This Rom is simpy Great! I run it from a 16GB class 10 sd card. Stock HBOOT.

I did the a2sd y/n/y, a2sd xdata, a2sd y/y/y trick to have "unlimited" storage. (EXT4 2GB)

TIP: Use ADB shell to do this, BEFORE following the google account wizard. After restoring your google account, the device will restore your apps automatically, and by using the external storage, you will have plenty storage space, so all apps will install without problems. Saves a lot of time instead of manual restore!

I Replaced gallery as mentioned in this thread. (I Removed the gallery app (and Talk/Talkback) from the system with Titanium Backup.)

It is running very smooth now, I love it.

I installed the lowsoundfix, today I had no notification sound for incoming mail. Hope this helps. Looks like sometimes audio is comming from phone speaker instead of back speaker.

Issues at the moment:

GPS is not functioning correct during internet access and vice versa.

Experiences on my device: Waze app is loosing GPS fix when downloading map data, Runkeeper cannot upload a track during GPS fix.

Somehow gps and internet connections are getting mixed up. I have no solution for this atm, I could imagine that there's a fast/simple workaround which can be done with Tasker?

I use GPS a lot, together with data, so this is an issue I'd like to fix/workaround. (Sometimes however, it works as it should. Cannot pinpoint what is triggering the problem)

EDIT: It looks like Bluetooth communication is the culprit. Internet connection and GPS only works, but if a BT connection is also active (carkit) the problems arrise.

The new camera app is ok (builtin one is flickering a lot on first attempt), although the panorama function gives flickering again, and cannot be used properly. I use DMD Pano for panorama pics, so thats no big deal. Camera ICS (market) is another solution. Video is stuttering on all app's I tried. (Device is simply to slow I think)

I had to revert to an older Youtube APK, because the newer version won't play video. Disadvantage is that "update all" in Google play, will also update the youtube app. I don't know how to avoid that. Not a big deal either.

VPN: IPSec Xauth PSK to FritzBox: Connection is succesfull but after trying to get traffic through the tunnel, VPN is dropped. I did the same settings on my tablet (stock android 4.2.1) and it works on that device. So it should be possible. It's not an issue for me, but maybe for others.
[Desire Android Development] mistraller:
Low Volume fix is not working always. I can hear that the notification sounds come from the wrong speaker. After getting called, the audio is ok.
[Desire Android Development] rfandango:
Go to Google Play, find YouTube app and in settings uncheck automatic update. You can do it for every app separately.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] mistraller:
In the meanwhile, I took the older youtube app from this thread and resigned it with a testkeystore. (ZipSigner from play store)

After that, market will not update youtube again. Just like I wanted!

Only problem I'm still coping with, is the GPS reception problems. If I start the GPS after BT, and mobile data connections are established, it will work sometimes. However, the gps gives only a correct update once per 2 or 3 seconds, and will drop it's fix sometimes.

But I still love this ROM!

I managed to get a working VPN connection to FritzBox with VPNCilla (from play store) It seems that several 4.x android devices cannot connect properly to this modem.

GPS gives serious troubles...not only during BT usage, but also in other situations. I had several reboots after using GPS, I'm trying to switch radio's for now....

As I use GPS a lot for navigation and tracking (runkeeper) this rom is not stable enough. I hate that, because I really love the rom!

An example; during runkeeper tracking, if I take a picture, GPS loose it's fix, and it took 5 minutes to regain that. After 2 minutes the phone rebooted itself. So I lost my tracking, because I did not notice the reboot.

I use the latest Radio ROM now: 5.17.05.23

My stock radio was: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30 (But unfortunately I'm not sure of that)

Hi did you manage to fix the GPS/BT issues?

Replace SD card with a bigger one?

Hi!

I installed the system using a 16GB SD card but want to replace it with a 64GB one.

As there's also system data on it and the card was formatted during the installation of the system, can I just replace it and copy the contents of the old card or do I have to follow certain steps?

Thanks for your help!

Regards

[Desire Android Development] zulusik:
Do a full nandroid backup. Then copy the contents of your SD card (FAT partition) your PC. Then replace the card. Go to recovery, and partition the new SD card with exactly the same size EXT4 partition (and the rest FAT, so your FAT will be much bigger now). Mount the SD card in recovery, and copy the contents of FAT partition back to SD card - now your nandroid backup will be on your SD card as well. Finally, restore the nandroid backup (and you can restore only the EXT4 here).
[Desire Android Development] toko42:
Thanks for your fast reply!

By "nandroid" you mean the backup function of the recovery system?

