Wow, thanks for this update! :good:
[Desire Android Development] dariush_jab:
Greet Job .and thnx

will u recommend to full wipe from Ver 0.5?
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
You can try flash on top of older build.

If you experience problem, then install with full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Exactly like deepgrass writes.

There is not a huge difference between 0.5 and 0.6 hence a dirty flash should work. If you come from 0.2 full wipe is mandatory!
[Desire Android Development] s4scha:
first at all, thx spezi for your great work. it brought me back from gingerbread =)

i'd like to ask some questions (i installed 0.6 with n5 theme):

1. how can i change launcher3 settings to disable google search bar or to change standard (home)screen? i cant find l3 settings in the menu... am i blind? ^^

2. does swipe-function in aosp android keyboard (preinstalled) work for you? for me it's enabled by default but doesnt work in any language i chose. maybe thats a general problem?

thx in advance for everyone answering =)
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
1. Press menu key button > Settings

2. I can confirm the swipe does not work on aosp android keyboard, it show swipe trail by it won't show any word.

Use google keyboard from market.

Does anyone have an issue about accepting calls? Nobody can reach me :( Unfortunately, it crashes when somebody calls, and it says com.android.phone is stopped(fc). However, I can call anyone without a problem.

I've installed v0.6 and nexus5 patch.

Should I reinstall this, or install v0.5?
[Desire Android Development] s4scha:
thx for your answer, i'll try google keyboard.

regarding the other point: in 0.5 i found the launcher3 settings under menu/settings. now under 0.6 (with installed n5 look) it opens google settings when i press menu/settings... maybe that came because of n5 update installation. is there any other way to get to the launcher3 settings? unfortunately it isn't shown in app-drawer/settings or elsewhere.

i have almost the same problem. if someone calls me screen stays black and after one dial tone the caller gets redirected to my mailbox. if i turn on the screen after a call it shows "no simcard" and i have to re-enter the pin. i did a full wipe install and applied the n5 patch (on 0.6). i didn't test 0.6 without the n5 patch.
[Desire Android Development] or1m:
Hi, bad news!

Thanks, it looks fantastic, but,

unfortunately, no one can reach me, too.

After one beep it drops the call on the caller side,

on my side it FC´s process phone and I need to reenter SIM PIN...

So, unfortunately, it is unusable, though I really like it. :crying:

Also, Email app does not want to read emails for Exchange server.

It connect there, but it keep refreshing forever without actually doing something.

My setup: full wipe fresh install of v0.6 only + newest radio...
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
Hi, I've tested it many ways. it is smooth, and fast except the FC problem of phone process when somebody calls. If it is fixed it can be my choice for every day use.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hey guys,

I'm sorry about that. Please stick to 0.5 for the moment. Thanks for your quick responses.
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
no problemo, thanks for your effort.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
I have now also reproduced the issue and found the culprit. I will upload a fixed version later.. after thoroughly testing the telephony.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hotfix for v0.6 uploaded:

- phone crash solved

- updated google play services

[MENTION=4315173]or1m[/MENTION] [MENTION=2749750]oruchreis[/MENTION]

I have found out how to fix the email synchronization:

1. add exchange account

2. confirm the security prompts

3. reboot your device

Now your inbox syncs properly

[MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] I have found another bug. but I came with a solution this time. I've found this solution in there, and I've upgraded it a little bit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607215&page=12

This bugs is about media_rw. GOBackup and some backup apps like some version of titanium, can't see de sdcard in KitKat. To fix this, we must edit /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml like this:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" /> <!-- I've added this -->
</permission>

first I pulled(adb) platform.xml, then I added line above, and pushed the file(adb remount, adb push). then chmod 644 this. This is the fix in the link that I gave above. But it doesn't finished yet for desire, because when I restarted it, it's permission is not fixed. So you should chmod like this:

root@bravo:/ # mount -o remount /
mount -o remount /
root@bravo:/ # chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw
root@bravo:/ # chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
root@bravo:/ # chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/GOBackup
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/GOBackup
root@bravo:/ # chmod -R 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/GOBackup
chmod -R 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0/GOBackup
root@bravo:/ #

I didn't give full perm recursively to sdcard0, because it takes too long, so for now, I need it for only GOBackup.

I don't know how to integrate this fix to the rom, but this is the solution for media_rw permission issue. and there is one thing though, chmoding media_rw is temporary solution. it will reset after reboot. but it is not important for now, because I'm using GOBackup for restoring at one time.

regards and thanks for a great rom.
[Desire Android Development] or1m:
hm, i thought i could flash fix over v0.6 to get it work,

but after flashing it I have running arrow only...i could stand 20min of it, it is really nice, but

then i went back to nandroid restore...

so, well, could be there a fixing fix, please? :D

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
There is a misunderstanding. The hotfix is not just a patch with a few files, it's the full ROM.

