[Desire Android Development] sterankin:
I have been using Redux for a few days and I think its great, very fast.

A couple of minor niggles I am hoping someone can help me out with (or perhaps they can be fixed in a new version).

1. The screen locks instantly when the screen turns off. I use a visible pattern to unlock so this can be a bit annoying when, say the screen turns off and I have to enter the pattern each time.

I'm pretty sure there is an option on other ROMS to set the screen lock time, and then just double tap the optical button to unlock the phone.

This would mean that if you were writing a text message say, and you got distracted (such that the screen tuns off) - you can just double tap the optical key without having to unlock the phone.

2. [EDIT: The following is no longer an issue as I was able to link my Facebook birthdays to my google account but I'm keeping it here just in case] The calendar doesn't seem to be adding my Facebook birthdays etc. On the other sense ROMS I used, the calendar was able include birthdays (from FB) - this was pretty good as I had the small calendar widget on my screen and was a good reminder. Is there a way to get this to work (the only account the stock calendar is linked to is google).

I did try other calendar widgets from the market but the same thing happened. They just seemed to link to the stock one.

3. [EDIT After reading through about 100 pages of posts it seems this 'banding' is common to Redux but not other ROMs like Oxygen] I'm getting a weird effect when scrolling to the end or top of a page. Yes I know the colour thing is a new effect in Gingerbread, I'm not talking about that. Its just below that coloured part. When I hit the end of a page, or course I get the new coloured effect - but I'm getting a weird effect too which doesnt look normal, almost like horizontal lines across the screen.

I have added a screenshot to help show this (its harder to see on the screenshot but worse on the phone - I don't think its a screen issue I never noticed it in any other gb rom but I could be wrong). Not sure if everyone is getting this?

Any insight would be great into any of these issues!
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
so i finally get it workin, my transparent status bar, took me some time...

change the 9.png in the systemui.apk with draw9patch in the sdk.

but like you see on the screens i have a little shadow under the statusbar, between the statusbar and the homescreen.

and when i pull down the notification bar (same in the drawer), it is transparent too, so i have to change the size from that image, liable for the n-bar...

but i think i switch back to the normal black one and hide it with lpp, like i did before.

any ideas for the shadow problem??
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I think it looks nice personally. Just a bit of distinction. No idea where that shadow effect is.
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
Looks really nice
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
I have Redux reinstall and the fix too and i have the same Problem. :mad:
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
i'm using rockplayer 1.5.5 works fine
[Desire Android Development] borth87:
thanks for ur infos, but with the standart setup they battery usage in Standby mode is very high. Wlan, gps etc are disabled i only activate wlan when i need it. I check only sms and write some, surfed for few min. with w-lan or something else. Nothing hardware expensive things and after a day i only got 20-30% of battery...
[Desire Android Development] idcoolrocker:
I really like this rom, well done.

Just wanna see if this has been asked before...

Has anyone else got a delay when answering a call?

As it takes a few seconds for the person to hear me when I answer.

This problem is also present with the oxygen rom.

cheers
[Desire Android Development] nenominal:
Yes I have! And it's very frustrating! :)
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
This issue affects all Gingerbread ROMs out there, so we'll have to wait for a general fix (hopefully when Nexus S dump will be available).
[Desire Android Development] kartoffel1212:
Thx, i can confirm NOW 1.5.5 run!

1.6x not !
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
Well I would like it on this rom :-D
[Desire Android Development] magic_moe_:
I want ICQ to work :D

please?^^
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
yes am experiencing the issue with redux, I have used oxygen and didnt experience that.
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
I'm having a BIG issue with the apps: today few apps disappeared.

Using Apps Organizer I found the applications lost ino the phone. Trying to use a lost application the phone went in error.

I switched to LauncherPro ... and I think that LaunchePro will be my default launcher.

All the apps reappered from the space of my sd. In any case a strange bahviour.

After a deep check, I discovered that some application are really disppeared.. :-(

Checking into the market I found an app ... "freezed" (??). I cannot start it, but only remove it: I'm starting to use Titanium backup on daily basis .... :)
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
Is go launcher laggy for anyone?
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
When using launcher pro, in the programs list, if I rotate my phone left or right then back to normal the screen is garbled. Pressing back fixes it but takes me back to tje home screen. Does anybody else get this problem too?
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
In the next version can you add cyongen settings?
[Desire Android Development] idcoolrocker:
yeah I have the same issue
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
yeah happens here too... but i can just wipe down and then the apps appear again :) so no need to press back button!
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
No, Launcher Pro behaves when I rotate the screen and back again.
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
Thanks for the tip ;)

I've resorted to disabling auto rotation inside launcher pro's settings but decided on leaving the default rotation on. Which lets my programs still rotate if needed, such as YouTube and the Browser, but does disable the homescreen and programs list rotation.
[Desire Android Development] aasami:
The best Ginger ROM I've tested so far

I have tested this ROM for couple of days now, and I can say this is the best out there.

