In mcr scripts, there is also the option to move dalvik to internal. So, can we still move it back after moving it to sd? I ask because if I wanted to do a nandroid backup before flashing another rom, is the backup going to be any good if there is a problem with the new rom?
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
No, you understood complete wrong. Dalvic cache is temporary place for decompressed apk. You can restart phone to recovery, wipe cache, reboot and it'll work. Just slowly at beginning.

Problem is that on the ext parition is a lot of applications. Some of them are very important. Depends of rom version and what applications are on the ext you may be able to boot phone without ext or not. Of course, if is Dalvic on the ext you can not boot phone without sd card at all.

Hello :)

I have tried to search for an answer on my question but cant find any answers and cant post in dev forum.

This thing happens on both newest RCMix and Insertcoin. On weather widget if I push it to see forecast it FC after 3 sec. The funny thing is that it only crash if my location is in front of the widget. If I set some of the places allready set like London, Paris etc, no problem. But if I scroll to my locations it FC again after 2-3 sec. com.htc.weather FC. Anyone have any Idea what it can be?

Sory for my english if its bad :)

Hello, I have a quesion about flashing the hboot in the goldcard way.

If I flash a custom hboot from alpharev using the goldcard method, will I get the same s-off effect as the alpharev hboot reflash utility does?:confused:

Thanks in advance, sorry if my english is bad~:)
[Desire General] michaelm_007:
Download a linux-live-cd from Alpharev and you need not a goldcard. This is easier way.
[Desire General] adamkx7xdesire:
Thanks Zeljko1234

I think that making RUU solve my problem... my desire seems to work for 2 days on RCMix s 2.0 w/o any htc sense fc and its quite smooth but not much.. but it was stressful to make RUU and than root and than s-off again... it makes few errors on the crucial moments but finally it works... but for sure i uinstalled setcpu and chainfire3d..
[Desire General] revilwong:
Thanks for the reply.

I know using the live cd is easier, but I want to make sure that, does flashing hboot with a goldcard has the same effect as using the live cd? So they both give me the same s-off result?

Thanks.

First boot freezes

I followed the instruction from the first post and installed RCMix S v2.0 Bravo. Everything seemed to go fine.

I rebooted after the installation and RCMixHD “firing up” boot animation appeared and then after a few minutes it froze. Pressing trackball I can get into setup menu that force closes right away though.

Of note, I tried creating 1 gb ext3/4 partitions with gparted and recovery and reinstalling the rom again as I read in the development thread that it may be related to SD card... and nothing worked.

Please help!
[Desire General] diordnandroid:
I found out what was wrong. The rom can't be installed with ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5. After i updated to 3.2 version (using android flasher) everything went fine :cool:
[Desire General] Lyholm:
Hey guys

Does anyone have the original cm7 hboot .img from alfarev. I changed my hboot to try a ASOP rom and now I'd really like to go back to CM7 hboot, but on the official site the layout has been changed resulting in a smaller /data partition.(130/5/303 as opposed to the new 145/5/287)

And btw does anyone know why the layout has been changed?
[Desire General] ruwan_ace:
Can i install RCMIXs A2SD with stock Hboot and Radio?

Hi guys.. can i just install de ROM without needing to flash my HBoot Version or Radio? I have version 0.93.1.

I read the noob guide, it does not say that i need to flash the Hboot but the FAQ thread lists just "Stock Hboot" as the requirement. In Alparev.nl it has a stock version as well. Im confused. Can someone pls. clarify..

Thanks :)
[Desire General] wska:
Im using RCmix S v2.0 ... the rom is really fast, but i have one annoying problem...

I had this rom for like, a day or something, and i got 4 reboots..... When taking a picture using the camera app, after taking the pic, i press again to return to take another one, the phone hangs, then reboot Dx.. Need help please.

Posted here as i cant post in the dev section.
[Desire General] Lyholm:
The files from alfarev's site doesn't update your hboot. It just changes the partitions sizes on your internal memory. So if you've changed it yourself you need to change it back, if you haven't the layout is still stock and you should be ready to flash the "stock hboot" version.

radio is AFAIK more of an optional ting, I use ...5.17.05.23 and I'm getting pretty good battery life.
[Desire General] wolfbrigade:
Hey, is there a way to get a battery mod for RcMix S 2.0?

I found one but it didn't work..

I'm using Amon-Ra 2.0.1
[Desire General] Lyholm:
You can make one yourself at http://uot.dakra.lt/ and get everything as you like(Just remember to either tick the "Data++" box in the "file upload" pane or manually mount system and sd-ext in recovery before flashing.

