[Desire Android Development] rob205gti:
hello Alex,

the desire I bought (unbranded, unlocked) has Alex-V 1.4 rom. I want to get back to stock before I start experimenting with other rom's. After searching the forums I understand I just have to flash with stock rom. I tried several but all with error 155.

What am I doing wrong? Plz help.

greetz Rob
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
for the most Ruu´s you need a Goldcard to flash back...Don´t know why..but with the 2.1 Eclair O2 Ruu...i can flash without GC....

but there is no need to go this step....flash a new Rom what you want with recovery...(and maybe a newer radio) and you are done :)

with kind regards...Alex

Hi,

I use Titanium Backup,. If I go from 1.8 to 1.2HD, can i restore apps with data (not system just app data) safely?
[Desire Android Development] rob205gti:
Thanks a lot. Will study on how to use a so called "Gold Card". I definitely want to go back to stock, before I go experimenting.

When I bought this Desire, I thought it was a stock rom! Me fool! Credits to Alex-V!

gr. Rob
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
dear Alex,

I've tried to use Alex v1.8 DATA2SD and followed instructions using a 2gb ( I guess it's slower than class 4, anyway, I'm using it just for trying out) and set two fat32 partitions, but it hangs in the HTC boot screen, not even moving to the "quietly brilliant" screen. is there anything wrong? please help

the logcat is something like this

[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
How come you created two fat 32 partitions? Shouldn't it be one fat 32 first then and one ext 3 or 4?

Is there a datawhatever version of 1.8?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I must update this rom...its a very old script

it seems its someone from the sd card...(because data/dalvik is on sd) try format the sd again...or try the app2sd+ rom with the data2whatever solution...it delete automatic the app2sd script and add the data2whatever script...(for this you need min a ext with 1gb)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
the script of the 1.8 data2sd is a older one with 2 fat32 partitions :) (must be updated)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to do all my partitionings.it's quite cool.

thx a ton Alex, I would go try out the 1.8 app2sd+ and used data2whatever (is v.03 (or v.02e) the newest and working for your rom?
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Dear Alex,

i'm currently using your ROM with data2sd and running very smooth.. better then any ROM that use data2ext.

And i heard about melethron's data2whatever, is there any chance you will make built in data2whatever for this ROM?

Thanks..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Oh i see..v.03 is out...yrs should work...maybe better as 02 because of this align

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Maybe this week...but not sure...maybe hongkongtom...a post above..can say you...how good it is...have not test the v.03 script yet

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
oh, I used v.02e, it's smooth as any other rom, but do got some occasional lag (but remember, I used a very old 2gb with I-don't-even-know-what-class), but greatly usable, can't wait to test with my 16gb class 4,

by the way, Alex, is it possible to use v1.8 with normal(stock) CPU Mhz (something around 99x I believe) but with ondemand covenor, cause wanna get max battery life out of it and want this phone to last a little longer :) . by default, I found that with v1.8 the CPU is overhauled at 1113.6MHz.

really thx
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Sounds good :)

And its possible to set to 998 mhz...use set cpu...link on first site in mods post...set it to the mhz you want and click load on boot :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] hongkongtom:
thx for the quick reply Alex, (you're the most responsible developer I've ever met!!!) I've tried setCPU before (for screen state scaling), but seems set CPU would slow my phone down a bit (or a bit laggy), is there other way to remove the overhaul?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I'm at work and have not much work through the holidays...i upload a screenstate script with 998 mhz if i at home :)

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

here is a flashable zip with screenstate @998 mhz screen on and off with 245 mhz

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

Could you please port the Sense HD keyboard to the Desire? Am using your Desire HD rom now, but I like the original more. Only thing I what's really handy is the new keyboard!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
hope i understand you right...: You mean you want the hd keyboard to the normal sense...?! But think you mean more the new text selection or....this is a part from the system and not from the keyboard...Also i tried to install the new one to normal Desire but it gives FC..

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Alex-V 1.9 is uploaded

-complete based on build 2.29

-updated Kernel to siberes svs/sd speed fix/Batt fix/GPU+ Kernel (because some people have problems with havs kernel)

-updated Apps: G-Mail/Market/flash player/you tube/Maps

-2 versions: a2sd+ and a automatic data2sd version

=for data 2sd 1gb ext 3 is the best

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Nice alex.. you made a new version this week just like your previous post..

And i'll try your updated ROM..

Thank you..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:):):):):):);):p

thanks for give it a try :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I have a question about this automatic data2sd.

Is this automatic data2sd using sibere's data2sd, ownhere's data2ext or melethron's data2whatever?
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
Yes I mean the keyboard with the arrows ;)

Downloading 1.9 now!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
its a mix between siberes and ownheres... :) In speed its the best i can find actual...rom with this script is very fast...its almost the same as a2sd+ (think 95 % in speed)

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

I can't install your new 1.9 ROM. Wiped everything, really everything. But it seems to get stuck in something like a bootloop, but when already loaded Android. So I see a glimpse of the lockscreen, and then the 'quitely brilliant' animations plays again over and over.

