Should be OK.

But if you use 4ext recovery, you can start (to be sure) with wipe data/factory reset, after wipe cache+davlik, after wipe battery stats and to check in info if you have cleaned the system data, cache and sd-ext. Some time I use also the format all partitions (except sdcard).

Also, in the Tools to check if your partition alignement is perfect. On sdcard is good to clean files/directories from the old rom.

And good luck on flashing! :)
[Desire Android Development] Spyrek10:
Do you have flashable zip for softkeys or it's impossible with this rom ?
[Desire Android Development] hebermc:
The file I downloaded is only 59.4MB, is that right?

Other firmwares I downloaded are 150MB to 370 MB.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yes thats right. Gingerbread roms are generally smaller.
[Desire Android Development] hebermc:
Does this rom automatically use the SD card for app space or is there some command I need to run?

Having the Same problem here with my HTC Desire

Love this rom can anyone help
[Desire Android Development] TanmayTzara:
I didn't have anything better to do, so I made a looped version of your ringtone :p

It had a one second long gap at the beginning and the and, so I fixed it.

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] readonly24:
Thanks. But I think fixing the bug would be the preferred solution, because the ringtone plays fine on every other ROM I used.
[Desire Android Development] dingdong3000:
Which version you installing? I had same problem on 13.5 but 14 is working just fine.
[Desire Android Development] ferencz1:
yep, version 14 is good, no soft reboots :good::good:
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
No need for any additional commands or scripts, built in moves apps and dalvik to sd-ext automatically.

You only need correctly partitioned sd card (1.5-2GB max ext4 partition, made using 4EXT recovery or gparted only)

Then keep apps on 'internal' (don't 'move to SD') to trick your apps to the sd-ext

(Optional but recommended: use OxygenR2 hboot for maximum app space.)
[Desire Android Development] Makinen11:
Been using this for a few hours now. All i can say is WOW!

Mildwild has outdone himself once again. If it continues like this for the next few days while i abuse it without problems and this speed

... I am impressed. I also love the whole jelly bean feel it has. Especially the notification bar with the beautiful transparency I can't stop looking at it. And the quick controls there rock! I can customize it so much it's unreal!

I am currently using it with the oxygen HBOOT for maximum space and a 1.5 gb ext4 partition. Thanks for the tip or I would stills be stuck with the CM7R2 HBOOT for compatibility purposes

I made a fat32 and a ext4 partition using the guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126363

The phone cant see the SD Card. Any idea?

I created a 12GB FAT32 partition and a 4GB ext4 partition.

EDIT: tried to make it FAT32 again, but now the phone cant see the card
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Too big a partition!

Delete all partitions and restart again. Create only one ext4 partition maximum 1.5mb the rest of sdcard remains as fat

I just installed this ROM and I can't log to my Google Account, on the login screen it puts automatically the [MENTION=222739]google[/MENTION]mail.com (even if mine is [MENTION=5499064]gmail.com[/MENTION])...I tried to force it with username@gmail.com + password and only username + password but I still doens't found it correct even if the password was double checked.
[Desire Android Development] readonly24:
GB not MB. :) 1 GB is best.
[Desire Android Development] readonly24:
Strange. It does not matter if you use gmail.com and googlemail.com. Pls triple :) check your username and password.
[Desire Android Development] MattSid:
I have been tryed to log on on my Desktop PC with username@gmail.com and password and works fine.

Then on the Smartphone I tried those combinations:

username@gmail.com + password

username@googlemail.com + password

username + password

No one of this works :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] herb1:
make sure that there are no spaces after username or password (sometimes gets accepted as a character)
[Desire Android Development] MattSid:
Checked, no space after. Looks more like a bug instead of an personal error.

I just tought that the problem is related to the 2-step verification:

http://mattimeo.com/mattimeo/2012/07/android-your-username-and-password-do-not-match-error/

I'm going to try this solutions...really boring situation.

EDIT:

Yes, I just disabled the 2-step verification and now works fine. I'm really impressed about Google's dowdiness.
[Desire Android Development] MattSid:
Sadly I need to keep off the 2-step verification, because the system is going to ask further for the account password, that works only when this 2-step verification is off :(
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
You used the wrong guide. Like I said, use 4EXT recovery or gparted only, not minitool as it creates bad partitions. That guide may work in rare cases, but if you're going to do it properly, start from scratch and use this guide. I recommend gparted in your case as you may have corrupted your sdcard. 4GB ext4 is too much and unncessary, 2GB max.

