From what I have read about this issue with SMS, it seems that the use of "non standard characters" cause the SMS to change to a extended character set, which reduces the SMS length 70 characters, to compensate the additional information that is needed in that extended set.

This is a big problem for me because I write SMS in Spanish and all the accents are part of the extended character set.

When I was using Sense on Windows Mobile there was an option to avoid the use of the extended character set and this way the SMS length was always 160 characters (but of course all the accents were lost).

I didn't find that same option at Sense running on Android, so I had to change to a SMS program call Handcent, because this program has the option to convert the "non standard characters" to the closest standard match and the SMS length is preserved at 160 characters.
[Desire HD Android Development] henv:
Thnx for the explanation. It's a nice safety. First time it happens thought I went crazy. Will remember it went using sms

[Desire HD Android Development] cvenn:
Sounds like it is switching to Unicode, which is using two bytes per character when you start using extended characters.

That's the thing I also don't get. Until now your classic ROMs always outperformed the HD ROMs in regards to fluency. My girl has the classic Desire, which was mine before and I never got happy with your HD ROMs after seeing the classic ones.
[Desire HD Android Development] bengylow:
Glad to have someone reply. What is your original rom ? They said after ota update can't root as HTC locked out. I tried z4root, superoneclick, visionary+r4, gingerbreak, adb, you name it, cant root it. They is a blog request to flash rom to 2.37.767.2 then temp-root and downgrade to 1.32 to enable permenant root. Not success and now stuck with 2.37.767.2 without WiFi hotspot ability. Looks like a rom from japan. It also Change the phone model label to 001HT ....

I have used the 1st one 2ce without issues but haven't used the 2nd. If that's what you followed maybe you could try and use first the in-built factory reset and them follow the apropriate guide based on what ROM you currently have. If you have 2.37.767.2 then use the 2nd guide which I haven't used.

guys im using rom v3.2.1 with kernel V3.1.8-BFS and 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 radio and i do get some weird stuff going on:

1: when im on a phone call, the call will hang up on its on sometimes and when im immediately trying to call back, i get no tone.. i have to wait 5-7 seconds before calling again.

2: again, when im on a phone call, the phone on its own will put the current listener on hold and will start calling the second person on the phone list.

note

: ive uninstalled talkback as instructed from the forum due to force closing (dont know if that's might be the case)

also, what are the know FCs of the latest ROM and what's the overall opinion on battery duration. i was really happy with those im currently running with, if only i could sort out these phone-call issues.

Spike released an arabic/persian patch that is supposed to work properly with all custom roms.I will try it today and tell u the resaults.btw should I use ext4 wipe before using your rom again (though I did it before) or just 1.3 full wipe? Just to make sure cus when I wanted to use font changer, it told me that I don't have memory left and some kind of partition error :P
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
Days!?!?

Edit: :p
[Desire HD Android Development] ThE_DeamoN:
Lee's rom is ext4 but u can run it on ext3 as well, ext4 is recomended. I ran the rom on ext3 without a problem
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
when you flash leedroid your /system aand /cache partitions allways get formated as ext4! only /data maybe kept as what it was before.
[Desire HD Android Development] ThE_DeamoN:
Yep if you use a full wipe all partitions are ext4. BUT if you make a backup with CWM-Recovery and restore it after this /system and /data reverts back to ext3, when u try to use #mount in terminal it says they are ext4. They are just mounted as ext4

Read in this Thread. Im using it and its pretty good tho... have no problems :)
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Three suggestions:

- Mount data & system before flashing something. This will take care of any incompatibilities you may have between Ext3 and Ext4.

- If you have installed a huge number of apps, you may really be out of space (although I have never come close to this point), in this case delete some stuff.

- Something may have gone corrupt, so it may be a good idea to do a full format using Lee's Ext4 full wipe (not 1.3 full wipe as that will format to Ext3)
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
yes, but I mentioned a few days back that you can use the ext4 version of CWM and format all partitions as ext4, even devlog, and then restore your backup and you'll have full real ext4. that's what I did and confirmed that all my partitions are indeed ext4.
[Desire HD Android Development] ThE_DeamoN:
Ye, but the 4ext recovery can migrate vice-versa between ext4 and ext3, and in fact i cant find the difference between these two file systems, ext4 can support enormous storage space but what is the point to have ext4... on the phone supporting 32GiB memory?

EDIT: With CWM 3.2.0.0 /system and /data reverts to ext3 after restore... odd
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
the point of using ext4 is because it is way faster in every aspect of filesystem: raw read/write, random writes, big and small chunk sizes etc.

p.s. and guys just use "4ext" recovery instead of CWM. it's better, more funcitonal and supports converting of filesystem in both directions and many more!

[Desire HD Android Development] ThE_DeamoN:
I cant see noticeable difference in performance, even in memory stress tests
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
what tests? there are no tests available i know of that could test performance of /system /cache and /data partitions.

also being faster due to the nature of smartphone usage the effects most time are not observable. with ext4 you have the faster fs, but because you are using a smartphone most user would never observe a difference.

