Agreed, I have removed my updates.
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Yeah Im sure teppic will do it, but there's always 10-20 posts "pls update app packages" and I think teppic can concentrate on some other stuff then just wait and repack apps when they appear on the Market.

We're only trying to help here and to learn the folks how to do it themselves.
[Desire Android Development] raynerape:
Both updates are pretty stable on my device.
[Desire Android Development] uridium_uk:
Are you not running app2sd+?

I can't seem to actually get my internal memory under 90mb free :p
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
Hey sorry guys don't want to stand in the way of progress and yes learning to do these simple update packages ourselves will leave teppic more time for important developments. Just wanted to keep it on message with the great ROM we all enjoy.

In another note can I just remind people that a simple battery calibration (search htc desire battery calibration) does absolute wonders to battery life especially the 10-15% fast drian from 100% charged I read about so often on this thread.
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
I don't quite understand what the point in installing the flash replacement, updated apps mods..

I installed the mods and only saw a 1 MB free up on my internal storage. Is the idea that installing the mods would force these apps to be placed on the ext partition?

I only have install a modest number of apps and my internal storage is at 64 MB. Quick System Info reports that my A2SD storage is 457MB total, 302MB free. Does this sound about right? I was expecting to have more on internal storage as others have reported.

Also, there was previous posts in this thread about not using the USB connection to the PC. I did install 3 APKs from HTC Sync when the phone was connected via USB. Would this cause any conflicts with A2SD?

I also see some increased battery usage after installing this ROM and the powersaving mod pack. Not sure why this is occurring. My battery is calibrated so I don't experience that immediate 10% drop, but during the course of the day, (and having the screen off lots during the day), I end up having much less battery remaining than typical.

Help would be appreciated.

As echoed here many times, thanks teppic for a great ROM!
[Desire Android Development] mattics:
What radio are you using flyte? I had very fast battery drain with the latest radio, I am now using the one which comes on orange branded froyo roms, you can find the thread in the forums easily enough.

A question for anyone else on this Rom, what is your battery charging like? Do you charge to 100%, then drop down to 90% (or any other value) then back up as described elsewhere in the forum. Or does it charge up to 100% and stay there like I always remember on the Orange Rom and what I assumed teppics was doing before I flashed a different kernel to fix the SD card speed issue.
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
I am using 5.09.05.30_2, which is the same version that I was using previously.
[Desire Android Development] gseeley:
Install Google Earth :p
[Desire Android Development] mattics:
Nevermind I nandroid'd back myself to check it out.

The stock rom does indeed do what it is "supposed" to do and drop back to 90% before charging up again.

The kernel for this rom which fixes the SD card speeds and gpu+ seems to change this behaviour to only drop back to 99% and charge again. I am a bit dubious about the wear and tear on the battery with things like this...
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
I don't think teppics kernel has any modifications to change battery charging behaviour thats indicated in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841580

It's pretty much stock from what understand. Even the modified kernel with the sd card speed fix and gpu+ fix from "the fallens" thread says nothing about battery changes.
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
Where does it say that this ROM has the SD card and GPU speed fixes that you mention? I don't see it in any available mod.
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
I forgot to re-condition the battery after the wipe and flashing this ROM, which may explain the battery usage I was seeing. I have done the condition, and so far it appears that the powersaving mod pack is doing its job just fine!

Any thoughts on my other queries?
[Desire Android Development] Manj75:
Noobie here so go easy

I was eager to root my HTC Desire mainly to install a custom ROM that is close to stock and could install A2SD+ to get more flexibility on installing apps as I kept on running low on internal storage. I found this thread and I went ahead and installed according to instructions I found on broadbandengine site (could not give URL as I'm new).

Installing the ROM and Radio was successful and the phone booted as expected.

I then proceeded with installing A2SD+ v1.4 but failed to find any application of this name on the phone.

Is A2SD+ integrated part of the Manage Applications setting?

If so then some apps still have the Move to SD option disabled - I thought A2SD+ could move any app regardless. Is this not true - are there limitations?

How do I detect A2SD+ was successfully installed?

Btw - I followed the Step 0.5 in the instructions on broadbandengine site which is about preparing the SD card. I have a 32gb card partitioned with first 26gb FAT32 and 4gb EXT3 using MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] mattics:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819601 - This is the stock kernel from teppic's rom but with the fixes I mentioned applied.

