S2e has only just come up in this thread, and I stated that other cm7 scripts didn't work, but to try the app anyway... I don't think anyone has actually confirmed it not working...

I did say to try the app, but I don't think anyone did :)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
There won't be an official Gingerbread for HTC Desire, unfortunately...
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Bastards!

Good thing we have people like Richard :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I did try in the blufrost theme but it didnt work. I have seen theme changer change some emition icons though, so i guess it is possible..
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
its ironic that htc claims that sense 3.0 is too big when xda has already ported it to our good friend the desire.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes but with half the apps in SD ext... I don't think HTC would tell all desire users to make an ext on SD card, root and then HTC use the a2sd script... would be funny though...
[Desire Android Development] Jameswgm:
That would be really funny, doesn't matter anyway, desire's modding community is top notch. There's a fair bit of life left so long as mod devs don't all drop it for newer handsets.
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
I can not download from market apps bigger than 5mb. why? what can i do? I 've got data++ hboot and, 727mb free a2sd and 212mb internal storage.

I have an issue with the IME Keyboard from the villain setup. On the number keyboard, full stop long press and the one for alternative it shows "&" instead of the "&" sign. I'm not shure that this came with the keyboard from villain setup cause I realised the issue after installing it. Any ideas? Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
known bug. find other fixed keyboards in xda

[Desire Android Development] Atse:
Just to give some counter arguments to the complainers and BUG! shouters, this rom is working absolutely fine for me, including the new market! And the camcorder off course! So thanks Richard!
[Desire Android Development] Shaizer:
Rom is working PERFECT, Just Brilliant man! only thing I'm missing is trackball wake, is it possible to get? thanks =D
[Desire Android Development] panos_ts:
We all thank him for his hard and really good job! We under no means complain about anything, all we just do is mention to the chef some problems of minor (or major) importance, in order to help him make this ROM as good and stable as possible!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Every Post has some bug report so i guess it's normal so the rom developer is aware that there might be or some issue.

it's only in this thread that feedback are threated differenty.

anyways, downloading now and will flash tomorrow, i'll try the other ost data2whatever first. Thanks for the rom
[Desire Android Development] eastonfr:
I have to say fantastic work. Only bugbear for me. Flash does not work witb wifi but does for 3g. Weird. I have upto date flash player installed. Is this a known bug richard?
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
Thumbs up for a good rom.. I got a question though, will 3d graphics processing be further optimized after nexus one ota comes? :)
[Desire Android Development] castafiore:
The only thing that doesn't work for me is "TV d'Orange" (of Orange_France).

I have no problem for launching this application, but when I try to launch a channel:

- With Ginger Villain 0.4, I had the sound but no image.

- With G.V. 0.6, no image, no sound...

Not a big problem, since I can see most of these french channels through Internet (or via the app "Play TV" which collect the Internet links to these channels ).

Richard,

What do you think? Could it come from the API's level of "TV d'Orange" that is still on # 8 ?

Solution for FC with new Market at GingerVillain:

Reflash GINGERVillain and first flash the new Market from VillainSetup.

FC's are caused by TitaniumBackup MarketDoctor - dont use it at Gingerbread till TitaniumBackup updated to Gingerbread compatibility!!! Titanium Market Doctor breaks new Market at the Moment!!! :eek::rolleyes:

"Trackball wake" works on my phone with this 0.6 release
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
wtf are you talking about.. noone has trackball wake in gingervillain

HTC Desire | GingerVillain | Sent from XDA App
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I do, along with everyone else who is on 0.6...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yes, richardtrip says he just needs the lib files or something.. so when nexus get, a proper dump can begin... I believe...
[Desire Android Development] smarty213:
Did you flash any extra modules for that? Because I recently flashed a fresh install of GingerVillain 0.6 and am missing the trackball wake.
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
ok if it is on gingervillain then where do you set it? oxygen doesn't have trackball wake yet (or should it be optical joystick wake?) so I doubt gingervillain has trackball wake. fyi I am running 0.6 and pressing on the little circle thing below my screen when the screen is off does nothing

HTC Desire | GingerVillain | Sent from XDA App
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I haven't set an option to do it, it just does it... I am on home screen, close the phone, then wake it with trqckpad, joystick, the little circle in the middle of bottom of phone...

I have a pattern lock, don't know if it makes a difference...

