really thank you for the comment !! will try this tomorrow for sure :) but I have some questions:

1)boot too it means I boot my PC from the CD right ?

2)if im in the recovery mode( means the black/green screen ?), is there any option for mount as USB storage ? or it will be when I boot into the CD ?

3) how should I divide my SD ? is it gonna do it automatically or i have to do it manualy ?

and again thnx ;)

Wait... you downloaded a gingerbread keyboard for a gingerbread rom which already has said keyboard??!?!?

HTC Desire | GingerVillain | Sent from XDA App
[Desire Android Development] RedFeather:
Well i thought it was a better keyboard. With a good smiley input for text messaging. But i did a nandroid reset so its gone now.
[Desire Android Development] fleixius1:
My screen time out isn't working. Anyone esle having this issue?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No worries.

1) Yes boot to CD>

2) After booting to cd, close Gparted (you will be left with a linux desktop). Connect Phone in recovery mode (yes green / black) and in recovery, scroll to "mounts and storage." and select bottom option "mount usb mass storage"

3)Resize the existing partition from the back, making space after it. Then in the space, create a new one.

Morning!

After setting the wifi policy sleep to never ( Menu -> settings -> Wireless -> wifi settings

press menu-button -> advanced -> wifi sleep policy)

i must say the battery problems are over!!! Lasts easy for more than a day!!!

Thanks for a great work! Best rom so far!!
[Desire Android Development] friedkimchi:
Or you could simply use ROM manager to create the ext partition of max size 512mb.

I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my mac and downloaded gparted. Just connect your phone to your computer and select mass storage mode. It should appear. Once you are in gparted, just follow the many guides you can find online. Just a warning, back up your data first before partitioning.

Its a simple process. If you screw up, you can always reformat your sd card in windows. :)
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
If you use rommanager it will wipe sd. Gparted won't
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
Worked for me.

Import contacts

Hi,

After flashing the ROM.

From Microsoft Outlook, I export the contacts (comma separated values - Windows) to the SD card.

From the phone, I cant import contacts from SD card. it says there's no Vcards in the SD card.

I don't prefer to sync with google account.

Please advice,

Thanks

[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
it sometimes goes into capslock on the very first swype. Quite annoying.
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Is the MMS fix, lockscreen message and LED notification coming in the next release? :)
[Desire Android Development] postwarbreakout:
Does this work with the Oxygen boot table or is there too less system memory (90mb)? Because I get stuck on the splash screen :( (yes, did a full wipe before flashing)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well there is that, but also rom manager is not 100% successful, it fails sometimes and you cant check it or fix it without something like gparted so may aswell start off that way.

Its a little long winded but its much safer
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I doubt that it will work mate... I had problems on n1 table (add to the flash and couldn't get past splash screen)
[Desire Android Development] blossom:
does anyone have video playing problem with 0.8?

i have to restart my desire to play video

after couple clips then its will show up black screen only

restart

then its ok until couple clips then...blank screen
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Works for me, but in s off and used the mcr version... I have now uninstalled that, as ad free has been updated in the market, which now seems to work fine..

I don't know how often Richard updates the hosts in the hosts file, which could have been.the problem..
[Desire Android Development] kay9jay:
yup. thats something i dont want to do... setting up everything again that is.

:eek:
[Desire Android Development] kay9jay:
that terminal command didnt work for me neither. weird.

also, richard should look into TREMOR script. villainrom 0.8 doesnt boot for me.

had to reflash 0.7
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
This is why I use custom Mtd partitions. Much easier without having to flash hboot.

You have to patch recovery and boot of rom though
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
But alpharev suggest nandroid, flash hboot then restore nandroid...

Taken from their site... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] troly:
Some MP3 tracks can not run? There was nobody like me?:confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] volapyk:
As an alternative to Gparted you could use "Easeus Partition Manager Home ed" from Windows. That will spare you the Gparted/Linux live cd process.

http://www.easeus.com/
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I approve. Also, I got better write speeds when creating FAT32 partitions on the µSD card when using this software compared to gparted. I don't know why, but my Desire seems to prefer.
[Desire Android Development] gizz68erz:
hi, mine didn't pull the settings from the cloud at the first boot.....1st time i tried gingerbread it worked...is it disabled in this version or can i force it?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Maybe in settings / accounts & sync / auto sync.. or settings / privacy / auto restore ( but I think that is app data)
[Desire Android Development] gizz68erz:
hm no everything seems to be ok in the setting....i'll flash it again :D
[Desire Android Development] luhu:

[Desire Android Development] koyon:
Amazing Rom, great work!!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It's strange, as the ext3 is visible with the normal a2sd but with the dt a2sd it is not recognising it.. this would push me to suggest to make the partition again, either using gparted live as said by danfrance, or the program suggested by volapyk, and confirmed by Eviollet, easeus...
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I think external means on the fat partition...

