It does support USB-Hostmode like here with a patched Kernel.http://tim.mactory.com/htc-desire/

He uses a patch from http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

But it does not supply power over the micro-USB-Port so you have to do a bit of work to get an external power supply in the usb cable.

Here is a discussion at xda about Desire and USB-Hostmode

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702742.

I'm searching for a new ROM and Kernel that support this because I have not the knowledge to patch the Kernel of my now used Rom by myself and I don't think the ROM will work correct with the Kernels I can download (other Versions).

Is it possible that someone build this into this Rom from?

Thx

What is the purpose of decompiling it?

In order to reduce the ROM size I have removed the xhdpi and xxhdpi files from this file. I could give you the original file if needed.
[Desire Android Development] rao.vinay:
A few more inputs..

After using it for half a day here's what I have -

Performance - seems to be smoother than v0.7 - no graphic glitches or choppy behavior.

Usability - can be used as a daily driver for your phone - lots of space for apps(after a2sd), phone/wifi/mobile-network/GEL/google-now/GPS-navigation/music/cam etc working fine. Fair battery life.

No reboots*/Force-closes etc. *(don't use the quick-reply from notifications and you're good).

One minor issue I faced - lockscreen rotation causes problems when you have screen security - I had PIN on, and due to rotation the lockscreen got all weird. I don't remember having that with v0.7(maybe it was there, but I switched off the auto-rotate).

All good otherwise. :good:

Were you trying to install all 3 zips in one go? In my case, I managed to boot up correctly, but then everything just crashed. Couldn't even open terminal to install a2sd script.

So I just flashed the rom first, booted up, installed a2sd, and then installed gapps and N5.

Hi, no only the CM11 zip and it does not boot, it gets stuck at the CM logo circling endlessly.

I did a2sd install with yyy, is it possible to revert back to internal memory without lossing anything?

if it is possible to revert wihtout loosing anything i will try to deinstall some apps, remove a2sd, then do the upgrade reinstall a2sd and then reinstall removed apps.....

I there!

With the new v0.8 version, Xposed Gravitybox will make everything go crazy... there a few mods that I would like to activate from there.

Also, since v0.7 the standard Facebook contacts sync feature is gone. In v0.6 the functionality was there even though it would always sync the full Facebook's contacts list and not only the common ones.

About the Google Maps not working in the Nexus 5 looks & feel.

You fixed it.

Sounds so easy.

Share your knowledge please.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
A2SD has a build in help menu. Review this post.
[Desire Android Development] rao.vinay:
Okay, the problem I faced was, whenever I tried to open up Google Maps, it would just FC with two error messages - one related to Google Maps not working and the second one - PICO TTS stopped working.

So to confirm if this was indeed an issue with PICO, I went into Settings->Language and Input->'Text-to-speech' and that too would crash. So confirmed, issue was with PICO.

How to get rid of PICO? I use Titanium Backup - Freeze feature - just in case I want to 'restore' it in case the phone stops working altogether.

Search for Pico-1.0.0, freeze it. That's about it! Maps and navigation started working for me..

Hope that helps..

Google Maps

I have 0.8 installed with Google Maps working.

But: When bluetooth headset is connect and BT setting "Media-Audio" is deactivated Navigon or Google maps should use the loudspeaker for directions. In this ROM the directions come through the earphone (not headset). Therefore I cannot hear directions. Everything works well with BT off. Can anybody confirm?

Maybe a bit offtopic, but I have 4ext recovery, and when I'm doing a wipe data/factory reset, format everything except SDCARD, wipe davlik, wipe cache and installing this v0.8 rom, after boot I still have all my previously installed apps from rom v0.5. What should I do to get a proper wipe???
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Wipe > format all partitions (except sdcard)

Thanks! I tried that one as well. I noticed it does not list 'sd-ext' in the log when I'm asking for full format. Seems this ext4 recovery does not see my ext4 partition...which is odd...

Phone and Mobile connection not working

Hi,

I installed the ROM on my device. Everything is working perfect, but now the phone says that there is no SIM Card inserted (Internet and phone doesn't work). The first time booting I had to enter my Pin code, then I had Internet connection.

