Just came back to Supernova after my long-awaited class 6 Sandisk bi-color arrived. The SD by the way rocks, it's the fastest thing I've ever seen and definitely the best card from ALL the classes I've seen. So, on this card, the Supernova not only works, but literally flies, just like a factory stock Gingerbread, only with nice touches like the notification bar and of course, the 1 gb size I now have for internal memory. It's what the Desire should always be.

I come here after having tested literally every single ROM in the last two pages of the Desire Android Development forum, some AOSP, some Sense 2.1, some Sense 3.0, and 3.5. This, is what I come back to after all if I want to have a really reliable and working phone, with space to spare. The best ROM out there for the Desire, at least until we start to see ICS from the Cyanogen guys. Thank you for your work.
[Desire Android Development] idlerpt:
Hello to all,

Congratulations for the ROM, pretty good, and a lot of space, and stable.

I'm experiencing a bit o lag, when loading some apps.

I've got an microsd Kingston 8 Gb, class 4. I was thinking in buying a new one, class 10 , 8 or 16 Gb.

which is the best, and compatible brand that i should buy ?

examples that i've seen :

A-Data micro SDHC 16GB Class 10

16 GB Mobility Kit G2 Kingston Class 10

Verbatim Micro SDHC 16GB Class 10

cheers !
[Desire Android Development] Makinen11:
It's been written thousands of times that the Desire in general and especially ROMs like this with heavy SD usage have compatibility problems with class 10 cards. The best card you can get for your Desire and probably the best among all SD cards is the Sandisk Bi-Color. If you go and buy a class 10 you're asking for trouble. Class 6 is mostly advised.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You shouldnt have 4GB for internal. Reduce it to at least 1.8GB
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
The answer is on the same page ffs. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Skyward:
Hello, been using this ROM for a couple of days and I must say it's fast, but have one problem.

I noticed when I don't use my phone for a couple of hours, when someone calls me the phone has hard time waking up from standby. It starts to ring, then the call hangs and my phone freezes.

I need some advice on that don't know if it's because of low cpu frequency when the screen is turned off or what. I use SanDisk 8Gb class 4 SD card, I have S-OFF with stock hboot, ext4 is 1.4GB in size and when I fresh install ROM the same thing happens.

ROM is great and really would like to keep this from for its big internal memory.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Cant really answer that unless you give more details like:

Do you use SetCPU profiles?

What custom frequencies/freq profiles do you use?

Do you undervolt the kernel?

The stock rom does not have such an issue unless the user has actually modified something in the above list.
[Desire Android Development] aminvishram:
Rosie restarts whenever I press home from a game or skype ...solution plsss....
[Desire Android Development] Skyward:
I don't use SetCPU nor do I use custom freq profiles or anything like that. I just came from a LeeDroid Froyo rom, updated Radio ROM and installed your newest ROM version. Followed everything on your help page that's it.

Also I saw that on your download page there is a new kernel for some camera bug or something (kbase_SN_TPBattEB_OCUV_VDD2WC). Don't know if I should try with that or with Droidzone_BatTPEBfix2WC kernel

EDIT: Now when I finished my last phone call, the screen turned black and the word "android" keeps flashing on the screen. I had to power button + volume down + menu button to restart it
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Your sdcard seems to have errors. The last one is an improperly mounted ext partition.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The additional features for the kernel are listed in the name of the kernel itself, or its description. The legend is also included on the kernel download page on the site. Eg. TP = TrackPad wake, 2WC=2 way cal record

Voltage settings are standard, sysfs interface added to scale voltages if you want, thats all.

FYI...Updated Call recorder app by skvalex is available here
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
I would use this rom , but its so unstable for me
[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
And back to the good ol' trusted Transcend class 6 card. I was getting more and more FC's with the class 10 card. Not very reliable with the Desire.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Helps if you follow instructions ;-)
[Desire Android Development] danhthuan269:
i can't see allow link to download rom?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Cant see what your problem is.
[Desire Android Development] dysje:
Awesome, the new kernel, doesn't look like it support screen brightness fix though? Any way to get the fixed kernel including the brightness fix?
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
It supports brightness levels.
[Desire Android Development] dysje:
Only partially and in a broken way. Previously there was this kernel posted by Droidzone that fixed it, based on the previous kernel that apparently had a little reboot bug. I'm wondering if there's a same brightnesslevel fixed kernel based on the new kernel with the fix.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
As far as I can tell my levels work the same as with any other kernel with levels enabled. Without reboots :D

Why would you tell they work in a broken way?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
@dysje, you're right. The autobrightness patch was not included in the latest kernel series. I'd just forgotten about them, when I rebuilt all kernels from the base.