Edit: Thought I would add that this gave me much improved speeds over the stock rom and even improved speeds over other fixes of the same nature. If you are going to stick with Teppic's rom I would suggest this. Would be good if you could get teppics with the tweaks, updates and this kernel already applied for one easy download *hint* *hint*. Though its not much trouble doing it yourself, and I understand doing that would defeat the point of teppic's near-stock rom.
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
You'll need to format and partition your SD card first. (of course make sure you back everything up first before you do this)

Read this resource for A2SD+ FAQ

http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/220627-faq-apps2sd.html

Follow this guide for the partitioning

http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/214346-noobs-guide-rooting-williamj1.html

You don't need to manually move apps to your SD card once you have A2SD+ it will automatically place them on your SD card, so you should move everything back to your internal storage once you have successfully setup A2SD+.

Download quick system info from the market to see if you have an A2SD partition.
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
So do simply flash the zip in that thread above, or do I have to re-apply all of the teppic's mods that I used?

(power saving, a2sd+, tweaks.. etc.)
[Desire Android Development] andy46:
Hi Guys i have the rooted my phone with Pre-rooted Stock Froyo (2.10.405.2) and have the radio version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.

Is this the latest version which is the most efficient for power saving and performance?
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
You don't need to reflash any of teppics mods when you flash the updated kernel. It'll work just fine.
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
Oh I wasn't talking about A2SD+, I was using Darktremor's A2SD, I manually flashed and installed it. Then I reflashed your rom to get rid of it.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Ok, if you didn't do a full wipe, there would be problems from things left over in the phone's storage. You have to do a wipe if you've done anything unusual at all to a previous ROM.
[Desire Android Development] MrFastXX:
Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that :D

I've of course checked the settings many times, other tricks from other forums as well - this probably is not an issue that should be addressed on this thread anyway.

If I need to wipe - as I probably will - I'll install the other ROM on the same go. Start from scratch.

Another day at work will be nicely wasted with this :p

BR,

-P
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Just do a nandroid backup, then do a full wipe and see if the problem is still there. If it's gone, that's your answer. Otherwise you can restore your backup and try to find a solution.

Since this ROM without any mods added is the same as stock, it's very unlikely to have any problems you wouldn't have installing the official ROM without root.
[Desire Android Development] MrFastXX:
Wasn't the ROM, as it wasn't supposed to be.

Weren't the settings either - same settings are used for internet connection and that was ok.

It was the custom Mms.apk file, that baby was only suitable for 2.1.

Found a Froyo one from one Japanese blog and now everything is fine.

Sorry for bothering,

BR,

-P
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You really should make it clear if you've hacked the ROM before reporting any problems with it :)
[Desire Android Development] MrFastXX:
My bad. Mentioned it there in the downgrade thread, but still.

I learned something. :D

Thanks again,

-P
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
This ROM has now been officially released as an update by HTC, which is good news.

Also I've bowed to requests and I'm releasing an update that will deodex the ROM.

edit: deodexed update now available!
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Can someone please tell me how to add the battery mod icon? I have tried installing one, but ended up in a boot loop :-( i have now restored and really want this mod to make the perfect ROM perfect.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Anyone have an answer for me?
[Desire Android Development] Michelle My Belle:
Reboot to recovery.

Do a nandroid backup first - If you're not happy witth the results you can restore your phone with this backup later :-)

Then flash this: -

http://www.mediafire.com/file/1pgl180mc1jkdq3/framework-res_teppic74.zip

This is the supper circle battery mod -version "B" (blue then green) from FightSpit - so no it's not my own work...

...I just used an old version "A" (which works on teppic74's first ROM) and then modified the framework (only the battery colors) using the links to create a new supper circle battery mod "B" frame work - (the battery colors I like) on FightSpit's post.

It works perfectly with teppic74's first ROM because I'm using it at the moment :) - don't know if it will work with the second ROM.

[Desire Android Development] Venator85:
Will this ROM update HBOOT? I currently have HBOOT 0.80.

Thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Many thanks,

what I am really after is a dark battery mod, i think it is "E"? I had it on another stock ROM but this one is slightly newer and as I said put me into a boot loop..
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
No, your HBOOT isn't affected.
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
Hello, thanks for your great rom, it's wonderful.

