Car mode

V18 has really reduced the lags that I was getting. But now every time I plug in my car charge car mode starts up and stops copilot from working. I cant seem to find the settings for it to be turned off permanently. I am running stock hboot and v18 installed with a full wipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
I'm thinking of using this instead of my current ROM. What, if anything, do i need to do for a fresh install of this.

Current config is:

insertcoin 1.1.2 A2SD

gingercakes 0.8f

Think i have stock HBoot - though don't know how to check.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@scrads

You can check what hboot that you have by reboot to bootloader and see what is written on top highlighted in pink. If it says alpharev CM7 r2 then you have CM7 r2

Anyway it doesn't matter what hboot that you have now as long as it is a stock hboot, a CM7 hboot or a CM7r2 hboot, this is one ROM that will work on these three hboots.

Most important is you have partitioned your sdcard FAT32 + 1gb EXT4.

Make a full wipe in recovery then flash the ROM. Once complete, then reboot. It will auto-reboot twice and continue until you reach the setup screen then just proceed setting it up as usual.
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
@ckpv5 Thanks.

IIRC i did setup a 1gb EXT4 partition orginally so I should be good to go.

When you say full wipe, does that include SD card as well or just phone?
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@scrads

Except sdcard.... phone full wipe (data/system/cache/dalvik-cache/sd-ext).

Some people said no need to wipe system & sd-ext as the updater-script will do that but that is what I always do to ensure clean install.
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
Installed Runnymede and the phone is really really slow.

Any suggestions?

update: It seems to be bottlenecking - Running things like media player or updating/downloading from market place can make it freeze.

I like what I see so hope to get it running very smooth
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
Managed to speed up the phone.

Removed CRT feature and installed supersmooth Rosie.

Also changed kernel back to 0.8f.

Issues

Just had a freeze whilst on standby with 3G enabled.

Market stopped working after downloading some apps. Now cannot download just get: Error -101 - tried installing different market app. Can push downloads via market website.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@scrads

Try this Droidzone's kernel here, it may helps the freeze problem.

Market issue - try to clear market cache and data, remove your google a/c, reboot the phone and re-add google a/c and open the market again. Hope this will work for you.

Since you're on stock hboot, how much free data space that you have after setting up your phone ?
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
I don't see the Google account in Accounts and Sync. Is it store elsewhere in this ROM?

Also now that i think about it, my HBoot was changed to Revolution(ary?). Its showing around 70mb free after a few app installs which isn't great tbh - prob 140mb in total but used to be more than that.

Start from scratch reinstall? which HBoot would be best? I'll try the new kernel first though.
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
I would suggest you start from scratch..

The recommended hboot is CM7R2.

You can find a flashable version HERE

The above can only be flash with CWM 2.5.0.7 or RMD recovery or Amon Ra Recovery.

Or if you are comfortable with adb

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

You can download the hboots @ www.alpharev.nl

That should solve the low space issue.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
It is always best to have a CM7r2 hboot when using a custom ROM like this one.

When you first boot the phone after flashing, do you have google ac sign in screen first before setup screen ? If yes, don't sign in first, press back button and do the setup until your homescreen. Let it settle down for say 10 mins then reboot. Then only go to account & sync to sign in google ac.

If you're going to start from scratch again, maybe you can try to replace the AccountSyncManager.apk in sdext/apps (open the ROM.zip with 7-zip and drop this file to replace the old one)... hopefully this will help the missing google account in account & sync. (It happens to me too).
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Just press next then use back button.. you can skip that one.

The google account sign-in runs because of Maps which is run at start-up.

If you take out Maps.apk from the ROM.zip and install the ROM without it, you will not have this google account pop-up when you boot for the first time.

Uploaded new version v19 :cool:

ChangeLog:

- changed some RAM tweaks entries

- changed some smmothness tweaks in framework.jar

- changed back NET tweaks entries
[Desire Android Development] AuxLV:
That did not help (attached file), any other suggestions? I was able to add one Google account upon opening Market, but I need two more. That drives me nuts...

Clean install, had absolutely stock ROM before.
[Desire Android Development] rjvrijn:
V19 lost configuration after install. Just did a dalvik and cache wipe as i did with v18
[Desire Android Development] cristiano7mu:
still on V16,

since then unable to install V18 and V19. done full wipe and everything but stuck at bootscreen for 15 mins for the first time then it reboot and stuck there for 20 mins. Finally gave up and go back to V16.

anyone has the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
May I ask if you dont mind...in the requirements, what does "Dalvik-Cache moved on the first boot on the SD-Ext" mean? How Im supposed to do that?

