Thanks a lot.One more thing:

I started making sd-ext partiton,and I am asked for swap partition size. Do I need swap partition and if I need,how large should it be ???
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
No you don't need it... It works also without it....!!!
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Eh. I meant on the phone :).

When the wifi router is set to hidden it will not show on the phone. So you'll need to broadcast the ssid. On the phone you should see the wifi router (when ssid is broadcasted, if not you'll never see it). On the phone, select the router and check if it connects (it should if the wifi router is set the dhcp). If not select the ssid and select static ip, and fill in the information by hand. This should work. I don't select any option (with exception of the adblock option) in the installer.

Another thing you could try is to "Add network" by hand. And then input your SSID. Hopefully it will connect then ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Opinions differ ;).

Ph87 is right. It works without swap. But when the memory is full, swap can be useful. The zram options uses a small part of internal memory to use it as swap (which is faster then on sd-card)., but when you don't want to reserve a small part of internal ram as swap, but want to have swap space, you can use a small part of the sd-card (partition or file based). So it depends on usage. If you use a lot of apps simultaneously, swap can be useful. If you don't know, you can disable swap and see what happens.

[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Here, loud and clear:

1. Use LX-D2XT ( no need to activate anything after).

2. EXT4 should have better performance

3. No

4. Yes

Use swap, 256 Mb should be sufficient.

Have you tried to delete your Desire from wlan devices in your router? And then reboot desire and connect? Had similar situation once with Miui Xj.
[Desire Android Development] Cubbe:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for all opinions everybody gaive to me. Have installed ROM and it is perfect,lil bit different without app drawer,but it will be ok. I have one problem,when I connect phone to PC and want it in Mass Storage mode, PC recognizes mass storage,but I cant open that storage(no icon avaliable) and also cant do a safe remove of storage,this happens if ADB is turned on and off. What could be problem ???
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I guess you are running windows ? And do you have network shares/network drives on your computer ? If so, there is a bug (feature?) in windows, where usb drive get the same drive letter as the first network drive. Check the settings and select another drive letter for the drive.

See (for example): http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/14875.html

i added ssid by hand and didnt work and didnt show any item !

i tested it in all way

hidden

and even i set router to factory reset !

didnt work !
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Dude, you can change font size in system settings and browser :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have errors, look at the screenshots:

For errors displayed in status bar, it is due to long delay in Play Store (apps update).

For System IUDs Inconsistent, I encountered it twice after booting.

EDIT : Each boot encountering System IUDs Inconsistent, what should I do ? :/
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
Hai marange,

I'm done installed latest version, lennox / ammarulz just drive me crazy, it make the phone hangs, force close, slow and very laggy eventhough my sdcard is class 6. I just wanna use a2sd but when i chose it, the internal memory just still 148mb, no addition space added. Is it a2sd not work indeed? Or just me?
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
I'm using this script and it works fine. Besides installed SetCPU and overclocking Desire when screen is on. :good:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is very, very strange. I have no idea. There is no setting which could cause this. When the router is broadcasting the SSID, it should show. Only thing I can think of is something with the channel. You could try to install "Wifi Analyzer" and see if it shows some information. Otherwise a logcat and maybe it is possible to see if something is wrong there.

Sorry for your problem.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I have no idea about error 1. I update apps all the time and no problem there.

Error 2 is answered in the OP and in the thread. But I answer it again here: make a backup (I use titanium, some other people use MIUI backup) and do a factory reset. Restore backup and the IUD inconsistent problem is solved. I don't know why this sometimes happens, but it did occur in one of the updates.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is very strange. I use lx-d2x and have no problems what so ever. Other people use amarulz and have no trouble with that either. So these should work. Especially with a class 6 card. Only thing I can think of is a corruption on the SD-card. Maybe in the second partition. Btw, did you restore a backup from GB ? This is also cause a lot of trouble ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
I can back up the lennox/ammarulz does not work that well. I've tried with ext3 and ext4 partitions, between 1 and 1.5 GB, and I have a class 10 card. It's slow, lags, full of force closing. Random reboots, etc. I've even pointed this out, and someone replied that "Desire don't work well with class 10 cards".
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thank you very much. Maybe it comes from Nandroid backup, I flashed with another ROM and restored backup (always full wipe before flashing and restoring) four times. Is it okay with MIUI backup ? I remember that was source of problems with previous versions, maybe better (but boring) is to full wipe and set up again.
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
Corruption on SD-CARD? i think it is not, because it's already new. So where the EXT-4 partition should be? 2nd partition or 1st? Now is at 2nd partition.

No i didnt restore any backup.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I think that 1982Strand also uses a class 10 card without trouble. But it can be that some desires are less tolerate then others. But microshiroku uses a class 6 card and has the same issues, so I am not quiet sure it is a card issue.

