I had this problem. I usually leave my Desire overnight so it can sync, titanium backup, fix permissions etc.

After installation of OD, I find that just signing in, then rebooting, installing extras like statusbar then rebooting, then titanium restore, fix permissions, then a reboot usually sorts me out, leaving my desire on sync overnight (market is very slow after fresh install for me =/)

Very long process :P

OD supports ext3 for A2SD+. Some users have reported that they had problems with several A2SD roms because they haven't got a ext2/3 partition, or a ext4 which I don't think is supported on OD. This can slow a rom down severely, as the phone is looking for the sd-ext partition.

Final mention would be setCPU itself.

Saying this, I have had issues with the performance scaling or whatever it is called... the "interactive", Ondemand, powersave etc.

I dont trust interactive scaling atm (had alot of FC on Pinkys and OD 3.5), as it seems relatively new, and still has some kinks.

Sticking with ondemand, with a sampling rate of about 20k and a CPU threshold of about 85%, I have pretty good performance. I have found that upon starting up setCPU on OD 3.5.2, the settings are 20k/11% which could be your problem.

Tried now GeFrost, well the apps icons panel ( 5 pages long...) when sliding again had freezy/laggy feeling....I've wiped GeFrost and installed LeeDroid rom with Sense UI, Now i feel good again :) I suspect that "none sense UI" Simply not for my touch and feel style... Sense UI feels much more smoother just like DJ droid rom i had...

So my CPU isnt damaged and could not get damaged from what I did... right?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Your CPU could have been damaged from overclocking - I'm not saying that it has been, but there is always an element of risk when you overclock.

If you really want to overclock, my advice is to always start low and then incrementally increase. If you get to a point where the phone starts to become unstable, drop the speed back down a notch.

Furthermore - not all CPUs are made equal. Just because someone else manages to overclock their CPU to 1384MHz doesn't mean that you will be able to - it's just the luck of the draw.

Dave
[Desire General] rommark:
Hey,

Thanks for your answer.

Well on regular clocks its not freezing up to the level where I need pull off the battary...Something that indeed happened to me on OD with OC.

So far LeeDroid rom works smooth.

How can i find out if my CPU got damaged?

Anyone else had such lock ups which needed battary pull off, with OC on Desire?

Thanks!
[Desire General] Danifamous:
Whenever you use a OC kernel, you run the risk of damaging the internals.

Non of the internal components are EXACTLY the same. Some can support lower voltages, some can substain higher Clockspeeds.

My lockups with OD is purely on the SetCPU settings.

Have you got a EXT3 partition on your SDcard? Because I see LeeDroid supports Froyo A2SD, while OD&DeFrost Ports are all LegacyA2SD

This may be the problem, instead of a issue with your internals, as the internals would most likely fail/rapidly overheat altogether if there was a problem.
[Desire General] rommark:
Well I think my desire is warm as usual... :) not warmer. Only time it was really warmer then usual. Was when i just installed the OD rom and market was syncing all my massive list of apps all together which i think caused CPU over work :) but thats was even before i installed set cpu and did any OC....

Anyways LeeDroid now works i think as smooth as DJ droid. without any OC.

As for your question about EXT3 How do i check that? could this cause the lock ups with set cpu while using OD oced?

thanks
[Desire General] Danifamous:
ext3 is a linux filesystem partition that you would of installed onto your SDcard, either by RomManager or Linux LiveCD/Linux OS

As your unsure, I'm pretty certain that you have not partitioned your SDcard. With A2SD+ (which are both on the OD and Frost roms), the phone is told to read Apps and delvik cache from the SDcard. This means no applications are actually installed on the phone, but the "internal" memory is now the ext3 partition on your SDCard.

Ext3 is required for both OD and De/GeFrost roms.

With this, it sounds like your CPU is fine, as LeeDroid is running fine, and that you are using Froyo A2SD.
[Desire General] rommark:
Thank you for your kind help.

Should Desire feels warmy in hand during its being connected to computer's USB?

Thanks!
[Desire General] Danifamous:
Yea, thats usual. There is still power coming from the computer to charge the battery, so its fine.

