I was having probs with nearly all ginger roms eating my battery and after testing lots of different kernels and radios i now have found a great package that suits me fine.. yes i sometimes have to charge once a day with moderate/heavy use, that i dont mind but at least my charger aint constantly plugged in !

Dont forget these are high end phones and ofcourse will consume battery and i suggest if you want a phone with AMAZING battery life maybe you should consider a Nokia 1680 instead of your Htc Desire lmao :P

My setup is >>

Redux rom

GingerVillain svs 1190_cfs kernel

Radio _32

I have set wi-fi to (never sleep)

I dont leave anything on apart from data as i need it for incoming mail...

Powerwidget is showing when screen off 2-4 MA and thats with data (3g) left on.

I dont use wifi as i cant pick it up where i live so dont know if this kernel causes any wifi issues as i dont care.

Try experimenting just like i did and you will be surprised on what you can achieve ;) (but make sure you do a nandroid backup 1st) instead of saying this rom is eating my battery, and please "bare in mind" battery usage depends on what you have on your screen (widgets), what (apps) you have open, (data) connection left on, (wifi), (gps) etc etc so take all this into account before posting your problems :)

cheers
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
Try using using 2g–3g app to switch btw 2g and 3g. 2g is enough for email n switch to 3g when you need to browse.

@ihlades

You are alive ? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yes, but my existence is puny: Getting dirty, squashing bugs.

What do you say about working Skype guys?
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
Oh ! Dont come to close to me! :eek:

(against Bugs: try to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07I_KER5fE )

Me nothing about Skype but all the Media Player (Rockplayer and others) have problems zu play.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
RockPlayer 1.5.2 works fine here, don't know what to say. You know, developers had to update their video players to work on Gingerbread... Oh, and btw, thanks for the trailer. Maybe I'll learn how to better deal with these bugs after watching the movie.

P.S.: Browser user agent? Done...
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
Battery usage here is fine.
[Desire Android Development] nenominal:
I'll be happy to help you over YM or smth. I hate skype :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Nooo, that was just my ambigous way to say: Skype is working in RC2!
[Desire Android Development] nenominal:
Lol I say :))
[Desire Android Development] magic_moe_:
hm, stock Browser works fine...but I tried Dolphin HD and Mini today, and after those 2 wrote something into cache they stopped working...had to manually delete cache...is that because of Gingerbread, or have you found something in the Browser User Agent? and have already squished the Bug?^^
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
My alarms aren't working?

It's working now
[Desire Android Development] cCeT:
could you tell me please why my some apps started not to work? it was just one app first, now has been 3. im uninstalling them and installing again, changing the memory where they are installed to or searching with root explorer to clean dump files but nothing changes.besides i tried to check memory card on my pc if there was a problem with it.. nothing. fully wiped the phone and installed 2 times this rom but same :(
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
What's the change log in RC 2?
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
2 apps disappeared from my apps list. :O .. Market claimed they weren't installed but I never removed them. Plus today I've had xda fc twice while pressing the Home button.
[Desire Android Development] cr1960:
mmmmm, RC2 'eh. looking forward to its release.
[Desire Android Development] nenominal:
It's already ported, check Ginger Villain rom. I guess it's ported on CM7 as well.
[Desire Android Development] WindBurner:
Same here. ROM's great but I think I'm going to try switching to a different ROM for a while. It's been a while since I've flashed a new ROM. Looking forward for the new update. :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'm looking forward to working out how to update it myself. Got close, but SD and wifi didnt work properly :(
[Desire Android Development] mouth:
Which ROM are you both going with?
[Desire Android Development] oudbrood:
I'm also a big fan of redux and waiting for a new update. Temporly I'm now on oxygen 2.1.4.

When redux has a update, I'm come back. I look every day on his site with the hope there is a new test build
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
For wifi- try rebuilding driver module using kernel sources you currently use if this is not done during kernel compilation ("make prepare" in kernel dir then "make" in module dir)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thanks ill try.

