I still face a plenty of Force Closes problem here, and everytime have to reboot the device, but it still will FC after few hours use and repeat the cycle...

Anyone can please help help me :( I like this ROM very much...

How I partition my SD Card:

1) via 4EXT Recovery Touch -> tools -> partition sd card -> remove all partitions and start from scratch

2) choose "1024MB" for 1st partition

3) choose "skip" for 2nd partition

4) choose "skip" for swap partition

5) choose "EXT4"

6) check partition aligment

How I wipe:

1) wipe data/factory reset

2) wipe cache

3) wipe cache + dalvik

4) wipe dalvik cache

5) format all partitions (except sdcard)

Copy downloaded lastest ROM into SD Card.

Check m5sum, install the ROM zip file.

Choose AD2SDX(my hboot is CM7 r2).

I have tried to flash this ROM from v4.0.0->v4.0.1->v4.0.3->v5.0.0->v5.0.1 for almost a week. But still having FC problem, have been reading all posts in this tread, I believe I did correct in SD Card paritition, but still FC...:confused:

i see. where can i get the snq kernel? i mean which one will work on my desire? i have check the thread for snq and i don't know which is which. i'm not sure for the terminologies (bcm4329.ko, nls_utf8.ko, cifs.ko, etc)

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] dtevegas:
agree, battery life great on 5.0 - regularly see 3ma in current widget. 4.x series was 4-5ma..

nearly as good as old insertcoin days (sense 2.1+) where you could get 2ma and get 3 days of light use
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
Revolutionary does it the other way round: first gives S-off, then you can flash a zip to get root. The endstate is the same, though.
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
Actually I used CWM recovery before, and I used that to partition my SD, which worked correctly.

Battery calibration

Thanks for the input. I was in the process of depleting my battery, just to verify if my calibration worked. I expected to be warned like in the previous version, when reaching 15%, but the phone just beeped and I only saw the down animation. I had GPS on indoors, just to eat the battery faster. Also the WiFi was connected.

I will follow the calibration procedure in your link, although it's similar to what I did. I'll report back. Thanks for the feedback.

Try formating card in "Gparted" using card reader & pc

delete all partitions

create new partitions in order FAT32 | EXT4 (1GB)

Give it a try using gparted on pc.. And just to make sure you have CM7/r2 hboot, go to bootloader and check if first line reads "alpharev cm7/r2" . Are you

S-OFF ?

Dianne Hackborn - 13.1.2012 - Veřejně

Today's myth debunking:

"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."

No, it does not.

This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.

That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."

It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.

Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away.

Change Your SD Card, for example Scandisk ultra mobile "bicolor" the You will see. I'm chenge my card one week ago, and every problems go to hell ;)
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
5.01 is the first combination of this ROM and kernel that has been able to hold it's charge at 100% whilst using the in-car dock and running Navigation (I use it 3hrs a day to work and back).

So a big thank you guys for all your hard work in making this a most excellent ROM!

Hi sebastiaan15

For me not work usb tethering and disk drive.

[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
Standard CMW doesn't have the partition tool. If you use alpharev, it installs a version of CWM recovery WITH a partition tool, however it doesnt support ext4.

You really need to start from scratch. S-off, install 4ext recovery from the link in my signature, use it to partition exactly as the other user indicated a few posts back. It DOES support ext4 partitiions.

Once you are s-off and have 4ext, you are free to install any rom you want.

READ THE OP!

Use the search facility..... look at peoples signatures and see what they are using and search for it.

Its not rocket science!

SNQ kernels available from a link in the op.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Install zip... bravo-2.6.35.8-snq-111118-no2wcr.zip

Then immediately flash this....

install zip... wifin_update-2.6.35.8-snq-111118-no2wcr.zip

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

You are doing it all correctly though with 4EXT touch recovery, you can do a full wipe with one touch..... I think its the last one in the menu. Then you know its a FRESH install.

Are you restoring apps using Titanium backup or similar?

If you are.... are you recovering apps only or apps + data.

A lot of FC issues can be caused by recovering apps + data. Small changes in the rom version, updated apps etc can cause all sorts of compatability issues.

If thats how you are doing it, try recovering apps only and see if that works.
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
I also think could be sdcard related problem, specially if your sdcard speed is low. If this is your case you can either change for faster sdcard or change for stock hboot and fc's will disappear.

