As it feels laggy, is it because the rom is installed on the ext4 partition ?
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
WiFi doesn't turn on it turns off when screen goes off also it doesn't detect anything.

i think i know why, needs drivers.

It's Incredible that I'm eating Lollipop on Desire with this hboot and rom.

After reboot it goes More smoothly, but it can't root so can't turn on navigation bar, sensors also isn't working.

I found that my ext3 partition1 had became used 254.25mb/345.37mb, ext3 partition2 had became used 231.98mb/1.02GB(still the same, and I installed some App from bluetooth), the phone system 252.5/255, data 178.0/180, cache 3.4/5.
[Desire Android Development] sparulez:
i tried to flash this rom , but in the first setup i had a problem : " uncrypter error. Do a factory reset "

whats mean?
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
No worries. This ROM is no longer installed on internal phone partitions. It requires sd-ext and sd-ext2 partitions formatted with ext4-fs. Or to put it in other words, it does not really matter from which hboot you come. You should only take care of having a fast SD card (class 6 or 10).
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Thanks, and yes I know that a few things are not yet working. Please patiently wait for a new release................................
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
You need to make 2 ext4 partitions using 4ext recovery.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
The ROM needs two sd-ext partitions to extract Android OS (/system and /data). Please also check the updated installation hints in post #1.
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
What's the class of your SD? Sometimes, if your SD has reached its capacity, it makes sense to clear/format the fat partition to boost it up. (of course, don't forget to backup your files) ;)
[Desire Android Development] maxens63:
Correct... I changed my sd card for an old one, as it's not my daily use phone.

So it's an old class
[Desire Android Development] mihirego:
Excellent!

Installed and running fine.

Laggy, but I have a Class 4 SD card, that will change soon. And the wifi problem mentioned earlier.

[Desire Android Development] Fobos531:
Hey spezi, thanks for your work on HTC Desire. Almost 5 years passed from release and it's so nice to see people are still working on it. However, I have a couple of question that I'd like you to answer.

1) In the SD card partioning part this is mentioned(the bold part):

What does that exactly mean? Should I create swap or not? If yes, which would be the recommended size?

2) To partition SD card using GParted, do I need to insert it into PC via card reader or can I do it via USB cable while it is in the phone?

3) How exactly do sd card classes affect ROM and overall phone performance?

4) Is Kingston's class 10 SD card a good choice for this ROM(and others as well)?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Fobos531
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
No don't do swap partitions but Idk for gparted u should check the guide. The higher the class the faster it is. Are you s off?
[Desire Android Development] Fobos531:
I am. Why do you ask that?
[Desire Android Development] Saf98:
You don't need to use gparted method:) use 4ext recovery to partition instead. Make sure u backup ur files on ur sd card because it format the sd card.
[Desire Android Development] Des!re:
Hey all!!

First: BIG THANKS to spezi77 (Spezi ist spitze!) for all his great work for our old ladies (Desire)!!

And second:

Think about the speed of the sd-card!

10 is not the fastest!

4 ist not the slowest!

It just says that class 10 SD cards have a sequential (important!) read/write of minimum 10MB/s. The class 4 SD cards have a sequential (important!) read/write of minimum 4MB/s. Means average writing speed for big files!

And that means? How they behave read/write small files? Like 512k blocks or even 4k blocks? And these are the files the system is using quite often. This is the important speed!!

And these speed's are different from the class XY Number... In realty the speed writing for example 4k blocks is varying between 0.01MB/s (a class 10 card!) and 1.6MB/s

Here you see 6 SD-Cards between class 4 and 10:

[IMG="sd-card benchmark"]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6451/7d7t.jpg[/IMG]

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6451/7d7t.jpg

The fastest writing 4k blocks... is the class 4!!! The slowest... class 10!!!

