Hi Bel57,

I looked at the logcat and there is a "android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDiskIOException: disk I/O error". This means that the browser cannot read or write from/on disk. I guess it is a write issue, but I don't know why. Could be a disk full or an sd-card issue. Check with adb shell what the output of df -k is. See if one of the partitions is full.

I just tested the torch and is works on my phone, so I am afraid that your led has problems.

Hey marange I heard you're a part of the cronmod team now. Is it true?
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thanks for your answer. Just cleared all browser datas. Well, what should I do ? I can't even install apps from Play Store because there is not enough space on the SD card (error notification) but here is a screenshot, it's not out of space at all.

[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
How much space do you have left on internal. I'm thinking it's more of a corrupt disk problem. Try formatting all partitions and then install the rom.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Added screenshot. Yep, that's what I was thinking of.
[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
The link is broken.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Uuuh just checked, IT works, direct link points to the screenshot.

It doesn't want to load up for me :S lol
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am part of the cronmod team, and I work on the MIUI version based on the cronmod ICS ROM. But I can only work on it when I have spare time left, and because of real life issues, I have no spare time left :(. Hope that I find some extra time in the near future. Also for my mental health ;) ...

[Desire Android Development] pawan1993:
It's ok :) It's not like you owe any of us anything right? Go at your own pace no pressure :) I want to try and learn a bit about porting and compiling on Android during my uni breaks so hopefully I can help a bit :)
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Hey, I just got tired of them buggy JB roms and thought I'd give the goold old ICS MIUI a go. And man, Marange, I gotta say I'm impressed - the rom has gotten much faster and incredibly stable, I have really no complains! Actually the only thing that I don't get is why the play store is lagging when you first launch it and start swyping right - it stutters but then the next time you swype back left it is ok...I think I've seen this in alot of ICS roms, is it an issue with ICS on the desire?
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Well, contrary to you, I just tested a MIUI Jelly Bean ROM and it looks awesome. Quick as flash, whereas ICS MIUI is laggy.

Marange, thanks for all your support. I'm sure I won't come back to ICS. The MIUI ROM I flashed is very fast, and contains all latest Android features. Anyway, good job :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
It always starts like this when you flash it, wait a couple weeks, install some apps and then talk again. Btw, since you are on the JB version, can you pls. tell me if the youtube videos are flickering? I guess they are, because of the base of the rom, but anyways? This, combined with the occasional visual artifacts when rotating screen, killing app with back button etc. holds me back from JB roms. I agree with you that they are more fluid, but that comes at a price. For example, the only thing that is not working on Marange's rom is the video playback, well at least it doesn't work like GB roms, which is common anyways for 4.0+ builds. Contrary to this, in JB roms there are several other things like BT, tethering etc. + the mentioned annoying stuff that aren't really working.

P.S. Oh and one more thing, is there a way to add softkeys to the JB version? Thx dude.
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
I finally have tried to install the new camera and keyboard. Sadly the camera crashes when trying to access panorama mode and can't see the sphere mode, so I'm not sure if it has even be installed correctly. The keyboard is working.

At first I tried installing the apps and it only worked for the keyboard, camera reported "Application not installed". So then I flashed this pack with all the necessary libs, but I'm afraid it hasn't worked.

- - - - - - - - - -

EDIT: It was a failure with my installation, I didn't have enough space on internal memory. I've manually copied needed files over /app_s and /lib_s and symblinked. Now the new gallery and camera are working. They booth crash from time to time and the photo sphere mode hangs, but at least they're working.
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Marange,

Maybe you might wanna consider putting kernel 3 from the cooldroid revolution thread into this. They said its good ;)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the hint. Will look into this (when I find the time :( ).

NOTE: At the moment I have an issue with the last few miui versions, and I am looking into this (with the little spare time I have). I will see if I can get something released in the very near future.

[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Just to inform you, after the 2.10.26 version when I apply theme the toggles in notification bar appears white and wrong-coloured. Tried redownloading already :( but no rush man ;) you already did enough for the community :)
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hallo,

FYI. I just returned from this MIUI JB ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850436

It is VERY fast but:

- I had several diconnections from telephone network and reboots

- LEDs for missed calls / notifications is not working

- some FC, f. e. with Evernote widgets

- German Umlauts did not work with T9

- it is much harder on battery life

JB is a good step forward for our old HTC Desire but it requires more attention like Marange is giving to this ICS ROM.