The WiFi turns on etc just sticks at obtaining ip address. As for sd, its a mount issue. It's just not recognized
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I've faced this issue before. Module was built for different kernel or you have to update it's sources
[Desire Android Development] WindBurner:
I'm eyeing on Oxygen and GingerVillain. Hopefully, if Redux has a new update I'll switch right away cause this really is a good ROM to keep. :)
[Desire Android Development] adz63:
Back to redux. I come. No other rom like it
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
a huuuuuge "AGREE" with you. enough for education :D
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Hey ,

Why would you move to oxygen ?

do not think its as stable as redux.

So what are the extra things that make you move away from redux ?

I for once have found the amazing battery life and stability to my taste.
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
I have been using Locus GPS application today and every time I set GPS polling to 1 second the device restarted after a while. I mean sometimes it works for an hour, sometimes it restarts after 10 minutes.

All on stock Redux 1.2 kernel, in battery saver mode. Can you help me diagnose why did my device produce so many restarts? I never had any before, except when I was using battery optimised kernels.
[Desire Android Development] mondilv:
Which size of your /cache partition?
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
Its Oxygen hboot. Maybe a bit too small?

Also, my SD card is FAT32 only.
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
must be to do with that

I use my gps everyday on Allsport GPS and co pilot with no issues. 1.2 Rom, ManU Kernel and latest radio. Stock Boot with A2SD
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well if we know what directory in cache locus uses, we can amend the 06mountdl script to bind to /data/ too.
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
I keep having issues with gps on this Rom and cm 7.0.3

They both use the 2.6.37.4 kernel as their stock ones. The GPS icon will pop up in the notification bar for a few seconds and then disappear and until I reboot the phone, it will continue doing it. The only way to get it fixed is to do a complete reboot. It works for a while and then goes wonky again.

I've tried flashing Eviolet's manu svs kernel and the problem goes away somewhat, it still happens every now then. I've also tried using the 2.6.35 redux old kernel and the CM 2.6.35 kernel in addition to Benee's kernel and they all improve it but don't completely fix.it.

Any help will be appreciated. :)
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
Is there any way to find out this? I have looked at the /cache folder using ES file manager, while Locus was saving tracks in the background and /cache was empty. Does it mean that no program is using /cache, or just that the files are not visible somehow?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I'll be honest, I don't use GPS apps like this but I was surprised that it was suggested that /cache is used for this rather than SD card, but I can't guarantee.

What are you using to look in cache? Root explorer? Terminal emulator?
[Desire Android Development] bobyracer2:
Great work man, I don't have an desire to test your Rom but I appreciate you very much ....

P.s. tine-o tot asa!
[Desire Android Development] zsero:
I tried a new version of that program and it seems to work now! I have left it powered on while saving trackpoints every second and it still worked after half a day. It was super slow and it used a crazy amount of memory, but it worked. So it might be something in battery mode, or possibly the new version of Locus has fixed it.
[Desire Android Development] roton:
I just updated to 1.2 themed after using a very old version of Redux (LV) and so far seems great. I much prefer this themed version but is there any way of changing the lime colour in text messages? It's a little too much when used as a background for text but everywhere else it's fine.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You could take the messaging.apk out of the non-themed and replace perhaps?
[Desire Android Development] roton:
Is that the mms.apk? since there is no messaging.apk.

edit: Flashed using other mms.apk without verification and it works. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes sorry

@ihladesLast exam on 19th of July. Work on Redux v2 has begun, but we're only talking about the early design stage so I won't commit to a timeframe.

@ihladesIs there anything you'd like to see in Redux v2? Reply to this tweet. Keywords to keep in mind: Simple, fresh, lightweight.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Cool

[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
Finally :D

Well i haven't been such excited during my finals. Let's pray for ihlades :) and for next version of redux
[Desire Android Development] ooie:
I am hoping for Theme Chooser support but since I'm not a dev, I don't know what he has to add to make it work. If it causes bloat, then no thanks.

