I spent the cloudy Sunday to make some further tests, and step by step I was able to strip a bit more the /system folder (about 5mb of nothing), so I moved Email.apk + Browser.apk from /data/app to /system/app, with this

we gained 5Mb from our precious /data folder

:D

/system folder has still 3-5Mb free but I'll kept as it is just for sure... anyway I found that cache pressure is well balanced between 20 (wake state) and 40 (sleep state), so I will leave it.

For those are upgrading wipe isn't necessary but you have, after update, to manually remove Email.apk and Browser.apk from /data/app (& then restart)

I took care also for those had issues with a2sd and I was able at 1st attempt to configure it without any issue, my configuration is really simple: cm7r2 hboot, 4ext recovery, a simple ext4 1gb partition (partitioned from 4ext directly) plus the rest as fat32 (always formatted from 4ext), as usual enabled a2sd for moving just apps (left dalvik under /data)

right now this is my df output:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 202M 32K 202M 4096
/mnt/asec 202M 0K 202M 4096
/mnt/obb 202M 0K 202M 4096
/system 145M 141M 3M 4096
/data 287M 241M 46M 4096
/cache 5M 784K 4M 4096

I've 119 app installed without the need of an ext partition, in fact still 46Mb are available
[Desire Android Development] kmaq:
thanks for your prompt reply, i have already updated my post with the fix link as well :)
[Desire Android Development] ruelle:
sorry for those very noob questions:

- I'd like to use stock launcher where I have to put the apk??

(Can I put apk from customize folder of Sandvold build to customize folder of slim?)

-I prefer standard keyboard cause with yours I cannot use voice input.

but I don't know which is the file to move and where I have to paste it.

thank you for this work!!

grazie ;)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
put it under "data" folder

for keyboard in settings you can force persisten mic (voice search)
[Desire Android Development] gie62001:
hi Suiller,

just wanted to say thank you for the rom great job, but also all credit goes to Sandvold and his team. first 24 hours and i cant find anything to say bad about this rom :)

just wanted to ask whether it has to be like this or not: notifications - it seems there's no way of having both notifications in pulldown menu and the toggle widgets. as i've tried all different combinations but in pulldown menu i can only have either notifications (of new email/message,etc) or toggle widgets. and its not possible to have power toggle widgets present on pulldown menu and underneath as per normal have recent notifications like new message/update, etc. or i'm missing something (tried all combinations in Evervolv toolbox under Notif toolbox.

does anybody else have same issue. well its not an issue i can live with that just something i've noticed and is there any way of fixing it?

thank you
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
no, at least for what I know this is the original toolbar coming with ics, if I remember well something similar to the old toolbar (GB toolbar) is implemented in other ics rom but sincerely I had no time to look in

anyway I don't dislike this kind of approach because toolbar remains less "populated"... attention is concentrated on notifications
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
OK now I'm doing intensive tests on latest beta regarding zRam

I enabled zRam at 18% (the truth is in the middle :rolleyes: )

right now are about 12 hours that I'm running with this configuration & have noticed no issues, even if I can't really say what are benefits

I suppose we'll noticed it under heavy ram load, but there is another "question" about swappiness, because zRam substantially should take care of wappinness too, but right now swappiness is not enabled by default because we don't use swap partition at all...

I'll make deeper tests & then I'll report my conclusions, stay tuned :cool:
[Desire Android Development] gastrella:
How much Mb do have to delete to make this rom booting with oxygen hboot?
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
It's impossible, suiller tried yet but it didn't fit.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I use mx player & it works well (you have to configure as SW rendering)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
are you running this setup with desire?

if yes above all check your nand health (from recovery log after format /system partition)

I'm still on AOKP based rom + shaky kernel & it's pretty stable, no degradation, no reboots, no fc, nothing... stable just as GB

I'm with sd-ext 512Mb partition, dalvik on nand, about 130 app installed even if I use very few widgets (just 5)

the only thing that give me issues is when I use fm-radio... but I knew so I'm prepared :cool:
[Desire Android Development] sgill74:
Sorry, Just noticed, VLC works smoothly, thanks
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
Hi suiller, Yep same setup as you -around 80 apps. Already check recovery log after wipe and refresh install. Didn.t notice some bad block but I think.I should flat system
[Desire Android Development] carval2k:
Hi suiller! Thanks and congratulations for your job. It's the best and more stable ICS version I tried on my old Desire :)

Allow me two little questions, which is kind of important for me:

- How or is it impossible to change device hostname like in CM7 (under applications/development)?

- How can we make hardware key lights to work? It's very useful when using phone at night.

Thanks again.

