I found a problem related to the usage of the usb connection. When I umount the disk from my laptop every time I'm loosing one or more apps, but I can restore them with Titanium Backup.

Does someone got the same issue ?
[Desire Android Development] Hafficci:
Sorry, but everything works fine here with the data connection. Are you using RC4?? I hardly remember that this issue sprout up with RC1, but it's not for sure... :confused: Anyway, It was fixed, and nobody noticed about it again till now.

In order to start from the beggining: did you make full wipes before flashing the rom?? Do you have an ext partition at the SD card?? Have you manually moved apps from internal memory to SD card??
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
ext4 partitions supported for apps? any suggestion about size? atm im formatting with 1,2gb ext4... in a 8gb sd...
[Desire Android Development] Hafficci:
I think so (ext 2,3,4 are OK).

About size, seeing that ext storing usage is really low, I think that 1,2Gb is too much (my opinion). Between 512-1024Mb should be more than enough!! :)

I've got a 1024Mb ext3 in a 16Gb SD card, and if you check above, more than 800Mb are free... :rolleyes:

Bye!!
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
after reinstalling all my apps (from market), i notice Internal storage: 34mb free (with N1 table)... so it isn't working as it should? what if i manually move all the apps to sd? they go to ext partition?

btw i come from oxygen, did a full wipe, made the ext4 partition and then flashed rom.. apps installed one by one from market...
[Desire Android Development] GuestK00150:
the alarm klock app app from the market is forcing closes all the time. tried different kernels and problem persists. hope this can be fixed soon, cause it is the best alarm clock and I need it to get up in the morning ;) the fc happens between the second and the fifth time pressing snooze in airplane mode with screen off. thanks
[Desire Android Development] TurboBG:
Does the camcorder works and records 720p in this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yes, the camcorder works but there's no 720p for the moment.
[Desire Android Development] jeffreyljb:
When can we flash rc5?hope reboots can be fixed after rc5.Great ROM anyway,keep up works on ReDux.......
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I think it depends on which ROM you had before, so maybe a sense-rom isn't sms compatible... try to use the app sms backup insteed. worked for me...

same here

CAMERA

Camera is working or not ,have you made this with htc sense?
[Desire Android Development] BinabiQ:
The rom is working very well for me, I just have one problem with the powerbar. You can only toggle the mobile data off, when trying to turn it on again it fails and you have to enable it manually through settings.
[Desire Android Development] MYAbln:
very smothhh scrolling...very nice rom...i like it!
[Desire Android Development] MYAbln:
camera works but the videocam is not working. this rom is without htc sense...htc sense sucks..it makes the rom slower... =)

[Desire Android Development] tzutzu78:
nice work with this ROM, unfortunately had some probs so reverted to 2.2.1 - phone rebooted itself from time to time, found it requesting PIN every now and then.

will check again when new build available

10x for your good work!
[Desire Android Development] popoffka:
Hi,

I'm using another ROM (Oxygen 2.0 RC6) and I'd like to know whether it's possible to install the "Lockscreen music controls" mod on a ROM other that Redux?
[Desire Android Development] joshua1982:
Hi, great ROM, the fastest and smoothes so far. Great work - thanks. So far great experience except no support for live wallpapers (no big deal) and there is no fm radio apk. Could someone suggest a working apk for the radio.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
FM Radio is not working. For now.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
As previously adviced, use "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Log Backup & Restore" from Market (free), setup a schedule and you're set. ;-)
[Desire Android Development] ng2mat:
best room ever, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
After a few days of intense use I can report my impressions: this ROM is very good, smooth and responsive, although the sudden semi-reboots issue needs to be fixed. It occurs on a random basis, regardless the kernel in use, mostly when dealing with rotation sensor (i.e. rotated web pages).

I managed to capture a live logcat of the event, and the reboot is triggered by the following exception:

E/AndroidRuntime( 7766): *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: WindowManagerPolicy
E/AndroidRuntime( 7766): java.lang.NullPointerException

Hope this will be helpful.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
This does not seem to be a problem with the rotation sensor, but with the lockscreen. Thank you @ngel, will look into it.

