Hi, thank you for getting the latest Android releases to run on the Saga. I successfully switched to Sagaopt and installed CM13 on it but unfortunately it was useless for me as the phone was way too slow, so I want to switch back to Saga and install CM11.

I have the same issues as Liell and Endlessknight., my /data is still used by the SD card and I can't access the card via /sdcard. When I try to flash a cm-11-xxx-saga.zip, it says "Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/cm-11-xxx-saga.zip". What can I do?
[Desire HD Android Development] Dormat:
Unable to mount storage.

While attempting to update to the CM12.1.1 Nov 20116 nightly, I ran into a problem; it would never get past the boot logo.

When I open Recovery (now TWRP v2.8.7.0), /sdcard (internal storage) will not mount. In the repair screen I see:

Present: No
Size: 0 MB

If I hit the Repair button in TWRP with sdcard highlighted, I see:

E: Unable to recreate and-sec folder.
Updating partition details...
...done
E: Unable to mount storage.
E: Unable to mount /sdcard during GUI startup.

.....

I can install and run CM11 but it seems to be running partially from the external card. I'm now noticing that ace-opt does this for speed purposes which I was running at one point while troubleshooting TWRP (but not now). What data can I gather to help fix this?

Thanks.

Few weeks ago my Desire HD(Inspire 4g) died due to overheat. Though its still in pristine condition.

So I was clearing up some space on Mega. And found few ROM collection which I've accumulated over the course of 4-5 years since 2.3.5 onwards. Interested fellows kindly look into it.

[Desire HD Android Development] pavel.bosco:
trying to get my DHD back to life. it seems it have some problem with chromium, which just fails with EGL out of memory at google accounts page, so I can't log in into google play and download anything.

I checked it is not phone problem since I can login by Chrome (not Chromium), which I installed from /sdcard.

the question is, how can I add google account using Chrome? it always fall back to webview for adding google account and webview is chromium...:(

upd: got it worked by installing android system webview from sdcard. just that simple. huh...

great job, guys, who made this rom and 13 too,

I decided to go with 12.1, since I first faced same problem with play login there and thought this is version problem.

12.1 seems a bit smoother for me than 13.

[Desire HD Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Hello! I'm a bit late to the party but I'm wondering how can I go back to the ace partitioning. I'm currently on aceopt, don't have an sdcard into the phone since I put it in a different phone a few months ago. I need to get the phone working without an sdcard again. When I try to format the partitions it says ''/data not found'' or something like this. I researched about this topic but this is the only clue that I found:

If you want to switch back to regular ace builds later on you will need to format your sdcard again to have meaningful directory structure in it, or manually fix it.

I can't figure out much by this information. Can anyone help me out? Don't worry if you see this late, the phone is laying in the drawer anyway but it'd be great to get it working again.

edit: I figured it out. I needed a spare sdcard. Format the sdcard(data) partition to fat. Flash the regular ace recovery, after that you will see that it detects the partitions normally. Wipe them and after that you are good to go.

Wonderful!!

It's really a very good solution to speed DHD with CM12.1 and save the battery life.

After installing L SPPED V1.9, DHD goes into bootloop....

So I uninstall V1.9 and back to V1.8.
[Desire HD Android Development] teorouge:
Nice, I finally got 12.1 to boot! :)

Can I ask you a couple of questions:

Which partitions do you suggest converting to F2FS? I see cache and data can be used, what do you think about?

Is QuickBoot already present in this build?

Sharing Experience of half resolution boot animation

Mustaavalkosta suggested I decided to try the half resolution boot animation. I first removed the existing animation by renaming it "bootanimation.old" in /system/media/. To my surprise after reboot I still got a boot animation, but this time the simple word Android, all lower case with a slow wave of change in borightness. This was much shorter than the standard CM12.1 animation and the boot process was about 1/3 as long.

I then installed the half resolution animation and re-booted. Now the boot process was 10 minutes at least. To make sure it was not a "first boot" syndrome, I re-booted several times, but each time the boot process took much longer than with the standard animation. Has anyone else tried this lower resolution animation? With what results?

I am afraid I have now removed the boot animation again and am back to the simple "Android" animation, with the phone booting faster as a result.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
There's no mystery to this. Using bootanimation consumes CPU time and uses RAM thus the impact on time spent bringing up everything else. It is a valid speed up tactic to remove it if you don't mind watching the default placeholder Android text. If people are interested to kill it I can probably put together a flashable zip file with backuptool support so it gets removed automatically with update flashes. I rather not kill it from the builds themselves though.
[Desire HD Android Development] pat99:
[MENTION=4159070]MikhailM1[/MENTION], anything you don't want to use on your system either use .bak instead of .old Or delete it prior to flash. Thus no complications happens.

Btw i've tried 20150417 nightly with TWRP 2.8.6.1 n F2FS took approx 20min on first boot. And subsequent boots took around 3-5min max.
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Yes, of course any boot animation takes up CPU time and delays the boot process. What I was surprised by is that the half resolution animation actually appeared to delay completion of boot significantly longer than the standard CM12.1 animation. Certainly you should keep the animation in the builds. Others may have different views, but I do not think you need to spend any additional time putting together a zip file to remove the animation.For those who prefer not to have it, it is easy to remove/rename.

And a great big thank you for this brilliant work and for the advice you give to both worthwhile and even to "lazy" questions, from members, who do not read the first page notes, FAQs, etc..(including me!).

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Thanks, I agree and I indeed normally to use the .bak extension. I did not want to remove it totally, as I thought I may have wanted to use again.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Hmm, so you are saying full resolution bootanimation boots faster than half resolution? I may have misunderstood you if that's the case. I thought you were wondering why placeholder boots faster than actual bootanimation. If this is true then I can agree it's a bit weird because full resolution uses more resources thus indirectly breaking dex2aot binary which crashes from OOM situation and then system complains about storage space. I guess it goes without saying already that this doesn't happen with half-resolution one.

What could explain what you are experiencing is that once dex2aot crashes it skips what it was doing instead of retrying thus "speeding up" the boot but I'm sure everyone can agree skipping vital parts of boot process is not exactly a good thing. :)

gesture typing / swype not working for me, anyone else? :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Having updated the CM12.1 OTA to the 20150419 build and having read your reply I decided to re-check the length of the boot process with the latest build. The re-boot (not the original first boot) was taking over 20 minutes. So, I decided something was wrong with my set-up or settings. So I decided on a new clean install of everything, which I am in the process of doing and will report, what I find.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
It doesn't work without installing Google Keyboard addon of gapps. Gesture typing is not open source thus it requires Google's proprietary library to function and I have intentionally left it out mainly because the feature is available through gapps.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368

Download and install Google Keyboard addon for 5.0.2+. Or if you insist on using AOSP keyboard with gesture typing you need to find up-to-date proprietary library somewhere. It used to be named liblatinime_jni.so but that may have changed since. Keeping this library up-to-date was kind of cumbersome which is the other main reason why I couldn't be arsed with it anymore.

Sharing experience

I have now done a completely clean install of CM12.1 20150419 with the 510 20150418 Gapps and everything is running smoothly. However I found a curious thing - probably because my DHD was originally in Russia and my sim inside is from a Russian provider the Rom on first boot had all the dialog setup screens in Russian and offered only the choice of local languages. This has never happened to me with JB or KK. It happened earlier with an earlier build of Lolipop CM12.1, but not the last time a tried. Not a problem, as the language can be changed in Settings later, but a curious thing, which never happened prior to Lolipop.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Yeah, I think this enabled some kind of localization detection from SIM data. I also started getting setup screen in Finnish after that commit but I'm able to switch it to basicly whatever I want.

After fresh install n setting up device with CM12 20150418, I went to try out L Speed v1.9 so there was no existing version on my device before this thing happen.

Exactly. I've been following L Speed since day one, also aware of battle between k1ks and Paget96, usually there has no changes on final test build n final release version. But this time something has changed and which hangs our device on bootloop. :(

Unlikely as there are hardware buttons for that. Touch screen volume buttons seem to be tablet only.

It used to be quite shaky but I haven't tried it more recently. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not working that well though.

Install ROM and then install gapps/inspiremod.

It says S-ON or S-OFF in your bootloader (turn off the device, and then hold power and volume down).

First, you don't install anything to system partition. It's a read-only partition. The free space available there after ROM (+ gapps) is not relevant in this case.

Second, there has been an issue with bootanimation eating up too much resources and crashing dex2aot which then leads to this quite unrelated notification about free space. It kind of went away with lowres bootanimation but I have also got the notification after regular reboot so the issue is still somewhat ongoing although rebooting again has fixed it for me this far. You can try this too or remove the whole bootanimation (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) for now, reboot and the issue will likely go away.

When i unmount the sdcard under CM12/CM12.1 to change it, i can't remount the new one. Android always say, that i should insert another one. Only after a reboot the changed sdcard is recognised.:(

Is it known ?
[Desire HD Android Development] MikhailM1:
Once again, Mustaavalkosta, great big thank you for the hard work. 20150424 is working beautifully on my DHD. And the half resolution boot animation is indeed reducing the re-boot time. I also greatly appreciate the provision of OTA. The roms I used before CM12.1 LP did not have it, but this works perfectly, as well, or better than HTC's used to!
[Desire HD Android Development] rjand:
I found in CM12 that only the sdcard that is inserted during boot is recognised

[Desire HD Android Development] JMailuhu:
I'm using CM12.1 (04/24) coming from One+ 11S-M12 rom, and i must say it runs pretty good.

First boot took about 15 minutes, but every reboot only takes like 2 minutes which is a drastic improvement over previous builds, because according to some people here "every" reboot took 15+ minutes or so (even after deleting bootanimation.zip).

The first few hours after flash, the ui etc. feel laggy and sluggish, but now that the rom has settled with the device it runs pretty smooth (a little lag swiping up/down system menu now and than).

I'm not experiencing this "New User" reboot after adding a new user/switching back to owner, nor did i come across any other error's.

1st fully charged battery got drained very fast upon first flash, after another complete battery charge, the battery seems to be stable and the phone has been "idle" for 12+ hours and it's only at 83%... great!!

Also upon checking my storage i saw that my internal storage is 1,13GB and that i have 858MB storage left.

Internal: 1,13GB / external: 13GB

Is that normal? Or because i made a 2048MB [0 swap] sd-ext/4ext partition (with TWRP) from my 16GB SDcard?

I'm not quite sure if int2ext or w/e is even applied trough CM12.1 (i also thought of converting 4ext to f2fs partition).

Anyway it's even more space than with the 11S-M12 rom which had like 480MB internal storage left (Though i never had any problems regarding insufficient storage space, unlike my old Wildfire S)

I'll be updating to 04/26 tomorrow, i think..

Why is there a function to mount/unmount the ext. sdcard with CM 12/12.1 :confused: :D :confused:
