Not read yet (I mean I read posts and didn't find anything amongst... well, you know), had a quite annoying thing today : I couldn't be heard during calls !!

After one of the reboots I had since, it seems to be back...

Not sure to understand if it's the case for everyone, but Google nav can't run more than a minute before a reboot (updated position on maps by "big steps" before crash). Gps status gives me a precise position with 5 or 6 satellites...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hey everyone, mods available...

http://www.mattman.org/index.php/downloads

Any request, please let me know and I will try to do them!!

Thanks, Matt :D
[Desire Android Development] szubert51:
Thank you very very much :)

I appreciate your work.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
There might be a new release today (if we get it done), just a couple of fixes, not very noticeable. BUT it'll give you users a lot of choices so you can get a more customized ROM.

The "fixes" are

Minor change in build.prop

Did some changes in dhcpd, not important ones

Fixed so you can search for provider

Added aGPS fix, for those having problems with GPS

The big news about this release is probabaly the Aroma installer.

It's a touched based installer that gives you possibility to choose a lot more of options. This is just a trial, and if there is to many requests and complaints then I'll just remove the whole thing. It's to make stuff easier for ppl and hopefully stop some of the "stupid" questions. If you want to make requests, make a thread in general forum and I*ll take a look once in a while.

What this new installer can do:

*Fits both cm7r2 and stock hboot (will add data++ later), it finds out this automatically

*You can choose which launcher you want to use (stock, nova, apex and trebuchet)

*You can choose which a2sd script you want to install (stock, amarullz, regular a2sd, dalvik2sd)

*Choose if you want to have softbuttons.

These are the options so far, but if this works okey, then we'll add more things later on.

And there is ofcourse a typical installation for those not interested in other things then to test the ROM:=)
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Sounds good sandvold will defo try it out, bit sceptical about aroma installer but hey sound good and ive only heard good things about it!
[Desire Android Development] No_u:
Is there any chance that the ROM might get bluetooth tethering support? I use this daily and it's the only thing holding me back from using this ROM daily.
[Desire Android Development] Superchasin:
Sounds great! I love that we can choose HBOOT now! :D

Any news about the 16/32-bit issue and camera glitch? The only thing that's holding me back right now...

I love all your work guys, I know within a month there will be a release that is even better than the full-functional GB releases right now! Then there will be more builds like CM & Oxygen, based on the work you all did together! Isn't that great? I believe our Desire will never die! You guys ROCK!
[Desire Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
Forget about that part.

Thought it was better on 0.3.x, but nope (nav is ko when gps status is fine :confused:)

So that must definitly be that agps fix thing to try.

And yep I had better posts, but anyway you'll get through the crowd of fresh noobs and lazy olders to bring out the perfect rom :cool:
[Desire Android Development] s37h:
Does anyone know if there is the possibilty to make the stock message app not convert sms to mms when the size is bigger than 3 sms?

P.S: I realize that this is not related to the ROM itself, but i think that someone might be able to answer me as this is a ICS rom thread.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Not sure actually, but I've read something about this sometime ago, not sure if it was related to this ROM at all, but there is probabaly someone that got hte answer
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Hey I also was looking for a fix for this. I did quite alot of searching and no its not possible, the only way to fix it is to use a 3rd party text app like handcent. WHich is bollocks cause I love the stock mms. Maybe eventually someone will modify it or release something exactly like it but with more options.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Just fyi sandvold, drewis is talking about a new n1 release in the next day or so, might want to have a chat with him before you push out the aroma releases ;-)

M.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
won't make a difference easy to mix together afterwards:)
[Desire Android Development] XR33:
Just wanted to say thanks Sandvold. Only the second Rom on my phone and it's been great so far. Had an isue with a crash and then wouldn't recover, but not 100% sure if that wasn't me :rolleyes: . Keep up the good work ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
No worries, was just thinking it might not be worth 2 releases in a couple of days, but I imagine you have a better idea of drewis' timeline than i do ;)

M.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Got into some troubles, stupid cm7r2 hboot:P Will try to sort it out later today. So no release is really imminent.
[Desire Android Development] Minc:
Take your time... implementing aroma seems to be worth the wait for us for sure even though this thread is the last thing I read in the evening and the first thing I fire up in the morning. :)
[Desire Android Development] m_primdahl:
Confirmed bug.

I'm having the same problem.

It only happens when writing a mails or SMS. Or in Google+.

