I got since today GingerVillain 1.4 (From 1.0)

Any nice apps? (Widget locker i heard, but thats a paid one!)

And what is the best kernel for the battery usage?

I used the 1.3 axi havs before on the 1.0. I could use it about 30 hours without recharging.

And i saw some posts for good transfer?

Go on with GingerVillain!

(What makes it complete is the Fastboot from HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire HD ^^)
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
i find the manu 1.3 axi have kernel is the best for me but its all subjective
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
In that case, after you installed an alternative dialer it wil ask you wich one to run when you first press the dialer icon. You can then set it as the standard one
[Desire Android Development] azz_kikr:
i'm trying to flash, the 1.3 kernel AXI/havs... but it ways says system/lib/modules/kineto_gan.ko is mssing and it doesnt flash :(
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Just curious although a bit Off-topic.

Anyone gotten the music Sync (as described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980018) to work with this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
how do you install it and manage to get it work properly
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Read the topic?

Am I correct in assuming this will soon be updated to include the latest CM7 (2) stuff released today? Or is that something different?

Don't know if you mean cm settings, but usually, yeah

oopps sorry, it is for HTC DESIRE HD
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I mean because today Cynagen Mod CM7 V7.0.0-

RC2

was released. Previously, I remember one of the updates included new CM7 commits. I'm asking if it is likely this new stuff there ^^ will be included into a GV ROM soon?
[Desire Android Development] richardtrip:
Expect an update next friday/saturday (an update once a week if there are no big problems with the rom).

Update: ManU .35 kernels in Villain Setup

If you have any problems with usb-transfer speed or battery then i can recommend the .35 kernels from Eviollet. These kernels are older, but very battery efficient (most of the drain with current .37 and .38 kernels is from the wifi driver).

Flash with Villain Setup.
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
Thanks :)

never really understood the Kernels thing but I will give it a go :D
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
And neglect my wife and kid :D

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
quoting myself but .... which Kernal do i use :eek: and can i revert if i need to ?

what difference will i notice with different Kernels ??? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
EViollet's kernels are in Defrost Setup now!
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Ok. I might flash CM7 RC2 tonight just for fun, but I'll be sure to keep check for an update. Love GV, thanks for all your hard work richard. It's an awesome rom :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The .35 ones from EViollet, which are now available via Villain Setup, should improve your usb transfer speed.

Reverting is easy: the original kernel is available the same way (I expect it's the 1.6 SVS CFS 1113 kernel).
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
thanks again :D

whats the SVS, AXI etc ?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
SVS and HAVS are different ways of adjusting the cpu voltage. SVS just has a single voltage for a given frequency (that is what the "SV" stands for), while HAVS adapts according to temperature as well as frequency. HAVS will typically run at lower voltages, which can save power but doesn't suit all devices (you can adjust the voltage range yourself with these kernels, but do your homework before fiddling!).

The AXI optimisation allows things to run at even lower speeds when the screen is off.

I've been using EViollet's HAVS-AXI-CFS kernel for a while now, but you should just see what works best for you.
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
So can someone tell me the difference between GV and CM7?
[Desire Android Development] wilbur-force:
different ROMs ... Ginger Villain and CyanogenMod (7) ;)
[Desire Android Development] gafi:
Great ROM. Everything works. Battery life iz amazing. Unpluged it last night around 22:00 with 87%. Whole night on (3G, gmail, weather and facebook updates), whole day at work untill 19:30 with some gaming, some wifi, a lot of calls, and still at 32%!!!!!!

