I recently updated to 4.1.1 using official images and I installed all provided radio,recovery,system images.

Does this mean there is no other patch/update/image that could update just the driver for rotation sensor for example? I seen Google also provides some "binaries" for orientation sensor and GSM, etc, these are not updates, right?

These are just source codes and if I installed the official images then I am up to date with all drivers/radios/patches/images ?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vBurak:
Hello,

I installed on my Desire with STOCK HBOOT Sandvold ICS in the Version 0.17.1.1. I choosed stock a2sd in the installation and active in terminal a2sd install. Then I restored my apps by Mybackup Root. I have now the problem if I want to install a app from the market I get the error message "No Disk space available" (or something like that, I'm using German language).

I have a 512mb ext4 partition and activate a2sd in Terminal. I searched the topic for problems like that and found that I have to install mount2sd. I did this, but it didn't help either.

What should I do now? I haven't enough posts to post in the sandvold ics topic.

Greets,

Burak

If you can live with slower perfomance, active the stock a2sd again with answers: y, y ,y
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
I had exactly the same problem. At first I chose during flashing the option "Regular a2sdext" as it seems good to me. However, nothing has changed, it was not working for me at all. Then I reflashed again with "Stock a2sd" and after booting I went to terminal and activated it. I tried it with several combinations (in some of them I got the message "Insufficcient storage available" and I only had like 5 apps installed...). At the end I finally made it work with the combination that is recommended by Sandvold - Y N Y. After that I have been installing several apps and my internal memory does not go down almost at all :good:... I will see later, but for now, this is the best set up for me....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
I had this problem

I had this problem with one application. When installing from market, there'd be a pop up message saying that there was no more storage space even though there was plenty.

A few hours later, everything went back to normal and I managed to install all the apps I wanted.

(Side question: have you guys updated to Sandvold ICS 0.18 Beta?! I have, but I lost root access, so now I'm trying to regain it. Could someone alert Sandvold? I'm a new member and I can't post to 'Android development forums")
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
what do you mean that you lost root access? I was planning to upgrade to 0.18 today (I flashed 0.17.1 yesterday, but I have an issue with my phone - I cannot recevie any phone calls :( - and I hope another flash might help it...), so I guess I will wait a while....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iyf:
I have been testing 0.18 for a few hours now. Your phone issues should be resolved except you will encounter a new issue. You will lose superuser privilliges, to restore this, you have to install a zip of superuser through recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
My comments on Sandvold ICS 0.18

I had 0.17.1.1 and all was well, it was tiny bit laggy, but overall it was cool.

i updated to 0.18, and I lost root access: the apps requesting SuperUser premissions were denied. (If you don't know what root access is, please google it)

As iyf said, you can flash the zip provided in Sandvold's official thread to restore root access. Check page 1601 or so for the flashable zip that will restore root access. I did so, and regained root access.

Then I got back all my apps as Sandvold 0.18 is my daily driver. But as I was using it, I noticed that whenever you change something in the system settings, it does not apply immediately. For example, I want my phone to lock immediately when it goes to sleep, well it simply doesn't. The power menu lost a few of the shortcuts it had in 0.17.1.1 (sound profiles...) and even if you restored them in the system settings, it won't change.

All in all, 0.18 is great step in terms of stability and reactiveness. No more scroll lag, apps open seamlessly, and no more 3G signal problems. The camera still isn't working though. Nevertheless, bizarrely the system lost its coherence: the system settings are not immediately applied and used, and the screen just won't lock. Those are the problems I encountered this afternoon.

I hope Sandvold takes a look at this thread as I cannot post on the official ROM thread coz I just registered on XDA.

(My Home button died today, even if I press it really hard, it won't respond, but I think it's a hardware issue)

EDIT: About the no more space issue, I had this today even though there was plenty of space left. I rebooted the phone and the warning disappeared.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
of course I know what root is, otherwise I would not be here, right? :)... I just did not understand what happened to you when you updated to 0.18.... Now I understand.... and regarding to your issues - in 0.17.1 I had exactly the same problem - my screen did not lock even I set it up correctly and I also had the problem with Home button, it simply did not work + I could not receive any phone calls... all of that was really annoying and I tried to find some help on sandvold's blog, without any success, I also tried their IRC, nobody helped me either. I did not want to do a full wipe again, but at the end I did (and now I have to set up everything as well :( ) but after full wipe, everything is working correclty... I can receive phone calls, my screen locks and home button is also working :p... so I recommend you to do a full wipe, I am sure it will resolve your issues as well...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
I also lost the root access with Beta 0.18(with full wipe),

(Beta 0.17 "root access" is OK!)

Superuser is out of order with this issue so that I can't activate A2SD

btw,

I have once tried the "AD2SDX", but didn't work normally:

I merged 1GB ext4 for it. And every time when I install about 10~15 Apps

A message on the top of the screen would tell me that I almost reached the limit.

(I'm using traditional Chinese, I don't know what it was written in English)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
By full wipe you mean:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache

3. wipe dalvik cache

4. wipe battery stats

right?

I always do that when I flash a new ROM... Anyway, will try again later and hope that it works.

Caesar
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
yes, it is what I meant... I did full wipe before flashing and then another after it :(... I do not wipe battery stats during that process,but it does not matter :) I hope it will work for you...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
Whenever I got this message, I'd reboot or hot reboot and it would disappear. I can't remember if I had the same script.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

I did a full wipe again, and everything went back to perfect working order. Thanks man
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
you mean working with AD2SDX ?

