I like email though :)

I didnt include Holo Launcher.

Perfect, thanks. I'll do this.

I'm also recompiling without including ART, so hopefully that reduces size a bit.

Why's torch useless? I merged spezi's fix for torch not staying on when screen goes off. Already removed voice dialer and beanstalk widgets are very small.

Yup, m2sd doesn't need much space anyways.

Will do. Google keyboard is available in the play store here in canada, but I guess in some other countries its not.
[Desire Android Development] Lonely_Boz:
Thanks! Works now. :good:
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
Just one question,

as different people have different preference on what apps is included or not,

is it possible that we add/remove apps by ourselves using software simply like Winrar before we flash the rom?

Because I add back the fallback font by winrar myself every time, but I don't know if adding/removing apps can be the same.

Also, I noticed that I can't screen off my phone when it is just booted up and still loading apps and widgets. The power button is fine because it does respond when i longpress. I also tried softkey power button, but also no luck. I have to wait until it loaded everything before I can lock my phone.

Anyone experience this?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yep that's fine, but I'd recommend putting the apps into /data/app/. System is usually space constrained so putting apps there might make it too big to fit onto the desires system partition.

I'm pretty sure that is normal behavior.
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:

sorry for off topic but ...wow! latest google search update 3.3.11.* brings Say "Ok google" on my desire... just wow

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Really weird. I'm confused by the fact that it's working fine for some (me included) , while others are having issues. What language did you select on start up?
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:
German :)
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Aha! I think I know the problem. I had to slim the keyboard in order to get the ROM to fit on the standard desire hboot. So i removed all languages except english. Could you please try full wipe and reflash, but this time use English? If this is the problem I'll have to find a way to get other languages in.
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:
sure :) just a second

keyboard now working with englich (US) selected !
[Desire Android Development] koolkunz:
Add this as a note OP before more people start asking
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I will once MICH_** confirms that this is indeed the problem.
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:
I can confirm that this is the problem :)
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yay. Anyone have some idea on a good solution or workaround for including other languages?
[Desire Android Development] koolkunz:
One possible solution...make flashable language packs on the request of users and keep adding them to OP..so other people with same language can use it
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:
Is there a way to get the Google launcher from nexus 5?
[Desire Android Development] koolkunz:
Yes....

1) Make sure you have latest version of Google search installed

2) Download and Install this http://www.mediafire.com/download/1p776yioo5k4lvo/GoogleHome-0.10.1.920880.apk

3) Reboot once if you get placeholder error
[Desire Android Development] Paco52327:
Hi. MMS work with data disabled?
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Personally the first thing I do before installing any rom is to delete launcher.apk and latinime.apk. Instead of them, I place a copy of Hacker's keyboard apk and nova 2.2.3 version (not the latest one 2.3, as it always lags for me) in /system/app. With this setup, everything works fine for me.

However I don't know if you are allowed to include hacker's keyboard apk by default in your rom, even though it is freeware. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] p70shooter:
Very excited :) Downloading now, I love beanstalk. Thank you very much :)
[Desire Android Development] p70shooter:
Wow. Installed and all running good. Great work :)
[Desire Android Development] bundo111:
I am using it for a day, and only bugs i saw are that high brightness in torch isn't working (works for a sec, turns off) and random screen flashing (just a few times).

The rest of it works like a charm. It is fast, there is a lot of free ram (mostly between 200 and 250 mbs), very stable, etc.

looking forward to new releases, good job mate :)
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
For slimming down the rom, you could remove Gallery2.apk and use GalleryGoogle.apk instead. The advantage of GalleryGoogle is that it can be installed on /data.

My first impression on beanstalk:

- fast (especially nova launcher)

- eye candy

- interesting rom control options

- HW keys do not work, except for the Home button

- even with softkeys on, the back button does not work for me

Keep up the good work! :cool:
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Both HW keys and softkeys work for me as expected, each and every one.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Thanks for the feedback. Im also loving the fact that theres so much free ram. Im guessing its a kitkat thing, cause on jellybean i was usually around 100mb of free ram.

