Interesting.. In my case v14 feels more responsive. in V12 free memory was going down to 50MB and ROM was getting very laggy. Now free memory stays around 90MB and ROM feels responsive. I am using A2Ext+ and chose 1024 as the SDSpeed (I have an old 4 GB SD card - class 4 I guess).

In my experience, battery got a little worse comparing to V12 though. In V12 I was geeting 3+ hours screen time with light use, now I am getting only 2.5 hours. Still not bad for the old desire. Tha fact that the ROM is stable for daily use and works with CM7 hboot is a big plus. Thanks again michaelm_007.
[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
Very interesting post, as I was about to flash the new update. Does the crash problem occurs with Xperia keyboard as well? I am also using greek keyboard sometimes.

Flash player is a major issue (I just disabled all browser plug-ins as a temp workaround), although one of the biggest problems I face is the screen size as I mentioned earlier. I attach a screenshot to see what I mean.

And did anyone manage to flash the Galaxy Launcher+weather widget? Any help will be appreciated. (btw the weather fix posted by michaelm_007 doesn't seem to do anything).

I am using this ROM as it is the only JB ROM that works with CM7r2 hboot and has a very good a2sd script...
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
I have no idea about xperia keyboard, I use swiftkey.

I didnt understand whats your problem with the screen size.
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Do you have fastboot drivers installed?
[Desire Android Development] MarcelMAH:
Can someone explain the difference between Int2Ext+ and A2Ext+? (now have int2Ext+ on my old (now nieces) phone)

And I bought her a class 10 / 16 GB SDHC card to replace my old class 4... what is the best and fastest combination of int2ext+ or a2ext2 and what speed setting during installation? <-- what is the theory behind those settings?
[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
yes: HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Follow them both, then try again with fastboot commands.
[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
Take a look at the picture attached. I cannot place anything at the empty space above the power widget nor I can move the widget itself. It looks as if the available screen is 3.5x4 instead of 4x4...
[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
couldnt make it work..

found a tool to update the script from amend to edify..

but I get an error that /tmp/radio.img is not there... :/

now the phone wont boot.. sigh..
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:
@ all

Update is on the road :silly:

Sorry, i completely change the base too albinoman887 and i forgot too test all functions. But it wants better and i think the ROM is stable with a few small errors. :angel:
[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
im thinking, can I just take the radio zip, rename it PB99IMG.zip and flash it through fastboot?
[Desire Android Development] MarcelMAH:
That's worth mentioning in the changelog :) ... why did you change?

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

Would like to know to!

Made this: http://www.mirrorupload.net/file/CUYZ967O/#!PB99IMG.zip maybe this works? I don't have my Desire here so can't try atm.
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
In that empty space the google search bar supposed to be placed but I guess you didnt choose it in the aroma setup.

You should go now to launcher's option and untick the option that says to have the google search bar always active. I dont remember exactly as I use nova launcher.
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
can you add a small walkthrough steps for the AROMA installer .. well, I love this kind of installer .. it's AMAZING .. but there's a page which I don't know what to choose .. (with many selections of 64, 128, 256, 512, ... etc) .. :( :(

Also I tried v12 of this ROM a while ago, and it was awfully slow I had to revert back .. but didn't have time to post here .. was this a normal case, or did I do something wrong in the installation (back up, Full wipe, flash, follow the AROMA steps except the above point i chose 1024 .. blindly .. lol :D )

thanks alot for your efforts ..
[Desire Android Development] paolo-red1:
Last 3 changelogs are almost equal.

I am joking
[Desire Android Development] heraSK:
i found 128 to be the fastest option for me... i haven't tried 256 or 512, but 1024 and above does lag a lot...
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:
@ all

You have right, my changelog is not good, but in the background, a lot has happened :eek:

Changes:

--> v12 to v15

- 375 files (90 bin-, 6 etc-, 83 app-, 30 framework-, 157 lib- and 6 xbin-files, many entries in some other files)

--> v13 to v15

- 151 files (3 bin-, 5 etc-, 83 app-, 30 framework-, 22 lib- and 5 xbin-files, many entries in some other files)

The read-ahead results are stated in kB, it means the cache size: good article
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
Great; then we should stick to 128 as heraSK stated, right ? .. (am not deep into tech info .. .. :D :D )
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
3 weeks ago I made an experiment with my desire and readahead values:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2540931/ASD/HTC/Public/Readahead_Desire_emtec_eng.pdf

I made it for myself and as u can see best results for my sdcard/phone is to stick with 3078 readahead (best average results).
[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
I also have a class10 sd card, and by selecting 3078 I have no problems at all (heck, I don't even know if I get any performance improvements but as long as it works fine, i ain't messing with it).

michaelm_007 thanks, I flashed v15 (coming form v13) after a full wipe. :good:

No performance issues during the last 2-3 hours, extremely smooth and responsive.

