[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Gamer here. Dont care about the qudrant.

Brothers in Arms 2

A2sd+ version faster than data2sd during gameplay of course.

Both version shows a bit laggy sometimes, loading graphics as well as too much crossfires, not too much on the a2sd+ version though.

Thanks for the rom.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes...the little lag comes from the hd rom...because it needs more ram...will try with a swap partition... :)

thanks for review :)

with kind regards..Alex

Hello,

I am new in this rom, and my question is:

Do you have working exchange contacts?

I sync with exchange and got mail, calendar, but no contacts
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I think this only work with the android dialer and contacts...or..?

One Q: how is possible to enlarge overal don't for example in messages and UI in general? Seems that Spare parts don't make any change (overal font size). Thx
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
I don´t have tried to change font size...think the spare parts option for this is more for aosp roms....maybe font changer..??

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
One q I always forget to ask: In the data2whatever thread, the OP says you should NOT use the restart option for d2ext/d2sd/a2sd because it's like 'pulling the battery' each time and could therefore lead to corruption of the sd card...in that case, is there any point in having this option? Is it more responsible for you NOT to put it in and use a link to that thread to explain that you are doing people a favour???

Here's what I mean:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867049&highlight=data2whatever

ADDITIONAL INFO: Even without "life on the edge" you should watch the first 4 "don't"s of "life on the edge". The normal script use the same disk safety methods as NTFS on Windows or EXT4 on linux. But as you know you shouldnt just switch off the computer because there can still be issues in very rare cases. Reboots with tools like "snqs power menu" is the same as a batterypull (or pulling the ac plug on PC) and this isn't good in general (and this also applies for using it with app2sd). If you want to go to recovery just make a normal shutdown and switch the phone on with "volume down" button pressed.

DON'T use the reboot of snq's powermenu (or any other reboot app)

- DON'T use anything in the "ROM Manager" that makes it reboot.

- DON'T do adb reboot / abd reboot recovery / adb reboot bootloader

- DON'T pull the battery while the phone is on (this should be obvious)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
For sure...a residual risk is always in Data2sd/whatever....melethron work on this to minimize this...thanks for his work on this.....on the other site...i use data2sd think..more than a month now and have no data looses or anything other....

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
I was the same until I read this a couple of weeks ago now I always power down fully when going into recovery! I'm wondering whether the sd card reader issues I had with my previous phone and this repaired one were related to this issue and not a h/w sd card reader issue...ah well!

Having said that, I don't know why I went into Steve Jobs 'I know what's best for you' mode! The option should be left in but perhaps you could put a warning/disclaimer in. Just an idea.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Done.. :)

[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
Hi!

I was running 1.4 HD but had problems because of a ...gapps crashing all the time.

I updated to 1.5HD without deleting anything. Rom worked good but HTC widgets didn't work. So I decided to delete data and cache and the widgets (weather, clock, scenes, ...) worked. But the keyboard didn't work, so I installed the desire z .zip some posts ago. Keyboard worked again but no google app incl. market was in the app menu. Then I decided to go back to 1.4.

Can anyone tell my why 1.5 is so buggy for me? perhaps because I did not format ext partition?

Greetings!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
wow...nice story :)

go to recovery and make a data factory reset (full wipe) than flash the rom...this should work

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] lkbfreak:
Hmm, after whole day of testing 1.5HD I decided to quit it - the longer I use it, more instable it becomes. Lag becomes obvious and annoying, random reboots with no warning occure, apps do crash sometimes... Maybe it's my fault but generally the idea of HD port is awesome and keep up your work Alex! And yes, power button menus do strange things (hibernate reboots etc.).

Back to the great v2.1 APSD+
[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
OK, yesterday I installed 1.5HD Data2SD first and made the factory reset second, only bugs. Today first factory reset of my 1.4HD Data2SD, then installed 1.5HD Data2SD and everything seems fine. On first boot the HTC Live Wallpaper app crashed, but now it is running since 2 hours without any problem. I will report later when I have used it for a while.

