You should be able to apply general update flash files to this ROM, so long as it doesn't rely on a particular type of kernel.
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
Yep, you are right. I flashed the DSP Manager and it works a treat.

One question...how do I control the power settings once I have installed the Powersaving Modpack?

Do I need to use SetCPU or is it automatic or are there settings in the ROM?

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
No, you shouldn't use SetCPU with it. The mod takes care of itself, there are no settings to change.

edit: the undervolt mod might not be completely stable yet, it might be better to wait a bit.
[Desire Android Development] scutworker:
Brilliant. This ROM is exactly what I need. Thanks for your quick reply.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Flash update mod added.
[Desire Android Development] Sir_Oliver:
Is this official wwe? Why there is no info on HTC site?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It's an official HTC ROM (it's signed) but it hasn't been released OTA yet.
[Desire Android Development] Sir_Oliver:
But it will be released by HTC?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I have no idea.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I don't know which ROM you were using before. However, the latest radio doesn't mean the best. The radio recommended in this ROM is the one it's designed to work with, so is always what you should try first.

If you use SetCPU on this ROM none of the powersaving options in the mod will work, except for undervolt.

Hi Teppic

I rooted my UK T-Mobile Desire last month and flashed the stock 2.2 rom found on one of the xda forums. I now have:

Software version 2.09.405.8

radio 5.09.00.20

Sorry to sound like a complete idiot but I haven't really done much rom flashing on my phone so just wanted to check a couple of things with you before I go ahead with this one.

1. Can I use the OTA upgrade that the phone keeps asking my to use to get to this newer version, and does this involve using a goldcard as my phone is de-branded? Am I correct in saying that I wouldn't lose data and apps doing it this way?

2. If i do a nandroid backup and Titanium backup, once I wipe the phone and flash the rom on this thread I shouldn't have any issues restoring the Titanium backup to get my apps and data back to where I am now (unlike the issues I had restoring after moving from 2.1 to 2.2). If I do I can just restore the nandroid backup to get me back to exactly where I am now.

Cheers and sorry for the complete lack of knowledge.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You don't use OTA updates for rooted ROMs. You can install this over the top of yours from custom recovery, no goldcard needed.

If you restore a nandroid backup you'll get your old ROM back.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
I was using the Ieftm's [ROM] Official 2.2 (HTC 2.09 and 2.10): busybox, A2SD+, TUN, EXT4, Undervolt, SYSRW , it's similar to yours but it was based on a previous version.

About the radio, for me the last one was the best even with that rom, so for now I'm sticking to it.

Based on your previous words, it's probably my fault along with setcpu that the juice isn't as it used to, so I will uninstall it and flash the powersaving mod again.

Will post back when I have some new results.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] mickey_a_s:
So I just change the rom name to update.zip and install it through recovery?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Don't rename any files. Boot into custom recovery and select to install zip from sdcard, and find the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] mickey_a_s:
Thanks. Will try this as soon as I finish work.
[Desire Android Development] blackcoffee85:
Installed with a few of the mods, including A2SD. Works brilliantly!

[Desire Android Development] sealskej:
Finally! I have uninstalled Gmail.apk with Titanium Backup, cleared data of Market and rebooted phone. Now I have linked Gmail app in Market :)
[Desire Android Development] mickey_a_s:
Thanks Teppic. Worked like a charm. Keep up the great work.
[Desire Android Development] robosky55:
First time rooting my phone, I installed your Rom with apps2sd+ add-on. Worked brilliant. No issues

Downloaded Download Stock ROM with Radio (2.0) - updated, how to remove radio from ROM (i know how to sign rom again ;)?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'd recommend the second ROM, it has no radio and is almost identical to the first but lets you run various mods you can't run on the first ROM.
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
So I can't run powersaving pack on first ROM(with radio)?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
No, the first ROM is really only if you don't want to run any of the mods. It's so close to stock that a lot of mods won't work on it. The second is best for most people.
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
OK, tnx for the answer, downloading 2nd one now ;)
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
Did you include in v2.0 latest apps, like Facebook, gmail, maps?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
That's all in the first post...
[Desire Android Development] hamdir:
I love this rom, the improvement are perfectly what I need, I don't like custom inconsistent ROMs

Just a question why a2sd+ I read in many places storing the Dalvik cache on the SD will further affect the access speed, since a2sd leaves the internal almost untouched it seems more wise to leave the cache on internal