Thnaks for the suggestion. Ill do that in the next release. As kostelo said, HW keys are working fine for me. :eek:
[Desire Android Development] p70shooter:
Hw keys are working for me as well.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
PM me within the next two hours if you want to test RC4.
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:

[Desire Android Development] DMBFR:
Impossible ton download release 4, it's normal?
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
Same problem, but it's desire's fault... It has too little internal memory, and big apps won't install. You have to move also data to SD if you want to...

(By the way, it got installed restoring it from titanium backup).
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
You should long press the shutter button before taking the picture so that it focuses first.

I havent uploaded it yet. Just put the changelog there.

Im currently testing it to make sure all is good, and I'll release soon.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Cleaning cache & dalvik via recovery solved it, nothing special. Ok Google "go **** urself"...:p:silly:
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:
ok, I manage to install ton of apps and everything works as expected, speed of rom is at pair with earlier versions (subjective opinion), nothing faster or slower... keyboard animations works, Status bar clock and date font style - here, Status bar color and Battery bar works... rom is ready for release if you ask me

there is still system crash when interacting with notifications (share, reply etc.)... and I forget to test torch, i automatically uninstalled, old habit, don't like that app, sorry

sorry for delay and many thanks, you doing great job here...
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Update: Release 4

New download links for RC4 have been added to the OP. This build contains the latest Purity bionic optimizations and newest features merged from beanstalk including battery bar, status bar colors and fonts, and keyboard animations. There are also a few fixes in there. I have also removed ART from the build since it was useless on the desire anyways and caused my builds to take longer and the rom to be slightly bigger. In addition that, the rom is now using Adreno libs from the mako which should help GPU performance. Also thanks to spezi77, the torch bugs are now fixed. It will remain on even while the screen is off, and high brightness works properly. Finally, again thanks to some tips from spezi77, I was able to slim the system size of the rom down a bit more by moving some stuff to data.

Now onto installation: This release can be dirty flashed over 3.5! However, if you decide to dirty flash make sure that you flash this zip right after you flash RC4. The zip will restore m2sd and your previous configuration. If you dont flash this, you will run into issues. So make sure you flash it. Obviously, you dont have to dirty flash. Feel free to do a clean install if you desire, but I personally find it much easier to dirty flash and not lose my apps and settings. Also I found that after the first boot the rom was a bit laggy, so if you encounter this, let the phone settle down for a few minutes then reboot again.

This release will probably be the last one for a while since I'm going back to school next week and work is going to start to pile up.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this week of updates :) Follow me on twitter

I do not have to flash gapps after dirty flash?

bit off topic: is there any app for flashing recovery?
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:

Nope.

Wow thnx for the new build - you're quick ! :)

A question:

How can I enable long presson the back button to kill the forground app ?

Dev options & "settings->buttons" don't have any options to map the "back" button.

Please advise,

Thanks Again :)
[Desire Android Development] Krowne:
Thanks for everything. A2sd is included in this release or we have to keep using m2sd?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Sorry I dont think theres a way to do that.

If you use the navbar this can be done though.

Nope, still m2sd. I don't have any plans to switch to a2sd, as m2sd is better imo.
[Desire Android Development] Mastermindsaifee:
Same results .......
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Working fine here. Just took this pic to test it.

Didnt you recently have some camera hardware issues? Maybe thats the cause.

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
VPN is currently not working and there are no known fixes at the moment. Also could you not quote the entire OP when you post. It creates a mess. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Mastermindsaifee:
Yup i got some issues but when phone comes from troubleshooter after the issue resolved it was on 2.3 and the camera result is ok, it focuses correctly , then i again flashed rom, and its focus is out :/
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
I agree. It is more flexible and has good support of the developer.

Thank for another release. Just installed it and it is looking fine.

[Desire Android Development] EvilShadeZ:
After R3.5 It felt kinda slow, atleast on my device, and I wanted to disable translucent status bar.