Thanks..
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
After flashing the ROM will restart 3 times, meanwhile dalvik is moved to sd-ext. You don't have to do anything.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
And as it says in the installation guide here

07. optional no DALVIK-CACHE on SD-EXT (only CM7 users): make a file names "dalvikoff" (blank file) and put it in the folder "insextras" on your SDCARD (means to have dalvik-cache on nand)
[Desire Android Development] Geegeeoh:
So I tried a bit this rom, very nice but... it's just me or installing any app is a major headache?

It freezes, launcher often crashes...

I got a 16GB SD with 5.5MB/s write and 20MB/s reading. Is it too slow or something?
[Desire Android Development] kazgor:
yeah and i have had to give up this version of the ROM for now.. im using Sebs AIO rom and it flys.. no lag when install/remove apps.

Even pluggin into the USB would takes ages... really like all the Mod007 roms so far.
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:

ReUpLoaded ROM v20 coming in one hour and it is then online :cool:

ChangeLog:

- changed some build.prop entries

- changed some system files

- changed some RAM tweaks
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
Thank you very much. I didnt know it has to restart 3 times? Anyway, I tried flashing again this ROM...but I think it only rebooted once....after that, I waited.....but it didnt restart for 2nd and 3rd time. Is that normal?
[Desire Android Development] Coempi:
Until it works, no problems. And also it is possible your phone rebooted 3 times, probably you missed it. Just my opinion.
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
Ok I need help here :( After I installed this ROM, it gives me low internal memory and even if I clear all temp data and uninstalled already all apps, its still in low memory. I decided to reformat again my SD card (I was on EXT4, 1Gb) start from zero and reflash ROMs. So what I did is I went to Settings>Storage....and Erase Phone Storage. I also did Factory Data Reset.

I checked my SD card but I wonder why all files and folders are still there.

Then I reflash again this ROM but after it rebooted, I noticed my lockscreen is not there anymore, just the wallpaper nothing else.

I can unlock it by pressing the trackpad....then I noticed in my Homescreen that some images are not visible like the widgets...only visible are the letters/wordings.

I tried to Personlize, add Widget but I noticed that there are only 9 widgets....other widgets like the Clock, Calendar, Friendstream, Weather are not there.

As for the SD card, I can still access it thru ES File Explorer, and by choosing connect to PC type as Disk Drive. So I assume this is not USB brick?

Btw, when I tried to restore thru Recovery, I read the ff:

E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)

.

.

.

Restoring sd-ext...

No app2sd partition found. Skiping format of /sd-ext.

E: Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(File exists)

Cant mount /sd-ext!

What have I done? Please advice me what to do to bring back my Desire normal again? If this is not related to flashing of this ROM, please point me to where I can ask help about this.

Thank you very much...

EDIT: I rebooted to Recovery and did a restore.....it successfuly restored, rebooted my phone....but still the problem is still there.....no Lockscreen, just a blank wallpaper, and my Homescreen is also missing some widgets and images :(
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
couple of bugs in v19;

CRT screen off doesnt work - still there and slows phone down.

Not all contact pictures seem to be applied from social media.

Text messages doesnt always link to contact name correctly - just shows number. Can tap on number and see contact card/details correctly.

Apart from that its a very good ROM - just need app install speeding up.
[Desire Android Development] oddjobmonkey:
i found that same issue it was because some numbers were saved as +44.... and on the contacts were saved without the +44. If you change the mob number it works fine!
[Desire Android Development] Olgmo1:
I came for AceSMod007 to this v20 a couple of days ago and I cannot get the dialog box for USB connection to pop up even though it is set to do so. I am not able to get the diskdrive to work at all now. I read that some had problem with this before, but did not firn a solution.

Any advice?
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Since you come from AcesMod007 to this RunnymedeMod007, did you do full wipe before you flash this ROM ?

Just freshly installed, the USB connection works.
[Desire Android Development] rjvrijn:
Did you install another kernel?

Else try from the android sdk: fastboot oem eraseconfig

Dont let the name of this last command scare you of. You lose no settings at all, but you may get usb popup back.
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
you got a USB Brick.....dont worry theres a solution for that....do a search for USB Brick
[Desire Android Development] cristiano7mu:
Guys how long you take to install V20?

