I went from v05 > v07a without wipe and all was fine.

About to try v07a > v08 now, so ill let you know how it goes.

Its a new base though.

Edit: No go. Wouldn't even flash until I wiped.
[Desire Android Development] millab:
Can you elaborate on this for me? You got the camera working only in a certain app?
[Desire Android Development] biliskner:
Flashed 0.8 over 0.7a. Perfect, no wipe!

Will test all the way home on the train :)
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
Actually there is an error: "10-11 04:47:29.315: ERROR/WindowManager(425): return in removeWindowLocked"
[Desire Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Neo, I am assuming that you checked the logs while activating the camera on the Desire Sense ROM or the ASOP ROM's to see the difference?
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
De

Hi Neo,

For a while now I have been wondering about resolution - by default, the Desire camera sets itself to the max 5mp resolution on startup - if the HD rom is trying to set the camera to 8mp on launch, this could explain the black screen?

Is there a file or memory location that stores the max resolution or user defined resolution?

Thanks for the hard work and good luck with camera fix...
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Seems fine for me 07a to 08, no wipe
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Install camera360 on rxmixhd. ROM (07a) and same thing, no pic, no fc

I think I even ma.aged to take a 'pic' but instead of all black, it was all white
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
Nice try!

In fact the "error" line in the logs resides on the camera initialization...
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
it gave me this error after the V8 installed the same I happen to the instaled the V7 and V7a

E:error finishing BOOT:

E:Failure at line 101:

write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I think thats an interesting idea. Maybe baksmali the classes.dex from camera.apk and change the default res if its even stored here?

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Been using v6 without a hitch and tried installing both 7 and 8. It boots up fine and after I unlock the screen a message appears and tells me that installation will take several minutes. I have tried waiting for an hour and still nothing happens. Does this have anything to my partition? If I remember correctly I have a swap size not set to 0

Thanks

NM got it, repartioned SD card and set swap size to 0
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong I cant get this rom to boot, i can flash it ok and its saying complete but when i reboot im just getting a android logo loop boot, ive left it for 20-30mins and nothing, driving me nuts as its probably something ive dont, i copy the rom to my sd, flash using recovery, then i do full wipe and partition the card before i reboot.

Although i couldnt live with this rom for long (due to no camera) i would still like to give it a try
[Desire Android Development] MrTequila:
first do a full wipe, then flash rom using recovery, do not wipe after flashing rom. restart. first boot takes a long time, just wait!
[Desire Android Development] ItsDace:
remade my CircleBat based on the latest framework...

again only the BatteryIcon, no other changes.
[Desire Android Development] ViX_BG:
noob question - Your baseband version is 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 witch is newer than mine - i'm using 0.7a version of this rom and my baseband is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2. Is this a problem and is it safe to flash to 0.8 ?

also .. can i skip wiping this time or not? And if not .. how can i backup my settings, so i don't have to personalize the phone every time i reflash with a newer version of this rom ? Is it actually possible ?

thx :)
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Do you have an EXT partition on your SD of at least 512MB? Did you set swap file to 0 when partitioning the card?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I very much doubt that that would cause a problem but just to be on the safe side, why not download 05.14 to your SD and then you can flash it if you have any problems?

I (and others) didn't wipe and had no problems but I think one chap did. Just make sure you back up and then you can wipe if you have probs.
[Desire Android Development] mugor:
is there a recommended radio version we should be using with this rom?

i noticed that robocik is using 5.09?
[Desire Android Development] HC4Life:
Maybe the problem of camera not working is the difference of pixels.

Is there a way to put the original desire camera on this rom?

Thanx ;)
[Desire Android Development] mohamed_moscow:
If this is the problem then maybe camera from desire Z may fix the problem.
[Desire Android Development] setupspeed:
why v08 keyboard no manuscript ?
[Desire Android Development] ViX_BG:
First of all, thx for the fast replay!

Do i flash radio, like i flash roms ? (Go to Clockwork recovery, then install zip from sd card > select 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14.zip, and then reboot )

Is it a problem if the phone is on the charger (not usb charging form pc, but normal charger) while flashing roms or radio .. or whatever ?
[Desire Android Development] Jeffdeaf:
In reply to 'mugor'

I was wondering about the same thing, everybody seems to forget that without the right radio image your Rom is useless since the battery will drain within 3 hours of use.

Now I have a custom kernel which gives me another 10 % perf. increase and 100 % batt performance . How? Idk.. but I like it xD

So what radio to use, so I can further improve performance and battery life.
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
yes to both which is why im confused, does this have to be done before the flash or can I flash and do it afterwards? ive been doing it afterwards as if it do it before i obviously wipe the card of the rom to be flashed
[Desire Android Development] kavey:
This ROM is fantastic, and so fast. However very annoying that HTC have left out Voice Dialling again (need this for Bluetooth in car).

