Hi! If someone could help me understand a little better how different types of a2sd works with this rom I would be grateful. Until now I have used stock a2sd and xdata to get enough room for my apps (just running a2sd install was not enough). But now I wiped installed 0.7 and amarullz. So now it seems as if i got an big inernal storage which equals my ext4 partition of 1,4 gb. This seems to be used when I install apps from Play. But Is all well with that? Is the ordinary internal (not ext4) used also when I install apps? Where´s my dalvik cache now? Will I run out of space eventually if I keep installing apps even though my ext4 (now called internal) is used? Is the old internal also used for app data now?

A lot of questions, I know. But I had a hard time finding coherent info about this while I was searching this thread. Fully understand and respect if this messy question is ignored.

Beta 0.7

Stock hboot

Stock kernel

amarullz a2sd

class 6 samsung sd

agps patch
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Off topic I know. But did anyone report that shaky has done the port of sense 4? Amazing work.
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
amarullz script pretty much mounts your /sd-ext as the /data partition. on this partition, 3rd party .apk files, and data from 3rd party and stock apps are stored. it still uses internal storage, and keeps dalvik and stock .apk files on this partition.

this is different to xdata, which stores EVERYTHING on /sd-ext
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
I remember sandvold said he will try to maintain both sense and aosp ics....
[Desire Android Development] quark1980:
if sense runs good on my old-trusty desire, i actually would like to use sense... :P

im quite exited, this beta is getting more and more polished, and with the news on the 4.0 port of sense... things only will get better :)

[Desire Android Development] gannjunior:
Hi !

first many thanks for this nice rom!!

just a question: at the beginning, during installation, what kind of "a2sd" do I have to choose?

because I see I have a few space in internal phone memory

I have 4 kind of choices...

thanks

ciao!
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
I did a typical install and then when everything is booted open terminal and follow this FAQ with the exception that I did Yes on dalvik cache move No on data move. Then it will move apps and dalvik to ext (sd) and app data stays on internal memory, which makes things smoother for me.
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Started getting the random reboots on stock kernel with on demand. I'll try installing the other (or tiamatt) if changing the governer doesn't help.
[Desire Android Development] maxxie85:
@mattman

Is the soft keys mod from 0.6 also working for 0.7? If not hoping for quick release on the mods.
[Desire Android Development] LA_:
What should I do to change the kernel version? I am running on 2.6.38.8-cayniarb-ics-stock+drew@master #1 (0.6.1.1) now and would like to test tiamat.

Another question: how can I upgrade to 0.7? Should I re-install everything again or is there any easier way? Will Skype video work in 0.7?\

(wish to have FAQ updated explaining all options during firmware installation, especially with regards to a2sd usage...)
[Desire Android Development] Bojan155:
You can flash over your current one although it is not recommended it worked for fine for me, only wipe dalvik and run the install that you like, same way if you want to try different kernels available in the custom install.

Cannot answer the Skype question.

Still a nandroid backup before doing anything is recommended.
[Desire Android Development] tobby_d:
Hey sandvold,

I recently updated to beta 0.7 and noticed, that it still includes the "old" tobby_d-stock kernel with more governors, that I built some time ago for testing purpose (042412). I would recommend to remove it, because it does not give better battery on smartass etc. but is known to evoke BSODs on ondemand.

If an alternative to the new stock should be placed into the rom, I would advice to use the 042612 version. It is drewis latest ("tiamat-kernel" stock fork. Not the "android_kernel_htc_qsd8k" version, that is used for evervolv stock now) with more governors. For most people, this kernel seems to give a great battery life without BSODs (I am testing for two weeks now and did not have any BSOD with ondemand).

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1168288/bravo-cayniarb-ics-stock-042612.zip
[Desire Android Development] derlotse:
To install tiamat kernel, download latest ics kernel from http://tiamat-dev.com/bravo/ and install zip from recovery- that's it.