Thank you Marange for your contribution :good:

Regards,

Gregor
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
@ Marange

Umlauts don't work with T9 when searching for contact in the 2.10.26. I know they were working in earlier versions.

For example when searching for "ÖZTÜRK" the numbers 6988 don't show this contact.

Regards,

Gregor07
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Exactly. To be honest I don't even find it that fast, I just think people are exaggerating...There are much faster JB roms out there. And I also think people are sometimes forgetting what fast means - for me a really FAST rom would be for example a GB oxygen rom or any heavily optimized GB rom generally (except the sense crap). So yeah..BTW I am quite happy with the speed of marange's rom and I guess if you tweak it right it operates pretty fast.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Gregor,

You are right. Problem is that Xiaomi changed the whole T9 implementation and the used patch doesn't work anymore/crashed compiling. So I needed to remove it. I hope that someone/some ROM has a new implementation which is usable for my ROM.

Bye,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] zingga:
Hi marange, just quick question.

it would be difficult rebased the rom to BCM RC4.1U2, which is stablest ics rom?

im trying this now just for me without succes ...

Thanks for your work :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

It is possible, but takes some work. BCM is based on CM, which makes it a bit more work to get all patchrom stuff in (because of the differences, you'll need to do a lot by hand, with which I mean write your own patches). I know it can be done. I did a build with BCM RC4.0, which I never got around to finish,so it was very unstable. I don't have a lot of spare time at the moment, but maybe I can help you with your trouble. PM me ...

Marange

ps. I will try to make a build of the MIUI release of tomorrow next weekend and try to release it.
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Marange,

I noticed miui weather is missing! :( can you please include the English version next time? Downloaded from 4shared and its all Chinese :p (can't find a proper one so.... I used that :rolleyes: )
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Miui Weather is not standard included in the patchrom build, but I will see what I can do. Need to do some work on the 2.11.23 and test it, and see if i can include it also.

[Desire Android Development] Cyanoid:
Tried flashing this ROM, STUCK ON BOOT SCREEN (Miui logo).

I have to reflash to get out. Every time I choose anything other than regular A2SD in the installer, it will freeze on the boot screen. I only have a Class 2 SD Card, so I am avoiding the fancier options. It's formatted as Ext 3, so I thought at least PC-2ASD should work with that? The SD as is worked fine on MIUI XJ A2SD. Do I need to do something special to get the PC-2ASD option to work?

Specs:

H-BOOT CM7r2

S-OFF

Clockworkd Mod recovery

Ext 3 partition, 1.5gb
[Desire Android Development] Cyanoid:
Ok, now the ROM started rebooting constantly, after playing with it for about an hour. It started around the time I signed into Google, and used the Play store. It seems like it might be related to wifi, as the phone has stopped continually rebooting after I turned wifi off. (Or maybe not... it quieted down, but eventually rebooted 20m later, when I was installing an app off the SD card).

Any way to fix this?
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Let me give you a few tips that practically reduced the random reboots to maybe 1 in a few days or even none. First off, I am using the PC-A2SD option in aroma installer, Shaky's Kernel and, what I think is most important - 10% zRam. You could even increase to 18 but be careful, performance might drop! Then, while you are in the rom already, be careful what Titanium backups you restore and also make sure to check the Manage App Autostart feature which can be found in the security center. Disable all unwanted apps - basically every app that you download will start by default on boot. Then in developer settings I advise you to set the process limit to 3-4 (unfortunately you need to set this after each reboot) and also check the Force GPU setting. In addition, to smooth and speed things up, set Window and Transition animation scales to 0.5. With this setup my phone really works wonders.

Oh and one more thing - watch out with over/underclocking and governors, since some tend to not work out well with the desire. My advise - smartass v2, noop, 245 min, 998 max. Hope this helps :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] Cyanoid:
Thanks. I tried the PC2ASD option, but the rom freezes on bootscreen whenever I pick anything but "none" or regular a2sd. I did not opt for any caching option like zram, because I read that takes from real RAM.... which there isn't a lot of on the Desire, and which I find fills up very quickly on this phone. Thing is, it's not "random" reboots any more. I'm trying to install "Volume Control+" app, and every single time I do, the phone reboots. (It also rebooted upon installing an app from the play store).

