Is it common to have the restart after the a2sd install takes so long.

After I restart the phone took forever to boot. I took out the batery and restart in recovery and reflash.

I am currently using without installing a2sd.

Questions:

1. Would it cause me problem if i ran without a2sd?

2. If I later fix my problem can I still install a2sd even after I installed other apps.

3. Is it normal for the boot to take so long for the a2sd install? Should I just waited longer?

Thanks for any help.
[Desire Android Development] Mad Marty:
If you have already installed a number of apps it's normal that boot takes some time after installing a2sd. A2sd copies your apps to sd-ext during boot. It shouldn't be a problem to install a2sd later, it will just copy your apps during the reboot.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Stability

Responses from a few people would be appreciated:

- how many times does your phone freeze for a significant time on an average day?

- how many complete crashes (requiring battery removal) do you get on an average day?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] raisage:
When I first installed this ROM, I used the Slim version and tried A2SD, but my phone got stuck on the reboot. I had to wipe my sd-ext partition for it to work. I found that if I install A2SD and DON'T move the dalvik cache to the SD, then it booted fine. You should be fine without enabling A2SD, it's just that you will probably run out of space for installing apps, because the standard data partition size is very small (typically 147 MB).

Right now, I'm not using A2SD because I flashed a custom HBoot that made my Data partition a bit bigger, and it was enough for the apps I wanted to install.

TL;DR: You don't need A2SD unless you need more space to install apps (probably). If your phone freezes on the reboot, try to wipe the sd-ext, then maybe reinstall A2SD but choose NO when it asks if you want to move the dalvik cache.
[Desire Android Development] fr3akBut:
No freezes or crashes.... Sometimes a reboot is needed to make mobile data work after being connected to wifi, but apart from that, it's 100% stable for me and the apps I use.

:)
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
If I turn off mobile data before go to a place with poor signal, I can say I have 1 reboot every 2-3 days.

If I forget data on.. it's a hang. 100%!
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
No freezes here, it just reboots itself every some days.
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
No freeze, The occasional soft-reboot and New SIMcard detected
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Great, thanks all for the replies!

It must be a problem with the micro sd card then I guess, as it happens even when mobile data isn't active.

Do you all use class 10 cards? I was going to buy one then discovered class 4 can be faster for read/writing small amounts of data, where class 10 is optimised for large transfers.
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
But I have this problem also when I install a Rom from scratch. So only Rom and Gapps are on the phone, which would leave enough free space. But I solved it with a2sd install, although I find it strange that mounts2sd all of a sudden doesn't work.

I also have the feeling that a2sd and a2sd xdata makes the phone laggish while using mounts2sd I didn't had that feeling...
[Desire Android Development] jedi134:
Hi Im on the supernova rom, I belive this is mostly stock, so should I have the correct Hboot partitions ect? I already have ext partition, and I also have Alpharev S-off

Am I reday to go with this rom?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
- 0 freezes

- 3 or 4 reboots per day, probably I wouldn't notice them but I got android assistant app with startup notifications.

Also I know few ways how to force a reboot like when phone is plugged by usb to pc in storarge mode, pressing a trackball will cause a reboot :P - btw phone is still in storage mode, even during a reboot...weird.
[Desire Android Development] jedi134:
I can't get a2sd to work, titanium backup reports a Rom, a internal storage, a sd card and a sd-ext(a2sd) partition, so all looks ok, but I'm getting low memory error after installing 2 small apps......I think my apps are being installed to the rom, as only 36 kb left in there after 2 app install, I have 250mb system partition..

So after a few wipes and reinstalls the Rom gets stuck at 1st boot now, where I choose local language

Any ideas?

Could it be my previous data to SD scripts from my previous supernova Rom?

Or is this Rom just sh!t:confused:
[Desire Android Development] tom0769:
1st this rom is not "just sh!t:confused:"!!!!

After wiping and flasing this rom your previous scripts on /system/init.d are deleted since system is formatted (assumed you did full wipe).

Maybe blame your sd card.

Try reformatting and repartitioning from scratch with 4ext (or gparted on Ubuntu).

Other means of formatting and partitioning sd cards were alway buggy for me.
[Desire Android Development] jedi134:
I am ext4 all done using gparted....

