First assure that you got the Stock HBoot. If you already got that as I assume, wipe factory reset anything (it will also format the 1GB ext3 in that step). Install the ROM, after first boot go into terminal emulator and keyin:

su (for superuser right)

a2sd install

reboot and go again in terminal emulator

su (dont think you need it as terminal should have su already)

a2sd cachesd

reboot into recovery

wipe cache & dalvik (not sure if you need wipe dalvik too but I did so)

reboot

and you are done.

at least this is the build in a2sd that works best for me.
[Desire Android Development] MattSid:
Sorry if I ask again the question, since the 0.3.8 the google calendar app is disappeared, how can I simply reinstall it (with a new .apk?) without wiping everything?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Easily done... install the rom, go to terminal emulator and click su [enter] for super user rights and then a2sd install [enter] and then on screen instructions... just typing a2sd will give you the other commands too...

If you need help at the time just ask in this thread...
[Desire Android Development] Stuar:
Cheers for anyone who has helped me, so it will only format my ext3 not my whole SD correct?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
What will / should only format your EXT-partition?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
It won't format it at all, unless you ask it to.. u can use your existing ext3...
[Desire Android Development] Noitora:
Is there a way to re-add the gradient in the settings?
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Not with the HWA hack
[Desire Android Development] Noitora:
Oh, I see... too bad. I guess I'll have to wait then :P
[Desire Android Development] Stuar:
Ive Flashed the rom and ive been playing about with it for about an hour now, ive also run the stock a2sd script that comes with this rom my feed back

Everything seems to be running very smoothly, there is generally nothing wrong that i have found so far with it. The wifi is working perfecly in my house and all mobile data ect is working

The Camera is working fine apart from when you start to adjust the settings thats when it starts to crash for me

The only thing that ive found that isnt working is the Facebook app but that may be something app related im not sure...?

but really good job on this thankyou runs really smoothly

one question does the kernal allow overclocking/underclocking? as i want to use SetCPU?

Great job keep it up
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
Try *#*#4636#*#* and set your radio to gsm auto. At least on gb that fixed that problem for me.
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
Yes OC works with tihs Kernel, i use CpuMaster works fine 4 me
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
just thought - as there's a hack to get facebook contact sync working - is it possible to apply a similar one to twitter contact sync?

it currently just fails on the accounts/sync with contact sync.

also the touch-to-focus for camera - is that kernel related, hwa related or camera related?

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] lanc3lot:
Hello new user around, just arrived from Miui.

Great rom, so far everything works good with the instructions i found on your page. My only question, is where can i find the updater app. As the link in the first thread shows that is not available anymore.

Keep up the good work ppl, hope you continue develop this!
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
think my phone is dying on me.

Anyone experienced that the phone freeze in both fastboot and recovery?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Think it would be library related... like when we had to move the camera libs to relevant place...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Noooo, we need you and your phone...

A couple of months ago, my phone "died".. wouldnt go past splash screen.. could get into fastboot, but flashing anything wouldnt do anything...

I had to run the gingerbread ruu from htc, and then used revolutionary to get s off again... then flashed recovery and restored my nandroid... only other thing that would make recovery freeze is sd card degrading...

Maybe flash another hboot an then back to stock, maybe the /cache partition is degrading??
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Was thinking of the SD-card myself, but it seems to be unrelated as another sd-card have the same problem. I would guess it's something with the internal storage somehow.

If it continues (the phone's been more of then on today) I'll try to flash a different hboot. But no idea if that will do anything good.
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
are you talking about like corrupts clusters? maybe a format could help, so I agree to try to reflash hboot
[Desire Android Development] shahmohamed:
Just recovered from the issue ure having. I dontt know what did i do to recover it. Fortunately my fastboot didnt fails on me. But what i did was flash hboot from cm7r2 back to stock. Fastboot erase boot, ,system, recovery and also fastboot erase -w. Then i flash beta version of 4ext touch recovery. Enter recovery to unbrick sd. Unfortunately sd card got erased. But desire still alive. Issue happened while flshing dirty kernel by chaos. Dunno i it related
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi,

could be bad block on internal memory, partition mtd0 - misc

bad that no more acces to adb

#cat /proc/mtd

would give an answer to this.

hope U get out of this
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 000a0000 00020000 "misc"

mtd1: 00480000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "boot"

mtd3: 0fa00000 00020000 "system"

mtd4: 02800000 00020000 "cache"

mtd5: 093a0000 00020000 "userdata"

