You will need to download all parts to extract the ZIP for each ROM

MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR ROM FIRST AND DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE INSTALLING!

AS THIS IS A COMPLETE RE-WORK YOU WILL NEED TO BACKUP WHAT YOU CAN AND REMEMBER TO DO A FACTORY RESET WITHN CWM RECOVERY:

Also the first boot will take longer than usual, this is normal as the ROM is De-Odexed and the Dalvik Cache needs building.

REMEMBER - If you like my work, please hit my

thanks

button to show your appreciation :)

Hopefully this should be my final and last update as it is more than complete.

I have another project i am/will be working on and time will not permit 2 projects...

Hope you enjoy the ROM!!

​
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:

Thank for this verey much appreciated
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:

[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Ive had some time today to look at the Battery Percentage mod/fix and can confirm this is now done ;)

Watch this space...
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
lol watchin closley lol .. btw iv been using rom since last night and apart form that batt prob roms workin fine

is it possible to add custom boot animations? iv tried adding em to data/local/ but no luck
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Battery is fantastic on mine lol...

However i have disabled "Tell HTC" and "OTA Software Updates"

I also "froze" stocks, news, htc like and few other apps i dont use with TB and i charged my handset overnight and in the morning at approx 7a.m rebooted in recovery and deleted battery stats and then recharged it.

It is now on 97% and has been running for over 6 hours so its all good.

P.S

Advanced Reboot menu also fixed :-)

I think im going to re-release the complete ROM today with the fixes implemented.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Updated 1st Post with Latest Rom.

Will try and provide a recovery .zip with just the updates for those that have already downloaded the 1st Rom.

Enjoy.
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
is the v54 file the fight one. i think the links stopped workin for downloads. i downloaded it before flashing it now thx very much appreciated
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Sorry i took it down as i noticed i didnt update some notification images which i thought i did lol..

Fixing it now.

Looks like your the only one using it. :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Trying to get my device s-off'd but it will take a couple of weeks as I'll have to probably send my phone away as I can't afford to buy an Xtc clip , also have a busy time at work so can't go with out phone just now

So hopefully by the time you've got the initial issues sorted out with the rom I'll be able to flash it too.

Can't wait, don't give up, reckon more and more people will need your rom in time
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Hmm, it looks like the download link is broken.

Can you maybe fix it =)?

Edit:

Ok, now it works =).

Maybe the upload wasn't ready.
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Nope . I'm about to install in a few minutes :D.
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
yep thx tho only matter of time i guess jus need software to root and s-off phones for other users which im sure aint far along then we shud se alot more.

by the rom is lookin nice lovin the theme
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
You rom works perfectly. Good work!

But what i dont like is the modded theme in blue.

Is there a chance to get the old one back?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
lol..

This is Sergios CoreDroid Rom for the ACE ported to our Desire S so it comes with that theme as standard. Its what the ROM is about, the blue eye candy :)

You can always flash loveboatcaptains LBC rom which has the default theme i believe.

Sorry cant be of any more help.
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
can i use custom boot animations?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
This needs fixing, future versions will have the default CoreDroid bootanimation installed as default. ;)
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
great work...

good to see someone here around ;-)

send you a PM

regards
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
thx ya man
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
files will be uploaded in 15 20 mins
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Do you have any more information on the Kernel Specifics?

Smartass governer? Undervolted? etc

Ta :)

P.S V1 is awesome ;)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
links updated in my previous post sorry bwt that :)

iv uploaded the kernel as a flashable zip which should work on any rom on gb but beware wifi will stop workin the wifi driver is there if anyone knows how to fix iv trried many ways and hopefully will get it sorted

OC 1.8ghz - with the flashable zip correct me if im wrong does it only allow you to go to 1.5 ghz

minimum voltage@950mV

maximum voltage@1350mV

I/O scheduler as default

for next release

at moment basic overclock will be undervolting as i believe we can getr better results with this phone

fix wifi driver for flahsable zip ( doesnt apply to coredroids rom form my previous post)

Add Smartass

http://www.mediafire.com/?0iw9hp14jafzdt5 Wifi Driver

http://www.mediafire.com/?c8tqkobomd3ddc1 Kernel flash zip from recovery

IMPORTANT 1.5 ghz is best and stably very smooth any higher i found i got lag u can check this urself please reportr any bugs and suggestions thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Hi! Thanks for the kernel! can you start own thread on that? What kernel number is it? Can it be used with other ROMs? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
yh actuaslly gonna move that last post only reaosn i did in here coz its marylandcookies rom

i will add a new thread for the kernel
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
I always use the night clock mode at night, plugged in of course, on stock Rom before using this Rom and the clock showed throughout the night (without having to set the always on when plugged in). Problem is now the clock doesn't stay on without the always on, the screen will switch off after a while. Then I used the always on and the screen stayed on but the night clock jumps back to desk clock and the a while later back to home screen.

