[Desire Android Development] Dulus:
Firstly thak you very much Droidzone for clearing things for me and answering my newbie questions.

Secondly thank you for you great ROM, i installed it yeasterday it runs smooth so far.

But... I have som more questions.

So to be clear on the kernels, if my Desire will start to have accidental reboots, i should use "WifiFix_VDD_OC_UV_Batt_EBatt_LS_2WC_TP (Dec 17)"" this kernel (dont need any OC/UD and other stuff really), as it is stable, only info on droidzone.in site is outdated/unedited ?? right ? or should i use this kernel just as precaution ? or should i stay with kernel that came with Supernova 2.4.0.0 ??

Also i noticed that on driodzone.in site there is an addon "SuperNova AutoBrightness LightSensor Fix (826)", as i understand this fixes some screen blinikng when autobrightness is turned on right? do i need it ? i didnt see anything on my phone, but i have it one day only with supernova rom. and if i will start to notice blinking and will use the higher mentioned kernel WifiFix_VDD_OC_UV_Batt_EBatt_LS_2WC_TP do i need to install this addon ? isnt the blinking fixed on kernel level then ?

i am a little confused.

thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
1. The only wrong info on the site about kernel is that a couple of kernels which are tagged as supporting oc/uv doesn't support them. These were released at a time when I didn't have my Desire with me.

2. The auto brightness fix is already present in sn 2.4, so that addon is redundant. There is a thread by tobi in the forum, which explains it.

Hum... Data2SD and Dalvik2Nand? Sounds like an old story but it was the actual thing running on my very own Desire :D
[Desire Android Development] Opperpanter:
Just flashed newest radio, after that sense seems to be reset somehow.

All desktops are reset to factory default, but my apps are still installed.

google account stilla active & working.

Is this normal?

EDIT: Apps are gone. Only settings like google act, wifi, apn etc are still there.

EDIT2: Also cannot boot into recovery anymore.

my desire is S-OFF hboot version 0.93. its all according to the noob proof root guide (sticky post).

after installing the rim and rebooting there is no green led blink, only red (on for a while) then blue blinking and then its stuck at the s-off screen. If i pull out the battery the rom works but the data2sd is not installed, i have 110 mb space.

what can i do about that?
[Desire Android Development] cartus:
If you did partition the card before installing the rom, I think you can try with another card. My guess is this one is not good for data2sd.
[Desire Android Development] Opperpanter:
At the moment I am considering moving away from data2sd roms.

First I used Starburst on a class 10 sd card.

Ran fine in the beginning, but after some months it kept crashing/force closing/switching itself of.

The sd card was giving read errors also, so I bought a new one. This time playing it safe with a class 4 16GB card.

I tried to install gingerburst, but that one didn't boot.

So I tried supernova to get gingerbread and a little newer sense.

It installed ok, but still having force closes and sudden freezes of phone.

Also during phone calls. Also it was noticably slow.

[Desire Android Development] Zammo76:
Is there any chance someone can post a direct download link to this ROM, I can't seem to find one on the first page or on the ROMs website it links too. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] cartus:
You have to register on his site first.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Registration on the site is free and will activated automatically within seconds. Once activated, login, click on the big title in the top that says 'Download links'. Even this simple procedure is explained on post 5 or 6.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No problem. The ROM uses an automated tool to log why errors happened. You have to understand that without logs, nobody has a clue what's going on, in your phone.

To tell you that there are errors on your system, my program uses the flashing lights on your led and keys.
[Desire Android Development] renuk11:
Thanks for an amazing rom. Are you planning to port ics to the desire ? i hope you will. :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Compiling ics is a fulltime job, fit for the likes of a whole community like cyanogen. :)

It's a lot of work, but I do intend to look into it when I get a bit more time..Will be busy till Feb 19..Hope to be free after that.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Kindly upload the file here after renaming it to .zip.
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
here it is. added .zip at the end of it
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
My logs show that you don't have a recognized ext partition at all!! Please follow my instructions from the site, word for word. I don't know what they have written in that tutorial you followed, but apparently it hasn't worked.