Phone keeps rebooting

Hi Seb,

thanks for the great rom. It is indeed extremely smooth and fast as reported. I have one quite a annoying problem with quite a few of your roms that I never experienced with stock GB. It seems generally after 3-4 days the phone begins to reboot itself and once it starts doing this it continually reboots after 60-90s rendering the phone useless. This has occurred with version 3.xx, 4.03 and now 5.01( occurred after 24 hours after install). This also occured on wjman`s rom which I think is a modded version of your rom. The only way of getting around this is for me is to create a recovery back up after rom install and then perform recovery restore when the phone goes into this repeat reboot scenario.

I have tried two different brands of memory card and full wipes on every install. On the 5.01 install I used the back up everything app instead of backup pro to restore apps but still experienced the rebooting.

I have 1.3GB ext4, Stock Hboot, A2SD. Im not the best with phones so I`m a bit lost as to what to try next to resolve this problem. If there is any other information I can provide or send some sort of logfile that I can send to help please let me know. You will have to walk me through it as I am not as experienced as most of the guys on here.

Thanks in advance. Teb
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
Is your phone s-off (it will tell you near the top of the white hboot screen)?

I personally would start from scratch. Make sure its s-off, Install CM7/r2 hboot from http://alpharev.nl/ Install 4ext recovery and re-partition the card as per instructions in my sig.

Try running the rom without restoring all your apps and dont restore apps+data.
[Desire Android Development] Zydol:
Exactly, my previous card was SanDisk 8GB class 4 New one SanDisk ultra mobile class 6, but the different red speeds. Before was 8 MB now is 30 MB and is super, one week without any problems. Not like before 4-10 times a day pull battery out.
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
It need to be stressed that a lot of issues with a rom as heavy as sense3.5 AIO are likely down to SD card. We are asking a lot of a very simple chip.

It is after all quite literally being used as an extension of the phones hardware.

Cutting corners, buying cheap, using other than recommended partitions, using swap, not being primary, and just plain old card quality and degredation are often behind problems.

I recently went to a 16GB card and the 1st new one supplied caused me all sorts of problems...... I got it replaced and all worked 1st time.

Basically what I'm saying is, even though the card has always been good, fast, reliable doesnt mean its not possibly the root of a problem. Even new cards can be faulty.
[Desire Android Development] latawa:
Absolutely!

Just switched over from class4to class 6 16GB card and the difference is tremendous.
[Desire Android Development] kotysoft:
Just installing..

THIS INSTALLER IS AWESOME! :) I LOVE IT! :)

BTW Runnymede Roms always the best, but always has little bugs. I'll post later current discoveries
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
@sebastiaan (and all other users of AIO in Dutch language):

Remember the annoying Dutch translation error in the gallery app, where it spelled "Gallerij" instead of "Galerij"? I fixed that for you: pulled and decompiled HTCAlbum.apk, changes Dutch translation xml strings, recompiled and signed, pushed to /sd-ext/app_s/, and finally wiped cache and dalvik to be safe.

So, here's what you should do to fix it:

@sebastiaan: Simply replace the HTCAlbum.apk in future ROM zips. The apk is unchanged apart from the Dutch language fix, so there shouldn't be any problems.

@Dutch language users: Boot in recovery, then use adb push to overwrite HTCAlbum.apk in /sd-ext/app_s/ as follows:

Then, wipe dalvik and cache, and reboot. You'll notice that homescreen shortcuts to the gallery app will still contain the spelling error, but you'll find the corrected shortcut in the app drawer, so just replace the one on your homescreen.

@other users: Don't bother with any of this, unless you're using Dutch language. :p

Glad I could help in my own little noobish way. ;)

ZEDIT: Oops. Better attach that file if I want this post to be of any use. :p
[Desire Android Development] Magpie42:
Bye bye

I should have known that this f***in table was not made of true wood ... :(

Ok, here we go: First freeze was two hours later, while writing SMS. Took two more battery pulls till I finally managed to send the message. After that freezes occured about every 15 minutes, even while just scrolling through the screens.

No way to go, this phone has to work, it's not a toy (ok, admitted, a little bit it is, of course, but not only), firstly it's a tool and I can't cope with that any longer.

Last try was to Nandroid back to AIO 4.0.2, although this was not the most stable one before, either (4.0.1 was the last, really solid one, but I don't have the Nandroid any more), but now even 4.0.2 gave me nothing but freezes.

Thus had to go back to CM7.1, which is not that fast and not that beautiful as RM AIO, but was rock stable all the time.

So, really sorry to say, cause this ROM felt extremely good, but I have to leave. Maybe we'll see each other again later ...