I think that there should be a setting for that, but there isn't.

So while downloading R4 I decided to look into build.prop and set persist.sys.force_highendgfx to false.

Wasn't quite a fan of what google done in KK, I'd much more prefer status bar which would be transparent, but would still be having color, simmilar to what HTC Does.

Anyways... thanks Chromium again!

Dirty flashed version 4 over 3.5. Used mounts2sd restorer.

All went smooth!

Did with TWRP 2.7.0.0.

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION], thanks for all, both ROM and recovery!

Edit:

Fast,responsive, all better, about 25% compared to 3.5.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Anyone else noticing lag when scrolling through the nova app drawer in RC4? I think it's because of the Adreno libs. Soooo...I lied about RC4 being the last build for a while. I'm gonna have to release RC4.5 with Adreno libs reverted.
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:
here on GEL everything is smooth... btw. where I can find beanstalk nightly changes and follow development?
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Tested the Version 4 for 6h now... was a bit tricky to install it in germany... the keyboard switched to german after GSM found APN. I just pulled the SIM out for installation, so i was able to install it in english.

And it's incredible, never been so satisfied by a ROM... will poste more after a few days of testing, but so far it's the best ROM I ever used!
[Desire Android Development] senseii:
ok so a lil bit slower..but man you are just literally keeping my phone alive, was dreaming bout gettin a moto x but now i'll stick with Beanstalk till the Moto X 2 is released in august. Thanx again for all your hard work, you are the only dev I know of that actually uses their old school htc desire on a daily basis! Nuff respect - a!
[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
Thank you for maintaining this ROM! Really good job. Just one request, could you replace BeanStalk FileManager with CyanogenMod FileManager? CM one looks better, have more functionality and is multilingual. Thanks.

EDIT:

RC4 runs smoother than RC3.5 on my Bravo. And I can't really see a difference in app drawer.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yep, check out Scott's github: http://www.github.com/scotthartbti. At the time of this post, the rom is fully up to date with all of the commits from there.

Can someone who has used Nova on previous versions and RC4 please tell me if they noticed lag while scrolling through the app drawer in RC4. Just want to confirm that I'm not going nuts. Edit: Just saw [MENTION=2726184]senseii[/MENTION]'s post, thanks.

Sure, I'll include it in RC4.5.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Did you clean install or dirty install?
[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
Clean. But now tried again both versions and... I must agree with:

This is weird because everything else seems to be smoother.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yep, I dirty flashed RC4 over RC3.5 and can definitely feel a difference in the app drawer. All previous versions were very smooth in the app drawer, but this build has some stuttering. Other than the app drawer scrolling, everything else feels a bit smoother than the previous build. This is probably due to the updated purity bionic. RC4.5 with removed adreno libs should be out in a few hours.
[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
BTW, Gapps get installed on system or data partition?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
System. But now that I think about it, maybe we should be installing them into /data/app (which is really /sd-ext)
[Desire Android Development] g1b50n:
Mms app work properly in this relase 4?

I want to move from chromium but on kit kat roms i can't get my old messages from backup... Strange...

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Nope, sorry. Same mms issues as previous builds.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Minor Update: Release 4.5

As expected, not much has changed. I just removed the mako adreno libs, and sure enough, scrolling in app drawer is smooth again. So those were indeed the culprit. I also replaced the BS file explorer with the CM one as requested by Dragonji.

By removing those libs along with spezi's slimming tips, the roms system size is now only 190mb. I realized that if we enable moving system apps to sd-ext with m2sd, about another 30mb will be freed up on system. At that point, the rom should be able to work with Alpharev's Data++ hboot. (system:180mb, cache:5mb, data:252mb) That leaves us with lots of space on data (252mb)! I havent tried this setup yet, but theoretically it should be fine. If anyone gives it a go, let us know.

