Please put that in OP. Solved my problem with filled-up /data, now 84mb free.

Installed Calendar from store, but couldnt find the Keyboard so i went for Swiftkey.
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Hallo Chromium,

thank you for the fast response. "Google keyboard" does not exist in playstore. GO-Keyboard is the closest hit. Is that what you mean?

Regards,

Gregor
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Done.

No, I did mean Google Keyboard. Its here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

However its possible that the app is not available in your country. In that case you could just download the apk from here and install it, or you could just go with another multilanguage keyboard from the play store.

Every single day I'm checking this thread and thinking, should I move from ChromiumROM build 11? :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Do it! :) Trust me, I never liked ChromiumROM in terms of speed and stability, or even functionality. In fact, I did not even use it because of these reasons. This rom however, I thoroughly enjoy. Its very smooth and stable, plus it has LOTS of customization. Its definitely much better than ChromiumROM in my opinion.
[Desire Android Development] kakofonija:
thank you, system apps and media can also be moved to sd-ext without any system lag... m2sd is my app of choice from now on, it created many more space than anything i tried till now on my slow class 4 card
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yep, I like the fact that you are able to easily configure what you want moved to the ext. Im currently satisfied with just moving Applications, Libraries and Dalvik, but if others would like to move more feel free. The settings I recommended are just a base to work with.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Well, instalation ran smoothly (did it 5 min ago), mount2sd, gapps. First impression - woah... just woah...

Just one issue... SO many options, SO many ways to **** up :D
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
I spent whole night having fun... with Desire.

I just got 2 questions - probably I just can't find proper options:

- how to remove ALL recent apps?

- how to set readahead value of SD card (build in options are not working, same with rom toolbox pro) - still 512 :P

Ok, one more, is there a build-in adblock feature like in Chromium or I have to get it on my own?

Overall, speechless.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
- Settings, beanstalk options, misc options, recent view settings, clear all button

- Settings, performance control, menu, switch to tabbed, scroll to advanced settings, storage read ahead

No there isn't built in ad blocking. You can use adaway though, which is working great for me. The reason I didn't include built in ad blocking is because it doesn't allow you to easily change your whitelist. Sometimes I want to turn off ad blocking, so adaway is good for that.
[Desire Android Development] Gregor07:
Thank you. It's working fine. Very nice ROM!!!:fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
:good: Worked for me. Just made a backup from recovery, let's begin to have some serious fun...
[Desire Android Development] koolkunz:
AdFree is also another great adblocker..it blocks everything
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
I stuck with adaway. Previous rom I was using had build-in adblock feature so I didn't have to install 3rd party software. I've been using adaway in spazedog and cyanomod :P

One issue MMS :P I missed boobies pic sent by my girl :P Still surprised how this rom fast is, all apps I wanted are running, even better because mapfactor navigator doesn't FC. For now I'm happy :)
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Use ChompSMS, it is the only way to have MMS working ;)

[Desire Android Development] Plex.Le:
Thanks for the rom. It feels quite smooth, but misses some languages, like chinese. When I installed with my sim on, choosing english, some word didn't show up. After I remove the sim, everything works fine. Could you please get chinese back in the next release?
[Desire Android Development] Mad Marty:
Only English language is in ROM due to space constraints. You can download the Google Keyboard from the Play Store, a link was posted only a few posts back.
[Desire Android Development] polac:
Can´t flash mounts2sd file!
[Desire Android Development] Plex.Le:
Thanks,keyboard seems to be the key part solving this issue, after installing keyboard, I put .ttf files in the font folder and it worked. It force close if I didn't install keyboard first. It's strange since google keyboard doesn't support my language, but it solves the problem.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Thanks, your post is very informative and useful! *sarcasm*

Maybe if you actually provide us with some details we can attempt to help you.

Hello Chromium_!

I decided today to change my Desire's ROM to this one. First impression: brilliant! I've never had more than 250MB of free RAM on any 4.x ROM I've tried. Somehow I messed with some settings and I have to reflash it again. :D But first I want to ask you some questions:

- is there any problem if I flash the ROM while charging?

- I've seen some minor hangs in some animations, I guess they are pretty normal, aren't they?

- for a class 10 SD card, are there any other options I can use for MountsSD besides those you recommended in order to maximize internal space?

- also, where can I find the original Nexus 5 wallpaper provided for base 4.4 that fits our Desire's resolution?

Thanks for your work and I hope my questions aren't too stupid to being answered.

Cheers!

Wallpapers http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/03/download-8-wallpapers-from-android-4-4-kitkat/

I installed this rom while charging, I always do it with plugged phone in to pc/charger.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I dont see anything wrong with doing that. I do it all the time.

Yep, there's a few little occasional stutters, but nothing too bad. If you havent already, try doing whats listed under the Optimized Settings header in the OP. That seems to have reduced most lags for me.

