I also had this problem. It seems that newer Youtube app is not supporyed in this ROM so you need to revert to an older one, i am using 4.4.11 and its working fine, after you install it uncheck automatic update for this app in Play Store

Each time I reboot I get "Android is upgrading" - 'optimising x of xx apps' and kind of takes ages
[Desire Android Development] chrisb906:
Did it fully boot, jap?

[Desire Android Development] japseye:
Yes mate but it takes ages and each time I install new apps it takes longer as the count gets bigger. At the moment it says x of 93 apps and only added a few.

Ive decided to give up on it anyway. Theres no wifi settings to enter password to connect to my router. The touch screen is extremely lazy. Ive installed Victoria TTS for use with my sat nav but its nowhere to be seen in settings.
[Desire Android Development] chrisb906:
Wow. Idk what to say. Lol

Chris B.
[Desire Android Development] :
Weird. That usually happens only once when you activate a2sd. In your case, it seems like it is moving apps to ext4 partiton every time you boot, which could be a problem with your ext4 partition.
[Desire Android Development] chrisb906:
Oh yea. That's right. That happened to me. Never again will I have more than one recovery on my device. Lol.

Jelly Bean is running games in slow mo

Is anyone having this problem when you play games they are running a little bit slow motion? It happens on this ROM and on Evervolv turba JB 4.2.2 also. It doesn't run slow mo in Gingerbread ROMs. The only thing I flashed is eglpatch for Adreno 200 but I doubt that is the problem.

Battery shows 34%, but after minute phone shutting down. I have wiped battery stats.

When someone calling me my phone screen is black. I cannot answer! But sometimes I can see the ring and then I can answer. 50/50

When I answer I can hear the noise. After few seconds I can start speaking.

Sometimes twice a week I need reenter my SIM pin code. I don't know why. Maybe my phone rebooting.

try to format the sd-ext partition using 4ext recovery.

the sd-ext should be the 1st partition on the SD partition table.

Also Using 4ext, check for partition alignment on the SD ( it's under tools->... i think )
[Desire Android Development] :
removing the a2sd xdata script..?

Hey ya'll,

First of thanks for an awesome ROM!! I've just installed it and loving it already!! :)

One question tho; is it possible to remove the a2sd xdata script, and install the a2sd Darktremor instead..? I'ts just because I have had great experiences with the DT a2sd script before, not because I have encountered any errors with the existing script..

So, actually my question is; what do I need to remove in the system/etc/init.d folder, to get rid of the a2sd xdata script..? And can it even be done the way I have imagined it; a.) deleted the existing script, reboot into recovery, flash the DT a2sd script, run it in terminal emulator, and violá --> it's gonna work..?

Or am I waaaay wrong here..?

- H

EDIT: Sorry, nevermind - figured it out.. Basicly I was worried that with the Y | N | settings upon a2sd install, I would run out of space quite fast (I use a LOT of apps..), but then I figured out that I could mount the entire /data partition on /sd-ext with the "xdata" command.. And the performance loss is, in my case, not even noticable. :)

Btw., if anyone wants a full list and explanation of the different commands for the a2sd xdata script, see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21222591

Just in case anyone might have the same question.. :)

[MENTION=4207011]bbgmp[/MENTION] A question.. after typing "su" (enter), does the terminal emulator ask you to allow root access? Maybe you denied the first time. Check the superuser app.
[Desire Android Development] uranium:
thanks for this wonderful ROM. I have it installed currently and its working great except for these issues I'm facing.

the camera preview has screen tearing. so its impossible to see anything in the preview screen most of the time.

another thing is that the battery percentage is stuck at 100% for some reason and doesn't discharge even after extended period of time.

would appreciate any advice you may give. thanks!
[Desire Android Development] uranium:
ok, scratch the battery reading issue. Seems to work fine. Started discharging, just that it got stuck at 100% for quite some time and I was shocked. Maybe it takes some time for calibration. The video is still choppy though with screen tearing.

[Desire Android Development] Mad Marty:
A2SD is included in this ROM
[Desire Android Development] StipeP:
I have newly rooted Desire, clockwork recovery, and new empty 16GB SD. I like this ROM but with all the dev slangs and optional downloads it makes me feel super noobish again.

Can someone please lead me through the setup and installation step by step. From SD EXT, dalvik, flash, etc etc (just babling) I would be very thankful!
[Desire Android Development] Mad Marty:
First partition your SD card from recovery, it's all pretty much self-explaining. Use e.g. 1GB ext partition and rest FAT. Then attach your phone to your computer and mount SD from recovery and copy ROM zip to SD. Unmount SD and flash ROM zip to phone. Reboot phone, and use Terminal to enable A2SD: first give in 'su' and give root permission and then give in 'a2sd install'. Answer Y N Y to questions and your phone should reboot. After that, install your apps and all is ready :)
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
First thing, install 4ext recovery instead of clockworkmod. It lets format your sdcard creating the sdext partition in the best and easier way (select 0 swap).