@erklat, the rom has support but the new kernels did not.. So the sensor would not work properly but the levels would be correct.. What he said by broken way was probably apt. ;)

I've just added a new kernel with AutoBrightness fix..But I have not tested it (I dont have my Desire with me atm)-so if you're brave, use it! Download links on the kernel download page on my site: http://supernova.droidzone.in/?page_id=1083

Removed the Box folder and replaced them with individual links on the site.. I was getting too many questions about what each kernel does! The legend on the site explains all that!
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
I stand corrected then. I flashed it just now, it seems that my screen is dimmer now. I expect no issues with this because last one was rock stable and battery efficient.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire Android Development] jms2367:
I also just flashed the Alpha kernel over the supernova Rom. Does it make a difference since I am already using the Supernova ROM? It seems that the auto brightness is dimmer also.
[Desire Android Development] dysje:
So far so good, the brightness is what it should be and it adjusts to proper levels again too. Everything else seems to work fine too. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good. Make sure you test taking multiple photos in succession, and also confirm that Trackpad wake, battfix etc work and that it's overclockable. Once you compile a kernel, you cant easily confirm these stuff until you look into individual source code (hectic), or try applying a patch again..
[Desire Android Development] dysje:
Trackpad wake: works

Multiple photos: I think so, but my SD card is not the quickest, so there's a bit of a delay between the pictures.

Battfix: No clue on how to test this

Overclock: Haven't tried anything in that direction yet..... I find stock to be the safest option.

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ignore the fact that the last kernel says Ondemand is added. It's Interactive and SmartassV2 that was added..
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
Quick question...if smartass and interactive are added in the second one too...they seem to be pretty the same, so what is actually the difference between the two of them? Just the tun.ko support?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Read between the words, mate..Smartassv2 was added..I very much doubt that Interactive was present in the last build, since I found that the source code was missing from the build dir..HTC never included it in the released souce. Have you tested Wifi connection? You were the one who requested that..at the 13th hour ;)

How to scale voltages?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Introducing a highly experimental kernel branch... will probably be unstable..only for kernel maniacs (testers) ;)

Currently on test: VDD_HAVS

Test it with Incredicontrol and manual voltage scaling..

Only for testers! It will probably crash on boot.. ;) I dont have a device to test it on atm.

Kernel defaults included for reference
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
Yesterday night I flashed the kernel without the tun.ko support, this morning I got a restart 5 mins ago, while the phone was on the desk just charging. Is there some way I can produce data about it so that it will help you find out why?

Until now Lightsensor seems to work fine. WiFi too.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
adb shell
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg

Should be done immediately after the reboot..Otherwise it will just get overwritten by newer kernel message.

If there's a bug, only the alpha base will be having it. So those using the stable kernels are safe.

Questions:

HTC Charger?

Meddled with CPU freq/voltages?

[Desire Android Development] abokamel:
Arabic Version for SuperNova Xtreme

Here's the Arabic version [RTL & Full Arabic Interface 'if you choose Arabic Country] of the GREAT ROM, I've made the Arabic version using Madmack's Arabizing script 'the last one' [thanks to him], and injected the files into the ROM's zip and tested it, and it works flawlessly.

Please post it to the first post.

http://www.filesonic.com/file/4278834595/081111_AR_Supernova_2.4.0.0_signed.zip
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'll PM you a temporary ftp password..please upload to the main site. Thanks for this.
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
Yup, HTC charger.

Didn't change voltage. Frequency is the same, set ondemand in setcpu, wasn't changed either.

Kernel messages...if you mean the adb you talked before, don't have anything as I just came back home and read your post.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Wait till it reboots again. Immediately connect via adb and run those commands..Better yet, switch to a stable kernel and stay there..
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Hi Droidzone! I have flashed the kernel of 2 December, but quite often I get both wi-fi and mobile internet indicators (see attached photo) on at the same time. Also, when I switch off both wi-fi and mobile internet, the mobile internet indicator is still on (even if the traffic is actually off). Why do you reckon is that happening?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmm..it uses lowered Wifi threshold to prevent undue disconnections..maybe that's the reason. I'll try to get logs when my Desire's back.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
35 people have downloaded the alpha kernel and 4, the nightly build..Any issues similar to what Alxnks or UltimateGoblin reported? Anything else?
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Actually the same like UltimateGoblin.. But only for a short time..

Overall.. Nice, fast and stable kernel..

Thanks dz..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks, Swemoza..Do you have the filename of the kernel you tried?
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
kbase_EBfixTP2WCLS_WiFiFix_171211_203621.zip

That one..
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Maybe you are right..

