Just a short notice with regards to the new kernel version.

The main attraction for most of you could be the variety of alternative CPU governors and the larger range of CPU frequencies.

At the moment I would be lying if I tell you what is the optimal set up for the HTC Desire because the hardware of each device is different and some phones might even run worse being overclocked. So be warned and be extremely cautious when selecting frequencies above 1GHz. You do this at your own risk!!! (don't blame me if your phone heats up) :angel:

However, if you are into experimenting, it would be kind of you to share your experiences.. :cool:
[Desire Android Development] newsoup:
Hi Spezi .. I love this your great work and v. 0.5 creats appetite .. can I install new version with a dirty flash coming from 0.45 with M2sd ?

Another thing .. I have a very bad experience in navigation with latest version on Maps .. it is only my problem?

thanks a lot
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
U r welcome. Don't know if a dirty flash will work. Just give it a shot and we know.. :D

I have seen that with Beanstalk you can restore your stuff when dirty flashing. I did not figure out yet how this works. Maybe [MENTION=4883664]Chromium[/MENTION] can tell how this can be achieved?
[Desire Android Development] Chromium:
If you want to dirty flash on top of a previous m2sd installation, you should also flash this. So the dirty flash process would be:

Flash v0.5, flash the m2sd restorer linked above, wipe dalvik, reboot.

Note that dirty flashing wont always work well. As spezi said, you'll have to try and see.
[Desire Android Development] newsoup:
TNX gold boys .. i'll try and I'll give you a feedback
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Well... Works great as last version anyway.. Tried with cpu at 1.5ghz... Very unstable and had to reboot but was stuck in first page (white screen with green HTC). So wiped all again and reinstaled.

And leaving at 1 ghz..
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Now such a great Easter egg my friend spezi. Thank you for that kernel build. If only you could help nikez bring us the very long awaited K3.
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Can't the K3 on the desire HD help ??
[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
Installed v0.5 with a2sd, works great. Happy Easter.
[Desire Android Development] tommypacker:
No it won't because the Desire HD does not have a qsd8k soc. It has an msm chip set which is way different than what the desire has
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Bad luck... Seemed so easy to use K3 from the HD :(
[Desire Android Development] newsoup:
I tried & saw.. Bad result: loops on bootanimation
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Would it be possible spezi to give us a flashable zip of your modded kernel so that we can use it any other KK roms? Thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
You expect too much from me, my friend. :rolleyes: I simply did a patch, I am not a kernel-dev..

Sure, here you go (md5 472a4743af5e4bfb8e6b336d680567d8).
[Desire Android Development] kostelo:
Sorry, I guess I had high expectations. :( Thanks anyway for the zip and your efforts in general. :)

Any bug found in 0.5? I am thinking of upgrading from 0.45 (with full wipe, of course).
[Desire Android Development] benkxda:
Hi [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION], I got my HTC Desire today and already flashed your CarbonROM. I tried to flash the Minimal GApps, but tells me it cannot connect to the Google Servers. Do I need your special version?
[Desire Android Development] svenolio:
Hey, I installed this ROM on my little brothers htc desire (s-off, jmcclue's 250/5/182 hboot, 4ext touch recovery) and it is pretty damn good, so thank you. He only has one problem which comes back quite often, like once per hour, the phone hangs on a black screen with all button leds on, when you press the power button (to get it out of sleep). A reboot fixes it, but then it happens again after a while.

I installed version 0.5 and started from scratch; a completely formatted sd card, on which I made a 1,5gb ext4 partition with 4ext touch recovery. I then installed the rom and gapps, booted it and let it settle, then afterwards used terminal to install a2sd like stated in the OP.

I read the whole thread and saw no post about a bug like this, so don't know why it is happening.

I did max clock the cpu at 1250 at first, but changed that back now, so this is probably not the cause.

Also started with the launcher3 and later on changed to nova to see if that could be it, but no.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
I guess that it is a general problem with 4.4 gapps. A reboot should solve it. :D
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Which governor did you apply?

It could be that the phone did not wakeup due to having a too low frequency. Try to increase the min cpu frequency (245MHz) and let me know if this helps.
[Desire Android Development] benkxda:
Well, I tried CM11 and Carbon, used also smallest package of PA Gapps, but even with reboot, no access to Google servers.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Then just use my special gapps package. :D
[Desire Android Development] benkxda:
That's it, sir :good:

But why does it not work with the common ones? Maybe you can get it working with those one day.

But I am very happy, to be honest, I couldn't believe how fast this device is working now. Even OC up to 150% is working properly on my device, but I experienced a much smoother UI also at 1 GHz. Wow. Thank you for this ROM!

This issue is solved, searching for others ;)
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
I tested this rom!!

And followed all instructions!! It's so laggy for me!!

I used to work with carbon rom 4.2.2!! It was much smoother!!
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Good luck! :)

On the Desire most Kitkat roms do not give you sufficient free space on [system] (~only 10-15mb!). This is too little for installing a regular gapps package. Therefore I have analyzed which apps can be moved to [data/app] without breaking anything. Furthermore I have removed all the unnecessary stuff and created an optimal "Slim Gapps package" for my 4.4 roms.

