Ok everyone so I thought I'd share this with you. I have been messing with this version of Android for quite some time. I find myself comparing all the versions of android to this version. Well heres my story I had the latest version of ShubCraft (1.4d) and didnt like the battery suckage...even with the new zImage from netripper.. So bored at work I decided to try the desire rom v5 with the new zImage and the startup.text from shubcraft's 1.4d. And WOW Let me tell you all, its so awesome I decided to share my info for all who decides to enjoy. Heres the kicker, it says its a Sence Rom but I dont run it with Sence. I use Launcher Pro. So if you want an awesome rom comparable to all the other with BETTER battery usage, then try this out and give props to DarkStone and all the other devs too...

Here is the link for Darkstone's Desire V5:

http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html

If you dont have the lastest zImage then go here:

http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/?C=M;O=D\

Also I will attach the startup.txt for those not currently running shubcraft 1.4d but it will have to be later tonight as my work comp is being dumb and not letting me transfer the text.. stupid thinclients!!!

Now in order to not have sence, when you get this version up and running then use Linda File Manager and nav to system\app and delete rosie.apk and reboot.

Muy Importante!!!! Make sure you have some sort of launcher in either your androidapps folder or in the data\app folder. When I changed roms I didnt delete my androidapps folder that had com.fede.launcher.apk (launcher pro) this is important to make sure its there....and all should be good. Please feel free to try this and post back your results. I will try to post some screen shots but you will have to wait till I get to my home PC. Also this current set up is the brightest/clearest, fastest data, fastest responding. It's just dam beautiful. Please feel free to post any issues and we can get this sorted out for you. PS I havent tried BT or GPS yet but there have been many updates with the lastest modules on netrippers server so if they dont work then you can just replace them by using ADB or SUFB with the system & data mounted as R/W...

Please tell us what you think. I know I have found a winning combination, for me and my daily, monthly, yearly driver, of all the different versions of Android.... but what do you think??

Update:

I have attached the startup.txt for easier access...

I'm trying this build out but How do you replace the system files with the latest git updates to get the gps, bt working? I'm using windows 7 btw so would you tell me how to do so?

thanks for the idea..

Anyone heard from DarkStone in a while? I've just been using his rls, but havent seen him around lately so I might try this or mattc 1.6
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] one2one69:
worth a try

I will try, since I had the same impression the Desire built is the one handling better the 3g/wifi.

shubcraft has the best look and feel, but so far the best ROM is the mattc 1.6b

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
Yea no worries.. I liked the shubcraft build cuz of cyanogen but then I started messing with this set up and I love it... best response to everything... so I have been just having fun with this build..Download Droid explorer and it will let you transfer the files.. just make sure you mount the system as r/w using adb.... I have used super user file browse (sufb) and that let's you mount the system and data as r/w... but from either just copy/push them into the same place as shubcraft has listed System/lib/modules... and them of course reboot..

That's sounds like an awesome combo. I've tried pm'ing darkstone to tell him to update ver5 for a while. I always thought in my opinion ver5 was always the Godfather of these builds. Being one of the first ones out, it was more responsive than most of the builds today, and look how long ago that was compared to all the new builds and upgrades of now. Will definitely try this. Like they say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" So tuning up something that was already great should make for one hell of a build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
Isn't v5 android 2.1? That would account for the improved battery life, 2.2 requires more processor power, but it's also 450% faster ( from some test reports) basically it won't work well with sense that's why its better with launcher pro. Also you don't get the advances in 2.2 ( maybe you don't need them anyhow).Its worth doing a quadrant benchmark to test properly if its really faster. Also maybe worth comparing with something like Shu8i v 1.2, pretty similar to what your using but I would bet It would be much faster also.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
Yes sir 2.1 but its still kicks a$$... I left my phone on over night not charging for about 8 hours, and my battery went from 63 to 58! Im stoked! And I did benchmark it and my score was just under the nexus 2.2 around 1200.. ill see if I can up a pic... ill see what I can do from my work comp... as my home pc's hard drive kicked the bucket yesterday... so right now I have no way to upload to xda... but ill figure it out. This really an awesome setup! Darkstone if you read this take this setup and run with it señor... you won't regret it.. market is blazing fast.. this feels the like a native Rom for me.... also I have auto rotate on and that is working wonderfully for me too... mind u I have that class 6 card... try it and run the benchmark.. u will see for yourself...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
Well Im pretty open minded so I tested your theory with michyprimas, latest zimage and stock zimage from 23rd August sense disabled. Theres no root access to enable setcpu so the processor was running at 768, still running at 998 wont make that huge a difference.

Result your device: 525, exactly what I expected for a 2.1 based ROM.