It is because you lowered wifi threshold..

Because it happened when im in public area and the wifi signal is low..

But i still not try with good wifi signal..

Maybe tomorrow in the office..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Great, thanks guys..I've added polls on the site near the download links to keep track of kernel feedback. Dont forget to use those to report issues when you've tested them.
[Desire Android Development] Steveh8204:
Ive installed this ROM but think I need a faster memory card.

What is the drill for installing a new card? Do I just do a factory wipe and then put the new card in and it gets picked up and installed with A2SD automatically?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
See FAQ #3
[Desire Android Development] jms2367:
i have been testing the new alpha kernel with the smartass governor. so far i haven't experienced any issues but i have not done any overcloking or undervolting.
[Desire Android Development] Steveh8204:
Where are these FAQs? any chance of a link I cant seem to find them.

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
[*] camera works, did not test it extensively as the last time, but multiple shots didn't result in reboot.

[*] how to test battfix? When I woke up this morning there was a green led on, phone showed it was on 99%. I unplugged it, and used it to find out it was stuck on 99% for more than a 3,5h. My battery usage monitor also didn't work for that period. Now it is probably going to die at 10%. Charging pattern in stats looked like a left side of the Gauss curve all the way, not like on aosp roms where it charges to 90 and 90-100 is almost angled at 90°. You think wiping battery stats could solve that? I don't recall that I ever saw 0% on any Gingerbread sense roms.

[*]UVOC was present in the kernel from December 4th also? I thought it was main culprit for instability. Kudos on solving that.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
I had that issue while standing at 1m from the wi-fi router. :-\

It is kind of strange, though, because now everything's back to normal. Looks really like a weird weird bug :D

Overall, anyway, I confirm that the kernel is rock stable :)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Let's wait and see.. I've increased the voltage for all frequencies from what snq/bananacakes set, and relegated the task of setting low values to the user. In fact, the voltages for stock frequencies is stock voltages (with an option of manual undervolting), and that of overclocked frequencies is undervolted. There may still be issues I missed though..

The battfix code itself trickle charges below 99%, so 99% may be the value it stays on for the most time. Though it's expected to go up to 100% and then come down to 99% at which point it starts charging again. I'll keep this in mind when I get back my Desire after service.

Though UV was supposedly added in the Dec 4 kernels, it was incompletely incomplemented. Recently HAVS was added in the nightly so I'm bracing myself for any issues. :)
[Desire Android Development] andy905:
I flashed the Dalvik Optimiser and problem solved. Many thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
I started getting many WiFi disconnections even when I was 30cm away from my router (i didn't get the 3g icon on since I have turned off mobile internet). I went back to one of your older kernels (no o/c, no lightsensor fix, etc) thinking the problem would be solved. Unfortunately, even with this kernel, the WiFi disconnections continued. The router is fine as my laptops and other smartphones don't have any problem. So...now what?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, the GB kernel's Wifi driver is not perfect. It definitely is bad at signal reception compared to Froyo..There's a limit to which I can spend time on it to solve this, and I cant do it alone. If there were guys like snq- around...

Anyway, the point is, if it's too irksome for you, consider going back to Froyo..StarBurst is perfect.

Edit: I just re-read the 30cm part..I believe your hardware is faulty if that's true..I had no issues from across 3 walls and 25m from my Belkin G wireless router.. Definitely have it checked in service.
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
the thing is that i didnt have this problem all this time with supernova or with your other kernels (or even the stock HTC GB). it probably is something the new kernel caused and flashing again the previous stable didnt manage to solve it :(

anyway, i am now waiting for my new microsd card to arrive one of these days (and also my SE Xperia Neo V will be arriving tomorrow). so i will probably flash the rom again and see how it goes and if the problem persists i will try some other one. i have to test the desire with some roms and decide which of the two phones i will be keeping.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
A kernel will not cause any permanent hardware issue in your system. If you suspect an issue with my kernel, flash another one from someone else.
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
Sorry for my noob question Droid, I flash some days ago this http://supernova.droidzone.in/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=84 Iand I could manage with daemon both OC and UV. This morning I flashed this http://supernova.droidzone.in/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=87

What you get:

SmartAss v2 governor

Interactive Governors

Tun.ko support

WifiFix

Tobi/snq Lightsensor fix

Overclock / Undervolt support

VDD Levels

but I can't manage OC and UV anymore. Also Incredicontrol isn't worth because says my kernel doesn't support HAVS or SVS. What I'm doing wrong?