Visit supernova.droidzone.in, then click on the menu that says Installation.
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
Wow! ok, i was not expecting to hear that. I'll do that as soon as i can. Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
I ran the card trough Gparted again and did this:

(1st of all, the space was indeed shown as unallocated)

- created a partition fat32 (primary partition) (i had 3xxx mb and removed 1 from 2)

- created ext4 (primary partition) with the remaining 1000

- operations were completed successfully

when i unplug my phone sd card is shown as damaged and i have to format. Once again, unallocated space.

should ext4 be secondary?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No it shouldn't. Are you plugging the phone as usb drive? You should use an sdcard reader when you have problems like these. Since you're s off, I'd suggest installing 4ext recovery and then allow the recovery to repartition your card completely. It's the easiest way to do it, as the recovery will take care of all the partition type and format.

[Desire Android Development] zelendel:
Ok guys. I am looking into this now. If the kernel does break the GPL then it will be removed. The rules will be followed by all. Plain and simple.

Second this is not a business and will not be treated as one. All things here are done for free and if people are trying to make money off of it then they may be better off going somewhere else.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Huh, gone already? O.o

Damn, missed all the action. Just to make sure about extent of the damage - you're not considering a retirement yet? :D

[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
I think you are a very polite and very patient person. Who makes great ROMs. Eagerly awaiting the 2.4.1.1 version...:D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
2.4.1.1 will come. Right now, I'm delving into the innards of APK reverse engineering, and considering putting out a tutorial for the same, on XDA.. We need more people to start cracking 'em Sense 3.5 frameworks. ;)

Oh and btw..I thought you were considering a move to more cosmetically appealing Roms? :p
[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
True, but not at the cost of stability and speed (and storage). First and foremost I need a reliable and responsive phone. Period. And that's why I still stick to your great GB ROM although it does have a rather archaic Sense version :p But indeed, your ROM with a more cosmetically appealing Sense version would be truly fantastic.
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
yes, the phone was plugged as a disk drive.

got home today and tried gparted here but same thing.

installed 4ext recovery, went trough that to partition my card, rebooted and now im stuck at the s-off screen (after some red led action).

currently giving it 20 full minutes to finish whatever its doing. dont think it works.

i have a usb drive that takes micro sd cards. ill use that if this doesnt work.

it really sucks that i cant get it going.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Do you mean to say you've partitioned the card and just rebooted it? No way that can work. Now you have to start installing as per my guide, after confirming that recovery reports partitions correctly.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Looks aside, have you found any real advantage in the way it works? I installed a Sense 3.5 ROM just for seeing what was changed, and couldn't find anything useful. I could, given time, port the lockscreen, app drawer and probably widgets, but it'd still run this ROM behind the scenes, as this is the only one compiled for the Desire.
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
was just about to edit my post.

did gparted again, this time with the usb adapter.

it was a success, no more errors when i put it in the phone.

about to start installation from scratch, should be good...

*EDIT* Thanks for being so quick and helpful. I really appreciate it!

Also, did not use the MB aligned option. Is that bad or will it be fine?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Sounds great...let me know. Nothing more satisfying than knowing a new newbie has installed our rom successfully! :)
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
SUCCESS !!!

873 mb internal storage.

Thanks a lot for guiding me trough it!

Gonna go celebrate with a nice dinner.
[Desire Android Development] SpideRMaN-17:
Hi droidzone

For me supernova is very stable but a bit laggy on a class 6 (6.4mb/sec) sdcard. I moved dalvik to rom and noticed some speed improvements.

[Q] Does moving dalvik to rom really improve performance ?

[Q] is there a way to disable sense (am using go launcher which in my case improved performance) ?

