Tried to flash build 11, but somehow GApps never showed up and the Home button didn’t work—neither the actual button nor the navbar softkey. Tried two consecutive install, full wipe each time. Has that happened to anybody else?
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I flashed Build 11, works like a charm, but only in this order:

(allways) backup old ROM with Nandroid (+ BackupSMS (SMS Backup&Restore) and list of calls (Rerware MyBackup root) +Nova-Launcher Backup)

Whipe all but SD-Card

install ROM

Restart

Boot into Recovery and flash Roboto font (if wanted)

Restart

(Add WiFi Key, so you can easiely download Apps after GAPP)

Run A2SD script

Restart

Boot into Recovery and install GAPPS

Restart

Type in your GMail Acc.

Wait half an hour to download you Apps... (+ Restore SMS (SMS Backup&Restore) and list of calls (Rerware MyBackup root) +Nova-Launcher Backup)

Benefit of this order is: As soon as you restarted with GAPPS, Android will download your Apps. For that you need WiFi and A2SD installed.:cowboy:
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
I use always this, which works like a charm:

- into recovery

- wipe all but sdcard

- install rom, install gapps, install white nav buttons, install Beats, install no hardware buttons.

- wipe cache

- boot, and setup account. Install Beat with terminal.

- open Play Store, download mounts2sd and titanium backup.

Set up mounts2sd and after install all apps with titanium backup.

No. The slim version will work with: data++, stock, and sense. (anything that has a system>170mb)

Have the same problem with version 11.

With and without full wipe the home button did not work (softkey did not work either)

I slimmed the ROM built 11 by myself (as always) but once installed ROM and gapps, it doesn't present the usual guided introduction (where you can insert your gmail account) at the first start.

[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
Is it me or has the build number not been updated in the 11 version.

It has a different build time but the same build number.
[Desire Android Development] younoob:
great

Slim Build11 works great with data++ hboot. No need of a2sd anymore for me, good performance, stable so far. That's exactly what I wanted for my Desire. I just remark that the ROM I wanted has been delivered 42 months after I bought the phone, by a teenager; I would have expected to get it at purchase time, by the publicly traded HTC with market cap counting in billions.
[Desire Android Development] Christoph21x:
I agree - and want to emphasize that "teenager" isn't meant negatively... just the opposite.

Is there any possible way to make AOSP Helper (a tool in Juice Defender to gain even more new functions) compatible with Chromium?
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
I tried, but nothing changed ...
[Desire Android Development] jgmccabe:
Oh - I was working from the start of the thread so downloaded build 11 and the GAPPS stuff and followed the instructions. I presume that the "it's unnecessary" comment means doing that won't cause problems (as opposed to "DON'T DO IT") :) If you get a chance, it might be worth updating the OP with this info.

Text-To-Speech is the one that crashed on mine; presumably that's the same for everyone but...

Got to just add my thanks for your work. I've only been flashing ROMs on my Desire for a short time (this is only the 3rd after teppic74s pre-rooted stock GB and VJs recent MIUI one - which I didn't like much, looked too much like iOS!) but this one so far looks like it might be worth keeping (although I might have a go with the MildWild Sense one I think you mentioned - I like Sense, pity my main phone now has TouchWiz :)

One question though; the status bar icon colour is pretty horrible - I've looked around but can't see how to change it - is there a way?

Thank You

John
[Desire Android Development] jgmccabe:
Oh - and one more question!

I don't know much about UltraExplorer but I've used ES File Explorer a bit. A couple of features I use regularly in ES File Explorer are the FTP and SMB functions. I haven't spotted a way to do this in UltraExplorer though. Does anyone know if there is one or, if there isn't, can I uninstall it just by force stopping it, clearing its data/cache and removing the apk from /system/apps?

Thanks

John
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I thought i changed it but maybe not. Anyone else?

Thanks for the kind words. That was indeed my goal with the slim version: to make it compatible with a better hboot so that a2sd was not necessary, thus increasing performance even more.

Actually i did update the OP. The post of mine that you are talking about is kind of wrong and deceiving. I had originally tried to make it so that gapps were included in the rom (ONLY THE SLIM VERSION) so that you didnt have to flash anything additional, but i screwed something up so IT IS NECESSARY TO FLASH THE GAPPS WITH THE SLIM VERSION. Oh and for the full version you need to flash them too, but i think that's obvious and doesnt need any clarification.

These icons?! Holo blue? Its a nice color imo, but if you want to change it you can use theme chooser themes, or xposed modules such as Xblast tools.

I dont really use UltraExplorer normally so im not sure about how to do all that stuff (i only included it because i find it useful to have a file explorer after a fresh install, and it was the only decent open source one i could find that had lots of functionality). To remove it, just delete it from /system/app
[Desire Android Development] jgmccabe:
Ah ok - no worries then.

Err - yes - those icons - no offence meant and that; I guess it's one of those personal things :) I'll take a look at the xblast stuff.

Fair enough. I agree it's nice to have a file explorer and can understand your reasoning. It's nice that I can just delete it though!

Many thanks for your reply and your efforts.

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
No offence taken. I didnt make the icons...the highly qualified android ui design guys did.

But i personally think they look pretty nice. :)

note about USB-Tethering: it crashes 'System UI' :(
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
Crashes for me too. Can it be solved? Or should I disable it? How?

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

Anyone got tethering working? How?
[Desire Android Development] younoob:
Could you briefly describe what was wrong about it? Thx

Those icons are number one reason to install CM and leave any Sense stock ROM!

As for the rest

-Since build 10, WifiAP (hotspot) is rather instable. Sometimes it keeps turning on and off continuously, and I have to reboot to fix this.

-Now, when turning on USB storage it keeps telling me that some app is using SD-card and it may misbehave if I force the mount. A bit annoying

The system is more stable than before, for me. No reboot, nothing. The 'lockscreen policy' app you linked is also a must.
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
Right then I will redownload and test again.
[Desire Android Development] AcidWeb:
Great job. ROM is working very well but I found one small glitch - CalendarProvider is missing from your GApps package. That break ANY calendar sync. Even if you install google one from market.
[Desire Android Development] Christoph21x:
Not here... calendar sync works as expected... even with more than one calendar...
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
again tried to get wireless tethering running, with no success on both bluetooth (connects but no internet) and wifi.

When i activate Mobile Hotspot in settings it shows an AP but just instantly deactivates again.

I also tried different versions of Wifi Tether, with different settings, but without success (no AP). Using setup method 'Native Framework Tether' it tries to start above Mobile Hotspot function with same result.

Chromium_: any ideas on this matter? Seems like people got wifi tether working in other 4.2 ROMs...

PS. oh wait, younoob got it working? How?

IMHO thats normal, this message always appeared on every ROM.

PPS. ok, rebooted phone, turned on Mobile Hotspot and it stays on. And it is working :) Cant check for long-term stability tho until i got a new data plan.

Hi Folks,

thank you, chromium, for this rom, gave my old desire to my girl and it's running nearly perfect so far, WAF (Womens Acceptance Factor) is high and she likes it very much.

One little problem: when turning into landscape the left (in this position lowest) softkey (the back one) disappeares or nearly disappeares and isn't touchable any more. Searched the thread and found nothing, i go on and search other rom-with-softkey-threads for this tiny problem, but if anyone knows a solution, THANKS in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I think I saw a commit somewhere on github that fixes this. When I'm free I'll try to find it and compile a new build, but at the moment I'm too busy.

Right I redownloaded the build 11 and the build number shows 11.

Text-2-speech is crashing when you try to use it. (Deleting /system/media/video) did not solve that problem. I am going to search XDA for a solution

Edit:

I think I have a work-a-round for the issue.

Install google search. (I had to install it / deinstall it so if does not work the first time try again)

Build 11 is the best JB ROM ever I've used. I'm using it with nova launcher and PurePerformance FX. And it is working smooth. Also I haven't faced with any bug up to now :cyclops: Keep up good work :good:
[Desire Android Development] user_x:
Same here with build 11.
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
Does it change so much from build 10? I used it until yesterday, but the continuous slowdowns and reboots forced me to change mod... But still, I found JB roms not so much suitable for at least my Desire (with sd class 4 mobile ultra).
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
I don't know what is changed. But I can summarize my rom installation experience like that: install a jb rom, slow downs, fcs, then wipe that and see a miui jb rom then install that, then pops up another bugs, then wipe that too, and see antoher jb rom, it continues until I decide to return a gingerbread sense rom. The gb roms are smooth and bugless, but they are old, sometimes you can't install new apps. So I continued to try jb roms. Lastly I've installed build 11. And I saw somewhere that someone suggest to install nova and pure performace fx to jb rom. I did that, and I very happy for now. I didnt faced any problem up to now.:cyclops:
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
You seem to have had the exactly same experience I had! :highfive:

So thank you, since build 10 worked fine for me (even if I've found the old VJ 6.2 a little better), I will try build 11...

I never encouraged, nor used these mods. They're just a slight improvement in the first few days, but make the phone slow on a long term.

Slim 11 - not workingfor me: calendar sync, and torch.

I tried installing normal 11, couple of times, always end up with gapps not installing correctly, no wizard starting up.

Can't seem to copy setupwizard.apk to system/apps, or doing something wrong.

I always do a full wipe.

Guess i have to go back to lagy, and restarting 10, or other rom.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Its slimmed so that stuff is removed. If you want them back, copy the apk's into system/app.[/QUOTE]

Something's wrong on your end. I tested this rom (full wipe, flash rom, flash gapps) and had no issues pertaining to gapps not working...
[Desire Android Development] oskargalka:
I try upgrading from 10 see how it works.
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
2 things:

1) APN for web.vodafone.de is wrong! username and password should be "" (empty) not "none"... :silly:

i wonder whats the source for the APNs? CM?

