Difference between the rom versions

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding the different rom versions.

The faq says that the advantage of Cm7 hboot is, that dalvik runs from NAND.

And the only rom version made for cm7 is the a2sd version.

But in the faq stands that a disadvantage of a2sd is that dalvik is moved to sd-ext.

Isn't that a opposition?

i'm a newbie with a rooted and s-off desire and i only want a fast working rom, so what version of rcmixs shall i choose?
[Desire General] Glenn.Bre:
Just sent this tutorial to my cuz and it worked a treat :) Thanks guys
[Desire General] ravish_919:

Hello.

I flashed RCMixS_v1.6.1_A2SD+_BravoHboot on my Desire recently and found small bug in music app.

When music was played and screen was locked playback stopped in the middle of track and skip to next one.

This happened two or three times so far.

Has anyone had this problem?
[Desire General] pure gallus:
Been using this rom for a while now and I love it except every now and then I have people telling me that they cannot get into contact with me. This is when I have a fine signal, people whatsapp me asking if I got their text or call.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Thanks for the help.

[Desire General] pure gallus:
Flashed the latest radio and it gives me no signal at all, I guess it is a matter of trying different ones until I find the right one.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
No signal even if u go out side ???? I now vodafone **** in the country side I couldn't wait to unlock network voda are rubbish 4 me

U could try a earlier one but just be carefull flashing please don't want u to brick ur device if u still have problems after u flash another radio etc cant receive calls I would recommend complete wipe n fresh install I now its annoying but sometime a wipe always dose the job

Hi I got a tip for laggy devices, I posted about this in the actual thread and it seemed to help,

Go to a2sdgui

Go to dalvik tab

Check if jit is on, if not turn it on

This sped up my device quite a bit

Cool thanks, just flashed the version the blog post recommended and it seems all right just now. If I encounter more problems I will follow your advice and do a full wipe.

Fat32 with a 1024ext4

Cant install 1.61 or 1.7. I just get stuck on the s-off window(why so serious)

Cant find out what im doin wrong here. Just repartitioned my sd from 512 to 1024 with gparted, i can install cyanogen without a problem.

Any clues? I'd be a happy fish if someone tells me how to fix.

Thanks for a cool rom.. been using rcmix a while now.. and its hewt!

[Desire General] daddyspud:
Use this link to download the new recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839640

Use unrevoked click on file n custom recovery n find the file u download n let unrevoked do it or u can do it ur self

Use the android flasher provided in my tools n utility on the first few posts

Load up the program click recovery n begin then click on ur image n the program will install a new recovery for u

U MUST HAVE THE PHONE PLUGED INTO UR PC/LAPTOP

N U NEED UNREVOKED CUSTOM ANDROID DRIVERS INSTALLED

one u have done that download rcmix a2sd + Rom that's the one u want

Load into recovery n wipe all data expect ur SD card reboot recovery n install Rom n wait for it to boot there are guides on the first post

Sorry for long reply as I ment to be working :):):):)

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Problem is that he needs to flash rooted stock rom before using unrevoked again. He can flash recovery from fastboot because he's s-off.

Edit: The best way for him is to use fake CWM flash from recovery.
[Desire General] cordac:
both of u guys.. alot of thanks.. used flash_image and terminal and i have cwm 3 now.. gonna try install.. big thanks again

is it possible to flash this rom with clockworkmod 2.5.0.7?

i'm using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3

[Desire General] daddyspud:
I can try but its recommend to use a later version of cwm buddy

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] pure gallus:
Yeah, I have definitely messed up my radio some how. Keep getting no texts and then I get an influx of loads at once from people angry that I am ignoring them.

So my best bet is to do a complete wipe? And go back to my recovery of my stock rom before I started messing? Will that restore my previous radio and get me working again?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
If I was u I would flash a ruu then re root n s off that will put u back to complete stock

Hi !

have you same problem , for discharge battery on a car kit ( original htc) when you use gps and BT ?

the current charging is too low , only 500mA , normaly is 1000mA. So when you enable gps , the 500 mA are not sufficient to recharge the battery.

Gb problem or kernel (i have lastest V05 and I'm on 1.7.2 rcmix)

Have you test ?
[Desire General] Toonshorty:
Small problem, well, it's actually pretty big but anyhow.

I've got my HTC Desire configured as so:

Stock Bravo HBoot (S-On) - Not messed with this at all, not brave enough :rolleyes:

RA-Desire-2.00 Recovery

I installed from Oxygen 2.1.3 by doing the following.

