Thank you Ownhere for this lovely port!

A question for the developers:

Lets say an S-Off bootloader is released, and all ringtones and notifications and wallpapers are deleted, can you (the devs) make an update.zip that will fit in the Desires flash without using an ext-partition?

I can't believe we are back to the G1/Magic days when devs tried to port the Hero's rom. You'd think 2 years later things will be different :confused:
[Desire Android Development] millab:
Just installed on my Desire. First time i booted it just sat there in a loop on the boot screen. Rebooted to bootloader and cleared storage. Now working fine.

Main issue i am now seeing is:

Freezing when trying to use GPS

My Radio is:

32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23
[Desire Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Can anyone please please please give me a noob guide on how to adb to phone? It's been a long time since I did it and I've been trying for the past 3 hours now :(

pretty please? Step by step for everything including the stuff I should know..
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
2nd that.. but it seems that the syncronization works anyway? just the web dashboard that cant be reached
[Desire Android Development] tickmaster:
kingofthebraves: Man, I will give You my advice. If You cant do it, leave it be.

All problem is that un-tar is not working always. I had to extract system partition for 6 times until it was correct. You must watch all files extracting. Last line should start with leter Z, extracting alphabetically.
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
how can i get into recovery mode? because Vol-Down + Power button wont work for me anymore.
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
well imho, in htc roms is a lot of crapware that can be deleted and still have a full sense experience, so this should be the last problem
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
Isn't it because of the amount of internal space available on the Desire Hd compared to ours?
[Desire Android Development] predogo:
downloading the fourth time. i always get an error extracting the file (file is corrupt) is this normal? how do you extract it?

win7 33bit
[Desire Android Development] rvdgeer:
Come'on!

No need for this...

[Desire Android Development] JonasKP:
yo! just wanted to tell that i met the FC thing on HTC Stocks... an app i NEVER use anyways so i removed it with some other ones and it works fine now... Awesome job!
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
For noobs, better use Android Commander + Clockwork and mount the partition via clockworkmod recovery, is pretty easy, gui only and user friendly
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
okay i got a big big problem. I installed this rom and everything except the camera worked for me. I used Rom Manager to get into recovery and tried an other radio. Since then i am stucked at the "static HTC Bootscreen" not the one with "quietly brilliant" just the static white Bootscreen with green HTC logo. Everytime i waited like 20 minutes.

i pulled out battery without success. When i try to boot with Vol-Down + Power to get in to recovery... nothing happens and i am coming back to the static bootscreen. So at the moment i can do nothing. Btw my Desire was rooted with unrevoked and i got newest clokcwork recovery flashed. If i only could get into recovery menu i could get rid of this problem. I am out of ideas :( ... anyone?

[Desire Android Development] justinkb:
hm, this is a nice update, but won't HTC just release the new sense for old Desires as well, once the HD is out? although the new sense ui might be a selling point for the HD, i think they would lose a lot of goodwill from their customers if they don't backport the new ui.
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
one can hope, but this is not how htc rolls. im happy they released froyo to desire. They ussualy release a phone, and take care of it 6 mounth then they release a new phone and forget about the old one. They manufacture and sell phone, software is a bonus
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
I got that to.. maybe then its the mirror's fault.. pick another upload-site..

it wasnt a regular corruption, since I could read the content of the zip, but not extract it...
[Desire Android Development] FoRmaTiTo:
What's frustrating for me is that I just bought "HTC's flagship", the Desire, a month ago, and now I'm already chewing on my fingernails hoping my phone will get another update :rolleyes:

I'm not too optimistic for official Sense-updates. I remember like yesterday when Asian HTC Trinitys got WM 6 and my European one didn't, and ten people inquiring into the matter with HTC customer support got thirteen different answers, and in the end, there was never an official WM 6 upgrade. And the Trinity was also one of the best PDAs (when people would still call smartphones PDAs) on the market at the time.

Meh.
[Desire Android Development] mr.r9:
Yes the Desire HD has bigger internal storage but that doesn't mean they need to fill it up! This current scenario happened a while back in the G1/Magic era and we had the same problem...Anyway I hope some talented dev can do this because the sd card is just too slow to have a consistent experience.
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
Same way I do anything on system has I haven't used adb since I first rooted.
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
Hope so. They did release sense 2.5 onto the Touch Pro 2 after they released the Hd2 with it on so they may do.
[Desire Android Development] predogo:
tried rapidshare, mega upload and depositfile with no luck. :-( i will try again and again until I perfectly downloaded the file. Is there a torrent link?
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
update fix GPS FC at the 1st post.
[Desire Android Development] mess8888:
thx for great works and waiting a flashable ROM ;)
[Desire Android Development] Cuchulainx:
Am I imagining things here, how do you get the grey HTC pull down bar/dock?

