Installation issues? Help us help you..

For anyone with issues installing the Rom:

http://supernova.droidzone.in/?page_id=137

Preview of Form:

Copy the entire form from the site, fill it out as detailed as you can. In addition, if you get stuck during installation, you should let the phone hang for upto 20 mins. Then, pull the battery, and restart into Recovery mode. Without wiping anything, immediately flash the Getlogs tool. Once Getlogs is finished, log files will be produced in /sdcard/Data2SDlog.tar.gz. You should attach this file to a new post, along with the filled out form above and any additional details.

You can download the flashable Getlogs tool from here:

http://droidzone.in/roms/index.php?dir=SuperNova/Additional/&download=GetLogsv8.zip If this link does not work, the latest Getlogs can be found on the site.

An additional log (OPTIONAL) extremely useful for finding out what went wrong is an adb logcat. If you would like to read about how to create one, see the following link:

Note that flashing the latest Typhon beta (available on my Box.net account here) means you dont have to worry about creating manual adb logs. The highly intelligent script will do that, you lazy flash-maniacs (Sibere's expression :) )

Ok,thank you very much.
[Desire Android Development] Psyco-Man:
Thanks droidzone for your work on GB.

Meanwhile i will stay on starburst rom but i know your release will be the best GB Rom for our Desire and if it is beta i will give it a try.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks..

Though I have called it a beta, it is (at least) as stable as any other release based on the same software..

Now if we had a good ext4 GB kernel..Where's snq and Sibere??? :)
[Desire Android Development] johno168:
Holy S**T F**k, this looks like a..... SUPERNOVA. Now i can't decide what to use. LeeDroid or SUPERNOVA?!?! Both look awesome and i can't tell the differences.

Please Help!!!

Cant download RoM and Installer's from site, says I have to be logged in??

Can you post link to your dropbox DZ?
[Desire Android Development] bakaq:
Hi Droidzone,

Successfully installed your ROM and happy when looking at the Internal storage:D

If I make Nand backup via CWM for your Data2SD ROM, and flash some other custom ROM using A2SD+ (either on ext3/4), will it be normal restore from nand backup with CWM for your ROM or it involves some other method/steps?

Appreciate your guide on the matter.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I moved them to the site. There's a link on the site to register. Don't worry.. There won't be spam.. It's to keep track of the number of unique downloads.

[Desire Android Development] imopen:
Droidzone, Lee in his latest rom (3.0.4) released fix for language support in HTC Sense... I suppose for european too. It would be nice in Supernova too, I'm waiting for italian language to migrate from Starburst :D

As usual no pressure, you are doing a great work ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Believe me, I'd like to add mods and language packs. But I'm staying at a hostel for studies, and I don't have a computer with me. Supernova was made within the three days that I was home for Easter holidays. I won't be having holidays for quite some time, so can't work on the rom. The recent data2sd mods based on sibere's code were based on starburst and modified slightly on my phone (which is tough)

So, Supernova won't be able to compete with roms built by people with such commitment to work, like Lee or Neo. I'm sure that these two roms would be more usable for your daily life. As Sibere said, Supernova is a concept showcase for Data2sd until the ota is released by htc.

Starburst is and will continue to be one of the best and most usable roms around here.

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Ok thanks mate, ill sort that later on :-)
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
Don't worry, I used to be a student some times ago, I understand pretty well ;)

[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
All downloads done :) just doing all boring backup's :( lol
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
DZ installed Rom all went fine, now after first reboot I cant boot into recovery?
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Strange had to power off phone then pull battery out, then try again and it worked now? when I was powering off phone it seemed to just be puting it to sleep.

EDIT

Think I found what it was, in settings/applications you have fast boot that was switched on :)

Question DZ dont GB have that tv switching screen of feature? how you get it?
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Can i ask did you come from Starburst?

If so, when reinstalling apps etc.. did you use Titanium?.. And did you just restore missing apps and settings or is that not possible?

