No dont install the radio again. Once you've installed it once, thats good enough. Flashing radios is relatively risky, since if your radio partition becomes corrupted your phone is very likely going to be bricked for ever. So keep radio flashing to a minimum and try not to do it often,

This can be temporarily fixed by Settings > Developer options > Restart SystemUI.

Also I think the speedy modified init.d tweak is whats causing this, so if you disable it you should no longer have the flickering.

2.3 is gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Hello,

2.3 is GB. But I dunno for 100% in which GB rom for desire MMS is working. I never use MMS.

According to a post in this thread someone managed to get MMS working with Beanstalk. Why don't you give it a shot before switching over to a GB rom?

And last but not least, I would kindly ask you to post into the right thread. This thread is meant for BS development.

Thanks very much!

Have a nice day. :cool:

I love this Rom and have been using it for months now. Appart from the occasional dalvik reset to get rid of the graphik glitches after a reboot, only one thing bothers me: how to activate usb-otg to access USB storage?

Ahhh... or might it be that i have to use a powered otg cable for phones ?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
I use MMS because they are 10x more popular in my country than emails.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Has anybody compared this ROM to any other KitKat ROM? My Desire is still too unstable with this, force restarting, boot looping until dalvik is cleared, and generally restarting without wifi.

I'm getting to the stage of considering replacing the phone.... Which would be a big shame.
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
Oh ok in mine its not haha
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:

[Desire Android Development] MarekAG:
Yyyy... I'm also from Poland and I must say that you're wrong ;)

Me, my family, all my friends and people I know - no one uses MMS here. I have send only couple MMS in my whole life.

Please don't express your own perspective as opinion of all people in PL.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Moja dziewczyna korzysta z MMS, matka z MMS, ojciec z MMS, wuj z MMS, emaile wymieniam tylko z 3 osobami.

Nie każdy musi mieć smartfona, większość ludzi w PL ich nie ma a nawet jak posiada to nie potrafi wysłać emaila.

Każdemu z osobna mam tłumaczyć?

Nie jestem w błędzie, sprawdź sobie dane statystyczne, MMS spada ale ma się ciągle nieźle i większość ludzi tak wysyła zdjęcia.

Jeśli jest możliwość naprawienia tej funkcjonalności to dev moim zdaniem powinien się nią zainteresować.

[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
The best solution is to fully wipe everything except sd card in 4ext recovery and then flash RC5.

???
[Desire Android Development] dado023:
1) i see you mentioned ext4 receovery, but i am using TWRP 2.7, is that ok? or should i switch back to 4ext recovery?

2) second question, how do i upgrade to BeanStalk 5, but keeping my data and applications? is that possible to o?
[Desire Android Development] gps3dx:
Any chance that if we would have F2FS enabled recovery for our beloved Desire - we could benefits somehow from F2FS file system ? :confused::confused:
[Desire Android Development] eddiehk6:
1. TWRP should be fine

2.

- Nandroid backup

- Flash ROM.zip straight over the top

- Reboot

(Some people recommend to wipe dalvik/cache before rebooting, but it's really not necessary. The only thing it does is take AGES to boot again while it simply rebuilds the dalvik cache.)

You can apply this method when upgrading the same ROM on any device using any recovery really, unless otherwise stated. The nandroid backup is essential. If anything goes wrong, you always have a safe point to restore to.

You only need to full wipe when changing to a different ROM
[Desire Android Development] dado023:
Thank you eddiehk6,

your reply is very useful, and i think it should go into 1st post of this thread :good:

cheers mate
[Desire Android Development] dado023:
alright i have done it, but when i upgrade it, i mean install over the top, i dont get my applications, it seems all stuff that i installed is not here after the upgrade, ....i restored nandbackup, but i would like to upgrade and have my apllications as well, what to do?
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
Use titanium backup to backup all ur apps first then upgrade and restore.

[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:
Hello there!

Yesterday I somehow managed to drop my phone from the pocket to the concrete. Nothing happened on the exterior, but the proximity sensor and the light sensor doesn't seem to be working. When Brightness is set to auto it goes to full scale and when I put the phone to my ear the display doesn't turn off. The same thing happens when I hover the hand over the sensors during call.

Is there a way to test if the sensors are really broken?

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with Beanstalk's performances and I wouldn't change it for anything. :D
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I'll look into it, but I can't

promise anything.

You can use this app to test if the proximity sensor is proudly reporting being covered or not: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:
Hmm, the sensor is active and it reports a distance of 9cm and the light sensor is reporting a constant value of 2600lx. I think it moved somehow, I don't know. I think I'll have to live without those sensors from now... *sigh*
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Alright I've taken a look into the file system, and it seems that the patches for F2FS require a base kernel of 3.0+. Since we are still on kernel 2.6, I dont believe bringing F2FS to the desire would be feasible.

But when you cover up the sensor does it report 0cm? If it doesn't, then its probably broken.
[Desire Android Development] rabocop:
Good afternoon all,

Its been a long time since the last time I messed with my lovely HTC Desire, near a year. Today I decided to check what is going on here and install something new.

