I can't remember exactly where I read it but I think the necessity of keeping the loop device is so the first partition can be mounted as usb storage or something to that effect - I'm just quoting that from memory as I don't see how it works in practice..

So until the Data2ext script is rewritten/tested with an ext4 2nd partition and ext2 loop device then the recommendation is to format the 2nd partition as ext2 and then flash the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
1. Actually the first version of ownhere's script had an ext4 as 2nd partition and an ext2 loopdevice. Then he changed the loopdevice to ext 4.

After many ppl got issues he enabled journaling. And i dont think thats a good idea. The filesystem will be completly save but there is much more stuff writen on sd. A good explanation can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6179444&postcount=4

2. It doesn't matter if your 2nd partition is ext 2/3/4 or even fat since the script only checks if you have a second partition (mmcblck0p2) and if a file is present wich is added on installation by the ROM. If this is the case (and it should be if you made the partition right) then it creates an ext4.

BTW: i just editet the script to use ext2 for both devices. I'll reflash the ROM now and make a post about what and why i changed it.
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Could you please help me on how to prevent the trackball from unlocking the screen?

If i'm not mistaken the file HtcLockScreen.apk you provided us on your 1st post, is for that reason? Right?

But i checked the /system/app with root explorer and the file is already there.

What should i do? Tap on it and then from the pop up menu select 'install'? I'm with the v.0.13 rom.

Thanks in advance.

[Desire Android Development] elburna:
I second that question especially because of the fact, that it seems to shrink furthermore (i only have 14.8 MB left by now...). Guess this is the data partition but why does the free space decrease and does it stop at a certain point...?
[Desire Android Development] viva.fidel:
Push it to system/app via adb in recovery and reboot

android.process.acore FC

Installed 0.14 yesterday and saw an update today.

Just tried flashing but after reboot get android.process.acore FCs. Renders phone unusable.

Installed over 0.14 without wipe. Problem still existed after dalvik wipe. Can't handle going through phone set up again so restoring to 0.14 for the meantime.

i'm trying to use the Gparted from ubuntu to partition my 16GB SD Card, but it says "Daemon is inhibited". why is it? i cant delete, i cant format, and i cant unmount the card. any help?
[Desire Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
does upgrading to 14b from 14 wipe ext and delete apps?
[Desire Android Development] brandoo:
Had the same problem after restoring - which was a pain... had to wipe, reflash and reconfigure, so tried 0.14b and so far it's great :)

Out of curiousity, whats the easiest way to backup and restore all your phone settings (widgets etc)?
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
do you run as normal user or as admin?

try starting gparted from command line with

sudo gparted

(will prompt for your user passwd)
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
i run it as normal user i guess, cuz i booted it using the usb. i always partitioned my card(8GB and 16GB) using it normally. like the one i wanted to do today.
[Desire Android Development] tekillo:
Hey guys, came back from miui and installed 14b with data2sd and full wipe today. Everything works fine, over market it installed all my apps back then with my backup pro I overwrote them plus data. Then some hours later I saw, that updating apps over market or androitpit didn't work. Tried to installed new applications by market and apks but nothing works.

Does anyone have a solution?

[Desire Android Development] annewbie:
Flashed V0.14b but got tons of FCs after 1st reboot... Any idea?

Thank you in advance.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
My 2-cent opinion.

Here are my following observation after trying data2ext version of both 014 & 014b :

* It's very, very stable.. as long as you wipe *all* data *and* sd-ext partition. You *must* wipe sd-ext partition. those using RA-recovery will notice that wipe data/factory reset *will not* wipe sd-ext and it's the root cause of many failed installation

* 013 used to have htc sense / htc hub connected, but from 014, i didn't see them at all. Anyone knows why ?