1. Powering off phone.

2. Booting into recovery (Power + Vol Down)

3. Clearing all user data, then cache and Delvik-Cache just to make sure.

4. Install the latest RCMixS for A2SD Bravo.

5. Install completes, restart phone.

6. Phone shows HTC logo on white background for ~10 seconds.

7. Phone screen goes black, vibrates, then shows the HTC logo again (Reboot).

8. Repeats steps 6 and 7 - Boot loop.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Something with my config?

FAQ states to check HBOOT and Recovery but both seem OK.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Look my previous post about fat32+ext2/3/4 partition of cd-card.
[Desire General] Marchief:
Got a new one for you, if I have a previous UOT MOD, can I extract it, replace the systemUI etc files with the latest rom versions and then recompile and flash it or do I still have to do the whole UOT kitchen process again every time there is an update?
[Desire General] Toonshorty:
Can't find the exact post you're referring too, however I've booted into G-Parted Live and the SD-Card is formatted as follows:

FAT (~3.7GB I believe)

EXT3 (~120MB)

I deleted the Ext3 partition and recreated it as another Ext3 but it still gets stuck in a boot loop.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
Ext must be between 5125/1024mb

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] Toonshorty:
So if I shrink the FAT partition and make a 1024MB Ext3 partition it should work?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
Yes it should

The Best Things Come To Those Who Wait
[Desire General] Toonshorty:
Since GParted decided my phone no longer exists I had to use the partition tool in RA-Recovery.

I created a 1024MB Ext2 partition with a 64MB swap size, then upgraded that from Ext2 to Ext3 using the included tool.

Still get the boot loop.

TQ in advance
[Desire General] svprm:
Wiped everything.

Installed RC Mix 1.7.

But Boot Loop.

I have HTC Original Stock Hboot with S-ON.

Is required to install AlphaRev Stock Hboot or CM7 Hboot?
[Desire General] zkytmilad:
I always thought it doesn't matter for aplharev
[Desire General] DonDavici:
Bootloop

Hallo,

hope someone can help.

I have a PVT4 with S-ON Version of the Desire and use RCmix for a while. i have amonra 2.0.0. My partitions are 512MB Ext3 remaining space is fat. no swap. I use the A2SD+ versions.

Everthing worked well up to 1.6.2. This is my current version.

Since that every version i want to use leads into a bootloop. no firing up. just boot loop.

I tried delete cache and davlik-cache. i tried complete wipe. i also tried reformating the sd-card.

It is all the time the same. 1.6.2 installs without any problems. since that every other update causes bl.

any ideas on that? I mean what is the difference between 1.6.2 and the later ones.

thx in advance :-)

PS: You guys are great. Thx to all your efforts
[Desire General] supertuberful:
Is 1.9 already up and ready? I found the dir in the directory :D figure maybe now updating the thread?

[Desire General] KRolands:
emm I updated from 1.7.2 to 1.8 by wiping darvin cache and installing from zip. Now my lock screen shows icons and caller picture, but I have Google Maps 5,4 and in Settings>About Phone> Software information> Build number it shows - RCMix S v.1.7.2 A2SD+ Bravo HBoot. Why?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
build prop was not edit its ok there no problem the version is 1.8 just not been edit on bulid prop
[Desire General] KRolands:
Thank you for making it clear. Still why I have Google Maps 5.4? :)
[Desire General] daddyspud:
update them manually
[Desire General] KRolands:
The thing is that I can't becouse I live in Latvia and I can't download newest version of Google Maps.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
ow ok lol erm wait for 1.9 then buddy maybe they will b updated there sorry
[Desire General] KRolands:
ok, thanks :)
[Desire General] dimatrow:
Hey guys,

first of all thank you for the great work! It's really quite a shame that someone else has to do the dirty work because HTC stops supporting/updating their devices after such a short time...the ROMs are great.

Anyways, I've got a problem. When I was still using 1.7.2 I wanted to charge my Desire via USB cable on a work computer. Connected and charged it using the "charge only" setting in the device's power management tool. After unplugging I got an error saying the SD card was damaged...

formatted it at home, tried to partition it to have 2 ext3 partitions and one Linux Swap partition but after finishing, the card is still shown as fat32 only.

Since then any version I flash I can't unlock the screen since the only thing visible on the unlock screen is the background and the status bar.

Since this moment I also cannot copy the ROMs onto the card because everytime I get an e/a error...

Anybody ever had his Desire kill an SD card?

Bravo PVT-1 S-on

Radio -5.09.05.30_2

Clockwork recovery

Hboot 0.93

Thanks for reading ;)

EDIT: The SD card is an ADATA 16GB Class 6 model.

EDIT 2: Also, how is this SPAM if I want to edit my post?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
ok erm wat are u partitioning with the sd card with????

u really only need one partition all the other are waste of ur sd card

do u have a card reader????

if so wen u put it in to the pc dose ur sd card go really hot????
[Desire General] dimatrow:
Right, sorry I forgot that. Formatted exactly as shown in this video ( Format-SD-for-D2SD-ROM-v2.avi on youtube ). I think, this video tutorial was linked in the RCMix HD thread.

I tried to partition it in the phone after mounting the card in recovery and also with a card reader. Didn't change anything.

Using the card reader the card is not getting hot.

After searching a little, I found that I am not the only one having his HTC ruin a MicroSD. But having it happen after almost 1 year of use seems pretty random.

