There is no difference if frankoid's one is based on the stock source, too. That is why I do not want to open a new thread for that - it would be useless.

The wifi module within my package is there because I do not wanted to risk some incompatibilities (even if there shouldn't be some).

I did not tested all modpacks but I have the powersaving-modpack installed and I did not noticed error messages. To be sure you should have a look into the log messages (dmesg output, e.g. "dmesg | grep error" or something).

Reflashing shouldn't be necessary.

Like mentioned, there should be no difference to other stock kernels.

But if you wish some changes that would make things better that others do not already have I could implement them or make a series of kernels (stock ones and modified ones) within the frame of Teppic74's ROM.

Btw, how to check if A2SD was installed successfully ?

There is a thread detailing a method using connectbot and a number of commands to issue to find out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677073

Within this thread however someone suggested using a free market app called "Quick System Info" which once installed shows you the size of the A2SD storage and how much is still available.

Hope this helps.

I think you are already seeing why Teppic suggested opening a new thread because people are now asking questions about this update rather than the orginal subject that Teppic started, meaning there are now 2 'answerers' on the thread.

In any case I'm guessing that people will want to know when in the series of updates, that Teppic outlines in Post 1, can this update be applied? Also given that many folks (myself included) have applied Teppics rom with various updates, what needs to be re-applied when your kernel update is appalied?

Cheers

Ok, so I think I understand it now but before I screw things up...I'll ask it..

#1 Can I use the kernel posted by "The Fallen" and not loose any of the mods from Teppic? (I think so but I would like an answer just to make sure)

#2 In case answer #1 is "YES", can I install the double trackpad tap ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=703539 ) posted here without loosing any of the previous "goodies" from Teppic and The Fallen?

Tks

EDIT: is it just me, or the trackpad double tap unlock is for 2.1 only? doesn't it exist already for froyo?

Teppic, your mod has grown to require a proper hosting for its files. Maybe use any of those file storage services that despite testing our patience (or wallets) are quite stable and generous.

I reckon rather than splitting the pack, you should just host the new version on multiupload or similar and provide a link?

Update boot animation

First of all after installing the tweek the animation of the phone stop and only the image with the word HTC written in green with white background shows up in the phone start, after trying to update the /data/local/bootanimation.zip nothing ever change, I have tried also to make a copy at system/media using application called android mate but nothing worked at all, I have also tried boot animation changer, no luck also

Now I am pretty convinced that I do not have a write access to system/media and the system never read from /data/local/
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
If you install the tweak mod correctly it works fine, and of course you don't have access to /system on a running phone (unless you have used the S-OFF hack).

Sorry to be a pain, but is there going to be an updated version of the new Youtube and Maps apps to flash as I am running out of space.

Even better...does anybody know how to convert the standard apk file that is downloaded from the market to a file that you can flash to update the system?

[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
I updated MAPS from the Market and did not see much of any impact on my System or internal memory, checked before and after and internal memory went down my maybe .5 mb so I can live with not needing a flash update.

I appreciate all of your hard work Teppic, thanks for providing what I consider to be the most stable of all of the custom Sense Roms - longest one I have used since rooting my phone and bouncing around for a while try out different ones.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Odd - face detection with the still camera seems to be working with mine. Can't say about video as I've never used it.

In fact the tweek is working as the wake on optical joystick press (as well as the power button) is working, but replacing the data/local animationboot.zip does not make any change

Back on this rom (+ deodexed, a2sd+ etc.) and everything is peachy. I've been using RCMixHD for a while, but I was longing for 100% stability and a working camera.

Anyway, now I'm using this stock rom again with "Black espresso Mod for Sense 2.09" and RichardTrip's Sense kernel OC@1113 MHz (Quadrant score 1500+) and I'm lovin' it. Thanks a bunch.

I've updated the update_apps mod. It now contains the latest Maps app. In order to make some space, I've removed Facebook, since all the rest are standard Google apps.

I will create a separate update package for those who want system updates for Facebook and YouTube.

edit: Installing the latest update will not affect your previously updated Facebook app, it just won't update it for new installations.
[Desire Android Development] Electrocut:
Thank you very much for your great work :) Update much appreciated

Edit: it's strange, Maps is still in version 4.5.1 after the update. I will check that tomorrow...

Maybe my /system has run out of space.

Edit 2: my fault, I flashed update 1.4 instead of 1.5 :rolleyes:

any updates on the face detection issue? anyone else have it? can it be resolved?
[Desire Android Development] Znuff:
Hi.

I'm having some weird issues with 2 applications lately after rebooting the phone:

1. Swype. I always have to go back in settings and re-check the Swype input method to be available. Can't figure out why.

2. Switch Pro Widget. After each reboot, I have to re-install the application to get the widget back. Each time I reboot, the application remains installed but the widget dissapears, forcing me to reinstall it.

