I only restore data to my games to save me from re-doing them all again...

re-download all apps though from fresh each flash - never had any problems and it doesn't take too long to re-set up emails etc.

as an aside I'm massively disappointed that ICS doesn't have a group text feature - I can set up nice groups in People, but can do very little with them.

This isn't a dig at the rom though as it doesn't appear to be there at all in stock Android... now on the hunt for a SMS replacement which does handle group messaging...

Any recommendations? I hear Handcent or GoSMS are popular...
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
You can add more than one people through stock SMS application. Just start typing second name/number after comma in "To:" field.

After sending SMS to that group you will always have it as message thread.

But I didn't find any way to make groups and use them in stock SMS app. ;(
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
yh it should work fine if you wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik-cache
[Desire Android Development] twics:
How do I find what beta version is running on my phone? PLEASE.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
yeah that's the annoying part - I will maybe send a test message to all who I want to and keep that message in the messages nearer the time - but it is a little silly not allowing us to select the group to message :)

i stuck a message bugtracking message on too as I couldn't find any obviously about group SMS

[Desire Android Development] chrismast:
I used Titanium Backups all time long, even when I came from InsertCoin and never had any FC but if they appear make a fresh install of the app as the others already suggested and maybe only restore the data afterwards.

Why ICS is dark? Is it possible to change color scheme?
[Desire Android Development] Magic_Jamie:
Not without flashing custom skins, of which I'm unaware of any and any there are are not guaranteed to work with this ROM. If you want a lighter ICS appearance I would suggest MIUI-AU, it has a much lighter theme than the default, however is far more experimental and heavily customised.

Hi!

Thanks for v3.9.this release is really fast and stable!

Just noticed one "fun" bug using the keyboard:

After using caps lock, the size of letters are still big. When pushing one letter, size changes for small but not the others!

Ok i know its not a big issue!

But i want to help... and its a big step for ICS on Desire!

[Desire Android Development] s37h:
I flashed 0.3.9 after a full wipe and then on terminal installed a2sd. I didn't move the dalvik cache as my intention was to be able to move just some apps to the sd card.

With this, the "move to sd card" button will be enabled?

EDIT: Does anyone know how to prevent stock app from converting long messages to mms?
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
LOL, Just checked. Funny. I didn't noticed this until now. ;-)

So funny! ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Monk3y:
Yes it's that, but warning in the inverted gapps pack market don't work after flash the pack, i have uninstall the update market but not work, yo do flash 1 by 1 pack.

Sorry for my english...
[Desire Android Development] loizoskounios:
This version is much smoother than my previous version (3.6.0) and the battery life is bloody unbelievable. Here's a screenshot:

Display was on at lowest brightness for 1h 58m and WiFi for 12h 47m. First time I've used a ROM that is both smooth and has excellent power life.
[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
If you use an a2sd hack you can use the "restore permission" functionality.

Can't risk it just yet mate I'm afraid, cos my desire is my only phone but I'll be watching dev on this really closely. Nice one!!

Is there a desperate thread for the aokp build ?
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Update on AOKP: I can now get a no change build (mka and wait, then get a ready system folder) in about 1.5 hours. So the good news: it is now stable and always building. Now I need to figure out flashing and USB, the rest should be working as well as it does here or in CM. Bad news is still no USB, working on it. Will get FrankenBuild v4 out tomorrow and it should already be useable as a daily.
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Not just yet.
[Desire Android Development] twics:
Im new here, but nice ROM

+1 on the group sms,

2/ Also sometimes when scroling through my gmail, the softkeys buttons at bottom of the screen are being pressed/highlighted and iv deleted mail by accident cause of this.

3/ when battery is in the red theres no led notification.

4/ when I pull down notification bar I can only push it back up if I touch the bottom right of the screen or just press back.

but all in all still a pretty stable rom thanks a lot:)

I've installed a2sd with

a2sd install

.

But when I check with df it has only copied around 80 mb to sd-ext and data is still full. No space left anymore. Can't install any more apps.

