The Man

You are the man. Thank you. I got two Desires for my kids (want them to have Android device without data so they can play games) bought Telus model for AT&T. IMEI not in AT&Ts database, so they will not see a smartphone (thus no data.) Thank you again.

[Desire Android Development] The Prince1:
Thank you mate for your responce.

So, whats this radio going to improve?
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Radio is for all your phones reception. Network signals, WiFi, etc. So theoretically it should improve signal reception.
[Desire Android Development] The Prince1:
Thats clear thank you.

But what if try it and something wrong happened, can I roll back some how to the old radio?
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
You flash your old radio back. Usually, the radio makes a minor difference.
[Desire Android Development] The Prince1:
Then whats the different between the radio and the kernal?

I bieleve both improve the signals> isn't?
[Desire Android Development] Goneeuro:
Is the droidzone site down? It wont load for me.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The site hasnt been down for the past 24 hours. If you're still facing this issue, let me know your IP address.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
There's no easy way to explain everything regarding this. What is relevant to your understanding is that a radio is a manufacturer released binary which is a software which interfaces with the baseband processor chip that controls the interaction of signals with the cellphone tower. Radios are usually beyond the realm of most developers on XDA.

Kernels on the other hand are GPL licensed linux software, which is customized for Android OS. When your phone boots, it loads kernel level driver responsible for proper functioning of everything on your phone ranging from Wifi, bluetooth, LEDs, Sound..

Radios dont "improve" your signals. They are essential software without which your phone cannot communicate. Flash a wrong radio, and in many cases you can brick your phone. On the same note, flashing a radio is usually unnecessary. Just because a newer radio is released, doesnt mean it has any kind of advantage over the one currently on your phone. Kernels are another thing altogether. They are highly programmable by custom kernel developers, and can have "tweaks" for many things like turning your hardbutton LEDs off, inreasing sound volume by a level impossible by OS software alone, activating call recording features on the Desire, power saving etc.

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
As Erklat mentioned, you might try rephrasing your questions with proper grammar and spelling if you want to be taken seriously.

About keyboard-AFAIK, it's the stock HTC keyboard, htc_ime.apk or something similiar. Go into system/apps and check.

@'Those who keep asking about updates without bothering to search': Unless HTC decides to release an official update for Desire, there wont be a newer version of this Rom. If you bother to read through the Changelogs, you'd understand that it's the underlying scripts that make a difference in this rom. The rom itself is close to stock HTC Rom with a collection of smali edits for tweaks. It's no port, hence you arent going to get any higher Sense or Android versions. The other difference is the kernel, which incorporates core additions from a lot of other developers. Since I dont play around with every minor modification that happens to Linux kernels, it's relatively stabler than some other common kernels.

Do SD Cards go "bad"???

Droidzone,

first some praise from a very satisfied user with a Supernova ROM usage of at least 2 years: This is a marvellous ROM, the best that's available for the old Desire. The ROM is rock solid and surely up to 24/7 use. You extended the shelf live of my Desire for years! I am still extremely satisfied with it and will keep it, provided the hardware will not die on me.

For the last 2 month, I have been experiencing random freezes and reboots, sometimes up to 3 per day, sometimes the Desire works flawlessly for a week. Sometimes the screen stayed on, sometimes the Desire was eating up the battery like hell, sometimes it died quietly. There are no specific tasks / apps that I could pinpoint, but I got the impression that freezes are more probable when I am in areas with weak GSM signal or when the GPS is turned on. A few days ago, the phone even froze in the middle of a call...

More than once I asked myself if I canged something considerable to make the Desire so unstable. I am updating my installed apps (some 120 thanks to the Supernova ROM ;) once or twice a week. I even downgraded some system level apps (e.g. Llama) to a previous version that had worked without problems. I checked both file systems on the SD card, I rebuild the Dalvik cache with your script and numerous other things I already forgot. Unfortunately, the frequent frezes stayed.