Can i ask what your method was? :o

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Done full backup saved all SD to pc, and backup apps with Titanium. Then booted pc with Gparted and done complete format of both fat32 and ext4. then copy all files back to SD and installed rom from recovery, booted rom and then restart and install the data2sd installer :)

Then restored all apps again with Titanium
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Is your ext partition bigger than 2GB? Otherwise you have to make it smaller
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
You shouldn't save any settings on first boot, just skip all that and then install data2sd, once you boot backup then save all setting. droidzone will probaly be better of reading the log file.
[Desire Android Development] Zeljko1234:
No, its 1.3GB. I read instruction many times today :)

I tried, skipped everything. 10 minutes ago flashed Data2SDInstaller_theme_X12E_GB and green HTC is still on display...
[Desire Android Development] Iceberger:
Not receiving SMS

I'm still cant receive SMS. Only send ones

In setcpu i can only choose from userspace, ondemand and performance.

Do you have to add some lines to your data2sd script to activate the other kernel modules?
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
I can send and receive sms and calls fine, you using latest radio?
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Apparently I don't need Unrevoked to flash it. According to what the thread says

"4EXTRecovery v2.1.3 RC2 -> Download to flash through HBOOT. Put it onto your sdcard, rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" and boot into bootloader"

...there should be no need to use unrevoked, if I understand well? I just put this file in the SD card, press Vol down+power and.... something should happen ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You'll understand when you try that out.. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
I've upgraded from Supernova 2.0.2.0 to 2.1.0.0 and now I'm experiencing a bit of lag. The previous version was perfect, though. I've read the changelog for Supernova 2.1.0.0 and it says:

I don't know if that's what it's causing the lag but I would like to try other values. How can I toggle the read ahead value?

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] adacho1988:
Try the latest kernel from snq, cause version in Supernova 2.1.0.0 (110919) has issues sometimes and freezez. The newest version is 110923.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
See /system/etc/init.d/01data

Do a textsearch for readahead=
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
From the time I first released the roms, kernels have been a source of headaches for me. Unfortunately for getting prefect kernels it takes time. Sibere was the first one to make a kernel, and imho his battfix kernel is very stable for me. But I use a special version which he made for me, which had no over clocking at all.. Unlike you flashmaniacs :) I prefer stability at the cost of a little drop in performance. I have myself compiled a stock kernel which doesn't have any additions at all (but I find it extremely stable).. I'll share these if someone wants them
[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
First of all, thank you adacho1988 and Droidzone for your answers.

I think I'm another of those weird guys who prefer stability and default settings :p. I'm interested in your kernel, Droidzone (or any other close to stock kernel you can recommend). I would be grateful if you could share it.

By the way, the moment I return home I will donate. You've earned it.
[Desire Android Development] l_themis:
I'd also like to have this kernel. Please share it....

Many thanks
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Ok, added it to the Download links page

Sibere's Battfix NoOC Kernel

It's towards the end of the page, before Radio
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Hello Droidzone,

i'm experiencing spontanious reboots and freezes using latest Supernova Rom. No matter what i'm doing, just reboots. Have run GetLogs, here you are.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Not needed. Apparently its a kernel issue, which is what we've been talking about in the last few posts. Flash the uploaded kernel and you should be good to go. Note that rarely Data2sd may be corrupted during reboots and if that is the case, the reboots will persist. Try anyway and make a full titanium backup at the earliest
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Btw...there seems to be an absolute proliferation of "me-too" roms! Dont even know if there's a difference between each uploaded version..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Oh, havent read all the posts, flashing updated kernel. Thanks for this quick support!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Just added...

Droidzone's Stock NonOverclocked Kernel with Two-way Call recording (No Battfix)

Install the skvalex call rec app for best results (Available as trial fro XDA) and from the Market
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
If it has the 2 way patch, it is not stock anymore ;)

Sent from my HTC Desire with DATA2SD
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
True... ;) That's why I gave them your kernel...But then with Battfix, that isnt stock either!! ;)
[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
I've installed this kernel but WiFi doesn't seem to work. The option to activate it just says "Error". Any advice?

I've flashed the kernel on top of Supernova 2.1.0.0.

