homescreen overview

Hi Richard, thanks again for this x-mas present.

First of all, the rom still runs stable. Nice and smooth (even with my modifications i posted earlier).

There is one thing about the homescreen overview (long press app-drawer). The overview shows the screen with a white background. The also do not show the widgets on the smal sceens, only the app buttons. I don't know if it is that way in gingerbread. Might it be possible to do something about that like making the overview-screens transparent?

Can't wait for v0.5. Might we be able to use the camcorder?

Greetz!

Edit: Widgets are working, just didn't see them because they are white (due to my black background). Great ROM, even logical thinking can fix a bug once and a while ;).

I have noticed a strange thing: occasionally after reboot my sd is not mounted. There is no status bar notification "preparing sd". Rebooting again resolves the issue. I can confirm that the card is ok, kingston 8gb c6.

bugs in this rom (of course not counting the video recording):

*LED indicates green color at 90%

*time delay when picking up the call (about 2 sec.)

*USB connection mode, the floppy disk drive (jumps)
[Desire Android Development] salleq:
Few posts earlier someone was asking about LED notifications. Mine's working, but not like before. Instead of green blink i get orange light that stays on.

Also I cannot find "wake time" in about phone -> status, only uptime. I seem to have a wakelock, because in battery info "Awake" is more ON than OFF during nights, when I shouldn't have anything on (not even wifi or 3g).

One more thing - sometimes just tapping the powerbutton isn't enough, to bring the phone out of standby. Meaning I have to press it a bit longer than usual.
[Desire Android Development] hannomag:
time delay when picking up confirmed
[Desire Android Development] ovsc:
+1 the same
[Desire Android Development] adizz131:
i can confirm the above 2 points also.

the time delay when picking up calls goes like.

*phone rings

*i hit answer

*i put up to ear and say "hello"

*no response, so i say "hellooooo" again

*call goes on as normal
[Desire Android Development] braso:
Just moved over to this ROM from DeFrosT 6.1a. Very happy so far, one random reboot in 12 hours, looking forward to wake on optical button.

Beer on the way Richard!
[Desire Android Development] tma24:
another bug. The charge is connected and disconnected when working with telephone
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
90% battery led notification happens with all roms (sense, aosp) = not a bug
[Desire Android Development] tma24:
I now use only environment Sense and there I did not notice. It's nice floater to me signaled at 90% battery charge when not loaded
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
what? i dont understand what you are saying (the bold text especially)
[Desire Android Development] salleq:
I believe he/she meant that in sense roms the green led didn't lit until battery was 100% and I can confirm that.

In other news, my phone just rebooted and got stuck in boot loop but clearing the dalvik cache helped.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Im having the exact same issue with Oxygen RC3, just thought ill let you know you guys not alone on this one :)

btw, the led going green when batterys charging and over 90% is not an issue for AOSP builds...
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
defrost notification led goes green when above 90% battery.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I have a weird one... while gingervillain is perfect on my.phone... its not on my friends... I flashed the exact same file update onto his phone (only difference is he was coming from a sense Rom, both were full wipe), and yet his phone is playing up... firstly, he says it gets a bit laggy when unlocking... I told him that is cos of the widgetlocker then going onto lockscreen dot pattern, then into Android... also he rung me earlier and the phone call kept dropping out.. I maybe thought radio but I don't think it.would drop the call, he said he had three bars on 3g signal...

Because.of the unlock lag he has left setcpu to be on 384 minimum... and he believes it helps (i actually think he has a screen off profile so this wouldn't make any difference at all)...

All other settings are pretty much the same as mine.. he has the manu havs 1.3 kernel at 900mv and it is stable.. with the ondemand governor...

Anything that I'm missing, or suggestions to try out... I will check his radio, but don't.understand why it wasn't happening for the sense ROM...

Difference in phone, his is pvt3 made in China :eek: mine.is original pvt1 with amoled and made in Taiwan ;)
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
In addition to the advice others have given you, make sure that the md5 sum of the ROM you're trying to install matches the one in the 1st post. Richard has re-uploaded GV 1.0 a couple times since it first went up, just to fix that su bug. You may have an old version.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
This is something I'd noticed with the GV kernels, even using Ondemand and without profiles. Using EViollet's kernels I don't get this.

It's not as bad as the "smartass effect", but does often require a longer press or multiple presses to wake.
[Desire Android Development] friedit:
Thx - that did the trick.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Fixed it. I don't know how but somehow .nomedia file got written to the root of my sd. Stupid!

Have today testet the cm7 RC1 ,the akku drain is extreme. That shows me why i love the ginger villain Rom,here is all ok :) hope you are working for a long time on this Rom Richard :)

2nd that. Battery life on gv is far superior to rc1 cm7.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Can anyone tell me, why Tasker isn't able to turn GPS on?
[Desire Android Development] siliKoner:
I don't use tasker (never tried it) but I've noticed on gv 1.0 that sometimes gps doesn't turn on when I start a gps app and other times it stays on for a little while (seconds not minutes) after I exit a gps app. No big deal as a restart of the app usually gets gps going and I always get quick gps locks with my radio.

INITIAL

v1.0 BATTERY TEST

- Desire A8183

- Standard Battery

- All WiFi / BT / Roaming etc..... OFF

- In STANDBY mode

- v 1.0 Installed - no different radio

- 3G / Calls / internet / wifi / hotspot etc.... all working fine

- Started with %100 Battery Charge

- After 11.00 hours of STANDBY Battery Charge is still %100

I have tried a heap of ROM's on HD2's and Desire's ....... NEVER have I seen this sort of efficiency.

