I will PM you shortly.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
It would be good to include an updater script that would delete all HTC apps and widgets. To make it a "stripped down" Sense rom that a lot of the chefs seem to make.

I'm sure you know what i mean.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'd like to keep this ROM close to stock, there are plenty of ROMs that are cut back. If you don't want any HTC apps then something like OpenDesire might be more suitable.
[Desire Android Development] omerta1988:
Keep going, I think that your project is great!
[Desire Android Development] aydahm:
thanks for this mod, I just installed it and it works quite nice, well done.

P.S. when formatting the SD Card, I accidentally erased the update.zip file, is it a necessary one? If so, how can I get it back?
[Desire Android Development] allinger:
- Teppic, old bean - I found your work most useful... Three pints to you:

1: salvage from a AMOLED vs SLCD dilemma

2: providing a root highway for the ignorant OTA-masses

3: resurrecting FroYo, in a new and better state

4: being an allaround good sport (previewing, I realise that 4 pints would have been better... Shame on me!)

[edit for stupidity] just realised that my pricing info was wildly out of whack... Anyways, appreciate the work done!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Thank you allinger :)
[Desire Android Development] s4vva:
Can anyone point me in the direction of an expresso bar, lock screen and call slider that will work with this ROM please? (I have deodexed). Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Do you mean the ROM itself? I have't labelled anything as update.zip. You don't need to keep any of the files downloaded for this once you've installed them, though it's a good idea to, just to know what you've got.
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
my guess is that it's clockworkmod recovery he deleted. no biggie though, if that's the case.

about teeter: go on. hate that game :D also, would you please tell me how to remove stocks, friend stream, footprints, news and peep from the phone? i don't need them and everytime i see them i feel bad thinking how much precious space they waste on my internal storage:D
[Desire Android Development] aydahm:
no I just meant the file "update.zip", is it a necessary file?

It is the one that we see in recovery as 'apply sdcard:update.zip'
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
can you check if you still have clockworkmod recovery installed? i think you deleted it.

you can check it in rom manager.
[Desire Android Development] aydahm:
OK thank you, i reinstalled it and now the file is back :)

Thanks for the super quick response as well :D
[Desire Android Development] rock3r:
no problem mate ;)
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Same thing for me. I really like all HTC apps but these apps, I really don't care and would like to delete them. Same apps as you.
[Desire Android Development] brainbowsix:
Hello,

Nice rom, but my htc desire restarts randomly. It's a problem with the rom?

Any fix it's avalable?

Sorry for my english :D
[Desire Android Development] DEGE:
Are you using the powersave mod? Get rid of it, if that's the case. It casued me same problem as you desc.
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Before flashing. Open [do not extract] the .zip on youre pc with winrar or winzip. Remove the apps + odex from the /system/app you dont like. Close the zip-file again and put it on the sdcard. Then flash the rom with verification turned off. Or in recovery use adb/sdk to remove the apps. Howto with Adb/Sdk can be found here.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You shouldn't get any reboots or freezes with v1.3 of the powersaving mod, though v1.2 caused that for some people. If you have any problems like that I'd suggest reflashing the updated base ROM.
[Desire Android Development] j5m:
v1.3 solve all of my freezes and reboots. Battery life is incredible.

Great job on the rom and mods!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'm updating the mod today to provide some frequency downscaling in low battery situations (e.g. less than 10% you'll drop to a very low CPU speed automatically). I just need to decide which frequencies and at which points to adjust.
[Desire Android Development] demercie:
Hi Teppic74,

I'm looking to get the RUU stock rom 2.10.405.2 but shipped roms is down, so would it be possible for you to make yours copy available somehow ? :)
[Desire Android Development] ikdedinges:
im trying to install the cirsle battery but after i install it everything crashes,

i also found a framework.odex on the phone, does this mean i cannot use this rom with a custom battery?

does it work for other people?
[Desire Android Development] Umklopp:
noob

Greetings. I am new to this community since I recieved my Desire just a few days ago. The phone was rooted and flashed with a custom rom. I have no idea if the froyo update was OTA. I am not sure if I need to downgrade with the following Softwareinformations:

Android:2.2

Baseband 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 htc -kernel@and18-2 #1

Build Number: 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys

Software-Nummer: MoDaCo Custom Rom r8 for the HTC Desire

Browser: 3.1

With a rooted ophone like this I just download ROM, copy to to SD and flash via the Boot, right? Do I need a gold card? (I assume not, but just to be sure)

Thank you for that ROM!!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
New powersaving modpack (1.4). Changes I've made:

Phone will perform better when plugged into a power source and the screen is on.

CPU max will drop to 800MHz when battery falls to 30%, 700MHz at 20% and 380MHz at 10%.

Phone will be locked at 245MHz when the screen is off, whether plugged in or not.