Greets, Magpie

P.S.: Still hoping for suggestions to fix this ... as I REALLY loved this ROM! :o
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
@Magpie: It seems like you reverted to 4.0.x before even trying how snq's kernel worked for you on 5.0.x... So try flashing that, instead of Droidzone's stock kernel. That kernel wasn't as smooth and it gave me a single random reboot at one point, but I never, ever had any stability problems on this ROM with snq-111118.

If you do, however, maybe Prof Peach's suggestion of trying a different SD card could be the solution for you.
[Desire Android Development] darowen:
firstly thanks for help:) yup,it is alpharev cm7/r2 s-off

but I had tried to format my SD Card via Gparted too,

with FAT32 1st and 1024MB EXT4, both as primary...

but still facing FC problem...that's why I'm so frustrated now:mad:

perhaps my SD Card problem? need to buy a new SD Card and test? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] ViktorX:
I had problems with gparted and then i tried this under windows and it formated my card perfectly. Just theres a catch witch partition must be created first (fat32+ext4) and you may need to format fat32 partition again after creating ext4 to make shore it is primary (visable) but the probram will tell you everything while you format...
[Desire Android Development] darowen:
yup,I used to restore via Titanium backup pro with apps+data...

so should I just restore apps(but I lost my data:cool:) OR

just buy a higher class(class 6) SD Card as zumnao and zydol stated...

sadly I use to pull battery out for 4-10times per day also:mad:

is that SD Card problem? afraid go to buy an expensive SD Card but can't fixed well with this fantastic ROM...
[Desire Android Development] tdklaus:
my biggest question: does this tool allow to create aligned partitions, like 4ext does?
[Desire Android Development] Ronok:
I also had freezes with this (and other) ROM(s). But not with the frequency you're having them. For me, it seems to be solved since v.4.0.2 test, touch (real) wood.

Or, what Prof Peach said:

Because the SDcard has become an internal hardware piece with this ROM, this is most likely the bottleneck.
[Desire Android Development] ViktorX:
I think it does, try it, its free...
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
I'd go with the free option first. Try a full wipe and install and use Titanium backup to restore apps only. It can be a pain but how big a pain depends on what data and apps you use.

For me its nothing more than log in details and passwords. A couple of email accounts then 10 mins of setting things up as I like.

I learned very early on in my Hero that titanium backup is almost too good to be true. Good if you are working with the same rom..... but starts to cause problems if you restore data to anything other than the exact same setup.

I use the backup zips from addons..... saves every app and then restores them all when you flash the rom. No data saved but like I said.... I'd rather spend 20 mins setting up each time than struggle on for hours/days trying to figure out why its laggy/freezing/etc/etc.
[Desire Android Development] biroot:
In RCTweaks, there is an option to activate Beat Audio... Unless you do that, you will not have sound in videos

[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
... or to non-system apps. Yes, restoring data can cause - and has caused - trouble if you restore it to another setup, e.g. a new base. But this is of course only the case for system apps and their data. For restoring your personal apps and data, TB is absolutely safe.

So basically, it's best to set up system data like mail accounts and such manually, but you don't ever need to lose your Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja high scores if you flash a new ROM. :p
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
Try with SD card which came along with your Desire.. Generally the stock Desire SD cards have better performance.. I had problem with my new SD card too, then I replaced with samsung calss6 SD which is awesome and works fine.. But i had freeze problems rather than FC like urs...

Try to install "quick system info" app from market and checkout your memory...
[Desire Android Development] nikh667:
Still amazingly impressed with seb's rom's, running V5.0 still. First freezes again this morning, and once again as soon as I get to work.??! Have tried several rom's, sd cards, kernels.

Think poss hardware related or anything to do with the hboot.? I'm on cm7r2, any peeps had experience of curing freezes with different hboot.?
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
Someone reported a while back changing to Bravo Data++ hboot.

Said it had cured freeze problems but never heard of anything else.

An impossible one for a developer to try and fix if it works well on his phone.

Works perfectly here too but I know how annoying it would be if my phone kept freezing.

Perhaps those that are having problems could get together and try a different hboot for a couple of days..... if it works ...great..... if not..... all flash another hboot.

A lot of work but from someone who has this running well, I'd say it was worth the effort.
[Desire Android Development] tebs:
Thank you for the helpful comments. It seemed as if my phone was s-on. I have toggled if off. Is there any advantage in using CM7/r2 compared to Stock HBoot? Could I just stick with stock Hboot and try the things you suggested?
[Desire Android Development] elot01:
I have had the same problem, but after changing Hboot from CM7/R2 to the Data++ version, i have not had any freezes or reboots.