Simply ASTOUNDING !!!!

I will report back once I have a 24 hour figure.

[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Hi.

Sorry to interrupt your happiness, but it seems like you have a battery calibration problem.

Either you recalibrate your battery, or you just give the ROM a couple of charge/ discharge cycles for things to be normal again.

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] siliKoner:
Speaking of battery calibration... I ran leedroid 2.3d before GV 1.0. A few months ago Lee put in the Desire battery fix which I've used since day 1, up until very recently when I installed GV 1.0.

Now when I charge the battery it will NOT charge past 94% unless I turn it off when it stops at 94% and let it finish charging that way. I know this is a calibration issue but using the battery fix for so long seems to have really screwed with my battery which I only discovered by changing roms. I've tried recalibration several times but it doesn't seem to be working.

Not bothered by this much. I thrash my desire quite a bit so am happy if I can get 4 hours of screen-on time in a 24 hour period. Anyone else seen this behaviour?

sK

Edit: I'm curious what the battery fix actually does. I'm off to find the thread on XDA :)
[Desire Android Development] rferrett:
I bet this has already been answered, did do a search but couldn't find an answer so I apologise if someone has already answered this.

But since upgrading to gingervillain my phone won't make a sound when I receive an SMS. I get sounds for email, but not SMS. And I can't seem to find an option anywhere to change this.

Any ideas? I am using gingervillain, and chomp SMS.

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] ben ifin:
Battery has been fully calibrated plus I did several full charge / full discharges giving the phone some full-on use.

Progress Report:-

=> after 21 hours 15 minutes Battery has dropped from %100 Full Charge to %95 Charge

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Well, something's definitely wrong... ;)

Sorry men, but EViollet are right, will most likely be a calibration error 5% = 21 hours dont mean 95% = 420 hours

Whats the best eviollet kernel for gingervillain?

[Desire Android Development] Sandrioni:
Using trackball wake.....it vibrates when unlocked. Can I disable that?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
In the standard sms app there is option for sms notifications.. maybe try in there?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Eviollet won't argue this point but I certainly will. I'm sorry but you are being naive.

This is a classic case of battery calibration. There is no way you can get less than 1% per hour drain in standby. It simply is not possible.

Your phone obviously believes the battery is charged to 110%+ but the battery only charges to 100%.

So as the phone cannot record over 100%, it sits there waiting until the battery gets to what the phone thinks is 100% (battery actually at 90%)

Argue this as much as you like but until you realise this, you will be wrong.

Sorry to burst your bubble but sometimes you have to listen to experienced modders who are in the know

Test for yourself. Time how long it takes to go from 100% to 99% then time how long it takes to go from 99% to 98%.

Huge difference
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Well, actually, I get 0.5%/hour in standby with data disabled... ;)

But, 5% in 21 hours? :eek:

Nope...
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Likewise - overnight, strong GSM signal, 2G only, all data disabled I can get 2-3% loss in 7 hours with the right kernel.

I have occasionally gone ~8 hours before charge dropped below 100%, but that was definately the calibration effect SUroot describes. It was very visible that once it started dropping it dropped much faster than that, and the total time before I needed to recharge was not particularly exceptional (2-3 days with low use).
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'm talking about with data enabled like the poster said
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
The automatic display brightness control turns me crazy. It changes nearly every 2 seconds from high brightness to low one... I have tested the light Sensor filter function in cyanogen mod display settings, but I don't know what to set there :(

I hope someone can help me...

[Desire Android Development] psy07:
is this rom stable enough for daily use for now?
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
IMO it's been stable enough for daily use since a few versions back. However, once you start fiddling with anything outside the stock setup (e.g. overclocking and undervolting) your mileage may vary.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
I think you'd better wait for v1.1, because this version has a few issues with superuser which might result to some instabilities (for example I could not use Market Enabler cause of this).

But, the best version imo, was the previous one (v0.9)! Totally stable and very fast!
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Those problems have been long resovled. If you install this version now you will find a very stable ROM. At least for me it has been my main rom from version 0.5 up and it only got better
[Desire Android Development] addoyle:
The superuser issue was fixed within a day of release....that was a few weeks ago now....totally reliable for everyday use.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
How can this be answered?

For my needs it is.

For a lot of other users too.

But

if you can't live without Navigon,

high resolution Camcorder,

or if everything depends on blue LED notification for messages instead of green or orange (holy crap)...

...(there will be a lot more examples)...

NO, IT`S NOT

So, the only answer can be:

Check it out and decide yourself

I'm new to custom roms. I switched from stock to GingerVillian Saturday. I have a question/issue; When doing a long press on the power button I could choose between Silent mode and Vibration mode. Now with Gingervillian (or just Gingerbread) I can only choose silent mode. I've looked in the settings but the only thing I can edit is that my phone will vibrate in Silent mode. Is there a way do get both modes in the long press button menu back?

Can someone clarify this please? I've updated to the new market through Villain Setup, now getting FC every time I try to launch. I can't uninstall Market, and going to system/app in Astro file explorer I can find vending.apk. Clicking on it gives me the option to uninstall or launch, uninstall just gives me "uninstall not successful" and launching it gives FC.

Why is the new market not included in the rom to start off with?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
I use root explorer, I mounted as r/w and then I just click on the vending.apk and installed it. I tried a lot of things before and was in a way that I had no market installed and no vending.apk when I've done this. So no market, no vending.apk, then install via Villain Setup, then go to system/app and click and install