You can install rom 0.7 just on top of 0.6xx - I even didn't wipe anything. Just take a nandroid backup before.
[Desire Android Development] arimi:
Video calls work fine

[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Guys, how to initiate Supercharger script? I've installed it with that option.

Also, do we need to replace modded services.jar, or it is already included?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Probably not... I will make them tonight...
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Something seems wrong with wifi.

Phone can connect to wifi netowrks, lan address gets picked as well as default gateway but doesn't pull dns servers from dhcp, I'm guessing it's something with netcfg or dhcpcd binaries located in /system/bin.

I'm seeing this in log:

Can you devs please take a look at this?
[Desire Android Development] siroj:
I also noticed this behaviour a few times. Very annoying.
[Desire Android Development] guy_smiley:
I full wiped. Flash rom then kernel. Full wipe. Booted rom. Did all the setup. Got frustrated that a2sd still wasn't enough so did d2sd too through the app. Sound is normal. No flashes of anything after d2sd.
[Desire Android Development] thosor:
Again it's me.

I've got no idea about the sync-Issue for exchange-calendar.

When i go to my exchange-account and choose "Sync Now"

aLogCat shows only this messages:

...EmailSyncAdapterService: performSync

...EmailSyncAdapterService: Mail sync requested for <mail-address>

...ContactsSyncAdapterService: Contact Sync requested for <mail-address>

But no CalendarSyncAdapterService.

Isn't it included?

How can i get or fix it? Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
During the night i had reboots for almost every ten minutes, on CM7R2.

Had to nand restore my previous GB rom which needs CM7R2 too.

I'm gonna wait for the new Sandvold's release and gonna give it a try after flashing Data++ hboot.

Thanks for your efforts.
[Desire Android Development] bWorks:
I think the HW is slower than in version 0.4.0
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
I've stuck with 0.4.0. I'm sure sand will fix your issues later.
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
it's curious: I had any volume issue. Calls, ringtones, app sounds, music, everything was fine
[Desire Android Development] Ruwin:
Move the Dalvik Cache to SD and you will have.
[Desire Android Development] sroy001:
My phone's bricked after installed 0.4.1 stock

- Installed rom

- installed kernel

- booted fine

- After I activated my phone's data, the phone started getting really hot like almost 45'C and I had to remove the battery.

- After I re-inserted the battery, the phone doesn't detect my SIM

- Manually if I try and search for network, it says "error fining network"

- i went bback to my nandroid backup, however there also the SIM is not detected.

- I guess the SIM IC is blown by this

Not sure what to do, my be gotta buy a phone with ICS now !!
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
May also be a USB brick, can nail the radio sometimes as well. Obv can't test the USB side of it :) Load up android flasher and it's a simple menu option in there. Thankfully ADB still works!

M.
[Desire Android Development] abz54:
anyone tried XD2SDX, does it work with ICS? Too many apps to fit on stock, Data++ partition wont allow me install apps from market, leaves me with 0.5mb of system space with the fix on the first page.
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
Just tried for fun moving my dalvik to sd using my app2sd script, and I don't get any problems with either sound or anything else. Perhaps the symlink part in this ROMs app2sd is what makes problems whereas I use bind mount instead. Also /cache 2sd gives me no problems with market.

However, if anyone complains about slow HWA and uses dalvik 2sd, then I can inform you that slow SD Cards affects the UI performance when moving dalvik to the sd card. Has nothing to do with GFX drivers.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
We know of the problem and we're looking at it. Tethering will also work fully we think in the new version (no need for barnacle, some ppl claim it to work already)

We're going back to tristans kernel (just an updated one) seems speed is better on that
[Desire Android Development] herezor:
Desagree. Only happens when kernel is installed. I have dalvik moved and sound is OK. Only that I did not install the kernel. So the cause is the kernel, not moving dalvik
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
45 degrees isn't that bad. tried putting in a another sim card?
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
twice curios thing: I did that!! No issues with volume sounds or whatever related with voume
[Desire Android Development] desireMofo:
everything works fine, perfect, love it but just 1 questions: How can i access my alarm easier?
[Desire Android Development] sroy001:
Can anyone help me out here ? Is there anything I can do to see If I can resolve it ?

