No problems, if you had joined the IRC chan you would've had it much sooner:)

https://github.com/ics-passion-dev/android_device_htc_bravo

As i said earlier, we don't have much experience with this stuff but we are lucky to collaborate with Drewis (N1) who sorts all this git things out. We usually work from IRC and only real fixes are pushed. If you can help then nothing would be better. Either on push changes to the git or to join irc and help us there. Looking forward to hearing from you.

If you want any more info just contact, me, Drewis or Nikez on the IRC chan.

Install super user from androidsu.com and then run chainfire , should work then ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I'm aware of the warnings, but I'm trying anyway :)

Just saw 0.3.4 posted, so will give that a run (just at work now, bugger).

Edit - 0.3.4 installed with full wipe and recommended _thalamus kernel and 3G is all good. Only major issue left for me is the hw accell, but the phone feels fine otherwise!

Yes, I wrote the post after I've tested it. Couldn't check the voice quality, but the gtalk windows app received the call and it connected fine. The only thing people shouldn't try is a video call (obviously).

Edit: Sorry, only switched to a beta ROM for my daily use at this version. Didn't test gtalk previously on ICS...
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
K, I'll get someone to test both solutions, but I guess it broke changing from CM source to evervolv (or I forgot to change to the working gtalk app.)
[Desire Android Development] tlexul:
If it helps, here are the two files (not a flashable ZIP)
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Why did you switch from cm9 anyway?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
By installing Amarullz all installed A2SD-scripts are removed. Okay, my A2SD-storage has only 39.7 MB free, but it did not decrease. So, DATA2EXT script is working perfectly.
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Because drewis which have been helping us, and working with went over to work with evervolv.

They could then provide more device specific help for us, instead of a generic CM source which was really buggy building from. + had loads of errors in the git. I stayed much longer on CM base then the N1 did, because i felt evervolv was to unstable in the start.

Atm they seem pretty similar, but from now on I expect it to be "better" for our phone since we'll get more support then we would get from CM.

edit * and there was indications that CM kept fixes hidden and deliberatly had things wrong in their git (also put in "wrong" fixes). (been discussed up and down on IRC). Got no idea if it's actually true, so no point in having a full discussion about it in this thread. But from what I've seen in logs it seems like it's a chance that they've done this in the past.
[Desire Android Development] Draciel882:
I know we are on 0.2.1 now but here are some battery stats for 0.1.4, they're extremely impressive and better than any Sense rom I've ever used. This is under fairly standard use for me. Btw my phone died when it hit 10%

[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I'd agree with that. Life for me is only a tiny bit worse than most gb aosp roms did - which means it is pretty good : )

When I try to update/download a large app (more than 12Mb) on the Market, the Market app force closes.

Tried with two different apps and tried restarting the phone, but it still happens.

Google Navigation is not working smooth ...

Does anyone know if this is a GPS issue or just some GApp not working properly?

Will try an offline GPS app later on.
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
thx for such a great rom. I really like it.

I know it's been discussed a lot before, but anyway^^ Can anybody recommend a app2sd script which works really well with this rom?

I'm with darktremor apps2sd beta 0.4 and it doesn't seem to function correctly. The apps are somehow divided to internal and a2sd. So I've only 41.7 MB free on internal.

And: do I have to perform a full wipe if I wanna change the app2sd script?
[Desire Android Development] PoshCat1:
I have the same problem, I've downloaded about 8-10 apps and I'm down to 40 MB.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
If you're using dt then you probably still have dalvik cache internal.

Try opening terminal and run these:

su
a2sd cachesd

That should move dalvik to ext and reboot your phone, you should have more space internal. But still, data is still written internal.

I'm using amarullz script (look for addons here: http://www.sandvold.as/index.htm) which is much better.
[Desire Android Development] PoshCat1:
That's the final piece of the jigsaw. :)

124MB free now, loving this ROM, thanks for the hard work.

As updated versions come out do I just flash over the top of the old one?

Nothing else changes then?
[Desire Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
Gallery takes a large amount of battery

I am very happy with ICS on my desire (still running bete 014).

The battery life is pretty good. But sometimes it is not. And it is always the gallery app that is responsible for a fast depletion of my battery.

Do others see this same sympton? And is it fixed in later builds?
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
When sandvolk releases new version you need to flash new rom and dt script without reboot between flashes.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
You'll need to flash the dta2sd script after the rom as well - do it immediately after flashing the rom without a reboot inbetween.

[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
If that's it's true, it's because some people don't explicit write "THANKS TO CM"

@sandvold If a part of the work of a rom is derived by cm, it's a good idea to write that on the first post no???

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
The only part that's from CM is the trebuchet launcher. Which really an addon to the ROM. I don't write it because we don't use CM as a base anymore.

If it's true that this have been done in the past i doubt it's because of ppl not writing "Thanks to CM". Probably more of being the first that release a good working ROM for the spesific ROM's.

But anyway. If ppl want to discuss this subject more, then please make another thread. I have no first hand knowledge and can't really be bothered about it more then choosing not to use the CM base.
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Hi All,

I've been using dk_zero-cool's ICS ROM for the last day as I really like the T9 Dialler but am having some issues so want to come back to 'Sandvold' :)

My question is - Is it possible to use the CM9 'T9' dialler in this ROM? I'm guessing no as it probably needs other bits, just curious. I tried pushing the phone.apk - the dialler worked like standard but didn't have the T9 functionality and when I tried going into the extra dialler settings it FC'd. Is there another app\file I can push or is it more of a framework issue?
[Desire Android Development] arunkk81:
I am using amarullz script and it is working perfectly well. I have the whole 1GB of ext partition to install apps.
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
U are completely wrong in each line of your comment.

Nothing more to say.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Please elaborate if you're so sure. I can even remove the trebuchet launcher in the next release, cause I personaly think the stock one is better myself:)

If you're thinking of parts of the code that's used in the base, then no I don't credit them for that. Same way as CM doesn't credit all the contributers that comes with code fixes for them.

If you want to use CM. Then use the dk_zero's ROM. This is an Evervolv ROM and not CM. If evervolv includes a fix from CM in their code, then they can thank CM if they feel it's needed.

For what I think the reason is, then it's my personal opinion and it's not based on any facts at all. If you know anything else, then great. If CM didn't want to release their code, fair enough. But what's being said (still I don't know if it's true) is that they had errors/added bad fixes in the git deliberate. Which is rather f up if you asked me. If that was the case, then they should kept the whole code to themself.
[Desire Android Development] mrshark:
remove (or freeze with titanium) that damned gallery, as it's all but speedy, and use quickpic... an other world, better than the original...
[Desire Android Development] dafunky:
Noob question :

I currently have the latest Oxygen with it's latest hboot. I don't need app2sd or anything, I'm pretty sure I don't have it currently (maybe it was installed during oxygen update, I don't know?).

My question is : may I just wipe and then install this rom ? Is it as easy?

Alternative question : is there french language inside?
[Desire Android Development] whipping:
Anyone else?
[Desire Android Development] 2WildFirE:
inside imho, yes but german dict dont work
[Desire Android Development] timnieuwenhuijs:
I quite liked gallery.

But even when not using it it pop ups in the battery status. consuming my precious juice.

Just removed the gallery app and installed quickpick. It is gone from battery status. Now need to test a couple of days.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
OK, I understand that and I even might agree with it.

But how do you (cm team) differentiate ones who explicitly say thanks from those who don't?

I thought (maybe I was wrong) that cm work is opensource.

If I'm to use linux and decide to roll my own kernel do I need to thank Linus Torvalds before I can download uncorrupted kernel source?

Anyway, I hope that is not the truth, it doesn't sound like open source anymore...

[Desire Android Development] feydakin:
Sorry, but whats the difference between this ROM and the one from dk_zero-cool ([ROM] ICS 4.0.3 CM9, b0.2.4_1 (Jan 04, 2012) [Camera] [Data++ & Stock hboot]). Did someone testes both and can give a short report?
[Desire Android Development] neocpe:
Instead of stock phone.apk I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer with its ICS theme as someone suggested earlier in this thread.

Hope it helps
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
Can anyone comment on this?

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Thanks - I use that dialler when I'm on the Oxygen-ICS theme ROM. I would rather use the 'stock' dialler and so the CM9 modded one really appeals. Can anyone comment on if this is possible to use with this ROM, and if so what do I need to do to make it work?
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Is this now a lot faster than before HW acceleration? Wanna know how smooth it is before I do another full wipe.

i thing nearly everyone here uses app to sd so pls implement any skript and make it work good :S

Nearly, maybe not everyone!

And what about users without an ext partition (tons of posts "...rom didn't boot"..."please help"...)

And at least it's better to have a choice which script you like to use....
[Desire Android Development] kuroneko007:
HELLO PEOPLE

The app2sd script is BUILT INTO THE ROM. Just type "a2sd help" in terminal emulator for a list of commands. No point whatsoever installing Darktremor, as it does exactly the same.

open terminal

I have the answer :)

My phone is locked on the Alpharev boot screen.

Do you know what should I do? Do I have to remove S-OFF, do I have to flash the stock hboot? I'm a bit lost.

I'd love for Amarullz's script to be built in. It's working flawlessly and super fast with my new class 10 card. :)
[Desire Android Development] romvahav:
hi,

I come from cm7 with cm7r2 hboot.

I change the Hboot to data++ and flash the rom and amarullz script and reboot.

the phone is stuck on boot animation (android text animation) and reloop.

I pull the battery and try to flash the rom without amarullz script and the phone it's still stuck on boot animation.

where am I wrong?

thanks a lot!
[Desire Android Development] cagaagac:
as the link to sandold's site in the first post states, only stock hboot is supported
[Desire Android Development] jozef710i:
Change hboot to Stock
[Desire Android Development] funkymagicuk:
I had this coming from the same starting point...and wasn't in position to run the Alpharev live distro as my pc was 'tied up'.

I had to slip the battery, then after reinserting, power up with volume held down, reflash a previous rom that fit in the oxygen Hboot, then after rebooting into that, copy the stock Hboot zip to root, (renaming to p99img.zip or whatever it is), reboot, flash that Hboot, flash the ics rom, reboot, run the a2sd install, reboot a couple of times, install my apps and all is good.

I feel a lot more confident about the whole process now having gone through it.

Really liking this rom...very stable barring the landscape power down issue. The camera app is usable now although I seem to get occasional black screens that I don't really know how I recover from, but its ok after a couple secs.

Only really annoying thing is how the new browser handles bookmarks...am I missing something or is long click on back the most direct access to them? I also keep forgetting how to close tabs, but I'm trying to stick with it instead of going back to dolphin at the mo.

I don't see cm9 team releasing alpha, beta or whatever for desire, but it's these guys here (including zerocool and texasice with all the people they've already credited)!

I'm still hoping that any deliberate hiding of fixes or messing with the git tree is just pure speculation.

@Sandvold

It would maybe help some people, if the commands for the built in app2sd were in the 1st post.

which recovery is best?

Hi, hope it's not a stupid question:

Is there a more convenient recovery to flash ICS roms, or this particular ics rom? The one I have is ClockworkMod recovery 2.5.0.7 and till now I'm quite happy.

I'm with Oxygen latest rom, with old CM7 hboot.

I know I have to change the hboot to the stock one, but how about the recovery? Can anybody say if ClockworkMod recovery 2.5.0.7 is ok?

And one last question, sorry. I've ext3 on sd card. Which is best: ext3 or ext4?

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
@sandvold

great. the command to install:

"su"

"a2sd install"

cheers
[Desire Android Development] padlets:
in terminal then i write su i get "not found"...
[Desire Android Development] ego4u:
@r.albu

clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 is fine.

I myself used that before i flashed 5.0.2.0. I recommend you update it too, you've much more options in the v5 recovery.

back to Sandvold rom from Dk's

Had some issues on dk's with Google Talk and a strange one in ES File explorer where you couldnt load the system partition as writable

Have noticed that the "re-boot when choosing standby on an app in landscape" is still there - may try flashing the dirtykernel and see if that helps

Seems to re-boot the UI and then you get the prompt that the SIM has been added and to do a full restart
[Desire Android Development] raikesy:
This question keeps getting ignored, but I'll ask again :-) is it at all possible to run the cm9 T9 dialer in this rom? I've tried pushing the apk and it works as far as our dialer does, but I can't get the 'T9' functionality. Is it possible to get it working, or is it not going to happen due to it not being a 'CM' base?

[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Apps will run if the app devs have updated their apps to be compatible. You won't get ICS Sense on Desire in my opinion - look at how slow the sense 3.0 roms are, throw in a more demanding android version and a newer sense version on top of it and the phone simply won't handle it - let alone the storage requirements.

Hopefully never in this build!

But there is already a DEV thread on xda about sense on ICS...

Does it restart and then say about a SIM being inserted and needs to restart?

If so then its a known issue - you can replicate by viewing a app in landsacpe and then pressing standby - it will re-boot the ui and ask to restart completely saying sim inserted
