[Desire Android Development] Psyco-Man:
Laggy ROM ?

Hi Droidzone ,

First of all i m a fan of all your roms and love the data2sd too.

i hope other users have this lags too and know what i m talking about.

since weeks i use now the gingerburst rom with data2sd and all is working well except those lags i have. sometimes it takes 5 seconds to get response from my phone.. i mean if i tap on an app to start it takes seconds to start the app ... i never felt this expirience with starburst with data2sd... i tried a other class 6 card too from other brand (installed everything fresh) but still have same problem.

the issue is right after installing without any app installed from me on it.

today i installed on a friends phone gingerburst too because he was on starburst and wanted mine rom too ,... he has same lags.

i think its a rom issue... it remembers me when i had setcpu on starburst clocked down, then i had same lags and waiting times.

is there anything done with the cpu speed in this rom?

it feels if the phone is in a kind of standby and when i touch the screen it cames out of the "sleep" mode and this takes time... it is just my kind of sight to this problem....

hopefully you can fix this with a flashable update.

the rom is really great and i know that you solve every problems...

best greets,

markus
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hi..StarBurst is fully adapted for Data2SD. It has a fully supported kernel, and also sqlite hacks which boost the performance tremendously. No GB rom can match its performance yet.. It's not solvable yet. :)

Thx DZ for your answer.

after i installed the two zips "activate all mods" & "Enable FS Write" the phone experience for me is much faster respondings than without.

how ever,.. good to know that it is a "normal" thing at this time.

i ll watching this thread and hope for solutions in the near future ;)

thx for your work

Hello

Just updated to this ROM after using StarBurst (OK) and trying Supernova (lag & problems)

Did full wipe, full SD card format with Gparted (class 6 sdcard, 1,8gb ext4 partition after fat32)

Phone is super slow... and I still have the same problems:

Bluetooth not working (can't turn on)

Fm radio not working

USB connect won't ask for options

Phone charging (usb or electricity) only begins after 5m after connection

What I'm doing wrong?

Any help or suggestions?

Many txs
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Lag issues

I really cant understand why you get the fm/bluetooth/charging issues, sorry. Never experienced this in my tests. Try the addon patches like Psyco-man suggested for the lag issues. If it persists, try another rom. There's little I can do to improve the situation, presently..

[Desire Android Development] himem:
Txs for the reply

Activate_all_modules.zip and MountFSWrite.zip? are these? just installed... checking performance
[Desire Android Development] himem:
maybe the radio is the problem?

I'm using 5.17.05.08 ... what do you recommend?

txs
[Desire Android Development] himem:
can anyone with stable installation help me? what radio are you using?

I've tried everything.. 3 times installation, same problems... very very slow, can't even install anything from market.

stardust was fine... but I really want to upgrade to 2.3, especially sense 2.1

:(((((((((((

Slow Wifi

Hello,

I've Gingerburst 1.0.0.3 on my HTC Desire..

But now i have very slow wifi... like 100 kbps but the signal is good.

My 3G is 30 times faster...

I already installed:

- Activate_all_modules.zip

- MountFSWrite.zip

and the latest radio:

- bravo.5.17.05.23.zip

still the wifi very slow only on my htc desire...

What can possibly be the problem? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
I've just taken the plunge (at last!) and installed this with a 1GB Ext4 partition. So far, it's really great! I'm loving it. Performance isn't incredibly snappy but then I've only actually got a class 2 card (with class 4ish performance) so to be honest I wasn't expecting miracles. I'm fine with that! I'll move to a faster card if I feel like I need to.

My only questions would be:

Java on the app list, what is that? It just force closes on start.

Other bits and pieces, am I okay to wipe them out, and delete any applications? Particularly task manager and some others I'll never use - I see task manager at least has integration into the notification pane and I don't want to break anything.

Task managers aren't worth it anyway, and this one reports different numbers to the Android system, so I'm not interested in it!

So yeah, are there any "mission critical" things I should leave behind or am I free to get busy with the system app deleter?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The apps you mentioned are all built in.. You can safely remove the ones in "DATA". Remove the rest at ur own risk by trial and error. If you want snappy performance, stick to StarBurst :)
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
Thanks for the rapid reply mate, I really appreciate it!

So what does Java do?

It's not a core part of Android so is it actually required for anything?

Other apps I'm up for getting rid of:

XDA (sorry! I'm a browser kind of man)

Plurk (What...what is plurk?)

