The update is almost done, fighting with the autobrightness values ;) hehe

I cant get it as i want, but it is better then the bright original :)
[Desire Android Development] Narf!:
Nice, just waiting for more stuff coming with this rom.
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
Seems the next version is around the corner,

u r the man, robocik:D

One question, will the gingerbread keyboard be included in the release or not?

Would love to see it work in this rom coz I flashed many versions of gingerbread keyboards in the HD rom, none of them works:(
[Desire Android Development] Nitin985:
Will the data2ext use ext2 or 4 or 4 w/o journal
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
No ginger keyboard for now, cant get them to work either...

first out will be Old Fasion version with A2SD...

Quickest and most stable.

A real competitor for my RCMixHD, now when almost everything rotates, locations working few tweaks, camera working (no 720p rec)...

it has the same bug with some streaming media playing just audio... but still

i like this rom more now i think... shhhh dont let the HD rom hear that hehehe
[Desire Android Development] Nitin985:
Lol robocik you are a legendary developer I would donate if I could
[Desire Android Development] Akarim47:
are you gonna upload the updated one today?
[Desire Android Development] HTC 123:
Brilliant to hear will probably flash over your HD version and then wait until gingerbread comes out :)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
yes... was already uploaded it 2 times, but i noticed small bugs in the last second... hehe so changing, flashing, uploading ;) hehe
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
haha,I follow ur hd rom but think i'm gonna love this desire z rom much more coz it has bigger fonts than hd rom, and also rotating!

A2sd is so far the best version working on my phone, I'm gonna stick to that.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
actually i changed, so in settings here are also smaller fonts... :) hehe but just there ;)
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Coool... Hope you have disabled the wake on power key press.

Hitting refresh every few mins.. All set to flash and zooom on your super fast rom :)

Will I require a wipe coming from RCMixHD v13 with a2sd??
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
I have not removed it, but will make a small update.zip which removes it

I have modified the autobrightness to darker... it will also dim to minimum, when it is dark in the room... should save battery and i like it better that way :)

gonna also provide a zip with original for those who like it brighter and dont care of battery time ;)

uploading...
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Man.. You are amazing!!! :D:D
[Desire Android Development] Akarim47:
really appreciate your efforts
[Desire Android Development] robocik:

dont remember rest... ;)
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Awsome!!! Thank you robocik!!

Downloading now... :D:D
[Desire Android Development] naboleo:
Wonderfull !!!!!!! Many many thanks
[Desire Android Development] tr!x0r:
Thank you!!!!!!!!

Do I need to do a full wipe???
[Desire Android Development] Akarim47:
is there a need 4 a full wipe
[Desire Android Development] tr!x0r:
I will do a full wipe, I don't know or it is required or not. But it seems the safest to me.
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
First do a nandroid backup!!!!

Then flash and try without wipe. If it does not work then wipe everything and flash again..
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
Thanks rob will there be a data2sd version?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Fullwipe needed i belive :/ still moving stuff to make the roms more unified...

data2ext will be available, no ETA tho, maybe tonight maybe tomorrow, i am very tired, has slept just 1.5 hour last night... but who knows ;) hehehe
[Desire Android Development] Entreated:
Wonder if someone can help me out once and for all..

When flashing any Rom, or even in recovery when wipe data etc. My phone can never recognise the SD EXT..

Apps2SD has always worked on previous Roms, just can never get a HD Rom to install.

FAT32 for primary first partition and then EXT primary for second partiton as always stated

I have tried all different sizes of EXT from 512mb up to 2gb, tried EXT 2 + 3 + 4..

But always returns the error: Can't Mount SDEXT.

Wondering if anyone has any insights to this as it's started to bug me, was thinking it was something to do with the SD card but then again Apps2SD and the general SD itself functions fine.

Error i get at the moment from this Rom:

E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2

(No such device)

E:Can't mount SDEXT:

E:Failure at line 7:

copy_dir PACKAGE:sdext SDEXT:

Installation aborted.

Thanks in advanced.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
If someone does not likes the modded autobrightness,

here are files to flash from recovery, no wipe!

Original file from stock Z rom

Original file from Z v0.1

Original file from Z v0.2 - With custom autobrightness

Note the autobrightness settings are in framework-res.apk, the same file as is using for animations/battery mods and other themes...
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
Small fonts, alright, I'll live with that:D

Just feel a bit weird that if these two roms use the same small font,

why make two roms almost the same (except rotating):confused:

Anyway, your efforts are greatly appreciated:D

Gonna try flash this Z rom now and see how rotating works in my desire:D
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
What are you using for partitioning? had once this issue when used rom manager... but never when used some disc utility in my linux...

so try maybe a GParted Live CD to remove and recreate the ext partition...
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
There is so many HD roms now, so time to give some attention to my other babies ;) hehe that does not means that i will abandon the HD rom hehe...