Edit:

Or you can have mine: Blue overscroll to match other sense effects, ubuntu fronts and a battery mod.(see attached)

You will need to manually mount system and sd-ext in recovery as I didn't tick the "Data++" box.
[Desire General] wolfbrigade:
Thank you, it works amazing! ;)
[Desire General] Lyholm:
If you are on v2.0 just use "MCR Scripts", you'll find it in the app drawer, then choose "MoveDalvic2SD.sh" and you should be done.
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
Here you go.

attached, its in a zip because you cant upload .img files here unzip then

flash using your favourite method or in the link below

[Desire General] ZeGuitarist:
I've had some problems with a 512MB ext partition (apps not installing, insufficient memory warnings and such), and it appears from the thread in development that I wasn't the only one. Maybe edit this out of the first post? 1GB is recommended in most places, but this one detail still managed to confuse me, and not just me by the looks of it.

Just trying to help out. Otherwise, thanks for the great guide!
[Desire General] smhouston:
n00b here!...

I've managed to install other custom ROMs fine before I tried this one, but not I seem to have stumbled across a problem....

I initially went through the process for the S-OFF method so I can use RCMix CM7, and I then placed the ROM onto the SD card and installed. The ROM installed ok,managed to get my accounts synced, wifi on etc, but then I found a problem when it came to the market and installing apps. Whenever it tried to install the application it errored saying insufficient space. I tried multiple times, multiple restarts, but nothing, so I was a bit limited with what I could do with it.

So I assumed it could be to do with the SD card ext which I'd not done (I couldn't remember what sizes I'd set...I think it was 512MB), so I rebooted my phone into recovery, and chose the "partition sd card" option, and set the swap to 0, and ext to 1024mb. It said it was a success and I proceeded with copying all my SD card backup from PC back onto my phone via the recovery method by "mount USB storage".

This was done fine, so I went to go re-install the ROM, but now when it tries to install the ROM it gets an error saying:

"E:/Error in /sdcard/Custom ROMs/RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD_CM7Hboot.zip

(Status 0)

Installation Aborted"

Also, now when I try to "mount USB storage" it doesn't show up on my PC devices anymore.

Does anyone have any ideas? I can't even restart my phone with the current ROM on as it just hangs on the loading screen. I am considering trying the re-formatting of the SD card again as that seems to be the cause of my latest problem, but I'm reluctant with me having the ROM available on it (even though I can't get to it) because if that's the only way I can fix it and I end up re-partitioning it then I'm screwed :(

Help is hugely appreciated!:D

Remember I am a n00b though so I apologise if I don't understand an instruction/terminology!

EDIT: I've managed to get my SD card visible again whilst in recovery thankfully so it is just the issue of installing the ROM left
[Desire General] Arkangel786:
Hi all,

I am on [ROM][Sense 2.1+3.0mix][02 June]RCMix S v2.0 CM7.

I've been using this rom for a c

few days now and its brilliant, but.....I have an issue which I can't seem to figure out.

All of my pictures have disappeared from the gallery. I have a backup on my pc which I put back into the DCIM folder but a couple of hours later all the pictures have disappeared again. My music and apps are all ok but my photos have all disappeared.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.
[Desire General] smhouston:
This is now resolved. I had to make sure the SD card was mounted properly on the phone, and had to attempt to install the ROM a few times, as well as having to change the ext to 1GB. Seems to be working fine so far and apps are installing so I'd advise anyone to definately go with 1GB!!

Btw the flashable CM7 zip is available in the same post. In general I would recommend searching the InsertCoin thread when encountering problems as the two ROM's are very closely related.
[Desire General] Random_her0:
Hey guys,

Read through but couldn't find anyone with the same issue with me so decided to reply.

I have CM7 r2 (that's the one now available) flashed but when I try to flash the CM7 Rom v2.0 the install bar doesn't fill up (and doesn't last very long) before saying it's done and telling me to reboot.

upon rebooting the phone loads into the standard CyanogenMod (if it loads at all, it often gets stuck on the AlphaRev 'joker' screen).

I've also tried the stock HBoot version, this time it actually boots into HTC sense but i get constant messages letting me know an application has crashed and i can't click on things like settings as I get an error saying it is no longer there. There is also a low disk storage notification up at the top, which seems odd.

Please let me know if you need anymore info, and thxs for all help in advanced.

Edit: May or may not be significant but the same thing happens with the CM7 version of InsertCoin
[Desire General] cyrusthevirus41:

Coming from Oxygen im still on 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and im getting really crappy reception.
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
@Random_her0 Did you make ext partition, 1GB recommended?