File Expert (I prefer ES File Explorer)

Possibly AdFree - I'm all for no ads, but they give me the opportunity to show support for small developers so I don't mind them.

I'm guessing most of these apps I can just uninstall as normal, as they appear in the application list.

Is there anything you KNOW is important, so I know to avoid it? :-)
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
So I'm trying to remove HTC's Car Panel, except I can't for the life of me find out where it's hiding. I can't find it using ES File Explorer with root permissions, Titanium Backup can't see it where it should be (I've googled for the file name/location)

Any clues?

Thanks for all your help and work on this rom. It's beautiful!
[Desire Android Development] OpusX11:
Use FileExpert, and click on the App tab. You'll see it (at least I can in StarBurst), and I think you can uninstall it from there as well.
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
Aha, thanks, that worked! I've wiped out pretty much all of the HTC apps that don't directly link into sense - the ones I use I've left, like Facebook and Twitter. App sharing, Learn more, Car Panel, XDA, Plurk, LinkedIN and a few others! No problems yet. (And I imagine if there were to be any, I'd have experienced them by now.)

Interestingly, File Expert worked amazingly for some, Titanium Backup for others, and ES File Explorer for others still. Some just didn't want to be deleted by one or two of them. I've ended up deleting File Expert anyway as it was generally the weaker of the three and behaved very strangely when it failed to uninstall something (flashing up on notifications repeatedly, restarting only to crash again)

There's a noticeable lag when using this ROM but I suspect that's due to my (officially) class 2 SD card. It's not so bad that it's frustrating me though. And like you said Droidzone, I can always go to Starburst if I want the pleasure of your well integrated Data2SD without the fancy Sense 2.1 bits and pieces. I must admit I really like the improvements though!
[Desire Android Development] allenultra:
I'm not sure if this being asked in this thread before I try to search for answer in droidzone.in but couldn't find it.

Have downloaded all the files and ready to go to flash my pal's desire but what would be most recommended radio version?

I assume the latest version for Gingerbread shall do?
[Desire Android Development] jigners:
no ROM link in the mirror site, only the DATA2SDInstaller :(
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
That's right. Roms have been moved to file sharing sites (Hotfile/Easyshare). Sorry about that.
[Desire Android Development] hitoon:
Please provide us a direct link...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Read post 1 (end) please. Direct links will henceforth be offered through the password protected Donor links page on the site. Links on file sharing sites will be offered for the others.
[Desire Android Development] hitoon:
Then can you upload it somewhere else than easy share? Like this http://www.multiupload.com/ then it will provide many more choice than ES
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Both easyshare and hotfile have been added. If these sites are down for some reason, I will consider adding others.
[Desire Android Development] hitoon:
Where is the hotfile link? i always being redirected to ES when i click on the link here : http://gingerburst.droidzone.in/?page_id=24 ( sorry for my english )
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The site is supposed to randomly pick the Hotfile mirror. Anyway, here it is:

[Desire Android Development] hitoon:
Thanks! i will try your ROM and send a feedback

I did a full wipe, follow the installations steps correctly but when the phone start ( after installing data2sd ) i have 3 errors :

Droidzone.in site changes

Hi. Most of you must have noticed the few changes on Droidzone.in over the last week. There are both good and well, unpleasant ones too..

Added Multilanguage support for the site. Most of the mainstream languages have been added to the site. I'd like to get feedback on how it functions.

Direct links converted (back) to File sharing links. Donors will be provided the links on the password protected page like 'yester-days'. Kindly contact me for your passwords (preferably from your email id used for the paypal transaction, or your xda id if it's known to me)

Some ads on the site.

Sorry about the latter changes, but these will provide a slow trickle of revenue towards maintainance of the site and incidental expenses. Of course hosting and mirrors have been freely provided by c0urier and Daniel, but these will henceforth have downloads other than the Rom links. I understand that this is a nuisance, but is an unavoidable menace.

And I'm flabbergasted by the site stats. It tells me that there were more than 730 unique visits from the US alone yesterday.. But it seems to me that only users with issues bother to post on XDA or hit the Thanks button. Guys, if you love the Rom, Sibere and I would love to hear it from you too. Do post your good experiences too. Otherwise newcomers to the thread would get the impression that the Rom only has issues!!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Am I right in assuming that your Card is not a fast one?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No need to change your Radio. Try the one you have now.,

Update

Hi

At the moment I'm a very happy user of the supernova rom. Everybody is jealous bout my unlimited memory to install apps :) The only issue I have is random force closes on syncing the calendar, but it's livable and I don't know if it's rom related...