I tried flashing a new radio, however "Clockworkmod recovery" doesn't allow it and says the function was removed as they moved from 1.5

I don't know the adb commands and havn't done it.. Any other way to flash the kernel or to resolve my issue ?
[Desire Android Development] TheYang:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

?
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
I can confirm that soft keys work, I flashed the same used in 0.6.1.1.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I thought there would have been framework changes, as there was a new build... I will double check when I have time..

Does anyone have a link to the fastest server? Or is the one on sandvolds site up?
[Desire Android Development] dr4g0n3:
after 1 day, everything is ok, no BSDO with stock kernel, preatty fast.

Without youtube fix, i can't see video on youtube (i haven't tried the fix for now).

battery drain is not so good, but i can live with it :-)

The only real problem for an everyday use is that i can't make video (oh, well, is a problem for me... i have 1 years old baby and sometimes i need to make video "on the fly").

Any app or solution about that?
[Desire Android Development] arimi:
Look on first page
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
Yes i'm running his 0.6 softkeys with 0.7 release!
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Strange that the softekeys works, but hey that's great.

Thx for confirming the YT issue is still there. But no need to worry. It will be fixed as soon as we get the thing i mentioned with videocam sorted. The same thing will fix both (I think:P)
[Desire Android Development] dr4g0n3:
I already read the first page, and that video app (as reported by many)

does not work.
[Desire Android Development] botellito:

[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
the you tube fix cured YT but messed up my Beweather graphics :o
[Desire Android Development] TKG26:
Thanks to you and others...

I quickly found out after trying to install apps i needed to run that line. thanks.
[Desire Android Development] botellito:
does 0.7 version fits in cm7r2 and what is the best selection / configuration in the installer?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It fits. Everything should work nicely execpt motorolo launcher. If you're not sure what to choose just do typical. You can always flash other mods on top without wiping if you want to try smeothing else
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
I'm sorry to report my phone just had a bsod :(

I chose YT and battery fix, stock kernel with ondemand gov, the rest should be in the sig

edit: the weird thing is that upon boot I get "optimizing applications" as if I had just installed a2sd, and after that "starting applications" but the phone never comes alive. I have to figure out how to make it boot again :confused: maybe a flash over...
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
hmm not good. Might also be the batterymod as we're not certain what the concevenes is with that one. Even though I remved the kernel panic stuff.

If anyone else have the same without the battery mod please tell us
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I had a bsod when i woke up as well. Flashed over 0.6.1.1. Stock install, YT fix, no battery mod with stock kernel with ondemand gov
[Desire Android Development] gannjunior:
What about camera video/foto settings...for example to setting resolution of photo and video?

tnks
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I ran with 0424 kernel ondemand and haven't had any probs.

I wanted to show to a friend of mine the whole install process so I reflashed the rom again. This time I had a bsod after optimizing apps finished, right before I was supposed to enter my sim pin.

So I rebooted, installed bravo-cayniarb-ics-stock-042612.zip kernel, ondemand, everything seems fine.
[Desire Android Development] petar17:
MMS problem, Video won't record

Guys,

just to mention that my MMS won't work (won't send, and later on force close if I manually turn on mobile network), and that camera still has a problem with video (at least with my phone)... It start recording, but won't stop it, ask me to wait or quit... And a video I made won't load...

Anyone knows what might be a problem..? The thing with MMS happens also with later versions of ROM...

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
Ok, I got my phone running after wiping cache+dalvik and reflashing. This time I didn't flash the battery mod.