Dunno what to look for
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Got it booting again now, so at least i got on till tomorrow. I'll try your trick when it happens tomorrow. Waiting on an important call tomrrow, so got to wait untill i get that at least.

thx for the tips so far

*edit

stops all the time so trying to do your trick now

**edit2

at least it booted. lets hope for the best. Looking for a new cheap phone in the area i live in as well. So i got a back up plan. Cheapest so far is $175:/
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi,

I read that you sorted this, fine.

you can run

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0.img

this will create a mtd0.img file on your sdcard.

at early stage on htc desire this was the way to check out that this partition was not damaged. unfortunatly the only way i know to edit this is with a hex editor... dunno how to decompile such img file rather never decompile such file... limit of my knowledge

have a look on this tuto if needed.

edit: your mtd0 looks like a pvt1 modele
[Desire Android Development] MattSid:
Thanks, but it's already on "GSM auto (PRL)", it's ok?

Up, any clue for this?

EDIT:

There's another bug: I can see only the full miniature of many Camera's Fotos, but the with the full image only a little part is showing.
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
If you look on twitter @mobilesupport they have an announcement that their Android app doesn't currently sync contacts. I've swapped 4 ROMs until I got to see that tweet

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
doh - thanks :)

tried flashing 0.3.8.1 ? or already on that?

it won't help with the GSM thing I think but the other bit it might
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
still same problem any other ideas:/?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Format all partitions (not wipe) and then reflash the rom and keep it completely stock and see if it happens? If not, only other thing I could suggest is to run the gingerbread ruu from HTC, return everything to stock and start again!
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
If that fails and still under warranty return for repair.

Or we should donate the new phone :D
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
will try that next time it stops. It's still under warranty, but I bought it online so it's a good 3 weeks to get it back (slow as *** in Norway) So want to try all possible things first
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
doesnt Gingerbread RUU 'void warranty' ? you'll want the last FroYo RUU won't you?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Ye I will, but in Norway the warranty rules isn't that strict:) The thing that pretty much is the only thng they don't sort is self inflicted damage
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
cool :) fingers crossed then!
[Desire Android Development] gastrella:
i'm a noob and i'm here to ask if there is a little guide for app2sd for this rom

i don't understand where i have to see in the link of first page

sorry and thank you
[Desire Android Development] lanc3lot:
Open ur eyes, and see Sandvoid page here-> http://www.sandvold.as/FAQ.htm

Check the steps he is telling to do, its fairly easy.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hmmm... I guess it does, but then when I had to do I was told u can't downgrade, so maybe it is not possible to run the ruu... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] kikumbob:
At step 6. make sure you type.

su
adb shell
a2sd install

As a newbie at this too, it took me a while to realise I had to use adb shell first.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Why would it void warranty? It's not custom rom but htc made.

Nevermind HTC saying it's a developer version (how the f is it a dev version when it's locked?)
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
yes but gingerbread was released under different conditions then OTA.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I've downgraded before so that shouldn't be an issue. Got another tip on PM to remove battery for 10 min if it freezes. (it's caused by a malfunctioning radio apparently). It's just a workaround that will eventually stop working. But maybe I get some more juice out of it. Will try to upgrade radio as well, since the problem started when I flashed the radio that was giving good battery reports.

Anyway I guess it's time to find a new desire as well, just to be safe.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Oh, well after you say that about the radio then it's kind of obvious :) Just flash the last radio you were on...

[Desire Android Development] guesXy:
I'm on 0.3.7, not sure if this exists on 0.3.8.1. When accessing gallery (by any means), it says to me "0 images/videos available" and that is fine as I def dont have any there :) But the message doesnt dissappear and hovers over all other windows/apps/etc. And gallery even isnt runnign among processes. Anyon else gets the same?

Also dev tools/water doesnt work... not that it shoudl I guess :)
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
you can downgrade with revolution.io + alphrarev downgrade + froyo RUU anyway I believe.

I heard you should wipe cache and dalivk cache from recovery afterwards

hm, put a pic on your sdcard instead :p

i bet dev/water needs HWA - cause I dont think I've seen it work on this phone yet
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Gallery has been fixed up a bit in 0.3.8.1 - definitely worth the update.

M.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Didn't even think of it before he told me. Maybe it's that easy(hopefully)
[Desire Android Development] grongo:
Hi,

I guess there is a misunderstood in this point. When Sandvold wrote:

5. Open Terminal

He's referring to Terminal application in your android and not Terminal application on Windows (formerly know as CMD.exe).

Either way, if you do it on Windows Terminal, the adb shell command is the right option before a2sd commands.