Edit: should've read first post, ignore this please.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Anyone got a video of this running? And do you have to have the stupid themes as in the screen shots? I just want stock Sense
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
thanks for the GPS fix :D So far I'm reaaaally satisfied. Hope camera will come also :) And maybe more speed
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
was thinking.. is not possible to delete most of apps to reduce required space,then make a flashable zip with these removed apps that will be installed in sd ( cause a2sd+?) and so make a flashable zip only with the rom? or the space always will be more than available?
[Desire Android Development] anonym-er:
has the smoothness of browser scrolling improved compared to official froyo sense browser?
[Desire Android Development] tickmaster:
Chrome to phone not working.
[Desire Android Development] PhysX:
Not bad so far, but i will wait for some flashable rom with fixed bugs.

Btw is that fastboot thing just some kind of standby wake up or is it really a faster boot?

Sent from my Nokia 3310 using black magic
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
is an hybernation. would be nice to use a tester to see how many energy it consumes during the "power off" state
[Desire Android Development] tickmaster:
Power of from 22:00 to 8:00 (CT-Czech Time), probably no battery drain.

All battery meters were at same level when power of and on
[Desire Android Development] ratchetnclank:
Working for me. :)

Try moving it off the SD card?
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
mmm would be very nice! sure that wasn't only a "display" bug?
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
+1 You have thought with the amount of users that have said they have it working would have made a video showing it in action, even just for the kudos of running new sense on an "old" desire :p
[Desire Android Development] Pzykonaut:
Impatiently waiting for a flashable zip :)
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
This is GREAT! I love the new features. Thanks alot. I've one small request, is there any way to get the vanilla lock screen?

I've tried to remove it with:

# adb remount
# adb shell rm system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk

But that fails, I can adb pull it without a problem but I get the error "Directory not empty"

Any help would be wonderful.
[Desire Android Development] Picarden:
Excellent release!! Haven´t been this happy for my Desire since i first bought it! For daily use (except taking photos and what not)..!

Great work! Thanks!

Ps. I was amazed when i selected English from setup and it chose Swedish with full translation..! DS
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
Try rm -r
[Desire Android Development] zHk3R:
You're in recovery with system mounted, right?

Remember Desire doesn't have full root, so you have to mount /system.
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
Ps haha it now sees my phone as a HD
[Desire Android Development] Cuchulainx:
Sorry, being a noob here again. I can't find the HTC skins on the market as per the OP and the RUU is an .exe, how do I extract the skins from that and where do I push them to on the phone?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] peterfeter:
anybody can help me?
[Desire Android Development] stefanve:
Thanks, works perfectly

great how-to , easy to follow
[Desire Android Development] Furma:
when is the official release of Desire Z?

i want the landscape sense UI

dont know why it doesnt come with Desire and Desire HD

i have to use launcherpro cause 90% of the time i use my mobile horizontaly..wish sense had this by default :F
[Desire Android Development] Beaverman20:
i am not a noob to programming, so i get what the problem is (running from the sd-card), but mobile devices are not my strong point ;D What does the S-off do, what is it exactly?
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
It gives FULL root
[Desire Android Development] typhex:
can you guys login to HTCSense.com from your phone. I try to add my htcsense account, but it keeps trying to connect to server
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
Thanks, managed to remove the lock screen (had to mount it in clockwork recovery's settings)

1 small thing, is it just my Desire or is there something up with the geomagnetic compass?

I'm trying to use Compass from the market, however it ALWAYS says "abnormal magnetic fields detected please calibrate" I calibrate and it still doesn't work.

Only a tiny issue mind. As the term goes "I'm happier than a pig in ****." All the new options are fun to play with.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Is it not possible to create an update zip? Definitely could make one to copy all the files to system, ext and sdcard. Just not sure about the other commands. Busybox installed and use that too?

I think it's possible.
[Desire Android Development] febelus:
loooooooollllllll :)
[Desire Android Development] djboulette:
maybe a nandroid backup?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Can someone split the download into 2-3 parts please? I want to try making an update.zip for myself.
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
Did you tried gps update patch at 1st post?
[Desire Android Development] stewart30:
Just want to keep an eye on this. Can't wait for update zip. Awesome work guys.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Can an update script be made with some sort of "run_program PACKAGE:script.sh" for the commands we need to run other than mounting and copying etc.
[Desire Android Development] R.ik:
I don't have succesfully installed this rom yet so I can't say, but perhaps the severs aren't up yet because the phone is not for sale yet and they're still working on this.
[Desire Android Development] pulser_g2:
In theory yes, though someone would need to write the script to do so, and it would need to be identical for all devices (which I presume is feasible).
[Desire Android Development] zHk3R:
:D

I got it up and running!

Will report back when I've tried it out a bit.

Thanks for this!

