Woah, first imptressions:

I can't believe that what my Desire is running is a Sense ROM. Incredible speed and no lags at all. As I've done with the older version, I have tried deleting the scripts 02ramtweaks and 77tweaks, and applying the V6 Supercharger and it seems that the apps running in background (specially Sense) doesn't close so often, so it is nearly like having all the advantages of an AOSP ROM. If someone feels the Sense restarting too often, maybe you can try the same I did and see if it works well for everyone ;)

I have a few questions about the ROM (I'm sorry if I'm asking too much, but it's curiosity and maybe it can help)

1- Why some apps, like Superuser, or voicesearch, appears two times in /system/app? They are working well but maybe we can delete the old version (I assume the VoiceSearch.apk is the oldest, and the newer is com.google.voicesearck.apk)

2- I have installed all the styles of lockscreen (idlescreen_weather and so, in the zip provided by AlexV) But I understand that those ones are stored on sd-ext and symlinked, so maybe it would be better to free some space from system (there are a lot of apps and widgets I don't use, and also the ringtones and alarms), then copy the idlescreen apk's from the zip manually to /system/app, and then run the odexing script (may the new feature of Titanium Backup also work?) and finally, put the new odexed files to system. I know how to do this, but what I totally ignore is how does the "symlink" works: I mean, if I do the described steps and nothing more, will the ROM still "look for" the idlescreen apk's first on the sd-ext, and then in internal, or how?

I'm sorry if I haven't explained very well, but my english is not too good.

3- It's not really important, but the script for vdd_levels is incorrect, as it is made for HAVS and the new snq- kernel is SVS. (i think Alex forget to change or delete it)

Really thanks in advance and, as always, congratulations to the dev for such a fantastic ROM.

I'm not sure at all, but maybe just deleting the idlescreen_shortcut.apk...?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
he he :) big thx :)

1. sure you can delete those...sorry

2. should work....but its easier to extract the rom zip (with winrar) and add / delete your apk´s you want and zip it again with winrar...only be sure system folder is not bigger than 375-380 mb (rom will not boot if its to big)

3. I just have left it, because if you flash gingercakes again....(think its not a problem with snq...because it only dont find something to change)

with kind regards...Alex

I can't use your rom. I tried 3 times. Using your custom hboot. After first boot I have to wait 3 hours on white screen after unlocking from lockscreen. Then I finally can use the rom and recover my apps in titanium backup. But after booting again I can't (freezes at first screen). Any ideas ?

Sorry for my english. Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
there must be something really wrong...you are sure 387mb hboot is flashed...look to bootloader and pink letters on top ...also all partitions created....etc

Problem solved. I just had to wait for 1 hour. Is it normal waiting for so long ?

Tks
[Desire Android Development] dbanzon:
1 hr is extremely long, it should be just 5 - 10 minutes. As per previous posts, pls make sure you flashed correct hboot, partition your sdcard with gparted and dont forget to full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] FabioMC:
I flashed the correct hboot, partition with 4ext tool. I found another problem. I can't use morelocale2 and the system is extremely slow, but shows the correct internal space used/free (d2ext).
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Try to partition your SD Card with Gparted..

And what is your SD Card and class?

because data2ext, data2w or data2sd sometimes have problem with class 10 cards...
[Desire Android Development] rayiskon:
congratz Alex for the recognized dev. status ;)
[Desire Android Development] ironjon:
Yes this could be my problem too.

I have a Kingston class 10 card and with data2ext and 385 hboot I have delays and lags with my apps, rom was flying but my apps not. :rolleyes:

Now with stock hboot and a2sd I'm really happy :)

When usin d2ext a class 10 sd card can have problems with our desire.
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Dear Alex

My Desire was installed with V1.6, and updated to V1.7.5 without wiping DATA. The system was booted sucessfully.

