Out of interest from those more familiar with gingerbread specifically, and vanilla android in general.

In sense the "contacts" app allowed you to "link" your various different ocntyacts (like Facebook, and various email address books). Is there a way to do this with the stock contacts/dialler or does one need to download a third party app.

If it is an app any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are you s off? And if do have you changed your hboot / mtd partitioning?
[Desire Android Development] craig432:
I am s-off but not changed any partitions

[Desire Android Development] friedit:
Just installed the ROM - works really great!
[Desire Android Development] siliKoner:
I don't think profile pics update like they do with sense 'people' app. Pity. It's one of the only things I miss from sense roms.

[Desire Android Development] CoreOxide:
I have no lockscreen sounds :(

They are ticked in the Sound menu.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I haven't had a sense rom for some time now, but mine never updated on Sense.

Anyway, try "syncmypix"
[Desire Android Development] siliKoner:
Thanks for the tip.

sK
[Desire Android Development] rferrett:
I have just used the sync my pix app and it is grand.

Blimey vanilla android is loads better than sense, don't know why I waited so long before giving it a go.
[Desire Android Development] rferrett:
Btw I can't work out how to "thanks" a post on the app so until I get to a desktop just to say thanks to rootsu!
[Desire Android Development] pattiman:
I have the same issue. Installed a fresh version of GV 1.0. Did a fulle wipe before installing

EDIT: rebooting the device helped me.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah you cant unfortunately. Thanks though ;)
[Desire Android Development] CoreOxide:
I have no screen lock sounds :(

They are enabled in the menu and the device is not on vibrate.
[Desire Android Development] Marsbar:
No-one?

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Not sure but you could use my back up root to back up the tuff that Google.does, flash the Rom, test if it does or not (while letting the forum know) and if it doesn't use the my backup root :)

little trouble with ext.

Hi, i have an Desire Alpharev S-off with BravoSense (180-40-217) 1.8 hboot.

My 8GB SD card CL4 is parted about: 1GB EXT4 and 7GB FAT32.

I have install (after a full wipe) the GingerVillian 1.0 and the kernel 1.2_havs_1113Mhz@925_cfs that is stable on my device

(i have had random auto reboot with the 1190Mhz kernels).

Now my problem... :o

I have restored my apps (backup from Defrost 6.1 with TitaniumBackup) and it's seem all ok.

Sd ext is apparently used by the rom (ext nandroid backup is about 350MB)...

But if i install new app, those are installed into internal memory, and so i see the message of low space...

I have set Cyanogenmod -> Applications -> install internal/external/automatic, but nothing change.

Is it a little bug, or what am I doing wrong? :rolleyes:

p.s.: Richardtrip thank for your work ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
have you moved Dalvik cache as per post #1 of this thread?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
No, it's say "Anyone with n1 table"... Bravo N1Table right? I am using Bravo Sense partition...

If I had to do it ... :confused:

How can i fix it?

Do a Nandroid backup, move the Dalvik cache and do a restore? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I think.I might have to add it to my signature... something like "READ POST ONE FULLY... IT WILL HELP WITH LOW SPACE MESSAGE" as its just getting.ridiculous the amount of ppl that ask daily...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It says anyone with n1 table don't flash anything before moving dalvik... not "only n1 table users move dalvik" read post one, use terminal emulator and write the commands.. the message will go away...
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I had read it, but probably did not really understand what it is N1 table :o

Sorry if I made you angry :o, now i move the cache Dalvik.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No, its not you mate, but honestly, everyday someone asks that question... if you either searched, or read the last 40 posts (sounds like a lot but only 4 pages) you would have found the answer :)
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
Haha you sound furious xD

I understand your anger. But I also understand the new people that ask the same questions.. in the beginning it all seems harder then it is. I myself still have some questions unanswered after owning my Desire for almost a year.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I understand, i follow many other forums and i understood your situation the same. ;)

You're right, usually i look at the last posts, but the solution to the problem, it was not left to find :D
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I know, I thought I did after rereading it... lol.. sorry to everyone :)

Yes, and I also understand that I was new to it once, and that I needed help... plus I am here to help, so I may as well be nice when helping... but it does get to me.. lol..
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It should be re worded I think as it can be a bit confusing.