Weird... I defiantly have it...
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
What can i do to fix this? I read in this forum that data++ hboot is working fine with this rom.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Change hboot or custom mtds...
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
If i flash Bravo Stock hboot i have to flash the rom again with wipe etc?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No... if you read the alpharev website. Take a nandroid, flash hboot, restore nandroid.. take a look at the custom mtds though, as you will have a lot of wasted /system space...
[Desire Android Development] xatou:
The rom will work with Bravo Sense hboot?
[Desire Android Development] dsymbol:
Oh No, i've just updated with 2.5 & I cant find google maps from the app list.

Cant find it from the market either

Please help!

thanks,

Install market

You can try to install http://xda.richardtrip.org/ginger/mods/Market_2.3.4.zip for the richard trip repository.

Greetings,

[Desire Android Development] kboeckx:
Install market

or look at http://xda.richardtrip.org/ginger/mods/ for other versions

greetings,

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It should be in the market. Where in the world are you? Have you tried market enabler which emulates being on a choosen market I.e. American market if in India or something...

Or you could extract the maps.apk from an old Rom, place on SD card. and install with astro?
[Desire Android Development] dsymbol:
Hi Kris, downloaded the market zip file from there. No help :-(

I'm from Vietnam. & I dont know what the market enabler is.

I dont know how to extract the maps.apk from the previous GV 2.3 :-(

Please advice

Thanks for your time.

D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Search on the market for market enabler, it will help you out... you should then be able to see the full market...

I will extract the apk if you want... do you want maps on /system or /data?
[Desire Android Development] dsymbol:
mattmanwrx,

I've downloaded market enabler & found google maps & it's the latest 5.5 too!!! woohoo.

Thank you so much for your help!

Regards,

D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No problem... happy to help... now go through market enabler to see what you are missing from your market :)
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Is it just my phone or has somebody else problems to load themes from the market?

The majority of the themes in the stickied thread of the Android/Themes forum is not downloadable on my phone.

The themes simply don´t show up if searched by phone. If I use my PC and try to install the themes remotely the button is greyed out and a popup claims that my device isn´t compatible. To me it seems like my phone isn´t telling the market, that I´ve got theme chooser installed and working.

Funny thing is, I still get updates for the installed themes on my phone via market and this is working flawlessly.

So my question: is something wrong with my phone or with GV? :(
[Desire Android Development] toinux:
I found a method that creates a RAM directory dedicated to Market downloads. It works very well, but you have to do this manipulation for every GingerVillain release : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992176

It would be nice to have this directly included... Richard ?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Nice, it looks like it will work well... and as you say, if Richard used this ppl could then use the cm7r2 hboot... :)

I'll try and alert him to your post next time I notice he is online..
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Quoted from 4 pages back...

Not just you..
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Um, yes - I explained the problem 4 pages back but not really formulated as a question and so I got no answer - so I posted the above as an obvious question in the hope to find a solution to this :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Woopsy. Sorry, rarely look at the poster, sorry again. Can you name a theme that you know you can't get from the market, so that I can search and see if it comes up on phone?
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
Well, nearly every theme which has a market link - e.g. the first ones by Upward Spiral like Minimal Magic, Blue Bionic, Red Remix etc.
[Desire Android Development] :
As well as Honeycomb 3D ;) On GV 2.4 it appeared and I could update it... But on GV 2.5 doesnt work anymore :(

But this /cache-market workaround looks great and would be awesome included in the rom. If Richard moves some apps from /system to /data as well there should be enough space on the CM7 hboot.
[Desire Android Development] fersy:
For me orbot is not working in GV2.5

Can anybody confirm this?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Well I can see them, so I guess it may be your location... if you download market enabler and then search, does that help?
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
My problem recently( since i used a2sd cachesd cmd), when i update an app, the phone wrongly reports that i have 5kb of disk space left, when i know i have more then 20MB left (last time i checked before updating any apps), is it the cachesd causing problem or...

added: DT's a2sd detected my EXT as EXT4, but on PC checked is EXT3, why?
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Hi guys,

I have 3 questions about GV 2.5...any help is appreciated ;)

Does anyone else have an issue when pressing the power button to turn the screen on that sometimes the screen turns on then off instantly but the buttons still stay lit up? You need to press the power button another 2 times to get the screen to come back on. I noticed this in 2.4 as well.

This is probably more a question for the folks over at CM but is it possible to get a power saver menu for setting certain power settings (turn off data, reduce screen time out etc) when the battery is running low?

Are there any ringtone packs available for this ROM that can be flashed through recovery for GV 2.5?
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
1. Yes. turn off screen on animation. known problem.