With a class 10 you might be able to get away with moving Data as well, but I have no personal experience doing this, so i cant tell you if it will work well. You can try, and if it causes performance issues just disable it.

Here. Ive resized it so it will fit perfectly without having to crop. (960x800)
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:

Yes, I've already done anything you indicated in the OP. Thanks for your help with resizing, I was beaten by it. :laugh:

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
I am using this and move data too and its working fine for me
[Desire Android Development] Colt0205:
I would like to continue my post that I was writing earlier about some crash problems.

To be more specific, the process.android.media is the one that crashes down on some occasions. For example if i try to change my ringtone, it doesn't let me do it, then it crashes and goes back to the menu.

Same thing with using the google play, when I try to open it the same process.android.media crashes and can't open google play. Probably only solution so far is to reboot the phone.

I hope this will be fixed for the next release. Otherwise everything works well.
[Desire Android Development] GDB007:
This is realy best rom for Desire. Using this rom for two weeks and I haven't any softreboots. Thx for greet rom!

I have only issue with Torch.

1. It doesn't work with screen off (This problem exist in many KitKat roms, but has been fixed in latest Nikez build)

2. It doesn't turn off, when I press button, it turns off and then turns on again

3. When I turn on torch from power widget, it turns on and then turns off

And the second problem which I have on many 4.4 roms (in 2.3 it works normal, so that isn't hardware problem):

when I connect headphones, music continue playing in speaker. I must reconnect headphones a few times, only then it connects. Someone have same problem?

Sorry for my English

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Im currently compiling a new build. Main changes are feature additions from beanstalk (check their git if you want to see specifically whats been merged). Ive also added most of the stuff under the To Do section in the OP. Hopefully this compile, or I'll be sad.

Edit: Not working as nicely as I would like it to. This may take a while :(
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Oh, and I found something, nothing special. Some glitches in AOSP browser, application restart fixes them.

Is there a small chance to get MMS working somehow? I'm fine with chomp SMS but just a little bit afraid of its security and privacy.

- battery life is ok, 24h with 3G/Wifi

- stability - perfect (any single reboot so far)

- most of apps are running fast and without FC (dropbox has some issues but **** it)

IMO 9/10 for beanstalk, and 15/10 for Chromium.
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:

One day of heavy use so far, the ROM is stable as a rock. I didn't seem to find any music player installed. I am pretty familliar with Apollo I used on VJ's 4.2.2 and I would like to have it on this ROM as well. If I use the last version (for CM11) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625426 would it be ok?

Offtopic: can someone recomend me a nice clock & weather widget? :laugh:

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ok so as you guys may have realized, my build yesterday failed (miserably). My problem is that now its a huge pain to update to newer Beanstalk sources because I must also keep the old changes necessary for everything to work with the desire. When I update my sources, it'll fetch all of the new commits but those may be incompatible with the old repos that have been modified for the desire. So my options now are:

- Update to newer builds by just cherry picking individual commits made to settings and frameworks (a quite bad/desperate solution)

- Delete all of my sources and start fresh. This way would require me to backup what I currently have (so that we dont lose beanstalk forever :p), but my other problem is that Im running out of space on my Ubuntu partition. I would have to delete my sources for ChromiumROM (CM10.1) in order to make room to backup beanstalk. Then I would redownload the current beanstalk sources, and readd the changes needed for desire compatibility. This time I will upload all of the changed repos to my git and direct my source to fetch future updates for those repos from my git rather than beanstalks. The problem here is that I kind of forgot all of the things I needed to do to get it working, however this is probably the better way to go around this. Also doing it this way would allow me to more easily update in the future.

Anyways, I've got a week off of school so something will very likely be released soon. Its just that building kitkat on my laptop takes so long, and when it fails i just become completely demotivated to continue. But hopefully I get it soon :)

Edit: So Ive gone with the second option. Already redownloaded the latest sources and compiling now. This seems more promising and likely to succeed than yesterdays build.
[Desire Android Development] Skippernl:
Do not worry.

I can wait for another while. I am than full that there are a few good men that keep the desire alive.

[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
So it failed again today (using the latest sources with proper implementation of bravo stuff). Got a lot further though, and I was quite confident that it would work. Seems to be some sort of toolchain issue, but hopefully its not too hard to fix. Also my laptop charger seems to have toasted itself while I was compiling. Too much exertion maybe. Anyways, I'll have another try tomorrow. Need to look for solutions.

2. someerrors.txt - some repeated error, over and over.

Regarding the spanish language inside the ROM

Hi Chromium.

I'm an user of your Chromium ROM and now that your work there is already finish I would like to move to your "new baby" Beanstalk. Before do that I would like to know if after the setup in English and after have installed the google keyboard (not available in the spanish Play Store) is it possible to change the ROM language to spanish, not only the keyboard. At the end..... is the spanish language included in the ROM???