Maybe something like:
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Agree. It does sound a bit confusing...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I do aggree - I think Richardtrip just copied what i wrote, becuase i was having boot loops when first trying to load GV cos was flashing fontchanger.zip over the top too, and just added it to first page for warning. Maybe next time he is online someone could point him to the above post to get him to change first post?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
If you install FB or Twitter you can choose to merge your contacts. Works like a charm
[Desire Android Development] Staggers:
I think he already got the contacts joined, it's the contact pics that don't automatically update when, for e.g., a FB contact changes their pic.

Swyped from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Changed my sig - Hopefully more people will now look at it! hopefully it will do until the next time Richardtrip is online and then hopefully change the first post!
[Desire Android Development] huurux:
i have reboots ...at least 4 times a day...sometimes i have to put out bartery...because its blocked...what may be the reason? thanx
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I think a FAQ or own gv forum would most helpful.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Have u flashed another kernel? And if so what is your mV?
[Desire Android Development] huurux:
yes, from villain setup, newest so far 1.2 havs 1113 mhz + cfs (900 mv )
[Desire Android Development] :
Try the svs kernel again and see how it goes!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Unfortunately it may not be stable at 900, and you may have to raise the voltage..

Edit or try SVS

Edit bertosch beat me to it
[Desire Android Development] huurux:
i used 850mv kernel and it was fine...i dont know what is the problem...i will try svs...
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
I switched to SVS + CFS 1113 after reading some comments here, works great and stable! This ROM is getting closer to perfection every day... with the Honeycomb theme, it also looks sexy <3 Impatiently waiting for the next version of GingerVillian!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Are you going down to 128mhz or using setcpu at all? Maybe uninstall to test it it could be profile?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
I believe it does if you let FB and Twitter sync in menu -> accounts
[Desire Android Development] :
Well without Sense the sync with FB and Twitter isnt that good anymore.

I for myself use syncmypix and it is working great so far. But it is really no comparison to sense! It is maybe the only thing I miss a bit in the AOSP Roms...
[Desire Android Development] arinoki:
Both players (vplayer and rockplayer) force close video, which I have downloaded from YouTube (hd720). What reason could be?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've had to use syncmypix on every AOSP rom. I have stopped using it and now my contacts no longer update with latest pics.

Sync is set to on.

Hi all.

I finally did it.

Last night I jumped from DeFrost to GingerVillain and have been quite impressed by the battery usage over the night. It's funny how I was under the impression that battery usage was higher on GB than on Froyo.

Just one issue : clean wipe and install of GV 1.0 and the flashlight dropdown button is greyed out. Any idea of how can I can enable it? I remember this was the case on older versions of DeFrostand that it was fixed with a new version of DeFrost. Does it work for others?

In advance, thanks.

Regards,
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
Been on this rom for about a week now and all smooth, good battery life.

1 problem, MMS. Have checked and checked APN settings and also wiped data through Titanium Backup for SMS/MMS prefs but still cant send or receive pictures.

Anyone else still having problems with this? Any ideas how to fix?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Welcome to the Club!!! It is a very good ROM

Im one of the few (i think) that it works for, yes it was fixed in defrost, but not yet in GV.

I didnt wipe between defrost and GV so my power widget settings remained.

Perhaps just a titanium restore of CMParts and its data will be suffcient?

Try it and let me know.

Whilst I have a dialogue with you,

In defrost, I used to find that WIFI sucked less power than HSDPA.

Now though, its sucking 4MA-6MA on HSDPA and 6MA-8MA on WiFi.

Do you think this is ROM, KERNEL or (32.48) Radio related? So many variables....

Thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
It usually is one of those 2 things which you have already addressed. It works for me, but I never use it to be honest. Email is cheaper.
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
For me it worked after also enabling it in the energywidget
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ah cool. Thats easier!
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Are you using Richard's 1.2 kernel? I thought I saw a post of his saying he increased the power settings for WiFi transmission, that might be the reason...

I'd give EViolett's kernel a test, that should help determine whether it's kernel-related.