Would it make sense to add a swap partition while doing this?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
No the kernel doesn't support swap, so it would be an unused waste of space.

[Desire Android Development] zulusik:
Don't think so - afaik swap is not supported by this ROM and thus you won't benefit from that - someone more knowledgeable might want to correct me.

No, BT is ok, but GPS gives lots of troubles to me. This week I will go back to Gingerbread, to much troubles with gps. I tried 5.09.05.30_2 radio, but no change. The problem is in the kernel I'm afraid. (I will switch to mildwild ROM i think)

wifi hotspot working, great rom

Thanks VJ for a great ROM.

In de beginning I had problems running a hotspot. The hotspot was immediately shut down right start up.

During testing I found a solution: turn wifi off and let the 3G connection stabilize before setting up a hotspot.

Below some extra info on my setup and testing.

I got VJ CM10.1, JB 4.2.2 V6.3 running. I use 16 Gb class 10 USH-1 with 2Gb ext and no cache, a2sd xdata Y/Y.

After installation Wifi tethering didn’t work. Directly after install the Wifi tether did worked once and my Nexus 7 and PC connected to the internet. After sometime when I switched on Wifi hotspot it immediately switched off. Apps lik Barnacle did’t solve the problem. I also tried VJ MIUI and AOPK rom’s they also gave problems.

Af first I used "Easy Tether Lite" to set up bluetooth tethering between my Desire and Nexus 7. This worked fine.

While still testing wifi tethering I noticed that sometimes although in the notice bar the 3G or H was visible there was no internet connection. I tried using a signal booster app to reset the 3G connection but only a restart/reboot will work. It maybe that the problems with wifi tether are in the Desire losing its 3G internet connection.

During further testing I discovered that turning on wifi tethering (hotspot) with wifi still active causes the Desire to loose its “data connection”. The status/notice bar is showing 3G/H, suggesting there is a 3G data connection but using *#*#4636#*#* to access the TEST menu it is clear that there is no data connection. I had to reboot to restart the data connection. Even using *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information>menu (button) I was not able to enable the data connection. I also tried toggling flight mode and several apps that restart the 3G connection.

Now I switch off Wifi and allow the 3G connection to stabilize before I turn on tethering.

This way I have no more problems and everything works fine. I found that the app “3G data only” can be helpful, it forces the use of 3G over 2G (turn it on before switching on tethering to ensure a stable 3G connection, switching between 2G en 3G can also cause the loss of the data connection).

Since then I have had no problems setting up a hotspot.

It is just great to see my old Desire running Android4.2.

Regards,

Antoine

Is LInk2SD working with this?

Hello guys!

I'm currentlly running CM7.2 on my Desire. I've downloaded this rom, installed it, went through the A2SD steps with success but after that i really don't know what to do. how do i move the apps?

On the net i only found steps on how to install a2sd but nothing after that?! what is the process of moving the apps to ur sd partition? i have to reboot all the time after installing an app or what?

link 2sd is so much easyer and from what i saw on the net better than a2sd. have you guys tried it? does it work? ext4?

im running latest 4ext recovery with a 4ext 2gb partition

on another level, do you guys use V6 SuperCharger with this rom? what other scripst are compatible with this one?

thank you in advance! :)
[Desire Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
A2sd script must move apps it-self.

Try Mounts2SD if you have problem with default a2sd script (Mounts2SD will disable current A2SD and have and app to control it). Check my sign for a link to download it.

Quick question for those running the new 4.x ROM, what's the camera like in terms of smoothness and function?

I'm running the 3.0 version at the moment and really happy with how well the camera is working (was awful in the previous AOKP ICS one I had) so want to make sure it's at least as good on 4.x before I reflash.

Noticed on the first page about having to close and reopen the camera app before it works, is this still the case on the latest revision?

You're welcome!
[Desire Android Development] TimHermans:
If I remember correctly Dalvik is the name of the engine (a virtual machine) that converts/compile's the java code to android readable executable code as .dex files.. So pretty important ;) If you change your rom and try to reuse the dalvik cache (cached code of previous rom) you're likely to hit trouble.. So my advice, use 4ext Recovery (which you can certainly find along with instructions if you search the development thread) and allways full wipe if changing/installing roms..

And don't be sorry for being a noob, we're all noobs, some just a little longer.. ;) Important thing is that we should share our knowledge more..

Do you have Superuser or SuperSU installed? Check if it works correctly for Terminal Emulator, you should get '#' in stead of '$' and someting like 'root@android' instead of 'u0_a43'. If you type in 'a2sd install' it shouldn't go directly back to the commandline, but you should get the three questions.