The change is now several weeks ago and before the change i had daily freezes and reboots.

So try the Data++ Hboot from Alpharev. Maybe it helps you too.
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
Ah good.... I knew there was someone who reported the Data++ fix.

I thought for a minute I might have made that up.

Glad you found a fix.:D
[Desire Android Development] mitas35:
i used to have same proplems but when i partition my sd card with gparted insted of 4EXT recovery all my proplems are gone :)

good luck

ps. i also change the kernel whith snq
[Desire Android Development] angusc:
Sanity at last! Thanx ZeGuitarist for bringing it to this thread....Titanium Back up has been getting a hammering of late around here and totally unfairly in my opinion.....you just need to know how to correctly use it, that's all. I never had any problems with this ROM and using TB, i have my paid version of TB set up to do a scheduled back up of all user apps and changes and the same for system programs every night at 02:00 this way i always have a fully updated TB backup to restore.

Then when installing a new version of this ROM i do full wipe, then let it settle for 20 minutes without setting up my google accounts so that there is no chance of any auto updating. I then reboot the phone, install TB and using batch mode from the menu of TB i select "Restore missing apps with data". Select all my 90+ apps and let it run. Then i sign in to my google accounts and let the auto updates sort out the few settings that it manages.

I also then use TB to manually restore DATA ONLY for the few green items such as clocks (restores the alarm settings), wifi settings does the wep keys, 2 x personal dictionaries takes care of all my spelling and dictionaries.

I also check the new roms version of Desktop and if the version number matches my last backup then i restore DATA ONLY which restores all my home screens and icon shortcuts. If version is different then i only do this by a manual configuration of each home screen........

Sent with Desire.
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
darowen, you didn't get the whole message I pointed out that it could be an SD issue and suggested sd change but I also suggested to change for stock hboot.

I myself have a low class sd and consciously choose to stick on stock hboot never facing reboots or fc's, have plenty of space for app, 75 apps installed and still 89 mb free espace
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
@angusc: Almost exactly what I do. I also export my contacts and SMS before flashing a new ROM, not in TB but using their respective apps.

Also, you're right about the "restore desktop" thing with TB - that is what has been causing problems for me, when I didn't know better. Restoring desktop data on a new base made lockscreen icons disappear - I had to reflash the ROM twice before I figured that out.

But really, TB is an extremely powerful and helpful tool, and it deserves a lot more credit than it's been getting lately. I would recommend the paid version to any user who wants to comfortably restore apps and data after flashing a ROM.
[Desire Android Development] Prof Peach:
Has Titanium Backup been getting a bad press recently.....?

A few warnings (quite rightly) that you cant just restore apps + data every time you flash a new rom. Not bad press..... just good advice.
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
That's good advice, yes, and I've never seen actual "bad press" from you. But all around the forum, I've seen a number of posts suggesting people plainly not to use TB, because it can - and if you believe their word, it will - mess up your setup. Which of course is nonsense.
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
I agree. I would use the zips to backup and reside apps, then TB to restore app data.
[Desire Android Development] legga häschen:
I have a problem with my Keyboard and the Vibration. In settings i have disable vibrations, but when i use the keyboard it still vibrate for the first time (10-20sec).

Why?
[Desire Android Development] darowen:
if stick on stock hboot, mean the rom installtion is using APP2SD instead of AD2SDX?

doesn't know restore apps+data might causing problem, now trying with your suggestion,hope it is working:p

by the way my phone not just facing FC problem, somehow freeze quite often...

don't know where the stock desire SD card gone,:rolleyes:

perhaps have to try with a upgraded sd card...

Sorry for my Bad englich. Wenn i using googel Navi, or Navigate, my Phone reboot.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Runnymede mit Tapatalk
[Desire Android Development] ZeGuitarist:
Get rid of swap partition, it isn't supported. Partition your SD card with 4EXT Recovery as follows: 1GB ext4 (max 1.5GB), the rest fat32.

Also, double check which HBOOT you have (stock or cm7(r2)) and make sure the Aroma installer registers it right. Also note that ad2sdx doesn't currently work with stock HBOOT (unless that bug is fixed now, so someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Hope that helps.

[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
I have always restored app+data with TB and never had any problems with apps. Only time I dont do it is if its a different Sense build or a AOSP RoM. If its staying with same build it should be ok. Like going from one sense 3.5 to another sense 3.5 restore should be fine, if going from sense 3.5 to say ICS or sense 2.1 I would just restore apps not data.