EDIT: Oh my ****ing Jesus ... It even changed the status bar - The scene option thing. Jiiizzzzzzzzzzzzz*
[Desire Android Development] sr1ks:
Alrite, i have done everything, been seeing that HTC is Quietly Brilliant since that last 10 minutes.....

Feeling something might be wrong with the radio version, might have to downgrade?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Yeah i reckon it is doable. I'm stuck with a dongle on only 2 bars of signal or stolen wifi with 1 bar of signal though so can't even download the files to have a crack yet!

Must borrow someone's internet!
[Desire Android Development] sr1ks:
Installed everything fine, but having issues while booting, its rebooting on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen.

Desire SLCD with Hboot 0.92

and radio 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08.zip

Any Suggestions Please ????
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
which what app change colours of theme bars? :S
[Desire Android Development] xangma:
Framework-res?
[Desire Android Development] anko184:
Can someone please upload the skins that were removed from the rom?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
I have installed it but I don't see any place to change colour of bars..? in what menu/app u change it?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Nice.

10char.
[Desire Android Development] MacCarron:
From the menu that pops up whan you press what used to be the "+" button on the dock bar. I've been going through the complete dump files and i can't figure out where the skins are..perhaps inside rosie?
[Desire Android Development] samleung:
Chill guys, the flashable zip comes out when the devs have done looking, modding, and tweaking it.
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
ownhere: maybe you could post which radio you are using and what's in the rom (apps, settings) and what's working or not. I know you said camera was not working, so everything else is working ?

btw great work! Really appreciated! You're the man! :D
[Desire Android Development] Beaverman20:
Attention all newbies:

i will be making a tutorial shotly, as soon as some has confirmed this working, i will start up my camera and go for it ;)
[Desire Android Development] NickChaplin:
from what i have read i dont think that will be possible as the Desire HD ROM is a lot larger than the internal storage on the original desire.

Maybe someone can hack the hell out of it and make it smaller?
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
seems rooted,as the autor said here
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Bloody hell, have some patience!!

Anyone thinking of trying this should have a sound knowledge of adb and know how to get themselves out of trouble should it go wrong. I, myself, will be staying well clear of this as I have no idea how to use adb (nor do I want to know) and will patiently wait for a some proper ROMs to emerge (probably Paul over @ MoDaCo)
[Desire Android Development] Beaverman20:
Uhh and OP could you give directions for extracting form the leak RUU? i always end up with an error trying to open the data.cab >__> :S
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
just downloaded so it tell you if its working in 10 mins :D
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
Downloading now.

Existing sd card is ok, right ? Or is it better with a clean, repartitioned one ?
[Desire Android Development] bradputt:
wow, my download speed is 20kb/s

gonna be a long wait...............
[Desire Android Development] Skimi:
Make it 2!
[Desire Android Development] golf60:
Big THX @ownhere...

Great work !!!!!!!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
wow...very interesting.....sounds good...will try it...

many thanks ownhere ;)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Downloading it right now! Slow but I would be able to wait a couple of hours to get it =) Thanks a lot !
[Desire Android Development] d0msen:
Megaupload seems to be the best :)

downloading now with ~250kbit/s from Megaupload, just a suggestion for everyone experiencing very slow speed :)

btw, it might show "file not available atm" just hit F5 a couple of times and it will work!
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
i keep getting errors in adb like

/sbin/sh: tar: not found :confused:
[Desire Android Development] wph:
Think I got it up and running in 5 minutes. ADB is fairly simple, did only use it months ago to root my Desire.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Anyone wanna record a video of it running?
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Downloading.. Thanks:)

Any Quadrant score btw? :D
[Desire Android Development] python08:
Think I'll wait to have a better internet connection (only 1Mo per s....)... Because it's tooo slow.....and it stopped downloading..
[Desire Android Development] sr1ks:
if anyone is stuck on the rebooting white screen, doing a factory reset might help you sort out the issue,

Wipe Data from the Menu again
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Uhm...maybe I have deleted this apk.....

Anyone knows what apk is it?
[Desire Android Development] wph:
The Slate skin is simply an apk: slate.apk in /system/app
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
/system/app/Wood.apk,Metal.apk,BlackBoard.apk,Slate.apk
[Desire Android Development] MacCarron:
Ok i'm officially a moron. I was looking into framework,resources, you name it. Couldn't make 2+2 :p:p. Thanks for waking me up ;)
[Desire Android Development] Herrlich:
Locations, etc.

What about these Functionalities?

youtube.com/watch?v=GHO9A9Zf5g8
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
But I don't have these apk's on apps folder...:S (only Slate)

(I think in spain don't works htcsense.com to download themes)
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
these are from the desire hd rom in the ownhere.desirehd.system.tgz file:)
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
I going to redownload because these files doesn't appear....
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
I remove these skins for fit desire's /system partition.

