Unsetting ask and defaulting it to disk drive got it working, at least. Looks good. :) I like the speed of the ROM, though I might go back to plain old HelixLauncher - I don't know if I need the 3D app drawer. :D

One thing I am missing - anybody know where to find the stock Android music player and widget? I do need my tunes... Googling around hasn't quite helped yet.
[Desire Android Development] :
This is a Desire forum mate, and we want Nexus additives.... And if you used the sense contacts you would understand why;)

Evil a proposal;)

Just to the barebone version

to add Nexus voice dial and voice navigation;) The one with the car wheel icon;)

and to add nexus phone dialer and contact setup.

Then i think it would be the perfect hybrid;)))

JD;)
[Desire Android Development] :
Professor just download Meridian pioneer player from the market;)

You will be glad you did;)

JD;)
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
Or get TuneWiki, very good music player too. With a widget.

We've been there already. Should have bought a Nexus then :p lol

Tbh, I prefer Sense contacts, much more functional and pretty.

All I was really saying, one is a Sense version, for those that like it, the other is Barebones for those that don't... don't start mixing them up, surely?
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Let's pretend I really liked the simplicity and the color scheme of the default music app and didn't want shiny things all over my homescreens... :D

I'm flying around this ROM, eViL. Well done.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
I can only agree :)

But I'm downloading v073 now to give it a try (right after I see what the CM506 port is all about, hehe). I've played with v062 for a day, very nice... I'll probably fall back to it if I decide I want the 'full Sense experience' :)
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
+1

I think the Android Music is tied to HtcMusic and its widget. I tried removing them from one of Evil's ROMs and I lost the Android app as well :(

Anyway, here's the .apk from the CMport ROM, see if it works. If not, I could upload the HTC stuff.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Found it! Google saves again. It's attached - it'll give you a different music backend than what was originally on the Desire, because that's certainly embedded in Sense, but the widget's nice and standard Android. :D
[Desire Android Development] :
The 5.06 rom cannot be used properly at the moment as it has many many flaws that need to be addressed;((

I think Evils rom is the way forward, as it mods the stock htc rom, so there are no compatability problems;)))

Andy,

you keep to the Sense rom and i will keep to the barebone rom then we will all be happy;) lollol

The barebone is growing into a nexus clone and its lovely, because it has the htc rom underneath it all;)))

Evil your Barebone rom for me is already ahead of cyanogens rom and you should be very proud;)))))

JD
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
For the record, .73 seems to work fine, except the Market is still broken. Very slow and only some of my apps showing as installed.
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
Yeah, that's fine :) That's what I was saying :)
[Desire Android Development] q13:
yes i can

her is it

mediafire.com/?nhb1yyxtant

copy it and but in your browser

thanks million
[Desire Android Development] :
Maybe evil can rename the ROMS

Sense ROM, aNDY rom

Barebone ROM JuPitER ROM

hahaha,

Only Kidding;))
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
As long as you're wiping everything as stated in OP, it should work fine. My market seems to be the opposite of yours.
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
More than likely, I will start uploading the missing files as updates to flash. Phone contacts and dialer didn't work out so well. Maybe i'll try again later.

Yes and probably no.
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Have you tried flashing this? What are your results with that and my rom?
[Desire Android Development] :
Brilliant evil,

yeah updates will be better, then we dont have to wipe completly and start again;(

;)

Your doing a good job mate;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] q13:
I tried in modaco rooting but i have a problem with the browser and market which is(Force Close) :confused:

but when I tried flashing your rom, the rom stopped working :(

thanks :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
Hmm, I didn't wipe, as with most ROM's I've used, upgrades of the same ROM normally haven't required it. Changing ROM's usually does.

Well, maybe tomorrow I'll wipe and flash again... but I may just go back to my N1, which is more functional with CM 5.0.6 at the moment.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
One other thing I've noticed, not sure if others have - my sync icon is constantly on, the round double-arrow circle in the notification bar. I don't think I've ever seen it go off. I don't think it's still syncing things up, but who knows.

Anybody else see that? Just makes it a little cluttered up there. :D
[Desire Android Development] xSphinx:
Hi! Can you create a new theme with standard battery icon? I love it))) :p
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Hi there ! Does this custom rom include (or could it), as Paul's cyanogen version does, the patch enabling the music player to handle flac ?

thx in advance ;)
[Desire Android Development] :
The battery icon in the barebone is pure class,Evil is working towards a really great rom, and that battery icon works well.

