[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stig_dk:
Please note that Sandvold ICS v. 0.4.2.1 has some stability problems at the moment. Many people experience "black screen of death", device fails to turn on screen after a period of inactivity, battery has to be removed to reboot. I found that raising the minimum CPU speed from 245mhz to 384mhz completely removes this problem. With this small tweak the rom is great! You *should* be able to change this setting with Evervolv toolbox, sadly it does not work. For some reason the toolbox runs with insufficient rights to tweak cpu speed, I did my own scripts to set cpu speed from the console instead.

cheers

Hi! I use ICS since beta 0.3.9 and I'm now updated to 0.4.4

This release seem very stable now. Just remember that the camera preview doesn't work. Also, you might have some problem with MMS.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
App space problem

Hello - some help for a newbie please (well Desire newbie)...

I did try reading though Sandvolds thread, and I have tried to remedy, but I don't seem to get much further ....

I am running an ICS beta on my tablet, so I thought it would be interesting to try it on my Desire too. On the tablet there is more memory, so I have never experienced space problems with apps.

I rooted the Desire OK - and flashed 0.4.2.1 ... ran fairly smoothly, but hit space problems when trying to load up some of my favourite apps. I have a 16gb sd card. I downloaded apps2sd from the market - and moved some of the apps. However still not able to update some system apps from the market due to insufficient space (even though there appears to be enough).

Reading the other thread, I have gathered some/little understanding... and so before flashing 0.4.4 I reformatted my SD card from recovery choosing the largest ext4 that I could.

I was then ready to go to try 0.4.4.

On trying the Amarullz script and Nova launcher - I was having lots of lag after boot and I kept getting prompted to enter PIN number and reboot the phone. (I had done a factory wipe and cleared Dalvik after flashing the ROM).

I then reflashed choose Apex launcher, stock Kernal and data2sd option.

I wiped after flashing, did a few waits and reboots - as others recommended this.

Now seems to run quite smoothly, I have added back a bunch of apps via Titanium Backup ... but I don't see any apps 'automatically' being moved to sd card. I have moved as many as I can manually.

But I can also see that I am going to run out of space again soon ....

If I look in the settings at storage I see...

Internal storage - Apps 104MB Available 26.86MB

SD Card - Apps 239MB

Am I doing anything wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
1). www.revolutionary.io use this

2). www.alpharev.com download cm7r2.img

3). flash the hboot

fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

4). re-flash 4.4 and choose stock a2sd

5. enable a2sd

su
a2sd install
#choose settings#
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
Thanks for quick response..... I have a fee more questions....

I originally rooted my Desire via revolutionary .... do I need to do it again?

I guess I then flash the zip file.

The fastboot command - can I do this from the terminal app?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hi,

fastboot command and adb must be running from computer.

you need to instal sdk android sdk android

if you run revolutionary, u don t need to do once again but to flash an hboot you must be Soffed.

dunno if revolutionary does the job... i used alpharev to do son gain S-offed and able to flash hboot from fastboot command.

@bortak

1. Done OK

2. Done OK

3. Done OK

4. Done ... BUT ... no Gapps, no Terminal app ... not much really not even a keyboard (even after 2 reboots)

- The link to Gapps for CM7r2 no longer works

5. Unable to try this as no Terminal app ... and I can't get ADB working on my PC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
where have my apps gone?

So I can't get cm7r2 to work, so I reflashed hboot back to standard, I then reflashed 0.4.4 choosing stock a2sd. I installed a2sd via terminal and moved cache too. After reboot I installed a bunch of apps .... and eventually ran out of space - as if apps not being moved.

I then rebooted, and all of the apps except the paid apps have gone. I installed a couple of apps from the. Market and they have also gone after reboot.

I turned a2sd off, then I was able to keep apps over a reboot ..... but I would like to get a2sd working.

Any ideas?

For now I am manually moving apps to SD card.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Did you do a wipe after flashing the rom? I had a similar problem when doing that. CWM Recovery also deletes the sd-ext partition, and as on cm7r2 there are also system apps on sd-ext, they are gone.

