Feedback

This is a great rom, feels faster than Oxygen RC6 and I really the Zeam launcher. Everything feels so smooth! It's like a new phone in my hands.

However, I do have some feedback:

* The RGB_565 rendering makes the orange gradient look pretty bad, but I guess you are aware of the issue and waiting on new drivers?

* Why Winamp? I realize everyone has their preference… why not leave the stock music app and let users install whatever they want? Another issue with the missing stock Music app is that the music button on "Clock" (in dock mode) does nothing.

* Google voice preinstalled… currently, Google Voice only works for people in US. Others cannot benefit from this app, so it just adds bloat :( I feel the someway about Terminal Emulator… why include it by default?

* I really miss menu to wake feature from Oxygen. I realize this ROM has trackpad wake feature, but menu button is just better positioned on my HTC Desire :p

* Maybe consider some sort of an update app with configurable refresh just to notify that new ROM updates are available?

Overall, this ROM is amazing. Anxiously waiting for new updates… it's my new default (hopefully, no bootloops). Keep up the great work!!
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hi,

hey ihlades, could you please add the MD5s for the roms on your website ? :)

thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Done remi, thanks for the suggestion. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
I can install this one in Oxygen HBOOT Table? Really wanna try this one.

Oh, and does this one have the 'smooth-animations' from ClassicalGas? That'd be very nice.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
Yes, you can.
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
Thanks! And the smooth animations from ClassicalGas are included?
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
No, I don't think they are. Neither in the stock version, nor in the themed version AFAIK..
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
thanks a lot :)

I'm kinda paranoid, I NEED the md5 :D
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
AWESOME Rom! Maybe I will do some translation work for the advanced 'Redux-settings'.

Enjoying the ROM now!
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
hi all,

i searched about partition for apps_data2ext (and i'm sure there is). so what partition do i need for apps_data2ext? thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] Mystenes:
+1 here also
[Desire Android Development] itshotinhere:
Isn't this just so ihlades can see how many of each version of the ROM are in use? I seem to recall either CM or Oxygen (can't remember which) does the same. I doubt there is much more to it than that. Perhaps an opt-out mechanism might be handy for those who aren't keen on the idea. I really don't mind.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
CM does it too, yes. You can disable this via Privacy settings, but there isn't any real reason you'd want to do this since there is no personal information sent!

For those of you that can't understand that it isn't a bad thing at all: It does no harm, I cannot track your phone, I don't know what you do with your phone, I don't know any passwords, etc. I only get the carrier, phone model and Redux version. If that's too much then disable it! I knew some wouldn't agree with this so I included the possibility to turn this off, yes. But telling me "this is not cool" just because you think I'm tracking god-knows-what means you're... wrong. :)

Still think it's a bad choice? This ROM is 100% open-source (unlike MIUI, for example), you can go check what "activation data" means. Want to know what data is stored in the database? I can provide the table structures from the database, no problem.

Please remember this started out as my personal ROM. In time the userbase grew and I want to know exactly how many installations/upgrades there are, I want to make it easier to provide a good ROM for everyone. This isn't going to change, so if still think this compromises your identity or private data then you're free to use another ROM. I will not disable this just because some don't get what activation data means, sorry.
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
wow...i've been reading this subject and i'm quite surprised how people think...they said it's optional so turn it off and don't forget, google or windows do same like this. they also get info about what we use...so nevemind if you don't have so much secrets ;)
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
will the stats be published on redux site? it's interesting to know how many redux versions are activated/running :)

ps sent you a pm
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
http://redux.heliohost.org/. I'll put the link in the first post and on the website soon.
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
Serious perfect ROM, 1 problem. My dictionary does not work in Android Keyboard...

It's netherlands, any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
You can flash the CM LatinIME.apk, which includes the Dutch dictionary. This wasn't possible in Redux since the ROM must fit on an Oxygen HBOOT and those dictionaries are almost 1MB in size.
[Desire Android Development] dj-darkside:
Flashed 1.2 without Wipe, all works fine.

But the German translate of the Redux settings are very funny :D
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
yeah i know... will do a better job in the next release ;)
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
no one? :(
[Desire Android Development] dezz28:
Love it very smooth and fast rom
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What exactly are you asking?
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
how can i activate apps_data2ext? and what partition do i need for this? thanks btw :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
is the a2sd+ script that comes with the rom not sufficient?

