Yes, ext4 1.5Gb.

Shall I flash these GApps after activating a2sd ?

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Can the recovery be the problem ?

What recovery and HBoot do You use ?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Could be. I use twrp and stock hboot.

Sent using xda-developers app
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
When the installation hangs, reboot recovery and check the space left on /system. If it's 0, that's the problem.. You'll probably need a hboot with more system space.
[Desire Android Development] eryunt:
I have stock HBOOT, don't know what to think...
[Desire Android Development] eryunt:
Tried to flash different GApps.zip versions, even a PlayStore.zip but no success...

Flask goes OK (mount /System and copying files, then on reboot the process of app optimization starts), recovery gives confirmation of the success flash but no apps are shown in the drawer...

What could be wrong?

[Edit]: changed the recovery to 4Ext...same results :(
[Desire Android Development] Krowne:
What's your the total space of the system?
[Desire Android Development] eryunt:
How to verify it?

Thanks :)

[Edit]: foud it: system=250MB; data=150MB; cache= 40MB
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
Im not sure but try changing ur hboot to data++.

I dont know if it works with Cm7r2 hboot.. haven't tried it..

Also, i would format the card and make a new ext4 partition with 4ext recovery
[Desire Android Development] Krowne:
Slim version with the version of gapps on the first page you should work perfectly, but be sure to format system and data first.
[Desire Android Development] Rataplan626:
I have stock hboot (i guess), formatted everything and repartitioned my sd card through 4ext recovery. System 250MB, data 150MB, cache 40MB. I have a 1GB ext4 partition. When I install build 11, without installing anything additional like gapps, I only have 11.2MB left on System. I can't flash the gapps anymore, as they will always go to system I guess, and they are always > 11MB so my system partition runs out of space and gapps won't work. I am using the gapps from the op.

Should we install a hboot which allows >250MB system, does that exist at all or are there other things I am doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] uriah18:
Did you execute step 8. from instructions (install a2sd)?
[Desire Android Development] Rataplan626:
Yes I have certainly done so. However, using the settings in OP it moved dalvik which is pretty much empty after a clean flash so that won't make much free space.

How big are you guys' system partitions?

[edit]

I just saw there is a slim-edition too, only 165mb in size. That makes more sense. Trying that now.

[edit2]

It's working now, thanks. However, it's pretty slow on my device, even after flashing the supplied boot.img. I'll look into that tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Hi Chromium_,

is this ROM still under development? Do you have any idea for the LED torch light bug?

Regards
[Desire Android Development] Krowne:
The lantern bug was before, so here it is not quenched.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Currently its not under development as I'm busy with finishing my first semester (exams, university entrance essays, etc.), but once next semester starts and the school work eases up a bit I'll try to release something (hopefully kitkat).

For now however, I'm planning on having my account temporarily disabled so that I can focus on school. It will be reopened at the beginning of February, so goodbye until then :)
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Good luck with the exams then :)
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I use this ROM since it is new... and have to say the build 11 is superb. The only issues are well known on all 4.x ROMs.

What should be developed in this ROM?

- Camera -> Lack of drivers (Qualcomm? HTC?)

- Reboots -> depends on kernel i think

- 3G loss -> same here

What benefits does KitKat have? I rather would use a stable 4.2 than a experimental 4.4.

With 5.0 Android an update is getting more interesting because it will be less hardware consumpting.

Good luck with exams and thanks for your awesome work !
[Desire Android Development] aelfinn:
I haven’t had a single reboot or any other issue for three straight weeks running Nikez’ 4.4 ROM. No 4.2 or 4.3 ROM was ever that stable for me. Or that fast, for that matter.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
for real? Hard to believe ;)
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
Hello!

I was wondering if this rom supports swap memory, and if yes, what would be the best setting for it?

Im using:

- slim version

- data++ hboot

- v6 supercharger script

- a2sd install - y - y - n

- a2sd xdata

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] bbgmp:
Just installed this rom yesterday. So far like the responsiveness and fixes some performance issues I was facing with a different CM 10.1 rom.

Only issue I'm consistently facing is around barcode scanner closing at startup. Any update on what might be causing this and whether there are plans to fix? I'm guessing not due to Chromium's account being frozen. Are there any work-arounds which allow users to scan barcodes with our phones?
[Desire Android Development] raisage:
I believe Google Goggles works, but there are many barcode scanning apps in the Play Store. You may need to try a few and see what works.
[Desire Android Development] bbgmp:
Many thanks for the response. Why this didn't come to me initially is a mystery. :silly:
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Seems a dead battery. A Rom can't discharge a whole battery in a minute!

I used this Rom for months without any battery issue. That graph show a battery problem in my opinion.

