ok here it is :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Thank you alex,

But i can't install it..

It says application not installed when i try to install it..

I already try to install the file from your 1.5 rom. And it's the same..

Try to push it to system /app but not enough space..

Hehe..

And idea?

:P
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
this happens if i dont try it before (i dont use it..)..sorry...i thought its the same as the clock lockscreen..this can be installed after...will look into this in next time :)

because i flash at the moment...trying some things..and compare battery..etc

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
It's okay.. Im just asking and curious why cant install it.. :P

About battery, same here lose 3-5% when browse xda app.

So i think you didnt smoke too much.. :D
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:

[Desire Android Development] cybermessiah:
Hi Alex

Got a Desire for my mom and I know she will love this rom.

Just a quick question.

Does v1.6 include Rosie 3D, or do I have to install separately as in 1.5?

Also, when I installed v1.5, my buttons wouldn't light up (I installed a fix.. Reflex-S_LEDS_ON). Is this fix included in the 1.6 version? [I intend a fresh install].

Thank you so much!!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yeah..hope so too.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
:)

But please dont use files from 1.5..the rom dont run with it because rom is odexed..if you want to use it you must delete the odex file from the apk before

And yes..the led is fixed in 1.6
[Desire Android Development] cybermessiah:
hi Alex

Is there a weather lock update for the as2sd+ version...or is that version ok?

Also... on the as2sd+ version.. should I be using ext3 or ext4?

Thank you in advance.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Weather lock is in on a2sd :) and ext4 should be the best
[Desire Android Development] ericb:
Hi Alex

Just tried your rom, really nice to have some space left at last.

Noticed HTC Locations is missing, can it be added or have I missed something?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i did not use it.. but i can make a patch for you...but i must know what version you have installed..?!? locations is in (because its needed for weather)..i think you mean laputa or..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] ericb:
Thanks Alex

I mean the Navigation part of HTC Locations.

I am using Alex-V 1.6 Gingerbread Sense HD Data2ext S-off - hboot 387 mb system
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
please try the attached flash install zip :) should work :)..i hope..lol

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] ericb:
Thanks for the quick reply, it loaded but the premium navigation part forced an error message and stopped.

Also there is no Locations widget.

Thanks for trying to sort this, I can't be the only one that uses the navigation part of Locations surely.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Mmhh..maybe a lib is not correct or not in...will look again..if i have time :)
[Desire Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi. Do I need those partitions

data2ext = big fat + 1-2 gb ext4 + 0.3 gb ext 4 + 0.1 gb swap

or is et enough if I have

data2ext = big fat + 1-2 gb ext3

Thank you :)
[Desire Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi Alex. I am looking for a blue theme because I dont like that HTC green very much.

Is the Gloss Blue Sense Gingerbread Theme compatible with you ROM ?

Thank you !:D
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
I'm completely "lost in space" with all these sd card format A2SD+, DATA2SD, DATA2EXT, DATA2WE... :rolleyes:

is swap really necessary ?

what is the minimum of space for EXT partitions ?

is 768mb + 256mb enough ?

I'm very curious to test your Rom.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
The best is

Fat32 + 1gb ext4 + 0.3gb ext4 + 0.1gb swap.

But you can always change volume of ext4.

Just remember that 2nd ext4 is 1/3 of the first one.

It you want Fat32 + 1-2GB ext4 + 0.1gb swap , you can use data2whatever version

:)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
The thing is, data2sd, data2ext and data2w is the same, make the ext partition as internal storage for our desire that lack of internal storage.

The different is only the method.

Data2sd found by sibere

Data2ext found by ownhere and

Data2w found by melethron.

The minimum is depend on you.

If you think 256mb is enough for your internal storage, you can make ext partition to 256mb.

But why we set the ext partition so small if we have more than 4gb sd card right?

Hope it helps.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
Hello Alex :-)

I installed the "Alex-V 1.6 HD Gingerbread Sense Data2ext HBOOT normal" with card 32GB class 10 (FAT32 + 1024MB ext4 + 341MB ext4 + 128MB swap).

The ROM is fast but takes 10 minutes to start (until PIN).

I created the partitions with 4EXTRecovery v2.1.3, they are aligned.

I use SD Booster (set in 2048MB) and I noticed that the ROM BravoS Cool v6 is set to 4096MB.

Alex-ROM V 1.6 is set to 128MB

I tried your patch HTC Locations but I see nothing ...

Thank you all :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
when i flash this ROM also takes about more than 5 minute to start, i dont know the exact time.

but after the ROM is started, it feels very fast.. of course because it is odex ROM. and if you use 387 system, it feels more faster because it all in system partition..

for class 10 card, i heard is not fully compatible with our desire, it has problem with data2sd, data2ext or data2w stuff..

because some class 10 card is fast for writing big data, but slow when writing small data constantly..

And i never make partition with recovery always with gparted, maybe you can compare which one is better for you, use 4ext recovery or gparted.

thank you...
[Desire Android Development] DirkStorck:
Hi.. I have used

big fat + 1,5 gb ext4

After I have installed all my apps using Titanium Backup it very slow and laggy...to slow to be used. The CPU was allways at max.