Thinking of the hardware of the Desire and the special requirements the ROM poses on the SD card, I am tempted to think (clutching at straws) that the SD card might have gone slightly "bad". I am still using my "old" A-DATA 32 GB Class 4 SD card. The card has been in use for the last 2 years and I have never had any poblems with it.

Before I buy a new SD card and copy everything over I would like to ask you the following questions in order to diagnose the problem in depth:

Is it possible that an SD card goes bad / weak?

Might any of the log fils provide some hints/help?

Which log files are the best to check?

Is this the end of my Desire with your marvellous ROM?

Device details:

ROM: SuperNova 2.4.0.0

Kernel: 2.6.35.10_fastcharge_WifiSensorplus_geb8e182-dirty droidzone@shell-24007 #7

Build: iData2SD Renaissance Edition X8E Droidzone

Radio: 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Thanks again for your excellent work!

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
I never managed to get any love between my sd card and Supernova, but would use only DZ kernels on other roms based on GB release.

Now that you mentioned freezes in relation to weak signal, I experienced something similar so to speak - is it August 31st release rebuilt kernel from Droidzone's site?
[Desire Android Development] avrichter:
Erklat,

as far as I can tell I flashed the kernel with the filename kbase_WifiSensorplus_180612_161153.zip. I downloaded the file directly from DZs site. Haven't had any problems with it until recently so I think that this is not a kernel based poblem.

As I said, it is just a feeling that freezes are more frequent when the signal is not optimal. Right now I am in the countryside and I only have GSM Edge connectivity and I am forced to pull the battery more often than within the city limits.

Best regards

[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Try reinstalling the rom. If it still does the same thing, then it might be your sd-card's fault.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, sdcards can definitely get damaged. Flash memory is well known to deteriorate over time. I guess that surface tests of the partitions using write/read tests like e2fsck can detect incipient issues. The easiest way to diagnose would be to make a full nandroid backup and swap out cards and test with new tasks. If your issues can be reproduced with the new card, obviously it isnt a card issue. A sign of sdcard issues is random reboots while using the camera.

However in many cases freezes may be due to corrupt data files. Corruption is known to occur when you do unclean reboots without clean unmounts of partitions, such as the reboots from the menu. In contrast to the reboots from Windows (for example), a reboot from HTC Sense esp using the 3 way power menu invariably tends to create data corruption over time, probably like cross linked files. The situation may be compounded by flash memory deterioration. In many cases, you can solve the issues by formatting everything and reinstalling from scratch. To an extent, my Dalvik cleaner script too may help.

A card that's been in use for 2 years is a good candidate for flash memory issues. However when you test with a new card, you may again have issues because Ext2sd is not compatible with all sdcards.

Some recoveries have card check and repair utilities (e2fsck) built in. However I'd advise using Linux based e2fsck.

About freezes occuring in low signal areas, I've read talk on this in the Q/A section, however personally I havent experienced it and cant gauge its authenticity.
[Desire Android Development] obones:
Hello,

First of all, many thanks for this ROM, it's great that my Desire is now capable of having so much more memory.

I have been using it for a few months now without a glitch but since yesterday I'm having a big issue.

Basically, I had some applications crashing upon activating (Handcent SMS) for instance, so I rebooted the phone.

And now, it has lost all its configuration, I'm back to what it was when first flashed.

I then ran Titanium backup that says the phone has changed its id.

Moreover, when I use a root capable file explorer to have a look at /data, the folder is completely empty.

I suspect the /data folder not being mounted properly on boot, but is there a log somewhere that I could read to find out more about the error?

Thanks for any help.

Hey droidzone..

Discovered some of your tutorials, seems you know a thing or two about kernel development.. Would you be interested to help port kernel 3 for the desire..?

[Desire Android Development] avrichter:
RE: Do SD Cards go "bad"???

OK I will give it a try and get a new SD card. Hopefully the new card is compatible with my Desire, its always a gamble, especially with 32GB cards...