I just like this Z better ;)

All roms are gonna get updates, when those comes.
[Desire Android Development] Entreated:
I've tried Rom Manager, GParted, Partition Wizard for Windows..
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
try to mount it in recovery, in mount menu, mount the sd-ext and try to install again...
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
Rotating does work very smoothly for me, sweet:D

Think I'm gonna stick to Z rom forever.

Robocik, your name is awesome! Thx!
[Desire Android Development] Entreated:
That's what i mean it just can't mount the SDEXT at all displays the error:

E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0p2

(No such device)

E:Can't mount SDEXT:
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
Just wanna point out one small bug,quick lookup (app) doesnt work.

Everything I type in some words in the quick lookup and then hit enter,

the app just fc. Happens to the hd rom as well.

I'll delete the app then.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
quick lookup ? is it HTC Likes? cant find anything called quick lookup on my phone :/
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
No, its called Quick Lookup, I did full wipe for HD Rom and Z Rom and this app shows,so it cant be sth. I dl from the market.

Actually, u can find a file called QuickLookup.apk in the system app.

No idea why this app doesnt show in ur phone...
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Looks strange then, i had it once, it was caused by that i have lost ownership of the partition, but it got fixed by recreating the ext partition from begining...

hmmm....
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Ok i found it when i changed language to english ;)

but it is not FC for me... searching wiki and youtube, well everyone just fine
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
Weird, it never works for me...

Anyway,the rom runs very smooth and fast on my phone,

thats already good enough for me. Thank u very much :)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
strange that it is not working for you...

and

no problem man :) you are welcome!
[Desire Android Development] Entreated:
Thanks for your efforts, just bewildered to be honest.

I'll try get my hands on another micro SD, never know.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Try this formatter... it helped somone on swedish forum...

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

He told that he first formated the sdcard with all options on, then he did his partitions he wanted with gparted...

try, hope it works for you!
[Desire Android Development] Entreated:
Thanks, i'll let you know the results.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
ok, hope you get it working...
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Rom running smoothly.. :D

So far noticed one thing. In the HD rom, in the music player now playing screen, when the phone is rotated, it switches to a cover flow view where we can browse by albumart covers by swiping. In this rom, the music player itself rotates and coverflow view is not coming up...

And rosie also rotates 270... cool :)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
My music app is rotating like that and i can swap to change albums... is that the same as in HD rom?
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
It is different in HD rom. You can see that in the youtube RCMisxHD movies Part 2 in your HD rom post (Time 7:45). The cover flow browsing is not present here.

Also settings->Wireless & Networks-> Mobile networks is force closing. Not sure if it happens to only me.
[Desire Android Development] basthet:
No, e.g. the screen you posted is not in the HD version

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Ok then i know... have never used that feature ;) hehehe

I am streaming my music with Xiia lite ;)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
How is my modified autobrightness working for you guys?
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
hey am here. decided to try desire Z.
[Desire Android Development] fridaycider:
great rom but cannot get into network settings to turn off always on data,just force closes..any idea's please
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
I found modified brightness too sensitive.. it kept changing constantly giving a flickering effect inside a room. I think the refresh interval needs to be increased a bit more. I feel the brightness levels are good, but they keep changing too often without much change in ambient light

Can you also check if settings->wireless & Networks-> mobile networks(the second one) is force closing for you?
[Desire Android Development] kartikb:
Is it possible if someone can point me to having data2ext on this ROM just like the DHD Roms?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
hmm... i belive it has to do with the throttling patch... gonna check if it is fixable

You can turn data off with power menu, the option on the bottom of the menu:

Mobile network

otherwise you can try if the setting you need is here:

*#*#4636#*#* if you read those numbers as letters you got *#*#info#*#*
[Desire Android Development] Dragooon123:
Would a fit to NAND version be possible?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
the mobile networks FC is due the throttling patch. It's supposed to bypass network bandwidth throttling imposed by some carriers.

I wanted to use it as a patch, but i dont know why it went into the rom...

I am gonna provide a patch wich removes the throttling patch... so those who wants can test it and other should flash this patch...

i knew there was something i forgot ;) hehe... sorry guys!
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Here, flash this to fix it.

http://rom.tat.tw/desire/Z/Original/Remove_Thrott-signed.zip

EDIT:

so by misstake a throttling patch came along, which causes FC some settings in wireless & networks

sorry for that, was working to 6am and simply forgott about it.

anyway here are fixes, flash from recovery, no wipe.