It doesn't happen when I write in the browser, google seach widget or in the market search.

In y experience it's not just writing Li or lø, but whenever I start a word with the letter L I can write one more letter, and then the keyboard disappear....

I've been using this rom since version 0.2.x and this is the first time I experience this problem. :(
[Desire Android Development] preston74:
what kind of trouble? i have some experience with cm7r2 ics rom. maybe i could help.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Just a space issue. Had it working with putting launchers into data/app ,but then you can't add widgets. Trying to move contacts + libvideochat_ini (google talk) to data as well + symlinking it to system.

Hopefully that will be enough

You can have a look, but it's a quite differnet updater script.

http://ge.tt/90ErDbD

*edit that file is not very usable unless you really know how to edit ROM's so no point in downloading for regular users
[Desire Android Development] wviegas:
the Hardware hack is the hardware acceleration? sorry the noob question
[Desire Android Development] preston74:
yeah, i know what you mean. i tried use only data partition before. but it gives me too many issues.

its hard to make cm7r2 full rom without sd-ext partition. for my quattro port i left system apps inside internal memory, and secondary apps, fonts and media folder moved to the ext partition.

i used script which is written in the updater-script to run symlinking as what is written in a file called MS that is put in the root of the ROM zip.

eg:

ui_print("Symlinking SD-Ext-Apps ...");

package_extract_file("MS", "/tmp/MS");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/MS");

run_program("/tmp/MS");

And the actual symlink is in MS file:

#!/system/bin/bash

BUSYBOX="/system/xbin/busybox"

cd /sd-ext/app_s

filelist2=`$BUSYBOX find . -type f`

for i in $filelist2

do

if [ ! -e /system/app/$i ];

then

$BUSYBOX ln -s /sd-ext/app_s/$i /system/app/$i

fi

done

with this you don't have to worry about writing symlink line for each apk.

here is my port, if you want check it: http://tbp.dyndns.org/~preston74/Desire/VirtuousQuattro.RC4Test.CM7r2.A2SD-12.02.2012.zip
[Desire Android Development] Pitzbull:
Great to see guys working together so freely to get this happening. BTW preston74 is there a english description of your rom anywhere?
[Desire Android Development] vaflen:
Unfortunately I am seeing the same thing (using the Danish keyboard).

However, the issue is not restricted to words starting with same variation of L. I've had this happen on other words as well. Changing the keyboard to US or UK eliminates the problem. I'm pretty sure it's the "suggestions engine" that somehow seg faults or otherwise crashes.

I have seen this issue on both 0.3.10 and 0.4.0RC1 which are the only two versions of the ROM I have tried.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's easy if we use sd_ext:) But want to try get it work without, think we got it now anyway, but thx for the help
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It is possible!

I have the answer!!

Stay with the stock mms.apk!!!

I have just done a bit of reading, and this is possible! I cannot stand the split to mms after three texts... I just edited the mms.apk to not split untill 100 (16000 characters) sms message have been written out!

Get it from my downloads page
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Thx I'll add this to aroma installer as well
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Does Xdata work with BETA 0.4.0RC1? is anyone using it.
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
It certainly does work! I'm using it right now :D
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Thank you very much for your reply:)

Hello?
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
hwa hack was in use for anything pre 0.4.x - this made hwa work in a similar way to gingerbread did.

hwa full is in use for 0.4.x (but is not working 100% yet - more like 90%)
[Desire Android Development] Zommy:
just installed it, so far it's working well on the alpharev hboot :)

surprised how much stuff is allready working stable and fast.

downloaded it from the sponsored link to support this great project, gonna keep this one up to date.

big thanks to the team for reviving the desire :)
[Desire Android Development] wviegas:
In 0.3.9 camera is working?
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
really? +1 question about camera? but yes, it does work.
[Desire Android Development] madkai:
Yes
[Desire Android Development] wviegas:
And 3.10?

