[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javijavito:
Thanks for this post. It was really helpful for me!!

I had a lot of problems trying to boot the rom (always stuck in the htc screen log). In my case the problem was the SD partition. I tried ROM Manager method and with the windows miniapplication but finally I had to do it with Linux and Gparted. I recommend it to format SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s300pmu1:
Glad for you! Good to know that FAQ is working and the solutions are correct.

Strange that minitools didn't work for you - however, for me Gparted (strangely) didn't work, neither in virtual machine nor on the real one. Minitools worked for me like a charm, though - so looks like it's a mirrored version of your story :)

That's why there are so many ways listed, for people to find the ones that work for them.

NB! AlphaRev HBOOT mix up

Hi all, I'm new to this data++ so I may be wrong but I noticed this while following the guide:

When you go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the HBOOTs in the "download" column of the table you are downloading the "bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img" regardless of what the file name says. I checked the MD5SUM and every link in that column gives you the CM7r2 HBOOT.

however if you download the zip files ("PB99IMG_oxygenr2" ect.) and extract the hboot.img file it is the correct one.

Just thought you should know in case you unknowingly flashed the incorrect HBOOT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s300pmu1:
Thanks for the heads up, but looks like you're not entirely correct.

Just tried, everythings works as it should.

Most likely your browser acting up - try wiping browser cache...

This is my 3rd attempt of putting this ROM (A2SD+ version) on my HTC Desire. Each time I don't see that it is using ext3 for apps? I have just put ROM once again and checked free internal mem. It is 137 MB. My ext3 has 1 GB. What do I do wrong? First time I did the all patch of ext3. This time, I didn't.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s300pmu1:
Your free internal memory will not be shown as 1GB or whatever size your sd-ext partition is. This is the case only with DATA2EXT roms, where \data is symlinked to sd-ext completely.

If you still like LeeDroid ROM more than those with data2ext, but the memory is insufficient for your needs, you can try using the data++ version. It still won't give you the same memory as DATA2EXT rom would, but it is generally faster and usually more stable. In case the memory will still be insufficient, you could move dalvik to sd-ext using anderl78's script as also described in this FAQ.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivazghr:
OK. Thanks. I will try with data++, since I like this ROM. Hope I will be sucessful, since I'm just a regular user. I tried 2-3 ROMs, and this is the first one where I can use VPNC Widget and I don't expirience so much processes crashes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s300pmu1:
I can understand you - of the 5 roms I've tested, this one is the most stable and fast. I understand this FAQ is TL;DR, but I do suggest you read it carefully prior to flashing.

If you find anything described in insufficient detail, feel free to ask, this will also help me improve the FAQ.

BTW, I have about 160 apps installed (although not much of them are "heavy", and still have about 70 mb free internal space without having moved the dalvik to sd-ext).

Prepare the new one with Gparted.

That is what I did.

any ideas how i can sort this please?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
Look at settings, sounds, volume. There is a checkbox, disable it, set the volume for notifications... Perhaps it works... Never heard from such a behavior...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s300pmu1:
It's in the one-stop download section of this FAQ at the bottom of the page )

I know the FAQ is TL;DR, but flashing "is a serious business".

However, if you're a windows user, I'd suggest trying minitools partition wizard (also listed there) first, as it is far easier and does not require a reboot. If you fail using it, you can always try Gparted later.

Hi, I have a Lee 3.0.7 based ROM, and want to try the auto-brightness mod, without losing the UOT mod I've made.

Thing is, I've tried cooking a mod twice uploading the framework and SystemUI file from the modded brightness file, and I get an SHTF error in the kitchen.. Any way around this..?? If I apply the auto-brightness mod, then the old UOT mod I made, will it make a difference?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomLeeDesire:
ahah

You forgot to update com.htc.resource from the rom ;-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genie4all:
Great FAQ thread, learned a lot indeed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafithegreat:
You mean upload the HTC resource file to the UOT kitchen? I didn't do this since I used the no-sense patch, making me think that it was now considered a GB ROM without sense...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafithegreat:
oh, and when cooking the theme, should i use the Amend scripting or Edify? I use CWM 2.5.0.1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
Your cwm should do the job with both.

Amend - older version

Edify - newer one. In newer cwm the only supported one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
I really recommend too to upload the com.htc.resource from the rom.zip to UOT-kitchen - perhaps you have such a theme who needs to change this file too.

If you flash old UOT-file over the autobrightness patch, the patch will be lost.

