Here he says:

"3. THERE IS NO CAMERA IN THIS ROM. DO NOT ASK ABOUT THE CAMERA. I actually got this rom semi (more like 1/8) working on the old kernel. I even got it to take a picture, but then it FCd. Then, to my surprise, so did every other application on the phone. I simply don’t have the time just yet to spend on this. Maybe in a week or so I’ll get around to it. "
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Thank you ( Danköö ) :)

This is what npRussell said in his Villain HD Rom, point 3 in Disclaimer

hi, after installing v7 my battery drain very fast , I also flashed v3 kernel of richard, still the same . help..this wasn't happening in v4. thx
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
Dear check for the running services, Did u install the v7 after full clean ? I hope u should do a full clean install. I have been using it since last two days,

I am left with 45% I made approximately 1 hour of calls, 80 to 85 Sms, few minutes of Facebook and Twitter and almost an hour of Websurfing and Tap Talk.
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
yes i did, i always do a full wipe and dalvick cache before installing any version of rom
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
I think there is some app conflict that might be draining your battery. By the way what's your drain ratio. Do u use Titanium Back or other data restore utility for apps.
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
its like 9% every hour, when the phone is just sitting there,not doing anything on the phone.I have brightness profile installed. also i didn't use titanium back up, i installed all the apps from the market after install.
[Desire Android Development] xNixon:
Tested this out but had to go back to Leedroid for now, got FCs all over the rom.

Email, each time i dragged down the statusbar,

contacts everytime i tried to use the phone,

sense each time i opened up advanced task killer to kill all apps running in BG, after they were killed and sense restarted it just crashed.

echo when speaking in the phone, musicplayer lags when playing over headphones, fast battery drain.

sorry but this might help you a bit with future updates =)

other then that, im coming back to yours, best so far i've tried, but i would wait till its abit more common base to use HD/Z roms..

Cheers
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Is there a way to keep the last Apps Using out of the Quickbar ?
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Because Linux/Android doesn't work like that (even Windows doesn't) Think of it like this - in windows you have the Registry, In Linux you have many files doing a similar job. these files have all the pointers and references as well as information about how to run (ie files setting the screen res/refresh etc for a monitor on a PC) in it. So even if you change the libs and the apk, there are still configuration files saying "run camera like this" and "use this lib or that lib". I suspect that's how the VillainROM people have got to the point of picture taking then FC, it's a very good sign but there are still things in there asking for the original drivers/camera/libs somewhere.
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Cool! Shows at least camera must be possible to fix. Also proves I should read the

entire

post#1 of a ROM thread! lol
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
I've read to a lot of comments but couldn't find it,

can anyone confirm htc hub isn't working?

When i try to open it from HTC Likes it says application not found.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
Works for me,. made account, logged in, downloaded stuff fine.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Check your accounts in accounts and sync. Disable "update when I open app or view widget" on all items that have it enabled. I believe this is the largest drain on battery.

If you have news widget then each time you even flick past the page with that widget it will update. If using 3g this can cause huge drain.

Also the htc sense under accounts seems to update very frequently too. Hope this is of help and makes some sense of your issues.

Can I come to this rom from neos? Without a wipe ?
[Desire Android Development] liljom:
is it possible, that the screen makes the difference? I mean amoled and slcd.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
You can try if u feel brave! ;) But is highly recommended, if not essential to wipe when switching roms.
[Desire Android Development] liljom:
wow, you have the record of number of problems with this ROM

I had no one FC in one week

have you made an ext

did you wipe data/cache/ext?
[Desire Android Development] Danifamous:
+1 I've used this rom since 1st release, and the only FC was the camera (obviously) when I accidentally selected it.

This rom is too fast and stable, and beautiful, that i don't care about lack of camera. :D
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I had a couple of force close issues however I have narrowed it down to restoring data with titanium and mybackuppro.

After only restoring apps (incl app data) and bookmarks and dictionary I now have zero force closes!