Can't you provide both options? Thx
[Desire Android Development] omerta1988:
Hey teppic,

maybe you should put 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 radio with ROM because I can say that battery life is much better with this one.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Try using the fuse compress mod. It will minimise the impact of the dalvik cache being on the sdcard. It's not likely to have a huge effect though having the cache on the sdcard, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't really want to have two versions of AS2D+, it will end up causing confusion.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You'll find just as many people who will say it's poorer. I include and recommend the radio which HTC combined with this ROM. It's easy to try another if you want.
[Desire Android Development] theli:
is it possible to uninstall Reboot in Power Menu (external) addon only? it doesn't work for me anyway :/ and i dont really want to remove and setup everything from scratch :)

im using base ROM with init.d + tweaks + powersaving modpack + system Flash replacement + updated apps
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
It does clearly say that that mod is for deodexed ROMs... If you reinstall the base and the mods you had you shouldn't have to wipe your data or lose any settings, as long as you do it all without booting first.
[Desire Android Development] Barm926:
2.10.405.2-initd-rooted-stock-v2.zip + add_a2sd-14-signed.zip + powersaving-modules-g6a358a9-14-signed.zip + systemflash-11-signed.zip + teppicify-11-signed.zip + tweaks-12-signed.zip + update_apps-12-signed.zip :-)

After that: setup google account, install one app from market (Gallery 3D) and view some pictures ... (to compare amoled vs slcd).

Want to delete google account (to give phone to my wife). Phone "says" it's not possible to delete account (some apps beolongs to him :-) or smth. like that), so try to use "hard reset".

HR has been done ... and the phone gone to bootloop. :confused:

PS: Glory, glory nandroid! :D . But ... wtf ?

PPS: sorry for my english
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
As the information says, install tweaks before system flash to clear up some space first.

Perform the wipe in custom recovery, not via the phone's settings.

(Also, if you do a full wipe you must reinstall tweaks. Be sure to read the info on each mod)
[Desire Android Development] Barm926:
Sorry, don't remember the sequence of .zip install. Count them in alphabetical order.

This can be the reason?

It was 0.83 / 1.21.xxx SLCD phone. It was rooted .

After that install rom manager, partition sd card, reboot to recovery, full wipe everything, and then install ROM and so on.

Anyway - thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] theli:
yeah i know it's totally my fault, didn't notice it before :(

so i should:

1 go into recovery mode

2 flash all the stuff i have except for the reboot addon

3 reboot like i normally do after flashing stuff :) ?

thanks in advance, and sorry for the mess :D im kind of learning how to do all that stuff ^^
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
That will be fine. You shouldn't need to wipe before doing it, but if you do get any problems give it a try.
[Desire Android Development] Kvasirme:
Guys i've installed the rom, but i'm stucked on boot restarting at quiet brilliant screen, now i'm trying to repair with nandroid backup, what could be happened?

please help :(
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
You probably didn't wipe first, or you installed the deodexed mod and didn't wait for the long first boot up. You need to give much more information than that.
[Desire Android Development] Kvasirme:
Ok i've restored a backup and now i've installed only the init.d rom, waited the first boot and now it works.

Before i've installed the init.d + app2sd + power manager pack + circle battery + apps update and it has stucked on reboot screen.

Well, now i've installed init.d + app2sd + power manager pack + circle battery "-" apps update, it works. :D
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Not sure why booting first would make any difference... in every test I've done I've installed the rom and added the mods without any problem booting. But if it works it works!
[Desire Android Development] rusty27:
hi there..any pre-rooted stock rom of desire hd version for htc desire???

i used ur clean pre-rooted stock rom and encountered error wenever open contacts updates...how to fix it???
[Desire Android Development] peterme58:
hello friends i face one problem regarding the new update of a2sd+(1.4). everything was allright until i conect my phone with the pc with the swiftp programm then the program memory from 104 mb free went 84 mb and i don't know why. i reflash the mod but it seems not working....:(

does enybody else had the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] kielkiam:
I have not your problem.

106 Mb free also after (or during) running swftp

a2sd+ 1.4
[Desire Android Development] reidar.ostrem:
Thanks for your work! Installed the rom + powersave mods. Seems stable and no excess battery drain.
[Desire Android Development] foalsrock:
bit off topic question:

in theory, would your a2sd+ zip (including fix) be applicable to other roms?
[Desire Android Development] DJ H-Up:
WLAN-n Patch?

@teppic74:

Would be nice if you could also provide a WLAN-n patch/mod.

Maybe as an updated version of your cifswifivpn-mod.

Really looking forward to it.
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
I'm being a noob I know but can someone point me to where is the link for Download the modpack and tweeks mods in first post. Was going to do v2 init and add those mods along w flash remove/update but don't see links for them. Or are they in the actual v2 Rom?

Thanx
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
Never mind stupid me, found them on real browser version of page instead of on xda mob app version.