I didn't do a full wipe from 0.6.1 and I had soft keys installed. The phone was on the desk at work and not charging and just wouldn't wake up. Last night it was charging and everything was fine.
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
Brilliant rom Sandvold. Love your work :)

I can't seem to get the lockscreen working though. It goes straight to either the pattern lock I set or the screen before it was locked if there's no lock security set. Also there's a slight flicker after the screen off CRT animation. Once again brilliant rom. Hope I don't appear as if I'm complaining.
[Desire Android Development] kartnite:
Guys, dunno if I am the only one facing this.

Even before set-up, I get an option to choose from Set Up wizard, or something else. If I choose the second option, it goes straight to the home screen - I did not notice this in 0.6

Also - I get a "<process> is not responding. Wait/Close?" msg right from the set up. For even the slightest of application delays.

A third thing I noticed was that although WiFi works, my Market apps don't update/download.

CM7r2, Nova Launcher, ad2sdx, stock kernel with more governors.

PS: I faced similar issues with a combination of launchers/kernels. This was probably my seventh full-wipe-flash since last night. :) Realized I slept off without setting up my phone after the fifth flash, woke up after seven hours only to continue. :D I love this life. ;P
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
Hi, I can't update "Facebook, Gmaps and instagram" from google play. It's saying that I get the wrong package,

I clear cache and dalvik, and it's not work.

I'm on 0.7 full wiped before I update with TB.

I don't know if it's ROM related, if not, I'll check somewhere else.

Nevermind, I uninstall and reinstall and it'd fine now.
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
I had this issue after flashing from 0.6.1.1 with wiping cache & dalvik!

Have now done a full clean wipe flash & setup and all seems to be working!
[Desire Android Development] mackowiakp:
Google syncing

Maybe stupid question. But as I remember in ver 2.1 of Android for Desire it was possible to setup syncing of Google resources (contacts, emails etc) on-line when phone was in WiFi network connection range and in the absence of WiFi the syncing was possible only on demand. Is it possible to set up such facility in Beta-0.7 ver of ICS? I am not sure because there is not icon of transmission activity on upper info bar when phone has only GSM/UMTS/HSDPA connection to internet.

Be careful, I had some issues doing the same today but according to the info on a2sd this is what you need to do:

open terminal, write su , if you write only a2sd then you see all available options.

if you write a2sd remove:

use at own risk. I had to run a2sd remove and a2sd checkext to get all apps back working again.

A2sd dalvik only, 1G ext4.

Have moved processor min and max levels one up.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I agree with this. When I get back and matt thinks is okey (since he got a new phone) then I can just do the mods myself.

Btw you should all drop by his site and click a ad. The work matt have been doing is something that's really tedious and time consuming and he's even been doing it after he got a new phone. Also he have done loads of support work so if you got time visit his site and click on a ad. And maybe if he's nice he will continue till I'm back;)

Sent from a fire show at koh Tao, which our phone have to crap cam to capture:) and visit ine of my ads as well and you might sponsor my next beer
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Thanks sandvold, md5s don't match, so definitely different and will probably cause errors...

Quick question, in the source the autobrightness steps have changed. Is this evervolv/nikez for better auto brightness...

Edit: no difference to old.one.. will continue with autobrightness fix.. :)

Also, have left my desire on for the past 4 days with the battery mod included.. maybe 12 hours extra and that is without use... That is just normal flash, nothing edited in the .zip from.puremotive... Also on an older release, maybe 5. Something... :)
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
Speaking of flashing other mods, could you maybe add an option to the installer so that the zip file can be used to flash only the mods and not the ROM itself (i.e. an option not to install the ROM)? That way later reflashes to change mods would be faster and less hassle - especially for people like me who also flashed an UOT mod or a new kernel.
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
I finaly got Facebook and Instagram to work. But Gmaps doesn't update, even after a cache and dalvik cleaning, force-uninstalled and reinstalled.

Don't know what to do next... If it's not ROM related, can someone post a link with answer for me pls?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
This is the plan. I only need fast inlet so I can upload more then one version;))
[Desire Android Development] tonyp:
You could search the Maps APK with Google and install it yourself if the market fails to do so. Might work.