Regards.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yep sure...

under settings => developer options => device host-name

you have to edit & remove strings related to hw keys of 98mydesireI script...

remove these lines from script:

#DISABLE HW BUTTONS LED: HOME, MENU, TRACKBALL, BACK and SEARCH
chmod 666 /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/button-backlight/brightness;
echo 0>/sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/button-backlight/brightness;
chmod 555 /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0066/leds/button-backlight/brightness;

anyway I'll mod soon as possible the script to enable/disable some functions
[Desire Android Development] carval2k:
Thanks suiller :)

Done for HW buttons leds. For device hostname I don't have that option on my Desire. Is it possible?

I attach a pict with all my Developer settings.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
forgot to mention that this option is available only on AOKP based rom, for AOSP based rom (Sandvold) I think you have to specify somewhere in build.prop, but I don't remember exact string... anyway I read here somewhere...
[Desire Android Development] blenni:
Which governer do you use? Had some reboots with same configuration and SmartassV2.

Anyway - very great work you and the others did for ICS on our desire :D
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Conservative... the only one, at least for me, troubleless... in fact I included as default...
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
UPDATE for both slim roms

CHANGELOG (15 Jul) :

- updated 98mydesireI script (modded minfree memory management)

- updated default Apex Launcher (anyway you can use whatever you prefer)

- updated OS fonts, I choose a ligther & smoother one

-

Download here

or

Mirror here
[Desire Android Development] jdstrydom:
I like the new font. Thanks :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
+1. But it looks like SwiftKey doesn't like this font: the special characters aren't displayed anymore. That's a issue.:(

The notifications don't use this font. There is a lack of consistency with the whole UI.

EDIT: sorry, forget the SwiftKey issue, special characters came back after the app crashed and was restarted.

EDIT2: well it looks like I'm wrong about the notifications, it's just that the bold version of the font seems so different :rolleyes: So everything is fine.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yep, for compatibility I had to maintain original bold font (used as you noticed almost on notification bar)
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
So I wasn't wrong :p Yet it's nice. Will be even nicer if you can find a way to have the same font. :cool:
[Desire Android Development] bungle2k3:
couple of things ive noticed

seems more stable when using nova launcher

also

still getting that black screen delay when coming out of standby/hibernation (after pressing the power button to wake up when uve not used the phone for a while)

other than that seems to be fine :laugh:

doesnt seem to like the facebook app much ( get a forced closed every now and then )

usjing the data ++ version with class 10 micro sd
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I use apex & didn't notice any stability issue, anyway Nova & Apex right now are the most balanced launchers for ics (the default one is too bloated)

if we speak about half second... it's normal, but you are not alone, perhaps it could depend also by personal setup (personally I don't notice it too much)

to increase responsiveness we should rise min freq step from actual 128-384 to a fix value of 384-384... I think it wont hurt battery performance, I'll make some tests then I'll report

:cyclops: luckily I don't use FB
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I've just published a modded version of 98mydesireI script, nothing special just merged a couple of instructions so it should wake faster

if you want to give a try simply re-download mini-sdk & update the script, or wait 20-30 minutes to re-download & re-flash updated rom

if wake delay, in your opinion, is still too much you have to necessarily increase min freq step from 128-384 to 384-384 (or even to higher value such as 384-576) by editing yourself 98mydesireI script
[Desire Android Development] sgill74:
Hi, can I flash update over the existing Rom?

.......our do I need to wipe?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
if you had installed a previous slim version, or one of the two "mother rom" wipe isn't needed at all (neither dalvik at 99%)

just flash over ;)
[Desire Android Development] sgill74:
Ta, like the new font. Love the Rom.

The most stable ics ics used
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
yeah... think slim... to be fast ;)
[Desire Android Development] andaav:
GPS

hi.

thank you for amazing rom.

anyway, I noticed today, that my gps doesn`t working.

does anybody know the reason?

p.s. I have the last build.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Hi,

Thanks for this great rom. I've tried all ICS rom's and all were too bloated and slow. Yours seems fast and light :)

Just a question. I see that apps are standard on SD card. I have CM7r2 Hboot and would like my apps on Nand. Also preferably would like Dalvik on nand as well. Is this possible? If so, could you let me know how...many thanks in advance for the help.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Strange... gps works flawlessly

Have you tried with a tool such as gps status? It will erases gps cache... and sometime it solves
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Does wifi tethering work for you with slim AOKP? I can't connect to the access point, even on open mode. And USB tethering crashes the settings app for me. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
3G eating away battery

I am back to the sheer speed of this rom.

It just fantastic, just amazing.

Though it eats battery much more than most other 2.3 roms.

Specially when I switch on 3G the battery would not last even 6-7 hours.

I do have facebook and Google +, but this drain is a little too much.

I sure do not encounter this in 2.3 roms.