Sry for wasted post
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Some updates - modpack, cifs/openvpn and system flash - were lost, I will replace them later today.
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
Thanks T

Now happily running

Rom v2 initd

w. powersave and apps update mods

Are you likely to update the systemflash replace mod to the new 10.1.95.2 version and include the Teeter remove/space save idea you mentioned ?

Peace and thanks for a Brilliant set of Roms/mods/updates
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yeah - I updated flash to that version yesterday. I might provide a separate zip to remove teeter.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Flash update is now re-uploaded. It's the same version as yesterday so no need to apply if you did it then.
[Desire Android Development] Pizr:
I think this rom is awesome! Thanks for all the work! I love the idea that we have options.. it runs very quick and stable!

[Desire Android Development] 1+9+8+7:
Thanks for the ROM, works perfect, just what I wanted.

Only one question, I have auto brightness enabled, bt the screen seems to remain a lot less bright and more duller than it did when stock? It can be sorted by turning auto brightness off and upping he brightnss, but i like using auto brightness. Any idea why I am experiancing this? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Your screen brightness won't be affected by the ROM, just try turning off auto, raising it, then turning it back on.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Powersaving modpack 1.5 re-uploaded.

This version adds no features compared to 1.4, but reduces the installed size considerably.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Here is the CIFS/VPN update.

Changes from 1.0:

- Smaller installed size.

- Fixes error if you tried to install it when it was already installed.

(And I've managed to move house today and update the ROM, not bad going.)
[Desire Android Development] jacques_lem:
Hi

Thanks for the ROM

I installed initd v2 + app2sd, but app2sd doesn't work. I can't install any of my apps to the SD.

I partitioned my SD with ROM manager to have an ext3 partition of 512M and the rest of the 8G SD is FAT32.

How do I know app2sd+ is working/installed properly.

I also did a wipe before installing the ROMs

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Download Quick System Info from the market and look @ the first tab.

If you have a good working aps2sd you dont install apps on the sd. Aps2sd does it for you..
[Desire Android Development] jacques_lem:
Thanks a lot for your post.

According to Quick System Info, my A2SD storage is 457MB, of which 341MB is free. I guess a2sd+ is working properly for me.

Just to be sure, I also removed the SD card and rebooted and many apps were no longer accessible, so I guess, as you pointed out A2SD+ installs apps transparently to the ext partition of the SD card.

So which method saves more phone memory, A2SD+ on rooted phones or "pm setInstallLocation 2" on rooted/unrooted phones ?

I guess the limiting factor is, how much phone memory does each method actually require. It seems that even with A2SD (Froyo) and A2SD+ for rooted phones, still some part of the app sits on the phone memory.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Just let apps2sd+ do what it does best. Saving internal memory.

Pretend you never heard of pm setinstallLocation 2 or whatever. Just try to forget it..:D
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I have version 1.4 installed, am i able to install this one over the 1.4 or do i need to do a full wipe?

Thanks in advance.

I was wondering, is possible to deodex only the /system/framework dir?
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
odexed system apps would fail to load due to stale odex dependencies
[Desire Android Development] Loshia:
My favourite ROM! I really like the idea of having optional mods that change/enhace the stock experience.

Keep the good work :)
[Desire Android Development] styr:
Yeah, i`ve found out the hard way, restoring the backup as we speak:P
[Desire Android Development] benko286:
Is there a mod that will replace battery with %(same icon but jas % inside it) ?

I saw a thread once, but cannot find it?!?
[Desire Android Development] blackcoffee85:
5 days later and this is still the best ROM experience, not having any of the problems I had with MoDaCo! Highly recommended!
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I design the updates to be installable over earlier versions. That means no huge ROM download just because Maps is updated, etc.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
Many thanks :-)
[Desire Android Development] bubble:
After activating A2SD+, I only have 79M free on the internal storage:

Is this expected?

I have 30+ application installed.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
Yes, that's normal. A2SD only moves the app to the sdcard, not its data or associated settings. 79mb of internal storage is absolutely fine. Clearly Google Earth is caching a lot of data...
[Desire Android Development] bluppfisk:
Hi,

Thank you for your work. Some questions still though.

1 could you please write the date of update when you write updated next to a module. It's hard to tell if a version differs.

2 since this mod my phone drops the connection to my wifi ap every now and then but seemingly random. Is this because of the powersave pack? I'm sure that wifi uses less than hsdpa though. Also it doesn't auto reconnect to the ap.

3 if I install an update to one of your scripts or modules, what steps need I take? Wipe stuff? Can I somehow keep all my settings?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
1 - the mods and filenames all have separate version numbers.

2 - no, this couldn't cause that. It may be your radio version.

