Same thing here. I've tried everything, re-rooted and S-OFF-ed my phone a couple of times, tried with 4 different class 6 cards (Samsung, Transcend, A-data, Kingston), installed newest (recommended) radio rom and its always the same thing.

My phone works perfect until I get a phone call, then the phone frezees (buttons light up but my screen doesn't) and everything goes to hell

I love this ROM and the free space but seems my desire just doesn't want to cooperate

Russian servers will profit from this. Deposit here we come!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmm..then definitely consider a non data2sd solution. Primary purpose of a phone is calling people.. If it can't be used for that, it's pointless. Unfortunately, as pointed out in the initial posts, this is not a bug in the ROM, but inherent I'm data2sd solution.. try something which keeps dk in nand, could be faster though it will allow only around 300 MB worth apps

Hi,

I'm returning with a bit of a problem.

The ROM doesn't feel very stable on my phone. It hangs on opening apps or updating from market to the point of force close or wait. Sometimes it freezes when I call or receive a call. Browsing is also a pain. Sync takes forever. Sometimes I just try to use it and hold it in my hand for 2-3 minutes and give up. :)

Is there any solution for this? Maybe a faster kernel? Is my standard Desire sdcard too crappy to run this data2sd rom well?
[Desire Android Development] blejky:
What sd card are you using. The standard card is usually class 2,class 6 will solve all yours problems. Hopefully.
[Desire Android Development] cfs_mihai:
Yes, it's a Samsung class 2. Can't really afford a new card right now so I guess I can't use this ROM at the moment. I will revert back to my old favorite (unless someone has another idea) because i'm leaving town for 2 weeks again and I can't afford lagging.

Thanks for the tip, awaiting more suggestions.
[Desire Android Development] blejky:
Sorry to hear that.

When you do buy a new one class 6 make this ROM fly.

I was working on a simple script to fix the Market cache filling issue do that you can install bigger apps.

It's integrated into Getlogsinteractive script. To install it for a session, open Scripts manager app, run Getlogsinteractive as root, with argument: cacheboost

Changes persist only for the current session. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi,

Today I was taking pictures of a boiler room on this construction site we're working on. Out of 18 pics phone froze itself four times. I found this thread with a same symptoms :

*they were taken in a dark room with maxed out flashlight.
*after rebooting, the brightness is not auto any longer and is set on maximum.
*I have yet to verify if any of the pictures are missing.

The interesting part in this is that it happens even on stock and unrooted phones too! :eek:

This eliminates the rom and the kernel out of the equation.

Is there anyone willing to try it out and providing DZ with last_kmsg if he's willing to look into it?
[Desire Android Development] dj pierre:
Yet another try.

- New 8gb class6 Samsung card, did ckeck for errors, seems good.

- Deleted the standard partition on it

- Created a primary FAT32 partition with 512mb unallocated space in Gparted

- Created an Ext4 partition of 512mb(enough for me)

- Copied the needed files to the FAT32 disk

- Installed the latest Supernova ROM in Recovery, no problems so far

- Intalled the DZ zip, not the last one since the site is down. But i used the one before yesterday. No errors or anything

Boots up fine with my own settings but no Ext4 in use. 10mb free. Feels quick.

Installed the Data2SDInstallerX3E.zip(bit older but from here) and got Ext4 working again. Still have my own settings. Significant speed decrese though.

Made a call, could hang up and screen turns black afer. Lights work, no screen.

Released the battery and booted up again. All good. Made a call and could hang up again. Opened an email and screen goes black with an andoid logo i've never seen before on my phone?? Like this one:

No responce or anything.

Why can't it just work...Or am i'm missing something here?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Just checked the card in Minitool Partition manager and it says the Ext4 is now Ext2. That's a bit odd, isn't it? I'm positive it was EXT4 formatted.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
What you've got to do is run adb logcat on it continuously, and then make a call to yourself while logs are running. Save logs and upload. Same with dmesg before and after, again from adb. Without any logs, we can only guess that there's something wrong with the device. Supernova was released in August last year, 3 days after HTC released their ruu. To date, I've seen only two user reports of this, both on the same day.. So without logs, I'm as puzzled as you.

