It probably never existed in the official 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 versions for the Nexus S. And will never exist for the 2.3.3 version for the Nexus one.

If it will be fixed in this ROM (wich is more likely now the official version is on the N1) RT will no doubt put it in the changelog :D
[Desire Android Development] franklin20uk:
I see. Since I haven't owned any android phone yet, so I can't really tell at the moment, Its just the system on 2.3 seems a lot faster, seeing it on utube. Any the interface and text input seems better as well.

Besides that, how is 2.3 better then 2.2, in any other way, just because as I am reading around the web, a lot of people is drooling for this update.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Mostly because android-people are horney about updates :D The 2.3 update is just again, a bit more matured then the previous one.

But just for my curiousity. If you do not yet own a desire, or Android-phone and you want Android 2.3. Why not get a Nexus S or Nexus one? They both got the official update from Google :D
[Desire Android Development] franklin20uk:
because I love the white desire and the black desire hd. Nexus S is a bit rounded for me and I prefer the build quality of HTC over Samsung. The Nexus One is amazing as well, only if Google build it in White! (mainly most review points towards desire is a slight better version of Nexus one)

I am not too anal about getting the 2.3 update, I am just curious thats all.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I realised something.

I have been anticipating official gingerbread for the nexus one or desire for ages now.

But it only occurred to me today, that I actually have no reason why.

What benefits / changes can we expect to see once the custom Roms like GV / oxygen make use of them, or will there even be any? The gingervillain gingerbread rom 1.1 runs perfectly, so is this actually a significant release for us at all?

:)
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
It's mostly to get the FM-radio to work as it should (without BT on). And get some right video? drivers.

Also prolly HD recording will be anabled

For the rest I'm in the blue
[Desire Android Development] franklin20uk:
I see! Good point for the search button.

For the setting-switches bar, is it a naive feature in 2.3? possible 2.2 as well?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
No, that's one of the CM extras that Richard includes in his ROMs.

The 2.2 ROM (DeFroST) includes an earlier version which doesn't have the side-scrolling feature.
[Desire Android Development] franklin20uk:
Isee! I would so make my iphone to android transition just for that feature. LOL
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
GV doesn't support HD video? I hadn't even noticed :/

Well any update with new features is good, but it seems now it took them so long to release it, people such as richard have made such a stable rom with even more features than stock.
[Desire Android Development] itshotinhere:
Not sure if this has already been answered but I believe CM were sent a cease and desist from Google that prevented developers from distributing Gapps hence they are now mostly a manual installation. It also ensures that the latest versions always get installed via the Market.
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
The first post says that Google apps are included, are they actually not? I flashed 1.1 over 1.0 so I don't know.
[Desire Android Development] siliKoner:
Pretty sure gapps are in GV 1.0 and 1.1.

sK

Edit: wait, now I'm not sure.
[Desire Android Development] art_sn00p:
They definitely are. Somewhere outdated but guess it is not a trouble. 5 minutes on 3G and it is all ok.

As for me I even don't need crap like New Market, Talkback, Soundback and Kickback and carkit ))
[Desire Android Development] xda-graphite:
Wifi not working on ch 13 for me. Channels set till 14 in settings. Also wifiexplorer dont scan channels above 11.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
The only thing I'm missing from defrost is the video recording options. In Gingervillain I can no longer choose the video recording quality, MP4, H264, etc. And I quite miss these options. I really hope that the new update will bring the video recording on par with 2.2

Apart from that, GV is really excellent and works fine.

Contrary to what I was expecting, battery drain is the same as on defrost, and absolutely no random reboots whatsoever.

Very stable.

As you coukld have found if you looked about 4/5 pages back, install a new 1.4 kernel from Villain-setup to solve this problem
[Desire Android Development] 325i.:
Have you got a link to the correct kernel and radio so I can try again?
[Desire Android Development] addoyle:
Just getting a strange one in the last couple of days. When I use tuneitradio docked on either by or cable, my music app (mixzing) starts up as well. Its only happened twice so a bit random. I thought it may be the dock settings but I can't edit them....
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
Same here. Any solution to this problem so far?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
One post above yours says that the kernel is in villain setup.. the 1.4 version...

[Desire Android Development] kolohui:
Hi, guys!

Flashed GV (1.4 kernel too) yesterday and experiencing some concerns compared to latest stock 2.2:

1) Battery drain is much worse. For 3 hours of work it ate 16%... That's too much :(

2) Auto brightness doesn't work correctly. Any workaround?

3) No sound of lock. How to add?

4) Quadrant score is about 1150. Is that normal???
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
1, u can change the undervolt for the kernel yourself, maybe try that..

2, don't use it, can't help, sorry

3, again don't use it sorry.. others have said it doesn't work.. maybe search the thread to see if it was fixed..