I see this message in the logs:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Remove old bcm4329 and try flashing module again? I hope I didn't upload the wrong one. If it still didn't work, use Sibere's kernel
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Just had a freeze while typing in stock SMS app with latest snq kernel 110923. Had to pull the battery to regain control.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
To be frank, snq's kernel seems work in progress. I posted two non-overclocked kernels. Flash one of them
[Desire Android Development] Naproxeno:
I got it to work by first flashing Sibere's kernel and then Droidzone's. It seems the zip file for the latter is quite smaller. Maybe it doesn't contain the bcm4329 module?

By the way, it seems that with these kernels I barely get lag.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Hi Droidzone! The reinstall went smoothly, now I am up and running! I have not touched anything yet, but the superuser app needs to update the binary in order to remember allowed permissions to applications (such as TB). Well, I try to update the binary (I have the version 2.3.2-efgh of the binary and the version 3.0 of the application), I grant the app itself root permission to update the binary (gaining root access...okay!) and at the next step (remounting /system as rw...) it says "okay!" in red, and the message "Update failed. Try again?" appears.

I've tried many times. SuperNova is stock 2.1.0.0, I haven't flashed anything else, I swear!! What can I do?

Link for reference: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

(Sorry again for this new problem...)
[Desire Android Development] stickyfinger:
Desire freezes on incoming calls

First of all I've to thank droidzone for the good work. I really like to keep SUPERNOVA ROM on my Desire and use the big internal A2SD Storage. But although installation went like a charm and I can use all the apps and WLAN/3G functionalitites normally and stable I face severe issues on incoming calls.

Once in a while my device freezes with the face of the caller in the display. Only a withdrawal of the battery can stop the freeze. The strange thing is, that this doesn't happen with every call. But it is too regularly to accept it. I already updated my radio to the latest version with no effect.

Does anyone face a similar problem and knows how to fix it? Thanx a lot in advance.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
I think I have found an explanation for this...

Taken from http://androidsu.com/

I don't feel comfortable in downloading ROM Manager, but apparently it represents the only solution to overcome the problem, as I cannot go S-Off now... What do you think? Should I install ROM Manager, try to update SuperUser and then delete ROM Manager? Should that do the trick? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I read the quote and I haven't done the "silly thing" they've noted. Try the following (adb or terminal) and note the output:

su

This should make Superuser pop up and ask for permissions (if done from term)

ls -l /system/bin/su

busybox

echo $PATH

I'll have to know the output verbose to see what's wrong with your setup. Rest assured that it's not a Rom issue!

For those complaining of freezes, kindly take a minute to read the last two pages!

Someone pls thank me once... I dont like the number 666... ;) Just joking ofc

Edit: Btw Su on my phone says" su is already up-to-date"
[Desire Android Development] VK7HSE:
I've just flashed the suggested kernel (20110923) and have purposely set the overclock to maximum on the smartassV2 as I had a feeling that the freeze issue could be in the frequency scaling (?) Anyway I'll experiment and post anything that may be of use/help ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Good, let me know...I have to admit that I have had freezes myself even without OC, but its tough to narrow down the issue as I have been having issues with my new sdcard for the last couple of weeks, and finally got tired and have given Ebay a notice for legal action (they refused to replace it).. I have taken a calculated risk and ordered a Class 10 Transcend..
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Anyway, stability update for Supernova is on the download links page now.. It is actually one of my "stock" kernels, except that it has Callrec and Sibere's battfix, both of which I need. Those of who like more performance intensive kernels can watch Sibere's, Bananacakes', and snq-'s kernel pages and flash whichever ones you like. Note that because of the rapidity with which kernel devs post releases, some of them may be unstable..

For safety's sake, I recommend that you use one of the non-OC kernels I've posted..I use these and can vouch for their stability...Note that there is no trackpad-to-wake in these kernels
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'm afraid I'm at a loss here..Can find nothing at a fault..Did you see what maadmax posted about fixing su problems? Maybe you have a version of his recovery that has that issue? Try another version or RMD recovery for a while?
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
I have CWM as recovery... :-\ It is not Madmaxx' work...