Other than that so far so good.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, that kernel isnt built to interact with those apps. Still manually 'echoing' the values to the kernel ought to work. See my FAQ on site for info as to how to do that.

If you want to use those apps to control voltage, try the latest nightly kernel. And tell me if Demon and Incredi works on that.
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
Thanks for your quick answer. just flashed nightly kernel. Now I can set 128000 min (while before I could only 245000) but max is 998400, so no OC and again I can't UV.

Anyway what is worth is to check battery drain and general performance. I'll do. Thank u
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Right. Thanks. That's the sort of feedback I require. Can you try the latest nightly uploaded just now and see whether it addresses those issues raised?
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
Sorry, if you mean KB_191211_233152 it has the same issues. When you want and have time to spend I'll test a new one. :)
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
i might have found what the problem is in mine. during the long hours i spend at hospital, i kept flashing kernels (droidzone ones) in order to fix the problem. but after a while i noticed that no matter which kernel i flash, even though at recovery it says that the kernel was flashed succesfully, when i go to settings for kernel i get always this: 2.6.35.10_EBfixTP2WCLS_WiFiFixSA2 droidozone@supernova #6 Sat Dec 17 21:26:16 IST 2011. I repeat, whichever kernel i (succesfully flash) i always get the same info in settings and also in setcpu (again no matter which kernel i have flashed) is not overcloackable etc.

very strange, isnt it?? what may be wrong? apart from total wipe and reinstallation of the rom, is there anything else i can do about it?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Very strange..The recovery message saying it's successful is not accurate. After flashing a kernel, use 4ext's "copy recovery.log to sdcard" option and upload that log.

If the latest nightly still doesnt work with apps, I'm going to hold off further work on this till I have more spare time.
[Desire Android Development] jms2367:
For my case, I have flashed a couple of your kernels already and the software info reflects the correct kernel I have flashed. I am currenlty using the kernel with the smartass and interactive governors.

Regards.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Great..I hope that other than the fact that it doesnt overclock and cant interact with Demon/Incredi, there are no stability issues for anyone...Has anyone tried with SetCPU and manual undervolting by sending echo commands?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Never mind all that..It doesnt seem to be a kernel problem but something specific on your device. Others have reported no such issues at all.
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
this has to be clarified though. when you say specific to my device do you mean a hardware problem (which is highly unlikely) or a software problem? because all the software currently on it is made by you.

also..if it is a hardware problem, it shouldnt be fixed when i will reinstall everything, while if it is fixed with reinstallation, then it is a software problem. right?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's simple mate..If it's specific to my rom or kernel, it has to affect everyone who's running my rom and kernel, which is hundreds of people (3780 downloads last time I checked). I've no idea about what's going on your device, but it's nothing in my software. I have a lot of things going on at home atm and I have to prioritise my time on the really relevant rom specific things.
[Desire Android Development] Alxnks:
well, as i said, i spend too much time at a hospital so i have to prioritise my time too and cannot waste time with kernels issues. i will reinstall everything when i get the time and then we will see if it is a hardware (specific for my device) or software problem of the rom and kernels ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm stopping work on kernel nightlies.
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
Droid, just finished playing homerun battle 3d I got the first reboot with nightly kernel. I don't have a logcat, may current widget log be worth? yesterday evening I made a 18 min phone call and % decreased from 30 to 20. Last but not least after a full nite recharge, it seems more battery friendly in sleeping mode than the first smartass2 of 17 dic.

Hope this can help u
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I've removed kernel nightlies from the site as two people have reported a reboot issue.
[Desire Android Development] macondo62:
I am one of them :)
[Desire Android Development] MisaNov:
restore from titanium

Hi,

just installed Supernova on my Desire, mainly because of low memory. Looks nice!

One stupid question. Is it possible to restore contacts, sms, mms, wifi passwords, angry birds levels ;-), etc. from Titanium Backup? Was a2.2 and now it is a2.3. I think it is not possible, so?

Thanks for reply anyway.

Michal
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Angry birds can certainly be restored. That doesn't go for system apps, as I always steered away from restoring them as imho - it's just begging for problems.
[Desire Android Development] Opperpanter:
Hello,

What is the recommended way to remove Facebook? I removed Facebook apk and HTCFacebook apk with root explorer, but the market keeps installing updates for Facebook.

thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yea, best way imho is to backup in any other 2.2 rom with Titanium, install StarBurst, restore everything there...then install Supernova over StarBurst without a wipe. :) My Desire's been gone since Dec 5th, and I miss it! Going to get a brand new Desire back from HTC...Wondering if I should sell it and move on :p
[Desire Android Development] MisaNov:
Thanks so much. I'm going to do it!
