Thanks for screenshot comment, I love to keep it modern and minimal :o

Actually that's the thing i forgot to say. I'm not using Nova, this is Blinkfeed launcher (you can find port on xda). So basically I need some way to replace stock icons with those that are missing.

When you guys theme this rom, do you get all icons changed (ones which should be replaced of course)?

With this rom you have transparent bars, and it works fine with Blinkfeed I am currently using. Install Unicon and Xposed to change icons in any launcher, and you have free Sense 5 icon pack in Play Store. There are also Gem Flat CM11 theme (free version on xda), and wallpaper which link is posted by Chromium just above this post.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
Anybody else got graphic issues? Sometimes the background turns black and the icons blur and flicker while turning pages... and stay flickering.

Only a reboot helps. Is this a known issue?

I'm using 4 and 4.5, has this been fixed in 5. Release?

I'm thinking about switching back to last Chromium build, it's slower, but more stable :/

edit: Ok, after reading the last pages: ...seems like other people got the same graphic glitches.
[Desire Android Development] Gil-:
I did find the blinkfeed port but flashing the zip (I tried v9 and v10) doesn't seems to work for me on Beanstalk 5.

Did you do something special after reboot?

The launcher doesn't show in the Home settings (where I can find Nova).

Don't know if it's app or rom related.

Sorry to post this here.

--------------

Edit : I reinstalled it after fixing perms and it's working. Not sure that I did it correctly but it's ok for me :).
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
When you have the icon "smearing" issue, instead of rebooting you can simply go to settings>dev options>restart systemui.

Someone was saying that they noticed the issue only occurred when they enabled the speedy modified init.d tweak, so you my want to try disabling it to see if it continues to happen.
[Desire Android Development] Malk4ever:
I allready disabled this option (2 weeks ago).
[Desire Android Development] pro.gangster:
I have lots of Hard reboots randomly (not a specific app or action), although I find this rom the best among other KK roms, still can't count on it as a daily driver.

Is there any chance that the problem caused by me? every single step done as said in first post. loved its features and overall performance, but hard reboots is a tricky issue.

Also, open vpn did't work with v5.0.

I hope I could completely switch to this rom as early as it updates,

thanks [MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION] for you work.
[Desire Android Development] Charles Collins:
Had same issue

Had this issue, had to turn the wifi on before going through the set up.
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
#1000 :good:

so did anyone successfully dirty flash R5 from any lower versions with no severe bugs?
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
Does the instruction mean that I have to reboot after each step?

Or it means reboot into recovery not the whole device?

For example: Install the rom> reboot the device (not into recovery)>boot into recovery again>install GAPPS>reboot the device(not into recovery)>boot into recovery again> Install M2SD>reboot and done!

Is it supposed to be this way?!!
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
Huge Thanks buddy for the Quick answer:)

Can't wait to test this rom!!

Hope this one be ok and without any FCs!(Comparing to other KK roms;))

THX for the work:good:
[Desire Android Development] Ikkuh84:
Well, I now have a Samsung Galaxy s3 mini, so I say goodbye to the Desire community. [MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION] extended the life of my Desire by 3 years. He always listens to complaints and if we found a bug, it took mostly no more than 1 or 2 days for him to fix it. Sometimes even the same day.

And now I'm 'stuck' with the Samsung community... Which is totally different than this community. A lot of complaints, dev who doesn't react to bugs we find. Don't get me wrong, I love it that we get almost every day a new build, but it always happens that in the next build something doesn't work, what worked properly in previous builds. But no reaction of dev.

Tldr: I miss the Desire community and its dev, and all Desire owners are very lucky to have such a wonderful dev. :)
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Yeah, all very well, but when's the lazy bugger going to learn kernel development and help nikez out ..... ;)

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Sorry, stupid xda app, that was supposed to quote the post praising Chromium.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
That's OK;)

We ALL do praise Chromium:good:
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I dirty flashed from RC4.5 to RC5 and there were no severe issues. Though it wasnt as fast as I thought it could be, so I ended up doing a clean install which helped performance.

Maybe in the summer when Im off school.

Lol, you've got an n4? What are you still doing here?

Honestly, I dont do anything too difficult/special and I wouldnt really consider myself a rom developer. Im just a normal resourceful user who knows how to read the interwebz properly.
[Desire Android Development] UncannyValley:
Having problems with WiFi too. It says its being activated but that never happens.

Airplane mode doesnt help and reboot only seems to help randomly.

Disabled Tasker profiles that switch WiFi on/off now in hope this will reduce failings.

Also having hard reboots once in a while.