Throttling patch remover

Throttling patch installer
[Desire Android Development] raymondy:
+1 it fc and then kinda reboot:confused:
[Desire Android Development] fsamoggia:
hi robocik, is the distorsion effect working in this rom in the fixed camera?
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Yes patches are two posts above... sorry

gonna build a new b version (god i hate that!) and upload it, but you can simply flash the fix...
[Desire Android Development] lagaba:
+1

I'd love a NAND version..

...or if anyone could let me know what I have to do other than to move apps from the system folder I'm willing to give it a crack..
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
sadly no...
[Desire Android Development] Nitin985:
@robocik you are an amazing dev you work so hard I don't know how. Anyway is a data2ext Rom in the works ??? Will be flashing v0.2 tomorrow thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
i am gonna work on that next... give me some time.
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
well those settings are hard to tweak, i have no clue how it works, just trying by trial and error... so this is gonna improve with the time, when i play little more with it, just found which values to change, but dont know how it works hehe
[Desire Android Development] alphaola:
do we have to flash both files. I mean the remover first then the installer .
[Desire Android Development] lagaba:
of course;)

didn't mean to rush you! I've just been contemplating trying it myself...currently digging around for a bit of info..

this is definitely my favourite ROM by the way, my previous favourite was the RCMixHD!:D

a donation is in order I think - I know its a measly amount but I've recently been made redundant unfortunately - although on the bright side I've got a lot of time on my hands to play around with my phone!

...when I finally find a new job you'll go straight on my xmas list for sure..:D
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
ofcourse not, the one patches the rom so it will defeat data throttling, check this thread but that patch causes FC in settings.

the other file removes that patch, to normal. So settings works...

so if you have a carrier which chokes your internet cause of heavy traffic or limit or something like that, you can flash the patch and have full speed...

i have not tested it tho, i have unlimited... theoretically at least...
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Had to try this one out too :p and i must say that I'm glad i did... i think this z-rom runs smoother then the hd-rom :)

And I like your brightness adjustment robo, suits me just fine :)
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
:) glad you like it :) this is my favourite now hehe... or should i say for now ;) hehe

anyway, i have a updated rom, the one which should be there in first place...

I mean without throtteling patch, patch is optional

Z v0.2b OF download
[Desire Android Development] ascot17:
Great Job robocik! This is the ROM I have been waiting for!

Downloading now - will flash tomorrow.
[Desire Android Development] sinsnowman:
Can we have the option for smaller font in settings? Since I prefer the stock font size...... and yes, we definitely want more speed in this ROM, waiting for the NAND version =]
[Desire Android Development] sinsnowman:
I'm showing this while flashing this ROM:

E: Can't chown/mod /data/local

(No such file or directory)

E: Failure at line 9

set_perm 2000 2000 0771 DATA:local

Installation avorted

I have 512 mb of ext3, is the ext3 the cause of this problem? And how can I create an ext2/4 partition? I used the ROM manager for convinience and I don't know how to create other types of partition, I tried to use the Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2010 and created the partition but still Clockworkmod don't seems to regconise the EXT partition, can someone help?
[Desire Android Development] mohamed_moscow:
please a fix for LED for the desire z v0.1..................

please.........
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Observations

1.The rom is much more smoother and quick with richrdtrip's kernel. I am using 5e version

2.the HTC music player is different. It does not have cover browsing/EQ and headphone effects that was in HD rom music player. I tried replacing the HD music player (from /data/apps_s) to this rom (/sd-ext/.systemapp) but no effect. How do I get the HD rom's HTC music player in this rom?? :(

[EDIT] My bad. Did not replace the file properly. Now replaced and rebooted and now have the HD music player in Z rom with cover flow and EQ effects (Rotates only 90 deg though.. but that's fine :) )

3. The HTC_IME user dictionary does not force close like in HD rom.. Super :)
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
robocik bro. u r gr8..

but some one plz tell me which is better/faster DHD ROM or Z ROM....
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Well, i think u have to try yourself. I think this z rom runs smoother then hd roms! I'm not gonna put quadrant scores cuz i dont trust them at all after all this d2ext d2sd scripts running all over :p
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
ya bro. same as me...quadrant its just a score... its not about performance thats why i always using a2sd... n try to fit whole rom in nand... as mention on my sign...

ok will try it...

downloading.........
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
OK, the rotating Z is there.

I'll flash this one tonight.