Could that be the reason that I didnt have a second ext4 and a swap?

Thanks!

Currently I am suing MIUI but the battery drain if I use the phone is VERY high.

I am simply looking for a stable Gingerbread ROM that uses D2Ext or D2W cause my internal memory is to low.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yes, i think for data2ext you must use 2nd ext partition for speed improvement..

maybe you can check on ownhere thread about data2ext..

I'm using 387mb data2w version is fast and stable, sandisk 8GB Class 4 SD Card, never had random reboot with this ROM..

and i also restore so many app with data with titanium backup..
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
OK thanks, I will test.

But for what is 1rst 768mo partition if 2nd 256mo is for apps ?

Is swap necessary or can i omit it ?

Best regards
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
if you want to play with themes..you should flash 1.5 as 1.6 is odexed.. :)

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yes...yes :) yes :) swemoza is right...

and please use the partitions i suggest :)

with kind regards...Alex

verifying update package

E:wrong digest:

E:verification failed.

Installation aborated.

Is the package broken?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Set verification to off..before flash :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
What is that?

ROM zip?

Try to turn off verification..

If still fail, I think it is bad download. Try to Re download again..

Edit: Alex is faster.. :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Nice kernel by Sibere..

I still try it.. Hopefully improve performance with swap enable. And also better battery life..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep :) just tried it with my rom...works without problems

this is the second version...in the 1st the batt fix was out :)

so flash this kernel (open sourced kernel) :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17346726&postcount=426
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
3rd version already there with battfix, oc interactive / smartass.

That man is so fast.. :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah...sibere is very fast...so i say big thx to him again.. :)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
No oc just yet. What's funny, interactive governor can reach 128mhz while smartass can't (checked with setcpu). don't wanna bother sibere since he already did lots of stuff adding battfix, swap, spartass, interactive ... but just to inform :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Thank you for your info.

I just flash that kernel and did not check with set cpu yet..

Yeah, Sibere already did a lot of stuff for us..

Big thanks for him..
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah..thats right :) but sure that he will make it also with oc and so on :)

will test it over the next days...@the moment i´m anyway on 998mhz under sense 2.1..lol
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Flashed, thanks!

first time to use android 2.3~ So beautiful! :p
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
After reflash the ROM again, the error

and then the application will be FC.

How to fix it? so thanks!
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I you use rmd recovery you can try option uid missmatch fix if im not wrong.

I dont know about other recovery.

Or maybe you can try to reflash again with both ext wiped using rmd recovery or 4ext recovery.

If you not use that recovery, untuk can try to Re partition ext4 with gparted.

:)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
he he thats right :)

You should format your ext partions...and rmd recovery |

yes, as rmd recovery can wipe both ext.. :) i also use it :)
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
One crazy issue was meeted.

PIN was set for unlock. With restore the system setting of Android 2.2, the PIN was incorrect. BUT it shall be SAME for both 2.3 and 2.2.

And then I can not login into ths system with 2.3. With 8 times wrong input, the system will reboot and wipe the data & cache!

So headache~
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
restore system settings...you mean tb or so...mmhh i do not restore settings only apps...lol

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I think he shouldnt restore system setting.. especially from 2.2 to 2.3..

Hi Alex,

as i wrote on another post, i'm using your 1.0 stable stock rom, with some mod. And it's perfect in everything as i want from a rom :-)

This one (1.6) have the same bug like the ore 2.1+3.0 sense rom (i mean, no vertical video recording, 720p video recording possible but with quality not good as the original rom ,etc)?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes...this bug is on all hd roms...but honest...720 p is also laggy in froyo and gb sense1 roms..not so bad but laggy..and also file size is to big for me..so for me this is not a problem...and do you really make videos in portrait..i never..lol... :)

Whats the difference btw Data2sd nd data2whatever. I know data2sd but dont knw abt the other
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
data2whatver (meterlon) - one ext4 (save for data but a bit slower

data2sd (sibere) - one fat32

data2ext (ownhere) - 2x ext4 + swap - fastest but not so save (i have no data loses and this for around a half year)

with kind regards...for more information to this read in my wiki

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Alex-V#What_is_Alex-V
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
I think now Data2sd is using 1 ext4.

:)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
ohh..yes right bro, lol but in the üast it was a second fat32 :)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Yup You're right.

I tried it once with fat32 and use adb command to create it.

Nice work by sibere, but i prefer melethron one..

:)
[Desire Android Development] shujaswati:
@Alex, i'm using ur marvelous rom ALEX-V, the non-HD version. Have partition of fat32+1GB ext3. I wanna move now to ALEX HD A2SD version, do i need to repartition it to ext4, or it should work? Also do i need to fully wiped as i got alot of apps in it, can't i just flash the rom???
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i tried all versions only with ext4...but it should work...if you have rmd recovery on your phone you can easy port ext3->ext4 it have a function for that if you have problems :) And be sure to have around 1gb ext

[Desire Android Development] weirdsciencex:
First off thanks for a fantastic rom :)

Now a quick question I have installed the weather addon which you posted earlier and it works great.