Is it possible to add this, e.g. through the voice dialing apk in other ROMs? Or does it need some sort of other subsystem/files to make work?

I prefer roms to stay stock without bloat, but would be great if this could be added as a mod if possible, like circle battery etc?
[Desire Android Development] ItsDace:
well v08 is a big improvement, GJ robocik ^_^v!

anyway, is this expected behavior for CM a2sd?
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Didn't undertand much of the above but hope my idea helps towards an eventual fix.

P.S. I now get FCs on Camera360 with v08 of this ROM. New base?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Yes, exactly right.

Flashing ROMS whilst charging can cause inaccuracies in the battery levels reported. But you can correct that by recalibrating the battery (search the forum).
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Might be worth doing the full wipe BEFORE you flash, as about 1/2 the ROM goes to SD (ext partition) during the flash stage as it's too large for nand.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Wasn't a bad idea mate but as someone else pointed out the Desire Z cam is 5mp and that doesn't work either...hmm...
[Desire Android Development] mista1982:
How can i update the rom from v07a?

Can I update without a wipe? because all my apps and settings will loose without a backup.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Sometimes specific radios are recommended but as robocik has not stated this, you should be ok with any of the later versions. I always update to the latest available radio regardless of which ROM I use and I have never had a problem.
[Desire Android Development] ItsDace:
5.09.05.30_2 is the latest radio from an wwe ota

all radios after that are from asian or carrier ota updates. this is why most people recommend 5.09.05.30_2.
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
mee too...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
This size of this ROM may cause it to overflow from internal NAND memory to external EXT memory on your SD (at least I think that is the case, nobody has confirmed this yet). So where the requirement for an EXT part is normally simply to enable apps2sd functionality, in this case it is imperitive as the ROM cannot install without it.

In which case the sd card must be properly partitioned and formatted before flashing the ROM. If you look back a few pages, a couple of other people had similar problems. If you have created AND formatted both /sdcard and /ext partitions and you set SWAP to 0 then it should work.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Yes, you SHOULD be ok, but as usual, no guarantees, so BACKUP ANYWAY! ;)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
It doesn't need confirming. Just look at the folder structure. The HTC apps etc are stored in /data/app_s and that directory is moved to ext if you look at update-script for the rom in a text editor.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Anyone got a ZIP with the original notification area? Hate the transparent one (no offense!!)

Does the one from 1.24.405.1 work?
[Desire Android Development] ItsDace:
currently working on StockNotificationBar + CircleBatMod ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
nice one :)

i'll try flashing when i get home later (i'm still on 0.4 atm)

i'm not going to restore anything with titanium or mybackup... hopefully i'll be able to change the battery this time :p
[Desire Android Development] Sesire:
First Post =)
[Desire Android Development] serotizm:
Checkout first post...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
It needs confirming for people like me and probably the majority of the people using these roms. I am a Windoze vb and database programmer but know zilch about linux/android. :o
[Desire Android Development] domazdk:
Please upload them separate... :)

would love stock notification bar, but dont really need the circle bat mod :)
[Desire Android Development] domazdk:
You are the best!
[Desire Android Development] ItsDace:
deleted post
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
This!

I don't want stupid circle mods, just the stock notification. Going by posts IS the one from 1.24.405.1 compatible? Cause there isn't one for 1.28.405.1 yet...
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
damn. was playing around and decided to delete som htc-apps and now I'm stuck in a "bootloop". it actually boots, but after like 30 sec of constant FCs it reboots. recovery doesn't work (says something like it can't execute some command), which is really weird. i'm trying to get into ROM Manager to install ROM from SD card through that, but it's difficult to make it in time with all the FCs..

anyone got any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] flakz0r:
Reinstall the rom, you removed something that is needed :)
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
You should be able to directly enter recovery mode before the fill OS boots. Turn it off, then hold down the power button and volume down at the same time. You should the see a red icon and then briefly press power and volume up at the same time...?
[Desire Android Development] Pyr0x64:
if you want the a2sd commands such as a2sd check, you will need to flash the Darktremor version of Apps2SD

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719151
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
yeah, I know. but I get "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command". :confused:

and all I can choose from is reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip (which doesn't work), wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. :/

edit: I get to some weird recovery screen with purple colored text. :P
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
oooohhhhhh
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
updated first post

Hi guys...

just updated first post with both original power menu and non transparent notification area...

also added updated zomfgitsDaces circel battery modds.

