Works here too, finally!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dallatorre:
Hello mans, as you can see from my messages i'm new, i'm here just for the Custom roms and program-developing help.

well yesterday I decided to change the desire OS and choosing from the semi-official 2.3 to a custom rom i found this that seems stable as they say and it got the new sense interface that i like because I'm not searching for a powersaver/minimal android but a good-first looking.

so I easily rooted my phone and changed the bootloader with alpharew.

after 2 tryes i managed to get the CM7 R2 hboot.

after that it was a challenge...first of I made a back up, installed the rom and the fixes. I got a boot loop. after some panic (coz backup wasn't doing anything) i started to search everywhere for infos when finally I found a comment on a blog that sayd that the sd must be partitioned with the ext4 of at least 1gb!

after that it was pretty simple i installed the packet for synk the extension, the rom and it worked without boot fix.

i fixed the weather app with the package and now seems done.

BUt ...ther's everytime a but...

if i go to power efficiency when I lock and unlock the phone it looses my location weather dataand i need to manually synk them, but after another schreen lock they go away another time.

and when i pull down the upper bar it start to come down nearly 0.8 seconds from when i touch it.

uh, a strange thing is that today, when I was going to take a walk with my dog I wanted to try the srs or other stuff from the new music app and my battery was "yellow" i'm shure it was yellow, no red or black with red square and slash, after 50 seconds of audio reproduction my phone shut down and it wasn't restarting as it have reached the minumum cell voltage.

this was pretty scary!

and why if I make a complete reboot it takes minutes for turn on? a lot of time stays on jocker face and more on the htc splashschreen.

but if i turn off normally it restarts as fast as a pc in suspension mode.

is there some fix that i must install ? sorry but i cannot post in dev and that thread is a labyrinth! choosing a random page i found something like an mms bugfix but nothing explayns... :(

please can someone help this noob (me) finding what i'm searching for?

tank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
Hmm... A lot here to answer, but here goes...

1) Most ROM's here use a2sd which requires a partitioned sd card to move apps to your sd card instead of keeping them on the phones memory. Usually a 1gb ext3 or ext4 partition is ok, with the rest of your sd card fat32. Use GParted to do this as it's the easiest method I've found (you can get it here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php).

2) Always always always read the first comment in a thread as it'll tell you information you'll need to flash a ROM. The first comment in the ROM you have chosen says "EXT4 Partition For A2SD". This would have told you you needed an ext4 partition.

3)By turning on power efficiency you are turning off auto sync. Which means you will have to manually sync things like weather all the time when you wanna use it. If you want it to sync automatically turn off power efficiency.

4) The Cool3D 3.0 Sense ROM is still in it's early stages. There are still some lags that haven't been fixed. The notification bar is one of them. The best way to get the ROM moving faster is to update the kernel. There's a few good kernels around which you can try (snq / bananacakes etc), and you can find them in the development section. Experiment and find one that works well for you.

5) If the battery is yellow it means it's getting low. HTC Sense uses a lot of power to make it look pretty. Battery life is not great. Best thing to do is always start the day on a full charge, and try a battery saving app such as "Juice Defender" from the market. If you want your battery to last longer maybe try using an aosp ROM instead of a Sense ROM.

6) A complete re-boot means the phone has a lot to do before it can re-start. A lot of data has to be read by the phone from a completely switched off state to fully awake. This takes time. HTC Sense has a lot going on to make it look pretty, and it takes time to load all of this. A hot restart does not completely shut everything down so it doesn't take so long. It basically shuts down and restarts all of the running applications without completely shutting down the system.

There's no quick fixes for all of these things. What you've got to remember is that the good old Desire was never designed to run a ROM with this much going on, so it's working hard to do everything.

Cool3D AceS is only in it's second version. Give it some time and it will get faster and smoother with the next versions.

If it is really too slow for you I suggest trying InsertCoin 1.1.4 which you can find here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016940

It's not quite as pretty, but is still HTC Sense and very fast.

