thank you for your quick reply...

Lastly I read that the normal S-OFF version should be used is:"Bravo Stock 1.5 258M 41M 152M 2092edb4aa79638199e3165a99896b0f bravo_alphaspl.img"

When I installed my S-OFF I just downloaded the ISO from the alpharev website this: AlphaRev 1.5 HBOOT reflash utility, and after I successfully installed it I never patch any IMG file? Do you think I should flash the bravo_alphaspl.img? or I am already having this? Maybe this is affecting my bootloop issue?Please advice...

It shows on my boot screen the following:

---AlphaRev---

Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-OFF

Grateful for your help, soon I will return it back to you:)
[Desire Android Development] Pyr03k:
if you have never flashed a partition table then you will already have the stock size which is fine no need to flash one of these for this rom.

I have alpharev s-off and no problems so I don't think partition table is the issue
[Desire Android Development] ocihc80:
Thank you for your confirmation...

I deleted my all union files in /system/etc/init.d (But still got a booltloop after I did that), now I will try to install this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=123... Hope this finally solve the issue...

Hi Alex! First of all, thank you for your very nice rom, i use it quite a while now and im satisfied!

Just a question: Is it possible to update from 1.6.2 to the latest version without wiping? Or should i wipe first, no matter what?

Please keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
From the from 1.6.2 to 1.7 should work :) its not a problem i think (but make a nand backup)

with kind regards..Alex

Hi Alex,

Any plans for new updates???

Regards

Sam124
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes :)

will update 1.7 with a new kernel...and updated apps..like flashplayer etc...but at this time i will stay on 2.10...because its compatible to the most mods....

and from what i know wwe 2.29 have not all language in...and all themes etc most be changed..because a other framework

Also i plan a non a2sd version with new busybox and the init.d script from this thread (all you must do is the adb things)

Hi Alex,

After 3days flashing the kernel SVS version you advised, I am not experiencing any auto-reboot.

Question: is this SVS version does include WiFi mode similar like richardtrip? If not can I use it? Or any other advice? Generally I do not have issues with my WiFi, I would like try some other enhancements...

Thanks a lot...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problem ;)

3 questions....

1) which all themes work with this version? can you please list them on the main post?

2) what is the difference between apps2sd version and data2sd? what do they do? i am confused!!!

3) get 100% if you unplug your phone if you charge it overnight.... hmmm... what does this mean exactly?

[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Hi mate!

Delighted to see my data2sd & kernel in your rom!

keep the good work :)
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
is a question ...... data2sd necessary to do the divisions or is it alone to install the rom and already this one?
[Desire Android Development] MrLuje:
Thanks to you, guys ;)

I'm gonna try the data2sd version this afternoon.

How can I upgrade from 1.7 ?

nandroid backup -> partition sd with steps in OP -> flash 1.8 ROM -> restore nandroid (except for updated system apps :D)

Is this ok ?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:)

1. all Themes from 1.6.2 and 1.7 work on 1.8 because base is still build 2.10 (because i have no probs with 2.10 and 2.10 is much more compatible to all the mods here on xda) (Hope for new sense in next build )

2. Data2sd use a big data partion so you have around 400 mb or more (depending on the second partition you must make for) internal memory....so there is no more a need of a2sd and you don´t have space problems in future

3. it have a slighly trickle charge...and this is really ok...all my phone i have in the past...have this

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:):):):)Yeah...big big thanks again for your work :):):):)

and i also say...keep the good work :p:p;)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Hope i understand you right :) (english is not always my best)

-now you have to choice between a2sd rom and data2sd rom...both togehter is not possible

-if you want use the data2sd rom you must follow the how to (steps) on first site (big internal phone memory)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
hmmmm... i guess then data2sd will be a difficult thing to do. i am just an ordinary guy who just know how to flash and nothing else :(
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
1. nandroid backup -> partition sd with steps in OP -> flash 1.8 ROM ...This is correct

2. restore nandroid (except for updated system apps :D)...Dont know is if this is possible (maybe with extra option in nandroid menu)....i made a backup with My Backup from the Market

---> Please make a backup of the SD Card before you partition your sd card<--

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
thanks for the response. my English is not very good either.....
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
no worries :)

BTW did u check-out the last 01data script? no big changes, just the way e2fsck runs at boot to check ext2 file :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I have think about it 3 days and then i tried it...it looks complicated (because of the adb commands)...but its easy if you do it step by step with a little time...not with stress...believe in me :):):)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
ok. i will give it a try.

one more query....

as i have downloaded the data2sd file... so will i be able to flash it and then use modinstall location to send apps to sd card?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yeah..think its in...i have it from your new thread in dev/roms main thread (not from the from q&a thread)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes its possible ...but there is no need :) :) ;)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
i meant if i am unable to do the data2sd thing :)

thanks again for your support and yes obviously the rom :)

best wishes
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
ah sorry :)

if you can´t get it to work...let me know on what point...and you also can format the card again with rom manager (and ext3) and flash the a2sd rom ;) :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] juniorxdb:
Yes, you can!!!

You are the man!!!

[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:

i just flashed the rom data2sd.... used spare parts.... so that the apps get stored in sdcard, but no its not working. so there is a need to download the ap2sd version of the rom.... ahhhh have to wait longer.

[Desire Android Development] MrLuje:
Hum, I flashed 1.8 (A2SD version for now :p) over my 1.7

In market, I noticed that flash & maps still needed an update & I got FC with gmail... so I though I've done something wrong.

