After more than one week I can say few words about this ROM, overall is fantastic.

:good: In plus:

- fast, even with different launcher, themes, few apps in background.

- smooth, yeah.

- responsive.

- working camera without any major issues.

I can't say that rom is 100% stable because I had few random soft reboots during this week, like when phone was connected to laptop via USB or whlie calling to someone... Yeah, that is annoying, also low notification sound issue, data drops, unstable wifi tethering (soft reboot helps).

However, I'm very satisfied with this software :) Even more than satisfied. I don't experience any battery drain, maybe other roms are characterized by lower energy apetite, but my previous daily driver also, a very good ROM Cyanomod 4.2.2 was more battery demanding.

I really, really think that [MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION] should work on this piece of software, it's one of the most worth recommending ROM for desire on XDA.

I agree on both :good::good:

OK so for those wanting my source, I've spent the last hour trying to push my modified repos to github and unfortunately I've failed miserably. Apparently my brain is incompatible with github.

So what im getting to is: would you guys mind if instead of using github I zip up the repos and upload to some other file hosting site like mediafire or something? I know it's quite a sketchy bootleg solution, but github confuses me. :(

Dear Chromium_

I think I can speak for many people and I offer my server for your upload / no ad, no fees, no limitations or speed throttle... just download ;)

Contact me directly pls.

Maybe any of us could care for a Github Repository to go on with you fabulous work.

I suggest to coordinate within this/your thread.

Thank you Chromium for this ROM: is very good, only a couple of soft reboots.

I'm using it since a week and it works great! Very smooth!

I noticed 2 problems that are in common with vj's ROM, so maybe it can be attributed to jelly bean version:

1- during a call I can't use internet connection: I can't navigate or I can't use any app that need internet connection (it appears "no internet connection" message) although there is the 3g/H symbol near the blue signal indicator. When the call ends, everything works again;

2- when I activate the gps, the phone loses internet signal for a couple of minutes: the signal bar becomes grey and 3g/H symbol disappear. In this way the GPS need more time to fix.

3- Yesterday I also noticed that the phone doesn't go in roaming mode (just for call, not for internet connection) unlike other ROM as vj's one. Maybe I have to activate something from settings?

All this issues are known issues or they are only mine?

Are there solutions?

Thank you...for all your work!

P.S. I'm using the last radio 5.17.05.23.

Another bunch of bugs I noticed:

- flashlight works only when screen is on (tesla app from market works fine but doesn't have lockscreen widget)

- MMS are not being sent by message app (pending status all the time)

- temporary 3g/data drops

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION]

I got one wish, if there will be any new build, could You replace stock keyboard with google keyboard, I know they are some legal issues but stock without polish dictionary is useless and any market swype or swift makes device working really slow.

Thanks! U da man :) :highfive:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Will do.
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
What about my questions?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ive got no idea to be honest. I never use those things that you use, so i cant really test or fix much.
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
OK...so...do you never go on internet during a call?

Thanks for the answer!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Nope. I dont even call very often. I just use my phone for texting and browsing the internet on wifi.

I dont use cellular data, gps, tethering, or any other of those types of things.
[Desire Android Development] 266K:
lol, bare in mind our Desire is quite old by today standard.. I m very happy it is on 4.2.2, where data , gps , wifi ..etc all works when I need it to. ;)
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Even on 4.3 all this stuff works thanks to Evervolv team.
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Instead of building a new build with 4.3, Chromium can use his time for smoothing this rom, because this one is as stable as a rock.

When he does use 4.3 he has to begin from scratch and there will be many bugs.

So I'm asking, please stay at 4.2,because it's almost perfect.

Send from my beautiful destroyer
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
Yes,I know our desire is quite old and it's a miracle to have 4.2.2 ROM!

I only want to know if issues I wrote are in common with everyone or are only mine.

[Desire Android Development] 266K:
when I was browsing in-coming call came in, I had no problem of answering the call. I was able to go back browsing after the call. a couple of times without any problem. :D
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
I think it's not possible at all. Voice+3g seems to work only to phones that have the hardware to do so. Stating at what I found on the internet, it seems that you can use internet while calling on phones with LTE and (not sure) CDMA.
[Desire Android Development] Pai Mei:
Are you sure?

If I remember well, I was able to do it with cm 7...but I can wrong :D
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
It works.

Since 2005 I've been testing 3G networks and phones, this is usual feature since then.

But if you are on GSM, voice has prio over data traffic,and then data is stopped if you make a voice call.

It is not related to OS of the phone.