Somehow though, weather at cLock is not updating through geolocation (I have to insert the location manually).

Any hints also on how I could push the galaxy launcher (mentioned at the first page) to my CM7r2 hboot will be appreciated :p

After flashing it through recovery it doesn't appear under interface -> Launcer
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
okay .. am downloading v15 now .. (for some reason the download interrupted 3 times ! :( )

anyways .. will try it first with 3072 and see how goes .. :)

thank you all for your help .. ;)
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
I have no problems with 128 but next time i'll use 3078 just to experiment with this setting.

v15 looks very good till now
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
You can change readahead instantly by using trickster mod app from the market :]

I used this one to perform tests.
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Just try some values with SD tools.

The right value depends on your sd card class. For me 1024+ is good for example.

Testing it doesn't take much time
[Desire Android Development] MarcelMAH:
Just tested it and worked great!
[Desire Android Development] nitramus:
Any tips on how to prevent play store from updating it self?
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
well, I have a major issue now .. :D

I can't download !!! :( :(

there is something wrong with the site containing the builds .. it kills the connection shortly after starting .. I only get about 10-20 MBs .. then it's killed .. :( :( :(
[Desire Android Development] heraSK:
I think I've seen somewhere that best readahead value depends on sd card's class and even manufacturer (i. e. cheaper vs more expensive one). but yes, do experiment a bit to see which value works best for you...

there are many apps in play store which can change sd readahead values... ;)
[Desire Android Development] russell664:
This looks one great rom! :)

What is performance and battery life like compared to a CM7 based rom?
[Desire Android Development] Androidmarketuser:
Can't compare it to CM7 roms as I left them a LONG time ago, but the battery life is really good, I think better than on other roms and the performance is great too. Really fluid, no lags when scrolling, but I think there are no huge differences in performance between this and other CM10(.1) roms, but I prefer this one as it seems to be a little bit faster than the others ;)

Btw, I wouldn't like to switch back to CM7, JB is so much more comfortable and looks much better!

I can write Antutu and Quadrant scores (even if they aren't really comparable because of sd speed)

Compared to v10, v15 is a little bit slower I think, but I might be wrong (also using the newer kernel instead of the older one)

But still I enjoy this rom, no bugs, except that there is a force close when trying to change the input method (for example if I install another keyboard and press an icon "change input method" and it redirects me to settings, it just force closes. I will test if this happens in v15 too...
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
well, after 6 hours of trying, have finally managed to download the ROM .. LOL :D

had to go to a windows machine (dont have a download manager on ubuntu yet .. :( )

anyways, will try the ROM with the readahead cache settings and see how goes ..
[Desire Android Development] yoko89:
use downthemall

it is a firefox add-on and you can put the md5 in it to check if the file was downloaded correctly

enjoy using the rom
[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
well .. finished downloading and first impression .. this is AMAZING work .. nicely done .. :)

i think this the fastest 4.2.2. ROM i have used so far .. ;)

i have noticed 2 minor issues .. just to make sure i havent dont anything wrong or if someone has a workaround for it .. ;)

- Notification sound is low .. while ringing volume is loud as usual .. tried both options, linking to the ringtone volume and separate volume seeker for it .. but still low .. :(

- the quick message popup .. i had to click close twice for it to close .. LOL ..

nothing major, I like it and gonna keep it for a few days and see how goes ..

PS: awesomely restored ALL MY APPs automatically from the store .. last ROM i've seen do that was a MIUI 4.1.2. :)

Well Done .. :)

EDIT:

well, for the low notification sound, it's now working .. seems like it needed a restart of the driver (turned it off and on again, no reboots) .. LOL :D

[Desire Android Development] KhaledAbdo:
Hello michael .. :)

can you please upload to a filehosting server .. theyre much more reliable than this one (dropping the connection every 5 -10 minutes ) :( :(
[Desire Android Development] sawo:
Hey guys, any luck getting instagram working in this rom? It freezes after selecting photo effect...
[Desire Android Development] manisa236:
You said you change the base..

is wipe needed? I'll stick to V15 for a while if it is..