No changes to undervolt, the settings in 1.3 seem very stable and are retained.

edit: fixed update uploaded
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I'd like to test your powersaving modpack 4 but would like to know, if I don't like it, can I revert to the normal saving ?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can install 1.3 over the top of 1.4 if you don't want the new updates.
[Desire Android Development] virgoman:
We can install directly on to powersaving 3.1 Wipe data / factory reset to do?

@teppic74

cyanogen mod power widget Is it possible to apply your rom?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] mmaacc:
I think the widget itself eats more power than it would be able to save. Pointless addition, and the reason I do not implement such bells and whistles in my ROM.
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I know, but can we just go back to no power saving mod ?

btw I'm currently trying it. I'll let you know how I like it.

Thanks again for the great rom :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
There's no option to remove the powersaving modpack completely, but I'd recommend you have it anyway. With v1.3 you won't suffer any performance loss but you will definitely get a longer battery life. With v1.4 you will lose some performance when the battery is getting low, but not enough to make a lot of difference - at least until you're down to 10%, when you really should be charging anyway!
[Desire Android Development] Psych0Chimp:
About to have a go at this ROM as it looks right up my street, but does the power-saving mod make SetCPU redundant then?

Chimp
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
If you use SetCPU, you won't get the scaling features of this modpack. They both do similar things, but the features here are simpler.
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:
hi!

i've put this rom in my phone but now is unrooted...

why?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Are you sure you haven't installed the RUU this is based on? This ROM cannot possibly unroot your phone.
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:
i mean i can't use the apps with root permissions...

i don't understand why...

there is the superuser icon on the installed apps but when i open an app that needs root permissions the superuser app don't appears for the permissions...
[Desire Android Development] garfield-xda:
Керу weather app and widget doesn't update automatically. The checkbox just disappears immediately as I leave the weather settings page.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Icchan - I haven't seen that problem before. Try doing a wipe.
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:
k, thanks anyway
[Desire Android Development] Hrti:
Thanks for this wonderful rom, teppic! I much prefer a stock rom as base, and therefore this rom replaced my modaco r8 yesterday. Love the optional mods. Think I'll try out the powersave 1.4 mod to see how it works. I'm right when I understand that I can always revert back to powersave 1.3 by just applying the 1.3 zip file on top of 1.4? Once again, thanks so much. I'll paypal you a beer when my student budget allows me to ;)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, 1.3 and 1.4 are interchangeable. I think that 1.4 is a good improvement over 1.3 myself!
[Desire Android Development] Acidnator:
Gonna share a few experiences with this ROM from the past week or so :)

First of all, overall functionality with this rom is nothing short of superb. It's (pretty) fast, not blazingly so but I presume most hiccups can be blamed on HTC's browser mods, which is pretty much the only app I notice any slowness. Gotta love the status bar hiding though compared to stock browser, the extra pixels sure do a lot to the experience. Market installs work flawlessy which has been a problem for me with for example OD.

Battery life is nothing short of amazing, with 1.3 battery mod I've made through days with extensive use with flying colors. Just installed 1.4, let's see if it's even better :)

Only negative experiences I've had have been mobile network dying randomly, but that seems to be fixed with the new radio. Other major thing was Flash update completely destroying the phone once. I installed the 1.1 update, and first of all it froze the recovery totally. After rebooting, I got about every app force closing after entering PIN, and after clicking through the notifications, something called android.acore just went berserk and FC'd continuously. Lazy me didn't even make a nandroid first so I flashed the updated base rom and mods again, and the phone has been running happily ever since. Haven't tried my luck with the newest flash update yet... :)

The only negative with the rom for the moment is that I'm no longer interested in flashing every other mod daily because the phone feels so good. Dunno if I'm missing out on anything though ;) Maybe you could name the mod something like "Super sexy ultimate froyo experience 2.1337" so I wouldn't feel so bad telling my friends who also have the Desire that I'm running pretty much the same software that they are! I'm seriously losing my nerd respect here! :)

To sum up, I'm definitely gonna wire you some €€€ when I get paid on friday :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
There were issues with the early Flash updates. The current one should work fine, though to be honest you can just leave the stock version and update it from the market now anyway (this wasn't previously possible).

The mods I'm changing are all optional. It means that if you do want to update something, it doesn't mean a full wipe or a huge download. I've deliberately not given this a name or different wallpapers, nor am I listing any features that come as standard with stock froyo.
[Desire Android Development] malaga82:
teppic74, do you think is it possible to implement DSP Manager?

I tried some zips and work if only installed at every boot, otherwise i got a termination error on boot.

Anyway i think this rom is one of the best.