Update: I just installed 10%zRAM, went back to stock kernel, eliminated the aGPS and adblocker patches, wiped data/cache/everything, reflashed rom..... and it keeps rebooting randomly!

I have not set anything with governors etc., and not even begun to restore apps yet! In fact, I'm hesitant to restore my apps, because I'm not sure I can keep this ROM. Not if its this unstable on my Desire. Much as I would like to have an ICS MIUI ROM on my Desire.....
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Interesting, if I remember right actually the same happened to me. Let it settle a bit. I haven't gotten a reboot for a few days now and I'm using the device all day while I am at work.
[Desire Android Development] Cyanoid:
Ok, thanks but... nevermind! I've moved on already! I just installed the stock MIUI 2.4.1.3 from the MIUI site (last official MIUI for the Desire). After the MIUI ICS experience... I'm loving this one! Everything is super fast, super smooth, super stable... like it should be! And my eyes popped when I saw that I had 247mb free in my data space (out of 288mb!). I don't even know yet if this ROM moves apps to external, a la apps2sd. It seems faster than the MIUI XJ I had on before, but that could be because it's brand new, and I haven't loaded apps yet!
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
I see, I will give it a go! Do you know if it has softkeys mod? Or if the one for this rom works? And yeah, installing alot of apps ALWAYS makes any rom a bit slower, some alot slower :)

Hi all

Which tool or which method do you recommend to calibrate the battery ( Jon Richards battery Calibrator does not seem to appreciate tiamat Kernel...) and i'm experiencing the 15% to 0% decay....

Any info welcome
[Desire Android Development] MetinKale38:
Its the only way, but you could try to edit the age manually to the calibrated age on gb rom, this should work.

Tapatalked with my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] zorglub!:
So, if I get you right, I shld go back to GB rom, follow the whole re-cal process, note the calibrated age and the come back to Marange ICS ( uisng Shaky's or Tiamat's kernel, put the calibrated age in place...and it shld work !!!

OK, I'll give it a try ( thks for the advice BTW...)
[Desire Android Development] zorglub!:
Ohhhh...my mistake...

Uninstallibg/reinstalling Jon Richards tool let me access the whole recalibration process under tiamat kernel...

very sorry for this wrong and unjustified alert...anyway thks for yr concern

Hy marange, I've found this thread

[Desire Android Development] Tung_meister:
Will we be seeing an update soon?
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Wondering too. But please, don't post ETA questions.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
There will be an update. This weekend I finally solved an issue I had for several weeks (Error when installing apps from the market, which was an issue with the virusscanner). I am running a test now and need some tweaking and hopefully I can make a release again (soonish).

So please wait a tiny bit more ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
No hurry man, take your time, don't forget Christmas is coming soon, there are more important things :) We can wait! Right now I am very happy with the rom and the way I've set it up.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Last time I visit this thread. I just wanted to thank you, Marange, and all devs who do their best to keep the HTC Desire alive. As you can see, I own a XIAOMI MI 1S, which is so much better.

Adieu :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sadly the release is delayed. After a week testing, my latest build started to FC's all over the place. I need to look into this and see what is going on. But I don't have spare time at the moment, because of a triple workload at work. So I hope to find some time to figure out what is going on. But there will be a release in the future. I did not give up on the desire.

Later,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] pieru:
There's no reason to hurry, the last release is perfectly functional and stable. I used it for over a month, and the only issue I have is with a2sd (nothing serious anyway).

Take your time!
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Hey everyone,

I'm noticing that the scrolling in launcher is terribly laggy in ONLY HTC Desire miuiv4 :( why?
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
It has probably something to do with the way you have setup your phone. If you have a slow sd card, don't use the A2SDX scripts.. BUT, as for the launcher, there is a little trick which smoothens things up quite a bit, at least for me - disable wallpaper scrolling. In MIUI you can set it up under settings > launcher settings > wallpaper scroll types > choose center. Or just make sure it is not 'By Theme'.:good:
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
I have a Sandisk 16GB Class 10+ card and using a2sdx. Tried disabling wallpaper scrolling and turning off icon shadows. It's friggin smooth :eek: thanks!