I will try it again with screen shots when I get time...

The a2sd just does not work for me?..it seems all setup correctly the partitions are there, but apps won't install as there is insufficient storage space.....

Apps are being install to my system Rom partition by the looks of it.

Anyone else with insufficient storage errors, make a note of your system Rom free space, then install an app.......does ur Rom freespace go down?
[Desire Android Development] jedi134:
Well after more testing, it appears a2sd is working, and no apps were being installed to my Rom:o

Rom has stopped freezing too.

But random apps will not install either from SD card or from Google play store.

Some apps think Google services are not installed, (this is one of the apps that won't install). Play store app says its not installed, play store via web browser says it is installed?

Some apps think the screen is smaller than 800x480 and won't load?

Any ideas
[Desire Android Development] jubilleum:
bootloop:(

Hey!

Sooo:

- particoned my 2gb sd card with 4ext 1gb ext4, rest is fat32

- wipe everything

- instaled the rom,the gaps, and some addon from the first thread

- then installed the INT2EXT+

- and the phone only bootup one time, if i restarting again the resoult is bootloop.

Can anyone help me?:) THX!
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
What class is the sd-card? It might be too slow for INT2EXT+. Recommended are class 4 cards and above.
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
sdcard not mounted in ROM?

Hello,

anyone has installed this ROM with TWRP recovery?

Did it twice, two different downloads, all goes well from recovery.

after a reboot, system is ok, but with any file explorer, sdcard is not mounted.

Also, Gallery shows nothing and reports sdcard not present.

Partitioning is ok, Nikez/Evervolv ROM is my daily driver, and using a2sd there.

Could flashing from this recovery cause this, although it sounds this could not have any impact?

Br.
[Desire Android Development] jedi134:
I flashed mine from alpharev cwm recovery, seemed to flash ok, but still have lots of problems, could be sd card but I'm not changing my kingston 32gb class 10 for nobody....

Think its time to move on.....S3 mini I think:):beer:
[Desire Android Development] jubilleum:

[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Again I'm stuck with insufficient space when updating from play store. Tried uninstalling play store updates again but this time it didnt help...

weird. Does it still work for you, Chromium_ ?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Are you sure that you actually have enough space? Did you have this issue with build 10?
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Try to clean app cache with "App cache cleaner" from Play Store. It will free up some memory.

But the best thing maybe is to slim the rom a bit and install a hboot with more space on data.
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
I dont see where there would be not enough space. I have 20+mb free on system, used to be more than enough. Every other partition has a lot more free:

/system 22,8 MB

/cache 38,6 MB

/data 23,4 MB

/data/app = /sd-ext 163 MB

Shouldnt that be enough for an 8mb app update?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
System and cache partitions dont affect this at all. All that really matters here is the /data and /sd-ext partition, and the problem seems to be the data partition. Although you have 23.4mb free, its still quite low. Ive experienced the same issues when i have less than 25mb left on data. Try to free up some space by wiping cached data. Go to Settings > Storage > click on cached data. That will wipe some space and hopefully allow you to install apps.
[Desire Android Development] jmcclue:
It bootloops coz u need to open rom zip and delete the a2sd file in "system/etc/init.d" and in "system/bin" then flash the rom and flash the int2ext zip and reboot. Hopefully it should work.
[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Like Chromium said, data has not much space free.

I have usually 70 to 110 MB free with a custom hboot with 190 MB on /data. ROM with this space is also faster!
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Ok only had 1,45 mb in caches, so that didnt change much, so i just uninstalled some user apps.

35mb free: 11mb app still cant update...

57mb free: it works.

Too bad android needs such relatively big free space buffer.

One would think that one could hack this free space limit to a lower value... :confused:

Hi there!

has anyone got Viper4Android to work with this ROM. Or any other Sound Enhancer... ??

I had Viper (FX 2.2.11) working with build 10, but with build 11 (and FX 2.313) I never get any effects, even with "Force FX" on.

I installed it correctly (as far as I can tell), and driver status tells me that the Cortex with Neon driver is installed.

Thanks for any hints,

Does anyone have an idea how this issue could be resolved other than by using 3rd party VPN applications?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Pressing "home" button during a call leads to soft reboot, like pressing trackball while desire is in USB mass storarge mode.
[Desire Android Development] user_x:
Never mind, I figured it out by myself.