And i will pay you a beer as soon as i charge my pal account ;)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I think that things like DSP manager are too specific to include here. I'm also not sure about its stability, and I don't want any of the mods I include to cause problems.
[Desire Android Development] Skimi:
Is there a way to have full root on this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] Icchan:
found the problem for the root permissions...

if you put Deodexed Mod you lost it
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Did you install the deodexed mod after booting the regular rom? I think the mod still contains the old superuser app, I'll check.

edit: it does, I'll update the deodex mod with the newer superuser app.

edit2: That was the problem - the mod was overwriting the new system app with the older version. I've tested the 2.0 rom with the fixed deodex mod applied and it works fine. I've replaced the link in the first post with the new version.
[Desire Android Development] aydahm:
for that to work you have to install the deoxed file after flashing the rom, having framework.odex shows that it is not deoxed.
[Desire Android Development] aydahm:
I have a small request, it seems that there is a new version of Street View as well, can you upload that to the update file?

Thanks in advance...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Ok, I'll update it with that tomorrow. For some reason it doesn't show as an update in market (but still installs as one).
[Desire Android Development] qilong:
hi,

i'm using the v1.3 and i facing slowness when i'm listening music (using 3 aka cubed) and using the phone for fb and msn, issit because of the battery temperature getting high? i noticed that it hit 37.7 celcius.

thanks.
[Desire Android Development] kulik98:
Good work, thanks and beer for you :)
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
Just wanted to say i flashed my phone for the first time last night and after throwing on a few ROMS i eventually settled on this one.

Really appreciate that you've created a clean Stock pre-rooted ROM. Great work man, thanks!

Can i just ask 2 questions.

- For flashing the Mods. I realise that i must do this from the Recovery Console, but do i rename the mods and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" or do i use "install zip from sdcard" ?

- Also. My Hboot is 0.75. Is this a disadvantage in any way. Should i run an RUU to get a higher version?

Many thanks!
[Desire Android Development] kielkiam:
I am on v2 rom and deodexed by 1.1 : I have not the superuser problem described by Icchan :confused:

For my knowledge: is possible apply deodexed 1.2 if already deodexed by 1.1?

edit: I installed root explorer. At first run the superuser appeared to ask root permission. I answered yes (and remember checked) but root explorer says that have not root permission and close itself. At second run, root explorer work correctly with root permissions :confused::confused::confused:

......I don't understand...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You can apply deodex 1.2 over 1.1. If you have updated or deleted any system apps, these changes will be lost, so you will will need to reapply them before booting or wipe, as otherwise you'll get FCs. If you haven't changed any system apps you can apply it without any problem.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You don't need to rename them, just use the install zip from sdcard option. You shouldn't need to upgrade hboot. If you want to, my downgrade utility will upgrade you to 0.83.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Minor update to tweaks, not really necessary to flash if you have it already.
[Desire Android Development] the_rebel:
Just one question before I flash this ROM... how do I get Screen-On by Trackpad press?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Apply the tweak mod.
[Desire Android Development] Esired:
Should I update to Deodexed Mod 1.2?

Or is it okay to leave it on 1.1?

The "Reboot in Power Menu" Mod was successful.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You only have to update from 1.1 to 1.2 if you installed v2.0 of the base ROM and then later deodex 1.1, after booting the phone.

All new installations should use 1.2 though, which is why I've taken down the old link.
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
Cheers Teppic!

On another note - my battery seems to suck now. (losing 10% every 45mins). Do i need to condition the battery? has anyone else had to do that?

I guess i could try another radio too.

thanks again
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You need a 5.x radio, make sure you update it if using the 2.0 base ROM. I'd recommend this one for most people:

http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.zip

A radio update gives a worrying screen for a few seconds. Don't worry.
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
Yup. that's the one i have alright. I might flash it again in case it was a little flaky.

And if that fails i'll try the condition method i've seen in another thread.

Cheers!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Did you do a wipe before installing the ROM? If not you should try that.
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
I did yes. I did the data factory and cache wipe.

The radio got updated to 5.09.05.30_2 when i tried the MoDaCo Rom first. Then when i didn't like that i wiped and flashed this rom.

So i dunno, maybe flashing the radio again might help - do i need to wipe before a radio flash?
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
Is there any possibilty to make the boot.img smaller? I have bad blocks :(
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
No, the radio is stored in a different place. Give it a try and see what happens. You could try one of the other radios too. It is recommended though that you fully charge the phone after doing a wipe (for at least 30 mins after the light goes green).