* Wipe dalvik-cache always fail... spectacularly :) i mean, that everytime i wipe dalvik cache to install theme, it will fail to load in the next reboot, completely fail, to the instance whereby complete wipe & re-installation is needed. I'm using RA-1705 recovery. Even wiping dalvik manually will cause complete freeze. My advice : Do not wipe dalvik :) i manage to install new theme without wiping at all and reboot twice after that without any bad effect

* i haven't tried the new data/local bootanimation yet... i want to let my phone stabilized first, after so many wiping / flashing for the last three days.. i may say it was under recovery 80% most of the time :)

again..thanks Robocik :)

Battery

Hi everyone this is a massive thread and have not gone trough it yet. By the way awesome work on theROM! I wanted to know if anyone is experiencing hight battery usage? When viewing the battery info most of the usage goes to display but I have set all the display setting to the lowest. I can't even run trough a day without having to recharge.
[Desire Android Development] Flashmaniac:
then you are doing something really wrong. and get coutechskernel right here in this forum 28hours + since I took out the phone from charging now still got 49%

and stop playing video games xD
[Desire Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
i find the rom to have poor battery life. i'm switching back to v13 as data2sd can some times be sluggish when loading few apps.

now also trying ext2 as i read is faster then ext3

anyways battery was bad on v13 but much better then v14.

with leedroid i get full day use but not with RCMix but i like HD rom so...
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
That is funny...I came also from Leedroid and I can see no big difference in battery life.

v14 has definitely better battery life than v13...I dunno where did or how did you mesure the battery..

on v13..about 2% per hour on standby...on v14 about 3% per 2 hours.

I didn't use EXT3 as many reported problems are there on EXT3 for this ROM.

About the apps loading time...hmmm...well....perhaps slower than Leedroids, but I just compare this based on my subjective brain memory...and my memory tends be...well you know... I have bad memory and all...hehehehehehe

I read that HTC had signed a deal with TomTom so that HTC Locations would be powered by TomTom from October 2010. Why do I see "Powered by Route66" when I fire up HTC Locations on this rom?
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
it could also have somthing to do with the lib files for the meda codecs, has anyone tried just copying the lib files from a desire rom?
[Desire Android Development] AndroHero:
the map provider is dependent on your location
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Thanks for the hint man :) gonna try it out when i wake up... has slept 2 hours, but need two more... ;) hehe

To all with FCs, i had it also once, dont know why it happens... but if get those, please reboot to recovery and try to either wipe the dalvik-cache and reboot, that should do it, or simply try to wipe and reinstall the rom again, that should do it too...

see you soon...
[Desire Android Development] WeeJockMacFeegle:
I thought that in the UK HTC Locations was going to be covered by TomTom. Am I incorrect?
[Desire Android Development] lick_the_fish:
I'm confused. I have flashed 0.14 and it is super smooth, no lag (except when writing to SD) and no fc except the occasional one when trying to do about 5 things at once. No reboots or anything.

[Desire Android Development] matttye:
Are they one of the kernels in the original post? If so, which ones? I can't see names next to them.

And to flash a new kernel do I just flash an update from zip or is it more involved?

Does the new version of the rom have an updated kernel? I might just update the whole thing :p

Thanks a lot :)

Bad news

Hi! Yestaday I flashed v0.14 rom and everything was fine. The battery level was about 80 when I went to bed :) I have not heard the HTC's alarm this morning. Phone was switched off. When I tried to turn it on it showed a message about low battery and went to bootloop. I charge it for hours but without success: low battery message is lost, but still bootloop. Tell me please, what could it be?

[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
ok i'll be using the old fashion one since the Data2Ext wont install for me. What if i wanted to change to Data2Ext for the new releases? do i need to wipe and re-do from scratch?
[Desire Android Development] m_primdahl:
Yes I have this too. And have had it for some time.

My last 2 roms are V08 and V13 of this great rom.

I seam to remember someone else writing that it might have something to do with not broadcasting the SSID.....

I'll have to test that some time today myself. :cool:

Other then that I've only found one thing that annoyers me.

In location, when I activate the map and GPS to see my location "live"

If I set the map to direction up instead of North up, it's like the map drifts out of sync with the compass. Like It can't update the direction right.... :confused:

Anybody else seen this?

But this is a GREAT rom nonetheless!!!!

[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
finally! successfullly installed this ROM. and i dont think i'll ever use themes anymore. i love the skins! haha!!!! but i'm using the old fashion one~~

Got a few questions;

1) What if i wanted to change to Data2Ext for the new releases? do i need to wipe and re-do from scratch?

2) how do i change the Bootanimations?

3) how do i change fonts? i have some flasheable fonts, do i flash it normally like i did?
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
In 014b, you can change bootanimation by writing to data/local. I just tested it and it works

+1 to fonts changing. Does this 014b work with martino font changer ? How do i change font ?
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
People reported many problems with v14, which I do not have even with v13.