[Desire Android Development] donbronco:
Is flash working in newest release?
[Desire Android Development] W.Master:
No.

10char.
[Desire Android Development] T3h vICE:
hi there,

i installed 0.8.1 and the free appspace with stock application has only 23mb left Ö_ö

so i run the a2sd script and he optimised the 80 apps. after this there is still just 23mb left. in manage apps i can't move the apps to sd-card manualy. so if i want to use other apps from the market i have only 23mb free for this??? kinda joke huh?
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
did u clear cache and dalvik from recovery after?
[Desire Android Development] T3h vICE:
cleared it once again, but no change at all. still 23mb free space for apps.

i used stock h-boot as it says in discription, so now i have a huge RAM. ram is 114mb in use and 286mb free. so why stock h-boot? Ö_ö makes no sense. too much ram and less space for apps.

it seems i'm doing something totaly wrong :(
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Flashing radio, last good idea i got to sort the problem:/
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hmmm, I wa the same, until I had the latest instal (I'm still on 0.3.7).. This time around I installed the rom, then ran the script, then restored all my apps!

Anyway, now to my concern... I was just sending a text message, and the messaging app forced closed on me... I clicked ok, thought nothing of it, and then all my texts were deleted...! This has happeend to me before on this rom, luckily I have a back up of them, but it has to overwrite the ones I've received since them! any fix for this happening again? is a bit annoying!
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I hope you'll catch time to check dk-zerocool's cm9 ics build, claims call delay is reduced: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
I did the same - installed, ran script, reinstalled apps - all fine.

I wonder if it is reporting wrong - do you get errors on the low internal space - check with Quick System Info (Free in market) to see what it thinks.

Or try a reinstall and run a2sd before reinstalling apps
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
My phone is working atm, so I better hurry:P I'll report back in 20 to see if it's working

*edit

Phone froze again, got to let it chill for 10 min before I can do anything

**edit

booting the fix I added might also make it smoother + better battery. so fingers crossed once again

***edit

boots and works smoother it seems, but phone is definatly ****ed:(
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
anyone knows if changing hboot for good might sort the freeze problem?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Checked out the changes dk did, can't see how that fixes call delay, but at least I managed to make it speed up. Uploading atm
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
Args... UL.to is busy :(
[Desire Android Development] lanc3lot:
True, waiting :(

Ps

Just re-install right to update? Also take a note to remove your refference for the Updater APK, as its not working anymore. Finally, can u explain a bit more with is the speed hack?

Thnx again!
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Can you elaborate about the speed tweak?
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
so has the freezing stopped or...
[Desire Android Development] ninjaz:
Please upload Beta v0.3.9 to other place. I can't download on this one. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] lanc3lot:
UL just let me download it. Retry ppl
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
OK dl is done thx ;)
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
I've just tested your ROM for a few days. It works like a charm. So far I haven't run into any bugs. No force closes, no reboots, everything works as it should. Good job. I've clicked the ad on your website from every device with a different IP that I have. :-)

I found something potentially dangerous in your ROM. Per default data roaming is enabled. You should really change that. If I were living close to the border, well... you know!

The other thing is a question: Does anybody know how to disable homescreens? 5 are just too many for me.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
do I need to run a2sd install again after updating? I think not but just wondered on checking while it DL's

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
High speed mirror is up.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Freezing haven't stopped, but got it booted long enough to do some basic testing:)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Oh the experimental tweak is flashable
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
what sort of speed increase should we expect? general rom speed or something else? cause its pretty speedy for me already (used to sense roms) :D
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Than you shouldn't apply speed fix :D
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's not like ICS on drugs or anything, but it seems faster for me at least (and hd2 testers, we worked on the same thing at the same time without knowing:P)
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
the zip only includes a build.prop so i wondered if it was the BCM tweaks for ringtone delay
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Do we apply speed fix immediately after flashing 0.3.9 or thr system needs to be booted one time before speed fix?
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Never seem to be able to download mms. any tips?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
It's included (you can change the ring.delay to 0 if that fits you better) I personally liked 1000
[Desire Android Development] fritsypeij:
In my case i didn't get the rom to boot (black screen) with the speed patch flashed right after the rom. I got it to boot with a restart in between.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
you can flash both at once if you want. Or boot to check the speed, then flash to compare:P

*edit

apparently not (look above)
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
ah the speed tweak is

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
No, speed tweak is to set it to 60, but i'm not sure how that will affect the rest of the system
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
heh that was the only thing I noticed different I just copied the old one instead of the new one :p
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Flashed both at once and everything seems fine here.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
just tried - same here.

mms fc's when trying to download
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
Got a question about the new build.prop:

Does it make sense to have the same line twice, once with uppercased first letter:

< ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000
< debug.performance.tuning=1
< pm.sleep_mode=1
< windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
< Debug.performance.tuning=1
< Video.accelerate.hw=1
< mot.proximity.delay=10
[Desire Android Development] Basster:
My Calendar disappeared...