I don't really know if anything else has to be added to be honest.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
A lot of frameworks changes to cm frameworks. Not worth it because its very buggy imo
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
1. I would add lockscreen options like CM7

2. Screen brightness adjustments by sliding the notification bar

3. Add in Gtalk with voice/video chat
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
new style lockscreen (especially like miui roms lockscreen) can be good :) if possible
[Desire Android Development] lagu805:
i believe u can use widgetlocker for that? :)
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
this is also nice but check xj's miui lockscreens, they're pretty cool. i wish we have such lockscreens for next redux version
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yes the miui lockscreens are nice. Not sure if Miui is open source though. Even if it is, pretty big changes required probably.
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
I guess ihlades can handle with this :) anyway lets wait three weeks more :(
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
CM framework is quite universal- supports almost all hardware that possibly can be in the phone. Since this code is in the framework -in every build for every phone- it is executed, eg. lights service sends "lights out" to everything that possibly can give light- keys, qwerty keyboard, trackball etc even if hardware is not present in the phone.

Shortly- there is a lot of not needed code inside CM frameworks which a)slows down the system b)sometimes can produce bugs
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
Maybe the MIUI-Style notifications-menu could be integrated?

this one where the notifications are splitted into two sections, the notifications and the quick setting. but not the list, i really like the settings menu with a kind of buttons, i guess 3 rows and 4 columns.
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
The main reason I like redux is that its minimalistic, clean and stable.

I can add whatever I like later on. Adding all those fancy things will only make it unstable or consume more battery.

If you like Sense or MIUI styles, why not install them ? There are plenty of roms just for that.
[Desire Android Development] ayk33:
You may be right but redux is incredibly stable and battery friend and if you read few posts back, you can read that ihlades asked about new ideas. If these are not possible or make rom unstable, be sure ihlades won't add them
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Started getting random reboots when downloading/installing apps.

Wiped and reflashed, still happens every so often. Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Did you try clearing Cache ?
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Yeah cleared/wiped everything dude.
[Desire Android Development] Stereohype:
reformat your sd card in recovery and make sure its partitioned right, i had the same issue before when putting in a new sd card.
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
cheers bro will try that
[Desire Android Development] dannylill1981:
Just installed this, coming from oxygen this rom is brilliant, and with manu kernel, very battery efficient.
[Desire Android Development] dj-darkside:
After 3 months i have many problems

first. By 15% battery the Phone turn off

second. After many time, the phone was laggy, a reboot solved this.

last. with many third party keyboards do not write after a few days

BUT:

(I hasn´t wipe since 1.0.0)
[Desire Android Development] aeggedeler:
Battery is fixed by turning off your phone, charging it fully, booting into recovery and wiping batterystats. The other bugs could be related to the not wiping-part.
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Youve answered your own problems there.

The keyboard thing happened with me several times with stock android keyboard. Just got into running apps and kill it, then it should be ok.

Phone can get laggy if you havent rebooted for a while
[Desire Android Development] deleric:
desire problem..

Ih everyone!

I've a big problem whit my Desire (redux 1.2).

I was playing at Stair Dismount yesterday and suddenly my Desire crashed.

I waited a bit and when nothing appened I taked the battery out and i tired to reboot my device..

But since then I can't turn it on.. the only things that seems to work is the charging.. When I plug my desire the led orange/green work...

any ideas?:confused:

thanks
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Hey bootloader isn't accesible too?press Vol down+power button.

Custom light settings would be awesome to have in the new rom!

Also keeping battery as great as now!

Thx for your efforts ihlades!

Could anyone talk me through or offer some help with me getting the CM7 DSP Manager App onto my phone, using Redux 1.2?

Going abroad tomorrow, so in need of any urgent help as hoping to listen to lots of music, and would love the DSP app. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
is just installing the *.apk from this thread

[Desire Android Development] williamj1:
I was under the impression I needed to change .lib files etc. I tried before, failed miserably and got a bootloop.

I see now they have updated it just a few days ago with a simple apk. I'll give it a go, thanks :)

While you are here, do you know if its possible to add the CM7 modified version of the stock android gingerbread music player to redux?
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
Oh sorry, i dont know that. concerning the dsp-package, I've tried it few seconds ago and have to say, seems to work well. hope thats what you need =)

redux v2 is gonna be awesome! thanks ihlades.

only couple of improvements i'd like to see:

- decent auto brightness setting/manager.

- camera has fc'd on me quite a lot recently.

latest version of go launcher ex (2.35) is awesome, i recommend everyone to save the apk for future use.

ihlades, can you build a front facing camera into our desires please? :)
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
font size

Hi All,

I tried many Roms but Redux is the best in any aspect.