I have applied the Powersaving mod pack...is there a way to know if modules are loaded and working? With root explorer i see the new files/modules, but i wanna know if working or not, with an app/commands or else...thanks again.
[Desire Android Development] MightySashiman:
:D how kind :D
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
As long as you installed the second ROM and only the mods in the first post it'll be working fine.
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
Yes, i have installed this rom: 2.10.405.2-initd-rooted-stock

And the PowerSaving Modpack 1.2

So is it ok then?!

Ah i had setcpu installed...i removed it since it's no more needed, right?!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
SetCPU is more elaborate - this modpack gives a good set of powersaving changes that don't cause performance to drop. You should still be able to use SetCPU if you want.
[Desire Android Development] Michelle My Belle:
Okay - simple.

Download the framework-res I posted a link to (above).

Then go to FightSpits thread: -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724778

Check the 2nd post for details of how to convert your framework-res (my one above) and convert it to the darker color version "E" using the links and info supplied. That's how I converted version "A" to version "B".

So you will be converting version "B" to version "E" - simples (if you're a meerkat :p).

btw, Why didn't I use the framework-res from teppic74's first posted ROM.

I tried this first but got a recompile error using the links on FightSpits thread.

Remember, Nandroid backup first. Then there's no chance of getting upset if you get issues...

Good luck.

[Desire Android Development] Manj75:
Thanks dinaroga

This is how I installed

1) I first partitioned and formated the new 32gb sd card - I created a 26gb FAT32 and 4gb EXT3 partitions.

2) Copied the ROM with init.d and RADIO zip files as well as the A2SD+ zip files to the FAT32 partition of the SD card.

3) Placed SD into phone and rebooted into recovery and installed ROM and RADIO with success.

4) Performed a full reboot

5) Re-entered recovery and then flashed the A2SD+ zip file and rebooted

I've installed Quick System Info and the A2SD storage tells me I have 3.91GB total, but when I install apps from the market the Internal Storage goes down.

Question:

1. Should I avoid installing 'apps 2 sd' applications from Market?

2. Should I avoid using the Froyo Manage Applications move to SD card option?

3. How can I tell what apps are going to the EXT partition? (I assume it is all apps installed)

4. Is there an application that will simply tell me what apps are installed into the EXT partition?

Seems A2SD+ is meant to just work but there is not nice front end to validate what apps are on EXT as opposed to what apps are on internal storage or FAT32 on SD.
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
App cache still gets stored on your internal memory but for the most part it should all be installed on your SD. Don't bother using the froyro APPs2SD function once you have A2SD+. Installing apps from market that goto your SD isn't an issue just move it back to phone. I'm not sure how you can see which apps are installed on the partition but 90% of the app size you install should be on there.

EDIT: So to answer your questions

1. Should I avoid installing 'apps 2 sd' applications from Market? Yes

2. Should I avoid using the Froyo Manage Applications move to SD card option? Yes

3. How can I tell what apps are going to the EXT partition? (I assume it is all apps installed) You should see your A2SD+ storage go down once you install apps. I only went with 512mb and swap 0 (thats way more than enough for me. but if you want more there are other ways to do it properly. just search on the forums.)

4. Is there an application that will simply tell me what apps are installed into the EXT partition? Not sure about this one.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
Hey guys,

flashed the rom yesterday (comin from leedroid 2.2f) to get a rom thats close to the stock one.

after setting up my default apps i noticed that my system memory (/system) only has 1,5mb left (from 250mb).

is this really common? just added the gallery 3d app to /system.

setup:

2.10.405.2-initd-rooted-stock-v2

5.11.05.27 radio

a2sd

updated apps

s-off
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
If you're coming from another rom you'll probalby need to do a clean wipe/repartition before you flash this. Of course backup all the data/things you need again before you do it.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
i did a full wipe, thought the a2sd-ext will be deleted and i could use it again (512 mb ext3, 0 mb Swap)
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Flashing

Seems some have some problems flashing this rom. I am using it for quite a while. This is how i did it and the results are as i wanted it.

Using the Amon_Ra recovery 2.0

Backed up my data from the sdcard.

Go to recovery

Format sdcard. Swap=0, ext=768MB [thats more then enough] remainder= fat32

Upgrade ext2==>ext3

Usb-Toggle on

Copy the rom, radio, aps2sd+ v1.4, tweak.zip to youre sdcard.

Usb-toggle off

Perform a full-wipe

Flash the rom, radio, apps2sd+ and tweaks.zip.