Don't know what you're talking about. FM radio works out of the box for me (v1.0.0-RC1). Just Bluetooth has to be turned on while listening. I don't know why, but the radio application enables it by itself on start, so i don't see a problem here.

And the pull down bar can be customized as well in Settings > Display > Widget buttons

you can choose between 20 different options there.

As I said. The best of all! :)

I strongly encourage you to try. (and use:)
[Desire Android Development] fluidz:
I agree, overall its a great rom, so try not to be put off by the odd glitch - its still early days yet. Despite, It feels much better than 2.2 in every way Froyo wishes it could be. A smoother experience and richer content and plus Its stable enough to use day in day out.

Hoping Rc2 is on the agenda?
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
I have redux themed version. And i have a problem. When i using internet and listening music at one time ,90%-100% battery goes away after 1h30mins. Is this normal?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Browsing the internet with the screen on can certainly eat your battery but if you were watching media, your battery should last 4-5 hours on a stock desire with a reasonable level of brightness
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
I'm having a weird bug (I think).

I'm almost using shortcut on the desktop to call people so I didn't realise this before :D :

When I use the "Phone" app in the app drawler, it takes me to the contact tab of the dialer. Not to the phone tab.

Same thing when I clic the phone icon on Zeam's dock.

Also the same issue with the stock launcher.

It's working fine with launcher Pro though :confused:

Am I the only one ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
This is not an issue, imho. I think it should be like this.

Sent from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Well not really, I have another dock icon to go to the contacts ...

I would at least like to have the choice :)
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Weird stuff yesterday :

I made a nandroid backup.

I wipped all.

I flashed Oxygen 2.1.6 to test, phone app was working fine.

I wipped all again and restore my nandroid backup (cause the white sms app, the camera app, the non-fluid rom, etc .. sucked on oxygen :p)

The phone app was working fine ! direct to the numeric dialer !

But this morning, it's not working anymore : phone app takes me to the contacts :(

I'll ask a co worker here, he has the same rom.
[Desire Android Development] ShirazSuleman:
That is normal for AOSP Roms. It is because you used the contacts tab to make your last call. If you use the dialer to make a call, then when you open the "Phone" app after, the dialer will appear.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
woah.

exactly ! thanks a lot :D

I never noticed this before !
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The CM dialer lets you specify a "default tab", so you can override this if you want. However, that dialer doesn't work with Redux.

I mostly call the same people, so to save me time I have it set to take me to the call log anyway!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I did request the CM dialer from Ihlades but he said that it most likely wouldnt make it into the next version.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
anyway, I can't wait for the next update from Ihlades :D

this rom is the fastest and fits every needs I have about my phone :o

(this is quite contradictory lol)
[Desire Android Development] MightyBen:
Bug fixes

First of all I want to thank you ihlades for the best desire rom!

I am very glad that you resume your work on redux.

If possible I would like to see some bugs fixed:

The compass seems to be a bit off within Google Maps. Afaik snq fixed this bug by deleting HOFFSET*.z values in /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt

I also have a problem with streaming video. If I watch a video with youtube or just any other streaming app (except the flash plugin) the video will stop at aproximately three-fourths of the playtime if it is longer than 4 minutes. I can then restart the video and fast forward to the last seen position and the video will continue. A similar bug was fixed by baadnews. I know both of the fixes are within sense roms, but maybe the fixes apply for aosp, too.

The Sound recorder is installed but doesn't work. Yes, and I miss it - at least sometimes :D

And one thing, I have read that the guys over at the sense department got a new driver for the graphics chip which is a bit faster. Is something like that even possible within aosp?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I have updated drivers from the leaked Sense rom. See the link in my sig. It also includes a RIL which doesn't work for most people so if it doesnt (network connectivity) flash an older RIL.

You can get RIL's from my toolbox thread here:

[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Incase anybody else has the problem Ive had with the camera app not responding, the solution is to go into your dcim folder and delete .thumbnail

sorted
[Desire Android Development] yabadabadooo:
whats the difference between themed an normal?

neeed green icons on the pulldown bar on which ver i get them?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Well the standard one comes with the standard green icons.

The themed one is green themed but I have never seen it.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The notification power widget is the same in both versions.