Hehe, I'm happy to hear that this helps, turns out it really does work.:highfive:

hi marrange and others

thnx in advance
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Marange MIUI retired

Hi,

After trying to work on the ROM the last few months, I noticed that I am lacking the spare time and also having a lot of trouble with stability - not only ROM wise, but also my phone is giving trouble, hardware wise. The latest release is the most stable and I don't want to release a version is worse then the previous version and gives the users trouble.

I did build a version every week, but first my SD-card broke (took some time to figure that one out) which gave a lot of FC's in the ROM and after fixing that I got more and more issues in the ROM. In the latest (2.12.28) version battery life is terrible. After a night the battery is empty and there are even more major issues with it (like mounting the data partition read-only after a reboot). So there is something terrible wrong with my build.

But lack of time and a phone which is at the end of it's life (by wear and tear, I mean) I decided, with a heavy heart, to retire my desire and retire MARANGE MIUI. I don't say this is the complete end of it. Maybe I will build a version and see what comes out of it. I liked working with and on the desire. It is a lovely phone and I think I will keep tinker with it (for as long as possible). And if there is something stable and useful I will release it, but don't wait for it ;).

A big thank you for all the kind words and support on this trip and also a very big thank you to the people who donated. Everything is very appreciated.

Kind regards,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] _SpAiK_:
Sad to hear that, the rom is one of my favorites and I was hopping to see another update maybe to android 4.1 or 4.2. Anyway the devices have a life span and although my desire is still kicking, it will reach a time when I'll have to update.

If you decide to publish another update i'll be sure that people here will be glad to test it. If not go well and big thanks for all your efforts and contributions.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
It's been a while since I have used your ROM. But it has been a good trip. And a good ROM. At least you have a good howto build a ROM. So you can use your knowhow on any ROM / device.

Or, you can buy a decent used Bravo and continue your excellent work.

Anyway, thanks for all marange.

Keep up a good work, whatever you decide buddy.
[Desire Android Development] panpjp:
Well, that's sad.

I've been using your rom since the first build, and it got better and better. However, you are the dev and your bravo got a problem, maybe someone (not me I'm a noob in deving :p) can take over?

Bye man :(
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
I'm sorry to hear this ROM has been retired though the reasons are completely understandable. I thank you Marange for giving your time and the long outdated Desire a huge extended life.

I'm sure an upgrade is already long overdue for most and MIUI is available in other forms for newer devices.

Wish you all the best for your future plans! Let us know what your next device will be and if you'll be developing anything on that? :cool:
[Desire Android Development] falconyx:
Thank you for everything marange, I am still using your rom as a daily and have zero problems with it. Not only that, but I really love it! Hope you do well and wish you all the best in 2013 :highfive:

aaaargh !!!

very sorry to see Marange leaving us....but meanwhile i've found an alternative...

Go to CM10 Jelly Bean Rom by Vijendra...

It is still a Work In Progress but gives fantastic results. Fore example my Antutu score with Marange Rom was around 2550...

with VJ's Rom, I hit 3300.

The Rom is stable, fluid, almost everything works

Trust me i'm a doctor...LOL
[Desire Android Development] i96danma:
That's too bad - this ROM is still one of my favorites (from an experience and dev process PoV) from all ROMs on all platforms I'vr use(d).

May I suggest you get a SGS3 to continue the quest on another deserving platform? ;) There's no MIUI worthy of the name yet...

Thanks, Marange!
[Desire Android Development] neXus PRIME:
Marange,

Three bug reports....

1. Go launcher app drawer bottom right menu button causes soft reboot... Might be app issue with ics, and not your ROM. Still.

2. Disk usage app causes soft reboot when trying to view partitions for which root is required.(it ran totally fine on other ics Roms)

3. Touchpal keyboard keeps disappearing after installing on every reboot....

I can reproduce these issues and will surely post logcat by tomorrow.... Till then Please look into them when possible....

About the keyboard, make sure isn't installed on SDCard, sometimes keyboards are moved to SDCard and stop working, keyboards, widgets should be installed on phone.

Great with an update. I'm really looking forward to try it out :-).

One question before I do it though: Will a complete wipe be necessary? Or should I just try install "on top" of the previous installation?

Thanks in advance!

You can install "on top" without problems (normally). But it is good to make a nand backup ;).