Very strange. Two different class cards, but the same issues. I know for sure that it works for me with a class 6 card. I know that it works for a lot of people, so it is very strange why it does not work for you 2. The ext partition should be the 2nd partition, so that is correct. Could you both give me a logcat when a FC occurs ? So that I can see why the exception is and maybe we can figure out what is going wrong.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
If you restored an older version, maybe you went back to a version which had other UID's. I know that somewhere in the range of updates there was a UID change and it gave this error. Some people reported problems with MIUI backup and some say it works. So I don't know, but Xiaomi did tinker with MiuiBackup in the later versions, so maybe it works. No garantuees (as always ;) ).

And I noticed that you are using a class 4 SD-card. This is a slower card then a class 6, so maybe that triggers the update problem for the market ?

[Desire Android Development] someone755:
If the touch screen, WiFi, full-res camera, calls, games and texts work, why is this still beta? Because of the bugs?

I'll flash it as soon as I finish with my NAND backup :)
[Desire Android Development] ahmad4u:
Thank You Marange.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is answered before. But I will answer it again for the last time :).

The base rom is beta and Xiaomi is stil changing and adding (and sometimes breaking) stuff, how can it not be a beta ? And full-res camera is not working. Full-res camera is not working in any ICS ROM (afaik). And for me it is very stable, but there are issues ... so I will keep it a beta for as long as I think is appropriate. Doesn't mean that the ROM does not work btw ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
You're welcome. But does it work now ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] microshiroku:
u were right, sdcard was corrupt, now its work after i tried to partition using cwk partition tools.

thanks marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Ok, case solved :).

Thanks for the report,

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This doesn't look like a amarullz or another script error. It tries to do something with the database which gives an error. Now we need to figure out why the database is readonly or why the system thinks it is readonly. Could you check (with adb shell) if in the directory /data/data/com.miui.home/databases launcher.db exists ? I had a problem with an app because the app thought that the data was there and FC'ed after starting. After uninstalling, removing the home directory (in /data/data), and reinstalling the app, it worked. So an option is (after making a nand backup. Always make a nand backup), make a backup with titanium (or miuibackup), do a full wipe and delete the com.miui.home directory and reinstall. I know it is a lot of work, but maybe this will solve the problem.

Marange

ps. /data/data is stored on the sd-card I presume.
[Desire Android Development] fatcon:
Thanks Marange. I've rolled back a couple of versions to an apps to sd version just so that i'm working. I'll give your suggestion a try when i get a bit of time. Hopefully it'll work.

Correct...well at least there is a data folder on the SD Card so i'm assuming so (sorry for my limited knowledge)

Yes, it works. Many thanks. But, another issue,

When there comes in a call, I can not listen to it. The phone says,

Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.

However, I can make a call out.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Crap :(. Looks like I messed up ...

I don't know what went wrong. It worked before, maybe a problem with the latest recompile. Will look into it and reupload a working version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Crap, crap, crap ... Of the 74 extra patches, I messed up 1 :(. I missed some changes in a couple of subfiles. Looks like I never received a phone call in more the a week (thats the "problem" of having a vacation). I fixed the files and I am rebuilding the ROM. A very big apology for all the problems caused... (NOTE TO MYSELF: Need to test better :S ).

After the rebuild, I will test it and re-upload (will take an hour or so).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
Marange,

There's another specific problem.

For my needs, the langage is set to french, in past versions, it wasn't a problem, all messages from MIUI were forced in english. In 2.8.17, I get chinese characters (for example on the lockscreen date and charging messages).

Setting it to en-us is ok.

Did you change anything in that way?
[Desire Android Development] AngelsCharlie:
Hi, yeah was having this exact issue as well! Thanks for fixing it!

Awaiting your fixed version..
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Xiaomi included the English language in the default theme now, so I removed my patch (makes my life a tiny bit easier. I don't need to change my patch everytime :) ). Looks like Xiaomi made Chinese the default. I will see if I can make English the default in the theme in the next release.

Is its still based on 8.1 ROM?
[Desire Android Development] llfbandit:
Thanks, very appreciated !

Yes, still written on first page too :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, it is still based on 0.8.1. At the moment I spent my time to get all the patches in and will see later when/if I will update to 0.15.1.

Btw. Can someone tell me what the reason is why people keep asking for an update of the base ROM ? What do you think it will gain ? i did make (a complete unstable) build with BCM 4.0 as a base, but there was no gain from it. And I am working on a hybrid build (based on 0.8.1 apks and 0.15.1 bin) but that takes some more work. I am really interested in what people think it will gain (and maybe there is a very good reason to spend more time on a base update)

TO CLEAR THINGS UP A BIT:

People are allowed to ask. I don't mind (but please don't ask the same questions an rapid succession, I want to spent my time working on the ROM ;) ) But for me, I don't have unlimited time, there must be a reason to start

working on an update of the base ROM (there are more the 200 patches in, so it is a bit of work to get these all redone ). It is very annoying to start working on an update and just when you finish sandvold releases a new

update. And because I don't know everything I ask people if they have an idea/good reason why I should start working on the base update.

And stability wise, the ROM is rather stable, as long I don't mess up my patching :)

Marange
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
There is no good reason. No offence to dk, k 900, roalex etc, but everything in their Rom that is relevant is basically in evervolv anyway. Their roms are good but as a patchrom base are no better or worse. Just more hassle when changing over.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:

Barcode scanner doesn't work

Hi Marange,

Seems that the Barcode Scanner doesn't work.

