[Desire Android Development] Cluey:
I did a lot of research on SD cards a while ago, but it was over a year ago and I'm going from memory here. I doubt anything's changed and we're also dealing with an old phone anyway.

The most important thing was the speed they do random 4k reads and writes.

If you look hard enough you can find benchmarks of different brands/models but then trying to find that specific card for sale adds another level of bother for what might not make a noticeable difference outside of specific benchmark tests. Also keep in mind that different capacity in the same model will have different speeds due to the way they read/write. Generally bigger cards are faster.

Also as ltGuillaume mentioned, part of the performance equation comes down to the interface controller in the Desire.

Back on topic now.

Chromium thank you for putting the time into making a great ROM, sure there's room for improvement but given the age of this phone this is awesome. :)

I've been setting this old phone up for a friend who doesn't have a phone so I've just been testing to make sure it won't be more hassle supporting him than it's worth. Along with a couple of other people I have noted the Superuser toasts granting things I haven't run, or even knew were included! The screen recorder is one that I noticed a few times.

On a few versions I've had the UI not completely start on boot, no desktop it's just a solid black background. When this happens if you go into the apps drawer and then back to the home screen the animation effect of the icons going big/small just keeps looking. I think one other person mentioned that and fixed it by reloading something, I should have taken notes. :(

I tried to work out what triggered it but couldn't get it to consistently happen, also you were putting new versions out pretty quickly for a while there so I'd flash a new version and if I got the problem I'd just blow it all away and start again. This is SO easy to do when it isn't the main phone you use.
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Apparently, I had the same problem with the background, and letters becoming double, even after a couple fo reboots. Looks like I solved the problem (for my Desire, each Desire has diffefrent problems) by installing HTC EleganceX Theme. For now it works:D

Hope it will last!! :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I believe [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] is using a2sd in his roms and recommends the y/n/y setup. This is essentially the same thing as using m2sd with the setup that I have provided in the OP. (Actually, with m2sd you are moving a bit more stuff such as libs). Therefore I dont see how it could be possible that you have more space using a2sd than with m2sd. You should have the same amount of space, in fact maybe a bit more with m2sd because libs are being moved too. Unless of course Im missing something obvious...in that case, please let me know.

:confused: Not completely sure what you mean here? The user tile in the quick settings panel?

Settings > Developer options > Restart SystemUI

Yeah, cant wait till I get a new phone and can use the desire primarily as a development device. But until then, I shall have to endure this device. :)
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Well I understand the obvious but the fact is that I'm getting not only less free space before installing user app (around 80mb instead of 100mb aprox) but also less efficiency moving app to sd-ext.

I've test it several times before reporting, if this is not a bug but my mistake I'll also what to know. [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] also uses your mounts2sd zip and works better in his Carbon Rom :confused:

Yeah quick settings panel the user tile do not work for me, when I try to access it to fulfil settings it just vanished

:good:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Strange. Maybe he can shed some light on what wizardy is going on here :)

Works fine for me:

That tile in the top left is what you're referring to, right?
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Lets see what he says, meanwhile I'll check md5 sums :silly:

Yes. Ok, I'll check out all my installation again, by the way are you serious about new release or just april fooling :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yeah, it was an april fools joke :p If you looked closely at my post, you could've seen that I wrote "April Fools" at the bottom, though it was in white so it wasn't visible unless you highlighted or replied to the post.
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Ok I'll do installation again check sum wrong, corrupted download ...:o , my fault, sorry.

So your rom is even better than I thought! :good:

how to include this commit https://github.com/scotthartbti/and...mmit/c885dc80f0d610ae4a94f37c3b82a850c6b316d8

actually desire is my only phone so I badly need the fix of WiFi.
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
Bad Joke:(:crying:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
That commit is already included. I believe that i need to revert (undo) that commit, because it seems to be causing the problem.

Lol, sorry I kinda feel bad now :(
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
Me too. Very badly!
[Desire Android Development] Colt0205:
Having some problems managing my apps. When I try to uninstall apps from the settings or from Google Play, it takes a loong, long time and then it resets itself (probably hot reboot).