Yea looks like a battery problem to me. Try reverting those performance settings and see if the issue persists.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Anyone available for some testing? Ive got a fresh kitkat beanstalk build :D

Edit: After me and some others tested, it is indeed working. I will release soon.
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
If u need any other testers I'm game?
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Cant wait the release. If you still want testers though, count me in.
[Desire Android Development] rabies876:
I how love to test but I'll be of no help using Nexus one but if by chance your planning nexus one release am here waiting.

Nexus One using xda app
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
[MENTION=5154992]tommypacker[/MENTION] has already successfully ported it to the nexus one so you can expect to see it shortly after I release for the desire.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Interesting, why have you gone with beanstalk for your next project? I'm guessing it improves customisation over the Evervolv 4.4 build?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Well I had a few options:

1. I could continue with CM. But spei77 already did that, and I'm also not really a fan of CM anymore. I find that they are somewhat overrated and they dont offer that much in terms of customization.

2. I could do a pure stock android build with absolutely no extra features. It would be perfect xposed, but i decided not to do this. Seemed to boring, and I dont think many people would like it

3. I could pick a ROM that has tons of customizability. AOKP, SlimKat, Liquid Smooth, Carbon, Beanstalk. I decided to go with Beanstalk since its heavily based on CM, meaning that it would be a bit easier to build for. (since spezi77 had already released his source for cm11).

Since Ive got limited time due to school and still wanted to produce something somewhat original, the 3rd option seemed the best. And yes, beanstalk greatly improves customization over Evervolv. Though I dont think that Evervolv's goal is to have too many features. But ya, beanstalk literally has TONS of options. Pretty much anything that is currently available in the kitkat custom rom scene, they've got it merged.
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
A penny on Nexus 5/CAF story!:p
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
A stock rom version of this rom would be amazing. I use Xposed now with about 15 modules, so a clean rom would be amazing.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
The Evervolv 4.4 ROM I think is pretty close to stock, so maybe try that.

What Xposed modules do you use?
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Yeah, I guess that the Evervolv Roms are pretty close to stock.

The following Xposed modules are on my phone right now, and working:

- App Settings (using this for Folder Organizer and LMT for keeping them active always)

- Bootmanager

- Crappalinks

- Enable BatteryStats Permission

- GPSNotification

- GoogleOfflineVoices

- GravityBox

- Greenify

- JellyToast

- Physical Button Music Control

- RemoveUSBStorageWarning

- Show dialpad

- Smooth System Progress Bars

- Youtube AdAway
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
Does it mean,

Build 11 = CM10.1, and

Build 11 Slim = Beanstalk + Kitkat 4.4.2 + CM11?

Can you provide more changelog from Build 11 to Build 11 Slim?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Sorry for the confusion. I shouldnt have mixed this thread up with beanstalk stuff. This thread/rom has nothing to do with beanstalk.

All builds here are CM10.1. Only difference between build 11 and build 11 slim is that i had removed some stuff from the rom in order to make it smaller and able to fit on data++ hboot.
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
I have been looking for a kitkat rom that is stable and fun to play with.

I will watch this space for your upcoming Beanstalk rom. :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ive already released it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651790

Ive been using it for a few days and its quite stables (no random reboots), and theres lots and lots of customization options.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
So, when Build 12? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Well, now that Ive released kitkat beanstalk I dont really see the point of continuing this project.

Unless you can convince me to with some good reasons ;)
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Well, You answered yourself to that question :D You want to make Build 12.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Lol wut? I dont get it :confused:
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Uhmm... I could say, people like it because it is stable, fast, smooth, chromium rom is a kind of brand like coca cola... etc, etc.

And what I wanted to say is that I don't have to convince You, because subconsciously u know reasons & u know the answer which is Yes, because u ****ing love it :) :good: Do You need a donation? I should got some free $ in couple of days.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Haha. Well donations are always appreciated, but by no means will I force you to donate in order for me to release an update. I guess I could do a build 12, but what do you want in it? I think I started theming it to look like KitKat a few months ago, but I haven worked with it for a while so I've forgotten what's been done so far. Would you be interested in that?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
It's easy to theme JB to look like KitKat (gazylion apps, themes from GP) but having it "out of the box" could be nice, especially fonts. There is no rush. Personally I would like to see build based on newest Cyanogenmod with all features from Chromium (I don't need features like pie controls or build in wallpapers, desire is my daily driver phone and most of the time I use it for calling and texting).
[Desire Android Development] ElimElim:
my desire gets stuck on the boot screen everytime any ideas how i can access my phone again?

tried clearing cache and stuff but nothing?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
What did you do to get it in a bootloop?
[Desire Android Development] ElimElim:
everytime the phone boots up it goes to the chromium rom animation and just stays there.