About ext 4 getting converted to ext 2, that's a known issue with cwm. Are you using that as your recovery? May I also ask why you're using a much older data2sd installer?

Swyped on my Htc Desire running on Supernova Extreme - Gingerbread goodness with 2 GB of Internal memory
[Desire Android Development] dj pierre:
I am using CWM as recovery. Is there a better alternative?

Reason used the old data2sd installer is that it's the only full installer at hand. Your site is down at the moment...

making the logs can be done. I will make some experiments soon. Just can't turn my phone off in case duty calls...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I emulated your test conditions and took around 30 shots and the only thing I inferred was how much our phone sucks at taking photos in the dark! I couldn't get it to reboot. Did you happen to see how much free ram you had at the time? I tried with and without auto brightness, with and without flash. I won't say I'm not happy that it didn't reboot though, otherwise I'd have to delve into the kernel code again! But if what you say is right, I can again think of only a few culprits, the sdcard for one, and a particular board configuration. Mine's a PVT4 with an erase size 20K. Maybe you could compare specs with the guy who had it, and see if you share the board?

By the way, were you using data2sd, or some other ROM? And which kernel? sdcard brand and class? Did the phone reboot by itself, or did you have to pull battery? Were you undervolted/overclocked?

Can you test under similar conditions with my latest alpha, it's clocked and volted for performance mode.

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This is a link to our beta data2sd code, which moves dalvik to nand. It will provide a moderate speed boost. But you will not be able to install apps on more than around 500 MB ext 4, so that would be the size of the partition. The zip was made on my phone, so if it fails to flash, you will have to unzip and re zip with winzip in normal compression mode.

steps

Install ROM,

Reboot once, don't install anything or enter Google account details,

Reboot to recovery, flash data2sd installer

Reboot, use the phone normally. Do not use titanium backup to restore anything, download from market, it use an apk

If possible, use 4ext recovery for restoring backups in future. cwm reverts ext 4 to ext 2 every time you restore a backup

I'm not s-off. Since everything installs the way it should i figured it's not needed(yet).

I installed the 8gb samsung again and installed aLogcat from the market. Funny thing is that everything seems to be working fine just now. Called myself on my other phone(i carry an old MDA also) for 5 times and it keeps working.

Lets see if it keeps stable...

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
I'm not implying there is something wrong with the code, but if it would be possible to check the log and see if you could crack what's going on.

Mine is PVT3, not sure about erase size. It's under question mark if I could catch that guy - the thread was from a week following the official update.

No data2sd, rom is Neophyte's rooted stock, card is unfortunately stock as that investment was pretty low on my list of priorities, but I did some symlinks so dalvik is on nand.

I already tried downloading that kernel you mentioned in the last couple of posts, but couldn't load the page. I will flash that and do chkdsk you recommended last time, then I'm testing again.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:

When using the snq- kernel it does work, see screen dump. After switching to your latest alpha cifs doesn't work, so it must be the kernel, agree?

Well you certainly gave off an aura of a power user. :)

You've got to add a line to the file system/etc/init.d/99complete if you want it loaded at each boot

insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

Or you could type out that line in a terminal and the module would be activated for that session. Same goes for any other module.

I have just received my SanDisk bicolor 16Gb and I prepared it (FAT32+1.85G ext4 both Mb aligned with gParted). I have also discovered is a Class10 but I read somewhere that this was very good for Desire.... hope so. But for this procedure I kept my original SD card.

I wiped (only Data) and installed the rom re-dl from the site now. Rebooted and confirmed basic settings skipping all the other (google and social).

After a couple of minutes I connected the USB cable chosen charge only & don't ask me again (in case).