Is it possible to make the Power Control Notification-Bar HD with last apps compatible to 1.5HD? I liked it much. Only thing I would change is the wifi-logo. It is the only one that is not black and 2D like the others.

Greetings!

PS: Has anyone registered for HTCSense.com with his/her Desire with HD ROM installed? Which phone should I enter? Desire HD or Z?
[Desire Android Development] Thorsten_de:
Hi!

I use the Alex V1.5 HD a2sd+ now 2 day's and it has no errors, freezes or reboot's. :)

All works perfect at my HTC desire.

Greetings, Thorsten :)
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Anyone experienced browser crashes? I get thrown out when reading different pages such as BBC and MoDaCo...

The lag is a lot less than 1.4 for me though which is a plus.

Currently using latest coutts kernel. Browser crashes were before that though so no change.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Did you used the data2sd or the a2sd+ version..?

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Good to hear.... :) (if its not fast enough..try the a2sd+ version )

As i don´t know what files must be changed for the mod...i wait for MrLuje and hope he can create a one for the new build 1.72

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] lkbfreak:
I used a2sd+ although there probelms I noticed may be related to my apps and settings.So,generally the 1.5 rom is great but I prefer v2.1 regular sense.Keep your with great work Alex! :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
maybe...but thanks for give a try :) :):):););)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] tschii:
This would be interessting for me too...

Any hints?

Hi Alex, running 1.4 a2sd+ i had 2 freezes (5 days using 1.4).

Can i update to 1.5 wiping only cache and dalvik cache? (as reported in WIKI)

PS flashing your expressomode style, is it possible to use other HD skins too?
[Desire Android Development] tiotempestade:
Dude, just have a look at the Wiki...
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
if i open htcsense.com on pc (before make a account using my phone) its true i sign in and see the dashboard...but not really much more....

But i can live with it (for contacts you can also use google) and Htc Hub (themes ringtones etc) and Htc likes (programs) have no problem....so..if anyone knows more about this...let me know...

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah...a look to wiki is always good... :)

A full wipe is always recommed before flash a rom....and yes you can flash my expresso Mod and also here are other themes you can select it extra

[Desire Android Development] follettoverde:
Thanks Alex, you're always very kind (already flashed 1.5 with full wipe)
[Desire Android Development] BashyUK:
Just a quick summary of my 1.5 hd experience with d2sd for those wanting to try it out:

Performance v good, quite stable:

Massive internal free space 500MB+

No FC's

Some lag experienced after periods of long use but for short use and when waking up, no lag.

Browser and some app crashes (they close, no fc's). This was just me though, others don't seem to have reported it.

Other than that, the best of the HD versions so far.

Am on v2.1 standard with a2sd+ now as need complete stability whilst at work. Back to 70MB free internal. Ah well. But zero lag at all and smooth as water out of a jug!

Will definitely come back to try out further hd releases, esp. once the swap file use has been investigated to compensate for our low RAM compared to Desire HD and Z.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problem...if i can help i will do :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thanks for summery with data2sd...the next script from melethron is much better :)

[Desire Android Development] Thorsten_de:
Hi Alex!

Today I've got one freeze with the 1.5 a2sd+ :eek :(

It freeze in the standby screen after I come back home...

Now I try to test the baadnwz 1.7b ROM but it's the same. :confused::confused:

If I stay at home it never has a freeze only if I on the way.

Maybe it come from the WLAN?

So I have update the Radio and will try to test again!

Greetings, Thorsten :)
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Interesting that is the same on badnewz...let me know if its better with new radio :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] tiotempestade:
I think the voltage that is set for screen off in the kernel - if it's undervolting - can cause that..

Which kernel are you using?

See if the min voltage is 875 or 925 mV..

Think 925 mV is default in Alex's ROMs to prevent that from happening.. (same as baadnwz..)
[Desire Android Development] Thorsten_de:
Hi!