I would like to keep all my market apps and their config/cache data as is..

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] sawo:
I did wipe cache + dalvik and so far it works great, no probs at all.
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:
@ all

Incremental update of ROM - no wipe needed. Adobe flash is now working but i must find a working version :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
You are lightning fast!!! :laugh:

I just flashed v16 but still geolocation is not working for weather update (although it finds my position in Google Maps)...It was working 3 versions back. I even did a full wipe...

Can anyone else please confirm if this is the case with his setup as well? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Can someone confirm flash working with v16? If so i might jump in back to JB.
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
I'll try it in a few hours and inform everybody. Wish it works :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] borsa1994:
I'm very happy to see that a phone like the HTC Desire is always under development, new roms and new version of android os are cooked every day!

Now i've a nexus 4, but i will update my old but beautiful and powerfull ;) Desire.

Sorry for the OT.

Thank for your work!

[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
I was just about to post it. Is weather geolocation working for you?
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
geolocation works fine
[Desire Android Development] yoko89:
downloaded v16 for 3 times every time wrong digital signature the md5
[Desire Android Development] Tyr:
Hmmm...

Have:

Data++ HBOOT

4GB EXT Part on SD

Flashed this ROM and it won't even get to the boot screen. It just hangs on the carrier logo indefinitely. Have waited over 20 minutes.

Any ideas if I've missed something?
[Desire Android Development] Dr.Thrilla:
Maybe you should change your hboot to stock or cm7.

I'm using cm7/r2 and a 1gb ext4 partition. I presume you did a full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] smsmasters:
Please add download mirrors. The downloads keep stalling.
[Desire Android Development] SpecBxl:
Thanks for the reply, I really don't understand why weather cannot find my position via network any more... I have just the "No data Tap to refresh" with the big orange question mark :(

Edit: Indeed the only problem is with the geolocation of cLock. Google Maps geolocation as I reported works fine, and I just installed minimalistic text widget and its weather app finds my position quite right. Pity, but I think I can live with that, the ROM is just great!
[Desire Android Development] Tyr:
Left it over breakfast this morning and all is well. It is very slow though, but I think that has something to do with everything being an a class 2 32GB SD :(

Assuming that this ROM is very sensitive to SD speeds as it is practically all installed to the SD.
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
Class 2 is really slow, you can buy a class 10 32gb for about 20 euros now.

Also select a2ext+ in aroma setup instead of int2ext+, it's faster.
[Desire Android Development] Tyr:
Wow! I remember paying through the nose for this 32GB class 2 when it was released some four years ago. Definitely worth replacing.
[Desire Android Development] Tyr:
Well all set up, working quite smoothly, just a couple of minor graphical glitches from the lock screen and the app switcher. Anyone else getting stuck images in these screens?

It does not clear/refresh properly/fully.
[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
had a wierd incident today

put the phone in my pocket, took it out seconds later, and was met by the sim unlock screen..?`!

so I unlocked and all continued well, just odd why I would drop out?

v16
[Desire Android Development] Kwisatz_Haderach:
Invalid package error

I ask again, did anyone here have a problem with Invalid package error? I get one, whenever I try to upgrade or install any app. I can install about 60MB of apps a then this error occurs (approximately 200MB of free space on phone). I have cm7r2 hboot (so I'm using A2ext version) and this problem from the moment I switched to this ROM (with full wipe and everything ofc).

Best regards Kwisatz
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
I've never had such a problem
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:

New incremental update of ROM is online - no wipe needed :eek:
[Desire Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi, thank you for the update ! It's always the same version, v16 ?
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
He just added a few things on v16, no need to change the number of the version.
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
This ROM is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!!!!!!
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
S4 roms are about 1.5-2 gb in size.
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
I don't get the idea behind HTC Sense, like what are its benefits over other UIs...
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
The pros and cons of each UI is more or less a subjective matter so dont expect a clear answer.
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
No, I'm asking what Sense is about. I googled it, but no response was satisfactory.....
[Desire Android Development] epivitor:
Maybe you didnt google it well :p
[Desire Android Development] michaelm_007:
@ alicarbovader

The ROM is only 250MB with Google-Apps the rest are themes, keyboard, apps, kernels and more. I can all this delete is it required from all users, then is the size of ROM only 160-180MB???
[Desire Android Development] quikote:
I prefer to have all the apps, themes, keyboards and so on in the Rom and choose with Aroma which ones I would like to install everytime.