Hope it's clear.
[Desire Android Development] 266K:
I paid attention to the data signal when call came in today, it was off, confirm. Data auto reconnect back when call ended..:o

No need, I figured everything out. Uploading my modified repos as we speak :)

http://github.com/Chromium-

Update: Just finishing up with the last (and biggest) repo, frameworks/base. Its around 1gb and my upload speed is pretty bad, so it should be a few more hours.

Update2: Git is failing midway when i push frameworks base (probably since its so big). Looking into a solution now.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Alrighty, i switched over to ssh from https and it worked perfectly. All of my repos with changes are now available on my github.

[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Hi Chromium,

one thing i miss in this ROM is the ability to keep the LED torch on when the screen is switched off. IT used to work in other ROMs, e.g. VJ's, when the device went in standby the LED was switched off and immediatly on again. Would be nice if you could get this working too :)

At the moment i can only use the torch when screen is kept on, which bears the risk to unwillingly touch the screen and do bad things...

Exchange Calendar sync !?!? :confused:

Hello,

I have this strange thing...

At my work we use Outlook/Exchange. In my accouts I added an Exchange account. I want to sync calendar, contacts and email. Contacts and email sync work great and are showing up. But it seems I cann't get calendar sync working. The exchange calendar is simply not showing up in any calendar app. (default, aCalendar, Business Calendar, Week Calendar.....)

What could be the course of not showing.

In accounts calendar is checked and synchronised. In the default Calendar app --> settings--> the account is visible but when I try to add it to calendars it says "No calendar"

I had the same issue in VJ 6.3 but in VJ 5.4 everything was working fine....

Its very frustrating and I have to double my appointments in outlook and on my phone in the calendar. :( :confused:

Any clues? What could be the cause? Any solutions?

It's driving me crazy.....
[Desire Android Development] schlork:
I don't know, if this can help you, because your IT people at work will not be happy about such a solution. Apart from that, the solution I have installed is to sync everything with google (contacts and calender). I use google account as the interface between outlook and my mobile Android devices and this works perfectly.

@ Chromium: Until now I'd installed VJ's ROM's and was almost satisfied, But your ROM is perfect! My old Desire is now as good as my brand new Galaxy S4. Thank you so much!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Hey guys, I compiled a build yesterday with hardware acceleration enabled, and I also merged all of the build 10 hotfixes that others and I have provided over the last couple of months. Basically just a more refined version of build 10. I'll upload it in a few hours, so hopefully a some of you can test it out and give me some feedback as to whether or not I should release it as build 11. Thanks :)

[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
First of all thanks. I want to ask you if you merged also new codes from evervolv like this or oldest dalvik footprint and bionic optimization for qsd8k (that WoH also used IIRW). I guess that with those and WoH full hwa for small ram devices it would be a great rom. Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yep, Ive merged most of WoH's commits, but not that evervolv one.

Have you noticed any improvements in roms that use it?
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
I am now on Evervolv 4.3 and the build after that surfaceflinger commit is very smooth. Transitions and animations do not have any lags.

Btw Evervolv contains some bugs, for the lack of a mantainer, instead the WoH's paranoid is full working (well only camcorder but we all know) but is a different rom (gui, halo, etc).

edit: woh github has got surfaceflinger commit and bionic opt, I don't know about dalvik footprint. So i you merged his commits you should have that too
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ok ill add that commit and recompile. Hopefully it works with 4.2 :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Its not working well. Some of the files that i need to change are non existent in 4.2 source, and if i only change what is available the build breaks. I guess I'll just release what I've got so far, unless someone has any last minute commit request?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ok here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?acz094wuvzcpcnk

Please let me know how it is in terms of smoothness and stability (compared to build 10), and if there are any major bugs. Thanks :)

Changes:

-Fixed tearing

-Hardware acceleration

-A few graphic changes

-Camera improvements

Do you have a release log sort of? :)

Does GPS work good with this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Works great.

Tonight I'm going to install Build 11. I'll let you all know how that one works :)
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Alright, here is a first impression while he is installing all my apps with titanium backup (90 apps, so it will take a while :p).

- no more screen tearing

- smoother than other builds so far, but definite verdict will be after full install.

- quicker than other builds, but I can say this for sure after full install, but for now is the feeling with the rom great.

- great response time, no more lag, while typing this and Titanium Backup on background i installing

So I guess this is a very, very stable version.

Thank you so much for your effort to make this rom legendary! :D

Google process crashes 2 times after reboot, every time

YouTube movies play less smooth than previous builds. Now it's more like photos are glued together, every frame has a small hiccup.