Anyone got this problem too?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Which rom version?
[Desire Android Development] qwertz1029384756:
0.8
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Please try to take a logcat when this should reoccur.

Could you solve the issue by rebooting?
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Lots of questions

I have been having some force close issues on my 0.7 version, how much better is 0.8?

Also, when I was using the Miui ROM from the official site, I could dirty flash a newer version of the ROM without any problems. Why is this not possible with this ROM? I'm guessing it's because the GApps are removed? I think that's what bricked my phone before. It takes me too long to download all my apps again and set up correct settings.

Also, I've noticed that some of the apps on my phone are a bit laggy, I'm guessing this is because I use Mounts2SD and have apps and data moved to it. I don't know what my microSD card class is but I think it's a 2. What's the biggest size card the Desire can take and what class is best? What do other people use? I have 16Gb and thinking maybe I need a better class grade card.

Thanks in advance!

*Edit* Just to say that apps on my phone is randomly crashing and turning settings on in some apps. It was very smooth to begin with (when I first installed it), but now it seems to be going downhill. I've noticed that Swiftkey keyboard is getting slow and harder to type, I'm guessing this is because of my slow microSD card speed?

I'm also experiencing bad battery drain

And very slow rebooting when trying to reboot
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Before flashing the next ROM, try to format and/or repartition your SD. This should solve your problem.

Version 0.8 is the most stable one.
[Desire Android Development] WyvilleDog:
Thanks, I will give it a go! :good:

Out of interest, which ROM is more stable (and possibly smoothest?), KitKang, PacMan or Carbon? From the descriptions, the Carbon ROM would suit me best as I like minimal and fast (and stable).

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hard to say. There is not such a big difference regarding stability. It's a matter of taste. I personally like Carbon too. It has a few more features than CM.
[Desire Android Development] jojobanin:
Do i need to have s-off to flash the hboot
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yes you need s-off the flash an hboot. However this rom doesnt require you to change hboot. Stock works fine.

I was able to solve the crash when clicking on the clock weather widget by downloading an icon set. I've tried to put the missing files into the existing apk (after making room in /system), but with this the weather widget would no longer appear, only the clock part of the widget. With another icon pack, the forecast is shown correctly. Maybe you could mention this in your original post?

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Any idea what's wrong with USB storage? Does no one else have this problem? If so, how did you partition and format your sd-ext? Which tools did you use, does it matter? Can someone post fdisk -l and tune2fs -l here?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
How much space is left on the system partition after flashing gapps?

If it's 0.1mb or less then it is likely that gapps were partially installed. If that is so, try to delete a few unnecessary files (e.g. /system/tts) before re-installing gapps.
[Desire Android Development] wseza:
under v0.8 mms don't work for me. I'm alone ?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks for your feedback. I am not sure if I understood the first scenario.

I confirm that USB storage sometimes hangs. Just press home button to escape that. It is a minor issue an I will have a look into it some day..
[Desire Android Development] HvdW:
I have a Puppy Linux CD which helps a lot when you have things that are difficult to resolve.

In Linux you can format, resize or whatever with your SD card.
[Desire Android Development] dark$hadow:
It would help me if you explain what you don't understand. The LockClock.apk you provide in /system does not contain all icons. The package itself seems valid (no corruption). Therefore, the weather widget crashes when you tap it to see the forecast. The solution is to download a new icon set and choose that one.

If it were only a minor issue... It seems to cause file system corruption on my desire (external sd card). Pressing the home button does only seem_ to help.

Have you looked at the logcat I provided two pages before this one?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

My question was more about how specifically you partitioned your SD card, e.g. which software you used and in which order you create the partitions (first ext4, then vfat or the other way around) and which filesystem parameters you chose for ext4. I'm quite used to linux filesystem and partition tools (mkfs, gparted, fdisk) and know how to handle them, but I'd like to know if there are specific requirements for a2sd on my desire.