I wonder if several things are missed during installation.

Please do some check list:

Did you wipe all 3 of:

1. Cache

2. Factory reset

3. Davlik cache

Do you really have already an EXT2 or an EXT4 as primary and a FAT32 also as primary?

Have you recalibrated the battery (if necessary)?

OC only with small steps first.
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
Can anybody please explain this for me thanks
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
your phone will see your EXT also as phone internal memory.

Caches and apps will go to EXT instead of the real internal memory.

It is like you are having the size of your EXT as your internal memory.

This way, you can install everything you want as long as your EXT can holed'em
[Desire Android Development] m_primdahl:
It has already been talked about within the last 20 pages or so.....

Something about how the ROM sees the internal memory or something.

Search for the post. I'm still on V13, so I didn't read the post careful enough to remember it.....

Ups. not quick enough. And the other answer is much better ;-)

[Desire Android Development] Petesky:
I was using v0.13 with my sd card still having only a 512mb Ext which was done when I first got my phone,

And it was running really smooth ,just a little greedy with battery,

I re-partitioned my card to 2GB Ext2 and installed v0.14 Data2Ext but find it can be a bit laggy,

If I move 2 v0.14b can I just flash this over the top or is it better to do

a full wipe

[Desire Android Development] melethron:
This isn't a bug its a feature !!!!

Yes im for real. No i don't mean that battery drain is a feature. I mean the display stats. It was a bug on older Version (dont know if its froyo in general or only sense roms) that the usage of display wasnt shown right. Still dmesg reveals:

<6>[ 1641.298370] batt: 49%, 3815 mV, -4 mA (-155 avg), 30.1 C, 665 mAh
<6>[ 1691.355773] batt: 48%, 3791 mV, -214 mA (-197 avg), 30.2 C, 662 mAh
<6>[ 2652.291503] batt: 43%, 3737 mV, -416 mA (-431 avg), 29.6 C, 590 mAh

Those 4mA are phone idle and display off and the 214 mA is phone almost idle and display on (set to ~35%). And the -416 mA drain is on 100% CPU load with screen on and full brightness. No difference for me to other Roms. PLS note that i have SLCD. Might be different values on AMOLED.

You can check it with "adb shell /system/bin/dmesg | grep batt" with adb over wifi since it is charging when conncted to usb.

If you don't know how to do this you can also use "dmesg log" in "quick system info" app or "current widget" app.

Battery was only an issue for me on v13 due to a bad kernel (CPU Usage from nowhere). If you use v13 flash a new kernel (im quite happy with snq's 2.2f Kernel).

May I have your attention please

for fellows newbies who have been asking about:

Should I wipe before flashing a rom?

Wiping is for me a must to prevent unwanted bugs.

I don't wanna even try flashing completely new roms, and new rom releases without first wiping.

I think this is also the best way of flashing roms (not add ons).

I am also noob in Android thing, that is why I always wiping before flashing.
[Desire Android Development] zytho:
I would like to know too... to do the ext2 fix. can we flash 0.14b if we already have 0.14 installed and then apply the data2ext2 fix?
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
Hmmm...a flashable fix...

hmmmm....

I am on it this evening.
[Desire Android Development] zytho:
Didn't work... same issue. Mounts fine. Pushes fine. but doesn't change the animation.

I simply push the .zip to /data/local right?
[Desire Android Development] pablodu20:
thank you very much from France. It's an incredible rom and a wondefull work
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Yes. Do a wipe (just to be sure) flash and then flash the zip afterwards.

But as i said i didn't test it much. Ext4 with journaling (thats as it comes with 0.14b) is much better in preventing corruption and thus fc's. Consider my zip an alpha version.
[Desire Android Development] tsiftsism:
Thanks for your replies.

But as i wrote HtcLockScreen.apk already exists on system/app.

I'll just push it into there via adb in recovery, it'll overwrite the old one and that will do the work?
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Did you modify the zip in any way?

Hmmm, can you mount /data in recover and check with adb if there are any files present?
[Desire Android Development] zytho:
ok great, will see how it goes..

back to the bootanimation issue. I must be missing something... i have pushed it to customize/resource in recovery also just to make sure, as well as to data/local/

Still just the stock HTC bootanimation. Any ideas?