Went in recovery, wiped data & sd-ext, flashed again and now I'm getting boot loop...

What I have done wrong ?

Thanks in advance

(currently restoring nandroid)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
In recovery...make a data factory reset (full wipe) and flash again

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
yes i meant ext... that way its easier and quicker.

anyways... i am now downloading the ap2sd file and then flash it. and i hope that in future there is some easier way of doing the data2sd thing, as its kind of difficult for us noobs :D

and yes you deserve the flowers with best wishes :)

best wishes :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
try it again if you really want it ;) ;)

i also hope a Linux or Android Dev can make something like the a2sd thing :)

Anyway...big thanks to sibere to have a stable data2sd :)

[Desire Android Development] mariosraptor:
firstly thank you for the quick reply!

just wait a minute!!!

Des this work with N1Table partitions?

it might be the problem?
[Desire Android Development] le poulpe:
hi,

want to try you rom

but, if i remove the bootanimation.zip, will it still works?

will i have a faster boot load?

thx
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i think you are right....the n1 table have only 149 mb for system...but a normal sense system without delete any apps is much bigger...so if you want use the rom you should flash the Bravo Stock 1.5	table with 258 mb for system

the bigger data part from n1 you get back if you do the steps from data2sd

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Pyr03k:

Alex, kernel 2.29 is newer than 2.10 - isn't it? Why don't u use 2.29?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thats true but....at this time i will stay on 2.10...because its compatible to the most mods....and all themes etc must be changed..because of a other framework

and i have no problems with 2.10....there is nothing really new in 2.29...the things that are new i have put in my rom :)

I hope that htc release the new sense update for classic desire (not the hd port) :)

[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
Alex,

(1) I have installed the 1.8 ROM with data2sd on an sdcard 16gb class 2. I would like to report that it is very unstable and slow (possibly due to the card class). It is actually unusable in my setup.

(2) I noticed that your ROM is ext4 compatible. I use RomManager and ClockworkMod recovery for nandroid backups, and I noticed that ClockworkMod does not recognize ext4. Questions:

- What recovery do you use?

- Is ext4 relevant for this phone? In this direction, is ext3 relevant? Speed-wise discussing would ext2 be just enough for the second partition on SD?

(3) What is the relation between a2sd+ and the swap partition? Is a swap partition absolutely useless and counter-indicated here? I have created a swap partition of 32 mb, but the "free" command says that it is not used by the ROM.

Thank you for doing such a good job with the ROM.

Horia
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
1. yes class to is not so good for this...it run but not perfect

2. ext4 is a feature (modul) of the kernel...i never used ext4..only ext3 and 2

i have rooted my phone with unrevoked and the custom recovery (clockwork) that come with it

3. Try to enable swap with spare parts...the version in rom is newer and don´t have the option...try the attached one

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
Alex,

Thanks for replying. I could uninstall SpareParts, but the file you posted cannot be installed in the usual way. Do I have to "place" it manually somewhere? What folder exactly?

Alex, the user.conf editor had the linux swap partition part already activated. That should imply that the swap is active? But then why the 0 size info in free output?

Hi alex, really excited about using this rom, however when I flash the 1.8 I get constant boot loops, what happened was I flashed over 1.7 then it FC, after I wiped everything flashed again and still getting boot loops, any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
On what version...? The data2sd or the a2sd

With kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
oh, i forgot, the a2sd version, had to NAND back to 1.7, redownloaded the a2sd version again, and flashed again, now restoring using mybackup pro, hopefully no FC and boot loops this time, keep you posted :D

regarding the data2sd, what are the worst things that can happen in case something goes wrong during the repartitioning? and do i need to repartition then flash your data2sd version, or flash then repartition?

tnx! keep up the great work! :D
[Desire Android Development] Pyr03k:
been running 1.8 for few days and can confirm no probs infact its speedier than 1.7 much more responsive which I didnt think was possible and batt life seems awesome on that new kernel had doubts over HAVS (think new kernel is HAVS) but I'm finding it just as fast and battery is way better :-)
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex seems everything is fine now after flashing again, it seems the problem was with my backup pro, had to restore by batches of ten just to get it working, rom is very fast, hopefully battery usd good too, sense HD next? :)
[Desire Android Development] MrLuje:
Hi Alex,

been running 1.8 a2sd since its release, but unfortunately I'm having issues:

- random reboot (to splash or bootanimation, it depends :confused:)

- desire just freeze, nothing respond anymore (even hardware keys)

For now, reboots and freezes happened while installing apps from market or writting sms; maybe twice a day... not unbearable but quite annoying :p

FYI, I flashed 1.8 over 1.7, restored my settings with TitaniumBackup and I use Notification Menu PowerControl mod

Thanks in advance.

[Desire Android Development] ectole:
Hello there Alex.

Just for starters i´d like to congratulate you for a new rom. Your roms are just fantastic.

Thing is, I have a doubt, what is exactly the sequence to data2sd?

First i download the rom

then i do the partition of the sdcard, after a proper backup

after that i copy the rom to the sdcard and flash it.

at this point i go to the cmd and do all those commands

Please, tell me if i´m wrong, i´m a bit concerned here about the steps

Thank you so much!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

please make a full wipe (data factory reset from recovery and flash the rom again) it seems that flash over 1.7 is not good