Thanks for your time and very good roms !!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, moving DK to NAND can speed up things quite a bit. In fact, that was the improved version of Data2SD that we (Sibere's design and code really) released around 7-9 months ago. Now similiar versions can be noticed over the forum named like xa2sd or something.. ;) If you look at the StarBurst thread, you will even find some scripts we'd made for interconverting the scripts on the fly. But, "officially" all my scripts assume that DK is on ext4 (as far as upgrading Roms goes)

Hmm..I've never actually wanted to disable Sense. I know some devs have played around with it. At the user level, I suppose once you set your custom launcher to start up, you can disable Rosie and allied services from starting up, even with Autostarts. You will have to play with it a bit to tune it to prevent force closes.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Looks like we were too much ahead of the game ;)

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

You may experience more lags without aligning the EXT4 partition.
[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
No, not really, but then again having the same functionality, speed and stability plus better looks wouldn't be bad, would it?
[Desire Android Development] cammyhorne:
after using a few 3.5 ROMs over the last few week and getting pi$$ed with with taking abttery out as it crashes, its time for a reliable stable ROM.
[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
Well thanks! This ROM is amazing.....although I have a quick question.

It seems to be really laggy for me. I got the install to work correctly with approx 800+Mb space of install. It's a class 2 SD card I'm using but it should't slow down the system this much!

Is it worth overclocking? I have all the apps I need installed and the DALVIK is at 116Mb's (on the SD). Can I (and if so), how can I transfer this cache back into the phone memory? :)

Thanks for all your hard work though OP! :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes it can and it may, when majority of your Data and Dalvik cache is on it, rather than NAND as is normal.

Overclocking wont solve your lag. When there is a chain, it is the weakest bit that gives way. It's useless that you harden the other bits! You can transfer DK back to Nand, by manually copying from /data/dalvik-cache to /system/data/dalvik-cache, and then creating a symlink between them.
[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
I couldn't agree more!!

Um...one thing though - how? Is there a script I can use in clockwork? I have no idea how to create a symlink, or what it even is haha!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Symlink, short for symbolic link, is a shortcut that resides on one location, and links to another location, somewhat analogous to a hyperlink on a webpage. They are created with the ln -s command..

From the dir containing adb.exe (Refer to my ADB tutorial linked in my signature, if you dont have the Android SDK installed), after booting to recovery:

adb shell
umount /data
mount /system
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t yaffs2 -o noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system/data
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext4 -o barrier=0,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,nobh,nouser_xattr,noauto_da_alloc,commit=50 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data
mkdir /system/data/dalvik-cache
cp -a /data/dalvik-cache/* /system/data/dalvik-cache/
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
rmdir /data/dalvik-cache
ln -sfn /system/data/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

I could definitely make a flashable zip, but it needs much more logic to debug if something goes wrong (there may be lines of code in the startup script at etc/init.d/01data that refers to a dir existing at /data/dalvik-cache). So it's recommended to run the above code manually from a dos prompt (or linux shell).
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, you were! :)

Welcome to our enclave of sanity on this board then.

[Desire Android Development] avrichter:
You are right, stability is the key factor of this ROM and that's why I am using it. Let's keep this enclave a nice place to be w/o any FCs and reboots. Thanks to Droidzone for creating this habitat and keeping it pest free. :D
[Desire Android Development] octa_amide:
Hi Droidzone,

If I use HTC official unlocker. Will it affect supernova?

I asked because I want to get s-off. I have been unsuccessful so far.

Only radio and simlock remain lock after using HTC official unlocker.

Sent from my HTC Desire running SuperNova 2.4.0.0 with a 32GB Class10
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi..Take a full backup before anything. If I had my say, I'd say not to apply it, but allow others to be the guinea pigs ;) Why not use Revolutionary S-off tool? It's a completely reversible process, and safer IMHO. I cant assert this, but I believe the HTC tool only unlocks bootloader from checking signature. So unless you plan to retain HTC's own recovery, it's rather useless.
[Desire Android Development] phil-w:
NOOB question...

I've rooted a couple of phones in the past, flashed a HD2 with android etc but I want(need) more app space on my Desire.

Can someone please confirm that you NEED or Don't NEED Root to install this rom.

The write up at the beginning makes out that it is all stock and people don't always want to root a phone. But it is not clear what is required.

I'm running HTC's 2.3.3 developer version on a UK Orange phone. At least it got rid of the bloatware Orange put on thier phones. Tried a few ways to get root previously and have failed so far..

Any suggestions or advice please.....

