[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
This is a summary of most useful and repeated info in main thread about ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3.

Updated until April 23.

I've been reading most of the "ROM LeeDrOiD V3.0.x GB | Android 2.3.3" main thread , but have not installed it myself. Not in a beta testing mood. So decided to help instead by compiling what seems to be a FAQ, derived from that thread - so that the main thread needn't be polluted by always the same questions.

This is not meant to be complete. If an answer isn't clear enough, it's because more info is out there, either on Google, XDA or e.g. on http://leedroid.com/bravo-wiki/

All credit goes to Leedroid, and the experts answering on the main thread. I'm just compiling info - hopefully to slow down the rate of always-the-same posts in the main thread.

NOTE: do not use this thread to ask new questions. Only to debate the correctness of the FAQ.

* if you report a problem/success, make sure to mention your version of: HBOOT, recovery, S-OFF/ON, PVT (1-4) (if PVT4 also erasesize), did you wipe before flash, what was your previous ROM, etc, ...

* best way to install LeeDroid 3.x A2SD+ ROM:

- optionally backup all your apps with data (e.g. Titanium)

- optionally backup all your contacts, sms, apn's, etc (whatever is not saved in the cloud) - various apps out there.

- optionally nandroid backup (recommended for an easy way back if it fails)

- make sure to have HBOOT 0.93x

- flash new recommended radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08), reboot to previous rom. Check radio version in Setting / About Phone

- set up your SD card with a (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (512MB-2GB)

- from recovery: wipe all partitions (data, app, cache, dalvik) (except if coming from earlier Leedroid 3.x)

- flash the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip (unless you know exactly why you don't want to - e.g. if you want to keep EXT4).

- flash the LeeDroid ROM

- reboot, wait, could take 5-20 minutes

- enjoy.

* ROM is only partially multi-lingual (system language). (is based on a leaked test ROM directly from HTC, many languages incomplete. Can't be fixed)

* IMPORTANT: so far, nobody with HBOOT 0.75 or 0.80 has reported success. It always hangs on boot. Solution: get HBOOT 0.93x.

Option 1) flash latest RUU (you will need to re-root also then). E.g. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13056537&postcount=1457

Option 2) Get it via AlphaRev S-OFF

* If you are S-OFF (alpharev.nl), make sure to have the default "stock" partition table sizes (Bravo Stock 250M/40M/147M).

* partitions of your SD card: (1st) primary partition FAT-32 and (2nd) primary EXT partition (the EXT partition should be 512MB-2GB; for most users, 512MB-1GB is plenty enough). Experts highly recommend Gparted (use align to MiB option; this is a Linux application, but easily used from a boot CD/USB for Windows users). (You may want to research this issue if you're new to it, is out of scope for this FAQ). Esp. if you didn't use Gparted, it's highly recommended to use the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip -> will align the partition for faster read/writes.

* many people reporting ROM failing to boot/flash, fixed it by running the "Convert sdext to EXT3" zip. This will align & format in your EXT partition.

* Which recoveries work? So far, no special comments. CWM 2.5.x or AmonRa 2.0.0/2.0.1 seems ok. For some, flashing with recovery CMW 3.0.0.5 leads to boot hang, but others say it works.

* Several programs force close (e.g. angry birds ) when run from SD. Fix: move app to phone (Settings / Application Manager). Note that on an A2SD+ ROM, having the "app on phone" really means that app is on the EXT of the SD, so that's exactly what you want! ("App on SD card" as used in the Settings / Application Manager is an inferior method of saving data space)

* Gingerbread - Handcent: no LED. Known problem. Works with Green LED, not with Blue LED (in Handcent settings). Some say this can also be worked around with GO SMS and/or Led me know - search main thread for more.

* Menu (button) to wake is problematic. This feature was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. Only works for a short time after the screen lock. Lee's working on it.

* for some apps, restoring from Titanium *INCLUDING app's data* will lead to app FC. if so, delete app's data via Settings/Applications

* Adobe Flash Player / iplayer (BBC UK) problems? Redownload Flash Player from Market. Some say "it worked but only until the next boot!"

* Some people had problem until they wiped (write zeroes) the EXT partition from Partition Wizard, and reformatted (no need to touch the FAT32). Probably easier fixed with the EXT3 zip.

* Some say "Swype needs to be switched on after every reboot"

* (sibere/droidzone's) Data2SD flashable zips DO NOT work on LeeDroid 3.

* EXT4 does not work with the leaked ROM (HTC). EXT4 support was added in LeeDroid 3.0.2. However, many have said that EXT4 is readable but can still not be used as A2SD partition with 3.0.2..

3.0.3 should bring improved EXT4 support - waiting for user reports!

* Compass is broken (doesn't point in right direction). (one user report that it works with older Radio)

* Visually it's almost identical to Froyo Sense, because it's still the same Sense version (some say 1.9) from Desire stock Froyo (with a few feature (text copying?) as in Desire HD Sense). Supposedly the Gingerbread improvements are under the hood (better memory management, speed, battery). Nobody knows whether future real/leaked ROMs from HTC will include a later Sense version (as in Desire HD or S)

* Gingerbread contains new feature "fast boot" which resembles hibernate... if enabled, you can't go into recovery on boot with the usual key presses...

(1) Try Settings > Applications > Turn off Fast Boot. (2) Or use ROM manager's (included with LeeDroid 3.x) "reboot to recovery" feature. (3) Or use Restart and hit vol- the moment screen goes black.

* Data++ can be made to work... but requires editing ROM before flashing. See main thread post by anderl78*

* Do I need to wipe? Some users say it works without (when coming from Leedroid 2.4) - if you feel adventurous, try yourself, but if problem, go back and wipe. (and report). This depends on how "different" your current ROM is.

Specific to 3.0.3

- see changelog on 1st post in main thread.

- No wipe required from 3.0.2

- No locale modifications yet, we will need a new WWE build from HTC

- no change on the menu/trackpad to wake...

- Many report that upgrade/uninstall of app via Market leads to soft reset. (but that install of new apps works). ==> update: there's a specific patch for that in main thread OP.

- compass still pointing in the wrong direction