EDIT: remeber the io-perf patch? thus one could be tested easally to have effect, but in practice i never observed one. the reason was the special io-trafic nature of smartphone usage. it does not help in practice ;)

yes, hence it is not needed at all to convert to ext4. it is a nice bonus because it is easy to do. but usually you won't observe a difference.

but adding up many very small improvements possible make the difference finally ;)

custom roms are all about tweaking and improving as much as possible and not all its small steps are alone an obervable step ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Diffence between the 2 is slidely better performance (negligible in my opinion), slidely better management of IO and hence less fragmentation but again the difference is small. Stress tests that took place on Linux servers showed mixed results between the 2 FS. In some areas, ext3 was better and in some other ext4 was. However, the overall weight goes towards ext4 but again, for a smartphone, the difference is very small. Not enough to get excited but enough to chose ext4 instead of ext3 when you have the choice at no cost. That's my opinion.

[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:

Short advice:

1) Clear both phone and dialer cache data

2) Try switching back and forth between GSM only and WCDMA auto and see if it's any better

3) Try using the 3.2.0 CFS. Maybe BFS causes some lag on your dialer with those symptoms.

Hi there.

This release looks very cool, so I'll update from my old LeeDroid 2.3.4.

So, some questions :

- 1st, will the upcoming update need a wipe to work ? Only to know if I sshould wait for it or go on with 3.3.1 (I'm not very patient with geeking :p)

- 2nd, I know I have to : flash the radio, flash the full wipe package, flash the ROM... But, should I boot LeeDroid before flashing the Sense 3.0 All in one package ?

- 3rd and last : I owe you some beer, how many would be fine ? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
1) No full wipe will be needed. Just flash on top of it.

2) For Radio, sequence doesn't matter. You can do it either before or after. No full wipe will be needed unless you want to start with clean setup. Flash Leedroid, restart 1-2 times and then flash Sense 3.

3) I don't know how many he can handle. I am on my sixth and I can handle a whole box. :D

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
basically it is safe. But common cwm formats to ext3 so on restoring a backup can lead to ext3 partitions. That's all.

There are are ext4 cwm versions though.

But better is to use the new 4ext recovery. It replaces cwm.

.....oh and how do u completely delete. Talkback. It seems to be impossible to get it gone..

Thanks for all the time and hard work u put in Lee ... Awesome !

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
well actually it is not the gps that consumes the most. in fact gps consumes quite less. it is more the display being on all the tme and the navigation software itself, which has quite some processing to do.

but despite of this you are right: using your phone for navigation runs your battery in 3-4 hours dry and this is normal. well, if i compare it to my friends smartphone, one of a much older generation it is quite good. his goes down after 30-45min ;)

Hey Leedroid!

Long time fan first time poster, I have a question for you. This is the fourth incarnation of yours that I have flashed onto my phone and things so far have been close to flawless. However with your latest build. ie,

[ROM]LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB [KERNEL]V3.2.0 >EPIC!< 12th July | HTC GB | OTA | CRT TV.

I have been getting the following message on every reboot.

"This phone has just recovered from an abnormal reset. Would you like to tell HTC?"

Any ideas?

I have flashed both the recomended radio and your latest CFS kernal.

BTW. anyone able to link me to a page that explains the difference between the BFS and CFS kernals?

Cheers

Jake

BTW. Thanks for adding your stuff to ROM manager, Hopefully it will make things a touch easier for the newbies among us.

It's nothing to worry about. Just goto Menu > Settings > About Phone > Tell HTC and disable it. Reason this happens is probably due to APM, don't forget its a custom ROM not stock HTC.

Ok what I found it that there is a minor lag sometimes, but it is hardly noticable. But the most important thing is the effect it had on battery: sadly none. I am starting to think that the way I use the phone is a far greater factor in drain. Basically, I use the phone a lot for about 30 minutes and then I use it not at all for maybe 3 hours (i use my work phone a lot: a galaxy s2). I.think that this is "smoothing out" any of the CPU attack and decay effects.

Have not been playing with flashing for quite some time. One quick question please:

Do I have to clear dalvik, cache, HTC data etc after flashing 3.3.1 ROM with All in one v5 (without full wipe on top of 3.2.1 ROM)?

I ask this because I don't want to lose my "desktop" settings. It's kind of pain to have them all set again and again...

Use tb to backup HTC sense. (The one with the desktop icon.) Then as long as you use the exact same version you can use tb to restore data and you'll get most stuff back. Some widgets might not work and the wallpaper will default.

Please gives thanks, also I would encourage you to wipe sense data and reset screens manually if you have any problems.
[Desire HD Android Development] EmptyArea:
Entirely possible. You can switch these notifications off. This update will be the base lee is using for 3.3.1, however you could dl (not install!) To double check. Or update to 3.3.1 which I recommend.
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
Thanks mate.

Exactly what I thought but just in case I need to redo all over again.

You know why I say this? It's because when I flashed All in one for the first time, cleared data... etc, set everything, back up, had problem, re-flashed and restored settings from tb, it ended up with I have to do another re-flash and reset all the shortcut/icons...etc.

Regards!