In the VPN settings under advanced settings I added the Fritz!Box network as forwarding route (e.g. 192.168.10.0/24). In addition I added the Fritz!Box as DNS server (e.g. 192.168.10.1). The latter is not required to make it work, though.

Works like a charm. Local and internet hosts can be reached.

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION] Is there a chance for a Build 12? Only with bugfixes.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
What bugfixes do you need? Also i spent a good chunk of last week trying to get cm11 to compile, and i think im almost there (i hope). If i can get that to compile i doubt ill release any more jellybean builds.

Also at the moment (probably until the end of january) im really busy with school, so i cant do anything too work intensive.
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Will there be a fix for the navigation buttons in landscape mode(that you can use the soft back button in landscape mode)? That's the only thing that doesn't work properly, for the rest he runs smooth :)

But it's also good news that you're working on CM11 :laugh::good::fingers-crossed:

Also, good luck with school :)
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
That trackball issue is annoying. When Desire is in a Mass Storarge Mode pushing a trackball causes a soft reboot. I checked, it's not a random reboot, it happens every time, btw when even during boot sequence SD card is still mounted to PC (I can move/copy/delete/read files).

Also I think "low notification sound fix" is not working as it should be :P imo it's working partially. Also i got random reboots during phone calls but they are more spontaneous than something regular. Also :P With 1800mAh battery my phone can handle just 14-15h, 3g on, wifi off, few phone calls - but probably the problem is in battery and current temperatures (below 0C).

But I'm happy :) Good Job!

[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Issues

Issues:

This ROM seems to be the best JB ROM for Desire. The only issues are:

1. Camera a bit choppy (Autofocus doesnt work that good as in GB ROMs)

2. Video recording (Like in every 4.x ROM, use Videocam Illusion with 44kHz sound, still choppy but better than nothing)

3. VPN issue with Fritzbox (someone wrote a configuration to fix it)

4. WiFi Hotspot doesn't work

1&2 are because of HW drivers i think.

On Screen Keyboard

First thanks for the build

I've just installed your latest rom (Build 5) coming from CyanoMod007 Build 26 (Full wipe > Install rom > Wipe Dalvik and Catch then reboot).

Noticed one "small" problem no on screen keyboard... First I tried a restart but the problem was still there... I then tried tapping thru the quick setup guide. Went to settings > Language & Input... When I want to setup the keyboard I get "Android keyboard (ASOP) Isn't responding. Do you want to close it?". I tried changing language to English UK (From Danish) still no go... And ended up with soft reboot... :( Still no Keyboard... I'll try installing a third party keyboard for now...

Installed this and problem is gone...

So I found this rom in the Droid Incredible development thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294283 and I thought, "Why not port it to the Nexus One?" Well, I ported over and it boots, but it reboots into a bootloop after 5 seconds. I was wondering if anybody in the Desire thread could try to port it to the Desire and see if they have the same problem. The Incredbile shares the same Snapdragon processor and same screen so it shouldn't be that hard. BTW this is Carbon rom.

Oh the slim version doesnt actually have a bootanimation. Its got the stock "android" logo animation.

If you want to add a boot animation to the slim version, all you have to do is put a bootanimation.zip into /system/media

For the full version, you need to remove the old bootanimation.zip found in /system/media and add the new one.

I probably wont have anything coming for the nexus one, unless you have specific requests. Roms are pretty time consuming, and im pretty busy right now. If you'd like, i can try compiling TWRP 2.6.3.0 for the nexus one. No guarantees, but its more likely that I'll succeed with that than a rom.

GApps problem

Hi all,

I can't find a way to install GApps over build11 (no slim)...

I'm S-OFF, I have 0.93 1002 HBoot ancd revolutionary CWM recovery.

Tried to install GApps immediately after the ROM and separately, after ad before activating app2sd, but nothing helped.

Everytime I make full wipe before any ROM install.

Can anyone help me to solve this?

PS: at first boot after ROM flash, I don't have the settings wizard as in other ROMs I've tried before, is It strange or normal?

-Boot into recovery

-Wipe everything

-Flash ROM

-Flash Gapps

-Wipe cache