Just updated from 0.3.4 to 0.3.9 via Recovery:

installed 0.3.9.zip, speed.zip, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache, reboot, a2sd install y y, reboot

And now my gcalendar app disappeared oO

Couldn't even install it separately from the package via .apk

Help please!

Greetz,

Basster
[Desire Android Development] Ken957:
Great work on the ICS rom :)

Just installed it yesterday, happy with the experience.

Can I flash the speed tweak on top off 0.3.8.1??
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
Think I fixed this by fixing the o2 Post Pay APN settings as per these: http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=144262#144262
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
No it' just a typo:P
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
yes you can
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
You'll need to full wipe to get the calendar. See notes for 0.3.8 in op
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
I imagine the main thing is they are not different values :D
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
I'm flashing now with a build.prop file with all-lower-case tweaks. I have the feeling Linux (and Android) loves to be case-sensitive ;)

Edit: Got to say this: So far, love it!!!
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
Working fine here. Make sure you're scrolling on the top, where it says "Downloaded" "On SD-Card" etc, not the whole thing.
[Desire Android Development] Monk3y:
Do you have problems with mms? Me don't work, on ORANGE
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
:-) So am I
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
and there, my phone is finito. No luck getting it to boot after the last flash:(
[Desire Android Development] TheYang:
So you won't be building for desire anymore?
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
the speed hack seems to be alot better
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
unless I can get hold of a phone then no, I'm at my parents in law atm, so I can borrow my father in laws desire for a few min now and again to test stuff if Drewis gets a new release out. i cannot do stuff myself though since it's his only phone. But i'm only here for 1 week, so after that I don't know

I've asked in some norwegian forum if anyone had a broken desire, and maybe if I get a few sent to me I can make 1 working out of them. But that's a longshoot.

Last option is to buy one, but not that eager to buy a used/new desire for $160. Kind of expensive compared to newer phones
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Guess it some bad hw.

It freezes all the time, bootloader/recovery and ROM

Last time it was so bad that it wouldn't boot at all. Can't go back to stock either cause it freezes when i start the bootloader as well:P
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Oh man how did that happen?
[Desire Android Development] stvjfp1:
Lets donate people, so Sandvold can get a used/new desire. That is what I doing right now.

Now he only needs $140...
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
check and/or reset APN settings

good luck getting a new phone sandvold
[Desire Android Development] Draciel882:
Would it be possible to boot straight to the recovery with adb? Then you could possibly place the files from the stock RUU through adb push? It would be a pain in the ass but maybe worth it?

Sent from my Bulletproof Amaze 4G from xda premium
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I can get into recovery, but it freezes there as well:)

If I have the battery out for 20 min, i might get 3 min of life out of it. So I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, so wouldn't help flashing a RUU
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Thank you very much, always appricated. can't afford a brand new phone now anyway, back to good old Nokia for a while, but if I even get close to the 140 then I'll ofc buy the used/new desire
[Desire Android Development] F1p:
I just donated too,

4YN41597RT6750345

How much is $5 (£3) or $10(£6) compared to a new phone?

Well really, wouldn't you pay $10(£6) more for ICS on your desire?

This is one of the only ways to get ICS on your desire, is that worth $5/£3 to you?

This is just the lead developer, what about all the people you don't know about?

I am one of the hosters when you download, i'm paying for your high speed download of the latest version, may as well pay a little to keep this going.

Nobody likes paying for something you can't touch or hold - you can touch ICS though :)

:)
[Desire Android Development] StillTheWatcher:
Donating now too, everyone who can chip in a fiver should, think about how much they've done to keep our old desire feeling fresh...
[Desire Android Development] grongo:

[Desire Android Development] Kazuha Vinland:
Seriøst, det er virkelig en fyr som selger HTC Desire til 800 kroner på Finn. Hadde tenkt å gi deg et tilbud på 1500, men da er jeg visst for kravstor. :o Hva skal du i Kristiansand, Sandvold?
[Desire Android Development] TheYang:
without the hack

overclocked to 1,1ghz though
