You can usually flash the new version over the old version without wiping. It can sometimes cause problems or instability that may force you to wipe and then re-flash for a stable system (in some cases I have flashed several new versions of a ROM without wiping). The golden rule is wipe if you are swaping to an alternative ROM.

If you do have to wipe, just back everything up beforehand using Titanium or MyBackup and then the amount of work you have to do is greatly reduced.

I hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
You can start by installing Titanium Backup and backing up apps and data and some settings.

Btw... can anyone confirm that the camera is working? A read somewhere that they got it working for Desire and wanted to confirm.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Spot on. The only other optional step is nandroid backup in case things go wrong!
[Desire Android Development] ThiaiZ:
Anyone else having issues while playing old videos recorded with Desires camera at 720p?Lagging so much.
[Desire Android Development] cucoarac:
Thank you i will try it whitout the wipe. I thought it is mandatory. Thank again
[Desire Android Development] Lucas0511:
Went from Pays 1.9 straight to 0.7a and Froyo V3 Kernel today, wonderful ROM. Titanium restored apps, but SMS restore did not work - but I am also using SMSBackup to Gmail for that.
[Desire Android Development] Salival:
Great ROM, keep doing man :)
[Desire Android Development] laserman123:
Any news???
[Desire Android Development] ljesh:
I usually read the opening posts in every thread, but a question is not answered on this thread. Rather simple question... how do we install this?

I don't think it'll work as simple flash from recovery since the rom is like 264MB big.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Oh yes it does!
[Desire Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Just flash it as normal mate...
[Desire Android Development] ynzrik:
it doesn't stand in the first post?:confused::rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Looking forward to next build based on the new 1.28.405.1 ROM version, will stick with v06 as I've had no issues bar the camera not working
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
my quadrand
[Desire Android Development] NYRican:
What are you doing to get this?
[Desire Android Development] kilohercas:
thanks for ROM
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
I haven't used this or any other hd rom yet but with all the great comments I want to give it a go but I want to ask a couple of things first.

1, do I just flash this like any other rom, or do I need to flash any extras live the version 3 kernel and if so do I just flash it like a rom after the first full boot?

2, what exactly does the version 3 kernel do?

3, is the latest version 0.7a the best version to use for stability, performance and battery life?

4, can I use titanium backup to restore my apps to this rom from my current leedroid rom ?

Thanks for any help
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
not at all. only the last radio to put the last kernel v3 and to execute quadrand advance
[Desire Android Development] hbjvandenbraak:
Hi,

yhanks for your great HDROM, perhaps it is a often asked question, because of the long thread i didn't read them all, but what is the problem with not working camera, is it possable to fix it? It is the only problem keeping me from having this ROM installed on my desire. Everything else seems to work perfectly!

Again, great work, but camera.......

greets
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
1. Yes, but read the system requirements in post #1, specifically that you will need at least 512mb of EXT partition on your SD card. The v3 kernal is optional but from mine and other peoples experience, I would recommend it.

2. Adds a few features and potentially improves performance and battery life.

3. (I don't know as I just started at 7a.)

4. Yes. Just make sure you wipe everything before reflashing a different ROM (I also came from LeeDroid, via SuperVillainHD, and this is a wonderful ROM).
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
The HD ROMS are ported from different hardware and it can sometimes take the devs a bit of time to mod certain parts reliably. There are plenty of very capable people working on this so I doubt that we will have to wait too long... At least I hope not! :D
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
What are you achieving? With this ROM + the v3 kernel + SetCPU in Performance mode, you shouldn't be too far away. With LeeDroid I was only seeing 11xx but with this ROM I am now seeing 1750. :cool:
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
I have got 1781 :P
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
very :cool: (slightly :mad:)

is that a gauntlet that I see before me?
[Desire Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
dont any 3rd party camera app work? is this a radio issue?
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
I am not thorwing any challenge :) just sharing how good this Rom is with updated kernel "richardtrip's V3" nothing else.
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
Bro nothing working not even 3rd party. Just wait and hope Dezire Z radio is decompiled, new cam drivers taken from that and integrated with the Old Kernel "Our Desire Kernel". SO wait and see till then, many people are working on it, like our beloved Robocik, Villain Team (nprussel) CM Team, etc.....

I hope we shall be seeing working Cam in our HD Rom in couple of weeks.
[Desire Android Development] Filiab:
Sorry, but this would be my first kernel modification. Which of the three is best suited for this rom?
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:
You mean Kernel Versions. Richard Trip's right?

