Hi,

Yes, some of the problems are related on the used sandvold base. And some related on MIUI issues (Xiaomi is still working on it). And of course I messed up some of the patches.

And at the moment I am looking at updating the base. But it is not easy. There are a lot of changes in the base which patchrom cannot patch, so I need to do that manually, and some spots in the code are giving me a hard time. I also noticed that the sandvold and the BCM builds are not that different, so both a giving me the same trouble. So it will take me a lot of time to get it working.

What I now try to do now, is get a hybrid version working. I am using the 0.15.0.1 as a base, but use the 0.8.1 framework. Does not work out of the box, so I need to do some patch of the 0.8.1 framework to get it to work on the 0.15.0.1 base. I don't know if this leads to something, but it is a good exercise ;). But if it works, it will give me some more time to look at a 0.15.0.1 base build and it will give me some knowledge what some of the changes in the 0.15.0.1 code does.

hi marange

My "vanishing keyboard appaears in text area

to answer yr questionsn, yes i did a full wipe (data + dalvik + factory reset) before installing. I have an Ext4 partition.

Yes I had the same feature in one of yr previous version and never tried another kb app such as touchpal)

thks & rgds
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very strange. I never had this. I have no clue what is causing this. It looks like the phone thinks that a long key press in the textview occurred. Maybe someone else here on the forum has an idea ?

Hello, great work on the ROM, I really like it.

There are however some issues which I'd like to report.

My setup is this:

Of course a Desire, PVT3 S-OFF.

Stock hboot.

Transcend 8GB class 10 card with 1.5GB ext4 and additional 256MB of swap.

Setting I used during the setup process are Lennox modified script for a2sd, that move to swap option, Shaky's kernel.

From time to time, I get force closes, like with facebook, twitter, battery calibration won't even start and stuff like that.

If there any solution for my predicament?

Cheers, and once again, thanks for keeping Desire alive.

CallRecorder App

Sorry to reply to my own message but just in case anyone else is using "CallRecorder", I'm happy to report that I have got it working again.

The solution was quite simple. The permissions were not correctly set. Initially it didn't occur to me to check this as the application gave no errors in this regard - nor did it prompt me for permission - like other apps do.

Anyway I used "Permission Manager", which gives you fine control over an apps permission settings, and you guessed it, CallRecorder was not correctly set. I'm happy to say it is now working fine again.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I've seen a few reports that the Desire does not like class 10 cards. If you can, I'd suggest you downgrade to a class 6 card.
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
Thanks man, I'll see what I can do about it ;)
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
Hello Marange, then I have tried both the Sandvold 0.15.0.1 are BCM 9 4.2.1 are both very good rom, but I think BCM is running as fast as the general of the rom ... but for me to upgrade to a latest rom you gotta take your time :) ... it's better to skip a release, but to have something new and better base Sandvold 0.8.1 .. :) you are a great modders good :)

Thanks Marange :)
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
I have also a class 10 card. Installing apps2sd instead of Lennox script did the job for me...

No more fc's:D
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
Thanks, will try that later.

Does anybody else have problems with GPS?

I can't seem to get a lock-on, and every now and then I have to reset the AGPS data with GPS Status.
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
As a reply to several posts here..

Sorry for posting this again, but guess it is still useful..

With the following setup, i experince NO reboots, stable rom and smooth UI, no FC's and decent battery life:

Installation by doing full wipe of EVERYTHING except fat32 partition, flashing rom, then restoring apps + settings with MIUI backup.

Stock HBOOT, latest 4ext recovery

16GB Class 10 Kingston SD with Fat32 + 1GB ext3 partition - no swap.

LX-D2X

Shakys kernel

No swap

"normal" dhcp

aGPS patch

Supercharger script

No Frills cpu - Governor: Smartassv2. Scheduler: noop. frequencies: 384min/998max

GPS works great, never had faster lock on than with this rom+patch. Navigation with google maps or Navigon works flawlessly.

Music is fine

Data/Wifi + Wifi tethering is fine

Ringtones/volumes is fine

LED working correct

Only thing left is for MIUI to get those darn emojis back in the mms app :D

(And the mysterious Gallery Reboot..)
[Desire Android Development] gajodafeira:
Unfortunately, i downgraded MIUI GB. Your ROM is amazing but the battery lasts 1/2 than in MIUI GB, sometimes the phone powers off alone, and the problems that i reported before. I'm noob so i can't give you a logcat :(
[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
I figured out the FC and got it patched, hopefully Marange can make it into the next build ;)

Although he must be the most busy man on xda, so we must show a little patience :D

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

It works fine here. What exactly happens? FC? not restoring? Probably due to the superuser issue, which is fixed...

Miui issue - they fixed it in 2.7.6

Led notifications work just fine. it was related to permissions of Gmail app, but patching the AndroidManifest.xml fixes this (Lenny posted a link to the solution earlier), along with the superuser app fix.