If your problem still exists, send me a PM with a download-link to your theme. (the unmodified version needed - the one which is running on your phone without autobrightness patched)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
No, its still a sense-based Rom. Only the htc-widgets, some htc-apps and the launcher is removed...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi,

I just redo the uot theme with systemui and framework coming from Anderl's darker zip file and com.htc.resource.apk from the lee's rom.

I flash the UOT file directly without any wipe.

it does the trick.

Do your uot theme and select data++ on file upload tab.

advice not using gradient mui on battery mod and animated background for notification, this wil FC the taskbar.

hope this help

when coming from leedroid 2.4 with a2sd, do i need to reformat/wipe my ext3 partition before installing the new ROM?

thanks a lot!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
Reformat is usually not necessary. A wipe is recommended, but you can try without. If its not working, wipe and flash again... :-) I recommend to stay away from alignment patch... :-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidxda:
Thank-you, but how to know if I need to apply it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssonik:
I'm still hazy on what issue the alignment patch is supposed to fix. Suffice to say, most people will be able to flash this rom without issues, and without the alignment patch. If your phone still refuses to boot, or runs slow, then the alignment patch may help in that instance.

Edit: It fixes a bootloop ironically :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidxda:
Thank you for your answer.

It's clear now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
First, try to flash the alignment patch again. Then try to mount sd-ext in recovery. If its working, all should be ok - flash the Rom.

If its not working, you have to reformat your sd-card with gparted or minitool - see first post for a howto and dl-links...

Greetings from Germany. Phone runs on 2.2 Android with Kernel 2.6.32.9 root @ SE-S608#1

The Samsung Kies says

PDA:JPH

PHONE:JPP

CSC:JPA (ORS)

I wanted to upgrade to Gingerbread, but Kies says its already running on the newest available (Froyo). Im using the english version of Kies, think it doesn't matter?

1. Im using the german O2 Network, and I think the phone is not branded or rooted cause its new. Is the Gingerbread not out yet for my phone version ? :(

2. Can I flash the newest firmware like 2.3.4 by using Odin - WITHOUT rooting the phone - (rooting voids the warranty) ? :rolleyes:

3. Is there currently any good custom ROM which is perfectly stable and has none bugs or lacking functions of official Gingerbread 2.3 ? :)

I listen to a ton of audio books and would love it if i could turn my camera button into a pay/pause toggle when my phone is locked (much like plugging and unplugging headphones does).

I have done a lot of searching but found nothing so far. I am running stock rooted atm but will flash to anything that could pull this off.

Anyone know of such a beast?
[Epic 4G General] Pointless816:
Assuming you're rooted, go to the market and download a terminal emulator and astro file manager. From there, use astro to navigate into /system/usr/keylayout

copy s3c-keypad and stick it on your sdcard. Long click on it, choose open as, then text, then file editor. Scroll down till you hit the keys in the 40's. From there you have two options: key 46, which is the camera launcher, and key 56 which is the focus button. Modify either one of those, depending on your preference to: MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE WAKE_DROPPED, then save the file. next, open up your terminal emulator, and type the following:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cp -f /sdcard/s3ckeypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout

Failing that, there is something called music control lite in the market, though I've never used it so I don't know the details. You may also be able to set something up through Tasker. Good luck!
[Epic 4G General] boutwell:
You, sir, are entitled to a cold one on me if you ever come through Memphis :)

The only exception to your excellent instructions that I made was to make it a WAKE function rather than WAKE_DROPPED and after a quick reboot it is working exactly as I had hoped.

Many thanks!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KCRic:
+1 On the wallpaper. Actually no, it's a fail.

1) The phone wouldn't even boot if the OS wasn't installed completely not to mention I've never seen an Android phone throw up the 'warning' like that. It just writes it to the log and reboots, crashes, carries on, or doesn't boot at all.

2) It's an obvious wallpaper because the widget sits in front of it. A warning would pop up in front of every other task if that's what Android did (normally it boot loops or crashes).

3) The phone info screen makes no sense. You can also edit the build.prop file to make the info screen say "your_mom_is_hot 5000.00.543.158" and the kernel could say "pot.head 2.35.420".

4) We've seen this sort of thing before. If you're going to fake it - make sure you don't have a bunch of Android geeks around to call you out.

5) If it's really 2.4 (which may not even be the number for the next version) then tell us, what's new? Oh it's smoother? Great, so is CM7 and MIUI. Smoother doesn't cut it, sorry. New features that we don't have are where it's at and are what proves it to us. So do it....