The only thing I don't like about it is the background which detracts from the actual weather animation.

I have used other roms and the weather lockscreen appeared like the attached image. Is is possible to get this version or could you give me some pointers how to modify it myself?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
thx :)

Easiest way is to change the weather lockscreen apk inside my zip with the one from the rom you dont have this image :) If you need help let me know..

Tip: use winrar to open the zip..delete the apk and put in the right

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] weirdsciencex:
Thanks for your quick reply :) Will try it and see how it goes

Edit: I replaced the apk with the one from the pack below and now get the same wallpaper but the weather animations are missing :(

Here's the rom I was using: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15683536&postcount=1

and it's the sense 3.0 addons pack which contains the weather.

Thanks

Add: I had a look inside the apk for the original weather addon for your rom and the textures are there. But for some reason they aren't displayed. Please see second attached image.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Mmhh..if i have time i will look to this...
[Desire Android Development] weirdsciencex:
Ok thanks Alex. It's not important.. I will see if I can figure out myself why the animations are missing.. I was thinking that the new apk is looking in a different place for the weather animation files
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
And if you use my patch again the animions are back..?

For wallpaper..i must look there the wallpapers are..i thought in that apk...
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Anyone had any problems with SetCPU on this ROM? I've had lockups and reboots when using it on smartass and interactive with no OC (max 998). Seems to happen most with plants vs zombies. Game runs fine without setCPU. ROM is on the original snq v6 kernel. I'm just wondering if it's just my phone and setcpu or this ROM and kernel. Not really a problem as I just uninstalled setCPU, but I'm curious to see if affects anyone else.

Booce
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Maybe setcpu conflict with screenstate scaling...try delete in bin the ifreq and reboot...

But also in the past (froyo) i have little freezes with setcpu..thats why i dont want to use any extra software for cpu..and instead a script :)
[Desire Android Development] booce:
Thanks for the quick reply Alex. I think I'll just leave setCPU uninstalled, your ROM is quick enough without it. Stability is waaay more important to me than a little extra speed.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
hehe :) me too :)

anyway you can also oc if you change the speed (cpu freq) in the script i said

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i checked it now..the wallpapers are in (are coded in m10 files..so use m10editor to find theme) here is now a version without this wallpapers...hope it work now..as i have not tested at the moment.. :)

edit: tested and works :) :)

with kind regards
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm trying to enjoy the last d2ext version but it doesn't boot. I've done most steps alright (flashing the custom hboot, wiping, etc) and when rebooting, it stays at the bootscreen (not the bootanimation)

The only thing a little different from what Alex says in first post is that I have different partitions: fat32 + 768ext4 + 256 ext4 + 128 swap. As far as i know, it should work because my 2nd partition also is 1/3 of the first. Maybe the swap MUST be just 100mb?

I usually make partitions with RMD recovery and it does'nt have the option to select the partitions Alex said in first post.

I hope I did not use too much spanglish :D

And thanks in advance:)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Your partition is good it should works..

is the hboot already change?

and i assume you use data2ext 387 system hboot.. if your hboot already change to 387/10/40 i think it should works..

I use rmd recovery, but never make the partitions with it.. I use gparted to partition my sd card..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Yes, I have the 387 system hboot. Tried repartitioning again and still doesn't boot...

I'm gonna try to download gparted and make the exact partitions...

The SD works well because I can run other Sense ROMs...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Mmhh..interesting thing..yeah..please try again with exact partitions..and be sure you have the 387 mb hboot...if you had newer cm7 hboots or other than you must use the hboot downgrader first...so if you start your phone you must see in the upper display the 387 version..?!?
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
I'm sure I have the 387 hboot cause it says so in the fastboot menu.

Now, with partitions made with Gparted, still doesnt boot :(

In the recovery says the partitions are a bit different from what I set in Gparted (1078 mb instead of 1024 for the 1st sd-ext, 358 instead of 308, and the swap is correct (102)

Maybe there is a problem with the partitions, or maybe we have an X-File. (or maybe I'm too lazy doing something wrong that I haven't noticed, but I hope this is not the case :P)
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Check the MD5:

387 data2ext: fabeba3af3ac1c681e03aa694757bbf4

or maybe you can try data2whatever 387 version with fat32 + ext4 + swap

or back to stock hboot and try stock hboot version..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
The md5 is the same...

I have flashed V 1.5d2ext 387hboot version and it works...

as I said, X-FILE :confused:

Next try the V1.6 odexed with stock hboot, let's see...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
this is so strange...mmhh..yeah hope this will work better for you
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
V1.6 for stock hboot worked... but do you know what?

I have made a custom hboot with 390mb on system partition an now it works!

Really strange that for some users the ROM could use more space than for others... Is it possible? (i didn't add anything to the ROM before flashing, of course)

How much space do people usually have on /system after flashing?
[Desire Android Development] booce:
I'm on stock hboot and I have 48.55 mb free on system
