Ohh I see. I'm not quite sure but if you want to be completely sure I guess you could do the following:

I would suggest that you completely format your phone. Going back to stock rom and hboot that is. That's what I found easiest if you want to go with something newer and more simple - for future uses. I always found upgrading CWM a pain in the ***, but if you have no beef with that I guess you can just use whatever other method you like. As for what's needed I don't think there's any special version of the recovery-mode that's required to run the aroma installer - not quite sure though so to be safe I would suggest to follow the below method.

Find the currect RUU for you phone in this forum post to do so.

After that use the revolutionary method from Unrevoked and Alpharev from this page. Remember to run the .exe administrator-mode. NB: Leave the page open as you will have to enter some information about your hboot and alike once the .exe has been run and reports back these information for you. As for this step, www,theunlockr.com has a brilliant guide that I can recommend using.

After that I can suggest that you partition your SD card so you can use the a2sd script as it gives you quite a lot more space on your device for apps and etc. If you have a partition on your sd-card you can just go ahead and flash the rom. It's quite simple, but as for this very moment this rom is experiencing some few problems with a market update which leaves it in a boot-loop. From this forumpost page 1660 and forward is about this and how to fix it. I would suggest that you read those before you take any action.

I'm pretty sure that www.theunlockr.com has guides to the other descriped steps if you find yourself in doubt. Otherwise there's this excellent guide that you can use.

Hope this helps :)

Tried to install 4EXT but it will not install

CWM will not upgrade to the latest neither.

Frustrating :crying:
[Desire Android Development] murtuzasb:
I removed the old Play Store as detailed in previous posts... my ROM boots correctly now.

Next I downloaded Vending-3.8.15.noupdate.norestrictions.apk , copied it to the /system/app folder using a file explorer and changed its permission to rw,r,r as described in various posts. I then rebooted the phone.

The play store still does not show up though. Am I missing something?? :(
[Desire Android Development] nate51:
Did you rename the file to 'vending.apk'? Also make sure the folder already has a vending.apk file as last I recall some people have said it is in different folders for them I think.
[Desire Android Development] lifeisfun:
Finally managed to make my device S-Off (had to flash cm7 instead of LeeDroid first) and now 4EXT installed without problems.

Can someone please help me how to partition the SD card properly using 4EXT before I install this ROM?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] murtuzasb:
I renamed it to Vending.apk with an upper case V... that was what was in the /system/app folder before I deleted it using adb due to bootloops.

EDIT: Ok I managed to make it work... I downloaded a regular Vending.apk and installed by clicking it. I kept my data off to prevent it from updating. I then replaced the /system/app/Vending.apk with the non-updating one. So far so good :)

Infinite bootloop - quick fix

For those, who have problem with the infinite loop caused by the new Google Play Store, I noticed what helped me (I just simplified what others wrote so credit goes to those guys):

While in the loop:

adb pull /data/system/packages.xml

make a backup of the file !!!

edit the file with something good (like notepad++)

remove com.android.vending block (several lines starting with <package name="com.android.vending"> and ending with the next first </package>)

remove com.android.vending.update block (several lines starting with <package name="com.android.vending.update"> and ending with the next first </package>)

adb push packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml

Bootloop should end and phone boots as usuall...

Then (when you have the time), reboot into recovery and replace Vending.apk with the noupdate norestriction one.

adb push "D:\path-to\Vending-3.8.15.noupdate.norestrictions.dpi240.apk" /system/app/Vending.apk

Second option here would be to delete all vending data and put the noupdate store, but i had some issues there and had to put the old one back, reboot, update, bootloop and then do the whole thing again so...

Finished.

This helped me, I tried several procedures, this should be the least "geeky".

If you need to proceed with the bootloop, you can delete the com.android.vending-2.apk and just go on without the Play Store, but then You wont have the Play Store :)

As usuall, check your paths, if you use a2sd (or something similar) your system is all over the sd card :)
[Desire Android Development] nenadj:
I have tried most of the JB ROM, but none of them provides stability and comfort with the installation like this one.

Also I think that it is inappropriate to advertise other ROMs here, no matter how good they are.
[Desire Android Development] Flying Scotsman:
I know it's bad show to ask for a rom on another rom's page but is it possible to stick the CM7 version here or somewhere? I'm abysmal at making ROMs and reluctant to swap hBoots again (especially after I got A2SDx working).
[Desire Android Development] alg5:
I switched from 0.13 to 0.18 because i wanted camera, but i got following issues:

- More freeze than 0.13

- Wall paper animation tends to stop/freeze.

- Sometime when I unplug headset the player reappears and play the music...

