Since this rom doesn't use SenseUI you can't use Sense widgets. Same goes to any launcher.
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
cheers again robbie, so what would the difference be between this an opendesire rom?

obviously one has froyo and one does not? correct?
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
The only SenseUI ROM running FroYo is the soon to be released one in the toher thread by ninja.rogue, DJ and crew. If you prefer sense wait for that, I guess it's the one to wait for anyway considering the other awesome improvements on board.

Sparta is 2.1 based so doesn't have the added perfromance of FroYo or the native Android Apps2SD among many other things.
[Desire Android Development] barrons:
At the moment what is the best rom to go for then robbie? if i want froyo and a2sd
[Desire Android Development] robbiekhan:
IMO, AdamG's OpenDesire 1.5 if you want FroYo or Pays Sparta 1.3 with UVOC kernel if you don't mind 2.1.

I'm just waiting for 1.6 final to be released as I tend to use camcorder a lot and the only 1.6pre issue that affects me is the camcorder not working (being fixed in final Adam said).

I guess after the Sense version is released people will start to port over the 720p, h.264 and other internals to other FroYo roms.

I'm no expert of course, I just try all these roms and use what works fast and clean!
[Desire Android Development] DerZombie:
This would be very nice!! :)
[Desire Android Development] cyberxda:
how amazing is the battery life u have from Amer_Bravox rom? I get 4d+ standby w/ few calls a day with Sparta.
[Desire Android Development] PsYDoX:
With HTC Sense xD
[Desire Android Development] TheBigB86:
Seriously?

Is multitouch software based? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] rdy2go:
No Exchange calendar sync?

No Quick Office?

If above is true then it's not for business users like me.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Unfortunately full Exchange sync is a part of HTC Sense...
[Desire Android Development] PsYDoX:
i think so, multitouch in menü and so on iss sense based, but multitouch in browser must be working?!
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
This small bug just happens because the setup wizard is removed.

Yes, just remove the "Ask" Checkbox and all is working fine.

I added the setup wizard back in brave soul 1.9, so no problem there ;)

If the stock supports polish, this one does, too :)

All is working fine.. ;)

Of course its working, who is telling you something different :)
[Desire Android Development] Karboush:
Hello,

Nice work Pay87!

I know there is no exchange sync because of sense being removed.

However I'd like to know if there is a stock app for "pop" mail.
[Desire Android Development] mupper:
i thoufgt android HAS exchange sync. what´s the different between android and HTC Sense Exchange sync?

Becouse i think about a rom without sense, but i have an exchange mail, calendar and contacts!
[Desire Android Development] Karboush:
I can't see any app mail related except G-mail.

I think I had an app called email on my G1 but cannot find it there

Edit: Apparently stock email app was not present in desire's stock rom. Here is a way to install it
[Desire Android Development] 7pellc:
Wow, One word sums this up...

Fast.

Its a beast...I've yet to notice any bugs, going to use it for a couple of days. Got to say tho, removed launcher and gone for Launcher Pro. Better Option ;)
[Desire Android Development] Jabbypants:
Some easy solutions here download launcher pro from the market place and install it and remove Helix Launcher and download usb switcher from the market place, install and set it as a widget and enable usb that way.
[Desire Android Development] looking-g:
how can i switch the keyboard to dutch language fine rom by the way thanks
[Desire Android Development] stewcp:
Regarding email, I guess the original 2.1 android email app can be installed... this works with multiple exchange accounts (better than the htc app)... As with Calendars, is there a calendar app in this release? if not, can one be installed?

As far as I tested this ROM, the crappy keyboard is the only downside of it. Big thanks anyways, Pays
[Desire Android Development] lexi1986:
Great rom and verry fast, only thing i miss is Exchange Support
[Desire Android Development] Bobblot:
Thanks for the great rom, really loving the speed! One issue I'm having is there is no comments showing in Market?

Everything else is great. :D
[Desire Android Development] Arthur Hucksake:
I have HSPDA on alot to sync Twitter and stuff, make calls,fair bit of texting and I would lose battery fast even when the phone is idle using the straight up MCR.

The Amer_Bravox atleast let's me keep the battery life from dropping when not using the handset, went to bed with 90% couple of days ago, used phone allday yesterday and still had 50% left so that's pretty awesome.

I'll give Pays rom a try now though, be interesting to see the differences.
[Desire Android Development] albino71:
Which Amer Bravox? I've tried 1.3 and 1.4, but to short to say anything about battery use.

I'm switching ROMs fast and then staying with one for a few days. Flash addict :p

[Desire Android Development] Arthur Hucksake:

But now switched to this rom, and it seems pretty even so i'll stick with this.
[Desire Android Development] albino71:

So what's your verdict on the Sparta 1.3 ROM then? Anything to say about battery use yet?

Did you flash the other kernel like me and robbiekhan?
[Desire Android Development] HüskerDü:
Battery & Comments

Best battery life I've had so far, very very good. I installed richardtrip kernel MCR UVOC. :D

Also very responsive and clean.

Only problem I have is with gmail syncronization, it doesn't update correctly. Bu I don't know from what it depends. Kernel ? ROM ? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
MCR Kernel. Its the only stable for r3.1 so far.

Playing around with it, but I don't want to release a version which makes your battery to a cooking area and also the camera driver thing bugs me.

I gave it to alternate where I bought it and it took 4 weeks to get it back..

All desires will be repaired, they don't change it here in Germany.

That really sucks. But since it took 4 weeks alternate gave me a new one because it was still not repaired..!

Thx :)

I will look into it.

I installed both, yet I am presented with the black keyboard. I "ticked" keyboard settings to IME mod, too... =(

I also rebooted the phone =( What am I doing wrong?

Thanks. I am testing some launchers, if I find a good one it will be added :)

Yes just install the HTC Keyboard or maybe even better the modified HTC Keyboard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624416

After installing it go to your settings and enable it.

To select it just press and hold on a text field and select it in the options there. There you will find the keyboard.

( Howto in German )

HTC Keyboard is not included because this is a lite version. :)

Comments are working fine here, maybe a temporary server thing.

Live wallpaper is working just install some live wallpapers.

I don't because this is a lite version :-)

We had the sd card thing before. Just uncheck the "Ask" checkbox in the PC Connection settings.

Is this app working for you:

Hi Folks

Look time browser of the forums...

This rom sounds like just the ticket for me

Just a quick question though

I'm not actually that interested in the apps2sd stuff (as i dont install that many apps anyway and froyo is coming soon)

My big reason for wanting this was to remove the HTC sense (all about vanilla now -- getting rid of the bulk -- nothing wrong with sense just wanna chance i guess)

Anyway my question

In order to use your ROM do i have to format my SD card for the apps2sd even though I dont really want to use that? (or can I just use any standard SD card? and drop the zip onto it ?)

In regard to applying the ROM do i need to wipe first?

(I've rooted my phone and applied the default image during the process and i've not touched it since so i'm a bit confused)

Thanks folks
[Desire Android Development] 7pellc:
Could we have face book sync back in the next release please?

Is it possible to still have no sense but incorporate face book for sync into the people app. I miss it.

[Desire Android Development] Androhyp:
Hi, this rom seems to be the best one ! Just a question, maybe sound absurd but..

Should I put the swap at 0 et the EXT at 512 ?

Should EXT2 to EXT3 and EXT3 to EXT4 ?

Thanks, and excuse my english :)
[Desire Android Development] tampiss:
The ROM seems stable so far - thank you.

I am having only one trouble. When the display is on and I try to turn it off with power button - it does not react. When the display is turned off and I push the power button, I get to the locked screen - when pushing power button on/off the display turns on/off as it has to, yet if I unlock the device and try to push the power button again, it does not react to turn the display off.

Any hints?

Thank you, tampiss
[Desire Android Development] angeloc92:
yeeeeeaaaah i found a bug, try to put the phone in flight mode! tell me what happens :D mine doesn't. I flashed and wiped all 2 times :D

anyway good work pays, really good work, i love this rom, i changed only the launcher (launcher pro), and now it looks almost perfect

you can say that again..

and btw, adw launcher is pretty good.

[Desire Android Development] orgasmatrond:

[Desire Android Development] teitiel:
I dont use A2SD, so I should't have to wipe Ext Partition?
[Desire Android Development] orgasmatrond:
That's true. But my theory seems to be correct, though. I backed ut the FAT part, repartitioned, restored, wiped (data, cache, dalvik), and flashed, and it worked. :)
[Desire Android Development] vanja:
I like this ROM, it has a great potential but...

Wallpaper cannot be changed

Except Maps, no Live Wallpapers

Personally, not good selection of removed apps (need PDF Reader, QuickOffice)

Custom bravo-keypad.kl (for waking up with front keys) doesn't stick

etc
[Desire Android Development] andreadj:
...yes, bootloops are solved with blank SD.

looking at logcat it seams it tries to do something with uninstalled apps on the fat partition: with a fresh wipe install (excepted fat partition) logcat shows actions on these files, but I can't tell what, maybe it's just indexing.

I'll try do erase the app folder (could have done before posting, yesss....) and post back

EDIT:

nope...reflashed....with and without .apks on fat.....no more bootloops btw...I had an SD coming from a G1, using swap. now I removed the swap and no more bootloops...for the moment.

Probably it's a typical user problem :-P

I love this rom and my desire too, to me it's the best one for the moment
[Desire Android Development] vanja:
I jumped the gun :)

Wallpaper *can* be changed. But not on first boot. Nice thing is that the stock lockscreen uses the same background. Good job, PaY87!!!

bravo-keypad.kl *does* stick. I forgot to mount /system before pushing.

Re: PDF Viewer and QuickOffice. I used the ones from Paul's r3 ROM. Couldn't install, but managed to push them to /system/data. They run normally but when I try to open a file, they both crash. Does anybody know where can I download them to work properly on this ROM?

Thanks

BTW, sticking with this ROM. IMHO, this is the best combination between vanilla android and Sense-fied UI (hated that win3.11 white top bar on vanilla android) :)

[EDIT: PDF Viewer and QuickOffice needed libpdfreader.so in /system/lib. Works fine now. BEST ROM, no need for Froyo now :)]

EDIT: Donated 5$. Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] akurei:
I wonder where I could get that HTC "clock" app (the one with Alarm, Countdown, Stopwatch) from... Can somebody point me in the right direction?
[Desire Android Development] vanja:
Try extracting it from a ROM that has it (Modaco r1-3 comes to mind). I pretty much had always luck doing it this way. Only thing you need to keep in mind is that you will probably have to push that file to /system/data using adb as it cannot be installed the usual way.

Also, please be aware that you cannot use this Desk Clock (that's the name) as an alarm clock app. You will not be able to turn the alarm off as it is integrated into HTC lock screen (which is not present in this ROM). Or install HTC Lock screen as well and you'll regain the full functionality.
[Desire Android Development] akurei:
Thanks for the reply, vanja!

You mean the "slide down" lockscreen? Because I do not like the "slide down" lockscreen.

Looks like I will have to look for another Alarm clock and countdown "app". Any recommendations?
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Thx!

Try wiping with this improved recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=689778

yes default calendar is included :)

If you disable A2SD for yourself you don't need a EXT drive. If you just flash it be sure to have a EXT drive ;)

Thanks this donation put a smile on my face!

First donation so far :p

If you install the default one don't use it as alarm clock.

This does not work without bugs with vanilla lockscreen ;)

Sorry no hints, are you sure your power button is okay?

Flightmode is working here.. :)

I added the Facebook Sync option please try if everything is okay in v1.1

[Desire Android Development] Tiger33:
umm..

I'm still a little confused

at the moment i'e got 3 SD cards

one which is a gold card

one which is a normal SD card with data on it

and another new SD card.

in regard to this apps2sd stuff - i'm not really too fussed about getting this working as i dont use that many apps anyawy but i like everything else in this rom.

do i still need to do all this EXT stuff (which i actually dont understand)

i.e say i want to use my new sd card (8gb class 6) with the phone does it need preformatting before hand or is that all taken care of with the recovery ?
[Desire Android Development] kie777:
hi guys, i tried this rom in the last two days, battery live was impressive i guess but i have random reboot problem.

When i flashed it for the first time, the random reboot happenned about 5-6 times, after all gmail account set up and synced the trouble gone. But the trouble came back again everytime i used apps that sync data.

After few hours i noticed that it has problem syncing to gmail. I tried to reflash and the problem stayed. What i did wrong? i used modaco custom recovery,wipe everything except wipe sd (didn't think that i need to because i didn't use A2SD)
[Desire Android Development] akurei:
You basically boot into recovery (via Paul's tools) and select "Partition sdcard" -> "Partition SD".

Use like 128MB swap 512 MB ext and the rest for FAT32.

Then put the ROM on the newly formatted FAT32 partition (preferably via external cardreader (which means: take the card out of the phone and use a card reader to put the ROM.zip on the FAT32 Partition, then put the card back into your phone)).

After you put the ROM on the FAT32 partition boot again into recovery mode, WIPE all cache stuff (the first 4 selectable items) and then install the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] akurei:
You mean at all? For ALL your ROMs? If so: Sad that I am the only one.

I won't install it. Looking for some alternative though =/ Because I really liked that "app" on the "stock" ROM.

Meh facebook and stock mail =/
[Desire Android Development] Tiger33:
Wow great explanation

Could I use this recovery?

[Recovery] AM Desire Recovery v1 [27th May] via PC only

(I already rooted using a rooting and debranding guide a while go - windows - all is working great)

So let me get this right then

I load up the recovery - wipe then

Use like 128MB swap 512 MB ext and the rest for FAT32.

load back into recovery

put the rom on the memory card (anywhere on the card) and flash?
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
For the Desire ROMs I got 2 donations so far :-)

But I don't do this for money..

Its fun, but of course money gives you always a little boost when you are tired of wiping your device again and again. :)
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Set swap to 0 because you don't need it.

Yes use the new improved recovery. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Tiger33:
Thanks alot

Should I format my sd card first to remove the data and then put it in the phone to do the swap,ext stuff

or does the process of swap,ext remove all data from the card anyway?
[Desire Android Development] PaY87:
Repartition your sd card and wipe all data and then flash your rom, you can do this all in recovery.

If you flash a new rom you just have to wipe all.

You do the partition just once.

But use the improved recovery and not the one by Paul because wipe ext is not working right there.
[Desire Android Development] Tiger33:
flashing now...
[Desire Android Development] Tiger33:
Ok flash complete....

all seems good in the world so far !

will report back -

thank you very much folks
[Desire Android Development] akurei:
Of course you don't. I am not developing my "open source" stuff for money either. Still: If you do a good job then the least one can do is to buy you a sixpack of beer or some cups of coffee if you prefer ;)

Sorry, haven't been up to date with this. I am still using the "old fashioned, hours after successful first root" method. Still works pretty good though ;)