Main differences are in glow colour (green in themed, as I remember) and status bar icons (signal, battery, etc).
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
I have this problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687011

in Redux 1.2, it doesn't show up an image for myself for messaging... How to fix it? Tried everything from the thread...:(
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Just create a contact for your own phone number and link a pic to it.
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Lol thats the obvious way to go and it simply doesn't work. That's why I read the thread, but nothing of it works :(
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
works for me mate :S dunno why it doesnt for you
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You need to ensure your number is written to your SIM for this to work. Redux does not have this setting.

Flash CM7 temporarily.

Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My phone number

Then flash back. Then do what is stated earlier and it should all work.
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Oh yeah I see, I already saw this information under telefon-information, that my number was 'unknown'. Okay, even if flashing CM7 temporarly is a bit of work, I'll try it now ;)

Edit: Finally it worked...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Glad it works.
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
ok i tried it too but it don't work...

running redux on my desire but i make my own contact named it right with my with name but what number you are using?

international code = +49 and my number, right??

thanks for your answers.
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
i get it workin'...

read THIS and follow the instructions.
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
I really love Redux but for me, the speakers have much too low volume, it's really really bad. I did already a factory reset and reinstall etc, it somehow also got better, but still not really really good. I now moved to oxygen, where the speakers are really noticeable louder.... I would love to stick with redux because somehow I feel it's faster and smoother than oxygen, but please fix this thing about the audio, otherwise I have no option other than using oxygen
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
use "volume" from the market, solved it for me...

;)
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
do you mean volume+? already tried it but didn't work... further it's paid :( oxygen is louder without doing anything. that confuses me...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Really? Works great for me. Adds 2 extra notches of volume to my device. Also its free on their site. You may have to reboot once installing and configuring it to ensure all music player services start after the change has been made.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Cool. Good to know theres an app for that!
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Okay thanks I'll try with a reboot now!
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Okay thanks I'll try with a reboot now! Edit: Didn't change anything Oo tried +4 for speakers

yeah true, so no temporarly flashing of CM anymore :) yey :D
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
Have to say, even with Volume + installed and working, Oxygen is louder..... Way louder.

It's the only thing that keeps me using it to be honest, as I much prefer Redux.

Really hope v2 has the volume mod included and I'll be back in a flash :-)
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
True... Which mod is it? Perhaps it's easy to port to redux!? I love redux too <3 but will stay with oxygen as long as it's so nicely loud!
[Desire Android Development] ak29:
Silent volume step option not working

Anyone else having this issue where the silent volume step option is not working. I am able to enable it in the sound settings menu but once I exit settings it un checks the box and disables the feature. I have version 1.2 themed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Doesn't need to be.louder for me as I use power amp and have a wicked pair of sennheisers
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
I could not install My Phone Number application. In the status bar, I get the message The application could not be installed in its default location. But does it really write in the SIM the number? I have read reports of people saying the number is lost after a reboot.
[Desire Android Development] Chugfrenzy:
The headphone level is perfect thru my AKGs, Senheisers and Ultimate Ears :-)

And the DACs on the Desire are actually surprisingly really good, making Flac streaming well worth the extra bandwidth!

It's just the speaker Ringtone / Notification level that's really low in Redux :-(

Really not sure what the volume mod included in Oxygen is yet.... I'll research it when I finish work!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Oh I see. My phones mostly on silent so haven't noticed that tbh. Thanks for the info.
[Desire Android Development] Lacrein:
dear sir,

is there any other rom download links? I can't download it. maybe our chinese national firewall block it.
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
no, reboot several times and it still appears under settings/phone/status.

and i reinstalled it too...

and i don't have to make a "me" contact, the phone just recognize my number and that's it, just have to set a picture for my contact (with full first and last name, 2 mobil numbers, 3 mail accounts and my adress)

:D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
That IS making a "me" contact ;)
[Desire Android Development] johns1982:
I'm using this rom but can't down load from the web?
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
hmm, seems that i lost my brain last night while i'm drunk...:rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
Will Redux be getting the new Android Market automatically? I've yet to see the update and it's not searchable on the Market site.

I know I could just get the apk and do it manually, but still :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Any rom with MarketUpdater.apk will get it when it gets it.
[Desire Android Development] johns1982:
Hi guys checked and miui compass works with this rom

Swyped from HTC desire
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Do you think the rom author will read here and perhaps reply about the loudness problem? (and that oxygen actually IS much louder)
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
I guess it. Furthermore, you can twitter.this issue to him. The dev asked the users to tell him what they want to see in redux v2.0.