WONDERFUL! Thank you richard!
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
:P No but seriously? Both use the same CM7 stuff, so how can I choose between the two?
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
With the Original Kernel?
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
bad path :D

i had N1 table, when i try to replace files through console after "cp" it show me an error "not enough space on device" :)..

then just repartition my phone with bravo sense img and everything went fine :))) even sync option works correctly
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Im using this Kernel: ManU-1.3-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS and it works great. Don't know if the battery life is better, but there is no need to press the powerbutton twice or three times... to turn on the display.
[Desire Android Development] gafi:
Yes.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:

[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
go to http://alpharev.nl/

chooze your image:

*.img are flashing via adb (from your lockal computer)

PB99IMG* are flashing via recovery

so :) if u want to use fastboot command u must choose *.iso! not PB99
[Desire Android Development] FallinHigh:
i use 1.4 with kernel "2.6.37.2-defrost-bravo+trip@trip-laptop +782" ... where do i get a new kernel? i think it's quite old.. i use settings/networks/mobile networks (i use it in german so i don't know if the path is correct)..
[Desire Android Development] :
You can get a new kernel through the villain setup app which you should have already seen in your gingervillain rom!
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I'm also interested in getting a .35 kernal to improve usb transfer speed. Under GV setup, there are 4 of these at the top. Which is best to download - HAVS-CFS/ AXI/ SVS etc etc? Not a clue what these mean?
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Yes, this one
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Usb speed is nice with this Kernel Battery too.Have Evilliots Kernel a long time on my Phone.

Have test now for two days the 1.6 Havs CFS Kernel and have the feeling Battery is a little more Better as with the Evilliots kernel. But usb speed with 2.6. 37 sucks :-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It depends on you. Personally I would go for HAVS CFS AXI, but that doesnt mean its best for you. Its best for me though. Definitely give an AXI a try though. And if you prefer HAVS now, then go for the HAVS
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Thanks, I know that. in fact I was wondering if the zip method was as sure as the fastboot one

HTC	Desire S-off

Ginger Villain 1.4 with new RIL

Kernel 1.6 havs bfs
[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
Lol, remember I'm an "advanced noob" :P. What the heck does AXI or HAVS or CFS mean? I have never heard of them before, nor do I know what they are or which I prefer :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well you need to know first of all that SVS and HAVS are:

Static Voltage Scaling - Each CPU frequency has a specific Voltage of power based on a table. Frequency x is Voltage z (always)

Hybrid Adaptive System - Each CPU frequency has a range of voltage based on a similar table. Frequency x is voltage y to z. Whether it is y (lowest) or z (highest) depends on Device temperature.

Because HAVS runs on a range, it can go lower than SVS and potentially save more power. If HAVS is stable on your device, get it.

CFS is Completely Fair scheduler. Its opposite is BFS (Brain F**k Scheduler). As this is not an option in Eviollet, dont worry about it. But the scheduler essentially handles CPU resource allocation. CFS was mainly intended for High end desktop Machines. BFS used to be the faster kernels, but CFS show no performance hinderance (as far as I am concerned) anymore. BFS is older.

AXI - This further reduces battery drain. It works by when your phone is idle (when the screen is off for example) it will drop below your minimum 128Mhz (I think eviollet said 62Mhz, but may be mistaken) and save more power.

So HAVS + AXI is the best choice for battery, however whether it works for you is another matter

Hope this helps

I belive by now RootSU has some standard templets for this info ready to copy/past every 10 pages of this thread :D
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
So let's say Axi works on my device, will the lower CPU speeds/voltages increase possibility of damage the processor or shorten its life??
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
I installed RockPlayer in some Gingerbread ROMs but it cannot open any video file type.

Anyone the same?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Hi.

Lower speeds will certainly not reduce your CPU's life.

As for the lower voltages, theoretically they CAN damage the phone. However this is highly unlikely and I have yet to see it happen on the Desire.

But as with all this stuff that plays around with the limits of your phone, the typical disclaimer applies : no-one here is responsible if you brick your phone while playing around with it...

Have fun nevertheless! :)

Guess that liblock is doing something wrong. Very strange behaviour being indoor. Gps status icon is flashing for few times and disappears. Network location is odd and probably wrong.

Hi all.

I'm running GV1.6 stock. I've tried a RT 1.6 kernel and a Eviollet 1.3 kernel. Both sent my phone into a bootloop.