These problems started to occur when I tried to update some of my apps to the newer version. It says insufficient storage when i try to update, so i need to do something for the /data/. What I tried to do was to clear data (i.e. Facebook data is usually around 20mb), so i would have for awhile more internal storage, and then the rom would let me update the app.

I guess then installing/updating the apps could be possible from the recovery? Because it really didn't help to download it from 1mobile market, get the apk, and then install it with beanstalk explorer.
[Desire Android Development] bundo111:
Is there any way to make more space on system? Like unused fonts, etc.

I need to push cca 5 mb app, but I don't have enough space.
[Desire Android Development] FastSkynet:
Walpapaers, Ringtones, Or change the keyboard with a smaller one
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:
Hello Chromium_...

I return with a question. I'm still using RC2 because I didn't have time to update even if I planned for a few weeks. Some days ago I encountered the low space notification. Today when I tried to update some apps for Play Store it gave me an error saying insufficient space. Mounts2sd settings were the one you provided, but now I tried to move data as well. So far so good, I guess, because I'm using a Class 10 card, but are there some tweaks in readahead values or shouldn't I mess with those?

Thanks for your work. :D
[Desire Android Development] JerryGoyal:
can u give me a temporary fix till new release, like replacing a file inside package or changing code etc.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
With RC4.5 there is actually quite a lot of free space on system. The roms system size is 190mb and the gapps use about 30mb, for a total combined size of 220mb. Therefore you should have about 30mb of free space left on system. Also, there isnt much else to remove. I took out a lot of stuff already like unused fonts, audio, apps, etc.

I personally havent made any changes to readahead values, but I think some others have had good results by doing so. Search through the thread to see if anyone has made suggestions.

No sorry, I have no temporary fix. My only possible way to fix it would require me to revert that commit and recompile my source (which takes about 3 hours). During that time, my laptop cant really be used, and currently I need it for the next week or two due to school work. I think next weekend (not this one, but the one after), I might have some time. If I do I'll compile a new build. Not completely sure if I'll have time though, so no guarantees. If someone would like to volunteer to do all of my school work, I would gladly pump out daily builds :p
[Desire Android Development] calculate:
Changing system language to german causes problems with the aokp-keyboard.

Replacing it with swift-keyboard and everything work fine.

I recognize no further problems yet.

Thanks chromium,

[Desire Android Development] aledex:
My phone completely stopped... "Android.process.media has stopped working".
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Try clearing dalvik. Always fixes the problem for me.
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
Yep, it fixed the problem for me, thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yes that's a know problem. The reason this happens is because I have removed all languages other than English from the AOSP keyboard that comes with the ROM. This was necessary because normally the size of the app is 40mb+ which won't fit on the desire. After removing the languages it goes down to around 4mb which is more suitable. As you noticed, getting other languages can be easily achieved by installing a different keyboard. (I'd suggest Google Keyboard).
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Havent tried this, but i enjoyed some noise when playing .mov recorded with VideoCamIllusion in the Android VLC Player. Playing it on the pc sound was ok though. Maybe this is related and its just a playback problem, not a recording problem... :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Is anyone else unable to write to the system partition using adb? For example if you try a command such as:

adb push App.apk /system/app

You get an error saying "Failed to copy. Read-only file system".

Just want to confirm that its not just me.

(and yes I have allowed root access to apps and adb in the developer options)
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
You should also give "adb remount" after the "adb root" command.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Thanks man :) I was using adb remount before but it was failing too saying "remount failed: Permission denied". But thanks to your post I retried by using the "adb root" command first and that did the trick. Thanks again, I was completely unaware of that command. In the past, I never had to use it to access system.
[Desire Android Development] Cluey:
Spot on, that fixed it. I guess you've had that happen too?

I too am disappointed by your April Fools joke, I told the guy I've been setting it up for that there's a new version imminent! :P

It all seems to work for me though, bar that occasional UI bug, short of using it as my daily phone for a bit to see but that seems more hassle than I really want.
[Desire Android Development] ltGuillaume:
Yes most probably there's something wrong with one of the libraries (*.so) concerned with playback? Or even some kernel related thingy.

I must warn y'all that one of the following init.d tweaks (or the combination of both) slow down the OS so much it's pretty much impossible to work with.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Actually its never happened to me. I just assumed that the problem was with SystemUI, so restarting SystemUI seemed like a logical solution.