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
Heard that Redux 2.0 is coming, thought I'd post a list of issues I've had with Redux 1.2 since I started using it last month:

#1: Wi-Fi sometimes takes 1 to 2 minutes to obtain an IP address if Wi-Fi has been disabled for a long period of time, i.e. overnight.

#2: Going into Wi-Fi Settings and clicking on Menu > Advanced has a long pause (20-30 seconds?) before the Advanced screen appears.

#3: Keypresses do not always appear in an input box in any app or the browser's address bar when typing, even when the keyboard is giving haptic feedback and flashing letters I've pressed. Can't reproduce this, but closing and re-opening the keyboard seems to fix this. Also worth noting that the letters are there, despite the input box being empty, they're just invisible.

#4: The L key area seems to partially go over the backspace key, half the time I'm spamming L's when I wanted to backspace. I'm guessing this is just a Gingerbread issue rather than Redux's though?

#5: I have had on one occasion when the screen would not always respond to any presses whatsoever, so I was stuck on the lock screen and found it difficult to get it to reboot from holding the power button. I succeeded after a few tries though after some random screen-pressing because one of the screens (reboot/recovery/bootloader) wouldn't show. I did two things since that issue; disabled my PIN protected lock screen and disabled Screenstate scaling in the CPU settings. I've not had this issue again for the last two weeks so one of the two changes must have fixed it or I'm just lucky not to encounter it again.

On CM7, issue #5 was almost a daily occurrence I had to reboot every day, never found out why it was happening so I decided to try a different ROM, and ended up here :)

Suggestions for Redux 2.0:

I'd get rid of that green banding that happens when you scroll and reach the end of the page at either the top/bottom. It looks like someone's squeezed the sides of a laptop's screen, if you know what I mean :)

Does flat messaging view for the stock SMS app exist? I wasn't sure if you stripped that out of the stock SMS app as CM7's stock SMS app had an option to use either bubble or flat view, as well as being able to customize the background colour of the messages, currently it's a bright green and I'd like to change this.

Thanks for reading, obviously I couldn't send all this to you on Twitter Ihlades, due to the 140 char limit :)

edit: Should have added, I'm using Redux 1.2 Themed, and no custom kernels. Dalvik2ext was only just added a few days ago.
[Desire Android Development] dj-darkside:
For Redux v.2.0 please Android 2.3.5
[Desire Android Development] MarcusBremen:
2.3.5 is only confirmed and scheduled for the sgs II, but ilhades has got an virgin 2.3.4 for the work on redux 2.0

but time will tell... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The last few CM nightlies have been 2.3.5.

Not sure it makes much difference with the Desire though.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yep. I'm playing with 2.3.5 source code too.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
One suggestion for v2 would be the ability to take screenshots from the power menu, like in the latest version of Oxygen.

And another one would be to smooth out the overscrolling effect, so that it doesn't look like some crappy 8-bit GIF or something ;)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Actually the one that would make a difference to me is the ability to go to a setting menu by long-pressing the corresponding notification power widget toggle (e.g. touch the WiFi icon to turn on/off, long press to go to WiFi settings menu). Many other ROMs have this - CM7 and derivatives, Oxygen, Miui - and I miss it when I use Redux.
[Desire Android Development] cyb3rt:
Hi guys, firstly my apologies if this has been answered, I did search but I might not have used the correct wording...

I flashed Redux 1.2 yesterday and it really an exceptional ROM and I would love to stay on this!! My only problem is that I can not pick up my wireless network at home at all... I can connect to the work wireless at the office so its nothing wrong with my phone, and my router at home is working correctly as well because I can connect to the wireless with my dad's Desire, as well as my laptop... So I have not idea why I can just not see the network on my phone after flashing Redux, any ideas?

Im running Redux 1.2 themed, with radio 32.56.00.32H_5.17.05.08. I had the latest radio on but thought it would help to flash the older one. And Im on the 2.6.35.13 ManU-Version 2.0 Gingerbread-HAVS-AXI-CFS kernel, no S-OFF...

I need the wireless to work because its eating up my cash on the phone very quickly on mobile internet...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Did you start fresh or restore stuff with titanium? Does it work after a wipe?
[Desire Android Development] cyb3rt:
I did a clean wipe of everything, even reformatted the SD card. Applications were installed fresh, no backups restored.

I did not try wiping again, took a while to setup everything again so I would not like to do it again if there's another solution..

EDIT: I could not wait so I flashed Ginger Villian and its still not showing the network on my phone... Could it be the radio or kernel or something...?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Could be radio
[Desire Android Development] ooie:
I'd like the MIUI lockscreen flashlight shortcut to be implemented in Redux. (holding the home button on the lockscreen)