With the included a2sd apps should be moved to sd-ext automatically. It is not shown on the phone.

How big is your ext4 partition? And did you create it with CWM Recovery? If so, try recreating with gPartEd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
This.

10chars
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
I created the extra partition via CWM recovery - maybe too large as I made it 4gb.

I wiped the device and Dalvik cache after flashing the ROM.

I then set a2sd via terminal and allowed reboot.

I then downloaded apps (or restored via Titanium)

Eventually ran out of space when downloading apps - so they were not being moved.

Apps run OK.

When I did a normal reboot - the apps 'disappeared '.

Reading Bortaks debug guide the only thing I can see that looks relevant is to try reformatting the SC card with 2 primary partitions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Read what i wrote? Do the following:

1) Recreate the partitions on your sdcard using GParted

2) Do a full wipe BEFORE flashing.

3) Re-flash the rom and select stock a2sd

4) Do NOT wipe again

4) Reboot, start Terminal emulator, set up a2sd

5) See if apps stay
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andysor:
On my first try I selected stock A2SD and set it up as explained using the terminal. (using a 2GB ext3 partition, placed after FAT32)

I rebooted and everything seemed fine, and I installed several apps. After a while, though, I got the "insufficient storage" error whenever I tried to install something. In the application manager the internal memory available had a large negative value.

I then wiped everything, reformated the 2GB ext3 partition to ext4, using "Minitool parition wizard" and reinstalled the Sandvold ICS ROM with Amarullz. Everything seems fine, and it shows 2GB internal memory. However, I've noticed that the ROM gets more unstable the more apps I install (it shows 500MB installed apps now, after removing around 50MB)...

Most of the time what happens is that system apps start crashing (Google Music, Dialler, Contacts, etc.) out of nowhere. After a while normal apps crash on execution as well. Google music is useless, as it crashes after a few songs and brings down the whole phone. Other music apps don't have this problem.

Am I doing anything wrong with the way I set up Amarullz? Should I retry stock A2SD with ext4?

I'm using stock HBOOT, Nova launcher and stock kernel.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looloup:
Got there ..... but.....

After repartitioning my SD card for the third time ... I finally have this working.

Thanks to all for help/advice ..... but (isn't there always a but) ....

Downloads from the Market/Play are extremely slow maybe 5+ times the same apps took before .... I have tried on different WiFi connections - still the same.

Is this a consequence of the write speed of my SD card (it is only class 4) ... I did see a post in another thread where a class 4 wasn't recommended, but this was refuted by others using a class 4 card.

Otherwise all apps seem to be running OK, with no real loss of performance.

I guess once I have finally loaded up on all the apps I want, the Play updates will be more infrequent and less of an issue.

Sometimes the phone reboot automatically without any reason. But I think that's normal for a Beta release.

But usually it works very well.

Thanks Again.

Great rom and thanks to everyone involved!

I assume I need to add a Dutch dictionary. But how?

Which one is compatible with the ICS keyboard in Sandvold/Evervolv ICS Rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whilchyjd:
Problems

This problem was solved installing the latest version of the ROM [BETA 0.4.4.4.1][24.03], no more glitches... But now I have the problem related by andysor:

I'm using:

Stock HBOOT

Stock Kernel

Nova Launcher

Stock GPS

A2SD

I've been using ext3, change it to ext4, wiped all and flashed again, but I have the same result, a big amount of negative free space.

I didn't try Amarullz or any other, can I use another one with my Stock HBOOT?

Anyone knows why is this happening? What can I do to solve this?

Thank you very much in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _hz:
i had lots of issues with all versions till latest 0.4.4.x Realease on cm7r2 hboot. after install, with all x2sd scripts, there was no launcher and the boot animation on top after boot, well unlocking worked, but then there was no launcher, only the status bar on top, but i couldn't start any app... :D no idea what happened.

after switching to stock hboot, i tried the stock a2sd and the oxygen script (coming from Oxygen rom) but i had issues with the space left like above.

then i tried the amarullz script cause it seemed be the best alternative and it works well. After trying the different launchers i stayed at Apex Launcher...

i have an 1gb ext4 partition at 2nd place on the sd card, class4, speed is ok (sometimes you feel the slow card).

Stock HBOOT

Talamus Kernel

Apex Launcher

Stock GPS

Amarullz A2SD

Issues i still have:

- Barcode canner dont' work (tried barcoo and barcodescaner), you see the cam picture but it simply doesn't scan the code

- youtube videos sometimes have some glitches...

- couldn't update nova launcher, google maps or install s-finance app and probably some other apps over market, download stops somewhere and doesn't continue. other apps download in full speed and install without problems. clearing cache of market and dalvik cache didn't help. manual update/install via direkt apk install works fine.

- panorama apps crash

summary of my last 2 days with ICS beta on Desire: thank you developers! :)

I'm pretty impressed of the speed of the ICS beta either i have a relative slow sd card (next i'll try a class6 or class10 sd card!)

PS: I read that the desire has problems with class10 sd cards, is that true?!

Hi

After I rooted my phone with a CF-Root kernel and flashed a custom ROM I wanted do get it back to the factory firmware and kernel. So i flashed the stock firmware with odin and the stock kernel as well but my kernel version still has the "root" in it.

How can I get rid of that?

my kernel version:

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468

root@DELL143 #2

firmware: XWKI4 (stock)

the root and CWM recovery as well but there's still the "root" in my kernel version??

thank you in advance ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubba949:
The root in you're kernel version doesn't mean its rooted, flashing stock will only remove root and CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The root in the kernel version means the person who compiled the kernel had root @ whatever the name of the machine the kernel was compiled on. It does not mean your phone is rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momomobil:
ok thanks:D

so when you buy a SGS2 is the root in the kernel version there?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpivk:
Depends on the kernel you have on your device. Mine was Dell something. It could be root@dell or it was dell@something. It doesn't mater because if you flashed a stock rom you're on stock kernel and that's it.

Hey guys I'm pretty new to android roms etc etc I have a 512 mb gen 2 european blade that much i found out but i wanted to know whether there was a complete stockish rom with the latest kernel patches? I am running GSF now and it is fast and stuff but i would really like it to go faster with the latest kernels as it was updated quite some time back so i imagine it wont have the latest patches... any ROM without any cm7 mods and all just plain and simple stripped and modded stock with latest kernel mods like gpu axi uv etc ?

to be honest if you want your phone to go faster i would go with cyanogen mod 7 latest kang + wbaws kernel with GPU overclock
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
So the stock based ROMS arent the ones with the best performance..?okay and by latest kang which should i try?(i really dont want to overclock and things like that as it may damage the phone no?)
[Blade General] ruckus92:
Err.. Cyanogen?

In my experience, cyanogen is one of the heaviest and slowest roms I've encountered, although that might just be me :D . It's filled with cool stuff and options though.

So far I've been hugely impressed with Elite Blade Rom:

[ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310050 ]

It also has a stock looking ui, except for a sexy lock screen. It's very fast, and battery lasts f o r e v e r. Which is very important to me atleast.

Overclocking doesn't damage your phone, because it only lets you overclock to about 800mhz, and if it doesn't like that clock, it just crashes and goes to normal. Around 730mhz always worked for me, and battery life seems not to be affected.

Stock roms are like buying a new laptop, filled with user friendliness and sponsored apps. In other words; Mighty damn slow. So custom ones are definitely the way to go.

One down, nine to go! :rolleyes:
[Blade General] T.H.E.:
By stock Roms i meant stock based modded roms but i agree thats what i thought was bad about cyanogen that it was real slow when i tried it once before i dont thats why understand how the KANGS will make a difference plus i want stock similar roms as there are no bugs not even minor ones for example in elite blade in landscape mode in the status bar the peeking android looks weirdly stretched and stuff the small things..are perfect in GSF.. if the KANGS can work faster then im willing to try that but preferably i want to know if there's a way to add the latest kernel patches or the latest kernel to GSF..?

Thanks for the replies guys :)

(Swedish Snow was nice but for some reason GSF still feels faster :D)