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Look in Settings - About Phone - Battery - Battery Use. It shows you what's using the power. The vast majority of mine is screen (time to go manual with brightness, me thinks).
[Desire Android Development] Fightspit:
Robocik,

Are you trying to include the new base "1.28.405.1" in your next version of the ROM ?

Here is the latest "official" Desire HD ROM:

[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I think you are very unique and very unlucky as there are very fee comments the regarding reliability/stability of this ROM.
[Desire Android Development] perettigiuliano:
Yes i agree with you...

I installed 0.7a yesterday and it is fast as light!

NO FC, NO LAGS NO "NO"....:D

I think that HD roms are very confortable, much more all-day usable: HTC has done great job, wonderfull job!

Also the trick of hibernation is fantastic: 3 sec to boot-up! INCREDIBLE!!!

There is only one question/doubt.

Why when i install this ROM in a matter of minutes it restores (in addition to the contacts that are ok) in order: wallpaper, application that i have previously installed on the older ROM AND ALSO LOGIN AND PASSWORD OF MY HOME WIRELESS NETWORK???

:confused:
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
Ok that sucks. I'll flash 7a again, hope it will just be there after reflashing...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I think it is a new feature. Robocik comments on it in post #1 as he hasn't found a way to stop it (yet ;)). It wud b ok if we just had some control over it (an addition to Spare Parts wud b nice).
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
It hadn't been working for me but now is! :confused:
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
I tried reflashing but it didnt work. Is there a HTC hub apk?

I also cant open HTC likes because it cant connect to HTC server but that counts for everybody i guess
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
The Rome is absolutely amazing!

Phone 3 hrs before the downed, retrieved a phone call about 5 minutes, 3 sms, email and 3 times more battery at 99% and the higher resolution of the journal, a dream. The Rome remains Devinitiv on my phone!

Only thing I do not like are the latest apps to display the status bar that can be disabling?
[Desire Android Development] pehkblui:
Just had a very weird experience 1 hour ago.

I had been running v4 for almost 1 week without any issues. I was surfing using Dophin just now when the phone crashed and went into reboot. And it went into boot loops! Took out the battery, went into recovery to wipe cache and Dalvik, and it went into boot loops. :(
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I stopped it by skipping set up wizard. Then manually adding accounts also deselecting backup data. All done.

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Ahhh. What about the part of the setup that deals with PAYG/PostPay and sets the mobile internet settings etc?
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
I have found a new feature in sense hd,, you know the sense tabs at the bottom if you press and hold on it you can rearrange the icons and even remove them:-)
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
What sense tabs? Can you describe further or provide screenshot? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Nosrulz:
Could you please explain that a little bit better? XD
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:
Go into friend stream and the tabs at the bottom you can touch and hold to arrange them how you like you can do it with any tab
[Desire Android Development] Nosrulz:
I get it now. :) Cool feature.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Oh. I do use the FriendStream widget but have never used the full app!
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
I get here no more a

Top battery life, smaller font top, no FC yet, it runs smoothly Top and very fast.

I've really been through a huge range of Rome, but the real part Topt everything.

And I have all the time simply had no desire to test it, I would gewust times before

I fall into euphoria really rare, but today I am doing it
[Desire Android Development] demon_xxi:
Guys, please help. I feel like a noob.

I was on v5 and was going to flash v7a.

so I used rom manager to repartition card.

after that phone did not boot. was blinking on black screen with ANDROID.

could not flash v7 though since no ext partition on card.

So I decided to flash other rom to use rom manager again.

tried open desire and djdroid (worked for me before) and no luck.

it now hangs on white screen with HTC logo :confused:

what are my next steps? is this something with radio?
[Desire Android Development] theyau:
just got the circle battery

i have had it since it begane and its awsome i dont miss the camera:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Can you boot into recovery mode?
[Desire Android Development] demon_xxi:
yes, I can boot into recovery and clockworkmod

I can use adb and push files to device.

all looks fine except that it does not boot :( to the system
[Desire Android Development] XDA mark:
Nice ROM, works pretty good. But. If I use a live wallpaper the homescreen isn't so smooth anymore though, a lot of functionality from HTCSense.com doesn't work (yet), no camera, and somehow I now love stock Android lol. Even the updated Sense doesn't take away my love.