Launched:

=============================================

| Revolutionary S-OFF & Recovery Tool 0.4pre4 |

=============================================

Brought to you by AlphaRev & unrEVOked.

Waiting for device...

Found your device: HTC Desire (bravo-0.93.0001, Android: 2.3.3, ROM version: SuperNova)

entered the beta key and as before:

Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Failed to get Root! :(

I haven't re-rooted the devices (but I never unrooted also ...so it should stay rooted unless I do something).

I haven't do the Data2SD script, I haven't rebooted and is S-ON so .... that's weird.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I said Wipe data/Factory reset option in recovery. Which means to wipe /data, /cache, /sd-ext, and /boot!
[Desire Android Development] briga69:
Yes I meant the whole option (only Data as not cache). Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Now I rebooted the PC (not the phone) tried again and this time is stuck on the zerging root with not even a fail ... I am looking for other ways of gaining S-OFF.....
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Easy method...Copy everything from sdcard including Titaniumbackup and clockworkmod directory to PC..

Delete the partitions on card and make one fat32 partition. Install Teppic's rooted rom on it. Try Revolution once again. Should work

--------------

Another method....Wipe everything, install Supernova. After flashing rom's zip, connect phone in recovery...

adb shell
mount /system
rm /system/etc/init.d/01data

Reboot, and Supernova will be installed without data2sd.. Revolution should work now..

Revolution may fail if you dont have drivers installed for adb...follow their site for instructions.
[Desire Android Development] briga69:
I will give it a try.

I don't need adb driver I guess being on Ubuntu (like you :)

I will give it a finaly try rebooting PC (again never the phone) and then using revolutionary with sudo (you never know, their site says to do it only if it does not detect the device but maybe ....)

Then I will try with the adb commands ... and then maybe with teppic

which I guess is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997

When you say full wipe (and the others) that does not mean cache does it? Because on your site & FAQ it's written many times not to do it.....
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, wiping cache destroys data2sd and breaks supernova...which is why I asked you to do it...but only in conjunction with deleting /system/etc/init.d/01data...otherwise the whole script reads warning signals
[Desire Android Development] briga69:
I am onto something here .... Revolutionary loops forever even with sudo (but if I disconnect the cable than it fails and I go back to bash).

Interesting the phone doesn't offer me mount as disk and ES says there is no SD card .... this is still on the first boot of SuperNova .....

Anyway went back to recovery - wiped cache & data (not dalvik) and reinstalled SuperNova, waiting for first boot.

The revolutionary site doesn't say that I need Android SDK installed .. you were talking about drivers:

I am rebooting so much that I feel like being on Windows :)

Anyway I'll make it in the end I am sure (and I'll stick to your ROM)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Never ever had to reboot Linux. As an fyi, adb on Linux requires a configuration line in /etc for permissions, but revolutionary doesn't. If revolutionary fails, there's always the alpharev Linux live cd. It has worked for each time. Try it. Don't ever pull the cable unless alpharev tells u to do it. Apparently that can brick ur phone.

OK deleting 01data & wipe had no luck.

Now I am going with the teppic way (suffering from temporary removing SuperNova :)

OK with teppic rom it worked out of the box ... don't know why it wasn't before.

Now I am onto swapping SD card, installing SuperNova 2.4.0.0 and restoring from nandroid backup.

Revolutionary did work with teppic rom (that changed my radio also I suppose).

I have already inserted the bi-color SD, installed SuperNova and waiting for first boot (baiscally step 3 of your installation guide).

I have noticed that fastboot is still on and has to be unticked manually despite being on the latest (2.4) SuperNova.

[Desire Android Development] briga69:
One more thing. I have reinstalled SuperNova 2.4.0.0 went through the second boot (pink led) and then after few seconds on the normal launcher screen (I guess is called rosie) I got a notification message: "Unexpected removal of SD card" (I translated it into that) and the phone goes in to the black screen with the slightly grey android writing in the middle forever (the 2light" on android in moving but it is stuck).

I could not find anything like that or in the FAQ.

Just a quick recap of what I did (last actions at list)

Wipe everything

Installed teppic ROM

Revolutionary

Wipe everyhting

Changed to new SD (13G fat32 + 1.85Gb ext4) mb aligned

Flashed suggested radio via fastboot

Installed SuperNova (following carefully all instructions on site)

Deticked Fastboot

Rebooted
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Now that you're s-off, this is the best time to switch recovery. For all we know cwm may still be making ext3 partitions. Download 4ext app from Max's site, use the app to flash the recovery, reboot to recovery. Use it to delete all partitions on create fresh partitions with 4ext. Then follow my steps.

[Desire Android Development] flowserver:
No One?
[Desire Android Development] briga69:
I have installed the recovery that comes with revolutionary cwm 4.x.

I have prepared the partition with gParted and I am 100% sure they are ext4 and Mib aligned.

I have also tried (after the second boot) to boot again to recovery and do a nandroid restore. Which succeed, again the phone reboot correctly, hooks my WiFi (so settings have been restored) and in less than two seconds switch to the black screen with the android sign (and the light effect moving across).

Could it be the sd card?

I have just installed the SanDisk UltraMobile 16Gb bi-color (red & gray). It's a class 10 but I have read to be good for the desire and Data2SD.

UPDATE:

Now it switched to a loop of FC (which is documented in the FAQ). Being S-OFF I don't think I need to reinstall the script but just reboot ... let's see what it happens.

Curious because Data2SD has to be on. The blue led lights at boot, I have 1.37Gb free space) and in the info it says iData2SD Renaissance Edition X8E Droidzone.

It really bothers me because I have been using SuperNova for months in a very enjoyable way ... and now this. And I don't want to change rom sgrunt!

Wait a minute the instructions says to flash the zip after the system hangs...from recovery. Should I do it before it hangs, wait for a freeze, then reboot and grab the file from recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Think about it. You flash a tool and it captures logs which were created before it was flashed, and analyzes the system at the point. How would it capture the logs which are created after it finishes its work? It's a snapshot of the system state that exists prior to flashing it. The logs are created by the inbuilt scripts, and stored in cache partition. Getlogs flashable when flashed, gets the existing logs. It's not a service which keeps running, hence can't get future logs..

Btw, getlogs is just a front end for the end user. You can always collect logs at any point, by making a tar file of /cache/log folder, from adb..

A brief note about the Advanced logging system included in Supernova:

At installation time, all scripts write to the main log file, /cache/log/data2sd.log. The recovery log file is retrieved just before installation ends and saved in cache

At each boot, the main typhon script which encapsulates Sibere's core data2sd functions along with a plethora of additional error checks including e2fsck repair, market cache overflow cleaner etc, logs append to the main log.

Get logs-two varieties. One's Flashable, which makes a tarball of the cache, along with some information about file system. This should be flashed when you suspect an error. You wait for the error to trigger and make sure that you've given time for logs to be written. Then boot to recovery either by safely shutting down (if system can boot), or pulling out battery. Flash the zip, connect device in mass storage mode, and retrieve Data2sdlog.tar.gz.

Another one is a small version of Getlogs which can clean up remnant orphan apks from Cache, when run. It also collects the logs into the tarball.

Hi DZ,

again about your kernel :) did you include "Wifi PM_FAST mode on standby (full wifi speed when screen is OFF)" in your latest build? Didn't see it again in the features list and saw it in siberes last kernel. Maybe another feature that could be added. ;)

Could also maybe increase possible oc frequencies so anyone interested could try and see how fast can his desire go. I used 1267mhz without issues (no freezes, bootloops, etc.). If it's performance we're after here then we should go all in. :D

Btw, I added the link to your site (kernel nightly section) in my signature. I hope that's ok. :)
