Does moving the data to the cache partition affect perfromance drastically? I have a 32Gb class 10 card (Lexar I think) with a 1Gb Ext-4 partition.

Just wondering if it's worth bothering to move it to free up more space.

Other than that, everything has improved and my shutdowns have reduced (had 1 as opposed to 6 in one morning) but I think they all coincided with having used the camera in the previous few minutes which I think was mentioned earlier.

Hey Guys,

I'm on 0.4.4.4.1 with stock HBOOT. After a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik), I tried to use the a2sd script. I used su, a2sd install and answered everything with (y)es. After a reboot, I tried to install a lot of apps but somehow, I cannot exceed the 149 MB. Under storage, it doesn't reflect the 4 GB ext4 partition I created.

Did I do anything wrong?

Cheers,

chross
[Desire Android Development] nht_max:
You mean after flashing the Rom, I do another flash for amarullz script? Thats probably right. So, I guess the Aroma installer might have had some problem with that, correct?

Gonna try your method next time around. Thanks Fritte_SWE!
[Desire Android Development] danilegal:
if not mistaken

Amarullz is actually for cm7r2 only.

no? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] zulusik:
AFAIK the ext4 partition should be < 2GB...
[Desire Android Development] helpfinder:
Hi,

I already installed this ROM from the http://www.sandvold.as/download.htm

Beta 0.4.4.1 (Patch + ROM)

I have choose Custom, but only I changed is Apex launcher, the rest I left as it was by default

After flash I installed from zip (in recovery mode) also:

Beta 0.4.4.4.1 (patch only)

Then I used built-in application - terminal to run:

su

a2sd install

then "no" twice

In System settings>About phone I still see Mod version Beta 0.4.4.2

is this OK?

Another questions:

1. I am using Touch application (former Ping chat), on this ROM I can install it, login, but when trying to enter to some my discussion with friend I always get reboot of the phone. Any solutions? Any idea?

2. I am not able to find option to turn into Mass storage. If I connect it to PC it is charging but where could I switch to mass storage?

3. is there built-in feature to see battery percentage instead of graphic indicator?

Many thanks for answers
[Desire Android Development] tabon:
2)yeap, when u have connected it at ur pc,just scroll down the notification bar and u will see it

3)yes go to evervolv tool
[Desire Android Development] helpfinder:
ok, I swear there were no USB mass storage in notigy bar when I checked :) now it is, thanks.

evervolv tool helped me

many thanks, now the last one, Touch FC, and I am happy with it :)
[Desire Android Development] andysor:
So, after my first not so great experience with this ROM, I tried again with 0.4.4, manually flashed camera fix, CM7r2, aGPS, Tiamat kernel and no A2SD.

It's been excellent! Since Friday I haven't had a single BSOD, FC or anything! And it's really fast. Also, battery hasn't been to bad for me. The only minor problem seems to be that screen brightness doesn't have a great range.

Problem is, now I've run out of space and haven't even installed that many apps. My first experience with this ROM was with stock hboot and Amarullz A2SD and it caused lots of FCs and BSODs. It was also extremely laggy when opening apps. I'm worried that I'll screw up my perfect setup by installing stock A2SD (using the commands).

Which A2SD method will give me the best performance and at least another 100-200MB of app space? I've got a Sandisk 16GB class 4 with a 1GB ext2 partition (apparently for A2SD ext2 is faster and class 4 can give you faster random access according to another thread.) I'm guessing it's the stock A2SD with dalvik and data on internal, but how much extra space will this give me? Will I be able to undo it if I'm not happy?

Thanks so much for the ROM, it's working perfectly now, except for app space (which is actually HTCs fault).

Hboot = CM7r2

Version = Beta_0.4.4

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = none
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
Download and flash the amarullz zip from sandvolds website! http://www.sandvold.as/download.htm
[Desire Android Development] wviegas:
yes its true! it works!
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
@sandvold

I highly recommend you try fatsys hboot with your rom. The speed out of this sense 3.5 with it is crazy fast give it a good think please.
[Desire Android Development] helpfinder:
and another question:

is it possible to achieve somehow that in dialer if I dial som "letters" it will give me contacts?

e.g.

if I dial 627 it gives me contacts MARCEL, MAREK, MARIA, ... because MAR is for 627

THX

PS: anybody with Touch (ping chat) problems? for me when accessing to chat phone is rebooted automatically :-(
[Desire Android Development] nero pinto:
yes sometimes

yes sometimes, and another times only if you go check the sms, the message appear.