I am thinking instaling 3.10...
[Desire Android Development] Tomshi:
Awesome Work Sandvold, I don't think there's anything I could type that accurately describes how much of a service you're doing for all our Desire's ;]

One wee tiny problem for me though that I think you may be able to answer, Are you or anyone else having problems changing the Density of the LCD screen ? My phone doesn't even register the change, Reboot and its back at 240 :( .. Hopefully you or any other Awesome XDA member can answer this. Cheers !
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
How are you changing it? I have changed it via the build.prop but it creates market problems with the message "your device is incompatible with this app" displaying on a lot of apps...
[Desire Android Development] Tomshi:
I've only messed about with the build.prop once mate, It gets named incorrectly with .bat at the end of the file, The file disapears & I need to reboot. I've also tried numerous LCD density apps from the market... How do you think I should go about this bud ?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I know they sorted this by modding vendor.apk in the hd2 forum
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
some guys reported back in the thread that it works too but not as well as in 3.9..

but seriously: just make a nandroid backup and try it yourself!
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
There is a RC3 version out but no changelog in OP. Anyone know whats new here?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
If so do u have a post I can look at? This would enable larger soft keys, without over lapping the keyboard?

I have tried a market hack, but it didn't work out for me Cos the market kept updating.. plus the market hack I done need the data to be cleared after every reboot...
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:
Symlinking fixed on cm7r2 :) So now media fits there too.

Andrei.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I usually change the density in build.prop on the phone with root explorer... or change it with notepad++ and make a flashable.zip to overwrite the old build.prop... that is what I have done in the past...
[Desire Android Development] Sleehond:
Curious to test RC3 :D But all of the links are down, at this moment altough....

Happy it will work on CM7r2 Hboot version as well now. Well check out soon if the links are available again...
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
So is it RC2 or RC3? Changelog says RC2, topic RC3 and download RC3 :confused:

Anyway I'm gonna try it, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] draegn:
Hrmm where can i see the difference between these launchers stock, nova, apex and trebuchet?
[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
Hi.

LCD Density Modder Pro solved all those problems for me using 0.3.8. Dunno about the new 0.4.x versions yet.

I've found that I could only go up to a 187 density or the phone app will keep fcing.

Sent from HTC Desire /w Sandvold ICS 0.3.x Bravo Stock Hboot
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
Latest one is RC3. It's on the way to the server.

And I'm pretty sure that Sandvold edit changelog later on.
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Can someone post a mirror please?

The sponsored mirror says that it has been exhausted.

Thanks in adavnce
[Desire Android Development] Anon87:
Dling from high-speed mirror now...

Sent from HTC Desire /w Sandvold ICS 0.3.x Bravo Stock Hboot
[Desire Android Development] KuliX:
just be patient...
[Desire Android Development] kazgor:
I was going to ask the same thing :)... yeah i could go looking in the main Dev folder.. but curious to know can we switch launchers after installations, or do you have to reflash the ROM to pick the another... that would flashing 5times just to pick one you liked.

also which of these is better to install if i have a 1GB Ext4 partition.

Choose a2sd scripts (stock, amarullz, regular a2sd, dalvik2sd)

thanks..
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
fix for low usb transfer speed

@OP

to fix the low usb transfer speed, simply change in the source code, in the file /android_system_vold/VolumeManager.cpp

this line:

from:

// set dirty ratio to 0 when UMS is active
mUmsDirtyRatio = 0;

to

mUmsDirtyRatio = [B]20[/B];

that was fixed with success (thanks to my discover :)) also in CM7

i'm sure that mUmsDirtyRatio = 0 is also in the ICS AOSP source...changing that to 20 (the default value for our desire) should do the trick

EDIT: seems already fixed in the source, seems not working with ics then
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
The changlog was wrong earlier it was suppose to say RC3.

We never released rc2 as that ended up beeing a test ROM which was published to a certain degree. High speed mirrr is up
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Thx alot, really appricated
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Yea, I've been told about this many times, but can't ask everyone to download that app... it is a hack in market.apk which will make the market think it is 240dpi instead of the changed (maybe 230 with my hack) dpi in build.prop... I couldn't get it working properly though, and market kept updating itself... if I used the latest market that the phone updated to, the phone would just believe it wasn't installed and there wasn't a market app at all... :(
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Wow I have to say that the aroma installer is very very nice, especially loving the modded mms.apk. Just one thing could you include this a2sd script. Was using this script with the last build. Just a request but if not dont worry about I'm happy to flash myself.