Any way of reducing battery drain when 3G is on ?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Never tried honestly ... I will give it a look this morning
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
if I remember well usb tethering works only on Sandvold rom :D
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I dunno about google+ but for sure facebook polls the network continuously, I suggest to look in its settings and "normalize" the polling (I don't use facebook but for sure there is an option to change polling frequency)

anyway I get an acceptable battery life, even if I must admit... I'm on wifi coverage for 70-80% of the day
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
*bump*

Is this just a stupid question, or really nobody knows the answer? Thanks again...I appreciate the help :)
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Thanks Suiller.

I have checked my refresh period in FB is 1 hour.

Also have removed Auto-brightness.

Will changing the kernel help ?
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
OK, but does wifi tethering work for you?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I use shaky kernel & find it pretty stable + smooth

have you modded cpu freq?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
no, it's not a stupid Q

but... it hasn't much sense, I mean that if your intention is to keep app + dalvik cache on nand you don't need any a2sd script :)

anyway if you want to do this simply create 2 empty files under /data called .nodata .nodalvik (so app & dalvik will be moved back to nand, just regular cache & download cache are kept on ext)

from adb:

adb shell echo>/data/.nodata

adb shell echo>/data/.nodalvik

but keep in mind that you must have few app installed (no more than 70-80) or your nand will be filled-up on reboot
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Thank you...I appreciate the help.

I have little apps in use, so always use Nand if possible.

Only problem is that I have tried using ADB, but could not get it working on my Windows 7 machine. Tried a couple of times in the past, so eventually I gave up.

Thanks again. The rom is great.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
use "adb wireless" from market ;)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I confirm that usb tethering doesn't work on AOKP

so testing wifi and... you are right, it works but actually android don't assign IP & dns to client machine... in few words connected client is unable to reach internet

perhaps it's a kernel related issue, I have to try with standard kernel...

EDIT: it's not kernel dependent & it's not a wpa_supplicant related issue
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
:) Thanks. I only find ADB Wifi (from RYO software) in Market...is that the one?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
emh... no this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=siir.es.adbWireless

or this directly from your device (without PC)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.connectbot
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Ah ok...thanks again. Market on my phone didn't show me that app...weird.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
strange... anyway which one you need? (I'll post a copy on repository)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I confirm that wifi tethering on AOKP doesn't work... I have to try with original rom even if basic code is untouched...

EDIT: we could test with 3rd part app software just to exclude OS issues
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Thanks again. In the meantime I found the app in the Market. At work atm so don't have ADB installed on PC, so will try later @home.
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Fine, let me know how I can help.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Is there any way to prevent cpu scaling to conservative 1075mhz max after screenlock? I use no frills cpu control with smartassv2 and 1152mhz, but each time the screen goes off, then those settings are back to conservative...
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
Read first post about how slim version works with 98desireI script.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Thanks...I have already read this information. Problem is I cannot use ADB...it has never worked on my PC/phone, and I'm not putting anymore time into it.

In the meantime I have found out a setting in NoFrills CPU app that prevents other programs to change CPU settings of NoFrills. That seems to work fine :good:

But...first I will test the standard settings (conservative) a bit further...
[Desire Android Development] efattal:
You should give the standard settings a chance indeed because suiller made a great job and his script works pretty well. A good balance between performance, smoothness and nice battery life.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
...as we speak :)

Btw sticking with stock kernel as well at first, so everything as after first boot of rom. I have to say that I'm surprised at the speed and smoothness of this ICS rom so far. Every other ICS rom that I tried was not usable as daily rom. This one seems to be...
[Desire Android Development] halfaddict:
does this ROM work with CDMA version bravoc?
[Desire Android Development] simplemouse:
Does anyone have the problem that the contact with the SIM card is lost?

i have this problem and then i need to enter my SIM pin and 9/10 times the phone asks for a reboot
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I had a similar issue with an old Sandvold based rom (0.14 if I remember well), but it was linked to bluetooth module...

anyway never saw in AOKP rom
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
So is there a way to remove the screenstate scaling in this rom, without reflashing it? I would like to set my own criteria with f.i. setCPU. Can I maybe remove some files using ES File Explorer with root access? ADB is no option for me unfortunately.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Remove 98* script under /system/etc/init.d
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Wonderful, that did the trick...thank you.

[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
hey guys any1 knows where can i get softkeys for AOKP version? :-?
[Desire Android Development] stonegroover:
Hi folks, I did a quick search of this thread but couldn't find the answer, apologies if it's already been discussed.

I've been using Sandvold's ROM for a while. I tried this ROM, like the keyboard, didn't like the fonts, nice work though thank you. My problem is that as soon as I try to download an app from the market, I get an error- I checked that my was account set up correctly etc and all seemed ok. Reloaded Sandvold's ROM and no problems.

Anyone else get this problem?