Still praising Chromium too. You must have spent a lot of time reading the interwebz properly and also understood it :laugh:

And isnt that what developing is about? Reading stuff, understanding it and then combining the stuff into new stuff. Nobody is coding a whole ROM from scratch i guess.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Im not sure why some are still having the WiFi issue. I was previously having it, but after I reverted that commit and built RC5 the problem no longer exists (for me at least). I made a video of me toggling the WiFi a bunch of times just to show you guys that it doesnt get stuck anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4twrZkJQRo

As for hard reboots, Im getting them maybe once a week. Logs arent very helpful, probably because hard reboots are caused by kernel issues. The last_kmsg would probably give me more info, but even then, I dont have the capability to understand most of that stuff.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
A tip that might help with wifi if you're having problems:

Try enabling airplane mode before restarting the phone. Then once it's finished booting, turn off airplane mode, and wifi will hopefully work.

So far that has worked for us.
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
I subscribed to you (y).
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
Dude, Whatever you are, At least you are making our lives better and easier:) So Thanks ALOT;):good:

Some bugs I've seen:

I've got the wifi issue, but rarely.

Sometimes after rebooting it says: Unfortunately the process android.media.process has stopped, two or three times and I press OK and It's gone.

If the above FC does not show up, it says: Unfortunately the process android.phone has stopped and also unfortunately theme chooser has stopped, that's when I can do nothing but to reboot the device because it happens over and over again and I can't use the phone!!

I install lots of apps (around 80 to 90)!! After that the booting takes around 5 to 6 minutes each time!!

I think some issues are related to M2sd!!

I'm gonna give INT2EXT a try to see if it gets better!!

And 1 Question: What is the CHAMBER of SECRETS under developer options? What does it do?

1 another thing:) : Why can't I find Longpress Back key to kill apps option?
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
I only have the media process error if I hot reboot my phone (I'm in R4.5). Did you try manually turning on and off? And I also install lots of apps too, ~100. I even have to move data to sd by m2sd.

There is long press to kill app in softkey, but I don't think there is in hardware key.
[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
Sometimes screen does not want to awake. Only hard reset helps, is there any solution for that issue?

I did not install Gapps and I don't use any apps2sd/m2sd script.
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
Dose anyone have any suggestions as to some way to enhance the audio - both volume and quality?
[Desire Android Development] GDB007:
Try Viper4Android
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
Have tried Viper4Android but it requires Busybox - not sure whether it was Busybox or Viper4Android but phone would not boot after flashing the Zip.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
+1

Tried manual on and off, Still no joy! I had hardware longpress back to kill in other roms!!
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
SOLUTION TO FCs AND LAGS

Guys I've found a good solution:)

Just do not install the provided GAPPS!!

And you'll be fine!! No FCs, No lags, No NOTHING!!

I've clean installed without installing GAPPS! It's like flying in the air;)

And I've seen no FCs for now!
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
And which gapps do you recomend?
[Desire Android Development] FastSkynet:
What zip? the latest Viper4Android its an .apk and you instal it just like a normal apk ,and when you open it it ask for root and thats it . Im using it on 2.3.7 and it's superior to dsp manager
[Desire Android Development] Dragonji:
Installing this ROM w/o Gapps does not solve anything.
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
The official ViPER4Android is a zip...the one that I assume you downloaded off Play is an Unofficial one. They do mention it in the thread here on XDA though.
[Desire Android Development] FastSkynet:
This is what i instaled

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2191223

1. Download, extract and copy ViPER4Android_FX/XHiFi.apk to your device.

2. Install the apk as USER app or SYSTEM app is up to you. (v2.3.1.0 onwards)

3. Run FX/XHiFi app from app drawer, allow root access if asked.

4. When driver installation prompted, choose Yes.

5. V4A auto detects your CPU and show available driver modes below :
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
None if you don't need them!

Otherwise I recommend that you install them manually from the store! (Play store, GMS etc...)

I have seen no bugs and FCs since I Installed the rom without GAPPS!! (Around 1day :))

You need to clean install the rom again! Manual wipe is most recommended (Specially Sd-ext)

Does anybody know anything about the chamber of secrets under developer options? It's the last option and is hidden and you need to tap to enable it!

[MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION], is agps patch compatible with this rom?!!
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
This is not happening to me at all, so it may be an app thats causing the issue.

Could you get me a logcat while the freeze-up is occuring. Thanks.

Ive already explained the chamber of secrets a few times. Search this thread for the answer.

As for the agps patch I have no idea if its compatible or not. Make a backup and try it out. Worst case scenario is that you have to restore the backup.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
Will this rom have a2sd?

Since I believe some issues are related to m2sd!!

Do you get FCs like process.media stopped or phone stopped etc at all?!!

It's exactly what happens to me after restoring my apps and messages and 2 or 3 reboots!