When you get it set up, your phone still won't 'see' the partition, so your internal memory won't read 'internal + sd-ext', but it's working.

Apps should still get moved automatically.

Install another app like 'diskusage' to browse and check all your partitions are working properly.

'Best' is entirely dependent on the user requirement. With a lot of apps, the app apks and dalvik cache could easily fill up 1GB, so is not best for some... The whole idea is to create a partition big enough so you don't run out of space again.

The largest stable I've seen is 2GB ext4, ~1.5GB is average.
[Desire Android Development] hebermc:
4ext recovery told me to run the USB-Unbrick from tools for the SD Card.

I followed that guide, it asked me to create a first and second sd-ext partition plus a swap partition, I created all of them. Should I just have just 1 sd-ext partition with 1.5GB and ignore the other two?

The phone can now see the partitions.
[Desire Android Development] MarekAG:
You should make only 1 sd-ext partition.
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
One fat32 partition, one ext4 partition. No need for swap, it's unnecessary
[Desire Android Development] hebermc:
OK, I did that, 1 ext4 partition with 1.5GB, the rest fat32. How do I see it worked in diskusage?

The other time I did it I could see a sd-ext in "Disk Usage\[Root Required]"
[Desire Android Development] herb1:

[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
What's new besides theme? I mean backend.
[Desire Android Development] reking:
I now have an SD card with an EXT4-partition... How do I get my phone to recognize it? Only about 137 MB shows up as available on the internal phone storage. Did I miss some guide somewhere?

Also - don't know if this is related to the partition - but downloading apps from Google Play is super slow. Could my 3G network speed have been reduced by flashing this ROM?

EDIT: figured the first part out: supposedly extra partitions don't show up as internal phone storage.
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
Somewhere in diskusage will be an "sd-ext" option or similar.

Titanium backup or Quick System Infro Pro will show your a2sd partition filling up.

Yep, your internal won't read 'internal + sd-ext'.

You can still gain extra internal memory as you are still on stock hboot with 250MB /system size. This ROM's /system is less than 100MB, so you're wasting over 150MB.

You'll gain this extra internal memory by flashing OxygenR2 hboot with 100MB /system size (requires s--off), internal goes up to 332MB total -> more space for apps :)
[Desire Android Development] PapaJasy:
I gave this rom a try and I'm quite impressed. It is so smooth, fast and stable. This is faster and more efficient than MildWild CM-8.0 JG Stable I tested before.

No bugs detected.

My phone has:

4EXT Recovery

Oxygen R2 Hboot

and the latest radio
[Desire Android Development] MetinKale38:
i bought me a nexus 5 and now my mom gets my desire, i will flash this rom on it.

what hboot do i need with core gapps? i just looked the OP an did not found anythingi

Tapatalked... just Tapatalked...
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Oxygen Hboot is just fine. I 've actually removed a lot of staff from the zip and managed to fit the whole rom in a 80mb Hboot with 9mb free.
[Desire Android Development] papajohn777:
Anyone know how to fix the "%d%%"?
[Desire Android Development] reking:
How do I get this? Can't find any mention in the OP. Did I possibly miss clearing out something when flashing this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
For whatever reason Mildwild tends to neglect this part in the OP

Changing hboot is just a partitioning of your actual internal nand memory, to optimise space as explained above. (You don't have to, but is recommended for maximising app space)

Assuming you're already s-off (if you're not search for further guides), and that your sd card has already been partitioned properly (using 4EXT recovery or gparted, not minitool):

- nandroid backup

- download oxygenR2 hboot.img from alpharev.nl

- verify the md5sum of the hboot.img file given on the same page

- flash the .img using fastboot (do not flash either the hboot zip or img thru recovery)

- reboot back into recovery, full wipe and nandroid restore.

I could not find sd-ext anywhere.

It is odd, I did a partition alignment check and it showed an error (I previously partitioned the sdcard with 4ext recovery).

