Nope not neccessary. It gives you a massive advantage, in that you save lots of wasted space, but not doing this will not hinder teh functionality of the ROM.

Its a checkbox I cant get rid of. So I renamed it. It doesnt do anything, hence the name
Heh - Well I checked it as it kindly invites me to!
At the minute I'm keeping my 3g on in the background and had no real issues with the weaker WiFi in standby so it isn't a deal breaker. This Kernel seems to be better as far as battery life is concerned, so I'm reluctant to leave. After 14 hours off of charge, and good usage, I'm on 39% (perfectly happy with this ). The additional script would be welcomed, SU, however I wouldn't know where to start and I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to do it for me (not sure if you implied you would, but you did say "we'll need to add a script to modify your voltage" - I may have jumped to a conclusion but I certanly would accept it !).
Also, just to let you know, 4 days in and I've not had a single issue with this Rom mate. Very slick, smooth and stable with bags of memory. What else do I need? I didn't really want to flash the upgrade as the older build was flawless in my eyes and I didn't "need" to. I guess the hype/reviews convinced me - and I'm glad! Congrats again.
Just to clarify, there is a thread of Eviollet Kernels, of which the latest is ManU 2.1.
There is also a dGB 2.1 which Eviollet has tweaked for me specifically, based on ManU 2.1.
It was the former I suggested as this does not lower the WiFi power by default. This might determine if you were encountering your issues due to WiFi Lowering power when screen off.
One thing is ManU 2.1 has higher voltages than dGB 2.1 (This is one of the tweaks I asked for, voltages to be lowered) so if you were using ManU 2.1, we wouild need to compensate via a script. But as you are using dGB 2.1, there is no need to do anything.
Hope that makes sense.

Hmm - I think it makes sense to me.
I assumed that the lower voltage tweak caused the WiFi signal to diminish when on standby. Thus causing my (already weak) signal to be lost due to the lack of power. So this is not the case?
As the dGB 2.1 Kernerl doens't do this - I won't worry any more. I'm merely questioning this as I'm cutrious as I was - and still am - a little bit unsure by this. So did the previous dGB not come with a new Kernel (I've never changed knowingly).
ManU 2.1 Kernel came with the previous version of dGB. It had a script to lower the voltage and Set WiFiLow "on" so when screen off, Wifi uses less power.
dGB 2.1 kernel comes with latest version of dGB. It has no script to lower voltage or set WiFiLow, as these are now set as default.
If you use Manu 2.1 kernel in Latest dGB ROM, you will not have WiFiLow as there is no script in place to set it low. WiFi will remain full power when screen off.
BUT if you use ManU 2.1, the voltages (nothing to do with WiFI btw, its about CPU - different tweak all together) will not be lowered, so script will need to lower these.
I've had my Desire for about 18 months now and have loved it from day one. My only gripe recently was the low disk space messages. About a week ago I rooted, tried a couple of roms and ended up on dGB. This has changed my phone completely, for the first time I am not charging every night, in fact the last time I charged was Saturday night (3 days ago) and I've still got 25% left, still running all the same apps as I was before and have double the space left for more if require. This rom is just brilliant.

If I helped you, remember to hit THANKS. Manners cost nothing.
Flashed the downgrade hboot & the gingerbread upgrade RUU. Will try to get a repair under warranty. If sucessful I may or may not come back to dGB. I still think it is the ultimate ROM for the desire but I thought I understood what I was doing. Not so sure I do now!
Sorry Dan for hijacking your thread & thanks to you all for the help you have given so freely!
My phone was returned this morning while I was at work. I hope they tell me what they did to fix it. After much soul searching I can't imagine I will be satisfied with a stock phone for long so I'm planning on returning to dGB. I was toying with the idea of giving Oxygen a try to see how the battery life compares but I can't imagine it's much better than dGB (comments anyone?).
Update, last version of dGB was quite simply brilliant.
This latest version takes the ROM to another level. No matter what I do I can't drain the battery! Its awesome! Still on 75% since 6am this morning.
some of you may recall that I have had occasional reboot/freeze issues, this ROM has fixed them for now (fingers crossed!)

Hey Dan.
I probably know the answer to this, as in "no they won't work", but is it possible to restore my old backed up CyanogenMod settings system app to use with dGB?
I used to like the option of switching off the clock in the status bar.
SU - thought I'd check out dGB last night (better late than never, right). All looking good until part-way through Ti restore of my apps and got internal space warning. Admit this was using Oxygen 100MB hboot right enough but didn't think with only about 50 apps that they'd never fit. So some were pretty space hungry games (couple of A Birds, some other stuff for 10p under xmas market deals Heavy Gunner, Reckless Getaway etc) - but my biggest space hog culprit is Touchdown (co. insisted i had to use for work emails to meet security policies).
Clearly not a dGB problem of course, but i just got a bit disappointed as was looking forward to try out dGB. So I just dump installing some games and try again - and I will - but wondered if you/anyone has a suggestion to squeeze everything in?
Problem is I'm not sure whether it's attachments or just sheer number of emails that bloat touchdown so much, and don't really know how much space usage changes day to day - it's currently at 85MB, and doesn't cache anything so nothing to clear.
If not, time to strip out some games and try again tomorrow.