I've had my phone hit about 50 Celsius on several occasions, while I've fell asleep ontop of it while playing music, and so far, no visible damage to performance etc :)

Again, the issues with OD just seem to be based around the lack of a ext3 partition on your SDcard, so don't worry too much about the CPU being damaged.

Just be cautious in the future with OC, and never OC more than you need ;) It can drain more battery, and end up breaking your phone (in extreme cases).
[Desire General] rommark:
Thank you so much,

So indeed OD / Gefrost was an EXT3 issue (lock ups, super slow down and lock ups which caused battary pull offs). How can i confirm this?

While DJ droid and LeeDroid working smooth with Sense UI.

thnx!
[Desire General] Danifamous:
Only way is to reformat the SDcard, either with Rom Manager which is easiest (available for free on Android Market) or a Linux variant. This will remove all data currently on the SD, so back up everything ;)

Add a ext3 partition to your SDCard (swap size is unnessacary), and install OD/GeFrost.

There will be a major boost in performance compared to previous times.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrdy:
Simple question, I hope in the right forum, I'm trying to get into app development for Android and I've found some random guides around online, but none of them seem overly comprehensive on getting you started and where to go from there. I was wondering if someone could kindly link me to something of this nature.

TIA.

Hi all..

I am using handcent and when i click on the Speak button it shows a pop up 'Recogniser not present' whats the solution?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Just to clarify, you're pressing the little microphone, right?

Same thing happens to me...It used to work fine once I rooted my phone, but then about 2 weeks ago, I flashed it and rooted using a different method, and now it doesn't work.

Would also really appreciate a solution...
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Just wondering, but do you have the Text to Speech library for android installed on your phone? I use handcent too but I never get this message. You mean where it speaks out the text you get right? I haven't found a way to dictate texts though :p
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
My handcent speech thing works ok to dictate texts but as an extra if you use the HTC_IME keyboard the speech function on that lets you dictate a text onto handcent, not sure what languages it supports tho and both can be a bit random on the translation from my voice to text.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
It reads messages fine, I thought we were talking about dictating haha.

Ok so this is the scenario i have 2 computer at 2 different locations (Home and Office). On my main computer there is software which i would like to use on my another computer simultaneously. Like i am using the software on my home computer(Main PC) and brother wants to use the same software at our office, so i have created 2 users on my main PC and i would like my brother to use 2nd user to login remotely and use that software. Let me tell software has capability to be used at 2 place simultaneously.

Waiting for your help

Thankyou
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Omg is that so much difficult, ,, no reply yet.
[Off-topic] slaming:
umm, yeah its possible. all you need is a citrix server ( or similar ), i think there area few bits of software that do work on desktop machines. but i can't remember any of the top of my head. i know i have iraap for my mac, i will take a quick look for you now. But a quick warning if you wanting to do this over the internet. its going to be much harder working out port forwarding ETC over doing it in a lan enviroment. so you possible could use hamachi. ok i'll get back to you in a bit.

and yes this is quite an advanced thing todo. what your technically trying to do is create a server in which multiple members can connect to and do things simultaneously. so your not going to want to do this very much as it will cause a reasonable amount of strain on your system and certainly slow it down. if you are going to do this alot i would recommend investing on a cheap server
[Off-topic] slaming:
ok check this out, fire me off a pm if you need any help. i'm happy to help
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Unless your computer is setup as a server (or hacked to allow so) you're only allowed one desktop connection at a time?

Please someone correct me if I am wrong?

Edit: NM, people replied whilst I had the page open without refreshing....
[Off-topic] slaming:
just thought you might be intrested. i believe normally a windows machine will allow remote desktop connections, which means you can control the computer from another machine, very much similar as vnc. but a terminal server (citrix) allows multiple users to connect and run completely seperate sessions, but there are program that run the services needed to run terminal server witout a full blown server operating system.

just thought i would clear this up for you ;)
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
I udnerstand that part, but as his PC is likely to be a standalone windows enviroment, and with him working on it, his brother will not be able to log in from the second location, as standard, due to that policy. I know there is a dll that can be hacked to allow it though. I have an understanding the RDP side, but he is using a windows machine not a terminal server/virtualised server etc, so from my perspective, his question was is it possible as is, not how do I make this possible by throwing money at it.
[Off-topic] slaming:
no these are completely free peices of software that require no dll hacking, they create there own server services that replicate terminal services.
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Thanks for the help slamming, but i must tell you i am a noob concerning this.