Having said that.. I'm on CM7 RC1 right now, and the power consumption is higher than on GV 0.8...
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
I'm a big fan of DeFrost ROM, have been using 6.1a for a while. DeFrost 6.x is based on CyanogenMod 6.x.

Now CyanogenMod is pushing version 7, RC1 is already available. Will GingerVillain be based on CM7, or will DeFrost be updated to 7.x? I'm a bit lost, so an explanation will be appreciated :)

My apologies for the off-topic.
[Desire Android Development] :
That is strange... I use the SVS Kernel from EViollet and got with a bit customized voltages 2-4mA with WIFI enabled...

Try an other radio maybe?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Second post change log -

Version 1.0:

* * Full update to CM7 stuff (thanks to CM Team)

* * Added t-mobile Theme Manager (thanks to t-mobile + CM Team)

CM7 already in Ginger Villain :)
[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
Thanks, I missed that part somehow :(

So, there won't be any updates to DeFrost and I should switch to GV?
[Desire Android Development] :
Well its up to you ;) But GV is really nice ... so give it a try!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It does look to seem that way! Seems DeFroST will be staying on 2.2 and GV be the 2.3 by RT!
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Then again, in DeFrost, there is "Fro", which, I guess stands for Froyo.

So I wouldn't be surprised if DeFrost sticks with Froyo, and GV takes up the lead for GB.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
haha doubt it, have you not seen my signature? ;)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Didn't work for me.

In the Energywidget, I enabled it, played around with the flashlight, but it's still grayed out in the CM interface.

Just tried to restore my DeFrost CM settings, but doesn't seem to do anything either...

Grrrr... ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Its still greyed out in mine, but because I selected it in defrost it is selected (but greyed out) on GV
[Desire Android Development] :
Changed the Radio already? :D
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Nope :) I'm on the road today, using the XDA app, can't see the sigs.

But I'll take your word for it ;)
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Hmmm... apparently I'm not restoring the right settings because CM parameters restore isn't doing anything.

I guess I'll stick with this and use the energy widget to switch the flashlight ON/OFF until Richard fixes this.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not yet. I'm at work. I will try that sometime but I dont really want to be flashing radios left right and centre just yet

Is it possible to keep the normal lockscreen enabled although you are using gestures to unlock the screen?
[Desire Android Development] bam82:
I use email when sending anything to my mates but if I sent my wife an email her head would explode! lol
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
I have set a gesture on lockscreen to enable/disable the flashlight.

The fastest way for my needs to switch torch on/off.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Tesla Software - Widget locker along with TeslaLED - got a slider for my torch on the lockscreen! can't get better for me! :)

Excellent suggestion.

Just enabled that and it works fine.

Thanks!

What is the best swap-size for GV 1.0?

And what does swap-size means? :o

Please help me fast!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I believe with the desire swap is not.needed, so use 0... I formatted with gparted and didst put a swap in there. I believe it is for extra RAM or something...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Agree, swap on desire is more hinderence than use.
[Desire Android Development] RedFeather:
Since GV 1.0 i got a bit problems, reinstalled today.

Hope it wil fix some things. (That would be great, going on holiday tomorrow :D)

Any tips for fast and good performance, and low battery usage?!

And what exe do i have to get the Real HTC Back? (Its unrooted right?)

And where is that nice button at above from? ^^
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What were your problems with GV 1.0?

Best kernel i have found is the manU 1.3 kernel AXI - with custom VDD levels. Check rootSU's sig...

Cant help with the RUU (i thinks that what you mean)...

And the button above? do you mean the pic i posted? that is widget locker with my custom coloured sliders and the teslaLED slider for the torch! just search tesla on the market - or https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.flashlight&feature=search_result
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
3 bugs?

Yes, probably i am unlucky... i know... :)

I have 3 problem with GingerVillian 1.0... :rolleyes:

1) With screen off : Often, on incoming call the screen do not wake up, and the phone freeze... i must take out battery :(

It's happen with and without SetCPU's profiles (as Screen Off = low clock)

2) When i plug the usb cable, random the debug function message appear... :mad:

(i have disabled debug's function, but it auto activate...)

