I cannot flash any if the zips in recovery and so cannot access superuser etc. I am runnig the cm7 version. Not had any luck getting back to stock boot. Help?
[Desire Android Development] Jurrvoss:
Im using the 0.3.5HW and using it as a daily rom , everythings working except the camera which I can't be bothered about.

battery is also amazing.. 13 hours now and im on 77 % while doing some whatsapp and browsing !

Great work guys , keep it up
[Desire Android Development] RyoSaeba254:
Same here!! Running alpha.0.3.5HW cm7r2 version (tnx, btw!) and almost everything is working!! It's amazing and very smooth.. camera is not working of course and I had some FC (e.g. APW contacts widget won't refresh and FC) but that's it!! I've also been able to restore wifi point and apps with titanium backup and I still have 93mb free... It could definitely be used as daily rom!! good job, guys!! keep working on it because it's going to be something spectacular!!

:)
[Desire Android Development] zlatkoimamovic:
Hi,

how did you get titanium working??? Because somehow I can't get su permission...and I don't know why. I only installed whatsapp and spotify and it said that the memory was full. I'm wondering how you got 93 mb left (how many apps)???

Btw I agree...It is great what devs did so far!!! Thanks guys!!!

Edit: Got the root...had to reflash su...but 93 mb???
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Do the zips have to be on the root of the card?
[Desire Android Development] qballe:
some devs ( as far as i remember : Sandvold ) report for the HW version , the cpu ( major time ) at 100% and an abnormal logcat log , and also a really warm phone, did you notice that ?

TY for feedback
[Desire Android Development] bmbaker:
Just reflash super user from recovery!
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
when i try to flash super user or any other zip it says it can't be opened and ends with "(bad)" any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] SilverHawk2:
I had the same problem with the zips not able to flash after installing the rom. Formatted the sd with cwm recovery, installed the rom and the root.zip and everthing went back to normal.
[Desire Android Development] bmbaker:
Then start over do a full wipe reflash the from and then the kernel and then super user and then reboot .
[Desire Android Development] dk_zero-cool:
I tried it out just to see. No CPU problems, no logcat problems and no heat problems. Did not test battery drain.

But I don't get why people are in such a hurry to run this as daily ROM. Gingerbread is a great ROM that works 100%. Why not wait until ICS does to and just test run it once awhile until then?
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Downloaded superuser from website, flashed and now it works! weird. Is there a different kernel for cm7 version? once i have it as most people i will look at what isn't working, although i know its not really supported.

Never been able to flash the main rom, no idea as to why, i'm alpharev 6.93.1002, yet doesn't seem to be stock boot?!?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
CPU doesn't run at 100%, but when you do stuff that's rely on the HW acc, it gets hotter then it do on GB. So some ppl have reported that the phone reboots because of heat. Logcat is messy, but that don't matter from day to day use, just makes it impossible to do troubleshooting. That's why it's not supported + we've seen alot of random errors, which we didn't see in the regular 0.3.5 version.
[Desire Android Development] :
How about removing the link to HW acc.. and let them discuss hw in the separate thread?
[Desire Android Development] Jaybird2203:
Also I would suggest removing it from the heading as well
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:
Any idea why wheb flashing zips they would fail and be called bad?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
maybe corrupted zip, can u open that zip with the pc?
[Desire Android Development] nozzla:

Is there reason/workaround that whenever entering via keyboard the notification area says 'choose input method'?
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Just flashed ICS rom on my brother's SGS and tried for 1st time ever the GTalk, but it fc's.

In the changelog says that it should work in the latest version, so it fc's because i didn't perform a full wipe coming from 0.4.1.4?

Hboot = cm7r2

Version = Beta_0.4.1.5

Full wipe before? = No, just wiped cache and dalvik

A2SD-script = Amarullz

Launcher = Apex
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
It's part of ICS.

M.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

With the CM7R2 it's more important to wipe when the included apps change. They aren't automatically formatted like when they are in /system on the stock hboot version.

M.
[Desire Android Development] S_Kool:
Do the full wipe, i did it and the gtalk works fine...bit lagy but fine
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Thanks both of you.

I'll be waiting for the new version to be released and i'll change the hboot to the stock one, since there is no point of having an other one with all these a2sd, data2sd scripts.

I just stayed with cm7r2 because i was using it while on Sense rom. :p
[Desire Android Development] shubhamchamaria:
See....everything is working properly except a2sd...

I did a2sd install..and everything but it still shows out of space error

Using df I will come to know the actual size but then android doesn't allow me to install applications...what's the use if you can't use it properly.

Can any1 help me to solve this problem.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Did you also move dalvik cache ?

M.
[Desire Android Development] shubhamchamaria:
No
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Then, that is why you are running out of space.
[Desire Android Development] Mokshu:
That new Chrome version works really great compared to the previous one. Very nice ! Thank you
[Desire Android Development] an430:
Matt, just want to inform you that the problem of your soft keys mod. When running some apps and the mon has been rotated, the soft keys seem much bigger and the apps have less space to show the content. Even that, it is still great job!
[Desire Android Development] shubhamchamaria:
My sdcard sux and thus performance is horrible with dalvik on sd
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Buy a new card then. You can't make more space on the phone by magic. Sorry to be harsh but dalvik on sd is the only real solution and pretty much everyone here has had to do it.

