You need the USB working because there was a battery bug the meant you needed a charger connected at first boot after build. Other than that I used this ROM for months without issue.

Hey Folks!

I'm using this rom since a couple of months and I'm really satisfied!

One question to the master spezi77

Is there a way to encrypt the 'whole' phone? I didn't found it under

settings > security

where it usually remains...

Is this security-feature planned to be included in to your new awesome release: [ROM/WIP] [5.0.2] [Feb-11] [UNOFFICIAL] ParanoidAndroid 5.0 Alpha ???
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
Check in storage.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
It shouldn't work as the current kernel doesn't support encryption. Maybe with k3, if one day it will become stable enough for daily use.

Hi!

I installed this rom 3 weeks ago and I must say it really is fast and stable. Had no problems encountered during the flashing and installing all apps until recently I tried to update and storage issues arise. So i checked how much space left and I think 80mb of space is enough for the update. I also tried uninstalling all apps and update viber, still the problem is there so i uninstalled and now i can not reinstall viber anymore.

Please help!
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
Try using clean master to clean the junk files.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Alternatively:

After uninstalling the erroneous app, boot into recovery and wipe cache+dalvik.

P.S.: Unfortunately, you still have to take care about the 0% battery problem. For me it just works fine if I wipe battery stats after flashing the ROM.

Hi Desire folks!

You won't believe it. Thanks to [MENTION=3678722]LaidbackNikez[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6177137]ths@justremotephone.com[/MENTION] we have a stable kernel 3.0 for the Desire!

And I may proudly present you the first ROM running it!!! :D

The only small drawback is the higher standby power consumption if compared with kernel 2.6.38

Therefore be gentle with it.. This release is only meant for testing purposes, of course!

Cheers,

Hi Spezi,

Thank you for your work on the ROM;

I think the hyperlink for 2.0 needs fixing.

Edit: Fixed now - thanks!

Sorry if I'm offtopic, but what are the main differences between kernel 2.6 and 3.0 when it comes to our Desire?

Well, we have to wait for real user feedback.

Don't know if anybody has the same problem, but bluetooth doesn't work. If I choose to enable bluetooth visible, bluetooth stops then turns on again but bluetooth is disabled for beeing visible
[Desire Android Development] desireleß:
which ROM version, hboot, kernel?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4
[Desire Android Development] nickleby:
I can confirm this on K3. Weird behaviour with Bluetooth.
[Desire Android Development] 3722:
I have been using the new release since the upload a few days ago; but have been experiencing FCs and ANRs.

'settings' crashes frequently when I access it.

WiFi work when the phone boot, then after it is idle and disconnects to conserve battery - I have trouble turning on the WiFI again.

It frezzes in 'turning WiFi on' - restart fixes it.

Camera is erratic and has glitches; was fine with 1.1 release

I am using the hboot in the instructions with ext4 2gb; performance settings are left as default.

Other then these annoyances, rom's fine :)
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Yesterrday, I built an Evervolv Turba with k3.0 and here BT works fine (see screenshots attached).

I dunno, maybe it's only an issue with carbon.

Edit: On ev rom, I also confirm that upon enabling bluetooth visible, bluetooth stops then turns on again. However, pairing works fine.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Any chance of sharing your logcats -- especially in the moment when Settings crash or it freezes in 'turning WiFi on'?
[Desire Android Development] 3722:
I hope this helps; done right after settings crash
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Yep, thanks! From the logcat it can be seen that you got twice into an "Application Not Responding" which is not really an error but it occurs when an application or kernel is unresponsive:

E/ActivityManager( 428): ANR in com.android.settings (com.android.settings/.SubSettings)

Maybe it is a ROM and/or kernel specific problem. I will probably compile soon a new kernel version and maybe a different test rom for comparison (ev turba).

Did you face Wifi problems or freezes?

I've found many times this error:

E/WifiStateMachine( 428): Driver start failed, retrying
E/wpa_supplicant( 552): Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device
I/wpa_supplicant( 552): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DRIVER-STATE STARTED
[Desire Android Development] 3722:
Yes, as I said the WiFi seems to not work after some time, but a quick reboot does the job.

Thanks for taking a look at the logcat.

This rom ran crazy slow on for me. Pressing any button on the UI etc. would take 20-40 seconds to be processed. The after-install-new-phone-setup took so long my fully charged battery died.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
I guess that u have a slow SD card. The most recent ROM versions use Data2ext which will swap all app + data on the SD.

Hence u could try an older version, e.g. v1.0 with stock hboot support (250mb system). That should be much faster in your case as it uses nand memory.

I am aware that dev-host has turned into an ad monster. But you can still go through to grab the file by clicking on the upper 'download now' button (green). See screenshot below.

Just do not click on the tricky advertisements. Wait a few moments until the download automatically begins..

Or if it doesn't work at once, use the nav buttons to go back to the download page, and retry.

It is clear that you are trying to download PB99IMG_LP-looback_420_5_12.zip.apk instead of PB99IMG_LP-looback_420_5_12.zip.

So downloading by smartphone is also impossible.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
[MENTION=4810659]ze7zez[/MENTION] thanks for clarification! I must have overseen the file ending. The guys behind dev host are really nuts!

Sorry, I don't find the time to maintain the bunch of legacy threads in HTC Desire forum.