Now, I was wondering if i could 'update' my supernova rom to gingerburst easily. Is there any way to do it? Any help would be appreciated....

rgrds

Betawax
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
You shouldnt flash it over directly.

You can make Titanium backup (apps+system data) from Supernova, wipe everything, and follow first install procedure for Gingerburst, and finally restore Titanium data. In case you get force closes, you will have to restore "apps only"

Both have different sense versions, and like the case of every rom swap between incompatible versions, you cant flash 'over'.

I also recommend backing up your sms/mms with MyBackup root/Gosms pro, since Ti isnt adept at that.
[Desire Android Development] black3yed:
hi,

Thanks for this ROM.

I've tested some other ROM before (with sense 2.1, 3.0, or mix) and my phone always become laggy, after installing or using few applications, exept with this one.

I've installed it a few days ago, and my desire is still fast and smooth !

however I have a small issue with animated wallpapers:

The "grass" wallpaper makes android animated wallpaper crash,

and with "Galaxy" and "water", the sceen is black.

Is there a way to fix this ?

thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] water1309:
Hey Droidzone,

Love your ROM's. I'm currently on Starburst and it's great. However I'd love to use gingerbread and sense 2.1 or 3.

Since the new Ruu came out this morning, are you going to cook a new gingerburst version?

Furthermore I'd like to add that trying to install both gingerburst and starburst I had some problems that I think had something to do with the new Class 10 microsd card I used. It might be an idea to add to your first post that the HTC only officially supports up to class 6, because you also tell people that the higher the class, the faster the rom...

Also, I read somewhere here on xda that the CWM recovery sometimes flashes the EXT4 to an EXT3 partition. Therefore I would like to use 4EXTRecovery, but only of course if it's compatible with your roms. Could you tell me if it is?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The problem with wallpapers is a known issue. I'm not working on a fix right now because of the imminent release of the HTC original rom.. :)
[Desire Android Development] black3yed:
thanks DZ

a new gingerburst release ! can't wait for it :)
[Desire Android Development] tanclo:
Anyone know what version of Sense is in the newly released official update?

Would I be correct in assuming, we can't expect Asian languages in the new Gingerburst?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hey, I was talking about HTC releasing it!

Since noone has got it yet, specs are unclear
[Desire Android Development] howdid:
the "update" is here http://developer.htc.com/ first link
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks..

Downloading and checking..

I'll post my comments in the new forum.. Including a stock rooted version based on this..

Ok, GingerBurst will continue as a seperate Rom, while Supernova will be upgraded to the new Official release!

Noob?!

i love your rom.:)

But..... i installed like the instruction said, i waited for 30 minutes....

after getting start screen...phone is reeeeeeeally slow... waited for another 10 minutes...same result

Reboot again......30 minutes waiting, still reaaaaaaaaal slow..

Help?!?!?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
How can you possibly love my Rom after all that? :D

I'm getting the official rom ready. Try it when it's released and see..
[Desire Android Development] marcel112:
i will try but i'm afraid that will have to wait for about 10 days. i'm on holiday and i dont think they love it when i pull your rom over the wifi:eek:
[Desire Android Development] Zyhro:
Such a bummer i got the same problem. I'm s-on, 990mb ext3, cwm 2.5.something

I've been using Starburst happily without issues since January 2011. Just recently got a error after boot "inconsistent UID's" (or something).

So i thought why not upgrade to a new rom that has gingerbread, which led me here. Unfortanely i now have to resort to the latest starburst. (which seems to work fine after install so far..)

Hope it will get fixed eventually.

Either way, thanks droidzone for your passion we all can enjoy! :)
[Desire Android Development] tanclo:
People .. DZ tried his best but I think SuperNova was the best GB rom so far. GingerBurst was a nice project in theory and it was still imo, the best 2.1 experience for me.. having said that, it was too slow. So I dropped it the same way I dropped the other Sense 2.1 inventions.. all of them with very good plusses, but too many disadvantages.

The point is, you have to weigh up what you get and decide :-) I really liked GingerBurst because it gave me just enough of the new Sense experience. But frankly speaking, I will be happy with less Sense 2.1 and more Sense proper :-) like speed, and all the positives of having Sense on my little baby Desire. So I'm trusting DZ's release of the new ROM - will it have Sense 2.1? I really don't mind if it doesn't.. as long as it has the speed and it has the Gingerbread I need.