2. i saw sth like that a while agno. nevertheless i cannot remember the name of the app. i'm usin llama with certain event triggers and works fine for me (when i don't touch the gps on/off :) )

3. no that i know of...
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Thanks for your help lexxa...

I'll have a look for an app on the market for the power savings option.
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
I can see them, too - I just can't install them.

Location is Germany, market enabler set to US-T-Mobile doesn't solve the problem.

Can you install any of the themes from Upward Spiral, while running GV 2.5 on your Desire?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Sorry, I was looking at upwards spiral apps on market, and didn't realise they were for launcher pro plus (i think). I really should read more...

But to answer your question, no I can't see them, so I can't install them...
[Desire Android Development] germanhoss:
And when you try to install them via PC by clicking one of the links in the stickied thread I mentioned?

On my PC the themes are visible when opened through a link in above mentioned thread, but the market claims incompatibility and refuses to install.

Is this observation verifyable by you, too?

If yes, there must be a reason for this behaviour. I had a conversation with rori, the author of the GreybreadX theme, which wasn´t very satisfying. To make it short - he simply doesn´t know what causes this behaviour and offered an alternative download.

Of course there must be another way then beg every author of a good theme to offer alternate download links :D

Strange thing is, there are themes which are working quite well like the JAMT themes. If nobody has an idea I flash an older version of GV this evening and try again to see if it´s GV´s newest version or a new market problem.

If this shows no results it would maybe an idea to ask a couple of theme-cooks what parameters they use when putting a theme in the market. Unfortunateley I have not the slightest experience of the dev-side of the market but that won´t stop me :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I too, cannot install the apps through the market. I believe it will have something to do with our desire not being in the correct market search... Or the other way round...! the app is not supported on the desire, and maybe the developers have to include it for the different phones... Either that or there is something in the rom, which should state CM7 or something, i'm just guessing though!
[Desire Android Development] trion:
I also vote for this :-)
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
+1 seems very interesting :D
[Desire Android Development] ufrat:
Don't worry ...

you can mount an ext3 or an ext2 as ext4 without any problems because the ext4 is designed to do this and there are no issues with it ... this is working since kernel 2.6.29.

The nice thing is you save space cause you dont need ext3 and ext2 drivers anymore.

The new ext4 features aren't enabled with the mount as ext4!
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
This method is for s-off devices only as I understood.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No its not... the market download fix is here...

Seems easy to do... I will look at it at a later date....
[Desire Android Development] pcardenas:
Just did it and world fine!

It would be great to include this trick in future releases!
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
must have misunderstood then.

once one have decided to stick with gingervillain (which every desire owner should :) ), just use custom mtd and the world will be fine. :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yep, seems logical now... however, /cache is also used for games... what happens then with the small /cache... can anyone confirm?
[Desire Android Development] lexxa:
neat sollution....

i guess this is the more elegant wayof doing things, nevertheless if you are not s-off it could cause troubles...

from my point of view this can be also achieved byt edititng the init.d scripts running during the boot process.

the only downside i can see is the lack of any "garbage collector" which will alter the design of the ramdisk itself after it has been used...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You don't need to be s off for that, however, if you are not s off, you haven't changed mtd, so you don't have a small /cache :)..

And ppl have tried the init.d scripting, without success. It is different the way the cm7 scripting works...
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
Gotta small problem. My Gv powered htc desire started to reset unexpectedly. First it happened once in a few days but for the last two days, it's happening 2-3x per day. Anyone had this problem?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
What have you installed? Kernel? Patches? etc.
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
Additionally? Nothing of that sort.

Apps:

Taskos to do

Weatherbug

ssh tunnel

flash player 10.3

viewdle socialcamera

runkeeper

wifi static

blic(serbian news app)

verb conjugation

exchange rates

androidify

google docs

I think those were post 2.5 installs.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Strange. Usually it is the kernel which would cause random reboots. Have you been updating or is it a fresh install each time?
[Desire Android Development] LaMpiR:
I updated from 2.4 version. Any ideas how to solve it? :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I can't recommend anything, as I don't know what the problem is... could it be the taskos app, is that a task manager? They are not needed... it could be the voltages dropping too low, but that wouldn't happen with the standard kernel.. it could be a rouge app, that is playing around with android...

Maybe a fresh install will help, can't say it will for sure though...
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
any idea on the faulty disk space report i mentioned?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
+1 here.

Usually this kind of problem comes from installing a different kernel, or installing an incorrect RIL over the ROM. Maybe because of your current radio. Which radio version are you using?

Has anything changed in the environment? Temperature rise?