:D
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
Mine is working flawlessly with a Class 10 card.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Sadly a new base will not mean skip a release, but several releases. The changes is code are in some places massive and I don't know what they are doing. If I look at the ICS code (included with patchrom and used to diff MIUI against), the changes mean I need to repatch a lot. So it will take some time and I will take that time. In the mean time I will keep the current build up to date and try to get my hybrid build working (which also gives me some trouble, because it keeps rebooting :( ). So I am working on it and we will see what I get out in the end :D.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
Marange take your time, when you find the time is there to patch the newest base rom, everybody needs to wait, it is as simple as that.

I know it cost you a lot of time and braincrashes and the rom as it is now is perfectly for daily use (I use it for business also)

The few bugs and sometimes a fc doesn't matter just take a backup regularry.

About my setup; it is almost the same as 1985strand just i have a 8Gb card class 10, the govener lagfree and io noop.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Hey Marange.. The way I see it, this is your ROM, what goes into it and what doesn't is your choice, and it's us that get the benefit of your hard work. As far as I'm concerned, if someone doesn't like your ROM the way you make it, nobody here will stop them from going to find another one that better suits their taste.

We can make suggestions and/or requests, but at the end of the day, you get to decide what to do about it. I've used the last couple versions and I've been very impressed with it. So, I for one am more than happy to follow it and use it with whatever upgrades you decide to do. :)
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the kind words.

Of course I decide what I am going to do. And I will not rush into anything. The main thing is a stable ROM. That is important, much more then extra features or a little speed gain. I tinker with it, because I like to do it and I learn a bit about it.

I post about what I am thinking to do and/or playing with to give people the opportunity to give suggestions or make requests. And ... don't forget ... it just for fun ... ;).

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ale8530:
Indeed Marange take your time and above all do what we think we should ... you're a big developers :) :)
[Desire Android Development] MidnightDevil:
IMHO opinion...we should wait for at least a more stable and above all bug free release of ICS... there are issues that are hard to distinguish if its from MIUI or ICS base.
[Desire Android Development] lenny_kano:
If you mean in base Rom, no it isn't (still happened on 2.7.6 for m1)

If you've found the problem, good work. If not, its one string being encoded with %1$d when it should be %1$s. Forget which one, but its correct in the Chinese strings. If you've already fixed, ignore this post.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi Lenny,

You are right, that it is not fixed in the base rom. But I fixed it in my build. This was a simple one ...

Any suggestions?

[Desire Android Development] ph87:
If you're using a Desire HD I would not try this ROM it wouldn't work...

If you're not... which Recovery do you use? AmonRa based Recoverys do not support the TouchScreen! In that case you have to install it by using the Joystick!

Strand1982 mailed me the following:

"...gps not working or google maps not being able to find their position, it's probably because of the NetworkLocation.apk, which changed since 2.6.22. Don't know what MIUI did with it, but they messed it up somehow.. The one from 2.6.15 still works"

Can someone confirm the GPS worked in the 2.6.15 ? I will look at the changes of both versions and see what they changed, but I don't know if I find something.

Marange.
[Desire Android Development] marange:
I know that this is an issue where xiaomi is tinkering with to get it right. So only thing I can think of is that it is an MIUI issue and hopefully it is fixed soon.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
It's actually part of the MIUI ROM, not an additional app. If you go to Settings > Complete Settings > Status Bar, you'll see an option at the very bottom called "Show Flow Info". It shows current data usage and (if set) the current monthly data limit.
[Desire Android Development] l0minus:
Confirmed, that it doesn`t work in 2.6.22, gps and network based location service (I`m using that for weather apps). In 2.6.15 I believed it worked fine, at least I didn`t got any notification then that the location couldn`t be established.

Well... you fixed su problem by skipping su?

Full wiped of course and permission manager is missing and superuser for that matter.
[Desire Android Development] pushu.x:
Hy Marange,

Was a full wipe required to fix theme app FC and permission FC?

I did on cache and dalvik wipe + fix permissions and then a flash over and still get a FC on theme app. And titanium still FCs.

Sorry but I'm just a bit :confused:.

Rgds.

[Desire Android Development] yusdi:
Settings ,statusbar ,settings, scroll down the bottom ands its called show flow info
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Nope. Would be not a real fix, don't you think ? ;).

Seriously. I just checked and the LBESEC_MIUI.apk (permissions) is still there, and it has the fix in the resources, so it should not give any trouble anymore. It does not FC with me anymore.

And Superuser is not part of MIUI, if I am correct. Or do you mean the su binary ? Which is also there in the /system/xbin directory.

Don't got a clue why you are missing the Permissions app.

Marange

ps. Wipe was not needed in updating to 2.7.6
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Found it already and fixed it :).
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Very strange. The fix in permissions is included. Wipe was not needed in this update (should not give any problem if people do wipe, but I did not and don't have any problem). Also the fix for the Theme manager is also included. I checked and did also do a last build before upload to make sure I did not forget to include the latest fixes. Very strange. Could you give me a logcat ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
If people still have trouble with permissions and theme manager. Please upload a logcat and I will see what is going wrong. I included both patches which should solve the problem. But maybe there were multiple issues and I did not tackle all of them.

Thanks.

[Desire Android Development] Reb0rn:
Well I fixed my issue by installing SuperSU.zip... it was like its lacking an actuall superuser manager... LBESEC_MIUI.APK is there so... weird.

Hey!

How do i change the SuperUser permissions?

I updated to 2.7.6 last night and a message from No-frills CPU Control comes up on boot saying "Error: Did you allow SuperUser permissions?" and it won't change the governor.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] pushu.x:
Hy there,

I have 15 Mb free out of 145. I'm cm7r2 Hboot partition.

Hope it helps.

Rgds.

Pushu.X
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
That depends on the options you select during the install, I'm using the Stock hboot (250mb /system partition), during the install I selected to only move apps and data to the SD-EXT (I think it's the Lennox-A2SD, can't remember now). Looking at Titanium Backup info, I have 75MB free out of 262MB, so mine is using 187MB on /system.

As you can see from pushu.x's comment above, you can get it running with a smaller /system partition.. But you'll need to use a different A2SD/D2SD option to move more data to the SD-EXT.

Either way, you do definitely need an EXT3 or EXT4 partition on the SD card to fit this ROM. It can be as small as 500MB (if the SD isn't that big), but 1GB would be safer in the long run. Hope that helps. :)

Edit: Also keep in mind I do already have numerous applications installed on my device, a fresh install would probably use a little bit less space. There have been improvements to the A2SD side of things since then, but back when I started using this ROM, I was trying to use the Data++ hboot and I was having problems trying to fit things properly onto a 180MB /system partition.

[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
What version of the ROM are you using? There was an issue with the Permissions app in the previous two versions (.29 and .29-2), but that's been fixed in the latest (2.7.6). If you're on an older version, I'd suggest you update and check that again. :)

Just a thought, but it might be more helpful to link to the post that has the attachment instead.. I for one don't like blind download links, I prefer to know what I'm downloading before I download it. But if it is the Permissions issue I'm thinking of, simply updating the ROM will also fix it.

permission problem

hi guys

i installed latest verion V.2.7.6 beta today,i installed custom version,maye be some kenrnel has problems

mine is shaky

and now i found out that wifi doesnt word as well !!!
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Wifi works just fine for me on the same version, had wifi enabled all day at work today without any problems, and I'm also using Shaky's kernel at the moment... :/

In that case, perhaps a full wipe and re-flash might help? Out of curiosity, did you select any of the extra options during the install (from the same list that starts with "ad-free hosts" selected and the rest not selected)?
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Thanks for the answer to GingaB.

The option ZaLiTH mentioned it the LX-D2X option. Make sure you'll have an EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4 partition to use the ROM. There is just not enough room in the desire. And I think I fixed the installer, so that cm7 and data++ (and equivalents) works now also. Play a bit with the sd-ext options, or ask here what works best for people running a certain HBOOT. I use stock and LX-D2X and that works nicely.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] marange:
The language packs are donated by other people who are kind to share it with us. It is not something I control, so sometimes you'll need to wait a little until the person who make it, gets a new version out. But don't try to install another version language pack over the rom. This will basically never work. Xiaomi is changing a lot in the framework ...

Marange
[Desire Android Development] fede-emil:
Just a update on the issue:

It seems to be a issue with the sd-ext partition. I was tryin to re-partition my SDcard with Gparted but none of my partition showed up, even though I could see that i had less space on the card. And I've had the partitions for a long time now, so i think it's wierd they suddently disappear.

So what I did was replacing my 16GB SDcard with a 4GB ( :crying: ), and the "does not respond"-issue i had on my phone does not appear any longer. Which is good, but i would definitely have my 16GB SDcard back.

Does any one know how to recover the lost/hidden partitions or do a complete formatting? I tried using TestDisk without any luck.

You need the language pack for the right version. 1982Strand usually uploads the updated Danish language pack a few days after a new ROM version becomes avaible.

So all we can do is be patient. :cowboy:
[Desire Android Development] marange:
Kernel hasn't changed in some time. Did you update over a previous version, or installed from scratch ? And wifi should work without trouble. I use the 2.7.6 for several days and no problem. Could you please do a full wipe and retry ?

Marange
[Desire Android Development] pushu.x:
Hy there,

I'm on shaky's kernel as well and have no issues using wifi what-so-ever. It works just fine for me.

Try getting a logcat and post it so that Marange can have a look at it or any other that knows a thing or two.

I had only once problems with wifi but just wiped cache and dalvik and re-flashed the ROM and that did the trick... not saying that it will work for you but it's a possibility.;)

Rgds.

[Desire Android Development] marange:
Hi fede-emil,

I am sorry to hear that you have a problem with your SD-card. Strange thing is that the partition should be there. Otherwise the ROM would not have booted (it does try to mount the partition, if this fails it will, I imagine, bootloop). But of course it could be a corruption on the partition (had one before, but I was lucky that I could reformat). I hope someone where has a suggestion which will solve your problem.

Marange
[Desire Android Development] cmajetic:
there is no issue with the su application, the app is missing completely in 2.7.6, so no superuser management in this version since you don't install a custom superuser application like the one from chainfire. All older versions had a miui superuser application.

installation after 3 full wipes to get sure everything is wiped completely.