Again, I apologize for the joke :p. I might have time next weekend to release a new build. (maybe...not sure)
[Desire Android Development] Cluey:
All good mate, I normally notice things like that.

School first other things when there's time.

If Ⓘ set the location settings to "Device only" I am unable to use any app that needs the current location. GPS icon in the status bar is shown, but it most definitely doesn't work at all.

I moved /data on my class 10 SD card with mount2sd and the phone became very very slow...so I suggest everyone not to move data on SD card.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
ok, my summary after around 2 weeks:

Compared with last Chromium build:

- a bit faster

- a bit more reboots

- significant lower battery life

thinking about switching back... battery life is like half of chromium.
[Desire Android Development] ltGuillaume:
Any init.d tweaks you got turned on?
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I activated all recomendated:

Clear cache, Enable speedy modified, Enable loopy smoothness

edit: my GF got V4.5 and she has the same problems.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Moving data to the SD seems fine on my phone (although I'm not the day to day user on it). I suspect performance differs significantly between different class 10 cards.

Just because a card has a good peak transfer rate, so achieves class 10, doesn't mean it's fast at random read/writes for small packets of data.
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
Yep... I have a class 4 and 10 both ultra version (which should be more suitable for smartphones), but I haven't noticed any major improvement between the first and the latter.

I've tried different mmc readahead with M2SD, and I haven't still found the best setting between 1024 and 2048.

Try disabling speedy modified and reboot.

I'll test it.

But i found another bug:

-> Changing the Lockscreen background doesn't work. I can pick a wallpaper, but he still uses the default.

[Desire Android Development] genseng:
Probably more like the hardware buttons are worn out from 3+ years of use ;)

Not aware of how to revive them, but a work around could be to enable one of the soft keys options. I personally like PIE.
[Desire Android Development] rodlane:
I suspected that, but the keys light up when pressed.

The problem is gone now. I disabled bunch of things, then enabled them again and the keys just started working. I have no clue what fixed it. The items I played around with were wifi, brightness, sound and some random launcher settings.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I find it a lot faster than ChromiumROM, but I dont agree with you on the reboots part. I rarely have any reboots.

Battery life has always been about the same for me on all 4+ roms. I use greenify, google now off, auto sync off, location services off. Usually get around 3 hours of screen on time and the phone will last me for a day (moderate - heavy use). Before I go to bed, I turn airplane mode on and leave the phone on overnight. It usually only drains 1 percent throughout the night. Not bad if you ask me.

Also I made a variation on the game 2048. Try it out and let me know what you think. (I attached the apk)
[Desire Android Development] Lethal_1:
Awesome Rom, Odd Reboots, Sms/Mms Glitchy.?

Wow!!?? Thankyou for an awesome ROM

I don't normally post much, always learning instead ...

It has now given new life again to my Htc Desire that my partner uses!

I have tried quite alot of roms, & by far, this BeanStalk Rom is the best!!

Installed as per 1st OP, smooth as, very quick, & I have heaps of space using M2SD.

I have never heard of or used m2sd before, & I'm very happy with it so far, no problems at all.

I use 4EXT as my recovery,

& I used the format feature to start from scratch on my SanDisk U1, C10, 32GB microSD card.

OK ... I do have 1 minor problem I would like solved, & honestly, it's the only problem so far!!

* Sms & Mms either sometimes work, or they don't work at all - My missus keeps telling me this!!

I miss sms's from her, & visa versa, MMS being the biggest contributor - We both use GO SMS PRO.

I have tried using the stock SMS app supplied, but I still have issues sending & receiving.? I dunno why.?

Apart from that, the only other thing that confuses me is the random reboots as well.? I need that fixed too!

Can anyone help or suggest anything.? I will give anything a go, I'm staying with this rom, it's the best by far!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
SMS works fine for me and I don't think anyone else has reported issues, so I think that problem may be on your end. On the other hand, MMS is a known problem, but it can be fixed by using an app called chompsms.

As for random reboots, you can help me by getting a log at the time that the reboot occurs. I'm not having any random ones, but I know a few things seem to cause it to happen (clicking quickly reply on text message notifications).