I have a question about the font size used in Redux themed version that Is it possible to change the font or font size ? And if yes then How ?

iHlades thank you for this wonderful rom. I just love it. Never tried any other rom and probably never will, it's just too good.

It would be nice to know if could something be done with iGO. Touch response is slow but navigation works well.

My MMS is still not working Mobile internet is working ok, in an attempt to get MMS working i changed my Mobile internet APN settings and MMS settings to see if that would help. it didn't :confused::mad:

I have checked my APN settings with my carrier (Orange UK) and they are all correct, reset them with the guy on the phone and rebooted, still nothing.

to clarify, Mobile internet works, MMS doesn't.

i'm very confused.

Any ideas?

Do you use titanium? If so locate sms /mms prefs in titanium and wipe them. See if that helps

Hey everyone

Was using Redux for the longest Ive ever used any Rom and loved it

Just recently (because Im never happy! ) I tried MIUI with Go Launcher cos it is WAY to iphone like otherwise

I have to say I really like a lot of the features MIUI has such as ..

FTP file transfer

5 point lockscreen

Screen grab (by pressing down vol + menu)

Multi toggles on pull down notification bar

If any of these could be included in the next Redux I would gladly flash it again

Then again I know you want to keep things simple !

Thanks for a great Rom :)
[Desire Android Development] lagu805:
What is 5 point lockscreen?

For screenshot, u can use application shootme from the market..

Also, for toggle notif bar, do u mean notif power widget? Its already there in the ROM

I have to say miui is a nice rom as well :D
[Desire Android Development] oudbrood:
Oxygen 2.1.6 has a nice feature. When you choose the power button, you get the option to make a screenshot without a app from the market.
[Desire Android Development] naf007:
Hi lagu805

Yea I guess I could use the shoot me app for screen captures

This is the five point lockscreen ..

[/url]

[/url]

This is what I meant by the notification toggles tab

[/url]

Thanks for that info oudbrood

Oxygen was the first rom I flashed after I rooted my phone :)
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
actualy that is cm feature
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
Wow that 5 point lock screen is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it... notification toggles i am not so keen on, I only use 5 that fit naturally already...
[Desire Android Development] naf007:
Yea its pretty cool :)

There's a ten point one too but I thought it was too cluttered for my liking

[Desire Android Development] geemacd:
I have been having with what I thought was a dodgy sd card, then potentially a combination of having Redux + a different camera + a different kernal on board that was causing issues with image files.

Today I have completely started from scratch, formatted the new sd card & reflashed Redux, reinstalled my apps but done nothing else (no alternative kernal or alternative camera) and everything looked okay until ....

Took a couple of pictures and plugged phone into laptop and pictures were there, did this a couple of times and all was good, until .....

I deleted one of the pictures through the pc and took some more photo's, now none of the new ones will show up via the pc but I can see them through the phone gallery ....

I can also see the deleted picture's thumbnail within the thumbnail gallery that I am guessing is created when you look into the gallery via the phone. Reboot the phone and I can now see them through the pc

Taking pics with the phone is a major for me and its making me think I may have to use a different ROM.

SuRoot and a few others have been helping on this on another forum and I thank them for that and their ongoing help, totally invaluable ........ has anyone else got this issue or seen anything like it it ?
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Battery usage

I'm using Redux 1.2 "since always" (since the day I bought Desire). Almost everything works perfect- I'm worried about power usage for 3g/2g connections.

Currently I have 5.11.05.14 radio flashed but I've tested also older and newer ones.

According to CurrentWidget during downloads (Market mostly, big files- ~15-20 MB) using 3g/HSDPA connection phone draws 280-400 mA but over 2g/edge -even up to 700 mA. 2g/edge is supposed to be more battery friendly but it seems that it isn't in my case, CurrentWidget seems to be reliable judging by battery % drops

My question is:

-is this power usage normal?

-which radio do you recommend or should I change both radio and RIL?
[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
Is this using the stock gallery app? Cos I've found it to be unreliable and unwilling to update many a time. I ditched it a long time ago for quickpic (free from the market) and I'd never go back to the stock app.

If you're still using stock, get quickpic instead and you'll be sound :-)