Hope this helps. If it does, click "Thanks".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi1706:
When you make a complete reboot, the phone completely shuts down and boots up again, which means it will have to go through all the boot process and system checks which will take a while. However, when you turn off normally (pressing power off), it will not shut down completely but instead hibernates (HTC Fast Boot Feature). So when you switch it on again it just restores your previous state which makes it faster in booting up (7 seconds boot up according to HTC) :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dallatorre:
tank you for the answer, of course i clicked thank you!

yes i notice that the fast boot is incredible! but I think that sometimes is good to reboot.. is it true?

well the battery life is good, I charged it up yesterday, for the night shut off and till this early morning it's in the run, half time with wi fi, a bit of music, lot of messaging, 20min of hotspot and i got pretty good state, now i'm installing some program and it got -2 levels to full . the battery drain seems more or less the same as before, it doesn't lag it's just perfect it have just that bar-glitch and the autoscroll to right when moving and keep pressed the touch but it's not annoying.

2) oh I found it on the link for alignment...

4) i red somewere taht the new kernel makes the phone lag.. so I'm not shure about what to do and how I should install them? what can chenge for the outher OS? (rom)

If a fix will come out for this rom where i can know when/where it is uploaded? will it be posted on the first post of the rom?

btw i'm searching for a rom that gives me sense 3.0, i saw insert coin, seems something really professional as the japanese iOS semi-replica (that is hilarious)

I'm searching for something that gives to the phone a tech, advanced and over completed look so i'm gonna keep this until it will reveal me a big bug. and if it's good enought a donation can be really good for developers.

btw if you know some bugfix that is not listened and it's needed tell me plz

tank you again!

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
Hello, I'm back again, in the Q&A section. :P

So I found a few threads regarding the touch screen on other phones, but I want to ask here so I can be sure...

So a little while after permanently rooting my phone, the touch screen started acting weird... To be specific, I downloaded Dotty, to see where it shows you where the point on the touch screen registers, and near the top, at a little horizontal sliver of the screen, any time I touch there it splits up the point into two different points, right outside of that sliver.

It's made that very difficult to select certain things on the screen, but sometimes the problem goes away after locking and unlocking the phone.

I just want to confirm with someone that this doesn't have to do with a bad ROM or a mistake on my part, as I've flashed multiple ROMS, and gotten the same results. I also tried wiping the phone, but no luck.

The ROM I'm currently using is MikShift - v1.01

If this is a hardware issue, then I guess I'll just have to remove any evidence of rooting the device, and take it to a store, but I was hoping if anyone else has any insight on this.

Thank you.

P.S. I've only had this phone for around 3 or 4 days.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
I think this is probably a problem with the hardware. I remember several months ago other people reporting the same problem, maybe just a batch of bad devices. Touchscreen should be %100 functional regardless of the ROM your using.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
Okay, that's kind of a downer,thanks anyways though.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
#1 thing I have noticed with touchscreen problems: CLEAN THE SCREEN WITH A PAPER TOWEL AND ALCOHOL!!!

2) Uninstall dotty.

3) If that doesn't work, try running fix permissions from clockwork.

4) If that doesn't work there is a touchscreen calibration app in the market I forget what it's called.

5) If that doesn't work wipe the phone completely, and try flashing the latest Cyanogenmod nightly and the latest google apps and see if you have the same problem.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

You are too quick. :P
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
well if you have only had the phone a couple days they should replace the phone no questions asked.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
I'll try these...

Thank you for the options, I was only assuming it was a hardware problem because everywhere else I looked online, with other phones, that's what people said. I'll try all of these things, and post on the results.

EDIT: Okay, I uninstalled Dotty ( I'm not sure what the point of that was, however), I tried the fix permissions, and I couldn't find the calibration app. If anyone knows where it is, that sounds useful, but I searched and searched. Next, I guess I'll just have to find something optimal for cleaning screens, since I don't think we have alcohol anywhere. I'll try flashing Cyanogen too, since that's easy. Also, there have been times when the touch screen stops working completely.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
No luck :P

Okay, I've tried all of the above, without luck. I'm all ears if anyone has any final advice, but it's really not that much of a hassle to restore everything to the factory default, and take it down to a Sprint Store.