Thanks so much to keep alive my loved Desire !!! :D

PD: Should I change from Chromium build 11 to Beanstalk Release 2 now or is it better to wait for the upcoming Release 3 ??? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
1. Google Keyboard APK

2. Yep, there is "Espanol" in Language settings, I'm using PL as well.

3. "Should I change from Chromium build 11 to Beanstalk Release 2" - Yep, I moved from Chromium Build 11, and it's fine. For MMS there is an app in Play Store called ChompSMS.
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:
I am running out of memory. Could you guys please show me a screenshot of your mout2sd setup? I have 36MB free - to low for installing an an like dropbox...

Smooth and fast..

Complements on creating a smooth and fast kitkat roms and keeping our desires alive. Great work and keep it up! :good:

One problem I faced quite a few times was while using the Hangouts app for SMS, the phone just restarts. Other messenger apps seems to be working fine.

Another issue or a graphics glitch is that while closing some apps, the home screen just goes black, and all text (including the notifications bar) becomes messed up. Only way I found to recover from this was to restart.

Awaiting the next version!

Thanks!! :)

EDIT: Faced another restart while using the default messenger app. Was trying to reply to a message directly from the notification.
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
These are my settings.

Also have swap partition 1GB & Swapper 2
[Desire Android Development] MICH_**:

Thanks Ill take a look when i have some time. I actually had one of those alarm disco things too yesterday :p

If your sd card isnt great I would highly suggest what Ive stated in the OP. Heres what it should look like. Also make sure that you check the "Clear cache" option in init.d options so that cache will be cleared every boot. The cache for each app is still left on internal and i find that it can get pretty big. However it can easily be cleared. Just go to Settings > Storage > then tap on cached data. It'll give you the option to delete all of it. I find that it usually clears up around 50mb on internal and then im able to install apps again.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
[MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION]

[Desire Android Development] koolkunz:
I can confirm trying to use ART causes bootloop...
[MENTION=4883664]Chromium_[/MENTION] Devs at HTC Explorer have made ART usable on their devices despite having similar internal storage as our desire...maybe anyone who knows about developing can ask them for help
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Hmmm,

Since ART needs lots of space, if with mounts2sd all is mapped to sd-ext, should it have enogh space? Or not?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Space is not a problem, I just moved data to sd-ext and beanstalk get very laggy. Sd card speed is a problem.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yea Im guessing thats what needs to be done. Im trying to find a thread for the HTC Explorer where they explain how they managed to do it.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Finally got it to work!

So now I just gotta add some of the stuff back in from the old build. (trackpad wake, bionic optimizations, etc). Should be released later tonight, or tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
First thanks Chromium for the great rom :D

But I have a little problem about my calender widget.

I'm using pure grid calendar widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar)

It was all fine in my previous custom rom with android <4.2.2

But after I flash beanstalk, my phone will freeze and reboot once I tap on the widget,

which it supposed to pop out a window about my schedule of the day.

So I tried to make a logcat, but I also failed.

It just loops and loops with some unknown lines....

But I upload it anyway.

Would it by any chance that the current beanstalk is not supporting this kind of pop up animation??

Any help would be appreciated :good:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Sorry I cant find anything useful in the log. Maybe try contacting the developer of the app?

Update: Release 3 - Beanstalk version 255

As promised I have uploaded my new build. Full changelog and download link can be found in the OP. This build is currently completely up to date with all beanstalk sources. This includes a few more features such as custom lockscreen wallpaper, toast animations, identicons, notification reminders, and a bunch of other stuff. There have also been lots of fixes and optimizations merged onto BS git, so thats all included as well. In addition to that, I have taken a look at the android document for "Running Android with low RAM" and I've added all of the changes recommended there. Other than that, I just fixed a few little things like the downloads app crashing and that audit error that was looping in the logcat. Oh and i enabled the building of the tun.ko module, so VPN apps should hopefully work now. Overall it feels snappier and smoother than the last build, and the new features are nice too.

I tried dirty flashing but it didnt work well (everything was crashing), so full wipe is the way to go. Enjoy and let me know how it is :)

Hi Thanks for the post (like i said ive already got 3.2 - best version if you ask me) hopefully the dev can build it it.. in the mean time the apk helps others rock it on RC3.

Works great with Bean Stalk.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I removed it to make room on /system for gapps.

Theres m2sd.

Yeah, as some users have realized, they no longer work on this build. Im guessing because a lot of commits went into optimizations so there may be conflicts. But after flashing the new build, it honestly felt faster than RC2 even with the optimized dalvik libs.

And I just found out that BS merged the new Slim recents (which im a fan of) last night, so Im going to try to do a new build today with that included.

Talk about bad timing for my syncing, lol. If i waited one more day to build RC3...would've saved so much time.