I am using V3 and I am quite satisfied.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I know. ;) It can get a little addictive though, chasing down that extra couple of performance points. Must resist!
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
They are not alternative versions but simply improvements, so use the latest unless you have a good reason not to (such as bleeding edge reliability issues).
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
if i flash this 07a hd rom and the version 3 kernel do i still use setcpu and if so what settings (profiles) should i use

thanks

and the minimum spare on the ext partition is 512 so should i make the ext partition bigger for the install of my apps?

and what radio do i use with this is it the standard desire radio 5.11.05.14 or is there a hd radio i should use
[Desire Android Development] Filiab:
I was just curious what the three file differences were of :

Froyo Kernel V3

WiFi PM FAST module: WiFi PM Fast V3 module

WiFi PM FAST N-mode module: WiFi PM Fast V3 N-mode module
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I don't know why the WiFi modules are there, you will have to read the thread. Froyo Kernel v3 is the important one.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Thanks for the heads-up...can't figure out what's wrong on my phone.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Yes, use SetCPU to choose your preferred setting, Interactive seems to be the one to go for. It's up to you whether you run overclocked or not as it certainly isn't necessary for a speedy ROM such as this.

512mb is the recommended size but I am down to about 80mb free so if you have a large card then you could plump for 768 or 1024 to future-proof it.

05.14 radio is fine.
[Desire Android Development] Mastermarks:
I'm having problems during the install. It says that it can't mount the sd-ext. Failure at line 11. I tried to format the SD and to re-partitioning it, I also repaired it with the tool in the recovery but it didn't solve anything. Sorry if this problem was already solved by someone else but i don't have time to search. Thanks

EDIT: using the clockwork solved the problem. Right now i'm installing it. Hope everything will works now
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
The Desire camera needs the drivers from the Desire radio.

This would only work if the Desire Z camera is exactly the same make/model/spec as the camera for the Desire. However if that were the case the Desire Z ROM would probably work as it would be calling on the same drivers and hardware.

The only way I can see the camera ever working is if someone sits down and picks through the ROM piece by piece and change every reference, link and call for the Desire Z/HD camera so that it is referencing the Desire camera. OR, if someone works out how to port the Desire HD/Z Sense over to a working Desire rom.
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
so if i install all this and then use set cpu to underclock really i think may be the best option mainly when the screen is off and charging.....should i set the profiles for screen off and battery charging to interactive or ondemand like i currently use?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I THINK I read somewhere that the kernel scales down the CPU when the screen is off. This is in addition to being undervaulted so TBH, you might be over thinking it. I leave it overclocked with Interactive CPU setting and battery performance is excellent. So start with that and then experiment and research. ;)

Just noticed that SetCPU keeps defaulting back to Ondemand. :mad:
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Surely if the radio was the issue, 3rd party camera apps would work as we are all running a Desire radio, NOT an HD radio?

What I can't get my head round is why the non-Sense camera libs and apk don't work as I would expect them to directly call the radio drivers, bypassing the new Sense UI?

Again, the radio we use is the same for every desire ROM on XDA, regardless of whether its Sense, Sense2/HD or non-Sense. Obviously my lack of understanding how apps access the radio drivers and lib files is flawed... ?
[Desire Android Development] Filiab:
Quick question, it seems with every restore of my apps with each flash of a new rom, that my SD card keeps getting smaller despite not downloading any new apps. Its almost as if it keep installing new instances of each app on the SD.

Whats the best way to Tidy out the SD card (Once everything that can be deleted when mounted, has been removed)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Is phone finder working for anyone here? I am on HTCSense.com right now and can call my phone and all that but i can't get it to locate it? It tells me phone lacator is turned off but it is definitely on in settings!
[Desire Android Development] toppi73:
Same here.

Edit: Just tried it. Works now :)
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I have tried turning it on and off. Logging out of htcsense.com and back in. Not sure what else i can do? Also tried syncing HTC Sense and hub even though i'm sure that didn't really help lol.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Same. Don't know whether it is just our "fake" HD phones or not.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I could have sworn that someone said it was working for them though...hmm...
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Are you talking about the EXT or FAT partition? R u creating new backup sets every time? I THINK nandroid creates a new one echo time if you use it. There's an app called DiskUsage that gives you a visual folder size view but only for the visible FAT partition. The EXT partition should be formatted if you use the Recovery cleaning tools?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Have u Googled it outside of XDA? Are the htcsense.com compatible phones even available yet? If not then the service probable isn't fully live yet.
[Desire Android Development] afrcom15:
Working for me yesterday, not today though.
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
Ahh ok thanks for confirmation. The only supported phones so far are not even out yet so i guess they are still making changes.

Like i said yesterday the widget section in hub also has gone for now. I hope that makes a comeback!
[Desire Android Development] liljom:
it works for me

wifi is turned on

many clicks on Refresh location

started Maps - GPS

and it shows the exact place
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
I mean on HTCsense.com. To locate your device when lost. This is working for you?
[Desire Android Development] Filiab:
I'm not sure. I'm using an 8gb SD card, that has roughly 1-2gb MAX of stuff stored onto the card itself. The rest was just App stuff.