Well i'm not impressed by this version...
[Desire Android Development] Ashutosh1313:
You have to change kernel from on-demand to smartassv2 and install another music player from market mostly power mp3 its flawless. This is perfect Rom.
[Desire Android Development] matteo.rek:
Installi thriller last version and setting SmartAssV2 no issue with this ROM!!! :)

[Desire Android Development] sdspieg:
I did the same with the more recent version (Vending-3.8.17.noupdate.nosig-aligned.apk) and it DID solve the boot-problem. But can somebody tell whether this can/will be fixed more permanently in a next update of this ROM? Or will be be stuck with the non-updateable version of the Market?

UPDATE - I got it wrong. Just had to reboot and I'm stuck again... So I guess the new Vending didn't do the trick.

-Stephan
[Desire Android Development] Hammerbak:
At this current time no one is able to tell when an update will be released. Sandvold wrote a few pages back that he was very busy handling personal affairs and that he didn't have that much time to tingle with his rom.

As for now you will be stuck with the non-updateable market for god knows how long.
[Desire Android Development] alex_android:
I'm using an old Nokia in the interim *shudder* My desire has the boot loop issue and I just don't have the time or energy to fix it right now. maybe after exams..

If you don't reboot often You can fix the loop by one adb command. Or by few more if you want a permanent fix...
[Desire Android Development] gamekid:
last time i installed this rom was about version 0.8 i think, but now i'm back on this rom and it looks way better!

the search function of xda seems to be broken! so i wanted to ask a few questions..

i use amarullz script, have 1 gb ext partition and get this warning for "low space" all the time.. anyone an idea to remove that? it's kind of annoying..

second thing i wanted to ask: is google chrome running on your devices? i get a warning like "some important files are missing" -> FC :(

edit: it looks like i have this boot loop issue as well :$

thanks for help!
[Desire Android Development] ntn_labs:
Chrome is the same with me, but I also use amarullz script and someone already found out that amarullz is not working properly...
[Desire Android Development] nate51:
For the low disk space, I found none of the a2sd script mods worked for me but stock. But remember to activate/install in terminal emulator (details on OP). The boot loop issue is a problem due to Play Store. I cannot find the posts before with the solution (same issue with search you had) but when it is back, look for Play Store, I posted one which was originally posted by another user, I just added a touch more info. Using ES File Explorer method for me was the easiest and I have not had a boot loop since and I shut my phone off every night.

Hope I was able to help.

Just ordered my new Nexus 4. I add good time with this rom. It give my desire a few more month of living. Now time to move on.

Smart ass v2 didn't change anything... still freeze from time to time.

Hi, i got a problem, sometimes, when phone completely discharge, or simple reboot, phone dont boot, stock on evervold, whats the problem? many thanks regards
[Desire Android Development] nate51:
This needs to be added to the OP. Use the search and look for Google Play bootloop. It's a problem we are all facing with this ROM for some reason.
[Desire Android Development] Tourist06:
the same goes for me, a lack of time and energy - whats the command to usw my phone for a limited time again? i could do some backups then

@sandvold: if you'd just fix the bootloop problem, you'd do everyone who likes this rom a big favor - I liked it, so I'd like to just continue using it. But in this, unusuable status, all the work you put into your last updates is worthless :(
[Desire Android Development] ntn_labs:

Hi,

the ROM is running great, but I have problems with A2SD. When I choose the Stock A2SD and install it per terminal and move all the three options (app, dalvik and appdata) to ext the phone doesnt boot (Still the evervolv-logo after 5 hours). If I only move the apps, I can install some, but if I want to install Facebook it tells me I have not enough memory. When I install another app, which is bigger, it does work.

How to get this fixed?
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
Search The thread.

The problem has to do with playstore.
[Desire Android Development] waffl:
I did exactly this, with addition of bolded parts, since I couldnt access the Play Store (app not installed error) after the first push. So I guess maybe it needs one in the sd-ext.

Thanks for the guide !

hey guys, I've read that it's needed to use adb to fix the bootloop issue, but I'm a noob in this... where do I get adb? Do I have to install the android SDK for that?

Yes.. To install ADB you will need the Android SDK. Sometimes googling stuff can be very usefull. I found a guide for you if you have no clue what you're doing.

If you want to avoid setting up ADB and the Android SDK you can look back to page 1666 and find my solution to fixing the boot loop issue.

Hope this helps
[Desire Android Development] PuffMaN:
When i first installed this rom, i was on the mobile service provider i used to be on for the last ten years or so. But i recently changed provider. After that, things got weird with my ics. My foursquare gave no notifications anymore, gmail app only received emails late night (after 10pm) and things like that. I searched through various settings to adjust it, but never found the problem. Now last night, my phone sadly shut down with "only" 25% batt remaining.. sigh... -.- and since i forgot to delete the play store, my desire went into a bootloop.. damnit.. (will continue on that later) so i did a full wipe, and reinstalled the rom. Problem was solved! Everything went back to normal! So if u come across the issue i had, wipe and reflash!

About the bootloop: one way to avoid it is to delete the play store indeed. But then apps wont update and all that. Luckyly i did a full backup with Titanium Backup before the infamous update. And that included the play store. So once a week i restore the store with Ti backup, let everything update, and delete it again. This is how i keep my phone usable until sandvold finally descides to update! So c'mon sandvold, dude, we're going to die here! Lol.. thats my way to evade the bootloop, only last week i forgot to delete it, and now my phone goes down with a dead battery... murphy's law i guess..

Rom is smooth and fast. I had issue with CM7r2 HBOOT, I had email app always crashing (and I don't know why), so went to Stock HBOOT. Works, but A2SD manually isn't working, I can't install any APP. I have an FAT32 partition first, then an EXT4 of 2gb. did the:

su

a2sd install

Y/N/Y

Tried Y/Y/Y

says done then reboot and still can't install any app.

Anyone ran into this issue?
[Desire Android Development] Arbelac:
Repartition your card. The EXT3/4 partition needs to come first. Use 4EXT Recovery.
[Desire Android Development] ChristTheGreat:
Okay, I was reading elsewhere that FAT32 needs to be at first. I was trying this before and I couldN't get the FAT32 partition to be seen by windows :S (Using minitool partition)

I'll try EXT4 recovery

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
They both need to be primary partitions... ext4 recovery / cwm recovery is probably the easiest... just backup your SD card first... :)
[Desire Android Development] ChristTheGreat:
I think now it is working, Just formated all SD and hboot, did from recovery a 2gb EXT4, now it seems to be fine.. I'll digg more to make sure it is working.

By the way, ROM is working smooth, tried CPU Clocking but can't go over 1150mhz xD
[Desire Android Development] nate51:
Hope this isn't a dumb question but does anyone know if this ROM is still being developed? I gave this ROM with my old phone to my girlfriend and she was wondering if there is a fix for the mic delay and/or the camera fps with recording? Other than that it's super stable and a great daily driver.
[Desire Android Development] PuffMaN:
Last i heared was Sandvold needing some personal time. I hope he will be devving some more on this rom, as it has some other issues too. If you didnt deleted the play store, please do, as next time the phone shuts down, u wont get it running again and you will be forced to reflash. I temporarily switched to a 4.2.1 rom, but not happy with it. Hoping for an update from Sandvold!

[Desire Android Development] algent:
This one did the trick for me : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34429350&postcount=16768

Use the quote source for the version without a2sd.

I also heard you can directly change the apk in the rom zip for an easy install but I didn't try.

Anyway now I got rid of boot loop and have a2sd and google play working.

My phone is still crashing randomly (full freeze, have to remove batteries), this phone is slowly starting to get on my nerves and my batteries are almost dead.

I'm probably gonna jump on the LG nexus 4, well assuming they restock it soon.
[Desire Android Development] PuffMaN:
Well, i finally took the time to insert the hacked play store apk into the zip and installed from scratch. So far, this worked great! So if you are willing to wipe ur phone, try this!
[Desire Android Development] algent:
I'm going to try this.

By the way, I tried to use a2sd to be able to install things and when rebooting (not the 1st time) I got stuck in a bootloop :(. Any idea on how I could fix this ? I can live with a phone randomly rebooting but a phone not booting isn't that useful ^^'.
[Desire Android Development] otlet:
y phone works without problems, but the store does not work, or crashes, or pulls up to 100% and the new begins. It is fairly annoying, but do not mind too much, but no supermarket = it's not android. How do I fix this?

Ive done this but when the play store starts downloading it crashes. Any idea what i could do?

• adb shell chmod 644 /sd-ext/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
[Desire Android Development] jetvster:
use system remover to uninstall the play now.

it's no any other problem.

then you will find a app market to install of google play.

it's all.

[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
So after watching this ROM develop from SDK to ALPHA & now BETA, I took the plunge and flashed this quintessential build of ICS.

For a project that started off as “Lets See If We Can Get This To Work”

All the DEVS that have somehow aided the advancement of this ROM… HATS OFF TO ALL YA’LL

When this project didn’t even have the wings of flight yet some ppl shot it down and said & I quote “This will never happen” and “I’ll rather wait for a REAL DEV like AdamG to build Oxygen 3”

Well eat your hearts out you ungrateful pricks and while you at it why don’t you tell AdamG on behalf of these SUREAL DEVS that on XDA is where the real development is at!!!!

To those who shot this project down, PLEASE do ME a favour and don’t flash this ROM, delete your XDA account and donate your Desire to ppl who have better use for it.

Got this installed on CM7R2 HBOOT with all apps restored via TB and NOT ONE FC YET.

Used Amarullz AD2SDX script and pushed the GalaxyNexus bootanimation zip via RootExplorer.

If its this good already, I cant wait for the stable release with all missing functions added

Again… Kudos & Hats OFF to the DEVS whom I would like to call “The IceCreamCollective” and middle fingers up to ALL the HATERS

Keep up the the FREAKIN awesome work guys, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
