I'm aware this may not be the perfect place to ask, but it relates to Lee 1.8B and 1.9 so I guess...

I have radio .08 and haven't installed .20

My first question is - do I need to install .20 for 1.9 or greater? Everything seems to work - (720p recording seems reliable)

My big question is:

I understand I should do a full wipe and reimage. OK.

I promise I have done a lot of searching but can't find a clear statement on how to backup, full wipe and then restore apps and settings to 1.9. Specifically the 1.9 post indicates I need ext3 but rom manager only creates ext2 and everyone seems to just accept that "upgrade to ext3" is enough instructions. I know it might involve gparted on a recovery CD, or might involve something called AmonRA (But will that hurt clockwork recovery that I have installed?)

SO,

a) do I need EXT3 or will ext2 work?

b) What's the recommended backup/restore strategy - WHAT chould I restore from a backup (using titanium backup for example). I'd hate to restore the stuff that a full wipe was intended to clear out!

Cheers - Not dumb, but a noob to this.

[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Hi mate,

a) If you used rom manager to partition then it should work. When I did mine it didnt say if it was EXT 2 or 3 but it works

b) To be honest I never restore apps, just because I prefer knowing they are getting installed to the right place. It doesnt take long to install my apps manually, but thats my personal choice.

When your backing up Im sure you get to choose what to back up so you'd probably want contacts/sms/mms/apps

I dont think restoring settings is always a good idea as some ROMS my react differently

Default Android Lock

Hi...first I am thankful for this wonderful ROM:p...fast and stable...I like default android lock..How can I enable it and disable HTC sense lock...

[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Take htclockscreen out of system/app and reflash the rom. no need to wipe

anyone tried installing swype and does it work? :D
[Desire Android Development] yekko:
Swype is working for me:)
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
No issue with swype here! Although I have just started using the droid 2 multitouch keyboard from the themes and apps thread. V impressive!
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Anyone cheked out font changer from the" themes and apps" thread?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
Why would swype not work?

Anyway I am finding SwiftKey in the market fantastic at the moment, it tries to predict your next word for you, based on what you say in the past and therefore saves your screen touches (and therefore time).
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
just went through the thread about stock droid 2 keyboard,

it looks pretty neato and very useful,

any chance adding that into the next release?
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
Please don't this rom has enough "extras" already, there is nothing worse than a good dev filling their roms up with crap (no offence intended).
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Lol. I had considered it as a replacement for the stock android keyboard, although the language support is a little lacking
[Desire Android Development] shepscape:
Help!!

I have an HTC desire that I flashed with 1.8b a couple of weeks ago. Everything was fine until Tuesday this week.... at which point, my phone just stopped connecting to the network.

I get the "your sim does not allow a connection to this network" message. The sim, of course, works fine in other phones... and no other sim works in my HTC. To my mind, this pretty much rules out sim issues.

When I had the opportunity (last night) I flashed 1.9 and the new radio. Same message and same issue.

I called O2 (my network provider) because at this point I was worried about my phone being IMEI blacklisted or something... but they said everything looked fine.. and just to be sure, they re-registered my IMEI.

Same result.

I'm pulling my hair out. I've read other similar threads and this seems to be a relatively common problem. Does anyone here have any ideas how to solve it? I have no phone at the moment and that's a real problem...

Thanks,

Shep
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
try flashing a new rom, one that uses a different base to see if that makes a difference.
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
alright then, the droid multi-touch keyboard just looked almost exactly like the old latinme one, but way much better, so I thought it could replace it without adding extra files. But just as Lee pointed out, it doesn support many languages yet, just the US English and Espanol. so it may be better to use it as a replacement when it does support many languages in the near future.
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Hello ! I have some noob questions..I just moved from the winmo world and am interested in flashing this custom rom (will root tonight probably)..

1)How stable is this rom? Any1 found anything not working? (video, bluetooth e.g) ?

2)Since i understand we cannot use the updater,otherwise we destroy the root, is there any way to update the rom improvements the author makes? or is it like winmo and we have to reflash a whole updated rom to get the update?

3) i did not see any guide as how to flash new radio , any1 willing to share his knowledge?

Thanks for taking the time to read this..
[Desire Android Development] talkiet:
I _KNOW_ it saw a full wipe is recommended... I have taken a full titanium backup.

However, can I just try a flash of 1.9 over top of 1.8b and see what happens? If I'm not mistaken, then if I do a factory reset from within whatever mess of a system I have then, I should end up with a clean 1.9 to start with... Right?

(Just upgraded to .20 radio in prep)

Cheers - N
[Desire Android Development] karmatt:
1. I havnt had any problems with anything with this rom, and there isnt any know issues.