Anyone ever experienced such issues?
[Desire Android Development] GonsioR:
1. I've got the same problem with other 3rd-party keyboards.

Thanks for all the work on this rom its really appreciated! Been using it since day one and it is awesome no reboot or force close.

[Desire Android Development] Znuff:
Actually I fixed my issue with Swype, but I still have the issue with SwitchPro :-(
[Desire Android Development] bg_man:
I also have SwitchPro and I need to remove and add widget just when I update the app. Why don't you try to uninstall the app and clear its data and then reinstall it?
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I'd like to know that too

I flashed the upated rom then powersaving mod and updated apps.

Can i flash the sd speed fixing kernel safely? And have i to reflash powersaving mod?

Also i'd like to know if the rom creator tried the kernel and if he suggests to flash it or not.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I've been using this kernel for a few days now with no problems.

the-fallen has a separate thread in this forum for discussion of this kernel, so that would be a good place for questions about it. However, he did post in this thread that you should not need to reflash the powersaving modpack.
[Desire Android Development] cris-:
as reported in some other threads, it looks like the max read ahead is tunable through sysfs, e.g.:

echo 128 > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

seems to improve the SD speed for me ...

@teppic74:

why not including this into one of the existing packs?

edit: using /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb should do as well ...

What's the best way to implement this automatically at boot?
[Desire Android Development] cris-:
I've pushed a script (50mmc_readahead) in /system/etc/init.d while in recovery:

# set mmc read ahead

echo 128 > /sys/block/mmcblk0/bdi/read_ahead_kb

... which could be easily included into a package, I suppose ;)
[Desire Android Development] uridium_uk:
Sounds like you aren't using app2sd+ and are manually moving the apps to SD. I had the exact same issues with these apps running from SD but not using app2sd+

Install the app2sd+ mod and re-install the apps. The apps will think they are running from Internal memory not SD card and will work fine.
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Cant get A2SD+ to work

I installed the v2.0 rom with init.d script and downloaded and flashed the A2SD+ mod v1.4 via recovery. File was downloaded from Post #688 by teppic

I have also created the ext3 partition using rom manager (512MB ext3 0MB Swap)

However, the a2sd+ does not seem to be working. My internal memory is again going low. down to less than 100MB after installing a 4-5 apps. Also doing a cd /data/app and ls -l /data seems to not show any links to sd card

What am I missing here? is the 1.4 version merely an update and not the actual A2SD+ script? If not from where can I get it to enable in this rom?

Install 'Quick System Info' form the Market. (Free app) This app will show sizing on all volumes including the Ext3 partition so you'll be able to see if the Ext3 partition is being used.
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
edit: Double post
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
I think that refers to the filling of data partition /data/data. But in my case I think even the /data/app and /data/system are still not pointing to sd-card

Hi, yes I used quick system info app, but the A2SD says no information. Also the disk command gives the following output

sh-3.2# busybox df -h /sd-ext

busybox df -h /sd-ext

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

df: /sd-ext: can't find mount point

I think rom manager did not create the ext3 partition properly. I have tried to create the partition 4-5 times but it still is the same...
[Desire Android Development] uridium_uk:
Ah know we know the cause.... It's a known bug that Rom manager ext3 partition creation doesn't work properly. You'll need to use something like acronis disk director for pc or a Linux machine (or live cd ) to create the ext3 partition
[Desire Android Development] westy4096:
Awesome work - thanks for all the effort!

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Yup.. Acronis disk director solved the problem. Created a 1GB ext3... Now I have all the apps I had previously and still 113MB free :)

Strangely, few apps keep disappearing after installation to ext partition. I did a clean wipe->rom flash->a2sd script v1.4 flash->install apps.

ES File explorer was working well intially. Then suddenly there was no icon (in apps list, last used apps list, widget list, application manager list etc..) only the text was present. Thinking it to be some icon cache issue, I rebooter the phone and then it said that there was no reference for ES File explorer on the phone and now it had a default android error icon.

After sometime, the Disk usage app became the victim.. when I selected the app, it said no reference found even though it was working well just an hour back. And this morning, it was the turn of google voice and google goggles...

Randomly the phone forgets that some apps are installed....and I have not mounted the sd card as disk drive and still notice this issue. anyone faced such issues with a2sd+??
[Desire Android Development] uridium_uk:
I think it maybe down to the size of the partition you have created? 512mb (no swap) is the norm....
[Desire Android Development] DomFel:
Teppic the 2.29 WWE Rom is out... Maybe you might have a look to it... ;-)
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I saw you removed faceboom from update apps.

Is possible a separated zip to update facebook to latest version?? (it has a HUGE step forward, with places, no more browser redirection ecc...)

I'm out of space so i can't install from market...

Second, just a question for all the users out there.

I'm using this rom with powersaving modpack, sdfix kernel and setcpu to underclock to minimum with screen off.