Are you installing any of the mods?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I think certain bad blocks are normal. The boot image can't be changed, or it simply wouldn't boot (the format is very strict). Are you actually seeing any problems?
[Desire Android Development] SystemS83:
My Problem is that every Rom i try with the boot.img with 2.412 KB ends up in a boot loop. So i´m unable to use any rom instead of OpenDesire without Sense. Some Dev´s (like Pinky) released some Froyo Roms with sense with an boot.img smaller than 2.412 KB. But 99% of Roms here are about 2.412 KB and the other i don´t want to install :D. I wan´t install an "close to Stock" Rom like yours ;)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The boot image of this ROM is exactly the same size as the stock ROM it's taken from. The smaller one is probably because it's an older kernel. If you can't even flash an official ROM then you need to get HTC to fix your phone.

You could try flashing the RUU this is based on - if it fails too then you know your phone has a fault.
[Desire Android Development] kielkiam:
Thank you for your always fast answers and for all your work (and GREAT patience :D )........so I thought to offer some beer to you ;)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Thanks kielkiam :)
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
K - will flash new radio for the craic and see what happens. And then maybe flash back to this one.

As soon as battery is behaving "normally", i'll install the powersaving mods too. I've installed none of them yet. Will post result later. Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Package

teppicify (1.1)

Applying this will alter the information in 'Software information'. Obviously, you don't need to apply this unless you want that.

1.1: Fix problem if applied multiple times (thanks to Y.T. for reporting). There's no need to apply this update if you have 1.0.

update: v3 is for the v3.0 ROM. v31 is for the v3.1 ROM.
[Desire Android Development] clausro:
All the apps on the SD card are installed in .android_secure folder. It means that A2SD+ is not working? I have a 512 MB ext3 (or maybe ext4) partition. Is there a way to see what's on this partition?

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
If your computer is running Windows you can use an Installable File System to access Linux file systems on your SD card. Of course, if you are running Linux, you should be able to read the EXT3 partition directly with Linux. The Installable File System in this link can read EXT2 and EXT3 file systems.

http://www.fs-driver.org/
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Accessing your sdcard on a computer (using the disk drive option) is very risky with any type of A2SD enabled. You should take the card out and use a card reader.
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
Is not also unlikely that the USB connection would even export the EXTx filesystem over the USB interface? Removing the card and putting it into an SD card reader is probably the only way that the EXTx partition can be read, but I have never done it with other than a card reader so I really do not know?
[Desire Android Development] ninjakettle:
Ok, excuse the ignorance; but if i apply the POWERSAVING MODPACK (1.4), is that a bunch of applications that can be opened/uninstalled/adjusted etc..Or is it just that they're modifying underlying settings in the kernel.

Can the modpack be uninstalled, or does that require wipe\reflash?
[Desire Android Development] clausro:
I'm on Windows 7 x64, can't install that. I'll try to see the partition under Linux, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The phone directs the entire sdcard as a full drive to the computer (therefore all partitions), which is fine under normal circumstances as the phone unmounts the card first. If you have A2SD it cannot properly unmount the card, so you end up with two different systems accessing the same data at the same time, which is a *very* bad idea.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It's a set of changes that you have no interaction with - there's nothing to install or configure. You can't remove it (there's not much reason to), you'd have to reinstall the base ROM.
[Desire Android Development] clausro:
ext3 partition mounted under Ubuntu, I have apps in there too. I guess this means the ROM is using both A2SD flavors?
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
yes

[Desire Android Development] x3202:
yeah you're right. the apps in .android_secure are the apps moved with normal froyo app2sd. you just have to move the apps back to phone (settings->applications->sd-card).

you can prove if it works by checking if your free internal memory is still free (>80MB).

If your standard destination is the sd card you can change that with adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

more about this: google "androinica How to Install Apps to the SD Card by Default on Android 2.2 Froyo" sorry I'm not allowed to post links ;)

edit:

or just use the root explorer (/sd-ext)
[Desire Android Development] Y.T.:
I second that. Don't ever do that if you are concerned about the integrity of the card's file systems. Which suggests the idea that it would be good if a warning could be patched into the "USB-Connection" dialogue with the installation of the A2SD+ package. (It would however take the ROM farther away from stock.)
[Desire Android Development] the_rebel:
Thank you for the quick response, downloading now. Sorry I missed that in your opening post, shouldn't have bothered you with this query.

But here's a (noob) query that I'm not sure is earlier answered here. If after installing your ROM (and without installing Apps2SD+, I perform this procedure, would all apps go SDCard's FAT32 partition - even for the apps that didn't have that option added by the developer? And then I just move the LWPs and Widgets etc back to phone.

Thank you so much.
[Desire Android Development] x3202:
yes almost all apps. only some apps don't work (e.g. facebook for me)
[Desire Android Development] Y.T.:
Concerning "Reboot in Power Menu":

Quick Boot is an app that features a similar reboot menu with the options "Reboot" "Recovery" and "Bootloader" (needs root). Put on one of the screens it's just two taps to reboot. Maybe you would like to add this as a hint for users of the odexed ROM variant.