I'm not S-OFF and installed both kernels with Villain Setup and CWM recovery.

Kulix, rootsu etc., do you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Can anyone link me to a good radio to use with this ROM? Using the latest (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) but i'm getting 3G and WiFi dropping constantly. Is this an issue with the ROM or the radio?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Rednasman:
I am using Ginger Villain now, works fine! I can use the battery for more then 30 hours. Very good.

Does someone know how I can turn of the notification that a app has the possibility to move to the SD card, because it's a little bit annoying. ^^
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That's not the latest, its the penultimate one. Where as radio may differ for cell reception I can't see a reason why it would differ for people on WiFi. That's not to say it won't make a difference. I use that radio fine with WiFi though.

Adam g has a thread in this forum containing all the radios
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Isn't it an app called apps2sd that causes that notification?
[Desire Android Development] Rednasman:
Nope, in the applist there is no app called apps2sd. But is there a way to disable this? My phone is giving this notification by default I guess? But there must me an option to disable this I guess?
[Desire Android Development] cez10:
Thanks for the explanation, just installed the havs Axi, hopefully battery will be better :) do you guys suggest to wipe the battery stats??
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
Have you installed App 2 SD Free? That causes notifications.!
[Desire Android Development] Rednasman:
It's not a notification, it's really a message popup. It looks I am the only one who has this kind of notifications. I did not installed App2sd Free. With 2 options, cancel and OK. If I am pressing "OK" the application send me to preferences to move the application to the SD.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its not by default and I have never seen it myself on this rom.

I would expect it is some sort of app, but cannot be sure.
[Desire Android Development] clovek1:
thanks. the LauncherPro is very similar to Sense (if not better) and it's free.

I think i i will stay with the LauncherPro.
[Desire Android Development] Rednasman:
Oh, I think I found the solution. I installed a file manager, what gave me that notifications. I removed it and the notifications are gone. Stupid me ^^.

Thanks for the help! :-)

Best Kernel For Battery Life?

Hi,

I'm currently on GV1.4. Expereinecing no problems on this great ROM except with battery drain that's too fast. Using 1.6 SVS + CFS 1113MHz

I now see the 1.3 Kernels in the updates list and I've read the post explaining the difference between SVS-AXI & CFS, but despite all the technical terms personal experience is what figures.

So those of you who are on 1.4 and are defo getting great battery life, what kernel(s) are you using?

Regards

Captain Upgrade.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Eviollet 1.3 Gingerbread-HAVS-CFS i am using now

Have use Eviollet 1.3 Gingerbread-HAVS-AXI-CFS before and for me is the battery life with non AXI a little bitt better, why ever ^^
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I have been using eviollets kernel for a while now and have a very good battery life... I can use phone for a full day without charging...

Although this is because I under clock to 850mv minimum, instead of the standard 900mv on that kernel (i think)...

There is a thread for the kernels, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883598 , with happy people like my self.... :)
[Desire Android Development] dgoldhar:
Thanks for this! Did the trick, as was suffering same probs with slow usb speeds on .38 kernel.

1.3 Kernels

Been using GV 1.4 since its release with no problems at all.

Downloaded and installed one of the 1.3 Kernels off Villain setup today and now the phone just gets stuck booting.

The 'Why so serious' screen comes on for a few seconds then the phone reboots.

Can anyone help with this please?
[Desire Android Development] fersy:
Is it possible to add the same user agent(desktop) to stock browser which is used in dolphin mini?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
This is the standard kernel http://xda.richardtrip.org/ginger/kernels/GingerVillain_1.6_havs_1113Mhz_cfs.zip I believe... if you download and then flash that, as it would be the kernel that comes with the Rom... someone else has stated that they got bootloops after flashing kernel, I don't understand the kernels much, but didn't think one would give a boot loop...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
In browser, menu, more, settings, select user agent... it might be in there what you're looking for...
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Probably a voltage problem.

The stock kernel is a SVS kernel.

So, if you want to try the 1.3 kernels, start off with the SVS version.

The HAVS version has lower kernel voltages so may cause issues with some phones.

Also, I have heard of the necessity to clear the dalvik cache sometimes when changing the kernel. I don't see why, but it can't do any harm...
[Desire Android Development] mr_clean5953:
Where is the settings for the screen to turn off while charging?
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:

whener I use

a2sd cachesd the script gives me the following error (now done right after a wipe+reflash of GingerVillain 1.4):

[ ] Starting Darktremor Apps2SD in cachesd mode

rm: can't stat '/sd-ext/dalvik-cache/data@app@org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android-1.apk@classes.dex': Input/output error
rm: can't stat '/sd-ext/dalvik-cache/system@framework@com.android.location.provider.jar@classes.dex': Input/output error
mv: can't rename '/dalvik-cache/*': No such file or directory

is this normal?

afterwards after booting I always get the error:

The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

and a lot of apps sometimes have FCs...
[Desire Android Development] romracer:
Input/output errors on the rm commands is not good. Could mean a failing SD card or other corruption. You might need to wipe /sd-ext if you didn't do that already or reformat it (backup the FAT32 partition to your computer first if you do repartition the card). The "can't rename" failure is probably fine because you don't have anything in your dalvik-cache since you did a wipe first.

Probably related to a corrupt file on the SD card if its having trouble reading/writing. Do these happen if you leave Dalvik on the data partition (or move it to cache depending on your partition table size)?
[Desire Android Development] Svashtar:
Hi,

a flashed this great rom this morning and so far i can't complain about anything....i am still on charging though, so i will see how the battery works after a day or hopefully two :)

I have one question:

at first boot i noticed they new nice effect when phone goes to sleep or you put it to sleep....but now, i lost that effect, it doesn't show anymore.

Is it part of the android or launcher (i have moved to LP)

thx

Another "bugreport", or at least I think it's a bug...

My e-mail (exchange) account is set to push, but i've noticed that doesn't work always as intended. Today I've been at work for 6 hours and not a single e-mail came through, until I once manually refreshed my account. It seems that after this manual refresh, automatic push works for some time?
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
I found my Desire completely switched off this morning. I had to take off and replace the battery to switch it on again.

Could it be due to the fact that I use Ownskin as Live wallpaper? Maybe.

I don't know but it's the first time in four months that my phone switches off completely on its own, anyway... The level of my battery was around 65%. So, its not a question of low battery.

Another funny point: when I switched on my phone, a screen appeared indicating that my SD card couldn't be reached... which disappeared quickly and everything seems to work all right now... :eek:
[Desire Android Development] coochan8:
Did you change the settings in Spareparts? If so, change the windows animation back to 'normal' and the shut down effect should come back.
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
Another good point with this ROM:

I took around 50 photos at Xmas (with the version 4) and I must say that the result is pretty good, even with the photos taken at night... Honestly.

I'm waiting for the camcorder running with this ROM. Then, for me, everything will be perfect.

please tell me what is op?! i dont know what is op!?

what are i talking about?! :D

my eng language is not Good!

ok say:

i have ONE villian setUp in main menu

and many kernel in there.

i mean KERNEL , NOT mod and bootscreen ...

i wanna know, i should wich kernel install?

my info in the keRNeL subject is Low!! :D

i wanna know:

i should install

0.4 HaVS 1113 Mhz + Cfc (935mV minimum)...

or

0.4 Svs+BFs 1113 Mhz

or...

...

or...?

WICH ONE!?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
It's your choice: start with "0.4 HAVS 1113Mhz + BFS (875mV minimum) NOT Stable on all phones!" and try it for a couple of days. If it works well for you (i.e. for your phone usage, battery lasting, CPU speed, stability, app compatibility, etc), keep it; otherwise go down for a less stressed kernel.

The last chance is the ROM clean as just downloaded.

Personally, I don't use custom kernels and I'm rather happy with it (my phone doesn't love HAVS kernels at all).
[Desire Android Development] Amin.rapture:
