Offcourse its set to allow apps from unknown... waiting for your next release. Can you explain some more about the AROMA you mentioned or some link to read about it. Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Right, just taken some time to look into this.

Link2SD does not use Busybox but I cannot make it work with my ROM because it requires S-OFF. If you install my ROM on a phone with S-OFF, Link2SD will work. I cannot provide S-OFF, you currently need a clip to do that on the ChaCha.

The Busybox included with this ROM is fine, I just tested it. Sorry for any confusion.

The FriendStream apk won't install for me either, just tested that too. Looks like HTC system apps don't like being installed as normal apks. My advice would be to use Root Explorer and move the apks to /system/app. If I include AROMA in a future release, I will add a working option to install FriendStream.

Sorry about all that, hope I've cleared some stuff up now.
[HTC ChaCha] Talebs:
Still no luck with friendstream even by mounting as r/w and pushing via root explorer .. I also fix permission by long pressing apk in file list and ticking Qwner read / write and execut.
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
So FriendStream doesn't even work when you move the apks to /system/app via Root Explorer? Have you rebooted it? Tried clearing the cache and Dalvik cache?
[HTC ChaCha] Talebs:
I re-booted but didn't clear cache and dalvik ... doing it now>>>

Edit: Nope... still no show :(
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Hmm :confused:

Oh well, I'll try to implement AROMA in the next release. That will let you choose what you want included in your installation of my ROM :)

Removed the link from the OP since it isn't working.
[HTC ChaCha] KruSan:
Well, with the CM7.2 rom some threads above it's working excellent on S-On.

[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Their own FAQ says the app needs S-OFF. IDK, I can't provide support for Link2SD.
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
Hi,

I tried root uninstaller but it just uninstalls updates. i wasnt able to uninstall any apps that are

youtube

stocks

gmail

Tinfoil for Facebook

and astro....

Hexgore, thanks for the beats audio info...

can you help me removing above mentioned apps ? i really dont need any of these at all :D they are keeping my memory that's all :D

Please, feel free to ask me about testing anything on chacha... i tried almost all the roms out there and yours has just got better thanks...

after audio beats installation that i mentioned in my previous comment... i am getting FC on ringtone selection under sounds section. Can you suggest a workaround...

well good luck for your exams....
[HTC ChaCha] dront78:
Good idea for remove bloatware from good rom; )
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Install Titanium Backup to remove whatever apps you want, bear in mind they'll probably come back if you flash a newer version of the ROM though.

If you installed your own Beats stuff that's messed up, just reflash the ROM, should be no need to wipe data.

Glad you all like my ROM :)
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
That is simply weird! It worked just fine on my OEM setup. In fact, the Link2SD FAQ is wrong. It seems to imply S-ON and locked bootloader are same thing (which is NOT true). Here is what they write:
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
Hey

Titanium backup is a nice app... It worked...

Unfortunately I didn't get free space after removing the apps. :(

I think your Rom doesn't like me pinching in :D
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Link2SD works. You actually need to set the 2nd partition to ext2. I had done it previously but it had not worked for some reason. Did another set of iterations and it finally worked. Silly me.

edit- it has something to do with no ext3 support in this kernel IIRC.
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Very true, S-OFF and bootloader unlock are not the same thing, but IIRC HTC's bootloader unlock is still fairly restrictive in itself so it may be causing issues :(

Awesome you've found a workaround! :D

If it's a kernel problem there's not much I can do without including a whole new kernel in the ROM really.

Feel free to flash a new kernel and feedback with your results. If there are multiple benefits to using a certain kernel with this ROM I may include it if the developer of said kernel is okay with me doing that :)

Isn't it the case that you need S-OFF to flash new kernels though? I've read that HTC's official bootloader unlock only lets you use stock kernels, unless that's not the case for the ChaCha for some reason :confused:

The system apps are in /system/app whereas the user space for apps is at /data/app, they're separate partitions. This is true for all ROMs. You can however move your personal apps to the system partition, but to do that with Titanium Backup you need the premium version.
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Here is what I say:

- Include this little quirk in the FAQ. As long as People know what to do, its all okay

- no point changing kernels like that. I like the rock solid stability of this rom - lets keep it that way

This is a work phone for me so unlike my motorola defy which was unbelieavably mod friendly - I dont want to muck around like that.

Though if u have a ROM which allows for overclocking to 1 ghz, i'll spend a weekend trial flashing it till I find something that works!
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Will do, I'll add it to the OP now.

Good point, and let's face it there's no real kernel development for the ChaCha anyway :p
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
A custom kernel would be amazing, as that's the only thing I feel the Chacha lacks atm :P
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
did it :D

hey.... got it.... thanks man :D
[HTC ChaCha] kdskamal:
Very nice firmware. I know you must be busy in your exams right now, but can you eliminate the dialer bug in your next release? Thanks in advance and good luck.
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
Hi hexgore...

I am getting a notification for system update from HTC . Should I install it? Or it will take time to add it to new release ... Would it spoil my root and s-off ?

Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
No don't install it. It won't even install anyway because you have Clockwork recovery. Wait until Hexgore includes it in his next release. :)
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
Roger that

Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Play Store updates itself anyway. I'll add the new version in the next release anyway but there's no real reason to flash it manually on your phone.

:cyclops:
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Hey man,

Just a heads up. The rom has now become laggy over time. Esp the touchscreen input. The rest of it (apps) work okay - but the touchscreen input (weather in main screen, call log) is OFTEN laggy. need to lock/unlock screen for it to work.

Any ideas?
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
No changes I've made could cause extra lagginess. Use the memory cleaning things to wipe app caches and unused apps. As you know the phone has very limited memory.

You can also use Link2SD and move your apps to your MicroSD by using the workaround in the OP.
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Ah, i've already done all of that. The phone slows down INSPITE of that :(

Fed up of this phone honestly. Defy flies in comparison and otherwise I will go to a blackberry if this crap continues for six months like this.
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
it's working fine for me so far...

Hi Hitanshu,

It is working fine for me so far... i am using every bit of it literally http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif with my memory often getting low because of several other apps... but still it is far smoother than it was with stock and other stock based roms.... you can try factory reset your phone....

and one thing more.... try fix permissions function from ROM Manager... it fixed my lagging issues when i was using non custom roms.... like the CM based ICS rom...

Good Luck
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
What permissions to fix? Pls guide? Any links?
[HTC ChaCha] agung_gitaris86:
is this ROM suported Indonesia Language ??
[HTC ChaCha] witek_77:
should I flash boot.img by fastboot ? I have S-ON unlocked by HTC. I have ONE X and I have to flash boot.img when base is changed.
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
It should do.

Nope, the ROM is based on stock so you don't need to flash a new kernel, just install the ROM normally as described in the OP :good:
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Hey any new versions on the way, mate?

:)
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Hopefully soon, I've been meaning to keep working on the ROM but other things have kept me busy. There will be another update on the way though :cyclops:
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
I have a really silly request for which i am considering switching away from this ROM to a SuperOSR or any other.

The ringtone volume will arbitrarily by itself get reset to a low volume. Which means i miss calls on an ongoing basis. This is completely pathetic on the part of HTC to have such an arbitrary software. Has anyone else faced it?

Any workarounds?
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Under what circumstances does this happen? Are you sure it's not a hardware problem with the volume buttons on your phone?

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

BTW next release I will remap the Facebook button to Tinfoil :good:
[HTC ChaCha] basti84:
That is really crazy ... just wanted to post the exact same problem/question ...

can't really figure out what is the problem ... profile-switching?

do you use the volume-button on the side or the profile-widget?

I didn't have this problem with the stock-gb rom

perhaps the problem "located" in beats audio profile?
[HTC ChaCha] jd_dpgc:
hey....

install rom manager and check the options.....you'll know....

Please remember my requests toooo :D please.... i would love to have more free space... coz i dont wanna move away from this rom....

but I've logged your bug

:p
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Any ideas on how to incorporate the "V6 supercharger" or suchlike. I am hopeful it should sort out the lag issues (esp touch screen response) the chacha (and this ROM) occasionally suffers from. Has anyone used it? Hex my man?
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
Feel free to flash it, just do a Nandroid backup first. I'll look at implementing it in the future if it works and doesn't damage anything.
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Installed it. perceptibly quicker but the occasional lag/unresponsiveness in unlocking the home screen etc is still there. Worth the effort IMO.

12 hour update - i am kicking myself for not having done it earlier :D

/phone is 100% supercharged, whatever it means - i just followed instructions.

[HTC ChaCha] mirroalex:
guys i get system update 7.1 mb is it neccessary to update my rom? is it safe?
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Don't know about that but you can jolly well use Link2SD http://link2sd.info/

Works like a charm. Set it up for auto-linking.
[HTC ChaCha] maxpelle:
I already use it, but it seems to leave lot of data on internal memory. So i run out of space even using Link2SD...
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
That is often because of system apps.

e.g My contacts is well over 20 MB. For no darned reason - I mean, google is stupid. I don't need the display pic of every single person I have emailed, do I? Why else would 1000 contacts take 20+ MB?
[HTC ChaCha] d14b0ll0s:
Hi, first of all thanks for your work on this. I've been using your ROM for a few days now and I'm not sure why I'm getting MUCH (2-3x) worse battery life than on stock, even with CPU tuner. Would you know the reason? Which tweaks could've affected battery life the most?

Edit: The only difference in apps is that I'm using FriendCaster now, I'll have a look into it as a possible source of the problem.

Edit #2: As I have FriendCaster sync off, it doesn't seem to be the issue.
[HTC ChaCha] maxpelle:
Is there an Application for Detailed Memory Use to investigate more on real memory usage?

I suspect that not only contacts and sms/mms/email are wasting space on my internal memory.

ALL apps are on sd card via App2sd and Link2sd method.

question

is there spanish in this?

second htere is a bug that cant change xt9 to spanish only in EN and i need to change it and there is no way in the oem rom

third, i see still a lot of aps that we can live without, what do you say is we vote for the ones that we cant live without and keep them in the rom

we can use titanium backup to eliminate them right?

is radio working? thanks

this is a good device but it has a lot of garbage that we never use
[HTC ChaCha] elbatross:
I installed this rom on my girlfriends Phone. We notice a battery drain with the same apps installed as before. Any sollutions?
[HTC ChaCha] d14b0ll0s:
Same on mine, battery dies twice faster. Nobody answered to my post so far.
[HTC ChaCha] Hexgore:
If your battery dies faster, remember to turn off the sensor related options in the phone settings since that's often the culprit. For me and many others it has increased battery life, and many of the background processes in the stock ROMs are simply not present in Stock Plus.

elmanortega, yes, it includes Spanish.
[HTC ChaCha] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks for this and for your ROM, but in sensor settings everything apart from the first one (reduce on pick-up) was off, I've switched this one off too now and will see, but I doubt that the one supposed only for the phone ringing occurences could drain the battery so much faster all the time (why would it, if it didn't do so on stock). I'll post any news, if it does, however, would be a nice solution.
[HTC ChaCha] TH3KiD:
Can you insert the "F" button function again? or tell me how can I to mine.
[HTC ChaCha] DearestLeader:
Pretty good rom

I have found your rom to be quite nice ... the ad blocking nearly all the time (Angry Birds Space paid version still shows ads, and there are some banner ads on only a few websites) and has been working pretty smoothly. In the next build I suggest adding an option for the U.S. (AT&T's version of HTC Status) keyboard layout, and the Canadian layout, if different (Telus' HTC Status). Also, the basic music player oddly does not allow me to set notification sounds, as the stock version included with AT&T's version (otherwise exactly the same). If anyone knows of a good way to set notification sounds (not just the ones that come with the phone), that is better than the system settings or default music player, please post!

For a real challenge, maybe you could try adding the modified for Arm 6 versions of Adobe Flash 10 or 11, with a proper way to change settings? I have modified Adobe Flash 11 on my phone (install it as soon as you have installed your rom, and cleaned out the cache ... trying to put it in later will do nothing, from my experience. Also, don't bind the app to the internal rom with Apps 2 Rom, or it won't work) but to change settings, you get your browser taken to a website that won't display properly on Dolphin or Boat. I understand now why HTC and Adobe did not include support for Adobe Flash ... the only way to get a good frame rate streaming in browser is to set it at the lowest resolution, 260p or something like that. Youtube embedded videos thankfully allow you to change settings in the viewing window. Streaming videos without this option will be too choppy.

You have to unlock bootloader using HTCdev.com, root and install custom recovery first. Search through forum for detailed instructions how to do that.

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't need S-OFF. My phone isn't S-OFF.

S-OFF is needed for radio flashing for example.

SOLUTION 4 LINK2SD PROBLEM

Backup your sdcard!

Format / re-partition with CWM, then after doing so manually forrmat (optional but safer) the /sdext partition using mke2fs via Android Terminal Emulator:

su

umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Link2SD works better with ex2 file system.

Wi-Fi Open Hotspots problem

While not much of an issue in my city, there are a few places (and an awful lot in Vegas) where

Not an instance of a web page coming up asking you to agree to a TOS (like Panera Bread stores). I do not know if the issue is with this rom, the original Google coding, or the hotspots ...

Hey everybody,

I just installed this rom for my sister's HTC Status on Telus. For those of a you having difficulties with the Link2SD, this is what I did.

After installing the rom I removed the sd card, download Mini Tool Partition Wizard Home edition. I deleted the partitions on the SD card, then created a new Fat32 one that was the size of my SD card minus 1gb. Make sure you change where it says Logical and make it Primary. Then I created another partition on the empty space, size was 1gb and it was in the ext2 format. Once again, make this Primary, not logical.

Then I stuck it in the phone, downloaded the Link2SD app, picked my partition as ext2, and it asked me something about doing a quick restart or a link to the mount. I did the mount link, restarted the phone again, and blamo. All is well.

Even though it's not supported anymore, thanks again for this little rom, it helped clean up a lot of stuff and make my sister's phone usable