When you have the sdext partition, backup your data if you have, then change hboot (that it's the partition table of this phone) and set the stock one (250 MB on /system). This will destroy your data. If you need help on this, ask! :)

After that, flash the rom, flash the gapps, reboot.
[Desire Android Development] StipeP:
What about clearing cache, dalvik etc?
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
You don't need to clear cache and dalvik now. If you are installing a new ROM, you have to wipe everything (except fat32 partition on sdcard).
[Desire Android Development] StipeP:
Well, isn't that what I'm doing right now. Installing new ROM over previous one?
[Desire Android Development] Mad Marty:
Always do a full wipe (wipe everything except SD) when changing ROMs. Sometimes when updating from a previous version of a ROM you can flash it without wiping, but only if there are no major changes.
[Desire Android Development] :
Anyone is having troubles with random rebooting on this rom? Reboots appears randomly and at any time. I have this problem only on this rom, I checked partitioning of my sd card and ext4 partition and it's all right. Battery seems to be good too (tested on Chromium CM 10.1 and no random reboots).
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Random reboots are a known bug on any 4.x rom on this phone.
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
Yeah, but I found out, that sometimes it helps to repartition/reformat sdcard from scratch (preferably with 4ext).

Afterwards doing a clean install of the rom and no restore with titanium, especially not system apps.

After 1st boot let phone settle for a while (until screen off no logcat activities), then immediately reboot.

When using a2sd I always keep dalvik internal.

When running for example evervolv my phone runs pretty stable.
[Desire Android Development] :
I always install ROMs from scratch ;) Thanks for response, I didn't know that is a common bug, but as I said, I didn't noticed that on Chromium mod. It has some special builds for it or it's just placebo?

Placebo.

I had random reboots and hangs when in bad signal zone with every 4.x rom. Seems a problem of evervolv base.

Hi,

First of all thanks for stable 4.2!

I have strange problem.

– Installed v.6.3 of this ROM

– Made full 100% normal at that moment nandroid backup via TWRP

– Temporary restored old CM7

– Then restored from backup this ROM

– Got stuck on bootanimation

– I deleted stock launcher from /system, my was installed as user app

– And here obviously that somehow user apps that on sdext don't available (I know it by other observations too)

– Formally phone booted, it can accept calls

– Via ADB browser checked /sd-ext – it's mounted, files there

– Tried to restore backup after full wipe except 1st partition of sdcard

– HBOOT didn't changed

– CM7 backup with Link2SD and secondary sdcard partition works fine, problem not in sdcard

– In thread was user with same problem

– Found this thread, but restoring again only sd-ext doesn't help

How restoring full backup can messed up a2sd script?

Any help is greatly appreciated

UPD: fixed by coping launcher APK in /system by flashing ZIP and then recreated a2sd script using Terminal Emulator.
[Desire Android Development] Bikonja:
Thank you for this awesome ROM VJ!

I'm having a few consistent problems with it (don't know what the problem exactly is, though, I'm not experienced with Android, but am an experienced developer - mostly .NET and I see suspicious stuff in the logcat, but don't know what's the cause).

1. When the phone is charging it consistently goes into a bootloop if used too much - games usually take at most a few minutes to reboot the phone, normal use usually takes much longer (could be battery overheating - how to check for this?)

2. I believe this is a known bug, but after a call, my notification volume goes down the toilet, you basically can't hear it unless you really put your ear to the speaker, until I go to the volume settings, first change the call volume and then change the notification volume

3. Notification volume can not be changed - no matter what level I put it at, it's always at the loudest (apart from the above bug), even though I unchecked the Link ringtone & notifications volumes

I can provide logcats, if need be just say so (didn't put a logcat now because I believe it would be easier if the logcat wasn't cluttered with too much stuff so am waiting to see if there will be an instruction like - put up a logcat from the moment before you plugin the charger to the moment the phone boots up and settles down).

I originally used y/n/y on the a2sd, but found that I needed more space so I ran it again with y/y/y. I also didn't flash the PIE nav controls, other than that, I followed the instructions from the original post. I installed the 6.3 version.

Hello, I'm new with my HTC Desire and I have a few questions: do I need an ext partition in my sdcard or only Stock Hboot is needed? (I'm comming from CM7.2, CM7(r2)-hboot).

Thanks for answering.
[Desire Android Development] Bikonja:
I don't think you need an ext partition, but with the Desire having such low internal memory I'd advise you create an ext partition even if it is not needed.

In that case, you should read this tutorial on partitioning your SD card. Recommended size is between 512Mb and 2Gb (some people say more than 2Gb causes issues).

[Desire Android Development] ncmz:
Thanks for answering! That helped a lot.

I may not be in the right thread but I'm having some issues to flash hboot stock. I know I have to downgrade it first and then flash the stock one. The problem is that I CAN'T GET THE PHONE FLASHED BY ANY METHOD. I mean, I tried AndroidFlasher, installed drivers, booted the phone in fastboot mode, followed steps but it doesn´t get flashed. I also put the PB99IMG.zip file in sd card correctly and fasboot doesn't update. Tried to flash running fastboot.exe commands and nothing... :(

I don't know what is what I am doing wrong. I don't know if the phone is wrong or my PC is wrong. H E L P. *going insane*.