Thank you everybody
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Yeah, I always get that error but it doesn't stop "apply sdcard:update.zip" from working - that's what you need so can you mount the card in a PC and replace the update.zip file as that could be corrupt?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
check first post ;) just updated it...
[Desire Android Development] hugosan_tr:
Thank YOU...;)
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
yep, that's gone for some reason. at least I don't have it in my backup folder.

not sure I have anything to connect it to my computer though. :P guess I'll use my backup phone for a day or two and then go buy some memory card adapter. :)

thanks for the help!
[Desire Android Development] ViX_BG:
Again, thank you for your guidance, you've been very helpful !
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Just want to thank every active "helper" in my thread, sometimes it is hard to both work on the rom, read all posts and help everyone...

so a BIG thanks for You all...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
U r most welcome. :D
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
No card reader? No USB cable?
[Desire Android Development] boc_est1986:
this might not help you but i always use Koush fake flash because it aplies an update from the sd card that boots into recovery mode
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Just have, flashed and working - nice one!! :D
[Desire Android Development] 123schiff:
This Rom rocks... so far so good..
[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
found a card reader! :D fixing it now :)

[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Flash without wipe from 7.a to 8.0.

Works great.

This Rom is Amazing!
[Desire Android Development] bowli:
My notification area is not transparent, anyone know why ?

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] kevinof:
I am having the same problem as others with looping at the android splash screen - plus nandroid restores don't work for me.

I have the partitions set up using rom manager - 0 swap, 512 for ext3 and the rest free. I suspect there is still an overflow problem and that's what screws up the nandroid restore as well.
[Desire Android Development] anko184:
Can we also have the htccamera.apk from the 1.28 base? Please!
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
aha... but is the Z 5MP camera the same hardware as the Desire? Are they compatible with each other's drivers and libraries?
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
has anyone got internet pass-trough to work
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
When you say that the rest is free, do you have a data partition (\sdcard) in addition to EXT?

Have you formatted/reformatted all partitions, including davlik?
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
There's an older rooting method that uses batch files...

Put the phone into Fastboot mode, then select recovery mode, then run recovery-windows.bat
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
You would be better off with 1024 for EXT on the HD ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
No i think the Z and HD camera are the same other than pixel capabilities.
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
Agreed. I have a 1GB ext partition and it's 50% full after installing this ROM, so I'd guess it really does need a good 1024MB.
[Desire Android Development] kreso22_zg:
how can i make partition bigger than 512Mb?
[Desire Android Development] shinodoigt:
Does this version still have the applications issue ? (applications reinstalling automatically at the first boot).
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Never had such a thing.

Sent from my HDfied HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
I don't think so, or at least it didn't seem to do it for me, but this is the first HD Rom I've looked at.

I used Amun-ra's recovery image, which lets you pick 1024MB. ClockworkMOD/Rom Manager don't appear to let you pick anything above 512MB.
[Desire Android Development] K900:
I used Gparted

Sent from my HDfied HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Yes, this "issue" is by design. Apparently, the way around it is to skip part of the first-run setup wizard.
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Yes this feature is on this ROM, quite handy actually :D

I like how settings are actually properly backed up as well, flashed this from a wipe of v6 and it set everything back up :D
[Desire Android Development] 123schiff:
NO problems here... using Clockwork MOD to root.

Rom manager for partitioning

Swap =0

Ext3 part = 512mb

1. Full wipe

2. Clear cache

3. Flash rom via update.zip

After flash all complete, got 138mb of available storage left.. :)

No problems... Tested with Quadrant app. Score: 1513 :)

Cheers,

Last friday i installed v 0.7a and it has reinstalled me all application from the market... wallpaper and (THE BAD ONE) login and password about my home wireless network!!!:confused:
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
Where does it back everything up to? Is it online or in a folder somewhere?
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
i've used version 7 and 7a for a while now but got bootloops yesterday because i made a mistake (so no fault there).

I had runned a nandroid backup from my older modaco rom and from there i downloaded version .7a to my sd and installed it again (with data, cache and ext whipe).

but today i noticed my battery drains extremely fast. in battery info it says ~70% of my battery is drained by my display and that it has been on for 43 min.

Never had this issue before, does anyone got a fix for me?
[Desire Android Development] CrazyMcCool:
Hey guys clock application missing?

Is that cause of the flipping clock?

Friendstream widget is gone also..

I dont know if this is intentional or not :)

Anyway brilliant mod, cheers.

EDIT nevermind i fixed it :D AWESOME JOB
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
They're there on mine, fresh install from a wipe
[Desire Android Development] 123schiff:
All widgets exist on mine...
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
I dunno...

but there is not good!!!