I have checked out the link. Can you be more specific without all the jargons how should i go about achieving it,i would be really grateful.
[Off-topic] slaming:
ok well, what your are wanting to create is a terminal server, this is used alot in enterprise and it allows multiple user to connect to the same machine and use all the same applications and share data. But in enterprise they will use a machine called a thin client, this machine will boot straight from the network and connect to the terminal server. but you aren't going to want to buy a thin client so you are going to have to download another application on the second computer. but we will come to that later. what i think would be a good idea is if you were to read up on terminal services, terminal servers and maybe even thin cleints, as i think you do need to be able to understand the majority of the jargon that is going to be used. i would recommend you don't under take this task if you don't have quite abit of time or aren't confident in your IT skills
[Off-topic] samy.3660:
Ok i will learn it by tommorow all i could about terminal services, and do you think if there is a software available which will be able to this, preferably free, or if not i wont mind paying for it.

Thankyou.
[Off-topic] slaming:
alright then while your learning about terminal server, i will begin looking into software for you for both ends both server and cleint.

Version 0.5

Made because of bootloops. Must have been something odd that had happened during encoding, the apk went from 3.5MB to 2.2 or so. Ended up re-doing a lot of it anyway to narrow down exactly where I had gone wrong.

So. That being said, I believe I have fixed the problem finally. And it gave me a chance to go through and change a bunch of stuff to be better I think. Without further ado, let's get to it!

Here are the files:

Services.Jar - Transparency Fix, White Text

BlueSteel-v05.apk

BlurPhone.apk

Changelog:

v0.1 - Changed Status Bar color, clock colors

v0.2 - Changed a lot of icons and XML's

v0.25 - BROKE!

v0.3 - Fixed bootloop problems, Made blue colors "Better" made high contrast icons, including re-doing some entirely.

v0.4 - Almost fully skinned the status bar now. More refinements, started changing menu selection press / hold etc, will do keyboard and buttons next build!

v0.5 - Skinned phone dialpad and a bunch of text changes, and minor changes to other images

v0.6 - Fixed the rest of the textboxes so that all textboxes now are readable no matter orientation or location.

Plans:

- Finishing the status icons and buttons/menus etc.

- Adding status icons

- Maybe custom app icons? (select apps)

- Browser (maybe)

- Pandora, Audio Manage, Switch Panel (stuff I use)

Instructions - DO NOT USE ROOT EXPLORER!!!

- NEW STEP: Download and save file to computer. Rename to framework-res.apk!

- Copy the files to the root of your SDCard

- Download your current framework-res.apk to your sdcard as a backup

: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\backup\framework-res.apk

: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/fwbu.apk

: adb pull /system/app/BlurPhone.apk /sdcard/bp.apk

- Type the following

: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
: reboot

- After the reboot

: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
: reboot

- After the next reboot

: adb shell
: su
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/BlurPhone.apk /system/app/BlurPhone.apk
: reboot

You probably don't need to reboot twice, but it's the safest way to do this I've found. Any problems, let me know!

Try these lol..... it's smoothtaste blue and some other keyboards to add up!!!

To add these open them up uninstall current then reload... just go in the same mod... just when you see the uninstall or the launch choose the uninstall..

Then go back into the mod that you want your keyboard to look like and install.

Then go into your menu and go down to your keyboards and make sure you mod is checked.

Then go to your message or search field and press and hold the blank space, and choose the mod dot. And bam you have a new keyboard.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] temp_222:
Hello,

I've been trying to read up on flashing ROMs to my HD. It's all very technical, but I'm slowly picking it up.

It looks like most ROMs suggest doing a Hard Reset. How does one backup the data on the original ROM?

Will I be able to restore all programs previously installed, and some other settings like Windows Messenger saved contacts, and phone contacts?

I just don't understand how some people flash new ROMs every few days -- I assume there must be some good way to backup and restore data?

ALSO, my main reason for flashing a new ROM is to increase the speed of the phone. If I flash to a Windows 6.1 ROM, will the speed incrase be noticable? Will it work as fast as, say, Blackberry OS on a new Curve, or an Android OS on the newer HTCs?

Thanks