Try wiping cache + dalvik cache if you do a dirty flash.

If you still get stuck at the bootanimation, do a full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] oruchreis:
I did full wipe before installing, and then it is working, and I didn't find any bugs except media_rw permission issue.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Sure. Take care to get the latest version which has support for kk.

Please include as many details as possible (e.g. logcat, steps for reproduction) if you post a problem.
[Desire Android Development] dariush_jab:
i am using that and many of options work fine,of course some other not. its normal
[Desire Android Development] p70shooter:
Is anyone else having really low notification sound? I think the low sound fix is included but still really low, any ideas? Other than that all good. Thank you kindly.

Google Play - Couldn't sign in

Hello spezi77,

first of all, let me commend you on your work. I absolutely love CM11 release and it would be extraordinary to have it also work on my old HTC Desire.

I've flashed the ROM and everything worked fine, untill at some point the google account failed to log in. I tried all tricks listed online:

- clear cache of google play

- clear data of google play

- clear cache of google play services

- wipe cache + dalvik

Nothing seems to work in my case. I tried the two different kitkat roms that are in aplha out there (evervolv and beanstalk) and i get a working google play experience with those.

I re-flashed your build today to see if a reinstall basically would solve the problem but no hope there.

My partitions look fine as far as i can see (logcat.zip -> df.txt)

I have made a logcat of my attempt at signing in (logcat.zip -> play.txt)

I hope you can make heads or tails with this info ...

If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask. I really want to get past this issue :)
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:

Stay tuned.. :D

Today I installed Xposed and found a few nice modules which allow you to:

- make the statusbar translucent

- hide the google search bar of GEL

I suggest everyone who is into such things to use Xposed. I am not a friend of modifying too many things -- I'd rather keep the rom clean.

These are the mentioned modules:

And fere is how it can look like:

I guess this is the interesting part in the logcat. Does your mobile internet work in principle, e.g. browser?

Hi spezi77,

thank you for you replies, please find below my answers:

Yes, internet works. I can use the default browser to navigate like i always do. At the moment of taking this log, i was connected to my wireles network from home (which has always worked with my Desire, and still does - even with Google Play on other ROMs).

I took a short look into the log myself before posting it and indeed, those were the only things that popped up in a funny way. I mean it's clear that there's an uncaught exception in the GLSActivity application. I'm no java developer however and wouldn't know where to start debugging ... x)

No, after flashing all i did was: su; a2sd install; y; n; y; and the failed attempt at activating my google account through google play :(
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hmm, does it also happen with v0.4?
[Desire Android Development] molexus:
I will flash it right now and let you know.

EDIT: Sadly yes, it happens in 0.4 as well. I have attached a zip of the logcat from this run. I didn't even install a2sd this time, just to rule out this possibility.

No misunderstanding, I flashed so many roms just like an update,

without a problem.

this one could not start after any type a non wipe flash.

it was the only way to get it start, so, unfortunately,

i had to reinstall and set it all again. nevermind.

but now, everything is working - i mean phone and exchange email.

Bug or feature?

another small thing, annoying however...

over the years I have some aac ringtones.

it has not been any problem with playing them,

till this 4.4.2 android... now only few of them

are played by the system (3 pieces, like in fairytale...),

so i can not use them as a ringtone.

windows mediainfo claims for

not playing aac

´s:

Format : ADTS

Format/Info : Audio Data Transport Stream

Format : AAC

Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec

Format version : Version 4

Format profile : LC

Bit rate mode : Variable

Channel(s) : 2 channels

while

working aac

´s:

Format : MPEG-4

Format profile : Base Media / Version 2

Codec ID : mp42

Format : AAC

Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec

Format profile : LC

Codec ID : 40

Bit rate mode : Constant

Channel(s) : 2 channels

so, is some codec missing in rom or I just must convert my ringtones again?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Sorry, I have no idea. Audio codecs have not been removed intentionally. You could ask someone else if this issue also occurs in other 4.4.2 roms. Please let me know if there is a specific lib which I might have missed.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:

Are you experienced with java? Can you figure out why there's that NullPointerException when i try to connect to Google Play? And the more important question: why only on my device? Others obviously also have Desire phones with your port installed and don't experience this issue ...
[Desire Android Development] chusebizen:
Dear [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION],

I'm still on v5. I only have one problem. WiFi works, and after some time I found it disabled, and it is not possible to activate it again. In WiFi settings, it says "activating WiFi", and the ON-OFF switch located upper right does not react.