It seems that this kit kat rom is stable and works more or less fast witht the mobile. I am a quite experienced user but after messing around with this many hours I can´t find what I am doing wrong, but I cannot use this rom.

These are more or less all the steps I tried to do (I made this many times with different variations to try to find solution, always starting with a full wipe)

Desire S-OFF with stock HBOOT

I had an old Clockworkrom Recovery so I moved to TWRP 2.6.3 (stable).

I repartitioned my 16gb SDCARD using TWRP. 1,5gb ext4 and 512SWAP (Don´t think this rom is using SWAP but It should dont matter and I have plenty space)

Made FullWipe (all except sdcard), and Installed Rom without problem. Rebooted and let rom 5 minutes.

Installed provided GAPPS in #1, and rebooted.

Rebooted again and problems started.

I tried before install mountsd to check if gapps was working, but I received msg that I could not connect. Fixed the error installing with adb com.google.android.gms-4.4.48+(1150368-038).apk. But google play did not executed at all (seems that .apk is not in the gapps .zip) So I installed the last .apk from xda. Now I can add my account to my mobile but download gives an error.

I also tried to install mounts2sd with the Zip provided (I get error: error executing updater binary in zip. Error flashing zip '/sdcard/M2SD_Apps+Dalvik+Lib). If I instal mount2sd trought adb I cannont install script because mount2sd is detecting my desire as S-ON but it is S-OFF)

Is there something I am doing wrong or any point I am missing, because I dont see many problems at all for this rom in the thread, seems to be pretty straightforward. Any ideas guys? I am totally lost.

Thanks for your time!
[Desire Android Development] satter:
I also had this problem with TWRP2.6.3 and 2.7 so I went back to 4ext recovery and the problem was solved after a full reinstall
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:
No, it constantly says 9cm... It's not that bad though, it's a sign that maybe I have to move to a Nexus 4 (my love). :)
[Desire Android Development] schufti:
with the otg cable that works fine on my tablet I don't even get the flashing light during detection on the thumbdrive, hence my earlier question if it might be so that a powered otg cable is needed with this phone (or this/any fix to power via phone)
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
No, no need for powered usb cable. Works ok, for me at least for 4 years.
[Desire Android Development] rabocop:
Well I tried from the scratch installing 4ext recovery and is just the same problem. I can connect and sync my account but every time I try to download any app from market it just goes down.

I think the problem may be related with GAPPS but problem is that I am always installing "core" apps ~19mb because there is no more room in to install a bigger package. This for example dont let me sync calendar and many other apps I cant install.

Mount2sd is not working because app dont let me install the script and I tried some scripts manually with no success.

Any idea? Maybe fixing the problem with sd script would let me install a full gapps?

Regards

Follow all steps exact. :good:
[Desire Android Development] rabocop:
Well those were the steps that I tried before, but as I was trying with other recovery and someone reported problems, I installed 4ext and started again from the scratch following those steps again (I also repartitioned the 16gb SD with 1,5ext4 and 0 swap)

Following exactly the same steps first problem appear when I try to add the account. Always get the error "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later"

I know the solution with this error installing "Google Play Services 4.4.52 (1174655-034)" which dont appear to be installed with the 19mb gapps package "4.4.2-BanksCoreGApps".

Weird thing is that nobody in the thread seems to install this "Google Play Services" so I dont understand what is happening.

Ideas?
[Desire Android Development] J_Schnacki:
You told us you are on stock HBOOT. First post explicitly says to install another one. Did you ignore that on purpose?
[Desire Android Development] rabocop:
As I read in the first post:

- An hboot with at least 250mb on system. These include stock hboot or [MENTION=4577482]jmcclue[/MENTION]'s 250/5/182 hboot.

I am using the stock HBOOT (which have 250mb on system) because first post explicitly says that stock hboot is good enough.

[Desire Android Development] rabocop:
Yep, i also downloaded files many times and tried with other similar rom,always same peoblem.

Can you at least confirm that no extra google apps are needed to add account and start market, because, as i mentioned, the gapps i installed does not include market nor google services.

Thanks in advance for you effort
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
No extras needed. Let Rom settle down between the reboots. Perhaps a problem with your google account, because you have similar problem with other rom...

I go sleep a night over it. Perhaps you should do the same, and make a fresh start tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] genseng:
The mounts2sd zip is for repairing the script (e.g. after dirty flash upgrade). You should install ROM, let settle, install gapps package, let settle, install mounts2sd from the market. Try this and let us know if it works.
[Desire Android Development] J_Schnacki:
You are absolutely right. It's times like these, when I wonder if I'm actually able to read at all. [emoji19]
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
So I've gotten a few people asking about updates via PM - Heres whats happening: I just wiped my whole hard drive to reinstall windows (wanted to switch from 7 to 8), hence deleting all the Desire development stuff on my Ubuntu partition. I'll reinstall Ubuntu in the next few days, then redownload some ROM source and hopefully do one last Beanstalk build for the Desire. I'm planning on getting the Nexus 5 very soon, and at that point I'll probably be moving on from this phone. However that might mean that since the Desire is no longer my daily driver, I can focus more time on ROM development...we shall see :)
[Desire Android Development] nekkers:
:( :crying::(
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
I see you have the same problem in the Evervolv thread, saying your system partition is completely full. If its the same here, you prolly did not completely wipe /system OR you flash some additional stuff to /system

Of course it fails when your /system is completely full.