But you can move the dalvik cache to SD card:

Download connectbot

Type in:

su

a2sd cachesd

After that the phone is rebooting and there is enough space on phones internal memory...
[Desire Android Development] Macidoo:
Was a bit hesitant to flash this ROM first, as the forum seems to have turned in-to the "Wailing Wall", where user-errors take a front seat over common sense.

Nevertheless, got around to flash it.

Same initial issue as many, (was not aware that I had N1 table).

/////

su

a2sd cachesd

/////

via Android terminal Emulator solved that problem.

To the point - Richard: Great ROM!

Thanks alot!
[Desire Android Development] crazylemon:
really runs great and makes me forget sense :D

only bad things are:

- I cannot install new market or any other zip from this thread with clockwork 3.0.0.5 :mad:

- wlan signal strenght is very weak: I am sitting 2m besides my access point, nothing between, and I don't have full strenght.

- lot's of my old widgets don't work with gingerbred (smooth calendar for example).

any hints on how to fix that would be great :)

otherwise I'll have to wait for 0.9...
[Desire Android Development] Immdan:
I have read somewhere that Clockwork 3.0.0.5 should be quite buggy, try downgrading to the version before!

Regarding the wifi issue. What radio are you using?

Sent from my banana phone
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
1, this is to do with the new update script.. you could either ask someone to help with the change of update script and binary... I don't understand any of it...

2, I haven't ever noticed a weak WiFi signal, it has b/g/n, do you have anything to compare it to?

3, is the app on SD card, that is the only reason I could think of.
[Desire Android Development] peacynl:
Great ROM, been using this for a few days and works perfect till now.

Also like the Villain Setup feature.

But indeed as said above, the WiFi Signal is not very good. Mostly 1 stripe on first floor, on original Sense ROM this was 4 or 5.
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
10xs for the great rom :)
[Desire Android Development] mcmikev:
I have installed all of the versions and I love them all. This version (0.8) was the first one for me with some issues after installation. But like mentioned over and over again, a fresh wipe en reinstall fixed those issues..

Richardtrip , thank you for your time and effort to make this ROM and share it with us.
[Desire Android Development] reebs:
How do I search for corporate contacts? I really like not using the sense ui but so far that is the only place that allows for searching corporate users on my exchange. Is there a way to do this in this rom?
[Desire Android Development] DaNiEl FrEnCh:
how come the camcorder is now recording as a .3gp rather than .mp4, is this due to the whole issue with the camera on gingerbread, also this may not be relevant but now my pictures no longer show up on iphoto? anyone else with this issue, everything else is quality!!
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
Is this the dalvik or the other cache?
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
Is anyone having problems with the Android Marketplace 2.2.11? Whenever I reboot the phone, the install applications either show purchased or free and no longer show installed unless I re-install them...but...even if I do all of that and reboot, it reverts back to the previous status or purchased or free.
[Desire Android Development] mcmikev:
I have that too.. All the apps are gone, and updates are shown. Newly installed apps are in the market visible but the old ones are gone.

Did we miss a setting somewhere ? or is this a market bug.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
I have noticed that after doing a dalvik cache wipe, I get the low space on disc message and have to do the su; a2sd cachesd command once more...isn't there a way to force it to stay put?
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I think he means the dalvik cache
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
I personally installed the latest (2.2.11) Market two days ago. Apps are downloaded/installed without any problem. I've also rebooted my phone many times, and every app is working fine.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
How did you install it? (My applications work fine as well btw)
[Desire Android Development] crazylemon:
no bugs found so far. works good...

radio 32.49.00.32H_5.11.05.27. Works perfectly with froyo, leedroid for example
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
What should a typical su; a2sd check; look like in this version of GingerVillian?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Download quick system.info and it will have an apps 2 SD bit.. if this is what u mean..
[Desire Android Development] crazylemon:
1, yes I know. Error tells something about old script no longer supportet. So if someone could change this, that would be great!

2, can compare it with a froyo rom, were everything is fine with the same radio

3, app is on sd-ext. I don't think this is the reason. other widgets work fine, fancy widget and handcent sms for example.

EDIT: Just found out that ad free is not working. no error, but ads keep appearing in every app so far.
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
I found somewhere (in xda) the .apk file, and installed through File Manager.

If you want, I can search for the .apk or even upload it.
[Desire Android Development] addoyle:
New version in market now works.
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks, i just did it (after loosing a couple of hours with fixing my notebook :mad:).

Installed this rom as my first custom rom on my new Desire as I used to have Villain roms on my Hero :-)

After 1 day it became more or less impossible to change between home screens it really became that laggy. App drawer worked fine. What on earth happenend ?