@cyrusthevirus41 One in my sig.
[Desire General] adamkx7xdesire:
I know that this question is general and already posted but...

is there any chanse to improve multi touch ????

i remember when i was on RCMix HD somewhere about v2.0 that playing NOVA or Quake or other shooters wasn't so hard... but later it was sometimes horrible...

i know that htc desire has hardware issue but i think it could be better than its now...

or maybe its again only my problem...
[Desire General] preetkk:
I have this "RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot" installed.

I have got my 8gb SD card partitioned to 4gb fat32 and 3.5gb ext4

My internal storage is still going down (from initial 126mb) to 119mb after downloading 60mb worth of apps from the market.

Normally I use the recovery mod to partition the sd card but the latest clockwork hasn't got the option :confused: So I used ubuntu to partition my SD card. With those figures I guess I done it correctly?
[Desire General] Random_her0:
Yeh that was it thanks, wasn't partitoned correctly. Working well now, cheers :)
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
@preetkk First 3.5GB ext is too much, maximum recommended is 2GG. Market had issues with bigger one, maybe is solved nowadays.

Second, You installed 60MB of applications and lost only 7MB of the internal storage. Obviously rest of 53MB went somewhere :)

A2SD+ works that way. Bigger part of application goes to ext, usually small user data goes to internal. This much faster then D2SD.

what do i do? i've tried with two different SDcards and their both giving me the same problem..

When I had 1gb on a previous rooted android I kept running out... so thought i'd go for more. So far I haven't had no problems installing apps from the market. The largest app I downloaded was only 20mb
[Desire General] 777ace:
Was pretty bored at work yesterday, so decided to play some tunes on my phone. Ran the battery dead...and I mean, dead. It seems that nothing was aaffected by this, except I no longer have Touch Input keyboard. I was using just yesterday, before battery died, but now cannot find it anywhere. Ran nandroid backup and reflashed 2.0, but still no Touch Input...

I intend to find the apk in my original download and replace it onto my phone, but which directory do I look under to find it?

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7

(i have read and tried to understand as much as i can before asking, thanks in advance.)

currently using leedroid rom

all i want is phone to work, i want gingerbread, and i want apps on sd

dont need any other fancy stuff (S-On is fine for me, stock hboot is fine for me, a2sd is fine for me)

I intend to do this:

1) titaniumbackup + nandroid

2) Download RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip

(can anyone tell me what the "DT-A2SD+ BravoHbook" version is?)

3) copy rom to sd card

4) boot into recovery/clockworkmod

5) wipe data & dalvik cache

6) install rom

7) reboot (wait for the slow reboot)

My Questions:

1) are the above steps appropriate correct?

2) If i use stock boot, can i ignore the "Custom Hboot that are used in Rcmix" section? (im just a bit confused coz i would think that stock boot would mean i dont need to flash a custom hboot, but there is a "A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT" heading right underneath)

3) where does "Autoinstall tutorial for dummies" come into all of this? (do i need to create the Robocik folder? what is it for?) (am i even using the autoinstall script with the above steps?)

4) Probably asked this already, but can i ignore flashing a hboot and all that stuff on goldcards?
[Desire General] 777ace:
Before anything else, you will need to update this to 0.93. Many folks, including myself, have reported issues trying to flash RCMix/InsertCoin ROMs on the lower HBoot number.

You can do this by first running the latest RUU for your phone, which you can download from HTC. This will un-root your phone, so you will have to go thru that again, but you will have no issues flashing RCMix.

Everything else seems fine, except on Step 5, you should wipe data then in mounts and storage, format cache, data, system, sd/ext, then wipe Dalvic.

EDIT: Also, yes, you will need to set up for AutoInstall as instructed. This will basically hold all your apps for you and reload them once you reboot. After that is done (give it ten minutes), Titanium restore all data...the AutoInstall does not save the data for you. After that, reboot, then you will see only some of your data has restored, so go back to Titanium and restore Bookmarks, Desktop and SMS again. Then reboot and all will be well. (Note, the requirement for extra restore is noted in Robo's thread)
[Desire General] tunesonic:
thanks mate

im planning to follow these instructions to RUU:

[Desire General] solsoi:
Lots of thanks to the developers and community. I read for many hours, but still that leaves very much a noob:

After I followed the noob proof flash guide, yesterday, I used the Android flasher to change the hboot to CM7.

I forgot that that would keep my current Rom from booting. I had assumed I could put the RcMix Rom on afterwards, but of course that didn't work. So to clarify, I am rooted, S-off with Alpharev (1.8 at first then changed to CM7 r2), I have a 1gb ext4 partition on the SD.

The phone will go into recovery and fastboot, but not boot past the alpharev screen. What can I do from here, (1. as is) (2. by putting files on my SD from externally, where I would have to buy an adapter). Could I change back, so from CM7 r2, to what I had previously to boot with the standard Rom?

So... I hope I explained it clear, were the steps I did, right?

Well, thank you lots in advance :) Anyone wanna help a hand?

EDIT: so the fastboot says the following now:

AlphaRev CM7 r2

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

and the date i'll type it if anyone cares... ;)
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Just go to recovery, mount your sd card to PC over USB, copy rom what you wish to flash, do full wipe and flash rom again. In case you can't mount sd card to USB, then follow USB brick procedure in fastboot:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot oem eraseconfig
[Desire General] 777ace:
solsoi, looks to me that all the steps you took were correct, except the part about assuming your ROM would load on different HBoot. But you knew that already and nothing is badly broken, so nevermind.

I recommend you spend a few euro on a card reader... Mine has come in very handy on many occasions and cost very little. Once you have your reader, you can take your SD from phone, insert into reader and load whichever ROM onto it that you wish. Then replace card into phone, boot to recovery and flash.

Too easy :)
[Desire General] slinemfc:
Do I need to flash a new hboot or can the process be done using the stock hboot on a rooted s-on device?

I seem to be having problems installing the Evolutionary Sense ROM.

I have installed it but nothing is working on it. Firstly during the setup page when i need to enter my Google account details, i click in the text box and the keyboard Force Closes. So i skipped that process and got into the main interface and when i click on 'Settings' it says "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone"..

I have tried re-installing the ROM a couple of times and its still doing the exact same thing. ...I have partitioned the SD card with 1gb ext3....I full wiped phone before installing ROM ...

I have looked over at the Tutorial and it mentions that the device would reboot 3 times, but my phone doesnt do that, it doesnt reboot at all! It goes through all that 'Firing Up...' and i then have to unlock it with the trackpad to get it to get to the 'Setup' process. I thought i downloaded a corrupt ROM so i downloaded a new one but i still get the same situation.

Any ideas????

Luckily i made a Nandroid backup so at least my phone is usable again
[Desire General] Zeljko1234:
Did you download right version for your Bravno hboot? Do you s-off your phone? Some roms need s-off. I don't know for RCMix anymore because I have so-off like many others including robo.

If you wish to s-off, I recommend to first flash rooted stock froyo.
[Desire General] acuk:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

I downloaded the RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot.zip version and my phone is s-on.
[Desire General] slinemfc:
Did you also download the RCMixS_2.0.1_update.zip?
[Desire General] acuk:
No i haven't downloaded the update, but i have managed to get it working though!

I decided to have one more bash at it so i started from the very beginning and put my SD card in my PC and loaded GParted...and there it was.. the ext3 partition i had created before was gone!! So i created the partition again, and flashed. It all now works! Keyboard, Settings etc all work.
[Desire General] musakoko:
help! i cannot download any apps anymore on my desire (official market or black market or getjar.com)

i tried to login and logout on talk and reload martket. Did not work

I also have an error saying i have low memory left when it does install(when i check there is over 100mb free space sd and internal memory)

I am using stock Hboot (also tried cm7 hboot with the right rom ofcourse..)

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Desire General] mr-paul:
What does the Update zip do?

Do I flash that after I have flashed either of the stock or CM7 roms?

Also, just checking, the CM7 HBOOT is now version CM7 r2, I'm guessing this is ok to use?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] solsoi:
Thank you Zeljko1234 and 777ace. The new card with card reader should arrive very soon. Then I will continue with wipe and flash and assume nothing was broken.

So nice to know there is help!

[Desire General] slinemfc:
From what I am aware, the update is to do with LED issues. I haven't flashed it though so only going on what I read.
[Desire General] neocpe:
The update zip is a LED fix.

I tried installing the CM7 HBOOT version with the alpharev CM7 r2 HBOOT but it didn't work. I'm not sure if it's just me but i got it working with the old CM7 HBOOT.
[Desire General] solsoi:
I was unable to install the latest Rom v02 with hboot CM7r2. I have done wipe and had one ext4 990mb. I doubt that that was too small, but who knows.

So after all I flashed standard hboot and put leedroid on it for now.

One question I have. Is it possible to do the following steps: install your rom, do full first boot, reboot into recovery and restore nandroid backup in order to get your system data (sms, call log) and also apps (+data) back? Or does this restore the rom of the time of backup as well? Does nandroid also backup the radio, bootloader and recovery?