4, does that mean the ROM is slow, I can't remember..? ;) (in trying to say, the ROM isn't slow at all, just cos quadrant gives a low score... its still super fast and no lag at all...)
[Desire Android Development] kolohui:
1) But donna how... :o

2)-3) bad

4) It's not slow, still we all love so much those benchmarking scores... :)

Have anyone noticed that data consumption is higher?

Hi,

i got a problem with MMS, can recieve but not send a MMS with Ginger Villain.

Vodafone Germany needs the following settings

Name: VF-DE MMS

APN: event.vodafone.de

Proxy: 139.7.29.17

Port: 80

Nutzername: Nicht festgelegt

Passwort: Nicht festgelegt

Server: Nicht festgelegt

MMSC: http://139.7.24.1/servlets/mms

MMS-Proxy: 139.7.29.17

MMS-Port: 80

MMS-Protokoll: WAP 2.0

MCC: 262

MNC: 02

Authentifizierungstyp: Nicht festgelegt

APN-Typ: mms

The issue seems the missing mms-protokoll in apn settings from the ROM, i marked red in the required settings. In Sense ROM´s the entry is available.

Or is there something i did wrong and other can send MMS?

Also i cant use bluetooth, it seems related to the file size, the bluetooth connection lost. Its not relevant sending files from pc to phone or in the other direction. The file transfer crashes exept with files with realy low size.

Nav/Location

I'm using 1.1 but cannot get Google Maps to show/find my location or the Nav App to find and calculate routes. 'Waiting for location' permanently on screen. My friends android phone in the same location(s) picks up all fine.

I've searched the thread for similar issue reports but no concrete fix or explanaition seems to be out there.

If it's a Gingerbread incompatibilty thing I'm gonna have to go back to 2.2 as I use the Nav quite often.

Am I missing anything aboout this ROM and Nav?
[Desire Android Development] kenkiller:
You stay in which country?
[Desire Android Development] CPUpgrade:
I'm in the UK
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
After first flash (or install) you must have a gps signal for once for google maps to locate you.

Do you have GPS enabled?

Do you have gps in other apps? (foursquare etc.)
[Desire Android Development] CPUpgrade:
GPS was definitely enabled. Data enabled too. I don't use FourSquare. Latitude has same problem.
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
Try installing GPS Status from the market. Some have said that it helps get a GPS signal lock. Run it, get a signal, then go back to Google Maps and see if it's improved.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] stringent:
Have you checked your APN settings for the network you are on?

Maps, latitude navigation all work fine. O2 UK me.
[Desire Android Development] CPUpgrade:
Weird! It's just started working! I went through the Car Home app included with this ROM. Now it's all kicked in and working fine. When I tried Maps and Nav in exact same location before I posted about an hour ago, nothing, nada, niet, zip- same 'waiting for location.....' The Car Home app seems to have set it off and running.. Strange!

EDIT: I was out in the car yesterday and could not get it to work. It wasn't signal because my friend has an Android phone (Xperia) and was getting Nav all fine. I was using Google Maps icon and the Nav icon.
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
I had the same issue on GV 0.9 or 1.0 (don't know it right now).

Tried to start google navigation about ten times, without success.

So i installed a trial version of Sygic Aura (free at market), started it one time and it works.

Afterwards i run google nav again, and then it works too.

I know it sounds a bit absurd.

Now on GV 1.1 google nav runs out of the box...
[Desire Android Development] CPUpgrade:
Well we have it working :) I can stay with 2.3 :) Be interested to know Richard's thoughts on why it does this though. Still a great ROM once the wifi channel issue was sorted :)
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
I said this before some-where but for me it does to. My way to fix is the following:

1. open Google maps (not navigation)

2. press the "my location" button in the top-right corner

3. wait till it gets a fix

4. then search for the address you want to navigate too and press navigate

should be fine that way. I notice that when starting in navigation the gps icon is gone from the statusbar and it can't get a fix. But when it got a fix from within maps it stays accurate.
[Desire Android Development] CPUpgrade:
Well I couln't get Maps to loacte either. That was part of the problem. Using Car Home seems to have initialized it. I rebooted the phone to check it wasn't a fluke and it's all working now.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
I've done everything with SD in my Desire inside using gparted.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I too have always used gparted, however, I have heard of a Windows program called partition wizard... I do not know if it works or not. But maybe worth a try?

Which clockwork are u using?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Have you successfully used gparted before?

If you're using the live cd, you have to exit the Gparted GUI (when mounted as USB mass storage in Clockwork) and restart the Gparted GUI, if you plugged it it once the GUI was running. then you may have to scan for devices too.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Talking both professionally and personally, Mini tool partition wizard is a big pile of crap.