It is buried by newer Roms in benchmarks, but it runs fast and smooth and I see why you like it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Wouldn't that original root.fs file work? The file is on linux and android read post 3 thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
I dont know how you got 525 but for proof I have attached the quadrant score I just got five minutes ago.. And its not 525 my friend.. its beyond the nexus 2.2 results... and this is a rooted rom.... all my super user access request programs work just fine no issues at all...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Hey Pharoah, how did you get over 1300? Im getting 702 tops. I got set cpu to the max. Are there any special tweaks your using to get that high. I love this combination, and if there is any way i can tweak mine to get up that high, I would appreciate if you shared how you got that high.:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
I havent done anything different that I have learned from the threads of darkstone and shubcraft..I use autokiller with an optimum preset, advance task killer with the auto kill frequency set to kill apps when the screen is turned off and the 4 profiles setting in setcpu to manage the speed of my processor for battery consumption. Nothing else special added to help the speed. Just really the startup.txt and netripper zimage are the only 'major' changes I have made... I restarted my phone and ran quadrant again and got a score just under the nexus 2.2 of 1307 with like 20+ apps running in the backround. Maybe becuase I have a class 6 card??? who knows.. are you running the setup like mine (senseless) or are you running it with sense??

Update...

It cant be the class of card. My friend who has the exact same setup just a class 2 card just scored a 1296... so maybe the setcpu, autokiller, and advance task killer tweeks help.... try and report back..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Yea Im running a class4. But I know that is not the problem. I could get a 1780 on Shubcraft 1.4 My set up is pretty much the same is yours. Im running it with launcher. I did replace the rootfs.img with the one that was on the beginning of the Linux and Android Read Post3 thread. Because as I remember that build isnt rooted. Did you replace your rootfs.img? Or did you use the original one? That might be why mine is running so slow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
That I can remember I didnt switch the rootfs, its the original. But really not rooted huh?? I guess I missed that posting... I have not had any issues running root-required apps. Try it maybe that is the difference.. Im going to see if I can up my rootfs but idk if I can manage via my phone since I cant connect usb to this work computer... usb ports on work comp disabled... :( but ill try..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Yea some apps like set cpu you don't have to have root access. I know it says you do, but it will still run without it. I do remember when desire 5 came out it was definitely not rooted. I'm gonna change it back to the original one and see. Even though I'm only getting 700 bench mark, it is still better than the other builds out there. 2.1 is definitely faster than 2.2 I will change it tomorrow and post if I got a higher score or not.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da-pharoah:
Right on well check it out and keep me posted...

Update:

I copied over the rootfs.img from froyostone 2.1 and it booted just fine with this combo.. I just ran quadrant standard and Im getting 1304 just slightly under the nexus 2.2... and for sure that rootfs is fully rooted.. try this maybe it may make a difference for you... and I just ran it 3 times again after killing all my apps and now average is about 1335-ish!! freakin sweet!

As far as the no data connection.. r u using WiFi or your phone carrier? And do you have the right apn settings in there? And who is your carrier anyway?

I was using that rom before moving to hd2froyo when the notifacation lights were implemented. Im a little smarter now :)

Im gonna give this a try right now.

I use att edge and data worked for me out of the box with froyostone when i used it last.

I have a question though, because i havent learned everything yet. Can anyone help me with what it is you guys are using for benchmarking? Im not into the bench mark crap, but it would be nice to see if i get similar results as OP
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carhigh:
Hmmm, why didnt/dont you just use the clean version instead of the sense version? Thats what i used a while back, just the clean.

I just loaded the sense with the new zimage and clicked sense. He he, it froze up. The sense must not work well with the new updates. Im not lookingto use sense anyway, and had launcherpro in there, just playing. Im gonna load the clean version with launcher pro

Hmm, how do we make the data.img larger? Its 256 in this and hd2froyo is 512
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carhigh:
Mine is doing the same thing. I think its something in the latest zimage, read

11 hours ago Lukas D. Gorris htcleo: add additional selectable keymapping htc-msm-2.6.32

Im gonna try the previous one

Data.img in the clean version is 512 :)

Hey,

I used the search function and did not find what I searched for so I hope I did not oversee something :)

I recorded some videos with my phone (HTC hero with the standart camera) and as I wanted to copy the files to my pc I could not find them. There is the option to share via gmail or bluetooth but the files are to big for gmail and my pc does not have bluetooth so how can I transfer these video files to my pc?

Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance

What about moving stuff to SD card and pulling card / using USB adapter to plug in PC? Plus it all depends on what format device records video in that will determine if you can play on PC.

No, it's not, WiMo is used to initialise some things and then is completely shut down to allow the Android kernel to run on a clean system.

i've had the same understanding; WinMo has nothing to do with Android once it's running. if that's the case, why are there "Lite" WinMo ROMs that are supposed to be "optimized" for a better Android experience?

not looking to argue, just quite curious...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Metastable:
The "optimized" winmo roms are just stripped down versions to allow quick booting into Android. There are also settings within winmo that people say will affect Android but I never looked into that.

If WinMo completely shuts down before linux boots, then why do we run CLRCAD and how does that enable sound in Android if all the winmo apps were shut down?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
This is took from haret source code.

This is what haret does in a few words:

Loads kernel and initrd in memory

shuts down hardware

changes resume address to point to kernel instead to windows ce

turns on again hardware

This means that windows code is not executed anymore, and is probably overwritten by linux memory allocation.

Hope it's clear and will stop to open this kind of threads. (I've seen at least 10 of them around)

So are you confining that windows mobile does NOT affect the way android runs on our Hd2's all together and mini and low usage rom's make no difference. And Wm reg tweaks are pointless? Some one please confirm. :-)