If you want a rom with the old battery icon, download a release pre v5,

Cheers;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] :
That means your phone is constantly syncing, this is very undesirable as it will EAT your battery alive!!!!

You will have to find the cause of your constant sync;/

JD
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Yeah, looks like he said it was a test. Hrmm....

let me know your results afterwards.

Check your apns, make sure they are correct.

Sorry, no. You can download AndLess though.
[Desire Android Development] adrian_nene16:
hello guys i have a question.. ill buy an htc desire this week and im wondering if this rom improves the video recordings? because i saw some reviews on youtube and they said the video quality sucks, can anyone tell me?

thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
new barebone for testing. v.080
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Guess what I just finished downloading :D (found 080 by mistake, I was looking for 072 bare)... Flashing in a few min...
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Just a couple of comments, after a few minutes with v080 barebone: (updated with found bugs)

bugs

- a Nexus-like lockscreen... yaaay! :) too bad it's broken, I hope you'll be able to fix it, though (possibly, with trackball support, like in the CM-port) - personally, I would prefer horizontal sliders, but I have a feeling you were planning for vertical ones, eh?

- the music widget is transparent (?!?)... I installed the .apk provided earlier in this thread and that version seems OK, maybe you would consider including that one in future releases?

- in the previous versions, under Locale, I could only choose between English and a couple of other eastern languages, but not Romanian - now I get a huge list of countries, but if I choose Romanian, I'm not able to see what I'm typing in messaging/mail - if I use English for Locale, everything is alright

suggestions

- two menus in Settings don't really make sense anymore, but I don't know if it's easy to remove them: Personalize (because it's exclusive to Sense) and Accessibility (since the apps were removed, but I guess this could be left there in case anyone needs it?)

- I wonder if it wouldn't be better to remove even more apps (Facebook, Flickr, Stocks...etc) and just pack them up in an update.zip for whoever needs them; that would make the ROM even more... 'bare' :)

- would it be possible to replace the default music app with the HTC version? I very much like the Android widget for Music, but the application itself is rather... horrid :( actually, what bothers me the most is the player window (especially the poorly drawn buttons), not the entire app... so if anyone knows of any skins for it, that would work too

Anyway... leaving aside the small nitpicks... v080bare promises to be a great release, at least after the first 10 minutes spent with it.

(oh, oh... Launcher2 is included and set as default, Sense don't live here anymore :) )
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
when trying to flash the .80, i get missing files: system/customize/MNS/26806.xml

so the installation process est aborted at failed verification stage...
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Hmmm... bad update script, maybe? It could be caused by a corrupt download, too.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik?
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Did you modify the zip? If not, try redownloading. I really should do md5....
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Interesting with the typing..... I can think of 2 things....

Yeah, I don't like the stock music app either.

I forgot the music app is skinned. LOL, that was from my other ROM.

As for the settings. I'd have to dig in the xml, I think.
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
BTW, new test ROM uploading. I haven't check to see if it even boots. If it does, hallelujah!
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
WOW, u are a star, thanks for your work :)

Whats goodies is in the latest rom?
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
One more thing: when selecting a wallpaper for the launcher, if I choose Wallpaper instead of Gallery, I get a list with quite a lot of previews of... missing files :) (just the first one is there, a grey grid pattern, the rest are missing). Maybe it would be better to remove the Wallpaper option altogether, since the Gallery can be used for any file?
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
Strangely, I wiped everything and re-applied the 0.73 and now it wont boot...

I'm trying to go back to stock rooted ROM for now. I think re-partitioning would probably fix it, but I have to be off to work in 30 minutes, so that can wait till later...
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
This is a feature from arctu's launcher2, he removed the walls to reduce size.
[Desire Android Development] :
Evil,

I thought you was gonna do the updates as update zips? Are you still looking into that?

Also mate, the battery consumption for 9 hours asleep was 7 percent battery loss, amazing;))

That is for barebone v7

JD
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Is that good? I was slightly worried about 5% lost over 8h sleep with v062 'normal' (but with auto-sync off, just weather updates AFAIK)

Anyway, one more bug:

- on the lockscreen, if you have any slim digits for the hour (eg 10 or 11), one or two digits from the minutes will 'climb up' on the upper row (11:11 is shown on a single row, for example)
[Desire Android Development] AndyCr15:
OK, I had to re-partition anyway.

Totally fresh install of 0.73 and market still seems broken, very very slow.