I think I should try flashing AmonRa recovery and report back. Thank you for your quick reply :)
[Desire General] daddyspud:
ok report back then ill do me best to help if i can

Hello I have a big problem because I am a little newbie =/ . I used leedroid 2.4.1 for a while and wanted to check out this rom. I have got the AmonRA recovery and I wiped Everything.

Only the BravoHBoot (Version 1.8) did not stuck there - it rebootet endless times for hours and nothing happened. Please can someone help me? The solution might be very easy but I am searching since HOURS =( ! thanks a lot...

[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Even flash rom nowadays is simple I always recommend to new yousers, educate youself, read forum for few days, faq, guides, other users experiences, problem and solutions. It could save you a lot of time, nerves and even can save your money. You must know what you can do in case of some problems, like boot loop, USB brick, partition... It's too late when you get in troubles.

Don't just make a root and start flashing everything you can find :)
[Desire General] ducky1979:
can anyone point me in the direction of some screen shots for this rom please.
[Desire General] daddyspud:
Do u want screen shot or do u wana know wat app to use to take screenshots
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Probably he wants screenshot of the rom, same what is in first post of rom thread :)

Maybe you know, is it possible to change HTC clock with flipping number to old one without? Even new one is cool it makes phone laggy after unlock.

I asked in RCMix thread, without answer. I asked in Insert coin and what answer I've got is better to be without answer at all :)
[Desire General] dimatrow:
Hi there.

After clearing the storage in the HBOOT menu and reinstalling the ROM 3 times everything works flawlessly now.

Except for the flashing of a new recovery system. Oh well, now everything works fine it doesn't even matter to me.

Also I tried to clear Android Market cache.

When moving Dalvic to SD using MCR script, is this a perm fix, or will new wipe/ROM flash restore standard layout.

Also, is Ext3 ok for this procedure...?

Hi, I've got problem with i think every rom i used to use... becouse after few hours or minutes of smooth run w/o problem i've got message "htc sense crash: kill or wait" i realy don't know WHY..

I've got htc desire amoled clas4 16gb sdcard fat32 +1gb EXT4 Align S-OFF clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 (already tested 2.5.xx and 3.0xx and the worst i think amonRA 2.0.1) lasted radio CM7 hboot (i used to have bravo hboot with the same issues) and now i've got RCMix S 2.0 cm7 and icons from uot kitchen...

I'm using titanium backup for everything (internet sms contacts htc sense setting wifi blootooth etc and all apps and games) yes i've tried not to use it for restore and to use only auto install script for this roms... also i've got chainfire3D and setcpu for better performance...

when i install rom for exaple 1.7 from 1.6 i wipe only dalvik cache but there is no difference if i do full wipe...

CAN anyone tell me whats going on??? why do i have so many fc? what is wrong?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Flash stock rom (Froyo) and see what'll happen. If you still have problem, unfortunately your phone is broken. Same things happened to my friend, now Desire is in service.

If it works with stock Froyo, then check you sd card.
[Desire General] adamkx7xdesire:
ok i think that the best idea is to install RUU yes? ok but which one would be the best for me? i'm from poland and my desire wasn't branded...
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
For start flesh Pre-rooted Stock Froyo. I don't have time to search which one RUU is the best for you, sorry.
[Desire General] adamkx7xdesire:
ok i did RUU from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869048 and now my desire is very very fast and stable but i cant test too much becouse it's now S-on so i cant install some apps... how can i test it for sure that the divice is NOT broken? becouse i want RCMix S back xD
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Test it for few days with some demanding applications like games. If everthing work fine then root it again... But before that, test your sd card.
[Desire General] adamkx7xdesire:
ok i'll test it by games and programs... but could you tell me how can i test sdcard? i did't format it yet but i think that for now w/o any scripts like app2sd+ or ++ etc its not recomended... but it will be for sure... so how xD sorry that i'm noob
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Google for some program or test it with Windows scan for bad sectors.

Hi, I am using V20 cm7 with full wipe, and the lastest radio 5.17.05.23

however, I am still facing wi-fi dropping problem

is this rom included gtg465x's wi-fi dropping fix patch?
[Desire General] daddyspud:
This is dev related sorry I wouldn't know have u checked in WiFi advance settings WiFi policy
[Desire General] ruanyt:
just default setting, wi-fi sleep policy is never and I do not tick the best wi-fi performance option(coz power consuming;))
[Desire General] 777ace:
OK, sweet. Well, I formatted to Ext4 anyway. Next Q, what will happen to Dalvic if my SD crashes, or if I need to format the Ext for some reason in future?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
What do you think? :) What will happen if your hard disk crashes or if you format it?

Fortunately is only cache. Bigger problem is that you'll lose all apps on ext partition.
[Desire General] 777ace:
That's exactly how I was thinking of it and why I have not done this procedure yet.

Apps can be restored from market, so I guess what I was trying to ask was, will my phone become a nice pretty paperweight if I lose Dalvic because SD became damaged? Can I replace Dalvic to phone, if I choose to format or repartition SD??
[Desire General] daddyspud:
If it SD card becomes faulty if phone will b fine but u won't b able to run it until u get a new SD card or u use a Rom that don't need est for it to run