2) Today I realised when I switch on the LED Torch the CPU usage goes 100% because /system/bin/mediaserver goes nuts.

Even worse: when phone goes standby, the LED switches off (although torch says its still on), still the mediaserver continues to drain battery until I switch off Torch manually.

Chromium_ i hope you can have a look into this and maybe find a fix?
[Desire Android Development] Devenda:
I just installed your ROM and most seems to run fine but I have encountered this problem:

Downloading and installing the Google Keyboard succeeds, swiping in English works but swiping in Dutch doesn't. It seems to be a problem with the ROM because it worked perfectly in VJ CM10.1 ROM.

I also noticed that the on board keyboard supports swipe in Dutch (but I like the google keyboard better).

[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
I'm trying to install build 11 with a 1,5 gig ext4 partition. I do the same things, install rom, install gapps and navigation buttons. But everytime now when I try to install something from the Play Store or restore from Titanium Backup it says insufficient space.

Mounts2sd is installed correctly and Titanium Backup says that I have 94 mb free on system-rom, intern 144 mb free, and a2sd 1,45 gig free.
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
94mb free on /system? I have deleted a lot of files and 'only' have 24mb free now. Doesn't it say 9.4mb? ;)

Still I have same problem with bigger apps (at the moment swiftkey). Other big apps do update though, i dont get it...
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
I wish it were a read fault, but I slimmed the ROM so much it is actually very small. The 94 mb free is correct, even 104 mb free now. 4ext recovery sees no errors and titanium backup and android itself sees enough free space, but when I try to install apps with titanium and or google play store I get that notification and install is aborted. Even when I install a new ROM. This all happened when I made my 4ext partition 1,5 gig instead of the 1 gig...
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
I have the same problem: when I try to install titanium backup (I disinstalled an older version in order to install a recent one) it appears a message that I haven't enough space to install it.

I have 58% free space into internal memory of the phone and more than 400 MB free into ext4.

What happen?
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
OK, even when I put a backup back, I still get the notification of insufficient free space.

This is what I do:

- Go the recovery --> Make partition. 1500m/skip/skip

- Set up ext4 partition.

- Put SD-card in my computer to put install files on it (Chromium+GAPPS+ couple of zip files from Chromium.

- Install these in ext4 recovery (first full wipe)

- After install wipe cache+dalvik

- Reboot

- Set up Play Store and download Mounts2SD and Titanium Backup.

- Set up Mounts2SD and select all to move to ext4/SD-Card

- Reboot

That's what I normally do without any problems. Except now...

This is with installing backup, so all apps are allready installed (about 100 apps or so). But when I try to update apps or download them in Play Store, or from backup, I get error message about space. This also happens when I don't have apps installed, so a clean install from ROM.
[Desire Android Development] T-Rrexx:
Thanks for the ROM that seems to be the best of JB ROMs :)

The only bug I found is that video doesn't record. But photo works well.

Chromium_, thanks a lot for this ROM!

I just wanted to let you guys know, in case you're interested, I flashed the 250/5/182 custom HBoot, and build 11 Normal is working fine for me.

I tried the 11 Slim first with stock HBoot, but I had a few issues with the Calendar (that other people have mentioned a few pages back), and with A2SD (moving dalvik-cache to the sd-ext caused boot to get stuck on the bootanimation).

Since I don't need to use that many apps, 182 MB is working ok, and I don't need A2SD for the moment.

Thanks again!

Well, I downloaded the apk file, and put in in /apps so when I rebooted, the app installed itself. Unfortunatly without the desired effect. Still sufficient disk space. My guess is that a partition or something is locked or so..

General question for people - how much 'freezing' do you get with this ROM?

I've tried both this and VJ's JB ROM on two different Desires and on both phones I regularly find the phone completely freezes for minutes at a time.

Is this normal? If not, I guess I need to invest in a different micro SD card!
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
It's "normal" if you are in a place with poor signal and mobile data on. It seems that in that condition the phone become unstable. It's an issue of all evervolv JB based roms. WoH said it will look at that. In the future. :)
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
Everything is working for me. If it didn't I found a alternative and installed it. There is no list as far as I know. If someone wants to make it, I suggest a list of issues in the default-rom and a list of working alternatives.

I'm very happy :) with this ROM. :good: I'm using it for about 2 months now.:)
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Since Chromium_ doesnt reply to these problems, i tried around today to find what goes wrong. I still have no idea but i fixed it by deinstalling play store updates. After that i started it and it kept updating apps right away, even big crapps like G+ (27mb) and Google Search (20mb). Havent tried TB before and now though.

Hope it works for you too guys!
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Chromium_ on account of this, does this ROM use ChainsDDs or Koush's superuser? I hope theres a fix soon...
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
It uses Koush's superuser. I think I'll make a little update at some point with this fix along with some KitKat stuff in it. (the rom wont actually be kitkat based, but it will have some of the new kitkat stuff in it)

In the meantime you can get the zip to flash koush's updated supersu from here.