The radio is the one you suggest in the first post.

I have a giant problem of battery drain. I mean, i lose 10% of battery in less than 1 hour with no data, no wifi, no bluetooth and screen off. Not to mention what happen if i really start using the device, like surfing some web pages, playing some games, doing phone calls, listening to music (gps navigation is the worst thing possible, it kills my battery in 2 hours more or less).

I can't finish a working day (i mean 12 hours) with a single full charge if i do something more than just keeping phone in my pocket.

Already tried battery calibration (several times).

The battery charge at the maximum mv value possible (don't remember the number, but i compared it with other people values on a thread and it is right)

I'm almost sure the problem is in the rom, considered that A LOT of people consider this radio as one of the best in battery terms...

For example, a friend has a n1 (same battery as desire). He lose 20% of his charge while i finish mine. I know they are different devices, but are pretty much identical (he use a sense rom too)...

I'd like to have some feedback from other users to compare the situations. And some suggestions for possible solutions.

By now radio update or downgrade is not a way i want to walk. Too dangerous via recovery, seems ok via fastboot, but you need s-off, and s-off is too dangerous too.

Thanks in advance

NOTE: I'm keeping the extreme powersaving modpack as the last resort, cause i prefer not to cut down performance to save battery... Underclock cpu when battery is at 80%, for my device means always underclocked.

[Desire Android Development] byngo:
I changed from recommended radio to 5.10.05.17_2. It's better than before but I still wish it was better, haven't tried many others.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Are you sure you don't have some rogue app running in the background? With the powersaving mod, SDfix kernel and the standard radio mine will lose 3% overnight rather than 10% per hour. Now I live in a strong signal area, and any phone will drain fast if in marginal coverage (especially if it's swapping 2G/3G frequently), so if you are in a fringe area that might explain it. But I'd suggest looking at what is actually draining the power. Try the old *#*#4636#*#* in the dialler to bring up the "tester" application and look for battery usage->partial wake usage in particular. There also also apps which can be used to monitor cpu or power usage. My guess is that you'll find that there is something which is stopping the phone actually sleeping.

Note that with the powersave mod you don't need to use setcpu to underclock with the screen off - it will do that anyway.
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I already monitor power usage using current widget. On screen off i am between 3 and 9 mA.

At home the signal is poor, but i keep data connection off, so there is no switching from 2g to 3g. And battery drain is similar when i'm outside...

Partial wake indicate music and android os, no "strange" apps..

I really don't know what to do. To flash another radio scary me.

Btw, thanks for the infos, the one about setcpu in particular. I'm going to uninstall it
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
I left setcpu on my device, just didn't run it on startup and didn't enable any profiles. Kept it in case I wanted to tune, change governors, etc.

I had no idea what my current drain was, so I've just installed current widget to test. Now I'm actually running a different kernel today (been testing one of the RichardTrip kernels), so it's not a direct comparison, but I'm seeing a screen-off drain of 2-3 mA.

So while your drain seems a little higher, even the worst case (9mA vs 2mA) is much smaller than the difference in battery life we see - 10% per hour vs 3% in 7 hours is a factor of 20. So there's something here that I don't understand.

(I've not been testing the current kernel long enough to make a strong statement on battery life, but my overnight battery life last night was similar to what I got with the kernel you are using, so I expect that my current figures above are also similar to what I'd have seen with that kernel).
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I just don't understand how can two identical devices behave so differently...

But 3% in 7 hours seems just impossible.... maybe in flight mode, and i still hardly believe it.

When i wake up in the morning i disconnect my desire from ac, with the led green. After 20 minutes of screen off and no data connections (only gsm) i drop to 90% (and this trend does not change during the rest of the day, is only slightly mitigated).

Maybe my device needs a holiday at htc labs?

Maybe you should take a look here if you have battery drain:

Please note that with your rom and the included version of facebook, syncronization isn't working (at least for me)

I really hope the new version will fix this problem
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
There are a lot of variables here. I generally overnight GSM-only (don't need 3G when asleep), data and WiFi off, don't have any apps or widgets set to auto-update (don't even have social networking apps running on my handset), and am in a strong signal area (line of sight from my bedroom to a transmitter a few hundred m away). So my overnight usage really is just ticking-over at minimal clock speed, and should be about as good as the handset can give without, as you say, using airplane mode.

For all I know it might even depend on the network - if different networks ask handsets to handshake with different intervals that could itself make a difference to battery life.

Tried with a 512MB ext3 and no swap and the result was worse than 1GB ext3. Apps keep disappearing more often (even without re-boot and USB mount). Infact the problem is pretty acute that i have gone back to non-a2sd+ version and then internal memory is full now :(

I am not sure if the issue is with the ext3 partition or the a2sd+ v1.4. I am suspecting ext3 partition corruption for the missing of apps. Now i dont know what to do :(