Cheers :)
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Settings, ROM control, general ui, navigation keys....
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
thnx for your reply yasir , but i needed bit of small size keys.

the default ones re to big for our desire screens..

Tx...I am using ur ROM daily. Almost no crashes from last update. Only one issue: any video in HD is fine, but SD one is corrupted. Anyone has got the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] simplemouse:
I foud out that it isnt the contact with the sim but it is the os it self somthimes the phone restarts

Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
Each time I start wifi tether it switches it off itself after 10 seconds, no chance to use it...
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
with which rom? with Sandvold we yet knew of that issue... anyway all efforts right now are concentrated to build a daily rom based on JB with working hw libs

there is much difference, apps open on the fly + hw acceleration... so sincerely right now almost all devs have no more interest in developing ics based builds

waiting for JB party :cool:

ps: I switched my device with a new sensation xe, even if my beloved desire is still alive & rocks, I passed it to my wife & like me... she wants to stay always "tuned" ;)
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi suiller,

may i type a lil off topic...

congrat, really nice device. look to my sig.

If need some advice PM me :)
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Thank you friend... so welcome to the jungle :cool:
[Desire Android Development] Tarun Chaudhary:
Best ICS rom ever... :)
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
what is the better rom (more stable) in your opinion?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk 2
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
latest ics AOKP build (.40), at least right now...
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
does the K900 build work with stock hboot too? i tried but the wizard at the beginning was getting a fc everytime i touched the android and i could not use the rom

and we don't have to flash gapps right?
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
hi,

1/ yes stock hboot is good altough it is a waste of precious ram as desire don t get so much.

(remember that slim neans that it can fit into cmr2 hboot)

2/ wizard??? do you mean the 1rst setup wizard? if so i just wonder if you wipe everything and didn t forget sd ext as it s advice because moded script by suiller.

3/ no you should not... gapps are only needed when coming from pure CM releases. however Suiller removed all stuuf that can be downloaded from market and no needed to be fit into /system

music control button in notification bar

I'm using this ROM daily, almost without any fc or rebooting: it's very good!!!!

I'm asking if anyone knows how to include a feature I loved about the prevoius Rom I had been using (MW oxygen vers): the media (music) control button (play/pause, skip to next and previous) in the notification bar.

Thanks in advance,

Daniele
[Desire Android Development] timwb:
I flashed this yesterday, with the recommended hboot and it's great, I was sick of getting low disk space errors. I have a couple of questions though.

1. Is it possible to enable the LEDs behind the buttons? They don't light up at all, is this because most new ICS devices don't have buttons like the Desire?

2. Is there a way of restoring the keyboard and sms client from Sense?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] timwb:
[/QUOTE]

I have removed the playmusic apk from the zip file, since I don't want it at all, I tried dropping a coule of apk's in there (/system folder) that I wanted to add, but they don't show up in the app tray after flashing the new zip. I'm guessing I need to edit a file somewhere for them to be detected, but where?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] dan55:
hi all,

was thinking of trying this rom as moving from non ext part gb, and cnat be bothered going fully ics - has further dev ended on this rom now?

thanks

[Desire Android Development] timwb:
I think development may well have stopped. However its seems to be stable and quick, so long as you don't use many fancy Widgets. I used the large homescreen widget from the "Beautiful Widgets" app on market and my phone simply began to crawl.
[Desire Android Development] Geordie Boyo:
I've come over from MildWild CM5.0 rom which I was having serious issues with. Installed this first thing this morning, and its my first

ever ICS rom have installed, and have to save so far this is really nice. Been using approx 5 hours now, and no issues so far.

Which is the best Kernal to use on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
Sorry friends to have vanished in this way, but I've just come back from holidays :crying:

anyway I passed my beloved desire to my wife (I bought a new sensation xe)

because he needs a perfect working device I flashed to her "new" phone latest stable gb oxygen... and I don't think I'll continue in publishing slimmed versions

a baby is arriving too so you can image between work & family that my spare time doesn't exist anymore :silly:

thank you all

[Desire Android Development] timwb:
Not waking on Ring

The one rather important issue (IMHO) I'm having with this rom is that when the phone rings, it doesn't wake up. The screen stays off and I have to press the power button and draw unlock pattern before I can see who is calling,let alone answer it. If the screen at least came on I could see who was calling and whether I needed to answer it.

Also when launching Lattitude, if ALL the features it relies on for location, GPS,WiFi etc are not turned on, when it prompts you to turn them on it just quits with no error message. This is a bit of a pain since I don't normally leave the GPS on to save battery.
[Desire Android Development] FastSkynet:
Just instaled this everyting works good but the browsee no.

I open it and in 2 seconds it closes like i woulld press home or back

Edit:i tried to restart the phone and got stucked on bootloop and decided to flash the rom again now the broowser works but didnt restarted the phone so idk if bootloop disapeared