Thinking of rooting? Do yourself a favour, read The Guides, follow them and then thank the guys since you now have the full fat Desire experience .
You can still use the native "move to sd" functionality. I also move all games to fat32 too, regardless of if they allow or not.
85MB is huge. Maybe it syncs too many folders or something, or deleted items?
Anyway the point is not to use scripts to move apps to a wasted, pre-allocated ext partition. Using "move to sd" you're using exactly what you.need, nothing more
oops, just realised that might have been what JDY meant as well, apologies if i misunderstood
Yep that's what i thought - nope syncing Inbox, Sent Items, Calendar, Contacts only
tbh never even crossed my mind going back to GB "move to sd". But i think Ti batch restore will try and put everything on internal phone mem. Can i do move to sd for all games using current rom with a2sd, then back them up in Ti, then batch restore once dGB flashed? Or am i going to have to restore games individually in dGB, move to sd, then a batch restore missing apps?
Right guys...have a quick question, has any had issues with connecting to wifi. As all I seem to get is trying to obtain IP address. Now the wifi with the same password worked fine on redux2 oxygen but all I get with dgb is trying to obtain IP.....any help available would be great as I want to try this Tom properly!

Means problem with kernel. Redownload and reflash Rom..... should be fine
When did you download them? Did you try downloading and flashing the kernels on the site?
It's a kernel fault. The files that went up on 28th had this issue, but all fine since. So its either kernel fault, dodgy data restore or some other thing.
This is a Rom for advanced users so you already know how to fix it anyway
I can help but you give me no information to work with.

Done a fresh download of both tonight. I have not tried all the kernals yet so will give them all a go in the next few days and let you know how I go. The roms did seem to take a while to download tonight so will give them another try later as well. ... its just one of those annoying situations that life sometimes gives u .
Dont know why but would not work on 60mb hboot but does work fine on 65mb hboot. Oh well 65 it is then. Thanks for a slick rom and your help

Reason: Update
Is there a way to set a pin lock but delay how long it takes to enable it? I've been looking in the delay options in lockscreen settings but can't seem to work anything out... :/ if its not possible no worries, just wondering if you could?

It doesn't look like the delays are working at all, even with the lockscreens. I don't use the cm lock screens so didn't realise.
Will look into it for the next build, sometime in the future
Edit. Got it working with sliders partially, but after re enabling and disabling widget locker, it didn't work again.
Can anyone who only uses the cm lock screens please test the delays with sliders?

I am new here, but got in contact with SUroot on his google site comments -- until it vanished. o_0
Well, I wanna help point out stuff about the great dimweetive rom that's why I registered here.
About my phone:
I never dropped it, but sometimes I want to throw it when it starts to hang from overheat. Got fed up with charging every night since day 1 - came from Nokia camp and this was a BIG downer.
Have been lurking about some android sites a few weeks and eventually chose slim over features. Installed CWM, s-off, custom hboot 65MB (so I can add the full fallback ttf for my lunar calendar) and 11072011 a few days after my b-day and have been very impressed and delighted ever since - dgb made me forget about my Nokia.
I thought that would be the end-all upgrade, until I visited SUroot's site and saw a new version. Upgraded to 01282012 (w/o wiping after reading reply to Jon lol), upgraded the kernel and re-added the fallback ttf.
Some weirdness I noticed:
1. After upgraded dgb rom only, then reboot, desire totally hanged while displaying lock screen (foreground) and usb cable connected (background). I have sim PIN security on, but didn't see that appear before this happen. I workaround by removing the batt. All seem fine after that.
2. The camera shortcut has become invalid. This applies to launcher, go launcher and lock screen shortcut. I workaround by removing and adding it again.
3. In Lockscreen > Unlock options, selecting only Menu unlock does not enable Disable unlock slider option. Also, the Menu unlock option does not want to remain enabled.
4. Lockscreen and pattern security still don't like working together. I guess this is ok. At least the others work fine, but I think none of the lock delays are working.
5. In Lockscreen > Style options > Choose background, I'm only having problems with Custom image. Only File Expert and Quickpic are my choices since I have them installed. If I use FE, I can pick a picture in my SD and it would display "background changed" but going to lockscreen does not display that picture. Enabling screen security does not display the background either. I then tried selecting a smaller image in FE, but same results.
I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading!
[EDIT]
6. Is it safe to update Superuser in Market? The first time opened My app in Market after upgrading dgb, it tried to update itself automatically. I think I was able to stop it.

2. The camera has changed. If you had a shortcut somewhere (saved in /data) then that shortcut becomes wrong when the Target changes.
It just made me panic, but I like the newer camera so far.

This one made me wonder. Not to nitpick on dgb, but I used this combination just before I left sense. I miss it, but I can get over it.

After stopping it, I checked both market version and installed version. same. Again, it took me by surprise so I panic cancelled it.
And I don't know why I panic so easily now. 21st century gadgets are so pretty (prone to bricking). :/
I'll look at the lockscreen bugs fopr next version, when I get chance. It was a monster to port, so I probably missed something out somewhere.
The only problem is CM have changed how the lockscreen operates in the source, so the same source is no longer available that I ported from.
Thanks for letting me know though. As i do not use the lockscreen myself, these bugs tend to go un noticed.
I will try my hardest to fix them, but at the end of the day, it may be that the broken features are simply removed. I will try my hardest for that not to happen though.
Tbh, these things that don't work or don't work as intended aren't deal breakers for me and I can definitely live with the current version until this phone bites the dust. But realizing how much effort you put into really polishing dgb makes me feel it would be disrespectful to say such things.
So for all the time and sweat you put into it, I say keep up the good work and I truly look forward to the next version.