just started happening randomly. was working fine before.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Try reflashing the rom
[Desire Android Development] Christoph21x:
Hi ElimElim

For HTC devices you have to flash boot.img (inside the zip) separately (once again) through Odin, every time you change the ROM TYPE (means: development branch; switching from ROM name1 to ROM name2 - usually NOT, if you just update the version within one branch)

1. Flash the ROM (recovery)

2. Reboot the phone into download mode

3. Flash boot.img through Odin

4. Reboot

Hope, I could help & Greetz - Chris
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
No that's not necessary. When you flash the ROM via custom recovery the boot.img (kernel) is also flashed. Odin is completely unneeded here. I don't think it even works with this phone. Isn't it for samsung?
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
Odin? Thought this was for Samsung devices.

boot.img doesn't have to be flashed separately, at least if you're soff.
[Desire Android Development] Christoph21x:
Sorry, you're right - mixed it up, own several devices

FASTBOOT.

And [MENTION=653189]Chromium[/MENTION]: I had to do it using your ROM, then the loop was gone
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
CM 10.1.3 without ion?

Hi there Chromium. I would like to ask if you could make a 10.1.3 build and also not to include the ION JB kernel but the older pmem one? I have come to the conclusion that ion causes too much lag in transitions between windows compared to michaelm_007, where it's not used. I would love to have one build like I describe, in order to use it with 720p HWA video patch. Thanks in advance my friend. :fingers-crossed:

Can shift and extend system memory to install more apps? Other than a2sd...... possible for any int2ext, data2sd....etc? How? I am a beginner with this
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
You can use Mouts2SD (found on XDA and playstore)

I am using this on my HTC and it is working better than a2sd for me.

Flash the 2.3 PB99IMG RUU, then use revolutionary to s-off.
[Desire Android Development] jbhlaw78:

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ok I have just deleted my source for this rom, meaning that there will be no further updates. Build 11 is the final version.
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Sad to hear that, but hopefully you will give all your best to beanstalk builds. Keep up mate. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yeah thats what I intend to do :)
[Desire Android Development] zinconnu:
Wow, what a perfect ROM! I'm using it since 1 month, and no problem except sometimes internet data does not work. I have the "3G" or "H" logo in the notification bar, but no internet at all.

Is there a fix for this issue?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
New build has been added to the op. Ive also added the link to banks' minimal gapps, which i have thoroughly tested and can now confirm that they work great. You shouldnt have any issues like no lockscreen, or other stuff that everyone was mentioning. New system animations have been added, and i have resynced my repo with cm's.

Instructions on flashing:

-full wipe

-flash rom, then gapps

-wipe cache and dalvik

-boot up and open terminal emulator. Then run these commands:

su

a2sd install

y

[Desire Android Development] :
Everything works, but it may be a little bit slow, as for the animations.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yea the only issue I see now is the speed. Other than that it seems to be quite stable...I haven't had any soft reboots.

Sent using xda premium
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
New version added to the OP. It feels a bit faster, and a couple things are changed. Full wipe recommended, but you could probably get away with just wiping dalvik + cache if you are on the older version.
[Desire Android Development] Unexist6969:
Hmm getting symlink & permission error when installing (it installs fine until the ''creating symlinks & setting permissions comment)

And I'm using hboot bigger than 240mb system

Oooo nvm !:D

deleted ext4 partitions on sd card and now all is fine :)
[Desire Android Development] m3adow:
This looks quite promising. I'll slim it and then test it as a daily rom lateron today.

Some things I noticed:

- There seems to be a bug with German translation and Advanced Reboot. When I flashed the ROM the first time and activated Advanced Reboot, it didn't work, Reboot menu was the same. Since I normally choose English, I didn't follow it further. Worked after reflash

- It would be cool if you could change the default Security Settings for root (don't know the exact name) from "apps only" to "Apps & ADB"? It's way more comfortable when using a slimmed ROM the first time.

- Animations are on x1.5 scale by default. Is this intended?

I'll report back when I got more time to test the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] dariush_jab:
Softkey

Hi

I need softkeys for this Rom,many Roms has built in ,

Yes that was done purposely to enhance the look of the custom animations.

I'll put them in the next version.

More feedback:

I slimmed the ROM down so it fits on a 165 MB hboot, although some things had to be installed with ADB afterwards (like Keyboard, MMS, Browser). Furthermore I use Link2SD for all Apps except my most used ones and Foldermount for two Apps with big libs since I think this combination is the most useful App2SD solution.

Pros:

- It's way more stable than the one I used before (VJ CM10.1 v6.3). I didn't have any soft or hard reboots yet.

- Really responsive. Could be the Link2SD since my most used Apps are on internal now, but my Desire feels really smooth now.

