help newbie

Hi everyone

I am a newbie, to the world of android.

My htc desire a183 from telstra (australia) is arriving soon, been reading about customs roms and the bloatware that comes with the phone. Confused at to what to do.

Look forward to your opinions.

I was wondering if someone could please post a link for straight forward instructions on how to:

prepare my phone eg root and flash and put the leedroid rom with frodo ads2

Cheers

greatly appreciated

No, I have made the transparent pull down notifacation blind a bit darker ;)
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Its a security fearture in all HTC roms chris
[Desire Android Development] lept0n:
Hi Lee! There is no need to flash the A2SD+ optional addon for 1.8c, it is included in already, right ?
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Yes there are 2 versions, the A2SD+ version has it included ;)
[Desire Android Development] plichtousek:
any mirror for froyo ap2sd version, please?
[Desire Android Development] Xinot:
Well it's OPTIONAL ADD-ON so ...
[Desire Android Development] Ragingsheep:
Getting endless bootloop. Any help on how to fix it?
[Desire Android Development] scouseingib:
Well never did a wipe on install. The transparrent blind never worked. So just done the whole expresso install as I like the way the whole expresso looks like. And Lee what is the thing called 'clear default' looks like it related to clearing scence setting and cache. But bar that yea it seems ok after no wipe.
[Desire Android Development] MrCyrus:
My SMS app doesn't use facebook images for contacts (no problem in dialer) in LeeDroid releases, any clues how to fix this?

Lockscreen - Stock vanila on Leedroid

I have a question Leedroid if you could give the possibility to choose your ROM lockscreen the Stock vanila. This is often the HTC itself unlocks in your pocket, which brings me to an enormous anger.

However, xda tutorial on how to decorate this change does not work with your rom (block your phone and you need to do wipe).

Please think about it, many people that are very life easier.

Sorry for my English.

Anybody else noticed a huge drop I'm linpack score
[Desire Android Development] siliconaddict:
Same issues with 1.8c at first, corrected it by following the proper upgrade procedure:

1. Perform a backup of your device (Titanium backup, nandroid backup, MyBackup Pro backup etc., whatever is required)

2. Power off and reboot into the custom recovery (ClockWorkMod etc.)

3. Do a full wipe (also battery stats)

4. Install the new ROM

5. Reboot and let the new ROM install itself fully (this will take a few minutes, don't panic if nothing seems to happen)

6. Power off and reboot into the custom recovery once again

7. Install any add-ons like fancy battery, EspressoMod for LeeDrOiD etc., whatever you need/want

8. Reboot and let the new add-on install itself (this may take a few minutes, don't panic if nothing seems to happen)

9. Reboot

10. Perform a restore of your data etc. if required

Don't panic if it seems to be stuck in the bit droid or android boot screen and nothing seems to be happening, even if it's up to 5 minutes, after a while the installation will continue, no worries.

It's all so simple :D
[Desire Android Development] Ascenca83:
Hi

Downloaded 1.8c too, but only for seeding purposes (80kb/s). Its not much, but I hope it helps!

Is there someone who can help me with my problem on 1.8b with the android.process.acore prosess being stuck at 100% cpu (launcher pro process)?

Thanks again.

Ascenca
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Since I use Launcherpro can I still access these widgets?
[Desire Android Development] Ascenca83:
As far ai I know only the android widgets and other 3rd party widgets. All HTC widgets are not available (or I dont know the hack for it if there is one).

Ascenca
[Desire Android Development] Milamber:
Ahh well! Not too worry, you got any drocap2 screenshots you can share of what these widgets look like?
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Has anyone actually still the problem that is sometimes simply disappeared after a reboot ne quantity Widgets? If I now happened a few times and had no real plan is why it so.
[Desire Android Development] BrightSilence:
For those interested, I updated the "EspressoMod for LeeDrOiD ala BrightSilence" to v1.1. It now retains the drag and drop in helicopter view of Sense.

Features now include:

BlackEspressoMod

TransparentNotificationPullDown

ExpressoBar ala Zaphyr

Circle Battery Version C

New bootscreen Android + HTC + Nexus animation

Original HTC boot sound (Fair warning: I'm one of the few who likes this. It can easily be removed from the zip, just delete android_audio.mp3 from data/local)

Homescreen Drag and Drop in helicopter view is retained!

Screenshots and download here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7675790

I also added install instructions for those confused with how to use it.

Thanks again to Lee for building by far the best ROMfor the Desire and a great base for the modifications in this mod!
[Desire Android Development] splint84:
Hi guys,

Just installed 1.8c and not sure hwo to get A2SD+ working, I formatted the sd card using rom manger to have a 512mb ext3 partition. I then proceeded to install the following rom LeeDrOiD V1.8c with A2SD+ and finally updated the radio.

After the phone booted (seems a fair bit longer than 1.8b?) I installed an app from the market place and it installed onto the phone memory not to the ext partition as expected? Am I misunderstanding something or missing a step? any help would be appreciated!

The matters are as Instaliert but I've put in the widget bar is not more to the widget inside it at the desk, so I must things always uninstall and reinstall, that is really very time consuming and nerve, has anyone an idea what can the Sun. Others happened. Snowstorm of the widgets / Switcher Pro / MortPlayer

Yes, using richard tripps patch, you will need openVPN settings from the market

Bug in the date-format

Hello Lee,

in the Stock-Rom is a bug with the date-format. Also in Your almost perfect Rom.

This bug is new in 2.2. The old 2.1 worked perfect at this point.

If you use any other language then english, then many apps don't show the weekday (Son, Mon, Tue) but only a number (1=Son, 2=Mon, 3=Tue etc.)

It's a error in the SimpleDateFormat localization.

Perhaps You know, which file I have to change, to get the correct date-format ?

Thanks you very much :-)

Just sorting out a few issued with my hdd atm. Will have a look into it today
[Desire Android Development] BrightSilence:
The mod should work on all Froyo Sense ROM's. I haven't tested anything though. I will only test new releases on the best ROM. And the best would be LeeDrOiD. Unfortunately I just don't have time to test anything else.

Try at your own risk, but if it works, could you report back in the EspressoMod for LeeDrOiD ala BrightSilence topic? I'll add it to a list of ROM's that it's reported to work on.

But please be sane: DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST! :) And enjoy ofcourse!
[Desire Android Development] ChalleMan:
Thanks Lee!

Good job, the last version works really great for me!
[Desire Android Development] MatthiasX:

I have 1.8c installed.

Why many apps do not show as Installed in the Market app? For example Google Search. If they are not listed as installed, then they will also not be listed for updates.

When I check Google Search version installed it shows 1.0. On the market there is version 1.1.0, which shows for "Install", not "Update".
[Desire Android Development] Peikko:
How can I delete the awfull boot sound? Is there a file in the zip which can just be removed?

Test report 18c

Hi Lee, thx for the next Level :) Just stay with A2SD+, death to the noobs ;)

I waited till 1.8c and flashed directly from 1.6b.

No full wipe only dalvik cache wipe.

Tested around 330 apps so far.

Including scripting environments.

Only minor issues so far:

1. Widgets and Icons appeared twice. Just trash bin the 2nd one.

2. 4 apps has to be reinstalled.

3. Some FCs, but thats life. You cant have everything.

A lot of people complaining about the battery life. Come on people, you have an 1GHZ mini computer in your hand !!! And you playing all the day with it. Just buy a 2nd or even a 3rd battery if you are afraid to get lost in the city.

Lee,... thx again.

Remove android_audio.mp3 from data/local. You can do this after install too if you have root explorer or something like it.
[Desire Android Development] sonyboypatrick:
just delete android_audio.mp3 in data/local ;)

Try this:

Before you flash, backup you rom. Wipe everything. Restore you rom. Flash to new version.

[Desire Android Development] mackxx:
I have flashed the new version 1.8c and then tried to recover all my programs and data with the backup tool from the rom manager.

The problem is that it actually backuped everything so the current version is 1.4, the one I had before flashing to 1.8c.

I had made it always this way with previous versions, is this procedure correct? Or has anything changed with the new roms?

Thanks for response
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
The rom manager backup is a full nandroid backup (the entire system) you need to use something like titanium or my backup
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Have you changed the setting im mod install location from auto?
[Desire Android Development] Lonedogg:
:)thanks, I've now installed the 1.8c, we'll see how the battery will be.

Meanwhile, I test with your settings SetCpu.

At present, loads the phone, directly on the AC.

Maybe it takes a little to blame the provider, O2, compared to T-Mobile

It had itself off, hope the best.;)
[Desire Android Development] mackxx:
No I did not change it. Do I have to change it to auto?
[Desire Android Development] LeeDroid:
Should be set to auto anyway?
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Have change it from auto to 2 external. Think this is right? I will see the widgets in market as installe but on phone the message "problem with widget " so i must after every reboot uninstall and reinstall
[Desire Android Development] mackxx:
Oh the post from the switch to auto wasn't a respond to mine. I have not realized it :D

Do you have any favourite? Titanium or my backup? Any suggestions or expreiences?

Thanks for your support
[Desire Android Development] psed007:
If you are using A2SD+ leave it on auto. And goto installed apps and move everything from sd to phone, otherwise you will not get a balanced internal - ext3 usage.
[Desire Android Development] aCx85:
Hey guys quick question...

After installing a2sd= do I need to change any thing in modsinstalllocation for it to work proiperly and put all my apps on my SD card?

Like put the setting at external or internal or Auto?

Currently its at Auto.

On Quick System info

I have 148mb Internal storage with 117mb Free
[Desire Android Development] psed007:
If you have 200+ apps installed it is a pain anyway. But titanium is better.

[Desire Android Development] psed007:
Forget the htc widgets ! I've red that there are no new HTC widgets for desire. Maybe I'am wrong.
[Desire Android Development] aCx85:
Im not sure if I understand this dont you want all yours apps on the SD card?

I currently just setup a2sd and my modinstalllocation is @ Auto. Dont I want all my apps & games On External so uses my SD storage and not internal or auto does that all for you.

Are you saying I have to do something else for this to functional properly?

currently at 117 free mb internal

with a 512 EXT3

SD card total 6.92GB and 6.87 Free

A2SD storage 457 FRee: 344MB

Internal 148MB Free:117MB

Currently If I download apps & games are they going to the right place which is my SD card?
[Desire Android Development] psed007:
Ok, the native A2SD puts apps on the SD. A2SD+ also but in the ext3 partition. A part of the app will be stored in the internal memory anyway. But if you use only A2SD+ this amount is smaller. So just put it on auto and move every app that you might have on sd to the phone.

With titanium Backup, what do i have to backup so that i can flash it to 1.8c and then have al my data saved?

Wrong tun.ko in 1.8c?

First of all, great release. Running since this morning and now I can download and install the HTC widgets :-)

Only thing I found is that it seems like the tun.ko module is for wrong kernel.

If I execute the following in a shell:

sh-3.2# insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

I get:

insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

insmod: can't insert '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko': invalid module format

dmesg gives:

tun: version magic '2.6.29-82821fb5 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

I notice that the tun.ko module in the 1.8c release is from August first but the one in the 1.8a release is from August 12.

I am trying to get VPNC to work, which it did for release 1.8a but not since that :-(