You can extract these files from RUU, I post a HOWTO in the 1st post.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
i only see slate but no the others

edit: ok saw now the post
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
they won't be released until we can access htcsense.com
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Aham ok, if anyone could put these apks would be better, to don't stay extracting .img in windows.

Do you have tried anything with camera? I tried yesterday editing framework.jar...changing .so's, and changing .apk file, but nothing...
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
but someone has tried to port the "old" camera from 2.2 desire roms on the hd dump? or all files are different and so too much hard to have this working?
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
I have tried all now.. :S....
[Desire Android Development] Ireas:
So no one created an update.zip yet?
[Desire Android Development] ivicask:
Damn why is it allways the Camera..i would sacrifice GPS and Bluetooth for Camera.. :)
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
I have one, but first I like to try to get camera works...
[Desire Android Development] ownhere:
The key file is libcamera_client.so, replace it will lead to stuck on boot.

I think the file format is significant different from old ROM.

I try to baksmali HTCCamera.apk from old ROM, modify resource link for new ROM's com.htc.resource.apk, then smali back it.

push new apk to phone, same as original one, not work, but I saw old interface about 1-2 secs.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
ouch,this damn camera!

how many space does your rom take on internal storage? and,but I think yes, in your rom there is a2sd+ enabled to install all future apk in sd right?
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Me occurs the same, I saw old interface 2 seconds. I have tried to change this .so too, and gives me and error, ~ can't open android_servers.so :S (I have tried to changing android_servers.so, and the same error
[Desire Android Development] zHk3R:
Which sucks.

I'm guessing we'll have to wait a month?
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
yeah, guess so...
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
However Neo,is possible to have the flashable zip? i want to try something with the camera apps:cool:
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Yeah, later I upload the zip, I like to change some things on theme before upload.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
ok thanks:D we will wait for it patiently

You already got the other sense skin from RUU or yet waiting for these?
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
so this .zip will allow us to flash the whole ROM?
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Really it's new version of Aura, but it's ownhere base, with newsense, and almost everything that new sense has.
[Desire Android Development] predogo:
Finaly. Got it to work. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
included new apps and skins?? :P
[Desire Android Development] malctron:
Hope someone gets this to work because I'm not allowed a new phone and I really want this phone but obviously aren't allowed it haha.
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
it works

10char
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Really nice Neo! Please leave the phone button like the new sense (wood, metal and black) and put all your goodies from Aura in there :D)
[Desire Android Development] MacCarron:
Here's a zip containing the themes extracted from the RUU :D

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6419606/Themes.zip
[Desire Android Development] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Yeah, everything (skins only that comes with original)
[Desire Android Development] anko184:
Thanks man, although i managed to extract them from RUU with ownhere's instructions.
[Desire Android Development] mkchung:
nice try...but prefer a rom
[Desire Android Development] b3ndik:
long 'til the upload?

wondering if I should flash another rom meanwhile.
[Desire Android Development] HeadhunterJK:
Any idea when there will be an flashable version available?

Nice work though!!
[Desire Android Development] stefanve:
anyone that has exchange up and running I can send mail but it will not sync
[Desire Android Development] Herrlich:
Could someone test the wiimote bluetooth functionality when done?

Every Sense Rom had problems with it. Thx
[Desire Android Development] akirainblack:
How would one go about replacing the bootanimation.zip?

I've located it in /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip and /system/sd/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip

I'm guessing the second is the symlink as if I go to /system/sd it's empty

However if I try to go into customize it won't give me access :( I've even replaced it in the original tgz however I get an error when extracting once pushed onto the phone.

I only ask as someone made this

Which rather tickled my funny bone.
[Desire Android Development] templebar:
Excellent work! Installed super user, busybox & Titanium backup; restored everything and everything looks fine :)
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
Well Ive tested, but imo its still in an "alpha" stage. nevertheless its much more and better that I was hoping for. Still for me its too slow since I have the lame piece of **** sd card that came w/ desire. Class 2. Awsome work mate! Congrats
[Desire Android Development] ivarson_swe:
I think its been up here, but in case anyone missed it, if you're experience slowdowns in Market when browsing through apps like me, simply push the Vending.apk from another froyo-build and clear data for Market in settings/applications/all.. It immediatly speeded up for me, although I have to use MarketAcces to see paid apps again, but on the other hand i couldn't see apps locked to sweden, such as Spotify and voddler and so forth..
[Desire Android Development] alexdzn:
Does anybody can do alpha flashable Rom , please...
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
so far is impossible to make a flashable zip with the entire rom.. be patient,maybe will never come out one without the help of the micro sd..

btw the only "great" change is the new sense(with all features) that can be ported without big problems to all actual rom
[Desire Android Development] Kollegah:
got acces to htc hub and sense.com :D
[Desire Android Development] erto90:
can someone make a video to see how run on desire and explain some on features?