But this is not the ultimate truth because the class indicator just messures the sequintial speed. So best is to benchmark your card and locking for the 4k speed!Q

There is some benchmarks here (again, most important for systemfiles is 4k!). Maybe you find your card here or an idea which one to buy next:

[Desire Android Development] GoodSoul:
Installed latest version right now (no swap partition) and its working. WiFi is currently not working, some actions seems a little slow but I love it. :)

I wonder why we are not able to install a gapps package. According to "storage" there is plenty of space on my Internal Storage and my SD-Card. Any way to install (at least) the pico (uni) package with ~40mb?

My device:

HTC Desire Bravo PV1 SHP S-OFF

HBOOT 6.93.1002

Touch Panel SYNW0101

Radio 5.17.05.23

Recovery: 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC9 Testing, build: 40

Can someone port F2FS to the Kernel of the ROM? Maybe [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] and the Dev of 4EXT (recovery) could work together on this issue? I would really speed up the r/w speed to/of the SDCard (see Benchmark).

[ROM] [4.4.4] [Sep-14] [UNOFFICIAL] CarbonRom | Fast, Snappy & Stable | v1.0 | ART

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658853

It's just the best rom ever (till now!) released for desire!

###################### AND HERE COMES MY QUESTION ######################

I just flashed CarbonRom 4.4.4 from spezi77 couple of days ago and I'm really satisfied!

It is installed on the internal nand flash and the app's and stuff is outsourced to a micro-sd.

As I read and because of selinux restrictions etc. the installation of lollipop can only be down on the micro-sd for now.

My question is now:

What is changed in the nand flash to be able to run (basically to start) the rom (lollipop) from micro-sd? What needs to be backup and flashed back to start my 'old' rom from the internal nand?

My next idea is already a kind of dual-boot with a minimalistic bootlader which I can choose rather if I wan't my "4.4.4 Rom" from the internal nand flash (and the right micro-sd) or if i wan't to start the "Lollipop 5 Rom" from the (other right) micro-sd!

As long lollipop is not a daily-driver jet I could try lollipop without kicking away my everyday rom ;)
[Desire Android Development] spezi77:
Yep, agreed. :D

Let's first get LP stable, then consider fancy stuff.

Some good news.

I update the 4ext recovery. It use both ext4 sdcard partition for /system and /data now. We can install any zip like the normal way. Only fstab changes need in ramdisk for old boot.img. You can flash gapps, supersu ... . Will do some tests if it works i will upload recovery.

--> no more problems with no free space on /system

Edit:

Works well.

My partition layout for sdcard

1. partition primary fat32

2. partition primay ext4 1 Gb = system

3. partition primary ext4 6 GB = data

Attached new recovery. !!!!!! WORKS only with Android 5.0.2 or patch boot.img for older roms """"

!! rename file to recovery.img and flash it with fastboot

Edit2:

Use only pico pa gapps. http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

New test version + custom hboot uploaded. Please carefully read in post #1 how to use it.

The ROM has now DalvikOnNAND which significantly decreases lags. In Playstore you can get the app "FreeSpace". With this app you can view the storage capacitity of your phone incl. the new "/dataint" partition on which ART/Dalvik-cache has been relocated.

Please be aware that adding your Google account is a still a terrible thing. Therefore please be patient when doing it.

If you should experience lags or connection timeouts, please consider to let the ROM settle down and/or reboot your phone!

Feedback: The installation itself of the ROM went fairly fine. I changed the CPU governor to performance but it didn't really make a difference. I tried to set up my account in Play Store, but everytime I enter email & password, it just doesn't accept it. It puts me back at entering email and password again. So I tried to download bouncy ball apk through browser but no success. The browser lags like heck. Do you need more information from me?

Update: That was yesterday. I tried to install Bouncyball from playstore and the installation went fine. Additional things I have done are: disable fancy ui elements and set the zRAM option to 30% and rebooted. BouncyBall works, but not as smooth as in lower Android ROMs. The drop in FPS is 5-10 if I'm right.