BTW, beta 2 is in the works - Not so many changes, but bugs are being ironed out. Time is not on my side right now, so please do not ask for ETAs, it will release in a few days most probably.

Changes include killing app by long-pressing the back key and FM Radio support. The kernel is also updated to vorkKernel 2.6.35.10 SVS-BFS version. Is there any interest in screenstate scaling (lower frequencies when screen is off)?
[Desire Android Development] @ngel:
What I was saying is that I never saw a reboot while the phone was on portrait. Maybe just a coincidence, however.

Good news. :)

I currently have SetCPU with profiles, one of them is just the "screen off" CPU underclock. I think it's a huge help when dealing with battery lasting, so I vote for YES.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
A fix is on the way already, your previous post was truly useful. By the way, check your PM inbox. ;)
[Desire Android Development] strandoe:
Please don't add screenstate scaling. One of the things I appreciate with this great ROM is the simplicity and the fact that people can add what they want themselves. Further, I fear adding scaling will lead to unresponsive screen wake-up - a problem I have had on nearly all ROM's.

A fix for the strange graphics in the stock Calendar would be greatly appreciated though :)

I had issues with the GPS loosing connection after a few seconds with the newest radio (14), so I recommend the 11 instead (newest on the adamg radio thread). Also flashed RIL for 11. Just a tip.

Sometimes (maybe every other reboot) the SD-card fails to be recognized by the phone. This has been a known issue in oxygen and is now fixed there.

Anyhow, thanks alot for this great ROM! I came from oxygen and have never looked back really. This one is a lot smoother at least until the nexus/n1 OTA comes.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Hi strandoe, thanks for the feedback. Beta 2 is in the testing phase right now, and it includes screenstate scaling. However, this is the only thing I haven't decided upon yet. About the SD Card bug: Sorry, haven't seen anything like that on my phone.

Now... this is what you can expect from beta 2, hope you like the changelog: ;)

Optical Joystic wake;

FM Radio support;

Updated kernel;

Possibility to kill foreground app by long-pressing the back key;

Restructured the settings, there is now a "Redux settings" menu;

Fixed sudden reboot problem (needs more testing to be sure);

No more graphical bugs;

Squashed crash in notification power widget sound settings;

Plus, as I said, I'm considering including screenstate scaling. In my experience so far, it works as it should - It saves battery life. I haven't seen one unresponsive screen wake-up in beta 2 (well, except those immediately after installing), maybe 'cause we're using the interactive governor? I'd like more feedback on this however guys.
[Desire Android Development] strandoe:
Great changelog!

The two issues from oxygen that I think is in your ROM as well:

From the oxygen issue tracker: 452 (SD-card) and 240 (delay after answer call).

I guess it will be possible to remove screenstate scaling by reflashing a kernel? Just like I flashed the newest vorkKernel a couple of days ago.

Keep up the good work! :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Soon. Reboots will most likely be fixed (I said so because I don't know what causes yours. I've already fixed a bug which caused reboots.).
[Desire Android Development] jeffreyljb:
Great ihlades,thanks for your quick reply:) waiting for rc5.

[Desire Android Development] suiller:
on RC4 works perfect ;)
[Desire Android Development] tmwtp:
Sup :)

Earlier i tried the MOD with the snapshot (wouldn't work) so i got the RC4 file flashed both and now its running great, thanks :)

really adds up to the ui imho :D
[Desire Android Development] iltisanni:
Have only 19 MB internal Storage left with RC 4... had more before I think....

btw: circle Mod is nice...
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
+1.. Me too... 18.66MB. Before (RC3) about 100MB
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Which table do you guys recommend with this rom?

N1 or the oxygen table or maybe something else?
[Desire Android Development] rippe93:
Hmm, installed RC4 today, i just got an reboot after sending SMS :o

Im using default kernel, not the manu version. Then i have dalvik on my sd, and i installed circlesmod.

I don't have any idea what caused this..
[Desire Android Development] rippe93:
I got an reboot rightaway after pin code check, after I had flashed the kernel you mentioned!!
[Desire Android Development] jeffreyljb:
Try to flash this Linux kernal:couttstech-2.6.37_OC1190_HAVS@925mV_Ginger_CFS_VR_SLQB.zip

I am using this kernal with r4 ,there is no reboots within 25 hours till now..

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] rippe93:
So you got an reboot also..? :S Then the issue is not kernel related..
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
No, it's not kernel related. I've found and fixed the problem already. Most probably will post an update tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] psygbert:
possibly not. maybe a possible gingerbread issue. many nexus s users also suffer from random reboots after upgrading to ota 2.3.1 or 2.3.2. google already acknowledged the issue.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13674
[Desire Android Development] hellsyn:
Rc4, no problems at all. I actually requested this personally. Hoolm is a great guy. If your having problems try wiping cache and dalvik cache in recovery.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
No, the reboots you've seen are not related to that. It's bug in Redux code that's fixed already, just wait for the update.

Must I repeat, I will: The cause of these reboots does not come from AOSP. I know people are spreading this, especially since some can't get their ROM stable no matter what, but these reboots will be fixed in the next version. I haven't seen one "random" reboot, so it's not an upstream bug that's causing these. Well, not for me, not with Redux. ;)
[Desire Android Development] psygbert:
thanks. waiting for the fix then. i haven't encountered random reboots in redux during other use of my phone except during some calls. it's rare but i encounter it during some phone conversation only just like the issue on the link i gave.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
hey ihlades..just caught an reboot with the logcat, hope its useful to you...

i can repeat this reboot, when i start xtrasms from launcherprodock, turn the phone and push the power-button almost at the same time and in this order.

Redux ROM feels very streamlined.No problems with it whatsoever. Great work.
[Desire Android Development] hellsyn:
Just a cosmetic issue. The top and bottom stop. Colours are chunky looking, anyone know where those images are?
[Desire Android Development] loakyj:
Apart from the odd reboot irrelevant of kernel installed (which you say is fixed in future update), it's fantastic! Going from a long spell with SenseUI it's amazing how quick this is!
[Desire Android Development] chasy:
Yep .. i noticed it too ..
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Question:

how can i get sent and received time from sms? if the phone is shut down, they're not the same.
[Desire Android Development] J_B204:
Well tried RC 4 coming from oxygen. Tried full wipe, factory reset and dalvik etc etc in recovery. Unfortunately it just hangs at the alpharev screen (I am s-off).

Think the problem is I'm using oxygen hboot but as clearly stated there isn't any support for this so I think I'm stuck!
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Until the Nexus One OTA arrives with update graphic drivers, it's either those chunky-looking colors or not-so-smooth scrolling, sadly.
[Desire Android Development] huzz:
What is the recommended partition table?

kthnx.
[Desire Android Development] nstrand:
Any one else having problems setting custom icons in dock with RC4 and LauncherPro? I tried with Gallery and Quickpic but both FC LauncherPro. I didn't have this problem in Oxygen. I also wiped before installation.
[Desire Android Development] nstrand:
Use what you want. I'm using Oxygen at the moment, so I don't need ext-partition at all.
[Desire Android Development] macacao:
Replace overscroll_edge.png and overscroll_glow.png from framework-res.apk (res/drawable-hdpi) with the ones in attachment. :)
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
@ihlades Sorry if I'm bothering you, but can you please tell me is the update coming today? Just to know if I'll wait for it, because I want to try you ROM...
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yes, the update is coming later today. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Caspian3011:
Great, thank you very much for your hard work and quick reply ;)

[Desire Android Development] okan22:
i'm also waiting for the update and then i'll try this rom!!!

2 question are the camera and the video recording working?

do I need S-OFF ???

do I need any special partition or ext3 and fat32 are ok ?? which is the best thing for my 4 gb sd card???

thanks
[Desire Android Development] hyakuman:
ihlades, quick (and small) request for a future release:

Any way that you could include a custom user-agent setting for the messaging app? For those of us who are unfortunately stuck on craptacular Softbank in Japan, without spoofing the UA to iPhone 3.0, we can't send or receive MMS messages.