Then I must reboot the phone.

Any idea??

Is there anyone around that could have the same issue???

I did clean install and followed the installation instructions.

Good morning Kitkang users,

Do you have any special wishes for the next version?

My proposals:

- performance increase by

-- using optimized dalvik library (as mentioned in Chromiums BS rom thread)

-- baking in a smoother launcher (Novalauncher which feels 10x times faster than Trebuchet; this is also the launcher in BS rom)

-- further tweaks (supercharger?)

Please let me know what you think of these.. :cool:

Cheers,

- spezi

P.S.: I have added a new section Optimized Settings to the 1st post. Please let me know if it brings you any noticable results in terms of performance.

without luck :(

Btw. I can't restore backups cause go backup pro can't see files in sd card :(
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Did you already try out this?
[Desire Android Development] taninos:
Yes, it doesn't work because "droidvpn tun.ko installer" only provides tun.ko for some kernels and devices and also because you can not use the current *.ovpn extensions on it. We need a workable tun.ko for kk and compile it with your kernel network config.gz information and your kernel compile number.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I think what we need to do for the tun.ko is change line 1084 in the bravo config from CONFIG_TUN=y to CONFIG_TUN=m. Then from within the kernel/htc/qsd8k directory run "make modules SUBDIR=drivers/net". It should build the tun.ko module which should be found in drivers/net. Im not sure if this works, but ill try it out on the weekend if no one has already done it by then.
[Desire Android Development] freeandroid:
I try this method but its not working.

if you need account ovpn for test send me a messages

Thank you for support .
[Desire Android Development] taninos:
Many thanks for thinking in that issue. It is a serious problem for those one use this device at work. VPN is a must have.

hi,

tried your rom and looking good so far - would be great to integrate the adblocker - also for youtube :good:
[Desire Android Development] desmayas:
Nice rom, thank!
[Desire Android Development] skubko:
Hi spezi77, thank you very much for keeping our Desire alive :good:... I do not remember how many ROMs I have tried, but I really like what you did here.

Let me share some comments...

Before flashing, I had stock Hboot and TWRP 2.6.0.0. Flashing was without any problems, but I wanted to try AlphaRev Jelly Hboot (250/5/182), so I flashed that and also changed TWRP for newest 4ext. Flashing your ROM again, without any problems.

The first issue came immediately after first start of the ROM (the same behavior for both cases - older hboot/recovery versus newer hboot/recovery) - I was not able to connect the device with the Google account. I kept receiving a message saying it cannot connect to google servers (I have tried 3G and also WiFi, but the connection was not the issue - I was able to browse etc.). I do not know what really helped, but after few "re-flashings", I managed it to work - although, the Google account manager crashed immediately, the account was successfully added...

This was the biggest issue I had, others are just the remarks:

- there is a strange option in a built-in browser's settings - called "Format SD card?" :cyclops:.. when I click it, it runs the search on the web-page...

- I use the built-in widget cLock (clock and weather), but always when I click on the widget I get "Unfortunately, cLock has stopped"...

And two wishes from my side:

- would be nice to have "Reboot options" extended (to be able to reboot into recovery/bootloader etc. - really nice thing, I was used to it from previous ROMs :angel:)

- option to remove the "Google search bar" from the launcher's screens - I did not find such option anywhere, can I remove it somehow?

Please, do not take this comment as some "critics", I only want to be helpful, as I know it is always good to have some feedback :cowboy:...

Keep my fingers crossed, you are doing a really good job here :good:
[Desire Android Development] Rsdf430.:
- would be nice to have "Reboot options" extended (to be able to reboot into recovery/bootloader etc. - really nice thing, I was used to it from previous ROMs :angel:)

- check in developer options or developer settings or something, and choose for advanced power screen.

- option to remove the "Google search bar" from the launcher's screens - I did not find such option anywhere, can I remove it somehow?

- check in launcher settings from within system settings and there's an option with something about persistent google search bar. Untick that one.. Or what I could do in Kitkat was just press it and swipe it to the bin at the top of the screen, but that was with nova launcher

Hi dude, let me ask about Paranoid 4.3.1 Kernel. Can we use that kernel over your CM11?

The kernel of Paranoid included tun.ko module so I wonder if I can use it on your rom. If it is impossible, could you build a CM10.2 version using as a base Paranoid 4.3.1? I know that it is too much to be asked and I beg your pardon for that.

Thanks in advance. BR.