I use always the default kernel that is included in the ROM.

How I can see the voltage that the system use in standby?

Greetings, Thorsten :)
[Desire Android Development] Mike1988:
Nice Alex-V 1.5 HD + data2sd :D

But I sometimes have problems with the lock screen. The screen remains black

Have a nice Day
[Desire Android Development] tiotempestade:
Sorry but I'm not sure where you can find it.. and don't have time to look it up right now..

The little search i did, I found that, for example, richardtrip's kernel now has a min voltage of 950 mV whereas couttstech's (default in Alex's ROMs if I'm not not mistaken) has a min voltage of 925mV..

But since you use the all the defaults I dont think that the reason for your problem is the voltage (or the min processor frequency for that matter..) although the symptoms are the same..

Maybe it's something else.. I just don't know..

Good luck and post your findings!
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
the default kernel in my Rom is sibere´s SVS Batt-fix Kernel and this is different to a havs Kernel... :)

What's the difference between SVS and AVS?

Static Voltage Scaling will change the voltage based on a set table created by the kernel maker. Example: At a certain speed, say 245MHz, 925mV is feed into the CPU. At 998MHz, 1225mV is used.

Adaptive Voltage Scaling will change the voltage depending on temperature and CPU needs. Personally, AVS is running rock solid for me but I can't say for sure if it will be for everyone so SVS kernels will continue to be made available.

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
First thanks... :)

This come from the data2sd script...if you want it faster try the a2sd+ rom :)

[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
Hi!

2 Days of v1.5 d2sd are over. Here my review:

About 1 min after booting the Phone is nearly lag free. One exception: The HTC Live Wallpapers. Currently I am using the Solar Wind Live Wallpaper (free in market). It is the most amaizing live wallpaper I have ever seen! Totaly lag free and stunning beautiful!

Battery live is also great! I unplugged my phone more than 24h ago. Yesterday nearly the whole day WLAN was on (weak usage but on), Bluetooth always on, about 1h connected to handsfree, 10m Angry Birds, 10m Worms, RSS Reader checking for news. Live Wallpaper active. Now I have 45% Akku left! It was only weak usage but it is OK!

I have installed the % Battery .zip from post 3, the HTC Desire Z Keyboard .zip and the wake up with optical sensor .zip. Nearly 50 apps installed and still 495MB free. My ext partition is 1GB.

I created a htcsense.com account with my phone, there I don't get asked qhich phone I have. The phone finder is deactivated. I can download Widgets, I haven't tested more.

Great ROM! Keep on developing, it's really good!

your roms are the best:) I love them. I flashed Last 1.5 , SMSs read the warning LED continues to work though: (

[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
no reboot yet ey?
[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
No, only direct after flashing and first boot HTC Live Wallpaper app crashed. After a restard everything was fine. Except this no app crash or reboot happened. Looks like it is very stable!

Greets
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
ill see for myself because data2ext has reboot problems, at any point it may reboot. all i want is a stable data2ext and thats it, any rom will do.

ill flash it now. you didnt change any kernel as i understand.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
its not based on data2whatever yet...i test some scripts at this time and reboots i only have with life on the edge update...but melethron will fix this :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] KobiP:
I even don't know how to change kernel ;-) I also don't know the dis- / advantages of changing it.

Up to now nothing negative to report.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Kernel flash is like a rom flash but without wipe

Maybe a bit faster...but also it need a bit more battery :)

Ill stick with this for a while for i need the space.
[Desire Android Development] ptulluri:
Can you please add English-US as an option.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes the bit laggy comes from data2sd...maybe tomorrow i will at a other data2sd test version...in which its better to use reiserfs instead of ext3)

Hi Alex,

I'm working on the power notification menu for v1.5 and I'm wondering if the framework-res.apk from your rom is a stock or a customized one?

If it is customized, can you send me the stock ?