Reboot

Initial boot might take some time. After set-up [google-account] reboot the phone again and then copy the backup you made from the sdcard, back to the sdcard. Reboot again, and start re-installing youre apps from the market.

Check with Quick System Info that youre Apps2sd is working. After that,

Go with a file-explorer to the root on youre phone. Check /system/app. There you find the apps that are installed with the rom.

Goto /data/app. There you find the apps that you are installing or installed.

Goto /sd-ext. Ther you will find the symlinks that are on the ext3 partition from youre sdcard. You will find there app, app-private and dalvik-cache.

On first boot, i had about 137MB internal memory left. After installing 112 apps, still 98MB left. The decrease of internal memory is normal. Some apps just using internal memory! Google Earth and Navigon i.e.

Hope this helps
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
i guess internal memory isn't the problem. my problem is that there is no space in system memory / system storage (got german interface, so i dont know how its called in english version).

here are my stats (free/total):

sd-card: 0,94 gb / 3,21 gb

a2sd: 361 mb / 457 mb

internal memory: 124 mb / 148 mb

system memory: 1,50 mb / 250 mb

system-cache: 37,41 mb / 40 mb

main storage: 179 mb / 415 mb

the only one that got my attention is the system memory. flashed with clockwork btw.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Nothing wrong with the system storage or as you call it system memory. I have about 40MB left that never will be used. Its the rom. If you remove some apps you dont need from the .zip before flashing [apps like facebook, friendstream etc] You will see that there is more system-storage/memory. The figures you provided us are ok. Nothing wrong with it.
[Desire Android Development] f1st:
ok, thanks for your help (:

tried to delete some apps form /system/app this morning, but desire didnt boot up. looks like i deleted the wrong app.

another thing i noticed is, that live wallpapers doesnt work very well, got a lot of lags. already remarked that with leedroid, but with official, unrooted rom there was no problem. if this is not rom related, pls tell me and ignore the question.

thanks anyway
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Its not rom-related.

If you dont have S-off removing apps from /system/app wont have any effect. Removing apps shouldt best be done before flashing the rom. Open the .zip with winrar [open NOT extract] Remove the apps you dont want/need en close the zip. [just close winrar] Then flash the rom with 'verification off'.

And Yes, if you remove apps from the .zip or from /system/app you really shouldt be knowing what you are removing...;) Always backup or nandroid backup before starting
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
I learn something new every day, just have trouble remembering it the day after. :cool:

So can you simply add .apk's to the zip by reversing the procedure?
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Thats what i never tried. But why should you anyway? Having apps on the ext3 instead seems logical to me..;)
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Fair point, but I'd like to know if it's possible all the same. :)

At the moment I have an unbranded UK HTC rom (bought like that), I'm thinking of rooting and flashing to give me extra app capacity.

This rom is virtually a standard HTC Sense version which is what I want, but if it were possible to somehow remove the HTC dock and replace it with LauncherPro+ (which I've bought), then that would be very interesting. :) The HTC dock is the only bit of the Sense theme that I don't particularly care for.

It may not be possible, just thought I'd ask and find out. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Removing the HTC/clock-widget couldt be possible and is possible. However the result might be that other sense/related apps wont function good anymore. I am thinking of the alarm/function. The best way to find out, is to flash the rom as provided. Make a nandroid/backup. Then remove the HTC/clock and widget from the zip. Then flash the edited rom and see how and if its working. If not you are always able to restore the nandroid/backup
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
It's the dock, not the clock that I'm enquiring about. :D

I probably shouldn't have posted the question in this thread, a little off topic.
[Desire Android Development] UKseagull:
Thanks a lot for that :-)

If I install LP afterwards as suggested, won't that mean that it'll override all of the Sense theme and not just the dock?
[Desire Android Development] dinaroga:
Wondering whats the fastest Quadrant score ppl have gotten with this ROM my max is around 1300-1340... thats with SD card read fix and GPU+ fix.
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
No, you cant basically get rid of the whole Sense, since its so deeply integrated in the system framework. To achieve that, get a AOSP ROM. But this is basically having a Sense ROM with all the good things (Dialer, Contacts manager, Social network integration) without the lame launcher. So just install LP, press the home button after,check it as default and run it.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Ah, you ment dock [launcher]...:) I read clock. Shouldt be putting my glasses on wenn i read from the screen. But youre question is already answered...;)