Any clues? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
on what version a2sd or data2sd..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
Data2SD, with 1GB Ext2 partition on 8gb SD
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
make a ext3 and test again...i tested the roms with 1gb ext3 before i load up

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
is upgrade_fs included or not? Because last time i tried it wasn't, could you give any instructions on how to upgrade the filesystem another way?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
sorry what you mean with upgrade_fs....if you mean change ext2 in ext3...this not work with clockwork recovery...its a function of amonra recovery...and not in the rom.....

burn this as cd and reboot with it:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/

its a kind of live cd with gparted...delete the ext2 and format the free space as ext3

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] juniorxdb:
What is necessary to install the ROM with DATA2SD??? I have a SD Card Class6 with 2 Gb ext 3. Works with this?

More doubts:

- I have S-Off in my Desire. The Images with new partitions (Sense, Data++, Table 1) works with 1.9 ROM???

- The base is 2.29.405.5???

- A noob question... Is OCOV: OC = Overclock and OV = Overvolt??? Is 1.9 ROM undervolted has all powersavings modules????

- How much cost a beer in Germany??? In Brazil this Summer The beer is very expansive!!! Skol, Heinnneken, Brahma, Sol... :)

More one information... If you remember... The Desire's Camera are auto-fix... now, it are working fine...

Thanks for your patience!!!
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
Done, but still the same problem. It boots, you see the lockscreen with the time for about five seconds, and then it plays the boot animation again...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
The data++ or n1 table never worked with a normal sense rom if you don´t delete any things in system...if s-off you need the Bravo Stock 1.5

build is 2.29.405.2

oh i see i have it false wrote ...it must be UVOC means UnderVolt and OverClock

the price in germany..the one you want :) :) :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
mmhhh...can you try with my data2sd hd rom..? its the same script...to see if its the rom or not....

How you have maked your wipe..? maybe delete dalvik cache in recovery

with kind regards..Alex

edit: anyone with the same problem..?

its strange i tested it before
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
Have tried your HD rom (1.3 v2) and that worked like a charm. Have not yet wiped dalvik cache. But that's something for tomorrow, going to sleep now. Just flashed DJ Droid, so my phone is usable during the night ;)
[Desire Android Development] Turbo-T:
with me the same :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
its very strange...i have flashed now the 1.9 data2sd again and all is fine...!!! :confused::confused::confused:

like you can see in this bad quality internet cam pics

Maybe download the rom again....

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
1gb ext3...and wipe as data factory reset..?

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Turbo-T:
Yes, i have test it with 3 different SD-Cards.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
so what can this cause...because you see my pictures...???!!!:confused::confused::confused:

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Downloaded again and flashed and all is ok...!!!:confused::confused::confused:

try delete dalvik cache in recovery

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Hi alex, everything is great with the 1.9 rom, installed it without wipe coming from 1.8 :)

Btw if i flash the battery % mod, is there a way to go back to the old battery in case i dont like the mod? Tnx
[Desire Android Development] vidmas:
sounds good, but did you install a extra power widget to your rom? this is a main reason, who delaying me to change a neo rom to yours
[Desire Android Development] Nutsonfire:
Alex it sounds a bit like what I had with your 1.2hd. After boot and input pin, it went back to white htc screen, if press on/off button i got unlock screen but when unlocked i got white htc screen again. I thought it would not work and let phone alone for 20 minutes, when i tried again it worked.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
This was the behaviour I had with 1.3hdv1 but 1.2hd was fine lol!

It's got to be with the d2sd script that's the only major diff that i can see?

I don't want to move from 1.3hdv2 but am keeping tabs on this threads, will use my friends Desire for these 'standard' updates
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Oh nice...so i'm not the only one who have no probs

Thanks for report

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Sorry for the question...but what do you mean direct with a extra power widget....?

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
So people with this only must wait longer????!!!?

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] delbarta:
Hi. I flashed the 1.9 data2sd rom. I wiped cache, data, sdext, dalvik, battery. There is a 1,5GB ext 3 partition on my sdcard. When the process reach the "preparing sd card" message on the notification bar, the process jump back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen and begin a bootloop.
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
1.3v1 - It never got past the white screen after starting setup wizard , left over an hour.

1.2 and 1.3v2 - it went through after a few mins, maybe 5 or so.

I hope I'm not confusing things by talking about hd roms in the standard thread but the issue is the same. Am still certain it's to do with setting up d2sd the first time, perhaps if the user flashes again (if it doesn't work after an hr) they may find some portion of d2sd setup is 'done' and therefore it works ok?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Did you see the real bootanimation or a white screen with hrc logo...?