Install Problem 6.3)

Hi out there...

Do i need a special HBoot for the newer Roms ?

I tried to flash that v6.3 Rom and during flash i always see a line some

symlinks cannot be set...aborted.

ATM i have the CM7r2 hboot installed (and ext4 recovery).

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yes, most 4+ ROM's require more space for the system. You need to flash the stock hboot in order to use this ROM.

I've been getting the ocassional "A SIM card has been added" message (without anything actually being done to the phone, hardware or software) and yesterday I got the message again, pressed reboot and when the phone booted some apps (play store included) didn't want to run - "Error while launching application" it said. Got me very worried. I tried some things and what ended up being the only way to fix it was to boot into recovery (I have 4ext recovery) and going to Tools -> Scan and fix file system (not sure the exact name but something like that). I had to run it a few times, though. First time it said it found errors, but couldn't fix them. Tried again, it fixed the errors supposedly and I booted the phone and it worked. However, I went back to recovery and scanned and fixed again and it again fixed some filesystem error(s). After that tried a few more times and it seemed ok for now. Not sure what caused this. :eek:

On the other hand, I have a question about the storage issue, especially when updating big apps like Whatsapp. Every time I receive this annoying message about insufficient storage, the only way around it which I know of is to reformat the entire ROM and start from scratch again (which is a painstaking task). Using an earlier recovery file does not resolve the issue either. Is there no way around this or is it simply that I have really reached the limit? Right now I have about 56 apps including system apps installed. Using a 32gb microSD as an external memory drive. Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. I also have the All-in-One Toolbox installed. Not sure if it interferes with any of the ROM's a2sd setup.

Cheers,

Ed
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
You shouldn't have to install everything again.

It depends on which version of the ROM, which hboot it's installed on, and what your actual remaining internal memory on your /data partition is.

It doesn't really matter about your 32GB card. You have to make sure it's partitioned correctly with gparted or 4EXT recovery only, nothing else. Then follow the A2SD instructions. Keep apps on internal to trick them to sd-ext, don't 'move to SD'.

The ROM sometimes needs to 'see' enough free internal memory to update apps with A2SD. It thinks it is installing to your /data partition, but will actually go do /sd-ext. So to trick it, you can titanium backup some apps to free a bit more space on /data until there's enough, update the apps like WhatsApp, then restore your uninstalled apps.

Always check that your partitions are filling up correctly with something like DiskUsage. Your internal memory is your /data partition. If A2SD is setup correctly, your app data (preferences, settings etc) will be on /data. Your apps and dalvik will be moved to sd-ext.
[Desire Android Development] dwinovax:
Thanks for the quick reply. :good:. I am still a little confused though. So I am looking at both the sd-ext and data folders...and under the /data...I have both app and dalvik-cache as well as data and app-lib. On the sd-ext folder there are again app and dalvik-cache. So I suppose my a2sd was not configured properly? Is there a way to tweak this manually perhaps?

I have also followed your advice on the backup and un-install then perhaps restore once I have updated them big files. So I have backedup a few, deleted them too but still was unable to update the big files. Should I continue backingup/uninstalling till it works? Also under titanium there is an option to "move app data to SD card". Is that also a viable method to clear up some internal space?

Cheers,

Ed
[Desire Android Development] dwinovax:
Well that did the trick nicely. Heh...just backed up a few more and had them uninstalled. Free enough space (about 50mb internal according to titanium) and initiated updates and it all worked like a charm. Thanks for the tip!!! :victory::victory:

I experience the same problem as [MENTION=4216105]dwinovax[/MENTION]. I cannot install any app that is >25MB in size (i.e. Facebook/Dropbox). I had this issue after using this ROM for few months in August, with all these apps installed - the problem was, I couldn't update them. Now, after changing sd-ext partition size to 1,5GB (1GB previously), and wiping everything I simply cannot install bigger apps. I can't see what the reason is, as every partition has sufficient storage available ("df" output in attachment). I use JellyBean hboot - may that be a problem?
[Desire Android Development] dwinovax:
I have moved on to a new HTC One (m7). :laugh:. But concerning your problem...try using alternate apps instead like X-plore for linking to dropbox. And accessing fb thru the browser. Just leave enough space (~30mb) at all times in the ROM.

Cheers,

Ed
[Desire Android Development] michuroztocz:
Well, as for now I am using these services the way you suggested, but it's bugging me. I have the storage space required, but still I cannot install these apps. It's not I can't live without them - just knowing it was working not so much time ago makes me think - what had changed?

Anyway, thanks for Your answer. I was a happy user of HTC One S (Z520e), but then my AMOLED screen died (or burnt out) after my warranty period, so I was forced to go back to my old Desire, and to be honest, after upgrading to UHS-I class card, I am surprised how fast this thing can be.