Great work. Loving the builds more and more each time.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's somewhere in the HD2 Nand thread, ROM made by miche i think. Don't have time to search for it now
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Never been in this ROM, and was I was looking at this mod when I added the others, but think it needs to be rewritten before I can use it. (isn't it based on choices while you install?)
[Desire Android Development] Little_Tiger:
Google and YouTube is your best friend...

all launcher are previewed there...and so does the rest
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
No its not based on choices while you install, it works very similar to the standard a2sd using terminal. I just found it it slightly easier to use than the standard a2sd mainly cause im a noob as its slightly more self explanatory, in terminal you type m2sd help and what each command does is outlined next to it. useful for first time users. Also has the option of moving data, dlcache and cache to sd.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
oh, then I think I can add it to the next release, (it's a bit more complex then the others so might cause some issues). If it's not there it's because I ran into some problems:)
[Desire Android Development] thesavagedonkey:
Perfect thanks its just another option to be had, Personally I really like the script but maybe just add a disclaimer saying not tested or something of the sort.

Most of all tho I am really grateful of the mms.apk mod.
[Desire Android Development] Mokshu:
Great great work, allowing so many possibilities (especially the stock/cm7r2 choice) will enhance the number of users to get feedback :)

Can't wait to flash it (probably tomorrow).
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Sandvolt, what do you think about adding the quoted post by andQlimax in your OP?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
let's see first if it works also in ics :D
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
+ it's edited in source:P
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
you mean it's already set to 20 or there are other changes?

oh..i found it...it's already configurated in the build.pro

ro.vold.umsdirtyratio=20

that's come direclty from cm :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
no we need to do that, so no point in adding it to first post, will get drewis to add it when he releases his next build
[Desire Android Development] Sleehond:
Installation complete. Rebooting now :D
[Desire Android Development] ellite:
Default installation of the new rom RC3 works OK!

When i change something on the installation:

my case - Apex, Amarulz, Soft Buttons On

2nd case - Apex, (The last Choice Script), Soft Buttons On

In any of this cases, the rom didn't boot. Stuck on the boot animation.

Just to let you know.

Btw, thanks for the Aroma. Is beautiful :)
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
RC3 works very smooth and fast 4 me thx Sandvold and all other Devs.

And the new installer ist Top!
[Desire Android Development] TomLeeDesire:
Just to let you know the good effect of the patch on me :

'stock' a2sd in the installer is that the in built one? does it move dalvik too? I haven't got it downloaded yet so just wanted to check - thanks!
[Desire Android Development] sroy001:
Any user reviews of rc3? RC 1 vs rc3
[Desire Android Development] Undermyoath:
Sandvold.

First of all, thanks for this rom.

Second,

I'm now gonna test the amarullz scripted cm7/r2 version.

I will report you if it boots and bugs when there will occur, and i will use the same sequence of installing as said in the runnymede topic.

You really did a great job!
[Desire Android Development] harm007:
Hello.

In the first post, I read "made for stock hboot" and in the title, there is "ALL HBOOTS"...

I have CM7r2 hboot : can I use this ROM with CM7r2 hboot?

Thanks for all.

Regards.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Yes it's the one we've had all the time:)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I got a report that mms.apk (sms app) is missing. Can anyone confirm this?
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
No MMS works fine here no errors or missing
[Desire Android Development] Undermyoath:
Quoting from the OP:

'The big changes is that we included a touch based installer which gives you possibility to customize the ROM. Don't request things to be added in this forum. If you want make a post in desire general and I'll drop by from time to time. If there is a lot of nagging I'll just remove the whole thing.

What you can do:

It automatically finds your hboot and sorts the ROM accordingly.

Choose launcher (stock, nova, apex and trebuchet)

Choose a2sd scripts (stock, amarullz, regular a2sd, dalvik2sd)

Choose if you want softkeys

Choose if you want mms.apk that doesn't convert more then 3 sms to mms.

There is of course a typical installation, that keeps everything as the stock ROM is.'

So the answer is yes.

First read, then ask the question ;D

I'm gonna test it right now.
[Desire Android Development] mctrex:
i agree .. same thing here
[Desire Android Development] thor9934:
Well that's just ironic, i sold my beloved Desire 2 days ago and this comes up, i hope the devs over at the HD2 forums will port this for the HD2 :)
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
yes the mms.apk is removed, if the modded version is chosen
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
K i'll edit that, we're also working on a data++ sepesifc hboot
[Desire Android Development] Wekkel:
From RC1 to RC3 (stock options).

Waze is working now, no FC's. Apparently, GPS fix fixed it ;)

For the rest the same things (camera preview problem, no video recording, glitches, etc).

But small steps forward :)
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