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Talking about this is really ok..and a must have report to find out whats the problem...because i dont have any...

1.3 v1 have the data2whatever script v02....

1.3 v2 and 1.9 data...have the same data2sd script...

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] delbarta:
I see the real bootanimation.

After that rom, I made a new full wipe and flashed the 1.9 app2sd rom and I got the same bootloop. :confused: I will try your original rom. I deleted some apps from your rom and changed the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ folder.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
If you have the time...it would be nice if you can try the o rom

I flashed it yesterday 3 times..and all times ok...

If i at home i will look again into working folder from the kitchen...
[Desire Android Development] delbarta:
I tried your original 1.9 data2sd rom after a full wipe and I got the same bootloop then earlier. I go back to 1.8, that works fine. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok..thanks for info...must look to this again...

With kind regards.. Alex
[Desire Android Development] Nutsonfire:
I had only problem on 1.2hd, 1.3 and 1.3v2 both worked immediately.

PS I use Clockwork 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Mhhh...1.2 hd use normal a2sd+ ....

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Nutsonfire:
Crap sorry... I mean only had problem with 1.3v1... sorry for the mix...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problem...1.3 v1 was the data2whatever script
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
1st solution: Hide v1 from use!!!

2nd (for 1.9): Well if it's the same as 1.3v2 then there's definitely no issue with the d2sd script itself as it obviously works. The fact you have been able to install it numerous tmes yourself and the fact some others can too really suggests a user-specific issue rather than ROM. Over on MoDaCo a user has just installed 1.3v2 without issue too. Your prob is getting people to try 1.9, you spoiled us by giving HD as well! If I had another Desire I would test 1.9 for you but I only have 1 and it's my main phone.
[Desire Android Development] carlo0810:
Yup no problems since flash, didnt even wipe :) im using the app2sd version btw, could it be the kernel? Back in 1.8 i had a problem with havs kernel switching to SVS fixed my bootloop...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes...but i only make a data factory reset..than i flashed the rom...reboot and it runs fine.....so i think the problem can be (for the users with problems) anything with the sd card....or sd ext partition....

i have made the ext with the bootable cd i posted...complete delete all partitions make a fat32 partition...and left 1gb free....the 1 gb free now i format as ext3...copy the rom to sd....wipe flash..run

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

In 1.9 i switched to this svs kernel....same as in 1.3 v2 hd...the thing is users see the mount symbol (upper left) after boot and than it bootloops...this strengthens my opinion that it have to do with sd card/sd ext

if i´m in recovery und mount options...it says:

mount /system

mount /data

unmount /cache

mount /sdcard

mount /sd-ext

with kind regards..Alex

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Exactly what i did but in Gparted via Ubuntu. Get the users to try those exact steps, see what it does, maybe they are converting an existing ext partition from 2 to 3 and this is causing issues (although it shouldn't). Always possible it's their sdcard so get them to try on more than one.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
OK...to be sure its not the problem of the rom...i make it again at the moment...with newest 2.29.405.5 as base...if its boot on mine i will upload...

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Svennetjee:
I used the partition software you recommended (very nice!), and made new partitions (6,6GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT3), but it still doesn't work..

I'm guessing the problem is I formatted BOOT before installing the ROM, is it possible your BOOT script/files aren't good? Since BOOT doesn't get formatted with a full wipe that's the last thing I can think of causing the problem..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Don´t know...they are the same as in 1.8....i make it complete new :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...here is the original framework... :)

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

hi Alex

tried the hd rom but cam back to froyo rom as its better :)

can you please list out on the main post that which mods work with the latest version of the rom. thanks

best wishes :)
[Desire Android Development] delbarta:
Hi Alex,

I flashed the new v.2.0 rom, but I got the same bootloop like at v.1.9. I tried both version (a2sd, d2sd) after full wipe and davlik, but I got the same result. I repartitioned the ext3 with MiniTool Partition Wizard, but nothing changed, bootloop. :(
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problem :)

I will do this and add more...with a bit free time :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:):):):):):P;)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
It must be sonething on your phone...i think...try another sd card....try another kernel....eg. the coutts kernel...flash the rom and direct after (no reboot) the other kernel...

2.0 is complete reworked for this problem

Edit: maybe its the patition tool...maybe you can try with rom manager and test with 512 mb

With kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Pnaky:
Alex, I try update from 1.9 to 2.0 and Clocwork recovery console was writen:

[Desire Android Development] deepakoffline:
which radio gives the best performance and battery life?

32.44.00

or

32.49.00

really really confused about this one...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
So it seems flash direct over is not so good :)

With kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Ok...but old market is not really possible...because most times..it updates itself