P.S.: I someone should face (permanent) lags with this rom, then it is very likely that sth went wrong during the rom installation -- just do a full wipe and fresh install. Also try to re-format and -partition your SD. And let the rom settle down for a while after the initial boot. That's it. Have fun! :cool:
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
On which device? :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
I'm trying 0.5 with a2sd y/y/y (class 10 sd card) and smartass v2 175/1100 Mhz.

For the moment it seems to me that is way laggier and slower than 0.45, but I might try different governors and m2sd.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
What do you mean?!!

Isn't it Desire Android Development section?!!

Of course on my HTC Desire!!
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
It would be good to switch to ondemand, so that you have the same gov as in 0.45..
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Who knows?!! I am just asking to ensure we talk about the same stuff. Please take it easy! :rolleyes:

I am astonished to hear about your "lags" because the majority of kitkat users feels the exact opposite in comparison with 4.2.

One thing that might distort the performance of 0.5 is that I have put an experimental kernel patch into this version. I have found out that some CPU governors can sometimes cause lags, e.g. "lagfree" and "lazy". Just switch to interactiveX or ondemand or whatever feels smoother on your device.

And please leave your feedback. :good:
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
THX for the answer:)

I tried different governors but still no joy!

going to try 0.45!

will let you know;) :good:
[Desire Android Development] svenolio:
Hey thx for the reply. I used the governor that was default so smartassv2, tried increasing min cpu to 245 and even to 500, unfortunately it still happened on both. Should I try different governors, or try to reinstall? I am just looking for a stable enough rom for daily use for him and hopefully with kitkat, so he can use the latest apps. Is one of your other kitkat roms maybe even more stable or should they all be pretty much the same?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks for your response. You could give 0.45 or Kitkang a try..

Anyone else with this?
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
It could be the data moved to sd...

I have installed m2sd and moved data again to internal memory. Moreover I reverted the internal readahead to 64kb and the external to 2048.

Lagfree 250/1000Mhz was fine for me, I am trying ondemand now.
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
I came back to 0.45, 0.5 is not as stable as 0.45. Had a couple of freezes, didn't accepte charging battery ( very strange all these problemes):crying:

I know someone who leaves cpu at 1500mhz and not draining as much as that battery, and seems stable.:confused:

On 0.45, seems ok if I leave cpu at 1113mhz.

So I'll stay like that untill a new release
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
That's true. I would even say the best memory script is A2SD for this ROM, installed through y n y.
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
I went on 0.45 and did not change anything (Governor, etc).

And since A2SD does not work on 0.45 I'm using my own INT2EXT script to change Internal memory with EXT2.

SO good for now!!

No freezes, No lags, SO smooth and...

Many THANKS SPEZI77 :good::good::good:

unfortunately messaging has stopped

Hello,

I did clean install of 0.5 , with Full wipe.

Everything is fine but when any sms came it shows "unfortunately messaging has stopped" and could not see any message.

I tried with factory rest also.

Any Idea ?

Thanks,

[Desire Android Development] svenolio:
Hey, since I liked this rom quite a lot I was looking for a carbon rom for my device (sony xperia S) as well. I found it and it seems that people encounter the same problem as my brother (black screen on wake up, with button leds shining) on his desire, so I was thinking maybe it is related to new carbon stuff you added to 0.5 release. I am not a developer myself though, it was just something I noticed. (if you want to take a look here is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617846&page=74)
[Desire Android Development] aledex:
I have the same problem, also I didn't receive some messages that was sent to me.

EDIT: so, mms.apk crashes when receiving a message. If I use hangout it does receive them without problem.

EDIT2: I have uninstalled mms.apk and installed the old version (the one inside 0.45), it works.
[Desire Android Development] benkxda:
Ok, after a few problems which you usually face with devices coming from 2.x (I already forgot), it runs so great. 1 GB ext4 + 150 MB for apps, the rest of the sd card will be filled with music and the old device will hopefully do it's job as a audio player in my car.

I definitely can say, it never was that fast, neither have had a kernel which was working up to 1,5 GHz.

But what I would like to see is a even slimmer Gapps package, let's say all necessary services and scripts + Play Store and nothing else.

As a new(re)comer to this device, I cannot say to previous ROM's speed. I did not touch the governors, even though for me it is as smooth as never before.

EDIT:

Just to mention: Thank you [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] for your great work!
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Amazing how each Desire is different.

Only problems for me on 0.5, and if cpu at 1.5ghz heu... crash crash :eek:

But with 0.45 and cpu at 1113mhz :good::laugh:

works great

Hard to satisfy everybody Spezii ;)

But great work anyway mate:cowboy:;):victory:
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
True words.. what makes me glad is to get more and more feedback from you. It is the only way to further improve things. :good:

BTW -- if you like to use 0.5 with the kernel from 0.45, just exchange the file boot.img in the root folder of the zip.
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
This is a good idea... I'll let you know how it works ;)
[Desire Android Development] pc boy:
What would be different if we change the kernel of 0.5 with 0.45!