[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
Have you tried this stupid Flappy Bird game on Desire? It seems to run at really low FPS on this device. At least that's what I noticed when comparising with other phones. It seems to run faster on BS than on any other GB ROM, but not 100% smooth still. Placebo tweaked Dalvik helped a lil too but still it is not that smooth as on other phones. What do you think about it? How can such a simple game be laggy on Desire?

Some offtopic guys, sorry for that but I had to write it somewhere.
[Desire Android Development] 123xdagsm:
Hi Chromium

thanx the grate rom

my hboot is AlphaRev Jelly Hboot

can i use rom with AlphaRev Jelly Hboot?
[Desire Android Development] raisage:
Thanks for the reply.

When I did the second clean install, after performing the initial setup I was able to flash TiBu in recovery as a system app. I think it just caused problems before having done initial setup. Although come to think of it, I'm not sure if TiBu actually showed up after I installed the zip.

I wanted to install it as a System app so I wouldn't run out of space on Data before being able to install stuff like Mounts2SD :)

Unfortunately Mounts2SD didn't work out so well either, I couldn't install the startup script.

I also tried installing DartkTremor's a2sd, but that didn't seem to do anything. I'm starting to think it might be that there was no room left in System so nothing actually happened.

I've just cleared as much space as I could on System, and now I was able to install the startup script for Mounts2SD, so I think that might work now.

The problem is that as soon as you open the Play Store on first boot, it starts installing your old apps, which I want, but not before I have a chance to install TiBu and Mounts2SD and stuff, before I run out of space :)

Regarding wakes, I was asking because I switched from your JB ROM, and I enjoyed being able to wake the phone using the bottom hardware buttons. I don't want to wake using volume keys, I just like the convenience of Home, Menu, etc.

I can now tell you that Mounts2SD seems to be working well, after I figured out the confusing checkboxes (I thought greyed out checkmarks were a relic of Eclair :P), and otherwise, I'm enjoying your ROM very much.

Thanks for the time and effort!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
As long as it gives 250mb to system (I believe it does), it should work
[Desire Android Development] zinconnu:
I've an ICS-based ROM and Flappy Bird is 100% smooth. It's not hardware-related so.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:

[Desire Android Development] 123xdagsm:
thanx nice work with alpharev hboot. and wows option Beanstalk

but for me using cpu 100% not stop process cpu
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
More novice friendly? How would I do that? I expect a certain level of android competency for users that want to try this rom :)

Using gravitybox with this rom probably isnt the best idea. Like i said, the rom already has tons of the options that gravitybox offers, so there are likely tons of conflicts happening in the background causing stuff not to work.

Just because you dont need terminal to activate a2sd, it doesnt mean that its completely useless. I for one use is on a somewhat regular basis. I could take it out, but Im pretty sure that its quite small so it wouldnt really help to slim down the rom.

As for the RAM thing, ive got no idea. All i can say is that when i see ~300mb of free RAM, i feel happy...placebo? maybe ;)

Just tried the game and its pretty smooth for me.

Haha, maybe. Ill have it built into the next build.

Im not exactly sure what you are saying. Your cpu is always at 100% ?

Go to Settings > Performance control > menu > Switch to Tabbed. From there you can see the current speed of the cpu under the Core status. Is it always at 998MHz?

Can we make notification bar transparent??
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
I have followed instruction on OP to install Mounts2SD. I have 43MB Internal storage left and have problem to install more than 2 apps.

Is there a way to blind the EXT4 storage to system storage for this rom? So I can have 1GB+ space on Internal storage instead of 148MB in total?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
You mean status bar? Currently you cannot because its disabled in kitkat for low end devices. However I have enabled it for the upcoming build to see how it works out. If it really takes a big hit on performance I will have to revert it.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
The way that this works (even with a2sd) is that applications (the actual apk files) and the dalvik cache are moved to the ext partition. The app data is left on the internal storage in order to maintain decent performance. Im not sure why you are not able to install many apps though. Ive got 21 apps installed and still have 50mb free on internal.

Which apps have you installed? Also are you sure that you have enabled moving of "applications" and "dalvik cache"? Maybe try moving data as well, but i warn you that performance may become bad.
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
You are right. I got mistaken by the color of the tick in Mount2SD

green tick -> enable

dark grey tick -> disable

Now both checked and reboot. I am now able to install apps.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Yup. Confused me the first time too. Ill have to add a note in the OP about this.
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
Sorry

I mean transparent navigation Bar like new xperia phones
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Like this?
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
yes
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Ok, then read what i said in my previous comment.
[Desire Android Development] karo222:
It mean if it doesn't have effect on performance we will have transparent status bar and navigation bar??

Can you tell me how i can make navigation transparent?

I'm familiar wit decompile and editing.