I came from V16, I have stuck at the first HTC white screen for 30 mins.

I have done full wipe, and clear everything.

Why does it takes so long/?

*could it my phone is connecting to PC?
[Desire Android Development] rjvrijn:
V20 running for 1 day now. Its stable and responsive.

As with V19 on first activation it asked to create a new google account and select a language. After skipping this everything is fine.
[Desire Android Development] cristiano7mu:
so anybody can answer?
[Desire Android Development] rjvrijn:
Had this once. Dont know what version. A reinstall will usaly help.
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Usually a reflash without any wipes can help.

[Desire Android Development] cristiano7mu:

[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
Please help. Lately I always get Low Internal Storage warning even though I have only installed about 6 apps. This happens with RunnymedeMod or AcesMod or BlissMod and even with Runnymede AIO roms. I do made full wipes always before I flash new roms even though they are of the same base.

I have just reformatted and repartitioned my SD card with 1Gb ext4 partition. Then I flashed this RunnymedeMod and also tried BlissMod rom. But after I installed about 6 apps from the Market, I always get a Low Internal Memory warning.

You think my apps and dalvik-caches are not moved to SD card? Did I miss something? How do I check if they are indeed moved in first boot?

Please advice on what to do?
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@dinoalbert

Download Quick System Info from Market and post the Basic Info screenshot here... maybe it helps to understand your problem.
[Desire Android Development] scrads:
Anyone know a fix for video recording in portrait mode - it distorts the video. It is fine if you put the phone on its side. Also hd recording is slow and jerky, missing frames.
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
@ckpv5 - thank you for your advice.

heres a couple of screenshots of my Desire:

FYI, last night I again have just made a full wipe even did it twice, before I again flashed this RunnymedeMod rom. After first boot, I skipped those initial setup (google signin, etc), and just left the phone untouched overnight with WiFi on. This morning when I woke up, I rebooted the phone, then did the setup process, installed Facebook and sync FB and Google contacts and calendar only. As you adviced, I also installed Quick System Info from the Market.

Then after some time there goes again the Low Internal Storage warning (see the icon on the notification bar). Take note I only installed 2 apps: Facebook and Quick System Info only, and nothing else. I tried to install Screenshot app from the market to get the screeny you asked but it gave me an error saying it cannot be installed as there is No Available Space, I need to make available space first. That is why my screenshot above is taken by my DSLR cam.

My Desire is S-OFF, with 4EXT Recovery and SD card formatted with 1Gb EXT4. What do you think is wrong with my phone? :(
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@dinoalbert

What I can see above is you're on stock hboot and the dalvik-cache is on internal memory (nand).

When you first install the ROM, did you put "dalvikoff" file in your sdcard ? If you did not then it seems a2sd not moving the dalvik-cache to sd-ext.

Do you have android sdk installed in your pc ? If yes, connect your phone to ADB and type as below

adb remount

adb shell

a2sd cachesd

It should move the dalvik-cache to sd-ext.

Or.. uninstall Quick System Info & Facebook, download A2SDGUI from market. You can use it to move the dalvik-cache to sd-ext. Once done, you can reinstall facebook.
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
Oh okay thanks for the help very much appreciated. A few questions if you dont mind:

1. So you mean I can move dalvik-cache either by adb...or by the A2SDGUI app?

2. And do I still need to create "dalvikoff" file in my sdcard and start over flashing the ROM? or I can skip doing this if I use adb or A2SGUI app?

3. Are you referring to the procedure which says:

07. optional no DALVIK-CACHE on SD-EXT (only CM7 users): make a file names "dalvikoff" (blank file) and put it in the folder "insextras" on your SDCARD

I thought that is only for CM7 users only?

4. I thought after flashing this rom, it will itself automatically move my dalvik-cache to SD without me doing anything? So you mean everytime I flash roms by michaelm_007...I have to move dalvik to sd manually as you adviced above?

Thanks thanks..
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@dinoalbert

No..you don't need "dalvikoff"... try the first two options ADB or A2SDGUI to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext. "dalvikoff" is for dalvik-cache on internal memory.

@ckpv5:

Hi! I'd like to ask you if the latest v20 of this ROM is good enough (worth it?) to let me port it to my Nexus One :)

I mean... How many bugs did you encounter during your tests?