Can I ask you how do you merge and format ext4 ?

Actually, I'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard, is it okay ?

cause I did reboot after I saw the message, but didn't work.

But I surely know that I can see "1GB" in "Apps" in "settings"

quite confusing :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
It's not okay, minitool doesn't do that correctly. Use 4ext recovery to partition your sd card.

Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
Quite confusing indeed. I must say I'm no expert developer or programmer, heck I'm an engineering student. i just experiment on my Desire. But my experience in bricking/unbricking/flashing/etc tells me the following:

Minitool wizard apparently is not okay. I used it at first too but my Desire just could not read or detect the EXT3 partition I created. I tried EXT4. I tried different roms and scripts, none worked for me. (To be honest, I only tried 3 roms and a few scripts).

What I used is plain simple: Clockworkmod Recovery partitioning tools. It works for me!

First restore your SD card to full FAT32 configuration (I might suggest changing the basic storage unit from a few bytes to a few kilobytes as it might increase SD card responsiveness).

BACK IT UP, you will lose everything on it when you partition it in CWM.

Boot into recovery and select partition SD card (It is advised that the size of your partition does not exceed 1.5 GB as a few ROM developers have pointed out - not Sandvold though- I use 512 MB, which is more than enough for me). Set SWAP to 0 Bytes. (i have no idea what swap is, should google it, but most threads advise a swap of 0 B).

That's it, you have your partition.

I use CWM and Sandvold 0.18. If you use this setup, everything should be okay, at least it's ok on my phone.

I use stock a2sd when flashing Sandvold ICS ROMs.

I'm on stock HBOOT, S-OFF, and using the regular Kernel that comes with Sandvold 0.18. (I tried tiamat, but the battery dies after half a day of use!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skubko:
just to add - I have Amon RA Recovery and I partitioned my SD card by that, it was also working without any problems everytime I did it... :cool:

@CzarD - I am glad to hear that the wipe helped you...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp333:
You should try out the Amarullz or INT2SD from the Aroma installer. I have INT2SD and I have 1,3G of free space (2G EXT partition)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
As I know, swap in linux is somewhat like virtual memory in Windows.

Will be launched when the system is in low memory.

That's exactly everything I know:D

I'm now Using Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4, stock HBOOT, S-OFF

And just follow your way to full wipe then install the system again(stock a2sd)

I still can't get the root access. thus, I can't activate a2sd in terminal :(

PS: with Beta 0.18

But Beta 0.17.1 currently work!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
As pointed out already, the SU binary in 0.18 doesn't give you root access. To rectify this, just flash the zip linked in page 1601 of Sandvold's thread:

http:// xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355660&page=1601

Flash it from recovery and you're good to go. I should point out that 0.18 is smoother than 0.17.1 in terms of performance.

Happy flashing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r1tesh:
If speed is what you are looking for jus OC the phone. I used partitioned my phone and enabled swap using a script now my phone runs smooth. You can also try V6 SUPERCHARGER.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
You're so kind, man!

anyway, thanks for sharing the information about these statuses

I flash it up soon (or maybe wait for the new release:)) )

appreciate !!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
You're most welcome :) glad I could help.

About overclocking, well it just eats through your battery like crazy and shortens the expected life of your handset, so it's a no go for me. Plus, at 1 Ghz, the Desire is more than enough for everyday tasks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UserMatty:
yep, i got the same situation with yours. So I also use the default frequency to run ICS.

The real problem is the less RAM with Desire, but it's still so rocky that it can run the latest system

with this old old model (support from android 2.1 LOL)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
RAM issues?! You must be running some pretty serious stuff on your phone then. I use mine for communications and music, no games, no videos etc.

If I check my RAM on a random moment, at least 40% of it is clear. Anyway, why would one care how much ram they have free unless the phone is lagging?

I can tell you that mine does not lag at all: no OC, Sandvold 0.18, regular kernel, smartass v2 and V6 supercharger script.

This script will take a bit of ram, but your phone will feel very smooth.

questions-

1)can we tweak the camera to record ''better'' and ''crisp'' quality video of 720p?

2)what about gpu?

as far as I know, it has cortex a9 processor, which does not support andreno 200 gpu.

so which gpu is in the device?

3) everyone knows that ics is high on ram demand as compared to 2.3.6

so does the 512 mb user available ram makes this device a litle slow?

((personal experience on this one))

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TacTieTee:
People,

Another important aspect of the phone is - although not related to development - its accessories. The back of the phone is, to put it bluntly, a mass of cheap plastic. Is there any way we can get the karbonn guys to introduce new, non glossy, smart back covers for this phone so that I can do away with the current one?

Secondly, the phone's screen guards are not available anywhere at all. If anyone comes across any breaks here, they are requested to inform here for the benefit of other A18 users.

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pradeepjoshua:
An idea

If you go to a local mobile shop theyll have this scratch guard as a film whiich they'll cut it precisely and stick it on your a18's screen..That should do the trick and for back cover maybe you can try painting it...youcan clean the surface and use oil based paints...on top you can put a protective PU clear coat! any automobile painting shed should do it for you
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TacTieTee:
yea thats a good idea. in fact i tried it at a local shop but he seemed to charge an extravagant price to stick a matt finish cover on the screen so i'll keep that on hold. thanks a lot for the suggestions.