Data2ext, data2sd etc don't always run as smoothly as you would like.
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
i was using miui data2ext and it was great. anyway let's try this. so fat32 + ext3 will be enough for partition?
[Desire Android Development] Proyboy:
I'm having trouble with Google navigation, I can't switch the screen off it keeps waking up again. Happen since 1.1.2 and still happens in 1.2 . Its a small problem but is anyone else having this problem or is it something I did...

Great rom!
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
wow, didn't notice that so far, here the same... really strange
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thats all thats needed, yep:)
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
+1

Confirm this too... keeps waking up. Not that that's a big deal with navigation but still a lil bug.
[Desire Android Development] blowy666:
Yes, and I can say that THIS script is working really fine:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10692249&postcount=1299

The only thing, you must delete the app2sd script manually from the REDUX zip (it is in /system/etc/init.d)...than flash the ROM, reboot, set up Google account, reboot to recovery and flash the Data2SD_GB.zip...thats all.
[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:
Does this rom work with Darmtremor's app2sd script?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:

[Desire Android Development] minop:
Hi,

Thank for your frequent updates ! But just one thing, with the version 1.2, USB transfer are slow. Can you fix this problem ? Currently, I'm using a different kernel (the old 2.6.35 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883598) and I've better results.

Have a nice day !
[Desire Android Development] 325i.:
I've not tried this ROM since 1.0.

I moved back to 2.2 as the WiFi used to randomly disconnect when the signal was low.

Has this been completely fixed now?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
compared to gingersense it's stays much longer on wifi, maybe the radio is important, i use 32.54.00.32...
[Desire Android Development] 325i.:
Oh, so the problem is still there?
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Which kernel from that page would you recommend?
[Desire Android Development] minop:
I'm not a pro but I prefer the ManU-1.4-Gingerbreab-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS (or here directly : http://famille.viollet.free.fr/DeFrostKernels/ManU-1.4-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS.zip)

And in SetCPU, I've put : -Governor --> ONDEMAND

-Minimum Frequency --> 245MHz

-Maximum Frequency --> 998MHz

I didn't change the kernel for a better battery life but especially for USB transfer (when you copy movies to your SD card with 500ko/s ><).
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Dropping to min 128 is hugely advantageous on that kernel. Especially if you use sysfs to set your own voltages
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
maybe i don't understand your problem, i can only say, i have wifi when signal is low. no problem with connection. can't remember how it was at 1.0.0 ;)
[Desire Android Development] hyakuman:
Camera flash too intense?

Anyone notice that the camera flash is WAY too intense when taking a photo in low light? It seriously washes everything out.

Any way to reduce the flash intensity to something close to Sense-based rom's original levels? Having such a crap flash on the camera is a harsh dealbreaker for me and I really want to go back to Redux.
[Desire Android Development] Teisemanden:
I'm noticing random restarts since i flashed 1.2 - Anyone else got this?

I'm using modified Kernel for two-way call recording, but that didn't affect stability with 1.1.2
[Desire Android Development] poorting:
Getting excellent battery life with that one. 1% drop per hour when idle
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
Nvm, works now.
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
massive thanks to the guy who posted it orginally - turnerpctech
[Desire Android Development] gautam.malik:
If you have powersaving mode enabled, then you may get random reboots.

I have disabled this option and set min speed to 245 MHz, and the runs like butter.
[Desire Android Development] JoaoVr:
GO Launcher EX Notifications, Google Maps, GO Laucher EX, TalkBack and Gmail are outdated.

in my humble opinion:

Talk, Street and Youtube apps are "secondary" and should be removed. Would me more important a simple file manager.
[Desire Android Development] vkass:
is it just me or it doesnt fit in a 90mb system partition?
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
Mine fits :)
[Desire Android Development] xbizkuit:
radio and partition recommended???

I´m going to give a chance to this rom

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] westernmg:
Tried REDUX for the first time and i am really impressed.

After a long time using Oxygen, CM and testing all the Sense ROMs i have to say REDUX fits my needs best of all.

Nearby all the advantages of CM with the slimness of Oxygen and an active developer is the best mix.

The speed and the batterylive using vorkkernel with 875mv is superb.

The only thing i miss in REDUX is the advanced custom settings for the display brightness, all the rest is the best!

Go on with your great work.