Thanks in advance! ;)
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@Iperzampem0

Sorry to say that I'm unable to comment about V20. I just briefly tested V16, 17 & 19. What I can say is Runnymede RUU 1.27.1400.4 WWE is a good base to port to and I really enjoy it. Whatever bugs it may have they are fixable.
[Desire Android Development] sparkyuiop:
I already rooted and installed CM Recovery with that CynogenMOD (or however it's spelt) on my Desire but wanted to install this as that Cynowotsit is buggy and plain boring!

Anyway I forgot my lock code so couldn't install the partition APK you say to do. Instead I just formatted the user data, dalvic, batt stats etc. and applied the update.zip and it seems to have worked so far. The installer reported it as being successfull and it's rebooted to an andriod moterbike race playing over and over. I assume it's setting up still, I hope!

Is this OK or will I get any issues do you think?
[Desire Android Development] sparkyuiop:
Did not work, installed another Rom and the 4EXTRecovery APK and it just reboots into CW. I booted the linux software ISO and tried that but it gets to stage 3 and never finishes it. Anyone know how to add these SD partitions an easier way, i.e. with Windows!
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
hi ckpv,

I already installed A2SDGUI....and moved dalvik cache to SD-EXT.

Can you please tell me which info in Quick System Info should I look to check if dalvik is indeed moved to SD-EXT? Or any other indications to tell if dalvik is indeed moved?

thanks again...
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
@dinoalbert

On Quick System Info, you should see :

A2SD Storage : Decrease of free space e.g. Free: 709mb now show 640mb

Internal Storage : Increase of free space e.g. Free : 8.00kb now show 60mb

Or you download any file explorer with root access such as Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and you can see a dalvik-cache folder in sd-ext folder.
[Desire Android Development] dinoalbert:
thanks again sir!

After I installed only 3 apps: FB, Quick System Info, A2SDGUI......heres what it shows now:

A2SD Storage : Free space = 711MB (an increase from 709mb?)

Internal Storage: Free space = 84MB (ok...an increase from 8Kb)

I checked ES Explorer...where can I see SD-Ext folder? I dont see any....I can only see 4Ext folder (/sdcard/4ext/)...is this the same one?

However I checkd inside 4Ext folder, there is no dalvik-cache folder.
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
"Internal Storage: Free space = 84MB (ok...an increase from 8Kb)" - means your dalvik-cache now on sd-ext.

Open ES File Explorer, press menu - settings - scroll down - tick Root Explorer. A dialog will pop-up - click yes - then superuser dialog click allow. Tap on Favorites - click on the phone icon - scroll down - you should see sd-ext.

Anything further that you want to know but not related to ROM, just PM me so we don't spam this thread with general Q&A.

Flashed with full wipe twice. The only bug for me is the weather animation after unlocking is not working, same as V16, V17 but was working on V19... but it is not a big thing.

The other thing is I have this one contact number that comes together with the ROM which I never notice before. (i do not sign-in to google ac yet, so no restoring from google).

Dunno about the differences but I do know that desire shutting down at 20% battery left is not a rom issue. Try flashing other kernels and calibrating your battery.

Rereading this thread my eye felt on sd booster and what to comment out in 03sdspeed to make it work. I desided to do a different approach and changed values 2048 to 1024 in 03sdspeed instead.

Although its just 12 hours, this settings seemed to solve annoying issues that I'd experience for the last few months. Such as:

- mayor lag with www.telegraaf.nl; Most of the time ending with the dialog not responding... Close? Was only workable if canceled halfway, just after text was showing.

- pick up telefooncalls did not work.

Connection was always broken after accepting the call in lockscreen.

The Rom now looks more responsive in overall.

I also saw/read the 128kb cache is default (at least for sdbooster). So I guess 2048kb is too much for my device.

Further: dalvik on internal mem and an 8 gb sd card class 6. 1gb ext4 part. And snq's latest kernel. Cm7r2 hboot.

Maybe this will help someone that experience the same problems.

Edit: went back to the basic setting of 128 kb. By far the most responsive read ahead setting.

(Although it was far more better as with 2048, with 1024 I still had a few pages on www.telegraaf.nl that became non responsive on full load. No problem for those pages with the new setting). Even playback of video not optimized for mobile phones will start playing immediately (not audio first and after almost finished 1 or 2 frames video).