2. Reflash the whole rom is the current only way

3. You flash radio like you flash roms, put the new radio on the SD card and boot into recovery and select it.

swype

the swype keyboard is the best... i cant see wy you would use the droid x multi touch over it... if it gets the mic button and working correctly its a no brainer..
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
I love swype but I am all for testing new things, typing in landscape with 2 fingers is rather appealing, no doubt I will return to swype
[Desire Android Development] Rik_UK:
Just wondering if anyone here has had this issue?

Before I rooted I only ever had one message advising I was low on disc space. I've now rooted using unrevoked and installed the latest LeeDrOiD 1.9 with A2SD and I have constantly got the low disc space message. I have changed the modinstalllocation to the SD card and transferred every app it will let me transfer to the card. But I only have 9.08MB free on the phone?? Any ideas what I can do to free up more space?
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Use A2SD+ instead.

The Froyo A2SD still uses intenral space. Most people here prefer A2SD+. For more info read the first page :)

Or if you picked the A2SD+ file to start with make sure you have an EXT3 partition (use ROM Manager) and leave MOD Install to 0 Auto
[Desire Android Development] Rik_UK:
If I want to install the A2SD+ version of the ROM will I need to do a full wipe? Then reflash any custom themes (espressoMod, font changer etc). And would a titanium backup restore properly with the move from A2SD to A2SD+?

Sorry about all the questions, this is my first root. :S
[Desire Android Development] black818pro:
Chinese handwriting?

Just flash the v1.9 and everything seems work well.

As I need to use Chinese handwriting input, i wonder if there anyway to include the handwriting input method?

I found that there's option in the Touch Input (under Language and Keyboard). However, can't use this during input?
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Try it without a wipe.

However, it's not recommened to restore a backup after changing ROMs. Re-install all your apps from the market if you have to do a wipe.

Anything else is just asking for trouble... IMO

Iam getting error in installation of many games like nfs shift , totemo lite , and iron sight. also nimbuzz is not installing . what could be wrong ?

iam using leedroid froyo a2sd v1.9
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Try setting install location to" phone"
[Desire Android Development] fueled:
Yea after setting the install location to phone , games are installing but nfs shift is 38+ mb game and is eating up phone memory, and after installing when i try to move it to sdcard , it only moves some kbs of it which means the whole game is still on phone memory.
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Is there any way to dump my current rom (non rooted yet and with OTA froyo) so i can reflash it back on right after i root the phone, in the event that no custom ROM suits me? :S
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
as soon as you put a custom recovery on your phone run "nandroid" this take an image of your rom as it is at the time, you can restore it if you need too, however I seriously doubt you will want to go back to stock after trying custom roms, they are a million times better.
[Desire Android Development] dieselboy:
For some reason my reception is poor now with this rom. I have flashed the new radio a while ago.

Any suggestions?

Battery life is poor too so I wonder if this is why?!
[Desire Android Development] TW1954:
Lee,

Have not used font changer, but are thinking of having a play. What font did you try in your screen shot?

[Desire Android Development] hoppi05:

has anyone found certain apps really slowing there phones down wiht apsd+? a collegue of mine has had to removed 1.8b because his phone became unusable with lag for no particular reason? could this be bue to the cache been on the sd?

once again cheers lee your hard work is appreciated!!
[Desire Android Development] h0lde:
can i also remove it safely without reflashing? just removing from /app/? will try it later but would safe me some time ;)
[Desire Android Development] hoppi05:
guys i am thinking of upgrading to a 16gb class 6 sd card but when i was playing with the phone the other day i noticed it would not boot without the sd card in? is this because off apsd+ and the cache been on there?

also if i buy my new card and put it in the phone will it boot? i am guessing not as it did not without my currenct card in?

can i simple copy the contents of my old sd card to the new one on the pc?

or do i need to reflash the rom with the new card in and then use clockwork to partitian the card as before? then copy my content onto the card and use bkup for apps?

any help appreciated guys....

Backup surgem titanium, full wipe,change SD, parttion it, restore ur Backup.
[Desire Android Development] slim19198:
A2SD transfer the easy way for users

1 - create a nandroid backup of everything (this includes the A2SD ext partition)

2 - backup EVERYTHING from the mem card to your pc!

3 - insert new mem card

4 - run rom manager (download it from the market if you have to!)

5 - partition the new card with rom manager (creating an ext partition as well)

6 - Copy everything from the pc BACK to the NEW card!!!!

7 - Restore the nandroid backup!!!!!!!!!

You now have the phone back to the exact state you started with but with a different memory card installed!
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Can't i just slam my SD in the pc card reader andmake a backup of it with a program like acronis true image home and then restore data,partitions e.t.c to the new SD?
[Desire Android Development] elknipso:
can you have a Super Circle Battery d version of the mod to create just the battery exchange symbol, not even the other notification icon etc?
[Desire Android Development] kojoseph:
this gonna be very very silly request I know but can't help it.

guys!I am desperately need this apk file " Appbrain.apk " or anyone can download from Market,can you please share that apk file or I don't know it's not legal or not to ask but the file is free as everyone knows.

And again,please,can you add " shootme " screen capture app in your coming roms or can I have it?

Market killing me and Market enabler doesn't make a different.I already tried.

thank you all!
[Desire Android Development] dieselboy:
I reflashed radio and now battery drain is 10x better. After 2 hours I would be down to 95% battery, but now even after 2 hours it's still on 100%. This is with sync and some texting.

I hope this has fixed all of my probs, because I used to get 2 days from the phone with use and over this weekend i couldnt get 1 full day!

Anyone thats having battery issues, please test reflashing the radio!
[Desire Android Development] yekko:
You can do it by yourself:) change the .png pictures in the framework-res.apk
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
have a look on 4shared.com and download the apk you want on to ur sd :)
[Desire Android Development] bobbenedetti:
I just upgraded to an 8GB CL6 card and there was a noticeable i8mprovement overt he CL2 card that came with the phone. So far 8GB is enough for me. When it is not I will start looking for a 16Gb CL10 card..still pretty expensive.

I had trouble partitioning the phone with ROM Manager and Recovery so I used Bootitng to partition he new card 7.2 gigs FAT32 and the balance Linux 83h. Then I used Acronis Disk Manager to format the linux partition ext3. Cumbersome perhaps but it worked.
[Desire Android Development] Rosi1337:
Rom Manager reboot into recovery does not work, switch manually into recovery mode by pressing volume down on boot works only.
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
HI Lee,

I, like everyone else on here is loving your work, personally I like the small mods like the icons and while there's no way I'm gonna a jump ship I've noticed that others are achieving much faster speeds, the latest being the recently released djdroyd 1.3. With people reporting 45 on linpack, that's more than an eclair desires worth more than your already brilliant Rom...

It's not a criticism bud just maybe something to consider and aim towards as we know its possible

[Desire Android Development] mintvilla:
has anyone noticed ram issues with this rom? when i first boot up i only get 148mb free rom, now i just loaded up defrosts rom and that i get over 300 free ram when i first boot up, and because of it ive been having some serious slow downs with the phone,
[Desire Android Development] elknipso:
What files should I just swap and where? Is this also possible with an already installed ROM or do I need it again then flash over it?
[Desire Android Development] dieselboy:
Thats nice thanks for that :)
[Desire Android Development] MaelXca:
Hey all,

New to Android, long time WinMo user, but had to make the jump to the Desire & HSPA.

Here's the thing.

I rooted the phone easily enough and all seems good on that end.

Installed ROM Manager to partition the SD, but when I try I get a triangle with a yellow exclamation mark which just sits there.

Have to pull the battery to reboot, then ROM manager tells me there was a recovery error.

I can manually get into boot loader, and have flashed the radio already. Again, all seems good.

I want to flash LeeDroid 1.9 with A2SD+, but cannot format card due to ROM Manager issue.

Is there any other way to do this without installing the SDK tools? Or should I just go with the normal A2SD version of the ROM.

Thanks for the help...

Mael
[Desire Android Development] tremblingwater:
About that yellow triangle,

Try going into Rom Manager and installing one of the older recoveries. Once you've done that, reinstall the latest. Apparently its some bug, it happened to me and i read about it somewhere.

See if that sorts out that part of your problem.
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Did you spot the difference???

Defrost = "generic android" with a rom size of around 70meg

LeeDrOiD = Android + HTC Sense with a rom size of 160meg
[Desire Android Development] Stretlow:
Good to hear matey
[Desire Android Development] MaelXca:
What older recoveries? My Desire is from Telus and I was under the impression that I should not use ROM Manager recoveries...

What would be cool is if someone can create an image of an empty pre-formatted card with Acronis or Ghost. Then it can be used to partition any card at will. If this is even possible of course.

Is there any way to partition the card from HBoot/Clockworkmod recovery?

Thanks...
[Desire Android Development] chris2busy:
Well..looks like the SLCD and amoled displays on desire look VERY much alike..got a dead desire till i try the black screen fix(should have NEVER done the ota froyo update dammit)..just lost like 10 years.
[Desire Android Development] mintvilla:
yh i did, since ive reflashed the rom it actually seems better, the phone was having serious slow downs, down to 21mb of free space, now on boot up am havin over 200mb free, which runs down to around 100 and its fine now, so i dunno whats up.
[Desire Android Development] xda_naveen:
signed zip file..

Hi DjLukeW Thankyou for the reply.....:) I removed the htclockscreen and created new zip file and tried to reflash it but I was not successful in flashing. I think the zip file I have created is not signed. If so how can I create signed zip file if I modified the orginal zip content..
[Desire Android Development] vick82sydney:
yeah true i am for trying all also... but yeah your right it is good for landscape.

is there any way to make it witch auto to the milti touch keyboard in landscape?
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
That could be handy but not sure how easy it would be to implement the idea, still using it atm ;)

Internal Memory

I have installed this ROM with A2SD+ add-on with 512MB ext3 partition. When I first started my ROM the initial memory was 130MB.When I installed some applications such as compass & notes from Market there is no change in the internal memory. But when I have installed Navigon it consumed around 18MB of my internal memory.Why some applications consume internal memory while some applications does not?Can any experts here help me in solving this internal memory issue...
[Desire Android Development] stm999999999:
Are you sure you have to get a signed rom? Perhaps it is a problem with your zip programm:

I use WinRAR, there I can delete a file in the zip w/o unpacking/repacking. And if I add something I use the option "only save" with no compression. All works fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
I use WinRar. Right click zip file, open with Winrar. Locate file, hit delete button and job done. It automatically resignes and zips the file.

Apps still need internal memory, some more than others. Something to do with coding I believe

When I used the sms widget the first time, it asked me which sms app to use: the htc app or the vanilla android one. I chose the htc messages app, but now I want to try the stock app. Where can I change the chosen app?
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
Go into applications in settings find the stock messages and clear defaults
[Desire Android Development] vick82sydney:
hi lee I think I asked this before but got no answer from anyone. Would it make any difference if I got a san disk extreme sd card that says up to 30MB	per sec . Currently using a cheaper class 6 one
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Settings > Applications > All

Find the message app and click clear defaults. then next time itll ask you to choose again
[Desire Android Development] masaru.tomimitsu:
False advertisement about asian languages?

Fully aware that multilanguage support can never really interest

math-minded inventive-creative people

and that I can never, by definition, share with lots of others my language environment problem, because it's one of "minor" languages, not even variant of English nor European languages, but JAPANESE.

I never succeeded (even after wiping totally) to run the system in Japanese. Not even able to see the choice in the list of available languages. :(

If the word "supported" means merely the ability to display in Japanese using the default Android fonts, not only it's not worth advertising but also this is only partially true for genuine Japanese users, because it uses Chinese font to display Japanese text (You have to search for "DroidSansJapanese.ttf" and find a way to put it under /system/fonts to really correctly display Japanese text). And you can not input in Japanese neither (for that you install Japanese IME application from Market).

Having a system known to be Linux based which doesn't even run quite multilingually is just outrageous :mad: (what a brutal removal surgery!) even though I admet it's far better than the default HTC + Orange sold in France in the sense that we have ROOT access to system.

But the LeeDroid Mod ROM is really fast and attractive :). Can it only integrate the true multilingual capability as it's

advertised in the thread top

?

I notably compared LeeDroid with NexTSense.

:confused:

Thanks in advance for any further consideration and of course no offense is meant.
[Desire Android Development] loedrus:
I already tried that. There are no defaults to clear?! Perhaps i chose the wrong app but I am pretty sure I didn't. However, if I tap the widget, the htc app opens, exactly as before...
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
I thought all class 6 sDcards were rated around 30mb/sec? I guess if your using it to watch high definition videos then a faster one would make sense, but class 6 should be fine. I believe there is a sdcard benchmark utility on the market, maybe see what results you get and compare with others?

[Desire Android Development] vick82sydney:
thanks for the response..

last i chekced class 2,4,6 were meant to be 2 MB,4 MB,6 MB per/sec .. might have changed but i did test transfering files when i for the card new before partitioning and it was stable around 7-8 MB write.... but only about 3 now after partitioning.. im just wondering if it helps with everything all round to get a card like this one that claims upto 30 MB/s ... like is there a limit to which the phone (htc desire) will bottleneck ?
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Well, I have a feeling that the swap file might make some kinda difference if you created one - not sure though. I think Lee mentioned setting it to zero if your using ROM Manager (see first post of the thread). Also ext3 can read faster I think... not 100% sure but this is what I understand to be true.
[Desire Android Development] vick82sydney:
yeah i always setup as recomended .... etx3 512, swap 0