And I have to reflash the rom over and over to see if I can find a solution:(

And sth is so strange for me!!

I have had to install this rom for more than 30 times!!

Each time After install I go to the performance control and I see a different setting as default!

Sometimes the scheduler is cfq, sometimes deadline, sometimes VFS cache pressure is set to 0, sometimes to 20, sometimes to 60 !!! sometimes readahead value is set to 512, sometimes 2048!!

What would be the problem?!!

And How many third party apps do you install?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I might include a2sd in the next build.

I occasionally get the process.media FC right after a reboot, but its easily solved for me by simply rebooting again.

I currently have 52 third party user apps installed.
[Desire Android Development] dariush_jab:
i dont have much problem since this version launched,just 1 black screen ,and 2 rebot,its fast and ok,more than 80 apps installed,

thnx dear developer
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
I dirty flash RC5 yesterday, and I got lots of media error and wifi not turning on problem.... which were totally gone in my RC4.5.

Cold reboot didn't fix the problem now (which it can in RC4.5), around 1 in 6~7 reboot can bring my phone back to normal.

I have already restored back to 4.5 because it's really hard to use as daily driver when media error pop out every minute and I can't even open camera and gallery.

I'm sorry if it sounds so discouraging, that is totally not my intention.

But looks like it's not just a few people having the media error problem,

Clean install and rebooting the phone don't seem to fix that,

Perhaps what can we do to help figuring out what causing the error?

In this case will logcat be useful?
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
There are some clear instructions that Chromium and a few others mentioned regarding the install process. Let me make it easy for you guys: DON'T DIRTY FLASH and expext no errors! Just follow the steps!

Another thing is to WAIT for it to settle (mounts2sd).

If you do everything right, you will not get any errors. Its all about having patience..

If u restore Titanium backup i think there is a big chance of getting errors. I allways prefer to install them manually.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
I have done more than what you said!!

And still after 3 or 4 reboots I get media error and my phone does not ring!!

I think I should give up on this rom for now:(
[Desire Android Development] Gil-:
Wipe dalvik and reboot.

The error should disapear.

At least, it worked for me.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
It works for now!

But after a while, or 3 to 4 reboots it goes wrong again:(
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
Hey [MENTION=5147933]FastSkynet[/MENTION]

Did you install BusyBox first?
[Desire Android Development] Ciobby:
RC5

Hi there! Yesterday I took my time to update from RC2 to RC5 by clean flashing. Everything is just perfect and works like a charm. I had just one hard reboot, but that was my fault 'cause I tried to do a lot of things at the same time and it hanged. I noticed some things and I would like some feedback if possible:

1. The moment the battery drops below 15%, when I receive a notification, the green light doesn't blink anymore, it just stays on. (I noticed this thing on RC2 as well).

2. The moment I receive a phone call, the screen has a little delay before it turns on (I think it's related to 4.x+ ROMs, right?).

Overall, everything is good and I would like to thank you Chromium_ personally for the awesome work you do. :laugh:
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
I installed this app just to see whats all the fuss about. Not very impressed, but im into graphics more than sound anyway.. Whatever floats ur boat hehe..

What i wanted to say is that u don't need to install bysybox (i didnt), cos u already have it from mounts2sd.
[Desire Android Development] torwag:
Solved keyboard FC

Hi,

I faced similiar problems with a keyboard FC after installing.

I guess I found the solution. RC5 removed all other keyboard languages beside English.

However, after a fresh install the ROM is already set-up in my local language (in my case German) and the keyboard is set to German too. No idea why and how the ROM can decide which language should be used (I would prefer being asked e.g. during flashing ;) ). Anyhow, being used to use Android in English, I switched it back to English which in turn changed the keyboard language to English too. From there, I do not have any keyboard FC anymore.

Interestingly, you can't choice any other Keyboard language manually. You have to switch the entire ROM language to English to set the keyboard to English, which again is the only available language after a fresh install.

Guess devs might use English anyhow and hence they did overlook this issue.

Hope that helps.
[Desire Android Development] SaySayonara:
Maybe it reads the sim card and sets the language itsefl.. No clue. (Automatic time).

Funny thing is i got so used to english that if i try to use the phone in my language i don't understand a thing :))
[Desire Android Development] torwag:
In addition, I had troubles with a non-working back, search and menu (hardware) buttons. After switching to English they seem to work again... not sure if this is related, might be somewhere else, since I re-flashed the ROM before. Now I keep com.google.process.gapps FC after flashing m2sd. Have to resolve this and then I hope everything is working out as it should.
[Desire Android Development] Chaos-sa:
Thanks for this....I take classes and use my Desire for my music so that is what the fus is about.
[Desire Android Development] torwag:
Konichi wa, anata wa nihongo-jin des ka? ;)

Well, I have a Softbank (Japanese) branded Desire and judging from your nickname, we might sit in the same boat ;)
[Desire Android Development] Gil-:
Yep, I have this issue with every 4.x roms too. For me it's the only big problem in terms of overall performances.

Sometimes I can't answer right away because I have to wait the phone displays the infos correctly.

A bit annoying but I hope some optimisations can be done for this.
[Desire Android Development] torwag:
Ok, wiping cache and dalvik-cache solved the FC of gapps. It seem beanstalk would again a new home ;)

Will it be save to recover wifi and phonelists and maybe some other basic settings from titanium backups?

I used chromium before.
[Desire Android Development] AlexOB1:
Are you sure you wiped all partitions before installing? Including system?

Full wipe in 4ext recover doesn't do this automatically.
[Desire Android Development] RoyW:
First, I'm not those kinds of guys that didn't read and just throw some dumb questions. I've read EVERY SINGLE POST here in this thread.

I did know they mentioned a few times about the installing process,

and that's why I also particularly asked what would happen for a dirty flash,

and Chromium himself said it wouldn't be a big problem for dirty flash, that's why I did it in the first place.

I'm not pushing the responsibility to anyone, because obviously not many people have dirty flashed RC5,

and even Chromium himself may not know that dirty flash is such messy.

So now if dirty flash is really such a big mistake,

at least it should be stated that RC5 CANNOT be installed by dirty flash, rather than just saying it is not recommended for the sake of a better performance (which is previously the only comment for dirty flash - less smooth than a clean install).

Because basically it doesn't even function properly.

I didn't use titanium backup, and I would say waited for a whole day is pretty patient.

However, the fact is for some of those who did a clean flash, they still got those problems, obviously some installing steps are still missing.
[Desire Android Development] PapaJasy:
Installed today as the OP said and the only problem occured after turning on "Settings > Developer options > Enable Force GPU rendering". This gave a lot of artifacts.
[Desire Android Development] sarichter:
Is this OK to flash for the Inspire 4G with the 'fix'?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Backup and try. It may work, or it may cause problems. If you experience issues simply restore the backup.

I dirty flashed RC5 over RC4.5 and I personally had no issues at all.

For the people who had issues even after doing a clean flash, we later realized they didnt properly do a full wipe.

What 'fix'?
[Desire Android Development] sarichter:
There is a flashable generic fix for the inspire phone for ROMa that are built for the Desire. I can't remember what it does exactly, but it is supposed to change the identification of the device.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Oh, I've got no idea if that'll work. You'll have to give it a try and see.
[Desire Android Development] sarichter:
What do you think the % chance of me bricking the phone is with this ROM? I would think it's probably low since the phones are almost exactly the same, but I don't know enough about how these ROMs work with the hardware.
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
I highly doubt that this ROM will boot on your inspire, but I don't think it will hard brick it either. Worst case scenario is you have to restore a nandroid or clean install a working ROM. But I can't guarantee anything.

Though I do remember that in my ultra-noob days I flashed a Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM+kernel on my Desire. Obviously it didn't boot, but after doing a full wipe and installing a working Desire ROM the phone booted up fine again. However this is not the case with all phones. I know for one that if you were to flash the wrong ROM or kernel (meant for a different device) on the Nexus 5, that there is pretty high chance that the phone will be hard bricked beyond repair.
[Desire Android Development] sarichter:
Yeah, I think that is good advice. I'll look into a few other ROMs before even attempting this. It's too bad HTC made two phones that were so similar, but firmware was just different enough to make for compatibility issues!
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:
Probably in build.prop.

Jesus, maybe someone will explain to me what happen. I rebooted phone and...

- no contacts

- every app is crashing

- sync doesn't work

- factory system settings

- sd card mounted, every single file ok

- mount2SD working

I booted in to recovery - safe mode, I checked sdext - no errors, I booted in to beanstalk - same ****storm like before, finally I had to restore everything from nandroid backup (from march, ****).
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
update.zip?

Sounds like something with m2sd got messed up. Did you change any settings related to that?

This just happened randomly?
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
Randomly, It happened before on JB chromium roms without mount2sd :/

How to check the version of beanstalk rom I have installed? :<
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
Go to Settings > About phone > Kernel version and check what the compile date is. Let me know then I can check the dates that I uploaded the different versions and see which one corresponds to what you are currently running.
[Desire Android Development] nonline:
R3 and R3.5 were compiled on the same day :P
[Desire Android Development] sub263:
Yes update.zip
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:

You need to wipe partitions manually, specially sd-ext that most of the times wouldn't be unmounted properly!!
