Yes that is what i mean...but anyway..maybe flash the rom again...or put it before in the rom.zip and flash this :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for report :)
[Desire Android Development] juniorxdb:
Hi, Alex! Can I need swap to install 2.2 Rom? Works with cache cleaners from market?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:

Alex

the system folder for v2.2 rom only mount as R/O, and the stock app can not be removed.

How to change to R/W and back to R/O?

So thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
There is no need in a normal sense (non hd) Rom :)

but i will look into ;)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Don´t know...have you tried a reflash...easiest way is to include this in before you flash (under system/app)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I left out the system rw access in the 2.2 rom...because it use some space and also it set´s much symlinks....and most people have s-off (i not yet) anyway...you can delete it before you flash the rom from the zip) if you have problems again or really needed this i can make a patch :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
How Do I Do that?

skickat från min HTC Desire (Tapatalk Pro)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
1. extract my rom.zip with winrar...

2. go to system/app and place your apk there....

3. now make a zip of it again...(note: not from the whole Alex folder...than it not install...make from all inside the extracted folder)

4. now copy zip to sd

5. change in recovery - toggle verification

6. flash it

7. done :)

ps: with the same way you can remove some apps you don´t want...twitter etc.

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Thanks, youre the King :-)

I'll try that.

Edit: Can I remove Sense? What files are that.

skickat från min HTC Desire (Tapatalk Pro)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Remove rosie.apk (thats the htc launcher)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
I tested: removed rosie.apk added launcherpro.apk and made a zip!

Installed fine and launcher pro was there but I get 100% cpu anyway :confused:

Help!
[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
hello Alex :)

how are you friend?

i am facing a major problem with Twitter on this rom only!!

after every reboot i get automatically logged out of twitter??!!

am i the only one facing this problem?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mhhh..maybe flash another kernel...and how are your partitions on sd card..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
have not tested..will look into

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
I have made a 512MB ext3 partition.

What kernel do you recommend? How do I install a new kernel?

Is it dangerous to change kernel?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
I'd re install the application as it's fine for me.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex,

i tried installing your 2.2 rom and im getting a error in recovery, its says error at line 11: copy_dir, installation aborted, any help? tnx
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Deleted the stock app from ZIP, and added TitaniumBackup in data/app, with the signature, it works great.

But due to none icon & clear APP name there, it's hard to delete each one, and still have one remained. If Patch is available, will be more welcome!:D

_____________________________

Otherwise, I tried the four partitions (FAT32 + EXT3 1G + EXT3 350M + SWAP 128M). With v2.2 ROM installation, there is only data in the First EXT3 1G portion, no data in EXT3 350M and SWAP 128M partitions.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
512 mb ext 3 is ok and good for a2sd+ rom

For kernel look here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849002

bfs svs kernel (the one without 875 and 925 in the name) should work good...

Flash it like a rom (but without a wipe)

Really strange problem that you have

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

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
did you have maked a full wipe before..? (Data factory reset) also what ext partitions you have..?

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

yeah if i have time :)

---------------------

normal its not data2ext (fat32 + ext + ext + swap)

for now (for have a safe solution [data loose]) its based on data2whatever 0.2e (fat + ext) if i have time again will make a version with data2whatever 0.3 (fat + ext + swap) (but swap on normal sense is not really needed)

why not data2whatever 0.4..? because it have dalvik on internal (iternal get´s full with dalvik)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
I've tried six different ROMs with the same problem - 100% CPU with a third party launcher. Have not these different roms different kernels?

What makes you think that the problem depends on the kernel?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Sounds more like an app issue then?! Why do youthink it's ROM based?
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex,

Full wipe did the trick i was just hoping that a full wipe wasnt needed, anyway all is good now, 450MB free on internal, tnx, great rom as always :)
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Added this issue to the Wiki as I had similar.
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
thx, would try it when I'm free ;)
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Dont know if its just me, but my apps are showing in the market but accdg to the my apps list in the market they're currently not installed, even if they are installed...anyone?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Clear data in 'settings-applications-manage applications-Market'. can go a bit funny after a few ROM 'jumps'.
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
I get this problem right after I installed a ROM and then launcherpro no other apps!