This is all without touching it, can someone post the stock Android clock greatly appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
Which kind of fix is this ? :confused:
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Just a thought, I always find the transitions scrolling between the home screens a bit plain. After using this Rom I like the way menus pop up and all, only if some transitions can be applied to sense home it would spice up the Rom even further.

Without the need to install another home launcher and lose sense widgets.
[HTC Desire S] smokestack76:
Sergio is now taking over coredroid please refer to his thread
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Has anyone here contacted people behind Unrevoked to see if they can do something 'bout our Desire?

My hands are so itching to try these rom.
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Ahhh, i see :).

Whatever :D. Blue is pretty too ;).

I'll try this rom and if i find some bugs ... i will tell u.

Once again, great work :).
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
very nice :D

i really want to try this ROM

but unfortunately my device is s-on & idk any one where i live who has a xtc clip :(

i guess i have to wait for someone to come with a s-off software...
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Update: Fixed the custom boot animation and sound. Next update will accept custom boot and startup audio from data/local.

Will also have shutdown audio ;) also removable/customisable from within data/local. :)
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Very nice seeing, that you improve your rom more and more :).

:D
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:

no rush lol
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I have a massive update for you guys!!

Trust me you are going to love this as there are some suprises in there i know you are going to never live without!!!

Doing some minor testing and will upload...

This will probably be my final update as i believe it is now complete. :)

Please dont forget to hit the thanks button (thats all i ask) and also please thank sergio for his wonderful DesireHD rom.

See you soon....
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
lookin good

any chance we can get titanium backup as pro or in user data so we can install pro version as it allows fast auto install

thanks
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Sorry pal..

Paid apps in ROMs is frowned upon and also not fair to developers. :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
oh ok then no probs.......seen the youtube video hope its release soon. but yh very suprised theres no bug n stuff. lovin rom

jus hope get a few cool kernels to use to
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
The ROM in the first post isn't the updated ROM(?)

Cause a have only the "normal" quick settings in notification bar - in the video there are more (hopefully also 2G/3G toggle)

But THANKS for the port.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
The ROM is now complete and the first post has been updated.

Please remember to do a full wipe regardless of new or existing user as it has been re-worked completely. (see 1st post).

Also if you download please hit my thanks button as that is all i ask for, so many downloads and only several thanks... not cool people.

This will be my last and final update as i have another project to work on and time will not permit 2 projects....

Hope you enjoyed the show and have fun with the ROM....

Bye all... peace...
[HTC Desire S] fire girl:

[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
thx for this cant waitr to try it....

al we need now is a kernel mod :D
[HTC Desire S] Joakim Larsen:
Looks cool, i will give it a try.
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
working good here, had a few errors on bootup about latin keyboard but seems ok thanks
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
exchange does not work for me: "problem with server certificat" -> OK -> back to setting screen

restored back to stock: exchange works with same settings
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Hmm, it looks like the download files are set to private :/.

Can you check it please?

Can't wait to try this out :).
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Removed some apps:

Plurk

LatinIME

Picasa...

Reinstated some htc apps.

Changed Font.

Updated 1st post with new links.
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
any tips for a keyboard without them arrow keys on the bottom? i think there kind of a waste of space.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Awesome custom ROM marycookieland!! :)
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Well i use swype, so i guess its personal preference :)

Have you S'OFF'd yet and tried it?

If you havent, you dont know what your missing out on!! :D
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Omg, now its awesome :).

But i would prefere the original keyboard too :D

But greate rom! :D
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I'll attach it as a flashable zip in a short while.. in the 2nd post ;)

Happy?
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
uncontrollably happy yes :)

Thanks for the work.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Its uploaded now. Couldnt attach it as was too big.

Anyone else having exchange issues?

Cant see what the issue is there :confused:
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
google exchange sync works fine.
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
Thanks for the keyboard :D.

Works great.

You are my hero :).
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Works fine here too... maybe an isolated case.