Right now, I just keep swapping out an old customized 2.2-based messaging app whenever I flash Redux, but not having to do that every time would be awesome.
[Desire Android Development] hyakuman:
1. Camera works, video recording works but there is no 720p recording at this point.

2. S-OFF isn't necessary, but you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery such as Clockworkmod to flash the rom.

3. No absolute need for a special partition if you don't have system memory shortages, but if you need the extended space, ext3 or ext4 works. Fat32 does not work for sd-ext storage.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
no not possible, I have oxygen hboot too & was able to install both Redux & Amethyst
[Desire Android Development] tmwtp:
Something unusual i have noticed:

I am using both 3G and Wifi enabled always so when there is no Wifi network available to auto connect the data will go through the 3G connection.

For some time, I think since RC3, I have noticed that the Wifi network does not connect automatically even when the network is present.

I suspect the CPU settings set to -> Screenstate scaling (Lower cpu when screen is off) -> On

Min freq - 245 MHZ

Max freq - 998 MHZ

Only if i open the screen (when the Wifi network is already available) it will connect to the Wifi network and will leave the 3G connection.

Could the CPU setting be the reason for the wifi not to connect automatically ?

Anyone experienced the same issue ?

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
It has nothing to do with the CPU settings.
[Desire Android Development] tmwtp:
Thanks for the replay :)

Could you think of another explanation\reason for it to happen ?

Is it a known issue ?
[Desire Android Development] tincmulc:
Sorry to ask this but the first post wasn't clear to me.

Does the latest version still use the 535rgb smooth scrolling fix?
[Desire Android Development] okan22:
thanks very much can i format the sd with rom manager???
[Desire Android Development] rodzt37:
Still have random shutdown problems with rc4?

any ideas? i thought this was this fixed in rc4?
[Desire Android Development] loakyj:
If you mean random reboots, this issue is apparently fixed in an update due today.

Thanks, wonder what it could be - have used many other roms before so know how to wipe properly. Hmmm, will try RC 5 and see what happens!
[Desire Android Development] CheesySeb:
How's everyone finding RC5 is it sexy? :)
[Desire Android Development] huzz:
I am wondering should I flash the oxygen hboot or should I just stick with the default one, considering I have my ext4 partition properly set up and a2sd working ..... *suggestions?*
[Desire Android Development] edkis:
Why the kernel was updated to 2.6.37 ? As I know new kernel has a problem with USB speed. Is it so in this RC5 ?
[Desire Android Development] huzz:
LMAO I thought he was just kidding :-p

No offence intended. Appreciate all the hard work, this ROM rox!
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
If your A2SD is working, then all that space on /data that the Oxygen HBOOT provides will go wasted. Just as it is now. :D

Should you not be satisfied with the new kernel, I've placed a download link for the previous kernel in the first post.

Is it that bad? :p
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
flashed it a couple of minutes ago, can't seem to notice any diffrence exept from the new bootanimation.

Thanks for the rom i have tried miui and it was working more than great but i flashed rc4 and after that rc5 but in both of them ( rc5 and rc4 ) i have a problem with my Bluetooth that i didnt have with miui. I can not send apk to my phone , some times ago i noticed that i cannot send files that are not supported to my phone but whit this rom i can not send apk too!

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
No problem here without wiping anything
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Will you try the vorkKernel used in previous releases (available in the first post) and tell me if that fixes the problem?
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
is there a way to have same app storage system as Oxygen (no ext partitioning)? thats really the only feature i preferred in that rom...
[Desire Android Development] tmwtp:
Will do ;)
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
I stiill have the issue with the memory.. I have only 18MB available..

"I//system/xbin/busybox( 72): +++ Apps-to-SD successfully enabled"

is the service that enable the ext3 partition or not ? Previously (RC3 maybe.. I'm not very sure) there were about 100MB of space available.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Yes, that line says that A2SD is enabled. Could you do a `du -sk /data/* | sort -rn | head -n 10` from adb shell and tell me what's the output?