I'm not quite sure how to set everything back to how it was when I got the phone, yet, but I imagine there are guides for that already.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
Just run RUU
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
I've already got it back to default, but that probably would've been a faster idea. XD Thanks anyways, though.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
No problem buddy! Good luck and let us know how it goes!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
Superuser is still around

So like always, I apparently missed the fact that superuser is still on the phone, and quite difficult to remove...

So would flashing the radio fix that? I've dug around a little, but I'm not quite sure which file I should be flashing, or where I can get it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crump84:
If your planning on taking it back to Sprint you'll need to turn s-on, not just remove super user. Run the ruu, you can find mirror at the bottom of the first post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255474

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Econ212:
I have had this problem with two Shifts, and both were replaced by Sprint as faulty hardware. It is quite annoying. I would RUU and take it back.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
Yep, I do intend on taking it back.

And thank you crump, I'd be lost without all the awesome people like you on this forum.

I'll do that.

EDIT:

So I checked the page, and all I see is stuff about 2.2... The phone came with 2.3 so this might be a dumb statement but I'm assuming that I'm to run the 2.2 RUU, and upgrade normally back up to 2.3 from there. If I'm wrong, please let me know, otherwise, I'll have at it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
You could also just use the 2.3 RUU for GB. It's posted on THIS thread.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsointeresting:
OR you could just run the 2.2 ruu and not update and let them know you were rooted as a sign of your anger and protest :D

but thatll probably just piss them off and not replace it....I would personally do it tho :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitellama:
That suggestion made me smile, but I don't want to take any chances...

And thank you for the 2.3 RUU link! I will download at once!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Econ212:
Welp, my phone just started this too. This marks number 4 for me. I'm getting tired of replacing these things. It's been an average of 1 every two months!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
Seriously? I've had the same shift since day 1! That scares the crap out of me if mine ever actually does break. Are they making/refurbing them with cheap lower quality parts or what?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honorlost84:
You could revert back to 2.2 and accept the ota... That should load the new hboot. If that doesnt work then i dont know. Most roms Ive had turns off the ota. For good reason i might add. But you can get a hold of one that you can turn it on with. Or get stock 2.2 and update.

[HTC Wildfire S] jikantaru:
Use Titanium backup then wipe data and uninstall Market, then restore app data from this file http://www.mediafire.com/?8b2htkdd99r6q6n copy to folder titaniumbackup.

When copying 3 files to sdcard, after you need to kill titanium backup app from advance task manager, then rerun it to read the Old Market backup.

In Titanium Apps scroll to the lowest down, and you'll see Market restore it.
[HTC Wildfire S] wasousky:
Which market its better for you? Its true that the new market is slower than the old?
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Old market is obiously faster, but the new market has many new features like books etc. and also makes going through large lists of apps much easier to do. The ads look cool and it also has PIN protection for purchases so if you have a payment method saved, noone can buy an app without having to put in the PIN you set in the market settings. :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prozac4312:
So last night I flashed my nook Color with CM7...works great, love that my nook is now a full featured tab instead of an eReader with some tab features...I have a few questions though:

1. Netflix installed fine, however any video I play is very out of sync and a bit choppy. I'm sitting right next to my router (wireless N 300, 30Mbit connection from my ISP)...is there a workaround?

2. Is there any way to get the stock nook store app back? I tried 'nook reader for Android', but upon first launch it said that the books that I already had weren't compatible with my device, and upon subsequent launches I can't click anything, it freezes as soon as it opens.