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION]_

I got a dumb question (as always), how to fix "low space" issue? I got 43MB free space left and trying to install tapatalk (18MB) and got "low space" message :/ over and over...it's a kind of annoying right now... I'm still on 2.5 or 3.0 realease - should I move to 4.5?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Try downloading the Tapatalk apk from somewhere and installing it directly. It seems that the play store checks your internal first and it doesn't realize that we are using m2sd, so it thinks we don't have enough space (even though we do),

Also titanium backup has an option to clear all user and system app cache. I find that usually frees up enough space to install new apps from the play store.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Ok, manual installation solved temporary this issue :P

Hi Chromium

Can You add spezi's Solution for vpn and tun.ko kernel , Please?

Here Is the link And This
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Sure i can include it in my next build, but i dont think anyone in spezi's thread has confirmed that it actually fixes the problem.

As for those wifi issues (getting stuck turning on and not auto connecting to know networks), i think i may have found a solution: settings > wifi > menu > advanced > uncheck wifi optimization. i did this yesterday and i haven't had these problems since.
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
I tried spezi's rom , tunko kernel was ok and i didnt get any error about it, But because I had problem with wifi and changing region code didnt help, so I turned back to Beanstalk 4.5 Hoping you add it to your Excellent Rom
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ah ok, so it does work. I'll add it in the next build. (hopefully this weekend if i have time)
[Desire Android Development] dado023:
hi all,

i installed this rom today, ver4.5+gapps+m2sd all zip files from first post.

My steps:

preparation: on existing JellyBean rom i backed up few apps with Titanbackup with appdata included.

Then i booted in recovery(4EXT Recovery), did full wipe, then installed Beanstalk and gaps.

After that i installed TitanBackup apk, and then restored few apps like keyboard, es file explorer .etc.

After a while i rebooted it, and then used my google account to login to Play Store, and to update and download apps, this is where it starts to hang.....apparently there seems to be something wrong with it, because it just stays in process of downloading, indefinitely, it doesnt finish download, just keeps download without stopping, and stays like it is download.....cant install apps.....

This is the screenshoot of PlayStore: you can see it just stays "Downloading...", but it doesnt do anything, what could be the problem? is it maybe m2sd? i did the setup as instructed on 1st page in this thread.

Better w/ChompSms, still rebooted 5x's during the day!?

Thankyou Chromium, my apologies for the late reply ...

My partner has now run the Desire using "ChompSMS" for the whole day,

even tho when I tested it the night before, it worked perfectly, no probs at all ...

Today it has run it's normal "daily" routine, I experienced the reboot while accessing the ChompSms app!?

Before it did that, it did this graphic tearing/blurring, like a glitch, it looked very weird, b4 it did it's own reboot.

I've now disabled the stock Sms-App to see if it might be a conflict, & see if it runs any better or smoother etc.

P.s. Is it worth "

Re-Flashing

" the ROM over the top, to self-fix these 2 issues.? - I've done this b4 with other roms!

If anyone has experienced this, please let me know how you fixed it so I can learn & fix it too, because this is an awesome Rom!

Wifi problems

One of the things I did this week trying to solve my wifi-problems was setting the Wifi regioncode to Europe.

After that I noticed that when I don't have wifi I can solve it by turning off and on. Before setting the regioncode Ioften had to reboot the phone.

So this above link points in the right direction for solving one thing.:good:

Now we need a final solution for autoconnect to known wifi-networks. That could be turning-off Wifi-optimalisation. But does it drain the battery?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I havent noticed much of a difference.

Also new build is currently compiling. I included all of the stuff under the "to do" header in the OP, and I also cherrypicked some kernel commits from croniccorey's eternity kernel. Im trying to get this rom to the smoothness that WoH achieved with his PA 3+ builds (those were definitely the fastest roms I've ever used on my desire), so I looked through his old sources and found that he had enabled o3 optimization. Im assuming that may have been why it was so fast, so I have likewise enabled it. Hopefully this build will be uber smooth :)

O3 is essentially the highest level of optimization in the GCC compiler. Read more here if you'd like.

Sorry guys, I messed up the o3 optimization flag and built without it. Once I realized this, I fixed the flag typo and recompiled, but by the time it was done it was quite late...so I fell asleep. Anyways, I'm going to test this build in a few hours and release it today after I check that everything's OK.