Dirty flash from RC3.5 or RC4 is fine as long as you flash the m2sd restorer right after.
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
Actually I don't quite understand this part.

enabling system apps to sd-ext via m2sd needs to boot normally and opens the m2sd apps first right?

But shouldn't we do a full wipe if we flash hboot? And if we do that shouldn't the m2sd will be removed?

Or we can activate m2sd in recovery and without full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
In RC4 I'm getting " Unfortunately , the proess com.android.phone has stopped working "
[Desire Android Development] zinconnu:
Thanks for this update! Is there an easy way to add a language to the ROM? Because all my apps are in english. =/
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
No lag for me here. Weird.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

@Chromium, can you just provide changed libs in 4.5, so we don't need to flash entire ROM? No need for flashable zip, will replace via Total Commander.

Blank Screen Hang and Auto Reset

Hi Developer:

I am experiencing blank screen hang when I am waking up the phone. sometimes it appears the display but most of the time only buttons glow the light but no display, so I have to forcefully reset the phone by pressing power+ Vol- and Trackball buttons. Sometimes when I am trying to wakeup the phone it got auto reset.

Kindly tell how can I take the traces for this phenomena or you are already aware of it ??

One more thing, dial pad appearance is alos very slow , sometimes I have to make quick calls but it respond very slow.

Just installed rom v4.5....

1. I can't find CM's explorer in the app drawer.

Does it even exist in the rom ? :confused:

2. Can't get ADB to work with windows.

prior version did not have any problem.

(*under dev options I checked: andrw debugging & enabled "root access" to aps&adb.)

what's wrong ?

EDIT

Don't ask me why... But after switching to ART ( not debugging ) under dev settings, the phone restarted and retain in dalvik mode.

But only now, the ADB works with the computer....

before that, I made restart to the phone and to the computer... but non worked.

So that point is solved - somehow...

You have to make the SMS Backup&Restore App the primary SMS App for the import (Android 4.3+ Changes).

After that you can make the SMS App again the primary one (did that yesterday).

if so, [MENTION=235921]cmd[/MENTION] (on windows) run the command "adb reboot-bootloader" -> using volume-

& power button as "enter" key, you can navigate to recovery. :angel:

you must have the necessary ADB files of course.

you can also achieve that using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" if you got fastboot mode. ;)

Dude... I don't wonder/complain about ART working status, but about the weird fact that after I switched to ART(theoretically), ADB SUDDENLY "decide" to WORK after

reboot. ( of course after reboot I was still using DALVIK - as this is the only method exist on that RC )

After I installed a fresh RC4.5( performed full wipe), I didn't have any ADB connection - although I config it right in the dev option+performed multiple restarts on the phone&computer+ADB worked on preview RCs.

Only after that I switched to ART - again theoreticly... the ADB works.

If someone installed RC 4.5 ( full wipe before ) can you please confirm that you've got ADB problem as well ?( WITHOUT "switch" to ART as I did ) :confused:

Anyone installed Google launcher? And using it?

Tried it, asks to install latest version of Google search. Installed it also.

When launching Google launcher, asks all over again to install latest version of Google search, although it is installed.

Any idea?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I was just thinking about what could be done. Basically this would be the process:

- Full wipe

- Flash RC4.5

- Flash m2sd and enable moving: system apps, apps, dalvik cache and libraries

- Confim that there is <180mb of content on /system

- Flash data++ hboot

However, I seem to have completely forgotten about space needed for gapps. So this wont really work atm unless you dont flash gapps.

Sorry man, I deleted my whole vendor repo containing the new libs and replaced it with my old one, so I have no idea which ones were changed.

Someone mentioned that enabling "Fix permissions" in beanstalk init.d settings fixes xposed issues.

Should work.

I have not experienced these problems. Could you get me a logcat.

Nope.

1. I included it, but for some reason it hasnt appeared. As you can see in the rom zip, the file is located in /data/app. It might need to be installed to /system/app.

2. Strange. Adb worked fine for me on RC4.5. (I tested both a full wipe and a dirty install...adb worked on both)