3. No matter how many times I set it/reboot my device, I cannot make 'screen unlock protection' work. I've tried the 4 digit code, pattern, and password, and upon setting any of them, turning the screen off and back on, it goes straight to the home screen with no need to unlock.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnclock:
Not sure I am going to be much help but as far as the Netflix issue, you may need to change your build prop to reflect a different model/manufacture. I did this before and I have not had an issue yet. Here is the link for that in the forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078123&highlight=Netflix

You may also want to try the rotation build ones. For the Nook Color I love them because my case folds one way, and the rotation allows for proper viewing. Here is the link for that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178425.

I personally use the pattern lock on my device and do not have any issues. Though I think at one point I did (old age getting the best of me), and I am wondering if it works because I use ADWLauncher home screen.

I never really liked the Nook Reader and use only the Aldiko Reader so I cannot answer you on that either.

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteri..._26?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1316372694&sr=1-26

Read an article in the HTC Sensation forums where many of the posters picked up an Anker battery as a "Why the hell not for $15?" deal and had generally positive results. Did a search and not only does Amazon sell multiple varieties of Anker batteries, but many of them have a ton of positive reviews.

Before all the battery naysayers jump in and shout "You can't get an extra 300mah in a stock battery! It's another chinese scam and it's probably only 1.03mah!" the Sensation people explained it as being noticeably thicker than the stock battery while still fitting snugly inside the battery door. A good 1mm thicker at least.

Anyway, bought myself a pair along with a car charger for $30 for two batteries, a car charger, and a USB charger. Will let you all know if its a huge letdown, or if the positive reviews aren't just Chinese robots blowing smoke up our you-know-what.
[Vibrant Accessories] rakeshchn:
Hey can you do a favor? Install battery calibration app from market and tell us how many mV (Milli volts) it say when the phone is truly 100% charged.
[Vibrant Accessories] tooeasyforkevin:
interested in seeing how those batteries are

was about to buy one

keep us posted
[Vibrant Accessories] kaintfm:
I've read in some of the comments on Amazon that they work best when the wall charger is used, though that may be because the wall charger keeps it at 100% while charging inside the phone causes the battery to drain down to 90% if left on the charger after it reaches 100%. Of course, the battery monitor won't tell you that to keep Samsung's support lines from clogging.

Thankfully this is Amazon and not the overseas shipping I had to deal with with my last battery, so it should arrive (according to Amazon) somewhere between the 23rd and 28th. Will test it heavily with my current ROM and let you all know how it fairs.
[Vibrant Accessories] shrapnelx:
mV will not tell you anything about the capacity of a battery, only how close to fully charged it is.
[Vibrant Accessories] kaintfm:
True. If it's anything like the stock or mugen battery that I have, it'll cap out around 4250 for Froyo, 4200 for MIUI/Gingerbread.
[Vibrant Accessories] vlad84:
Momax 1700mah is fine and chip.
[Vibrant Accessories] kaintfm:
Well, while discharging the first battery through normal use, I was actually getting a little frustrated that it was taking so long. Got about 24hrs out of it from wall charge to phone shut off, including about 8 - 9hrs of overnight standby.

Got the second battery off the charger and into the phone, and after about an hour it's still showing at 100% and 4100 - 4180ish millivolts.

Anyone, nothing is decided just yet. Will have to see how they hold up after the first 5 full charge and discharges that "sets" the batteries internal memory. Or whatever.

I thought these AOSP ROMS were supposed to drain battery, dammit!
[Vibrant Accessories] kaintfm:
Just about done "Breaking In" the new batteries. Two things: On the surface, they seem to last quite a while given the last time I tested the Mugen battery I was on Froyo and I'm now on MIUI.

From what I've heard, Gingerbread on the Vibrant, whether it's an i9000 leak like Malice or built from the ground up like Cyanogen 7 or MIUI, tends to burn battery faster than on Froyo. I'm also using different voltage settings, a different kernel... you all get the idea.

Apart from flashing back to Froyo, or completely redoing tests on my stock and Mugen batteries on top of the new Anker battery, whatever results I get will be a bit skewed.

Also, MIUI seems to allow the battery to get further down in power before shutting it off. Froyo would often cut me off around 3700, but I usually see MIUI showing battery power as low as 3300 before shutting down.