Do NOT use this. EXT is not a native windows file system so most windows tools will not successfully partition to this. Easeus I have heard works well, but GParted is definitely the way to go.

Just to clarify, in CWM, you have to mount as USB mass storage not /Mount SD card.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Lol, I have never used it and always used gparted... I will not recommend trying this next time... thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
I think your best bet would be a card-reader. I do not know how WinMo devices let the USB-card be mounted, but with a reader you know for sure
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
yeah, the app push installing out of the browser is working now :) it has not worked in 0.9 (1.0 not tested) for me ;)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
card readers are cheep, get one
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Can you not put the SD card in and boot to recovery and mount as usb storage, as rootSU said? Then use it in gparted?

Or have another SD card so that u can get in the phone for now..?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
he said it hangs recovery

he just needs to buy a £2 reader
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
cos its corrupt
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I just dont know what you have done here, but I've done some pretty drastic things with mine and managed to recover them.

I think maybe you're unlucky.
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
I've tried Mini tool Partition wizard on my sdcard, working fine so far, maybe I was lucky :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Definitely, I used it several times on mine and it failed every time. I also used it on a hard drive using NTFS and it was equally as bad.

Same here, very slow USB transfers.

Also, i want to change the theme but im struggling. I have created it myself by extracting the framework-res.apk using themepro.

I have changed a few icons and them used the UOT kitchen to change a few more. I flashed the zip through recovery but it has not changed the icons.

Thanks mate, i want to edit the icons in the top notification bar to HTC ones. E.g. battery, wifi, 3G

so which program can i use to edit the systemUI.apk file? I see that themepro can not do it.

I used to use data2sd but found it laggy. After GV 0.7 it didnt work anymore and was forced to go back to my mtd layout + a2sd. I found that for me, this configuration was much better. faster, no worries of too much writeback to sd card and all the space I would ever need.

[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
Hi!

I'm using a clean GV 1.1 installation with stock GV kernel running Launcher Pro, BW clock widget, Tweetdeck, Google Reader and PowerTutor; 3G is off, WiFi is on (sleep policy never) and Google sync is on. Occasionally I use SMS and phone, nothing else.

The battery life is perfect, everything works fine except one thing: I noticed that after a couple of days of moderate usage the phone slows down. Benchmark results are consistent with those I get right after reboot, but UI feels sluggish and there's noticeable lag every now and then, especially on the lockscreen and in the phone dialer during calls. Everything comes back to normal after reboot.

I checked if there was any difference in power, CPU or RAM usage before and after reboot and couldn't notice anything unusual. Tried to remove PowerTutor, Google Reader and Tweetdeck completely, but this didn't have any effect. It looks like the phone slows down by itself while running the same apps.

The phone is fine, when I go back to DeFrost backup, it runs without any slowdown for days. Has anyone encountered similar problems? What can be causing this lag and slowdown? What else should I check?

Your advice will be appreciated :) Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] soeren1705:
Well mine runs a clean GV 1.1 and after some days use I also fell, not lag but how should I explain, it is not as smooth anymore that is for sure.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Hi.

Does a reboot solve your issues?

Do you use SetCPU? If so, do you change the CPU governors?
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Yes, double check that. Yesterday, my phone was really slow, froze 3 times, apps were all like disabled and fc as soon as I launched them..

And I just found that my governor was on conservative. I charged the matey a bit, then change to ondemand and it is perfect again!

However, even if I had to reboot every two days, thus rom is so great man ! :-)

Ginger Villain 1.1

Kernel 1.4 havs 1113Mhz cfs
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
Yes, a reboot solves the issue and the phone feels very fast and smooth for the next couple of days.

Although I did use SetCPU with DeFrost, I didn't install it in GV, as I was completely satisfied with the battery life and speed at default settings -- good job on this, devs, your work is much appreciated! ;)

I also didn't change any settings in CyanogenMod settings > Performance > CPU settings, left all of them at their default values:

Available governors, Currently selected: ONDEMAND

Min CPU frequency, Currently: 245 MHz

Max CPU frequency, Currently: 998 MHz

Set on boot [ ] (unchecked)

I'm positive that the governor is still ondemand when the phone starts feeling slow, min/max frequencies also remain unchanged. Btw, the while the slowdown is similar to the one caused by conservative governor, it doesn't feel the same: with conservative governor UI gets faster as you use it, while here it just remains sluggish until reboot no matter what I do.

As explained in the first post, you have to move cache to sd.

Terminal emulator:

- su

- a2sd cachesd

or ADB

- adb shell

- a2sd cachesd
[Desire Android Development] GonsioR:
You should run from terminal app:

su
a2sd cachesd

or using command line

adb shell