You helped me a lot by mirroring all of the necessary stuff!
[Desire Android Development] :
I got the hboot file and tried the k 3.0 version. This is the first KK rom that runs ok on my device. I previously tried slimkat and kitkang, both were very unstable and the graphics refreshing was aweful. This one, though much slower that the good old one, official cm 7.2, is stable and ok. Now I think I'll think about how upgrading the web browser to html 5 in cm 7.2 and if this is possible I'll go back to it. Not being able to browse internet with that old rom was the only reason to upgrade to KK but clearly when google designed KK, the HTC Desire was not of their concern.
[Desire Android Development] worstl:
for some reason my phone always boots up with a battery percentage of 0. I already wiped the batterystats after I fully charged my battery once. After That I was able to boot my phone, but after a restart I have 0% again.

I created my ext4 using the modified recovery version and flashed the hboot as quoted in the instructions. Might that be related to a chmod issue?

My phone also keeps forgetting my wallpaper, any advice?

I use v1.1
[Desire Android Development] worstl:
I've got a new finding. Whenever I do a nandroid backup my phone will boot up normally with the same battery percentage showing as in the recovery, but after a reboot I get stuck again with 0%... wtf?

besides that I freaking love this rom, it's smooth and fast and it looks just awesome. But I also found that I cannot override the volume levels within the profiles, they will always stay in their default values
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
The issue which abruptly results in zero percent battery charge is a very well known issue in this ROM. And I have never been able to locate it's root cause. Please check this thread for workarounds..
[Desire Android Development] worstl:
Which workarounds do you know? My current workaround is making a nandroid backup everytime my phone shuts down. After every nandroid this rom works awesomely perfect! It's really just the battery thing which buggs me... Any idea why nandroid solves the issue?

btw. I use v1.1
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Sorry, my memory is bad..and I no longer use my HTC bravo as daily phone.

But I do remember that this workaround has solved my trouble!

At 100% charge boot to recovery and wipe battery​ stats.
[Desire Android Development] worstl:
And after a reboot you still had valid battery stats? Because for me it seems that the rom keeps forgetting the battery stats after each reboot. Which version number should the modified recovery version show in recovery mode? Maybe I didn't flash it right. Even though in bootloader it shows me the recovery name "_loopback" which should be the one I'm supposed to use right?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
A way to solve this problem has been figured with help of [MENTION=3486702]worstl[/MENTION]

Hooray! :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] worstl:
Ok, solving this issue was easier than expected. Simply do NOT use the Recovery quoted in the instructions, just use the latest 4extTouch recovery version

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408936

Besides that do everything as explained in the second post.

After flashing ROM and Gapps you will get notified by the recovery that a usb-brick was detected, just dont worry. Press the "fix it" button reboot your phone and let the happiness beginn.

Wiping batterystats when the battery is fully charged (green light if phone is booted, and green light if phone is shut down) is still recommended but I did not encounter the 0% battery issue again.

Thanks spezi77 for you support!

[Desire Android Development] Dodgexander:
I'm getting force closes for every app in this rom, I am using int2extv2. Any clue how I can troubleshoot the problem?

It shows as having 500mb free out of my 1gb ext4 partition.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Try wiping cache and dalvik-cache. When running an int2ext script you must use croniccorey's Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool.
[Desire Android Development] Dodgexander:
I tried wiping dalvik and it seemed to help a little, but the problem is also happening with system apps, like the stock browser, settings etc. Also wifi and the mobile network often aren't working for me either.

I'm wondering if its due to lack of system space. If you install gapps, how much room should there be left on the internal partition?

The strange thing is, I only notice the problems using my phone away from home, using public wifi access. Could anything be causing these problems when I'm not home? Its bizarre.

I'm not really sure if I should be posting this here or not, after all this isn't a question aimed at development.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
No problem. It appears to me that int2ext is not running properly with this rom. My personal recommendation is mounts2sd. It has been running smoothly for me since more than a week now.
[Desire Android Development] Dodgexander:
Mounts 2 SD works much better thanks.

Its strange but I get this message every boot:

The other problem I have is probably not specific to your rom, but any 4+ release for the desire using the BBC iPlayer and media player app. Technically it should work, but for some reason when I try it, it on medium quality preset it freezes, on low quality it plays sound without video and in high there is video but it's too choppy.

I know the app uses adobe air but I guess these problems are related to hardware decoding different stream formats since it's almost the same using MX player when I switch to hardware instead of software decoder.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
"SIM card added" is a known issue (to be fixed in next version). Just press back to bypass it.

Video recording/playback is a known issue with any 4.x rom running Evervolv kernel.

How's everything else? Does it feel buttery smooth?

Have fun with Carbonrom! :good:
[Desire Android Development] Dodgexander:
Everything else is great. Its nice to have control over performance with things like force hardware rendering and also the preferences in mounts2sd. I tried all the options in mounts2sd on, so I'm running most of the app data from the SD and its working well,only a little slower than using internal memory, but still smoother than I expected it would be.

Good thing is, if you find mounts2sd is slowing the rom down, you can always change its options to keep data on the internal memory, for example:)

I try to compile your rom.

It works fine after put manually a commit from carbondev github :

my problem was that I sync to late and a new commit in carbon rom are not compatible with your framework_base

To avoid this, how to force sync to the same date as your repo ?

Now I will try some tweak :

I have a problem with my GPS when I have screen off to save battery

I will try to change default frequency in device/htc/qsd8k-common/init.power.rc and device/htc/qsd8k-common/power/power.c

But repo sync apply some new commits from cyanogen and carbon repo which have dependency with your forked project (like android_frameworks_base).

Then the related updates are necessary on your forked project to compile without errors.

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Just merge the changes into "android_frameworks_base".

Go into the right folder and ensure that you are on the correct branch. Then add the CM project as a new remote project and pull:

git checkout -b cm-11.0
git remote add CM https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_frameworks_base.git
git pull CM cm-11.0

If you are lucky there won't be any conflicts from the merge.

If you still need help, just drop me a line.