Hmmmm...flashing one ROM to another is my main activities in the last 1 week...

I find it very hard to decide:

HD or Z? (RCmixHD or this ROM)

Sense or non-Sense? (LeeDroid or DeFrost)

I have even borrowed an extra Desire from a friend, so that I am able to test 2 ROMs at the same time, and still can not decide which one to keep...

:D

Anyway...I'll try this rom tonight..
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Simply fantastic.

Thanks for the great ROM.

And me too, think that this Z ROM is smoother than the HD ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] sinsnowman:
Problem solved, I deleted the wrong file, it works on ext3. Great Job robocik~~
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Robo..... whats the name of the apk for "Ta reda på mer" ? I want to delete it but cant find it....

Dunno the name in english :p .... but if someone else know the name of the apk for something like "Learn more" app in the drawer? Dont ever use it so want to get rid of it :p
[Desire Android Development] CerB:
thx for this great rom, it really works great.

is it possible to get trackball turn on screen and unlock by pressing once more ?

i had that on neo 7.8.1 and i love it
[Desire Android Development] jamran:
Can someone plz plz plz help!!!

The Adobe reader that comes with this Rom is the new one n I personally don't like it. It's too slow n baggy to load pages. The previous stock pdfviewer is much better.

So, I just removed Adobe reader from the sd ext folder and added pdfviewer.apk that I removed from another. But if just doesn't install after I flash the Rom!!!

WHY?!!!

Plz plz I really need this app!! I have tried all other readers n this is by far the best!!!

Thanx
[Desire Android Development] hendry:
trying your desire z rom, getting error the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly when choosing mobil networks options.

anyone suffering this too ?
[Desire Android Development] cjm1979:
I think it will be due to what as been mentioned by the op in the posts before yours. There was a patch to stop data throttling but causes the problem your getting. There is a patch for it posted. Go back to post 261 and read from there.
[Desire Android Development] hendry:
i'm using Z v0.2 OF - Z Old Fashion A2SD with throttling patch WWE 1.34.405.4 Base - Multiupload. should i download throttle remover and flash it to avoid this error ?
[Desire Android Development] hendry:
OK... problem solved by flashing Remove_Thrott-signed.zip

someone can help me how to make this rom to be data2ext ?

i see internal memory only 131mb available at first flash this rom..

if i install many application, does the internal storage will be decreased or it will automatically move to /ext ?

this is my sdcard layout:

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8031 MB, 8031043584 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 245088 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1 208466 6670898 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 208466 245088 1171917+ 83 Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary

sorry for my newbie questions.. thanks..
[Desire Android Development] vpraveenis:
Did you reboot the phone after pushing it?? If that doesnt work, try to extract the apk and install manually
[Desire Android Development] ufh1:
I was having loads of problems with mounting ext partition too, i believe problem is with ClockworkMOD not dealing with ext4 & or bigger than 512mb partition

I flashed AmonRA and used it to partition sd-card to 1gb ext4 & everything working great .. i used unrevoked to flash it .. its so much better than clockworkmod in my view http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9207011&postcount=1
[Desire Android Development] coolexe:
yup confirm Z ROM running much faster then DHD ROM...

It seems that this Z is running better than the RCmixHD, but Iwill do some more testing.

Who knows that bugs might appear after some duration of usage, because I have also bugs on RCmixHD v14 (not the v14b) after 2 days of usage, not directly after flashing.

Due to this relatively long testing duration I have borrowed an extra Desire from a friend of mine to be able to test 2 ROMs at the same time.

I have currently this Z ROM and Defrost 6.1.
[Desire Android Development] ufh1:
Cool man, flashed it and loved it, moving from RcmixHd v12 and just wanted to check this one, then flashed rcmix v14b, now i want to come back to this, In my opinion this is bit more smooth,

however what partitions to use with this, i have 1gb ext4 on 8gb class10 sdcard

is that useful considering Z v0.2b OF is using app2sd & not data2ext

Excellent work, my desire is so much better with your hd roms :D
[Desire Android Development] ufh1:
I was having similar issues earlier, after spending hours what solved it for me was flashing AmonRA 2.0.0 over ClockworkMOD 2.5.1.2 .... now wondering y i didnt flash it earlier ... used unrevoked method of flashing ... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9207011&postcount=1
[Desire Android Development] ufh1:
clockwork recovery may have an issue with ext4 ... I had issues with clockwork, solved by flashing aman_ra

I recommend using Aman_ra to avoid sdcard issues + u can hook up sd card to pc in recovery to transfer files & do larger partitions .. its nice & simple recovery