I read in another forum that I should try enable usb debugging to get rid of 100% cpu.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
But then you've just said it yourself...no other apps except that one regardless of ROM...the very definition of an app issue! :-)

Is USB debugging not enabled in the ROM anyway? If that doesn't work I would get onto the app dev, there's no point asking a ROM dev. Or post in Desire Q+A.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Tnx, this worked, bit weird though, happened twice already, 1.9 and 2.2 rom each once
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
I like this rom and thanks for all help everybody.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:):):):):):):););):p:p:p

Thx ...with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Big thanks for the help bashy ;) :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Should I have USB debugging enable or not, always? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Best to leave connected. You will need it for various functions. As you're new to this I recommend you read around the site more, especially the full guide to rooting, it will explain a lot of terms for you. Also browse Desire Q and A, there's a wide range of issues in there, some good learning for you.

Don't forget the Alex V wiki either!

Alex, it's been one of those days! Needed a break from work so came on here to chill. Btw had some funny behaviour today, tb freezing on scheduled backup. Wifi connection hanging on connection, data connection hanging and juice defender crashing also gmail freezing. Had to reboot couple of times to resolve. Coutts cfs. Will see if issues next couple of days then try BFS. If still the same, back to stock kernel or check if coutts has new versions. Got these versions few weeks ago. Which kernel and rom you running at the moment?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Mhh..who knows...kernel...maybe the radio...

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Definitely not radio, have had that ages but anyway all sorted after the reboots, had Gmail issue with sync but sorted that.

Have d/l Coutts CFS VR kernel, will try that out later this week. Have BFS VR also but not sure about that, remember having lots of probs when used BFS in AOSP but I think that was probably due to my Desire being faulty at the time and not the kernel's fault...

So you didn't answer, which ROM and kernel are you running? ;-)
[Desire Android Development] fallos:
Why my scaling always back to ondemand and 1113mhz.. i want to use smartass, but i cant.. after some time again ondemand!
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Which kernel are you using? Does the original kernel in this ROM, siberes, have smartass enabled, I didn't think it did?

If you set these options via SetCPU then maybe try reinstalling SetCPU first, could be an app issue I have had issues in the past with this not kicking in properly on boot but after reinstall it was fine.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex,

Im using 2.2 right now, can i flash the battery percentage mod? And if i want to go back to stock battery how do i go about doing that? Tnx
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Come on, you can read the first page right?!

Classic % Battery for 2.29

http://xdaforums.com/atta...7&d=1294175714

Now as for the original theme...we have a wiki fail...Alex was supposed to put the link in but has obviously forgotten to. So you will have to wait or flash anyway.

I'd recommend the Espresso theme though (in Desire Themes + apps), has % and some 'sexy' black/blue goodness lol!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
you must set in set cpu the option set on boot :)

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

Swap for Standard Sense? What are the benefits?
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Alex

with Rom v2.2, the game Hungry Shark Part 2 v2.0.0 always FC or stucked the phone.

if stucked, only way is to remove the battery.

Any good advice for it?

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
All- wiki update - please read

ALL

The Wiki now has pretty much all the info you could need to get started and resolve most issues with both this ROM and HD ROM (also with custom ROM's in general tbh) including links to original kernel and theme. Please only ask q's that are definitely NOT answered in there (link on first page, Alex sig, my sig and DroidBois sig) or in the thread in earlier posts.

Also, I'm noticing a lot of queries re: apps. This is not the ROM's fault (usually). Always re-install your app first/reset it's settings before asking questions. If it's still not resolved, then ask the question to either a) Desire Q+A and/or b) the app dev. With regards to games, I'll be honest, if it's a mega game like Angry Birds and you are 3/4 through, just finish the game before ROM jumping otherwise you take the risk of losing your data! Happened to me. I lived but was sad for a while :rolleyes:

I don't mind PM's either if you are really struggling (not that I can promise to help of course!) but with regards to this thread, if posts are made regarding random apps and already answered issues, it takes the focus away from the ROM. And that is really what the thread is about. I don't think a ROM thread needs to have thousands of posts, if it's all about testing and it's dev, that would suggest serious issues :D

Lastly, having seen the Wiki today, we definitely have to give major props to Droidbois for really stepping up to the plate and starting it off. Top work. England still won the Ashes though :-p

P.P.S. Please don't take my post as a moan, it's all about user education, the more educated you are the more you can help others....and me :p

hi alex,

I installed your rom with ext4 on sandisk 1GB 16GB Class 4 and your work is perfect.

for now I have 2 problems.

the first is sometimes a lag of several minutes

the second is a rapid drain battery (80% last night and this morning 40%)

standby phone, flight mode, SetCPU smartass

would you have an idea of the problem

thank you
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Don´t have problems here (can make a video if you want to see)...for lag use ext3 instead of ext4 ....and one personal battery tip from me...have found out that than i install a rom (no matter what rom or from what dev) i made a Nandroid backup from new rom....than data factory reset and restore the backup...load battery full and have much longer battery than before...

Anyway i use set cpu and make a screen of profile with 245 mhz (or 128-245 mhz)

I have mobile network on and weather (and other sync) to 3h...with some short phone calls and sms i still have 83 % after 14-15 h....after work...

the good battery life is the first reason i switched back to classic sense (instead of hd) the second reason is the better speed....but new sense have some good things in...hope it also come for our desire

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex,

What does swap add to performance? And does the ram optimization also speed things up? Tnx :)
[Desire Android Development] obrian:
thank you alex

I try ext3
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
I think my SD card might be getting weary :p had a couple of freezes last couple days. Think I'm going back to a2sd+ can't afford to have to get another sd so soon. Does 2.3 a2sd+ utilise the sdcard more than 2.1 a2sd+ in any way Alex?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
swap is like the windows swap file...(the apps are not autoclose if enough swap or ram is available )

Changed also something in dalvikvm (like in neo´s roms)...

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

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Running 2.3 data version 3 days without any freeze or reboot now... :) Don´t know what problem you have :confused:

2.3 a2sd+ utilise the sdcard the same way like 2.1 (same script)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Probably 'dirty data' but am worried it's because the sd card is being used a lot and it can't handle it. Anyway, will use a2sd+, at the moment it will suffice, when i run out of space then can look at other ways.

Is the RAM optimisation your work or in conjunction with another dev?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i use the standard 4gb card without a problem ;)

its a little tweak...it´s not from a rom dev here...its also used in other phones...don´t know which dev invented this

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Ah why not it's the weekend, if it doesn't work out can easily sort. Will put the new version of data on and let you know ;-p
[Desire Android Development] yreham:
Is this the only Rom that works at 128mgh is good is not as fast as other tons with a2sd but its nice thanks
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
Alex, I'm having a slight problem here... I flashed your ROM on Thursday, and on friday I rebooted the phone (complete shutdown) and then my unlock/lock sounds cut out. I tried using Quick Settings to remedy that problem, but it just didn't work.

I'm at a bit of a loss here as I don't want to ditch your ROM (it has been the best stock experience so far). It never happened with the official Stock ROM that the phone came with...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
if you want it faster...flash a other kernel...i use this kernel as it have good battery "feeling" :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Try this flash update :)

lag of alex-v 2.3 app2sd+ rom

Hello,

I tried alex-v 2.3 app2sd+ rom, but after restoring all my apps, I had a big lag...freeze during several minutes, so I prefered restoring my leedroid 2.3b even if it reboot sometimes :-(

I saw this problem in wiki. I think I'll try it again after it will be resolved.

Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No lags here...what ext you have..? And how big is it..?

All data 2sd roms need some minutes to be stable after start

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
thanks for the Audio Library, though I think I found what has been causing the sound outages: I set the Idle Speed to 240 MHz with SetCPU, and when I set that to 420 MHz the Problem disappeared.