Some good things about this ROM:

Quadrant score 1474 (highest I ever got)

Good WiFi reception

Great browser, super smooth flash playback

Received a call and everything went ok

Keyboard was pretty usable even though the keys are pretty small

Great work, keep going!

PS, thanks to everybody that helped me get the ROM working
[Desire Android Development] demon_xxi:
at last.

official 2.2 rooted rom worked! woohoo.

now is time for 7a ...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Good luck! :D
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
well, yes i am trying to port it in the spare time i've got now, tomorrow my family is going back to Poland, then i am gonna have more time, so i belive tomorrow there will be a new update with this new base.

@Robo

Is there a way to keep the last Apps Using out of the Quickbar ? Ore read Please your PM :)

Have nice days with your Family :)
[Desire Android Development] D0GuKaN:
I wanna install this rom but i will wait until camera works
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
You still set this part. Just skip the accounts parts etc when asked for them :)
[Desire Android Development] xNixon:
yes i did, only backup i did was SMS. all others gets synced with my google account (Calendar, Email, Contacts ect) so no titantium backup probs as i know it has caused problems before..

also wiped all, battery stats + all the obvious wipes..

dno, might have been extra unlucky here but i thought i should mention it just in case there's something there he's overlooked.

well, looking forward to its stable and clean, think ill give it another month if i still got my desire then, thinking about changing to HD next sallery but never been so pleased with any phone yet then i have with the Desire..

Keep up the good work devs =)
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Hi, Sorry I maybe asking this question at the wrong place but its a very simple question but this is all because I am totally new to this sort of thing.

What if I dont like a specific custom rom, how can I uninstall it and get back to the factory installed rom?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
The factory roms are available from here i think in a sticky post. Or you can even download the RUU from HTC however doing that could mean you lose possibility to root in future with certain phones.
[Desire Android Development] demon_xxi:
Wired :confused:

Installed v7a over official 2.2 rom

and no default widgets layout, empty screen.

this is OK but all languages are missing. only few that were in original.

any way to fix this? or flash again? how to do it correctly ?
[Desire Android Development] mohamed_moscow:
You have to first WIP fully and then install this rom, then you will get it working very fine.;)
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Thanks ephumuris for the reply.

So is there any way I can backup the current stock rom I have in my phone? So that I can come back to it later when i desire. I am using a HTC desire and right now I have rooted my phone with unrevoked but havent added any custom rom to it. Also if you could suggest me some ROMs for starter like me. :D
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I see. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
You can try lots of different ROMs. You just need to use the recovery mode to reset the phone and wipe the partitions and then flash another. Probably everyone on the Development forum has tried lots of ROMs before settling on one, at least for a little while.

Edit: You can use nandroid backup in recovery mode to take a snapshot of the ROM and its settings and apps etc and then return to it after trying other ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] scoubi_doo:
hello

i don't know if this thing interest many people but my compagny use Exchange policy and if we sync with our rom we need to enter a code after phone wake.

but i bypass this policy and make a mod of Mail.apk with no policy

if you are interesting by this you can include this in the rom .
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
What method should I use to load custom roms to my HTC desire?
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
As already mentioned. Boot into custom recovery that Unrevoked flashed and use Nandroid backup to make a full image of your current rom.

You can try a new rom and if you don't like it you restore it and it's EXACTLY the same as before. Like turning your phone off and back on!
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Have you rooted your phone yet? If not, read the sticky threads in the Desire Development forum. All of the information you need is out there for you to find.
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Im sorry, I am finding out how noob i am at this right now but i am ready to learn.

What is Nandroid? Is it a PC software? And how do i boot into custom recovery?

And one last thing is that Unrevoked did not flash anything to my device. It only rooted it so how can i enter the recovery? :S
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Yes I rooted my phone with unrevoked because google search told that it was the easiest method to do root to htc desire.