I redid the partitioning (with 4ext recovery), now it aligns correctly and diskusage shows sd-ext.

No bluetooth tethering ?

I just install MW-14 on a Desire, after a full-wipe.

The must have feature I daily use is the 3G sharing through bluetooth tethering, for my Nexus 7 2012.

I stick to a 2.3.7 Android, because all >= Android 4 I have tested have a broken bluetooth tethering.

But with MW-14, when the phone is associated to the Nexus 7, the option to use the Desire connection isn't here :-Z

I search from the post 100 to this post and nobody mention bluetooth.

Any idea ?

[Desire Android Development] MNubbi:
Install MW14 fresh on your phone after the installation use the aroma filemanager ( Aroma File Manager 1.91) and delete the a2sd script out of the recovery ( /system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd ) and boot the system for the first time. Should work this way ;)

Hi MildWild,

sometimes the screen stays black when I receive a call. Didn't find a way to reproduce it, can anybody confirm?
[Desire Android Development] mattia.b89:
[MENTION=4159599]mildwild[/MENTION]

if I have a SIM card with pin, randomly the phone can't connect to the cell network and if I try to switch to airplane mode the mobile tab crash, stop to respond

another two (little) thing:

1- is there a way to get headset icon when it is plugged in?

2- when desire is on charge notification LED doesn't work
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
Check in display settings

Charging light is ticked.
[Desire Android Development] mattia.b89:
oh, sorry I forgot to explain the main part of the problem:

when phone is on charge LED is on (notify me that the phone is on charge) but "true" notification e.g. email, sms, ... doesn't work because the LED state doesn't change
[Desire Android Development] solox:
It was because of flashing the provided file.
[Desire Android Development] solox:
Autobrightness

The brightnesscontrol seems to be the drawback of this rom. Have to go in to settings to adjust brightness. Or did i miss something.
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
Any other way to turn off the horrible haptic feedback when unlocking the phone? I have unticked it in settings but it still carries on regardless.
[Desire Android Development] dvsk69:
Nope. Only option is to use a different lock screen from play store.

I use Holo Locker. It has an option to remove haptic feedback and works well.
[Desire Android Development] tm.bax:
Hi Thanks for an amazing rom...

What's different between this Rom and MildWild ROM ???
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Different base, some different features. Try it out and see for yourself.
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
YouTube freezes up after 10 min of watching. Status bar force closes many times a day. Battery dies at 20% you can't turn of haptic feedback. The screen glitches all the time.. you get screen banding when you touch the screen and scrolling doesn't stop when you move your finger from the screen. Found all these bugs after only 2 days of use.. definitely not stable.
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Weird. I don't have those bugs. Did you wipe before you installed it? Try reflashing the ROM.

The battery dies at 20% due to it being old. It's not the ROMs fault.
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
Lol the battery didn't die at 20% on my last rom only 2 days ago... It would go right to 1% and of Course I full wiped lol I'm not a idiot. I even re flashed the rom to see if that would help but same issues

Edit: Tested on all h boots, the bugs are still the same. There is no way that you can say you don't have them as they are clearly there. The most annoying bug of them all is the haptic feedback upon moving widgets and unlocking the lock screen (even after I unticked it from settings).. If you could help with that one bug I'd be able to put up with the other bugs... as I know screen banding is a kernel issue so maybe you could point me to a thread for a better kernel? :) thanks. :)
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
I can confirm what [MENTION=4346614]abaaaabbbb63[/MENTION] described.

Running this rom for weeks on one of my desires.

With the few apps I installed and oxygen hboot I don't even use a2sd.

Rom is really smooth and fancy.

Maybe give more details about hboot, recovery etc.

Two beer or not two beer, that's the question
[Desire Android Development] verbumomo:
Before flashing you wiped battery stats, and everytime you change a Rom, unfortunatly, if you have an aged battery (not to mention if you bought a chinese cell) you have to recalibrate with battery calibrator of Richard. Never had such issues on MW (MW, 5 and 14).

