maybe it depends on some aroma choices? what did you choose?

lx-d2x

ext4

linux swap

shaky kernel

ad-free hosts

aGPS patch

data++ hboot
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
ZaLiTH, what aroma settings do you have?, while I have no hard problems at all with my config, which is:

lx-d2x

ext4

linux swap

shaky kernel with lagfree governer

ad-free hosts

stock hboot

I was one who had in the begin of the rom problems with wifi, which where that while I have a static ip, those settings where not stored.

Do you have a static or dynamic ip, and in my case when I set the static ip info, it takes about 30-60 seconds before any connection is made. This happens only after installing a clean setup of the rom, with updating there is no problem.

But after all strange thing that wifi can cause a bootloop or only getting into fastboot, never heard of that.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Soronk,

I have almost the same settings. Only I use ext3, but the rest is the same.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Only thing I could think of, is a corrupted ROM/problems on the SD card. But maybe there is something wrong in the installer, so a log can be very useful. Please upload.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
thx for your fast reply! maybe i have too many bad blocks. but with stock hboot wifi works... straaange :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Oops. Sorry missed the line about data++ hboot. I am on stock. Maybe wifi only works on stock ? I looked at the sandvold website, but cannot find if the sandvold base is stock only.

I don't know why the hboot should matter for wifi. Maybe someone knows.

[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Sometimes the /system partition is very close to be full, so some users report problems and others don't. This happen to me when using Alex-V ROM; sometimes it doesnt boot, and sometimes it booted but with some errors, until I delete a few apps and sounds I didnt use.

Maybe you should check if your /system partition is full, or nearly full, then delete some unimportant things form the zip (like sounds or useless apps) and try again.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Ok, so I used 4EXT to check my FAT32 and EXT3 partitions for errors before starting this, and it also says that both partitions are perfectly aligned. I don't have a memory card reader here at home, so the best I can do is either in recovery or through ADB / fastboot commands.

The md5sum matches the file I downloaded perfectly: 17ae4e3e37d6a2c2f233ecc9ac50848e

The installation I tried without wiping anything first seems to try boot into old ROM (shows old ROM's boot animation), but the animation stops after about 5 minutes. I tried leaving it for about 10 minutes after it stopped, but nothing else happened. I then tried 'Wipe cache and dalvik-cache, but the same thing happened.

Then I tried 'wipe data/factory reset' (which formats /data, /cache, /sd-ext and /sdcard/.android-secure), after installing it boots straight into fastboot again.

This might be helpful, or maybe just interesting, but when I check the 'Info' option on 4EXT, it shows the system partition has exactly 0.0MiB free space with MIUI-0.1.8-2.6.8 installed. In the 4EXT thread, mattman83 said that could be causing a problem (post link), but I have no idea what to do about it.

Settings I used each time:

Installation Type: Standard

Data Switching Method: PC-A2SD

SD-EXT: EXT3

OTA Recovery Binary: ClockworkMod

Swap Method: On SD-EXT

Kernel: Stock kernel

The installation log file is attached. :) Really hope it helps figure this out... I got a small taste of MIUI V4 and now I want more. Lol.

This should not happen. Which hboot do you use ? And could you try to select "LX-D2X by Lennox". This will give some more space.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
snipped quote

Wow.. That looks scary. The only hboots I know of for the Desire are the ones from Alpharev.nl, currently I've got the Sense hboot. I was using the CM7r2 hboot previously, but the 145MB system partition was too small for ICS.

I'm trying again now with LX-D2X, I'll post back shortly with the results.

Edit: Hmmm... Had a temporary brain spasm there. I meant the 100MB system partition...

Anyway, using LX-D2X is looks a tiny bit better, but the system partition still shows 0.0MiB free afterwards, and I still get quite a few "Out of memory" errors:

wrote boot partition

Also, before the kernel block in the log, there's a whole bunch of lines like:

symlink: failed to symlink /system/bin/[foldername] to /system/xbin/[foldername]: Out of memory

What hboot would you recommend I use then? Maybe I should try the stock hboot instead? It's set up for a 250MB system partition..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'd say 99% is a matter of /system space. I write madmaxx82 an email and he told me that the writing process in system is not always exactly the same, so there can be a (little) difference in the space used by a ROM. So I suggest you to do what I said: delete some sounds in /system/media/audio (all but one in each category) and any apk in /system/app you don't use and try flashing again, it should work ;)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Success! System has 59.6MiB free, and my 780MiB sd-ext partition has more than enough space to last me a while. :)

That might actually be an idea, I don't even like most of the sound files that come with Android.

But, since it's now working, I think I'll leave it as-is for the moment.. I'll play with modifying the installation ZIP another time.

Sorry l0minus, I missed your post.. It wasn't the wifi problem causing the boot problem, but from me trying to reinstall the ROM countless times with different option to try get the wifi working, I think I broke something causing the boot to fail.

Big thanks to everybody that helped me out, I really appreciate it. :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Glad that it worked in the end. How did you fix it ? Switched to stock hboot ?

And does wifi work now ? If it works now, it could be a memory issue. Someone on data++ hboot reported that wifi did also not work for him, but after deselecting the dictionary it worked. So I get more and more the idea that the wifi issues are related to memory issues.

Marange

ps. And now waiting for the post where someone tells us that wifi works on cm7 hboot ;).
[Desire Android Development] sensory:
Sorry to be a bother, but has anyone found a way to paste or copy text using this ROM? The pop-up box that's meant to contain copy or paste functionality is blank.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
This is a problem with one of my patches. Sorry about that. I missed it when I tested the patches. I never thought about the missing menu. But I found the problem in the patch tonight and fixed it for the next release.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Yeah, switched to the Stock hboot. It has a 250MB system partition, with a fres install of your ROM it has 59MB free.. So that means it's currently using 191MB, which might explain why I was having problems with the Data+ and Sense hboots; they only allocate 180MB to system.

I can only test wifi again tomorrow morning when I get back to work, my ADSL router at home doesn't have wireless. :) But I'll let you know in about 8 hours' time if I get it working or not.
[Desire Android Development] sensory:
Brilliant, I'll keep an eye out for the next release. Thank you for the quick response :)
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Reboot solved the problem. But I always have to activate datas after portable WLAN hotspot activation. Is there any way to bring USB tethering back ? :confused: I noticed bluetooth tethering but did not tested it yet.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Considering this ROM is based on Sandvold's ICS for Desire, and that on Sandvold's thread he says USB Tethering is currently not working... I suspect we might have to wait a while longer for that. :)
[Desire Android Development] philocritus:
It will be fixed soon. BCM already fixed in his rom and Sandvold will include it on his next release :)
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
So it seems the lack of space on my system partition was causing more problems than I thought... Since sorting that out yesterday, the whole thing is running even faster and this morning at work, Wifi connected without any issue at all. :)
[Desire Android Development] pipo1000:
I am on alpharev sense too..so that is why I have the same strange wifi problems! ;-)
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
Wifi problems are long known to be caused by running out of space (as are many other things)

That's the problem with too many different hboots and aroma options, there ll always be issues if the worst case scenario isn't taken into account when making the script (which is a p.i.t.a to do). Unfortunately.

People who insist on using non standard hboot must be prepared for the inevitable issues.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
You mean Data++ hboot ? Do I have to flash stock hboot ? The problem of WLAN portable hotspot turning off as soon as datas are activated is very strange and annoying :what:
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I suspect this would apply to pretty much all versions of this ROM, but the first post does state:

Any time something is configured differently to how it was originally intended to work, there's always a greater risk of something going wrong. We all know this, or at least, we were all warned about it in the threads that helped us get root, S-OFF, custom hboots, etc etc...

If anything, I'd say when I try something different or unusual and it doesn't work, I don't get annoyed or irritated with the developer who "didn't make it work properly", I instead provide as much info as I can and see if we can find a solution.

Keep in mind we're playing around with a version of Android that HTC and Google never intended to run on the Desire, so I'd say what we do have working properly far out-weighs the problems we run into.. :)

As for the WiFi story, after making sure my system partition had enough space for this ROM, I've had no problems with my Wifi at all.
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Agree :D

I don't have any problem with Wi-Fi, just WLAN portable hotspot which works fine first time. Once deactivated, if I want to turn it on, it messes up with datas :confused: I am obliged to reboot in order to do it working again. Each time. :(
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
@all

Sorry this is a bit off topic, just wanted to say ive purchased a mi-one and will no longer be doing much in regards to the desire. Ive given marange open invitation to email any time he has a problem i might be able to help with, but other than that ive done as much as i can/will development wise. Will still drop in from time to time to help bug fix / answer questions.

Thanks to all previous users of miui-au, and hope my contribution to miui v4 on the desire has been useful.

And a big thank you to marange for stepping in when i had to stop, and for doing an awesome job with patchrom, and hope everyone supports him and continues to use the best android rom: D

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] bel57:
Many thanks for your work, Lenny :) Lucky you, enjoy your new device :D

I enabled A2SD+ and moved the apps to the sd-ext partition. After a nandroid backup I reinstalled the 'stock' AlphaRev HBOOT and restored the backup. So my stock MIUI 2.3.14 is now working on a stock HBOOT without memory issues. I will wait for the next release of MIUI v4 to try again!
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
I know it is not polite to ask for a release date but you mentioned some fixes that I need and I tested your rom a few weeks ago and I love it.

so do you make more improvements or do you release the fixed version soon? Thank you!

I hope to make a 2.6.15 release, but if that takes to much time/gives to much trouble, I will make an 2.6.8 update release. But it will take a few days, so a little patience please :).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
ok thank you very much, i just wanted to know if it is within a week or two or later :)
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
So here is the german Version of the 2.6.8!

It's a full ROM not a language Pack!

I have copied the most of the german resources to the original APK's - that means most of the APK's are translated. Only a few - where I had Problems with compiling (e.g the frameworks, miuiCompass) - are not translated.

I'm still waiting for the language Pack - when it comes I will update this version!

Changelog(differences to the original):

Most APK's translated

NetworkAssistant.Apk from 2.6.1 (I had some issues with the 2.6.8 )

removed QuickSearch.apk (It doesn't work for me)

new Lockscreen with animated weather

2 new options in the Aroma-installer: now you can install GenieWidget to get the animations in the Lockscreen work and you can make some system Apps uninstallable (I don't want all of them)

For people who don't use A2SD please don't select the option for making system Apps uninstallable, or you will loose some Apps (I'm working on a solution)

Download: Click here!!!

Thank you Marange for your help with the Aroma-installer!!!

"Installer problems fixed", does that mean adhoc wifi works now?
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
Hi Marange, I need your help~

can you make a SuperMarket.apk for me?

there are two files(SuperMarket.apk and SuperMarket.odex) in the MIUI ROM, I don't know how to get it out and successfully install.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
No, sadly not. The installer problem was that for new users the install went wrong. So that there was a non functional ROM.

I am still looking into the adhoc problem, but I have no clue where the problem is. And I cannot test it, so that makes it a bit difficult. When I look at the sandvold ROM the only thing that happens is, that a certain file is copied over in the installer. I do the same and for sandvold it works and for my ROM it doesn't. So that is a bit strange.

Can you tell me your setup/installer options ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, SuperMarket is removed to make room. But I can imagine that for you it is useful. Eh ... do you have access to the SuperMarket.apk ? If you unzip the ROM and copy the file to /system/app and rezip the file, it should install without a problem. Just make sure the keep the structure of the ROM the same.

I shall see if I can include it as an option in the next release.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
The apk wont work from the odexed rom. Grab the supermarket apk from patchrom github and push to system it will work.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Oops. Yes, you'll need the correct apk of course.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] raha0007:
I will do that later or I will have to try remember by heart.

I tried to make myself a flashable zip file with the wpa suplicant from the sandvold ICS rom only.

But my knowledge is not great enough to make a zip file that works in CWM.

And it would be the same you did anyways, maybe it doesnt work with MIUI
[Desire Android Development] jerrylin612:
thanks~it is useful for me.:p
[Desire Android Development] RalleGer:
Hey,

(ich schreibe mal auf englisch wegen Forenregeln...)

Thx for the language Pack. Just switched to latest 2.6.8 release...very very good especially on shaky kernel and latest adrenos..

BUT: I dont have german language pack on my keyboard, so no correction of words with t9 :(( only my user dict seems to be available...any ideas??
[Desire Android Development] lanc3lot:
So i can dl 2.6.8 and install it, or its not a full rom?

Thnx in advance!
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
You can download it in the first Post, it is a FULL-ROM.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Yes, you can download it and install it. It is always a full rom. Please make a nand backup before installing, just in case and it works best with stock hboot.

Marange

ps. I hope to release a 2.6.15 release in the next few days, depending on problems I find.

Installation fails on Sense & Data++ Hboots

Hi guys,

I just want to confirm that the installation fails completely on Data++ (with no option to produce the log file, since the installer just exits back to Recovery on it's own), and on Sense the installation SEEMS to complete, but google core services fail immediately on start-up, with the rest of the Apps refusing to start.

I only managed to get it to run on Stock HBoot, and I have noticed that the /System has around 59.9MBs free, while the System partition is 250MB, which means that the ROM is taking over 180MB. Could be the reason why the installation fails on Data++ and Sense.

Other than that, this ROM is amazing. Thanks for the hard work Marange. Being a developer, I can only admire your dedication in providing a free work-of-art ROM and maintaining. Keep it up! :)
[Desire Android Development] mikep99:
@DaExstrim.

Yes, I think you're right.

I'm running a sense hboot and when I installed the rom, couldn't get wifi to work. I just deleted unwanted apps,fonts etc from the zip totalling 15mb and reinstalled.

I have 7mb left in /system now and everything is working great :)
[Desire Android Development] gajodafeira:
Guys, in the GB Miui you have to activate a2sd in terminal emulator... In this rom, how i do that?
[Desire Android Development] ph87:
In this build you have a touch installer - there choose the option Custom-installation. Now you can choose the kind of A2SD you want... I will recommend the LX-D2X. It will do all things automaticly, you don't have to activate it in the terminal!
[Desire Android Development] GingaB:
Oh darn! I have a custom hboot done by myself. Will this work or am I wasting my time downloading this rom?
[Desire Android Development] garreh:
Looking at your signature your /system 110mb partition won't be big enough to fit the ROM, so it will likely fail during install. The ROM uses about 180-200MB. The HTC stock hboot has 250MB reserved for the /system partition and works fine.

Marange, maybe it would be worthwile mentioning this in bold under requirements? The message there at the moment is a bit misleading:
[Desire Android Development] RalleGer:
Market Space issue

Hi marange,

still with 2.6.8 I got that market space issue.

Got amarullz with 1.2 GB and aprox. 900 MB free right now.

But if I want to download an app through Google Play i get an error "Not enough Space".

I attach a logcat of this issue.

Hope there is some help..

thx
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

What HBOOT do you use ? And what are your settings ? I notice in your logcat

the following problem:

space in the filesystem rooted at: /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache is below 10% availability

So something is fishy here. Somewhere in the thread there is a list of commands to run to check the size of memory (by Lenny_Kano). Could you please give me the output ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
It looks like I have a problem with smaller HBOOTS. I don't know why, but I need to look into this.

And thanks for the hint, I changed the requirements.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I don't know where the extra memory requirements come from :(. Something is getting a bit to big. I will see if I can get the size down a bit. But for the moment it looks like stock HBOOT is the only one working.

And thanks for the kind words.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] GingaB:
Surely it shouldnt be a problem cos I used to whittle down the size of the rom on GB MIUI so it fitted into my system partition. My question is whether my custom hboot will allow this rom to play nicely or not??
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Just like garreh said. It will be a problem. 110Mb is not enough for ICS. It the moment it works best with Stock HBOOT and I am looking into the installer to get it work work nicely with Data++ and CM7. CM7 is the smallest and still around 145Mb.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Tester(s) with Data++ and CM7 Hboot needed

Hi,

I changed the installer to see if I can get the data++ and cm7 problems solved. I have a version ready with the new installer settings, but I need some testers to see if the solution works (the installer moves some stuff over to the SD-card now).

Please PM me if you like to test the 2.6.15 version with data++ or cm7, so that I can PM you a link.

I do need testers who can issue the following commands on the shell on the phone/terminal:

df

cd /data

du -d 1

cd /sd-ext

du -d 1

Marange

ps. Do NOT PM me for the link with STOCK Hboot. Or for a pre-release. I will release the version when I fixed the data++/cm7 problems!

Sounds like the BSOD (black screen of death). This is a known problem and has something to do with the CPU governor set to ondemand. Try getting "No Frills CPU" from the Play store and setting it to smartassv2.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi,

This is called a "black screen of death". It is a problem with the ICS kernel/ondemand governor. Change it to another governor with No-frills CPU Control or another app which lets you change the governor.

EDIT: Thanks to garreh for posting the same information.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
No, this is set in the installer. Select custom install and select the corresponding option. LX-D2X has the best effect in the ROM.