Overall it's really smooth with Apex Launcher, mounts2sd, Xposed modules and about 90 other apps. No crashes whatsoever with intense use. I'll keep you posted after a full day use.

So far no (large) bugs, only youtube a bit laggy, and Google gapps crashing 3 times (have to press OK 3 times while he is loading my apps)

Is this version also a bit larger than previous builds? Because now I get sometimes that I have insufficient internal space when updating an app, while with build 10 I didn't have that.

Overall a good build, and hopefully you can fix those things, and you have a very great rom for daily use.

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
No its about the same size as build 10. Not too sure why your were having that issue. Did you activate a2sd?

Im compiling build 11 now, and ill also provide a slimmed version that can fit on a more optimized hboot so that you have more space.

Also im going to briefly test this build before i upload it.

Hmm not sure what the issue is, but i just tested build 11 and the problem doesnt seem to be present.

You need to delete: system/bin/a2sd and system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd

______________________________________________________

New Build is Up:

Changes include hardware acceleration, camera improvements and various other fixes. (full list can be found in the OP)

I have also created a Slim All in One version, which can fit inside of the data++ hboot leaving you with a respectable 252mb for app data. The GApps are included, so DO NOT flash an extra gapps package...its unnecessary.

I briefly tested both the full and slim version (full wipes for both) and there did not seem to be any big problems. The full version had one google thing (cant remember exactly what it was) crash on the first boot setup. Other than that, there were no other crashes or force closes. Also I thought I'd let you guys know that I personally found the slim version a bit snappier than the full version. It might have just been a placebo, but it did feel somewhat smoother than when I flashed the full.

So yea...download links are in the OP. Currently there are only mediafire links, but I'll add some DevHost and AndroidFileHost mirrors at some point. Let me know if you have any questions and enjoy :D
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
I'm trying the slim version, but he won't make contact with play store. Wifi works great (can sign in with my gmail), but when I open Play store he saids cannot connect. Even after reboot :confused:

ps. In slim version there isn't a setup wizard when you start the rom for the first time.

[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Second try:

- Play Store doesn't work, even with the fix. Saids 'Can't connect', when WiFi and 3G works.

- When I select Advanced Restart he won't save those options, cause I can't select Reboot in Recovery in Power Menu.

This is with the slim version.

-edit- I installed Gapps small from your OP and now everything works
[Desire Android Development] g1b50n:
well i did everything like in description, i know, maybe it is a test or beta project, but i have soft reboot everytime when i want to restore apps from titanium backup or when i want install some apps from google play, like dropbox. I did wipe cache/davick after fresh install, also install a2sd, maybe i didn't sth other? Rom looks great, but nothing more - for me.

1st: thanks to Chromium for this fantastic ROM! :)

Then, question to everybody: I've just loaded (using the PB99IMG method) the data++ hboot and then, after all the necessary full wipes, but without rebooting since I was fearing that v10 would get stuck anyway with only 165Mb of system memory, I flashed the Slim ROM.

Well... Since then, I'm staring at the android booting logo... :'-( Anybody experiencing issues with data++ hboot and the slim ROM? TNX for your feedback!

UPDATE: I've switched to the "sense" hboot (180/40/217) and now I'm able to install the slim ROM. Strange, though, thought that 5Mb of cache would be enough... it's a pity to waist 35Mb... So the question indeed remains: is there anybody able to install the Slim ROM with the data++ hboot? TNX
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
Tried Build 11 also and I cannot get it going.

Tried with and without Full wipe.

After each boot the message android is upgrading is run and my settings have gone.

The build does seem to be faster. I will try later with some more steps to try and pinpoint the problem

Chromium, in the slim version you forgot to add calendar sync. Now I had to pull calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk from the other build 11 and put it in this one. Gmail and hotmail calendar now sync, but haxsync calendar won't appear in my Google calendar. I didn't have this problem with previous builds.

For other people who want to install the slim version: flash also the gapps (I used the core version) otherwise you won't get the setup wizard, and you can't download from Play Store.

Put calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk in your Rom. I noticed that if you move them after install to /system/app they won't work.

And Youtube movies are a bit laggy, with stutters.

Otherwise awesome rom, very fast and stable :)

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Sorry everyone for the issues with the slim version.

So if you flash the gapps from the op on top of the slim version everything is fixed, correct?

Also has anyone been successful running the slim version with the data++ hboot? I saw someone a few pages back was having issues, but im not sure what the problem is. The system size is only 165mb and data++ allocates 180mb to system, so i can figure out why it wouldnt work.
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
About the gapps is correct. Are you looking into the calendar app, cause I think I just miss one apk file which is linked to the 2 I stated above.