Not good at all!!
[Desire Android Development] Dragooon123:
Why? 20char.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I don't have a fix for you, but take a look in Settings, About Phone, Battery, Battery Use and see if that tells you anything.
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
thank you for your reply, I've looked there and I can't remember excactly what it whas but just half an hour before my battery was totaly empty I'd seen in battery usage my display had used up 70% of the battery in just 43 min (screen on) time
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
OK. I vaguely remember some issue regarding the maps/gps where maybe it was running in the background. There is an app called SystemPanel that can record background app useage that may also help.
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
ok thanx i'll update to 0.8 and when the problem still occures I know where to look ;)
[Desire Android Development] pappalove:
Quadrant results...1651 is that any good?
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
Because i believed that synchronization was about, contacts, calendar not application list and login and password for WIFI connections.

But the worst aspect is that anything ask me to synchronize them selectively: no questions neither before backup nor before restore..

it is bad for me...
[Desire Android Development] atesszan:
Quadrant results...

http://kepfeltoltes.hu/101010/screenshot_5_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.png

:D
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
It's respectable. Highest scores are generally 1750 to 1800's but you'd probably need to use SetCPU to max out your CPU and switch to Performance governor (make sure you switch back to Interactive or Ondemand afterwards or it will chew through your battery more quickly!).

I've even been thinking of getting a class 4 or 6 sd card (about £80) just to up my score of 1757! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] quad2012:
I know it's off topic but if I run quadrant the 1st time after a while I always get about 1500-1600 if I do it againt just right away it gets me results between 1600-1800, so which results are now the "right" ones?
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Samsung do a class 6 sd card (16gig) for £32 - £80 sounds a tad steep there.

EDIT: Sorry - that's SDHC which is no good.
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Sorry, i meant to ask:- are the current Desire 5MP and the new Z 5MP cameras using identical hardware? If not, then the Z drivers won't work with the old Desire camera hardware, even though the pixel count is the same.
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
If you don't want all your old apps restored after a fulul-wipe/flash, then don't enter a google sync account during the setup wizard on 1st boot.

If you enter the google sync account later on (manually), only contacts and calendar entries etc are restored, not apps.

By the way, I love the way Sense 2 restores all apps automatically!
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
I love it too in the end, but should be better that it asks me something...
[Desire Android Development] SkyWalker1726:
it is said that u need 512 EXT partition to make this rom work , wanted to know what is stored on it ?3

THANKS !
[Desire Android Development] liljom:
I think you need to have at least 256, but if you have a lot of apps, 512 is better

I don't have my Desire at home, so somebody else will answer you with the question.
[Desire Android Development] neoKushan:
The ROM itself is much bigger than a normal Desire ROM. The Desire HD has much more internal storage so we need to use the ext partition to make up for it.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
But I'm looking for a 32gb to make the upgrade worthwhile from my 16gb C2. Have managed to resist, so far...
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
I find a 16GB C2 card to be enough, got a 1GB EXT3 partition setup and it's all good
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:

[Desire Android Development] LBTaylor1984:
how did you make 1gig, Clockwork only goes to 512mb and adb is being a C U Next Tuesday
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
I use AmonRA, not Clockwork Mod
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
And it has been for me too. But I recently ran out of space with all of the backups and ROMs and too much FLAC encoded music.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Anyone know if it is possible to extend the size of an existing ext partition with AmonRa...and if possible, how do I go to work? I have a 512Mb extension but would like to make it 1Gb. Thanks for the help.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Wanted to do that as well, and couldn't find an easier way than to copy all your stuff OFF the SDCard, repartition it to increase your ext size, and then copy the stuff back ON to the SDCard...:confused:
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
omg half of this thread is about ext2/3/4 paritions creating resizing etc.

EASIEST METHOD EVER:

1. take out the microsd card

2. plug it in a card reader. either the thing w/ holes from your laptop either you buy one for 10 bucks. Its a good investment trust me

3. boot up ur os whatever it is windows / linux / macos

4. *Edit: Removed reference to warez*

5. if its linux type gparted in a terminal. again break hell .... bla bla bla

6. if its mac go to http://google.com and search mac os partition manager, download it and do you thing.

THERE 4 easy steps. Now lets get back to the real questions. Any real progress on camera thingie?

Any real progress on stripping down the hd rom to make it fit or small nand? or is anyone trying?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Aha interesting to know this is possible using a partition manager...and yes I have knowledge of these programs, I use Acronis. Thanks for the tip...will try when at home.

...back to business at hand... :)
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
Well is like any memory, you can partition it w/ partition software its nothing different from doing it on phone. There are alot of partition progs paragon acronis partition manager etc. You can even get Hirens boot cd and do all the stuff from there.

Forgot, you dont even need a card reader, connect you phone via usb and select disk drive, should do the trick

Happy to help