Anyway, the phone is now rooted and now I am having confusion as to how to backup my current rom so that I can come back to it easily when I want. Can someone give me some of their precious time on any messenger so i dont mess up with my phone and have it bricked by doing something wrong..?? Please
[Desire Android Development] Dragooon123:
unrevoked also flashed a custom recovery. You can enter recovery simply by booting into Bootloader(Power off, then power on by vol down + Power) and selecting recovery(Second option, vol down for down, vol up for up, power for selecting an option). You'll be in clockworkmod recovery now. Then you can perform a nandroid backup from there(Backup and restore -> Backup), it'll save a backup in the SD card. The backup will contain 5 or 6 files, all but one being img file and the other being a md5 file. Save it on your computer just in case(Mount the SD card on USB by mounts and storage option in clockworkmod).
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Look at the above message - you guys are at the dame point so it should answer your questions too!

Good luck to both of you but you should b just fine.
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
I am having a big problem, I used this threads ROM and placed it on SD card and then from bootloader I wipe the user data but when I try to use ROM from SD Card it is failed and now the phone isnt starting up at all its just staying at HTC logo.. Please help me people!!!! :(

Please help me guys....... I am about to cryyyyyyyyyyy!!!
[Desire Android Development] ferreinf:
Have u particioned the SDcard (512Mb minimum)?

How to do it:

The easiest way, install Rom Manager from market, backup your SD(images, videos, sounds) everything u don´t want to lose.

Then with RM format SD card with 512MB part.

Copy all back to SD, and again with RM , install the ROM (mark Wipe data)
[Desire Android Development] ferreinf:
Have u created an backup, before flashing the new ROM?
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Will this solve my problem? Right now I am restoring my phone to a backup I created (thank God) .. But for the next time loading of custom ROM do I necessarily need to partition the SD CARD and install ROM manager?
[Desire Android Development] jamy_hallian:
Yes luckily I had a backup and its restoring right now... But what to do next? Why did my install of custom rom did not work? Why does it say aborted? I followed the instructions from here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/

PS: Thanks to all for their help, I really appreciate :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
This rom requires you to have an ext partition on your sd card. Or it will boot loop like you experienced. You can create this from within some recoveries. Not sure if yours has it. Can also be done using gparted on pc. Rom manager also has the option to partition.

Steps once restored.

Install rom manager.

Partition sd with ext minimum 512mb I used 750mb.

Boot in to recovery.

Wipe data, cache, dalvik, ext.

Flash this rom and let boot!

Eph.
[Desire Android Development] ferreinf:
First page:

Requirement:

* Full wipe recommended/required. Just to be sure

* EXT partition, min 512Mb

u need to read before install/flash anything around here.. :P lol

U don´t need to use Rom Manager, but i advise u to use it, it´s very easy to use, thrust me use RM for now... :)

Backup SD

Install Rom Manager

1.part. SD (512MB) swap 0

2.install from SDcard

3.choose file (Wipe Data)

10 to 15m later u have the new Sense HD rom running ;)

I love it, but no camera :( :(

Still waiting for the FIX
[Desire Android Development] faddys123:

I've tryed with GPS status and it showes my how many satelites it sees, and when it get a fix.

Might it have something to say, that I use the HTS settings widget to turn the GPS on and off???

Try to reflash the radio! Start GPS-Status. Goto /menu/settings/sensors. Tap A-GPS status control/press reset. The data will be cleared. Then find youreselve a nice spot in a open place and let the app get the first fix. Can take a while. After that you shouldt have fast and good fixus.
[Desire Android Development] m_primdahl:
Could it be the radio??

I flashed radio-version 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 just before I updated to this rom. But I didn't se anyone else having problems with the GPS and this radio i the radio thread... :confused:

Guess I have to reread the radio thread ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Heppieboeddah:
Using the same radio. I suggested to try and reflash it and see if that helps. Then do the GPS-status as adviced. Clear the A-GPS-settings. Find a nice open spot and see what happens.
[Desire Android Development] m_primdahl:
Thanks, will tryk as soon as i've gotten some sleep.

Just got off from my nightshift.....