If you want you can find many kernels in posts or take a look at droidzone & co
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
Calibrating the battery doesn't do anything lol, hence why all the new recoveries have got rid of it, It only deletes the battery stats which does nothing for making the battery life any longer.... The battery stats are only used for showing you which apps are using battery and they are reset everytime you charge the phone lol.... I suggest you do some research ;) Good day. :)

Edit: saying I can find kernels in "posts" wasn't the most helpful of repies was it? Lol which "posts" exactly?
[Desire Android Development] verbumomo:
That's weird: me and many other solved the shutdown issue with battery calibrator (read it right: battery calibrator, not calibration and I completed it with Richards). Moreover your Desire shutsdown when you drop under a certain voltage (mainly 3.2 Volt) and a battery is not like a tank of gas, you can't put a sensor inside to check capacity, you have to rely on stats: how much did it last before reaching 3,2? At wich temperature? What kind of load? Ets. Said this your battery pack has a pcb inside that should communicate to your device the real capacity of cell, on most non originals (especially cheap chinese) forget that it will! It is fixed on full value (1400) and the chip inside will not be updated easily, except you have good programming skills and all codes - on good compatible the behaviour is same as originals (personally when I replace battery I take new cell and solder old original pcb). When you change ROM you loose all stats and sometimes it resets the pcb chip to nominal capacity. You won't have problems with new or good battery as long as they have a good capacity but as they become aged capacity drops, the problem is that your desire always supposes that it has the full capacity but maybe the real is 1200 - that is why we use battery calibrator to rewrite in battery chip the real value so the battery indicator will be more precise. That said do as you like, I had that problem and fixed it like I wrote. And if you want a precooked soup beacause you're to lazy to put droidzone in a search box or type a few letters in the form above on the right of this page, then its not my fault - i do not have a link db and don't have time and will to read posts again and again.

As the ROM works quite good on most devices maybe it's quite possible that it's your device to be different, on mine, for example, touch recoveries never work right but on my sisters device they do - same procedures, same apps, hboot, s-off etc.

Have a good day too
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
[MENTION=1543913]verbumomo[/MENTION]

I completely agree with you.

For this rom you don't even need to flash another kernel.

[MENTION=5358233]John_wba[/MENTION]

This might be of interest for you.

This is not dealing with batterystats.bin.

Once if youcharge your battery after phone shut off, the full capacity is assumed as 94%.

If your battery's age/capacity is worse than that, you'll not reach <5% before phone shuts down.

This app performs a learning cycle to measure your battery's real capacity and set it to the registers.

This app will not work with most of the cheap aftermarket batteries!
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
The old myth of deleting battery stats you are correct. However, the battery calibration app is actual calibration for the battery, it is not deleting the batterystats file.

So suggest you do some research on the link tom has provided ;)

As for your other queries:

- hboots. Changing this will have absolutely no effect on the stability. It is just how your internal nand memory partition is laid out. You simply need to be on the optimal one (OxygenR2) for most efficient use of space and maximum app space.

- disabling haptic feedback disables most system haptic. feedback when moving widgets is annoying, but it's not something you do all the time. I hate lockscreen haptic feedback, annoying as well, can only be worked around by changing files within the ROM, or installing another lockscreen app (easier)

- just checking, did you partition your sd card, and how did you do it if so? Should only be done with 4EXT recovery or gparted, not minitool.

- I wouldn't recommend changing kernel, there should be no need as the one bundled should work fine.
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
I don't need to do any research Thank you. I already knew everything you just said. There is a much easier way to calibrate the battery and that is let the battery drain down to when it says shutting down and then connect your charger and leave the phone off overnight to charge. Done. Battery will now not die at 20% but that is not the case with this rom. Hence the fault I reported.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

The fault comes from the kernel telling the battery the wrong voltage. I have tried it with my 2nd battery for proof and guess what? Battery died at 20% again and I've since gone back to My old rom and the battery is fine again. Point proven. End of debate.
[Desire Android Development] island3r:
-Wrong (on the desire anyway).

-Wrong.

That said, I'm not going to contribute any further to the discussion. Obviously the rom doesn't work for you, and obviously you should just try a different one. Best of luck mate.
[Desire Android Development] John_wba:
I have gone back to my old rom now mate and all is fine, however you'll find I am not wrong, it's the kernels job to tell the rom and battery what voltage to use. Never the less thanks for the replies and trying to help :) . Have a good night :)