Have 1gb of ext4 on sd partitioned wih gparted.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
kali has a working CWM 3.0.0.5-r2, in the CM7 nightlys thread.

(have to say I haven't used it, but kali is trusted name, the 3.0.0.5 original recovery never backed up sd-ext properly and failed on restore)

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] Narada2XK:
I'm not sure if it fixed itself or it was fixed in this process.

Wipe the delvik cache, move the a2sd again and then install the market from a .zip file from recovery. The apps status stays installed.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Check the governor in setcpu, as that sound the same as my phone when on.interactive.. I changed to ondemand
[Desire Android Development] einfachkarl:
hey guy.

great ROM... :) like it

in my ADB log i see this Error all the time... (Version 0.8/5.11.05.14)
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Try changing the number of levels, save & apply, then reverting to the original number. This used to work on DeFrost, it should help.

(having said that, I never had this problem on either DF or GV, so...)
[Desire Android Development] soeren1705:
Have not installed setcpu yet but will and give it try. Thanks !
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
If you're not using any overclocking app, then the governor used is ondemand (it's the default one). Which probably means the problem is somewhere else... but do try switching governors via SetCPU, and see how it goes.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
This DarkTremor script is a little pain in the ass... It prevents nandroid restore to work properly if the a2sd cachesd command was issued before filling up /data/app with too much stuff to fit without its execution.

Please, Richard, as I don't see any benefit in using it against the 'old' A2SD+, can you revert to this?

Not counting this, GV is a brilliant ROM. :)
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
So this means nandroid backup won't work?
[Desire Android Development] DTGbaby:
Nandroid backup and restore working fine here
[Desire Android Development] :
Fast web installer says:

Google has made fast web install impossible in the latest upgrade of the Android market, which is installed on your device.

But the thing is, the Market app is the old one, with the old UI. So why is FWI claiming that?
[Desire Android Development] retrosling:
Any chance of somehow removing titanium backup? Great Rom!
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
If you are soff you can remove it via root explorer via system / app
[Desire Android Development] salleq:
Sometimes i have to re enter pin code, without a notice. Im running 0.8 with 32.49.00.32h_5.11.05.27

This happens almost daily. Uptime says 30 hours and this just happened again so the phone hasn't booted at least. I don't use airplane mode at all.
[Desire Android Development] crazylemon:
Experiencing battery drain issue too. Bat went down from 87 to 33 in 9 hours. Device in stanby, Display off, wlan on, 2g on, no sync.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
This was already the case in version 1.82 of the market (wich has old interface) the last version that supported fast web installer was 1.74
[Desire Android Development] kookysan:
Switch to HSDPA?

Not sure if this has been addressed (I tried searching but didn't come up with any hits) so here goes -

In the Mobile Network settings, I have unchecked 'Use only 2G networks'.

Now my phone always latches on to the EDGE network, even in areas where I know I have a HSDPA network available (on an earlier Sense based ROM, the phone used to latch on to HSDPA network).

As there doesn't seem to be an option in Gingerbread to force only HSDPA as in Sense based ROMs (I found one option in the default Power Widget but that does not seem to work)

Finally, I know that HSDPA works on my phone as last night only for a couple of minutes, I could see that it had latched onto HSDPA network on this ROM itself :)

Anyone else facing a similar situation? I would really like to use HSDPA as my phone is on EDGE almost all the time. All inputs welcome. My radio version is listed in my signature.

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] teffers:
I had this issue in DeFrost (several versions) too.

Wifi seems to drain the battery once it enters deep sleep during the night.

I was hoping with Gbread this wouldn't be replicated but sadly (for me) it is.

It could ofcourse be an app but in the meantime I'm switching off Wifi / Mobile data when I go to bed - with setCPU I get a 3% drain over 8 hours now.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
No problems here, but you could try this:

- in dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#* (and then the call button if you're using DialerOne, the stock dialer doesn't need it)

- under Phone Information, check the setting for "Set preferred network type:", it might be set to "GSM only" or "WCDMA preferred"

- switch to "GSM auto (PRL)" (you could also try "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)", if the former doesn't help)
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
The last days I noticed that the browser has become too laggy... I cleared the cache, but nothing changed.
[Desire Android Development] kookysan:
Thanks. This seems to help.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Is wifi sleep policty set to never?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I would put it down to an app.. I leave my WiFi on, when going to work and home and to my friends.. leave sync on, turn nothing off... I got over a day out of mine.. best result ever!!
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
it is going to wipe my data and so ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
On your SD.card yes.. back it up by copying to computer, then copy it back once partition is gone.. only for SD card.. I suggest nandroid, back up SD card (after, so is including the nandroid), partition, then put back on SD card.. if anything missing, restore nandroid..
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
thnx, oh and one more question .. when im partition it, its like when u r installing windows right ? so how many partitions should I make and what sizes they should be ?
[Desire Android Development] :
Is this a bug: notification power widget keeps appearing although I have disabled it.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
If you partition on a Windows install yes, similar... I have an 8gb card with 512 partition, which honestly I want bigger as almost full... I got a 16gb card and put the ext3 partition to 1gb, bit had to return the card... so its up to you mate..

