lol ur like me.

ok so go to -

tools/

partition sdcard/

remove all partitions and start from scratch/

choose "1024"

then press skip twice then it will ask u to choose ext3 or ext4? press ext4 and let it finish.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Gotcha. Though it would only let me skip once. I got the ext4. I only have a 4gb sd if thats any help.

Its finished anyways.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
nah 4gb is fine, i used 4gb for ages. now u have 1gb ext4 for ur apps.

now the fun part. what rom do u want to flash?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Er any. lol. One that kicks arse haha. So to speak. So long as I have all my functions. Aps2sd and camera.all intact.

Btw. I didnt put the superuser zip on my card yet.. Do i need that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
nah dont need it because the rom will have it installed.

so u want a sense based rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Im completely new to roms btw. Hear you need radio and stuff. All new to me. As I said. Samsung was a walk in the park compared to this lol.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Yeah. be pretty good thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
u can update the radio but that can be done at any time.

ok so a sense rom is what u already using. we can install a simular rom if u want or pick a higher sense version, like sense 3.5 which is from the htc sensation, then u can and i know a great one because i used it for ages. wana try it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Yeah sounds great pal ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
download and put it on ur sdcard

sorry download this one instead https://sourceforge.net/projects/rskandroid/files/Stock%20Hboot/RSK_v.8.2.0_SatteliteRosie_Stock.Hboot.Ed..zip/download
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
And I use this through bootloader? Getting carried away here. Im really getting stuck for time. I need to get home or my better half will kill me haha.

On another note. This guy is a Legend. And this topic is a how to for an absolute novice on how to S-OFF and root + flash a custom rom.

Wants an award for all the help he has given me. As tedious as I have been..

Thanks so much pal. Your a star. Just need the finishing touches now. Or the missus will kill me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Ok copied to sd card the later version you linked me to.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
haha. right so once u have the rom on ur sdcard, boot into recovery (phone off then press volume down + power) then select recovery. once in recovery, go to -

wipe/format/

format all partitions except sdcard

once thats done, go to -

install from sdcard/

choose zip from sdcard/

then select the rom and flash it.

u should get the aroma setup which lets u choose some options, apps etc etc. once u choose everything u want/dont want it will install the rom then when its finished, just reboot ur phone. when the rom boots up to lockscreen, leave the phone settle for 5 mins then unlock the phone and enjoy :)

heres a link to the RSK Team Blog for more info on their great roms
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
Thank you. Will have to get off now. But once I get the phone up and running. I will report back here and let you know what I think,

Kudos. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
I'm back again with a couple of problems lol...

Sorry.

Ok. How can I get adobe flash player on this Rom via Mobile? Google play doesn't want anything to do. And there's boxing tonight I'd really lile to watch as he's from my hometown... Come on Murray.

Also. Beat slounds or whatever.. will not play sounds. Crashes my music player if I don't disable it haha. Is this normal?

Other than that. No problems. Bit of lag here and there. But its.all good.

Any suggestions pal?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_fin:
I did like. But was more interested in the Murray fight. Robbed lol.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webelan:
hope you won't mind

I've followed your instructions because I have the same Desire phone and info on screen as op. Everything has gone fine until I reached the Recovery Screen.

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-off

Hboot-6.93.1002

Microp-051d etc

Update - yes

Reboot - no

Then Recovery but I get message

"Attn: recovery is in safe mode this is because the following partition is not accessible "system".

Please enter the wipe menu and format system! If you changed hboot you should chose to format all partitions (except sdcard).

Afterwards please reboot recovery."

Should I be doing the wipe as indicated please?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
No, you shouldn't, unless you plan flashing another ROM afterwards.

If you're using 4ext recovery, try deleting the 4ext folder from your sd-card. If that doesn't work, reflash your ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webelan:
Still same problem

Thanks for your lightening quick reply. Very impressive.

I deleted the folder 4ext and made sure it was gone. To recap this is what I have done so far

1) Extract your hboot driver files somewhere you will remember.

2) Boot into Hboot screen (turn off ur phone, then press and hold volume down and press power)

3) Connect ur phone to PC (the screen will then show "HBOOT USB")

4) Right click "My computer" > Manage > Device Manager

5) Expand "Other Devices" in the right-hand pain and locate "Android 1.0 device"

6) Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software

7) Click on Browse my computer for driver software.

8) Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder you extracted earlier (press OK to any errors received and Close when complete)

9) Check Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone in device manager - done

I then did the next steps

10) boot up ur phone and download terminal emulator and like the op, my phone showed 2000

11) go to settings - application - development and enable usb debugging - done

12) plug in ur phone to computer extract it and run the revolutionary.exe - done

13) press and hold volume down + power. it SHOULD say bravo pvt4 ship S-OFF - it does

14) download the 4ext recovery as PB99IMG in my sig and put it on ur sdcard - phone should boot recovery.