What do you think? Wipe and reinstall? I can afford to do it now, as I have just installed the ROM ;-)
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
SOLVED! :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
How?
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
The easy way... I had updated the application to version 3.0, so all I needed to do was deleting the updates. Now I'm back to 2.3.6.3 and all goes well :) Wanna taste my (ex) problem? Just update the app ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Mine says su is already updated... ;)
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
You have to go find it in the market ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Well, done that...Still cant reproduce your issue
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
I don't know what to say!! I tried again to update but I receive the same error: the app says I need to update the binary, it downloads it but cannot install it O_o

Seems as if we're running two different ROMs... (and mine is worse than yours! :D )
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Dont worry...I dont have another secret Rom.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
I really would like to, but trackpad-to-wake is essential ;) :p
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'll ask Tristan if he knows where to add the code.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Hi Droidzone! I just want to add myself to the list of those who had stability issues with the Supernova 2.1.0.0 kernel. I have just flashed the stability patch, but I have seen no changes neither in the kernel (it's still 2.6.35.14-snq-110919 mon sep 19 20:00:32) nor in the version of supernova (I thought it might show up as 2.1.0.1, as your site indicates). I can trackpad awake too! Well, it doesn't matter... The important thing is that the battfix does his job, and I'm confident about it ;)

---UPDATE---

After flashing the stability patch, wifi has stopped working. It says "error" when it should say "enabled" or "disabled".

I have still got the stock radio version, 5.11, because it works very well... or at least it did.

BTW, where's the Sense calculator? I liked it, it was simple and very easy to use!
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Same Problem for me, WIFI stopped working after stability patch, also no new Kernel shown in system information.

What to do now? :(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Simple. Flash Sibere's kernel.. After all, i'm new to kernels..he's a kernel dev.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Reboot in recovery, mount /system, delete all modules in lib/modules (.ko files), flash the correct kernel, reboot.
[Desire Android Development] UltimateGoblin:
Thanks Sibere for the quick solution :-) Can you just explain that to a total newbie? I have CWM 2.5.0.7 and a pc with Windows. Can I do all the steps you wrote from within the recovery?
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
No probs.

Reboot into recovery, start an adb shell

type:

mount /system

cd /system/lib/modules

rm *

exit

your modules directory will then be empty

then flash one of the "stability" kernels offered by Droidzone.

Alternatively you can try also one of those posted below.

1st is stock (restarted from scratch based on HTC sources) +

* battfix (Trickle charge)

* Wifi enabled to connect to -108db

* Light Sensor levels tweak

* Interactive CPU governor added and set as default.

* Deadline I/O as default

No Overclock for

stability

. I just added those essentials (for me) tweaks but tried to keep kernel as close as possible to stock. Those tweaks don't involve major changes in code.

2nd kernel: added UV kernel too. Other mods same as above. SVS, no interface, to keep kernel as clean as possible for stability.

3rd kernel: Added VDD_levels interface. Works with IncrediControl. Available voltages range: 800mV - 1400mV

4th kernel: Added Trackpad Wake.

5th kernel: Same as above but not undervolted. You'll have to undervolt it manually with IncrediControl. This kernel is here just in case the UV kernel (2nd-4th) doesn't boot nicely.

6th kernel: Same as 5th + more stuff added : 2 minor tweaks and a patch.

* Lowered CPU scheduler granularity for a better interactivity.

* OC video chip from 80MHz to 83MHz for more FPS in video capture.

* 2 Way call recording patch. (2WC)

7th kernel: Same as above +

* GPU+ (Video allocate uncached buffers)

* Writeback do UNinterruptible sleep in balance_dirty_pages()

8th kernel: Same a 7th + Wifi PM_FAST mode on standby (full wifi speed when screen is OFF)

Awesome!! :-D Thank you very much, Sibere, I'll try that out as soon as I reach home! :-)
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
I flashed latest sibere's kernel and everything is working now, we'll see if any freezes or reboots occur. I'll report any issues.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
If it's stable, I'll add Undervolt to it. ATM it is stock (so stuck@1300mV unfortunately).

UV is adding a bit more code to kernel.