Thanks... Phil
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Quick answer: All custom roms in this forum require phone to be rooted and sporting a custom recovery.
[Desire Android Development] phil-w:
Thats all I needed to know for now, thanks for your quick reply....
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Would there be people interested in testing a faster version of Supernova? It'd be experimental and may be buggy initially..
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
What did you bring to a table with it?

I bet enough candidates could be found. The proliferation of fast and _stable_ terms initially leave to us :D
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
You can count on me, but I warn you that I have a micro sd class 10
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Interested people should let me know..preferably experienced people who won't mind a bootloop or two :p

I'd probably form a closed user group and send links for beta releases by pm. Once approved, links will be moved to main download section.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Stable comes later.. I don't get how some people can call their roms fast and stable when every other post is a bug report!
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
.....preferably experienced people who won't mind a bootloop or two

I have bootloops by myself sometimes, so no problem if my beloved desire begins to behave like its owner :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ok, I've successfully fixed the bug that came up in the last version which I subsequently withdrew.. Debugging it took days, but weirdly, fixing it took 3 words in my code..Apparently busybox had changed its install command. It now needs a full path to be specified rather than a relative "./busybox" as I previously used. There was no reason to suspect that!!
[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
Thanks so far, but I've failed at step one!

After starting the shell, I type

umount /data

all it says back is "failed."

What am I doing wrong? Also, when I've finished your instructions, should I reboot the device? Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi..If you can wait for a couple of days, I'll be releasing a beta which automates this process. There are a couple of issues with doing that, which needs testing.. But the first line is supposed to give that error. It's just in case. /data is not mounted at start/
[Desire Android Development] jonboyuk:
Thanks very much, in that case I'll wait as long as it takes. I got to the fourth line and I was getting errors lol :) The phone is perfectly usable at the moment, but I just want the DAVLIK off the SD to speed things up a little.

Will you post on the first page or shall I just make regular checks to this thread?

Again, thanks so much for all your work.

One other thing, is there a reason the old market place is installed and it doesn't update itself? :)
[Desire Android Development] cammyhorne:
just flashed this ROM, the space i have now is great, very straight forward to install, now going to be installing anything i like,

many thanks
[Desire Android Development] cartus:
The old market is a litlle faster but you can update it via an apk from google if you want. After this it updates itself without problems.

FC htc.bgp

Hi,

I am using v2.4.0.0 with latest Radio and with normal kernel.

Now I've started receiving FC with com.htc.bgp and com.people

Is there some way how to fix it? I've tried to google it, no luck with their guide.

I've tried to reinstall ROM via Recovery Manager without wiping anything. No luck

Thank you in advance for any help,

Adrian
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi. It could be anything from permissions to something more sinister like a card problem. You need to get the logcat, with either adb, or with a Market app like Catlog..

Guys, check out the all new Supernova signatures! ;)

Hello again! All has been going great running this ROM. It's a bit slow sometimes, tends to freeze momentarily when switching apps or in some menus. Unimportant.

I have a question. After playing with my phone today, when I ran out of battery I noticed that 71% of the usage was due to the display. I know the display usually drains a lot but I feel it could be better. After seeing there is a "light sensor fix" download on your site I was wondering if I need that. I'm running the latest version of the Rom. Or if I should download any additional fixes.

Thanks!

[Desire Android Development] afadzil21:
Great work Droidzone. I've been using the ROM for about 2 weeks now to see how it is, noticing a bit of lag on the volume control when using the rocker. Is this is normal or have I got a bug on mine? I'm on stock HBoot by the way, S-OFF. My Desire's an SLCD unit, one of the first SLCD units.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
The latest version has that fix already built in - but IIRC kernel should be updated to the one of December 17th, something with those brightness levels wasn't working right.

That 71% is not an absolute value. That means that out of x% of the battery used 71% went on screen. That is normal if you are using your mobile device as supposed to.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire Android Development] SpideRMaN-17:
Droidzone,

Is there a way to implement OC in the kernel dated 17th December please ?

It was supposed to be an OC kernel but it's not. (At least setcpu cannot see it)

Thanks for supporting this nice & stable rom !
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I was working on this all day long! :(

I have implemented an alpha, but I'm getting lags. If you wish to test, I'll upload

Edit: I think I have solved the lag issue. Need some people to test and report.