[MENTION=5421591]dark$hadow[/MENTION]

here is a brief response..

(1) USB

I do not have a clue yet what is the root cause for the USB storage problem. It looks like it is a CM specific bug because it does not reproduce on my Carbon 4.4.2 rom.

(2) cLock

Looks like I have caused this issue by slimming down the apk. The folder res/drawable-xhdpi is missing. I will attach the original apk (~8mb) for you here.
[Desire Android Development] dark$hadow:
(1) Thanks for your response. I have not used the USB storage functionality anymore, and everything is great and very stable. I'm quite satisfied with it and could live without USB, but I'm going to give the phone away to a relative.

Another question: Would it be possible to get MTP support for the desire instead of using USB mass storage? I ask this because activating USB mass storage also seems to unmount the external sdcard ext4 partition which holds the apps and dalvik cache... Is this really intended?

(2) I have tried adding res/drawable-xhdpi myself and put it back to /system, but with my custom apk the weather widget would not show anymore, only the clock. Never mind, I'll try your apk and see if it works, though there may not be enough space in /system. If it doesn't, it is solvable by downloading a new icon set from playstore. maybe you could add this issue to the bugs listed in post #1?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
BTW - I have uploaded a fresh gapps package (see 2nd post). It should solve the known connectivity/sync problems with your google account at the initial set up. There is no need for KitKang users to flash the new package. Only flash it when you have installed this rom or in case you have those problems described above.

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
No stress. Take your time. And please leave your feedback.

My phone did not heat up yet.. :D
[Desire Android Development] dark$hadow:
Thanks for the update.

First the bad things:

* I tried to flash 0.9 over 0.8, but it got stock in a boot loop. Wiping dalvik and cache didn't help. Maybe I should have flashed gapps immediately afterwards too. Never mind, I decided to do it from scratch. Backup rules!

* I confirm the setup crashes on the end of the first run. This has already been the case with 0.8 and is no issue, as you only have to do it a second time, and every choice will have been remembered.

* USB storage settings still result in force close when trying to select any option (MTP, camera, USB mass storage). No big deal, I can provide another logcat for this if you need me to. Otherwise it would probably be a good idea to mention this in known bugs on the first post.

Now the good things:

* It is again a tad snappier and smoother, even more than 0.8. Feels great for such an old device!

* The clock weather widget now works without crashing.

* USB storage no longer hangs, but you really have to 'eject' the device (in linux), only unmounting still produces the hang. No problem if one knows about it. However, even if it hangs it doesn't seem to produce file system corruption anymore, or at least I hope so. I'm using ext4 with journal and tune2fs -c 0 -i 0.

I have not tested every function again yet, but if it works as well as 0.8, with these improvements the HTC desire is now very usable and stable. I regret that I will get rid of it, but it will be a nice gift. Thanks for your work on this ROM.

Hi, spezi77,

thanks for effort, man! :good:

However, TitaniumBackup is complaining about age of used SU,

that might not work correctly, and recommend a SuperSU.

As I do not know, what to do, I simply restored contacts from Android 2.3.5 (sense)

which always leads to process FCs - Phone mostly and 2 more related...

Is it a problem of TB+old SU, or it can not be done that way or ...?

I have a few hundreds of contacts sorted in groups, so I would prefer to not them sort again.

Ever. If possible, you know... :cool:
[Desire Android Development] krachlatte:
is it possible to go from 0.8 to 0.9 just as an upgrade without TB reinstall and so on ?

Followed every step mentioned in the second post to the last word - clean flash rom, boot, install a2sd, reboot, set developer/performance tweaks, flash gapps.

Works like a charm!

Apart from all the things that were working fine, this version works superbly smooth and fast. Fixes to the USB problem works now. Also, haven't faced the WiFi toggling issue till now. LockClock and weather works now.

I am not able to reproduce the other issues reported people - the one they are facing with SU and Titanium Backup. Was able to backup and restore just fine. Brought my phone back to the previous state without any problem. Haven't tried backing up and restoring contacts, I do it using google's contacts.

Will see if I can reproduce the issue.