As mentioned earlier in this thread one should go looking for solution in Sandvolds thread.

Well I did, and it seems that they didn't come with a fully functional solution overthere until Sandvold upgraded to version 0.7.

Since this is based on a earlier version of Sandvold's ROM I just want to know if we should expect any solution to this issue in the nearest future? Or if there's is any suitable workaround for this ROM?

Thanks anyway for a great ROM. Installed it yesterday and think it's very nice. (miss my barcode scanner though ;)
[Desire Android Development] yurimizu:
Thanks for the tips and great ROM btw. Thanks for everything :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

Yes, the barcode scanner doesn't work with the 0.5.4 base rom. I did look at the build with a 0.7 base rom, but that gives a major bootloop. But I do plan to upgrade to the 0.7 base rom when I figure out the cause of the bootloop. So at the moment I keep the 0.5.4 because that works. (My setup makes it easy to make a build for whateven version of the base rom. Only problem is the patches, because sometimes there is not a code change in MIUI the cause, but a change in the base rom code. And these are hard to find).
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Stefan,

A very, very big thank you ... very appreciated.

is camera and camcorder stable??
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Hi,

only photo mode works on camera, video is laggy and panorama doesn't work at all.

Marange, did you find out what's the problem with apk files installation ? Thanks in advance :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I am sorry, but I don't have a clue why. The only thing I can imagine what happens is the problem in the installer with cm7 and data++ hboot. I hope that with the next release and the fixed installer the problem is solved. If not I will need to look further about what happens.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
So which Hboot should I install ? :rolleyes: My current hboot is Data++.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't know which is the best, but I use stock. I just never changed HBoot, so I don't really know if the others are better. And with my mixup in the installer, it is maybe better to switch to stock. Or wait for the next version which has a fixed installer (fixed by Lenny_kano).

I am working on 0.5.11. Sadly Xiaomi changed the code again, so that the fix I made for 0.5.4 is not working anymore and I need to start again. Luckily I now know where to look and how to fix it. Hopefully that this is the only fix I need to implement.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thanks but I'll only wait if the release is soon. I'll probably switch back to Stock hboot.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
If your SD card is fast enough (class 6), stock hboot + my d2x mod will perform fine and never run out of space. Amarullz d2x leaves dalvik on internal from memory, but I didn't see the need to.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
My SD Card is a class 4 lexar 16gb. Is it enough ?
[Desire Android Development] yurimizu:
Hi marange,

I'm using stock hboot and amarullz d2x and everything seem to work fine until when I wanted to update or install apps, "not enough space in internal memory" message pop out. My storage shows total 0.94gb and about 300mb free. I found out the problem when going through titanium backup. It seem my a2sd is only 154mb. So anything can fix this problem? Or I need to change to different a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I am using this rom with Data++ hboot and pcapps2sd without noticing any problems...
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
pcapp2sd ? What is that ?
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
Hi bel57,

you can choose this option during installation, it's the first one.it moves dalvik cache and apps to sdext.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Thanks man, I didn't remember the options ;) so I choose pcapps2sd or d2x mod ?

2.8.20 (bugfix release of 2.8.17)

The is the patchrom build of MIUI v4 (ICS) 2.8.20 for the HTC Desire. It is based on:

Sandvold's ICS 0.8.1 ROM (Android 4.0.4) as a base (thanks to Sandvold)

Aroma/MIUI-Au installer (thanks to Amarullz and Lennox)

patchrom MIUI v4 2.8.17

CHANGELOG (since 2.8.17)

Incoming Call FC's. Included fix

Included Wifix in installer

CHANGELOG (since 2.8.3)

Included all the patches from 2.8.10

Included all the patches from 2.8.17

Included all patches from the MIUI sources which were not yet included

Included the 3.8.16 version of Google Play

Removed GMail (re-install from Google Play)

NOTE FOR 2.8.20

2.8.20 is a bugfix release of 2.8.17. When there are incoming phone calls 2.8.17 FC's. I messed up a patch, so I made this bugfix release. Please update to 2.8.20 as soon as possible (when running 2.8.17).

It also includes Wifix in the installer. For some people wifi was not working and that is solved by using wifix. Just select it in the installer and it will get installed automatically

NOTE FOR 2.8.17

This version includes all the changes Xiaomi made to the android sources. At least all changes which have annotations from Xiaomi. It looks stable (after a few days running), but please make a nand backup before installing (again, make always a nand backup!). I did not find any changes with the extra patches, but I have the feeling that it is a tiny bit faster. Sadly it still have the same issues then previous versions (still working on these).

Secondly I removed GMail from the rom. It was impossible to update it from Google Play. Just reinstall it from Google Play.

DOWNLOAD 2.8.17

- Thru GooManager (download from Google play)

- Use the link: http://tinyw.in/iCPp

- Using mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?41cr6r9v1m0ni11

- or use QR code:
