[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
there is some stuff added (look on the bottom of the apk/mods/Themes post)

It needs time to fill the post with 2.29 mods...as there is not so much as for builds 2.09 and 2.10 (most things can be used in 2.09 and 2.10) i added the post with my first rom which was based on 2.09 and i think its more than half year ago...you know....? will also work on some themes if i have time

So give that some time :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
thanks friend :)

actually the old mods listed there are confusing. since they are no longer valid, wont it be better to remove them? just a thought

take care :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..in next time i should clean it a bit :):);)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Oh ok.. so the kernel you gave me is the 'stock' kernel? Can you provide another ROM with a tested / verified kernel? I think it may be the RW System Overlay and / or overclocking that caused the problems.

Is it possible to just flash a new kernel without having to go through the whole flash and reinstall process?

BTW the wiki is looking great!!!

All, PLEASE remember to check out the Wiki and help out
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes...wiki is very good :)

The kernel that is posted as standard kernel in the wiki...should work good :) siberes svs version

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
@Droidbois. You can flash any kernel that is for sense roms. I'm currently running one of coutts. Flash just like any mod via recovery. Usual rule of nandroid backup first. Also would recommend battery stats wipe for a more accurate view of battery life. Apart from that no other wipe required. However, if you want to change cpu speeds, up or down, then you need Setcpu.

Having said all that you keep mentioning NOT wanting to overclock so would find a non oc kernel. Apart from the one Alex provided in the wiki I've not seen any others. Coutts is max 1190!
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Using ver 1.9 of this rom and i just noticed that all my downloads in the market are missing, they're still installed but they are not showing up under my apps, anyone?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
if you restored the apps with titanium Backup you must use the option (think its called) market doctor in tb

With My Backup from Market...i have all the apps linked in Market

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Actually they were there before, just disappeared today, which is weird, been using this rom 's version 1.9 since 1.9 came out, apps disappeared just today
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
maybe go to settings->Applications->manage->Market->Clear Settings and Data->reboot->check market->if not reboot one more

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
I definitely don't want overclock, I don't want to damage my phone or cause instability. It's too important for my job, and I'm running a risk enough with custom ROM's I know.

I can't see a kernel link in the wiki - I'm happy to add this if someone can post a link here.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
There must be a link to a non oc kernel in the link...but its an older kernel...

Anythere...as bashy said...you can also flash a new oc kernel with undervolt for better battery and set speed with set cpu to 998 mhz...so no oc :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
So basically I can find one of the kernels lying around somewhere and flash that? I have never looked in to kernel flashing before so I am not sure what the requirements are.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Basically you can flash any sense kernel (not aosp) you want...best are..siberes...richards...and coutts kernels...for have no probs the best are svs kernel's :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
done. thx for reminding, let's update the wiki to make it nice and clean.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
You guys seen this? Basically means if you use an EXT for apps only (as in a2sd+), then you don't have to, you can have the whole sd card as FAT32, flash any ROM, with or without a2sd+ (as a2sd+ script will only run if it sees EXT, otherwise nothing happens) and still enable all apps to be moved to SD! Nice :D

Obviously if you want data on sd as in data2sd, dat2ext, dat2whatever, reiserfs etc then you still need the EXT.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/move2sd-enabler-(root-only)/com.leinardi.setinstalllocation
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
its also inside the rom..look in spare parts :) (its the same option )

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
thx :):):):)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...maybe i have a solution for you...DearTanker give me some files to enable Chinese...if you want you can try...flash the rom and direct after (no reboot)

update-chs support-signed..reboot..and yo are done..should work

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Ohhhh yeah, lol! I haven't opened Spare Parts in ages!!!

So, why the need for a2sd+ then, what's the difference? I have a potential 1GB waiting to be used for FAT32...! (Although I have a 16GB card but hey, maybe one day I will need that 1GB!)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
because i think the most apps at this time not support the froyo a2sd (fat32)

maybe you can test a bit :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
@Alex will test because I read about this on XDA root apps part 2 article and that suggested it puts the move to sd option on all apps even if the dev hasn't enabled it,originally so just like A2SD + but without ext.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah :) please let me know your results :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
This option is there for ages even works with unrootes phone with only 1 sentence of ADB command, yet, it good to have an app to do that for ya, but doesn't help a lot since A2SD+ already moved the app to SD-ext and i'm still running out of storage.:(
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
Hey guys, after switching back to MCR r10 A2SD+,the phone is getting filled again pretty quickly,really thinking of coming back to Alex with data2sd,yet,my previous KingMax class10 16gb didn't work out.

So, wanna ask if anybody tried class10 card with Alex Rom? Would a better brand (Kingston/Transand) work? Or should I just go buy myself a class6? (I previously tried Alex 2.1 data2sd with a class 4 it's a bit slow)

Anyone got this issue?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thats why i think the future is still data2sd/ext/whatever... :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I read in data2sd threads of problems with class 10 cards.. but can´t say much to that...because i have non

You can try the old card + the speed update for 2.29 (the patched libsqlite from ownheres mod...this version is patched from sibere..only made a update zip)

[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
hi Alex

i want to change the SD card. i dont want to restore apps and all. what should i do?

i mean i can do factory reset, and davlik cache cleaning.... just that? or something else?

frankly i want to give the phone to my brother and he will be using his own sdcard in it of 4gb capacity. are any files installed on the sdcard? or will i need to flash again with the other sdcard?

please clarify...

thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I have once (in the past) a boot problem if i only make a factory reset...you can try but the best should be make a ext on the new card...go to recovery...make a factory reset and flash the rom again...should be the cleanest (no problems) way

what´s your new phone..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
thanks for the help

phone undecided yet.... either htc desire hd or htc hd7 or samsung omnia 7 or iphone 4.... lolz....

which one do you REALLY recommend?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
they all have + and -

1. desire hd (better as our desire/new soundchip/not always fast (like all htc sense roms)/very good browser with flash support)

2. iphone (what should i say to that...its not a bad phone :) )

3. hd 7 (very fast/also soundchip/mono tasking/browser without flash)

4. omnia 7 (don´t know..)

but its only my favorite..what do you say..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
desire hd.... maybe not. as you say that its kind of slower than desire. desire hd roms are also slow. i like their look, specially the themes.... but otherwise its slow. i only wish that those beautiful desire hd themes were ported for alex desire rom :) can that be achieved?

i will wait for new phones... more coming very very soon :)

so till then i will use desire only i guess... no other option as its simply the best :)

which is your fave phone? other than desire ofcourse :)

best wishes

deepak :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I think don´t compare the hd port for normal desire with the real hd...check some youtube reports or go to some stores and test...

I think Desire HD (because of the much apps..etc) after that a i phone...but i follow also the winows 7 phone´s...i hope that with some updates it get better)

It´s not easy because all the phones have some good things :)

for the hd theme port...it´s not easy (not right..it´s easy) but it will take much much time...because all the changed stuff is in 1 file...so you must compare each file in framework-res.apk/htc-resources.apk/rosie.apk and some others...so you see what i mean

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
Real Thx, will try that out and report later. :)

Besides,will that update zip work for other 2.29 Rom too? What it does actually?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes..can work on other 2.29 roms too...

It will disable a sync option..that is not really needed and very safe :)

With kind regsrds...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
Really? Does the sync option disabled has anything to do with HTC sync or any kind of mail/calendar sync it does? I can't live without my calendar connected with Exchange server. :o
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
yes i agree with you. i think that windows phone 7 is pretty decent :) and maybe with couple of updates it will be better than what it is at the moment. and again every phone/platform has some or the other thing which is better than the others :)

i am really really happy with your desire froyo rom. such a sexy thing it is :)

2 things.... your own expresso theme is not working on the current rom. bootloops. tried 2 times. even with full wipe and flash! and second is that is there any possibility for unlock and wakeup by trackpad? kind of got used to it so much now.

thanks and have a good time ahead :)

buddy.... how can we change the icons like people, messaging, internet, camera etc? any help on this?

thanks a billion times.... love you brother :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
You have to edit each apk :)

extract (use winrar) the apk...search in res for the icon ...change it to the one you want (same format)...now open the apk with winrar again...delete the res folder in it and add the new res folder...make a flash zip of it (you can use a theme zip for that delete the apk files in the theme zip and copy in your apk)

Dear Alex

if using a2sd+ rom, is there any easy way to remove/uninstall the a2sd+ script and install the DATA2SD script?

I used "a2sd remove" in adb, the script is still in the system.

is there any other way to remove it, like use Root Explorer to remove each file in system/bin for A2SD? and to install the DATA2SD, which script are your recommandation?

so thanks!

migrate from leedroid

Hello,

I used Leedroid for the moment, but it's not always stable, I've some reboots sometimes.

There is somebody who migrate from Leedroid to Alex-V Sense Rom?

I see also that for this rom in extras, there is google package, so google apps are not included in the rom?

Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
You can try data2whatever it have a remove option for a2sd :)

With kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes droidbois :)

And no its a clean sense rom...did you have a link to the google apps pack...? Mine did not work

Also if you want to try this rom..make a nandroid backup...so you can restore leedroid if you want :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
No I haven't unfortunately :-(

I will wait to find a link which work before of testing your rom.

