Yes did full data and cache wipes but still no luck.

Going to try ReflexTSense HD now to see if I can get my phone back with that...

I am still working out how to make ext 2 and 3 partitions on the SD card as I only have access to Windows and Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1 :(

EDIT: I have got the phone going again with Version 7.8.1 so can someone tell me which is the last version where you don't have to create ext2 partitions etc as that seems to break my desire / my brain? :)
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Rom Manager would be easiest. Or try this out. http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning

I can't get Rom Manager to work - keep getting a download error for the Recovery part but the MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition seems to have worked perfectly!

When I'm trying to install from SD in recovery it freezes and doesn't install... sometimes its freezing just going through the menus ... corrupted recovery? I reflashed but still have a problem! Anyone else had this?
[Desire Android Development] AndrewMe:
Well, the theme of 8.3 is not that nice, as 8.2 had, but still it isn't the point.

And the point is - both Neo's ROMs don't provide with a correct multitasking - with a lot of free memory there are lags and kills... Starting dialer almost in 100% of cases closes navigation program, although at that time there is 150+ MB free memory. Strange behavior. IMHO

It's very pity, but I roll back to LeeDroid 2.3d with a Glass theme from esk02k.

Updated to 8.4
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Thank you, will probably try it in the next few days. Is there a possibility I could avoid wiping and that flashing this over could work?

Also, how could you stress test your device to be sure it works 100% stable with lower vdd levels?
[Desire Android Development] AndyChecker:
First up - Thanks for all your hard work! Just got to 8.3 from 7.5.1 and everything seems great but then I read this:

If I am going from 8.3 to 8.4 what's the minimum wiping (cache etc) that will work?
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Yeah, that happens at times. Even though it seems troublesome, I would still advise you to do a full wipe after having backup apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro.

I'll have to flash 8.4, boot, flash ubuntu, boot, flash circle mod, boot, flash 875mV special :eek:

For the apparent memory tweaks and performance and speed improve, I'll do it. Haha.
[Desire Android Development] superdioz:
i just flashed (8.3->8.4) wipping only cache and dalvik, it seems to work...

i will test for day to be sure and i will change kernel tomorrow.

i'll let you know if there are problem about flashing without wipe data.
[Desire Android Development] retr0sic:
widget problems.

Well i'm currently still on 8.3 since the batterytime is awesome and makes it possible for me to use the phone for 2 days without charging.

But today i noticed something alightly annoying with all my widgets that i've installed and arranged to my liking. After the reboot everyone of them said "problem loading widget" and when i'm about to reload them they are gone from the widget list even though when i check they are installed.

Anyone got a clue to why this happens? cause this is the first rom where i've experienced this behaviour. And i need the widgets and to be able to get the widgets again i need to uninstall the applications and reinstall them again. And after the next reboot they're gone again.

If there's no solution to this i'm forced to change rom which i really don't want to do.

[Desire Android Development] dmpwd:
do you have any startup manager or something that prevents programs from loading when turning up your phone?
[Desire Android Development] retr0sic:
Nope i haven't. But i played around a little and it struck me that all apps are installed on my sd-card. So i went to applications manager and moved all the apps that i use the widgets for to phone memory and now i found all the widgets in the "add widgets" menu, so now i'm only to try a restart to see what happens.

And one more thing? Is Zeam launcher using more battery than sense? cause there's been a slightly rise of the battery drainage since i've installed and began to use Zeam Launcher?

And at the same time i've installed ClockR (payed version), or does the clockr widget drain the battery noticably more than any opther clock widget? I've used Tajm wiudget and battstatt but that rendered in random reboots every now and then so those two i've uninstalled.
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
Might be.....

Check to see that all the apps that you use widgets for are on the phone and not the SD card. I noticed that happens to me when my apps are moved from internal storage to external.
[Desire Android Development] moemitf:
Running 8.4 and it's great!

Thanx Neo!

I'm running 8.4 and it's great as always!

I don't understand what this Rosie Helix Drag&Drop thing is...

Could someone explain it to me please?

I also noticed that the adobe reader version is 9.xx while there is already v10 in the market. I also tried upgrading it but it keeps telling me the apk signature is incorrect... mmmhh...

Ciao

[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Could you two please define this external/internal swap thing? This ROM supports a2sd meaning you don't have to move anything since the script does that for you. If you manually moved anything to the memory card, that is what fubared your widgets since they ended on the fat partition. Android launches apps on startup before it mounts the fat partition, thus anything found on the fat partition will fail to start on boot up.