3 - see previous posts. You just install over the top.
[Desire Android Development] bluppfisk:
Thanks. Regarding 1, yes but it's not possible to see which one is installed (you cannot see the version number of e.g. your powerpack after it's been installed). Or can you? How? :)
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I'd recommend you just leave the downloaded zip files on your sdcard, then you'll know which version you installed, and if you ever decide to wipe and start again they're all there.
[Desire Android Development] Bl@ck:
Just askin... but is normal that with the "power saving pack" the phone is very laggy after standby? It's like it needs 2-3 seconds to return to normal, it's a bit annoying so i'm thinking on reflashing again but w/o that mod.

Mods installed: Power saving pack, dalvik cache 2sd and a2sd+
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The phone will have dropped to 245MHz to save power with the screen off, and it takes a couple of seconds for it to adjust. I haven't noticed it as particularly laggy though.
[Desire Android Development] fotoboogie:
20 hrs since last charge, battery still 70%, moderate usage incl web w flash, calls, touiter app etc, medium screen bright, wifi, 3g all enabled.

Rom v2, tweaks mod, apps update,

Battery Modpack1.5 unbelievable!!

Can't be beaten for stability, performance.
[Desire Android Development] jamesbrampton:
I have just installed the power saving mod 1.5 and after a few hours of use everything was great, but now every few minuets the stupid car mode enabled keeps popping up and crashing my apps :-( i had this happen before with another ROM and then i flashed this one and have been using it for quite a while without any problems until today...i am beginning to think its a hardware issue? is it possible to somehow remove this car mode thing or is my phone defective?

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I hope i have just found the problem myself?? in shortcut settings select car dock and untick the auto connect, i must have a dodgey usb pin?
[Desire Android Development] casca:
Teppic I have a difficult question...

I think I might be missing something here.

I was having a lot better battery life with the stock rooted rom with these manual mods:

-undervolt mod (undervolt-2.6.32.15-gf9c0527-20100907.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775997))

-perflock disabler mod

-setcpu rule of screen off lock at 245mhz (with ondemand governor)

How can this be mate?When i mean better, i mean arriving home at the same time as usual and having about 50% battery left, and with the powersaving pack 20% or 15%...

I can't understand, shouldn't your powersaving mod be even better?

BTW, i flashed also the Reboot in Power Menu (external) mod, but it's not working for me, anyone has the same issue?

thanks guys
[Desire Android Development] Dave_S:
If you did not do the Deodexed Mod before the Reboot in Power Menu mod then the Reboot in Power Menu mod will not work.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
oops...missed that part...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The modpack does much the same, but saves a little more power than that. So the change must be because you've changed something else.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
that is the weird part mate... i don't get it... i simply applyed the undervolt mod, the perflock mod and ran setcpu with the screen off settings... could it be that the ondemand mode does less consumption than the interactive/powersaving?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
If you applied my mods over the top of those, it will cause a problem. You'd need to remove the original mods or reflash the base ROM.

The interactive governor may use slightly more battery than the ondemand one, but it shouldn't be very noticeable.
[Desire Android Development] virgoman:
Dear @ teppic74 Automatic Brightness levels can we add? Would be great.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
I explained myself wrongly sorry. I used the mods without your powersaving tweak!

so the only explanation I can achieve is that interactive does indeed suck a bit more of power...about 30% at the end of the day in my case.
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I mean that if you applied the mods you describe, and then without removing them or reinstalling the base rom you applied the powersaving mod, you will have a problem.

The interactive governor is very unlikely to cause such a big change. I would guess you have installed another app, changed the radio, or changed some other setting to explain the difference.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
well, there is only one thing to do in order to check this out...how can I remove your powersaving mod back to the way it was on the original way in V2 ?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I haven't released a patch to remove the powersaving modpack, so the only way to do it is either reflash the base rom or remove all the files yourself.

I might add an uninstall option if there's a lot of demand for it.
[Desire Android Development] casca:
no need mate, can i just delete the files included on the powersaving mod zip file?

these files from

system/etc/init.d

01undervolt

04perflock_disable

05cpufreq_interactive

06cpufreq_powersave

07cfq

tks and sorry to bother you so much mate...
[Desire Android Development] virgoman:
POWERSAVING MODPACK (1.5) installed. But as there's a bug.

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Desire Android Development] casca:
well...this might explain my issue...what about v1.4 ?does it have the bug too?

EDIT: wait a minute mate, well...how can that be a bug if it is doing what is supposed to do!?

screen on...interactive mode enabled, cpu range from 245 to 998

if that happened with the screen off, well then that would be an issue...correct?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
I don't see any bug there. 245MHz to 1GHz with screen on is correct.