- Did I mention that it's really responsive and smooth without reboots or BSODs?

Cons:

- The new font isn't satisfying. It's hard to read and some symbols are just not shown (e.g. the stars in the description of Titanium Backup). I used the font of the original Evervolv Rom which is the original one I think. I can get the idea of a "cool font", but the lack of readability is too much.

- How can I disable the custom unlock button? I have to unlock it on the widget screen, then unlock it with the Custom unlock and afterwards enter my pin. Haven't yet found out if it's in the ROM or a setting I configured wrong.

- I couldn't get Openpdroid running with the ROM yet. Haven't had much time though.

To conclude: It's the most responsive, smooth and fast CM10.1 ROM I installed until today. In its momentary state its really recommendable although I would really recommend to custom change the system font. I hope to get Openpdroid running on it since Privacy guard is merely a real alternative.

Good work Chromium_ :good:
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Sounds really nice, I use VJ 6.3 actually too... will try this ROM soon.

How did you changed the fonts back to normal?
[Desire Android Development] yoko89:
build8 home-key not working

any help will be appreciated
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Thanks for the great review. I honestly think the fonts are quite readable but if you dont agree you can check out my font thread. There are a bunch of different

fonts that you can simply flash in recovery, or if you just want to revert to the stock android font you can find the download there as well. Maybe ill switch the fonts in the next release.

Download the Revert zip from here and flash it in recovery.

Its working fine for me. Did you do a full wipe and flash the recommended gapps from the op?
[Desire Android Development] yoko89:
yes i did i will re install the rom

---------

working graet now thx
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Which one is the default font?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
The link is at the bottom of the OP. It says "Revert to stock font" or something like that.

here you go

[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Ok, i just installed it, but i did a few changes:

-deleted Email App

-added Talk App (Hangout suxx, becuase i cant see who is online)

-deleted most Ringtones (for less memory use, around 10-15MB)

-> restored Default fonts

So far its really smooth compared with VJ 6.3 or cyanogenmod007... remind me a bit of the glorious VJ 3.1, which was fast too, but a bit buggy.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Glad you like it.

Im working on the next update but i seem to have somehow screwed up my repo causing SystemUI to continuously crash.

Hopefully i can sort this out soon.

Edit: Finally i fixed it :) I spent like 4 days looking through a bunch code and reverting all my changes...none of that worked, and a finally noticed i was simply missing a couple of drawables :mad: I must've accidentally deleted them somehow. Now ive got to re add all my changes, so expect the update in a couple more days.
[Desire Android Development] croccodillo:
Hello all,

I'm using the Chromium ROM for a week now, and couldn't be happier!

The ROM is really smooth, stable (no FCs up to now), and with a nice interface.

I really love the cleanliness of it, I do prefer its look over the majority of other ICS/JB ROM out there.

I tried almost all of the ICS/JB ROMS that are present on the forum, but being not satisfied with anyone, reverted always back to GB; this time, instead, I'm really happy with the ROM, and it is happily running on my phone and there will remain for a long time, I think.

Wonderful job you did here, thank you very much!!!

Two small question for all of you:

1. I'm not a fan of a2sd script, and thus tried to install CronMod's int2ext scripts; now way I could make them to work, anyone of them crashed the phone: I ended up with and endless boot or with an infinite sequence of FCs...

And yes, I tried the CronMod's wipe script, with no success at all.

So now I'm stuck to a2sd.

Anyone here using anything different from it?

Anyone has been able to install an run one of CronMod's scripts? Which one, and how?

Any better alternative to a2sd?

2. Is there a different kernel for the ROM, with more overclock and governors options?

As far as I remember, I was used to overclock my phone up to 1200 Mhz (and more) with old ROMs, and use different governors (Smartass); can I use them again with a dfferent Kernel?

Why all of the new ROMs are missing these nice features?

Ciao,

Giovanni
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
Should I switch from VJ 6.3 to this ROM. Is it stable. I have that realy irritating problem that I don.'t hear a notification when I recieve a message. LowSoundFixer doesn't fix that. There is not much development by VJ.

Does camera work? Video?

When will there be an update?

Battery live?
[Desire Android Development] windows7:
cool:good:
[Desire Android Development] tommypacker:
There'll be an update when an update is ready, don't rush developers. Video on all Jellybean Roms tend to be laggy and camera should work.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Used this ROM (Build 8) for a few days now.

It's similar to VJ 6.3. Its a bit smoother, but got the same problems:

-3G loss after leaving WiFi (~30% times)

-Some Softreboots

And i found a bug that is fixed in VJs ROM:

If you programm the hardware keys in Lockscreen, the LED Light went off if the display timed out.

In VJs ROM the LED stays on if the display go black.