If it matters I'm on Orange in the UK...
[Desire Android Development] :
I would consider that fantastic compared with some reports of 40 percent loss in a nifht

and my record with the stock Rom of just over 10 percent;)
[Desire Android Development] pitsyapa:
Am able to install Barebone versions, but not the other ones, tried everthing, not successful. Even tried repartioning, wiping everthing from a to z in the list. cache, dalvak, battery, ext, battery, etc everthing. installed the normal version. Get FCs every time. on tmobile uk. any solutions.
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
A bug with the latest barebone (may be in all barebone roms thou). buttons on headset remote don't control the music player.

Else than this (and graphic glitch for lock screen) its a fantastic rom. :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Doc the headset buttons work 4 me mate, on barebone v7 on meridian player;)
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Wired or bluetooth? I have no problems with my BT headset (Sony DR-BT20NX) on v080, play/pause, next, previous all work (on the stock music player). Don't have a wired one with play controls to test, though.

Oh and, thanks for the info on the Launcher wallpapers.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Headset buttons work on barebones 0.72 with the default music app.

I apndroided my APNs, turned off mobile data, and rebooted, but I still get a persistent sync icon. It doesn't appear to have negatively affected my battery life, though - so mayhaps it's just a quirk. I might give an updated version a shot tonight.
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
I seems my headset gave up, so roms is not to blame :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Is anyone else getting 3mp like pics with the barebone v7?? When i zoom in on the pics in the cooris gallery, the quality is terrible.....

edit..

Is ok, but i think i pefer the htc photos app than the coolris gallery;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] Eddiemc:
Man, I love the way the barebone is shaping up:)

In regards to the stock lock issue, its the same issue that happens on the hero too...

(I've posted this a bit back, but here it is again:

http://geekfor.me/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/)

The link is for a hero fix, and I don't have the skills to re-mod it, but somebody here should be able to apply the fix on the desire.

I've asked around a bit for this, and I'll post when I get some more info..
[Desire Android Development] sanfran:
reboot with v.062 with A2SD

Hi,

My phone reboots everytim I connect via USB to the PC with version v0.62 with A2SD -

any solution for this?

Thx!
[Desire Android Development] :
Icould not get that version working either;( Even with a repartition and partitioning again....

I can get the barebone versions working ok though;)))
[Desire Android Development] Eddiemc:
adblock

Here's a suggestion:

Due to the current root situation, adblock software doesn't work properly, due to them not having write access to modify the hosts file on the fly.

How about including a modded hosts file in your rom?

I know jamesisbored has something for his droid, downloadable on his site. If you could bake that into the rom, the we'd have adblock in browser and apps...

That should in theory make it seem even faster;)

Unless somebody disagree?

-----edit

http://sprend.com/download.jsp?FileId=H2LyTwBNCm8Dui6zusCr

here's the hosts file if somebody wanna try adblock;) (its a onetime download, but feel free to share again, and all credit goes to jamesisbored)
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Link is broken, but i tried to change the host file. All ok so far.
[Desire Android Development] Eddiemc:
Yea, it only had one time download..

I used jamesisbored's adblock "back in the days" on my iphone, and it worked really well..

Give a shoutout if it breaks something.

Here's the orig link:

http://jamesisbored.com/droid/adblock

Some websides will display poorly if adblocked, but i used opera mini for those...

Again, I'd like to see this hosts file in the evil barebone rom;)
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Really really stupid question, really : what does "AOSP" stand for ?
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
i'm guessing it means Android Open Source Project in this case
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Ah ok, in order to make a difference with closed source google inc. version of the gmail, gmaps... apps ?

Btw, where did you get your 16gb class6 microsdhc please ?
[Desire Android Development] :
Getting a system flash failure with the barebone v8 file;( Tried it with another sd card as well, same failure;(

flashed v7 again;)

JD
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
i picked one up on ebay for £49.95

i was going to post the item number, but now when i go to the page it's been updated to £94.95 :eek:

Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

My connection seems to be capped at 43kbps... Why would that be? When I look in settings, there is usually an option to force it into 2G, that's not there which makes me think I don't have access to 3G with this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
You have set up the apn?

I get 2104Kbps down and 1148Kbps up with speedtest, same as with stock rom

Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

yeah I think I'm going too revert back to some things.

Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

Ad block was in there until last release. I'll put it back.
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Any fix for the lock-screen glitz..?

Love the latest barebone, getting better for every release :)
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

Well if the de odexed version works, I can probably make the necessary changes, if not, I need to wait for said version.
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

You changed your mobile network mode to wcdma or auto?
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

Only if the deodexed version works, doc.
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Ok, i put back the htc version until its fixed, no big issue :)
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Looks like I'm getting even better battery consumption with v080... 4% lost over 6h sleep, with sync enabled (4 emails, 2 texts, 2 missed calls, weather updates at every 2h).

Not bad at all!

Now... has anyone tried flashing the deODEXed version? Or should I do it? :D

Hmmm.... mediafire is down now, I'll try again later.
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
v080 deodexd - touch input (process com.htc.android.htcime) causes fc's every time I try to write something, anywhere; can't switch to swype, either - I get the fc as soon as I touch a writing field :(

basically, there's not much to play with in these conditions - I can't login to Google to retrieve my contacts, I can't access the market to install a file manager, so it's not possible to install anything; there's one nice thing in the ROM though: the customized icons from the shutdown menu (when pressing the power button) have been deskinned, they look much nicer like this... I wish it could be done for the settings menu too!
[Desire Android Development] :
Mate your lucky you can even install v8

I just get a system write error in recovery;(

JD
[Desire Android Development] puschkin:
yes me too..i tried to get the v.80 a2sd bare very slow download and after finished downloading and installing i got in recovery the error:Missing file:system/customize/MNS/26806.xml. Verification failed. Maybe it's because the very slow download at mediafire..please make a mirror for rapidshare or something else.
[Desire Android Development] :
puschkin exactly the same, snap;)))))))

And i installed it with a fresh card, so that counts as a davik wipe and a clean cache;((

Any ideas evil??
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Try the wipe when holding down volume in boot..?
[Desire Android Development] puschkin:
Wiped everything before i installed the zip..did not work either
[Desire Android Development] :
wipe then hold down volume in boot? when do you want me to take this step, before or after flashing?

the error is when im flashing;((

JD
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
There is a bug in the recovery, dalvik cache will not be cleared.
[Desire Android Development] :
i used a fresh sd card, and it still did not work;(
[Desire Android Development] puschkin:
while i was still in recovery mode i tried another rom and everything went fine..so it not depends on the dalvik cache bug
[Desire Android Development] :
im gonna wipe the partition and try and install v8 again, let see if that works;) if it dosent i will have to make do with v7 for now;)
[Desire Android Development] :
puschkin exactly the same for me mate,

v7 works fine for me

v8 i get the system write errors

Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

repartitioning and partitioning again should clear the davik cache, right?

class 2, the one that comes with the device;)) gonna give v8 another whirl mate, just waiting for v7 to download to fall back on if i fail;)

i cant access the v7 file, media file is not letting me in;(

4 shared please evil..thanks:)also for v.80 bare
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
v080-deodexed booted alright. I could open up the apps too, but just the keyboard was f**ked up :)

Then again, I have never had problems booting your ROMs (except an early one, which had a bad install script).

EDIT- I don't use A2SD, if that makes any difference
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
Just installed the last v080-deodexed. Phone boots OK, but crashes on startup after a couple of seconds when displaying the locked screen (which does not respond btw).

Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Re: [ROM-MOD] eViL De-SiRe v.073 A2SD & Barebone v.080 (Bravo) [5/3/10]

I well get those uploaded.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Despite the sync icon still being constantly on, after a day of use, I'm only down to 70% battery. This pretty much rules. Well done, evil.

I am, however, still looking for reasons for the sync icon and ways to correct it. If I turn off sync via the power widget, no dice. If I turn off auto-sync, it stays. If I turn off background data entirely, it goes away after a couple minutes. Start it back up, and the icon persists again.

Anybody know commands I can use in adb or the phone to figure out what the hell exactly is looking for data this much?
[Desire Android Development] DocRambone:
Disable automatic system update, in settings/about phone/system software updates
[Desire Android Development] cezarL:
Deodexed seemed somewhat faster than v073 regular but not by much. I didn't spend too much time with it, I needed kb access :)

(just my two cents: coming from a Touch HD, the Desire is very powerful anyway, it's difficult to judge speed improvements between ROM versions... they all look damn fast to me)
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
Uploading .v073 a2sd and v.072 barebone to 4 shared. I will update first post.
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
Done and rebooted. Even with background data turned entirely off, there's still something syncing. I can cancel it in the general sync settings screen, but I get the feeling it'll be back.

I'll give it a shot for a couple hours, then try the new barebones. :)
[Desire Android Development] eViL D::
That's really odd. Is there a data counter app that can see if anything is actually transferring?
[Desire Android Development] The Professor:
I used to have a 3G Watchdog when I cared about data usage. I'll download it and give it a whirl.
[Desire Android Development] puschkin:
Can you also update v.80 a2sd barebone?