Your welcome.. :)
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
google worked - but "exchange active sync" with a company ssl-server was not working
[HTC Desire S] Hawkysoft:
hmm i rather not test the format cache atm since im busy with stuff..

could you show me the command ur using mate?

and your doing pritty well urselve also ;)

for me it should be

format("ext3", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");

for you i believe it should be

format("ext4", "MMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");

since cache is the same and i see its ext4 in the dump u showed before

if this wont tell me and i'll look into it
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
exchange active sync works fine with my company ssl exchange too mate.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Thanks for 'popping' by, i believe its an issue with clockwork recovery as it always fails to flash when it comes across the format cache command.

In Update Script: format CACHE:

In Updater Script: format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p27");

I know the statements correct because the following work:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25");

or

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");

If you ever have the need to format cache during your "cooking" let me know whether or not it works for you.
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
how do i root/s off my desire s to use this rom/theme?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Currently theres no free way to S-OFF.

You have to use an XTC-Clip either buy finding someone on XDA who's local and will do it for you or to try your local shop like i did.
[HTC Desire S] gkaipale:
I just flashed it and it is awesome.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Glad you like it...

Dont forget the thanks button ;)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
jus wanna say thanks again for rom was done so quicky. lol i cant find any bugs :P

aint gna update now as i feel its complete with awsome batter life...seriously with screen off for 3 hours didnt move from 100% and usually lasts me all day now and thats with using n64 on mario kart and mario world.

Jus a kernel mod left and think this phone is complete for me thanks again g awsome rom
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
The reason it didn't move from 100% is i think its bugged the % doesn't update while screen is off and at 100% it will resync the % after a few mins
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
lmao bongo when screen off battery still goes down

i know that for a fact and resync lol k
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
What are u on about, you said your battery was 100% after 3 hours of screen off.

So im telling you it wasnt 100% because the indicator has a bug were the % doesnt go down while the screen is off, so when the indicator resyncs it will show the accurate value. Which would not be 100% as 100% for 3 hours screenoff is impossible, within a few mins of turnin screen back on it will recalculate and show you the real % (prob about 97)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
jus tried it... lol u want me to post a video ..... how long do i wait coz after ten mins with screen on battery gone down to 99% then 98 after 15 but had brightness maxed and and live wallpaper on from what im seeing that is my battery percentage

from what u sayin it shud show the real percentage when it resync but waitin for that to happen but doesnt until i start using the apps n stuff lol i keep chargin to a hundred (green light n tryin it)

im telling u that was the case in the mornin when i woke up i took it off charge and went bk to sleep woke up turn screen on check a few things on market and instaslled a app it was still hundred% watched a video and it went to 99% ?????? and according to extended controls mit had been running on battery for over 3 hours
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i think it is possible as my device looses around 1% every 2 hrs on a average with screen off,wifi off & mobile network off
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
40 odd downloads on my last update and only about 6 odd thanks?

Nice going... Not asking for too much guys.

I think its best if i stop working in on it, i was going to release an update that includes the dancing droid in incoming calls and htc lockscreen 3.0 with working answer & reject but ill pass.

Think ill move back to the SE community, Shame on you Desire S community!
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
naaaaah continue am sure these guys will show appreciation and hit Thanks and not act like leechers.

cmon guys
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Been giving you 'thanks' and i dont even have the phone yet ! xD

More ppl should join the forum, don't worry!
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
i gave thanks, but it didnt even come into my mind until you said give me thanks i think most people dont even realise how to give thanks.
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
im one of them i thought i could only give thanks once lol
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
still waiting to get s-off then ill give you lots of thanks

Please don't give up before I get a chance to have a go, we must build to a community at some point

Please stay, we clearly need you, at least I know I will very soon and then I'll give mucho thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Also don't think that I can (or we) can as most of us use the mobile application
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
I found a guy with xtc clip so today I'll try your rom finally!
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
regarding the battery indicator again does anyone else think it holds on 100% for an unrealistic amount of time (regardless of screen on/off). My phones been off charge about 2 hours this morning ive checked email and lsitened to 30 mins of music etc and its still on 100% :s
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Agreed, it does seem to stay on one hundred percent unrealistically long
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
all the more to to give thanks trust the battery life is ok its very good i forgot to charge over night went owt wiv 36% and my battery lasted for 5 hours and still didnt need to charge but was hme so charged it
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
I gave too many thanks!This rom is awesome!I hope in the future and overclockable!
[HTC Desire S] hahn.lelo:
How is it possible to give "thanks" over xda app?
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
I have an issue with my mobile network.Only uploading files,not downloading so I can't use it to have internet access.What I should do?Try to reflash the rom?

Edit:It's not an issue...I forgot to pay my bill. lol

Sorry!
[HTC Desire S] Hawkysoft:
hey bro, day arrived, i had to test it and it worked.... so sorry mate ;/
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Maybe its just a DS issue Hmmm... :confused:

Thanks for letting me know. ;)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
can u we expect future updates? ;) rom is awsome tho good to see mre people with s-off nw.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Im tied up with something else at the moment family life related so unsure if ill get the time. Im really struggling to find the time, i had a play with the battery 100% issue and broke half the ROM so it doesnt look like a quick fix. The last thing i did was add the modified 3.0 lockscreen by seo and a dancing droid but broke it looking for the battery issue which i personally think isnt such a big deal, but nonetheless needs addressing at some point.

I have the seo modified lockscreen if you want to flash it through recovery and it wont affect your ROM - it just affected mine as i was constantly making changes,.

Besides, the ROM is near perfect, its just missing Sense 3.0 which i think are in their early stages from leaked ROMS so can carry their own bugs.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Desire S] Hawkysoft:
jumpin up and down> cookie cookie cookie, check your pm xD
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
MarylandCookie can I use this to your rom?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
You can but it will break the Advanced Power Menu. Im gona try and port over sergios coredroid 6.5 when i get around to it.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
@panosfx: but you could have read that right there in the very first post of that particular thread: I recommend you not flash the zip files on a rom based on "mixed" framework. they're for clean 2.36.405.8 only. ;-)
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
Thanks!You're right.

I have a huge problem.I use clockworkmod 3.0.2.6.Before a week I was s-offed and rooted my Desire S.The first rom I installed was MarylanCookie.All works fine!!!

Yesterday I tried to flash loveboatcaptain's rom but I preffered Maryl's so the problems start!

I have freezes,force closes all the time.

I tried to reinstall the rom but the same.I tried three times to wipe data,cache and davlik but nothing.I can't stop the freezes(i have to get off the battery) and the fcs.

What happened?What sould I do?Please help!

Edit:Now I can't even download apps from market...What is wrong?

Also I tried to ota update my Desire S but failed.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Try the following:

1. Boot into recovery using bootloader menu and NOT rom manager

2. Format Data

3. Format Cache

4. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats

6. Mounts and Storage > format /cache

7. Mounts and Storage > format /data

8. Mounts and Storage > format /system

Then either install a backup or a fresh rom.

Let us know how you get on.
[HTC Desire S] panosfx:
A new rom?Not yours?I have backup only the official rom.I'll try to install yours again.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Any rom for now...

Im currently testing CoreDroid 6.5 ;)
[HTC Desire S] nicky7166:
Waiting :)

Your v5.4 ROM is excellent, 6.5 must be great.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
+1 here, will be S-OFF tomorrow :D
[HTC Desire S] mih_:
fonts

Is there any way to get standard fonts back?

I've tried the ROM and, personally for me, they are too small and not aligned properly in multiple places, which i can't accept for daily use...
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
See second post.
[HTC Desire S] mih_:
fonts

lame for me, it's ok now.

had read up to ime keyboard, didn't noticed about fonts, sorry.
[HTC Desire S] gkaipale:
Thank you for your great rom.

When to expect 6.5?
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
To be honest i have no idea.

The rom has one major bug which i cant fix at the moment which is the WiFi issue. I keep getting "Obtaining address..." when trying to connect to an AP :(

Ive tried the latest RUU, the latest Kernel and the Latest Radio but no Joy :confused:

Im baffled!! Ive been off sick from work today and ive been trying to fix this damn bug all day from morning!! I am soooooo tempted to just throw in the towel!!
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Anyone fancy testing CD6.5?

I want to make sure that its not my router thats causing the problem.

PM Me.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
im happy to test for you if noone has taken you up on your offer.
[HTC Desire S] robinsonsam:
Yeah same, i nandroided this morning anyway so i'm game,
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I have 3 testers at the Mo' so lets see how they get on :)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
cool lets see wat happens thx for carryin on. if u need another tester let me know
[HTC Desire S] datoml:
I would help to test too.
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