My guess is that now you are able to drag and drop whole screens in rosie. Try zooming out in home, holding screen and moving it around.
[Desire Android Development] AndyChecker:
Thanks for that - I suspected that would be all I needed to do now I have moved with the times and got a ext2 partition on my SD card
[Desire Android Development] justinjustin234:
actually when will we get data2ext?
[Desire Android Development] BigMrB:
Its ready to go just go install it... post on a page or two ago

Edit - I never usually flash without full wipe but might try this time, can the above people keep us up to date if there are any issues due to that.. I think it might be ok because its not a huge difference in 8.4 compared to 8.3
[Desire Android Development] justinjustin234:
is it very complicated to install?
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Hate to break it to you but EXT2 isn't moving with the times, Ext3 is being current and fully tested and supported, ext4 is being leading but not fully stable or supported, ext 2 is just being late to the party:-)

And before you ask, do a search for the differences, others have explained it very well.

Drag and drop is just that, drag your homescreens and drop. how come this rom just got it included now as standard?!

Before jumping on to data2ext be confident you have a good performing sd card otherwise you'll just get issues from lag to freezes seeing as you're putting so much emphasis on it. I've come back to A2SD + for now because of that although have heard Starburst rom is using the latest script.

As for me although it looked like I would have to use the 1000 patch, my phone seems to have stabilised well. Still on 8.3 can't be bothered rocking the boat yet with 8.4 will wait yet although looking at the differences can't see why a full wipe would be needed. Cache wipes should be fine.

Have to say, am liking the included theme a lot. Understated yet good differences. Nice.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
I have flashed 875mV last night, and no issues whatsoever this far. Can you share what issues can be related to this, just in case?

Atm, I'm in the area with very low coverage, and it seeks stronger signal all the time. This literally eats the battery away! I'm undervolted and stock, and I'm at 55% as of this moment, six hours of the charger! About an hour of surfing and one short call cost me 30% of my battery with auto brightness. It is not to be used, I think it does nothing as brightness didn't seem to change at all, so lowering it at about 30% manually is a must!
[Desire Android Development] BigMrB:
Read read read before you do it... I don't NEED it yet so don't see the point yet! Its not difficult but that depends on your experience..
[Desire Android Development] seijimaddog:

Have just upgraded from 8.3 to 8.4

For those wondering i only wiped the cache and the dalvik cache and have had no ill effects so far.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Well.. I think ext2 is best.. its faster than ext3. Ext3 supports journaling but I don't think I need it. And as u said, ext4 is unstable. So just be happy to use ext2.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Have you tried calibrating your battery? It helps alot most of the time. You need that especially if you happen to charge your phone while flashing.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
I wiped everything and still smooth so far. Hahaha. Smoother than 8.3.. or maybe it's just placebo effect. XD
[Desire Android Development] seijimaddog:
Yeah, but looks like it stops working if you flash the original sense theme. At least, that was what happened here last time :T

Anyway, loved that now the bar is not transparent, maybe I'll not flash the original theme this time, but just in case... (:
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
I flashed uot and its still there weee.. never had my phone as perfect as this. XD
[Desire Android Development] slhaarsma:
* installed 8.4 after wiping everything --> booted, didnt install a thing --.>rebooted

* installed originial theme --> bootloop

* wiped everything again, reinstalled, booted and rebooted

* redownloaded original theme

* wiped cache and dalvik cache (using Ra), installed original theme..

Bootloop... Gave up.. Bootloops s*ck...

Cheers anyway, love your ROM's (except for the theme)..
[Desire Android Development] seijimaddog:
Ahn, just to report, I bought a 16GB class 10 micro SD, barely noticed any difference over my 8GB class 2 D:

Connected to my PC, my class 2 can write at 2MB/s, the class 10 had 10.4MB/s, so I think it's not the card, the quality seens fine :D

Anyway, decided to try DATA2SD and now it's way faster, but I'm still testing to see if it is stable and such. Off course, the scores on Quadrant are higher, but when I say "faster", I mean my overall experience using the phone.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Just want to ask. Which part of the theme is the part you people dislike? Is it the blue light when you press the All Apps button, Phone button, and Add Widget button? I personally think the slightly transparent buttons are kewl. (Not transparent notification bar btw)

Connect USB HostCable is problem

This ROM is very good.

But in this kernel seems to cause problems USB HostCable is connected.

(HostCable is shorted to the fourth and fifth.)

This cable is for normal CarDoc starts.

But nothing happens in the kernel, then it does not recognize PC connected to.

8.2 is no problem in 8.3 that comes from.