[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:

[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Seriously, a decent class 6 is far better then class 10. Not going into details but anyone who knows how SD cards work knows.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
They should be that size anyway, but I had to make them smaller to not overlap the keyboard. I will make them smaller in the next mod though...

[Desire Android Development] BombaUcigasa:
Oh tell me more wise master. What is the difference between an inferior Class 10 uSD card made specially for smartphones and a superior but generic Class 6 uSD card made for the general public?
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Class 10 is good for large sequential writes, such as in the video recorders they are meant for.

Class 6 is better for random access (such as small DB writes)

Benchmarks mean nothing. Google if you don't believe me, but that's the reason I run full d2x on a class 6 with no fc or lag, but someone with a class 10 complains about issues.
[Desire Android Development] SoWhy:
It says

Seems like the last version without it was 0.2.1 then though - which cannot be downloaded anymore. Does anyone have it and can upload a copy of the libinput.so file included in it?
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
mhhh what about IOscheduler??? do you thing it could be some help or difference in such case...

NOOP vs BFQ or SIO - which ones are you actually running?
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I'm still around for those wondering and have no plans to quit. The new build didn't turn out as expected so we didn't release it. It was supposed to fix reboots, something it didn't help much with. So we decided not to release such a small fix.

I'm reading 99% of all the psts but I don't have time answer every queston. I'm away and got crappy internet most of the time so I got to try spending the time and energy at the right places.

When Nikez dropped his phone in the ground we told that you should expect fewer releases. But as soon as something good comes around then you'll get it:)
[Desire Android Development] an430:

[Desire Android Development] Amz95:
Great rom! I've been using it for a week now and its pretty stable just a few bugs (Camera, browser and apps2sd) I think I've got apps2sd partially working most apps are installing to the partition but some are not (Google Chrome for example) Does anyone know if I could check where the apps are installing and why I cant get Google Chrome to install correctly?

I had an 8gb class 6 and i have now a 16gb class 10... And i can tell, this one makes my rom a lot faster.
[Desire Android Development] Aerinx:
I've read what you are talking about before, but if the Benchmarks means nothing, one person experience means even less (those who defend low class cards base their claims on benchmarks to test random writes, by the way). I use 32gb class 10 and works great. Using standard stock a2sd, not on latest ROM, however.
[Desire Android Development] sandi052:
Hi Sandvold,

Hi team,

I must to say your rom is excelent... I use it as my daily rom last month and a half. Thank you and the team behind this great work...

I noticed one thing, I'm not sure 100% but random shoot down(a known issue) occure to me only on app reinstall (mybackup root) - huge use of sd card/internal memory ??!!... however I don't stress my phone on performance too much, only playing some logical game with light graphic :)

and in the last 5 days without any random shootdown...

also my battery life is excelent, two days without problem :) now I'm at 76% after a full day around enjoying a beautifull sunny day :)

I have only one request outside the main goal...

with the next build include the last APEX launcher, nothing else :)

kind regards

thank you all for the great work again
[Desire Android Development] Undermyoath:
You can drop the reboot rate a little bit by using the V6 supercharged script, it manages your RAM a bit more effectively.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
I base my claim on 95% of complaints with data2ext setups seems to be people with class 10 cards (in my experience).

Also, normal a2sd involves much larger files which are read and written as a whole (full apks, as opposed to data on ext) so what your saying makes sense.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
if you use standard a2sd will not impact the performance with class 10 cards.

Try to use data2sd, data2ext, data2whatever, and you will notice the different, very laggy on class 10 cards.

if you read the related thread about data2sd and those script, you will see that so many people that use class 10 cards have a bad performance..
[Desire Android Development] Amz95:
Thanks, but I noticed that the latest release of the soft keys are for Beta 0.4.1.4

I'm running 0.4.1.5 should I still go ahead and flash it or not?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] tikkalamt:
Yes, works fine here
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
SD is getting mounted too slow after booting was complete... Is there any fix for that?
[Desire Android Development] slow23:
How do you see that? What's the downside? Didn't notice sth. like that.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Icon @ the notification bar. Well, I could be wrong a little bit, as description says "Checking for errors". But if card isn't really mounted for apps @ that time, then previously selected ringtones/notification sounds (located @ sdcard\media) could be reset to defaults (not really sure yet).
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
Ext 3 or 4?

I currently have an EXT3 partition on my phone, can I use this with this ROM?

I see that a EXT4 is recommended, but I don't really want to repartition my SD-card again and go through all the hassle of restoring files.

Can I use an EXT3? What benefits do you get with EXT4? Is it just faster?

And is it simple to just use the terminal command to convert it to EXT4?

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] aritrea:
ext3 should also work without any resctrictions afaik

but many recoveries support converting ext3->ext4 which can of course also be done by terminal (anyway you should perform a backup of your files before though you dont really touch the data partition - just to be safe)
[Desire Android Development] .martin.:
yes you can use the ext3 partition. I was using one up to a couple weeks ago (lazyness :p)

you can see the differences between ext2, ext3 and ext4 here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/05/ext2-ext3-ext4/

long story short, yes, better performance with ext4.

and as long as you have the default a2sd installed, yes, you can just use the command 'formatext' to upgrade (or through recovery) note it will wipe the partition, losing any data on it.
[Desire Android Development] valery.m:
take a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

i.e.

part iii - convert ext2 to ext3/ext4:

parted will not create ext3/ext4 partitions...see beginning of post
to upgrade, enter:
[I][B]upgrade_fs[/B][/I]

you now have journaling(aka ext3)! if ext3 is all you want, skip next two commands.

you want ext4?
enter:

[I][B]tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2[/B][/I]
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:

Quick question regarding my battery life, after a full nights charge I lost 6% in 12 minutes of very light use with no connectivity on, no apps running, just simply swiping through the home screens and UI, does anyone have any tips on making it last longer or at least a day?ditt

Edit: They look and work great, Thanks! would I be able to flash your other mods along side the soft keys one, or does only one work at a time?
[Desire Android Development] sintaku:
Reduce Screen Brightness. Check this to see wakelocks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

It also depends on how old your battery and its capacity. But having the screen on normally uses the most battery compared to when it is off and the CPU is in deep sleep.

Some people have said certain radios provide better battery life.

I'm using Tiamats Kernel: http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/022112/bravo-tiamat-ics-022112.zip

Using SetCPU to keep the CPU speed at maximum 300~Mhz when screen is off.

Regarding ext4: I am currently on CWM 2.5.0.7. Does it have support for ext 4 or it's time to upgrade?

Is there a solution for this?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Flash 0.3.9

M.
[Desire Android Development] Lothaen:
or at least the camera from 0.3.9 perhaps... did you do a full wipe? i havent had issues with the camera on 0.3.10 since i did a full wipe. but did going from 0.3.9 to 0.3.10...

let me take a pic now and test...

edit: tested - worked fine - did a full wipe the other day and flash 0.3.10 and it worked ok.

you could try this: http://min.us/mdKpqT9ib#4o <- which is the camera files only from 0.3.9 which I was running before to see if that fixes your issue if you dont want to full wipe

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.4.0 and Beta_0.4.1.5 (same things happened with both ROM versions)

Full wipe before? = Yes (format all, wipe all)

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD. Dalvik = yes

SD: Class 4 / 16GB

ext4 size 1GB

Few errors:

1. Sudden blackdeath's. Phone gets inresponsible. Only solution is to remove battery. Phonecalls in give regular call to those who call. For me leaves no missed calls after battery removal.

2. "Insufficient storage available." When downloading apps from market.

Though:

System ROM: 262MB (52,4MB free)

Internal: 154MB (16,3MB free)

SD card: 14,9GB (6,25GBfree)

SD card (a2sd): 1,00GB (808MB free)

Using Titanium backup PRO. Restoring ONLY one game with app+data (don't like last update) and all other restores are data only.

3. Some apps crash phone - sudden restart. It might be that the card is too slow for dalvik and phone restarts when won't get data quickly enuough but maybe there is another reason...

Other is just fine.

How to logcat these things when they most often happen when I'm in the city for work and need phone for the most? Sorry but no logcat at the moment. Will try to produce one over the night.
[Desire Android Development] b0ng0:
To activate A2SD, get Terminal Emulator from the market and install/grant superuser rights.

Type "as2d install" and say yes to everything then reboot.

Go to terminal emulator again and type "a2sd cachesd" and then reboot (it will prompt you for these reboots, just say yes).

This should clear up your storage space issue.

Do we need sdcard with ext3/4 ?

Does it work with Fat32 ?

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] teky:
What do you want to do? If its just to use the card without using any of the A2SD scripting then just FAT32 is ok, if you will be using any A2SD settings then you will need at least 1GB EXT3/4 partition along with the FAT32 ... with Ext4 preferred.

Does anyone get random freezes and then when the phone comes back on it seems to have lost more battery suddenly? I noticed when I look at my battery stats (attached to post) that the battery reading before the crash and after reboot is quite a significant jump.

Well I'm using an extended battery (Mugen 3200mAh), the standard battery is 1300mAh I think. So bear that in mind when looking at my stats.

I'm a pretty heavy phone user. This usage was after wiping my battery stats (after 100% charged) after installing this rom.

GPS off, wifi on at home, data always on.

I use Sipdroid, Whatsapp, Text messaging, Viber and Voice calls. I'm basically at home so I'm on my phone a lot. Also I have swype for my keyboard so I'm sure it uses more juice since it uses the CPU to calculate what I wrote.

Also I'm using SetCPU and using a CPU profile so when my screen is off the CPU is underclocked to the 300 range cpu thing.