3) The 3D function doesn't work... when i test it with quadrant, i don't see (screen black) the last two test (DNA- GameWalking)... :confused:

The problem isn't the test, but i I wanted to try the new Aura GPS (3D acceleration) and i get only black screen, so i have done the

Quadrant test that report the same trouble...

With Defrost 6.1 it's all ok, so the trouble isn't hardware.

Please... don't tel me to get back to Defrost :D

I hope to be a usefull "beta tester" :)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Go Back to DeFroST :p Joke!!

1) I sometimes get a slow reacting screen when an incoming phone call, however, never had one where i had to a battery pull. I did once have to enter my pattern lock before i could answer the call though! Its somethigg i live with now! Sorry not help, but an aswer!

2) I leave debugging on (dont know if it does any harm) for TB. Never really had any problems. I do use the USB connection quite a bit too...

3) The 3d functions work for me in quadrant! i know they didnt, and quadrant updated! 3d gaming also works for me too... so thats another weird one!

P.S. Go back to DeFroST!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Just turn off teh usb debugging notification. Its good to have it on anyway
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I was thinking about, less "stress" :D

Ok, next time i try to wait 10minuts before to take the incoming call... :p

Yes, i also use TB for backup my apps...

But i dislike it, if i not need to do a debug... ;)

ok, i can also disable the message :)

Simple 3d games as "Can Knockdown" works... :confused:

so the problem isn't 3D but some thing else? i don't know... :)

Less trouble for me... :rolleyes:

But i am headstrong, and i have to make it work :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I can even use Need for speed Shift (Complex 3D) fine.

Is your quadrant definitely the latest version (check market) because until the recent update, it only displayed black page (like Matt said).

Worth noting that quadrant wont give you a true score anyway on GV
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Yes, i used the last Quadrant 1.1.7...

Now i have done a full wipe and try to redone the test with a full clean gingervillian...

Quadrant and Aura GPS...

Nothing is changed...

Ok, i lost my patience... full wipe and restore the old Backup of Defrost6.1... :mad:

I need only to update 5 o 6 apps from the market...

Ok, I look forward for Defrost 7.x or Gingervillian X.x final :D
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Don't believe that there will be a final version ever.

If so, it's time to get a new device (toy)... ;)

I noticed that sometimes the data indicator and signal strength are white, and then green in the notification bar. Data transmits during both colors. What's the meaning of the colors?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
When it is green you're connected to Google services i.e. gtalk, market
[Desire Android Development] gladman:
Aha thanks.
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I know it :D

I like keep my devices (also DVDplayer, PC, etc...) updated in software, driver and firmware...

But with the Gingerbread's roms (also the cyanogen) i lost patience... for now... ;)

Another thing i miss is the full customization of the roll-top ... :rolleyes:

So I waited until the GingerVillian 1.0 (and CyanogenMod night 41) ...

You better wait a little ... :D

I often have to click my power button 3 to 4 times before I get to my lockscreen to unlock the phone. Sometimes it works with the first click, sometimes I need to click a few times. Anybody else having this problem?
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Who is "WE"?

Not me...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
We have mms
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
What we need is to see an update to Gingervillian in the Villian setup so we can fix that superuser bug. After that we can get rid of the small internal memory problem (by typing su cachesd in terminal) and we can install Bejeweled 2 and Flight Control :D

That probably just me though :o

Edit: damn this is really getting annoying ! Cant fix it...ROM Manager cant install the updated GV 1.0... NOTHING opens that requires Superuser.. read like 10 pages way back when this bug was being discussed ... why richard, why did you creat (by accident) this evil superuser bug -_-
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
I know this problem from the first days with V 1.0. Think it depends on the kernel.

Since I switched to EViollets HAVS-AXI-CFS Kernel, everything works fine.

[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
It probably is because you restored settings using Titanium. I had this when I first moved to DeFroST, and with a bit of googling discovered that it was, of all unlikely things, wallpaper settings which caused this (DanFrance had worked this out). So it may be the same cause here.

You could try clearing all wallpaper-related settings, but I think I tried that without success (but you never know - that and a reboot might do it). I just ended up reinstalling DeFroST from clean and then being careful what I restored.