This problem occurs when the kernel does not swap.

For example, such as coutts99 sensekernel.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Want to ask around. Everytime I reboot my phone, everything will be very smooth. App drawer and all. But after some time (perhaps 1 day) my app drawer starts to lag (games and all others as well). I read about clearing cache and I did clear my cache but app drawer still lags. But if I reboot my phone, everything goes smooth again for the next day. Any explanation?

This only happens in 8.3 and 8.4. Wasn't so observant in 8.2. I'm also guessing the Jewel game might be the culprit since I just installed that (nothing else).

Anyone else also?
[Desire Android Development] justinjustin234:

I used the install for this thread.

Used my existing 512 EXT3 partition and haven't seen any issues so far.

Even installed the 875 Special Kernal and still running well.

I didn't do it for any performance improvements, just to do it really and now I have 200MB free space on my phone... :D

Cheers,

Hi neo!!

I have a question for you!

I want to update to your last fantastic version 8.4, but every time that i update the rom making i full wipe, you know, i have to restore the sms backup... but it take too much time with the program "sms backup & restore"! :(

Have you got a better method to put rapidly the sms into the phone after the update?

thanks a lot!! :)
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
First of all, I accidentally thank you. LOL Anyway, gingerbread keyboard is not the default keyboard. But by default it is enabled.

All you have to do is go and create a new message, den click on the typing area once, and long-click the typing area, change the input method to gingerbread keyboard and it should work perfectly!
[Desire Android Development] Tillus:
In case you do also accept suggestions from other people than neo: i use titanium backup for everything, apps, data, messages and even settings and I never had a problem. I just tap on batch restore, wait 5 minutes, reboot phone, done.

How long does it take to restore your messages? I also used it once and it took maybe a minute, at most...:confused:

Anyone updated from 8.2 to 8.4 without wiping?

I would love to update without having to backup and restore everything again.
[Desire Android Development] COOLBGT:
It works fine with both the framework from the ROM and the one from the original theme. I have a question myself. When I upgraded from 8.3 to 8.4 I only wiped the cache and davlik. Everything is working great but I thought that when I install, all the applications that come with the ROM will also be installed but this was not the case. All the system app that I have removed are still uninstalled (which is awesome :) Is this normal or have I done something wrong. Also it would be good to remove the preinstalled adobe reader 9.0 and replace it with 10.0.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Probably you won't encounter any problems, but do a nandroid backup just in case.

[Desire Android Development] RJ200X:

[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Well. You should always use the framework provided with by UOT. AuraxTSense framework always needs to be corrected. Or simply apply a background when you personalize the notification bar if you insist of using your own framework.

But why? Just use the one in UOT. You don't have to upload. And never change the carrier. It will cause problems. I never managed to get windows animation working also btw. But you can try though.

Did you take a full backup with Titanium Backup first? If so one of the options in HTC Sense and that's what stored the home page settings.

Can try restoring HTC Sense. But I'm not sure if it works for you since it's from LeeDroid to AuraxTSense. From different versions of AuraxTSense works for me though.

Awesome work Neo!
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Just backup all apps + system data. When restoring, it is either [SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages 1.00 or [SMS/MMS/APN] Dailer Storage. You can try restoring one of them.

And you have to reboot your phone after restoring SMS for the SMS to appear in the Messages. Any SMS received or sent before rebooting will be gone after rebooting. I'm just speaking through experience.

However, my previous try to restore SMS failed. Only worked this one time. Probably that's because I did not reboot. Anyhow, use the "sms backup and restore" as a safeguard in case.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:

[Desire Android Development] AStartsev:
Correct updating

People! Really so it is difficult to use Titanium Backup?

All your appendices, contacts, SMS and system settings will be restored for few minutes, irrespective of volume.

What for to think out attempts of "hot" updating of the previous ROM?

Do full wipe, update an ROM, after the first start reboot in Recovery and apply a theme or UOT-Kitchen updating framework.apk - it can be done ONLY after the first start.

Then do install Titanium Backup Donate and restore all apps, app data with the system data and settings.

You each time do same errors. And all topic has turned to discussion of your curve hands. In the first message of a topic it is told how to make updating ROM.

Do respect author ROM. Attentively read his recommendations and the previous messages all other authors.
[Desire Android Development] O Sophos:
Urm.. Could you point out which post the author ROM explain the procedures?

And btw, sometimes restoring settings might bring the problem from previous ROM (or other ROM) to the current ROM. So I refrain restoring system data (especially contacts) from Titanium Backup and only do those really necessary ones, like SMS for example.