But worst than that is that mms doesn’t work, any one notice that or a solution for it?
[Desire Android Development] ftorres:
Ex dialer can do that
[Desire Android Development] toub_:
mms do actually work but the behavior is weird. I usually get mine several hours after the initial send, sometimes only after the same person has sent me a sms (after the mms). It looks like a code issue.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I might include fatsys in a later release. When we're working with ICS sense we try out with fatsys. So then I'm rewriting the aroma script as well, so I might just do it. But it shouldnt' really mather, cause everyone fits on stock anyway. What would make a difference would be to include init2sd or something.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
No amarullz can be used with all hboots. The main point with cm7r2 back in the times was that you didn't need any a2sc scripts. It's kind of useless if you're installing a2sd on top anyway
[Desire Android Development] nero pinto:
great rom for now only one issue

I don’t know if anyone already has a solution for this, but I have issues with mms, and choosing network provider on this rom.

Well graphics now are ok, were already ok in 0.4.4.3, the only annoying feature, is in mms, it doesn’t work, and I still can’t chose between networks it still gives an error in the search of the network and states when I chose automatic connect, that I’m already connected to the network.

But if someone could help that would be great I’m in Portugal and using TMN network, and as I send and receive some mms this would be great to see it solved, in this way I don’t even can be sure when it works if the mms I send reached its destination.

Apart from this great rom and excellent improvements achieved for all the people working on it.
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
No t9 dialler is not includded
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
I always forget both those things. Sorry about that. Never use MMS and it's even harder when I'm travelling and got no one to send mms to:P

I've forgot what hte fix for searching for networks where. But it should be in this thread somewhere. Something about htc_ril

I'll have a look before next release
[Desire Android Development] htc-fanboy:
hey folks

I previously wrote, everything was/is fine.. it is, but just before restoring my backups.

after restore, phone keeps shutting android.phone, however I need to re-enter my pin etc... continues into a loop. after 3times, it shouts i need to restart the device because a new sim was detected...doing that just don't help, gets into the loop again...

I'm restoring with titantium backup...

the second time i tried after a full wipe, I deactivated all unnecessary backups, eg telephone status etc or telephone call backup. but still.

any idea?

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] jurica_m:
Hi

Does anybody have problems with some of games on this ROM - Angry Birds? Sometimes touch is not responding, only hardware buttons. Sometimes works great.
[Desire Android Development] andysor:
Sure, I know I need to do that with CM7r2, I'm just apprehensive about going for amarullz again after my poor experience with it previously (on stock hboot) and my relatively slow card (Sandisk 16GB class4).

I only need around 100-200MB extra storage and I'll be happy. Will I get this through any of the other (faster) scripts, specifically stock? Can they be undone once implemented without wiping?

Hboot = CM7r2

Version = Beta_0.4.4

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = none
[Desire Android Development] Sklblue:
Mine does that too. I just leave it for a few minutes after putting in the PIN and when I come back it's usually OK. Sometimes it works first time but sometimes I get the "loop".

I'm wondering if it's trying to access something from the SD card and taking time or if my SIM could do with being replaced. I'd lose the phone for a couple of days if I do that.
[Desire Android Development] loydcheung:
That's been referred many many times,what you mean is all about T9 dialer from cm9 which is totally another thread,while sandvold's rom is AOSP with some tweaks.
[Desire Android Development] nero pinto:
thanks :D

thanks a lot Sandvold, hope to see next realeses with that feutures :D
[Desire Android Development] rustykwak:
If your coming to this rom from say GB then this will cause a problem restoreing from Titanium back up! the way I got round it was to install the apps fresh from the market & just use Titanium back up to restore the data for the apps this then should work fine! I just cleared the back ups & created a fresh back up for future use in newer releases of ics! hope that helps you! :)
[Desire Android Development] andysor:
Mine did that. I was running stock hboot and Amarullz and tried with stock and Tianamat kernel. After reinstalling without any A2SD I haven't had any issues.

I therefore think your problem is with your A2SD.
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
About MMS

Hi!, I make a call to my provider about the MMS problem, and everything was fine in the setup they had. They ask my to remove my SIM card and to reinsert it again.

Now everything work fine after a reboot.

I can receive and send MMS.
[Desire Android Development] BMelz:
I have a 16GB Lexar class 10 that absolutely sucks with Amarullz for some reason. I've tried a couple different times on different installs. I find for me, the best solution is stock a2sd install selecting No to both questions during the install. If I choose Yes to either of the options then the phone seems to be laggy when opening applications.

The stock A2SD keeps my config fast and frees up a bunch of space for downloaded apps.. Give it a try (instructions on OP) and it's really easy to reverse/unisntall if it causes any issues/lag.

good luck
[Desire Android Development] toub_:
Just in and out with the phone off ? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] gab_hamelin:
Yes, and no problem wit MMS now. It's seems weird, but it worked

But maybe all have the same issus next time I flash.
[Desire Android Development] tajimura:
My case is even more weid - last night I unintendedly sent MMS (tapped a wrong element of the list) and it got sent, whilst a month before I have tried thousand methods of making mms work in ICS and never suceeded. So, it worked last night, and since the night no problems with mms.

Summarizing: it didn't work, i tried to do something it didn't work, it didn't work, it didn't work, it didn't work and all of a sudden it worked.

Sent from nowhere

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I absolutely have no issues whatsoever. No probs with mms or batt drain. Running latest, cm7r2, apps on sd, dalvik and data internal, latest tiamat.

Actually I'd say batt seems pretty close to what I had on gingervillain.

What am I doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] 6chrisp:
Is stock browser slow at rendering for everyone?

I was under the impression it was until someone said theirs was lightning fast before they changed their a2sd option!

Can a2sd affect this?
[Desire Android Development] NiteAngyl:
*edit*

Nevermind. I was complaining about a malfunctioning camcorder, but it seems that it's widely known.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
I guess it is kind of slow, but I'm using chrome instead.

When I had data on sd everything was extremely slow, but I blame it on the cheap sd I have. That's why I'm usinh cm7r2 with data and dalvik internal
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
That's going to happen, especially so if you have a slow SD card. You might slightly better performance if you don't put your dalvik cache on your SD card.
[Desire Android Development] elcom:
Same here. Haven't been able to use the camcorder at all.
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
0.4.4.4.1 is solid!

I'm running 0.4.4.4.1 (man, that a long version number!) with Tiamat's kernel on CM7r2 without A2SD and everything is super smooth without any re-boots and very little lagging. Facebook still FCs, but I think it's a crappy app.

Cam preview is working perfectly and I was able to record some video. Haven't tried panoramic yet, but it's a feature I never use anyway.

There was a small hiccup with the 0.4.4.2 update, but everything's been resolved.

Keep up the great work guys!

If you're running an older version update now. You'll be happy you did.

Mod version?

First I've flashed the Beta 0.4.4.3 ROM and tried the 0.4.4.4.1 patch (via Recovery > Install from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard) after reboot, but when I open About Phone at the Settings menu, I see that under "Mod Version" it says Desire Beta 0.4.4.2.

Now I'm unsure if the patch has worked. I guess it should say Beta 0.4.4.4.1 by now right? Is there anything I overlooked while flashing the ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] mld0491:
a very good way to tell is if you're still getting the weird artefacts on certain menues

edit: mine says 0.4.4.2 but defintely 0.4.4.4.1 as it fixed the artefact issue
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
My Mod Version also said Desire Beta 0.4.4.2 after flashing the patches. I'm assuming everything went well since all the graphic glitches I had resolved.

[Desire Android Development] NiteAngyl:
Since I don't experience any said problem, aside the malfunctioning camcorder, I guess that the patching worked. There's no way to tell for sure this way. Even the Recovery menu says a 0.4.4 version is installed.
[Desire Android Development] helpfinder:
does somebody test most stable and fast combination of launcher, kernel etc? Or if no need to have a lot of space if a2sd, dalvik etc are good to do or it just takes some performance away?

I installed 4.4.3 (not with defailt but first available launcher), last patch then, a2sd and run quadrant standard - get around 960 points.

But e.g. Dolphin hd browser is inceedibly slow (comparing before flashed mildwild oxy rom), touch app is restarting phone, changing from landscape to portrair and back is slower ...

But on other hand some nice new features and sw upgrades are present ..

I'm having issues restoring my apps from Titanium.

Was running on 0.4.3 with stock kernal, but got a couple of blackscreen lockups(bsod??), so upgraded to try the tiamat kernel.

Problem is that TB just seems to freeze while restoring & not progress any further. It doesn't seem to be any particular app, cause I can reboot then try again & deselect the app it stopped on, but will freeze again at random %.

I can't remember exactly what a2sd option I ran on the original install, so could that have something to do with it?? Is there a way I can tell if I restore from nand?

Any other ideas why TB might be playing up??

Other than that, was really liking this ROM. Other than the blackscreens issues, hadn't had any real problems, apart from the LED not working in Handcent etc.