Isn't it the only difference between the two releases?! Plus A2SD:)

(governors, CPU Frequencies etc)
[Desire Android Development] anisvora:
I also did same .. unistalled mms.apk and then installed from old version .45 but no LUCK.

I used Es File Explorer to remove messaging (system APK) and then installed mms.apk but still same thing is there.

[Desire Android Development] deepgrass:
Just flashed v0.6. No problem so far.
[Desire Android Development] Gil-:
Great work spezi77.

I like the options you have with Carbon and the clock widget :)

Regarding the battery it looks really solid. Will have to test it a few days to be sure but the percentages goes down really slowly !

It FC 2 times when I tested some Toast animation in Carbon Settings -> Interface -> General.

Opening the gallery made FC.

Other than that everything is working fine for me.

In terms of performance I came from Chromium's ROM and thought Beanstalk was smoother.

Chromium is using a PAC framework (if I remember correctly, maybe it's something else) maybe it can help...

There is 2 changes that could I'm a fan of :

1. add Dev Tools options so we can force GPU rendering and increase the speed of the animations?

2. to be able to have Facebook high quality pictures. I know it was possible with an old version of ubersync but there is still one trick to do it by default.

Keep the good work for our Desire ;)
[Desire Android Development] ze7zez:
After uploading carbon 0.6 to version 0.5 hangs acting start on the logo. After a clean install is spontaneous shutdown. Restarting is good.

.

Good job! Thank You for this ROM.

Clean the system runs very smoothly. In version 0.5 sometimes when starting spontaneous shutdown occurred. I'll be watching the behavior of version 0.6

[pvt3, hboot 6.93.1002, twrp 2.6.3.0, no sim card, SD Class 10]
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks for your feedback. Highly appreciated! :good:

Alright, I can have a further look into performance optimizations.. As far as I know Chromium uses the "Purity" bionic lib in Beanstalk. I will try it for the next release to check if it makes a big difference.

Two changes:

1) Go to Settings / About phone and there you can enable the Dev Tools by tapping several times on the "Build number". You will find out that "force GPU rendering" is enabled per default. Also you can lower the Animation scales from 1.0x to 0.5x. Furthermore you can switch the CPU governor to "performance" and raise the max. CPU frequency to 1113MHz.

2) I am not sure if this tweak would help. Go into build.prop and add these lines:

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=20000000
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

Cheers!

Hi spezi,

Good release, just flashed it! Carbon rom is good at last! for me:thumbup:

But there are 2 problems I face..

1. Bluetooth share force close

2. Back key doesn't work, can you suggest something?

Do a clean install. I don't have those issues.

Carbon is really great these days. My favorite kk rom! :thumbup: :thumbup:
[Desire Android Development] Gil-:
Thanks for your answer :)

1) I forgot completely about that :p. I usually put the animation to 0.5x but the feeling is different from beenstalk.

The performance might come from bionic but he added this also GCC top level optimizations via O3.

2) I just tried it, but it doesn't help.

Hi,

Does anyone have a problem that can't see your one SMS in the app? I can see the ones I receive, but not the ones I send.

[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
You can replace it with chomp SMS or Textra SMS from Playstore.

Or if somebody wants to install the original MMS.apk (from v0.6) here you go..
[Desire Android Development] grilopt:
Does the original support MMS?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Unfortunately MMS is not working. It is a general issue with all 4.x roms on our device.
[Desire Android Development] Mr.Mefisto:
Index!

From now on you will find this custom Rom on HTC Desire (Bravo) Index! Good work Spezi77!
[Desire Android Development] benkxda:
Ok, I am on v.06 now. This version is even more rich featured and I like features :good:

But there are also a few small issues, you maybe can help me directly or within the next update:

Slim's Recents - and that's the only recent apps view. OmniSwitch, which I would prefer, is not working. On/off/reboot and stuff like this does not affect it. Unfortunately the recent RAM bar/circle is not working as well.

No USB OTG support for mounting USB pen drives.

It's not that snappy anymore, probably due to reduction of oc abilities. This is a downside of this new kernel. For my usage the older kernel with up to 1.5 GHz was the better solution.

As this device is my daily car media player and it is downgraded to only these functions, it's not really necessary to get the stuff above done. For me it's a nice to have.

You need to install framework-res.apk before decompiling the jar.

OmniSwitch is working for me. It is atm an unofficial feature which will need a proper code review and better integration by Carbon-devs. I just have picked it from Gerrit to let us play around with it. :cool: The only thing I have noticed is that it is somehow not associated with long press on home (this will always bring up Slim's Recents). As soon as OmniSwitch is running, you will observe a blue region at the right margin.

If someone could only build a desire kernel 2.6.38 with USB OTG support as described here. :victory:

You can flash the older kernel with up to 1.5 GHz after flashing v0.6.

In TWRP battery is correct, for example 100%. I restore previously saved system by TWRP.

a). The power supply is turned on. The Android battery status indicator is 0% and does not change even after a few hours.

Reboot does not occur

.

b). The power supply is turned off. The Android battery status indicator is 0%. Almost immediately,

reboot the system

. After restarting the system is the same thing over and over.

Removing and reinserting the battery solves both of these problems.