I'll keep the Audio Library though, just in case the Problem pops up again ;)

Thanks again :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mhhh...i set a screen of profile with 128 -245 mhz smartass and the lock/unlock sound...sounds :)

anyway...this is the patched libaudioflinger that should work correct (should be also in the rom) Muxeu have test it and it work

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
I've an ext3 partition of 457 Mo.

I installed it yesterday late at 3 am, restore all my user app with Titanium Backup.

And at wake up when I began to use my phone, I had a big lag of several minutes.

I didn't try the data2sd version only the ap2sd+ 2.3 version.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
Well, I'm using the ondemand governor... also, i'm still on version 2.1 of your rom, as it looked like to me that 2.3 only has Data2Whatever in it.

Or is Apps2SD+ also integrated ?
[Desire Android Development] Metalazzo:
Is RAM optimization worth the flash of this 2.3 ROM ? :)

I really like your 2.2 version of your ROM, smooth, quick and quite good with battery :)
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Lol had a bit of a job with this, my own fault though! I didn't do tb backup before re formatting the sd card so thought I would do a nandroid restore and do it that way then flash the new ROM. For some reason I couldn't successfully complete a full backup but managed to do an apps one. So have only had to redo settings again as in homescreens etc. Could have been worse. I did just try restoring data from the nandroid but I ended up with no market?!

Anyway, up and running now with 2.3 datawhatever version. Had boot loop with your own Espresso though. Full Espresso working fine. Currently on standard kernel. 1Gb ext3, 100mb swap. On 16gb class 6.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
On a2sd+ version..?!? think there is a problem with your ext partition..since you have also reboots in Leedroid...

Why your ext is 457 mb...? Standard if you use rom manager to make a ext partition is 512 mb...maybe use the link i posted on first site with parted magic life cd to make a new ext...

Also make a data factory reset before flashing (full wipe)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
If you are satisfied all is good :)

@jadephyre : if you are on 2.1 it´s normal with your audio thing as it have a older lib in...flash the new one and it should work :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Nandroid problem...: mhhh but this have nothing to do with the rom...what version of recovery you have..?

what version of my expresso mod you will use...i use the v2 from 27.01...works fine for me (with data2whatever 2.3 version)

anyway...thx for info :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
Alright, now my goddamn network is acting up... I can surf the net just fine on 3G & HSDPA, but I can't watch Videos in Youtube or connect to meinVZ through that connection... I have no Idea what to do.

If I can't find any fix for that, then I'll have to roll back to the stock sense ROM that came with my phone (which sucks because it's tmobile branded).

Using the 2.1 version of your ROM btw.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Try the 2.3 ... :)

Maybe flash a newer radio
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Are you sure it's not a network issue? Sounds like it to me. Maybe you're being restricted due to going over your data allowance?
[Desire Android Development] thierry_b:
Yes, this link : http://www.multiupload.com/WM47F7M0YE

I don't know why it's that size, but I don't see why it would change something between 457 and 512 Mo.

I did also full wipe before passing to Alex-V Rom.

And when I saw those lags, I restore Leedroid with an nandroid backup, I never add Alex-V Rom and Leedroid at same time lol.

Thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Dear Alex

The orginal internet is FC without any notice.

Is the reason some components be deleted?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Don´t know why you have a lag...have tried again...after restore my apps (i use my backup) all is good...the first boot after restore is a bit longer...but ok...mmmhhh

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Runs good here...maybe go to applications and delete cache and data..reboot and you will see..

I did not know any program/app dependencies...

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
@BashyUK & Alex-V

it was a network Issue apparently, because when I input the Vanilla E-Plus APN Information, it worked again.

Also, I have a download quota, but after exceeding it, the speed gets reduced to GPRS.

After I input the normal E-Plus APN though, it still worked with full HSDPA Speed, so I can't have exceeded my quota.

Everything works again btw after the new APN has been set as the default. It was probably an error with the proxy server for Medion Mobile.

EDIT:

One thing I have to ask though: Can I just flash your 2.3 ROM on top of the 2.1 ROM ?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Good to hear ;) :) :)

I don´t know if you can flash on top...i never make this...i always wipe before i flash...So make a nandroid backup and try...if it not work you can go back :)

with kind regards...Alex