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] emvau:
That's exactly what i think...
[Desire Android Development] skodri:
ok, i was trying other roms for couple of days and i came to conclusion that redux is simply the best:) i flashed non themed version this time and in combination woth oxygen hboot i got much more space. i love power save mode too. phone is running smooth, and battery life is great. thank you ihlades for this :))
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
What are the important differences between Oxygen and Redux?

Both are AOSP based etc. Different authors, different kernels.

But what from the end user perspective?
[Desire Android Development] spymare:
onyx concept: stable (not using dirty hax)

redux: performance

Both are very fast performing roms.

But i find redux to have more functionally, and to have better performance than oxygen.

in my opinion redux is the best rom of them all :).
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
Oxygen is smooth and has the best battery life compared to cm7 or villain. I wonder if it could be even better with Redux and I doubt it 'cause redux is focused more on the performance...
[Desire Android Development] ali8383:
which is best kernal for battery ?

i'm using themed redux 1.2 , and battery life is too short :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I've moved to Gingervillain 0.6 from Defrost. Gingervillian is a very good rom. Very good.

I do find that redux is slightly better on battery than GV, even using the same kernel (i find the eviollet manU kernels the best out of all I have found for battery life).

Not sure if its placebo, nocebo or whatever, but when I moved to GV, I thought the screen seemed to use more power. However, now on redux it seems to use a little less - so back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
i just tried to flash the latest 1.2 over 1.1.2 but it doesnt work.

finding update package...

opening update package..

e: cant open /sdcard/redux-v1.2-themed-signed.zip (bad)

installation aborted.

i checked the zip file on pc and it gets opend there without an error. transfering it for the 2nd and 3rd time to my sdcard changed nothing :/
[Desire Android Development] DTBrum:
Me too. Tried MIUI last night. That lasted 15 minutes. Just clicking on settings triggered F/C's.

Tried Leedroid v3 as well. Worked fine, but I'm not a fan of sense. The only widgets I really like is the weather one (Where you can add multiple cities around the world) and the calender. Far too much bloat for me just to gain these, although I do like the coloured icons in the menu setting.

So after itchy feet and trying probably the best of the two alternatives to ASOP I'm back to Redux v1.2. And I have to add how helpful ihlades is via Twitter answering all my silly questions and issues (activation numbers etc)

Currently the best ROM available for my phone (ATM :D ) Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Redownload. It says bad. That's a corruption somewhere
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
i did twice already. once downloaded from multiupload directly and the 2nd time i tried the megaupload mirror.

hmmm :( gonna try the rapidshare one now.
[Desire Android Development] forestcall:
*BEST Desire Bravo ROM EVER*

Thank you so very much!

Having tried many roms including,

LeeDrOiD 2.4.1

CyanogenMod V7.0.0 and upto Nightly 40

MIUI (latest version)

and several odd no named roms.

This Redux v1.2 is so friggin cool!!!

The interface is clean and fun. The battery time is awesome!

My only real complaint is no real support for A2SD.

Anyway keep up the awesome incredible work!

BTW- Where can i donate a little paypal cash?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
I see you're on 3uk - do you live in a good reception area? Which radio and ril are you using with 1.2? Would love to know how you're finding the battery/reception.
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
the download from rapidshare worked and installation went without problem. thanks!

anyone got same problems when downloading latest redux from multiupload directly or megaupload? cant remember i had that problem on older versions.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
What do you mean? It has an a2sd script built in. It just doesn't move dalvik but there's an add on script to flash that does this in the downloads section.
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
hi all..need a bit of help here.

i just flashed redux 1.2 non themed version (moving from oxygen). wiped everything (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, batery stats).

everything's ok, except market can't detect my data connection.

first account setup done over wifi. apn restored from apn backup & restore and my data connection is working fine (3g/hsdpa icon on the notification bar).

but when i turn off wifi and use my data connection, market can't download anything (even can't open its start page, it keeps saying no connection with retry and i forgot the other one maybe it's ok button).

i know my data connection is working, cause when it happened i still can browse, open facebook, twitter, chat over gtalk, etc (basically everything that needs connection is working).

it seems like only the market that can't detect my data connection. i tried clear market data (settings>applications>market>clear data), also tried clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery....all with the same result. also tried to uninstall market update (it's version 2.3.6), but still the same.

is there any work around for this? (tried search the thread but can't find similar problem). this is the only problem keeping me away from redux which i really like to use as my daily rom now.

thanks in advance...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Have you tried reset apn back to default then manually add / select apn?

Is the 3g icon grey or green?
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
deleted...accidental double post.
[Desire Android Development] perangbintang:
yes i've tried resetting apn with no result. market still can't see my data connection. the H icon is green, but no activity (no data in and out). but if at the same time i use talk or any other online apps, the connection works.

if i connect back to wifi, market directly works. only data connection doesn't work.
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
Wow version 1.2 is bugged man!! cant even get into the manage apps setting:S black screen and FC! im on oxygen hboot
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Works for me. That sort of FC is usually /data related. did you come from v 1.1.2?

Have you tried a wipe?
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
i always fully wipe.. wiped twice.. now im flashing it with cm7 hboot and redownloaded it.. what can you recommend?? wich version of CWM are you using ?

EDIT: it worked with cm7 hboot! now trying with oxygem

EDIT2: working now! think it just was an corrupted download :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I use 2.5.0.7

It should work with oxygen... Hmmm

do you know how to use adb?

If so, boot into recovery if its still not working on oxygen hboot without flashing anything else...

adb shell
mount /system
ls /system

If you find a folder in /system called "lost+found" then it maybe it doesn't fit.

Edit> Good :)
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
WTF man:S its still not working properly.. still FC's in settings and apps are doing weird :S, i never had this before.. :S
[Desire Android Development] daniel.mitran:
Try fix permission in recovery or rom manager

Try wipe dalvik cache in recovery.

Hope it helps.

Daniel
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
I just flashed this ROM but 1 thing annoys me... it's installing apps on SD Card and i have ****load of space on internal memory, is there any way to choose installing apps default on internal storage instead?
[Desire Android Development] Z3RO2K:
Battery life is noticeably worse in the last few releases. Also brightness only seems to set at half and will not set full. Makes it difficult to see phone outdoors in bright sunlight.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] adz63:
This data to dalvik do I flash the normal way or via fastboot
[Desire Android Development] Teisemanden:
flash it via recovery, ergo normal way.
[Desire Android Development] Unknownbomb:
+1... Battery is really bad, and that its what I liked about redox.. 1.1.1 rc3 was much better.

Tried another kernel already, now even with juice defender, but its just not good.. Hope that you improve batt life in next version

Or does my go launcher use up so much?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Some have said go uses a lot of battery.

I use lpp. I find battery very good but 1.1.2 is my first redux
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Updated the progress and seek bars as per last screen shot.

Would anyone on Redux 1.2 (UN-themed) test it for me please?

Hi,

Can i just ask what is the best kernel for redux? (battery life)

thank you
[Desire Android Development] :
Give me the download link bud I'll test it
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
r u kidding me? battery life is great. i tried many roms but this is one of the best. it's been 2d 2h 26min and i have 31% battery and i made 106 calls and some messages and used internet. so what do you guys expect from 3.7 inch 480x800 amoled screen phone? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
that debate goes on as long as redux already exists imho.

i am currently using the 2.6.35.8 manU 1.4 GB HAVS AXI CFS version and its stable and battery life seems to be better than on the default redux kernel.
[Desire Android Development] Unknownbomb:
Tell me your setup then.. with past versions of redox i got like 2 days , now just getting a day.
[Desire Android Development] :
2 Days is amazing for any ROM on a desire and you really wouldn't be using it much would you... ReDux 1.2 has pretty good battery life in IMO i get at least 24 hours with moderate to heavy use regardless of what kernel i use.

I think with any smart phone like these you don't really expect to get 2 days if your actually going to use it.
[Desire Android Development] :
The lock screen slider buttons are not inline ;)

And you cant properly see the notification items
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
i use nothing extra, only data2ext patch and when it's fully charged i reset my battery stats :) that's all i did after flashing the 1.2 rom
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I knew about the lock but I'm not sure on that. After posting I saw that notifications were black text. Looking into now
[Desire Android Development] :
data2ext patch? wheres that? ;) Im keen to have a look
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
lol please explain me why you need that? i already got 300 MB for installing tons of apps.. do you need more?? XD
[Desire Android Development] :
Im not using a custom hboot
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
then use it.. its soo easy and much better ;)

Since using 1.2, my phone froze thrice, every time when I connected to a 3G mobile data network and the synchronization icon was displayed. Each time I have to restart the phone using Power-VolDwn-Trackball (or removing the battery)...