However, I believe that the fat32 is a primary partition, with the ext following, but also as a primary partition... please correct me if I'm wrong..
[Desire Android Development] crnHR:
yes I have the same since 0.7
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
really thank you for the comments :) .. im backing up my SD card right now .. so I have to do these steps:

1) format the whole SD card to FAT 32

2) make a primary FAT32 partition

3) make a ext3 around 1GB partition also primary

4) transfer all of my SD card's contents to the new partitioned SD card right ?

so to which partition should I move my data to ? all to primary one or to ext3 ones or to separate them ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
1, SD card is already on fat32, suppose it cannot hurt to do it again.

2 and 3, yes. 1gb is a lot, the usual is 512mb, but it can be filled..

4, yes, your Windows won't be able to see the ext3, I believe Linux would though (not sure as don't use Linux). When mounting the SD card through the phone, the ext partition stays mounted to the phone... the ext partition would only be for app2sd, and dalvik if used.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
So I move all of my app2sd to the ext3 partition which when I mount it as a usb drive it will show, and the rest which are my musics and pictures to the other bigger partition right ?

again thnx so much !!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hang on, were getting confused.. the contents of your sd now, go bk on the fat partition, all of it.. just copy it back onto it.. what you copied off the card should go back on the card, in fat32.

The app2sd works through the phones system. I take it when u say the apps on SD that is froyo/google way? This moves a part of them. When booted in the phone, the app2sd script will look to see if there is an ext partition. Once found, all your apps will automatically go into this partition. If the app is still on froyo/google style, go to the settings, applications, manage applications and move them off the SD card and onto internal, and should see the internet space go up!

If you get quick system info there is a tab which shows the app2sd and let's you know the available space.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
ohhh ok !! so im using gingervillian rom 0.8 and almost moved all of my apps, except the ones with widget to the SD. and now backed up my sd card also. so after the partitioning is done, i move everything back to the SD like before and then the apps will automatically move themselves to the ext3 partition and if not i have to do it manually right ?

but the thing is most of my apps are already moved to the SD, so they will go automatically to the ext3 partition ?

(sorry im really noob in these things :( )
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No, the apps wont move them automatically (although i did say this, lol). They will still be on the sd card (as long as .android-secure is copied back). The apps not on SD card (froyo/google way) will automatically move to EXT3 partition. The rest will still be on the SD card. The easiest way to move this (without doing it one by one) would be titanium backup, (menu/Batch) and click the "move all user apps to internal memory) - I have 115, and this would be the eaiest way to get them all on the EXT3 partition, in my opinion.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
Nandroid works unless you try to restore a backup performed when your dalvik-cache size exceeded the "vanilla" ROM one (i.e. without executing the 'a2sd cachesd' command). In this case, the restore ends in a bootloop.

I haven't tried to issue the above command via adb while into the bootloop, but this is definitely an issue to me.
[Desire Android Development] mike freegan:
Good effort on the rom.

My major issues are:

Loads of random reboots (about 3 a day)

Internet stops regularly. Only the upload arrow in the taskbar flashes. Requires a reboot, our putting in and out of flight mode. I have recommended radio and O2 uk.
[Desire Android Development] amir88:
ok got this part thnx :D

ok I used that software, made a primary partition of around 13GB and a ext3 partition of around 1GB (Im using 16GB SD card) and it was fine. I did all this while my phone was mounted as a USB drive cuz I dont have a micro-usb reader thing. thenmy phone said blank/unsupported SD card and the phone said it has to erase the sd card, I had to say yes cuz I rebooted and got the same msg, so after erasing went ok, when I mount the SD card, my laptop doesnt recognize it anymore !! any ideas on this ? :(
[Desire Android Development] ric_harvey:
Missing widgets

After install 0.8 I don't seem to get new widgets appear in the list when trying to add to the home screen. For example: fresh install of 0.8, cache cleared. Installed twitter no options to have a widget on the home screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

Ric :confused:
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
because you were booted into android at the time, it would not have made the partition. Do it in recovery if there is no reader to the computer.

Boot into recovery (i used clockwork mod), go to mounts and click USB storage. This will then give you the whole SD card, not being read by anything!