As mattmanwrx, I would recommend backing up the phone, and reinstalling from scratch to see if it fixes the issue. If so, then one of your apps is wreaking havoc on your phone. But I really fail to see which one and how it could do that.
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Which disk space are you talking about?

Please give us the available disk space on each partition. Most probably you only have 5Kb left on the internal storage, which means that you can't install any new apps.

In order to help you, it would help us if you gave us more information, like which HBOOT you are using if you S-OFFed your phone for instance. Every information you can about your current partitions.

[Desire Android Development] ZeroNRG:
After installing GV 2.5 I noticed an issue with the GPS reception, read through some forums and some people experience the same.

When I start the application that requires GPS (GoogleMaps, Sygic Nav, FlitsNav) it turns out that the device cannot find any fix or the fix seems to be going off and on.

After grabbing GPSTest from the market and starting this tool first I somehow managed to get it working again.

When you reboot the phone the GPS becomes not responding, until you start GPSTest again and start thh desired app after that

- Running GV 2.5 from start post

- Original latest Radio which came with the Stock ROM (5.11.05.27)

Is there a fix available for this GPS problem, as it does not happen in the original HTC rom (Froyo kernel 2.6.32.15-gf5a01c/build 2.29.405.5)
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
this is what i posted a bit earlier

so basically, i know i have more than enough space in internal, but install and update caused it to falesly report i have insufficient space
[Desire Android Development] emirhan87:
About that internal space issue: I took a nandroid and then moved all of apps (which have big data) to sd via titanium. It's been a week now and no issues here.

Now I have 80+MB of internal. :)

I can make a tutorial if it'll help to anyone.
[Desire Android Development] drakohla:
Just a small question regarding themes.

Are the themes designed for CM7 working on GV?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Do you mean the theme chooser? Yes, they should work.. of it is flashable themes, they may work, if the framework is the same (gv uses the cm7 framework I believe)....
[Desire Android Development] drakohla:
So if GV uses CM7 framework all of the designed CM7 themes should work, only when CM7 nightlies get framework changes which GV hasn't includes yet, correct?
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Which app did you use to report the internal free space?

Titanium Backup has been reported to return bad values.
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
quick system info pro
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I believe that to be correct, however cannot confirm as I haven't tested it. You could test it though, take a nandroid first to make sure... :)
[Desire Android Development] drakohla:
Thanks for your help, will do some trial and error, with help of nandroid backups ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Cool, let us know the outcome....

Just thinking further on this, and the gv Rom is based on nightlies (i think), so it may be difficult to find a theme for the nightly...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It's strange... never happened for me... maybe try moving dalvik to SD again, just to see if it make.a difference...?
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
i still wondering what caused it, because i did not do anything, and 1 moment i have loads of free spaces, the next.. 5kb.. really weird, i tried move and rebuild, still no outcome
[Desire Android Development] traderjean:
Hi,

I was with GV for a while and always had that bug when trying to turn on 3G, it doesnt. It only works if I go to networks > select automatically and then it connects to 3G. If I turn on Wifi, I have to do that again when I turn wifi off.

For a while I moved to another ROM (Sense) and didnt have this prob. But GV efficiency brought me back. Now thats the only prob I have. A bit anoying as I switch from WiFi to 3G all the time.

just want to know if I'm the only one, if you know a fix for that ?

thx a lot
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I'm afraid you're the only one.

I switch from 3G to WiFi all the time and have absolutely no issue.

I use Juice Defender to control this automatically and haven't seen the need to enable 3G ever.

Also, if you still get the problem, try adding a 2G/3G switch in the notification power bar to switch easily.
[Desire Android Development] krader:
I have no problems with this. I switch wifi On/Off and 3G/2G frecuently and I've never had any problem
[Desire Android Development] traderjean:
hmmm thanks guys. I do use the notification bar, but use Data button. I will try to see if it works better using 2G/3G. Weird I'm the only one and just installed ROM after total cleanup.
[Desire Android Development] albert_htc:
I'm tempted to try this ROM to compare it against cyanogenmod 7..

Any issues I need to be aware of ? Does the GPS work OK ??

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] shokwaav:
it is based on cm7

gps works for me

only niggling issue is that occasionally when you wake phone, the lockscreen shows up then disappears while the buttons still remain lit. you have to sleep the phone and re-wake it for the phone to respond properly.

hasn't happened to me much recently tho.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
You can stop that happening by turning off the screen on animation :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea it is a brilliant rom... if your going to try from cm7 are you on the cm7 hboot? as it may cause market problems...

No GPS issues with me either...