Thanks a lot :-)

Alex, i've got a problem with HTC News app :( It's not working fine for me, I can't add my sources because it's just not finding them. I wiped and reinstalled the ROM, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas why ?

Otherwise everything is working fine :) Thanks for a great ROM :)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Yep, that was me. Always take a nandroid backup of course, essential if you want to do anything, always.

I then used Alex's stripped bare ROM (Alex - can we have the latest link for that - or can I use the link you gave me?).

http://www.multiupload.com/KXYGADOVXN

Then I restored everything from Titanium - un-checking all the ones in red and HTC Sense data ones, so just apps and email accounts.

Now as for the couttstech-2.6.32.27_oc1190_CMBattFix_BFS_BFQ (faster :)) kernel - is there a link for this somewhere? I will add it to the Wiki so people don't need to ask again.

I will just flash it from recovery and assume that's all that I need to do, after a nandroid backup of course.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:

Sync probs

I've been using this ROM for a few days and I've noticed quite a few sync issues.

- Even with auto sync disabled, after a few hours the sync icon appears and gets stuck. Going into 'Accounts & Sync' I can press Cancel Sync, it goes away. A few hours later it'll be back.

- The Sync icon also gets stuck when syncing normally, but it's intermittent

When the sync icon get's stuck it's definitely having an effect on my battery.

It's probably worth mentioning I have removed a few of the HTC apps like News, Stocks etc. That might be the cause.

Any ideas?

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
@Droidbois Yes that's the one. Works on both standard and hd sense roms.

However, if you are linking via the wiki I think it's fair to advise people that there is a choice of any Sense kernel not just 'Coutts', for example, 'Richardtrip' and 'VorkKernel' (threads in Desire Android Dev) both have Sense kernels too. (Make sure you link to Sense kernels only and not AOSP kernels or there will be some unhappy users!!!)

There are three kernel versions of varying voltage it seems, which is the correct version? They also all the seem to be over clocked.
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
If you don't overclock with SetCPU they won't overclock. The just have the capability to be.

Havs@925 is a good starting point, it that is stable try Havs@875

If Havs@925 isn't stable, go for the non havs (SVS version)
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks for replying so quickly! So if I don't install SetCPU or the like I don't have anything to worry about. Is the first one standard voltage and the others under volted?

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
But was it definitely from his Sense section? He has both AOSP and Sense

Otherwise it really is just an install from zip...and as I've said earlier, a wipe batt stats just before, for accurate batt info.

Alex, the neo theme, does it have the power notification mod?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No ..not in...for this i need much more time :)

With kund regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks for the quick reply BashyUK and Alex! It definitely looks like I used the right kernel, but I will double check and try again.

To install it I just went in to Recovery, clicked install from Zip and then found the Zip on my SD card and off it went. Took forever to boot then the 'System is not responding / force close or wait' error.

Only use this if you have a Sense ROM (no defrost/cyanogenmod/AOSPDesire/opendesire/). It works great with the new HD roms.

[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Just a heads-up ... in case you're having random reboots with the 875mv kernel, you can use the 925mv instead, or the SVS version

BL
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
What's the advantages of the lower voltage kernel? Is it had for the phone? What kernels do you all use?
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Most of the custom kernels here are undervolted already. The difference will be either HAVS vs SVS. The advantage of HAVS is lower battery usage. on the other hand, not every phone / battery can stand the varying voltages. Some phones will just randomly reboot or shutdown completely. In this case, those phones will need kernel with Static Voltage (stock kernel is SVS, but with higher voltage consumption)

stuck in boot animation screen

I currently use your ROM V2.0 and all workin OK for me.

I try to flash the new version 2.1 and the HD 1.5 but after flashing each one of them my Desire stuck in the boot animation screen.

I make befor flashing a full wiping Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache and battery. as you recommended.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
It should be the opposite...1.9 and 2.0 have a reboot problem...2.1 not...did you use the normal data factory reset in recovery..? Try the 2.1 original..if all is fine..maybe a better kernel

Hi there !

Very good ROM, I was fed up with the HD version (not used to the lag), tried Oxygen 2.0RC6 which was speedy at first then began to freeze and to slow down.

Came back to a normal Sense ROM and... I'm happy with the reactivity :D

Great work, thank you Alex :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I can feel with you...i´m on the same point at the moment...I find the new sense more than good...but the lag´s can not be talked away....it would be very cool/nice to have a hd without complete lag´s but i think its not possible yet...(in compare to normal sense the hd one is laggy..no matter a2sd+ or data2sd...) normal sense is more speedy (on every rom from every dev i tried)

it would be nice htc give us a new sense for normal desire...

Will try more on normal sense with data2sd/whatever.....maybe a patch for hd cam (it have better sound..i not used 720p recording..because of to much mb)