Before flashing, I had 600mb free on the card, now I have 700kb. What am I doing wrong here?
[Desire Android Development] toppi73:
Yes ist works.

It doesn´t in the mornig but now it works. Also the downloads from htc-hub. Perhaps server troubles?
[Desire Android Development] Kollegah:
Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
i actually burst out laughin at how fast this thing boots up lol, an can anyone tell me wat i can use to make the partition on the sd card bigger? i got a 512.... and i want a 2 gb partition... is the only way to do this thru adb or something?
[Desire Android Development] SheCo:
Works fine on my Desire. It's smooth and not laggy at all after the initial stabilization. My ext partition is 1GB.

However, camera doesn't work, phone settings FCs and the main reason for why I wanted it, homescreen in landscape mode, doesn't work.

Back to OpenDesire for now, I'll wait until it's further refined by the devs.
[Desire Android Development] joymishra:
hi all,

everything is working fine for me except this issue.Whenever i try to use HTC hub or want to downlaod anything like scenes and skins i get this error

"unable to connect to htc sense server" any Idea??

[Desire Android Development] itolson:
I have a 1024mb ext2 and tried again converted to ext3 partition via recovery menu.
[Desire Android Development] htc-rocks:
Maybe because HTC haven't released any phones that support HTC hub yet?!
[Desire Android Development] maulajutt:
You are right. I believe you.

Now shutdown your phone and take out your phone battery for few seconds .

Now put battery back in and turn-on your phone again and tell us will it boot in one second again :-
[Desire Android Development] 360nitrous:
ahhhhhhhhhhhh i see now.. its not a fresh boot, its just hibernation ... clever :P

[Desire Android Development] diggedy:
try using a ubuntu or similar. You can download the liive CD so it runs from the CD rather than having to install it on your pc. Theres a program called Gparted which is a pretty powerful partition manager and it will allow you to modify your partitions on your SD card

Phone finder was playing on me as well, I went out and got a real GPS fix on the map. And changed country on HTCSense.com and it showed my location.
[Desire Android Development] Cactus42:
The radio isn't the problem. It's that the ROM is calling on the drivers from the Desire HD/Z radio and they aren't there, but even if these were installed and correct they are for different hardware and still wouldn't work - that's why I think the ROM itself needs to be picked through.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Try DiskUsage, it will help you to identify where the space has gone.
[Desire Android Development] HC4Life:
Hi,

I was convinced to flash this rom and i did. I was a little insecure cause i know the camera is not working yet. But this rom is fantastic and i gonna keep it for a while in the hope that some brain could put camera working in this great rom.

Thanx ;)
[Desire Android Development] Filiab:
So yeah, Im clearly having an issue as I can't even install it, despuite having unistalled a ton of apps.

Is there a way to back up my Titanium Backup, backups of my apps, wipe the SD card clean, and continue to use it again with a restore? (Thats a mouthful... sorry lol)
[Desire Android Development] HC4Life:
We are getting there...:D
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Can you access the card from a PC? Using either a USB cable or card reader? If so, do that and then use TreeSizeFree to view what's using up all the disk space, then delete the rubbish.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
Good to hear. That'll open the floodgates!
[Desire Android Development] Ronaldo_9:
some one try that "Tango" app and see if it can access camera ;)
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
That makes perfect sense to me for the HTC camera app, but why can't we port the camera app and lib files from opendesire ROM etc and bypass the incompatible HTC sense libs to hit the radio drivers direct? (Or is that what the devs are trying to do?)
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
Excuse my ignorance of who the main Devs in XDA are. Are you talking from first hand experience of progress/dev-teams working on the camera fix?
[Desire Android Development] HC4Life:
I'm talking about people like robocik and others experient devs that are here to do a great effort do make this working out.

;)
[Desire Android Development] pehkblui:
If you have adb, you can just

adb shell du /system/sd

or whatever directory you want to check to see the disk usage. There can be quite a bit of stuff coming out. Just pipe it to a file.

As for Titanium, for this particular rom I have trouble with reinstalling stuff from it. Some say resintalling only the apps without data will be fine. I use appbrain to achieve that.
[Desire Android Development] rover.prince:

Quick question: I downloaded the V6 zip file, tried to apply it but it failed. I think I don't have the SD EXT stuff set up. I pressed 512 MB in ROM Manager, but what size do I choose the second 'swap size'?

Also it looks like everything on my SD card will be deleted, so back up everything to my laptop I guess? Any special program for this or just simple copy/paste everything to my laptop?

Thank you for any help, I would really like to test this ROM out!
[Desire Android Development] toppi73:
Hi,

set Swap to 0 and simply copy everything from your SD-Card to your pc. No special software is needed to do this ;)