I'm guessing it will be SuperNova (Data2SD of course, with Sense 1) with all the proper source code and hardware will act better?
[Desire Android Development] Smii:
It's weird, over the last few days my Gingerburst install has got snappier and faster. Definately more responsive! I've not changed anything...in fact, I've installed more and more apps! (Catching up on all the ones I wanted to try but couldn't before because the limitations of the 140mb space.)

So, please all in all!

Are you going to be updating this with the official GB update, Droidzone?
[Desire Android Development] eNRGy:
FLAC

Hi, loving this ROM on my phone, thanks so much! Please could we get the FLAC codec added? Pretty please? :)
[Desire Android Development] TyKa:
Please add more link, high speed
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
High speed links are for Donors only..:D
[Desire Android Development] linasg:
just quick question: after installing your ROM will I be able to install stock ROM? Asking because after HTC dev rom installation no way to downgrade or to root.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No custom rom dev in his right senses would include hboot in a rooted rom, so yes, you should be able to go back any time. Just never ever install the RUU from HTC directly!

By the way, GingerBurst is a port. SuperNova is the one based on the latest GB from HTC
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
I cannot get the internet/data connection to work after the GingerBurst flash. Calls work fine, but no data/internet connection (asks to connect to Wifi). Tried *228, but no luck. Also tried flashing back to stock (data connection works fine), then re-flashing ginerburst, no luck. Any advice?

Thanks!

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Did you enter the APN details?
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
I did not. Did I miss that in the install instructions? I 'thought' I was thorough in reading through things and have never had to re-enter the APN details after other flashes?

Thanks,

tgt
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Install instructions are meant to tell you how to install a rom. Entering APN is part of how to use an Android phone. The ROM obviously cannot manage to contain apn details of thousands of cellular networks across the world. You can get apn from your service provider and enter it.
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
OK, thank you....I didn't realize that the APN settings were cleared with the GingerBurst ROM (Have flashed many ROM's in the past and simply haven't had to do that). I will look around for the APN settings and how to change them and try that route.

From what I saw the Gingerburst ROM looks terrific, I'm eager to try it. Thanks again.

-tgt
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No probs.. If you switch between roms often, install APN Backup and Restore
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
GB users, you can now upgrade to the latest SuperNova based on official HTC GB without data loss
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
droidzone -

I did try this as well (the backup and restore went fine), however, still no luck. I also tried flashing the SuperNova, but have the same issue. I have used CM in the passed without issue, any other ideas? Sorry to be a pain.

I tried to get into update my MDN and MSID, but cannot with the ##000000# in the custom ROM.

Gingerburst does work with CDMA devices (bravo)? Sorry for the foolish questions....but starting to grasp for straws here. The Desire actual says 'no service' on the menu when you unlock it (where you usually see the carrier listed), but as I said, voice is fine, just no data.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Woah.. Not at all. This is for the GSM Desire(=bravo). Yours is CDMA Desire(=bravoc)!
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
DAMN! :( OK, that makes sense now. :)

OK, thanks for the help. LOVE the ROM if it worked for CDMA. My apologies, I didn't see GSM or CDMA listed anywhere (I'm sure you've go it in there somewhere).

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
No I'm afraid I havent written that anywhere. Most CDMA Roms describe it specifically. Since the majority of users are on GSM. we dont usually specify that!
[Desire Android Development] tgt624824:
Gotcha, sorry for the aggravation. If you ever flip this over to CDMA I'll be the first in like.....looks well done!

Thanks again,

What do you mean by upgrade to official version? This is sense 2, while official version is sense.1.9 which is included in my supernova ROM
[Desire Android Development] butomus1:
which kernel would you recommend if you don't mind me asking
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
See my latest post on supernova thread please, for my answer
[Desire Android Development] shahin156:
Hi,

What I meant was if you could update the gingerbread version. The latest version is v3.14.405.1, and the gingerbread version of this rom is v2.36.405.8 if I am correct.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
If I'm not mistaken, Supernova is based on the latest official HTC Desire Gingerbread ROM. Any other version is designed for an other phone.
[Desire Android Development] shahin156:
I am actually using Supernova at the moment and yes as far as I know, it is using the latest gingerbread version.

However, I miss the Sense 2.1 customisation options etc :( that is why I was asking if the gingerbread version could be updated in this ROM. then this ROM, imo, would be perfect! :D:D:D