The size of the file doesn't matter to me (just some more minutes waiting for download)

It's my point of view....

Thanks Michael.... You are doing a great job!

[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
I tried installing Netflix, it works, except it never starts playing the video...

Is this also because of the 'not yet v3 kernel' issue?

(netflix has worked before with another rom)
[Desire Android Development] charliebigpot:
"it works" is not the best choice of words if it never starts playing the video ;)

Was the rom where it worked also a JB rom? or ICS or even GB?
[Desire Android Development] kurgandk:
;) well it 'launches' and I can browse videos, but I cannot play them..

it was as far as I remember a RSK GingerBread rom...
[Desire Android Development] Tyr:
Well I fixed it. Developer Options > Disable HW Overlays.

Still need a new SD Card
[Desire Android Development] Stereohype:
I agree aroma options are great. Just keep the default install lean and clean.
[Desire Android Development] :
Sense is the skin build on top of Android made by HTC.
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
So basically, Sense is a themed Android with a few apps like integrated-facebook, HTC Mail and all that, right?
[Desire Android Development] alicarbovader:
I see, and integrating all this in the AOSP ROM makes it heavy, right???
[Desire Android Development] abaaaabbbb63:
Sense has a different source from aosp. You cannot simply install sense apps on an aosp rom. With a few theme modifications, you can make a sense look alike using aosp.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Sense has completely different framework..

It's not just skin or launcher.
[Desire Android Development] grant2:
Normally minor changes result in a dot-increase (v16.01, v16.02, etc.) ... helps identify which among many releases is most recent, or whether a new download is needed.

does the cam or at least ICS cam work in this ROM? in V22 of the 4.1.2 Version it doesnt work :(
[Desire Android Development] Stereohype:
it works with ics and videocam illusion for video and set audio to 44hz

int2ext+ script

Hi,

Noob question I am afraid.

I just installed this ROM. Very happy so far.

On the installer I selected Int2Ext+. Do I have to run this script after installation?

On a previous ROM you had to do that with a different script, and I have the partitions prepared on my SD card.

I just cant find the script. Is the selected script run by the installer, or if not how to run it?

Mons :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
afaik you dont have too.

But i strongly would recommend A2Ext+... its much faster.

[Desire Android Development] Jalalben:
Hi all,

First, a great great thx for

michaelm_007

for his great/good work. Without you J.B. wouldn't be possible for some of us (Not sooo easily).

2.5 years with Oxygen ROM, then I decided it's time for some change. After checking all the ROM's that are there for the HTC Desire, I decided I would go with this one (just didn't want to go through adb, fastboot, hboot and other stuff again and I read good comments in the forum).

After 2days of trying with 3 old microSD cards, it turns out that i need a new one. I got a samy 16Gb Class6 one and tried again. Three times then there I got the start animated gif. Cool! For the three old cards, 2 class 2s and another Nokia class 6, they were stuck at that gif for ever but they served me good for more than 5years through several phones.

The ROM is Good,

somehow Fast

and FULLY FUNCTIONAL for every day use. But it takes me 5 min to start (4min for the HTC Logo then 1 min for the animated gif till the unlock screen). It's ok because the Desire is an old phone and sometimes it just lacks the sheer power to act fast. I kind of felt nostalgic for the Go Launcher and after trying so much of them, it was what I chose for now (still trying the Trebuchet and the Atom). Battery life seems good to me for now.

I'm going to try something with the CPU then the memory card read blocks...

The Camera

works fine most of the times

and then it gets overwhelmed with the HDR function. It's OK, I just have to shut and relaunch it.

Anyway, I think I found the one (Not HTCs but mine) for now. Wait, ... Yes for now, until a new version is out. V16 then up. :D.

Thx again for michaelm_007 for his great work.
[Desire Android Development] monsm:
Thanks for the reply. So I take it I dont have to run this script separatly then.

I did notice I have a lot of free memory with this ROM and Int2Ext+.

I might try A2Ext+ next time and compare. Doesn't feel too bad on the speed at the moment anyway.

Mons