Did I do something wrong?
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
install the ext script... it should do the trick
[Desire Android Development] slow23:
You didn't move dalvik cache. Use a2sd cachesd
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
i use the xdata Option from a2sd works fine for me

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
ext script? Sorry if this question is stupid.

I thought moving dalvik cache would make the system instable. Is it dalvik using up all of my data partition?
[Desire Android Development] super_turbo:
install the ext script...it works better than the a2sd, link: http://mirror.mtsgrit.nl/Desire_ICS/download/40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
after the reboot on entering a2sd cachesd boot into recovery wipe Cache then go to advanced & wipe dalvik! works fine & you'll have plenty of internal memory!:)
[Desire Android Development] Monk3y:
What is xdata option??
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
I guess this post explains it all.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21222591&postcount=1374

So it seems the only way to really use that sd-ext partition is to go with the xdata option.

But as with the cachesd option I am afraid that it will slow down my phone considerably. With the xdata option dalvik-cache is also on the sdcard.

Only going with the install option doesn't seem to be sufficient though since there is a lot of data that stays back in /data and like in my case I am only able to get around 90 MB of data onto sd-ext then. :(
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
OK, I went with the xdata option now.

When dalvik-cache is already on sd, then why not just put everything there, I thought. Doesn't make any difference anymore.

The phone feels a bit less responsive, but apart from that I didn't experience any immediate bugs.

I'll report back about my experience with the xdata option.

Oh my god!

I don't get it Amandroid. How did that happen? Can you elaborate?

BTW, does any1 know how to unlink Ringer and Notification volume? OMG, that is really getting on my nerves right now! :mad: Terminal, script, change file manually, anything. Just make it go away. ;)

Maybe I am holding it wrong?! :D
[Desire Android Development] s37h:
Can anyone explain me how should i proceed to be able to move apps to the sd card?

I have installed the a2sd script and moved the dalvik cache as recommended in the faq.
[Desire Android Development] xelra:
Then you already did. Go into the terminal and type

su
df

and check it out.

------------------------------------------

Regarding the matter with the ringer and notification volume. I've found the fix. It's just 10 lines in 2 files. But this one is not for me to do. :(

Sandvold, maybe? :p

Thx!
[Desire Android Development] Monk3y:
If you have flash the script for a2sd, in a terminal emulator type "su" and "a2sd cachesd", terminal emulator demand of reboot, type "y"

after reboot after the optimisation of they application reboot in recovery, wipe cahe and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy!

Getting a couple of issues with users here -

: dmesg says:

<3>[ 2617.498168] BUG names_cache: Poison overwritten

4 or 5 of these (normally takes an hour or so) and phone reboots. Replaced SD card, clean install etc. It seems worse when exchange is connected - but does happen other times too (just not as much).

The other is a simple bug. On power menu you have volume control, however it works more like a toggle. If you are on normal mode and his silent it takes you to vibrate mode, hit it once more and you actually go to silent.

When will we see ICS 4.0.4 for Desire?

Changelog looks promising...
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
probably if it hits AOSP

I read that it hasnt gone to AOSP yet

also they jumped from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 if I am not mistaken so a lot of the fixes might already be in 4.0.3

0.3.9 is quite smooth, i upgraded from 0.3.6

i still cant get the exchange calendar to sync though, full wipe when installing 0.3.9

Apart from the calendar i had no real issues, nice smooth build

[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
off topic

i'll be honest that's my only gripe with the ICS launcher too - I dont mind scrolling left/right for the widgets/apps - but I want to scroll up and down for the lists... it feels unnatural to scroll right, right, right etc. to get to widgets (i know i can press widgets) but feels far more natural to scroll up and down then right for widgets...

oh well - hoping there's a hack for that soon.

[Desire Android Development] jerry_47:
I have the latest version, 0.3.9.

I installed about 50 apps and now if i try to install an other app the system tell me that the memory is full.

I installed the ap2sd script of the ROM like is described in the FAQ of the site and in the system menu, where i can manage my apps, I have 62mb of free space in the internal memory....why I can't install other apps???

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
moved cache too?
[Desire Android Development] heijman:
I use apss2sd from the market just to clear the cache sometimes. Sometimes it askes me to clean over 60 mb of cache. No problems with errors or FC's or whatsoever.
[Desire Android Development] jerry_47:
yes when I install the app2sd type 'Y' to move the cache
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
U can flash this AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
with a wipe -> flash -> a2sd -> move cache -> wipe cache -> wipe dalvik -> install apps - I have about 30ish apps installed and 109MB internal storage space reported...
[Desire Android Development] jerry_47:
I tried just now to type again 'a2sd cachesd' and after the reboot the problem persists

I don't understand why if the system has 60 mb of free space i can't install other apps
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
You need to boot into recovery and wipe cache & dalvic then reboot!
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
why are you not checking out ths stuff

in terminal type

su

df

you will got a result if not answering you can type

mount and it ll show you all the part mounted.

never need or had to flash the dalvik cache after a2sd install (but do this right after the first boot)

if I wipe dalvik cache from recovery then I will loose all my data application or not??

ROM: http://ompldr.org/vY25xdw

Flash main ROM first, then GApps without rebooting. Stock HBOOT only.

Working/not working/known bugs tracked on GitHub:

Please report bugs on github and NOT in here/through PM/AOKP bugtracker.

Features: everything AOKP + Trebuchet, no a2sd, pre-rooted etc. MR1 base.

[Desire Android Development] Wekkel:
First ICS experience

Fired up 0.3.9 as first ICS ROM on the Desire.

Works quite ok. Only the camera/video may cause some FC's and sometimes a reboot. Video recording works, and playback on the Desire of a recorded file is choppy regardless whether it's playback through the stock video player or Moboplayer. The 'jerks' in playback keep occuring at the same moments in the video file.

However, playing the same video file copied to a PC does not jerk (VLC player in Windows XP). I will test further, but apparently, the choppy video 'recording' may be limited to 'playback' on the device itself.

Speed is sufficient. I encounter the same issues with A2SD. A lot more room than Oxygen 2.3.2, but now stuck with only 13 MB space left while my ext part on the SD card still has 780MB to go. Xdata is no option since my class 4 SD Card will kill any speed left.

Only item left for me: Waze 3.0 FC's. Sticking with Google Nav for now.

This ROM is my daily driver now :D
[Desire Android Development] K900:

[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:

[Desire Android Development] kikumbob:
Something I've been a little confused about for a while now:

As I understand it, ICS's introduced hardware acceleration feature is used only within apps that have been set up to allow HWA. So when it is eventually enabled in this ROM will it only have a difference on processor intensive apps that allow hardware acceleration?
[Desire Android Development] gianguido:
Waiting for full hwa driver, nexus one have it even if it's in pre-alpha stage!

hoping for an easy port!

Sandvold, you're the best :D
[Desire Android Development] Tuborg68:
Hmm. Getting one spontaneous reboot too many right now on 0.3.9. Last time was while running Maps. But I´ve experienced reboots randomly not running maps at all too. So what can it be? I´ve flashed the speed script. Can the reboots be connected to this?
[Desire Android Development] gianguido:
probably, but next time it reboots itself, please give us logcat and dmesg so we can try to solve your problem
[Desire Android Development] Qizami:
I had only one reboot with 0.3.8.1. On 0.3.9 (with speed hack) I didn't had any reboots. :-)

Maybe I'm just lucky :)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
The speed fix might cause this, it's limiting max number of events on screen at the same time (= in theory smoother experience) It's experimental cause the number of evt is put really low, so it might indeed be the reason why this is happening. But I can't say this for sure. Try logcatting if you can, will tell us more.

I don't use the speed script atm, and I havn't had any random reboots on my NEW :D phone.
[Desire Android Development] michie:
We dont have any reboots with the hack but with a previous framework i was able to achieve same speed results in my new test rom with max events on 120 :)