Ah cool...i mean fine.... :)

No the one in the rom is not cudtomized...only the one in the theme.zip so you can use the one from the rom :)

you can try it with only ext and with the life on the edge update but if you have reboots...make a reiserfs and a swap partion in this way :

burn this (Parted Magic) as cd and reboot with it:

but instead of ext..make a reiserfs...

the Partitions you must make:

1. partition large Fat32 (leave 1.1gb)

2. 1GB reiserfs partition

3. 100mb swap partition

But i dont know how to make reiserfs partition..Can i make it with clockwork recovery because i have no empty cd´s to burn
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
recovery can´t to this for you....the best and free software to that is Parted Magic (maybe buy a cd..?!? :) )

or with ubuntu or other Linux (gparted)...or for Windows Paragon Partitions Maker...or any other Partitions Maker that can handle Linux ext and reiserfs partitions

like you see in the picture how to...or read in the other how to...but instead of creat a ext (like in the how to) you select a reiserfs :):)

Alex has been busy as always. Will have to let others try this for you at the moment though.

Remember to update the wiki! Put this under dev versions under d2sd.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Okay Alex i will try this TEST Data2whatever even it has more work in the sdcard if users decided to revert.

I did not like the 1.5 data2sd because it lags too much.

We'll feedback again for this one.

Ill just backup my sdcard content first which is almost 8gb, grrrrr, ha ha ha.

Thanks for the rom test.

P.S. You have 3 attachment in your POST # 4, life-on-the-edge.zip (2.4 KB, 4 views)

life-on-the-edge-UNPATCH.zip (2.1 KB, 2 views)

update-signed_screenstate998mhz.zip (3.4 KB, 5 views)

DID YOU APPLY THESE? WHICH ONE?

EDIT:

Ahh geez, those attachments are for EXTs, thanks.

I'll try this one with an EXT first, more work partitioning right now with ReiserFS

Hope i can find reiserFS partitioning for windows so it is faster, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Guys,

May i say this on the record, that this Test Rom 1.5 HD first boot sucks.

I maybe the second person to flash this, Alex is the first.

A lot of patience is needed here or else you will end up thinking it is not good and go back to another rom version.

It has been 15 minutes and i have only past the HTC screen, Now i am on the lockscreen and it is not yet responding,

IT is still stabilizing i guess so i cant set up yet.

@ Alex

This is getting so long.........

How long till you can set-up phone wizard.

I am on lock screen, when i unlock it only displays a white htc screen

i reflash following the same steps.

Again i am on lockscreen,

If i unlock it only shows a white htc screen?

Is this Hours to stabilized?

Geez, Third time it is still the same.......

How can i get pass that htc scren?

This is third reflash with full wipe.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
No problem :) from tomorrow i must also work again :)

yes..must update wiki :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Any chance you could make Alex-V Z?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
Thats why its called test version :) :)

I think you are on ext or..? (with the life on the edge patch this 15 min to pass is gone...but it can be that you have reboots)

with reiserfs and swap its also a bit slow on begining...but you see the video..? this is with all my apps installed and after 1.5 days of use without reboot :)

I hope that melethron can fix the patch soon...but for now i´m very happy with reiserfs :)

-----------

The thing is that this go another way...like you can read in post 4
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I have tried the Ext3 already. i had reboots so i format the sdcard.

I am on reiserFS, i am following the guide, i edited my post on the previous. it is not just passing through the lock screen
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
think yes...but not at the moment...will wait to see..what people think about test version and...maybe for melethron (he helped me very much with this new script...because dalvik is now really on sd and the idea of system data not to sd...but share in 2 parts..and put it to system and data partition)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
wait...it will come...yes this "sucks" but after the setup and a bit of use it will be like the video :) its like i said the video is after 1.5 days of use not directly after the rom flash...if you want it fast from the begin...flash a a2sd+ version like mine or badnewz or pays or neos or robocik and and and :)

(with the patch this is gone....so we wait for the patch)