I tried your script as well, but the problem stayed. I always use the shutdown option, no quick reboot or something like that. The problem with the unclean unmount of the file systems is obvious when it comes to a frozen phone, since you will have to pull the battery and thats makes the shutown rather quick and dirty with regard to the file systems. When I am back home, I will put the SD card into my Linux laptop and give it a thorough check.

As I said, it is a feeling that more often than not, a freeze will occur in a low signal area. I might be wrong as well.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I will give it a try and I will post the results in this thread.

All the best

How can I install the app in the phone? Tks for any suggestions...

RE: Do SD Cards go "bad"???

I tried a new SD card and this has solved all my problems. No reboots, no freezes and a the user experience is back :o

So the answer to the question "Do SD Cards go "bad"???" is: Yes they do, especially in a 24/7 environment!

I bought a "noname" SD card class 6 with 32 GB and reformatted the card according to the spec. I did a nandroid backup with the old card, copied the FAT partition from the old card to the new card and rebooted the phone with the new card. Then I restored the sd-ext partition from the nandroid backup and off I went :cool: The speed of the Desire improved notabely compared to the old card so I am happy again!

Droidzone, thanks again for this ROM, your patience and all your special cooked kernels!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, that works. A better method would be to use the Google Play installer on my site, replace the apk in it with the latest one from XDA and flash it. The script in that zip would remove the old version and clean up the remnant data as well.

Cool, enjoy! :)
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
For me this ROM is kinda unusable, opening apps takes ages also for example after restoring app in TitaniumBackup im getting like 5-10sec freeze and im unable to do anything..

But it might be my SD dying it's about 2 years old already. :p (class 10 though)
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
I have class 10 also and the same symptoms as you do. I believe that it probably wouldn't work with another card though as I reckon some devices simply have 'bad' controllers and you can't remedy that. I remember having certified 600MHz TCCD ram back in the day when A64 was top of the line. You couldn't get it to work at rated speed while it booted straight up at my friends (he had a better core tho). Dodgy memory controller. In the end I wasted my money on expensive ram when I could spend it elsewhere.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
No no, actually it happens only with this ROM.

I have no such issues with AOSP / other Sense ROM's i tried (and i tried most of them :silly:), i think there might be something wrong with the sibere data2sd script..

Thats why it's hard to believe for me that my SD is dying. :good:

[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Wait for DroidZone's website to come back. You can download it from there.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's back. I apologize for the downtime. The site just received SSL security, and I had to make a couple of changes.

I made a few modifications to the Kernel database. The page listing each kernel now lists the entire configuration of the kernel, so you can read what you're getting, before you download.
[Desire Android Development] EddieN:
My ROM install is running the Feb 02 release of your kernel, but it is incompatible with the Nexus One Battery Calibrator app (no values show up in the app). Are the latest versions of your kernel (April 24th release) compatible with the Nexus One Battery Calibrator app?

However, I just noticed that the People app crashes a few seconds after I launch it. A message appears saying that the process com.android.htccontacts ended unexpectedly and the app FC.

How can I solve this? I was trying to re-install the apk from the SDcard but cant pinpoint it in the ROM zip to extract the apk. Can anyone help, please?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I daresay you have some data errors. Make backups-both 4ext based, and Titanium backup, and run the Dalvik cleaner.
[Desire Android Development] D4Dpower:
Hi,

Today, after reading the above reply I ran a Titanium backup and before doing a 4ext backup I checked the app and it was working fine (??).

I then ran a dalvik cache wipe and afterwards I did the 4ext backup (I know it should have been the other way around but I'm still so green in this game...). Concluding: it is fine.

But now I noticed another issue (which I had before but at the time didn't identify the issue correctly): I noticed that after long pressing the power button and selecting turning off the phone I couldn't boot into recovery and had to take out the battery to do so. This is because apparently selecting turn off the phone just put into hibernation and doesn't really turn it off. Is this a known issue and there is a fix or is this only my case?