Yes, boots recovery but same error message re safe mode even after deleting folder 4ext and the file PB99IMG.

If you say I should reflash the ROM of what item are we speaking. I was unaware that I had already flashed the ROM. I thought that came later.

Thanks a bundle,

Anne
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
I used to get this error from time to time as well.

Deleting the 4ext folder from the sd seems like a temporary fix, but doing a full wipe and flashing a rom seems to have completely solved the problem.

And no...u havent flashed a rom yet. abaaaabbbb63 was just saying that you shouldnt wipe unless you plan to flash a rom right after. If you wipe and dont flash a rom, your phone wont have an operating system until you flash one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webelan:
Thanks for the clarification. I'll wait until tomorrow to see if any one has anything to add. Am too stressed and have to prepare for tomorrow so not a good moment to flash the rom. Also need to do a backup of the SD card, which is full of programs. Not enough memory on the phone itself for much of anything. Will do backup and continue from that point. Hopefully as you say the problem will disappear once the ROM has been changed.

Thanks again, very helpful.

Anne
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webelan:
ready for ROM

Hi again.

Everything now safely backed up and am ready to continue. Have searched ROMs and like the look of Android Revolution HD but will it be okay on my simple Desire? The other ROMs look a little too complicated for a beginner like me and/or the installation instructions highlight my own lack of knowledge. I need something KISS and Android Revolution HD looks ideal.

So my question to the experts - is it okay to install it on my phone? :fingers-crossed:

Thanks all,

Anne
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Yes.

just follow OP of the rom's install instructions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webelan:
Thanks

Thanks for the affirmative reply. I wasn't sure because of the "HD" in the ROMs name. Will go ahead mightily reassured.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my newbie's questions.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Maybe run it in compatibility mode? There are a few threads on the interwebz suggesting that it's not compatible with Win8. Are you running Win8?

There's nothing to worry about, you can't brick your phone that easily if you follow the instructions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Guys, the recovery error results from a very simple situation: not wiping before flashing hboot.

I've gotten this message a lot of times and can't seem to figure out exactly why, but I've figured out that as long as you wipe all partitions, including system, in 4ext before changing hboot, you will be fine.

If you don't, however, after flashing some hboots, your "system" partition will be inaccessible. This means that you won't be able to wipe (forever stuck on "formatting system"), and ROMs won't work as well. You must flash back to original hboot (the exact one you came from) and wipe, then do it all over.

Of course, sometimes you will get this message after doing the above or not going through the process and it will be fine. Just remember to always wipe system before changing hboot. Have a ncie day.

Hi

I really hate the white theme newly given to dialer, contacts and messages apps. Would it be possible to change the color scheme anyway. Or port these apps from another ROM (having dark and better looking UI) Thankyou in advance.

Hi all,

I have just upgraded from a Nexus S to a Nexus 4.

I always played with a free game, "Scopa" of Whatwapp. In the Nexus S, it sometimes stutters... but this is reasonable with such hardware.

However, I have tried it in my Nexus 4 now...and it stutters there too. Maybe more than with the Nexus S...

How could this be possible? This game should not be heavy...

I tried with Antutu to check the performance...and it gave me a score of about 17300, which seems correct/good.

It is noteworthy that I have seen that game playing very smooth with some low-end devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy Next or Galaxy Pocket).

Any suggestion? Can someone of you try with the same game? May be an issue of that game?

May be a problem of resolution?

Thank you

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
Use any file explorer with root and write access, es file explore for example can but you have to enable write access in its settings.

Make sure your governor is set to 'ondemand' then navigate to sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand and change the 2 settings I mentioned in my last post using your file explorer.

If you like the settings you can make an init.d script to set them at each boot up.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giaomnitel1:
Mmm..I cannot find the subfolder cpufreq under cpu....

which ROM and Kernel are you currently using ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
I'm using a stock/aosp based ROM and kernel.(prime runner+mottley)

I've never used a cm based one before; I guess cm is setup differently... Maybe try sys/.............cpu/cpu0 see if there's an cpufreq/ondemand folder there.. If there is I'm not sure if it would apply to all cores anyway.

Edit... Just remembered, it might be 'system tuner' app that creates the folder there.

Im a bit paranoid so I wouldnt keep an internet connection on all the time. You dont have a firewall so you dont really know what is connecting to the internet. Only your bill will tell at the end of the month.

[Networking] igadget:
always on?

i'm sorry to disapoint you, but if you have GPRS always on doesn't mean you have a permanent internet connection. It means U have a permanent connection to your provider "proxy"....yes, imagine it as a proxy.

When you use a programm that needs access to the internet its only faster than normal GSM because of the compressed packets.

something like this.....

another thing U should bare in mind is that U don't really have an IP so it's "almost" impossible for someone to reach your phone...but beware of growing menace of "mobile" virus.