Today, I formated the partion the ext4 (1.6G+0.3G) and swap (0.1G), and wiped the DATA, then Flashed ZIPPED ROM - File: Alex-V_1.7.5_Sense_2.1+3.0_d2ext_normal_hboot.zip. After re-booting, the phone was looped at the Screen "HTC - Quietly Brilliant".

No Idea for fix this issue, would you please provide some advice? SO thanks!
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Did you do a full system wipe as well? And dalvik cache etc?
[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:
Full Wiped, All DATA + Dalvik cache
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Try to wipe again and reflash

sent from my desire runnin alex-V's GB rom v1.7

[Desire Android Development] xingkongqy:

still loop~

hi, which hboot do I have to use for a2sd version? do not bother, I got it, for those who do not know it's stock version.
[Desire Android Development] Dimson75:
round battery from % without excesses

The version for A2SD + D2EXT 387

Checked personally
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
Stock Hboot....

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

The best is start from the scratch...

repartition your SD card with gparted...

FAT32 + 1GB Ext4 + 0.3GB Ext4 + 0.1 Swap

Then full wipe and flash the ROM...

maybe i'll try to make data2w or amarullz script for normal hboot..

you can try it, it only need one ext partition..
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
If you have Qtadb in your PC, you can see if /system partition is full. With 1.7 version I had a problem that the ROM didn't fit in 387hboot (Alex told me it was probably due to PVT4desire or something) So I just deleted a few apps from the zip and flash again, and it worked perfectly.

With the last version, I've installed it also after cleaning up some space in system, so can't confirm if the problem would persist for me.

Also be sure, when partitioning your SDcard, you are using mb alignment and no cilinder alignment.

For those who have changed to the normal hboot a2sd version, I fully recommend to get a compatible class 6 card (Trascend working perfect for me) and try the 387hboot d2ext version, It takes all the magic from this ROM. I've just made a nandroid and I'll keep it in a strongbox :D

Thanks for your answer, I've made it and the weather lockscreen now has no lag at all.

For those who want to try, here are the odexed apk's ;) Don't forget it's not a flashable zip. Just extract the files and copy to /system/app via adb or root explorer. Always make sure you have enough space in /system! All the files need ~45 MB

http://www.multiupload.com/97DVRTCP4T

The files and the idea are from Alex-V, I only spent a few minutes
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
How do i know if i got enough space in system

sent from my desire runnin alex-V's GB rom v1.7
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
You can check with quick system info for /system space.

And make sure if you add that file is not more than 387mb.
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
If you can't even boot it, the only way I know is with http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

Just install the program to your PC and plug in the phone via USB. Then click in phone info and you'll see all the partitions.

I think it should work when the phone is booting (even if it is stuck at htc screen) but if don't, you can try from recovery with all partitions mounted.

Edit: 1 minute late :p And I was thinking that jory9 was the user that couldn't boot the ROM, xingkongqy. Anyway, qtadb is a must have!
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
:P

Yes, Qtadb is more simple than using adb command manually..

Thank you for sharing that weather lockscreen..

Will try it..
[Desire Android Development] Birdskenburg:
Hi,

First of all: this is the best rom i've ever had, thnx Alex-V:D

I just have a noob question... I'm wondering, is the S-off data2ext version faster than the A2SD version (which I'm running now)? Could someone explain to me why some consider the data2ext version to be better (because, as far as the storage capacity is concerned, A2SD allows me to store all the apps I need).

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
yes, it's faster because all the /system is in nand, and because d2ext is faster than a2sd per se. In theory, d2ext is a bit more "stressing" for the sd card and may cause some problem, but right now the script is completely stable I think, and I've never have suffered data loss or something like that.

(I'm not truly sure about this, that's what I read some time ago( But the fact is that it IS faster ;)

On the other side, I have a question about the GPS in all Sense ROMs. At least for me the fix is very slow compared to an AOSP ROM. Using GPS status, the signal appears but it takes a long time to fix (it shows 0/5, or 0/8... for a long time) I'm using the same radio (the latest) all the time and the same gps.conf file, but the problem persists, and I wonder if there is a way to have a faster fix like in CM7 or Redux2 for example.

Thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
ok..fixed :)

ok massive respect

i download rom now,i try it,i hope so you good in android.

i like your WM 6.5 ROM from loooong time.
[Desire Android Development] Denimo:
So it's still a bit vague for me. But can I flash the rom with CM7r2 hboot? Or do I reallly need to use the custom hboot, specified in the first post?

I am getting a bit tired of seba's updating and unstable rom. So I am trying to look for a better, alternative ROM. This looks like a perfect, daily use, ROM. :)

But can someone give me a link of the latest ROM version CM7r2? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Yes, I always use a modified gps.conf (took it from xda, but I didn't remember where, it was a post titled "faster gps fix" or something)

It's not really a problem, gps is working properly, but not as fast as with AOSP roms. Maybe it could be related to something in the Sense RILs ? (cause it's slower in all Sense ROMs I have tried, and changing the kernel doesn't seem to affect)

I'm going to have a look at build.prop in Redux2 and your ROM and look for any diferences affecting GPS.

Summarize:

- Radio: it's the same radio all the time, so I'm assuming the "problem" is not here. And even changing, it doesn't improve the gps fix.

- RIL: Maybe is what makes the difference?

- Kernel: I'm not sure if the kernel affect the gps, and changing it doesn't seem to improve it, so could be discarded.

- Some values in build.prop (I'm going to compare now)

- Other files, as gps.conf (is the same as I said) or some libs (gps.goldfish.so, gps.bravo.so) Don't know anything about libs, but I found something interesting playing with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349583
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
AFAIK, there's no and probably there will not be a cm7 version of this ROM. The main adventage and one of the reasons of its speed and stability is that all the ROM is on nand (with d2ext 387 hboot version)

So I fully recommend you to use this one ;)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Yes :) from the 3 times recognized developer :D
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I'm currently using Runny AIO 2.5 odexed (by ckpv5) on oxygenr2 hboot and it's flying. If you have a fast sdcard symlinks actually don't degrade performance. Odexed system is what maked the difference.
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
Runny aio is still very sluggish compared to this rom
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
Deodexed version might be. Odexed one is really fast. I was stunned first time I run it and I've been using it for I think a week. No slowdowns, no lags, just an amaizing sense 3.5 experience.
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
So you are talkin about alex v's sense 3.5 rom ?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yep.. :)

change the hboot takes 2 min :)

[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
would be nice to test :) maybe you can uploud ..?

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
And what did you use? A2SD or amarullz script?

If you in oxygenr2, maybe using a2sd is enough.

But if you use some script with dalvik cache in /sdext such as Data2Ext, data2w or modified amarullz script, maybe it will slightly degrade the performance..

Maybe.. Dont know for sure..

:)
[Desire Android Development] PlayPetepp:
I just sent ckpv5 (he odexed it, I just tweaked it a bit) a pm asking if I can share it. It's not my work so gotta give proper credits. ;)

The rom I'm running is made for personal use only so I won't post it here publicly. If anyone wants to try it I'll send a pm with the link. I'm running it on oxyr2 hboot but there's also cm7r2.

[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Well, didn't found anything interesting I think:

- In your ROM there is a line in build.prop that doesn't appear in Redux2: ro.ril.def.agps.mode= 2 But I think it only affect the agps and I'm trying gps without "help" from network.

- Changing the RIL doesn't seem to affect (I have tried all the Sense RIL, those HM)

- About the libs: gps.bravo.so and gps.goldfish.so are different in every ROM (as they have different sizes) But I can't see what are the differences since I have no knowledge at all about how the drivers work. And deleting gps.goldfish.so also doesn't improve the fix as it did for me on CM7.

So no idea, I can't do anything more, theres no big problem cause the gps works well, but as in all Sense ROMs, no so good as on AOSP.

Also make sure the partitioning process is ok, with the recommended sizes and alignment with mib (gparted is the best way IMO, but you can also make the partitions from 4ext or RMD recoveries)
