0rni:
1. thanks

2. what variables could influence this? i have a vanilla installation, newest radio, s-off.

i thought if it is build in cm i need no additional app
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thats right, you shouldn't need anything else. I use SetCPU anyway as its more configurable.

As I say, works for some, not for others. Only real thing I can think fo that influence it would be your restored data / settings.

You can get Set CPU for free here somewhere if a member of XDA, but I bought mine as its a brilliant app.

For anyone still having wifi issues....

As much as it pains me to say this, but it is definately a GV Rom issue. I flashed oxygen (also 2.3) and have been running it for the last 3 days. I haven't touched my router, but I now get 2/3 compared to 1/2 bars of wifi signal in my room, and I experienced none of the problems I had on GV with the wifi turning on and off, or mucking up youtube and iPlayer.

Unfortunately for me, wifi is too much of a compromise. So, as it stands I'm going to stick with oxygen until this is fixed. I really loved this ROM, and oxygen is missing a lot in comparison. I just hope someday, someone, will fix this :)
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
The wifi bug is very annoying and i hope it will be solved very soon.

I travel by train every day and the IC trains Holland have free wifi. When running AuraxTsence 8.4 i hove no troubles connecting to the train wifi, it was done automaticly. Now with Ginger Villain i takes lot of effort to connect to the train wifi signal, and when it finally connects it is very slow.

Hoping for a fix soon.
